We first have to understand what leaves are and what they do.Leaves are the world's food factories. Plants take water from the ground through their roots(根)and take CO2 from the air. Plants use sunlight to turn water and CO2 into glucose (葡萄糖), a kind of sugar. Plants use it as food for energy and growing.A chemical called “chlorophyll” in the leaves gives plants their green color. As summer ends and autumncomes, the days get shorter and shorter, and trees “know” it's time to get ready for winter.During winter, there is not enough sunlight and water. Trees rest during this time and live on the food they store during the summer. They begin to shut down their food-making factories. As the green chlorophyll disappears from the leaves, we begin to see yellow and orange leaves.The bright reds and purples we see in leaves are made mostly in autumn. In some trees, like maples(枫树), sunlight and the cool nights of autumn turn the glucose in the leaves into the red color. And we can enjoy the beautiful red leaves during autumn.1. What do plants use to turn water and CO2 into glucose?A. Air.B. Sugar.C. Sunlight.D. Wind.2. The underlined word “chlorophyll” probably means“________”．A. 叶绿素B. 脂肪C. 蛋白质D. 淀粉3.

During winter trees live on the food they store in summer.C. During winter we seldom see yellow colors in the leaves.D. Trees begin to stop making food in summer.Passage 12(2020原创)为什么会打哈欠？You just need to yawn(打哈欠). But why does it happen?The scientists do not know what a yawn is for. What we do know is that yawning happens to just about every kind of animals. It happens when an animal is tired. Yawning can also take place during the time of disagreement and stress. And that wide-open mouth can be contagious(感染的), especially in social animals such as humans and wolves. Watching someone yawn—even reading about yawns—can lead you to yawn yourself. Why? The research on humans tells us that people who are more empathetic(有同理心的) may be more likely to get contagious yawning.Is yawning contagious for dogs, too? In 2011, UK biologists tested for contagious yawning between people and dogs. Although 5 of the 19 dogs they studied did yawn in reply to an unfamiliar person's yawn, the researchers couldn't prove the yawns were contagious.In 2013, scientists at the University of Tokyo once again tested contagious yawning in dogs while controlling for stress. This time the researchers found that dogs were more likely to yawn in reply to a familiar person. They concluded that d ogs can “catch” a yawn from humans and that yawning is a social rather than a stress­basedbehavior.This finding suggests some dogs find human yawning stressful and others do not. More research is needed to find out whether yawning is contagious between humans and dogs or not.So we don't know the real reason of yawning. Try an experiment at home: Yawn and see if your pet yawns back.素材选自可可英语网1.

Last month Hong Kong officers found 131，000 kilograms of broken computers, TVs and phones sent from Japan.Things like these are called electronic waste, or e­waste. Dealing with them is not an easy job. Every time an old computer breaks down, it needs to be dealt with safely. What is worse, at present, broken computer parts are usually buried. It may be hundreds of years before they really go in the earth.Many places in China are polluted by e­waste. Guiyu in Guangdong Province is one of them. This town is named as “the e­waste capital of the world”. It has to deal with 1. 5 million kilograms of e­waste each year, from which it makes 75 million yuan. But it comes at a cost. Many of the poisons in e­waste find their way into the environment. An environmental group has found the air, the earth and the rivers in Guiyu badly polluted.Luckily, the Chinese government wants the country to change the situation. This year, China passed a new environmental protection law. Computer companies like Lenovo and Dell will be asked to take back their old computers.

The bike that the service company provides has GPS or Bluetooth on it, and those bikes can be easily unlocked with a smart phone and left anywhere in public. Bike­sharing allows people to borrow a bike from one place and return it at another place easily.In some cities, we can see more and more people riding this kind of sharing­bikes. It's very convenient to use the bikes if you have a smart phone. First, you have to download such an APP on your smart phone. Then what you need to do is to find a nearest bike through the APP, scan the QR code on the bike or connect your phone with the bike over a Bluetooth wireless connection. You will find the bike can be unlocked itself. Then you can enjoy your trip. What's more, the greatest advantage of bike­sharing is that you can easily find one and never worry about where to park it. The cost of riding depends on the time that you spend. Normally, every hour you ride, you need to pay one yuan. It doesn't cost so much, does it?At the same time, some people park the bikes in their own homes. Besides, some people don't value the bikes. Now service companies are trying to solve the problem like being stolen.Technology and science have changed our social lifestyles.

