一、中考英语阅读理解汇编1．阅读理解Most people are afraid of sharks, but they usually do not know very much about them. For example, there are 350types of sharks, and all of them are meat esters. Some sharks are very big. The whale shark is 50 to 60 foot long. But some sharks are very small. The dwarf（侏儒）shark is only 6 inches（英寸）long. Sharks are 100 million years old. In fact, they lived at the same time as dinosaurs. Today, sharks live in every ocean on the earth, but most sharks live in warm water. They keep the oceans clean because they eat sick fish and animals. Most sharks have four to six rows of teeth. When a shark's tooth falls out, another tooth moves in from behind. Sharks do not have ears. However, they "hear" sounds and movements in the water. Any sound or movement makes the water vibrate. This helps sharks find food. Sharks use their large eyes to find food, too. Most sharks see best in low light. They often hunt for food at dawn （黄昏）, in the evening, or in the middle of the night. Scientists want to learn more about sharks for several reasons. For example, cancer （癌症） is common in many animals, including people. However, it is rare （罕见的）in sharks. Scientists want to find out why sharks almost never get cancer. Maybe this information can help people prevent cancer, too.（1）According to the text, most sharks live______.A. in very deep waterB. in warm waterC. near the surface of the oceanD. in cold water（2）Sharks keep the oceans clean because they______.A. do well in cleaning waterB. eat sick fish and animalsC. can get cancer like humanD. can produce a kind of chemical（3）What does the underlined （划线的） word "vibrate" mean in Chinese?A. 振动B. 停止C. 变清澈D. 变浑浊（4）According to the text, we know _____.A. the whale shark is 50 to 60 feet longB. the dwarf shark is only 6 feet longC. sharks and dinosaurs lived in different timesD. sharks only use large eyes to find food【答案】（1）B（2）B（3）A（4）A【解析】【分析】主要讲了关于鲨鱼的一些介绍。

