Reading comprehension:(共50分)A.Choose the best answer: (12分)I used to hunt and killed quite a few deer. There was great excitement in waiting and shooting.One cold morning in winter, I went alone to a hillside. I carried my gun, some hot coffee, and three thick sandwiches.I found a natural hiding place, cleared the snow and settled down. It was very cold, but I had warm clothing on. I sat there waiting for about an hour. Nothing showed. I ate two sandwiches and drank a little coffee. The place was really quiet.Suddenly, a big beautiful buck（雄鹿）appeared less than 20 feet away from me. There was no cover near him. Surely I couldn't miss. The fact that I couldn't miss made me wait for him to realize I was there, I waited for him to run with a start.To my surprise, he came towards me! He was curious (妤奇的), I suppose, or maybe he was stupid. He must have known about men and their guns, for this was no youngster (幼小动物), but a fully grown-up one. However, this buck came closer, and I still waited. He kept putting one foot before the other. His big eyes never moved from my face. His wonderful head with antlers（鹿角）was clearly in sight.I was getting a bit nervous now. A big buck can do a lot of damage. Well, he walked right up to where I was sitting. Then he stopped and looked at me!What happened next is hard to believe. But it all seemed quite natural. I reached up (问前伸手) and scratched his head right between the antlers. And he liked it. That big, wild, beautiful buck bent（使…弯曲）his head. He actually asked for more.I scratched his head and body. His nose touched my shoulder. I fed him my last sandwich.Well, he finally went his way, down the hill. Shot him? Not me. You wouldn't have either, not after that. I just watched him go-a strong buck carrying a proud head.I picked up my gun, and started walking back. Suddenly, I heard the shots(开枪)-two of them. If you've hunted much, you know two shots, one after the other, which mean a kill. I had forgotten that there were other hunters around.You will understand why I gave up hunting from that day on.69. One cold morning, the writer hid in a ________ place to wait.A) clean B) warm C) quiet D) beautiful70. The underlined word ‘start' in paragraph 4 means .A) the beginning of the hunt B) a sudden movement of the bodyC) a signal to move D) something surprising71. When the buck came closer, the writer became a bit nervous because_________.A) it was his first time to see such a big buckB) it was a fully grown-up buckC) it knew a lot about the hunter and his gunD) it can do a lot of damage72. What made the writer feel hard to believe?A) The buck liked being scratched on its head by him.B) The buck didn't do any harm to him.C) The buck kept looking at him for a long time.D) The buck liked eating his sandwich.73. In the author's opinion, the two shots means ___________.A) there were other hunters around thenB) someone started hunting animalsC) the buck was killedD) some children were learning to shoot74. The best title of this passage is __________.A) The Day I Stopped Hunting B) An Unusual Hunting DayC) Great Excitement in Shooting D) To Give Up Hunting or NotB. Cboose the words or expressions and complete the passage: (12分)For thousands of years, no other country has been as mysterious (神秘的) to the world as this one.

It looks similar to our oracle bone inscriptions（甲骨文）．Their characters influenced many others _ 78 the Latin alphabet we use today.When it comes to medical science, Egyptians left us mummies, which we explore to see how they kept a dead body preserved(随腐的) for such a long time. Egyptians covered bodies with a special salt called natron. This makes the body 79 , which keeps it looking lifelike. Some mummies are more than 2,000 years old.Today, this land of mysteries still attracts many people. Most of them want to get a taste of the great pyramids. Scientists have found more than 130 pyramids in Egypt, according to National Geographic. The 80 is the Great Pyramid of Khufu in Giza.

Read the passage and fdl in the blanks with proper words: (14分)Self reflection means slowing down and calming yourself, including calming your mind. By being calm and going slowly you give your brain a chance to evaluate（评价）the input (输入) it has already r____81_____.Some people prefer to do these self reflections only in their mind. Others keep a journal(杂志) or written notes. Either method works, depending on your personal learning. Whether written or mental(精神上的), the process is the same.School t _____82_____are often divided into chapters and units of study.

