In Britain, where this festival is called Harv est Festival, people celebrate it earlier in the year, in September.A harvest is the fruit you take from the trees and the crops you take from the groun d. In North America and Britain, harvest time for most fruit and crops is in the autumn. In these countries and other Christian places, people give thanks to God on a special day of the year. They thank God for the good things that have happened during the year an d for the good harvest they have had. People usually take small boxes of fruit, flowers, a nd vegetables to their churches to show their thanks.The first thanksgiving service (仪式) in North America took place on December 4th, 1619 when 38 English people, arrived in America to make their home in the new country. They held this service not to thank God for the harvest, but to thank God for their safe journeys. The next year, many more English people arrived. They had a bad winter, but fortunately the harvest was good. they decided to celebrate it with a big meal. They shot and killed small animals to eat and cooked everything outside on large fires. About 90 In dians also came to the meal. Everyone ate at tables outside their houses and played game s together. The festival lasted three days.A Thanksgiving Day celebration was held every year for a long time, but not always on the same day of the year. Then, in 1789, President George Washington named Nove mber 26th as the Day of Thanksgiving. In 1863, President Abraham Lincoln changed the date, and said that the last Thursday in November should be Thanksgiving Day.Nowadays, North Americans around the world get together with their families on this day to eat good food and have a happy time.1.Is Thanksgiving Day celebrated on the same day in North American countries?2.When did the first thanksgiving service take place in North America?3.Who made the last Thursday in November Thanksgiving Day in the USA?4.What does the word “fortunately” mean in Chinese?5.Translate the sentence "They thank God for the good things that have happened d uring the year and for the good harvest they have had." into Chinese.(3)Reading for pleasure is the easiest way to become a better reader in English.

2012年上海中考英语一模试题汇编之阅读理解【静安区】When we are talking about afternoon tea, what would you think of? A cup of tea, a piece of cake and a good mood, what a good enjoyment! But do you know how comes the afternoon tea?We should thank for a lady, who had created the custom of afternoon tea in 1840. She was Anna. At that time, people of upper class usually had supper at around 8 o’clock in the evening. But Anna began to feel hungry at round 4 in the afternoon. This had left her a good long time of 4 hours. Therefore, she told the servant to bring a tray of bread, butter and cakes to her room during the afternoon. It became a habit of hers. Soon, she invited her friends to join her.After Anna started enjoying the afternoon tea, women of the rich did the same in their homes and it later became a fashionable social event, giving a chance for people to meet new friends and get news or new stories.The traditional afternoon tea usually contains a teapot of tea, several teacups and cakes. English tea is mainly India, which was originally transported by the East India Company.Today, afternoon tea has been simplified(精简的) because of the change of lifestyle. People use tea bags instead of tea leaves. Cakes are no longer as various as those long time ago. They usually are some pieces of biscuits or cakes.But if you want to experience a real English afternoon tea, I would advise you to go to Devonshire, where produces good cream and famous cream tea.74.

He played the guitar for school parties. He wrote songs and sang for his teachers and friends. They liked his songs. His first music album(唱片集) Brushfire Fairytales came out in 2001.

Recent surveys shows that most students in middle schools have a micro blog and some even update their blogs over five times per day."We learn many fresh and interesting things on micro blogs and they have become popular topics in class," said Andy Liang, 14. "If you do not know about them, you are out of the loop."It is also a great place for students to let out stress.

Some misleading messages may even cause danger to kids, they said.Mr. Shen, a professor at the China Education Association, suggests parents not worry too much as long as kids are not crazy about micro blogging.

Her husband, who was a musician, had died, and left her very poor indeed.The businessman saw that the widow and her daughter, who was with her, were in great distress. He looked with pity into their pale faces, and was sure that their sad story was true.'How much do you want, my good woman?' said the businessman.'Five dollars will save us,' said the poor widow, with some hesitation, after she thought for a few seconds.The businessman sat down at his desk, took a piece of paper, wrote a few lines on it, and gave it to the widow with the words, 'Take it to the bank you see on the other side of the street.'The widow thanked the man, and then quickly walked to the bank with her daughter, without stopping to read the note. The banker at once counted out fifty dollars instead of five, and passed them to the widow.She was amazed when she saw so much money. 'Sir, there is a mistake here,' she said. 'You have given me fifty dollars, and I asked for only five.'The banker looked at the note once more, and said, 'The check calls for fifty dollars.'The banker then asked her to wait a few minutes, while he went to see the businessman who gave her the note.'Yes,' said the businessman, when he had heard the banker's story, 'I did make a mistake.

Oh, you’ve got the flu! Late autumn and early winter is flu season. The flu is annoying. It takes weeks to get over. It prevents us from concentrating (集中注意) in class and having fun on the playground. So can we do anything to prevent it?Can exercise help our body fight off a cold or flu? This is a good question, but not easy to answer. There isn’t any research addressing this question. There was one small study among college students. But it did not show any difference in the body’s response (反应) to flu vaccine (流感疫苗) between students who exercised and those who did not. Exercise at the start of a cold or flu is unlikely to change the course of the illness.On the other hand, a person who exercises often will be in better physical condition. They will be more energetic. They may sleep more soundly and therefore be better rested, and may feel happier and less stressed by a cold or flu. So regular exercise is likely to help a person fight off colds and the flu.Because the flu and colds are caused by viruses, frequent hand-washing, keeping your hands away from your face, and avoiding contact with infected (被感染的) people will all help to prevent infection. Smoking makes a person more easily infected by viruses, so avoiding smoke is another way to be protected.74. _______________is flu season.A) Early spring and late autumn B) Late autumn and early winterC) Early autumn and late winter D) Late winter and early spring75.

