【西城二模】四､阅读短文，根据短文内容回答问题｡(共10分，每小题2分)Mom's Recipe for LifeI have a lot of Mom's recipes in a blue box where all my special ones were put，like the pumpkin pie she made during my growing up years. Even so，the recipe I treasure most is not on any index card，nor did she send it to me in a letter. Instead，she lived this recipe all of her life.My mother grew up in a small coal mining town in southwest Iowa. My grandfather once told me that she knew no stranger;she considered everyone in that community her friend. That attitude continued wherever she lived for the rest of her life.As a teen，I was embarrassed(尴尬的)every time my mother talked to strangers and offered a smile to everyone in the store or on the city bus. Almost all of them responded(回应)with a bright smile of their own. Some spoke，others nodded their heads at this elderly woman who brought a little light into their day.What really sold me on Mom's approach to life was her experience on the senior bus. The weeks I could not be there，，I asked her how it went.“ Ha!”she said，“ I got on that bus and what did I see?Thirteen little old ladies and one old man，and not one word was spoken.”I wondered how long it would be until the silence on that bus would change. On my next visit，Mom mentioned the 13 little old ladies on the bus and something one of them had told her.“ Oh，are you talking with them now?”I asked.“ Of course，”she said. “ One day I climbed up the steps of the bus and before I looked for a seat，I gave them a big smile and I said，‘ Isn't it a wonderful day?I noticed a few shy smiles.”Mom didn't give up. She greeted them all each time she got on the bus and before long，the whole group was laughing and talking to one another. The bus became more than just transportation.When we went to the various stores，I watched as she smiled and chatted with perfect strangers. Some of them looked like the poorest person you'd ever met，but once Mom smiled at them and started a conversation，most responded favorably. My mother didn't embarrass me any longer. I found myself admiring her.She's been gone for ten years but I've carried on her recipe for life. It was me who had done the smiling first and all those people had responded. My mother didn't lecture but taught me by example. She'd given me a recipe for life.34. Where did the writer's mom grow up?35. Did the people talk on the bus on Mom's first trip?36. What did Mom do to make the bus more than transportation?37. How did the writer feel about Mom in the end?38. What is Mom's recipe for life?34. In a small coal mining town in southwest Iowa.35. No，they didn't.36. She greeted them all each time she got on the bus.37. Proud.38. The attitude of considering everyone her friend.【东城二模】四、阅读短文，根据短文内容回答问题。

北京市八区2018届初三二模英语分类汇编——C篇
【西城二模】CAfter the holiday season，our guess is that you are tired from visiting the store and buying gifts.It is easy to get stuck，both spiritually and physically by having too much. This is why minimalism and living simply should be your resolution for 2018.Economic development results in a lot of consumerism(消费):get a good job，get a nice car，and settle into a beautiful house. But some people say that our lives could use a little lightening thesedays:We work and work and work to only buy and buy and buy—but does all that material wealth really lead to our happiness?Are we filling our time with unnecessary things，when we should be filling our time with friends，value，and service?An article from the website，Becoming Minimalist，points out the problem with this cycle(循环)in the best way，“ Nobody really believes happiness is directly tied to the number of things we own.Yet almost all of us live like it. We get stuck in it. We work more hours than ever before，earn moreincome，but save less.”Minimalism isn't all about ridding(摆脱)consumerism and products from your life. Minimalismis about finding your own sense of self and focusing on the things you love. It is about creating a lifestyle that is focused on only those people and things that enrich you.These days，minimalistic living can come in many forms. We think the most practical form of minimalistic living for us is to follow our list:How You Can Live Lighter in 2018.Purge Your Closet:Take a day and clear out all of your drawers and closets. If somethingdoesn't have special meaning or adds no value to your life—give it away. Have only what you need and what you can see.Test Those Limits:See how long you can go without shopping. Give yourself a limit，whether it be two weeks or six months，whether it be avoiding a certain mall or buying clothes. Then put your self will to the test. After your allowed time，chances are you will realize all those extra blouses weren't worth it and you will set yourself up for future spending control.Cut the Cord:This sometimes means giving up your modern technology:TV，cell phone，computer，etc. Limit yourself to only a few hours of TV per week，or only 30 minutes of social media per day. You'll make more time for the things and people that you love and clear outsome unnecessary noise from your life.Live to Your Goals:Find out what your life goals and values are. Then，see what may help you or stop you from achieving this goal. Cut out that which doesn't lead to your happiness and success and add more of what does.Remember，a pared down lifestyle doesn't mean less success or less happiness. It representsyour freedom to focus on the things in life that really matter.27. The cycle “ people work and work only to buy and buy” shows .A. people get stuck physically and spirituallyB. people don't believe wealth leads to happinessC. people don't want to save moreD. people fall in love with buying28. To practise minimalistic living，you should .A. give away your drawers and closetsB. go to the shopping mall every six monthsC. have 30 minutes of social media per dayD. discover your life goals and values29. The words “ pared down”in the last paragraph probably mean “” .A. freeB. lightC. popularD. convenient30. Which of the following best explains the writer's opinion?A. It might take you a long time to wait for the “ right”thing.B. Clear out the unnecessary so that the necessary may speak.C. Change yourself with the development of society.D. Freedom is more important than success.27. A 28. D 29. B 30. B【东城二模】CDo You Believe You Can Improve?There5s a high school in Chicago with an unusual grading system. If students don’t pass a test, they get a different kind of grade “Not Yet” instead of “Failed”. In her TED presentation The Power of Believing You Can Improve, Carol Dweck, a psychologist(心理学家），explains the power of “Not Yet”：If you get a failing grade，you think you’re nothing. But if you get the grade “Not Yet”，you understand that you’re on the way to the future.In one study led by Dweck, she wanted to see how children dealt with challenges and difficulties. She gave l0-year-old children problems that werea bit too hard for them. “Some of them behaved in a surprisingly positive way，’’ex plained Dweck. “They said things like ‘1 love a challenge" or ‘1 think I’velearned something from this. These children had a “growth mindset”. They understood that their abilities could be developed. They didn’t run from error(失误）；they learned from it.But other children felt it was terrible to make an error. They felt their intelligence(才智）had been used up. These children had a “fixed mindset”.They didn’t