Suddenly, she saw the lawn mower(割草机) sitting in the yard.“Mom,” she shouted, “I think I will mow the lawn.” Her mom ran into the yard and said, “Oh n o, you don’t. You’re too young to mow the law.”“I’m fourteen years old and know how to do it,” Jessie said. “Besides, it would help Dad out, and he won’t have to worry about it over the weekend.”Mom thought for a while and then decided to let Jessie give it a try. After all, she was home and would keep an eye on her. Jessie already knew how to start the lawn mower from watching her dad. Jessie checked the gas(汽油) to make sure it was full,and put on her gardening gloves to protect her hands. Mom watched from the kitchen window. Jessie really does know how to mow the lawn. She was very careful around the flowers and trees. When she finished, she felt so good, but she was so hot. Mom brought her some ice tea and said, “You sure did a great job.

and asked Gloria for books on cancer．The woman seemed anxious．Gloria showed her practically everything they had and found other books theycould order．The woman left the store less worried，and Gloria

say，“Thank you．”What a sweet sense of satisfaction Gloria felt!At Smith's bookstore，Gloria always realized she was working for the customers，not the store．Today it's the same．The TV station pays

chance to enjoy the sun in the UK and having naturally fair skin(白皙皮肤)，my legs were very white．In the UK this is not a fashionable look at all．Most women spend every sunny day out in the sun trying to get darker skin．The darker the skin，the better the look．I have tried to get darker but nothing works for me!As I walked around one shop．two shop girls didn’t take their eyes off me the whole time，talking quietly to each other in Chinese．I began to feel uncomfortable and asked my friend if we could leave．After we left the shop，she asked me what was wrong．I complained(抱怨) about the shop

Sun cream starts to work immediately.BIn the 1920s and 30s the airlines were just beginning. It was unusual for people to travel by air because it was expensive and dangerous. In those days, there were no flight attendants to look after the passengers. Young men ,or “stewards” helped the passengers onto the airplane and carried the passengers’ luggage(行李)but they did not provide food and drinks. But then in 1930,a woman called Ellen Church invented the“stewardess”.Ellen Church was born in 1904 on a farm in Iowa. She was a different child. She didn’t want to work on a farm or marry a farmer —she wanted a more adventurous(冒险的)life. Ellen studie d to be a nurse at the University of Minnesota and then got a job in a hospital. For the next few years she stayed at the hospitalbut also took flying lessons and got her pilot’s license.Ellen was twenty-five years old when she first got in touch with Boeing Air Transport. She loved flying but she understood that airlines were a man’s world. Although women like Emelia Earheart were becoming famous, she realized it was impossible for a woman to have a career as a pilot .But she had another idea. Most people were frightened of flying because. flying was still an unr eliable(不可靠的) way to travel. There were often delays(延误),many crashes and the bad weathers made many passengers sick. Ellen thought nurses could take care of passengers during flights and B.A.T. agreed.The young woman from Iowa and seven other nurses became the first air stewardesses.At first pilots were unhappy because they did not want stewardesses on airplanes, but passengers loved the stewardesses. In 1940 there were around 1000 of them working for different airlines. The early “stewardesses” had to be under twenty-five-year-old, single and slim. When a woman joined an airline, she had to promise not to get married or have children. It was hard job and not well paid. They worked longhours and earned ＄1 an hour.In the 1970s, stewardesses were unhappy in their job and airlines had to make some changes. Since the 1970s, “stewardesses” have been called flight attendants. They are well paid and work fewer hours than inthe past.18.( )The last sentence of the first paragraph suggests that _________.A. the word “stewardess” was ma de up by Ellen ChurchB. Ellen Church was the first woman who flew a planeC. Ellen Church was the first woman who worked on a planeD. Ellen Church was the first woman passenger on a plane19.( )From the second paragraph, we learn that ________.A. Ellen did not behave in the same way as most as other girlsB. Ellen’s family was not rich enough to support her educationC. Ellen was fond of working as a nurse in the hospitalD. Ellen has an unhappy childhood that changed her completely20.( )The main reason for Boeing Air Transport offering Ellen the job was ________.A. her flying experienceB. her univer sity educationC. her nursing experienceD. her life attitudes21.( )According to the passage, in the 1940s a woman had to ________ if she wanted to be a stewardess.A. be a nurseB. be marriedC. be a motherD. be young22.( )The passage mainly talks about _______.A. the background of early flying pilotsB. the experience of flying passengersC. the history of early flight attendantsD. the development of airplanesB26.00(up to 16 years of age)3.When does the coach leave Windermere if you choose Tour B?A. 09.45 hrsB. 17.00 hrsC. 12.00 hrsD. 16.30 hrsC“My dear lady,” says Holmes. “You’re shivering.

