B 2Linda and David have traveled by air from London to Sydney, Australia.Linda has promised(答应)her mother that she will ring her to let her know that they have arrived safely.This is something she had done ever since she was a child. David thinks it is not a good idea to ring so far,to spend too much,and to say so little."If there were an accident.” He says," aT hey’d know soon enough.Bad news travels fast."But Linda has promised that she would ring.”However,” she says, "it doesn’t cost much when you just think that it's the other side of the world.It’s only six pence per second (每秒六便士)。

””If you’re on that telephone for less than one minute,I’ll eat my hat,” David says,"And one minute’s nearly four pounds(英镑)."”That’s no more than you'd pay for a new hat," Linda answers.She has asked the man at the hotel (旅馆)desk to get her the number。

Some are native(当地的) to Australis and can only be found there. There are more than 500 animals there, including kangaroos, koalas(考拉)and crocodiles(鳄鱼). They are kept in their natural environment.

It was very exciting to be so close to them. There were koalas there too. They looked very cuddly(令人想拥抱的). Although we couldn't carry koalas, I could take a photo with one. It is a wonderful souvenir(纪念品) of my holiday in Sydney.The Wildlife Park has plenty of freshwater crocodiles and saltwater crocodiles. Some of them are very big and scary(吓人的)with huge teeth! I did not want to get too close to them. There was also a bird show. The keepers(饲养员)showed us different species(种类)of birds. I saw an old parrot(鹦鹉). It could "talk" and made a great impression on me.I enjoy the trip very much. There was so much to see.(1)The Wildlife Park is _________.A. in SydneyB. in CairoC. in AthensD. in Rome(2)What is a wonderful souvenir of the writer's holiday?A. A parrot that could talk.B.

The accommodation wasn't wonderful,but we had everything we needed (beds,blankets,food),and we were pleased to be out of the city and in the fresh air.On Saturday morning we met the other ten members of our group. Cameron had come along with two friends,Kevin and Simon,while sisters Carole and Lynn had come with Amanda. There were some other members I didn't know. We had come from different places and none of us knew the area.We knew we were going to spend the weekend outdoors,but none of us was sure exactly how. Half of us spent the morning caving while the others went rock-climbing and then we changed at lunchtime. Matt and I went to the caves(岩洞) first. Climbing out was harder than going in,but after a good deal of pushing,we were out at last. Though we were covered with mud,we were pleased and excited by what we'd done.根据短文内容,选择正确答案。

