牛津译林版中考英语复习：阅读理解专项练习题及答案全套Passage A (保健与健康类选练）Almost every day, we discuss the topic of health, especially for kids. But what is health? “Health”means eating well, getting enough exercise, and having a healthy weight. Let’s read the following rules. They can help you stay healthy.(1) Eat a variety of food, especially fruit and vegetables. We all know that eating fruit and vegetables can help us stay healthy, but many of us only eat our favorite food. Remember that we can only get the nutrition(营养) we need by eating different kinds of food, espe cially fruit and vegetables.(2) Drink water and milk most often. Everyone knows that water is important. Besides that, kids need plenty of calcium(钙) to grow strong bones, and milk is rich in it. Every day, you should drink at least three cups of milk, when you are 9 years old or older. You should also try to have less sugary drinks, like soda and coca. They include a lot of sugar. Sugar only includes calories(热量), not important nutrition.(3) Listen to your body. When you are eating, notice how your body feels. When your stomach feels comfortably full, stop eating. Eating too much makes you feel uncomfortable. If you do it too often, it can make unhealthy and fat.(4) Limit screen time. What’s screen time? It’s the amount of time you spend watching TV, movies and playing computer games.

Doctors tell us, "Eat and drink less, don't smoke, and exercise more."Running is a good form of exercise because it helps build a strong heart. It also helps most people lose weight. One 68-year-old woman runs thee times a week. She runs to lose weight. "I love to eat," she says.Running is good for health in other ways, too.

For example, the information for weather forecasts is sent by satellite. Some satellites have cameras which take photographs of the Earth to show how clouds are moving .Satellites are also used to connect our international phone calls.Computer connections of the World Wide Web and Internet also use satellites. Many of our TV programs come to US through satellites. Airplane pilots also sometimes use a satellite to help them find their exact location.We use satellites to send television pictures from one part of the world to another. They are usually 35，880 kilometers above the equator. Sometimes we can see a satellite in the sky and it seems to stay in the same place. This is because it is moving around the world at 11，000 kilometers an hour—exactly the same speed that the earth rotates. A satellite must orbit the Earth with its antennae facing the earth. Sometimes, it moves away from its orbit，So there are little rockets on it which are used to put the satellite back in the right position .This usually happens about every five or six days.Space is not empty! Every week, more and more satellites are sent into space to orbit the Earth. A satellite usually works for about 10-12 years. Satellites which are broken are sometimes repaired by astronauts or sometimes brought back to Earth to be repaired. Often，very old or broken satellites are left in space to orbit the Earth for a very long time. This is very serious because some satellites use nuclear power and they can crash into each other.1.Which of the following is NOT done by satellites according to the passage?A. Sending information for weather forecast.B. Taking photographs of the Earth.C. Sending TV pictures.D. Providing food for airplane pilots.2.What’s the speed the earth rotates at?A.35,880 kilometers per hour.B.335,880 kilometers per hour.C.11,000 kilometers per hour.D.110,000 kilometers per hour3.Why does the satellite move around the world at the same speed as the Earth rotates?A. In order to take photographs.B. In order to stay in a certain position in the orbit.C. In order to move away from its orbit.D. In order to send television pictures.4.What does the underlined word “This”in the 3rd paragraph refer to?A. A satellite.B.A little rocket.C. A satellite seems to stay in the same place in the sky.D. The satellite puts the rockets in the right position.5.Which is true of satellites?A. A satellite usually works for about 10-12 years.B .Every time a satellite gets broken，it is brought back to the Earth to be repaired.C. A broken satellite is never left in space.D. They often crash into each other.Passage ESome friends invite you over and serve you a delicious dinner. Someone lends you his car while there’s something wrong with yours. You are sick, and a friend brings you a meal and cares for you. How do you show your gratitude(感谢) ? Sometimes simply saying thank you is enough. At other times, it is thoughtful to say thank you in a more different way. Be sure to tell that person what you are grateful for and why you are grateful.Here are some common ways to say thank you.You can write a thank-you note. People are very busy these days. A handwritten note shows you took the time to tell someone you are grateful to him or her. Or you can call and thank the person. You would be surprised how this can make someone’s day. Another idea is to send a thank-you e- mail. This is not quite as personal, but it still shows your gratitude.There are many other ways to say thank you. To say thank you in a creative way, you can:★ Select some flowers from a shop. Write a thank-you note.★ Give the person a basket of fresh fruit or a homemade treat.★ Invite a friend to a movie, meal, snack or coffee.★ Give a gift card for a bookstore or a restaurant. That way the person can pick out a favourite book or eat out.★ Find out what the person likes and give something related to that.★ To say a big thank you to someone, have a party for that person.As you can see, there are many ways to say thank you. Think of some ways of your own. You will feel good trying one of the ideas, and the person being thanked will feel good too. It’s a win-win situation !1.

She was close behind it when she turned the comer, but the Rabbit was no longer to be seen. She found herself in a long, low hall.There were doors all around the hall, but they were all locked.Alice walked sadly down the middle, wondering how she was ever to get out again.Suddenly, she came upon a little three-legged table. There was nothing on it but a tiny golden key, and Alice's first idea was that this might belong to one of the doors of the hall.But, alas! Either the locks were too large, or the key was too small. However, on the second time round, she came upon a low curtain she had not noticed before and behind it was a little door.She tried the little golden key in the lock, and she was pleased to find it fitted! ( )1. The hall where Alice stayed is___________.A. long and lowB. big and highC. wide and lowD. big and wide( )2. What did Alice want to do when she got to the hall?A. She wanted to know how to get some foodB. She wanted to know where her sister wasC. She wanted to find out how to get out againD. She wanted to meet the Rabbit( )3.

