AMr. Smith is fifty years old. He began to teach in a middle school twenty-six years ago. He works hard and always comes to his office on time. He expects his students to be honest and is strict with them. Some of his students become famous people, but they still remember him and often write to him. Of course the old man is proud of it.This term he began to teach Grade One. Some of the new students were told about him, but the others didn't know him well. He told them how to be an honest person. He gave them several examples and said, “I hate telling a lie most.”Before class was over, he told all his students to finish Exercise 8 in Unit 1. The next morning, as soon as he came into the classroom, he asked, “Who's finished Exercise 8？”A few students put up their hands. He shook his head and said，“Open your workbooks and see whether there's Exercise 8 in Unit 1 or not？”The students had a look at their workbooks and their faces turned red at once.1．How long has Mr.Smith taught in the middle school?A.

The butterfly tries to get out of its chrysalis (蛹). Feeling sorry for it, the man decides to help. He cuts the chrysalis and the butterfly comes out easily. Surprisingly enough, the butterfly is unable to fly. If the butterfly doesn't struggle (挣扎；奋斗) to leave the chrysalis, it can't fly! The struggle develops the energy in the butterfly which makes it fly. Similarly, the challenges of life bring out the best in young people and make them fly.When people are young, meeting and overcoming challenges will make them strong and ready to face life. When we look at successful people, we see that the most successful of them are people who have had to struggle. One famous businessman, who now owns many big supermarkets, used to carry clothes on his back and sell them from door to door when he was young. Another successful man is Dennis. His father died when he was only twenty. His father'sdeath forced him to mature fast. He had to bring up a family of nine people. He took up the challenges and overcame them. Today his brothers and sisters are leading successful lives.Sometimes challenges do not appear to us because we keep away from them. So some parents and teachers actively encourage young people to face challenges. They might organize some activities for young people which provide them with challenges, like rock-climbing, camping, volunteer work and so on. However, just passing exams will not prepare a person for life. We must meet and overcome challenges. The young people of today will become the leaders of tomorrow. For countries to continue to become successful, it is important that the young people learn to meet challenges and overcome them.6．From the story we know that the butterfly can't fly because ________．A. it gets out by itselfB. the man feels sorry for itC. it tries to challenge itselfD. the man helps it come out7．Dennis's example shows that successful people should________．A. overcome the difficultiesB. take up business earlyC. become the leaders of tomorrowD. sell clothes from door to door8．The meaning of the underlined word “mature” in the passage is “________”．A. wake upB. give upC. grow upD. bring up9．What is the writer trying to do in this passage?A.