初三英语阅读理解百战精炼(一)A wallet misplaced during a romantic embrace has been returned to its forgetful owner after 55 years.Two classic car collectors from the US state of Idaho found the wallet after it fell out of the back of a vintage (旧式的)car they were planning to restore.After an Internet search they found and contacted the owner, Glenn Goodlove.Mr.Goodlove said he probably lost the wallet in the back seat of his 1946 Hudson car while kissing a girl when he was home on leave from the US Navy.Jon Beck, 61, and Chuck Merrill, 72, b ought the now-vintage vehicle in Idaho after placing an ad in a local newspaper to buy a classic car in need of restoration.Driving the car home after buying it, the collectors stopped at a restaurant and saw something from below the back seat."Like a couple of kids, we thought we had a goldmine," Mr.Beck said.Instead, they found some small change - the leather wallet held a $10 bill, Mr.Goodlove's military ID, his social security card, his driver's licen ce and several jewellery receipts from 1952.But they were all in the name of Glenn Putnam.After searching online, Mr.Beck discovered that Mr.Putnam had since changed his name to Glenn Goodlove and moved to San Diego, California.He called Mr.Goodlove, asking to speak to a man who used to drive a '46 Hudson."There was a silence for about 15 seconds," Mr.Beck told the Twin Falls Times-News."Then he said, 'Who is that?'" M r.Goodlove, now 75, says he did not even r emember losing the wallet, but the find has brought memories of his youth in Everett, Washington, flooding back."I could see the house and the car and the town and all the good stuff from living there," he said."They've been flowing ever since he talked to me."56.The lost wallet contained all the following EXCEPT ______.A.some money B.some jewelleryC.some receipts D.some cards57.Which of the following happened last?A.The vintage car was purchased.B.An advertisement was placed.C.Mr.Goodlove's name was changed.D.Some personal belongings were found.58.What difference did the wallet make to Glenn?A.He gained unexpected wealth.B.He got back his lost car as well.C.He improved his poor memory a lot.D.He recalled what had long been forgotten.59.The most proper title for the passage is ______.A.A Forgetful Wallet Owner B.Two Car C ollectors and a Good DeedC.Price Paid for Romance D.Lost Wallet Found after 55 Years阅读理解答案:56—59 BDDD初三英语阅读理解百战精炼(二)Writing being largely a self-taught occupation, texts on how to get about it -though great in number- seldom are of much use.You try, and fail.Then try again, and perhaps fail not quite so grievously.Until at last, if you have some gift for it, the failures become less frequent, or at any rate less noticeable.It is this ability to conceal one's defects(瑕疵)that passes, finally, for accomplishment.Along the way there are the discouragements of unkind criticism, outright rejection, nagging insecurity and irregular inability to meet debts.It is uncommon, therefore, to come across a book containing advice of much practical value for anyone toying with the dangerous idea of staring on a writing l ife.A friend recently loaned me such a book, however - one I wish I'd had the luck to read years ago, and which I would commend to any young person bent on making a career of words.It is the autobiography of the English novelist Anthony Trollope, first published in 1883, the year after hi s death.Needing s ome means to support himself, Trollope at age 19 signed on as a junior clerk in the British postal service.He was at his desk at 5:30 each morning to write for three hours.And he remained in the mail service 33 years, long after reputation and prosperity had come to him.Now, what of his advice?1.For safety's sak e, a rm yourself with some other skills, some other line of work to fall back on.That way, failure at writing, though the disappointment may be keen, will not mean utter ruin.2.Do not depend overly much on inspiration.Writing is a craft, which Trollope compared to the craft of shoemaking.The shoemaker who has just turned out one pair of his work sets to work immediately on the next pair.3.Have a story to tell, but, more important t han that, people it with characters who will speak and move as living creatures in the reader's mind.Without memorable characters, story alone is nothing.4.Meet your deadlines.Life is endlessly "painful and troublesome" for writers who can't finish their work on time.5.Do not be inflated by praise.And, above all, do not be crushed by criticism.6.Understand the risks of writing for a living."The career, when successful, is pleasant enough certainly; but when unsuc cessful, it is of all careers the most painful."60.This passage mainly di scusses _____.A.the difficulties and risks of making a career of wordsB.the uselessness of instructions in writing manualsC.the autobiography of the 19th century English novelist Anthony TrollopeD.sound advice provided in a Trollope's autobiography61.From the context we can figure out that the phrase "pass for" in Paragraph 3 means _____.A.focus on B.be regarded as C.be equal to D.lie in62.According to the author, writing _____.A.is basically a self-taught occupation and few instructions are of much practical useB.is a "trial and error" process and it does not count whether you have the gift or notC.for a living is the most pleasant of all careers, full of praise and enjoymentD.sometimes provides good hopes of winning public praise and escaping poverty63.From the passage we may infer that the author is most probably _____.A.an instructor of writing B.a writerC.an educator D.a publisher阅读理解答案:60—63DBAB初三英语阅读理解百战精炼(三)Schools have been blamed for giving kids access to soda in vending machines (自动售货机).B ut new data suggest that school soft drink sales may not be an important factor in how much soda kids drink.In the current issue of The Journal of Nutrition Education and Behavior, researchers compared soda consumption among nearly 500 students in Maine who attended seven schools over two school years.Four of the schools cut back on soft drink availability at the schools, while three of the schools made no changes.All the students were drinking less soda by the end of the study period, but there were no meaningfu l differences in overall soft drink consumption among the different schools.The data suggest that limiting soft drink availabi lity at school doesn't result in meaningful changes in drink consumption patterns.While there were no changes in overall soda consumption, there was a notable shift in diet soda drinking among girls.If the school cut back on soda availability, girls were less likely to drink diet soda, compared to girls in schools that made no changes.The data are the latest to suggest that schools may not play as big of a role in kids' poor eating habits as widely believed.Last year, The American Journal of Public Health p ublished a provocative (引起争论的)study showing that childhood weight problems often get worse in the summer, when kids are out o f school.Data from kindergarteners and first graders found that body mass index (指数)increased two to three times as fast in summer as during the regular school year.Minority children were especially at risk, as were children who were already overweight.Even children who were too thin and needed to gain weight appeared to have better eating habits during the school year.They actually gained more weight while in school andless in the summer.Even so, much of the focus on childhood nutrition and obesity (肥胖)remains in the nation 's schools.Today, The Times reported that even the school bake sale is disappearing as districts impose strict standards on the food served on school grounds.64.What can be learned from The Journal of Nutrition Education and Behavior?A.Soft drink remains a problem in schools.B.Girls tend to consume less soda at school.C.Soft drinks may not be to blame for eating problems.D.Vending machines are not available in all schools.65.Better eating habits may be best developed _____ _.A.during summer B.on schooldaysC.with less soda availability D.in attempts for weight-gain66.The writer voices his opinion by ______.A.conducting scientific research B.comparing two journalsC.criticizing wrong beliefs D.referring to ready data67.Which of the following can best summarize the passage?A.Schools are to bl ame for kids' nutrition problems.B.Schools have made changes for a better reputation.C.Kids' po or eating habit has little to do with schools.D.A lot has been done regarding kids' nutrition and obesity.阅读理解答案:64-67CBDC初三英语阅读理解百战精炼(四)KISSI HEALTH-BEAUTY CENTERWith a busy life and job, pres sure can make you look tired and aged.Kissi Health-Beauty Center gives classes, makes training plans

