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

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

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

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

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

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

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

What’s the best title for the passage?A. A Silent BakeryB. A Special WishC. The Success of the DisabledD. The Rules of Bach’s Bakery第(九)篇Scientists are looking for ways that we can effectively use the light and heat from the sun. One idea that has caught their imagination is solar roads. They are expected to produce clean and renewable energy.With solar panels on the surfaces, solar roads cost more than traditional roads. However, besides the functions of traditional roods, they have the panels to receive sunlight and change it into the energy to supply power to homes, factories and street lighting. There are four layers in a solar panel:•Base layer: It is made of insulation material and forms a good grip with the road below this layer.•Middle layer: This is the most important layer. It holds all kinds of power lines connecting all the solar parts in the panel, like LED lights and the heating system.•Top layer: This layer is super-strong glass. It allows the panel to hold the weight of the heaviest vehicles.•Capping: This is the topmost layer used to offer extra protection to the solar parts in the panel. The layer must be rough enough to provide the traction for the safety of vehicles.With the smart design, solar roads can successfully charge the vehicles on them. And the roads have inbuilt LED lights to replace the traditional rood signs and lines, which are usually painted and harmful to humans. What’s more, the heating systems in the solar roads can take care of the snow and ice on the roads for drivers.Test solar roads have been built in several countries (France, China, USA, etc.) since 2014. The first word solar road project, Metrics of Watt Way in France, was set up by a French company called Construction Colas. It was an example of low effectiveness. In the first year, it had been expected to produce around 767 kWh of energy a day, but it only produced 409 kWh. Even so, the production could increase with design improvements. Of course, more time is needed before this technology is put into use.Solar roads may not be widely used in the near future, but they are indeed great for an environment-friendly and energy-saving world.1. Solar roads ________.A. offer power to homesB. get energy from factoriesC. keep the sunlight awayD. cost less than traditional roods2. Which of the following about the layers of a solar panel is TRUE according to the passage?A. The base layer is the most important layer.B. There are many power lines in the middle layer.C. The top layer lies on the top of the solar panel.D. The capping should be smooth enough for drivers.3. The first world solar road project ________.A. was set up in China in 2014B. showed high effectiveness as expectedC. was started by a US companyD. could get better with design improvements4. What is the best title for the passage?A. Solar Roads: A Widely Used InventionB. Solar Roads: A Safety Guard for DriversC. Solar Roads: A New Idea for Clean EnergyD. Solar Roads: A Way to Produce LED Lights5. Which part of newspaper may you read this passage?A. HistoryB. FashionC. SportD. Environment第(十)篇Steven Spielberg is the world’s most famous director. Hundreds of millions of people around the world have seen his films like Firelight, Amblin’ and The Color Purple. His films include two of the most popular films: Jurassic Park and E.T: The Extraterrestrial.Each of Steven’s parents had a deep influence on the young boy’s growing and character.

Steven’s father handed Steven the camera and asked him to try. The first efforts were terrible, but Steven was interested in camera. He used his toys as characters and began making short films. By his teens Steven had made his first short film, called The Great TrainCrash. Before long the Spielberg house began to look like a film set, with furniture and lights being moved around to prepare for a new film.He is skilled in making a film excite, sadden or amuse people as they watch it. Spielberg understands the life in the countryside, television and fast cars, all of which became more common in his childhood in 1950s America.

