A recent study by the Chinese University of Hong Kong has discovered another saying: An apple a day keeps old age away.The study involved fruit flies(g果蝇), as they share many genes(基因) with humans. Researchers gave one group of fruit flies normal food, and another group of fruit fliesgot the same food including apple.The results showed that flies that ate apple lived an average of 55 days longer than the flies that didn’t eat apple. The study also found that apple-eating flies were more able to walk, climb and move about as they became old, the Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry reports.The researchers believe that the antioxidants (抗氧化剂）found in apples are good for health.In another experiment, researchers studied the diets of thousands of women. They found that those women who often ate apples were 20 percent less likely to have heart disease.Sc ientists have recently discovered the apple’s genetic code(基因代码). This allows scientists to make new kinds of fruit that are healthier. Researchers are already using this information to grow apples with added antioxidants. Antioxidants help to keep eyes and joints (关节)healthy and protect against heart attacks and cancer. Apples that help people lose weight may be in supermarkets in just four or five years. They are said to be “extra healthy” apples that can stop people from overeating.【小题1】Fruit flies were used in the research because_______________ .A．they love to eat applesB．they share similar genes with humansC．they are easy to catchD．they can live longer【小题2】By studying the diets of many women, researchers ___________ . A．proved apples were good for people’s health.B．found they are healthier than menC．helped them to lose weight successfullyD．discovered the genetic code of the apple【小题3】From the story, we can infer(推测) that _________________.A．women like to eat apples more often than menB．people who eat apples are easier to have heart diseaseC．scientists are studying a new type of applesD．apples’ genetic code is similar to other fruits【小题4】 You may find the passage in ____________ .A．a science magazine B．a guidebookC． a picture show D．a storybookPassage CNow satellites are helping to forecast（预报）the weather. They are in space, and they can reach any part of the world. The satellites take pictures of the atmosphere（大气）, because this is where the weather forms（形成）. They send these pictures to the weather stations. So meteorologists（气象学家）can see the weather of any part of the world. From the pictures, the scientists can often say how the weather will change.Today, nearly five hundred weather stations in sixty countries receive satellite pictures. When they receive new pictures, the meteorologists compare（比较）them with earlier ones. Perhaps they may find that the clouds have changed during the last few hours. This may mean that the weather on the ground may soon change, too. In their next weather forecast, the meteorologists can say this.So the weather satellites are a great help to the meteorologists. Before satelliteswere invented, the scientists could forecast the weather for about 24 or 48 hours. Now they can make good forecasts for three or five days. Soon, perhaps, they may be able to forecast the weather for a week or more ahead（提前）.1. Satellites travel _____________.A. in spaceB. in the atmosphereC. above the groundD. above space2. Why do we use the weather satellites to take pictures of the atmosphere? Because __________.A. the weather satellites can do it easilyB. clouds form thereC. the weather forms thereD. the pictures can forecast the weather3. Meteorologists forecast the weather __________.A. when they have received satellite picturesB. after they have compared new satellite pictures with earlier onesC. before they received satellite picturesD. during they study satellite pictures4. Maybe we’ll soon be able to forecast the weather f or ________.A. one dayB. two daysC. five daysD. seven days or even longer5. The main（主要的）idea of this passage is that satellites are now used in _________.A. taking pictures of the atmosphereB. receiving pictures of the atmosphereC. doing other work in many waysD. weather forecasting参考答案Keys: 1-5 ACBDDPassage D（2019中考保健与健康类选练）Running is becoming popular these days. Many of us run for our health. Doctors say many of the health problems come from these bad habits: eating too much, drinking too much, smoking, and not taking enough exercise. Doctors tell us, "Eat and drink less, don't smoke, and exercise more."Running is a good form of exercise because it helps build a strong heart. It also helps most people lose weight. One 68-year-old woman runs thee times a week. She runs to lose weight. "I love to eat," she says.Running is good for health in other ways, too. Many runners say running keeps colds and other small health problems away. "Running is my doctor," says one man. Running can also help people to relax.

But if we consider the situation of the young people aged from eight to eighteen, we should think again.What we often see nowadays is that young people juggle a larger number of electronic devices (电子产品) as they study. While working, they also surf on the Internet, send out emails, answer the telephone and listen to music on their iPods. In a sense, they are spending a large amount of time in fruitless efforts (努力) as they multitask. Multitasking is even changing the relationship between family members. As young people give so much attention to their own worlds, they seem to have no time to spend with the other people around them. They can no longer greet family members when they enter the house, nor can they eat at the family table.Multitasking also has an effect (影响) on young people’s performance at university and in the workplace. When asked about their opinions of the effects of modern gadgets (器具) on their performance of tasks, many young people gave a positive (肯定的) response (回应). However, the response from the worlds of education and business was not quite as positive. Educators feel that multitasking by children has a seriouseffect on later development of study skills. They believe that many college students now need help to improve their study skills. Similarly, employers (雇主) feel that young people entering the job market need to be taught all over again, as modern gadgets have made it unnecessary (没必要) for them to learn special skills to do their work.1. What does the underlined word “juggle” most probably mean?A. Want to buy.B. Use at the same time.C. Take the place of.D. Search information from.2. In Paragraph 3, the author points out that__________.A. family members do not greet each otherB. family members do not eat at the family tableC. young people get on well with their familiesD. young people hardly communicate with their family members3. What’s the main idea of the last paragraph?A. Young people must learn skills for future jobs.B. Young people benefit (获益) a lot from modern gadgets.C. Multitasking is an important skill to young people.D. Mul titasking influences young people’s development seriously.4. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A. Young people think multitasking is good for their study and work.B. Employers consider it unnecessary for young people to be taught all over again.C. Educators feel that young people don’t need to improve their study skills.D. People from the world of education believe multitasking has a good effect on children’s later study skills.5. The author develops (阐述) the passage mainly by__________.A. providing special examplesB. following the natural time orderC. giving out a cause and analyzing (分析) its effectsD. comparing opinions from different worlds参考答案BDDAC。

Neil MacGregor, the museum’s director, said: "For the Michelangelo we could have had three times as many visitors if we'd had space." The new 1,000 square metre space will allow more people to see these kinds of popularlarge-scale displays.Unfortunately, the new buildings was not completed in time for September’s exhibition, The First Emperor: China's Terracotta Army. The largest number of terracotta warriors from China’s Forbidden City left China and came to London. The museum had already sold over 30,000 tickets and had to borrow exhibition space from its reading room. The British Museum had to refuse Tutankhamen and the Golden Age of the Pharaohs at the same time as the Chinese exhibition because it did not have enough space for both. If the new buildings were finished in time, it could have enough space to running the exhibitions from China and Egypt at the same time.

This strange bird has a bald head, a bright pink body, red legs, and an unusual bill that is shaped like a spoon at the end. It lives along the coasts of Texas, Florida, Mexico, and South America. It finds food by walking through s hallo w water and swinging its huge bill through the water. It uses its bill to catch and scoop up shrimp and small fish. As it eats, the spoonbill makes a strange noise. Some people say it sounds like a grunt or a groan.Spoonbills are large birds. They are about 30 inches tall. When they spread their wings, they are a light pink color. They become a bright rosy-pink color when they are adults.Spoonbills build their nests in large groups with other birds that live along the coast. Scientists call these groups mixed colonies. Spoonbills use sticks to build next on tree branches or on the ground. Female spoonbills build the nests. Males help by collecting sticks. Females lay two or three large eggs. Both parents take care of the eggs. The chicks hatch in about 23 days.Today there are large numbers of spoonbills in both Texas and Florida. One hundred years ago, however, there were very few spoonbills. They were almost extinct because of their beautiful wing feathers. People used the beautiful feathers to make womean’s hats and fans.When the hunting of these birds was stopped, the number of spoonbills and other coastal birds began to increase. But spoonbills are still in danger today. As people build more house, stores, and roads along the coast, they destroy the wet places where spoonbills like to live. ( )1.

