2020年广东省中考英语阅读理解B篇专练（一）Researchers have studied left-handedness for at least 150 years.However, what makes a person become left-handed remains unknown, although there are many theories about it.A recent UK study of unborn babies found that handedness might develop before their births.About nine out of ten unborn babies preferred to put their right hand into their mouths.Another finding is that mothers who are over 40 at the time of a child’s birth are 128% more likely to have a left-handed baby than a woman in her twenties.Since about 90% people are right-handed, left-handed people do go through some difficulties.As our writing runs from left to right, it is hard for a left-handed person to write without smudging (模糊) the ink.What’s more, most tools such as scissors and kitchen knives are designed for use with the right hand.It can be dangerous if they are operated with the left hand.In the past, left-handed children were forced to use their right hand.Luckily, now fewer people have a bias against left-handers.Left-handed children are no longer looked down upon in school.Some shops sell products for left-handers, such as left-handed guitars and even a left-handed computer mouse.Since 1976, there has been an unusual day for left-handers. International Left-Handers Day is celebrated on August 13th every year.It draws people’s attention to the challenges left-handers face in a world full of right-handers.More and more people have realized left-handedness is nothing strange.Some of the most famous left handed people include Mark Twain, Winston Churchill, Barack Obama and Bill Gates.( )1. A baby may develop left-handedness when ____________.A.nine out of ten babies do soB.his mum is in her twenties at his birthC.his mum gives birth to him at an older ageD.he puts his right hand into his mouth often( )2. One problem for left-handed people is that ____________.A.their handwriting is awfulB.people think they are dangerousC.kitchen knives are too big for their left handsD.many things are made only for right-handers( )3. The underlined word “bias”means ____________ in Chinese in this passage.A.态度B.偏见C.恐惧D.偏好( )4. From the passage, we know that left-handed children ____________ in the past.A.lived a comfortable lifeB.were not considered normalC.were very popular at schoolD.could use products for left-handers( )5. The best title of this passage is ____________.A.International Left-Handers DayB.Challenges for Left-handersC.Left-handedness, Nothing StrangeD.Reasons for Left-handedness（二）Your house may have an effect on the shape of your body.Experts say the way you design (设计) your home could play a role in whether you put on the pounds or keep them off.You can make your environment work for you instead of against you.Here are some ways to change your home into part of your diet plan.Open the curtains (窗帘) and turn up the lights.Dark environments are more likely to encourage overeating, for people are often less awkward (尴尬的) when they’re in poorly lit places—and so more likely to eat lots of food.If your home doesn’t have enough window light, get more lights and flood the place with brightness.Mind the colors.Research suggests warm colors make us eat more.In one study, people who ate meals in a blue room consumed (消化) 33 percent less than those in a yellow or red room.Warm colors like yellow make food appear more appetizing , while cold colors make us feel less hungry.So when it’s time to repaint, go blue.Don’t forget the clock—or the radio.People who eat slowly seem to consume about 70fewer calories (卡路里) per meal than those who rush through their meals.Begin paying attention to the time, and try to make dinner last at least 30 minutes.And while you’re at it, actually sit down to eat.If you need some help slowing down, turn on relaxing music.It makes you less likely to rush through a meal.Downsize the dishes.Big serving bowls and plates can easily make us fat.We eat about 22 percent more when using a 12-inch plate instead of a 10-inch plate.When we choose a large spoon over a smaller one, total intake (摄取量) jumps by 14 percent.And we’ll pour about 30 percent more liquid (液体) into a short, wide glass than a tall, skinny (极瘦的) glass.( )1. The passage is especially helpful for those who care about ____________.A.house buyingB.their body shapeC.healthy dietsD.their home comforts( )2. A home environment in blue can help people ____________.A.take in food betterB.burn more caloriesC.reduce food intakeD.feel less awkward( )3. The underlined word “appetizing”probably means ____________ in the passage.A.精致的B.恶心的C.饱腹的D.开胃的( )4. People are advised to ____________ at mealtimes.A.eat quicklyB.play fast musice smaller spoonsD.turn down the lights( )5. The best title for the passage is ____________.A.Ways of Serving DinnerB.Is Your House Making You Fat?C.Effects of Self-awarenessD.Is Your Home Environment Relaxing?（三）Animals can move from place to place，but plants cannot.When an animal is under attack，it can run away or fight back.Plants certainly cannot run away，and they have no teeth or claws (爪子).But plants can protect themselves in both physical and chemical ways.Some plants have their own ways to keep animals away.For example，the leaves of the holly (冬青) have sharp prickles (刺) that discourage grass-eating animals.Holly leaves on lower places have more prickles than leaves on upper places.This is because the lower leaves are easier for most animals to reach.Some plants，such as the oak trees (橡树)，have thick and hard leaves that are difficult for animals to eat.Some grasses may contain a sandy material，and eating such grasses wears down the animals’teeth.Many plants also have chemical defenses.Some plants produce chemicals that taste bitter (苦) or cause an unpleasant reaction.Some plants may fight against an attack by increasing the production of these chemicals.When a worm bites a tobacco leaf (烟叶)，the leaf produces a chemical smell.Many plants depend on both physical and chemical defenses.A certain plant in China，for instance，has prickly leaves，and each prickle has poisonous water (毒液).Only one experience with this kind of plant will teach an animal to stay away from it in the future.( )1. A plant ____________ when it is under attack.A.can protect itselfB.can run awayC.can fight backD.must die( )2. According to the passage, the leaves of the holly have sharp prickles because ____________.A.they are beautiful to watchB.they stop people from pickingC.they stop grass-eating animalsD.they are lower( )3. An oak tree can protect itself because ____________.A.it has leaves with sharp pricklesB.it has leaves with a sandy materialC.it has thick and hard leavesD.its leaves taste bitter( )4. What does the underlined word “sandy”mean in Chinese?A.含盐的B.坏掉的C.含沙的D.腐烂的( )5. The main idea of this passage is ____________.A.holly has its own ways to keep animals awayB.some plants’leaves can protect themC.several ways to protect plantsD.plants can protect themselves in their own ways（四）A caterpillar (毛毛虫) that eats plastic bags could hold the key to solving plastic pollution，scientists say.Researchers at Cambridge University have discovered that the caterpillar which eats beeswax (蜂蜡)，can also degrade (降解) plastic.Experiments show the insect can break down the chemical bonds (键) of plastic in a similar way to absorbing beeswax.Each year，about 80 million tons of the plastic are produced around the world.The plastic is used to make shopping bags，food packaging，one-off raincoat and other things，but it can take hundreds of years to degrade completely.However，caterpillars can make holes in a plastic bag in under an hour.“The caterpillar will be the starting point.We need to understand the details under which this processoperates.We hope to provide the technical solution to cutting down the problem of plastic waste,”the scientist said.And the scientists who discovered it want to speed up the process of discovering the chemical secrets behind the natural degradation of plastic.They think something in the caterpillar—as well as the insect itself—might play a role in breaking down plastic.If the chemical process can be found out，it could lead to a solution to managing plastic waste in the environment.“We are planning to use this finding in a practical way to get rid of plastic waste，working towards a solution to saving our oceans and rivers,”said the scientist.“However，we should not feel good to dump plastic on purpose in our environment just because we now know how to degrade it.”( )1. Scientists think the caterpillar hold the key to solving plastic pollution because ____________.A.it is fed on beeswaxB.it can be done experimentsC.it can degrade plasticD.it makes no waste( )2. Plastic is used for ____________.A.making shopping bagsB.food packagingC.one-off raincoatsD.all of the above( )3. The key point of the solution is that ____________.A.the caterpillar is a key point of the researchB.the chemical process which degrades the plasticC.the caterpillar plays a key role in breaking down plasticD.how to speed up the discovering of the chemical secrets( )4. The underlined word “dump”means ____________ in Chinese.A.购买B.售卖C.扔掉D.降解( )5. What is the best title of this passage?A.How caterpillars degrade plasticB.Scientists are working towards plastic degradationC.Scientists have found the chemical processD.Caterpillars may help to solve plastic pollution（五）What is the worst disease in the world? Many people might say it is cancer (癌症).Cancer will kill about 9.6 million people in the world this year, according to the World Health Organization.Scientists have been working to find ways to beat cancer.A lot of progress has been made in this field.James P Allison from the US and Japanese researcher Tasuku Honjo discovered a new kind of cancer treatment that earned them the 2018 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine in October.The new treatment can make our immune systems (免疫系统) strong enough to effectively fight cancer cells.It is hoped that this treatment can be used to treat most cancers in the future.This is not the only recent improvement in cancer treatment.In November, the US Food and Drug Administration approved a new cancer drug called Vitrakvi.Instead of being effective only for treating specific types of cancer, this drug can be used to treat 17 different kinds of cancer, including lung cancer and breast (乳腺) cancer, USA Today reported.Finding cancer as early as possible is the best way to beat it.To check people for cancer, doctors must collect tissue (组织) from a patient’s tumor (肿瘤) and test it.This process can take a long time.But in December, scientists from the University of Queensland in Australia developed a simple cancer test that can detect (检测) cancer in a patient’s blood.The test takes less than 10 minutes.The test is about 90 percent accurate , the Guardian reported.With all of these treatments, cancer can be effectively controlled.Honjo believes most kinds of cancer will become treatable by 2050.“Even if we cannot completely eliminate (消除) the tumor, we can survive while still having part of a tumor,”Honjo said at a press conference in Stockholm, Sweden, in December.( )1. ____________ won the 2018 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine.A.James P AllisonB.Tasuku HonjoC.VitrakviD.James P Allison and Tasuku Honjo( )2. Which of the following is TRUE about the new cancer treatment?A.It was discovered in October, 2018.B.It can be used to treat all the cancers in the future.C.It is the only recent improvement in cancer treatment.D.It can make our immune systems strong enough to effectively fight cancer cells.( )3. The underlined word “accurate”probably means ____________ in Chinese.A.有风险的B.准确的C.错误的D.