But for some people, it's time for them to enjoy a nighttime snack also called ye xiao.Ye xiao is the fourth meal of the day in China. It usually starts from 8 p. m. and lasts until 2 a. m. It is different between the north and the south.People from different places have their special taste. For example, in the north part of China, barbeque (烧烤) is the most common night snack, especially in summer, while in the south it changes from spicy crayfish (小龙虾) in Hunan to tasty desserts in Guangdong.Taiwan's night market is very famous. It is a place for eating and shopping. Parents take their children to eat at street stalls. Young people shop around. Old people just sit around and chat.Today, with the popularity of social media (社交媒体) ye xiao is changing in some places. For example, in Hong Kong traditional snacks include red bean soup and mango pudding. But now French pastries(法式小点) and handmade popsicles(棒冰) are new favorites, according to BBC.But why do people have ye xiao?“Some say that in southern China we have longer days, so we stay awake for longer and have more meals, ” Janice Leung Hayes, a food writer from Hong Kong, told the BBC.But ye xiao is not just about food.

Last month Hong Kong officers found 131，000 kilograms of broken computers, TVs and phones sent from Japan.Things like these are called electronic waste, or ewaste. Dealing with them is not an easy job. Every time an old computer breaks down, it needs to be dealt with safely. What is worse, at present, broken computer parts are usually buried. It may be hundreds of years before they really go in the earth.Many places in China are polluted by ewaste. Guiyu in Guangdong Province is one of them. This town is named as “the ewaste capital of the world”. It has to deal with 1. 5 million kilograms of ewaste each year, from which it makes 75 million yuan. But it comes at a cost. Many of the poisons in ewaste find their way into the environment. An environmental group has found the air, the earth and the rivers in Guiyu badly polluted.Luckily, the Chinese government wants the country to change the situation. This year, China passed a new environmental protection law. Computer companies like Lenovo and Dell will be asked to take back their old computers. Hopefully, the problem with ewaste will be solved in the near future.1. The ewaste found in Hong Kong last month was from ________.A. FranceB. JapanC. GermanyD. Australia2.

The bike that the service company provides has GPS or Bluetooth on it, and those bikes can be easily unlocked with a smart phone and left anywhere in public. Bikesharing allows people to borrow a bike from one place and return it at another place easily.In some cities, we can see more and more people riding this kind of sharingbikes. It's very convenient to use the bikes if you have a smart phone. First, you have to download such an APP on your smart phone. Then what you need to do is to find a nearest bike through the APP, scan the QR code on the bike or connect your phone with the bike over a Bluetooth wireless connection. You will find the bike can be unlocked itself. Then you can enjoy your trip. What's more, the greatest advantage of bikesharing is that you can easily find one and never worry about where to park it. The cost of riding depends on the time that you spend. Normally, every hour you ride, you need to pay one yuan. It doesn't cost so much, does it?At the same time, some people park the bikes in their own homes. Besides, some people don't value the bikes. Now service companies are trying to solve the problem like being stolen.Technology and science have changed our social lifestyles. We have to say bikesharing brings us more convenience without doubt. And we also hope that people can not only enjoy it but also put it to good use.1. From the first paragraph, we know ________.A. bikesharing is invented in ChinaB. sharingbikes are used by some peopleC. most people in cities don't driveD. sharingbikes can be borrowed anywhere2.

However, we have not found life on any other planets yet.The earth is a planet and it goes around the sun. Seven other planets also go around the sun. None of them has an environment with air, so people and living things cannot grow. The sun and its planets are called the solar system(太阳系). The solar system is a small part of our galaxy(星系).Scientists have also discovered many other galaxies in the universe. But they are far away and their light has to travel for many years to reach us. It is hard to understand how large the universe is.So far, scientists have sent lots of spaceships to look at other planets in the solar system, and some spaceships have gone beyond the solar system.

We wanted to do something to make a difference. ”In 2014, When Kaitlin was thirteen, she visited Central America, and saw people going hungry and families living in houses made of cardboard. That year, we set Kids on a Mission, which has helped hundreds of people there.“The rooms were smaller than my bedroom, but there would be eight people living in each one,” Kaitlin said. “We also got to see the dirty rivers that those people were drinking out of.”Providing clean drinking water, food and clothes for people living in poverty is now an important task for Kids on a Mission. “This young lady is changing the hearts of people, and also changing the world,” said the headmaster of Kaitlin's school.1. The job of Kaitlin's father was to________.A. sell foodB. build playgroundsC. visit schoolsD. help homeless people2. When did Kaitlin set Kids on a Mission?A. In 2009.B. In 2011.C. In 2014.D.

The Father's duty in the familyD. A girl's dream to end poverty阅读理解（九）Many kids help out around the house with chores such as emptying the dishwasher, putting laundry away, and taking out the trash. In exchange, some kids get allowances(补贴) or other rewards such as extra computer time.But some people do not think that kids should get rewards for doing chores. Susie Walton, a parenting educator and family coach, believes that by rewarding kids, parents are sending a message that work isn't worth doing unless you get something in__return. “Running any kind of household is a team effort, ” Susie said. “A home is a living space for everyone in the family. It's important for kids to see that we all have responsibilities in the house, and how they are going to keep it looking like what everyone wants it to be. ”Other people believe that getting a cash allowance or other rewards motivates kids to do chores, and it also teaches them real world lessons about how we need to work to earn money. There are also new applications that give kids points and digital gifts that can be redeemed (兑取) either online or in the real world. With the ChoreMonster app, kids earn digital points by completing chores that they can turn in for real-life rewards such as extra Xbox time or a trip to the mall. “Our goal is to encourage kids to earn rewards,” says Chris Bergman, the founder of ChoreMonster. “Kids need positive reinforcement (强化) to help motivate them. ”What do you think? Should kids be rewarded for doing chores? Or should kids help out around their house without getting anything in return?Write a 200word response. Send it to tfkasks 4 you @timeforkids. com. Your response may be published in a future issue of Time For Kids. Please include your grade and contact information of your parents or teacher if you want your response to be published. The deadline for responding is February 18.1. How does the author start the passage?A. By presenting some facts.B. By listing some evidence.C. By comparing different views.D. By showing his own experiences.2. What does the underlined phrase "in return "mean in Chinese?A. 回报B. 给予C. 完成D. 回复3. According to Susie Walton, ________.A. kids should be rewarded for doing choresB. parents decide what kids can do for the familyC. kids have the responsibility to share houseworkD. kids can get extra computer time for doing chores4. Paragraph 3 is mainly about ________.A. Chris Bergman's opinion on raising kidsB. main reasons why kids need encouragementC. how to motivate kids to try new applicationsD. the advantage of rewarding kids for doing chores5. The purpose of writing the text is to ________.A. invite readers to express their opinionsB. inform readers of two different opinionsC. call on readers to reflect on their behaviorD. present the author's viewpoint about parenting答案：阅读理解（一）1.B 2．C 3．C 4．D 5．A 阅读理解（二）1.A2.C3.D4.C5.

you learned in your first Chinese class in primary school was probably pinyin.The year2018marks pinyin's sixtieth birthday.In1958,Chinese linguist(语言学家)Zhou Youguang and his team designed pinyin.Before that,Chinese people used many other methods to denote(标注)the pronunciation of Chinese characters.In ancient China, people denoted Chinese characters using other Chinese characters that had the same pronunciation.Some of the symbols are Chinese character strokes(笔画)．For example,a vertical stroke(一竖)pronounced as“i”in pinyin.Some people in Taiwan still use this method.However,these methods are not as simple as pinyin.Because of pinyin,many illiterate(不识字的)people have learned how to read.We use pinyin to type Chinese characters into computers and phones.Pinyin has been useful in other ways,too.It helps to promote the use of Standard Chinese,or Mandarin, so people who speak different dialects(方言)can still understand each other.Pinyin is not only popular in China.Many people around the world start to learn Chinese by learning pinyin.You might say“nihao”instead of “hello”to a foreign friend.The Oxford English Dictionary(《牛津英语词典》)includes more than100Chinese words in pinyin,such as zhongguomeng for“Chinese dream”，and wanggou for“online shopping”．Pinyin is not only a language tool,but also a cultural bridge that connects China to the world,Guangming Daily noted.Pinyin is still young.But it has been and will still be a useful tool in the future.()6.The underlined word“promote”in the second paragraph may mean“________”in the passage.A．解释B．改善C．表达D．介绍()7.Paragraph2mainly tells us about________.A．the history of pinyin B．the designers of pinyinC．the problems of pinyin D．the future of pinyin()8.The writer talks about the

That creek used to be a grass field, but last week my brother dug a path from the fiver and made the creek.But I'll go him one better.See that pile of wood?1 want you to build me a fence，two meters tall，so 1 won't need to see him anymore.” The builder said thoughtfully.“I think I understand the situation and I'll be able to do a job that pleases you.” Paul had business in town that day and left the builder to his work.When he returned，the builder had just finished his job.Paul was shocked.Instead of a fence there was a bridge, stretching from one side of the creek to the other.As Paul stood on the bridge, staring in amazement，his younger brother Jason, cameacross, and took Paul's hand.“You are a good man to have built this bridge after a11 I've done，”said Jason. Then, Paul, with tears in his eyes, said to the builder who was packing his bag to go, “Thank you so much. Please stay.I have much more for you to do.” “I'd love to.”the builder said quietly，“but，I have many more bridges to build.”1.What was the cause of the disagreement between the two brothers?A.The digging of the creek.B.A problem about a farm animal.C.Who owned the field between the farms.D.Who would pay for building the fence.2.The underlined expression“ go him one better” in paragraph 4 means.