Countries Should Continue to Become SuccessfulD. Challenges of Life Bring Out the Best in Young PeopleCChildren with no shoes on do better at school than those with shoes on, a study suggests.For over 10 years, researchers from universities observed (观察) children in 100 schools from 25 countries. They found that classrooms were quieter when children took off their shoes. It provided a quieter environment where pupils were more willing to focus on study than those with shoes on.“Children are much more willing to sit on the floor and relax if they have no shoes on, ” said professor Stephen Heppel, a lead researcher.“The last place a child would sit to read is an upright chair. And we've found that 95% of them really don't read on a chair at home, ” Heppel added, “When they go on holidays, they read lying down.”Professor Heppel hopes to bring the “shoeless policy” to all the U.K. schools. He saysrelaxing conditions at school make children feel as if they're at home. He believes all the teachers will be glad to adopt the habit.11．The best title to describe the main idea of the passage is“________”．A. Suggestions on shoeless childrenB. Suggestions on children with shoes onC. Shoeless children do better at schoolD. Shoeless children look cool at school12．According to the passage, we know that the study was made by ________.A. some university studentsB. children from 25 countriesC. teachers in 100 schoolsD. researchers from universities13．Which of the following pie charts(图表) () can explain Heppel's discovery?14．Heppel thinks shoeless policy can provide children with ________.A. quiet activitiesB. relaxing conditionsC. some upright chairsD. a safe environment15．What does the underlined word “adopt” mean in the passage?A. acceptB. refuseC. change D．throwDThink of a simple object — a piece of chalk, for example. Are you remembering its name, its shape, its color or its size? Are you remembering what it is used for, or the sound it makes when the teacher writes on the blackboard? Scientists say that memory includes different parts of the brain, such as language and the ability of sense. They believe that you begin to create a memory when you notice something with your senses. Then messages are sent to different brain cells, which join together to form connections. A new connection goes into your short-term memory. It is stored there for about 30 seconds, and then it is either lost or stored in your long-term memory.Having a good memory means making lots of connections and storing them in yourlong-term memory. To do this, you need to keep your brain in good shape. Eat plenty of brain food such as fish oil, fruit and vegetables. Laughter also makes your brain more active. Also, don't forget to exercise. So do some sports or just move around a lot in the house. Finally, get plenty of sleep. This will make your memories grow stronger.When you want to remember new information, you must pay special attention. Use your senses—sight, smell, hearing and touch—and keep repeating the information. To do well in your exams this year, turn off the TV, silence your mobile, and review your work regularly. To remember something special, use your imagination to create visual (视觉的) connections. For example, you need to take a pencil, an eraser, your ID card and chips to your next exam. Imagine the ID card as the body of an animal, the pencil its long neck, and the eraser its head. Your animal is hungry, so now imagine it eating a bag of chips. It may sound crazy, but it's fun and it works.Another way is to do something different to your room. Turn a picture upside-down, or tie a sock around the door handle to remind (提醒) yourself of something to remember!16．At the beginning, the writer gives an example to ________．A. lead in the topic of the articleB. show the importance of chalkC. let readers remember the wordD. make readers know his favorite17．How many ways are mentioned to have a good memory in Paragraph 2?A. 2.B. 3.C. 4.D. 5.18．The main idea of the third paragraph is ________.A. how to do well in examsB. how to remember new informationC. why to review our workD. what to eat to make memories stronger19．Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A. Memory has nothing to do with languages.B. Laughter can help to improve our memory.C. A picture of eating chips is the most useful.D. Our brain is different to keep in good shape.EThe Silk Road is the name of different roads that long ago connected Europe, Africa and Asia. People reached these different places along these roads. Scientists believe people began to travel the Silk Road about 3，000 years ago. By the time the Chinese silk trade became important in the world, the Silk Road covered almost 6，500 kilometers. It went from Rome to China, which is from the West to the Far East.Merchants travelled along the Silk Road to carry silk, of course. They also carried and traded other things like spices (香料), cloth, jewels and gold.Along and around these ancient paths (小路), have come many fascinating and mysterious stories.It is said that Roman soldiers who lost a war travelled through central Asia. They decided to live somewhere near the ancient Chinese villages. Some of these Romans married local Chinese women and the legend of the blond-haired, blue-eyed tribes of China was started.Some historians believe that the people of Kashmir were taken away from their country Israel. They were prisoners (俘虏) of war about 2，800 years ago. People say that these people travelled along the Silk Road. They kept their Jewish way of life for a long time.During its busiest period, the Silk Road allowed people from many different cultures and countries to meet each other and mix. The Silk Road allowed the sharing of valuable things and new ideas. It included people and trading goods from different areas. All these peoples travelled the Silk Road, and they shared goods, stories, languages, and cultures.In modern times, the old Silk Road routes (路线) are still used, but now they are crossed by trains instead of camels and horses. There is even a Silk Route Museum in Jiuquan in China. It has over 35，000 objects from all along the Silk Road. In this way, China protects the history of many countries and peoples.20．It is clear that ________.A. the Silk Road was divided into Europe, Africa and AsiaB.

She had a fight with a group of local people because they made a joke about her while she was eating. Later, they beat her heavily and her face was injured badly, reported CCTV.This made the public very angry. In fact, she is not the first person to be injured at famous scenic spots (景区)in China. Last month, the National Tourism Administration (国家旅游局)gave serious warnings to three national 5A scenic spots. It also asked them to change and improve in six months.The three spots are the Old Town of Lijiang, Jingpo Lake in Mudanjiang, Heilongjiang, and Laohutan Ocean Park in Dalian, Liaoning.