阅读理解Divided into two groups, the students were busy in a kitchen at the High Point Community Center in Seattle US. Instructor (指导员) Asia Faircloth taught one group how to cook vermicelli (意式细面) bowls with chicken. The other group joined instructor Jacob Alhadeff to practice new chopping skills with chef knives.The center’s four-week cooking course was centered on cooking and food justice. To teach more people about the importance of having nutritious food, the city recruited (招募) students from low-income families through social media. Each student received 100 dollars (700 yuan) at the end of the course.“Low-income people of color are more likely to feel the effects of food injustice (不公),” Alhadeff said. “So providing cooking ininstruction and putting money back in the pockets of our community members seemed like a no-brainer (容易做的决定):”Alhadeff and Faircloth started the course not only to teach kids how to cook, but also to encourage them to think more deeply about the economics behind food. They were shown how to connect the dots between persona choices and the economic cost of obesity (肥胖), climate change and global food supplies.Tahir Adams and Najah Goodrich, two juniors at Seattle Lutheran High School, joined the classes. They talked about how farmers have a hard time putting food on their own kitchen tables while growing fresh produce for the rest of he country. They were proud of the new skills and recipes (菜谱) they learned.“We started with more personal things, then looked at the bigger, global view... like, how climate change is related to food,” Adams said. “It can be really bad when droughts (干草) turn places into actual deserts and droughts cause civil unrest.”1.What do we know about the cooking course?A.It focused only on cooking.B.It was held in Seattle, US.C.Its students were from wealthy families.D.Each student got 100 dollars at the beginning of the course.2.In Paragraph 3, Alhadeff ________.A.explains the standards for choosing students.B.complains that community members are stupidC.proves that it’s a good idea to give students fee moneyD.explains why the course provides cooking instruction3.In the course, students were ________.A.taught how to reduce obesity B.taught to focus on economic questions C.taught to make their own choices about food D.encouraged to think more deeply about food 4.What can we conclude from what Adams and Goodrich said?A.They learned nothing from the course.B.They learned recipes from farmers.C.The course widened their views on food.D.The course taught them how to solve droughts.5.What is the best title for the passage?A.Learning food lessons B.Two cooks C.Nutritious foodD.Lose the weightWind power is a very clean source of energy. This is how wind power works. Wind makes windmills spin (旋转). When the windmills spin, they make electricity. Then we can use the electricity. A lot of people think that wind power is new, but that’s not true. For thousands of years, people have used wind to sail boats and move water. We still do those things today, but these days we mostly use wind power to make electricity.Wind power is a very popular source of energy. Most people think that we should use it more and more. First of all, it’s clean. Windmills don’t pollute the environment at all. Second, we can use wind power forever. After all, we will always have wind. Also, wind power is cheap, and it’s getting even cheaper.A lot of people don’t understand wind power very well. They believe that there are problems with wind power, but many of those problems are not real. For example, some people say that windmills are dangerous for birds. They used to be true, but it isn’t true anymore. Old windmills killed birds because they spun very fast. New windmills spin slowly, and they aren’t dangerous for birds.However, there are real problems with windmills. One problem is that many people think windmills are very ugly. This is a problem for people, because windmills are often in very prettyareas. Also, wind doesn’t blow all the time, so we can’t use wind power all the time. Finally, windmills are noisy.Wind power is becoming more and more common. Right now, more than 80 countries use wind power. About 2.5 percent of the world’s power comes from the wind. For some countries, that number is a lot higher. Wind power gives Denmark more than 25 percent of its electricity. 6.Why DON’T new windmills kill birds? Because________.A.birds don’t fly near them B.they spin slowlyC.they are shorter than old windmills D.new windmills don’t spin7.When did people start using wind power?A.About 25 years ago.B.About 80 years ago.C.About 500 years ago D.Over 1,000 years ago.8.What does the article say about wind power?A.Most people don’t like it.B.It’s getting cheaperC.Denmark doesn’t use it.D.It’s often in cities.9.What is the best title for the passage?A.Expensive Windmills B.Cheap and clean EnergyC.Popular and Clean Wind Power D.Dangerous for Birds10.Which statement is NOT true?A.Wind power is an environmentally friendly energy.B.Not many people understand wind power very well.C.Wind produces 25 percent of the world’s electricity.D.Birds may get killed by old windmills.Have you ever been talking to somebody at the party? Do you focus entirely on the person you are speaking with or does your attention keep jumping around the room to all the other people there? Generally, if the person is someone you really want to talk to, you will focus on them. Most other people will only get about half of your attention.You may think that this is OK because if you don’t really want to talk to them then what does it matter if you don’t give them your full attention? Consider two things. First you may just notrealize the importance of that conversation. If you are at a networking meeting and you hope to meet the CEO of Company X but you end up talking to someone who has a low-level job at a different company, then you may let your attention wander as you speak to him. But maybe you don’t realize that this person has already met the CEO and could introduce you. Do you think he will do that if he feels you don’t really care about speaking to him? This doesn’t mean you need to spend the entire time talking to him. Five or ten minutes of real attentive conversation can be worth 30 minutes to an hour of partial attention interaction.Second whether you want to speak to someone changes based on the situation. You love your spouse(配偶) but if he or she tries to talk to you while you are watching something you like on TV, where is your attention going? Make your own decision, but if you want them to feel valued, give them your 100% attention. The nice thing is that in many cases you can give them your attention for a few minutes and then return to what you were doing. You miss very little they feel valued and all is good.11.Generally speaking you would like to focus on someone______.A.who is friendly to you B.who is active at the partyC.who you want to talk to D.who you are speaking with12.The second paragraph is mainly to tell us that ______.A.you should focus on anyone you are talking toB.you should be interested in anyone at the partyC.you can refuse to talk as you like at the partyD.you should be patient with anyone at the party13.A person who has a low-level job probably _____.A.would like to talk with you B.is the one you’re looking forC.likes to make friends with you D.is well worth focusing on14.If your spouse wants to talk to you when you are busy you should _______.A.go on with what you are doingB.stop doing anything immediatelyC.decide according to the situationD.stop to talk to him or her at once15.What would be the best title for this passage?A.Be Always Friendly to Others at the PartyB.Improve Your Communication by Paying AttentionC.It Is Important for You to Be Active at the PartyD.Your Spouse Should Be Respected Any TimeNowadays, many people are under great pressure because of the heated competition from the society. As we know, every coin has two sides. Pressure can be the power that pushes us to move on but sometimes it can also be harmful if we just let ourselves suffer from it too much. It’s important to find some ways to release the pressure.Time management is necessary. You should have a list that includes all the things you need to do for the day and have to know the time that each of them will cost you. Put the most important thing to the first place. You need to finish the essential(重要的) work with more energy and a more concentrated mind. You will feel less stressful when you complete the task ahead of the deadline.Regular exercise is important. We will feel tired and nervous as our body have to stay in one condition for a long time while we are working. Doing exercise can cause the hormone that makes us feel happy, so try to keep doing exercise for at least half an hour every day.Don’t spend too much time on digital products. Digital products are really convenient but it seems that we rely on them too much. From the result of a survey in Britain, 29% of the British will check their cellphones before sleeping and 18% of the British will use their cellphones first when they wake up. If they don’t get their phones when they need, they will feel nervous. It is obvious that digital products have already caused some problems for people like reducing the ability of self-management and the chance of communicating with others. We really should use them properly.To avoid the bad effect of pressure, try to keep a timetable and the habit of exercise, learn to use digital products well, and you will see the change of your life.16.________ is helpful to finish your work in time.A.Having a timetable B.Exercising moreC.Getting enough sleep D.Eating healthy food17.Which of the following is TRUE?A.Pressure could be more powerful than harmfulB.Missing deadlines will make people less stressed.C.We will feel less tired if we move around more often.D.Digital products cause people unable to sleep well.18.The underlined word “concentrated” is closest in meaning to “________”.A.relaxing B.important C.easy D.focused 19.How many pieces of advice does the article give on reducing pressure?A.two B.three C.four D.five20.What is the best title of the passage?A.How to Become HealthB.You Should not Use Digital ProductsC.You Should Have a Plan for Your DayD.How to Release PressureDingzhen, a 20-year old Tibetan man who became an Internet sensation (轰动一时的人物) for his good look and innocent smile, has been given a job promoting (推广) tourism for his hometown, Litang county, Sichuan province. Many net users, however, got confused and thought the young man wearing a traditional Tibetan costume in a promotion video was from Tibet autonomous region (西藏自治区).Sichuan Provincial Department of Culture and Tourism was quick to respond by posting a topic on Weibo that said “Dingzhen is actually from Sichuan”. Dinghen also posted a picture of him holding a piece of paper with his own handwriting, which read, “Home is in Sichuan.”However, Tibet Daily, a local newspaper in the autonomous region, didn’t miss the chance to get attention by posting a picture of the Potala Palace (布达拉宫) on Weibo, and inviting Dingzhen for a visit, after the young man said in an interview that Lhasa(拉萨) was his dream city to visit.Other provinces and regions in China decided they couldn’t miss the party, and started a round of invitation game, their official tourism accounts on Weibo posting a variety of promotional posters and videos of local scenic spots and cultural attractions while asking Dingzhen to come to visit.Some net users believe Dingzhen’s popularity has great significance, as it comes from the efforts that local government and rural officials (农村干部) have made to promote local tourism and fight poverty (贫穷). Dingzhen’s popularity not only changes his own life, but also brings opportunities to his hometown’s cultural and tourism development.21.Dingzhen is a youngster from ________.A.Lhasa B.Sichuan C.Tibet D.other provinces 22.Dingzhen gained his popularity by _________ at first.A.appearing in a promotion video B.posting pictures on newspapers C.having interviews on TV D.joining the Internet carnival23.Which of the flowing statement is TRUE?A.Dingzhen thinks Lhasa is the best place that he has ever visited.B.Net users like Dingzhen’s video only because of the beauty of Sichuan.C.Tibet got people’s attention by inviting Dingzhen for a visit with a picture.