One of my father's friends, Bernie, was a rich businessman, who owned a large store in St. Paul.Every summer, when the first watermelons arrived, Bernie would call. Dad and I would go to Bernie's place. We'd sit on the edge of the dock（码头）, feet dangling（摇晃）, and got ready for a big meal.Bernie would take his knife, cut our first watermelon, hand us both a big piece and sit down next to us. Then we'd bury our faces in watermelon, eating only the heart—the reddest, juiciest, firmest, sweetest, most seed-free part—and throw away the rest. Bernie was my father's idea of a rich man. I always thought it was because he was such a successful businessman. Years later, I realized that it was not Bernie's wealth itself but his way of dealing with it that my father liked. Bernie knew how to stop working, get together with friends and eat only the heart of the watermelon.What I learned from Bernie is that being rich is a state of mind. Some of us, no matter how much money we have, will never be free enough to eat only the heart of the watermelon. If you don't take the time to dangle your feet over the dock and enjoy life's small pleasure, your work is probably hurting your life.For many years, I forgot that lesson I'd learned as a kid on the loading dock. I was too busy making all the money I could.Well, I've relearned it. I hope I have time left to enjoy the success of others and to take pleasure in the day. That's the heart of the watermelon. I have learned again to throw the rest away.1. We learned from the second paragraph that the writer and his father were feeling______. A. relaxed B. worriedC. hungryD. proud2. How did the writer and his father eat the watermelon? A. They ate it in a polite way. B. They only ate its best part. C. They ate every part of it.D. They shared only one piece.3. In the eyes of the writer's father, Bernie ______.A. was just a rich businessmanB. worked hard all the timeC. lived a rich but healthy lifeD. knew how to make money4. The underlined part “the heart of the watermelon” in the last paragraph refers to______.A. the best part of the watermelonB. the writer's busy lifeC. the writer's decision of making moneyD. the writer's hope of enjoying life5. It can be learned from the passage that ______. A. one has to work hard to reach his goal B. a friend in need is a friend in deed C. watermelon is the healthiest fruitD. one should keep work-life balance答案：ABCDD3Hundreds of years ago，a Roman army came north from England to make war on Scotland. The Scots，a brave people，loved their country very much. They fought hard to drive the enemy out of Scotland，but there were too many Romans. It looked as if the Romans would win.One night，the leader of Scots marched his soldiers to the top of a hill. “We will rest here tonight，my men,”he said. “Tomorrow we will fight one more battle. We must win or we will die.”They were all very tired，so they ate their supper quickly and fell asleep. There were four guards on duty，but they，too，were very tired，and one by one，also fell asleep. The Romans were not asleep. Quickly they gathered at the foot of the hill. Slowly they climbed up the hillside，taking care not to make a sound. Closer and closer they came to the sleeping Scots. They were almost at the top. A few minutes more，the war would be over. Suddenly，one of them put his foot on a thistle(蓟). He cried out and his sudden cry woke the Scots. In a moment，they were on their feet and ready for battle. The fighting was hard but it did not last long. The Scots wiped out the Romans and saved their country.The thistle is not a beautiful plant. It has sharp needles all over it. Few people like it.But the people of Scotland liked it so much that they made it their national flower.1. Hundreds of years ago there was a war between ________.A.

Of course it was a good place for training the new soldiers. But it was difficult for the young men to go outside. Mr White, an officer of forty, was strict with them and he hardly let them leave the camp.Once Mr White was ill in bed. He couldn't work and a young officer, Mr Hunt began to train the new soldiers instead of him. He knew the young men well and let nine soldiers go to the nearest town to have a holiday. But night fell and none came back to the camp. He was worried about it and stood at the gate. It was five to twelve when Mr Hunt decided to go to the town and see what was happening to the young men. He started the car quickly and set off. At that moment the nine soldiers came back. It seemed they drank wine. Of course they found the officer was angry.“I'm sorry, sir,” said the first soldier. “I left the town on time. But something was wrongwith my bus on my way here. I had to buy a horse and made it run fast. Bad luck! It died and I had to run back.”And the other seven soldiers said they were late for the same reasons. It was the last soldier's turn. He said, “I'm sorry, sir. I got on a bus on time, but…”Having heard this, the officer became even angrier and stopped him at once.

Onenight, while the man was at work, he realized that he had extra(额外的) work to do for the evening, and that he wouldn't be able to play with his son. But, he wanted to be able to give the boy something to keep him busy. Looking around his office, he saw a magazine with a large map of the world on the cover. He got an idea. He removed the map, and then patiently(耐心地) tore (撕) it up into small pieces. Then he put all the pieces in his coat pocket.When he got home, his son wanted to play with him, but he spread (铺) all the pieces of the map on the table. He explained that it was a map of the world, and that by the time his son could put it back together, his extra work would be finished, and they could both play. Surely this would keep the child busy for hours, he thought.About half an hour later the boy came to the man and said, “OK, it's finished. Can we playnow?” The man was surprised, saying, “That's impossible. Let's go and see.” And sure enough, there was the picture of the world, all put together, every piece in its place. The man said, “That's amazing! How did you do that?” The boy said, “It was simple. On the back of the page was a picture of a man. When I put the man together, the whole world fell into place.”1.

He held up a glass of water and asked the class, How heavy do you think this glass of water is?The students' answers ranged from 20 g to 500 g. It does not matter on the weight itself. It depends on how long you hold it. If I hold it for a minute, it is OK. If I hold it for an hour, I will have an ache in my right arm. If I hold it for a day, you will have to call an ambulance (救护车). It is exactly the same weight, but the longer I hold it, the heavier it becomes.If we carry our burdens (负担) all the time, sooner or later, we will not be able to carry on, the burden becoming increasingly heavier.What you have to do is to put the glass down, rest for a while before holding it up again.

There are only a few men in all of history, who have changed the lives of other men as much as the inventor of the first useful electric light. But Edison could never be pleased onlybecause someone said he was a genius. “There is no such thing as genius,” Edison said. He thought what people called genius was mostly hard work.But Edison was a dreamer as well as a worker. From his earliest days as a child he wondered about the secrets of nature. He tried to understand them, and then he tried to learn what he could usefully do with them.Edison enjoyed thinking. He knew that most people would do almost anything instead of the difficult work of thinking, especially if they do not think very often. But he knew, too, that thinking could give men enjoyment and pleasure.Edison could not understand how anyone could not be interested in life. As he loved to think, he also loved to work. On the day he became 75 years old, someone asked him what idea he had about life. “Work,” he answered, “Discovering the secrets of nature and using them to make men happier.” He said he had enough inventions in his mind to give him another 100 years of work.1.According to Thomas Edison, what's genius?A.Hard thinking.B.Hard work.eful dreams.eful inventions.2.After exploring the secrets of nature, Edison always tried to .A.write down what he had learntB.carry out a new experimentC.make them useful in lifeD.share them with others3.Edison could not understand .

Standing by her chair, looking at the ink bottle, pens, and white paper, I decided that the act of writing must be the more wonderful thing in the world. Years later, during her final illness, mother kept different things for my sister and brother. “But the desk,” she'd said again, “it's for Elizabeth. ”I never saw her get angry, never saw her cry. I knew she loved me; she showed it in action. But as a young girl, I wanted heart-to-heart talks between mother and daughter. They never happened. And a gulf opened between us. I was “too emotional(易动感情的)”. But she lived “on the surface(表面)”.As years passed I had my own family. I loved my mother and thanked her for our happy family. I wrote to her in careful words and asked her to let me know in any wayshe chose that she did forgive(原谅) me.I posted the letter and waited for her answer. None came.My hope turned to disappointment(失望), then little interest and, finally, peace— it seemed that nothing happened. I couldn't be sure that the letter had even got to mother. I only knew that I had written it, and I could stop trying to make her into someone she was not.Now the present of her desk told, as she'd never been able to, that she was pleased that writing was my chosen work. I cleaned the desk carefully and found some papers inside —a photo of my father and a one-page letter, folded(折叠) and refolded many times. Give me an answer, my letter asks, in any way you choose. Mother, you always chose the act that speaks louder than words.1.

What did mother do with her daughter's letter asking forgiveness?A. She had never received the letter.B. For years, she often talked about the letter.C. She didn't forgive her daughter at all in all her life.D. She read the letter again and again till she died.5. What's the best title of the passage?A. My letter to MotherB. Mother and ChildrenC. My mother's DeskD. Talks between Mother and Me答案：CABDC10A friend of mine named Paul received an expensive car from his brother as a Christmas present. On Christmas Eve when Paul came out of his office, a street urchin(顽童) was walking around the shining car. “Is this your car, sir?” he asked.Paul answered, “Yes, my brother gave it to me for Christmas.” The boy was surprised. “You mean your brother gave it to you and it did cost you nothing? Sir, I wish…” He hesitated(犹豫). Paul thought of course he knew what the boy wanted, but what the boy said surprised him greatly. “I wish,” the boy went on, “that I could be a brother like that.” Paul looked atthe boy in surprise, and then he said again, “Would you like to take a ride in my car?” “Oh yes, I'd love to,” the boy answered.After a short ride, the boy turned and with his eyes shining, said, “Sir, would you minddriving in front of my house?”Paul smiled a little. He thought he knew what the boy wanted. He wanted to show his neighbors that he could ride home in a big car. But Paul was wrong again. “Will you stop where those two steps are?” the boy asked.He ran up to the steps. Then in a short while Paul heard him coming back, but he was not coming fast. He was carrying his little crippled(残疾的) brother. He sat down on the step and pointed to the car.“There he is, Buddy, just like I told you upstairs. His brother gave it to him for Christmas and it didn't cost him a cent. And some day I'm going to give you one just like it…then you can see for yourself all the nice things in the Christmas windows that I've been trying to tell you about.”Paul got out and lifted the boy to the front seat of his car.

