That means the owners can wash their cars less, saving money. Besides, some areas that are short of water do not allow people to wash their cars often.According to another survey, white cars are often sold more than cars of other colors. In China, car buyers say white makes a small car look bigger. Car buyers in other countries also like white.

It is different between the north and the south.People from different places have their special taste.

It is a place for eating and shopping. Parents take their children to eat at street stalls. Young people shop around. Old people just sit around and chat.Today, with the popularity of social media (社交媒体) ye xiao is changing in some places. For example, in Hong Kong traditional snacks include red bean soup and mango pudding.

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 ewaste. 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 really go in the earth.Many places in China are polluted by ewaste. Guiyu in Guangdong Province is one of them. This town is named as “the ewaste capital of the world”. It has to deal with 1. 5 million kilograms of ewaste each year, from which it makes 75 million yuan. But it comes at a cost. Many of the poisons in ewaste 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 the country 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.

The bike that the service company provides has GPS or Bluetooth on it, and those bikes can be easily unlocked with a smart phone and left anywhere in public. Bikesharing allows people to borrow a bike from one place and return it at another place easily.In some cities, we can see more and more people riding this kind of sharingbikes. It's very convenient to use the bikes if you have a smart phone. First, you have to download such an APP on your smart phone. Then what you need to do is to find a nearest bike through the APP, scan the QR code on the bike or connect your phone with the bike over a Bluetooth wireless connection. You will find the bike can be unlocked itself. Then you can enjoy your trip. What's more, the greatest advantage of bikesharing is that you can easily find one and never worry about where to park it. The cost of riding depends on the time that you spend. Normally, every hour you ride, you need to pay one yuan. It doesn't cost so much, does it?At the same time, some people park the bikes in their own homes. Besides, some people don't value the bikes. Now service companies are trying to solve the problem like being stolen.Technology and science have changed our social lifestyles. We have to say bikesharing brings us more convenience without doubt. And we also hope that people can not only enjoy it but also put it to good use.1.

However, we have not found life on any other planets yet.The earth is a planet and it goes around the sun. Seven other planets also go around the sun. None of them has an environment with air, so people and living things cannot grow. The sun and its planets are called the solar system(太阳系). The solar system is a small part of our galaxy(星系).Scientists have also discovered many other galaxies in the universe. But they are far away and their light has to travel for many years to reach us. It is hard to understand how large the universe is.So far, scientists have sent lots of spaceships to look at other planets in the solar system, and some spaceships have gone beyond the solar system.

We wanted to do something to make a difference. ”In 2014, When Kaitlin was thirteen, she visited Central America, and saw people going hungry and families living in houses made of cardboard. That year, we set Kids on a Mission, which has helped hundreds of people there.“The rooms were smaller than my bedroom, but there would be eight people living in each one,” Kaitlin said. “We also got to see the dirty rivers that those people were drinking out of.”Providing clean drinking water, food and clothes for people living in poverty is now an important task for Kids on a Mission. “This young lady is changing the hearts of people, and also changing the world,” said the headmaster of Kaitlin's school.1.

In exchange, some kids get allowances(补贴) or other rewards such as extra computer time.But some people do not think that kids should get rewards for doing chores. Susie Walton, a parenting educator and family coach, believes that by rewarding kids, parents are sending a message that work isn't worth doing unless you get something in__return. “Running any kind of household is a team effort, ” Susie said. “A home is a living space for everyone in the family. It's important for kids to see that we all have responsibilities in the house, and how they are going to keep it looking like what everyone wants it to be. ”Other people believe that getting a cash allowance or other rewards motivates kids to do chores, and it also teaches them real world lessons about how we need to work to earn money. There are also new applications that give kids points and digital gifts that can be redeemed (兑取) either online or in the real world. With the ChoreMonster app, kids earn digital points by completing chores that they can turn in for real-life rewards such as extra Xbox time or a trip to the mall. “Our goal is to encourage kids to earn rewards,” says Chris Bergman, the founder of ChoreMonster. “Kids need positive reinforcement (强化) to help motivate them. ”What do you think? Should kids be rewarded for doing chores? Or should kids help out around their house without getting anything in return?Write a 200word response. Send it to tfkasks 4 you @timeforkids. com. Your response may be published in a future issue of Time For Kids. Please include your grade and contact information of your parents or teacher if you want your response to be published.