Another advantage of shopping online is that you can also read the book reviews as well as readers’ reviews to get an idea whether the book is worth buying.Online bookstores offer great discounts(折扣) to regular customers which is a big attraction for book lovers.For book lovers, the most important thing is to get books on time. Therefore, you need to find a reliable(可靠的) online bookstore that will be able to provide fast deliveries(送货).Here are some tips to use when choosing an online bookstore. Some online bookstores are popular for fiction books; some are for non-fiction books or novels, etc. Understanding their specialization will help you get the right kind of books in time. Check whether you will be buying the books from a third-party seller or directly from the website. Although the website could be reputable(声誉好的)，third-party sellers advertised on their site may not have a good reputation. Never jump at stores that offer super cheap prices, as books sold at such low prices could be in very bad condition.Most of the popular online bookstores offer useful tools. One tool is a wish list tool on its website. You can update(更新) the list of books you wish to buy in the future. The bookstore will know what you want and will e-mail you immediately when the book of your choice is available。

2020年人教版新目标英语中考阅读理解、完形填空试题及答案1Do you know some of English expressions about clothes? Let me explain some to you.People wear pants to cover the lower part of their bodies. We sometimes say that people who are nervous have ants in their pants. They might also fly by the seat of their pants. They use their natural sense to do something instead of their learned knowledge. Sometimes, people may get caught with their pants down. They are found doing something they should not be doing. And, in every family, one person takes control. Sometimes a wife tells her husband what to do. Then we say she wears the pants in the family.Pants usually have pockets to hold things. Money that is likely to be spent quickly can burn a hole in your pocket. Sometimes you need a belt to hold up your pants. If you have less money than usual, you may have to tighten your bet. You may have to live on less money and spend your money carefully.Boots are a heavy or strong kind of shoes.

He said that you couldn’t be happy until you gave up your “racket”. My racket was lying. I lied about a lot of things to make myself happy. I always succeeded in lying to others. I felt happy when people told me I was such a convincing liar. However, I felt sad when I heard a girl say that she hated liars that day.On Saturday, many teenagers started to change. One of my new friends returned the toy bear he had stolen the day before to its owner. He told me that he had never felt so relaxedbefore, and he suggested that I try giving up my “racket”.One Friday morning my parents drove me to a three-day self-help seminar for teens called the Landmark Forum. When we arrived, my parents left me there.When I got home from the Landmark Forum, I tried to stop lying and started to take part in ball games and other activities at school. Now I don’t hate life any longer. I love it! I never knew I could be so happy. That seminar actually changed my life.There was once a man who had four sons. He wanted his sons to learn not to say what something was too quickly. So he sent them each to go and look at a pear tree that was quite far away.The first son went in the winter, the second in the spring, the third in summer, and the youngest son in the fall. When they had all gone and come back, he called them together to tell him what they had seen.The first son said that the tree was quite ugly. The second son said that it was covered with green flowers. The third son said that it was covered with flowers and looked beautiful. The last son disagreed with all of them. He said that there were many fruits on it.The man then explained to his sons that they were all right, because they had each seen but only one season. He told them that they cannot say what a tree or a person was like by only one season. “If you give up when it's winter, you will miss the promise of your spring, the beauty of your summer, and the fruits of your fall.”Hold on through the difficult days and better times are sure to come sooner or later.

Uniforms can help to distinguish the bad people who want to break the peace of education environment and steal the school equipment.Thirdly, the students do not need to waste their time in thinking about what to wear before going to school. They will no longer wonder how to wear in the right fashion trend. The parents also save the money from buying the fashionable clothes for their children because they wear uniforms on most weekdays.Last but not least, uniforms help the student to feel more about their school.

At first we made a reservation for a journey to Luxor, Egypt, for the autumn of 1997. The trip was cancelled because of a terrorist attack, which took place in Luzor, so we need to change our plans. We wanted sun, ancient buildings and all for less than $500 a week. We did not have a lot of choices, and so we decided to travel to Tunisia. At last we felt it was not at all a bad decision.When we left for Tunisia we did not have any “deep” understanding of the country, its history or its culture, but once we got there we found it very interesting. We saw ruins from the Roman Empire and the ruined towns. With a little time, these places offer a lot to see. Best of all, most of the place allow visitors to walk around the ruins.

It was a beautiful morning, so he went to the window and looked out. He was surprised to see a neatly dressed, middle-aged professor, who worked in the university just up the road from Mr Jones’s house, coming from the directionof the town. He had grey hair, wore a hat and thick glasses, and was carrying an umbrella, a morning newspaper and a bag. Mr Jones thought that he must have arrived by the night train and decided to walk to the university instead of taking a taxi.Mr Jones had a big tree in his garden, and the children had tied a long rope to one of its branches so that they could swing on it.Mr Jones was surprised to see the professor stop when he saw the rope, and look carefully up and down the road. When he saw that there was nobody, he stepped into the garden, put his umbrella, newspaper, bag and hat neatly on the grass and took hold of the rope. He pulled it hard to see whether it was strong enough to take his weight, then ran as fast as he could and swung into the air on the end of the rope, his grey hair blowing all around his face.At last the professor stopped, straightened his tie, combed his hair carefully, put on his hat, picked up his umbrella, newspaper and bag, and continued on his way to the university, looking as quiet and correct and respectable as one would expect a professor to be( )1.

Let me tell you about it.The word jeans comes from a kind of material that was made in Europe. The material, called jean, was named after sailors from Genoa in Italy, because they wore clothes made from it. In the 18th century jean cloth was made completely from cotton and workers at that time loved wearing itbecause the material was very strong and it did not wear out easily. In the 1960s, many university and college students wore jeans. Designers made different styles of jeans to make the 1960s’ fashion: embroidered jeans, painted jeans and so on. In the 1970s more and more people started wearing jeans because they became cheaper. In the 1980s jeans finally became high fashion clothing, when famous designers started making their own styles of jeans, with their own labels on them. Sales of jeans went up and up. But in the 1990s the worldwide economic situation got worse, and the sale of jeans stopped growing. However, jeans have never been out of fashion, and today young generation is still fond of wearing them.( )1. A. Asia B. America. C. Africa. D. Europe.( )2. A. sold B. made C. wore D. designed( )3.

For example, there are about 350 kinds of sharks that live in oceans around the world. All of the sharks are carnivores, but most of them don’t eat people. Some sharks are very small—the smallest shark is about 6 inches long—about as long as your hand. But some sharks are very large. The largest kinds of sharks may be 60 feet long and weigh 15 tons.Unlike many other kinds of fish, sharks do not have bone. Their bodies are made of a kind of white flexible material. Sharks do not have ears. However, they “hear” sound and move ments in the water. Any sound or movement makes the water vibrate. Sharks feel these vibrations and they help the sharks find food, too. Most sharks see best in low light. They often hunt for food in the evening, or in the middle of the night.Nowadays, scientists want to learn more about sharks for several reasons. For example, cancer is common in many animals, including people. However, it is rare in sharks. Scientists want to find why sharks almost never get cancer. Maybe this information can help people prevent cancer too. ( )1. A. ponds B. cities C. lakes D. oceans( )2. A. and B. so C. but D. or( )3. A. tall B. long C. far D. wide( )4.

We let her sit at our lunch table and we often said “Hi” to her, but she wasn’t our best friend. Throughout the year, she started talking to us more and more. We continued to be kind to her. She was really quiet.D uring the summer holidays, I got a letter from her. It read, “I just wanted to tahnk you so much for being so kind and friendly to me this year. Before you became my friend, I had no one to talk to or sit with at lunch. I didn’t think anyone wanted me arou nd. I even wanted to kill myself because of this. But you and your friends changed that. You make me feel happy. It meant so much to me. I am going to be moving and going to another school next year. I’ll never forgot you and what you did.”By the time I finished the letter, I was so surprised. I could not believe that I had just read.