But Iknow many things about you. For example, I know how you travel. You came toLondon by train. You also ride to the train station on a horse-drawn wagon(马车).”“Why, yes. You’re right. But how do you know these things?”“ I see a return ticket in your glove. I see fresh mud on the left arm of your dress. Now tell us yourproblem.”“My name is Helen Stoner,” she states, “ My mother and father are dead. I am living with my stepfather, Dr Grimesby Roylott. He comes from a rich family. But they are no longer rich. They have nothing except a small piece of land and a huge old house. We are living in the house. Dr Roylott is using my mother’s money for expenses(开支). Part of it was for my sister and me. It was for our marriages.”Holmes is sitting in his chair. His eyes are closed. He is listen ing carefully to Helen’s story. He hearsevery detail.Helen continues. “My stepfather has no friends. He fights with everyone. He is strong and gets angryquickly. Everyone is afraid of him.”“He has no friends at all?” asks Holmes.“No. He talks to no one except the gypsies. They are poor people who travel from place to place.

That is not success.”“How about being able to provide for your family?” A blonde girl named Sandy in the front suggestedas an answer.“Now we’re getting closer,” Mr Gruber smiled, “but try thinking about what you need and what youwant.”“Getting everything you want.” Tom shouted out an answer again, trying for more laughs.Mr Gruber sighed. “ I believe we’ve already talked about excess versus(与…比较) success.”“Getting everything you need, but some of what you want?” James, sitting in the back wondered aloud.“Quite right!” Mr Gruber clapped. “Success is getting everyt hing you need and some of what you want. The more you get that you want, the more successful you are. You do reach a point where you are living inexcess, though.”“What does this have to do with business?” Tom asked. It seemed if it wasn’t funny, he wasn’t happy.“Well, Tom, think of it this way: the point of business is to make a living to support your family. Once you have properly seen to (确保) their needs, you can then see to getting the extras that you want.”“What if I don’t have a family?” he continu ed to be difficult.“Then you have to provide for yourself, a family of one.”“He has goldfish to think about!” Peter, Tom’s friend, shouted out.“Then he needs to provide for a family of one with a fishbowl.” Mr. Gruber corrected himself.Tom nodded, satisfied with that answer.“So in the next nine weeks, we’re going to study basic business situations, like having a checkingaccount and understanding credit cards.”Tom rubbed his hands together excitedly. “When do we get to start spending?”“You already are, Tom.

You are driving along a desert or on a mountain.You have no idea where you are. You passed the last house two hours ago.Then your car breaks down. It is night and it is cold. You have no mobilephone. What do you do? Well, next time take a GPS with you. This inventionmay be able to help you. It is a device(装置) which uses satellites (卫星) tofind the user’s position(位置). It can find your position to within 20 metres. A GPS cannot start yourcar, but at least you will know where you are.GPS, which means Global Positioning System, is a small radio receiver. It looks like a mobile phone. You can hold it in your hand, or put in your pocket. It is sometimes put into a watch or atelephone. We also find GPS devices in cars, planes, or boats. Some of these devices have electronic maps, so you know where you are. For example, in a city they can tell you the name of the street.There are three parts to the Global Positioning System. The first part is the receiver. You can hold it in your hand, or have it fixed into your car, plane, etc. The second part is a group of satellites orbiting the Earth. The receiver contacts at least four of the satellites and calculates(计算) its position. The third part of the system is a network of ground stations. They are all over the world. They control thesatellites and make sure they are working well.Some people think that in the future the GPS will be as common as the mobile. They are becoming cheaper and more and more accurate(精确的). There are also new uses for the GPS. Perhaps they will become like watches.Everyone will have one and you will never be lost again.13.According to the passage, with the help of the GPS, people __________.（2）can’t be lost in a new city（3）can’t find their way in different countries（4）can learn about the culture of an unknown place（5）can spend the least time getting to another place14.We can learn from the passage that ____________.A.t here are three parts to the GPSB.a GPS can’t b e put into a watchC.a GPS can help you start your carD.t he GPS are becoming more and more expensive15.The underlined word “They” in paragraph 3 means “____________”.A.