A salary of $ 400,000, along with otherb enefits, is paid to the President annually. But President Obama’s income for 2008 was far more than that, according to the White House.The White House recently published the tax returns (纳税申报单)of Obama and Vice –president Joe Biden. Tax returns are reports of tax that a person has to pay. They often include income information used to calculate the tax. In the US, people whose incomes are over a certain amount have to file tax returns(纳税申报)every year. The tax returns of government officials are open to the public. This transparency helps to prevent corruption(腐败)。

2012中招复习英语专项训练（三）(阅读理解)（一）With the development of science, more and more students don't like taking dotes by hand. Instead, they use digital (数码的)cameras to take pictures of the words that their teachers write on the blackoard or record what their teachers say in class.The children might think there are too many notes to take or their teachers write or speak so fast that they can't take more specific notes. They are trying to find ways to make things easier, so they use digital cameras. In fact, children are very clever to make use of technology (技术).But do digital cameras really make taking notes easier?Not really. Before you read notes from digital cameras, there are a lot of things you have to do. To begin with，you have to find a computer．Then you need to copy the photos into the computer．Next，you have to find a printer(打印机)to print the photos．Another thing is that you can’t hear the sound from the digital cameras clearly because there iS usually lors of noise.You will have to listen to it slowly several times before you understand everything．In fact,taking notes by hand has many advantages. For example，it can help you remember and understand what you are learning．In order to save time，you can choose the most important things or the things you don’t understand to write down．Yo u don’t have to write down everything.Don’tbe afraidtotake notesby hand．It’s really an effective(有效的)way．根据材料内容选择最佳答案，并将其标号填入题前括号内．( )1.

When I arrived in Thailand, I thought I would be taken to an orphanage(孤儿院). However, I was told that I had to go to the place where I would live by train alone. And then I knew that my job was to teach English in a school instead of working at an orphanage.The next day I went to the school and met the kids I would teach. In the classroom, the kids looked at me, saying nothing. No one could speak English, but from their eyes, . I knew they were really nervous to learn English. It seemed like a big challenge for me, but that was just what I wanted.Although I loved the kids and the challenge, my life in Thailand was quite hard at first. I was alone and there was nobody I could talk to. However，I didn't give up. If I had been afraid of difficulties, I wouldn't have traveled all the way from England to Thailand to be a volunteer. Little by little, I learned some Thai (泰国语) and started to fall in love with Thailand. Every time I saw the kids' pleasure of learning English, I was happy and felt that what I was doing was really worthwhile.Now I'm working in a hospital in Thailand. If you also want to be a volunteer like me, don't worry too much about the food or the place where you live. After all, as a volunteer, the most important thing is to help people who need help!根据材料内容选择最佳答案。

浙江中考英语专项突破：阅读理解（20篇）含答案Playing video games can be a fun way to spend time with friends. In some schools, teachers use games like Minecraft to encourage teamwork and communication.But for some players, gaming is an unhealthy habit. They stay up late playing games. They do little or no homework. They give up other hobbies and pay little attention to their families and friends. The video-game world seems a friendlier place than the real one.Mental（精神的）health experts（专家）have taken notice. The World Health Organization(WHO) listed “ gaming disorder（电玩失调症）” as a disease（疾病）last year. A person may have the disorder if gaming has done harm to his or her relationships with family and friends. and if it has influenced his or her daily activities.Not all experts agree that over-gaming should be called a disorder. They say people who spend too much time on video games may develop other mental health problems. These should be treated first.Others think WHO did the right thing. Clifford Sussman is a doctor who treats gaming addiction (瘾). He says those kids often get angry easily and it makes everything difficult for them to complete, like schoolwork.Sussman advises tracking（跟球）how long you play. He says you should take at least an hour-long break after every hour of play. The brain needs time to recover（恢复）.Young gamers who think they might have a problem should ask an ad（成年人）for help．Sussman suggests you first answer a simple question: “Are you in control, or is the game in control?”1．The writer develops his idea in Paragraph 2 by .A．giving some examples B．using an expert ’s opinionC．describing his personal habits D．introducing the result of a survey2．The underlined word " it " in Paragraph 3 refers to “ ”.A．gaming B．a diseaseC．gaming disorder D．a video game3．According to Sussman, kids with gaming addiction .A．have grown in number these yearsB．should be treated as early as possibleC．often have trouble doing lots of thingsD．may have different mental health problems4．By answering Sussman s question, we may knowA．what gaming addiction is B．if we have gaming addictionC．how to fight gaming addiction D．why to fight gaming addictionMany children spend a lot of time watching or playing with electronic media –from televisions to video games, computers and other devices（设备）.So, it is natural that parents should wonder about the time children spend looking at a TV or computer screen. Americans say “screen time” when they talk about any time children spend in front of an electronic device.Perhaps parents can stop worrying so much about screen time, at least for older boys and girls. In October 2016, the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) listed several suggestions for parents and child care workers. Here are some of the suggestions.Avoid digital media use in children younger than 18 to 24 months.For children aged 18-24 months, avoid letting the child watch media alone. And avoid using media as a way to comfort your child.For children two to five years of age, allow one-hour screen time on “high-quality（质量）programming” a day and watch it with your child.For children aged 6 and older, don’t spend too much time using media.

How did that happen? Susan Fletcher remembers wondering when she first read a history of the Royal Menagerie（皇家动物园）at the Tower of London.Fletcher knew she wanted to write about that bear, but she also knew she would have to do a lot of research. The bear lived more than 750 years ago, during the medieval（中世纪的）period in Europe.Fletcher loves digging around in the past, though. Most of her 12 books have been set in "times long ago and far away". And most include animal characters, both real and imaginary. Journey of the Pale Bear took five years to research and write, because there were so few facts about the bear, its keeper and their travels. Fletcher imagined the keeper as a 12-year-old boy named Arthur. In the novel, Arthur and a polar bear travel from Norway to England in 1252.Writing the book was also a journey for Fletcher. She started it in Portland, Oregon, but finished it about 2,000 miles away, when she married the historian in Texas who was helping with her research.Like her character Arthur. Fletcher leamed much about polar bears by spending time with them. Thanks to a special invitation from the curator（负责人）of the Oregon Zoo, Fletcher had a chance to closely watch two polar bears. Neville, Fletchers dog, also helped Fletcher better understand how humans and animals might communicate without words. Being with Nevillegave Fletcher ideas about how Arthur and the bear might relate to each other.The most exciting part of the research, though, was a visit to the Tower of London. There Fletcher saw the Thames River, where the real bear swam and caught fish.8．What is the first paragraph mainly about?A．How Fletcher got the idea for her book.B．Fletcher 's first time seeing a polar bear.C．Fletcher 's first visit to the Royal Menagerie.D．How Fletcher fell in love with the Thames River.9．What can we learn about Fletcher s research journey?A．It started in London B．It was full of dangerC．It took her nearly 12 years D．It covered about 2.000 miles10．What did the curator of the Oregon Zoo do for Fletcher?A．He joined her in doing researchB．He invited her to work in the zoo.C．He allowed her to watch two polar bears closely.D．He gave her ideas on human-animal communication.11．What was the most exciting part of Fletcher’s research?A．Working with a historian.B．A visit to the Oregon Zoo.C．Spending time with Neville.D．A visit to the Tower of London.Rene was born in an Indian village in Oaxaca, Mexicon.