Sometimes lots of activities —even if they’re all fun —can make you feel stressed by keeping you busy all the time. On the other hand, if problems at home are troubling you, in fact some after-school activities may help you relax and feel better.There are also relaxation exercises that you can use to get rid of stress. The easiest one to do is to breathe in slowly and deeply through your nose, and then exhale slowly through your mouth.

To begin with, she spoke too quickly, and I couldn’t understand every word. Later on, I realized that it doesn’t matter if you don’t understand every word.I was afraid to speak in class, because I thought my classmates might laugh at me. I couldn’t always make complete sentences, either. Then I started to watch English-language TV. It helped a lot. I think that doing lots of listening practice is one of the secrets of becoming a good language learner. Another thing that I found very difficult was English grammar. So I decided to take lots of grammar notes in every class. Then I started to write my own original sentences using the grammar I was learning. It’s amazing how much this helped. Now I am enjoying learningEnglish and I got an A this term. My teacher is very impressed.根据短文内容，判断下列各句正误。

A(中考·孝感)Mr. Smith is fifty years old. He began to teach in a middle school twenty-six years ago. He works hard and always comes to his office on time. He expects his students to be honest and is strict with them. Some of his students become famous people, but they still remember him and often write to him. Of course the old man is proud of it.This term he began to teach Grade One. Some of the new students were told about him, but the others didn't know him well. He told them how to be an honest person. He gave them several examples and said, “I hate telling a lie most.”Before class was over, he told all his students to finish Exercise 8 in Unit 1. The next morning, as soon as he came into the classroom, he asked, “Who's finished Exercise 8？”A few students put up their hands. He shook his head and said，“Open your workbooks and see whether there's Exercise 8 in Unit 1 or not？”The students had a look at their workbooks and their faces turned red at once.1．How long has Mr.Smith taught in the middle school?A.

