A[2016·扬州]Starting a book club is easy—all you need is to love reading. Here's how to get yours off to a flying start.When you set up your book club, the first thing is to get members for your club. They could be friends, family, or those you know through various activities, but they should all love to read. A small group of seven to ten people is usually an ideal size for a book club. Too many make discussions difficult.Once you have a group, agree on how often you want to meet—usually clubs meet monthly. Pick a date and stick with it. That way, members can easily plan for it. Send out emails a week before the meeting to give people a written reminder. Set meeting time length. An hour is a good start. Two hours usually does the trick.Then, you need a good place. Libraries, parks and restaurants—all make good meeting places. For many clubs, homes are the best place as you don't have to get dressed up, and noisy public places can make talking hard. If members bring a plate of food or a bottle, it can help start conversation.Please don't forget the most important thing—the book! Think about the books your club will enjoy. Fiction? Non-fiction? Your club can choose books in different ways. You can take turns to recommend books. Let everyone vote upon what book to read. Anyway, make sure to keep it light and fun.After all this has been decided, your book club is ready. Now, it's time to hold the first meeting. Enjoy your reading.(续表)B[2017·盐城]Do you know how many bones are there in your body? When you were a baby, you had about 330 bones, and now you have just over 200 bones. The number reduces because some bones join together as you grow. Your wonderful bones work together to protect you and support your body.Many usesMany hones protect your body. For example, the bone that makes up your head is called the skull. The skull surroundsyour brain and protects it. The ribs that cover your chest protect your heart and lungs.Other bones are used to support the body. Many bones in your feet allow you to walk and stand on your tiptoes. Your hands and feet have more than half of the bones in your body!Biggest BoneThe longest and strongest bone in your body is in your leg. It is called the femur, and it goes from your hip to your knee. It is a very important bone because it carries all of your weight and helps you move from place to place.Smallest BoneWould you believe the smallest bone in your body is in your ear? It is about the size of a grain of rice and is called the stirrup. When sound waves come into your ear, the stirrup shakes back and forth, allowing the sound waves to reach your brain. When the waves reach your brain, you hear the sound.“Funny”BoneHah! The funny bone isn't really a bone at all. It is actually a nerve(神经). When you hit the nerve that is near your elbow, it really hurts or tingles. What's so funny about that? The funny bone probably got its name from the bone that is above your elbow. That bone is called the humerus, which sounds like the word “humorous”，meaning “funny”．The bones that make up our bodies help us grow, and allow us to move. When you think about it, our bones really are wonderful.CSmoking is bad for you, but what if your parents smoke? You might be worried about their health, be tired of smelling the smoke, or even a little embarrassed by it. You can't order your parents to stop smoking, but you can help them to give up this bad habit. Tell them smoking is not good for their health.If you think it will help, you could find some articles like this one and give them to your parents. Many states now have free programmes to help people give up smoking. You might even see them advertised on billboards(广告牌) in your town. Point these out to your parents and help them to find out more about these programmes.What if your parents get angry with you for mentioning the topic of smoking? People don't like to be told that they are doing something unhealthy, so it is possible that your parents will be angry, especially if they are worried they won't be able to give up smoking. Maybe they have tried before but failed.Remember to be kind and show respect(尊敬) when you discuss smoking with your parents. Also remember that it is noteasy to give up smoking. Some people have tried several times before they're able to give up. Instead of shouting at them, tell them that you love them and want them to enjoy many healthy years ahead. They may finally realize you are right about smoking.If your parents agree to stop smoking, be their biggest supporter. Ask if there is anything you can do when they feel the desire(渴望) to smoke. Maybe you could go for a walk, do a puzzle, or listen to music together. As they reach their goals, such as a month without smoking, remember to celebrate the achievement._题组训练2_AFrance is the largest country in Western Europe. There are over 66 million people in France. The country is home to romantic natural scenes like the Seine River and places of interest such as the Eiffel Tower. About 75 million visitors come here every year. Here are top things to do in France.Visit museums. No trip to France is complete without a visit to its museums, especially the world's bestknown one, the Louvre in Paris. In this fourfloor building, there are 35，000 works of art, such as the painting Mona Lisa by Da Vinci and the statue Venus de Milo. It will take you about nine months to enjoy all the pieces if you want to have a close look at each of them.Have a local meal. French food is famous. Bread is very important in France. The most popular French bread is called baguette. The long bread tastes crispy(酥脆的) and salty. Snails are also a must-have here. About 40，000 tons of snails are eaten up every year! They are always cooked with butter and garlic.Take a bike tour. What is the best way to enjoy the beauty of the Loire Valley? It's taking a bike tour. You can experience the real French life which is comfortable by cycling. You can stop and enjoy the charming scenery in any place you like and forget all unhappy things and trouble for the time being. How relaxed you will feel! You may meet some local people. A bright “Bonjour！” always begins a nice talk. If you come here in June and July, you are lucky. The famous bike race—Tour of France takes place at this time.(续表)BNowadays, WeChat is becoming more and more popular in the world. No matter where we are, on the light rail, in a coffee shop, even walking on the street, we always find people using WeChat around us.According to some people, there are lots of reasons for the popularity of WeChat. First of all, it is easy to use. You can log into it with your phone number and start a conversation by tapping the speak button. In addition, WeChat is a wonderful platform for people to share a great deal of information. Meanwhile, you can also do group chats, use WeChat pay, play online games, send lucky money or find new friends nearby to talk to, which helps make many friends and express your feelings and ideas more freely.On the other hand, some people argue that although WeChat benefits us a lot, it has some drawbacks. When using WeChat, people may forget time and some may even get addicted(上瘾) to it, which will affect their study and work. At the same time, spending too much time on the screen does affect eye health, which may cause trouble. Worse still, people may let out their personal information while using it, which may lead to crime.As far as I know, everyone is supposed to use WeChat within limits. As a student, I think that WeChat is not only useful but also dangerous. Therefore, I insist that we shouldn't spend too much time on it. We should balance life's competing interests —in a student's case, study, health and safety. And it's of very importance for us to protect ourselves when we use it.