People often use it to describe very active children. But today we tell about an invention called the soccket, that is a real soccer ball of energy. Julia Silverman explains that in fact the soccket is a portable generator(便携式发电机).Julia Silverman and Jessica Matthews developed the soccket as part of a group project for an engineering class at Harvard University.There are mechanisms(装置) in a soccket. When you kick, hit or throw it, energy is then kept in it by these mechanisms instead of disappearing into the environment.Then the user can put something directly into the ball, like a lamp, or a mobile phone charger so that they can get energy from it.For every fifteen minutes of the game play, the soccket can provide enough electricity(电) for an LED lamp for three hours, and the ball can store(储藏) up to 24 hours’ electricity.The International Energy Association reported last year that nearly one and a half billion people in the world had no electricity to use, and most of them live in sub-Saharan Africa and in India and other countries in Asia.Julia Silverman and Jessica Matthews both had experiences in developing countries before they began the project. They knew that power shortages are a serious problem in really areas.There’s an energy crisis in the world. One out of every five people in the world don’t have any electricity. And besides that, there are a lot of health problems because what people use instead of the electricity are harmful choices like kerosene(煤油) lamps, which produce a lot of smoke.Julia Silverman says the soccket ball is one small solution(解决方法) to a big problem.Jessica Matthews and Julia Silverman hope their soccket ball will shine more light on the problem of power shortages. It offers people a chance to put their energy into the world’s most popular sport and get some energy in return.18．From the passage, we know the soccket is ________.A．an active child B．an invention C．a lamp D．a mobile phone19．If you play the soccket for half an hour, it can provide an LED lamp with electricity for ________.A．fifteen minutes B．half an hour C．six hours D．three hours20．The underlined word ＂crisis＂in the passage means ________.A．a time of safety B．a time of difficulty C．a time of success D．a time of pride21．We can infer(推断) from the passage that ________.A．Julia Silverman has never been to developing countries beforeB．Active children like to play soccketC．kicking a soccket can let the energy disappear into the environmentD．people are expected to get some energy by playing soccket22．The best title for the passage should be ＂________＂.A．The only way to produce electricity B．The best way to solve energy crisisC．A soccer ball that gives energy D．An invention changing the worldAll over the world the need for more laptops and computers increases each year. Networks have been part of our life. Probably everyone with a portable device (移动设备) has once logged on to a public WiFi network without paying for it, while they are having a coffee, on a train, in a shopping mall or at a hotel. However, is this kind of public WiFi network safe?Some networks are better protected than others because encryption (加密) methods are used. Therefore, they are safer than others. But a survey in 2015 showed that more than 950 million records were not protected, including addresses, emails, birth dales, phone numbers, passwords and so on. These open WiFi networks are really not safe, because it is very easy for hackers to break into the operating system and get people's private information.Most smartphones and laptops, by themselves, search and connect to WiFi networks. They usually prefer a network with a connection that has been used before. Hackers' devices are able to record these searches and look like the trusted WiFi networks. When these smartphones and laptops log on to the networks which are not real, hackers can easily steal their private information.So next time, when we want to use our laptops or our smartphones in public places which offer free WiFi networks，please think it twice or take safe measures before using them.23．We can learn from the passage that______.A．not all the public WiFi networks are safe B．none of the public WiFi networks is safeC．in 2015 more than 950 million records were protected D．there is no way to protect our private information 24．Hackers would probably get the following EXCEPT_______when we connect our laptops or smartphones to a public WiFi network.A．our birth dates B．our passwordsC．our phone numbers D．our smartphones25．Which of the following can be the best title of this passage?A．Don't Use Public WiFi Networks B．Why the Public WiFi Networks a Possible DangerC．We Needn't Protect Our Private Information D．Why Hackers Break into the Operating SystemA great number of people in the world have never seen snow.Others see more of it than they want to. Hail is much more common; it happens even in deserts.Hail is a small round ball of alternating layers(交互层) of snow and clear ice. It forms inside large dark clouds that you can see before or during a storm. There are two ideas about how hailstones from.One idea shows that hail forms when drops of water freeze in the upper air.As they fall, they collect more drops of water. They also collect snow. The ice and snow build up in layers. If you cut a hailstone, you can see these alternating layers.The other idea says that hail starts as a raindrop. The wind carries it higher into the atmosphere(大气层), where it gets covered by snow. It becomes heavy and begins to fall. As it falls, it gets a layer of water, which freezes.Then the wind carries it back to the snow area, and it gets another layer of snow. This can happen a number of times. Finally the hailstone is too heavy to travel on the wind, and it falls to the ground.Only a thunderstorm(暴风雨), a storm with loud noises and lightning can produce hail, but very few of them do. Perhaps only one in 400 thunderstorms creates hailstones.A hailstone is usually less than eight centimeters in diameter. However, hailstones can be much bigger than that. Sometimes they are as big as baseballs. The largest hailstone which people have ever recorded weighed over 680 grams and had a diameter of thirteen centimeters.Hail can cause the death of plants, especially since hail usually appears in the middle of summer, when the plants are partly grown. If the crops are destroyed, it is too late to plant more, and the farmer has lost everything. In one terrible hailstorm in 1923 in Rostov, in Ukraine, twenty-three people and many farm animals were killed.26．Which of the following is about HAIL?A．B．C．D．27．According to the passage, which of the following is the fact about hail?A．Hail is formed of snow and ice. B．Hail can’t be found in desert any more.C．Hail often comes in cold winter. D．People can see snow more often than hail.28．What does the underlined word “them” in the fifth paragraph refer to?A．Noises. B．Hailstones. C．Thunderstorms. D．Deserts.29．What do farmers most probably think of hail according to the last paragraph?A．Unusual. B．Common. C．Useful. D．Terrible.30．What’s the passage mainly about?A．Different ideas about how hail forms. B．A brief introduction about hail.C．The size and the weight of hailstones. D．The influence that hail causes.Once there was a piano player in a bar(酒吧). People came just to hear him play. But one night, a lady asked him to sing a song.“I don’t sing,” said the man.But the lady told the waiter, “I’m tired of listening to the piano. I want the player to sing!”The waiter shouted across the room, “Hey, friend! If you want to get paid, sing a song!”So he did. He had never sung in public before. Now he was singing for the very first time! Nobody had ever heard the song Mona Lisa sung so beautifully!He had talent(天赋) he was sitting on! He may have lived the rest of his life as a no-name piano player in a no-name bar. But once he found, by accident, that he could sing well, he went on working hard and became one of the best-known singers in the US. His name was Nat King Cole.You, too, have skills and abilities. You may not feel that your talent is great, but it may be better than you think. With hard work, most skills can be improved.

