This strange bird has a bald head, a bright pink body, red legs, and an unusual bill that is shaped like a spoon at the end. It lives along the coasts of Texas, Florida, Mexico, and South America. It finds food by walking through s hallo w water and swinging its huge bill through the water. It uses its bill to catch and scoop up shrimp and small fish. As it eats, the spoonbill makes a strange noise. Some people say it sounds like a grunt or a groan.Spoonbills are large birds. They are about 30 inches tall. When they spread their wings, they are a light pink color. They become a bright rosy-pink color when they are adults.Spoonbills build their nests in large groups with other birds that live along the coast. Scientists call these groups mixed colonies. Spoonbills use sticks to build next on tree branches or on the ground. Female spoonbills build the nests. Males help by collecting sticks. Females lay two or three large eggs. Both parents take care of the eggs. The chicks hatch in about 23 days.Today there are large numbers of spoonbills in both Texas and Florida. One hundred years ago, however, there were very few spoonbills. They were almost extinct because of their beautiful wing feathers. People used the beautiful feathers to make womean’s hats and fans.When the hunting of these birds was stopped, the number of spoonbills and other coastal birds began to increase. But spoonbills are still in danger today. As people build more house, stores, and roads along the coast, they destroy the wet places where spoonbills like to live. ( )1.

discovered.As the teacher is walking to him,a classmate named Emily is carrying a glass that is full of water.Emily falls down in front of the teacher and drops the glass of water in Tony’s pants.Tony seems to be angry,but all the while he is saying to himself,“Thank you,Dear! Thank you,Dear!”Now all of a sudden,instead of being the person that everyone laughs at,Tony is the person of sympathy(同情).The person that everyone laughs at should be him,but now it is Emily.She tries to help,but they tell her,“You’ve done enough,you stupid!”At the end of the day,as they are waiting for the bus,Tony walks over to Emily and says in a low voice,“You did that on purpose,didn’t you?”Emily says back in a quiet voice,“I wet my pants once,too.”( A )1.What does Tony think the other boys will do if they find out the fact?A.They’ll laugh at him.B.They’ll tell the teacher about it.C.They’ll try to help him.D.They’ll never speak to him again.( A )2.Which is right according to the passage?A.Emily drops the water on purpose.B.Tony is really angry with Emily.C.Tony and Emily don’t go home by bus.D.Tony and Emily aren’t classmates.( D )3.We know that Emily is a girl from the passage.A.careless and lazyB.quiet and brightC.stupid and helplessD.kind and smart( E )(2019咸宁) The year 2022 will be a big year for sports in China.That’s because it will hold not only the 24th Winter Olympics in Beijing,but also the 19th Asian Games in Hangzhou.On Aug.6th,2018,the official emblem (会徽) for the Hangzhou Asian Games was released (发布).The city won the hosting rights for the 2022 Asian Games in 2015.It will be the third Chinese city to host the Asian Games after Beijing and Guangzhou in 1990 and 2010.First held in 1951,the Asian Games is the largest multi-sport event in Asia.It also means a lot to China.The Beijing Asian Games was the first large international sports event to be hosted by China,China News Service reported.To make the Games a great success,Chinese people worked hard to prepare.Beijing built a great number of roads and gyms,including the famous Beijing Olympic Sports Center and Asian Games Village.The Games helped the world see China and its achievements.Since then,China has improved its global image (国际形象),China Youth Daily reported.For the 2022 Asian Games,Hangzhou has already started building 33 sports venues (场馆),according to China Youth Daily.The themes of the Hangzhou Asian Games are “green,smart,economical (节俭) and civilized”.All the Games’buildings will be environmentally friendly.( A )1.Which city will host the 2022 Asian Games?A.Hangzhou.B.Guangzhou.C.Shanghai.D.Beijing.( B )2.What does the underlined word “themes”mean in the last paragraph?A.意义B.主题C.内涵D.标题( D )3.According to the passage,how did the Beijing Asian Games influence China?A.It improved China’s economy (经济).B.It helped China attract more tourists.C.Guangzhou built a lot of roads and gyms.D.It helped the world see China and its achievements.( C )4.Which of the following is NOT TRUE according to the passage?A.The first Asian Games was held in 1951.B.Beijing will hold the 24th Winter Olympics in 2022.C.China has already hosted the Asian Games three times.D.All the 19th Asian Games’buildings will be environmentally friendly.( B )5.What is the main idea of the passage?A.How to prepare for the Asian Games.B.The development of the Asian Games in China.C.Why China wants to host the 19th Asian Games.D.How the 19th Asian Games emblem was designed.( F )(2019河南) Thousands of years ago,Britain was covered by thick forests,home to many animals which no longer live in the United Kingdom.There were wolves and bears,many different kinds of deer and large wild cows.There were less than four million people.They lived in small villages protected by wooden walls from the animals outside.All this has changed,of course.Now the population of the United Kingdom has increased to sixty-five million.Three-quarters of Britain is covered with fields,towns or cities.Although 25 percent of land is countryside,new methods of farming mean that there are fewer birds and small animals living in fields than ever before.The United Kingdom is one of the few countries in the world that does not have a large wild animal that eats meat.In Scotland there are only 400 wildcats,but these are much smaller than wolves.Some people would like to change things,however! Some organizations and writers say that Britain needs to become more natural again.They suggest that trees and plants that grew in the UK before towns and cities were built should be allowed to growagain.They even say that large wild animals which have not lived in the UK should be helped to return and live wild.They call this “rewilding”.Not everyone agrees.In the last twenty years,over one million trees which at first grew in Scotland have been planted and there are plans for more—but wild animals?Some people ask if wolves will attack sheep or even humans.They are also angry that rewilding might mean an end to walking in the hills which so many people enjoy.So far there are no wolves or bears in Britain’s forests—but soon there might be!根据材料内容选择最佳答案。

2020年人教版新目标英语中考阅读理解、完形填空试题及答案1Do you know some of English expressions about clothes? Let me explain some to you.People wear pants to cover the lower part of their bodies. We sometimes say that people who are nervous have ants in their pants. They might also fly by the seat of their pants. They use their natural sense to do something instead of their learned knowledge. Sometimes, people may get caught with their pants down. They are found doing something they should not be doing. And, in every family, one person takes control. Sometimes a wife tells her husband what to do. Then we say she wears the pants in the family.Pants usually have pockets to hold things. Money that is likely to be spent quickly can burn a hole in your pocket. Sometimes you need a belt to hold up your pants. If you have less money than usual, you may have to tighten your bet. You may have to live on less money and spend your money carefully.Boots are a heavy or strong kind of shoes. People who are too big for their boots think they are more important than they really are.( )1.

