One of my father’s friends, Bernie, was a rich businessman, who owned a large store in St. Paul.Every summer, when the first watermelons arrived, Bernie would call. Dad and I would go to Bernie’s place. We’d sit on the edge of the dock（码头）, feet dangling（摇晃）, and got ready for a big meal.Bernie would take his knife, cut our first watermelon, hand us both a big piece and sit down next to us. Then we’d bury our faces in watermelon, eating only the heart—the reddest, juiciest, firmest, sweetest, most seed-free part—and throw away the rest.Bernie was my father’s idea of a rich man. I always thought it was because he was such a successful businessman. Years later, I realized that it was not Bernie’s wealth itself but his way of dealing with it that my father liked. Bernie knew how to stop working, get together with friends and eat only the heart of the watermelon.What I learned from Bernie is that being rich is a state of mind. Some of us, no matter how much money we have, will never be free enough to eat only the heart of the watermelon. If you don’t take the time to dangle your feet over the dock and enjoy life’s small pleasure, your work is probably hurting your life.For many years, I forgot that lesson I’d learned as a kid on the loading dock. I was too busy making all the money I could.Well, I’ve relearned it. I hope I have time left to enjoy the success of others and to take pleasure in the day. That’s the heart of the watermelon. I have learned again to throw t he rest away.1. We learned from the second paragraph that the writer and his father were feeling ______.A. relaxedB. worriedC. hungryD. proud2. How did the writer and his father eat the watermelon?A. They ate it in a polite way.B. They only ate its best part.C. They ate every part of it.D. They shared only one piece.3. In the eyes of the writer’s father, Bernie ______.A. was just a rich businessmanB. worked hard all the timeC. lived a rich but healthy lifeD. knew how to make money4. The underlined part “the heart of the watermelon” in the last paragraph refers to ______.A. the best part of the watermelonB. the writer’s busy lifeC. the writer’s decision of making moneyD. the writer’s hope of enjoying life5. It can be learned from the passage that ______.A. one has to work hard to reach his goalB. a friend in need is a friend in deedC. watermelon is the healthiest fruitD. one should keep work-life balance答案：ABCDD2Paul and Jason were brothers who lived and worked on neighboring farms.For 35 years they farmed side by side, sharing machinery and goods as needed, without a single proble.

Then, Paul, with tears in his eyes, said to the builder who was packing his bag to go, “Thank you so much.

They fought hard to drive the enemy out of Scotland，but there were too many Romans. It looked as if the Romans would win.One night，the leader of Scots marched his soldiers to the top of a hill. “We will rest here tonight，my men,”he said. “Tomorrow we will fight one more battle. We must win or we will die.”They were all very tired，so they ate their supper quickly and fell asleep. There were four guards on duty，but they，too，were very tired，and one by one，also fell asleep.The Romans were not asleep. Quickly they gathered at the foot of the hill. Slowly they climbed up the hillside，taking care not to make a sound. Closer and closer they came to the sleeping Scots. They were almost at the top. A few minutes more，the war would be over. Suddenly，one of them put his foot on a thistle(蓟). He cried out and his sudden cry woke the Scots. In a moment，they were on their feet and ready for battle. The fighting was hard but it did not last long. The Scots wiped out the Romans and saved their country.The thistle is not a beautiful plant. It has sharp needles all over it. Few people like it.

Mr White, an officer of forty, was strict with them and he hardly let them leave the camp.Once Mr White was ill in bed. He couldn’t work and a young officer, Mr Hunt began to train the new soldiers instead of him. He knew the young men well and let nine soldiers go to the nearest town to have a holiday. But night fell and none came back to the camp. He was worried about it and stood at the gate. It was five to twelve when Mr Hunt decided to go to the town and see what was happening to the young men. He started the car quickly and set off. At that moment the ninesoldiers came back. It seemed they drank wine. Of course they found the officer was angry.“I’m sorry, sir,” said the first soldier. “I left the town on time. But something was wrong with my bus on my way here.I had to buy a horse and made it run fast. Bad luck! It died and I had to run back.”And the other seven soldiers said they were late for the same reasons. It was the last soldier’s turn. He said, “I’m sorry, sir. I got on a bus on time, but…”Having heard this, the officer became even angrier and stopped him at once.

There are only a few men in all of history, who have changed the lives of other men as much as the inventor of the first useful electric light. But Edison could never be pleased only because someone said he was a genius. “There is no such thing as genius,” Edison said. He thought what people called genius was mostly hard work.But Edison was a dreamer as well as a worker. From his earliest days as a child he wondered about the secrets of nature. He tried to understand them, and then he tried to learn what he could usefully do with them.Edison enjoyed thinking. He knew that most people would do almost anything instead of the difficult work of thinking, especially if they do not think very often. But he knew, too, that thinking could give men enjoyment and pleasure.Edison could not understand how anyone could not be interested in life. As he loved to think, he also loved to work. On the day he became 75 years old, someone asked him what idea he had about life. “Work,” he answered, “Discovering the secrets of nature and using them to make men happier.” He said he had enough inventions in his mind to give him another 100 years of work.1.According to Thomas Edison, what’s genius?A.Hard thinking.B.Hard work.eful dreams.eful inventions.2.After exploring the secrets of nature, Edison always tried to .A.write down what he had learntB.carry out a new experimentC.make them useful in lifeD.share them with others3.Edison could not understand .A.how anybody enjoyed lifeB.how anybody loved workingC.why anybody loved thinkingD.why anybody was tired of life4.The last sentence in the passage means that .A.Edison was born to be a great inventorB.Edison was able to live another 100 yearsC.Edison was ready to make his 100 th inventionD.life was too short for Edison to work for human beings答案：BCDD9I’ve loved my mother’s desk since I was just tall enough to see above the top of it as mother sat doing letters. Standing by her chair, looking at the ink bottle, pens, and white paper, I decided that the act of writing must be the more wonderful thing in the world.Years later, during her final illness, mother kept differen t things for my sister and brother. “But the desk,” she’d said again, “it’s for Elizabeth. ”I never saw her get angry, never saw her cry. I knew she loved me; she showed it in action. But as a young girl, I wanted heart-to-heart talks between mother and daughter.They never happened. And a gulf opened between us. I was “too emotional(易动感情的)”. But she lived “on the surface(表面)”.As years passed I had my own family. I loved my mother and thanked her for our happy family. I wrote to her in careful words and asked her to let me know in any wayshe chose that she did forgive(原谅) me.I posted the letter and waited for her answer. None came.My hope turned to disappointment(失望), then little interest and, finally, peace— it seemed that nothing happened. I couldn’t be sure that the letter had even got to mother. I only knew that I had written it, and I could stop trying to make her into someone she was not.Now the present of her desk told, as she’d never been able to, that she was pleased that writing was my chosen work. I cleaned the desk carefully and found some papers inside —a photo of my father and a one-page letter, folded(折叠) and refolded many times.Give me an answer, my letter asks, in any way you choose. Mother, you always chose the act that speaks louder than words.1.