His enemies were searching for him. All around him were grassy hills without trees. He had nowhere to hide. How could he escape?Hannay walked along the country for a long time. Then he saw a road worker, who was working alone, fixing the road. Hannay could see the road worker was not feeling well. Hannay came up to him and said “How are you?”“My head hurts,” the worker said, “I can’t do it. I want to go home to bed. My daughter got married yesterday, and I drank a lot of wine with my friends. That’s the problem!”Hannay agreed that he should be home in bed.“Yes, and I would be,” he replied,”but yesterday I received a message saying that the new surveyor was coming to look at my work. If he comes and finds me away, I’ll be in trouble.”Suddenly Hannay had bright idea--he could act as the road worker and get away from his enemies.“You go off to bed,” Hannay said,”I’ll do your job until the new surveyor comes.”The road worker was pleased with this idea. He gave Hannay his hat and his old coat. Then he went home to sleep and perhaps to drink a bit more. Hannay put on the worker’s hat and coat and began to fix the road. About an hour later he heard a voice.“Are you the road worker?” it asked.It was the new surveyor. He was a young man with a clean face. He sat in a small car.Hannay said yes. The surveyor told him about some work he wanted him to do before he came by again and drove off. Hannay continued with his work.Then a village boy came by.”What has happened to the road worker?” he asked.“He stayed at home today,” Hannay replied.”He’s sick.”At about midday, a large car came down the hill and stopped near Hannay. Three man got out of the car. Hannay’s heart beat fast. He knew his enemies were coming...36．What is this passage probably taken from?A．A history book.B．A travel book.C．A novel D．A science book.37．Why was the road worker feeling ill?A．He had a cold.B．He hadn’t eaten all day.C．He had been working all day.D．He drank too much at his daughter’s wedding.38．Who did NOT come by while Hannay was working on the road，A．The surveyor.B．The road worker’s daughter.C．Hannay’s enemies.D．A village boy.39．What can we infer (推断)from the story?A．Hannay helped the road worker because he was warm-hearted.B．The grassy hills were a perfect hiding place for Hannay.C．The surveyor had lot of working experience.D．The village boy knew the road worker.40．What is the correct order of the story，①Hannay met a road worker who was not feeling well and offered to take over for him.②Hannay was worried because his enemies were following him.③A car stopped near Hannay and three men got out.④Hannay acted as the road worker when the surveyor came by.⑤The village boy wondered what had happened to the road worker.A．②→①→④→⑤→③B．②→①→④→③→⑤C．①→④→②→⑤→③D．①→④→②→③→⑤D①Supermarkets only sell food before its “sell-by” date. So where does food past its “sell-by” date go? The answer is in the trash bin. Besides shops, people also cast away a lot of food when they buy too much and can’t eat it up. To stop food waste, people have come up with great ideas. Take a look and try to join the action!②Set up food banks. When we have extra money, we save it in banks. This idea made people think. Could they set up “banks” for food? The world’s first food bank started in the US in 1967. Many other countries, including China, have caught up with this great idea. For example, Shanghai has recently made a “share fridge”. It stores cakes and canned food donated (捐赠) from nearby markets and restaurants. It’s free for anyone to enjoy.③Pay as you feel. The Real Junk Food Project is a company in the UK. It says that food past its “sell-by” date could still be OK to eat. So they collect it from supermarkets, and put it on shelves (货架) in special cafes. There, the food has no price label (标签). You can give as much money as you want. If you don’t want to spend money, you can help do some work there. There are now 125 Real Junk Food cafes worldwide. And the number is growing quickly.④Buy less. When there’s no food bank around, what can we do to help stop food waste? In two words: Buy less. Dining halls in more than half of US colleges are going tray-less (无托盘). It makes it harder for students to take too much. This small change brings a big difference. It reduces food waste by 25 to 30 percent, and saves water and energy because there are no trays to wash.41．The underlined words “cast away” in Paragraph 1 probably means _____.A．put away B．take away C．give away D．throw away42．Which of the following is true according to the article?A．People need to pay for food from “share fridge”.B．Dining without trays helps to reduce food waste and save water.C．Fifty percent of American restaurants are going tray-less.D．The food in the Real Junk Food Project is free for anyone.43．How does the writer organize the writing，A．B．C．D．44．What’s the main purpose of the writing?A．To show how important the food bank is.B．To introduce some ways of stopping food waste.C．To ask people to buy food past its “sell-by” date.D．To discuss where the food past its “sell-by” date goes.Bobby was preparing to go to bed one night when he heard a shrill screech(尖叫) coming from the barn(牲口棚) outside. What could be making such a loud noise so late in the evening? He had trouble falling asleep and turned all night long dreaming about the noisy monster in the barn. When Bobby woke the next morning, he ran to the barn to discover what caused the loud noise last night. Bobby was baffled. He could not figure out what would make such a noise. That evening after dinner, Bobby gathered his courage, held a flashlight and headed out to the barn.“Where are you going?” Bobby’s father asked as Bobby made his way through the kitchen to the back door.“I am going to find the monster in the barn that was making such a noise last night,” Bobby replied bravely.“If you are going to look for a monster, you might need some help,” Bobby’s dad responded as he walked with Bobby out to the barn.“What did this monster sound like?” Bobby’s dad asked.“It was a screeching noise,” Bobby said, “and it was coming from the barn. I know it!” Bobby’s dad began to smile as they went near the barn, and he took the flashlight from Bobby. Shining the flashlight up at the roof of the barn, Bobby and his dad saw a small brown owl in the roof.“It was only a barn owl that you heard last night,” Bobby’s dad said. “They are active in the night so that is why you only heard him at night. He must have been hunting.”Bobby was relieved that it wasn’t really a monster. He thanked his dad as they walked back to the house. As they reached the door they heard a loud screech and looked up just in time to see the barn owl flying away into the night sky.45．The noise Bobby heard the first night was_______________.A．the barn owl flying B．the barn owl screechingC．a monster in the barn D．the barn owl building a nest46．What do you think the underlined word “baffled” in Paragraph 5 probably mean?A．勇敢B．疑惑C．自信D．害羞47．This passage is mostly about _______________.A．dreaming about the noisy monstersB．a father and son going hunting in the barnC．learning about different types of owlsD．discovering the source of a strange sound48．What would probably be the best title for this passage?A．The Monster in the Barn B．The Horse in the BarnC．Father and Son D．Bobby’s DadOn Feb 21, a special Chinese “diplomat (外交官)”, Bao Bao the panda, arrived in China from the United States.Many people in the US found it hard to say goodbye to her and were at the airport to see her leave.Bao Bao was born at the National Zoo in Washington DC in 2013. Her parents are Tian Tian and Mei Xiang. They went to the US in 2000. “We have watched Bao Bao grow up during the past three years,” said Dennis Kelly, the zoo director. “We’re going to miss her so much.”In fact, the zoo has been preparing for Bao Bao to leave since the moment she was born. That’s because under the agreement between China and other countries, all the pandas born outside China must return home by the time they are four years old.The flight took nearly 16 hours. A zookeeper and a doctor were on the plane together with Bao Bao. To make her comfortable, the zoo put bamboo and other snacks on the plane. Now, Bao Bao is at her new home in Chengdu. She will start a new life there.Back to 1972, China first sent two pandas to the US as gifts. Right now, four zoos in the US have pandas from China. The pandas play an important role in the friendship between the two countries.Of course the US is not the only country with pandas. There were 44 pandas living in different countries around the world last year, reported Xinhua.49．The people in the US _________ when Bao Bao left the US.A．didn’t mind her at all B．missed her so muchC．didn’t want to say goodbye D．bought her some gifts50．What’s the agreement about the pandas between China and other countries?A．All pandas born outside China must move to another city after they were born.B．All pandas born outside China must return to China at the age of four.C．The country where the pandas were born must offer good living condition for them.D．The country where the pandas were born must protect them from danger carefully.51．China sends two pandas to the US _________.A．to make them comfortable and happy B．to help them start a new life in USC．to help the US zoos have more pandas D．to be a gift and symbol of friendship52．This passage might come from _________.A．a newspaper B．a poster C．a story book D．a guide book。

