九年级期末复习阅读理解训练一、阅读单选Buying Is Doing?How important is shopping to you? How much time do you spend buying things? And how much time do you spend organizing these things in your home? In the future, how much time will you spend in movie theaters, at amusement parks, at shopping malls, or at convenience stores? When you add it all up, you will robably see you spend a lot of your life consuming (消费) things. Consuming products is not necessarily bad. However, if we spend too much time doing it, we should look at it carefully.Imagine that you have a week off from school. You don't have to go to class. However, in this week, you cannot spend any money—no shopping, no movies, no eating out. How would you spend your time? What things would bring you happiness? Perhaps you would take a walk with your best friend. Perhaps you would help a child read. Or you might spend time with your family.When we look back, it is likely that non-consuming experiences like these will be our most important memories. Why? Non-consuming activities are active, not passive. They don't come in a package. You make the experience yourself. For example, each person who reads to a child will have a different experience. The experience changes with the reader, the child, and the book. Similarly,when you have a conversation with a friend, you are actively creating an experience. The conversation that you have with your friend cannot be experienced or recreated by anyone else. However, if you watch a movie with a friend, you will each have a packaged experience. It requires no action and little interaction between the two of you.The environment we live in encourages us to have packaged experiences. We feel that we must consume because we believe that buying is doing. However, we can start a personal revolution(变革) against consumerism. How? By consuming less. We can ask ourselves what experiences bring us the greatest satisfaction. Then we can organize our lives so that we have more of those kinds of experiences.1.If consuming products takes too much time, we should_______.A.spend less money B.think about it carefullyC.organize our things2.According to the passage, the writer believes that_________.A.we can say no to consumerism by consuming lessB.buying things can bring us the greatest satisfactionC.the environment seldom influences our shopping choices3.The word “those kinds of experiences” in the last sentence means________.A.consuming experiencesB.Non-consuming experiencesC.Experiences that bring us great satisfaction4.What is the writer’s main purpose in writing this passage?A.To introduce some ways of enjoying our spare time.B.To encourage people to have more active experiences.C.To explain reasons behind people's shopping behavior.In a village in Uganda, a woman named Fatima ran a small store. She sold food and other useful items. However, she had trouble making enough money to keep the shelves stocked (储存的). To stay in business, Fatima got a microfinance loan—a small total of money from a person in another country. It was just enough for her to buy a cell phone. She let villagers make calls using her phone and charged them some money for each call. This helped her make enough money to keep her shelves stocked with items. Fatima then used the money to send her children to school and improved their lives, as well as her own.Microfinance is the practice of giving small loans to people in need. Most microfinance loans are for less than two hundred dollars. The loans are used to start or enlarge a small business, such as catching fish, raising chickens or selling produce. Lenders are willing to make these loans because most of the people who receive them are very likely (可能的)to repay the loans.Microfinance loans are important for several reasons. The businesses that these loans support often provide needed services or goods to their communities. Also, many of the people who receive microfinance loans cannot get money any other way. Although they have to pay a rate (比率)of interest on the money they borrow, the rate is lower than if they borrowed from a local moneylender.It doesn’t seem like such a small total of money could make a big difference, but microfinance loans have been shown to help improve some people's lives and put new life into the communities like Fatima's.5.Why did Fatima get a microfinance loan?A.To manage her small store.B.To buy a cell phone for her neighborC.To help the villagers make money.D.To afford her children's education.6.What can we learn about microfinance?A.It supports poor people for free.B.It offers big loans to people in need.C.It helps small businesses a lot.D.It provides needed goods for local people.7.What does the underlined word " interest " in Paragraph 3 probably mean in Chinese?A.盈利B.红利C.利润D.利息8.From the text, we can infer (推断出)that __________________.A.Fatima is the richest woman in her communityB.Few people in Fatima's village have cell phonesC.Microfinance will provide money for big companiesD.Most borrowers can hardly repay the loans9.What would be the best title for the text?A.A Little Can Go a Long WayB.Small Businesses Make a Big DifferenceC.A Cell Phone Brings a Better LifeD.Microfinance Loans Build a New WorldMore and more children have to stay at home alone today. It is important for them to know how to keep themselves safe when they are at home alone. If you are one of them, you should remember the following rules:Arrive your homeWhen you come home, you should check the doors and windows to see if they are broken.★If everything is OK, go inside and lock the door quickly. Remember: never leave your key in the lock and keep the door always closed.★If something seems strange, or someone may be in the house, you should go to your neighbor’s house and call the police and your parents.Answer the doorIn some families, the rule is not to answer the door, but I think ignoring(忽视)the doorbell is not a good idea because sometimes bad people ring doorbells to see if anyone’s at home.★If someone knocks at the door, you should identify the visitor before you open the door. Are they your parents’ friends or relatives? Or are they strangers who you never know?★You can ask, “Yes, who is that?” looking through the keyhole to find out who it is and what he or she wants. If you don’t know the person very well, don’t open the door or give out any information about your family.★If you know the person or if the person says your parents asked him or her to stop by, call your parents and check.★If the person at the door has come to deliver a package or make a repair and you were not told to expect it, do not let him or her in. If you are expecting a delivery or repair person, ask him or her to slip an ID card under the door.★If the visitor wants to speak to your parents , you should say “Mum’s having a shower ”or “Dad’s having a sleep” and offer to take a message.10.The passage is for_________.A.parents B.children C.the old D.the sick11.What should you do first when you come home?A.Knock the door quickly.B.Go to the neighbor’s house.C.Check the doors and windows.D.Call your family and tell them you are at home.12.The underlined word “ identify ” probably means_______.A.ask where the visitors come from B.see whether you know the visitorC.find out how old the visitor is D.make sure the visitor knows you13.What is the purpose of the last rule in the passage?A.Not to let the visitor see your parents.B.Not to let your parents know someone is at the door.C.Not to trouble your parents when are busy.D.Not to let the visitor know you are at home alone.Nowadays,phone calls and messages help us make regular contact(联系) with others.It means that we seldom write letters now.But a TV show,Letters Alive(《见字如面》),is bringing back this old habit.Letters Alive invites famous actors and actresses,but there are not funny jokes or different competitions.Instead,it's just one person walking up to a microphone and reading a letter.The letters were written by people from different times in history.For example,in one episode(集),they read a letter written by famous writer Xiao Hong to her younger brother in 1941.The letter shows that Xiao Hong missed her brother so much and had great hopes for his future.“Every letter opens another world for us,” according to Guan Zhengwen,the director of the TV show.