And if I was not told to have a seat 2 the teacher, I always chose to sit at the back of the classroom.All this changed after I joined a sports team. It began 3 a teacher suggested I join the basketball team. At first I thought it was a crazy idea because I didn’t have 4 good sense of balance. I didn’t think I have the ability to keep up with 5 in the team and they would laugh at me, 6 because the teacher kept insisting on (坚持) my “going for it”, I decided to give a try.Getting up the courage to try was only the half of it! When I first started 7 the practice courses, I didn’t even know the rules of the game. Sometimes I’d get confused (迷惑的) and take a shot at the wrong direction —8 made me feel really silly. 9 , I wasn’t the only one “new” at the game, so I decided to learn the game, do my best at each practice course, and not be too har d on myself for the things I didn’t know.I practiced and practiced. Soon I knew the rules and the “moves”. Being part of a team was not so difficult. Very soon the exciting part for me was WINNING though I didn’t have enough confidence. With time, I learn ed how to play and made friends 10 others. I never had so much 11 !With 12 self-confidence coming from more praise of teachers and classmates, ever since then, I 13 from “hiding” at the back of the classroom and not wanting any att ention to myself, to 14 my hand — even when I sometimes wasn’t sure I had the right answer.

I had put on one black shoe and one brown shoe!Henry: After seeing a film, we decided to walk along the street. The street was very busy and we started holding hands.

There was a loud scream(尖叫), and a girl slapped(掴)my face!I hadn't taken my wife's hand. I'd taken the hand of a girl!James: I had decided to buy a new house, and I'd made an appointment (约定)to see our bank manager. I'd never met him before. I was lucky enough to find a parking space outside the bank. I'd just started reversing(倒车) into the space when another car made its way into it. I was so angry! I shouted at the man in the car. He ignored(不理) me and walked away. It took me twenty minutes to find another place. I was ten minutes late for my appointment. I went to the manager's office, knocked and walked in.

Do you want to eat every delicious food in the world? Then do you watch the popular program A Bite of China? It’s a TV program on Chinese delicious food which has been produced by CCTV. Isthere any holiday that isn’t celebrated with special festival food? Here are several traditional Chinese foods: Noodles are a symbol of long life in Chinese culture. They are as much a part of Chinese birthday celebration as a birthday cake with its candles lit in many Western countries. Since noodles mean long life, it is considered very unlucky to cut it off.Although westerners sometimes may be very sorry to see fish lying on the plate, in China a whole fish is a symbol of richness. In fact, at a party it is a tradition to serve the whole fish last, pointed towards the most valued guest. Fish also has a special meaning because the Chinese word for fish, yu, sounds like the word for richness or plenty, and it is believed that eating fish will help your wishes come true in the year to come.A very popular dish during the Dragon Boat Festival is zongzi. This tasty dish is made of rice dumplings with meat, peanuts or other delicious food in bamboo leaves. The tradition of zongzi is meant to remind us of a great man, Qu Yuan in Chinese history.1.A Bite of China is ________.A.a magazine B.a newspaper C.a TV program2.According to the passage, in traditional Chinese culture, people will eat _______ on their birthdays.A.egg B.noodles C.cakes3.Fish has a special meaning in Chinese culture mainly because ________.A.It is served last at a partyB.it is pointed to the valued guestC.it sounds like the word yu in Chinese4.________ in the Dragon Boat Festival makes us think of Qu Yuan.A.Zongzi B.Meat C.Peanuts5.The article mainly talks about ________.A.Chinese food B.Chinese history C.Chinese languageD16、Can one paper bag change the world?

B.150. C.200. D.300.E17、Have you ever felt a strong emotion (情绪), but not been able to find the right word to describe it? Maybe there is a word for it, but you just don’t k now it yet. One man is trying to help fix this problem. University of East London psychology researcher Tim Lomas is making a list of words from different languages around the world. The words have no exact equivalent(对等的) words or phrases in the English language. Perhaps the most famous example is “schadenfreude”, the German word describing pleasure at the bad luck of others.Borrowing from as many languages as he could, Lomas searched for “untranslatable” experiences and published them in The Journal of Positive Psychology last year. His study is called the Positive Lexicography Project. Lomas has focused mostly on happy moments. He hopes that learning these words will enrich (使丰富) people’s lives. So now, thanks to the Portuguese(葡萄牙语), when you run your f ingers through a loved one’s hair you can call it “cafune”. Or you can usethe Spanish word “estrenar” to describe the feeling when you wear or use something for the first time. The Germans describe the good mood at the end of a working day as “feierabend”, while the Norwegians describe the feeling of sitting around a warm fireplace as “peiskos”.“The limits of our language are said to define the boundaries of our world,” Lomas wrote for The Conversation. “If we lack (缺乏) a word for a particular positive em otion, we are far less likely to experience it.”1.What is psychology researcher Tim Lomas working on?A.He is studying people’s strong emotions.B.He is improving the old English dictionaries.C.He is making a list of words to describe people’s emotions.D.He is trying to explain the differences between languages in the world.2.What does the underlined word “schadenfreude” in the first paragraph mean in Chinese?A.乐极生悲B.幸灾乐祸C.苦尽甘来D.火上浇油3.Which of the following is NOT true about Lomas’ study?A.He borrowed from many languages for his study.B.His studied “untranslatable” experiences.C.His study is called the Positive Lexicography Project.D.His study focused on sad moments in people’s daily life.4.The word “peiskos” describes the feeling _____.A.when you push your fingers through a loved one’s hairB.when you wear or use something for the first timeC.when a long working day comes to an endD.when you’re sitting around a warm fireplaceF18、“Text Neck is not just a texting problem,” said Dr. Dean Fishman. “Text Neck is a gaming problem. Text Neck is an e-mailing problem.”Fishman made up the term “Text Neck” in 2008 while examining a 17-year-old patient. The teen came in complaining of neck pain. Fishman noticed that the teen was sitting in a chair, bending (弯曲) over her smartphone,texting away. “I knew I had something,” Fishman said.A recent study published in Surgical Technology International’s 25th edition says texting may be hurting your back. The study found that bending your head to look at your mobile phone held in your hands can put up to 60 pounds of pressure (压力) on your neck. The average human head weighs 10 pounds in a right position – when your ears are over your shoulders. For every inch you bend your head forward, the pressure on your back doubles.Staying in the “forward head posture” can lead to many problems. Over time, it can even change the natural curve (曲线) of your neck.Dr. Michelle Collie, director of Performance Physical Therapy in Rhode Island, recently says Text Neck has increased very quickly, especially among her younger patients. According to the Kaiser Family Foundation, 8- to18-year-olds spend almost seven and a half hours using mobile device or desktop computer for fun every day.So what’s a smartphone-texting, laptop-loving guy to do?First, Collie said, is to pay attention to your body. Keep your feet flat on the floor, roll your shoulders back and keep your ears directly over them so your head isn’t bent forward. And use something to support the weight of a mobile device.Fishman’s Text Neck Institute created a mobile app to help you remember to avoid forward head posture. When your phone is held at a safe point, a green light shines. When you’re at risk for Text Neck, a red light appears.Most important is taking breaks from time to time while using any mobile device or desktop computer. About every 20 minutes, stand up, roll your shoulders and neck or go for a short walk to have a break.1.What might Fishman mean by saying “I knew I had something”?A.He had the same smartphone as the patient.B.He got a new name for the patient’s pain.C.He wanted to play a joke on the patient.D.He had the same idea with the patient.2.According to the passage, your head is in the right position when ______.A.you bend over your neck oftenB.your ears are over your shouldersC.you turn your neck to the other sideD.you put up more pressure on your neck3.The last three paragraphs are mainly talking about ______.A.how to make Text Neck appsB.what causes Text NeckC.how to avoid Text NeckD.the results of Text NeckⅤ.书面表达19、书面表达无锡被评为内地最宜居城市。