全句的意思是：“会议从开始到结束将持续整整一个星期。
”句中by the time it ends 表示动作要延续到将来某一时刻，因此要用将来完成时。
答案是B) will have lasted。
如果选A)，因为情态动词must 后面接动词不定式的完成时形式表示对已经发生的事情的一种肯定推测，而本句的时间状语是by the time it ends 而非by the time it ended，所以犯了时态不呼应的错误。
Would虽可以表示推测或可能性，但would last不能表示延续到将来某一时刻的动作，所以C) would last错误。
阅读C篇训练一（2012朝阳一模）CWhen I moved to the country 20 years ago, I took a job as a school bus driver. I’d never had any interest in driving schoolchildren to and from school, but 10 years later, I was still working on the school bus.There are so many good reasons why I stayed. Firstly, it was the conversations that brought me different kinds of information. I also got to hear all the family secrets of the newcomers who were afraid to be starting at a new school. I have a toy bear who was a great comforter for the little ones. The kids got to look after him on the trip to school and he waited patiently for them to get on for the trip home.Our bus would often pass a place where we could see some alpacas (羊驼) in front of a farm house. Little Michael would cry excitedly from the seat, ―Look, Miss! Look at the camels!‖ He used to put his head out of the bus window. When I warned him that a fly would come into his nose if he wasn’t careful, he sm artly gave up the habit.I remember a little girl got on the bus one morning 5 years ago and cried loudly all the way to school. We arrived at the school gate. As she waited to get down the bus stairs, she threw her arms around my neck and sobbed (抽泣) that her grandfather had died the night before.A school bus driver needs to keep one eye on the road and the other on the mirror to watch what the little ones are doing down the back. My catchphrase (口头禅) each day was that I was ―taking the monsters (怪兽) to t heir mothers‖.Now, it’s necessary to think how many lives I’ve been responsible for throughout the years, and how many kilometers I’ve driven in order to get my passengers home safely. I’ve enjoyed it, but after 20 years, it’s time to rest and park my sch ool bus for good. Long live the school bus driver!53. When did the writer begin to be a school bus driver?A. 5 years ago.B. 10 years ago.C. 20 years ago.D. 30 years ago.54. The writer enjoyed her job because ______.A. driving was her hobbyB. children made her valuableC. drivers were paid wellD. she liked the environment55. What is the writer’s future plan?A. She decides to give up the job.B. She tries to go on driving.C. She wants to have a holiday.D. She hopes to have more kids.阅读C篇训练二（2012东城一模）CFlorida school children chose the panther as the state animal.What is the Florida panther?Florida panthers are a type of mountain lion. The Florida panther is the only group of mountain lions east of the Mississippi River. The panther stands for beauty and power of life.Is the Florida panther endangered?In 1967 the government listed the Florida panther as endangered. Endangered means thatwithout human help an animal or plant will become extinct. Extinct means that the animal or plant will never again stay alive on earth.What do Florida panthers look like?Panthers are about 10 times as big as a housecat. Like all cats they have very sharp claws and teeth. They need sharp claws and teeth to kill and eat their food. Florida panthers are tawny (the same color as deer). The fur on their bellies and the inside of their legs is lighter, and the fur on their backs, tails, and legs is darker. These are Florida panther paw prints:Front pawLength: 3 inchesWidth: 3.5 inchesHind pawLength: 3 inchesWidth: 3 inchesWhat do Florida panthers eat?Panthers only eat meat. Panthers eat deer, wild hogs, raccoons, armadillos, and rabbits. Sometimes they eat birds and even alligators. No panther has ever even killed a person.What kinds o f families do panthers have?Panther females and kittens make up the panther family. The father does not help take care of the kittens. Panthers may have from 1 to 4 kittens. Panthers leave their mothers when they are about 2 years old. Growing up is harder for boy panthers than girl panthers. Girls often stay near their mother. Boys must try to find a home range of their own.Where do Florida panthers live?Panthers need lots of land. The area where a panther hunts is its home range. They prefer hardwood hammocks and pine forest with lots of palmettos for their range. Panthers usually rest during the day hidden in thickets of palmetto. At dusk they begin to travel and hunt. Unless you are very lucky, you will probably never see a panther in the wild. But you can help them by protecting the lands they need to keep alive. Y ou can support efforts to recover the panther from being endangered.53. Which of the following looks like the panther most?A. B. C. D.54. The underlined word ―extinct‖ means ―________‖.A. deadB. braveC. brightD. natural55. The panther was chosen as the state animal mainly because ______.A. No panther has ever even killed a person.B. The panther is beautiful and full of energy.C. People will never see a panther in the wild.D. Panthers leave their mothers at an early age.56. How do people protect the panther in Florida?A. They take panthers to the zoo.B. They give panthers enough meat.C. They keep the land safe for panthers.D.