believe they could do anything to improve the situation. In thefollow-up studies, Dweck learned these children were more likely to cheat.They looked for someone who did worse than they did so they could feel better about themselves. The children with a fixed mindset were operating from the “Now”，however, the children with a growth mindset were operating from the “Not Yet”.We all have things we want to improve. The problem, however, is few ofus believe we can. We believe we’re not smart, or we don’t have enough time.We believe we can’t persist (坚持）in the face of difficulties or learn fromcriticism(批评）.It’s a result of a fixed mindset. But the wonderful reality is wecan move from a fixed mindset to a growth mindset once we know how.First, believe you can change, now. Not tomorrow, next week, nextmonth, or next year, but now.Next, for every negative(负面的）thought, write down a positive answer.So when your self-talk says，“I tried running before and gave up after a week. ”，you can reply, “That’s because I didn’t have a carefully designed plan. Now Ihave one and I’m going to stick to it. ’’Developing a growth mindset takes time and effort, but over time, with enoughpractice, you’ll operate less from the “Now” and more from the “Not Yet”.27. Why does the school in Chicago use “Not Yet” instead of “Failed” to gradestudents?A. To keep students from losing confidence.B. To help students realize their weak points.C. To advise students to take the test a second time.D. To make students understand their future is uncertain.28. Which of the following statements shows that the person has a “growthminds et”？A. “I failed in the task. I was nothing. ’’B. “I can’t stick to taking exercise. I’m too busy. ”C. “I know math is interesting but I am not smart for it. ”D. “I didn’t win the competition but I learned a lot from it. ”29. What can we learn from the passage?A. Most people believe they can improve themselves.B. Dweck did the study to help children get better grades.C. Some children cheated in the study and were punished.D. People can follow some ways to develop a growth mindset.27. A28.D29.D30. B【海淀二模】CLyme Disease —A Medical MysteryIn the autumn of 1975, lots of people in Lyme, Connecticut, suffered from a strange illness. Two doctors from Yale, Allan Steere and Stephen Malawista, began a study that would result in an important medical discovery.The doctors began by having careful examinations of each patient. They found the patients of all ages were having a set of things hardly seen together, such as headaches, skin rashes (皮疹), swollen knees, fever, tiredness and so on. There was also a high rate of arthritis (关节炎), a painful condition around the knees. No reasons could be found through blood tests. However, they found the most useful information in the interviews with the patients: one quarter of them recalled a skin rash about four weeks before the arthritis appeared.Then the Department of Health did surveys with the Yale doctors to learn where the disease was most widely seen. It seemed that most patients lived in heavily wooded areas, away from the center of town. Besides, most patients spent a good deal of time outdoors, gardening, camping, or playing. More importantly, some recalled having been bitten by a tick.By 1977, researchers began to believe that the deer tick was responsible. Then they discovered that a special type of bacteria (细菌), carried by the deer tick, was causing the disease. It was later named Lyme bacteria. The deer tick often feeds on deer. But we can also find it on mice. Scientists then concluded that the bacteria passed from wildlife to ticks to humans. All lived closely among one another in the area.How could a disease break out so suddenly? Many areas of the northeast, including Lyme, Connecticut, were once farmland. Over the years, the farmland was replanted with trees. After the forest grew in, all kinds of wildlife appeared. At the same time, this area was developed with houses. Gradually, neighborhoods pushed deeper into the home of the wildlife. Humans became more likely to meet more ticks and get the disease.After much research, the cause of Lyme disease was successfully identified (确认), thanks to the hard work of many scientists, doctors and patients. Today, more and more people have knowledge of Lyme disease, which is easily treated if caught early.27. Which helped Dr. Steere and Dr. Malawista most?A. Having interviews with the patients.B. Examining the patients carefully.C. Separating the patients into age groups.D. Doing blood tests among the patients.28. Which of the following is true about Lyme disease?A.Little is known about Lyme disease today.B.Most of the patients lived in the center of town.C.More trees could keep people away from the disease.D.Wildlife spread the bacteria to ticks and then to humans.29. What is the writer’s main purpose in writing this passage?A. To describe how Lyme disease was treated.B. To warn people not to go outdoors in the forest.C. To introduce how the cause of Lyme disease was found.D. To criticize the people who spread Lyme disease around.27. A 28. D 29. C【朝阳二模】CIt turns out that a scientist can see the future by watchingfour-year-olds with a sweet. The researcher invites the children into asimple room. “You can have this sweet right now,”he says. “But if youwait while I go out for a few minutes, you can have two sweets when I get back.” And then he leaves.Some children eat the sweet the moment he’s out the door. Some last a few minutes before they give in. But others make up their mind to wait. They cover their eyes, they put their heads down, they sing to themselves, they try to play games or even fall asleep. When the researcher returns, he gives these children their sweets. And then, science waits for them to grow up.By the time the children reach high school, something unusual has happened. A survey of the children’s parents and teachers found that those who as four-year-olds were strong-minded enough to hold out for the second sweet generally grew up to be more popular, adventurous, confident and dependable teenagers. The children who gave in to temptation(诱惑) early on were more likely to be lonely and easily upset.When we think of excellence, we see Einstein—deep-eyed, woolly-haired, a thinking machine. High achievers, we imagine, were born for greatness. But then you have to wonder why, over time, natural talent seems to flower in some, yet disappear in others. This is where the sweets come in. The ability to put off the pleasure of meeting needs is a master skill, a victory of the reasoning brain over the impulsive (冲动的) one. It is a sign, in short, of emotional intelligence. And it doesn’t show up on an IQ test.In his book Emotional Intelligence, Daniel Goleman argues that brain power as measured by IQ actually matters less than qualities of mind like understanding one’s own feelings, empathy（同情）—being sensitive to other people’s feeling—and the ability to manage your own emotions. EQ is not the opposite of IQ. What researchers are trying to understand is how they work to improve each other. Among the ingredients (因素) for success, researchers now generally agree that IQ counts for about 20%: the rest depends on everything from luck, to social class… and emotional intelligence. In the business world, according to personal executives (主管), IQ gets you a job, but EQ gets you a higher position.27. Some children get two sweets in the research because they ______.A. have a strong mindB. like eating sweetsC. play games togetherD. sing to themselves28. Which of the following doesn’t belong to EQ according to the passage?A. Being able to get a job.B. Understanding one’s own feelings.C. Being able to control one’s emotions.D. Understanding the feelings of others.29. What’s the writer’s main purpose in writing this passage?A. To introduce the book called Emotional Intelligence.B. To explain the importance of emotional intelligence.C. To share some ways of developing emotional intelligence.D. To share some examples of improving emotional intelligence.