Only a very expensive operation could save him now and there was no one to lend them the money.When she heard her daddy say to her tearful mother, “Only a miracle can save him now,” the little girl went to her bedroom and pulled her money from its hiding place and counted it carefully.She hurried to a drugstore (药店) with the money in her hand.“And what do you want?” asked the salesman. “It's for my little brother,” the girl answered. “He's really, really sick and I want to buy a miracle.” “Pardon?” said thesalesman.“My brother Andrew has something bad growing inside his head and my daddy says only a miracle can save him. So how much does a miracle cost?” “We don't sell a miracle here, child. I'm sorry,” the salesman said with a smile.“Listen, if it isn't enough, I can try and get some more. Just tell me how much it costs.”A well-dressed man heard it and asked, “What kind of a miracle does your brother need?”“I don't know,” she answered with her eyes full of tears. “He's really sick and mum says he needs an operation. But my daddy can't pay for it, so I have brought all my money.” “How much do you have?” asked the man. “$ 1.11, but I can try and get some more,” she answered.“Well, what luck,” smiled the man. “$ 1.11, the price of a miracle for little brothers.” He took up the girl's hand and said, “Take me to where you live. I want to see your brother and meet your parents. Let's see if I have the kind of miracle you need.”That well-dressed man was Dr Carlton Armstrong, a famous doctor.

2020年中考英语阅读理解专题练习(含答案)

2020中考英语大阅读组合练有答案一、阅读理解AGetting electricity has always been a problem for the 173 people living in Nuevo Saposoa, a small village in Peru, South America. However, things went from bad to worse in March 2015 after heavy rain damaged the only power cables in the area. The villagers were forced to use oil lamps, which are not only expensive but also dangerous because of the harmful gases they produce.Luckily, according to the researchers at the University of Technology (UT) in Lima, Peru heard about their problem and found a wonderful solution. They made a lamp that can be powered by plants and soil, both of which can be easily found in the Amazonian rainforest where the village lies. The lamp takes energy from a plant growing in a wooden box and uses it to light up an LED light bulb.While that may sound amazing and even impossible, the science behind the idea is quite simple. As plants create their food (using the sun's energy, water and chemicals from the soil), they also produce waste which they return to the soil. Tiny animals in the soil eat this waste and they produce electrons — the building blocks of electrical energy. The UT team put special sticks inside the soil to capture the energy and keep it in the lamp's batteries for later use. The researchers say a single charge can power a 50－watt LED light for two hours — enough time for local villagers to get their evening work done.The university gave ten Plant Lamps to the villagers of Nuevo Saposoa in October 2015. So far, they have been a huge success! Elmer Ramirez, the UT professor who invented the lamp, believes the Plant Lamp could help improve the lives of many people, especially small rainforest communities, 42% of whom have no electricity.()1、What are the problems of oil lamps according to Paragraph 1?A. They are difficult to use and create pollution.B. They are expensive to buy and easily damaged.C. They are difficult to repair and produce little light.D. They are expensive to use and can be bad for health.()2、The underlined word “cables” means “______”in Chinese.A. 电报B．电缆C. 电话D. 网线()3、What is true about the Plant Lamp?A. It can be made by local people.B. It is much easier to use than oil lamps.C. It can produce all the electricity the villagers need.D. The things it needs to make electricity are easy to find.()4、The Plant Lamp's inventor believes it could be the most helpful for ______.A. small rainforest communitiesB. carsC. poor people in citiesD. farmers()15、What is the purpose of the passage?A. To report on a new invention.B. To explain a new scientific theory.C. To describe how electricity is made.D. To discuss the problems of poor villages. B（民族风情及节日文化）We never had children of our own—just The White Prince—and I can tell you，he was enough of a family for anyone. He walked freely in the park just as we had planned he would，and ran after the deer and the rabbits whenever he felt like it: but he never did learn how to kill for himself. You can't teach old lions new tricks. He lived on deer mostly，and slept on a sofa in our living room—I wouldn't have him inside our bedroom，no matter(无论) how often Bertie asked. You know，I have to draw the line somewhere.Bertie's leg was never cured. When it was bad，he often needed a stick，or me，or the lion to lean on. It pained him a lot，especially on cold and wet days，and he never slept well. On Sundays the three of us would walk around the park together，and Bertie would sit on the top of Wood Hill with his arm around the lion's neck and I would fly kites. You know，I've always loved kites. And the lion liked to break them into pieces.The lion never showed any interest in running away，and even if he'd wanted to，the park wall was too high for an old lion to jump over. Wherever Bertie went，he wanted to go too. And if ever Bertie went out in the car，then he'd sit by me in the kitchen，and watch me with those great amber eyes，listening all the while for the sound of Bertie's car coming up the path to the front of the house.The lion was getting older. And he became weak in his legs and could see very little. He spent his last days sleeping at Bertie's feet. When he died，we buried(埋葬) him at the bottom of the hill. Bertie wanted it that way so he could always see the place from the kitchen window. I suggested Bertie plant a tree in case(以防) he forgot where the lion was. “I will，but he should get more than a tree，” Bertie said.Bertie was sad for weeks，months after the lion died. There was nothing I could do to cheer him or even comfort him. He would sit for hours in his room，or go off on long walks by himself. He seemed so shut away inside himself，so distant(遥远的). Try as I did，I could not reach him.…(Adapted from The Butterfly Lion)( )1. What did Bertie's wife mean by saying “I have to draw the line somewhere”？A. She would like the lion to sit by her.B. She didn't except Bertie to keep the lion.C. She didn't allow the lion to go into the bedroom.D. She wanted to stop the lion walking freely in the park.( )2. Which description about the lion is TRUE according to the story?A. He seldom broke kites into pieces.B. He could jump over the park wall.C. He became weak in his legs and eyes.D. He could kill deer or rabbits for himself.( )3. What can be inferred(推断) from the story?A. Bertie's leg was badly hurt by the lion.B. The lion wanted to leave Bertie's family.C. Bertie's wife would plant a tree for the lion.D. Bertie loved the lion more than his wife did.( )4. The story is mainly about ________.A.

Recreation(娱乐)2People say that “travel is the best teacher”and there is no better example of this idea than the Ming Dynasty travel writer and geographer Xu Xiake (1587—1641). His book The Travel Notes of Xu Xiake, not only encouraged a love of travelling among Chinese people but provided important scientific information about the country s land and geography.Born into a wealthy Jiangyin family, Xu became interested in books about different places at an early age. When he was 18, however，Xu's father died. He now was responsible for the family farm and taking care of his 60-year-old mother as tradition required. But his mother refused to keep him at home. She agreed that Xu could travel for three months every year, when there was less farm work. So at the age of twenty and with his mother's support, Xu set off for the first time. Then he travelled for the next 30 years.During his travel, he carefully studied the lands he passed through and recorded his experiences in a diary. This diary, which once had over 500,000 words, would eventually become The Travel Notes of Xu Xiake. Although rich, Xu avoided comfortable travel, preferring to go almost everywhere on foot. This way he could research the environment in detail and get a true picture of the natural world.Sadly Xu became seriously ill during his last and longest journey. He died in 1641, soon after returning to his hometown for the last time. His diary was finally printed years after his death.()1. What is the passage mainly about?A.

It allowed him to see and study the environment in detail.D. It was the only way to reach the places he was interested in.()4. What is true about Xu s book The Travel Notes of Xu Xiake?A. It was only made public after Xu died.B. It made Xu very famous during his lifetime.C. It was the first travel book ever written in China.D. It was mainly about the different people of China.()5. What is the correct order for the following events from Xu's life?a. He went on his first journey.b. His book was finally printed.c. He returned to his hometown for the last time.d.

He started managing the family farm after his father died.A. a-e-d-c-bB. d-e-a-c-bC. d-e-a-b-cD. e-d-a-b-c3For many Chinese families, rice is an important part of almost every meal. Where does rice come from? Yuan Longping and his team work to grow rice on the farmland.Food was a big problem in China in the past. This is because China had 22% of the world's population, but only 7% of its farmland. In the 1960s, China suffered (遭受) a serious famine. Millions of people died because they had no food. As an agronomy (农学)teacher, Yuan was very sad to see this. “How can I help them have enough food?” he thought. He decided to work on a kind of hybrid rice (杂交水稻). It has high output.At that time, other scientists didn t think hybrid rice had much value. But Yuan and his team worked on it every day. They took very good care of their rice seeds.At last, in 1973, they grew a new type of hybrid rice. This rice is strong. Farmers can grow it in many different kinds of farmland and also in bad weather. It can fight disease, too. Its output is much greater than common kinds of rice. With the new type, about 70,000,000 people could have food every year!Y uan solved the food problem in China. But he is still working on rice. Before he retires, he hopes to grow rice in the sea!()1.

Many pieces of pottery in different sizes were shown at the school. Some were a bit broken, but all of them were beautiful works of art created by the students.At the end of last year, the school started a project that called on teachers to collect disused pieces of pottery which people don't want them anymore or broken pieces of pottery from the countryside. So far, they have collected about 3,000 pieces.“Pottery used to play an important role in the daily lives of Chinese people.” school head Ma Guoxin told the reporter. “By pottery painting, the students can improve themselves in many ways. They can better understand the history of the pottery, put their creativity into the pottery and show the love for life and beauty.”Students turned the pottery into different works of art. They were all encouraged to paint pictures on the pottery, even though some students didn't know how to paint. Wang Zixuan, a student from Grade Eight, with little knowledge of painting, painted a beautiful night scenery on a piece of pottery. It was so nice that many students loved it.Almost every classroom has colored pieces of pottery. They are either used as flowerpots or pen containers (笔筒). The school has also set up several art corners to show the pottery. For example, the students have put some pottery on bookcases outside of a lecture hall(报告厅). It has become an enjoyable place for students to rest and read.()1. The school started the project of the pottery ________.A. at the beginning of 2018B. at the end of 2018C. at the beginning of 2019D. at the end of 2019()2.