The butterfly tries to get out of its chrysalis (蛹). Feeling sorry for it, the man decides to help. He cuts the chrysalis and the butterfly comes out easily. Surprisingly enough, the butterfly is unable to fly. If the butterfly doesn't struggle (挣扎；奋斗) to leave the chrysalis, it can't fly! The struggle develops the energy in the butterfly which makes it fly. Similarly, the challenges of life bring out the best in young people and make them fly.When people are young, meeting and overcoming challenges will make them strong and ready to face life. When we look at successful people, we see that the most successful of them are people who have had to struggle. One famous businessman, who now owns many bigsupermarkets, used to carry clothes on his back and sell them from door to door when he was young. Another successful man is Dennis. His father died when he was only twenty. His father's death forced him to mature fast. He had to bring up a family of nine people. He took up the challenges and overcame them. Today his brothers and sisters are leading successful lives.Sometimes challenges do not appear to us because we keep away from them. So some parents and teachers actively encourage young people to face challenges. They might organize some activities for young people which provide them with challenges, like rock-climbing, camping, volunteer work and so on. However, just passing exams will not prepare a person for life. We must meet and overcome challenges. The young people of today will become the leaders of tomorrow. For countries to continue to become successful, it is important that the young people learn to meet challenges and overcome them.6．From the story we know that the butterfly can't fly because ________．A. it gets out by itselfB. the man feels sorry for itC. it tries to challenge itselfD. the man helps it come out7．Dennis's example shows that successful people should________．A. overcome the difficultiesB. take up business earlyC. become the leaders of tomorrowD. sell clothes from door to door8．The meaning of the underlined word “mature” in the passage is “________”．A. wake upB. give upC. grow upD. bring up9．What is the writer trying to do in this passage?A. Describe where a butterfly comes from.B. Encourage young people to face challenges.C. Suggest how to become a successful businessman.D. Explain what will happen if a person fails the exam.10．What is the best title for this passage?A. Successful People Have a Sense of AchievementB. Young People Must Develop Their Energy ActivelyC. Countries Should Continue to Become SuccessfulD. Challenges of Life Bring Out the Best in Young PeopleC(中考·沈阳)Children with no shoes on do better at school than those with shoes on, a study suggests.For over 10 years, researchers from universities observed (观察) children in 100 schools from 25 countries. They found that classrooms were quieter when children took off their shoes. It provided a quieter environment where pupils were more willing to focus on study than those with shoes on.“Children are much more willing to sit on the floor and relax if they have no shoes on, ” said professor Stephen Heppel, a lead researcher.“The last place a child would sit to read is an upright chair. And we've found that 95% ofthem really don't read on a chair at home, ” Heppel added, “When they go on holidays, they read lying down.”Professor Heppel hopes to bring the “shoeless policy” to all the U.K. schools. He says relaxing conditions at school make children feel as if they're at home. He believes all the teachers will be glad to adopt the habit.11．The best title to describe the main idea of the passage is“________”．A. Suggestions on shoeless childrenB. Suggestions on children with shoes onC. Shoeless children do better at schoolD. Shoeless children look cool at school12．According to the passage, we know that the study was made by ________.A. some university studentsB. children from 25 countriesC. teachers in 100 schoolsD. researchers from universities13．Which of the following pie charts(图表) () can explain Heppel's discovery?14．Heppel thinks shoeless policy can provide children with ________.A. quiet activitiesB. relaxing conditionsC. some upright chairsD. a safe environment15．What does the underlined word “adopt” mean in the passage?A. acceptB. refuseC. change D．throwD(中考·丽水)Think of a simple object — a piece of chalk, for example. Are you remembering its name, its shape, its color or its size? Are you remembering what it is used for, or the sound it makes when the teacher writes on the blackboard? Scientists say that memory includes different parts of the brain, such as language and the ability of sense. They believe that you begin to create a memory when you notice something with your senses. Then messages are sent to different brain cells, which join together to form connections. A new connection goes into your short-term memory. It is stored there for about 30 seconds, and then it is either lost or stored in your long-term memory.Having a good memory means making lots of connections and storing them in yourlong-term memory. To do this, you need to keep your brain in good shape. Eat plenty of brain food such as fish oil, fruit and vegetables. Laughter also makes your brain more active. Also, don't forget to exercise. So do some sports or just move around a lot in the house. Finally, get plenty of sleep. This will make your memories grow stronger.When you want to remember new information, you must pay special attention. Use your senses—sight, smell, hearing and touch—and keep repeating the information. To do well in your exams this year, turn off the TV, silence your mobile, and review your work regularly. Toremember something special, use your imagination to create visual (视觉的) connections. For example, you need to take a pencil, an eraser, your ID card and chips to your next exam. Imagine the ID card as the body of an animal, the pencil its long neck, and the eraser its head. Your animal is hungry, so now imagine it eating a bag of chips. It may sound crazy, but it's fun and it works. Another way is to do something different to your room. Turn a picture upside-down, or tie a sock around the door handle to remind (提醒) yourself of something to remember!16．At the beginning, the writer gives an example to ________．A. lead in the topic of the articleB. show the importance of chalkC. let readers remember the wordD. make readers know his favorite17．How many ways are mentioned to have a good memory in Paragraph 2?A. 2.B. 3.C. 4.D. 5.18．The main idea of the third paragraph is ________.A. how to do well in examsB. how to remember new informationC. why to review our workD. what to eat to make memories stronger19．Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A. Memory has nothing to do with languages.B. Laughter can help to improve our memory.C. A picture of eating chips is the most useful.D. Our brain is different to keep in good shape.E(中考·武汉)The Silk Road is the name of different roads that long ago connected Europe, Africa and Asia. People reached these different places along these roads. Scientists believe people began to travel the Silk Road about 3，000 years ago. By the time the Chinese silk trade became important in the world, the Silk Road covered almost 6，500 kilometers. It went from Rome to China, which is from the West to the Far East.Merchants travelled along the Silk Road to carry silk, of course. They also carried and traded other things like spices (香料), cloth, jewels and gold.Along and around these ancient paths (小路), have come many fascinating and mysterious stories.It is said that Roman soldiers who lost a war travelled through central Asia. They decided to live somewhere near the ancient Chinese villages. Some of these Romans married local Chinese women and the legend of the blond-haired, blue-eyed tribes of China was started.Some historians believe that the people of Kashmir were taken away from their country Israel. They were prisoners (俘虏) of war about 2，800 years ago. People say that these people travelled along the Silk Road. They kept their Jewish way of life for a long time.During its busiest period, the Silk Road allowed people from many different cultures and countries to meet each other and mix. The Silk Road allowed the sharing of valuable things and new ideas. It included people and trading goods from different areas. All these peoples travelled the Silk Road, and they shared goods, stories, languages, and cultures.In modern times, the old Silk Road routes (路线) are still used, but now they are crossed by trains instead of camels and horses. There is even a Silk Route Museum in Jiuquan in China. It has over 35，000 objects from all along the Silk Road. In this way, China protects the history of many countries and peoples.20．It is clear that ________.A. the Silk Road was divided into Europe, Africa and AsiaB.