(续表)CMusic has always been an important part of Chinese people's life. People enjoy listening to music at home and in concerts halls. As time goes by, music changes.Traditional music is part of our culture, so it often stays with us for a long time. Many of the traditional Chinese songs have been around for many years. Young musicians learn songs from older musicians and the music changes only very little. Modern Chinese music, which is loved by many young people, however, is mainly pop music. That means the songs will be popular for a short time and then replaced by new songs. Today's musicians write new songs every year and we hear new songs on the radio every day.Before radio and TV were invented, music could only be heard live—that is you had to go places where musicians gave performances. The best musicians were very busy, so it was difficult and often expensive to hear really good music. For most people, the best chance to hear good music was during a festival or at a wedding. Today, people hear music all the time. Radio and TV play songs every day and night and you can even hear music played on the street.One thing that hasn't changed very much is what the songs are about. Both modern and traditional Chinese songs are about love and life. Some songs tell stories about the past and some are about the news or the future. All of the songs have something to do with what it means to be a human being.Music, traditional or modern, Chinese or international, seems to be a world language that everybody can understand and enjoy. Music changes and styles come and go, but nothing changes our love for good music._题组训练3_ASome countries in the West insist that China is one of the world's biggest greenhouse gas emitters(温室气体排放者). But in fact, our government has taken active action to struggle with climate changes.Firstly, the public are educated to pay more attention to the environment. As the government expects, the people have reached a very high level of knowing lowcarbon economy(低碳经济). If you watch TV, listen to the radio or read newspapers, you'll find low-carbon lifestyle has become a fashion. Secondly, developing renewable energy is another action. The government is building many wind farms and solar power stations in the deserts. Of course, within a long time, China willcontinue using the coal. At the same time, the government has been making rules to punish those people who dare to destroy the environment. Besides, some scientists have suggested that greening the deserts is more important than developing new forms of energy. Their latest research shows that 80% of the CO2 in the atmosphere comes from land use.As we know, China hasn't achieved a balance between the green lifestyle and the economic growth, but we are on the way. We'll take more action to reduce the greenhouse gas emission.(续表)BWe all have habits that we want to give up. These are habits which are not good for us in some way or another. A habit is an activity that we have got used to. It's not easy to break a bad habit because we have got used to it, and it has become convenient.We are so used to our bad habits that most of the time we even don't realize that we have them until someone points them out to us. So the first step that will lead to changing a bad habit is to accept the fact that is not good for you.Since you know you have developed a bad habit, it's best to find out why you developed it in the first place. Find out the reason behind it, as that will help you understand why you're so willing to perform that act. There is nothing to feel scared of. You have to face it and then give it up.Find out how bad habits have spoiled(损坏，糟蹋) things around you. For example, a bad habit of getting up late can destroy the schedule(时间表) of your whole day. And, if this is what you do every day, then imagine how many days it has already eaten up. Realize this and make up your mind to give it up.An alarm is something that will prevent you from performing your habit. For example, to avoid getting up late, set an alarm and decide that you need to make a little effort to reach it to turn it off.Tell your family and friends about your decision so that they can prevent you from performing the bad habit and also remind you of the promise you made to yourself.Reward yourself every time you stop yourself from performing the bad habit. This will encourage you to break the bad habit and at the same time make you happy.There are habits that people have carried with them for years and it will surely take some time to give them up. However,breaking a habit is a better choice than letting it grow into an addiction(瘾). Try giving up a bad habit, and feel the difference in yourself. You will be proud of yourself and I will certainly congratulate you on it.CHere are some English learning tips to help you improve your English.Ask yourself weekly: What do I want to learn this week?Asking yourself this question every week will help you think about what is most important to you. If you make a plan for each week, you will be surprised to notice how much you have improved your English by the end of the week! This feeling of success will encourage you to learn even more English.Quickly review before going to bed.Research has shown that our brains process(加工) information that is fresh in our brains while we sleep. By going over important knowledge before you go to sleep, your brain will work on this information while you sleep!Speak English aloud.Understanding grammar rules does not mean you can speak English well. You need to practice speaking aloud. Speaking by yourself at home and reading the exercises that you are doing will help connect the muscles(肌肉)of your face to the information in your head and improve your pronunciation.Do five to ten minutes of listening at least four times a week.If you decide that you are going to work hard and listen for two hours, maybe you will not do extra listening exercises soon. But if you listen five to ten minutes at least four times a week, you will find it's not so hard to develop the habit of listening to English.Look for situations to practice your English.Learning English in a classroom is important, but using English in real situations will improve your English skills greatly. You can create new situations by using the Internet to listen to news, exchange emails in English with email friends, etc._题组训练4_AWhen we say someone is in a blue mood. It means he or she is unhappy or sad. Are you feeling a little blue? Here are some fast and easy ways to cheer you up.Do exercise.When you exercise, your brain gives out a chemical called Endorphins(内啡肽). This chemical makes you feel happy. That is why exercise is good for you.Have a talk.If something or somebody is troubling you, don't quarrel with other people to relax yourself. It is a good idea to have a hearttoheart talk with a friend or a family member. Tell them your feelings. A chat is a useful way to make you feel better.Have some hobbies.For example, playing pop music, drawing something or listening to your favourite music will make you smile. Act like an artist. Draw, paint or make something. Being active and creative makes you feel more satisfied and less nervous.Laugh more.Laughing is the best way to improve your moods. Children laugh about 400 times a day. Adults only laugh about 20 times a day. What happens? Experts say if we laugh more, we will be happier and healthier.Think positively.Close your eyes and imagine a beautiful scene or a time. Never think about anything terrible that you can't change. What's more, leave your flat and go outside. Sun and fresh air are good for you. Be a kid for a day. Play games, watch comedy movies or read jokes online.(续表)BLet's face it: Homework can be almost as frustrating(沮丧) for parents as it is for kids. Getting kids to do their homework can be a challenge, and when they do sit down to study, a lot of other problems can appear.Doing homework may not be as fun as playing video games or chatting with friends, but it shouldn't be something that kids hate. Your children's assignments(任务) should help them build a skill or learn something new.You can help by being a homework monitor, stepping in to answer questions or offer encouragement. This gives you a chance to see what they are learning and how well they understand the material. It helps you understand their learning style and shows your care about their education.Many kids refuse to study by asking why they have to learn things they'll never use in real life. If your son or daughter shows little interest in their assignments, you can make them seem more important by pointing out ways you use them in daily life.If you feel that your kids are overloaded (超负荷), you can talk about it with the teachers. If you think it takes your children too long to finish their homework, try to make a decision whether the problem lies in having too much homework or managing time poorly.If your children complain of boredom while doing homework, give them the following suggestions：Get help from friends: If your children are bored with an assignment, let them call a friend for help or invite a friend to work on it with them.Add physical activities: Set mini-goals for homework and allow time for relaxing, jumping around, or a snack after each goal is completed. For a kid who can't sit still, find active ways to study.Turn the tables: Let your children teach you a lesson. Let them give you a test on the things they have just learnt.CHave you ever asked your relatives or friends if there is Wifi in their houses? Have you ever searched for Wi-fi when you are at restaurants or hotels? The answers will probably be “Yes”. Most of us want Wi-fi everywhere as if we can't live without it. But we can only use free Wi-fi in some public places. We still have to spend some money accessing(连接)the Internet at most time. Here comes a piece of good news.A rich, powerful organization in the USA called the Media Development Investment Fund (MDIF) has decided to change the age of online computing (计算) completely by giving free Wi-fi to every person on the Earth. They will send up hundreds of satellites into low Earth orbit(轨道)．