Louis Braille was born in the nineteenth century. When he was three years old, an accident at his father’s workshop left him blind. As a young boy, Louis was hard-working and clever. His teachers suggested that he should go to the National Institute for Blind Youths. ①At that time, this was the only school for the blind in France.At the institute, Louis was eager to learn to read and write. To his great disappointment, the few books he found at the institute used raised (凸起的) letters. This method of reading was difficult for the blind, because they had to feel slowly each letter. ②到他们摸到句子末尾时,他们已经忘记开头是关于什么了。
Louis wanted to develop an easier reading system for the blind. His idea of such a system came from Charles Barbier, a French army officer. Barbier had invented a system called “Night Writing”, which was made up of dots and dashes. Soldiers used this system to communicate with one another during the night. Louis adapted (改编) this system for his own use. He produced a simpler system based on dots. For example, “A” is represented by a single dot. Many blind students found this system much easier to use.This came to be known as the “Braille” system. Today, millions of blind people are able to read, thanks to the work of a young blind man.任务一:将文中划线的句子①翻译成汉语。

A rich and kind baker(面包师) sent some bread to twenty of the poorest children. He said to them, “In this basket, there is some bread for you. Each of you can have one loaf(一条面包) every day until the hard days end.”The impatient children couldn't wait to gather around the basket. They shouted and fought for the bread because each wished to have the largest loaf. At last they went away without even thanking the good gentleman. But Shirley, a poorlydressed little girl, did not join them. Instead, she remained standing modestly in the distance. When the other children left, she took the smallest loaf left in the basket, kissed the gentleman's hand and went home.The next day the children were as rude as before. Poor shy Shirley still took the smallest loaf. When she got home, her mother cut the bread open. Many new shining pieces of silver fell out of it. Her mother was very surprised and said,“Take the money back to the good gentleman at once, for it must have got into the loaf by accident. Be quick, Shirley! Be quick!”But when the little girl gave the rich man her mother's message, he said,“No, no, my child. It was no mistake. I put silver into the smallest loaf to reward you because you are a kind and honest girl. Go home, and the money is yours now.”( )1.From the story, we know the twenty children lived a ________ life.A.happy B.poor( )2.The rich baker gave ________ to the children.A.some bananas B.some booksC.some clothes D.some bread( )3.When the other children shouted and fought for the bread, Shirley ________.A.stood modestly in the distanceB.shouted at themC.joined themD.laughed at them( )4.Shirley's mother let her ________ when she saw the money.A.buy some foodB.hide it quicklyC.give it back to the rich manD.tell her father the news( )5.The story tells us that ________.A.it's not important to say thanks to othersB.fighting with others can help us get moreC.Shirley's mother didn't like herD.a kind and honest person will berewardedB[ 20xx·原创]Some Cool InventionsSelfie Stick (自拍杆)How to take a perfect selfie?Luckily, a selfie stick ishelpful!