According to Susie Walton, ________.A. kids should be rewarded for doing choresB. parents decide what kids can do for the familyC. kids have the responsibility to share houseworkD. kids can get extra computer time for doing chores4. Paragraph 3 is mainly about ________.A. Chris Bergman's opinion on raising kidsB. main reasons why kids need encouragementC. how to motivate kids to try new applicationsD. the advantage of rewarding kids for doing chores5. The purpose of writing the text is to ________.A. invite readers to express their opinionsB. inform readers of two different opinionsC. call on readers to reflect on their behaviorD. present the author's viewpoint about parenting答案：阅读理解（一）1.B 2．C 3．C 4．D 5．A 阅读理解（二）1.A2.C3.D4.C5.

Abby Harris knows she wants to become an astronaut and isn ,t letting anything stop her.According to Harris , Internet blog, Astronaut Abby, she has wanted to be the first astronaut to walk on Mars since she was 5 years old.Harris wrote that at the beginning. Most people didn ,t take her dream seriously. But she stuck with (坚持) it."I made plans, I worked hard and I focused on (集中于) my goal. As I got older and continued to stay focused on science, people in my life began to notice and encouraged me to dream big,〞she wrote.In the 7th grade, Harris was doing a project on the International Space Station. She set up a Twitter account to get in touch with NASA (美国航空航天局). But soon she found that it was a great place for her to write about her dreams and talk with others who are interested in space. Her friends on Twitter then helped her create her website and blog, Astronaut Abby.What ,s more, Harris has a real astronaut as her mentor (导师). Several years ago, Harris ran into Italian astronaut Luca Parmitano at an airport. They talked for an hour and Parmitano agreed to become her mentor. Now Parmitano is in the International Space Station. Harris e -mails him every day to learn about his experiences.It ,s not easy to become an astronaut, but Harris is confident about herself."If you work really hard at something, it can happen. And it will happen,〞she said.56. Who is Abby Harris?A. She is a five -year -old girl.B. She is a fifteen -year -old girl.C. She is a girl in the 7th grade.D. She is the astronaut walking on Mars.57.

Of course,there have always been people who have looked for adventure and those who have climbed unknown parts of the world or sailed in small boats across the greatest oceans. Now,however, there are people who seek (寻找) a risky activity, which may only last a few minutes or even seconds.Bungee jumping is a good example of such an activity.You jump from a high place 200 meters above the ground with an elastic (有弹力的) rope tied to your feet. You fall at up to 150 kilometers an hour until the rope stops you from hitting the ground. It is reported that two million people around the world have now tried bungee jumping.Why do people take part in such activities like this?Some psychologists (心理学家) suggest that it is because life in modern societies has become safe and boring. In ancient times, people had to face danger and difficulties. They had to go out and hunt for food. Diseases could not easily be cured, and there was a continuous battle for survival (生存).Nowadays, according to many people, life offers little excitement. They live and work in comparatively safe environments;they buy food in shops;there are doctors and hospitals to look after them if they become ill. It is necessary for some of these people to seek danger in activities such as bungee jumping.61. Why do people tie their feet with an elastic rope in bungee jumping?A. Because it ,s more exciting.B.

Dangerous Sports Activities3Jean is a bright young woman who comes from a rich and famous family. She goes to a good university and has everything that money can buy. Well, almost everything. The problem is that the people in Jean ,s family are so busy that they can hardly find time to be with her. In fact, Jean is quite lonely.So Jean spends a lot of her time on QQ. She likes being anonymous (匿名的) talking to people who do not know about her famous family and her rich life. She uses the name Linda on QQ and has made a lot of friends who she contacts (联系) quite often.Last year Jean made a very special friend on QQ. His name was David and he lived in San Francisco. David was full of stories and jokes. He and Jean had a common interest in rock music and modern dance. So it always took them hours to talk happily on QQ and sometimes they even forgot the time. Of course, they wanted to know more about each other. David sent a picture of himself: he was a tall, good -looking young man with big, happy smile. As time went by, they became good friends and often sent cards and small things to each other.When Jean ,s father told her that he was going on business trip to San Francisco, she asked him to let her go with him, so that she could give David a surprise for his birthday. She would take him the latest DVD of their favorite rock singer.

The most popular sports in Germany are soccer, tennis, swimming and skiing. Germans are precise(严谨的). For example, a German would never cross the street when the lights are red.