This is because they have made a survey and found that only 60% of the world's population have been able to get information on the Internet. And this is also because many countries are unable to offer people the necessary infrastructure(基础设施) to access the web.We can expect to use free Wifi everywhere in the near future.参考答案中考题型集训(三) 任务型阅读|题组训练1|A1．start 2.Getting 3.love 4.Size5．fixed/regular 6.remind7.where8．public9.best10.waysB1．bones 2.grow 3.from 4.support 5.half6．kinds/types7.around8.smaller9.sound10．WhenC1．help 2.harm 3.worry 4.giving 5.free6．angry7.discussion8.hard/difficult9．support10.month|题组训练2|A1．largest/biggest 2.population 3.famous4．spend 5.liked/loved 6.long7.necessary 8．Cycling9.relaxing10.summerB 1．communication 2.Wherever3．Advantages 4.easily 5.lots/plenty6．lucky7.forget8.themselves9．eyes10.importantC 1．time 2.stays/remains 3.Pop 4.replaced5．ways 6.concert7.played8.love9．Though/Although10.never|题组训练3|A 1．result 2.actively 3.Western 4.reach 5．fashionable 6.Developing7.destroy8．latest9.situation10.achievedB 1．difficult/hard 2.How/Ways 3.Accept 4．developed 5.results/effects/influence6．alarm7.family8.succeed9．better10.proudC 1．Tips/Suggestions/Advice 2.weekly3．progress 4.encouraged rmation/knowledge 6．connect7.pronunciation8.often/times9．easier/easy10.creating|题组训练4|A 1．Ways 2.gives 3.relax 4.Having5．hobbies 6.nervous7.healthier8．twenty/209.imagine10.outsideB 1．homework 2.skill 3.style 4.care5．Problems/Difficulties eless7.Talk8．take9.boring10.activities/thingsC 1．Wi-fi 2.Present 3.without 4.costs5．decision 6.Reasons/Causes7.population 8．provide9.What10.cover。

2018年中考英语题型专项复习任务型阅读20篇及答案
Passage 1The Art of the ElephantsIf your cat walked across something you were painting and left footprints behind, would you consider your cat an artist？What if your bird held a colored pencil in its beak（喙）and painted on a piece of paper? Most people may think of animal art as a joke, but some people have been taking it very seriously。
Elephants were used for hundreds of years in Thailand’s logging industry（伐木业）. They moved wood from forests in areas where there were no roads。
At the beginning of this century，when the forests of Thailand began to quickly disappear，the government put a stop to logging。
All of a sudden，many elephants in Thailand no longer had a way to make a living.Some elephants were treated badly。
Others had to try to live on their own and couldn't find enough food to eat. There were once tens of thousands of elephants in Thailand. Today, there are less than five thousand. When two Russian American artists, Vitaly Komar and Alex Melamid，first heard about the troubled elephants in Thailand, they knew that something had to be done to forever change the way people treated Thai elephants. Then, they came up with an idea to help these elephants.Komar and Melamid visited elephant camps in Thailand and began to show the elephant trainers how to teach the elephants to paint。

阅读理解（一）（2017年荆州中考）APeople in Los Angeles are known for their love of cars. The city is very large, and its public transportation is slow. So people drive everywhere. But now, a group of bicyclists are trying to get people out of their cars and on bikes.Devon Fitzgerald says he has to be careful when he rides his bike in the streets. “A lot of people are in a rush, and it's very difficult to keep careful, for they would rather care for their speed than your safety.” Although riding a bike to work can be dangerous, he prefers it to a car. “It's much simpler than driving a car. For example, I don't have to worry about parking.”Roger Rosas drives to work. "You always have to make sure you look to the other side because someone would rush across by bike. Or you can easily get into an accident. "To make bicycling safer, some people who live and work near each other are riding to work together, which they call a "bike train". Nona Varnado helped create the group L. A. Bike Trains. "You're in a big group. If you're afraid of riding alone, you can now ride with experienced riders. " Nona said that people would feel safer by riding together in a group.1. People in Los Angeles are known for their love of_________.A. carsB. busesC. subwaysD. bicycles2. Devon Fitzgerald finds it _________ to ride his bike in the streets.A. safeB. dangerousC. boringD. exciting3. Devon Fitzgerald likes riding a bike better because__________.A. it's much cheaperB. it is full of funC. it's safer everywhereD. it's much easier4. From the passage we know that_________.A. riding in a “bike train” can help people feel saferB. Devon Fitzgerald helped to create L. A. Bike TrainsC. Roger Rosas prefers riding a bike to driving a carD. people can easily get into an accident when riding togetherBI still remembered my first day of second grade. I was led to a room. No teacher yet. Girls talking. Boys trying to kill each other.I took some paper and a pencil, picked a desk, and went to work. Minutes later, a girl came over and sat on top of my desk.“What're you doing?” she said.“Writing to 100,” I replied.“Is that you can do?”“No,” I said.Then I rose from my seat to get my pencil sharpener. I had no idea that when I stood, the desk would fall over and hurt her leg.Her name was Jane. From that day on--she was my best friend. Wherever we went--to school or church or basketball games, Jane saved me a seat or I saved one for her.Many years later, after college, I moved to California and married. Jane stayed in our hometown to be a social worker. We were friends for more than 50 years. After her death seven years ago, I still think of her often, especially at the start of the school year.TV ads try to tell us what children need for school—new shoes, clothes, backpacks. But really, children's needs are simple. Besides the basics—to be fed, cared for, and loved—they need the gift of friendship.For years, I feared how people saw me. But one day, I finally understood. I didn't need to be smart or pretty or popular. I just needed to be kind.My grandson Henry recently finished his preschool and received a priz e for “Friendship”. Even an Olympic medal wouldn't make me prouder! I think children need to know that they are loved. They need to know that they have all they need and the best way to win friends is to be one.5. When she came into the classroom, the writer ________.A. went to talk with Jane quicklyB. helped Jane write the numbers to 100C. worked quietly at her desk aloneD. was afraid that others would fight with her6. From the passage we know that__________.A. the writer's leg was hurt on the first day of schoolB. the two girls were close friends until Jane diedC. Jane often helped the writer to do some social workD. the two girls stayed in the same city after college7. Henry received a prize for "Friendship" probably because _________.A. he was kind to othersB. he was smart at his schoolworkC. he was loved by his grandmaD. he joined in the Olympics8.The best title of this article would be__________.A. My Best Friend JaneB. How to Choose FriendsC. My First Day at SchoolD. Friendship ValuesCThe winter of 1948 was very difficult for our family of eight living in Knoxvile, Tennessee. Unfortunately, Dad became ill and soon was out of a job. I was only 8 years old and my younger brother, Buddy was 7. After school we went to pick coal(煤) that fell from the coal train along the railroad near our home. When the train slowed down, we ran alongside it. After the train passed, we picked up the fallen coal.One day, the train stopped for a short time unusually. My brother and I were digging around in the snow when the train's fireman came to the window and shouted to us, “Why are you boys digging in the snow? Are you looking for gold?” he laughed.“No, sir,” I replied, “We are finding coal.”“Why doesn't your daddy buy coal? It's really dangerous here.”“Our daddy is very sick and we have no money to buy food and coal,” I answered.The fireman turned and went inside. After a moment, he shouted again. “Hey! Bring that coal bucket(桶子) here. I got something for you.” Then the fireman filled our bucket with clean coal. We were happy with his gift, and we knew we could go home early that day.He smiled the kindest and warmest smile I had ever seen. “You two boys come here the day after tomorrow and I'll throw off some coal.”Two days later, Buddy and I stood by the railroads as the train slowed down. The fireman waved to us, then disappeared. Suddenly, some coal and a piece of red cloth came out. In the red cloth were two pieces of bubble gum(泡泡糖) and a new one-dollar bill.All that winter, three days a week, we received a bucket of coal, a gift and, sometimes, money.I never knew the person's full name, but to our family, he was a guardian angel.9. The winter was very difficult for the family because____________.A. the weather was colder than everB. they couldn't afford food or coalC. the writer's father was paid a littleD. they couldn't get help from the government10.

