2015北京市中考英语一模阅读B篇汇编含答案一、北京市朝阳区2015中考一模BSpam (垃圾邮件) mail is a fact of Internet life. Some of it carries bad things, but the main problem with spam is that it is unpleasant because it fills your mail box with pointless messages.Most email programs have built-in filters (过滤器) that will discover unwanted messages and put them into a junk folder (垃圾文件夹). You can make the filter learn what you consider to be spam or block certain senders.Avoid letting your email address appear on websites—spammers search the Internet for email addresses. Be careful who you give your email address to, and if you need to send out several copies of an email, use blind copy instead to cover the other people’s addresses.Delete (删除) spam emails without opening them. Signs of possible spam are bad spelling in email headers, strange sender addresses, or emails sent at unusual hours. If you do open a spam mail, never reply to it or click on any pictures it may have.If you receive an unexpected email pretending (伪装) to come from your bank, credit card company or other suppliers, be very careful. If the email asks you to reply, don’t do it! Instead, call up these places or visit their websites.Consider setting up a second email address and keep one address for your personal use and another for your online communication.44. What is the main problem with spam?A. It’s everywhere.B. It carries bad things.C. It’s unpleasant.D. It fills one’s mail box.45. How many suggestions are there in the passage?A. Three.B. Four.C.

These stories often have a lesson to teach, too. Here are the stories of some everyday household inventions.Canned Food and the Can Opener—Get It Right!Peter Durand invented canned food in 1810, but there was a problem. Durand didn't have a good way to open the cans. In 1858, Ezra Warner invented a can opener. It used a piece of metal to cut and remove the top from the can, but it was difficult to use. Finally, in 1870, William Lyman added a wheel to the can opener. The metal went around the top of the can and removed it easily. Finally, people were able to open cans without a lot of work. Canned food was soon popular.Frozen Food—A Little Good Luck Can Help!Clarence Birdseye had the chance to go on a trip to如e Arctic. When people there caught fish, they put the fish in a container (容器) of ice to freeze it quickly. When people cooked the fish later, it was still good! This gave Birdseye an idea. He thought people could also have this kind of food at home. In 1926, Birdseye invented frozen food. People were able to store food in freezers for a long time.Air Conditioning—One Answer to Two Problems!Printing companies make books, so they use a lot of paper. Sometimes, changes in the weather can hurt the paper. In 1902, Willis Carrier invented air conditioning to control the temperature inside his printing company. This saved the paper. People soon realized other benefits of air conditioning. They started to air condition their homes in the summer. Carrier's invention changed the world!44. When was canned food invented?A. In 1810.B. In 1870.C. In 1902.D. In 1926.45. After the trip to the Arctic, Clarence Birdseye invented ____________.A. canned foodB. can openersC. frozen foodD. air conditioning46.

However, putting your feet on the table, using iPads, eating and drinking may also take place in school. Americans are famous for their casual (随意的)style. I didn’t think it was a big deal until I arrived here.I was told sitting still is what you should do in middle school. That is a traditional Chinese way to show that we are paying attention to what the teacher is saying. Meanwhile, it doesn’tseem to matter in the US. When I first saw a student lying on a sofa, I was shocked and thought the teacher may feel angry, but she didn’t. She just smiled and kept talking. Then I got used to it, and enjoyed the relaxing and comfortable position (姿势) in class. Yet it’s really easy to fall asleep if I feel too comfortable.Also, we don’t have uniforms at school. We can wear whatever we want. And teenagers here feel free to eat breakfast, snacks, and drink soda while teachers are talking. Teachers won’t feel upset and may even eat with them. Once, my English teacher was secretly eating a bag of chips in her seat.American teachers chat with students in class. It makes us feel closer to them. Although it does mean we go off topic easily. In comparision, Chinese teachers are strict, but it helps us to focus on our task.44. Where is the writer from?A. America.B. China.C. England.D. I don’t know.45.

A九、平谷区2014-2015学年度初三统练（一）BSometimes people call ours a "throwaway society". That means that we're always throwing away old things and buying new ones. Many times, you no longer need something, but someone else may just need to buy one. For example, if your baby doesn't like his toy car any longer, why not give it to a nearly family who has a little kid? That's one less plastic toy car that they need to buy. It's also one less plastic toy that needs to be produced, packaged and shipped to the toy store.Here arc some other ways to help the society save resources (资源):★Use the other side of the paper so that less trees are cut down.★Use rechargeable (可再充电的) batteries for your electric toys, MP3 players, cell phones, and cameras.★ Choose reusable travel cups instead of disposable (一次性的) paper or plastic cups.★Take your own cloth shopping bags instead of using the plastic bags that are offered when you go shopping. ★ Drink tap water instead of buying bottled water.And there are some things you can exchange with your friends, for example, books, toys, even clothes. It's a way for everyone to get something new without spending any money and without throwing many things away.45. What does “throwaway society” mean according to the passage?A. we don’t like old things.B. we don’t buy new things.C. we’re always throwing away old things.D. we’re always throwing away old thi ngs and buying new ones.46.