She had a fight with a group of local people because they made a joke about her while she was eating.

冀教版九年级英语阅读理解试题(含答案详解)My husband Shane and I were hanging out on the street one evening. I was talking but he was looking over at someone.He walked over to a young girl who was crying.

She told Shane that all she wanted was to go to her sister’s house in another city.Some people would have handed her some money, wished her lunch or maybe allowed her to make a call. Shane did much more. He said, “Kelly, I can’t leave her here like this. Sometimes people need someone not only to help them but to believe they’re telling the truth.”I was a bit cold, so we had an idea to take her home. When I asked her if she’d like to go home with us, she thanked me about a million times with tears in her eyes.We went home and I gave her some clean clothes to wear and told her she could use the shower. We ate something. Finally, she told us her story.In the morning, she was finally able to get a hold of her sister, so she had a place to go to.

Many sports players have them, too. In the US, tattoos are very popular. Forty percent of Americans aged between 26 and 40 have a tattoo, and 60 percent of customers in US tattoo parlors are women. These people are often professional people like doctor, teachers and lawyers.However, tattoos are not modern. In fact, they are very old in human history. For example, archaeologists found a human in ice from 5,000 years ago. He had 57 tattoos on his back, ankles, legs, knees and feet. Tattoos were used for many different reasons. In ancient Egypt, people got tattoos because they were “beautiful”. But in ancient Rome, tattoos were negative and put on criminals and prisoners. In India, tattoos were religious.In the 16th and 17th century, European sailors arrived on the islands of Polynesia. They saw tattoos for the first time. The people on the islands had tattoos on their shoulders, chests, backs and legs. Often the tattoos were of animals or natural features like a river or a mountain. The European sailors liked them and made their own tattoos, so the idea traveled to Europe. Tattoos in Polynesia are still important today. They show information about a person’s history, their island or their job.So is there a connection between traditional tattoos and fashionable tattoos? And can you call tattoos a fashion? Chris Rainier is an expert in tattoos and his book Ancient Marks has photos of tattoos from all over the world. He thinks people in modern societies often have tattoos becausethey are a connection to the traditional world. But tattoos aren’t a fashion like clothes or a haircut because you can’t put them on and take them off again like a jacket or a hat. They are permanent and for life.12. When were tattoos brought to Europe?A. 5,000 years ago.B. 60 years ago.C. Until recently.D. In the 16th and 17th century.【答案】D13. What does the underlined word “parlors” mean?A. School.B. Stores.C. Hospitals.D. Theaters.【答案】B14. What’s the writer’s opinion about tattoos?A. Tattoos are religious in modern societies.B. Tattoos connect tradition with fashion.C. Tattoos are a fashion among famous people.D. Tattoos show information about a person’s hobby.【答案】B15. What would be the best title for the passage?A. Tattoos' History.B. Tattoos in Polynesia.C. Tattoos on a Human in Ice.D. Tattoos in Fashion and for Life.【答案】D。

They give you two shouts, two whistles, or two gun-shots (枪声). When someone gives you a signal, it is an answer to a call for help.If you don’t think that you will get help before night comes, try to make a little house---cover upto the holes with branches (树枝) with lots of leaves. Make yourself a soft bed with leaves and grass.What should you do if you get hungry or need drinking water? You would have to leave your little house to look for a river. Don’t just walk away.

