外研版英语中考复习(一)---阅读理解
中考复习（一）---阅读理解【阅读理解】（一）Anger is a kind of feeling. Many things can make you angry. When your teacher gives you too much homework, when your team loses an important game, when a friend borrows your favorite thing and then breaks it, you may get really angry.Usually, your body will tell you when you are angry. For example, you breathe faster, your face turns red, and you may want to break something or hit someone, but sometimes, you hide your anger.For example, you may hide it in your heart. The problem is that if you do this, you may get a headache or your stomach may hurt.In fact, it's not good to hide your anger, and it's normal for you to get angry sometimes. But anger must be let out in the right way, without hurting others or yourself. When you get angry, you can talk about it with other people. It's helpful to talk about your anger with an adult, such as parents, a teacher, etc.When you talk about anger, those bad feelings can start to go away. Here are some other things you can do when you start to feel angry: talk to a good friend; count from 1 to 100; give someone a hug ; go for a bike ride; think about good things, etc.Remember that how you act when you are angry can make everything better or worse. Don't let your anger control you.1. You may not get angry when ____.A. there is too much homework on this weekendB. your favorite basketball team wins the gameC. a friend breaks your favorite thingD. your parents don't let you watch TV2. ____ shows that you're not angry.A.

The head of the Community, Zhao Fuqin, said, “ The first Sunday, only eleven people came, but we picked up over seven big bags of rubbish from the sidewalk and street. The next weekkend, twenty people came, and filled eight rubbish bags. Now the neighborhood really looks great!”The Neighborhood Watch ProgramThe neighbors on Green Park began this program to look for problems in the neighborhood and to call the police if necessary. The neighbors all say the watch has already helped.Sun Yan, aged 60 , a retired teacher, said, “In the past, I felt afraid at night. Now I know my neighbors are watching for trouble.” According to the police, there are fewer problems in Green Park. “ Calls to 110 went down last month. Criminals knew that the people in Green Park were watching , so they stayed away,” said a policeman.The Neighborhood Fitness ProgramA Health Club was built last month, where the neighbors can do different kinds of sports like basketball, ping-pong, tennis, etc.. “Every morning you can see groups of neighbors running, dancing and playing Taijiquan. We have come to realize the importance of taking exercise,” said Chen Jinliang, a businessman of 45.The community has more plans. “We plan to start the Kids Care Program for children. We are going to build an after-school club. And we want to have a picnic for everyone in the neighborhood!” said Zhao Fuqin.( ) 1 The neighbors of the Clean-up Program clean Green Park on _______.A Saturday morningB Saturday afternoonC Sunday morningD Sunday afternoon( ) 2 Zhao Fuqin is ________.A a retired teacherB the head of Green Park CommunityC a businessmanD a policeman( ) 3 The underlined word “criminals” might mean _______ in Chinese.A 罪犯B 乞丐C 强盗D 邻居( ) 4 The community started _______ to help people keep healthy.A the Clean-up ProgramB the Watch ProgramC the Fitness ProgramD the Kids Care Program( ) 5 From the passage we know that _______ in the Green Park Community.A there are no problems nowB an after-school club was built last monthC the neighbors have a picnic every SundayD the environment is getting nicer and cleaner now(三)It is reported that some developed countries have shipped broken parts of computers to China. Last month Hong Kong officers found 131,000 kilograms of broken computers, TVs and phones sent from Japan.Things like these are called electronic waste, or e-waste. Dealing with them is not an easy job. Every time an old computer breaks down, it needs to be dealt with safely. What is worse, at present, broken computer parts are usually buried. It may be hundreds of years before they are really g one in the earth.Many places in China are polluted by e-waste. Guiyu in Guangdong Province is one of them.This town is named as “the e-waste capital of the world”. It has to deal with 1.5 million kilograms of e-waste each year, from which it makes 75 million yuan. But it comes at a cost. Many of the poisons in e-waste find their way into the environment. An environmental group has found the air, the earth and the rivers in Guiyu badly polluted.Luckily, the Chinese government wants to change the situation. This year, China passed a new environmental protection law. Computer companies like Lenovo and Dell will be asked to take back their old computers. Hopefully, the problem with e-waste will be solved in the near future.( )1. The e-waste found in Hong Kong last month was from _____.A. FranceB. JapanC. GermanyD. Australia( )2.

