This year, however, there was a change—the competition required dancing in pairs.Jenny’s classmates held high hopes for her to win again this year. However, Jenny was uncertain about the result. She wanted to compete, but she had never danced with a partner before. As she was turned down by the boys in her class due to their lack (缺乏) of dance skills, Jenny began to feel hesitant (犹豫) about entering the competition.She finally turned to her close friend Carl, whom she had known since first grade. Lacking confidence in his dancing abilities, Carl was hesitant at first. But Jenny insisted. He finally agreed to join her. Jenny was happy. However, she was still worried because she knew her class was counting on her to win. But the challenge was greater this time, as Carl was not a skilled dancer.

Audiobooks have become quite popular these days. Why are more and more people choosing audiobooks over traditional books? Is listening to an audiobook just as good as reading a paper book?You need to find time available and a quiet place to sit down and read. However, you can listen to audiobooks anytime and anywhere you like, and it gives your eyes a break, too.But the big question is, do we get as much knowledge from audiobooks as we do from paper books? Researchers did an experiment to find the answer. V olunteers in Group One were asked to listen to an audiobook while volunteers in Group Two read a book of the same content (内容). It turned out that they recalled as much information, whether they listened to or read it.Another study from The Journal of Neuroscience further supported the result above. In the study, researchers scanned (扫描) people’s brains when they listened to and read books. The result showed that listening to audiobooks activated (激活) almost the same parts of the brain as reading did.However, some people still believe that they learn better from reading paper books. One reason might be that when we listen to audiobooks, we are often doing some other tasks at the same time. “If you’re trying to learn while doing two things, you’ re not going to learn as well,”Daniel Willingham, a researcher at the University of Virginia, told The New York Times. 23.Why are more and more people choosing audiobooks over paper books?A.They are easier to take.B.They offer choices in content.C.They improve people’s eyesight.D.They free people in time and place.24.What did researchers find in the study?A.People recalled more information from reading paper books.B.Listening activated different parts of the brain from reading.C.People can read and listen to the same content at the same time.D.Listening makes no difference in recalling information from reading.25.What can we infer from the text?A.People need to stay focused while reading.B.People often do other tasks while listening.C.People actually learn better from audiobooks.D.People have to activate the brain to learn better.26.How is the text organized? (①=Paragraph 1,①=Paragraph 2,…)A.B.C.D.Sounds from human activities spread across the ocean, causing much trouble to ocean animals. However, according to a new study, climate change might influence how sound travels through the water.Human-caused climate change influences the ocean in many ways, such as changing its temperature, salt level, and acidity (酸度). For example, when the water becomes more acidic, it can’t take in certain sounds. So those sounds travel further, adding to the noise in some areas. However, this effect (影响) is not as big as other changes. Changes like temperature and salt level can affect how the ocean’s different layers (层) mix. That, in turn, affects how sound travels.Researchers used computers to model how those changes influence noise levels across the ocean. They compared the models of the world now to those of the world in about 70 years if climate change continues. In the North Atlantic, they saw an increase in sound levels in the upper 125 meters of the Ocean.This was caused mostly by ice melting (融化) from Greenland, forming a cold layer of water near the Ocean’s surface. When sound travels through water, it turns toward the coldest layer. This made sound waves get stuck in the cold top layer and spread further out across the water instead of traveling deeper. As a result, the sound became louder at this depth in the North Atlantic.The rising noise levels in the Atlantic Ocean are worrying as they could disturb animals’ communication, hunting and travelling. Sharks already avoid loud ships, but with noise levels increasing everywhere, what will happen?27.What has a bigger effect on ocean noise?A.Sea level.B.Wind speed.C.Water temperature.D.Ocean acidity. 28.How did researchers carry out the study?A.By modeling changes in ocean noise levels.B.By finding areas with increasing ocean noise.C.By doing field research in the North Atlantic.D.By comparing today’s ice size to that of the future.29.What do we know about the sound traveling through water?A.It can be easily blocked by ice.B.It can get stuck by the seaside.C.It goes towards the colder areas.D.It travels faster in the deep ocean. 