On Christmas Eve when Paul came out of his office, a street urchin(顽童) was walking around the shining car. “Is this your car, sir?” he asked.Paul answered, “Yes, my brother gave it to me for Christmas.” The boy was surprised. “You mean your brother gave it to you and it did cost you nothing? Sir, I wish…” He hesitated(犹豫). Paul thought of course he knew what the boy wanted, but what the boy said surprised him greatly. “I wish,” the boy went on, “that I could be a brother like that.” Paul looked at the boy in surprise, and then he said again, “Would you like to take a ride in my car?” “Oh yes, I’d love to,” the boy answered.After a short ride, the boy turned and with his eyes shining, said, “Sir, would you mind driving in front of my house?”Paul smiled a little. He thought he knew what the boy wanted. He wanted to show his neighbors that he could ride home in a big car. But Paul was wrong again. “Will you stop where those two steps are?” the boy asked.He ran up to the steps. Then in a short while Paul heard him coming back, but he was not coming fast. He was carrying his little crippled(残疾的) brother. He sat down on the step and pointed to the car.“There he is, Buddy, just like I told you upstairs. His brother gave it to him for Christmas and it didn’t cost him a cent. And some day I’m going to give you one just like it…then you can see for yourself all the nice things in the Christmas windows that I’ve been trying to tell you about.”Paul got out and lifted the boy to the front seat of his car.

Just tell me how much it costs.”A well-dressed man heard it and asked, “What kind of a miracle does your brother need?”“I don’t know,” she answered with her eyes full of tears. “He’s really sick and mum says he needs an opera tion. But my daddy can’t pay for it, so I have brought all my money.”“How much do you have?” asked the man. “$ 1.11, but I can try and get some more,” she answered.“Well, what luck,” smiled the man. “$ 1.11, the price of a miracle for little brothers.”He took up the girl’s hand and said, “Take me to where you live. I want to see your brother and meet your parents. Let’s see if I have the kind of miracle you need.”That well-dressed man was Dr Carlton Armstrong, a famous doctor.

Then he said to the three hundred students, “Who would like this ¥100 bill?” The students began to put up their ha nds at once.Then he said, “I am going to give this ¥100 to one of you, but first, let me do this.” He then made the bill into a ball. Then he said, “Who wants it now?” The hands went back into the air.“Well,” he said, “What if I do this?” and he dropped it on the floor and stepped on it. He picked up the dirty, crumpled bill and said, “Who still wants it?” Hands went back into the air.“My friends,” he said, “you have learned a valua ble lesson today. No matter (无论) what I did to the money, you still wanted it because it did not go down in value (价值). It was still worth ¥ l00!”Many times in our lives, we are dropped, crumpled, and stepped on by the chances we take and the things that happen to us. We feel as if we are worth nothing. But remember, no matter what has happened to you, you will never lose your value: you are always valuable to those people who love you. Your value doesn’t come from what you do or whom you know, but WHO YOU ARE.。

All living things must have water to survive. Without water, your body would stop working. Water makes up more than half of your body weight.A person can’t survive for more than a few days without it. Why? Your body has lots of important jobs and it needs water to do many of them. For instance,your blood, which contains a lot of water, carries oxygen to all the cells of your body. Without oxygen your body would stop working.Your body doesn’t get water only from drinking water. But water and milk are the best choices. Other sports drinks, soda, pop, or a fruit-flavored drink,are not good for every day. Why? They have a lot of sugar, which means a lot of calories. But water has no calories! These sweet drinks also may lack the vitamins and minerals found in milk. Lots of foods contain water. Fruit and vegetables contain water, too.Since water is so important, you might wonder if you’re drinking enough. I n fact, we can’t tell how much water that kids need to drink every day. Usually, kids like to drink something with meals and should certainly drink when theyare thirsty. But when it’s warm or you’re having exercise, you’ll need more. Be sure to drink some extra water when you’re out in warm weather, especially while playing sports.When you drink is also important. If you’re going to sports practice, a game, or just working out or playing hard, drink water before, during, and after playing.or playing hard, drink water before, during, and after playing.( )36.

He was a new player in 2009, and had already served the New York Jets. One day, the football team called him to be back again. But Fitzhugh refused.“I know it would be a good chance,” Fitzhugh said. “But you only get one mom and one dad. I’d rather be there for my parents than go for a sup er star chance.”Fitzhugh knows that his time with the Jets could last as little as a few weeks. Though he loves football, supporting his family is more important to him. He was unemployed by Jets for months after his last time on the football field. Now he has a steady job as a railway conductor which his parents hope him to have. He lives with his family and helps to support his mother and father.The family is close-especially since the death of Fitzhugh’s younger sister. She died from the West Nile Virus at the age of 14, just as Fitzhugh was starting college.“That’s why I’m so strong about being around family now,” Fitzhugh said. “Life is short. You never know what will happen. When I was unemployed, my family was there for me. I don’t want to take a risk. I don’t want to lose anything more important for my family again.” For this football player, family comes first.。