But there aren't any researches to support this opinion. And in fact, it is not right at all. There is one thing that can finally decide students' success or failure. That is how they learn. A few students are clever and lucky. They find good ways for themselves to study every subject well. But others aren't so lucky like them. They don't find correct ways of their own and fail in the end. To teachers, what is the best way to teach languages? Dr. Asher found a way called “Total Physical Response”. This was helpful to students. Studies in San Jose State University showed that if students moved their bodies when learning English, they were able to learn a lot more new words and grammar in a very short time. But if they sat still and didn't move, they could learn less. And after a year, the students who moved their bodies when learning remembered 80% or more things they learned. But others forgot more than 80%.Now you may know how to learn English. Keep moving when you learn. So when you listen to a story or an article, do action as soon as you hear it. And you can imagine you are the person in the story or the article. By doing this, you can learn more English and you can remember it longer. The most useful is that you can use it more easily. Stop your old method. Try this one at once!1. What is the aim of Dr. Asher's Total Physical Response?A. For students to remember words.B. For teachers to teach languages.C. For parents to help their children.D. For schools to develop fast.2. When you learn new words, ________ can help learn them well.A. moving your bodiesB. listening to storiesC. reading articlesD. talking to others3. The underlined word “intelligence”in the passage means “________”in Chinese.A. 耐力B. 魄力C. 体力D. 智力4. What can you imagine when you listen to a story or an article?A. I am the writer of the story or article.B. I am the seller of the story or article.C. I am a character of the story or article.D. I am the teller of the story or article.5. What does the writer want to tell us?A. Ways to succeed in the future.B. Ways to do much more exercise.C. Ways to make new sentences.D. Ways to help people learn well.Passage HWhen migrants（移民）arrive in the US, they face a world that can be confusing in many ways. They need to learn to live in a different environment. Some laws and rules are written down. They can learn about them before they arrive. But there are lots of "unwritten rules," too. Unwritten rules are behaviors that no one talks about, but that most people understand.Here is a list of five important issues any new arrival to the U.S. should know about.Be "on time." In some cultures, time is not a big issue. If you tell your friend to meet you at 2 p.m. and you arrive at 2:45 p.m., there is no problem. In the U.S., people feel that being on time is a sign of respect. If you are late by more than a few minutes, people will think you do not care. They will feel you are wasting their time. They will take your lateness as an insult.Be sure you always "tip." In many countries, after you eat at a restaurant, you only pay the amount shown on the bill. But, in the U.S., people who work in restaurants and bars often earn a low hourly wage. So, they try to provide excellent service, hoping the customer will give them a "tip," meaning a little extra. People in the U.S. tip between 15 percent and 20 percent of the bill. You also give tips to taxi drivers, hotel employees and the people who cut your hair.Be careful what you say. Any place you go there will be some things that are proper to talk about and some things that are not. Supposing that people have the same beliefs as you is a bad idea. In the past decade, people in the U.S. have become more open about discussing strong political and religious views. But it is still best to listen to people share their opinions first and then decide about sharing your own. Also, there are several topics you should avoid asking questions about: how much money a person makes and if they are married. But if a person offers this information, then there is no problem.Be polite for the situation. People in the U.S. define being polite in very special ways. For example, waiting in line involves a strong set of rules in this country. You must wait until the people in front of you have done what they are waiting to do. When going through a door, the person behind you expects you to hold the door for them. Also, it is common for people you do not know to say hello to you when passing you. But this does not always mean they are inviting you to stop and talk for a long time. Many times the person is just being friendly. If you don't say hello back to them they may think you are being unfriendly.1. The passage talks about several issues except ______.A. timeB. personal spaceC. giving tipD. education2. What's the meaning of the word confusing in paragraph 1?A. 轻而易举的B. 引人发笑的C. 令人疑惑的D. 令人尴尬的3. If you are late in the U. S., the one you meet________.A. will insult youB. will think you don't respect him/herC. will think it's okayD. will ask you for some tip4. How many examples are shown on "being polite"?A. 1.B. 2.C. 3.D. 4.5. Which of the following is TRUE in the US?A. It's not polite to ask a person if he/she is married.B. You'd better think that people have the same beliefs as you.C. It's not allowed to discuss about religious views.D. People usually tip 80 dollars if their bill is 80 dollars.Passage I (小说类)People have told stories about Robin Hood for over 700years. Nobody knows if he was a real person or an inventedcharacter.

He probably left early.”“What do you mean, probably?”asked Grant.Henderson looked at Grant. Grant was sixty with thick black hair and a large moustache. His clothes, as always, looked rather old: a blue jacket and grey trousers. He did not look much of a party animal either.“Well, I don’t check when my guests arrive and leave,”said Henderson. “And some people just leave when they want to go home.