None of them has an environment with air, so people and living things cannot grow. The sun and its planets are called the solar system(太阳系).

We wanted to do something to make a difference. ”In 2014, When Kaitlin was thirteen, she visited Central America, and saw people going hungry and families living in houses made of cardboard. That year, we set Kids on a Mission, which has helped hundreds of people there.“The rooms were smaller than my bedroom, but there would be eight people living in each one,” Kaitlin said. “We also got to see the dirty rivers that those people were drinking out of.”Providing clean drinking water, food and clothes for people living in poverty is now an important task for Kids on a Mission. “This young lady is changing the hearts of people, and also changing the world,” said the headmaster of Kaitlin's school.1.

In exchange, some kids get allowances(补贴) or other rewards such as extra computer time.But some people do not think that kids should get rewards for doing chores. Susie Walton, a parenting educator and family coach, believes that by rewarding kids, parents are sending a message that work isn't worth doing unless you get something in__return. “Running any kind of household is a team effort, ” Susie said. “A home is a living space for everyone in the family. It's important for kids to see that we all have responsibilities in the house, and how they are going to keep it looking like what everyone wants it to be. ”Other people believe that getting a cash allowance or other rewards motivates kids to do chores, and it also teaches them real world lessons about how we need to work to earn money. There are also new applications that give kids points and digital gifts that can be redeemed (兑取) either online or in the real world. With the ChoreMonster app, kids earn digital points by completing chores that they can turn in for real-life rewards such as extra Xbox time or a trip to the mall. “Our goal is to encourage kids to earn rewards,” says Chris Bergman, the founder of ChoreMonster. “Kids need positive reinforcement (强化) to help motivate them. ”What do you think? Should kids be rewarded for doing chores? Or should kids help out around their house without getting anything in return?Write a 200­word response. Send it to tfkasks 4 you @timeforkids. com. Your response may be published in a future issue of Time For Kids. Please include your grade and contact information of your parents or teacher if you want your response to be published.

According to Susie Walton, ________.A. kids should be rewarded for doing choresB. parents decide what kids can do for the familyC. kids have the responsibility to share houseworkD. kids can get extra computer time for doing chores4. Paragraph 3 is mainly about ________.A.

When crops are green,locusts look green.But as the harvest time comes,locusts change to the same brown color as crops have.Some other pests with different colors from plants are easily found and eaten by others.So they have to hide themselves for lives and appear only at night.If you study the animal life,you’llfind the main use of coloring is to protect themselves.

However，one autumn，things changed.It began witha tiny disagreement about a horse，which grew into a major difference. The difference led to angry words, followed by weeks of silence between the two brothers.One morning there was a knock on Paul's door.He opened it and saw a builder holding his toolbox.“I'm looking for a few days' work，”the builder said.“Are there any jobs here I could help with?” “Yes, ”answered Paul, extremely pleased to see the builder.“I do have a job for you. Look at that farm across the creek(小溪).That's my brother's farm. That creek used to be a grass field, but last week my brother dug a path from the fiver and made the creek.But I'll go him one better.See that pile of wood?1 want you to build me a fence，two meters tall，so 1 won't need to see him anymore.” The builder said thoughtfully.“I think I understand the situation and I'll be able to do a job that pleases you.” Paul had business in town that day and left the builder to his work.When he returned，the builder had just finished his job.Paul was shocked.Instead of a fence there was a bridge, stretching from one side of the creek to the other.As Paul stood on the bridge, staring in amazement，his younger brother Jason, cameacross, and took Paul's hand.“You are a good man to have built this bridge after a11 I've done，”said Jason.