2013中考英语试题及答案各位读友大家好，此文档由网络收集而来，欢迎您下载，谢谢2013中考英语试题及答案2013年中考英语精品复习资料阅读理解篇（二）议论文（6）A famous study was done in a school by a professor(教授) from a university．At the start of the school year，the teachers were given the names of five children．They were told that these five were the most excellent students in the class．But the fact was that these students were only average(中等)，and they were not the best students at all．Well，guess what? At the end of the year，all the five average students scored among the highest in the class．What made these average students change so much to become top students? The only difference was the change in their teachers’attitude(态度)．Because the teachers believed that these five kids were the top students，they expected(期望) more from them．And so these five average students began to believe and expect more from themselves．So they worked harder to do as well as they could．Do you know? If you expect the best from people，they’ll usually want to give you their best．A great leader said，“Treat(对待) a person just how he appears to be on the outside，and you’ll make him even worse．But treat a person like he’s already a success，and you’ll help make him the best he can be．”Like the true story of 7-year-old Johnny，his teacher got so angry with him that one day she said，“Johnny，you’re the naug htiest(最顽皮的) boy in this class．I’m sure you’ll never change．”The next year Johnny had a new teacher．And on the first day of class，she met with Johnny after school and said，“Jo hnny，I’ve heard a lot about you! But do you know that I don’t believe a word of it．”And everyday after that，this new teacher treated Johnny as if he was one of the smartest students even when Johnny did naughty things．Later on，Johnny became a school leader．Because that’s the power of our belief(信任) and attitude toward children．根据短文内容，选择正确答案。

How important is music? When they are asked this question, students and parents usually answer that music is nice, but not very important. It is often considered only as entertainment, but not the first choice for education. This opinion is shortsighted (短视的). In fact, music education is necessary and important for all students.Music tells us who we are. Music reflects (反映) the creators’ thinking and values, as well as the social environment it came from. For example, just as Mozart music represents a lifestyle, rock music (摇滚乐) represents a lifestyle, too. The jazz(爵士乐) influence that George Gershwin and other musicians introduced into their music is obviously American because it came form American musical traditions.Music provides a kind of ability to know the world in a different way. Science explains how the sun rises and sets. Music explores the emotive(情感的) meanings. We need every possible way to discover and respond (回应) to our world because no one way can get it all.Music is a form of thought, as powerful as science. It is a way we human beings “talk” to each other. Through the language we express our feelings, our discoveries, our ideas, our imagination and our hopes so that they can be shared with others. When we do not let our children receive good music education, we take away from them the meanings that music expresses. Science does not tell us what it means to be human. Music does.So music education is much more necessary than people generally realize.【主旨大意】本文从各个方面说明了音乐教育对人的重要意义。

School is the best place to start．I think if you speak and write only English in school，you will learn it quicker and be able to speak it very well in a short time．Chemway Corley：I think all kids should speak only English in school．If you are living in the U.

