九年级中考英语阅读理解专练第(一)篇Tea and coffee are two of the most popular drinks in the world. However, people usually like one more than the other. These drinks also have very different uses.Tea drinking started in China over 4,000 years ago. Tea is made from leaves. These days, some people drink tea for health, using it to help with stress(压力) or losing weight. However, most people in tea-drinking countries think of tea as more than just a healthy drink. In fact, tea drinking in some countries is a part of the culture. In Turkey(土耳其), tea is always there when people meet. Whether in someone’s home or a company, tea is always offered as a way of welcoming. In the UK, homes and offices usually have tea time. Tea and other dishes are served at tea time in the afternoon. It is a way of relaxing with friends .Coffee came much later than tea, just over 1,000 years ago. Coffee is made from beans. Something in the coffee beans makes a person feel active. Most people do not drink coffee to relax. Instead, they drink coffee to get going. Many people drink coffee in the morning to help them wake up. Others will also drink coffee during short breaks in the afternoon to keep going through the working day. Some people may visit coffee shops just to meet and talk with friends. However, many people in coffee shops drink coffee while working on their computers.Is tea or coffee more common in your country? Between the two, which do you like to drink more?1.

Take famous poet Li Bai for example. His family nam e, which came from his father’s name, was Li. His given name was Bai, and his courtesy name was Taibai.People used their given names when they were among family members. But in social life, they called each other by their courtesy names to show respect. This was mostly done among people of similar age. If you were talking about yourself, or if your elders were talking about you, the given name would be used instead of the courtesy name.Men would get their courtesy names when they turned 20. It was a symbol of adulthood (成年礼). Women would get their courtesy names after getting married.One’s courtesy name often had something to do with one’s given name. For example, the name of Mencius was Meng Ke. His courtesy name was Ziyu. Both Ke and Ziyu mean “carriage (马车)”. Zhuge Liang’s given name was Liang, which means “bright”. His courtesy name was Kongming, which means “very bright”.1. How many parts are there in people’s names in ancient China?A. three.B. four.C. five.D. six.2.

Even though snowflakes are related to winter, she let others feel warmth, hope and light through her performance. “I’m also disabled and I want to do something for them with my music,” said Ma.Ma went blind at the age of two because of an illness. She became interested in music when she was young. She started to learn to play the piano at five and the violin at nine, experiencing the “colorful” music through sound and emotion.Ma’s mother Ha Chunyan, a former music teacher in a primary school, helped her memorize the music score (乐谱) before she played the piano. Ma could not see the keys and always played the wrong notes. It took her thousands of tries to play a piece correctly.Learning the violin was more challenging. Ma needed to feel the teacher’s hands, arms and back to learn the movements, and listen to the strings (弦) over and over again to feel the muscles (肌肉) herself.“After three years of learning, she still could not make any sound except terrible noises,” said Ha, who advised her daughter to give up the violin. But Ma said, “As I’ve been practicing so long, it’s hard to give up. I believe I will play better if I persist in practicing.”In 2018, Ma got a chance to follow Sheng Yuan and Cao Yuhan, famous musicians from the CentralConservatory of Music, to study music in Beijing. She left her home in Ningxia to follow her musical dream, though she knew there would be more challenges ahead.Ma expressed her excitement about performing at the big event. “All my hard work has paid off. I’m proud of standing on the stage today.”1. The violin performance made people feel __________.A. regret, hope and lightB. fear, warmth and hopeC. warmth, hope and lightD. pity, warmth and light2.

Ma began to learn to play the piano at nine.B. In 2018, Ma got a chance to study music in Beijing.C. It was more challenging for Ma to learn the piano than the violin.D. Ma could memorize the music score by herself before playing the piano.4. What does the underlined phrase “persist in” probably mean in Paragraph 5?A. keep onB. end upC. take pride inD. look forward to5. Ma’s story tells us __________.A. old habits die hardB. there is no place like homeC. practice makes perfectD. a good friend is like a mirror第(四)篇We know many musical instruments well, such as pianos, violins, drums and so on. What about the erhu? The erhu is a traditional Chinese instrument. It is the most popular of the huqin family, and it has a long history.The modern erhu developed from the xiqin, which was played by many ethnic minorities (少数民族) during the Tang Dynasty. In the Song Dynasty, musicians began to use the erhu to perform different kinds of music, and itbecame quite a popular instrument. With the rise of some forms of folk art, the art of the erhu developed quickly during the Ming and Qing Dynasties. It became an important accompanying (伴奏) instrument in different folk music. At present, it is used in both traditional and modern music, such as in pop, rock and jazz. It has even become a solo (独奏) instrument. One of the most famous musical pieces played on the erhu is Erquan Yingyue.As the erhu was mainly played by common people and the playing skills were passed down orally (口头地), there are few written records about the erhu that can be found. To study the history and the development of the erhu, historians (历史学者) usually turn to ancient paintings. The earliest pictures of this instrument were found in Yulin Caves and Eastern Thousand Buddha Caves in Gansu Province, where five erhu pictures were discovered on murals (壁画).1. When did the erhu become a popular instrument?A. In the Tang Dynasty.B. In the Song Dynasty.C. In the Ming Dynasty.D. In recent years.2.