He said that you couldn’t be happy until you gave up your “racket”. My racket was lying. I lied about a lot of things to make myself happy. I always succeeded in lying to others. I felt happy when people told me I was such a convincing liar. However, I felt sad when I heard a girl say that she hated liars that day.On Saturday, many teenagers started to change. One of my new friends returned the toy bear he had stolen the day before to its owner. He told me that he had never felt so relaxedbefore, and he suggested that I try giving up my “racket”.One Friday morning my parents drove me to a three-day self-help seminar for teens called the Landmark Forum. When we arrived, my parents left me there.When I got home from the Landmark Forum, I tried to stop lying and started to take part in ball games and other activities at school. Now I don’t hate life any longer. I love it! I never knew I could be so happy. That seminar actually changed my life.There was once a man who had four sons. He wanted his sons to learn not to say what something was too quickly. So he sent them each to go and look at a pear tree that was quite far away.The first son went in the winter, the second in the spring, the third in summer, and the youngest son in the fall. When they had all gone and come back, he called them together to tell him what they had seen.The first son said that the tree was quite ugly. The second son said that it was covered with green flowers. The third son said that it was covered with flowers and looked beautiful. The last son disagreed with all of them. He said that there were many fruits on it.The man then explained to his sons that they were all right, because they had each seen but only one season. He told them that they cannot say what a tree or a person was like by only one season. “If you give up when it's winter, you will miss the promise of your spring, the beauty of your summer, and the fruits of your fall.”Hold on through the difficult days and better times are sure to come sooner or later.

In fact, students can take much more advantages than disadvantages when they wear uniforms.The advantages of wearing uniforms:Firstly, school uniforms help to eliminate the different backgrounds among students. When everyone wears the same clothes in a class, the difference between rich and poor students in appearance will no longer be seen.Secondly, wearing uniforms means the school is safer. Uniforms can help to distinguish the bad people who want to break the peace of education environment and steal the school equipment.Thirdly, the students do not need to waste their time in thinking about what to wear before going to school. They will no longer wonder how to wear in the right fashion trend. The parents also save the money from buying the fashionable clothes for their children because they wear uniforms on most weekdays.Last but not least, uniforms help the student to feel more about their school. Wearing uniforms is one way students show the pride and love for their school.( )1. What can we know from the first paragraph?A. Wearing school uniforms has both advantages and disadvantages.B. There are more disadvantages than advantages to wear school uniforms.C. Most students don’t like wearing school uniforms.D. It is not necessary to wear school uniforms.( )2.

At first we made a reservation for a journey to Luxor, Egypt, for the autumn of 1997. The trip was cancelled because of a terrorist attack, which took place in Luzor, so we need to change our plans. We wanted sun, ancient buildings and all for less than $500 a week. We did not have a lot of choices, and so we decided to travel to Tunisia. At last we felt it was not at all a bad decision.When we left for Tunisia we did not have any “deep” understanding of the country, its history or its culture, but once we got there we found it very interesting. We saw ruins from the Roman Empire and the ruined towns. With a little time, these places offer a lot to see. Best of all, most of the place allow visitors to walk around the ruins.

It was a beautiful morning, so he went to the window and looked out. He was surprised to see a neatly dressed, middle-aged professor, who worked in the university just up the road from Mr Jones’s house, coming from the directionof the town. He had grey hair, wore a hat and thick glasses, and was carrying an umbrella, a morning newspaper and a bag. Mr Jones thought that he must have arrived by the night train and decided to walk to the university instead of taking a taxi.Mr Jones had a big tree in his garden, and the children had tied a long rope to one of its branches so that they could swing on it.Mr Jones was surprised to see the professor stop when he saw the rope, and look carefully up and down the road. When he saw that there was nobody, he stepped into the garden, put his umbrella, newspaper, bag and hat neatly on the grass and took hold of the rope. He pulled it hard to see whether it was strong enough to take his weight, then ran as fast as he could and swung into the air on the end of the rope, his grey hair blowing all around his face.At last the professor stopped, straightened his tie, combed his hair carefully, put on his hat, picked up his umbrella, newspaper and bag, and continued on his way to the university, looking as quiet and correct and respectable as one would expect a professor to be( )1.

Let me tell you about it.The word jeans comes from a kind of material that was made in Europe. The material, called jean, was named after sailors from Genoa in Italy, because they wore clothes made from it. In the 18th century jean cloth was made completely from cotton and workers at that time loved wearing itbecause the material was very strong and it did not wear out easily. In the 1960s, many university and college students wore jeans. Designers made different styles of jeans to make the 1960s’ fashion: embroidered jeans, painted jeans and so on. In the 1970s more and more people started wearing jeans because they became cheaper. In the 1980s jeans finally became high fashion clothing, when famous designers started making their own styles of jeans, with their own labels on them. Sales of jeans went up and up. But in the 1990s the worldwide economic situation got worse, and the sale of jeans stopped growing. However, jeans have never been out of fashion, and today young generation is still fond of wearing them.( )1. A. Asia B. America. C. Africa. D. Europe.( )2. A. sold B. made C. wore D. designed( )3.

