I had the plant for two months, and every day I looked at it, but there weren?t any flowers or pleasant smell. I was not happy, so I gave the plant to my friend Linda. One day, another friend Mary called and invited me to her office. When I walked in, her jasmine flowers surprised me. I reached out to touch the flowers. Mary cut some and gave them to me. I couldn?t help smelling them. Surrounded by the sweet smell of only a handful of these flowers, I suddenly understood something. Mary bought her plant the same time I did. It took a year for her jasmine to bloom. I was so impatient for mine to bloom; regretfully, I gave it away. In a way my life is like the jasmine plant. I need to be patient and let things happen.

Their experiments show how we sometimes just do not see what is in front of our eyes because 4Here is one of their most famous experiments. In this experiment, the participants (参与者) were shown a video of two groups of people (one group in white T-shirts and one group in black T-shirts) who passed basketballs around in a hallway. Each group had three members. Simons and Chabris asked the participants to count how many times the white team passed the ball.

A lot of people still like to ride horses. And horse racing is also popular.

Today, if a girl acts like she is better than everyone else, you might say she should get off her high horse.Yesterday my children wanted me to take them to the playground. But I had to finish my work, so I said, "Hold your horses. Wait until I finish what I am doing." My two boys like tocompete against each other and play in a noisy and not very careful way. I always tell them to stop horsing around or someone could get hurt.Last night, I got a telephone call while I was watching my favourite TV show. I decided not to answer it because wild horses could not drag (拖,拽) me away from the television. There was nothing that could stop me from doing what I wanted to do.Sometimes you get information straight from the horse's mouth. Let us say your teacher tells you there is going to be a test tomorrow.

Soon, his friend Ben Rogers appeared,eating an apple. Tom pretended (假装) not to see him."Tom!" Ben said. "Why are you working?""Oh, it's you, Ben," Tom said, "I didn't notice you. '"I'm going for a swim," Ben said, "but you don't want to come. You want to work, don't you?It's much nicer!" Ben laughed loudly. Tom looked seriously at Ben and said, "What is work?What do you call work?""Isn't that work?" Ben asked."Well, no. Does a boy get the opportunity to paint a fence every day? You've never painted a fence, have you? Auntie says I have to do it with great care!""Please, Tom. Let me do a little," said Ben."No, Ben. If you do, you'll do it wrong. You can't paint very well. '"I won't do it wrong. I'll be really careful. I'll give you my apple." Tom gave him the brush and paint with a sad face, but in his heart he was glad. His trick had worked.After Ben got tired and left, other boys came along and Tom said the same things to them. Soon, the whole fence was painted white, but not by Tom.

When I looked in the back of the van, the sofa wasn't there. Then I remembered the boss had told me to collect the sofa from another shop. I'd forgotten to do that. I drove to the shop in the next town. 3 All the shops are closed on Monday afternoons. I would have to call again the next day instead.4When I arrived at the next house, I opened the doors of the van at the back. A heavy chair fell out onto my foot. Ooooooww! I jumped up and down the street on one leg. It was very painful! I was able to walk on one and a half feet up to the house with the chair.The afternoon was getting very hot. I hadn't eaten or drunk anything and didn't have any water in the car. When I went through the next town, I met a traffic jam. 5 Two hours later, I got to the last shop. It was 6'clock.

