It is a fearful thing for travellers, especially if night falls, to hear the hungry howls(狼嚎) of the wolves as they get nearer and nearer.A Russian nobleman, with his wife and a young daughter, was travelling in a sleigh(雪橇) over a bare plain. At nightfall they reached an inn, and the nobleman called for more horses so that he could continue his journey. The innkeeper begged him not to carry on. “There is danger ahead,”he said. “The wolves are out.” The traveller thought that the reason that the man was telling him this was to keep him as a guest for the night. The nobleman replied that it was too early in the season for wolves, and ordered for the sleigh to be made ready to set off. Not caring about the repeated warnings of the innkeeper, the nobleman and his family left on their way.The driver had worked his whole life for the nobleman. He loved his master as he loved his life. The sleigh travelled quickly over the hard snow, and there seemed no signs of danger. The moon began to shine, so that the road looked like shiny silver. Suddenly the little girl said to her father, “What was that strange howling sound I heard just now?” Her father replied, “Nothing but the wind is blowing through the trees.” The child shut her eyes, and kept still for a while. However, in a few minutes, with a face pale with fear, she turned to her father, and said, “Surely thatis not the wind! I hear it again. Do you not hear it too? Listen!” The nobleman listened, and far, far away in the distance behind him, he heard a sound of the wolves. His family and the driver of the sleigh did not know the sound.Whispering to the driver, he said, “They are after us. Get your gun ready. I will do the same. We may be able to get away from them. Drive on! Drive on!” The man drove as fast as he could, but nearer, ever nearer, came the howling which the child had first heard. It was perfectly clear to the nobleman that a pack of wolves had got their smell, and was running after them.

鲁教版中考英语大题突破专题阅读理解填词01人物故事+说明介绍+观点态度试题147

阅读理解填词(一) 人物故事+说明介绍+观点态度AThere are many different methods for studying languages and learning new words. One man has come up with his own 1.w to understand the meanings of words—through rhyming(押韵). He uses words 2.t end with the same sound or a similar sound.Chris Strolin, an old man 3.f America, is working on an English language dictionary completely made up of limericks. A limerick is a short 4.p that has five lines that rhyme.Strolin says the idea for his dictionary started out as a joke when he 5.i it to some of his language-loving friends. His way was to use limericks.In 2004, he 6.d to start his own limerick dictionary online. He called it The Omnificent English Dictionary in Limerick Form. He started out with a limerick explanation of the word “a”. From there, he just kept going.Since the work is not 7.e , Strolin invited others to help come up with and add their own limericks to the dictionary. So far, 1,000 people have given their ideas. To date, more than 97,000 rhyming definitions(释义) have been created, with the number expected to 8.r 100,000 this year.The dictionary itself will be growing for many years to come. Strolin said his dictionary would not be 9.f finished until 2076.He said he hoped his grandchildren, or maybe 10.t children, would take over the work and finish it.B [2020·原创题]From deserts and beaches to playgrounds, sand is a common sight. But you might not know that sand is also a 1.u resource.Sand is the second most-used resource in the world after water, the BBC reported. 2.H , the UN said that sand is not limitless and that we might be running out of it.Sand is made up of very small 3.p of rock, soil and minerals(矿物质). It can take tens of thousands of years to form. But now we are using sand more quickly 4.t it is being formed. According to the BBC, we use about 15 billion tons of sand every year to build houses, roads and 5.o things. That’s enough to build a 20-meter-high by 20-meter-wide wall around the equator(赤道) every year.People also put sand in the sea to make new 6.i . Singapore, for example, is now 20 percent 7.b than it was in 1965.Palm islands are three large man-made islands in Dubai, United Arab Emirates. They took 94 million cubic meters of sand to build.If people 8.k using this much sand, it will run out in many places. For example, Vietnammay run out of construction(建造) sand by 2020, Live Science noted.Since people need so much sand, they are trying to mine(开采) more of it. But this is bad forthe 9.e . Mining sand may cause beaches to disappear and more floods to happen in places10.c to the sea. Also, this may affect the habitats(栖息地) of many plants and animals.COur lives are flying byPaper cups, plastic bags and old newspapers. There are so many single-use products that we throw 1.a after using only once.But the 2.i of single-use is about more than just plastic and paper. According to newswebsite Quartz, we are now living in a “throw-away society”. Single-use has become a natural wayof life and can be seen 3.a everywhere.Every day, we see new memes(表情包) stories and internet slang(网络俚语) on social media. Withso many of them 4.c out all the time, the lifespan(寿命) of each becomes short—they become“single-use online products”. This 5.a means social media users are always searching forthe next big thing.You may 6.f frustrated when trying to keep up with these memes and slang, but you justcannot help 7.b keep scrolling(滚屏). The stream is endless—no matter whether it’s WeChat Moments(朋友圈), Sina Weibo or Facebook.While you view single-use content online, you also produce it as well. Since 2017 WeChat Momentshas allowed users to make only the last three days of their posts viewable. This encourages peopleto 8.s without thinking too much.Since it doesn’t take too much time and energy to 9.c anymore, we now even have disposable(用后即扔的) friendships, according to a story in Fast Company.A single-use way of life may give you quick pleasure. But without any deep thought behind it,the 10.p may not last for long. It only keeps us coming back for more. Maybe weneed to slow down and enjoy a more thoughtful way of life.【参考答案】A [主旨大意] 本文是一篇记叙文。

