A tired, overworked brain is just as useless as a lazy, empty one!So, what should you do ?Arrange a time each day for study and a time for relaxation .You may have less time to relax than usual, but you still need to let your brain rest for a few moments. Get plenty of sleep .If you are tired, information will not stick in our memory. Finally eat healthy foods that fuel your body and mind.It does no good to think too much about your exams. Some students may think that the rest of their life depends on them .That’s not true. Instead, just view the exams as another difficulty you will overcome.

Always climb with a partner. As you climb, your partner pulls you climbing rope through something called a belay device(绳索控制器). The belay catches you if you slip.

They are not as polite, hard-working or clever as my generation. I will give you two examples.Last Friday, I got on the underground at 9.15 a.m. It was very busy so there were no free seats. There were some teenagers sitting on the seats nearest me. I don’t know why they were not at school. They were talking loudly and laughing. It was difficult to read my newspaper with all the noise. A heavily pregnant(怀孕的)woman and her daughter got on at the next stop, with lots of shopping bags. I expected the teenagers to let them sit down. They saw the woman but did nothing.I had to ask them to give her a seat. They reluctantly(勉强地)did so but gave me a rude look. I gotoff at the next stop and was glad that the teenagers didn’t follow me.Last Saturday, I had dinner with my friend’s family. I was looking forward to meeting his children, who I hadn’t seen for ten years. During dinner, we started talking about world po litics. Itsoon became clear that they didn’t know much. They couldn’t tell me the name of the King ofSpain or the President of Italy. All they knew about was the internet and which singers were themost beautiful. In my day, students knew the kings, queens and presidents of every country in Europe.I worry about the future of Germany. How could these young people become responsible workers and parents? They sit around Mcdonald’s after school instead of going to the library like Idid at their age. Maybe they have too much money.

Answer the questions (根据短文内容回答下列问题)：(12分)Green is an important color in nature. It is the color of grass and the leaves on trees.

The answer will most p 86 be the TV! Y oung people would certainly choose the TV, but you will be surprised to find out that the older o 87 will at least hesitate about choosing it. Why is this?

2012年上海中考英语一模试题汇编之阅读理解【静安区】When we are talking about afternoon tea, what would you think of? A cup of tea, a piece of cake and a good mood, what a good enjoyment! But do you know how comes the afternoon tea?We should thank for a lady, who had created the custom of afternoon tea in 1840. She was Anna. At that time, people of upper class usually had supper at around 8 o’clock in the evening. But Anna began to feel hungry at round 4 in the afternoon. This had left her a good long time of 4 hours. Therefore, she told the servant to bring a tray of bread, butter and cakes to her room during the afternoon. It became a habit of hers. Soon, she invited her friends to join her.After Anna started enjoying the afternoon tea, women of the rich did the same in their homes and it later became a fashionable social event, giving a chance for people to meet new friends and get news or new stories.The traditional afternoon tea usually contains a teapot of tea, several teacups and cakes. English tea is mainly India, which was originally transported by the East India Company.Today, afternoon tea has been simplified(精简的) because of the change of lifestyle. People use tea bags instead of tea leaves. Cakes are no longer as various as those long time ago. They usually are some pieces of biscuits or cakes.But if you want to experience a real English afternoon tea, I would advise you to go to Devonshire, where produces good cream and famous cream tea.74.

Some misleading messages may even cause danger to kids, they said.Mr. Shen, a professor at the China Education Association, suggests parents not worry too much as long as kids are not crazy about micro blogging. Maybe it can become a window for parents to understand their children."If parents can read their children's micro blogs, they'll know their thoughts, thus leading to better communication and solutions to problems," he said.

I got out of the car, went through a gate and walked along a path. In the east, the sky was becoming light, but beside the path, it was still very dark.

Her husband, who was a musician, had died, and left her very poor indeed.The businessman saw that the widow and her daughter, who was with her, were in great distress. He looked with pity into their pale faces, and was sure that their sad story was true.'How much do you want, my good woman?' said the businessman.'Five dollars will save us,' said the poor widow, with some hesitation, after she thought for a few seconds.The businessman sat down at his desk, took a piece of paper, wrote a few lines on it, and gave it to the widow with the words, 'Take it to the bank you see on the other side of the street.'The widow thanked the man, and then quickly walked to the bank with her daughter, without stopping to read the note. The banker at once counted out fifty dollars instead of five, and passed them to the widow.She was amazed when she saw so much money. 'Sir, there is a mistake here,' she said. 'You have given me fifty dollars, and I asked for only five.'The banker looked at the note once more, and said, 'The check calls for fifty dollars.'The banker then asked her to wait a few minutes, while he went to see the businessman who gave her the note.'Yes,' said the businessman, when he had heard the banker's story, 'I did make a mistake.