Look for the times when you complete a unit of study in the subjects you are leaming, such as math, social studies, science and art. Sometimes you know the unit is o_____83_____ because there is some kind of test or quiz. Use these natural breaks as chances to stop and reflect. Find a quiet place. You can even be sitting at your d_____84______ at school when you finish something early and the other students are still working. If you are going to take notes, take out paper or your reflection journal. Write down some notes on the new things that you l (85) in the unit. Let your mind think about the notes you have written and make some connections. Sometimes just pausing (暂停）to think deeply allows your brain to make connections. Having lots of connections allows your brain to q (86) retrieve（检索）information when you need it again.Next, think about things that you are unsure of. For example, maybe you learned a new way to solve a math problem, but you're not sure when to use it. Writing down your questions will help you remember to look for answers the next time you are working with the s (87) topic.Self reflection is an essential skill for a successful student.

Recently, a bike-sharing project has been introduced by some start-ups(新兴公司) like Ofo and Mobike.

How could this happen? People used to think that hard work is the only way to success. But now they understand that smart work can make them successful, too.Hard workers don’t m 2 working for long hours, while smart workers always think of several different answers to these questions. “Why should I suffer this?” “Isn’t there a better way to do this?” Thanks to these people, we can use computers instead of the abacus now. P 3 every field is the direct result of “try to find a better way” by smart workers.There was a large soap factory in Japan. Once it received an unusual letter from someone whoc 4 that there was no soap in the soapbox he bought.How could empty soapbox go out of the factory? The engineers checked the producing and packing. The producing was fine, but in about one in ten thousand cases, the packing machines let an empty soapbox go. There was no need to spend a lot of money repairing the machine for such a small problem. The engineer soon worked out a s 5 . He put a large X- ray machine and two large computers to find out the empty soapbox. A 6 teaching the workers how to use it, he sat down in his seat, exhausted.“Sir, we could have solved the problems in a much simpler and cheaper way.” A worker said.“Really? How?” “We can put a huge fan near the packing machine. The wind coming from the fan will blow away the empty boxes and leave the other o 7 with soap. There would be no need for an X- ray machine, two computers, and operating by workers.See, this is smart work. In order to succeed, we should not only learn from the engineers’ hard work, but also think smart like the workers.1____________ 2_____________ 3_______________ 4_____________5____________ 6_____________ 7_______________知识点三：作文之英语学习写作-英语学习1.主题词汇different kinds of 不同种类的bring me joy 带给我快乐obtain knowledge 获得知识chat with sb 与某人聊天future study 更深程度地学习come true 实现have opportunities 有机会one of the subjects 学科之一in the modern world 在当今世界make a contribution to 为……做出贡献encourage sb. to do sth 鼓励某人做某事try one’s best尽某人最大的牡蛎go abroad 去国外put one’s heart into 用心去做communicate with sb 与某人交流catch up with 赶上…….get ready for 为……准备好last but not least 最后但同样重要地as often as possible 尽可能地2.常用句型1.There’s nothing difficult if you put your heart into it.2.I think it is important and necessary for everyone to learn English.3.The better English you speak, the more chances you will get.4.More and more people prefer to learn English rather than learn other languages.5.…encourages more people to learn …6.Learning English well is good for our future.7.If you are good at English you can make a contribution to …8.They want to learn English well so that they can go to a good high school.9.There are more and more people learning English.10.I often take lots of notes in every class, and try my best to memorize them.

On the last day, we wanted to go up a mountain near the camp. But it was already lunchtime, and it had been raining all morning. So Peter, our guide, said, “Sorry, guys, the weather is just too bad. We can’t go.” At first, we were really disappointed. Then one of my friends had an idea. “Why don’t we go anyway?” he said, “Peter won’t notice, and we’ll be back before it gets dark.” Five minutes later we were ready to leave. “We made good progress. We’ll be at the top of the mountain in an hour,” we thought. But then the weather changed. It became foggy, and the rain became much stronger. Suddenly, we realized that we had lost our way. Luckily, I had my mobile phone on me. We phoned Peter. He told us to stay where we were. When he found us, it was already dark. We were really sorry. We had made a big mistake.D.

