10道中考阅读理解训练题第一篇：Swimming and English LearningCan you swim? Do you like swimming? Yes? Well, how can you learn to swim? I think the best way is to go into the water and learn. I’m afraid you’ll never learn to swim just by reading books about swimming or looking at others swimming. It’s the same with the English study. We must practice, practice and practice.Listening and speaking are very important for beginners. The children in English-speaking countries first listen to others. Then they try to imitate and speak. We can listen to English programs on radio. You may just understand a few words. It doesn’t matter. Just be relaxed, try to catch every word.Somebody may be a good listener. But he dare not speak. He’s afraid of making mistakes. You know we so metimes make mistakes when we speak Chinese. Don’t be afraid. We must be brave. If you really want to learn English well, you must try to speak with everyone so long as he knows English. Whether you know him or not is not important when there’s nobody to t alk with, you can talk to yourself in English. It’s interesting and also a good way to practice your spoken English. Remember, the more you speak, the fewer mistakes you’ll make.Reading and writing are more important for senior school students. First we must choose the books we’re interested in. A lot of reading will improve your language sense. This is the most important.Keep writing English diaries. We can also write English articles. You may even post them to English magazines. Don’t be afraid of failu re. Failure is the mother of success.Easier said than done. Well, let’s do more practice from now on. I’m sure you’ll learn English well in this way.(1) You can learn to swim by_______.A. reading books about it.B. looking at others swimmingC. having lessons on it.D. going into the river and learning(2) We should learn English by _______.A. listening and speakingB. reading and writingC. A and BD. swimming(3) What will you do with mistakes when you speak?A. Don’t make mistakes.B. Study hardC. Try not to speak EnglishD. Don’t be afraid.(4) What’s more important for senior school students?A. listeningB. speakingC. reading and writingD. learning(5) We can listen to English ______, according to the passage.A. by trainB. on the radioC. every minuteD. now and then 第二篇：根据材料内容选择最佳答案，并将其标号填入题前括号内。

英语阅读理解题20套(带答案)及解析

一、中考英语阅读理解汇编1．阅读理解Parents can be very important teachers in our lives. However, they are not always the best teachers. Parents may be too close to their children emotionally（情感上）. Sometimes they can only see their children through the eyes of a protector. For example, a teacher might see a trip to a big city as a valuable experience. However, it might seem too dangerous to a parent.Another problem is that parents may expect their children's interests to be similar to their own.If they love science, they may try to force（强迫） their child to love science, too. But what if their child's true love is art writing, or car repair?Parents usually want to pass on their values to their children. But should children always believe what their parents do? When children are young, they believe that their parents are always right. But when they get older, they will have different ways of thinking.The most important thing to realize is that we all have many teachers in our lives. Our parents teach us, our teachers teach us, and our friends teach us. Books, newspapers and television also teach us. All of them are valuable.（1）________might see a trip to a big city as a valuable experience, according to the passage.A. A parent.B. Either a teacher or a parent.C. A teacher.D. Neither a teacher nor a parent.（2）The underlined phrase "pass on" in the 3rd paragraph means________.A. 路过B. 继承C. 传递D. 领悟（3）When children get older, they________.A. don't believe their parents any moreB. should always believe what their parents doC. believe that their parents are always rightD. begin to have their own ways of thinking（4）What is the best title of the passage?A. Never grow upB. Believe your parents foreverC. Are parents always the best teachers?D. How many teachers can we have in our lives【答案】（1）C（2）C（3）D（4）C【解析】【分析】文章大意：本文主要讲述了作者很高兴与父母的关系很好，同时讲述了父母是孩子生活中最重要的老师。

