阅读下面短文, 根据短文的内容判断句子的正误.正确的涂―A‖, 错误的涂―B‖.
I have never taken cooking classes. I learned cooking from my mother because she was really interested in teaching me how to cook. The main reason for this was because when my mother got married, she didn't know how to cook anything, not even an egg. My grandmother never allowed her to stay in the kitchen when she was cooking.
My mother did not start to cook until she was twenty-five years old. In the beginning, it was very hard for her. Therefore, she had to take cooking classes to prepare(准备)our meals. After having that experience, she decided to teach me how to cook because she didn't want me to have the same experience.
I remember when I was seven years old, I started to learn cooking from my mother. Sometimes we prepared the meals that my mother already knew how make, and sometimes we prepared meals from recipes. Thanks to that experience, now I don't need any help to cook a meal. I can cook for myself or for a group of people; it doesn't matter. I will do the same with my children because I don't want them to have the same experience as my mother. If one day I am not with them, I want to be sure that they can continue their life without me.

Is there someone you hate? Well, maybe you don‘t really hate them. But you get really angry every time you think of them. If you don‘t let this anger go, it can turn into bitterness (痛苦).
Bitterness appears when we can‘t forgive (原谅) someone who has hurt us or made us angry. Someone might say or do something that hurts us. But instead of controlling the anger, we keep it deep inside. Before long, a bitter feeling begins to grow. We may think we‘re hurting that person by criticizing (指责) him or her often, but we‘re really only hurting ourselves.
Bitterness can not only lead to serious health problems such as heart disease, but also hurt our relationships with friends and family members. No one enjoys being around an angry person for very long.
If you see bitterness in your life, here are some ways to deal with it.
● Accept it
Instead of trying to deny your anger, make it clear to yourself and accept it. See your anger for what it is and quickly deal with it.
● Stop making excuses for it
You may feel you have a right to be angry. You may think you‘re right and the other person is wrong. You may even secretly enjoy making the other person look bad. But in the end, bitterness hurts you much more than the other person. The bitterness will hold you back, and the other person will go on with his or her life.
● Forgive and forget it
You probably can‘t completely put the anger out of your mind. But you can decide to forgive the other person. Forget it and move on. You‘ll enjoy better health and peace of mind.
66. According to the passage, we might get angry when someone
__________.
A. holds us back

does hurt us

69. The best way to deal with the bitterness is to __________.
A. make the person who hurts us look bad
B. hate the person who hurts us very often
C. accept that you are hurting the other person
D. forgive the person who hurts us and forget it
70. What can we learn from the passage?
A. We should enjoy someone who hurts us.

Soon computers and other machines will be able to remember you by looking at your eyes! The programmer works because everyone‘s eyes are different. So in the future you won‘t have to remember a number when you want to use a machine or
take money out of a bank. You‘ll just have to look at the machine and it will be able to tell who you are.
The eye-recognition (眼睛识别) programmer is already being tested in shops and banks in the USA, Britain, Spain, Italy and Turkey. Soon, this technology (技术) will take the place of（取代）all other ways of finding out who people are.
However, scientists are working on other systems (系统). Machines will soon be able to know you from the shape of your face or hand or even your smell! We already have machines that can tell who you are from your voice or the mark made by your finger.
Eye-recognition is better than other kinds because y our eyes don‘t change as you get older, or get dirty like hands or fingers. And even twins have different eyes, so the programmer can be up to 94％correct, depending on how good the technology is. Some programmers may only be right 51％of the time. In Britain, it was found that 91％of people who had tried it said that they liked the idea of
eye-recognition.
In the future your computer will be looking you in the eye. So smile!
77. How does the eye-recognition programmer work?
A. You write your number.
B. You show your ID
card.
C. You look at the machine.
D. You say your name.
78. Why can the programmer be up to 94％correct?
A. Because eyes never change.
B. Because hands or fingers can get dirty.
C. Because people like the idea of the programmer.
D. Because the programmer is widely used around the world.
79. Which of the following is true?
A. The programmer is being tested in Japan.
B. Machines with other systems can also tell who you are.
C. 91％of people like the idea of the programmer.
D. Computers can remember you by looking at your clothes.
80. What does Paragraph 4 talk about?
A. Introduction to other kinds of programmers.

programmer.
C. The places where the programmer is tested.

programmer works.

