He had never acted on stage(舞台)before, and he was very excited. But some students laughed at him. “You are not funny but silly，” Ken, one of his classmates, said to his face. “No one will like what you do，” another boy also said to him, loudly.Brian couldn't understand why they were so unkind to him. For a moment, he thought about giving up the show. But he remembered how much his friends liked his jokes, and also his teachers said he was very funny.

Recently there has been a report about a woman from Australia who can remember almost every detail(细节) of all the events in her daily life.Rebecca Sharrock, 25, is one of just 80 people worldwide who have been indentified(确定) as having Highly Superior Autobiographical Memory (HSAM，超级自传体记忆症). It means she canremember every small event—which most people would forget within(在……以内) days—as if it had happened just minutes ago.“I remember my mum putting me in the driver's seat of a car and taking a picture of me when I was 12 days old，”she said. “That's my ear liest memory. I remember every day since then. I can't tell all the dates exactly because I was too young to understand calendars, but I remember what I did that very day, what the weather was like and so on.”Rebecca can also re-experience taste. If she's eating something that she doesn't like, she thinks about Black Forest cake, her favorite food, and the memory will be so strong that she can nearly “taste” it.However, sometimes her memories prove(证明) to be painful. Because they're not just events that she remembers. “When I relive(再体验) memories, the feelings return, too，” Rebecca said.“For example, I remember falling over when I was three at my grandparents' house and hurting my left knee. Talking about it now, I feel painful in my left knee.”“At night, I have to sleep with the radio/recorder and a soft light on，”she added. “If it's too dark or quiet, my mind would be filled with all these memories and I can't sleep.”()1.

What happened to Rebecca on the day when she was 3 years old?A. She was identified as having HSAM.B. Her mother put her in a car and took a picture of her.C. She started to understand calendars.D.

What is the result of having HSAM?A. She can remember every event in her daily life.B. She can re-experience taste.C. She can relive feelings.D. All the above.()5. From the passage, we can infer(推断)that________．A. HSAM can do her good, but it also brings her painB. she feels painful if she recalls her experiencesC. she can fall asleep while she is re-experiencing memoriesD. HSAM can greatly improve her living conditionsPassage 5Carlton Joseph is a fashion designer(服装设计师), but not just any fashion designer. He appears on television, he writes books, and he owns his own fashion house.Born in 1980, Carlton started designing clothes when he was eleven. His father owned a clothes store, and Carlton used to work there at the weekend. Then he did a design course at college.When he was 21, someone suggested doing a TV program. He made his first show “Carlton's Clothes” in 2004, and he wrote his first book in the same year. Since then he has written four more. Carlton got married to TV producer Susan Mills in 2005.Three months ago, Carlton started his new company. He called it “Design: Carlton”．At work Carlton always wears black trousers and a black coat, but at home, or when he goes out, he wears clothes with bright colors(red, blue and yellow). He is especially crazy about new glasses, he buys a new pair every few weeks. “I like to look diffe rent every day，” he says.Carlton started wearing glasses when he was twelve. He dyed(给……染色) his hair red when he was 18. It is still red, and this year, for the first time, he has grown a beard. “My wife likes it,_that's why” is his explanation. But his b eard is black!()1.