中考英语分项汇编阅读理解之记叙文阅读(含答案解析)
中考英语分项汇编阅读理解记叙文阅读01Every boy wants to find treasure. And Tom was no different. One summer day Tom told Huck about his idea.“Where can we look for treasure?” asked Huck.“It’s hidden on islands, under dead trees, but mostly under the floors in haunted(闹鬼的) houses.”“Who hides it?”“Robbers(劫匪). You can find a box with a hundred dollars in it, or a chest full of diamonds(钻石).”So, on Saturday afternoon the boys went to look for treasure at the haunted house on Cardiff Hill. It was a quiet and lonely place. And the boys looked at each other in fear. They entered quietly, and explored downstairs. There were cobwebs(蜘蛛网) everywhere and everything was old and broken. Then they threw their tools in a corner and walked upstairs, but there was nothing there. They were just about to go downstairs and start digging when Tom stopped.“What is it?” whispered Huck, going white with fear.“Keep still! There’s someone downstairs!”The boys lay down, looking through the holes in the wooden floor. There were two men downstairs. One was an old Spaniard(西班牙人) in a wide hat. The other was dirty and unpleasant-looking. The boys shook with fear.Then the Spaniard spoke. It was Indian Joe. Tom and Huck felt even more frightened.The men sat down on the floor and ate. They then lay down and fell asleep. When the two men woke up, the stranger said, “It’s time for us to move, partner. What will we do with the $650 from the robbery?”“Let’s keep $30 each and leave the rest here.”The dirty man went to the fireplace(壁炉) and moved a stone. Then he lifted out a bag full of money and took out some coins.The two boys forgot all their fears. There was real treasure downstairs.—Adapted from the Adventures of Tom Sawyer1.Except Tom and Huck, how many people are mentioned in the passage?A.1.B.2.C.3.D.4.2.According to Tom, what may not be included in the hidden treasure?A.Dollars.B.Diamonds.C.Golds.D.Silvers.3.How did Tom and Huck feel when they found the two men downstairs?A.Worried.B.Excited.C.Afraid.D.Happy.4.Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A.Tom thought Spaniards liked hiding treasure.B.The two man got the $650 through robbery.C.The two man took the $650 away.D.The two men hid the money under the floor.5.Why didn’t Tom and Huck feel frightened at last?A.The two man made friends with them.B.Their attention was caught by the money.C.They left the house and ran away.D.They decided to fight with the two man.02Growing up, I thought math class was something to be endured, not enjoyed. I disliked memorizing formulas (公式) and taking tests, all for the dull goal of getting a good grade. One of my teachers told my mother that I was “slow”. But my problem wasn’t with math itself. In fact, when a topic seemed particularly interesting, I would go to the library and read more about it.By high school, no one told me that I could become a professional mathematician. What I wanted to do then was to play college football. My goal was to get an athletic scholarship to attend a Big Ten school.The chances of that happening were very low. But that didn’t stop my coaches from encouraging me to believe I could reach my goal, and preparing and pushing me to work for it. They made video tapes of my performances and sent them to college coaches around the country. In the end, a Big Ten school, Penn State, did offer me a scholarship.I wish math teachers were more like football coaches. Students are influenced by more than just the quality of a lesson plan. They also react to the passion of their teachers and the engagement of their peers and they try to achieve a sense of purpose. They get advantages from detailed and exact instructions and constant feedback (反馈).Until I got to college, I didn’t really know what mathematics was. I still thought of it as laborious (耗时费力的) calculations. Then my professor handed me a book and suggested that I should think about a particular problem. It wasn’t easy, but it was attractive. My professor kept giving me problems, and I kept chasing them, even though I couldn’t always solve them immediately. The mathematical research I was doing had little in common with what I did in my high school classrooms. Instead, it was closer to the math and logic puzzles I did on my own as a boy. It gave me the same sense of wonder and curiosity, and it rewarded creativity. I am now a Ph.D candidate (候选人) in mathematics at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.6.Why did the writer think math class in school was “something to be endured” before entering college?A.Because he wasn’t interested in math.B.Because his math teachers didn’t care to push him.C.Because he was too smart and talented for math class.D.Because he was training hard for an athletic scholarship.7.We can conclude that after entering college, the writer ________.A.was busy looking for math problems to solveB.studied on his own just as he was in high schoolC.met with laborious calculations in his studiesD.began to realize what mathematics really is8.What is the best title for the text?A.Interest is the best teacherB.Be the best — you can make itC.Math, taught like footballD.Once your teacher, always your teacher03When my son finally started school around the age of four, I felt as though I’d beenpromoted (晋级) to the new position of School Parent. It was an unexpectedly challenging role, one without additional benefits, or a raise for that matter.As a direct result of starting school, there was the surprisingly unpleasant changes to our schedule (time-table). As parents, we were ill-prepared for the troubled time we had trying to get used to the practice of school.Gone were the carefree days without plans and plenty of time to kill. This included playing imaginary games indoors or hanging around outside whenever the weather turned nice. Getting to school on time meant becoming the ‘hot mess’ mum who were often seen in movies. I was rushing kids out the door, forgetting lunch boxes and losing car keys.As a huge morning person, I tried my best to ensure that school mornings remained calm and slow-paced. I prepared as much as possible the night before. But it still felt like we were in a rush, which I really hated.The trick. I later discovered, was to cover up my feeling of anxiety. I chanted to myself “Do not rush him, no one likes to be rushed” while helping him get through his morning routine and tasks in a timely manner. Whatever frustration (沮丧) I fell about how slow he was moving, I wouldn’t let him know it. I even didn’t allow anyone in our house to say phrases like, “Hurry up, we’re going to be late!” Our common goal, was not just to get our son out the door in time for school, but more importantly prove that mornings can be relaxed and enjoyable, rather than a horrible start to the day.Of course by the time summer holiday came, our family had grown wise enough. In what felt like the ‘longest shortest time’, we went from anxious and confused, to calm and confident once again. We were far more prepared to have a smoother start to the new school year. 9.What do we know about the author from the first paragraph?A.She liked her new position.B.She got a promotion at work.C.She made good preparations.D.She had to face the challenge.10.Which word is similar in meaning to the underlined words “hot mess” in paragraph 3? A.disorganized B.busy C.confident D.hard-working11.What is the text mainly about?A.Growth of kids.B.Experience as a school parent.C.New life in school.D.Advice on lifestyle change.04One day, Frank was walking with his mother outside. When they came to a pretty garden, he called to his mother and said, “Mother, I wish I could open the gate and walk in.”The gardener, being near, heard what Frank said, and kindly invited him and his mother to come into the garden.Frank’s mother thanked the man. Turning to her son, she said, “Frank, if I take you to walk in this garden, you must take care not to meddle with (乱动) anything in it.”Frank walked along the paths and looked at everything, but touched nothing. He was careful that his clothes should not brush the tops of the flowers in case he might break them.The gardener was very pleased with Frank because he was so careful not to make trouble. He showed him the seeds (种子) and told him what the flowers and plants were.While Frank was admiring the beauty of a flower, a boy came to the gate. Finding it locked, he shook it hard. But it would not open. Then he said, “Let me in. Let me in. Will you not let me in this garden?”“No,” said the gardener. “I will not let you in, for when I let you in yesterday, you meddled with my flowers, and even picked some fruit. I do not let boys into my garden who meddle with the plants.”Ashamed, the boy walked away slowly.Seeing this, Frank felt how much happier a boy may be by not meddling with that which does not belong to him.12.What can we learn from the story?A.The gardener knew Frank’s mother very well.B.The gardener was unwilling to let Frank in.C.Frank had visited the garden the day before.D.The mother was strict with her son.13.How did the gardener react (反应) to Frank’s behavior in the garden?A.He was very happy with Frank.B.He wanted Frank to brush his flowers.C.He thought Frank was a troublemaker.D.He asked Frank to be more careful.14.As the other boy left, he _______.A.hated Frank very muchB.got angry with the gardenerC.realized his own problemsD.meddled with more plants15.What lesson might Frank learn from the other boy?A.Don’t compare yourself to others.B.Good manners are very important.C.Never believe in a little boy.D.Listening to Mom is never wrong.05That night the wind and the rain woke Mary up.“Horrid(非常讨厌的) rain!” she said. “It came because it knew I didn’t want it.”Then she heard another noise. It was the strange crying sound. She got out of bed, picked up the candle and went out into the long, dark corridor(走廊) outside her room. As she followed it, the sound became louder and louder. Finally, she arrived at a door. She opened it quietly andwent in.The room was large and full of beautiful old furniture.There was a fire in the fireplace and a candle next to a big bed. In it she could see a boy and he was crying. He had a white face, long dark hair and big grey eyes. He looked ill but he wasn’t crying because he was in pain.Mary went towards the bed. The boy turned his head and stared (注视) at her.“Who are you?” he whispered. “Are you a ghost?”“No,” Mary answered. “Are you a ghost?”He stared at her with his big eyes.“No,” he replied. “I am Colin. Colin Craven. Who are you?”“I am Mary Lennox. Mr Craven is my uncle.”“He’s my father,” said the boy.“Your father! I didn’t know that he had a son!” shouted Mary. “Why were you crying?”“I was sad and my head hurt.”“Did the servants (仆人) tell you about me?” asked Mary.“No, because they know that I don’t want to see people.”“Why not?”“People talk about me because I’m always ill. I don’t like it. My father doesn’t like it either. But I’m going to die. If I live, I’m probably going to be a hunchback(驼背的人) like him.”“Does your father come and see you?”“He doesn’t want to see me.”“Why not?” Mary asked again.“My mother died when I was born. He feels sad when he looks at me. I think he almost hates me.”“He hates the garden because she died,” said Mary, half speaking to herself.“What garden?” the boy asked.“Oh, just a garden she liked,” Mary said.Then she said quickly, “Do you always stay in bed?”“Yes. But a doctor from London said I must go out in the fresh air. I hate fresh air.”“Oh,” said Mary.Mary learned a lot about Colin. Mary began to understand that Colin was spoilt. His father gave him everything he asked for. And Colin never had to do anything if he didn’t want to doit.“Everyone has to do what I want,” Colin said. “I get ill if I’m angry.”—Taken from The Secret Garden 16.Which words can be used to describe Mary’s feelings after she woke up that night?