Day OneGet your food onlineOpen an app, place your order, and wait for your food to be delivered (递送) to your home – this is how many people eat in China these days. According to the latest data (数据) from the China Internet Network Information Center, 421 million Chinese people use online food delivery services. That’s equal to half of the total number of internet users in China.Which group of people is ordering food online the most? Unsurprisingly, it’s mainly young people. A recent report that was jointly (联合) published by the China Hospitality Association and Meituan, a food delivery service, showed that 86.3 percent of the service’s users are between 20 and 34 years old. These people, who are more likely (可能的) to live in small families, are the major force driving thedevelopment of the food delivery industry (行业).Small families depend greatly on food delivery services. According to the National Bureau of Statistics, Chinese families have changed in size over the past decade. In 2002, only 7.7 percent of families were single-person households. But this number increased to 15.6 percent in 2017. The percentage of two-person families rose from 18.4 in 2002 to 27.2 in 2017. For small families, cooking is relatively (相对) more time- and resource-consuming (耗时耗材), so ordering food online has become more popular.The improvement of China’s food delivery services has also attracted more customers. According to Meituan’s report, the average time it takes to make a food delivery dropped from 38 minutes in 2016 to 29 minutes in 2019. Many delivery platforms are also offering more services, delivering products such as fruit, vegetables, medicine and flowers. As its services continue to improve, it’s likely that the food delivery industry will keep growing.1. What is the story mainly about?A. A food ordering app.B. The food delivery industry.C. Single-person families.D. Young people’s eating habits.2. People in which age group use food delivery services the most in China?A. Younger than 20.B. Between 10 and 34.C. Between 20 and 34.D.

Over any six-month period, between five to sevenpercent of the world's population will be suffering from a serious depression．A recent research shows that the more teenagers watch television, the morelikely they are to develop depression as young adults.The researchers used a nationwide long-term survey of teenage health to investigate(调查) the relationship between media(传播媒介) use and depression.They based their findings on more than four thousand teenagers who were not depressed when the survey began in 2000.As part of the survey, the young people were asked how many hours of televisionor videos they watched daily. They were also asked how often they played computer games and listened to the radio. Media use totaled an average of five and one-half hours a day. More than two hours of that was spent watching TV.Seven years later, in 2007, more than seven percent of the young people had signs of depression. The average age at that time was twenty-one.The researchers say they did not find any such relationship with the use of other media such as movies, video games of radio etc. But the study did find that everyextra hour of television meant an eight percent increase in the chances of developing signs of depression. Young men were more likely than young women to develop depression given the same amount of media use.The study didn’t explore if watching TV causes depression. But one possibility is that it was taking time away from activities that could help prevent depression.Last December, the journal Social Indicators Research published a study of activities that help lead to happy lives. Sociologists from the University of Maryland found that people who describe themselves as happy spend less time watching television than unhappy people. The study found that happy people are more likely tobe socially active, to read, to take part in religious services and to vote.1. The survey shows that of all the media uses.A. most teenagers prefer to listen to the radioB. teenagers enjoy watching TV very muchC. computer games are teenagers’ favouriteD. magazines are mentioned in the survey2.The result of the research seems to prove .。