One of my father's friends, Bernie, was a rich businessman, who owned a large store in St. Paul.Every summer, when the first watermelons arrived, Bernie would call. Dad and I would go to Bernie's place. We'd sit on the edge of the dock（码头）, feet dangling（摇晃）, and got ready for a big meal.Bernie would take his knife, cut our first watermelon, hand us both a big piece and sit down next to us. Then we'd bury our faces in watermelon, eating only the heart—the reddest, juiciest, firmest, sweetest, most seed-free part—and throw away the rest. Bernie was my father's idea of a rich man. I always thought it was because he was such a successful businessman. Years later, I realized that it was not Bernie's wealth itself but his way of dealing with it that my father liked. Bernie knew how to stop working, get together with friends and eat only the heart of the watermelon.What I learned from Bernie is that being rich is a state of mind. Some of us, no matter how much money we have, will never be free enough to eat only the heart of the watermelon. If you don't take the time to dangle your feet over the dock and enjoy life's small pleasure, your work is probably hurting your life.For many years, I forgot that lesson I'd learned as a kid on the loading dock. I was too busy making all the money I could.Well, I've relearned it. I hope I have time left to enjoy the success of others and to take pleasure in the day. That's the heart of the watermelon. I have learned again to throw the rest away.1. We learned from the second paragraph that the writer and his father were feeling______. A. relaxed B. worriedC. hungryD. proud2. How did the writer and his father eat the watermelon? A. They ate it in a polite way. B. They only ate its best part. C. They ate every part of it.D. They shared only one piece.3. In the eyes of the writer's father, Bernie ______.A. was just a rich businessmanB. worked hard all the timeC. lived a rich but healthy lifeD. knew how to make money4. The underlined part “the heart of the watermelon” in the last paragraph refers to______.A. the best part of the watermelonB. the writer's busy lifeC. the writer's decision of making moneyD. the writer's hope of enjoying life5. It can be learned from the passage that ______. A. one has to work hard to reach his goal B. a friend in need is a friend in deed C. watermelon is the healthiest fruitD. one should keep work-life balance答案：ABCDD3Hundreds of years ago，a Roman army came north from England to make war on Scotland. The Scots，a brave people，loved their country very much. They fought hard to drive the enemy out of Scotland，but there were too many Romans. It looked as if the Romans would win.One night，the leader of Scots marched his soldiers to the top of a hill. “We will rest here tonight，my men,”he said. “Tomorrow we will fight one more battle. We must win or we will die.”They were all very tired，so they ate their supper quickly and fell asleep. There were four guards on duty，but they，too，were very tired，and one by one，also fell asleep. The Romans were not asleep. Quickly they gathered at the foot of the hill. Slowly they climbed up the hillside，taking care not to make a sound. Closer and closer they came to the sleeping Scots. They were almost at the top. A few minutes more，the war would be over. Suddenly，one of them put his foot on a thistle(蓟). He cried out and his sudden cry woke the Scots. In a moment，they were on their feet and ready for battle. The fighting was hard but it did not last long. The Scots wiped out the Romans and saved their country.The thistle is not a beautiful plant. It has sharp needles all over it. Few people like it.But the people of Scotland liked it so much that they made it their national flower.1. Hundreds of years ago there was a war between ________.A.

Of course it was a good place for training the new soldiers. But it was difficult for the young men to go outside. Mr White, an officer of forty, was strict with them and he hardly let them leave the camp.Once Mr White was ill in bed. He couldn't work and a young officer, Mr Hunt began to train the new soldiers instead of him. He knew the young men well and let nine soldiers go to the nearest town to have a holiday. But night fell and none came back to the camp. He was worried about it and stood at the gate. It was five to twelve when Mr Hunt decided to go to the town and see what was happening to the young men. He started the car quickly and set off. At that moment the nine soldiers came back. It seemed they drank wine. Of course they found the officer was angry.“I'm sorry, sir,” said the first soldier. “I left the town on time. But something was wrongwith my bus on my way here. I had to buy a horse and made it run fast. Bad luck! It died and I had to run back.”And the other seven soldiers said they were late for the same reasons. It was the last soldier's turn. He said, “I'm sorry, sir. I got on a bus on time, but…”Having heard this, the officer became even angrier and stopped him at once.

