He handed me the rod（鱼杆）and taught me how to throw my line into the water.The sun warmed us. We sat and talked. “I remember when I coul d sit here and watch the fish swimming in the water,” he said. “Sometimes, they’d jump out and land beside me. I didn’t even need a fishing rod then.”“We have to be patient,” he continued. “The fish may come or may not. It doesn’t matter. We are out in the sun. It’s a beautiful day. If it rained, we couldn’t be here. We’re lucky to have the warmth of the sun.”He leaned（倚靠）back against a tree. “Yes, it’s a great day,” he said.I watched our bobbers（浮子）. No fish pull ed them under the water that day. It didn’t matter. I was with Grandpa. I felt grown up. Just being with him was special.He was well liked by everyone. He had worked hard all his life for what little he had, but he could still find time to laugh. I wanted to be like him when I grew up.He was an amazing man.

Without snakes, perhaps we would find mice everywhere, Most of us, however, woul d rather see a mouse than a snake, The poison argument( 毒性的争论)is a strong one, Some snakes are poisonous, and this causes people’s death , However, the poisonous snakes are only a small number. We can’t say all the snakes are bad just because of a few dangerous ones. And what d o we do with the people who really like snakes? They like snakes even more strongly than we dislike them. These people learn about them, find them out, and watch them carefully, Why? The only reason I can think of is that these people are open-minded, They are abl e to put asid e differences and welcome the snake as a friend.Whatever the reason for our like or dislike, snakes d o something good in the circle of life.They would prefer to be left alone, and that is what we should d o, If you’re lucky, you might not run across more than a few of them in a lifetime, That would be fine with most of us.15．How d oes the writer d escribe the appearance of snakes?A．Something even without legs.B．Something not popular among people.C．A person who is neutral.D．A person who cares about nothing.16．Which of the foll owing shows that most peopl e dislike snakes?A．They wel come snakes as their best friends.B．They would rather see a mouse than a snake.C．They wonder why snakes can cause great fear.D．They learn about snakes and watch them carefully.17．Although some snakes are poisonous, _______.A．they cause many people’s deathB．they control the population of miceC．they are not dangerous to peopl eD．they are only a small number18．The last paragraph seems to tell us that the writer _______.A．dislikes snakesB．has the best luckC．l oves snakesD．prefers to be l eft al oneThe Westwood Mid dl e School has d ecid ed to hol d a blood drive (献血活动), and you can help.Help with The Blood DriveThe School is holding a bl ood drive for teachers, parents, and town people.

This is exactly what happened with Du Haotian, a student from Shaanxi province. The potato chips Du is making are called guoba, usually made of millet rice（小米）, but here Du chose col ored potatoes as the ingredients（原料）.Zhenba, in the south of Shaanxi, has been trying to sell high-quality（质量）potatoes. But the sales are at a l ow l evel. Du, a stud ent of Northwest Agriculture and Forestry University, together with his team, introduced col orful potatoes and mad e them into crispy, fried potato snacks. After trying again and again, it gradually turned into a popular snack at Du’sunive rsity. At the end of last year, Du’s team set up their own factory in the village to plant and produce the snacks locally. At the beginning of this year, the production line was put into use.However, whil e helping the local community, Du was under pressure to graduate. Although he was supposed to graduate in June 2020, Du offered to put off graduation for one year. Du said the production line project was still on the way and he wanted to live up to the expectations of the villagers. “A lot of my friends a nd teachers told me not to do that. But if the factory is built but does not run well, it woul d be against my original intention（初心）.” Finally, Du’s teacher supported him.Recently, Du’s potato snacks took part in a college food competition. His product w as once in the first place with the support of many local villagers, which touched Du. “Rural revitalization（乡村振兴）depends on industrial revitalization. I want to make an effort with my hard work in this process.”22．What’s Du’s guoba made of?A．millet rice B．crispy corn C．sweet potatoes D．col orful potatoes23．How did Du’s team help potato sal es in Zhenba?A．They planted high-quality potatoes.

Well, some people can’t recognize this many because of colorblindness. If someone iscol orblind, that means he can’t see as many col ors as others –or, in rare cases, can’t see col ors at all.Thankfully, special glasses have already been made to help fix some types ofcol orblindness. Now, according to a recent research, scientists have brought this solution one step further. Karepov and Ellenbogen, engineers from Israel have found a way to apply this technology to contact lenses (隐形眼镜). This method is so creative because it can solve many different kinds of visual (视力的) problems.People are able to see color because of how the eye is structured. At the back of our eyes, there’re three different kinds of cells that absorb (吸收) light waves. When light waves are absorbed, the cells send a message to the brain for the image to be processed.If something is wrong with these cells, this can cause probl ems when the brain processes the image. One of the most common types of colorblindness is red-greencol orblindness. People who have this specific type of visual imperfection have difficulty telling apart the col ors red and green.“It would influence simple daily routines such as telling the col ors of traffic lights,” Karepov explained. He also stressed the importance of using this finding to create special contact lenses instead of relying on col or-correcting glasses.Whet her you prefer to wear glasses or contacts, it’s nice to know that people who are col orblind will soon be able to choose between the two, as well.31．The writer leads in the topic by _______ at the beginning of the passage.A．describing a fact B．listing a numberC．asking a question D．giving an example32．The second paragraph mainly tells us about _______ colorblindness.A．the main cause of B．the different kinds ofC．a simpl e tool to find D．a new method to fix33．The und erlined word “imperfection” in Parag raph 4 is cl osest in meaning to _______.A．experience B．weakness C．language D．examination34．The overall tone (总基调) of the passage is _______.A．personal and d oubtful B．sad but humorousC．scientific and promising D．informative but meaninglessOne of the things to be learnt in a foreign language is guessing all the time what kind of thing to come when listening to someone talking. Peopl e d o this all the time in their own language, so it is necessary to d o this in a foreign language, too. Here are some examples.1.” What’s the matter?” “I went to a party last night, so I…”2.”I feel so tired these days.” “I think you’d better…”3.”Of course, she never stops talking. She is one of the most…”You can see from the above three examples that the context helps a lot in understanding what is being talked about. So “guessing” is very important in understanding English, especially spoken English.35．This passage tells us mainly about ________.A．the importance of “guessing” in learning a foreign language.B．how to guess what one is going to talk about.C．Some examples of right guessing.D．how important it is to guess all the time.36．From the context, we can see maybe the finished answer in EXAMPLE 1 is ________.A．…so I didn’t have a good time.”B．…so I went to bed very late.”C．…so I felt unhappy.”D．…so I got up very early.”37．Maybe the finished answer in EXAMPLE 2 is ________.A．“I think you’d better have a good rest and take good care of yourself.”B．“I think you’d better have something to drink.”C．“I think you’d better get some help from your friends.”D．“I think you’d better to be more careful.”38．From the passage we can infer that guessing is ________ in l earning a foreign language.A．the only wayB．more important in spoken English than in written English.C．more important than any other wayD．more important in written English than in spoken EnglishMr. Smith is fifty years old.

Since many foreign tourists have known little about, here is some information about it.An end and new beginningBy the time of Shuangjiang. most of the harvesting (丰收) work is already completed in northern China .Farmers are now able to enjoy a period of rest.But in the south .the harvest is still in its best time, as farmers have to take home the sweet potatoes before they are destroyed by the coming frost.Across the country, after year of farming, now it is time to pl ow the fields and prepare the soil for next year.Enjoy the flaming red mapl e leaves (枫叶)Autumn might be the most col orful season in China with the leaves turning fromgol den yell ow to red. Activities like hiking become popular as people appreciate the bright red leaves.Nearly all the tourist websites list the best places for admiring the red maple leaves during this time, and many cities start to offer official routes for the best views of the leaves.Appreciating in the view an old tradition starting in ancient times .Du Mu ,awell-known poet from the Tang Dynasty (618-907) described the mountainous scenery in a poem :“ stopped the coach as charmed by the maple woods ; Frosted autumn leaves outshine February fl owers in redness.”Best time to adjust (调整)to a healthy lifestyl eIt is said that Shuangjiang is the best time to adjust to a nourishing (营养的) life, which reflects the belief that this is an important time to focus (关注) on health. "Keeping warm "shoul d be d ealt with first.Persimmon is the most popular fruit in many areas .Chinese believe that persimmon coul d not only keep off the coldness ,but also strengthen the muscl es and bones .Otherfruits ,including apples and bananas, are believed to help provide the necessary nutrition for the human body.46．The writer uses the poem to show that ______.A．poets take more interest in autumnB．it has just become popular for peopl e to appreciate the bright red leavesC．different routes are provided for us to enjoy the viewD．admiring the autumn view is a Chinese traditional custom47．By saying "Keeping warm should be dealt with first", the author probably means that ______.A．People might feel warmer around Shuangjiang.B．People usually have difficulty keeping warm around Shuangjiang.C．It's unnecessary to keep warm around ShuangjiangD．It's more important to keep warm than other things around Shuangjiang.48．This passage probably tries to interest _______.A．kids aged 3-6 B．travelers from other countriesC．rock music lovers D．football fans49．Which of the foll owing structures will you choose for the mind map of this passage?A．B．C．D．Every day, China imports(进口) different goods from countries across the globe. These imports also include solid waste, such as plastics, paper and metals. They mainly come from countries like the United States, the United Kingd om and Japan.These goods will no l onger be imported next year. China will ban(禁止) all imports of solid waste starting from Jan 1, 2021, said the Ministry of Ecol ogy and Environment(MEE).Why d oes China import this waste? In 1980, China’s economy(经济) was gradually taking off because of the reform and opening-up policy(改革开放政策). The country’s factories didn’t have enough raw materials(原材料) at that time. Therefore, China began importing solid waste. After being processed, it can be turned into materials that are used to make other products.For years, China has been the worl d’s largest importer of solid waste, with about 45 million tons arriving each year. Countries that send this waste to China pay about $25(163 yuan) to $50 per ton for recycling, China News Agency reported.Although the waste has helped develop China’s economy, it has brought more risks than benefits. Waste that can’t be used is either burned or buried(填埋). The water used to wash the waste is all owed to fl ow into nearby rivers. This has polluted the air, soil and water, posing a risk to public health, China Daily reported.China has made some efforts to ban waste since 2017. From 2017 to 2019, imports of solid waste fell by 68 percent, dropping from 42 million to 13 million tons, Xinhua reported.What about China’s waste?China can produce enough raw materials to support its economy now. However, it is also producing a rapidly-increasing amount of waste.In 2019, the government worked out a guideline for the creation of zero solid waste programs. These programs have been carried out in 11 cities and five districts(区域), including Shenzhen in Guangdong province and Weihai in Shandong province.50．After Jan 1, 2021, what will no l onger be all owed in China?A．Importing plastic products from abroad.B．Buying solid waste from abroad.C．Selling metals to other countries.D．Producing solid waste.51．What d o we know from Paragraphs 3 and 4?A．Many factories used to use solid waste to make products.B．About 45 million tons of waste are processed worl dwide each year.C．China has made a l ot of money by importing waste.D．It costs very littl e money to recycl e solid waste.52．What is Paragraph 5 mainly about?A．How solid waste has helped China’s devel opment.B．What we can do to protect ourselves from waste.C．What risks solid waste brought to China.D．How solid waste should be dealt with.53．According to the last paragraph, which word d escribes China’s efforts to ban waste?A．wasteful B．effective(有效的) C．chall enging D．expensiveBeijing Opera, also called Peking Opera, is our national opera. It came into being (形成) after 1790 and has a history of over 200 years. Its music and singing came from Xipi and Erhuang in Anhui and Hubei. The Guangxu Emperor (帝王) and Empress Dowager Cixi were also crazy about Beijing Opera and helped d evelop the art form.There are four main rol es in Beijing Opera: Sheng, Dan, Jing, Chou. Sheng is the leading male (男性) actor. For example, a Wusheng is a soldier or fighter. A Xiaosheng is a young man.A Laosheng is an old man with beard (胡子). Dan is the female (女性) role. Jing, mostly mal e,is the face painted rol e and Chou is the comedy (喜剧) actor or cl own (小丑).Beijing Opera is full of famous stories, beautiful facial paintings, wond erful gestures and fighting.