For example, there are about 350 kinds of sharks that live in oceans around the world. All of the sharks are carnivores, but most of them don’t eat people. Some sharks are very small—the smallest shark is about 6 inches long—about as long as your hand. But some sharks are very large. The largest kinds of sharks may be 60 feet long and weigh 15 tons.Unlike many other kinds of fish, sharks do not have bone. Their bodies are made of a kind of white flexible material. Sharks do not have ears. However, they “hear” sound and move ments in the water. Any sound or movement makes the water vibrate. Sharks feel these vibrations and they help the sharks find food, too. Most sharks see best in low light. They often hunt for food in the evening, or in the middle of the night.Nowadays, scientists want to learn more about sharks for several reasons. For example, cancer is common in many animals, including people. However, it is rare in sharks. Scientists want to find why sharks almost never get cancer. Maybe this information can help people prevent cancer too. ( )1. A. ponds B. cities C. lakes D. oceans( )2. A. and B. so C. but D. or( )3. A. tall B. long C. far D. wide( )4.

But soon she and her classmates got used to this new classroom arrangement (安排). “Now our class is quieter,” said Wu. “What’s more, we can come up with our own ideas and learn more through discussion.

It makes us believe in ourselves.” It was part of a reform (改革) at Li’s school. The school made this reform because they wanted to provide students with easier ways to study and more chances to discuss. “Our school hopes it can improve students’ abilities (能力) to study by themselves and work in groups,” said Zhang Ming, an English teacher.However, the reform has demanded (要求) more from teachers.

Since late January, China has put off (1) the new school semester and encouraged students to study at home over safety concerns.The Ministry of Education issued(发布）a guideline for universities to organize online classes, with 22 online platforms (2) 24,000 courses to students. Online course companies also adopted special ways to (3) students’ demands for online learning during this period, such as free courses and online question-answering services. (4) what has been arranged by your schools as your study routine, what can you gain from online learning? Online courses can offer you a good experience for self-learning.To (5) learn online, you need to dedicate(奉献）a significant amount of your time, consistently attend the program, concentrate(专心）while studying and fully （6）your learning process, just as you would do for a regular course. To stay on track with your online course, always (7) what you hope to complete by the end of it.Make a goal. Predict how much time each task will (8) to complete. Keep detailed notes and review them often. A study plan is important to online learning.First, you need to plan ahead with a good calendar system. Online learning needs (9) . Create a study calendar (10) will help you remember all the important dates like online exams or deadlines for your tasks. A to-do list is useful to prioritize(优先处理）your study plan and to stay on track with your studying.When you feel yourself （11）concentration, consider taking a short break or stopping for the night. It is better to wait until you are able to start afresh (12) waste your time trying to focus.Taking online courses can be very convenient for many people. However, online learning (13) time management skills, self-discipline, willpower and motivation, as it may be challenging for online learners to successfully complete their online courses.(14) American author John C. Maxwell once said, “Success doesn’t just happen. You have to be intentional about it, and that takes discipline.” Take Maxwell’s (15) and make full use of online learning for self-improvement.( )1.A.to start B.starting C.started D.start( )2.A.offer B.offering C.provide D.providing( )3.A.please B.satisfy C.meet D.give( )4.A.Besides B.Except C.Beside D.Except for( )5.A.succeed B.successful C.successfully D.success( )6.A.stick to B.stick into C.stick on D.stick out( )7.A.keep up with B.keep in mindC.keep away fromD.keep in touch with( )8.A.spend B.cost C.take D.pay( )9.A.to organize well anizing wellC.to be organizing wellD.well organized( )10.A.what B.who C.that D.where( )11.A.losing B.to lose C.lost D.lose( )12.A.instead of B.rather than C.instead D.than( )13.A.requires B.requests C.regrets D.replies( )14.A.Like B.As C.Because D.Since( )15.A.advises B.suggestion C.advice D.advices(B)A wonderful article here on China Daily said that spending for education increases annually (1) about 20%. As a foreign teacher here, I'm wondering how it (2) and what are the results. You can spend more money without being effective.One of my biggest questions is: Why do children in the USA stay in school 2-3 hours less each day, have very (3) homework, no weekend classes and still do well in education in comparison to most Chinese students?Now, in my opinion, Chinese students are smart,very intelligent, I know. I teach them. They know how to study hard and for long hours. They know how to stand long classes. Children in the USA wouldn't sit (4) a class of over an hour. 40-50 minutes for most classes at most in the USA.When Chinese students attend university in the USA, their success rate is nearly 100%. Very, very rare does a Chinese child fail in the USA. Why? The answer is the same—they know how to study hard.So, (5) to Chinese children, American children get far less classroom instruction and far less homework at night. Yet there are over 200,000 Chinese college students (6) schools in the U.S. and that number is growing by 25% annually. In 3 years, there will likely be over 400,000 Chinese students studying in the USA.Now, I can reason and reconcile (7) Chinese students want to attend college in the USA. But in my year and a half here, I've met parents (8) children are in middle school and the parents want to send them to the USA. It seems to me that in China, long hours, extra hours and extra days of classes is realized as better education. Schools I've taught at here, (9) adding classes and oftentimes, longer classes. In the West, parents, teachers and students would never permit this. They wouldn't think of sending their children to school on Saturday or Sunday. However, in China, it is very common.I honestly and sincerely don't know the answers to these questions. If Western education is THAT much better, then, shouldn't Western styles of teaching (10) in China? Again, I'm seeking reasonable and intelligent objective answers.( )1.A.to B.by C.at D.in( )2.A.is spent B.spent C.is taken D.took( )3.A.a little B.little C.a few D.few( )4.A.for B.over C.through D. in( )paring pared C.to compare pare( )6.A.joining B.taking C.attending D.joining in( )7.A.why B.how C.what D.where( )8.A.whom B.who C.of which D.whose( )9.A.take up B.take in C.take pride in D.take on( )10.A.be adopted B.adopt C.allow D.be allowed(C)How many times have you complained, “There aren’t enough hours in the day!”?Holly Gabrielle White, a vlogger who graduated from University of Cambridge, probably (1) . After she began school in August 2016, White started a channel on the video-sharing website YouTube. It records her daily life on campus. Now she has more than 270,000 subscribers to her channel.In her videos, the 22-year-old gets up at 6:30 am and goes to bed at 10:30 pm every day. In (2) , she balances studying, cooking, house cleaning and exercising. Sometimes she finds time to meet up with friends and speak to her family online.A similar case (3) college students in China. Months ago, the official Tsinghua University microblog account showed pictures of students’ plans, study notes and daily schedules. In one of them, an undergraduate tightly arranges his daily life. He usually goes to bed at 1:00 am and gets up at 6:00 am. Although he only takes 10 classes a week, the rest of his day will be fully booked. He starts his day bypre-reading his textbooks at 6:40 am, and (4) a summary of his studies. When he feels like it is hard to stick to his schedule, he writes encouragements to himself, like, “You’re the best”, and “Go for it”.Both students’ hard work(5) certainly paid off. White was at the top of her 152 other classmates; and the Chinese undergraduate won (6) scholarship four years in a row. The two have something in common. They have regular schedules and get up early to study. They squeeze as (7) into the schedule as they can. More (8) , they learn a way of managing time well and efficiently.Some may wonder how they can (9) exhaustion, stress and burnout. White’s video Time Management & Organization Tips All Students Should Know may provide an answer. She advises to write our tasks in a set order on a to-do list. We should also know how to avoid and release stress because, “Mental health is as important as our physic al health.” To White, dancing is something she takes as a reward after completing everything on the list. Then enough sleep to rest her body and get ready to do a good job the next day.Indeed, things must be carefully planned before we act, then “(10) can be reached with half the effort”, as the old Chinese saying goes.( )1.A.agrees B.disagrees C.agreed D.disagreed( )2.A.between B.among C.all D.both( )3.A. was happened to B.took place inC.happened toD.was taken place in( )4.