(C) 27. A 28. A 29. B【丰台二模】CLearning vocabulary doesn’t have to be borin gMany students have problems with vocabulary when preparingfor tests like the SATs. Last week, TEENS offered advice onhow to memorize new words. If you’re now familiar with thosemethods, why not try moving on to the next stage by usingthe following tips to build up your English vocabulary.Repeated encounters (反复遇见)The usual way of “mem orizing” new material is through repeating it while it’s still in your mind. However, simply repeating a word seems to have little long-term effect.But one kind of repetition is effective: repetition of encounters with a word. Words stand a good chance of being remembered if they’ve been met at least seven times in your reading, at intervals (相隔一段时间). So, read English magazines, newspapers, and websites regularly.Spacing and reviewIt’s better to distribute (分配) memory work over a period of time rather than do it in a single session (一段时间). This is known as the “principle of distributedpractice”, where new vocabulary introduced in one lesson is reviewed in the next, and then in later lessons.Use it or lose itPutting words to use in interesting ways helps add them to your long-termmemory. In a study of vocabulary learning, students who made up their own sentenceswith new words and read them aloud remembered them better than those who learnedthe words separately and silently. Best of all, students were given the task of silentlyimagining a picture in their minds to go with a new word. So it might help if learnerslink words with a mental image.Mix it upLet’s face it —learning words can be really boring, but it doesn’t have to be.Thanks to the Internet, there are more interesting ways to get the job done. Trywatching videos from English-speaking social media celebrities and copying the waythey speak. You could even upload your own videos and try becoming a staryourself.27. According to the passage, a good way of memorizing new words isA. simply repeating themB. learning the words silentlyC. reviewing them in one lessonD. reading English magazines regularly28. To make learning words more interesting, we can.A. try to become a famous starB. read new words on websitesC. make and upload our own English videosD. draw a picture on the paper with a new word29. What does the passage mainly talk about?A. Where to use new words.B. How to memorize new words.C. When to learn new words.D. What to write with new words.27. D 28. C 29. B【石景山二模】C“Text Neck is not just a texting problem,” said Dr. Dean Fishman. “Text Neck is a gaming problem. Text Neck is an e-mailing problem.”Fishman made up the term “Text Neck ” in 2008 whileexamining a 17-year-old patient. The teen came in complaining ofneck pain. Fishman noticed that the teen was sitting in a chair,bending (弯曲) over her smartphone, texting away. “I knew I had something,” Fishman said.A recent study published in Surgical Technology International ’s 25th edition says texting may be hurting your back. The study found that bending your head to look at your mobile phone held in your hands can put up to 60 pounds of pressure (压力) on your neck. The average human head weighs 10 pounds in a right position – when your ears are over your shoulders. For every inch you bend your head forward, the pressure on your back doubles.Staying in the “forward head posture ” can lead to many problems. Over time, it can even change the natural curve (曲线) of your neck.Dr. Michelle Collie, director of Performance Physical Therapy in Rhode Island, recently says Text Neck has increased very quickly, especially among her younger patients. According to the Kaiser Family Foundation, 8- to 18-year-olds spend almost seven and a half hours using mobile device or desktop computer for fun every day.So what’s a smartphone-texting, laptop-loving guy to do?First, Collie said, is to pay attention to your body. Keep your feet flat on the floor, roll your shoulders back and keep your ears directly over them so your head isn’t bent forward. And use something to support the weight of a mobile device.Fishman’s Text Neck Institute created a mobile app to help you remember to avoid forward head posture. When your phone is held at a safe point, a green light shines. When you’re at risk for Text Neck, a red light appears.Most important is taking breaks from time to time while using any mobile device or desktop computer. About every 20 minutes, stand up, roll your shoulders and neck or go for a short walk to have a break.27. What might Fishman mean by saying “I knew I had something”?A. He had the same smartphone as the patient.B. He got a new name for the patient’s pain.C. He wanted to play a joke on the patient.D. He had the same idea with the patient.28. According to the passage, your head is in the right position when ______.A. you bend over your neck oftenB. your ears are over your shouldersC. you turn your neck to the other sideD. you put up more pressure on your neck29. The last three paragraphs are mainly talking about ______.A. how to make Text Neck appsB. what causes Text NeckC. how to avoid Text NeckD. the results of Text Neck27. B 28. B 29. C【昌平二模】CHavefunandgetsmarter?W e all know about the pleasure and fun that we get from playing video games. There’s the satisfaction of finally reaching the last level of a game after months of trying. Some experts now say that as well as offering pleasure, video games might also be good for you.T oo good to be true?It seems that when you play video games, you might get some very important skills. They are great for your concentration (集中注意力). Being able to focus is a skill you can use at school or later, in a job. Fitness (健身) games, which are very popular, allow you to practise sports skills like balancing. A lot ofgames also teach decision-making skills. For example when you have to choose the best way to escape from a burning building in a game, you’re learning how to solve problems and make your decision quickly. Gaming teaches you about success and failure too. A lot of games are difficult, and you have to work hard to reach the top level, which teaches you that in life you can succeed if you keep on trying. On the other hand, games teach you that if you fail, don’t give up – have a break, and then try again.Some psychologists (心理学家) believe that role-playing games are particularly valuable. In thevirtual environment, young people can take on roles which are often not possible for them in real life. Y ou can become a leader, and have to deal with people who lie to you, or hide things from you. By dealing with these situations, you can develop socialskills that might help you in the real world when you’re older.Gaming does have its disadvantages, of course.