“It seems that we can experience the real lives and feelings of the writers.” Since its first episode on Dec.5,Letters Alive has been widely praised.Many audiences said that it has provided a breath of fresh air to today's TV shows.Besides Letters Alive,some other cultural TV shows have also been well received by Chinese audiences.They include the Chinese Poetry Competition,a traditional Chinese poetry competition and Readers,a program that invites people to read poems and articles they like or wrote.They suggest that cultural values and true feelings are becoming our interest.14.Letters Alive,a TV show,invites famous people to ________.A.tell audiences jokesB.read and share lettersC.walk up to a microphone to singD.enter different competitions15.According to the passage,which sentence is RIGHT?A.We can experience the real lives and feelings of the writers by reading letters.B.Xiao Hong missed her brother but had no hope for his future.C.Letters Alive is not popular enough to attract audiences.D.Chinese Poetry Conference invites people to read poems and articles.16.How many cultural TV shows are mentioned in this passage?A.One.B.Two.C.Three.D.Four.17.Chinese audiences ________ these cultural TV shows.A.like B.dislikeC.show no interest in D.doubt about18.What is the best title for the passage?A.Phones Have Taken the Place of LettersB.Welcome to Cultural TV ShowsC.Letters Encourage Us to CommunicateD.Cultural TV Shows Become Popular AgainMotivated (有内驱力的)or Overachieving?Everyone has the occasional classmate who hands in his work ahead of time with really beautiful handwriting. Some teachers may cheerfully get the homework by saying "Of course you did it early.I'm sure you've done a good job!" Some teachers may feel annoyed because "The deadline is not until next Friday." Behind this student's back are tons of whispers from his classmates,"Ugh, he is such an overachiever and it's so annoying ..."If you ask the same student to explain his behavior, he probably says that he is simply "motivated". Such students refuse to call themselves overachievers but prefer "motivated" instead. They want to shy away from the unpleasant term "overachiever" but choose to embrace the word"motivated" .Why is the term "overachiever" used as an insult (侮辱)? Do we not all work hard to achieve our goals? Why does the "motivated" student not proudly call himself an "overachiever" ?In my personal experience, being called an overachiever in front of my classmates is not pleasant at all. The word is often connected with an unkind smile or sometimes a hint ofjealousy (嫉妒)."Overachiever" carries the implied (暗指的) sense which "over" lends it - you have done too much and you have gone too far. Anyway, it is beyond the proper degree and just annoying to those students who refuse to put in the effort themselves and get unhappy with you for doing so.A student would rather think of himself as an excellent student and it is motivation that drives him to do his best. What is the implied meaning of "motivated" ? Connected with positive words like willpower, spirit and determination, the "motivated" student would appear to be competing in an event of the brain Olympics.Although there are differences in their implications, the student who calls himself "motivated" could actually be a secret overachiever, going over the top for all his work; while the "overachiever" is nothing more than a motivated student, driven by the simple desire to do well and willing to put in time and effort. In fact, the choice lies within the student: to overachieve or not to overachieve; to find the motivation to do well and be driven by it, or to sit back and blame others for overachieving to hide his inability to achieve.19.According to the passage, overachieversA.are popular with their classmates B.hand in homework ahead of timeC.are much loved by their teachers D.look down on others for being slow20.The word "embrace" in Paragraph 2 probably means "_ ".A.understand B.explain C.doubt D.accept21.What can we learn from the passage?A.Teachers expect students to benefit from their extra work.B.Students compete with each other to become overachievers.C.Classmates may laugh at overachievers to hide their inability to achieve.D.The writer has some pleasant experiences of being called an overachiever.22.The writer probably agrees tahatA.students shouldn't be encouraged to be overachieversB.students without motivation will become overachieversC.motivated students make better progress than overachieversD.motivated students have something in common with overachieversCould the students from less developed areas in central and western China get the same educational chances as those in big cities in the east? Could the children in poor rural (农村) areas develop as well as those in rich cities? Maybe the answers were “No” in the past. But now, China is trying to change the situation.In order to help rural students grow taller and stronger, China’s Nutrition (营养) Improvement Program started in 2011. According to the program, a lot more money was spent improving students’ meals. More than 36 million students from 134,000 primary and junior high schools in poor rural areas have benefited from the program. They are provided with healthy food like eggs and milk from Monday to Friday at school. And the result of a survey shows that the students in those areas are much taller and stronger than before.It is true that there were differences between less developed areas and developed areas in education before. Recently, The Guideline for Popularizing High School Education (2017-2020) has come out. According to the guideline, above 90% students from all over the country will go to high schools by 2020. What’s more, the schools in central and western areas will get more support to improve their education.Students from rural and poor areas also get more chances to receive higher education. A special college program makes it possible for more students from those areas to go to key (重点的) colleges and universities. The number will be increased by 10% in 2017.With the guideline and the programs, we can expect a fairer and more balanced (均衡的) education in the future.23.The number of 134,000 in Paragraph 2 is the number of _______ in poor rural areas.A.the key schools B.the poor studentsC.the key colleges and universities D.the primary and junior high schools24.The underlined word “benefited” in Paragraph 2 means _______ in Chinese.A.逃离B.获益C.受害D.赚钱25.If we put the passage into three parts, which of the following is the best?(①=Para.(自然段) 1②=Para. 2③=Para. 3④=Para. 4⑤=Para. 5)A.①②;③④;⑤B.①;②③;④⑤C.①;②③④;⑤D.①②;③;④⑤26.After reading the passage, we can infer(推断) that ________.A.Liu Xi, a student from Chongqing, can go to any high school if she wants toB.Li Mei, a student from a western rural school, can get a bag of milk every dayC.Hu Jia, a 12-year-old rural student, will more easily receive high school educationD.Han Lei, a student from Beijing, will have few chances to go to key universitiesAccording to a study by some organizations, more than half of the things in the world are made in China. And these things are all about people's everyday life.In order to truly understand why so many things are made in China, you have to understand the history. China is one of the greatest countries with rich civilization (文明) on the earth for thousands of years. Chinese people have made a lot of things very smartly. Usually it would take Westerners and other foreigners 100 more years to find out how to make them. They have clever minds and work hard, so you can see why so many things are made in China.If you study Goldman Sach’s report on the future, you will see that China will take charge of (控制)a quarter of the world's GDP in the near future. Although some big companies are moving to other countries from China, China is making more products with fine quality, as well as Japan, the USA and Europe. In 20 years or so, people will not look for a Ferrari, but a Chinese car that no one has heard of yet.China isn't just making products. It's helping people in the world live better.27.According to the study, of the things in the world are made in China.A.about 15%B.less than 25%C.over 50%D.over 75%28.What does the underlined word “They” refer to?A.Westerners.B.The Chinese.C.Other foreigners.D.The Japanese.29.The underlined word “quality” means “ ” in Chinese.A.质量B.名声C.影响D.背景30.What makes China a great country in the world for thousands of years?A.Its large area.B.Its large population.C.Its fine products.D.Its rich civilization.31.What can we learn from the third paragraph?A.China has taken charge of a quarter of the world's GDP.B.China is producing more products with fine quality.C.More and more big companies are moving to China.D.Ferrari cars will be found everywhere in China in the future.The Plain of Jars(石缸平原)is a great manmade wonder(奇观)in Laos,a country in southeast Asia.It is made up of thousands of stone jars.More than 90 jar sites have been found there.Each site has from 1 to 400 stone jars.The jars come in different sizes from 1 to 3 meters tall.Scientists have long been perplexed by their original(最初的)use.Not long ago,scientists found ancient things and burial practices at the Plain of Jars.“This will be the first major effort since the 1930s to try to understand the purpose of the jars and who created them.”Dougald O'Reilly from the Australian National University said.“The jars are empty now,but it is possible that they were once used to hold bodies.”Only a few simple objects,such as a handful of glass beads(玻璃珠),have been found at the burial sites.And scientists think they are from about 500 or 600 BC to 550 AD.An AustraliaLaos research team spent a month collecting data(资料)at the site.O'Reilly said,“Though the stone jars remain a mystery,I hope a better understanding of the Plain of Jars will help have it listed as a World Heritage site(世界遗产保护区).”32.The Plain of Jars is in ________.A.Asia B.Europe C.America D.Australia33.What do we know about the jars?A.They are of the same size.B.They were used for holding water.C.They are all made of stones.D.All the sites have the same number of jars.34.The underlined word “perplexed ”means “ ________ ” in Chinese.