Early in 2017 Professor Craig E．Smith published a study.He and his workmates chose 48 children between four and nine years of age.They told the kids a story about a boy or girl doing something wrong，such as taking a classmate's toy or candy，and then either lying about the wrongdoing to a parent or confessing (承认) it.In each case，they asked the children，“How would the child feel？How would the mother feel？”The children's answers were generally divided according to age, which is in agreement with the above research, showing a gradual growth of moral understanding in early childhood. More of the four-to-five-year olds thought the child in the story would feel better keeping the stolen candy，lying and getting unpunished.They imagined the parent in the study would be angry with the child who confessed.However，the seven-to-nine-year-olds were more likely (可能的) to think the child would feel better confessing the crime and that the parent would have positive (积极的) feelings towards a confessor.Smith says, “Kids of all ages who expect that a pa rent would feel happy about a child's confession are more likely to tell the truth rather than lie.Reward the honesty even if you feel you must punish the wrong action.”He adds，what parents can learn from these studies is to listen calmly withoutgetting angry right away when their child confesses.()1、What does the underlined word“denial”in Paragraph 1 mean?A．委屈B．责备C．否认D．拒绝()2、Paragraph 2 mainly tells us______.A．kids can't tell“right”from“wrong”B．it takes time for kids to learn to tell the truthC．it's wrong to punish kids for telling the truthD．all the kids are willing to confess to a bad act()3、What did Smith and his workmates find in their study?A．Older kids are more likely than younger children to confess to a bad act.B．Younger children are more likely than older kids to confess to a bad act.C．The four-to-five-year-olds would feel better confessing the crime.D．The seven-to-nine-year-olds thought parents would be angry with their confessions.()4、According to Professor Smith，what can parents learn from these studies?A．Parents should at once punish the children who lied.B．Parents should tell children the wrongness of lying.C．Parents should never get angry after their children's confessions.D．Parents should show positive feelings about their children's confessions.()5、What does the passage mainly talk about?A．Children often like making mistakes when they are young.B．A research about 48 children between four and nine years of age.C．Reward the honesty even if you feel you must punish the wrong action.D．How the parents treat their children when their children make mistakes.Passage CThe world is not only hungry but also thirsty for water. This may seem strange to you, since nearly 70%of the earth's surface is covered with water. But about 97%of that is sea water or salt water. Man can only drink and use the other 3%of fresh water from rivers, lakes, underground and so on. And we can not even use all of that because some of it has been made dirty.Earth Day is April 22. But on all other days, we must also remember how important water is. The water that we use is the most important natural resource on the earth. Today we face serious water problems. One of them is water pollution. All kinds of things from cars, factories, farms and homes make our rivers, lakes and oceans dirty. Polluted water is very bad for people to drink. And dirtywater is bad for fish, too.How do cars and factories make our water dirty? First they pollute the air. Then when it rains, the rain water makes our drinking water dirty. Dirty rain, called acid rain（酸雨）, is also bad for plants, animals and buildings. Scientists say that in 30 years, more than half of the people in the world won't have enough dean water. We have to learn how to stop wasting water. One of the first steps is to develop ways of reusing it. Today in most large cities, water i~ used only once and then sere out into a sewer system（下水道）. From there it returns to the sea or goes underground.But even though every large city reused its water, we would still not have enough. So we should make use of sea water by removing the salt in it. If we can take these steps, fresh water won't be used up.1. The world is thirsty for water because______.A．we don't have enough fresh waterB．a lot of water goes into sewer systemsC．only 70% of the earth's surface is waterD．sea water is widely used rather than fresh water2. The underlined word "face" means"______".A．turn the face down B．turn the face upC．turn the face to D．turn the face back3. From this passage, we know acid rain________.A．is only bad for living thingsB．is not bad for buildings and factoriesC．can be produced in factoriesD．is bad for people, animals, plants and buildings4. One difficult way we can solve the problem is to ______.A．use the water with salt in it B．remove the salt from sea waterC．get water from underground D．reuse the water in cities5. What is the best title for this passage?A．Fresh water and sea water B．A thirsty countryC．The importance of water D．The world's water problemPassage DLet us begin by saying what causes our dreams. Our dreams do not come from another world. They are not messages from some outside source .They are not a look into the future, either.All our dreams have something to do with our feelings, fears, longings, wishes, needs and memories. If a person is hungry, or tired, or cold , his dreams may include a feeling of this kind. If the covers on your body, such as a quilt or a blanket, have slipped off your bed, you may dream that you are sleeping on ice or in snow. The material for the dream you will have tonight is likely to come from the experience you have today.So the subject of your dream usually comes from something that has influence on you while you are sleeping（feeling of cold, a noise, a discomfort, etc.）and it may also use your past experiences and the wishes and the interests you have now. This is why children are likely to dream of fairies, older children of school examinations, hungry people of food, home-sick soldiers of their families and prisoners of freedom.To show you how this is happening while you are asleep and how your needs and wishes can all be joined together in a dream, here is the story of the experiment. A man was asleep and the back of his hand was rubbed with a piece of absorbed cotton. He would dream he was in hospital and his charming girlfriend was visiting him, sitting on the bed and feeling gently his hands!There are some scientists who have made a special study of why we dream, what we dream and what those dreams mean. Their explanation of dreams, though a bit reasonable, is not accepted by everyone but it offers an interesting approach to the problem. They believe that dreams are mostly expressions of wishes that did not come true. In other words dreaming is a way of having your wishes carried out.1. From the passage we know that our dreams .A. are imagination of our daily lifeB. are man’s curious look into the futureC. have nothing to do with our feelingsD. are to some degree connected with our feelings2. In your dream when you feel like eating something it indicates（暗示）that .A. you are in a state of being coldB. you are in a state of being tiredC. you are in a state of hungerD. you should have had your dinner that day3. Some scientists’ explanation of dreams .A. is not widely accepted though a bit reasonableB. gives an exact description of our lifeC. provides us with information of dreamsD. is of no use for usPassage EThomas I’m not really sure what I’ll do in the years from now. I guess that I will work, but I don’t know what job I want to do yet, maybe a doctor or a film director? But I can certainly tell you what I’ll do next week ---- celebrating my birthday with my friends. I’m busy enjoying my life now but not to worry about the future!Emma One thing I really want to do is to travel around the world. Hopefully I will live somewhere different in ten years. Somewhere very interesting like Australia, or even Japan --- who knows? I’d like to be a teacher and I’ll probably teach English. Then I can go to almost any country and find a job.Ken When I was little, I always said I wanted to be a doctor and that hasn’t changed. I will study medicine after I finish school. It will be a lot of hard work, but it’s my dream. So in ten years I hope I will work in a hospital. I’ll save lives and that is surely a very useful and interesting job.Mary I’m not really sure about the future. I know that I’m going to go to university but I also imagine that I’ll get married sometime in the next ten years. I’d like to have a family but I want to have an interes ting job as well.

