九年级中考英语阅读理解专练第（一）篇Tea and coffee are two of the most popular drinks in the world. However, people usually like one more than the other. These drinks also have very different uses.Tea drinking started in China over 4,000 years ago. Tea is made from leaves. These days, some people drink tea for health, using it to help with stress(压力) or losing weight. However, most people in tea-drinking countries think of tea as more than just a healthy drink. In fact, tea drinking in some countries is a part of the culture. In Turkey(土耳其), tea is always there when people meet. Whether in someone’s home or a company, tea is always offered as a way of welcoming. In the UK, homes and offices usually have tea time. Tea and other dishes are served at tea time in the afternoon. It is a way of relaxing with friends .Coffee came much later than tea, just over 1,000 years ago. Coffee is made from beans. Something in the coffee beans makes a person feel active. Most people do not drink coffee to relax. Instead, they drink coffee to get going. Many people drink coffee in the morning to help them wake up. Others will also drink coffee during short breaks in the afternoon to keep going through the working day. Some people may visit coffee shops just to meet and talk with friends. However, many people in coffee shops drink coffee while working on their computers.Is tea or coffee more common in your country? Between the two, which do you like to drink more?1.

Take famous poet Li Bai for example. His family nam e, which came from his father’s name, was Li. His given name was Bai, and his courtesy name was Taibai.People used their given names when they were among family members. But in social life, they called each other by their courtesy names to show respect. This was mostly done among people of similar age. If you were talking about yourself, or if your elders were talking about you, the given name would be used instead of the courtesy name.Men would get their courtesy names when they turned 20. It was a symbol of adulthood (成年礼). Women would get their courtesy names after getting married.One’s courtesy name often had something to do with one’s given name. For example, the name of Mencius was Meng Ke. His courtesy name was Ziyu. Both Ke and Ziyu mean “carriage (马车)”. Zhuge Liang’s given name was Liang, which means “bright”. His courtesy name was Kongming, which means “very bright”.1. How many parts are there in people’s names in ancient China?A. three.B. four.C. five.D. six.2.

Even though snowflakes are related to winter, she let others feel warmth, hope and light through her performance. “I’m also disabled and I want to do something for them with my music,” said Ma.Ma went blind at the age of two because of an illness. She became interested in music when she was young. She started to learn to play the piano at five and the violin at nine, experiencing the “colorful” music through sound and emotion.Ma’s mother Ha Chunyan, a former music teacher in a primary school, helped her memorize the music score (乐谱) before she played the piano. Ma could not see the keys and always played the wrong notes. It took her thousands of tries to play a piece correctly.Learning the violin was more challenging. Ma needed to feel the teacher’s hands, arms and back to learn the movements, and listen to the strings (弦) over and over again to feel the muscles (肌肉) herself.“After three years of learning, she still could not make any sound except terrible noises,” said Ha, who advised her daughter to give up the violin. But Ma said, “As I’ve been practicing so long, it’s hard to give up. I believe I will play better if I persist in practicing.”In 2018, Ma got a chance to follow Sheng Yuan and Cao Yuhan, famous musicians from the CentralConservatory of Music, to study music in Beijing. She left her home in Ningxia to follow her musical dream, though she knew there would be more challenges ahead.Ma expressed her excitement about performing at the big event. “All my hard work has paid off.

Ma’s story tells us __________.A. old habits die hardB. there is no place like homeC. practice makes perfectD. a good friend is like a mirror第（四）篇We know many musical instruments well, such as pianos, violins, drums and so on. What about the erhu? The erhu is a traditional Chinese instrument. It is the most popular of the huqin family, and it has a long history.The modern erhu developed from the xiqin, which was played by many ethnic minorities (少数民族) during the Tang Dynasty. In the Song Dynasty, musicians began to use the erhu to perform different kinds of music, and itbecame quite a popular instrument. With the rise of some forms of folk art, the art of the erhu developed quickly during the Ming and Qing Dynasties. It became an important accompanying (伴奏) instrument in different folk music. At present, it is used in both traditional and modern music, such as in pop, rock and jazz. It has even become a solo (独奏) instrument. One of the most famous musical pieces played on the erhu is Erquan Yingyue.As the erhu was mainly played by common people and the playing skills were passed down orally (口头地), there are few written records about the erhu that can be found. To study the history and the development of the erhu, historians (历史学者) usually turn to ancient paintings. The earliest pictures of this instrument were found in Yulin Caves and Eastern Thousand Buddha Caves in Gansu Province, where five erhu pictures were discovered on murals (壁画).1.