That night the sound of a trap catching something was heard throughout the house. The farmer’s wife rushed to see what was caught. In the darkness she could not see that it was a snake whose tail was caught by the trap.The snake bit the farmer’s wife.

He knew that newcomers in a country might find it hard to get to know the local life. The newcomers want to meet local friends, and the local people also want to find a way to practice English. Therefore, Joe creates chances for them both. He introduces different clubs and events to people according to their interests when people turn to him for help.What’s more, Joe takes a lead in hiking activities or city walks to bring people together. Different kinds of people have joined in his activities. Some are the local Chinese. Some are expats(侨民)from different parts of the world. In the group, the commonest spoken language is English, Joe also organizes other activities.With his friends’ help, Joe created a community in the WeChat group, Shenzhen Guide. At first, the group was created to invite outdoor lovers to join in the events he organized. Since Joe and his friends would share useful information about entertainment, events and news, the group quickly developed as friends would invite other friends to join. Joe then worked to build Shenzhen Guide into a noncommercial brand where those unfamiliar with the city could ask questions or find useful information.“I hope everybody likes Shenzhen as much as I do,” Joe said. The city is full of beauty, but there were no detailed English introductions to its beauty, mountains and other beautiful places. 33.Why does Joe introduce different clubs and events to people?A.To help more Chinese people find their interests.B.To attract more foreigners to take a trip to Shenzhen.C.To make more and more people like the outdoor activities.D.To create chances for locals and newcomers to communicate.34.What can we know from Paragraph 3?A.Only the local Chinese can join in the events.B.Any language is acceptable in the group.C.An event usually lasts for two to three days.D.People should spend some money joining in the events.35.What does the fourth paragraph mainly tell us?A.How people thought of Shenzhen Guide.B.How people asked for help from Shenzhen Guide.C.The creation and development of Shenzhen Guide.D.The advantages and disadvantages of Shenzhen Guide.36.What does the passage mainly talk about?A.Why Shenzhen is a city worth traveling to.B.Why foreigners like to study and work in Shenzhen.C.The good things a foreigner has done in Shenzhen.D.The relationship between the locals and the foreigners in Shenzhen.A dozen Chinese dishes have become popular during the Beijing 2022 Olympics, after athletes shared them on TikTok and in media interviews.