Which is TRUE according to the passage?A. The huqin belongs to the erhu family.B. Folk art stops the development of the erhu.C. People can find plenty of written records about the erhu.D. The erhu is used in both traditional and modern music now.4. You may read the passage in the ________ section of a newspaper.A. cultureB. businessC. healthD. nature5. The passage mainly talks about ________.A. the forms of folk musicB. the history of the erhuC. the rise of different dynastiesD. the development of Chinese instruments第(五)篇Just a few days after his 18th birthday, Beijing 2022 gold medal winner Su Yiming received a surprise gift—aletter from Xi Jinping, President of the People’s Republic of China.In the letter, Xi expressed his congratulations to Su and other sportsmen in ice and snow sports for their great achievements at the Beijing Winter Olympics, hoping what they had achieved would encourage young Chinese to aim(立目标) high.When Su first stepped onto a snowboard at the age of four, a future as a world-class sportsman seemed to be “a dream too big” for him. Little did he know that he would not only compete for his country but also take home gold. With the great excitement of winning an Olympic gold medal still fresh in his mind, Su wrote a letter to the president, telling him how lucky he felt to have made his dream come true.Su still remembers what Xi wrote in the reply, “The new era is the time for young people to realize their dreams.”“I have always kept those words in my mind,” Su said.“When I made up my mind to be a professional(职业的) snowboarder, I know there is a big gap between my performance(表现) and that of the top sportsmen in the world. But I have been working hard to realize my dream. Now my story shows the fact that hard work will pay off.” Su said.Su believes the sky is the limit. “Find the thing you love, believe in yourself and do your very best. Finally, your dream will come true.”Now Su has his strong wish to win all the competitions in his sporting field.1. What was the surprise gift Su Yiming got after his birthday?A. A letter.B.

Most of them cover huge areas of land where nobody lives, and usually far way from cities. However, the National Parks in England include places where people live and work, as well as wild areas where there are few human activities.The National Parks in England are called “England’s Breathing Spaces” because they are places where people can go to be in the open air, away from the dirt and noise of cities. They provide wonderful scenes of mountains, woods, grasslands and wetlands. And there are plenty of activities to do in all of the National Parks in England. Visitors can walk or ride bikes for fun. Many of the parks put on activities for families.Every year there are about 110 million visitors to the parks, bringing many benefits(益处) to the areas. At the same time, it creates problems too. First, life can be difficult for local people. Car parks and roads are too crowded. Gift shops and cafes take the place of many everyday shops. Even house prices in some areas can become too high. Besides, country roads can be damaged, for too many people walk, cycle or ride horses on them. Roads can be rebuilt, but then they look less natural. Another big problem to the National Parks is litter. In the parks it is a danger to wild animals. Broken glass can also cause fires by focusing the rays of the sun. Such fires in wild places can be out of control.How can people help? All National Parks in England are making more rules, which tell people how to take good care of their environment. If these rules are followed, the National Parks will be well kept and continue to give pleasure to many people for a very long time.1.According to paragraph 1, what can we learn about the National Parks?A.There are only several national parks in the worldB.