九年级中考英语阅读理解专练第(一)篇Tea and coffee are two of the most popular drinks in the world. However, people usually like one more than the other. These drinks also have very different uses.Tea drinking started in China over 4,000 years ago. Tea is made from leaves. These days, some people drink tea for health, using it to help with stress(压力) or losing weight. However, most people in tea-drinking countries think of tea as more than just a healthy drink. In fact, tea drinking in some countries is a part of the culture. In Turkey(土耳其), tea is always there when people meet. Whether in someone’s home or a company, tea is always offered as a way of welcoming. In the UK, homes and offices usually have tea time. Tea and other dishes are served at tea time in the afternoon. It is a way of relaxing with friends .Coffee came much later than tea, just over 1,000 years ago. Coffee is made from beans. Something in the coffee beans makes a person feel active. Most people do not drink coffee to relax. Instead, they drink coffee to get going. Many people drink coffee in the morning to help them wake up. Others will also drink coffee during short breaks in the afternoon to keep going through the working day. Some people may visit coffee shops just to meet and talk with friends. However, many people in coffee shops drink coffee while working on their computers.Is tea or coffee more common in your country? Between the two, which do you like to drink more?1. Where did tea drinking start?A. In Japan.B. In China.C. In Turkey.D. In the UK.2.

The Smells of Tea and CoffeeB. The Prices of Tea and CoffeeC. The Different Cultures of Tea and CoffeeD. The Different Ways of Making Tea and Coffee第(二)篇Why did Chinese people have more than one name in ancient times?In ancient China, people’s names had three parts, their family name, given name and courtesy name. Take famous poet Li Bai for example. His family nam e, which came from his father’s name, was Li. His given name was Bai, and his courtesy name was Taibai.People used their given names when they were among family members. But in social life, they called each other by their courtesy names to show respect. This was mostly done among people of similar age. If you were talking about yourself, or if your elders were talking about you, the given name would be used instead of the courtesy name.Men would get their courtesy names when they turned 20. It was a symbol of adulthood (成年礼). Women would get their courtesy names after getting married.One’s courtesy name often had something to do with one’s given name. For example, the name of Mencius was Meng Ke. His courtesy name was Ziyu. Both Ke and Ziyu mean “carriage (马车)”. Zhuge Liang’s given name was Liang, which means “bright”. His courtesy name was Kongming, which means “very bright”.1. How many parts are there in people’s names in ancient China?A. three.B. four.C. five.D. six.2. What does the under lined word “courtesy” in Paragraph 2 mean in Chinese?A. 名B. 姓氏C. 字D. 昵称3. Why did people call each other by their courtesy names in social life?A. To show their love.B.