Several Asian hospitals are doing experiments with tele-medicine. Tele-medicine is a technology that allows doctors to "see" patients without them being in the same place. This is made possible through high-speed communication networks （网络）.At both ends of the line, theway of video-meeting lets them see and talk to each other. Blood pressure (血压) and body temperature are directly shown on computers.Tele-medicine is already in wide use in some places such as the United States andGermany. Among other uses, village doctors hold "consultations ( 会诊 )" with far-away experts （专家） . The experts can also help them during operations.Tele-medicine has been slow to reach Asia because of high costs, besides other reasons. When things improve, this technology will develop very fast. Chinese University of Hong Kong's medical school has joined a big hospital in Beijing, and Thailand is building a tele-medicine station connecting 20 areas.Tele-medicine will do good to patients because doctors from different places can see them and give their medical advice. The help is quite important if the disease is an unusual one. It also helps spread medical knowledge among experts.As tele-medicine develops well, its costs will be lower and it will become very popular in the medical field.77完成句子；78—79 题简略回答问题；80 题将稳中划线句子译为汉语。

中考英语阅读理解(10篇)及答案

The weather is getting hotter. You are thirsty playing basketball or riding home from school. A cold drink may be just the thing. But be careful what you are drinking. Something that looks cool may not be good for your health.There are plenty of "energy drinks" on the market. Most of them have beautiful colors and cool names. The lists on them tell you they are helpful to your health. Sounds great!But after a careful check you may find that most energy drinks have lots of caffeine （咖啡因）in them. These drinks are especially aimed at young people, students, busy people and sports players. Makers sometimes say their drinks make you better at sports and can keep you awake. But be careful not to drink too much.Caffeine makes your heart beat fast. Because of this, the International Olympic Committee has limited（限制）its use. Caffeine in most energy drinks is at least as strong as that in a cup of coffee or tea. Possible health dangers have something to do with energy drinks. Just one box of energy drink can make you nervous, have difficulty sleeping and can even cause heart problems. Scientists say that teenagers should be discouraged from taking drinks with a lot of caffeine in them.（）6. Many people like drinking energy drinks because of the following EXCEPT that ________.A. they have beautiful colors and cool namesB. they have lots of caffeineC. they can keep them awake and better at sportsD. they are said to be helpful to health（）7. The main reason for people not to drink too much energy drinks is that they may cause _____.A. heart problemsB. nervousnessC. sleeping difficultyD. possible health dangers（）8. The underlined word "discouraged" can be replaced（替换）with "________".A. encouragedB. stoppedC. helpedD. disliked（）9.

Which of the following can be the best title（标题）of the passage?A. What's the Use of Energy Drinks?B. Who Can Drink Energy DrinksC. What's That in Energy Drinks?D. Why Can't We Buy Energy Drinks?As a child, I was really afraid of the dark and of getting lost. These fears were very real and caused me some uncomfortable moments.Maybe it was the strange way things looked and sounded in my own room at night that scared me so much. There was never complete darkness, but always a streetlight or passingcar lights, which made clothes on the back of a chair take on the shape of a wild animal. Out of the corner of my eye, I saw the curtains（窗帘）seem to move when there was no wind. A very low sound in the floor would seem a hundred times louder than in the day. My imagination （想象）would run wild, and my heart would beat fast. I would lie very still so that the "enemy（敌人）" would not discover me.Another of my childhood fears was that I would get lost, especially on the way home from school. Every morning I got on the school bus right near my home. That was no problem. After school, though, when all the buses were lined up along the street, I was afraid that I would get in the wrong one and be taken to some other strange places. On school or family trips to a park or a museum, I wouldn't let the leaders out of my sight.Perhaps one of the worst fears of all I had as a child was that of not being liked or accepted by others. Being popular was so important to me then, and the fear of not being liked was a serious one.One of the processes（过程）growing up is being able to realize and overcome our fears. Understanding the things that scared us as children helps us achieve greater success later in life. （）11. The author had _________kind（s）of fears when she was a child.A. oneB. twoC. threeD. none（）12. _________ would scare the author at night.A. Streetlight and car lightsB. Wild animals and enemiesC.