Local After-school ProgramB. Happy Study CenterC. Serena and Happy Study CenterD. Serena’s HobbyBHow can you remember a song from your childhood to this day? Why do your teachers use songs to teach you English? It seems there is a scientific reason for this.Researchers are now studying the relationship between music and remembering a foreign language. They find that remembering words in a song is the best way to remember even the most difficult language.“Sin ging could be a new way of learning a foreign language. The brain likes to remember things when they are used in a catchy and meaningful way”，said Dr. Karen Ludke. The findings may help those who have difficulties learning foreign languages. On his blog, D r. Ludke writes. “A lis ten-and-repeat singing method can support foreign language learning, and opens the door for future research in this area.”Many language teachers know the value of using music and singing. Hua Zhuying, a teacher at a Chinese language school in Washington, D．C.depends heavily on songs in teaching Chinese. She says, “I use music all the time to teach children Chinese. For little kids usually we use English songs but teach them the Chinese lyrics. So it's easy for them to start because they know the music. Not only does it work, but it is fun for the kids.”“Sometimes, I think if I were taught English that way, maybe I would speak much better English than now，” Hua Zhuying adds.Our brain likes music, especially for remembering. So, if you're still struggling in learning a language, why not try singing it out?6．According to the passage, the best way to remember a foreign language is to ．A．read and write more B．listen to the teacher carefullyC．copy the words many times D．remember words in a song7．The underlined word “catchy” probably means “”．A．艰涩难懂的B．悦耳易记的C．枯燥乏味的D．震耳欲聋的8．Dr. Ludke believes that foreign language learning can be supported by ．A．using the listen-and-repeat singing methodB．listening to all kinds of famous musicC．writing songs with the languageD．reading the lyrics again and again9．From the passage, we know that Hua Zhuying ．A．is interested in writing English songsB．teaches children English by using musicC．teaches Chinese in an American schoolD．is a researcher in a language school10．The passage mainly tells us that ．A．many researchers realize the importance of language studyingB．your brain remembers a language better if you sing itC．many language teachers know the value of famous musicD．you will never learn language well unless you can singCWe may know that there are four basic periods for human beings to pass through when you enter and live in another country. This process helps you deal with culture shock.Culture shock begins with the "honeymoon period". This is the time when you first arrive in a place where everything about the new cu1ture is strange and exciting. You see new things, hear new sounds and language, eat new kinds of food. This period can last for quite a long time because you feel very happy.Unluckily, the second period can be more difficu1t. After you have got used to your new life, you can become very tired and begin to miss your motherland, your family, your friends, your pets and so on. Al1 the little prob1ems in life seem to be much bigger and more worrying when you face them in a foreign country. This period can be very difficult and lead to moving backwards quickly.The third period is called the "adjustment period". This is when you begin to realize that things are not so bad in the new country. Your sense of humor usually becomes stronger and you realize you are becoming stronger by 1earning to take care of yourself in the new place. Things are still difficult, but you are now a survivor.The fourth period can be cal1ed "at ease at last". Now you feel quite comfortable in your new place. You can deal with most problems that you have. You may still have prob1ems with language, but you know you are strong enough to deal with them. At this time, you may feel a little uncomfortable if you go back to your motherland. 11.According to the passage, culture shock usually happens when you ______.A．get married to a foreigner B．live in a big cityC．go to live in a foreign country D．meet foreigners in your motherland12.During the first period of the process, you feel _________.A．sad and lonely B．happy and excitedC．angry but strong D．easy but uncomfortable13.You will find that you are a survivor in _______.A．the 1st period B．the 2nd periodC．the 3rd period D．the 4th period14.The fourth period can be regarded as a period of being _____.A．relaxing B．worrying C．tiring D．upset15.

their baby was still too young to fly and couldn’t follow.Hours passed,and night fell.The tiny little thing was wandering around our yard,unaware of what could happen,and it was clear that the gosling needed protection,warmth and food to make it to the morning.At that point,we had to bring him into our backyard.We all pretty much slept with one eye open for several days.Each morning,we would try to rush the goose over to his parents,who kept coming back to our yard.He wouldn’t go to them,though,and they wouldn’t come close enough to claim him.The young goose had clearly decided we were his new family,and my twin sister Joanna called the little guy Peeper.Almost a year passed and we settled into a routine filled with feathery hugs and company.One evening,my uncle came over,and my dad threw Peeper up into the air to show he could fly around the house,but this time,Peeper just flew off.Everyone was verysad.Twenty years passed,and Peeper became a fond memory for my family.In ,an aging adult goose made his way back to my home.At first,I assumed it was just another Canada goose.After two weeks of the goose’s com ing back repeatedly,it became clear to me that this wasn’t a random goose.He did all of the same things Peeper used to,like trying to come in through the front door and sleeping in our enclosed pool area.Besides,this goose responded to the name Peeper.Much to my amazement,my old best friend had returned,20 years later.4.Why did the author bring the little goose home that night?A.It couldn’t find its parents.B.It was too fragile to survive.C.It wanted to stay in the yard.D.It enjoyed the author’s company.5.What does the underlined word “claim” in Paragraph 3 mean?A.Get.B.Forgive.C.Challenge.D.Annoy.6.What can we infer about the author from the teed the goose Peeper.B.She set Peeper free on purpose.C.She had a deep feeling to Peeper.D.She trained the goose to fly daily.7.What is the best title for the passage?A.A Feathered Family MemberB.Return of a Long Lost FriendC.Reunion of a Goose FamilyD.An Adventurous Journey HomeCThe first set of Chinese stories presented in English scripts (剧本),titled StoriesofChina:PerformedinEnglish,was officially published by Foreign Languages Press.Planned by the New Channel International Education Group with the participation of playwrights from China,the United Kingdom and the United States,the book provides a new way for young people to learn English while inheriting (传承) and spreading Chinese culture.The book contains 20 English scripts in novel formats covering a wide range of subjects.Unlike the most common English scripts for young readers on the market which are based on adaptations of European and American stories,those presented in this book are unique for being based on classic Chinese stories,readapted and written in English.The book is divided into first to third grades in terms of grammar and vocabulary difficulty,making it suitable for young English learners from primary school to junior and high school.All the scripts in the book are written by top playwrights with elegant,pure and vivid language.The scripts are provided with a summary of the story in both Chinese and English,so that readers can fully understand the plot as well as the history and culture behind it.Readers can not only improve their English skills through immersive (沉浸式) reading and performance but also appreciate Chinese culture.Hu Min,English education expert and founder of the New Channel,said the combination of traditional culture and Englishteaching has become a trend,guiding young people to bring their own wisdom and deep cultural heritage to tell Chinese stories to the world.New Channel will offer special courses on StoriesofChina:PerformedinEnglish in its many schools across the country,and cooperate with primary and secondary schools in Beijing,Shanghai to offer English drama courses on a trial basis.Hu believes the courses will set off a new wave of enthusiastic learning among young people.8.Why was StoriesofChina:PerformedinEnglish published?A.To offer English drama courses on a trial basis.B.To make foreign students enjoy Chinese culture.C.To advertise some of the top playwrights in China.D.To improve English learning and the culture heritage.9.What do we know about the book?A.It’s been published by a foreign press.B.It stands out for its unique writing style.C.It introduces classic Chinese stories.D.It’s been popular in various schools.10.What’s Hu Min’s attitude towards the courses to be offered?A.Expectant.B.Doubtful.C.Objective.D.Conservative.11.In which section of a magazine might the text appear?A.Business.B.Lifestyle.C.Culture.D.Politics.DOn paper,hydrogen(H2) looks like a dream fuel.Whilecoal,oil,and natural gas produce carbon dios the earth when burned,hydrogen produces pure water.Hydrogen packs more energy into less space than a battery (but certainly less than petrol).Also,empty tanks(箱) can be refilled with hydrogen much faster than refilling empty batteries with electricity.While in practice,things are trickier.Storing a meaningful amount of hydrogen gas requires pressing it severalhundred-fold.Changing it into the liquid form is another option,but it should be cooled to -253℃.Both processes require a heavy andstrong tank.While a 700 bar tank is acceptable for a city bus or a truck,adapting it for use in small vehicles is very difficult because the pressure during refilling would be too great.The solution?Powerpaste.A German team of researchers,led by Marcus Vogt,have come up with an interesting “powerpaste”,which can store hydrogen energy at atmospheric pressure,ready for release when needed.It is so named because it comes in tubes and looks like toothpaste(牙膏),not in its traditional form of gas.The main ingredient(原料) of the paste is magnesium hydride,a substance that reacts with water to form hydrogen.The escaped hydrogen can then be directed into a fuel cell,where it reacts with o the air to produce electric power.Refueling is very simple,as instead of going to a filling station,drivers and riders can simply replace an empty tube with a new one and refill the water tank.Given that powerpaste only begins to break down at temperatures of around 250℃ it remains safe even when a vehicle stands in the baking sun for hours.However,we will have to be patient.The fact that researchers have succeeded in developing a new fueling way does not mean that we can expect to see such vehicles on the road anytime soon.It will indeed be several years before this concept is turned into reality.12.As a fuel,what is the advantage of hydrogen over oil?A.Refilling empty tanks will be more convenient.B.It is less likely to worsen global warming.C.More energy can be packed in the same space.D.It will produce pure water for people to drink.13.What is Paragraph 2 mainly about?A.The practical difficulties to use hydrogen as a fuel in small vehicles.B.The detailed processes of adapting a strong tank in small vehicles.C.The differences in fueling between large vehicles and small ones.D.The tricks of building strong tanks in small vehicles.14.The author mentions the refueling process to show that powerpaste is .A.inexpensiveB.powerfulC.convenientD.environment-friendly15.Why does the author call on the readers to be patient?A.Powerpaste-driven vehicles sometimes move very slowly on the road.B.Practical use of powerpaste-driven vehicles will not come very soon.C.Powerpaste-driven vehicles can only work after being in the sun for hoursD.It will be years before the researchers work out the concept of powerpaste.Ⅱ.阅读七选五When you imagine the “road to success”,what sort of picture do you see in your

She was very good at the sport and won many competitions. In 1932, Jameson won the Texas competition. Two years later, she won the Southern Championship.Jameson began playing professional golf in 1945. She won many prizes. She finished her career in the Ladies Professional Golf Association with thirteen big victories.That may not seem like many wins compared to women’s golf today.