They find other criminals by using science and their computers. When there is a bank robbery (抢劫), the police first look through their computers for the names of the bank robbers that they know about. Then they go and talk to any of these robbers who are not in prison (监狱). They ask them where they were when the robbery happened. If any of these people cannot give a good answer, the police will often use science to find out if one of them is the robber.Many criminals leave something of themselves at the places of the crimes like a fingerprint or a hair. Or they take something away on their shoes or clothes, like dirt or animal hair. If they leave behind some of their blood or their hair or a piece of skin, it will have their DNA inside it. Everyone’s DNA is different and their fingerprints are also different. So, if a criminal cuts himself during a robbery or leaves his hair, or even a small piece of skin, scientists can find out what his DNA is. The police can then ask the person they think is the robber to give them his hair or some blood and see if it has the same DNA．Many criminals are in prison today because of this kind of evidences .根据上文内容判断正( T ) 误( F )6．Usually the police find criminals because they use their computer.7．The police do not usually ask criminals who are in prison about a crime because these criminals could not have done it.8．The most useful evidences that criminals leave at the places of their crimes are things with their DNA in them.9．Many criminals usually take something away only on their shoes after the crimes.10．The story is about a bank robbery.。

A(中考·孝感)Mr. Smith is fifty years old. He began to teach in a middle school twenty-six years ago. He works hard and always comes to his office on time. He expects his students to be honest and is strict with them. Some of his students become famous people, but they still remember him and often write to him. Of course the old man is proud of it.This term he began to teach Grade One. Some of the new students were told about him, but the others didn't know him well. He told them how to be an honest person. He gave them several examples and said, “I hate telling a lie most.”Before class was over, he told all his students to finish Exercise 8 in Unit 1. The next morning, as soon as he came into the classroom, he asked, “Who's finished Exercise 8？”A few students put up their hands. He shook his head and said，“Open your workbooks and see whether there's Exercise 8 in Unit 1 or not？”The students had a look at their workbooks and their faces turned red at once.1．How long has Mr.Smith taught in the middle school?A.

