When an big earthquake hit Wenchuan on May 12，many houses fell down. After the earthquake，all the newspapers reported many stories about some of the families who were in trouble.
One Sunday，when I was reading a newspaper，a special picture touched（触动）me. It gave the clothing sizes of each family member. I thought that this would be a good chance to teach my children to help those who were less lucky than themselves. I said to my seven-year-old twins，Brad and Brett，and three-year-old Meghan. "We have so much，and these poor people now have nothing. We'll share what we have with them.‖
I filled a box with foods and clothes. While I was doing this，I encouraged(鼓励) the boys to choose their toys and donate some of their less favorite things. Meghan watched quietly as the boys took out his old toys and games and put them together. Then she walked away. A few minutes later she came back with Lucy，her much-loved doll. She put the doll on top of the other toys. "Oh，dear，‖I said, ―You don't have to give Lucy. You love her so much.‖ Meghan said，―Lucy makes me happy，Mommy. Maybe she'll make another little girl happy，too.‖
I looked at Meghan for a long moment. She taught me a lesson. It's easy to give something that we don't want any more，but harder to give what we cherish（珍爱），isn't?

In March last year, the car I was driving was involved (卷入) in a serious accident with another car on a country road. I soon found myself at the center of a crazy activity, in the middle of doctors, policemen and passers-by. A large can opener was used to get me out of my broken car and into an ambulance(救护车).
Over the next eight hours, I was taken to hospital, tested with X-ray and diagnosed (诊断) with a broken neck. Knowing that I‘d been saved from death encouraged me throughout the long wait in the hospital and helped me deal with the countless visitors.
Only after I was sure that the last friend had left, could I direct my energies inwards. Flying in and out of my line of vision during my hospital stay was the Red Cross lady, a gentle presence in white who, from time to time, came in to offer cups of tea. After the visitors had gone, she came up to me and checked if I was all right.
I found myself telling her everything about the accident, my fears for my family as a result of my injuries (伤)—about my whole life. While I waited for an ambulance to take me to another hospital, she stood by my bed and held my hand as I off-loaded all the emotion I‘d hidden from my family. She listened, quiet and patient.
Even now, the knowledge that I have the ways to get in touch with her provides me with great comfort. I look forward to a day in the near future when my angel (天使) and I can meet again, in happier situation.
In times of danger, faith (真诚) can encourage us. My faith in human nature called back by the kindness of a stranger has helped to ease my journey back to health.
54. What happened to the writer in the accident?
A. She was hit by a car.
B. She was held in her car.
C. She was caught by the police.
D. She was thrown into a can.
55. The underlined word ―off-loaded‖ means____________in the passage.
A. spoke out
B. put down
C. sho wed off
D. turned over
56. The most important result of the Red Cross lady‘s faith was that ______.
A. the writer got well more quickly
B. the writer missed her very much
C. the writer became much happier
D. the writer had her own faith back

