It used to be thought that this couldn't be helped， but new studies show that people of any age can train their brains to work faster. "Your brain is a learning machine，" says University of California scientist Dr. Michael Merzenich. Given the right tools， we can train our brains to act like they did when we were younger. All that's required is the practice designed just for the purpose: a few exercises for the mind. Merzenich has developed a computer-based training method to speed up the process（过程） in which the brain deals with information (). Since much of the data we receive comes through speech， the Brain Fitness Program works with language and hearing to better speed and accuracy （准确性）.Over the course of training， the program starts asking you to tell sounds (between "dog" and "bog"， for example) at an increasingly faster speed. It's a bit like tennis instructor， says Merzenich，hitting balls at you faster and faster to keep you challenged. You may start out slow，but before long you're pretty quick.The biggest finding in brain research in the last ten years is that the brain at any age is highly plastic. If you ask your brain to learn， it will learn. And it may even speed up while in the process. To keep your brain young and plastic you can do one of a million new activities that challenge and excite you：playing table tennis or bridge，doing crossword puzzles， learning a language.... "When it comes to preventing ageing，you really do 'use it or lose it'，" says Barbara Sahakian， professor at Cambridge University.1. According to the new studies， what will happen to our brains?A. They will not start slowing down until the age of 30B. They will start working slowly after the age of 30C. They can work as well as at a young age through certain exercisesD. They can not be improved once they start to slow down2. The writer mentioned many ways to speed up your brain， EXCEPT_____A. doing a million new activitiesB. sleeping as much as possibleC. playing some intelligent gamesD. playing table tennis3. What can we learn from the text?A. Using right tools is important for brains’ work.B. Brain research deals with information from the InternetC. Dr. Merzenich is a scientist in computer，D. Many activities can keep our brains young.4. Which of the following agrees with the writer’s idea?A. The train methods work better for the old.B. People should train the brain to stop it from aging.C. The training of the brain should start at an early age.D. It is necessary to take part in as many activities as possible.5. Which one is TRUE according to the passage?A. If you are 71 years old， your brain is too old to train.B. You can eat the food to keep your brain young and plastic.C. Merzenich has developed a computer-based training method to train brains.D. You will feel younger when you train your brain.参考答案CBDBCPassage E中考选练）If you want to become a fluent(流利的)English speaker you should take some advice: There are four skills in learning English. They are reading， listening， speaking，and writing. The most important thing you must remember is that if you want to improve your speaking and writing skills you should first master the skills of reading and listening.Read as much as you can. But your reading must be active. It means that youmust think about the meaning of the sentence， the meanings of the unfamiliar words，etc. There is no need for you to pay much attention to grammars or try to understand all the unfamiliar words you come across， but the fact that you see them for the first time and recognize them whenever you see them， for example in other passages or books，is enough. It would be better to prepare yourself a notebook so you can write down the important words or sentences in it_As for listening， there are two choices: besides reading， you can listen every day for about 30 minutes. You can only pay attention to your reading and become skillful at your reading， then you can catch up on your listening. Since you have lots of inputs in your mind， you can easily guess what the speaker is going to say. This never means that you should not practice listening.For listening you can listen to cartoons or some movies that are specially made for children. Their languages are easy. Or if you are good at listening you can listen to VOA or BBC programs every day. Again the thing to remember is being active in listening and preferably taking some notes.If you follow these pieces of advice， your speaking and writing will improve automatically， and you can be sure that with a little effort they will become perfect.1. According to the author， which should you improve first among the four skills?A. Reading and writing.B. Reading and listening.C. Writing and speaking.D. Speaking and listening.2. The underlined phrase "come across" in Paragraph 2 can probably be replaced by "_______".A. meet byaccident B. discoverC. find on purposeD. look for3. The author seems to agree with the view that_______.A. everyone should listen to VOA or BBC programs every dayB. you needn't practice listening if you keep on reading every dayC. being good at reading is helpful in improving your listeningD. you should take notes of whatever you are hearing4. The passage is mainly about how to_______.A. choose suitable listening materialsB. deal with new words in readingC. read as many English books as possibleD. become fluent in speaking and writing English参考答案BACD。