The problem he has is how to (1) an artist once he grows up.”This is both encouraging and discouraging: The fact that we were all born to be artists is certainly exciting, and yet the reality has proven that remaining one is a task that many of us have failed. (2) , some people have seen the problem and want to solve it.Western educators have suggested that we (3) the thought of “STEAM” instead of “STEM” –traditional “core majors” including science, technology, engineering, and math –since the “A”,(4) stands for “arts”, is just as important. And on April 11, China’s Ministry of Education issued a guideline.

If your friends travel to many other countries, you would find it easy to collect coins of different countries. You may also choose a foreign country that interest you, like France or India, and collect coins of that country. You’d better collect your own nation’s coins if you want to know more about collections!Some coin collectors collect faulty coins such as coins with over dates, off-center coins and so on. But there are few faulty coins. This makes them even more interesting. You can also collect by material, gold or silver.You can pick up interesting coins during the international travel, and you can also get them at local shops, markets and coin shows.It’s great to collect coins, but where are you going to store them?

People who want to act in plays come from all over the world hoping to get a job as an actor. They want to become rich and famous on Broadway.But one group of actors in a new Broadway play is happy to perform for just a snack. These actors are dogs. They perform in a musical show called Chitty Bang Bang. The dogs do a great job in the play, thanks to their trainer William Berioni.Berioni did not plan to become an animal trainer. In college he studied acting and learned how to put on plays. But Berioni was also interested in animals. He often brought homeless animals to his house.Berioni combined his love for plays with his love for animals. He began training a dog to be in a Broadway play. He found just the right dog for the play at an animal shelter. This is a place that takes care of homeless animals. The dog became famous as Sandy in the play Annie. The dog performed onstage for seven years. This is the longest any animal has been in a Broadway play.Berioni hopes the dogs will be in the play for a long time. When the play finally ends, the dogs will stay on a farm with Berioni and his family. The dogs will have plenty to keep them busy. Berioni already has many other animals he takes care of on his farm.Aaron Conley, an 11-year-old boy, is a child actor. He has performed many kinds of roles. He has taken many years of acting, dancing, and singing lessons.

Many child actors were studying in private schools that allow them to have flexible time tables. These schools were expensive, so Aaron’s mother let him study in a public school. But the time table there was very difficult to follow since Aaron sometimes needed to leave in the middle of the school day for play practices. Finally his mother decided to teach Aaron at home.Children actors and their families make many sacrifices. One of the biggest sacrifices that Aaron’s family has made was moving from Mississippi to New York City. Aaron needed to live close to his acting jobs. This meant leaving behind family and friends. Also, because of his busy acting time table, Aaron isn’t always able to take part in activities, which makes it difficult to make friends in a new place.Night after night, show after show, Aaron Conley understands the difficulty of his job, but heloves what he does.( )1.

She walked as if each step was painful.After walking around the store for a moment, she stopped in front of the rows of canned vegetables. She picked up one, and looked at the label strangely. I went over to her and asked her if she needed any help.“Are you looking for corn, madam?”“I’m hungry. I need some food,” she answered. “Any kind.”“Well, the corn is ninety-five cents,” I said in my most helpful voice.“I can’t pay,” she said.For a second, I want to say, “Take the corn.” But the employee rules flooded into my mind. I couldn’t do that. “I’m sorry; madam, but I can’t give you anything for free.”The old woman’s face turned red. She put the corn back, and went out sadly.Moments after she left, I rushed out the door with the corn, but I couldn’t see her. For the rest of that day, the image of the poor woman troubled me.

