发于神农，闻于鲁周公，兴于唐朝，盛于宋代。

一直以来，中国人对茶，都有着一种难以割舍的情结，上至帝王将相，文人墨客，诸子百家，下至挑夫贩竹，平民百姓，无不以茶为好。

因为泡上一壶浓茶，择雅静之处，自斟自饮，乃人生一大雅事也！那么，炎炎夏日，你我何不泡上一壶沁人心脾的好茶，坐在凉爽的树荫下，吹着习习的凉风，一同来品茶说茶呢？The Chinese people, in their drinking oftea, place much significance on the act of "savoring." "Savoringtea" is not only a way to discern good tea from mediocre tea, but also howpeople take delight in their reverie and in tea-drinking itself. Snatching abit of leisure from a busy schedule, making a kettle of strong tea, securing aserene space, and serving and drinking tea by yourself can help banish fatigueand frustration, improve your thinking ability and inspire you with enthusiasm.You may also imbibe it slowly in small sips to appreciate the subtle allure oftea-drinking, until your spirits soar up and up into a sublime aesthetic realm.Buildings, gardens, ornaments and tea sets are the elements that form theambience for savoring tea. A tranquil, refreshing, comfortable and neat localeis certainly desirable for drinking tea. Chinese gardens are well known in theworld and beautiful Chinese landscapes are too numerous to count. Teahousestucked away in gardens and nestled beside the natural beauty of mountains andrivers are enchanting places of repose for people to rest and recreatethemselves.中国人饮茶，注重一个"品"字。

第一部分：阅读判断1. ［解析］文章第一段中提到了应聘者提出的几个问题：What are my...my hobbies ，由此可以看出他们关注的更多是公司给予的“假期”待遇，而非工作本身带来的经历、价值和成长空间等。

所以题干的说法是正确的。

答案为A。

2. ［解析］第二段第一句就说到Good work…work experie nee,即好的工作态度、习惯和技术来自工作经历而非在学校可以学到。

所以题干说法是错误的。

答案为B。

3. ［解析］第二段第三行讲到I would enter our barnyard…the milking barn，即需要给10至12 只奶牛挤奶，至于说是不是一共有12 头牛，或者父母会帮忙给余下的其他奶牛挤奶，文章并未提及。

答案为C。

4 . ［解析］第二段最后讲到父母每天早晨都会对奶牛问好，Good 's good to seeyou!然后后面提到I did n't feel quite the same way，这说明作者和父母的感受不同，不愿意清早起床挤牛奶。

答案为A。

5. ［解析］第三段最后一句提到It made me...to the road,所以作者是将牛奶捅提到路边等待。

牛奶厂的人来接货，而没提到运到集市去卖。

答案为C。

6. ［解析］第四段首句提到My father and mother...helped me with milking the eows ，即我的父母经常帮我一起挤牛奶，所以题干中说“我经常独自一人挤牛奶”是错误的。

答案为B。

7. ［解析］第四段倒数第二句指出To my father...as it may seem ，即对于父亲来说，挤牛奶看上去并没有那么复杂。

unsophisticated意为不复杂的、简单的，与complicated （复杂的）语义相反。

因此题干说法是错误的。

答案为B。

8. ［解析］第四段第二行指出But Father...needed to be milked,意为奶牛也需要被挤奶，和题干含义吻合。

2023年中考真题英语分项汇编专题09阅读理解考点4议论文和新闻报道（第02期）（2023·广东广州·统考中考真题）Computer scientist Mary has an idea for a new robot to help her work with children.How should it look?The robot should have arms to be able to lift things.And if it is going to communicate with people,it will also need a face.Scientists believe that giving a robot a face can make it seem more friendly.Humans would also like to pay more attention to robots with faces.But what kind?For Mary,she wants to make sure that her new robot doesn’t look too much like a human.She wants people to just treat it as a machine-person.If it looks more like a human than a machine,she thinks users might find it a bit creepy and feel afraid.Mary also believes that robot faces don’t need to look a lot like ours.Her research shows that we can enjoy communicating with robots whether or not they look like humans,because our brains are able to look for faces.Just put two circles on top of a robot’s body,and we will see a face.Dave feels differently.He believes that although at first we might be afraid when seeing a robot with a lifelike face,we may soon get used to it.If robots are going to work closely with humans,they should look as much like us as possible.After all,faces are an important part of the way we communicate.To make his robots look as much like real people as possible,Dave invented a special skin(皮肤)for their faces.With this skin,robots can show human-like expressions and appear to be angry,sad,happy or surprised. Dave’s robots are also programmed to copy expressions.How?Just imagine his robot is looking at you.The cameras in its eyes send pictures of your face to its central computer!1．Why do scientists think a robot needs a face?A．It will become more beautiful.B．It can do better in lifting things.C．It will pay more attention to children.D．It can better communicate with people.2．What does the underlined word“creepy”mean in paragraph2?A．Uncomfortable to look at.B．Impossible to touch.C．Boring to talk to.D．Difficult to understand.3．Which of the following would Dave most probably agree with?A．People should treat robots as humans.B．Robots need to express their own feelings.C．Robots shouldn't look too much like humans.D．People can easily accept robots with a human face.4．What is the purpose of the passage?A．To explain the reasons why robots should have faces.B．To suggest what humans can do with robots with faces.C．To share ideas on what kind of faces robots should have.D．To show how scientists invent robots with different faces.【答案】1．D2．A3．D4．C【导语】本文主要介绍两个人对机器人是否要有人形脸持有的不同看法。