In exchange, they get some money or other computer time.Paying kids for housework is one of the most popular topics, especially at a time when everyone is more careful about money. Some parents think since adults are paid to do their jobs, we should pay kids for everyday housework.But some people don't think kids should get rewards(报酬) for doing housework. Susie Walton, an expert, believe 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 housework is a team effort,” Walton 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 families decide how they want their home to look, and how they are going to keep it looking like what they want.”Other people believe that getting a reward encourages kids to do housework, and it also teaches them real world lessons about how we need to work to get money. There are also apps(程序) that gives kids points and digital gifts that can be redeemed(兑现) either online or in the real world. “Our goal is to give kids lawful power so they can get rewards,” says Chris Bergman. “And kids need rewards to help encourage them. ”6. Which of the following housework is NOT mentioned in Paragraph 1?A. Washing the dishes.B. Cooking meals.C. Folding the clothes.D. Making the bed.7.

Which is the best title for the passage?A. Kids Should Study as Well as Doing HouseworkB. Let Children Do Some HouseworkC. Should Kids Be Rewarded for Doing HouseworkD. Doing Housework Is Good for Children's StudyCLast summer I went to one of the world's most famous historical places, the Forbidden City in Beijng, China. It was the home of the emperors of the last two dynasties (朝代) in China, the Ming and Qing Dynasties.The Forbidden City was built in 1420. The palace has over 10,000 rooms. It was where the emperors dealt with the official business with their ministers.In Mandarin, The Forbidden City is called the Purple Forbidden City. However, the color of the palace itself is not purple. The color purple stands for power of the great emperors of China. It was so sacred(神圣的) that the commoners could not even dream of ever going in.The emperors also had some of the largest festival celebrations at the Forbidden City. During Chinese New Year, the emperor would invite all the members of his family and his officials to a banquet. The banquet had a hundred and eight Chinese dishes. It was such an expensive banquet that it could feed a commoner's family for three generations(代).Right now The Forbidden City is known as a historical site for tourists from all over the world. Everyone can go in there. It is a museum with priceless Chinese antiques (古董) and treasures in it.I really learned a lot about the Chinese culture and its history from this trip to The Forbidden City. It was like a dream come true to go on the trip and see the things that I have always wanted to see.11. How long is the history of the Forbidden City?A. About 600 years.B. More than 600 years.C. 1,420 years.D. Over 10,000 years.12.

Not only is she a high school student, but she has also set up her own organization, Beary Merry Christmas. She volunteers（自愿）to serve poor kids and families in Orange Country in California, US.To remember her best friend who died of cancer nearly 10 years ago, Fredette decided to serve those in Orange Country who are less lucky than she is.She began with the simple idea of collecting donated(捐赠的)Build-A-Bears,the popular toy animal that is made by children themselves in the stores' workshops. Fredette then gave them as gifts to the homeless children in California during the holiday season.With donations at more than 100 bears a year, Fredette and volunteers host activities every year, where volunteers not only give out the bears, but also clothing, meals, and other things.Not wanting to limit（限制）the giving to just the holiday months, Fredette now hosts other activities for Valentine's Day, Mother's Day and Halloween, providing the chance for her volunteerteam to make a difference through the year.“I love making relationships with the people I serve,” Fredette said. “The thanks they have, hearing their stories and seeing how happy they are, it's so cool.”Future plans for Fredette include building a public food bank and providing aself-development class for students in her school who will soon attend college.Heading to college herself in the fall, Fredette is looking to stay local and continue to help out in her hometown. In fact, she was regarded as a “Dreamer & Doer” not long ago for her work in improving her community, along with 32 other high school students.4. Fredette started her own organization to .A. keep her life busyB. help poor peopleC. look after the sickD. thank her best friend5. What can we learn about Beary Merry Christmas?A. It holds one activity a year.B. It offers service around America.C. It buys bears from the stores.D. It gives out other things besides bears.6. It can be inferred（推断）that Fredette .A. likes telling people storiesB. dreams of being a teacherC. is pleased with what she doesD. plans to leave California for college7. What can be the best title for the passage?A. Giving back to societyB. Getting on well with othersC. Providing a food bankD. Improving community collegesCMore Chinese universities are opening their libraries to the public, allowing people to enjoy reading during normal time and the vacations.But for some students, including Wang Ling, 21, in Sun Yat-sen University, this practice has caused headaches. “Members of the public come to our libraries more for sightseeing than reading,” said Wang.“They sometimes even bring their kids along, and take photos as if it were a place of interest.”Wang has found it hard to get a seat during busy times. Being short of space is a common problem for university libraries in China.However, this is not the only reason why students dislike their libraries being open to members of the public. They fear that the quietness of the libraries will be influenced because of visitors' rude behavior.Chen Jie, 18, a student in Tongji University, is one who would be against opening to the public. “I hav e been to a public library before. People were chatting loudly or speaking on cell phone so you can hardly read,” Chen said. She notices teachers doing serious reading and feels their concentration（专注）has influenced her. “If too many strangers stay here, t he whole library will be a noisy place and it's difficult for us to study quietly,” she said.Will there be alternative（可替代的）ways to share those libraries? Some experts consider that university libraries can prevent the public from entering certain areas. “We might keep magazines for academic research only for teachers and students,” said Zhu Lina, library director in Jinan University.Working together with the community library is another solution. “It's possible that a member of the public can order a bo ok in our library over the Internet,” Ge Jianxiong, the library director in Fudan University said. “We'll send it to a public libraries close to their home.”8. We can see from the passage that Wang Ling .A. hates to study in the libraryB. prefers sightseeing to readingC. feels good to play with kidsD. is a university student aged 219. In Chen Jie's opinion, visitors to university libraries may .A. take up too much spaceB. break the peace thereC. make teachers relaxedD. get students to read more10. The writer mentions two libraries directors' words to help explain how to .A. manage