Today, Jadav’s forest is larger than the nearby national park. Though he has had little education, he knows a lot about the environment.Back in 1979, there was the worst summer in Assam. Floods (洪水) washed thousands of snakes out of their homes and they died from the heat. Jadav was very sad. He went to the villagers for help. The elders said that growing bamboo might help.As a little boy, Jadav began planting bamboo along the sandbar(沙堤). He spent his dạys on the plants. There was nobody helping him.

Dorothy picked up Toto and ran to the cellar door. Before she could climb down the ladder into the cellar, a great cyclone (龙卷风) picked up the house. It turned it round and round and round and then carried it high into the sky.It was not very dark. Dorothy felt as if she were riding through the sky. She held on to Toto and climbed under her bed, where she stayed for several hours. Then, although the house was still moving, she fell asleep.When she woke up, she did not know how much later, the house was on the ground. It was in a field full of flowers, and there were hundreds of beautifully colored birds flying about and singing. Not far away, there was a stream with clear, fresh water.Dorothy was still under her bed. She got up and left the house. She was surprised to see three little men and a little woman walking toward her. They were very strangely dressed. The men’s clothes were white and had little stars all over them.When they saw Dorothy, they walked up to her and bowed (鞠躬).“Welcome to the land of the Munchkins,” one of the little men said. “We thank you for killing the Wicked Witch of the East. Now our people are free.”“I’m afraid you are making a mistake,” Dorothy said. “I didn’t kill any witch.”“Your house did,” one of the little men said. “Look!”He pointed to the house. Dorothy saw two feet sticking out from under it.“Oh!” Dorothy shouted. “The house fell on her. What can I do?”“There is nothing to do,” the little woman said. “The Wicked Witch of the East is dead, and the Munchkins are thankful to you.”“Are you a Munchkin?” Dorothy asked.“No, but I am their friend,” the little woman said. “I am the Witch of the North.?”From The Wonderful Wizard of Ozby L.

It was Wendy. The boys all took off their hats “Where am I?” Wendy asked.Of course, Slightly was the first to get a word in.“Wendy lady,’’ he said quickly, “we built this house for you.’’“Oh, please say you like it!” cried Nibs.“What a lovely, lovely house,” Wendy said. The boys were delighted. “We are your children.” said the twins.They all lowered their knees and held out their arms.“Oh, Wendy lady, please be our mother!” they cried in union.“I would love to,” said Wendy, “but you see I am only a little girl. I have no experience of being a mother.”“_______” said Peter. “We just need a nice motherly person.”“Oh, really?” Wendy said. “I think that is exactly what I am.’’“It is. It is!” they all cried.“Very well,” she said, “I will do my best. Come inside now you naughty children. I think there’s just enough time for me to finish the story of Cinderella before I put you to bed.”They went in, and that was the first of the many joyful evenings they had with Wendy. By and by she made them comfortable in the big bed in their home under the trees. But she herself slept that night in the little house. Peter kept watching outside with a sword(剑), because the pirates(海盗) could be heard drinking far away, and the wolves were going about for food. The little house looked very warm and safe in the darkness. After some time, Peter fell asleep, and all was still and quiet in the Neverland.(adapted from Peter Pan)29.Which of the following is the most suitable for the blank(空格)?A.It’s really a pity.B.It’s my pleasure.C.That doesn’t matter.D.I’m sorry to hear that.30.According to this passage, Peter is __________.A.polite and brave B.curious and creativeC.patient and practical D.modest and confident31.What can we learn from the passage?A.There was possible danger around the house.B.The children disliked the story told by Wendy.C.Peter fell asleep after he drove the pirates away.D.Wendy was unwilling to be the children’s mother.10Knowing that Mrs. Mallard suffered from a heart trouble, great care was taken to tell her as gently as possible the news of her husband’s death.It was her sister Josephine who told her, in broken sentences. Her husband’s friend Richards was there, too. He had been in the newspaper office when news of the railroad disaster was received, with Brently Mallard’s name leading the list of “killed”. He had only taken the time to make sure of its truth by a second telegram, and hurried to send the sad message.She did not hear the story as many women have heard the same. She wept at once, with wild abandonment (抛弃), in her sister’s arms. When the storm of sadness had spent itself she went away to her room alone.There stood, facing the open window, a comfortable armchair. Into this she sank, tired from a physical exhaustion that held her body and seemed to reach into her soul.She could see in the open square before her house the tops of trees that were all aquiver (颤抖的, 兴奋的) with the new spring life. The delicious breath of rain was in the air. The notes of a distant song which someone was singing reached her, and countless sparrows were twittering in the eaves (屋檐).There was something coming to her and she was waiting for it, fearfully. What was it? It was too hard to name. But she felt it, coming out of the sky, reaching toward her through the sounds, the smells, the color that filled the air.Now her chest rose and fell violently. She was beginning to recognize this thing that was approaching to possess her, and she was trying very hard to beat it back with her will. When she gave up trying, a little whispered word escaped her lips. She said it over and over under the breath: “free, free, free!”She did not stop to ask if it was extreme joy that held her. She knew that she would weep again when she saw the kind, gentle hands folded in death; the face that had never looked at her except with love, gray and dead. But she saw beyond that bitter moment many years to come that would belong to her absolutely. And she opened and spread her arms out to them in welcome.There would be no one to live for during those coming years; she would live for herself.There would be no powerful will against hers.And yet she had loved him—sometimes. What did it matter! What could love count for in the face of her new freedom.“Free! Body and soul free!” she kept whispering.Josephine was kneeling before the closed door with her lips to the keyhole. “Louise, open the door! I beg; open the door—you will make yourself ill.”“Go away. I am not making myself ill.”Her fancy (幻想) was running wild along those days ahead of her, all sorts of days that would be her own. She breathed a quick prayer that life might be long. It was only yesterday she had thought with a shake that life might be long.She stood up after a long time and opened the door to her sister’s begging. She carried herself unknowingly like a goddess of Victory. She held her sister’s waist, and together they walked down the stairs.Someone was opening the front door with a key, It was Brently Mallard who entered, a little travel-stained (风尘仆仆的), calmly carrying his suitcase and umbrella. He had been far from the scene of the accident, and did not even know there had been one, He stood amazed at Josephine’s sharp cry; at Richards’ quick motion to screen him from the view of his wife.When the doctors came, they said she had died of heart disease—of the joy that kills. 32.What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 7 indicate?A.Mrs. Mallard decided to fight back when her husband beat her.B.Mrs. Mallard was trying hard to fight against her heart trouble.C.Mrs. Mallard was struggling with the guilty feeling of happiness.D.Mrs. Mallard was extremely sad because of her husband’s death.33.What can we infer about Mr. Mallard?A.He was killed in a railroad disaster.B.He survived the railroad accident.C.He was unaware of what was going on.D.He hurried back to comfort his wife.34.What can we learn from Paragraph 14 “Her fancy…. might be long”?A.Mrs. Mallard was more afraid of her future life. B.Mrs. Mallard missed her husband very much. C.Mrs. Mallard always thought life was hopeful. D.Mrs. Mallard used to think life was hopeless. 35.What really killed Mrs. Mallard?A.The joy of seeing her husband coming back alive. B.The shock of losing her coming freedom.