But recently, a group of researchers found something unusual in amber—a feathered tail!The tail includes bones, soft tissue and even feathers. It is 37 mm long, which is about the length of a matchstick. It looks like a plant at first sight. But researchers later identified(确定) it as part of the tail of a dinosaur that couldn't fly almost 100 million years ago.Xing Lida of Beijing's China University of Geosciences discovered the amber in a market in M yanmar in 20xx.“It is an amazing fossil(化石) and the finest details of feathers can be seen in 3D,” he said.The researchers note in their paper that this finding is particularly special because, although dinosaur feathers have been found in amber before, we don't know which dinosaurs they came from. But this time researchers know more.The tail is likely to belong to a tiny dinosaur called coelurosaur. Famous coelurosaurs include the Trex(霸王龙) and Velociraptor(迅猛龙)—the latter of which would finally evolve_into birds.So with the “once in a lifetime” finding, can we hope for the possibility of a real Jurassic Park (侏罗纪公园)? In the movie series, scientists bring dinosaurs back to life by getting their DNA from blood found in amber.But Canadian scientist Ryan Mckellar said that although soft tissue and blood of the tail were found in the amber, nogenetic material was kept. “The Jurassic Park answer is still a ‘no’—this is in the science fiction,” he said.( )1.What did a group of researchers find in amber recently?A.Ancient plants.B.A tail of some ancient birds that couldn't fly.C.Ancient insects.D.A tail with feathers that belongs to a dinosaur.( )2.What do you know about the amber?a. It is about 100 million years old.b. It was discovered in Myanmar.c. It was discovered this year.d. It is a valuable fossil.A.ab B.bcC.ac D.bd( )3.What does the underlined phrase “evolve into”in Paragraph 5 mean?C.grow into D.get into( )4.Why is the finding particularly special?A.Because it is the first time that dinosaur feathers have been found in amber.B.Because researchers know which dinosaur the tail might belong to.C.Because researchers learned that Velociraptors evolved into birds.D.Because researchers learned that there were two types of coelurosaurs.( )5.The movie Jurassic Park is mentioned to ________.A.talk about the use of DNA in this areaB.call on people to watch itD.talk about science fiction[母亲节故事+世界名牌大学+科技创新]【20xx最新】精选【新版】2020【新版】2020中考英语题型集训二阅读理解It was the morning of Mother's Day when I was in Grade Seven. When my father phoned his parents and wished his mother a happy Mother's Day, I hugged my mother. My mother smiled and replied to me “thanks”. But both my father and I knew she was a little unhappy because my mother's mother left us about seven years ago.At about 10:30 that day, my father said, “Let's go outside of the city. There is a small hill. We can breathe the fresh air and pick some flowers on the hill.” So we went, driving down the country roads.At a quarter past twelve, we had our lunch in a small restaurant at the foot of the hill. Then we climbed the hill. We saw a lot of flowers there. The flowers were beautiful though we didn't even know their names. My mother ran quickly to enjoy the flowers. Carefully, she picked a few here and a few there. On our way home there was a big smile on her face.When we were passing a nursing home, my mother saw an old granny sitting in a chair. She had no children with her. My father stopped the car and my mother walked to the old woman. She put the flowers in the granny's hands, and smiled at her. The old granny thanked her again and again.With a happy smile, my mother came back to us. I asked her, “Who is that old granny? You haven't told me anything about her before.”“I don't know her,” my mother said. “It's Mother's Day. Those flowers mean a lot to her.”( )1.My mother was a little unhappy on Mother's Day because ________.A.my father phoned his parentsB.her mother has diedC.her mother was in a nursing homeD.I didn't wish her a happy Mother's Day( )2.The family ________ to the small hill outside of the city.A.walked B.took a busC.drove a car D.rode bikes( )3.My mother picked many beautiful flowers ________.A.in a restaurant B.on a small hillC.in their garden D.in a nursing home( )4.My mother gave the flowers to the old granny to ________.A.look after the old womanB.make the old woman happyC.say thanks to the old womanD.tell her that she could be her child( )5.From this passage, we know that the young mother was very ________.A.happy B.lonelyC.helpful D.kindheartedB [20xx·十堰]I go to school the youth to learn the future.—Robert FrostHarvard UniversityType (类型): privateCreated Time: 1636Location: Cambridge, Massachusetts, USAHarvard University's history, influence and wealth have made it one of the most famous universities in the world.University of OxfordType: public (公立的)Created Time: Not quite clearLocation: Oxford, BritainThe University of Oxford is the second oldest university in the world and the oldest in the Englishspeaking world.University of CambridgeType: publicCreated Time: 1209Location: Cambridge, BritainThe University of Cambridge is the second oldest university in the Englishspeaking world and the sixth oldest in Europe.Tsinghua UniversityType: publicCreated Time: 1211Location: Haidian District, Beijing,ChinaTsinghua University was originally (起初) under the name “Tsinghua Xuetang”.

If so, then you could be a super recognizer.Usually it is easy for someone to recognize the faces of their family members and friends. But it could be difficult for them to remember faces that they have only seen once. However, studies have found that super recognizers have amazing face recognition skills. They can remember at least 80 per cent of faces they have ever seen. According to the Daily Mail, at least one in 50 people are super recognizers.A study was carried out in Bournemouth University of UK recently. Researchers tried to find whether super recognizers have a different way to remember faces. They found that when these people look at faces, they spend more time looking at the person's nose. They also found that these people are not smarter than others. Their super ability is restricted (有限的) only to face recognition.Another important finding is that there are two subtypes (子类型) of super recognition. Some never forget faces. But for some, if you show pairs of faces to them at the same time, they can quickly decide whether the faces are of the same person or two different people. In fact, many super recognizers say they are very good at recognizing faces in a crowd.These subtypes of super recognition could be applied to many areas of life. For example, the skills could be very useful at a passport control checkpoint. Super recognizerscould also help police find known troublemakers and even missing people in the crowd.( )1.The super recognizers can remember ________ of the faces they've ever seen.A.allB.at least 80 per centC.at least 50 per centD.half( )2.What did the university's study find about super recognizers?A.They spend the same time on one's eyes and nose.B.They pay more attention to a person's nose.C.They are a lot smarter than other people.D.They are also very good at voice recognition.( )3.What are the two subtypes of super recognition?a.