九年级专项练习—阅读理解(1)ALast year, I did not like my English class. Every class was like a bad dream. The teacher spoke so quickly that I did not understand her most of the time. I was afraid to ask questions because of my poor pronunciation. I just hid behind my textbook and never said anything.Then one day I watched an English movie called Toy Story. I fell in love with this exciting and funny movie! So I began to watch other English movies, too. Although I could not understand everything the characters said, their body language and the expressions on their faces helped me to get the meaning by listening for just the key words. My pronunciation improved as well by listening to the conversations in English movies. I discovered that listening to something intere sting is the secret to language learning. I also learned useful sentences like “It’s a piece of cake” or “It serves you right”. I did not understand these sentences at first. But because I wanted to understand the story, I looked them up in a dictionary.Now I really enjoy my English class. I want to learn new words and more grammar so that I can have a better understanding of English movies.1. Someone who ______ will most possibly be interested in this passage.A. wants to study abroadB. wants to watch English moviesC. is poor in his English studyD. is learning to use an English dictionary2. What is the best way to learn English well according to the writer?A. Listening to something interesting.B. Remembering many useful sentences.C. Asking teachers questions in class.D. Learning more words and grammar.3. Which is the best title for this passage?A. The ways to learn English wellB. How I learned to learn EnglishC. Why I love watching English moviesD. The secret to improve pronunciationBWhen I was little, I loved picture books. Even if my parents didn’t have time to read the story for me, I could look at the pictures and follow the story. Then I moved on to comic books with their exciting stories of superheroes and, later, to novels. I forgot all about picture books and how wonderful they are.Last week though, my friend gave me A Fish with a Smile by Jimmy Liao, a writer who makes picture books for older readers. I found the story about a thoughtful man and his pet fish very meaningful. I also thought the pictures were beautiful. Now I’ve become a fan of picture books all over again.Jimmy Liao is one of Asia’s most famous picture book writers and has had best-sellers at home and abroad. I just finished reading one of his most popular books, Turn left, Turn right. The book is about a man and a woman who meet by chance in a park. The woman scribbles down her phone number, but the rain washes it away and they never find each other again. The story touches your heart because the two characters never realize that they are neighbors.Jimmy Liao’s pictures are often funny and cute. He included a rabbit in his book, Secrets in the Woods and the rabbits has re-appeared in his books ever since, partly because readers liked it so much. However, his stories can also be serious. They show what it’s like to feel alone in the city, fear(恐惧) of losing your job or someone you love.I think this is why Jimmy Liao’s career has been so popular.4. According to Paragraph 1, the writer ______.A. used to like comic booksB. found books with no pictures boringC. does not like reading novelsD. thinks picture books are for children5. According to the passage, Turn left, turn right can be described a(an) ______ story.A. funnyB. lovingC. boringD. exciting6. The underlined word “scribbles” in Paragraph 3 is probably close to ______.A. writesB. turnsC. looksD. speaks7. According to the passage, the topics of Liao’s work are mentioned except ______.A. fearB. lonelinessC. funD. courageCHave you ever noticed that aside from the furniture and decoration, many people’s homes seem almost the same? Well, some people have had enough of that and prefer to live in homes that are being the only one of its kind.Some people want homes that are environmentally friendly. Earthships, for example, are made from mud(泥) and materials that would be bottles. Many use wind or the energy from the sun, collect and recycle water, and have a greenhouse in which to grow food. The Phooenix Earthship in the US is a place which can be used as a holiday accommodation, so if you want to try it out, you can.Shipping containers(集装箱) are now being reused to make another kind of environmentally friendly home. They can be used for a small holiday house in the country or connected to make coffee blocks, such as those at Container City in London, England.Other people are interested in homes that look different, like the Steel(钢铁) House in Texas, USA. As you can tell by its name, it is made out of steel. The designer, Robert Bruno, makes it look like cross between a machine and an animal.Especially in crowded areas like Hong Kang, many people want a home that makes the most of space. Artist Gray Chang has achieved this. He found a clever way of using walls which can be moved and fold-down(折叠) items like tables and a bed to change his tiny flat into a home with twenty-four possible rooms.Seeing all of these examples of imaginative homes, what would you like to do to make your own home as a special place to live?8. Earthships are made from ______.A. old shipsB. shipping containersC. recycled materialsD. moving walls9. Gray Chang changed his room because he______.A. wanted more roomsB. thought it was crowdedC. had too much furnitureD. found a way to move walls10. All of the homes mentioned in the article are _____ in common.A. expensive to buildB. strange-lookingC. good for the environmentD. unusual places to live11. The writer explains “the homes that are being the only one of its kind” by _____.A. describing a planB. telling storiesC. using examplesD. following time orderDShe was maybe six years old, smiling in a white dress. She walked up to my son and planted herself in front of his wheelchair(轮椅). And then, without taking her eyes from his face, she said,“I feel sorry for him.”I felt it more than I heard it. Deep in my stomach, where I keep all my sadness, I felt it like a kick in the ribs(肋骨).Children ask all kinds of questions about my son. “Why is he in that?”“Why can’t he walk?” “What’s wrong with him?” But questions are easy. For children, questions always have answers.“I feel sorry for him” is not a question. It is a statement of fact. I know there are many people who feel the same. Many people who see my son, they feel sorry. They feel sad. But adults know how to hide. We know what not to say. This little girl was a leak(漏洞) in the system, which tells me my son’s wheelchair is “very sad”, tells me he is a “poor thing”, prefers to see people like my son as recipients of charity(慈善救助对象), rather than seeing them as neighbors, classmates, teachers, and friends.So I stood there and I realized I am very small. I am only one person.Then last week, sitting by the pool with my husband and my little boy, I heard it again. This time it’s from a teen, maybe 19-year-old. He had seen us there a few times. Today he had a girl with him. “Something’s wrong with that kid,” he whispered to her, “Did you see his back? He can’t walk. So sad…” I felt it more than I heard it. And _________. Her agreement.“Nothing sad about it,” she said, looking at my son with so much kindness. “My brother wa s in the Special Olympics. That kid is cute.”I closed my eyes to keep from crying. I wanted to hug her. I wanted to tell her how lovely she is. More than anything, I wanted to thank her for reminding me that I am not the only one who sees my son for who he is. I am only one person, but I am not alone.12. What happened to the writer’s son?A. He fell off the tree.B. He couldn’t walk.C. He had a car accident.D. He wasn’t able to talk.13. How did the writer feel when she heard what the little girl said?A. Sorry.B. Boring.C. Thankful.D. Hopeless.14. Which of the following is the best expression to fill in the blank in the passage?A. she looked at my son with kindness.B. she seemed she knew me quite well.C. I put my head down waiting for her reply.D. I didn’t know how to answer her question.15. After hearing the young lady’s words, the writer ______.A. felt few people could understand her and her sonB. believed some people could see her son as a normal oneC. thought the girl’s brother had the same disease like her sonD. thanked for what the young lady had done for her and her son答案：1.