For example, when writing book reports and storing, I use Microsoft Word instead of a pen and paper. That way, after my teacher edits(编辑) my work, I can go back and make revisions without having to rewrite the whole thing. And Microsoft Word has a spell check! I use it all the time.For English class, we’re reading The Outsiders, by S. E. Hinton. As a pre-reading task, my teacher asked us to research teenage groups on the Internet. I tried Google, Encarta, and Yahoo first, and finally found an article on Time. com.For a geography task on the United States, I used Encarta to learn about the Mississippi River. I needed to find out how deep the river is, how its widths and depths are different, what states it runs through, and what kind of fish live in it. I usedthe information to show how the geography of a country influences its economy (经济). For example, the river’s trade paths, the number of fish caught in it, and the tourists it attracts directly influence Southerners’ jobs and incomes (收入).I never go to the library to do research. It takes too much time. Since I live in New York City and both my parents work, getting to the library isn’t always easy. For a big assignment or research project, I used to stay at the library to read, or sign out whatever books or magazines I needed. Now being able to find the information in my own living room makes everything a lot simpler. Online dictionaries and encyclopedias (百科全书) also save time.Sometimes, I think the computer spoils young people because i t’s so easy —at least physically. But computers are not like television, which does the thinking for you. You still have to use your mind. I prefer using a computer. Easy, fun, and fast.27. When writing book reports, the computer can help the writer _____.A. call his teacher to edit his work.B. go back home and review his workC. rewrite his work and correct his mistakesD. store his work and check his spelling mistakes28. The writer probably agrees that______.A. a teacher’s work is much easier than beforeB. English and geography are the most important subjectsC. computers are better than TV for not doing the thinking for usD. students should use computer less and do more exercise every day29. What’s the passage mainly about?A.Teenagers and computers.B.School subjects and computers.e of computers in teenagers’ studies.D.The advantages and disadvantages of computers.27.D 28.C 29.C。

Even so，the recipe I treasure most is not on anyindex card，nor did she send it to me in a letter. Instead，she lived this recipe all of her life.My mother grew up in a small coal mining town in southwest Iowa. My grandfather once told methat she knew no stranger;she considered everyone in that community her friend. That attitudecontinued wherever she lived for the rest of her life.As a teen，I was embarrassed(尴尬的)every time my mother talked to strangers and offered asmile to everyone in the store or on the city bus. Almost all of them responded(回应)with a brightsmile of their own. Some spoke，others nodded their heads at this elderly woman who brought a littlelight into their day.What really sold me on Mom's approach to life was her experience on the senior bus. The weeksI could not be there，，I asked her how it went.，“ I got on that bus and what did I see?Thirteen little old ladies and one old “ Ha!”she saidman，and not one word was spoken.”I wondered how long it would be until the silence on that bus would change. On my next visit，Mom mentioned the 13 little old ladies on the bus and something one of them had told her.“ Oh，are you talking with them now?”I asked.day I climbed up the steps of the bus and before I looked for a “ Of course，”she said. “ Oneseat，I gave them a big smile and I said，‘ Isn't it a wonderful day?I noticed a few shy smiles.”Mom didn't give up. She greeted them all each time she got on the bus and before long，thewhole group was laughing and talking to one another. The bus became more than just transportation.When we went to the various stores，I watched as she smiled and chatted with perfect strangers.Some of them looked like the poorest person you'd ever met，but once Mom smiled at them andstarted a conversation，most responded favorably. My mother didn't embarrass me any longer. I foundmyself admiring her.She's been gone for ten years but I've carried on her recipe for life.

【西城二模】DA research study has looked into what happens inside your brain while you read and listen to music.You know that thrill(兴奋)you get when listening to your favorite music?That exciting feeling when you hear your favorite songs?According to a recent study，it seems the same thing can happenwhile you are reading，but not with every kind of text. This opens up interesting questions around how music，reading and emotions are connected in the brain.The study“ We decided we would do a comparison bet ween four or five different kinds of texts to see howthe brain reacted，”explains Adam Zeman，a scientist. “ The participants (参与者)lay in an MRIscanner reading the texts，and then we compared brain activity for those five texts.”The texts ranged(涉及)from deadly boring ones to highly exciting ones，including the Highway Code，parts from novels，and poems.So what happened in the participants brains while they were reading?Emotional reactionAs the researchers observed，participants found some texts more emotional than others. When reading these emotional texts，there was higher activity in brain areas related to pleasure and reward—the same areas related to the thrill we get when we listen to music. As Zeman says，“ it perfectly shows that the emotional reaction to literature(文学)and to music has quite a bit in common. So it doesn't seem to matter whether you are listening or reading if you get a thrill. That wasone quite strong finding.”Introspection(内省)There were more interesting findings. Reading poetry is often considered an activity that requires us to use the brain，but did the study find any truth of this?When the participants were reading poems，the team found there was more activity in a particular group of brain areas called theDefault Network. “ These areas seem to be related to things we do with our minds when we are resting，like thinking about what's happened to us recently，thinking about what's going to happen inthe near future，about other people，and that network seems to be more strongly related to poetry than with other texts，”explains Zeman. This connection between poetry and introspection could bethe subject of further research.ConclusionsThe study shows that the different texts activate different areas of our brains when we read. Zeman says，“ the study did support what we thought:reaction to literature was going to be a bit likethe one to music in terms of emotion. We felt that we ended up with a great deal of unansweredquestions which we hope somebody will continue to ask.”31. What did the research try to find out?A. How music helps us read different kinds of texts.B. What kind of texts most people like while listening to music.C. Why reading different texts causes different reactions in emotion.D. Whether reading can cause similar emotional reaction like music does.32. What did the participants do in the study?A. They listened to music.B. They read different texts.C. They answered many questions.D. They compared brain activities.33. What can we learn from the study?A. The emotional texts work better for the research.B. Poetry reading can activate the Default Network.C. Music helps to bring pleasure and reward.D. People think about the past when resting.31. D 32. B 33. B【东城二模】DIn July 2017, families in Marion County，Florida, got surprising newsabout the coming school year；Traditional homework will disappear, at least forprimary students.Last year，Dara, a fifth grader, had two