Writing第三部分阅读和写作VI.Reading comprehension(共30分)A.Choose the best answer.(12分)Should we allow modern buildings to be built next to older buildings in a historic area of acity?In order to answer this question,we must first examine whether people really want to preserve the historic feel of an area.Not all historical buildings are attractive.However,there may be other reasons—for example,economic reasons—why they should be preserved.So,let us assume that historical buildings are both attractive and important to the majority of people.What should we do then if a new building is needed?In my view,new architectural styles can exist perfectly well alongside an older style.Indeed, there are many examples in my own hometown of Tours where modern designs have been placed very successfully next to old buildings.As long as the building in question is pleasing and does not dominate(影响)its surroundings too much,it often improves the attractiveness of the area.It is true that there are examples of new buildings which have spoilt(破坏)the area they are in, but the same can be said of some old buildings too.Yet people still speak against new buildings in historic areas.I think this is simply because people are naturally conservative and do not like change.Although we have to respect people's feelings as fellow users of the buildings,I believe that it is the duty of the architect and planner to move things forward.If we always reproduced what was there before,we would all still be living in caves.Thus,I would argue against copying previous architectural styles and choose something fresh and different,even though that might be the more risky choice.69.What does the author say about historical buildings in the first paragraph?A.Some of them are not attractive.B.Most of them are too expensive to preserve.C.They are more pleasing than modern buildings.D.They have nothing to do with the historic feel of an area.70.Why do people still speak against new buildings in historic areas according to the author?A.Because historical buildings are both attractive and important to the majority of people.B.Because new architectural styles can exist perfectly well alongside an older style.C.Because people like following old ideas and do not like change.D.Because people have to respect new architectural styles.71.Which of the following is true according to the author?A.We should reproduce the same old buildings.B.Buildings should not dominate their surroundings.C.Some old buildings have spoilt the area they are in.D.No one understands why people speak against new buildings.72.By using`“move things forward”in the last paragraph,the author probably means“_______”.A.Destroy old buildingsB.Put things in a different placeC.Choose new architectural stylesD.Respect people’s feelings for historical buildings73.What is the main purpose of the passage?A.To explain why people dislike change.B.To warn that we could end up with living in caves.C.To admit how new buildings have ruined their surroundings.D.To argue that modern buildings an be built in historic areas.74.What is the author’s attitude towards the topic“Should we allow modern buildings to be builtnext to older buildings in a historic area of a city?”A.UninterestedB.SupportiveC.NeutralD.DisapprovedB.Choose the words or expressions and complete the passage.(12分)In1973,I was teaching elementary school.Each day,27kids entered“The Thinking Laboratory.”That was the name students voted for after deciding that“Room104”was too dull.Freddy was an average student,but not an average

when someone knocked at the classroom door.A woman excused the interruption and handed me an envelope.I stopped teaching and opened it up.Inside were the“Verbs”shirt and a note from Freddy’s

elevator is an unremarkable machine that inspires none of the enthusiasm or interest that Americans afford trains,jets,and even bicycles.Dr.Christopher Wilk is a member of a small group of elevator experts who c___81___this a misunderstanding.Without the elevator,they point out,there could be no downtown skyscrapers or tall buildings,and city life as we know it would be i___82___.In that sense,they argue,the elevator’s role in American history has been no less significant than that of cars.In fact,according to Wilk?the car and the elevator have been locked in a“secret war”for over a century,with cars making it possible for people to spread horizontally(水平地),and elevators pushing them toward life in close groups of towering vertical(垂直的)columns.If we tend to ignore the significance of elevators,it might be because riding in them tends to be such a brief,boring,and even awkward experience one that can involve unexpectedly meeting people with whom we have nothing in common,and an unpleasant a____83__of the fact thatwe’re hanging from a cable in a long passage.In a new book,Lifted,German journalist and cultural studies professor Andreas Bernard directed all his

are still not used to it”,Bernard said.“We still have not exactly learned to cope with the mixture of closeness and displeasure.”That mixture,according to Bernard, sets the elevator ride apart from just about every other s___86____we find ourselves in as we go about our lives.Today,as the world’s urban population explodes,and cities become more c__87____, taller,and more crowded,America’s total number of elevators—900,000at last count,according to Elevator World magazine’s“2012Vertical Transportation Industry”一are a force that’s becoming more important than ever.And for the people who

century, people’s IQ test scores have gotten steadily higher---on average,three points higher each decade. This improvement is known as the“Flynn effect”,and scientists want to know what is behind it.IQ tests are designed to measure general intelligence rather than knowledge.Flynn believes that intelligence partly comes from our parents and partly is the result of our environment,but the improvement in test scores has been happening too quickly to be explained by heredity(遗传). So what has occurred in the20th century to help people achieve higher scores?Scientists have proposed several explanations for the Flynn effect.Some suggest that the improved test scores simply reflect an increased exposure to tests in general and the learning of test-taking techniques that help us perform better on any test.Others have pointed to better nutrition.Babies now are born larger,healthier,and with more brain development than in the past. Another suggested explanation is a change in educational styles,with teachers encouraging children to learn by discovering things for themselves rather than just memorizing information, which improves their problem-solving skills.Flynn has limited the possible explanations after carefully examining test data and discovering that the improvement in scores has taken place in only certain parts of the IQ test.Test-takers are not doing better on the maths or vocabulary sections of the test;they are doing better on the sections requiring reasoning and problem solving.For example,one part of the test shows a set of shapes,and test-takers must find the patterns and connections between them.According to Flynn,this visual intelligence improves as the amount of technology in our lives increases.Every time you play a computer game,you are exercising exactly the kind of thinking and problem solving that helps you do well on one kind of intelligence test.So are you really smarter than your parents?In one very specific way,you may be.Questions88.Does Flynn think you are smarter than your parents and grandparents?(1分)89.What do IQ tests focus on,general intelligence or knowledge?(2分)90.How do educational styles help people do better in the test according to some scientists?(2分)91.Which sections did the test takers do better in the test on?(2分)92.Why does the writer mention computer games?(2分)93.Do you agree with Flynn?Why or why not?(3分)参考答案26-30DBADD31-35DBABB36-40ADABA41-45CADDC46.D47.A48.E49.B50.C51.A52.B53.E54.trickier55.habitual56.essence57.skillfully58.respetable59.exchange60.electricity61.requirements62.Did,stick63.It's,since64.am woken65.isn't it66.What important67.preferred,to 69.A70.C71.C72.C73.D74.B75.A76.A77.D78.C79.D80.B81.consider82.impossible83.awareness84.attention85.relationship86.situation87. crowded88.Yes,he does89.General intelligence90.By increasing exposure to tests and learning test-taking techniques.91.The sections requiring reasoning and problem solving92.To prove that increasing the amount of technology in our lives can improve the visual intelligence.93.略。

I'd love to.C.That sounds like a good idea.D.I'll be glad to help you.二、用单词的正确形式完成短文To be a successful speaker is no easy thing. It is essential for you to know why you are speaking and what you wish to 21.by your speech. The four most common purposes of speech are to inform, to convince, to move to action, and to entertain. Do you, like a teacher or an expert in a field, wish to illustrate your ideas in detail to people unfamiliar with your subject so that they can understand your ideas clearly and thoroughly? Or, like a debater, with to 22.the judges or the audience? Or, like a fund collector for a naturalist foundation, wish to get money? Or, like a comedian or after-dinner speaker, wish to 23.? The language and tone you use must be proper for your purpose, for your audience, and for the occasion. A speech to the graduating class will have quite different language, tone and manner from information delivered to a group of your friends.Furthermore, however talented the speaker is, a talk without enough preparation is usually a failure. To speak without preparing is to 24.without taking aim. Decide what your aim or objective is; then state it in a complete topic sentence. Make sure that your subject is definite and not too broad.Camping wild is a wonderful way to experience the natural world and, at its best, it makes little environmental influence. But with 25.numbers of people wanting to escape into the wilderness, it is becoming more and more important to camp unobtrusively and leave no mark.Wild camping is not permitted in many places, 26.in crowded lowland Britain. Wherever you are, find out about organizations 27.for managing wild spaces, and contact them to find out their policy on camping and shelter building. For example, it is fine to camp wild in remote parts of Scotland, but in England you must ask the landowner’s permission, except in national parks.Camping is about having relaxation, sleeping outdoors, 28.bad weather, and making food without modern conveniences. A busy, fully-equipped campsite seems to go against this, so seek out smaller, more remote places with easy access to open spaces and perhaps beaches. Better still, find a campsite with no road access: walking in makes a real adventure.三、用所给单词的正确形式填空Complete the sentences with the given words in their proper forms(用括号中所给单词的适当形式完成下列句子,每空格限填一次)29.The beautiful poetry was ruined by her poor ________.(deliver)30.I can say in all _______ that I knew nothing of these plans.(sincerely)31.It would be ________ of me not to advise my company to abandon this project.(responsibility)32.He was of great ________ to me in researches for my books.(assist)33.Parents may find that a ________ teenager becomes unmanageable.(trouble)34.Success doesn’t only depend on what you do. What you don’t do is _____ important.(equality)35.For the sake of historical _________, please permit us to state the true facts.(accurate)36.Many students apply for ________ to more than one university.(admit)四、完成句子Complete the following sentences as required(根据所给要求完成句子)37.People set up a lot of new schools after the flood.(改为否定句)People didn’t ________ up _________ new schools after the flood.38.Mary didn’t go back in a hurry.