30.What is the main idea of the text?A.Ice melting brings changes to water level.B.Some ocean animals keep away from ships.C.The more the ocean is acidic, the more sounds it takes in.D.Climate change may influence the way sounds travel in the ocean.三、单词拼写31.Tina c the last bus and got home safe and sound.32.A new railway is being built b Rizhao and Qingdao.33.The police often have to make a quick d on how to act.34.When given something you don’t want to eat, just r politely.35.We all took p in the astronauts in Shenzhou 17, who landed safe on April 30. 36.Check for spelling (错误) before turning in your papers.37.Kelly is a smart secretary, who keeps the office running (顺畅).38.My grandma loved all her grandchildren, but I was her (最爱).39.Parents play an important role in (准备) their children for school.40.Young people would like to have their (单独) rooms to enjoy their free time.四、短文填空阅读下面短文,在空白处填入1个单词或括号内所给单词的正确形式(每空不多于3个单词)。

Laura Mills, a teenager from Washington, agrees. “Problems and worries are normal in life,” says Laura. “But I think talking to someone helps a lot. If we don’t talk to someone, we’ll certainly feel worse.”Laura once lost her purse, and worried for days. She was afraid to tell her parents shout it. She even walked three miles to school each day because she didn’t have any money. She just kept thinking. “If I tell my parents, they’ll be angry!” But in the end, she talked to her parents and they were really understanding. Her dad said he sometimes made careless mistakes himself.

中考英语阅读理解真题汇编(含答案)含解析一、阅读理解1.阅读理解In the summer between my first year and second year in college, I was invited to be an instructor(辅导员)at a high school camp. On the first day, when we were dancing and playing games, I noticed a boy under the tree who was small and thin. His shyness made him appear weak. I walked towards him, introduced myself and invited him to join in the activities and meet some new people. He quietly replied, "No, I really don't want to do this." I could understand that he was in a new world but I knew it wouldn't be right to force him either. Actually, the boy didn't need a close talk but a friend.At lunch the next day, I was leading camp songs when I saw the boy under the tree sitting alone.I tried again with the same invitation, but he refused once again. That evening I was told the boy's name was Tommy. Then I asked the campers to pay special attention to the boy and spend time with him when they could.The days went by and the time came when we had to leave. We held a big, warm party to celebrate the closing of the camp. All the campers shared their wonderful moments. To my surprise, I found the boy from under the tree dancing joyfully with two girls. I couldn't believe it was the same person.In October of my second year, I received a phone call from Tommy's mother. She told me that Tommy was hit by a car and died. I offered my deep sadness. The mother said, "Tommy mentioned you so many times. I want you to know that he went back to school and made new friends with confidence. You made a difference to Tommy during his last months."At that moment, I realized how easy it was to give a bit of yourself every day. You may never know how much each gesture may mean to someone else. I hope that everyone can pay attention to his own "boy under the tree".(1)Before the writer came to the high school summer camp, he was a(n) .A. instructorB. camperC. studentD. reporter(2)How many times did the writer invite the boy to join in the activities?A. Once.B. Twice.C. Three times.D.

B(2019江苏连云港)Then Alice saw a small glass table. There was a little golden key on it. She picked it up and put it in all the locks on the doors but it didn’t open any of them. She moved a curtain on one of the walls and discovered another door, a very small one. She put the key in the lock. It was exactly the right size! She opened the door and looked through it. At the end of a low passage she saw a beautiful garden. It was full of brightly coloured flowers and fountains.‘ Oh, how beautiful!’ she said. ‘ I’d love to go there but I’m too big to get through the door.’She walked back to the table. There was a bottle on it now.‘ I’m sure that bottle wasn’t there before,’ she said, a little confused.She put down the key and picked up the bottle. She read the words “DRINK ME” on it. Alice wasn’t a stupid girl. She didn’t drink it immediately. First she looked at the bottle carefully. There wasn’t a label on it that said “POISON”.So she put the bottle to her lips and drank.‘ Mmm,it’s nice,’ she said, it t asted like cherry tart, pineapple, roast turkey and toast—all the things that she liked to cat—so she drank some more.