So they have to be strong enough to carry their own weight. And climbers sometimes have to hold on to rocks by only their fingers or toes.There are four kinds of rock climbing. Traditional rock climbing is done outside. Climbers wear ropes as they climb. If a climber slips, a rope can stop him from falling.There is also indoor climbing. Rock walls have places for the climber's hands and feet. Ice climbing is exactly as it sounds. People climb glaciers or frozen waterfalls instead of rocks. They use special equipment for the ice. And then there is bouldering—climbing rocks between three and seven meters high. It is a quick climbing. Many climbers like bouldering because they can use less equipment. Climbers often need only special shoes and chalk. All climbers use chalk to keep their hands dry.Most rocks have holes. Climbers use these for footholds and handholds.

The head teacher Brian Walker at the West Park School in Derby runs two-hour detention sessions after school on Fridays. He forces his students to listen to Mozart and other classical music. He also makes them copy his favorite poems and they have to watch educational videos. Mr. Walker says his main aim is to stop noisy pupils having a bad effect on lessons for other students who want to study.Brian Walker believes the detention reminds students that education is something to value. He thinks students actually learn from being kept behind after school: "Hopefully, I open their ears to an experience they don't normally have and…don't want to have again, so it's both educational and acts as a deterrent." Music has had success elsewhere in reducing bad behaviour. In 2004, it reduced crime on London’s subway by 25 per cent. Researchers from a Belfast university found it helped stop misbehaving. However, one West Park student called Kieran said: “An hour of Mr. Walker's music is a real killer.”1. Mozart was a bad student at school and was punished a lot. T / F2. A teacher forced students to write poetry and listen to classical music. T / F3. Music on London’s subway system cut crime by a quarter in 2004.

This was my first time to go abroad, so it really made me excited.There were quite a lot of interesting places in England such as Oxford. When we walked around this city, we saw quite a lot of ancient buildings on the two sides of the streets. One of the most famous tourist sights in Oxford is Christ Church. It is one of Oxford University’s 39 colleges.Another place I visited was a place called Stratford-upon-Avon. It was a small town. Maybe you haven’t heard about it, but I’m sure you have heard about William Shakespeare. William Shakespere was born there and he spent his early years there. It was a very old and traditional house. Its sitting room, hallway（走廊）, bedrooms, and kitchen were in 16th-century style. I also went to see the Shakespeare Exhibition. It told us Shakespeare’s life in both Stratford and London in picture s. It included a first edition of Shakespeare’s collected plays and a model of London’s Globe Theatre.I really enjoyed this nice trip to England. From this trip I learnt a lot.

It's hard to believe but it was one of the largest temples built in the ancient times.People built the temple in 550 B.C. It stood in the Greek city of Aphasias, on the west coast which we all know as Turkey. The whole temple was all marble except for its wooden roof. It was built as a dedication to the Greek Goddess Artemis.Chersiphron and his son Metagenes was the architects. This temple didn't last long. In 550 B.C. King Cruesus of Lydia beat Ephesus and other Greek cites of Asia Minor. During the fight, people destroyed the temple. Another temple was built in place of the first one.Then a man named Croesus Ephesian wanted to have his name in history. He managed to do this by burning the temple to ashes.The temple also held many works of art. It was 425 feet long and 225 feet wide. It has 127 60-feet-high columns.Today the site of this temple is a marshy field. A single column is still there to tell visitors that there once stood a Wonder of the Ancient World.( )1.

The largest is called the Great Pyramid. It was built by apharaoh Khufu as his tomb. The ancient Egyptians believed that they would have another life after death. To prepare for this life after death, their bodies had to be specially treated. Their organs were taken away and their bodies were dried. These treated bodies are known as mummies.The Great Pyramid took about twenty years to build. It was completed around 2,480 BC. When it was finished, the pyramid was 145.75 metres high. Now, it is about ten metres shorter.As its bottom, the pyramid has four sides. They are 229 metres long each. The structure is made of large blocks of stone—2,300,000 of them! Each of these blocks weighs over 2,000 kilograms. During construction, the workers did not have any special tools to do the work. However, when the work was finished, the stones fitted so tightly together that you could put a playing card between them.People used to think that the Egyptains used slaves to do all the work on the Great Pyramid.

There are three main types of educational institutions: primary school, secondary school and universities.State schools are free, and attendance is compulsory. More school begains at nine o’clock and lasts until five past four. School opens five days a week.On Saturday and Sundays, there are no lessons. There are holidays at Christmas. Easter and in summer. In London as in all cities there are two grades of states schools for those who will go to work at fifteen: primary schools for boys and girls between the ages of five and eleven, and secondary schools for children from eleven to fifteen.The lessons are reading, writing, the English language, English literature, English history, geography, science, nature study, drawing, painting, singing, woodwork and physical training..Many people now think that teachers give students too much homework. They say that it is unnecessary for children to work at home in their free time. Moreover, they argue that most teachers do not properly plan the homework tasks they give to students. The result is that students have to repeat asks which they have already done at school.Most people agree that homework is unfair. A student who can do his homework in a quiet and comfortable room is in a much better position than a student who does his homework in a small, noisy room with the television on. Some parents help their children with their homework.A teacher should suggest suitable tasks for parents to do with their children. Parents are often better at teaching their own children.Officials from Museums of 16 countries held a meeting in Cairo in April, 2010. They tried to get back their treasures in history.

Hawass has had a lot of success in getting back their treasures.. In the past ten years, he has successfully got back over 30,000 treasures from other country.Greece wanted the return of the Elgin Marbles. Elgin Marbles was also known the Parthenon Marbles.