Is it good for them? We interviewed some students. Here are some different opinions.Kids in China are now less independent. Usually they can’t live alone without their parents. But studying abroad is a good way to improve their self-care ability, because they can depend on one but themselves when they stay abroad. – He WeiI’ve always wanted to study in the UK. I think there is a completely different culture waiting for me to learn about. Although we may learn about it from textbooks and the Internet, I still think it is much better to look and feel by ourselves. – Wu TingtingSome studetns want to study abroad because they don’t like the senior high school entrance exam, but they need to study hard and keep a good habit. Although the exam brings students pressure, it helps. If not, some of them may relax too much and learn little. – Li Hua China has a long history, and I am a big fan of it. As a Chinese, I think we should learn about our history and culture first and then compare it with others. On the other hand, there are too many new things in foreigh countries. Lots of students may pay more attention to them and forget about their study. – Wang Li( ) 1 He Wei thinks kids will learn to be ________ when they study abroad.A independentB carefulC lonelyD relaxed( ) 2 Wang Li is interested in _______.A British cultureB English textbooksC senior high school entrance examD Chinese history( ) 3 ______ thinks exams can push studetns to study harder.A He WeiB Wu TingtingC Li HuaD Wang Li( ) 4 Wang Li disagrees to study abroad because students may ______.A forget Chinese historyB compare themselves with othersC pay less attention to studyD not like the exams( ) 5 Which of the following is TRUE?A Li Hua thinks students will learn little if there is too much pressure.B Wu Tingting thinks learning from experiencing is better than from textbooks.C Wang Li thinks studetns may pay more attention to study in foreign countries.D He Wei has great interest in Chinese culture and history.(五)To us, it seems so natural to put up an umbrella to keep the water off when it rains. But in fact the umbrella was not invented as protection against the rain. Its first use was as a shade(遮蔽) against the sun.Nobody knows who first invented it, but the umbrella was used in very ancient times. Probably the first to use it were the Chinese, back in the eleventh century BC.We know that the umbrella was used in ancient Egypt and Babylon as a sunshade. And there was a strange thing connected with its use : it became a symbol of honor and power(权力). In the Far East in ancient times, the umbrella was allowed to be used only by those in high office or by royal people such as the kings or queens.In Europe, the Greeks were the first to use the umbrella as a sunshade. The umbrella was in common use in ancient Greece, but it is believed that the first people in Europe to use the umbrella as protection against the rain were the ancient Romans. During the middle ages in Europe, the use of the umbrella almost disappeared. Then it appeared again in Italy in the late sixteenth century. And again it became a symbol of power.Umbrellas have not changed much in style during all this time, though they have become much lighter in weight. It wasn't until the twentieth century that the umbrellas for women began to be made in all kinds of colors.( )1. Ancient people first used umbrellas as ____.A. a symbol of honorB. protection against the sunC. a symbol of powerD. protection against the rain( )2. According to the passage, the umbrella was probably first used in ancient ______. A. Egypt . B. Babylon C. Rome D. China( )3.