阅读单选Nature’s WarningsWhen the sky suddenly turns dark and the wind is strong, watch out! A dangerous storm might be coming. Storms are scary (可怕的). Watch for flashes of lightning. Listen for thunder (雷声). If nature sends these warnings, don’t wait for rain. Act right away to keep safe.Safety StepsAt the first flash of lightning (闪电), quickly get inside a building or a car. Do not go into a shed (棚) for protection. It is not closed like a building, so it is not safe.Even after you are indoors, be careful. It is not smart to go near doors and windows. They can blow in or break. A room with no windows is the safest place to be.Do not wash your hands during a storm. Do not use anything that runs on electricity either. Water and electrical lines are like roads for lightning. Even if you really want to play computer games, don’t do it! It is better to be bored than to risk getting hurt. Try reading a book instead. Reading is more fun than playing computer games.If you can’t get to somewhere safe, stay out in the open. You may feel safe under a tree, but that is not a good place to be. Lightning is pulling toward tall poles and trees. Stay down in an open space and cover your ears to protect them. Loud thunder can seriously hurt your hearing.Lightning Strikes (雷击)Lightning does not strike people very often. It is not likely that you will ever see that happens. If you do, call 120. Only trained emergency workers should care for a person who has been hit by lightning.If you follow these rules, you should stay safe during a storm.1.What can we learn from Paragraph 1?A.Storms are scary and harmful.B.Storms often come without warnings. C.People should take action after the storm.D.People should wait and watch lightning. 2.What does the underlined word “It” in Paragraph 2 probably mean?A.A building.B.A car.C.A room.D.A shed.3.What had you better do during a storm?A.Use a computer for a while.B.Leave the room and stay out.C.Find a closed or an open place.D.Listen for thunder by a window.4.What should you do if a person is hit by lightning?A.Call 120 for help.B.Stay down in a safe space.C.Move him or her to safety.D.Cover his or her ears quickly.5.What is the best title for the passage?A.Training Steps.B.Home Rules.C.Natural Order.D.Storm Safety.It just hadn’t been a very good week. On Tuesday, Sam’s father lost his job. Then on Wednesday, Sam’s mother said that the rent on their apartment was going up. Now it was Friday, and Sam had just opened his e-mail to find an invitation from Rosa to her birthday party.An invitation to a party at Rosa’s would have been good news. Sam knew Rosa from Adventure Club. Members of the club took trips to places such as the Museum of Natural History.Sam knew that he would enjoy Rosa’s party, but he didn’t want to go without a gift. What could he possibly buy her with the little money he had left in his pocket? Sam knew he couldn’t ask Mom or Dad for any money—not this week! “Well,” Sam thought, “I don’t have time to worry about this right now. I’ve got a report to write for school, and I’d better get to the library before it closes.”Later that afternoon, as Sam was leaving the library, he noticed a sign that said there was a book sale going on downstairs. Sam headed down for a quick look, and two books caught his eye. The first was a cookbook of Puerto Rican foods, and the second was a book about women explorers. “Rosa would like these,” Sam thought, “but would it be tacky(俗气)to give her used books for her birthday?”Sam decided that a used gift was better than no gift at all. Besides, Rosa supported recycling in a big way, so probably she would not mind. With his last dollar, Sam bought the books and went home feeling a little better.The party on Saturday was a lot of fun. Everyone told stories about the funny things they had done in Adventure Club—like the time they went hiking in a nearby park and fell into the lake. Rosa’s mother and grandmother served them delicious food and creamy coconut milkshakes(奶油椰奶奶昔). Rosa opened all her gifts and thanked everyone for the nice things they had given her. She stopped for a moment when she opened Sam’s gift, which made him wonder if she liked thebooks, but nothing was said. The moment passed, and soon the party was over.When Sam got home, he opened his e-mail to find this note from Rosa:Dear Sam,Of all the gifts I received today, yours was the nicest. How did you know I would love a book about women explorers and a cookbook of Puerto Rican foods? Now I have something to read that will inspire me to follow my dream of becoming an adventurer, and I have a book that I can share with my grandmother. She is getting older and wants to be sure her granddaughter knows how to make the wonderful foods of Puerto Rico. Thank you so much.

And then, you should say, “Excuse me.”This seems so simple, but it is surprising how many kids have never been told to do this. Actually, I notice adults all the time who cough and sneeze in public without placing a hand overthe mouth. One important thing I point out to the kids is that after they sneeze or cough on their hands, they should wash their hands as soon as possible. If not, they will be passing those germs along to everything and everyone they touch.If you come to a door and someone is following you, hold the door. If the door opens by pulling, pull it open, stand to the side, and allow the other person to pass through first, then you can walk through. If the door opens by pushing, hold the door after you pass through.After a few weeks of seeing kids try to get through doors in the school and watching them enter restaurants as the door hit other people, I knew I had to discuss with my students about the problem. Teaching them small acts of kindness, such as letting someone else go through a door first as they hold it open, may seem unimportant, but it can help students realize how to be polite and thank others. Once they’ve been told, they’re halfway there.When we have to go up moving stairs, we will stand to the right. That will give others who are in a hurry a choice of walking up the left-hand side of the moving stairs. When we are going to enter a lift, the underground, or a doorway, we will wait for others to exit before we enter.根据短文内容选择最佳答案。36.What’s the meaning of the underlined word “germs” in the second paragraph?A.痛苦B.细菌C.传染37.If you come to a door and someone is following you, you’d better ________.A.close the door B.stand to the side C.hold the door38.Why should we stand to the right of moving stairs?A.Because it’s dangerous to stand to the left.B.Because it’s a traffic rule which we must follow.C.Because we should make way for people in a hurry.39.From the passage we can know the writer is a ________.A.doctor B.traveler C.teacher40.The passage is mainly about ________.A.the rules of acts in public B.the ways of communication C.the knowledge of social lifeKing’s College Summer School is an annual (每年的) training program for all the middle school students who want to improve their English.