In the wilderness, everyone has his own way to protect himself. Even plants have their own ways to fight off enemies.Over millions of years, plants have developed their own defense system (防卫系统). Chemicals are fantastically used by plants to survive (幸存). By making their leaves, flowers, roots and fruits poisonous (有毒的) to enemies, plants can fight back.One such plant is the Golden Wattle tree. The British scientist David Cameron has found when an animal eats the tree’s leaves, the amount (数量) of poison increases in the other leaves. “It’s like the injured leaves telephoning the others to fight together against the enemy,” he said.The tree also sends defense messages to neighboring plants by giving out a special smell. Golden Wattle trees in the nearby 45 meters will get the message and produce more poison within 10 minutes. Now, if an enemy eats too many of the trees’ leaves, he will die.Every kind of plant or tree is good at producing a special set of chemicals. Herbivores, like rabbits, can safely eat the leaves of one tree, but they may be poisoned by its neighbor.In this way, plants have not only developed their own defense system, but also shared it with others. This makes it impossible for a single animal to destroy even a small area of forest. 1．From the first 2 paragraphs, we can learn that _________.A. plants can do nothing against their enemiesB. chemicals are quite useful for plants to surviveC. an antelope can always run away from a strong lionD. leaves, roots, flowers and fruits of plants are poisonous2．If animals eat one Golden Wattle tree’s leaves, the tree can________.A. kill the animals with a special smellB. tell other trees to come to protect itC. warn other trees against the animals on the phoneD. send defense messages to the neighboring plants3．The underlined word “herbivores” in the 5th paragraph probably means animals which _____.A ．produce poisonB ．live on small animalsC ．like to eat rabbitsD ．feed on plants or grass4．The last paragraph of the passage suggests that this kind of defense system is ________.A ．bad for animalsB ．good for forestsC ．helpful to some animalsD ．harmful to forests5．The passage is mainly about __________.A ．the examples of protecting forestsB ．the balance between animals and plantsC ．the ways of plants fighting against enemiesD ．the relationship between lions and antelopesPassage GHow should you begin and finish an email message to someone you don't know? Find out here. Starting and finishing emailsHere are some important points to consider when starting and finishing an email.Formal or informal?We write a formal email when we want to be polite, or when we do not know the reader very well. A lot of work emails are formal. We write informal emails when we want to be friendly, or when we know the reader well. A lot of social emails are informal. Here are some examples of formal and informal messages:Before you start writing an email, decide if you want to write a formal email or an informal one.Layout and punctuationStarting an email: We normally write a comma after the opening phrase. We start a new line after the name of the p erson we’re writing to.Finishing an email: We normally write a comma after the closing phrase. We start a new line to write our name at the end.Phrases for starting and finishingHere are some phrases which we use for starting and finishing emails. We use these in formal and informal emails:1. Where can you find this passage?A. From a school magazine.B. From a newspaper.C. From a textbook.D. From a website.2. What is the passage mainly about?A. Writing email address.B. How to write an emails.C. Writing messages to strangers.D. Reading different emails.3. Which of the following belongs to an informal email?A. An email to your classmates.B. An email to an online shop.C. An email to your boss.D. An email to an ad company.4. After writing the opening and closing phrase, we both need a _______________.A. “,”B. “.”C. “!”D. “?”5. When we say “With many thanks and best wishes”, we mean to ____________.A. start our emailB. change our topicC. end our emailD. express our opinionsPassage H（判断正误）My six-year-old granddaughter, Mary, found a small freckle(斑点) on her left arm. She didn't like it and tried to pick it off.I told her, “Oh dear, that's a beauty mark. Don't pick it off.” She took another look at it. “It's not beautiful. I want to pick it off，” she cried.“Each of us is born with special marks. Some of them can be seen, but some of them are invisible(看不见的)．”“What kind of mark is invisible？” she asked.“Well...a mark of kindness, even the mark of a loving heart. We can't see them, but they are very special marks.”“Why can't mine all be invisib le？” she asked.“I can see many of your special marks, such as the color of your eyes, the shape of your nose and the smile on your face. Nobody else in the whole world has the same things as you. Special marks, inside and outside, are the things that mak e each of us different and special.”She didn't understand all of my words, but she stopped crying. The next morning, Mary ran into the kitchen. She said to my husband, “I have a beauty mark. Do you want to see it？”“I sure do，” my husband laughed.“I didn't like it yesterday, but now I do.” she said.根据上述内容，判断下列句子正误，正确的为“T”，错误的为“F”。

However，one autumn，things changed.It began witha tiny disagreement about a horse，which grew into a major difference. The difference led to angry words, followed by weeks of silence between the two brothers.One morning there was a knock on Paul's door.He opened it and saw a builder holding his toolbox.“I'm looking for a few days' work，”the builder said.“Are there any jobs here I could help with?” “Yes, ”answered Paul, extremely pleased to see the builder.“I do have a job for you. Look at that farm across the creek(小溪).That's my brother's farm.

One of my father's friends, Bernie, was a rich businessman, who owned a large store in St. Paul.Every summer, when the first watermelons arrived, Bernie would call. Dad and I would go to Bernie's place. We'd sit on the edge of the dock（码头）, feet dangling（摇晃）, and got ready for a big meal.Bernie would take his knife, cut our first watermelon, hand us both a big piece and sit down next to us. Then we'd bury our faces in watermelon, eating only the heart—the reddest, juiciest, firmest, sweetest, most seed-free part—and throw away the rest. Bernie was my father's idea of a rich man. I always thought it was because he was such a successful businessman. Years later, I realized that it was not Bernie's wealth itself but his way of dealing with it that my father liked. Bernie knew how to stop working, get together with friends and eat only the heart of the watermelon.What I learned from Bernie is that being rich is a state of mind. Some of us, no matter how much money we have, will never be free enough to eat only the heart of the watermelon. If you don't take the time to dangle your feet over the dock and enjoy life's small pleasure, your work is probably hurting your life.For many years, I forgot that lesson I'd learned as a kid on the loading dock. I was too busy making all the money I could.Well, I've relearned it. I hope I have time left to enjoy the success of others and to take pleasure in the day. That's the heart of the watermelon. I have learned again to throw the rest away.1. We learned from the second paragraph that the writer and his father were feeling______. A. relaxed B. worriedC. hungryD. proud2. How did the writer and his father eat the watermelon? A. They ate it in a polite way. B. They only ate its best part. C. They ate every part of it.D. They shared only one piece.3. In the eyes of the writer's father, Bernie ______.A. was just a rich businessmanB. worked hard all the timeC. lived a rich but healthy lifeD. knew how to make money4. The underlined part “the heart of the watermelon” in the last paragraph refers to______.A. the best part of the watermelonB. the writer's busy lifeC. the writer's decision of making moneyD. the writer's hope of enjoying life5. It can be learned from the passage that ______. A. one has to work hard to reach his goal B. a friend in need is a friend in deed C. watermelon is the healthiest fruitD. one should keep work-life balance答案：ABCDD3Hundreds of years ago，a Roman army came north from England to make war on Scotland. The Scots，a brave people，loved their country very much. They fought hard to drive the enemy out of Scotland，but there were too many Romans. It looked as if the Romans would win.One night，the leader of Scots marched his soldiers to the top of a hill. “We will rest here tonight，my men,”he said. “Tomorrow we will fight one more battle. We must win or we will die.”They were all very tired，so they ate their supper quickly and fell asleep. There were four guards on duty，but they，too，were very tired，and one by one，also fell asleep.