Lai Shixiong,a respected English master from Taiwan, has a story to share.Like many nonnative speakers, Lai failed when he first started learning English. When he was in high school, he once got an unbelievably low mark of 7out of 100 on an English test. He almost gave up on English, but then he entered a military school (军校), where he met a classmate who was good at English.Amazed by his classmate's American accent, Lai decided to start learning English from the beginning. As he put it, “I saw myself as a baby who hadjust started to learn a language.” To correct his pronunciation, Lai practiced phonetic symbols(音标) hundreds of times every day using records.When he was able to pronounce words, Lai said he began to practice dialogues. Not being able to find someone to practice with, Lai created a learning atmosphere(氛围) on his own.“I just talked to myself as if I were ina dialogue,” he said.Lai also thought of ways to improve his skills. He used English to describe everything he saw. He even translated speeches when he went to class meetingsat the military school.

Sure. They have work to do. They have families to support. But these are only excuses. The fact is that they haven't got a reading habit. A reading habit isn't something natural. It needs to be trained. And it's never too late to develop a reading habit.Scientists believe proper books are very important for children to develop a good reading habit. A book in rich colours and with simple patterns(图案) such as lines and circles is a good choice for babies of three months old. When they reach six months, colours.When children get old enough to read by themselves, it's necessary to buy books that are both interesting and right for them to understand. Books which are either too easy or too difficult are not good for kids to keep their reading habits.Only buying books for children isn't enough. For kids, parents are their first teachers. So parents should read books to set an example. Children will follow them. Scientists say imitating the adults is a born skill. And it is the most valuable way for children to learn. This will certainly help them develop a reading habit in the end.()1. According to the writer, many adults seldom read because they ________.A. don't have enough timeB. have to work all the timeC. haven't got a reading habitD. have to support the family( )2.

We can learn from the passage that ________.A. story books are better than books in coloursC. a threemonthold kid likes simple storiesD. too easy books help keep a reading habitPassage 7(2018山西)Let children learn to judge(判断) their own work. A child doesn't learn to talk by being corrected all the time. If he is corrected too much, he will stop talking. He notices a thousand times a day the differences between the language he uses and the language others use. Little by little, he makes the necessary changes to make his language like other people's.In the same way, children learn to do all the other things without being taught— he would never notice a mistake unless it was pointed out to him, If it is a matter in math or science, give him the answer book. Let himcorrect his own papers. Why_should_we_teachers_waste_time_on_such_daily_work? Our job should be to help the children when they tell us that he can't find the way to get the right answer. Let the children learn what all educated persons must learn, how to measure(估量) their own understanding, how to know what they know or do not know.Let them get on with this job in their ways. School teachers can offer help if they ask for it. Some parents and teachers are worried that the children might fail to learn something that they will need to get in the world. Don't worry! If it is important, they will go out into the world and learn it.()1.

2018中考英语阅读理解专项训练及参考答案(名师出题考前专项训练+答案解析,建议考生下载练习)1Do you know how it is when you see someone yawn (打哈欠)and you start yawning too? Or how hard it is to be among people laughing and not laugh yourself? Well, obviously it's because we have mirror neurons (神经元)in our brains・Put simply, the presence of mirror neurons suggests that every time we see someone else do something, our brains model after it, whether or not we actually perform the same action. This explains a great deal about how we learn to smile, talk, walk, dance or play sports・ But the idea goes further: mirror neurons not only appear to explain physical actions, they also tell us that there is a biological basis for the way we understand other people・Mirror neurons can undoubtedly be found all over our brains, but especially in the areas which relate to our ability to use languages, and to understand how other people feel. Researchers have found that mirror neurons relate strongly to language. A group of researchers discovered that if they gave people sentences to listen to (for example: “The hand took hold of the ball”),the same mirror neurons were triggered as when the action was actually performed (in this example, actually taking hold of a ball).Any problems with mirror neurons may well result in problems with behavior. Much research suggests that people with social and behavioral problems have mirror neurons which are not fully functioning (彳亍使职责). However, it is not yet known exactly how these discoveries might help find treatments for social disorders.Research into mirror neurons seems to provide us with ever more information about how humans behave, communicate and spend time together. Indeed, it may turn out to be nearly the same important thing for neuroscience as what Einstein's theory of relativity (相对论)was for physics・ And the next time you have the strong feeling to cough in the cinema when someone else does 一well, perhaps you'll understand why.4& Mirror neurons can explain _____ ・A.why we cry when we are hurtB.why we cough when we catch a coldC・ why wc smile when wc see someone else smileD・ why we yawn when we see someone else get up late49.

They added up to two dollars and six and a quarter cents.The bill was paid, and the woman was satisfied. But the young storekeeper, not feeling quite sure about his calculations(计算), added up the things again. To his surprise, he found that it should have been two dollars. “I’ve made her pay six and a quarter cents more,” said young Abe, upset.It was an unimportant thing, and many salespersons would forget it, but Abe was too careful for that.The money must be paid back, he decided.At night, he closed the store and walked to the home of his customer. He explained the matter, paid over the six and a quarter cents, and returned satisfied.Here is another story of young Lincoln’s strict honesty. A woman entered the store and asked for half a pound of tea. The young man weighed it out. This was the last sale of the day.The next morning, when beginning his duties, Abe discovered a four-ounce weight on the scales(磅秤). It flashed upon him at once that he had used this in the sale last night, and so, of course, given his customer short weight. Many people would not have been much worried by this discovery. But Abe weighed out four ounces of the tea, shut up the store, and carried it to the customer.

初三英语2018年中考 阅读理解专题复习(含答案)
阅读理解(一)APeople in Los Angeles are known for their love of cars. The city is very large, and its public transportation is slow. So people drive everywhere. But now, a group of bicyclists are trying to get people out of their cars and on bikes.Devon Fitzgerald say s he has to be careful when he rides his bike in the streets. ―A lot of people are in a rush, and it's very difficult to keep careful, for they would rather care for their speed than your safety.‖ Although riding a bike to work can be dangerous, he prefers it to a car. ―It's much simpler than driving a car. For example, I don't have to worry about parking.‖Roger Rosas drives to work. "You always have to make sure you look to the other side because someone would rush across by bike. Or you can easily get into an accident. "To make bicycling safer, some people who live and work near each other are riding to work together, which they call a "bike train". Nona Varnado helped create the group L. A. Bike Trains. "You're in a big group. If you're afraid of riding alone, you can now ride with experienced riders.