Social media plays an important role in our lives. We check our socialmedia accounts(账户) such as emails and Facebook almost every day. Lately, people like posting pictures just for the purpose of getting others' attention through their “flowers”, no matter whether these pictures are good or not. Recently, I was very annoyed with these types of posts, so I decided to stop using social media for one week.After not using social media for a week, I can honestly say that everything has changed. Before last week, I used to check Facebook more than five times a day, as well as of my other social accounts, and I couldn't understand why I did that. Now I check Facebook much less.People are so obsess(迷恋的) with posting pictures that have no meaning to them just for the purpose of posting something online. Whenever I look at Instagram, all of the comments on pictures are the same. People depend on how many “likes” they get on what t hey post as an achievement. I just want to say, “None of it matters!” As I start to fully understand this now, I wonder why I have social media if all of this annoys me so much. But then I realize that I actually post meaningful things that my friends enjoy, and to me, that's more important than getting “likes” on a picture.Maybe as a society, we are using social media wrongly. I think we sometimes forget that social media helps us contact with people who are far away from us. I think it's a beautiful thing that I am able to go on Facebook and feel connected with people that I don't have the opportunity of seeing every single day anymore.（1）Why did the writer decide to stop using social media for one week?A. Because she had very few “flowers”.B. Because she had got tired of the posts on it.C. Because she didn't have any good pictures to post on.D. Because there was something wrong with her computer.（2）What do we know about the writer from Paragraph 2?A. She didn't know how to use Facebook.B. She didn't like posting things on Facebook.C. She used to check her social media accounts a lot.D. She has given up using social media forever.（3）According to the writer, people should use social media to ______.A. receive important commentsB. learn about other people's livesC. get “likes” from their “flowers”D. connect with faraway friends and family（4）What is the main idea of the passage?A. People should not use social media.B. Technology is changing our lives today.C. Comments on social media are interesting.D. Social media should be used for good purposes.【答案】（1）B（2）C（3）D（4）D【解析】【分析】本文讲述了作者厌烦社交网络从而一周不用社交网络，并有了一些感想。

佛山市中考英语试卷英语任务型阅读理解题分类汇编(含答案)一、英语任务型阅读1．根据短文内容，回答下列问题。

Every year, during Chongyang Festival, citizens of China show their respect to the elders in their families and communities. It's a special tradition which is rooted in the deep value that Chinese culture places on honouring their elders.Sadly, many of our aging population are seniors without sons, daughters or grandchildren to visit. While they may have great friends, they no doubt miss the tender and loving relationships unique to families. To fill this void(空虚),many volunteers turned up at nursing homes around the country in order to spend time with the residents(居民). In some cases, they performed humble(谦逊的) gestures(表示) of kindness, such as combing their hair or washing their feet.While the kind acts were appreciated, one embarrassing story out of Anhui Province raised a valuable question. Reportedly, one old gentleman had his feet washed seven times during the day by different volunteers. Is this genuinely(真诚地) caring for the elderly? Many of the residents at the nursing home said that those gestures do not make them feel cared for at all. Their family members or community volunteers may drop by for a few hours of token(象征性) time, but soon they disappear back into their busy lives.There is nothing we can give that is more valuable or appreciated than our time. While you may feel like there is barely enough time to care for your many responsibilities, might it be possible to spare just a moment as you walk home from school to sit with a senior who lives in your community? Just five minutes is not going to prevent you from getting your homework done, but it may totally change a day of loneliness into a day of joy for one old man or woman. Do you live far from your grandparents? Why not pick up the phone and let them know you're thinking of them? Or maybe you could remind them of the "good old days" and mail them a short letter. Imagine their surprise and joy!We live in a complicated(复杂的) and busy world, but kindness and caring is still a very simple thing.（1）How many times did one old gentleman have his feet washed during the day? (不超过2个词)（2）Which gesture can make the elders feel cared for? (不超过8个词)（3）What may the family members of the residents at the nursing home do?

The driver of the other car, the guy who almost caused a big accident, turned his head and started yelling at us. I couldn't believe it! But my taxi driver just smiled at the guy. So I asked, “Why did you just do that?

Don't take it personally. Just smile, wish them well, and move on. Don't take their rubbish and spread it to other people at work, at home or on the streets.Successful people never let rubbish trucks change their moods.