It can fly at a speed of about 200 miles per hour. You might think a bird that could fly so fast would be safe from most types of danger. Unfortunately, that is not true. By the 1970s, they had already been endangered. What was causing the number of falcons to drop so quickly?In America, a pesticide, a chemical, called DDT was harming the falcon eggs. Luckily, DDT is no longer used. The number of falcons is rising now.One unusual thing about falcons is that they like to make their nests (巢) in high places. In nature, they often nest on mountaintops and on the sides of cliffs (悬崖). Falcons have also got used to life in cities. They nest on tall buildings and bridges in cities. The height of these nests is from 50 to 200 feet in the air.They also like to return to the same nesting place every year. Both the mother and father falcons help to raise the babies. The mother stays more time in the nest. The father hunts and brings back food for her and the babies.Many people all around the country work very hard to help falcons live to adulthood. There are even video cameras fixed up in many places. This way, people can make sure the birds and their eggs stay protected.

New research now suggests that has already happened over the past years.A study coming out in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Science found that in most poor countries, higher temperatures are more than 90% likely to have resulted in a fall in economic output（经济产量）, compared to a world without global（全球的）warming. The influence has been less big in richer countries—with some even benefiting（获益）from higher temperatures.“We’re not saying that global warming created inequality（不公平）,” says Noah S. Diffenbaugh, the writer of the study and a professor at Stanford University who studies climate change. But “global warming has slowed down the improvement”. The poore st countries are facing the worst influence of rising temperatures—for which they are least responsible, he adds.The new study builds on past research. A 2015 study in the journal Nature predicted that the average income（平均收入））in the poorest countries will be 25% lower by 2100 compared to aworld without warming, while some of the richest countries—like the USA—could experience an increase in income. And a report from IPCC, the UN’s climate science body, showed that if global temperatures rise more than 1.5℃ by the end of the century, poor countries will likely face very serious challenges, including the disappearance of whole communities and millions of early deaths. “They will suffer the most, as they are already,” said Mary Robinson, who used to be a UN Special Envoy on Climate Change and a president of Ireland.The influence is greater elsewhere, especially in Sub-Saharan, African countries including Sudan, Burkina Faso and Niger, where climate change has driven the average income more than 20% lower. “There are a number of ways by which temperature influences economic activities,” says Diffenbaugh What’s clear is that, for poor countries, the news is all bad.24．According to the text, warmer temperatures ________.A．are mainly caused by poor countries B．may bring advantages to rich countries C．had no influence on the world before D．can improve the poorest people’s health 25．What does “suffer” underlined in Paragraph 4 most probably mean in Chinese?A．供应B．犹豫C．遭受D．谋利26．Which of the following will face great economic problems caused by climate change? A．The UN. B．The USA．C．Ireland. D．Burkina Faso. 27．What is the main idea of the text?A．Climate change will make poor countries poorer.B．We must take action to deal with climate change.C．Climate change can cause millions of early deaths.D．People make good predictions about climate change.28．From which is the text most probably taken?A．A geography textbook. B．A health magazine.C．A research paper. D．A storybook.Passage 7Christmas was coming. There was a man in rags (衣衫褴褛) walking in a hurry on the road. You might think he was a beggar (乞讨者), but actually he was an artist. His name was Vincent Willem Van Gogh. With a painting he had just finished, the poor Vincent entered a painting store.“Can you buy this painting to help me pay the rent (房租)?” Vincent asked in a low voice. “I don’t really like your painting, but it is said that you are hard-working and I want to help you, Here is five francs (法郎),” the storekeeper answered.Although it was only five francs, Vincent was very happy. He took the money and said thanks, thinking that he could buy some food and pay the rent.Near his home, Vincent saw a little girl in old clothes standing in the snow.The girl smiled sadly at the artist asking for some help. Clearly, the girl was hungry and cold.“Poor child! I should help her,” he thought.Vincent put the five francs into the girl’s hands, completely forgetting that he still needed money to pay the rent. Before the girl said thanks to him, Vincent had hurried away with his empty stomach.29．The story happened in ________.A．spring B．summer C．autumn D．winter 30．Vincent Willem Van Gogh was a(n) ________.A．beggar B．artist C．farmer D．storekeeper 31．The storekeeper gave Vincent five francs because ________.A．he thought Vincent was a beggar B．he liked Vincent’s painting very much C．he wanted to help the hardworking man D．he wanted to make friends with Vincent 32．What did Vincent do to help the poor girl?A．He painted a picture for her.

《提高阅读》专练中考西城 COf the many kinds of vegetables grown all over the world,which remains the favorite of both the young and old? The potato,of course. Perhaps you know them as ―taters‖, ―spuds‖, or―Idahoes‖. But it‘s no matter, a potato by any other name is still apotato—the world's most widely grown vegetable. As a matter of fact, if you are a normal potato eater, you will eat at least a hundred pounds of them each year.That's only a tiny part of the total grown every year, however. Worldwide, the potato harvest (收获) every year is over six billion bags, with each bag having a hundred pounds of spuds, some of them as large as four pounds each. In the United States, farmers fill about four hundred million bags a year. That may seem like a lot of taters, but it leaves us in third place among world potato growers. Farmers in Poland (波兰) dig up just over 800 million bags a year, while the Russians lead the world with nearly 1.5 billion bags.People eat potatoes in many ways —baked (烘烤), mashed (捣成糊状), and roasted, to name just three. However, in the United States most potatoes are eaten in the form of French fries. One fast-food chain alone sells more than $1 billion worth of fries each year. No wonder, then, that the company pays close attention to the way its fries are prepared.Before any fry makes it to the people who eat at this popular restaurant, it must pass many separate tests. Fail any one and the French fry is thrown away. To start with, only a certain kind of Idaho potato is used to make fries. They have less water than other kinds. Once cut into ―shoestring‖ shapes, the potatoes are partly fried in secret oils, sprayed (喷洒) with liquid sugar to brown them, steam dried at high heat, and then quickly frozen for shipment to each restaurant.Before shipping, though, every shoestring is measured (测量). Forty percent of the fries must be between two and three inches long. Another forty percent has to be over three inches. What about the twenty percent that is left? Well, a few short fries in a bag are okay, it seems.So, now that you realize the huge size and value of the potato crop, you can understand why most people agree that this part of the food industry is no ―small potatoes.‖53. According to the passage, which country has the largest harvest of potatoes？A. America.B. Russia.C. Poland.D. France.54. What can be known about Americans and French fries?A. Americans like to eat French fries at home.B. Americans care about French fries‘ size and shape.C. Americans eat French fries less than mashed potatoes.D. Americans prefer potatoes to be cooked in this way.55. What is the main idea of this passage?A. Potatoes are known by many names.B. The way of making French fries is interesting.C. The potato is an important vegetable in America.D. The various names of potatoes have a long history.D[来源:中.考.资.源.网]What does the word ―patent (专利权) ‖ mean to you? Does it interest you? If it does, stop and think a moment about some of the commonplace things that you use every day: the telephone, radio, television, and the thousands of other things that enrich our lives today, were once only ideas in the minds of men. If it had not been possible to patent their ideas, so as to protect them from being copied, these inventions might never have been fully developed to serve human beings.If there were no patent protection there would be little encouragement to invent, for once the secrets of an invention became known, those who did not experience the inventor's risks and expenses(花费) might well fill the market with their copies of his product and steal much of the benefit (益处) of his efforts.The most basic values in the U. S. patent system came from England. During the rule of Queen Elizabeth I in England, the growing technology was furthered by the giving of exclusive privileges (独家特权) to people who had invented new processes (程序) or tools—a step that did much to encourage creativity. Later, an important value was added: society had everything to gain and nothing to lose by giving exclusive privileges to an inventor, because a patent for an invention was given for something new that society never had before.George Washington signed the first patent law on April 10, 1790, and less than four months later, the first patent was given to a man named Samuel Hopkins for a chemical process, an improved method in soap making.In 1936, the Patent Office became a separate department and it has grown into an organization of over 2,500 people who every week deal with more than 1,600 patent applications, and of those, give more than 1,000. A patent may be given for any new and useful process, machine, or planning method.The patent system has also helped to improve the pay of the American worker to an unexpected level; he can produce and earn more by using computers or adding machines, two important patented inventions. Patented inventions also help keep prices down by encouraging competition.Our patent laws, like the Constitution from which they grew, have stood the test of time. They have encouraged creative processes, brought great benefits to society as a whole, and enabled American technology to outstrip that of the rest of the modern world.56. From the passage, what can we learn about inventors?A. They make a lot of money.B. They fight against copiers.C. They have a lot of experience.[来源:中.考.资.源.网]D. They put effort into inventions.57. Why were inventors given exclusive privileges?A. Because their inventions made leaders happy.B. Because their creativity is very important.C. Because their inventions could enlarge society.D. Because they were the smartest people in society.58. According to the passage, the patent system is good for America because ______.A. it helps more workers get jobsB. it provides a first-class serviceC. it produces less expensive thingsD. it helps inventors find markets59. What is the meaning of “outstrip” in the last paragraph?A. be better thanB. catch up withC. make better use ofD. cost more than中考通州CThe note read, ―Call Margaret at 555-6167.‖ A s a car instructor (教员), I often got calls from people to repair their cars. I dialed. A voice answered, ―I have something to tell you.‖―All right,‖ I answered, looking at the clock. I only had a few minutes before I went back to class. ―Yesterday I w as driving when my car started acting up (出故障). It was late at night. I was so afraid to stop the car to the side of the rode, but finally my car just broke down. I sat there wondering what to do.‖I really needed to get back to class. ―Would you like me to look at your car?‖ I asked.―Let me finish. Suddenly, two young men came. I didn‘t know what they were going to do. I was so scared.‖―They asked me what happened and said they might be able to get the car running again. I sat in the car hoping that these men weren‘t doing something bad. A few minutes later,they started the car. It started right up! They told me the car would be fine but that I should get it checked out.‖―And you‘d like me to look at it, right?‖ I asked.―No,‖ the woman went on. ―I was so thankful. I offered them money, but they wouldn‘t take it. Then they told me they were former (以前的) students of yours.‖―What?‖ I asked in surprise. ―Who were they?‖―They didn‘t tell me. They just gave me your name and the school‘s name and made me call to thank you. I hope you know how thankful I am.‖I didn‘t know what to say. I always tried to teach students to be honest and other things about life — use what you know to help others. My students helped someone because of what I had taught them in my classroom. I had just got the greatest reward a teacher could ever get.50. Why did Margaret want the instructor to call her?A. Because she wanted the instructor to repair her car.B. Because she wanted to be the instruct or‘s student.C. Because the instructor had helped her to repair her car.D. Because the instructor‘s students had helped her.51.