上海市上宝中学英语阅读理解专项练习试卷一、中考英语阅读理解1.阅读短文,从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中,选出最佳选项。
As we all know, English is an important subject in middle school. Everyone knows that they must learn English well, but some people don't know how to learn it well. Here are some suggestions which may help you with your English.The biggest problem is people's own fear. They worry that they won't say things correctly or that they will look foolish so that they don't speak English at all. Don't be afraid of being laughed at. Only if we aren't afraid of making mistakes can we learn English well.The fastest way to learn something is to do it again and again until you get it right. Learning English needs practice. Don't let a little fear stop you from getting what you want.The best way to learn English is to have a good environment. Take notes in English, put English books around your room, listen to English radios, watch English news, movies and TV programs. Speak English with your friends whenever you can. The more English materials that you have around you, the faster you will learn it.Many people think that exercises and tests aren't much fun. However, by doing exercises and taking tests you can really improve your English. If you never test yourself, you will never know how much you are making progress.(1)The biggest problem of learning English is ________.A. not knowing how to learnB. being afraid of being laughed atC. looking foolishD. making mistakes(2)The fastest way to learn English well is ________.A. practicing over and over againB. listening to it every dayC. going over the fearD. going to a foreign country(3)To create a good environment, you need to do many things except ________.A. putting English books around your roomB. listening to English radiosC. watching English news and moviesD. speaking English with your friends only in class(4)According to the passage, English exercises and tests are ________.A. very necessaryB. not helpful at allC. very boringD. not important(5)How many suggestions on how to learn English are mentioned according to the passage?A.

Then we can use the electricity.A lot of people think that wind power is new, but that's not true.For thousands of years, people have used wind to sail boats and move water. We still do those things today, but these days we mostly use wind power to make electricity.windmillsWind power is a very popular source of energy. Most people think that we should use it more and more. First of all, it's clean. Windmills don't pollute the environment at all. Second, we can use wind power forever. After all, we will always have wind. Also, wind power is cheap, and it's getting even cheaper.A lot of people don't understand wind power very well. They believe that there are problems with wind power, but many of those problems are not real. For example, some people say that windmills are dangerous for birds. They used to be true, but it isn't true anymore. Old windmills killed birds because they spun very fast. New windmills spin slowly, and they aren't dangerous for birds.However, there are real problems with windmills. One problem is that many people think windmills are very ugly. This is a problem for people, because windmills are often in very pretty areas. Also, wind doesn't blow all the time, so we can't use wind power all the time. Finally, windmills are noisy.Wind power is becoming more and more common. Right now, more than 80 countries use wind power. About 2.5 percent of the world's power comes from the wind. For some countries, that number is a lot higher. Wind power gives Denmark more than 25 percent of its electricity.(1)Why DON'T new windmills kill birds? Because .A. birds don't fly near themB. they spin slowlyC. they are shorter than old windmillsD. new windmills don't spin(2)When did people start using wind power?A. About 25 years ago.B. About 80 years ago.C. About 500 years ago.D. Over 1,000 years ago.(3) , so we CAN'T use wind power all the time.A. Windmills break all the timeB. We can't use windmills at nightC. Windmills are too expensive to use all the timeD. Wind doesn't blow all the time(4)What does the article say about wind power?A. Most people don't like it.B. It's getting cheaper.C. Denmark doesn't use it.D. It's getting more expensive.(5)What is the best title for the passage?A. Expensive WindmillsB. Cheap and Clean EnergyC. Popular and Clean Wind PowerD. Dangerous Birds3.阅读理解Do you often listen to music at loud volumes(音量)? Over one billion(十亿)young people are at risk of hearing loss (失聪)because of listening to loud noise for long periods of time. Listening to music or watching a TV show at loud volumes is harmful to your hearing.The United Nations has standards for safe listening. It is not safe to listen to sounds that are louder than 85 decibels(dB 分贝) for eight hours or 100 dB for 15 minutes. The sound of a busy road is about 85 dB and the sound of a rock concert can be about 100 dB.Loud noise is harmful to the inner ears(内耳). most of us are born with about 16,000 hair cells(听毛细胞) in our inner ears. However, listening to loud noise for a long time can make these cells work too hard and cause some of them to die. This is what causes hearing loss.Some people might think that their music isn't all that loud. But this can depend on where you are. For example, if you are in a noisy place like the subway, you might turn up your music too loud without realizing it. Later, when you listen to it at the same volume in a quiet place, you might feel uncomfortable.The World Health Organization said the "safe level" for most sounds is below 80 dB for up to 40 hours a week. A level of 80 dB is roughly equal to(大约相当于) the noise of a subway.(1)Many young people are at risk of hearing loss because they .A. watch TV every dayB. listen to music every dayC. listen to loud noise in the subwayD. listen to loud noise for a long time(2)The sound level of a rock concert is about .A. 80 dBB. 85 dBC. 100 dBD. 110 dB(3)What is loud noise harmful to?A. The inner ears.B. The brain.C. The heart.D. The eyes.(4)What can you learn from the passage?A. We feel comfortable when listening to loud music in a quiet place.B. Most people are born with about 1, 600 hair cells in the inner ear.C. It is not safe to listen to sounds that are louder than 85 dB for 15 minutes.D. Below 80 dB for up to 40 hours a week is the "safe level" for most sounds.(5)What is the best title of the passage?A. Keep the Loud VolumesB. Loud Noise Is Harmful to HearingC. The Risk of Listening to MusicD. Loud Noise Stops Ears from Working4.阅读理解When it comes to helping developing countries, we often think about offering money in order that they can build schools and hospitals, buy food and medicine, or find clean water supplies. These seem to be the most important basic needs in their lives. However, it's far from enough. We have to come up with better ideas.A man called Nicholas Negroponte invented a cheap laptop computer, which he decided to invent after he visited a school in Cambodia. The laptop which Mr. Negroponte has designed is not the same as the normal one that you can buy in the shops. One difference is that it will be covered in rubber so that it is strong and won't be damaged easily. As an electricity supply can be a problem in developing countries, the computer also has a special handle in order that children can wind the computer up to give it extra power when needed.This special laptop computer will cost less than 100 US dollars and Mr. Negroponte wants to produce as many as 15 million laptop computers in the first year. The idea is that these computers will help the children's education as they will be able to access the Internet. These computers might not benefit the people in developing countries immediately, but by improving children's education they should help people to find their own solutions to their problems in the long term.Another idea to help children in developing countries is to recycle old mobile phones so that they can be used again. In the UK. And probably in many other countries too, millions of mobile phones are thrown away every year. The waste crested by throwing away thee old phones is very bed for the environment, so it seems to be an excellent idea to achieve two important goals at the same time. We will reduce the waste we produce and help others. In other words, we will be able to" kill two birds with one "and that is always a good thing.(1)The underlined phrase "wind up" in paragraph 2 means .A. 吹风B. 给……上发条C. 摇上D. 利用空气……使……(2)The laptop computer that Mr. Negroponte has designed .A. will be damaged much easier than the normal oneB. has a special handle to access the InternetC. is cheap and can run with extra powerD. can be helpful to find the people's own solutions(3)According to the passage,what benefit can we get from recycling old mobile phones?A. We can reduce the waste to protect the environment.B. We can help children in developing countries reuse the old mobile phones.C. it is good for the environment and very educative for phone users.D. It not only reduces the waste produced by developed countries but also helps the children in developing countries.(4)Mr. Negroponte's cheap computer is mentioned in the passage to .A. illustrate the kindness of people in the developed countriesB. tell us what high technology can help peopleC. show how to find business opportunities in developing countriesD. give an example of how to help developing countries(5)Which is the best idea the author gives us to help the developing countries?A. We need to help people in developing countries to help themselves,not just throw money at the problem.B. We should spend much money helping people in developing countries build more schools and hospitals.C. We should think about giving help to developing countries more often.D. We should help the people in developing countries by improving children's education immediately.5.阅读理解The date——July 22, 2018—has meaning to Cui Qingtao, a boy of seventeen. He will remember it forever.Cui Qingtao was working at a construction site(建筑工地) with his parents on Sunday when he received his admission letter(录取通知书) from Peking University, which is considered as one of the best universities in China.In last year's gaokao, the young man from a poor family scored 669 points and applied for(申请) Peking University, where he was accepted as a student in the School of Journalism(新闻)and Communication.Cui's home is in a small village in southwest China's Yunnan Province. He is the family's oldest son, with a younger brother in high school and a sister in the fourth grade.Cui is a caring son. To support his family, he'd get up at 3 o'clock in the morming to water plants in the family's greenhouses with his brother when he came home during the school breaks. On Sunday, Cui's family were doing construction work when he saw the letter. Cui and his family were excited as they finally received the admission letter, which they had expected for a long time.Cui Qingtao made his parents very proud because neither of them went to university. When his mother read the admission letter to his father, who cannot read, a big smile appeared on his father's face."No pain, no gain(不劳无获)Don' t complain what a terrible life you have. As long as you work hard and try your best, your dream may come true. Now I'm leaving my home village for college, but I'll return and some day change the poor conditions of our village, "Cui said.His starting point is different from other students, but I hope his future will be bright, "one Internet user said on Chinese social media (媒体)site Weibo.(1)Where was Cui Qingtao when he got his admission letter?A.