The organization succeeded in making women’s golf famous as a professional sport.Jameson was accepted into the Hall Fame of Women’s Golf in 1951. But in her late years, she was forced to live a simple life because of little money. Jameson died in 2009 when she was"If mom finds out that I'm going to the beach, I'll be in big trouble."

I saw the ball was only a few feet from me, but I couldn’t get it. I had no more energy. “I should obey Mom,” I thought. Just then, I saw two young men having a boat race.

The head teacher Brian Walker at the West Park School in Derby runs two-hour detention sessions after school on Fridays. He forces his students to listen to Mozart and other classical music. He also makes them copy his favorite poems and they have to watch educational videos. Mr. Walker says his main aim is to stop noisy pupils having a bad effect on lessons for other students who want to study.Brian Walker believes the detention reminds students that education is something to value. He thinks students actually learn from being kept behind after school: "Hopefully, I open their ears to an experience they don't normally have and…don't want to have again, so it's both educational and acts as a deterrent." Music has had success elsewhere in reducing bad behaviour. In 2004, it reduced crime on London’s subway by 25 per cent. Researchers from a Belfast university found it helped stop misbehaving. However, one West Park student called Kieran said: “An hour of Mr. Walker's music is a real killer.”1. Mozart was a bad student at school and was punished a lot. T / F2. A teacher forced students to write poetry and listen to classical music. T / F3. Music on London’s subway system cut crime by a quarter in 2004.

This was my first time to go abroad, so it really made me excited.There were quite a lot of interesting places in England such as Oxford. When we walked around this city, we saw quite a lot of ancient buildings on the two sides of the streets. One of the most famous tourist sights in Oxford is Christ Church. It is one of Oxford University’s 39 colleges.Another place I visited was a place called Stratford-upon-Avon. It was a small town. Maybe you haven’t heard about it, but I’m sure you have heard about William Shakespeare. William Shakespere was born there and he spent his early years there. It was a very old and traditional house. Its sitting room, hallway（走廊）, bedrooms, and kitchen were in 16th-century style. I also went to see the Shakespeare Exhibition. It told us Shakespeare’s life in both Stratford and London in picture s. It included a first edition of Shakespeare’s collected plays and a model of London’s Globe Theatre.I really enjoyed this nice trip to England. From this trip I learnt a lot.

The largest is called the Great Pyramid. It was built by apharaoh Khufu as his tomb. The ancient Egyptians believed that they would have another life after death. To prepare for this life after death, their bodies had to be specially treated. Their organs were taken away and their bodies were dried. These treated bodies are known as mummies.The Great Pyramid took about twenty years to build. It was completed around 2,480 BC. When it was finished, the pyramid was 145.75 metres high. Now, it is about ten metres shorter.As its bottom, the pyramid has four sides. They are 229 metres long each. The structure is made of large blocks of stone—2,300,000 of them! Each of these blocks weighs over 2,000 kilograms. During construction, the workers did not have any special tools to do the work. However, when the work was finished, the stones fitted so tightly together that you could put a playing card between them.People used to think that the Egyptains used slaves to do all the work on the Great Pyramid.

Mona Island is different from most places because people should not live there. Only a few park rangers can stay.The park rangers’ job is to keep Mona Island safe and beautiful.

There are three main types of educational institutions: primary school, secondary school and universities.State schools are free, and attendance is compulsory. More school begains at nine o’clock and lasts until five past four. School opens five days a week.On Saturday and Sundays, there are no lessons. There are holidays at Christmas. Easter and in summer. In London as in all cities there are two grades of states schools for those who will go to work at fifteen: primary schools for boys and girls between the ages of five and eleven, and secondary schools for children from eleven to fifteen.The lessons are reading, writing, the English language, English literature, English history, geography, science, nature study, drawing, painting, singing, woodwork and physical training..Many people now think that teachers give students too much homework. They say that it is unnecessary for children to work at home in their free time. Moreover, they argue that most teachers do not properly plan the homework tasks they give to students. The result is that students have to repeat asks which they have already done at school.Most people agree that homework is unfair. A student who can do his homework in a quiet and comfortable room is in a much better position than a student who does his homework in a small, noisy room with the television on. Some parents help their children with their homework.A teacher should suggest suitable tasks for parents to do with their children. Parents are often better at teaching their own children.Officials from Museums of 16 countries held a meeting in Cairo in April, 2010. They tried to get back their treasures in history.

He said to Dave, “Hi, I’m Miguel,”“Hi,” Dave replied, looking down at the ground.“You guys played great,” Miguel said. “I didn’t think we were going to win.”Dave was surprised. Miguel was not bragging at all. “Thanks for the compliment,” Dave said to Miguel. “You guys played great, too.”Dave felt happy. He was grateful the Miguel had not bragged about his team’s victory.

