An Imperfect PaintingMy parents always wanted me to be “on top”,so from early on I had the 31to be the best in everything,from getting the highest score in a spelling test to running fastest in a race.In middle school，I realized how many other smarter and faster people there were, It became 32that I was not the best any more, but my parents still held on to theirhope and forced me to try ha rd.To their disappointment, I became less confident and didn‟t want to work harder because,to me, there was no point in making any more33if I was unable to be number one. My grades began to fall; I never practiced the piano; I 34painting.It was all because motivation(动力）to do anything had dropped much.When high school started, I was at a newschool in a newcity. I35to get back my motivation and start over.So I picked up my ever favorite hobby again and enrolled(报名)myself in the art course,36,our art teacher, Mr.Grady, gave us more freedom with our art projects. He would always encourage us to realize our potential(潜力).My first painting was simply a bee sitting on a sunflower, I tried my best, but still found it hard to feel satisfied with it. I knew it was not 37and could hardly get a good grade. But I showed it to Mr.Grady. He didn‟t 38it in a rush. Instead, he gave me advice which only motivated me to work harder on it. For the first time I was happy with the 39of my painting rather than disappointed about its imperfection. I finished all the other projects with higher grades, but I hung the first painting in my room at the end of the term.My parents thought 40me to be number one would motivate me. Instead, it discouraged me much when I was not number one, for I had gone to school only to get a grade, not knowledge, let alone progress. Actually, it is okay not to be the best ateverything as long as you continue to try your best.31 A. ability B. chance C.goal D. way32 A. strange B. obvious C. acceptable D. impossible33 A. efforts B. choices C. promises D. wishes34 A. regretted B. considered C. continued D. stopped35 A. failed B. refused C. decided D. waited36 A.

