中考英语英语阅读理解试题(含答案)一、英语阅读理解专项练习试卷1.阅读理解Many cars in advertisements are red, blue or green but almost 75 percent of new cars sold are black, white, silver or grey.A survey shows people prefer the car colors that don't show dirt such as grey. That means the owners can wash their cars less, saving money. Besides, some areas that are short of water do not allow people to wash their cars often.According to another survey, white cars are often sold more than cars of other colors. In China, car buyers say white makes a small car look bigger. Car buyers in other countries also like white. And the research also suggests that there is a lower risk of accidents during the day for white cars compared with darker ones. People also think the temperature inside white cars is lower than that in cars of other colors.At present, every year about 11 percent of cars sold are red and 8 percent are blue. Green has become less popular. In the mid 1990s, green was the most popular color in many places of the world. But today, green cars are hard to find.Sometime in the future, people may not have to choose the color of their car technology may let owners change their car's paint color anytime.(1)You can often see cars in advertisements.A. whiteB. blackC. redD. silver(2)Car buyers choose grey because they .A. can wash their cars lessB. don't need to wash carsC. can pay less money for carsD. don't allow washing cars(3)According to the passage, white cars look than those of other colors.A. saferB. darkerC. cheaperD. bigger(4)Green cars .A. make up 11% of the cars soldB. are hard to find all the timeC. were the most popular in the mid 1990sD. were less popular than blue cars in the past (5)In the future, we can .A. choose cars in all colorsB. paint our cars any color anywhereC. buy cars in all colorsD. change our car's paint color anytime【答案】(1)C(2)A(3)A(4)C(5)D【解析】【分析】大意:本文讲述车的颜色,以及使用某些颜色的原因。

you learned in your first Chinese class in primary school was probably pinyin.The year2018marks pinyin's sixtieth birthday.In1958,Chinese linguist(语言学家)Zhou Youguang and his team designed pinyin.Before that,Chinese people used many other methods to denote(标注)the pronunciation of Chinese characters.In ancient China, people denoted Chinese characters using other Chinese characters that had the same pronunciation.Some of the symbols are Chinese character strokes(笔画).For example,a vertical stroke(一竖)pronounced as“i”in pinyin.Some people in Taiwan still use this method.However,these methods are not as simple as pinyin.Because of pinyin,many illiterate(不识字的)people have learned how to read.We use pinyin to type Chinese characters into computers and phones.Pinyin has been useful in other ways,too.It helps to promote the use of Standard Chinese,or Mandarin, so people who speak different dialects(方言)can still understand each other.Pinyin is not only popular in China.Many people around the world start to learn Chinese by learning pinyin.You might say“nihao”instead of “hello”to a foreign friend.The Oxford English Dictionary(《牛津英语词典》)includes more than100Chinese words in pinyin,such as zhongguomeng for“Chinese dream”,and wanggou for“online shopping”.Pinyin is not only a language tool,but also a cultural bridge that connects China to the world,Guangming Daily noted.Pinyin is still young.But it has been and will still be a useful tool in the future.()6.The underlined word“promote”in the second paragraph may mean“________”in the passage.A.解释B.改善C.表达D.介绍()7.Paragraph2mainly tells us about________.A.the history of pinyin B.the designers of pinyinC.the problems of pinyin D.the future of pinyin()8.The writer talks about the Oxford English Dictionary to tell us ________.A.pinyin is popular only in ChinaB.pinyin is popular all over the worldC.pinyin will not be used in the futureD.English will be replaced(代替)by pinyin()9.We can learn from the passage________.A.pinyin has been used since ancient ChinaB.people in Taiwan prefer to use pinyinC.pinyin is useful in many waysD.we will not use pinyin in the future()10.We can infer from the passage that the writer feels________ about the future of pinyin.A.doubtful B.unsureC.hopeful D.sad2020年广东中考英语阅读理解限时训练(三)AHello,lovely boys and girls.I would like to introduce our English language holidays for you.As English is one of the most widely spoken languages in the world,millions of people look forward to studying English abroad(在国外)during holidays.English language holidays are taken in English­speaking countries like England,the USA,Australia and so on.There,you study in a language school with students from many different countries.You live with local(本地的)people,and often stay with a host family.The English language holiday has become a very popular way of learning English because it has many advantages.●Constant Experience(持续的体验)Because you are in an English­speaking country,from the time you wake up and have breakfast with your host family until late evening,you have no opportunity to escape the English language.●Mixed(混合的)ClassesOn a language holiday,students come from all over the world.It is possible that nobody in your class will speak your language,so you will just have to speak English.●Free From PressureOn a language holiday,you may forget the everyday pressure of school.You feel more relaxed and you can learn easily.●Cultural UnderstandingLearning a language is not only about learning words.Different countries have different cultures.People think and behave(表现)differently.By visiting and living in a foreign country,you learn to understand the culture and the people,and so understand the language better.If you want to know more about it,don't forget to attend our introduction meeting on time.It will be held at eight tomorrow morning in our school hall.You won't realize its advantages until you experience it by yourself.()1.The followings are all English­speaking countries EXCEPT ______according to the passage.A.EnglandB.the USAC.RussiaD.Australia()2.While you are