The passage mainly talks about ________.A. the forms of folk musicB. the history of the erhuC. the rise of different dynastiesD. the development of Chinese instruments第（五）篇Just a few days after his 18th birthday, Beijing 2022 gold medal winner Su Yiming received a surprise gift—aletter from Xi Jinping, President of the People’s Republic of China.In the letter, Xi expressed his congratulations to Su and other sportsmen in ice and snow sports for their great achievements at the Beijing Winter Olympics, hoping what they had achieved would encourage young Chinese to aim(立目标) high.When Su first stepped onto a snowboard at the age of four, a future as a world-class sportsman seemed to be “a dream too big” for him. Little did he know that he would not only compete for his country but also take home gold. With the great excitement of winning an Olympic gold medal still fresh in his mind, Su wrote a letter to the president, telling him how lucky he felt to have made his dream come true.Su still remembers what Xi wrote in the reply, “The new era is the time for young people to realize their dreams.”“I have always kept those words in my mind,” Su said.“When I made up my mind to be a professional(职业的) snowboarder, I know there is a big gap between my performance(表现) and that of the top sportsmen in the world. But I have been working hard to realize my dream. Now my story shows the fact that hard work will pay off.” Su said.Su believes the sky is the limit. “Find the thing you love, believe in yourself and do your very best. Finally, your dream will come true.”Now Su has his strong wish to win all the competitions in his sporting field.1. What was the surprise gift Su Yiming got after his birthday?A. A letter.B.

Most of them cover huge areas of land where nobody lives, and usually far way from cities. However, the National Parks in England include places where people live and work, as well as wild areas where there are few human activities.The National Parks in England are called “England’s Breathing Spaces” because they are places where people can go to be in the open air, away from the dirt and noise of cities. They provide wonderful scenes of mountains, woods, grasslands and wetlands. And there are plenty of activities to do in all of the National Parks in England. Visitors can walk or ride bikes for fun. Many of the parks put on activities for families.Every year there are about 110 million visitors to the parks, bringing many benefits(益处) to the areas. At the same time, it creates problems too. First, life can be difficult for local people. Car parks and roads are too crowded. Gift shops and cafes take the place of many everyday shops. Even house prices in some areas can become too high. Besides, country roads can be damaged, for too many people walk, cycle or ride horses on them. Roads can be rebuilt, but then they look less natural. Another big problem to the National Parks is litter. In the parks it is a danger to wild animals. Broken glass can also cause fires by focusing the rays of the sun. Such fires in wild places can be out of control.How can people help? All National Parks in England are making more rules, which tell people how to take good care of their environment. If these rules are followed, the National Parks will be well kept and continue to give pleasure to many people for a very long time.1.According to paragraph 1, what can we learn about the National Parks?A.There are only several national parks in the worldB.

In geographical newspapers第（八）篇During work hours, among the sounds of machines, the kitche n of Bach’s Bakery (面包房) is especially tidy and quiet, not because of any rules against talking during work hours, but because all of the workers have a hearing disability. They are hard-working and professional in their work, and use sign language to communicate with each other from time to time.Bach’s Bakery lies in Changsha City, Hunan Province. It is run by a German couple, Uwe Brutzer and his wife Dorothee Brutzer, who started it up ten years ago with the purpose of creating more jobs for those disabled in the neighborhood. So far, Bach’s Bakery has trained around 30 hearing disabled people. While some skilled workers found jobs in other bakeries and hotels and have been able to live on their own, several of them have stayed to work atthe bakery after they completed the training.The Brutzers’ work has won the support of many people in China. With the spread of news about the bakery, many Internet users learned about Bach’s Bakery and its inspiring story. As a result, many local people in Changsha as well as visitors from other parts of the country come to buy their products, Uwe said that public attention has encouraged them a lot and helped grow the bakery’s business, resulting in workers getting higher pay. However, what he values more is that, through media (媒体) reports, more people have come to understand that disabled people can work as well as other people when they are given chances.Now, as they are preparing to return to Germany, they have found a German couple teaching in China as the new managers, and handed over the bakery to a public welfare (福利) organization. Their wish is to continue providing free training for the hearing disabled and that the bakery will never be changed into a shop with moneymaking as its main goal.1.