I can go through the door into the garden,’ she said. But, poor Alice! When she got to the door, she didn’t have the key! It was on the table. She couldn’t reach it because she was too small now. She sat down and cried.Af ter a while she said, ‘Alice!’ ‘Stop crying! Crying doesn’t help! Dry your tears immediately!’When she looked at the table again,she saw a small glass box under it. She picked it up and opened it. There was a small cake inside. It had the words “EAT ME” on it. She put a small piece of it in her mouth.‘If I grow bigger I can reach the key,’ she thought. ‘And if I grow smaller I can go under the door.’But nothing happened so she finished it.34.

This made Fleming decide to find a way to help the body fight infections.In September 1928, Fleming left some glass dishes on a bench in his laboratory for two weeks. When he came back, he noticed something puzzling. Bacteria (细菌) were growing on all the glass dishes except one. On this dish mould (霉菌) had started to grow—the kind found on old bread. The mould seemed to be giving off something that stopped the bacteria from growing. Fleming called it “mould juice”. He tried it on other bacteria, and it killed them, too. Fleming became wild with joy and named it penicillin.Unfortunately, Fleming’s boss thought he was wasting his time and it was impossible to kill bacteria at that time. Fleming did a few more experiments with penicillin, and he also wrote about it so other scientists could learn about it. However, because no one seemed interested in his discovery, he forgot about penicillin and started to work on other things.In 1939, Ernest Chain, a scientist, and his boss, Howard Florey, were looking for medicines that could kill bacteria. They discovered Fleming’s notes and decided to test penicillin. In 1940, they gave penicillin to some sick mice, who survived later. But those who didn’t get it died. Floreydeclared: “It looks like a miracle!” By 1943, the final tests on humans were finished successfully and the world had its first antibiotic (抗生素) medicine.4.Why did bacteria stop growing on one of the dishes?A.The mould juice killed them.B.Some old bread was on the dish.C.There was something special in the lab.D.The dish was on the bench for two weeks. 5.Fleming had to give up his study on penicillin because ________.A.something else was worth doing B.doing experiments cost much moneyC.no scientists showed an interest in it D.his boss didn’t believe his new discovery 6.What is Paragraph 4 mainly about?A.The discovery of penicillin.B.The great work of Chain and Florey.C.The tests on sick mice and humans.D.The value of Fleming’s notes about penicillin. 7.Which might be the best title of the text?A.The life of Fleming B.The story of Ernest ChainC.The science of fighting infections D.The birth of the world’s first antibioticmedicineAt the beginning of the school year, each student would be given a special job for which they would be responsible (负责任的) for the whole term. Rita, a quiet and hardworking girl, hoped for an exciting task, like taking care of the class plants. Instead, she received a small box with sand and a small ant.Even though the teacher explained that this task was very special, Rita could not help feeling disappointed. However, she decided to do her best with her new job. She began to study and care for the ant, learning about its habitat (栖息地) and needs. She made the box a comfortable home for the ant, and it grew much bigger than anyone expected.Rita’s efforts caught the attention of her science teacher, Mr. Thompson. He turned her work into a class project, and Rita became the class expert (专家) on ants. Her hard work helpedthe whole class learn about ant behavior and habitats. They even built a small ant farm in the classroom to observe the ant closely.Gradually, Rita’s classmates became more and more interested in the ant project. They started asking her questions and observing the ant’s behavior themselves. Rita organized a presentation where she shared her findings with the whole school during the science fair.At the end of the year, Rita’s class was recognized as the best of the year. Rita was as well praised for her hard work and how she turned a small task into something big. Rita learned that every task, no matter how small, could make a big difference. She also learned that sometimes the most unexpected things can lead to great success.8.What was Rita’s job this term?A.To look after plants.B.To raise an ant.C.To become an expert.D.To build an ant farm.9.How did Rita feel about receiving the task at first?A.Cool.B.Bored.C.Angry.D.Unhappy. 10.What was the final result of Rita’s special job?A.Her class became No. 1 of the year.B.She gave a report to the whole school.C.The class learned much knowledge about ants.D.She caught the attention of the science teacher.11.What can we learn from Rita’s story?A.Actions speak louder than words.B.The harder you work, the luckier you’ll be.C.A small task could make a big difference.D.Great success depends on the most unexpected things.A friend advises me to say no more often, so I can fix my eyes on what matters most. Personally, I’ve used his advice to great advantage. 