一、阅读理解1. Storytelling has caught the human imagination for thousands of years. People everywhere have told stories to amuse(消遣), to teach, toremember, and just to pass the time. People started telling stories long before writing was invented. 1 But people all over the world still tell one another stories out loud. A person who can tell a good story nearly always finds listeners.Before people developed writing, storytelling was the most important way to pass along information. Anything a culture wanted to protect—its beliefs, its history, and its traditions—had to be told out loud. Each generation would tell the culture’s stories to the next. 2 Knowledge passed on in this method is called the spoken tradition. Even cultures that know how to write still pass along some information in this way.3 In other cultures only special storytellers were trusted to do this important job. A culture’s best storytellers had good memories. Theycould also make the stories very interesting, so people would listen and remember them. Sometimes people would sing the stories or tell them in the form of poems. 4However, stories told aloud change over time as different people tell them. A storyteller might change a story in order to make it better. Or a teller may simply not remember all the details of a story. Unlike written stories, the spoken tradition is not created by any one person. 5 Sometimes the stories are collected and written down long after they have been created.A．In this way the stories were passed along.B．In some cultures everyone would pass along the stories.C．Soon storytelling became very popular all over the world.D．Songs and poems can both make stories easier to remember.E．Instead, a whole culture helps shape the changing stories in history.F．The spoken tradition is created by good storytellers rather than listeners.G．Today stories are also written down in books and acted out in movies, TV shows, and plays.2. One day, while my friend and I were traveling through Germany, we were very hungry but we didn’t have a lot of money. 1 I chosesome cookies and went to the front counter to pay. Near the counter I saw some packaged (包装好的) cookies in a large box. 2 I decided to take them instead so that we could save money.3 We found a quiet place under a tree and we ate our sandwiches first, and then the cookies. We thought they were great.“Let’s get these again,” I said. “ 4 ”My friend can read some German, but I can’t, so I gave her the package in order that she could look for the brand (品牌) name. 5“Why are you laughing?” I asked.“Because they’re dog biscuits!” she said.A．We left the store and looked for a place where we could eat.B．She looked at it and then started to laugh.C．We decided to stop at a small store to get some food.D．They’re cheap and they really taste good.E．More and more people will go there.F．She liked Germany very much.G．They looked good and were a lot cheaper than the ones I had in my hand.文章大意：本文主要介绍了一位中学生发明的环保垃圾袋，介绍了发明它的起因，它的用处等。

中考英语阅读理解题1Another ReasonIt was a quiet village in which there was a military camp. It was far from the towns and cities and there were some high mountains around. Of course it was a good place for training the new soldiers. But it was difficult for the young men to go outside. Mr. White, an officer of forty, was strict with them and he hardly let them leave the camp.Once Mr. White was ill in bed. He couldn’t work and a young officer, Mr. Hunt, began to train the new soldiers instead of him. He knew the young men well and let nine soldiers go to the nearest town to have a holiday. But night fell and none came back to the camp. He was worried about it and stood at the gate. It was five to twelve when Mr. Hunt decided to go to the town and see what was happening with the young men. He started the car quickly and set off. At that moment the nine soldiers came back.

2010年海陵区初三英语总复习阅读理解（共20篇）（来自朱庄初中）（1）Last week, 169 Junior 1 students at No. 35 Middle School of Shenyang took their first no-teacher exam. After the teacher handed out the exam paper, he left the room and never came back. A student collected the papers when the exam ended.‘That test was not only a test of knowledge, but also a test of moral . We wanted to show students how important honesty is,’ said Cai Wenguo, the school's headmaster. The school says no cheating happened in the test. Next year, it wants 80％of its exams to be without teachers. But students have different ideas.‘I was happy and excited during the exam because my teachers trusted me,’ said Lang Yu Dan, a 13-year-old girl in Class 11. ‘Schools must trust students a lot not to use invigilators. But I think it is too early. Some students will cheat if there are no invigilators. And the students will not be able to ask for help when needed.’ said Hua Sha.‘I don't like having invigilators in exams. When they walk around the classroom, they make me nervous. I would get higher marks without them in the room because I would feel more relaxed,’ Liu Qing Xi said.‘I think it's very important to have invigilators in exams. Many students want to check their answers with each other after they have finished papers. And they can also keep the classroom in order when something unusual happens. They may make me nervous, but I still think we need them,’ Shang Guanyuan said.Not using invigilators may be a good idea. But before using it, schools must tell students the importance of honesty and try to find ways to solve something unusual in exams.( ) 1. The passage mainly talks about ____________.A. how to pass an examB. how to make students honestC. whether invigilators are needed in examsD. how to get higher marks ( )2. No. 35 Middle School of Shenyang held a no-teacher exam to __________.A. let the students have a good restB. teach the students in a better wayC. help all the students pass the examD. find whether the students were honest( )3. From what the students have said, we know ______________________A. invigilators really help them a lotB. not all of them agree with the headmasterC. something unusual never happens in examsD. no cheating will happen if teachers trust students( ) 4. The underlined word ‘invigilators’ in Paragraph 4 mean _______ in Chinese.A.监考人B. 监视器C. 阅卷人D. 调查者( ) 5. In the sentence ‘And they can also keep the classroom in order when something unusual happens ’ ‘they’ refers to __________.A. studentsB. headmastersC. invigilatorsD. monitors（2）It is important to learn how we can protect the environment. Here are 5R rules for us.Reduce If you want to reduce waste, you should use things more cleverly. A large number of trees are being cut down to make paper. If everyone uses paper carelessly, soon we would not have any trees left. Other things are also being wasted, and people don’t know what to do with the waste in big cities. So it is necessary to reduce the amount of waste we produce.Reuse You should always think of reusing things before throwing them out. For example, give the clothes you do not use or the ones are too small to the poor. In a family, you may pass on such clothes to young brothers or sisters.Recycle Bottles, cans and paper can easily be recycled. By recycling we can save lots of time and money. For example, coke cans are sent to a factory, where they are smashed flat and melted. The metal can be used to make new coke cans.Recover When you buy a box of apples, then there will be a few rotten () ones. You have two choices: one is to throw all the apples away; the other is to throw the rotten ones and keep the good ones. In this way, you are recovering the eatable parts of food.Repair If one of the legs of your table is broken, you should repair it. If you want to buy something newer and better, it is better for you to sell the old things, or give it to people who can use it after repair it.Learn the rules to protect our environment. Let’s try our best to make the earth cleaner and more beautiful.( ) 6.

