In the late afternoon the sky will be sunny, the sun will begin to shine, and it will be summer at this time of a day.In England, people can also have summer in winter, or have winter in summer.

The lists on them tell you they are helpful to your health. Sounds great!But after a careful check you may find that most energy drinks have lots of caffeine (咖啡因) in them. These drinks are especially aimed at young people, students, busy people and sports players. Makers sometimes say their drinks make you better at sports and can keep you awake. But be careful not to drink too much.Caffeine makes your heart beat fast. Because of this, the International Olympic Committee has limited( 限制) its use. Caffeine in most energy drinks is at least as strong as thatin a cup of coffee or tea. Possible health dangers have something to do with energy drinks.

These fears were very real and caused me some uncomfortable moments.Maybe it was the strange way things looked and sounded in my own room at night that scared me so much. There was never complete darkness, but always a streetlight or passing car lights, which made clothes on the back of a chair take on the shape of a wild animal. Out of the corner of my eye, I saw the curtains(窗帘) seem to move when there was no wind. A very low sound in the floor would seem a hundred times louder than in the day. My imagination(想象) would run wild, and my heart would beat fast. I would lie very still so that the "enemy(敌人) " would not discover me.Another of my childhood fears was that I would get lost, especially on the way home from school. Every morning I got on the school bus right near my home. That was no problem. After school, though, when all the buses were lined up along the street, I was afraid that I would get in the wrong one and be taken to some other strange places. On school or family trips to a park or a museum, I wouldn't let the leaders out of my sight.Perhaps one of the worst fears of all I had as a child was that of not being liked or accepted by others. Being popular was so important to me then, and the fear of not being liked was a serious one.One of the processes(过程) growing up is being able to realize and overcome our fears. Understanding the things that scared us as children helps us achieve greater success later in life.( )11.

But what is health? “Health” means eating well, getting enough exercise, and having a healthy weight. Let’s read the following rules. They can help you stay healthy.(1). Eat a variety of food, especially fruit and vegetables. We all know that eating fruit and vegetables can help us stay healthy, but many of us only eat our favorite food. Remember that we can only get the nutrition (营养) we need by eating different kinds of food, especially fruit and vegetables.(2). Drink water and milk most often. Everyone knows that water is important. Besides that, kids need plenty of calcium (钙) to grow strong bones, and milk is rich in it. Every day, you should drink at least three cups of milk, when you are 9 years old or older. You should also try to have less sugary drinks, like soda and coca. They include a lot of sugar. Sugar only includes calories (热量), not important nutrition.(3). Listen to your body. When you are eating, notice how your body feels. When your stomach feels comfortably full, stop eating. Eating too much makes you feel uncomfortable. If you do it too often, it can make you unhealthy and fat.(4). Limit screen time. What’s screen time? It’s the amount of time you spend watching TV, movies and playing computer games. The more time you spend on these sitting-down activities, the less time you spend playing sports, like basketball, and doing other activities like riding and swimming.

It is just an idea, though it may be based on work in science which you have done before.The aim of your investigation is to test your idea.·Decide what variables(变量) you are dealing with.Things like temperature, size, weight, and colour are called variables.Variables are things you can measure(测量).In your investigation, you have to decide what the variables are, which ones you will keep fixed, and which you will change.You need to change just one variable at a time.If lots of variables change at once, it won't be a good test.·Decide what equipment you need, and in what order you will do things.·Prepare tables for your results.2.Getting your evidence(证据)·Make your measurements, and record your results.3.Reaching the conclusions·Look for patterns in your results.·Present your conclusions.What links (关联) did you find between any of the variables?