12 I’ve noticed a few areas where people hesitate (犹豫) to say yes. Here’s what I suggest you say YES to:Say yes to challenge (挑战).13 Why add any more challenge to your life than you already have? Although there are a few challenges you might have good reasons to say no to, say yes to the challenges that stretch and grow you. My dad has wisely pointed out that I may do best when in a challenging situation. Challenge can bring out the best in you.14It’s true that too much fun can be frivolous (无聊的). However, in some cases, it is also easy to get so focused on our work that we forget to enjoy it and have fun. Sometimes you can have fun, but you can make the situation fun by the attitude and energy you bring to it.Say yes to opportunity (机会).Put yourself in the place full of opportunities. Sometimes opportunity finds you, but more often you have to search for it. 15 Communicate with people who are making things happen. And when you do find opportunity, don’t pass it by because of laziness.根据短文内容,从下列选项中选出能填入文中空白处的最佳选项,选项中有一项为多余选项。

He was so impolite to his neighbors that no one even knew his first name was Adam. He never said hello to anyone, and he left his rubbish out in the hallway. He always complained (抱怨) about all his neighbors and the noise they made. He even got upset when the couple who lived next door to him, Catherine and David, had a baby. Instead of saying congratulations, he loudly complained about how the baby would surely cry all night.One day when he was leaving his apartment, Mr. Black saw that his rubbish was gone. In its place, he found a note from David. "Good morning, Mr. Black. I saw your rubbish here, and since I was on my way out, I picked it up for you.I wanted to save you a trip. Have a nice day, David." However, Mr. Black decided to ignore this act of kindness. He began thinking about the terrible traffic he would surely have to deal with on his way to work.But as time went on, Mr. Black started to feel a little silly. No matter how impolite he was, the couple always smiled at him and politely said hello. It became harder and harder for him not to simply say hello back.After a few weeks, Mr. Black was always happy to see the couple in the hall. They even started calling him Adam. Later on, they invited Mr. Black into their apartment for a cup of coffee. Mr. Black was very glad that they treated him nicely. He was so upset about it that he had been impolite to everyone he knew. He realized that he should try to do the same with the people he met.5.Which word can best describe Mr. Black according to Paragraph 1?A.Serious.B.Unfriendly.C.Strict.6.Who took out the rubbish for Mr. Black?A.Adam.B.Catherine.C.David.7.What does the underlined word "ignore" in Paragraph 2 mean?A.Pay no attention to.B.Say thanks to.C.Stick to.8.What did Mr. Black realize finally?A.He should say sorry to his neighbors in the building.B.He should treat others as he would like to be treated.C.He should thank all the people who ever helped him.阅读理解It can be really embarrassed if someone sees you talking to yourself. But don't feel bad about it! Talking toyourself actually has a lot of advantages.You probably know that thinking is good for the brain. It helps us do things like making plans and managing our feelings. Talking to yourself loud is like showing this quiet inner (内在的) speech. It can help us do better in different areas like school, sports and work.Talking to yourself, especially in the third person, can help us manage bad feelings. "Talking to yourself in the third person is like giving yourself advice," said Jason Moser, a professor (教授) from Michigan State University, US. Moser uses himself in an example. He does not like flying, but he has to fly often for his work. So when he is feeling nervous or afraid during a flight (航班), he talks to himself. "Well, you know, Jason knows air travel is very safe. And Jason has been on thousands of flights." This can help us to see things from a different aspect (角度), especially when we're feeling sad or angry.When encouragement comes from oneself, it adds to self-confidence. A study invited 72 tennis players to take part in some matches. Researchers (调查者) put the players into two groups: one group that said nothing while playing, and the other that talked to themselves while playing. They found that the self-talkers showed more confidence and played better than those in the silent group.Self-talk also helps to improve memory. Researchers tested four different ways to memorize things: reading silently, reading aloud, listening to someone else read and listening to a recording of oneself