I landed on a glass rabbit and cut one of my eyes badly enough to blind me. The doctor said that if the eye was taken out, my face would look worse, so my scared and blind eye lives on with me.People often ask me uncomfortable questions about my eye or even play jokes on me. When the kids played games, I was always the "bad guy". Everyone looked down on me. Yet every time mom noticed I was unhappy, she would say to me, "Hold your head up high and face the world." It helped me move on in life.As a child, I thought mom meant: "Be careful or you will fall down or knock into something because you are not looking." As a teenager, I always looked down to hide my shame, but I found that people liked me when I held my head up high. In high school I was even made monitor, but outside I still felt like a freak(怪物). All I really wanted was to look like everyone else. When things got really bad, I would cry to my mom and she would look at me with loving eyes and say, "Hold your head up high and face the world. Let them see the love that is inside."Mom's love gave me confidence. Finally I was able to look people in the eye.

【英语】中考英语阅读理解专项训练100(附答案)含解析一、阅读理解1.阅读理解It's hard to turn down a tasty banana. They taste good and you don't have to wash them before eating them. However, British scientists say that the fruit may disappear by 2050.One reason for this is climate(气候) change. Scientists at the University of Exeter collected data(数据)from 27 countries and regions that produce 86 percent of the world's bananas. They found that climate change has improved growing conditions in 21 of these countries. In the past 60 years, the average yield(平均产量) has reached 1.37 tons of bananas per hectare(公顷).However, if temperatures keep rising, this advantage will disappear. Ten of the countries, including India, the world's biggest producer of bananas, will produce fewer bananas. By 2050, the fruit may die out.Shouldn't bananas grow more easily if it's hotter outside? In fact, the perfect temperature range for growing bananas is between 24 and 32 C. If temperatures get too high, they will stop growing.Diseases are another danger to bananas. Unlike other crops, the bananas we grow come from shoot cuttings(茎段)rather than seeds. This means that all banana plants have the same genotype(基因型). In other words, if a disease is able to kill one plant, it could kill them all.One serious disease is called Panama. Caused by fungus(真菌) in the soil, it spreads easily. It has spread across South Asia, Africa, the Middle East, and Australia. If one banana plantation(种植园)suffers from the disease, it will take 30 years until it is able to grow bananas again. Scientists have yet to find a cure for this disease.(1)What does the underlined word "this" in Paragraph 2 refer to?A. People's love for bananas.B. The taste of bananas.C. The convenience of eating bananas.D. The future disappearance of bananas.(2)What might happen if temperatures keep going higher?A. More countries will start to grow bananas.B. Bananas will grow better in most countries.C. Bananas will not be able to grow any more.D. Bananas won't be as tasty as before.(3)What does Paragraph 5 tell us?A. What diseases bananas may suffer from.B. How bananas are grown.C. How diseases can easily kill bananas.D. Which diseases can kill bananas.(4)The passage is written to ________.A. offer tips for growing bananasB. explain why bananas may die outC. show the difficulties of growing bananasD. describe bananas' growing conditions【答案】(1)D(2)C(3)C(4)B【解析】【分析】主要讲了香蕉可能消失的原因。

How could this happen? People used to think that hard work is the only way to success, but now they have understood that smart work can make them succeed, too.Hard workers don't mind working for long hours, while smart workers always think of several different answers to these questions, "Why should I suffer( 遭受…苦) ) this?” ” Isn't there a better way to do this?" Thanks to these people, we can use computers instead of the abacus now. Progressing in every field(领域)is the directresult of "try to find a better way" by smart workers.There was a large soap factory in Japan. Once it received an unusual letter fromsomeone who complained that there was no soap in the soapbox he bought.How could empty soapboxes go out of file factory? The engineers checked the producing and packing. The producing was fine, but in about one in ten thousand cases( 情况), the packing machine let an empty soapbox go. There was no need to spend a lot of money repairing the machine for such a small problem. The engineer soon worked out a solution, he put a huge X-ray machine and two large computers to find out the empty soapboxes. After teaching the workers how to use it, he sat down in his seat, exhausted."Sir, we could have solved the problems in a much simpler and cheaper way," a worker said."Really? How?""We can put a huge fan near the packing machine. The wind coming from the fan will blow away the empty boxes, leaving the other boxes with soap".See, this is smart work. In order to succeed, we should not only work hard like the engineer, but also think smart likethis worker.秒杀集训营一、词汇辨识1.all the time__________________2.find out______________3.pass the exam_________________4.do well in__________________5.blow away_____________6.think of__________________7.in order to_________________ 8. soap___________ 9.solution____________ 10.engineer___________二、选择题( ) 1.

She couldn't use chopsticks, either. So for the first two or three weeks, she had to take fork and spoon with bet when she went to eat in a restaurant. But now, with the help of her friends, she can use chopsticks very well.Food was a big problem, too. It took her a few weeks to get used to Chinese food. She didn't really like it at first. She thought it was too oily(油腻的). Also, she doesn't eat much rice. She usually eats bread, and her bread is quite different from most bread in China. Chinese bread is usually light and sweet. So she makes her oven bread at home. As a Muslim(穆斯林), she isn't allowed to eat pork.But that isn't really a problem. After she’d been in Wuhan for about a month, shefound out that there were Muslims there, too—and lots of Muslim restaurants! Most ofthem serve Xinjiang food,which is very similar to the food she eats. So now her foodproblems are solved.What still puzzles her now is communication. After she has stayed in Wuhan for half a year, she is just able to speak several Chinese words. Each time she goes to a market to buy things, she finds great difficulty in making herself understood with her broken Chinese. Sometimes her body language helps, but it doesn't always happen. However, she has made friends with a girl who can speak Chinese very well, and she decides to learn from her.秒杀集训营一、词汇辨识1. serve_________2.stay__________3.arrive in_____________4.know about_____________5.make friends with sb_______________6.get used to_________________7.at first________________8. with the help of…_________________9.be able to do_______________ 10.decide to do______________11. solve food problems _______________ 12. find out_____________ 13.be different from____________二、选择题( ) 1.