The style of the umbrella hasn't changed a lot since it was invented( )5. This passage is mainly about _____.A. the sales of the umbrellaB. the differences among umbrellasC. the invention of the umbrellaD. the history and the use of the umbrella\（六）Do you have any ideas about social skills?Social skills are the ways in which we get along with others. If we have good social skills we can become confident and happy. Of course a person with good social skills can live a relaxing life as well.Then what do social skills means? Cooperation is one of them that is to say working with others. We also call it teamwork. If you do your work in an active way when you work with others you do teamwork well. The following skills are important for you to work well with others.CommunicationIn order to communicate well with others you should be polite and some times you need gestures and eye contact.And having a sense of humor is also necessary.RespectingRespecting yourself and others is good for successful teamwork. As we all know everyone makes mistakes. You are not supposed to laugh at others even if they do make mistakes. No matter what you say and do you should be kind. And also you should try to make everybody feel happy and special.Joining inJoining in may be difficult for some people. But if you are active enough you can find it easier. Don’t always expect to win because you can’t always be the best.Social skills can help us not only work well with others but also help us feel good about ourselves.( ) 1 Social skills CANNOT help people _______.A get on well with othersB live longer and more healthilyC work well with othersD feel good about themselves( ) 2 The underlined word “ cooperation” might mean ______ in Chinese.A 聘任B 让步C 合作D 竞争( ) 3 ______ skills for workig with others have been mentioned in the passage.A TwoB ThreeC FourD Five( ) 4 _______ can help people communicate with others well.A Talking loudlyB Talking on the phoneC Being a winnerD Gestures and eye contact( ) 5 Which of the following is true?A Teamwork is really important while we are working with others.B An active person should always expect to be the best and win.C Asuccessful person will never make mistakes or laugh at others.D We can’t communicate well with other without a sense of humor.(七)At the start of a new year, students will usually write articles to review last year’s work and set goals for the coming year. Well, the Chinese government does this too---it writes the Government Work Report.Every year in spring, the National People’s Congress (全国人民代表大会) meetings are held in Beijing, and big issues (议题) of the country are discussed. At one meeting on March 5th, Premier Li Keqiang brought out this year’s Government Work Report. This year is quite special because 2016 is the beginning of the 13th Five-Year Plan. Thus, this report lays out (制定) a big plan, which China will follow over the next five years.Goals for the economy are always one of the most eye-catching parts. For a long time, Chinahas seen fast economic development. Both the country and its people have been becoming richer and richer. But last year, China saw the slowest economic growth speed in the past 25 years. The report pointed out that people don’t have to worry because China is welcoming a “new economy”. Goals for the economy are always one of the most eye-catching parts.China used to rely(依靠)a lot on industries like making clothes and toys, which don’t need much science or technology. But now China is changing. It will focus more on developing high-tech companies and service industries like tourism, according to the report.The report also plans to help people have better lives. The government needs to make sure that city air is clean 80 percent of the year. China will also help more people get good medical care, and they want to increase the average person’s lifetime b y one year.Although facing different kinds of problems, the report believes in a bright future for China. “From the start, China has been developing while dealing with challenges. There is no difficulty we cannot get beyond,” wrote the report.( )1 The National People’s Congress meetings are held _____.A once a monthB once a yearC twice a yearD once every five years( )2 The yearly Government Work Report ______.A is students’ first written schoolworkB is written by Premier Li Keqiang every yearC predicts what will happen in the coming yearD reviews last year’s work and sets goals for the coming year( )3 Which of the following is NOT true about this year’s Government Work Report?A China will try to solve its environmental problems.B China’s economic grew as quickly as before in 2015.C People in China are expected to live longer than before.D China will develop high-tech companies and service industries.( )4 The underlined word “it” refers to _____.A ChinaB the reportC economyD science( )5 You might read the passage______.A in a novelB in a textbookC in a newspaperD in a science report（八）Everybody has heard of fast food, but have you ever eaten slow food? Well, you might just want to try it. Here are some Americans talking about slow food.Jenny: I had the best lunch with my friend Susi in the slow food snack bar last Thursday. I had the great tomato and cheese salad-much better than a pizza and a Coke. A farmer came to our school to tell us about slow food, which I had never heard of before. And now I want to go onilne to find out more about it. I think it’s really a good idea. I hope they will open more slow food restaurants soon.Karen: I’m very excited because I have startd to run my own business – a new snack bar called Good Food. It is special because we only have slow food. What is slow food? Well, it is more than just healthy food. Slow food is also about growing food in a good way so that environment is not hurt. Come and try my food- I think you’ll like it.Mark: I’m a farmer from Clifornia. I grow food in a special way- a way that is better for the environment. I sell a lot of my food to the restaurants and snacck bars in the city. And I also visit schools a lot and try to teach children about food, for some kids think that fast food is the only food.