2019届中考英语阅读理解50篇(含答案)2019届中考英语阅读理解50篇(绝对精品训练题,接近实战考题,值得下载练习)1When I was a kid in Minnesota, watermelon was expensive. 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 bu ry 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 o f 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 da ngle 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 ho pe 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 t he rest away.1. We learned from the second paragraph that the writer and his father were feeling ______.A. relaxedB. 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 goalB. a friend in need is a friend in deedC. watermelon is the healthiest fruitD. one should keep work-life balance答案:ABCDD2Paul and Jason were brothers who lived and worked on neighboring farms.For 35 years they farmed side by side, sharing machinery and goods as needed, without a single proble.

Then, Paul, with tears in his eye s, said to the builder who was packing his bag to go, “Thank you so much.Please stay.I have much more for you to do.” “I’d love to.”the builder said quietly,“but,I have many m ore bridges to build.”1.What was the cause of the disagreement between the two brothers?A.The digging of the creek.B.A problem about a farm animal.C.Who owned the field between the farms.D.Who would pay for building the fence.2.The underlined expression“ go him one better” in paragraph 4 means.A.do something even worseB. improve the situationC.point out his mistakeD.help him out3.What do we know about the brothers?A.They had been fighting for many years.B.Their farms were not very successful.C.They finally realized their mistakes.D.They liked building bridges.4.Why did the builder build the bridge?A.He needed a way to get across the river.B.There was not enough wood for the fence.C.He misunderstood Paul’s instructions.D.He wanted to bring the brothers together.5.In what order did the following take place in the story?a.The brothers stood on the bridge.b.Jason dug the creek.c.The brothers became angry with each other,d.The builder asked for work.e.Paul went into town.A.b,c,e,d,aB.c,b,d,e,aC.b,e,c,a,dD.c,d,b,a,e答案:BACDB3Tom walked into a shop .

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.

There are only a few men in all of history, who havechanged the lives of other men as much as the inventor of the first useful electric light. But Edison could never be pleased only because someone sa id 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./doc/4d11903132.html,eful dreams./doc/4d11903132.html,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.how anybody enjoyed lifeB.how anybody loved workingC.why anybody loved thinkingD.why anybody was tired of life4.The last sentence in the passage means that .A.Edison was born to be a great inventorB.Edison was able to live another 100 yearsC.Edison was ready to make his 100 th inventionD.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 g ot 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.

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 at the 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 mind driving 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 abig 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…t hen 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 opera tion. 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.

Then he said to the three hundred students, “Who would like this ¥100 bill?” The students began to put up their hands at once.Then he said, “I am g oing to give this ¥100 to one of you, but first, let me do this.” He then made the bill into a ball. Then he said, “Who wants it now?” The hands went back into the air.“Well,” he said, “What if I do this?” and he dropped it on the floor and stepped on it. He picked up the dirty, crumpled bill and said, “Who still wants it?” Hands went back into the air.“My friends,” he said, “you have learned a valua ble lesson today. No matter (无论) what I did to the money, you still wanted it because it did not go down in value (价值). It was still worth ¥l00!”Many times in our lives, we are dropped, crumpled, and stepped on by the chances we take and the things that happen。