佛山市中考英语英语阅读理解训练经典题目(含答案)一、英语阅读理解专项练习试卷1．阅读理解Old age may not sound exciting. But recent findings offer good news for older people and for people worried about getting older. Researchers found that people become happier and experience less worry after they reach the age of 50.In fact, they say by the age of 85, people are happier with their life than they were when they were 18 years old.The findings came from a survey of more than 340, 000 adults in the United States. The Gallup Organization questioned them by telephone. At that time, the people were between the ages of 18 and 85.The researchers asked questions about emotions, like happiness, sadness and worry. They also asked about mental（气质） or emotional stress.Arthur Stone in the Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Science at Stony Brook University in New York led the study. His team found that levels of stress were highest among adults between the ages of 24 and 25.The findings showed that stress levels dropped sharply after people reached their fifties.The study also showed that men and women have similar feeling patterns as they grow older. However, women at all ages reported more sadness, stress and worry than men.Researchers say they do not know why happiness increases as people get older. One theory is that, as people grow older, they grow more thankful for what they have and have better control of their feelings. So they spend less time thinking about bad experiences.Professor Stone says the emotional patterns could be connected with changes in how people see the world, or maybe even changes in brain chemistry.The researchers also considered possible influences like having young children, being unemployed（被解雇） or being single. But they found that influences like these did not affect （影响） the levels of happiness.（1）Who would probably show the greatest interest in the passage?A. Those who are worried about getting old.B. Those who are single and unemployed.C. Those who feel unhappy all the time.D. Those who suffer from mental stress.（2）When may people have the highest level of stress?A. At the age of 20.B. At the age of 25.C. At the age of 35.D. At the age of 40.（3）According to Arthur Stone's idea, old people may .A. control their behaviors betterB. know how to spend money wiselyC. dream about good things every dayD. have a positive attitude towards their life（4）What would be the best title for this passage?A. The Younger, the HappierB. The Young Are Happier than the OldC. Getting Older Means Getting HappierD.

Dear Alan,Guess what? I have a chance to choose my new place to live! I'm excited and a little nervous. Could you please give me some help?I'm not sure whether I should live in a house or in an apartment. On one hand, a house will be too big for just one person, so maybe I should rent an apartment. On the other hand, if I rent a house, I could find someone else to share with me. The only problem is that a house full of people might be too noisy for me. I prefer to have my own space. The city has some nice apartments, but they are also too expensive. However, if I could find a two-bedroom apartment and get a roommate, that would make it more affordable. I just need to search for a roommate who is neat and quiet. You know I can't live with someone who is loud and messy. I don't have a car, so I also need to think carefully about the location. I probably need to look for somewhere near a bus stop or an underground station. That way I will have more time to study and spend less time travelling.I'm looking forward to your reply.Love,Victor （1）Why does Victor feel excited? (不超过7个词)（2）What kind of person does Victor want to share the house with?

佛山市中考英语试卷英语阅读理解题分类汇编(含答案)一、英语阅读理解专项练习试卷1．阅读理解As a child, I was really afraid of the dark and of getting lost. These fears were very real and caused me some uncomfortable moments.Maybe it was the strange way things looked and sounded in my own room at night that scared me so much. There was never complete darkness, but always a street light or car lights, which made clothes on the back of a chair take on the shape of a wild animal. Out of the corner of my eye, I saw the curtains（窗帘） seem to move when there was no wind. A very low sound in the dark would seem a hundred times louder than in the day. My imagination（想象） would run wild, and my heart would beat fast. I would lie very still so that the "enemy（敌人）" would not discover me.Another of my childhood fears was that I would get lost, especially on the way home from school. Every morning I got on the school bus right near my home. That was no problem. After school, though, when all the buses were lined up along the street, I was afraid that I would get on the wrong one and be taken to some other strange places. On school or family trips to a park or a museum, I wouldn't let the leaders out of my sight.Perhaps one of the worst fears of all I had as a child was that of not being liked or accepted by others. Being popular was so important to me then, and the fear of not being liked was a serious one.One of the processes（过程） of growing up is being able to realize and overcome our fears. Understanding the things that scared us as children helps us achieve greater success later in life.（1）The author had kind(s) of fears when he was a child.A. oneB. twoC. threeD. none（2） would scare the author at night.A. Street lights and car lightsB. Wild animals and enemiesC. Moving curtains and windD.