上宝中学初三英语之首字母阅读练习10篇
上宝中学初三首字母阅读练习10篇(1)When an animal helps another animal, it usually gets something valuable in return. For a long time, many scientists thought that only people could act generously just because it feels good.However, a new s 1 in Germany suggests that chimpanzees (an animal like a large monkey without a tail) also do good things for no real reason. And so do children who are as young as 18 months of age. Maybe it is because humans and chimpanzees s 2 an ancestor about 6 million years ago.People and chimpanzees appear to develop such features without any other t 3 , says Warneken, a scientist in Germany.Warneken and his partners worked on adult chimpanzees that live on an island in the African country of Uganda. They also worked with 18-month-old children in Germany. The researchers performed three experiments on the adult chimpanzees and two experiments on the kids. In the first a 4 experiment,a person tried to reach his arm into a cage to get a stick,but he couldn’t reach it. A chimpanzee was in the cage,and it could reach the stick if it wanted to.Thirty-six chimpanzees took part in this experiment one by one, and no chimpanzee saw what the other chimpanzees had done. Even though the animals hadn’t m 5 the person before, they usually took the stick and gave it to the person. What’s more, they did this whether or not the person offered them bananas as a reward.In the next experiment, 36 children acted in a s 6 way. They helped the person reach the stick, whether or not they were offered toys for their help.Researchers did other experiments on chimpanzees and babies. No rewards were offered in either experiment. And s 7 , both the chimpanzees and children went out of their way to help. Still, the new study is different from earlier findings. Researchers have found that chimpanzees don’t give rewards of food to other chimpanzees, even if it costs them nothing to be generous.(2)Mary Kay is a well-known American businesswoman. Her company, Mary Kay Cosmetics Inc. , is a very successful company which s 1 cosmetics (化妆品) andemploys people all over the world. She became successful through hard work and she has a strong belief in herself.Mary Kay was born in America. Soon after she started school, her father became ill. Her mother worked 14 hours a day in a restaurant to s 2 the family. Mary Kay had to do housework, cook, and take care of her father.After high school, her family couldn't afford to send her to college. So she got married and started a family. Then she started her sales career. At first, she sold books. Later, she visited people's homes to sell home care products. Mary Kay was successful selling those products. Her managers praised her work but never raised her pay. It t 3 her that men didn't believe that a woman could succeed in business. She decided to prove them wrong.In 1963, Mary Kay started her own company. It sold many skin care and beauty products. Today the company has sales of more than 1,000 million dollars and employs more than 800,000 sales representatives in 37 countries around the world and most of them are w 4 .Mary Kay shared with her employees her life motto—Belief first; Family second; Career third. Ever y year, she held an “Awards Night” and awarded a pink Cadillac car, diamond jewelries and 5-star vacations to s 5 employees. She praised them, not just money. The company wantswomen to feel good about themselves.May Kay died in 2001. She was a tough businesswoman w 6 a great knowledge of marketing and sales. Through her belief in women’s abilities and her willingness to give them a chance, she made the d 7 of a successful career come true for hundreds of thousands of women all over the world.(3)Early that morning, Tom didn't go to work as usual. He thought he had caught a cold and phoned the restaurant to ask for leave. But Tom didn't really feel ill enough to stay in bed. I 1 , he decided to go to the new shopping mall to buy a watch. The mall was interesting so he spent a few hours looking around. He felt h 2 and bought some popcorn(爆米花). Suddenly a large red and blue parrot appeared above him and came down again and again to eat the popcorn from Tom's packet.Tom was rather surprised, but he had seen the bird show at Ocean Park. He stretched out his arm and the parrot flew down and happily climbed onto his shoulder, and then onto his head.The parrot was quite friendly. So Tom just stood there w 3 the parrot on his head.The crowd of people grew and grew. A newspaper reporter heard the noise, saw the crowd and decided to investigate. This is what happened: the parrot escaped from the o 4 flat by flying out of the window. It enjoyed itself during the daytime, but when evening came the bird tried to find its home, without success.By the time the parrot found Tom, it had been free for two days and it was very hungry. It had had a drink from the f 5 but it hadn't had anything to eat at all. Popcorn was not its favorite food, but there was nothing else. So when it saw Tom, it was very p 6 . It wanted a friend, it needed some food and it was hoping to go home.Several hours later, the SPCA contacted (联系) the owner. He came to the mall with a bag of peanuts, which the parrot liked even better than popcorn. He put the peanuts into a cage and the parrot hopped in.Tom r 7 at last. He was tired and hungry, but the Parrot's owner thanked him and even gave him a reward—just enough to buy the watch.(4)It was a sunny summer Saturday. The sun shone down upon the grassland roundClover Farm.Robby, the eldest of the farmer’s four children, wasnot happy.“Come on, Robby, tell me the t 1 ,” called out his mother from the house where she was at work.Robby answered, “Mother, I don’t want to take the children to the grassland. I want to please myself!”“Who told you to take the children to the grassland --- Father?” Mother asked.“Yes, it was. He said I was to take them to play on the grassland, and not to leave there until he came back from the market.”“And what is it you want to do instead?”“I want to go with my net down to Butterfly Corner. There will be lots of butterflies out this sunny day. And the other boys at school are all c 2 . They have more than I do.”“Oh, dear! But I can guess why he gave those orders. He knew that this is a very busy day forme,” his mother said. “And as this is market-day at the town, he would be away until dinner time. So, you see, he has left you in charge. You are in Father’s p 3 this morning to guard the farm and all of us, especially the little kids. Don’t you think it’s an honor to be so trusted (信任)?”Something h 4 in Robby’s heart because of his mother’s words. He walked quietly away. After all, what were the butterflies compared with the kids left in his charge? “Hip, hip, hooray!” Robby cheered. He had won a victory --- o 5 himself.“Hi, Nettie! Hi, Dumps! Come along ! And where’s Baby ? We’re going to the grassland, and I’ll teach you to play a new game!” he shouted.The four kids enjoyed a happy day.At the dinner table, Father showed the family a new bike. He said to Robby, “Now I’ll tell you w 6 I wanted you to stay at home this morning. It was for this surprise. Look, my boy! For weeks back I’ve been planning to buy this bicycle for you. Today I bought it, and it’s yours!”For a few seconds Robby could not believe his eyes. The good, kind father had been planning for this boy’s p 7 ! “Oh, Father!” he cried.(5)Life in an American high school is an interesting and exciting learning experience. High school in America is not just a p 1 for studying some subjects. It is also an important social center, where students can develop other interests and talents.The high school is d 2 into four years. The teenager usually starts school at about 8 am ,and ends at about 3 pm. There’s no school on Saturday.Students have lunch at the school cafeteria, where they can choose from a variety of good things to eat and drink. After lunch they play a sport, talk to friends or s 3 relax. The lunch break lasts about an hour.When the school day ends, some students go home, but many still stay at school for after-school activities. There are many activities and clubs to choose. With the headmaster’s agreement, students can start any kind of club that is e 4 and fun!In the afternoon many students practice sports with the school team. Sports are an important part of high school life. It’s an honour (荣誉)to play on the school team.American high school students like to be "popular". This m 5 being a good student, being active in the community and being well-liked by others. Popularstudents are elected to take part in student government. Every year in June there are prizes for the best athletes and the best athletes.There are many social e 6 such as Spring Dance and School Picnic during the school year which involve (涉及) the whole school and the teachers.Most American high school students have a part-time job during the school year and a full-time job during the summer. Parents encourage their children to work b 7 its part of growing up and becoming responsible and independent.Most high schools have a job list to help students find work. Teenagers are fond of their jobs!(6)It seems like a magic trick sometimes. One day you walk down a street in Shanghai lined with old buildings. The next week you walk down the s 1 street and all the buildings are gone. It’s as if a magician had waved his wand: now you see it, now you don’t. And the next week themagician has done his work again, because that same street if now lined with high rise apartments and shopping malls.Urban redevelopment (城市改造) is a f 2 of life in all of China’s cities. There has been arush to become modern and to improve the living standards of Chinese people. But, as in most cases, when something is g 3 , something is also lost. In this case, what is lost is the connection to history that many old buildings represent.During the Spring Festival a traditional courtyard house (siheyuan) in Beijing was pulled down. Ironically (讽刺的是) , it had been the home of Liang Sicheng (梁思成) , an architect in the early twentieth century who had f 4 hard to preserve (保护) old buildings. The developer who tore down the house apologized and said he would rebuild it. But rebuilding history is not the same as preserving it. It’s like the farmer who said he was s 5 using the same axe that his great grandfather used a hundred years ago although, he admitted, the head of the axe had been replaced twice and the handle three times.Buildings are usually preserved for two reasons: they are e 6 architecturally interesting or they have a connection to a famous person or event. Shanghai has listed nearly four hundred buildings as worthy of historical preservation. Some, such as Mayfair Mansions on Suzhou Creek ( 苏州河 ) , have had a great influence on m 7 Western architecture. Others, such as Soong Ching Ling’s villa on Huaihai Road, provide us with a link to the founding of New China.So we shouldn’t be in a rush to tear them all down.(7)Steve Jobs died at the age of 56, after a very long battle with cancer. His d 1 was mourned by millions of people worldwide. He was a businessman, but he was the “Michael Jackson” of businessmen. His Apple products were like songs that touched people’s hearts and changed their lives. Jobs was not an i 2 , but he was an innovator (革新者) and a man with a great vision. He took technology that others had invented anddesigned products that had great style and were easy for people to use. And he made Apple products seem cool! The iMac, iPod, iPhone and iPad were always the c 3 products on the market.Steve Jobs was also a good example of “The American Dream.”He came from humble beginnings. He had been adopted as a child by a working class family in California. He didn’t have a good education. I 4 , he dropped out of college early on and started Apple in his garage. But his success was soon followed by adversity.Jobs was fired as CEO of the company in 1985, but that setback (挫折) did not stop him. Jobs built a new computer company and also started Pixar (皮克斯动画工作室) which produced the hit movies Toy Story and Finding Nemo. Later, when Apple was struggling, Jobs was brought back to s 5 the company—and he did it!Jobs is really a great role model for young people. He had a dream and he tool chances ( even f 6 chances, he admitted ) to achieve that dream. He suffered setbacks in business and in his health, but he refused to let those setbacks dampen (阻止) his desire of achieving his dream. In the end, he l 7 some inspirational words for young innovators: “Stay hungry, stay foolish!”(8)I once knew a man who was rich in his love for birds, and in turn earned their lovefor him.He lived in the midst of a grove (小树林) full of all kinds of trees. He had no wife or children in his home.He was an old man with a gray beard, blue and kind eyes, and a voice that the birds loved; and this was the w 1 he made them his friends.While he was at work in the grove, the birds came close to him to pick up the worms in the fresh earth he dug up. At first, they k 2 some distance from him, but they soon found he was a kind man, and would not hurt them, but liked to have them near him.They knew this by his kind eyes and voice, which told w 3 was in the heart. So, day by day their faith in his love grew in them.They came close to the rake. They would hop on top of it to be first at the worm. They would turn up their eyes into his when he spoke to them, as if they said, “He is a kind man; he loves us; we need not fear him.” All the birds of the grov e were s 4his fast friends. They were on the watch for him, and would fly down from the green tree tops to greet him with their chirp (喳喳声,唧唧声).When he had n 5 work to do with his rake or his hoe, he took crustsof bread with him, and dropped the crumbs on the ground. Down they would dart on his head and feet to catch the crumbs as they fell from his hand.He s 6 me how they loved him. He put a crust of bread in his mouth, holding it between his lips. Down they came like bees at a flower, and flew off with it crumb by crumb.When they though he slept too long in the morning, they would fly in and sit on the bedpost, and call him with their chirp.They went with him to church, and while he said his prayers and sang his hymns, they sat in the trees, and sang their praises to the same good God who cares for them as he does for us.Thus the love and trust of birds were a j 7 to him all his life long; and such love and trust no boy or girl can fail to win with the same kind heart, voice and eye that he had.(9)This year some twenty-three teenagers from all over the world will spend aboutten months in US homes. They will attend USA schools, meet US teenagers, and form impressions of the r 1 America. At the same time, about thirteen hundred American teenagers will go to other countries to learn new languages and gain a new understanding of the rest of the world.Here is a two - way student e 2 in action. Fred, a boy of nineteen, spent last year in Germany with George’s family. In turn, George’s son Mike spent a year in Fred’s home in America.Fred, a lively young man, knew little German when he arrived, but after two months’ study, the l 3 began to come to him. School was completely different from what he expected-much harder. Students took fourteen subjects instead of the six that are usual in the United States. There were a 4 no outside activities.Family life too, was different. The father’s word was law, and all activities were a 5 the family not a certain member of the family. Fred found the food too simple at first. Also, he missed having a car.“Back home, you pick up some friends in a car and go out and have a good time. In Germany, you w 6 , but you soon learn to like it.”At the same time in America, Mike, a friendly German boy, was also forming his idea.“Isuppose the lessons in American schools are too easy by our level,” he says. “But I have to say that I like it very much. In Germany we do nothing but study. Here we take part in many outside activities. I think that maybe your schools are b 7 in training for citizens. ” There ought to be some middle ground between the two.(10)Do you want to improve the way you study? Do you feel nervous before a test? Many students say that a lack of concentration is their biggest p 1 . It seriously affects their ability to study, so do their test results.If so, use these tips to helpyou. Study TechniquesYou should always study in the s 2 place. You shouldn't sit in a position that you use for another purpose. For example, when you sit on a sofa to study, your brain will think it is time to relax. Don't watch TV while you are studying. Experts w 3 that your concentration may be reduced by 50 percent if you attempt to study in this way. Always try to have a white wall in front of you, so there is nothing to distract (make less concentrated) you. Before sitting down to study, gather together all the equipment you need. Apart from your textbooks, pens, pencils and knives, make sure you have a dictionary. If your study desk or table is needed when you are not studying, s 4 all your equipment in a box beside it.Your eyes will become tired if you try to read a text which is on a flat surface. Position your book at an angle of 30 degrees.Be realistic and don't try to complete too much in one study period. Finish one thing before beginning another. If you need a b 5 , get up and walk around for a few minutes, but try not to telephone a friend or have something to eat.Test-taking SkillsAll your hard work will be for n 6 if you are too nervous to take your test. Getting plenty of rest is very important. This means do not study all night before your test! It is a better idea to have a long-term study plan. Try to make a timetable for your study which lasts for a few m onths.Exercise is a great way to reduce pressure. Doing some form of exercise every day will also improve your concentration. Eat healthy food, too.When you arrive in the examination room, find your seat and sit down. Breathe slowly and deeply. Check the time on the clock during the test, but not too o 7 . Above all, take no notice of everyone else and give the test paper your undivided attention.答案:(1)study、share、training、animal、met、similar、still(2)sells、support、taught、women、 successful、with、dream(3)Instead、hungry、with、owner's、 fountain、 pleased、relaxed(4)trouble、collecting、place、happened、over、shy、pleasure (5)place、divided、simply、educational、means、events、because (6)same、fact 、gained、fought、still、either、modern(7)death、inventor、coolest、Instead、save、foolish、left (8)way、kept、what、soon、no、showed、joy(9)real、exchange、language、almost、around、walk、better (10)problem、same、warn 、store、break 、nothing、often。