language holidays are popular.C.The advantages of English language holidays.D.The disadvantages of English language holidays.BDo you know what smart phones can do for us?We can make phone calls,take photos,call a Didi Taxi,send short messages or e­mails,check e­mails,surf the Internet and watch videos almost anywhere.Especially,smartphone shopping has become more and more popular in our life because people can buy almost everything they need there.You are wondering how to shop on smartphones?Let me show you.If you live in the central part of the city,and you need to buy some fresh grapes from the east of the city,you can use your smartphone.To start with,all you need to do is download a shopping app(应用程序)and find a suitable store you like.Shopping on the smartphone has a lot of advantages,of which the most important is perhaps its convenience.People don't have to waste a lot of energy and time to go from one shop to another to choose things they like.This is especially good for the old,the sick and the busy people who cannot go to the shops by themselves.However,shopping on the smartphone also has its disadvantages. The first disadvantage is that people can't see the goods or try them on by themselves.Sometimes,the real goods may not be the same as what they have seen on the smartphone.The second disadvantage is that some shops on the Internet are not registered(登记的).They will never deliver(递送)anything to you after they get the money from you.Once you are cheated,you will find that you have nowhere to go to complain(投诉).()6.Smartphone shopping has become more and more popular in our life because______.A.we can take photos and send short messagesB.we can buy almost everything we needC.we can check e­mails and surf the InternetD.we can make phone calls and call a Didi Taxi()7.If you want to shop on smartphones,you should______at first.A.go to the storeB.find a suitable storeC.send e­mails to the shopD.download a shopping app()8.What does the underlined word“convenience”mean in Chinese?A.麻烦B.方便C.舒适D.交流()9.The number of disadvantages of shopping on smartphones is ______.A.oneB.twoC.threeD.four()10.What's the best title of this passage?A.Smartphone shopping.B.The usages of smartphone shopping.C.The advantages of smartphone shopping.D.The disadvantages of smartphone shopping.AHow winter weather influences the subway serviceWhen temperatures drop,and ice and snow fall on the tracks,know more service changes by:☆listening to your local traffic broadcasts☆visiting our website ☆signing up for email or text message warnings on our website☆following us on Twitter(NYCTSubwayScoop)☆calling our travel information line at 718-330-1234Our goal is to keep as many trains in service as possible and to keep you informed.Depending on how bad the weather is,here’s what you can expect:Service on these lines may run local on different parts of their routes:A,E,D,F,N,Q,2,3,4,5Service will change on these lines:G —Service between Court Square and 71st Street will stop for some time.7—Reduced service 11p.m.—1a.m.After 1a.m.normal late night service startsagain.S —*42nd Street train runs all night*Dyre Road trains go farther to 149th Street*Rockaway Park train goes farther to Euclid RoadExpect service on these weekday lines to end earlier than normal:B(take D or Q instead),V(take F instead),W(take N instead)Please allow for more travel time and listen for broadcasts.Thank you.2020年广东中考英语阅读理解限时训练(四)()11.People can know about subway service changes in winter through_____ ways.A.threeB.fouC.fiveD.six()12.The subway website will_____.A.send emails to some passengersB.keep all the underground trains in serviceC.follow the passengers around in the stationD.call the travel information line to know about the changes()13.What service changes there will be depends on_____.A.the weatherB.the seasonC.passengersD.the temperature()14.The service of_____lines will change if necessary.A.tenB.fourteenC.sixteenD.eighteen()15.When Line V ends earlier,passengers can take_____.A.Line7B.Line QC.Line5D.Line FBWould you like to live in a city where buildings turn the lights off for you,and self-driving cars will find the nearest parking space themselves?Although it might sound a little far from you,living in a“smart”city like this could happen sooner than you think.Great changes have taken place in towns that we have lived in for centuries, while completely new cities are being built.One such place is the city of Songdo. Every home there will have a“tele-presence system(远程遥控系统)”allowing users to control the heating and locks,take part in video meetings,and receiveeducation,health care and government services.Around the city,escalators(自动扶梯)will only move when someone is on them,and offices and schools will all be connected to the system.The great mind behind Songdo is from the company Cisco.In fact,technology companies around the world such as IBM,Siemens and Microsoft are already in the business.“About75%of the world’s population will live in cities by2050,so cities will need to be more modern to deal with the coming problems.Making cities smarter is one way out,and I think this will in turn make cities greener,”said Dan Hill, head of a research company.()16.According to the text,living in a“smart”city_____.A.is not a green wayB.will be far from youC.will soon become trueD.is completely impossible()17.The underlined phrase“in turn”means_____in Chinese.A.反过来B.轮流C.依次地D.翻转()18._____offers the great mind to build Songdo.A.CiscoB.IBMC.SiemensD.Microsoft()19.Dan Hill thinks that making cities smarter is one way to_____.A.drive people out of citiesB.control the world’s populationC.develop his own companyD.solve the cities’coming problems()20.Which of the following might be the best title for the text?A.Future EducationB.Smart Citiesernment ServicesD.Famous Companies【参考答案】训练一1-5 D A D B B 6-10 B C B A D 训练二1~5 D D A B B 6~10 D A B C C 训练三1~5C A B D C6~10B D B B A 训练四1-5 C A A C D 6-10 C A A D B。

(英语)中考英语阅读理解试题(有答案和解析)一、阅读理解1.阅读理解Some people think only school children do not agree with their parents, however, it is not true.Communication is a problem for parents and children of all ages. If it's hard for you to communicate with your parents, don't worry about it. Here are some advice for you to bridge the generation gap (代沟).Don't argue (争辩) with your parents. Don't get to your parents when you are angry. Your parents probably won't consider your ideas if you are shouting at them. And you can't express yourself well if you are angry. Go someplace to cool off. Make sure you understand why you are unhappy. Then think about what you want to say to your parents. If you don't think you can speak to them at the moment, try writing a letter.Try to reach a compromise (和解). Perhaps you and your parents disagree on something. You can keep your disagreement and try your best to accept each other. Michael's mother didn't agree with him about buying a motorcycle. They argued over it. But they finally came to a compromise. Michael bought the motorcycle, but only drove it on certain days.Of course, your parents might refuse to compromise on something. In these situations, it is especially important to show love and respect (尊敬) to them. Showing respect will keep your relationship strong.Talk about your values. The values of your parents are probably different from those of your own. Tell your parents what you care about, and why. Understanding your values might help them see your purposes in life.A good relationship with your parents can make you a better and happier person. It is worth having a try!(1)According to the passage who have a communication problem?A. parents and other peopleB. only school kids and their parentsC. teachers and their studentsD. parents and children of all ages(2)How many pieces of advice does the writer give us to bridge the generation gap?A. 5.B. 4.C. 3.D. 2.(3)The underlined word "bridge" in the passage means "___________".A. 建立B. 消除C. 通过D. 到达(4)If the values of your parents are different from those of yours, you'd better ___________.A. argue with themB. keep away from themC. agree with them all the timeD. tell your parents what you care about(5)The best title for the passage is ___________.A. How to bridge the generation gapB. How to deal with family problemsC. How to be good parentsD. How to be a good child【答案】(1)D(2)C(3)B(4)D(5)A【解析】【分析】文章大意:短文讲了家长和孩子之间有代沟,主要原因就是缺少沟通,当我们彼此了解了对方的观点和想法以后,就能很容易的理解对方,从而消除代沟。

2020年广东中考英语阅读理解B篇专练试卷(有答案解析)