Interests and hobbies.BSmartphones have become an important part of our daily life. However, to protect younger students’ eyesight and make sure they focus on their studies, primary and middle schools will have more specific rules to limit students’ mobile phone use at school.The Ministry of Education released a notice in January that forbids primary and middle school students from carrying mobile phones to school. Those who still require their phones for some reason must get their parents’ and teachers’ agreement and must hand their phones over during class time.The policy aims to improve students’ focus on study and fight addiction to the Internet and games.According to a 2020 report by the China Internet Network Information Center, China had 175 million Internet users under the age of 18 in 2019, with 74 per cent having their own mobile devices.This is worrying, as long time use of smartphones harms children’s eyesight, cervical vertebrae and even the brain, according to the World Health Organization.On Feb. 19, Beijing Municipal Education Commission released a notice that asked all local primary and middle schools to include rules regarding smartphone usage in school management. Schools should make clear who will take care of the phones for students who have received agreement to bring them.Many schools have taken action to limit students’ phone use at school. According to Zhou Dandan, an English teacher at Beijing No. 20 High School, every classroom in her school has a box to store students phones during class.Before the new rules, she noticed that many students lost themselves in their phones. Some even played games on them during class. Zhou said that most students lack self discipline. “Spending too much time on the phone will distract them and prevent them f rom learning,” she added.Li Jisen, an 18-year-old student from Beijing 101 Middle School, agrees with the new policy. “In general, there are more advantages than disadvantages,” he said. Li believes that limiting phone use at school is the only way to put the focus back on studies.Kathy Chen, a parent from Shanghai, allowed her daughter to take her phone to school. Chen said it’s more important to cultivate kids’ ability to self manage and develop good habits of phone usage.1. Why will students’ mobi le phone use be limited at school?A. For both students’ health and studies.B. To stop students chatting with others.C. For the safety of school network system.D. To help students get good grades.2. What does the underlined word “forbids” in th e passage probably mean?A. Protects.B. Prevents.C. Separates.D. Encourages.3. What can we learn from Paragraph 2?A. Nobody is allowed to take smartphones to school.B. Students mustn’t use smartphones during class time.C. Smartphones ca n’t be used to search for answers.D. Students can apply to use smartphones in class.4. What action does Beijing No. 20 High School take?A. Students should put their phones in the teachers’ office.B. Students’ phones are taken care of by their cl ass teacher.C. Students’ phones should be kept in a box during class.D. Students are taught how to use their phones properly.5. What does the last paragraph mainly want to tell us?A. Some parents allow their children to play games in class.B. Students in Shanghai are allowed to use phones freely.C. Students should be encouraged to use phones properly.D. Most of the parents have good habits of phone use.CA young man went to see a wise man, saying that he set many goals for himself, but years later he still accomplished nothing.When he found the wise man, the latter was reading in the cottage by the river. With a smile, the wise man heard the young man’s words, and said to him, “Come and help me boil a kettle of water first!”The young man saw a big kettle standing in the corner, next to a small fire stove, but he found no firewood, so he went out for it.He came back with some dead wood, filled up the kettle with water and put on the stove. He put some firewood in the stove and burned up, but because the kettle was too large, when the firewood burned out, the water did not boil. Then he ran off to get firewood. When he went back, the water had nearly turned cold. This time he became smart, so he was not eager to light the fire, but went out to look for some firewood again. Because the firewood was well prepared, the water boiled pretty soon.The wise man suddenly asked him, “If there is not enough firewood, how should you boil the water?”The young man thought for a moment but he d idn’t know what to answer. So he shook his head without saying anything.The wise man said, “If so, pour out some water of the kettle!”The young man nodded thoughtfully.The wise man continued, “You had so many wishes at first and set too many targets, just as the large kettlewas filled with too much water but you didn’t have enough firewood, so you couldn’t boil the water, and if you wanted to make the water boil, you either emptied some of the water or prepared some firewood!”The young man saw the light suddenly. When he went back, he removed many listed goals from his plan, leaving only a few recent ones, while with spare time he studied all kinds of specialities. A few years later, his goals were realized.Only by condensing and starting from the nearest goal will you move toward the success step by step. If you bear all things by heart, you will only give up halfway. Besides, only if we can keep picking up the “firewood”, we can make life warm up and let life boil in the end.1. The young man went to a wise man to ______ .A. help him boil a kettle of waterB. set many goals for himC. help him get enough firewoodD. ask him for some advice2. The water did not boil at first because ______ .a. the kettle was filled with too much waterb. the fire stove was too smallc. the man was not smart enoughd. the firewood was not enoughA. abB. adC. bcD. dc3. When the young man went back, he ______ .A. went on his planB. removed some goalsC. changed his goalsD. bore all things by heart4. The underlined word “targets” means ______ .A. goalsB. thingsC. kettlesD. plans5. The story mainly wants to tell us that ______ .A. if we pick up enough firewood, we can make water boilB. if we set too many goals, we can be successful more easilyC. if we want to succeed, we need proper targets and full preparationsD. if we pour out some water, we can easily make the water boilDOne January morning, the captain got up early and walked down to the beach. It was a cold wi nter’s day with the sun still low in the sky. My mother was upstairs with my father, who was now very ill. That year the winter was long and hard, and we knew my father would not see another spring.I was getting the table ready for the captain’s breakfas t. Suddenly, the door of the hotel opened and a man stepped inside. I had never seen him before. He wore a sailor’s short knife by his side, and I noticed he had only three fingers on his left hand.I asked him what he wanted and he said, “I’ll take a glass of rum.” But before I could get it, he told me to come near him. “Is this table for my old friend Bill?” the stranger asked, with a terrible smile.I told him I did not know his friend Bill and that the breakfast was for a man who was staying at the in n. “We call him the captain,” I said.“Does he have a sword cut on his face?” he asked.“Yes,” I said.“That’s Bill,” said the stranger. “Is he here?”I told him the captain was out walking, and the man waited, like a cat waiting for a mouse. I did not like the look on his face and was sure the captain would not be pleased to see him.When the captain came back, the man pulled me behind the door. The captain opened the door and walked across the room.“Bill,” said the stranger.The captain turned quic kly and saw us. The colour went from his face and he looked old and sick. “Black Dog!” he said. He looked at the stranger. “And what do you want?”“I’ll have a glass of rum,” said Black Dog. “Then you and I will sit and talk like old friends.”I got the rum and they told me to go away. I went out of the room, but the voices became louder.“No, no, and that’s an end of it!” I heard the captain shout. “If one is caught, we’ll all be caught!”There were more shouts, and then the sound of the table crashing over. Next, I heard the sound of swords, then out ran Black Dog with blood running down his shoulder. He ran out of the inn and along the road. In a few seconds, he disappeared.The captain watched him go, then said, “Jim, quick! Bring me rum.”He turned and went back into the hotel, but he could only just stand on his feet. I realized he was feeling ill and ran to get the rum. Then I heard him falling and hurried back to find him on the floor.My mother heard the noise and came downstairs. We lifted the ca ptain’s head. His eyes were closed and his face had a terrible colour.At that moment Dr Livesey arrived to see my father. He looked at the captain and said to my mother, “His heart can’t take much more of this. I told him drinking rum would kill him, and that it nearly has.”The captain opened his eyes and tried to sit up. “Where’s Black Dog?” he asked.“There’s no Black Dog here,” said the doctor. “Get on your feet and I’ll help you to your bed.”文章节选自《金银岛》(Treasure Island )1.

