2015北京市中考英语一模阅读B篇汇编含答案
2015北京市中考英语一模阅读B篇汇编含答案一、北京市朝阳区2015中考一模BSpam (垃圾邮件) mail is a fact of Internet life. Some of it carries bad things, but the main problem with spam is that it is unpleasant because it fills your mail box with pointless messages.Most email programs have built-in filters (过滤器) that will discover unwanted messages and put them into a junk folder (垃圾文件夹). You can make the filter learn what you consider to be spam or block certain senders.Avoid letting your email address appear on websites—spammers search the Internet for email addresses. Be careful who you give your email address to, and if you need to send out several copies of an email, use blind copy instead to cover the other people’s addresses.Delete (删除) spam emails without opening them. Signs of possible spam are bad spelling in email headers, strange sender addresses, or emails sent at unusual hours. If you do open a spam mail, never reply to it or click on any pictures it may have.If you receive an unexpected email pretending (伪装) to come from your bank, credit card company or other suppliers, be very careful. If the email asks you to reply, don’t do it! Instead, call up these places or visit their websites.Consider setting up a second email address and keep one address for your personal use and another for your online communication.44. What is the main problem with spam?A. It’s everywhere.B. It carries bad things.C. It’s unpleasant.D. It fills one’s mail box.45. How many suggestions are there in the passage?A. Three.B. Four.C. Five.D. Six.46. What should you do if you receive a spam email?A. Reply to it quickly.B. Delete it at once.C. Click its pictures.D. Visit its website.47. Which of the following is the writer’s idea about spam emails?A. Be careful with them.B. Don’t be afraid of them.C. Find interest in them.D. Try to fight against them.答案:(B)44. C 45. C 46. B 47. A二、2015年顺义区初三第一次模拟练习BHow often do you use your car? Can you use your car less often? Do you know the following facts in the UK?• About 50% of all car journeys are just for fun.• Over 80% people go to work by car.• 25% car journeys are under two miles.• 70% car journ eys are under five miles.WALKING & CYCLINGInstead of using the car for short journeys, why not walk or ride abicycle? Walking is a most popular form of exercise—it’s healthy and it cansave you money. If you work nearby, try walking or cycling instead ofdriving. Walking your children to school gives them valuable roadexperience.BUSESBus companies are using new buses: some run on new fuels whichproduce less pollution; some have easier way for disabled and old people. Thereare special traffic lanes (行车道) to make bus journeys easier and more reliable.So do something to help solve the pollution problem—let the bus take you towork and your children to school.TRAINSAll car journeys, long or short, can be hard work. For some trips it is wiser totake the train. Leave your car at home and walk, cycle or take a bus to and fromthe station. Train travel is fast, safe and comfortable. Train tickets are not alwaysexpensive; some are can be made quite cheaper.51.How many of car journeys are just for fun in the UK?A. 25%.B. About 50%.C. 70%.D. Over 80%.52.

These stories often have a lesson to teach, too. Here are the stories of some everyday household inventions.Canned Food and the Can Opener—Get It Right!Peter Durand invented canned food in 1810, but there was a problem. Durand didn't have a good way to open the cans. In 1858, Ezra Warner invented a can opener. It used a piece of metal to cut and remove the top from the can, but it was difficult to use. Finally, in 1870, William Lyman added a wheel to the can opener. The metal went around the top of the can and removed it easily. Finally, people were able to open cans without a lot of work. Canned food was soon popular.Frozen Food—A Little Good Luck Can Help!Clarence Birdseye had the chance to go on a trip to如e Arctic. When people there caught fish, they put the fish in a container (容器) of ice to freeze it quickly. When people cooked the fish later, it was still good! This gave Birdseye an idea. He thought people could also have this kind of food at home. In 1926, Birdseye invented frozen food. People were able to store food in freezers for a long time.Air Conditioning—One Answer to Two Problems!Printing companies make books, so they use a lot of paper. Sometimes, changes in the weather can hurt the paper. In 1902, Willis Carrier invented air conditioning to control the temperature inside his printing company. This saved the paper. People soon realized other benefits of air conditioning. They started to air condition their homes in the summer. Carrier's invention changed the world!44. When was canned food invented?A. In 1810.B. In 1870.C. In 1902.D. In 1926.45. After the trip to the Arctic, Clarence Birdseye invented ____________.A. canned foodB. can openersC. frozen foodD. air conditioning46. Changes in weather _____________ in Willis Carrier's company.A. helped to keep foodB. hurt printing paperC. caused health problemsD. made rooms comfortable47.

Practical suggestions.答案:44—47 ACBA;四、东城区2015届九年级5月综合练习(一)BA Growing PlanDrew, Emilio, and Michisat at a picnic table in the City Park in Oklahoma. They didn’t care about the sounds around them.

She can help us design the garden, select plants, and create a budget (预算).”Drew nodded and made some more notes. “If we havea garden, think of all the lessonswe’ve learnt.

However, putting your feet on the table, using iPads, eating and drinking may also take place in school. Americans are famous for their casual (随意的)style. I didn’t think it was a big deal until I arrived here.I was told sitting still is what you should do in middle school. That is a traditional Chinese way to show that we are paying attention to what the teacher is saying. Meanwhile, it doesn’tseem to matter in the US. When I first saw a student lying on a sofa, I was shocked and thought the teacher may feel angry, but she didn’t. She just smiled and kept talking. Then I got used to it, and enjoyed the relaxing and comfortable position (姿势) in class. Yet it’s really easy to fall asleep if I feel too comfortable.Also, we don’t have uniforms at school. We can wear whatever we want. And teenagers here feel free to eat breakfast, snacks, and drink soda while teachers are talking. Teachers won’t feel upset and may even eat with them. Once, my English teacher was secretly eating a bag of chips in her seat.American teachers chat with students in class. It makes us feel closer to them. Although it does mean we go off topic easily. In comparision, Chinese teachers are strict, but it helps us to focus on our task.44. Where is the writer from?A. America.B. China.C. England.D. I don’t know.45.

A九、平谷区2014-2015学年度初三统练(一)BSometimes people call ours a "throwaway society". That means that we're always throwing away old things and buying new ones. Many times, you no longer need something, but someone else may just need to buy one. For example, if your baby doesn't like his toy car any longer, why not give it to a nearly family who has a little kid? That's one less plastic toy car that they need to buy. It's also one less plastic toy that needs to be produced, packaged and shipped to the toy store.Here arc some other ways to help the society save resources (资源):★Use the other side of the paper so that less trees are cut down.★Use rechargeable (可再充电的) batteries for your electric toys, MP3 players, cell phones, and cameras.★ Choose reusable travel cups instead of disposable (一次性的) paper or plastic cups.★Take your own cloth shopping bags instead of using the plastic bags that are offered when you go shopping. ★ Drink tap water instead of buying bottled water.And there are some things you can exchange with your friends, for example, books, toys, even clothes. It's a way for everyone to get something new without spending any money and without throwing many things away.45. What does “throwaway society” mean according to the passage?A. we don’t like old things.B. we don’t buy new things.C. we’re always throwing away old things.D. we’re always throwing away old thi ngs and buying new ones.46. What do we help the society if we give a second-hand toy car to a neighbor kid?A. Produce more new onesB. Develop fastC.Become richer and richerD. Save resources47.

It's good for us to throw away old things and buy new ones.D. We are supposed to give the things we no longer need to our neighbors.48. What should we do in our daily life after reading the passage?A. Try to throw as few old things as we can.B. Use as many disposable things as possible.C. Drink bottled water even though there is tap water around.D. Buy everything we need instead of exchanging them with others.答案:45-48 DDCA十、石景山区2015年初三英语一模试卷BAmerican English is full of colorful expressions. One such expression is to touch all bases.There are four bases in baseball – first, second, third and home plate. When a baseball player hits the ball, he must run to each base – in order – and touch it with his foot. It is the only way to get a point. If the player hits the ball and fails to touch all the bases, the point will not be counted.The importance of touching all the bases was shown at the start of the 1974 baseball seasons.Hank Aaron was a player with the Atlanta Braves team. He was trying to find the record for hitting the most home runs (全垒打). Aaron needed just one home run to be well matched with the record held by Babe Ruth, the greatest hitter in baseball history. Aaron got that home run the very first time he had a chance to hit the ball. That gave him 714 home runs – the same as Babe Ruth. After that day, baseball fans held their breath every time when it was Hank Aaron’s turn to hit. When would he hit home run number 715?The wait was not long. In the second week of the season, Aaron again hit the ball over the wall. He had b eaten Babe Ruth’s record. But first, he had to run around the four bases. The other players on his team watched carefully to make sure he touched each one.So, to touch all bases means to do what is necessary to complete an activity.The expression is used to business and politics. No business deal or political events are really complete until you discuss all the problems involved. Or, as it is said, until you touch all bases.【】44. When a baseball player hits the ball, he must ______ to get a point.A. run to each base freelyB. touch t he home plate firstC. touch all the bases with his handsD. run to each base in order and touch it with his foot【】45.

Soon the mother found a friend to talk to and her son ran off.At eight o’clock, the lights in the hall became weak, and the concert was set to start. The mother began to look for the boy. Then, she saw her 6-year-old son on stage. He was on the pianobench playing Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star.The mother was very amazed. Before she could get her son back, the famous pianist himself was on the stage and quickly moved to the piano.“Don’t stop. Keep playing,” he said kindly to the boy. The gr eat pianist reached down with his left hand and began filling in the bass (低音部) part of the song. Soon, his right arm reached around the other side and played a beautiful piece of music. Together, the old pianist and the little boy impressed people with their beautiful music.In all of our lives, we receive helping hands —some we notice, some we don’t. Equally we ourselves also have lots of chances to give a helping hand to others — sometimes we want people to know, sometimes we don’t. Little of what we all achieve comes without others’ help.