After all, there wasn't much to do in those days after the sun went down.But then came the electric light bulb(电灯泡).And now we have satellite television, the Internet, 24-hour convenience stores, and longer hours at work.How much can we sleep? How much should we sleep?Like it or not, many of us are sleeping less on average(平均).In 1910, most Americans slept 9 hours a night. That dropped to 7.5 hours by 1975.In 2002, a study by the National Sleep Foundation found that the average American got only 6.9 hours. The news is even worse for people who work the night shift. They sleep an average of just 5 hours.Are we sleeping enough? Not if you believe in the old rule of eight hours of rest, eight hours of work, and eight hours of play.On the other hand, Norman Stanley, a British scientist who studies sleep, believes people's sleep needs are different. Some people need as many as 11 hours, but others need as few as three. How much do you really need? “To find out,” he says, “simply sleep until you wake naturally, without the help of an alarm clock. That’s your sleep need.”Meanwhile, other scientists and researchers are searching for new ways to keep us awake longer. Some are developing chemicals(化学药品) that are safer and more powerful than caffeine, the chemical found in coffee and tea. One experimental drug, CX717, kept laboratory monkeys working happily for 36 hours. Further developments may allow people to safely stay awake for several days straight. One group of researchers is studying a gene(基因) found in some fruit flies that lets them get by on one-third the usual amount of sleep. Another group is even working on an electric switch that immediately wakes up a sleeping brain.The meanings of this research are huge.On the one hand, this could lead to a world where we work longer and longer hours with less and less sleep.On the other hand, if we needed less sleep, we would have more free time to travel, read, volunteer, and spend time with family.1.How many hours did most Americans sleep a night in 1975?A.5.B.6.9.C.7.5.D.9.2.What can we learn from the passage?A.People have got enough sleep.B.People will work longer hours.C.Sleep time will be a big problem.D.Staying awake for long is possible.3.What is probably the best title of the passage?A.To Sleep or Not to Sleep?B.How Can We Sleep Longer?C.To Work or Not to Work?D.How Much Can We Sleep?BEveryone has traits(特性) that make us who we are.We have physical traits, like red hair, long legs and funny-looking toes.We also have character traits including humor, warmth, creativity and so on.Certain physical traits are fully inherited(遗传), such as blue eyes, and knobby knees.About 25,000 to 35,000 genes(基因) are in a single cell in the human body.These genes carry the traits that are passed down genetically from parents to their children.Many traits exist between inheritance and development—the interaction with environment.One example is body shape.It tends to be passed down from parents.But once diet becomes a factor, environment begins to play an important role in how the body develops.Body shape is a trait that is a mixture of inheritance from parents and influence of environment.So lots of our most important traits have been learned, rather than inherited.For example, if you are really great at video games, it's not because your parents passed down the skills in genes.It's because you have practiced a lot of video games and developed those skills yourself.If you have kids who turn out to be great at video games, it is because they put in the hours, learned the skills, and memorized the moves that are necessary to play the video games well.Of course, some of us have brains that are more advantageous to video game playing.Say you were born with a large and powerful part of the brain that controls your hand-eye coordination(协调能力).That's inherited.What you do with it, how you choose to develop that advantage, is up to you.You can pierce your nose or get a tattoo—it doesn't matter how much you change your body during the lifetime.None of those things will turn into genetic material to be passed down to the next generation.However, if your children grow up in an environment with role models who are pierced and covered in tattoos, they are more likely to get piercings and tattoos!1.is a physical trait that is fully inherited.A.The eye colorB.The special dietC.The body shapeD.The pierced nose2.According to the passage, the writer believes that .A.character traits can hardly change during the lifetimeB.the skills of video game playing are passed down to kidsC.a kid's hand-eye coordination isn't related to inheritanceD.environment plays an important role in trait development3.Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?A.Why Are Traits Important?B.How Does Inheritance Influence Traits?C.Where Do Traits Come from?D.What Are Physical and Character Traits?CNight Milk and SleepA warm drink of milk before bed has long been the best choice for those wanting a good night's sleep.But now a study has found it really does help people nod off—if it is milked from a cow at night.Researchers have discovered that“night milk” contains mo re melatonin(褪黑激素), which has been proven to help people feel sleepy and reduce anxiety.The study, by researchers from Seoul, South Korea, involved mice being fed with dried milk powder made from cows milked both during the day and at night.Those given night milk, which contained 10 times the amount of melatonin, were less active and less anxious than those fed with the milk collected during daytime, according to the study published in The Journal of Medicinal Food.Night milk quickened the start of sleep and caused the mice to sleep longer.While the effect of cows' milk harvested at different time has not been tested on humans up to now, taking melatonin drugs has been suggested to those who are struggling to fall asleep at night.Previous studies have also indicated that milk can be excellent for helping sleep because of the calcium content, which helps people to relax.Milk is also sugar-free and additive-free with nutritionists recommending skimmed milk as the best choice before bed as it is the least fattening.The more fat you take in before bedtime, the greater burden you will put on your body at night.1.What does the phrase “nod off” in the first paragraph mean?A.Try to keep awake.B.Try to sleep a longer time.C.Change from being awake to a sleeping state.D.Change from a sleeping state to being awake.2.According to the text, the mice being fed with night time milk .A.woke up laterB.were more anxiousC.were less activeD.could not sleep well3.Why do lots of people think milk is excellent for helping sleep?A.Because many people like drinking milk.B.Because it's been tested on mice ten times.C.Because it can make people more energetic.D.Because it contains calcium, which helps people to relax.参考答案A[主旨大意] 这篇文章主要介绍了人的睡眠时间在不同时代不同;不同的人所需的睡眠时间也不同;随着科学技术的发展,科学家和研究人员还在寻找一些新的方法,可以让人们清醒的时间更长,以便有更多的时间去做别的事情。