有误差的( )4. According to the passage, the best way to beat cancer is to ____________.A.find it as early as possibleB.eliminate the tumor completelyC.detect it in the patient’s bloodD.discover a new treatment( )5. The passage is mainly about ____________.A.the great progress made to beat cancerB.a new cancer treatmentC.the best way to beat cancerD.two famous scientists（六）For us humans, one of the greatest experiences is to taste all kinds of delicious food.But for penguins, they cannot get a taste of this happiness.That’s because penguins can’t actually taste the delicious flavors (味道)of their favorite food—fish!Scientists from the University of Michigan examined the genome (基因组)of five species of penguins.They found that no one can taste umami (鲜味),the flavor of meat or fish,the BBCreported. Many animals have five basic tastes: sweet, sour, salty, bitter and umami.But according to genetic data, penguins are believed to have only sour and salty tastes.These findings are surprising and puzzling.And scientists don’t have a good explanation for them.But they have a few ideas.First, one of the umami genes doesn’t work in cold temperatures.“It’s about zero degrees when they eat cold fish,”Zhang Jianzhi,the lead scientist, told the Daily Mail, so even if the penguins had a functional (功能的)gene, it might not work when they needed it.Second, penguins’tongues (舌头) are very special which may have something to do with their lack of taste.Instead of being covered with taste buds which help to taste food, penguins’tongues are very spiky .This is better for them to hold slippery (滑的) fish than tasting them.One study even showed that some types of penguins don’t even have taste buds (味蕾).However, penguins seem to be managing just fine.“Their behavior of swallowing food whole, and their tongue structure and function, suggest that penguins need no taste perception,”said Zhang.( )1. How many tastes do penguins have?A.Four.B.Three.C.Two.D.Five.( )2. From the passage, we can learn that ____________.A.temperatures can decide the umami genes of penguinsB.the umami genes in penguins would work when neededC.penguins’umami genes work well in cold temperaturesD.penguins’tongues are very slippery( )3. The underlined word “spiky”means ____________ in the passage.A.圆滑的B.美味的C.钉子似的D.软绵绵的( )4. All of the following decide that penguins need no taste perception EXCEPT ____________.A.they always swallow food wholeB.they live in cold temperaturesC.their tongue function is differentD.their tongue structure is special( )5. The study finds that ____________.A.different penguins have their own favorite fishB.penguins have different genomes for the five tastesC.penguins don’t have any of the five basic tastesD.penguins can’t taste the flavor of fish（七）Artificial intelligence (人工智能), or AI in short, is the science of giving computers and machines ability to think and work like humans.AI scientists and engineers have made a lot of cool technologies.AI is rapidly catching up with the human ability to read faces.As a result, facial recognition (识别) is used a lot in the world.Chinese police use this technology to identify criminals (罪犯).Once they caught a criminal when he attended a concert.It also checks the ID of ride-hailing (网约车) drivers and lets people pay for things with a smile.AI is also used in self-driving cars, which are believed to be the future of driving.Most drivers may wave or nod at passers-by to let them cross the street, but self-driving cars don’t have this ability.Car makers are testing a light signal system to help them “speak”to humans.The system can show what self-driving cars will do.For example, if a driverless car is yielding (让路), it will flash two white lights side to side.A rapidly flashing light tells passers-by that the car is about to speed up.Service Robots also show you how powerful AI is.Imagine this—you come back home from school and your robot housekeeper is waiting for you at the door.After dinner, he teaches you to play the piano, just like a real music teacher.Such thoughts will soon happen in the real world.In the future, more and more service robots will become good home helpers.AI is so powerful that it can help human beings and even replace us in many jobs.( )1. According to the passage, facial recognition is used for ____________.A.driving carsB.making people smileC.calling the policeD.checking people’s information( )2. The underlined word “identify”probably means____________ in Chinese.A.减少B.鉴定C.消灭D.帮助( )3. In the future, a self-driving car may communicate with humans by ____________.A.waving to themB.speaking to themC.nodding at themD.flashing lights( )4. Which technology is used in real life according to the passage?A.Service Robots at school.B.Robots as ride-hailing drivers.C.Facial recognition for payment.D.Light signals for self-driving cars.( )5. What can we learn from the passage?A.People use AI in many different ways.B.AI will take the place of human beings in all jobs.C.Self-driving cars will be able to talk like humans.D.A criminal was caught for inventing facial recognition.（八）Do you find it difficult to put down your mobile phone?If yes, you’re not alone.These days, many people are facing the stress in the use of mobile phones.They reach for their mobile phones when they wake up in the morning, and keep checking their social media apps to get the latest updates (更新).A report from Google shows that 70 percent of people don’t want to spend much time on their phones.This is why Google introduced an app called Dashboard for the new Android operating system (安卓操作系统).This new app includes functions (功能) that help users manage the time.For example, users can see how many times they’ve unlocked their phone, how many times they’ve checked their social media apps, and how much time they spend on each app every day.Once the users see this information, they’ll be able to make some changes.With the App Timer (计时) function, users can set a time limit for how long they can use each app for every day.After they’ve hit the limit, they won’t be able to use the app until the next day.And with another function, the app gets incoming calls silent when the user puts the phone face down.If people truly want to make full use of their free time instead of losing hours on their phones, these new functions are just one way of doing that.After all, who needs to use an app to stop you from using other apps? The easiest answer would be just to use your willpower.( )1. The users’stress comes from ____________.A.too many updates of the appsB.too many functions of the appC.too much information they receiveD.too much time they spend on the phone( )2. Which of the following is NOT included in Dashboard’s functions?A.It stops the users from using their willpower.B.It checks how much time the users spend on apps.C.It lists how many times the users have unlocked the phone.D.It shows how many times the users have checked social media apps.( )3. The underlined word “limit”in Paragraph 4 means ____________ in Chinese.A.目的B.标准C.许可D.限制( )4. What does the writer think of Dashboard?A.Its design is perfect.B.It may be helpful to some people.C.It needs more functions.D.It has too many functions.( )5. What’s the main idea of the passage?A.How to use your mobile phone correctly.B.To introduce a new app to help users manage the time.C.How to manage your time on phone.D.Many people are facing the stress in the use of mobile phones.（九）Now more and more people have cars.The car makes our life more convenient，and does some bad to us as well.Driving for more than two hours a day negatively (消极地) affects IQ levels，scientists warned.A recent study found that long time behind the wheel could speed up the effects of age on the brain.It might come as bad news for middle-aged drivers.The researchers said that the results could be explained by the fact that the mind is less active on long car journeys.The big project studied more than half a million British people aged from 37 to 73 over a period of five years.Out of these about 93,000 of them drove more than two or three hours a day.Researchers found that not only did these people have lower brainpower (脑力) to begin with but their IQ score went down more rapidly over the course of the study than those who did little or no driving.Bakrania，a medical expert at the University of Leicester，said，“We know thatregularly driving for more than two or three hours a day is bad for your heart.And this research suggests it is bad for your brain too，perhaps because your mind is less active in those hours.”Previous studies have found that long time of inactivity has a bad effect on brainpower.Dr.Bakrania’s research shows similar results for those who watched more than two hours of television a day.But the study also found using computers actually raised people’s cognitive (认知) skills, leading the scientist to suggest another possible factor for driving’s negative effects.( )1. Driving for a long time causes the brain to run slower because ____________.A.driving for long makes you tiredB.driving for long will kill more brain cellsC.the mind is less active on long car journeysD.the mind gets excited and happy on long car journeys( )2. ____________ people in the study drive more than two hours a day.A.9.3%B.18.6%C.81.4%D.90.7%( )3. The underlined word “inactivity”means ____________ in Chinese.A.活跃B.消极C.不活跃D.积极( )4. According to the passage,____________ is as bad for your brain as driving for long.A.reading for over two hoursing computers for less than two hoursC.sitting for over two hoursD.watching TV for over two hours( )5. What is the best title of this passage?A.Driving for long has bad effects on your brain.B.People who drive for long are usually stupid.C.You can be smarter if you never drive.D.Driving for long makes you less clever.（十）Getting the chance to hold a butterfly is a truly magical experience.Butterflies are shy, so you should consider yourself lucky if you get one to stay on your hand.Holding butterflies requires great care.Wash and dry your hands.Chemicals will do harm to butterflies’scales (鳞片), wings and bodies.So if you put on any sunscreen (防晒霜) before you go off to catch your butterfly, wash it off under the running water before touching them.Use sugar water.Butterflies have a sweet tooth.You may be able to get a butterfly to land on you without a net by making butterfly nectar (花蜜).You can make butterfly nectar by mixing 4 parts water and 1 part sugar together.While watching butterflies near flowers or plants,put a little bit of the sugar water on your hand.They may soon be attracted by the sweet smell and fly to your hand to feed.Remain very still.Butterflies are very skittish and will get frightened (惊吓) easily.If you want one to land on your hand and stay there for a while,be still and avoid any sudden movements.Be careful when holding a butterfly.While the butterfly is sitting on your hand,avoid petting it.Just try to watch its beauty without touching.Butterfly’s wings are covered in tiny scales.These scales give them their wing patterns (图案),and make them more aerodynamic (流线型的) when flying.When you touch their wings, they lose scales.If they lose these scales, they can still fly.However, the more scales they lose, the less aerodynamic they will be when flying.( )1. How many suggestions does the writer give on holding a butterfly?A.Three.B.Four.C.Five.D.Six.( )2. You should wash hands before holding a butterfly because ____________.A.butterflies like clean handsB.it can stop people getting sickC.sunscreen keeps butterflies awayD.sunscreen is harmful to butterflies( )3. The underlined word “skittish”means ____________ in Chinese in the passage.A.仔细的B.谨慎的C.胆小的D.速度快的( )4. What is important for a butterfly to fly aerodynamically according to the last passage?A.Scales.B.Wings.C.Wing patterns.D.Body.( )5.

