阅读理解（12）阅读综合训练A. Choose the best answer （根据短文内容，选择最恰当的答案): ( 12分)Every country in the world has a flag. A flag is a piece of cloth with a picture or pattern on it. The flag is a symbol that stands for the country. It is a custom in many places for people to fly or hang a flag. The flag tells something about the country and its culture. This may be about its land, its history, or the things that the people do there.Many flags have patterns of stripes(条纹). The flag of Italy has a green stripe, a white stripe and a red stripe. Each stripe tells something about Italy. The white stripe is a symbol of Italy’s snowy mountains. Some flags show pictures. The flag of Canada has a picture of a red maple（枫树）leaf, which is a symbol of the maple trees in Canada. The Mexican flag has both a pattern of stripes and a picture. The picture shows an eagle eating a snake. This picture comes from a very old Mexican story.A flag may also tell about a country’s past. The American flag is called the Stars and Stripes. It has a pattern of fifty stars and thirteen stripes. The fifty stars are a symbol of the fifty states in the country, and the thirteen stripes are a symbol of the country’s first thirteen colonies（殖民地）.However, a flag may be a symbol of a group, a school, or an event like the Olympics. The flag of the Olympics shows five rings of different colors that connect. Each ring is a symbol for a part of the world that joins in the Olympics. The Red Cross is a group that helps people who are in trouble. If a person sees the Red Cross flag, which has a red cross against a white background, he knows he can ask for help. People may fly a flag as a custom on a holiday. Children’s Day in Japan is a holiday when the country wishes for children’s happiness. It is a custom on this day to fly a flag with a picture of a fish.Flags are also used as a way to talk. A flag with patterns can be very helpful to people who do not speak the same language. Sailors on ships use flags to talk to sailors on other ships. They may not speak the same language, but they know what the patters mean. A flag with blue and white squares says “no.” A flag with five stripes that are blue, white, and red says “yes.”1.We can usually see ______ on a flag.A) different languages B) a country’s past C) a picture or pattern D) people2.Which of the following is the flag of Mexico?A) B)C)D)3.We can tell from the American flag that there are ______ states in the country.A) 1B) 3C) 13D) 504. A flag with a red cross against a white background means “______”.A) There is a church here B) The shop’s closedC) You must stop immediately D) We offer people help they need5.Sailors on ships use flags to talk because ______.A) flying or hanging a flag is a custom on shipsB) patterns are the “language” sailors all understandC) flags can be seen easily from a faraway distanceD) it’s considered polite for sailors to talk with flags6.The best title of the passage is ______.A) The Facts of Flags B) The History of FlagsC) The Development of Flags D) The Secrets of FlagsB.Choose the words or expressions and complete the passage（选择最恰当的单词或词语完成短文):（12分）I used to watch her from my kitchen window. She seemed so ___1___ as she made her way through the crowd of boys on the playground. The school was across the street from our home and I would often watch the kids as they played during break. I remember the first day I saw her playing basketball. I watched in wonder as she ran circles around the other kids. She managed to shoot jump shots just over their heads and into the net.

I walked across the street and sat down in the cool grass beside her. ___4___ I asked what was wrong. “Oh, I am just not tall enough.” came a soft reply. The coach told her that at 5’5” she would probably never get to play for a top ranked team—much less offered a scholarship—so she should stop ___5___ college. I could feel her disappointment. I asked her if she had talked to her dad about it yet. She told me that her father said those coaches were wrong. They just did not understand the power of a dream. He told her that if she truly wanted a scholarship and that nothing could stop her except one thing — her own ___6___.The next year, as she and her team went to the Northern California Championship game, she was offered a scholarship and on the college team.

Being encouraged and influenced by different peers could help you in the long run.H___3___, The people around you can also be negative(消极的) influences. Maybe a star teammate tells you never to pass the ball to a certain player, or a poplar student cheats on tests.