The development of names.第(三)篇For 16-year-old Ma Yifei, the violin performance of the Beijing 2022 Olympic theme song, Snowflake, was her best present for Paralympians (残奥运动员) all over the world. Even though snowflakes are related to winter, she let others feel warmth, hope and light through her performance. “I’m also disabled and I want to do something for them with my music,” said Ma.Ma went blind at the age of two because of an illness. She became interested in music when she was young. She started to learn to play the piano at five and the violin at nine, experiencing the “colorful” music through sound and emotion.Ma’s mother Ha Chunyan, a former music teacher in a primary school, helped her memorize the music score (乐谱) before she played the piano. Ma could not see the keys and always played the wrong notes. It took her thousands of tries to play a piece correctly.Learning the violin was more challenging. Ma needed to feel the teacher’s hands, arms and back to learn the movements, and listen to the strings (弦) over and over again to feel the muscles (肌肉) herself.“After three years of learning, she still could not make any sound except terrible noises,” said Ha, who advised her daughter to give up the violin. But Ma said, “As I’ve been practicing so long, it’s hard to give up. I believe I will play better if I persist in practicing.”In 2018, Ma got a chance to follow Sheng Yuan and Cao Yuhan, famous musicians from the CentralConservatory of Music, to study music in Beijing. She left her home in Ningxia to follow her musical dream, though she knew there would be more challenges ahead.Ma expressed her excitement about performing at the big event. “All my hard work has paid off.