According to the passage, which of the following is TRUE?A. The school has collected about 2,000 pieces of pottery so far.B. Wang Zixuan was a student from Grade Seven.C. We can't find any colored pottery in their classrooms.D. The students enjoy resting and reading at the art corners.()5. In which part of a newspaper can we read the passage?A. Sports news.B. Traditional art.C. Healthy living.D. Popular music.6Some researchers explain how most people form their social groups with people of their age. Especially, as children and teenagers, even adults, people make their friends basedon distance more than anything else. Even in a classroom, the students may not make friends with those who have similar personalities(性格) and interests. It's the people they really sit next to. Clearly, who stands nearest to you has the greatest influence on you.Over the past ten months, I've paid Ryan, a famous writer of several bestselling books, to help me with the book I'm writing. Working with him has shown me just how low my standards for my work are. For example, every time I send him a draft(草稿), he shows me how it could be much better, and he holds me to that standard.It's not that my working ability was born low. It's because that I don't know what I don't know. Working with Ryan has made me realize what is possible and what it takes to create something powerful.Like Ryan, my business partner Richard has wonderful ideas and far different experience than I have. He has written 36 New York Times Bestsellers. Richard always performs at high levels, and he is also very strict with me because my performance is a reflection(反映) on him. It's not a bad thing because it creates high pressure to help me make great progress and push me to learn more.In a word, you need to stay with those people who can help you realize your level and potential(潜力). Staying with people who have higher standards is the fastest way for you to change. If you don't change your environment, your progress will be very slow. Who you stay with has huge importance.()1. The students are more likely to make friends with ________.A. the people who have similar personalitiesB. the people who have the same interestsC. the people who sit next to themD. the people who have the same hobbies()2.

It was free for Ryan to help the writer with the book.B. The writer's working ability was born low.C. Richard has wonderful ideas and the same experience with the writer.D. Staying with those who have higher standards can help us make great progress.()4. The writer mainly wants to tell us that ________.A. we can improve our working abilities by ourselvesB. we must pay attention to our talent and potentialC. we'd better make friends with those who can hold us to higher levelsD. we should stay with those who have similar personalities and interests()5. Where does the passage probably come from?A. A magazine.B. A travel guide.C. A storybook.D. A cooking instruction.7For his eleventh birthday, Lin was given a gift that would change his life. On that day his father took him to the Children's Activity Centre and said he could choose any course that interested him. There was just one requirement (要求): Lin have to promise to study it for at least one year.Lin used to have many hobbies, but he never kept his interest for more than a week or two.Lin looked at all the courses on offer. He stopped at “Photography”. He liked the idea of taking beautiful pictures but the notice said that each student needed their own camera. But a camera cost a lot of money. He continued looking.Then the next course caught his eyes. “Cooking” sounded like something he'd like to do. It was inexpensive and convenient, it could be done alone and it was also creative.His dad had doubts, but he agreed. To his parents' surprise, Lin kept his promise. He studied cooking at the Centre every Saturday, and practised at home, making delicious meals for his family. Everyone looked forward to birthdays, when they could eat his cakes. Lin got greatsatisfaction from the pleasure his food brought to others.The months turned to years but his hobby never changed again.Now Lin is an adult and runs a successful restaurant.()1.

The Fun of CookingD. The Birthday Gift8David walked down the street. All he wanted to do was to play basketball with Jim. But his mother told him to return his sister's books to the library on his way to Jim's house.In his eyes, books and summertime just don't go together. He thought he had read a lot during the school year. And he had never set foot inside a public library. Today he'd just drop the books off in the outside return box, but it was locked. He had to go inside to return them.David walked inside the building a few minutes before closing time. He put the books into the return box. After a quick drink of water and a short stop in the toilet, he'd be on his way to meet Jim. He walked out of the toilet. The library lights were turned off. He was locked—in a library!David tried to use the telephone, but he couldn't find one. As the sun began to set, he searched for a light and found a little one on a desk. He used a pencil to write a note on a big piece of paper. It read, “I'm locked inside. Please call for help.” He put it on the front door. Surely, someone passing by would see it. He then turned his attention to the library itself.He was surprised to discover that this place was not so bad. Rows and rows of books! When he saw a book about Michael Jordan on the desk, he picked it up. He opened the book and began to read. He felt that being locked in the library didn't seem to be such a terrible thing.()1. David's mother wanted him to ________.A. play basketball with JimB. take a walk in the streetC. read books in the libraryD. return his sister's books()2. David thought he had read a lot during ________.A. a visit to Jim'sB. the school yearC. the closing timeD. the summertime()3. David went inside the building because ________.A. the sun began to setB. he wanted to use the telephoneC. he needed to go to the toiletD. the outside return box was locked()4. Which of the following is true about the library EXCEPT ________.A. the library is open during summertimeB. there is a return box in the library for people to return booksC. there are very few books in the libraryD. the library is on the way to Jim’s house()5. David discovered that ________ after he was locked in the library.A. he was very afraid of the darkB. he became interested in this placeC. his mom was worried about himD. his friend became nervous about him9Is there a connection between music and language?According to recent studies, the answer is yes: Music improves certain language abilities in the brain. Here, let's look at two examples.A recent study by researcher Kraus shows that playing a musical instrument can improve a person’s hearing ability. In his study, two groups of people listened to a person talking in a noisy room.The people in the first group were musicians, while those in the second group had no musical training. The musicians were able to hear the talking person more clearly. Musicians hear better because they learn to pay attention to certain sounds. Think about violinists in an orchestra. When the violinists play with the group, they hear their own instrument and many others, too. But the violinists must listen closely to what they are playing, and pay no attention to the other sounds. In this way, musicians are able to focus on certain sounds, even in a room with lots of noise.Schlaug, a doctor at Harvard Medical School, works with stroke (中风) patients. Because of their illness, these people cannot say their names, addresses, or other information normally. However, they can still sing. Schlaug was surprised to find that singing words helped his patients to speak. Why does this work? Schlaug isn't sure. Music seems to make different parts of the brain work, including the broken parts. This might help patients to use that part of the brain again. Music improves attention, memory, listening skills, and our overall language abilities. It can even help sick people get better.Playing an instrument or singing can help us do better in school and keep our brain sharp (敏锐的) as we get older. Music is not only enjoyable, it's also good for us in many other ways.()1. ________ ability can be improved according to Kraus's recent study.A. SpeakingB. HearingC. TeachingD. Singing()2. The example of the violinists is shown to tell us that ________.A. violinists always focus on what they are playingB. speaking is more important than hearingC. music teaches the violinist how to singD. playing an instrument can help us be a better man()3. The underlined word “orchestra”means ______.A. 摇滚乐队B. 交响乐团C. 音乐俱乐部D. 故事会()4. Which of the following is TRUE?A. Music can't make different brain parts work.B. Music can never help sick people get better.C. Playing an instrument can help us do better in study.D. Singing words helped patients to dance.()5. The best title for this passage would be ________.A. The Meaning of MusicB. The Love for Music InstrumentC. Music can Make a DifferenceD. Music and Noise10()1. The fairs and festivals take place in ________.A. the USAB. ChinaC. BritainD. Italy()2. If you want to play with animals in June, you may go to________.A. Dragon Boat FestivalB. Kids' FairC. Fruit FestivalD. Fun Fair()3.

The purpose of the passage is ________.A. giving introductions of companiesB. providing information on activitiesC. offering information for job huntingD. helping schools to organize fairs11During the summer holiday, some students might have been busy with traveling, summer camps and all kinds of courses. But a special group of Chinese middle school students decided to taste the hardship of life outside school.Twelve students in a big city sold vegetables at a local market together. Within 12 days, they made more than 1,500 yuan. Among them, the oldest is 21 years old, while the youngest is just 10. They are all cousins in a big family and eight of them are from rural areas.“Compared to traveling, such social practice connects us and makes us learn how tough our parents are,” said Dalin,18, to the City Morning Post. Dalin, a senior high graduate, and her 12-year-old brother Xiaolin came up with the idea.They learned to work hard to sell their veggies. Every morning they had to wake up at 3 o'clock. Some of them went to the farmer's market to buy vegetables. Some of them went to the local market to take up a temporary stall (临时摊位). To lower the cost, they learned to bargain (讲价)with the sellers.At about 6:30 am, they began to sell vegetables. They peddled (吆喝) loudly to attract(吸引)customers. After several days, they got some experience, too.For example, it was better to put vegetables in order and bigger ones on top. When the vegetables are too heavy, they should give customers an extra plastic bag.When they finally packed up and went home, they had a small meeting. Everyone took notes and shared their feelings.“We are tired,” said Dalin, “but we gained a lot.”()1. In the writer's opinion, the 12 students' action was ________.A. popularB. encouragingC. strangeD. embarrassing()2. The cousins decided to sell vegetables at a market to ________.A. show how able they wereB. have less hardship of lifeC. learn how hard their parents workD. prepare for their future traveling()3. They bargained with the sellers to ________.A. cut down the costB. share their feelingsC. get bigger vegetablesD. attract more customers()4. It's clear that ________.A. they took up the temporary stall in turnB. they gave each customer an extra plastic bagC. Dalin and Xiaolin got the idea of selling vegetablesD. the elder sold vegetables when the younger took notes()5. The best tile of the story should be ________.A. Summer CoursesB. Family BusinessC. Students Learn from BargainsD. Cousins Work with Vegetables12Buying Is Doing?How important is shopping to you? How much time do you spend buying things? And how much time do you spend organizing these things in your home? In the future, how much time will you spend in movie theaters, at amusement parks, at shopping malls, or at convenience stores? When you add it all up, you will probably see you spend a lot of your life consuming(消费)things. Consuming products is not necessarily bad. However, if we spend too much time doing it, we should look at it carefully.Imagine that you have a week off from school. You don't have to go to class. However, in this week, you cannot spend any money—no shopping, no movies, no eating out. How would you spend your time?What things would bring you happiness? Perhaps you would take a walk with your best friend. Perhaps you would help a child read. Or you might spend time with your family.When we look back, it is likely that non-consuming experiences like these will be our most important memories. Why? Non-consuming activities are active, not passive. They don't come in a package. You make the experience yourself. For example, when you have a conversation with a friend, you are actively creating an experience. The conversation that you have with your friend cannot be experienced or recreated by anyone else. However, if you watch a movie with a friend, you will each have a package experience. It requires no action and little interaction between the two of you.The environment we live in encourages us to have packaged experiences. We feel that we must consume because we believe that buying is doing. However, we can start a personal revolution (变革) against consumerism. How? By consuming less. We can ask ourselves what experiences bring us the greatest satisfaction. Then we can organize our lives so that we have more of those kinds of experiences.()1. If consuming products takes too much time, we should ________.A. spend less moneyB. think about it carefullyC. organize our thingsD. go to convenience stores()2. The Chinese meaning of “passive”in the fourth paragraph is ________.A. 主动的B. 快乐的C. 消极的D. 盲目的()3. The underlined word “It”in Paragraph 4 is about ________.A. shoppingB. reading a bookC. talking with friendsD. watching a movie()4. According to the passage, the writer believes that ________.A. we can say no to consumerism by consuming lessB. buying things can bring us the greatest satisfactionC. the environment seldom influences our shopping choicesD. consuming experiences will be our most important memories ()5. What is the writer's main purpose in writing this passage?A. To introduce some ways of enjoying our spare time.B. To encourage people to have more active experiences.C. To explain reasons behind people's shopping behavior.D. To share his personal experience in consuming products.11-5CDCAB21-5ADCAB31-5CCBDB41-5BBCAD51-5BCADB61-5CBDCA71-5AABAD81-5DBDCB91-5BABCC101-5ADBDB 111-5BCACD 121-5BCDAB。