What’s the best title for the passage?A. A Silent BakeryB. A Special WishC. The Success of the DisabledD. The Rules of Bach’s Bakery第（九）篇Scientists are looking for ways that we can effectively use the light and heat from the sun. One idea that has caught their imagination is solar roads. They are expected to produce clean and renewable energy.With solar panels on the surfaces, solar roads cost more than traditional roads. However, besides the functions of traditional roods, they have the panels to receive sunlight and change it into the energy to supply power to homes, factories and street lighting. There are four layers in a solar panel:•Base layer: It is made of insulation material and forms a good grip with the road below this layer.•Middle layer: This is the most important layer. It holds all kinds of power lines connecting all the solar parts in the panel, like LED lights and the heating system.•Top layer: This layer is super-strong glass. It allows the panel to hold the weight of the heaviest vehicles.•Capping: This is the topmost layer used to offer extra protection to the solar parts in the panel. The layer must be rough enough to provide the traction for the safety of vehicles.With the smart design, solar roads can successfully charge the vehicles on them. And the roads have inbuilt LED lights to replace the traditional rood signs and lines, which are usually painted and harmful to humans. What’s more, the heating systems in the solar roads can take care of the snow and ice on the roads for drivers.Test solar roads have been built in several countries (France, China, USA, etc.) since 2014. The first word solar road project, Metrics of Watt Way in France, was set up by a French company called Construction Colas. It was an example of low effectiveness. In the first year, it had been expected to produce around 767 kWh of energy a day, but it only produced 409 kWh. Even so, the production could increase with design improvements. Of course, more time is needed before this technology is put into use.Solar roads may not be widely used in the near future, but they are indeed great for an environment-friendly and energy-saving world.1. Solar roads ________.A. offer power to homesB. get energy from factoriesC. keep the sunlight awayD. cost less than traditional roods2. Which of the following about the layers of a solar panel is TRUE according to the passage?A. The base layer is the most important layer.B. There are many power lines in the middle layer.C. The top layer lies on the top of the solar panel.D. The capping should be smooth enough for drivers.3. The first world solar road project ________.A. was set up in China in 2014B. showed high effectiveness as expectedC. was started by a US companyD. could get better with design improvements4. What is the best title for the passage?A. Solar Roads: A Widely Used InventionB. Solar Roads: A Safety Guard for DriversC. Solar Roads: A New Idea for Clean EnergyD. Solar Roads: A Way to Produce LED Lights5. Which part of newspaper may you read this passage?A. HistoryB. FashionC. SportD. Environment第（十）篇Steven Spielberg is the world’s most famous director. Hundreds of millions of people around the world have seen his films like Firelight, Amblin’ and The Color Purple. His films include two of the most popular films: Jurassic Park and E.T: The Extraterrestrial.Each of Steven’s parents had a deep influence on the young boy’s growing and character.

Steven enjoyed this exciting circus (马戏团) story, however he could not understand how a circus could perform on a screen.

Steven’s father handed Steven the camera and asked him to try. The first efforts were terrible, but Steven was interested in camera. He used his toys as characters and began making short films. By his teens Steven had made his first short film, called The Great TrainCrash. Before long the Spielberg house began to look like a film set, with furniture and lights being moved around to prepare for a new film.He is skilled in making a film excite, sadden or amuse people as they watch it. Spielberg understands the life in the countryside, television and fast cars, all of which became more common in his childhood in 1950s America.

10道中考阅读理解训练题第一篇：Swimming and English LearningCan you swim? Do you like swimming? Yes? Well, how can you learn to swim? I think the best way is to go into the water and learn. I’m afraid you’ll never learn to swim just by reading books about swimming or looking at others swimming. It’s the same with the English study. We must practice, practice and practice.Listening and speaking are very important for beginners. The children in English-speaking countries first listen to others. Then they try to imitate and speak. We can listen to English programs on radio. You may just understand a few words. It doesn’t matter. Just be relaxed, try to catch every word.Somebody may be a good listener. But he dare not speak. He’s afraid of making mistakes. You know we so metimes make mistakes when we speak Chinese. Don’t be afraid. We must be brave. If you really want to learn English well, you must try to speak with everyone so long as he knows English. Whether you know him or not is not important when there’s nobody to t alk with, you can talk to yourself in English. It’s interesting and also a good way to practice your spoken English. Remember, the more you speak, the fewer mistakes you’ll make.Reading and writing are more important for senior school students. First we must choose the books we’re interested in. A lot of reading will improve your language sense. This is the most important.Keep writing English diaries. We can also write English articles. You may even post them to English magazines. Don’t be afraid of failu re. Failure is the mother of success.Easier said than done. Well, let’s do more practice from now on.