2020-2021学年人教版杭州市九年级英语暑假阅读训练(有答案)
人教版杭州市九年级英语上册暑假阅读训练整理一．阅读理解AThere is no doubt that technology has had a huge influence on our lives. People from all around the world can now contact each other almost at once with mobile phones and the Internet. With this technology, it seems as if the world is more connected now than ever before.Even so, there have been worries about technology making people feel lonely and disconnected from others around them. So, does this mean that technology makes us lonely?I don't think the answer is as simple as yes or no. I think it is much more complicated than that. It is true that humans need social interaction. If' we depend on technology too much to communicate with others, this can negatively influence our mental health.For me, technology is a tool. And, just like any other kind of tool - like a hammer, pencil, or ruler, for example - there is a right way and a wrong way to use it. You should use the tool in the right way or in the right place.Take social media as an example. If you only use it to compare yourself to others, you might feel sad and lonely. But, if you use it as a tool to connect with friends and family or to start a new community to talk about your hobbies and interests, that loneliness will turn into love and friendship.The next time you feel lonely after staring at your computer screen all day, maybe use that technology to reach out to a friend and invite them out for lunch or a coffee.1. How does the writer lead to the topic of the passage?A. By listing an example.B. By showing his opinions.C. By asking a question.D. By introducing two results2. Which of the following has the closest meaning to the underlined word “complicated"?A. DifficultB. Simple.C. SocialD. Necessary.3. What is the writer's attitude to technology according to the passage?A. There is no need for us to use technology to connect with others.B. We have to communicate with others with the help of technology.C. We should use technology both in a right way and in a wrong way.D. Technology won't solve loneliness unless we use it in the right way.4.What is the structure of the passage?A.①①/①①①/①B.①/①/①/①①①C.①/①①/①①/①D.①①/①①/①①BMore and more people are using crowdfunding to pay for their projects an create new products. Usually, the way to do this is to use the Internet. Instead of trying to ] get a few people to give thousands of dollars, you get hundreds of people, maybe thousands, to give a few dollars. But this is still not easy. You want people to see the value of your idea. How will you get them to give the dollars they earn to you?There are websites that make this possible. Kicker starter and GoGetFunding arc popular. What you have to do is to create a short video to explain your project. Many people begin by explaining what the product is and then telling why people need it. For example, one of the most popular crowdfunded products is a watch. The Pebble watch connects with information on a smart phone that will send information to the watch. More than 65,000 people gave money for this product. And finally, Crowdfunding raised $10. 3 million for it. However, it's not just products that people use crowdfunding for. People use it for their music, film, art or writing projects.Projects usually get from 25 to 40 percent of their money from crowdfunding sites. Who is giving all the money? When people need money, they often ask their friends and family. Crowdfunding often works the same way, but once you create your video and message, your friends share it with their friends. Why do these people give? First, there is the "feel good" factor. Giving money makes people feel good. Second, many small businesses offer rewards to people.Third, sometimes the reward is simply getting to use the product. And this is part of the success of crowdfunding. You could make a difference.5. What does the underlined word "crowdfunding" in Paragraph 1 probably mean?A. A suggestion on how to show the value of your idea on the Internet.B. A test on how to use the Internet to create new products more quickly.C. A survey on how to wisely spend thousands of dollars given by people.D. A way on how to raise money from lots of people for a certain project.6. What might be the secret of The Pebble Watch's success according to Paragraph 2?A. They sold the product at a low price.B. They made the product carefully by hand.C. They introduced the product clearly.D. They tested the product again and again.7. What does the last paragraph mainly talk about?A. Who will ask for money and how to get it.B. Who will give money