libraries onlineB. keep the public politeC. share university librariesD. do scientific research11. Where is the passage most probably taken from?A. A newspaper.B. A library guide.C. A story book.D. A notice board.DHave you ever seen a car without a driver? It sounds crazy, but these computer-driven driverless cars will soon be filling roads near you. Companies like Google and Tesla have been designing and testing these cars, and the technology is there.So how? The cars have sensors（感应器）all around which can find other cars and objects in the road. Road signs are read by cameras, and satellite navigation systems（卫星导航系统）are used so the car knows how to get where you want to go. All you have to do is type in the address! Finally, a central computer system takes in all the information that it receives from the sensors and cameras and works out when to speed up, stop and turn.Sound like your idea of heaven（天堂）? Sitting back, looking out of the windows and even watching a film or reading a book while ‘driving' would be possible with this new technology. You wouldn't have to worry about remembering directions to where you're going. In addition, computers would also drive more safely than people — they would obey the rules and have quicker action times when in dangerous situations.However, there are many drawbacks of driverless cars. Computers would have difficulties making ethical（道德的）decisions: if a child ran into the road, would the computer choose to hit the child or turn suddenly and potentially kill the car's passengers? Moreover, I personally find driving fun –I'd miss never driving a car myself. There would also be many other decisions to be made –should children, or drunk people, be allowed in a driverless car by themselves? Or would there need to be a person with a driving license in the car at all times?I'm not certain I'd want a driverless car – but it's only a matter of time before they'll become more affordable and popular on our roads.12. When using a driverless car, you need only .A. read the road signs carefullyB. check the camerasC. put the address into the computerD. remember the directions13. The third paragraph mainly tells us about the of driverless cars.A. instructionsB. standardsC. advantagesD. tests14. The underlined word “potentially” in Paragraph 4 means ““.A. possiblyB. successfullyC. especiallyD. naturally15. What's the writer's opinion about future driverless cars?A. They'll cause more accidents.B. They'll be less expensive.C. They'll use less energy.D. They'll run much faster.（四）（2017年枣庄中考）ALast year, I went to Beijing Qizhi Special Education School for community service（社区服务）.Bef ore we took the bus, my friend asked me a question, “Why are you here?” I did not know how to answer the question.The school was not far from my school, but it looked like it was in a different world. A group of children were waiting for us. A boy walked toward me. He held my hands and pulled me to the ground. I kissed the earth and tasted nature.I could not understand what he was doing at first, then I was very angry. Though I was very angry, I controlled my anger.A teacher stopped this awkward（尴尬的）sil ence when she shouted at the boy. “What are you doing right here, right now?” she said. “You will never see your mom again if you keep doing this. Now, say sorry!” “Sorry,” he cried fearfully and nervously. I said nothing, but I realized something about t his child. After lunch I asked the teacher for information about the child's parents.She said that the child was very different from other students because of an illness. His family could not afford to treat him. He needed the kindness of his family, but they had abandoned him. So he depended on the support from the teachers and community service workers like us.I suddenly realized I could answer the question my friend asked me at the beginning of the day.Community service workers help others and make everyone feel better. There are so many people in the world that need help. Playing with lonely children may not make a big difference. But it can light a corner in the children's hearts, making them know they are loved by people.1. How did the writer reach Beijing Qizhi Special Education School?A. By train.B. By car.C. By bus. C. By taxi.2. Why did the writer get angry?A. Because a boy held the writer's hands.B. Because the writer did not like to taste nature.C. Because a boy pushed the writer to the ground.D. Because a boy was impolite to the writer.3. The boy acted differently from others because _______.A. he was sickB. his parents didn't like himC. he was nervous and fearfulD. he always lived with teachers4. The underlined word “abandoned” most probably means “_______”.A. hurtB. leftC. soldD. forgotten5. From the passage we can learn that the writer __________.A. helped so many people in the worldB. played with the lonely boy after lunchC. learned the meaning of community serviceD. wasn't good at answering the questions about community serviceBThe Silk Road is the name of different roads that long ago connected Europe, Africa and Asia. People reached these different places along these roads. Scientists believe people began to travel the Silk Road about 3,000 years ago. By the time the Chinese silk trade became important in the world, the Silk Road covered almost 6,500 kilometers. It spread from Rome to China, which is from the West to the Far East.Traders travelling along the Silk Road carried silk, of course. They also carried and traded spices（香料）,cloth, valuable stones and gold.There is a famous old story along the old road. It is said that Roman soldiers（士兵）travelled through central Asia. They started to live somewhere near the ancient Chinese village of Liqian. Some of these Romans married local Chinese women and the story of blue-eyed villages of China was started.During its busiest period, the Silk Road allowed people from many different cultures andcountries to meet each other and mix. The Silk Road allowed the sharing of valuable goods and new ideas. These included people and trading goods from the Mediterranean, Persian, Magyar, Armenian, Bactrian, Indian and Chinese areas. All these peoples travelled the Silk Road, and they shared goods, stories, languages, and cultures.In modern times, the old Silk Road routes（路线）are still used, but now they are crossed by trains instead of camels and horses. There is even a Silk Route Museum in Jiuquan in China. It has over 35,000 objects from all along the Silk Road. In this way, China protects the history of many countries and peoples.6. How many kilometers did the Silk Road cover?A. About 3,000.B. Nearly 6,500.C. Almost 2,000.D. Over 35,000.7. Traders carried all kinds of goods along the Silk Road. Which of the following is not mentioned in the passage?A. Silk.B. Cloth.C. Gold.D. Tea.8. Who married ancient Chinese women in the story of blue-eyed villages of China?A. Asian soldiers.B. African soldiers.C. European soldiers.D. American soldiers.9. What can we infer（推断）from the passage?A. Valuable things could not be sold along the Silk Road.B. The Silk Road allowed people from different countries to mix.C. Ancient Chinese along the Silk Road may be able to speak different languages.D. The objects in the museum in Jiuquan in China are from all along the Silk Road.10. Which part of a magazine can this passage come from?A. History and Geography.B. Sports World.C. Man and Animals.D.