JS2020 年中考英语阅读理解 B 篇专练从每题所给的四个选项中, 选出能回答所发问题或达成所给句子的最正确答案。

(一)English has become a language that is most widely used in the world. So which country, not including English-speaking countries, speaks English best? And where does China rank ( 排名 )?Swedish language education company EF published their 2017 English Proficiency Index ( 娴熟度指标). The Netherlands ranked first, followed by Sweden and Denmark. The rankings are based on English reading and listening test results.According to the index, the English proficiency in China is still low, ranking 36th. Out of the whole country, people in Shanghai are the best English speakers. They speak better English than Italians and French. Hong Kong and Beijing follow Shanghai as China ’s next best English-speaking cities.“ Shanghai and Beijing rank high because they are international cities, ” EF senior manager Christopher McCormick said. “However, across China, proficiency in English is different from east to west. ”China has 400 million English learners, reported China Daily. However, the teaching ofEnglish in some areas is not very good. According to People’s Daily Online, there are seven primary schools in She Tianqiao town in Hunan, but only one English teacher. Many students still learn English by rote memorization .Sebastian Magnusson, an officer at the Swedish embassy ( 大使馆 )in Beijing, gave some advice. Swedish people speak English well and Magnusson himself is also fluent in Chinese. He said TV programs, movies and even computer games could be learning tools. “ Do not limit it to textbooks. What matters most is to use what you ’ve learned, ” Magnusson said.()1._____ ranked first in the 2017 English Proficiency Index.A. SwedenB. The NetherlandsC. DenmarkD. The United Kingdom()2.

It is said that our body movements communicate about 50 percent of what we really mean while words only express 7 percent. So, while your mouth is closed, your body is just saying⋯Arms. How you hold your arms shows how open you are to the people you meet. If you keep your arms to the sides of your body or behind your back, this suggests you are not afraid of taking on whatever comes your way. Outgoing people generally use their arms with big movements, while quieter people keep them close to their bodies. If someone upsets you, just cross your arms to show you’ re unhappy!Head. When you want to appear confident, keep your head level. If you are a monitor in class, you can also take on this position when you want your words to be taken seriously. However, to be friendly in listening or speaking, you must move your head a little.Legs. Your legs tend to move around a lot more than normal when you are nervous ortelling lies. If you are at interviews, try to keep them still!Posture (姿势 ). A good posture makes you feel better about yourself. If you are feeling down, you normally don ’ t sit straight. This makes breathing more difficult, which can make you feel nervous or uncomfortable.Mouth. When you are thinking, position to hold back an angry comment( still be noticed, and people will know you you often shut your mouth. You might also use this 议论 )you don ’t wish to show. However, it will probably ’re not pleased.( )1. When someone is keeping his arms behind his back, he tries to tell you that _____.A. he is outgoingB. he is angryC. he is not afraidD. he is cool( )2. The underlined word “ upsets ” probably means _____ in Chinese.A. 喜爱B. 崇敬C. 厌烦D. 惹怒( )3. If you want to appear confident, you should_____.A. move your arms a lotB. keep your head levelC. move your head a littleD. cross your arms behind( )4. _____ tells someone is nervous.A.

Body Language and WordsB. Arms Tell More Than LegsC. Facial Expressions Tell the TruthD. Simple Movements Show Your ThoughtsJS(三)Many Chinese people will wonder what presents to get for their moms on Mother’ s Day, but not many know Mother’ s Day is actually a festival from overseas.Mother ’s Day originated( 发源 )in America during the early 20th century. The festivalspread to China as early as the 1980s and was widely accepted.Why did a foreign festival become popular in China? In fact, Chinese traditional culture has always encouraged filial devotion to parents. There are many stories which show filial respect in ancient China.For example, the story of “ Taste Liquid(液体的 )Medicine for Mother ” tells us the filial virtue( 美德 )of Emperor Wen of the Western Han Dynasty. His mother had been sick for three years. He often stayed up by her bedside and cared for her day and night. He tasted the liquid medicine first before she drank it. Also, mother ’ s love is a repeated subject in Chinese ancient poems, like Song of the Parting Son by Meng Jiao, a poet of the Tang Dynasty. Now this poem is still a must in the school textbooks. Children in China are brought up with the education of filial devotion.On special days, people often use roses or forget -me-nots to express love. Carnations are considered as the perfect flowers for mothers around the world, but few know that China has itsown for mothers — the tiger lily.Love for mothers can have different ways of expression. What matters most is love, not the festival itself. What mothers truly want is perhaps just a simple expression of love from their children.You may find it difficult to make the plan now. Don ’t worry. All you need is just a rough( 大略的)one. Once you enter the senior high school, you ’ ll get a chance to make it better with the help of your teachers. And your personal growth plan may change with your age, your interests and the social development. So take your time and I believe you will grow into an excellent young man.Best wishes!精选文档欢迎下载 4Yours,Li Fang ( )1.

However, strictly speaking, Boxing Day is the first weekday after Christmas. Like Christmas Day, Boxing Day is a public holiday. That means it -working day in ’thes wholeanon of Britain. When Boxing Day falls on a Saturday or Sunday, the following Monday is the public holiday.The exact origin (发源 )of the holiday is unclear. One of the thoughts is that during the Middle Ages, when great sailing ships were setting off to discover new land, a Christmas box was placed by a priest ( 神父 )on each ship. Those sailors who wanted to ensure a safe return would drop money into the box. It was sealed and kept on board until the ship came home safely. Then the box was handed over to the priest in exchange for the saying of thanks for the success of thesailing. The priest wouldn ’t open it to share the contents with the poor until Christmas.One more thought is about the “ Alms Box” placed in every church on Christmas Day. Worshippers ( 做星期的人 )put gifts for the poor into it. These boxes were always opened the day after Christmas. That is why that day became known as Boxing Day.Today, many companies, organizations and families try to keep the traditional spirit of Boxing Day alive by donating ( 捐献 )their time, services and money to food banks, providing gifts for the poor, or helping families in need. Besides, spending time with family and shopping are popular Boxing Day activities now.()1 .If Christmas Day is on a Saturday, Boxing Day will be celebrated on_____.A. December 25thB. December 26thC. December 27thD. December 28th()2.Sailors dropped money into the Christmas box in order to_____.A. save the poorB. pray for the priestC. discover new landD. pray for sailing safely()3. The underlined word“ sealed” probably means _____ in Chinese in the passage.A. 密封B. 悬挂C. 送还D. 传达()4.The following activities can show the traditional spirit of Boxing Day EXCEPT_____.A. to offer gifts to the poorB. to support families in needC. to spend time with familyD. to give money to food banks()5. The purpose of the passage is_____.A. to praise the kindness of priestsB. to introduce the origin of Boxing DayC. to call on people to help the poorD. to compare Boxing Day with Christmas DayJS(五)The first true railway is thought to have been made at Broseley in Shropshire, England before 1605. The railway would carry coal(煤炭 )for James Clifford from his mines, and would push others like Huntington Beaumont to create his own railway, which was able to pull 280 — 330 pounds of coal with a single horse. These rails continued through the 18th century, and would become more common as the years went on.Steam power created the first train, and thus the modern railroad was born in 1784. James Watt, who was a Scottish inventor, made improvements to Thomas Newcomen ’ s steam engine, which was used to move water out of mine. With these improvements, he could createsmaller and smaller engines, finally patenting(申请专利)the design for the steam locomotive(机车)in 1784. The first working railway steam locomotive was made in the United Kingdom by Richard Trevithick in 1804. The world ’s first railway journey took place on February 21st, 1804.In 1812 Matthew Murray created the first rack(齿轨) railway which was able to hold a train, and was followed in 1813 by Puffing Billy, made by Christopher Blackett and William Hedley and these were the first financially( 经济上 )successful trains. This led to easier transportation of goods and became one of the most important things of the Industrial Revolution(工业革命).()1. _____ on the first true railway.A. Steam engines and trains ranB.