Most readers know that his real name was Samuel Longhorne Clemens, but how many know where the pen name “Mark Twain” came from?The answer shows Clemens' colourful early life before he became a writer. “Mark Twain” was the cry shouted on a ship when the ship entered a part of a river that was two fathoms(6 feet)deep. “Twain” is an oldfashioned way of saying “two”. Twain trained as a ship pilot on the Mississippi river for two years, a time that he wrote about in the humorous Life on the Mississippi(1883)．The famous river would become an important theme in many of his works—who could forget the journey of Huck and Jim along it in his most famous book, The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn(1884)?With little education, he had to teach himself how to write stories. Whenever possible, he would go to public libraries. There he spent much time reading and thinking, which greatly helped him with his writing.On the other hand, his life experiences gave him wonderful material to write about and attract readers. Twain wrote in a style that has been called “local colour” because it shows great knowledge of local people and their customs.This gift is very clear in the two books for which Twain is still celebrated today：The Adventures of Tom Sawyer(1876) and its follow-up The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, which many people call “The Great American Novel”．The most amazing invention in the book is the voice of Huck himself. Huck did not enjoy schooling. It shows in the way he uses language, in a spoken style. Only a master like Twain could copy the way a young southern boy talked so well.()1. What does the underlined word “gift” mean in the passage?A. Twain's talent for self-teaching.B. Twain's “local colour” writing style.C. Twain's good sense of humour.D. Twain's experiences as a ship pilot.()2. According to the passage, what is the best part of The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn?A. The deep social meaning.B. The exciting life experiences.C. The special way that Huck talks.D. The nice view of the Mississippi.()3. Which is the most suitable place in the passage for the sentence, “Twain did not come from the writer's background you might expect.”？A. At the beginning of Paragraph 2.B. At the beginning of Paragraph 3.C. At the beginning of Paragraph 4.D. At the beginning of Paragraph 5.()4. What is the passage mainly about?A. Mark Twain's career as a great writer.B. Mark Twain's interest in describing local life.C. Mark Twain's achievements in American literature field.D. Mark Twain's life experiences which influenced his writing.Passage 7Rachel Carson(1907-1964) was a pioneer of the world's environmental movement through her writing about the protection of the natural world. Her 1962 book Silent Spring made her well known by many people. It describes the harmful changes in the environment of using toxic(有害的) chemicals on farmland.Carson's career started as a biologist in the US Bureau of Fisheries. ln 1951 she published her first book, The Sea Around Us, which became a bestseller. It made her rich enough to leave her job and devote her life to writing. She was a gifted writer. Her next two books were also about the oceans and both topped the book sales lists.Carson's book Silent Spring completely changed the way America thought about nature. It painted a bleak(荒凉的) future for the whole natural world. It led to a nationwide ban(禁止) on the use of a deadly chemical called DDT, and other toxic pesticides(农药) that farmers used for their crops. Many people say the book led to the creation of America's Environmental Protection Agency.Since her death, Carson's name has continued to be connected with protecting the environment. There is now a yearly Rachel Carson Book Prize. Norway awards the Rachel Carson Prize to women who have made great contributions to the field of environmental protection. In 1980, 16 years after her death, she was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom, the highest civilian honour in America.()1. What happened to Rachel Carson in 1962?A. She started to write books.B. She gave up working as a biologist.C. Her book The Sea Around Us sold well.D. Her book Silent Spring made her famous.()2. What most probably made Rachel Carson leave her job?A. She got an award.B. She published Silent Spring.C. The Sea Around Us brought her enough money.D.

She published the book Silent Spring.B. She did a lot of researches for the US Bureau of Fisheries.C. She donated much money to the Rachel Carson Book Prize.D.

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 bu ry 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 o f 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 da ngle 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 ho pe 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 t he rest away.1. We learned from the second paragraph that the writer and his father were feeling ______.A. relaxedB. 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.

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 wi ll rest here tonight，my men,”he said. “Tomorrow we will fight one more battle. We must win or wewil l 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.

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 beg an 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 ninesoldiers 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 wrong with my bus on my way here.I had to buy a horse and made it run fast. Bad luck!

There are only a few men in all of history, who havechanged the lives of other men as much as the inventor of the first useful electric light. But Edison could never be pleased only because someone sa id 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./doc/4d11903132.html,eful dreams./doc/4d11903132.html,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 .A.how anybody enjoyed lifeB.how anybody loved workingC.why anybody loved thinkingD.why anybody was tired of life4.The last sentence in the passage means that .A.Edison was born to be a great inventorB.Edison was able to live another 100 yearsC.Edison was ready to make his 100 th inventionD.life was too short for Edison to work for human beings答案：BCDD9I’ve loved my mother’s desk since I was just tall enough to see above the top of it as mother sat doing letters. 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 g ot 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.

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 opera tion. 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.

