九年级中考英语阅读理解专练第（一）篇Tea and coffee are two of the most popular drinks in the world. However, people usually like one more than the other. These drinks also have very different uses.Tea drinking started in China over 4,000 years ago. Tea is made from leaves. These days, some people drink tea for health, using it to help with stress(压力) or losing weight. However, most people in tea-drinking countries think of tea as more than just a healthy drink. In fact, tea drinking in some countries is a part of the culture. In Turkey(土耳其), tea is always there when people meet. Whether in someone’s home or a company, tea is always offered as a way of welcoming. In the UK, homes and offices usually have tea time. Tea and other dishes are served at tea time in the afternoon. It is a way of relaxing with friends .Coffee came much later than tea, just over 1,000 years ago. Coffee is made from beans. Something in the coffee beans makes a person feel active. Most people do not drink coffee to relax. Instead, they drink coffee to get going. Many people drink coffee in the morning to help them wake up. Others will also drink coffee during short breaks in the afternoon to keep going through the working day. Some people may visit coffee shops just to meet and talk with friends. However, many people in coffee shops drink coffee while working on their computers.Is tea or coffee more common in your country? Between the two, which do you like to drink more?1.

Take famous poet Li Bai for example. His family nam e, which came from his father’s name, was Li. His given name was Bai, and his courtesy name was Taibai.People used their given names when they were among family members. But in social life, they called each other by their courtesy names to show respect. This was mostly done among people of similar age. If you were talking about yourself, or if your elders were talking about you, the given name would be used instead of the courtesy name.Men would get their courtesy names when they turned 20. It was a symbol of adulthood (成年礼). Women would get their courtesy names after getting married.One’s courtesy name often had something to do with one’s given name. For example, the name of Mencius was Meng Ke. His courtesy name was Ziyu. Both Ke and Ziyu mean “carriage (马车)”. Zhuge Liang’s given name was Liang, which means “bright”. His courtesy name was Kongming, which means “very bright”.1. How many parts are there in people’s names in ancient China?A. three.B. four.C. five.D. six.2.

Even though snowflakes are related to winter, she let others feel warmth, hope and light through her performance. “I’m also disabled and I want to do something for them with my music,” said Ma.Ma went blind at the age of two because of an illness. She became interested in music when she was young. She started to learn to play the piano at five and the violin at nine, experiencing the “colorful” music through sound and emotion.Ma’s mother Ha Chunyan, a former music teacher in a primary school, helped her memorize the music score (乐谱) before she played the piano. Ma could not see the keys and always played the wrong notes. It took her thousands of tries to play a piece correctly.Learning the violin was more challenging. Ma needed to feel the teacher’s hands, arms and back to learn the movements, and listen to the strings (弦) over and over again to feel the muscles (肌肉) herself.“After three years of learning, she still could not make any sound except terrible noises,” said Ha, who advised her daughter to give up the violin. But Ma said, “As I’ve been practicing so long, it’s hard to give up. I believe I will play better if I persist in practicing.”In 2018, Ma got a chance to follow Sheng Yuan and Cao Yuhan, famous musicians from the CentralConservatory of Music, to study music in Beijing. She left her home in Ningxia to follow her musical dream, though she knew there would be more challenges ahead.Ma expressed her excitement about performing at the big event. “All my hard work has paid off.

What about the erhu? The erhu is a traditional Chinese instrument. It is the most popular of the huqin family, and it has a long history.The modern erhu developed from the xiqin, which was played by many ethnic minorities (少数民族) during the Tang Dynasty. In the Song Dynasty, musicians began to use the erhu to perform different kinds of music, and itbecame quite a popular instrument. With the rise of some forms of folk art, the art of the erhu developed quickly during the Ming and Qing Dynasties. It became an important accompanying (伴奏) instrument in different folk music. At present, it is used in both traditional and modern music, such as in pop, rock and jazz. It has even become a solo (独奏) instrument. One of the most famous musical pieces played on the erhu is Erquan Yingyue.As the erhu was mainly played by common people and the playing skills were passed down orally (口头地), there are few written records about the erhu that can be found. To study the history and the development of the erhu, historians (历史学者) usually turn to ancient paintings. The earliest pictures of this instrument were found in Yulin Caves and Eastern Thousand Buddha Caves in Gansu Province, where five erhu pictures were discovered on murals (壁画).1.

With the great excitement of winning an Olympic gold medal still fresh in his mind, Su wrote a letter to the president, telling him how lucky he felt to have made his dream come true.Su still remembers what Xi wrote in the reply, “The new era is the time for young people to realize their dreams.”“I have always kept those words in my mind,” Su said.“When I made up my mind to be a professional(职业的) snowboarder, I know there is a big gap between my performance(表现) and that of the top sportsmen in the world. But I have been working hard to realize my dream. Now my story shows the fact that hard work will pay off.” Su said.Su believes the sky is the limit. “Find the thing you love, believe in yourself and do your very best.