Huntington Beaumont rode a horse()2.James Watt was _____.A. the inventor of steam enginesB. the improver of steam enginesC. the designer of modern railroadsD. the creator of the first train()3.

Steam Engines and RailroadsC. The Birth of Modern RailroadsD. The Development of Railway(六)When you are curious( 好奇 )about something and want to know more about it, you can usethe way of asking questions. Asking questions is the first step to make discoveries and findinteresting answers. The following steps can guide you during the research.Step 1: Write down the subject that you are interested in on a piece of paper. Just get themain idea down. For example, you might write:Discover more about robots.Step 2: Stop and think for a moment about what you have already known about your subject. List what you have already known like the sentences below : The first robot appeared in the USA in 1959. A robot can do housework and act as a teacher. Sometimes a robot catches viruses and causes a lot of problems.Step 3: Ask and write down questions about the robots on the paper. What might robotsbe like in the future? What other things can robots do for people? What kind of power will robots possibly use in five years?Step 4: With your list of questions, you can now go to the nearest library or computer to begin your research. As you learn more about your subject, you will probably discover some new questions. For example, you might discover that robots can help scientists explore dangerous places, like the sea and outer space. How? What happened? Asking new questions can help you research your subject more widely.Remember that learning more always brings more questions.()1 . What does the writer advise us to do when we’ re curious about something?A. To read more books about it.B. To look it up in the dictionary.C. To turn to the teacher for help.D. To ask questions and find the answers.( )2 . In this passage, the writer tells us how to do research by giving us an example about_____.A. robotsB. librariesC. questionsD. scientists( )3.

Doing Research On ScienceB. Finding More ProblemsC. Asking Good Questions While Doing ResearchD. Having Interesting Answers While Doing Research(七)Birth order—does it matter? Are you different because you are the first, second, or third child in your family—or maybe the last of nine?A study showed that first -borns have an average( 均匀的 )IQ that is three points higher than people who fall into a different place in the birth order, perhaps because first-borns often help younger brothers and sisters, which improves their own skills. In 2007, an international organization of CEOs found that 43% of them are first-borns, 33% are middle children, and 23% are last-borns. First-borns are more likely( 可能的 )to be doctors and engineers and get higher pay.If first -borns are more successful, last -borns are generally more friendly. They are also more likely to be funny, possibly to get attention from all the bigger people at the dinner table. Mark Twain and Stephen Colbert were both the youngest in large families, and Jim Carrey was the youngest of four. According to a 2007 Time magazine article,“ The Power of Birth Order” , last-borns are more likely to be artists and successful businessmen.Then there are the middle children. Many middle children experience less one-on-one( 一对一 )time with their parents. They often feel short-changed:The oldest gets more rights, and the youngest is “ spoiled( 宠坏的 )”. Though they may be ignored( 忽略 ), middle children are more likely to grow into outgoing adults.Many factors( 要素 )make us who we are, but if the research is correct, birth order may( )1. _____ is most likely to be a CEO.A. A first-bornB. A second-bornC. A third-bornD. A last-born( )2. What can we learn about Jim Carrey?A. He was likely to be given low pay.B. He was likely to be friendly.C. He was a first-born.D. He was a middle child.( )3. The underlined word “ short-changed ”in Paragraph 4 probably means _____ in Chinese.A. 受亏待的B. 受控制的C. 受喜爱的D. 受欢迎的( )4. We can learn from the research that the birth order _____.A. has no influence on IQB. matters a lot at the dinner tableC. may decide who we areD. is a factor in making us powerful( )5. What would be the best title for the text?A. Where Is Your Place in the Family?B. Who Improves Your Social Skills?C. What Makes You Successful in Life?D. How Can You Grow into a Big Man?(八)As a well -known Chinese TV hostess, Dong Qing is now hosting two cultural shows, ChinesePoetry Congress and The Readers.

At the party, someone hoped to give America a special gift for the country ’ s hundredth birthday in 1876. Bartholdi was interested in the idea and suggested a big statue of some kind. Back home, he thought about it for the next six years.By 1871, Bartholdi had planned most of the details of the statue. It was going to be a ladycalled Liberty, who held a torch( 火把 )high over her head in her right hand and a book close toher body in her left hand. It seemed that she was lighting the way to freedom.But it was such a huge project that a large amount of money was needed. And also, for many reasons, Bartboldi and his team couldn ’ t finish it on time. The big statue wasn ’ t finished until June 1884. On July 22, 1885, it arrived in New York from France by water.

This was nearly a century before Christopher Columbus first set sail on his journey of discovery to America. His travels are so important that they are still studied today.Zheng He was born in Yunnan in 1371. He rose to become a trusted official of the Yongle Emperor of the Ming Dynasty.The emperor ordered Zheng He to visit and explore the land outside China. His task was to build relations and set up trade routes (路线 )with foreign countries. In a few years, he built several treasure fleets. They were big enough to carry 25, 000 people as well as a very largenumber of goods. And they were one of the largest fleets to explore different regions ( 地域 )of the world.From 1405 to 1433, Zheng He went on seven trips and visited Southeast Asia, the MiddleEast and even the east coast of Africa. It seemed that nowhere was too far for him to visit. These trips allowed China to trade valuable goods like gold, silver and silk.

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

Think about allthe water faucets (水龙头) in the toilet. Think about all the air conditioning in summer. Saving energy is a hot topic for such a bigplace!Many things at the mall use energy. Electric lights, infrared (红外感应) faucets and air-conditioners need electricity to work.One way to save energy is by keeping lights clean. More and more dust and dirt make the lights less bright. When malls keep lights clean, they can use fewer lights and keep the area just as bright. Using fewer lights means using less energy.You step up to the water faucet. The water starts to flow.