or three hours of homework anight. “I had 12 math que stions and six or seven pages of work to do forreading，” she said. Now Dara’s new homework is only to read for 30 minutes.She enjoys having more time for activities like painting and playing video games.But her mom misses last year’s assignments. “The k ids knew that once theyfinished those worksheets, they were done，” she says. “Sometimes，gettingDara to sit down and read for 30 minutes is a challenge. ”Around the country，primary schools are experimenting with a no-homework policy(政策）.School leaders say the new policy is based on research. Studies have shown that homework does not improve grades or test scores in primary schools. Paula Fass is the author of The End of American Childhood. She says，“There’s been controversy over homework ever since schooling became a requirement. ?? Support for homework has gone up and down through the years. More than a century later, many still question the role that homework should have in kids’ lives.Harris Cooper, a professor, has studied more than 50 researches onhomework. In his view, homework has a positive effect on achievement. Theeffect gets larger as kids move through the grades. But even in the early grades，homework has a positive effect on simple skills. Examples include spelling andmath facts. But he warns that homework can have a negative effect as well. “Ifthere’s too much of it or if it’s too difficult, it can lead to frustration，” he says.“And that’s not a good thing. ’’Last year, Kelly Primary School in Holyoke, Massachusetts, eliminated(取消）homework. But this year，students in kindergarten through eighth grade havehomework once again. But they receive only one assignment per day. Theheadmaster explained that the school took a balanced way. “We want to buildresponsibility and structure，” she says. “But we don’t want to take away theimportant time that children have with their families or practising sports.??Kelly Primary School won’t be the only school to experiment with theno-homework policy. “One thing you can k now is that this is part of a longhistory of fight over homework，” says Fass. “And that can be expected tocontinue. ??30. What can we learn from the second paragraph?A. Dara enjoys reading for 30 minutes every day.B. Dara’s mother prefers the traditio nal homework.C. Dara complained she had too much homework last year.D. Dara’s mother is happy that Dara has more time for free activities.31. What does the word “controversy” in Paragraph 3 probably mean?A. Doubt.B. Challenge.C. Argument.D. Agreement.32. Harris Cooper may agree .A. schools should eliminate homeworkB. higher graders should have more homeworkC. homework can help lower graders with simple skillsD. homework has no effect on test scores in primary schools33. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?A.Homework；Is It Necessary to Eliminate It?B. Homework；Its History and Great ChangesC.

A【海淀二模】DFor as long as I can remember, I‟ve always looked up to my elder brother. No matter how old I am, I‟ve always seen myself copying every small thing that he does.I play the video games that he plays, I copy his hairstyle, and I eat the type of food that he eats.My brother is like a superhero in my eyes. He was a straight A student at high school as well as the captain of the school soccer team. It‟s been difficult trying to live up to the expectations that were set by my brother, but whether consciously (有意识地) or not, I‟ll always try to be like him. He motivates (激发) me like a rabbit motivates a wo lf. The wolf‟s goal is food, while mine is to be as outstanding as my brother.Younger brothers can influence the behavior of elder siblings (brothers and sisters) just as much as an elder brother can influence a younger sibling. I had a conversation with my brother about his experience growing up with me. He joked with me that it felt like the world punished him with having to deal with me. Yet he expressed that hewas grateful to me, because he understood I would take inspiration from him so he chose to be his best self. My brother and I have inspired each other to do the best we can.A researcher Birg Rabe has found a correlation (相关性) between a siblingrelationship where younger siblings‟ marks have improved because they havean elder sibling as their role model. “The younger siblings‟ marks rose by 4%.The effect was greater among siblings from poorer families, and the rise was 11%.” Having a sibling undoubtedly benefits children‟s school achievement.Not only can siblings influence each other‟s study, but they can positively benefit each other‟s social behavior as well.A study done by researchers in the Brigham Young University shows that children with sound or pleasant sibling relationships have learned important social skills, such as helping and being able to share with others. They‟ve also learned to deal with arguments and how to solve them.I bet anyone who has a sibling knows the struggle of having to argue for days with their sibling, but I also bet, that they learn important lessons from every one of their arguments.Even though you may hear many bad things about having a sibling, it actually has some unexpected benefits. Learn to enjoy all the benefits a sibling brings you, and be the best sibling you can.30. The writer always copies his elder brother because ______.A. he looks up to his brotherB. he wants to influence his brotherC. his brother is strict with himD. his brother plays video games well31. Birg Rabe finds having elder siblings as role models helps younger ones ______.A. make progress in their school achievementB. become more successful when they grow upC. get better marks than their brothers and sistersD. learn more important social skills than their friends32. The word “sound” in Paragraph 5 probably mean s “______”.A. specialB. lastingC. seriousD. healthy33. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?A. The New Hope that Siblings GiveB. The Great Benefits that Siblings BringC. The Necessary Support that Siblings OfferD. The Enjoyable Experiences that Siblings Share30. A 31. A 32. D 33. B【朝阳二模】DEvery time people make a new acquaintance (泛泛之交), be it at a job interview, in primary school, parents’ night, or at dinner with a friend’s family, first impressions (印象) decide whetherpeople consider each other likeable.“More than half of a first impression is affected (影响) by appearance—clothes, makeup, body language, gestures, and facial expressions,” said Mahena Stief, a business psychologist. But, it often makes a difference who the other person is. “I’m certain that when men judge women, appearance plays a greater role than when women judge other women,”said Lydia Maier, chairman of an association of color and style advisor.With the help of a mirror, a good female friend and a good male friend, on e’s own appearance can be completely valued. Some important questions are: What effect do I have on you? Why is that so? Do I want to have that effect or something completely different?The first place to look is in the closet (衣橱). “Good clothes are not contingent upon how much was spent on them. What’s important is that the clothes are clean, fit well, and match the personality of the person wearing them,”said Maier. Depending on the occasion, choose a timeless, careful, or stylish set of clothes for an introduction.