There are only a few men in all of history, who have changed the lives of other men as much as the inventor of the first useful electric light. But Edison could never be pleased onlybecause someone said he was a genius. “There is no such thing as genius,” Edison said. He thought what people called genius was mostly hard work.But Edison was a dreamer as well as a worker. From his earliest days as a child he wondered about the secrets of nature. He tried to understand them, and then he tried to learn what he could usefully do with them.Edison enjoyed thinking. He knew that most people would do almost anything instead of the difficult work of thinking, especially if they do not think very often. But he knew, too, that thinking could give men enjoyment and pleasure.Edison could not understand how anyone could not be interested in life. As he loved to think, he also loved to work. On the day he became 75 years old, someone asked him what idea he had about life. “Work,” he answered, “Discovering the secrets of nature and using them to make men happier.” He said he had enough inventions in his mind to give him another 100 years of work.1.According to Thomas Edison, what's genius?A.Hard thinking.B.Hard work.eful dreams.eful inventions.2.After exploring the secrets of nature, Edison always tried to .A.write down what he had learntB.carry out a new experimentC.make them useful in lifeD.share them with others3.Edison could not understand .

Standing by her chair, looking at the ink bottle, pens, and white paper, I decided that the act of writing must be the more wonderful thing in the world. Years later, during her final illness, mother kept different things for my sister and brother. “But the desk,” she'd said again, “it's for Elizabeth. ”I never saw her get angry, never saw her cry. I knew she loved me; she showed it in action. But as a young girl, I wanted heart-to-heart talks between mother and daughter. They never happened. And a gulf opened between us. I was “too emotional(易动感情的)”. But she lived “on the surface(表面)”.As years passed I had my own family. I loved my mother and thanked her for our happy family. I wrote to her in careful words and asked her to let me know in any wayshe chose that she did forgive(原谅) me.I posted the letter and waited for her answer. None came.My hope turned to disappointment(失望), then little interest and, finally, peace— it seemed that nothing happened. I couldn't be sure that the letter had even got to mother. I only knew that I had written it, and I could stop trying to make her into someone she was not.Now the present of her desk told, as she'd never been able to, that she was pleased that writing was my chosen work. I cleaned the desk carefully and found some papers inside —a photo of my father and a one-page letter, folded(折叠) and refolded many times. Give me an answer, my letter asks, in any way you choose. Mother, you always chose the act that speaks louder than words.1.

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 themselve s. 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.

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 .The ir 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. This keeps the air away from a fire and kills it.Be careful with fire, and it will help you. Be careless with fire, and it will burn you.()1. Which is true?A. We are not sure how people started to use fire.B. It is an Australian who started a fire.C. We know how people began to use fire.D. Nobody knows how to make a fire.()2.

2020年中考英语阅读理解专题练习(含答案)
2020中考英语大阅读组合练有答案一、阅读理解AGetting electricity has always been a problem for the 173 people living in Nuevo Saposoa, a small village in Peru, South America. However, things went from bad to worse in March 2015 after heavy rain damaged the only power cables in the area. The villagers were forced to use oil lamps, which are not only expensive but also dangerous because of the harmful gases they produce.Luckily, according to the researchers at the University of Technology (UT) in Lima, Peru heard about their problem and found a wonderful solution. They made a lamp that can be powered by plants and soil, both of which can be easily found in the Amazonian rainforest where the village lies. The lamp takes energy from a plant growing in a wooden box and uses it to light up an LED light bulb.While that may sound amazing and even impossible, the science behind the idea is quite simple. As plants create their food (using the sun's energy, water and chemicals from the soil), they also produce waste which they return to the soil. Tiny animals in the soil eat this waste and they produce electrons — the building blocks of electrical energy. The UT team put special sticks inside the soil to capture the energy and keep it in the lamp's batteries for later use. The researchers say a single charge can power a 50－watt LED light for two hours — enough time for local villagers to get their evening work done.The university gave ten Plant Lamps to the villagers of Nuevo Saposoa in October 2015. So far, they have been a huge success! Elmer Ramirez, the UT professor who invented the lamp, believes the Plant Lamp could help improve the lives of many people, especially small rainforest communities, 42% of whom have no electricity.()1、What are the problems of oil lamps according to Paragraph 1?A. They are difficult to use and create pollution.B. They are expensive to buy and easily damaged.C. They are difficult to repair and produce little light.D. They are expensive to use and can be bad for health.()2、The underlined word “cables” means “______”in Chinese.A. 电报B．电缆C. 电话D. 网线()3、What is true about the Plant Lamp?A. It can be made by local people.B. It is much easier to use than oil lamps.C. It can produce all the electricity the villagers need.D. The things it needs to make electricity are easy to find.()4、The Plant Lamp's inventor believes it could be the most helpful for ______.A. small rainforest communitiesB. carsC. poor people in citiesD. farmers()15、What is the purpose of the passage?A. To report on a new invention.B. To explain a new scientific theory.C. To describe how electricity is made.D. To discuss the problems of poor villages. B（民族风情及节日文化）We never had children of our own—just The White Prince—and I can tell you，he was enough of a family for anyone. He walked freely in the park just as we had planned he would，and ran after the deer and the rabbits whenever he felt like it: but he never did learn how to kill for himself. You can't teach old lions new tricks. He lived on deer mostly，and slept on a sofa in our living room—I wouldn't have him inside our bedroom，no matter(无论) how often Bertie asked. You know，I have to draw the line somewhere.Bertie's leg was never cured. When it was bad，he often needed a stick，or me，or the lion to lean on. It pained him a lot，especially on cold and wet days，and he never slept well. On Sundays the three of us would walk around the park together，and Bertie would sit on the top of Wood Hill with his arm around the lion's neck and I would fly kites. You know，I've always loved kites. And the lion liked to break them into pieces.The lion never showed any interest in running away，and even if he'd wanted to，the park wall was too high for an old lion to jump over. Wherever Bertie went，he wanted to go too. And if ever Bertie went out in the car，then he'd sit by me in the kitchen，and watch me with those great amber eyes，listening all the while for the sound of Bertie's car coming up the path to the front of the house.The lion was getting older. And he became weak in his legs and could see very little. He spent his last days sleeping at Bertie's feet. When he died，we buried(埋葬) him at the bottom of the hill. Bertie wanted it that way so he could always see the place from the kitchen window. I suggested Bertie plant a tree in case(以防) he forgot where the lion was. “I will，but he should get more than a tree，” Bertie said.Bertie was sad for weeks，months after the lion died. There was nothing I could do to cheer him or even comfort him. He would sit for hours in his room，or go off on long walks by himself. He seemed so shut away inside himself，so distant(遥远的). Try as I did，I could not reach him.…(Adapted from The Butterfly Lion)( )1. What did Bertie's wife mean by saying “I have to draw the line somewhere”？A. She would like the lion to sit by her.B. She didn't except Bertie to keep the lion.C. She didn't allow the lion to go into the bedroom.D. She wanted to stop the lion walking freely in the park.( )2. Which description about the lion is TRUE according to the story?A. He seldom broke kites into pieces.B. He could jump over the park wall.C. He became weak in his legs and eyes.D. He could kill deer or rabbits for himself.( )3. What can be inferred(推断) from the story?A. Bertie's leg was badly hurt by the lion.B. The lion wanted to leave Bertie's family.C. Bertie's wife would plant a tree for the lion.D. Bertie loved the lion more than his wife did.( )4. The story is mainly about ________.A. Bertie and his wife—the owners of the lionB. tricks that Bertie and his wife taught the lionC. the habits that the lion formed in Bertie's familyD. the last days the lion spent with Bertie and his wife二、任务型阅读Dear Annie,I’ve never written a letter to a newspaper before, I have just never felt the need to do such a thing.