One such expression is to touch all bases.There are four bases in baseball – first, second, third and home plate. When a baseball player hits the ball, he must run to each base – in order – and touch it with his foot. It is the only way to get a point. If the player hits the ball and fails to touch all the bases, the point will not be counted.The importance of touching all the bases was shown at the start of the 1974 baseball seasons.Hank Aaron was a player with the Atlanta Braves team. He was trying to find the record for hitting the most home runs (全垒打). Aaron needed just one home run to be well matched with the record held by Babe Ruth, the greatest hitter in baseball history. Aaron got that home run the very first time he had a chance to hit the ball. That gave him 714 home runs – the same as Babe Ruth. After that day, baseball fans held their breath every time when it was Hank Aaron’s turn to hit. When would he hit home run number 715?The wait was not long. In the second week of the season, Aaron again hit the ball over the wall. He had b eaten Babe Ruth’s record. But first, he had to run around the four bases. The other players on his team watched carefully to make sure he touched each one.So, to touch all bases means to do what is necessary to complete an activity.The expression is used to business and politics. No business deal or political events are really complete until you discuss all the problems involved. Or, as it is said, until you touch all bases.【】44. When a baseball player hits the ball, he must ______ to get a point.A. run to each base freelyB. touch t he home plate firstC. touch all the bases with his handsD. run to each base in order and touch it with his foot【】45. When was the importance of touching all the bases shown?A. At the start of the 1974 baseball seasons.B. At the end of the 1974 baseball seasons.C. Before the baseball rules made.D. In the second week of 1974.【】46. Who hit home run number 715?A. Babe Ruth.B. Hank Aaron.C. Babe Ruth’s partner.D. Hank Aaron’s friend.【】47. What do es the expression “to touch all bases” mean?A.

Together, the old pianist and the little boy impressed people with their beautiful music.In all of our lives, we receive helping hands —some we notice, some we don’t.

(共10分，每小题2分)Why is Denmark the “kingdom of fairy tales”? Because it was the home of famous writer Hans Christian Andersen. But there might be other reasons, says a new study.Denmark is the happiest country in the world, according to the 2013 World Happiness Report by the United Nations (UN). The report ranks（排列）156 countries and regions (地区). All the top five happiest countries are from Europe, and three of them are from Scandinavia.What makes people there happy? The UN considered several reasons.Money is one. We are happy if we have money to cover our necessities. But extra (额外的) money cannot bring us more happiness. People in Northern Europe know this. From cars to mobile phones, from clothes to buildings, their designs are quite simple. Luxury (奢华) is not there.Another reason is health. Nordic (北欧的) people have a healthy diet. They love fresh food. “There is not a big fast-food culture and no ready meals. We sit down with our families to eat our meals,” said Trina Hahnemann, a Danish cook.A harmonious (和谐的) social life also makes us happy, according to the UN report. How about Nordic people? They live in harmony not only with people around, but also with nature. Night life is not popular in Scandinavia. People go home after work for some quality（高品质的） time with family members. Many families have a backyard. Father and child spend hours there each week, planting flowers and building swings.Do you want to be happy?

They warn that anger can lead to heart disease, stomach problems, headaches, emotional problems and possibly cancer.Anger is a normal emotion that we all feel from time to time. Some people express anger openly in a peaceful and reasonable way. Some people are so angry that they shout or cry to show their anger. But other people keep their anger inside. They can not or will not express it. This is called repressing(压抑性的) anger.In the past many doctors thought that repressing anger was more dangerous to a person’s health than expressing it.They said that when a person is angry, the brain produces the same hormones(荷尔蒙). Their hearts beat faster, blood pressure goes up. In general the person feels excited and to act.Some doctors say that both repressing and expressing anger can be dangerous. They believe if you express anger with wrong emotion, you may develop heart disease, and they believe if you keep the anger inside, you may face a greater danger of high blood pressure.Doctors say we have to learn how to deal with anger. They say the first step is to agree that you are angry and to recognize the real cause of the anger, then decide if the cause is serious enough to get angry about. If it is, they say, “Do not express your anger while angry. Wait until your anger has cooled down and you are able to express yourself peacefully and reasonably.”Doctors say that the best way to deal with anger is to find humor in the situation that has made you angry. They said that laughter is much healthier than anger.61. Do doctors say anger is very dangerous?62. Why do some people shout and cry?63.

There are lots of reasons why they do this—mostly it is easy to find work, because all the big companies are in the cities and they need lots of people to work there. When there are lots of people living and working in a city, they need things like restaurants, shops, hospitals and schools. There are more jobs that people need to do. There will be lots of transport in the city to move all the people around. Everything you want will be found in the city: government offices, museums and art galleries, cinemas, big restaurants and parks.Unfortunately(遗憾地) the city is much busier, more expensive, and more dangerous than the country. The air is not as fresh as in the country because of all the cars and trucks on the roads. There are so many people that are not as friendly—— you cannot get to know everyone as you do in the country, and people may get lonely. You do not have much room in the city——most people live in apartments——not houses, and they do not have gardens or lots of space, and because of all the people there is also a lot of noises.The country is much cheaper to live and there are less dangerous people than you find in cities. Perhaps the best thing is that you can have a big house with a garden and it will be very quiet, but there are not many jobs or services there. There are also not many shops, schools or hospitals.