精选英语中考英语阅读理解测试卷(有答案)(word)一、初三英语阅读理解(含答案详细解析)1.阅读理解What do you see when you look at abstract (抽象的)art? Can you understand it? Does it look like anything?Abstract art became popular in the early 20th century. Artists did not want to paint, draw, or sculpt things exactly like they looked. They didn't want their art to be realistic(现实的). They were more interested in basic shapes and colours.Picasso is probably the most famous of these artists. He painted and drew in many, many styles. Sometimes he used a lot of blue colours (his "blue period"). Later, he used more red and pink colours (his "rose period"). Many of his other paintings are called "cubist (立体派的)" because they are made of painted squares.After a long time, Picasso's paintings became more and more abstract. He painted people and things using strange shapes. His work was so strange that many of his workmates didn't understand it.Kandinsky, another famous artist, used lines, shapes, and patterns to paint his subjects. His paintings also used strong colours to express feelings. Other artists like the surrealists (超现实主义画家),were interested in subconsciousness (潜意识). Painters like Breton and Magritte used many symbols in their work. The meaning or subject of their work wasn't always clear. Dali, another surrealist artist, painted pictures that looked like dreams.There are still many abstract artists around the world. That's the way many artists prefer. They want each person to look at art and find their own meaning in it.(1)Which would be most like abstract art?A. A painting of a house.B. A sculpture of a car.C. A drawing of two people in a coffee house.D. A red and blue painting, with no clear subject.(2)What happened to Picasso's work after a long time?A. It became more abstract.B. It became less strange.C. He went from using red colours to using blue colours.D. He only painted with coloured squares.(3)How did Kandinsky express feelings?A. By using strong colours.B. By painting realistic people.C. By painting with a lot of symbols.D. By painting in red and pink colours.(4)Which of the following is NOT true?A. Picasso painted in many different styles.B. Dali was interested in dreams.C. Abstract artists feel each work of art only has one meaning.D. Magritte's art was full of symbols.【答案】(1)D(2)A(3)A(4)C【解析】【分析】本文介绍了抽象派艺术及其代表人物毕加索。

The dog was looking up at the woman.Jack walked up to the woman and said, "Hello, Sue, how are you? May I sit and talk with you for a while?" "Of course, please sit down," Sue said. Jack sat down next to Sue on the bench, and they talked quietly together. The dog continued to look up at Sue, as if waiting to be fed."That's a nice dog, isn't he?" Jack said, pointing at the animal."Yes, he is. He's handsome. He's a bit of a mixture, but that's not a bad thing. He's strong and healthy.""And hungry, "Jack said." He hasn't taken his eyes off you. He thinks you've got some food for him.""That's true, "Sue said." But I haven't."They both laughed and then Jack said, "Does your dog bite(咬人)?""No, "Sue said, "He's never bitten anyone. He's always gentle and friendly."Hearing this, Jack decided to hold out his hand and touched the animal's head. Suddenly it jumped up and bit him."Hey!" Jack shouted."