“Generally speaking, the importance of fashion has increased in recent years,” said Professor Gerhard Amendt, director of an institute at the University of Bremen. He sees a danger, however, that the personality of a person could be lost behind a fashionable appearance.Well-being and inner balance are shown in body language such as good behaviors, open expressions, smooth movements, and help to cause a positive appearance. People who are comfortable with themselves appear balanced to others. “You can do a lot for your own well-being,”said Stief. “It begins with clearing away major dissatisfactory things in your life.”Relaxation exercises, yoga or weight training help the progress of balance. Exercising also helps people look healthy and energetic.Expressive body language and gestures, appealing facial expressions, and communication skills can be learned by attending management meetings or adult education courses. No one becomes a perfect talk master through these means, but they help people recognize how others interpret their outward behaviors. “A considerable part in appearance is self-confidence,”said Amendt. “Only those people who are sure of themselves, who know their own strengths, and feel certain of them come across as self-confident and convincing (使人信服的).”30. What does Mahena Stief think of first impressions?A. Friendship is built on the first impression.B. Women consider appearance more important.C. Appearance affects the first impression greatly.D. Appearance plays a great role in making decisions.31. The words “contingent upon” in Para graph 4 probably mean “______”.A. different fromB. filled withC. responsible forD. dependent on32. What can we learn from the passage?A. People seldom judge each other by appearance.B. Appearance needs to go with the personalities.C. Exercising helps people build self-confidence.D. Confident people care little about appearance.33. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?A. Inner Balance WorksB. First Impressions CountC. Confident Behaviors HelpD. Fashionable Appearances Matter(D) 30. C 31. D 32. B 33. B【丰台二模】DClara sits at her desk deep in thought. She stares at themath problem in front of her desperatelytrying to remember how to solve it, but as she sits there herlong list of homework plays over in her head, and shebecomes overwhelmed. She bites her lip thinking and thinking.Then she hears a song on the radio. As she turns up the music,awave of calm spreads over her body, she closes her eyes and listens to the music. When the song ends, Clara‟s eyes open and she turns off the radio. She looks again at the troublesome question and sighs, “I remember how to do this now,” she says to herself. Then she finishes the problem, but this time calmer than before.According to NPR news, 45% of teens say they are stressed by school pressures, such as homework and grades. High school, and all of the honors and AP courses, can stress out teens like Clara to the point of exhaustion, but it doesn‟t have to be this way. Lots of students can use stress relievers to simmer down during their school day. Music can be one of those reliefs.When the body is stressed, it releases cortisol (释放皮质醇), a life sustaining adrenal hormone (肾上腺荷尔蒙) nicknamed “th e stress horm one”. By playing music, students stop the flow (流动) of cortisol released from their body, therefore returning to their normal, non-stressed self quicker than someone who didn‟t hear or play any music. When returning to this state, teens can think more clearly, with their stress gone.Music does not only calm the stressed mind, it develops creativity, as well as improving math and reading skills. A music class can help students who are stressed and give them an hour of relaxation during their day. This can help high schoolers have a clear mind to concentrate on their schoolwork. Adding music to a teen‟s day can help them become less stressed and finally help them with their courses,making a smarter generation.Now, I know you‟re thinking, “What about kids who find playing a musical instrument hard or boring? How would taking a music class help them?”Well, even though playing an instrument doesn‟t necessarily help all teens, it is agreed that there are very few teens who do not listen to music. This shows that all students, in their own way, like hearing music throughout their day. The music that they listen to calms them and gives them reassurance (保证) that they can make it through their schoolwork. That being said, all schools should have a required hour of …relaxation‟ time when high schoolers would listen to music, do easy homework, and calm themselves down after their long school day.Music helps kids in their education, providing them with a brighter future and ensuring that they take care of their generation, the generation before them, and the generations to come.30. The words “becomes overwhelmed”in Paragraph 1 probably mean “”.A. loses confidenceB. feels disappointedC. can not think clearlyD. isn‟t sure about the answers31. What can we learn from the passage?A. Music helps students to be more creative.B. Few students can relax themselves at school.C. Adding music to a teen‟s day stops them from studying.D. Music speeds up the flow of cortisol released from the body.32. According to Paragraph 5, we knowthat .A. taking a music class is hard and boringB. all teens listen to music in their own wayC. playing an instrument is necessary for all teensD. all schools have a required hour of …relaxation‟ time33. What is the best title of the passage?A. The Bright Future of MusicB. The W ay of Calming DownC. The Calming Power of MusicD. The W ay of Solving Problems30.C 31.A 32. B 33. C【石景山二模】DLanguage in crisisToday, almost 80% of the people in the world speak only 1% of its languages. Every 14 days a language dies. By 2100, half of the more than 7,000 languages spoken on Earth today may disappear.Why do languages die?Throughout history, the languages of dominant (统治的) groups have spread while the languages of native cultures have become extinct. This happens because of government language policies, or because the dominant language becomes more useful in everyday life.Why is language important?Studying different languages increases our understanding of how humans communicate. Language is also an important part of culture. Words that describe a particular cultural practice might not have meaning in another language.Native groups often have a deep understanding of local plants and animals because they have lived close to nature for thousands of years. We could discover important things, such as treatments for illness, by studying these languages. Many endangered (濒临灭绝的) languages aren’t written down. When the last speakers of a language die and their language becomes extinct, their stories, songs, and other important information are lost, too.Which languages are disappearing?Central South America has some of the world’s most endangered languages. The Kallawaya people speak a secret language that has details of thousands of medicinal plants. Today, fewer than 100 people speak it.In Central and Eastern Siberia, almost all of the native languages are endangered. Many Siberian languages now have only a few elderly speakers.Oklahoma has the highest number of native languages in the United States. One of these, Yuchi, may be unrelated to any other language in the world. However, during the early 20th century, government schools punished students who were heard speaking it. In 2010, only five elderly members of the Yuchi tribe could speak their native language.How are languages being saved?Native cultures around the world are using modern technology to help keep their endangered languages and cultures alive. Communities are creating dictionaries and libraries by using pictures, video, and audio to record the traditions of the last speakers of their language. If the younger generations don’t speak and understand the words and stories of their ancestors (祖先), the language will die. And when the language dies, part of the culture dies, too.30. The underlined word “extinct” probably means ______.A. selling outB. dying outC. speaking outD. putting out31. How are the native languages in Central Siberia and Oklahoma similar?A. Both of them are secret languages.B. Fewer people can speak them today.C. They are both unrelated to other languages.D. They are both spoken mainly by young people.32. To save a language, it is most important for______ to learn it.A. young peopleB. parentsC. scientistsD. dominant groups33. What does the writer want to tell us in the passage?A. It’s necessary to study more languages.B. It’s good for people to speak the same language.C. Preventing the loss of the world’s languages is important.D. Protecting languages is more important than protecting culture.30. B 31. B 32. A 33. C【昌平二模】DSnow monkeys have been discovered taking baths inman-made hot springs during winter in recent years. Now,researchers have found exactly why the monkeysdo this.The results are not surprising: The monkeys are cold. But the researchers also found that bathing in a hot-spring may lower the monkeys’ levels of stress.