Mother sat writing letters. Standing by her chair, looking at the ink bottle, pens, and white paper, I decided that the act of writing must be a most wonderful thing in the world.Years later, during her final illness, Mother kept different things for my sister and brother. “But the desk,” she said again, “ is for Elizabeth.”I never saw her angry, never saw her cry. I knew she loved me; she showed in action. But as a young girl, I wanted to have heart-to-heart talks between mother and daughter. They never happened. And a gulf opened between us. I was “too emotional(易动感情的)”. But she lived “on the surface(表面)”.As years passed and I had my own family. I loved my mother and thanked her for our happy family. I wrote to her in careful words and asked her to let me know in any way she chose that she did forgive me.My hope turned to disappointment, then little interest and, finally, peace — it seemed that nothing happened. I couldn’t be sure that the letter had even got to Mother. I only knew that I had written it, and I could stop trying to make her into someone she was not.But the present of her desk told me, as she’d never been able to, thatshe was pleased that writing was my chosen work.

Though we can not see, or hear, or feel our thoughts, they have great power （力量）!②Isaac Newton was seated in his garden on a summer evening when he saw an apple fall from a tree. He began to think, and tried to find out why the apple fell. Then he discovered how the earth, sun, moon, and stars are kept in their places.③James Ferguson once saw the inside of his father’s watch, and he wondered, “Why should I not make a watch?”This set him thinking and it led to a wooden clock which kept good time.④Walt Disney, the famous American film-maker, was often thinking of new ideas. One day, when he was in a meeting, he suddenly stopped talking, deep in thought. He looked and looked at a place high up in the room.

（2016江苏泰州）CThe first time I ever really noticed a disabled person, I was studying in the third grade. I saw some disabled people before, but I never really knew or cared about what those persons go through(经历)．When a new student arrived in my third grade class, I thought it would just be a common student, but this student was different. His name was Derek and he had autism(孤独症) . He sometimes had random outbursts(随意的发作) during class and we would stand there, doing nothing because we didn't know why he was doing that. When he sat down at desk, we would try to get away from him. After class, we would play jokes on each other, imitating(模仿) Derek, and laughing about it.Then one day, Derek's mom came to our class and talked with us. She told us that Derek wasn't just having random outbursts—he was trying to communicate. Then she chose a volunteer and filled that person's mouth with soft sweets. When we found the volunteer had great trouble in trying to speak, the mother explained that was what Derek was going through every day. We all understood her meaning.After this talk, no one tried to make fun of Derek or run away from him. We accepted his outbursts in class and he became one of our friends. Having a class with Derek has taught me to have an open mind to those who are different from us. My experience in having an autistic classmate has provided me with a good lesson.Now whenever I meet a family with a child who's behaving differently, I always remember what I have learned in my third grade class and go up to him or her.()41.

A（2016江苏扬州）BLast summer, after 16 years in America, I travelled to Moscow where I grew up. I was the first in my family to return. Mom gave me a hand-drawn map showing the location of mygrandfather's grave(坟墓). She asked me to visit it. I promised her it would be the first thing I'ddo.But it wasn't until a day before I was leaving that I found time to visit.By the entrance to the cemetery(公墓), a lady was selling flowers. She had only seven left. Ibought them all, but it was then that I realized the map was lost and never found.I could call my mom It was already morning in New York.But the problem was that I had already told her I'd gone to the cemetery. What was I going to say? That I decided to go again but lost the map?Then I found the office. An old woman searched the records and found two Abraham Pikarskis with no further details.I set off to look for them, hoping that at least one would have a picture on the stone.I found the two graves. Both said Abraham Pikarski, no pictures, nothing else.Which grave was mine?I put three flowers on the grave in front of me and went back to the first one. I also put three flowers there.I stood there with the last flower. Which Abraham Pikarski should it go to? Should I just discard it so that each Abraham Pikarski got an equal number? Finally, I put the flower on the grave. If this is really my grandfather's, he got the most. If not, let this be a respect to the stranger.I flew home to New York the next day. When Mom saw me, she started crying.“Mom, it's only been a week...”She said, “Son, thank you for visiting Grandfather's grave. It really means so much to me. When you called and told me you went there, I thought you were just comforting me. But this morning, my cousin called from Moscow, saying she saw your flowers on your grandpa's grave.”Should I ask her how many flowers her cousin saw? Three or four?34.