广东省短文填空真题汇总(2010-2020)2020 年广东省初中毕业生学业考试英语试题借助上下文补充所缺信息。

每个空只能填写一个形式正确、意义相符的单词。

An old man was fishing on the bank of a river. A child came to 46 him fishing. The old man was really 47 at fishing and it didn’t take long for him to catch a full basket of fish. The old man saw that the child was very cute, and he wanted to give 48 a whole basket of fish. But the child shook her head. The old man was 49 and asked, “Why don’t you want the fish?”The child 50 , “I want the fishing rod(竿) i n your hands.”The old man asked, “Why do you want the rod?”“It doesn’t take long to eat all the fish in a basket. But 51 I have the fishing rod, I can go fishing by myself and I won’t be afraid of not having any more fish to eat.”I think you will certainly say that the child is very smart. Wrong! If she doesn’t know 52 to fish, she cannot have fish to eat, even though she gets the fishing rod. It’s useless to only have a fishing rod. Fishing skills are the 53 important, not the fishing rod.Too many people think that if they have a “fishing rod” in their life, they will 54 longer be afraid of the wind and rain. They are just 55 the child. She thought that if she had a fishing rod, she would have fish to eat.46. 47. 48. 49. 50.51. 52. 53. 54. 55.2019 年广东省初中毕业生学业考试英语试题请用适当的词完成下面的短文,并把所缺单词填写在答题卡指定的位置上。

2020-2021中考英语英语阅读理解专题练习(含答案)一、英语阅读理解1．阅读理解Now too much CO makes the Earth warmer and warmer, and brings bad effect to people. To save our Earth, a new lifestyle called low-carbon life becomes popular. Low carbon means low energy and no waste. It is necessary for everybody to learn to live a low-carbon life.To live a low-carbon life, we'd better save as much energy as we can. For example, turn off the lights and TV when you don't use them, use cold water to wash clothes or dishes: take a short shower and try to take a cold one when the weather gets warm: don't do the cooking with electricity.To live a low-carbon life, we should eat less meat. Being a vegetarian can help reduce (v)one and a half ton of carbon dioxide a year, but keeping animals for food produces even more carbon dioxide than all the cars do in the world.To live a low-carbon life, we should plant more trees. Trees are very important for us. They can not only produce oxygen for us to breathe and keep the air clean. But also take in the harmful gases from the air. To protect trees we should stop people from cuing down trees and plant as many trees as we can.If we can keep them a habit in our daily life, the earth will become a safer planet for us to live on.（1）Why does low carbon life become popular?A.Because it can protect animals.B.Because it can save the earth.C.Because It can protect trees.D.Because it can clean water.（2）How many kinds of way of living a low-carbon life are talked about in the passageA.ThreeB.FourC.FiveD.Si x（3）What can we do to make carbon dioxide become less?A.We can use cold water in our life.B.We can try to use less water.C.We can eat too much meat.D.We can take a bath.（4）What does the underlined word "them" refer to?A.The ways to protect treesB.The ways to keep animals for foodC.The ways to live a comfortable lifeD.The ways to live a low-carbon life（5）Where can we read this passage?A.In a fashion magazineB.In a newspaperC.In a travel guideD.In a history book 【答案】（1）B（2）A（3）B（4）D（5）B【解析】【分析】文章大意：本文主要讲述了太多的二氧化碳使地球变暖，为了拯救我们的地球，应提倡低碳生活，本文主要介绍了几种低碳生活方式，如节约能源、少吃肉、多种树等。

2020广东省中考英语专题训练阅读理解一Would you like to live in a city where buildings turn the lights off for you, and self-driving cars will find the nearest parking space themselves? Although it might sound a little far from you, living in a “smart” city like this could happen sooner than you think.Great changes have taken place in towns that we have lived in for centuries, while completely new cities are being built. One such place is the city of Songdo. Every home there will have a “telepresence” system (远程遥控系统)—allowing users to control the heating and looks, take part in video meetings, and receive education, health care and government services. Around the city, escalators (自动扶梯) will only move when someone is on them, and offices and schools will all be connected to the system.The great mind behind Songdo is from the company Cisco. In fact, technology companies around the world such as IBM, Siemens and Microsoft are already in the business.About 75% of the world's population will live in cities by 2050, so cities will need to be more modern to deal with the coming problems. “Making cities smarter is one way out, and I think this will in turn make cities greener,” said Dan Hill, head of a research company.()1. According to the text, living in a“smart”city ____.A. is not a green wayB. will be far from youC. will soon become trueD. is completely impossible()2. Paragraph 2 is mainly about ____.A. a city of the futureB. a meeting in SongdoC. a plan to build a houseD. a report on public health()3. Which company offers the great mind to build Songdo?A. Cisco.B. IBM.C. Siemens.D. Microsoft.()4. Dan Hill thinks that making cities smarter is one way to ____.A. drive people out of citiesB. control the world's populationC. develop his own companyD. solve the cities' coming problems()5. Which of the following might be the best title for the passage?A. Future EducationB. Smart CitiesC. Government ServicesD. Famous Companies二A new kind of burger is now popular in the United States. It looks and tastes thesame as any other burger. Butcompany behind the burger, Impossible Foods, uses peas and potatoes to make the“beef”. They take coloring,()1. People can use stem cells to grow the following meat EXCEPT ____.A. chickenB. beefC. porkD. mutton()2. The “beef” burger is now popular in ____.A. ChinaB. JapanC. AmericaD. Britain()3. Which is NOT the advantage of algae?A. The price is low.B. It grows quickly.C. It is very healthy.D. It tastes very good.()4. Which of the following statements is TRUE?A. There are four steps to make lab-grown burgers.B. “Beef” burger looks different from any other burger.C. People use more water and land to make meat out of plants.D.

To tell people how to make lab-grown meat.D. To show why people should eat less meat.三People from north China are different from people in south China in many ways. For example, most people in the north tend (倾向) to prefer to eat meat, while southerners prefer vegetables. But where do these differences come from?A study of over 140,000 Chinese people has shown that genetics (遗传学) might hold the answer. Scientists from BGI-Shenzhen, a gene study center in China, found that six genes can cause genetic differences between people from different parts of China. This is a result of natural choice, which leads to different eating habits.According to the study, more people from north China carry the FADS2 gene than those fromsouth China. This gene helps to metabolize (代谢) fat in the human body. Therefore, people from north China are better able to digest (消化) meat and fat. This helps them live more easily in northern areas where there is more meat and fewer vegetables.Moreover, the study also showed that people from the south are more immune (有免疫力的) to certain illnesses than people from the north. For example, malaria (疟疾) was once widespread in some parts of south China. So people’s genes changed so that they could better resist the illness. However, there are also downsides. People from the south are more likely to have a certain kind of blood illness. The gene G6PD, which causes this illness, is more common in people from the south than those from the north. It seems that nature has a way of balancing itself out.()1. ______ cause people to have different eating habits.A. Their genesB. The weatherC. The food they growD. The houses they live()2. According to the passage, FADS2 ______.A. helps people put on weightB. helps people digest meatC. can help people live longerD. can cause a blood illness()3. From the passage, we know that people from the south ____.A. don't carry the gene G6PDB. are more immune to malariaC. are less likely to get blood illnessesD. have more healthy eating habits()4. The underlined word “resist” might mean ____ in Chinese.A. 抵抗B. 治疗C. 研究D. 传播()5. The passage mainly talks about ____.A. why Chinese people prefer to eat meatB. how people have different ways of digesting foodC. how genes can influence our habits and preferencesD. the progress Chinese scientists have made in studying genetics四Have you ever tried 3-D printing? A team of seven students from No. 34 Middle School in Zhengzhou, Henan, have won awards for their creative 3-D printing works. Two of the team's works took the top prize at the International Youth Innovation Design Competition, which was held in France this summer. One of their works had the theme “China's New Era (时代)”. The other work was an ancient Chinese palace, which they sent as a gift to local officials in Lille, France.The team members learned how to print in their school's 3-D printing club. They took classes twice a week to learn 3-D printing. To make 3-D-printed items, they first draw a blueprint. Then, they use a computer to design models of the pieces they need. After that, they use a 3-D printer to print the pieces and put them together.But knowing how to use the tools is just one part of mastering 3-D printing. One also has to have imagination. To show the theme “China's New Era”, they printed out items(项目) representing(代表) high-speed trains, bike sharing, cashless payment and online shopping. They placed these items around a dragon, which represented China. They made this work within just three hours, winning a national 3-D printing competition in China and later the international competition.When they got to the international competition, they wanted to present something that represented traditional Chinese culture. They were inspired(得到灵感) by a trip to the Palace Museum. “When we saw the buildings there, we thought ‘that's it'!” said Zhang Jiuxing, 14. They took photos of the buildings and did a lot of research to make their 3-D-printed works more realistic. The students will continue to learn about this technology and make more creative things.()1. Where have the students won the prize at the International Youth Innovation Design Competition?A. In Zhengzhou.B. In Henan.C. In France.D. In China.()2. The underlined word “blueprint” in Paragraph 2 means ___.A. 油画B. 蓝图C. 打印机D. 蓝牙()3. Paragraph 3 mainly talks about ____.A. the importance of tools in 3-D printing competitionB. the importance of creation in 3-D printing competitionC. the importance of imagination in daily lifeD. the importance of competition in daily life()4. What did they do to represent Chinese culture in the international competition?A. They had a trip to the Palace Museum.B. They took photos and did a lot of research.C. They made more creative things.D. They made an ancient Chinese palace.()5. Where can we read this passage?A. In a newspaper.B. In a novel.C. In a notice.D. In an advertisement.五六七2019 International Wild Bird Photo CompetitionEvery year, as part of the Bird and Nature Festival, an international photo competition dedicated (献给) to wild bird is organized.