( ) 1 Jenny had ______ for her best lunch.A tomato and cheese saladB a pizza and a CokeC some fast foodD her favorite snacks( ) 2 ______ runs a slow food snack bar called Good Food.A JennyB SusiC KarenD Mike( ) 3 Jenny wants to find out more about slow food ______.A at schoolB in the barC on the InternetD in the library( ) 4 Mark triess to teach children about ______.A farmsB foodC businessD restanrants( ) 5 Which of the following is true ?A Everybody doesn’t like fast food.B Most of people have eaten slow food.C Many children in America only eat fast food.D Slow food is healthy and good for environment(九)You may know the saying: An apple a day keeps the doctor away. A recent study by the Chinese University of Hong Kong has discovered another saying: An apple a day keeps old age away.The study involved fruit flies(g果蝇), as they share many genes(基因) with humans. Researchers gave one group of fruit flies normal food, and another group of fruit flies got the same food including apple.The results showed that flies that ate apple lived an average of 55 days longer than the flies that didn’t eat apple. The study also found that apple-eating flies were more able to walk, climb and move about as they became old, the Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry reports.The researchers believe that the antioxidants (抗氧化剂）found in apples are good for health. In another experiment, researchers studied the diets of thousands of women. They found that those women who often ate apples were 20 percent less likely to have heart disease.Scientists have recently discovered the apple’s genetic code(基因代码). This allows scientists to make new kinds of fruit that are healthier. Researchers are already using this information to grow apples with added antioxidants. Antioxidants help to keep eyes and joints (关节)healthy and protect against heart attacks and cancer.Apples that help people lose weight may be in supermarkets in just four or five years. They are said to be “extra healthy” apples that can stop people from overeating.( )1 The study by The Chinese University of Hong Kong finds that _____.A apples make doctors lose their jobsB apples keep people healthierC apples make people live longerD apples keep people happier( )2 Fruit flies were used in the research because _____.A they love to eat applesB they look like human beingsC they are easy to catchD they have similar genes to humans( )3 By studying the diets of many women, researchers ______.A found they are healthier than menB helped them to lose weight successfullyC discovered the genetic code of the appleD proved apples were good for people’s health ( )4 The underlined word “diets” might mean _______ in Chinese.A 饮食B 锻炼C 治疗D 休息( )5 From the passage, we can infer that ______.A people who eat apples are protected from heart diseaseB women like to eat apples more often than menC apple’s genetic code is similar to other fruitsD scientists are studying a new type of apples.（十）Most Recgnized Buildings Aroung the WorldWhen you think of a city, the first thing that pops into your mind may be its architecture(建The leaning Tower of Pisa, Pisa, ItalyThis tower is famous because it leans. Some people say that it leans because it was built on unsuitable ground in the 14th century. Scientists used many ways to make the tower stable(稳定的). According to experts, the tower can now be safe for the next two to three hundred years.The Emipre State Building(帝国大厦), New York, the USWhen you see this pencil-shaped building, you’ll know you are in New York. The Empire State Building has 102 floors, which is about 443 meters tall. It stands out from many other skyscrapers（摩天大楼）in the city. It took only 410 days to build it, and it was complete in 1931. The building showed the ambition(抱负) of humans to build a tower that could reach for the sky.Eiffel Tower, Paris, FranceThe Eiffel Tower stands for French people’s great imagination. It was built for a world fair in 1889. At that time, many people thought the tower was a monster. But it had great use in wireless technology, and as time went on more and more people turned out to love it.The Sydney Opera House, Sydney, AustraliaCompleted in 1973, it is the symbol of Sydney and Australia. Its unique sail shape attracts visitors around the world.Every year, two millio music lovers come here to watch performances. It is now the soul of Sydney. Together with the New Year Day’s firework show every year, it gives the city an artistic and romantic atmosphere.( ) 1 If you see the Empire State Building during the trip, you know you are in ______.A ItalyB the USC FranceD Australia( ) 2 If you were born in 1430 , you might visit _______.A the Leaning Tower of PisaB the Empire State BuildingC Eiffel TowerD the Sydney Opera House( ) 3 Which of the following is NOT true about Eiffel Tower?A It ws not popular among French people at the beginning.B It has great use in wireless technology.C It was built in the late 19th century.D It is the tallest tower in the world.( ) 4 The Sydney Opera House has the following things to attract visitors EXCEPT_______.A its unique shapeB its musical performanceC its long historyD the New Year Day’s firework show( ) 5 You might read the passage _______.A in a travel magazineB in a textbookC in a novelD in a science report(十一)Take a look at teenagers around, dressed in baggy-pants (宽松裤), drinking soft drinks such as coke, reading Japanese cartoons. Whether you are in Beijing, Wuhan or Hong Kong, you will get the same impression. But should we copy others or should we maintain (保留) our differences?It sounds convenient that people around the world speak the same language, dress in the same style, eat the same food and play the same games. If the world was like this, you won’t feel strange in any corner of world. But just imagine living in such a strange world. How dull and colorless it would be!Different kinds of food that people can taste, the colorful and fashionable clothes that we dress in and different languages we speak are all part of the different cultures that our ancestors left us. These differences represent their creativity and talent. And we all enjoy different cultures in our daily lives. When you travel to other places, you want to see different things. When you talk to foreigners you expect to listen to interesting stories. These differences in culture are what make life colorful.But the whole world is shrinking into a small village as globalization (全球化) takes effect and many different cultures are disappearing. In most big cities around the world people wear the same clothes. Fast food stores are everywhere. Hollywood movies are kicking traditional performing arts out of our lives. The colors of our life are disappearing.There is joke that even the panda and zebra want to live a colorful life. So let’s take action to protect our colorful culture before it becomes as simple as black and white.It’s not difficult. Learning some folk songs, trying on a traditional clothing and even eating local food instead of going to KFC can help. And we’re sure you will enjoy it.( ) 1.The passage is written to _______.A．explain cultural differences B．convince readers to maintain cultural differencesC．predict the future of globalization D．show some cultural phenomena(现象) ( )2.The author thinks that cultural differences _______.A．make the world colorful B．make communication difficult C．only exist in food and clothing D．will never fade away( )3.The author starts the argument by ________.A．mentioning certain cultural phenomena B．mentioning his view at the very beginningC．mentioning the opposite view at the very beginning D．giving examples of cultural differences( )4.The underlined word “shrink” probably means “_______”.A．expand B．disappear C．become smaller D．grow in number ( )5.The author talks of all the following cultural phenomena except _______.A．food B．clothing C．language D．architecture。