materials to make the mainspring（钟表的主发条）？He soon found he could make it with whalebone（鲸骨）．He then made a wooden clock which kept good time．His motto（座右铭）was"I will think of it．"And he made his thoughts useful to himself and the world．Boys and girls，when you have a difficult lesson to learn，don't lose heart，and don't ask someone for help before helping yourselves．Think，and by thinking you

comes，instead of lifting our chopsticks，we take out our mobiles and click．Later，we post the photos onto Weibo or Wechat，waiting to be"liked"．Then we check our mobiles from time to time during the meal，to see whether we get"liked"or not．We just cannot leave our mobiles for only a meal．Does that sound familiar to you？Do you do that often？If not，how do you feel when others do that when having dinner with you？A recent study suggests that what we are used to doing is not so good．Spending time taking photos of food makes the food less pleasant．To test this，some researchers did an experiment．Some people were asked to take photos before they could enjoy food．As a result，it showed that the more photos they took，．So，why not stop taking photos and just enjoy the food in front of you？Besides the scientific result，there are also some other bad influences of taking photos of food before meals．After posting the photos onto the Internet，one will not be able to control himself and check his mobile many times．"Does everyone like my photos？I hope a lot of people like them!"It seems that your mobile secretly calls your name all the time，even when you are with real people．So，next time you go out to have dinner with your family or friends，how about not taking photos of food？Let the food be delicious as it is and share your life with people around you．Trust me，it will be a

food and share them with others．C．Remember to have dinner with our family and friends at home．D．Enjoy the life with people around us instead of taking photos of food．3．Should Children Be Allowed to Get Bored？Children need time to stand and stare．They should be allowed to get bored so that they can develop their ability to be creative．Children are expected by their parents to be reading a textbook all the time．However，research shows that it may hamper the development of their imagination，while boredom can give them opportunities to develop creativity．Boredom is often linked with loneliness，but a writer named Meera Syal said boredom had helped here in developing her mind．She told researchers about her childhood．Having few things to do，Syal often talked with her neighbors．She also tried to do things like learning to bake cakes．"But importantly，I thought and wrote a lot，because I was bored，"Syal said．She kept a diary，filling here time with short stories and poems she made up．Grayson Perry，an artist，grew up in a family with little money．He enjoyed himself by making up stories，drawing pictures for his stories and reading many books in the library．Bored but free，he spent hours looking out of the window，watching the changing clouds and seasons．Perry filled up his free time with what he liked．He became creative，because he could think freely．Dr．Belton is an expert on the effects of emotions on learning．"Boredom could be an uncomfortable feeling，"she said．"But some young people cannot deal with that boredom creatively．So sometimes they may break a classroom window，or drive a car out for a mad race．"Usually，when children have nothing to do，they would turn on the TV，the computer，or the phone．Their time on these things has increased，yet they need to have time to think about their experiences through play or just watching the world around them．It is this kind of thinking that can inspire the imagination．On the other hand，the TV or phone may cut short the thinking process．That can be harmful to the development of creativity．"For developing the ability to be creative，"Dr．Belton advised，"perhaps we need to stand and stare，and stay off﹣line from time to time．" 1．What does the word"hamper"in Paragraph2probably mean？A．Slow down．B．Keep up with．C．Go beyond．D．Give rise to．2．The writer talks about Syal and Perry to．A．stress the great differences between themB．introduce a popular writer and a famous artistC．suggest good ways of going through boredomD．show effects of boredom on developing creativity3．What can we learn from the passage？A．Boredom provides children with space to think freely．B．It's much better for children to be busy than be bored．C．Boredom helps children deal with difficulties properly．D．It's boring for children to think about their experiences．4．I stopped to watch my little daughter busy playing in her room．In one hand was a plastic phone．In the other hand was a toy broom．I listened as she was speaking to her imaginary friend and I'll never forget the words she said，even though it was pretended（假装）．She said，"Surie's in the corner because she's not been very good．She didn't listen to a word I said or do the things she should．"In the corner I saw her baby doll all dressed in pink．It was obvious she'd been put there to sit alone and think．My daughter continued her"conversation"as I sat down on the floor．She said，"I'm all fed up．I just don't know what to do with her anymore．She cries whenever I have to work and wants to play games，too．She never lets me do the things that I just have to do．She tries to help me with the dishes，but her arms just cannot reach and she doesn't know how to fold towels．I don't have the energy to teach．I have a lot of work to do and a big house to keep clean，I don't have the time to sit and play．Don't you know what I mean？"And that day I thought a lot about making some changes in my life，as I listened to her innocent（天真的）words that cut me like a knife．I hadn't been paying enough attention to my most dear．But how my attitude has changed，because，in my heart，I realize I've seen the world in a different light through my little darling's eyes．So，let the cobwebs（蜘蛛网）have the corners and the dust bunny rabbit rule the floor．I'm not going to worry about keeping up with them anymore．I'm going to fill the house with memories of a child and her mother，for we have only one childhood，and we will never get another．1．What does the underlined word"She"in Paragraph3refer to（指的是）？A．The daughter's motherB．Suzie's daughterC．Suzie's baby dollD．The daughter's baby dool2．How did mother feel when she heard the"conversation"？A．WorriedB．DisappointedC．RegretfulD．Sad3．What's the purpose of the story？A．The mother should be angry with her daughterB．The mother should spend enough time with her daughterC．The mother shouldn't change her attitude to her daughterD．The mother shouldn't pay attention to her daughter's words．参考答案与试题解析1．"I will think of it．"It is easy to say this，but do you know what great things have come from thinking？Sir Isaac Newton was sitting in his garden when he saw an apple fall from a tree．He began to think and tried to find out why the apple fell．Then he discovered how the sun，moon，and stars are kept in their places．A boy named James Watt sat quietly by the fire，watching the lid of the kettle move up and down．He wanted to find out why the steam in the kettle moved the lid．From that time he went on thinking and thinking．And when he became a man，he improved the steam engine（蒸汽机）so much that it could easily do the work of many horses．James Ferguson was a poor boy．Once，seeing the inside of a watch，he wondered．"Why should I not make a watch？"But how could he get the materials to make the mainspring（钟表的主发条）？He soon found he could make it with whalebone（鲸骨）．He then made a wooden clock which kept good time．His motto（座右铭）was"I will think of it．"And he made his thoughts useful to himself and the world．Boys and girls，when you have a difficult lesson to learn，don't lose heart，and don't ask someone for help before helping yourselves．Think，and by thinking you will learn how to think to some purpose．21．From the passage，we know that some great things come from D．A．listening B．reading C．speaking D．thinking22．The idea of Isaac Newton's discovery was from A．A．the falling of an apple B．the cleaning of a gardenC．the falling of a tree D．the moving of a lid23．The achievement of James Watt was that he C．A．kept thinkingB．found the steam in the kettleC．improved the steam engine muchD．watched the lid move up and down24．The right order of the following sentences is B．①James Ferguson made a wooden clock．②James Ferguson saw the inside of a watch．③James Ferguson made the mainspring with whalebone．A．③②①B．②③①C．②①③D．③①②25．What is the main idea of the passage？DA．Learn to ask for help．B．A difficult lesson to learn．C．It is easy to say"I will think of it．"D．Think，and by thinking you will learn how to think to some purpose．【分析】本文是一篇夹叙夹议的教育文化类阅读，说明"我将要思考它"说起来容易，真正做起来就能成就很多伟大的事情，文章举例了牛顿发现万有引力，瓦特发明蒸汽机，詹姆斯用鲸骨制作钟表的主发条，并且从此把"我要思考它"作为自己的座右铭．最后发出倡导，当我们遇到困难的时候，不要灰心，在你自己能解决问题之前不要寻求他人的帮助，自己多思考，通过思考你将学会如何去达到一些目的．【解答】21．D细节理解题，根据第一段"It is easy to say this，but do you know what great things have come from thinking？可知，一些伟大的事情来自于思考，所以选D．22．A细节理解题，根据文章第二段，牛顿发现万有引力是根据他看到苹果从树上落下来，他开始思考为什么苹果落下来，到发现万有引力．所以选A23．C细节理解题，从文章From that time he went on thinking and thinking．And when he became a man，he improved the steam engine（蒸汽机）so much that it could easily do the work of many horses．所以瓦特的成就是改善了蒸汽机，所以选C．24．B内容理解排序题，根据文章第四段的内容，当他看到钟表内部的结构，就在想为什么自己不能制作一个手表呢，不久他先用鲸骨做了一个主发条，然后他作了一个木制的闹钟．所以排列顺序是②③①，故选B．25．D考查文章主旨题，根据文章最后一句，Think，and by thinking you will learn how to think to some purpose．可知，文章主要大意就是通过思考，你将会学会怎样达到某个目的．【点评】阅读理解题通常从细节，文章主旨，推测词组大意几个方面考查学生对文章的理解，做题时注意找到文章出处，做到有理有据．2．We can't remember clearly since when we started to take our mobiles to a dinner table．This