The manager was very polite, but he explained that someone with exactly the same name had given them a worthless cheque not long ago. My friend got very angry when he heard this and said that he would buy a necklace somewhere else. When he got up to go, the manager told him that the police would arrive at any moment and he had better stay unless he wanted to get into serious trouble. Sure enough, the police arrived soon afterwards. They were polite, too. but explained that a person who had used the same name as his was guilty of a number of recent robberies. Then the police asked my friend to copy out a note which had been used by the thief in a number of stores. The note read, "I have a gun in my pocket. Ask no question and give me all the money in the drawer."Fortunately, my friend's handwriting was quite unlike the thief’s.

Today, the area has only two small lakes and two salt deserts.The larger of the two deserts, the Uyuni salt desert, is 12,000 square kilometres. During the day, the desert is bright white because of the salt. There are no roads across the Uyuni desert, so local people must show guests the way to the hotel.In the early 1990s, a man named Juan Quesada built the hotel. He cut big blocks of salt from the desert and used the blocks to build it. Everything in the hotel is made out of salt: the walls, the dome roof, the tables, the chairs, the beds, and the bar.The sun heats（使变热）the walls and roof during the day. At night the desert is very cold, but the rooms stay warm. The hotel has twelve rooms.

He could hear them. They were making a terrible noise. He stood outside the classroom for a few minutes and looked inside through the window. He became angry at what he saw. Some boys were fighting. Others were throwing things at one another. No one was doing any work.The headmaster knew what to do. He would go into the classroom, catch the biggest boy in the class and punish him. This would be an example to the others. He took a deep breath and opened the classroom door. "Silence ! "he shouted at the top of his voice.This time the students stopped what they were doing and looked at him. Quickly he walked up to the oldest-looking boy in the room, who was also the noisiest and had been shouting at others at the top of his voice.

She bas just become motherless.A few minutes ago, a big bombing(轰炸) happened near her home in the south of Iraq(伊拉克).Every day we see pictures like this on our televisions. We see young Iraqi children asking for food and water from American and British soldiers as they move through towns and dries towards the capital, Baghdad. We see these children following grown-ups, carrying bags of things almost the same size as their small bodies as they quickly left their homes in Baghdad.All this shows that some of the young lives have been turned upside down bythe war.And they show the terrible price being paid by Iraqi children.In southern parts of the country, like the second largest city, Basra, the UN is working to repair the damage(损失) caused by the war. "We are working to provide clean water and get the electrical power to work again," said Geoffrey Keele, a UN spokesman.But little else can be done, in Baghdad, parents give their children sleeping pills to try.and let them escape the sound of bombing.

Five hopeful cities are waiting to find out where the 2012 Olympics will be held.Hosting is no easy work but it's a good chance for a country to attract tourists and make friends with people from all over the world.Two years ago, cities which were interested in hosting the Games enrolled(登记) their names. Later they handed in their reports to the International Olympic Committee(IOC,国际奥林匹克委员会). Nine cities hoped that they would have the honour. On May 18,2004, after the careful checking of each report, the IOC chose five cities: Paris, London, Moscow, Madrid(马德里) and New York City to be the possible cities to hold the 2012 Olympic Games.Since February, the IOC has visited these five cities, Moscow being the last; to hear each city's report as to how they will host the Games.Want to know the result?

Colors in them seem to be used mainly to protect themselves.Some birds like eating locusts (蝗虫), but birds cannot easily catch them. Why? It is because locusts change their colors together with the change of the colors of crops(庄稼). When crops are green, locusts look green. But as the harvest time comes, locusts change to the same brown color as crops have. Some other pests with different colors from plants are easily found and eaten by others. So they have to hide themselves for lives and appear only at night.If you study the animal life, you’ll find the main useof coloring is to protect themselves. Bears, lions and other animals move quietly through forests. They cannot be easily seen by hunters (猎人). This is because they have the colors much like the trees.Have you ever noticed an even stranger act? A kind of fish in the sea can sendout a kind of very black liquid (液体)when it faces danger. While the liquid spreads over (散开), its enemies (敌人)cannot find it. And it immediately swims away.

He had a n unusual voice and he wanted to work in Disney’s cartoon(动画片) film for children. When Walt Disney heard Nash’s voice, he said”Stop! That’s our duck!”The duck was the now-famous Donald Duck, who first appeared in 1934 in the firm The Wise Little Hen. Donald lived in an old houseboat(水上住家) and wore his sailor jacket and hat. Later that year he became a star after an eight – minute Mickey Mouse film. The cinema audience liked him because he was lazy and greedy(贪婪的), and because he lost his temper (发脾气) very quickly. And they loved his voice when he became angry with Mickey’s eight nephews(侄子). Soon Donald was more popular than Mickey Mouse himself, probably because he wasn’t a goody-goody like Mickey. In the 1930S, ‘ 40s and ‘ 50s Donald and his friends Micke y, Goofy and Pluto made hundreds of Disney cartoons. He also made educational films about the place of the USA in the world, and safety in the home. Then in 1966 Donald Duck and his voice disappeared – there were no more new cartoons.Clarence Nash died in February, 1985.

