The living room was large enough for their piano. That night, the two of them sat side by side at the piano. They played jazz music to celebrate their new home. The loud music filled the room and made them feel very happy.The next morning,however, their happiness disappeared. Someone had left a note under their door during the night. One of their neighbor had written to complain(抱怨) about the sound of the piano. Dario’s mother asked the building superintendent(管理员) if he knew anything about it. But he said that they were all nice people and he couldn’t imagine any of them had done that. Later that morning, Dario suggested that they write a letter to their neighbors and apologize for their playing.“Maybe we could go and visit everyone in person.” his mother said.“What if we invited them to come here for a party in stead? Dario asked.They both loved the idea. Over the next few days, they sent out invitations and prepared desserts for their guests. They decorated the apartment with streamers(彩带) and party lights.Finally, the day of the party arrived. Some guests brought presents. Others brought flowers. Some even brought desserts to share. One woman, Mrs. Gilbert, gave Dario’s mother with a book of piano music by Chopin.“I heard you playing the other night,” she said. “The sounds woke me out of bed. I was afraid that you might play like this every night. So I wrote a short note. I hope you don’t think I disliked the playing.”Dario’s mother smiled at Mrs. Gilbert. “I think maybe we should apologize to you.” she said. “I didn’t realize how late it was when we were playing. May be we should play some quieter music at night.“You play, you play!” Mrs. Gilbert said. “I like what you play! Just not so loud at night.” She pointed to the book she had given them. “These songs are not such loud music.”“These songs are beautiful music.” Dario’s mother said. “We will be happy to play them in the evening.”“And we won’t play so loud or late!” Dario said. He was already looking forward to practicing the new music. More than that, however, he was happy to see the big smile on his mothe r’s face.

They did not think people would want to see long movies made from moving drawings. Disney did not agree with them. He believed he could tell any kind of story using animation. His first l 84 movie was Snow White and Seven Dwarfs. Disney spent all his money making this movie. Fortunately, it was a great success. He next made Dumbo, about a baby elephant, and this was f 85 by many more movies. Many of these are still popular today.When we think of Disney, however, we don’t think only of movies, we also think of Disneyland. There are Disney lands in Japan, the USA, France and China (Hong Kong). There will be another one in Shanghai soon. They are large parks where people can meet characters from Disney’s movies and visit scenes from his movies.

Recently there has been a report about a woman from Australia who can remember almost every single d 81 of all the events in her daily life.Rebecca Sharrock, 25, is one of just 80 people worldwide who have been identified as having Highly Superior Autobiographical Memory(超级自传体记忆症). It means she can remember every small event—which most people would f 82 within days—as if it had happened just moments ago.“I remember my mum placing me in the driver’s seat of a car and taking a picture of me when I wastwelve yea rs old,” she said. “That’s my e83 memory. I remember every day since then. I can’t tell all the dates e84 because I was too young to understand calendars, but I remember what I did that day, what the weather was like and so on.”Rebecca can also re-experience taste. If she’s eating something unpleasant, she thinks about Black Forest cake, her favorite food, and the memory will be so p 85 that she can nearly “taste” it.However, there are times when her memories prove to be painful as it’s not just events that she remembers. “When I relive(再体验) memories, the feelings r 86 ,too.” Rebecca said. “For example, I remember falling over when I was three at my grandparents’ house and hurting my left knee. Talking about it now, I feel pai nful in my left knee.”“At night, I have to sleep with the r87 and a soft light on,” she added. “If it’s too dark or quiet, my mind would be filled with all those memories and I can’t sleep.”D. Answer the questions. (12’)It was 3:21 a.m. when ten-year-old Glenn Creamer was woken up by the smell of burning. Except for the cracking(爆裂声) of flames somewhere below, there was not a sound in thetwo-floor house. But he realized at once what was happening.As his father was away on night duty at a local factory, Glenn was worried about the safety of his other, his 14-year-old sister Karen and his 12-year-old brother Todd. He ran downstairs through the smoke-filled house to push and pull at Karen and Todd until they sat up. Then he helped them through the safety of the garden. There, his sister and brother, taking short and quick breaths and coughing, couldn’t move any more.The ten-year-old raced back into the house and upstairs into his mother’s room. He found it impossible to wake her up and there was nobody to help Glenn carry her to the garden. But the boy kept calm. As a fireman said later, “He acted with all the self-control of a trained adult.”On the bedroom telephone, luckily still working, Glenn called his father. After Glenn made sure his father would telephone the firemen and ambulance service, he got on with the task of saving his mother.First he filled a bucket with water from the bathroom and threw water over his mother and her bed. In this way, she would be kept away from the fire before the firemen arrived. Then, with a wet cloth around his head he went back to the garden.He could hear the fire engine coming up, but how would the firemen find his mother in the smoke-filled house where fire had almost covered the ground floor?Fetching a ball of string(绳) from the garage, Glenn raced back into the house and rushed upstairs to his mother’s room. He tied one end of the string to her hand. Then he began to run back. He laid out the string as he went through the hall and back out into the garden.Minutes later he was telling fire Chief John Coughlan, “The string .” Mrs. Creamer was carried to safety as the flames were breaking through her bedroom floor.88. Did Glenn realize there was a fire when he woke up?89. Where were Karen and Todd when Glenn tried to save their mother?90. Who telephoned the firemen and ambulance service?91.