2015年北京市英语中考模拟试题专项阅读理解C篇汇编含答案

2015年北京市英语中考模拟试题专项阅读理解C篇汇编一、北京市朝阳区2015中考一模CWhere did that number come from?Eleven and TwelveThe reason behind the change in number naming is that eleven comes from the German term ainlif, which translates to “one left”. Twelve follows the same rule. It comes from twalif—“two left”. Why teen is used instead of lif for 13 through 19? There is something sadly lost in history.911 for US Emergency (急救) CallsEarly phones didn’t use phone numb ers—the operator had to connect your call by hand—and this led to the need for an emergency code (信号). But later phone numbers became popular, that changed. In 1967, 911 was chosen as the nationwide emergency call because it was easy to remember and could be quickly dialed (拨) on the phone.26.2 Miles in a Marathon (马拉松)The story began with an ancient Greek soldier ca rrying message from a battlefield (战场) in Marathon to Athens. The modern marathon was born as a flagship event in the first Olympic Games, in 1896, with a distance (距离) of about 25 miles (40 km), as long as the distance from Marathon to Athens. But race organizers for the 1908 Olympic Games in London wanted to add something special. The race began at Windsor Castle and ended at White City Stadium, with runners finishing only after passing the royal (皇室的) box. The distance was 26.2 miles (42.1 km). And since 1924 this distance has been kept in marathon.28 Days in FebruaryBefore using the Gregorian calendar that we use today, one of the first Roman calendars had only 304 days and ten months (March through December), with six months of 30 days and four of 31 days. The second king of Rome improved the old calendar. He added 50 days for January and February. To make the new months longer, he took one day from each of the 30-day months, making 56 days to divide between January and February (or 28 days each). Later January was given one more day to add up to 355 days a year, but February still had 28 days. That’s how it became the shortest month and it stayed that way ever since.48. Which language do eleven and twelve come from?A. English.B. German.C. French.D. Russian.49. When was the number 911 chosen for US emergency calls?A. In 1896.B. In 1908.C. In 1924.D. In 1967.50. The marathon distance was made longer at London Olympic Games because ______.A. the British was a little weak in mathsB. the British didn’t like the Greek storyC. the British loved the royal family very muchD. the British wanted to make the race different51. How many days were there in each month after the king improved the old calendar?A. 28, 29 or 31.B. 28, 30 or 31.C. 28, 29 or 30.D. 29, 30 or 31.二、北京市顺义区2015年中考一模英语CComets(彗星) are parts of our solar system（太阳系）.Like the planets, they go around the sun.But comets are not made of solid rock like planets. Acomet is a ball of dust, stones, and ice. Many people callcomets dirty snowballs.The “snowball” may be only a few miles across. Butwhen the sun heats the “snowball,” much of i t is changed togases. The gases spread out and form the comet’s head,which may be thousands of miles across.* * *A comet moves fast in its trip around the sun. But whenwe see it, the comet does not seem to move. That’s becauseit 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 rush 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 onlyonce. They make one trip around the sun and then go way out into space. The sun’s gravity（重力、引力）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.54. 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.55. According to the passage, some comets have been “captured by the sun.” What does the underlined phrase mean?A. The comets are rushing into the sun.B. The comets have been brightened by the sun.C. The comets are stuck in the sun’s gravity.D. The comets have been burned by the sun’s heat.56. 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.57. 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 encourage readers to look for comets.三、北京市燕山2015年中考一模CIt was a cold winter day. A woman drove up to the Rainbow Bridge tollbooth. “I’m paying for myself, and for the six cars behind me,” she said with asmile, handing over seven tickets. One after another, the next si x drivers arriving at the tollbooth were informed, “Some lady up ahead already paid your fare.”It turned out that the woman, Natalie Smith, had read something on a friend’s refrigerator: “Practice random (随意的) kindness and senseless acts of beauty.” The phrase impressed (使某人印象深刻) her so much that she copied it down.Judy Foreman saw the same phrase on a warehouse wall far away from home. When it stayed on her mind for days, she gave up and drove all the way back to copy it down. “I thought it was beautiful,” she said, explaining why she’d ta ken to writing it at the bottom of all her letters, “like a message from above.” Her husband, Frank, liked the phrase so much that he put it up on the classroom wall for his students, one of whom was the daughter of Alice Johnson, a local news reporter. Alice put it in the newspaper, saying that though she liked it, she didn’t know where it came from or what it really meant.Two days later, Alice got a call from Anne Herbert, a woman living in Marin. It was in a restaurant that Anne wrote the phrase down on a piece of paper, after turning it around in her mind for days.“Here’s the idea,” Anne says. “Anything you think there should be more of, do it randomly.” Her fantasies include painting the classrooms of shabby schools, leaving hot meals on kitchen tables in the poor part of town, and giving money secretly to a proud old lady. Anne says, “Kindness can build on itself as much as violence (暴力) can build on itself.”The acts of random kindness spread. If you were one of those drivers who found your fare paid, who knows what you might have been encouraged to do for someone else later. Like all great events, kindness begins slowly, with every single act. Let it be yours!48. Why did Natalie Smith pay for the six cars behind her?A. She had seven tickets.B. She hoped to please others.C. She wanted to show kindness.D. She knew the car drivers well.49. Judy Foreman copied down the phrase because she ___ .A. thought it was beautifully writtenB. wanted to know what it really meantC. decided to write it on a warehouse wallD. wanted her husband to put it up in the classroom50. Who came up with the phrase according to the passage?A. Judy Foreman.B. Natalie Smith.C. Alice Johnson.D. Anne Herbert.51. What can we infer from the last paragraph?A. People should practice random kindness to those in need.B. People who receive kindness are likely to offer it to others.C. People should practice random kindness to strangers they meet.D. People who receive kindness are likely to pay it back to the giver.四、东城区2015中考一模试题CAlexis Martin is a three-year-old girl from Arizona. She hasn’t started kindergarten(幼儿园)yet, but she has an IQ above 160, which is well above the average (一般的)people’s IQ. So, th ere is no wonder that sh e has become the youngest member of Mensa, the largest and oldest high IQ society in the world. Mensa is an international club whose members must have an IQ score in the top 2% of the world. Currently, Mensa has 3,300 members under the age of18 in the U.S. Alexis is one of them.The average people generally have an IQ score of 100 points, but Alexis scored 160 points, the highest score on the test. The doctors who tested Alexis said she scored so high that they couldn’t even work out her IQ exactly. They think she is even smarter than 99.9% ofthe world population. Actually, she matched the IQs of talents like Albert Einstein, Stephen Hawking and Bill Gates.Ian Martin, Alexis’ father, said his daughter showed signs of some special abilities at the age of one and she began reading books for pupils when she was ju st two years old. Now at the age of three, Alexis is reading on a fifth gradelevel.“From 12 months old, we’d be driving around in the car and sh e would repeat her bedtimestories from the night bef ore,”he said. “She didn’t just repeat them. She could remember every word of them exactly.”Ian Martin thinks his daughter also stands out when it comes to learning new languages. “Anytime she learns a word and just picks it up through anything. She never ever uses it i n the incorrect situation, ever.”Ian said.While Alexis’s parents are proud that their three-year-old daughter has become a member in Mensa, they are also aware of the price that comes with every gift. The doctors say Alexis should never attend a normal school and children with her level of intelligence(智力) often experience high anxiety(焦虑) unless they’re around similarly gifted boys and girls. Her parents decide to follow the advice and try to look for proper ways to help her get involved into society.48. Mensa only accepts ____________.A. teenagers under 18 in the U.S.B. people with IQs above 160 in the U.S.C. talents in the world like Albert EinsteinD. people withIQs in the top 2% of the world49. From the passage, we know that Alex is’ IQ is____________.A. getting higher through trainingB. beyond the limit of the IQ testC. above the IQ of Stephen HawkingD. growing too fast to get an exact score50. One of Alexis’ special abilities is that____________.A. she could read stories at the age of oneB. she could write books for pupils at the age of twoC. she canremember every word of what her parents saidD. she can learn new words quickly and use them properly51. What can we learn from the last paragraph?A. Alexis is sure to experience anxiety in the future.B. Alexis’parents can’t afford the gift that she chooses.C. Alexis’parents won’t be able to find her a normal school.D. Alexis may feel it hard to get along with the average people.五、海淀区2015中考英语一模CNeed to buy something? Why go to a store? Buy it on the Internet! Need it now? Why wait? Ask for next-day delivery! Each day, more and more people try online shopping. In fact, online sales have doubled in the last ten years. But not everyone is excited. Some scientists now say that online shopping is bad for the environment.People are surprised to hear this. “They think, ‘I don’t need to drive, and the business doesn’t need to build a store, so there will be less pollution,’” says NuriaProst, an environmental scientist. “But it is not so simple. In fact, online shopping is wasteful. It also adds to air pollution.”In truth, the Internet is not always as good a friend to the environment as it seems. For example, most people thought that the Internet would help offices use less paper and other materials. But paper use increased by 33 percent between 1986 and 1997. “Online shopping could have similarly negative effects,” says Nevil Cohen, a professor of environmental science.Part of the problem is what people are buying these days. In the past, people bought things on the Internet that did not require much packing material, such as books and clothing. But now people also shop online for large, heavy products such as televisions, computers, and furniture. These products need to be packed in large amounts of plastic and paper. This creates a lot of waste.Another problem caused by online shopping is air pollution. When customers buy products and ask for next-day delivery, companies often have to send them by air. Airplanes use much more fuel than cars and produce more carbon dioxide (CO2). When people buy a lot of different things from different online businesses, this creates even more travel by airplane.Online product returns are al so a problem. For example, an online shoe store may allow customers to return shoes without extra pay if they are the wrong size. This doubles the packing material and number of airplane trips required to sell one pair of shoes.“If people want to protect the environment,they need to think before they shop,” says Prost. “People need to ask themselves: Is this exactly what I want? Do I really need it tomorrow, or can I wait?” Online stores can also charge（收费）customers for returns. This may make people shop more carefully. “Online shopping is fast and easy,” says Prost, “but we can’t forget the negative effects it has on the environment.”48. Why does online shopping create a lot of waste?A. Because companies charge more for product returns.B. Because people buy too many things they don’t need.C. Because paper use has increased by 33 percent from 1986 to 1997.D. Because large, heavy products require much packing material.49. What do companies do to meet the needs of the next-day delivery?A. Prepare more products.B. Get more workers to pack.C. Send the products by air.D. Open more stores in cities.50. Prost probably agrees that ______.A. people should drive to stores to buy thingsB. online shopping adds pollution to the environmentC. online shopping saves more than shopping in a storeD. people can buy things online without careful consideration51. What is probably the best title of the passage?A. A Good Deal to Make?B. A Different Lifestyle to Keep?C. A Cleaner Way to Shop?D. A New Business to Start?六、怀柔区2015年中考一模CThere are many online food shopping sites. This is very surprising. Things like CDs, books, and DVDs sell well online. But it is quite different to sell food online because people like to see food with their own eyes. It is very important for people to buy fresh fruit and vegetables. Customers like to choose their food by its colour. They also want to touch and smell it. But some people like to go to the same shop to buy food, because they think the food there has a very good quality. So if the food is always good, they may also feel comfortable buying it online.Boxes of fruits and vegetables have been delivered(递送) to homes around Britain for a few years now. Dried or canned foods are almost always the same, but things like apples are not. People may want to choose their own apples so they can take the ones that aren't bruised(碰伤)or the ones that look nice. Buying dried and canned food online is easier. A person can buy this kind of food on the Internet and then buy fruits and vegetables at a store or a market.Now people can also buy food through supermarket websites. There people can find most of the things that supermarkets usually sell. Other food websites sell different types of food. Some sell food from one part of the world such as Asia. Others sell food that is hard to find in supermarkets. There are also websites that sell sweet foods such as cakes and candies.The food is usually delivered by the next day or even on the same day. People still need to be careful, though. They must check to see if the food is fresh when they get it. It is a good idea for people to find out how far away the food is being delivered from. It is also a problem if the company does not use refrigeration when they deliver food that should be kept cold. If traveling long distances in the summer to deliver the goods, this is important.48.When people buy food, they usually __________.A. choose the colourB. don't touch or smell itC. go to different shops each timeD. want to see with their own eyes49. It is not so easy to buy________ online.A. CDs or DVDsB. apples or bananasC. dried or canned foodsD. books or magazines50. If fresh fruit and vegetables _______, customers will buy them online.A. look niceB. have a very good qualityC. make people feel comfortableD. have been put into boxes51. When customers get the food they buy, it's important for them to________.A. pay for itB. use refrigerationC. check itD. cook it七、门头沟区2014~2015学年度初三一模CLast week, my granddaughter started kindergarten(幼儿园), and certainly I wished her success. I was saying something that is not true. What I actually wish for her is failure. I believe in the importance of failure.Success is boring. Success is proving that you can do something that you already know you can do, or do something correctly the first time, which can often be a problem for the future. First-time success is usually a fluke(侥幸). First-time failure, in fact, is the natural order of things.Failure means how we learn. I have been told of an African phrase(短语) describing a good cook as “she who has broken many bowls”. If you’ve spent enough time in the kitchen and have broken a lot of bowls, probably you know a lot about cooking. I once had a dinner with a group of cooks, and they spent time comparing knife wounds and burn scars. They knew how much their failures gave them.My younger daughter is a dancer. She spent three years getting ready for an act. She did it successfully for years. There was no reason for her to change the act—but she did anyway. She said she was no longer learning anything new and she was bored; and if she was bored, she couldn’t play well. So she changed the act. She risked failure in order to feed her heart.My granddaughter is a perfectionist. But I will also, I hope, remind her of what she learned, and how she can do whatever it is better next time. I probably won’t tell her that failure is a good thing, because that’s not a lesson you can learn when you’re five. I hope I can t ell her, though, that it’s not the end of the world.