Then he said to the three hundred students, “Who would like this ￥100 bill?” The students began to put up their hands at once.Then he said, “I am g oing to give this ￥100 to one of you, but first, let me do this.” He then made the bill into a ball. Then he said, “Who wants it now?” The hands went back into the air.“Well,” he said, “What if I do this?” and he dropped it on the floor and stepped on it. He picked up the dirty, crumpled bill and said, “Who still wants it?” Hands went back into the air.“My friends,” he said, “you have learned a valua ble lesson today. No matter (无论) what I did to the money, you still wanted it because it did not go down in value (价值). It was still worth ￥l00!”Many times in our lives, we are dropped, crumpled, and stepped on by the chances we take and the things that happen。

It?s true that male mosquito doesn?t bite(咬) and only the female mosquito bites because she needs blood to lay eggs. She is always looking for things or people she wants to bite. If she likes what she finds, she bites. But if she doesn?t like your blood, she will turn to someone else for more delicious blood. Next time a mosqui to bites you, just remember you are chosen. You?re different from the others!If the mosquito likes you, she lands on your body without letting you know. She bites you so quickly and quietly that you may not feel anything different. After she bites, you will have an itch(痒) on your body because she puts something from her mouth together with your blood. By the time the itching begins, and she has flown away.And then what happens? Well, after her delicious dinner, the mosquito feels tired. She just wants to find a place to have a good rest.

Think about all the water faucets (水龙头) in the toilet. Think about all the air conditioning in summer. Saving energy is a hot topic for such a big place!Many things at the mall use energy. Electric lights, infrared(红外感应) faucets andair-conditioners need electricity to work．One way to save energy is by keeping lights clean. More and more dust and dirt make the lights less bright.

AEmpathy lets us feel another person’s pain and drives us to help. Do any other animals feel empathy? Scientists recently found that rats(老鼠) do, too.Most people don’t like rats. In many people’s eye s, rats are only bad. But Jean Decety and his partners at the University of Chicago did an experiment. It showed that rats are kind, warm-hearted animals. They can feel each other’s pain.Scientists placed pairs of rats in plastic cages(笼子) for two weeks. During this time they got to know each other. Then they put one of the rats from each pair into a small container(容器) in the cages. The small container had a door. It was so designed as to fall to the side when the free rat touched it. Many of the trapped(困住的) rats squeaked(吱吱叫) to show their discomfort. The other rats of the pairs could see their suffering friends clearly.In most pairs, the free rats would become very worried about their friends. They kept trying to save their friends again and again throughout the month. Scientists put the rats’ favorite chocolate in the cages, but the rats didn’t eat it until they had saved their friends successfully. Scientists also found that female rats seemed to act more empathetic than male rats.“The results are the first to show that rats take action in response to another’s trouble,” Decety said. “Monkeys and chimpanzees have similar behavior. But unlike those animals, rats can be ready used in laboratory studies. They will help us to learn which parts of the brain lead to empathy and helping behavior and whether empathy is natural.”1. A person with empathy is often _____.A. kind-heartedB. cleverC. activeD. strong2. What does the underline word mean in Chinese?A.休息的B.睡着的C.死亡的D.受苦的3. Why didn’t the free rats eat the chocolate at first?A. Because they were full at that time.B. Because chocolate was not their favorite food.C. Because they wanted to save the trapped rats first.D. Because they were afraid that the chocolate was bad.4. Which of the following animals were NOT mentioned in the passage?A. Monkeys.B. Cats.C. Rats.D. Chimpanzees.5. What does the passage mainly tell us?A. Rats can feel other animals’ pai n.B. Chocolate is rats’ favorite food.C. Female rats are more empathetic than male rats.D. Rats are empathetic and can feel each other’s pain.BHave you ever had dreams about building a robot? Or putting together a spaceship? Or even seeing your face made out of chocolate? Done. All you need is a3-D printer!The possibilities of 3-D printing seem endless. All the user has to do is to designan object on the computer and choose a material to print in. The printers print in hundreds of different materials including glass, sugar and even skin! When the user presses “print”, the 3-D printer spreads the material layer(层) by layer and like magic the object is produced.The first 3-D printer was invented in 1986 by an American, Charles Hull. But 3-D printing has only become cheap enough recently for most people to use. Designers now use 3-D printing to create unusual things. The Dutch artist Dirk Vander Kooj prints furniture made from old fridges. And doctors have used 3-D printing to print human body parts! The Telegraph reported in February that scientists from Cornell Medical College even printed a man-made ear.But like a lot of new technologies, if 3-D printing gets into the wrong hands, it can bedangerous. In 2011 a group of four men in the US used 3-D printing to produce ATM skimmers (提款机盗刷器). These were placed on an ATM and stole over $400,000 from users of the ATM. It is terrible to think that criminals like them might one day use a 3-D printer to print a gun.But for better or for worse, 3-D printing has been put into u se. In a few years, you’ll probably be wondering how you could ever live without your 3-D printer!（）1. _____ invented the first 3-D printer.A. Charles HullB. Dirk Vander KoojC. A doctor called CornellD. Four men in the U.S（）2. What is the correct order for people to use a 3-D printer?A. Choose a proper material.B. Press the print button.C. The 3-D printer spreads the material.D.