Who hasn’t had an emergency while traveling? Sometimes you’re miles from the nearest gas station or McDonald’s. Everyone knows that when you have to go, you have to go,” said Phil Bole.Phil has invented a chemical toilet for cars. One size fits all cars and people. It is made from recycled materials. “It never smells bad,” he says. Between uses, it can be stored in the trunk(后备箱). When the toilet is full, an adult or child can compress(挤压)it into the size of a bowling ball. The waste matter in the toilet is continuously being taken in by chemicals. All the waste matter even turns into a lot of dry crumbs. The toilet can be dropped into any trash can at any time.Phil tested his invention while on a two-week vacation with his wife and four young kids. He said that the kids loved it. His wife didn’t.“Nothing on earth could make me use that disgusting thing!” she told him. He said to her sincerely that he had invented the toilet mainly for women and kids. He needed a woman’s encouragement so the toilet would sell. “No women would ever use this thing!”she answered.“My wife’s kind of a prude(拘守礼仪的人),” Phil said one day to Bret, his workmate. After much thought, Phil finally figure out how to make his wife love his invention: he made a pink toilet covered with yellow flowers. “What more could a woman want?” he asked while showing it to Bret.

collar (项圈).Who would be so careless?I went inside and brought out a can of fish.The cat hungrily ate it up and then walked right inside the house.I wanted to get him out,but I hesitated.Our family never owned pets,but I had always wanted one.Just then,the cat meowed and jumped up onto my leg.Well,he seemed to like me!Maybe I didn't have to give him back after all!The cat kept me owing a lot.I knew I had to go to the store and get some cat food.On my way out,I saw a sign on the telephone pole:Black and white,very friendly.If you find him,please call us at 617﹣58463302.We are worried sick."Hmm,"I thought."If you were so worried about your kitten,maybe you should have taken better care of him!"When I walked into the pet store,I saw a group of kids hanging up notices about thissame cat there."I can't believe I lost my cat!"a little boy in a wheelchair cried to his parents."I couldn't get to the open door in time!"I looked at the notices on the wall.It was surely the cat I had back at home.Then the truth of the situation hit me:I had stolen a little boy's cat!Now I realized there was a lot I didn't understand.I tried to explain why I should keep the cat by convincing myself the owners deserved to lose him.Now I saw that it was all a big mistake.I walked to the little boy."I have your cat,"I told him."I'm sorry.I just found him and fed him.He's at my house."The little boy began to cry with laughter.He blew his nose and gave me a great big hug."Thank you so much!I was just about to put a new collar on him when he ran out of the door.I couldn't chase him!Because of

delivery!Each day,more and more people try online shopping.In fact,online sales have doubled in the last ten years.But not everyone is excited.Some scientists now say that online shopping is bad for the environment.People are surprised to hear this."They think,‘I don't need to drive,and the business doesn't need to build a store,so there will be less pollution,'"says Nuria Prost,an environmental scientist."But it is not so simple.In fact,online shopping is wasteful.It also adds to air pollution."In truth,the Internet is not always as good a friend to the environment as it seems.For example,most people thought that the Internet would help offices use less paper and other materials.But paper use increased by 33percent between 1986and 1997."Online shopping could have similarly negative effects,"says Nevil Cohen,a professor of environmental science.Part of the problem is what people are buying these days.In the past,people bought things on the Internet that did not require much packing material,such as books and clothing.But now people also shop online for large,heavy products such as televisions,computers,and furniture.These products need to be packed in large amounts of plastic and paper.This creates a lot of waste.Another problem caused by online shopping is air pollution.When customers buy products and ask for next﹣day delivery,companies often have to send them by air.Airplanes use much more fuel than cars and produce more carbon dioxide(CO2).When people buy a lot of different things from different online businesses,this creates even more travel by airplane.Online product returns are also a problem.For example,an online shoe store may allow customers to return shoes without extra pay if they are the wrong size.This doubles the packing material and number of airplane trips required to sell one pair of shoes."If people want to protect the environment,they need to think before they shop,"says Prost."People need to ask themselves:Is this exactly what I want?Do I really need it tomorrow,or can I wait?"Online stores can also charge(收费)customers for returns.This may make people shop more carefully."Online shopping is fast and easy,"says Prost,"but we can't forget the negative effects it has on the environment."48.Why does online shopping create a lot of waste?A.Because companies charge more for product returns.B.Because people buy too many things they don't need.C.Because paper use has increased by 33percent from 1986to 1997.D.Because large,heavy products require much packing material.49.What do companies do to meet the needs of the next﹣day delivery?A.Prepare more products.B.Get more workers to pack.C.Send the products by air.D.Open more stores in cities.50.Prost probably agrees that.A.people should drive to stores to buy thingsB.online shopping adds pollution to the environmentC.online shopping saves more than shopping in a storeD.people can buy things online without careful consideration51.What is probably the best title of the passage?A.A Good Deal to Make?B.A Different Lifestyle to Keep?C.A Cleaner Way to Shop?D.A New Business to Start?26.(8分)"You expect your friends to see you in a positive manner,but they also are observers of the personalities that could cause you an early death,"said Joshua Jackson,an assistant professor of psychology in Arts & Sciences.Published in the journal Psychological Science,the study shows that your personality at an early age can predict how long you will live across 75years and that close friends are usually better than you at recognizing these traits."Our study shows that people are able to observe and evaluate(评价)a friend's personality exactly enough to predict early death years down the road,"Jackson said."It suggests that people are able to see important characteristics related to health even when their friends were,for the most part,healthy and many years from death."While other studies have shown that a person's view of his or her own personality can be helpful in evaluating death risks,there has been little research on whether a close friend's personality evaluation might also predict the chances of a long life.To explore this question,Jackson and colleagues analyzed data(数据)from a longitudinal study that in the 1930s began following a group of young people in their mid﹣20s.The study included wide﹣ranging data on participant(参与者)personalities,both self﹣reported and as reported by close friends.Using information from follow﹣up studies and searches of death certificates(证书),Jackson and colleagues were able to record dates of death for all but a few study participants.Peer(同龄人)evaluations of personality were stronger predictors of death risks than were self﹣evaluations of personality."There are two possible reasons for the advantage of peer evaluations over self﹣evaluations,"Jackson said."First,friends may see something that you miss;they may have some insight that you do not.Second,because people have several friends,we are able to average the characteristics of any one friend to get a more trustworthy evaluation of personality.With self﹣reports,people may miss certain sides of themselves and we are not able to counteract(抵抗)that because there is only one you,only one self﹣report."The study also shows some gender differences in self﹣evaluation:Men's self﹣evaluations of personality were somewhat useful in predicting their lifespans(寿命),whereas the self﹣reports of women had little predictive value."This is one of the longest studies in psychology,"Jackson said."It shows how important personality is in influencing important life outcomes like health,and that information from friends can play a critical role in understanding a person's health issues.52.What can we learn from Paragraph 2?A.People's health is related to their friends.B.Friends can predict lifespans better than us.C.An early personality evaluation helps us live longer.D.The study shows most people can live across 75years.53.The underlined word"insight"in Paragraph 6probably means"".A.adviceB.influenceC.imaginationD.understanding54.Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A.People with more close friends have better personalities.B.Self﹣evaluations have advantages over peer evaluations.C.Men predict their lifespans more exactly than women.D.The findings are based on participants'disease data.55.What can we infer from the last paragraph?A.Friends'personality evaluations can help recognize health risks.B.Best friends play an important role in treating certain diseases.C.Psychology studies may influence personality development.D.Personality has little important effect on people's health.五、阅读短文,根据短文内容,从短文后的五个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项.每个选项只能用一次.27.(10分)The Same But

exercise.Aquatic exercise is a kind of exercise you do in a swimming pool.For example,you can run,walk,or even do a mind﹣body practice,such as yoga.More and more people are trying aquatic exercise.In the United States,the numberhas grown by 25% in recent years.People in other countries are also doing aquatic exercise more frequently.Aquatic exercise has many benefits.First of all,it feels easier than exercising on land.Why?You weigh about 90% less in the pool.It is also better for your knees than running or walking.Aquatic exercise feels easy,but you still burn calories(卡).Water is 1,000times