Then one Friday morning I took part in a three-day self-help program for teenagers. Whether you believe it or not, that weekend changed my life.About 100 other teenagers were there. During the first two days I met a lot of great people. I was glad because I made so many friends there.On Sunday, the leader did an interesting exercise called “Chocolate or Toys”. He asked a girl which she liked better, chocolate or toys. She chose chocolate. Then he asked her to choose again between chocolate and chocolate. Of course, she didn’t have a choice.This exercise told us that sometimes we don’t have a choice in life, and that sometimes we have to accept something, rather than complaining(抱怨).A girl stood up and started talking about her mom who was a drug addict(吸毒者) and how much she hated her mother.“I want a new mom,” she cried.“Unluckily, you can’t have one,” the leader replied. “You have to accept the mother that you have.”This hit me hard.

Old men spend hours fishing from the banks of the river. They don’t catch many fish, but they don’t mind. They enjoy just being by the river. Many people spend hours walking along the river or relaxing under the old trees. It’s so pleasant to buy some cheese, some wine and a long loaf(条) of French bread and then have a picnic here on a sunny day. Sometimes you see an unusual sight, like a man padding a kayak(小艇) down the river. A bridge crosses the river to the Latin Quarter, which is the home of many artists and writers.根据短文内容，正确（T），错误（F）。

I was terrified but I just acted cool.—Buding, still afraid of spidersI was scared of the dark because I didn't know if there was something scary inside the room. As a result, I always liked sleeping with my back facing the wall because it made me a little comfortable.—Gerard, not so afraid of the dark anymore, but still sleeps with his back facing the wallStrange as it probably sounds, I was scared of shadows（影子）.Not the shadows themselves, but what they formed（形成）.Because I was near-sighted（近视的）, the shadows I saw formed into the scariest things I saw in my mind.—Jean, no longer afraid of shadows I was afraid of the old woman who lived alone right in front of us.

Sometimes, on grey, rainy days, your mood level is lower than on bright, sunny days. Is this a coincidence（巧合）, or is there some science behind this? Would you like to know more about how the weather can affect how you feel?According to a recent study, there is a connection between weather and moods. Going to a warm place in the middle of winter can make our moods better. Pleasant weather has been proved to improve moods and memory. However, extremely hot weather can actually make us feel more tired and bored, spoiling our moods.In the study, people who spent time outdoors in warm weather were happier than those who spent all day inside.The best temperature for humans is about 22.2℃. That explains why people in southern California are happy all the time. To improve his or her moods, a person must spend at least 30 minutes outside in warm, sunny weather. Spending time indoors when the weather outside is so nice tends to lower moods.Maybe just the activities connected with being outside affect our moods. Warm weather is connected with the beach, fun outdoor sports and so on. It brings back childhood memories of playing outside all day. Who doesn't love that?Of course, we can wake up every day and decide how we will feel that day. If it's rainy, that won't necessarily make us unhappy. We'll just have to bring our umbrellas out and cheer up those who are feeling sad!（1）According to the study, we may feel on extremely hot days.A. happierB. more boredC. more excitedD. more pleased（2）Warm weather can help improve our moods and according to the passage.A. sightB. memoryC. heightD. hearing（3）Why are people in southern California happy all the time?A.

Because the weather there is extremely hot all the year round.（4）What is the best title for the passage?A. Rainy Days Make Us SadB. The Best Temperature for HumansC. Go Outside on Sunny DaysD. How the Weather Affects Our Moods4．阅读理解Bradford City MattersWelcome to the winter edition（版） of City Matters."Don't Drop It; Stop It!"Put rubbish in your wheelie bin（有轮大垃圾筒）.You must put your rubbish in your wheelie bin to keep your environment clean.