widely used by celebrities or public figures who wish to publish their autobiographies (自传).The degree of involvement of the ghostwriter in nonfiction writing projects ranges from minor to significant.Various sources explain the role of the ghostwriter and how competent (能胜任的)writers can get this kind of work.In some cases, a ghostwriter may be called in just to clean up, edit, and polish a rough draft of an autobiography or a "how-to" book.In other cases, the ghostwriter will write an entire book or article based on information, stories, notes, and an outline, interviews with the celebrity or public figure.The credited authors also indicate to the ghostwriter what type of style, tone, or "voice" they want in the book.Celebrity books are usually ghostwritten in the first perso n (I did this and that)or the third person (David Pardon asked the group to recommend someone etc.).In some cases, such as with some "how-to" books, diet guides, or cookbooks, a book will be entirely written by a ghostwriter, and the celebrity (e.g.a well-known musician or sports star)will be credited as author.Publishing companies use this method to increase the marketability of a book by associating it with a celebrity or well-known figure.In several countries before elections, candidates employ ghostwriters to produce autobiographies for them so as to gain visibility and exposure.Two of John F.Ke nnedy's bo oks were almost entirely ghostwritten.Former President Ronald Reagan also released a ghostwritten autobiography.A consultant or career-switcher may pay to have a book ghostwritten on a topic in their professional area, to establish or enhance their credibility as an "expert" in their field.For example, a su ccessful salesperson hopi ng to become an inspiring speaker on selling may pay a ghostwriter to write a book on sales techniques.Often this type of book is published in the vanity press, which means that the author is paying to have the book published.This type of book is typically given away to potential clients (客户)as a promotional tool, rather than being sold in bookstores.72.A ghostwriter does all the following EXCEPT ______ for his client, according to the passage.A.correct a piece of writing B.write a complete bookC.improve a written article D.interview a celebrity73.By using "this method" (paragraph 3), the writer means ______ .A.celebrities may help to increase salesB.celebrities may shift into ghostwritersC.authors may sometimes become celebr itiesD.celebrities may pay publishers for promotion74.It is implied in the passage that ______.A.vanity presses are illegalB.ghostwriters work behind the sceneC.boo ks by ghostwriters don't sellD.celebrities can't do without ghostwriters75.Which of the following is NOT mentioned about ghostwriters?A.People who employ them.B.Responsibilities they take on.C.Challenges their work involves.D.Reasons why they ghostwrite.阅读理解答案:72-75 DABC中考英语阅读理解练习:Christmas EveChristmas Eve means a warm get-together with friends,a candlelight dinner,or perhaps a celebration at a pub(酒馆)for students.But,for Cai Yingjie,the night has a different meaning:helping beggars(乞丐)and the homeless(people without homes).Cai,who is a student in journalism at Tsinghua,could be found at Beijing's Wudaokou Light Railway Station that special evening. When she saw an old beggar,she took the cold,rough hands of the woman with her warm,clean hands,and gave the woman some warm bread and helped her put on a pair of new gloves(手套).The woman was surprised for a few seconds,then burst into tears,saying "for the first time I feel respected(尊重)".Cai said,"A beggar's life is very hard. That's why I want to help them."Cai was one of 14 Tsinghua students spending Christmas Eve among the poor.They walked in the cold wind along the streets from 4 to 7 pm on Friday,visiting 15 beggars in Beijing's Haidian District.They brought bread and gloves with them,and stopped to greet beggars and offer them some of the warm food.Each beggar greeted them with a look of surprise."I know the activity can't help much,but it's meant to show our respect and care for beggars and the homeless who have been neglected for so long,"said Sun,head of the group.“And Christmas is a good time for that.”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。

So far, I like New York and my school. I have three classes a day.

For the next 10 minutes,the room was full of her shouting about the expensive wallpaper.She punished the littl e boy for his bad behavior.Then,she headed for the living room to see what happened.As she saw the wall,her eyes fl ooded with tears at once.It said“I l ove Mommy”and was su rrounded with a heart.Well, the wallpaper remained,just as she found it,with an empty picture frame hung around it.A reminder to her and to all:Take time to read the handwriting on the wall.So when you are sure that something goes wrong,have you ever had any doubt that there might be a misunderstanding?