Where may you read the article?A.In Chinese textbooksB. In fashion magazinesC. In history booksD. In geographical newspapers第(八)篇During work hours, among the sounds of machines, the kitche n of Bach’s Bakery (面包房) is especially tidy and quiet, not because of any rules against talking during work hours, but because all of the workers have a hearing disability. They are hard-working and professional in their work, and use sign language to communicate with each other from time to time.Bach’s Bakery lies in Changsha City, Hunan Province. It is run by a German couple, Uwe Brutzer and his wife Dorothee Brutzer, who started it up ten years ago with the purpose of creating more jobs for those disabled in the neighborhood. So far, Bach’s Bakery has trained around 30 hearing disabled people. While some skilled workers found jobs in other bakeries and hotels and have been able to live on their own, several of them have stayed to work atthe bakery after they completed the training.The Brutzers’ work has won the support of many people in China. With the spread of news about the bakery, many Internet users learned about Bach’s Bakery and its inspiring story. As a result, many local people in Changsha as well as visitors from other parts of the country come to buy their products, Uwe said that public attention has encouraged them a lot and helped grow the bakery’s business, resulting in workers getting higher pay. However, what he values more is that, through media (媒体) reports, more people have come to understand that disabled people can work as well as other people when they are given chances.Now, as they are preparing to return to Germany, they have found a German couple teaching in China as the new managers, and handed over the bakery to a public welfare (福利) organization. Their wish is to continue providing free training for the hearing disabled and that the bakery will never be changed into a shop with moneymaking as its main goal.1.

In Uwe’s opinion, the greatest value of public attention is that ________.A. disabled workers are paid moreB. his shop becomes more popularC. the disabled are better understoodD. sales of their products get stronger5. What’s the best title for the passage?A. A Silent BakeryB. A Special WishC. The Success of the DisabledD. The Rules of Bach’s Bakery第(九)篇Scientists are looking for ways that we can effectively use the light and heat from the sun. One idea that has caught their imagination is solar roads. They are expected to produce clean and renewable energy.With solar panels on the surfaces, solar roads cost more than traditional roads. However, besides the functions of traditional roods, they have the panels to receive sunlight and change it into the energy to supply power to homes, factories and street lighting. There are four layers in a solar panel:•Base layer: It is made of insulation material and forms a good grip with the road below this layer.•Middle layer: This is the most important layer. It holds all kinds of power lines connecting all the solar parts in the panel, like LED lights and the heating system.•Top layer: This layer is super-strong glass. It allows the panel to hold the weight of the heaviest vehicles.•Capping: This is the topmost layer used to offer extra protection to the solar parts in the panel. The layer must be rough enough to provide the traction for the safety of vehicles.With the smart design, solar roads can successfully charge the vehicles on them. And the roads have inbuilt LED lights to replace the traditional rood signs and lines, which are usually painted and harmful to humans. What’s more, the heating systems in the solar roads can take care of the snow and ice on the roads for drivers.Test solar roads have been built in several countries (France, China, USA, etc.) since 2014. The first word solar road project, Metrics of Watt Way in France, was set up by a French company called Construction Colas. It was an example of low effectiveness. In the first year, it had been expected to produce around 767 kWh of energy a day, but it only produced 409 kWh. Even so, the production could increase with design improvements. Of course, more time is needed before this technology is put into use.Solar roads may not be widely used in the near future, but they are indeed great for an environment-friendly and energy-saving world.1. Solar roads ________.A. offer power to homesB. get energy from factoriesC. keep the sunlight awayD. cost less than traditional roods2. Which of the following about the layers of a solar panel is TRUE according to the passage?A. The base layer is the most important layer.B. There are many power lines in the middle layer.C. The top layer lies on the top of the solar panel.D. The capping should be smooth enough for drivers.3. The first world solar road project ________.A. was set up in China in 2014B. showed high effectiveness as expectedC. was started by a US companyD. could get better with design improvements4. What is the best title for the passage?A. Solar Roads: A Widely Used InventionB. Solar Roads: A Safety Guard for DriversC. Solar Roads: A New Idea for Clean EnergyD. Solar Roads: A Way to Produce LED Lights5. Which part of newspaper may you read this passage?A. HistoryB. FashionC. SportD. Environment第(十)篇Steven Spielberg is the world’s most famous director. Hundreds of millions of people around the world have seen his films like Firelight, Amblin’ and The Color Purple. His films include two of the most popular films: Jurassic Park and E.T: The Extraterrestrial.Each of Steven’s parents had a deep influence on the young boy’s growing and character. His mother had given up her job when she married. When Steven was six, his father took him to Philadelphia to see his first film, The Greatest Show on Earth. Steven enjoyed this exciting circus (马戏团) story, however he could not understand how a circus could perform on a screen. Part of him felt disappointed that he couldn’t smell the sawdust (锯木) and gunpowder.When Steven was twelve, his parents bought an 8mm Kodak movie camera. Steven’s father handed Steven the camera and asked him to try. The first efforts were terrible, but Steven was interested in camera. He used his toys as characters and began making short films. By his teens Steven had made his first short film, called The Great TrainCrash. Before long the Spielberg house began to look like a film set, with furniture and lights being moved around to prepare for a new film.He is skilled in making a film excite, sadden or amuse people as they watch it. Spielberg understands the life in the countryside, television and fast cars, all of which became more common in his childhood in 1950s America. Films such as Jaws and Close Encounters of the Third Kind succeed because they are about ordinary people.After all the years Steven Spielberg had spent dreaming about getting into Hollywood.