2020年中考英语阅读理解专练附答案
阅读理解专练（一）There were many plants in a forest. When spring came, a pine tree saw a red rose nearby and said, "What a beautiful flower! I wish I were that lovely. "The rose proudly said, "It seems that I am the most beautiful flower in this forest. "Then the rose looked at a cactus (仙人掌) and said, "Look at that ugly plant full of thorns（刺）! ""What a proud flower! " thought the trees.As the days passed. the red rose often looked at the cactus and said bad words about it, like "This plant is useless. How sorry I am to be his neighbor ! "The cactus never got angry and even tried to advise the rose, saying, "God did not create any form of life without a purpose. "Spring passed, and the weather became very hot. As there was no rain, the red rose began to wilt（枯萎）.One day the rose saw birds put their beaks (喙) into the cactus and then fly away. The red rose asked the pine tree what the birds were doing. The pine tree explained that the birds were getting water from the cactus."The cactus has water?" asked the rose.Yes, you can also drink some from it. The birds can bring water to you if you ask the cactus for help. "The red rose felt too ashamed to ask for water from the cactus. But finally it did ask for help. The cactus kindly agreed.The rose learned a lesson and never judged (评价) anyone by their appearance again.31.

If youanswered yes, you should try a new kind of exercise: aquatic (水中的)exercise. Aquatic exercise is like exercise on land, but youdo it in aswimming pool. More and more people are trying aquatic exercise.Aquatic exercise feels easier than exercising on land. Why? You weighabout 90% less in thepool. It is better for your knees than running orwalking. Water is about 1, 000 times thicker andheavier than air. To movethrough the water, your body has to work four times as hard. As a result,youcan burn more calories (卡路里).In fact, most people say they feel more relaxed in the water. They stopthinking about the things that make them worried. They feel in controlof their bodies. The cool, quiet environment makes themfeel good.But what if you are afraid of the water? No problem! There is nothingto worry about. Aquaticexercise is safe and easy to learn. It doesn'trequire any special skills. You don't even need to knowhow to swim. Aquaticexercise is for everyone.75. What is Paragraph 2 mainly about?A.

In which part of a magazine can we read the text?A. Culture.B. Health.C. Nature.D.Travel.（三）Sometimes it seems that time is flying. Perhaps it doesn’t need to feelthis way. Our experience of time can be possibly changed. By understandingthe psychological(心理学的) processes behind our different experiencesof time, we might be able to slow down time a little.One basic law of psychological time is that time seems to slow down whenwe’re exposed(接触) to new environments and experiences. The law iscaused by the relationship between our experience of time and the amountof information our minds process. The more information our minds take in,the slower time seems to pass.It follows, then, that we have different experiences of time in different situations. In some situations, our life is full of new experiences. Our minds process a lot of information and time seems to slow down. In other situations, we have fewer new experiences and the world around us becomes more and more familiar(熟悉的). We become insensitive to our experience, which means we process less information, and time seems to speed up. How can we slow down time? Here are two suggestions.Firstly, since we know that familiarity makes time pass faster, we can expose ourselves to as many new experiences as possible. We can give ourselves new challenges, meet new people, and expose our minds to new information, hobbies and skills. This will increase the amount of information our minds process and expand(增加) our experience of time. Secondly, and perhaps most effectively, we can give our whole attention to an experience-to what we are seeing, feeling, tasting, smelling or hearing. This means living through our senses rather than through our thoughts. For example, on the way home, focus your attention outside of yourself, instead of thinking about the problems you have to deal with. Look at the sky, or at the buildings you pass, traveling among them. This open attitude to your experiences helps take in more information and also has a time-expanding effect.To a certain degree, we can understand and control our experience of time passing.

When you meet someone for the first time, bythe time you have stated you name or shaken hands, the otherperson has already formed an opinion about the kind of personyou are.So how do you make a good first impression? All thingsgrown-ups tell you --- such as being polite, and beingwell-dressed --- are very important. However, the most important tool for making a good first impression is yourface. Smiling, being responsive, and looking like you arehappy will almost always leave a positive ( 积极的) impression on people, especially those who do not know you.Most people, generally speaking, are ready to smile back whenthey are smiled at.Furthermore, smiling and being in a positive mood helpsyou to know and get a better understanding of new things.This means that you can possibly be friendlier to people youdo not know and be more creative and able to solve problemsmore quickly. So if you ever need a reason to be happy, thinkabout the wonderful people you might meet --- and impress--- with a cheerful smile.46.What does the underlined word “react” in Paragr aph 1 probablymean in Chinese?A.回应B. 道歉C. 报告D. 建议47.Which paragraph shows how soon others form opinions on you?A.