“This shows that, as in humans, the hot spring has a stress-reducing effect in snow monkeys,” said Rafaela Takeshita, the study lead writer. “This habit of hot spring bathing by snow monkeys showed how animals’ behavior can help fight against cold-c limate stress,” Takeshita said. Snow monkeys live in very cold place in the world. They are especially used to living in the cold; they grow thicker and longer fur in the winter.In 1963, a female Japanese snow monkey living in Jigokudani Monkey Park in Nagano, Japan, was seen bathing in an outdoor hot spring belonging to a nearby hotel, and other monkeys soon copied this behavior, the researchers said. As you might imagine, a group of monkeys bathing in a hot spring meant to hold people made people feel the hot spring dirty, so the park management built a new hot spring just for the monkeys. By 2003, about a third of the snow monkeys living in this park often bathed in the hot spring in the winter. The bathing monkeys are now already a popular tourist attraction.The bathing monkeys seemed to be bathing to stay warm, but scientists had no data to support this theory, they said. In the new study, the researchers collected data from 12 adult female monkeys in Jigokudani Monkey Park between April and June, and again from October to December. They examined how much time the monkeys spent in the hot spring, and also studied the da ta for “fecal glucocorticoid” ,a metbolite（代谢物）, related to the levels of stress in monkeys. The researchers found that female snow monkeys did use the hot spring more often inthe winter than in the spring, especially during colder weeks.The researchers also found that the dominant (统领) females spent the most time bathing because they need more energy to keep their position. They also have a higher level stress.The researchers concluded that hot-spring bathing becomes a tradition that provides physiological (生理的) benefits to the monkeys.30. What’s the best title for the passage?A. Snow monkeys in springB. Snow monkeys with a new habitC. Snow monkeys in winterD. Snow monkeys under heavy stress31. How does Rafaela think of snow monkeys’ behavior?A. It’s a natural tradition.B. It’s a tourist attraction.C. It helps them get used to the environment.D. It makes them feel the position is important.32. What do the experiments carried in two different periods show?A. The female snow monkeys enjoy bathing in winter more.B. The number of hot-spring bathing snow monkeys grows.C. The experiments are easier to carry out in winter months.D. The bathing habits of the dominant male snow monkeys.33. Which of the following is TURE according to the passage?A. Some snow monkeys are copying humans’ behaviors.B. Snow monkeys are happy to live in very cold weather.C. Researchers found old snow monkeys enjoy hot springs.D. Hot-spring bathing helps lower human’s and animals’ stress.30-33 BCAD【房山二模】DWhen you were at school, the last thing you probably wanted to do was spend your weekends going to work. There was homework to do, sport to play and fun to be had. But our parents probably advise us to find a job to make some pocket money and get some life experience. When I was a teenager I had a paper round: delivering newspapers to people's homes. I then turned to a Saturday job in a supermarket: putting the things on the shelves in order and working at the checkout.Today in the UK you are allowed to work from the age of 13, and many children take up part-time jobs.It's a taste of independence. Teenagers agree that it teaches valuable lessons about working with adults and about managing your money. So, that's no bad thing!Some research has shown that not taking on a Saturday or holiday job could bedetrimental to a person later. A 2015 study by the UK Commission on Employment and S kills found that employer‟s(雇主)organizations criticized young adults because they were ill-prepared for full time work. And they were proved not having taken part-time work at school age. However, a recent report has shown that the number of school children in the UK with a part-time job has fallen by 20% in the past five years.So, does this mean that British teenagers are now more afraid of hard work? Probably not. Some experts feel that young people think going out to work will influence their performance at school, and they are under more pressure now to study hard and get good exam results—and a good job in the long term. However, Geoff Barton, general secretary of the Association of School and College Leaders, told BBC News that "Proper part-time work is a good way to help young people learn skills that they will need in their working lives." It's all about getting the right balance between doing part-time work and having enough time to study and rest.Many young people actually want to work because it gives them a sense of freedom.

It ended up on December 30. But it told the drivers the meaning of the new traffic laws and the dangers of drinking.In Beijing, some restaurants put up notices and told drivers about their responsibility. “Usually if a group of guests come by car, the driver won’t drink. I f he does, we will remind him,”said a waitress from Dongfang Restaurant in Beijing. Fewer drivers are drinking alcohol nowadays, since many know about the campaign. Wang Lankun, a traffic policeman in Beijing said, “Some drivers think a glass of beer is not a problem. But a blood test will show that their blood-alcohol level is more than 20mg for each 100ml of blood, that is enough to affect their driving.”During the campaign, drivers who have a blood-alcohollevel of over 20mg for each 100ml of blood will get a fine of 500 yuan. Also, they will not be allowed to drive for three months.In fact, there are strict laws to punish drunk driving in many other countries. For example, in the USA, if someone has a blood-alcohol level of over 80mg for each 100ml of blood, he will be sent to prison for one year. But in Britain, he will be fined 5,000 pounds and banned（禁止）from driving for 12 months, also he will be sent to prison for 6 months.

The next empty egg shell contained a plastic butterfly, which looked very real. Doris held it up. “We all know that a caterpi llar changes and grows into a beautiful butterfly. Yes, that’s new life, too.”Suddenly, Jeremy spoke up. “Miss Miller, aren’t you going to talk about my Easter egg?” Impatiently, Doris replied, “But Jeremy, your Easter egg is 18 .”He looked into her eyes and said softly, “Yes, but Jesus’ tomb (坟墓) was empty,too.” Time stopped. When she could speak again, Doris asked him, “Do you know why the tomb was empty?”“Oh, yes,” Jeremy said, “Jesus was killed and put in there. Then His Father raised Him up.” “And that’s how Easter 19!”The recess bell rang. While the children excitedly ran out to the schoolyard,Doris cried.

