There is no doubt that computers are very useful in technology and business.析In space, computers have been used to control the speed and direction of a spaceship. With the help of computers, doctors can find diseases easily and solve other problems. For example, tiny computers which are inside patients' bodies can keep their hearts beating normally. In factories, robots are controlled by computers that are like human brains. They can do work that is dangerous to humans. In business, computers are used to place and cancel orders. They are also making the workplace safer and better.Since the Internet came into being, people's lives at home have been changed, too. More and more people have personal computers that are used to play games and watch movies. Thanks to the Internet, people can do shopping and do business at home. Instead of writing letters on paper, people communicate by sending e-mails and chatting online. The whole world isconnected. The Internet is making the world smaller, like a village.Computers have improved our lives, but they have brought problems, too. For instance, if we work on computers too long, we may get headaches or sore eyes. If we play computer games too much, we won't have enough time to study or exercise. Besides, not everything we read on the Internet is true or good for us. Computers help us at work and at home, but they must be used properly.Scientists think that there 1.______ been life on earth for millions of years. However, we haven't found life on other planets yet. The earth 2.______ a planet and it goes around the sun. And there are seven other planets 3.______ also go around the sun. The sun and its planets are called the solar system. The solar system is a small part of the universe.Scientists have launched many spaceships to explore other planets in the solar system. Some spaceships have gone beyond the solar system. However, no one 4.______ discovered any life in space yet.Why has no one from other planets sent us a message? Have they tried 5.______ send information to us? With so many stars in space, are we alone, or is 7.______ life on other planets in space?What do you know about Mars? What does it look like?Mars is the fourth planet from the sun in our solar system and is named after Mars, the Roman god of war. Its diameter is 53% as wide as that of the earth. Mars goes around the sun at a distance of about 228 million kilometers. You can tell which planet is Mars because it is bright red in the night sky. It looks like a red and orange ball. It's very beautiful. But during spring and summer, the surface of Mars is covered by strong storms. The gravity on the surface of Mars is about two-fifths as strong as it is on earth. So a person who weighs 90 kilos on earth weighs only 36 kilos on Mars. The temperature on Mars is between -138℃and 28℃. The air has only 0.13% oxygen.It takes a spaceship about eight months to reach Mars from the earth when the two planets are closest to each other. Scientists are still searching for more information about Mars.Where Are We?Where are we? That was a big question when we first explored our world long ago. The early explorers found that the stars in the sky were good guiding marks. Using the stars, they could find out where they were and in which direction they were going.析This method worked well at night as long as the weather was good and the stars could be seen.析But it didn't work so well during the rest of the time.析That was a problem.Today, the problem has been solved by the Global Positioning System (GPS). It is like a man-made star. We can use it at any time, in any place and in any weather to find out our position. It can also be used to study the shape of the earth. The GPS is a great invention that helps us explore our planet and discover where we are.An invention may be a new product or a new way of doing things. Inventions come about in many ways.析Most of the time, inventions happen because someone works to solve a problem.Sometimes inventions are the result of accidents. Look at your schoolbags. You have pencils, pens, crayons rulers and some books. None of these things was planted in fields.析They were made in factories and invented by someone. Inventing is interesting and exciting and everyone can be an inventor. Do you want to be an inventor? There are a few simple steps to follow in the invention process.◆You can have wild and crazy thoughts. Remember that no idea is too silly. But they weren't discouraged by what people said. That's why now we have planes.◆Careful planning is important in the invention process. This is the time to brainstorm for ideas and to evaluate them.◆Make a detailed drawing of your invention so others will understand how your invention works.◆Make a model of your invention.◆See if your invention works as it is planned. If not, do more research, redesign it, and test it again.