We can infer that the author was _____.A. pleasant for what his students had doneB. proud of his students‘ driving skillC. unhappy for being late for classD. glad that Margaret‘s car had been well中考顺义 CA desert is a very dry land where there is hardly any rain. In the day, it can be so hot that you could fry an egg on the ground. But during the night it is sometimes so cold that water would turn into ice.Many desserts are covered in sand. But some have mountains, rocks, or lakes that have dried up in the heat. The Great American Dessert has cliffs (悬崖) that have been made into amazing and beautiful shapes by the wind. The Sahara Desert in Africa is mostly sand. The Australian Desert has red sand.Sometimes it does not rain for a whole year in the desert. But there is water deep under the ground and some plants have roots that go very deep to find it. Other plants have roots that spread out a long way so they can suck up the rain as soon as it falls.One desert plant is the cactus, which has long, spreading roots. The cactus stores water inside its hard skin. This skin protects it from heat and cold.Camels are a bit like cactus plants! Theystore water, too—inside their bodies. They havespecial fur which protects them from the sunduring the day and keeps them warm at night.Some other animals live in deserts, too.They have to be very good at seeing and hearingbecause most of them only come out at night.This is why many desert animals have extra big eyes or ears.A desert fox has bigger ears than a normal fox. A gerbil (沙鼠)has huge eye, so that it can see at night. It stays cool in the day by staying underground, like most desert animals.Some people live in the desert but they always make their homes near an oasis.An oasis is where water comes from an underground river. Near an oasis, people can grow lots of plants and keep animals.Life is hard in the desert, for people, animals and plants. But desert people like to live there.53.A desert is very dry because__________.A. it is sandyB. there is so little rainC. the wind is strongD. there is no water deep under the ground54. What does the underlined phrase ―suck up‖ mean_________?A. 围堵B. 讨好C. 释放D. 吸收55.Which of the following is true?A. All the deserts are covered in sand.B. Camels have special fur to store water.C. People in the desert usually fry eggs on the ground.D. Desert people like to live in the desert though life is hard.DNapoga is a 12-year-old girl in Ghana (加纳), Africa. It is hard for her family to get clean water. Every morning, she leaves home at half past five to get clean water for her family in a village far away. It takes her six hours to get enough clean water for daily cooking and drinking. She has no time to go to school or to play with her friends. Millions of people in the world are like Napoga. They can‘t get enough clean water to keep healthy.Earth Day is April 22. But on all other days, we must also remember it. The water we use is the most important natural resource on the earth.Water covers 70% of the earth‘s surface. But most of that is sea water. We can‘t use it for very many things. Fresh watercovers only 1% of the earth‘s surface.You probably feel lucky that your life isn‘t as hard as Napoga‘s. But that doesn‘t mean you don‘t have to worry about water. We all face serious water problems. One of them is water pollution. All kinds of things from cars, factories, farms and homes make our rivers, lakes, and oceans dirty. Polluted water is very bad for people to drink. And dirty water is bad for fish, too. Now, 34% of all kinds of fish are dying out.How do cars and factories make our water dirty? First, they pollute the air. Then, when it rains, the rain water comes down and makes our drinking water dirty. Dirty rain, called acid rain (酸雨), is also bad for plants, animals and buildings.Scientists say that in 30 years, more than half of the people in the world won‘t have enough clean water. We have to learn how to save more water for ourselves and our children. Here is some advice for saving water:●Turn off the water while you brush your teeth. You can save as much as 450 liters each month.●Leaky taps (漏水的龙头) waste a lot of water. Fix them right away!●You can easily cut your 10-minute showers in half—and you‘ll be just as clean.●When you wash dishes, don‘t let the water run.●Only wash clothes when you have a lot to wash. If your washing machine isn‘t full, you‘re wasting water!56. Every morning Napoga went to get clean water _______.A. without going to schoolB. before she went to schoolC. after she finished schoolD. after she played with her friends57. On the earth, _______.A. there is 71% of fresh waterB. we don‘t need to wo rry about waterC. there is very little water for our livingD. sea water is widely used than fresh water58. Acid rain _______.A. is only bad for living thingsB. can be produced in factoriesC. doesn‘t do harm to people, but it‘s bad for plants, anima ls and buildingsD. doesn‘t just do harm to human beings but to ani mals, plants and buildings59. What‘s the main idea of the passage?A. It‘s time to take care of the water we use.B. Water is the most important natural resource on the earth.C. Something must be done to prevent water form being polluted.D. Clean water means much to human beings and living things around us.中考平谷 CPeople could only see for about 50 metres in parts of Borneo yesterday and Singapore recorded its highest pollution for nearly 10 years as forest fires in Indonesia sent smoke across the sea to the rest of South-east Asia. Face masks have been given to hundreds of thousands of people in Malaysia, and in many places children stayed in their houses behind closed doors rather than walk through the smoke to go to school. Traffic stopped because people could not see out of their car window, boats stayed in the harbour and some airports refused to let aircraft land.In Singapore, the air quality is measured every day. A measurement over 100 is considered unhealthy and at that level people who go outside will have problems breathing. Yesterday, the reading was 128 and hundreds of people went to hospitals to try to get medical help. 500 fires were counted on satellite images yesterday. If there are many more fires, they could cause serious health problems for people living in the area.Many of the fires are caused by people setting fire to their fields when they have harvested their crops. Some are caused by people lighting fires to cook on. But most of the fires are caused by winds which blew the flames from one forest to another. The smoke from the fires is then blown across the sea to other countries and, if there is no wind or heavy rain to get rid of the smoke there, it stays in the air. If it is so bad that the sun cannot shine through, people cannot see very far and many people become ill.The smoke clouds yesterday reminded many people of the haze that covered large areas of south-east Asia in 1997 causing many people to become ill and costing countries billions of dollars. I was living in Singapore at the time and I remember it well. I remember that I could not see the next apartment block for the haze, that I walked to the office and could hardly breathe and that I coughed and coughed for weeks afterwards. So did many of my friends and family and hundreds of thousandsof people in Malaysia. Let us hope that the rains come and the winds blow the smoke away. Let us also hope that people do not light any more fires.53. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?A. The author was living in Singapore in 1997.B. The fires were caused by people setting fire to the grass in the forest.C. Lots of Malaysians had to stay at home because of the heavy smoke outside.D. Some airports were closed because of the smoke and the airplanes couldn‘t land.54. Why did the people go to hospitals in Singapore?A. Because there was less smoke there.B. Because they could get face masks there.C. Because they tried to get medical help there.D. Because a measurement over 100 is considered unhealthy.55．What does the underlined word ―images‖ mean?A. public opinionsB. ideas in mindC. picuturesD. papers56. What can be the title of the text?A. WITHOUT FIRES, WITHOUT SMOKE.B. SMOKE SETTLES OVER SOUTH-EAST ASIA.C. SMOKE CAUSES MANY PEOPLE TO COUGH.D. BETTER STAYING HOME WHEN SMOKE COMES.D―It hurts me more than you,‖ and ―This is for your own good.‖ My mother used to say so years ago when I had to learn Latin, clean my room, stay home and do homework.That was before we entered the permissive period in education in which we decided it was all right not to push our children to achieve their best in school. The schools and the educators made it easy on us. They taught that it was all right to be parents who take a let-alone policy (不干预政策), We stopped making our children do homework. We gave them computers, turned on the television, left the teaching to the teachers and went on vacation.Now teachers, faced with children who have been developing at their own pace for the past 15 years, are realizing we‘ve made a terrible mistake. One such teacher is Sharon Klompus who says of her students—―so passive‖- and wonders whathappened. Nothing was demanded of them, she believes. Televison, says Klompus, contributes to children‘s passivity. ―We‘re talking about a generation kids who‘ve never been hurt or hungry. They have learned somebody will always do it for them. Instead of saying ‗go look it up‘, you tell them the answer. It takes greater energy to say ‗no‘ to a kid.‖Yes, it does. It takes energy and it takes work. It‘s time for parents to end their vacation and come back to work. It‘s time to take the car away, to turn the TV off, to tell them i t hurts you more than them but it‘s for their own good. It‘s time to start telling them ―no‖ again.57. What can we infer from the first paragraph?A. The writer‘s mother is strict with him.B. The writer developed himself naturally.C. The wri ter didn‘t have to stay home.D. The writer‘s mother used to let him learn Latin.58. What does the underlined word ―permissive‖ mean in the passage?A. allowing behaviourB. providing helpC. accepting opinionD. having discussion59.What‘s the main idea of the passage?A. It‘s time to be more strict with kids.B.Kids should have more activities at school.C. Parents should leave their children along.D. Kids should have a good example to learn from.中考怀柔COne day, I saw a kid from my class walking home from school. His name was Kyle. It looked like he was carrying all of his books. I thought to myself, ―Why would anyone bring home all his books on a Friday?‖ As I was walking, I saw a group of kids running toward him. They ran at him, knocking all his books out of his arms and tripping him so he landed in the dirt. His glasses went flying, and I saw them land in the grass about ten feet from him. He looked up and I saw a terrible sadness in his eyes.My heart went out to him. So, I ran over to him as he was looking for his glasses. As I handed him his glasses, he looked at me and said, ―Hey, thanks…‖ There was a big smile on his face. Then I asked him if he wanted to play football on Saturday with me and my friends. He said yes. Over the next four years, Kyle and I became best friends.On Graduation Day, Kyle was giving his speech, ―Graduation is a time to thank those who helped you make it through those hard years. Your parents, your teachers,your siblings (兄弟姐妹), maybe a coach… but mostly your friends. I‘m going to tell you a story…‖I didn‘t believe my ears to hear his story of the first day we met. He had planned to kill himself over the weekend.I heard the gasp (喘气) at his words. I saw Kyle‘s mom and dad looking at me and smiling that same grateful smile. Not until that moment did I realize it‘s depth.53.The underline word―tripping‖ here means ______in Chinese.A.绊倒Ｂ.跑开C.挡路D.指责54.The writer helped Kyle to ___ that day.A. carry his booksB. look for his glassesC. get up from the floorD. look for those kids55.How did the writer know Kyle‘s story?A. Kyle‘s parents told him.B. Kyle‘s teacher told him.C. Kyle told on Graduation Day.D. Kyle‘s other friends told him.DSome time ago scientists and doctors believed that babies started learning at a later age. But today‘s research shows that this is not true. Experts say that babies start learning from their birth, and even before that.Babies are influenced by the world around them. The first method of communicating with the outside world is smiling and crying. They smile when their mother does something that a baby likes. They cry when they feel unpleasant or want something.Babies learn even before they are born. They recognize new sounds when they are still in their mother‘s womb. Researchers from the Netherlands found out that unborn babies can remember sounds. They played sounds to babies and watched their movements. They realized that the older unborn babies got the longer they were able to remember sounds.Above all , mothers can influence how a baby develops in the first year after birth. American researchers studied about 1000 babies and mothers for three years. They found out that a mother‘s health influenced the intelligence of children a lot. Children of women who suffered from depression（沮丧）did worse in intelligence tests than those children of happy mothers. Such children also showed more problems when communicating with people.A baby‘s weight at birth may also influence its intelligence. Doctors have found out that babies who did not weigh that much at birth are more likely to have physical and mental problems. 500 youngsters who weighed less than 2 kg at birth were tested in the past years. Results show that they did not do as well in movement and mental tests than babies who had a normal weight.The first three years of a child‘s development is most important when it comes to communication and language learning. The brain develops rapidly during this time. When a child sees things and hears sounds of many people it repeats them often. Children that do not develop language skills during this period may have problems when they get older.At six months babies make sounds in their native language, after a year they are often able to say a few words. By the age of two they can create simple sentences. By the age of four the number of words a child can understand quickly increases and by the age of 5 it can understand some of the rules of its language.Generally , parents who care for their child more and help develop language skills before they start school do better at school.56. What is the first method of communicating with the outside world?A. smiling and crying.B. Reapt many sounds of people.C. Recognize new sounds.D.Say a few words.57. What can we learn from the passage?A. Babies start learning from their birth.B. Morther‘s health influence the baby‘s weight at birth.C. Babies start language learning in the first year after birth.D. When babies are st ill in their mother‘s womb ,they can remember sounds.58.59.What can be the best title for the passage?A. Babies Develop Better When They Are Cared ForB. Babies Learn Even Before They Are BornC. How To Develop Babies‘ Language SkillD.The Best Time To Start Babies‘ Learning59. What is the writer‘s purpose in writing the passage?A. To tell the true that babies start learning from their birth, and even before that.B. To suggest parents to helping their babies develop language skill before they start school.C. To explain why mothers‘ health influence their babies.D. To tell parents that babies develop better when they are cared for.中考海淀CBritish HumorIs it true that the British laugh at different things from people in other countries? Let‘s have a look at what we laugh at in Britain.To the British, the powerful and important are often figures of fun. It‘s not just politicians (政治家) who make us laugh quietly，but anyone whose job it is to tell other people what to do and who take themselves too seriously. We giggle at authority(权威), but also, kindly with anyone who is treated unfairly. We know they can‘t win, but if they do so sometimes, it‘s even funnier. Our clowns are often silly people doing silly things, while in America, they are often clever people doing clever things—and winning.The British laugh when other people might feel very worried. People say that the British are cold andunwilling to show their feelings and this is expressed in our humor. I don‘t reallythink that‘s true but I know that we do have a strong sense of irony (反讽). ―Not very pleasant‖, we say after some terrible experience. Along with this, is our love ofunderstatement (轻描淡写). ―It‘s a bit windy today‖ we might say in the middle of a t yphoon, or ―There‘s a slight problem‖ when something has gone very seriously wrong.A British comedian will often begin by saying ―Have you ever noticed…..?‖ We find humor in ordinary, boring life, especially its negative aspects. As well as this, we find it amusing to tell jokes about things that have gone wrong for us, rather than not mentioning them in case we look stupid. Our funny stories might start with ―I‘m such an idiot, I did something really stupid yesterday‖.Another thing that can make it diffi cult to understand ―British humor‖ is that we don‘t always laugh or even smile when we say something funny. We often ―keep a straight face‖ even when we‘re making a joke.So, is the British sense of humour unique? Well, probably not. It is the combination of all these features that make the British laugh and make so many other people ask ―Why is that funny?‖53. Which of the following is the British humor?A. The British laugh at themselves.B. The British laugh at things that are rude.C. The British laugh when they meet boring people.D. The British laugh when they think things are funny.54. The underlined phrase ―keep a straight face‖ means the British_______.A. look confusedB. stop laughingC. make a faceD. seem expressionless55. The writer thinks ______.A. the British politicians are funny peopleB. the British sometimes laugh when others might cryC. the British like to tell jokes in pleasant situationsD. the British humor is easy for other people to understandDFor eight weeks last summer, scientists from several universities and government weather laboratories carried out the Severe Thunderstorm Electrification and Precipitation Study (STEPS). They set up a center in Goodland, Kansas, home to some of the heaviest thunderstorms（雷暴雨）in the UnitedStates. In this area, humid air from the Gulf of Mexico meets hot, dry air from the southwest, resulting in storms so huge that they can last for days as they move east across the country.The scientists working in Goodland were trying to learn as much as they could about these disordered storm systems. They already knew that the combination of strong winds, large amounts of moisture(潮湿), and big differences in temperatures could produce thunderheads,known as Super Cells.They also knew that super cells could produce terrible weather, including tornadoes（龙卷风）. What the scientists did not know, however, was why some super cells produce heavy rain, lightning, and tornadoes, while others produce large hail（冰雹）that can destroy a wheat crop or a roof. The scientists supposed that the physical characteristics of storm clouds would give the reason for such differences.To study the storm clouds, the researchers in Goodland met each morning and studied weather data(数据), hoping for bad weather. Their cars, equipped with weather instruments, were ready. Whenever a storm came near, some scientists drove toward the storm front and began collecting data on winds, temperature, air pressure, and humidity. During the storm, they also calculated the time and place of every lightning strike.。