初中英语阅读理解训练及参考答案(通用9篇)
初中英语阅读理解训练及参考答案（通用9篇）中考英语阅读理解及解析篇一Advertisers Perform a Useful Service to the CommunityAdvertisers tend to think big and perhaps this is why they’re always coming in for criticism. Their critics seem to resent them because they have a flair for self-promotion and because they have so much money to throw around. ‘It’s iniquitous,’ they say, ‘that this entirely unproductive industry (if we can call it that) should absorb millions of pounds each year. It only goes to show how much profit the big companies are making. Why don’t they stop advertising and reduce the price of their goods? After all, it’s the consumer who pays…’The poor old consumer! He’d have to pay a great deal more if advertising didn’t create mass markets for products. It is precisely because of the heavy advertising that consumer goods are so cheap. But we get the wrong idea if we think the only purpose of advertising is to sell goods. Another equally important function is to inform. A great deal of the knowledge we have about household goods derives largely from the advertisements we read. Advertisements introduce us to new products or remind us of the existence of ones we already know about. Supposing you wanted to buy a washing machine, it is more than likely you would obtain details regarding performance, price, etc., from an advertisement.Lots of people pretend that they never read advertisements, but this claim may be seriously doubted. It is hardly possible not to read advertisements these days. And what fun they often are, too! Just think what a railway station or a newspaper would be like without advertisements. Would you enjoy gazing at a blank wall or reading railway byelaws while waiting for a train? Would you like to read only closely printed columns of news in your daily paper? A cheerful, witty advertisement makes such a difference to a drab wall or a newspaper full of the daily ration of calamities.We must not forget, either, that advertising makes a positive contribution to our pockets. Newspapers, commercial radio and television companies could not subsist without this source of revenue. The fact that we pay so little for our daily paper, or can enjoy so many broadcast programmes is due entirely to the money spent by advertisers. Just think what a newspaper would cost if we had to pay its full price!Another thing we mustn’t forget is the ‘small ads.’ which are in virtually every newspaper and magazine. What a tremendously useful service they perform for the community! Just about anything can be accomplished through these columns. For instance, you can find a job, buy or sell a house, announce a birth, marriage or death in what used to be called the ‘hatch, match and dispatch’ column but by far the most fascinating section is the personal or ‘agony’ column. No other item in a newspaper provides such entertaining reading or offers such a deep insight into human nature. It’s the best advertisement for advertising there is!1. What is main idea of this passage?A. Advertisement.B. The benefits of advertisement.C. Advertisers perform a useful service to communities.D. The costs of advertisement.2. The attitude of the author toward advertisers isA. appreciative.B. trustworthy.C. critical.D. dissatisfactory.3. Why do the critics criticize advertisers?A. Because advertisers often brag.B. Because critics think advertisement is a “waste of money”。

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

For me, it is more than twenty dollars per hour.Like other eighteen-year-old girls, I chose to work in a clothing shop. On the first day, I was trained to fold and organize platform after platform of clothes. The work didn’t seem easy to me because everything had to be done in an accurate way. I felt a little impatient because I couldn’t get it right the first couple of times. The manager told me not to be impatient and taught me skills on how to finish the work well. After hundreds of tries, I had the clothes folded perfectly. Then it took me thirty minutes to get them all looking uniform. Now, I fold and organize clothes in the shop every day, and I am able to do them well. Through this experience, I’ve learned patience can help me in the work.Helping customers and connecting with them are the things I love most in the shop. About three weeks ago, I helped an old lady who was looking for a special dress. She told me exactly what she was picturing—a blue dress with long sleeves and a lace neck. We didn’t have any such dress, and when I explained that to her, she wasn’t very happy. Instead of getting impatient, I tried getting to learn about her interest first. We shared our love of the fashion show. I also asked her what the dress was for, so I could help her get the clothes she liked. Everything I did worked. She found other items she liked and finally bought some new blouses and jeans worth of $300. This experience has taught me how to meet customers’ needs.I’ve experienced frustrations and challenges in the work. To do well, I must learn to deal with them. The work experience changed me a lot and helped me in other aspects of my life as well.1．How old was the writer when she worked in a clothing shop?____________________________________________2．Why did the writer think the work was difficult?____________________________________________3．Who gave the writer a hand and taught her how to finish the work well?____________________________________________4．What was the old lady looking for at first?____________________________________________5．How did the writer manage to meet the customers’ needs in Paragraph 3?____________________________________________6．According to the writer, what changes could help her in other aspects of her life?(No more than 15 words)____________________________________________（2022·上海崇明·模拟预测）Answer the questions（根据短文内容回答问题）“I’m Captain Carter Harrison. I’m here to visit Mrs. Melissa Harrison,”said Mr. Harrison to the front desk. “Oh, Melissa has been asking about you all week. She is looking forward to seeing you. Here is your visitor ID,” the receptionist said. “She is in Room 3417.”The young man came to the door and slowly opened it. Inside, an elderly woman lying in bed slowly opened her eyes. “Daddy,” she said quietly.“Oh! Melissa has aged so much since I last saw her a few months ago!” Harrison thought to himself. Of course, a few months’ ship time means that years have passed on Earth.“How was your trip, Daddy? Did you bring me back anything?” Melissa asked. She welcomed him home excitedly – just like a little girl. “Sure. Look at these – a coin from Planet 8 and a diamond from Planet 173.” She smiled and nodded (点头示意) towards her shelf. Hundreds of small stones and statues lay across its top. He placed the objects with the rest of her collections.Melissa was sleeping now. Harrison pulled a chair up to her bedside. Warm tears filled his eyes. “I am sorry, Melissa,” he said softly, “Your grandparents brought you up to be a perfect young woman, but I missed your first steps. I was asked to work as a captain for only two years. However, we had lost so many men in the First Space War. I couldn’t just leave my soldiers. I must help protect our planet.”Harrison held her hand in silence for a long time. He knew this was possible the last time he would see his daughter alive. It would be five years’ Earth time before he came back from space again.There would be another 30 years before he retired, Harrison thought. He would lose hundreds of years of Earth time. And each time he returned, he would learn that his loved ones had died and new ones had been born.Harrison thought for a moment and wrote her daughter a note. It said, “ 6 ”. Then he kissed her and quietly left the room.Outside, he caught an air taxi. He took a deep breath and climbed into his taxi.7．The elderly woman was Captain Carter Harrison’s mother, wasn’t she?___________________________________________________________8．What did Harrison bring back to Melissa?___________________________________________________________9．Who took care of Melissa when she was a little girl?___________________________________________________________10．What did Harrison do during the time he was asked to work as a captain?___________________________________________________________11．How soon would Harrison come back to the Earth again?___________________________________________________________12．Harrison wrote her daughter a note before he left.