Don’t worry just startsl owly working through some of the pages in the sections that are most interesting and useful to you. The more English you read and listen to, the more you will learn.Best wishes, Jo (Learn English Teens Team)8 April, 2021—19:22 Forever-in-dreamThank you for these tips. They help me very much. But I’m taking an English exam (speaking)this Friday and I’m a bit scared about it. I can’t stop being nervous, so in this condition I always say something wrong with l ong pauses(停顿). Can you suggest me anything to deal with it?9 April, 2021—10:14 JoHi Forever-in-dream,Thanks for your comment(评论). OK, first thing to remember is that everyone gets nervous for speaking exams. It’s totally natural to feel nervous. Also, it’s normal to make some mistakes. The examiners will not expect you to do the exam perfectly and they will get a good idea about your level of English even if you make some mistakes. If you make a mistake and you realize right away, then go back and say it again. We all d o this sometimes even when we are speaking our native(本土的)language. Also it’s normal to pause and think when you’re speaking in your own language and in a foreign language, so try not to worry about that.So, take a d eep breath before you start the exam and remember that these feelings are natural. In fact feeling a bit nervous sometimes helps you to d o your best.Good luck! Jo(Learn English Teens Team)24.Which of the foll owing is TRUE according to the passage?A.If you want to improve English, you shoul d read and listen to more English.B.You cannot go back and say it again if you make a mistake in a speaking exam.C.You will get bad grades if you have a pause and think in your own language.D.Feeling a little nervous always helps you to d o your best during an exam.25.Which of the foll owing does Jo think is normal?A.Making mistakes. B.Listening to others.C.Having an exam. D.Speaking English.26.What can we infer(推断)from the passage?A.Jo comes from the United Kingdom.B.Jo, Hu Bo and Forever-in-dream are good friends.C.Hu Bo and Forever-in-dream are good at speaking English.D.Jo’s job is to help teens with English and answer their questions.27.Where might you see these messages?A.On TV. B.In a book. C.On a website. D.On a newspaper.When you l earn English, you'll find it not easy to translate a sentence, word by word, into Chinese. Take the sentence “Get cold feet.” for example. If you look up each word in the dictionary, one at a time, what is your translation? It must be a wrong sentence in your own language. If you want to get the right answer, you need read more information or ask your teacher for help. Finally, you can get it-“Feel afraid and stay where you are.”Languages don't just have different sounds and they are different in many ways. It's important to master the rul es for word order in the study of English, too. If the speakers put words in different orders, the listeners may understand the speakers' sentences in different ways. When the order of words in an English sentence is changed, the meaning of the sentence doesn't change. For example, “I have seen the film already” “I have already seen the film.”But sometimes the meaning of the sentence will change if the ord er of words in an English sentence is changed. For example, “She only likes apples.” “Only she likes apples.”English is a foreign language, which is spoken by peopl e all over the world. When you are learning English, you must do your best to get the spirit of the language and use it as the English speaker d oes.28.When we translate an English sentence, what shoul d we d o?A.Look up each word in the dictionary and translate it word by word.B.Connect the meaning of every word with Chinese.C.Try to say anything in Chinese.D.Read more information or ask teachers for help.29.If the speakers put the order of words differently, the listeners ________.A.can master the rules for word ord er B.can't guess the changeC.may misunderstand the meaning D.may not und erstand the sounds 30.“She only likes apples.” is ________ “Only she likes apples.”A.different from B.the same as C.changed by D.spoken by 31.Which of the foll owing is TRUE according to the passage?A.“Get cold feet.” means “Feel afraid and run away.”B.It's easy to master the rules for word order in the study of English.C.If the order of words in English sentences is changed, the meaning of the sentence may change.D.When you learn English, you shouldn't get the spirit of the language.32.Where is the passage probably from?A.A travel magazine. B.A storybook.C.A language learning website. D.The CD player instructions.Language students often think they have memory probl ems. They worry because they can't remember words. In fact, the probl em usually isn't with their memory. The probl em is with how they study.To remember words better, you need to understand how memory works. There are two kinds of memory: short-term and l ong-term. When you see, hear, or read something, it goes first into short-term memory. But short-term memory lasts for only a few seconds. You will only remember something longer if it goes into l ong-term memory. Your long-term memory is like a very big library with many, many books. And like a library, it's organized. When you put away a book or memory you can't just leave it anywhere. You have to choose a place where you can find it again.How can you do this with vocabulary? The answer is to work with the word and think about the word in new ways. You can d o this by writing new sentences that includ e it. Even better, you can invent a littl e story about the word, with peopl e or places that you know. Another way is to make a picture in your mind with the word. For example, if the word is height, you can think of the tall est person you know and try to guess his or her height. All of these activities are good ways to think about words. They make the meaning of words stronger in your l ong-term memory. And they give a way to find a word when you need it. 33.In the writer's opinion, students can't remember words because ________.A.they have memory problems B.they are too worriedC.they don't use a proper way D.they d on't like to study34.Which is TRUE about memory according to the passage?A.Short-term memory is seld om used.B.What we see goes into l ong-term memory first.C.We will forget a word soon if it goes into short-term memory.D.We will never forget a word if it goes into l ong-term memory.35.The underlined(划线的)part in Paragraph 2 means l ong-tern memory ________. A.works like a well-organized libraryB.provides any book you wantC.leaves memory anywhereD.keeps many books like a large library36.This passage mainly tells us about ________.A.students' language probl ems in studyB.how to make the meaning of words strongerC.short-term and l ong-term memoryD.how to improve ways to remember wordsHomework is a probl em for students all over the world. As a student, you have a l ot of homework to do every day. It's a major part of a student's schooldays. It's the best way to review what you have l earned in class. And it helps you und erstand important concepts(概念).Luckily, there are several things you can do to make homework less diffiicult.Be sure you understand the homeworkWrite your homework d own in your notebook if you need to. Don't be afraid to ask questions about it. It's much easier to ask the teacher during or after class than to try to remember later that night!Use your time at schoolMany schools have study halls. It is d esigned to all ow stud ents to study on their own. It's more interesting to play with your friends. But the more homework you finish at school, the less you’ll have to d o that night.Take a breakIt's difficult to hold your attention for too l ong. So take some breaks while doing your homework. Siting for too long without relaxing will make you feel very tired. Taking a15-minute break every hour is a good idea for most peopl e.Make a planIf you d on't finish your homework at school, think about how much you have left, so you can budget your time. Most students have between 1 hour and 3 hours of home-work a night. If it's a heavy homework day, you'll need to spend more time on it. It's a good idea to make a homework timetabl e, especially when you want to enjoy sports or other activities. 