We see it any place we go and, in fact, almost all of us carry some piece of technology with us every time we leave the house. What I always forget, though, is just how useful and powerful technology can be when we want to help others.There is not a single room in my house that does not have some electronic devices （设备）lying around in it. Whenever I am at home, I am almost always using at least one electronic device. If you walked into my living room on any given day, you would find that, first, I have the television on. At the same time, I usually have my laptop resting on my knee, or I will be using my mobile phone. Even when I'm not at home I am always using my phone, and at work or in cafés, I sit down and connect to the local wireless network on my laptop.I must say that I waste a lot of time on the computer and the time I spend on it could be much better spent if I were to take up a little online volunteering.The technology we carry about everywhere can have a great power to do good for the world and to help others and recently I discovered just how much online volunteering there is to do in the world. From using your language skills to do translations, to developing and managing projects and helping with IT work, there is so much that so many people can do to help people in their own countries and across the world. The United Nations, in fact, has a huge page with "Volunteers Recruited" on its website.This work can support the poor and help charities who cannot pay for staff members. Many organizations only require you to work an hour a week﹣some even less. And the support provided by online volunteers can really help make a difference to those in need.（1）From Paragraph 2, we can know that the writer .A. is a computer engineerB. works in a caféC. uses technology a lotD. likes modern music（2）The underlined word" Recruited" in Paragraph 4 means" ".A. OrderedB. VisitedC. WantedD. Warned（3）In the writer's opinion, people should spend more time with technology.A. working on computer programsB. keeping the Internet safeC. inventing electronic productsD. helping people in need（4）What can be the best title for the passage？A. Online VolunteeringB. Internet OrganizationsC. Website DesignD. Online Translation6．阅读理解My 14-year-old son, John, and I saw the coat at the same time in a second-hand clothing store. It stood out among big and old coats. It was so beautiful and had an unbelievable price, $ 28. I looked at my son and we both said nothing, but John's eyes shone. Dark, woolen coats were popular with teenage boys, but new ones could cost several hundred dollars. This coat was even better. John tried it on and turned from side to side, eyeing himself in the mirror. It fit him so well. John wore the coal to school the next clay. After he came home, I asked. "Did the kids like your coat?""They loved it," he said with a big grin.Over the next few weeks, John changed. He was polite, less argumentative, more thoughtful, and much happier. "Good dinner, Mom," he would say every evening. Without a word of complaining, he would carry in wood for the stove. One day when I suggested that he might start on his homework before dinner, John, who always put things off, said, "You're right. I guess I will." When I mentioned this change to one of his teachers, she joked that the coat must have changed him.John and I both know we should never judge a person by his clothes. But it is true that when wearing beautiful and suitable clothes, we may try to be better in thought, speech and behavior to match what is on the inside to what is on the outside.（1）What can we learn from the first paragraph?A. The price of the coat was too high.B. John liked the coat very much.C. They often went shopping together.D. The writer didn't want to buy the coat.（2）What did John use to do when he was asked to study?A. Start at once.B. Put off his homework.C. Work hard on schoolwork.D. Carry in wood for the stove.（3）Which of the following changes did NOT happen to John after he wore the coat?A. He was willing to follow suggestions.B. He often helped to do some housework.C.

Life is full of possibilities when we are young.C. We should not judge people by their appearance.D. It's a good choice to try different things in our lives.7．阅读理解Stonehenge means "hanging stones". They stood in a circle, with 30 more stones lying on top to form a ring of rocks. There was also an inner circle built with similar stones. The stones set up in a trilithon（巨石牌坊） pattern.A trilithon is made of two stone pillars with a stab of rock laid across the top. The stones weigh up to 20 tons each. People wonder how the huge rocks were placed that way.Historians agree that Stonehenge was built in three different stages. The first stage took place about 5, 000 years ago. At that time, a large circular earth wall was made. Historians believe the wall was dug and cut with tools made form anglers（鹿角）of red deer. The earth wall was about 98m in diameter（直径） a 5-meter-tall stone was placed near the center. Then, they had to transport the large blue stones （up to 4 tons） 384 kilometers to Stonehenge. Experts think they might be moved across ice and snow. The ground in winter in this area is usually full of ice and snow, making it easier to move the rocks. The next task was to stand the stones up. The most difficult task was putting the top stones in place. Each one of these tasks took a lot of planning and a lot of strength, but the workers of Stonehenge were excellent builders.Why was the monument built? Some scientists think it's a burial ground. There are over 400 graves （burial sits） nearby. A man was buried with two gold earrings which are the oldest gold ever found in Britain （dated to 2470 BC）. Others think Stonehenge was built by early astronomers. Scientists believe that when a person stands in the center of the monument, the changing of seasons can be seen. Certain stones mark the location of the rising and setting moon in midwinter. Other stones mark the rising and setting sun in midsummer. The ancient people held religious ceremonies on these days. These ceremonies probably asked the gods to bring good weather for crops and to protect the people from bad weather.Stonehenge is an engineering success. Thousands of years later, it still stands. As a calendar, Stonehenge is very accurate. It shows that early people had a deep understanding of the movements to the sun and the moon. They didn't have machines or computers, but Stonehenge shows people could do many things using only their muscles and their brains.（1）he first building stage of Stonehenge was ________.A. to dig and cut the earth wallB. to move the blue stones across the iceC. to stand the stones upD. to put the top stones in place（2）Which evidence（证据） is given to support the idea that Stonehenge was a burial ground?A. Stonehenge was made of stones.B. It is a place for celebrating ceremonies.C. The passing of seasons can be seen there.D. Two gold earrings were found in a grave.（3）The underlined word "accurate" in the last paragraph probably means "________".A. correctB. strangeC. hugeD. heavy（4）Stonehenge was probably NOT originally built for ________.A. touristsB. religious reasonsC. a burial groundD. telling the seasons8．阅读理解I'm sure most people like music.