The first great invention was one that is still very important today- the wheel. This made it easier to carry heavy things and to travel long distances.For hundreds of years after that there were few inventions that had as much effect as the wheel. Then in the early 1800s the world started to change. There was little unknown land left in the world. People didn’t have to explore(探测) much any more. They began to work instead to make life better.In the second half of the 19th century many great inventions were made. Among them were the camera, the light and the radio. These all became a big part of our life today.The first part of the 20th century saw more great inventions. The helicopter in 1909. Movies with sound in 1926. The computer in 1928. And jet planes in 1930. This was also a time when a new material was first made. Nylon came in 1935. It changed the kind of clothes people wear.By this time most people had a very good life, Man has a desire to explore again, The world was known to man but the stars were not. Man began looking for ways to go into space. Russia made the first step. Then the United States took a step. Since then other countries, including China and Japan , have made their steps into space.In 1969 man took his biggest step from the earth. Americans first walked on the moon. This is certainly just a beginning thought. New inventions will some day allow us to do things we have never yet dreamed of.( ) 16.

初中英语2023年中考专题训练阅读理解-记叙文篇(一)Located in Pennsylvania, US, Here With Us Farm is trying to help animals. Every morning, Amanda Clark checks on the cows, pigs and dogs. These animals were once mistreated (虐待).Because of the pandemic, the farm has been lonely for a long time. Many leisure activities (休闲活动) have been canceled. The animals have been missing visitors. A friend of Clark’s came up with a good idea to connect these animals with people. In March, 2020, the farm began to post the animals’ basic information online. People could visit the farm’s website and choose an animal to write to.“We wanted to give kids and our animals some joy,” Clark said. “Many kids have written to our animals. The most popular animals are Ronnie the cow, Chester the cow and Rosie the chick.”About 265 kilometers away, the Indraloka Animal Farm is also using pens and paper to connect people with its animals. Indra Lahiri, the owner, began rescuing animals in the late 1990s. She now keeps more than 300 animals.The farm’s pen pal program was started a few years ago. It used to be only for the children who had volunteered on the farm. After the pandemic broke out, the program began to be open to all children.In return for their letters, kids can receive photos and sometimes even works of art created by animals. “I believe the animals enjoy seeing the letters,” Lahiri said. “We read all the letters to them. Kids need animals, and animals also need kids.”1. Why did Here With Us Farm start to post the animals’ basic in formation online?A. Because it wanted to save the animals.B.