He is on the rush for news all the time, then after several years he may get a desk job, and life becomes a bit more settled. Let’s look at his work a little more closely. In a day he may have to interview the president of a foreign country, and the next day he may be writing about a football match. Sometimes he may be so busy that he has hardly any time to sleep. And at other times he may go on for days looking out for news materials yet return empty-handed.In the beginning, a reporter has to cover a very wide field. After the early years he becomes more specialized in his work. For example, he may finally be asked to write only politics or sports. Some reporters may become so specialized that they are asked only to write on a special thing:horse racing, for example. In most newspaper houses there is at least one special racing correspondent(通讯记者、特派员). Some newspapers have book reviews. Their job is to make people pleasant. They read the latest book and then write reviews on the ones they like. Then there are those who write on films, so they get to see them even before they are shown in the cinema. How lucky, you would say!A reporter’s job can also be very dangerous. A number of them have died rushing from one task to another, and if there is a flood or a riot(暴乱) they may get hurt or even be killed. Three years ago there was a reporter whose camera was destroyed by a group of men, because they were angry with him for taking their picture. Dangerous or not, one thing is certain, and that is, their job is never boring!53. Reporters who write on films are said to be lucky because they _____.A. can write anything they like because the film stars like themB. can see the films before most people see them in the cinemaC. can pay less than other people because they know the film starsD. can see more film stars before most people see them in the cinema54. A reporter’s work can be dangerous when _____.A. there is a flood or a riotB. he is seeing a frightening filmC. there is a football matchD. he is interviewing the president55. From the passage we can infer that, to be a good reporter, he must be all of the following except _____.A. braveB. strongC. quick in mindD. good at writing阅读C篇训练五（2012密云一模）CIn every country, there are thousands of people who want to help out. Many join organizations run (管理) by their governments, for example, the Peace Corps in the United States and V oluntary Service Overseas in Britain. Since the powerful (猛烈的) earthquake took place in Sichuan, more than 200 thousand volunteers across China have been helping there! They do all kinds of work or come up with ways to help improve life. Some offer their professional skills for free. Others have no qualifications (资历), but they love to work hard to help.One of the most famous volunteers in the world was Mother Teresa. She could be the best volunteer because she gave her life to helping the poorest people of Calcutta. She helped the homeless, cared for the sick, gave out food, and became the mother of those without families.Now more and more teenagers actively look for volunteering opportunities, too. They volunteer because they think it will be fun or they will learn something. They also like the idea of being helpful to others, even if it is just handing out books for the teacher. As they get older, these reasons are still the same, but there are other important reasons for volunteering such as learning on-the-job, getting work experience, and improving their social life.All volunteers bring joy to the people they help in so many ways. They might read books to the blind, fix up broken homes, find ways to get water for villages. Could you be a volunteer? What kind of volunteer work could you do? There is someone in the world who needs you.53. The Peace Corps is in the United States.A. a cityB. an organizationC. a volunteerD. a school54.