and why they give.C. When and why the sites can get money.D. Why and how people create projects.8. Which project is the most successful according to the chart?A. Music.B. Film and Video.C. Art.D. Writing.CFor a long time，scientists believed that only humans were left-or right-handed.However，recent studies have shown that this isn't true.Just like people，animals favor one side or the other.In Ireland，scientists studied a group of 42 cats.They gave them three tasks.One was to get a delicious piece of fish out of a bottle.They found that the male cats preferred to use their left paw，and the female cats preferred to use their right paw.Being left-or right-handed isn't limited(有限的)to arms and legs.It can include eyes，ears，claws，and even tails.In Italy，scientists discovered that dogs wag their tails to the right when they see something that they like.When they see something that they don't like，their tails go to the left.There are lots of fun examples.Left-handed dolphins swim in a different direction around the pool.Elephants like to swing their trunks in one direction.Even snakes prefer to curl up only one way.Many people believe that polar bears are left-handed.They say，for example，that polar bearscover their black nose with their right paw，which helps them hide in the snow when they are hunting.Then they can sneak up(慢慢靠近)on a seal，and their left paw will be free to catch it.Scientists，however，disagree.Some have watched polar bears for thousands of hours.They never saw the bears cover their nose during a hunt.They also saw no evidence(根据)that they were left-handed.Without taking any notice of this，many websites continue to say that polar bears are left-handed.Scientists are still learning about animals and their behaviors.The next time you see an animal，whether it's your pet cat or an elephant，try figuring out yourself which it prefers—left or right.()9.The underlined word “favor” in Paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to “______”．A．give B．findC．see D．prefer()10.In Paragraph 2，we can get the information about ______.A．an Irish scientist who studies catsB．a study about cats and its findingsC．three tasks done by male and female catsD．an introduction on how cats get fish()11.Which one of the following statements is TRUE about polar bears?A．It's believed that polar bears are left-handed for they use their left paw to cover their nose. B．The finding that polar bears cover their nose while hunting is supported by scientists. C．Scientists disagree with the popular belief that polar bears are left-handed.D．The information from many websites that polar bears are left-handed is believable.()12.The purpose of this passage is mainly to ______.A．introduce recent studies of animalsB．explain why some animals are left-handedC．tell us which side animals preferD．learn about animals in different countries二．完形填空1. 阅读下面短文,从短文后各题所给的四个选项(A、B、C，D) 选出正确选项Once upon a time. there was a man called Joe.

In turn, the “moon people” expressed their surprise. “Why,” they asked, “are you traveling to outer space when you don’t even use your inner space?”H.G.Wells could only imagine travel to the moon. In 1969, human beings really did land on the moon. People today know that there are no underground cities on the moon. However, the question that the “moon people” asked is still an interesting one. A growing number of scientists are seriously thinking about it.Underground systems are already in place. Many cities have underground car parks. In some cities, such as Tokyo, Seoul and Montreal, there are large underground shopping areas. The “Channel”，a tunnel connecting England and France, is now complete.But what about underground cities？Japan’s Taisei Corporatio n is designing a net work of underground systems, called “Alice Cities”. The designers imagine using surface space for public parks and using underground space for flats, offices, shopping, and so on. A solar dome would cover the whole city.Supporters of underground development say that building down rather than building up is a good way to use the earth’s space. The space, they say, can be used for farms, parks, gardens, and wilderness. H.G.Wells “moon people” would agree. Would you?1. The explorers i n H. G. Well’s story were surprised to find that the “moon people”．