Ma could memorize the music score by herself before playing the piano.4. What does the underlined phrase “persist in” probably mean in Paragraph 5?A. keep onB. end upC. take pride inD. look forward to5. Ma’s story tells us __________.A. old habits die hardB. there is no place like homeC. practice makes perfectD. a good friend is like a mirror第(四)篇We know many musical instruments well, such as pianos, violins, drums and so on. What about the erhu? The erhu is a traditional Chinese instrument. It is the most popular of the huqin family, and it has a long history.The modern erhu developed from the xiqin, which was played by many ethnic minorities (少数民族) during the Tang Dynasty. In the Song Dynasty, musicians began to use the erhu to perform different kinds of music, and itbecame quite a popular instrument. With the rise of some forms of folk art, the art of the erhu developed quickly during the Ming and Qing Dynasties. It became an important accompanying (伴奏) instrument in different folk music. At present, it is used in both traditional and modern music, such as in pop, rock and jazz. It has even become a solo (独奏) instrument. One of the most famous musical pieces played on the erhu is Erquan Yingyue.As the erhu was mainly played by common people and the playing skills were passed down orally (口头地), there are few written records about the erhu that can be found. To study the history and the development of the erhu, historians (历史学者) usually turn to ancient paintings. The earliest pictures of this instrument were found in Yulin Caves and Eastern Thousand Buddha Caves in Gansu Province, where five erhu pictures were discovered on murals (壁画).1. When did the erhu become a popular instrument?A. In the Tang Dynasty.B. In the Song Dynasty.C. In the Ming Dynasty.D. In recent years.2. To study the history of the erhu, historians usually ________.A. play the most famous erhu piecesB. listen to different kinds of folk musicC. get help from ancient paintingsD. read some books about ethnic minorities3. Which is TRUE according to the passage?A. The huqin belongs to the erhu family.B. Folk art stops the development of the erhu.C. People can find plenty of written records about the erhu.D. The erhu is used in both traditional and modern music now.4. You may read the passage in the ________ section of a newspaper.A. cultureB. businessC. healthD. nature5. The passage mainly talks about ________.A. the forms of folk musicB. the history of the erhuC. the rise of different dynastiesD. the development of Chinese instruments第(五)篇Just a few days after his 18th birthday, Beijing 2022 gold medal winner Su Yiming received a surprise gift—aletter from Xi Jinping, President of the People’s Republic of China.In the letter, Xi expressed his congratulations to Su and other sportsmen in ice and snow sports for their great achievements at the Beijing Winter Olympics, hoping what they had achieved would encourage young Chinese to aim(立目标) high.When Su first stepped onto a snowboard at the age of four, a future as a world-class sportsman seemed to be “a dream too big” for him. Little did he know that he would not only compete for his country but also take home gold. With the great excitement of winning an Olympic gold medal still fresh in his mind, Su wrote a letter to the president, telling him how lucky he felt to have made his dream come true.Su still remembers what Xi wrote in the reply, “The new era is the time for young people to realize their dreams.”“I have always kept those words in my mind,” Su said.“When I made up my mind to be a professional(职业的) snowboarder, I know there is a big gap between my performance(表现) and that of the top sportsmen in the world. But I have been working hard to realize my dream. Now my story shows the fact that hard work will pay off.” Su said.Su believes the sky is the limit. “Find the thing you love, believe in yourself and do your very best. Finally, your dream will come true.”Now Su has his strong wish to win all the competitions in his sporting field.1. What was the surprise gift Su Yiming got after his birthday?A. A letter.B. A gold medal.C. A birthday cake.D. A snowboard.2. Su wrote a letter to the president to ________.A. invite young Chinese to try snow sportsB. encourage young Chinese to make big plansC. express his excitement of realizing his dreamD. congratulate Chinese sportsmen on their achievements3.

Most of them cover huge areas of land where nobody lives, and usually far way from cities. However, the National Parks in England include places where people live and work, as well as wild areas where there are few human activities.The National Parks in England are called “England’s Breathing Spaces” because they are places where people can go to be in the open air, away from the dirt and noise of cities. They provide wonderful scenes of mountains, woods, grasslands and wetlands. And there are plenty of activities to do in all of the National Parks in England. Visitors can walk or ride bikes for fun. Many of the parks put on activities for families.Every year there are about 110 million visitors to the parks, bringing many benefits(益处) to the areas. At the same time, it creates problems too. First, life can be difficult for local people. Car parks and roads are too crowded. Gift shops and cafes take the place of many everyday shops. Even house prices in some areas can become too high. Besides, country roads can be damaged, for too many people walk, cycle or ride horses on them. Roads can be rebuilt, but then they look less natural. Another big problem to the National Parks is litter. In the parks it is a danger to wild animals. Broken glass can also cause fires by focusing the rays of the sun. Such fires in wild places can be out of control.How can people help? All National Parks in England are making more rules, which tell people how to take good care of their environment. If these rules are followed, the National Parks will be well kept and continue to give pleasure to many people for a very long time.1.According to paragraph 1, what can we learn about the National Parks?A.There are only several national parks in the worldB.