If so, you will find Being A Happy Teenager by Australian writer Andrew Matthews is useful.Andrew Matthews is a writer, cartoonist and speaker. His books have been translated into 20 languages. He has been on over 2000 radios and TV programs.In his book, Matthews tells us how to have a happy life and answers the questions of teenagers.There are many topics such as parents and friends, and the book says we should stop being angry and forgive. The book tells us a lot of useful skills, such as how to put what you have learned into pictures of your mind to make your memory better. Many teenagers think that happiness comes from a good exam marks or praise from other people. But you can still be happy when there are no such “good” things. Success comes from a good attitude. If you learn from problems you will have success in the future.Some school boys have problems, such as being too tall or too short. But Matthews tells us happiness comes from thinking about thing in a positive way.If you are tall, people notice you and you can get a better view at the movie; If you are short, your clothes and shoes take less room in your bedroom.This is Matthews’most important lesson—you choose to be happy.61.

He held a sign which said, “I am blind. Please help me.”There were only a few coins in the hat. A man was walking by. He took out a few coins from his pocket and dropped them into the hat. He then took the sign, turned it around, and wrote some words on it. He put the sign back so that everyone walked by could see the new words.Soon the hat began to fill up. A lot more people were giving money to the blind boy. That afternoon the man who had changed the sign came to see how things were. The boy recognized his footsteps and asked, “Are you the one who changed my sign in the morning? What did you write?”The man said, “I only wrote the truth. I said what you said, but in a different way.” What he had written was, “Today is a beautiful day, but I can’t see it.”Do you think the first sign and the second sign were saying the same thing? Of course both signs told people the boy was blind. But the first simply told people to help by putting some money in the hat. The second sign told people that they were able to enjoy the beauty of the day, but the boy could not enjoy it because he was blind.The first sign simply said the boy was blind, while the second sign told people they were lucky that they were not blind. There are at least two lessons we can learn from this simple story. The first is: Treasure what you have. Someone else has less. Try your best to help those who need your help. The second is: Be creative. Think differently. There is always a better way.61. Did the boy need help?62. What did the man write on the sign?63.

Can you imaginethe flying feeling as you are pulled up to the top and then moveddown to the bottom quickly again?Today a Ferris wheel is usually 40 to 60 feet tall. That seemsvery high when you are on the top looking down. But the firstFerris wheel was 264 feet high –taller than a twenty-story Ferris wheelbuilding! Can you imagine the view from the top of that?The first Ferris wheel was built for the 1893 World’s Fair in Chicago. The people who planned the fair were looking for an attraction that would bring people to Chicago. George Ferris handed a drawing of a giant wheel that people could ride on. At first everyone laughed at his strange idea. But Mr. Ferris did not give up, and finally the idea was accepted. The ride opened in June of 1893. Today’s Ferris wheels have 12 to 16 seats, which each carry 2 o r 3 people. But that first one had 36 enclosed cars, each holding 60 passengers. When filled, it carried 2,160 people. During that summer in Chicago, about 1.5 million people rode the Ferris wheel.After the fair the ride was moved to a nearby amusement park built especially to show off the wheel. In 1904, it was moved again – to St. Louis for the Louisiana Purchase Exposition. After the fair there, the wheel stood unused. In 1906 it was finally sold to a company for scrap metal (废铁). Luckily a Chicago bridge builder, W.E. Sullivan, figured out how to make a smaller Ferris wheel that could easily be taken apart and put together. In 1906 he started the company that still makes many of the Ferris wheels used today.But, whenever you ride one, reme mber that it all began with George Ferris’s strange idea!61.

Unfortunately I do not have a car but I realized that Icould start carpooling.Carpooling is the sharing of car journeys so that more than one person travels in a car. As a result, carpooling can be a cheaper choice than public transport because everyone in the car shares the cost of petrol（汽油）. I recently did carpooling for the first time and it was very easy to find a driver. I used a website which lists drivers’ descriptions and found someone who was going to the same place as me. The descriptions provided a lot of informati on such as the driver’s first name, age and gender as well as reviews from previous（以前的）passengers. I decided to travel with a lady who had very good reviews. I paid for my share of the petrol through the website and planned to meet her in the town center.It may seem quite dangerous to travel with a stranger but there are some safety actions. Firstly, the driver cannot receive your money until you text him or her a code（密码）at the end of your journey. This means that if you are unsatisfied with your trip, the driver will not be paid. Secondly, it is important to read quite a number of the drivers’ descriptions and reviews when you choose a driver. Lastly, I would suggest travelling with a friend so that you will feel safer and less lonely.I had a very good experience carpooling. Not only was the trip very cheap, but the driver and the other passengers were really friendly. They were all French so I had the chance to practice speaking some French. As train and petrol prices are rising, both drivers and passengers can benefit from this cheaper form of travel. More importantly, carpooling provides a fantastic opportunity to meet interesting people on your travels.61. How did the writer usually travel before starting carpooling?62. Who pays for the petrol when people do carpooling?63. When can the driver receive the money from a passenger?64. To keep safe, what does a passenger need to do when choosing a driver?65.