Most of them cover huge areas of land where nobody lives, and usually far way from cities. However, the National Parks in England include places where people live and work, as well as wild areas where there are few human activities.The National Parks in England are called “England’s Breathing Spaces” because they are places where people can go to be in the open air, away from the dirt and noise of cities. They provide wonderful scenes of mountains, woods, grasslands and wetlands. And there are plenty of activities to do in all of the National Parks in England. Visitors can walk or ride bikes for fun. Many of the parks put on activities for families.Every year there are about 110 million visitors to the parks, bringing many benefits(益处) to the areas. At the same time, it creates problems too. First, life can be difficult for local people. Car parks and roads are too crowded. Gift shops and cafes take the place of many everyday shops. Even house prices in some areas can become too high. Besides, country roads can be damaged, for too many people walk, cycle or ride horses on them. Roads can be rebuilt, but then they look less natural. Another big problem to the National Parks is litter. In the parks it is a danger to wild animals. Broken glass can also cause fires by focusing the rays of the sun. Such fires in wild places can be out of control.How can people help? All National Parks in England are making more rules, which tell people how to take good care of their environment. If these rules are followed, the National Parks will be well kept and continue to give pleasure to many people for a very long time.1.According to paragraph 1, what can we learn about the National Parks?A.There are only several national parks in the worldB.

They are hard-working and professional in their work, and use sign language to communicate with each other from time to time.Bach’s Bakery lies in Changsha City, Hunan Province. It is run by a German couple, Uwe Brutzer and his wife Dorothee Brutzer, who started it up ten years ago with the purpose of creating more jobs for those disabled in the neighborhood. So far, Bach’s Bakery has trained around 30 hearing disabled people. While some skilled workers found jobs in other bakeries and hotels and have been able to live on their own, several of them have stayed to work atthe bakery after they completed the training.The Brutzers’ work has won the support of many people in China. With the spread of news about the bakery, many Internet users learned about Bach’s Bakery and its inspiring story. As a result, many local people in Changsha as well as visitors from other parts of the country come to buy their products, Uwe said that public attention has encouraged them a lot and helped grow the bakery’s business, resulting in workers getting higher pay. However, what he values more is that, through media (媒体) reports, more people have come to understand that disabled people can work as well as other people when they are given chances.Now, as they are preparing to return to Germany, they have found a German couple teaching in China as the new managers, and handed over the bakery to a public welfare (福利) organization.

What’s the best title for the passage?A. A Silent BakeryB. A Special WishC. The Success of the DisabledD. The Rules of Bach’s Bakery第（九）篇Scientists are looking for ways that we can effectively use the light and heat from the sun. One idea that has caught their imagination is solar roads. They are expected to produce clean and renewable energy.With solar panels on the surfaces, solar roads cost more than traditional roads. However, besides the functions of traditional roods, they have the panels to receive sunlight and change it into the energy to supply power to homes, factories and street lighting. There are four layers in a solar panel:•Base layer: It is made of insulation material and forms a good grip with the road below this layer.•Middle layer: This is the most important layer. It holds all kinds of power lines connecting all the solar parts in the panel, like LED lights and the heating system.•Top layer: This layer is super-strong glass. It allows the panel to hold the weight of the heaviest vehicles.•Capping: This is the topmost layer used to offer extra protection to the solar parts in the panel. The layer must be rough enough to provide the traction for the safety of vehicles.With the smart design, solar roads can successfully charge the vehicles on them. And the roads have inbuilt LED lights to replace the traditional rood signs and lines, which are usually painted and harmful to humans. What’s more, the heating systems in the solar roads can take care of the snow and ice on the roads for drivers.Test solar roads have been built in several countries (France, China, USA, etc.) since 2014. The first word solar road project, Metrics of Watt Way in France, was set up by a French company called Construction Colas. It was an example of low effectiveness. In the first year, it had been expected to produce around 767 kWh of energy a day, but it only produced 409 kWh. Even so, the production could increase with design improvements. Of course, more time is needed before this technology is put into use.Solar roads may not be widely used in the near future, but they are indeed great for an environment-friendly and energy-saving world.1. Solar roads ________.A. offer power to homesB. get energy from factoriesC. keep the sunlight awayD. cost less than traditional roods2. Which of the following about the layers of a solar panel is TRUE according to the passage?A. The base layer is the most important layer.B. There are many power lines in the middle layer.C. The top layer lies on the top of the solar panel.D. The capping should be smooth enough for drivers.3. The first world solar road project ________.A. was set up in China in 2014B. showed high effectiveness as expectedC. was started by a US companyD. could get better with design improvements4. What is the best title for the passage?A. Solar Roads: A Widely Used InventionB. Solar Roads: A Safety Guard for DriversC. Solar Roads: A New Idea for Clean EnergyD. Solar Roads: A Way to Produce LED Lights5. Which part of newspaper may you read this passage?A. HistoryB. FashionC. SportD. Environment第（十）篇Steven Spielberg is the world’s most famous director.

Steven’s father handed Steven the camera and asked him to try. The first efforts were terrible, but Steven was interested in camera. He used his toys as characters and began making short films. By his teens Steven had made his first short film, called The Great TrainCrash. Before long the Spielberg house began to look like a film set, with furniture and lights being moved around to prepare for a new film.He is skilled in making a film excite, sadden or amuse people as they watch it. Spielberg understands the life in the countryside, television and fast cars, all of which became more common in his childhood in 1950s America.