However, many of our animal friends may not be around for much longer.According to the Living Planet Report released by the World Wildlife Fund(WWF)in October, populations of several animals, including mammals(哺乳动物), birds and fish, had fallen by about 60 percent since 1970.As the report said, one of the biggest causes of wildlife loss is human activity. Three quarters of the world’s land has been affected by human activity. Many natural habitats have been destroyed to create farmland.About 300 mammal species(种类)are dying out because humans are over-eating them. Another example is the industrial over-fishing of the oceans, The Guardian noted.The challenge we face is to find ways to meet the needs of our growing population whileprotecting the environment, the WWF said. It has called on world governments and businesses to make efforts together to protect people and nature.The situation in China is not positive, either. According to a report by China Daily in November, Chinese paddlefish (白鲟) may be dying out. And there are now less than 500 green peafowl (孔雀) in the wild, CCTV reported in June.To protect endangered animals, measures have been taken in China and progress has been made. For example, China has banned(禁止)the use of rhino horn (犀牛角) and tiger bones, as well as banned ivory trading, China Daily reported. It has also held some activities to increase public awareness(意识).()1. What do we know from the Living Planet Report?A. Animals are destroying natural habitats.B. The human population is increasing.C. Many animal species are dying out.D. Humans and animals are equal in terms of their population.()2. According to the passage, what leads to wildlife loss?①creating farmland①over-eating of mammals①air pollution①industrial over-fishingA. ①①①B. ①①①C. ①①①D. ①①①()3. The underlined word “It” in Paragraph 5 is about ____.A. the governmentB. the populationC. the environmentD. the challenge()4.

Paragraph 7 was written to show ____.A. which animal species are endangered in ChinaB. how Chinese people deal with environmental problemsC. how to increase public awareness to protect animalsD. what efforts China has made to protect endangered animals十If you skip a meal, do you ever notice yourself starting to get angry or annoyed very easily? Well, this is often known as being “hangry” or being angry because you are very hungry.But as it turns out, it's not just a funny phrase, but it is scientifically true! Scientists found this feeling of anger usually comes from having low glucose(葡萄糖)levels in the blood. Glucose is put into the body after you eat.The brain also needs this to work correctly. When the body is low in glucose, the brain sends hormones(激素)to increase the amount of glucose in the body. Brenda Bustillos, a dietitian (营养学家) at Texas A & M University, the US, said, “Hunger leads to high stress hormones, which makes it hard to control our emotions.”The brain even starts to feel like you are dealing with a life-threatening(威胁生命的)situation if you don't get enough glucose. Another problem is that the brain will also use neuropeptide (神经肽) to send a message saying you should eat. But this is the same chemical that manages anger.Amanda Salis, PhD, University of Sydney, says that we may also be able to thank our ancestors for our hanger. Salis says that long ago when there was not much food, people had to be aggressive to eat as much as they could to get enough food to live. So even now when most people have enough food to eat, there is still that aggressive feeling toward needing food.()1. If you are“hangry”, you ____.A. get hungry because you are angryB. get hungry easily when you are tiredC. get angry because you are hungryD. get angry easily when you are tired()2. According to the scientists, the feeling of anger usually results from ____.A. low glucose levelsB. high blood pressureC. low hormonesD. controllable emotions()3. The underlined word “aggressive” in Paragraph 5 means ___.A. 爱吵闹的B. 有闯劲的C. 善战的D. 有见地的()4. From the passage, we can learn that neuropeptide ____.A. is a chemical that sends a message saying we are fullB. is a stress hormone that controls our emotionsC. is a chemical that helps us deal with hard situationsD. is a chemical that manages our anger()5. The passage is mainly talking about ____.A. the reasons for being angryB. the results of staying hungryC. the ways to control our emotionsD. the relationship between anger and hunger十一十二十三For a long time, a couple of Chinese parents were allowed to have only one child in order to control China's population. However, after China's two-child policy came out, the number of newly-born babies didn't rise rapidly as some experts expected.The same situation does not happen only in China, but also in other countries. There has been a remarkable global decline in the number of children women are having, according to a study published in The Lancet. The study looked at birth trends in several countries from 1950 to 2017.In 1950, women had an average of 4.7 children in their lifetime. The number was 2.4 children per woman in 2017. The researchers said that the findings were a “huge surprise”. This means that nearly half of the countries they looked at are now facing a “baby bust (婴儿荒)”. There are not enough children to maintain (保持) the countries’ population size, according to a report published by the BBC.“As women have gotten more educated and participated more in the workplace, many women prefer to have fewer children. So there is no surprise that fertility has come down tremendously (非常地),” said study author Christopher Murray. “And it comes down faster in younger women.”Getting married later in life is another factor. “The age at which women are getting married is increasing,” James Kiarie, coordinator for the World Health Organization, told CNN.()1. Before the two-child policy, a couple of Chinese parents were allowed to have ____.A. one childB. two childrenC. three childrenD. four children()2. According to The Lancet, the study shows that ____.A. more women prefer to have fewer childrenB. more women don’t want to get marriedC. more women decide to give up workingD. more women want to make lots of money()3. Which of the following is NOT a reason for the “baby bust”?A. Women get more educated.B. Women prefer to get married later.C. Women want to have more free time.D. Women participate more in the workplace.()4. The underlined word “fertility” probably means ____ in Chinese.A. 失业率B. 离婚率C. 犯罪率D. 生育率()5. What's the main idea of the passage?A. China has a new policy.B. Many countries face the “baby bust”.C. There is a remarkable decline in the world's population.D. A magazine published a study on the world's population.十四When throwing away waste, do you know which bin it should go in? Have you ever noticed the differently-colored bins on the street? Some of you might not be able to answer these questions. However, it's actually quite important to know how to sort (将……分类) your waste.If you don't sort your waste, all of it will go to a landfill (垃圾填埋场) and be buried together. These landfills can take up large areas of ground that could have been used for planting trees or crops. The electronic waste you throw away, such as batteries (电池), can pollute the soil and groundwater. Other waste, like the metal part of a pen, can be used to make other things if they are properly recycled.With this in mind, many cities in China have been running waste-sorting activities. For example, Shanghai announced in July that within three years, all the people in Shanghai should sort their waste into four groups: wet, recyclable, harmful and dry.Wet waste is also known as household waste. They are things that you don't want but pigs can eat. Paper, metal, glass and other things that can be reused are recyclable waste. Harmful waste includes things like medicine and batteries. Finally, any waste that's not wet, recyclable or harmful will go into the “dry waste” bin.Many other Chinese cities plan to use this method too. Now that you know this, perhaps you can do your part to protect the environment and encourage others to sort their waste.()1. The underlined word “buried” probably means ____ in Chinese.A. 掩埋B. 焚烧C. 分拣D. 清洗()2. What will probably happen if we don’t sort our waste according to the passage?①Some waste will hurt animals.①It will waste some useful things.①Some waste will pollute the soil and groundwater.①It will waste areas of ground to deal with the waste.A. ①①①B. ①①①C. ①①①D. ①①①①()3. From the passage we know wet waste refers to the things ____.A. that can be reusedB. that are sent to a landfillC. that we don't want but pigs can eatD. that are harmful to the environment()4. Recyclable waste includes the following things EXCEPT ____.A. paperB. metalC. glassD. medicine()5. What does the author mainly want to tell us?A. We should avoid wasting things.B. We should learn to sort our waste.C. We should protect groundwater.D. We should support waste-sorting activities.答案一CAADB二DCDAB三ABBAC四CBBDA五FEDAB六BCEFA七CDBDC八BCCBA九CBDAD十CABDD十一DBEGA十二DCFEG十三AACDB十四ACCDB21。

Recreation(娱乐)2People say that “travel is the best teacher”and there is no better example of this idea than the Ming Dynasty travel writer and geographer Xu Xiake (1587—1641). His book The Travel Notes of Xu Xiake, not only encouraged a love of travelling among Chinese people but provided important scientific information about the country s land and geography.Born into a wealthy Jiangyin family, Xu became interested in books about different places at an early age. When he was 18, however，Xu's father died. He now was responsible for the family farm and taking care of his 60-year-old mother as tradition required. But his mother refused to keep him at home. She agreed that Xu could travel for three months every year, when there was less farm work. So at the age of twenty and with his mother's support, Xu set off for the first time. Then he travelled for the next 30 years.During his travel, he carefully studied the lands he passed through and recorded his experiences in a diary. This diary, which once had over 500,000 words, would eventually become The Travel Notes of Xu Xiake. Although rich, Xu avoided comfortable travel, preferring to go almost everywhere on foot. This way he could research the environment in detail and get a true picture of the natural world.Sadly Xu became seriously ill during his last and longest journey. He died in 1641, soon after returning to his hometown for the last time. His diary was finally printed years after his death.()1. What is the passage mainly about?A.

