My class and I visited Chris Care Center in Phoenix, Arizona to comfort the old people who needed a little cheering up during the holiday season.The first two 36 there were for persons requiring help in taking care of themselves. We sang 37 for them.

However, one lady 40 my eye. She was sitting by the door, in a wheelchair, singing songs to herself. They weren‟t the songs that we were singing, at least they didn‟t 41 like that. As we got 42 with each festive song, she did as well. The louder we got, the louder she got. 43 she was singing, she was also 44 out to us with her hands and body. I knew that I should have gone over to her, but I thought that my 45 were to my students. People who worked at the care center could 46 to her, I thought. Just when I stopped feeling 47 about not giving her the attention she needed, one of my students, Justin, showed me what the holiday season is really about.Justin also 48 the same lady. The difference between us is that he 49 on her needs, but I didn‟t. During the last song, “Silent Night,” Justin walked over to her and held her hand. He looked this aged lady in her 50 and with his actions said, “You are important, and I will take my 51 to let you know that.”This tired, elderly lady stopped singing and held his hand. Then she touched his cheek with the other hand. Tears began to fall down her face. No 52 can completely describe that touching moment...It 53 a boy to teach me, a man, about kindness and love.

2014北京英语中考二模各区县汇总--阅读D篇
2014北京中考二模各区县阅读理解D篇汇总DongchengSports, drama, and all kinds of organizations keep students busy during high school. Where do they get the money to do these things? Not everyone gets it from parents. Most have to work for at least some of the money to pay for these activities. Some adults question if high school students should have jobs. I say yes, they undoubtedly should.Some people worry that teens with after-school jobs will have difficulty finding time for schoolwork. Actually, having a job helps teens make better use of their time. Many jobs take only a couple of hours on weeknights. According to an article, 86 percent of high school students have an after-school, weekend or summer job and students who work between 10 and 20 hours per week during the school year get higher grades than those who do not work at all. Instead of considering working after school a hindrance, it should be looked at as real-world education.Other people think that work adds too much stress(压力), which may be somewhat true, but whether having a job or not, there is always stress. Better to learn how to deal with busy schedules(日程表)in a controlled environment like high school than to be out on your own and alone in the future, experiencing stress for the first time. I personally would be worried about the teenager who has to become independent without having any experience of working.The biggest reason teens should work is that it is a healthy way of making money. There are many things teens need to pay for and they cannot do it if they don’t have a job. Not all parents can pay for these activities. My dad told me, “Having a job is a good way to save up for things you ar e going to need or want to do. You get a lot more out of things if you pay for them yourself.” The sooner kids make money, the sooner they can learn how to use money wisely. If they are not allowed to work in high school, they may have a hard time in the future. Teens should, without a doubt, be allowed to work on school nights.56. The word “hindrance” in Paragraph 2 probably means “_______”.A. something that encourages teens to studyB. something that helps teens improve studyC. something that prevents teens from studyingD. something that makes teens lose interest in study57. What can we learn from Paragraph 3?A. Teens are too busy with study to work at high school.B. Teens experience stress for the first time at high school.C. Teens are worried about being independent in the future.D. Teens who work will deal with stress better in the future.58. Which of the following is true according to the passage?A. Working makes teens get lower grades.B. Working teaches teens to spend money more wisely.C. Working helps teens to get on better with their parents.D. Working stops teens from taking part in after-school activities.59. What does the passage mainly talk about?A. What money means to teens.B. Why teens should work after school.C. Whether parents should help teens find jobs.D. How teens get money for after-school activities.BCDCElephants are social animals. They live with their families, give hugs andcall each other by using their trunks (象鼻) as trumpets. They also might knowhow to help each other.In a recent elephant study by researchers from the United States andThailand, pairs of huge animals learned to cooperate (work together) to getsome ears of corn. Perhaps the finding is not too surprising: scientists supposethat elephants may be among the smartest animals on the planet.Joshua Plotnik, who worked on the study, told Science News that the animals didn‘t just learn a trick (诀窍). Instead, the ways the elephants behaved show that they understand how working together brings benefits to everyone.To work out whether elephants can cooperate, Plotnik and Frans de Waal, a comparative psychologist at Emory University in Atlanta, built a test. The test was based on one that‘s been used t o study the behavior of primates (灵长类动物) for more than 70 years.In the case (案例) of elephants, they were trying to get to some delicious corn sitting on a stage. The rope ran around the stage. Animals received corn treats only if both pulled the rope ends at the same time with their trunks. This cooperation brought the stage close enough for them to reach the corn with their trunks.The scientists studied six elephants at the Thai Elephant Conservation Center in Lampang, Thailand. The elephants worked out how to get the corn, but Plotnik and his co-workers wanted to know if the animals had simply learned a trick, or if they understood some basic ideas about cooperation. So the researchers did more experiments. In one, a single elephant was led to the rope and stood, alone, waiting. The animal waited patiently for more than 25 seconds for another elephant to come along — the animals seemed to know that sometimes, you have to wait for help to get the job done.Sometimes an elephant waited as long as 45 seconds. ―That‘s a long time for an animal waiting for food,‖ Plotnik told Science News.So far, only elephants and primates have successfully cooperated to master this kind of pull-together test. But that doesn‘t necessarily mean other animals don‘t cooperate. Plotnik says many behaviors in the animal kingdom may be explained by cooperation, but perhaps human scientists don‘t understand the rules. Experiments like the simple pull-together test give scientists a way to begin to learn.56. Which of the following is true about elephants?A. They use their trunks as trumpets for fun.B. They probably know how to help others.C. They play with other animal families.D. They like eating ears of corn best.57. Why does the writer talk about the case of elephants?A. To explain why elephants are among the smartest animals.B. To tell us that elephants are patient enough to get the food.C. To show us how the experiments on elephants were organized.D. To suggest that elephants have some basic ideas of cooperation.58. What can we know from the passage?A. Many animals‘ behaviors are related to cooperation.B. Some scientists have found