You know you should respect and be nice to your classmates. But do you have music manners?Keep It Down! You have to notice the volume of your music. You should not play your music so loud that everyone around you can hear it. Some people might even get angry. Usually, when you play the music loud on an MP3 player, other people can't hear the words of the song. They just hear a loud sound. No one wants to listen to this. Very loud music can also be bad for your ears. So even if you are alone when listening to our MP3 players, you shouldn't turn it up too high. Take Them Off! You need to know when to turn your MP3 off and put it away. Libraries, and schools don't allow MP3 players. There are other places, like museums, that don't have rules, but it would be rude to have your MP3 player on. Sometimes, it doesn't make sense to listen on your MP3 player at event. Why would you listen to music at a play, a movie or a sporting event? You would miss what is going on and others would wonder why you even came.Take One Out! Once in a while, it's okay just to take out one earphone and not other. Imagine you are listening on your MP3 player when someone asks you the way. It would not be rude to take out one earphone, tell him the way, and put back the earphone and continue listening. You can also do this when you order food at a fast-food restaurant or when you answer the telephone and it's not for you.It's Your Choice! There are times when you need to decide what is best. For example, some people can listen to music on their MP3 players when reading books, while others think it is disturbing. In cases like this, you need to do what seems right for you.49. We shouldn't turn up the music too high because loud music ______________..A．is not enjoyable B．hurts our ears C．is bad for MP3 players D．makes us uncomfortable50. If we listen to music at a sporting event, ___________.A. it’s impolite to othersB. we’ll miss part of the movieC. we won’t know what’s going onD. the players will be angry51 . We should turn our MP3 off and put it away when ___________ according to the passage.A. we read in a library B . someone asks us the wayC. we’re reading booksD. a waitor comes52. The writer wants us to ___________________ by writing the passage.A. be polite at restaurantsB. respect our classmates.C. follow the rules of librariesD. have music manners九、石景山区2015年初三英语一模试卷CSoap is more popular in liquid form than in bars in the UK – but there are good reasons to stick with the old traditional way of keeping clean, says GarethRubin.According to market research company Mintel, 87% ofBritons usually buy liquid soap, compared to only 13% who buy bars of it.solid soap is losing the popularity. But why do some people still prefer traditional solid soap?1. It’s what they’ve always known.Some people are just traditionalists. According to Mark Constantine, he thinks it’s always lovely when we’re using something that’s been about for 3,000 years. Solid soap has got a hugehistory and they’re very beautiful.2. Solid soap is more pleasant.Smelling a plastic bottle doesn’t feel very comfortable, while you can get bars of different textures and smells – some bars have sea salt, nuts, fruits or flowers in them for a bit of a surprise. Others come in beautiful or even funny shapes and sizes. You can tie attractive bars of soap up in silk ribbons (丝带) and present them as a gift to a loved one – the effect i sn’t quite the same when you do this with a liquid soap.3. Less packaging (包装) is better for the planet.All those bottles has to come from somewhere and go somewhere. Recycling can only do so much, whereas typically a bar of soap comes in a little paper wrapper and that’s it. If you care about the environment, you can even buy bars of soap without paper around them. “And about 60% of the cost of a bottle of soap goes on the packaging and the pump (泵头).” says Constantine.4. The bottles are a little bit difficult.You can hold a bar of soap in one hand and it works. With the bottles you first have to use both hands to unlock the pump, and shut your eyes to the liquid slowly dropping the sticky thing onto your bathroom floor. When the bar of soap runs down, you can still use it until it is no more, but with the liquid soap it is a difficult task to get the last drop out of the bottom.【】48. According to market research company Mintel, ______.A. solid soap is as popular as liquid soapB. more people refuse to buy liquid soapC. solid soap is becoming less popularD. solid soap is better for the planet 【】49. Compared to solid soap, liquid soap ______.A. has less packagingB. has a much longer historyC. is more pleasant in smellsD. has less funny shapes and sizes【】50. What can you infer from the passage?A. Liquid soap is not worth the price according to Constantine.B. A bottle of liquid soap cannot be a present for a friend.C. More people will buy solid soap without silk ribbons.D. It’s impossib le to use up the liquid soap in a bottle.【】51. What does the passage mainly talk about?A. People’s preference to soap is changing.B. Liquid soap is still liked by many Britons.C. The advantages and disadvantages of solid soap.D. The reasons why some people still prefer solid soap.十、顺义区2015届初三第一次统一练习CSome people say that today, reading is not as important as it was. These days we h ave photographs, films, radio and television. Why read a description of something when you can look at a photograph? Why read a newspaper when the latest news is brought to us every hour on radio and TV?Photography was certainly a wonderful invention. Pho tographs can give a very clear idea of places and of people that we have never seen. An encyclopedia (百科全书) , for example, is always better when it has good illustrations. But we also need words to explain the photographs and drawings. A photograph of an elephant may give us a very good idea of what an elephant looks like, but it tells us nothing about the different sorts of elephants there are and where they are found, their exact size and weight, how they can be useful to man and so on.In the same way, a good film has action, movement, color, and maybe music.These are things we do not find on the printed page. But reading a novel has certain advantages over watching even an excellent feature film. Reading a novel requires imagination. Each of us imagines a story differently.Watching news on television can certainly be exciting. But we need newspapers as well. Some important news stories happen when there are no cameras around. More importantly, a newspaper does not just report the news. It explains why something has been happening. It also contains interesting articles on different subjects. Newspapers are an important part of our lives, if we want to understand what is going on in the places we live as well as in other parts of the world.Reading is very important for information and pleasure. We need to be good readers to enjoy a full life as human beings. Reading is a skill and like other skills, it needs practice. The more we read, the better readers we become. And the better readers we become, the more we enjoy reading! The secret is to get the reading habit. Read at least a little every day.48.According to Paragraph 2, photographs can give us __________.A. enough information about people and placesB. no information about thingsC. some information about things but not enoughD. the wrong information about things49. Newspapers contain __________.A. more information than televisionB. less information than televisionC. more news from other countriesD. less information about important events than TV50. What are the advantages of novel over a feature film?A. There are more interesting subjects in novels.B. We do not hear any music in a novel.C. Novels always explain what is happening.D. Novels make us use our imagination.51. What does the author think about reading?A. It is a wonderful invention.B. It is an important part of our lives.C. It requires no practices.D. It is not as important as television.十一、丰台区2014-2015学年度中考一模CLooking for an original way to raise money for charity? Has your school run out of clever and fun ideas? Don’t give up.