The cat’s ears were folded, bent forward, on its head. In fact, this was a new kind of cat. People named it the “Scottish Fold (苏格兰折耳猫)”.The Scottish Fold has a round head and large eyes. Its neck and legs are short, which makes it look very cute. Interestingly, all the Scottish Folds are born with straight and unfolded ears. And when they are growing up day by day, some cats’ ears will begin to fold. So, the Scottish Fold comes in two types: folded ears and s traight ears.Besides, there is a nickname for the Scottish Fold. It is the “Messenger o f Peace (和平使者)”. Why? Because the Folds are sweet and friendly animals. They can get along well with other cats. And unlike some other cats, they can even get along well with dogs! In ma ny different environments, such as at a noisy hou se, or in a cat show, you can see them playing with other animals happily.Well, when you come to a new school, do you think it’s difficult to get used to the new environment? Perhaps you can learn from the Scottish Fold. That is: always be sweet and friendly to others.1. The Scottish Fold _______.A. is born with folded earsB. is born with straight earsC. always has folded earsD. always has straight ears2. What does the Scottish Fold look like?A. It has a round head and small eyes.B. Its neck and legs are long.C. It looks very cute.D. It looks very scary.3. Why are the Scottish Folds named the “Messengers of Peace”?A. Because their ears are folded.B. Because they look very cute.C. Because they can get on well with other animals.D. Because they can stay at a noisy house or in a cat show.4. According to the passage, what is the writer’s suggestion to u s when we are in a new environment?A. We should have a nickname.B. We should learn from the cats.C. We should get along well with dogs.D. We should always be sweet and friendly to others.5. Which is the best title for the passage?A. Scottish FoldB. CatsC. Cats and DogsD. Messenger of PeaceBThere are many colors in nature. But do you think that a color has weight? I think you'll say “no”. But I'm afraid you are wrong. If you don't believe it, you may do a small experiment．First, put two objects with the same weight into two boxes. Then cover the boxes. Third, wrap(包裹) one box with a red piece of paper, the other one with a white piece of paper. OK. Now hold the boxes with your hand one by one. It is certain that you will think the red one is a little heavier.Why do you think so? A scientist found that different colors have different weights in man's mind. That is to say, every color has its own weight in our mind.The scientist told us that colors also have smell. Can you smell the color? Of course not. Then why did the scientist say so? That is because every color stands for a kind of light with a certain wavelength. It reaches our brain through sense organs．According to this discovery, scientists say that people accept the colors they like, and refuse the colors they hate. So your body and mind will be healthy by using the colors you like. Or you'll be nervous or even get ill. For example, you like blue and hate red. If you stay in a room with red windows, wallpaper and furniture for two hours, you'll feel you have been there for four hours. But if the room is blue, you'll feel you have been there for only an hour. And, if a person walks out of a blue room and into a red room, his temperature will rise. That means our body temperature will change with different colors.6．From the experiment, we know that .A．the two boxes have the same weightB．colors can change the weight of an objectC．the red paper is heavier than the white paperD．colors have different weights in people's mind7．From the fourth paragraph, we can infer ．A．the smell of colors is changeableB．people can sense the light from colorsC．people can smell the colors through the noseD．all the colors have the same smell for the blind8．Which of the following is TRUE?A．White color is heavier than red color.B．People may get ill if they refuse the colors they don't like.C．People can stay longer in red rooms than in blue rooms.D．People's body temperature will change with different colors.9．We can infer from the last paragraph that ．A．red color is bad for our healthB．people may get nervous in a red roomC．blue color can raise our body temperatureD．colors can influence our mood and health10．The passage is probably .A．a short novel B．a news reportC．a science report D．an advertisementCAre some people born clever, and others born stupid? Or is intelligence（智力）developed by our environment and our experience? Strangely enough, the answer to these questions is yes. In some degree, our intelligence is given to us at birth, and no education can make a talent out of a child born with low intelligence. On the other hand, a child who lives in a boring environment will develop his intelligence less than one who lives in rich environment. Therefore, the limits（极限）of person’s intelligence are fixed at birth, whether or not he reaches those limits will depend on his environment. This point of view, now is held by most experts.It is easy to show that intelligence is something that we are born with. The closer the blood relationship between two people, the closer they are likely to be intelligence. If we take two strangers by chance from the population, it seems that their degree of intelligence will becompletely different. If, on the other hand, we compare two twins, they will very likely be asintelligent as each other. Relations like brothers and sisters, parents and children, usually havesimilar intelligence, and this clearly suggests t hat intelligence depends on birth.Imagine now that we take two twins and put them in different environments. We might send one, for example, to a university and the other to a factory separately where the work is boring.We would soon find differences in intelligence developing, and this shows that environment as well as birth plays an important role. This conclusion （结论）is also suggested by the fact that people who live in close contact（接触）with each other, but who are not related at all are likely to have similar degree of intelligence.11. How is man’s intelligence given ?A. At birth.B. Through education.C. Both at birth and through education.D. Neither at birth nor through education.12. What does the underlined word “fixed”mean in the first paragraph?A. 确定B. 修理C. 发展D. 安排13. According the passage, if a child is born with low intelligence, what might happen to him later?A. Become a genius.B. Still become a genius if he should be given special education.C. Reach his intelligence limits in rich environment.D. Never reach his intelligence in his life.14. What can we learn from the example of the twins going to a university and to a factory?A. The importance of their intelligence.B. The role of environment on intelligence.C. The importance of their jobs.D. The part that birth plays.15. What statement is TRUE according to the passage?A. No education can help make a genius.B. Personality is important as intelligence which was given to people at birth.C. People who have similar degree of intelligence must be relatives.D. Environment influences people in intelligence developing.四．七选五Have you ever been bored and decided to check social media, only to find out that your best friend is at Disneyland, that one of your classmates is eating delicious pizza at your favorite pizza store, and that one of your soccer teammates is climbing the Eiffel Tower in Paris? Have you ever had that feeling that others are experiencing things and enjoy ing life more than you are? Oh, man! You’re missing out! 1.__________ Researchers call that feeling the fear of missing out or FOMO (Fear of Missing Out).Over 75% of young people report feeling FOMO from time to time.2._________ Unluckily, we only have so much time in the day and only so much money to spend on food or entertainment. It would be impossible for us to enjoy all the same activities we see others take part in on social media.Rather than realizing this basic truth, though, we usually let FOMO lead us to compare our lives with those of others on social media. This certainly leaves us feeling dissatisfied. Why? We know all the sides of our lives--both good and bad. 3.____________4.______________ FOMO makes us check social media more frequently, leading toaddiction and a negative(消极的）cycle that can be hard to break. Researchers have found that social media and FOMO can cause serious negative results, including feeling of depression, loneliness and boredom.So how do we break the cycle and avoid FOMO? 5._______ Instead, we should focus our attention on our real lives, including the people around us and all the things we’re grateful for.A. Have you ever experienced FOMO?B. At least that’s what you might think.C. As famous Theodore Roosev elt said, “Comparison (比较）is the thief of joy.”D. Researchers advise that we stop looking to social media for happiness.E. It’s so easy today to see what your friends are doi ng from the social media.F. But all we see on social media are the picture-perfect moments others share.G.If you let FO MO control you, the only thing you’ll really be missing out on is your own life.五．书面表达幸福是什么？幸福是父母为你营造的温馨的家，幸福是老师望向你时赞许的目光，幸福是孤独时朋友送来的一杯奶茶，幸福是……，请以“My Happiness”为题，写一件曾经发生过的令你感到幸福的事情，并谈谈你的感想。

But she was moving from a house with a little garden so her son would have space to play. The distance was probably too short to call a removal company（搬家公司）, but it was long enough to make carrying all the stuff a real pain.But we didn't have to. A neighbor offered the use of her truck. She drove it up to my daughter's front door, and then went home while we loaded it up. Then she came out, drove it to the new house and walked back home for a cup of tea while we unloaded. Then she did it again and again.We decided to thank her, but she didn’t want anything from us. My daughter got her some flowers later as a “thank you”.Before I left, I stopped by the woman's house, just to thank her for being such a help to my daughter, as she really didn’t have to help. It's not like they were such close friends or anything “It’s what neighbors should do,” she said.“It’s what neighbors used to do,” I said.“Well, let’s bring it back then,” she smiled. I thought she was right. Neighbors often helped each other in the past, but now we don’t do that so often as we did before.“Let’s bring it back,” I said sincerely in my heart.It’s good to have neighbors like her.( )1.

Perhaps your child loves art, and you want to encourage that interest, but you just don’t know where to begin. Maybe you’re ready to start drawing, too. Then this website is for you.At Art Made Easy, I’ll take through what you need to know to help your children create their own works of art.I’ll also tell you what you need to buy to get them started, and provide you with prices soyou’ll know what to expect before you go to the store. You’ll find free lessons to try with them, and along the way, I’ll explain all kinds of art terms to you.How old should a child be before starting art? As a Mom and an art teacher, I’ve found that any age is a great age to begin creating. My son was drawing little circle when he was just one old, and my grandma didn’t begin her painting career until she was in her seventies! The complexity of the art work will change according to the age of the artist, of course, but a face composed of a circle and two big eyes by a child can be as much of an achievement as a fine oil painting by an adult.Drawing may not come naturally, but it’s a skill that can be learned. The tips and lessons on this site are meant to be studied and tried together with your child! Remember, as with anything new that you learn to do, you improve with practice.

Like the planets, they go around the sun.But comets are not made of solid rock like planets. A comet is a ball of dust, stones, and ice. Many people call comets dirty snowballs.The “snowball” may be only a few miles across. But when the sun heats the “snowball,” much of it is changed to gases. The gases expand and form the comet’s head, which may be thousands of miles across.A comet moves fast in its trip around the sun. But when we see it, the comet does not seem to move. That’s because it is so far away. The moon moves fast, but when you look at it, you can’t see any motion. That’s because the moon is far away.So comets do not streak across the sky. You cannot see any motion. But if you look night after night, you can see that a comet changes position among the stars. If you watch the moon night after night, you’ll see that it also changes position.Each year astronomers discover new comets. Some of them are seen only once. They make one trip around the sun and then go way out into space. The sun’s gravity cannot hold them.Other comets, like Halley, keep returning. They have been captured by the sun. Halley’s earliest visit was probably 3,000 years ago. It may keep returning for another 3,000 years.But every time a comet goes around the sun, the comet loses part of itself. Gases and dust are pulled out of the comet. That’s why Halley is now dimmer than it used to be. Next time it visits us, in 2062, it may be even dimmer. Each visit it may get dimmer and dimmer, until it finally disappears.( )1. What is this passage mostly about?A. Comets and the sun.B. Why comets are like snowballs.C. Who discovered the first comet.D. Facts about comets.( )2. According to the passage, what does a comet travel around?A. The sun.B. The moon.C. Other comets.D. other planets( )3. Why do comets look as if they are motionless when we see them?A. They are very small.B. They are very far away.C. They move very slowly.D. They move only at night.( )4. How does the author help the reader understand what a comet looks like?A. By telling about a famous one.B. By explaining how far away it is.C. By describing how fast it moves.D. By describing it as a dirty snowball.( )5. What is the most likely reason the author wrote this passage?A. To give information about comets.B. To tell readers about famous comets.C. To explain the importance of comets.D. To convince readers to look for comets.Long ago all of people thought the moon was a god. Other people thought it was just a light in the s1 . And others thought it was a big ball of cheese! Then telescope was made. And men s 2 that the moon was really another world. They wondered what it was like. They dreamed of going there.On July 20th, 1969, that dream came t 3 . Two American men landed on the moon. T 4 names were Neil Armstrong and Edwin Aldrin. The first thing the men found was that the moon is covered with dust. The dust is so thick t 5 the men left footprints where they walked. Those were the fist mark a living thing had ever made on the moon.The two men walked on the moon f 6 hours. They picked rocks to bring back to e 7 for study. They dug up dirt to bring back. They set up machines to find out things people wanted to know. Then they climb b 8 into their moon landing craft. Next day the landing craft roared as the two men took off from the moon. They joined Michael Collins in the spaceship that w 9 for them above the moon. Then they were off on their long trip back to earth. B 10 them they left the plains and tall mountains of the moon. They left the machines they had set up. And they left footprints that may last forever.1. sky2. saw3. true4. their5. that6. for7. earth8. back9. waited 10.BehindRead Allen's diary and answer the questions( )1. What does “PTA Day” mean?A.