When the weather turns warm, sea turtles leave the ocean to lay their eggs on the beach. This is the only time they will ever leave the water. Most other turtles spend part of the time in water and part of the time on land.B. The way their feet are made helps sea turtles swim very quickly. Their feet look like long paddles or a sea l’s flippers. When they swim, they flap their feet like a bird flaps its wings. This unusual way of swimming benefits sea turtles. It allows them to escape from their enemies.C. Sea turtles stay in the water because they are safer there. Sea turtles cannot pull their heads and feet into their shells like other turtles can. Sea turtles cannot hide inside their shells from other animals that want to eat them. They need to move quickly to stay safe.D. Sea turtles are the giants of the turtles. The largest kind of sea turtle can grow eight feet and weigh 1,500 pounds. Even the smallest kind, Kemp’s ridley, can grow up to 28 inches long and weigh almost 100 pounds. Many other turtles are small enough to fit in your hand.E. It is easy to understand why sea turtles stay in the water. Their ability to swim is superior to their ability to walk. Their heavy bodies and unusual feet make it hard for them to travel on land. They are better adapted for life in the water. They are well suited for life in the sea because of the way their bodies are made.DCAEBToday Internet is becoming more and more popular. Most of the students surf the Internet after school.

But there are millions of people, too, who love to let happiness go up in smoke.Offering cigarettes to guests is a traditional Chinese way of showing respect to them. A cup of tea and cigarettes are perhaps the most common way of welcoming a guest in China, especially during festiveoccasions such as the Lunar New Year.No wonder, 40 percent of the people surveyed recently said they would smoke at least twice the usual number of cigarettes during the Spring Festival because of all those gatherings and parties. Only 20 percent of the respondents said they would refuse a cigarette when offered one. Why can’t the others do the same? Because they could be seen as being rude, said more than half in the respondents. 15 percent feared they could be taken as “someone who cannot get along well with others”.The Think-tank Research Centre for Health Development and survey shows 61 percent Chinese think offering a cigarette is useful for socializing, and 52 percent have offered cigarettes to others. The study surveyed 3,800 people, and 64 percent of them were men.One-third of those surveyed were smokers, out of which 57 percent said they couldn’t give up smoking because of the offering-and-accepting culture. “People have accepted offering cigarettes as an effective way of making friends,” research centre director Wu Yiqun says.China has more than 350 million smokers, catering to the tobacco market that is worth 500 billion yuan. “The survey shows we still have a lot of work to do,” Wu says. “It is time to let people know that offering a cigarette is a bad habit and it should be given up immediately.”1. The passage is written with the purpose of ________.A. telling us a custom about the Chinese Spring FestivalB. introducing a way to make friends with ChineseC. stopping smoking during the Chinese Spring FestivalD. telling us that offering cigarettes is a bad habit2. The third paragraph mainly tells us ________.A. the fact that smokers are greatly increasing during the festivalB. the reason why refusing cigarettes is acceptableC. the fact that many people have to smoke more cigarettes during the festivalD. it is rude to attend parties without smoking cigarettes题四When he was 12, his father suddenly went crazy and killed his one –year- old sister.

Nobody but Hong could look after her.C. He wants others to know about his family.D. She could help him sell things.When Hong’s story became public, many people wanted to give him money. But Hong refused.“Poverty(贫穷)and suffering should not be an excuse for begging sympathy(同情)and help from society,”said Hong. “I think it’s most important for a man to support himself and be strong.”According to the passage ,we students should______.A. give money to the poorB. put our time and energy into many thingsC. learn to help ourselvesD. sell things to support our familiesFor example, cancer is common in many animals, including people.

May be this information can help people prevent cancer too.The writer of this passage thinks____.A. sharks are useful to usB. sharks are dangerous to usC. sharks are able to treat cancerD sharks are the largest animal in the ocean题五---逻辑推断型My father, at the death of his father, was six years old, and he grewup without education. He moved from Kentucky to Indiana when I was seven. We reached our new home about the time the state came into the union. It was a wild area, with many bears and other wild animals still in the woods. I grew up there. There were some so-called schools, but what was required of a teacher never went beyond “reading, writing, and adding”. If a stranger supposed to understand Latin happened to live for a time, he was looked upon as a wizard (奇才). There was simply nothing to excite a desire for education. Of course, when I grew up, I did not know much. Still, somehow, I could read, write, and add, but that was all. The advance I have now made is upon this store of education, which I have picked up under the pressure of necessity.1.It can be inferred from the passage that the schools in the area ______.A. were of poor qualityB. offered many kinds of subjectsC. respected those who knew LatinD. hired teachers good at reading, writing, and adding2. From the passage we know that the writer ______ at the time he wrote.A. had to learn to read, write, and addB. found it necessary to receive advanced educationC. was probably fairly well-educatedD. was dissatisfied with his level of education题六---回答问题型Just as in face-to-face communication, there are some basic rules of behavior(行为) that should be followed on the Internet. The basic rule is simple: treat others in the same way you would want to be treated.①Imagine how you’d feel if you were in the other person’s shoes.For anything you’re about to send: ask yourself, “ Would I say that to the person’s face?” If the answer is no, rewrite and reread. If someone in the chat room is rude to you, you needn’t to fire back. You should either ignore(不理睬) the person, or use your chat software to block their messages. Remember to respect the beliefs and opinions of others in the chat room.②Offer advice when asked by newcomers, as they may not be sure what to do or how to communicate. When someone makes a mistake, be kind about it. If you do decide to tell someone about the mistake, point it out politely. At the same time, if you find you are wrong, be sure to correct yourself and apologize to those that you have offended(冒犯).③询问别人诸如年龄、性别和家庭情况等隐私问题是不礼貌的。

I replied.I looked down and saw that the pin was gone. It must have fallen while I was changing."Oh no. I'm in deep trouble now!" I cried.Just then, Mom came in and greeted us, "Hi, girls. I want to take a little break. What are you doing?""Uh, nothing much. Just, playing.""Well, those are pretty outfits. Can I play too? I know just the thing."Before we could say anything, Mom was in her room putting on a lovely gown. Within minutes she came back and paraded (行进) around. She brushed up against me with her swirling skirts, and I nearly forgot about the pin. That was until she looked down and said, "Hmmm, I bet this would complete my outfit." She reached down and picked up the brooch. She looked at us with a curious expression."So, where did you get this?" Mom asked."I don't know where it came from," but I decided I'd better admit that I had taken the pin. "I took it out of your jewelry box. I just wanted to play with it." I held my breath waiting for her response."Well, dear, I understand that. Please put it away. Next time you want to borrow something from me, please come ask." Mom gave us both a hug and then got back to work.I stood there amazed for a minute. I was sure I would get in trouble. I'm sure it would have been worse if I had lied about it.