1. 七选五根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入1~5小题横线上的最佳选项。

Be careful when throwing away wet waste. 1Shi Y uan, 14, from Shanghai Wenlai Middle School, has made a special bag to help solve this problem. 2 When one end of the tape is open, the bag can be turned upside down. By holding the tape, users can easily throw wet waste into a trash bin without getting their hands dirty.Shi came up with the idea after an unpleasant experience in which he once got wet waste all over his trousers while throwing it away. 3 He decided to solve the problem. At last he invented the special bag with the help of family members and his science teacher.To invent this is not easy. At first, the tape Shi used was a one-off(一次性) product. 4 So he kept on improving the design. A few months later, the boy got the idea of using weak glue, which allows the waste bag to be reused. He got the idea from Post-it notes(便利贴).5 He has already sold 2 million bags online. But Shi doesn’t think he has done a great thing, “I just enjoy the fun process.”A．Not only old grandmas but also young mothers like his bags.B．It wasn’t environmentally friendly.C．The bag will be widely used in the market.D．Shi’s bag has become popular both in local communities and on the Internet.E．The special plastic bag has a band of adhesive tape(一段胶带).F．Maybe these kinds of waste have made a big mess when you throw them away.G．He found that many other people were facing the same problem.2. The next time you go into a bank, a store, or a supermarket, stop and listen. What do you hear? 1 It’s similar to the music you listen to,but it’s not exactly the same. That’s because this music was especially designed to relax you, or to give you extra energy. Sometimes you don’t even realize the music is playing, but you react to the music anyway.Quiet background music used to be called “elevator(电梯) music” because we often heard it in elevators. But lately we hear it in more and more places, and it has a new name “Muzak”. About one-third of the people in America listen to “Muzak” every day. The music plays for 15 minutes at a time, with short pauses in between. It is always more lively between ten and eleven in the morning, and between three and four in the afternoon, when people are more tired. 2If you listen to Muzak carefully, you will probably recognize the names of many of the songs. Some musicians or songwriters don’t want their songs to be used as Muzak, but others are happy when their songs are chosen. Why? 3Music is often played in public places because it is designed to make people feel less lonely when they are in an airport or a hotel. It has been proven that Muzak does what it is designed to do. Tired office workers suddenly have more energy when they hear the pleasant sound of Muzak in the background. 4 Supermarket shoppers buy 38 percent more groceries.5 They say it’s boring to hear the same songs all the time. But other people enjoy hearing Muzak in public places. They say it helps themrelax and feel calm. One way or another, Muzak affects everyone. Some farmers even say their cows give more milk when they hear Muza!A．Some people don’t like Muzak.B．The music gives them extra energy.C．Music is playing in the background.D．Factory workers produce 13 percent more.E．Muzak tends to help people understand music better.F．They get as much as $4 million a year if their songs are used.G．Muzak is played in most of the big supermarkets in the world.3. Habits in RussiaThere is an old saying that says when in Rome, do as the Romans do. I learned the meaning of this when I stayed in Russia as a visiting scholar(学者).One day I invited some of my Chinese friends to a famous local restaurant in Moscow. My guests and I were excited about our meeting. We hada lively talk until the waiter told me that we were too loud. We lowered our voices. 1 The waiter came over to us two more times with the same message.How bad an impression(印象) we must have left on the local people! In China, it’s natural for a host(主人) to make a lively atmosphere(氛围). However, in Russia and Western countries, having a meal in a public place means you must keep your voice low. 2I felt bad about this. 34 My Russian friend Andrew always looks around and thinks for a while before leaving home. I asked him why he did this. Andrew said,“In Russia, people always spend about a minute going over things and plans in their minds before leaving home. So they won’t leave anything necessary behind.”5 I like to keep my eyes and mind open.A．But this didn’t last long.B．Russians have their own special habits, too.C．Russian people are usually careful and polite.D．You need to be polite to others.E．Luckily, people in Russia usually don’t mind that.F．Even though we tried our best, it’s very difficult to fight against habits.G．Finding the differences between cultures is so much fun.4. As we know, there are differences between Western culture and Chinese culture. 1 Let’s look at some words about animals and plants .Most expressions in Chinese about the dog, for example, “a homeless dog”, “a mad dog”, “a running dog” and “a dog catching a mouse”, have bad meanings. 2 In English, people use the dog to describe good actions. For example, “you are a lucky dog” means you are a lucky person. And “every dog has its day” means each person has good luck sometimes.3 But in Western culture, “cat” is often used to describe a woman who is unkind. There are many other examples of how “cat” is used differently as well.4 People think the rose stands for love, peace, courage and friendship. And the rose is the national flowers of England, America and many other countries.5 We can learn about many differences in cultures by comparing how some words are used.A．However, Chinese love cats very much.B．Westerners love roses very much, while Chinese like peonies(牡丹).C．We can see differences when we pay attention to the way words are used.D．We can see similarities when we pay attention to the way words are used.E．The words about plants and animals are used in good or bad ways in different cultures.F．The rose is regarded as a symbol of love in both China and some Western countries.G．But in Western countries, dogs are considered to be honest and good friends of humans.5. Where do fruits and vegetables come from? When we go to the grocery store, there are shelves of carrots, lettuce, and broccoli. All of this produce comes from farms. Sometimes those farms are very far away. 1 The lettuce could be grown in Mexico. Trucks, ships, and pianes bring food from all over the world to a grocery store near you.But there are also farms close by. 2 His name was Barry Benepe, and he lived in New Y ork City. Grocery stores in New Y ork bought their vegetables from far away and didn’t want to buy vegetables from the nearby farms. Barry knew there had to be a way to sell local vegetables to New Yorkers. “What if the farmers could bring the vegetables to the city themselves?” he asked.3 At first the government had doubts. It wasn’t sure New Y orkers would care enough to buy the vegetables from local farmers instead of the grocery store. But Barry convinced the city officials, and they agreed to help. The new farmers’ market was called a “Greenmarket”.“The success of the market is touching and smelling the fruits and vegetables,” said Barry. New Y orkers agreed. 4 By 2013, New Y ork City had 54 farmers’ markets. They were in every part of the city and on every day of the week.Now the farmers’ markets in New Y ork City don’t just sell vegetables and fruits. 5 All of the foods at the farmers’ markets still come from farms that are close by. Not only does this help the farmers, it makes less pollution.A．Barry took his idea to the city government.B．However, people didn’t like the idea of buying local foods.C．What’s more, people were tired of going out and searching foods.D．They loved the Greenmarket so much that they wanted more farmers’ markets.E．For example, many of the grapes sold in the US are grown in South America.F．You can also buy meat, bread, yogurt, eggs, milk, vegetables and pastries.G．In the 1970s one man thought that we should be eating more food from local farms.6. It is reported that some developed countries have shipped broken parts of computers to China. 1 Last month Hong Kong officers found 131,000 kilograms of broken computers, TVs and phones sent from Japan.2 Dealing with them is not an easy job because dangerous poisons like mercury(汞) and lead(铅) can be found in them. Every time an old computer breaks down it needs to be dealt with safely. But at present broken computer parts are usually buried.3 Many places in China are polluted by ewaste.4 This town is named as the ewaste capital of the world. It has to deal with 1.5 million kilograms of ewaste each year from which it makes 75 million yuan. But it comes at a cost. Many of the poisons in ewaste find their way into the environment. Plastic is burned outdoors and chemical water is poured into rivers. Greenpeace, an environmental group, has found the air, the earth and the rivers in Guiyu badly polluted.The Chinese government wants to develop a way that doesn’t do harm to the environment and people’s life. This year China passed a new environmental protection law which is the strictest one we have ever had. Computer companies like Lenovo and Dell will be asked to take back their old computers. 5 Hopefully the problem with ewaste will be solved in the near future.A．Many people in Guangdong Province make money by dealing with ewaste.B．This is because the companies that make computers know best how to deal with them safely.C．Such a thing can be found almost every day although it is against international laws.D．Guiyu in Guangdong Province is one of them.E．It may be hundreds of years before they are really gone in the earth.F．The electronic waste is harmful to the environment.G．Things like these are called electronic waste or ewaste.文章大意：本文是一篇说明文。