What is the correct order for the following events from Xu's life?a. He went on his first journey.b. His book was finally printed.c. He returned to his hometown for the last time.d.

Where does rice come from? Yuan Longping and his team work to grow rice on the farmland.Food was a big problem in China in the past. This is because China had 22% of the world's population, but only 7% of its farmland. In the 1960s, China suffered (遭受) a serious famine. Millions of people died because they had no food. As an agronomy (农学)teacher, Yuan was very sad to see this. “How can I help them have enough food?” he thought. He decided to work on a kind of hybrid rice (杂交水稻). It has high output.At that time, other scientists didn t think hybrid rice had much value. But Yuan and his team worked on it every day. They took very good care of their rice seeds.At last, in 1973, they grew a new type of hybrid rice. This rice is strong. Farmers can grow it in many different kinds of farmland and also in bad weather. It can fight disease, too. Its output is much greater than common kinds of rice. With the new type, about 70,000,000 people could have food every year!Y uan solved the food problem in China. But he is still working on rice. Before he retires, he hopes to grow rice in the sea!()1.

Many pieces of pottery in different sizes were shown at the school. Some were a bit broken, but all of them were beautiful works of art created by the students.At the end of last year, the school started a project that called on teachers to collect disused pieces of pottery which people don't want them anymore or broken pieces of pottery from the countryside. So far, they have collected about 3,000 pieces.“Pottery used to play an important role in the daily lives of Chinese people.” school head Ma Guoxin told the reporter. “By pottery painting, the students can improve themselves in many ways. They can better understand the history of the pottery, put their creativity into the pottery and show the love for life and beauty.”Students turned the pottery into different works of art. They were all encouraged to paint pictures on the pottery, even though some students didn't know how to paint. Wang Zixuan, a student from Grade Eight, with little knowledge of painting, painted a beautiful night scenery on a piece of pottery. It was so nice that many students loved it.Almost every classroom has colored pieces of pottery. They are either used as flowerpots or pen containers (笔筒). The school has also set up several art corners to show the pottery. For example, the students have put some pottery on bookcases outside of a lecture hall(报告厅). It has become an enjoyable place for students to rest and read.()1. The school started the project of the pottery ________.A. at the beginning of 2018B. at the end of 2018C. at the beginning of 2019D. at the end of 2019()2.

We can't find any colored pottery in their classrooms.D. The students enjoy resting and reading at the art corners.()5. In which part of a newspaper can we read the passage?A. Sports news.B. Traditional art.C. Healthy living.D. Popular music.6Some researchers explain how most people form their social groups with people of their age. Especially, as children and teenagers, even adults, people make their friends basedon distance more than anything else. Even in a classroom, the students may not make friends with those who have similar personalities(性格) and interests. It's the people they really sit next to. Clearly, who stands nearest to you has the greatest influence on you.Over the past ten months, I've paid Ryan, a famous writer of several bestselling books, to help me with the book I'm writing. Working with him has shown me just how low my standards for my work are. For example, every time I send him a draft(草稿), he shows me how it could be much better, and he holds me to that standard.It's not that my working ability was born low. It's because that I don't know what I don't know. Working with Ryan has made me realize what is possible and what it takes to create something powerful.Like Ryan, my business partner Richard has wonderful ideas and far different experience than I have. He has written 36 New York Times Bestsellers. Richard always performs at high levels, and he is also very strict with me because my performance is a reflection(反映) on him. It's not a bad thing because it creates high pressure to help me make great progress and push me to learn more.In a word, you need to stay with those people who can help you realize your level and potential(潜力). Staying with people who have higher standards is the fastest way for you to change. If you don't change your environment, your progress will be very slow. Who you stay with has huge importance.()1.

Where does the passage probably come from?A. A magazine.B. A travel guide.C. A storybook.D. A cooking instruction.7For his eleventh birthday, Lin was given a gift that would change his life. On that day his father took him to the Children's Activity Centre and said he could choose any course that interested him. There was just one requirement (要求): Lin have to promise to study it for at least one year.Lin used to have many hobbies, but he never kept his interest for more than a week or two.Lin looked at all the courses on offer. He stopped at “Photography”. He liked the idea of taking beautiful pictures but the notice said that each student needed their own camera. But a camera cost a lot of money. He continued looking.Then the next course caught his eyes. “Cooking” sounded like something he'd like to do. It was inexpensive and convenient, it could be done alone and it was also creative.His dad had doubts, but he agreed. To his parents' surprise, Lin kept his promise. He studied cooking at the Centre every Saturday, and practised at home, making delicious meals for his family. Everyone looked forward to birthdays, when they could eat his cakes. Lin got greatsatisfaction from the pleasure his food brought to others.The months turned to years but his hobby never changed again.Now Lin is an adult and runs a successful restaurant.()1.

The Fun of CookingD. The Birthday Gift8David walked down the street. All he wanted to do was to play basketball with Jim. But his mother told him to return his sister's books to the library on his way to Jim's house.In his eyes, books and summertime just don't go together. He thought he had read a lot during the school year. And he had never set foot inside a public library. Today he'd just drop the books off in the outside return box, but it was locked. He had to go inside to return them.David walked inside the building a few minutes before closing time. He put the books into the return box. After a quick drink of water and a short stop in the toilet, he'd be on his way to meet Jim. He walked out of the toilet. The library lights were turned off. He was locked—in a library!David tried to use the telephone, but he couldn't find one. As the sun began to set, he searched for a light and found a little one on a desk. He used a pencil to write a note on a big piece of paper. It read, “I'm locked inside. Please call for help.” He put it on the front door. Surely, someone passing by would see it. He then turned his attention to the library itself.He was surprised to discover that this place was not so bad. Rows and rows of books! When he saw a book about Michael Jordan on the desk, he picked it up. He opened the book and began to read. He felt that being locked in the library didn't seem to be such a terrible thing.()1. David's mother wanted him to ________.A. play basketball with JimB. take a walk in the streetC. read books in the libraryD. return his sister's books()2. David thought he had read a lot during ________.A. a visit to Jim'sB. the school yearC. the closing timeD. the summertime()3. David went inside the building because ________.A. the sun began to setB. he wanted to use the telephoneC. he needed to go to the toiletD. the outside return box was locked()4. Which of the following is true about the library EXCEPT ________.A. the library is open during summertimeB. there is a return box in the library for people to return booksC. there are very few books in the libraryD. the library is on the way to Jim’s house()5. David discovered that ________ after he was locked in the library.A. he was very afraid of the darkB. he became interested in this placeC. his mom was worried about himD. his friend became nervous about him9Is there a connection between music and language?According to recent studies, the answer is yes: Music improves certain language abilities in the brain. Here, let's look at two examples.A recent study by researcher Kraus shows that playing a musical instrument can improve a person’s hearing ability. In his study, two groups of people listened to a person talking in a noisy room.The people in the first group were musicians, while those in the second group had no musical training. The musicians were able to hear the talking person more clearly. Musicians hear better because they learn to pay attention to certain sounds. Think about violinists in an orchestra. When the violinists play with the group, they hear their own instrument and many others, too. But the violinists must listen closely to what they are playing, and pay no attention to the other sounds. In this way, musicians are able to focus on certain sounds, even in a room with lots of noise.Schlaug, a doctor at Harvard Medical School, works with stroke (中风) patients. Because of their illness, these people cannot say their names, addresses, or other information normally. However, they can still sing. Schlaug was surprised to find that singing words helped his patients to speak. Why does this work? Schlaug isn't sure. Music seems to make different parts of the brain work, including the broken parts. This might help patients to use that part of the brain again. Music improves attention, memory, listening skills, and our overall language abilities. It can even help sick people get better.Playing an instrument or singing can help us do better in school and keep our brain sharp (敏锐的) as we get older. Music is not only enjoyable, it's also good for us in many other ways.()1. ________ ability can be improved according to Kraus's recent study.A. SpeakingB. HearingC. TeachingD. Singing()2. The example of the violinists is shown to tell us that ________.A. violinists always focus on what they are playingB. speaking is more important than hearingC. music teaches the violinist how to singD. playing an instrument can help us be a better man()3. The underlined word “orchestra”means ______.A. 摇滚乐队B. 交响乐团C. 音乐俱乐部D. 故事会()4. Which of the following is TRUE?A. Music can't make different brain parts work.B. Music can never help sick people get better.C. Playing an instrument can help us do better in study.D. Singing words helped patients to dance.()5. The best title for this passage would be ________.A. The Meaning of MusicB. The Love for Music InstrumentC. Music can Make a DifferenceD. Music and Noise10()1. The fairs and festivals take place in ________.A. the USAB. ChinaC. BritainD. Italy()2.