They turned to the left, but they saw only a room full of paintings. As Jess studied the paintings, his mind went to work. He studied the three largest paintings in the room. “I’ve got it! Framing is what an artist uses to make something stand out in a picture.”As they came closer to the three pictures, they saw an envelope on the floor. “You’ve done it! Join me downstairs in the gift shop for a souvenir（纪念品）!When the boys found their mother in the gift shop, they smiled. “That was so great, Mom! You made learning fun. Thanks,” Lou said.( )1.

2020年中考英语阅读理解、完形填空试题及答案It’s hard not to tell anyone that you’re feeling bad. If you keep these feelings inside and don’t talk it with others, it can even make you feel sick!But if you talk with someone and he / she cares a lot for you, like your mom or dad, you may feel better. But if you don’t want to talk with your mom or dad, what should you do? It’s better to find another trusted (信任的) adult, like a teacher at school. Maybe this person can help you talk with your mom and dad about your problems.Once you know who you can talk to, you should pick a time and place to talk. If you think it’s difficult for you to say what you think, write it down on a piece of paper. If the pe rson can’t understand what you mean right away, try to say it in a different way or give an example. Some kids may feel shy about sharing their feelings. They should know a kid doesn’t have to share every feeling he or she has. But it is important to share feelings when he / she needs help.根据短文内容，选择最佳答案。

Not only did he watch them, he spent much of his free time playing on the court too. Then came the final year of his middle school. All of his regular teammates stopped showing up on the court because they were simply too busy preparing for the high school entrance exam to play. He was, of course, under much stress himself, like everyone else. A good exam result meant a good high school;a mediocre(平庸的)score meant a mediocre school. Much was at stake. However, he loved basketball so much that he still found time to play, this time with a group of guys who were said to have skipped classes(逃课)before.Some of his teachers started worrying about him. They asked his mother to go to school to let her know that Jack was hanging out with problem kids. When his mother returned home that day, she wanted to talk to Jack. Knowing the purpose of her visit to the school, Jack thought his mother would punish him for befriending（以朋友方式对待）those bad guys. To his surprise, his mother was not angry with him at all.

Soon Jack's mum introduced some part-time jobs to Simon and Peter, which th ey accepted. She believed in her son and cared about those who were less lucky.Jack's basketball friends and he have left for different places, but they still keep in touch.

The reasons are simple and important.Your eyes are like two small cameras. A camera catches an image of an object and records it on film. Similarly, when you look at something, each eye takes in what it sees and sends this image to the back of the eyeball. Because your eyes are set close together, they see the world from about the same height but from a little different angles. While your right eye sees an object a little to the right, your left eye sees the same object a bit to the left. Working as a team, the eyes send the images to your brain, then your brain put them together and you see a single image in the center.Seeing in stereo (立体) means seeing with two eyes working tighter, which is called stereoscopic sight. This allows you to see the world in 3D. Seeing depth helps you to judge how far it is between you and the objects you see, and then adjust to the changing angle so that you can see something clearly when you move closer or farther away. If images are coming from a single eye, however, only height and width can be perceived. So if you see with one eye, you will get a 2D image, as in a photograph.Now consider why your two eyes are on the front of your face. Think of other animals just like you. They are all hunting animals, like lions and tigers. This provides a field of sight about 180 degree wide, which is called binocular sight. On the other hand, animals that are hunted have eyes on the sides of the head, which provides nearly 360-degree field of sight. However, they don’t have stereoscopic sight. It is difficult for them to judge how far a danger is.With both stereoscopic and binocular sight, humans and hunting animals share the ability to see from side to side and to judge how far it is from other objects. If you think it would be great to have another kind of sight, perhaps with hundreds of tiny eyes like many insects do, think again! Each tiny insect eye sees only a tiny part. Besides, what if you needed glasses? Be glad for theeyesight that you have.1. In Paragraph 2, the writer wants to.A. tell us how our two eyes worksB. show the importance of eyesC. compare our eyes with camerasD. suggest using two eyes properly2. The underlined word “perceived” in Paragraph 3 means.A. setB. takenC. seenD. made3. Which of the following statement is TRUE?A.

Passage 1If you look at the sky one night and see something moving and shining that you have never seen before, it might be a comet (彗星).A comet sometimes looks like a star. Like a planet, a comet has no light of its own. It shines from the sunlight it reflects (反射). Like the earth, a comet goes round the sun, but on a much longer path (轨道) than the earth travels.If a comet isn’t a sta r, what is it then?Some scientists think that a large part of a comet is water frozen into pieces of ice and mixed with iron and rock dust and perhaps a few big pieces of rock. When sunshine melts (融化) the ice in the comet, great clouds of gas go trailing after it. These clouds, together with the dust, form a long tail.Many people perhaps have seen a comet. However no one knows how many comets there are. There may be millions of comets, but only a few come close enough for us to see.An Englishman named Edmund Halley, who lived from 1656 to 1742, found out a lot about the paths that comets take through the sky. Some comets move out of our sight and never come back. Others keep coming back at regular times. A big comet that keeps coming back was named after Halley becausehe was the one who worked out when it would come back again. Maybe you have ever seen Halley’s Comets because the last time it came close to the sun and the earth was in the year 1986. Then people all over the world were outside at night to look at it. You will probably be able to see Halley’s Comets when it comes near the earth again.1.A comet is like ________.A. sunB. moonC. sunlightD. the earth2.A large part of a comet is ______.A.water and rockB. water frozen into pieces of ice and mixed with ironC. ice, iron and rock dustD. only a few big pieces of rock3.Maybe many people _______.A. haven’t seen any cometsB. have seen all cometsC. have seen a comet at daytimeD. have seen a comet4.Some comets keep coming back ________.A. at any timeB. at noonC. at regular timesD. at daytime5.Halley’s Comets came back _____.A. in 1990B. in 1980C. in 1986D. in 1989Passage 1【答案与解析】本文向我们介绍了相关彗星方面的知识。