A. knew so much about the earthB. understood their languageC. lived in so many underground citiesD. were ahead of them in space technology2. What does th e underlined word “it”（paragraph 2）refer to? ______.A. Discovering the moon’s inner spaceB. Using the earth’s inner spaceC. Meeting the “moon people” againD. Traveling to outer space3. What sort of underground system are already here with us? _______.A. Offices, shopping areas, power stationsB.Tunnels, car parks, shopping areasC. Gardens, car parks, power stationsD.Tunnels, gardens, offices4. The word “wilderness” in the last paragraph means ______ ．A. wildlifeB. poor districtsC. desertD. an area that is not allowed to build on5. What would be the best title for the text? _______A. Alice Cities—Cities of the FutureB. Space Travel with H.G.WellsC. Enjoy Living UndergroundD. Building Down, not Up参考答案; CBBDPassage 2From far out in space, Earth looks like a blue ball. Since water covers three-fourths of the Earth’s surface, blue is the color we see most. The continents look brown, like small islands floating in the huge, blue sea. White clouds cover around the Earth like a light blanket. The Earth is shaped like a sphere, or a ball. It is 25,000 miles around! It would take more than a year to walk around the whole planet. A spaceship can fly around the widest part of the sphere in only 90 minutes.Even though spaceships have traveled to the Moon, people cannot visit the Moon without special suits. The Moon has no air or water. Plants and animals can’t live there either. Astronauts first landed on the Moon in 1969. After that, there were six more trips to the Moon. They brought back Moon rocks, which scientists are still studying. There are holes, or craters, all over the Moon’s surface. Sc ientists believe that meteorites（陨石）smashed into the Moon millions of years ago and formed the craters.The Sun is the closest star to Earth. A star is a hot ball of burning gas. The Sun looks very big because it is so close. But the Sun is just a medium-sized star. Billions of far-away stars are much bigger than our Sun. The burning gases from the Sun are so hot that they warm the Earth from 93 million miles away! Even though the Sun is always shining, the night here on Earth is dark. That’s becaus e the Earth rotates, or turns around, every 24 hours. During the day, the Earth faces the Sun. Then we see light. During the night, the Earth turns away from the Sun. Then it faces the darkness of space.Each day we learn more about the Earth, the Moon and the Sun.1.When we look at the Earth from outer space, the color we see most is bluebecause ________ .A. most of the Earth is covered in landB. the Sun’s rays make the Earth look blueC. most of the Earth is covered in waterD. clouds wrap around the Earth2. What’s the meaning of the underlined word “smashed” in the second paragraph?A. crashedB. madeC. brokeD. got3.What causes daylight on Earth?A. The full Moon causes daylight.B. Daylight is caused by the Earth facing away from the Sun.C. The heat of the Sun’s rays causes daylight.D. Daylight is caused by the Earth facing toward the Sun.4.Which of the following sentences BEST describes the Sun?A. The Sun looks small because it is so far from Earth.B. The Sun is a ball of burning gases that gives the Earth heat and light.C. The Sun is a small star.D. The Sun is not as hot as it looks.5.What is the main idea of the text?A. Plants and animals can’t live on the Moon.B. Without the Sun we would have no heat or light.C. We know a lot about the Earth, Moon, and Sun, but there is still more to learn.D.From outer space, the Earth looks tiny, even though it is thousands of miles around.参考答案：CADBCPassage 3Space travel is definitely bad for astronauts’ bones, reducing their bone density(密度) after only a month of weightlessness, according to French research published on Friday.Laurence Vico and his fellow workers at St Etienne University called for more research into the effects of microgravity, after their study of 15 astronauts from the Russian MIR station showed bone loss continued throughout space flights.“Bone loss was especially striking in four astronauts, ” the scientists reported in the Lancet Medical Journal.They measured the bone mineral density (BMD) of bones in the forearm(前臂) and lower leg of the astronauts who had spent one to six months in space.The BMD loss was significant in the tibia(胫骨) of the lower leg, a weight-bearing bone, but barely changed in the radius(桡骨) of the forearm. “Our results indicate the need to investigate not only different bones, but also different areas of the same bone since not all sites of the skeleton (骨架) are similarly affected by space conditions, ” they added.Without gravity the body isn’t bearing any weight so there is no need for calcium (钙) which makes bones strong, and it becomes empty into the bloodstream.The research team suggested