Hundreds of people came to watch the end of his starvation experiment, which had become one of London’s main tourist attractions.Looking thinner and darker, 30 year-old Blaine was taken out of his box over the River Thames(泰晤士河) and sent to hospital at once. Doctors said he had to eat food slowly, or he would risk losing his life. He had been drinking only water since September 5.Blaine was brought up by his grandparents in Brooklyn, New York since he was born. He first became known as a street magician in the early 1990s. He soon found himself doing magic tricks in bars for the likes of American actor Leonardo DiCaprio and his super model friends.Over the last ten years Blaine has become famous with a combination of breathtaking magic and clever tricks aimed at getting a lot of attention.In 1999, he was buried in a coffin (棺材) for one week and, in 2000, he spent 62 hours in a giant block of ice. Last year he stood on the top of a 25-meter pillar(柱子) in the center of New York for 35 hours before jumping into a pile of boxes.“I think a lot of people are unable to accept that they’re able to do what they can do,” he said. “They don’t realize we can survive.

He had a quiet, kind voice. He took me into my new classroom and left. In front of me, thirty pairs of eyes looked at me. I knew he had told the students that I was blind. I could almost feel the question behind their eyes: “Blind” I felt the answer too: “If she’s blind, this should be good!” I heard quiet voices in a corner of the classroom. For a moment, I felt afraid. I knew at once that I had to be strong.“Class,” I said as loudly as I could. “I may be blind. But I am not foolish. Take those naughty smiles off your faces, and stop talking, please!” Of course, I could not see their faces; I just guessed that some of them were smiling. The class were quiet. They were very surprised. I knew that I had done the right thing.As the days went by, the students had more surprises. I could smell when the children were eating sweets. I could easily hear combs going through hair, students passing messages, and so on. Once I found a girl passing a message to a friend. I took the message to the teachers’ room. A teacher read it to me. On one side it said, “Do you think she can see” On the other it said, “I think so. She always knows what we’re doing.”Soon the students stopped being naughty, and started to work hard. Before long, they brought in photos of their families for me to look at.

No matter how tough the life is ,be strong and be brave.D. Being blind does not mean being foolishEWhen I was a child I never said, "When I grow up, I want to be a CEO," but here I am. When I look back on my career, I realize the road to becoming a CEO isn't a straight, clear path. In fact, no two paths are the same. But whether you want to be a boss one day or not, there's a lot to learn from how leaders rise to the top of successful companies.As this series of stories shows, the paths to becoming a CEO may be different, but the people in that position(位置) share the qualities of commitment（义务）, work ethic（道德）and a strong desire for building something new. And every CEO take risks along the way—putting your life savings on the line to start a software company or leaving a big business to be one of the first employees at a startup.I grew up in Minnesota, and learned how to be an entrepreneur（企业家）from my father, who has run a small business for almost 30 years. I went to Georgetown University and tried a lot of business activities in college with success. And I always had a dream job pattern(模式): to walk to work, work for myself and build something for consumers(顾客).I'm only 29, so it's been a quick ride to CEO. Out of college, I worked for AOL as a product manager, then moved to Revolution Health and ran the consumerproduct team. In mid-2007 I left Revolution Health and started LivingSocial with several other workmates, where I became a CEO.Career advice: Don't figure out where you want to work, or even what industry you'd like to work at. Figure out what makes you do so. What gives you a really big rush? Answer why you like things, not what you like doing. . . and then apply it to your work life. Also, just because you're graduating, don't stop learning. Read more books than you did in college. If you do, and they're not, you're really well-positioned to succeed in whatever you do.1. What can we know from the first paragraph?A. The writer hasn't achieved his childhood ambition.B. The writer thinks there is some easy way to become a CEO.C. The writer had an ambition of becoming a CEO in his childhood.D. The writer believes success stories of CEOs can be beneficial(有益的) to everybody.2. According to the writer, successful CEOs should _____.A. try not to take risksB. stay in the same businessC. have a strong sense of creativityD. save every possible penny3. What can we know about the writer from the passage?A. He started LivingSocial when he was still a student of Georgetown University.B. He used to run the consumer product team for AOL.C. His business activities at college ended up in more failure than success.D. His father had far-reaching influence on him.4. What does the underlined phrase “figure out” mean? ______.A. 断定B. 弄清 0C. 理解 0D. 领会5. Which of the following proverbs may the writer agree with according to the last paragraph?A. Well begun is half done.B. Everything comes to him who waits.C. Time and tide wait for no man.D. One is never too old to learn.参考答案A 1—5 ADCBDB 1--5 A BCD BC 1—5、CDABBD 1--5 DBBDCE 1--5DCDAD。