◆Every invention needs a name.A.Draw your invention.B. Name your invention.C. Test your invention.D. Use your imagination.E. Plan and design your invention.Are you facing problems in learning English? If so, the following two ways will help you to learn it more easily and with more fun!"I download English songs from the Internet. It has really improved my listening. What's more, I am happier when I study this way," said one junior student. Listening to your favorite English songs is actually an effective way. Before you listen, you can read first and find out what the song is about. While listening, pick some useful words or phrases. A dictionary may also be helpful if necessary.Watching a movie is another good and interesting way. "It is wonderful to watch movies, and it can help your English a lot!" said a junior three student. "You can also imitate the pronunciation of the actors." So choose your favorite movie before watching. Then have paper and a pen ready as you may want to write down useful words or phrases. In this way, you can increase the number of words and understand the dialogs better.Enjoy using the two ways, and you are sure to learn faster and do better!Some things usually have different meanings in different cultures. Here are some words about animals that are used differently in western cultures and Chinese culture.Most phrases in Chinese about the dog, such as "a homeless dog", "a mad dog", “a running dog" and“a dog catching a mouse", have negative meanings. But in western countries, dogs are considered honest and good friends of humans. The word, "dog", has positive meanings. For example, "you are a lucky dog" means you are a lucky person. And "every dog has its day" means each person has good luck at times.As we know, dragons are very important in Chinese culture. In ancient times, dragons were regarded as strong and magical creatures. They brought hope and good luck. The ancient emperors compared themselves to dragons. Nowadays, many parents want their children to become "dragons". But in western cultures, dragons were dangerous animals. Heroes killed themto protect people.Some things have similar meanings in Chinese culture and western cultures. The rose is regarded as a symbol of love in both China and some western countries. People in China and the West think the rose also stands for peace, courage and friendship. When we pay attention to the cultural meanings of words, we will understand them better.There are more than 3 000 languages spoken in the world.

九年级上册英语英语阅读理解汇编真题汇编(含答案)一、中考英语阅读理解汇编1．阅读理解Many environmental groups are warning that oceans of the world are in great danger. In the past 50 years, the number of water with zero oxygen（氧气） in the open ocean has increased more than four times. In the near coast water bodies, including the river mouth and seas, low-oxygen areas have increased more than 10 times since 1950.Scientists discover that oxygen continues dropping ever outside these zones as the Earth warms. To stop the drop, the world needs to control in both climate change and nutrient（养分） pollution.Oxygen is a must to life in the oceans. The drop in ocean oxygen is among the most serious effects of human activities on the Earth's environment.This is the first time for the scientists to take such a deep look at the causes, results and solutions to low oxygen worldwide, in both the open ocean and the near coast waters. About half of the oxygen on Earth comes from the ocean. However, mixed effects of nutrient loading and climate change are greatly increasing the number and size of "dead zones" in the open ocean and the near coast waters, where oxygen is too low to support most sea life.In the areas traditionally called "dead zones", like those in Chesapeake Bay and the Gulf of Mexico, oxygen drops to levels so low that many animals have trouble in breathing and die. As fishes run away from these zones, their living areas become smaller and smaller. But the problem goes far beyond "dead zones". Even smaller oxygen drops can hold up the growth in animals and lead to disease or even death. Low oxygen also can cause the release of dangerous chemicals. Although a few animals can grow well in dead zones, overall biodiversity（多样性）falls.（1）How to stop the drop of ocean oxygen in the article?A. By controlling in both climate change and nutrient pollution around the world.B. By taking a deep look at the causes, results and solutions to low oxygen worldwide.C. By running away from these zones, for the living areas become smaller and smaller.D. By cutting down the number of animals in the oceans.（2）Why are these waters called" dead zones" from the article?A. Because the oxygen in these areas is too low for most sea life to live.B. Because nutrient loading and climate change are greatly increasing.C. Because there are no animals living in these areas.D. Because low oxygen also can cause the release of dangerous chemicals.（3）Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the article?A. Only a few animals living in the sea need oxygen.B. Climate change can help cut down the dead zones.C. Fishes grow faster and better in low oxygen areas.D. Human activities have many serious effects on ocean environment.【答案】（1）A（2）A（3）D【解析】【分析】本文是介绍了世界海洋正处于极大的危险之中。