任务型阅读（一）A little stream(小溪) ran down from a high mountain through many villages and forests.Then it reached a desert. “I went through so many difficulties. I should have no problem crossing the desert,” she thought. As she started, she found herself slowly vanishing(消失)into the sand. After many tries, she still failed. “Maybe I can’t reach the ocean,” she said sadly to herself.At this time, a deep voice said, “If wind can cross the desert, so can a river.” It was the voice of the desert. But the little stream answered, “That’s because the wind can fly, but I can not.”“That’s because you can’t give up what you are. Let yourself evaporate(蒸发)into the wind and it can take you across me,” said the desert. “Give up what I am now? No! No!” The little stream could not accept this idea. “The wind can carry the vapor(蒸汽)across the desert and let it leave as rain. The rain will form a river again,” said the desert. “And whether you’re a river or vapor, your nature never changes.” After hearing this, the little stream went into the open arms of the wind. It carried her to the next stage of her life.The course of our lives is like the experience of the little stream. If you want to go through difficulties in your life to head for success, you should also change the way you are.Answer the following questions according to what you read.1. Did the little stream want to reach the ocean or the desert at last?____________________________________________2. Was the little stream able to cross the desert at first?____________________________________________3.Who gave the advice to the little stream?____________________________________________4.What did the little Stream do after hearing the desert's words?____________________________________________5.

A[2016·扬州]Starting a book club is easy—all you need is to love reading. Here's how to get yours off to a flying start.When you set up your book club, the first thing is to get members for your club. They could be friends, family, or those you know through various activities, but they should all love to read. A small group of seven to ten people is usually an ideal size for a book club. Too many make discussions difficult.Once you have a group, agree on how often you want to meet—usually clubs meet monthly. Pick a date and stick with it. That way, members can easily plan for it. Send out emails a week before the meeting to give people a written reminder. Set meeting time length. An hour is a good start. Two hours usually does the trick.Then, you need a good place. Libraries, parks and restaurants—all make good meeting places. For many clubs, homes are the best place as you don't have to get dressed up, and noisy public places can make talking hard. If members bring a plate of food or a bottle, it can help start conversation.Please don't forget the most important thing—the book! Think about the books your club will enjoy. Fiction? Non-fiction? Your club can choose books in different ways. You can take turns to recommend books. Let everyone vote upon what book to read. Anyway, make sure to keep it light and fun.After all this has been decided, your book club is ready. Now, it's time to hold the first meeting. Enjoy your reading.(续表)Do you know how many bones are there in your body? When you were a baby, you had about 330 bones, and now you have just over 200 bones. The number reduces because some bones join together as you grow. Your wonderful bones work together to protect you and support your body.Many usesMany hones protect your body. For example, the bone that makes up your head is called the skull. The skull surrounds your brain and protects it. The ribs that cover your chest protect your heart and lungs.Other bones are used to support the body. Many bones in your feet allow you to walk and stand on your tiptoes. Your hands and feet have more than half of the bones in your body!Biggest BoneThe longest and strongest bone in your body is in your leg. It is called the femur, and it goes from your hip to your knee. It is a very important bone because it carries all of your weight and helps you move from place to place.Smallest BoneWould you believe the smallest bone in your body is in your ear? It is about the size of a grain of rice and is called the stirrup. When sound waves come into your ear, the stirrup shakes back and forth, allowing the sound waves to reach your brain. When the waves reach your brain, you hear the sound.“Funny”BoneHah! The funny bone isn't really a bone at all. It is actually a nerve(神经). When you hit the nerve that is near your elbow, it really hurts or tingles. What's so funny about that? The funny bone probably got its name from the bone that is above your elbow. That bone is called the humerus, which sounds like the word “humorous”，meaning “funny”．The bones that make up our bodies help us grow, and allow us to move. When you think about it, our bones really are wonderful.Smoking is bad for you, but what if your parents smoke? You might be worried about their health, be tired of smelling the smoke, or even a little embarrassed by it. You can't order your parents to stop smoking, but you can help them to give up this bad habit. Tell them smoking is not good for their health.If you think it will help, you could find some articles like this one and give them to your parents. Many states now have free programmes to help people give up smoking. You might even see them advertised on billboards(广告牌) in your town. Point these out to your parents and help them to find out more about these programmes.What if your parents get angry with you for mentioning the topic of smoking? People don't like to be told that they are doing something unhealthy, so it is possible that your parents will be angry, especially if they are worried they won't be able to give up smoking. Maybe they have tried before but failed.Remember to be kind and show respect(尊敬) when you discuss smoking with your parents. Also remember that it is not easy to give up smoking. Some people have tried several times before they're able to give up. Instead of shouting at them, tellthem that you love them and want them to enjoy many healthy years ahead. They may finally realize you are right about smoking.If your parents agree to stop smoking, be their biggest supporter. Ask if there is anything you can do when they feel the desire(渴望) to smoke. Maybe you could go for a walk, do a puzzle, or listen to music together. As they reach their goals, such as a month without smoking, remember to celebrate the achievement._题组训练2_AFrance is the largest country in Western Europe. There are over 66 million people in France. The country is home to romantic natural scenes like the Seine River and places of interest such as the Eiffel Tower. About 75 million visitors come here every year. Here are top things to do in France.Visit museums. No trip to France is complete without a visit to its museums, especially the world's bestknown one, the Louvre in Paris. In this fourfloor building, there are 35，000 works of art, such as the painting Mona Lisa by Da Vinci and the statue Venus de Milo. It will take you about nine months to enjoy all the pieces if you want to have a close look at each of them.Have a local meal. French food is famous. Bread is very important in France. The most popular French bread is called baguette. The long bread tastes crispy(酥脆的) and salty. Snails are also a must-have here. About 40，000 tons of snails are eaten up every year! They are always cooked with butter and garlic.Take a bike tour. What is the best way to enjoy the beauty of the Loire Valley? It's taking a bike tour. You can experience the real French life which is comfortable by cycling. You can stop and enjoy the charming scenery in any place you like and forget all unhappy things and trouble for the time being. How relaxed you will feel! You may meet some local people. A bright “Bonjour！” always begins a nice talk. If you come here in June and July, you are lucky. The famous bike race—Tour of France takes place at this time.