But America's new tennis star has moved with remarkable speed.When he was nine years old, his parents took him to watch the US Open. On September, 2003, just 12 years after this first visit, Roddick became the champion himself. In the year that his hero Sampras retired, a new American champion arrived.“I still don't believe I've won.” said the 21-year-old man.”I'm confused by how calm I felt out there.”Roddick wasn't a child tennis star. He simply followed his tennis-playing brother around and didn't take the sport too seriously.But he finished 2000 as the world's number one junior player, and turned professional in the same year, aged 18.He had all the skills needed to succeed at the highest level, including the most dangerous weapon in tennis: his serve. Travelling at 146km per hour, it would be fined for speeding on a European highway.However, he had problems staying focused when on court and was called “Kid Roddick” for his bad behavior. He would break rackets in anger and completely lost his temper after a quarter-final defeat in the 2001 US Open.When he lost in the first round of the French Open in June, many people said he would neverreach the very top.Not any more. All those who put him down now say he is ”The future of American tennis”. But Roddick has grown up a lot and refuses to get carried away with his success.“I just want to keep playing and work hard to improve my game,” he said.”Who knows what the future will hold? I'm just going to try my best and we'll see what happens.”21. The word “speed” in the first paragraph re fers to____.A. his running speedB. the speed of his servesC. the speed that he becomes a rising tennis starD. all the above22. The last sentence in Paragraph 6 shows that____.A. his serves are fastB. he paid no attention to speed limitC. he ran too fastD. once he got fined for speeding23. Why did people think Roddick would never reach the top at first?A. He travelled too fast and got tinedB. He was too youngC. His performance was unstableD. He let his temper control him24. Roddick's words in the fast paragraph showed that ____.A. he was confident of himselfB. he was not sure of himselfC. he didn't get carried away with successD. he was already thinking of the futureCSurprisingly, no one knows how many children receive education in English hospitals, still less the content or quality of that education. Proper records are jus t not kept.We know that more than 850.000 children go through hospital each year, and that every child of school age has a legal right to continue to receive education while in hospital. We also know there is only one hospital teacher to every 1,000 children in hospital.Little wonder the latest survey concludes that the extent and type of hospital teaching available differ a great deal across the country. It is found that half the hospitals in England which admit children have no teacher. A further quarter have only a part-time teacher. The special children’s hospitals in major cities do best; general hospitals in the country and holiday areas are worst off. From this survey, one can estimate that fewer than one in five children have some contact with a hospital teacher—and that contact may be as little as two hour s a day. Most children interviewed were surprised to find a teacher in hospital at all. They had not been prepared for it by parents or their own school. If there was a teacher they were much more likely to read books and do math or number work; without a teacher they would only play games.Reasons for hospital teaching range from preventing a child falling behind and maintaining the habit of school to keeping a child occupied, and the latter is often all the teacher can do. The position and influence of man y teachers was summed up when parents referred to them as “thelibrary lady” or just “the helper”.Children tend to rely on concerned school friends to keep in touch with school work. Several parents spoke of requests for work being ignored or refused by the school. Once back at school children rarely get extra teaching, and are told to catch up as best they can.Many short-stay child-patients catch up quickly. But schools do very little to ease the anxiety about falling behind expressed by many of the children interviewed.25.The author points out at the beginning that___.A. every child in hospital receives some teachingB. not enough is known about hospital teachingC. hospital teaching is of poor qualityD. the special children’s hospitals are wors t off26. It can be inferred from the latest survey that___.A. hospital teaching across the country is similarB. each hospital has at least one part-time teacherC. all hospitals surveyed offer education to childrenD. only one-fourth of the hospitals have full-time teachers27. Children in hospital usual1y turn to ___in order to catch up with their school work.A. hospital teachersB. schoolmatesC. parentsD. school teachers28. We can conclude from the passage that the author is___.A. unfavorable towards children receiving education in hospitalsB. in favor of the present state of teaching in hospitalsC. unsatisfied with the present state of hospital teachingD. satisfied with the results of the latest surveyDDirections: Read the following text and choose the most suitable heading from A –F for eachHow They Stay Young29.________________When Dr David Weeks,a clinical neuron-psychologist at the Royal Edinburgh Hospital in Scotland.wanted to look into the secrets of eternal(永久的)youth ,he advertised for subjectswho looked younger than their age.An independent panel examined photographs of respondents,and selected 3,500 people who looked on average l2 to 14 years younger than their actual age to take part in the study.30.________________These subjects were studied for eight years.The main aim of the study was to discover whether environment or heredity had more effect on the ageing process.The conclusion was that genetic programming is the main factor.But the study also showed that avoiding stress can slow down the ageing process.31.________________Stress seems to have an immediate effect on appearance.A separate study of middle-aged women showed that women suffering from serious stress looked older in just a few months.Yet when the problem causing the stress was removed,they very quickly looked younger.32.________________Here is a list of the factors that Dr.Weeks found that allowed his subjects to lead less stressful lives than others.First,they tend to have happy relationships with their partners.These relationships are based on trust and empathy,and provide security and comfort when dealing with stressful problems.Secondly,they tended to avoid sources of hostility instead of allowing them to make them angry.33.________________Next, they seem to have a good sense of humor.They like to have fun,and are enthusiastically involved in a variety of hobbies.They also seemed less willing to conform to others’ ideas.They prefer to think for themselves.They tend to have a good attitude towards health and exercise as well.They avoid the sun,do not smoke, and eat a healthy diet.So these are the secrets of the “ super-young”:a loving relationship.Regular exercise.a variety of hobbies,a healthy diet and avoidance of stress.Translation1. 被麦当劳的服务和食品质量打动,许多人喜欢去哪里吃汉堡。

