(1)It’s hard to make friends if you stay at home alone all the time. Get out of the house and do things that will put you in touch with(接触) other people. It’s easier to make friends when you have similar interests.Don’t be afraid to show people what you’re really good at. Talk about the things you like and do best. People will be interested in you if there is something interesting about you.Look at people in the eye when you talk to them. That way, they’ll find it easier to talk to you, or people may think you’re not interested in them and may stop being in terested in you.Be a good listener. Let people talk about themselves before talking about “me, me, me”. Ask lots of questions. Show an interest in their answers.Try to make friends with the kind of people you really like, respect (尊敬), and admire (羡慕)—not just with those who are easy to meet. Be friendly with a lot of peo ple. That way, you’ll have a bigger group of people to choose from and have more chances for making friends.1. How can we have more friends, get in touch with other people or stay at home?2.When Jim talks to people, he always looks right, left, or at the floor. Do you think it’s right? Why or why not?3.

What should you do if you want to have more chances for making friends?5.What’s the main idea of the passage?(2)Thanksgiving Day is a very special day for people in the United States. They celebrate it on the last Thursday in November. Canadians also celebrate Thanksgiving Day, but they do it on the second Monday of October. In Britain, where this festival is called Harvest Festival, people celebrate it earlier in the year, in September.A harvest is the fruit you take from the trees and the crops you take from the ground. In North America and Britain, harvest time for most fruit and crops is in the autumn. In these countries and other Christian places, people give thanks to God on a special day of the year. They thank God for the good things that have happened during the year and for the good harvest they have had. People usually take small boxes of fruit, flowers, and vegetables to their churches to show their thanks.The first thanksgiving service (仪式) in North America took place on December 4th, 1619 when 38 English people, arrived in America to make their home in the new country. They held this service not to thank God for the harvest, but to thank God for their safe journeys. The next year, many more English people arrived. They had a bad winter, but fortunately the harvest was good. they decided to celebrate it with a big meal. They shot and killed small animals to eat and cooked everything outside on large fires. About 90 Indians also came to the meal. Everyone ate at tables outside their houses and played games together. The festival lasted three days.A Thanksgiving Day celebration was held every year for a long time, but not always on the same day of the year. Then, in 1789, President George Washington named November 26th as the Day of Thanksgiving. In 1863, President Abraham Lincoln changed the date, and said that the last Thursday in November should be Thanksgiving Day.Nowadays, North Americans around the world get together with their families on this day to eat good food and have a happy time.1. Is Thanksgiving Day celebrated on the same day in North American countries?2. When did the first thanksgiving service take place in North America?3.

They say that pleasure reading is too easy.Many experts (专家) say pleasure reading is very important for learning English. Dr. Stephen Krashen, a famous expert on learning languages, says that pleasure reading helps you learn many important things about English. Students learn more grammar and more words when they read for pleasure. They also learn more about good writing.Dr. Krashen tells us that pleasure reading helps each student in a different way. Each student needs to learn something different. Pleasure reading makes it possible for each student to learn what he or she needs.Reading for pleasure is not the same as studying. When you read for pleasure, you choose your own books, and you don’t have to remember everything. There are no test s on your pleasure reading books. Pleasure reading will help you:●learn how English speakers use English●read faster in English●find examples of good writing in English●learn new words●learn about the cultures (文化) of English speakers1.

2013中考英语试题及答案各位读友大家好,此文档由网络收集而来,欢迎您下载,谢谢2013中考英语试题及答案2013年中考英语精品复习资料阅读理解篇(二)议论文(6)A famous study was done in a school by a professor(教授) from a university.At the start of the school year,the teachers were given the names of five children.They were told that these five were the most excellent students in the class.But the fact was that these students were only average(中等),and they were not the best students at all.Well,guess what? At the end of the year,all the five average students scored among the highest in the class.What made these average students change so much to become top students? The only difference was the change in their teachers’attitude(态度).Because the teachers believed that these five kids were the top students,they expected(期望) more from them.And so these five average students began to believe and expect more from themselves.So they worked harder to do as well as they could.Do you know? If you expect the best from people,they’ll usually want to give you their best.A great leader said,“Treat(对待) a person just how he appears to be on the outside,and you’ll make him even worse.But treat a person like he’s already a success,and you’ll help make him the best he can be.”Like the true story of 7-year-old Johnny,his teacher got so angry with him that one day she said,“Johnny,you’re the naug htiest(最顽皮的) boy in this class.I’m sure you’ll never change.”The next year Johnny had a new teacher.And on the first day of class,she met with Johnny after school and said,“Jo hnny,I’ve heard a lot about you! But do you know that I don’t believe a word of it.”And everyday after that,this new teacher treated Johnny as if he was one of the smartest students even when Johnny did naughty things.Later on,Johnny became a school leader.Because that’s the power of our belief(信任) and attitude toward children.根据短文内容,选择正确答案。