At that time, I did not realize the seriousness of it and how lucky I was to still be alive. As I look back to think what happened on that night, I now realize how lucky my family members and I were to not havegotten serious injuries.The day of the accident started out great. My brother, Troy, and I had spent the night before at JoAnn’s house, with Heather, and JoAnn’s husband Gary. The next day we spent playing inside the house, because it was cold, windy and rainy outside. At night, JoAnn told us we were going out and that where we were going was a surprise. The five of us climbed into an old car, and we set off for our surprise. It was still cold, windy, and raining cats and dogs outside when we left. Troy, Heather and I sat in the backseat together happily. The next thing I knew was that everything was chaos (混乱)! The road was so slick (滑的) that the car lost control. Glass was flying everywhere, and it sounded like there was noise all around us. Then it was totally quiet, except for the sound of the rain and wind. Troy, Heather and I were all lying on top of one another. The three of us were crying, not knowing what had happened. JoAnn and Gary were trying to calm (使平静) us down and kept asking us if we were all right. Luckily, none of us was injured, just a few cuts. After that I only remember sitting there in the cold, dark night waiting for Gary to get back with people to help us. We never got to the surprise that night. But at least we were able to go home in one piece.After my brother and I got home that night, I remember my parents let us stay up as long as we wanted to. I guess my parents were realizing just how close they came to losing us that night. As I think of the tragedy (悲剧) that could have happened on that night, I realize how precious (宝贵) life is. I treasure my family and friends, and hope that we will share a loving, caring, and rewarding lifetime together. Things seldom go the way I plan them to, butI take a deep breath, try to laugh, and make the best of it.61.

A study shows that the people who are more confident are much happier. They can have more chance to make themselves successful. But how to be more confident? Here are some suggestions:·Speak loud When you are not confident, you can't do well what you want to do. You speak in a voice so low that other people can hardly hear you. Try to speak loud enough so that people can hear you clearly. The high voice can help you become more confident.·Play sports Physical exercise makes you tired but completely relaxed. A strong body helps you be full of confidence.·Encourage yourself Write down a list of things you did during the day to see how many things you have done well. Did you finish your homework? Did you tell a joke that made everybody laugh? Give yourself praise for the good things you've done.·Get rid of fear Fear comes along with failure. But it's easy to overcome （克服）if you know that failure is part of your life. Don't hide your head just because you said something stupid last time. Try to start again and believe you can do better.·Pick up a hobby If you like singing, sing as much as you can. In some ways, a hobby can make you outstanding.

The key to the problem is the long nap(小睡) after dinner.If you didn’t sleep for hours during the early part of the evening, you should be more ready to sleep at bedtime. If you didn’t nap after dinner, you would not want to stay up so late, and you would not feel the need to take a sleeping pill. The pill is still working in your body when you get up in the morning. This helps explain the fact that you feel tired all day.You should get out of the habit of sleeping during the evening. Right after your evening meal, join some kinds of physical activity—a sport such as tennis, perhaps. Or get together with friends for an evening of cards and conversation. Then go to bed at your usual time or a little earlier, and you should be able to get a good night’s rest without taking a pill.If you can get into the habit of spending your evening this way, I am sure you will feel less tired during the day. At first it may be hard for you to go to sleep without taking a pill. If so, get up and watch television or do some jobs around your house until you feel sleepy. If you fall asleep and then wake up a few hours later, get up but do not take a sleeping pill. Read a while or listen to the radio, and make yourself a warm drink. Eat a sandwich or a cookie. Then go back to bed. Even if you get only a few hours’ sleep that night, you will feel better in the morning than you usually feel after taking a pill. The next night you will be ready to sleep at an earlier hour.65. Is the letter written by a doctor?66. What’s the reason that Mr. L. can’t sleep well?67. Why does Mr. L. feel tired all day?68.

一．北京市朝阳区2015中考一模D“T he world has never been a better place to live in” says science writer Matt Ridley, “and it will keep on getting better.”Read on to see how Ridley makes his case. Right or wrong You decide.Compared with 50 years ago, when I was just four years old, people now make nearly three times as much money, eat one third more food and expect to live one third longer. In fact, it’s hard to find any areas of the world that’s worse off now than it was then, even though the world population has more than doubled over that period.One reason we are richer, healthier, taller, cleverer, longer-lived and freer than ever before is that the four most basic human needs—food, clothing, fuel and shelter—have grown much cheaper. Take one example: In 1800, a candle providing one hour’s light cost six hours’ work. In the 1880s, the same light from a lamp took 15 minutes’work to pay for. In 1950, it was eight seconds. Today, it’s half a second. In these terms, we are 43,200 times better off than in1800.In the United St ates, rivers, lakes, seas and air are getting cleaner all the time. A car today produces less pollution traveling at full speed than a parked car did from leaks (泄漏) in 1970.Although the world population is growing, the rate (率) of increase has been falling for 50 years. Across the world, national birth rates are lower now than in 1960, and in the less developed world, the birth rate has almost halved. According to a research report from the United Nations, population will start falling once it reaches 9.2 billion in 2075. After all, there are already seven billion people on earth, and they are eating better and better.In 1970s, there were 550 billion barrels (桶) of oil reserves (储存) in the world, and in the 20 years that followed the world use d up 600 billion. So by 1990, reserves should have been overused by 50 billion barrels. Instead, it is reported there are 900 billion today. They will last for many years and people will find something in place of oil long before they run out.The more we develop, the more we can develop. The more we invent, the more inventions become possible. For 200 years, pessimists (people who believe that terrible things will happen in future) have had all the headlines—even though optimists have far more often been right. There are some reasons for pessimists. No charity (慈善机构) ever raised money by saying things are getting better. No journalist ever got the front page writing a story about how terrible things won’t happen. Don’t be a pessimist—dare to be an optimist!52.