GoIn 1985 I visited China. I thought many Chinese parents put much pressure on only high school students. But in the following years, I found the pressure came to primary school children, then those of pre-school age, and finally newborn babies and pre-born children.In order to succeed, one or two years before entering kindergarten(幼稚园)they must study English, drawing, singing, and dancing, and the three years of kindergarten are mostly spent to build up an early lead in primary school performance. What if parents let their 3 or 4 years old child enjoy free time onSaturday and Sunday, after five days in nursery?They would be thought to bewasting their kid’s early life. As others do, so must they do.Yet children have not only the right, but the need to play. Kindergartensshould not be a school. There should be no classroom, no lesson, no homework, and especially no exams. Instead, playing should be the first thing for children.They need to play with others and also to play on their own,as playing is good for learning in a lively way. Children can discover numbers while playing games and the alphabet(字母表) through songs. Some Chinese characters can become familiar to them by being used in games, but the problem with kindergartens is very serious. Chinese parents think studying is more important. Children work hard while having less and less time to play. What these parents fail to realize is that they are following the examples of how not to raise a kid.秒杀集训营一、词汇辨识1.mostly____________2.following_____________3.succeed_____________4.yet___________5.right____________6.discover______________7.serious____________8.instead__________9.especially______________ 8.primary school________________二、选择题( ) 1.

GoDuring the 1800s, African Americans worked long days in the fields of the American South. They sang songs that they had brought from Africa while working. One person sang a line. Then a group of workers repeated it. The song’s words told of the hardships(艰苦) that people suffered. They clapped their hands and stomped(跺) their feet to the music.In the 1860s, the music changed greatly. African American music took new forms. It was also influenced by dance music, which had great rhythm(节奏). Banjos(班卓琴) became popular. A blues singer usually sang a line and then played the banjo in reply. By the early 1900s, the guitar had taken the place of the banjo in theblues music.The blues music has many obvious characteristics. One of them is that the musical notesare often “bent”. That is, they are changed slightly to give a song more strength.Lyrics are the words of a song. Blues lyrics describe everyday life. The lyrics are oftenabout the relationships between men and women. They tell about sadness and overwork. Theytell about finding and losing love, having money or being poor, being happy or sad and lonely. They almost always use the rhythms of everyday speech. A group of blues lyrics usually has three lines. The second line repeats the first line. The third line has different words.By the 1940s, large numbers of African Americans moved to Chicago. There, a new kind of “Chicago” blues began. The new music was excellent dance music. Chicago blues led to the birth of a new music style -rock and roll.秒杀集训营一、词汇辨识1.during_________2.line_________3.strength__________4.sadness_________5.lyric_________6.repeat_________7.suffer_________8.relationship_________9.lonely_________ 10.almost_________11.excellent___________ 12.sing songs____________二、选择题( ) 1.This passage is mainly about _________.A. the blues musicB. the life of African AmericansC. the blues lyricsD. the rhythms of different music( ) 2.

And they use the word "fashionable" in the same way:"She was wearing a fashionable coat. His shirt was really a fashionable color. "But of course there are fashions in many things, not only in clothes. There are fashions inholidays, in restaurants, in films and books. There are even fashions in school subjects, jobs ...and in languages.Fashions change as time goes. If you look at pictures of people or things from the past,you will see that fashions have always changed. An English house of 1750 was different fromone of 1650. A fashionable man in 1780 looked very different from his grandson in 1860.Today fashions change very quickly. Some of this is natural. We hear about things much more quickl y than in the past. Newspapers, radios, telephones and television send information from one country to another in a few hours.New fashions mean that people will buy new things, so you see there is money in fashion.秒杀集训营一、词汇辨识1. fashion___________2.mean ___________3. change_____________4. language____________5. hear about_____________6. in the same way________________7. in the past_______________8. be different from__________________ 9. from one country to another_____________________二、选择题( ) 1.