C35. C36. B37. A(2016湖北襄阳)BI arrived at my mother's home for our Saturday family dinner. The smells of food flew over from the kitchen. Mother was pulling out quilt after quilt from the boxes, proudly showing me their beauties. I knew they were all made herself. She was preparing for a quilt show on TV. When we began to fold and put them back into the boxes, I noticed something at the bottom of one box I pulled it out. "What's this?" I asked."Oh?" Mom said, "That's Mama's quilt."I spread the quilt. It looked as if a group of school children had made the pieces together."Grandmother made this?" I asked in surprise. My grandmother was a master at making quilts. This certainly didn't look like any of the quilts she had made."Yes, right before she died. I brought it home with me last year and made some changes," Mom said, "I'm still working on it. See, this is what I've done so far."I looked at it more closely. She had made a line straight (直的). At the center of the quilt, she had stitched a piece of cloth with these words: "My mother made many quilts. She didn't get all lines straight. But I think this is beautiful. I want to see it finished. Her last quilt.""Oh, this is so nice, Mom." I said. I was sure now that by completing my grandmother's quilt, my mother was honoring her own mother.

C(2016湖北襄阳)BI arrived at my mother's home for our Saturday family dinner. The smells of food flew over from the kitchen. Mother was pulling out quilt after quilt from the boxes, proudly showing me their beauties. I knew they were all made herself. She was preparing for a quilt show on TV. When we began to fold and put them back into the boxes, I noticed something at the bottom of one box I pulled it out. "What's this?" I asked."Oh?" Mom said, "That's Mama's quilt."I spread the quilt. It looked as if a group of school children had made the pieces together."Grandmother made this?" I asked in surprise. My grandmother was a master at making quilts. This certainly didn't look like any of the quilts she had made."Yes, right before she died. I brought it home with me last year and made some changes," Mom said, "I'm still working on it. See, this is what I've done so far."I looked at it more closely. She had made a line straight (直的). At the center of the quilt, she had stitched a piece of cloth with these words: "My mother made many quilts. She didn't get all lines straight. But I think this is beautiful. I want to see it finished. Her last quilt.""Oh, this is so nice, Mom." I said. I was sure now that by completing my grandmother's quilt, my mother was honoring her own mother. I realized that I held in my hands a family treasure. It started with the loving hands of one woman, and continued with the loving hands of another.56.

How could he escape?Hannay walked along the country for a long time. Then he saw a road worker, who was working alone, fixing the road. Hannay could see the road worker was not feeling well. Hannay came up to him and said “How are you?”“My head hurts,” the worker said, “I can’t do it. I want to go home to bed. My daughter got married yesterday, and I dran k a lot of wine with my friends. That’s the problem!”Hannay agreed that he should be home in bed.“Yes, and I would be,” he replied,”but yesterday I received a message saying that the new surveyor was coming to look at my work. If he comes and finds me aw ay, I’ll be in trouble.”Suddenly Hannay had bright idea--he could act as the road worker and get away from his enemies.“You go off to bed,” Hannay said,”I’ll do your job until the new surveyor comes.”The road worker was pleased with this idea. He gave Hannay his hat and his old coat. Then he went home to sleep and perhaps to drink a bit more. Hannay put on the worker’s hat and coat and began to fix the road. About an hour later he heard a voice.“Are you the road worker?” it asked.It was the new surveyor. He was a young man with a clean face. He sat in a small car.Hannay said yes. The surveyor told him about some work he wanted him to do before he came by again and drove off.