Though I love these devices(装置) of technology, I know that there are times when I need to move away from them and truly communicate with others.I teach history in a high school. My goals for the class include a full discussion of historical themes(主题) and ideas. Because I want students to thoroughly study the material and share their ideas with each other in the classroom. I have a rule---no computers, iPads, phones, etc. When students were told my rule before class, some of them were not happy at all.Most students think that my reasons for this rule include unpleasant experiences in the past with students misusing technology. There’s a bit of truth to that. Some students believe that I am anti-technol ogy. There’s no truth in that at all. I love technology and try to keep up with it so I can relate to my students.The real reason why I ask students to leave technology at the door is that I think there are very few places in which we can have deep conversations. Interruptions(打断) by technology often break concentration and allow for too much dependence on outside information for ideas. I want students to dig deep within themselves for ideas. I want them to push each other to think differently and to make connections between the course material and the class discussion.I’ve been teaching my history class in this way for many years and students realize that with deep conversation, they learn at a level that helps them keep the course material beyond the classroom.I’m not saying that I won’t ever change my mind about technology use in my history class, but until I hear a really good reason for the change. A few hours of technology-free dialogue is just too sweet to give up.53. What’s the second paragraph ma inly about?A. The reasons why students should use computers or iPads in class.B. The advantages of using cell phones and computers in the classroom.C. What the writer is trying to do and what rule has been made in class.D. A new learning style that the teacher enjoys using in history class.54. According to the writer, the use of technology in the classroom may _____.A. improve teaching and offer more helpB. allow students to get on well with each otherC. help students concentrate on what they learnD. keep students from making deep conversations55. What can we infer from the passage?A. The teacher will carry on the success in the future.B. The teacher will have to cancel the rule in class.C. Some students will be punished according to the rule.D. More and more students will be absent in history class.阅读C篇训练七（2012丰台一模）CDO you have a lucky number? What is it? Manypeople have a special number that they hope willbring them good luck.In Chinese culture, some numbers are believed tobe lucky or unlucky based on the Chinese word thatthe number sounds similar to.For example, the word for the number 8 soundssimilar to the word for ―making a fortune‖. So, people consider it a very lucky number. Some people will even spend a lot of money to have 8s in their phone numbers or vehicle license plate (车牌照) numbers. The opening ceremony of the Beijing Olympics began at 8:08 p.m. on August 8, 2008.The number 9 is also a lucky number because of its connection to the emperors of China. There were nine dragons on emperors’ robes (龙袍) and Chinese myth held that the dragon has nine children. The number 9 also stands for ―long lasting‖. That’s why a man always proposes to a woman with 99 or 999 roses.So what’s a ―bad luck‖ number in China? It might be 4. Many Chinese people see 4 as a ―bad luck‖ number because it sounds similar to the character for ―death‖.Because of this, many buildings skip the fourth floor, and simply call it the fifth floor. In Hong Kong, some buildings even skip all floors numbered with 4, such as, 4, 14, 24, 34 and all 40-49 floors. Some buildings also skip the 13th floor, as this is considered an unlucky number in many Christian countries. As a result, a building whose highest floor is 50 may have only 35 physical floors.53. How do lucky or unlucky numbers come in Chinese culture?They come mostly of __.A. people’s hope for good luckB. people’s belief in certain numbersC. similar sounds of Chinese numbers and wordsD. Chinese traditions54. What can we learn from the passage?A. Many people like the number 8 because it can bring them much money.B. Much money is som etimes spent on 8s in people’s car numbers in China.C. 9 is a lucky number in Chinese culture for only one reason.D. 4 is an unlucky number because it predicts death to the Chinese.55.