in future scientists should try to determine if the loss of bone density was only on weight-bearing bones on longer flights, also the possible recovery after returning to Earth.1. French scientists did their research on Russian astronauts, because _______.A. they only cared for the Russian astronautsB. they were not interested in their own astronautsC. the Russian government invited them to do their researchD. the Russian astronauts worked in space for a long time2. Scientists have found that _______.A. the BMD loss may cause serious illness to astronautsB. the BMD loss may cause some change in astronauts’ bodiesC. astronauts shouldn’t care about the BMD lossD. astronauts should take some calcium before space travel3. What cause the BMD loss to astronauts, according to this passage?A. The food they eat in space.B. The drinks they take in space.C. The temperature in space.D. The gravity in space.4. In the third paragraph, the word “striking” means ______.A. unusualB. simpleC. weakD. slow参考答案(1—4 DBDA)Passage 4Water goes around and around Earth in a never ending journey called the water cycle（循环）。

What makes us study and make progress each day is closely connected with our personal dream and goal.But why do you have dreams and goals, you still end up with nothing? What separates successful people from the dreamers is their persistent(锲而不舍的) action. When you learn your lessons in school, you must work hard and not give up. You will often find some of your lessons very hard. Try and keep trying, and you’ll be sure to successfully deal with any difficulty you meet with. If we have a hard lesson today, let us try our best to learn it well and then we shall be prepared for a harder one tomorrow.This is the famous formula(公式) for success:Dream>Believe>AchieveMost people have what they want (Dream) and think they can realize their dreams (Believe). And then they do nothing. They just imagine their dreams can come true. When they get tired of waiting and lose a lot, they get bored. They say angrily how terrible their life is.I personally believe that if you really want to achieve your dreams and goals in life, you have to add one thing to your success formula:Dream>Believe>Act>AchieveFor me, act is the most important thing for success and that’s to Take Persistent Action (Act). If you say,“I can’t do it” and give up, you can never do anything valuable. However,“I’ll try”creates wonders. Let’s remember that there will be obstacles in our life. We must face them bravely and solve them. Success is not something that falls down from the sky. Most successful people made their dreamscome true because of their persistent action.Please remember: Action is the bridge that connects our dreams and goals to reality.1.What should you do when you find your lessons very hard? ( )A.Ask people for help.B.Try and keep trying.C.Get ready to create wonders.D.Prepare for a harder one.2.Which does the writer add to the famous formula?

Hello Kitty, the cat with no mouth, has become the first cartoon kitty to go to space! Lauren Rojas，a 13-year-old girl from America came up with the idea for her science project at school.The inspiration（灵感）came from a television programme Lauren once watched. In the programme，a balloon was released(释放) into the sky. She thought she could do the same with her Hello Kitty doll.Lauren spent about a month building a small silver rocket and a weather balloon by herself. She put the Hello Kitty doll into the rocket and tied it with the balloon. After testing wind direction and temperature, she set the balloon free.After a few minutes，the balloon rose more than 90，000 feet above the ground. It was near outer space. There，the air was so thin that the balloon burst. The balloon was 53 times larger than its original size before bursting open. Hello Kitty's rocket fell back down to Earth with the help of a parachute (降落伞)，and landed safely.Hello Kitty went along for the ride in the rocket just for fun. "I have liked her ever since I was 6 years old，" Lauren told the New York Daily News. " I thought it would be really fun to add a toy inside the rocket. "Lauren loves carrying out science experiments. This experience sparked(激发) her interest in science even further.回答下面五个问题，每题答案不超过5个词。