But to our surprise, one English school allows children to listen to music oreven to have the TV on while they are studying, and they find it is helpful to improve the students' grades.According to a research at Millfield School in the UK, around 20% of teenagers work better with background music, and 10% excel when allowed to finish their work with short walks around theroom while up to 80% can concentrate （集中注意）better if allowed to play with a small object.The research has made the school use a very new way, encouraging students to discover which learning styles suit them best, and then do their homework listening to music or even lying down.

九年级英语单元话题阅读训练题(第一部分)附答案
第一阅读理解话题（1-1）Li Ruyan, 13 years old, did something special last summer with his classmates in Shanghai. They worked in groups with traffic police at different crossroads in the city. Holding small red flags, the students helped keep order and stopped people from jaywalking (乱穿马路). As part of the school project, Li’s school has encouraged its students to do more community (社区) work. After the half day of exhausting work, Li told himself not to jaywalk anymore.“I think through community work we get to help others and, more importantly, we grow a sense of responsibility (责任感),” he said.Community service is an important part of education for teenagers around the world. In the US and Canada, high school students need to finish 40 hours of community service beforegraduation. In America, those who have finished 1,400 hours of community work can be awarded nearly $5,000 (33,000 yuan).Chinese students today do more community work, too. For example, starting from 2010, Sichuan high school students have been asked to do 10 days of community work. It will become part of their school grades.Qian Lijun, 16, and her classmates in Suzhou, Jiangsu went to a local elder care home this winter. They put Spring Festival couplets (对联) on the walls and cheered up the people living there.Li Xiaotian, 15, in Anshan said he used to clear flyers (小广告) from telephone poles (电线杆) with his classmates. They brought tools, towels and buckets and worked for three hours under the summer sun. “It was tiring, but seeing the clean poles without ugly ads, we really felt proud,” he said.根据短文内容，选择正确答案。

A birthd ay party needn’t to be difficult; a simple one is also able to make everyone happy.Last Sunday was my son’s 8th birthday. His father and I decided to hold a simple but fun birthday party for him. We asked him to invite some of his classmates. Because we just moved to a new place and he knew little about his classmates, he would learn a little bit more about them at the party. Also, some Mums and Dads of his classmates would come to the party. We could talk about family lives together.For the party, we decided to keep it short, as it could be hard work to take care of 20 children. The party began at 10am on Sunday. All children arrived at my home on time. They first sent their best wishes to my son. Then, they talked with each other for a few moments. At 11am, we had a good meal, including different kinds of vegetables and fruit. At 11:30am, we ate the birthday cake together. After the meal, the children played some games happily.

九年级英语阅读理解训练(一)
阅读理解训练（一）AA blind boy sat on the steps of a building with a hat by his feet. He held up a sign which said: “I am blind, please help.” There were only a few coins in the hat.A man was walking by. He took a few coins from his pocket and dropped them into the hat. He then took the sign, turned it around, and wrote some words. He put the sign back so that everyone who walked by would see the new words. Soon the hat began to fill up. A lot more people were giving money to the blind boy. That afternoon the man who had changed the sign came to see how things were. The boy recognized his footsteps(脚步) and asked: “Were you the one who changed my sign this morning? What did you write?” The man said: “I only wrote the truth. I said what you said but in a different way.” What he had written was: “Today is a beautiful day but I cannot see it.”Do you think the first sign and the second sign were saying the same thing?Of course both signs told people the boy was blind. But the first sign simply told people to help by putting some money in the hat. The second sign told people that they were able to enjoy the day, but the boy could not enjoy it because he was blind. The first sign simply said the boy was blind. The second sign reminded people they were lucky that they were not blind. There are at least two lessons we can learn from this simple story. The first is: Be thankful for what you have. Someone else has less. Help where you can. The second is: Be creative. Think differently.