But a special group of Chinese middle school students decided to taste the hardship of life outside school.Twelve students in a big city sold vegetables at a local market together. Within 12 days, they made more than 1,500 yuan. Among them, the oldest is 21 years old, while the youngest is just 10. They are all cousins in a big family and eight of them are from rural areas.“Compared to traveling, such social practice connects us and makes us learn how tough our parents are,” said Dalin,18, to the City Morning Post. Dalin, a senior high graduate, and her 12-year-old brother Xiaolin came up with the idea.They learned to work hard to sell their veggies. Every morning they had to wake up at 3 o'clock. Some of them went to the farmer's market to buy vegetables. Some of them went to the local market to take up a temporary stall (临时摊位). To lower the cost, they learned to bargain (讲价)with the sellers.At about 6:30 am, they began to sell vegetables. They peddled (吆喝) loudly to attract(吸引)customers. After several days, they got some experience, too.For example, it was better to put vegetables in order and bigger ones on top. When the vegetables are too heavy, they should give customers an extra plastic bag.When they finally packed up and went home, they had a small meeting. Everyone took notes and shared their feelings.“We are tired,” said Dalin, “but we gained a lot.”()1. In the writer's opinion, the 12 students' action was ________.A. popularB. encouragingC. strangeD. embarrassing()2. The cousins decided to sell vegetables at a market to ________.A. show how able they wereB. have less hardship of lifeC. learn how hard their parents workD. prepare for their future traveling()3.

It's clear that ________.A. they took up the temporary stall in turnB. they gave each customer an extra plastic bagC. Dalin and Xiaolin got the idea of selling vegetablesD. the elder sold vegetables when the younger took notes()5. The best tile of the story should be ________.A. Summer CoursesB. Family BusinessC. Students Learn from BargainsD. Cousins Work with Vegetables12Buying Is Doing?How important is shopping to you? How much time do you spend buying things? And how much time do you spend organizing these things in your home? In the future, how much time will you spend in movie theaters, at amusement parks, at shopping malls, or at convenience stores? When you add it all up, you will probably see you spend a lot of your life consuming(消费)things. Consuming products is not necessarily bad. However, if we spend too much time doing it, we should look at it carefully.Imagine that you have a week off from school. You don't have to go to class. However, in this week, you cannot spend any money—no shopping, no movies, no eating out. How would you spend your time?What things would bring you happiness? Perhaps you would take a walk with your best friend. Perhaps you would help a child read. Or you might spend time with your family.When we look back, it is likely that non-consuming experiences like these will be our most important memories. Why? Non-consuming activities are active, not passive. They don't come in a package. You make the experience yourself. For example, when you have a conversation with a friend, you are actively creating an experience. The conversation that you have with your friend cannot be experienced or recreated by anyone else. However, if you watch a movie with a friend, you will each have a package experience. It requires no action and little interaction between the two of you.The environment we live in encourages us to have packaged experiences. We feel that we must consume because we believe that buying is doing. However, we can start a personal revolution (变革) against consumerism. How? By consuming less. We can ask ourselves what experiences bring us the greatest satisfaction. Then we can organize our lives so that we have more of those kinds of experiences.()1. If consuming products takes too much time, we should ________.A. spend less moneyB. think about it carefullyC. organize our thingsD. go to convenience stores()2. The Chinese meaning of “passive”in the fourth paragraph is ________.A. 主动的B. 快乐的C. 消极的D. 盲目的()3. The underlined word “It”in Paragraph 4 is about ________.A. shoppingB. reading a bookC. talking with friendsD. watching a movie()4. According to the passage, the writer believes that ________.A. we can say no to consumerism by consuming lessB. buying things can bring us the greatest satisfactionC. the environment seldom influences our shopping choicesD. consuming experiences will be our most important memories ()5. What is the writer's main purpose in writing this passage?A. To introduce some ways of enjoying our spare time.B. To encourage people to have more active experiences.C. To explain reasons behind people's shopping behavior.D. To share his personal experience in consuming products.11-5CDCAB21-5ADCAB31-5CCBDB41-5BBCAD51-5BCADB61-5CBDCA71-5AABAD81-5DBDCB91-5BABCC101-5ADBDB 111-5BCACD 121-5BCDAB。

2020广东省中考英语专题训练阅读理解一Would you like to live in a city where buildings turn the lights off for you, and self-driving cars will find the nearest parking space themselves? Although it might sound a little far from you, living in a “smart” city like this could happen sooner than you think.Great changes have taken place in towns that we have lived in for centuries, while completely new cities are being built. One such place is the city of Songdo. Every home there will have a “telepresence” system (远程遥控系统)—allowing users to control the heating and looks, take part in video meetings, and receive education, health care and government services. Around the city, escalators (自动扶梯) will only move when someone is on them, and offices and schools will all be connected to the system.The great mind behind Songdo is from the company Cisco. In fact, technology companies around the world such as IBM, Siemens and Microsoft are already in the business.About 75% of the world's population will live in cities by 2050, so cities will need to be more modern to deal with the coming problems. “Making cities smarter is one way out, and I think this will in turn make cities greener,” said Dan Hill, head of a research company.()1. According to the text, living in a“smart”city ____.A. is not a green wayB. will be far from youC. will soon become trueD. is completely impossible()2. Paragraph 2 is mainly about ____.A. a city of the futureB. a meeting in SongdoC. a plan to build a houseD. a report on public health()3. Which company offers the great mind to build Songdo?A. Cisco.B. IBM.C. Siemens.D. Microsoft.()4. Dan Hill thinks that making cities smarter is one way to ____.A. drive people out of citiesB. control the world's populationC. develop his own companyD. solve the cities' coming problems()5. Which of the following might be the best title for the passage?A. Future EducationB. Smart CitiesC. Government ServicesD. Famous Companies二A new kind of burger is now popular in the United States.

To tell people how to make lab-grown meat.D. To show why people should eat less meat.三People from north China are different from people in south China in many ways. For example, most people in the north tend (倾向) to prefer to eat meat, while southerners prefer vegetables. But where do these differences come from?A study of over 140,000 Chinese people has shown that genetics (遗传学) might hold the answer. Scientists from BGI-Shenzhen, a gene study center in China, found that six genes can cause genetic differences between people from different parts of China. This is a result of natural choice, which leads to different eating habits.According to the study, more people from north China carry the FADS2 gene than those fromsouth China. This gene helps to metabolize (代谢) fat in the human body. Therefore, people from north China are better able to digest (消化) meat and fat. This helps them live more easily in northern areas where there is more meat and fewer vegetables.Moreover, the study also showed that people from the south are more immune (有免疫力的) to certain illnesses than people from the north. For example, malaria (疟疾) was once widespread in some parts of south China. So people’s genes changed so that they could better resist the illness. However, there are also downsides. People from the south are more likely to have a certain kind of blood illness. The gene G6PD, which causes this illness, is more common in people from the south than those from the north. It seems that nature has a way of balancing itself out.()1. ______ cause people to have different eating habits.A. Their genesB. The weatherC. The food they growD. The houses they live()2. According to the passage, FADS2 ______.A. helps people put on weightB. helps people digest meatC. can help people live longerD. can cause a blood illness()3. From the passage, we know that people from the south ____.A. don't carry the gene G6PDB. are more immune to malariaC. are less likely to get blood illnessesD. have more healthy eating habits()4. The underlined word “resist” might mean ____ in Chinese.A. 抵抗B. 治疗C. 研究D. 传播()5. The passage mainly talks about ____.A. why Chinese people prefer to eat meatB. how people have different ways of digesting foodC. how genes can influence our habits and preferencesD. the progress Chinese scientists have made in studying genetics四Have you ever tried 3-D printing? A team of seven students from No. 34 Middle School in Zhengzhou, Henan, have won awards for their creative 3-D printing works. Two of the team's works took the top prize at the International Youth Innovation Design Competition, which was held in France this summer. One of their works had the theme “China's New Era (时代)”. The other work was an ancient Chinese palace, which they sent as a gift to local officials in Lille, France.The team members learned how to print in their school's 3-D printing club. They took classes twice a week to learn 3-D printing. To make 3-D-printed items, they first draw a blueprint. Then, they use a computer to design models of the pieces they need. After that, they use a 3-D printer to print the pieces and put them together.But knowing how to use the tools is just one part of mastering 3-D printing. One also has to have imagination. To show the theme “China's New Era”, they printed out items(项目) representing(代表) high-speed trains, bike sharing, cashless payment and online shopping. They placed these items around a dragon, which represented China. They made this work within just three hours, winning a national 3-D printing competition in China and later the international competition.When they got to the international competition, they wanted to present something that represented traditional Chinese culture. They were inspired(得到灵感) by a trip to the Palace Museum. “When we saw the buildings there, we thought ‘that's it'!” said Zhang Jiuxing, 14. They took photos of the buildings and did a lot of research to make their 3-D-printed works more realistic. The students will continue to learn about this technology and make more creative things.()1. Where have the students won the prize at the International Youth Innovation Design Competition?A. In Zhengzhou.B. In Henan.C. In France.D. In China.()2. The underlined word “blueprint” in Paragraph 2 means ___.A. 油画B. 蓝图C. 打印机D. 蓝牙()3. Paragraph 3 mainly talks about ____.A. the importance of tools in 3-D printing competitionB. the importance of creation in 3-D printing competitionC. the importance of imagination in daily lifeD. the importance of competition in daily life()4. What did they do to represent Chinese culture in the international competition?A. They had a trip to the Palace Museum.B. They took photos and did a lot of research.C. They made more creative things.D. They made an ancient Chinese palace.()5. Where can we read this passage?A. In a newspaper.B. In a novel.C. In a notice.D.