The author is Bill Bryson. Bryson returned to the US after 20 years in Britain and decided to get familiar with his native country by walking the Appalachian Trail（阿巴拉契亚山道）.The trail, about 3,500 kilometers long, is popular with thousands of hikers. It goes from Springer Mountain in Georgia to Mountain Katahdin in Maine. The story offers a landscape of silent forests and beautiful lakes. But as a writer with comic genius, Bryson also finds humor in the struggles that he and his old friend, Stephen Katz, went through.Lots of silly things happen along the way. At the beginning, Bryson reads about the dangers of the wild and stays awake for hours each night, because he is worried he will be killed by bears. Later the two middle-aged men try to climb a mountain but get caught in a snow-storm. They get lost more than once, but they always manage to find their way back to the trail. They also meet a lot of strange people.But the story is more than just a laugh-out-loud hike. Bryson also talks about acid rain（酸雨）, the hunting ofbirds, and damage to the ecosystem（生态系统）. It’s a mix of the silly and the serious, a fresh way of getting readers to actually care about the environment problems. As the website Book Browse said in a review, the book “will certainly become a modern classic of travel literature”.13．Bill Bryson comes from Britain, doesn’t he?______________________________________14．How long is the Appalachian Trail?______________________________________15．Why does Bryson stay awake for hours each night during his life on the trail?______________________________________16．What happens to Bryson and his friend when they try to climb a mountain?______________________________________17．What is the implied（隐含的）meaning of the underlined sentence?The book not only __________________, but also __________________.18．Please give a proper title for the passage.

Talking to someone who listens but is not a close family member is very important.”What is a life coach?An athlete improves because he trains with a coach. A life coach can also guide you to success. A life coachencourages you to think not only about what you want, but also about how you are going to get it. Until now, life coaches have helped adults, for example business executives who need to make decisions or parents who want some advice on bringing up their children. Now it’s the turn of our young people.Life Coach Simone WaltzSimon Waltz, a former radio producer, set up her life coaching company five years ago. “I offer teenagers a place to talk, to decide on their future plans and to sort out problems, ” says Waltz. Jem’s parents are delighted with what Waltz has done.

I nose around neighbourhoods where people don’t seem to know each other very well. That way, I won’t be noticed. Next, I try to find a house where the people are on holiday and not likely to return soon. I do this by looking for houses with no lights on in the evening. Then I look at doorways. They’re a sure giveaway(暴露). When newspapers, mail, and deliveries are piled up, I can tell that people have been away from days. I can even count how many days from the number of newspapers.Reporter: 4 ?Fingers: Well, usually it’s easy and effortless. Lots of times people leave a window open, or doors and windows unlocked. Then I just slip in, when I have to break in, I look for a patio(露台) door on the first floor. They usually have weak locks and you can force them easily. I watch out for dogs, though.

中考英语阅读理解(10篇)及答案
The weather is getting hotter. You are thirsty playing basketball or riding home from school. A cold drink may be just the thing. But be careful what you are drinking. Something that looks cool may not be good for your health.There are plenty of "energy drinks" on the market. Most of them have beautiful colors and cool names. The lists on them tell you they are helpful to your health. Sounds great!But after a careful check you may find that most energy drinks have lots of caffeine （咖啡因）in them. These drinks are especially aimed at young people, students, busy people and sports players. Makers sometimes say their drinks make you better at sports and can keep you awake. But be careful not to drink too much.Caffeine makes your heart beat fast. Because of this, the International Olympic Committee has limited（限制）its use. Caffeine in most energy drinks is at least as strong as that in a cup of coffee or tea. Possible health dangers have something to do with energy drinks. Just one box of energy drink can make you nervous, have difficulty sleeping and can even cause heart problems. Scientists say that teenagers should be discouraged from taking drinks with a lot of caffeine in them.（）6. Many people like drinking energy drinks because of the following EXCEPT that ________.A. they have beautiful colors and cool namesB. they have lots of caffeineC. they can keep them awake and better at sportsD. they are said to be helpful to health（）7.