2015北京市中考英语一模阅读B篇汇编含答案

2015北京市中考英语一模阅读B篇汇编含答案一、北京市朝阳区2015中考一模BSpam (垃圾邮件) mail is a fact of Internet life. Some of it carries bad things, but the main problem with spam is that it is unpleasant because it fills your mail box with pointless messages.Most email programs have built-in filters (过滤器) that will discover unwanted messages and put them into a junk folder (垃圾文件夹). You can make the filter learn what you consider to be spam or block certain senders.Avoid letting your email address appear on websites—spammers search the Internet for email addresses. Be careful who you give your email address to, and if you need to send out several copies of an email, use blind copy instead to cover the other people’s addresses.Delete (删除) spam emails without opening them. Signs of possible spam are bad spelling in email headers, strange sender addresses, or emails sent at unusual hours. If you do open a spam mail, never reply to it or click on any pictures it may have.If you receive an unexpected email pretending (伪装) to come from your bank, credit card company or other suppliers, be very careful. If the email asks you to reply, don’t do it! Instead, call up these places or visit their websites.Consider setting up a second email address and keep one address for your personal use and another for your online communication.44.

These stories often have a lesson to teach, too. Here are the stories of some everyday household inventions.Canned Food and the Can Opener—Get It Right!Peter Durand invented canned food in 1810, but there was a problem. Durand didn't have a good way to open the cans. In 1858, Ezra Warner invented a can opener. It used a piece of metal to cut and remove the top from the can, but it was difficult to use. Finally, in 1870, William Lyman added a wheel to the can opener. The metal went around the top of the can and removed it easily. Finally, people were able to open cans without a lot of work. Canned food was soon popular.Frozen Food—A Little Good Luck Can Help!Clarence Birdseye had the chance to go on a trip to如e Arctic. When people there caught fish, they put the fish in a container (容器) of ice to freeze it quickly. When people cooked the fish later, it was still good! This gave Birdseye an idea. He thought people could also have this kind of food at home. In 1926, Birdseye invented frozen food. People were able to store food in freezers for a long time.Air Conditioning—One Answer to Two Problems!Printing companies make books, so they use a lot of paper. Sometimes, changes in the weather can hurt the paper. In 1902, Willis Carrier invented air conditioning to control the temperature inside his printing company. This saved the paper. People soon realized other benefits of air conditioning. They started to air condition their homes in the summer. Carrier's invention changed the world!44. When was canned food invented?A. In 1810.B. In 1870.C. In 1902.D. In 1926.45. After the trip to the Arctic, Clarence Birdseye invented ____________.A. canned foodB. can openersC. frozen foodD. air conditioning46.

However, putting your feet on the table, using iPads, eating and drinking may also take place in school. Americans are famous for their casual (随意的)style. I didn’t think it was a big deal until I arrived here.I was told sitting still is what you should do in middle school. That is a traditional Chinese way to show that we are paying attention to what the teacher is saying. Meanwhil e, it doesn’t seem to matter in the US. When I first saw a student lying on a sofa, I was shocked and thought the teacher may feel angry, but she didn’t. She just smiled and kept talking. Then I got used to it, and enjoyed the relaxing and comfortable position (姿势) in class. Yet it’s really easy to fall asleep if I feel too comfortable.Also, we don’t have uniforms at school. We can wear whatever we want. And teenagers here feel free to eat breakfast, snacks, and drink soda while teachers are talking. Teachers wo n’t feel upset and may even eat with them. Once, my English teacher was secretly eating a bag of chips in her seat.American teachers chat with students in class. It makes us feel closer to them. Although it does mean we go off topic easily. In comparision, Chinese teachers are strict, but it helps us to focus on our task.44. Where is the writer from?A. America.B. China.C. England.D. I don’t know.45.