Many people live in national parks2.What can visitors to the National Parks in England do?A. give food to wild animalsB. drive cars on the grasslandsC. enjoy fresh air and peaceful timeD. have fun farming with local people3.Why do the national parks sometimes catch fire?A. the results of the dry airB. improper use of fire in the wildC. the strong rays of the sunD. the grass is everywhere in parks4.What’s t he main purpose of the text?A. introduce things about the National parksB. give advice on visiting a national parkC. tell us about the new type of National parks in EnglandD. show the importance of environment protection5. Where may you read the article?A.In Chinese textbooksB. In fashion magazinesC. In history booksD. In geographical newspapers第(八)篇During work hours, among the sounds of machines, the kitche n of Bach’s Bakery (面包房) is especially tidy and quiet, not because of any rules against talking during work hours, but because all of the workers have a hearing disability. They are hard-working and professional in their work, and use sign language to communicate with each other from time to time.Bach’s Bakery lies in Changsha City, Hunan Province. It is run by a German couple, Uwe Brutzer and his wife Dorothee Brutzer, who started it up ten years ago with the purpose of creating more jobs for those disabled in the neighborhood. So far, Bach’s Bakery has trained around 30 hearing disabled people. While some skilled workers found jobs in other bakeries and hotels and have been able to live on their own, several of them have stayed to work atthe bakery after they completed the training.The Brutzers’ work has won the support of many people in China. With the spread of news about the bakery, many Internet users learned about Bach’s Bakery and its inspiring story. As a result, many local people in Changsha as well as visitors from other parts of the country come to buy their products, Uwe said that public attention has encouraged them a lot and helped grow the bakery’s business, resulting in workers getting higher pay. However, what he values more is that, through media (媒体) reports, more people have come to understand that disabled people can work as well as other people when they are given chances.Now, as they are preparing to return to Germany, they have found a German couple teaching in China as the new managers, and handed over the bakery to a public welfare (福利) organization. Their wish is to continue providing free training for the hearing disabled and that the bakery will never be changed into a shop with moneymaking as its main goal.1. The workers in Bach’s Bakery use sign language because ________.A. their boss doesn’t allow them to talkB. machines make too much noiseC. they can’t communicate in spoken wordsD. heavy work keeps them too busy to speak2.

In Uwe’s opinion, the greatest value of public attention is that ________.A. disabled workers are paid moreB. his shop becomes more popularC. the disabled are better understoodD. sales of their products get stronger5. What’s the best title for the passage?A. A Silent BakeryB. A Special WishC. The Success of the DisabledD. The Rules of Bach’s Bakery第(九)篇Scientists are looking for ways that we can effectively use the light and heat from the sun. One idea that has caught their imagination is solar roads. They are expected to produce clean and renewable energy.With solar panels on the surfaces, solar roads cost more than traditional roads. However, besides the functions of traditional roods, they have the panels to receive sunlight and change it into the energy to supply power to homes, factories and street lighting. There are four layers in a solar panel:•Base layer: It is made of insulation material and forms a good grip with the road below this layer.•Middle layer: This is the most important layer. It holds all kinds of power lines connecting all the solar parts in the panel, like LED lights and the heating system.•Top layer: This layer is super-strong glass. It allows the panel to hold the weight of the heaviest vehicles.•Capping: This is the topmost layer used to offer extra protection to the solar parts in the panel. The layer must be rough enough to provide the traction for the safety of vehicles.With the smart design, solar roads can successfully charge the vehicles on them. And the roads have inbuilt LED lights to replace the traditional rood signs and lines, which are usually painted and harmful to humans. What’s more, the heating systems in the solar roads can take care of the snow and ice on the roads for drivers.Test solar roads have been built in several countries (France, China, USA, etc.) since 2014. The first word solar road project, Metrics of Watt Way in France, was set up by a French company called Construction Colas. It was an example of low effectiveness. In the first year, it had been expected to produce around 767 kWh of energy a day, but it only produced 409 kWh. Even so, the production could increase with design improvements. Of course, more time is needed before this technology is put into use.Solar roads may not be widely used in the near future, but they are indeed great for an environment-friendly and energy-saving world.1. Solar roads ________.A. offer power to homesB. get energy from factoriesC. keep the sunlight awayD. cost less than traditional roods2. Which of the following about the layers of a solar panel is TRUE according to the passage?A. The base layer is the most important layer.B. There are many power lines in the middle layer.C. The top layer lies on the top of the solar panel.D. The capping should be smooth enough for drivers.3. The first world solar road project ________.A. was set up in China in 2014B. showed high effectiveness as expectedC. was started by a US companyD. could get better with design improvements4. What is the best title for the passage?A. Solar Roads: A Widely Used InventionB. Solar Roads: A Safety Guard for DriversC. Solar Roads: A New Idea for Clean EnergyD. Solar Roads: A Way to Produce LED Lights5. Which part of newspaper may you read this passage?A. HistoryB. FashionC. SportD. Environment第(十)篇Steven Spielberg is the world’s most famous director. Hundreds of millions of people around the world have seen his films like Firelight, Amblin’ and The Color Purple. His films include two of the most popular films: Jurassic Park and E.T: The Extraterrestrial.Each of Steven’s parents had a deep influence on the young boy’s growing and character. His mother had given up her job when she married. When Steven was six, his father took him to Philadelphia to see his first film, The Greatest Show on Earth. Steven enjoyed this exciting circus (马戏团) story, however he could not understand how a circus could perform on a screen. Part of him felt disappointed that he couldn’t smell the sawdust (锯木) and gunpowder.When Steven was twelve, his parents bought an 8mm Kodak movie camera. Steven’s father handed Steven the camera and asked him to try. The first efforts were terrible, but Steven was interested in camera. He used his toys as characters and began making short films. By his teens Steven had made his first short film, called The Great TrainCrash. Before long the Spielberg house began to look like a film set, with furniture and lights being moved around to prepare for a new film.He is skilled in making a film excite, sadden or amuse people as they watch it. Spielberg understands the life in the countryside, television and fast cars, all of which became more common in his childhood in 1950s America. Films such as Jaws and Close Encounters of the Third Kind succeed because they are about ordinary people.After all the years Steven Spielberg had spent dreaming about getting into Hollywood.

