Passage 1(2017 江西)“Color, color, color!” are the words of artist Eric Carle. Eric is like the king in the world of children’s books. He has written over 70 children’s books. His most famous book, The Very Hungry Caterpillar, is common on children’s bookshelves all over the world. What most people don’t know is that Eric also makes art for adults, which is called “ArtArt”. People didn’t know about it, because he didn’t show it to the public until he was 84 years old!Like Eric’s children’s books, his “ArtArt” is full of bright and clear color. He says that he loves color so much because he missed it during the war in Germany. Eric was born in New York in 1929, but moved to Germany with his family when he was 6. When he was 10, World War II began. He noticed that all the houses and buildings in his town were painted grey, brown or dark green, It was a sad time, and it seemed like there was no color anywhere.At the end of the war, “When color came back,” Eric explains, “I just loved it so much. I keep saying that I wish our eyes could see more color. Color is a very important part of my work.’’That’s true. Eric paints bright colors on paper, cuts out shapes, and then glues them onto another piece of paper. This method is called collage. In fact, it is what led Eric to his “ArtArt”.Eric’s “ArtArt” includes large collages as well as paintings, photographs and even costumes. In all these works, he uses all kinds of colors—everything from purple to light green to orange. Now that’s a lot of color!()1. When did Eric show “ArtArt” to the public?A. In 1929.B. In 1993.C.

When he was a small boy, Tim was interested in playing with electrical things. He studied science at Oxford University. He made his first computer from an old television at the age of 21.Tim started working on early computers. At that time, they were much bigger than now. He worked in England then Switzerland. Tim was really interested in two things, computers and how the brain works. How could the brain connect so many facts so quickly? He had to work with people all over the world. They shared information about computers. It was hard to manage all the information. He answered the same questions again and again. It took a lot of time. It was even difficult for computers in the same office in Switzerland to share information. Tim also forgot things easily. Could a computer work like a brain? Could it “talk” to other computers?There was an Internet already but it was difficult to use. In 1989, Tim Berners-Lee invented the World Wide Web(WWW)all by himself. This had a special language that helped computers talk to each other on the Internet. When people wanted to share information with others, they used the World Wide Web. The Internet grew quickly after that.Tim Berners-Lee doesn’t think he did anything special. He says that all of the ideas about the Internet were already there. All he did was to put them together. He says that many other people worked together to make the Internet what it is today.Most inventors want to become rich, but Tim gave away the World Wide Web for nothing. He now works in America.

When Theodore Roosevelt(罗斯福)was only nine, he and two of his cousins opened “the Roosevelt Museum of Natural History.” The museum was in Theodore’s bedroom. It had a total of 12 specimens(标本). On display were a few seashells, some dead insects and some birds’ nests. Young Roosevelt took great pride in his small museum.Born in New York in 1858, Theodore Roosevelt was not always healthy. “I was a sickly, delicate boy,” he once wrote. Roosevelt had a health condition called asthma(哮喘). He often found it hard to breathe. Instead of playing, he observed(观察)nature and then read and wrote about it.Roosevelt’s interest in nature sometimes got him into trouble. Once, his mother found several dead mice in the icebox. She ordered him to throw them out. This was indeed a loss to science, Roosevelt said later.Because Roosevelt was often sickly as a boy, his body was small and weak. When he was about 12, his father urged him to improve his body. Roosevelt began working out in a gym. He didn’t become strong quickly. But he did decide to face life’s challenges with a strong spirit. That determination stayed with Roosevelt his whole life. And finally his body did get strong.

Especially girls were not allowed to go to school.Reporters from Britain told the world what was happening with the help of Malala. In 2009, 12-year-old Malala wrote 35 diaries on the Internet. She wrote about the difficulties of her life, and about her strong hope for education.Soon after that, Malala’s family was chosen to be in a TV program to show ordinary children’s education because both father and daughter spoke good English, and they cared about children getting an education.From then on, a few people hated her and hurt her.

Scientists believe people began to travel the Silk Road about 3000 years ago. By the time the Chinese silk trade became important in the world, the Silk Road covered almost 6500 kilometers. It went from Rome to China, which was from the West to the Far East.Merchants travelled along the Silk Road to carry silk, of course. They also carried and traded other things like spices(香料), cloth, jewels and gold.Along and around these ancient paths(小路), have come many fascinating and mysterious stories.It is said that Roman soldiers who lost a war travelled through central Asia. They decided to live somewhere near the ancient Chinese villages. Some of these Romans married local Chinese women and the legend of the blond-haired, blue-eyed tribes of China was started.Some historians believe that the people of Kashmir were taken away from their country Israel. They were prisoners(俘虏)of war almost 2800 years ago. People say that these people travelled along the Silk Road. They kept their Jewish way of life for a long time.During its busiest period, the Silk Road allowed people from many different cultures and countries to meet each other and mix. The Silk Road allowed the sharing of valuable things and new ideas. It included people and trading goods from different areas. All these peoples travelled the Silk Road, and they shared goods, stories, languages, and cultures.In modern times, the old Silk Road routes(路线)are still used, but now they are crossed by trains instead of camels and horses.