阅读回答问题Answer the questions (根据短文内容回答问题)Eric was standing in front of a large grey house in the countryside. He had just been dropped off by his mum, who left after telling him that he was going to spend the next twelve days there with no TV, no mobile phone and — worse of all — no computer.Suddenly, a man appeared at the entrance of the house. When he saw Eric, he went up to him immediately. ‘You must be Eric. Welcome to the camp,’ said the man confidently. ‘I’m Tony, the camp leader, but you will call me “Sir”. Now tell me why you’re here.’Eric quickly replied, ‘My mum made me come!’ When Tony looked at him angrily and did not say anything, Eric realized his mistake and added, ‘Sir!’‘And do you know why your mother sent you here?’ asked Tony.‘She thinks I spend too much time online. Sir,’ answered Eric. ‘It’s not just her opinion — it’s the truth! Look at you — pale, unfit, and definitely not getting enough sleep. You’re here because you think the virtual world is much better than the real world. But you’re wrong! The real world has much more to offer. At the camp, you’re going to go hiking, rowing, rock-climbing and stay outdoors most of the time,’ promised Tony.Eric’s heart sank.‘But it’s not going to be all fun and games,’ Tony continued. ‘We have rules here. If you break them, you’ll get punished. But you won’t simply get detention (课后留校), and you can forget about suspension (停学) — you’ll never be sent home early! Instead, you’ll clean the toilets, wash the dishes or do an extra hour of exercise!’‘Oh Mum,’ sighed Eric. ‘What have you got me into?’1．Did Eric’s mother send him to the camp?_____________________________________________________2．Where did Eric meet the camp leader?_____________________________________________________3．Why did Tony look at Eric angrily?_____________________________________________________4．What does the underlined sentence “Eric’s heart sank.” mean?_____________________________________________________5．The camp in the passage was a place with both fun and rules, wasn’t it?_____________________________________________________6．What changes might Eric have after the camp?