There's no exchange of presents among business people, and if one American tries to give another a present, it may look like that he wants to bribe（贿赂） him. Americans have learned that in some other countries people liketo give presents to others, but among ourselves we don't see the need for presents.Even friends may never exchange presents. When I go to foreign countries, I try to bring back little things for close friends, but nobody would feel unhappy if I didn't. I don't often remember a friend's birthday, and few people outside of my family remember mine. If someone gave me presents too often, I'd get unpleasant. But a present from a foreigner-that kind from his or her homeland-won't go wrong, except to government employees（政府职员） who can't be given presents.You usually open a present at once and in front of the person who gives it except Christmas and birthday presents. You should only say, "It's so nice. Thanks…" when you get Christmas or birthday presents.You may want to bring a bottle of wine（葡萄酒） or flowers to a dinner party, but you're never asked to. Nobody will mind if you bring wine, but your friend may not use it that evening.At Christmas we often give presents to our family and sometimes our friends. We also give presents to people who have been helpful during the year—doormen, babysitters, housecleaners, newspaper senders—anyone who has often helped us.（1）What kind of presents don't Americans usually open in front of the givers?A. The small presents.B. Christmas or birthday presents.C. The expensive presents.D. The presents for dinner party.（2）Which of the following do you think is RIGHT?A. American business people don't want presents because they are rich enough.B. The writer of this passage must be an American.C. Everyone must give presents to one's family and friends at Christmas.D. Government employees can get little presents from a foreigner.（3）What is the main idea of the passage?A. Present-giving in the United States.B. Customs（习俗） in the United States.C. American people and present-giving.D. When and how to give presents.3．阅读理解Lots of people are afraid of speaking in public. According to a study, there are 3 of every 4 people having such a problem. The conclusion is a bit surprising and worrying, as most jobs require some speaking ability. The following will help you to make a speech better.Write note cards. Write main ideas on your cards. You needn't write details. Just put in some fun facts, questions, and other activities on the cards to share with the class. You needn't look at your cards for a long time while speaking. Only have a quick look at the card for information instead of reading every last word if necessary.Smile at your class. When it's time to speak, a good old-fashioned smile is the best to draw your class into your speech. Be happy, because you're about to teach your class something they don't know before. Studies have shown that smiles are infectious. That means once you smile, it'shard for everyone else not to smile. So if you want your speech to go off well, smile. That will make everyone smile and maybe those smiles will make you actually smile.Make eyes contact. It's so boring to listen to a speaker who looks at the floor or at note cards. Relax. Your class is made up of your friends and you talk to them all the time. Talk the same way now. Have a look at every person in the classroom at least once. That way, everyone will feel like you're communicating with them. Also, you'll look like you know what you are talking about.Use hand motions. Move you hand along as you talk, using them to express your key points and keep the class interested. It will also lead your nervous energy into a better place.（1）According to the passage, of people are afraid of speaking in public.A. 25%B. 50%C. 100%D. 75%（2）The words "smiles are infectious" means .A. smiles is a kind of illnessB. smiles keep people fitC. your smiles can make others warm and want to smile tooD. it's hard to make others smile（3）Which is the right picture to the last paragraph?A. B. C. D.（4）The passage mainly talks about .A. a boy's speech in classB. how to note cardsC. the fear of public speakingD. how to make a speech better4．阅读理解Many scientists find that colors can change people's feelings. It's very interesting. Some colors can make people feel relaxed, and some colors can make people feel nervous. Now, this kind of knowledge is being used in many places. For example, school walls are always painted green because green makes students feel relaxed. It is also good for the students' eyes. Some books are also green or light blue for the same reason. Restaurant owners not only have to know how to make food, but also have to know how to make money. Here are some things they've learned from scientific studies. The color red makes people hungry. Many fast food restaurants have red furniture or walls. Soft colors like pink and light blue make people feel relaxed, so they spend more time eating. Loud music may be nice at first, but it soon makes people want to leave. Hard seats also make customers want to eat quickly and leave. Many restaurants, especially fast food restaurants, use this knowledge to make customers eat faster.（1）How does the color green make the students feel?A. Hungry.B. Nervous.C. Angry.D. Relaxed.（2）Which color isn't mentioned in this passage?A. Green.B. White.C. Light blue.D.