have a wonderful life．B．Take photos of delicious food and share them with others．C．Remember to have dinner with our family and friends at home．D．Enjoy the life with people around us instead of taking photos of

can't remember clearly since when we started to take our mobiles to a dinner table．以及整个文章的讲述可知，指的是D的内容；62．B细节理解题．As a result，it showed that the more photos they took，________．从关键词as a result

delicious as it is and share your life with people around you．Trust me，it will be a wonderful time．可知作者的写作目的﹣﹣享受与眼前人一起的生活，而不是饭前拍照．Enjoy the life with people around us instead of taking photos of food．故答案为D．【点评】首先浏览全文，概括主旨大意，理清写作结构，浏览题目，抓住关键词，快速得出答案．3．Should Children Be Allowed to Get Bored？Children need time to stand and stare．They should be allowed to get bored so that they can develop their

deal with difficulties properly．D．It's boring for children to think about their experiences．【分析】应该允许孩子无聊吗？孩子需要时间发呆放空，他们应该被允许感到无聊，那样他们才可以发展创造力．父母期望孩子一直读教科书，然而研究表明，它会妨碍孩子想象力的发展，而无聊可以给他们发展创造力的机会．无聊常与孤独有关，但是一个叫Meera Syal的作家说，无聊对发展她的思想有帮助．她告诉研究者们，她的孩提时代几乎无事可做，她经常与邻居聊天．她也试图去做一些事情，像烤蛋糕．"但是重要地是，我想了很多，写了很多，因为我很无聊．"Syal说．她坚持写日记，用短故事和诗来打发时间．Grayson Perry，一名艺术家，在一个贫穷家庭长大．他通过编故事、为他的故事配图、在图书馆里看书来愉悦自己．无聊但很空闲，他花几个小时眺望窗外，看云彩的变化和季节的变换．Perry用他喜欢的事情来填满他的空闲时间，他变得有创造力，因为他可以自由地思考．Belton博士是一个研究情感对学习的影响的专家．"无聊可能是一种不舒服的感受，"她说，"但是一些年轻人不能创造性地处理那种无聊．"所以有时他们会砸坏教室的窗子或者开快车来发泄．通常，当孩子们没有事可做时，他们会打开电视、电脑或打电话，他们花费在这些事情上的时间增加了，但他们仍需要时间通过玩或者观察周围的世界来考虑他们的感受．这就是那种可以激发他们想象力的思考．另一方面，电视或电话可能会短暂地打断这个思考过程，那对他们创造力的发展会有害．"为了发展创造力，"Belton博士说，"或许我们需要发呆放空，并且不时地远离网络．"【解答】53．A词义猜测题．根据research shows that it may hamper the development of their imagination，while boredom can give them opportunities to develop creativity．可以进行词义猜测，while（然而），表示同一方面两个不同事物的对比，存在相反的情况，根据while boredom can give them opportunities to develop creativity（然而无聊可以给他们开发创造力的机会），可知是就"无聊的影响"这一方面来说的，而且后面说到的是好的影响，可以推测前面说到的是相反的情况﹣﹣不好的影响．BCD选项都有积极的含义，B．Keep up with，和…并驾齐驱；C．Go beyond．超越；D．Give rise to．提升，唯有A选项slow down是"减慢"的意思，有负面的影响，意为"妨碍；牵制，减慢"．故答案为A．54．D推理判断题．根据原文"…Meera Syal said boredom had helped her in developing her mind．"和"He became creative，because he could think freely．"可知作者谈论这两个人是为了表明无聊在发展创造力方面的影响，故选D．55．A主旨大意题．本文主要是说，无聊给孩子提供了自由思考的空间，故选A．【点评】本文主要是说无聊给孩子提供了自由思考的空间，孩子需要发展创造力．题止涉及到词义猜测、推理判断和主旨大意题，要在抓住关键句子的基础上进行合理地分析才能得出正确答案，切记不能乱猜，一定做到有理有据．4．I stopped to watch

2020年中考英语阅读理解专练附答案

阅读理解专练（一）There were many plants in a forest. When spring came, a pine tree saw a red rose nearby and said, "What a beautiful flower! I wish I were that lovely. "The rose proudly said, "It seems that I am the most beautiful flower in this forest. "Then the rose looked at a cactus (仙人掌) and said, "Look at that ugly plant full of thorns（刺）! ""What a proud flower! " thought the trees.As the days passed. the red rose often looked at the cactus and said bad words about it, like "This plant is useless. How sorry I am to be his neighbor ! "The cactus never got angry and even tried to advise the rose, saying, "God did not create any form of life without a purpose. "Spring passed, and the weather became very hot. As there was no rain, the red rose began to wilt（枯萎）.One day the rose saw birds put their beaks (喙) into the cactus and then fly away. The red rose asked the pine tree what the birds were doing. The pine tree explained that the birds were getting water from the cactus."The cactus has water?" asked the rose.Yes, you can also drink some from it. The birds can bring water to you if you ask the cactus for help. "The red rose felt too ashamed to ask for water from the cactus. But finally it did ask for help. The cactus kindly agreed.The rose learned a lesson and never judged (评价) anyone by their appearance again.31. At first, _________ thought the cactus was ugly.A. the roseB. the pine treeC. the birdsD. the thorns32.

If youanswered yes, you should try a new kind of exercise: aquatic (水中的)exercise. Aquatic exercise is like exercise on land, but youdo it in aswimming pool. More and more people are trying aquatic exercise.Aquatic exercise feels easier than exercising on land. Why? You weighabout 90% less in thepool. It is better for your knees than running orwalking. Water is about 1, 000 times thicker andheavier than air. To movethrough the water, your body has to work four times as hard. As a result,youcan burn more calories (卡路里).In fact, most people say they feel more relaxed in the water. They stopthinking about the things that make them worried. They feel in controlof their bodies. The cool, quiet environment makes themfeel good.But what if you are afraid of the water? No problem! There is nothingto worry about. Aquaticexercise is safe and easy to learn. It doesn'trequire any special skills. You don't even need to knowhow to swim. Aquaticexercise is for everyone.75. What is Paragraph 2 mainly about?A. Difference between air and water.B. Weight change ofone'sbody.C. The advantages of aquatic exercise.D. The ways to do aquaticexercise.76. What do most people think of aquatic exercise?A. Relaxing.B.

In which part of a magazine can we read the text?A. Culture.B. Health.C. Nature.D.Travel.（三）Sometimes it seems that time is flying. Perhaps it doesn’t need to feelthis way. Our experience of time can be possibly changed. By understandingthe psychological(心理学的) processes behind our different experiencesof time, we might be able to slow down time a little.One basic law of psychological time is that time seems to slow down whenwe’re exposed(接触) to new environments and experiences. The law iscaused by the relationship between our experience of time and the amountof information our minds process. The more information our minds take in,the slower time seems to pass.It follows, then, that we have different experiences of time in different situations. In some situations, our life is full of new experiences. Our minds process a lot of information and time seems to slow down. In other situations, we have fewer new experiences and the world around us becomes more and more familiar(熟悉的). We become insensitive to our experience, which means we process less information, and time seems to speed up. How can we slow down time? Here are two suggestions.Firstly, since we know that familiarity makes time pass faster, we can expose ourselves to as many new experiences as possible. We can give ourselves new challenges, meet new people, and expose our minds to new information, hobbies and skills. This will increase the amount of information our minds process and expand(增加) our experience of time. Secondly, and perhaps most effectively, we can give our whole attention to an experience-to what we are seeing, feeling, tasting, smelling or hearing. This means living through our senses rather than through our thoughts. For example, on the way home, focus your attention outside of yourself, instead of thinking about the problems you have to deal with. Look at the sky, or at the buildings you pass, traveling among them. This open attitude to your experiences helps take in more information and also has a time-expanding effect.To a certain degree, we can understand and control our experience of time passing. It’s possib le for us to slow down time by expanding our experience of time.27. According to the writer, we can expand our experience of time by .A. going to bed on timeB. traveling to new placesC. having dinner as usualD. printing the same materials28. What can we learn from the passage?A. Being familiar with the world around helps us get more information.B. Understanding psychological time makes life pass more quickly.C. We can take in more information by living through our senses.D. We should build a stronger relationship between time and us.29. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?A. Slow Down TimeB. Only Time Will TellC. Race Against TimeD. Time Will Not Comc Twice （四）Have you ever heard the phrase “You never get a second chance to make a first impression (印象)?” It may sound likean unusual piece of advice, but it is true --- the firstimpression someone has of you when meeting you for the firsttime will probably influence how that person treats you orreacts to you in the future.What is even more interesting is that the brain takes inall the information to create that first impression in aboutthree seconds. When you meet someone for the first time, bythe time you have stated you name or shaken hands, the otherperson has already formed an opinion about the kind of personyou are.So how do you make a good first impression? All thingsgrown-ups tell you --- such as being polite, and beingwell-dressed --- are very important. However, the most important tool for making a good first impression is yourface. Smiling, being responsive, and looking like you arehappy will almost always leave a positive ( 积极的) impression on people, especially those who do not know you.Most people, generally speaking, are ready to smile back whenthey are smiled at.Furthermore, smiling and being in a positive mood helpsyou to know and get a better understanding of new things.This means that you can possibly be friendlier to people youdo not know and be more creative and able to solve problemsmore quickly. So if you ever need a reason to be happy, thinkabout the wonderful people you might meet --- and impress--- with a cheerful smile.46.What does the underlined word “react” in Paragr aph 1 probablymean in Chinese?A.回应B. 道歉C. 报告D. 建议47.Which paragraph shows how soon others form opinions on you?A.