2015年北京市英语中考模拟试题专项阅读理解D篇汇编含答案
一.北京市朝阳区2015中考一模D“T he world has never been a better place to live in” says science writer Matt Ridley, “and it will keep on getting better.”Read on to see how Ridley makes his case. Right or wrong You decide.Compared with 50 years ago, when I was just four years old, people now make nearly three times as much money, eat one third more food and expect to live one third longer. In fact, it’s hard to find any areas of the world that’s worse off now than it was then, even though the world population has more than doubled over that period.One reason we are richer, healthier, taller, cleverer, longer-lived and freer than ever before is that the four most basic human needs—food, clothing, fuel and shelter—have grown much cheaper. Take one example: In 1800, a candle providing one hour’s light cost six hours’ work. In the 1880s, the same light from a lamp took 15 minutes’work to pay for. In 1950, it was eight seconds. Today, it’s half a second. In these terms, we are 43,200 times better off than in1800.In the United St ates, rivers, lakes, seas and air are getting cleaner all the time. A car today produces less pollution traveling at full speed than a parked car did from leaks (泄漏) in 1970.Although the world population is growing, the rate (率) of increase has been falling for 50 years. Across the world, national birth rates are lower now than in 1960, and in the less developed world, the birth rate has almost halved. According to a research report from the United Nations, population will start falling once it reaches 9.2 billion in 2075. After all, there are already seven billion people on earth, and they are eating better and better.In 1970s, there were 550 billion barrels (桶) of oil reserves (储存) in the world, and in the 20 years that followed the world use d up 600 billion. So by 1990, reserves should have been overused by 50 billion barrels. Instead, it is reported there are 900 billion today. They will last for many years and people will find something in place of oil long before they run out.The more we develop, the more we can develop. The more we invent, the more inventions become possible. For 200 years, pessimists (people who believe that terrible things will happen in future) have had all the headlines—even though optimists have far more often been right. There are some reasons for pessimists. No charity (慈善机构) ever raised money by saying things are getting better. No journalist ever got the front page writing a story about how terrible things won’t happen. Don’t be a pessimist—dare to be an optimist!52. Today, providing one hour’s light costs ______.A. 6 hours’ workB. 15 minutes’ workC. 8 seconds’ workD. 0.5second’s work53. Which of the following is true, according to the passageA. Things we used to need were much cheaper than they are today.B. The pollution today is much more serious than it was long ago.C. Population problem has nearly made the world stop developing.D. It’s not necessary to be worried about oil reserves in the world.54. What does the word “optimists” in the last paragraph meanA. People who are brave enough to face anything terrible.B. People who can always tell good things from bad ones.C. People who have hopeful and happy feelings about life.D. People who don’t easily believe what they’re told about.55. Which of the following can be the best title for the passageA. N ever Give UpB. Cheer UpC. Don’t Be SadD. Think Out(D)52. D 53. D 54. C 55. B二. 2015年顺义区初三第一次模拟练习DLanguages keeps evolving(进化、发展), and English is no exception. It is a language that embraces(欣然接受)new words that may be cool today but gone tomorrow.There are, however, some words and phrases that have stood the test of time. OK, which hasbecome the international standard for expressing agreement, is a good example.But why is this rather odd(奇怪的)expression so popular and so useful when we could use any number of other words to say the same thingWriting in The Times, Allen Metcalf, author of OK: The Improbable Story of America’s Greatest Word, writes: “What OK provided that the others did not was neutrality(中性), a way to express agreement without having to offer an opinion.”For example, if someone asks you “Shall we go for a walk after lunch” you can simply respond “OK”. There you go – no extra opinions. Just straight, plain old OK.So just where did this rather curious expression come from The origins of OK have been widely disputed (辩论,争论). Some people have guessed that OK was the name of a person or a product.Speakers of many different language s have had their say on this question, keen to claim theterm as their own.Writing an article for London’s Metro newspaper, Metcalf states: ‘O and K are present in every language of the world, as expressions that can be abbreviated(缩写) OK.” For example: French –“O qu-oui”, “yes indeed”; German –“Ohne Korrektur”, “ without correction needed”; and in Latin or Greek, “Olla kalla”, “all good”.But, does it sound a little too informal with this popular little Array expressionApparently not.In a speech wh ere he stated that his election (当选) would not be aradical (激进的) result to all problems, President Obama said: “… eventhough I am president…, AI-Qaida is still a threat(威胁) and that wecannot pretend somehow that because Barack Hussein Obama got elected as president, suddenly everything’s going to be OK,” he said.So, there you go, straight from the president. It’s OK to say OK, and thanks to the expression’s widespread usage across the world, you can be understood anywhere.58. Using the example of Obama, the author wants to show that________.A. there is still a long way to go to defeat Al-QaidaB. Obama likes to use OK when he speaksC. OK is widely used even on formal occasionsD. the use of OK is encouraged informal speech59. According to Allen Metcalf, OK differs from other terms to express agreement, which ofthe following opinions is trueA. It is easiest way to say.B. It doesn’t need emotion.C. It is the most commonly used.D. It doesn’t use in the formal speech.60. What is the best title for the passageA.Why OK is OK everywhere B.It’s OK to say OK in the world.C.Where did OK come from D.Everything is going to be OK.8.C 59.B 60.A三.北京市燕山2015年中考一模DNo one else knew about the extra (额外的) club in Zach Nash's golf bag. It belonged to a friend, and Zach forgot it was there as he played his way to win in ajunior tournament (锦标赛) this summer in Wisconsin, US.wrong. "Count your clubs," he told the teena ger.medalFifteen—one more than allowed. Zach's eyes filled with tears.If Zach had just won a basketball or a soccer game and someone had discovered an offence (违反) after the win, it would not have mattered.Bending the rules has become acceptable, if not encouraged, in many sports. It is nothing unusual for soccer players to make a turtle dive (假摔) in the hope of breaking rules.Golf is different. In a win at all costs world, the game holds itself to a higher standard.Golf isn't a game where referees (裁判) watch closely. In golf tournaments, dozens of competitors are spread across acres of land, so officials cannot hope to see each shot. Competitors call punishments on themselves.Players feel the weight of history. Golf began at least the 15th century, but it became popular as a pastime for the wealthy who seemed to always have strict rules of behavior, even when it came to shooting at each other in rights."It was a sport for gentlemen, not laborers, and gentlemen did not care about winning. They cared about doing the right thing," said Robert Simon, a golf coach at Hamilton College in New York.Honesty became a symbol of honor. When one of the game's early stars, Bobby Jones, was praised for calling a penalty on himself at the 1925 US Open. He replied, "You might as well praise a man for not robbing a bank."So even the error had no effect on Zach's final score—he never used the extra club, the teenager packed up his medal and dropped it in the mail. "But this was golf, and rules are rules. I just knew what I had to do," he said.Then came another tournament. Before teeing off, Zach counted his clubs four times.52.Zach Nash returned the medal he won in the junior tournament because________.A.he was caught cheating by a playerB.he decided to follow the rules of golfC.he used another player's club by mistakeD.he made a mistake counting his final score53. Which of the following statements about golf is TRUE according to the passageA.In golf, honor comes before win.B.Early golf players didn't care about the rules.C.Golf players usually do whatever it takes to win.D.Golf referees watch each shot and call punishments.54. The underlined phrase "teeing off" in the last paragraph probably means "____ ".A.getting started B.getting caught C.leaving D.winning 55. What is probably the best title of the passageA.Zach's medal. B.The history of golf.C.Honesty counts in golf. D.Golf is rich men's game. 52—55 BAAC四.东城区2015届中考一模DIt is an argument that has div ided the East and the West for centuries: Are chopsticks better than the knife and fork, or vice versa Now the winner may finally be decided, on environmental ground.Chopsticks are made from a variety of materials, but bamboo and wood chopsticksare more popular. They are usually cheaper, lower in temperature conduction and provide better sense for holding food. That’s why almost all disposable (一次性的) chopsticks are made of bamboo or wood. With cutting down 25 million fully-grown trees a year to make chopsticks, China has ranked number one among the producers. “We must change our habitsand encourag e people to take their own chopsticks when eating out,” said Mr. Bo, the owner of a forestry industry company in China. He even wentso faras to suggest that restaurants should offer metal knives and forks instead. If Mr. Bo’s suggestion is widely accepted, it would be a dark moment in chopsticks’ 4,000-year history.Chopsticks were invented in ancient China and later spread around Asia. They are not only used as eating tools but also used for cooking, stirring the fire and serving food. Koreans sometimes use metal chopsticks because of their love of barbecue (烧烤). Chinese chopsticks are longer than Korean and Japanese chopsticks in order to reach the dishes in the center of the table. There are 1.4 billion people using 80 billion pairs of disposable chopsticks in China every year. However, the most widespread use of disposable chopsticks is in Japan. Around a total of 24 billion pairs are used in Japan each year, which means each Japanese uses almost 200 pairs yearly. However, most of its disposable chopsticks have been imported (进口) from China, up to over90%.Today, China has to accept the truth that its forests can no longer provide enough chopsticks to feed Asian’s table habit. China is now the world’s largest importer of wood and even imports chopsticks from America. An American company said that the state’s native swee t gum and poplar wood would be perfectly used to make chopsticks. These materials do not need to be lightened with chemicals or bleach (漂白粉). The healthy materials and fairly reasonable prices of the products are appealingto Asian customers. More and more Asians start to use American-made chopsticks at their tables.Although the U.S. has a huge amount of wood, which reduces the number of trees that are cut down in Asia, changing the table habit of using disposable chopsticks still seems to be a wiser choice for chopsticks-using countries.52. According to Paragraph 2, Mr. Bo’s advice is that Chinese should ____________.A. use metal chopsticks instead of wooden onesB. plant more trees and produce fewer chopsticksC. form the habit of taking t heir own chopsticks when eating outD. change their habits and begin to use knives and forks a t home53. What do we know about chopsticks in AsiaA. Koreans mainly use chopsticks to cook food over a fire.B. Most disposable chopsticks in Japan are made in China.C. The most disposable chopsticks are used in Japan yearly.D. Chinese use the shortest chopsticks to take and serve food.54. The underlined word “appealing” in Paragraph 4 probably means ______A. normalB. necessaryC. attractiveD. surprising55. What’s the best title for the passageA. Time to Change the Materials for ChopsticksB. Time to Cut Down on Disposable ChopsticksC. Time to Import Disposable ChopsticksD. Time to Give UpUsing Chopsticks52-55 CBCB五.房山区2015年中考一模DHave you wondered why you have two eyes and why they are set close together on the front of your face The reasons are simple and important.Your eyes are like two small cameras. A camera catches an image(影像)of an object and records it on film. Similarly, when you look at something, each eye takes inwhat it sees and sends this image to the back of the eyeball. Because your eyes are set close together, they see the world from about the same height but from a little different angles(角度). While your right eye sees an object a little to the right, your left eye se es the same object a bit to the left.Working as a team, the eyes send the images to your brain, then your brain puts them together and you see a single image in the centre.Seeing in stereo means seeing with two eyes working together, which is called stereoscopic sight. This allows you to see the world in 3-D. Seeing depth(深度)helps you to judge how far it is between you and the objects you see, and then adjust (调整)to the changing angle so that you can see something clearly when you move closer or farther away. If images are coming from only one eye, however, height and width(宽度)—can be perceived.So if you see with one eye, you will geta2-D image, as in a photograph.Now consider why your two eyes are on the front of your face. Think of other animals just like you. They are all hunting(猎杀)animals, like lions and tigers. This provides a field of sight about 180 degree wide, which is called binocular sight. On the other hand, anim als that are hunted have eyes on the sides of the head, which provides nearly 360-degree field of sight. However, they don’t have stereoscopicsight. It is difficult for them to judge how far a danger is.With both stereoscopic and binocularsight, humansand hunting animals share the ability to see from side to side and tojudge how far it is from other objects. If you think it would be great to have another kind of sight, perhaps with hundreds of tiny eyes like many insects(昆虫) do, think again! Each tiny insect eye sees only a tiny part. Besides, what if you needed glasses Be glad for the eyesight that you have.52. In Paragraph 2, the writer wants to __________.A. tell us how our two eyes workB. show the importance of eyesC. compareour eyes with camerasD. suggest using two eyes properly53.The underlined word “perceived” in Paragraph 3means________.A. setB. takenC. seenD. made54. In the last paragraph, the writerthinks that “seeing in stereo” ______.A. is similar to the way a cameraworksB. is an ability humans are lucky to haveC. would be better for a wider field of sightD. helps people to have better sight than animals55.