They spent their childhood in little wooden rooms. They got little education. Washington and Lincoln, for example, never went to school and taught themselves. Lincoln once did jobs as a worker, a shopkeeper and a post officer in his early years. A larger number of US presidents had experiences in the army. The two best known were Ulysses Grant and Dwight D. Eisenhower. Grant was a general(将军) in the American Civil War. It happened that they came from the same school—West Point Military Academy(西点军校). One may be surprised to learn that both of the m didn’t do w ell in the school.Eisenhower, for example, was fined(罚款) because he broke the rules of the school.The jobs of the US president are tiring. He must keep an eye on everything important which happened both at home and abroad. Every day, a lot of work waited for him to do and he had to make many important decisions. When Franklin Roosevelt was a child, he was once brought to visit President Taft. The old president said to him,“When you grow up, you should not be a president. It’s a tiring job.”[来1.

We took the same bus but didn’t know each other’s names. I used to think it was impossible for us to be true friends. How wrong I was! Smiles from the “nameless” people have changed my thoughts.The first time on the bus, I saw different faces, we met, greeted and cold faces turned into smiling faces. As days went on, we chatted like old friends.But I felt it a pity that I was unable to set up the same friendship with a silent girl in the front of the bus. Her old clothing suggested that she didn’t have much money, but she always took a cupof water for the driver. I guessed she was a kind girl. But why did she sit in silence instead of talking with us? Why did she never reply to our friendly greetings? Couldn’t she smile?Then, one evening, I got the answer. I walked to the park nearby and found the girl sitting alone under a tree, lonely and sad. I greeted her with the same warm smile that I had shown to her all these months, but this time her face turned red with a shy smile. As soon as she began her first words, I understood why she hadn’t spoken to us before. Talking was hard for her.I learned her story: Her parents worked hard somewhere. She lived with her disabled grandparents. She said, “I can’t express myself very well. Most of the time, I can’t say what I want to say. I have no friends but… you always smile to me like an angel…so I also want to smile.” That evening, we exchanged our names and we said goodbye like old friends.Smile is the key to opening the door of heart; it can break the cold walls in front of us.1.