But she was moving from a house with a little garden so her son would have space to play. The distance was probably too short to call a removal company（搬家公司）, but it was long enough to make carrying all the stuff a real pain.But we didn't have to. A neighbor offered the use of her truck. She drove it up to my daughter's front door, and then went home while we loaded it up. Then she came out, drove it to the new house and walked back home for a cup of tea while we unloaded. Then she did it again and again.We decided to thank her, but she didn’t want anything from us. My daughter got her some flowers later as a “thank you”.Before I left, I stopped by the woman's house, just to thank her for being such a help to my daughter, as she really didn’t have to help. It's not like they were such close friends or anything “It’s what neighbors should do,” she said.“It’s what neighbors used to do,” I said.“Well, let’s bring it back then,” she smiled.

Perhaps your child loves art, and you want to encourage that interest, but you just don’t know where to begin. Maybe you’re ready to start drawing, too. Then this website is for you.At Art Made Easy, I’ll take through what you need to know to help your children create their own works of art.I’ll also tell you what you need to buy to get them started, and provide you with prices soyou’ll know what to expect before you go to the store. You’ll find free lessons to try with them, and along the way, I’ll explain all kinds of art terms to you.How old should a child be before starting art? As a Mom and an art teacher, I’ve found that any age is a great age to begin creating. My son was drawing little circle when he was just one old, and my grandma didn’t begin her painting career until she was in her seventies! The complexity of the art work will change according to the age of the artist, of course, but a face composed of a circle and two big eyes by a child can be as much of an achievement as a fine oil painting by an adult.Drawing may not come naturally, but it’s a skill that can be learned. The tips and lessons on this site are meant to be studied and tried together with your child! Remember, as with anything new that you learn to do, you improve with practice.

Like the planets, they go around the sun.But comets are not made of solid rock like planets. A comet is a ball of dust, stones, and ice. Many people call comets dirty snowballs.The “snowball” may be only a few miles across. But when the sun heats the “snowball,” much of it is changed to gases. The gases expand and form the comet’s head, which may be thousands of miles across.A comet moves fast in its trip around the sun. But when we see it, the comet does not seem to move. That’s because it is so far away. The moon moves fast, but when you look at it, you can’t see any motion. That’s because the moon is far away.So comets do not streak across the sky. You cannot see any motion. But if you look night after night, you can see that a comet changes position among the stars. If you watch the moon night after night, you’ll see that it also changes position.Each year astronomers discover new comets. Some of them are seen only once. They make one trip around the sun and then go way out into space. The sun’s gravity cannot hold them.Other comets, like Halley, keep returning. They have been captured by the sun. Halley’s earliest visit was probably 3,000 years ago. It may keep returning for another 3,000 years.But every time a comet goes around the sun, the comet loses part of itself. Gases and dust are pulled out of the comet. That’s why Halley is now dimmer than it used to be. Next time it visits us, in 2062, it may be even dimmer. Each visit it may get dimmer and dimmer, until it finally disappears.( )1. What is this passage mostly about?A. Comets and the sun.B. Why comets are like snowballs.C. Who discovered the first comet.D. Facts about comets.( )2. According to the passage, what does a comet travel around?A. The sun.B. The moon.C. Other comets.D. other planets( )3. Why do comets look as if they are motionless when we see them?A. They are very small.B. They are very far away.C. They move very slowly.D. They move only at night.( )4. How does the author help the reader understand what a comet looks like?A. By telling about a famous one.B. By explaining how far away it is.C. By describing how fast it moves.D. By describing it as a dirty snowball.( )5. What is the most likely reason the author wrote this passage?A. To give information about comets.B. To tell readers about famous comets.C. To explain the importance of comets.D. To convince readers to look for comets.Long ago all of people thought the moon was a god. Other people thought it was just a light in the s1 . And others thought it was a big ball of cheese! Then telescope was made. And men s 2 that the moon was really another world. They wondered what it was like. They dreamed of going there.On July 20th, 1969, that dream came t 3 . Two American men landed on the moon. T 4 names were Neil Armstrong and Edwin Aldrin. The first thing the men found was that the moon is covered with dust. The dust is so thick t 5 the men left footprints where they walked. Those were the fist mark a living thing had ever made on the moon.The two men walked on the moon f 6 hours. They picked rocks to bring back to e 7 for study. They dug up dirt to bring back. They set up machines to find out things people wanted to know. Then they climb b 8 into their moon landing craft. Next day the landing craft roared as the two men took off from the moon. They joined Michael Collins in the spaceship that w 9 for them above the moon. Then they were off on their long trip back to earth. B 10 them they left the plains and tall mountains of the moon. They left the machines they had set up. And they left footprints that may last forever.1. sky2. saw3. true4. their5. that6. for7. earth8. back9. waited 10.BehindRead Allen's diary and answer the questions( )1. What does “PTA Day” mean?A.

But she was moving from a house with a little garden so her son would have space to play. The distance was probably too short to call a removal company（搬家公司）, but it was long enough to make carrying all the stuff a real pain.But we didn't have to. A neighbor offered the use of her truck. She drove it up to my daughter's front door, and then went home while we loaded it up. Then she came out, drove it to the new house and walked back home for a cup of tea while we unloaded. Then she did it again and again.We decided to thank her, but she didn’t want anything from us. My daughter got her some flowers later as a “thank you”.Before I left, I stopped by the woman's house, just to thank her for being such a help to my daughter, as she really didn’t have to help. It's not like they were such close friends or anything “It’s what neighbors should do,” she said.“It’s what neighbors used to do,” I said.“Well, let’s bring it back then,” she smiled. I thought she was right. Neighbors often helped each other in the past, but now we don’t do that so often as we did before.“Let’s bring it back,” I said sincerely in my heart.It’s good to have neighbors like her.( )1.