Spending less moneyC.Energy saving at the mall D. A hot topic3I’ve loved my mother’s desk since I was just tall enough to see above the top of it as mother sat doing letters. Standing by her chair, looking at the ink bottle, pens, and white paper, I decided that the act of writing must be the more wonderful thing in the world.Years later, during her final illness, mother kept different things for my sister and brother. “But the desk,” she’d said again, “it’s for Elizabeth. ”I never saw her angry, never saw her cry. I knew she loved me; she showed it in action. But as a young girl, I wanted heart-to-heart talks between mother and daughter.They never happene d. And a gulf opened between us. I was “too emotional(易动感情的)”. But she lived “on the surface(表面)”.As years passed I had my own family. I loved my mother and thanked her for our happy family. I wrote to her in careful words and asked her to let me know in any way she chose that she did forgive(原谅) me.I posted the letter and waited for her answer. None came.My hope turned to disappointment(失望), then little interest and, finally, peace—it seemed that nothing happened. I couldn’t be sure that the letter had even got to mother. I only knew that I had written it, and I could stop trying to make her into someone she was not.Now the present of her desk told, as she’d never been able to,that she was pleased that writing was my chosen work. I cleaned the desk carefully and found some papers inside —a photo of my father and a one-page letter, folded(折叠) and refolded many times.Give me an answer, my letter asks, in any way you choose. Mother, you always chose the act that speaks louder than words.1. Th e writer began to love her mother’s desk ______.A. after Mother diedB. before she became a writerC. when she was a childD. when Mother gave it to her2. The passage shows that ______.A. mother was cold on the surface but kind in her heart to her daughterB. mother was too serious about everything her daughter had doneC. mother cared much about her daughter in wordsD. mother wrote to her daughter in careful words3. The word “gulf” in the passage means ______.A. deep understanding between the old and the youngB. different ideas between the mother and the daughterC. free talks between mother and daughterD. part of the sea going far in land4. What did mother do with her daughter’s letter asking forgiveness?A. She had never received the letter.B. For years, she often talked about the letter.C. She didn’t forgive her daughter at all in all her life.D. She read the letter again and again till she died.5. What’s the best title of the passage?A. My letter to MotherB. Mother and ChildrenC. My mother’s DeskD. Talks between Mother and Me4Here are some tips (建议) on how to stay safe in earthquakes (地震).1.Stay inside and duck and cover. Get under a desk or table, or stand in a corner or under a doorway. Cover your head and neck with your arms.2.Move against a wall if in a high building with no protective desk or table nearby. Cover your head and neck with your arms.3.Try to get into an open area away from trees, buildings, walls, and power lines (电杆) if outdoors。

Recreation(娱乐)2People say that “travel is the best teacher”and there is no better example of this idea than the Ming Dynasty travel writer and geographer Xu Xiake (1587—1641). His book The Travel Notes of Xu Xiake, not only encouraged a love of travelling among Chinese people but provided important scientific information about the country s land and geography.Born into a wealthy Jiangyin family, Xu became interested in books about different places at an early age. When he was 18, however,Xu's father died. He now was responsible for the family farm and taking care of his 60-year-old mother as tradition required. But his mother refused to keep him at home. She agreed that Xu could travel for three months every year, when there was less farm work. So at the age of twenty and with his mother's support, Xu set off for the first time. Then he travelled for the next 30 years.During his travel, he carefully studied the lands he passed through and recorded his experiences in a diary. This diary, which once had over 500,000 words, would eventually become The Travel Notes of Xu Xiake. Although rich, Xu avoided comfortable travel, preferring to go almost everywhere on foot. This way he could research the environment in detail and get a true picture of the natural world.Sadly Xu became seriously ill during his last and longest journey.

Where does rice come from? Yuan Longping and his team work to grow rice on the farmland.Food was a big problem in China in the past. This is because China had 22% of the world's population, but only 7% of its farmland. In the 1960s, China suffered (遭受) a serious famine. Millions of people died because they had no food. As an agronomy (农学)teacher, Yuan was very sad to see this. “How can I help them have enough food?” he thought. He decided to work on a kind of hybrid rice (杂交水稻). It has high output.At that time, other scientists didn t think hybrid rice had much value. But Yuan and his team worked on it every day. They took very good care of their rice seeds.At last, in 1973, they grew a new type of hybrid rice. This rice is strong. Farmers can grow it in many different kinds of farmland and also in bad weather. It can fight disease, too. Its output is much greater than common kinds of rice. With the new type, about 70,000,000 people could have food every year!Y uan solved the food problem in China. But he is still working on rice. Before he retires, he hopes to grow rice in the sea!()1.

Many pieces of pottery in different sizes were shown at the school. Some were a bit broken, but all of them were beautiful works of art created by the students.At the end of last year, the school started a project that called on teachers to collect disused pieces of pottery which people don't want them anymore or broken pieces of pottery from the countryside. So far, they have collected about 3,000 pieces.“Pottery used to play an important role in the daily lives of Chinese people.” school head Ma Guoxin told the reporter. “By pottery painting, the students can improve themselves in many ways. They can better understand the history of the pottery, put their creativity into the pottery and show the love for life and beauty.”Students turned the pottery into different works of art. They were all encouraged to paint pictures on the pottery, even though some students didn't know how to paint. Wang Zixuan, a student from Grade Eight, with little knowledge of painting, painted a beautiful night scenery on a piece of pottery. It was so nice that many students loved it.Almost every classroom has colored pieces of pottery. They are either used as flowerpots or pen containers (笔筒). The school has also set up several art corners to show the pottery. For example, the students have put some pottery on bookcases outside of a lecture hall(报告厅). It has become an enjoyable place for students to rest and read.()1. The school started the project of the pottery ________.A. at the beginning of 2018B. at the end of 2018C. at the beginning of 2019D. at the end of 2019()2.