Onenight, while the man was at work, he realized that he had extra(额外的) work to do for the evening, and that he wouldn't be able to play with his son. But, he wanted to be able to give the boy something to keep him busy. Looking around his office, he saw a magazine with a large map of the world on the cover. He got an idea. He removed the map, and then patiently(耐心地) tore (撕) it up into small pieces. Then he put all the pieces in his coat pocket.When he got home, his son wanted to play with him, but he spread (铺) all the pieces of the map on the table. He explained that it was a map of the world, and that by the time his son could put it back together, his extra work would be finished, and they could both play. Surely this would keep the child busy for hours, he thought.About half an hour later the boy came to the man and said, “OK, it's finished. Can we playnow?” The man was surprised, saying, “That's impossible. Let's go and see.” And sure enough, there was the picture of the world, all put together, every piece in its place.

He held up a glass of water and asked the class, How heavy do you think this glass of water is?The students' answers ranged from 20 g to 500 g. It does not matter on the weight itself. It depends on how long you hold it. If I hold it for a minute, it is OK. If I hold it for an hour, I will have an ache in my right arm. If I hold it for a day, you will have to call an ambulance (救护车). It is exactly the same weight, but the longer I hold it, the heavier it becomes.If we carry our burdens (负担) all the time, sooner or later, we will not be able to carry on, the burden becoming increasingly heavier.What you have to do is to put the glass down, rest for a while before holding it up again. We have to put down the burden sometimes, so that we can be refreshed and are able to carry on.So before you return home from work tonight, put the burden of work down.. Don't carry it back home.

There are only a few men in all of history, who have changed the lives of other men as much as the inventor of the first useful electric light. But Edison could never be pleased onlybecause someone said he was a genius. “There is no such thing as genius,” Edison said. He thought what people called genius was mostly hard work.But Edison was a dreamer as well as a worker. From his earliest days as a child he wondered about the secrets of nature. He tried to understand them, and then he tried to learn what he could usefully do with them.Edison enjoyed thinking. He knew that most people would do almost anything instead of the difficult work of thinking, especially if they do not think very often. But he knew, too, that thinking could give men enjoyment and pleasure.Edison could not understand how anyone could not be interested in life. As he loved to think, he also loved to work. On the day he became 75 years old, someone asked him what idea he had about life. “Work,” he answered, “Discovering the secrets of nature and using them to make men happier.” He said he had enough inventions in his mind to give him another 100 years of work.1.According to Thomas Edison, what's genius?A.Hard thinking.B.Hard work.eful dreams.eful inventions.2.After exploring the secrets of nature, Edison always tried to .A.write down what he had learntB.carry out a new experimentC.make them useful in lifeD.share them with others3.Edison could not understand .

A.Edison was born to be a great inventor B.Edison was able to live another 100 years C.Edison was ready to make his 100 th invention D.life was too short for Edison to work for human beings答案：BCDD9I've loved my mother's desk since I was just tall enough to see above the top of it as mother sat doing letters. Standing by her chair, looking at the ink bottle, pens, and white paper, I decided that the act of writing must be the more wonderful thing in the world. Years later, during her final illness, mother kept different things for my sister and brother. “But the desk,” she'd said again, “it's for Elizabeth. ”I never saw her get angry, never saw her cry. I knew she loved me; she showed it in action. But as a young girl, I wanted heart-to-heart talks between mother and daughter. They never happened. And a gulf opened between us. I was “too emotional(易动感情的)”. But she lived “on the surface(表面)”.As years passed I had my own family. I loved my mother and thanked her for our happy family. I wrote to her in careful words and asked her to let me know in any wayshe chose that she did forgive(原谅) me.I posted the letter and waited for her answer. None came.My hope turned to disappointment(失望), then little interest and, finally, peace— it seemed that nothing happened. I couldn't be sure that the letter had even got to mother. I only knew that I had written it, and I could stop trying to make her into someone she was not.Now the present of her desk told, as she'd never been able to, that she was pleased that writing was my chosen work. I cleaned the desk carefully and found some papers inside —a photo of my father and a one-page letter, folded(折叠) and refolded many times. Give me an answer, my letter asks, in any way you choose. Mother, you always chose the act that speaks louder than words.1.