Scientists believe that it may be the largest dinosaur ever known. But don't be afraid: they were plant-caters.This kind of dinosaur, which is not yet named, probably once reached 131 feet in length and 80 tons in weight. Jose Luis Carballido is the leader of a team of scientists at the Egidio Feruglio Muscum. "It's as long as two trucks and heavier than 14 African elephants together in weight," Carballido said.Carballido and his team found seven huge dinosaurs among more than 200 fossils in the province of Chubut, Argentina. A local farmworker let the museum know about the fossil-filled area in 2011.Eating MachinesHow did these dinosaurs get so big? To find out, scientists like Martin Sander, at Bonn University in Germany, have studied the dinosaurs' fossils and some animals. These animals and the dinosaurs have similar features(特征). Scientists have discovered that the huge dinosaurs were built to eat.Sander says a dinosaur can grow big because of its ability to eat without chewing (咀嚼). This kind of dinosaur could cat leaves quickly without stopping to chew on them.Not chewing also influenced the dinosaur's shape. Its head could stay small and light because it didn't need to chew. Having a little head allowed the dinosaur's neck to grow very long.The long neck, says Sander, was the dinosaur's most important feature. The dinosaur could reach plants一near and far一easily. By eating quickly, dinosaurs grew to be the biggest land animals on Earth.( )13. How did the team know about the foss il-filled area?A. They found it by accident.B. Someone told them about itC.

How can a dinosaur grow so big, according to the passage?A. It can drink a lot of water.B. It can eat without chewing.C. It can cat very sl owly.D. It can find a lot of food.EHip hop or rap (说唱) music started on the street and in the clubs of the New York City in the 1970s People rap to express how they feel about their lives and problems.Would you like to rap in class? Well, actually hip hop music is played in more than10,000 schools in the US. Why? There is a new school program called "Flocabulary" in which teachers use texts and hip hop CDs to help teach different subjects. The words of the songs are ju st what students are studying. This makes learning easy and fun. Students and teachers are excited about the good results it has had on exam marks. Mr. Lee, a teacher in a high school, said, "I've used hip hop songs in class, and I have never seen my students So crazy about science! You can't imagine how well they remember what I teach! We even try to write our own songs.”Blake Harrison, a high school student, was the first person to come up with the idea of Flocabulary. The word "Flocabulary" comes from the word“flow" and "vocabulary". "Flow" is a rap word for "style", or the way a rapper says the words of a song. "Vocabulary” means the words you have to learn in a language. How did he get the idea? Well, he realized he could remember the words of a hip hop songvery easily. So, why not make lessons into songs? Today together with Alex Rappaport, a song writer, Blake produces hip hop songs for math, science and English.( )17.