My summer hols wr CWOT. B4, we usd 2 go 2 NY 2C my bro, his CF & thr 3:- kids FTF ILNY, its gr8.Can you understand this sentence? If you can't, don't feel too bad: neither could the middle school teacher in England who received this as homework. This is Netspeak: the language of puterized munication found on Internet or cellphones. To newers, it can look like a pletely foreign language. So, what is the "translation" of the sentence above? My summer holidays were a plete wasteof time. Before, we used to go to New York to see my brother, his girlfriend,and their three screaming kids face to face. I love New York; it's great.Schoolteachers and parents say this new form of writing is harming（破坏）the English language. Increasing spelling and grammatical mistakes cxan be seenin students' writing. They fear the language could bee corrupted（面目全非的）.Everyone should just relax, say linguists（语言学家）. They believe Netspeak is in fact more of a good thing. David Crystal, from the University of Wales, argues that Netspeak and Internet create a new language use and the almost lostart of diary writing has been picked up again. Geoffrey Nunberg, from Stanford University, agrees. "People get better at writing by writing," he says, "Kidswho are now doing text messaging, , and instant messages will write at least as well as, and possibly better than, their parents."Linguist James Millroy says, for centuries, it is believed without exception that young people are harming the language. And you can bet your bottom dollarthat when today's teenagers bee tomorrow's parents, they too will think this way. Milroy argues that languages do not and cannot bee "corrupted"; they simply change to meet the new needs.However, Netspeakers do agree that it is important to teach young people how to speak and write Standard English. Cynthia McVey says, "I can understand Netspeak worries teachers and it's important that they get across to theirpupils that text messaging is for fun, but that learning to write proper English is a must for their future."Perhaps we should give teenagers a little more trust anyway. Erin, age 12, says, "I wouldn't use text language in my homework. Texting is just for fun"1. What is the main purpose of the first paragraph?A. To give an example of a foreign language.B. To show an example of creative methods.C. To express worries about using Netspeak.D. To lead in the topic of Netspeak.2. Which of the following is true according to the passage?A. Cynthia McVey points out teenagers can deal with Netspeak properly.B. Geoffrey Nunberg believes Netspeakers can write Standard English.C. David Crystal thinks Netspeak helps develop the habit of writing.D. James Milroy says that language is changing and improving.3. The expression "bet your bottom dollar" in Paragraph 5 means ______.A. be fairly sureB. be greatly surprisedC. think it a pityD. find it interesting4. What can be the best title for the passage?A. Netspeak: A Widely-Used Language on InternetB. Is Netspeak Harming the English Language?C. Is Netspeak Helpful in Language Learning?D. Netspeak: Advantages and Disadvantages3. What do you do if you're stranded（处于困境的）on a lonely island? Surely you need to find a way to get in touch with the outside world. Your best chanceof doing this is to draw the attention of a passing plane.Body signals（信号）Pilots from different countries understand body signals if they have the correct training. When you wave your arms up and down in a straight line, it means "yes". When you point downwards and swing your arm from side to side, it means "no". If you want the pilot to know that it's safe to land, push yourhands out in front of you and bend（弯曲）your knees. If you want to say thatit's not safe to land, put your arms in the air and move them to one side.Smoke signalsThe smoke from a fire can be seen from far away, so it's a good way to draw attention. If the weather is dry, it isn't hard to start a fire. Remember, however, that fires can be very dangerous if they get out of control. Neverlight a fire unless you're sure that it can't spread. If the ground is dark,light smoke can be seen more easily. Green grass and leaves produce lightsmoke.Ground-to-air signalsIt's a good idea to build some signals, too. Uselarge pieces of wood to make the symbols(标记). If you can't find any wood, use earth. Some useful symbols are:F "I need food and water."II "I need medicine."I "I am badly hurt."X" I am unable to move from here."Pilots' repliesIf the pilot lowers the plane's wings from side to side, this means "message received and understood". (At night,the pilot flashes the plane's green lights.) If the pilots flies the plane in a clockwise circle, this means "message received but not understood".(At night, the pilot flashes the plane's red lights.)However, there is no signal which means "message not received". Why not?1.Which picture means "it's not safe land"?2. What can we learn from the passage?A. Swinging your arm from side to side means "yes".B. If the ground is dark, light smoke can't be seen.C. If you need some medicine, make a symbol "II".D. The pilots make replies with a blue light at night.3. What is the passage mainly about?A. The explanation of building signals on an island.B. The importance of making signals on an island.C. Ways of sending out signals on a lonely island.D. Ways of receiving signals from a lonely island4. Spending two or three hours playing outdoors each day can reduce achild’s chance of being short-sighted, a research shows. It challenges (挑战)the belief that short-sightedness is caused by puter use, watching TV or reading in weak light.The Australian government researchers believe that sunlight is good for people’s eyes. They pared the vision(视力) and habits of 100 seven-year-old children in Singapore and Australia. In all, 30% of the Singaporean children were short-sighted—this rate(比率) was ten times higher than Australian children.Both groups spent a similar amount of time reading, watching television and playing puter games. However, the Australian children spent an average(平均) of two hours a day outdoors—90 minutes more than the Singaporean children.Professor(教授) Ian Morgan, from the Australian Research Council’s Vision Centre, said, “Humans are naturally long-sighted, but when people begin to go to school and spend little or no time outdoors, the number of short-sighted people gets larger. We’re also seeing more and more short-sighted children in cities all around the world—and the main reason may be that city children spend less time outdoors.”Daylight can be hundreds of times brighter than indoor light. But why does playing outside prevent us from being short-sighted? Scientists believe that natural light has a special chemical(化学物质) which stops the eyeball from growing out of shape and prevents people being short-sighted.So be outdoors. It doesn’t matter if that time is spent having a piic or playing sports.1. How much time did the Singaporean children spend outdoors on average everyday in the research?A. 2 hours.B. 90 minutes.C. 1 hour.D. 30 minutes.2. What is the fifth paragraph mainly about?A. Why people bee short-sighted.B. Why natural light has a special chemical.C. Why playing outside is good for one’s eyesight.D. Why daylight is much brighter than indoor light.3. Which of the following is true according to the passage?A. People will all bee short-sighted after they begin to go to school.B. Playing outdoors for 2 or 3 hours every day can help protect your eyesight.C. Children in Australia are more likely to get short-sighted than those in Singapore.D. If you spend two or three hours playing outside each day, you won’t get short-sighted.5. Everyone needs friends. There is an old saying, “Friends are God’s wayof taking care of us.” But how do you find real friendship an d keep it?The American writer Sally Seamans tells young students some smart ways to find friends. Sally says finding friendship is just like planting a tree. You plant the seed(种子) and take care of it to make it grow.First, you should choose a friend. What makes a good friend? It is not because a person has money or good looks. A good friend should be kind andpatient(耐心). For example, if you have a bad day, a good friend should listento your plaints and do his best to help. To make a good friend, you cannot betoo shy. You should make each other happy and share your lives.But things cannot always be happy. Even the best friends have fights. What should you do when you have a fight with your friend? You have to talk to him or her. When there is no one ar ound, have an honest talk. If he or she doesn’twant to talk, you could write a letter.There are three steps to being friends again:Tell him or her how you are feeling; say what your friend has done wrong, and explain why you did this or that. Remember that friendship is the most important thing in your life.1. Sally wants to tell students the ways to .A. find friendsB. plant treesC. gethappy D. keep fit2. What makes good friends?