题型二阅读理解(任务型阅读)1-10Passage 1(2018.河北)Artificial intelligence( AI)(人工智能)is growing rapidly. We are living in a world that depends more and more on AI. AI is a group of technologies that help machines get, understand and use information to do tasks.AI's recent developments have got a lot of social attention. Some people have welcomed AI because it makes things possible. For example, AI will have a big influence on areas like medicine and engineering. But this attention has also produced a lot of fear. Especially, many workers are worrying that AI could make them lose their jobs.According to a recent study, nearly five percent of jobs will disappear because of AI. In some industries,AI is already doing the work that people used to do, such as assembling(装配)cars, digging the coal and lifting goods. Self- driving cars and trucks controlled by AI will also take away the driver's jobs in the future.On the other hand, AI will also create many new jobs for people. More people will be needed to write programmes for AI systems(系统)and they will set up and work on them, too. Meanwhile, jobs that require feelings, excellent communication skills with people will not be replaced(取代)by AI. These includes jobs in fields like teaching, nursing and personal training.AI is here. It is changing how people live and work in many ways. That makes AI important to watch, not to fear.1、2题完成句子;3题简略回答问题;4题找出并写下第二段的主题句;5题将文中画线句子译成汉语。

It can study the movements of human players and the speeds of the ball. In this way,it can exactly judge(判断) the players' skill levels (水平) . Then it uses the information to change the ways to play. If the players are just beginners,Forpheus will play in a slow and easy way, but if the players are better ones, the robot will play in a faster and more difficult way. What's more, while playing, it encourages players to try their best with words like "Good job!", "Come on!" and so on. At the same time, it gives some good advice to improve their skills. So it is both a good partner and a clever coach.` Science and technology is developing quickly these days and it's hard to imagine what will happen in the future.

But is it true?Of the studies about Murphy's Law,the most famous one is the buttered toast (烤面包片)phenomenon (现象) :One toast with butter falls,it lands butter- side down most of the time.To prove this, Robert Matthews did a lot of experiments with more than 1,000 British school kids in 2001.In the first experiment,each student put a piece of buttered toast on a plate,let it fall off 20 times and noted which side it landed on. Of almost 10,000 experiments,toast landed butter-side down 62 percent of the time.But you may ask: Is it the butter that plays a role? Here comes Matthews' second experiment.This time,instead of butter,the toast had a letter "B"written on one side. It still landed 58 percent of the time on the B-side.This proved that Murphy's Law is true: If the toast can land butter-side down,it will do so.Matthews did another experiment. When students threw the toast from a height of 2. 5 metres,the toast landed butter-side down only 47 percent of the time."Toast lands butter-side down because humans aren't tall enough to let it land any other way," Matthews said.( )1. According to Murphy's Law,in an English class,if you don't want to be questioned by the teacher, you may end up failing answering the questions.( )2.In the first experiment of buttered toast, we know the toast landed butter-side down about 620 times.( )3. If the toast can land butter-side down,Murphy's Law is true.( )4. In the first two experiments,either the butter or the letter "B"plays a role.( )5. The passage is mainly talking about Murphy's Law depends on people's mentalstate (心理状态) .Passage 6(2018 .绥化)Do you have a nickname(呢称)? Most of us do by our looks, clothing, or personality. But for cities, the meaning of their nicknames has much more than that.Many big cities have nicknames, such as New York-The Big Apple,London-The Great Smog, and Rome-The Eternal(永恒的) City. Why do cities have such nicknames?In the 1920s,there were many races in New York. People called the prizes of these races apples. Writer John J. Fitz Gerald first called New York the Big Apple, because New York is the place that many people dreamed of going to for the biggest prize of all.For Rome, as the name suggests, the answer is simple, Romans believed that no matter what happened to the world, Rome would go on forever. Rome has been an important center of power for more than 2,000 years.As for London, in the Victorian period, it had problems with its air.