The butterfly tries to get out of its chrysalis (蛹). Feeling sorry for it, the man decides to help. He cuts the chrysalis and the butterfly comes out easily. Surprisingly enough, the butterfly is unable to fly. If the butterfly doesn't struggle (挣扎；奋斗) to leave the chrysalis, it can't fly! The struggle develops the energy in the butterfly which makes it fly. Similarly, the challenges of life bring out the best in young people and make them fly.When people are young, meeting and overcoming challenges will make them strong and ready to face life. When we look at successful people, we see that the most successful of them are people who have had to struggle. One famous businessman, who now owns many bigsupermarkets, used to carry clothes on his back and sell them from door to door when he was young. Another successful man is Dennis. His father died when he was only twenty. His father's death forced him to mature fast. He had to bring up a family of nine people. He took up the challenges and overcame them. Today his brothers and sisters are leading successful lives.Sometimes challenges do not appear to us because we keep away from them. So some parents and teachers actively encourage young people to face challenges. They might organize some activities for young people which provide them with challenges, like rock-climbing, camping, volunteer work and so on. However, just passing exams will not prepare a person for life. We must meet and overcome challenges. The young people of today will become the leaders of tomorrow. For countries to continue to become successful, it is important that the young people learn to meet challenges and overcome them.6．From the story we know that the butterfly can't fly because ________．A. it gets out by itselfB. the man feels sorry for itC. it tries to challenge itselfD. the man helps it come out7．Dennis's example shows that successful people should________．A. overcome the difficultiesB. take up business earlyC. become the leaders of tomorrowD. sell clothes from door to door8．The meaning of the underlined word “mature” in the passage is “________”．A. wake upB. give upC. grow upD. bring up9．What is the writer trying to do in this passage?A. Describe where a butterfly comes from.B. Encourage young people to face challenges.C. Suggest how to become a successful businessman.D. Explain what will happen if a person fails the exam.10．What is the best title for this passage?A. Successful People Have a Sense of AchievementB. Young People Must Develop Their Energy ActivelyC. Countries Should Continue to Become SuccessfulD. Challenges of Life Bring Out the Best in Young PeopleC(中考·沈阳)Children with no shoes on do better at school than those with shoes on, a study suggests.For over 10 years, researchers from universities observed (观察) children in 100 schools from 25 countries. They found that classrooms were quieter when children took off their shoes. It provided a quieter environment where pupils were more willing to focus on study than those with shoes on.“Children are much more willing to sit on the floor and relax if they have no shoes on, ” said professor Stephen Heppel, a lead researcher.“The last place a child would sit to read is an upright chair. And we've found that 95% ofthem really don't read on a chair at home, ” Heppel added, “When they go on holidays, they read lying down.”Professor Heppel hopes to bring the “shoeless policy” to all the U.K. schools. He says relaxing conditions at school make children feel as if they're at home. He believes all the teachers will be glad to adopt the habit.11．The best title to describe the main idea of the passage is“________”．A. Suggestions on shoeless childrenB. Suggestions on children with shoes onC. Shoeless children do better at schoolD. Shoeless children look cool at school12．According to the passage, we know that the study was made by ________.A. some university studentsB. children from 25 countriesC. teachers in 100 schoolsD. researchers from universities13．Which of the following pie charts(图表) () can explain Heppel's discovery?14．Heppel thinks shoeless policy can provide children with ________.A. quiet activitiesB. relaxing conditionsC. some upright chairsD. a safe environment15．What does the underlined word “adopt” mean in the passage?A. acceptB. refuseC. change D．throwD(中考·丽水)Think of a simple object — a piece of chalk, for example. Are you remembering its name, its shape, its color or its size? Are you remembering what it is used for, or the sound it makes when the teacher writes on the blackboard? Scientists say that memory includes different parts of the brain, such as language and the ability of sense. They believe that you begin to create a memory when you notice something with your senses. Then messages are sent to different brain cells, which join together to form connections. A new connection goes into your short-term memory. It is stored there for about 30 seconds, and then it is either lost or stored in your long-term memory.Having a good memory means making lots of connections and storing them in yourlong-term memory. To do this, you need to keep your brain in good shape. Eat plenty of brain food such as fish oil, fruit and vegetables. Laughter also makes your brain more active. Also, don't forget to exercise. So do some sports or just move around a lot in the house. Finally, get plenty of sleep. This will make your memories grow stronger.When you want to remember new information, you must pay special attention. Use your senses—sight, smell, hearing and touch—and keep repeating the information. To do well in your exams this year, turn off the TV, silence your mobile, and review your work regularly. Toremember something special, use your imagination to create visual (视觉的) connections. For example, you need to take a pencil, an eraser, your ID card and chips to your next exam. Imagine the ID card as the body of an animal, the pencil its long neck, and the eraser its head. Your animal is hungry, so now imagine it eating a bag of chips. It may sound crazy, but it's fun and it works. Another way is to do something different to your room. Turn a picture upside-down, or tie a sock around the door handle to remind (提醒) yourself of something to remember!16．At the beginning, the writer gives an example to ________．A. lead in the topic of the articleB. show the importance of chalkC. let readers remember the wordD. make readers know his favorite17．How many ways are mentioned to have a good memory in Paragraph 2?A. 2.B. 3.C. 4.D. 5.18．The main idea of the third paragraph is ________.A. how to do well in examsB. how to remember new informationC. why to review our workD. what to eat to make memories stronger19．Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A. Memory has nothing to do with languages.B. Laughter can help to improve our memory.C. A picture of eating chips is the most useful.D. Our brain is different to keep in good shape.E(中考·武汉)The Silk Road is the name of different roads that long ago connected Europe, Africa and Asia. People reached these different places along these roads. Scientists believe people began to travel the Silk Road about 3，000 years ago. By the time the Chinese silk trade became important in the world, the Silk Road covered almost 6，500 kilometers. It went from Rome to China, which is from the West to the Far East.Merchants travelled along the Silk Road to carry silk, of course. They also carried and traded other things like spices (香料), cloth, jewels and gold.Along and around these ancient paths (小路), have come many fascinating and mysterious stories.It is said that Roman soldiers who lost a war travelled through central Asia. They decided to live somewhere near the ancient Chinese villages. Some of these Romans married local Chinese women and the legend of the blond-haired, blue-eyed tribes of China was started.Some historians believe that the people of Kashmir were taken away from their country Israel. They were prisoners (俘虏) of war about 2，800 years ago. People say that these people travelled along the Silk Road. They kept their Jewish way of life for a long time.During its busiest period, the Silk Road allowed people from many different cultures and countries to meet each other and mix. The Silk Road allowed the sharing of valuable things and new ideas. It included people and trading goods from different areas. All these peoples travelled the Silk Road, and they shared goods, stories, languages, and cultures.In modern times, the old Silk Road routes (路线) are still used, but now they are crossed by trains instead of camels and horses. There is even a Silk Route Museum in Jiuquan in China. It has over 35，000 objects from all along the Silk Road. In this way, China protects the history of many countries and peoples.20．It is clear that ________.A. the Silk Road was divided into Europe, Africa and AsiaB.