But, what exactly does that mean?Use it upYou can use things up instead of wasting them. Squeeze that last bit of toothpaste out of the tube. Use the last little piece of soap. Don’t throw away any bits of the biscuit at the bottom of the box.Wear it outYou do not always need to have new things. Suppose your sneakers have broken laces, but they still fit you, repair them and wear them longer. You don’t have the latest iPhone until the old one doesn’t work any more. Then you can get a new one. Think twice before replacing something that still works.Make it doWhen something you want is not on hand, look for something else that you already have to take its place. Suppose you are packing your lunch for tomorrow and want a butter sandwich, but you are out of butter. Have a cheese sandwich instead so that you can use all of the cheese. Learn to fix broken toys instead of just throwing them away. With a little thought, you can make something do, instead of buying something new.Do withoutThink about all those things that you would like to have. Do you really need them? How long will you really play with that new toy you saw on TV? Making the things that we want uses up our world’s resources. And, throwing away the things we don’t want any more takes up even more resources and space.Use low-costIt is accepted that choosing a durable product is a lot more cost effective and environmentally friendly. Take clothes for example, many clothes today must be dry cleaned. Dry cleaning is expensive. When buying new clothes, check to see if they will need to be dry cleaned. You will save money if you buy clothes that can be washed. You can save money if you buy clothes that are well made. Well made clothes last longer. They look good even after they have been washed many times.BPeople all over the world eat rice. Millions of people in Asia, Africa and South America eat it every day. Some people eat almost nothing but rice.Rice is a kind of crop. There are so many kinds of rice. Rice is grown in many countries, even in the southern part of the United States and in Eastern Australia.No one really knows where rice came from. Some scientists think that it started to be planted in two places. They think that one kind of rice was planted in Southern Asia thousands of years ago. Someone in China wrote about it almost 5. 000 years ago. Another kind was probably grown in Western Africa. Other scientists think that rice came from India, and that Indian travellers took it to other parts of the world.There are two main ways to grow rice. Upland rice is grown in dry soil. Most rice is planted in wet soil. People in many countries do all of the work of growing rice by hand. In some countries, people now use machines on their rice farms. The farmers all use fertilizer. Some insects are enemies of rice. Farmers poison them.People use every part of the rice plant. They make animal food and rice oil from it. They also make baskets, brooms, roofs and other things for their houses. They burn dry rice plants for cooking.根据短文内容, 回答下列问题。

2019-2020年初三中考专项练习---综合阅读任务型阅读（一） We all have good habits and bad habits and everyone wants to give up bad habits. A habit is an activity that we have got used to. It's not easy to break a bad habit because we have got used to it, and it has become our favourite lifestyle. We are so used to our bad habits that most of the time we even don't realize that we have them until someone points them out to us. So the first step that will lead to changing a bad habit is to accept the fact that is not good for you. Since you know you have developed a bad habit, it's best to find out why you developed it in the first place. Find out the reason behind it, as that will help you in understanding why you're so willing to perform that act. There is nothing to feel scared of. You have to face it and then give it up.Find out the bad influence that bad habits have brought you. For example, a bad habit of getting up late can destroy the plan of your whole day. And, if this is what you do every day, then imagine how many days it has already eaten up. Realize this and make up your mind to give it up.An alarm (警报) is something that will prevent you from performing your habit. For example, to avoid getting up late, set an alarm and decide that you need to make a little effort to reach it to turn it off.Tell your family and friends about your decision so that they can prevent you from performing the bad habit and also remind you of the promise you made to yourself.Reward yourself every time you stop yourself from performing the bad habit. This will keep you encouraged to break the bad habit and at the same time make you happy. There are habits that people have carried with them for years and it will surely take some time to give them up. However, breaking a habitis a better choice than letting it grow into an addiction(瘾). Try giving up a bad habit, and feel the difference in yourself. You will be proud of yourself and I will certainly congratulate you on it.参考答案1.break2.difficult / hard3.Ways / Advice / Suggestions4.brave5.reason6.avoid7.family8.when9.encourage 10.make（二）More and more Chinese would like to travel to the USA and prefer to drive by themselves. They need to know something about driving in America, which will be helpful to them and bring a happy holiday to them.Keep RightThe traffic follows the “keep right rule”. While driving, drive on the right side of the road, which is completely different from that in Britain. On one-way, multiple lanes(车道) road, the right-most lane would be slowest and left-most lane is fastest.Hand SignalsThough indicators(指示灯) are used for the purpose of showing which direction you are going, knowing some hand signals is very important and they are always asked in a driving test. When you want to turn right, you can put your left hand out of the window and point upward. When you want to make a left turn, you can reach your left arm out of the window and point to the left. If you want to slow down or stop, you can just point downward.School BusesYellow school buses have flashing red lights and stop signs that reach out from the driver’s side. The drivers use these warning signals when letting pupils on and off. No matter which side of the road you are traveling on, if you come upon(偶遇) a school bus with its lights flashing and a stop sign used, you must stop. It’s the law. Remain stopped until the lights stop flashing or the stop sign is removed.Using the HornUsing horns is not common in America. Actually they are very rarely used. You may use your horn to warn walkers or other drivers of possible trouble or to avoid accidents. Do not use your horn to express anger or complain about other drivers’ mistakes or to try to get a slow driver to move faster.1：America 2：reason(s) 3：prefer 4：help 5：right: 6：same 7：faster 8：importance 9：against 10：expressing（三）In modern society there is a great deal of argument about competition. Some value it highly, for they believe that it is helpful for social progress and richness. Others say that competition is bad, and that it sets one person against another and leads to unfriendliness between people.I have trained many children who held the belief that their self-worth came from how well they performed at tennis and other skills. For them, playing well and winning are often life-and-death matters. Sadly, they forget to develop many other human qualities.However, while some seem to be lost in the strong wish to succeed, others think quite the opposite . In a culture which values only the winner and pays no attention to the ordinary(普通) players, they strongly blame competition, especially youngsters who have suffered under competitive pressures(压力) from their parents or society. Teaching these young people, I often find that they even choose to fail. They seem to choose failure by not trying to win or achieve success. By not trying, they always have an excuse: “I may have lost, but it doesn't matter because I really didn't try.” In fact, they are worried that if they had really tried and failed, the failurewould mean that they were worth nothing.Clearly, this belief is the same as that of the true competitors who try to prove themselves. Both are based on the mistaken belief that one's self-worth comes from how well one performs in comparison(比较) with others. Both are afraid of not being valued. We can only discover a new meaning in competition as much worries and fear begin to disappear.Title: Opinions about competition参考答案：1.forward2. causes3.only/just4.failing5.suggestion/ advice（四）People can often see beggars (乞讨者) sit by the side of a street with heads low as they pass by. Some ask people passing by for a small amount of money and some just sit and wait to be given money. A few use aggressive (有攻击性的) behavior to make money.To solve the problem of aggressive begging, an alternative(供选择的) giving plan has been suggested. Ten blue money boxes will be placed in busy places with the encouragement that people don’t give money directly to beggars but instead, to give it to the local charity for the homeless.Those who support this plan think it will be a good way to solve the problems of beggars. But the police are against the plan arguing that beggars who do not receive money may turn to criminals. The homeless charity believes the success of any plan will depend on its style. They think that imaginative and positive plans can help create local understanding and kindness instead of hardness. Most of the beggars dislike the plan because they think they will not get enough money from the boxes for their showers, food and clothes.Begging is a big social problem both in developing and developed countries. Governments must play a big role in solving this problem. Training beggars to work and helping them to find proper jobs are especially true for developing countries where many low-skill jobs are offered. The general community should also be educated to see beggars not as dirty and dangerous, but as people who need understanding and help.1：encouraged 2.ideas 3:agree 4: whether 5:considered/seen(五）Louis Cha Leung-yung, one of the greatest Chinese wuxia fiction writers, passed away on October30, 2018, at the age of 94. Better known by his pen name Jin Yong, Cha built a fantastic wuxia world and created different types of heroes admired by a large number of fans.It is said that where there are Chinse-speaking communities, there are people reading Jin Yong’s books.In 1950, Cha, a newspaper reporter, met and worked together with Chen Wentong, who wrote wuxia stories under the pen name of Liang Yusheng. Encouraged by Chen, Cha began to publish his first novel five years later. Then he set up daily newspaper Ming Pao with Shen Baoxin in 1959, where he published some of his following works. Today, Ming Pao becomes one of the most important newspapers in Hong Kong which influences the society an d people’s life.From 1955 to 1972, Cha wrote 14 novels and one short story of wuxia. The interest and taste of readers have been changing, but his books continue to be attractive. His works have been adapted into films and TV series for many times, such as The Return of the Condor Heroes(《神雕侠侣》).No matter how smart and strong Cha’s heroes appear, they are not perfect and make mistakes from time to time, just like all of us in real life. What makes someone a hero is the courage and ability to make decisions and devote themselves to their communities. The kung fu masters in the books are loyal to friends and family while brave enough to die for their homeland if needed.The purpose of Cha in writing novels is to show traditional values and qualities. “Tradit ional values are shown through the characters and their stories, not by talking to readers,” Cha once said.Louis Cha Leung-yung who is better known by his pen nam e Jin Yong, is 2 with Chinese-speaking people.1950●He met Chen Wentong, a wuxia fiction writer when 3 as a reporter.1. introduction2. popular3. working/serving4.