We are b ombarded with the word. Unfortunately,most people don’t know that trans fats truly are and why they are so bad for us. A lot of food production companies want to get your dollars by printing ―Trans Fat Free‖ on their label(标签). Sadly, they may not be telling the truth.So what is a trans fats really? A trans fat is a liquid(液体)fat that is turned into solid. Although there is a very small amount of natural trans fats in meal and dairy products, most of them are created by adding hydrogen to light fat. Food-makers do this because it makes the products last longer on the shelf. Have you ever wondered why cookies can still be crispy and ―tasty‖ after six months to a year on a store shelf? It’s because of trans fats. Trans fats are typically found in things like donuts, French fries, cookies, microwave popcorn, and potato chips.Why are trans fats bad for you? Trans fats raise the bad cholesterol(胆固醇) in your body and lower the good cholesterol that the body needs. Fatty foods do cause overweight. Trans fats build up in the body and block book flow to the heart. People whose diet contains a high percentage of trans fats are at risk of heart disease and stroke.Why can the food-makers label trans fats free when it isn’t? Because of the way the nutrition labeling laws work, the FDA(Food and Drug Administration) has allowed that if a food has less than 0.5 grams per serving (一份) it can be classified as trans fats free. Read the label and you may discover that the package actually contains 6 servings, and if you just are three of them, you might have eaten 1.49 grams of trans fats.Besides, in most fast food restaurants, ingredient and nutrition information are not listed. Y ou may be shocked if you know what you are eating. An article in Men’s Health magazine pointed that in KFC, hydrogenated(氢化的) oils appeared 91 times among the ingredients from the menu list.How do you really know if there are trans fats in the food you are eating? One way to truly understand what you are eating is to read the label. Another is to understand your ingredients. Anything on the label that says hydrogenated or partially hydrogenated, even if the package says ―Trans Fats Free‖, has trans fats in it. Y ou had better not buy that product. Make a different choice,a choice for your health.53. The expression ―are bombarded with‖ in Paragraph 1 probably meansA. are tired ofB. hear much ofC. are connected withD. know clearly about54. Which of the following is true according to the passage?A. Trans fats can make food last long and keep people fit.B. Food-makers use trans fats because they make food deliciousC. The amount of trans fats in food is clearly written on the labelD. Trans fats can be found in the food with package saying trans fat free.55. What can be the best title for the passage?A. Danger of Eating Trans Fats FoodB. Truths and Facts about Trans FactsC. Buy Trans Fats Free Products Now!D. Don’t Eat in Fast Food Restaurant!阅读D篇训练一（2012朝阳一模）DNot long ago, I opened an interesting e-mail from Jennifer in Canada. We became friends. One day, she invited me and 11 other women to a ―Movie Night‖ to be held every six weeks at her house. We’d talk, eat and watch feel-good movies. I e-mailed her back immediately: I was in.Research shows that gatherings such as Jennifer’s make sense. In a US study, researchers measured (测量) the happiness of 4739 people over 20 years. The study found that a person’shappiness depends on the happiness of people he connects with. Surprisingly, it also found that happiness spreads not only between direct friends, but also among friends of your friends’ friends! And those good feelings seem to have the greatest influence among friends of the same sex (性别).―People with more g ood friends are less likely to develop depression (情绪低落) and worry,‖ says Dr. Toupey Luft. ―Though you can’t choose your family or workmates, you do have control over friendships.‖ With a little effort, you can add more positive (正面的) relationships to your social circle. Here’s how:―Nobody is all positive or all negative,‖ says Luft. ―But there are people you may feel more positive. Use that as your way to check people and keep records.‖ When spending time with others, pay attention to your feeling. Are you feeling tired and unhappy？To help you keep records, Luft suggests taking a moment when you get home to write down what your feeling is when around them.While it’s great to gather with positive friends, it’s also good to stay with others in the same life situations. ―But if you’re all just complaining (抱怨) and nothing is changing, it’s not healthy,‖ says Luft. Are your friends negative, or are you doing most of the complaining? Considering the answers to these questions can help you decide if you want to stand in front of them. Or you could let the relationship disappear slowly.Sometimes your hobbies can lead to true friendships. Check out newspapers and websites to find a group or class for something you enjoy. These friends can always be there for you and can care each other through difficulties, illness and death.Not into groups? Look for individual (个人的) communication instead. Luft says, ―Set small goals, such as having coffee with one new person, and develop friendship according to a plan. If som eone suggests going for lunch sometime, set a date.‖―If you’re feeling disappointed (失望) with a friend, try talking about what you both need,‖ says Luft. For example, tell her what you want during hard times in your lives. While your friend may need to be left alone, you may want caring phone calls. With some friends you laugh and have fun together at the movies—and that can be enough. With others, you pay attention to your deep connection.56. What does your happiness depend on, according to the passage?A. How many friends you have.B. How people you connect with feel.C. What situation you are in now.D. What kind of friends you have.57. What does the first suggestion want us to do?A. To measure our happiness.B. To check people around.C. To join a group for hobbies.D. To leave negative friends.58. Which of the following is true?A. All the suggestions tell us to add positive relationship to our social circle.B. It’s necessary to complain about something but not right to do so for long.C. Joining a group can bring better friendship than making individual friends.D. We often have many friends during good times but few during hard times.59. The underlined sentence in the last paragraph means that ______.A. when your friend leaves you, you need comfortB. when your friend is sad, you should call her upC. people may behave differently during hard timesD. friends’ needs may be quite different sometimes阅读D篇训练二（2012东城一模）DWhen we found Tony, he was a sorry sight. His clothes were dirty. There was blood all over his arm. Before we reached him we saw him fall. He lay a moment. Then he pulled himself to his feet, walked a few yards with difficulty through the woods and fell again. When we lifted him off the ground, he tried to break away and run, like a wild animal.After we got him out, we went back to find the gun that he had thrown down. His footprints showed that for two days he had circled in the forest, within 200 yards of the road. His senses were so weak by fear that he did not hear the cars going by or see the lights at night. He was very tired. We found him just in time. This man, like others before him, was full of fear when he knew he was lost.Whatever sense of direction that a man may have, it’s still largely a que stion of watching out. An experienced woodsman always keeps an eye on the things around him. He notes the shape of a mountain, the direction that water flows through the mountain, and everything along with him when he travels—how a tree leans across it and how a rock stands. He sees the way and the general flows of water. With these in mind, he may be turned around many times, but his way i s seldom lost.There are exceptions, of course, and once in a while a man does get into some strange difficulty that puts him into the ―lost‖ column. A rainstorm may catch him without a com pass to show him the direction. Darkness may find him in a very hard situation, where travel is dangerous without a light.When this happens, the normal first reaction is the fear of difficulty as a result of this poor woodsmanship. He may al so worry about the trouble that he will cause his friends when he doesn’t show up. If he is short of experience, he may keep on the move in an effort to find the camp against all bad happenings. And the result is that he might walk in circles or in the wrong direction and in the end beat himself out physi cally and mentally—he will be found mad and crazy.57. Which of the following is true according to the passage?A. Tony went to look for a wild animal.B. Tony found his gun in the circle he walked.C. A man will be full of fear when he gets lost.D. A man won’t get lost if he has a sense of direction.58. The word ―woodsmanship‖ refers to ______.A. ways of protecting the forestB. the art of travelling in the forestsC. the experience of finding a lost manD. skills of helping people in the woods59. What can be the best title for the passage?A. Don’t Be MadB. Fears in the ForestC. Easy to Get LostD. What to Do in the Forest阅读D篇训练三（2012昌平一模）D.Spending time online is normal behavior for teenagers. But too much Internet use by teens – or too little, for that matter – might be related to depression (抑郁), a new study finds.The findings, reported in the Journal of Pediatrics, do not mean that the Internet is to blame.For one, teens in the study who spent no time online were also at increased risk of depression symptoms (症状). Instead, the researchers say that both heavy Internet use, and non – use, could show that a teenager is having a hard time.For the study, Dr. Pierre – Andre Michaud and his colleagues at the University of Lausanne, Switzerland, surveyed 7, 200 individuals ages 16 to 20 about their Internet use.Those who were online more than two hours per day were cons idered ―heavy‖ Internet users, while those online anywhere from several times per week to two hours per day were considered ―regular‖ users.The teenagers also answered a number of health – related questions, including some standard questions about ―depressive tendencies‖ (抑郁倾向) that show how often a person feels sad or hopeless. Compared with regular Internet users, the study found, kids who were heavy users or non – users were more likely to be depressed or very depressed.Among boys, heavy users and non – users were both around one – third more likely to have a high depression score, compared to ―regular‖ users. Among girls, heavy Internet users had an 86 percent greater chance of depression, while non –users had a 46 percent compared to regular users.Since teenagers typically go online to connect with friends. The researches find that those who are never online may be more socially isolated.56. Which is TRUE according to the passage?A.Teenagers never go online are good students.B.Teenagers never go online may get depression.C.Surfing the Internet for teenagers is bad behavior.D.Internet is the reason of teenager’s depression.57. How long does the writer suggest teens to go online per week?A.Less than 14 hours.B. More than 14 hours.C.More than 20 hours.D. Less than 20 hours.58. The purpose of Dr. Michaud and colleagues’ study is to know ______________.A.the actual time of teenagers learning onlineB.the actual number of teenagers playing onlineC.the influence on school study about teenagers onlinethe relationship between Internet use and depression59.