Complete the following passage with the words or phrases in the box. Each can only be used onceAnts have a reputation for strength, organization and teamwork. But researchers have now discovered that a key 46 to the success of ants is their ability to 47 the importance of age in the work place.A study of General American leaf-cutter ants has shown that the younger and stronger members are give the 48 job of cutting thorough the leaves they harvest. Their sharp young teeth do this job 49 , but as they get older their teeth become relatively 50 and blunt.But rather than being retired or abandoned by the group, the ageing ants are given a new role more suited to their physical abilities. They become carriers and 51 the leaves back to the kingdom where they are harvested for food.The findings by researchers from the University of Oregon and the Oregong State University 52 previous research showing the survival of a leaf-cutter kingdom depends on the efficiency of its workers.“Cutting leaves is hard work,”said Dr.Robert Schofield, who led the research team. “Much of the cutting is done with a V-shaped blade between teeth on their jaws. This blade starts out as sharp as the sharpest razor blade that humans have developed.”But over rime the teeth become blunter and the cutting job slows down. The team estimated that, because of this age-related wear, a colony spent twice the energy cutting leaves than it would if all the ants had sharp blades. Its findings support the idea that wear and break can be significant problems for insects as well as larger animals.Like humans, leaf-cutter ant recognizes that older members of the group can still make a worthwhile 53 to society.Leaf-cutter ants live in the colonies that have a very developed structure with a strict hierarchy.Ⅳ.

Reading comprehensionA. Choose the best answerSome people bring out the best in you in a way that you might never have fully realized on your own. My mom was one of those people.My father died when I was nine months old, making my mom a single mother at the age of eighteen. While I was growing up, we lived a very hard life. We had little money, but my mom gave me a lot of love. Each night, she sat me on her lap and spoke the words that would change my life, “Kemmons, you are certain to be a great man and you can do anything in life if you work hard enough to get it.”At fourteen, I was hit by a car and the doctors said I would never walk again. Every day, my mother spoke to me in her gentle, loving voice, telling me that no matter what those doctors said, I could walk again if I wanted to badly enough. She drove that message so deep into my heart that I finally believed her. A year later, I returned to school —walking on my own!When the Great Depression hit, my mom lost her job. Then I left school to support the both of us. At that moment, I was determined never to be poor again.Over the years, I experienced various levels of business success. But the real turning point occurred on a vacation I took with my wife and five kids in 1951. I was dissatisfied with the second-class hotels available for families and was angry that they charged an extra $2 for each child. That was too expensive for the average American family. I told my wife that I was going to open a motel (汽车旅馆) for families that would never charge extra for children. There were plenty of doubters at that time.Not surprisingly, mom was one of my strongest supporters. She worked behind the desk andeven designed the room style. As in any business, we experienced a lot of challenges. But with my mother’s words deeply rooted in my soul, I never doubted we would succeed. Fifteen years later, we had the largest hotel system in the world —Holiday Inn. In 1979 my company had 1,759 inns in more than fifty countries with an income of $ 1 billion a year.You may not have started out life in the best situation. But if you can find a task in life worth working for and believe in yourself, nothing can stop you.69. What Kemmons’ mom often told him during his child hood was ______.A). caring B). moving C). encouraging D). interesting70.

Which of the following best describes Kemmons’ mother?A). Modest, helpful, and hard-working.B). Loving, supportive and strong-willed.C). Careful, helpful and beautiful.D).

To get the real reason for the clinking of glass on glass, we have to start from why and how we toast."Toasting," the term for the blessings followed by a swallowing of alcohol, is believed to have taken its name from a practice involving a shared drinking vessel. In modern times toastinghas become a matter of imbibing from 76 drinking vessels rather than from one shared flagon, so to compensate for the sense of unity lost in doing away with the sharing of the same cup we have evolved the practice of simultaneously drinking each from our own glass when a toast is madeLater, the clinking of glasses has been added to toasting. By adding the "clink," a pleasant sound was made, and wine glasses have come to be 77 not only for their appearance but also for the tones they produce when struck.Beyond mere aural pleasure, the practice also serves other 78 , it is a way of emphasizing that you are part of the good wishes being expressed, a way to unite the individuals into a cohesive groupOn a deeper level, the wine is also being recommended with itself — that which had been one but was 79 is brought back into contact with the whole of itself, if only for a moment.However, when participating in toasts among large assemblies., we need not clink glasses with everyone present. Rather than 80 across wide tables ,simply raise your glass and make eye contact with the group, that’s okay.75. A. results B. clues C. explanations D. consequences76.