But I’ve thought a lot about the life that you have ahead of you, and about my role as a dad in trying to prepare you for the difficulties that you’ll face.I hope to help you along your path by sharing some of the best of what I've learned. As with any advice, take it with a grain of salt. What works for me might not work for you.Life can be unkindThere will be people in your life who won’t be very nice. They’ll laugh at you or try to hurt you because you’re different. There’s not much you can do about these people except to learn to deal with them, and learn to choose friends who are kind to you and who make you feel goodabout yourself. When you find friends like this, treasure them, spend time with them and love them.Be open to life anywayYes, you’ll face something that you don’t know in your life, but don’t move back from life, don’t hide or wall yourself off. Be open to new things, new experiences, new people.Life isn’t a competitionYou will meet many people who won’t fall behind you, in school, in college, at work. To them, life is a competition. B ut here’s the secret: life isn’t a competition. It’s a journey. Learn toenjoy the journey and make it a journey of happiness and success.Love should be your ruleIf there’s a word you should live your life by, it should be this: love. It might sound out ofdate, I know, but trust me, there’s no better rule in life. Love your loved ones, and your classmates,your co-workers, strangers, even those bad men. The person who is hardest on you, unkind toyou ..., love him. He is most in need of your love. And most of all, love yourself and learn to love yourself for who you are.Finally, know that I love you and always will.

In a bus you may look at stranger, but not too long. And ifhe notices that he is being looked at, he may feel uncomfortable.The same in daily life. If you are looked at for more than necessary, you will look at yourself up and down, to see if there is anything wrong with you. If nothing goes wrong, you willfeel angry toward other’s stare(盯着) with you that way. Eyes do speak, right?Looking too long at someone may seem to be rude and aggressive. But things are differentwhen it comes to look at the opposite sex. If a man look at a woman for more than 10 seconds and refuses to turn away from his looking, his purpose are clear, that is, he wishes to attract her attention, to make her understand that he is admiring her.However, the common eye contact for two people during a conversation is that the speakerwill only look at the listener from time to time, in order to make sure that the listener does pay attention to what the former is speaking, to tell him that he is interested.If a speaker looks at you when speaking, as if he tries to control you, you will feel uncomfortable. We usually find a poor liar(说谎者) looking too long at the victim, since he believes that it is a sign of honest communication to look straight in the eye. Totally wrong.In fact, continuous eye contact only happens between lovers only, who will enjoy looking at each other gently for a long time, to show feelings that words cannot express.