It influenceshealth, intelligence(智力) and feelings.In August, it is very hot and wet in the southern part of the United States. People there have heart trouble and other kinds of health problems during this month. In the Northeast and the Middle -West, it is very hot at some times and very cold at other times. People in these states have more heart trouble after the weather changes in February or March.The weather can also influence intelligence. For example, in a 1983 report by scientists, IQ of a group of students was very high when a very strong wind came, but after the strong wind, their IQ was 10% lower. The wind can help people have more intelligence. Very hot weather, on the other hand, can make it lower. Students in many schools of the United States often get worse on exams in the hot months of the year(July and August).Weather also has a strong influence on people ,s feelings. Winter may be a bad time for thinpeople. They usually feel cold during these months. They might feel unhappy during cold weather. But fat people may have a hard time in hot summer. At about 18℃, people become stronger.Low air pressure(气压) may make people forgetful. People leave more bags on buses and in shops on low -pressure days. People feel best at a temperature of about 18℃.Are you feeling sad, tired, forgetful or unhappy today? It may be the weather ,s problem.56._____ can cause problems on health.A. Hot and wet weatherB.

It was a bad time to travel in London because crowds of people went home from work. He had to join a long queue (队伍) of people who were waiting for tickets. When his turn at last came, he had some difficulty in making himself understood by the man selling tickets. However, he got the right ticket in the end and, by asking people the way, he also got the right platform. It was full of people. He did not manage to get on the first train, but he found a better place to get on the next one. When this train came in, Tom was pushed forward onto the train. The door closed and the train moved off. He wasn ,t able to see the names of the stations where the train stopped, but he knew that the station he wanted was the sixth stop along the line. When the train came to the sixth station, Tom got off, feeling strange that his journey had been so easy. He looked around, then he found the name of the station.

Today, many teenagers are overweight, and some of this is because of their bad eating habits. Most teenagers love food with a lot of fat, oil, salt, and sugar. People often call this kind of food "junk food〞.But bad eating habits go beyond fast food. We find many teenagers eat unhealthily. Some don ,t have breakfast before they go to school. During the day, some don ,t have a proper meal for lunch. In a recent surveyat one school, scientists found that over two thirds of the students didn ,t follow a healthy diet (饮食). They didn ,t like vegetables, and many of them didn ,t like to eat fruits. They preferred to eat food with a lot of salt, sugar, or fat.Parents today also worry about their children ,s diet. Some doctors give the following advice: ★Teenagers shouldn ,t eat too much junk food.★Teenagers shouldn ,t eat food with too much salt. Salt can cause high blood pressure (高血压)in the future.★Teenagers should eat food with less fat, oil, and sugar.★Teenagers need to eat some fruits and vegetables every day. Fruits and vegetables are rich in vitamins (维生素)and have little fat.★Teenagers need to drink more milk. Milk will help their bones grow.★Teenagers need to eat breakfast every day.

My parents, although sharing my love of music, didn't think it was a good choice that I took up music as a job. Considering my family background, this was understandable. My grandfather had taught music for nearly forty years at Spring Hill College in Mobile, and though he was much loved by his students, he didn't earn（挣钱）enough to provide for his large family. As a result of this example in the family, my parents strongly asked me to go to the college instead of a conservatory（音乐学院） of music although I loved my violin and spent most of my spare time practicing.Before my graduation from Columbia, the family ran into some money problems and I felt it was my duty to leave college and take a job.

I felt that life was passing me by.My wish was to save enough to quit（退出）and then go to Europe to study music. I continued to make money, and finally, bit by bit, I earned enough to make myself able to go abroad. The family got out of the trouble and ▲ . I felt like a free man and sailed for Europe. I stayed for four years, worked harder than I had ever dreamed of working and enjoyed every minute of it."Enjoyed" is too soft a word. I walked on air. I really lived.