The word “gulf” in the passage means ______.A. deep understanding between the old and the youngB. different ideas between the mother and the daughterC. free talks between mother and daughterD. part of the sea going far in land4. What did mother do with her daughter's letter asking forgiveness?A. She had never received the letter.B. For years, she often talked about the letter.C. She didn't forgive her daughter at all in all her life.D. She read the letter again and again till she died.5. What's the best title of the passage?A. My letter to MotherB. Mother and ChildrenC. My mother's DeskD. Talks between Mother and Me答案：CABDC10A friend of mine named Paul received an expensive car from his brother as a Christmas present. On Christmas Eve when Paul came out of his office, a street urchin(顽童) was walking around the shining car. “Is this your car, sir?” he asked.Paul answered, “Yes, my brother gave it to me for Christmas.” The boy was surprised. “You mean your brother gave it to you and it did cost you nothing? Sir, I wish…” He hesitated(犹豫). Paul thought of course he knew what the boy wanted, but what the boy said surprised him greatly. “I wish,” the boy went on, “that I could be a brother like that.” Paul looked atthe boy in surprise, and then he said again, “Would you like to take a ride in my car?” “Oh yes, I'd love to,” the boy answered.After a short ride, the boy turned and with his eyes shining, said, “Sir, would you minddriving in front of my house?”Paul smiled a little. He thought he knew what the boy wanted. He wanted to show his neighbors that he could ride home in a big car. But Paul was wrong again. “Will you stop where those two steps are?” the boy asked.He ran up to the steps. Then in a short while Paul heard him coming back, but he was not coming fast. He was carrying his little crippled(残疾的) brother. He sat down on the step and pointed to the car.“There he is, Buddy, just like I told you upstairs. His brother gave it to him for Christmas and it didn't cost him a cent. And some day I'm going to give you one just like it…then you can see for yourself all the nice things in the Christmas windows that I've been trying to tell you about.”Paul got out and lifted the boy to the front seat of his car.

So how much does a miracle cost?” “We don't sell a miracle here, child. I'm sorry,” the salesman said with a smile.“Listen, if it isn't enough, I can try and get some more. Just tell me how much it costs.”A well-dressed man heard it and asked, “What kind of a miracle does your brother need?”“I don't know,” she answered with her eyes full of tears. “He's really sick and mum says he needs an operation. But my daddy can't pay for it, so I have brought all my money.” “How much do you have?” asked the man. “$ 1.11, but I can try and get some more,” she answered.“Well, what luck,” smiled the man. “$ 1.11, the price of a miracle for little brothers.” He took up the girl's hand and said, “Take me to where you live. I want to see your brother and meet your parents. Let's see if I have the kind of miracle you need.”That well-dressed man was Dr Carlton Armstrong, a famous doctor.

2020中考英语大阅读组合练有答案一、阅读理解AGetting electricity has always been a problem for the 173 people living in Nuevo Saposoa, a small village in Peru, South America. However, things went from bad to worse in March 2015 after heavy rain damaged the only power cables in the area. The villagers were forced to use oil lamps, which are not only expensive but also dangerous because of the harmful gases they produce.Luckily, according to the researchers at the University of Technology (UT) in Lima, Peru heard about their problem and found a wonderful solution. They made a lamp that can be powered by plants and soil, both of which can be easily found in the Amazonian rainforest where the village lies. The lamp takes energy from a plant growing in a wooden box and uses it to light up an LED light bulb.While that may sound amazing and even impossible, the science behind the idea is quite simple. As plants create their food (using the sun's energy, water and chemicals from the soil), they also produce waste which they return to the soil. Tiny animals in the soil eat this waste and they produce electrons — the building blocks of electrical energy. The UT team put special sticks inside the soil to capture the energy and keep it in the lamp's batteries for later use. The researchers say a single charge can power a 50－watt LED light for two hours — enough time for local villagers to get their evening work done.The university gave ten Plant Lamps to the villagers of Nuevo Saposoa in October 2015. So far, they have been a huge success! Elmer Ramirez, the UT professor who invented the lamp, believes the Plant Lamp could help improve the lives of many people, especially small rainforest communities, 42% of whom have no electricity.()1、What are the problems of oil lamps according to Paragraph 1?A.