The main idea of the passage is that __________.A. we should help those silent peopleB. smiles can deal with every difficulty we meetC. we should smile to the nameless people on the busD. smiles can help us get closer and understand each other better（四）Michael Morpurgo is one of Britain's best loved story makers whose book War Horse is taught in school. He made a speech at Book Trust Annual Lecture. When talking about tests, he said that too much testing in schools was taking the joy out of reading for children because it destroyed their confidence and resulted in feelings of shame and disappointment.Mr. Morpurgo said testing was "supposed to encourage" all children, whether they passed or not, but his was not the case. "When you fail, it brings a sense of worthlessness. It separates you from those who have passed, rocks confidence, and destroys hopes and dreams." For children who pass, they can have the opportunity to receive the great cultural and material benefits of our society through developing an enjoyment of reading.But for children who fail, they are made to feel that the world of books, stories and ideas is not for them, and they are not clever enough to join that world. It is not the world they belong to, and it is shut off from them forever.As the president of Book Trust, Mr. Morpurgo also criticized schools for taking the wonder of stories and playfulness of language. Schools have been teaching reading by turning stories into a series of comprehension and grammar tests, because they insist that measurable（可量化的）outcomes and results are the be-all and end-all of the education process. But blaming （责备）governments or schools is passing the buck --- it is a society as a whole that is responsible for whether its children succeed or fail in education, and everyone should make an effort to ensure that reading itself is a pleasure experience for all children.Mr. Morpurgo, who was a primary teacher before becoming a writer, wants to see a “story time” introduces in every primary school, when stories are read aloud, at the end of each day. HisBook Trust lecture called on schools and the governmemt to keep libriries open, for parents to read to their children every night, etc. “Story time” would be a special time with no testing or teaching. “Let the children go home dreaming of the story, reliving it, wonder… All the rest will come later. Once the seed is sown, the fore is lit, children will want to learn. So give them the love of story first; the rest will follow.”Diana Gerald, the co-worker of Book Trust, said, “Reading isn’t a tick-list of books. That need to have been read;nor is it just a skill to be learned then put aside. The ability of reading and writing can, and should be tested; reading for pleasure needs to be valued and seen more like exercise-do it as regularly as you can, make it fun and red together whenever possible for maximum benefits.”1. What does the expression “passing the buck” in Paragraph 3 probably mean?A. Valuable.B. Irresponsible.C. Unnecessary.D. Harmful.2. According to the passage, what should children do at their “story time”?A. Enjoy reading.B. Prepare for tests.C. Practise writing stories.D. Tick their book lists.3. Which of the following is Mr. Morpurgo’s suggestion?A. Test should be canceled in schools.B. Children should join the Book Trust.C. Reading for pleasure should be encouraged.D. The government should build more libraries.4. Which of the following statements is TRUE?A. Mr. Morpurgo hopes to become a primary teacher.B. Children who are t ested can’t get the joy from reading.C. Mr. Morpurgo wants his book War Horse to be read often in schools.D. Chilrdren who fail in tests probably won’t explore the wonder of stories.（五）DIY is very popular in China now. Yang Chen works for a computer business in Beijing. Though he enjoys his work, it is hard for him to relax(放松) after work.“For a long time, I had no choice(选择) except going to a bar for a drink and karaoke(卡拉OK) to relax myself,” he said.One day when he saw many toy dogs in a toy shop, he had an idea. “Why not do some kinds of things and relax myself?” Then he began to make model planes, model ships and something else. The things that he made by himself didn’t look as professionally(专业地) made as those in the shops, but he liked doing it. “It is not as much fun to play with things as the things we bought expensively from the shops,” he said. Now his bookshelves are full of many kinds of things he has made. They are very beautiful, and his family and friends like them very much.More and more young people are like Yang, making or creating(创造) things on their own. They like to do them themselves.Though making things with our own hands may take much time, some people, now known as DIYers— do-it-yourselfers, enjoy doing them very much. They can make all kinds of things they like. DIY is becoming more and more popular in China. It may be new to the young, yet many people remember when it was a way of life.During the 1960s and 1970s, when there were not enough living things for people to live on, they had to use their own hands to do many things. White washing the wall or making clothes was a part of life because there was no other choice. If you wanted something done, you had to do it yourself; and if you needed something, you made it yourself.1. Yang Chen________ in his free time in the past.A. played computersB. went to a bar for a drink and karaokeC. enjoyed his workD. made something by himself2. Things that Yang Chen made________ .A. look as professionally made as those in the shopsB. are much more expensive than those in the shopsC. are popular with his family and friendsD. are only model planes and ships3. Many young people like making things by themselves because________ .A. they want to make more moneyB. they do them for funC. there are not enough living things for them to live onD. they can’t buy them anywhere4. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage？A. DIY is becoming more and more popular in China.B. More and more people begin to make model planes.C. Between the 1960s and 1970s, people liked making things themselves.D. More and more young people are like Yang Chen.5. The main idea of the passage is________ .A. Yang Chen has a new hobbyB. how young people create new thingsC. DIY is a good way of lifeD. DIY was a part of life in the past（六）I’ve loved my mother’s desk since I was just tall enough to see above the top of it as mother sat doing letters. Standing by her chair, looking at the ink bottle, pens, and white paper, I decided that the act of writing must be the more wonderful thing in the world.Years later, during her final illness, mother kept different things for my sister and brother. “But the desk,” she’d said again, “it’s for Elizabeth. ”I never saw her get angry, never saw her cry. I knew she loved me; she showed it in action. But as a young girl, I wanted heart-to-heart talks between mother and daughter.They never happened. And a gulf opened between us. I was “too emotional(易动感情的)”. But sh e lived “on the surface(表面)”.As years passed I had my own family. I loved my mother and thanked her for our happy family. I wrote to her in careful words and asked her to let me know in any way she chose that she did forgive(原谅) me.I posted the letter and waited for her answer. None came.My hope turned to disappointment(失望), then little interest and, finally, peace— it seemed that nothing happened. I couldn’t be sure that the letter had even got to mother. I only knew that I had written it, and I could stop trying to make her into someone she was not.Now the present of her desk told, as she’d never been able to, that she was pleased that writing was my chosen work. I cleaned the desk carefully and found some papers inside —a photo of my father and a one-page letter, folded(折叠) and refolded many times.Give me an answer, my letter asks, in any way you choose. Mother, you always chose the act that speaks louder than words.1.

My mother’s DeskD. Talks between Mother and Me（七）One day Peng Xianzhe learned he would go to the Mashan School in Guizhou. The 16-year-old boy tried to imagine how serious the drought was for the students at that school. However, he realized it was more serious than he had imagined when he saw the sign “DON’T wash clothes with water，or you will be punished（惩罚）. ”Because of drought, the school has been short of water for a long time. Each student has only one bottle of water every day for washing and drinking. The drought has made the poor students much poorer.Peng is a student from Beijing Chaoyang Foreign Language School. He took part in the school’s Rain & Bow Project from April 2 to 10.The project idea came from Peng’s principal（负责人）. One day, she heard a sad story about Li Guoxian, a poor girl in the Mashan School，who stopped going to school because of drought. The principal started this project to help the school. In one day, 3，000 students made over 10，000 donations of water，books and clothes.Peng and other four students went to the Mashan School and gave the donations with five teachers. They visited poor families, made surveys and had classes at the school.Ding Zhentao，16，was worried about the school’s poor learning environment. “The blackboards and playground are too shabby to use，”Ding said. “Besides, there really aren’t enough teachers. A teacher has to teach both history and English, and even the cook is a class teacher. ”Although life isn’t easy, students at the school have a positive attitude(积极的态度）towards life and they are quite willing to learn. That’s what moved 16-year-old Chen Shi most.“They sang their songs together as usual before class every afternoon. After class, the students asked us to tell them things about Beijing and our studies,” Chen said. “You can see thepassion(热情）in them. I believe it will make a difference.