The living room was large enough for their piano. That night, the two of them sat side by side at the piano. They played jazz music to celebrate their new home. The loud music filled the room and made them feel very happy.The next morning,however, their happiness disappeared. Someone had left a note under their door during the night. One of their neighbor had written to complain(抱怨) about the sound of the piano. Dario’s mother asked the building superintendent(治理员) if he knew anything about it. But he said that they were all nice people and he couldn’t imagine any of them had done that. Later that morning, Dario suggested that they write a letter to their neighbors and apologize for their playing.“Maybe we could go and visit everyone in person.〞his mother said.“What if we invited them to come here for a party instead? Dario asked.They both loved the idea. Over the next few days, they sent out invitations and prepared desserts for their guests. They decorated the apartment with streamers(彩带) and party lights.Finally, the day of the party arrived. Some guests brought presents. Others brought flowers. Some even brought desserts to share. One woma n, Mrs. Gilbert, gave Dario’s mother with a book of piano music by Chopin.“I heard you playing the other night,〞she said. “The sounds woke me out of bed. I was afraid that you might play like this every night. So I wrote a short note. I hope you don’t think I disliked the playing.〞Dario’s mother smiled at Mrs. Gilbert. “I think maybe we should apologize to you.〞she said. “I didn’t realize how late it was when we were playing. Maybe we should play some quieter music at night.“You play, you play!〞Mrs. Gilbert said. “I like what you play! Just not so loud at night.〞She pointed to the book she had given them. “These songs are not such loud music.〞“These songs are beautiful music.〞Dario’s mother said. “We will be happy to play them in the evening.〞“And we won’t play so loud or late!〞Dario said. He was already looking forward to practicing the new music. More than that, however, he was happy to see the big smile on his mother’s face. It gave him a feeling of warmth and made him feel that they were home at last.1.How was the jazz music Dario and his mother played one night ?_______________________________________________________________________________ __2.Did Dario and his mother visit their neighbors or write a letter to their neighbors?_______________________________________________________________________________ __3.What did Dario and his mother do to their neighbor later?_______________________________________________________________________________ __4.Who wrote a short note to Dario and his mother?_______________________________________________________________________________ __5.Why did Mrs Gillbert send them a book of piano music by Chopin?_______________________________________________________________________________ __6.What can you learn from the story?