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

She was not at all liked by others.（）15. The underlined word "overcome" means "_________" in Chinese.A. 接受B. 忍受C. 信服D. 克服阅读理解（3）ASixteen years ago a boy gave me an important gift. It was a smile.It was the early autumn of my first year at a middle school, and my old school was far away. As a result, no one knew who I was. I was very lonely, and afraid to speak to anyone.Every time I heard the other students talking and laughing, I felt my hear t break.

When you are eating, notice how your body feels. When your stomach feels comfortably full, stop eating. Eating too much makes you feel uncomfortable. If you do it too often, it can make you unhealthy and fat.（4）. Limit screen time. What’s screen time? It’s the amount of time you spend watching TV, movies and playing computer games.

They took 26 more samples, some from more than 0.6 miles （1 kilometre）below the surface.They found micro plastics in all but one of the 97 samples taken, with an average of about 40 micro plastic particles （颗粒） in every cubic（立方的） metre. In the study, the scientists used a tool based on infrared light-a kind oflight that humans are unable to see. This tool allowed them to figure out not just which bits were plastic, but exactly what kind of plastic they were.Over 92% of the micro plastics found were small threads, called microfibres（超细纤维）. About 73% of these fibres were made of a plastic known as polyester（聚酯）. The researchers looked into the size and colour of the fibres and found they matched polyester used in clothing.The study found far more micro fibres near the Atlantic side of the Arctic Ocean than near the Pacific side. The fibres on the Atlantic side were also newer. The team believes this suggests that the fibres come from Europe and North America. Peter Ross, who led the research, said,"With these polyester fibres, we've created a cloud throughout the world's oceans. "Most samples were taken from an ocean layer（表层） where lots of sea life finds food. The scientists believe this means that many kinds of sea life, from the smallest to the largest, are likely to be affected by the pollution.So how do these micro fibres get into the sea They breakoff when clothes are washed and are emptied into sewers（下水道） as washing machines drain（排水）. Another studysuggested that laundry （洗衣） from the US and Canada carries around 3,500,000 kilograms of plastic micro fibres into the sea every year.One way to avoid sending so much plastic into the sea is to reduce mar-made materials, especially those that easily break down into microfibres. Washing clothes less oftenwill also help. There are also Special filters（过滤器）for washing machines which help prevent micro fibres from escaping. Currently, people have to buy these filters and add them to their washing machines. If every washing machine came with such a filter built-in, it could make a big difference.（）1. What do we know about the study led by Ocean WiseA. A total of 96 samples contained（包含） micro plastics.B. The samples were collected from different oceans.C. Half of the collected micro plastics were micro fibres.D. Almost all of the micro fibres came from North America. （）2. Why did the researchers study the size and colour of the micro fibresA. To find a way to solve the problem of micro plastics.B. To see what harm they did to the ocean.C. To design new types of tools.D. To know their sources.（）3. What is a solution to the problem mentioned in the textA. Washing clothes by hand.B. Making large washing machines.C. Using natural materials to make clothes.D. Cleaning clothes with certain chemicals（化学品） in water.（）4. What might be the best title for the textA. How pollution affects life in the seaB. Micro plastics are increasing in our livesC. How to protect the oceans and sea animalsD. The Arctic Ocean is polluted with micro plastic fibres BLike most people, you usually start work with the hope of being as productive as possible. Yet, as time goes by, you find your task list grows. What you set out to achieve in the beginning seems to get pushed to the side.You're not alone.Many of us don’t have a process to prioritize tasks and always i eel like we're playing catch-up. We fail to decide what the most important task is evenwhen everything on the to-do list seems important. But we can get ahead and stay on top of dead in es with some simple methods of setting priorities and managing our workload.Here's a simple way to prioritize our dally tasks and focus （专注） on the work that matters most:Of all the things we now have energy for, do the thing we re normally least likely to do. If we have some live frogs（青蛙）to eat for breakfast, the idea is to eat the ugliest one as early as possible.There are several ways this trick（技巧） can benefit us. Doing something we rarely（很少）do is energizing. You do a thing like washing your windows that you never do. Having clean windows won't change your life but it challenges your conception of yourself. It influences how we see ourselves. Getting our body moving gives us energy and can improve our focus.Unfamiliar things often provide more chances to help us grow than familiar ones. When I write for a new publication, it's with a new editor. I get different Ie ed back. I need to change my style to match the style of that publication, so I develop my skills. In this way we'llexpand（发展） ourselves, our skills, and our future opportunities.Some people react to anxiety by working hard on very comfortable things instead of paying attention to uncomfortable tasks that are a higher priority. The way of prioritizing helps prevent us from doing that. It makes it harder to fool ourselves that we re being productive by doing busywork that's super comfortable for us but haslittle chance of changing our life.Should we use this trick all the time No. This is a goodtip for the time when we’ve got energy, but we re swimming in thoughts about all the things we can do, and we re having trouble deciding and focusing.Priorities are great. Knowing our priorities reduces stress, helps us focus and can also improve productivity and time management. But remember to be realistic about how much work we can actually do each day. When we prioritize our work properly, we re sure to have a good day.