It was shocking to me that he was described as an angry, uncontrollable and evil（道德败坏的）boy. How could such a little boy, after being in school only one year, be considered "evil"?Over the next several months, I came to know Chip well enough to see that he was neither evil nor uncontrollable.But, one day, Chip threw a chair at his teacher and was sent to my office. I asked him what made him do this. He replied that his teacher hated him. He felt there was no way to ever get her to like him. I asked him if he would tell his teacher this. He nodded, and we called her into my office.When the teacher came, . He then said that he knew he was a very, very bad boy, and he didn't think anyone could ever like him. His teacher listened to him with heartfelt compassion. Then she gave him a big warm hug, telling him she didn't hate him at all and, actually, she cared very much about him. Only sometimes Chip's behaviour really scared her. It was clear to both Chip and me that she really meant it.I put my left arm on his shoulders and the right hand on his heart. I told him how wonderful and lovely I saw him to be. I praised how special and brave he was to express his hurt feelings.As I was speaking to him, his whole body came to rest on my right hand next to his heart. It was a moment in time unlike anything I had experienced before. From then on, I'm pleased to see his behaviour improved through the rest of school years.A child's mind is clear and sensitive（敏感的）.

中考英语专项练习-阅读理解(1)强化训练试题

中考专项练习—阅读理解（1）阅读下面材料，从每小题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。

AWhen does a teenager become an adult(成人)? In many countries, it happens on your 18th birthday, but in some parts of the world, you have to do something special to enter the world of adults. On the island of Papua New Guinea, the Niowra people live near the Sepik River, which is full of crocodiles(鳄鱼). The people believe the crocodiles made the earth and its people. When it is time for teenage boys to become men, “a crocodile ceremony(仪式)” takes place.The boys are taken to a small house called the“Crocodile Nest”. The house is full of crocodile teeth. The boys are told to think of their crocodile “fathers and mothers.” This helps them to be strong and brave during the ceremony. They stay in the house for six weeks. As part of the ceremony, bamboo is used to make small cuts on their backs. The Niowra say if the boys think of their crocodile mothers and fathers, they don’t feel pain. The boys also play drums during their time in the house to take their minds off the pain.The Niowra believe that this ceremony makes the boys stronger and braver. After the ceremony, the boys will have the marks of the cuts on their backs for the rest of their lives. The marks are symbols of the teeth of the crocodile. The boys are now crocodile men and can live in the dangerous forest.1. The Niowra believe ______.A. boys should do something specialB. teenagers are born to be crocodile menC. the forest is the most dangerous placeD. crocodiles created the earth and humans2. During the ceremony, the boys do all the things except ______.A. living in a small house for six weeksB. fighting against fear and painC. watching how crocodiles swim and eatD. having small cuts on their backs3. The passage is mainly about ______.A. how boys become crocodile menB. why the Niowra raise crocodilesC. if crocodiles can be people’s friendsD. when crocodile ceremonies startBNo one can remember everything, but everyone can learn to how to improve their memory. Here are some ways. None of them can make your memory 100% perfect, but all of them are helpful:●When you want to remember something, tell a friend about it. This way the new information becomes more memorable. Later on, think about the conversation with your friend. It will remind(提醒) you of the main information you wanted to remember.●Our memory works well when we are asleep. If you want to remember something, go to bed and go to sleep immediately after learning it.●If you have to remember something big, break it down into smaller pieces. It’s easier to remember 198756430387 if you break it into four smaller pieces 198-756-430-387.●If you want to remember a piece of information, and you can’t, don’t get angry. Relax and tell yourself, “If it’s important, I will remember it later.”●One of the best ways of remembering is to “make pictures” on the“movie screen” of your mind, and it’s fun, too. Scientists say that our brain works a lot in pictures. So sometimes, if we want to remember new information, it helps to make a picture story. Imagine someone wants to go shopping for the following things:Now make a crazy story: Once upon a time. There was a girl. She was hungry and looking for FOOD. Her name was on her T-shirt in big golden letters: GOLDIE FISH. She put on her ROLLER SKA TES and tried to leave the house, but she tripped(绊倒) over her VOCABULARY BOOK and fell on a BOTTLE OF SHAMPOO. The shampoo was everywhere: on the floor, on the chair…Let yourself be surprised by your memory.1.

Arriving on the island, the instructor, Mr Wang, gave us a tent, some food, a map, etc. and asked us to take them all to the top of a hill on mountain bikes. It was quite hard, but we all managed to get there before lunch. After a short rest and a quick sandwich, we tried to find a good place to put up the tent. Standing at the top of the cliff(悬崖), Jenny suggested camping there. However, Mr Wang pointed out that the strong wind might blow the tent away. In the end, we found a nice place that protected ourselves from the wind.Putting up the tent was very hard. It was only after two hours that it was finally done. By that time, we were all hungry. So we had to make a fire to cook our food. After dinner, we were all full and happy.Survival training course—Day 2We woke up early today and made breakfast quickly as we had to get on well with the next part of our training. Today’s task was to work out how to get to a secret place using a map and a compass.Following the instructions Mr Wang had given us, we made our way across the island, mountain biking and even boating to the last checkpoint. It was such an exciting trip—we needed to go caving(洞穴) and rock climbing at different signposts which showed us directions anddistances. When we finally reached the place, we were tired.