the guest﹣host relationship(关系)in China is much different than in some western countries.It seems that they are not nice guests.And western guests sometimes look rude in the eyes of Chinese guests.In China,guests are almost like gods(上帝).Whenever I enter a Chinese person's home,there is always fruit on the table for me,and someone is quick to bring me a cup of tea or water.In the west,generally the guest is not a god.Acting according to(根据)the host's way of doing things is usual behavior for a guest.My wife's mother,a very kind elderly Chinese lady,doesn't smoke.When I see some of her guests smoking in her house,as a non﹣smoker,I feel unhappy.Usually I want to stop them directly(直接地),but I must realize that in China,to be a good host,she must not do that.In most North America homes,if you are a guest,and the hosts are not smokers,you should not smoke in their house.At the very least,you could ask,"Is it OK if I smoke?"But don't besurprised if the hosts say,"No,you can't smoke."In our culture,if you smoke in their home,you are a bad guest,but if they don't allow you to smoke in their house,they are not a rude host.Guests in China also have special habits.Some western people may not adapt to these habits very soon.Thankfully my wife is Chinese,so whenever we visit a Chinese family she tells me to buy them a gift.However,giving a gift to a host is not always necessary in my country.So,if you invite international guests to yourhome,don't be too surprised if they don't bring you a gift.In China,you probably won't need to change the guest﹣host relationship very much because you will probably only be the host,and Chinese are naturally very good hosts.If western hosts invite you to their house,try not to be too surprised if their style of treating you is not what you have expected.(1)Many foreigners think that Chinese hosts are the A in the world.A.bestB.worstC.most naturalD.most difficult(2)When a western guest visits a Chinese family,he often B.A.buys some fruitB.feels like a godC.wants some giftsD.takes a cup of tea(3)If the writer's guests want to smoke in his house,what will he probably say?CA.It's OK if you smoke here.B.Let's smoke together.C.Sorry,you can't smoke here.D.Smoking is a bad habit.(4)What is the meaning of the underlined phrase"adapt to"in the passage?B A.think back toB.get used toC.look forward toD.keep close to(5)What is the main idea of this passage?DA.Foreigners should learn from Chinese.B.Hosts must do things in the guest's way.C.Western hosts are always nice to guests.D.People should understand cultural differences.【解答】ABCBD1.A.细节理解题;根据In the eyes of many foreigners.Chinese are the best hosts (主人)and the worst guests in the world可知在外国人眼里中国人是世界上最好的主人,best最好的,worst最糟糕的,故选A.2.B.细节理解题;根据In

科普环保类AThere are an extremely large number of ants worldwide。
Each individual(个体的)ant hardly weighs anything,but put together they weigh roughly the same as all of mankind.They also live nearly everywhere,except on frozen mountain tops and around the poles。
For animals their size,ants have been astonishingly successful,largely due to their wonderful social behavior。
In colonies(群体)that range in size from a few hundred to tens of millions,they organize their lives with a clear division of labor.Even more amazing is how they achieve this level of organization。
Where we use sound and sight to communicate,ants depend primarily on pheromones(外激素),chemicals sent out by individuals and smelled or tasted by fellow members of their colony.When an ant finds food,it produces a pheromone that will lead others straight to where the food is.When an individual ant comes under attack or is dying,it sends out an alarm pheromone to warn the colony to prepare for a conflict as a defense unit。

But when he took the blue coat, there on the shelf behind all of the dark coats, hidden like a spring flower in winter darkness, there, as if by magic, was a pink coat.“A pink coat!” Sarah cried. “I want the pink coat.”“That coat is smaller than the other ones,” Papa said.Sarah spoke up. “I’m small, too. Papa, please let me try it on, Mama? Please?”“It wouldn’t hurt to let her try it on,” Mama said.Without a word, the shopkeeper took the coat from the shelf and held it for Sarah.“Ohhh!” Sarah said.

In the pink coat she looked like a spring flower.“Sarah!” Mama said.Sarah looked up. Mama was standing behind her. She was holding the brown coat.“I’m afraid the pink coat will only fit one year,” Mama said, taking a step closer.“And there’s no one to pass it on to,” said Papa.And the shopkeeper said, “It’s wise to save money.”Sarah backed away. No one was going to put her into a raincoat again. She wanted to be a flower.“Sarah!” It was Papa. He came over to her. “You’re old enough to know that you can’t always have your own way,” he said seriously.“Wise and true,” said the shopkeeper.Sarah took off the pink coat, slowly.“It is her colour, though,” Mama said.“Ahh,” said the shopkeeper. “Anyone can see how the pink of the coat brings out the roses in her face.”Papa looked thoughtful for a moment.“We are lucky.” continued Mama, “that it is only one little coat for Sarah and not also new coats for Sylvia and Susan and Sally.”Papa looked from the brown coat to the pink coat. “The cows will give milk soon enough,” he said “And how can we let Sarah wear a brown coat when she looks like a flower in this one?”“Papa!” Sarah cried, putting on the pink coat back, quickly.

They paste Spring Festival Couplets(春联),greeting the New Year and saying goodbye to the old year. On the first day of the Spring Festival,people hang out,wearing new clothes. Nowadays,children get red pockets from their parents and their relatives. It is a good time for people to visit relatives and friends. More importantly,the Spring Festival is celebrated not only in China but also in other parts of the world.The Spring Festival was celebrated in the UK from 1980. Every New Year,people also get together and have lots of activities. They sing songs and share with friends or watch movies in the cinema. Besides,the Spring Festival has become a key time for Chinese living in the US. They join in a large evening party to welcome the traditional New Year. The Chinese New Year will be welcomed with three weeks of celebration across Australia. Thousands of people come to Sydney's Chinatown. They enjoy fireworks and lion dances. The family dinner on New Year's Eve is an important tradition for Chinese whether they were born in Singapore or moved there from China. They usually hold it at home because having it in a restaurant takes away the meaning of the tradition.( )1.