She was not at all liked by others.（）15. The underlined word "overcome" means "_________" in Chinese.A. 接受B. 忍受C. 信服D. 克服阅读理解（3）ASixteen years ago a boy gave me an important gift. It was a smile.It was the early autumn of my first year at a middle school, and my old school was far away. As a result, no one knew who I was. I was very lonely, and afraid to speak to anyone.Every time I heard the other students talking and laughing, I felt my hear t break. I couldn’t talk with anyone about my problems.Then one day, when my classmates were talking happily with their friends, I was sitting at my desk unhappily as usual. At that moment, a boy entered the classroom. I didn’t know who he was. He passed by me and then turned back. He looked at me, with a smile.Suddenly, I felt the touch of something bright and friendly. It made me feel happy and warm. That smile changed my life. I started to talk with other students and made friends. Day by day, I became closer to everyone in my class. The boy with the lucky smile has become my best friend now.One day I asked him why he had smiled, but he couldn’t remember doing so!It doesn’t matter because all the dark days have gone. I believe that the world is what you think it is. If you think it is lonely, you might always be alone. So smile at the world and it will smile back.（）1. When did the writer get the gift?A.

But what is health? “Health” means eating well, getting enough exercise, and having a healthy weight. Let’s read the following rules. They can help you stay healthy.（1）. Eat a variety of food, especially fruit and vegetables. We all know that eating fruit and vegetables can help us stay healthy, but many of us only eat our favorite food. Remember that we can only get the nutrition （营养）we need by eating different kinds of food, especially fruit andvegetables.（2）. Drink water and milk most often. Everyone knows that water is important. Besides that, kids need plenty of calcium （钙）to grow strong bones, and milk is rich in it. Every day, you should drink at least three cups of milk, when you are 9 years old or older. You should also try to have less sugary drinks, like soda and coca. They include a lot of sugar. Sugar only includes calories （热量）, not important nutrition.（3）. Listen to your body. When you are eating, notice how your body feels. When your stomach feels comfortably full, stop eating. Eating too much makes you feel uncomfortable. If you do it too often, it can make you unhealthy and fat.（4）. Limit screen time. What’s screen time? It’s the amount of time you spend watching TV, movies and playing computer games. The more time you spend on these sitting-down activities, the less time you spend playing sports, like basketball, and doing other activities like riding and swimming. Try to spend no more than 2 hours a day on screen time.（）6.

In recent years, micro plastics have been found almost everywhere, from the North Pole to Antarctica（南极洲）, from the top of the earth's tallest mountain to the deepest point in the sea.In a study led by a group called Ocean Wise, researchers made four trips across the Arctic Ocean. They took 71 samples （样本） from between 10 leet and 26 feet（3~8 metres） below the ocean's surface. They took 26 more samples, some from more than 0.6 miles （1 kilometre）below the surface.They found micro plastics in all but one of the 97 samples taken, with an average of about 40 micro plastic particles （颗粒） in every cubic（立方的） metre. In the study, the scientists used a tool based on infrared light-a kind oflight that humans are unable to see. This tool allowed them to figure out not just which bits were plastic, but exactly what kind of plastic they were.Over 92% of the micro plastics found were small threads, called microfibres（超细纤维）. About 73% of these fibres were made of a plastic known as polyester（聚酯）. The researchers looked into the size and colour of the fibres and found they matched polyester used in clothing.The study found far more micro fibres near the Atlantic side of the Arctic Ocean than near the Pacific side. The fibres on the Atlantic side were also newer. The team believes this suggests that the fibres come from Europe and North America. Peter Ross, who led the research, said,"With these polyester fibres, we've created a cloud throughout the world's oceans. "Most samples were taken from an ocean layer（表层） where lots of sea life finds food. The scientists believe this means that many kinds of sea life, from the smallest to the largest, are likely to be affected by the pollution.So how do these micro fibres get into the sea They breakoff when clothes are washed and are emptied into sewers（下水道） as washing machines drain（排水）. Another studysuggested that laundry （洗衣） from the US and Canada carries around 3,500,000 kilograms of plastic micro fibres into the sea every year.One way to avoid sending so much plastic into the sea is to reduce mar-made materials, especially those that easily break down into microfibres. Washing clothes less oftenwill also help. There are also Special filters（过滤器）for washing machines which help prevent micro fibres from escaping.