Roger Rosas prefers riding a bike to driving a carD. people can easily get into an accident when riding togetherBI still remembered my first day of second grade. I was led to a room. No teacher yet. Girls talking. Boys trying to kill each other.I took some paper and a pencil, picked a desk, and went to work. Minutes later, a girl came over and sat on top of my desk.―What're you doing?‖ she said.―Writing to 100,‖ I replied.―Is that you can do?‖―No,‖ I said.Then I rose from my seat to get my pencil sharpener. I had no idea that when I stood, the desk would fall over and hurt her leg.Her name was Jane. From that day on--she was my best friend. Wherever we went--to school or church or basketball games, Jane saved me a seat or I saved one for her.Many years later, after college, I moved to California and married. Jane stayed in our hometown to be a social worker. We were friends for more than 50 years. After her death seven years ago, I still think of her often, especially at the start of the school year.TV ads try to tell us what children need for school—new shoes, clothes, backpacks. But really, children's needs are simple. Besides the basics—to be fed, cared for, and loved—they need the gift of friendship.For years, I feared how people saw me. But one day, I finally understood. I didn't need to be smart or pretty or popular. I just needed to be kind.My grandson Henry recently finished his preschool and received a prize for ―Friendship‖. Even an Olympic medal wouldn't make me prouder! I think children need to know that they are loved. They need to know that they have all they need and the best way to win friends is to be one.5. When she came into the classroom, the writer ________.A. went to talk with Jane quicklyB. helped Jane write the numbers to 100C. worked quietly at her desk aloneD. was afraid that others would fight with her6.

My Best Friend JaneB. How to Choose FriendsC. My First Day at SchoolD. Friendship ValuesCThe winter of 1948 was very difficult for our family of eight living in Knoxvile, Tennessee. Unfortunately, Dad became ill and soon was out of a job. I was only 8 years old and my younger brother, Buddy was 7. After school we went to pick coal(煤) that fell from the coal train along the railroad near our home. When the train slowed down, we ran alongside it. After the train passed, we picked up the fallen coal.One day, the train stopped for a short time unusually. My brother and I were digging around in the snow when the train's fireman came to the window and shouted to us, ―Why are you boys digging in the snow? Are you looking for gold?‖ he laughed.―No, sir,‖ I replied, ―We are finding coal.‖―Why doesn't your daddy buy coal? It's really dangerous here.‖―Our daddy is very sick and we have no money to buy food and coal,‖ I answered.The fire man turned and went inside. After a moment, he shouted again. ―Hey! Bring that coal bucket(桶子) here. I got something for you.‖ Then the fireman filled our bucket with clean coal. We were happy with his gift, and we knew we could go home early that day.He smiled the kindest and warmest smile I had ever seen. ―You two boys come here the day after tomorrow and I'll throw off some coal.‖Two days later, Buddy and I stood by the railroads as the train slowed down. The fireman waved to us, then disappeared. Suddenly, some coal and a piece of red cloth came out. In the red cloth were two pieces of bubble gum(泡泡糖) and a new one-dollar bill.All that winter, three days a week, we received a bucket of coal, a gift and, sometimes, money.I never knew the person's full name, but to our family, he was a guardian angel.9. The winter was very difficult for the family because____________.A. the weather was colder than everB. they couldn't afford food or coalC. the writer's father was paid a littleD. they couldn't get help from the government10.

The writer wrote the story mainly to____________.A. tell us to be hopeful in times of difficulty, no matter how bad it isB. remember a difficult time during his childhoodC. show a little kindness can make a great difference to people in needD. show how he and his brother helped his family out(二)Dear Sir or Madam.One of the teachers at my school in New York tells me that your school has summer course. I am planning to go to Beijing next summer and would like to take a short one-month course.I am 18 years old and have been studying Chinese for six years. I was born in the USA and have never been to China before. I am going to study Chinese at the university. I think the course will help me improve my Chinese.Could you send me a catalogue(目录) and application form (申请表)? I would also like information about Beijing and other places nearby. I hope to do some travelling when the course is over.Thank you! I am looking forward to your replyVery truly yours,Jim Green1. Jim Green is a student from_______. .A. AmericaB. ChinaC. CanadaD. Australia2. He was twelve yearsold when he started to_______.A. go to schoolB. learn ChineseC. study in ChinaD. travel in Beijing3. How many times has he been to China before?A. Once.B. Twice.C.

He will probably____ after the summer course.A. graduate from universityB. work in this schoolC. take a trip in BeijingD. post his application formMany kids do housework such as doing the dishes, making the bed, and folding the clothes.In exchange, they get some money or other computer time.Paying kids for housework is one of the most popular topics, especially at a time when everyone is more careful about money. Some parents think since adults are paid to do their jobs, we should pay kids for everyday housework.But some people don't think kids should get rewards(报酬) for doing housework. Susie Walton, an expert, believe that by rewarding kids, parents are sending a message that work isn't worth doing unless you get something in return. ―Running any kind of housework is a team effort,‖ Walton said. ―A home is a living space for everyone in the family. It's important for kids to see that we all have responsibilities in the house, and families decide how they want their home to look, and how they are going to keep it looking like what they want.‖Other people believe that getting a reward encourages kids to do housework, and it also teaches them real world lessons about how we need to work to get money. There are also apps(程序) that gives kids points and digital gifts that can be redeemed(兑现) either online or in the real world. ―Our goal is to give kids lawful power so they can get rewards,‖ says Chris Bergman. ―And kids need rewards to help encourage them. ‖6. Which of the following housework is NOT mentioned in Paragraph 1?A. Washing the dishes.B. Cooking meals.C. Folding the clothes.D. Making the bed.7.

Which is the best title for the passage?A. Kids Should Study as Well as Doing HouseworkB. Let Children Do Some HouseworkC. Should Kids Be Rewarded for Doing HouseworkD. Doing Housework Is Good for Children's StudyCLast summer I went to one of the world's most famous historical places, the Forbidden City in Beijng, China. It was the home of the emperors of the last two dynasties (朝代) in China, the Ming and Qing Dynasties.The Forbidden City was built in 1420. The palace has over 10,000 rooms. It was where the emperors dealt with the official business with their ministers.In Mandarin, The Forbidden City is called the Purple Forbidden City. However, the color of the palace itself is not purple. The color purple stands for power of the great emperors of China. It was so sacred(神圣的) that the commoners could not even dream of ever going in.The emperors also had some of the largest festival celebrations at the Forbidden City. During Chinese New Year, the emperor would invite all the members of his family and his officials to a banquet. The banquet had a hundred and eight Chinese dishes. It was such an expensive banquet that it could feed a commoner's family for three generations(代).Right now The Forbidden City is known as a historical site for tourists from all over the world. Everyone can go in there. It is a museum with priceless Chinese antiques (古董) and treasures in it.I really learned a lot about the Chinese culture and its history from this trip to The Forbidden City. It was like a dream come true to go on the trip and see the things that I have always wanted to see.11. How long is the history of the Forbidden City?A. About 600 years.B. More than 600 years.C. 1,420 years.D. Over 10,000 years.12.