Trade for SilkD. The West and the Far EastPassage 9(2017 河南)The idea that red means stop and green means go has influenced our lives in more ways than just traffic signals(信号). We have been taught from a young age that the color red means danger and green means it’s okay to move forward. But why were those colors chosen for traffic lights in the first place? For something we have to look at every day, why couldn’t they have been prettier colors?Well, it’s important to know that before traffic lights for cars, there were traffic signals for trains. At first, railway companies used red to mean stop, white to mean go, and green to mean warn. As you could imagine, trains ran into a few problems with white meaning go. For example, one train mistook a bright star for a white light and something unexpected happened. Because of that, railway companies finally moved green meaning go and used yellow to mean warn. And it’s been that way ever since.Red has always been a color that meant danger, long before cars were even around. This most likely started because of the color with the longest wavelength(波长)so it can be seen somewhere farther than other colors.But, believe it or not, yellow was once used to mean stop. Back in the 1900s, some stop signs were yellow because it was too hard to see a red sign in a poorly lit area. Finally, highly reflective materials(高反射材料)were developed and red stop signs were born. Since yellow can be seen well at all times of the day, school zones, some traffic signs, and school buses continue to be painted yellow.So next time you’re impatiently waiting at a traffic light, don’t get so mad at them; they’ve certainly come a long way.()1. What were traffic signals for before traffic lights for cars?A. Trains.B. Boats.C. Planes.D. Bicycles.()2. Which of the following colors meant go at first?A. Red.B. Yellow.C. White.D. Green.()3. Why does red mean danger?A. Because it’s the brightest color,B. Because it can be seen far away.C. Because railway companies say so.D. Because it has the shortest wavelength.()4. Why are school buses painted yellow?A. Because yellow is a prettier color.B. Because yellow once meant danger.C. Because yellow can be seen well in daytime.D. Because yellow means it’s OK to go forward. ()5. What does the text mainly tell us?A. How important traffic lights are.B. Which color has the longest wavelength.C. What red, yellow and green can be used for.D. Why traffic lights are red, yellow and green.Passage 10(2017 广东)People often think of the North Pole(北极)and the South Pole as similar frozen(冰冻的)wastelands. They are both places with very cold temperatures and few people live there. However, the North and South Poles are not much alike as people may imagine.The North Pole has no land, only thick ice. Temperatures seldom go above 32°F, at which water turns into ice. Most of the time, it stays below zero. In winter temperatures are usually as low as -30°F.Although conditions were very poor, people tried for many centuries to reach the North Pole. About 100 years ago, two men, Robert Peary and Mathew Henson, were able to get to this environment full of troubles and difficulties. They reached the North Pole on March 8th, 1909. It was really a hard trip for them.There are few things more dangerous than crossing the Arctic(北极圈)on foot. People who stayed there may face many problems: very cold temperatures, sudden storms, and even hunger. Most of the area is uninhabited. Few people can live in such a difficult place.People might think that with such low temperatures for most of the year, the ice would be thick and hard.However, this is not true in the Arctic. The movement of the ocean water under the ice may often cause many different changes on the surface. Sometimes the ice breaks into two opening lanes of water(水道)called “leads”. Anyone who falls into a lead can be frozen to death in a few minutes.()1. This passage is probably from___________.A. a book reviewB. a science bookC. a school reportD. a computer magazine()2.

The reason for the ice to break into two opening lanes of water is___________.A. that the temperature suddenly dropsB. that the water under the ice is frozenC. that the ocean water under the ice movesD. that the surface is covered with lots of ice()5. What does this passage mainly talk about?A. The thick ice in the North Pole.B. A difficult trip to the North Pole.C. The real situation in the North Pole.D. The differences between the North Pole and the South Pole.Passage 11(2017 福建)No one knows when the first kite was made. The first record of a kite was more than 2,000 years ago in China. Han Xin, the leader of an army, wanted to bring down a king. He decided to dig a tunnel(隧道)into the king’s palace. He flew a kite over the wall of the palace to make sure the length(长度)of its string(线). In this way, he could determine how long the tunnel should be. His men in the tunnel took the kite string with them. When they reached the end of the string, they knew to dig up.Kites have been flown in Japan for hundreds of years. In the 1700s, kites were flown in autumn to give thanks for a good harvest. They were also flown to send good wishes to couples who had their first son. Today in Japan, kites are often flown as part of a celebration, such as the beginning of a new year. And kite festivals are held each year in many parts of the country.Kites have been used for scientific purposes in the western world. In 1752, Benjamin Franklin tied a key to a kite and flew it in a storm to find out that lightening was a form of electricity. In the 1890s, Lawrence Hargrave invented the box kite to test ideas about flight. From 1898 until 1933, the United States Weather Bureau(气象局)used box kites to collect weather data. The Wright brothers also experimented(试验)with kites. What they learnt helped them make the first airplane flight in 1903.()1. Why did Han Xin want to dig a tunnel?A. To pull down the palace.B.

Passage 1How much do you know about your neighborhood? Can you recognize your neighbors’faces? Teenagers from Live Oak in California, US would say yes. They took photos of their neighbors and put them on city walls.The kids took part in an international photography experiment called the Inside Out Project.

Large prints are then made and sent back to people to show in their communities.In Live Oak, you see big pictures on the walls of an art studio (工作室) and a supermarket.