Every day they are very busy trying to make money for my schooling.One day, my mother was sewing a quilt（缝被子）.I silently sat beside her."Mom, is there love between you and Dad? "I asked in a very low voice.With surprise in her eyes, she stopped her work for a while. Then she said, "Susan, look at this thread（线）.It can hardly be seen, but it's really there. It makes the quilt strong. If life is a quilt, love should be a thread. Love is inside."I couldn't understand her until the next spring. At that time, my father suddenly got sick seriously. My mother had to stay with him in the hospital for a month.After they were back, my mother helped my father walk slowly on the country road every day. They were so kind to each other and it seemed they were the happiest couple.After two months my father still couldn't walk by himself."Dad, how are you feeling now? "I asked him one day."Susan, don't worry about me, "he said. "I just like walking with your mom. I like this kind of life."

They prefer to teach themselves because they like to develop their own ways of thinking. They think standard ways of teaching might stop people from being creative and having new ideas.Lesson 2: The answer might not be what you expectFind your answers from facts-not start with an expectation of what you will find. Stephen Jacobsen believed what he was taught: that water on Earth came from icy comets（封星） or planets which hit into Earth.However, by studying a special rock, he discovered that it acted like a sponge（海绵）. This suggested that Earth's water might have come from inside, driven to the surface to form the oceans, by geological activity."I had a pretty hard time making others believe it, "he said. "But thinking about the fact that you may be the first person to see something for the first time doesn't happen very often. When it does, it's amazing."Lesson 3: A little luck goes a long wayYears of planning went into a recent achievement in space travel. The European Space Agency's "Philae", a robot landing craft, met up with Comet 67P, which was 480 million kilometres away. The trip from Earth by "Philae" had taken ten years!The scientists had no idea what the surface of the comet would be like. If the landing failed, it would be impossible to get information from the spacecraft. Twenty years of work would have been wasted.When "Philae" tried to land, it bounced（弹起）away from the comet's icy surface twice. Luckily, however, "Philae" landed successfully and began sending information back to Earth. （1）Bill Gates and Mark Zuckerberg left college because____________.A. they preferred to learn by themselvesB. they needed standard ways of teachingC. their teachers didn't like their new ideasD. their teachers weren't able to teach them （2）In Lesson 2, the writer mainly wants to tell us that___________.A. we should get answers from factsB. we can believe what we are taughtC. it's hard to make others believe somethingD. an expectation can help get an answer in research（3）The example of "Philae" in Lesson 3 shows that________.A. Comet 67P was not far away from EarthB. it took "Philae"2o years to reach Comet 67PC. "Philae" landed on Comet 67P with a little luckD. scientists know nothing about the surface of Comet 67P（4）The best title for this passage is_____.A. Ways of learningB. Lessons for successC. Ways of being specialD. Lessons for experiments8．阅读理解Populations of white-tailed deer（白尾鹿） are growing rapidly in many parts of the United States. As populations grow, food becomes a problem. Many deer die of hunger. Others grow up small and unhealthy. In search of food, hungry deer move closer to where humans live. They eat farm crops, vegetables and even trees. Besides, increased numbers of deer near roads can cause traffic accidents.People admire the grace and fast speed of deer. Most people don't want these animals to be hungry and ill. Should people take action to control the growing deer populations?Should People Take Direct Action?Many people think that hunting（打猎） is the best way to control the animal populations. Wildlife managers will see if there's enough food in an area and decide its carrying capacity（容量）. Then hunters with licenses are sent to help control the number of deer. Hunting is usually not allowed in cities or suburbs, however.Some people have the idea to catch the deer and move them to other places. But this methodis expensive and requires finding another place that can accept the deer without breaking the balance of ecosystem（生态系统）.Scientists are also working to develop chemicals（化学药品） to control the birth rate（率）in deer populations. But this plan works for only one year at a time.Should People Take Indirect Action?Some suggest bringing in natural enemies of deer, such as wolves, lions and bears, to areas with too many deer. But these animals could also hurt dogs, cats, and even humans. Other communities have built tall fences（篱笆） around areas to keep out the deer. However, this is impossible for farmers.▲Some people are against any kind of action. They support leaving the deer alone. Animal populations in an area naturally go up and down over time. Doing nothing means that some deer will die of hunger or illness. But finally, the population will reach a size within the carrying capacity（容量） of the environment.