Not only is she a high school student, but she has also set up her own organization, Beary Merry Christmas. She volunteers(自愿)to serve poor kids and families in Orange Country in California, US.To remember her best friend who died of cancer nearly 10 years ago, Fredette decided to serve those in Orange Country who are less lucky than she is.She began with the simple idea of collecting donated(捐赠的)Build-A-Bears,the popular toy animal that is made by children themselves in the stores' workshops. Fredette then gave them as gifts to the homeless children in California during the holiday season.With donations at more than 100 bears a year, Fredette and volunteers host activities every year, where volunteers not only give out the bears, but also clothing, meals, and other things.Not wanting to limit(限制)the giving to just the holiday months, Fredette now hosts other activities for Valentine's Day, Mother's Day and Halloween, providing the chance for her volunteerteam to make a difference through the year.―I love making relationships with the people I serve,‖ Fredette said. ―The thanks they have, hearing their stories and seeing how happy they are, it's so cool.‖Future plans for Fredette include building a public food bank and providing aself-development class for students in her school who will soon attend college.Heading to college herself in the fall, Fredette is looking to stay local and continue to help out i n her hometown. In fact, she was regarded as a ―Dreamer & Doer‖ not long ago for her work in improving her community, along with 32 other high school students.4.

It holds one activity a year.B. It offers service around America.C. It buys bears from the stores.D. It gives out other things besides bears.6. It can be inferred(推断)that Fredette .A. likes telling people storiesB. dreams of being a teacherC. is pleased with what she doesD. plans to leave California for college7. What can be the best title for the passage?A. Giving back to societyB. Getting on well with othersC. Providing a food bankD. Improving community collegesCMore Chinese universities are opening their libraries to the public, allowing people to enjoy reading during normal time and the vacations.But for some students, including Wang Ling, 21, in Sun Yat-sen University, this practice has caused headaches. ―Members of the public come to our libraries more for sightseeing than reading,‖ said Wang.―They sometimes even b ring their kids along, and take photos as if it were a place of interest.‖Wang has found it hard to get a seat during busy times. Being short of space is a common problem for university libraries in China.However, this is not the only reason why students dislike their libraries being open to members of the public. They fear that the quietness of the libraries will be influenced because of visitors' rude behavior.Chen Jie, 18, a student in Tongji University, is one who would be against opening to the publ ic. ―I have been to a public library before. People were chatting loudly or speaking on cell phone so you can hardly read,‖ Chen said. She notices teachers doing serious reading and feels their concentration(专注)has influenced her. ―If too many strangers st ay here, the whole library will be a noisy place and it's difficult for us to study quietly,‖ she said.Will there be alternative(可替代的)ways to share those libraries? Some experts consider that university libraries can prevent the public from entering certa in areas. ―We might keep magazines for academic research only for teachers and students,‖ said Zhu Lina, library director in Jinan University.Working together with the community library is another solution. ―It's possible that a member of the public can order a book in our library over the Internet,‖ Ge Jianxiong, the library director in Fudan University said. ―We'll send it to a public libraries close to their home.‖8. We can see from the passage that Wang Ling .A. hates to study in the libraryB. prefers sightseeing to readingC. feels good to play with kidsD. is a university student aged 219. In Chen Jie's opinion, visitors to university libraries may .A. take up too much spaceB. break the peace thereC. make teachers relaxedD. get students to read more10. The writer mentions two libraries directors' words to help explain how to .A. manage libraries onlineB. keep the public politeC. share university librariesD. do scientific research11. Where is the passage most probably taken from?A. A newspaper.B. A library guide.C. A story book.D. A notice board.DHave you ever seen a car without a driver? It sounds crazy, but these computer-driven driverless cars will soon be filling roads near you. Companies like Google and Tesla have been designing and testing these cars, and the technology is there.So how? The cars have sensors(感应器)all around which can find other cars and objects in the road. Road signs are read by cameras, and satellite navigation systems(卫星导航系统)are used so the car knows how to get where you want to go. All you have to do is type in the address! Finally, a central computer system takes in all the information that it receives from the sensors and cameras and works out when to speed up, stop and turn.Sound like your idea of heaven(天堂)? Sitting back, looking out of the windows and even watching a film or reading a book while ‗driving' would be possible with this new technology. You wouldn't have to worry about remembering directions to where you're going. In addition, computers would also drive more safely than people — they would obey the rules and have quicker action times when in dangerous situations.However, there are many drawbacks of driverless cars. Computers would have difficulties making ethical(道德的)decisions: if a child ran into the road, would the computer choose to hit the child or turn suddenly and potentially kill the car's passengers? Moreover, I personally find driving fun –I'd miss never driving a car myself. There would also be many other decisions to be made –should children, or drunk people, be allowed in a driverless car by themselves? Or would there need to be a person with a driving license in the car at all times?I'm not certain I'd want a driverless car – but it's only a matter of time before they'll become more affordable and popular on our roads.12. When using a driverless car, you need only .A. read the road signs carefullyB. check the camerasC. put the address into the computerD. remember the directions13. The third paragraph mainly tells us about the of driverless cars.A. instructionsB. standardsC. advantagesD. tests14. The underlined word ―potentially‖ in Paragraph 4 means ――.A. possiblyB. successfullyC. especiallyD. naturally15. What's the writer's opinion about future driverless cars?A. They'll cause more accidents.B. They'll be less expensive.C. They'll use less energy.D. They'll run much faster.(四)ALast year, I went to Beijing Qizhi Special Education School for community service(社区服务).Before we took the bus, my friend asked me a question, ―Why are you here?‖ I did not know how to answer the question.The school was not far from my school, but it looked like it was in a different world. A group of children were waiting for us. A boy walked toward me. He held my hands and pulled me to the ground. I kissed the earth and tasted nature.I could not understand what he was doing at first, then I was very angry. Though I was very angry, I controlled my anger.A teacher stopped this awkward(尴尬的)silence when she shouted at the boy. ―What are you doing right here, right now?‖ she said. ―You w ill never see your mom again if you keep doing this. Now, say sorry!‖ ―Sorry,‖ he cried fearfully and nervously. I said nothing, but I realized something about t his child. After lunch I asked the teacher for information about the child's parents.She said that the child was very different from other students because of an illness. His family could not afford to treat him. He needed the kindness of his family, but they had abandoned him. So he depended on the supportfrom the teachers and community service workers like us.I suddenly realized I could answer the question my friend asked me at the beginning of the day.Community service workers help others and make everyone feel better. There are so many people in the world that need help. Playing with lonely children may not make a big difference. But it can light a corner in the children's hearts, making them know they are loved by people.1. How did the writer reach Beijing Qizhi Special Education School?A. By train.B. By car.C. By bus. C. By taxi.2. Why did the writer get angry?A. Because a boy held the writer's hands.B. Because the writer did not like to taste nature.C. Because a boy pushed the writer to the ground.D.