Teenagers and friendship.B. The good friends around you.C. The trouble of growing up.D. The care and keeping of friends.6. ▲Two-year-old hero Ye Chengfeng saved most of his family from a deadly gas leak(泄漏). As his grandfather lay dead, the child woke up his grandmother and saved five other family members from deaths.▲More and more British school kids use their mobile phones to cheat(作弊) in exams. They use them to send messages to get the answers. So far this year, 1,013 students were caught cheating with mobile phones. Teachers are now teaching themselves so they can find the cheats. They also ask the students to hand the phones in before exams.▲A new study shows that girl chimps(黑猩猩) are faster to use tools than boys! Experts found that girl chimps in East Africa use sticks to dig in the soil two years earlier than boys do. But they don’t know why. Girls watched their moms work, but boys climbed trees. Yes, human girls always learn to write and draw first, but boys often run and play balls earlier than girls.▲In Germany, doctors have three ways to help kids who are addicted(上瘾的) to the Internet. First, learning art — Kids learn painting or singing; second, doing sports — Kids do swimming or horse riding. The last one is to go into nature — Kids plant flowers and grow vegetables. Doctors want kids to find other ways to have fun rather than surf the Internet.1. How many family members did 2-year-old Ye Chengfeng save?A. Six.B. Five.C. Three.D. Four.2.

Nowadays more and more people care about the exploitation(开采)of the natural resources, such as oil. Though there’re m any kinds of resources, with the fast increase of population and the increase of many more factories, themore we use, the fewer there will be left for the future. Oil is getting less and less year after year. It’s said that oil can last for only 50 years.Natural gas perhaps will last about 38 years.Oil can be used in many ways and it’s difficult to imagine what the modern world will be like without oil. But oil isn’t easy to find and get out of the earth. Men must study the rocks. When they think the rocks in a certain place may have oil, a metal tower is built. A machine in the tower cuts a hole down into the ground. At the same time, a steel pipe(钢管)is pushed down to stop the sides from falling in and to keep out water. At last if the men are right, usually the oil rushes up the sides with great force(力量)by the pressure(压力)of the gas in the top of the rock, and it rushes high into the air. If theoil catches a light, there will be a terrible fire. So a kind of cover is fixed on the top of the pipe, and the oil can run out through taps(活塞).If we are near the middle of the oil field, we can also get gas. Such gas is sent through pipes to towns far away and used in houses and factorieslike coal gas.Today oil is under pressure as never before. The price of oil keeps rising all the time. In many countries, the governments encourage people to save oil as much as possible.1 . The word “resource” in the passage means___________. .A.资源B.现象C.商品 D. 资金2. Which is the right order of the exploitation of oil?a. push down a steel pipe.b. study the rocks.c. build a metal tower.d. oil rushes up.A. b, c, d, aB. b, a, c, dC. b, c, a, dD. c, a, d, b3.Which of the following can be true according to (根据)the passage?A.