Christmas is a time for shopping. But I think those of us who live in large ci ties in Asia would be cheating ourselves if we said this is the only time we are busy shopping. No, from Bangkok to Singapore, from Shanghai to Manila, shopping—especially shopping in large centers—is a year-round activity.
Shopping centers are good. They show Asia‘s surprising economic (经济的) growth, and how far we have come in such a short time. For many of the older generation w ho can remember a time when everyone lived in villages and there was no running water, the air-conditioned centre means comfort, choice, luxury (豪华) and better times.
Nowadays, it seems our usual activities happen in the centre—it‘s where we shop, eat, watch movies, meet our friends or just generally walk around.
Further more, we have come to regard shopping centers as important landmarks or tourist attractions(吸引). Whole generations of Asians are growing up to think that, besides home and school, the shopping center is the most natural place to be.
My idea about shopping centers is not that they are often big buildings that look quite different from other parts in a city, or that they promote (促进) shopping at a time when our planet can hardly afford it. My main idea about centers is that they don‘t really seem to make us happy. The large advertisements outside the stores could make us think that if we only had this pair of jeans, or if we hung out at this café drinking coffee, then we could feel more successful. But once we buy something, we only want to buy something more—as everyone already knows.
Shopping centers, even though they try to look as welcoming as possibl e, can be unkind places. To make us buy, they must make us feel that we are short of something, or that everyone else has something we do not yet own. We must want to surpass others or at the very least to keep up. How can this thought always trying to be cool bring us true joy?
The saddest thing is that the modern centre has stopped us from many beautiful, necessary and important activities. We have no one to blame (责怪) but ourselves. Instead of shopping, we could be cooking, visiting a nearby waterfall, going to the beach, reading a novel, taking a long walk, playing a sport, learning a dance or visiting each other‘s homes.
Every time we have a spare piece of land, all we can think of building on it is yet another centre. Perhaps instead, we should be building libraries, theatres, museums, sports halls, public swimming pools, parks—the list is endless. We might even consider leaving t hat land alone. This is something that the centre may have caused us to forget—in order to be happy, we must create as well as consume (消费).
57. What is the writer‘s attitude towards shopping centers?
A. He likes them very much.
B. He doesn‘t like them at all.
C. He likes them only a little.
D. He doesn‘t like all of them.
58. Why do more and more shopping centers appear in some Asian countries?
A. Because economy in the world develops very fast.
B. Because shopping centers have attracted tourists all over the world.
C. Because people go shopping in large shopping centers all year round.
D. Because shopping centers have become an important part in everyone‘s life.
59. What is the greatest disadvantage of shopping centers, according to the writer?
A. They don‘t seem to make us happy.
B. They lead us to buy more and more things.
C. They force us to give up many other activities.
D. They have us fall into endless competition with others.
60. Which of the following is not true?
A. It is very easy for us to find a shopping centre in a big city.
B. There are usually all kinds of services in a shopping center.
C. The government must be responsible f or the writer‘s sadness.
D. Besides shopping, there‘re many other activities we can enjoy.

My friend, Victor, is a zoo keeper in the National Zoo. His work is very interesting but it is hard. Sometimes it is dangerous, too. Every morning the zoo keepers have to get up at five to prepare the food for the animals. Each kind of animal is given special food. For example, the lions must be given meat; the deer must be given grass and leaves; and the parrots must be given fruit and nuts. Sometimes some animals won't let the others eat their food. If this happens, each of them must be fed separately(分离地) .
Every morning each cage must be washed by the zoo keepers. This can be dangerous, especially with lions and tigers. To make the work easier, the animals are locked in the sleeping compartments (隔间) while the cages are being washed. When the animals are sick, the zoo keepers must look after them. Each sick animal is kept in a separate cage and given medicine. Sometimes they must be given injections. It is not easy to inject （打针）a sick lion!
All the keepers live near the zoo. Each of them has a small house. There he lives with his family. They do not have holidays on Sundays and public holidays. Instead, each of them has a day off during the week. Each keeper has a holiday on a different day from that of the other keepers.
The most important job of the keepers is to look after the safety of the visitors. People must be prevented from doing dangerous things. Many people have been injured because they did careless things, like putting their hands into the lion's cage.
31. What kind of food must be given to the animals like tigers, lions and bears?

Father‘s Day has a very short history. It was started because there was a Mother‘s Day. And just because some Americans thought that if we had a Mother‘s Day, we should also have a Father‘s Day. Father‘s Day has become important in North America. And shopkeepers found it was a good way to get people to buy presents for their fathers, presents from their shops.
By the way, very few countries have a Father‘s Day, though some have Children‘s Day, or a special day for boys and another for girls. More and more countries are having Mother‘s Day, so maybe Father‘s Day will also become popular before too long. Now, what do people in North America do on Father‘s Day? The newspapers, radios, and TV tell children what they should do－buy a Father‘s Day present for your father. They even tell a wife to buy a Father‘s Day present－not for her father but for her husband, even if he is not yet a father. And they tell grandchildren to buy a Father‘s Day present for their grandfathers.
The i mportant thing to remember about Father‘s Day is that American children can show their love to their fathers in a more open way.

A. there was a Mother‘s Day
B. there was a Children‘s Day

Living in a foreign culture can be exciting, but it can also be confusing(令人迷惑的).A group of Americans who taught English in other countries recently discussed their experiences. They decided that miscommunications（沟通误解）were always possible, even over something as simple as ―yes‖and ―no‖.
On her first day in Micronesia, an island in the Pacific（太平洋）, Lisa thought people weren‘t paying any attention to her. The day was hot. She went into a store and asked, ―Do you have cold drinks?‖ The woman there didn‘t say anything. Lisa repeated the question. Still the woman said nothing. She later learned that the woman had answered her: She had raised her eyebrows(眉毛)，which in Micronesia means ―yes‖.
Jan remembered an experience she had in Bulgaria, a country in Europe. She went to a restaurant that was famous for its cabbage. She asked the waiter, ―Do you have cabbage today?‖ He nodded his head. Jan waited, but the cabbage never came. In that country, a nod means ―no‖.
Tom had a similar problem when arrived in India. After explaining something in class, he asked his students if they understood. They answered with many different nods and shakes of the head. He thought some people had not understood, so he explained again. When he asked again, they did the same thing. He soon found out that his students did understand. In India, people nod and shake their heads in different ways depending on（依据）where they come from. You have to know where a person is from to understand whether they mean ―yes‖or ―no‖.