Oh, you’ve got the flu! Late autumn and early winter is flu season. The flu is annoying. It takes weeks to get over. It prevents us from concentrating (集中注意) in class and having fun on the playground. So can we do anything to prevent it?Can exercise help our body fight off a cold or flu? This is a good question, but not easy to answer. There isn’t any research addressing this question. There was one small study among college students. But it did not show any difference in the body’s response (反应) to flu vaccine (流感疫苗) between students who exercised and those who did not. Exercise at the start of a cold or flu is unlikely to change the course of the illness.On the other hand, a person who exercises often will be in better physical condition. They will be more energetic. They may sleep more soundly and therefore be better rested, and may feel happier and less stressed by a cold or flu. So regular exercise is likely to help a person fight off colds and the flu.Because the flu and colds are caused by viruses, frequent hand-washing, keeping your hands away from your face, and avoiding contact with infected (被感染的) people will all help to prevent infection. Smoking makes a person more easily infected by viruses, so avoiding smoke is another way to be protected.74. _______________is flu season.A) Early spring and late autumn B) Late autumn and early winterC) Early autumn and late winter D) Late winter and early spring75. If you have got the flu, you won’t _______________ .A) have a sore throat B) have a running noseC) have a dizzy head D) have fun on the playground76.

He was suddenly only the size of a mouse!―Oh, no!‖ Santi shouted. He had to find his parents quickly. Carefully, he climbed down the side of the huge sofa and hurried across the floor. In the kitchen, Santi could see that the sliding door had been left open. ―If the door is open, then the cat might be in here,‖ tiny Santi said.Just then, Santi and the cat saw each other.

A salary of $ 400,000, along with otherb enefits, is paid to the President annually. But President Obama’s income for 2008 was far more than that, according to the White House.The White House recently published the tax returns (纳税申报单)of Obama and Vice –president Joe Biden. Tax returns are reports of tax that a person has to pay. They often include income information used to calculate the tax. In the US, people whose incomes are over a certain amount have to file tax returns(纳税申报)every year. The tax returns of government officials are open to the public. This transparency helps to prevent corruption(腐败)。

The answer will most p 86 be the TV! Young people would certainly choose the TV, but you will be surprised to find out that the older o 87 will at least hesitate about choosing it. Why is this?

完形填空宝山区初三英语第一学期期末质量抽查试卷For many years the United States and the other countries used gold and silver as money.Paper money was used to stand for the holdings(储备)of both gold and silver. The value ofsilver was limited to that of gold. Fifteen ounces(盎司)of silver had the same value of oneounce of gold.These values did not change until after 1860 when mines(银矿)in the west of the United Statesbegan to 80 large amounts of silver. This extra amount of silver caused the price of silver to 81 . Then fifteen ounces of silver would no longer buy one ounce of gold. In 1871 Germany declared(宣布)that it would not support its paper money with silver any more. Instead, it would use only gold. Other countries of Europe quickly 82 the same. The United States passed a law in 1973 that prevented the government from using silver as money. Western silver producers protested(抗议)loudly and put much pressure on the 83 makers. Five years later a new law was 84 . It said that the government must buy four and half million ounces ofsilver each month. The new law increased the amount of silver money. The country had twokinds of quite different views on the issue(发行)silver money. Businessmen, bankers and otherrich men wanted to 85 the use of silver money because it made the dollar less valuable.

It was really my wife's idea."I know that you love her," she said one day. "But I love you," I said. "I know, but you also love her."The 80 woman that my wife wanted me to visit was my mother. She has been a widow(寡妇) for 19 years. That night I called to invite her to go out for dinner and a movie."What's wrong, are you well?" she asked. My mother thought that a late night call, or a surprise 81 is a sign of bad news. "I thought that it would be pleasant to pass some time with you," I answered. She thought about it for a moment and said, "I would like that very much."That Friday after work, I drove over to 82 her up. When I arrived at her house, I found herwaiting in the door with her coat on. She looked very old and thin. "I told my friends that I wasgoing to go out with 83 son, and they were impressed," she said, as she got into the car.We went to a restaurant that was very nice and comfortable. My mother took my arm as if she were the First Lady. After we sat down, I began to read the menu. Then I lifted my eyes and saw Mom sitting there smiling at me.