2012 考研英语二阅读第四篇全文共10篇示例，供读者参考篇1Title: Amazing AnimalsHi everyone! Today I want to tell you about some amazing animals that I learned about in the 2012 English Exam Reading Passage 4. It was super cool to read about all the different kinds of animals in the world. Let's dive in and learn more about them together!First, let's talk about elephants. Did you know that elephants are the largest land animals in the world? They are super big and strong, and they have long trunks that they use to pick up food and water. Elephants are also really smart and they can remember things for a long time. It was so interesting to read about how elephants have different ways of communicating with each other using sounds and body language.Next, let's learn about dolphins. Dolphins are super cute and they are really good at swimming. They have fins that help them move through the water really fast. Dolphins are also really friendly animals and they like to play with each other. I wasamazed to read about how dolphins use sonar to find food and communicate with each other underwater.Last but not least, let's talk about cheetahs. Cheetahs are the fastest land animals in the world! They can run super fast, up to 60 miles per hour. Cheetahs have really cool spots on their fur that help them blend in with their surroundings when they are hunting. It was so fascinating to read about how cheetahs work together in groups to catch their prey.I had so much fun learning about all these amazing animals in the 2012 English Exam Reading Passage 4. I hope you enjoyed hearing about them too! Animals are so interesting and I can't wait to learn more about them in the future. Let's keep exploring and discovering new things together! Thanks for listening!篇2Title: The Story of a Brave KnightOnce upon a time, there was a brave knight named Sir George. He lived in a big castle and his job was to protect the kingdom from evil dragons and wicked witches.One day, a terrible dragon attacked the village and started burning down all the houses. Sir George quickly put on hisshining armor and rode out on his trusty steed to face the dragon.The dragon breathed fire and roared loudly, but Sir George was not afraid. He raised his sword and fought bravely, dodging the dragon's flames and slashing at its scales. After a long and fierce battle, the dragon finally fell to the ground defeated.The villagers cheered and thanked Sir George for saving them. They celebrated with a big feast and everyone hailed him as a hero.But the next day, a wicked witch appeared in the kingdom, casting spells and turning people into frogs. Sir George knew he had to act fast. He rode out once again, determined to defeat the witch and save his friends.The witch cackled and summoned dark magic, trying to overpower Sir George. But he was clever and quick, using his wits to outsmart the witch and break her spell.In the end, the witch was defeated and the kingdom was safe once more thanks to the bravery and courage of Sir George, the fearless knight.And so, Sir George continued to protect the kingdom, facing danger and standing up for what is right. He became a legend, known far and wide as the greatest knight in all the land.篇3Title: A Fun Little Kid’s Review of 2012 Postgraduate Entrance Exam Reading PassageHey everyone! Today, I want to tell you about the last reading passage from the 2012 postgraduate entrance exam. It was a bit long and kinda boring, but I’ll try to make it fun for you all!So, this passage was all about how the internet is changing the way we read and think. It talked about how people are reading more online and how it’s affecting our brains. It also mentioned something called "cognitive overload" which basically means our brains are getting too much information to process. Phew, that sounds intense!But you know what? I think reading online is cool! You can read about anything you want, like dinosaurs or astronauts or even unicorns! And you can talk to people from all over the world about what you read. It’s like a big, awesome library that never closes!The passage also mentioned something called "Deep Reading" which is when you really focus on a book or article and think deeply about it. I think that’s important too. Sometimes, I get so into a story that I forget about everything else around me. It’s like going on an adventure without even leaving your room!Overall, I think the internet is great for reading and learning new things. But we shouldn’t forget about books either. They’re our friends and can take us to magical places. So, let’s keep reading, online or offline, and keep exploring the world through words!That’s it for my review of the 2012 postgraduate entrance exam reading passage. I hope you had fun reading it with me. See you next time, friends!篇4Title: A Funny Encounter in the LibraryHey guys! Today I want to tell you about a hilarious experience I had in the library. So, I was studying for my English test and decided to go to the library to find some books.I was walking down the aisles, searching for books when I saw a girl sitting at a table with a huge stack of books in front ofher. She looked really serious, like she was studying for a super important test.I thought to myself, "Wow, she must be really smart!" So, I went up to her and said, "Hey, what are you reading? Is it for a test too?" She looked up at me with a confused expression and said, "Uh, I'm actually just trying to find a book on dinosaurs for my little brother."I burst out laughing and apologized, telling her I thought she was a genius studying for a big exam. We both ended up laughing so hard that we couldn't stop. It was so funny how I totally misjudged the situation. We ended up becoming friends and exchanged numbers, all because of that silly misunderstanding in the library.So, the lesson here is not to judge a book by its cover, or in this case, a student by their stack of books. You never know what funny and unexpected encounters you might have when you least expect it. Keep smiling and always be ready for a good laugh!Do you guys have any funny library stories? Share them with me in the comments below! Bye for now!篇5Hey there! Today, I'm going to talk about the fourth reading passage from the 2012 English second section of the postgraduate entrance exam.This passage is all about different types of power and how they affect people's behavior. It talks about how power can make people more self-focused and less empathetic towards others. Sounds pretty heavy, right?Well, the passage gives examples of how people in powerful positions tend to be less considerate of those around them. It also talks about how power can corrupt individuals and lead them to make unethical decisions.But don't worry, it's not all doom and gloom! The passage also discusses how power can be used positively to help others and make a positive impact on society. It emphasizes the importance of using power responsibly and treating others with kindness and respect.So, remember, power is a double-edged sword – it can either lift you up or bring you down. It's up to you to use your power wisely and make a difference in the world.That's all for today, folks! Stay tuned for more fun and interesting readings from the 2012 English second section. Bye-bye!篇62012。