It is a fearful thing for travellers, especially if night falls, to hear the hungry howls(狼嚎) of the wolves as they get nearer and nearer.A Russian nobleman, with his wife and a young daughter, was travelling in a sleigh(雪橇) over a bare plain. At nightfall they reached an inn, and the nobleman called for more horses so that he could continue his journey. The innkeeper begged him not to carry on. “There is danger ahead,” he said. “The wolves are out.” The traveller thought that the reason that the man was telling him this was to keep him as a guest for the night. The nobleman replied that it was too early in the season for wolves, and ordered for the sleigh to be made ready to set off. Not caring about the repeated warnings of the innkeeper, the nobleman and his family left on their way.The driver had worked his whole life for the nobleman. He loved his master as he loved his life. The sleigh travelled quickly over the hard snow, and there seemed no signs of danger. The moon began to shine, so that the road looked like shiny silver. Suddenly the little girl said to her father, “What was that strange howling sound I heard just now?” Her father replied, “Nothing but the wind is blowing through the trees.” The child shut her eyes, and kept still for a while. However, in a few minutes, with a face pale with fear, she turned to her father, and said, “Surely that is not the wind! I hear it again. Do you not hear it too? Listen!” The nobleman listened, and far, far away in the distance behind him, he heard a sound of the wolves. His family and the driver of the sleigh did not know the sound.Whispering to the driver, he said, “They are after us. Get your gun ready. I will do the same. We may be able to get away from them. Drive on! Drive on!” The man drove as fast as he could, but nearer, ever nearer, came the howling which the child had first heard. It was perfectly clear to the nobleman that a pack of wolves had got their smell, and was running after them. Meanwhile he tried to calm his wife and child down.1.What is the fearful thing for travellers in the dark forests of Russia?()A.The snow.B.The hungry howls of wolves.C.The dark forests.D.The nightfall.2.What did the nobleman think of the innkeeper’s warnings?()A.He thought that the reason that the innkeeper was telling him was true.B.He thought it was too late in the season to meet wolves.C.He didn’t think the wolves weren’t out.D.He thought the innkeeper wanted to keep him as a guest for the night.3.What Chinese story is similar to that in Paragraph 2?()A.The story of Wu Song.B.The story of Li Kui.C.The story of Little Red Riding Hood.D.The story of Dongguo and Wolf.4.How did the wolves find the travellers?()A.The wolves got the smell.B.The sleigh travelled quickly over the hard snow.C.The wind was blowing through the trees.D.The girl’s whispering to the driver.5.Which statement isn’t mentioned in the passage?()A.The nobleman called for more horses so that he could continue his journey.B.The driver loved his master as much as his life.C.The nobleman was full of anxious fears.D.It was the little girl who heard the howls of the wolves first.CAs a new teacher in Denver, Kyle felt that there was something she didn’t know about her students.