37.The first paragraph is mainly about_____A.why homework is hard to d oB.why students should do homeworkC.how much homework students shoul d d oD.when students shoul d d o homework38.You shoul d d o the foll owing things EXCEPT____A.writing your homework d own in your notebookB.trying to finish your homework at schoolC.d oing homework without taking a breakD.making a plan for your homework39.The underlined word "budget"in the passage means"______".A.plan B.save C.waste D.kill40.The writer advises students to______if the homework is heavy.A.do l ess homework at nightB.do other activities firstC.take a break and do some choresD.make a homework timetabl e41.Which of the foll owing is the best title for the passage?A.Too much homework means too much pressureB.Students shoul d learn to relaxC.Ways to make homework easierD.Problems students meet when d oing homeworkHow l ong are you willing to wait for a webpage to open before you start to l ose your patience? Half a minute? A few seconds? Googl e engineers have discovered that even 400 milliseconds―as short as the blink of an eye―is too l ong for most Internet users.A millisecond is one thousandth of a second. People hardly notice such a small time difference, but it does cause them to stop searching, reported The New York Times. “Without question, n obody likes to wait,” said Arvind Jain, a Google engineer. “Every millisecond matters.”Nowadays, millions of smart-phones and computers are continually gathering and sending out information. With so many peopl e d ownloading maps, sports vid eos, news andre staurant recommendations, you can get digital “traffic jams”. Meanwhile, users are expecting faster and faster service.Google found that if one website is 250 milliseconds sl ower than another website, then people will visit it l ess often. This is why technol ogy companies are now competing to be the fastest. Googl e said people d o expect different things from different websites because they realize not all l oading times are the same. For exampl e, a person will be more patient waiting for a video to load than for a search result.Even so, four out of five online users will click away if a video takes too l ong to l oad. This makes it difficult for vid eo websites to choose between the quality of pictures and fast l oadingtimes.Trying to get a higher speed has always been part of the history of the Internet. In the 1990s, when the Worl d Wid e Web first started to become popular, it was very crowded andsl ow; people call ed it the “Worl d Wide Wait”. But engineers managed to fight the problem with new inventions. They laid a lot of fiber optic cables (光缆)for sending in high speed; they improved software so it woul d work more smoothly; they placed computer servers all around the world to be nearer to users; all this increased speed.Nowadays we can enjoy much faster Internet. Famous search engines such as Google and Microsoft’s Bing usually find search results in less than asecond.____________________________________________________42.The report from The New York Times suggests thatA.A millisecond is one thousandth of a second.B.400 milliseconds is not so l ong for most Internet users.C.A millisecond has nothing to do with the Internet speed.D.A millisecond really makes a difference to the Internet users.43.The engineers did something to improve the speed, including _____.a. making software work more smoothlyb. laying a number of fiber optic cabl es insidec. placing computer servers throughout the worl dd. developing the quality of pictures on the InternetA.a b c B.b c d C.a c d D.a b d44.Which of the foll owing is true according to the passage?A.The quality of pictures comes first for video websites.B.Google is 250 milliseconds sl ower than other websitesC.Microsoft’s Bing is the fastest engine the world nowD.Peopl e are more likely to wait for l oading films than maps45.What d oes the underlined sentence mean?A.Internet users are willing to see more search engines set upB.Google and Microsoft’s Bing should help find the searching resultsC.These companies shoul d mind their steps, or they will break d own soon.D.These companies need to catch up with the devel oping needs of Internet users 46.What can be the best title of this passage?A.Don’t make me “www.wait”.B.Search engines work faster.C.Traffic jams keep us waiting.D.The WWW becomes popular.Green is an important col or in nature. It is also the col or of most growing plants. Sometimes the word green means young, fresh and growing. Sometimes it describes something that is not yet ripe (成熟的) or finished. For exampl e, a greenhorn is someone who has no experience, who is new to a situation, in the fifteenth century, a greenhorn was a young cow or ox whose horns had not yet devel oped. A century or so later, a greenhorn was a sol dier who had not yet had any experience in battle. By the eighteenth century, a greenhorn had the meaning it has today—a person who is new in a job.Someone who has the ability-to grow plants well is said to have a green thumb .The expression comes from the early 1900s. A person with a green thumb seems to have a magic touch that makes plants grow quickly and well. You might say that the woman next door has a green thumb if her gard en continues to grow long after your plants have died.The Green Revolution is the name given some years ago to the development of new kinds of rice and other grains. The new plants produced much larger crops. The Green Revolution was the result of hard work by agricultural scientists who had green thumbs.Green is also the col or used to describe the powerful emotion, jealousy(嫉妒). The green-eyed monster is not a frightening creature from outer space. It describes the unpleasant feeling a person has when someone has something he wants. A young man may suffer from the green-eyed monster if his girlfriend begins going out with someone else. Or, that green-eyed monster may affect your friend if you get a pay raise and she does not. 47.From the first paragraph, we can conclud e(得出结论) that ________.A.a greenhorn refers to (指的是) a horn of a young cow or oxB.a word has different meanings in the same century.C.the language devel ops with time going byD.a greenhorn means a soldier who hasn’t had any experience in battl e today 48.If a person has a green thumb, he or she probably ________.A.suffers from an illness in the thumb B.does well in growing plants C.has a thumb in green color D.has wond erful magic and energy 49.If Jane has a beautiful dress that Mary likes very much, ________A.Jane may suffer from the green-eyed monsterB.Mary is probably a girl with a green thumbC.Jane is probably call ed a greenhorn.D.Mary may suffer from the green-eyed monster50.Which of the foll owing statements is NOT true according to the passage? A.In about the 16th century, a greenhorn meant an experienced soldier. B.The Green Revolution may have some connection with green thumbs.