第1课Text A批判性地阅读批判性阅读适合于那种作者提出一个观点或试图陈述一个说法的纪实类写作。

批判性阅读是积极阅读。

它不仅仅包括理解作者说了些什么，还包括质疑和评价作者的话，并对此形成自己的观点。

成为一名批判性阅读者需要做到以下几点。

考虑写作背景。

你所读的可能是与你有不同文化背景的人所写的，或者是与你有不同时代背景的人多年以前所写的。

无论哪种情况，你都必须注意并考虑你的价值观和态度与作者所代表的价值观和态度有何不同。

质疑作者的论点。

不要轻信作品的表面意思。

在接受作者观点前，首先要确定作者作出的每一个论点都有足够的论据支持。

找出能支持该论点的事实、实例、和数据。

另外，注意作者是否参考了权威著作。

与同主题文章进行比较。

查看该作者的文章与其他作者关于同一主题的文章是否有一致性。

如果存在不一致性，对不一致的地方背后的论据支持要进行仔细甄别。

分析作者提出的假设。

假设是作者认为具有正确性的前提，基于这些前提作者才能提出论点。

很多时候作者的假设并没有直接说明，这就意味着你必须通过仔细阅读来发现这些假设。

一旦发现某一假设，你必须判断这一假设是否合理。

鉴别文章出处。

鉴别时要确保文章出处真实可信。

例如，如果文章是关于物理学里程碑式的成就，那么爱因斯坦的论述就是可靠的出处。

此外还要确保出处具有相关性。

如果文章主题是诗歌，那么爱因斯坦的论述就不是相关出处。

最后，如果作者写的是某个主题当前的情形，那就要确保出处来源也是当前最新的。

例如，如果作者讨论的是物理学知识的现状，那么爱因斯坦在二十世纪早期进行的研究可能就不适合作出处了。

甄别作者可能带有的偏见。

有关美国政治的书面论述可能因作者是共和党人或民主党人迥然而异。

作者所写的内容很可能反映其带有偏见的立场。

阅读时要考虑到这种偏见存在的可能性。

也就是说，要对文章内容“半信半疑”。

成为一名批判性阅读者，你的思路会不断拓宽，观点会更加合理。