Buy it on the Internet! Need it now? Why wait? Ask to receive it the next day! Each day, more and more people try on-line shopping. In fact, online sales have doubled in the last ten years. But not everyone is excited. Some scientists now say that online shopping is bad for the environment.People are surprised to hear this." They think, I don't need to drive, and the business doesn't need to build a store, so there will be less pollution," says Nuria Prost, an environmental scientist. "But it is not so simple. In fact, online shopping is wasteful. It also adds to air pollution."In truth, the Internet is not always as good a friend to the environment as it seems. For example, most people thought that the Internet would help offices use less paper and other materials. But paper use increased by33percent between 1986 and 1997."Online shopping could have similarly harmful results," says Nevil Cohen, a researcher of environmental science. Part of the problem is what people are buying these days. In the past, people bought things on the Internet that did not require much packing material, such as books and clothing. But now people also shop online for large, heavy pro ducts such as televisions, computers, chairs and tables. These products need to be packed in lots of plastic and paper. This creates a lot of waste.Another problem caused by online shopping is air pollution. When customers buy products and ask to receive them the next day, online businesses often have to send them by air. Airplanes use much more oil than cars and produce more carbon dioxide（二氧化碳）. When people buy a lot of different things from different online businesses, this creates even more travel by airplane.Online product returns are also a problem. For example, an online shoe store may allow customers to return shoes for free if they are wrong size. This doubles the packing materials and number of airline trips required to sell one pair of shoes."If people want to protect the environment, they need to think before they shop," says Prost. "People need to ask themselves: Is this exactly what I want? Do I really need it tomorrow, or can I wait?" Online stores can also ask customers to pay money for returns. This may make people shop more carefully." Online shopping is fast and easy, "says Prost," but we can't forget the harmful result it has caused to the environment."（1）The passage begins with several questions to .A. introduce the main topicB. describe online shoppingC. show the writer's opinionD. list advantages of shopping（2）What is the passage mainly about?A. The Internet is not good to the environment.B. Online shopping causes more air pollution.C. Online shopping is bad for the environment.D. Stop online shopping to protect the environment.（3）Which of the following is to show that online shopping is wasteful?A. Large products need more packing materials.B. Paper use increased by 33 percent about ten years.C. Businesses need to build a store to sell the products.D. Online shopping costs less than shopping in a store.（4）What is probably the best title of the passage?A. A Good Deal to MakeB. A Different Lifestyle to KeepC. A Cleaner Way to ShopD. A New Business to Start（5）Which of the following shows the structure（结构）of the passage?（P=Paragraph）A.B.C.D.3．阅读理解My 14-year-old son, John, and I saw the coat at the same time in a second-hand clothing store. It stood out among big and old coats. It was so beautiful and had an unbelievable price, $ 28. I looked at my son and we both said nothing, but John's eyes shone. Dark, woolen coats were popular with teenage boys, but new ones could cost several hundred dollars. This coat was even better. John tried it on and turned from side to side, eyeing himself in the mirror. It fit him so well. John wore the coal to school the next clay. After he came home, I asked. "Did the kids like your coat?""They loved it," he said with a big grin.Over the next few weeks, John changed. He was polite, less argumentative, more thoughtful, and much happier. "Good dinner, Mom," he would say every evening. Without a word of complaining, he would carry in wood for the stove. One day when I suggested that he might start on his homework before dinner, John, who always put things off, said, "You're right. I guess I will." When I mentioned this change to one of his teachers, she joked that the coat must have changed him.John and I both know we should never judge a person by his clothes. But it is true that when wearing beautiful and suitable clothes, we may try to be better in thought, speech and behavior to match what is on the inside to what is on the outside.（1）What can we learn from the first paragraph?A. The price of the coat was too high.B. John liked the coat very much.C. They often went shopping together.D. The writer didn't want to buy the coat.（2）What did John use to do when he was asked to study?A. Start at once.B. Put off his homework.C. Work hard on schoolwork.D. Carry in wood for the stove.（3）Which of the following changes did NOT happen to John after he wore the coat?A. He was willing to follow suggestions.B. He often helped to do some housework.C. He always worried about his study.D. He said sweet words to make his mother happy.（4）What does the writer want to say through this passage?A. What we wear could help shape who we are inside.B. Life is full of possibilities when we are young.C. We should not judge people by their appearance.D. It's a good choice to try different things in our lives.4．阅读理解One Thursday afternoon, when I was in Grade 9, a new boy came into my classroom. He was short and thin. He walked up to the teacher and told her, very seriously, that he was new. His name was Christian. He sat down, took a look at me, and then looked away. I didn't think he was very nice and I was sure he wasn't the type I would like to become friends with.During that year, I didn't talk to him much, but he smiled at me when our eyes met, always shyly. He never ate lunch with anybody, and he never talked to anybody but me.But one day I joined those unkind kids who were making fun of him. We made fun of him though I thought it was wrong."Haven't you got any friends?" a kid asked Christian, who had walked past us alone, head down. "No, he hasn't got any friends. He's too stupid and shy," I said. Then Christian looked up at me with the saddest dog eyes I had ever seen. I felt very sorry at that moment.That night, I couldn't sleep because I couldn't get Christian's face out of my mind. In the weeks that followed, he never met my eyes in class and never smiled at me. It was really hard for me to decide to write him a note asking him to forgive （原谅） me. But I thought I should.The next day in class, I wrote him a note telling him how sorry I felt. About five minutes later, I turned and saw tears in his eyes. "You will never realize what your apology （道歉） has meant to me, Jimmy," he said to me. "I hope we can become friends."We had lunch together that noon and we had the best talk I had ever had. Over the years at high school, we were close friends.When I think back, I realize that, if I had not apologized, I would never have known what a lovely person Christian was!Apologies can really change your life, so never miss the chance to tell somebody you are sorry.（1）From the passage, we know Christian was a ________ boy.A. tall and fatB. short and shyC. short and activeD. lovely and fat（2）Jimmy felt ________ after he made fun of Christian with other unkind kids.A. happyB. interestedC. sorryD. bored（3）This passage tells us that ________.A. we should make an apology when we hurt othersB. Jimmy's apology was unimportant to ChristianC. Christian wasn't lovely in factD. it is impossible to say sorry to others5．阅读理解Big data（数据） is lot of sets of information that are put together so they can be used by a computer program. The computer program looks for different kinds of answers or patterns in the data. Big data can have different kinds of information from many sources, such as information that comes from schools, social media sites（社交媒体网站）, companies and governments.One set of data can have people's names and addresses. Another set can have what they like, where they go to school, and how much time they spend on the computer.Big data can be used in many ways. The government uses it to understand how many people travel on buses or trains. This information is then used to make bus or train systems better. Some schools use big data to understand which children may need more help in class. The teacher can then give certain students more help or support so those students can succeed in school. Companies use big data, too. It helps them understand who buys their products. For example, one company uses weather data to see when people eat the most ice cream.Big data can be used for good reasons. Some hospitals use big data to predict if a baby who is born too early will get sick. The hospital can then take extra steps to take care of that baby so he, she does not get sick. Big data can also be used for bad reasons. It can be used to predict which kinds of people are likely to break the law or hurt others, even if they have not done anything wrong.How can big data be used for good and bad things? It is because the computer programs used to look at big data and understand it are written by people. People think a certain way. Because they think a certain way, they build a model of those ideas. These ideas are then used to look at the data. Sometimes, these ideas are helpful for people or businesses. Other times, bad ideas can cause problems for certain groups of people.（1）This reading is about ______.A. what big data is and how it is usedB. what schools and hospitals people likeC. where important data is collected and storedD. how big data is controlled by governments and companies（2）One company uses weather information to ______.A. help children in needB. know when people will visit the hospitalC. find out who tides the bus or trainD. understand when people will need ice cream （3）The main idea of Paragraph 3 is ____.A. big data can be used for good reasonsB. we can use big data in a number of waysC. big data can be used for both good and bad reasonsD. we can use big data to stop babies from getting sick（4）The overall tone （总基调） of this reading is _________.A. sad and personalB. personal and scientificC. informative but sillyD. scientific and informative6．阅读理解I'm sure most people like music.