animals‘ rules of cooperation.C. Moststudies can prove the reason why animals cooperate.D. More experiments are needed to help know about cooperation.59. What might be the best title for the passage?A. Think of ―You‖ in WorkingB. A Way to Begin to LearnC. There‘s No‘I’ in ElephantD. No Match for ElephantTanzania Tarangire is a national Park which lies in Tanzania.The park itself covers an area of around 2,850 square kilometers, making it the sixth largest park of its kind in the country. I recently visited Tarangire to see what it was like.One of the first sightings upon entering the park which I foundwas a huge group of elephants.Our guide told us thatTagrangire was probably the best place in Tanzania to find large group of elephants, and that their population in the park was around 2,500.We continued to watch the elephants as they stood under treesand_scratched_themselves_against_the_trees_to_hit_the_spot_of_an_itch.To the right of the elephant group, we noticed a big tree! Our guide informed us that this was a Baobab tree and that they could live for hundreds of pared with this tree, the elephant just looked like dwarfs (much smaller plants or animals)! We were informed that Tarangire was one of the best National Parks in Africa to see so many Baobab trees.As we continued our drive through the park, we finally reached a watering hole.Our guide warned us that there were lions all around us.It took us all a while to find them, but there they were! Most of them are resting in the shade under bushes, but there was one that was drinking from the watering hole directly in front of us.We then noticed just to our right, there were a couple of fresh zebra bodies —it seemed as if the lions which were resting had killed them! We were unlucky not to have seen the kill, as our guide had mentioned that the zebra bodies were fresh and the kill had happened within the last hour.Our final big sighting was one that none of us were expecting to see, even our guide! We stopped at a place where there were quite a many cars, with a sleeping leopard(美洲豹)there! We took photos and watched its surprising body before returning to our hotel as it was getting late.So, I hope you enjoyed my description of Tarangire, and add this amazing park to your very own Tanzania travel route.(401)57. Which statement is correct about the park?A. It covers an area of about 2,580 square kilometers.B. It is the largest park of its kind in the country.C. Their population in the park was around 2,000.D. There are a lot of Baobab trees in the park.58. What does the underlined part in paragraph 2 infer?A. They moved their bodies against the trees to solve the skin problem.B. They rested under the trees, doing nothing, just for killing the time.C. They helped each other to knock down the dirty things on their bodiesD. They guarded their baobab trees, fighting the terrible leopards and lions.59. What does the passage possibly tell us?A. A. Page from Tanzania Tourist Diary.B. Animals and Plants in Tarangire Park.C. A Visit to Tarangire National Park.D. Protecting Animals and Environment.MengtougouBEING an astronaut sounds cool, doesn’t it? In space, they get to do some pretty amazing things, like floating(漂浮) in zero gravity(重力).However, there are also plent y of things that astronauts can’t do because of their weightless environment, and that’s very sad. What’s worse, they can’t even let their sadness show, because it’s impossible to cry in zero gravity.Of course, astronauts can still produce tears(眼泪). But crying is much more difficult in space, according to The Atlantic(大西洋月刊) in Janu ary. Without gravity, tears don’t flow(流动) down out of the eyes like they do here on Earth. This means that when you cry in space, your tears have nowhere to go — they just stick(粘) to your eyes.In May 2011, astronaut Andrew Feustel experienced this during one of his spacewalks. “Tears,” he said, “don’t fall off of your eyes. They just stay there.”Besides making your vision(视线) unclear, this can also cause physical pain. Back on Earth, tears are supposed to bring comfort to the eye s. But that’s not the case(情况) in space. The space environment dries out astronauts’ eyes, and when tears suddenly wet the eyes, it can cause pain rather than comfort. “My right eye is stinging(刺痛) like crazy,” Feustel told his teammate during the walk.Since gravity doesn’t work in space, astronauts need some extra help to get rid of(除去) the tears. Feustel chose to rub his eyes against his helmet to wipe(擦) the tears away. Another choice is to just wait —“When the tears get big enough, they simply break fre e of the eyes and float around,”astronaut Ron Parise told The Atlantic.There are lots of small things — things like crying — that we are so used to on Earth. We usually take them for granted until they become a problem in a totally different environment, like space. There, astronauts can’t talk to eac h other directly. They also can’t eat or drink in normal ways. They can’t even burp(打嗝), because there is no gravity to hold the food down in their stomach. If they do burp, they just end up throwing up(呕吐) everything in their stomach, according to the UK National Space Center.Therefore, perhaps it’s only space explorers who can honestly say, “G ravity, you’re the best.”56. From Paragraphs 2 and 3, we can know that __________.A. astronauts are unable to feel sad in spaceB. astronauts produce fewer tears in spaceC. tears produced in space flow down more slowlyD. tea rs produced in space don’t flow downward57. What effect do tears have on astronauts?A. They cause physical pain.B. They bring comfort to them.C. They make their vision clearer.D. They float around and cause trouble.58. The underlined phr ase “take them for granted” in paragraph 7 means __________.A. find them importantB. consider them uselessC. need them during an emergencyD. fail to notice their presence59. Paragraph 7 is mainly about __________.A. suggestions of how astronauts can stay comfortable in spaceB. other basic things that are difficult to do in spaceC. why burping is impossible in space“Our aim is to take our art to the world and make people understand what it is to move,”said David Belle, the founder of parkour (跑酷).Close your eyes and imagine you are living in the next two centuries or more. You'll b e living in a world filled with smart robots, which will be helping you to take care of your children, or your elderly parents in your home. You'll live much longer thanks to the medicine made by genetic (基因的) science. And mankind may be going farther in space than ever before-you will be living on the moon or Mars.How should we view the changes that wait for us in the future? Should we be optimistic (乐观的)about the years ahead, or worried about what the future holds? Some scientists and experts are having a discussion about how technology, science and society will develop in the future."I'm looking forward to the day when more technology will come to my life," says John Searle, a professor at the University of California Berkeley Philosophy, "because I think further research in such areas as genetics, physics, chemistry and medicine will help us to overcome poverty, improve health, and make life longer."Hugh Herr, at MIT's Biomechatronics Group, considers very powerful weapons as concern over the future. Another is the growing role of technology in our lives."Machines’ taking over what humans do is not a good thing," Herr says.That is a similar concern shared by Daniela Cerqui, a social and cultural scientist. "I