But if we think about what is going on in our lives, we can usually come up with an answer. Let’s look at some of the most common dreams. What are the meanings of these dreams?FallingYou’re falling, falling, falling… and then you wake up. This dream is said to mean you are in fear of something or worried about something. There may be something in your life that is out of control and there is nothing you can do to stop it. Another explanation is that you may experience failure in something. Maybe you’re not d oing well in school or work.Taking an exam (or forgetting that you have one)You suddenly realize you have to take an exam at that very moment. You might be running here and there to find your classroom. Scientists say this dream may me an you’re being tested about something or maybe you are facing a challenge.FlyingDreaming that you are flying means you are on top of things. You are in control of the things that matter to you. It may also mean you have confidence in yourself and think no one and nothing can beat you.Trying to run, but going nowhereYou’re trying to run, but either of your legs won’t move or you simply aren’t going anywhere.

A cat might be "duang cute", for example.

I have been living in Spain for just over a month now. This week my 1came from England to visit me. They were here from Monday 2Friday. My father hired a car in order to get around the area easily. So we visited Zaragoza for the day, and went to see beautiful vineyards(葡萄园) and wine factories. My family 3came to the school I worked in during the day to meet my teachers.We had such a 4time together and I was so happy to 5my new life with them. The trips to new cities were a lot of fun. My sister actually put the reason 6the trips had been so special into words,“Cindy, I have loved staying here 7the people who you know and the people who we have met are all so welcoming and lovely.

(本大题共5分，每小题1分)I have lived in France for nine years, but I cannot walk down the street without being recognized(认出) as an Englishman from 50 metres away before I open my mouth. Why?In France, the quickest way to recognize an Englishman is that he'll be the one with the belly(肚子) and the shirt hanging out. Englishmen often wear shapeless black T-shirts, either too big or too small. However. Frenchmen are more formal in dressing. Their T-shirts have collars(领子). Shorts have buttons and zips rather than drawstrings(拉绳). Shoes look expensive.Englishmen think of lunchtime as 1 p.m. but for Frenchmen it is 12 o'clock, one hour earlier. This may explain the sad looks if an Englishman arrives at a local restaurant at 1:30 p.m. At that time most restaurants don't have waiters. All the cooking and serving may be done by the boss and his wife. When you arc shown to your table, just sit there and wait. Don't wave your hands to the waiters. Englishmen think guests should do something to make the waiters pay attention to them. But in France some bread and water will come first, then the waiters will take your order according to the rhythm(节奏) of the restaurant. Have enough patience!Some 1 between Englishmen and Frenchmen● have lunch at or after 1 pm● do something to attract the3 attention答案differences cost waiter’s/waiters’ less patientBAnger is a natural reaction(反应) which comes out when we feel that we have not been treated fairly. The good side of this negative emotion（负面情绪）is that it has helped us to shape and improve our manners. However it will become a problem if we can’t control i t. For example, sometimes it happens that your anger hurts others or breaks your friendship and you regret later. It is also bad for the health.We should control anger so that it does not cause harm to us or to those we love. One of the best ways to control anger is to get help from others. If you feel that you are unable to manage your anger, it can make more trouble. So tell someone that is close to you, a friend or a family member about your problem. When you discuss a matter with others, there is a better chance to solve your problems. Besides, to be humorous is a good choice to reduce your anger. When you feel that it is because of stress that your anger is out of control, you can use humor. It can help you look at difficult things in a lighter way and you will feel better about the things around you.Anger makes us have a lot of negative thoughts. So we have to change the negative thoughts into positive ones. For this, you must say ‘No’ to all the negative thoughts in your mind first. This can be done with a lot of practice. When you are successful in that, you have to think only about positive things of life.Meditation(冥想)is an excellent anger management way. What’s more, what we do is to keep ourselves from the outer world, and just care about the inner world. This helps us develop a sense of controlling our thoughts that can cause anger.1.treat2. deal3. close4. Refuse5. controlCGraffiti (涂鸦) is a common feature of most Western cities. The word graffiti was from the Greek word, graphein, which only meant writing. These days, however, the word means drawing or writing on the walls of buildings, or the public transportation, such as trains or buses.Graffiti, as a form of expression, was born in New York during the 1960s and 1970s. At that time, a new modern culture about city life appeared. Graffiti was a written form of expression of that life. Later, it was mixed with a musical form called hip-hop that was another expression of the city life.At first, graffiti artists used pens. But then, with the growth of graffiti, they became experienced. They turned to using cans of paint (喷漆). Spray paint enabled (使......能够) them to cover a greater area. And it also enabled them to work quickly, which helped the graffiti artists a lot when they worked in neighborhoods where graffiti wasn’t welcome.At present, different people have different ideas about graffiti. Some people say it makes the cities dirty. Many local governments have ordered people not to make graffiti in the United States. The governments spend more than a million dollars a year cleaning graffiti. The money, they say, could be better spent on health or education. Other people think it is a form of art. In fact, the works of some famous graffiti artists can be found in museums, galleries, and art books.答案1. meaning 2. born 3. possible 4. allowed 5. wasteDWhether we are going to school or going to work, we are all sad to leave the weekend behind and go back to our Monday morning blues.