外研版英语九年级下册阅读理解、完形填空试题及答案2If you say the world, “communication”, most people think of words and sentences. Although these are very important, we communicate with more than just spoken and written words. We also use body language.We use body language when we are introduced to strangers. Europeans and Americans shake hands. They do this with the right hand—the strongest hand for most people. If our right hand is busy greeting someone, it cannot be holding a gun. So the gesture is saying, “I trust you. Look! I’m not carrying a gun.” If you shake hands with someone, you show that you trust them.In China, when we greet someone, we put the right hand over the left and bow slightly. Indians join their hands and bow their heads in respect. In all of these examples, the hands are busy with the greeting and cannot hold a gun. American youths often greet each other with theAnthony H., a second grader in Palmdale, learned about Operation Smile on TV.

In the northern part, the black bear is actually gray or white in color.Black bears are the smallest of all American bears, changing in leangth from five to six feet, weighing from three hundred to five hundred pounds. Their eye and ears are not as good as their sense of smell.Like all bears, the black bear is timid, clumsy, and rarely dangerous. But if attacked, most can climb trees at great speeds. When angry or frightened, it is a frightening enemy.Black bears feed on leaves, herbs, fruit, insects, fish, and even larger animals. One of the most interesting features of the black bear is its winter sleep. It didn’t sleep in witner.Most black bears live alone, except during the mating season. They prefer to live in caves. Baby bears are born in January or February, and they still stay with their mother until they are fully grown or about one and a half years old.

Author Debra Fine believes that learning to make “small talk” can be helpful. She explains how to do in her new book, The Fine Art of Small Talk.She visits The Early Show to talk about it. The following are a few of her words of advice: Greet People Warmly! Use Names“Be sure to ask if you don’t remember someone’s name,”Fine says. “And, be prepared to introduce people to each other.” It’s also important to smile and be the first to say hello.Show an Interest! Dig DeeperFine would like everybody to avoid asking questions that just lead to closed answers. “How is your day?” is one. You’ll never know how someone’s day is unless you dig deeper. You could say, “what is going on at work today?” This kind of question will bring a more detailed, thoughtful answer, and you can follow up with another question. You have to actually be interested in the other person to have a good conversation.Prepare for Conversations“Before going anywhere you need to make sure you have two or three things to talk about,”Fine says, “It only takes a couple of minutes to prepare. The worst time to think of what to say is when you actually have to say something. You can talk about current events or what you already know about the person. But you have to be prepared.”Stop Being an AdvisorThere’s a real temptation in the course of conversation to give someone you advice. Never do that. “No one asks for advice,” Fine says. “They just want to be heard. You don’t have to solve people’s problems in your conversations.”( )1.

The world has changed a lot in the last 150 years, but we humans are driven by the same basic needs as we were 150 years ago: food and sleep, and the feeling of being respected and loved.Now, what has affected most people around the world in everyday life is the telephone, electricity, radio, television, computer, car and the Internet. Since there is still much to do in these areas, we will still have to work on them at least for the next 150 years.Why should we predict the future? First, because we need to think about what kind of future we would like for ourselves and to pass on to the next generation. Then because we need to know what decisions we need to make today because they will give results in the future.What should we do to make the future great? The winner in life is not the one with the most money when he dies; the winner is the person who sleeps best at night. If you cannot do much for new inventions or new technology, you can do something for the basic needs of people. In order to feel good about yourself and the people around you, show them the love and respect that they need. This will help you to sleep and enjoy a bright future.1. What are the basic needs of humans according to the passage?Food and sleep, and the feeling of being respected and loved.2. How long will we have to work on the telephone, electricity, radio, television, computer, car and the Internet?At least next 150 years.3.