But everyone has them,” the youn g man said.“These are wealth. What you have now is not what someone else can luckily have. Are you willing to give your eyes to me? I’m willing to give you a lot of money to exchange for them,” the wise man said.“No, I’m not going to do so! My eyes are important to me!” the young man said.Everyone is rich.

But when we talk about day and night, we are using “day” to mean the time between sunrise and sunset. Because the earth looks like a ball, the sun can shine on only half of it at a time. Always one half of the earth is having day and the other half night. At the equator (赤道) day and night are sometimes the same length. They are each twelve hours long. The sun rises at 6 o’clock in the morning and sets at 6 o’clock in the evening. For six months the North Pole is tilted (倾斜的) towards the sun. In those months the Northern Hemisphere gets more hours of sunlight than the Southern Hemisphere. Days are longer than nights. South of the equator nights are longer than days. For the other six months the North Pole is tilted away from the sun. Then the Southern Hemisphere gets more sunlight. Days are longer than nights. North of the equator nights are longer than days. Winter is the season of long nights. Summer is the season of long days.( ) 1.

But in fact the umbrella was not invented as protection against the rain. Its first use was as a sunshade(遮阳伞).Nobody knows who first invented it, but the umbrella was used in very ancient times. Probably the Chinese were the first to use it, back in the 11th century BC．We know that the umbrella was used in ancient Egypt and Babylon as a sunshade. And there was a strange thing that connected with its use: it was a symbol of honor and power. In the Far East in ancient times, the umbrella was allowed to be used only by those in the upper class or by royal people such as kings or queens.In Europe, the Greeks were the first to use the umbrella as a sunshade. The umbrella was in common use in ancient Greece, but it is believed that the first people in Europe to use the umbrella as protection against the rain were the ancient Romans. During the Middle Ages in Europe, the use of the umbrella almost disappeared. Then it appeared again in Italy in the late 16th century. And again it became a symbol of power.The umbrella has not changed much in style during all the time, though it has become much lighter in weight. It wasn’t until the 20th century that the umbrellas for women began to be made in all kinds of colors. 16．Ancient people first used umbrellas as ________.A．a symbol of honor B．protection against the sunC．a symbol of power D．protection against the rain17．According to the passage, the umbrella was probably first used in ancient ________.A．Egypt B．Babylon C．Rome D．China18．The underlined word “royal” might mean “________” in Chinese.A．王室的B．富裕的C．中产的D．平民的19．This passage is mainly about ________.A．the sales of the umbrella B．the differences among umbrellasC．the invention of the umbrella D．the history and use of the umbrella（2022秋·山东菏泽·九年级校考阶段练习）Dragons are not real animals, but look like a combination of many animals such as snakes, fish and deer. They have two horns (角) and a long moustache. With fantastic powers, they fly in the sky or swim in the sea. They can make rain, too. The Chinese dragon is a symbol ofstrength and good luck. The emperors of ancient China loved dragons. Their clothes were covered with pictures of dragons.We are proud to call ourselves the “descendants of the dragon”. In Chinese, excellent people are often called dragons. A number of Chinese sayings talk about dragons, for example, “Hoping one’s child will become a dragon.”, which means hoping he or she will be successful.It is said that people born in the Year of the Dragon have certain characteristics. They are creative, confident, brave and quick-tempered. There are also some traditional festivals about dragons in China, such as Dragon Head-Raising Day and Dragon Boat Festival. We have different kinds of activities to celebrate them. These two festivals come every year, but the Year of the Dragon comes every twelve years. The dragon is very important in Chinese culture. As the “descendants of the dragon”, it is necessary for us to know the opinions on dragons in our culture. It can help us understand why our parents always want us to be “dragons”.20．The Chinese dragon is a symbol of _________ .A．a combination of many animals B．Chinese sayingsC．traditional festivals D．strength and good luck21．What characteristics may the people born in the Year of the Dragon have?A．Confident, brave, successful and powerful.B．Creative, confident and quick-tempered.C．Lovely, brave and quick-tempered.D．Lucky, confident, successful and creative.22．Which of the statements is TRUE according to the passage?A．Dragons are real animals.B．There are many Chinese sayings about dragons.C．People born in the Year of the Dragon must be successful.D．The “descendants of the dragon” is often called.（2022秋·九年级单元测试）Reading for pleasure (消遣) is the easiest way to become a better reader in English.

At the beginning of each class, when the teacher asked a question, I always lowered my head because I was afraid that the teacher saw me. One day, in a foreign language class, Mr. Black gave us a lesson. He wanted us to be active in class, so he asked us some questions, but no one answered. “Let me tell you a story first,” he said. “When I came to the United States to study, the university often invited famous people to make speeches. Before the beginning of every speech, I found an interesting thing. The students around me always took a card board folded (折叠的) in half, wrote their names boldly with the most eye-catching color, and then placed the cardboard on the seat. So when the speaker needed the answers from the students, he could see and call a listener’s name directly.”“I couldn’t understand that. My classmate told me the speakers were all top people who meant chances. When your answer was to his surprise, it meant he might give you more chances. In fact, I really saw a few students got great chances because of that.”After listening to the story, I understood that the chance would not find you itself.