How could all of these i 81 things happen? --- in my dreams.A dream is a series of pictures, ideas and emotions playing in the mind during sleep. Humans spend one third of life sleeping and six years dreaming. A person usually has three to five dreams a night, a 82 one may not remember his or her dreams.Many dreams, at least the ones we remember, are strange and interesting. That’s why most people believe that dreams must have some deep meaning or important message. However, people in different cultures have different understandings of the s 83 dream. For example, when dreaming of fire, Chinese people think of money. The Japanese would say it’s “trouble”. For people in the West, a dream of fire m84 something new is coming.Scientists have very different opinions about the deep meaning of dreams. Some believe that a dream is only a normal p 85 of sleep and doesn’t tell us anything. Other scientists think that a dream is a direct message from one’s mind. Dreams are like a window into one’s desires and fears. For example, if you’re very nervous about an exam, you may have nightmares of monsters running after you.Technology also helps us to know more about dreams. In the film Inception, people can e 86 others’ minds wh ile they are dreaming. Well, now, out of the dreams, we can r 87 do it, too. Scientists can now read people’s dreams by scanning their brain activity during sleep. Would you let scientists look into your dreams?D. Answer the questions“I sometimes get up at three or four in the morning to surf the Internet.”“ I checked my e-mail almost forty times a day.”“I seldom spend less than three hours each time on the net.”“I spend more time in chat rooms than with my ‘real-life’ friends.”Do you know any people like these? They are part of a new addiction (瘾) called Internet addiction. According to experts, Internet addicts (迷) spends at least thirty to forty hours online every week. They lose control of the time they spend on the Internet.For example, one college student was missing for several days. His friends were worried and looked for him everywhere but couldn’t find him. They called the police. The police found the student in the computer lab: he was surfing the Internet---for seven days straight.A study shows that about six to ten percent of Internet users become addicted. The teenagers spend more time on the Internet than with friends and family. That’s why some experts worry most about young people.Is “surfing the Internet” a hobby or an addiction for you? You may have a problem if you have one of the following symptoms (症状).★You go out with your friends less and less.★You’ve decide to spend a short time online, but then you spend several hours.★You do not go to important family events or you do not do school projects because you like to spend hours on the Internet.What is the situation? Some experts suggest that people set strict limits on their time for internet use. You have to learn to control it, or the Internet would control you. 88. How many hours does an Internet addict append online every week according to experts?89. Where was the missing college student found?90. Why do some experts worry most about young people?91. What is one symptom of Internet addiction?92. How can Internet addicts solve their problem?93. What might be the title of this passage? (In no more than TEN words)Ⅶ. Writing (作文) (共20分)94.

Each child (aged 12-13) beatified a box and wrote a story on the subject of collections to throw inside it. The boxes were spreadwithin the Royal Festival Hall's Ballroom. Some were left empty to encourage visitors to write their own stories.The subject chosen by Lauren was an imaginative one. "It's a sort of Cinderella (灰姑娘) story," she told me, inspired by a collection of letters from her cousin, ha the story these become love letters, burned by a creel stepmother. Lauren's best friend Charlotte is the stepmother. "I'm in Charlotte's story too," says Lauren, "and I get run over." Charlotte's tale was inspired by the girls' coin collection."We've collected foreign coins for years-since our families went on holiday to Tenerife." she explains."That was before the Euro, so we put pesetas in." Lauren continues: "I find a coin in the road, go to get it and get run over. I'm in hospital and then I die." Charlotte adds: "Or she might not die. I haven't decided yet."Millie Murray, who is a tea-novel author, thinks that setting the subject of collections was a useful inspiration to their creativity rather than a restriction (限制). "In the beginning I thought, ' will the children be able to do it?'" she says. "But it's been fruitful. Some have their own collection, some have parents who do, and some have written complete stories. It's made them think about something they wouldn't have otherwise, winch can only be a good thing."21. What were the children asked to do in the project?A. To meet friends at Thomas Tallis SchoolB. To write stories on the subject of collections.C. To encourage visitors to write their own stories.D. To have their friends for characters in the stories.22. The underlined word "pesetas" in Paragraph 2 is a kind of _____.A. storyB. collectionC. inspirationD. foreign coin23. From the stories by Lauren and Charlotte, we know that _____.A. Charlotte hurt herself when getting a coinB. both of them developed their imaginationC. both of tram will die in each other's storiesD. Lauren's cousin posted her some love lettersEAT YOUR VEGETABLES. Wash your hands. Always say "please" and "thank you". We are full of advice for our children, but when it comes to money, we often have little to say. As a result, our children may grow up with clean hands and goodmanners, but without any idea how to manage their money.Here are some basics that will help guide them their entire lives: Show them the future. If your 13-year-old girl were to save $1.000, invest (投资) it at 8% and add $100 every month, by the time she's 65, she would have $980,983!Be careful of credit (信⽤). Credit cards can help you buy necessary things and build a credit history, but they must be used responsibly, which means paying off your debt in time. Explain to your children that when you buy something using a credit card, you can easily end up paying two or three times what you would have paid if you used cash.Teach patience. Suppose your child wants a new bicycle that costs $150.Rather than paying the cash, give him some regular pocket money and explain that by putting aside,say,$15 each week, he will be able to buy it for himself in only ten weeks.Provide incentive. Tell your children the importance of saving. "For every dollar he or sheagrees to save and invest rather than spend, you agree to add another dollar to the pot," says Cathy Pareto, expert in money planning.Explain your values. Values and money are deeply intertwined(缠绕在⼀起) , says Eileen Gallo, co-author of The Financially Intelligent Parent. When your child demands that you buy something, explain why you really don't want to buy it. "You might say, 'I'd rather save that money for your education,'" advises Gallo. Every time you spend or don't spend money, you have a chance to share your values.24. The writer gives some basics to help _____ in a proper way.A. parents teach their children how to deal with moneyB. children follow their parents' instructionsC. children manage their moneyD. parents save their money25. The writer thinks that, if a child wants to buy something, his parents should _____.A. give him some regular pocket moneyB. encourage him to put money away for itC. explain to him the importance of investmentD. tell him to save some money by using a credit card26. The underlined word "incentive" in paragraph 6 means _____.A. honorB. praiseC. excitementD. encouragement27. What leads the writer to write this article?A. Parents want to know how to educate their children.B. He wants to share his good ideas about money matters.C. He thinks money management the most important for children.D. Parents care little about their children's management of money.Avatar is a 2009 American science fiction epic film written and 28 by James Cameron and starring Sam Worthington, Zoe Saldana, Sigourney Weaver, Michelle Rodriguez and Stephen Lang.

Work 38 the language for the film's extraterrestrial(地球外的) beings began in summer 2005, and Cameron began 39 the screenplay and fictional universe in early 2006.Avatar was officially 40 at $237 million. Other estimates put the cost 41 $280 million and 310 million for production, and at $150 million for promotion. The film was released in traditional 2-D, 42 in 3-D, using the RealD 3D, Dobly 3D, Xpand 3D and IMAX 3D formats, and also in 4-D.

It was built about 1300 years ago. They say jungle plants have covered the ruins for hundreds of years.Arthur Demarest of Vanderbilt University in Nashville, Tennessee discovered the huge palace this past summer at Cancuen in Guatemala. This palace has 170 rooms built around eleven open areas. The scientists say the area looks like a huge hill covered by jungle. Mr. Demarest found the structure when he fill into one of its open areas as he was walking along the ruin’s highest level. He then recognized that the hill was the top of the mountain.50.Mr. Demarest was leading a team of scientists in the area with Tomas Barrientos of the Universidad del Valle in Guatemala. Scientists say the ruins should increase understanding of the political life of the Mayan people. They were at the height of the power in Central America and Mexico more than 1000 years ago. Writings on the newly found palace walls say King Tah ak Chaan built it. He ruled Cancuen for about 50 years beginning in the year 740.51.Scientists say they may have to reconsider some of their ideas about the Mayan people. They say Cancuen seems different from other Mayan cities. Scientists had believe that power of among the Mayan was based on warfare and religion. But the scientists didn’t find evidence of religious centers or wars in Cancuen. The city’s rulers did not take part in major wars with nearby groups. There were no large pyramid shaped buildings or parts of temples that would shoe the religious power of the rulers. The evidence suggests that the city’s power was based on its importance as a trading center. And evidence suggests is formed alliances with other powerful cities in the area. 52.The researchers say the ruins showed the people in the city were rich. Many were skilled in producing goods fir trade. The scientists say it will take them ten years to dig the palace from under the jungle plants and partly repair it. They are planning to start the work by sending a large group of researchers to the area in February.参考答案:ABCCB BCADA DCBBD DCDBC ADDBB BCDBC BCBDA DCBCB DADAA BDCCABCADC AABCA CDCBB ACDCBBDB ABDDADCBB ACCAD ABCAB CADBCBCADF。