(续表)BNowadays, WeChat is becoming more and more popular in the world. No matter where we are, on the light rail, in a coffee shop, even walking on the street, we always find people using WeChat around us.According to some people, there are lots of reasons for the popularity of WeChat. First of all, it is easy to use. You can log into it with your phone number and start a conversation by tapping the speak button. In addition, WeChat is a wonderful platform for people to share a great deal of information. Meanwhile, you can also do group chats, use WeChat pay, play online games, send lucky money or find new friends nearby to talk to, which helps make many friends and express your feelings and ideas more freely.On the other hand, some people argue that although WeChat benefits us a lot, it has some drawbacks. When using WeChat, people may forget time and some may even get addicted(上瘾) to it, which will affect their study and work. At the same time, spending too much time on the screen does affect eye health, which may cause trouble. Worse still, people may let out their personal information while using it, which may lead to crime.As far as I know, everyone is supposed to use WeChat within limits. As a student, I think that WeChat is not only useful but also dangerous. Therefore, I insist that we shouldn't spend too much time on it. We should balance life's competing interests —in a student's case, study, health and safety. And it's of very importance for us to protect ourselves when we use it.(续表)CMusic has always been an important part of Chinese people's life. People enjoy listening to music at home and in concerts halls. As time goes by, music changes.Traditional music is part of our culture, so it often stays with us for a long time. Many of the traditional Chinese songs have been around for many years. Young musicians learn songs from older musicians and the music changes only very little. Modern Chinese music, which is loved by many young people, however, is mainly pop music. That means the songs will be popular for a short time and then replaced by new songs. Today's musicians write new songs every year and we hear new songs on the radio every day.Before radio and TV were invented, music could only be heard live—that is you had to go places where musicians gave performances. The best musicians were very busy, so it was difficult and often expensive to hear really good music. For most people, the best chance to hear good music was during a festival or at a wedding. Today, people hear music all the time. Radio and TV play songs every day and night and you can even hear music played on the street.One thing that hasn't changed very much is what the songs are about. Both modern and traditional Chinese songs are about love and life. Some songs tell stories about the past and some are about the news or the future. All of the songs have something to do with what it means to be a human being.Music, traditional or modern, Chinese or international, seems to be a world language that everybody can understand and enjoy. Music changes and styles come and go, but nothing changes our love for good music._题组训练3_ASome countries in the West insist that China is one of the world's biggest greenhouse gas emitters(温室气体排放者). But in fact, our government has taken active action to struggle with climate changes.Firstly, the public are educated to pay more attention to the environment. As the government expects, the people have reached a very high level of knowing lowcarbon economy(低碳经济). If you watch TV, listen to the radio or read newspapers, you'll find low-carbon lifestyle has become a fashion. Secondly, developing renewable energy is another action. The government is building many wind farms and solar power stations in the deserts. Of course, within a long time, China will continue using the coal. At the same time, the government has been making rules to punish those people who dare to destroy the environment. Besides, some scientists have suggested that greening the deserts is more important than developing new forms of energy. Their latest research shows that 80% of the CO2 in the atmosphere comes from land use.As we know, China hasn't achieved a balance between the green lifestyle and the economic growth, but we are on the way. We'll take more action to reduce the greenhouse gas emission.(续表) BWe all have habits that we want to give up. These are habits which are not good for us in some way or another. A habit is an activity that we have got used to. It's not easyto break a bad habit because we have got used to it, and it has become convenient.We are so used to our bad habits that most of the time we even don't realize that we have them until someone points them out to us. So the first step that will lead to changing a bad habit is to accept the fact that is not good for you.Since you know you have developed a bad habit, it's best to find out why you developed it in the first place. Find out the reason behind it, as that will help you understand why you're so willing to perform that act. There is nothing to feel scared of. You have to face it and then give it up.Find out how bad habits have spoiled(损坏，糟蹋) things around you. For example, a bad habit of getting up late can destroy the schedule(时间表) of your whole day. And, if this is what you do every day, then imagine how many days it has already eaten up. Realize this and make up your mind to give it up.An alarm is something that will prevent you from performing your habit. For example, to avoid getting up late, set an alarm and decide that you need to make a little effort to reach it to turn it off.Tell your family and friends about your decision so that they can prevent you from performing the bad habit and also remind you of the promise you made to yourself.Reward yourself every time you stop yourself from performing the bad habit. This will encourage you to break the bad habit and at the same time make you happy.There are habits that people have carried with them for years and it will surely take some time to give them up. However, breaking a habit is a better choice than letting it grow into an addiction(瘾). Try giving up a bad habit, and feel the difference in yourself. You will be proud of yourself and I will certainly congratulate you on it.Here are some English learning tips to help you improve your English. Ask yourself weekly: What do I want to learn this week?Asking yourself this question every week will help you think about what is most important to you. If you make a plan for each week, you will be surprised to notice how much you have improved your English by the end of the week! This feeling of success will encourage you to learn even more English.Quickly review before going to bed.Research has shown that our brains process(加工) information that is fresh in our brains while we sleep. By going over important knowledge before you go to sleep, your brain will work on this information while you sleep!Speak English aloud.Understanding grammar rules does not mean you can speak English well. You need to practice speaking aloud. Speaking by yourself at home and reading the exercises that you are doing will help connect the muscles(肌肉)of your face to the information in your head and improve your pronunciation.Do five to ten minutes of listening at least four times a week.If you decide that you are going to work hard and listen for two hours, maybe you will not do extra listening exercises soon. But if you listen five to ten minutes at least four times a week, you will find it's not so hard to develop the habit of listening to English.Look for situations to practice your English.Learning English in a classroom is important, but using English in real situations will improve your English skills greatly. You can create new situations by using the Internet to listen to news, exchange emails in English with email friends, etc._题组训练4_AWhen we say someone is in a blue mood. It means he or she is unhappy or sad. Are you feeling a little blue? Here are some fast and easy ways to cheer you up.Do exercise.When you exercise, your brain gives out a chemical called Endorphins(内啡肽). This chemical makes you feel happy. That is why exercise is good for you.Have a talk.If something or somebody is troubling you, don't quarrel with other people to relax yourself. It is a good idea to have a hearttoheart talk with a friend or a family member. Tell them your feelings. A chat is a useful way to make you feel better.Have some hobbies.For example, playing pop music, drawing something or listening to your favourite music will make you smile. Act like an artist. Draw, paint or make something. Being active and creative makes you feel more satisfied and less nervous.Laugh more.Laughing is the best way to improve your moods. Children laugh about 400 times a day. Adults only laugh about 20 times a day. What happens? Experts say if we laugh more, we will be happier and healthier.Think positively.Close your eyes and imagine a beautiful scene or a time. Never think about anything terrible that you can't change. What's more, leave your flat and go outside. Sun and fresh air are good for you. Be a kid for a day. Play games, watch comedy movies or read jokes online.