Maybe you don’t know what to do.Well, here’s a list of the top six things to do when you’re in high school.These things will give you ideas of what your high school life could be like.Here you go!①Find your passion(激情) and what kind of person you are:Whether it’s dance,basketball,or drawing,the important thing is that you have found something you are interested in.②Talk to people you wouldn’t usually talk to:Meet new people,find new friends and even talk to the people you don’t like.It will show what a great person you are.You never know what will happen after high school.③Take part in at least one contest(竞赛):This will give you tears(眼泪) of laughter,happiness and memories.④Get a job:This will help you see what it’s like to have responsibility(责任).It can also help you make a little money to spend on yourself.⑤Take a trip with your friends:It doesn’t matter where you go or what you do,the memories will happen on the way and go on till the final place.⑥Do your best at school:Don’t ever get lazy.Working hard now will help you in the future.46.The writer mainly tells you six things you should do ________.A.in your high school yearsB.at the beginning of your high school yearsC.before your high school beginsD.after you finish your high school47.The writer gives you advice that you should talk to the people you don’t like because ________.A.you will feel sorry if notB.it will show how great you areC.you can show how clever you areD.you can make your study better48.From Point ③,we know that you can ________ in a contest.A.get lots of tearsB.have fl strong bodyC.get good grades in high schoolD.have different feelings and memories49.Which of the following you’d better not do according to the passage?A.Find your interest.B.Get a;ob.C.Take a trip with your friends.D.Get lazy.50.What’s the main idea of the passage?A.Have a happy school life.B.How to get along with your schoolmates.C.Ideas of successful high school life.D.Make your school life easy.(17)There is an argument(争论) going on in many schools.It is about what language or languages are spoken in the classroom.Some people argue that because this is America,only English should be spoken in schools.Others argue that America is a melting pot(多元文化的移民国家).And if students are able to speak more than one language.that should be accepted and celebrated in classrooms.We asked students in New York City what they thought.Here’s what they said.YESPedro Rodriguez:Even though you may want to speak your native language(本族语),youshould learn and speak only English in school.It’s very important.It’s the most popular language in the world.If you live here,you should speak it.Gisell Mata:How can people expect to communicate in this country if they can’t speak English? School is the best place to start.I think if you speak and write only English in school,you will learn it quicker and be able to speak it very well in a short time.Chemway Corley:I think all kids should speak only English in school.If you are living in the U. S.,you must know English.It is the main language of the country.I think students should have to learn the language even if they take ten periods a week learning it.NoXiomarah Veras:I think people should learn English in school,but they shouldn’t be required to speak only English.It should be up to students and teachers what they speak and learn.For people just learning English,it can be easier if they’re allowed to speak their native language in class too.Patrieia Morel:People shouldn’t be forced to speak a language that they don’t want to speak.It is up to you to decide what is best for you in school or at home.Nobody should be forced to do anything she’s not ready to do.Yessenia Ortiz:I think if English is introduced to people slowly,they will want to speak it more.If they are in this country.they will want to learn English.But if you tell them it is the only language they can speak in school,it will make them angry.43.What does the writer try to tell us in the text?A.Two different ideas on speaking the same language.B.The reason why people must speak English.C.How to speak English very well in a short time.D.When and where English should be spoken.44.Who thinks school is the best place to start learning English?A.Pedro Rodriguez.B.Gisell Mata.C.Patricia Morel.D.Xiomarah Veras.45.From what Yessenia Ortiz says,we can know that she ________.A.can speak many foreign languages very wellB.thinks many people don’t want to learn EnglishC.must introduce English to people slowlyD.thinks the ability to choose is important(18)In different countries around the world,people become‘ adults’(成年人) at different ages.Being an adult means having the right(权利) to do certain things such as get a part-time job,vote(选举权),get married,or get a licence to drive.In many countries,sixteen or eighteen is the age at which a person becomes an adult.Young men and women at this age can get a part-time job,and begin to receive an income(收入) of their own.They no longer have to depend on their parents for money all the time.In many parts of North America,sixteen is also the age when one can get a driver’s licence;in England,it is seventeen.In the United States,Canada,and the U. K. ,young people have the right to vote at the age of eighteen.With this right also comes duty.For young people to use their right to vote wisely,they must have an understanding of the needs of society,and they must also learn how politics(政治观点) work.Not everyone would agree that it is a good idea to give all of these rights to people when they are too young.The question is,how young is too young?64.An adult has the right to do certain things.Please give an example.65.At what age can one get a driver’s licence in England?66.In which countries do young people have the right to vote at the age of eighteen?67.Does everyone agree to give all the rights to people when they are too young?(19)Have you ever stayed in a hotel? Most Chinese hotels often provide people with things like disposable (一次性的) toothbrushes,toothpaste,shampoo and so on.Many people like the idea because they don’t have to bring their own.But,if you travel to Beijing,remember to bring your own things.Starting from June,some hotels in Beijing no longer provide people with these disposables.They want to ask people to use fewer disposable things.Many disposable things are made of plastic(塑料).People throw them away after only using them once.It is a waste of natural resources(资源) and is very bad for the environment.Do youknow.one Chinese person makes as much as 400kg of waste a year! Most of that waste comes from disposable things.In Beijing,people throw away about 19000000 kg of plastic bags and 1320000 kg of plastic lunch bowls every year! Plastic can take between 100 and 400 years to break down(腐烂).So the less plastic we throw out,the better.Wherever you travel,bring your own things and use them again and again.根据短文内容,填空或回答问题。