初中英语中考英语阅读理解训练的专项培优练习题(含答案一、中考英语阅读理解训练1．阅读理解How do you get to school every day? By bus or car? Song Kexin, a 14-year-old schoolgirl in Xiamen, prefers to go to school on her bike. "It's the quickest and easiest way to get to school," she said. "When there's a traffic jam, I feel the freedom while passing so many car lines."China was once known as the kingdom of bicycles. But these years, the popularity of bicycles in Europe is rising. Last year, more bicycles were sold than cars in Europe, according to the BBC.Cycling is a safe, clean and cheap way to get around the city. It makes both traffic jams and pollution less, and is great for our health.Of course, Rome wasn't built in a day. The popularity of cycling in many European countries is greatly because of bike-friendly policies.As the traditional "cycling capital" in Northern Europe, Copenhagen's roads keep bicycles and motor cars separated（分离）as much as possible. On these roads, there are pre-green lights for cyclists. These kinds of bicycle traffic lights turn green a few seconds before car traffic lights do. They give the cyclists time to avoid traffic while they are crossing.In Amsterdam, people can hire a bike from almost anywhere in the city. You can start from three hours and the average price for a full day is 8 euros （66.8 yuan）.This year, in Ruian, there are also similar policies to hire public bikes. It's only 20 yuan for a full day. Do you see them around the city? It's important to be safe when you are cycling. If you remember the following ideas, you will be safer.■Although you may think a helmet（头盔）is not cool, it can protect your head if you fall down. Just choose the one that fits you best.■Stop at all stop signs and obey red lights just as cars do. It's a good idea to walk your bike across busy crossings by following traffic lights.■If you are cycling with friends, ride in a line. Don't ride with each other side by side.■Wearing headphones while you are biking is not a good idea. You need to hear what's going on around you.（1）Which of these advantages of cycling are NOT mentioned in the passage?A. Quick, easy and free.B. Safe, clean and cheap.C. Green, healthy and popular.D. Convenient, traditional and comfortable.（2）In Paragraph 5, the underlined word "They" refers to " ".A. pre-green lightsB. car traffic lightsC. Copenhagen's roadsD. bike rental companies（3）Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A. Cycling is much better than driving cars.B. It is helpful for cyclists to wear a helmet.C. More bicycles were sold than cars in China last year.D. In Amsterdam, the average price for a bike is 8 euros.（4）What is the best title for the passage?A. Be Careful While BikingB. Bike-friendly Policies Around UsC. Bikes' Rising Popularity in EuropeD. How to Solve the Problems of Transportation【答案】（1）A（2）A（3）B（4）C【解析】【分析】短文大意：这篇短文讲的是中国曾经是自行车王国，但是这些年欧洲人们骑自行车的人的数量正在上升，人们为什么要骑自行车和怎样骑自行车更安全。