(根据短文内容回答下列问题)A Backcountry AdventureSunday, July l0thWe are back from our three-day camping trip to the Shenandoah Valley. Mom and Dad had been worried about our family’s reliance on computers, cell phones, and video games for entertainment. So they decided a camping trip would help us overcome our dependence on electronic devices. I knew we’d have to be resilient (适应力强的) in order to find a way to survive without the comforts of home.When you camp in the backcountry, you could only bring necessities that you needed to survive, such as food, clothes, a camp stove, fuel, rope, a map, and a water container. At first, I was surprised that we weren’t bringing bottled water with us. Then my heavy, overstuffed backpack made me realize we’d soon use up any supply we could carry. Instead, we’d have to boil water from nearby streams.Our first day in the wild was out of expectation. We scrabbled up rocky paths and waded in an ice-cold stream. Colourful wildflowers waved at us. I felt like I had stepped into a dreamypainting. After all that exercise, an intense hunger burned in my stomach. Mom’s homemade snacks had never tasted so good.At night, the darkness seemed like a black curtain. I tried to read with an electric torch, but I couldn’t concentrate. I finally fell asleep to a chorus of chirping crickets (蟋蟀鸣叫声中).By our last day, I had blistered (长水泡的) feet and bug-bitten arms. I was ready to go home.I couldn’t wait to play computer games. But a funny thing happened. Soon after I started my favorite game, I lost the interest. So I walked outside to get some fresh air. Mom and Dad’s plan had worked after all. Right then I decided to spend more time outdoors.13．The author spent three days camping with his parents, didn’t he?____________________________________________________14．Why did they start the camping trip?____________________________________________________15．What did they take with them on the trip?____________________________________________________16．How did the author feel about the scenery in the wild?____________________________________________________17．List two difficulties the author met with during the camping trip.____________________________________________________18．What does the author mean by saying “Mom and Dad’s plan had worked after all.”?____________________________________________________Answer the questions (根据短文内容回答下列问题)Far away across the sea lies a country called Holland. Holland is a very low country, and it lies close to the ocean. Nothing but the strong dykes (堤坝) keep the angry waves away from the very doors of the houses in Holland. People must carefully guard the strong sea walls. They know that their homes and their lives would be in danger from the water of the sea if the dykes were broken.One day, a little boy named Peter was playing in the garden by his home in Holland when his mother called him. “Peter,” she said, “I want you to carry this basket of cheese to your grandmother. Go straight upon your way, without playing. You must be back home before supper.”Peter took the basket that held the cheese, and went on his way. He did not stop to gather thepretty flowers that grew by the wayside, nor to play with the boys who called to him from the field. He did what he was told, and soon he reached his grandmother’s house.It was already almost dark. He left his basket, gave his grandmother a kiss and left to go home. His path lay beside the dyke. In the quiet evening air, he heard a sound which made his heartbeat quick and fast. Peter knew the meaning of the fearful sound. It meant that 83 .Before morning, even before Peter could get men to help, the water would be pouring over the land. What could a boy do? Quickly, he ran to the spot from which the water trickled (滴、淌). He pushed his hand into the hole in the dyke. Then he called aloud for help. He listened. No answer came to his call, but he could hear that the water was no longer dripping. It became dark. He became too tired to call for help…People found him in the morning, pale and faint, but bravely holding to his post. “He has saved us all!” they said. “Thank God! He was a brave boy.”19．Holland lies close to the ocean, doesn’t it?__________________________________________20．What would happen if the strong dykes were broken?__________________________________________21．What was Peter told to carry to his grandmother?__________________________________________22．How did Peter get to his grandmother’s house?__________________________________________23．How did Peter stop the water from pouring over the land?__________________________________________24．What can be filled in the blank?__________________________________________Answer the questions (根据短文内容回答下列问题)Working as a part-time assistant in a shop is a way for young people to earn some extramoney. For me, it is more than twenty dollars per hour.Like other eighteen-year-old girls, I chose to work in a clothing shop. On the first day, I was trained to fold and organize platform after platform of clothes. The work didn’t seem easy to me because everything had to be done in an accurate way. I felt a little impatient because I couldn’t get it right the first couple of times. The manager told me not to be impatient and taught me skills on how to finish the work well. After hundreds of tries, I had the clothes folded perfectly. Then it took me thirty minutes to get them all looking uniform. Now, I fold and organize clothes in the shop every day, and I am able to do them well. Through this experience, I’ve learned patience can help me in the work.Helping customers and connecting with them are the things I love most in the shop. About three weeks ago, I helped an old lady who was looking for a special dress. She told me exactly what she was picturing—a blue dress with long sleeves and a lace neck. We didn’t have any such dress, and when I explained that to her, she wasn’t very happy. Instead of getting impatient, I tried getting to learn about her interest first. We shared our love of the fashion show. I also asked her what the dress was for, so I could help her get the clothes she liked. Everything I did worked. She found other items she liked and finally bought some new blouses and jeans worth of $300. This experience has taught me how to meet customers’ needs.I’ve experienced frustrations and challenges in the work. To do well, I must learn to deal with them. The work experience changed me a lot and helped me in other aspects of my life as well. 25．How old was the writer when she worked in a clothing shop?____________________________________________26．Why did the writer think the work was difficult?____________________________________________27．Who gave the writer a hand and taught her how to finish the work well?____________________________________________28．What was the old lady looking for at first?____________________________________________29．How did the writer manage to meet the customers’ needs in Paragraph 3?____________________________________________30．According to the writer, what changes could help her in other aspects of her life?(No morethan 15 words)____________________________________________参考答案1．Yes./Yes, she did.2．At the entrance of the house.3．Because Eric forgot to call him“Sir”./Because Eric said impolitely4．It means Eric lost hope.

This person is a hero because he or she has done something to help protect animals in danger. Huang Jing decided to write a letter to the President of China.Dear Mr. President,I have been doing a project at school recently about animals in danger. I think the situationall over the world is really awful. I am writing to you to suggest what China should do to helpprotect animals more.I know that there are nearly 2,000 nature reserves (保护区) in China, which is good. I livein Beijing and there are about 30 reserves outside the city. We visited one of them last monthto see for ourselves.I feel so sorry for the giant panda. It’s one of the most popularanimals in the world and a real symbol of China. We learned that pandasmainly live on bamboo, and that a panda can eat half its body weight ofbamboo in 24 hours! That’s a lot of bamboo. I think we should try to domore to stop cutting down their forests. Pandas are already a rare animal and it would be so sad if they became extinct (灭绝) forever.The other animal we should try to protect more is the Chinese alligator(扬子鳄). These creatures live in some parts of eastern China. Thesebeautiful animals live in freshwater rivers and lakes but the water in someplaces isn’t clean enough for them to live in. It’s really dirty in fact. Thegovernment should stop factories polluting the lakes and rivers.If we protect these beautiful animals in China, more people may wish to visit China to see them. They could be an important tourist attraction. It would be good if more people came tovisit our beautiful country, especially to see the quieter areas in the country. Now most visitorsjust see the cities.I hope you will encourage more people to think about such an important subject.Sincerely yours,Huang Jing93.