There are new rules about what children may be given for these lunches. The reason for this is to give children healthier food. There are many foods that children aren't allowed to eat and they're only allowed to eat small amounts of fatty or sweet food. If you were at a school there, you might hear this conversation as you wait for your lunch.Josh: What's for lunch? I want chips!Dinner lady: No chips today. You've had chips twice this week already.Josh: Oh! OK, I'll have a chicken pie with gravy.Dinner lady: No, sorry. You've had a pastry dish(油酥食品) once this week already.Josh: Really?Oh, yes, on Monday. Well, what can I have? I'd like pasta and sauce.Dinner lady: No, sorry. Pasta counts as a pastry dish. So you can't have that, either.You've had two pastry dishes this week---a meat pie and a pizza. You can havevegetables or salad. The meatballs are nice today.Josh: All right. I'll have meatballs and steamed vegetables. I hope they're tasty.Dinner lady: They're good for you!Josh:I miss my chips. They're my favorite. I used to have them every day, before these new rules came in.Dinner lady: Well, that's why these rules were brought in. Too many children were eating junk food, especially chips. Children like chips, but they aren't a healthy choice.Josh: I'll have an apple juice with that, please.Dinner lady: OK, but its only 150 ml. You aren't allowed more than that as juice has sugar in it. The new rules encourage you to drink water. No soft drinks at all.Students cannot have more than two portions (份额)a week of food that has been deep-fired. They must have at least three different fruits and three different vegetables every week. Whole grains such as brown bread are to be given,instead of "white" grains.These rules are to teach healthy eating and to stop children putting on too much weight. This will make sure that more people are healthy in the future.1.The new rules about given lunch are brought in to_____________.A .give children healthier foodB .sell fruit and vegetablesC .help students save money D. help students study2.What did Josh have for lunch in the conversation?A .Chips.B .A chicken pie with gravyC .Meatballs and steamed vegetables.

Although they are still in use today,later sets of coins do not include fen coins anymore.Today we usually use1-jiao,5-jiao and l-yuan coins.The design of Chinese coins- tell something about our country's progress and culture.The front side of the first set of coins had our national emblem and our country’s name,while the back side had two ears of corn.It helped shape our national identity at that time.Some coins were issued in1980.On the coins,China added a gear beside the com.They showed that China was changing from an agricultural(农业的)country to an industrial country.China started to print flowers on its coins in1991.The flowers such as peonies and chrysanthemums all have positive meanings in Chinese culture.Coins are like the"name card"of a country.The next time you use coins, you might think about the stories behind them.1.After reading the passage,we can know____.A.how many people use coins every dayB.why people like to use coinsC why people don’t like using coins D.how many coins people use every day2.

How do you solve them? Tom, a middle school student, would take out his smart phone, open a special app (应用) and search the problem. Answers soon appear on the screen.Nowadays, many students do homework with the help of the special apps like Tom. "It's convenient. You don't have to go out or wait for a tutor (家庭教师) at home," Tom said. "You also learn by seeing how others work them out. It's very helpful and improves students' abilities." said John, another student. He said it was especially true for new types of homework.John's Chinese teacher often asks students to give speeches on great writers. When it comes to John's turn, he usually searches online, picks out certain stories and makes PPTS (演示文稿)."I've become skilled at finding information online and using Microsoft Office." John said.However, many people think this trend (趋势) also brings up problems. Some students just copy the answers online without thinking. They become lazy.Head teacher Mr. Wang in Tom and John's school thinks that knowing how to use the Internet is important. The key is to have good self-control. "No matter how difficult the problem is, think about it by yourself first. Remember not to depend on the Internet too much." the teacher said. "Be sure to understand the reasons behind the answers, or you won't make progress. If you don't have confidence in your self-control, ask your parents for help."1.If the students have problems in their homework,how do they solve them?A.take out their computerB.wait for a tutorC.search a special appD.ask for their teacher2.What is not the advantage of the app?A.convenientB.helpfulC.quickD.true3.What progress does John make?A.He can search online.B.He can picks out certain storiesC.He can make PPTs.D.He can become skilled at finding information online4.Why is Mr.Wang against using the app?A.The students have good self-control.B.The students understand the reasons behind the answers.C.The students copy the answers online without thinking.D.The students think about the problem by themselves first.5.What can we learn from the last sentence?A.Mr. Wang advised students not to depend on the apps too much when doing homework.B.Mr.Wang advised students to keep away from the app.C.Mr. Wang advised parents to help students with their homework.D.Mr. Wang advised parents to increase students' confidence in self-control.