reading. Those who read out loud recalled the information the best, researchers said in their study. It's because the information will probably become a long-term memory if it is said out loud.9.What does the underlined word "It" refer to (指代) in Paragraph 2?A.Talking to yourself.B.The brain.C.Thinking.10.How does the writer show his opinion in Paragraph 3?A.By listing numbers.B.By giving an example.C.By comparing himself with others.11.What's the main idea of Paragraph 4?A.Talking to yourself helps to find out the best players.B.Talking to yourself helps to improve players' talking skills.C.Talking to yourself helps to make you more confident.12.Which of the following best shows the structure (结构) of the passage? (P =Paragraph)A.B.C.阅读理解On April 18 each year, people all over the world celebrate the International Day for Monuments and Sites (国际古迹遗址日). In China, young people are realizing the importance of their history and culture. Many are doing their best to protect Chinese cultural sites and try to promote (推广) them.Finding new artifacts (文物)Xu Danyang, a 29-year-old archaeologist (考古学家), found an amazing bronze statue (青铜像) at the Sanxingdui site in Sichuan. In 2021, he dug out this statue. In the beginning, his team thought it was a bird. But as they continued the digging, they had a surprise. It turned out (结果是) to be a statue of a man, about 16cm high. It shows a man kneeling with his head turned, and it surprises everyone who sees it.Making maps for protectionWu Yunjie who was born in the 1990s found a new way — by making a special map to show the best cultural sites in China. Wu is now famous on the Internet. He marked almost 10,000 places like old temples, towers, bridges and houses. Each site with colorful marks showed how special and important they are. As a kid, Wu loved going to a temple in his hometown in Ezhou, Hubei. However, it was pulled down years ago. He was sad and decided to record all the cultural sites in China.He started to travel across the country. He visits places in person and adds them to his map, making sure we all remember them. Now, Wu asks for help from people online to make his map better and better. And he hopes to share this amazing map with everyone who respects (尊重)history and culture soon.Making explanations (解释) funZhang Bin is a 31-year-old tour guide at Emperor Qinshihuang's Mausoleum Site Museum in Xi'an, Shaanxi. He works to answer visitors' questions about the famous Terracotta Warriors and shares all of his knowledge about them. Zhang often uses the traditional Chinese performance art of xiangsheng to explain them. He is doing something meaningful for the site.13.How many ways are mentioned to protect and promote Chinese cultural sites in this passage?A.Three.B.Four.C.Five.14.Why were Xu Danyang and his team surprised at the bronze statue?A.Because the statue was very big and scary with his head turned.B.Because the statue changed from a bird into a kneeling child.C.Because the statue which they thought was a bird turned out to be a man.15.What does Wu Yunjie do to make his map of Chinese cultural sites?① He marks sites on his map. ② He visits places in person.③ He asks for help online. ④ He answers visitors' questions.A.①②④B.①②③C.②③④16.What's the best title (标题) for the passage?A.Spreading Traditional Chinese ArtB.Introducing Chinese Cultural SitesC.Respecting History with Action阅读下面短文,根据短文内容,从下列选项中选出能填入文中空白处的最佳选项。

Her father came into the kitchen and said, “Mom wants you to clean your room. It looks as if a hurricane passed through it.”Joe, Vicky’s little brother, asked, “A hurricane? Is that a bad thing?”“Sure it is,” said his father.“I’ll do it after school, Dad,” said Vicky. “My first class is geography and Mr. Miller hates people to be late.” And off she ran through the front door.Twenty minutes later, Vicky ran into her classroom.“Today,” said Mr. Miller, “we’re going to learn about hurricanes. Have any of you seen a hurricane?” Vicky thought about her bedroom, but she said nothing.“I haven’t seen one. Not a real one but I watched a program on TV and I know they destroy (破坏) things and leave a mess,” said James who sat next to Vicky.“Yes,” said Mr. Miller. “But today I’m going to surprise you. Sometimes hurricanes do good.”“Hurricanes can be good things?” Vicky asked.“Oh, yes,” said Mr. Miller. “Hurricanes bring a lot of water to rivers and lakes that are becoming dry. Animals and fish come back to live in them. Hurricanes also pick up heat from thevery hot areas of the world and drop it in less warm places.”“So, hurricanes can be good things,” Vicky said to herself. “I’m going to show Mom the good part.”When Vicky got home in the afternoon, she began to clean up her bedroom. She put all of her things in their proper places.“Mom,” she called. “Can you come here for a minute?”Vicky’s mother put her head around the door.“Vicky!” she said. “That looks fantastic!