(每空一词)At a recent job fair in northeast China’s LiaoningProvince, some employers offered great welfare packages, including insurance, holiday presents and paid vacations. These panies were rushed by many jobseekers who believe that working in such places would make them feel like home.An article from The W orkers’ Daily says if a pany fails to provide its employees with a sense of belonging, it will not be able to keep them with a satisfactory salary alone.The article says the job fair serves as a good example. An employer must keep in mind that providing its employees with good conditions has bee vital in maintaining the pany’s petitive edge.Nowadays, many panies try every possible means to reduce the cost of labour, ignoring or even trampling on employees’ rights and interests. The fact is that some panies are unable to find new workers even with increased payment.A unique pany culture with human-oriented management is the key to successfully keeping good employees.

One of the things he discovered was money made of paper. People in the West did not have such kind of money until the 15th century. However, the Chinese began to use it in the 7th century.Paper was invented by a Chinese man called Cai Lun almost 2,000 years ago. But it was not made in Europe until the year 1 lOO.Four hundred years later, a German discovered that he could make the best paper from trees. After that countries rich in forests, such as Canada, Sweden, America, Finland became the most important ones in paper making.Paper can be used in many ways. The common uses include newspapers, magazines and books. But do you know that paper can be used for keeping warm? In Finland, the farmers wear paper boots to keep their feet warm in the snow. And even houses can be insulaled(使绝缘)from heat or cold with paper.However, we have to understand that paper still comes from trees now. If we keep on wasting so much paper, there will not be any trees left on the earth some day in the near future. Every day people throw away about 2,800 tons of paper in our city. It takes 17 trees to make one ton of paper. This means that we are cutting down nearly 48,000 trees every day. The fact is that it takes more than 10 years for a tree to grow.So we must start saving paper right now. We can use both sides of every piece of paper. We can make useful things out of used paper. We can use china cups instead of paper ones. When shopping, we can use fewer paper bags and reuse them if we have some.In short, we should keep a balance(平衡)between using paper and protecting trees, and do it now before it is too late.l.When did the Chinese begin to use paper money?A.In the 5th century.B.In the 6th century.C.In the 7th century.D.In the 15th century.2.Why did Canada become an important country in paper making?A.Because it was a large country.B.Because it had lots of forests.C.Because it was a very rich country.D.Because the inventor was from Canada.3.In Finland, paper is used for.A.making bedsB.reducing wasteC.making umbrellasD.keeping warm4. According to the passage, how many trees are needed to make one ton of paper?AJO.B.17.C.2,800.D.48,000.5.Paragraph 5 mainly talks about.A.how paper boots are madeB.how paper was inventedC.how we can save paperD.how we can make useful thingsBLong, long ago people made fires from lightning。

Then one Friday morning I took part in a three-day self-help program for teenagers. Whether you believe it or not, that weekend changed my life.About 100 other teenagers were there. During the first two days I met a lot of great people. I was glad because I made so many friends there.On Sunday, the leader did an interesting exercise called “Chocolate or Toys”. He asked a girl which she liked better, chocolate or toys. She chose chocolate. Then he asked her to choose again between chocolate and chocolate. Of course, she didn’t have a choice.This exercise told us that sometimes we don’t have a choice in life, and that sometimes we have to accept something, rather than complaining(抱怨).A girl stood up and started talking about her mom who was a drug addict(吸毒者) and how much she hated her mother.“I want a new mom,” she cried.“Unluckily, you can’t have one,” the leader replied. “You have to accept the mother that you have.”This hit me hard.