K. ，young people have the right to vote at the age of eighteen．With this right also comes duty．For young people to use their right to vote wisely，they must have an understanding of the needs of society，and they must also learn how politics(政治观点) work．Not everyone would agree that it is a good idea to give all of these rights to people when they are too young．The question is，how young is too young?64．An adult has the right to do certain things．Please give an example．65．At what age can one get a driver’s licence in England?66．In which countries do young people have the right to vote at the age of eighteen?67．Does everyone agree to give all the rights to people when they are too young?（19）Have you ever stayed in a hotel? Most Chinese hotels often provide people with things like disposable (一次性的) toothbrushes，toothpaste，shampoo and so on．Many people like the idea because they don’t have to bring their own．But，if you travel to Beijing，remember to bring your own things．Starting from June，some hotels in Beijing no longer provide people with these disposables．They want to ask people to use fewer disposable things．Many disposable things are made of plastic(塑料)．People throw them away after only using them once．It is a waste of natural resources(资源) and is very bad for the environment．Do youknow．one Chinese person makes as much as 400kg of waste a year! Most of that waste comes from disposable things．In Beijing，people throw away about 19000000 kg of plastic bags and 1320000 kg of plastic lunch bowls every year! Plastic can take between 100 and 400 years to break down(腐烂)．So the less plastic we throw out，the better．Wherever you travel，bring your own things and use them again and again．根据短文内容，填空或回答问题。

Michtom called it “Teddy’s Bear”.Many of these bears were sold. The bears became so popular that Mr . Michtom thought he might need President Roosevelt' permission to use his name. He wrote to the president and sent him a “Teddy Bear”. The president answered，saying that Mr. Michtom could use his name.Mr . Michtom borrowed money so that he could make thousands of toy bears.

The addictive substance(物质）in cigarettes is nicotine(尼古丁). When people smoke, the nicotine goes right into the blood stream and makes people feel comfortable. A smoker's body gets used to the nicotine, and if he stops smoking, he feels nervous. Many smokers try to stop smoking but because of the addiction to nicotine they feel so uncomfortable that they often find it too difficult to do so .Another reason is that people simply enjoy smoking. Having a cigarette for many people means taking a break. For some people smoking becomes part of certain social rituals (礼仪), for example, sending the cigarette after dinner. Many people enjoy smoking because it gives them something to do with their hands. Reaching for a cigarette, lighting it and flicking (弹掉) the ashes are special comfort in a situation where they feel nervous.Many people also like the taste of tar (焦油) in cigarettes. However, it is the tar that causes cancer. While governments and health experts have tried to get people to give up smoking completely, cigarette manufacturers (生产商) have tried to keepselling them by producing cigarettes with less tar. Many people in western countries have welcomed these cigarettes since they found it hard to stop smoking and wanted to reduce the danger to their health.62.

Many people in western countries welcome the cigarettes with more tar.3. 2013年南京市“What is success?” Mr Gruber asked his 6th grade businessclass.

That is not success.”“How about being able to provide for your family?” A blonde girl named Sandy in the front suggested as an answer.“ Now we’re getting closer,” Mr Gruber smiled, “but try thinking about what you need and wh at you want.”“Getting everything you want.” Tom shouted out an answer again, trying for more laughs.Mr Gruber sighed. “ I believe we’ve already talked about excess versus(与…比较) success.”“Getting everything you need, but some of what you want?” James, sitting in the back wondered aloud.“Quite right!” Mr Gruber clapped. “Success is getting everything you need and some of what you want. The more you get that you want, the more successful you are. You do reach a point where you are living in excess, though.”“What does this have to do with business?” Tom asked. It seemed if it wasn’t funny, he wasn’t happy.“Well, Tom, think of it this way: the point of business is to make a living to support your family. Once you have properly seen to (确保) their needs, you can then see to getting the extras that you want.”“What if I don’t have a family?” he continued to be difficult.“Then you have to provide for yourself, a family of one.”“He has goldfish to think about!” Peter, Tom’s friend, shouted out.“Then he needs to provide for a family of one with a fishbowl.” Mr. Gruber corrected himself.Tom nodded, satisfied with that answer.“So in the next nine weeks, we’re going to study basic business situations, like having a checking account and understanding credit cards.”Tom rubbed his hands together excitedly. “When do we get to start spending?”“You already are, Tom.