Yet, as time goes by, you find your task list grows. What you set out to achieve in the beginning seems to get pushed to the side.You're not alone.Many of us don’t have a process to prioritize tasks and always i eel like we're playing catch-up. We fail to decide what the most important task is evenwhen everything on the to-do list seems important. But we can get ahead and stay on top of dead in es with some simple methods of setting priorities and managing our workload.Here's a simple way to prioritize our dally tasks and focus （专注） on the work that matters most:Of all the things we now have energy for, do the thing we re normally least likely to do. If we have some live frogs（青蛙）to eat for breakfast, the idea is to eat the ugliest one as early as possible.There are several ways this trick（技巧） can benefit us. Doing something we rarely（很少）do is energizing. You do a thing like washing your windows that you never do. Having clean windows won't change your life but it challenges your conception of yourself. It influences how we see ourselves. Getting our body moving gives us energy and can improve our focus.Unfamiliar things often provide more chances to help us grow than familiar ones. When I write for a new publication, it's with a new editor. I get different Ie ed back. I need to change my style to match the style of that publication, so I develop my skills. In this way we'llexpand（发展） ourselves, our skills, and our future opportunities.Some people react to anxiety by working hard on very comfortable things instead of paying attention to uncomfortable tasks that are a higher priority. The way of prioritizing helps prevent us from doing that. It makes it harder to fool ourselves that we re being productive by doing busywork that's super comfortable for us but haslittle chance of changing our life.Should we use this trick all the time No. This is a goodtip for the time when we’ve got energy, but we re swimming in thoughts about all the things we can do, and we re having trouble deciding and focusing.Priorities are great. Knowing our priorities reduces stress, helps us focus and can also improve productivity and time management. But remember to be realistic about how much work we can actually do each day. When we prioritize our work properly, we re sure to have a good day.（）1. What does the underlined word "prioritize" in Paragraph 2 probably meanA. To explain what the most beneficial thing is.B. To decide what should be done first.C. To tell what the most meaningful thing is.D. To discuss what can be achieved.（）2. The ugliest frog refers to _____.A. the animal we fear mostB. the to-do list we've messed upC. the thing we are least likely to doD.the thing that makes our day terrible（）3. What can we learn from the passageA. Doing unfamiliar things possibly improves our skills.B. Doing energizing things shows how we see others.C. Doing things we rarely do leads to the poor focus.D. Doing comfortable things changes our life.（）4. What is the passage mainly aboutA. A solution to reduce our stress.B. Ways to help us focus and decide.C.A trick of increasing our productivity.D.Advantages of developing our skills.CResearchers have reported on new ways to break down plastic. The studies could lead to easier high-quality（高质量的） recycling,and help deal with toxic（有毒的）plastic pollution.The world is being covered by plastic, but only about 9% of plastic products are ever recycled.Every year, over 7.72 trillion kilograms of plastic finds its way into theworld's oceans. But bacteria （细菌）may help recycle plastic, even when humans don't.Bacteria are small living things-so small that we need a microscope（显微镜）to see them.Bacteria feed themselves in many different ways. Some bacteria can "eat" other things by changing the chemicalsin those things into something that will help the bacteria grow.The secret to this is enzymes（酶）. Bacteria use enzymes to cause chemical changes. Enzymes can work like a pair of scissors, cutting and breaking apart other materials.Most people know PET plastic. It is used in water and soda bottles. About 63.5 billion kilograms of PET plastic is produced every year. Most PET is thrown away, but even when it is recycled, it can't be made into new bottles. Usually it's turned into products like carpets（地毯）.Years ago, in the decaying（腐烂的） leaves, scientists discovered an enzyme called LCC that slowly breaks down PET plastic. Years later, scientists working at the Frenchcompany Car bios chose LCC from nearly 100,000 enzymes. It was the best at breaking down PET.But the scientists wanted to improve LCC. They studied the enzyme and the way it at take d the PET. By testing thousands of small changes to the enzyme, they came up with a new kind of LCC.The new kind can be alive at higher temperatures and can eat through PET very quickly.The process turns the PET plastic back into the materials that it was made from.Those materials can then be used again to make new bottles or other products.The researchers compared their new LCC with the old enzyme, and were satisfied with the results. When the environment was just right, the new LCC was able to break down 90% of the PET in just ten hours. The old enzyme took about 20 hours and only broke down half of the PET.（）1. How much PET plastic is produced every yearA. About 7.72 trillion kilogramsB. About 63.5 billion kilograms.C. About 100 thousand kilograms.D. About 2 hundred kilograms.（）2. What do you know about the bacteria from thepassageA. Bacteria can be seen with our eyes.B. Bacteria can break down other materials directly.C. Bacteria use enzymes to create physical changes in things.D.Bacteria are small living things that feed on unusual forms of "food".（）3. According to the passage, what is the relationship between PET plastic and LCCA. The earliest LCC couldn't break down PET plastic.B. LCC can help stop PET plastic from breaking down.C.PET plastic can now be recycled faster because of a new kind of LCC.D. The used PET plastic will become another kind of pollution because of LCC.（）4. Which of the following would be the best title for the passageA. Bacteria: Growing by eating chemicalsB. Enzymes: Working like a pair of scissorsC. PET: Being widely used to make water and soda bottlesD.LCC:Leading to easier high-quality recycling of PET plasticD"Who are you "asked the little prince（王子）."I am a fox,"said the fox."Come and play with me,"said the little prince."I am so unhappy.""I cannot play with you,"the fox said.