Our surroundings(环境) are being polluted faster than nature and man‘s present efforts cannot prevent it. Time is bringing us more people, and more people will bring us more industry, more cars, larger cities, and the growing use of man-made materials.
What can explain and solve this problem? The fact is that pollution is caused by man — by his desire（欲望）for a modern way of life. We make ―increasing industrialization‖ our chief aim. So we are often ready to offer everything: clean air, pure water, good food, our health and the future of our children. There is a constant flow of people from the countryside into the cities, eager（渴望）for the benefits of our modern society. But as our technological achievements have grown in the last twenty years, pollution has become a serious problem.
Isn‘t it tim e we stopped to ask ourselves where we are going — and why? It makes one think of the story about the airline pilot who told his passengers over the loudspeaker, ―I‘ve some good news and some bad news. The good news is that we‘re making rapid progress at 530 miles per hour. The bad news is that we‘re lost and don‘t know where we‘re going.‖ The sad fact is that this becomes a true story when spoken of our modern society.
42. Man cannot prevent the world from being polluted mainly because ______.
A. the population of the world is reducing fast
B. people use too many man-made materials
C. we have more and more industry
D. we are producing more cars, trucks and buses

45. What is the writer‘s purpose of writing the passage?

My name is Lin Hui. I like to tell stories about people who work together. What is even better is when countries help each other and build a good friendship. An excellent example of this happened when Britain and China worked together to bring the Milu deer back to China.
Milu deer, a kind of animal with large horns(角), used to be common in China long ago. Like other deer they lived together and ate grass and the soft parts of trees. Milu deer were often killed for food or sport. The Ming and Qing dynasties(朝代) did not protect them and many were killed. That is how the Milu deer disappeared from China.
Luckily before all of them were killed, some were taken to Britain to improve the environment of the beautiful park which belonged to the Duke of Bedford. He liked them so much that he took them from China to Britain. Milu deer liked the cool, wet weather in England and their number increased year by year. As a result, when in 1985 the government of China wanted to bring back the Milu deer, the Duke of Bedford was able to help. The first deer came back to China to the Nanhaizi Milu Park 20 kilometers south of Beijing and the centre in Dafeng, Jiangsu province.
The deer certainly seem happy to be back in China because their number has grown quickly. There are now so many of them that a new park has been opened fo r them in Hubei Province. At the moment the Milu deer live in centres where they are being well protected and cared for. It is hoped that one day there will be enough animals to let them live in the wild again.
54. The Milu deer disappeared long ago in China because .
A. they were not well protected

（33）Train-spotting
Many people around the world have seen Danny Boyle‘s movie Train spotting starring Ewan McGregor, but ho w many of us really know what train-spotting is all about? Now this is not considered cool in town and the word ―train-spotter‖ in Britain is related to ―geek‖ or ―nerd‖ (someone who seems very ridiculous). But is this reputation really deserved?
First of all, let‘s see what train-spotting is. It is said that there are some 100,000 train spotters in the UK. Exactly as the title suggests, they spot trains, that is, they stand in train stations, look at the number of each train that leaves and arrives and write it down. The eventual aim is to have seen every train in the country.
Being crazy about railways and trains is not modern and it dates back to 1804. As the number of trains grew and they got faster and faster, so did the interest in them grow? Is this any stranger than people who love cars?
So, what do you need to be a train-spotter? Well, all you really need is a pen or pencil and a notebook to write down the train numbers. Other equipment(装备) includes hot tea in a thermos, a camera and some sandwiches for those long afternoons spent on train platforms when you don‘t want to risk the delights of railway station food.
It‘s inter esting to note that despite the ―bad name‖ of train-spotting, there have been famous railway lovers in history, such as Alfred Hitchcock, who filmed them regularly, especially The 39 Steps. There is evidence, too, that being a train-spotter is not necessarily a strange phenomenon（现象）in Britai n.
One glance at the US train stations should be enough to convince you that train-spotters there are alive and well. In America, they try to call rail lovers ―train-fans‖ and talk of ―train-fanning‖. Don‘t let this f ool you—these people are train spotters and there are a lot of them. Each month, two million pages are visited on the website https://www.doczj.com/doc/b818447377.html,.
57. What is train-spotting according to the passage?
A. A kind of hobby.
B. A type of sport.
C. A strange phenomenon.
D. A special job.
58. Which of the following about train-spotters is true according to the passage?
A. They number each train they see.
B. They keep a careful path of every train.
C. They count the trains passing in front of them.
D. They produce films about trains with video cameras.
59. The writer writes the passage to .
A. introduce some famous train-spotters
B. encourage readers to do more train-spotting
C. try to present a true picture of train-spotting
D. describe the necessary equipment in train-spotting