A九、平谷区2014-2015学年度初三统练（一）BSometimes people call ours a "throwaway society". That means that we're always throwing away old things and buying new ones. Many times, you no longer need something, but someone else may just need to buy one. For example, if your baby doesn't like his toy car any longer, why notgive it to a nearly family who has a little kid? That's one less plastic toy car that they need to buy. It's also one less plastic toy that needs to be produced, packaged and shipped to the toy store.Here arc some other ways to help the society save resources (资源):★Use the other side of the paper so that less trees are cut down.★Use rechargeable (可再充电的) batteries for your electric toys, MP3 players, cell phones, and cameras.★ Choose reusable travel cups instead of disposable (一次性的) paper or plastic cups.★Take your own cloth shopping bags instead of using the plastic bags that are offered when you go shopping.★ Drink tap water instead of buying bottled water.And there are some things you can exchange with your friends, for example, books, toys, even clothes. It's a way for everyone to get something new without spending any money and without throwing many things away.45. What does “throwaway society” mean according to the passage?A. we don’t like old things.B. we don’t buy new things.C. we’r e always throwing away old things.D. we’re always throwing away old things and buying new ones.46. What do we help the society if we give a second-hand toy car to a neighbor kid?A. Produce more new onesB. Develop fastC.Become richer and richerD. Save resources47. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?A. We should buy things that can be reused in our daily life.B. We can exchange some things with others for further use.C. It's good for us to throw away old things and buy new ones.D. We are supposed to give the things we no longer need to our neighbors.48. What should we do in our daily life after reading the passage?A. Try to throw as few old things as we can.B. Use as many disposable things as possible.C. Drink bottled water even though there is tap water around.D. Buy everything we need instead of exchanging them with others.答案：45-48 DDCA十、石景山区2015年初三英语一模试卷BAmerican English is full of colorful expressions. One such expression is to touch all bases.There are four bases in baseball – first, second, third and home plate. When a baseball player hits the ball, he must run to each base – in order – and touch it with his foot. It is the only way to get a point. If the player hits the ball and fails to touch all the bases, the point will not be counted.The importance of touching all the bases was shown at the start of the 1974 baseball seasons.Hank Aaron was a player with the Atlanta Braves team. He was trying to find the record for hitting the most home runs (全垒打). Aaron needed just one home run to be well matched with the record held by Babe Ruth, the greatest hitter in baseball history. Aaron got that home run the very first time he had a chance to hit the ball. That gave him 714 home runs – the same as Babe Ruth. After that day, baseball fans held their breath every time when it was Hank Aaron’s turn to hit. When would he hit home run number 715?The wait was not long. In the second week of the season, Aaron again hit the ball over the wall. He had beaten Babe Ruth’s record. But first, he had to run around the four bases. The other players on his team watched carefully to make sure he touched each one.So, to touch all bases means to do what is necessary to complete an activity.The expression is used to business and politics. No business deal or political events are really complete until you discuss all the problems involved. Or, as it is said, until you touch all bases. 【】44. When a baseball player hits the ball, he must ______ to get a point.A. run to each base freelyB. touch t he home plate firstC. touch all the bases with his handsD. run to each base in order and touchit with his foot【】45. When was the importance of touching all the bases shown?A. At the start of the 1974 baseball seasons.B. At the end of the 1974 baseball seasons.C. Before the baseball rules made.D. In the second week of 1974.【】46. Who hit home run number 715?A. Babe Ruth.B. Hank Aaron.C. Babe R uth’s partner.D. Hank Aaron’s friend.【】47. What does the expression “to touch all bases” mean?A. To do what is needed to finish an activity.B. To get a chance to be the greatest hitter.C. To try your best to set a new record.D. To solve the problems successfully.答案：44. D 45. A 46. B 47.

When the evening arrived，they found their seats near the front of the concert hall and looked at the big piano waiting on the stage(舞台). Soon the mother found a friend to talk to and her son ran off.At eight o’clock, the lights in the hall became weak, and the concert was set to start. The mother began to look for the boy. Then, she saw her 6-year-old son on stage. He was on the piano bench playing Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star.The mother was very amazed. Before she could get her son back, the famous pianist himself was on the stage and quickly moved to the piano.“Don’t stop. Keep playing,” he said kindly to the boy. The great pianist reached down with his left hand and began filling in the bass (低音部) part of the song. Soon, his right arm reached around the other side and played a beautiful piece of music. Together, the old pianist and the little boy impressed people with their beautiful music.In all of our lives, we receive helping hands — some w e notice, some we don’t. Equally we ourselves also have lots of chances to give a helping hand to others —sometimes we want people to know, sometimes we don’t. Little of what we all achieve comes without others’ help. What we r eceive we should give back.44.

I 39 on a bee, and while it was dying under my foot, it stung (蛰) me. I instantly started to feel 40 . That night, I began to run a high fever and my leg and foot were red, hot and swollen. I couldn’t w alk. I could barely 41 .When my foot started to go numb, everyone became more 42 . My foot was not getting enough blood. I had to go to the 43 , and my leg hurt as if it were badly broken. I couldn’t move. All I could do was think about how soft my middle was becoming. That 44 me more than any concern over my leg.That would all 45 when I heard the doctors mention possibly cutting off my foot. It was still not getting the 46 supply it needed. The doctors would have to speed up their treatment.Never before did I have such great 47 for my foot. And walking seemed like a 48 from the gods. Less and less would I want to hear my friends talk about 49 and who was wearing what. More and more I expected visits from other kids in the hospital, who were quickly becoming my friends.One girl came to visit me 50 . Every time she came, she brought flowers. She was recovering from cancer and felt she should come back and 51 the other patients.She still had no hair, and she was swollen from medications she had been taking. I would not have given this girl a second 52 before. I now loved every inch of her and looked forward to her 53 .Finally, I was improving and soon I went home. My leg was still swollen, 54 I was walking, and I had my foot! When I would go back to the hospital, I often saw my friend. She was still visiting people and 55 good cheer. I thought if even there was an angel on this earth, it had to be her.36. A. grades B. brains C. bodies D. clothes37. A. ashamed B. proud C. sure D. tired38.