The underlined word ―abandoned‖ most probably means ―_______‖.A. hurtB. leftC. soldD. forgotten5. From the passage we can learn that the writer __________.A. helped so many people in the worldB. played with the lonely boy after lunchC. learned the meaning of community serviceD. wasn't good at answering the questions about community serviceBThe Silk Road is the name of different roads that long ago connected Europe, Africa and Asia. People reached these different places along these roads. Scientists believe people began to travel the Silk Road about 3,000 years ago. By the time the Chinese silk trade became important in the world, the Silk Road covered almost 6,500 kilometers. It spread from Rome to China, which is from the West to the Far East.Traders travelling along the Silk Road carried silk, of course. They also carried and traded spices(香料),cloth, valuable stones and gold.There is a famous old story along the old road. It is said that Roman soldiers(士兵)travelled through central Asia. They started to live somewhere near the ancient Chinese village of Liqian. Some of these Romans married local Chinese women and the story of blue-eyed villages of China was started.During its busiest period, the Silk Road allowed people from many different cultures andcountries to meet each other and mix. The Silk Road allowed the sharing of valuable goods and new ideas. These included people and trading goods from the Mediterranean, Persian, Magyar, Armenian, Bactrian, Indian and Chinese areas. All these peoples travelled the Silk Road, and they shared goods, stories, languages, and cultures.In modern times, the old Silk Road routes(路线)are still used, but now they are crossed by trains instead of camels and horses. There is even a Silk Route Museum in Jiuquan in China. It has over 35,000 objects from all along the Silk Road. In this way, China protects the history of many countries and peoples.6. How many kilometers did the Silk Road cover?A. About 3,000.B. Nearly 6,500.C. Almost 2,000.D. Over 35,000.7. Traders carried all kinds of goods along the Silk Road.

The Silk Road allowed people from different countries to mix.C. Ancient Chinese along the Silk Road may be able to speak different languages.D. The objects in the museum in Jiuquan in China are from all along the Silk Road.10. Which part of a magazine can this passage come from?A. History and Geography.B. Sports World.C. Man and Animals.D. Popular Science.CWe often face the following situations in our daily life:●The woman next door plays her piano after 12 o'clock at night.●The family across the street never cleans up their yard.

He had never acted on stage(舞台)before, and he was very excited. But some students laughed at him. “You are not funny but silly,” Ken, one of his classmates, said to his face. “No one will like what you do,” another boy also said to him, loudly.Brian couldn't understand why they were so unkind to him. For a moment, he thought about giving up the show. But he remembered how much his friends liked his jokes, and also his teachers said he was very funny. So he decided to prepare for the show.Brian did a great job at the talent show. Everyone loved his performance, and he won the first prize! His teachers and friends were proud of him.

Recently there has been a report about a woman from Australia who can remember almost every detail(细节) of all the events in her daily life.Rebecca Sharrock, 25, is one of just 80 people worldwide who have been indentified(确定) as having Highly Superior Autobiographical Memory (HSAM,超级自传体记忆症). It means she can remember every small event—which mostpeople would forget within(在……以内) days—as if it had happened just minutes ago.“I remember my mum putting me in the driver's seat of a car and taking a picture of me when I was 12 days old,”she said. “That's my earliest memory. I remember every day since then. I can't tell all the dates exactly because I was too young to understand calendars, but I remember what I did that very day, what the weather was like and so on.”Rebecca can also reexperience taste. If she's eating something that she doesn't like, she thinks about Black Forest cake, her favorite food, and the memory will be so strong that she can nearly “taste” it.However, sometimes her memories prove(证明) to be painful. Because they're not just events that she remembers. “When I relive(再体验) memories, the feelings return, too,” Rebecca said.“For example, I remember falling over when I was three at my grandparents' house and hurting my left knee. Talking about it now, I feel painful in my left knee.”“At night, I have to sleep with the radio/recorder and a soft light on,”she added. “If it's too dark or quiet, my mind would be filled with all these memories and I can't sleep.”【】1、Which is NOT TRUE about Rebecca?A、She has special memories.B、She is from Australia.C、She is 25 years old.D、She can remember every detail of all the events.【】2、What happened to Rebecca on the day when she was 3 years old?A、She was identified as having HSAM.B、Her mother put her in a car and took a picture of her.C、She started to understand calendars.D、She hurt her left knee at her grandparents'.【】3、Whenever she is reliving her memories, ________.A、she is happyB、she experiences the feelings againC、she feels pain in her kneesD、she can taste her favorite food【】4、What is the result of having HSAM?A、She can remember every event in her daily life.B、She can reexperience taste.C、She can relive feelings.D、All the above.【】5、From the passage, we can infer(推断)that________.A、HSAM can do her good, but it also brings her painB、she feels painful if she recalls her experiencesC、she can fall asleep while she is reexperiencing memoriesD、HSAM can greatly improve her living conditionsPassage 5Carlton Joseph is a fashion designer(服装设计师), but not just any fashion designer. He appears on television, he writes books, and he owns his own fashion house.Born in 1980, Carlton started designing clothes when he was eleven. His father owned a clothes store, and Carlton used to work there at the weekend. Then he did a design course at college.When he was 21, someone suggested doing a TV program. He made his first show “Carlton's Clothes” in 2004, and he wrote his first book in the same year. Since then he has written four more. Carlton got married to TV producer Susan Mills in 2005.Three months ago, Carlton started his new company. He called it “Design: Carlton”.At work Carlton always wears black trousers and a black coat, but at home, or when he goes out, he wears clothes with bright colors(red, blue and yellow). He is especially crazy about new glasses, he buys a new pair every few weeks. “I liketo look different every day,” he says.Carlton started wearing glasses when he was twelve. He dyed(给……染色) his hair red when he was 18. It is still red, and this year, for the first time, he has grown a beard. “My wife likes it,_that's why” is his explanation.