For example, a person who is very good at math can go to a famous college but also can be a good football player .This experience made me think again that I must try to find where my own interests might lead me. To be honest, it was not easy . However, I never felt sorry to choose this way because it helped me understand myself. If I took the College EntranceExamination, as we call it gaokao in China , it could never possibly do .When I entered high school, I took gaokao seriously because it seemed to me a great way to show how good at my lessons. However ,as I grew older , I realized gaokao did make me work hard at my lessons , but the pressure also pushed many other activities out of my life , like guitar―playing . Although I had no time for it , I will still get to it in the future .No doubt, gaokao provides a way of choosing those who are successful in their studies. But it is really important for all of us to rethink what “talent” really is today . This is because we now live in a world in which all of our other human qualities (品质）are needed for success , not just the high grade .Ken Robinson once said, “th e society depends on different kinds of talents.” However, gaokao pays too attention to a person’s grades but little to his other qualities. And it is these qualities that makes life colorful and fun .As high school students, we can not change the present situation of education, but we are always free to think outside of the box. Although good school grade is still useful, I hope one day we will see our education also welcomes the amazing possibilities in different people .57. The US College pay special attention to ________.A. students ' family background.B. the different achievementC. students ' ideas about way of life.D. the school a student is from.58. When at high school, the writer ________.A. had a lot of activities .B. did not work hard at her lessons.C. did well in gaokaoD. had no time to play the guitar.59. From the passage, we know that the writer may ________.A. go to college in America .B. give up the US college interview .C. become a good football player in the US.D. change the present situation of education .60. Which of the following might be the best title for the passage?A. My school life abroad.B. Different exams in the US.C My view on gaokao D. The importance of school grades6. 2013年山东省聊城市To write a great news story , you have to make sure it is correct , relevant (相关的) and fresh..For a start, all the information in a story must be correct. Not only the spelling and grammar, but also the facts.Any mistakes that appear (出现）in a story can get a newspaper into big trouble.For example, if a newspaper said that Yang Liwei was the first man to go into space, it would be wrong. He wasn't the first. The newspaper would probably lose lots of readers because of that mistake.A news story is not only correct ，but also relevant to its readers . People are mostly interested in news that happens near to them . That is why you care more about what happens at your school that at American schools. It is also why newspapers in Beijing don 't talk about much news in Shanghai or Hong Kong.Finally, news must always be fresh . When you pick up your evening newspaper, you want to read about news that happens that day. You don't want to read about news from last week !So, now you know what makes a good news story .

Try laughing for no reason at all. That’s how millions of people start their day at Laughter(笑声) Clubs around the world and many doctors now think that having a good laugh might be one of the best ways to stay healthy.The first Laughter Club was started in Mumbai, India, in 1995 by Dr. Madan Kataria. “Young children laugh about 300 times a day. Adults laugh between 7 and 15 times a day,” says Dr. Kataria. “Everyone is naturally good at laughing —it’s the common language. We want people to feel happy with their lives.” The re are now more than 500 Laughter Clubs in India and over 1,300 in the world.Many doctors are also interested in the effects(效果) of laughter on our health. According to a 5-year study at the UCLA School of Medicine in California, with laughing there is less stress in the body. Laughter improves our health against illness by about 40%.So what happens at a Laughter Club? I went along to my nearest club in South London to find out. I was quite nervous at the beginning of the class, to be honest, I wasn’t int erested in laughing with a group of strangers, and I was worried about looking silly. Our laughter teacher told us to clap our hands and say “ho ho ho, ha ha ha” while looking at each other. However, our bodies can’t tell the difference between real laught er and unreal laughter, so they still produce the same healthy effects.Surprisingly, it works! After ten minutes everybody in the room was laughing for real and some people just couldn’t stop! At the end of the class I was surprised by how relaxed and com fortable I felt. So if you’re under stress, then start laughing. You might be very pleased with the results.61. The first Laughter Club was started in __________.A. IndiaB. AmericaC. BritainD. China62.

Some of these belong to a special class of plants called fungi.Fungi may appear almost everywhere. ①They commonlygrow in wet places where they can get food and water easily. Because fungi do not have green leaves to make their own food, fungi must take their food from animals, other plants or water. Some fungi live on dead or rotting wood, while others grow on living trees or in dirt or moss(苔藓). Mushrooms(蘑菇) are the best-known fungi.②There are many kinds of mushrooms appearing in all shapes and sizes. For example, cauliflower mushrooms are found in forests from July to October. They can grow to be as heavy as fifty pounds! They grow at the foot of trees. Squirrel’s bread(松茸) is another kind of wild mushroom. Its appearance and use can explain its name. These fungi look like small golden cakes. Squirrels can easily eat them or carry them off to their hole to eat later.③食品店里的蘑菇是人们精心种植的，可安全食用。