The festival spread to China as early as the 1980s and was widely accepted.Why did a foreign festival become popular in China? In fact,Chinese traditional culture has always encouraged filial(孝顺的) devotion to parents. There are many stories which show filial respect in ancient China. For example,the story of “Taste Liquid(液体的) Medicine for Mother” tells us the filial virtue(美德) of Emperor Wen of the Western Han dynasty. His mother had been sick for three years. He often stayed up by her bedside and cared for her day and night. He tasted the liquid medicine first before she drank it. Also,mother love is a repeated subject in Chinese ancient poems,like “Song of the Parting Son” by Meng Jiao,a poet of the Tang dynasty. Now this poem is still a must in the school textbooks. Children in China are brought up with the education of filial devotion.On special days,people often use roses or forgetmenotes to express love. Carnations are considered as the perfect flowers for mothers around the world,but few know that China has its own for mothers—the tiger lily.Love for mothers can have different ways of expression. What matters most is love,not the festival itself. What mothers truly want is perhaps just a simple expression of love from their children. ( )1. When did Mothers Day spread to China?A. In the 1920s.B. In the 1980s.C. In the Western Han dynasty.D. In the Tang dynasty.( )2. What is the poem of “Song of the Parting Son” mainly about?A. The filial virtue of Emperor Wen.B. Caring for the old.C. Traditional Chinese medicine.D. A mother's love for her son.( )3. Mother's Day is popular in China mainly because of________.A. its wide spread in many countriesB. our ancient stories of respecting parentsC. our traditional cultural valuesD. its simple way of expressing love( )4. What a mother truly wants on Mother's Day may be________.A. a big dinnerB. a celebration partyC. greetings of the festivalD. expensive presentsH (2018·浙江湖州)For me,one of the greatest pleasures in life is going to watch a great film at the cinema. It's a chance for me to get away from real life. There's nothing better than being lost in a story unless,of course,someone decides to break down the moment.Whether at a cinema or a huge theatre, someone usually decides to treat the place like their own home! There is an accepted way of behaving at the cinema which some people don't seem to understand.To start with,some people always turn up late,causing you to rise from your seat to allow them to go past. Then,when you want to enjoy the surroundsound effects,someone begins to enjoy their drinks and popcorn and thus makes a lot of noises. And what I can't stand most is people who decide to chat to their friends,sometimes not even about the film.I'm not alone in this situation. Simon Mayo,a film critic at the BBC,experienced a “new low” during a film. He says,“ The woman in front of me got a mirror out,then her boyfriend got a phone out and used the light on it to allow her to do her makeup!”Simon has helped to create a list of rules on how moviegoers should behave at the cinema. One of them is no use of mobile phones,and another is not to take your shoes off—a most serious offence(冒犯) !Of course,when we have paid for a ticket,we feel it is our right to relax and enjoy the film in the way we want to,but we mustn't forget our fellow moviegoers who want to enjoy the cinematic experience,too.The best choice for anyone wanting to break the rules of cinema manners is to get a DVD and watch it at home. But we all know that the best way to enjoy the art of cinematography is on the big screen.________.What about you? What annoys you about other people at the cinema? ( )1. Why does the writer enjoy going to the cinema?A. It makes him feel like being at home.B. It gives him a moment to stay away from real life.C. He prefers watching the films on big screens.D. He wants to enjoy the cinematic experience.( )2. What is considered by Simon to be the rudest at a cinema?A. Using mobile phones.B. Chatting to their friends.C. Taking the shoes off.D. Having drinks and eating popcorn.( )3.“________” is the best sentence to fill in the blank in Paragraph 7.A. Don't break the rules!B. Manners are important!C. Just stay at home!D. It's your choice!( )4. Which of the following can be the best title for the passage?A. Popular CinemasB. A Serious ProblemC. Cinema MannersD. An Unpleasant ExperienceIDuring the summer holiday,some students might have been busy with traveling,summer camps and all kinds of courses. But a special group of Chinese middle school students decided to taste the hardship of life outside school.Twelve students in a big city sold vegetables at a local market together. Within 12 days,they made more than 1,500 yuan.Among them,the oldest is 21 years old,while the youngest is just 10. They are all cousins in a big family and eight of them are from rural areas.