Perhaps one of the most important differences is that human beings have the ability to think, to make new ideas. Humans can do this because we have a well-developed brain. The brain allows Us to think, to invent an idea, and to remember it.The brain has three main parts. Each part does a different task, so each part is equally important.The cerebrum (大脑) is where you think, decide, remember, and feel. This is the large part on top. Under the cerebrum is the cerebellum (小脑). This part controls your muscles, so this part dictates your body movements. The third part, called the medulla (髓), controls a very important group of nerves. It is through these nervesthat messages pass from your brain to your body. The medulla doesnot help you think. It tells the muscles in your body to work. For example, the medulla keeps you breathing, it makes your heart continue to beat, and it tells your stomach to digest the food that you just ate.The human brain is a very complicated organ. Each of the three parts does different jobs, but actually no one knows for certain how the brain works.5. A good title for this passage is _______.A. Three Ways to ThinkB. The Human BrainC.

It comes in colors such as black, brown, white, yellow, and red. However, the color of skin is not important. All skin has one important job. to protect what is inside our bodies. With careful treatment, your skin will continue to help protect you and your body for a long time.Skin has two parts. The top part which we can see is called the epidermis (表皮). It is a very thin layer of dead skin. The body replaces this layer all the time. People lose about twenty kilos of skin in their life.The inner layer of skin is called the dermis (真皮). The skin in this layer is living. The dermis makes new skin for the epidermis. In addition, the dermis has tiny oil glands (腺). The oil glands are important because they produce oilthat help to keep our skin soft. The dermis is also important because it allows our body to lose some of its heat. In this way, our body does not get too hot.14. A good title for this article is _______.A. Skin ColorB. About Human SkinC. Functions of Oil GlandsD. Differences between Epidermis and Dermis15.

They believe that dolphins do “talk”to each other, whistling “names” among themselves and others in their group. They help one another when in trouble. Like bats, they use sound waves to "see". Because of these and many other findings, many scientists now place dolphins among the cleverest animals on earth.Dolphins love to mimic (模仿)- If we swim on our backs, they do too. If we dive, they follow. Once a trainer blew a puff of (一口)cigarette smoke against the window of an observation tank (观察舱), a young dolphin suddenly swam to its mother, nursed a moment, and spit out a cloud of milk against the glass.It is even more surprising that dolphins are able to understand sign language. One of Herman’s dolphins .mastered more than 50 sign words. And they can also mimic the signatures of others. Now scientists are learning how dolphins “speak" to each other.Dolphins help one another. When birth-giving takes place, females (雌性)gather to keep off sharks (鯊鱼). Later, while the mother looks for food,, they take care of the young dolphin, swimming in a circle.Dolphins reach out to us in astonishing ways. What would the world be like without them?24.