When did you last see a polar(极地的)bear? On a trip to a zoo, perhaps? If you had attended a winter activity in New York a few years ago, you would have seen a whole polar bear club. These “Polar Bears” are people who meet frequently in winter to swim in freezing cold water. That day, air temperature was 3℃, and the water temperature was a bit higher. The member s of the Polar Bear Club at Coney Island , New York are usually about the age of 60. Members must satisfy two requirements. First, they must get along well with everyone else in the group, this is very important because there are so many different kinds of people in the club. Polar Bears must also agree to swim outdoors at least twice a month from November through February.Doctors do not agree about the medical effects of cold-water swimming. Some are worried about the dangers of a condition in which the body’s temperature drops so low that finally the heart stops. Other doctors, however, point outthat there is more danger of a heart attack during summer swimming because the difference between the air temperature and water temperature is much greater in summer than in winter.The Polar Bears themselves are satisfied with the benefits(or advantages) of cold-water swimming. They say that their favorite form of exercise is very good for the circulatory system(循环系统) because it forces the blood to move fast to keep the body warm. Cold-water swimmers usually turn bright red after a few minutes in the water. A person who turns blue probably has a very poor circulatory system and should not try cold-water swimming.The main benefits(or advantages) of cold-water swimming are probably mental （精神的）. The Polar Bears love to swim year-round; they find it fun and relaxing. As one 70-year-old woman says,“When I go into the water, I pour my troubles into the ocean and let them float away(漂走).”1. The members of the Polar Bear Club must meet the following requirements except that __________.A. they must reach the age of 60B. they should be easy to make friends withC. they must swim outdoors at least 8 times in the four cold monthsD. they must agree to swim outdoors from November through February2. Doctors __________.A. encourage people to take part in cold-water swimming activelyB. point out the possible danger of blood illness during cold-water swimmingC. believe swimming is helpful both in winter and in summerD. have different ideas about the medical effects of cold-water swimming3. According to the passage, some doctors believe it is true that __________.A. you are healthy if cold-water swimming turns your skin color blueB. cold-water swimming causes more heart attacks in summer than in winterC. cold-water swimming can make the body temperature dangerously highD. Polar Bears are bears swimming in freezing water4. The Polar Bears like to swim all the year round, for __________.A. they can remain youngB. it is an easy way to keep the body warm in winterC. they find it enjoyable and interestingD. they might meet fewer troubles in life5. The passage is mainly about __________.A. a group of cold-water swimming loversB. the polar bears' lifeC. doctors' ideas about cold-water swimmingD. the requirements of the Polar Bear Club9. In modern society there is a lot of disagreement about petition. Some value it highly, believing that it is good for social progress. Others say that petition is bad. It sets one person against another. And it leads to unfriendly relationship between people.I have taught many children who believe that their self-worth depended on how well they did at tennis and other skills. For them, playing well and winning are often life-and-death matters. In their single-minded dream of success, the development of many other human qualities（品质） is sadly forgotten.However, while some seem to be lost in the desire（渴望） to succeed, others take a different attitude. In a culture which values only the winners, they are strongly against petition. Among the most vocal are youngsters who are under petitive pressures（压力） from their parents or society. They are always toldto be the top ones, but they think it’s really hard. When I teach these young people, I often find them in a desire to fail. They seem to search for failure （失败） by not trying to win or achieve success. By not trying, they always have an excuse: “I may have lost, but it doesn’t matter because I really didn’t try. If I had tried and lost, that would mean a lot. ”Clearly, this belief is the same as that of the true petitors who try to prove themselves. Both are based on the mistaken belief. They think one’s self-respect depends on how well one does pared with others. Both are afraid of not being valued. Only as this fear begins to dissolve (消除) can we discover a new meaning in petition.1. Why do some people wele petition according to the passage?A. It pushes society forward.B. It improves one’s abilities.C. It develops human qualities.D. It builds up friendly relationship.2. The underlined phrase “the most vocal” in Paragraph 3 means _____.A. those who try their best to winB. those who value petition most highlyC. those who depend on others most for successD. those who are against petition most strongly3. Which of the following may the writer agree to?A. Every effort should be paid back.B. petition should be encouragedC. Winning should be a life-and-death matter.D. Fear of failure should be taken away in petition.4. What does this passage mainly talk about?A. petition helps to set up self-respect.B. petition is bad for social development.C. Ideas about petition are different among people.D. Failures are necessary experiences in petition.10. Imagine you’re at a party full of strangers. You’re nervous. Who are these people? How do you start a conversation? Luckily, you’ve got a thing that sends out energy at small chips（芯片）in everyone’s name tag（标签）.The chips send back name, job, hobbies－whatever. Making new friends bees simple.This hasn’t quite happened in real life. But the world is already experiencing a new age of using RFID technology.An RFID tag with a small chip can be fixed in a prod uct, under your pet’s skin（皮肤）, even under your own skin. Some RFID tags have no energy source because they do not need it. The energy es from a scanning device（扫描装置）, which sends out energy and starts up the tag immediately.Such a tag carries information to that object, and the information can be renewed. Already, RFID technology is used for recognizing（识别） each car or truck on the road and it might appear in your passport. Doctors may put a smallchip under the skin to get a patient’s medical records. At a nightclub in Paris or in New York the same chip might get you to pay for the bill with the wave of an arm.Take a step back: 10 or 12 years ago, you would have heard about the ing age of puting. One example always seemed to surface: Your refrigerator would know when you needed to buy more milk. The idea was that puter chips could be put everywhere and send information in a smart network that would make life simpler. RFID tags are a small part of this situation. “The world is going to be a connected s et of personal small devices.” predicts Dr. J. Reich. But some people are nervous about the possibilities of such technology. It goes too far tracking（跟踪）school kids through RFID tags, they say.When Marconi invented radio, he thought it would be used for ship-to-shore munication, not for pop music. Who knows how RFID and other technologies will be used in the future. Here’s a wild guess: Not for buying milk.1.The article is intended to______.A. warn people of the possible risks in adopting RFID technologyB. explain the benefits brought about by RFID technologyC. convince people of the uses of RFID technologyD. predict the applications of RFID technology2. We know from the passage that with the help of RFID tags, people_____.A. will have no trouble getting data about othersB. will have more energy for conversationC. will have more time to make friendsD. won’t feel shy at parties any longer3. Passive RFID tags chiefly consist of____.A. scanning devicesB. radio wavesC. batteriesD. chips4. Why are some people worried about RFID technology?A. Because children will be tracked by strangers.B. Because market petition will bee fiercer.C. Because their private lives will be greatly affected.D. Because customers will be forced to buy more products.11. There were two McDonald’s – Mac and Dick – and they were brothers. In 1948 they owned a restaurant in California. They liked working in the restaurant, but they got tired of the customers(顾客) ordering so many different things to eat.“If we gave customers a smaller menu(菜单), we could make some of the food before they came, and they wouldn’t have to wait so long for their meals,”said one of the brothers. The other brother agreed and said, “If we made the customers e to the counter(柜台), we wouldn’t need any waiters andwaitresses(女服务员). We could also use plastic plates so there wouldn’t be any washing-up.”These were such good ideas that the McDonald’s brothers used them, and the customers were very pleased. They got their meals very quickly – in less than a minute – and they paid only 15 cents(分) for hamburgers and 10 cents forfries(油炸食品). The first McDonald’s restaurant had no seats for customers tosit on. This meant that people had to take their food away, and that no one had to clean up any tables after them.Then a man called Ray Kroc came to the brothers and asked to buy their business. They agreed to sell it to him for $27 million. After that, people paid Ray Kroc to open their own restaurants using the McDonald’s name and menu.B efore long, there were McDonald’s restaurants all over the United States, and nowadays, they are all over the world – even in China and Russia. The most successful McDonald’s business is in Hong Kong of China. The Hong Kong McDonald’s sells more hamburgers every day than any other McDonald’s anywhere else in the world.McDonald’s restaurants are so successful because children love going to them. They like the food, and they like the toys and games they can get at McDonald’s.1.The McDonald brothers offered customers fewer kinds of foods so that _____. A．they didn’t need waiters or waitressesB．they could use plastic platesC． customers could get their meals quicklyD．customers would pay less.2. Customers“paid only 15 cents for hamburgers”means the hamburgers were___.A. expensiveB. newC. cheapD. worth a lot less3. The first McDonald’s customers took their food away because_____.A． They wanted to eat it quickly。

专题十二并列句和复合句-【中考英语语法复习专项突破】

专题十二并列句和复合句一对一“梳理”知识点高效复习法并列连词and, but, or, so是中考的高频考点,这些词所表示的逻辑关系要理解吃透.并列连词连接的是两个或两个以上的并列成分,如两个词、两个短语或两个分句.做题时要仔细审题,弄清题意,抓住关键词来推敲并理顺前后的逻辑关系.复合句是由一个主句和一个或一个以上的从句构成,主句为句子的主体,从句只用作句子的一个次要成分,从句通常由关联词引导,并由关联词将从句和主句联系在一起.从句按其在复合句中的作用分为宾语从句、状语从句和定语从句.宾语从句是中考单项选择的常考点,侧重于引导词、时态、句意和语序的混合考查,考生在做宾语从句类试题时,首先应从语序着手,宾语从句的语序为陈述语序,即:主语＋谓语＋宾语＋其他,若选项不是陈述语序,则可以直接排除.其次,从时态方面考虑,一般情况下,宾语从句的时态要和主句的时态保持一致,但是,如果有明显的时间状语,则要根据时间状语来判断时态.最后,根据语境来判断疑问词,询问内容用what;询问时间用when/what time;询问地点用where;询问原因用why;询问方式用how等.定语从句主要考查的是关系词.考生在解答定语从句类试题时,可按以下步骤解题:(1)首先根据语境分析句子结构,找出先行词.(2)然后判断先行词是指人还是指物,缩小关系词的选择范围.(3)最后把先行词还原到定语从句中,明确先行词在定语从句中所作的成分,如果从句缺少主干成分,用关系代词;如果从句不缺主干成分,用关系副词.(4)特殊情况.牢记只能用that的几种特殊情况,结合题目做出判断.对状语从句的考查主要集中在从属连词的词义辨析上.解答此类题时一定坚持“句意为先”的原则.准确地翻译句意,就能准确判断出主、从句的关系和从句的类型,选择连词也就容易多了.主句和从句的时态搭配对状语从句引导词的判定也有帮助.如:含条件状语从句的主从复合句,主、从句的时态遵循三大原则“主将从现”“主情从现”和“主祈从现”.知识突破知识点1并列句一、定义:由并列连词连接的两个或两个以上的简单句组成的句子叫做并列句.二、并列句有四种关系:并列关系,选择关系,转折关系和因果关系一、定义:在句子中担任宾语的从句,就是宾语从句.二、用法1.宾语从句三大考点(1)动词不定式与疑问词连用可用作主语、宾语或表语.例如:When to go to Beijing hasn't been decided yet.什么时候去北京还没定下来.(作主语)I asked him when to leave Beijing.我问他什么时候离开北京.(作宾语)My question is how to get there.我的问题是如何到达那里.(作表语)(2)“疑问词＋动词不定式”作宾语时可以转化为宾语从句.例如:Can you tell me where to buy a map of China? = Can you tell me where I can buy a map of China?你能告诉我在哪里能买到中国地图吗?3.否定前移当主句的主语为第一人称,谓语动词是think, believe, suppose等时,要将宾语从句的否定词转移到前面的主句中,即主句的谓语动词用否定形式,而宾语从句的谓语动词用肯定形式.例如:I don't think he will come with you.我认为他不会和你一起来.I don't believe she will take part in the English evening.我认为她不会参加英语晚会.知识点3状语从句一、定义:在句中作状语成分的从句就是状语从句,它在句中修饰动词、形容词、副词或整个句子.二、用法1.常见的状语从句(1)时间状语从句.(6)结果状语从句.在时间状语从句和条件状语从句中,主句和从句一般有以下两种时态:(1)“主将从现”:主句用一般将来时,从句用一般现在时.例如:I will go swimming as soon as I finish my homework.我一完成作业就去游泳.(2)“主祈／情从现”:若主句是祈使句,或主句中有情态动词时,从句用一般现在时表示将来.如①Please let me know if he comes back.如果他回来了,请告知我.②If you feel hungry, you should eat something.如果你饿了,你该吃点东西.知识点4定语从句一、定义:在复合句中作定语,修饰主句中某一名词或代词的从句叫做定语从句;被修饰的名词或代词叫做先行词,引导定语从句的词叫做关系词.二、用法1.关系代词和关系副词的用法(1)当先行词是all, none, little, much, some, everything, anything, nothing等不定代词或被其修饰时.例如:Please get everything ready that we need.请准备好我们需要的一切.(2)当先行词前面有the only, the very, the last, the same等修饰时.例如:He is the only person that I want to see.他是我唯一想见的人.(3)当先行词被序数词或形容词最高级修饰时.例如:This is the most interesting book that I have ever read.这是我读过的最有趣的书.(4)当先行词既有人又有物时.例如:They talked about the people and things that they remembered in school.他们谈论着他们在学校记得的人和事.(5)当主句是以who或which开头的特殊疑问句时,为避免重复应用that.例如:Who is the person that is standing at the gate?那个站在门口的人是谁?3.关系代词中不能用that的情况(1)介词之后不能用that.例如:This is the factory in which we once worked.这就是我们曾经工作过的工厂.(2)非限制性定语从句中.例如:This is my favorite pen, which I bought yesterday.这是我最喜欢的钢笔,我昨天买的.(3)当先行词本身为that/those时.例如:You must find out those which may be ignored by us.你必须找到那些可能被我们忽视的东西.核心考点,各个击破考点1并列句例1(2022·河北,33题,1分) I saw a good film,________ I can't remember its name.A. soB. orC. forD. but【解析】本题考查连词辨析.句意:我看了一部好电影,但我记不起它的名字了.根据前后句句意可知,空前后之间为转折关系,使用连词but.答案:D针对性练习11.Study hard, ________ you will pass the exam.A. soB. orC. butD. and2.-Would you like to go to the concert with me?-I'd love to, ________ I'm afraid I have no time.A. soB. orC. andD. but3.At school, we are taught________ knowledge________ how to behave well.A. neither; norB. either; orC. not only; but alsoD. not; but考点2宾语从句例2(2021·湖北黄冈,33题,1分)-I think it's difficult to write the book report in two days.