Several Asian hospitals are doing experiments with tele-medicine. Tele-medicine is a technology that allows doctors to "see" patients without them being in the same place. This is made possible through high-speed communication networks (网络).At both ends of the line, theway of video-meeting lets them see and talk to each other. Blood pressure (血压) and body temperature are directly shown on computers.Tele-medicine is already in wide use in some places such as the United States andGermany. Among other uses, village doctors hold "consultations ( 会诊)" with far-away experts (专家) . The experts can also help them during operations.Tele-medicine has been slow to reach Asia because of high costs, besides other reasons. When things improve, this technology will develop very fast. Chinese University of Hong Kong's medical school has joined a big hospital in Beijing, and Thailand is building a tele-medicine station connecting 20 areas.Tele-medicine will do good to patients because doctors from different places can see them and give their medical advice. The help is quite important if the disease is an unusual one. It also helps spread medical knowledge among experts.As tele-medicine develops well, its costs will be lower and it will become very popular in the medical field.76题为判断正误(“T”表示正确,“F”表示错误);77完成句子;78—79 题简略回答问题;80 题将稳中划线句子译为汉语。

Unit 1 How can we become good learners?过模拟If you put your history notes under your pillow and sleep on them the night before an exam, will you do any better in the exam? Most of us have hoped this might help. However, knowledge can’t go through the pillow into your brain. But that doesn’t mean you can’t learn while you are asleep.Scientists aren’t exactly sure how it works, but they have discovered that the brain can learn things during sleeping hours.In one experiment, researchers gave German speakers some Dutch words to learn. Then, they divided them into three groups. The researchers played the Dutch words for people in Group 1 while they were asleep, without telling these German speakers what they were doing. The sound was low so it didn’t wake them up, and only the newly introduced words were used.Another group listened to the same words while they were awake. The researchers found the people in Group 1 were better able to identify and translate the words later. This was true only for the words that were played while they slept. The third group listened to words when they walked. The walkers didn't have the same success in remembering the words as the sleeping group.The researchers later found that people had more slow-wave brain activity all over the night. They said that more slow waves made people have a better memory for the new words.1.When did the researchers play foreign words for people in Group 1 in the experiment?A. Before they went for a walk.B. Before they went to bed.C. When they were asleep.D. When they were having dinner.2.What does the underlined word "identify" mean in Chinese?A. 提高B. 辨认出C. 隐藏D. 逃避3.The last two paragraphs tell us the experiment's______.A. resultB. reasonC. influenceD. purpose4.Which of the following is true?A. Scientists think people can't learn during sleeping hours.B. German speakers enjoy learning Dutch words.C. Slow-wave brain activity can help people have a good sleep.D. People in Group 3 didn't remember the words as well as those in Group 1.5.Where is the passage most probably from?A. A history textbook.B. A science magazine.C. A travel newspaper.D. A modern novel.答案解析【解题导语】人在睡觉的时候大脑也可以继续学习吗?看看本文是怎么说的吧。