Man will be able to talk freely to dolphins in the near future.D. Sign language is the only way to make dolphins understand us.28. The underlined word "they" in the first paragraph refers to ______.A. scientistsB. batsC. dolphinsD. trainersKey: CBDAC7Strange things happen to time when you travel. Because the earth is divided into twenty-four zones one hour apart. You can have days with more or fewer than twenty-four hours, and weeks more or fewer than seven days.If you make 'a five-day trip across the Atlantic Ocean, your ship enters different time zone everyday. As you enter each zone, the time changes one hour. Travelling west, you set your clock back; travelling east, you set it ahead. Each day of your trip has. either twenty4ive or twenty-three hours.If you travel by ship across .the Pacific, you cross the international data line.

C. all Indian writer described forests that were somewhat like national parks today. The killing of game beasts was carefully supervised (监督). Some animals were fully protected. Within the forest, nobody was allowed to cut timber (树木), burn wood for charcoal, or trap animals for their furs.

Hunters who kill endangered species are severely punished by law.Key: BCBAA9In October 1949, the United Nations brought a number of officials on food to Geneva to discuss the problem of eating habits and food supplies of peoples throughout the world. One problem that interested them particularly was a form of illness, about which little was known among the children in Africa and Latin America. Two doctors were chosen to make the study. They flew to Africa, south of Sahara and during the next two months they visited ten countries. They found that serious problems of poor eating existed in all parts of Africa.The sick children are usually those from one to four years old, As the illness progresses, the children’s stomachs become filled with liquid. The hair changes colour and starts to fall out. The patient loses all interest in his surroundings and even in food, and becomes so weak that he wants to lie down all the time. The doctors pointed out that many African children caught this kind of illness because they are too little milk or meat. It was necessary that the children of Africa should be helped to eat better. The doctors suggested that the production of food rich in protein (蛋白质) be increased. The United Nations should send large quantities of powdered milk (奶粉) to hospital and children health centres.40.

Boarding schools started hundreds of years ago in the country. But the earliest boarding schools were set up for white, rich boys only. Now both boys and girls can go to boarding schools from the age of 7 to 18.What to doIn the UK, boarding schools have three terms in a school year, with about 13 weeks in each term. Students study and live together. They can’t go outside if they are not allowed to. In some schools, each student has his or her subject plan. Besides the usual classrooms and laboratories, the boarding schools have lots of other facilities for their students, including music rooms, boats, swimming pools, cinemas and theatres. Most boarding schools have a “light out” time. So when it’s time to go to bed, all the lights in the bedrooms are turned off. There are house-masters to take care of students all the time, especially after school hours.What to wearNearly all students at boarding schools wear a school uniform. Boys usually wear a shirt and a tie, and girls wear a white blouse, sometimes also a tie and a skirt. As students get older, the rules become less strict._______________In the UK, boarding schools provide students with delicious food. They can choose to have a full English breakfast or simply bread. They can also choose between a meal with no meat and another meal at lunch and dinner. And there is always self-service for salad (沙拉), other side dishes and a dessert.

On Christmas Eve when Paul came out of his office, a street urchin (顽童) was walking around the shining car. “Is this your car, Paul?” he asked.Paul answered, “Yes, my brother gave it to me for Christmas.” The boy was surprised. “You mean your brother gave it to youand it cost you nothing? Boy, I wish…” He hesit ated (犹豫).Of course Paul knew what he was going to wish for. He was going to wish he had a brother like that. But what the boy said surprised Paul greatly.“I wish,” the boy went on, “that I could be a brother like that.” Paul looked at the boy in surpris e, and then he said again, “Would you like to take a ride in my car?”“Oh yes, I’d love that.”After a short ride, the boy turned around with his eyes shining, said, “Paul, would you mind driving in front of my house?”Paul smiled a little. He thought he knew what the boy wanted. He wanted to show his neighbors that he could ride home in a big car. But Paul was wrong again. “Will you stop where those two steps are?” the boy asked.He ran up to the steps. Then in a short while Paul heard him coming back, but he was not coming fast. He was carrying his little crippled (残疾的) brother. He sat him down on the step and pointed to the car.“There he is, Buddy, just like I told you upstairs. His brother gave it to him for Christmas and it didn’t cost him a cent. And some day I’m going to give you one just like it…then you can see for yourself all the nice things in the Christmas windows that I’ve been trying to tell you about.”Paul got out and lifted the boy to the front seat of his car. The shining-eyed elder brother climbed in beside him and the three of them began an unforgettable holiday ride.根据短文内容，选择最佳答案。