She hoped other teachers would use the same lesson with their own students. Soon posts and photos of notes from other schools poured in(涌入) from around the world.“After one student shared that she had no one to play with at break, the next day during break I noticed she was playing with a group of girls. Not only can I support my students, but my students can support each other,” said Kyle.Kyle’s story won the hearts of many people.“I take my hat off to this teacher.

The answer is between eight and ten hours. If you don’t get enough sleep at night, you’ll have less energy the next day.But the researchers say many children have missed out on 4,500 hours of sleep by the time they are seven years old. They say that children miss sleep because they have TVs and computers in their rooms, and busy parents don’t read to their younger children at night any more.

Even losing one hour’s sleep a night can mean that children do less well at school.German scientists think that your brain keeps working while you’re asleep. To show that they were right, they gave two groups of people stayed awake. The result?

Some unusual jobsWhen we ask students what they would like to be, they often talk about unusual jobs, things like doctors or teachers. But if you think about it, many people don’t plan to do their jobs.. They just start doing them by accident. We have talked to two people with unusual jobs.Charlene is a dentist but she doesn’t work with people. She works with horses. After university, she took care of animals’ medical health for several years, but she noticed that there were few people who could help with horses’ teeth. She decided to go back to college and study again. Then she had to buy special tools, but she’s never out of work. She’s always very busy taking care of horses’teeth. “I couldn’t be a dentist for people now.” Charlene said, “because I really enjoy working with horses.”As soon as Mike could read, he read books about robots. But the robots he builds today don’t look like the strange robot people in his books. He builds robots for industry. Early on he made up his mind to study science, maths and computers so that he could break into the world of robot engineering. “Some of the maths is very difficult, “says Mike, “but you must study maths to be an engineer.”Fortunately, he got top marks in all his maths exams.1.In order to become a horse dentist, Charlene ______.A. worked on farms for several yearsB. studied in college for several years.C.was out of workD. worked in a hospital2. Charlene doesn’t want to be a dentist for people because________.A. the pay is lowB. she has to buy special toolsC. she likes working with horsesD. she will be out of work.3.

This means that they take a year off, to do something else,before they start their students.For most students, spending time in foreign countries is the favourite activity---and Australia is the favourite place to go.Many parents , teachers and business people agree that travelling can teach important values.“After a year of travelling , I felt I’d grown up. I had learnt the importance of relationships with people, on all sorts lf levels.”There are many companies around the world that welcome these students on their projects---helping people in poorer countries, or even in your home country. Although you don’t get paid for your work, this kind of work can teach important skills—decision making and finding answers to problems, for example----that will help a student in a job one day.Finally, getting some knowledge and experience in an area you hope to study or work in one day will always be very useful.If several university graduates are applying for the same job, gap year work experience allows you to say: “I’ve already had some experience of this kind of work.” And that can get you the job!1.These days, ___ students in the UK take a gap year.A. someB. manyC. allD. a few2.Travelling can teach you values such as learning about____.A. flightsB. moneyC. relationship D jobs3. Working on projects in poorer countries is all about ____ people.A. helpingB. entertainingC. managingD. paying4.To help poorer people, you have to be prepared _____.A. to live in another countryB. to be paid very wellC. to be paid very littleD. to work for free5. University graduates with some work experience often get ____ than graduates without experience.A. more moneyB. more important jobsC. jobs more easilyD. more jobs in other countries4. The development of English as a world language is one of the most interesting events of the late 20th and early 21st centuries. It is the language used by speakers of many different languages to communicate with each other.There are about 5.8 billion people who do not speak English as either their first or second language. However, we have entered a period in world history when children are all learning beginner or higher level English. Already, there are almost 180 million learners of English being educated in China, a number which is rising. Also, many adults are learning English at work or in their free time.But looking into the future, the number of learners may grow smaller almost as quickly as it increased. If the project to teach English to the world’s primary schoolchildren is successful, the children of the future will not need English lessons at all.For many centuries, Latin was the common language between educated people in Europe. But just as the use of Latin slowly disappeared, English may also not remain the world language forever. Many language learners are already expressing an interest in learning Chinese, Spanish and Arabic.1.English is a world language because ______.A. there are 5.8 billion people who don’t speak itB. 180 million people in China are learning itC. nobody speaks Latin any moreD. speakers of all languages , from all over the world , use it.2.

If most children learn English at school_____.A. the number of English beginners in the world will increaseB. the level of English will be higher around the worldC. they will want to learn other languages as wellD. languages like Arabic and Chinese will be less popular4. English may not always be the world language, because_____.A many people speak other languages B. Latin is going to be the common language againC. people want to learn other languagesD. it is too difficult to learn5.