He knows it is a long trip to where Love lives, so he gets his things ready with some pizzas and drinks and starts off. When he passes three streets, he sees an old woman sitting in the park and watching some birds. She looks very hungry. The boy gives her a pizza. She takes it and smiles at him. The smile is so beautiful that he wants to see it again, so he gives her a Coke. She smiles once again. The boy is very happy.They sit there all the afternoon, eating and smiling, but they say nothing. When it grows dark, the boy wants to leave. But before he goes more than a few steps, he turns around, runs back to the old woman and gives her a hug(拥抱). The woman gives him her biggest smile ever.When the boy opens the door of his house, his mother is surprised by the look of joy(快乐)on his face and asks what makes him so happy. “I had lunch with Love. She has the most beautiful smile in the world.”At the same time, the old woman’s son is also surprised at his mother’s pleasure(快乐) and asks why.“I had a pizza in the park with Love,” she says, “and he is much younger than I expected.”If the world is full of love, we can enjoy a better life.1.

It means she can remember every small event—which most people would forget within(在……以内) days—as if it had happened just minutes ago.“I remember my mum putting me in the driver's seat of a car and taking a picture of me when I was 12 days old，”she said. “That's my earliest memory. I remember every day since then. I can't tell all the dates exactly because I was too young to understand calendars, but I remember what I did that very day, what the weather was like and so on.”Rebecca can also re-experience taste. If she's eating something that she doesn't like, she thinks about Black Forest cake, her favorite food, and the memory will be so strong that she can nearly “taste” it.However, sometimes her memories prove(证明) to be painful. Because they're not just events that she remembers. “When I relive(再体验) memories, the feelings return, too，” Rebecca said.“For e xample, I remember falling over when I was three at my grandparents' house and hurting my left knee. Talking about it now, I feel painful in my left knee.”“At night, I have to sleep with the radio/recorder and a soft light on，”she added. “If it's too dar k or quiet, my mind would be filled with all these memories and I can't sleep.”()1.

HSAM can greatly improve her living conditionsPassage 5Carlton Joseph is a fashion designer(服装设计师), but not just any fashion designer. He appears on television, he writes books, and he owns his own fashion house.Born in 1980, Carlton started designing clothes when he was eleven. His father owned a clothes store, and Carlton used to work there at the weekend. Then he did a design course at college.When he was 21, someone suggested doing a TV program. He made his first show “Carlton's Clothes” in 2004, and he wrote his first book in the same year. Since then he has written four more. Carlton got married to TV producer Susan Mills in2005.Three months ago, C arlton started his new company.

He is especially crazy about new glas ses, he buys a new pair every few weeks. “I like to look different every day，” he says.Carlton started wearing glasses when he was twelve.