A六.海淀区2015中考英语一模D“You expect your friends to see you in a positive manner, but they also are observers of the personalities that could cause you an early death,” said Joshua Jackson, an assistant professor of psychology in Arts & Sciences.Published in the journal Psychological Science, the study shows that your personality at an early age can predict how long you will live across 75 years and that close friends are usually better than you at recognizing these traits. “Our study s hows that people are able to observe and evaluate(评价)a friend’s personality exactly enough to predict early death years down the road,” Jackson said. “It suggests that people are able to see important characteristics related to health even when their frien ds were, for the most part, healthy and many years from death.”While other studies have shown that a person’s view of his or her own personality can be helpful in evaluating death risks, there has been little research on whether a close friend’s personali ty evaluation might also predict the chances of a long life.To explore this question, Jackson and colleagues analyzed data(数据)from a longitudinal study that in the 1930s began following a group of young people in their mid-20s. The study included wide-ranging data on participant(参与者)personalities, both self-reported and as reported by close friends.Using information from follow-up studies and searches of death certificates(证书), Jackson and colleagues were able to record dates of death for all but a few study participants. Peer(同龄人)evaluations of personality were stronger predictors of death risks than were self-evaluations of personality.“There are two possible reasons for the advantage of peer evaluations over self- evaluations,” Jackson said. “First, fr iends may see something that you miss; they may have some insight that you do not. Second, because people have several friends, we are able to average the characteristics of any one friend to get a more trustworthy evaluation of personality. With self-reports, people may miss certain sides of themselves and we are not able to counteract(抵抗)that because there is only one you, only one self-report.”The study also shows some gender differences in self-evaluation: Men’s self-evaluations of personality were somewhat useful in predicting their lifespans(寿命), whereas the self-reports of women had little predictive value.“This is one of the longe st studies in psychology,” Jackson said. “It shows how important personality is in influencing important life outcomes like health, and that information from friends can play a critical role in understanding a person’s health issues.52. What can we learn from Paragraph 2A. People’s hea lth is related to their friends.B. Friends can predict lifespans better than us.C. An early personality evaluation helps us live longer.D. The study shows most people can live across 75 years.53. The underlined word “insight” in Paragraph 6 probably means “_______”.A. adviceB. influenceC. imaginationD.understanding54. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passageA. People with more close friends have better personalities.B. Self-evaluations have advantages over peer evaluations.C. Men predict their lifespans more exactly than women.D. The findings are based on participants’ disease data.55. What can we infer from the last paragraphA. Friends’ personality evaluations can help recognize health risks.B. Best friends play an important role in treating certain diseases.C. Psychology studies may influence personality development.D. Personality has little important effect on people’s health.答案:52. B 53. D 54. C 55. A七:怀柔区 2015年中考一模DMost of us say that God, or destiny or whatever superior force that may exist in this universe (宇宙)is what makes us our future and guides us throughout our existence.I don’t claim there isn’t such a force that can guide us and take care of us, but the main element(要素) that helps us build up our future is our way of being. Our personality, our character, our way of perceiving(感知)reality and everything that surrounds us are what may bring us to the top, or opposite it, make us miserable.It’s simply your own choice if you don’t want to study, go to college or have a career. It really doesn’t matter if your parents threaten you, punish you or scold(责骂)you all the time. If you stick to be yourself and you think you know it all, then these are useless.You are the one who decides what job to have, in which city or country to live. It’s your choice and your responsibility. The moment you get hurt or something goes wrong, you blame yourself, and you start everything from the very beginning.You con sider that you can’t find your place in your own country, so you risk the comfortable but modest(谦虚的)life you have with your parents and you go abroad. Maybe there will be moments when you can’t stand any more the loneliness, the strangers around you, or your job. But remember that nobody made you take that decision, so you have to take a deep breath, and then go on, as it’s very difficult to find a guilty person when you know it well that you are the only one to be blamed.If you fall in love with a man from the very first moment you set your eyes on him and you don’t want to meet somebody else, to see how they are, it’s your wish. If you get married and the marriage ends in a year’s time, you can’t blame the rest as they all have told you to be careful and never to take hasty (轻率的)decisions.You play the Lottery each day and there are two choices: each you hit the jack pot and your life changes totally or you lose and you have to restart it from the very beginning. It’s known that if you don’t risk,you can’t win. So the best solution is always to think over your decisions, and to see what they can represent in your future. Only afterwords is proper for you to make up your mind.You are the only architect(建筑师)of your future. The best are only workerswho help you create your own dream.52. All the following build up our way of being EXCEPT __________.A. our characterB. our existenceC. our personalityD. our way of perceiving reality53. The underlined word “miserable”in Paragraph 2 can be replaced by “________”A. unhappyB. lonelyC. positiveD. careful54. Which of the following is NOT right according to the writer’s opinionA. You meet difficulties when you go abroad, but you should take a deep breath and go on.B. You must think it over before you make a decision for yourself.C. You get hurt after you choose to live in another city, but you blame your parents.D. You cannot make too fast decision before you marry a person.55. What is the best title for the passageA. Character Influences LifeB. A Good Beginning is Half DoneC. Stick to What is Right for UsD. Every Man Is the Architect of His Future答案:52-55 BACD八.门头沟区2014~2015学年度初三一模DDo American children still learn handwriting in Array school In the age of the keyboard, some people seemto think handwriting lessons are on the way out. 90%of teachers say they are required to teach handwriting.But studies have yet to answer the question of howwell they are teaching it. One of this year’s studiesfound that about three out of every four teachers saythey are not prepared to teach handwriting. Someteachers are teaching handwriting by providing instruction for 10 to 15 minutes a day, and then other teachers who basically teach it for 60 to 70 minutes a day — which really for handwriting is pretty much.Many adults remember learning that way —by copying letters over and over again. Today’s thinking is that short periods of practice are better. Many experts(专家) also think handwriting should not be taught by itself. Instead, they say it should be used as a way to get students to express ideas. After all, that is why we write.Handwriting involves two skills. One is legibility, which means forming the letters so they can be read. The other is fluency(流畅) — writing without having to think about it. Fluency continues to develop up until high school.But not everyone masters these s kills. Teachers commonly report that about onefourth of their kids have poor handwriting. Some people might think handwriting isnot important any more because of computers and voice recognition programs.But Steve Graham at Vanderbilt says word processing is seldom done in primary school, especially in the early years. American children traditionally first learn to print, and then to write in cursive, which connects the letters. But guess what we learned from a spokeswoman for the College Board(大学委员会). More than 75 percent of students choose to print their essay(article) on the test rather than write in cursive.52. From Paragraph 1 we can learn .A. teaching handwriting is a basic requirement in the teaching jobB. most teachers prefer to teach handwritingC. teachers spend little time in teaching handwritingD. a keyboard has taken the place of the handwriting53. Which of the following is WRONG for traditional handwriting in the USAA. Handwriting includes two skills.B. To write in cursive is taught first.C. The letters are repeated many times.D. The students are taught by practicing a long period.54. The underlined word “legibility” in Paragraph 3 means .A. easy to readB. easy to writeC. unexpectedD. unreadable55. The best title for the passage is .A. How to Improve Handwriting in SchoolB. Right or Wrong: the Death of HandwritingC. Handwriting Involves Two SkillsD. Handwriting Lessons Are on the Way Out答案:52.