B二． 2015年顺义区初三第一次模拟练习DLanguages keeps evolving（进化、发展）, and English is no exception. It is a language that embraces(欣然接受)new words that may be cool today but gone tomorrow.There are, however, some words and phrases that have stood the test of time. OK, which hasbecome the international standard for expressing agreement, is a good example.But why is this rather odd(奇怪的)expression so popular and so useful when we could use any number of other words to say the same thingWriting in The Times, Allen Metcalf, author of OK: The Improbable Story of America’s Greatest Word, writes: “What OK provided that the others did not was neutrality(中性), a way to express agreement without having to offer an opinion.”For example, if someone asks you “Shall we go for a walk after lunch” you can simply respond “OK”. There you go – no extra opinions. Just straight, plain old OK.So just where did this rather curious expression come from The origins of OK have been widely disputed (辩论，争论). Some people have guessed that OK was the name of a person or a product.Speakers of many different language s have had their say on this question, keen to claim theterm as their own.Writing an article for London’s Metro newspaper, Metcalf states: ‘O and K are present in every language of the world, as expressions that can be abbreviated(缩写) OK.” For example: French –“O qu-oui”, “yes indeed”; German –“Ohne Korrektur”, “ without correction needed”; and in Latin or Greek, “Olla kalla”, “all good”.But, does it sound a little too informal with this popular little Array expressionApparently not.In a speech wh ere he stated that his election (当选) would not be aradical (激进的) result to all problems, President Obama said: “… eventhough I am president…, AI-Qaida is still a threat(威胁) and that wecannot pretend somehow that because Barack Hussein Obama got elected as president, suddenly everything’s going to be OK,” he said.So, there you go, straight from the president. It’s OK to say OK, and thanks to the expression’s widespread usage across the world, you can be understood anywhere.58. Using the example of Obama, the author wants to show that________.A. there is still a long way to go to defeat Al-QaidaB. Obama likes to use OK when he speaksC. OK is widely used even on formal occasionsD. the use of OK is encouraged informal speech59. According to Allen Metcalf, OK differs from other terms to express agreement, which ofthe following opinions is trueA. It is easiest way to say.B. It doesn’t need emotion.C. It is the most commonly used.D. It doesn’t use in the formal speech.60.

"Count your clubs," he told the teena ger.medalFifteen—one more than allowed. Zach's eyes filled with tears.If Zach had just won a basketball or a soccer game and someone had discovered an offence (违反) after the win, it would not have mattered.Bending the rules has become acceptable, if not encouraged, in many sports. It is nothing unusual for soccer players to make a turtle dive (假摔) in the hope of breaking rules.Golf is different. In a win at all costs world, the game holds itself to a higher standard.Golf isn't a game where referees (裁判) watch closely. In golf tournaments, dozens of competitors are spread across acres of land, so officials cannot hope to see each shot. Competitors call punishments on themselves.Players feel the weight of history. Golf began at least the 15th century, but it became popular as a pastime for the wealthy who seemed to always have strict rules of behavior, even when it came to shooting at each other in rights."It was a sport for gentlemen, not laborers, and gentlemen did not care about winning. They cared about doing the right thing," said Robert Simon, a golf coach at Hamilton College in New York.Honesty became a symbol of honor. When one of the game's early stars, Bobby Jones, was praised for calling a penalty on himself at the 1925 US Open. He replied, "You might as well praise a man for not robbing a bank."So even the error had no effect on Zach's final score—he never used the extra club, the teenager packed up his medal and dropped it in the mail. "But this was golf, and rules are rules. I just knew what I had to do," he said.Then came another tournament. Before teeing off, Zach counted his clubs four times.52.Zach Nash returned the medal he won in the junior tournament because________.A．he was caught cheating by a playerB．he decided to follow the rules of golfC．he used another player's club by mistakeD．he made a mistake counting his final score53. Which of the following statements about golf is TRUE according to the passageA．In golf, honor comes before win.B．Early golf players didn't care about the rules.C．Golf players usually do whatever it takes to win.D．Golf referees watch each shot and call punishments.54.