We can't find any colored pottery in their classrooms.D. The students enjoy resting and reading at the art corners.()5. In which part of a newspaper can we read the passage?A. Sports news.B. Traditional art.C. Healthy living.D. Popular music.6Some researchers explain how most people form their social groups with people of their age. Especially, as children and teenagers, even adults, people make their friends basedon distance more than anything else. Even in a classroom, the students may not make friends with those who have similar personalities(性格) and interests. It's the people they really sit next to. Clearly, who stands nearest to you has the greatest influence on you.Over the past ten months, I've paid Ryan, a famous writer of several bestselling books, to help me with the book I'm writing. Working with him has shown me just how low my standards for my work are. For example, every time I send him a draft(草稿), he shows me how it could be much better, and he holds me to that standard.It's not that my working ability was born low. It's because that I don't know what I don't know. Working with Ryan has made me realize what is possible and what it takes to create something powerful.Like Ryan, my business partner Richard has wonderful ideas and far different experience than I have. He has written 36 New York Times Bestsellers. Richard always performs at high levels, and he is also very strict with me because my performance is a reflection(反映) on him. It's not a bad thing because it creates high pressure to help me make great progress and push me to learn more.In a word, you need to stay with those people who can help you realize your level and potential(潜力). Staying with people who have higher standards is the fastest way for you to change. If you don't change your environment, your progress will be very slow. Who you stay with has huge importance.()1. The students are more likely to make friends with ________.A. the people who have similar personalitiesB. the people who have the same interestsC. the people who sit next to themD. the people who have the same hobbies()2.

It was free for Ryan to help the writer with the book.B. The writer's working ability was born low.C. Richard has wonderful ideas and the same experience with the writer.D. Staying with those who have higher standards can help us make great progress.()4. The writer mainly wants to tell us that ________.A. we can improve our working abilities by ourselvesB. we must pay attention to our talent and potentialC. we'd better make friends with those who can hold us to higher levelsD. we should stay with those who have similar personalities and interests()5. Where does the passage probably come from?A. A magazine.B. A travel guide.C. A storybook.D. A cooking instruction.7For his eleventh birthday, Lin was given a gift that would change his life. On that day his father took him to the Children's Activity Centre and said he could choose any course that interested him. There was just one requirement (要求): Lin have to promise to study it for at least one year.Lin used to have many hobbies, but he never kept his interest for more than a week or two.Lin looked at all the courses on offer. He stopped at “Photography”. He liked the idea of taking beautiful pictures but the notice said that each student needed their own camera. But a camera cost a lot of money. He continued looking.Then the next course caught his eyes. “Cooking” sounded like something he'd like to do. It was inexpensive and convenient, it could be done alone and it was also creative.His dad had doubts, but he agreed. To his parents' surprise, Lin kept his promise. He studied cooking at the Centre every Saturday, and practised at home, making delicious meals for his family. Everyone looked forward to birthdays, when they could eat his cakes. Lin got greatsatisfaction from the pleasure his food brought to others.The months turned to years but his hobby never changed again.Now Lin is an adult and runs a successful restaurant.()1.

The Fun of CookingD. The Birthday Gift8David walked down the street. All he wanted to do was to play basketball with Jim. But his mother told him to return his sister's books to the library on his way to Jim's house.In his eyes, books and summertime just don't go together. He thought he had read a lot during the school year. And he had never set foot inside a public library. Today he'd just drop the books off in the outside return box, but it was locked. He had to go inside to return them.David walked inside the building a few minutes before closing time. He put the books into the return box. After a quick drink of water and a short stop in the toilet, he'd be on his way to meet Jim. He walked out of the toilet. The library lights were turned off. He was locked—in a library!David tried to use the telephone, but he couldn't find one. As the sun began to set, he searched for a light and found a little one on a desk. He used a pencil to write a note on a big piece of paper. It read, “I'm locked inside. Please call for help.” He put it on the front door. Surely, someone passing by would see it. He then turned his attention to the library itself.He was surprised to discover that this place was not so bad. Rows and rows of books! When he saw a book about Michael Jordan on the desk, he picked it up. He opened the book and began to read. He felt that being locked in the library didn't seem to be such a terrible thing.()1. David's mother wanted him to ________.A. play basketball with JimB. take a walk in the streetC. read books in the libraryD. return his sister's books()2. David thought he had read a lot during ________.A. a visit to Jim'sB. the school yearC. the closing timeD. the summertime()3. David went inside the building because ________.A. the sun began to setB. he wanted to use the telephoneC. he needed to go to the toiletD. the outside return box was locked()4. Which of the following is true about the library EXCEPT ________.A. the library is open during summertimeB. there is a return box in the library for people to return booksC. there are very few books in the libraryD. the library is on the way to Jim’s house()5. David discovered that ________ after he was locked in the library.A. he was very afraid of the darkB. he became interested in this placeC. his mom was worried about himD. his friend became nervous about him9Is there a connection between music and language?According to recent studies, the answer is yes: Music improves certain language abilities in the brain. Here, let's look at two examples.A recent study by researcher Kraus shows that playing a musical instrument can improve a person’s hearing ability. In his study, two groups of people listened to a person talking in a noisy room.The people in the first group were musicians, while those in the second group had no musical training. The musicians were able to hear the talking person more clearly. Musicians hear better because they learn to pay attention to certain sounds. Think about violinists in an orchestra. When the violinists play with the group, they hear their own instrument and many others, too. But the violinists must listen closely to what they are playing, and pay no attention to the other sounds. In this way, musicians are able to focus on certain sounds, even in a room with lots of noise.Schlaug, a doctor at Harvard Medical School, works with stroke (中风) patients. Because of their illness, these people cannot say their names, addresses, or other information normally. However, they can still sing. Schlaug was surprised to find that singing words helped his patients to speak. Why does this work? Schlaug isn't sure. Music seems to make different parts of the brain work, including the broken parts. This might help patients to use that part of the brain again. Music improves attention, memory, listening skills, and our overall language abilities. It can even help sick people get better.Playing an instrument or singing can help us do better in school and keep our brain sharp (敏锐的) as we get older. Music is not only enjoyable, it's also good for us in many other ways.()1. ________ ability can be improved according to Kraus's recent study.A. SpeakingB. HearingC. TeachingD. Singing()2. The example of the violinists is shown to tell us that ________.A. violinists always focus on what they are playingB. speaking is more important than hearingC. music teaches the violinist how to singD. playing an instrument can help us be a better man()3. The underlined word “orchestra”means ______.A. 摇滚乐队B. 交响乐团C. 音乐俱乐部D. 故事会()4. Which of the following is TRUE?A. Music can't make different brain parts work.B. Music can never help sick people get better.C. Playing an instrument can help us do better in study.D. Singing words helped patients to dance.()5. The best title for this passage would be ________.A. The Meaning of MusicB. The Love for Music InstrumentC. Music can Make a DifferenceD. Music and Noise10()1. The fairs and festivals take place in ________.A. the USAB. ChinaC. BritainD. Italy()2. If you want to play with animals in June, you may go to________.A. Dragon Boat FestivalB. Kids' FairC. Fruit FestivalD. Fun Fair()3.