“Compared to traveling,such social practice connects us and makes us learn how tough our parents are,” said Dalin,18,to the City Morning Post. Dalin,a senior high graduate,and her 12yearold brother Xiaolin came up with the idea.They learned to work hard to sell their veggies. Every morning they had to wake up at 3 o'clock. Some of them went to the farmer's market to buy vegetables. Some of them went to the local market to take up a temporary stall(临时摊位). To lower the cost,they learned to bargain(讲价) with the sellers.At about 6:30 am,they began to sell vegetables. They peddled(吆喝) loudly to attract(吸引) customers. After several days,they got some experience,too.For example,it was better to put vegetables in order and bigger ones on top. When the vegetables are too heavy,they should give customers an extra plastic bag.When they finally packed up and went home,they had a small meeting. Everyone took notes and shared their feelings.“We are tired,” said Dalin. “But we gained a lot.”( )1. In the writer's opinion,the 12 students' action was ________.A. popularB. encouragingC. strangeD. embarrassing( )2. The cousins decided to sell vegetables at a market to________.A. show how able they wereB. have less hardshipof lifeC. learn how hard their parents workD. prepare for theirfuture traveling( )3. They bargained with the sellers to ________.A. cut down the costB. share their feelingsC. get bigger vegetablesD. attract more customers( )4. It's clear that ________.A. they took up the temporary stall in turnB. they gave each customer an extra plastic bagC. Dalin and Xiaolin got the idea of selling vegetablesD. the elder sold vegetables when the younger took notes( )5. The best title of the story should be “________”.A. Summer CoursesB. Family BusinessC. Students Learn from BargainsD. Cousins Work with VegetablesJIn Britain, Boxing Day is usually celebrated on December 26th, whichis the following day after Christmas Day. However, strictly speaking,Boxing Day is the first weekday after Christmas. Like Christmas Day,Boxing Day is a public holiday. This means it's a nonworking day inthe whole of Britain. When Boxing Day falls on a Saturday or Sunday,the following Monday is the public holiday.The exact origin(起源) of the holiday is unclear. One of the thoughts is that during the Middle Ages, when great sailing ships were setting off to discover new land, a Christmas Box was placed by a priest (神父) on each ship. Those sailors who wanted to ensure a safe return would drop money into the box. It was sealed_up and kept on board until the ship came home safely. Then the box was handed over to the priest in the exchange for the saying of a Mass of thanks for the success of the sailing. The priest wouldn't open it to share the contents with the poor until Christmas.One more thought is about the “Alms Box” placed in every church on Christmas Day. Worshippers (做礼拜的人) put gifts for the poor into it. These boxes were always opened the day after Christmas, that is why that day became known as Boxing Day.Today, many businesses, organizations and families try to keep the traditional spirit of Boxing Day alive by donating (捐赠) their time, services and money to aid Food Banks, providing gifts for the poor, or helping families in need. Besides, spending time with family and shopping are popular Boxing Day activities now.( )1. If Christmas Day is on a Saturday, Boxing Day will be celebrated on ________.A. December 25thB. December 26thC. December 27thD. December 28th( )2. Sailors dropped money into the Christmas Box in order to ________.A. save the poorB. pay for the priestC. discover new landD. pray for sailing safety ( )3. What does the underlined phrase “sealed up” mean?A. 密封B. 悬挂C. 归还D. 传递( )4. The following activities can show the traditional spirit of Boxing Day EXCEPT ________.A. offering gifts to the poorB. supporting families in needC. spending time with familyD. giving money to aid Food Banks( )5. The purpose of the passage is ________.A. to praise the kindness of priestsB. to introduce the origins of Boxing DayC. to call on people to help the poorD. to compare Boxing Day with Christmas DayKDear mum and dad,I'm writing this letter to you from the center of Australia. At the moment we're staying near Uluru—that's the aboriginal(土著) name for Ayers Rock. On the first day, we took a balloon tour over the rock, and I was surprised at how big it was: 3.6 kilometers long and 384 meters high. The colors of the rock are fantastic, and at different times of the day, they change from purple to red. The Aborigines are the first people of Australia, and the ancient aboriginal stories describe the spirits that created the world. Uluru is a center of Aboriginal culture.The Australians have many British relatives. That's why they're like us in many ways. Their family life is similar to ours, and they enjoy the same food and hobbies. The food and drink that most Australians like are grapes, lamb, ham and especially wine that they make in the south of the country. They love all sports, but football is the most popular. Most Australians live near the coast, so they also love going to the beach, swimming and surfing.Although it's December, it's summer over here. The sunshine is very bright, and near the coast the countryside is very green. There are lots of sheep in the fields and on the hills, but the outback(澳洲内陆) is more like a desert, full of rocks and sand.The next day after we arrived at Uluru, we went on a camel(骆驼) ride. The camel that I rode had a bad temper. When I sat on its back, it became very angry and refused me. So everyone else thought it was very funny that my camel kept lying down...Finally, later this evening, we're taking the plane back to Sydney and coming home, it's been a fantastic trip!Tony( )1.