According to a survey(调查), a third of the U.S. children send more than 100 text messages a day. Sending text messages is becoming more and more popular among young peopl ein China, too. Children prefer text messages to communicate(交流) with friends no matter(不论) where they are, even under the noses of parents and teachers. It seems that some children are “addicted(上瘾)” to sending te xt messages. In fact, sending too many text messages is bad for their lives, health and study. However, it isn’t all bad. It helps to improve our lives in some ways. Today many children greet(问候) each other on holidays by sending text messages instead of writing paper cards. During the last Spring Festival, more than 15 billion(十亿) text messages were sent in China. “Sending text messages helps save my pocket money,” said Wang Cheng, a friend of mine, “and it saves paper, too.” Many parents send their kids text messages instead of giving orders by mouth. It sounds more friendly. And children can accept them easily.20.Sending ______ is a part of our lives today.A.magazinesB.text messagesC.cards21.______ young peopl e like sending text messages, too.A.ChineseB.EnglishC.Indian22.Why is sending too many text messages bad for study?A.Because it costs much time.B.Because it costs much money.C.Because it makes the parents angry.23.Today many children greet each other on holidays by ______.A.visitingB.writing paper cardsC.sending text messages24.Sending text messages can ______.A.make us study wellB.save money and paperC.make children cleverWhen Chinese peopl e greet each other for the first time, they often ask, “May I know your family name, pl ease?” There is no question that family names are very important to the Chinese. They are cl osely connected with the Chinese culture and values. In many ways, they hold the key to our und erstanding of the Chinese family history.Chinese people usually talk about Baijiaxing or Surnames when it comes to Chinese family names. Written in the early Northern Song dynasty, the book record ed 504 common family names in China. But according to the present records, the Chinese have at l east 5,662 family names altogether. 3,484 of them are single character family names, and 2,032 aretwo-character family names. Another 146 are three-character family names, which are hardly seen today.Chinese family names have a history dating back more than 4,000 years. But the origin (起源)of them is very complex. There is one family name with many origins, as well as several family names with the same origin. Still, there is the name that has changed into many in the course of the d eveloped history.Chinese family names have witnessed(见证)thousands of years of d evelopment. They are not just the characters that Chinese people put before their names, but a unique part of the Chinese culture. Experts are now making great efforts for the application(申请)of Chinese family names for the UNESCO (联合国教科文组织)program Memory of the World, hoping to introduce the culture behind Chinese family names to the worl d.25.The first paragraph talks about the ________ of Chinese family names.A.origin B.development C.importance D.popularity26.The Chinese have ________ Chinese family names now.A.about 500 B.about 2,000 C.less than 3,500 D.more than 5,600 27.The underlined word “complex” means ________.A.difficult to understand B.difficult to useC.difficult to remember D.difficult to write28.Chinese family names ________.A.didn't appear until the Song dynasty B.are an important part of the Chinese culture C.are about 2,032 three—character family names D.are an important part of the UNESCO program29.The experts' purpose in putting forward the application program is to ________.A.make Chinese names more popular B.introduce a book named BaijiaxingC.d o a survey on Chinese family names D.make Chinese family names well knownEach country has its own "art of living". For example, the word "niksen" shows how Dutch people fight stress and tiredness in a fast- paced lifestyl e.The term "niksen" comes from the Dutch word "niks", which refers to"nothing". In practice, "niksen" could be as simple as just relaxing, looking at your surroundings or listening to music - as l ong as it's without purpose and not d one in order to achieve something. Think "simply sitting in a chair or looking out of the wind ow," says Ruut Veenhoven, a professor at Erasmus University who studies happiness."Niksen" sounds contrary to the advice that we were all given as kids. Nowadays, we're always told to stay busy and work harder than everyone else. But "niksen" is against that attitude. It offers the chance to "deliciously d o nothing", as Carolien Hamming tol d Time. She thinks that "niksen" is very important to staying healthy, since it's a form of mental relaxation and healing. Just like a wil d animal lying in wait for their food, "niksen" seems to be a natural state of being.For some people,"niksen" can mean more than just mental relaxation. It's also a way to imagine new ideas or plans. As an early adopter of "niksen", Jenny Hol den, adds it to her daily lunch breaks. "Within 10 minutes of doing nothing-just staring and listening to myself-my head began to clear and pick out my work and home to-do lists", she told the Metro UK. However, for many, d oing nothing isn't as simpl e as it sounds. In fact, it can be somewhat challenging to sit still and stare out a wind ow.Above all, "niksen" is a suggestion for balancing work and rest. As Dutch-born writer Ogla Mecking wrote in Whoolly Magazine,"niksen" is the full enjoyment of life's breaks".Everyone is encouraged to have your "niksen" moments. They give you the strength to face everyday challenges.30.The term "niksen" means ________A.living in the moment B.being free and d oing nothingC.staying busy and working hard D.using your wil dest imagination31.Hamming's example is to show ________.A."niksen" helps fight against illnessB."niksen" can improve one's mental healthC."niksen" can shorten the distance between peopl eD."niksen" helps peopl e come up with new thoughts32.Which of the foll owing is the "niksen"" moment?A.Sitting on the chair and dreaming.B.Going hiking al one on sunny days.C.Lying on the bed and thinking about nothing.D.Watching TV whil e eating some snacks.33.What is the passage mainly about?A.The importance of enjoying happy moments.B.Suggestions on how to balance work and rest.C.An introduction to one of the Dutch lifestyles.D.An explanation of some Danish words about health.Yew Tree Farm—the Best Place for You!Yew Tree Farm is famous as a"spinning gallery"(精美画廊).