Her first experiments began with Alex. Alex was a one-year-old African grey parrot and Irene taught him to produce the sou nds of the English language. ―I thought if he learned to communicate, I could ask him questions about how he sees the world.‖At the time, most scientists didn’t believe animals had any thoughts. They thought animals were more like robots but didn’t have t he ability to think or feel. Of course, if you own a pet you probably disagree. But it is the job of a scientist to prove this and nowadays more scientists accept that animals can think for themselves.―That’s why I started my studies with Alex,‖ Irene said, ―Some people actually called me crazy for trying this.‖Nowadays, we have more and more evidence that animals have all sorts of mental abilities. Sheep can recognize faces. Chimpanzees (黑猩猩) use a variety of tools and even use weapons to hunt. And Alex the parrot became a very good talker.Thirty years after the Alex studies began. Irene was still giving him English lessons up until his recent death. For example, if Alex was hungry he could say ―want grape‖. Alex could count to six and was learning the sounds for seven and eight. ―He has to hear the words over and over before he can correctly say them.‖ Irene said, after pronouncing ―seven‖ for Alex a few times in a row. Alex could also tell the difference between colors, shapes, sizes, and materials (e.g. wood and metal). Before he finally died, Alex managed to say ―seven‖.Another famous pet that proved some animals have greater mental skills was a dog called Rico. He appeared on a German TV game show in 2011. Rico knew the names of 200 different toys and easily learned the names of new ones. When Rico became famous, many other dog owners wanted to show how clever their pets were. Another dog called Betsy could understand 300 words.One theory for dogs’ ability to learn a language is that they have been close companions to humans for many centuries and so their ability to understand us is constantly evolving (进化). While animals can’t do what humans do yet, some scientists believe that examples like Alex and Rico prove that evolution develops intelligence, as well as physical appearance.56. Irene wanted to find out __________.A. what a parrot thinksB. why a parrot can speakC. how parrots make soundsD. if parrots speak English57. Alex learnt new words by __________.A. singing themB. reading themC. writing themD. rehearing them58. The two dogs mentioned in the article could _______.A. understand some wordsB. recognize strange voicesC. copy human gesturesD. tell different colors59. The article concludes that ___________.A. our pets understand what we sayB. dogs may speak to humans one dayC. humans are related to chimpanzeesD. mental ability can evolve in animalsCoaches are the base of my life, next to my mother who raised me when my dad left us. I have been into sports since I was six years old. I have known many coaches and heard hundreds of their tips, but they usually focused on drills to develop my skills and reach the next level of play.When I was in Senior Two, I met the new school basketball coach, Brian Pawloski. I thought I was certain to be selected for the school team since I had been in it the year before. I showed up to the tryouts and put out about 90% effort since I thought I’d make it with no problem. That was a big mistake.Brian Pawloski is the hardest-working coach I have ever met. He didn’t expect 100% effort, he expected 200% effort. One example: he once made us do 40 suicide drills for the 40 lay-ups (投篮) we missed in a game. Some think this is crazy, but it isn’t. After this conditioning practice, as we were getting a cup of cold water to drink, I said, ―coach, that was the best practice I ever had.‖ I was completely sincere. This man was and is the person who influenced me most at my high school. He expects us to be excellent not just on the court but in the classroom. If I am not working on basketball, I am reading a book that he thinks will help us better understand life’s challenges, including Wooden, Coach, and The Screwtape Letters.In the first two years I slacked off, not putting forth my full potential. Now, unlike the coaches of my youth, this man was interested in how he did off the court. He always made sure I kept up with my studies and was able to be trusted. I can honestly say that on other coach has given me so much advice on how to succeed in basketball, but more importantly, in life. My school is lucky to have such a great person to teach, coach and influence their students. I will always remember my high-school basketball days as one of the hardest times I have ever worked in my life not only in basketball but in my growth as an individual.60. Different from other coaches, Coach Brian ________.A. concentrated on skill trainingB. trained the team to the edge of deathC. expected the team to do well in their studiesD. asked the team to do more reading than training61. The underlined phrase ―slacked off‖ in the last paragraph probably means ________.A. paid no attentionB. showed no interestC. had less passionD. made less effort62. In the author’s eye, Coach Brian is ________.A. strict and helpfulB. hardworking and honestC. skilled and cruelD. professional and seriousAs we grow old, we realize that we have so little time to read and there are so many great books that we’ve yet to get around to. Ye re-readers are everywhere around us. For certain fans, re-reading The Lord of the Rings is a conventional practice annually. One friend told me that Jane Austen’s Emma can still surprise him, despite his having read it over 50 times.New sudden clear understandings can be gained from the process of re-reading. Journalist Rebacca Mead, a long-time Englishwoman in New York, fir st came across George Eliot’s Middlemarch at 17. Since then, she has read it again every five years. With each re-reading, it has opened up further; in each chapter of her life, it has resonated (引起共鸣) differently. Mead evidenced the large number of ways in which really good books not only stand the test of repeat reads, but also offer fresh gifts each time we crack their spines. These kinds of books grow with us.Scientists have also recognized the mental health benefits of re-reading. Research conducted with readers in the US found that on our first reading, we are concerned with the ―what‖ and the ―why‖. Second time round, we’re able to better appreciate the emotions that the plot continues to express. As researcher Cristel Russell of the American University explained, returning to a book ―brings new or renewed appreciation of both the great book and its readers.‖It’s true that we often find former selves on the pages of old books (if we’re fond of making notes on the pages). These texts can carry us back to a time and place, and remind us of the kind of person that we were then. We’re changed not only by lived experience but also by read experience –by the books that we’ve discovered since last reading the one in our hand.More so than the movie director or the musician, the writer calls upon our imaginations, using words to lead us to picture this declaration of love or that unfaithfulness in life. A book is a joint project between writers and readers, and we must pour so much of ourselves into reading that our own life story can become connected with the story in the book.Perhaps what’s really strange is that we don’t re-read more often. After all, we watch our favourite films again and we wouldn’t think of listening to an album only once. We treasure m essy old paintings as objects, yet of all art forms, literature alone is a largely one-time delight. A book, of course, takes up more time, but as Mead confirms, the rewards make it adequately worthwhile.63. The two books are mentioned in Paragraph 1 mainly to __________.A. attract the attention of readersB. introduce the topic of the passageC. provide some background informationD. show the similarity between re-readers64. The underlined expression ―crack their spines‖ in Paragraph 2 refers to ________.A. recite themB. re-read themC. recall themD. retell them65. It can be learned from the passage that __________.A. reading benefits people both mentally and physicallyB. readers mainly focus on feelings on their first readingC. we know ourselves better through re-reading experienceD. writers inspire the same imaginations as film directors do66. The purpose of the passage is to __________.A. call on different understandings of old booksB. focus on the mental health benefits of readingC. bring awareness to the significance of re-readingD. introduce the effective ways of re-reading old booksEvery day we are exposed to images, videos, music and news. In this age of visual and aural hyper-stimulation, the medium of radio is making a great comeback.―We’re at the beginning of a golden age of audio,‖ said US-based podcaster Alex Blumberg in an article in The Sydney Morning Herald. In the last month alone, 15 percent of US adults listened to a radio podcast (播客). These statistics, released by Edison Research, show the successful evolution of traditional radio broadcasts to the pres ent day’s digital podcast format. The term ―podcast‖ was invented in 2004, but the trend only started gaining mainstream popularity in recent years. With the sharp increase in consumer demand for smartphones and tablets, podcast sales have jumped.The appeal of the podcast partly lies in its multiplatform delivery and on-demand capabilities (功能). You can listen during those extra minutes of the day when you’re walking to the shops, waiting in a queue or riding the subway. Similar to television shows, podcasts are generally free to download and most offer new content every week.Donna Jackson, 22, Sydney University media graduate, listens to podcasts two or three times a week, via iTurns. ―I listen while I’m wandering around the house doing something else. It makes completing a boring task much more enjoyable… And it’s an easy way of keeping in touch with what’s going on in the rest of the world,‖ she said, ―I mainly listen to BBC podcasts, but recently I’ve also been listening to This American Life and Serial. They have a special skill to really draw you in.‖Unlike television and music, the audio format has the potential to create a deep impression on readers. Blumberg says this owes to the podcast’s ability ―to create close relationship and emotional connection.‖ Sydney University undergraduate Hazel Proust, majoring in social work and arts, agrees. ―When you’re listening, it feels as if the voice of the podcast’s storyteller is talking directly to you. It’s comforting, ‖ said Proust.It seems the age-old tradition of verbal storytelling is very much alive and well.67. From the first two paragraphs, we can learn that ________.A. traditional broadcast has come backB. Americans love listening to the radioC. podcasts have become very popular todayD. smartphones sell well because of podcasts68. The writer mentions Donna Jackson mainly to ________.A. tell how young people relax themselvesB. explain why young people like podcastsC. introduce what programs podcasts are presentingD. show how popular podcasts are presenting69. Paragraph 5 is mainly about ________.A. the influence of radiosB. the advantage of podcastsC. readers’ impression on radiosD. people’s reaction to the medium70. What is probably the best title of the passage?A. Return of RadioB. Opinions of PodcastC. Features of RadioD. Technology of Podcast第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，共10分）House SittingIn many countries of the world people do what is called house sitting. It means that if owners of the house are going away, they want someone to come into their home and look after the house and maybe pets while they are away.In Australia, many people travel. After people retire, they might buy a van and travel all over the country. 71 So if someone wants to travel or go away for some reason, they might want someone in their home to care for it and keep the gardens tidy. House sitters might have to care for pets. Also, quite a few people have swimming pools in their back yard and they need cleaning. 72 I feel it is a great way of seeing the country, because you go and stay in a new city, get to meet new people, and have time to go sightseeing in a new area.73 There are websites where you find the advertisements by people who want to travel, and by replying to the advertisement, you can make arrangements to go and look after their home.There are some requirements to be a house sitter. You must be a trusted person, so that the home owner knows you will not steal anything. You must be able to go when the house owner wants you to go, so you need lots of free time. 74 You need to be good with pets, able to care for cats and dogs, or other pets they may have.Some house sitting jobs are just for a few days or a couple of weeks while the house owner have a short holiday. Sometimes it is for much longer. We have had one house sit for six months, while the home owner travelled to Europe.75 Then you can travel to many different countries and stay there. One of the important things to get are references from the home owners where you have stayed. A reference is a written letter to say that you are trustworthy and have looked after their home well. You can show these letters to prospective house sitting jobs and they know you will do a good job.A. I have done house sitting many times.B. Thousands of people do this all the time.C. It is also possible to do house sitting in other countries.D. Generally you have many opportunities to get a house sitting job.E. You must take a little care over what your description says about you.F. This is an international house sitting service for all city and country areas.G. You must have a good car, so you can travel to different parts of the country.第四部分：书面表达（共两节，35分）第一节(15分)假设你是校图书馆馆长的学生助理李华，图书馆要进行网络系统升级，请在阅览室向在场的留学生口头通知相关事宜，并请他们转告其他留学生。