C1Matt Mason has seen the future—and it’s fun. Mason likes thinking about how machines can make our lives easier by doing the work we hate, such as cleaning. He shows a hard floor cleaning system（系统）that’s built into the wall: it will blow dirt to a part of the room where it will be collected by a vacuum（吸尘器）. Then the system will drop some cleaner on the floor and an arm will mop（用拖把擦）it up. ―This may trouble you,‖ says Kara, an expert in Mason’s company. ―But you can program it to come on at 3 a. m., and it will just wet-mop the floor for you.‖When it comes to the kitchen, Bruce Beihoff, another expert at Whirlpool, is sure that in a few years, robots will be doing most of the boring work, freeing us to relax. ―More than just fun, future kitchens will be environmentally friendly,‖ he says. ―A ne w system will be built in the house which can recycle energy （能量）lost from your kitchen to make the whole home warm.‖―The fridge will be the center of the home,‖ says Daniel Lee, a market expert. The fridge will have a touch screen （触摸屏幕）where you can watch TV, surf the Internet, check your e-mail, keep a shopping list and order vegetables. ―Y our fridge is the first place you go in the morning and the last place at night,‖ says Lee.Ever wonder why a 1.9-meter man and a 1.6-meter woman have to cookmeals on counters（工作台）of the same height. ―The height was decided over50 years ago, according to the height of ordinary women,‖ says Jane Langmuir,an expert of cooking machines. ―But times have changed. We have made a newcounter where you press a button and it moves to whatever height you want.‖ At the same time, Ted Selker at MIT’s Counter lab has made the Dishmaker which lets you make dishes and bowls out of plastics at home. After each meal, the dishes are changed straight back into plastics.57. How many inventions are mentioned in the passage?A. Three.B. Four.C. Five.D. Six.58. In future, if you want to clean your house, you will ________.A. have a recycling system built in the wallB. get up early to start your cleaning systemC. use your fridge to give orders to a cleanerD. leave the work to a kind of cleaning machine59. What is future kitchen work like?A. Terrific and relaxing.B. Easy and interesting.C. Enjoyable and exciting.D. Funny and amazing.60. From the passage, we know ________.A. people will have more and more time enjoying themselvesB. future kitchens can provide all the energy for our life every dayC. the fridge can be found in the center of a future houseD. people must be expert at computers to use these inventions57. C 58. D 59. B 60. AC2Each year Ben is glad when school is closed on Martin Luther King Jr. Day. Ben knows that this day honors an important man, but Ben does not feel connected to him. However, the small-world theory (理论) connects Ben to Dr. King. Ben’s mom (0) has a close friend, Amy (1). Amy’s uncle, Mark (2), once met and spoke to John Carter (3), the son of President Jimmy Carter (4). Jimmy Carter knew Dr. King (5). In a way, Ben is only ―five people away‖ from Martin Luther King Jr.The small-world theory says that everyone in the world is connected through a short chain (链条) of people they know. Another name of this chain is degrees of separation. Each degree is a step that separates a person from someone he or she does not know. There are zero degrees of separation between a person and the people he or she knows directly. This means that there are zero degrees between Ben and his mom. There is one degree of separation when just one person separates someone from a person he or she does not know. Ben knows his mom, but he hasn’t met her close friend Amy. Therefore, Ben is one degree away from Amy. As the chain continues, Amy’s uncle, Mark, is two degrees. John Carter is three degrees, and his father is four degrees. Dr. King is five degrees away from Ben. The theory says that there are no more than six degrees of separation between any two people in the world.The small-world theory has a lot to do with math. The theory assumes (假定) that each person knows 100 people. Each one of those 100 people knows 50 different people. Each of those 50 people knows another 50 people, and so on. When someone continues the calculation to six degrees, it is like this: 100 × 50 × 50 × 50 × 50 × 50 = 31.25 × 109. This number is greater than 31 billion (a billion = a thousand million). There are over 6 billion people in the world. These numbers show it is possible that six degrees of separation could include everyone in the world.Does the small-world theory work? No one has ever proved it. Maybe the theory just invites people to think a little more about their places in the world.8. Ben is two degrees away from ________.A. Jimmy CarterB. John CarterC. AmyD. Mark9. What is the meaning of ―degrees of separation‖ in Paragraph 2?A. The chain to connect people.B. The relations between people.C. The steps of knowing strangers.D. The separation between strangers.10. What is the small-world theory mainly about?A. How far Ben is away from Dr. King.B. How many people one can get to know.C. How people are connected in the world.D. How the degrees of separation are set up.11. We can learn from the article that ________.A. the small-world theory worksB. more research is needed to prove the theoryC. six degrees are needed to know the strangersD. the writer’s purpose is to help people find out their places8. D 9. A10. C 11. BC3Many textbooks are not written in the kind of English that we speak every day. In fact, sometimes the reading is so difficult that it almost seems like a foreign language. In a way, it is the language of science. Y ou should not expect to be able to read a difficult science passage the same way you read an interesting story; you should not expect to read it easily and all at once. Instead, you may have to read it several times through, catching on the meaning of difficult words, going back over difficult sentences, and finally putting the whole thing together. Do not be discourages if the whole passage don’t make sens eto you at first. Y ou need to pick it apart patiently until you can understand it.These are the steps to follow when you are reading something difficult:✧ 1. Start to read normally until you run into a sentence that doesn’t make sense to you.✧ 2. When a se ntence doesn’t make sense, go back and read it again more slowly.✧ 3. Look for any word you don’t know in the sentence. Try to understand their meanings using wordparts and context clues(上下文线索). If necessary, look them up in the dictionary.✧ 4. Look at the next few sentences to see if they explain more about the sentence you are working on.Do not read very much farther ahead until you understand what is being said.✧ 5. Finally, read the sentence again. Try to put it into simpler words.✧ 6. Read through the passage once. Try to understand all the hard parts well. Then read the wholepassage once more at a usual speed. This helps you to put all ideas together.The stops sound a lot harder than they are. It is really just the normal way good readers understand anything that is difficult to read. After you have done the best you can this way, you should always feel free to ask for help from your teacher, if you have one.54. The underlined phrase ―run into‖ means ________.A. work outB. come acrossC. look intoD. pass by55. From the passage, we can know ________.A. we should look up new words before readingB. it is sometimes difficult to read a science passageC. the six steps are helpful in learning spoken EnglishD. interesting stories help readers to improve their English56.

When you wave your arms up and down in a straight line, it means ―yes‖. When you point downwards and swingyour arm from side to side, it means ―no‖. If you want the pilot to know that it’s safe to land, push your hands out in front of you and bend（弯曲）your knees. If you want to say that it’s not safe to land, put your arms in the air and move them to one side.Smoke signalsThe smoke from a fire can be seen from far away, so it’s a good way to draw attention. If the weather is dry, it isn’t hard to start a fire. Remember, however, that fires can be very dangerous if they get out of control. Never light a fire unless you’re sure that it can’t spread. .If the ground is dark, light smoke can be seen more easily. Green grass and leaves produce light smoke.Ground-to-air signalsIt’s a good idea to build some signals, too. Use large pieces of wood to make the symbols（标记）. If you can’t find any wood, use earth. Some useful symbols are:F―I need food and water‖.II―I need medicine‖.I ―I am badly hurt‖.X―I am unable to move from here.‖Pilots’ repliesIf the pilot lowers the plane’s wings from side to side, this means ―message received and understood‖（At night, the pilot flashes the plane’s green lights.）If the pilot flies the plane in a clockwise circle , this means ―message received but not understood‖.（At night, the pilot flashes the plane’s red lights.）However, there is no signal which means ―message not received‖. Why not?54. Which picture means ―it’s not safe to land‖?55. What can we learn from the passage?A. Swinging your arm from side to side means ―yes‖.B. If the ground is dark, light smoke can’t be seen.C. If you need some medicine, make a symbol ―II‖.D. The pilots make replies with a blue light at night.56. What is the passage mainly about?A. The explanation of building signals on an island.B. The importance of building signals on an island.C. Ways of sending out signals on a lonely island.D. Ways of receiving signals from a lonely island.54. D 55. C 56. CC5Recent research from the Pew Internet Project suggests that 90% ofAmericans aged from 12 to 17 use the Internet, and 51% of those teensuse social networks. However, there are many possible problems withsocial networking sites and the teenagers who use them.Apart from the social advantages, social networking sites can beused to record school research, develop artistic talents and experiment with other forms of subject creation. They provide a way to communicate with others who share the same interests and to get helpful advice on ongoing projects.Along with these advantages come some dangers. For example, most social networking sites are open to all, especially MySpace, which is the most popular social network among teens in America. It means that they could be put in unpleasant and frightening situations.A greater danger is that teens may become objects of the people with secret purposes. The secrecy of some social networking sites makes it easy for dangerous people to find young teens and invite them into dangerous conversations. It's easy for them to pretend as teens and draw children into dangerousreal-world communication as well. Then further hurt might be on its way.Another danger is identity stealing, which can happen when teens share too much information about their names, dates of birth and locations.Therefore, it's very important to make sure teens are safe when they use social networks.Many of the same rules that work for online chat work for these sites:※Don't use your real name.※Don't give out personal information to people you don't know. A last name and a town are enoughfor a bad guy to find where you are.※Don't believe that people are who they say to be.※Immediately end any communication that makes you uncomfortable mid report it to a parent.Only if you are sure of your safety, can you enjoy the fun brought by social networking. Besides, trying to deal with all problems on your own can lead to terrible results. Remember, asking your parents or school officials for help doesn't mean you are unable to do anything but wiser than many others.55. How many dangers of using social networks are mentioned in the passage?A. 2.B. 3.C. 4.D. 5.56. The writer takes MySpace as an example to show that ________.A. students could be put into unreal situations on the InternetB. teenagers are facing unknown dangers on the social networksC. Internet provides more social websites to American teenagersD. social networks are very popular among teenagers in America57. We can infer from the passage that________.A. the dangers are similar when chatting online and surfing social networksB. more than half American teenagers aged from 12 to 17 use social networksC. teens who ask for help are wiser when meeting problems on social networksD. there are more disadvantages than advantages for teens to use social networks55.