For a man,a tiger, a fish, a bird, or evena worm, food is necessary.Generally speaking, all living things are sure to die without food.In every part of the world,many different kinds of animals share living places and live incommunities(群落) together. They are connected in a food chain(链) .Within a food chain, some living things are producers and some are consumers(消费者). Plants are producers because they use sunlight,soil and other things to make their own food. Animals are consumers because they have to eat other animals or plants.There are four different kinds of consumers in the animal kingdom. A carnivore is an animal that only eats other animals. An herbivore is an animal that only eats plants. An omnivore is an animal that eats both plants and animals. A scavenger is an animal that eats dead animals.Look at the picture.It is an example of a food chain. The food chain shows the order that animals eat each other in a community.In the picture, you can see what animal or plant is food for another animal. See? A leaf is food for a grasshopper,which then becomes food for a hungry mouse. The mouse is food for a snake. The snake is eaten by an eagle.In this way, all of these animals are connected.( )1. The main idea of the passage is "Four kinds of consumers".( )2. The underlined word "scavenger"means in Chinese "腐生动物". ( )3. The food for a mouse according to the picture is a grasshopper. ( )4. All kinds of animals share their living places with others. ( )5. There are some Living things which don't need to eat food.判断正误型阅读Passage 111.F2.T3.F4.T5.FPassage 121.T2.F3.F4.T5.TPassage 131.

题型二阅读理解(任务型阅读)1-10Passage 1(河北)Artificial intelligence( AI)(人工智能)is growing rapidly. We are living in a world that depends more and more on AI. AI is a group of technologies that help machines get, understand and use information to do tasks.AI's recent developments have got a lot of social attention. Some people have welcomed AI because it makes things possible. For example, AI will have a big influence on areas like medicine and engineering. But this attention has also produced a lot of fear. Especially, many workers are worrying that AI could make them lose their jobs.According to a recent study, nearly five percent of jobs will disappear because of AI. In some industries,AI is already doing the work that people used to do, such as assembling (装配)cars, digging the coal and lifting goods. Self- driving cars and trucks controlled by AI will also take away the driver's jobs in the future.On the other hand, AI will also create many new jobs for people. More people will be needed to write programmes for AI systems(系统)and they will set up and work on them, too. Meanwhile, jobs that require feelings, excellent communication skills with people will not be replaced(取代)by AI. These includes jobs in fields like teaching, nursing and personal training.AI is here. It is changing how people live and work in many ways. That makes AI important to watch, not to fear.1、2题完成句子;3题简略回答问题;4题找出并写下第二段的主题句;5题将文中画线句子译成汉语。

This isn't a bad thing.If English hadn't changedfor a long time, we won't have words to describe telephones, washing machines, computers or some other new things.Language changes for several reasons. First, it changes because the needs of its speaker change. New technologies, new products, and new experiences need new words to express them clearly. Another reason for change is that different people have different language experiences. People use different sets of words and expressions, because they have different ages, jobs, education levels(水平)and so on.How does language develop then? On the one hand, many of the languages changes begin with young people. When young people communicate with others of their own age, their language grows in grammar, words and expressions that are different from the older people's. Some have a short lifetime but others can influence the language for long. On the other hand, we get new words in many different ways. We borrow them from other languages, we create them by making words shorter or combining words and we make them out of proper names.Languages that don't change over time are considered dead languages. The fact that English changes so much shows that it is alive and well.1. What does the writer think of the change and development of language?He thinks it is .2. Why do people use different sets of words and expressions according to the passage?Because their and education levels are different.3. How many reasons for language change are mentioned in this passage?The writer mentions ______reasons.4. How do young people help develop language?They do it when they ____________ others of their own age.5.

People have one of these four types. Blood type O is the most common around the world. Blood type A is the second most common, and blood type AB is the least common.In 1927, a Japanese doctor found that people with different blood types have different personalities (性格) ,too. He said that people with type A blood are usually calm and serious; people with type B blood are cheerful and outgoing; people with type O blood are generous and honest; while those with type AB blood are often caring and talented.More recently, a doctor in the United States wrote a book that connects blood types with what people eat. The book suggests people with type o blood should eat more meat and less bread.A diet for people with type A blood includes more vegetables. His book, Eat Right for Your Type, has been a hit with people who want to lose weight. However, Dr. Peter D' Adamo believes that eating food that matches a person's blood type will make the person healthier in other ways, too.