But if we read correctly the signs around us, we can tell what the more important changes in the weather will be. This way of telling what the weather will be like on the following day or two is called weather forecasting(天气预报).For many centuries and in all countries, people have studied the weather and tried to make weather forecasting. Rings around the sun are a sign of coming rain. That many people feel their joints(关节) hurt is a sign of wet weather. Some birds fly high if fine weather is coming, but they fly near the ground if rainy or stormy weather is on the way. If you see a rainbow(彩虹) during rainy weather, this is a sign that the weather will become clear and fine. Such rainbows come in the evening. If the stars twinkle clearly at night, then fine weather will continue. If a fog(雾) appears in the morning just above a river, then the day will be warm. If the sunset is mostly red in colour, then the following day will be fine. If a rainbow appears in the morning, rainy weather will probably come.Most of the above sayings have been made by the people who have used their eyes and brains to make weather forecasting.50. Which of the following can be used here to replace(取代) the underlined phrase “on the way”?A. awayB. goneC. disappearingD. coming51. When you see the stars twinkle clearly at night, the weather will be_________.A. warmB. rainyC. clear and fineD. cold52. Which of the following signs can tell the weather will probably be rainy?A. A rainbow appears in the morning.B. Some birds fly high.C. The stars twinkle clearly at night.D. Fogs appear in the morning just above a river.(7)One of the things to be learnt in a foreign language is guessing all the time what kind of thing to come when listening to someone talking. People do this all the time in their own language, so it is necessary to do this in a foreign language, too. Here are some examples.1. "What's the matter?" "I went to a party last night, so I……"2. "I feel so tired these days."" I think you'd better…"3."Of course, she never stops talking. She is one of the most……"You can see from the above three examples that the context (上下文) helps a lot in understanding what is being talked about. So "guessing" is very important in understanding English, especially spoken English.53. This passage tells us mainly about _________.A. the importance of "guessing" in learning a foreign languageB. how to guess what one is going to talk aboutC. some examples of right guessingD. how important it is to guess all the time54. From the context, we can see maybe the finished answer in EXAMPLE 1 is _________.A. "… so I didn't have a good time."B. "…so I went to bed very late."C. "….so I felt unhappy."D. "… so I got up very early."55. Maybe the finished answer in EXAMPLE 2 is ________.A. "I think you'd better have a good rest and take good care of yourself."B. "I think you'd better have something to drink."C. "I think you'd better get some help from your friends."D. "I think you'd better be more careful."56. Maybe the finished answer in EXAMPLE 3 is ______.A. "…… she is one of the most famous film stars."B. "……sh e is one of the most beautiful women."C. "……she is one of the most famous speakers."D. "……she is one of the most talkative women."(8)Would you know what to do during a big earthquake? Scientists have some advice for us.If the ground begins shaking while you are driving, stop your car on the roadside and stay in it. If you are in a tall building, don't use the lift and never jump out of the windows. When you are in a living room, find a strong table or rush into a smaller room like washroom. Then lie down your body. Take care of your head. When you are in a public place, like supermarket or cinema, don't crowd in jam(拥挤) , or you may fall over and get hurt. Cross your arms to protect yourself. You can also find a place to hide.After the main shake, quickly run out of the dangerous building for there will be small earthquakes. If you are safe, remember not to engage the phone line, keep it free for rescue(援救) using. Don't go to the hospital if you are not badly hurt, others will really need help. Take part in the rescue action if you can.57. What should people do if they are driving when an earthquake happens?A. Drive on quickly.B. Take care of the car.C. Stop the car on the roadside.D. Jump out of the windows.58. Why does the writer say "Don't crowd in jam in public places"?A. Because people can lie down easily.B. Because people may get help quickly.C. Because it can help avoid falling over.D. Because it can help find a place to hide.59. What does the underlined word "engage" in the last paragraph mean in Chinese?A.占用B.触摸C.接通D.修理60.

2.阅读理解Some people think only school children do not agree with their parents.However, it is not true.Communication is a problem for parents and children of all ages. If it's hard for you to communicate with your parents, don't worry about it. Here is some advice for you to bridge the generation gap(消除代沟).Don't argue with your parents. Don't get to your parents when you are angry. Your parents probably won't consider your ideas if you are shouting at them. And you can't express yourself well if you are angry. Go to some-place to calm down. Make sure you understand why you are unhappy. Then think about what you want to say to your parents. If you don't think you can speak to them at the moment, try writing a letter.Try to reach a compromise(和解).Perhaps you and your parents disagree on something. You can keep your disagreement and try your best to accept each other. Michael's mother didn't agree with him about buying a motorcycle. They argued over it. But they finally came to a compromise. Michael bought the motorcycle, but only drove it on certain days. Of course, your parents might refuse to compromise on something. In these situations, it is especially important to show love and respect to them. Showing respect will keep your relationship strong.Talk about your values. The values of your parents are probably different from those of your own. Tell your parents what you care about and why. Understanding your values might help them see your purposes in life.A good relationship with your parents can make you a better and happier person.