Perhaps your child loves art, and you want to encourage that interest, but you just don’t know where to begin. Maybe you’re ready to start drawing, too. Then this website is for you.At Art Made Easy, I’ll take through what you need to know to help your children create theirown works of art.I’ll also tell you what you need to buy to get them started, and provide you with prices so you’ll know what to expect before you go to the store. You’ll find free lessons to try with them, and along the way, I’ll explain all kinds of art terms to you.How old should a child be before starting art? As a Mom and an art teacher, I’ve found that any age is a great age to begin creating. My son was drawing little circle when he was just one old, and my grandma didn’t begin her painting career until she was in her seventies! The complexity of the art work will change according to the age of the artist, of course, but a face composed of a circle and two big eyes by a child can be as much of an achievement as a fine oil painting by an adult.Drawing may not come naturally, but it’s a skill that can be learned. The tips and lessons on this site are meant to be studied and tried together with your child! Remember, as with anything new that you learn to do, you improve with practice.

Like the planets, they go around the sun.But comets are not made of solid rock like planets. A comet is a ball of dust, stones, and ice. Many people call comets dirty snowballs.The “snowball” may be only a few miles across. But when the sun heats the “snowball,” much of it is changed to gases. The gases expand and form the comet’s head, which may be thousands of miles across.A comet moves fast in its trip around the sun. But when we see it, the comet does not seem to move. That’s because it is so far away. The moon moves fast, but when you look at it, you can’t see any motion. That’s because the moon is far away.So comets do not streak across the sky. You cannot see any motion. But if you look night after night, you can see that a comet changes position among the stars. If you watch the moon night after n ight, you’ll see that it also changes position.Each year astronomers discover new comets. Some of them are seen only once. They make one trip around the sun and then go way out into space. The sun’s gravity cannot hold them.Other comets, like Halley, keep returning. They have been captured by the sun. Halley’s earliest visit was probably 3,000 years ago. It may keep returning for another 3,000 years.But every time a comet goes around the sun, the comet loses part of itself. Gases and dust are pulled out of the comet. That’s why Halley is now dimmer than it used to be. Next time it visits us, in 2062, it may be even dimmer. Each visit it may get dimmer and dimmer, until it finally disappears.( )1. What is this passage mostly about?A. Comets and the sun.B. Why comets are like snowballs.C. Who discovered the first comet.D. Facts about comets.( )2. According to the passage, what does a comet travel around?A. The sun.B. The moon.C. Other comets.D. other planets( )3. Why do comets look as if they are motionless when we see them?A. They are very small.B. They are very far away.C. They move very slowly.D. They move only at night.( )4. How does the author help the reader understand what a comet looks like?A. By telling about a famous one.B. By explaining how far away it is.C. By describing how fast it moves.D. By describing it as a dirty snowball.( )5. What is the most likely reason the author wrote this passage?A. To give information about comets.B. To tell readers about famous comets.C. To explain the importance of comets.D. To convince readers to look for comets.Long ago all of people thought the moon was a god. Other people thought it was just a light in the s1 .

I quickly rushed back to the bonus room.We began to change outfits as if we were on a fashion runway. We pretended to take pictures of each other for the newspaper.At one point, my sister stopped suddenly and asked, "Ashley, where's Mom's pin?""What?" I replied.I looked down and saw that the pin was gone. It must have fallen while I was changing."Oh no. I'm in deep trouble now!" I cried.Just then, Mom came in and greeted us, "Hi, girls. I want to take a little break. What are you doing?""Uh, nothing much. Just, playing.""Well, those are pretty outfits. Can I play too? I know just the thing."Before we could say anything, Mom was in her room putting on a lovely gown. Within minutes she came back and paraded (行进) around. She brushed up against me with her swirling skirts, and I nearly forgot about the pin. That was until she looked down and said, "Hmmm, I bet this would complete my outfit." She reached down and picked up the brooch. She looked at us with a curious expression."So, where did you get this?" Mom asked."I don't know where it came from," but I decided I'd better admit that I had taken the pin. "I took it out of your jewelry box. I just wanted to play with it." I held my breath waiting for her response."Well, dear, I understand that. Please put it away. Next time you want to borrow something from me, please come ask."

Then I was abandoned by many of the people who I thought were my friends.In the end, I found a job at a children’s library I loved.

First, there would be the Done family, you know, Should Have, Would Have and Could Have. Then would come the I Had family. The biggest family would be the Yesterday family. There were far too many family members to count, but each one would have a very sad story to share.As usual, I became very sad after hearing their stories.

The Village Council plans to turn off around one in three lights in the village. Villagers are being invited to a look at a map which shows the lights for being turned off, and give their views if there are any particular ones which they would like to be saved.The leader of the Village Council, Fred Sheppard, said it would be a good idea to save energy and reduce light pollution. He said, “Like other villages, there are a lot of street lights around our village, but a large number of lights are perhaps unnecessary. By turning off these lights, we could save energy, which is important. There is also too much light pollution in the night sky. I think most people are receptive to the idea. One or two are perhaps not too happy about a particular light being turned off.”At the moment there are about 100 street lights in the village and 34 of those will be turned off. The effect of saving energy and protecting the environment has been seen by people. Other villages in the area will also be encouraged to do as what the village has done.( )1.

I remember watching trains pass by and wishing I was on one of them. I remember going to the airport with my parents when I was 13 and reading the board, seeing all the places that I could go to: Los Angeles, Chicago, London…But the trains passed by and the planes took off without me, so I traveled the world through books. I went to Victorian England in the pages of Middle March and Little Princess, and to St. Petersburg before the fall of the Tsar with Anna Karenina.My home was in a pleasant place outside Philadelphia. But I really lived, truly lived, somewhere else. I lived in books. In books I traveled, not only to other worlds, but into my own. I learned who I was and who I wanted to be and what I might achieve.I travel today in the way I once dream of travelling as a child—on airplanes and in trains. I am the sort of person who prefers to stay at home, surrounded by family, friends, and books. The only thing I do like about travelling is the time on airplanes reading. Books are the plane, and the train, and the road. They are the best destination and the journey too. They are home.Read more: /family-portraits-dos-and-donts#ixzz1UW6BxnC5Pyramids, a large desert, and an important river are three of the great attractions in Egypt.