H e collected some books and spent a lot of time reading about how to know if a pair of shoes fit properly.Following the books’ instructions, the man took a stick and measured his feet with it. He then went to the market. However, he left the stick at home, which was far away from the shop.By the time the man returned to the market, the shop was closed. And by that point, his shoes were completely worn out, so he had to return home barefoot.The next morning, he walked back to the market with bare feet, but the shoes that he had chosen the day before had been sold. The wise man explained what had happened to the shopkeeper, who asked, “Why didn’t you buy the shoes yesterday?”The wise man replied, “Because I left the stick that I had used to measure my feet at home. And you have to have the correct measurements of your feet before you can buy shoes. I didn’t want to buy the wrong size.”Even more surprised, the shopkeeper asked, “But your feet are always with you. Why didn’t you just try the shoes on?”The wi se man said, “All the books say shoes must be bought with the exact measurements of the shoes you already own.”Laughing, the shop owner replied, “You don’t need advice from books to buy shoes.

Walking together, my father and I used to have a lot of conversations through whic h I learned lessons from his experiences. He always told me, “You should have goals (目标) like climbing the mountain. ” Without the mountain-climbing that we both enjoyed, we couldn’t have enough time to spend together because my father was very busy. I really got a lot from mountain-climbing. It gave me time to talk with my father and to be in deep thought as well as develop my patience(耐力).Once we climbed a very high mountain. It was so challenging for me because I was only ten years old. During the firs t few hours of climbing, I enjoyed the flowers and trees, and the birds’ singing; but as time went by, I got a pain in both of my legs. I wanted to quit climbing. In fact, I hated it at that moment, but my father said to me, “You can always see a beautiful sky at the top of the mountain, but you can’t see it before you reach the top. Only there at the top, can you see all of the nice things, just like in life. ”At that time, I was too young to understand his words. But later after that, I got new hope and confidence.

It’s also used to unloc k phones or doors.Now, a similar technology, known as facial detection (探测), is entering a new field: the business of advertising (广告).Such systems are going through tests in a small number of stores. One facial detection system can judge (判断) a person’s “happiness” or “fear” level. Another system can detect whether someone is wearing eyeglasses. If so, stores can send advertisements for new glasses to him.Facial detection technology is also placed inside some large advertising boards. Cameras in thos e boards can detect information like people’s ages and five levels of feelings —from “very happy” to “very unhappy”.Supporters of the technology say it could improve buyers’ experience by showing products they might like or by offering them products at lower prices.Some are against the idea of using such systems. Pam Dixon, the head of a privacy (隐私) group, is one of them. She thinks ________. For example, a store could raise the price of a product according to a person’s age and feelings.However, on e store testing the technology explained people’s information like names or ages wouldn’t be stored. And the advertising board system maker said it didn’t keep any personal information or record any videos.25．Facial detection technology can judge people’s ________, according to the passage.A．weight B．feelings C．height D．hobbies26．What does the underlined word “they” refer to?A．Supporters.

He is a scholar （学者）who lived during the 3rd and 2nd centuries BC．Thanks to this scholar, we have the chance to enjoy the great book Shangshu, one of the “five classics” of Confucianism （儒学）.The TV show is named China in the Classics （典籍里的中国）. The wonderful program was presented by CCTV. In its first episode （集）, Fu Sheng’s story was turned into a stage show. After watching it, people not only showed great interest, but also were deeply moved by him. He lived a simple life and made his efforts to protect and pass on a country’s culture.The art director of the show is Tian Qinxin. It was not an easy task for him to turn an ancient classic into a one-hour stage show that connects with the people of today. However, he made it and the show received high praise from people.The TV show tells one classic Chinese book of ancient times in teaching episode, letting rich history shake hands with modern expressions. It is enjoyed by young people and makes classics “alive”.“Through the classics, we can see the foundations （基础）of modern China, ” said Tian. “No matter how the human history has developed, they still have a great influence on us. The classics remind us not to forget out past and explain where our cultural confidence （自信）comes from.”30．From Paragraph 1, we can know ________.A．a TV show makes us know Fu ShengB．many people have ever read ShangshuC．Shangshu tells Fu Sheng’s lifetime story31．What is the Chinese meaning of the underlined word “presented” in the sentence?A．出版 B．播出 C．观看32．Fu Sheng tried his best to ________ in his life.A．live a rich life B．make himself famous C．pass on a county’s culture33．Which of the following is true according to the passage?A．Young people are not interested in the TV show.B．The TV show has nothing to do with modern life.C．It was difficult for the art director to put on the TV show.34．What’s the purpose of writing the last paragraph?A．To require people to watch CCTV.B．To encourage people to learn classics.C．To advise people to take part in stage shows.Passage 8If you’re ever wondering what you can prepare for a seal’s birthday, maybe you can try a cake made of ice and fish.Yulelogs is a lovely grey seal. Recently, he celebrated his 31st birthday. All his human friends wanted to make it a day to remember. On this special day, the seal got a large ice fish cake as a birthday gift.Yulelogs once lived in a marine park （海洋公园）in the north of England when he was just a baby. Later the park closed and he was put into the wild. However, after living with humans for years, Yulelogs was not ready to take care of himself. But he had good luck and was saved by an organization in England in 1993. He has lived there happily since then.Normally, male （雄性的）grey seals live to be around 25 years old in the wild, but under the good care of the organization, Yulelogs just turned 31. This birthday was a big milestone （里程碑）for him and the organization as well.To mark the milestone, workers there surprised him with a special gift—a large ice cake filled with delicious fish. Yulelogs was excited to see the cake, and he was there to show his joy. “Yulelogs really loved his birthday cake,” a worker said. “It’s also a challenge for him as it requires a bit of thinking on how to get the fish out of the cake!”35．Why was Yulelogs put into the wild?A．He liked living in the wild.B．The park that he once lived in closed.C．He was ready to take care of himself.36．What’s the right order of what happened to the seal?①He was put into the wild.②He was saved by an organization.③He lived in a marine park.A．①②③B．②③①C．③①②37．What can we infer （推断）from the passage?A．The birthday cake was made of ice and fish.B．Yulelogs may not have lived so long without the help of human.C．The seal’s 31st birthday was a milestone for him and the organization.38．What can be the best title of the passage?A．A seal’s birthday party.B．A marine park for seals. C．A special birthday cake for a seal.39．The material is probably from ________.A．a biological magazine B．a travel guide C．a science fictionPassage 9Over the past few years, cars have become smarter and smarter. Some of them can even drive themselves. Now, our roads have followed suit （跟着做）. In the United Kingdom alone, there are around 650 kilometers of “smart roads” in use. Across the world, many more are being built. Some new technologies are being put to use.Roads that recharge（充电）Global warming has made us search for new energy sources. Why not look to the roads? With the right technologies, cars around the world could be producing energy as they go. Piezoelectricity ads mix traditional asphalt（柏油）with new material. They use vibrations（振动）from passing cars to produce electricity. In fact, piezoelectricity is nothing new. It was invented in 1880. However, it has never been widely used before now. The UK’s Lancaster University is going to change that. It has been improving the technology, including developing roadside batteries that can store the electricity.Roads that never freeze________ A tech company in Israel has developed the Snowless roads. When they detect snow or ice on their surfaces, the roads will heat themselves up, melting the snow or ice away. The project has been successfully tested on a few Canadian roads and in some of its car parks.Built-in brainRoads of the future may be able to know how many people are on them.

Gene editing (基因编辑) is one way in which we could do this. But this method has also created some discussion.In an online video posted on Nov. 26, 2018, He Jiankui, a researcher at the Southern University of Science and Technology, said that he had helped to make the world’s first genetically edited babies.The babies are twin girls who were born in November. Their father had HIV. The twins’ genes were edited in order to prevent them from suffering from the HIV virus.He said he chose to do this because HIV is widespread in China. “I feel such a strong duty not only to be the first to do this, but also to set an example,” he told AP.But his actions caused many questions. Although gene editing may help to prevent disease, many people are wondering if it is safe and ethical to use it on humans.Some believe that gene editing could be useful to HIV patients. HIV is “a large and growing pub lic health problem”, according to Harvard Medical School genetic professor George Church. Using gene editing for HIV is “a good idea”, Church told AP.However, others think that gene editing is still in its experimental periods and could result in terrible changes. “It could cause genetic problems later in life, including the development of cancer,” Julian Savulescu from the University of Oxford told BBC News.Others fear that people might use gene editing technology to make “designer (设计的)babies”. It would give parents the ability to choose everything from their baby’s eye colour to their IQ.“You could find wealthy parents buying the latest ‘upgrades’ for their children, leading to even greater unfairness than we already live with,” Marcy Darnovsky, direc tor of the San Francisco Center for Genetics told BBC News.44．What do we know about He Jiankui?A．He was the first person to edit genes.B．He made the twins suffer from HIV when he edited their genes.C．He made the world’s first genetically edited babies.D．He was the first person whose genes were edited.45．Who agreed that gene editing could be helpful to HIV patients?A．George Church. B．Julian Savulescu.C．Marcy Darnovsky. D．Chinese researchers.46．The underlined word “ethical” in the passage probably means “________”.A．合乎常情的B．道德的C．有价值的 D．有效的47．According to the story, we know that gene editing ________.A．is supported by the writer B．is good for wealthy peopleC．causes some heated argument D．has been used widely in the UK48．What does “designer babies” mean in the passage?A．Parents can change their baby’s eye colour.B．Parents are able to choose their baby’s height.C．Parents can give their baby everything that he or she likes.D．Parents have a chance to prevent their baby from suffering from the virus.【参考答案】B 2．D 3．A 4．C5．B 6．D 7．C 8．B 9．C 10．B 11．B 12．D 13．C 14．C 15．B 16．C 17．D 18．A 19．A 20．B 21．A 22．C 23．A 24．B 25．B 26．B 27．C 28．D 29．C 30．A 31．B 32．C 33．C 34．B 35．B 36．C 37．B 38．C 39．A 40．D 41．C 42．A 43．C44．C 45．A 46．B 47．C 48．B。