My parents, although sharing my love of music, didn’t think it was a good choice I took up music as a job. Considering my family background, this was understandable. My grandfather had taught music for forty years at Springhill College in Mobile, and though he was much loved by his students, he didn’t earn(挣钱) enough to provide for his large family. As a result of this example in the family, my parents strongly asked me to the college instead of a conservatory(音乐学院) of music although I loved my violin and spent most of my spare time practicing.Before my graduation from Columbia, the family ran into some money problems and I felt it was my duty to leave college and take a job. That was why I took a business job, which I always think of as the wasted years.I went into it for money, for being able to help the family. Money is all I got out of it. It was not enough. I felt that life was passing me by.My wish was to save enough to quit(退出)and then go to Europe to study music. I continued to make money, and finally, bit by bit, earned enough to make me able to go abroad. The family got out of the trouble and ____________. I felt like a free man and sailed for Europe. I stayed for four years, worked harder than I had ever dreamed of working and enjoyed every minute of it.“Enjoyed” is too soft a word. I walked on air. I really lived.

中考英语英语阅读理解试题及答案

中考英语英语阅读理解试题（含答案）一、英语阅读理解专项练习试卷1.阅读理解Saying no starts small"All right then — just one more piece..." Words every girl has said when they are faced with the delicious cheesecake. Of course, many of us know we may eat the whole thing in the end.It isn't just girls. Most of us find it hard to say "no" to something attractive. However, scientists now say that willpower is very important to success and a happy life.Scientists in different countries have been studying the effects of willpower on people's lives for a long time. The results are similar, according to an article on February 7 in the Guardian, a famous British newspaper.In one experiment, scientists told young children that they could either have a marshmallow （圆形软糖）now, or two marshmallows in 15 minutes. Waiting obviously needed more willpower. Scientists then continued studying the children as they grew up. They wanted to see if some children always had stronger willpower. They also wanted to see how having stronger willpower affected their lives.Years later, scientists found that the children who had waited for two marshmallows were all healthier, happier and richer adults. Oppositely, the children who had shown weaker willpower at that young age were more likely to be in low-paid jobs, to be overweight, to have social problems.But there is hope, Roy F Baumeister, an American social psychology（心理学）professor （教授） told the Guardian. Baumeister says we can train our willpower just like we train our muscles（肌肉）.Even a little practice can strengthen （加强）our overall self-control if we do it regularly.You could start by making yourself stand up straight, speaking in complete sentences, or using a computer mouse with the other hand. Scientists have found that people who manage to change little habits often perform much better in laboratory willpower tests.Like muscles, willpower can "get tired". Don't try to do too many things at the same time, or when you don't have enough energy, for example when you are ill. If you already feel tired, you can try to recharge（恢复）your willpower with a good night's sleep and by eating well.（1）The example of a girl eating cheesecake is used toA.prove that girls have weak willpowerB.introduce the topic of willpower to the readersC.show that cheesecake is especially attractive to girlsD.show the connection between willpower and success（2）What can we infer from the experiment?A.The scientists had already known the results before the experiment.B.It showed that willpower is the most important to success and a happy life.C.The children who chose to wait were more likely to be successful in their lives.D.The children who chose only one marshmallow at first had stronger willpower.(3)Which of the following is NOT mentioned about the training of willpower?A.You should have a goal every day.B. Good rest and proper diet can help.C. Willpower needs to be exercised regularly.D. Keep willpower from being used too much. (4) What is the article mainly about?A. How willpower and muscles are similar and how they can be trained.B.How willpower affects people's lives and how it is similar to muscles.C.How willpower is important to success and how we can make it stronger.D.How willpower is connected with success and how they affect each other【答案】(1) B(2) C(3)A(4)C【解析】【分析】主要讲了毅力的重要性和怎样让毅力变得更强。

She practised over and over again, sometimes until it was very dark.One day, I asked her, "why do you practise so hard? You are playing very well.""That's because I want to play in the city basketball team," she looked at me and said proudly. "But I'm still not good enough. I must work hard."