A group of students in the United Sates is putting that belief to the test.The students are from the Stevens Institute of Technology. They successfully designed and built a robot for discovering mines at the bottom of the sea. The underwater robot is call ed Perseus II. It costs about $15,000 to buil d. The stud ents made the robot to answer a challenge from the U.S. Department of Defense(国防部).The students use a vid eo game controller to direct its movements. Devices known asthrusters enable the robot to go up, d own and toward its target in the water. Video cameras on the robot send images back to a computer through a 13-meter-l ong cable(电缆). Perseus II also has a set of lasers(激光), they are used to measure the size of an object.The robot is the creation of five college students. They worked for over six months to design and buil d Perseus II."Their goal was to go d own and find the mine and not only just find it but provide information to an expert on the surface so he or she could make a decision whether it was something dangerous or not before they removed it," Michael DeLorne said.Perseus II was successfully tested in Florida with similar robots built at other engineering schools. In a separate development, new stud ents at the Stevens Institute of Technology have already started on the next project. It is a flying vehicle they are calling Perseus III.39.Why did the five college students make the robot?A.To go up, d own and toward its target und erwater.B.To provide information to an expert on the surface.C.To answer a chall enge from the Department of Defense.D.To prove hands-on experiences is the best way to l earn.40.Which of the foll owing is NOT part of Perseus II?A.a set of lasers B.a computerC.video cameras D.a video game controll er41..What d oes the word “mine” in Paragraph 5 most probably mean ?A.宝藏B.海鱼C.矿井D.水雷42.What can we infer(推断) about Perseus III according to the passage?A.Perseus III may be used in the sky.B.Perseus III has been successfully tested in Florida.C.Perseus III will cost more money and time.D.Perseus III and Perseus II are mad e by the same stud ents.The first robots were invented in the 1920s. Robots have appeared in many American films. In some films, they are stronger, faster and cleverer than people.In real life, robots are mainly used in factories. They d o some dangerous and difficult jobs for humans.Robots also helpdisabledpeopl e, for example, blind people. Today many blind peopl e have a guide dog to help them. In the future, guide dogs might be robot d ogs.One kind of robot guide d og has wheels. It moves in front of the owner. It is very cl ever. It knows the speed of its owner’s walk. The owner wears a special belt (带子). This belt sends instructions to the owner fr om the d og, such as “Stop here”, “Turn l eft” or “Turn right”.In the United States, another kind of robot helps disabl ed people to take care of themselves in their daily life. The robot hears the sound of its owner’s voice. It foll ows instructions such as “Turn the page” or “Make a cup of coffee”.Robots are also used in American hospitals. They can d o simpl e jobs. At one hospital, for example, a robot takes meals from the kitchen to patients’ rooms. It never gets lost because this robot has a map of the hospital in its computer memory.Though robots can help peopl e in many different ways, they will never take the place of humans.43.From the passage, we know robots cannot be ______.A.dangerous animals B.factory workersC.guide dogs D.hospital helpers44.A robot guide d og ______.A.goes in front of the blind peopl eB.walk side by side with blind peopleC.has a map in its headD.helps patients with their meals45.The underlined word “disabled” means ______.A.不能的B.有害的C.失灵的D.残疾的46.Some disabled people need robots help to ______.A.take care of themselvesB.talk to other peopl eC.become scientistsD.d o dangerous jobs47.In the passage, the writer wants to tell us that ______.A.robots are stronger and cleverer than humansB.disabled people cannot l ook after themselves without the robotsC.robots will take the place of humans some day in the futureD.robots can help humans in many different waysAll living things on the earth need other living things to live. Nothing lives alone. Most animals must live in a group, and even a plant grows cl ose together with others of the same kind. Sometimes one living thing kills another, one eats and the other is eaten. Each kind of life eats another kind of life in order to live, and together they form a food chain(食物链).Some food chains are simple, while others are not. But all food chains begin with the sun, and all food chains become broken up if one of the links disappears.All life needs sunlight to live on. But only plants can use sunlight directly. Plantsare“factories”.They make food from sunlight, water and things in the soil and air.Plants feed all other living things. Animals can only use the sun’s energy after it has been changed into food by plants. Some animals feed directly on plants, others eat smaller animals. Meat-eating animals are only eating plants indirectly.What about human beings? We are members of many food chains. We eat wheat, rice,vegetables, fruits and so on. We also eat meat and drink milk. But men often break up the food chains. They kill wild animals. They also make rivers, lakes and seas dirty. When these rivers, lakes and seas are polluted, the fish in them cannot be eaten. If men eat the fish, they will get strange diseases.Each form of life is linked to all others. Breaking the links puts all life in danger.48.How d oes every living thing on the earth live?A.Each plant can live alone.B.Each animal can live alone.C.Every living thing on the earth cannot live without others.49.Which living things can use the sun’s energy directly?A.Animals B.Plants C.All living things50.Who often break up the food chains?A.Human beingsB.AnimalsC.Plant and animals51.Which of the foll owing do you think is the best titl e of this passage?A.Animals B.Plants C.Food Chains52.Where can you probably find this passage?A.In a news report.B.In your textbook.C.In a business magazine.Negative energy can be found almost everywhere. There are people complaining about life often, practicing bad habits and bringing you d own. The emotions they spread influence your thoughts and actions in a bad way, so avoiding the sources of negative energy is necessary if you want to be more successful.Everyone can be easily affected by negative emotion unless you learn how to deal with it. The foll owing ways will show you how positive people deal with negativity, so you can applythem to your life.Spend time in natureBeing in nature clears your mind and relaxes your body. Positive people spend a part of their day getting outside to enjoy the beauty of our planet, It's the best way to charge your batteries!Practice positive thinkingThoughts influence your actions, so, if you think negatively, there will be no bright future ahead of you. Positive peopl e don't believe in the excuses their minds come up with, By finding the good side of any probl em, they make sure they are mentally set for success.Stay away from negative peopl eYour surroundings have a great influence on yourself. If you spend time with positive people, you are more likely to be happy and satisfied. On the other hand, if you are too close to those who always complain, you will have a hard time removing the negativity from your life.Accept failurePositive people embrace failure as they realize it's an important way to l earn and grow. Whenever they fail, they work hard to get to the top again instead of giving up. Even though a failure brings negative emotion, they believe it is brief and will go away quickly. To speed up the process, they keep thinking positively.53.The negative people are easy to ______.A.get success B.spend time outside C.believe in themselves D.make you upset54.The best way to make you active again is ______.A.working hard B.enjoying the beauty of natureC.talking with friends D.practicing positive thinking55.When positive peopl e fail, they often ______.A.give up quickly B.believe failure will go away quicklyC.go out to travel D.continue to do the same thing56.The passage mainly tells us ______.A.how to keep away from negative people B.how to be successfulC.how to avoid negative energy D.how to be relaxedTwo children stood outside the door with ol d coats."Any old papers, lady?" asked one of them.I was busy. ①I wanted to say no, but I saw thattheir shoes had holes in them and that they were wet."Come in and I'll make you a cup of hot tea."