am afraid that the long-term future we are building will have no space left for human beings," says Cerqui. "The main values of our society are related to information that must progress as quickly as possible, and computers are much better than humans in these tasks."56. The second paragraph mainly tells us ________.A. how science will develop in the futureB. how people will live in a modern societyC. what life would be like in the futureD. what computers will bring to our society57. From Paragraph 4 we can infer that ___________.A. John Searl is optimistic about the futureB. we should wait to see the changes in the futureC. John Searl worries much about what the future holdsD. further science research will be helpful for making life longer58. The underlined word "That" in the last paragraph refers to________.A. The poverty problem in the futureB. Machines’ taking over what humans doC. The technology of weaponsD. The health problem of humans59. The best title for the passage can be “___________”.A. The Future--Full of Hope or ConcernB. Great Changes Will Take Place in the FutureC. The Relationship Between Technology and HumansD. The Role of Robots and Computers in the FutureCABAYou are given many chances in life to choose to be a victim(受害者) or creator. When you choose to be a victim, the world is a cold and difficult place. “They” did things to you which caused all of your pain and suffering. “They” are wrong and bad, and life is terrible as long as “they” are around. Or you may blame yourself for all your problems, then internalizing(内化)your victimization. The truth is, your life is likely to stay that way as long as you feel a need to blame yourself or others.Those who choose to be creators look at life quite differently. They know there are persons who might like to control their lives, but they don’t let this get in the way. They know they have their weaknesses, yet they don’t blame themselves when they fail. Whatever happens, they have choice in the matter. They believe their dance with each sacred(神圣的)moment of life is a gift and that storms are a natural part of life which can bring the rain needed for emotional and spiritual growth.Victims and creators live in the same physical world and deal with many of the same problems, yet their experience of life is different worlds. Victims are easy to be in anger, guilt, and other emotions that cause others--and even themselves--to feel like victims, too. Creators choose love, inspiration, and other qualities which inspire(鼓舞)not only themselves, but all around them. Both victims and creators always have choice to decide the direction of their lives.In fact, all of us play the victim or the creator at different points in our lives. One person, on losing a job or a special relationship, may feel as if it is the end of the world and go into terrible suffering for months, years, or even a lifetime. Another with the same experience may choose to first experience the sadness, then accept the loss and soon move on to be a powerful creative strength in his life.In every moment and every situation, you can choose to have fuller, richer life by setting a clear goal to change the victim within, and by inviting into your life the powerful creator that you are.56. What does the word “they” in Paragraph 1 probably refer to?A. People and things around you.B. Chances and problems.C. Creators and their choices.D. Victims and their sufferings.57. What can we learn from the passage?A. Creators have the ability to predict future life.B. Creators deal with ups and downs of life wisely.C. Victims can influence more people than creators.D. Victims and creators face quite different things in life.58. The examples mentioned in Paragraph 4 show that ________.A. strong feelings of sufferings in life pull people into victims.B. people need family support to deal with sufferings in life.C. it takes creators quite a long time to clear out their pains.D. one’s experiences de cide his attitude toward his life.59. What is the writer’s purpose in writing this p assage?A. To describe victims and creators.B. To compare victims with creators.C. To suggest changing from victims to creators.D. To explain the relation between victims and creators.ABACBig Brothers Big Sisters is based on the simplicity and power(力量)of friendship.It is a program which provides friendship and fun by matching vulnerable young people (ages 7-17) with a volunteer adult who can be both a role model and a supportive friend.V olunteer tutors come from all walks of life—married, single, with or without children. Big Brothers and Big Sisters are not replacement parents or social workers. They are tutors: someone to trust, to have fun with, to talk and go to when needed.A Big Sister and Little Sister will generally spend between one and four hours together three or four times each month for at least twelve months. They enjoy simple activities such as a picnic at a park, cooking, doing sports or going to a football match. These activities improve the friendship and help the young person develop self-respect, confidence and life direction.Big Brothers Big Sisters organizations can be found throughout the world. It is the largest and most well-known provider of tutor services internationally and has been operating for 25 years.Emily and Sarah have been matched since 2008. Emily is a 15-year-old girl who has experienced some difficulties being accepted by her schoolmates at school. “ I was pretty sure there was something wrong with me.”Emily’s mum came across Big Brothers Big Sisters and thought it would be of benefit to Emily by “providing different feedback about herself other than just depending on schoolmates to measure(测量) her self-worth.Sarah wanted to get involved(使参与) in a volunteer program. “I googled it and found out how to be a part of it. I thought it would be fun for me to get involved in making time to do something because sometimes it is all work and no play.”Big Brothers Big Sisters has been of great benefit and enjoyment to both Emily and Sarah. They love and look forward to their time together and the partnership has certainly helped Emily be more comfortable in being the wonderful and happy girl she is!56.According to the passage, “vulnerable young people” are probably those who are _________.A.popular at school B.rather weak physicallyC.easily hurt emotionally D.confident in themselves57.A volunteer is usually expected to work within a year for at least______.A.72 hours B.48 hours C.36 hours D.24 hours58.Why did Sarah want to get involved in the program?A.She felt a bit bored with her life. B.She used to be a volunteer.C.She needed a part-time job. D.She wanted to get a difficult job.59.What is the purpose of Big Brothers Big Sisters?A.To offer students public services.B.To help students improve their grades.C.To organize funny sport activities for young people.D.To provide partnership and fun for young people.CCADA new study suggests that the more teenagers watch television, the more likely they are to develop depression as young adults.The researchers used a national long-term survey of healthy young teenagers of about 13-16 to find out the relationship between media use and depression. They based their findings on more than4000 young teenagers who were not depressed when the survey began in 1995.As part of the survey, the young people were asked how many hours of television or videos they watched daily. They were also asked how often they played computer games and listened to the radio.Here