B九.平谷区2014-2015学年度初三统练(一)DTo stop the childhood obesity epidemic(流行), health experts have long strongly advised parents to make healthy changes to their family's lifestyle—such as eating healthily, reducing TV time, exercising and getting a good night's sleep.These behaviors have been linked to a lower risk of obesity in kids, but researchers at Ohio State University were interested in learning whether their effect might be cumulative—that is, whether families who adopted(采用) not just one but two or more of these behaviors could reduce their children's risk of obesity even further.Led by Sarah Anderson, researchers studied data on 8,550 children in a national study, and found that indeed children who practiced two healthy lifestyle behaviors were slimmer than those who adopted only one behavior, while youngsters who implemented three beneficial habits were theleast likely to be overweight."If children had all three practices, their risk(风险) of obesity was 40% lower than children whohad none of the routines(常规)." Anderson says.The three behaviors that Anderson studied were eating dinner regularly with the family, limitingthe amount of time in front of the TV, and getting enough sleep. The children who were leastlikely to be too fat ate dinner with their families six or seven times a week, slept for at least 10.5 hours each night and watched less than two hours of television per day.The findings suggest that adopting these routines can be a powerful way for families to encourage healthy weight in their children, Anderson says.In addition, says Dr. David Ludwig, director of the Optimal Weight for Life Program, the routines are relatively easy for most families to adopt. "This is a beautifully simple study. It makes a very important point, and one that needs to be noticed time and again. These are all behaviors that are within the reach of us all."53. What does the underlined word "implemented" in Paragraph 3 probably meansA.Chose B.Supported C.Practiced D.Broke54. What can you infer from the passageA. Anderson studied more behaviors than three.B. Dr. David Ludwig agreed for Sarah Anderson.C. It’s not easy for us all to adopt all behaviors.D. The more practices children had, the lower risk of obesity there was.55. Which might be the best title for the passageA.Three Habits Help Kids Be Slimmer B.How to Lead a Good LifestyleC.It Is Not Easy to Be Slim D.How to Keep Kids off TV答案:53-55 C BA十.石景山区2015年初三英语一模试卷DWhen you meet someone for the first time, you will get a general idea in your mind of that person in the first moment. Your feelings about other people, however, are really just show the way that you look at yourself. Your reactions to others say more about you than they do about others. You cannot really love or hate about yourself. We are usually drawn to those who are most like us and may dislike those who have the same characters as ourselves that we dislike.Therefore, you can allow others to be the mirror to see more clearly your own feelings of self-worth. And, you can view the people you judge negatively (否定地) as mirrors to show you what you are not accepting about yourself.To live peacefully with others, you will need to learn patience. A big challenge is to let your judgment of others be a lifelong research of yourself. Your task is to consider all the decisions and judgments you make onto others carefully and to begin to see whether you can use them to help yourself and become whole.Several days ago I had a business lunch with a man who showed objectionable table manners. My first feeling was to judge him as rude. When I noticed that I was judging him, I stopped and asked myself what I was feeling. I discovered that I was nervous to be seen with someone who was eating with his mouth open and loudly blowing his nose. I was very surprised to find how much I cared about how the other people in the restaurant judged me.Remember that your judgment of someone will not serve as some kind of protective thing against you becoming like him. Just because I judge my lunch partner as rude, it does not prevent me from ever looking or acting like him. In the same way, my patience to him would not cause me to suddenly begin eating my food with my mouth open.When you get close to life in this manner, those with whom you hate very much as well as those whom you admire and love can be seen as mirrors, guiding you to discover parts of yourself that you dislike and to embrace your greatest characters you are proud of.【】52. In the writer’s opinion, when we judge others, we are really ______.A. treating them in a polite wayB. showing what we ourselves areC. guiding ourselves to know themD. telling them what they should do 【】53. Why did the writer feel bad when he was with his lunch partnerA. Because he was afraid he himself might get the bad habits.。

2015年北京市英语中考模拟试题专项阅读理解d篇汇编含答案
一.北京市朝阳区2015中考一模D“The world has never been a better place to live in” says science writer Matt Ridley, “and it will keep on getting better.”Read on to see how Ridley makes his case. Right or wrong? You decide.Compared with 50 years ago, when I was just four years old, people now make nearly three times as much money, eat one third more food and expect to live one third longer. In fact, it’s hard to find any areas of the world that’s worse off now than it was then, even though the world population has more than doubled over that period.One reason we are richer, healthier, taller, cleverer, longer-lived and freer than ever before is that the four most basic human needs—food, clothing, fuel and shelter—have grown much cheaper. Take one example: In 1800, a candle providing one hour’s light cost six hours’ work. In the 1880s, the same light from a lamp took 15 minutes’work to pay for. In 1950, it was eight seconds. Today, it’s half a second. In these terms, we are 43,200 times better off than in1800.In the United St ates, rivers, lakes, seas and air are getting cleaner all the time. A car today produces less pollution traveling at full speed than a parked car did from leaks (泄漏) in 1970.Although the world population is growing, the rate (率) of increase has been falling for 50 years. Across the world, national birth rates are lower now than in 1960, and in the less developed world, the birth rate has almost halved. According to a research report from the United Nations, population will start falling once it reaches 9.2 billion in 2075. After all, there are already seven billion people on earth, and they are eating better and better.In 1970s, there were 550 billion barrels (桶) of oil reserves (储存) in the world, and in the 20 years that followed the world use d up 600 billion. So by 1990, reserves should have been overused by 50 billion barrels. Instead, it is reported there are 900 billion today. They will last for many years and people will find something in place of oil long before they run out.The more we develop, the more we can develop. The more we invent, the more inventions become possible. For 200 years, pessimists (people who believe that terrible things will happen in future) have had all the headlines—even though optimists have far more often been right. There are some reasons for pessimists. No charity (慈善机构) ever raised money by saying things are getting better. No journalist ever got the front page writing a story about how terrible things won’t happen. Don’t be a pessimist—dare to be an optimist!52. Today, providing one hour’s light costs ______.A. 6 hours’ workB. 15 minutes’ workC. 8 seconds’ workD. 0.5second’s work53. Which of the following is true, according to the passage?A. Things we used to need were much cheaper than they are today.B. The pollution today is much more serious than it was long ago.C. Population problem has nearly made the world stop developing.D. It’s not necessary to be worried about oil reserves in the world.54. What does the word “optimists” in the last paragraph mean?A. People who are brave enough to face anything terrible.B. People who can always tell good things from bad ones.C. People who have hopeful and happy feelings about life.D. People who don’t easily believe what they’re told about.55. Which of the following can be the best title for the passage?A. N ever Give UpB. Cheer UpC. Don’t Be SadD. Think Out(D)52.D 53. D 54.C 55. B二. 2015年顺义区初三第一次模拟练习DLanguages keeps evolving(进化、发展), and English is no exception. It is a language that embraces(欣然接受)new words that may be cool today but gone tomorrow.There are, however, some words and phrases that have stood the test of time. OK, which hasbecome the international standard for expressing agreement, is a good example.But why is this rather odd(奇怪的)expression so popular and so useful when we could useany number of other words to say the same thing?Writing in The Times, Allen Metcalf, author of OK: The Improbable Story of America ’s Greatest Word, writes: “What OK provided that the others did not was neutrality(中性), a way toexpress agreement without having to offer an opinion.”For example, if someone asks you “Shall we go for a walk after lunch?” you can simplyrespond “OK ”. There you go –no extra opinions. Just straight, plain old OK. So just where did this rather curious expression come from? The origins of OK have beenwidely disputed (辩论,争论). Some people have guessed that OK was the name of a person or aproduct.Speakers of many different language s have had their say on this question, keen to claim theterm as their own.Writing an article for London ’s Metro newspaper, Metcalf states: ‘O and K are present inevery language of the world, as expressions that can be abbreviated(缩写) OK.” F or example:French –“O qu -oui ”, “yes indeed ”; German –“Ohne Korrektur ”, “ without correction needed”; and in Latin or Greek, “Olla kalla ”, “all good ”.But, does it sound a little too informal with this popular little expression?Apparently not.In a speech wh ere he stated that his election (当选) would not be aradical (激进的) result to all problems, President Obama said: “… eventhough I am president …, AI -Qaida is still a threat(威胁) and that wecannot pretend somehow that because Barack Hussein Obama got electedas president, suddenly everythin g ’s going to be OK,” he said.So, there you go, straight from the president. It ’s OK to say OK, andthanks to the expression ’s widespread usage across the world, you can be understood anywhere.58. Using the example of Obama, the author wants to show that________.A. there is still a long way to go to defeat Al-QaidaB. Obama likes to use OK whenhe speaksC. OK is widely used even on formal occasionsD. the use of OK is encouraged in formalspeech59. According to Allen Metcalf, OK differs from other terms to express agreement, which ofthe following opinions is true?A. It is easiest way to say.B. It doesn ’tneedemotion. C. It is the most commonly used. D. It doesn ’t use in the formal speech.60. What is the best title for the passage?A .Why OK is OK everywhere?B .It ’s OK to say OK in the world.C .Where did OK come from?D .Everything is going to be OK.8.C 59.B60.A三.北京市燕山2015年中考一模DNo one else knew about the extra (额外的) club in Zach Nash's golf bag. Itbelonged to a friend, and Zach forgot it was there as he played his way to win in ajunior tournament (锦标赛) this summer in Wisconsin, US.The 14-year-old accepted his medal, and celebrated with grandparentswho had come from a long way to watch. But when he stopped by hiscountry club to share the news, a professional player noticed something wrong. "Count your clubs," he told the teena ger.Fifteen —one more than allowed. Zach's eyes filled with tears. clubsmedalIf Zach had just won a basketball or a soccer game and someone had discovered an offence (违反) after the win, it would not have mattered.Bending the rules has become acceptable, if not encouraged, in many sports. It is nothing unusual for soccer players to make a turtle dive (假摔) in the hope ofbreaking rules.Golf is different. In a win at all costs world, the game holds itself to a higher standard.Golf isn't a game where referees (裁判) watch closely. In golf tournaments, dozens of competitors are spread across acres of land, so officials cannot hope to see each shot. Competitors call punishments on themselves.Players feel the weight of history. Golf began at least the 15th century, but it became popular as a pastime for the wealthy who seemed to always have strict rules of behavior, even when it came to shooting at each other in rights."It was a sport for gentlemen, not laborers, and gentlemen did not care about winning. They cared about doing the right thing," said Robert Simon, a golf coach at HamiltonCollege in New York.Honesty became a symbol of honor. When one of the game's early stars, Bobby Jones, was praised for calling a penalty on himself at the 1925 US Open. He replied, "You might as well praise a man for not robbing a bank."So even the error had no effect on Zach's final score—he never used the extra club, the teenager packed up his medal and dropped it in the mail. "But this was golf, and rules are rules. I just knew what I had to do," he said.Then came another tournament. Before teeing off,Zach counted his clubs four times.52.Zach Nash returned the medal he won in the junior tournament because________.A.he was caught cheating by a playerB.he decided to follow the rules of golfC.he used another player's club by mistakeD.he made a mistake counting his final score53. Which of the following statements about golf is TRUE according to the passage?A.In golf, honor comes before win.B.Early golf players didn't care about the rules.C.Golf players usually do whatever it takes to win.D.Golf referees watch each shot and call punishments.54. The underlined phrase"teeing off" in the last paragraph probably means "____ ".A.getting started B.getting caught C.leaving D.winning55. What is probably the best title of the passage?A.Zach's medal. B.The history of golf.C.Honesty counts in golf. D.Golf is rich men's game.52—55 BAAC四.东城区2015届中考一模DIt is an argument that has divided the East and the West for centuries: Arechopsticks better than the knife and fork, or vice versa? Now the winner may finally be decided, on environmental ground.Chopsticks are made from a variety of materials, but bamboo and wood chopsticksare more popular. They are usually cheaper, lower in temperature conduction and provide一次性的) chopsticks arebetter sense for holding food. That’s why almost all disposable (made of bamboo or wood. With cutting down 25 million fully-grown trees a year to makechopsticks, China has ranked number one among the producers. “We must change our habitsand encourage people to take their own chopsticks when eating out,” said Mr. Bo,the owner of a forestry industry company in China. He even wentso faras to suggest thatrestaurants should offer metal knives and forks instead. If Mr. Bo’s suggestion is widely-year history.accepted, it would be a dark moment in chopsticks’ 4,000Chopsticks were invented in ancient China and later spread around Asia. They are notonly used as eating tools but also used for cooking, stirring the fire and serving food. Koreanssometimes use metal chopsticks because of their love of barbecue (烧烤). Chinese chopsticksare longer than Korean and Japanese chopsticks in order to reach the dishes in the center ofthe table. There are 1.4 billion people using 80 billion pairs of disposable chopsticks in Chinaevery year. However, the most widespread use of disposable chopsticks is in Japan. Around atotal of 24 billion pairs are used in Japan each year, which means each Japanese uses almost200 pairs yearly. However, most of its disposable chopsticks have been imported(进口) from China, up to over90%.Today, China has to accept the truth that its forests can no longer provide enough chopsticksto feed Asian’s table habit. China is now the world’s largest importer of wood and even imports chopsticks from America. An American company said that the state’s native sweet gum and poplar wood would be perfectly used to make chopsticks. These materials do notneed to be lightened with chemicals or bleach (漂白粉). The healthy materials and fairlyreasonable prices of the products are appealingto Asian customers. More and more Asiansstart to use American-made chopsticks at their tables.Although the U.S. has a huge amount of wood, which reduces the number of trees that are cutdown in Asia, changing the table habit of using disposable chopsticks still seems to be a wiserchoice for chopsticks-using countries.52. According to Paragraph 2, Mr. Bo’s advice is that Chinese should ____________.A. use metal chopsticks instead of wooden onesB. plant more trees and produce fewer chopsticksC. form the habit of taking t heir own chopsticks when eating outD. change their habits and begin to use knives and forks at home53. What do we know about chopsticks in Asia?A. Koreans mainly use chopsticks to cook food over a fire.B. Most disposable chopsticks in Japan are made in China.C. The most disposable chopsticks are used in Japan yearly.D. Chinese use the shortest chopsticks to take and serve food.54. The underlined word “appealing” in Paragraph 4 probably means ______A. normalB. necessaryC. attractiveD. surprisingfor the passage?55. What’s the best titleA. Time to Change the Materials for ChopsticksB. Time to Cut Down on Disposable ChopsticksC. Time to Import Disposable ChopsticksD. Time to Give UpUsing Chopsticks52-55 CBCB五.房山区2015年中考一模DHave you wondered why you have two eyes and why they are set close togetheron the front of your face? The reasons are simple and important.Your eyes are like two small cameras. A camera catches an image(影像)of anobject and records it on film. Similarly, when you look at something, each eye takes inwhat it sees and sends this image to the back of the eyeball. Because your eyes are setclose together, they see the world from about the same height but from a littledifferent angles(角度). While your right eye sees an object a little to the right, yourleft eye se es the same object a bit to the left.Working as a team, the eyes send theimages to your brain, then your brain puts them together and you see a single image inthe centre.Seeing in stereo means seeing with two eyes working together, which is calledstereoscopic sight. This allows you to see the world in 3-D. Seeing depth(深度)helps you to judge how far it is between you and the objects you see, and then adjust(调整)to the changing angle so that you can see something clearly when you movecloser or farther away. If images are coming from only one eye, however, height andwidth(宽度)—can be p erceived.So if you see with one eye, you will geta2-D image,as in a photograph.Now consider why your two eyes are on the front of your face. Think of otheranimals just like you. They are all hunting(猎杀)animals, like lions and tigers. Thisprovides a field of sight about 180 degree wide, which is called binocular sight. Onthe other hand, anim als that are hunted have eyes on the sides of the head, whichprovides nearly 360-degree field of sight. However, they don’t have stereoscopicsight.It is difficult for them to judge how far a danger is.With both stereoscopic and binocularsight, humansand hunting animals share theability to see from side to side and tojudge how far it is from other objects. If youthink it would be great to have another kind of sight, perhaps with hundreds of tinyeyes like many insects(昆虫) do, think again! Each tiny insect eye sees only a tinypart. Besides, what if you needed glasses? Be glad for the eyesight that you have.52. In Paragraph 2, the writer wants to __________.A. tell us how our two eyes workB. show the importance of eyesC. compareour eyes with camerasD. suggest using two eyes properlyperceived” in Paragraph 3means________.53.The underlined word “A. setB. takenC. seenD. made54. In the last paragraph, the writerthinks that “seeing in stereo” ______.A. is similar to the way a cameraworksB. is an ability humans are lucky to haveC. would be better for a wider field of sightD. helps people to have better sight than animals55. What is probably the best title for this passage?A. Seeing in StereoB. Protecting your eyesC. Treasuring your eyesD. Seeing with eyes答案:52. A 53. C 54. B 55.