Reading comprehensionA .True or false.Nowadays, one of the most popular kinds of communication on the Internet is through personal Web sites called blogs. Blog is a shortened name for Web log. Anyone can crate his or her own blog and update information to their blogs evry day. A blog may contain stories or pictures, link to other Web sites and get some comments(评价)from visitors. Blogs offer a way to present news or personal information. Blogs have become a place for public expression on many subjects. It is estimated(估计)that there are more than sixty million blogs around the world. People who have blogs are called bloggers. In the united States, many people have blogs. So do many other Americans, including teenagers and college students. Surely, some bloggers are experts in their fields and forever have invaluable contents to offer us. Most of those bloggers are discussing new ideas, hot topics from their life experiences. Nevertheless, even famous bloggers would run out of contents without constant(持续的)learning. This is one reason why many bloggers end up with nothing to write. However, they forget this and think they have unlimited contents just waiting to burst from their brain. Gradually, they fail to own the fresh thoughts.In fact, it applies everywhere: Think you’re successful in your sport? Stop practicing. See what happens. Your English has been improved to the gr eatest possible level, but don’t want to learn something new? You’ll soon be behind others. In today’s society, a degree tellslittle about what you know. It does tell about what you can learn. For instance, t he IT world is constantly changing. Anything learnt today will probably be useless in a few short years. The point is to learn tolearn. Blogging works exactly the same way. Never stop learning, or your blog will close forever one day.71. Everyone can design his or her own blog and add information to their blogs every day.72. Blogs aren’t allowed to connect to the other Web sites through the Internet.73. There are more than six million blogs on many subjects around the world.74. Bloggers like to share their fresh ideas, hot topics and express their personal opinions.75. Without constant learning famous bloggers could still get the contents from their brain.76. In today’s society a degree shows much about what you know.77. People won’t get tired of your blogging if you’re continuously improving your writing.B. Choose the best answer.(根据短文内容,选择最恰当的答案)Out of all of American’s symbols, none has proved more famous than the Statue of Liberty. This giant figure, torch in hand and standing on a stone base, has acted as the American Dre am for a century. It’s worth remembering that the statue is a reminder that the USA is a land of immigrants(移民):indeed it was New York Harbor where the first Europeanimmigrants arrived and ended their journey into the unknown and the hopeful beginning of a new life.The statue, which holds a torch to light the world, was thecreation of the French sculptor Bartholdi, who crafted(精心制作) it a hundred years after the American Revolution. Bartholdi built Liberty in Paris between 1874 and 1884, starting with a model and making it larger four times to its present size. The arm carrying the torch was exhibited in Madison Square Park for seven years, but the whole statue wasn’t officially accepted to stand for the American people until 1884. Then it was taken apart and shipped to New York. Another two years passed before it could be properly open to the public. Money had to be collected to fund(资助) the construction of the base, and for some reason it’s very hard to collect this sum of money. Nevertheless because of the great of a rich man, Joseph Pulitzer, a keen supporter of the statue, raised all the money in the end, and the statue of Liberty was formally displayed by President Cleveland on October 28, 1886. The statue was closed for a few years in the mid-1980s for repairs and, in 1986, fifteen million people gathered on Manhattan for the statue’s centennial celebrations.Today you can climb s teps up to the crown. Don’t be surprised if there’s an hour-long wait to enjoy the journey. Even if there is, Liberty P ark’s views of the lower Manhattan skyline are worth seeing because they are definitely unique.78. The Statue of Liberty is located in __________A. WashingtonB. ParisC. New YorkD. Boston79. The Statue of Liberty can remind people that European immigrants ________A. were good at their craftingB. were the first to discover this landC. looked forward to leading a new lifeD. collected money for the American Revolution80. A(n)_______sculptor created and built the statue in Paris.A. AmericanB. FrenchC. BritishD. Italian81. In which year was the whole statue exhibited to the American people?A. 1874B. 1876C.1884D. 188682.__________ helped fund the construction of the base of the statue.A. President ClevelandB. Manhattan citizensC. The sculptor BartholdiD. Joseph Pulitzer83. The underlined word “centennial” in this passage probably means _______A. a hundred yearsB. eighty yearsC. fifty yearsD. ten years84. From the passage, we can learn _______A. the statue of Liberty wasn’t open to the public during the 1980s.B. the Statue of Liberty has captured most Americans’ hearts.C. the stone base of the statue was shipped to America with other partsD. people can go up to the crown by lift to enjoy the views of New YorkC.