It was said that he was blind, but he was also 1 and the greatest writer in Greece. He was the writer of Homer’s Epic poem, 2 is made up of two parts—The Iliad and The Odyssey. The Iliad was mainly about the Trojan War that broke out 3 Troy and Greece. The prince of Troy, named Paris, went 4 Greece once. He fell in love with the queen of Greece and 5 her away. That was why the Greeks started the war. The Odyssey was mainly about Odysseus. He was the hero during the Trojan War. He thought of the idea of 6 a Trojan horse.Homer’s Epic mainly recorded the Trojan War and the adventure that happened at sea from the twenty-first century BC to 7 century BC. Most of the stories in Homer’s Epic were oral stories. Homer’s Epic was the greatest written work in Greece. It was the foundation of Greek moral concepts. Some people say Homer’s Epic was mostly about Trojan War, 8 , in fact, only around 60 percent of it 9 about the war. We don’t know why he suddenly stopped writing about the Trojan War, either.

It is said that traffic lights have a long and interesting history.In 1868, the first traffic lights appeared at a crossing in London. The light came from burning a coal gas. Unfortunately, they explored after being used for only 23 days. At that time a man was on duty near the traffic lights and he lost his life in the explosion. Traffic lights weren’t used again until 1914. People started to replace coal gas with electricity.Nowadays in England, in order to make the traffic smoother and reduce pollution, the government encourages people to travel by bus. In some cities, the bus drivers have special remote controls. When they come to crossings, they can control the traffic lights by themselves. The population in the Repblic of San Marino is only about twenty thousand, but there are five thousand vehicles. To everyone’s surprise, there aren’t any traffic lights there. As a result of good road design and scientific methods of managing traffic, the traffic is quite smooth.Now, Moscow is getting ready to set up traffic lights that can speak.

人教版九年级英语阅读理解习题二(含答案)

人教版九年级英语阅读理解习题二(含答案)All living things need energy to live and grow. This energy comes first from the sun. Plants use water and sunlight to make their own food. Animals can not make their own food, and they eat plants. Other animals then eat the plant eaters.A food chain shows what eats what. It might show that zebras eat grass and then lions eat zebras.Lions also eat other animals. Zebras eat other kinds of plants. So it takes more than one food chain to show how lions and zebras get their energy.A food web shows how food chains work together. From it we can see how energy moves from plants to animals.Plants and animals that live in hot, dry deserts depend on water as well as food. Creosote bushes have small leaves that hold water. Their seeds provide food and water for kangaroo rats. Kangaroo rats don’t need to drink water. They get all the water they need from the plants they eat. Kangaroo rats keep cool by coming out only at night to look for food. Ringtail cats also come out only at night. Ringtail cats hunt and eat kangaroo rats. Coyotes eat both the kangaroo rats and the ringtail cats.Nothing is wasted in a food wed. Vultures eat dead animals. Vultures are scavengers. Scavengers do not hunt and kill other animals to get food. They eat animals that are already dead. When a ringtail cat or a coyote dies, it makes a meal for the vultures. Scavengers do an important job in keeping the environment clean.1. Where does the energy that living things need first come from?A. Animals.B. Plants.C. The sun.D. Plant eaters.2. Why do ringtail cats come out only at night?A. Because they are afraid of coyotes.B. Because they are shy animals.C. Because it is very hot in the daytime.D. Because they can eat kangaroo rats.3.

人教版九年级英语下册阅读理解练习二(含答案)I.阅读理解In the summer between my first year and second year in college, I was invited to be an instructor at a high school camp. On the first day, when we were dancing and playing games, I noticed a boy under the tree who was small and thin. His shyness made him appear weak. I walked towards him, introduced myself and invited him to join in the activities and meet some new people. He quietly replied, “No, I really don’t want to do this.” I could understand that he was in a new world but I knew it wouldn’t be right to force him, either. Actually, the boy didn’t need a close talk but a friend.At lunch the next day, I was leading camp songs when I saw the boy under the tree sitting alone. I tried again with the same invitation, but he r efused once again. That evening I was told the boy’s name was Tommy. Then I asked the campers to pay special attention to the boy and spend time with him when they could.The days went by and the time came when we had to leave. We held a big, warm party to celebrate the closing of the camp. All the campers shared their wonderful moments. To my surprise, I found the boy from under the tree dancing joyfully with two girls. I couldn’t believe it was the same person.In October of my second year, I received a p hone call from Tommy’s mother. She told me that Tommy was hit by a car and killed. I offered my deep sadness. The mother said, “Tommy mentioned you so many times. I want you to know that he went back to school and made new friends with confidence. You made a difference for Tommy during his last months.”At that moment, I realized how easy it was to give a bit of yourself every day. You may never know how much each gesture may mean to someone else. I hope that everyone can pay attention to their own “boy und er the tree”.1. Before the writer came to the high school summer camp, he was a (n) _______.A. instructorB. camperC. studentD. reporter2. How many times did the writer invite the boy to join in the activities?A.