ALanguages have been coming and going for thousands of years , but in recent times there has been less coming and a lot more going. When the world was still populated by hunter- gatherers, small, tightly knit (联系) groups developed their own patterns of speech independent of each other. Some language experts believe that 10,000 years ago,when the world had just five to ten million people, they spoke perhaps 12, 000 languages between them.Soon afterwards many of those people started settling down to become farmers, and their languages too became more settled and fewer in number. In recent centuries, trade,industrialisation, the development of the nation-state and the spread of universal compulsory education, especially globalisation and better communications in the past few decades, all have caused many languages to disappear , and dominant languages such as English, Spanish and Chinese are increasingly taking over.At present, the world has about 6,800 languages. The distribution of these languages is hugely uneven. The general rule is that mild zones have relatively few languages, often spoken by many people , while hot, wet zones have lots,often spoken by small numbers. Europe has only around 200 languages;the Americas about1 ,000;Africa 2,400;and Asia and the Pacific perhaps 3, 200, of which Papua New Guinea alone accounts for well over 800. The median number (中位数) of speakers is a mere 6 ,000, which means that half the world's languages are spoken by fewer people than that.Already well over 400 of the total of 6, 800 languages are close to extinction(消亡 ), with only a few elderly speakers left. Pick, at random, Busuu in Cameroon ( eight remaining speakers ), Chiapaneco in Mexico( 150 ) Lipan Apache in the United States ( two or three ) or Wadjigu in Australia ( one,with a question-mark ) :none of these seems to have much chance of survival.1.What can we infer about languages in hunter gatherer times?A. They developed very fast.B. They were large in number.C.They had similar patterns.D. They were closely connected.2.Which one is not the reason why many languages disappear?A. Trade.B. The spread of universal compulsory education.C.Industrialisation.D.The distribution of these languages.3.H ow many languages are spoken in Europe?A.About 6,800B.About 2,400C.About 1,200D.About 200.4.Which language mentioned in the passage has the least speakers?A.Busuu in Cameroon.B.Chiapaneco in Mexico.C.Lipan Apache in the United States.D.Wadjigu in Australia.BTrying to find the perfect present is about as easy as trying to read someone 's mind.Few people will actually tell you what they want for a special occasion and most of the time your lovedones will insist that they don't need or want anything!