Most readers know that his real name was Samuel Longhorne Clemens, but how many know where the pen name “Mark Twain” came from?The answer shows Clemens' colourful early life before he became a writer. “Mark Twain” was the cry shouted on a ship when the ship entered a part of a river that was two fathoms(6 feet)deep. “Twain” is an oldfashioned way of saying “two”. Twain trained as a ship pilot on the Mississippi river for two years, a time that he wrote about in the humorous Life on the Mississippi(1883)．The famous river would become an important theme in many of his works—who could forget the journey of Huck and Jim along it in his most famous book, The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn(1884)?With little education, he had to teach himself how to write stories. Whenever possible, he would go to public libraries. There he spent much time reading and thinking, which greatly helped him with his writing.On the other hand, his life experiences gave him wonderful material to write about and attract readers. Twain wrote in a style that has been called “local colour”because it shows great knowledge of local people and their customs.This gift is very clear in the two books for which Twain is still celebrated today：The Adventures of Tom Sawyer(1876) and its follow-up The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, which many people call “The Great American Novel”．The most amazing invention in the book is the voice of Huck himself. Huck did not enjoy schooling. It shows in the way he uses language, in a spoken style. Only a master like Twain could copy the way a young southern boy talked so well.()1. What does the underlined word “gift” mean in the passage?A. Twain's talent for self-teaching.B. Twain's “local colour” writing style.C. Twain's good sense of humour.D. Twain's experiences as a ship pilot.()2. According to the passage, what is the best part of The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn?A. The deep social meaning.B. The exciting life experiences.C. The special way that Huck talks.D. The nice view of the Mississippi.()3. Which is the most suitable place in the passage for the sentence, “Twain did not come from the writer's background you might expect.”？A. At the beginning of Paragraph 2.B. At the beginning of Paragraph 3.C. At the beginning of Paragraph 4.D. At the beginning of Paragraph 5.()4. What is the passage mainly about?A. Mark Twain's career as a great writer.B. Mark Twain's interest in describing local life.C. Mark Twain's achievements in American literature field.D. Mark Twain's life experiences which influenced his writing.Passage 7Rachel Carson(1907-1964) was a pioneer of the world's environmental movement through her writing about the protection of the natural world. Her 1962 book Silent Spring made her well known by many people. It describes the harmful changes in the environment of using toxic(有害的) chemicals on farmland.Carson's career started as a biologist in the US Bureau of Fisheries. ln 1951 she published her first book, The Sea Around Us, which became a bestseller. It made her rich enough to leave her job and devote her life to writing. She was a gifted writer. Her next two books were also about the oceans and both topped the book sales lists.Carson's book Silent Spring completely changed the way America thought about nature. It painted a bleak(荒凉的) future for the whole natural world. It led to a nationwide ban(禁止) on the use of a deadly chemical called DDT, and other toxic pesticides(农药) that farmers used for their crops. Many people say the book led to the creation of America's Environmental Protection Agency.Since her death, Carson's name has continued to be connected with protecting the environment. There is now a yearly Rachel Carson Book Prize. Norway awards the Rachel Carson Prize to women who have made great contributions to the field of environmental protection. In 1980, 16 years after her death, she was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom, the highest civilian honour in America.()1. What happened to Rachel Carson in 1962?A. She started to write books.B. She gave up working as a biologist.C. Her book The Sea Around Us sold well.D. Her book Silent Spring made her famous.()2.

At nightfall they reached an inn, and the nobleman called for more horses so that he could continue his journey. The innkeeper begged him not to carry on. “There is danger ahead,” he said. “The wolves are out.” The traveller thought that the reason that the man was telling him this was to keep him as a guest for the night. The nobleman replied that it was too early in the season for wolves, and ordered for the sleigh to be made ready to set off. Not caring about the repeated warnings of the innkeeper, the nobleman and his family left on their way.The driver had worked his whole life for the nobleman. He loved his master as he loved his life. The sleigh travelled quickly over the hard snow, and there seemed no signs of danger. The moon began to shine, so that the road looked like shiny silver. Suddenly the little girl said to her father, “What was that strange howling sound I heard just now?” Her father replied, “Nothing but the wind is blowing through the trees.” The child shut her eyes, and kept still for a while. However, in a few minutes, with a face pale with fear, she turned to her father, and said, “Surely that is not the wind! I hear it again. Do you not hear it too? Listen!” The nobleman listened, and far, far away in the distance behind him, he heard a sound of the wolves. His family and the driver of the sleigh did not know the sound.Whispering to the driver, he said, “They are after us. Get your gun ready. I will do the same. We may be able to get away from them. Drive on! Drive on!” The man drove as fast as he could, but nearer, ever nearer, came the howling which the child had first heard.

She hoped other teachers would use the same lesson with their own students. Soon posts and photos of notes from other schools poured in(涌入) from around the world.“After one student shared that she had no one to play with at break, the next day during break I noticed she was playing with a group of girls. Not only can I support my students, but my students can support each other,” said Kyle.Kyle’s story won the hearts of many people.“I take my hat off to this teacher.