Napkin （餐巾）etiquette has developed over time.According to proper etiquette today, one should put one’s napkin on one’s lap （膝盖）as soon as everyone is seated at the table. When one excuse oneself and leaves the table for a few minutes, one should leave one’s napkin on one’s chair. When one is finished with one’s meal and is leaving the table, one should 81 one’s napkin to the right of one’s plate.What was napkin etiquette like before it developed into what it is today? In ancient Egyptian, Greek and Roman times, the etiquette was quite different. Napkins were much 82 . Often, they were as large as bath towels. Banquets （宴会）usually lasted for hours, and people ate with their hands. Although finger bowls filled with83 would sometimes be available, the large napkins were necessary if one wanted to stay reasonably clean.A second use for the napkin developed in the sixth century B.C. Roman society. At thattime, 84 were expected to take food home. The uneaten food was wrapped up and carriedin one’s napkin. It was considered not polite to leave empty-handed.Napkin size changed 85 with an invention. The invention that caused this size change was the fork. Since people began to use forks, their hands no longer get as dirty as before. Although napkins became smaller in size, many Europeans did not use them. The custom was to wipe one’s hands on the tablecloth. At that time, tablecloths were so large that one could use a part of it to cover one’s lap. Covering one’s lap with the tablecloth served two purposes （目的）. One could wipe one’s hands on it, and one could protect his lap from getting dirty.80.

He did not know that was coming for every big dog in California. Men had found gold in the Yukon, and these men wanted big, strong dogs to work in the cold and snow of the north.Buck lived in Mr. Miller's big house on the sunny farm. There were large gardens and fields of fruit trees around the house, and a river nearby. In a big place like this, , there were many dogs. There were house dogs and farm dogs, but they were not important. Buck was chief dog and this was place. He was four years old and weighed sixty kilos. He went swimming with Mr. Miller's sons, and walking with his daughters. He carried the grandchildren on his back, and he sat at Mr. Miller's feet in front of the fire in winter.But this was 1897, and Buck did not know that men and dogs were hurrying to north-west Canada to look for gold. And he did not know that Manuel, one of Mr. Miller's gardens, needed money for his large family. One day, when Mr. Miller was out, Manuel and Buck left the garden together. It was just an evening walk, Buck . No one saw them go, and only one man saw them arrive at the railway station. This man talked to Manuel, and gave him some money. Then he tied a piece of rope around Buck's neck.Buck , and was surprised when the rope was pulled hard around his neck. He jumped at the man.

C嘉定区初三英语第一学期期末质量抽查试卷Tim Becker and his neighbors are doing something to make their neighborhood a trouble-free area.When Tim Becker gets in his car to go shopping, he doesn't just drive to a store and back home. He always looks 80 up and down the streets of his neighborhood. He looks for anything unusual such as strange cars, loud noises, 81 windows, or people gathering on street comers.Tim belonged to a neighborhood watch group in Stoneville, Indiana, USA. The neighborhood watch group meet on the third Wednesday of every month. That's 82 Tim gets together with about ten of his neighbors to discuss community safety. Members of the neighborhood watch group want to help the police 83 their homes, streets, and families safe.Tina Stedman, president of their neighborhood watch group, agrees with Tim. "People seem to think that crime happens to other people but not to them. Well, it's 84 happened to me," she said, "but I don't think anyone has the right to steal from other people or to make them feel unsafe sitting in their own homes."Alex, a member of the group, said that all the neighbors look out for one another, "We watch each other's homes. We keep watch out the neighborhood at night and on weekends. Usually a group of four or five of us goes out together. If something doesn't look right, then we call the police. For example, if we notice a group of teenagers who seem to be looking someone destroying property, we report to the police."Alex feels the neighborhood watch groups help a lot in keeping crime down. Her husband Jim agrees, "Police are good people, but they can't do everything."80. A) carefully B) clearly C) happily D) widely81. A) dirty B) nice C) old D) broken82.

D金山区初三英语第一学期期末质量抽查试卷You're standing with your classmates. Everyone is talking except you. Perhaps you're afraid they will laugh at you when you say. Maybe you just aren't 80 enough to speak.Shyness is like a snake that crawls(爬进) into our mouth and stops us 81 . But we shouldn't let it stay there.I am 29 years old. Even today, that snake still sometimes visits me. When I was in high school, I was so shy that I wouldn't talk to anyone except my parents and best friends. If a 82 asked me the way to a local shop, it was as if I'd forgotten how to talk. One summer, I got a job in a 83 and that helped a lot. It meant I had to talk to customers(顾客). I had to tell them how much their meal cost. I had to ask them 84 they want to drink Coke or Sprite. This job taught me how to speak with people.You may be too young to find a part-time job. But you can look for other chances to speak with people. You can offer to help an old woman carry her heavy bag. Or you can go to get a newspaper for your family.If you do these things 85 , the 'shyness' snake will soon begin to leave you alone. It'll look for another mouth to crawl into.80.