Wearing soft pajamas and with Lan, my stuffed monkey, in my arms, I felt no pressure at all.I named Lan after my uncle when I compared Lan's long arms and legs to his. One night I ran up to Uncle Lan at a family party and told him I had named my monkey after him. His eyebrows wrinkled in confusion, then a chuckle(哈哈笑)escaped his lips. I guess he didn't understand how important it was to me.Even if Uncle Lan didn't think my monkey was special, Icertainly did. I dressed him in a white baby nightgown. My motherthought that Lan was the best-dressed stuffed animal in the world. Yes, he was certainly a fashionable creature. The strong cologne(科隆香水)I used on him years ago makes him still smell “pretty”.For a long time, Lan went everywhere with me. He was my best friend, and I told him everything. But when I turned twelve, I realized I was too old for stuffed animals. I thought people would think I was babyish, so I put him in the cupboard with the rest of my teddy bearsand dolls. I begged him to understand why I was doing this, but at the same time I longed to talk to him again.It took me several years to realize that it was OK to miss Lan.I know now that maturity(成熟)doesn't only mean growing up and taking on more responsibility. It also means holding on to your childhood and acting young sometimes.Lan has been with me since I was six years old. Holding him in my arms connects me to my past and my present as I continue to grow and understand myself.46.Which of the following is not true according to the text?A.Bedtime used to be the writer's favourite part of the day because of the stuffed monkey.B.Uncle Lan liked the stuffed monkey as much as the writer.C.The writer used to carry the monkey with her wherever she went.D.Years later the writer realized that it was not wrong to miss Monkey Lan.47.Why did the writer love Monkey Lan deeply?A.He could understand her.B.He was a fashionable monkey.C.He could talk with her.D.He was her most honest listener.48.Why did the writer put the monkey away when he was twelve years old?A.He thought Lan could understand.B.He had some teddy bears and dolls.C.He didn't talk to Lan.D.He thought people would think he was babyish.49.What did the writer believe?A.keeping stuffed animals is babyish.B.Maturity doesn't mean growing up and taking on more responsibility.C.One should keep to his childhood and act young sometimes even when he has grown up.D.Human beings should be kind to animals.50.What can we infer from the text?A.The writer is still a teenager.B.The writer is now a middle-aged woman.C.Monkey Lan got angry for being left aloneD.Uncle Lan has a monkey-like face>>>>>>参考答案<<<<<<第一篇：DBBCC第二篇：BDDCA。