It has been desinged to e 92 more people to cycle in and around central London. So how does it work? First you have to sign up to the project to get a key. The key will unlock one of the bikes, which are kept at parking stations in and around central London. You have to pay for the key and then you pay as you go, according to the l93 of time you use the bike. The organization, Transport for London, runs the project and h94to have 6,000 bikes and 400 parking stations by the end of the year. The new hire system wants to ease congestion (缓解拥堵) in London and is expected to have up to 40,000 extra cycle trips a day into the city centre.London Mayor Boris Johnston started the project and said London used to be a f95 of thousands of shining cars and the project might change the outlook of their streets. However, a few problems have appeared s96 the project was started last Friday. Transport for London admitted they could expect a few small difficulties and allow cyclists not to pay for the first day as a bush. Some people found they could n’t park their bike e97 and nobody recorded their hire time of the bike on the first day. Others aren’t satisfied with the number of the parking stations for th e bikes as well as the price it costs to hire the bicycles. Although the organization has received some complaints, the green-thinking London Mayor still seems very a 98about the Bike HirePlan, saying, “My plan for the capital to become the greatest big cycling city in the world has taken a big step forward.”E. Answer the questions.(根据短文内容回答下列问题)14分The year 2010 is the Expo year which has attracted worldwide attention. As a young volunteer, Alice got her experience by working at a city service station. The service station where she volunteered is located at the New World Tower on Huaihai Zhong Road. Each day, thousands of people passed through this area, including tourists from other Chinese provinces and foreign countries, many of whom were in Shanghai for the first time, many visitors came to the station and asked for information about the Expo.In order to make every customer enjoy the excellent service, Alice and other volunteers designed several paper boards showing the routes from the New World Tower to every Expo entrance as well as the information about the buses connecting to the Expo site. They also made several paper cards to show the Expo ticket offices and the nearby Expo product stores. With these useful tools, Alice has become a Expo expert, offering the most accurate and helpful information for Expo visitors in different languages including Mandarin(普通话),English and Japanese.One day, a family of four people from Wuhan asked her how to get to the China Pavilion reservation(预约) tickets. Based on the location of the hotel where they stayed, Alice worked out a special action plan for them. Since the reservation tickets are given out at all Expo entrances, Alice suggested the family go to Entrance No.3 for the reservation tickets because the number of visitors entering there was smaller. Following her suggestion, the family got the reservation tickets andvisited the China Pavilion happily. The next day, they returned to the service station to express their gratitude(感激) to Alice.Expo volunteering experience has greatly influenced Alice’s life, which will be with her anywhere, anytime. Alice was very proud that she did something for the Expo and for the city. She felt all her hard work was worth it.

She was very excited.The art teacher, Mrs Minton, told the children to paint the flowers in a vase at the front of the class.“Don’t worry if your painting doesn’t look e51．like the painting by the person next to you,“ she said. “The important thing is to paint what you see.”Jenny worked very hard. She spent so long painting that her hand began to h52．from holding the brush. She put the brush down for a moment to rest and looked at the painting next tohers.“That’s really good”, she said to Carrie. Carrie’s painting was small and neat. Every flower was just like the real flowers in the vase.“Thanks,” said Carrie. She looked over at Jenny’s painting. “Oh! What happened to yours?”“What do you mean?” asked Jenny. She looked at her own painting. It was very different from Carrie’s. It covered the whole page and the colors were b53．than the real flowers.“It looks like a big m54．,” said Carrie. “Did you pour the paint?”“No,” said Jenny, upset. “I painted what I saw, just like Mrs Minton said.”“It’s OK, you know,” said Carrie. “Not everyone is good at art.”Mrs Minton heard what Carrie said, and she came over to look at Jenny’s work.“Oh my,” said Mrs Minton. “I think it’s wonderful, Jenny. It’s so full of color and happiness.”Jenny was very s55．.“But Mrs Minton, it doesn’t look anything like the flowers you told us to draw.” Carrie said.“Maybe not to you, Carrie. Everyone sees different things when they look at the world.” She showed them a picture in a book of a painting. “This is a picture an artist painted of his own face. This is how he saw h56．”.“But ... but ... it’s just a few lines,” said Carrie. “It doesn’t look anything like a real person.”Mrs Minton turned to Jenny. “You should read this book. Jenny. There are a lot of different kinds of paintings and one isn’t better than the other.”That evening, Jenny read all about the famous artists. Some of their paintings were very s57．, but she liked to look at them all.“I’m going to be an artist when I grow up,” she said to her mother.2021年上海市杨浦区中考一模英语试题十一、短文汉语提示填空Unless you are one of those rare people with an excellent memory, you probably have trouble remembering the names of people you have just met. This problem can be frustrating（令人沮丧的）and embarrassing. F___51___, there are a number of ways you can overcome this human weakness.Before examining the methods to help remember people’s names, let’s look at the reasons why we are so f___52___ in the first place. Researchers think it’s due to a lack of motivation. People are better at remembering things that they want too learn. To put it simply,you’re just not that i___53___. Another reason is that putting a new face to a name is morecomp licated than we think, which leads to another problem. We usually don’t make the effort tom___54___ new names immediately. Not only that, but when meeting someone new, we may be thinking about other things and not be paying enough attention.All of this means that we need to take measures to avoid the embarrassment of forgetting a person’s name. One good method is to say a person’s name when you g___55___ them and also repeat it silently to yourself a few times. This type of repetition is essential for learning any typeof skill. Using a memory method, such as l___56___ individual names with something else, also helps.