This passage is most probably from ______.A. a science bookB. a travel guideC. a news websiteD. a school magazineBThere’s much lo see under the sea, but you need to remember that light behaves differently in water than in air. The objects appear closer to you than they exactly are. You might find yourself reaching out to touch something and completely missing it．Objects under water will appear larger than they would on the surface, too. Be careful not to tell any stories about the big fish that got away. That fish might not be so big after all! It’s just because sometimes things can seem to be as much as about 33 percent bigger in water!What's more, in deeper water, colors just don’t seem as bright. In fact, it looks as if some colors are missing. Remember the color of an object results from the wavelengths（波长）of light that are reflected（反射）from its surface. And light is taken in as it moves down through the water．Swimmers wear wet suits to keep warm underwater. Let’s take a bright red, yellow, and blue wet suit as an example. These colors are hard to miss on the surface of water. Watch carefullythe changes in color as you descend in the water. The red part now looks almost black because the red light wavelengths, the longest among these three colors, are missing. As you go down deeper, the same thing will happen to the yellow part and in the end to the blue part. Even at a place of about 6 to 9 meters underwater, you will look terrible, like a ghost（鬼怪）! And you have to wait for your return to the surface to enjoy the bright colors again!61．You miss the object underwater when you want to touch it because ．A．your eyesight is quite poor B．you are not quick enoughC．it is not as close as it seems D．it disappears very quickly62．The example of the wet suit is used to explain the change of of an object underwater．A．the size B．the color C．the position D．the weight63．The underlined word"descend" probably means in Chinese in this passage．A．上升B．漂浮C．屏息D．下潜64．Which of the fo1lowing is true？A．A four-meter-long fish looks three meters long underwater．B．The wavelengths of red light are longer than those of blue light．C．Much water will be taken in by the swimmer deep in the water．D．You will see a ghost if you go as deep as 6to 9meters into the sea．65．The best title of this passage is ．A．The Standard of Color Underwater B．The Direction of Light Underwater C．The Brightness of Color Underwater D．The Behavior of Light Underwater答案：完形填空11.

But when we talk about day and night, we are using“day”to mean the time between sunrise and sunset. Since the earth looks like a ball, the sun can shine on only half of it at a time. Always one half of the earth is having day and the other half night. A place is moved from day into night and from night into day over and over by the spinning（旋转）of the earth. At the equator （赤道）day and night are sometimes the same length（长度）. They are each twelve hours long. The sun rises at 6 o’clock in the morning and sets at 6 o’clock in the evening. For six months the North Pole is tilted（倾斜）toward the sun. In those months the Northern Hemisphere（半球）gets more hours of sunlight than the Southern Hemisphere. Days are longer than nights. South of the equator nights are longer than days. For the other six months the North Pole is tilted away from the sun. Then the Southern Hemisphere gets more sunlight. Days are longer than nights. North of the equator nights are longer than days. Winter is the season of long nights. Summer is the season of long days.1．When the Western Hemisphere is having day, the Eastern Hemisphere is having ________.A. both day and nightB. dayC. neither day nor nightD. night2．A place is moved from day into night and from night into day over and over by ________ of the earth.A. the pushingB. the pullingC. the spinningD. the passing3．At the equator day is as long as night ________.A. sometimesB. neverC. usuallyD. always4．When the North Pole is tilted toward the sun, the Northern Hemisphere gets ________ sunlight.A. lessB. moreC. allD. no5．When it is winter in China, ________.A. the USA is tilted toward the sunB. the South Pole is tilted away from the sunC. the North Pole is tilted toward the sunD. the North Pole is tilted away from the sun(B)In ancient China, the State of Wu made an attack on the State of Yue. The king of Wu wasbadly hurt and soon died. His son Fu Chai became the new king. Fu was very sad and angry and he decided to fight back for his father’s death. He trained his army strictly until it was very strong. Three years later, he led his army against the State of Yue and caught its king Gou Jian, who was taken to the State of Wu.Gou Jian was put into a small black stone house which was full of terrible smell and was made to raise(饲养) horses. Gou worked hard and tried to keep himself quiet, but he never forgot his pain. Many years later, he was set free. Gou secretly trained his army after he went back to his own state. In order to make himself strong-minded he slept on firewood and ate a gall bladder before having dinner and going to bed every night. After a few years, his country became strong once more. Then Gou took hold of a golden chance to fight against Wu and won the war in the end.If one voluntarily(自愿) works very hard and voluntarily stands up to pains and difficulties in order to succeed, we might call him a “Gou Jian”, and his story, a “Gou Jian’s story”.6 ._________ was seriously hurt and died.A. Gou Jian’s fatherB. Fu Chai’s fatherC. Gou Jian’s brotherD. Fu Chai’s brother7. Three years later _______ was caught and taken to the state of Wu.A. Gou JianB. Fu ChaiC. Gou Jian’s fatherD.