was the result. The young people spent five and a half hours a day using media and more than 2 hours of that was spent watching TV.Seven years later, in 2001, more than 7% of the young people had signs of depression. The average age at that time was 21. Brian Primack at the University of Pittsburgh medical school was the lead author of the new study. He says every extra hour of television meant an 8% increase in the chances of developing signs of depression.The researchers say they did not find any such relationship with the use of other media such as movies, video games or radio. But the study did find that young men were more likely than young women to develop depression given the same amount of media use.Doctor Primack says the study did not find out if watching TV causes depression directly. But one possibility, he says, is that it may take time away from activities that could help prevent depression, like sports and social activities. It might also prevent a person from sleeping well, he says, and that could have an influence.The study was just published in the Archives of General Psychiatry.In December, the journal Social Indicators Research published a study of activities that help lead to happy lives. Researchers from the University of Maryland found that people who describe themselves as happy spend less time watching television than unhappy people. The study found that happy people are more likely to be socially active, to read, attend social services and to vote.56. Who was in charge of the new study of depression?A. MarylandB. PittsburghC. Brian PrimackD. General Psychiatry57. What does the word “depression”mean? It’s a kind of _____.A. voteB. studyC. sportsD. disease58. In 2001, more than ______ young people in the research had got the signs of depression.A. 7B. 21C. 280D. 400059. What does the writer want to tell us?A. The scientific research can prevent people from having depression.B. People are sure to benefit from watching TV less while taking activities more.C. Giving up all the uses of media and this will make you become a healthy person.D. The researchers will stop the study as it’s too difficult to understand the relationship between media useand depressionCDCBIf you bought some candy months ago but never ate it, how can you tellwhether it’s still eata ble? The easiest way is to check the “expiration date (保质期)” printed on the wrapper. If that date has already passed, you’re likelyto throw the candy away. But is that really necessary?According to a new report from the US Natural Resources DefenseCouncil (NRDC), tons of food is wasted each year, largely because peopledon’t fully understand what expiration dates, or “use-by dates”, actuallymean.Food dating was introduced in 1970s because customers wanted moreinformation about the things that they were eating. When they first showed up, use-by dates only showed freshness because producers wanted their products to be tasted in their best conditions.However, most customers mistakenly believed that use-by dates showed how safe the food was, and they still largely do. But the truth is that these dates aren’t related to the danger of food poisoning(中毒), according to Time News. Eggs, for example, can still be eaten three to five weeks after being bought, even though the use-by date is much earlier. When their use-by dates pass, strawberry-flavored cookies may lose their crunch (松脆的口感), but they are not harmful.“It’s an unclear subject, the difference between food quality(质量) and food safety,” said Jena Roberts, vice president of National Food Lab, a US food testing company. “Even in the food industry has workmates who are not sure about it.”This is why scientists are calling for a standard explanation to be printed following the use-by dates. “We want this to be clearly communicated so customers are not misinterpreting the information and wasting a lot of food,” said Dana Gunders, a staff scientist with the NRDC.But this won’t be a mistake that is easy to correct since people have believed it for so long. Another problem is that the quality levels of different foods change differently-some are still eatable long after their use-by date while others are not.As a result, food industry officials are now thinking of changing the use-by date to a date showing when food is most likely to throw away.56. What does the writer mainly want to tell us in Paragraph 1?A. When we throw the food away. C. How we check the expiration date.C. How we know if the food is eatable.D. Whether we have to throw the food.57. The underlined word “misinterpreting” probably means_________.A. paying attention toB. taking no notice ofC. making guesses aboutD. having a wrong idea about58. What can we learn from the passage?A. Most customers have a clear idea of what expiration dates mean.B. Most customers now care more about freshness than food safety.C. Even after their expiration dates pass, some foods are still safe to eat.D. “Expiration dates” were first used to show when food was likely to go bad.59. What is probably the best title for this passage?A. Customers and food.B. Food quality and freshness.C. Use-by-dates and quality levels.D. Expiration dates and food safety.People often say that the Englishman’s home is his castle. They mean that the home is very important and personal to him. Most people in Britain live in houses rather than flats, and many people own their homes. This means that they can make them individual(个体的); they can paint them, and change them in any way they like. Most houses have a garden, even if it is a very small one, and the garden is usually loved. The house and the garden are the private space of the individual.People usually like to mark their space. Are you sitting now in your home or on a train? Have you marked the space around yourself as yours? If you are on the train, you may put your coat or small bag on the seat beside you. If you share a flat, you may have one corner or chair which is your own.Once I was travelling on a train to London. I was in a section for four people and there was a table between us .The man put his briefcase on my side of the table. I was angry. Maybe he thought that he owned the whole table. I had read a book about non-verbal communication, so I took various papers out of my bag and put them on his briefcase! When I did this, he stiffened and his eyes nearly popped(瞪出)out of his head. I had invaded(侵犯)his space! A few minutes later, I took my papers off his case in order to read them. He immediately moved his case to his side of the table. Of course, it is possible that he just wanted to be helpful to me!If you are visiting another country, you may feel that you don’t have any private space. Hotel rooms look much the same in every country in the world. All day long, you share public spaces with other people. You see the local people in their private spaces and you fe el lonely and “outside”. Local people can create their private spaces by talking about things you don’t know about .And you even feel that they like you to be outside of them so that they will enjoy bein g inside even more! This is one of the difficulties of being a traveler! But if you understand it, then it helps you .Haven’t you enjoyed being part of a group and “owning” a bit of space?56. The writer was angry as he was travelling on a train to London because______.A. he had no place to sitB. someon e had invaded his “space”C. too many people shared a section with himD. some other people talked about things he didn’t know about57. you feel lonely and “outside” in paragraph 4 means that_______.A. you are alone outside the houseB. you feel lonely because you travel on your ownC. you are alone and therefore you go outside to have some funD. you feel lonely and you don’t belong to that place or that group of people58. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A. British people dislike marking their space.B. You always feel at home in another country.C. Most British people prefer living in hous es to flats.D. You can’t mark your private space in a foreign country.59. The main purpose of the passage is to tell readers to _______.A. own private spaces by living in housesB. have one corner of their own in public placesC. create their private spaces by talking with local people。