They are usually cheaper, lower in temperature conduction and provide better sense for holding food. That’s why almost all disposable (一次性的) chopsticks are made of bamboo or wood. With cutting down 25 million fully-grown trees a year to make chopsticks, China has ranked number one among the producers. “We must change our habitsand encourag e people to take their own chopsticks when eating out,” said Mr. Bo, the owner of a forestry industry company in China. He even wentso faras to suggest that restaurants should offer metal knives and forks instead. If Mr. Bo’s suggestion is widely accepted, it would be a dark moment in chopsticks’ 4,000-year history.Chopsticks were invented in ancient China and later spread around Asia. They are not only used as eating tools but also used for cooking, stirring the fire and serving food. Koreans sometimes use metal chopsticks because of their love of barbecue (烧烤). Chinese chopsticks are longer than Korean and Japanese chopsticks in order to reach the dishes in the center of the table. There are 1.4 billion people using 80 billion pairs of disposable chopsticks in China every year. However, the most widespread use of disposable chopsticks is in Japan. Around a total of 24 billion pairs are used in Japan each year, which means each Japanese uses almost 200 pairs yearly. However, most of its disposable chopsticks have been imported (进口) from China, up to over90%.Today, China has to accept the truth that its forests can no longer provide enough chopsticks to feed Asian’s table habit. China is now the world’s largest importer of wood and even imports chopsticks from America. An American company said that the state’s native swee t gum and poplar wood would be perfectly used to make chopsticks. These materials do not need to be lightened with chemicals or bleach (漂白粉). The healthy materials and fairly reasonable prices of the products are appealingto Asian customers. More and more Asians start to use American-made chopsticks at their tables.Although the U.S. has a huge amount of wood, which reduces the number of trees that are cut down in Asia, changing the table habit of using disposable chopsticks still seems to be a wiser choice for chopsticks-using countries.52. According to Paragraph 2, Mr. Bo’s advice is that Chinese should ____________.A. use metal chopsticks instead of wooden onesB. plant more trees and produce fewer chopsticksC. form the habit of taking t heir own chopsticks when eating outD. change their habits and begin to use knives and forks a t home53.