The great writer diedin Hong Kong at the age of 94 after a long illness.In 1955, Jin published his first wuxia novel, The BookAnd the Sword《书剑恩仇录》.The novel was a great success.Then Jin went on to write 14 hugely popular wuxia novels, ending with The Deer and the Cauldron《鹿鼎记》in 1972. In these novels, Jin successfully created an imagined world of jianghu and also some of the most well-known characters in the history of Chinese literature, including Guo Jing, WeiXiaobao and Ling Huchong. Jin Yong also used some stories from history and traditional Chinese culture to make this imagined world. Jin was considered as one of the greatest wuxia novelists with over 300 million copies in book sales. His books have been translated into many languages，including English, French, Korean, Japanese, Vietnamese, and Thai.Just as the saying goes, "Wherever there are Chinese, you will find Jin Yong's novels." Jin Yong has won the hearts of many, from primary school students to university professors, from national leader Deng Xiaoping to billionaire(亿万富翁)Jack Ma. He touched many people not only through his books, but also through films, TV shows, comics, and video games.When news broke that Jin died, the whole world felt shocked. Jack Ma, a lifelong lover of wuxia said, "It's a huge loss for Chinese people around the world. And it's especially sad for us as Jin's wuxia spirit has become a core value of Alibaba." Ma said. Many of his employees(雇工)gavethemselves nicknames(绰号)drawn from characters in Jin's novels.

We will research into some commonly used words and expressions. As with other languages, American English is rich in expressions thatcome from animals. Today we will talk about the wolf.Wolves are important animals in the traditions and stories of America. Before the European arrived at North America in the 1500s, to native Americans, wolves often meant being brave.However, in English, wolves are not to be trusted. Perhaps wolves attacked too many people or ate too many farm animals. Whatever the reason, wolves were killed in many places. So many died that they almost became endangered. They also became known as bad animals.To begin with, there is an expression "lone wolf'. If we call somebody a lone wolf, he isn't a bad person, but he may like to do things by himself. In fact, he sometimes makes you think he doesn't want to be around people because he dislikes them.Now, let's move on to the home. Parents tell their children not to "wolf down" their food. In other words, the child eats too quickly and without care. And if someone says a child was "raised by wolves", that child has bad manners and is behaving like a wild animal.A "wolf call" is the noise made by a man to show that he likes the way a woman looks. But a wolf call is not a nice thing. These men sound rude. And trust me, most women really hate wolf calls. So, they don't help a man in the game of love.By the way, there is a popular expression about wolf from a very old story: a wolf in sheep's clothing. A wolf in sheep's clothing describes someone who acts and looks nice on the outside but is bad on the inside. It tells us not to be fooled by appearances.52. What can we know after reading the passage?A. Wolves are dangerous and should be killed in order to protect other animals.B. We can expect to find expressions about wolves only in American English.C. In different areas and times, wolves make people think of different things.D. Nobody lived in North America before the Europeans went there in the 1500s.53. If a person is called "a lone wolf ", which of the following things would he probably do?A. Helping classmates to finish homework.B. Using others' computer if nobody is watching.C. Making many friends with people around.D. Going to see a movie on his own after school.54. Which of the following expressions can be used on a student who often breaks school rules?A. A lone wolf.B. Raised by wolves.C. Wolf call.D. A wolf in sheep's clothing.55. Where is it possible for us to find the passage?A. A book for travel guide.B. A magazine on trade and business.C. A science report.D.

Most humans always believe that we dogs have a quite easy life, but it is not really true. Not every dog has a home, and most dogs have been thrown away when they were very young.

They were looking for dogs as their pets. I was happy that other animals were getting homes. But as for me, I was totally upset because no human had ever looked at me once. I have never felt so lonely in my life yet.Until one day I heard the dogcatchers greeting each other with "Merry Christmas". I woke up to find a child staring at me. I raised my head and looked him back in his small smiling face "Mommy, can I have this one for Christmas" said the little boy, looking at his mother hopefully.Well, it had to be the greatest day of my life.

Several leading educational psychologists(心理学家)say this is one of the biggest mistakes that can cause great problems to children.However, if parents are a little gentler, the child may act successfully -especially if the parents can support him. Michael Li is very lucky. He is very fond of music ，and his parentshelp him a lot by taking him to concerts and inviting a teacher to give him personal piano lessons. They even drive him 59 kilometers twice a week for violin lessons. Although Michael's mother knows very little about music，Michael's father plays the piano very well. However, he never makes Michael enter music competitions if he is unwilling.Michael's friend, Winston Chen, however, is not so lucky. Although both his parents are successful musicians, they set too high a standard for Winston. They want their son to be as successful as they are，so they let him take part in every piano competition. They are very unhappy when he does not win. " When I was your age，I used to win every competition I entered，" Winston's father tells him.

If everyone has a car and drives anywhere they want to go, there will be serious traffic problems on the road. Luckily, trains are a good form of public transport.British people use trains a lot. This is especially so for people who are travelling fromLondon to Paris. Every day about 20 trains leave London. They travel at a very high speed and people feel glad that the trains take only 2 hours and 30 minutes to reach Paris. It's much faster to travel by train than by bus or by car. Thi s is because people have to drive cars or buses very carefully and slowly for many reasons, such as speed limits and traffic jams(堵塞).However, when you are travelling by train, the speed is almost the same and there is no traffic jam for a train.Besides，Londoners think taking a train is one of the safest ways of travelling on the ground. Trains take quite a number of quality tests while they are made. More importantly，they have to take many safety checks before they are used on the rail track.What's more, trains in Britain are comfortable(舒适的)and provide fine services for their users.When you are on a London train, you will find that the train has comfortable tables and seats where people can sit.