Doctors advised his mother Bian to play music for him and encourage him to exercise. When Xiao Bao was about 1 year old, Bian found he liked moving his body to music, even to the songs of cellphones. When Xiao Bao was 2 years old, Bian took him to the “Baby Show”, a popular TV programme in Hebei Province where they lived. Xiao Bao performed well. The choreographer advised Bian to take him to take dancing courses. So Bian quit her job and took Xiao Bao to a dancing class in Beijing. Xiao Bao learned street dance there.

But she was moving from a house with a little garden so her son would have space to play. The distance was probably too short to call a removal company（搬家公司）, but it was long enough to make carrying all the stuff a real pain.But we didn't have to. A neighbor offered the use of her truck. She drove it up to my daughter's front door, and then went home while we loaded it up. Then she came out, drove it to the new house and walked back home for a cup of tea while we unloaded. Then she did it again and again.We decided to thank her, but she didn’t want anything from us. My daughter got her some flowers later as a “thank you”.Before I left, I stopped by the woman's house, just to thank her for being such a help to my daughter, as she really didn’t have to help. It's not like they were such close friends or anything “It’s what neighbors should do,” she said.“It’s what neighbors used to do,” I said.“Well, let’s bring it back then,” she smiled. I thought she was right. Neighbors often helped each other in the past, but now we don’t do that so often as we did before.“Let’s bring it back,” I said sincerely in my heart.It’s good to have neighbors like her.( )1.

Perhaps your child loves art, and you want to encourage that interest, but you just don’t know where to begin. Maybe you’re ready to start drawing, too. Then this website is for you.At Art Made Easy, I’ll take through what you need to know to help your children create theirown works of art.I’ll also tell you what you need to buy to get them started, and provide you with prices so you’ll know what to expect before you go to the store. You’ll find free lessons to try with them, and along the way, I’ll explain all kinds of art terms to you.How old should a child be before starting art? As a Mom and an art teacher, I’ve found that any age is a great age to begin creating. My son was drawing little circle when he was just one old, and my grandma didn’t begin her painting career until she was in her seventies! The complexity of the art work will change according to the age of the artist, of course, but a face composed of a circle and two big eyes by a child can be as much of an achievement as a fine oil painting by an adult.Drawing may not come naturally, but it’s a skill that can be learned. The tips and lessons on this site are meant to be studied and tried together with your child! Remember, as with anything new that you learn to do, you improve with practice.

Like the planets, they go around the sun.But comets are not made of solid rock like planets. A comet is a ball of dust, stones, and ice. Many people call comets dirty snowballs.The “snowball” may be only a few miles across. But when the sun heats the “snowball,” much of it is changed to gases. The gases expand and form the comet’s head, which may be thousands of miles across.A comet moves fast in its trip around the sun. But when we see it, the comet does not seem to move. That’s because it is so far away. The moon moves fast, but when you look at it, you can’t see any motion. That’s because the moon is far away.So comets do not streak across the sky. You cannot see any motion. But if you look night after night, you can see that a comet changes position among the stars. If you watch the moon night after n ight, you’ll see that it also changes position.Each year astronomers discover new comets. Some of them are seen only once. They make one trip around the sun and then go way out into space. The sun’s gravity cannot hold them.Other comets, like Halley, keep returning. They have been captured by the sun. Halley’s earliest visit was probably 3,000 years ago. It may keep returning for another 3,000 years.But every time a comet goes around the sun, the comet loses part of itself. Gases and dust are pulled out of the comet. That’s why Halley is now dimmer than it used to be. Next time it visits us, in 2062, it may be even dimmer. Each visit it may get dimmer and dimmer, until it finally disappears.( )1. What is this passage mostly about?A. Comets and the sun.B. Why comets are like snowballs.C. Who discovered the first comet.D. Facts about comets.( )2. According to the passage, what does a comet travel around?A. The sun.B. The moon.C. Other comets.D. other planets( )3. Why do comets look as if they are motionless when we see them?A. They are very small.B. They are very far away.C. They move very slowly.D. They move only at night.( )4. How does the author help the reader understand what a comet looks like?A. By telling about a famous one.B. By explaining how far away it is.C. By describing how fast it moves.D. By describing it as a dirty snowball.( )5. What is the most likely reason the author wrote this passage?A. To give information about comets.B. To tell readers about famous comets.C. To explain the importance of comets.D. To convince readers to look for comets.Long ago all of people thought the moon was a god. Other people thought it was just a light in the s1 .

2020年人教版新目标英语中考阅读理解、完形填空试题及答案4A submarine is a fascinating form of underwater transportation. This huge piece of metal moves quietly through the water. Most of the submarines in the water today are commanded by the military. However, one small submarine is owned by an English inventor named Robert Leeds. His submarine is considered the world’s first used just for entertainment.Leed’s submarine can carry two people. It is able to dive down to 150 feet and stay underwater for up to four days. This unique submarine named Gemini can remain still in the water or move up and down like a helicopter. Because of its small size, Leed’s compares his invention to an underwater sports car.“T he oceans are the last place on Earth where there are no personal vehicles,” says Leeds. Ever since I was 14, I have wanted to build one.”Leeds revealed his invention at London’s Science Museum in the fall of 2003. Gemini was displayed in one of the museum’s galleries. This location is often used for showing futuristic inventions.The cost of building Gemini was $850,000. Therefore, it is not likely to be produced in large numbers. But some people believe that it could be used for more than just underwater entertainment. A small personal submarine may be helpful in filming science shows, searching underwater areas, or inspecting pipelines. Leed’s company is offering to build submarines for individual buyers..No matter how the submarines are used, Leeds may be on the way to making history. “The oceans are still the great unknown in our doorsteps”, Insists the inventor. “Twelve men have walked on the moon, but only two have been to the bottom of the sea! Perhaps the invention of Gemini will change this statistic.”( )1. What does the underlined word “military” in the first paragraph mean?A. 空间B. 陆军C. 海军D. 炮兵( )2.

It visits 145 flowers in order to collect the amount of just one teaspoon of honey. For a pound of honey, the honeybee flies the distance equal to three times around the world and makes visits to about two million flowers.There are over 250 types of honey in the United States alone. Generally, the lighter the color of the honey, the higher the quality. Very high grade honeys come from, orange blossoms and alfalfa.Bears love honey as much as humans do. The diet of some birds, such as the hummingbird of the Americas, is almost entirely honey.

Later, Berto and Taj joined a soccer game. Sports looked like fun Taj played, but his mind and body didn’t work well together. The harder he tried, the worse he played.Before noon, Berto met other students. Some of them spoke Spanish. “Oh, well,” Taj thought. “Berto has found friends who speak the same language as he does.”At lunch, Taj sat with some friends. He opened his lunch sack and took out the samosas. They were n’t warm anymore, but they were still good. Taj bit into a tasty samosas.Taj saw Berto walking toward him. He came and sat right next to Taj. Berto pointed to Taj’s lunch. “What’s that?” he asked.“Oh, no. He’s going to make fun of my lunch,” Taj thought.Then Berto took something from a brown bag. It looked like a samosas. “See? I have one too! Mine’s an empanada. It is spicy inside!”Berto smiled at the other students at the table. He said, “Taj is a great guy!