You looked so happy!After losing two grandparents within the past year, I have taken some time to reflect on what is most important. I want to let you know what a positive influence you have been on me. I am the person I am because of you.I remember being on your farm a lot when I was younger. I remember the projects you planned for us. We painted rocks to represent our family members. We made doll clothes out of colorful socks. We made many “playhouse” in the woods.We learned that if you left a bucket of soybeans in the rain, you would soon have a bucket of growing beans. We learned that if we helped pick the strawberries in the morning, we’d have them on our ice cream in the afternoon. We learned that some plants have funny names, like the elephant ear plant. We learned that you could make do with what you had. We learned that making things out of paper and cardboard was more fun than what came inside the packaging. We learned it was OK to get dirty, but Grandma would wash us up before Mom came.You once made models of everyone’s houses, which made me want to be an architect. Another time, you made quilts for all of the grandkids. I still use mine every night. The edgy had worn out. But you taught me how to fix it.I love and respect you. You are always patient, with a quiet determination.Grandma, thank you for everything you have taught me. I hope that I am able to pass on all these memories and skills to my children and grandchildren.Love alwaysKelly56.

Kelly wrote this letter mainly to _______.A. send her grandma best wishes for ChristmasB. show love and respect for her grandmaC. recall her happy life on the farmD. ask her grandma for helpBOn a February day during an unusually mild winter, I found myself missing the snowy beauty. Ienjoyed the feeling that comes from watching snow fall gently from heaven while I’m cozy inside with a good fire burning in the stove. But there were more serious concerns, like the lack if rainfall making our woods more accessible to summer forest fires. Local ski fields and hotels, all dependent on a snowy season, felt sorry for vacant lifts, empty restaurants and unused snowmobiles.Then I happened to see three little robin(知更鸟)fly into our yard. What were they doing here? West of us, in the Willannette Valley, wild flowers burst this time of year. But here in central Oregon, even if a groundhog(土拨鼠)had wanted to appear, it couldn’t have broken through the frozen earth. And yet, these robins had arrived.Their presence brought me a flow of happiness. It felt like a celebration as I dug into my leg of birdseed and spread a handful on the ground. Above me, the deep blue sky was cloudless, perfectly quiet but for some smoke fro m a neighbor’s chimney. The lively could made the air fresh and clean.My robin jumped lightly toward the seed. My soul jumped with them, feeling equally carefree. Caught up in the moment of spring fever, I checked out snowless flower beds. To my delight, I spotted a green branch sticking out through the brown soil.Despite the cold, It wasn’t ready to go back inside, Just a short meeting with those robins had renewed my spirit. The next day I would return to my outdoor work with a cheerful heart and a hopeful eye for these signs of spring.60. The author missed a snowy winter because snow could______.A. prevent forest firesB. boom his businessC. promise an early springD. bring him a good feeling61.

We can infer from the passage that the author______.A. would enjoy wild flowers the next dayB. though winter was already overC. longed for the coming of springD. loved robins the mostCCooking Kills Four Million People a YearPolluted airborne particle(大气悬浮颗粒)kill 7 million people a year, reports the World Health Organization.That news may not come as a surprise to anyone who has seen images of chimneys in Beijing, Delhi or Mexico. But those factories---or even the jammed roadways of modern cities---are not the biggest killer. Each year, some 4.3million people die earlier than they should because of polluted air inside their homes, says the WHO.What’s causing the air inside people’s homes to be so poisonous that it kills around 11, 000 people a day? S toves. “ Having an open fire in your kitchen is like burning 400 cigarettes an hour.” saysKirk Smith, a professor at the University of California Berkeley, whose research suggests that household air pollution from cooking killed between 3.5 million and 4million people in 2013.Not all stoves causes this kind of harm. The ones Smith’s talking about are those that the 3 billion people in the developing world use for heat and cooking, which burn solid fuels such as wood, coal, or crop waste instead of gas. The smoke from those fires produces harmful fine particles and carbon monoxide into homes. Poor ventilation then prevents that smoke from escaping, raising fine particle levels 100 times higher than the limits that the WHO considers acceptable. Breathing this air day in day out eventually causes lots of disease; more than a third of the 4.3million die of a smoke, while a quarter die of heart disease. And around one-third of annual lung disease deaths worldwide are due to waste from coal stoves.Exposure lends to be extremely harmful for the people who spend the most time around the fire—usually women and young children. In fact, the WHO reports that household air pollution almost doubles the risk for childhood lung disease.63. According to Kirk Smith’s r esearch, _______.A. factories are the biggest killer worldwide nowadaysB. burning 400 cigarettes an hour is extremely dangerousC. household air pollution from cooking is surprisingly harmfulD. some 4.3 million people die earlier each year than they should64. What should be the deadly killer in a household kitchens?A. Solid fuelsB. Goal stovesC. Pour gasD. Cooking smoke65. The underlined word “ventilation” in paragraph means______A. airingB. cookingC. burningD. cooling66. The author intent to tell people______A. how to avoid polluted air in their homesB. to stop cooking in the household kitchenC. to guard against household pollution from cookingD. how to prevent childhood lung diseases in householdDYour dilemma has two aspects: your employer demands loyalty, but you want to help another working woman. The question is whether you can act properly towards both. Your personal view about the unfair maternity policy makes it complicated. In the United States, paid maternity leave (带薪产假)is not an automatic benefit guaranteed by the government. Even unpaid leave is only permitted for a limited period with certain working hours.It’s understandable that you feel such divided loyalties, said Gretchen Zetoony, a license d clinical expert in Virginia. “On the other hand, you want to be careful not to provide information