Unluckily, I am one of them. I have visited a place many times but I may still get lost there the next time.When I was a little girl, I never dared ask strangers the way. And so I used to walk round in circles and hope that by chance I would get to the place I was going to.Now, I am no longer too shy to ask people for directions, but I often receive helpless or even wrong information. So I try to avoid giving people wrong directions. If anyone ever asks me the way somewhere, I always say, “Sorry, I am a stranger here.”Once on my way to work I was stopped by a man. He asked me if I could tell him the way to the Friendship Building. I gave him my usual reply. But just as I walked on only a few steps, I realized that he had asked the way to my office building. However, I had no time to turn back and look for him.

The first restaurants were invented thousands of years ago. However, they were very different from restaurants today.The first restaurants were in ancient Greece(希腊) and ancient Rome. These restaurants served food in large stone bowls. People didn’t order food from a menu. Everyone shared the food from big bowls. People believe that these places were very popular because most homes in ancient Greece and Rome did not have kitchens. Also, people didn’t have to store(储存) food at home if they ate their meals at these restaurants.Later, restaurant began to open in China. In the early 1100s, more than one million people lived in the city of Hangzhou, China. It was a very busy city, and people had money. All of these people had to eat. Smart cooks started cooking and selling food along the big street in the city. Unlike in ancient Greece and Rome, people in China could choose food from a menu. They didn’t have to eat the same food as everyone else.For the next several centuries, there were restaurants all over the world. People could buy food in the street or at inns(小旅馆). Then in the middle of the 1700s, restaurants started opening in Paris. These restaurants were more similar to restaurants we know today. There was a wider choice of food, and eating in these restaurants was a more enjoyable experience. In the 19th century, trains made travel much faster and simpler. In the end, this kind of restaurant began to appear all over Europe and in other parts of the world.Now, restaurants are everywhere. You can buy different kinds of food. You can get food sent to your door. But remember it wasn’t always like that.46．It is believed that these first restaurants were popular because ________.A．people could eat different food B．the food there was very cheapC．people were too busy to cook D．most homes didn’t have kitchens47．How were the restaurants in Hangzhou different from the first restaurants?A．They offered menus to customers.B．They usually served the same food.C．They sold the food in large stone bowls.D．They prepared food for all people in the city.A．Restaurants in ancient Greece and ancient Rome.B．Restaurants in Hangzhou in the early 1100s.C．Restaurants in Paris in the middle of the 1700s.D．Restaurants all over Europe in the 19th century.49．Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A．Now people can get food without going out.B．The first restaurants were similar to restaurants today.C．Hangzhou used to be a city that had no smart cooks.D．People in ancient Greece and Rome usually stored food at home.（2021秋·湖南常德·九年级统考期中）Every school day, we use schoolbags to carry all of our things to school. They are a big part of our lives. But have you ever thought about the history of the schoolbag?In the Han Dynasty（汉朝）, students in old-style private schools used bamboo boxes to carry books to school. People consider the bamboo boxes to be the earliest schoolbags. There were usually two or three layers（层）in the box. Kids put different things like books, brushes, ink stones（砚）and paper in the boxes.Hundreds of years later, people developed a new kind of schoolbag called budai, or the “hip – pocket”.

They began as a form of traditional art in the Tang and Song Dynasties in China, and became popular in the Ming Dynasty. Long ago, they found their way to Japan and other Southeast Asian countries, and were well received there. Now they are regarded as one of the symbols of Chinese culture.As for the name itself, it is surely meaningful. The Chinese word for “knot”, jie, means “connection”. And the pronunciation of the Chinese word jie is very close to that of ji, “good luck”. As a result, Chinese knots are used as a way to express people’s strong wishes for marvellous things like happiness, love and good luck.The knots are used widely in everyday life. They come in different sizes. Small ones are connected to jewellery (珠宝) , clothes and gifts in order to draw people’s attention, while large ones are used to make a living room or study more beautiful. Whether large or small, they are named after their shapes and usages. For example, Double Coin Knots are called Shuangqian Jie because they are in the shape of two ancient Chinese coins, meaning “good things come in pair.” Besides, Chinese knots are famous for their bright colors. Different colors have different traditional cultural meanings. Red means good luck and happiness, green means health, and yellow means wealth.All in all, the famous Chinese fancy knots fully show the Chinese culture. These brightly colored knots with their endless chains of knots mean that life on earth will continue forever.59．What did the writer want to express in this passage?A．Ask people to buy Chinese fancy knots.B．Introduce a traditional Chinese art form.C．Teach people how to make a Chinese knot.D．Describe the usages of Chinese fancy knots.60．Double Coin Knots are called Shuangqian Jie because of its ________. .A．pronunciation B．size C．shape and meaning D．color61．The underlined word “marvellous” in the passage means “ _________ ”.A．good B．common C．special D．interesting62．Which is right according to the passage?A．The Chinese word for “knot” means “luck”.B．Chinese knots became popular in the Song Dynasty.C．All of the Chinese knots have the same sizes and colors.D．Chinese knots mean that life on earth will continue forever.（2022秋·重庆万州·九年级重庆市万州第二高级中学校考期末）Dragon dance is a traditional folk activity in China. It was started in China during the Han Dynasty as part of the farming culture. The dragon shows wisdom (智慧), power and wealth. Like the lion dance, it is most often seen in festival celebrations. It is believedthat performing the dragon dance keeps people away from all the bad luck and brings in good luck and wealth.In the dance, a team of dancers hold the dragon—which is an image of the Chinese dragon—on poles (竿). The lead dancers lift and sweep, making different skillful movements with the head. The dragon’s body is made of cloth and bamboo. Its length can be different, some reaching 100 meters long and held by many people. Today, most dragon dances are performed by ten people, with one holding a bead (珠子) in front of the team. To perform an excellent dragon dance, the performers of a dragon dance team must be able to run in the correct footsteps which shouldn’t be too quick or too slow.