However, many of our animal friends may not be around for much longer.According to the Living Planet Report released by the World Wildlife Fund(WWF)in October, populations of several animals, including mammals(哺乳动物), birds and fish, had fallen by about 60 percent since 1970.As the report said, one of the biggest causes of wildlife loss is human activity. Three quarters of the world’s land has been affected by human activity. Many natural habitats have been destroyed to create farmland.About 300 mammal species(种类)are dying out because humans are over-eating them. Another example is the industrial over-fishing of the oceans, The Guardian noted.The challenge we face is to find ways to meet the needs of our growing population whileprotecting the environment, the WWF said. It has called on world governments and businesses to make efforts together to protect people and nature.The situation in China is not positive, either. According to a report by China Daily in November, Chinese paddlefish (白鲟) may be dying out. And there are now less than 500 green peafowl (孔雀) in the wild, CCTV reported in June.To protect endangered animals, measures have been taken in China and progress has been made. For example, China has banned(禁止)the use of rhino horn (犀牛角) and tiger bones, as well as banned ivory trading, China Daily reported. It has also held some activities to increase public awareness(意识).()1. What do we know from the Living Planet Report?A. Animals are destroying natural habitats.B. The human population is increasing.C. Many animal species are dying out.D. Humans and animals are equal in terms of their population.()2. According to the passage, what leads to wildlife loss?①creating farmland①over-eating of mammals①air pollution①industrial over-fishingA. ①①①B. ①①①C. ①①①D. ①①①()3. The underlined word “It” in Paragraph 5 is about ____.A. the governmentB. the populationC. the environmentD. the challenge()4. The Chinese meaning of “positive” in Paragraph 6 is____.A. 乐观的B. 积极的C. 严峻的D. 糟糕的()5. Paragraph 7 was written to show ____.A. which animal species are endangered in ChinaB. how Chinese people deal with environmental problemsC. how to increase public awareness to protect animalsD. what efforts China has made to protect endangered animals十If you skip a meal, do you ever notice yourself starting to get angry or annoyed very easily? Well, this is often known as being “hangry” or being angry because you are very hungry.But as it turns out, it's not just a funny phrase, but it is scientifically true! Scientists found this feeling of anger usually comes from having low glucose(葡萄糖)levels in the blood. Glucose is put into the body after you eat.The brain also needs this to work correctly. When the body is low in glucose, the brain sends hormones(激素)to increase the amount of glucose in the body. Brenda Bustillos, a dietitian (营养学家) at Texas A & M University, the US, said, “Hunger leads to high stress hormones, which makes it hard to control our emotions.”The brain even starts to feel like you are dealing with a life-threatening(威胁生命的)situation if you don't get enough glucose. Another problem is that the brain will also use neuropeptide (神经肽) to send a message saying you should eat. But this is the same chemical that manages anger.Amanda Salis, PhD, University of Sydney, says that we may also be able to thank our ancestors for our hanger. Salis says that long ago when there was not much food, people had to be aggressive to eat as much as they could to get enough food to live. So even now when most people have enough food to eat, there is still that aggressive feeling toward needing food.()1. If you are“hangry”, you ____.A. get hungry because you are angryB. get hungry easily when you are tiredC. get angry because you are hungryD. get angry easily when you are tired()2. According to the scientists, the feeling of anger usually results from ____.A. low glucose levelsB. high blood pressureC. low hormonesD. controllable emotions()3. The underlined word “aggressive” in Paragraph 5 means ___.A. 爱吵闹的B. 有闯劲的C. 善战的D. 有见地的()4. From the passage, we can learn that neuropeptide ____.A. is a chemical that sends a message saying we are fullB. is a stress hormone that controls our emotionsC. is a chemical that helps us deal with hard situationsD. is a chemical that manages our anger()5. The passage is mainly talking about ____.A. the reasons for being angryB. the results of staying hungryC. the ways to control our emotionsD. the relationship between anger and hunger十一十二十三For a long time, a couple of Chinese parents were allowed to have only one child in order to control China's population. However, after China's two-child policy came out, the number of newly-born babies didn't rise rapidly as some experts expected.The same situation does not happen only in China, but also in other countries. There has been a remarkable global decline in the number of children women are having, according to a study published in The Lancet. The study looked at birth trends in several countries from 1950 to 2017.In 1950, women had an average of 4.7 children in their lifetime. The number was 2.4 children per woman in 2017. The researchers said that the findings were a “huge surprise”. This means that nearly half of the countries they looked at are now facing a “baby bust (婴儿荒)”. There are not enough children to maintain (保持) the countries’ population size, according to a report published by the BBC.“As women have gotten more educated and participated more in the workplace, many women prefer to have fewer children. So there is no surprise that fertility has come down tremendously (非常地),” said study author Christopher Murray. “And it comes down faster in younger women.”Getting married later in life is another factor. “The age at which women are getting married is increasing,” James Kiarie, coordinator for the World Health Organization, told CNN.()1. Before the two-child policy, a couple of Chinese parents were allowed to have ____.A. one childB. two childrenC. three childrenD. four children()2. According to The Lancet, the study shows that ____.A. more women prefer to have fewer childrenB. more women don’t want to get marriedC. more women decide to give up workingD. more women want to make lots of money()3. Which of the following is NOT a reason for the “baby bust”?A. Women get more educated.B. Women prefer to get married later.C. Women want to have more free time.D. Women participate more in the workplace.()4. The underlined word “fertility” probably means ____ in Chinese.A. 失业率B. 离婚率C. 犯罪率D. 生育率()5. What's the main idea of the passage?A. China has a new policy.B. Many countries face the “baby bust”.C. There is a remarkable decline in the world's population.D. A magazine published a study on the world's population.十四When throwing away waste, do you know which bin it should go in? Have you ever noticed the differently-colored bins on the street? Some of you might not be able to answer these questions. However, it's actually quite important to know how to sort (将……分类) your waste.If you don't sort your waste, all of it will go to a landfill (垃圾填埋场) and be buried together. These landfills can take up large areas of ground that could have been used for planting trees or crops. The electronic waste you throw away, such as batteries (电池), can pollute the soil and groundwater. Other waste, like the metal part of a pen, can be used to make other things if they are properly recycled.With this in mind, many cities in China have been running waste-sorting activities. For example, Shanghai announced in July that within three years, all the people in Shanghai should sort their waste into four groups: wet, recyclable, harmful and dry.Wet waste is also known as household waste. They are things that you don't want but pigs can eat. Paper, metal, glass and other things that can be reused are recyclable waste. Harmful waste includes things like medicine and batteries. Finally, any waste that's not wet, recyclable or harmful will go into the “dry waste” bin.Many other Chinese cities plan to use this method too. Now that you know this, perhaps you can do your part to protect the environment and encourage others to sort their waste.()1. The underlined word “buried” probably means ____ in Chinese.A. 掩埋B. 焚烧C. 分拣D. 清洗()2. What will probably happen if we don’t sort our waste according to the passage?①Some waste will hurt animals.①It will waste some useful things.①Some waste will pollute the soil and groundwater.①It will waste areas of ground to deal with the waste.A. ①①①B. ①①①C. ①①①D. ①①①①()3. From the passage we know wet waste refers to the things ____.A. that can be reusedB. that are sent to a landfillC. that we don't want but pigs can eatD. that are harmful to the environment()4. Recyclable waste includes the following things EXCEPT ____.A. paperB. metalC. glassD. medicine()5. What does the author mainly want to tell us?A. We should avoid wasting things.B. We should learn to sort our waste.C. We should protect groundwater.D. We should support waste-sorting activities.答案一CAADB二DCDAB三ABBAC四CBBDA五FEDAB六BCEFA七CDBDC八BCCBA九CBDAD十CABDD十一DBEGA十二DCFEG十三AACDB十四ACCDB21。

广东中考英语阅读理解习题(一)During all this time I never stopped thinking about escape. When I traveled across to the other side of the island, I could see the other islands, and I said to myself, “Perhaps I can get there with a boat. Perhaps I can get back to England one day.”So I decided to make myself a boat. I cut down a big tree, and then began to make a long hole in it. It was hard work, but about six months later, I had a very fine canoe (独木舟). Next, I had to get it down to the sea. How silly I was! Why didn't I think before I began work? Of course, the canoe was too heavy. I couldn't move it! I pulled and pushed and tried everything, but it didn't move. I was very unhappy for a long time after that.That happened in my fourth year on the island. In my sixth1/ 6year I did make myself a smaller canoe, but I did not try to escapein it. The boat was too small for a long journey, and I did not want to die at sea. The island was my home now, not my prison, and I was just happy to be alive. A year or two later, I made myself a second canoe on the other side of the island. I also built myself a second house there, and so I had two homes.My life was still busy from mo rning to night. There were always things to do or to make. I learnt to make new clothes for myself from the skins of dead animals. They looked very strange, it is true, but they kept me dry in the rain.I kept food and tools at both my houses, and also wild goats. There were many goats on the island, and I made fields with high fences to keep them in. They learnt to take food from me, and soon I had goats' milk to drink every day. I also worked hard in my corn (玉米) fields. And so many years went by.1.

Several days after a 8.9-magnitude earthquake and resulting 10-meter-high tsunami devastated the coastline. The United States Geological Survey says it was the fifth largest earthquake since 1900. The largest, with a 9.5 magnitude, shook Chile(智利) in 1960.In Japan, the tsunami swept away boats, cars and hundreds of houses in coastal areas north of Tokyo. The quake shook buildings in the Japanese capital and caused several fires. All train and subway traffic in Tokyo has been stopped, and thousands of people there were unable to get back home. People are just trying to find clean water. Food supplies are running out. In the convenience stores, there are no rice balls left. There is no bottled water left. People are facing a really serious situation in the days ahead for these people that are living in areas that were only moderately(普通的) damaged.