初三英语阅读：Slow TravelSlow TravelWhen we travel in a hurry, we miss the small details that make each place unique. We losethe wonder and joy of the journey. We spend more time taking photos than actually experiencing a place. And at the end of all that rushingaround（忙碌）, we return home more tired than when we left. That is why the age of Slow Travel is dawning（开始）.Slow Travel believes, you should stay in one location for a longer period of time (at least a week), and dive more deeply into the local culture. You can enjoy a drink at the local watering hole, make friends with the locals, take time to take in the local rhythms（节奏）.You become a temporary resident instead of a tourist. Slow Travel believes you should know there will be more trips. Even getting there should be leisurely —instead of being crammed into a plane and subjected to ridiculous security（安检）, why not take a train, car or a boat？When traveling, I always love walking away from the tourist path and taking in things as a local. When I visited a friend in Germany recently, one of my favorite things to do was wander (漫步) around the local grocery stores and cafes to see what Germans like to eat.(Lots of breads, and boys are into their sweets!)How can you make your next trip a slow trip？★Stay in a local rental.★Stay in a place that is non-touristy. Better yet, go to your destination in the off-season (淡季) .★Stay out of cars. If you’re lucky enough to live in a place that supports walking (or biking), forsake（放弃）a rental car, and hoof (步行) it around your neighborhood.★Get out among the locals. Make it a point to relax at a local cafe or bar, even if you’re traveling solo.★Ask the locals. Instead of consulting guide books on what to do and where to eat, ask the locals.Choose the best answer.（）1.Slow Travel means ______.A. rushing around many places in a short timeB. staying one place for longer timeC. enjoying local culture more deeplyD. both B and C（）2.Slow Travelers can dive into the local culture by ______.A. enjoying a drink at a local pubB. making friends with the localsC. taking time to get into the local lifeD. all of the above（）3.The underlined word“resident”means ______.A. localB. foreignerC. visitorD. tourist（）4.Which transport wouldn’t a Slow Traveler prefer to take？A. A train.B. A plane.C. A boat.D. A car.（）5.When I visited Germany, one of my favourite things to do was to ______.A. walk along the tourist path like a visitorB. go sightseeing from one place to another hurriedlyC. wander around the local grocery stores and cafesD. take photos busily at different tourist attractions（）6．How many suggestions does the author mention for having a slow trip？A. Four.B. Five.C. Six.D. Seven.解析：听说过“慢游族”吗？人们厌倦了走马观花式的旅游方式，自助游、休闲游、深度游成为了一种旅游度假的流行时尚。
慢旅游也是漫游，随心所欲地停停走走，慢慢地欣赏一次日落或者感受一场疾雨，又或者悠闲地在咖啡馆坐一个下午，轻松地与当地人聊聊天，都会给旅程增添无穷乐趣。
慢旅游提醒我们在赶路的过程中别忘了停下来欣赏一下路边的风景，学会欣赏是一种很容易实现的慢游方式。
人们享受最多的，莫过于在旅游欣赏过程中放松身心，体验真正的趣味。
1.参考答案为D。
原文第二段第一句提到慢游者应当在一个地方停留至少一周，并且深入当地文化。
2.参考答案为D。
根据第二段最后提到的几种方法——enjoy a drink at the local wateringhole, make friends with the locals, take time to take in the local rhythms，不难判断所有选项都是深入当地文化的方法。
3.参考答案为A。
这里需要根据上下文推测词义。
前面提到Slow Travel要深入当地文化，而原句又提到要像一个resident而不要像一个旅游者，因此要找一个和旅游者词义相对的选项，故“当地人”成为最合理的选择。
4.参考答案为B。
原文第三段最后一句提到，“到达旅游点也应该是悠闲的。
乘飞机要忍受拥挤的机舱还要接受可笑的安检，为什么不乘车、船或者火车？”显然“慢游族”不喜欢乘飞机。
5.参考答案为C。
第四段第二句中作者告诉我们，他在德国的“慢游”方式是在当地的食品店或咖啡馆闲逛。
6.参考答案为B。
根据文章最后的文字，可知作者共提出了五条建议。
阅读简答题1.Do you want a happier, healthier family? Here’s a simple way: Eat with your family more often. Increasingly, researchers are discovering the importance of family mealtime. Several recentstudies have pointed to the same result: Children who often eat dinner with their parents arehappier and have fewer behavior problems.Dr. Blake Bowden, an American researcher, carried out one study. He found that young peoplewho have family dinners at least five times a week may not use drugs. They are often happier anddo better in school.ause dinnertime offersClearly, family dinners are important for a child’s development. Why? Becbusy families a good chance to sit down together and talk. The relaxing conversation at the dinnertable helps keep good family relationships(关系). And good family relationships help childrendevelop self-respect and a sense of belonging.health. One study shows that children whoFamily relationships can also influence a person’senjoy close relationships with their mothers will not develop serious health problems.Sadly, however, meaningful family time is too often forgotten. Parents are busy working andchildren are busy studying for tests. According to Dr. Blake’s study, nearly 25 percent of people say that they have little time for family.According to another study, people spend only about 50 minutes of free time with family each day.And those 50 minutes are not well spent on meaningful conversations, either. Many parents saythey know little about their children’s friends.So how can families find more time for each other? How can they enjoy more family meals andconversations? They need to make choices. For children, they’d better not spend so much on their tests, but they may risk(冒险) falling behind their classmates. For parents, they need to go backhome earlier and risk not getting a high position.But for families who do make those tough choices, the rewards are rich. Making time to eat dinnerwith family does more than feed the body—it nourishes (滋养) the heart.1.Are family dinners important for children?2. Why is meaningful family time often forgotten?3. According to a study, how long do people stay with family each day?4. What should parents do to keep good family relationships?5. How do good family relationships help children?Key:1.Yes, they are.2. Because parents and children are too busy.3. About 50 minutes.4. They should go back home earlier.5. They help children to keep healthy physically and mentally./ They help children develop self-respect and a sense of belonging. What’s more,children may not have serious health problems if they enjoy happy family relationships2.You don’t need millions to be happy. In fact, at the Happiness Training Centre in Australia, acouple of hundred dollars may be enough.The training centre opened its doors last year, and, since then, men and women of all ages havebeen paying $200 an hour for lessons on how to feel great. “You c an really increase yourhappiness levels. That’s what we teach,” said Timothy Sharp, beginner of the centre.Experts say that only about 15 per cent of happiness comes from incomeandfinancer (收入及财务因素). As much as 85 per cent comes from things such as attitude, life control and relationships.Most of us are better off financially than our parents and grandparents, but happiness levelshaven’t changed to match that.Studies show that once the basic needs of housing and food are met, other wealth adds very littleto happiness.Scientists now say part of the reason we are richer but not happier is that we compare ourselves topeople better off.“The fact is that if you want to be happy, there’s a very simple thing you can do: compare yourself to people who are less well off than you —poorer, smaller house, etc.” said Sharp.The Happiness Training Centre hopes to show you how to overcome these unhappiness factors bypaying attention to “more than just your bank account.”“If I compare myself to Bill Gates, then I’m always going to be down,” said Sharp.1. Do people need a lot of money to be happy?2. When did the Happiness Training Centre open?raining Centre in Australia?3. Who’s the beginner of the Happiness T4.

Now I know the secret! Firstly, there is the special winter stock (货物) and the stock that people buy all the year round; some of these things are reduced(降价) a little. Secondly, there are the summer clothes they couldn't sell last year; these are reduced a lot to clear them. Thirdly, there are cheap clothes bought in specially for the sales; these are put at high prices ten days before the sale begins and then are reduced by 60% in the sale. Clever! Lastly, they buy in "seconds" (clothes not in perfect condition) for the sale and they are sold very cheaply.When I arrived half an hour before opening on the first day of the sale, there was already a queue around three sides of the building. This made me very nervous.When the big moment arrived to open the doors, the security guards, looking less confident than usual, came up to them, keys in hand. The moment they had unlocked the doors, they hid behind the doors for protection as the noisy crowd charged in. I couldn't believe my eyes; this wasn't shopping, it was a battlefield(战场)! One poor lady couldn't keep her feet and was knocked over by people pushing from behind.Clothes were flying in all directions as people searched for the sizes, colours and styles they wanted. Mothers were using their small children to crawl(爬行)through people's legs and get hold of things they couldn't get near themselves.Within minutes I had half a dozen people pushing clothes under my nose, each wanted to be the first served. Where had the famous English queue gone? The whole day continued like that,but I kept my temper! I was taking money quickly and began to realize why, twice a year, Graham's were happy to turn their expensive store into a battlefield like this.In the sale fever, people were spending money like water without thinking whether they needed what they were buying. As long as it was cheap, it was OK.I was so tired that I crashed out for four hours after I got home. Then I had dinner and went backto bed, feeling the sound of the alarm clock which would tell me to get ready for the second day of the sale.1.