【答案】CDDCA（八）English learners shouldn't think that mistakes are bad. One language expert, Alex Poole, advises that language learners should see mistakes as signs of progress. “The goal is to be able to communicate. If you make a mistake, you shouldn't worry about it unless it causes communication stop, ”Poole said.When you are speaking with a native(本国的)English speaker, there are two. kinds of things you can do to look for mistakes. The first is to look for misunderstanding. For example, perhaps a person gives an unusual response(反应)to something you said. You can then ask them directly what the problem is. The second works if you' know w a native speaker well. You can ask them about the kinds of things that could cause communication problems.When it comes to writing, Poole suggests thinking about mistakes in a different way. He advises English learners to keep a list of common mistakes and think about the main ideas first when they write something. Then, he suggests thinking about how to put those ideas in order. Instead of thinking about grammar, he suggests you think about the big picture of what you arewriting about. After writing something, you can go back and use your list to look for mistakes. I know that I'm never going to be perfect, and so that shouldn't bother(困扰)me. But I should look for things which cause communication problems.1. If an English learner makes a mistake, he shouldA.correct it immediatelye it to make progressC.worry about it all the timeD. stop communicating and think about it2.When native speakers give an unusual response to what you said,you shouldA.ask them what the problem isB.repeat your wordsC.say sorry and continue your talkingD.write down your mistakes3. Which way does Poole think is good for writing?A. Checking your mistakes on grammar.B. Forgetting your mistakes while writing.C. Keeping a list of your common mistakes.D.Talking about your mistakes with your friend.4.The underlined word picture in paragraph 3 probably meansA.照片B.插图C.主题大意D.框架提纲5.What does the writer want to tell us from the passage?A. We should look for our mistakes all the time.B. We're not perfect learners because of mistakes.C. Don't be afraid to make mistakes while learning a language.D.Care about people's unusual response when we make mistakes.【答案】BACDC（九）On September 1,1659, exactly eight years after I had first left England, I left Brazil to goto Guinea.

There are so many summer camps and not all of them are the same. To choose which camp is best for you, first you must do a bit of research.Maybe you’ve never thought about it before, but every great summer camp has the same main goals---opportunity, challenge and growth.Opportunity means you are given a chance to do something special. It also makes you special because other kids don’t have the same opportunity. For example, if you are interested in writing, then you can choose to join a journalism(新闻工作) camp. You may have the opportunity of meeting famous journalists there.Challenge means you are given a task. You must finish the task and succeed in overcoming the challenge. Then you will have a sense of accomplishment(成就). For example, you could take a lifeguard(救生员) course at some summer camps. If you pass the exam, then you will receive a certificate(证书) to became a real lifeguard.This also leads to the third and most important goal of every great summer camp---personal growth. It doesn’t mean growing taller and stronger or more beautiful. It means seeing yourself improve, learning something new and doing something you didn’t know or believe you could do before. It also means becoming more confident in yourself.So in the future when choosing your next summer camp, remember to ask yourself: is it a special opportunity? Is it challenge? Will I grow?But what about friendship, fun and joy? These will all happen naturally when you have the right goals at summer camps!1. Which is the writer’s opinion?A.