(续表)BLet's face it: Homework can be almost as frustrating(沮丧) for parents as it is for kids. Getting kids to do their homeworkcan be a challenge, and when they do sit down to study, a lot of other problems can appear.Doing homework may not be as fun as playing video games or chatting with friends, but it shouldn't be something that kids hate. Your children's assignments(任务) should help them build a skill or learn something new.You can help by being a homework monitor, stepping in to answer questions or offer encouragement. This gives you a chance to see what they are learning and how well they understand the material. It helps you understand their learning style and shows your care about their education.Many kids refuse to study by asking why they have to learn things they'll never use in real life. If your son or daughter shows little interest in their assignments, you can make them seem more important by pointing out ways you use them in daily life.If you feel that your kids are overloaded (超负荷), you can talk about it with the teachers. If you think it takes your children too long to finish their homework, try to make a decision whether the problem lies in having too much homework or managing time poorly.If your children complain of boredom while doing homework, give them the following suggestions：Get help from friends: If your children are bored with an assignment, let them call a friend for help or invite a friend to work on it with them.Add physical activities: Set mini-goals for homework and allow time for relaxing, jumping around, or a snack after each goal is completed. For a kid who can't sit still, find active ways to study.Turn the tables: Let your children teach you a lesson. Let them give you a test on the things they have just learnt.CHave you ever asked your relatives or friends if there is Wifi in their houses? Have you ever searched for Wi-fi when you are at restaurants or hotels? The answers will probably be “Yes”. Most of us want Wi-fi everywhere as if we can't live without it. But we can only use free Wi-fi in some public places. We still have to spend some money accessing(连接)the Internet at most time. Here comes a piece of good news.A rich, powerful organization in the USA called the Media Development Investment Fund (MDIF) has decided to changethe age of online computing (计算) completely by giving free Wi-fi to every person on the Earth. They will send up hundreds of satellites into low Earth orbit(轨道)．This is because they have made a survey and found that only 60% of the world's population have been able to get information on the Internet. And this is also because many countries are unable to offer people the necessary infrastructure(基础设施) to access the web.We can expect to use free Wifi everywhere in the near future.参考答案中考题型集训(三) 任务型阅读|题组训练1|A1．start 2.Getting 3.love 4.Size5．fixed/regular 6.remind7.where8．public9.best10.waysB1．bones 2.grow 3.from 4.support 5.half6．kinds/types7.around8.smaller9.sound10．WhenC1．help 2.harm 3.worry 4.giving 5.free6．angry7.discussion8.hard/difficult9．support10.month|题组训练2|A1．largest/biggest 2.population 3.famous4．spend 5.liked/loved 6.long7.necessary 8．Cycling9.relaxing10.summerB 1．communication 2.Wherever3．Advantages 4.easily 5.lots/plenty6．lucky7.forget8.themselves9．eyes10.importantC 1．time 2.stays/remains 3.Pop 4.replaced5．ways 6.concert7.played8.love9．Though/Although10.never|题组训练3|A 1．result 2.actively 3.Western 4.reach 5．fashionable 6.Developing7.destroy8．latest9.situation10.achievedB 1．difficult/hard 2.How/Ways 3.Accept 4．developed 5.results/effects/influence6．alarm7.family8.succeed9．better10.proudC 1．Tips/Suggestions/Advice 2.weekly3．progress 4.encouraged rmation/knowledge 6．connect7.pronunciation8.often/times9．easier/easy10.creating|题组训练4|A 1．Ways 2.gives 3.relax 4.Having5．hobbies 6.nervous7.healthier8．twenty/209.imagine10.outsideB 1．homework 2.skill 3.style 4.care5．Problems/Difficulties eless7.Talk8．take9.boring10.activities/thingsC 1．Wi-fi 2.Present 3.without 4.costs5．decision 6.Reasons/Causes7.population 8．provide9.What10.cover。

I went to a special school where I got plenty of extra (额外的) help. Still, I suffered the rest of my school days in public schools.[2] My life improved greatly when I discovered art. The art world gave me a chance to express myself without words. I went toa workshop and gradually became good at making things with clay.

And my confidence（⾃信）came along.[3] I got my next lesson from rock climbing. It was a fun thing but I was scared from the start. （68）I soon noticed it wasn’t a talent thing; it needed lots of practice. So I did it more. After about five years of climbing, I found myself in Yosemite Valley on a big wall. I learned that if you fall in love with something and do it all the time, you will get better at it. [4] Later I decided to learn (69) ① to read and write. I practiced readingand(69)② , which I used to avoid as much as possible. After two years, I was literate(有⽂化的).[5] Through the long process with art, (69) ③, and reading and writing, now I’ve got to a point in my life: I am smart enough to dive into (潜⼊) an area that is totally unknown, hard, but interesting.46.

That is because they are putting on a shadow play(皮影戏).Shadow puppets(玩偶) are made of hard leather. The leather is cut out in the shape of a person, an animal or an object. Each puppet is painted in bright colours and put on a stick. Some puppets have movable arms and legs.During a shadow play, Wang stands behind a white screen with lights behind it. The audience sit in front of the screen. Wang and his friends hold the puppets very close to the screen so the audience can see the puppets’ shadows clearly. Then they move the puppets around and do the voices of the different characters.Shadow plays are an ancient Chinese art. Now with TVs and films, shadow plays are not as popular as before.Wang and his friends often work very hard for little money, but they do not mind.

2018年中考英语全国各地试卷汇编专题：任务型阅读（含答案和解析(2018江苏扬州)五、任务型阅读Beyond its influence on health, not getting enough sleep can lead to car accidents or other mistakes. Here are what sleep researchers have found about how to sleep. How much sleep do we actually need? It is known that all of us naturally need no less than eight hours of sleep per night. When we sleep below six hours per 24, we’re at an increased risk of health problems. Some of us think we can make up any of those hours lost during the week on the weekends. Sadly, there is no storage system for sleep in the brain. Can we train ourselves to need less sleep? As a study in 1964, a 17-year-old boy named Randy Garden stayed awake for 264 hours. How many people could doanything close to that without dying? When you are reading this, you might say you usually get six hours of sleep and feel just fine. Sleep experts often compare people without enough sleep to drunk drivers: They don’t get behind the wheel thinking they’re probably going to kill someone. Can we drink coffee instead of sleeping? Coffee can keep us awake. Remember, too much coffee may throw off our sleep and energy cycles. So limit coffee and avoid caffeine for hour to six hours before bedtime. Does a sense of purpose connect to sleep quality?A new research suggests a kind of strong connection between purpose in life and sleep. People who have a greater sense of purpose usually have better physical and mental health, which in turn explains their higher-quality sleep. Perhaps developing a sense of purpose in life could be as useful at improving sleep as the healthy habitsabove.