阅读理解之议论文解题方法技巧(初中英语专项复习)4
阅读理解之议论文解题方法技巧（初中英语专项复习）议论文往往有观点，有事实，逻辑性强，命题往往从事实的有关细节及文章的主旨或作者的表达意图等方面着手，考查我们的思维能力和判断能力。
所以考生要培养根据上下文猜词的能力，或者说根据情境能揣测作者的意图。
议论文的阅读同其他体裁文章的阅读理解一样，可以有主旨大意、细节理解、推理判断、词义猜测等几种出题方式。
【名师解难】议论文一般有论点、论据和论证三个要素。
论点是议论文的核心，是作者对所论述事件的基本看法和立场；是文章要表达的主要思想；找准论点有助干把握文章的整体方向和理解文章主题的深层内涵。
论据是作者所引用的用以证明和支持论点的材料，这些材料可以是名人名言、事实例证，或是统计数据等，理清论据材料的内容能够帮助读者更深层次地理解论点的含义。
论证方法多种多样，常见的有:1.归纳法，即从分析个别事例入手，找出事物的共同特点，从而得出结论；2.演绎法，即从一般原理出发，对个别事物进行说明、分析后得出结论；3.比较对照法，即对所有事实、方面进行对照，找出异同之处，然后加以分析，得出结论；4.驳论法，即先列出错误的观点，然后加以逐条批驳，反证自己观点的正确性。
1.细节理解：细节理解题在中考阅读理解试题中所占比例最大，不过相对来说较简单，通过题干的关键词，在文中找到相关信息，仔细对比，就能得出答案。
其正确选项特征为：同义替换、语言简化、正话反说等。
2.主旨大意：主要考查考生把握全文主题和理解中心思想的能力，以概括中心大意、段落大意、选择标题及判断作者写作意图等形式出现。
其正确选项特征为：涵盖性强，覆盖全文或全段；确定的范围恰当，既不太大，也不太小；精确性强，不会改变语言表意的程度及色彩。
3.作者观点：站在作者的角度，通过逻辑关系，研究细节，推敲作者的态度，理解文章寓意的能力；一般不出现绝对概念。
4. 词义猜测：考查考生在短时间内根据上下文快速猜测所指定的某一个生词、词组或者句子含义的能力，而这些词或词组往往超出考纲范围。

初四英语阅读理解 十篇
初四英语阅读理解十篇一Have you ever tried to hide your emotions（情感）from someone during a conversation?1Scientists from the Ohio State University have found that people are able to tell other people's emotions according to the changes in the color of their faces.Scientists studied pictures of people s facial expressions. 2 For example, happiness makes our faces red around the cheeks and a little blue around the chin. Disgust(厌恶) creates not only a blue-yellow color around the lips,but also a red-green color around the nose and forehead.“We believe these color patterns are the result of small changes in blood flow triggered (触发) by the central nervous( 神经) system. ”Lead researcher Alex Martin said.3 Does the color alone or also facial expressions help people tell others' emotions?To figure this out, scientists added color patterns to pictures of faces that showed no facial expessions. 4 They were able to tell the emotions 75 percent of the time without anydifficulty.5 For example, when two people are heatedly arguing over something, we say they are red in the face. When a person is very angry,we'd say he or she is blue in the face.A. But this raises a question.B. They found that every facial expression was connected to a certain color.C. It's not always easy, because the colors on your face may tell the truth.D. Then, volunteers were asked to tell what emotions the faces were showing.E. This is why there are some Chinese sayingsthat connect emotions to the color of one's face.1. 2. 3. 4. 5.二You' ve been learning words since you were a tiny baby. At first, you learned them only by hearing other people talk. Now that you're a reader, you have another way to learn words. What should you do when you come to a word and you think you don't know what it means?1 Say itFirst,sound it out. Then say it to yourself.2 Sometimes you know a word in your head but you don't know what it looks like in print. So if you match up what you know and what you read-you have the word!Use contextIf this doesn't work, take the next step: look at the context-the other words and sentences around it. Read this sentence: When it rained, the dog looked for shelter in the doorway. 3Rainand in the doorway might give you helpful information.4If the context doesn't help,look at the parts of the word. Does it have any parts you know? These can help you understand what it means. If you don't know the meaning of miner,try looking at parts of the word. You might know that a mine is a place underground where people get coal and other valuable things. A lot of times,-er at the end of a word means a person who does something". So a miner might be someone who works in a mine. Look it upIf the three steps above don't work,you can look it up. 5 -either a book or online. Nobody knows the meaning of every word, but good readers know how to understand words they don t know.A. Use word partsВ. It might sound like a word you know.C.