The purpose of the passage is ________.A. giving introductions of companiesB. providing information on activitiesC. offering information for job huntingD. helping schools to organize fairs11During the summer holiday, some students might have been busy with traveling, summer camps and all kinds of courses. But a special group of Chinese middle school students decided to taste the hardship of life outside school.Twelve students in a big city sold vegetables at a local market together. Within 12 days, they made more than 1,500 yuan. Among them, the oldest is 21 years old, while the youngest is just 10. They are all cousins in a big family and eight of them are from rural areas.“Compared to traveling, such social practice connects us and makes us learn how tough our parents are,” said Dalin,18, to the City Morning Post. Dalin, a senior high graduate, and her 12-year-old brother Xiaolin came up with the idea.They learned to work hard to sell their veggies. Every morning they had to wake up at 3 o'clock. Some of them went to the farmer's market to buy vegetables. Some of them went to the local market to take up a temporary stall (临时摊位). To lower the cost, they learned to bargain (讲价)with the sellers.At about 6:30 am, they began to sell vegetables. They peddled (吆喝) loudly to attract(吸引)customers. After several days, they got some experience, too.For example, it was better to put vegetables in order and bigger ones on top. When the vegetables are too heavy, they should give customers an extra plastic bag.When they finally packed up and went home, they had a small meeting. Everyone took notes and shared their feelings.“We are tired,” said Dalin, “but we gained a lot.”()1. In the writer's opinion, the 12 students' action was ________.A. popularB. encouragingC. strangeD. embarrassing()2. The cousins decided to sell vegetables at a market to ________.A. show how able they wereB. have less hardship of lifeC. learn how hard their parents workD. prepare for their future traveling()3.

It's clear that ________.A. they took up the temporary stall in turnB. they gave each customer an extra plastic bagC. Dalin and Xiaolin got the idea of selling vegetablesD. the elder sold vegetables when the younger took notes()5. The best tile of the story should be ________.A. Summer CoursesB. Family BusinessC. Students Learn from BargainsD. Cousins Work with Vegetables12Buying Is Doing?How important is shopping to you? How much time do you spend buying things? And how much time do you spend organizing these things in your home? In the future, how much time will you spend in movie theaters, at amusement parks, at shopping malls, or at convenience stores? When you add it all up, you will probably see you spend a lot of your life consuming(消费)things. Consuming products is not necessarily bad. However, if we spend too much time doing it, we should look at it carefully.Imagine that you have a week off from school. You don't have to go to class. However, in this week, you cannot spend any money—no shopping, no movies, no eating out. How would you spend your time?What things would bring you happiness? Perhaps you would take a walk with your best friend. Perhaps you would help a child read. Or you might spend time with your family.When we look back, it is likely that non-consuming experiences like these will be our most important memories. Why? Non-consuming activities are active, not passive. They don't come in a package. You make the experience yourself. For example, when you have a conversation with a friend, you are actively creating an experience. The conversation that you have with your friend cannot be experienced or recreated by anyone else. However, if you watch a movie with a friend, you will each have a package experience. It requires no action and little interaction between the two of you.The environment we live in encourages us to have packaged experiences. We feel that we must consume because we believe that buying is doing. However, we can start a personal revolution (变革) against consumerism. How? By consuming less. We can ask ourselves what experiences bring us the greatest satisfaction. Then we can organize our lives so that we have more of those kinds of experiences.()1. If consuming products takes too much time, we should ________.A. spend less moneyB. think about it carefullyC. organize our thingsD. go to convenience stores()2. The Chinese meaning of “passive”in the fourth paragraph is ________.A. 主动的B. 快乐的C. 消极的D. 盲目的()3. The underlined word “It”in Paragraph 4 is about ________.A. shoppingB. reading a bookC. talking with friendsD. watching a movie()4. According to the passage, the writer believes that ________.A. we can say no to consumerism by consuming lessB. buying things can bring us the greatest satisfactionC. the environment seldom influences our shopping choicesD. consuming experiences will be our most important memories ()5. What is the writer's main purpose in writing this passage?A. To introduce some ways of enjoying our spare time.B. To encourage people to have more active experiences.C. To explain reasons behind people's shopping behavior.D. To share his personal experience in consuming products.11-5CDCAB21-5ADCAB31-5CCBDB41-5BBCAD51-5BCADB61-5CBDCA71-5AABAD81-5DBDCB91-5BABCC101-5ADBDB 111-5BCACD 121-5BCDAB。

第3章实战演练--Section III 科学小品篇【科学小品篇】--1Researchers (研究者) have announced (宣布) the result of two studies on the health effects of the drug aspirin (阿斯匹林). One study shows aspirin can sharply reduce the chance that a healthy, older man will suffer from a heart attack (心脏病).The study offered two new results from earlier findings. It said taking one aspirin pill every other day helped only healthy men over the age of fifty. It also said aspirin gave the greatest protection against heart attacks to men with low blood cholesterol (胆固醇) levels.Earlier in the United States began a major aspirin study in the early 1980s. It included 22,000 healthy men doctors. All were between the ages of forty and eighty-four. More than 11,000 of the doctors took a harmless pill that contained no drug. The men did not know which kind of pill they were taking.The doctors who took aspirin suffered 44% fewer heart attacks than those taking the harmless pill. 139 men who took aspirin suffered from heart attacks. Ten of them died. 239 men who did not take aspirin suffered from heart attacks. Twenty-six of them died.The researchers said the doctors’ study provides cl ear proof that taking aspirin can prevent a first heart attack in healthy, older men. They said, however, the result does not mean every man over the age of fifty should take aspirin. They said aspirin couldn’t help men who do not eat healthy foods, who smoke cigarettes and who are fat. The researchers said men who think they would be helped by taking aspirin should talk with their doctors first.1.The passage tells us that the new use of aspirin is ______.A.to treat heart diseaseB. to reduce pain while one suffers from a heart attackC. to help old people to be more healthyD. to reduce the chance of a heart attack in old men2.Aspirin can help those who ______.A work as doctors B. are under 40 years oldC. are fat and smoke cigarettesD. are older and healthy3.At last the researchers advised us to take aspirin ______.A.with careB. as much as we likeC. every dayD. only considering the age4.From the experiment we can conclude that about _____ of people who suffered from heart attacks without aspirin died.A. 7%B. 11%C. 19%D. 44%【答案与解析】本文介绍了科学家对阿斯匹林的研究成果。