Meghan walked up with Lucy, her favourite toy rabbit. She hugged Lucy and gave her a final kiss, then laid her gently on top of the other toys.“Oh, honey,” I said, “You don’t have to give Lucy t o them. You love her so much.” Meghan nodded seriously and said, “Lucy makes me happy, mum. Maybe she’ll make that little girl happy, too.”The boys watched, open-mouthed. Without a word, Brad rose and went to his room. He came back carrying his favorite comic book. He looked over at Meghan and placed it in the box next to Lucy. A smile spread across Brett’s face. Then he jumped up and ran to get some of his prized Matchbox cars.I pulled all of them into my arms.

Nancy felt surprised when I finally finished telling her all the names I knew.My interest in stars began when I was eight. My aunt took me to a planetarium (天文馆). A guide showed us the groups of stars and told us stories about how they got their names. The stories were wonderful.Everyone knows we can see the stars bett er when it’s not cloudy, but lots of people don’t realize that a bright moon also stops us seeing very much.

There are so many lights in the city that we have to go into the countryside to see any stars. I’m planning to make videos about stars in the countryside. I’ll post them online for everyone to watch.

Lion dancing first started in China centuries ago. It is meant to bring good luck in the coming year. Usually, a lion is made up of two dancers. One dancer controls the head. The other controls the tail.“I think of it as a sport,” says Anthony Huang, aged 16. He is a member of the New York Chinese Freemasons Athletic Club. Anthony performs (表演) as the lion’s head. It can weigh 20 pounds. Lion dancing is important to Anthony. “This tradition really lifts me up,” he says.In the past, lion dancing was performed mostly by men. But it is different today. LionDanceMe is a lion dancing group in San Francisco, California. There are boys and girls on its team. They dance together. “Anyone can take up lion dancing. You have to believe that you can do it,” says Ananda Tan g-Lee, a 17-year-old girl.Lion dancing will continue to evolve. But a team’s sense of community will never change. “We call it a family,” Ananda says. “It’s really great, because we always have each other’s backs.”16.Why do people perform lion dancing?A.To sell lion-dancing costumes.