GoIt was midday when I got the call that my grandfather was not well and he was quickly getting worse. My family did not know how long he would stay in the world. I knew I had to get to the hospital to tell him how much I loved him. As I drove to the hospital, I pictured him before I got to tell him how much he meant to me. Trying to fight back the tears, I wanted to stay calm when I saw him.When I got to the hospital, I hurriedly looked for his hospital room. I found him in a semi-conscious state(半清醒状态). On my knees, I said softly, “Hello, Grandpa.”Still feeling shy, I decided not to leave his bedside without letting him know.While I asked about how he was, he told me, “I’ll be fine, Henry.” although we bothknew that wasn’t true. Then he asked me with a smile how I was doing.Hearing what my grandpa said, I was much moved. I made the decision that I hadto show my gratitude for him. As I found all the courage(勇气) I had, I hold his hand tightly. I cried out, “Grandpa, I just want to let you know how much I love you. I hope you already know that yet I just want to make sure.” By this time, the tears were rolling down my face. All those years of love that I had shut and not let him know, become free.Smiling, he said, “I know. Thank you for telling me that.” “All I have on this planet is my family and my love forthem. If there is anything I could ask of you, I want you to be good to your family: your mother, your father, and your brother. That’s all I want of you.”From then on, I began telling people how much I loved them, cared for them, and respected them. I get in touch with, for example, my babysitter, my barber, to show my appreciation. I go down into the city once a week and serve pizza to the homeless. I wake up every morning and list everything I’m thankful to in my life.秒杀集训营一、词汇辨识1.well_____________2.drove_____________3.mean_____________4.shy____________5.decide_____________6.decision__________7.without___________8.while_____________9.although________ 10.move__________11.serve____________ 12.wake up_________ 13.make sure_________二、选择题( ) 1.

In the garden, there was a little nightingale(夜莺) singing very beautifully.One day, the emperor heard about this little bird's beautiful voice. He asked his guards to bring her to him.

初中英语中考英语阅读理解训练的专项培优练习题(含答案一、中考英语阅读理解训练1.阅读理解How do you get to school every day? By bus or car? Song Kexin, a 14-year-old schoolgirl in Xiamen, prefers to go to school on her bike. "It's the quickest and easiest way to get to school," she said. "When there's a traffic jam, I feel the freedom while passing so many car lines."China was once known as the kingdom of bicycles. But these years, the popularity of bicycles in Europe is rising. Last year, more bicycles were sold than cars in Europe, according to the BBC.Cycling is a safe, clean and cheap way to get around the city. It makes both traffic jams and pollution less, and is great for our health.Of course, Rome wasn't built in a day. The popularity of cycling in many European countries is greatly because of bike-friendly policies.As the traditional "cycling capital" in Northern Europe, Copenhagen's roads keep bicycles and motor cars separated(分离)as much as possible. On these roads, there are pre-green lights for cyclists. These kinds of bicycle traffic lights turn green a few seconds before car traffic lights do. They give the cyclists time to avoid traffic while they are crossing.In Amsterdam, people can hire a bike from almost anywhere in the city. You can start from three hours and the average price for a full day is 8 euros (66.8 yuan).This year, in Ruian, there are also similar policies to hire public bikes. It's only 20 yuan for a full day. Do you see them around the city? It's important to be safe when you are cycling. If you remember the following ideas, you will be safer.■Although you may think a helmet(头盔)is not cool, it can protect your head if you fall down. Just choose the one that fits you best.■Stop at all stop signs and obey red lights just as cars do. It's a good idea to walk your bike across busy crossings by following traffic lights.■If you are cycling with friends, ride in a line. Don't ride with each other side by side.■Wearing headphones while you are biking is not a good idea. You need to hear what's going on around you.(1)Which of these advantages of cycling are NOT mentioned in the passage?A. Quick, easy and free.B. Safe, clean and cheap.C. Green, healthy and popular.D. Convenient, traditional and comfortable.(2)In Paragraph 5, the underlined word "They" refers to " ".A. pre-green lightsB. car traffic lightsC. Copenhagen's roadsD. bike rental companies(3)Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A. Cycling is much better than driving cars.B. It is helpful for cyclists to wear a helmet.C. More bicycles were sold than cars in China last year.D. In Amsterdam, the average price for a bike is 8 euros.(4)What is the best title for the passage?A. Be Careful While BikingB. Bike-friendly Policies Around UsC. Bikes' Rising Popularity in EuropeD. How to Solve the Problems of Transportation【答案】(1)A(2)A(3)B(4)C【解析】【分析】短文大意:这篇短文讲的是中国曾经是自行车王国,但是这些年欧洲人们骑自行车的人的数量正在上升,人们为什么要骑自行车和怎样骑自行车更安全。

If you work long hours at a desk you may want to make sure that your work environment is set up to be the most relaxing. Make sure that your body is being treated right.Keep your feet on the floor. This will often depend on how high your chair is, so adjust(调整) it in time to achieve good results.●Change your posture often. Sitting in one position for long periods of time is not healthy.

We are very open with our daughter. We want to teach her respect and awe(敬畏) for the things of bodies. So she was part of the process from the very beginning.In the morning the midwives came just as Linda was climbing into the birth tub(盆).Our daughter offered her mom water and food while she rested. When she found the noise and activity ofbirth, she was too nervous to stay long, so she spent a few minutes next to the tub, then went into another room to play. The midwives called her back in time to see her brother come into the world. As Linda pulled our tiny newborn son up, our daughter and I rushed to her side. All four of us hugging and crying and very excited.That night, and many times since then, our daughter said: “I’m so proud of Mom for having a baby.〞She has seen and admired the effort it takes to bring a new person into the world. It’s a part of her life, something that can happen in the same room where she colors and watches movies.It was crucial that our daughter was part of that experience, not just for her, but for Linda and me as well. Everything we wanted for her—trusted care providers; a very familiar environment; continuing support; good food —were things we needed but didn't have the first time Linda gave birth. We crossed this threshold(门槛) together, as a family, and it was messy and scary and painful and unusual and mysterious and really perfect.6.