Well, to tell you the truth,it is really an eye-opening experience to study here.In China, I had English classes five times a week since fifth grade. However, I didn’t know how different textbook English could be from everyday English until I came to Hotchkiss School, Connecticut.When I first studied English, I was told to say,”I am fine” when people say “How are you?”But in the US, I found that people say, “I am good” or “I’m tired”.One day, someone greeted me with “What’s up?”It made me confused . I thought for a moment and then smiled because I didn’t know what to say.Since then, I have discovered more and more differences between Chinese and US cultures.To my surprise, US girls spend a lot of time in the burning sun to get a tan(晒黑). However, in China, girls try every possible way to get their skin paler, or “whiter”.I was also surprised by how hardworking US students are.In China, schoolwork is almost everything, so we study hard and that’s it. But here, a “good” student gets good grades, does a lot of for the public and plays sports or music.The kids here are so talented, I am starting to be sorry that I gave up playing the piano at an early age and that I have never thought about sports.11. According to the writer, textbook English is ________ everyday English.A. quite different fromB. the same asC. more difficult thanD. easier than12.

The writer regrets(后悔) that he gave up playing the piano.15. Which is the best title for the passage ?A. My Own Travel in the USB. My Studying in the USC. My Opinion about the USD. My Friends in the US( D)You may have known several kinds of police, traffic police, and street police. But have you ever heard of energy-saving(节能) policemen ?A group of 22 of these new policemen went to work last week in Beijing. They go around the city to see the use of energy in hotels, office buildings, shopping centers and onther public places. One of their aims is to make sure that these sites have set their air conditioning(空调) no cooler than 26℃.They also set up a special phone line so that people can tell them which buildings fail to follow the rule.“If everyone sets their air conditioning at 26 ℃, Beijing will save 400 million kilowatt-hours of electricity in one summer. That’s one-third of all the usage of the city in the season,” said a TV advertisement.Other Chinese cities, like Wuhan in Hubei Province and Yangzhou in Jiangsu Province, are going to follow Beijing’s steps in setting up a similar police team.As one of the fastest developing countries, China is using a lot of energy. This has a great effect on the country’s environment and limited energy.From 1986 to 2005, the country experienced 20 warm winters continuously. Numbers show that Chinese cities have to spend billion of yuan solving(解决) environmental problems every year.At the beginning of this month, China made its first action plan to fight pollution. It aims to reduce energy usage by 20％and increase renewable energy up to 10％from 7％by 2010.To introduce the public to a green life, last week Beijing held a show on energy-saving technology and productions. Environment-friendly machines, such as a vending machine that helps colllect used bottles, have attracted lots of attention.“We want to tell people that there are certain ways to protect the environment. Each of us can find effective ways to do it in our daily lives,” said Liu Qianguang, an environmental engineer in Beijing.16. The job of the energy-saving policemen is ______________ .A. to set the air conditioning coolerB. to check the use of energy in public placesC. to set up a special phone lineD. to make sure that more energy will be produced17. Beijing will use ________ million kilowatt-hours electricity in one summer.A. 1200B. 800C. 400D. 13318.

CDo you ever forget a face? If not, then you could be a “super recognizer”.Usually it's easy for someone to recognize(识别) the faces of their family and friends. But it could be difficult for them to remember faces that they've only seen once.However, studies have found that super recognizers have amazing face recognition skills. They can remember at least 80 percent of faces they've seen. At least one in 50 people are super recognizers, reported Daily Mail.Bournemouth University of UK recently carried out a study. They tried to find whether super recognizers have a different way to remember faces.They found that when these people look at faces, they spend more time looking at the persons' noses.Researchers also found that these people are not smarter than others. Their super ability usually only helps them recognize faces.important finding is that there are subtypes(子类型) of superrecognition.Some super recognizers never forget faces. But for some, if you show pairs of faces to them at the same time, they can quickly decide whether the faces are of the same person or two different people.In fact, many super recognizers say they are good at “spotting”(认出) faces in a crowd.These subtypes of super recognition could be used in many areas of life. For example, the skills could be very useful at a passport control checkpoint. Super recognizers could also help the police spot known troublemakers, bad people or even missing people in crowds.1. Whose face can an ordinary person remember easily?A.A foreigner's.B.A friend's.C.A troublemaker's.D.A missing person's.2. According to the passage, which part of the body helps a lot in recognizing faces?A.Eye.B.Ear.C.Mouth.D.Nose.3. Which word can best fit in the blank in Paragraph 7?A.One.B.Other.C.The other.D.Another.4.