The study included wide-ranging data on participant(参与者)personalities,both self-reported and as reported by close friends.Using information from follow-up studies and searches of death certificates(证书), Jackson and colleagues were able to record dates of death for all but a few study participants. Peer(同龄人)evaluations of personality were stronger predictors ofdeath risks than were self-evaluations of personality.“There are two possible reasons for the advantage of peer evaluations over self- evaluations,” Jackson said. “First, friends may see something that you miss; they may have some i nsight that you do not. Second, because people have several friends, weare able to average the characteristics of any one friend to get a more trustworthyevaluation of personality. With self-reports, people may miss certain sides of(抵抗)that because there is only one you, themselves and we are not able to counteractonly one self-report.”The study also shows some gender differences in self-evaluation: Men’sself-evaluations of personality were somewhat useful in predicting their lifespans(寿命), whereas the self-reports of women had little predictive value.s how “This is one of the longe st studies in psychology,” Jackson said. “It show important personality is in influencing important life outcomes like health, and thatinformation from friends can play a critical role in understanding a person’shealthissues.52.

In the age of the keyboard, some people seemto think handwriting lessons are on the way out. 90%of teachers say they are required to teach handwriting.But studies have yet to answer the question of how well they are teaching it. One of this year ’s studies found that about three out of every four teachers saythey are not prepared to teach handwriting. Someteachers are teaching handwriting by providing instruction for 10 to 15 minutes a day, and then other teachers who basically teach it for 60 to 70 minutes a day — which really for handwriting is pretty much.Many adults remember learning that way —by copying letters over and over again. Today ’s thinking is that short periods of practice are better. Many experts (专家) also think handwriting should not be taught by itself. Instead, they say it should be used as a way to get students to express ideas. After all, that is why we write.Handwriting involves two skills. One is legibility , which means forming the letters so they can be read. The other is fluency(流畅) —writing without having to think about it. Fluency continues to develop up until high school.But not everyone masters these s k ills. Teachers commonly report that about one fourth of their kids have poorhandwriting. Some people might think handwriting is not important any more because of computers and voice recognition programs.But Steve Graham at Vanderbilt says word processing is seldom done in primary Do American children still learn handwriting in school?Cursive Writingschool, especially in the early years. American children traditionally first learn to print, and then to write in cursive, which connects the letters. But guess what we learned from a spokeswoman for the College Board(大学委员会).More than 75 percent of students choose to print their essay(article) on the test rather than write in cursive.52. From Paragraph 1 we can learn.A. teaching handwriting is a basic requirement in the teaching jobB. most teachers prefer to teach handwritingC. teachers spend little time in teaching handwritingD. a keyboard has taken the place of the handwriting53.

Anderson says.The three behaviors that Anderson studied were eating dinner regularly with the family, limitingthe amount of time in front of the TV, and getting enough sleep. The children who were leastlikely to be too fat ate dinner with their families six or seven times a week, slept for at least 10.5hours each night and watched less than two hours of television per day.The findings suggest that adopting these routines can be a powerful way for families to encourage healthy weight in their children, Anderson says.In addition, says Dr. David Ludwig, director of the Optimal Weight for Life Program, the routinesare relatively easy for most families to adopt. "This is a beautifully simple study. It makes a very important point, and one that needs to be noticed time and again. These are all behaviors that are within the reach of us all."53. What does the underlined word "implemented" in Paragraph 3 probably means?A.Chose B.Supported C.Practiced D.Broke54. What can you infer from the passage?A.