Others compete. Rock climbing can be dangerous. But there are many ways to keep a climber’s safety. Climbing takes strength, control and good balance. Climbers have to pull themselves straight up. So they have to be strong enough to carry their own weight. And climbers sometimes have to hold on to rocks by only their fingers or toes.There are four kinds of rock climbing. Traditional rock climbing is done outside. Climbers wear ropes as they climb. If a climber slips, a rope can stop him from falling. There is also indoor climbing. Rock walls have places for the climber's hands and feet. Ice climbing is exactly as it sounds. People climb glaciers or frozen waterfalls instead of rocks. They use special equipment for the ice. And then there is bouldering—climbing rocks between three and seven meters high. It is a quick climbing. Many climbers like bouldering because they can use less equipment. Climbers often need only special shoes and chalk. All climbers use chalk to keep their hands dry.Most rocks have holes. Climbers use these for footholds and handholds.

2019中考英语阅读理解选习题（4）及答案Passage A（2019中考教育类选练）Escaping (逃) from a fire is a serious matter. Knowing what to do during a fire can save your life. It is important to know the ways you can use and show them to everyone in the family, for example, you can use stairways, roofs and fire escapes, but no lifts. From the lower floors of buildings, to escape through windows is possible. The second floor window is usually not very high from the ground. It is safer to jump a short way than to stay in a burning building. Windows are also useful while you are waiting for help. Be sure to keep the door closed, before opening the window. Otherwise, smoke and fire may be drawn into the room. Keep your head low next to the window to be sure you get fresh air.Here are some tips on how to stay safe in earthquakes. Stay inside and duck and cover. Get under a desk or table, or stand in a corner or under a doorway. Cover your head and neck with your arms. Stay in your seat if in a cinema or a theater. Get below the level of the back of the sea and cover your head and neck with your arms. Try to stay away from kitchens, where there are often many objects that might fall or get hurt.It is necessary for all to keep the traffic rules in mind and obey them strictly. When one crosses the street, he should take the crosswalk , underground passage or pedestrian overpass. Keep riding on the right side of the road. When the red light is on, please stop and wait until the green light is on. It is important to let the children know that playing on the road is very dangerous. Helping the aged and children cross the road is always a kind deed. If everyone obeys the traffic rules, it will be much safer to walk or ride on the road.( ) 1.

It would be hard to find a person who is neutral (中立的),or simply doesn’t care one way or the other. What I wonder is why something even without legs causes such greatfear.Snakes are quite useful, but that doesn’t seem to matter. Snakes help control the population of mice. Without snakes, perhaps we would find mice everywhere. Most of us, however, would rather see a mouse than a snake.The poison argument (毒性的争论) is a strong one. Some snakes are poisonous, and this causes people’s death. However, the poisonous snakes are only a small number. We can’t say all the snakes are bad just because of a few dangerous ones.And what do we do with the people who really like snakes? They like snakes even more strongly than we dislike them. These people learn about them, find them out, and watch them carefully. Why? The only reason I can think of is that these people are open-minded. They are able to put aside differences and welcome the snake as a friend.Whatever the reason for our like or dislike, snakes do something good in the circle of life. They would prefer to be left alone, and that is what we should do. If you’re lucky, you might not run across more than a few of them in a lifetime. That would be fine with most of us.【小题1】How does the writer describe the appearance of snakes?A．Something even without legs.B．Something not popular among people.C．A person who is neutral.D．A person who cares about nothing.【小题2】Which of the following shows that most people dislike snakes?A．They welcome snakes as their best friends.B．They would rather see a mouse than a snake.C．They wonder why snakes can cause great fear.D．They learn about snakes and watch them carefully.【小题3】Although some snakes are poisonous, ______.A．they cause many people’s deathB．they control the population of miceC．they are not dangerous to peopleD．they are only a small number【小题4】People who really like snakes are open-mindedbecause they ______. A．are able to put aside differencesB．think all the snakes are poisonousC．are able to deal with poisonous snakesD．take part in the poison argument【小题5】The last paragraph seems to tell us that the writer ______.A．dislikes snakesB．has the best luckC．loves snakes D．prefers to be left alonePassage CMany people go to school for an education. They learn languages, history, politics, geography, physics, chemistry and mathematics. Others go to school to learn a skill so that they can make a living. School education is very important and useful. Yet, no one can learn everything from school. A teacher, no matter how much he knows, can not teach his students everything they want to know. The teacher’s job is to show his students how to learn. He teaches them how to read and how to think. So, much more is to be learned outside school by the students themselves.It is always more important to know how to study by oneself than to memorize some facts or a formula. It is actually quite easy to learn a certain fact in history or a formula in mathematics. But it is very difficult to use a formula in working out a math problem. Great scientists before us didn’t get everything from school. Their teachers only showed them the way. Edison didn’t even finish primary school. But they were all so successful. They invented so many things for mankind. The reason for their success is that they knew how to study. They read books that were not taught at school. They would ask many questions as they read. They did thousands of experiments. They worked hard all their lives, wasting not a single moment. Above all, they knew how to use their brain.1. People go to school to _________.A. learn several subjectsB. make a livingC. get an educationD. learn from teachers2. According to the passage, the most important thing a teacher should do is _________.A. to teacher his students everything he knowsB. to know everythingC. to teach the students how to thinkD. to teach the students how to study by themselves3. To work out a math problem, you need to know _________.A. only a certain formulaB. more than one formulaC. some factsD. the method to solve it4. Why were many scientists so successful?A. They received good education.B. They were very clever.C. They knew how to learn.D. They learned lots of facts and formulas.5. How did great scientists study?A. They read a lot of books and asked many questions while reading.B. They did thousands of experiments.C. They always worked hard and never wasted time.D. All of the above.参考答案1－5 CDDCDPassage D（2019中考保健与健康类选练）Cola isn’t good for our health. Cola is sw eet, because it has sugar in it. Too much sugar can make you get fat. Drinking one bottle of cola each day can make you get fifteen pounds(磅)each year.And because the sugar in cola can make you feel full,you should eat much healthy food,such as fruit,vegetables and rice.And cola is bad for your teeth and bones(骨头).Drink water,please.Water is very important to our body.It keeps us healthy.We get。

Some of the things you see give off light of their own. The sun, the stars, a lighted lamp are examplesthat can be seen by their own light. Such things are luminous. Most of the things you see are not giving off light of their own. They are simply reflecting light that falls on them from the sun or some other luminous bodies. The moon, for example, does not give off any light of its own. It isnon-luminous. You see it because sunlight falls on it and some of it reflects in our direction. So moon light is only second hand sunlight.When you look at a book, it sends to your eyes some of the light which falls on it, and you see the book. If light could be kept out from where you are so that there would be no light for the book to reflect, then you could not see the book even with your eyes wide open.Light travels so fast that the time in which it travels from the book you are reading to your eyes is so short as if there were no time at all. Light reaches us from the moon, which isabout 380 000 kilometers away, in only a little more than a second.1. You can see the book because_______.A. your eyes are close to itB. it reflects some of the sunlightC. it has light of its ownD. your eyesight can get to it2.

One day,under the leadof their king, the doves flew away to look for food. The smallest dove found some rice under a tree. So all the doves came down and began to eat.Suddenly a net fell over them and soon they were all in it. Then a man came. The doves tried to get out of the net, but they couldn't. The oldest dove had an idea. He advised all the doves to fly up together carrying the net with them. He said if they worked together, they would be successful.The other doves did so and together they flew off carrying the net with them. The man was shocked. He tried to follow them, but they were flying high. The doves then flew to a hill because there lived a mouse and they thought he could help them. He was a good friend of the dove king.When they arrived, the dove king told the mouse what had happened and asked him to set them free. The mouse said that he would set the dove king free first. But the king asked him to free his subjects(臣民) first and he was the last one to come out.The doves all thanked the mouse and flew away together. They smiled and felt closer to each other.11.Where did the doves find food? ( )A.On a tree.B.Under a tree.C.In a net.D.By a lake.12.The doves flew to the hill to .