（）1. What does the underlined word "prioritize" in Paragraph 2 probably meanA. To explain what the most beneficial thing is.B. To decide what should be done first.C. To tell what the most meaningful thing is.D. To discuss what can be achieved.（）2. The ugliest frog refers to _____.A. the animal we fear mostB. the to-do list we've messed upC. the thing we are least likely to doD.the thing that makes our day terrible（）3. What can we learn from the passageA. Doing unfamiliar things possibly improves our skills.B. Doing energizing things shows how we see others.C. Doing things we rarely do leads to the poor focus.D. Doing comfortable things changes our life.（）4. What is the passage mainly aboutA. A solution to reduce our stress.B. Ways to help us focus and decide.C.A trick of increasing our productivity.D.Advantages of developing our skills.CResearchers have reported on new ways to break down plastic. The studies could lead to easier high-quality（高质量的） recycling,and help deal with toxic（有毒的）plastic pollution.The world is being covered by plastic, but only about 9% of plastic products are ever recycled.Every year, over 7.72 trillion kilograms of plastic finds its way into theworld's oceans. But bacteria （细菌）may help recycle plastic, even when humans don't.Bacteria are small living things-so small that we need a microscope（显微镜）to see them.Bacteria feed themselves in many different ways. Some bacteria can "eat" other things by changing the chemicalsin those things into something that will help the bacteria grow.The secret to this is enzymes（酶）. Bacteria use enzymes to cause chemical changes. Enzymes can work like a pair of scissors, cutting and breaking apart other materials.Most people know PET plastic. It is used in water and soda bottles. About 63.5 billion kilograms of PET plastic is produced every year. Most PET is thrown away, but even when it is recycled, it can't be made into new bottles. Usually it's turned into products like carpets（地毯）.Years ago, in the decaying（腐烂的） leaves, scientists discovered an enzyme called LCC that slowly breaks down PET plastic. Years later, scientists working at the Frenchcompany Car bios chose LCC from nearly 100,000 enzymes. It was the best at breaking down PET.But the scientists wanted to improve LCC. They studied the enzyme and the way it at take d the PET. By testing thousands of small changes to the enzyme, they came up with a new kind of LCC.The new kind can be alive at higher temperatures and can eat through PET very quickly.The process turns the PET plastic back into the materials that it was made from.Those materials can then be used again to make new bottles or other products.The researchers compared their new LCC with the old enzyme, and were satisfied with the results. When the environment was just right, the new LCC was able to break down 90% of the PET in just ten hours. The old enzyme took about 20 hours and only broke down half of the PET.（）1. How much PET plastic is produced every yearA. About 7.72 trillion kilogramsB. About 63.5 billion kilograms.C. About 100 thousand kilograms.D. About 2 hundred kilograms.（）2. What do you know about the bacteria from thepassageA. Bacteria can be seen with our eyes.B. Bacteria can break down other materials directly.C. Bacteria use enzymes to create physical changes in things.D.Bacteria are small living things that feed on unusual forms of "food".（）3. According to the passage, what is the relationship between PET plastic and LCCA. The earliest LCC couldn't break down PET plastic.B. LCC can help stop PET plastic from breaking down.C.PET plastic can now be recycled faster because of a new kind of LCC.D. The used PET plastic will become another kind of pollution because of LCC.（）4. Which of the following would be the best title for the passageA. Bacteria: Growing by eating chemicalsB. Enzymes: Working like a pair of scissorsC. PET: Being widely used to make water and soda bottlesD.LCC:Leading to easier high-quality recycling of PET plasticD"Who are you "asked the little prince（王子）."I am a fox,"said the fox."Come and play with me,"said the little prince."I am so unhappy.""I cannot play with you,"the fox said.

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

If you have your goals, this gives you a reason to stick to your plan. For example, if someone asks you to buy a new car, you can say, “Thanks, but I already have a car, so you don’t need to give me some information about cars.”Be polite but firm(坚定) in saying NO. For example, the sentence, “I’ll try to be there” is a good reply to a party invitation. This can give you an excuse not to go to the party.When your superior(上司) asks you to do a new task, you can remind her / him that you are working on other projects.Some experts advise keeping your answer short.