that might discomfort your employer in a negotiation; on the other hand, it’s natural to feel sympathetic toward someone in a similar situation. Particular ly if you see the company’s policy as unfair.” She said.Before you give advice on negotiating a better maternity-leave package, remember to be careful with what you say. “If you are nervous that your employer could learn you had advised her, that should be a guide for you that you may wander into a questionable area”. Zetoony said.What happens if your colleagues discover that this applicant benefits simply because of your advice. That may not be formal discrimination but it might creat a bad feeling among colleagueswho are not working mothers and who didn’t join your organization armed with insider tips.” In this case, the risk isn’t as much as about betraying your employer or your fellow women as possibly creating conflict in the workplace if colleagues notice that you helped an applicant gain an advantage because you share some personal characteristics.” Zetoony said. If that happens, and you find that your colleagues are whispering about you, or openly complaining, address the situation with a calm sit-down. Explain that you felt you had to help this woman pass her away through the organization’s human-resources maze, and that you would do the same for anyone who asked you for advice.There might be a better way to help women negotiate maternity leave than advising them, Consider getting together with colleagues who also care about this issue to advocate for bettering family leave policies within your organization, Zetoony suggests. The more employees who join you, the more likely management are to listen, It is also applicable in other components of an employment offer where you will face such a dilemma.67.

Local ski fields and hotels, all dependent on a snowy season, felt sorry fo vacant lifts, empty restaurants and unused snowmobiles. 知更鸟)fly into our yard. What were they doing here? West of Then I happened to see three little robin(us, in the Willamette V alley, wild flowers burst this time of year. But here in central Oregon, even if a groundhog(土拨鼠)had wanted to appear, it couldn’t have broken through the frozen earth. And yet, these robins had arrived. Their presence brought me a flow of happiness. It felt like a celebration as I dug into my leg of birdse and spread a handful on the ground. Above me, the deep blue sky was cloudless, perfectly quiet but for som smoke from a neighbour’s chimney. The lively could make the air fresh and clean. My robin jumped lightly toward the seed. My soul jumped with them, feeling equally carefree. Caught up in the moment of spring fever, I checked out snowless flower beds. To my delight, I spotted a green branch sticking out through the brown soil. Despite the cold, It wasn’t ready to go back inside, Just a short meeting with those robins had renewe my spirit.

That news may not come as a surprise to anyone who has seen images of chimneys in Beijing, Delhi Mexico. But those factories—or even the jammed roadways of modern cities—are not the biggest killer. Each year, some 4.3million people die earlier than they should because of polluted air inside their homes says the WHO. What’s causing the air inside people’s homes to be so poisonous that it kills around 11, 000 people a dayour kitchen is like burning 400 cigarettes an hour.” says Kirk Smith, a Stoves. “ Having an open fire in professor at the University of California Berkeley, whose research suggests that household air pollution from cooking killed between 3.5 million and 4million people in 2013. Not all stoves causes this kind of harm. The ones Smith’s talking about are those that the 3 billion people in the developing world use for heat and cooking, which burn solid fuels such as wood, coal, or cro people in the developing world use for heat and cooking, which burn solid fuels such as wood, coal, or cr waste instead of gas. The smoke from those fires produces harmful fine particles and carbon monoxide into homes. Poor ventilation then prevents that smoke from escaping, raising fine particle levels 100 times higher than the limits that the WHO considers acceptable. Breathing this air day in day out eventually causes lots of disease; more than a third of the 4.3milliolung disease deaths disease. And around one-third of annual die of a smoke, while a quarter die of heart worldwide are due to waste from coal stoves. —usually Exposure lends to be extremely harmful for the people who spend the most time around the firewomen and young children.

Your personal view about the unfair woman. The question is whether maternity policy makes it complicated. In the United States, paid maternity leave(带薪产假)is not an automatic benefit guaranteed by the government. Even unpaid leave is only permitted for a limited period with certain working hours. It’s understandable that you feel such divided loyalties, said Gretchen Zetoony, a licensed clinical expert in Virginia. “On the other hand, you want to be careful not to provide information that might discomfort your employer in a negotiation; on the other hand, it’s natural to feel sympathetic toward someone in a similar situation. Particularly if you see the company’s policy as unfair.” She said. Before you give advice on negotiating a better maternity-leave package, remember to be careful with what you say. “If you are nervous that your employer could learn you had advised her, that should be a gui for you that you may wander into a questionable area”. Zetoony said. What happens if your colleagues discover that this applicant benefits simply because of your advice. That may not be formal discrimination but it might creat a bad feeling among colleagues who are not working mothers and who didn’t join your organization armed with insider tips.” In this case, the risk isn’as much as about betraying your employer or your fellow women as possibly creating conflict in the workplace if colleagues notice that you helped an applicant gain an advantage because you share some If that happens, and you find that your colleagues are whispering personal characteristics.” Zetoony said. I f that happens,about you, or openly complaining, address the situation with a calm sit-down. Explain that you felt you ha-resources maze, and that you would do to help this woman pass her away through the organization’s humanthe same for anyone who asked you for advice. There might be a better way to help women negotiate maternity leave than advising them, Consider getting together with colleagues who also care about this issue to advocate for bettering family leave policies within your organization, Zetoony suggests. The more employees who join you, the more likely management are to listen, It is also applicable in other components of an employment offer where you wil face such a dilemma. 67. One may fall into a dilemma mainly because______ A. he thinks the maternity policy unfair B. his employer breaks the maternity policy C. the US government protects his employer D. his woman colleague asks for a paid leave 68. According to Zetoony, your nervousness might lead to _______ A. your employer’s forgivenessB. an even more embarrassing situation C. your employer’s sympathy D. an exposure to your characteristics 69. From the passage, in a similar dilemma, you’d better_______A. talk to your employer directly B. put forward more applicable solutions C. give your colleagues a helping hand sincerely D. gather more colleagues to work out better policies 70.