Leave here!”But the father,who loved his son deeply,asked,“Are you going to help me now?”The police came up and said,“It’s over.Leave here! We’ll do it!”Still he asked again and again,“Are you going to help m e now?” He went on alone because he needed to know.“Is my boy alive or is he dead?”He dug for 8 hours... 12 hours... 24 hours... 36 hours... then,in the 38th hour,he pulled back a large stone and heard his son’s voice.He cried,“Tom!”He heard back,“Dad!? It’s me,Dad! I told the other kids you’d save me.I believed you would keep your promise.” “Get out,boy!”“No,Dad! Let the other kids out first,because I know you’ll get me out!

Sun cream reduces the risk of skin cancer.D. Sun cream starts to work immediately.BIn the 1920s and 30s the airlines were just beginning. It was unusual for people to travel by air because it was expensive and dangerous. In those days, there were no flight attendants to look after the passengers. Young men ,or “stewards” helped the passengers onto the airplane and carried the passengers’ luggage(行李)but they did not provide food and drinks. But then in 1930,a woman called Ellen Church invented the “stewardess”.Ellen Church was born in 1904 on a farm in Iowa. She was a different child. She didn’t want to work on a farm or marry a farmer —she wanted a more adventurous(冒险的)life. Ellen studie d to be a nurse at the University of Minnesota and then got a job in a hospital. For the next few years she stayed at the hospital but also took flying lessons and got her pilot’s license.Ellen was twenty-five years old when she first got in touch with Boeing Air Transport. She loved flying but she understood that airlines were a man’s world. Although women like Emelia Earheart were becoming famous, she realized it was impossible for a woman to have a career as a pilot .But she had another idea. Most people were frightened of flying because. flying was still an unr eliable(不可靠的) way to travel. There were often delays(延误),many crashes and the bad weathers made many passengers sick. Ellen thought nurses could take care of passengers during flights and B.A.T. agreed.The young woman from Iowa and seven other nurses became the first airstewardesses.At first pilots were unhappy because they did not want stewardesses on airplanes, but passengers loved the stewardesses. In 1940 there were around 1000 of them working for different airlines. The early “stewardesses” had to b e under twenty-five-year-old, single and slim. When a woman joined an airline, she had to promise not to get married or have children. It was hard job and not well paid. They worked long hours and earned $1 an hour.In the 1970s, stewardesses were unhappy in their job and airlines had to make some changes. Since the 1970s, “stewardesses” have been called flight attendants. They are well paid and work fewer hours than in the past.18.( )The last sentence of the first paragraph suggests that _________.A. the word “stewardess” was ma de up by Ellen ChurchB. Ellen Church was the first woman who flew a planeC. Ellen Church was the first woman who worked on a planeD. Ellen Church was the first woman passenger on a plane19.( )From the second paragraph, we learn that ________.A. Ellen did not behave in the same way as most as other girlsB. Ellen’s family was not rich enough to support her educationC. Ellen was fond of working as a nurse in the hospitalD. Ellen has an unhappy childhood that changed her completely20.( )The main reason for Boeing Air Transport offering Ellen the job was________.A. her flying experienceB. her univer sity educationC. her nursing experienceD. her life attitudes21.( )According to the passage, in the 1940s a woman had to ________ if she wantedto be a stewardess.A. be a nurseB. be marriedC. be a motherD. be young22.( )The passage mainly talks about _______.A. the background of early flying pilotsB. the experience of flying passengersC. the history of early flight attendantsD. the development of airplanes第二节任务型阅读(阅读下面短文,从A-F六副图中找出与第56-60各题号后内容相匹配的图,其中一幅为多余选项)Royal Mail Special DeliveryAt the Post Office you can send letters and parcels(包裹) in different ways.