The morning after the storm, though, was beautiful: blue skies, warm air and a calm, inviting sea.My father realized it was a good day for fishing and invited my sister and me to go with him. I was only 14 and fishing had never been my thing, but I decided to go all the same. I’m so glad I did.Being on the boat, we found there was something meters away. When moving nearer, we saw it was a mother whale with her baby. We couldn’t believe it — there aren’t any whales along the coast. The storm must have driven them there, where the sea water was so dirty that nothing could live in it.The little baby whale — actually as big as our boat — was stuck and could not move. The mother went down into the wate r and came up suddenly, making big waves. ―She’s trying to help her baby, but on the wrong side,‖ my father said. At this point, my father moved our boat to the other side and, heading theboat towards the baby whale, pushed it gently. With our several gentle pushes the baby whale turned over and disappeared under water. Then it swam up right beside its mum. They made great efforts to swim towards the deep sea but failed and started heading in the wrong direction. We hurried up to the whales and tried to lead them to the sea. Slowly, they let us lead them, sometimes rising from the water right beside us to breathe — and to give us a trusting look with those huge eyes. Once they hit their first part of clean water from the sea, the mum gave us a wave with her tail and off they swam into the deep sea.In the excitement it had felt like only a few minutes, but we had been with those wonderful animals for almost an hour and a half. That was the simple and lasting beauty of the day. Today, I still look back to that golden day at sea.54. The story happened on a ________ day.A. rainyB. stormyC. sunnyD. cloudy55. In Paragraph 2, the writer says ―I’m so glad I did.‖ because ________.A. he knew where he could see whalesB. he liked fishing in the sea very muchC. he experienced how the whales were savedD. he spent the whole weekend with his family56.

Ancient works of rock art dating back thousands of years lie within caves hidden in the hills. Thepaintings at Hueco Tanks have lasted for centuries.The walls tell stories of many people and many times for at least 10, 000 years. Several different groups of people have traveled through and lived in the area. These groups often left their mark with rock paintings and drawings. Scientists have studied these ancient works of art to learn more about the people who made them. Scientists believe that around 6, 000 BC a group now known as the Desert Archaic people occupied (占有) the area. The earliest of their drawings are simple wavy and straight lines. Later drawings show scenes of people holding spears (矛) while deer and other animals run around them.Around 1, 000 AD the Mogollon people lived in the area. The Mogollon were farmers. More than most farmers, the Mogollon valued water. For them water held great meaning. This group of farmers painted many pictures of water flowing over the land and rain with lightning.The Mescalero Apaches created some of the most recent rock art at Hueco Tanks. They stayed in the area for a short time around 1, 600 AD. Spanish explorers had arrived in North America by this time. Many of the cave paintings from this period show Spanish soldiers on horses.In 1849 the California Gold Rush was well under way. Some people traveled through hot, dry West Texas as they made their way to California’s goldfields. Hueco Tanks provided water and shade (阴凉处) for these travelers. Many of these travelers put their names and dates on the rocks at Hueco Tanks. These writings are still found on the rocks today.In May 1970 Hueco Tanks was made a state park, giving the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department control of the area.The Texas Parks and Wildlife Department is using technology to help take care of the rock art. By studying these works of art, visitors and scientists can learn much about the lives of some early Native Americans.54. Which of the following may be the drawn by the Desert Archaic people?55. What can we learn from the passage?A. Desert Archaic people raised many animals.B. Mogollon people considered water very important.C. The Mescalero Apaches created most of the painting.D. People began to protect the paintings in 1970.56. The passage is an introduction of ________.A. the Native American’s lifeB. the history of Hueco TanksC. the development of the MidwestD. the rock arts at Hueco Tanks54. A55. B 56. DC8In March last year, the car I was driving was involved (卷入) in a serious accident with another car on a country road. I soon found myself at the center of a crazy activity, in the middle of doctors, policemen and passers-by. A large can opener was used to get me out of my broken car and into an ambulance(救护车).Over the next eight hours, I was taken to hospital, tested with X-ray and diagnosed (诊断) with a broken neck. Knowing that I’d been saved from death encouraged me throughout the long wait in the hospital and helped me deal with the countless visitors.Only after I was sure that the last friend had left, could I direct my energies inwards. Flying in and out of my line of vision during my hospital stay was the Red Cross lady, a gentle presence in white who,from time to time, came in to offer cups of tea. After the visitors had gone, she came up to me and checked if I was all right.I found myself telling her everything about the accident, my fears for my family as a result of my injuries (伤)—about my whole life. While I waited for an ambulance to take me to another hospital, she stood by my bed and held my hand as I off-loaded all the emotion I’d hidden from my family. She listened, quiet and patient.Even now, the knowledge that I have the ways to get in touch with her provides me with great comfort. I look forward to a day in the near future when my angel (天使) and I can meet again, in happier situation.In times of danger, faith (真诚) can encourage us. My faith in human nature called back by the kindness of a stranger has helped to ease my journey back to health.54. What happened to the writer in the accident?A. She was hit by a car.B. She was held in her car.C. She was caught by the police.D. She was thrown into a can.55. The underlined word ―off-loaded‖ means ________ in the passage.A. spoke outB. put downC. showed offD. turned over56.