中考英语专项突破阅读理解精练15篇（1）During all this time I never stopped thinking about escape. When I traveled across to the other side of the island, I could see the other islands, and I said to myself, "Perhaps I can get there with a boat. Perhaps I can get back to England one day."So I decided to make myself a boat. I cut down a big tree, and then began to make a long hole in it. It was hard work, but about six months later, I had a very fine canoe (独木舟). Next, I had to get it down to the sea. How silly I was! Why didn't I think before I began work? Of course, the canoe was too heavy. I couldn't move it! I pulled and pushed and tried everything, but it didn't move. I was very unhappy for a long time after that.That happened in my fourth year on the island. In my sixth year I did make myself a smaller canoe, but I did not try to escape in it. The boat was too small for a long journey, and I did not want to die at sea. The island was my home now, not my prison, and I was just happy to be alive.A year or two later, I made myself a second canoe on the other side of the island. I also built myself a second house there, and so I had two homes.My life was still busy from mo rning to night. There were always things to do or to make. I learnt to make new clothes for myself from the skins of dead animals. They looked very strange, it is true, but they kept me dry in the rain.I kept food and tools at both my houses, and also wild goats. There were many goats on the island, and I made fields with high fences to keep them in. They learnt to take food from me, and soon I had goats' milk to drink every day. I also worked hard in my corn (玉米) fields. And so many years went by.46. The purpose of making a canoe on the island was to _____________.A. escape in itB. get to the other side of the islandC. use it for foodD. go around the island47.

The swan was flying over a lake. “This swan is so white,” he thought, “and I am so black. It must be the happiest bird in the world.”He shared his thoughts with the swan. “Actually,” the swan replied, “I thought so, too, until I met a parrot. It had brilliant colours of red and blue. No other bird could b e happier than the parrot.”The crow went off in search of the parrot and found it resting on the top of an old tree. The parrot explained, “I, too, was very happy until I chanced upon a peacock. My colours paled in parison to the peacock’s. Its rich colou rs put my coat to shame.”Curiosity defeated the crow, who was determined to look for the beautiful peacock. He finally found the peacock at the zoo. Hundreds of people gathered around to watch the peacock and its beautiful feathers. After the crowd had le ft, the crow rested itself on a rock and said, “Dear peacock, you are so beautiful. Every day, people e just to see you. People either drive me away or avoid me when they see me. You must be the happiest bird on the planet.”The peacock replied, “My beauty has forced me to be kept in this zoo. In the first few months I spent here, I often thought to myself that if I were a crow, I could be enjoying a carefree life outside. Then, after many months of struggling, I have e to realize that I need to learn to be happy with what I have instead of expecting what I do not have. I am happy because I am satisfied with my life here.”1．How did the crow feel about his life at the beginning?A．Interested. B．Surprised. C．Pleased. D．Excited.2．Why didn’t the swan think he was the happiest in the world?A．Because the crow shared his thoughts with him. B．Because the parrot was happier than the swan. C．Because he met a parrot. D．Because he thought he wasn’t as beautiful as the parrot.3．What does the underlined phrase “was determined to” mean?A．was allowed to B．made a decision to C．was supposed to D．made a promise to4．From the story, we can learn that ________.A．sharing can bring happiness to your life B．he is truly happy who makes others happyC．accepting what you have makes you happy D．confidence is the first secret of successPassage 2 （2021·甘肃兰州·中考真题）Six weeks before his 97th birthday, Giuseppe Paterno made his dream of a lifetime e true: He got a university degree.Mr. Paterno’s story has been reported around the wor ld, and draws wide attention, partly because of his age, the more important part is that his life story shows his belief. He has encouraged millions of children in Italy and elsewhere while they are facing difficulties during the coronavirus pandemic （新冠疫情）.Born in Palermo in 1923, the first of seven children in a very poor family, Mr. Paterno began working soon after finishing primary school. It was only after he retired in the mid1980s that he returned to his books.“His story shows that dreams can e true and that you can remain youngnot in age but in spiritif you develop interests,” said Rosella Cancila, his teacher of history at the University of Palermo.Italy’s university system is based on a threeyear degree, then a twoyear master’s course. Univ ersity officials are hoping that Mr. Paterno will continue his studies.But he isn’t so sure. “I have to say that in this moment, I don’t know whether I would keep on studying with the same spirit,” he said, adding that all the attention had made him a bi t tired. Still, Mr. Paterno said that he would probably try to get his master’s degree but he hadn’t decided yet.阅读以上短文，根据其内容回答其后各个小题。

九年级英语上册阅读理解专项训练12 试题

阅读理解专项训练〔12〕AResearchers (研究者) have announced (宣布) the result of two studies on the health effects of the drug aspirin (阿斯匹林). One study shows aspirin can sharply reduce the chance that a healthy, older man will suffer from a heart attack (心脏病).The study offered two new results from earlier findings. It said taking one aspirin pill every other day helped only healthy men over the age of fifty. It also said aspirin gave the greatest protection against heart attacks to men with low blood cholesterol (胆固醇) levels.Earlier in the United States began a major aspirin study in the early 1980s. It included 22,000 healthy men doctors. All were between the ages of forty and eighty-four. More than 11,000 of the doctors took a harmless pill that contained no drug. The men did not know which kind of pill they were taking.The doctors who took aspirin suffered 44% fewer heart attacks than those taking the harmless pill. 139 men who took aspirin suffered from heart attacks. Ten of them died. 239 men who did not take aspirin suffered from heart attacks. Twenty-six of them died.The researchers said the doctors’ study provides clear proof that taking aspirin can prevent a first heart attack in healthy, older men. They said, however, the result does not mean every man over the age of fifty should take aspirin. They said aspirin couldn’t help men who do not eat healthy foods, who smoke cigarettesand who are fat. The researchers said men who think they would be helped by taking aspirin should talk with their doctors first.1.The passage tells us that the new use of aspirin is ______.A.to treat heart diseaseB. to reduce pain while one suffers from a heart attackC. to help old people to be more healthyD. to reduce the chance of a heart attack in old men2.Aspirin can help those who ______.A work as doctors B. are under 40 years old C. are fat and smoke cigarettes D. are older and healthyBIt seems to be strange to you there is a blind spot (盲点)on the eyes. Here is an interesting experiment (实验) that can make something disappear, when one eye is open.Make a card about the size of a postcard and write two English letters L and R on it, L on the left and R on the right. First, hold the card about 80 cm away and you see both the letters. Then close your right eye and look at the letter R only with your left eye. And now, as you move the card slowly towards you, you’ll find the letter L disappearing. But if you move the card nearer to your face, theletter will be seen again. Now do the same experiment with your left eye closed, you’ll find the letter R disappearing.Why does the letter disappear? It is because there is a blind spot on the eye. When the image (影像) of the letter falls on the blind spot, it won’t be seen. That is why either of the letters disappears.1.The writer of the passage thinks that _____ there is a blind spot on the eye.A. few people knowB. no one knowsC. most people knowD. all the people know2. Th e word “disappear〞 in the passage means ________ in Chinese.A. 驱散B. 消散C. 消失D. 遗失3. You fail to see the letter L in the experiment because ___________.A. your eyes are poorB. its image falls on the blind spotD. your left eye is not open C. you move it close to your eyeCHenry was an office worker in a big city. He worked very hard and enjoyed traveling in his holidays.He usually went to the seaside, but one year he saw an advertisement in a newspaper. “Enjoy country life. Spend a few weeks at West Hill Farm. Good food. Fresh air. Horse riding. Walking. Fishing. Cheap and interesting.〞“This sounds a good idea,〞he thought. “I’ll spend a month at West Hill Farm. I think I can enjoy horse riding, walking and fishing. They’ll make a change from sitting by the seaside and swimming.〞He wrote to the farmer. In the letter he said that he would like to spend all of July there. Then on the first of July, he left for West Hill Farm.But four days later, he returned home.“What was wrong with West Hill Farm?〞 his best friend, Ed, asked him. “Didn’t you enjoy country life?〞“Country life was very good,〞Henry said. “But there was another problem.〞“Oh. What?〞“Well,〞he said, “the first day I was there a sheep died, and we had roast mutton for dinner.〞“What's wrong with that?〞Ed asked. “Fresh meat is the best.〞“I know, but on the second day a cow died, and we had roast beef for dinner.〞“Lucky you!〞“You don't understand,〞Henry said. “On the third day a pig died and we had roast pork for dinner.〞“A different meat every day,〞Ed said loudly, “ and you are complaining!〞“Let me finish,〞Henry said. “On the fourth day the farmer died, and I didn't dare (敢)stay for dinner!〞1.How did Henry find out about the farm?A.

So my daughter and I had to stay in a hotel. It cost me 12 pounds.〞Harry was worrie d. He remembered selling the woman a return ticket. “Come into the office, Madam,〞he said politely. “I’ll just check the Jersey timetable for May 22nd.〞The woman and her little girl followed him inside. She was quite right, as Harry soon discovered. There was no sailing on May 22nd. How could he have made such a careless mistake? He shouldn’t have sold her a ticket for that day. Wondering what to do, he smiled at the child. “You look sun burnt,〞he said to her. “Did you have a nice holiday in Jersey?〞“Yes,〞she answered, shyly. “The beach was lovely. And I can swim too!〞“That’s fine,〞said Harry. “My little girl can’t swim a bit yet. Of course, she’s only three…〞“I’m four,〞the child said proudly. “I’ll be four and a half.〞Harry turned to the mother. “I remember your ticket, Madam,〞he said. “But you didn’t get one for your daughter, did you?〞“Er, well…〞the woman looked at the child. “I mean…she hasn’t started school yet, she’s only four.〞“A four-year-old child must have a ticket, Madam.