2015海淀区高三一模英语试题及答案解析高三第一学期期末练习(6)双击单词可弹出解释框时间:2015-01-23 13:17 作者:admin21[答案]：C [翻译]：近来太忙，我平时每个月和笔友往来的邮件都无法坚持了。

[解析]：本题考查介词。

空前to和空格中的from构成―往来‖的含义。

22[答案]：C [翻译]：-你听说海洋世界表演时鲨鱼袭击的事儿了么？-是啊，真可怕！一个驯兽师当场丧生。

[解析]：本题考查时态语态。

本题是常见的过去时考点，表示对于已知事实的回答。

事实要用一般时，过去的事实用一般过去时。

类似题目还有很多，简单举一个例子：(2008 北京, 22) -Have you read a book called Waiting for Anya? -Who ______ it?A. writesB. has writtenC. wroteD. had written [答案]：C23[答案]：A [翻译]：北京正建着的地铁16号线预计今年开通。

[解析]：本题考查非谓语动词。

在名词之后的空格要优先找动词与前面名词的主被动关系，本题16 号线和建设为被动关系，排除B、D 两个选项。

空后已知内容是计划开通，可知建设还未完成，故确定A选项为答案。

24【答案】：A 【翻译】：这个房间不是我原来想预定的那个。

【解析】：本题考查表语从句。

根据从句完整原则，从句中谓语动词wanted 缺少宾语，因此选择what 做从句的宾语。

25【答案】：B 【翻译】：我的老板是个大方的人，我们接大订单的时候他最大方。

【解析】：本题考查副词。

very/rather 都是能表示―十分‖的程度副词，题干中有and 表示递进关系，因此very 不能前后重复，如果后文再次出现一般省略；rather 一般修饰负面情感的形容词，而此处是generous可以排除；only 在语意上不通，较容易排除；此处是最高级，表示在接到订单时最大方。

that had our tasty lunch in it．I could just （32）the day in my mind in hopes that it would never end．We both went out onto the dock（船坞）and I thought，"Do I put his life jacket on first or load the boat

did he come from？I noticed he had no collar （项圈）．Who would be so careless？I went inside and brought out a can of fish．The cat hungrily ate it up and then walked right inside the house．I wanted to get him out，but I hesitated．Our family never owned pets，but I had always wanted one．Just then，the cat meowed and jumped up onto my leg．Well，he seemed to like me!Maybe I didn't have to give him back after all!The cat kept me owing a lot．I knew I had to go to the store and get some cat food．On my way out，I saw a sign on the telephone pole：Black and white，very friendly．If you find him，please call us at 617﹣58463302．We are worried sick．"Hmm，"I thought．"If you were so worried about your kitten，maybe you should have taken better care of him!"When I walked into the pet store，I saw a group of kids hanging up notices about thissame cat there．"I can't believe I lost my cat!"a little boy in a wheelchair cried to his parents．"I couldn't get to the open door in time!"I looked at the notices on the wall．It was surely the cat I had back at home．Then the truth of the situation hit me：I had stolen a little boy's cat!Now I realized there was a lot I didn't understand．I tried to explain why I should keep the cat by convincing myself the owners deserved to lose him．Now I saw that it was all a big mistake．I walked to the little boy．"I have your cat，"I told him．"I'm sorry．I just found him and fed him．He's at my house．"The little boy began to cry with laughter．He blew his nose and gave me a great big hug．"Thank you so much!I was just about to put a new collar on him when he ran out of the door．I couldn't chase him!Because of my…you know…my legs．""I'll be right back，"I told him．I ran home to get the cat and reunite owner and pet．44．What did the writer think of the cat's owner at