Old men spend hours fishing from the banks of the river. They don’t catch many fish, but they don’t mind. They enjoy just being by the river. Many people spend hours walking along the river or relaxing under the old trees. It’s so pleasant to buy some cheese, some wine and a long loaf(条) of French bread and then have a picnic here on a sunny day. Sometimes you see an unusual sight, like a man padding a kayak(小艇) down the river. A bridge crosses the river to the Latin Quarter, which is the home of many artists and writers.根据短文内容,正确(T),错误(F)。

Our guide informed us that this was a Baobab tree and that they could live for hundreds of years.Compared with this tree, the elephant just looked like dwarfs (much smaller plants or animals)! We were informed that Tarangire was one of the best National Parks in Africa to see so many Baobab trees.As we continued our drive through the park, we finally reached a watering hole.Our guide warned us that there were lions all around us.It took us all a while to find them, but there they were! Most of them are resting in the shade under bushes, but there was one that was drinking from the watering hole directly in front of us.We then noticed just to our right, there were a couple of fresh zebra bodies — it seemed as if the lions which wereresting had killed them! We were unlucky not to have seen the kill, as our guide had mentioned that the zebra bodies were fresh and the kill had happened within the last hour.Our final big sighting was one that none of us were expecting to see, even our guide! We stopped at a place where there were quite a many cars, with a sleeping leopard(美洲豹)there! We took photos and watched its surprising body before returning to our hotel as it was getting late.So, I hope you enjoyed my description of Tarangire, and add this amazing park to your very own Tanzania travel route.(401)1. Which statement is correct about the park?A.It covers an area of about 2,580 square kilometers.B.It is the largest park of its kind in the country.C.Their population in the park was around 2,000.D.There are a lot of Baobab trees in the park.2.

Which country is better to study in?‖We often hear such discussions. As China opens its doors, studying abroad has become a dream for many Chinese students. They want to learn about the world.It‘s true that studying abroad can help studen ts develop themselves. Language skills will improve and it may be easier to find jobs.But there are problems that should be considered. Language is the first. Students must spend a lot of time learning another language and getting used to a different culture.Students must also learn to live without parents‘ care and deal with all kinds of things they haven‘t had to do before, like looking after themselves. There are reports about Chinese students abroad sinking into an ocean of difficulties and giving up easily. When they have to take care of themselves, it is hard for students to study well. Finally, studying abroad brings a heavy burden(负担) to the family. For most Chinese parents, the cost of studying abroad is very high. But is it worth it?We know that there are many famous people who succeed in great things through their hard work in China. Liu Xiang is a good example. Once an American teacher invited him there but he refused. He kept training hard with his Chinese teacher. He surprised the world when he won a gold medal at the Athens Olympics.

You are driving along in a desert or on a mountain. You have no idea where you are. You passed the last house two hours ago. Then your car breaks down. It is night and it is cold. You have no mobile phone. What do you do? Well, next time take a GPS with you. This invention may be able to help you. It is a device(装置)which uses satellites to find the user‘s position. It can find your position to within 20 meters.A GPS cannot start your car, but at least you will know where you are.GPS, which means Global Positioning System(全球定位系统), is a small radio receiver. It looks like a mobile phone. You can hold it in your hand, or put in you pocket. It is sometimes put into a watch or a telephone. We also find GPS devices in cars, planes, or boats. Some of these devices have electronic maps, so you know where you are. For example, in a city they can tell you the name of the street.There are three parts to the Global Positioning System. The first part is the receiver. You can hold it in your hand, or have it fixed into your car, plane, etc. the second part is a group of satellites orbiting the Earth. The receiver contacts at least four of the satellites and calculates its position. The third part of the system is a network of ground stations. They are all over the world. They control the satellites and make sure they are working well. Some people think that in the future the GPS will be as common as the mobile. They are becoming cheaper and more and more accurate(精确的). There are also new uses for the GPS. Perhaps they will become like watches.

"That's an old saying in English. It means other places often look better, more interesting than the place where you live. Some people worry that young Chinese are beginning to feel that way. They see young Chinese ignoring Chinese culture and, instead, buying Japanese cartoon books, watching Korean soap operas and even celebrating Western holidays.Foreign books and soap operas are good, but Chinese writers and actors are just as good. As for holidays, Christmas is nice, but it can never have the meaning for Chinese that Spring Festival has, and the West has nothing to compare with Mid-Autumn Festival. And let's not forget the part of Chinese culture I like best: its friendliness. Not all countries are as warm as China.It's good to enjoy other cultures and to learn from them, but they cannot replace your own culture. It's good to look on the other side of the fence, but make sure you take a good long look. You will find that the grass isn't always greener on the other side of the fence.判断正误;正确写T 错误写F( ) 1.The Spring Festival is more meaningful for Chinese people.( ) 2.The saying means the place where you live looks better than other places.( ) 3.Foreign culture can't replace Chinese culture.( ) 4.Some people worry that young Chinese ignore Chinese culture.( ) 5.