Blue LightningSally loved cars more than anything else. This spring she thought of building a go-kart to enter for the Go-Go Race. So she asked her dad for help."Well," he said. "How about this: you do some research first and then come back to me with a design."A week later, Sally brought her notes and drawings to Dad. She named her go-kart "Blue Lightning". Dad looked over her work, thinking. "Well, that's interesting," he said. "Have a try. Just build Blue Lightning as you've designed."Over three weekends of hard work, Sally turned her design into a real, working go-kart and painted it light blue. Dad asked her to take it for a test drive. Sally agreed.After she did that, Sally drove back to Dad. "Well," she said. "Now I know why you wanted me to have a test drive.""Oh, do you?" he said. "Please share.""When I drove fast, there was a lot of pushback," she said. "I think it's because of the lightning bolt （闪电） shape.""Very good!" Dad said."So, why didn't you tell me about that problem in the first place?" Sally asked.Dad laughed. "Where's the fun in that? If you give a man a fish, he'll eat for a day. But if you teach a man to fish, he'll eat for a lifetime."Sally said, "I see. Anyway, designing is half the fun!"Dad smiled. "Good. Sometimes, learning happens during the process. We learn how to do something right by doing it a few times first and making mistakes along the way."That encouraged Sally and she worked even harder.

According to a new study, a baby’s cry can make adults react very quickly, even if they are not related.Oxford University researchers used the classic game whack-a-mole for the study. Whack-a-mole requires people to hit one of nine buttons (按钮). The players must react as quickly as they can to whichever of the buttons lights up at random. It is a game that requires speed and accuracy (准确度).The study included 40 men and women volunteers aged 19 to 59. Some of them had sons or daughters but none had a baby at the time. They played whack-a-mole after listening to different sounds, including babies crying, the crying of adults in trouble and birdsong played at a similar pitch to the babies’ cries.The volunteers’ scores were higher after listening to the sound of crying babies. Men and women had similar scores overall. The results showed that a crying baby gets special attention.“Few sounds make people react quite like the cry of a baby,”said Morten Kringelbach of Oxford’s psychiatry department, who led the study. “For example, it’s almost impossible to ignore crying babies on planes. This is true even though there are so many other noises around.”He added that a baby’s cry can increase adults’ heart rate and blood pressure. This is understandable, because in the course of human evolution (进化), taking care of babies has always been an important job for adults. When a baby is hungry or feeling bored or unwell, it will cry. As a result, human brains and bodies develop a special reaction to a baby’s cry.Choose the best answer:1. According to the passage, which of the following statements is TRUE?A. There were 80 volunteers who took part in the study.B. The youngest volunteer was 19 and the oldest was 59.C. Some volunteers had babies at that time in the study.D. The volunteers were affected by the sound of a baby’s cry.2. The game “whack-a-mole” shows ______.A. a baby’s cry can get special attention from adultsB. men and women have different reaction speed and accuracyC. adults without babies react less quickly to a baby’s cryD. women react to a baby’s cry more quickly than men3. According to the passage, a baby’s cry ______.A. has the same pitch as birdsongB. is the noisiest sound there isC. can increase adults’ heart rate and blood pressureD. is good for its health4. From the last paragraph, we learn that ______.A. taking care of the younger babies was the most important thing in the pastB. human brains and bodies have developed to take care of babiesC. baby cries are a good way make adults react quicklyD. baby cries have developed a lot during the course of human evolutionThe dewdropAS the sun rose, a dewdrop (露珠) woke up. There it sat on a leaf, catching the sunlight. Proud of its simple beauty, it was very happy. Around it were other dewdrops, some on the same leaf and some on other leaves. The dewdrop was sure that it was the best, the most special dewdrop of them all.Ah, it was good to be a dewdrop.The wind blew and the plant began to shake, tipping (使倾斜) the leaf. The dewdrop became frightened as it started to move towards the edge (边缘) of the leaf. Why was this happening? Things were comfortable. Things were safe. Why did they have to change? Why? Why?The dewdrop reached the edge of the leaf. It was sure that this was the end. The day had only just begun and the end had come so quickly. It seemed so unfair. It seemed so meaningless. It tried hard to do whatever it could to stay on the leaf, but it was no use.Finally, it fell. Below there was a mirror. A reflection of the dewdrop seemed to be coming up to meet it. Closer and closer they came together until finally... the tiny dewdrop became a part of the great pond (池塘). Now the dewdrop was no more, but it was not destroyed.It had become one with the whole.By Peter HughesChoose the best answer:1. According to Paragraph 1, we know that the dewdrop _____.A. didn’t get on well with other dewdropsB. thought its beauty was too simpleC. couldn’t get any sunlightD. regarded itself as the best dewdrop2.