2014北京英语二模各区汇总--阅读C篇
2014北京中考二模各区县阅读理解C篇汇总DongchengAt the age of sixteen, I went on my first volunteer program in West Virginia to repair or build homes for poor families. When we arrived, we discovered that the family we were going to help was living in a trailer(拖车式活动房)that was in poor condition, no bigger than two parking spaces. A group of people had been working on it for two weeks, but every time they finished one problem, another appeared.We soon decided that the only way was to build a new house. It was something unusual because normally our goal was to repair old homes. The family was pleased with their new house that was 20 by 30 feet with three bedrooms, a bath and a kitchen.On Tu esday of that week, I asked the family’s three boys, Josh, Eric and Ryan, “What do you want for your new room?” Kids in the families we had helped usually wanted toys or posters, so we were surprised when Josh, the oldest boy said, “We just want beds.” T he boys had never slept in a bed. That night we had a meeting and decided that beds would be the perfect gift. On Thursday night, a few adults in our group drove to the nearest city and bought beds and new bedding.On Friday when we saw the truck coming, we told the family about the surprise. They were very excited.That afternoon, while we were setting up the beds, Eric ran into the house to watch us with wide eyes. As Maggie, a member of our group, put one of the pillows on the bed, Eric asked, “What is that?”“A pillow,” she replied.“What do you do with it?” Eric went on asking.“When you go to sleep, you put your head on it,” Maggie answered softly. Tears came to our eyes as she handed Eric the pillow.“Oh . . . that’s soft,” he said, holding it tightly.Now, when my sister or I start to ask for something that seems very urgent(急迫的), my dad always asks, “Do you have a pillow?” We know exactly what he means.53. Why did the writer’s group build a new h ouse for the family?A. Because it was their normal work.B. Because the family asked them to do it.C. Because the trailer could no longer be repaired.D. Because they thought it was a perfect gift for the family.54. What can we learn from the story?A. The family needed two parking spaces.B. The boys of the family wanted toys and posters.C. The family were excited about the beds and bedding.D. The writer’s group made some furniture for the family.55. What is the best title for this passage?A. The PillowB. A New HouseC. The FamilyD. An Interesting ProgramAACChangpingEvery day, it is easy to see advertisements in English all around us. Look at your own bags and clothes of your classmates. How many different advertisements can you see which use English words? Often, bags and clothes show the name of company that made them. This is a popular form. A special picture or symbol (标志) called a logo is sometimes used. Logos appear on many different products. They are popular because when you see a logo, it helps you to remember that product or company. It is common to see advertisements on TV and hear them on the radio. Most advertisements are very short. Sometimes the advertisers use a short sentence and it is easy for people to say. Nike, for example, has a simple English sentence which is used all around the world: “Just do it.” Advertisements oft en use funny situations as well. It is simple to remember it. All advertisements are designed to make people buy a product. An advertisement for a soft drink, for example, might show a group of young people who are having fun. The young people are all drinking the soft drink. Advertisements are saying to you, “Why d on’t you buy this drink and be like these people? You can be young and modern.” You might think that advertisements are not for you, but the next time you buy a soft drink, ask yourself this question: Why am I buying this particular product? (244)54. From the passage, we know that _______.A. all advertisements around us are written in EnglishB. many bags have the name of the company that made themC. having soft drinks makes a person young and modernD. advertisements are only for young people55. All advertisements are designed to _______.A. sell you something you don’t wantB. make you young and modernC. make you buy the productD. show you what you need to buy56. The best title of this passage is ______.A. advertisements all around usB. all kinds of advertisementsC. to make people buy a productD. advertisements often use funny situationsBCAMengtougouI’ve loved my mother’s desk since I was just tall e nough to sit above the top of it. Mother sat writing letters. Standing by her chair, looking at the ink bottle, pens, and white paper, I decided that the act of writing must be a most wonderful thing in the world.Years later, during her final illness, Mother kept different things for my sister and brother. “But the desk,” she said again, “ is for Elizabeth.”I never saw her angry, never saw her cry. I knew she loved me; she showed in action. But as a young girl,between us. I was “too emotional(易动感情的)”.But she lived “on the surface(表面)”.As years passed and 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 me.My hope turned to disappointment, 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.But the present of her desk told me, 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.

There are some things that you can do toget your kids to help you clean your house. If you are struggling with the chores (家务)and need your kids to help you, take a look at some of the creative ways in this article.list of chores that need to be done each week. If they complete these chores, you can give them some money. You can also break the list down and tell them they will get so much for each chore that is finished. Older kids, who like to do things on weekends or buy things like video games, will work hard to complete their chores and earn their money. This is also teaching them responsibility. This is teaching them that they must work for what they want.If you are dealing with younger kids, you may want to go with the rewards chart(奖励图表). This is where you design a chart and list their chores on the chart. For each chore they complete, you can put a red flower beside it. For the rewards, you can also do a number of things, such as going to the park, going out to eat, buying a DVD or something similar. The rewards would be up to you because you know what your kids like.For real small kids, you can turn it into a game. When kids were much younger, you can teach them to dance around and sing as you cleaned. The kids loved it and would do a wonderful job at picking up their toys.So, consider turning cleaning into a game for the real small kids.53.