too soon．C．Too often we enjoy cats as good company．D．Everyone should help people in trouble．25．（8分）Need to buy something？Why go to a store？Buy it on the Internet!Need it now？Why wait？Ask for next﹣day delivery!Each day，more and more people try online shopping．In fact，online sales have doubled in the last ten years．But not everyone is excited．Some scientists now say that online shopping is bad for the environment．People are surprised to hear this．"They think，‘I don't need to drive，and the business doesn't need to build a store，so there will be less pollution，'"says Nuria Prost，an environmental scientist．"But it is not so simple．In fact，online shopping is wasteful．It also adds to air pollution．"In truth，the Internet is not always as good a friend to the environment as it seems．For example，most people thought that the Internet would help offices use less paper and other materials．But paper use increased by 33percent between 1986and 1997．"Online shopping could have similarly negative effects，"says Nevil Cohen，a professor of environmental science．Part of the problem is what people are buying these days．In the past，people bought things on the Internet that did not require much packing material，such as books and clothing．But now people also shop online for large，heavy products such as televisions，computers，and furniture．These products need to be packed in large amounts of plastic and paper．This creates a lot of waste．Another problem caused by online shopping is air pollution．When customers buy products and ask for next﹣day delivery，companies often have to send them by air．Airplanes use much more fuel than cars and produce more carbon dioxide（CO2）．When people buy a lot of different things from different online businesses，this creates even more travel by airplane．Online product returns are also a problem．For example，an online shoe store may allow customers to return shoes without extra pay if they are the wrong size．This doubles the packing material and number of airplane trips required to sell one pair of shoes．"If people want to protect the environment，they need to think before they shop，"says Prost．"People need to ask themselves：Is this exactly what I want？Do I really need it tomorrow，or can I wait？"Online stores can also charge（收费）customers for returns．This may make people shop more carefully．"Online shopping is fast and easy，"says Prost，"but we can't forget the negative effects it has on the environment．"48．Why does online shopping create a lot of waste？A．Because companies charge more for product returns．B．Because people buy too many things they don't need．C．Because paper use has increased by 33percent from 1986to 1997．D．Because large，heavy products require much packing material．49．What do companies do to meet the needs of the next﹣day delivery？A．Prepare more products．B．Get more workers to pack．C．Send the products by air．D．Open more stores in cities．50．Prost probably agrees that．A．people should drive to stores to buy thingsB．online shopping adds pollution to the environmentC．online shopping saves more than shopping in a storeD．people can buy things online without careful consideration51．What is probably the best title of the passage？A．A Good Deal to Make？B．A Different Lifestyle to Keep？C．A Cleaner Way to Shop？D．A New Business to Start？26．（8分）"You expect your friends to see you in a positive manner，but they also are observers of the personalities that could cause you an early death，"said Joshua Jackson，an assistant professor of psychology in Arts & Sciences．Published in the journal Psychological Science，the study shows that your personality at an early age can predict how long you will live across 75years and that close friends are usually better than you at recognizing these traits．"Our study shows that people are able to observe and evaluate（评价）a friend's personality exactly enough to predict early death years down the road，"Jackson said．"It suggests that people are able to see important characteristics related to health even when their friends were，for the most part，healthy and many years from death．"While other studies have shown that a person's view of his or her own personality can be helpful in evaluating death risks，there has been little research on whether a close friend's personality evaluation might also predict the chances of a long life．To explore this question，Jackson and colleagues analyzed data（数据）from a longitudinal study that in the 1930s began following a group of young people in their mid﹣20s．The study included wide﹣ranging data on participant（参与者）personalities，both self﹣reported and as reported by close friends．Using information from follow﹣up studies and searches of death certificates（证书），Jackson and colleagues were able to record dates of death for all but a few study participants．Peer（同龄人）evaluations of personality were stronger predictors of death risks than were self﹣evaluations of personality．"There are two possible reasons for the advantage of peer evaluations over self﹣evaluations，"Jackson said．"First，friends may see something that you miss；they may have some insight that you do not．Second，because people have several friends，we are able to average the characteristics of any one friend to get a more trustworthy evaluation of personality．With self﹣reports，people may miss certain sides of themselves and we are not able to counteract（抵抗）that because there is only one you，only one self﹣report．"The study also shows some gender differences in self﹣evaluation：Men's self﹣evaluations of personality were somewhat useful in predicting their lifespans（寿命），whereas the self﹣reports of women had little predictive value．"This is one of the longest studies in psychology，"Jackson said．"It shows how important personality is in influencing important life outcomes like health，and that information from friends can play a critical role in understanding a person's health issues．52．What can we learn from Paragraph 2？A．People's health is related to their friends．B．Friends can predict lifespans better than us．C．An early personality evaluation helps us live longer．D．The study shows most people can live across 75years．53．The underlined word"insight"in Paragraph 6probably means""．A．adviceB．influenceC．imaginationD．understanding54．Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage？A．People with more close friends have better personalities．B．Self﹣evaluations have advantages over peer evaluations．C．Men predict their lifespans more exactly than women．D．The findings are based on participants'disease data．55．What can we infer from the last paragraph？A．Friends'personality evaluations can help recognize health risks．B．Best friends play an important role in treating certain diseases．C．Psychology studies may influence personality development．D．Personality has little important effect on people's health．五、阅读短文，根据短文内容，从短文后的五个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项．每个选项只能用一次．27．（10分）The Same But

exercise．Aquatic exercise is a kind of exercise you do in a swimming pool．For example，you can run，walk，or even do a mind﹣body practice，such as yoga．More and more people are trying aquatic exercise．In the United States，the numberhas grown by 25% in recent years．People in other countries are also doing aquatic exercise more frequently．Aquatic exercise has many benefits．First of all，it feels easier than exercising on land．Why？You weigh about 90% less in the pool．It is also better for your knees than running or walking．Aquatic exercise feels easy，but you still burn calories（卡）．Water is 1，000times thicker and heavier than air．In the same amount of time，you can burn more calories in the pool than in the gym．That's because it takes more energy to move in the water．But what if you are scared of the water？No problem!There is nothing to worry about．Aquatic exercise is safe and easy to learn．It doesn't require any special skills．For most kinds of aquatic exercise，you don't even need to know how to swim．In fact，most people say they feel more relaxed in the water．They stop thinking about the things that make them anxious．The cool and quiet environment makes them exercise more．Aquatic exercise is suitable for everyone．You can do it at any age．It can even help people who have been hurt in accidents．With aquatic exercise，they can move in ways they can't on land．For example，some people who can't walk can walk and even run in the water．So are you looking for a fun new way to improve your health？Why not try？Join the millions of people who are burning calories while keeping cool in the pool．61．Where do people do aquatic exercise？62．Why do people burn more calories while doing aquatic exercise？63．Is it difficult to learn aquatic exercise？64．Who is aquatic exercise suitable