Answer the questions（根据短文内容回答下列问题): (12分)Super SingersImagine yourself singing in front of an audience, performing in other countries, and having your music put on a CD! All this excitement isn’t just for rock stars. Joining a children’s chorus gives kids the chance to do these exciting activities. What does it take to get into a children’s chorus? You don’t need years of singing lessons. You just need to have a love for singing and be willing to learn and follow directions.It all starts at the audition(试唱). The choirmaster, or conductor, will have you sing with a group of kids. As the group sings, the conductor listens to how your voice comes together. You’ll also probably be asked to sing by yourself. The conductor wants to figure out what type of voice you have. A girl with a high voice is a soprano while a girl with a low voice is an alto. A boy with a high voice is a tenor, while a boy with a low voice is a bass. When the whole chorus sings together, the different types of voices sing different notes to the same song. This is called “singing parts”.Once you pass the audition, you might be assigned to a specific group. Beginning singers are often grouped together in a “Treble Chorus”. More advanced singers might be in a “Concert Chorus”. Different choirs have different names for these groups. No matter which group you’re in, you’ll need to go to rehearsals. Most children’s choirs rehearse once a week.93. What do you need to join a children’s chorus?_____________________________________________________.94.

2021年上海牛津版中考冲刺-回答问题类阅读理解专项练习（一）Helen Monson has always been interested in helping her community. Her first volunteer experience was for the American Red Cross when she was in high school. When she was a school teacher, she also found time to volunteer. One year, she organized a Super Saturday Fun Day for kids in the community. She also used to volunteer at the Mint Festival every year. One summer, she served food, another year she organized an art programme.After she retired, she started volunteering to help the old. When her father was older, he was not able to see as well as he used to, which made her sad because he had always enjoyed reading. She decided it would be fun to read to elderly people in her community. She also helped one woman write her stories. Ann was almost 100 years old, and Helen wrote down information about her life when she visited her. She put the information in a book and got it published. Ann was very excited to share her life story with her children and her grandchildren.After a hurricane(飓风) destroyed some southern cities, Helen volunteered again for the American Red Cross. She prepared food and answered phones in a care centre. She says, “I have always liked the Red Cross because the organization helps people in need no matter what.”One day, Helen read an article in the newspaper about refugees(难民) who needed to learn English. Now, she meets once a week with Sahra, a 38-year-old woman, from Somalia. Sahra is living and working in a town about 30 minutes’ walk from where Helen lives. They work on reading and writing skills. Helen gave Sahra a camera and asked her to take pictures of her daily life. She developed the pictures, and then asked Sahra questions about them.

"This old saying is quite meaningful for British sculptor（雕刻家）Willard. The items he creates are so small that most of them fit on the head of a pin. You can see them clearly only through a microscope（显微镜）.Many people want to own his art pieces. He's been honored by the Queen of England for his great art achievements. At every one of his exhibitions, the question is always the same. How does he do it?The answer is very, very carefully. So carefully, in fact, that he actually slows his breathing down and works in between breaths. Willard usually works under a microscope using special tools that he creates. To paint his works, he uses the hair from a fly as a paintbrush.Creating these detailed works is a very long and difficult process, and it isn't always enjoyable." It is a terrible dream when I start but a nice dream when I finish," he says. A single item can take at least several weeks to complete.People have asked Willard why he chose to do something that needed effort and took time. His interest in creating small things began when he was five. He started creating houses and playgrounds for ants. Willard was not a strong student. He had difficulty in reading and spelling words. Some kids used to call him a loser. This made him feel small, so focusing on lite things helped him to feel big. The smaller his work got, the bigger he felt.

Believe me，you won't like it!☀Don't judge people by their looks.Someone could be bad-looking and still be nice.Katie，age 13Life is like a"choose your own ending"book-you can take whatever adventures（冒险）you want.