Do you know how to solve it? Conflict resolution is a peaceful way of trying to deal with a conflict. Both sides in the conflict explain what they think happened to cause it. The person who listens to both sides is called the mediator (调解人).After both sides tell what they think happened to cause the conflict, they discuss ways to solve it. They try to come up with a “resolution” that both sides agree to. They cannot be angry during the communication. Everyone should use good listening and attending skills while talking. If voices get too loud or it appears that someone is angry, the mediator will speak up and have them treat each other with respect. After different suggestions are shared in how to mediate the conflict, it is time for discussing the best solution.Here is an example of how conflict resolution works step by step in a school playground setting:♦Someone says a student pushed him on the football field.♦The person who was accused as the “pusher” says it was actually an a ccident.♦The person who was pushed gets the mediator.♦The mediator takes the two persons to a quieter place, away from others to talk.♦The mediator calms them down and lets them know he understands their feelings.♦Each person describes what happened.♦The mediator repeats what he heard, so it is clear to everyone.♦The mediator asks for ideas to solve the problem.♦The two persons offer their own solutions.♦The two persons have a discussion and come to an agreement.♦The mediator makes sure the persons follow the solution.♦The mediator offers praise for solving the problem.Conflict resolution can be used in many environments. It encourages people to tell what really happened, to share their feelings, and to work together peacefully to solve the problem.It offers people workable steps to reach an agreement with the help of a mediator.21.In conflict resolution, the mediator’s job is to ________.A.describe what really happened to both sidesB.help both sides reach an agreement in a proper wayC.listen to both sides and then punish the trouble makerD.write down what both sides have explained in the communication22.The underlined word “accused” in this passage might means “ ________ ” in Chinese.A.惩罚B.忽略C.指责D.否认23.The writer gives the example in the passage in order to ________.A.show how a mediator works in a football matchB.help us know the importance of a mediator in daily lifeC.show how conflict resolution is used in different environmentsD.help us clearly understand the workable steps in conflict resolution24.Which of the following will be the best title?A.How to be good at fighting B.How to make a resolution.C.How to deal with angry mood. D.How to solve a conflict.七This book says our world is in danger. It describes the various threats to the environment. The situation is so serious that we must do something to save the Earth.________The writers ask us to “imagine that the Earth is inside a kind of greenhouse with the atmosphere (大气层) around it. The atmosphere acts like the glass: It lets sunlightin and keeps warmth from getting out. The atmosphere is essential for all living things. Without it, the Earth would be as cold and lifeless as the surface of the moon.”“The trouble is that our atmosphere is changing becau se we are polluting it with chemicals-in the form of gases-and it is keeping in too much heat!”These gases, mainly carbon dioxide (CO2) are produced by burning fuels such as petrol. The greenhouse effect may cause the level of the sea to rise and flood cities and even whole countries.________The burning and cutting down of the forests is making the greenhouse effect worse because trees take in CO2. It also causes soil erosion and flooding, as well as destroying the homes of people and animals that live in the forests.________Many of our habits cause pollution, especially our habit of using things once and then throwing them away. This creates massive mountains of rubbish. We do not know what to do with the rubbish and it pollutes our land and sea. For example, people throw away as many as seven billion drink cans in Britain each year. That is enough to reach from the Earth to the moon.________The book is asking us to become “green consumers”. That means we should only buy and use environmentally friendly goods so that we can save the Earth. These goods will not damage the environment.Let’s be green consumers and enjoy living a better life on the Earth!25.What does the underline word “essential” mean in the passage?A.of great harm B.of no harm C.of great importance D.of no importance 26.What is the correct order of the blanks “________ˮ in the passage?① How can we save the Earth② Bad habits③ The greenhouse effect④ Destroying the forestA.①②③④B.②④③①C.③④①②D.③④②①27.What may be the purpose of writing the passage?A.To recommend a book about living a better life.B.To recommend a book about developing habits.C.To recommend a book about pollution on the Earth.D.To recommend a book about becoming green consumers.28.How does the writer develop his ideas?A.By comparing facts and opinions. B.By giving facts and results.C.By listing examples and numbers. D.By telling stories and giving advice.。