Indeed, if he is known as being lazy, you might evenbe quite cross. Such behavior is regarded as “all too human”, with the underlying belief that other animals would not be able to have this finely developed sense of sadness. But a study by SarahBrosnan of Emory University in Atlanta, Georgia, which has just been published in Nature,suggests that it is all too monkey, as well.The researchers studied the behaviors of some kind of female brown monkeys. They look smart.They are good-natured, co-operative creatures, and they share their food happily. Above all, likefemale human beings, they tend to pay much closer attention to the value of “goods and serv than males.Such characteristics make them perfect subjects f or Doctor Brosnan’s study. The researchers spenttwo years teaching their monkeys to exchange tokens (奖券) for food. Normally, the monkeyswere happy enough to exchange pieces of rock for pieces of cucumber. However, when twomonkeys were placed in separate and connected rooms, so that each other could observe what theother is getting in return for its rock, they became quite different.In the world of monkeys，grapes are excellent goods (and much preferable to cucumbers). Sowhen one monkey was handed a grape in exchange for her token, the second was not willing tohand hers over for a mere piece of cucumber. And if one received a grape without having toprovide her token in exchange at all, the other either shook her own token at the researcher, orrefused to accept the cucumber. Indeed, the mere presence of a grape in the other room (withoutan actual monkey to eat it) was enough to bring about dissatisfaction in a female monkey.The researches suggest that these monkeys, like humans, are guided by social senses. In the wild,they are co-operative and group-living. Such co-operation is likely to be firm only when eachanimal feels it is not being cheated. Feelings of anger when unfairly treated, it seems, are not thenature of human beings alone. Refusing a smaller reward completely makes these feelings clear toother animals of the group. However, whether such a sense of fairness developed independently inmonkeys and humans, or whether it comes from the common roots that they had 35 million yearsago, is, as yet, an unanswered question.1. According to the passage, which of the following statements is true?A. Only monkeys and humans can have the sense of fairness in the world.B. Women will show more dissatisfaction than men when unfairly treated.C. In the wild, monkeys are never unhappy to share their food with each other.D. Monkeys can exchange cucumbers for grapes, for grapes are more attractive.2. The underlined statement “it is all too monkey” means that ________.A. monkeys are also angry with lazy fellowsB. feeling bitter at unfairness is also monkey’s natureC. monkeys, like humans, tend to be envious of each otherD. no animals other than monkeys can develop such feelings3. Which of the following conclusions is TRUE according to the passage?A. Human beings' feelings of anger are developed from the monkeys.B. In the research, male monkeys are less likely to exchange food with others.C. Co-operation between monkeys stays firm before the realization of being cheated.D. Only monkeys and humans have the sense of fairness which dates back to 35 million years ago.4. What can we infer about the monkeys in Sarah’s study?A. The monkeys can be trained to develop social senses.B. They usually show their feelings openly as humans do.C. The monkeys may show their satisfaction with equal treatment.D. Co-operation among the monkeys remains effective in the wild.倒计时39天答案：BBCC上海市初三英语倒计时40天练习（回答问题）People didn’t use to throw things away. They used to mend their clothes and reused them untilthey wore out. When they bought things, they used to carry shopping baskets. But now we don’reuse things well and more rubbish has been produced. We throw away 25 million tons of waste inour dustbins (垃圾箱) every year. That means one family throws away about one thousand kilos ofwaste.We have a strong reason to take it as a serious problem! The fact is that lots of rubbish we throwaway could be reused or recycled (回收利用). The so-called rubbish isn’t really rubbish.The UK is one of the worst recyclers in Europe. In other words, in the UK they’re recycling onlyabout 8% of their everyday waste. That’s much less than many other countries. Germany recycles10%, while Japan recycles 40%. The government has set a goal of recycling 30% of theireveryday waste by the year 2010. But it looks that it is not easy to reach it. As we know, somehabits are difficult to change and some collection plans are expensive to carry out.At present, the movement called Recycle Now in the UK tries to change that situation. The Topdesigner (设计师)Oliver Heath is a strong fan of the movement. In 2005 he designed the firsthome built completely from recycled things, including metal cans and glass bottles. “It alwaysybe in the nearmakes me excited when I make good use of those recycled things,” he said, “Mafuture, you can also make something from recycled computer printers, plastic bags, bottle tops orCDs.” When his story was reported on TV, more and more people begin to try his ideas.Some local (地方的) governments have set up recycling centres where it’seasy for families totake their empty bottles and old newspapers.