We are all different. A baby needs 16 hours of sleepevery day. Children 6 to 12 years old need an average (平均) of 10 to 12 hours of sleep. Teenagers need 9 to 10 hours of sleep. An adult needs an average of 7 to 8 hours a night. There are some people who need only 3 hours of sleep. Others need 10 hours of sleep. After the age of 50, the average sleep time goes down to 6.5 hours a night. We need less sleep as we get older.About one in three Americans has a problem with sleep. Many of these people can’t fall asleep. The name of this problem is insomnia. Some people say, “I didn’t sleep all night.” But that’s not really true. They may sleep lightly and wake up several times. In the morning, they only remember the times they were awake (醒着), so they think they were awake all night.This is not a new problem.

Yes ! Alone! I can't wait to get going to Europe to see some cities I really want to visit. It is great because I can choose what I want to do in each city. I am going to travel by train on the Eurorail.The train trip was fast and the views of the countryside were amazing. Now I am in Salzburg, Austria. The quiet hills of Austria are a great place to relax. The movie The Sound of Music was filmed around this area. Mozart, the famous musician, was from here. I listened to some of his classical music.The train ride to Amsterdam was a long one. It gave me time to write some postcards to send back home. Amsterdam is a fun city, full of friendly locals and many tourists. I spent the whole day visiting the art museums here. The museum about the famous Dutch artist Van Gogh is filled with history and beautiful art. I took a boat ride and saw local people in traditional dress. I even got to taste some delicious Dutch cheese.Copenhagen, Denmark, is one of the safest places in the world. I spent a busy and nice day at the Tivoli Amusement Park. It is a huge park which even has concerts and dance shows. Hans Christian Anderson, a famous writer of children's books, was born in this city. I found a lovely bookshop and bought two of his fairy tale books, The Little Mermaid and The Ugly Duckling.My travels alone are done! What an adventure this trip has been! I love it.1.

After a while I stopped trying to discover the sender's name and was just very pleased with the beautiful white flower in soft pink paper.But I never stopped imagining who the giver might be. Some of my happiest moments were spent daydreaming about the sender. My mother encouraged this imagining. She'd asked me if there was someone for whom I had done a special kindness. Perhaps it was the old man who I looked after when he was ill. As a girl, I had more fun imagining that it might be a boy.One month before my graduation, my father died. I felt very sad and didn't want to go to the coming graduation dance at all. And I didn't care whether I had a new dress or not.

Before that time, New Year's Day was celebrated on April 1st. Then a new calendar called the Gregorian calendar was introduced. January 1st became the first day of the year, but many people didn't know about it. So those who continued to celebrate New Year's Day on April 1st were teased. They were called fools.Nowadays we play jokes on people on April 1st. For example, someone might put salt in the sugar bottle so another person could put it in his coffee "by accident". Or someone might change the time on another person's alarm clock so that that person would unknowingly wake up earlier or later than planned. Or maybe a person would tell a lie to make someone else shocked.After we play the trick, we say "April Fools". Then the poor person realizes he was fooled. It is generally done in the spirit of fun and doesn't cause any real harm(伤害) to anyone.1. Before the sixteenth century, New Year's Day was on .A. April 1stB. January 1stC. September 1stD.

Do you know how it came about?The tea bag was invented in 1908 by Thomas Sullivan, an American tea seller. He was sending out free tea in silk(丝绸) bags for people to try. People put the bags together with the tea leaves into the cup and added hot water. The tea tasted good, and people thought it was easy to clean the cup. They were not happy when Sullivan started sending them loose(散的) tea again.Sullivan realized that he had a hot new thing in his hands, and he built a machine to pack the bags. As tea bags became popular, they were changed from silk to gauze(薄纱) and later paper. In 1952, Lipton Tea made the tea bageven more popular with its invention of the four-sided tea bag. Tea bags were soon a hit in the UK, and today 85% of tea in the UK is packed in paper bags.However, many people still prefer looseleaf tea. This is because some tea companies put not very good tea in their tea bags. But for most drinkers, tea bags are still the easy, tasty way to go.根据短文内容,完成下列小题。

He is almost sick when my mother calls, "Herbert! It's seven o'clock! Get up!"Herbert answers, "I'm coming!" and goes right back to sleep. I'm not at all like my brother. I don't like to go to bed at night but I don't mind getting up in the morning. I usually wake up before my mother calls me.I jump out of bed and go into the bathroom to take a shower. I get dressed, brush my teeth, comb my hair, and get ready to go downstairs for breakfast as soon as my mother calls.But not Herbert. He just sleeps.