Remember, the weather is very cold for many months of the year.Mariano Tagalik,a 65-year-old Inuit, told us a little about her past life. "Our winter iglooswere very warm. We cooked inside, so sometimes it got too hot, 3 In the short summers, we lived in seal-skin tents,but I spent as much time as possible playing outside.”To move over the snow,Inuit people wore special snowshoes on their feet, 4 These machines can travel long distances(距离)in a short time. In the past,it took them days or weeks to travel the same distance.5 And they learnt everything from their parents. Now , like all North Americans, they go to school for about ten years.Lifeis not as hard as it used to be,but many of the older Inuits hate modern life and want to go back to the old days.A.I took off most of my clothes when I was in our igloo.B. Inuit children never went to school.C. They are now named Inuits which mean “the people”instead of Eskimos.D. Today many Inuits ride snowmobiles.E. They ate the meat and made clothes from the fur(皮毛).1. 2. 3. 4. 5.四Most of us think the telephoe was invented by Alexander Graham Bell. 1 In Tact,an Italian named Antonio Meucci was officially recognized(认定) as the inventor a few years ago. Who is Meucci and why wasn't he known for his invention at the time?Antonio Meucci was born in Italy in 1808. He studied nineering and drawing. During his studies, Meucci started to experiment with electricity. 2 When two places were connected with wire, people in those places could hear each other talk.In 1850, Meucci and his wife, Ester,moved toNew York. Meucci was worried about his wife, because she had become very ill. 3 To solve this problem, he connected metal cables between his home and his workshop. This way , they could talk to each other conveniently.Meucci invited a group of people to see his new invention. They listened in amazement as the voice of a singer was heard through the wires.4 Even worse, Meucci n never applied fora patent(专利) on his invention.Meanwhile , Alexander Graham Bell was working on the same idea and in 1876 the patent for the telephone was given to him.In 2002 ,more than a century after Meucci' s death,his work was finally recognized by the government. 5A. He discovered that sound could travel through metal cables.B. However,he wasn't the first person to think of the idea.C.Unfortunately,only a few people attended this talk.D. He will now be known all over the world as the telephone's inventor.E. He needed to keep in touch with her at times.1. 2. 3. 4. 5.五Experts in nutrition(营养) suggest that we should eat at Jleast five diferent kinds of vegetables and fruit a day. They are very necessary for our health and help our bodies work well. They can help reduce( 减少) the risk of getting ill. There are a lot of vegetables and fruit to choose from and they taste delicious. 1It's easy to buy your food from the localsupermarket so why do we go to the trouble of growing our own? Here are several good reasons:2 You can pick and eat it at once. When you have tried it,you will agree that vegetables and fruit that are eaten straight from the garden taste better than anything you can buy in a supermarket.You may want to cut down on your "food miles”-the distance that aproduct has travelled before it reaches your kitchen. Many food packages are flown halfway across the earth. 3.Homegrown food is likely to be healthier. Food producers often use fertilizers(化肥) and pesticides(农药) which can end up in your food. If you grow your own, things are different.4 You might also choose to grow some traditional vegetables and fruit. These often have more of the vitamins ,minerals(矿物质) and protein （蛋白质）that keep you healthy.5 And you can grow your own even if you only have a small backyard or a balcony （阳台）. Some food can grow well in pots, including lettuce, tomatoes , potatoes and carrots. You can recycle plastic bottles and cups to grow something. Just make sure there are holes for drainage （排水）and a small plate under them to catch drops of water. Happy gardening!A. Best of all,you can grow your own !B. That's not so good for you,or for the planet.C. Food that you grow yourself is always fresh.D. If you have a large garden,growing your own is easy.E. You can control what goes on and into the food you eat.1. 2. 3. 4. 5.六People travelled to see the buildings, the food, the national dresses in foreign countries because they thought they would not be the same as those of their own countries in the past.1 They all have their Hilton or Sheraton Hotels everywhere. They all have their McDonald's, their KFCs and their Pizza Huts. Office buildings look the same everywhere,and most city centers are full of office buildings. And of course, people are driving the same brands of Japanese or European cars.Then why is the foreign travel more popular nowadays? What do tourists hope to experience in a foreign country that they can not experience at home? The answer could be that people could be very interested in the past. 2 Most people travel overseas to find out what foreign countries' history and culture used to be like, not what they are like today.Tourists visit different kinds of museums in foreign countries so that they can learn their history and culture.Every country also has its own beautiful places for tourists to visit. 34 It is not only just its old buildings,its works of art or beautiful places, but also the people who live init. This is why a country such as Thailand attracts millions of people. The tourists come mainly because of the friendliness of the people there. It is why the Pacific islands are also so popular. 5A. It'sa nation's history and culture that are the main attractions.B. The friendly. people make visitors feel welcome.C. At present, however, one large city is similar to another.D. Their own speciall scey would cerainly atrtre torists from other coutries.E. The culture of a country means a lot.1. 2. 3. 4. 5.七What is lif's greatest gift? It is choice. Choice is the ailityt to choose some actions from asetof things to achievea goal. 1 The reason is that it turns us from dumb animals into artists.Choice becomes the tool we use to sculpt(雕刻) our life. The tool doesn't come free, however,for the price of choice is responsibility. 