2020年广东中考英语阅读理解B篇专练从每小题所给的四个选项中，选出能回答所提问题或完成所给句子的最佳答案。

（一）English has become a language that is most widely used in the world. So which country, not including English-speaking countries, speaks English best? And where does China rank （排名）？Swedish language education company EF published their 2017 English Proficiency Index （熟练度指标）.The Netherlands ranked first, followed by Sweden and Denmark. The rankings are based on English reading and listening test results.According to the index, the English proficiency in China is still low, ranking 36th. Out of the whole country, peoplein Shanghai are the best English speakers. They speak better English than Italians and French. Hong Kong and Beijing follow Shanghai as China ' s next best English-speaking cities.“Shanghai and Beijing rank high because they are international cities, " EF senior manager Christopher McCormick said. "However, across China, proficiency in English is different from east to west.”China has 400 million English learners, reported China Daily. However, the teaching of English in some areas is not very good. According to People' s Daily Online, there are seven primary schools in She Tianqiao town in Hunan, but only one English teacher. Many students still learn English by rote memorization .Sebastian Magnusson, an officer at the Swedish embassy （大使馆）in Beijing, gave some advice. Swedish people speak English well and Magnusson himself is also fluent in Chinese. He said TV programs, movies and even computer games could be learning tools. " Do not limit it to textbooks. What matters most is to use what you ' ve learned, " Magnusson said.（）1. ranked first in the 2017 English Proficiency Index.A. SwedenB. The NetherlandsC. DenmarkD. The United Kingdom（）2. The underlined word s “rote memorization " probably mean in the passage.A.死记硬背B.查漏补缺C.联想记忆D.分类记忆）3. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A.Half of the Chinese population is learning English now.B.Chinese people have high English proficiency levels.C.Some Chinese schools are short of English teachers.D.Rote memorization is the best way to learn English.E.)4. From Magnusson ' s words, we can learn that.A.English is difficult for younger students to learnB.learning English from textbooks is not a good methodC.learners should put what they have learned into practiceD.learners should get help from their teachers and parentsE.)5. The passage is mainly about.A.which country speaks English bestB.the English proficiency in ChinaC.the English teachers in ChinaD.the best English speakers in China(二)Body language is the quiet, secret and most powerful language of all! It is said that our body movements communicate about 50 percent of what we really mean while words only express 7 percent. So, while your mouth is closed, your body is just saying …Arms. How you hold your arms shows how open you are to the people you meet. If you keep your arms to the sides of your body or behind your back, this suggests you are not afraid of taking on whatever comes your way. Outgoing people generally use their arms with big movements, while quieter people keep them close to their bodies. If someone upsets you, just cross your arms to show you ' re unhappy!Head. When you want to appear confident, keep your head level. If you are a monitor in class, you can also take on this position when you want your words to be taken seriously. However, to be friendly in listening or speaking, you must move your head a little.Legs. Your legs tend to move around a lot more than normal when you are nervous or telling lies. If you are at interviews, try to keep them still!Posture (姿势). A good posture makes you feel better about yourself. If you are feeling down, you normally don ’ t sit straight. This makes breathing more difficult, which can make you feel nervous or uncomfortable.Mouth. When you are thinking, you often shut your mouth. You might also use this position to hold back an angry comment( 评论)you don ’ t wish to show. However, it will probably still be noticed, and people will know you ’ re not pleased.( )1. When someone is keeping his arms behind his back, he tries to tell you that ________________ .A. he is outgoingB. he is angryC. he is not afraidD. he is cool( )2. The underlined word “ upsets ” probably means _________________ in Chinese.A. 喜爱B. 崇拜C. 讨厌D. 惹恼( )3. If you want to appear confident, you should ____________ .A. move your arms a lotB. keep your head levelC. move your head a littleD. cross your arms behind( )4. _______ tells someone is nervous.A.Shutting your mouthB.Sitting very straightC.Moving your legs around a lotD.Keeping the arms to the sides of the body( )5. Which of the following can be the best title of the passage?A.Body Language and WordsB.Arms Tell More Than LegsC.Facial Expressions Tell the TruthD.Simple Movements Show Your Thoughts（三）Many Chinese people will wonder what presents to get for their moms on Mother ' s Day, but not many know Mother ' s Day is actually a festival from overseas.Mother ' s Day originated（起源）in America during the early 20th century. The festival spread to China as early as the 1980s and was widely accepted.Why did a foreign festival become popular in China? In fact, Chinese traditional culture has always encouraged filial devotion to parents. There are many stories which show filial respect in ancient China.For example, the story of “Taste Liquid（液体的）Medicine for Mother " tells us the filial virtue（美德）of Emperor Wen of the Western Han Dynasty. His mother had been sick for three years. He often stayed up by her bedside and caredfor her day and night. He tasted the liquid medicine first before she drank it. Also, mother ' s love is a repeated subjectin Chinese ancient poems, like Song of the Parting Son by Meng Jiao, a poet of the Tang Dynasty. Now this poem is still a must in the school textbooks. Children in China are brought up with the education of filial devotion.On special days, people often use roses or forget -me-nots to express love. Carnations are considered as the perfect flowers for mothers around the world, but few know that China has its own for mothers —the tiger lily.Love for mothers can have different ways of expression. What matters most is love, not the festival itself. What mothers truly want is perhaps just a simple expression of love from their children.You may find it difficult to make the plan now. Don ' t worry. All you need is just a rough（粗略的）one. Once you enter the senior high school, you ' ll get a chance to make it better with the help of your teachers. And your personal growth plan may change with your age, your interests and the social development. So take your time and I believe you will grow into an excellent young man.Best wishes!Yours,Li Fang ( )1. Mother' s Day spread to China.A. in the 1920sB. in the 1980sC. in the Western Han DynastyD. in the Tang Dynasty( )2. The poem of Song of the Parting Son is mainly about.A. the filial virtue of Emperor WenB. caring for the oldC. traditional Chinese medicineD. a mother' s love for her son( )3.

What a mother truly wants on Mother ' s Day may be.A. a big dinnerB. a celebration partyC. greetings of the festivalD. expensive presents(四)In Britain, Boxing Day is usually celebrated on December 26th, which is the following day after Christmas Day. However, strictly speaking, Boxing Day is the first weekday after Christmas. Like Christmas Day, Boxing Day is a public holiday. That means it -working day in ths whole of Britain. When Boxing Day falls on a Saturday or Sunday, the following Monday is the public holiday.The exact origin (起源)of the holiday is unclear. One of the thoughts is that during the Middle Ages, when great sailing ships were setting off to discover new land, a Christmas box was placed by a priest ( 神父)on each ship. Those sailors who wanted to ensure a safe return would drop money into the box. It was sealed and kept on board until the ship came home safely. Then the box was handed over to the priest in exchange for the saying of thanks for the success of the sailing. The priest wouldn ’ t open it to share the contents with the poor until Christmas.One more thought is about the “ Alms Box” placed in every church on Christmas Day. Worshippers ( 做礼拜的人)put gifts for the poor into it. These boxes were always opened the dayafter Christmas. That is why that day became known as Boxing Day.Today, many companies, organizations and families try to keep the traditional spirit of Boxing Day alive by donating ( 捐赠)their time, services and money to food banks, providing gifts for the poor, or helping families in need. Besides, spending time with family and shopping are popular Boxing Day activities now.( )1 . If Christmas Day is on a Saturday, Boxing Day will be celebrated on _______________ .A. December 25thB. December 26thC. December 27thD. December 28th( )2. Sailors dropped money into the Christmas box in order to _______________ .A. save the poorB. pray for the priestC. discover new landD. pray for sailing safely( )3.

The railway would carry coal（煤炭）for James Clifford from his mines, and would push others like Huntington Beaumont to create his own railway, which was able to pull 280 — 330 pounds of coal with a single horse. These rails continued through the 18th century, and would become more common as the years went on.Steam power created the first train, and thus the modern railroad was born in 1784. James Watt, who was a Scottish inventor, made improvements to Thomas Newcomen ' s steam engine, which was used to move water out of mine. With these improvements, he could create smaller and smaller engines, finally patenting（申请专禾U ）the design for the steam locomotive （机车）in 1784. The first working railway steam locomotive was made in the United Kingdom by Richard Trevithick in 1804. The world ' s first railway journey took place on February 21st, 1804.In 1812 Matthew Murray created the first rack（齿轨）railway which was able to hold a train, and was followed in 1813 by Puffing Billy, made by Christopher Blackett and William Hedley and these were the first financially（经济上）successful trains.

Are you different because you are the first, second, or third child in your family - or maybe the last of nine?A study showed that first -borns have an average（平均的）IQ that is three points higher than people who fall into a different place in the birth order, perhaps because first -borns often help younger brothers and sisters, which improves their own skills. In 2007, an international organization of CEOs found that 43% of them are first -borns, 33% are middle children, and 23% are last-borns. First-borns are more likely（可能的）to be doctors and engineers and get higher pay.If first-borns are more successful, last -borns are generally more friendly. They are also more likely to be funny, possibly to get attention from all the bigger people at the dinner table. Mark Twain and Stephen Colbert were both the youngest in large families, and Jim Carrey was the youngest of four. According to a 2007 Time magazine article, “The Power of Birth Order", last-borns are more likely to be artists and successful businessmen.Then there are the middle children. Many middle children experience less one -on-one（一对——）time with their parents. They often feel short -changed: The oldest gets more rights, and the youngest is “spoiled （宠坏的）”.Though they may be ignored（忽视）,middle children are more likely to grow into outgoing adults.Many factors（因素）make us who we are, but if the research is correct, birth order may be one of the most important factors.（）1. is most likely to be a CEO.A.