2020年中考英语阅读理解专题练习《热点话题》新科技Passage1(2019台州)Brooke wanted a doll house and some sugar cookies. So the 6yearold asked Alexa to get them. Alexa wasn't her mom or babysitter. It was a voiceactivated home assistant powered by AI(人工智能). And it made Brooke's wishes come true. A few days later, much to her parents' surprise, a $170 dollhouse and four pounds of cookies showed up. They ate the cookies and gave away the dollhouse to a local hospital. And that's not the end of the story. When a news reporter told the story of what happened on TV, Alexa devices(设备)in many listeners' homes woke up and tried to order dollhouses!Alexa isn't the only AI willing to serve you. Apple Homepod has Siri, Google Home has its Assistant, and the upcoming Galaxy Home device will have Bixby. People who have these devices use them mainly for listening to music, checking the weather, and setting timers. According to a report from The Information, nowadays voice shopping is rare. But many scientists predict a boom(增长) in voice shopping in the near future. Is that a good thing?________. You can shout out an order as soon as you think of it, even if you are cooking, cleaning, o r driving. In addition, people with disabilities who are unable to use a keyboard or mouse can shop without any help.But voice shopping has its disadvantages. Unwanted dollhouses aren't the biggest problem. It's usually very easy to cancel an order or return products. The thing t hat worries some people is that these assistants are always listening. They have to be able to respond when you want them. So they listen for “Alexa”or “OK Google”or another order. When they hear it, they start recording the conversation. Some have worried about what happens to these recordings. Should companies be allowed to use them to learn about people's shopping habits? And what if someone hacks(入侵) the device? The CIA found a way to hack smart TVs to turn them into spies that listen all the time. Others could do the same with any smart device.What do you think? Are you ready to start voice shopping?( )1.

Scientists believe that we just need to turn on a printer in the kitchens and then we can enjoy our favourite food whenever we like.__②__ 5G network will allow many more people to get information. Big companies like China Mobile and China Unicom will start to offer 5G. It is said that 5G promises download speeds 10 to 20 times faster than 4G. For example, we can download a film within just 1 second. But with a 4G network, it takes a few minutes. There will be much bandwidth(带宽) and we can get unlimited(无限的) information.Underwater cities will provide more space. The earth is becoming more and more crowded. We may turn to underwater homes, which will be built as low as 15 kilometers below the sea. And the different temperatures at the different depths(深度) of the sea can be used to provide power for the homes.__③__ For us common people on the earth, the dream of travelling around space will come true.

It is a term forthe Japanese words for “megaphone”and “translate”，which actually makes a lot of sense because it's a megaphone that can translate Japanese into several other languages in real time. When a user speaks Japanese into the megaphone, it recognizes(辨认) and translates what is being said immediately, and outputs the words in English, Chinese or Korean.It sounds amazing, and seeing it in action is wonderful, but Megahonyaku is not good enough. It cannot translate everything you say, as it only stores 300 common expressions, like “The train has been put off”or “Watch your step”. However, the Japanese company behind Megahonyaku promises to add new expressions regularly, which users can get on the Internet.The machine was designed to be used in places like transport stations, airports and places of interest, where quick and exact announcements are needed most. Around 30 Japanese organizations, including the police and guides, have been trying out Megahonyaku for about one year, but Panasonic says it will come onto the market on December 20th. Instead of selling these speech translators, Panasonic plans on renting(出租) them out for less than $183 a month on a threeyear agreement, and offering users future improvements and necessary services.Panasonic has also said that it may add support for other languages, like Russian, depending on customers' needs. Megahonyaku also includes a touch screen that allows users to choose the language they need their speech translated into.( )1. Panasonic has produced Megahonyaku so that ________.A. guides can translate Chinese into Japanese fasterB. Japanese companies can receive foreigners betterC. foreigners can talk with the Japanese freelyD. the Japanese can learn other languages easily( )2.

It can be learnt from Paragraph 4 that Megahonyaku ________．A. may be popular with the policeB. is widely used in private homesC. will be sold on December 20thD. stores about 30 foreign languages( )4. According to the passage, Panasonic will ________ in the future.A. sell Megahon yaku to foreign visitorsB. bring down the price of MegahonyakuC. change the screen of MegahonyakuD. improve Megahonyaku regularlyPassage4(2019广安)Artificial intelligence(AI)(人工智能) is the ability of a computer program or a machine. The computer or the machine with AI can think and learn. It is also a field of study that tries to make computers “smart”. John McCarthy, a scientist, came up with(提出) the name “artificial intelligence”over 60 years ago. Many things such as learning and problem solving can be done by computers, though not in the same way as people do.An unusual goal of AI research is to create special computer programs. They can learn, solve problems, and think logically(逻辑地). At present, AI can successfully understand human speech, recognize(识别) human faces, operate selfdriving cars and compete in some game systems like playing Chess. However, some people consider(认为) AI a danger to humans if it develops tooquickly. A famous British scientist also was not for this kind of technology.Math is the basic language of AI. If students are good at math, they will be more likely to become successful AI designers(设计者) in the future. We need not only bright students but also average(普通的) students. As for(对于) average students, if they get enough math skills, they can also become successful AI designers. Besides, a good knowledge of computer science is also necessary for AI designing.Scientists hope to create creative(有创造力的) and emotional(有情感的) AI. The AI can possibly understand human feelings or create art. Many ways and tools have been tried to discover this wide and exciting field.( )1. From Paragraph 1, we know that ________．A. all problems can be solved by computersB. machines with AI can think and learnC. AI has been around for only 60 yearsD. AI works in the same way as people( )2.According to the passage, what can't AI do at present?A. Understand human speech.B. Operate selfdriving cars.C. Compete in some game systems.D. Understand human feelings.( )3. The underlined word “it”in Paragraph 2 refers to(指的是)________．A. chessB. a scientistC. the dangerD. AI( )4. According to the passage, if students want to become successful AI designers, they should learn ________ well.A. math and artB. art and technologyC. math and computer scienceD. art and computer science( )5. Paragraph 4 mainly tells us the scientists' ________ about AI.A. wishesB. worriesC. feelingsD. discoveriesPassage5(2019舟山)Fresh green grass. Hundreds of colorful wild flowers. Water running into little pools. Birds making their homes in boxes. The 9，500squaremetre Augustenborg Botanical Garden may look just like any other wellorganized park but there's a difference. It lies on the roofs(屋顶) of industrial and office buildings in the city of Malmö in Sweden.Green roofs are not a new invention. And now they are getting popular again. The common roofs of a modern city have endless black surfaces with no life or water. Perhaps that's why a garden on a roof becomes such a perfect choice for more and more people.Green roofs are not just pretty. They also help to moderate the city temperature. The high temperatures on common roofs in the summer can make top floor flats uncomfortably hot. What is more, they play a part in making the cities hotter than the countryside around them, causing the “urban heatisland effect”. On a green roof, however, with its plants and water, temperatures change only a little, as they do in a park. This can greatly cut the costs of heating and cooling in the building below.Also, a green roof takes in rain water, and protects the city drainage(排水) system. ________And small animals and birds can make their homes on it. Thanks to this, the city may become part of nature, rather than something completely separate from it.While the cost of building such a roof can still be higher, it can be cheaper in the long term as a result of energy savings. And wouldn't it be wonderful to be able to walk out into a garden high above the city's noise and traffic, whether you're at school or in an office or just at home in a ten-floor block?( )1. With the example of Augustenborg Botanical Garden, the writer wants to explain ________．A. how wildlife is protectedB. what a green roof is likeC. how to organize a good parkD. what to do with a spare roof( )2. The underlined word “moderate”in Paragraph 3 is the closest in meaning to “________”．A. raiseB. checkC. recordD. control( )3. Which of the following is the best sentence to fill in the blank in Paragraph 4?A. A green roof is alive.B. A green roof stops pollution.C. A common roof is noisy.D. A common roof increases the cost.( )4. The purpose of the passage is to______．A. discover the problems with green roofsB. introduce the change of green roofsC. show the amazing beauty of green roofsD. describe the advantages of green roofsPassage6(2019烟台)In 1987, a small company named Huawei was started in Shenzhen. After more than 30 years of development, the company has now beaten Apple and become the world's secondlargest maker of smartphones behind Korea's Samsung. It has also become the world's largest supplier(供应商)of 5G.But recently, Huawei faced some difficulties. The U．S. government ordered a ban(禁令)on its sales in America. American officials said Huawei gave information that it collected to the Chinese government. At the same time, the U．S. government planned to stop selling parts and services to Huawei, which was believed that Huawei's business would be hurt.“We have never received such a request from Chinese government and we have never tried to get into other system to collect information.”Ren Zhengfei, Huawei's founder and president said.“The ban from the U．S. would have little effect on our company. Huawei has enough ability to deal with the problems.”Ren added.In an interview several years ago, Ren Zhengfei said, “I started Huawei with only ￡4，000 at the beginning, but now it has become a $100 billion company.The__experience__was__not__as__romantic__(浪漫的)as__you__imagine.”Facing the ban of the U．S., Huawei is growing. Huawei's smartphone sales around the world rose 50 percent compared to a year earlier in the first three months of 2019. At the same time, sales from both Samsung and Apple fell. So far, Huawei has grown into the world's largest telecommunication equipment(电信设备)supplier, selling in 170 countries. It may beat Samsung as the largest smartphone maker in the near future.( )1. Which company is the largest smartphone supplier of 5G in the world?A. Apple.B. Samsung.C. Huawei.D. Nokia.( )2. Why did the U．S. order a ban on Huawei?A.