A. Train-spotters in the UK want to fool people.
B. Train-spotting is more acceptable in America.

If you have a bottle of water recycled(再利用) from urine(尿), would you drink it? Astronauts at the ISS may soon do so.
NASA(美国航空航天局) said it would use a high-tech machine to recycle wastewater at the ISS. The machine will recycle water for washing hands, shower water, water for brushing teeth and even urine to make drinking water. It will save millions of dollars each year.
At present, each ISS astronaut uses about 4.4 liters(升) of water every day. It costs about 24 million dollars a year to send water up to the ISS. A liter of water costs about $ 11,000.
The machine will be sent to the ISS later. NASA hopes it will recycle about 93% of all the water used on the station.
Will the water be clean? Different chemicals will be put in the wastewater. The water will be heated to 130℃ to kill bacteria(细菌). Scientists say that the recycled water is thousands of times better than the water from a city tap.

In the past ten years, many scientists have studied the differences between men and women. And they all got the same answer: The sexes(性别) are different, because their brains are different. And this, the scientists say, makes men and women see the world in different ways.
Boys, for example, generally are better than girls at mathematical(数学的) ideas. Boys also generally are better than girls at the kind of hand and eye movements necessary for ball sports. Girls, on the other hand generally start speaking earlier than boys. And they generally(通常) see better in the dark than boys and are better at learning foreign languages.

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

（英语）中考英语阅读理解专项训练及答案 一、英语阅读（日常生活类） 1．阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳答案。 If you look at the top of your phone, you'll usually see a little symbol that says 3G or 4G. The "G" stands for the "generation" （代）of your mobile network. But the symbols will become things of the past after 5G networks fully arrive. On March 30, Shanghai vice-mayor Wu Qing made the first 5G video call on a Huawei Mate X Smartphone. Shanghai has also become the first city in China to start testing 5G networks. About 100 times faster than 4G networks, 5G will let people download and upload data（数据） faster than ever before. But 5G won't just bring faster mobile internet. People can use it for many other things as well. For example, 5G will help to make self-driving cars safer. Today's self-driving test cars have one problem-lag（延迟）. When the car "sees" an obstacle（障碍物）, it sends this information to a data center and receives instructions, However, it will be some time before it sends and receives this information. With this kind of lag, the cars might crash because they don't receive instructions in time. With 5G, this lag will be greatly lowered, making the cars safer. 5G could also be used to power the internet of things （IoT）, that is, a large online network that connects all things and people. Fast internet speeds will be the key to developing this technology. The IoT could be used in a lot of ways. For example, with IoT, your refrigerator could automatically （自动地） place an order online for eggs when it finds that there are no eggs left inside. （1）Which city was 5G tested for the first time? A. Beijing. B. Shanghai. C. Shenzhen. （2）What can we infer（推测） according to the passage?. A. 5G is widely used in China now. B. 5G networks will make our lives more convenient. C. There are no symbols at the top of our phones. （3）The writer uses self-driving cars as an example to . A. explain how 5G's fast speed can be helpful B. warn about the possible dangers of self-driving cars C. explain how self-driving cars work （4）What is IoT according to the passage? A. A robot that can do housework. B. An online store where you can buy anything. C. A large online network that connects things and people. （5）Which sentence is right according to the passage? A. 5G will help us buy eggs quickly. B. Robots can help us buy eggs online. C. Our refrigerator can order eggs online for us. 【答案】（1）B