2013中考英语专题训练题及答案:阅读理解08第***题Do you know how to play a game called “Musical Chairs”?It is easy to play and most people enjoy it. All you need are some chairs,some people and some way of making music. You may use a piano or any other musical instrument,if someone can play it. You may use a tape recorder. You can even use a radio.Put the chairs in a row. The chairs may be put in twos,back to back. A better way is to have the chairs in one row with each chair facing in the opposite direction to the chair next to it.The game is easy. When the music starts,the players walk round the chairs. Everyone goes in the same direction,of course,they should walk in time to the music. If the music is fast they should walk quickly. If the music is slow,they should walk slowly.The person playing music cannot see the people in the game. When the music stops,the players try to sit on the chairs. If a person cannot find a chair to sit on,he drops out. Then,before the music starts again,one chair must be taken away. When the music stops again,one more player will be out.At last,there will be two players and one chair. The one who sits on the chair when the music stops is the winner.根据以上短文内容,然后从每题所给的四个选项中选择最佳选项。

Never meet anyone you met on line alone.Always remember that people online may not be who they say they are. Treat everyone online as strangers.If something you see or read online makes you uncomfortable, leave the site. Tell a parent or teacher right away.Treat other people as you‘d like to be treated.

This passage is mainly about ―________‖.A. How to use ComputersB. Surfing on the InternetC. Information on the InternetD. Internet Safety RulesKey: D BCCDBDo you know why different animals or pests (昆虫) have their special colors? Colors in them seem to be used mainly to protect themselves.Some birds like eating locusts (蝗虫), but birds cannot easily catch them. Why? It is because locusts change their colors together with the change of the colors of crops(庄稼). When crops are green, locusts look green. But as the harvest time comes, locusts change to the same brown color as crops have. Some other pests with different colors from plants are easily found and eaten by others. So they have to hide themselves for lives and appear only at night.If you study the animal life, you‘ll find the main use of coloring is to protect themselves. Bears, lions and other animals move quietly through forests. They cannot be easily seen by hunters (猎人). This is because they have the colors much like the trees.Have you ever noticed an even stranger act? A kind of fish in the sea can send out a kind of very black liquid (液体)when it faces danger. While the liquid spreads over (散开), its enemies (敌人)cannot find it. And it immediately swims away. So it has lived up to now though it is not strong at all.()1.From the passage we learn that locusts________.A. are small animalsB. are easily found by birdsC. are dangerous to their enemiesD. change their colors to protect themselves()2.How can pests with different colors from plants keep out of danger?A.