Ways to ring in the new yearWhen New Year comes, people like to celebrate the beginning of the year in different ways. Here are some clever ideas to ring in the new year.________On New Year’s Eve, many cultures around the world open a window as the clock rings at midnight to let out old year’s air, bring in the new air, and have good luck.________On sticky notes (便利贴), write down what you hope will happen in 2024—for yourself, your family or the world. Then stick them on a board or bedroom wall where you can read them for encouragement.________Challenge yourself in 2024. For example, if you want to learn to cook, you could offer to help your family prepare dinner every Friday night in January. You could help choose the recipe, supermarket for the ingredients, and then do the cooking.________Write “2024” on a bottle. When good things happen or someone gives you a hand in the year, note them on pieces of paper and put them in the bottle. Read your notes and reflect on the year you had until December, 2024.

Write yourself a letter1．2．3．4．5．What else can you do to celebrate the beginning of the year?（23-24九年级上·浙江湖州·一模）Transportation means the way to go out. It has greatly changed with thedevelopment of society.Walking was the main way until humans used animals to carry things. More than 5, 000 years ago people made the wheel successfully. This made it possible for animals to pull carts. People can travel faster. They also traveled by water, at first with simple wooden boat.The steam engine (蒸汽机) was invented in the 1700s. It was an important thing in transportation history and it led the transportation into the modern times. Steam-powered boats and ships could easily travel without wind. On land, inventors used it to drive trains. This made railroads develop fast. The late 1800s saw the first successful bicycles and cars. This made quick and easy transportation possible to more people than ever before. People who bought cars needed more and better roads.In 1903 Wilbur and Orville Wright flew the world’s first plane. The invention of the jet engine in the1940s made air travel the fastest transportation in history.The development of transportation has brought problems, however. Traffic jams, accidents and air pollution are becoming more and more serious. Choosing a green way to travel may be a thing we can do for the earth. Let’s do it!任务A：补全第1—4题的信息。

【新人教】2019年中考英语复习阅读理解训练题10附答案【能力选练】APeople 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 above32°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.About100years 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 review B．a science bookC．a school report D．a computer magazine2．According to the passage,what happened about100years ago?A．Two men succeeded in getting to the North Pole.B．Temperatures in the North Pole went above32°F.C．The environment in the North Pole suddenly became worse.D．The North Pole changed into thick ice because of the temperatures.3．What does the underlined word“uninhabited”probably mean in Chinese?A．气候恶劣的B．充满危险的C．困难重重的D．无人居住的4．The reason for the ice to break into two opening lanes of water is_____________. A．that the temperature suddenly drops B．that the water under the ice is frozenC．that the ocean water under the ice moves D．that the surface is covered with lots of ice5．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.【解析】试题分析：本文是一篇科普文，介绍了北极点的有关情况。

He's always gentle and friendly."Hearing this, Jack decided to hold out his hand and touched the animal's head. Suddenly it jumped up and bit him."Hey!" Jack shouted." You said your dog didn't bite."Sue replied in surprise, "Yeah, I did. But this is not my dog. My dog's at home."46.