Your feelings about other people, however, are really just show the way that you look at yourself. Your reactions to others say more about you than they do about others. You cannot really love or hate about yourself. We are usually drawn to those who are most like us and may dislike those who havethe same charactersas ourselves that we dislike. Therefore, you can allow others to be the mirror to see more clearly your own feelings of self-worth. And, you can view the people you judge negatively (否定地) as mirrors to show you what you are not accepting about yourself.To live peacefully with others, you will need to learn patience. A big challenge is to let your judgment of others be a lifelong research of yourself. Your task is to consider all the decisions and judgments you make onto others carefully and to begin to see whether you can use them to help yourself and become whole.Several days ago I had a business lunch with a man who showed objectionable table manners. My first feeling was to judge him as rude.When I noticed that I was judging him, I stopped and asked myself what I was feeling. I discovered that I was nervous to be seen with someone who was eating with his mouth open and loudly blowing his nose. I was very surprised to find how much I cared about how the other people in the restaurant judged me.Remember that your judgment of someone will not serve as some kind of protective thing against you becoming like him. Just because I judge my lunch partner as rude, it does not prevent me from ever looking or acting like him. In the same way, mypatience to him would not cause me to suddenly begin eating my food with my mouth open.When you get close to life in this manner, those with whom you hate very much as well as those whom you admire and love can be seen as mirrors, guiding you to discover parts of yourself thatyou dislike and to embrace your greatest characters you are proud of.【】52. In the writer’s opinion, when we judge others, we are really ______.A. treating them in a polite wayB. showing what we ourselves areC. guiding ourselves to know themD. telling them what they should do 【】53. Why did the writer feel bad when he was with his lunch partner?A. Because he was afraid he himself might get the bad habits.B. Because he was too angry to go on with his lunch any more.C. Because he was afraid he might be thought badly of by others.。

Her first experiments began with Alex. Alex was a one-year-old African grey parrot and Irene taught him to produce the sou nds of the English language. ―I thought if he learned to communicate, I could ask him questions about how he sees the world.‖At the time, most scientists didn’t believe animals had any thoughts. They thought animals were more like robots but didn’t have t he ability to think or feel. Of course, if you own a pet you probably disagree. But it is the job of a scientist to prove this and nowadays more scientists accept that animals can think for themselves.―That’s why I started my studies with Alex,‖ Irene said, ―Some people actually called me crazy for trying this.‖Nowadays, we have more and more evidence that animals have all sorts of mental abilities. Sheep can recognize faces. Chimpanzees (黑猩猩) use a variety of tools and even use weapons to hunt. And Alex the parrot became a very good talker.Thirty years after the Alex studies began. Irene was still giving him English lessons up until his recent death. For example, if Alex was hungry he could say ―want grape‖. Alex could count to six and was learning the sounds for seven and eight. ―He has to hear the words over and over before he can correctly say them.‖ Irene said, after pronouncing ―seven‖ for Alex a few times in a row. Alex could also tell the difference between colors, shapes, sizes, and materials (e.g. wood and metal). Before he finally died, Alex managed to say ―seven‖.Another famous pet that proved some animals have greater mental skills was a dog called Rico. He appeared on a German TV game show in 2011. Rico knew the names of 200 different toys and easily learned the names of new ones. When Rico became famous, many other dog owners wanted to show how clever their pets were. Another dog called Betsy could understand 300 words.One theory for dogs’ ability to learn a language is that they have been close companions to humans for many centuries and so their ability to understand us is constantly evolving (进化). While animals can’t do what humans do yet, some scientists believe that examples like Alex and Rico prove that evolution develops intelligence, as well as physical appearance.56. Irene wanted to find out __________.A. what a parrot thinksB. why a parrot can speakC. how parrots make soundsD. if parrots speak English57. Alex learnt new words by __________.A. singing themB. reading themC. writing themD. rehearing them58. The two dogs mentioned in the article could _______.A. understand some wordsB. recognize strange voicesC. copy human gesturesD. tell different colors59. The article concludes that ___________.A. our pets understand what we sayB. dogs may speak to humans one dayC. humans are related to chimpanzeesD. mental ability can evolve in animalsCoaches are the base of my life, next to my mother who raised me when my dad left us. I have been into sports since I was six years old. I have known many coaches and heard hundreds of their tips, but they usually focused on drills to develop my skills and reach the next level of play.When I was in Senior Two, I met the new school basketball coach, Brian Pawloski. I thought I was certain to be selected for the school team since I had been in it the year before. I showed up to the tryouts and put out about 90% effort since I thought I’d make it with no problem. That was a big mistake.Brian Pawloski is the hardest-working coach I have ever met. He didn’t expect 100% effort, he expected 200% effort. One example: he once made us do 40 suicide drills for the 40 lay-ups (投篮) we missed in a game. Some think this is crazy, but it isn’t. After this conditioning practice, as we were getting a cup of cold water to drink, I said, ―coach, that was the best practice I ever had.‖ I was completely sincere. This man was and is the person who influenced me most at my high school. He expects us to be excellent not just on the court but in the classroom. If I am not working on basketball, I am reading a book that he thinks will help us better understand life’s challenges, including Wooden, Coach, and The Screwtape Letters.In the first two years I slacked off, not putting forth my full potential. Now, unlike the coaches of my youth, this man was interested in how he did off the court. He always made sure I kept up with my studies and was able to be trusted. I can honestly say that on other coach has given me so much advice on how to succeed in basketball, but more importantly, in life. My school is lucky to have such a great person to teach, coach and influence their students. I will always remember my high-school basketball days as one of the hardest times I have ever worked in my life not only in basketball but in my growth as an individual.60. Different from other coaches, Coach Brian ________.A. concentrated on skill trainingB. trained the team to the edge of deathC. expected the team to do well in their studiesD. asked the team to do more reading than training61. The underlined phrase ―slacked off‖ in the last paragraph probably means ________.A. paid no attentionB. showed no interestC. had less passionD. made less effort62. In the author’s eye, Coach Brian is ________.A. strict and helpfulB. hardworking and honestC. skilled and cruelD. professional and seriousAs we grow old, we realize that we have so little time to read and there are so many great books that we’ve yet to get around to. Ye re-readers are everywhere around us. For certain fans, re-reading The Lord of the Rings is a conventional practice annually. One friend told me that Jane Austen’s Emma can still surprise him, despite his having read it over 50 times.New sudden clear understandings can be gained from the process of re-reading. Journalist Rebacca Mead, a long-time Englishwoman in New York, fir st came across George Eliot’s Middlemarch at 17. Since then, she has read it again every five years. With each re-reading, it has opened up further; in each chapter of her life, it has resonated (引起共鸣) differently. Mead evidenced the large number of ways in which really good books not only stand the test of repeat reads, but also offer fresh gifts each time we crack their spines. These kinds of books grow with us.Scientists have also recognized the mental health benefits of re-reading. Research conducted with readers in the US found that on our first reading, we are concerned with the ―what‖ and the ―why‖. Second time round, we’re able to better appreciate the emotions that the plot continues to express. As researcher Cristel Russell of the American University explained, returning to a book ―brings new or renewed appreciation of both the great book and its readers.‖It’s true that we often find former selves on the pages of old books (if we’re fond of making notes on the pages). These texts can carry us back to a time and place, and remind us of the kind of person that we were then. We’re changed not only by lived experience but also by read experience –by the books that we’ve discovered since last reading the one in our hand.More so than the movie director or the musician, the writer calls upon our imaginations, using words to lead us to picture this declaration of love or that unfaithfulness in life. A book is a joint project between writers and readers, and we must pour so much of ourselves into reading that our own life story can become connected with the story in the book.Perhaps what’s really strange is that we don’t re-read more often. After all, we watch our favourite films again and we wouldn’t think of listening to an album only once. We treasure m essy old paintings as objects, yet of all art forms, literature alone is a largely one-time delight. A book, of course, takes up more time, but as Mead confirms, the rewards make it adequately worthwhile.63. The two books are mentioned in Paragraph 1 mainly to __________.A. attract the attention of readersB. introduce the topic of the passageC. provide some background informationD. show the similarity between re-readers64. The underlined expression ―crack their spines‖ in Paragraph 2 refers to ________.A. recite themB. re-read themC. recall themD. retell them65. It can be learned from the passage that __________.A. reading benefits people both mentally and physicallyB. readers mainly focus on feelings on their first readingC. we know ourselves better through re-reading experienceD. writers inspire the same imaginations as film directors do66. The purpose of the passage is to __________.A. call on different understandings of old booksB. focus on the mental health benefits of readingC. bring awareness to the significance of re-readingD. introduce the effective ways of re-reading old booksEvery day we are exposed to images, videos, music and news. In this age of visual and aural hyper-stimulation, the medium of radio is making a great comeback.―We’re at the beginning of a golden age of audio,‖ said US-based podcaster Alex Blumberg in an article in The Sydney Morning Herald. In the last month alone, 15 percent of US adults listened to a radio podcast (播客). These statistics, released by Edison Research, show the successful evolution of traditional radio broadcasts to the pres ent day’s digital podcast format. The term ―podcast‖ was invented in 2004, but the trend only started gaining mainstream popularity in recent years. With the sharp increase in consumer demand for smartphones and tablets, podcast sales have jumped.The appeal of the podcast partly lies in its multiplatform delivery and on-demand capabilities (功能). You can listen during those extra minutes of the day when you’re walking to the shops, waiting in a queue or riding the subway. Similar to television shows, podcasts are generally free to download and most offer new content every week.Donna Jackson, 22, Sydney University media graduate, listens to podcasts two or three times a week, via iTurns. ―I listen while I’m wandering around the house doing something else. It makes completing a boring task much more enjoyable… And it’s an easy way of keeping in touch with what’s going on in the rest of the world,‖ she said, ―I mainly listen to BBC podcasts, but recently I’ve also been listening to This American Life and Serial. They have a special skill to really draw you in.‖Unlike television and music, the audio format has the potential to create a deep impression on readers. Blumberg says this owes to the podcast’s ability ―to create close relationship and emotional connection.‖ Sydney University undergraduate Hazel Proust, majoring in social work and arts, agrees. ―When you’re listening, it feels as if the voice of the podcast’s storyteller is talking directly to you. It’s comforting, ‖ said Proust.It seems the age-old tradition of verbal storytelling is very much alive and well.67. From the first two paragraphs, we can learn that ________.A. traditional broadcast has come backB. Americans love listening to the radioC. podcasts have become very popular todayD. smartphones sell well because of podcasts68. The writer mentions Donna Jackson mainly to ________.A. tell how young people relax themselvesB. explain why young people like podcastsC. introduce what programs podcasts are presentingD. show how popular podcasts are presenting69. Paragraph 5 is mainly about ________.A. the influence of radiosB. the advantage of podcastsC. readers’ impression on radiosD. people’s reaction to the medium70. What is probably the best title of the passage?A. Return of RadioB. Opinions of PodcastC. Features of RadioD. Technology of Podcast第二节(共5小题;每小题2分,共10分)House SittingIn many countries of the world people do what is called house sitting. It means that if owners of the house are going away, they want someone to come into their home and look after the house and maybe pets while they are away.In Australia, many people travel. After people retire, they might buy a van and travel all over the country. 71 So if someone wants to travel or go away for some reason, they might want someone in their home to care for it and keep the gardens tidy. House sitters might have to care for pets. Also, quite a few people have swimming pools in their back yard and they need cleaning. 72 I feel it is a great way of seeing the country, because you go and stay in a new city, get to meet new people, and have time to go sightseeing in a new area.73 There are websites where you find the advertisements by people who want to travel, and by replying to the advertisement, you can make arrangements to go and look after their home.There are some requirements to be a house sitter. You must be a trusted person, so that the home owner knows you will not steal anything. You must be able to go when the house owner wants you to go, so you need lots of free time. 74 You need to be good with pets, able to care for cats and dogs, or other pets they may have.Some house sitting jobs are just for a few days or a couple of weeks while the house owner have a short holiday. Sometimes it is for much longer. We have had one house sit for six months, while the home owner travelled to Europe.75 Then you can travel to many different countries and stay there. One of the important things to get are references from the home owners where you have stayed. A reference is a written letter to say that you are trustworthy and have looked after their home well. You can show these letters to prospective house sitting jobs and they know you will do a good job.A. I have done house sitting many times.B. Thousands of people do this all the time.C. It is also possible to do house sitting in other countries.D. Generally you have many opportunities to get a house sitting job.E. You must take a little care over what your description says about you.F. This is an international house sitting service for all city and country areas.G. You must have a good car, so you can travel to different parts of the country.第四部分:书面表达(共两节,35分)第一节(15分)假设你是校图书馆馆长的学生助理李华,图书馆要进行网络系统升级,请在阅览室向在场的留学生口头通知相关事宜,并请他们转告其他留学生。