This passage is mainly about “________”.A. How to use ComputersB. Surfing on the InternetC. Information on the InternetD. Internet Safety RulesKey: D BCCDBDo you know why different animals or pests (昆虫) have their special colors? Colors in them seem to be used mainly to protect themselves.Some birds like eating locusts (蝗虫), but birds cannot easily catch them. Why? It is because locusts change their colors together with the change of the colors of crops(庄稼). When crops are green, locusts look green. But as the harvest time comes, locusts change to the same brown color as crops have. Some other pests with different colors from plants are easily found and eaten by others. So they have to hide themselves for lives and appear only at night.If you study the animal life, you’ll find the main use of coloring is to protect themselves. Bears, lions and other animals move quietly through forests. They cannot be easily seen by hunters (猎人). This is because they have the colors much like the trees.Have you ever noticed an even stranger act? A kind of fish in the sea can send out a kind of very black liquid (液体)when it faces danger. While the liquid spreads over (散开), its enemies (敌人)cannot find it. And it immediately swims away. So it has lived up to now though it is not strong at all.()1.From the passage we learn that locusts________.A. are small animalsB. are easily found by birdsC. are dangerous to their enemiesD. change their colors to protect themselves()2.How can pests with different colors from plants keep out of danger?A.

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

It‘s a monster!‖ They sent for all the doctors in the country and ordered them to prepare some medicine for her.“When she drinks your medicine, she must grow to the right size and have hair and teeth,‖ the king said, ―If you don‘t do this, you‘ll have a beating.‖The doctors thoug ht it impossible, but they dared not say anything against the king‘s order. Just then and old doctor stepped forward. ―Oh, we shall certainly obey your order,‖ he said, ―but it takes time. We have to dig a mineral from the KunLun Mountains when the snow melts for the second time. The snow melts on those mountains only once in six years.

He was so well known for his good knowledge of almost everything that lots of people from all over the country came to learn from him. The great man taught his students whole-heartedly and answered their questions with great patience.One day a student asked him, ― My dear teacher, didn‘t you say you yourself have many ,many more questions about things than we do? But I think we students have far more than you.‖With a smile on his face, the teacher drew two circles ,one as large as a big cake, the other smaller. Then he said , ―Of course, I have learned much more. But it‘s wrong to think that a teacher has fewer questions than his students. Now, look at these two circles. The inside of the bigger one is my knowledge of things, and the inside of the smaller one is yours. Out of the circles is what is still unknown to us. Since mine is larger, I have to use the longer line to draw the bigger circle. That means I have more opportun ities to face what is still unknown. And that‘s why I myself have more questions than you do. The more you learn , the more questions you have. Y ou will never learn enough ,you know.‖()1.

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

But most people want to go into the freezer(冷藏库).These are believers in cryogenics(低温冷冻学).Now some diseases can’t be cured, but they may be cured sometime in the future. So some people hope that their bodies can be frozen after they die. When a cure is found, warm up his or her body, bring it back to life and take the cure. Once the body is frozen, it is kept in liquid nitrogen(液态氮) at a temperature of 328 degrees below zero.Now around a thousand people are going to take cryogenic treatment(处理), though most scientists say it won’t work. If we freeze huge creatures(生物) like humans, every one of their cells(细胞) will be broken. Can they be brought back to life in the future?根据短文内容回答下列各问题。

On the ground lay a young tree, ready to be planted. The rich man called out to the old man, “What kind of tree are you planting there, my good man?”“This is a fig(无花果) tree, sir. ” He said.“A fig tree?” the rich man was very surprised, “Why, how old are you, may I ask?”“I am ninety years old.”“What!” cried the rich man, “You’re ninety years old. You are planting a very young tree now and it’ll take years to give fruit. You certainly don’t hope to live long enough to get any fruit from this tree. ” The old man looked around the garden. Then he said with a smile, “Tell me, sir. Did you eat figs when you were a boy? ”“Sure,” the man did not know why he asked this question. “Then tell me this,” he said, “Who planted the fig trees?” “Why-why? I don’t know.” “You see, sir.” went on the old man,“Our forefathers(祖先) planted trees for us to enjoy and I am doing the same for the people after me.”The rich man was quiet and said, “You are right，my good man.

The factory owner could beat a child who fell asleep or was not fast enough. Both parents and teachers could do the same.Today, there are many laws about children all over the world. Some people think children must obey rules or they should be punished，others do not agree. The Inuits or Eskimos in Alaska almost never punish their children. The parents don’t hit the m. If the children go too far，the parents punish them by making fun of them.Children in other parts of the world are not as lucky as Eskimo children. American parents can spank(打……臀部) their children at home，but a teacher cannot hit a child in a public school. This is also true in Germany. In contrast(对比), it is against the law for anyone to hit a child in Sweden. Swedish parents cannot spank their children. The children also have a special government official who works for their rights. There is even a plan for children to divorce from their parents though this is not a law yet！根据短文内容回答下列各问题。