One day when some government officials were rebuilding a barn（谷仓）, they found a mouse hole in a corner and used smoke to force the mice inside the hole to come out. A while later they indeed saw mice running out, one after another. Then, everyone thought that all the mice had escaped. But just as they began to clean up, they saw two mice squeezing（挤）out at the mouth of the hole. With some efforts, the mice finally got out. However, it was strange that after they came out of the hole, they did not run away immediately. Instead, one chased after the other near the mouth of the hole. It seemed that one was trying to bite（咬）the tail of the other.
Everyone was puzzled, so they stepped nearer to take a look. They realized that one of the mice was blind and could not see anything, and the other was trying to allow the blind mouse to bite on his tail so that he could pull the blind one with him to escape.
After seeing what happened, everyone was speechless and lost in thought. During the meal time, the group of people sat down in a circle and started to chat about what happened to the two mice.
One serious American official said: ―I think the relationship between those two mice was that of king and guard.‖ The others thought for a while and said, ―That was why!‖
A smart French said: ―I think the relationship between those two mice was that of husband and wife.‖ Again the others thought for a while, and all felt it made sense.
A Japanese said: ―I think the relationship between those two mice was that of mother and son.‖ Once again the others thought for a while, and felt this was more reasonable. So they expressed agreement another time.
At that moment, one Chinese asked, ―Why did those two mice have to have a certain relationship?‖
Suddenly, the group looked back at the Chinese and remained speechless. The American official, the French and the Japanese who had spoken earlier all lowered their heads in shame, and did not dare to answer.
In fact, the true love is not built on friendship, loyalty or blood relationship. Instead, it is based on no relationship.

These days, more and more students in the UK are taking a ―gap year‖ between their graduation from school and their university studies. This means that they take a year off, to do something else, before they start their studies.
For most students, spending time in foreign countries is the favorite activity —and Australia is the favorite place to go.
Many parents, teachers and business people agree that traveling can teach important values.
―After a year of traveling, I learnt the importance of r elationships with people, on all sorts of levels.‖
There are many companies around the world that welcome these students on their projects — helping people in poorer countries, or even in your home country. Although you don‘t get paid for your work, this kind of work can teach important skills — decision making and finding answers to problems, for example — that will help a student in a job one day.
Finally, the knowledge and experience you get will one day be very useful in an area you hope to study or work in.
If several university graduates are applying for the same job, gap year work experience allows you to say, ―I‘ve already had some experience of this kind of work.‖ And that can get you the job!
56. These days, _______ students in the UK take a gap year.
A. few
B. many
C. all
D. a few
57. Traveling can teach you values such as learning about _______.

That's how thousands of people start their day at Laughter （笑声）Clubs around the world and many doctors now think that having a good laugh might be one of the best ways to stay healthy. The first Laughter Club was started in Mumbai, India, in 1995 by Dr. Madan Kataria. "Young children laugh about 300 times a day. Adults laugh between 7 and 15 times a day," says Dr. Kataria. "Everyone is naturally good at laughing-it's the universal language. We want people to feel happy with their lives." There are now more than 500 Laughter Clubs in India and over l,300 in the world. Many doctors are also interested in the effects （效果） of laughter on our health. According to a 5-year study at the UCLA School of Medicine in California, with laughing there is less stress in the body. Laughter improves our health against illness by about 40%. So what happens at a Laughter Club? I went along to my nearest club in South London to find out. I was quite nervous at the beginning of the class, to be honest, I wasn't interested in laughing with a group of strangers, and I was worried about looking stupid. Our laughter teacher told us to clap our hands and say “ho ho ho, ha ha ha.” while looking at each other. However, our bodies can't tell the difference between real laughter and unreal laughter, so they still produce the same healthy effects. Surprisingly, it worked! After ten minutes everybody in the room was laughing for real and some people just couldn't stop! At the end of the class I was surprised by how relaxed-and comfortable I felt. So if you're under stress, then start laughing. You might be very pleased with the results! （1）The first Laughter Club was started in __________. A. India B. America C. Britain D.

中考英语阅读理解100篇：中考英语阅读理解真题及答案（1） Edward rose early on the New-year morning. He looked in every room and wished a Happy New Year to his family. Then he ran into the street to repeat that to those he might meet. When he came back, his father gave him two bright, new silver dollars. His face lighted up as he took them. He had wished for a long time to buy some pretty books that he had seen at the bookstore. He left the house with a light heart, expecting to buy the books. As he ran down the street, he saw a poor family. “I wish you a Happy New Year.” said Edward, as he was passing on. The man shook his head. “You are not from this country.” said Edward. The man again shook his head, for he could not understand or speak his language. But he pointed to his mouth and to the children shaking with cold, as if (好像) to say, “These little ones have had nothing to eat for a long time.” Edward quickly understood that these poor people were in trouble. He took out his dollars and gave one to the man, and the other to his wife. They were excited and said something in their language, which doubtless meant, “We thank you so much that we will remember you all the time.” When Edward came home, his father asked what books he had bought. He hung his head a moment, but quickly looked up. “I have bought no books”, said he. “I gave my money to some poor people, who seemed to be very hungry then.” He went on, “I think I can wait for my books till next New Year.” “My dear boy,” said his father, “here are some books for you, more as a prize for your goodness of heart than as a New-year gift” “I saw you give the money cheerfully to the poor German family. It was nice for a little boy to do so. Be always ready to help others and every year of your life will be to you a Happy New Year.” 48.

His father wanted him to become a lawyer, but from his early 20s Verne decided to become a writer. At first he wrote plays for the theater. Then, in 1863, he wrote a story called Five Weeks in a Balloon.