Online study is now the new normal(新常态)for students in Shanghai and many placesaround the world.Being the miniature(微型)computers that can fit in the palm of your hand,mobile phones certainly come in handy in this critical time.There are millions of apps out there waiting for you to test them out.Now,let's check them out!• NotabilityTaking notes during a class or a (1)l ______ is a normal thing for students,but it can be tedious (boring).With the help of technology,your notes can be more interactive.If you are someone who wants to liven up your notes with pictures,(2)v ______ or audio recordings,Notability may be an app that would fascinate you.The app offers so many features—you can use highlighters,handwrite notes,insert(插入)pictures,record audio,edit group notes…The (3)l ______ goes on and on!• PocketThe internet is a boundless sea of (4)i ______ .But do you feel like you are too busy to read an article or breaking news?Don't worry—Pocket has you covered.It lets you save content from anywhere and everywhere to read (5)l ______ —even offline.You can also use the "Listen" feature to have yourarticle(6)r ______ directly to you.Who knew you could fit so many articles in just your Pocket?• CalmDo you ever feel like you have difficulty concentrating?Do you want to manage your stress and anxiety levels a bit better Try to Calm yourself!According to the app's website,its mission is to "make the world happier"through features like guided meditation(冥想)and bedtime stories.It has over 50 million downloads and 40 million likes.One of the top-rated (7)r ______ says that the app is "life-changing".(1)(2)(3)(4)(5)(6)(7)46. My summer hols wr CWOT.B4,WE USED 2 go 2 NY 2 C my bro,his GF & thr 3:-@KIDS FTF.ILNY,its gr8.Can you understand this sentence?If you can't,don't feel too bad:neither could the middle school teacher in England who received this as homework.This is Netspeak:the language of computerized communication found on Internet or cellphones.If you read Netspeak for the first time,it looks like an unrecognizable foreign language.So,what is the "translation" of the sentence above?My summer holidays were a complete waste of time.Before,we used to go to New York to see my brother,his girlfriend,and their three screaming kids face to face.I love New York;it's great.School teachers and parents say this new form of writing is harming the English language.Increasing spelling and grammatical mistakes can be seen in students' writing.They fear the language could become corrupted(面目全非的).Everyone should just relax,say linguists.They believe Netspeak is in fact more of a good thing.David Crystal,from the University of Wales,argues that Netspeak and Internet create a new language use and the almost lost art of diary writing has been picked up again.Geoffrey Nunberg,from Stanford University,agrees. "People get better at writing by writing," he says. "Kids who are now doing text messaging,e-mail,and instant messages will write at least as well as,and possibly better than their parents."Linguist James Milroy says,for centuries,it is believed without exception that young people areharming the language.And you can be sure that when today's teenagers become tomorrow's parents,they will think this way,roy argues that languages do not and cannot become "corrupted";they simply change to meet the new needs.However,Netspeakers do agree that it is important to teach young people how to speak and write standard English.Cynthia McVey says,"I can understand Netspeak worries teachers and it's important to make their pupils understand that text messaging is for fun,but that to learn to write proper English is necessary for their future."Perhaps,we should give teenagers a little more trust anyway.Erin,age 12,says,"I wouldn't use text language in my homework.Text is just for fun."(1) School teachers and parents are in favor of the new form of writing,aren't they?______ .(2) The first time people read Netspeak,how do they feel about Netspeak?______ .(3) Why do languages change,according to James Milroy?______ .(4) Who thinks that Netspeak and Internet create a new language use______ .(5) In Cynthia McVey's opinion,what should students do to prepare for their future?______ .(6) The writer doesn't support Netspeak,does he?Will you use Netspeak?Why or why not?______ .47.

Each child (aged 12-13) beatified a box and wrote a story on the subject of collections to throw inside it. The boxes were spreadwithin the Royal Festival Hall's Ballroom. Some were left empty to encourage visitors to write their own stories.The subject chosen by Lauren was an imaginative one. "It's a sort of Cinderella (灰姑娘) story," she told me, inspired by a collection of letters from her cousin, ha the story these become love letters, burned by a creel stepmother. Lauren's best friend Charlotte is the stepmother. "I'm in Charlotte's story too," says Lauren, "and I get run over." Charlotte's tale was inspired by the girls' coin collection."We've collected foreign coins for years-since our families went on holiday to Tenerife." she explains."That was before the Euro, so we put pesetas in." Lauren continues: "I find a coin in the road, go to get it and get run over. I'm in hospital and then I die." Charlotte adds: "Or she might not die. I haven't decided yet."Millie Murray, who is a tea-novel author, thinks that setting the subject of collections was a useful inspiration to their creativity rather than a restriction (限制). "In the beginning I thought, ' will the children be able to do it?'" she says. "But it's been fruitful. Some have their own collection, some have parents who do, and some have written complete stories. It's made them think about something they wouldn't have otherwise, winch can only be a good thing."21. What were the children asked to do in the project?A. To meet friends at Thomas Tallis SchoolB. To write stories on the subject of collections.C. To encourage visitors to write their own stories.D. To have their friends for characters in the stories.22. The underlined word "pesetas" in Paragraph 2 is a kind of _____.A. storyB. collectionC. inspirationD. foreign coin23. From the stories by Lauren and Charlotte, we know that _____.A. Charlotte hurt herself when getting a coinB. both of them developed their imaginationC. both of tram will die in each other's storiesD. Lauren's cousin posted her some love lettersEAT YOUR VEGETABLES. Wash your hands. Always say "please" and "thank you". We are full of advice for our children, but when it comes to money, we often have little to say. As a result, our children may grow up with clean hands and good manners, but without any idea how to manage their money.Here are some basics that will help guide them their entire lives: Show them the future. If your 13-year-old girl were to save $1.000, invest (投资) it at 8% and add $100 every month, by the time she's 65, she would have $980,983!Be careful of credit (信用). Credit cards can help you buy necessary things and build a credit history, but they must be used responsibly, which means paying off your debt in time. Explain to your children that when you buy something using a credit card, you can easily end up paying two or three times what you would have paid if you used cash.Teach patience. Suppose your child wants a new bicycle that costs $150.Rather than paying the cash, give him some regular pocket money and explain that by putting aside,say,$15 each week, he will be able to buy it for himself in only ten weeks.Provide incentive. Tell your children the importance of saving. "For every dollar he or sheagrees to save and invest rather than spend, you agree to add another dollar to the pot," says Cathy Pareto, expert in money planning.Explain your values. Values and money are deeply intertwined(缠绕在一起) , says Eileen Gallo, co-author of The Financially Intelligent Parent. When your child demands that you buy something, explain why you really don't want to buy it. "You might say, 'I'd rather save that money for your education,'" advises Gallo. Every time you spend or don't spend money, you have a chance to share your values.24. The writer gives some basics to help _____ in a proper way.A. parents teach their children how to deal with moneyB. children follow their parents' instructionsC. children manage their moneyD. parents save their money25. The writer thinks that, if a child wants to buy something, his parents should _____.A. give him some regular pocket moneyB. encourage him to put money away for itC. explain to him the importance of investmentD. tell him to save some money by using a credit card26. The underlined word "incentive" in paragraph 6 means _____.A. honorB. praiseC. excitementD. encouragement27. What leads the writer to write this article?A. Parents want to know how to educate their children.B. He wants to share his good ideas about money matters.C. He thinks money management the most important for children.D. Parents care little about their children's management of money.Avatar is a 2009 American science fiction epic film written and 28 by James Cameron and starring Sam Worthington, Zoe Saldana, Sigourney Weaver, Michelle Rodriguez and Stephen Lang.

It was built about 1300 years ago. They say jungle plants have covered the ruins for hundreds of years.Arthur Demarest of Vanderbilt University in Nashville, Tennessee discovered the huge palace this past summer at Cancuen in Guatemala. This palace has 170 rooms built around eleven open areas. The scientists say the area looks like a huge hill covered by jungle. Mr. Demarest found the structure when he fill into one of its open areas as he was walking along the ruin’s highest level. He then recognized that the hill was the top of the mountain.50.Mr. Demarest was leading a team of scientists in the area with Tomas Barrientos of the Universidad del Valle in Guatemala. Scientists say the ruins should increase understanding of the political life of the Mayan people. They were at the height of the power in Central America and Mexico more than 1000 years ago. Writings on the newly found palace walls say King Tah ak Chaan built it. He ruled Cancuen for about 50 years beginning in the year 740.51.Scientists say they may have to reconsider some of their ideas about the Mayan people. They say Cancuen seems different from other Mayan cities. Scientists had believe that power of among the Mayan was based on warfare and religion. But the scientists didn’t find evidence of religious centers or wars in Cancuen. The city’s rulers did not take part in major wars with nearby groups. There were no large pyramid shaped buildings or parts of temples that would shoe the religious power of the rulers. The evidence suggests that the city’s power was based on its importance as a trading center. And evidence suggests is formed alliances with other powerful cities in the area. 52.The researchers say the ruins showed the people in the city were rich. Many were skilled in producing goods fir trade. The scientists say it will take them ten years to dig the palace from under the jungle plants and partly repair it. They are planning to start the work by sending a large group of researchers to the area in February.参考答案:ABCCB BCADA DCBBD DCDBC ADDBB BCDBC BCBDA DCBCB DADAA BDCCABCADC AABCA CDCBB ACDCBBDB ABDDADCBB ACCAD ABCAB CADBCBCADF。