Many people know that rubbish is a big problem on planet Earth. What many peopledon't know is that junk(垃圾)has become a problem in outer space too.According to BBC News, there are more than 22, 000 pieces of space junk floating around the earth. And these are just the things that we can see from the surface of the earth by telescopes (望远镜). There are also millions of smaller pieces of junk that wecan't see.Objects, like bits of old space rockets or satellites, move around the planet at very high speeds fast that even a very small piece can break important satellites or become dangerous to astronauts. If the tiniest piece of junk crashed into a spaceship, it could damage the vehicle.To make things worse, when two objects in space crash, they break into many smaller pieces. For example, when a U.S. satellite hit an old Russian rocket in 2009, it broke into more than 2,000 pieces, increasing the amount of space junk.To reduce additional space junk, countries have agreed that all new space tools can only stay in space for 25 years at most. Each tool must be built to fall safely into the earth's atmosphere after that time. In the upper parts of the atmosphere, it will burn up.Many scientists also suggesting different ways to clean up space junk. In England scientists are testing a metal net that can be fired into space junk. The net catches the junk and then pulls it into the earth's atmosphere to burn up. The Germans are building robots that can collect pieces of space junk and bring them back to Earth to be safely destroyed.The problem is becoming more challenging because we're sending more objects into space to help people use their mobile phones and computers,” says Marco Castronuovo, an Italian space Researcher.“The time to act is now. The longer we leave the problem, the bigger it will become,” he says.(1)What does th e underlined word “these” in Paragraph 2 refer toA. Telescopes.B. Satellites.C. Piec es of space junk.D. BBC news reports.(2)Why is space junk considered a problemA. It burns up after it re-enters the atmosphereB. It often stops the view of telescopes on EarthC. It could force new space tools to travel at slower speedsD. It may crash into other space tools causing damage or deat(3)Countries want future space tools to be able to fall back into the earth's atmosphere so that .A. the tools can be reusedlater B. the tools don't become space junkC. the earth's atmosphere can stay cleanD. the effects of space flight can be studiedA. Catch it withnets.B. Use robots to collect it.C. Burn it in the earth's atmosphere.D. Send it further away from the earth.(5)In which section of the newspaper would you probably read this articleA.

This passage is mainly about “________”.A. How to use ComputersB. Surfing on the InternetC. Information on the InternetD. Internet Safety RulesKey: D BCCDBDo you know why different animals or pests (昆虫) have their special colors? Colors in them seem to be used mainly to protect themselves.Some birds like eating locusts (蝗虫), but birds cannot easily catch them. Why? It is because locusts change their colors together with the change of the colors of crops(庄稼). When crops are green, locusts look green. But as the harvest time comes, locusts change to the same brown color as crops have. Some other pests with different colors from plants are easily found and eaten by others. So they have to hide themselves for lives and appear only at night.If you study the animal life, you’ll find the main use of coloring is to protect themselves. Bears, lions and other animals move quietly through forests. They cannot be easily seen by hunters (猎人). This is because they have the colors much like the trees.Have you ever noticed an even stranger act? A kind of fish in the sea can send out a kind of very black liquid (液体)when it faces danger. While the liquid spreads over (散开), its enemies (敌人)cannot find it. And it immediately swims away. So it has lived up to now though it is not strong at all.()1.From the passage we learn that locusts________.A. are small animalsB. are easily found by birdsC. are dangerous to their enemiesD. change their colors to protect themselves()2.How can pests with different colors from plants keep out of danger?A.

He had an unusual voice and he wanted to work in Disney’s cartoon(动画片) film for children. When Walt Disney heard Nash’s voice, he said ”Stop! That’s our duck!”The duck was the now-famous Donald Duck, who first appeared in 1934 in the firm The Wise Little Hen. Donald lived in an old houseboat(水上住家) and wore his sailor jacket and hat. Later that year he became a star after an eight –minute Mickey Mouse film. The cinema audience liked him because he was lazy and greedy(贪婪的), and because he lost his temper (发脾气) very quickly. And they loved his voice when he became angry with Mickey’s eight nephews(侄子). Soon Donald was more popular than Mickey Mouse himself, probabl y because he wasn‘t a goody-goody like Mickey.In the 1930S, ‗ 40s and ‗ 50s Donald and his friends Mickey, Goofy and Pluto made hundreds of Disney cartoons. He also made educational films about the place of the USA in the world, and safety in the home. Then in 1966 Donald Duck and his voice disappeared – there were no more new cartoons.Clarence Nash died in February, 1985.

He was so well known for his good knowledge of almost everything that lots of people from all over the country came to learn from him. The great man taught his students whole-heartedly and answered their questions with great patience.One day a student asked him, ― My dear teacher, didn‘t you say you yourself have many ,many more questions about things than we do? But I think we students have far more than you.‖With a smile on his face, the teacher drew two circles ,one as large as a big cake, the other smaller. Then he said , ―Of course, I have learned much more. But it‘s wrong to think that a teacher has fewer questions than his students. Now, look at these two circles. The inside of the bigger one is my knowledge of things, and the inside of the smaller one is yours. Out of the circles is what is still unknown to us. Since mine is larger, I have to use the longer line to draw the bigger circle. That means I have more opportun ities to face what is still unknown. And that‘s why I myself have more questions than you do. The more you learn , the more questions you have. Y ou will never learn enough ,you know.‖()1.

They learn languages, history, politics, geography, physics, chemistry and mathematics. Others go to school to learn a skill so that they can make a living. School education is very important and useful .Y et, no one can learn everything from school. A teacher, no matter how much he knows, can not teach his students everything they wantto know. The teacher‘s job is to show his students how to learn. He teaches them how to read and how to think. So, much more is to be learned outside school by the students themselves.It is always more important to know how to study by oneself than to memorize some facts or a formula. It is actually quite easy to learn a certain fact in history or a formula in mathematics. But it is very difficult to use a formula in working out a math problem. G reat scientists before us didn‘t get everything from school .Their teachers only showed them the way. Edison did not even finish primary school. But they were all so successful. They invented so many things for mankind. The reason for their success is that they knew how to study. They read books that were not taught at school . They would ask many questions as they read. They did thousands of experiments. They worked hard all their lives, wasting not a single moment. Above all , they knew how to use their brain.()1. People go to school to _______.A. learn several subjectsB. make a livingC. get an educationD. to learn a skill()2. According to the passage, the most important thing a teacher should do is________.A. to teach his students everything he knowsB. to know everythingC. to teach the students how to thinkD. to teach the students how to study by themselves()3.