2020年人教版新目标英语中考阅读理解、完形填空试题及答案4A submarine is a fascinating form of underwater transportation. This huge piece of metal moves quietly through the water. Most of the submarines in the water today are commanded by the military. However, one small submarine is owned by an English inventor named Robert Leeds. His submarine is considered the world’s first used just for entertainment.Leed’s submarine can carry two people. It is able to dive down to 150 feet and stay underwater for up to four days. This unique submarine named Gemini can remain still in the water or move up and down like a helicopter. Because of its small size, Leed’s compares his invention to an underwater sports car.“T he oceans are the last place on Earth where there are no personal vehicles,” says Leeds. Ever since I was 14, I have wanted to build one.”Leeds revealed his invention at London’s Science Museum in the fall of 2003. Gemini was displayed in one of the museum’s galleries. This location is often used for showing futuristic inventions.The cost of building Gemini was $850,000. Therefore, it is not likely to be produced in large numbers. But some people believe that it could be used for more than just underwater entertainment. A small personal submarine may be helpful in filming science shows, searching underwater areas, or inspecting pipelines. Leed’s company is offering to build submarines for individual buyers..No matter how the submarines are used, Leeds may be on the way to making history. “The oceans are still the great unknown in our doorsteps”, Insists the inventor. “Twelve men have walked on the moon, but only two have been to the bottom of the sea! Perhaps the invention of Gemini will change this statistic.”( )1. What does the underlined word “military” in the first paragraph mean?A. 空间B. 陆军C. 海军D. 炮兵( )2.

For a pound of honey, the honeybee flies the distance equal to three times around the world and makes visits to about two million flowers.There are over 250 types of honey in the United States alone. Generally, the lighter the color of the honey, the higher the quality. Very high grade honeys come from, orange blossoms and alfalfa.Bears love honey as much as humans do. The diet of some birds, such as the hummingbird of the Americas, is almost entirely honey. There is no honey in Alaska and some parts of Siberia because it is too cold for the honeybee to live there.( )1.

Others compete. Rock climbing can be dangerous. But there are many ways to keep a climber’s safety. Climbing takes strength, control and good balance. Climbers have to pull themselves straight up. So they have to be strong enough to carry their own weight. And climbers sometimes have to hold on to rocks by only their fingers or toes.There are four kinds of rock climbing. Traditional rock climbing is done outside. Climbers wear ropes as they climb. If a climber slips, a rope can stop him from falling. There is also indoor climbing. Rock walls have places for the climber's hands and feet. Ice climbing is exactly as it sounds. People climb glaciers or frozen waterfalls instead of rocks. They use special equipment for the ice. And then there is bouldering—climbing rocks between three and seven meters high. It is a quick climbing. Many climbers like bouldering because they can use less equipment. Climbers often need only special shoes and chalk. All climbers use chalk to keep their hands dry.Most rocks have holes. Climbers use these for footholds and handholds. Climbers use their legs to climb. Arms and hands are for position and balance. Climbers often need to lock their bodies to the rock with one small finger hold.( )1.

Most of the submarines in the water today are commanded by the military. However, one small submarine is owned by an English inventor named Robert Leeds. His submarine is considered the world’s first used just for entertainment.Leed’s submarine can carry two people. It is able to dive down to 150 feet and stay underwater for up to four days. This unique submarine named Gemini can remain still in the water or move up and down like a helicopter. Because of its small size, Leed’s compares his invention to an underwater sports car.“T he oceans are the last place on Earth where there are no personal vehicles,” says Leeds. Ever since I was 14, I have wanted to build one.”Leeds revealed his invention at London’s Science Museum in the fall of 2003. Gemini was displayed in one of the museum’s galleries. This location is often used for showing futuristic inventions.The cost of building Gemini was $850,000. Therefore, it is not likely to be produced in large numbers. But some people believe that it could be used for more than just underwater entertainment. A small personal submarine may be helpful in filming science shows, searching underwater areas, or inspecting pipelines. Leed’s company is offering to build submarines for individual buyers..No matter how the submarines are used, Leeds may be on the way to making history. “The oceans are still the great unknown in our doorsteps”, Insists the inventor. “Twelve men have walked on the moon, but only two have been to the bottom of the sea!

Sugar didn't reach Europe until the twelfth century, so until then, honey was the only sweetener in the Western world. Honey is the most natural foods, and it does not become bad with age. Honey found in ancient Egyptian tombs is thousands of years old, but still tastes good.The source of honey is the species of insect called the honeybee. The honeybee is always busy. It visits 145 flowers in order to collect the amount of just one teaspoon of honey. For a pound of honey, the honeybee flies the distance equal to three times around the world and makes visits to about two million flowers.There are over 250 types of honey in the United States alone. Generally, the lighter the color of the honey, the higher the quality. Very high grade honeys come from, orange blossoms and alfalfa.Bears love honey as much as humans do. The diet of some birds, such as the hummingbird of the Americas, is almost entirely honey. There is no honey in Alaska and some parts of Siberia because it is too cold for the honeybee to live there.( )1.

More of the fourtofiveyear olds thought the child in the story would feel better keeping the stolen candy，lying and getting unpunished.They imagined the parent in the study would be angry with the child who confessed.However，theseventonineyearolds were more likely (可能的) to think the child would feel better confessing the crime and that the parent would have positive (积极的) feelings towards a confessor.Smith says, “Kids of all ages who expect that a parent would feel happy about a child's confession are more likely to tell the truth rather than lie.Reward the honesty even if you feel you must punish the wrong action.”He adds，what parents can learn from these studies is to listen calmly without getting angry right away when their child confesses.