Jack made a mistakeC. the dog wasn't dangerousD. both Jack and Sue liked the dog（6）No one can change the weather. Nobody can control the weather. But if we read correctly the signs around us, we can tell what the more important changes in the weather will be. This way of telling what the weather will be like on the following day or two is called weather forecasting(天气预报).For many centuries and in all countries, people have studied the weather and tried to make weather forecasting. Rings around the sun are a sign of coming rain. That many people feel their joints(关节) hurt is a sign of wet weather. Some birds fly high if fine weather is coming, but they fly near the ground if rainy or stormy weather is on the way. If you see a rainbow(彩虹) during rainy weather, this is a sign that the weather will become clear and fine. Such rainbows come in the evening. If the stars twinkle clearly at night, then fine weather will continue. If a fog(雾) appears in the morning just above a river, then the day will be warm. If the sunset is mostly red in colour, then the following day will be fine. If a rainbow appears in the morning, rainy weather will probably come.Most of the above sayings have been made by the people who have used their eyes and brains to make weather forecasting.50. Which of the following can be used here to replace(取代) the underlined phrase “on the way”?A. awayB. goneC. disappearingD. coming51. When you see the stars twinkle clearly at night, the weather will be_________.A. warmB. rainyC. clear and fineD. cold52. Which of the following signs can tell the weather will probably be rainy?A. A rainbow appears in the morning.B. Some birds fly high.C. The stars twinkle clearly at night.D. Fogs appear in the morning just above a river.（7）One of the things to be learnt in a foreign language is guessing all the time what kind of thing to come when listening to someone talking. People do this all the time in their own language, so it is necessary to do this in a foreign language, too. Here are some examples.1. "What's the matter？" "I went to a party last night, so I……"2. "I feel so tired these days."" I think you'd better…"3."Of course, she never stops talking. She is one of the most……"You can see from the above three examples that the context (上下文) helps a lot in understanding what is being talked about. So "guessing" is very important in understanding English, especially spoken English.53. This passage tells us mainly about _________.A. the importance of "guessing" in learning a foreign languageB. how to guess what one is going to talk aboutC. some examples of right guessingD. how important it is to guess all the time54.

"… so I got up very early."55. Maybe the finished answer in EXAMPLE 2 is ________.A. "I think you'd better have a good rest and take good care of yourself."B. "I think you'd better have something to drink."C. "I think you'd better get some help from your friends."D. "I think you'd better be more careful."56. Maybe the finished answer in EXAMPLE 3 is ______.A. "…… she is one of the most famous film stars."B. "……sh e is one of the most beautiful women."C. "……she is one of the most famous speakers."D. "……she is one of the most talkative women."（8）Would you know what to do during a big earthquake? Scientists have some advice for us.If the ground begins shaking while you are driving, stop your car on the roadside and stay in it. If you are in a tall building, don't use the lift and never jump out of the windows. When you are in a living room, find a strong table or rush into a smaller room like washroom. Then lie down your body. Take care of your head. When you are in a public place, like supermarket or cinema, don't crowd in jam(拥挤) , or you may fall over and get hurt. Cross your arms to protect yourself. You can also find a place to hide.After the main shake, quickly run out of the dangerous building for there will be small earthquakes. If you are safe, remember not to engage the phone line, keep it free for rescue(援救) using. Don't go to the hospital if you are not badly hurt, others will really need help. Take part in the rescue action if you can.57. What should people do if they are driving when an earthquake happens?A. Drive on quickly.B. Take care of the car.C. Stop the car on the roadside.D.