A PhD student with not a lot of money, I had hurried into the store to pick up someflowers.I found myself at a checkout counter(柜台) 80 an elderly woman who was going to payfor her groceries（食品杂货）.The woman stopped emptying her basket and looked up at me. She smiled. It was a nice smile–warm and reassuring –and I smiled back.“It must be a special lady to get those beautiful flowers,” she said.“Yes, she’s special,” I said, and then to my surprise, the words kept 81 .“It’s only our second date to meet, but somehow I am just having the feeling she’s ‘the one’. Jokingly, I added, “The only problem is that I can’t figure out 82 she’d want to date a guy like me.”“Well, I think she’s very lucky to have a boyfriend who brings her such lovely flowers and who is clearly in love with her,” the woman said.” “My husband used to bring me flowers every week –even when times were 83 and we didn’t have much money. Those were unforgettable days; he was very romantic and – of course – I miss him since he’s passed away.”I paid for my flowers as she was 84 her groceries. Almost immediately，I walked up to her and said, “You were right, you know. These flowers are indeed for a very special lady.” I handed her the flowers and thanked her for such a nice talk.It took her a moment to realize that I was giving her the flowers I had just bought. “You have a wonderful evening,” I said.

But I’ve discovereda way to experience the thrill(兴奋，紧张) of climbing rock. Indoor climbing is an easy and excitingway to get a taste of rock climbing. And it is also much cheaper and safer! Indoor climbers don’tclimb on real rock, but on a plastic wall. You can probably find a climbing wall near you. Many gyms,schools and camps have one.You can climb in doors at any time of the year, no matter how the whether is. It is usually notexpensive. Most gyms provide the equipment you need. The convenience of indoor climbing isone reason why it has become so popular. But the main reason people climb is for rush(刺激感) they get. When I stand at the roof of the wall and look up, I’m always scared, but once I start climbing, fear changes to determination. With my heart pounding(心剧烈跳动), I reach the top and look down. I can’t stop grinning. I did it!Indoor climbing is a great workout(锻炼). Climbing uses muscles(肌肉)that are hard to exercise, especially those in the shoulders, arms, chest and back. Many people say climbing makes exercise fun. Most gyms have several climbing walls with various degrees of difficulty. The easier ones are like climbing a ladder. The difficult ones bulge out(凸出)in places so that climbers must sometimes climb parallel(平行的)with the floor.Although gym climbing is easier and safer than real rock climbing, you should still be careful. Always climb with a partner. As you climb, your partner pulls you climbing rope through something called a belay device(绳索控制器). The belay catches you if you slip. But make sure your partner knows how to use this equipment. And if you are a first-timeclimber, get some instruction before you begin.93.

A heavily pregnant(怀孕的)woman and her daughter got on at the next stop, with lots of shopping bags. I expected the teenagers to let them sit down. They saw the woman but did nothing. I had to ask them to give her a seat. They reluctantly(勉强地)did so but gave me a rude look. I got off at the next stop and was glad that the teenagers didn’t follow me.Last Saturday, I had dinner with my friend’s family. I was looking forward to meeting his children, who I hadn’t seen for ten years. During dinner, we started talking about world po litics. It soon became clear that they didn’t know much. They couldn’t tell me the name of the King of Spain or the President of Italy. All they knew about was the internet and which singers were the most beautiful. In my day, students knew the kings, queens and presidents of every country in Europe.I worry about the future of Germany. How could these young people become responsible workers and parents? They sit around Mcdonald’s after school instead of going to the library like I did at their age. Maybe t hey have too much money. Perhaps another reader can give us an idea about what to do with this ‘lost generation’.Franz V ogtsHamburg93. Who was the letter sent to?It was sent to ____________ of a newspaper in Germany.94.

Answer the questions (根据短文内容回答下列问题)：(12分)On December 23, 2008, Niu Niu held a piano recital(独奏会) at the national Grand Theater. As an eleven-year-old boy, he became the youngest pianist ever to perform a concertat the theater.Never too young to learnNiu Niu was born into a musical family in Xiamen. His father Zhang was a piano teacher. Niu Niu grew up listening to his father's student playing the piano. At just threeyears old, Niu Niu asked his father to teach him to play, too."I gave Niu Niu some sheet music(活动乐谱)and helped him find the eight notes(琴键)when he first played the piano. To my surprise, he played nearly 80 percent correct," said the father. He used to think that 3 years old is too young an age to learn piano, but Niu Niu changed his mind. He continued to allow Niu Niu to watch his teaching of other students and gave him more sheet music to play.Playing for funZhang started teaching Niu Niu standard piano lessons when he was four. Unlike many other piano teachers, Zhang didn’t insist that Niu Niu play strictly with the correct finger positioning(指法). He said that the strict finger positioning would rob some kids of fun of playing. So Niu Niu could play in his own way. He could play the tone successfully. But Niu Niu was required to play the music without looking at the sheet music. Now he can memorize about 80 pages. Rising to fameIn 2003, at the age of 6, Niu Niu successfully held a sole concert(独唱音乐会) in his hometown Xiamen. At the age of 8, he gave a performance at the International Piano Festival in France.