A Summer EveningLThe summer vacation is a time to enjoy a change from the school year. It's a good chance to work on different activities that you don't have much time to do during the rest of the year.We asked about 2,000 people what they would do during the summer vacation. Most of the surveytakers agreed that the summer vacation was a break from homework and they could relax.Alexis said, “At school, I'm really tired, so during the summer vacation I can read books and do many outdoor activities.”Amy is in high school. After school, she sometimes works in a cafe. She told us, “It's a chance to relax after a hard school year—sleep more, and see my friends more.”We also asked them if they would be too busy or kind of bored. About half (52%) of the surveytakers said they would be busy during the summer vacation but still have time to relax. And that is exactly how it should be.But not everyone said their summer vacation would be the right balance (平衡) between being busy and relaxing. Many thought that they would be too bored.How bored or busy people feel during the summer vacation depends on how old they are. Surveytakers in their early teens were more likely (可能的) to be bored. Among them, 40% said they would be bored and only 10% thought they would be too busy.( )1. What does the underlined word “surveytakers” in Paragraph2 mean?A. 进行调查的人B. 接受调查的人C. 写调查报告的人D. 看调查报告的人( )2.

"But no matter how we decide,there are still many chances that we break our promises.This behavior is called" bedtime procrastination"(睡眠拖延症),and results from being short of self-control and our body clock.Bedtime procrastination is a common problem.According to a study,Among 2,400 people,53 percent of them couldn't follow their sleeping time they had planned,delaying(#fE R )it at least twice a week.They delayed bedtime not because they liked to stay up late,but they couldn't stop doing some other things.Accordingly,People who usually have trouble resisting temptations(抵制诱惑)and adhering to their intentions(坚持己见)are more likely to delay going to bed.However,scientists think being short of self-control is not the only problem.Our body clock also lays an important role when it comes to bedtime.In order to check the influence of the body clock on sleep,scientists studied the sleep patterns (t模式)of 108 people.It was found that those who got up late are more likely to delay their bedtime than those who woke up early every morning.And more surprisingly,night owls(夜猫子)would go to bed late at the very beginning of theweekday,even though they had to get up early for work and school.It's their special body clock that plays a part in delaying their bedtime.People always think that bedtime procrastination isn't a big problem,but the choices we make that affect (影响)our sleep could finally be pretty important for our health.根据短文内容,选择最佳答案.(每小题10分,共10分)6.Bedtime procrastination is partly because of ______ .A. being short of self-control.B. resisting temptations.C. adhering to their intentionsD. working hard7.Bedtime procrastination is a common problem because ______ .A. people liked to stay up lateB. people have trouble going to bedC. over 50% of people couldn't sleep on timeD. people are night owls8.______ people were tested on the sleeping influence of the body clock.A. 2400B. 53 percent ofC. 47 percent ofD. 1089.According to the passage,which of the following is NOT true?______A.

As a result, we think we can see something that is not actually there or we ignore (忽视) things that actually are there.Scientists Daniel Simons and Christopher Chabris have researched this phenomenon (现象), which they call "change blindness". Their experiments show how we sometimes just do notsee what is in front of our eyes because 4Here is one of their most famous experiments. In this experiment, the participants (参与者) were shown a video of two groups of people (one group in white T-shirts and one group in blackT-shirts) who passed basketballs around in a hallway. Each group had three members. Simons and Chabris asked the participants to count how many times the white team passed the ball. While the two teams were passing their balls around, a person dressed up as a big bear walked through the group and stopped to look at the camera.