2 It is enjoyment.Choice is power. Choice is at the heart of life. It's the creative power of life. Life is always changing and we have to make lots of choices.3 We often need to check where we are on our journey. We need to ask questions: Am I moving closer to my goals? If not, what actionwill I take now to make myself realize my goals?4 And our life becomes more convenient or comfortable because of them. For example ,you decide which stores to shop at and which bus station to go to. But the decisions that we make to sculpt our lives are much more important than deciding where to shop. The more we understand the difference between small and big decisions,the more pleasure we willget.Life is like a chess game. 5 All chess lovers realize that it isn t necessary to win to enjoy the game. Make the best moves you can under the conditions. Then you can enjoy your life.A. Why is choice so great?B. The pleasure is in the playing.C. In fact, we have to make choices every. day.D. But when we accept and carry it out,we get a great return.E. Every choice we make leads us closer to or farther from our goals.1. 2. 3. 4. 5.八Nowadays, many people have realized the importance of leadership( 领导) skills, Poor leaders may cause many problems. But good leaders do better in solving problems than poor ones. Without good leaders , problems can't be solved, 1 What's more, good leaders are good at cooperating with others. Usually, they are good listeners as well. But being good leaders isn't easy. So let me give you some suggestions to help you become a good leader.2 Maybe nobody teaches you how to be a good leader,but you can learn it on your own. Read books about great leaders from home and abroad, By reading,you can learn a lot from their experiences and find out their secrets of success. Then you will be more confident of being a good leader.Learn from students' leaders in your school, There is no doubt that those leaders who are popular with the students in your school must have their advantages over others. 3 Take an active part in the activities organized by the excellent leaders and learn from themn at once. Then you will know theanswer,4 Find the students that have the same interests ns you have and start a club.Activities should be organized regularly in the club, When the members in your club have trouble in solving problems, you should communicate with them and find out the causes of the problems. After the problems are solved , you can share pleasure with them.As time passes by,you will get more trust like those popular leaders, Sooner or later,you will be a good leader.5 Get started before it's too late! As long as you keep trying,you will develop your leadership skills.A. Learn from books.B. Practice what you have learned.C. So good leaders are very important.D. In short, being a good leader needs courage and practice.E. Don't you want to know why they are so successful?1. 2. 3. 4. 5.九A problem is only a problemn until there is a solution( -), We find solutions by thinking creatively, 1 In other words, we think outside the box. Sometimes, thinking outside the box solves not just one, but two problems, Amsterdam is one ofthe most crowded cities in Europe. As a result, housing is very expensive ,especially for students, 2 However,finding this type of apartmerits was almost impossible until recently,While the college in Amsterdam were trying to solve the housing problem, thousands of shipping containers （集装箱)were lying quietly in ports（港口）around the world. These huge steel containers carry products from one country to another, The life of each container is nbout 10 years, 3 Yet they cnn't recycle all of them becnuse there are so many,Back in Amsterdam,n company came up with an amazing idea, Why not reuse theseshipping containers n8 student npartments?4 They are all the same size and fit together perfeetly, The steel is strong, Moreover , these containers are so widely available that they are quite cheap to buy, For all these reasons, they can be used to build apartments quickly and cheaply, Building began in 2005 ,and nfter only a few weeks , hundreds of Amsterdamn students had new homes,When students first heard about this idea, they thought the container apartments would be small, noisy,and cold. 5 Each container apartment has a kitchen,a bedroom with a study area, and a bathroom. The apartments are warm and quiet. They even have a high-speed Internet connection. Living in a shipping container has become popular. Today,over 3, 000 Amsterdam students live in the container village.A. Students need low-cost apartments.B. The containers are great for building apartments.C. We use our imagination and come up with creative ideas.D, However ,they were surprised when they saw them.E. Steel companies recycle some of the old containers.1. 2. 3. 4. 5.十Everyone faces challenges in their life, but some are more difficult than others, 1 And doctors took away both of his eyes before he was fourteen months old,Soon later , however, he started to do an amazing thing. He started to make clicking(;咔哒) sounds with his tongue（舌头）to help him move around. Much like a bat(9lG6 !1), he now moves about using sonar(声纳). 2He and his group, World Access for the Blind, teach others how to use sonar. In this interview with National Geographic, Kish explains how sonar works.How does sonar work?“When I make a clicking sound,it makes sound waves. These waves reflect(反射) off surfaces all around and return to my ears. My brain then processes the sounds into images （图像）. 3 ”When you elick,what do you set in your mind? "Each click is like a camera flash, I make a 3D imge of the things around me for hundreds of feet in every direction, "What is it like riding a bike using sonar?" 4 I click up to two times per second,much more than I usually do, "Is it dangerous to move around the world in this way?“Much of the world lives in fear of things that we mostly imagine. 1 have a habit of climbing everything ,but I never broke abone( 骨头) as a kid, "How challenging is it to teach people to use sonar?"Many students are surprised how quickly results come. 5 It's in the mind.