B 55. A56. DC9The rising costs of health care have become a problem for many countries in the world. To deal with this problem, it is reported that a big part of the government’s health budge（预算）has been used for health education and disease prevention instead of treatment. Actually, many kinds of diseases are preventable in many ways and preventing a disease is usually much cheaper than treating it. For example, people could avoid catching a cold if they dressed warmly when the weather starts getting cold. But many people get sick because they fail to do so, and have to spend money seeing a doctor.Daily habits like eating more healthy food would have kept millions of families from becoming bankrupt（破产）if the patients had taken ways for early prevention. For example, keeping a balanced diet （均衡饮食）, such as not consuming too much animal fat and trying to have enough vegetables andfruits, seems to be quite important.One very effective and costless way of prevention is regular（定期的）exercise, which is necessary for a healthy mind and body. Regular exercise, such as running, walking, and playing sports is a good way to make people feel better.In addition, health education plays a key role in improving people’s health. By giving people more information about health, countries could help people understand the importance of disease prevention and ways to achieve it. For example, knowing one’s family medical history is an effective way to help keep healthy. Information about health problems among close relatives will make them aware of what they should do to prevent certain diseases through lifestyle changes, which will work before it is too late.However, paying more attention to disease prevention does not mean medical treatment is unimportant. After all, prevention and treatment are just two different means toward the same effect. In conclusion, we could save money on health care and treat patients more successfully if our country spends more money on health prevention and education.54. What’s the meaning of the underlined word ―consuming‖ in Paragraph 2?A. A voiding.B. Producing.C. Eating.D. Cooking.55. What’s the best title of the passage?A. Health or Illness?B.

C 55. D 56. AC10I will never forget the very moment that caused me to leave mygift behind because I wanted the gift that my older sister Maria had.My family was spending a week at the beach. One morning,Maria went to the beach early, but I stayed behind to finish a drawingof a seashell. After finishing the drawing, I walked to join Maria. She was a top gymnast (体操运动员). Her show was perfect as she wheeled along the beach. The beauty of that sight froze me, and I decided immediately that I too would become a gymnast like her.I knew that I had never been very good at sports. However, when I told my parents I wanted to take gymnastics class, they agreed with me in surprise. The next week, I went to a beginners’ class.If only my parents had talked me out of this misguided plan! Five minutes into the first class, it was clear that I didn’t have the gift of a gymnast. But I kept at it.During this time, drawing and painting—which had been my two favorites—all but left my mind. It must have been hurting for my family as they watched my hopeless efforts. I blindly decided to be like Maria. I just would not give up.At the same time, on the advice of Ms. White, my art teacher, I hurriedly handed in my seashell drawing for an art contest in our town. One night as I was having a hard time practicing, the phone rang. It was Ms. White. ―Alice, you won the contest!‖ she said loudly.―Really?‖ was all I could r eply.―Y es,‖ Ms. White said. ―They’re going to give you a prize. And that’s not all. The winner is also accepted into Wildale’s Summer Fine Arts Institute.‖ I couldn’t believe what I heard. Only a handful of young artists were accepted each summer.That ni ght I didn’t go back into the living room to continue practicing. Gymnastics was Maria’s gift, not mine. It had taken me a while, but I realized that I had a gift of my own.54.

The prices of the houses in the Netherlands are rising, but how long will that last? Will prices then fall? Well, scientists say that prices may go up in the coming years, so many people can't afford a new house.It's reported that the Netherlands needs thousands of new houses for its growing people, but it may not have to build them all. Some of these houses may end up being printed.The local government is working with a university and some building companies to make houses that are fully 3D-printed. As volunteers, an old couple became the first people in Europe to move into such a house.With two bedrooms and a big living area, the house is built layer(层) by layer, using a giant 3D printer and something special. After the house is printed out, workers will use a truck to take the house to the building site and then add a roof and windows to it.It takes around 120 hours to make this house while it usually takes around one to two years to build a house in the traditional way. The couple would live in this house for six months, with a monthly rent of 800 euros(欧元)．1.From the first paragraph, we can know that_________.A. there are too many new houses in the NetherlandsB. everyone in the Netherlands can afford a new houseC. the houses in the Netherlands become more expensiveD. many people in the Netherlands don't want to buy a house2.