( )A.the smallest doveB.the oldest doveC.the dove kingD.the mousePassage 2Many everyday American expressions are based on colors.Red is a hot color. Americans often use it to express heat. When they are red-hot, they are very angry about something. Fast loud music is popular with many people. They may say such music is red-hot.Pink is a lighter kind of red. People sometimes say they are in the pink when they are in good health. The expression was first used in America at the beginning of the 20th century. It probably comes from the fact that many babies are born with a nice pink color that shows that they are in good health.Blue is a cool color. The blues music in the United States is the opposite of red-hot music. Blues is slow and sad. Someone who is blue is very sad.The color green is natural for trees and grass. But it is an unnatural color for people. A person who has a sick feeling in the stomach may say he feels a little green. A passenger on a boat who is feeling very sick from high waves may look very green. Sometimes a person may be upset because he does not have something as nice as a friend has, like a fast new car.

This happens a lot, especially when we eat out. Once a dish comes, instead of lifting our chopsticks, we take out our mobiles and click. Later, we post the photos onto Weibo or WeChat, waiting to be“liked”. Then we check our mobiles from time to time during the meal, to see w hether we get “liked” or not. We just cannot leave our mobiles for only a meal.Does that sound familiar to you? Do you do that often? If not, how do you feel when others do that when having dinner with you?A recent study suggests that what we are used to doing is not so good. Spending time taking photos of food makes the food less pleasant. To test this, some researchers did an experiment. Some people were asked to take photos before they could enjoy food. As a result, it showed that the more photos they took, the less delicious the food seemed to them. So, why not stop taking photos and just enjoy the food in front of you?Besides the scientific result, there are also some other bad influences of taking photos of food before meals. After posting the photos onto the Internet, one will not be able to control himself and check his mobile many times. “Does everyone like my photos? I hope a lot of people like them!” It seems that your mobile secretly calls your name all the time, even when you are with real people.So, next time you go out to have dinner with your family or friends, how about not taking photos of food?20.Why do we often take photos once a dish comes?(不超过15个词)21.What did the experiment show according to the passage?(不超过15个词)22.What does the writer want to tell us?(不超过20个词)【参考答案】Ⅰ.1—5 ABCAD 6—10 CBDBDⅡ.Passage 111—14 BDACPassage 2 15—19 CBDDAⅢ.20.Because we post the photos onto Weibo or WeChat, waiting to be “liked”.21.The more photos we took, the less delicious the food seemed to us.22.Don't take photos of food while having dinner with your family or friends at restaurants.。

超级资源（共70套107页）人教新目标版2020年中考英语阅读理解精品练习汇总2020中考英语一轮阅读理解普练（1）及答案Passage A（2020中考日常生活类训练）Dear Sunday Globe,I am writing to tell you about your article Smartphones Make Life Easier in lastSunday’s newspaper. You did an excellent job explaining the g ood points of smartphones, but you didn’t talk about their bad points at all. So, I hope you’lllet me give your readers some advice on smartphone etiquette (礼仪). The first point I’d like to address is loudness. When you talk on your smartphone in public, please don’t shout. In fact, the microphones in smartphones are very sensitive (灵敏的). So, you can be heard even if you speak quietly.Another point is about personal space. I don’t think it is polite to make calls in small spaces full of people. This makes others uncomfortable and forces them to listen to your personal business. What’s worse, it stops many face-to-face conversations from ever beginning.Lastly, doing two things at the same time is dangerous. For example, making calls while driving is a bad habit. Pay attention to the road! Similarly, when staying with your friends, turn off your smartphone and enjoy their company.Yours truly,Amber Jala1. Amber Jala wrote the letter to ________ .A. find a good jobB. provide adviceC. make her life easierD. buy a smartphone2. What does the underlined word “address” in Paragraph 2 probably mean?A. 致函B. 称呼C. 陈述D. 选址3. According to Paragraph 3, what makes people around you uncomfortable?A. Discussing face-to-face.B. Speaking quietly on your phone.C. Minding your own business.D. Calling in small spaces full of people.4. What can we learn from the last paragraph?A. It is dangerous to drive on the road.B. It is easy to start a company with others.C. It is bad to turn off our phones while driving.D. It is important to use our smartphones properly.参考答案1B 2C 3D 4DPassage B2016中考英语阅读理解分类练习：广告布告类1、Sunny English ClubFor students16:00 – 18:00 Every Saturday200 Yuan a month9 Zhou Yu StreetTel: 3785290Foreign teachers, English songs and films and more!Ocean Museum9:00—17:00 From Thursday to SundayTicket: 50 yuan132 Xue Yuan StreetTel: 5439871Show you a full picture of sea lives!Health Centre9:00—17:3016 Yong Le StreetTel: 3801451Free examinations for those over 70Give you good advice to keep healthy!【小题1】 You will pay ________ if you want to stay in the English club for half a year.A．￥300 B．￥600 C．￥1200 D．￥2400【小题2】 You can visit Ocean Museum ________.A．on Saturday B．on WednesdayC．on Monday D．any time【小题3】One can get free exams in Health Centre if he is ________.A．9 B．17 C．67 D．73Passage C阅读理解的测试点是在通过由于阅读所能够获取信息的能力上，所以解题思路的重点应放在：(1)People sometimes change their way of doing business In a village in Africa， peopleare using money for the first time They're doing business with the world Before this tribe (部落) used money， people came to the market in the village to trade(交易) things they had for things they needed Now people must use money to buy what they want Before using money， people helped one another Their father who was head of the family， gave food， and clothing to his sons and their familiesIn return， the sons worked for their father Now people no longer work forone another free Instead， they are paid for the work they do When a new road was needed.

2019年中考英语阅读理解习题选（4）及答案【实战训练】 A（2019中考选练）What are you going to do if you are in a burning house? How will you escape? Do you know how to save yourself? Please read the following passage.Escaping a fire is a serious matter. Knowing what to do during a fire can save your life. It is important to know the ways you can use and show them to everyone in the family, such as stairways and fire escapes, but not lifts.From the lower floors of the buildings, escaping through windows is possible, learn the best way of leaving by windows with the least chance of serious injury.The second floor window is usually not very high from the ground. An average(平均高度的) person, hanging by the finger-tips will have a drop of about six feet to the ground. It is about the height of an average man. Of course, it is safer to jump a short way than to stay in a burning building.Windows are also useful when you are waiting for help. Be sure to keep the door closed. Or smoke and fire may be drawn into the room. Keep your head low at the window to be sure you get fresh air rather than smoke that may leaked(渗) into the room.On a second or third floor, the best windows for escape are those that open onto a roof. From the roof a person can drop to the ground more safely. Dropping onto cement(水泥) might end in injury. Bushes and grass can help to break a fall.( )1.

They are both places with very cold temperatures and few people live there. However, the North and South Poles are not much alike as people may imagine.The North Pole has no land, only thick ice. Temperatures seldom go above 32°F, at which water turns into ice. Most of the time, it stays below zero. In winter temperatures are usually as low as -30°F.Although conditions were very poor, people tried for many centuries to reach the North Pole. About 100 years ago, two men, Robert Peary and Mathew Henson, were able to get to this environment full of troubles and difficulties. They reached the North Pole on March8th, 1909. It was really a hard trip for them.There are few things more dangerous than crossing the Arctic(北极圈) on foot. People who stayed there may face many problems: very cold temperatures, sudden storms, and even hunger. Most of the area is uninhabited. Few people can live in such a difficult place.People might think that with such low temperatures for most of the year, the ice would be thick and hard. However, this is not true in the Arctic. The movement of the ocean water under the ice may often cause many different changes on the surface. Sometimes the ice breaks into two opening lanes of water(水道) called “leads”. Anyone who falls into a lead can be frozen to death in a few minutes.1．This passage is probably from ___________.A． a book review B． a science bookC． a school report D． a computer magazine2．According to the passage, what happened about 100 years ago ?A． Two men succeeded in getting to the North Pole.B．Temperatures in the North Pole went above 32°F.C． The environment in the North Pole suddenly became worse.D． The North Pole changed into thick ice because of the temperatures.3．What does the underlined word “uninhabited” probably mean in Chinese?A．气候恶劣的 B．充满危险的 C．困难重重的 D．无人居住的4．The reason for the ice to break into two opening lanes of water is _____________. A． that the temperature suddenly drops B． that the water under the ice is frozen C． that the ocean water under the ice moves D． that the surface is covered with lots of ice5．What does this passage mainly talk about?A． The thick ice in the North Pole.B． A difficult trip to the North Pole.C． The real situation in the North Pole.D． The differences between the North Pole and the South Pole.【解析】试题分析：本文是一篇科普文，介绍了北极点的有关情况。