A lot of people still like to ride horses. And horse racing is also popular. So it is not surprising that Americans use this animal when they talk.Long ago, rich or important people rode horses which were very tall. Today, if a girl acts like she is better than everyone else, you might say she should get off her high horse.Yesterday my children wanted me to take them to the playground. But I had to finish my work, so I said, "Hold your horses. Wait until I finish what I am doing." My two boys like tocompete against each other and play in a noisy and not very careful way. I always tell them to stop horsing around or someone could get hurt.Last night, I got a telephone call while I was watching my favourite TV show. I decided not to answer it because wild horses could not drag (拖,拽) me away from the television. There was nothing that could stop me from doing what I wanted to do.Sometimes you get information straight from the horse's mouth.

'"I'm going for a swim," Ben said, "but you don't want to come. You want to work, don't you?It's much nicer!" Ben laughed loudly. Tom looked seriously at Ben and said, "What is work?What do you call work?""Isn't that work?" Ben asked."Well, no. Does a boy get the opportunity to paint a fence every day? You've neverpainted a fence, have you? Auntie says I have to do it with great care!""Please, Tom. Let me do a little," said Ben."No, Ben. If you do, you'll do it wrong. You can't paint very well. '"I won't do it wrong. I'll be really careful. I'll give you my apple." Tom gave him the brush and paint with a sad face, but in his heart he was glad. His trick had worked.After Ben got tired and left, other boys came along and Tom said the same things to them. Soon, the whole fence was painted white, but not by Tom.

The top of these trees is called the canopy. Scientists want to learn about the canopy. They want to learn about everything that lives there. But it has not been easy to get to the canopy.Meg is an American biologist, ecologist, explorer, writer, educator, and public speaker. Since she knows a lot about trees, she is sometimes called Canopy Meg. Meg has always liked trees. When she was a child, she made tree houses. Now, she has climbed to the top of trees all over the world and does great research, so she has got a nickname called “Einstein of the treeto ps.”Walkways in the rainforest were Meg's idea. Now, they are used by many people. A walkway is like a bridge that goes between the trees. It is safe and it do esn’t h arm the trees.A walkway, however, cannon help scientists reach the top.One way to reach the top is by a light raft filled with air. It has a huge net on it. A hot air balloon drops the raft onto the trees. Scientists can stand on the raft and look into the trees.A tower crane is also a good way to get to the top. It can go above the tree tops. It can go all the way down to the ground, too. Scientists are learning about life in the canopy. They have learned there are millions of insects that are eating leaves in these treetops.Meg's job is to keep finding out more. She wants to help find the secrets of treetops. There are still millions of animals that no one has seen. Many of them are in the treetops.23.

However. something called digital currency is slowly taking the place of cash. A currency is kind of money. Usually, we use currency when we talk about a country’s money. If something is digital, it only exists(存在) on a computer. So "digital currency” means money that only exists on computers.Lots of people have digital currency accounts(账户). They use a credit card(信用卡) to change their real money into digital money, and then the money goes into the digital currency account. A lot of people wonder, “Why in the world should I change my real money into digital currency?" This is a fair question, but there’s a good answer. If you want to buy something online, then you usually have to use digital currency. For example.If you’re in Chins and you want to buy something in Canad a, then you’ll have to pay with the digital currency.Many people still don't trust digital currency. Some people think that if they can't bold2their money in their band, then it doesn’t seem real. These people don't feel comfortable when they see numbers on a computer screen. The computer tells them that their money is safe but these people don't really feel safe. Another problem is security(安全). There are hackers all over the world. A hacker is a person who steals computer information. If a hacker gets the password of your digital currency account, he or she can steal your money.You have to decide whether or not you trust this new invention. Just remember one thing: If you want to buy something online, then you probably won't have a choice. You'll have to use digital currency.27. What does Para. 1 mainly tell us?A What digital currency is.B How to use digital currency.C Why we all need cash to live.D Where to find digital currency.28. What is the "good answer" to the question in Para. 2?A You cannot shop online without digital currency.R You cannot buy anything in China with real money.C You cannot buy anything in Canada without digital currency.D You can use both real money and digital currency to shop online.29. What is the first problem mentioned in Para.3?A Digital currency is not safe enough.B Many people still don't trust digital currency.C Some people can't hold their money in their hand.D Some people don't feel comfortable with numbers.30, Which of the following is the best title for the passage?A Two kinds of moneyB The end of real moneyC Currency around the worldD Money that you can't touch第二卷(非选择题共55 分)三.听力填词(共5小题计5分)请听下面一段独白。