It gave the clothing sizes of each family member. I thought that this would be a good chance to teach my children to help those who were less lucky than themselves.

We'll share what we have with them.”I filled a box with foods and clothes. While I was doing this，I encouraged(鼓励) the boys to choose their toys and donate some of their less favorite things. Meghan watched quietly as the boys took out his old toys and games and put them together. Then she walked away. A few minutes later she came back with Lucy，her much-loved doll.

This passage is mainly about “________”.A. How to use ComputersB. Surfing on the InternetC. Information on the InternetD. Internet Safety RulesKey: D BCCDBDo you know why different animals or pests (昆虫) have their special colors? Colors in them seem to be used mainly to protect themselves.Some birds like eating locusts (蝗虫), but birds cannot easily catch them. Why? It is because locusts change their colors together with the change of the colors of crops(庄稼). When crops are green, locusts look green. But as the harvest time comes, locusts change to the same brown color as crops have. Some other pests with different colors from plants are easily found and eaten by others. So they have to hide themselves for lives and appear only at night.If you study the animal life, you’ll find the main use of coloring is to protect themselves. Bears, lions and other animals move quietly through forests. They cannot be easily seen by hunters (猎人). This is because they have the colors much like the trees.Have you ever noticed an even stranger act? A kind of fish in the sea can send out a kind of very black liquid (液体)when it faces danger.

That’s our duck!”The duck was the now-famous Donald Duck, who first appeared in 1934 in the firm The Wise Little Hen. Donald lived in an old houseboat(水上住家) and wore his sailor jacket and hat. Later that year he became a star after an eight –minute Mickey Mouse film. The cinema audience liked him because he was lazy and greedy(贪婪的), and because he lost his temper (发脾气) very quickly. And they loved his voice when he became angry with Mickey’s eight nephews(侄子). Soon Donald was more popular than Mickey Mouse himself, probabl y because he wasn‘t a goody-goody like Mickey.In the 1930S, ‗ 40s and ‗ 50s Donald and his friends Mickey, Goofy and Pluto made hundreds of Disney cartoons. He also made educational films about the place of the USA in the world, and safety in the home.

But I think we students have far more than you.‖With a smile on his face, the teacher drew two circles ,one as large as a big cake, the other smaller. Then he said , ―Of course, I have learned much more. But it‘s wrong to think that a teacher has fewer questions than his students. Now, look at these two circles. The inside of the bigger one is my knowledge of things, and the inside of the smaller one is yours. Out of the circles is what is still unknown to us. Since mine is larger, I have to use the longer line to draw the bigger circle. That means I have more opportun ities to face what is still unknown.

They learn languages, history, politics, geography, physics, chemistry and mathematics. Others go to school to learn a skill so that they can make a living. School education is very important and useful .Y et, no one can learn everything from school. A teacher, no matter how much he knows, can not teach his students everything they wantto know. The teacher‘s job is to show his students how to learn. He teaches them how to read and how to think. So, much more is to be learned outside school by the students themselves.It is always more important to know how to study by oneself than to memorize some facts or a formula. It is actually quite easy to learn a certain fact in history or a formula in mathematics. But it is very difficult to use a formula in working out a math problem. G reat scientists before us didn‘t get everything from school .Their teachers only showed them the way. Edison did not even finish primary school. But they were all so successful. They invented so many things for mankind. The reason for their success is that they knew how to study. They read books that were not taught at school . They would ask many questions as they read. They did thousands of experiments. They worked hard all their lives, wasting not a single moment. Above all , they knew how to use their brain.()1. People go to school to _______.A. learn several subjectsB. make a livingC. get an educationD. to learn a skill()2. According to the passage, the most important thing a teacher should do is________.A. to teach his students everything he knowsB. to know everythingC. to teach the students how to thinkD. to teach the students how to study by themselves()3. To work out a math problem ,you need to know ________.A. only a certain formulaB. how to memorize some factsC. only some factsD. the method to work it out()4.