Heinherited (继承) his father Lei Changgen’s love of po ems. The elder Lei put poetryon the kitchen wall for his son to read throughout childhood.“My father hoped I would grow up to be a man who keeps the mountains,rivers, lakes and seas in mind,” the courier said.In the father’s small house, there is a fou r-story bookshelf, the top of which isfilled with poetry books. Lei Haiwei showed great interest in Chinese culture whenhe was a child. Every time his father told him the stories behind each poem, he wastotally attracted. He enjoyed reading poems.In 2001, the younger Lei graduated from a technical secondary school andfound a job in Shanghai. Lei began to read books related to poems at bookstores orlibraries in his spare time, since he didn’t have enough money to buy many. Theyoung man also developed a habit of reciting poems he liked, writing down themafter returning home.Though Lei came to Hangzhou city in 2008 and works as a fast food courier,his love for poems hasn’t faded (减退). On his busiest work days, the courier has todeliver more than 50 orders a day, earning up to 9,000 yuan a month. Even so, heseized any available moment to recite poems.“For example, I am used to reciting poems when I wait for food at restaurants,and traffic lights on my way to deliver food. Reciting poems not only enriches myknowledge, but also makes my job less boring,” the courier said.As for his future plans, the courier said he will stick to reading and recitingpoems.24. When did Lei Haiwei begin to be interested in poems?A. At the age of 6.B. At the age of 37.C. At the age of 50.D. At the age of 16.25. Why did Lei Haiwei read books at bookstores or libraries?A. Because he could write down poems there.B. Because he won the championship in a competition.C. Because he could talk about poems with others there.D. Because he didn’t have enough money to buy many books.26. What does Lei Haiwei think of reciting poems?A. It helps him get more money.B. It makes his job more boring.C. It makes him busier with his job.D. It helps him get more knowledge.CLearning vocabulary doesn’t have to be boringMany students have problems with vocabulary when preparing for tests like the SATs. Last week, TEENS offered advice on how to memorize new words. If you’re now familiar with those methods, why not try moving on to the next stage by using the following tips to build up your English vocabulary.Repeated encounters (反复遇见)The usual way of “memorizing” new material is through repeating it while it’sstill in your mind. However, simply repeating a word seems to have little long-termeffect.But one kind of repetition is effective: repetition of encounters with a word.Words stand a good chance of being remembered if they’ve been met at least seventimes in your reading, at intervals (相隔一段时间). So, read English magazines,newspapers, and websites regularly.Spacing and reviewIt’s better to distribute (分配) memory work over a period of time rather thando it in a single session (一段时间). This is known as the “principle of distributedpracti ce”, where new vocabulary introduced in one lesson is reviewed in the next,and then in later lessons.Use it or lose itPutting words to use in interesting ways helps add them to your long-termmemory. In a study of vocabulary learning, students who made up their ownsentences with new words and read them aloud remembered them better than thosewho learned the words separately and silently. Best of all, students were given thetask of silently imagining a picture in their minds to go with a new word. So itmight help if learners link words with a mental image.Mix it upLet’s face it —learning words can be really boring, but it doesn’t have to be.Thanks to the Internet, there are more interesting ways to get the job done. Trywatching videos from English-speaking social media celebrities and copying theway they speak. You could even upload your own videos and try becoming a staryourself.27. According to the passage, a good way of memorizing new words is ________.A. simply repeating themB. learning the words silentlyC. reviewing them in one lessonD. reading English magazines regularly28. To make learning words more interesting, we can ________.A. try to become a famous starB. read new words on websitesC. make and upload our own English videosD. draw a picture on the paper with a new word29. What does the passage mainly talk about?A. Where to use new words.B. How to memorize new words.C. When to learn new words.D. What to write with new words.DClara sits at her desk deep in thought. She stares at the math problem in front of her desperately trying to remember how to solve it, but as she sits there her long list of homework plays over in her head, and she becomes overwhelmed. She bites her lip thinking and thinking. Then she hears a song on the radio. As she turns up the music, a wave of calm spreads over her body, she closes her eyes and listens to the music.When the song ends, Clara’s eyes open and she turns off the radio. She looks again at the troublesome question and sighs, “I remember how to do this now,” she says to herself. Then she finishes the problem, but this time calmer than before.According to NPR news, 45% of teens say they are stressed by schoolpressures, such as homework and grades. High school, and all of the honors and APcourses, can stress out teens like Clara to the point of exhaustion, but it doesn’thave to be this way. Lots of students can use stress relievers to simmer downduring their school day. Music can be one of those reliefs.When the body is stressed, it releases cortisol (释放皮质醇), a life sustainingadrenal hormone (肾上腺荷尔蒙) nicknamed “the stress hormone”. By playing music,students stop the flow (流动) of cortisol released from their body, therefore returning totheir normal, non-stressed self quicker than someone who didn’t hear or play any music.When returning to this state, teens can think more clearly, with their stress gone.Music does not only calm the stressed mind, it develops creativity, as well asimproving math and reading skills. A music class can help students who arestressed and give them an hour of relaxation during their day. This can help highschoolers have a clear mind to concentrate on their schoolwork. Adding music to ateen’s day can help them become less stressed and finally help them with theircourses, making a smarter generation.Now, I know you’re thinking, “What about kids who find playing a musicalinstrument hard or boring? How would taking a music class help them?” Well,even though playing an inst rument doesn’t necessarily help all teens, it is agreedthat there are very few teens who do not listen to music. This shows that allstudents, in their own way, like hearing music throughout their day. The music thatthey listen to calms them and gives them reassurance (保证) that they can make itthrough their schoolwork. That being said, all schools should have a required hourof ‘relaxation’ time when high schoolers would listen to music, do easy homework,and calm themselves down after their long school day.Music helps kids in their education, providing them with a brighter future andensuring that they take care of their generation, the generation before them, and thegenerations to come.30.