Time to Give UpUsing Chopsticks52-55 CＢＣＢ五．房山区2015年中考一模DHave you wondered why you have two eyes and why they are set close together on the front of your face The reasons are simple and important.Your eyes are like two small cameras. A camera catches an image（影像）of an object and records it on film. Similarly, when you look at something, each eye takes inwhat it sees and sends this image to the back of the eyeball. Because your eyes are set close together, they see the world from about the same height but from a little different angles(角度). While your right eye sees an object a little to the right, your left eye se es the same object a bit to the left.Working as a team, the eyes send the images to your brain, then your brain puts them together and you see a single image in the centre.Seeing in stereo means seeing with two eyes working together, which is called stereoscopic sight. This allows you to see the world in 3-D. Seeing depth（深度）helps you to judge how far it is between you and the objects you see, and then adjust （调整)to the changing angle so that you can see something clearly when you move closer or farther away. If images are coming from only one eye, however, height and width（宽度）—can be perceived.So if you see with one eye, you will geta2-D image, as in a photograph.Now consider why your two eyes are on the front of your face. Think of other animals just like you. They are all hunting（猎杀）animals, like lions and tigers. This provides a field of sight about 180 degree wide, which is called binocular sight. On the other hand, anim als that are hunted have eyes on the sides of the head, which provides nearly 360-degree field of sight. However, they don’t have stereoscopicsight. It is difficult for them to judge how far a danger is.With both stereoscopic and binocularsight, humansand hunting animals share the ability to see from side to side and tojudge how far it is from other objects. If you think it would be great to have another kind of sight, perhaps with hundreds of tiny eyes like many insects(昆虫) do, think again! Each tiny insect eye sees only a tiny part. Besides, what if you needed glasses Be glad for the eyesight that you have.52. In Paragraph 2, the writer wants to __________.A. tell us how our two eyes workB. show the importance of eyesC. compareour eyes with camerasD. suggest using two eyes properly53.The underlined word “perceived” in Paragraph 3means________.A. setB. takenC. seenD. made54. In the last paragraph, the writerthinks that “seeing in stereo” ______.A. is similar to the way a cameraworksB. is an ability humans are lucky to haveC. would be better for a wider field of sightD. helps people to have better sight than animals55. What is probably the best title for this passageA. Seeing in StereoB. Protecting your eyesC. Treasuring your eyesD. Seeing with eyes答案：52. A 53.C 54. B 55. A六．海淀区2015中考英语一模D“You expect your friends to see you in a positive manner, but they also are observers of the personalities that could cause you an early death,” said Joshua Jackson, an assistant professor of psychology in Arts & Sciences.Published in the journal Psychological Science, the study shows that your personality at an early age can predict how long you will live across 75 years and that close friends are usually better than you at recognizing these traits. “Our study s hows that people are able to observe and evaluate（评价）a friend’s personality exactly enough to predict early death years down the road,” Jackson said. “It suggests that people are able to see important characteristics related to health even when their frien ds were, for the most part, healthy and many years from death.”While other studies have shown that a person’s view of his or her own personality can be helpful in evaluating death risks, there has been little research on whether a close friend’s personali ty evaluation might also predict the chances of a long life.To explore this question, Jackson and colleagues analyzed data（数据）from a longitudinal study that in the 1930s began following a group of young people in their mid-20s. The study included wide-ranging data on participant（参与者）personalities, both self-reported and as reported by close friends.Using information from follow-up studies and searches of death certificates（证书）, Jackson and colleagues were able to record dates of death for all but a few study participants. Peer（同龄人）evaluations of personality were stronger predictors of death risks than were self-evaluations of personality.“There are two possible reasons for the advantage of peer evaluations over self- evaluations,” Jackson said. “First, fr iends may see something that you miss; they may have some insight that you do not. Second, because people have several friends, we are able to average the characteristics of any one friend to get a more trustworthy evaluation of personality. With self-reports, people may miss certain sides of themselves and we are not able to counteract（抵抗）that because there is only one you, only one self-report.”The study also shows some gender differences in self-evaluation: Men’s self-evaluations of personality were somewhat useful in predicting their lifespans（寿命）, whereas the self-reports of women had little predictive value.“This is one of the longe st studies in psychology,” Jackson said. “It shows how important personality is in influencing important life outcomes like health, and that information from friends can play a critical role in understanding a person’s health issues.52. What can we learn from Paragraph 2A. People’s hea lth is related to their friends.B. Friends can predict lifespans better than us.C. An early personality evaluation helps us live longer.D. The study shows most people can live across 75 years.53. The underlined word “insight” in Paragraph 6 probably means “_______”.A. adviceB. influenceC. imaginationD.understanding54. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passageA. People with more close friends have better personalities.B. Self-evaluations have advantages over peer evaluations.C. Men predict their lifespans more exactly than women.D. The findings are based on participants’ disease data.55. What can we infer from the last paragraphA. Friends’ personality evaluations can help recognize health risks.B. Best friends play an important role in treating certain diseases.C. Psychology studies may influence personality development.D. Personality has little important effect on people’s health.答案：52. B 53. D 54. C 55. A七：怀柔区 2015年中考一模DMost of us say that God, or destiny or whatever superior force that may exist in this universe （宇宙）is what makes us our future and guides us throughout our existence.I don’t claim there isn’t such a force that can guide us and take care of us, but the main element(要素) that helps us build up our future is our way of being. Our personality, our character, our way of perceiving（感知）reality and everything that surrounds us are what may bring us to the top, or opposite it, make us miserable.It’s simply your own choice if you don’t want to study, go to college or have a career. It really doesn’t matter if your parents threaten you, punish you or scold（责骂）you all the time. If you stick to be yourself and you think you know it all, then these are useless.You are the one who decides what job to have, in which city or country to live. It’s your choice and your responsibility. The moment you get hurt or something goes wrong, you blame yourself, and you start everything from the very beginning.You con sider that you can’t find your place in your own country, so you risk the comfortable but modest（谦虚的）life you have with your parents and you go abroad. Maybe there will be moments when you can’t stand any more the loneliness, the strangers around you, or your job. But remember that nobody made you take that decision, so you have to take a deep breath, and then go on, as it’s very difficult to find a guilty person when you know it well that you are the only one to be blamed.If you fall in love with a man from the very first moment you set your eyes on him and you don’t want to meet somebody else, to see how they are, it’s your wish. If you get married and the marriage ends in a year’s time, you can’t blame the rest as they all have told you to be careful and never to take hasty （轻率的）decisions.You play the Lottery each day and there are two choices: each you hit the jack pot and your life changes totally or you lose and you have to restart it from the very beginning. It’s known that if you don’t risk,you can’t win. So the best solution is always to think over your decisions, and to see what they can represent in your future. Only afterwords is proper for you to make up your mind.You are the only architect（建筑师）of your future. The best are only workerswho help you create your own dream.52. All the following build up our way of being EXCEPT __________.A. our characterB. our existenceC. our personalityD. our way of perceiving reality53. The underlined word “miserable”in Paragraph 2 can be replaced by “________”A. unhappyB. lonelyC. positiveD. careful54. Which of the following is NOT right according to the writer’s opinionA. You meet difficulties when you go abroad, but you should take a deep breath and go on.B. You must think it over before you make a decision for yourself.C. You get hurt after you choose to live in another city, but you blame your parents.D. You cannot make too fast decision before you marry a person.55. What is the best title for the passageA. Character Influences LifeB. A Good Beginning is Half DoneC. Stick to What is Right for UsD. Every Man Is the Architect of His Future答案：52-55 BACD八．门头沟区2014~2015学年度初三一模DDo American children still learn handwriting in Array school In the age of the keyboard, some people seemto think handwriting lessons are on the way out. 90%of teachers say they are required to teach handwriting.But studies have yet to answer the question of howwell they are teaching it. One of this year’s studiesfound that about three out of every four teachers saythey are not prepared to teach handwriting. Someteachers are teaching handwriting by providing instruction for 10 to 15 minutes a day, and then other teachers who basically teach it for 60 to 70 minutes a day — which really for handwriting is pretty much.Many adults remember learning that way —by copying letters over and over again. Today’s thinking is that short periods of practice are better. Many experts(专家) also think handwriting should not be taught by itself. Instead, they say it should be used as a way to get students to express ideas. After all, that is why we write.Handwriting involves two skills. One is legibility, which means forming the letters so they can be read. The other is fluency(流畅) — writing without having to think about it. Fluency continues to develop up until high school.But not everyone masters these s kills. Teachers commonly report that about onefourth of their kids have poor handwriting. Some people might think handwriting isnot important any more because of computers and voice recognition programs.But Steve Graham at Vanderbilt says word processing is seldom done in primary school, especially in the early years. American children traditionally first learn to print, and then to write in cursive, which connects the letters. But guess what we learned from a spokeswoman for the College Board(大学委员会). More than 75 percent of students choose to print their essay(article) on the test rather than write in cursive.52. From Paragraph 1 we can learn .A. teaching handwriting is a basic requirement in the teaching jobB. most teachers prefer to teach handwritingC. teachers spend little time in teaching handwritingD. a keyboard has taken the place of the handwriting53. Which of the following is WRONG for traditional handwriting in the USAA. Handwriting includes two skills.B. To write in cursive is taught first.C. The letters are repeated many times.D. The students are taught by practicing a long period.54. The underlined word “legibility” in Paragraph 3 means .A. easy to readB. easy to writeC. unexpectedD. unreadable55. The best title for the passage is .A. How to Improve Handwriting in SchoolB. Right or Wrong: the Death of HandwritingC. Handwriting Involves Two SkillsD. Handwriting Lessons Are on the Way Out答案：52.