Passage 6This year the US will honour(纪念) one of the country's most famous writersMark Twain(18351910). Most readers know that his real name was Samuel Longhorne Clemens, but how many know where the pen name Mark Twain came from?The answer shows Clemens' colourful early life before he became a writer. Mark Twain was the cry shouted on a ship when the ship entered a part of a river that was two fathoms(6 feet)deep. Twain is an oldfashioned way of saying two. Twain trained as a ship pilot on the Mississippi river for two years, a time that he wrote about in the humorous Life on the Mississippi(1883)．The famous river would become an important theme in many of his works—who could forget the journey of Huck and Jim along it in his most famous book, The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn(1884)?With little education, he had to teach himself how to write stories. Whenever possible, he would go to public libraries. There he spent much time reading and thinking, which greatly helped him with his writing. On the other hand, his life experiences gave him wonderful material to write about and attract readers. Twain wrote in a style that has been called local colour because it shows great knowledge of local people and their customs.This gift is very clear in the two books for which Twain is still celebrated today：The Adventures of Tom Sawyer(1876) and its followup The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, which many people call “The Great American Novel”．The most amazing invention in the book is the voice of Huck himself. Huck did not enjoy schooling. It shows in the way he uses language, in a spoken style. Only a master like Twain could copy the way a young southern boy talked so well.( )1. What does the underlined word “gift”mean in the passage? A. Twain's talent for selfteaching.B. Twain's “local colour”writing style.C. Twain's good sense of humour.D. Twain's experiences as a ship pilot.( )2. According to the passage, what is the best part of The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn?A. The deep social meaning.B. The exciting life experiences.C. The special way that Huck talks.D. The nice view of the Mississippi.( )3. Which is the most suitable place in the passage for the sentence, “Twain did not come from the writer's background you might expect.”？A. At the beginning of Paragraph 2.B. At the beginning of Paragraph 3.C. At the beginning of Paragraph 4.D. At the beginning of Paragraph 5.( )4. What is the passage mainly about?A. Mark Twain's career as a great writer.B. Mark Twain's interest in describing local life.C. Mark Twain's achievements in American literature field.D. Mark Twain's life experiences which influenced his writing. Passage 7Rachel Carson(19071964) was a pioneer of the world's environmental movement through her writing about the protection of the natural world. Her 1962 book Silent Spring made her well known by many people. It describes the harmful changes in the environment of using toxic(有害的) chemicals on farmland.Carson's career started as a biologist in the US Bureau of Fisheries. ln 1951 she published her first book, The Sea Around Us, which became a bestseller. It made her rich enough to leave her job and devote her life to writing. She was a gifted writer. Her next two books were also about the oceans and both topped the book sales lists.Carson's book Silent Spring completely changed the way America thought about nature. It painted a bleak(荒凉的) future for the whole natural world. It led to a nationwide ban(禁止) on the use of a deadly chemical called DDT, and other toxic pesticides(农药) that farmers usedfor their crops. Many people say the book led to the creation of America's Environmental Protection Agency.Since her death, Carson's name has continued to be connected with protecting the environment. There is now a yearly Rachel Carson Book Prize. Norway awards the Rachel Carson Prize to women who have made great contributions to the field of environmental protection. In 1980, 16 years after her death, she was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom, the highest civilian honour in America.( )1. What happened to Rachel Carson in 1962?A.

in the 7th century．A Chinese man called Cai Lun invented paper almost 2000 years ago．He made it from wood．He took the wood from trees and made it into paper．He then put these pieces of paper together and made them into a book．Now paper still comes from trees．We use a lot of paper every day! If we keep on wasting so much paper，there will not be any trees on the earth．If there are no trees，there will be no paper．Every day ，people throw away about 2800 tons （吨）of paper in our city．It takes 17 trees to make one ton of paper．This means that we are cutting nearly 48000 trees every day．Since it takes more than 10 years for a tree to grow，we must start using less paper now．If we don't，we will not have enough time to grow more trees to take the place of those we use for paper．So how can we save（节约）paper？We can use both sides of every piece of paper，especially when we are making notes．We can choose drinks in bottles instead（代替）of those in paper packets．We can also use cotton handkerchiefs （手帕）and not paper ones．When we go shopping，we can use fewer paper bags．If the shop assistant does give us a paper bag，we can save it and reuse it later．Everyone can help to save paper．If we all think carefully，we can help protect trees．But we should do it now，before it is too late．（1）When he was in China，Marco polo．A．saw many wonderful thingsB．learned to make paperC．discovered Cai Lun invented paperD．told people about it（2）Which of the following is NOT the way of saving paper？A．To grow more treesB．To use the paper bags from shops more than onceC．To use cotton handkerchiefs instead of paper onesD．To use both sides of every piece of paper（3）Which of the following is NOT TRUE？A．If we keep on wasting paper，we will have no paper to useB．The Chinese used paper money much earlier than the people in western countriesC．It is never too late to plant trees for paper．D．About 48000 trees can be used to make 2800 tons of paper．（4）Which is the best title （标题）of the passage ？A．The history of PaperB．Saving PaperC．Cotton Handkerchiefs Back AgainD．CaiLun ，the Great Inventor。