Most readers know that his real name was Samuel Longhorne Clemens, but how many know where the pen name “Mark Twain” came from?The answer shows Clemens' colourful early life before he became a writer. “Mark Twain” was the cry shouted on a ship when the ship entered a part of a river that was two fathoms(6 feet)deep. “Twain” is an oldfashioned way of saying “two”. Twain trained as a ship pilot on the Mississippi river for two years, a time that he wrote about in the humorous Life on the Mississippi(1883).The famous river would become an important theme in many of his works—who could forget the journey of Huck and Jim along it in his most famous book, The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn(1884)?With little education, he had to teach himself how to write stories. Whenever possible, he would go to public libraries. There he spent much time reading and thinking, which greatly helped him with his writing.On the other hand, his life experiences gave him wonderful material to write about and attract readers. Twain wrote in a style that has been called “local colour” because it shows great knowledge of local people and their customs.This gift is very clear in the two books for which Twain is still celebrated today:The Adventures of Tom Sawyer(1876) and its followup The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, which many people call “The Great American Novel”.The most amazing invention in the book is the voice of Huck himself. Huck did not enjoy schooling. It shows in the way he uses language, in a spoken style. Only a master like Twain could copy the way a young southern boy talked so well.【】1、What does the underlined word “gift” mean in the passage?A、Twain's talent for selfteaching.B、Twain's “local colour” writing style.C、Twain's good sense of humour.D、Twain's experiences as a ship pilot.【】2、According to the passage, what is the best part of The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn?A、The deep social meaning.B、The exciting life experiences.C、The special way that Huck talks.D、The nice view of the Mississippi.【】3、Which is the most suitable place in the passage for the sentence, “Twain did not come from the writer's background you might expect.”?A、At the beginning of Paragraph 2.B、At the beginning of Paragraph 3.C、At the beginning of Paragraph 4.D、At the beginning of Paragraph 5.【】4、What is the passage mainly about?A、Mark Twain's career as a great writer.B、Mark Twain's interest in describing local life.C、Mark Twain's achievements in American literature field.D、Mark Twain's life experiences which influenced his writing.Passage 7Rachel Carson(19071964) was a pioneer of the world's environmental movement through her writing about the protection of the natural world. Her 1962 book Silent Spring made her well known by many people. It describes the harmful changes in the environment of using toxic(有害的) chemicals on farmland.Carson's career started as a biologist in the US Bureau of Fisheries. ln 1951 she published her first book, The Sea Around Us, which became a bestseller. It made her rich enough to leave her job and devote her life to writing. She was a gifted writer. Her next two books were also about the oceans and both topped the book sales lists.Carson's book Silent Spring completely changed the way America thought about nature. It painted a bleak(荒凉的) future for the whole natural world. It led to a nationwide ban(禁止) on the use of a deadly chemical called DDT, and other toxic pesticides(农药) that farmers used for their crops. Many people say the book led to the creation of America's Environmental Protection Agency.Since her death, Carson's name has continued to be connected with protecting the environment. There is now a yearly Rachel Carson Book Prize. Norway awards the Rachel Carson Prize to women who have made great contributions to the field of environmental protection. In 1980, 16 years after her death, she was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom, the highest civilian honour in America.【】1、What happened to Rachel Carson in 1962?A、She started to write books.B、She gave up working as a biologist.C、Her book The Sea Around Us sold well.D、Her book Silent Spring made her famous.【】2、What most probably made Rachel Carson leave her job?A、She got an award.B、She published Silent Spring.C、The Sea Around Us brought her enough money.D、The US government took notice of her researches.【】3、Why is the book Silent Spring important to America's environmental protection?A、It describes a silent spring.B、It topped the book sales lists.C、It changed how America thought about nature.D、It includes all Carson's research achievements.【】4、What does the underlined word “It” in Paragraph 3 mean?A、The book Silent Spring.B、The way America thought.C、The US Bureau of Fisheries.D、America's Environmental Protection Agency.【】5、Why was Rachel Carson awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom?A、She published the book Silent Spring.B、She did a lot of researches for the US Bureau of Fisheries.C、She donated much money to the Rachel Carson Book Prize.D、She made great contributions to the environmental protection.【参考答案】专项训练一人物故事Passage 1【主旨大意】本文是一篇记叙文。

"The fire's warming you.""But it's half a mile away!" said the sailor."A fire's fire," answered the captain. "I have won."The sailor came out of the water, and said, "Perhaps you think that you are clever because you have won my wages, but you can't cook a chicken.""I can," answered the captain."If you cook this chicken," said the sailor, "I shall work for you without wages for seven years, but if you can't, you will give me your ship."The captain agreed, took the chicken and said, "Where's the fire?""There it is," answered the sailor.“On the shore.”"But it's half a mile away," said the captain angrily."

For a long time. my father has been a very vague figure(模糊形象)to me.He was a man of few words, tall but slim and nothing else.When I was in primary school. my father was never there to pick inc up, and he never came to any of my parent-teacher meetings. He was always busy doing projects. I remember when I was in middle school and my head was badly hurt in a PE class. During my operation. my father was nowhere to be found. This hurt me most. At that moment, I considered my Father as a cold-blooded man who did not care about me at all.But things seemed different at my high school graduation ceremony. where I was chosen to represent my class and give a speech. My father, once again, told me he had a business trip in a place outside the city and would be unable to showup(露⾯)‘"Don't come. I will be my nervous if I see you.”I told him.I remember my speech went smoothly.

It was my father!I was so surprised that I rushed to him with tears(眼泪)running down my face."Well done," he said. His eyes were also filled with tears.Later, I found out that my father had managed to finish his work by staying up late, and he drove for eight hours to get back. He had been sitting in the corner because he didn't want me to see him. My father remembered every word in my speech.For much of my life. I described my father was a cold-blooded man who only cared about his work. But when I thought deeply about this, it was obviously(明显地)not true. At my graduation ceremony I could feel my father's deep love.

中考英语记叙文阅读理解This is a tale of two friends --- one is blind, the other has no arms. On their own, the two are “disabled”. But together, they are a powerful team that has changed part of their village in North China’s Hebei Province into a rich, green forest. Do you kno w the story of 53-year-old Jia Haixia and Jia Wenqi?Their story began in 2000, when Haixia, who was already blind in his right eye, lost his left one after an illness. Wenqi lost his arms in an accident when he was just three. Neither of them could find a job, so the two decided to team up. They rented some poor land and began to plant trees. In return, the local officials paid them a small fee. Haixia and Wenqi never imagined that they would end up creating an environmental paradise. Their forest now has over 10,000 trees, hundreds of birds and many other wild animals. In addition, it saves the village from river flooding during the rainy season. When the friends work together, they focus on their strengths not their disabilities. Their day begins at 7 a.m. when the sightless Haixia carries Wenqi across the river to get to their worksite. Since they cannot afford to buy young trees to plant, the two use branches from existing trees. Haixia climbs to the tree-top and with Wenqi’s direction, selects the perfect branch. He then digs a hole and carefully plants it. Finally Wenqi waters the area.Though hard-working, the men don’t make much money. But as Wenqi puts it, “We stand on our own feet, so the fruits of our work taste sweeter.”Neither Haixia nor Wenqi cares about money. Together, they already have everything they need --- a perfect pair of eyes, two strong hands, and the best friendship in the world!1.What can we learn from this story?A.

Why do Haixia and Wenqi plant tree branches?A. They are easy to get.B. They do not cost money.C. They can grow very quickly.D. They are preferred by animals.5.