Because it is very and strong.B. Because the liquid it sends out can help it escape from its enemies.C. Because the liquid it sends out can kill its enemies.D. Because it swims faster than any other fish.()5.Which is the best title for this passage?A. The Change of Colors for Animals and PestsB. Colors of Different Animals and PestsC.

He had an unusual voice and he wanted to work in Disney‘s cartoon(动画片) film for children.When Walt Disney heard Nash‘s voice, he said ‖Stop! That‘s our duck!‖The duck was the now-famous Donald Duck, who first appeared in 1934 in the firm The Wise Little Hen. Donald lived in an old houseboat(水上住家) and wore his sailor jacket and hat. Later that year he became a star after an eight – minute Mickey Mouse film. The cinema audience liked him because he was lazy and greedy(贪婪的), and because he lost his temper (发脾气) very quickly. And they loved his voice when he became angry with Mickey‘s eight nephews(侄子). Soon Donald was more po pular than Mickey Mouse himself, probably because he wasn‘t a goody-goody like Mickey.In the 1930S, ‗ 40s and ‗ 50s Donald and his friends Mickey, Goofy and Pluto made hundreds of Disney cartoons. He also made educational films about the place of the USA in the world, and safety in the home. Then in 1966 Donald Duck and his voice disappeared – there were no more new cartoons.Clarence Nash died in February, 1985.

The underlined word ‖audience‖ in the second paragraph means______ .A. readsB. formal interviewC. law freedomD. the people who watch a film at a cinemaKey: CBBCDDThere once lived in China a very foolish king and queen. One day the queen had a baby daughter. When they saw their baby, they both cried out, ―My goodness! How small it is! It‘s hairless and toothless! It‘s a monster!‖ They sen t for all the doctors in the country and ordered them to prepare some medicine for her.―When she drinks your medicine, she must grow to the right size and have hair and teeth,‖ the king said, ―If you don‘t do this, you‘ll have a beating.‖The doctors thou ght it impossible, but they dared not say anything against the king‘s order. Just then and old doctor stepped forward. ―Oh, we shall certainly obey your order,‖ he said, ―but it takes time. We have to dig a mineral from the KunLun Mountains when the snow melts for the second time. The snow melts on those mountains only once in six years. So we need twelve years.‖At last the king agreed and the doctors took away the little princess. On her twelfth birthday, they brought her back to her parents with long black hair and beautiful teeth.

He was so well known for his good knowledge of almost everything that lots of people from all over the country came to learn from him. The great man taught his students whole-heartedly and answered their questions with great patience.One day a student asked him, ― My dear teacher, didn‘t you say you yourself have many ,many more questions about things than we do? But I think we students have far more than you.‖With a smile on his face, the teacher drew two circles ,one as large as a big cake, the other smaller. Then he said , ―Of course, I have learned much more. But it‘s wrong to think that a teacher has fewer questions than his students. Now, look at these two circles. The inside of the bigger one is my knowledge of things, and the inside of the smaller one is yours. Out of the circles is what is still unknown to us. Since mine is larger, I have to use the longer line to draw the bigger circle. That means I have more opportunit ies to face what is still unknown. And that‘s why I myself have more questions than you do. The more you learn , the more questions you have. You will never learn enough ,you know.‖()1.

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 did not 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.

But can also be very harmful. Fire can heat water warm your houses, give light, and cook food. But fire can burn things too. It can burn trees, houses, animals, or people. Sometimes big fires can burn forests.Nobody knows for sure how people began to use fire. But there are many interesting, old stories about the first time a man or woman started a fire. One story from Australia tells about a man very, very long time ago. He went up to the sun by a rope and brought fire down.Today people know how to make a fire with matches. Children sometimes like to play with them. But matches can be very dangerous. One match can burn a piece of paper, and then it might burn a house. A small fire can become a big fire very fast.Fires kill many people every year. So you must be careful with matches. You should also learn to put out fires. Fires need oxygen. Without oxygen they die. There is oxygen in the air. Cover a fire with water, sand, or in an emergency, with your coat or something else.