As one of the best-selling books in history, it has been sold as many as 200 million copies in 253 languages and dialects(方言). Now, around seventy years after the birth of the book, an American director has found a way to make it into a 3D animated film（动画片）.The book tells the story of a pilot, called The Aviator, who crashes(撞击)into the desert and meets a young prince there. However, in the film, the story starts years after the crash when The Aviator is much older. He has got a new neighbor called The Little Girl, whose mother wants her to get ready to enter the grown-up world. Slowly The Aviator shares his story with The Little Girlby writing it down and sending her a page at a time. The pages are complete with the pictures in the book, speaking about his time in the desert and taking The Little Girl to an amazing world where anything is possible.China is the first country in the world to see the film in two versions一in Chinese and English. The film shows The Little Girl's life and tells The Little Prince's story at the same time in a beautiful way.Huang Lei, who voices the film together with his 9-year-old daughter, says the film is like a childhood dream which is lost by most adults in this stressed-out society.“The most touching part is that ever y one of us was a good-natured kid like the Little Prince, and it's a pity that this good characteristic (品质)goes away as tithe flies,” he says.根据短文内容，选择最佳答案。

2019年中考英语阅读理解冲刺练习5篇(名师精选全国真题+详细解析答案，值得下载打印练习)【能力选练】 A（2019中考选练）If you want to become a fluent(流利的)English speaker you should take some advice: There are four skills in learning English. They are reading, listening, speaking, and writing. The mostimportant thing you must remember is that if you want to improve your speaking and writing skillsyou should first master the skills of reading and listening.Read as much as you can. But your reading must be active. It means that you must think about the meaning of the sentence, the meanings of the unfamiliar words, etc. There is no need for you to pay much attention to grammars or try to understand all the unfamiliar words you come across, but the fact that you see them for the first time and recognize them whenever you see them, for example in other passages or books, is enough. It would be better to prepare yourself a notebook so you can write down the important words or sentences in it_As for listening, there are two choices: besides reading, you can listen every day for about 30 minutes. You can only pay attention to your reading and become skillful at your reading, then youcan catch up on your listening. Since you have lots of inputs in your mind, you can easily guess what the speaker is going to say. This never means that you should not practice listening.For listening you can listen to cartoons or some movies that are specially made forchildren. Their languages are easy. Or if you are good at listening you can listen to VOA or BBC programs every day. Again the thing to remember is being active in listening and preferably taking some notes.If you follow these pieces of advice, your speaking and writing will improve automatically,and you can be sure that with a little effort they will become perfect.1. According to the author, which should you improve first among the four skills?A. Reading and writing.B. Reading and listening.C. Writing and speaking.D. Speaking and listening.2. The underlined phrase "come across" in Paragraph 2 can probably be replaced by "_______".A. meet by accidentB. discoverC. find on purposeD. look for3. The author seems to agree with the view that_______.A. everyone should listen to VOA or BBC programs every dayB. you needn't practice listening if you keep on reading every dayC. being good at reading is helpful in improving your listeningD. you should take notes of whatever you are hearing4. The passage is mainly about how to_______.A. choose suitable listening materialsB. deal with new words in readingC. read as many English books as possibleD. become fluent in speaking and writing English参考答案BACD【能力选练】 B中考英语阅读理解****浪费可耻Waste can be seen everywhere in the school. Some students ask for more food than they can eat and others often forget to turn off the lights when they leave the classroom. They say they can afford these things. But I don’t agree with them.Waste can bring a lot of problems. Although China is rich in some resources(资源), we are shortof(缺乏) others, for example, fresh water(淡水). It is reported that we will have no coal(煤) or oil to use in 100 years. So if we go on wasting our resources, what can we use in the future and where can we move? Think about it. I think we should say no to the students who waste things every day. Everybody should stop wasting as soon as possible.In our everyday life, we can do many things to prevent waste from happening, for example, turn off the water taps(水龙头) when we finish washing, turn off the lights when we leave the classroom, try not to order more food than we need, and so on. Little by little, everything will be changed. Wastecan be stopped one day, if we do our best.◆根据以上短文内容，然后从每题所给的四个选项中选择最佳选项。

protect other members of the species（物种）in the wild．It's hard work to look after these animals．Their needs often change according to different hours of the day．So Amy must depend on her science knowledge and good number sense to help her make the right decisions all day long．Even though dolphins （海豚）spend much of their time underwater，they aremammals （哺乳动物）．This means that they must come to

graduation from Columbia，the family ran into some money problems and I felt it was my duty to leave college and take a job．That was why I took a business job，which I always think of as the wasted

Think about all the water faucets (水龙头) in the toilet. Think about all the air conditioning in summer. Saving energy is a hot topic for such a big place!Many things at the mall use energy.

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 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 way she chose that she didforgive(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 kn ew 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.