High school graduates and workers with no special training are encouraged to study in higher vocational colleges. Li said that the number of the new students in higher vocational colleges in China should go up by 1 million this year. This is the first time the central government has a clear plan.This comes after the news of the large shortfall(不足) in highly skilled technicians, although China has millions of technical workers. China is expected to face a shortfall of 3 million skilled workers who can operate the newest machines by 2020. The shortfall will grow to 4.5 million by 2025. Also, vocational education is unsatisfactory(不令人满意的), although there are many vocational colleges in China. In some vocational colleges, the education methods and courses cannot meet the need of upgrading(升级) manufacturing(制造业). As can be seen from the job market, some companies still can't find highly skilled technicians even with high pay.To deal with the problem, some vocational colleges have worked with companies to teach students. They have hired skilled technicians from companies as teachers. With the rising of the skilled workers' social position and pay, it is believed the vocational education system in China will start to play a bigger role in the development of China.( )1. What's the main purpose of the development of modern vocational education in China?A. To train more highly skilled technicians for the job market.B. To help vocational college graduates get higher pay from their work.C. To ask more people to live on themselves with technical skills.D. To encourage more companies to upgrade manufacturing.( )2.

But garlic(大蒜)growers in California are making more money.For many years, sales of garlic in California had been little because of the much cheaper garlic from China. This year, however, California garlic sales are rising because American government increases tariffs(关税)on Chinese products.Christopher, a garlic grower in California, is manager of his company and he said, “In a perfect world, we would love to see the tariffs on China.”Tariffs on Chinese garlic rose from 10% to 25% on May 9, 2019, and the reason is that U．S President Donald Trump increased tariffs on Chinese products worth of $200 billion. Since then, Chinese buyers have almost stopped buying soybeans from the United States and American soybean farmers are now getting worried.Not everyone likes the garlic tariffs in the U．S. Last July Christopher expressed his support on Trump's policy(政策). However, officials from McCormick and Company Inc. didn't agree with the policy. McCormick's CEO, Lawrence told Reuters(路透社)that without Chinese garlic America can't go. Actually, the trade war(贸易战)between China and America is a sign of American hegemony(霸权), and it will destroy American economy and U．S government will lose its trust from other countries in the world.( )1.

It might look like fun, but there are reports that animals are hurt now and again. The World Animal Protection(WAP) says that up to 550，000 wild animals are exposed(暴露) to ill treatment around the world; in Cambodia, for example, it's been reported that elephants have died after carrying tourists for long in hot weather.

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 sixtyfive million. Threequarters 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 don't 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 grow again. 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 onemillion trees which at first grew in Scotland have been plantedand there are plans for more—but wild animals? Some peopleask if wolves will attack sheep or even humans. They are alsoangry 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!( )1. What was the population of the UK thousands of years ago?A. About 25 million.B. Over 65 million.C. More than 61 million.D. Not more than four million.( )2. Why are there fewer birds and small animals in fields in the UK?A. Because more trees have been planted.B. Because there are more large wild animals.C. Because pollution is much worse than before.D. Because people use new methods of farming.( )3. Which paragraph gives opinions from “rewilding”supporters?A. Paragraph 1.B. Paragraph 2.C. Paragraph 3.D. Paragraph 4.( )4. What are some people against?A. Living closer to nature.B. Planting more and more trees.C. Helping large wild animals return.D. Building more villages and towns.( )5. What's the best title for the text?A. Making Britain wild againB. A trip to wild BritainC. An introduction to BritainD. Protecting the environmentComments：Should Museum Entry Be Free?With International Museum Day coming up, today we are asking readers: Should museums be free or should people have to pay for a ticket? Let us know ‘your view’．Museums are not only there for enjoyment; they are education. This is why they must be free. While museums need a huge amount of money to operate, let the wealthy pay for it. The idea of a person or child interested in art not being able to view it because of cost is wrong.Krista Chen (US)Age 15Free entry does not attract people or encourage them to appreciate art. Generally people respect things that are difficult or costly to get Museums should require regular visitors to pay a fee, but provide free tickets as prizes for highachieving students who can appreciate them more.Fred Smith (New Zealand)Age 14Museums teach people about their past. This is part of our shared culture that should be available to everyone, rich or poor. People should never be asked to pay an entrance fee.Rob Sanchez (Australia)Age 17There are no simple answers. Low ticket prices could help museums stay open. But companies and businessmen should also provide museums with more money and other support. They have a social responsibility too.Amber White (UK)Age 16I think museums and art galleries should all be free to the public. I do, however, think twice a year the museums should organize moneyraising events to help pay for the cost of staying open.Li Mishao (China)Age 15(A. 2.B. 3.C. 4.D. 5.( )2.Who suggests museums should regularly hold special events to collect money?A. Krista Chen.B. Fred Smith.C. Rob Sanchez.D. Li Mishao.( )3. Why does Fred Smith believe that free tickets should be given to highachieving students?A. Students will then study harder.B.

Don't wait until you have “enough” money or everything is “just right”. That never happens. Get your passport today.Remember not to argue. It never works, and it only hurts both yourselves and others. You should hug people you love. Tell them how much they mean to you now. Don't wait until it's too late.Be grateful.

As for me, the law of life is that success is a journey, nota destination(目的地). It means that the most important is not where you are in the end, but what you have finishedwhile you are trying along the way.One person who shares my law of life is Mark McGwire, a US baseball player. He once played for St. LouisCardinals. He wasn't caught up in the home-run(全垒打)competition in the 1998 season, but he tried his best toplay every game. And, most of the time, he helped his teammates instead of improving personal performance,because he wanted to make it a good season for the whole team.It doesn't matter whether you have the ability to be on the top in the end or win the championship. All thatmatters is that you work hard the whole time. There are a few people in the world who have already understood thatsuccess is a journey, not a destination. But wouldn't it be a much better world if everyone did? After all, it's notabout who wins or loses, but about how well you play the game. I hope I can apply this to my own life.1.

In the past, it was an important thing that was sold to other countries for many centuries. And it is still a popular thing wherever Chinese silk goes.Silk is smooth, bright, soft and strong. The history of Chinese silk goes back more than 5，000 years. And here is how silk is made and where it is produced.The wife of the Yellow Emperor was having tea under a tree when a silkworm cocoon(蚕茧) fell into her cup. As she watched, a silk could be pulled from the cocoon. Then she realized that the strong silk could be used tomake cloth. She taught her people how to raise silkworms and later invented the loom(织机). Thus, an industry was born.Silk is mainly produced in the south of the Yangtze River Delta. Famous silk producing areas are Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Sichuan. Cities such as Suzhou, Hangzhou, Nanjing, and Shaoxing are well-known for their silk industries. The people living in the areas were the inventors of silk fabric(织物). The history of silk making goes back 6，000 years. The earliest example of silk fabric dates from 3，630 BC in Henan.1.

It is a twinkling(闪烁) effect. Light is “not straight” when it travels through different parts of the earth's atmosphere. As the air in the earth's atmosphere is moving all the time, the light from the stars looks as ifit is moving too.The same thing also happens to things on the ground. On a very hot day, if you look at the road, the things inthe far places are not clear and move slowly. You can also see the same effect if you drop a rock into water. Therock appears a little unclear under the moving water.Scintillation causes a lot of problems for astronomers (天文学家) since they cannot see the stars clearly. Atelescope(望远镜) was sent into space so that the air movements in the atmosphere could be avoided. It took a longtime to build the space telescope but finally in 1990, a huge space telescope called the Hubble Space Telescope was successfully sent into space. Since then, astronomers have many important studies that have helped people understand space better.素材选自满分网1.

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." Mom gave us both a hug and then got back to work.I stood there amazed for a minute. I was sure I would get in trouble. I'm sure it would have been worse if I had lied about it.

The Carltons had spent most of the vacation doing yard work and cleaning house. Mrs. Carlton wanted to do something to thank her children for their help all week.“I’ve got an idea. Let’s go to the museum on Friday,” she suggested to her children. Jess, who loved painting, was excited. Lou wanted to stay home. He couldn’t imaginethe museum being any fun.“Give it a try, Lou. Maybe you’ll be surprised,” said Mrs. Carlton. She thought about how she could make the museum trip an enjoyable time. After looking at the museum’s Web site, she came up with a plan.After they went into the car, Mrs. Carlton handed Jess and Lou an envelope（信封）. “This is your mission.” she said. The boys opened the envelope. A note read, “Help me find the keys to be good at art.”Jess knew a bit about art from his lessons. When they arrived at the museum, they decided to start by looking at the map. This might show them where to find their nextclue(线索).“Here’s a movie that shows how lines are important to painting. It’s on the second floor.” Mrs. Carlton followed the boys as they raced to the movie.The video described how artists used lines to make things on flat(平的) surfaces look three-dimensional（3D）. As the movie came to an end, their mother was gone, but a clue was in her seat. “Good job. Keep your eyes open. You might find flying colors.”The boys looked at each other. Then they passed a room with paintings of flying objects. Next to the last picture in the series, they found another envelope.“Go to the fourth floor, take a left, and see what I mean.”The boys climbed the stairs to the fourth floor. They turned to the left, but they saw only a room full of paintings. As Jess studied the paintings, his mind went to work. He studied the three largest paintings in the room. “I’ve got it! Framing is what an artist uses to make something stand out in a picture.”As they came closer to the three pictures, they saw an envelope on the floor. “You’ve done it! Join me downstairs in the gift shop for a souvenir（纪念品）!When the boys found their mother in the gift shop, they smiled. “That was so great, Mom! You made learning fun. Thanks,” Lou said.( )1.