AThe Smallest Life Around UsTiny plants and animals live all around us．We cannot see them because they are so small，but they are everywhere. They live in the soil，in the air，and in rivers and oceans．They grow on mountains and in caves．Some live in the ice at the north and south poles; some live where it is very hot．They are found throughout cities and in the country. They grow on other plants and animals．Some are even living on you，on your skin，hair，and inside your body，in your mouth，nose，and all through your body．These tiny plants and animals are called microbes．The word microbe is made from two other words：micro，meaning small，and bios，meaning life．So，microbe means small life．Microbes have been on earth for a very long time．They may have been the first forms of life to be alive．Today there are more microbes in the world than all other living things．People did not know microbes had existed（存在）long．They were too small for them to see．But people did see many changes in their world﹣important changes．And they did not know what caused them．They saw food that they kept too long change color and begin to smell bad．They saw cuts and wounds grow red and painful and become worse. They saw old plants and leaves and trees crumble apart on the forest floor and disappear into the soil．Such changes were a natural part of the world，but people did not understand them．They did not know these changes were evidence(证据) of tiny plants and animals growing all around them.( )1．Why couldn't people see microbes？A．Because they are too small．B．Because they live inside our body．C．Because they live far from humans．D．Because they may have been the first forms of life to be alive．( )2．The underlined phrase" crumble apart" in the last paragraph means""．A．grow taller B．change into soilC．break into tiny pieces D．become colorful and energetic( )3．Choose the answer that completes the web below．A．Microbes are very small B．Microbes are all around usC．People can't see microbes D．Food begins to smell badBI used to think that life in Jim Thorpe, Pennsylvania, was filled with never-changing styles. I hated that everyone seemed to know everything about everyone else. Everyone seemed to enjoy talking about other people and their lives. I also didn’t like the fact that people seemed very close-minded. I felt trapped. I feltlike I was missing . It seemed to me that city life would be the opposite.Then I took my first trip to New York City. I couldn’t wait to experience the city. However, when I arrived in the Big Apple, it wasn’t at all what I had imagined. I knew it was home to thousands of people, but I hadn’t had the least expectation to see so many people on the street at one time. All the streets were filled with people. I also felt a little surprised to see that everyone was in a hurry and everything moved at such a fast pace(步伐). When I took the subway for the first time, I said hello to the middle-aged woman next to me. She looked at me with dislike and didn’t say a word.After just one day, I realized how important my small town is to me. Now I miss the familiar faces I see every day. I like the feeling of safety and belonging my town offers. Jim Thorpe gives me a sense of community and togetherness that the city doesn’t provide. I realize just how much a simple hello does for a stranger — it really can make your day a little better.My big trip showed me that my small town really has its own values in me that I didn’t even know I had.I never would have known what a big place my town holds in my heart if I had not taken that trip to New York City.( )4. What surprised the author most in New York City?A. The gestures of greeting.B. The modern transportation.C. The modern life.D. The crowded streets.( )5. What made the author change his / her attitudes to his /her hometown?A. Travelling to New York City.B. The familiar faces in Jim Thorpe.C. Greeting the middle-aged woman .D. Everybody likes talking about others.( )6. What would be the best title for the passage?A. Love of my small townB. A sense of communityC. A pleasant trip to New York CityD. Differences between big cities and small townsCWhen US student Olivia Priedeman, 17, woke up one morning, she thought she had had a dream about making plans with a friend.But it wasn't a dream. Her phone showed that during the night, Priedeman had read a text message from her friend. She did it while she was fast asleep.Reading and sending text messages while asleep called─"sleep texting"─ is an unusual sleep behavio ur,similar to sleep walking. It's also a growing problem among doctors: young people can’ t live without their cell phones.One in three teenagers sends more than 100 text messages a day, according to the Pew Internet & American Life Project. And at least four out of five teenagers said they sleep with their phone on or near their bed.Elizabeth Dowdell, a professor at Villanova University in Pennsylvania, has studied sleep texting. She said that having a phone nearby all night is a big part of the problem.Andrew Stiehm, a sleep medicine researcher with Allina Health in Minnesota, agrees. It's possible for the part of the brain that controls skills to wake up, while the part of the brain that controls memory and judgment(判断) may be still asleep. That's why some people can perform basic movements-such as walking, talking, texting or even driving while they're sleeping. Some of Dowdell's students said that they're disturbed by their nighttime texting behaviour. But because sleep texting is unconscious, it's a difficult habit to break. Dowdell said she knows of some students who wear socks on their hands to keep themselves from texting.Marjorie Hogan, a doctor at Hennepin County Medical Centre in Minneapolis, Minnesota, suggests keeping all electronic products outside the bedroom.( )7.