B九．平谷区2014-2015学年度初三统练（一）DTo stop the childhood obesity epidemic(流行), health experts have long strongly advised parents to make healthy changes to their family's lifestyle—such as eating healthily, reducing TV time, exercising and getting a good night's sleep.These behaviors have been linked to a lower risk of obesity in kids, but researchers at Ohio State University were interested in learning whether their effect might be cumulative—that is, whether families who adopted(采用) not just one but two or more of these behaviors could reduce their children's risk of obesity even further.Led by Sarah Anderson, researchers studied data on 8,550 children in a national study, and found that indeed children who practiced two healthy lifestyle behaviors were slimmer than those who adopted only one behavior, while youngsters who implemented three beneficial habits were theleast likely to be overweight."If children had all three practices, their risk(风险) of obesity was 40% lower than children whohad none of the routines(常规)." Anderson says.The three behaviors that Anderson studied were eating dinner regularly with the family, limitingthe amount of time in front of the TV, and getting enough sleep. The children who were leastlikely to be too fat ate dinner with their families six or seven times a week, slept for at least 10.5 hours each night and watched less than two hours of television per day.The findings suggest that adopting these routines can be a powerful way for families to encourage healthy weight in their children, Anderson says.In addition, says Dr. David Ludwig, director of the Optimal Weight for Life Program, the routines are relatively easy for most families to adopt. "This is a beautifully simple study. It makes a very important point, and one that needs to be noticed time and again. These are all behaviors that are within the reach of us all."53. What does the underlined word "implemented" in Paragraph 3 probably meansA．Chose B．Supported C．Practiced D．Broke54. What can you infer from the passageA. Anderson studied more behaviors than three.B. Dr. David Ludwig agreed for Sarah Anderson.C. It’s not easy for us all to adopt all behaviors.D. The more practices children had, the lower risk of obesity there was.55. Which might be the best title for the passageA．Three Habits Help Kids Be Slimmer B．How to Lead a Good LifestyleC．It Is Not Easy to Be Slim D．How to Keep Kids off TV答案：53-55 C BA十．石景山区2015年初三英语一模试卷DWhen you meet someone for the first time, you will get a general idea in your mind of that person in the first moment. Your feelings about other people, however, are really just show the way that you look at yourself. Your reactions to others say more about you than they do about others. You cannot really love or hate about yourself. We are usually drawn to those who are most like us and may dislike those who have the same characters as ourselves that we dislike.Therefore, you can allow others to be the mirror to see more clearly your own feelings of self-worth. And, you can view the people you judge negatively (否定地) as mirrors to show you what you are not accepting about yourself.To live peacefully with others, you will need to learn patience. A big challenge is to let your judgment of others be a lifelong research of yourself. Your task is to consider all the decisions and judgments you make onto others carefully and to begin to see whether you can use them to help yourself and become whole.Several days ago I had a business lunch with a man who showed objectionable table manners. My first feeling was to judge him as rude. When I noticed that I was judging him, I stopped and asked myself what I was feeling. I discovered that I was nervous to be seen with someone who was eating with his mouth open and loudly blowing his nose. I was very surprised to find how much I cared about how the other people in the restaurant judged me.Remember that your judgment of someone will not serve as some kind of protective thing against you becoming like him. Just because I judge my lunch partner as rude, it does not prevent me from ever looking or acting like him. In the same way, my patience to him would not cause me to suddenly begin eating my food with my mouth open.When you get close to life in this manner, those with whom you hate very much as well as those whom you admire and love can be seen as mirrors, guiding you to discover parts of yourself that you dislike and to embrace your greatest characters you are proud of.【】52. In the writer’s opinion, when we judge others, we are really ______.A. treating them in a polite wayB. showing what we ourselves areC. guiding ourselves to know themD. telling them what they should do 【】53. Why did the writer feel bad when he was with his lunch partnerA. Because he was afraid he himself might get the bad habits.。

Hello, everyone! I’d like to say something about westerners. Many westerners often talk about their families when they meet. They have very close relations so they like to talk about their families. However, it doesn’t mean that every foreigner over 25 or 30 is married and has children. Some westerners never marry at all, and others marry quite late. So before asking questions about their families, look at people’s hands to see if they are wearing a ring and which finger the ring is on. But some married women and men may not wear rings. So when you start a conversation with either men or women about the family, it is much safer to use more general questions such as “Do you have a large family?”“Is your family with you here?”.三、听独白，根据所听到的独白内容和卡片上的提示词语，将所缺的关键信息填写在答题卡的相应位置上。