Since then, the China-Rwanda Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) Treatment Center has increased in popularity.According to An, the center now receives an average of more than 30 people daily, with most of them suffering from lower back pain or knee and ankle joint (踝关节) pain. Rwanda isknown as the land of a thousand hills. Locals often have to walk on mountain roads year-round, which can lead to joint stress.“TCM has great advantages in treating these diseases, and the effects are very good.” An said. “The center now provides most kinds of TCM treatments, allowing local people to experience Eastern medicine.”Naomin, a 60-year-old patient, is amazed by TCM. She was unable to walk due to serious pain in both knees and ankles. But after a month of treatment at the center, she is now able to walk around with a walking stick. “The treatment has been a huge help,” she said.Another patient, Mukagatare, said that his back pain disappeared after three TCM treatments. According to him, doctors at the local hospitals had been unable to make a clear diagnosis (诊断) after many examinations, let alone reduce the pain.Besides treating patients, the center also educates locals about TCM and Chinese culture.Up to now, TCM has spread to nearly 200 countries and areas, with its worldwide influence continuously growing. “From treating a common cold to chronic (慢性的) and difficult diseases.

After flying for about 37 minutes, it successfully placed the Chang’e 6 robotic lunar probe (月球探测器) into an Earth-moon transfer trajectory (转移轨道). Several days later the probe was programmed to land on the moon’s far side and started its tasks, which would last about 53 days.This is the world’s first try to bring samples (样本) from the moon’s far side. For China, it’s the second sample-return moon journey. Chang’e 5 successfully brought samples from the moon in the winter of 2020. Up to now, 10 moon sample-return tasks have been carried out by the United States, the former Soviet Union (前苏联) and China, but all these samples were collected from the moon’s near side.The moon’s far side has always been a subject of scientific wonder because of its many mysteries. It’s facing away from Earth and it can never be seen from Earth. It was once called the “dark side of the moon” even though it receives just as much sunlight as the near side.Chinese researchers have found that the soil on the far side is much thicker than that on the near side, but they haven’t found out the reason. Samples brought back by Chang’e 5 have helped scientists find that there were volcanic (火山的) activities on the near side around 2 billion years ago. Some scientists thought maybe volcanoes became inactive on the far side about 4 billion years ago. Is it true? Samples from the far side will allow them to know the answer.“Comparing the make-up of the far side samples from Chang’e 6 with those collected from the near side will be of great scientific value to the international community,” said Martin Sweeting, a famous professor of space engineering.8.When did Chang’e 6 begin to work on the moon?A.On May 3, 2024.B.After flying for about 37 minutes.C.In the winter of 2020.D.After landing on the moon’s far side. 9.How many times has China got samples from the moon’s near side?A.Once.B.Twice.C.Five times.D.Ten times. 10.According to the passage, the moon’s far side ________.A.receives less sunlight than the near sideB.has thicker soil compared with the near sideC.can be seen from Earth with powerful camerasD.has more recent volcanic activities than the near side11.What can we learn from Martin Sweeting’s words?A.Chang’e 6 will stay longer on the moon for more tasks.B.Chang’e 6 is carrying out a valuable task for the world.C.Chang’e 6 will bring samples from both sides of the moon.D.Chang’e 6 can compare samples before bringing them back.Wangari Maathai, a Nobel Peace Prize winner, was born on April 1, 1940, in Kenya (肯尼亚). Growing up in the countryside, Wangari was deeply connected to the land from an early age. This early experience with the environment later inspired her life’s work, which has left an unforgettable mark