B（民族风情及节日文化）We never had children of our own—just The White Prince—and I can tell you，he was enough of a family for anyone. He walked freely in the park just as we had planned he would，and ran after the deer and the rabbits whenever he felt like it: but he never did learn how to kill for himself. You can't teach old lions new tricks. He lived on deer mostly，and slept on a sofa in our living room—I wouldn't have him inside our bedroom，no matter(无论) how often Bertie asked. You know，I have to draw the line somewhere.Bertie's leg was never cured. When it was bad，he often needed a stick，or me，or the lion to lean on. It pained him a lot，especially on cold and wet days，and he never slept well. On Sundays the three of us would walk around the park together，and Bertie would sit on the top of Wood Hill with his arm around the lion's neck and I would fly kites. You know，I've always loved kites. And the lion liked to break them into pieces.The lion never showed any interest in running away，and even if he'd wanted to，the park wall was too high for an old lion to jump over. Wherever Bertie went，he wanted to go too. And if ever Bertie went out in the car，then he'd sit by me in the kitchen，and watch me with those great amber eyes，listening all the while for the sound of Bertie's car coming up the path to the front of the house.The lion was getting older. And he became weak in his legs and could see very little. He spent his last days sleeping at Bertie's feet. When he died，we buried(埋葬) him at the bottom of the hill. Bertie wanted it that way so he could always see the place from the kitchen window. I suggested Bertie plant a tree in case(以防) he forgot where the lion was. “I will，but he should get more than a tree，” Bertie said.Bertie was sad for weeks，months after the lion died. There was nothing I could do to cheer him or even comfort him. He would sit for hours in his room，or go off on long walks by himself. He seemed so shut away inside himself，so distant(遥远的). Try as I did，I could not reach him.…(Adapted from The Butterfly Lion)( )1. What did Bertie's wife mean by saying “I have to draw the line somewhere”？A. She would like the lion to sit by her.B. She didn't except Bertie to keep the lion.C. She didn't allow the lion to go into the bedroom.D. She wanted to stop the lion walking freely in the park.( )2. Which description about the lion is TRUE according to the story?A. He seldom broke kites into pieces.B. He could jump over the park wall.C. He became weak in his legs and eyes.D. He could kill deer or rabbits for himself.( )3. What can be inferred(推断) from the story?A. Bertie's leg was badly hurt by the lion.B. The lion wanted to leave Bertie's family.C. Bertie's wife would plant a tree for the lion.D. Bertie loved the lion more than his wife did.( )4. The story is mainly about ________.A. Bertie and his wife—the owners of the lionB. tricks that Bertie and his wife taught the lionC. the habits that the lion formed in Bertie's familyD. the last days the lion spent with Bertie and his wife二、任务型阅读Dear Annie,I’ve never written a letter to a newspaper before, I have just never felt the need to do such a thing.

Tian-yan ("The Eye of Heaven"), with a dish the sire of 30 football grounds, deep in the mountains of southwest China's Guizhou Province.The giant dish is built on a howl-like valley.The surrounding area has "radio silence" as there are no towns and cities within a 5-kilometer radius（半径范围）and only one county center within 25 kilometers.FAST is made up of 4,450 panels(面板).The second largest radio telescope is in Russia.The bigger dish will be able to pick up weaker signals (信号).The radio telescope is like an ear, listening to tell meaningful radio messages from white noise in the universe.With the help of the telescope, we can receive weaker and more radio messages far away in space.It will help us to search for intelligent life outside of the Galaxy(银河系) and explore the origins（起源）of the

uniform（校服）rules.Should students wear school uniforms? The Young World magazine held a discussion on this topic（话题）.Kennedy: The school uniform is very important, because it always reminds me that I am supposed to go out of my way to study hard.It also helps prevent school bullying（欺凌）.If everyone wears the same clothes, it is impossible to laugh at other people’s clothing.Manson: The uniform has to be earned（获得）through efforts.Students should start school with no uniforms.As they make progress at school, they start wearing it.I always think children need to be proud of their school.The uniform is important for that.So, make students earn it! If they don’t perform well, they should not be allowed to get one.Moorhead: In my opinion, kids don’t have to wear uniforms.There should be more choices open to kids in education.They ought to develop their own independence and just be themselves.Their personalities would be expressed through their own clothes at school.And different dress could be one way of showing their understanding of beauty.Besides, they make the school lively and colorful.Patrick: I can see the advantages of wearing school uniforms.They play a very important role in managing schools.However, a school should not depend heavily on uniforms to improve students’behaviors.Teaching them how to express themselves with confidence（信心）is more important.46.