Why can we put a red flower beside the chore on a chart?A. To know what your kids like.B. To know how many chores the kids have done.C. To encourage younger kids to do more chores.D.

The more chores kids do, the more they love their parents.D. Creative methods can be helpful for parents to get their kids to do houseworkDCDThe practice of students endlessly copying letters and sentences from a blackboard is a thing of the past. With the coming of new technologies like computers and smart phone, writing by hand has become something of old skill. However, while today’s educators are using more and more technology in their teaching, many believe handwriting skills are still necessary for students to be successful--both in school and in life.Virginia Berninger, professor of educational psychology(心理学) at the University of Washington, says it’s important to continue teaching handwriting and help children learn the skill of writing by hand.Berninger and her workmates carried out a study that looked at the ability of students to complete different writing tasks---both on a computer and by hand. The study, published in 2009, found that when writing with a pen and paper, people wrote longer articles and more complete sentences.In a more recent study, Berninger looked at what role spelling plays in a s tudent’s writing skills and found that how well children spell is tied to h ow well they can write. “Spelling makes some of the thinking parts of the brain active which helps us get our vocabulary, word meaning and ideas. It is allowing our written language to connect with ideas.” Berninger said.Spelling helps students translate ideas into words in their mind first and then to transcribe(转换) “those words in the mind into written symbols(标志) on paper or keyboard and scree n,” the study said. Seeing thenotice spelling mistakes when they write the words down and to correct them over time.“In our computer age, some people believe that we don’t have to teach spelling because we have spell checks,” she said. “But until a child has spelling ability of about a fifth grade level, they won’t have the knowledge to choose the correct spelling among the choices given by the co mputer.”53. Which of the following best shows the role of spelling?A. Spelling improves one’s memory of words.B. Spelling ability is closely tied to writing ability.C. Spelling benefits the translation from words into ideas.D. Spelling slows down finding exact words to express ideas.A. Window.B. Emotion.C. Picture.D. Imagination.55. What can we learn from the passage?A. Computers can help people with their choice of words.B. Spell checks can take the place of spelling teaching.C. Handwriting still has a place in today’s classrooms.D. Spelling ability develops fast in the fifth grade.BDCHave you ever had a science class that you look forward to? It doesn’t happen often. But when you have a teacher like Mrs. Rheineck, it’s more than a science class. It’s a science class where learning is easy and fun. There is no getting down to a huge textbook or listening to a teacher about something you don’t care about.My experience with Mrs. Rheineck didn’t start with science class, but with her as my tutor(导师,家庭教师). I was always a weak reader and wasn’t getting any better. My parents told me I needed to be tutored.One day after school, I went into the library with my mom for my first tutoring time. I had no idea who was tutoring me. My mom practically h ad to pull me into the library. The first thing we did was to play a game to get to know each other and get rid of the awkwardness (笨拙,尴尬). We didn’t even play a reading game.We also went around the library and I got to pick out a book I wanted to read. She didn’t make me read a boring textbook about something I didn’t care about. I didn’t even pick a book. I picked out a magazine about remote control cars. I thought to myself, how bad could it be? I got to read about remote control cars. She told me even though I was reading a magazine, I was still reading. After the first magazine, she picked out a book she liked. I would read a chapter(章) and then she would read a chapter to me, this way I didn’t have to read for long periods of time.As I got better and faster at reading, I was able to read two chapters in the same amount of time, which used to take me to read one chapter.Reading is one of the most important things in high school and college to be successful. If it wasn’t for her,I would not be the reader I am today and I thank her for that.53. Why was the writer tutored by Mrs. Rheineck?A. Because the writer was too shy to talk with others.B. Because the writer found science easy and fun.C. Because the writer liked her science class.D. Because the writer couldn’t read books quickly.54. It can be inferred from the third paragraph that __________.A. the writer went to the library to play a gameB. the writer was unhappy to be tutoredC. the writer knew Mrs. Rheineck very wellD. the writer was awkward to read in the library55. At the library, the writer __________.A. chose any book he was interested inB. played a reading game with Mrs. RheineckC. was asked to read one chapter after anotherD. had to read textbooks rather than magazinesDBAShunyiAre you carrying too much on your back at school? I’m sure lots of children of your age will say “yes”. Not only the students in China have this problem, but children in the United States also have heavy school bags. Doctors are starting to worry that younger and younger students are having back and neck problems as a result of school bags being too heavy for them.“It’s hard for me to go upstairs with my bag because it’s so heavy,’ said Rick Hammond, an 11-year-old student in the US.Rick is among students who have common school bags with two straps to carry them, but many other students choose rolling bags.But even with rolling bags, getting up stairs and buses is still a problem for children. Many of them have hurt their backs and necks because of the heavy school bags.But how much is too much? Doctors say students should carry no more than 10% to 15% of their own body weight.Scott Butch, a back doctor, said children under Grade 4 should stay with 10%, but it is also important that older children don’t stay with over 15%, because their bodies are still growing. “Children are losing their balance and falling down with their school bags,:”he said.Parents and teachers are starting to tell children to only take home library books they will be reading that night. Some teachers are using pieces of paper or thin work books for students to take home.One of the best answers is, as some children said, to have no homework at all!53. From the passage we can know that__________.A. only children in China carry too heavy school bagsB. only children in the US carry too heavy school bagsC. children in other countries don’t carry too heavy bagsD. both children in China and the US carry too heavy school bags54. If a child carries a heavy school bag, his___________ will be hurt.A. handsB. feetC. back and neckD. head and arms55. According to the doctor, Scott Butch, if a child in Grade 5 weighs about30 kilos, the school bag he carriesshould not be over________ kilosA. 3B. 4.5C.5D. 5.5DCB。