on the world.With the help of a program, Wangari received her university education in the United States. After graduation, she returned to Kenya. In 1971, she got a doctor’s degree from the University of Nairobi, becoming the first woman doctor in East and Central Africa. But her greater achievement was outside the university. In 1977, Wangari set up the Green Belt Movement, an organization focused on tree planting, environmental protection, and women’s rights. She called on Kenyan women to plant trees in their hometown. This simple act not only helped to protect the environment but also made women powerful economically (经济地) and socially.Wangari focused not only on environmental problems. She made great efforts to fight for democracy (民主), human rights, and social fairness. Her activism (激进主义) often put her in disagreement with the Kenyan government. As a result, she was put in prison (监狱) several times, but she kept fighting bravely. It was because of her tireless work that she was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 2004. She became the first African woman to receive the award.Wangari passed away on September 25, 2011, but her spirit continues to inspire a worldwide movement towards environmental protection and social fairness. Her book, Unbowed, records her life journey and the challenges she faced, offering an inspiration to countless people worldwide. Her story lives on through the millions of trees planted by the Green Belt Movement and the countless lives she touched through her hard work. It serves as a reminder that even the smallest actions, like planting a tree, can have a great influence on the world.12.For what purpose does the writer mention Wangari’s early life in Paragraph 1?A.To describe how she grew up in the countryside.B.To tell us why she studied hard for a doctor’s degree.C.To explain why she cared for environmental problems.D.To show how she became a Nobel Peace Prize winner.13.What does the underlined part “This simple act” mean in Paragraph 2?A.Setting up an organization.B.Planting trees in Kenya.C.Focusing on women’s rights.D.Fighting for democracy.14.Why was Wangari put in prison several times?A.Because there was something harmful in her book Unbowed.B.Because she founded the Green Belt Movement organization.C.Because the Kenyan government was angry with her activism.D.Because she received her university education in the United States.15.What can we learn from Wangari’s story?A.Small actions can make great differences.B.Brave people should win the Nobel Prize.C.Good education can help one be successful.D.We shouldn’t look down upon African women.阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中,选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

for you to have in your life?

Americans had already invented barbecues.But the first barbecues, in fact ,were the invention of the Taino Indians of Haiti, who dried their meat on raised frames(架子)of sticks over fires.Spanish explorers spelled the Taino word as barbacoa, and as time passed, English settlers along the Atlantic coat had their own barbecues.One summer day in 1773, Benjamin Lynde, a citizen of Massachusetts, wrote in his diary, “Fair and hot ; Browne;hack overset.”That is , on a bright and hot day he went to the Brownes to attedn a barbecue, and his carriage(马车)fell over.It shows that the barbecue had its social occasion by that rge animals would be roasted whole on frames over hot fires, and neighbours would be invited to dinner.In later centuries, as settlers moved to the west, the barbecue went along with it, reaching an especially large size in Texas, where a pit (坑)for fuels(燃料) such as tree branches might be over ten feet deep.Today , the barbecue grills(烧烤架)which are fueled by charcoal(木炭) or electricity are likely to be small and easy to move , and can cook only parts of an animal at a time, but people still have barbecues out of doors and always invite their neighbours or friends over.34.Who invented the barbecues first in history?A.American people.B.Taino Indians.C.Spanish explorers.D.English settlers.35.The second paragraph mainly tells us that the