2013年中考英语精品复习资料阅读理解篇（九）记叙文（41）Scientists have discovered the world’s funniest joke! Dr. Wiseman，from Oxford University in Britain，created a website with jokes on it．He then asked people to rate(定级) the jokes from 1(“not very funny”) to 5(“very funny”)．People could also tell their own jokes．At the end of one year，Wiseman had two million ratings and 40 000 jokes from around the world．Why study jokes? Dr. Wiseman thinks humor can tell us a lot about people．In Wiseman’s experiment(实验)，people from different countries did think different jokes were funny．For example，Europeans rated jokes about serious topics like death “very funny”．North Americans laughed most at jokes that made fun of people．So，what was the world’s funniest joke?Two men are hunting(打猎)．Suddenly，one man falls down and isn’t moving．The other man calls for help on his mobile phone．“Help!”the man s ays，“I think my friend is dead!”“I can help you，”says the woman on the phone．“First，are you sure your friend is dead?”It’s quiet for a minute．Then the woman hears a gunshot(枪声)．The man returns to the phone．“Yes，he’s dead．Now what?”In Dr. Wiseman’s experiment，people from a number of countries，old and young，men and women，all thought this joke was very funny．What about you?77．How did Dr．Wiseman find the funniest joke in the world?A．He asked different scientists for their ideas．B．He asked people to rate jokes on the website．C．He asked his students about their favorite jokes．D．He searched the Internet and chose it by himself．78．What kind of jokes made Europeans laugh most?A．Jokes about hunting．B．Jokes about people．C．Jokes about telephoning．D．Jokes about death．79．Which of the following can best describe the man calling for help in the joke?A．He is foolish．B．He is confident．C．He is clever．D．He is dishonest．80．What can we learn from the passage?A．The woman told the man to kill his friend．B．Dr．Wis eman wasn’t interested in Asian jokes．C．All the people in the world liked jokes about death．D．Dr．Wiseman studied jokes to know about people．（42）These days，a new kind of restaurant is becoming popular．People who go there can not only enjoy their meals，they can also enjoy playing computer games and have fun with their family and friends on the internet．uWink is the restaur ant’s name．It is in Los Angeles，and it’s about fun and food．In uWink，there are no waiters or waitresses around you．The screens have replaced(取代) them．You can order the food you want by touching the screen in front of you and runners will bring it to the tables．You can also play video games with the people at the next table．The screens can show music videos，movies and so on．But mainly they are used to show video games．It’s an interactive(互动的) restaurant where you will control your meal and your fun．The service is fast and the runners know clearly where to go．There will be no waiting for a waiter，and no misunderstandings(误解) in the kitchen．Different kinds of food are served at any time of day．uWink is a place which hosts“room games”，where every table in the restaurant can have a video game competition at the same time．The owner of the restaurant hopes that uWink can make it easy for people to be interactive，have fun and enjoy a delicious meal．81．Where is the restaurant-uWink?82．How can you order the food in uWink?83．When is the food served in uWink?84．Why is the service fast in uWink?85．What do you like doing best in uWink? Why?（43）Many years ago，an earthquake happened suddenly．A lot of buildings collapsed (倒塌)．It killed over 100000 people in a few minutes．Shortly after the earthquake，a father rushed to the school where his son studied only to find the building had fallen down．He remembered his promise to his son，“No matter what happens，I’ll always be there for you!”The tearful father began to dig to look for his son．Some parents felt hopeless and tried to pull him off．But he asked，“Are you going to help me now?”And then he kept on digging．The firemen came．They tried to pull him offand said，“Danger! Leave here!”But the father，who loved his son deeply，asked，“Are you going to help me now?”The police came up and said，“It’s over．Leave here! We’ll do it!”Still he asked again and again，“Are you going to help me now?”He went on alone because he needed to know．“Is my boy alive or is he dead?”He dug for 8 hours... 12 hours... 24 hours... 36 hours... then，in the 38th hour，he pulled back a large stone and heard his son’s voice．He cried，“Tom!”He heard back，“Dad!? It’s me，Dad! I told the other kids you’d save me．I believed you would keep your promise．”“Get out，boy!”“No，Dad! Let the other kids out first，because I know you’ll get me out! No matter what happens，I know you’ll always be there for me!”根据短文内容，判断下列句子正(T)误(F)。