He told him his story angrily. “He is really bad,” the boy said, “and I hate him.”The grandfather said, “Let me tell you a story. When I was a boy, I, too, sometimes hated others for what they did…”As the boy listened carefully, the grandfather went on, “There are always two tigers inside my heart. One is good and kind. He gets on well with everything around him. But the other is bad and unfriendly. Even the smallest thing will make him angry. He fights with everyone all the time, and for no reason. He can’t think carefully because he always hates others. It is difficult to live with these two tigers inside my heart. They both try to control me.”The boy looked into his grandfather’s eyes and asked, “Which tiger always controls you, Grandfather?”The old man said slowly and seriously, “The one that I feed.

How could this happen? People used to think that hard work is the only way to success. But now they have understood that smart work can make them succeed, too.Hard workers don't mind working for long hours, while smart workers always think of several different answers to these questions, “Why should I suffer this ?” “Isn't there a better way to do this?” Thanks to these people, we can use computers instead of the abacus now. Progress in every field is the direct result of “try to find a better way” by smart workers.There was a large soap factory in Japan. Once it received an unusual letter from someone who complained that there was no soap in the soapbox he bought.How could empty soapboxes go out of the factory? The engineers checked the producing and packing. The producing was fine, but in about one in ten thousand cases, the packing machine (机器) let an empty soapbox go. There was no need to spend a lot of money repairing the machine for such a small problem. The engineer soon worked out a solution; he put a huge Xray machine and two large computers to find out the empty soapboxes. After teaching the workers how to use it, he sat down in his seat, exhausted.“Sir, we could have solved the problems in a much simpler and cheaper way，” a worker said.“Really? How？”“We can put a huge fan near the packing machine. The wind coming from the fan will blow away the empty boxes, leaving the other boxes with soap.”See, this is smart work. In order to succeed, we should not only work hard like theengineer, but also think smart like this worker.1. Some students spend less time on schoolwork but do better in exams ________.

It was invented in the 1960s in the USA. The American government needed a network of computers for its army. Then in the 1970s scientists and business people also wanted to use the Internet to send and receive messages. For some years, they weren't allowed to use the US network, and when they we re allowed to, the messages were in very simple text without photos.The World Wide Web was invented by a British scientist named Tim Berners-Lee in 1989. Hewanted to send documents to other scientists. So he developed the World Wide Web. This allowed him to send and receive scientific documents with text, drawings and photos (also called multimedia documents). In the 1990s, more and more people began to use the Internet and the World Wide Web.So what's the difference between the Internet and the World Wide Web? The Internet is the hardware. It allows us to communicate with other people. The World Wide Web is the software. It allows us to create, see and read multimedia documents.The web is made up of millions of documents called web pages. These pages are held in computers all over the world. Many people have a favourite website with a number of web pages on the same subject.Email is a way of using your computer to send and receive messages. It's cheaper and quicker to use email than send normal mail. New users call normal mail “snail mail” because it's so slow!It took 50 years for 100 million people to listen to the radio. It took 15 years for 100 million people to watch television. By the year 2000, it had taken only about three years for 100 million people to use the Internet. What will happen next on the Internet?11. The Internet was first invented for ____.A. scientific workB. American armyC. business peopleD. American government12. The World Wide Web was invented to ____.A. communicate with othersB. create, see and read documentsC. send and receive scientific documentsD. send and receive simple text without photos13.

The writer wrote the last paragraph to show that ____.A. the Internet has a greater influence than radio and TVB. radio and TV will be replaced by computersC. the use of the Internet spread very quicklyD. people spend much more time on the Internet15. The best title of the passage may be “____”.A. The effect of the greatest inventionB. The development of the InternetC. The movement of new technologyD. The history of the World Wide Web答案： 11-15BCBCBNote- taking is a skill that can help you do well in all your schoolwork. It can make you confident when you are studying. _16_If your teacher writes notes on the blackboard, that's great. You can copy them or write down the most important facts of all in class. _17_ For example, some teachers may focus on lots of dates and facts in class, but they only write the important ones on the blackboard. Other teachers may not write anything down, but they may repeat them.Don't try to write down every word in class, or you might miss some important points. Some students really learn better with the help of these notes._18_ If your teacher speaks too fast and you can't follow what he is saying, you can ask him after class.Comparing your notes with your classmates' can be good for your learning. 19_Note-taking also needs organization.