In 1977, Irene Pepperberg of Harvard University began studying what was on anothercreature's mindby talking to it. Her first experiments began with Alex. Alex was a one﹣year﹣oldAfrican grey parrot andIrene taught him to make the sounds of the English language. "I thoughtif he learned to communicate, Icould ask him questions about how he sees the world."At the time, most scientists didn't believe animals had any thoughts. They thought animalswere more like robots but didn't have the ability to think or feel. Of course, if you own a pet, youprobably disagree. But it is the job of a scientist to prove this and these days more scientists acceptthat animals can think for themselves."That's why I started my studies with Alex, " Irene said, "Some people, in fact, called mecrazy for trying this."These days, we have more and more proofs that animals have all kinds of mental abilities. Sheep cantell faces from each other. Chimpanzees(黑猩猩)use different kinds of tools and even use weapons tohunt. And Alex, the parrot became a very good talker.Thirty years after the Alex studies began, Irene was still giving him English lessons until hisrecentdeath. For example, if Alex was hungry, he could say "want grape". Alex could count to sixand waslearning the sounds for seven and eight. "He has to hear the words over and over before he can correctlysay them."Irene said, after pronouncing "seven" for Alex a few times in a row. Alexcould also tell the difference between colors, shapes, sizes, and materials (e.g. wood and metal). Before he finally died, Alex managed to say "seven".Another famous pet that proved some animals have greater mental skills was a dog calledRico. He appeared on a German TV game show in 2011. Rico knew the names of 200 different toysand easily learned the names of new ones. When Rico became famous, many other dog ownerswanted to show how clever their pets were. Another dog called Betsy could understand 300 words.One theory for dogs' ability to learn a language is that they have been close companions tohumansfor many centuries and so their ability to understand us is constantly evolving (进化). While animalscan't do what humans do yet, some scientists believe that examples like Alex andRico prove thatevolution develops intelectual ability, as well as physical appearance.(1)Irene wanted to find out________.A what a parrot thinks.B why a parrot can speak.C how parrots make sounds.D if parrots speak English.(2)Alex learned new words by________.A singing them.B reading them.C writing them.D rehearing them.(3)The two dogs mentioned in the article could________.A understand some words.B recognize strange voices.C copy human movements.D tell different colors.(4)The article concludes that________.A our pets understand what we say.B dogs may speak to humans oneday. C humans are related to chimpanzees. D mental ability can evolve in animals.18. Sports are the base of my life, next to my mother who raised me when my dad left us.I have been into sports since I was six years old.I have known many coaches and heard hundreds of their tips, but they usually focused on drills to develop my skills and reach the next level of play.When I was in Senior Two, I met the new school basketball coach, Brian Pawloski.I thought I was certain to be selected for the school team since I had been in it the year before.I showed up to the tryouts (选拔赛) and put out about 90% effort since I thought I'd make it with no problem.That was a big mistake.Brian Pawloski is the hardest﹣working coach I have ever met.He didn't expect 100% effort, he expected 200% effort.One example: he once made us do 40suicide drills for the 401ay﹣ups (投篮) we missed in a game.Some think this is crazy, but it isn't.After this conditioning practice, as we were getting a cup of cold water to drink, I said, "Coach that was the best practice I ever had."I was completely sincere.This man was and is the personwho influenced me most at my high school.He expects us to be excellent not just on the court but in the classroom.If I am not working on basketball, I am reading a book that he thinks will help us better understand life's challenges, including Wooden, Coach, and The Screwtape Letters.In the first two years I ________, not putting forth my full potential.Now, unlike the coaches of my youth, this man was interested in how he did off the court.He always made sure Ikept up with my studies and was able to be trusted.I can honestly say that no other coach has given me so much advice on how to succeed in basketball, but more importantly, in life.My school is lucky to have such a great person to teach, coach and influence their students.I will always remember my high﹣school basketball days as one of the hardest times I have ever worked in my life not only in basketball but in my growth as an individual.(1).Different from other coaches,Coach Brian________.A trained the team to the edge of deathB expected the team to do well in theirstudies C asked the team to do more reading than training D concentrated on skill training.(2).The underlined phrase"slacked off"in the last paragraph probably means________.A made less effortB paid no attentionC showed no interestD had less passion.(3).In the author's eye,Coach Brian is________.A professional and seriousB skilled and cruelC hardworking andhonest D strict and helpful.19. As we grow old, we realize that we have so little time to read and there are so many great books that we've yet to get around to. Yet re﹣readers are everywhere around us. For certain fans, re﹣reading The Lord of the Rings is a conventional practice annually.

You may not think that having a good family is a problem. But for me, it was. I had to face the problem of being the youngest of the Smith girls.We live in a small town in Pennsylvania, US. There are three girls in the Smith family, Amanda, Theresa and me. People often say things to me, like" Oh, the three of you, you' re such nice girls. Your sisters are so pretty and so thin! You' re really nothing like them. "That made me sad.At school, all of my teachers had taught my sisters. On the first day of school, they said" Oh, the youngest of the three !

People there have heart trouble and other kinds of health problems during this month. In the Northeast and the Middle West, it is very hot at some times and very cold at other times. People in these states have more heart trouble after the weather changes in February or March.The weather can also influence intelligence. For example, in a 1983 report by scientists, IQ ( 智商) of a group students were very high when a very strong wind came, but after the strong wind, their IQ was 10% below. The wind can help people more intelligent. Very hot weather, on the other hand, can make it lower. Students in many schools of the United States often get worse on exams in the hot months of the year (July and August).Weather also has a strong influence on people's feelings. Winter may be a bad time for thin people. They usually feel cold during these months. They might feel unhappy during cold weather. But fat people may have a hard time in hot summer. At about 18℃, people become stronger.Low air pressure (气压)may make people forgetful. People leave more bags on buses and in shops on low-pressure days.

Good friendship has many benefits. It offers companionship, improves self-worth and promotes good health. There are times in our lives such as when we have recently moved into a new town, or changed our jobs or schools. Such changes often leaves us without a friend. Making new friends comes easy for some people. But for many of us the process is difficult and requires courage. Below are some helpful suggestions on how to make and keep friends.Associate with othersThe first step to making friends is associating with other people. You can go to public places to meet new people. Besides, you will need to make yourself known by becoming an active member of such places.Start a conversationStarting a conversation is the second most important step in making new friends. Do not wait to be spoken to. You can always start the conversation. Being able to make small talk is a very useful skill in relating with other people.Do things togetherChoosing friends with common interests is important in building friendship as these interests would always bring you and your friend together. Hanging out will always be a pleasant experience.Let it growIt is a good thing to stay in touch. However, try not to press your new friend with calls, messages or visits as this would likely wear him or her out and finally you may lose your friend. So you will need to give your friend time to react to you. The best friendships are the ones that grow naturally.Enjoy your friendshipThe best way to enjoy your friendship is to allow your friends to be themselves. Try not to find fault with your friends. Try not to change them from who they are to what you want them to be. Become the kind of friend you will want your friend to be to you.1. Is friendship very important for everyone?2. How do you associate with others?3. Why is choosing friends with common interests important?4. What will you do to enjoy your friendship according to the passage?5.