20篇最新2013年中考英语阅读理解材料（最有可能考的）★★★★★（星火英语命题组出品）第一组：(4篇)AThe house in the futureWhat will the house of the future look like? Could it havegardens on its walls, or a pool with fish for dinner? Architects﹡believe that they are all possibilities. The only thing for sureis that the houses will be as green as possible.The tree houseMany architects in the world would like to build a “treehouse.” Like a leaf, the surface of the house collects sunlightduring the day. The energy can be used to heat water, produce electricity, and even create fresh air for the home. The “root” of the house is deep under the ground. It uses the soil﹡to the tem- perature at home.The Lizard houseLike a lizard﹡, changing color with the weather is the most important design of a lizard house. When it’s in the bright sun, the cover of the house will turn dark to protect it from strong heat. During dark days, it turns white and takes in as much light and heat as possible to produce energy.Meals at homeThis design is perhaps as much about the future of food production. It has gardens on the outside wall of the house. People can plant tomatoes, carrots and green tea on them. So every day in the morning, you just need to walk outside and collect your meals.Learning from the pastLooking to the future isn’t the only way to be green. Sometimes, ancient techniques﹡can also help cut down energy use. For example, a chimney﹡can be a useful air conditioner because it is easier of hot air to flow out at the chimney.( ) 1. How many kinds of houses of the future are mentioned in the passage?A. Three.B. Four.C. Five.D. Six.( ) 2. ____________ is designed like an old one.A. The tree houseB. The lizard houseC. The house with foodD. The house with a chimney( ) 3. Which is TRUE according to the passage?A. The passage is about old houses.B. The surface of a green house can collect the sunlight which can be used as energy to heatwater.C. The lizard house can change color to protect itself from enemies.D. You just need to collect food you like in the house because the house can produce the food.BSince I was a foreign teacher in China, every day I taught English to my students and they taught me about China. One day the topic turned to saying “I love you”. I was shocked to learnthat not one of my students had said this to their mothers, nor had their mothers said it to them. “Does your mom love you?” “Of course,” they answered.“How do you now?” was my logical question. They responded that their moms cooked and always told them what they were doing wrong to show their caring. I was greatly surprised .So mom’s cooking and critic i zing read out as “I love you”. “Then how do you say ‘I love you’ to her?” They agreed that getting good grades, followed by god jobs would be how they showed their love.I come from a culture where most people are expressive enough, so I repeated these questions in classes over time. Gradually, I began to get different response. Some of them had exchanged those sentiments* with their moms.One of my favorite stories of change came from a girl. When she came home from university, her mother met her at the door and hugged her. This had never happened before, but her mom said, “Now that you have gone I have more time to myself. I noticed that in some places mothers and children hug each other and I decided it was a good idea and that I would begin hugging you.”In my family we all say “I love you” a lot .While it is true that we often say the words without having great depth of feelings at that moment, it is almost like a blessing* we give each other. Those three little words carry a world of meaning, even when said as a greeting, but most especially if they are the last words we say to or hear from those we love.4. The foreign teacher ________.A. likes to say “I love you” to greetB. learns Chinese in the schoolC. is expressive enoughD. knows much about China5. Chinese people prefer to show love by ________.A. saying “I love you”B. cookingC. getting good gradesD. doing something helpful6. In paragraph 4, what’s the real meaning of the mom’s hugging?A. She is meeting her daughter at the door.B. She loves her daughter and misses her.C. She is glad that she has more time to herself.D. She finds it interesting to hug her daughter.7. What’s the main idea of the passage?A. Say “I love you” more to your family.B. Say “I love you” a lot to Chinese people.C. Say “I love you” as a greeting to others.D. Say “I love you” without great depth of feelings.CLondon OlympicsThe 2012 Olympic Games will take place in London.This summer, Chinese sports fans will be able to watchthe exciting games in 3-D on CCTV. When you watch3-D movies or TV, you have to wear a special pair ofglasses. The 3-D glasses make the images from the screen look like they are there in the room with you.Three-dimensional, or 3-D, means having three dimensions*: width, height and depth. 