As they stood side by side in front of a great mirror,they were surprised to find that they looked almost like twins!The two boys were in each other's clothes when Edward suddenly noticed a bruise〔淤伤〕on Tom's hand.He soon realized that it was caused by the guard who had stopped Tom rudely.In a moment,the young prince ran out of the room.He decided to punish the guard.However, the guard didn't realize that the prince was in Tom's old worn clothes.He hit Edward heavily on the ear and threw him out of the palace.11.Why did Tom look through the gate of the palace?A.To talk with the guard.B.To ask for a place to live in.C.To have a look at a real prince.12.How did Tom feel while moving past the guards?A.Nervous.B.Excited.C.Proud.13.When Tom was stopped,Edward got mad because of .A.the bad manners of TomB.the strict rules of the palaceC.the rude behavior of the guard14.Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A.Edward and Tom were twin brothers.B.Edward was kind,caring and friendly.C.Edward was tired of living in the palace.15.

They are all from plants or animals, but that doesn’t mean they’re friendly to the earth. For example, farmers have to use a lot of chemicals to grow cotton plants.Scientists are now looking for new ways to make clothing materials. They hope the new materials are both comfortable and good for the earth. Scientists have worked out how to make materials out of corn husks(棉籽), chicken feathers and rice straws.“They used to be useless things. We always have a problem of how to deal with them,〞Yang, a scientist says, “Now, we can turn them into beautiful materials. Chicken feathers are better than other things.

Rowling, once said that the character was based on a teacherof hers.The teacher turned out to be John Nettleship, who taught Rowlingchemistry. At first, Nettleship felt surprised. “I know I am a strict teacher,〞he said. “But I don’t thin k I am as bad as Snape!〞On second thoughts,however, he said that he was so ill-tempered that most of his students avoidedmaking him mad. Also, he used to wear long hair and have an untidy lab. Thatsounds familiar to Harry Potter fans.Alice / Alice LiddellFamously, Lewis Carroll’s Alice in Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland is based on Alice Liddell.Carroll was close to the Liddell family. One day, ten-year-old Alice asked Carroll to tell her a new story. Carroll began to create his famous tale of Alice and what happened after she fell through the rabbit hole.

The dog was looking up at the woman.Jack walked up to the woman and said, "Hello, Sue, how are you? May I sit and talk with you for a while?" "Of course, please sit down," Sue said. Jack sat down next to Sue on the bench, and they talked quietly together. The dog continued to look up at Sue, as if waiting to be fed."That's a nice dog, isn't he?" Jack said, pointing at the animal."Yes, he is. He's handsome. He's a bit of a mixture, but that's not a bad thing. He's strong and healthy.""And hungry, "Jack said." He hasn't taken his eyes off you. He thinks you've got some food for him.""That's true, "Sue said." But I haven't."They both laughed and then Jack said, "Does your dog bite(咬人)?""No, "Sue said, "He's never bitten anyone. He's always gentle and friendly."Hearing this, Jack decided to hold out his hand and touched the animal's head. Suddenly it jumped up and bit him."Hey!" Jack shouted."

Jack made a mistakeC. the dog wasn't dangerousD. both Jack and Sue liked the dog(6)No one can change the weather. Nobody can control the weather. But if we read correctly the signs around us, we can tell what the more important changes in the weather will be. This way of telling what the weather will be like on the following day or two is called weather forecasting(天气预报).For many centuries and in all countries, people have studied the weather and tried to make weather forecasting. Rings around the sun are a sign of coming rain. That many people feel their joints(关节) hurt is a sign of wet weather. Some birds fly high if fine weather is coming, but they fly near the ground if rainy or stormy weather is on the way. If you see a rainbow(彩虹) during rainy weather, this is a sign that the weather will become clear and fine. Such rainbows come in the evening. If the stars twinkle clearly at night, then fine weather will continue. If a fog(雾) appears in the morning just above a river, then the day will be warm. If the sunset is mostly red in colour, then the following day will be fine. If a rainbow appears in the morning, rainy weather will probably come.Most of the above sayings have been made by the people who have used their eyes and brains to make weather forecasting.50. Which of the following can be used here to replace(取代) the underlined phrase “on the way”?A. awayB. goneC. disappearingD. coming51. When you see the stars twinkle clearly at night, the weather will be_________.A. warmB. rainyC. clear and fineD. cold52. Which of the following signs can tell the weather will probably be rainy?A. A rainbow appears in the morning.B. Some birds fly high.C. The stars twinkle clearly at night.D. Fogs appear in the morning just above a river.(7)One 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. People do this all the time in their own language, so it is necessary to do 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 (上下文) helps a lot in understanding what is being talked about. So "guessing" is very important in understanding English, especially spoken English.53. This passage tells us mainly about _________.A. the importance of "guessing" in learning a foreign languageB. how to guess what one is going to talk aboutC. some examples of right guessingD. how important it is to guess all the time54. 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."55. 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 be more careful."56.

He experienced the most wonderful time of his basketball career, and finally we said, “It’s okay, Kobe Please have a rest.”But every coin has two sides. Let’s take a d ifferent view of it.If he weren’t so persistent (坚持的), he wouldn’t last for so long in NBA to won the pride for the Lakers. And if he weren’t too stubborn (固执的), he would have already have retired.All he has now, the honor, the highs, the glory, were what he had asked for. It was all his choice, which he never gave up.Kobe once said, “Have you ever seen the scene of Los Angeles at 4 a.m.? I often see, because I have been starting training at that time.” He spent more than half of his life on basketball. Everything has its time. Therefore, he has tried everything for the basketball.