3-D technology is based on the way the human brain and eyes work. Because the pupils of a person’s eyes are about 6.5cm apart, when we look at something, each eye sees it from a different angle*. Our eyes send the two images to our brain, and the brain puts them together. The small difference between the image from the right eye and the image from the left eye allows us to see depth.When we view media such as pictures and television in two dimensions, each eye gets the same information. That is because the image has no real depth, and there is only one way of viewing it. So the goal of 3-D technology is to get a different image into each eye of the viewer. It uses two film projectors. One projects a left eye image and the other projects a right eye image. The 3-D glasses allow us to see a different image in each eye.While watching 3-D films, we feel that we are actually in the same environment as the things w e’re watching. However, it also has its disadvantages. The 3-D glasses work by controlling the amount of light that reaches the eyes. It makes the screen look darker. What’s more, people with eye problems may get headaches if they spend too much time watching 3-D movies, because their brains need to work harder to “read” the images.8. Acoording to the passage, we can see 3-D TV with the help of ________.A. the exciting gamesB. the special glassesC. the dark screenD. the images in the room9. The second paragraph mainly tells us _____.A. how we see things in 3-DB. how 3-D films are madeC. what the human brain does for our eyesD. how different images get into the brain10. The underlined word “pupils” in the passage means “_______” in Chinese.A. 学生B. 视线C. 睫毛D. 瞳孔11. Which of the following is TRUE?A. 3-D glasses help people get the same image in each eye.B. 3-D glasses make the screen look brighter.C. A 3-D film needs two film projectors to be made.D. People with eye problems can’t see 3-D films.DA company, Guizhentang, has had to face a storm of criticism.The company is in the bear bile* business. They have bear farms inwhich bile is taken out and used in traditional Chinese medicine andfor other purposes.Bile is a liquid that is produced in the liver and stored in the gallbladder. In bears (and in humans too), bile is necessary to help digestfatty foods. Traditional Chinese medicine uses bear bile to treat pain,fever and vision problems. Bile for traditional Chinese medicine used to be collected by killing bears, but it was discovered that bear bile could be got by keeping the bears alive and just “milking” them by putting a ru bber tube* into the bodies of bears. Unfortunately, this is a painful process and the bears have to live a life of suffering*.Animal rights groups want this practice to stop. They say it is a cruel way to treat animals. Guizhentang disagrees. They say the practice isn’t harmful and that they are actually helping the bears. There are fewer Chinese black bears, from which the bile is taken, because human activityis destroying the forest the bears live in. The company says bear farms are a way to protect the species. On the one hand, we use many types of animals for food, clothing, medicine and for medical research. On the other hand, we should know that causing animals great pain is wrong.There are man-made substitutes* for bear bile that work just as well as the real thing, so bear farms aren’t really necessary. If Guizhentang really wants to protect the black bear, they should perhaps think about getting out of the bear bile business.12. Guizhentang has been criticized because ________.A. it kills a lot of black bearsB. it makes traditional Chinese medicineC. it is in the bear bile businessD. it has a lot of farms to keep bears13. What can we learn about bear bile from the passage?① It is produced in the gall bladder.② It helps digest foods having a lot of fat.③It can cure a person’s eye problems.④It’s now got mainly by killing bearsA. ①②B. ②③C. ③④D. ①④14. According to the passage, which of the following is NOT true?A. A tube in the bodies of bears can make them die.B. Animal rights groups are against getting the bile out of bears.C. Guizhentang thinks bear farms are a way to protect bears.D. Some medical research needs bear bile.15. The purpose of the passage is to ________.A. tell bear Bile is very important for our healthB. suggest traditional Chinese medicine isn’t popularC. show Guizhentang does no harm to bearsD. call on us to protect the black bears in danger答案：1-3 BCB 4-7 CDAA 8- 11BADC 12-15 CBAD第二组(4篇)阅读下面短文，从各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
