He began to think and tried to find out why the apple fell. Then he discovered how the sun, moon, and stars are kept in their places.A boy named James Watt sat quietly by the fire, watching the lid of the kettle move up and down. He wanted to find out why the steam in the kettle moved the lid. From that time he went on thinking and thinking. And when he became a man, he improved the steam engine(蒸汽机) so much that it could easily do the work of many horses.James Ferguson was a poor boy. Once, seeing the inside of a watch, he wondered. “Why should I not make a watch?” But how could he get the materials to make the mainspring(钟表的主发条)? He soon found he could make it with whalebone(鲸骨). He then made a wooden clock which kept good time. His motto(座右铭) was “I will think of it.” And he made his thoughts useful to himself and the world.Boys and girls, when you have a difficult lesson to learn, don't lose heart, and don't ask someone for help before helping yourselves.

When he wrote his name, I noticed that his fingernailswere clean; instead of having some untidy personal habits.“Don't you call these things letters of recommendation?

Grades were still very low but improving little by little.I worked really hard. However, I was never the best at everything.I haven't realized until recently that I really don't have to be the best at everything. I was too hard on myself.

2019年中考英语阅读理解编习题(二)附答案【能力选练】 A(2019中考选练)If you want to become a fluent(流利的)English speaker you should take some advice: There are four skills in learning English. They are reading, listening, speaking, and writing. The most important thing you must remember is that if you want to improve your speaking and writing skills you should first master the skills of reading and listening.Read as much as you can. But your reading must be active. It means that you must think about the meaning of the sentence, the meanings of the unfamiliar words, etc. There is no need for you to pay much attention to grammars or try to understand all the unfamiliar words you come across, but the fact that you see them for the first time and recognize them whenever you see them, for example in other passages or books, is enough. It would be better to prepare yourself a notebook so you can write down the important words or sentences in it_As for listening, there are two choices: besides reading, you can listen every day for about 30 minutes. You can only pay attention to your reading and become skillful at your reading, then you can catch up on your listening. Since you have lots of inputs in your mind, you can easily guess what the speaker is going to say. This never means that you should not practice listening.For listening you can listen to cartoons or some movies that are specially made for children. Their languages are easy. Or if you are good at listening you can listen to VOA or BBC programs every day. Again the thing to remember is being active in listening and preferably taking some notes.If you follow these pieces of advice, your speaking and writing will improve automatically, and you can be sure that with a little effort they will become perfect.1. According to the author, which should you improve first among the four skills?A. Reading and writing.B. Reading and listening.C. Writing andspeaking. D. Speaking and listening.2. The underlined phrase "come across" in Paragraph 2 can probably be replaced by "_______".A. meet byaccident B. discoverC. find on purposeD. look for3. The author seems to agree with the view that_______.A. everyone should listen to VOA or BBC programs every dayB. you needn't practice listening if you keep on reading every dayC. being good at reading is helpful in improving your listeningD. you should take notes of whatever you are hearing4. The passage is mainly about how to_______.A. choose suitable listening materialsB. deal with new words in readingC. read as many English books as possibleD. become fluent in speaking and writing English参考答案BACD【能力选练】 B中考英语阅读理解****浪费可耻Waste can be seen everywhere in the school. Some students ask for more food than they can eat and others often forget to turn off the lights when they leave the classroom. They say they can afford these things. But I don’t agree with them.Waste can bring a lot of problems. Although China is rich in some resources(资源), we are short of(缺乏) others, for example, fresh water(淡水). It is reported that we will have no coal(煤) or oil to use in 100 years. So if we go on wasting our resources,what can we use in the future and where can we move? Think about it. I think we should say no to the students who waste things every day. Everybody should stop wasting as soon as possible.In our everyday life, we can do many things to prevent waste from happening, for example, turn off the water taps(水龙头) when we finish washing, turn off the lights when we leave the classroom, try not to order more food than we need, and so on. Little by little, everything will be changed. Waste can be stopped one day, if we do our best.◆根据以上短文内容,然后从每题所给的四个选项中选择最佳选项。

山西太原市2019中考英语二轮阅读理解训练及答案【中考先睹为快】Passage ANo one is glad to hear that his body has to be cut open by a surgeon(外科医生) and part of it is taken out. Today, however, we needn't worry about feeling pain during the operation. The sick person falls into a kind of sleep, and when he awakes, the operation is finished. But these happy conditions are fairly new. It is not many years since a man who had to have an operation felt all its pain.Long ago, operations had usually to be done while the sick man could feel everything. The sick man had to be held down on a table by force while the doctors did their best for him. He could feel all the pain if his leg or arm was being cut off, and his fearful cries filled the room and the hearts of those who watched.Soon after 1770, Josept Priestley discovered a gas which is now called "laughing gas". Laughing gas became known in America. Young men and women went to parties to try it. Most of them spent their time laughing, but one man at a party, Horace Wells, noticed that people didn't seem to feel pain when they were using this gas. He decided to make an experiment on himself. He asked a friend to help him.Wells took some of the gas, and his friend pulled out one of Well's teeth. Wells felt no pain at all. As he didn't know enou gh about laughing gas, he gave a man less gas than he should have. The man cried out with pain when his tooth was being pulled out. Wells tried again, but this time he gave too much of the gas, and the man died. Wells never forgot this terrible event.1. It is ____ since a man being operated felt all the pain.A. a few more yearsB. not very longC. few yearsD. two thousand years2. Long ago, when the sick man was operated on, he ____.A. could feel nothingB. could not want anythingC. could feel all the painD. could do anything3. Using the laughing gas, the people did not seem to ____.A. be afraid of anythingB. feel painC. want to go to the partiesD. be ill4. If a man took less laughing gas than he should have when an operation went on, he ____.A. felt nothingB. felt very comfortableC. still felt painD. would die5. One who took too much of the laughing gas ____.A. would laugh all the timeB. would dieC. would never feel againD. would be very calm阅读理解参考答案:1—5 BCBCBPassage 24When I was growing up in America, I was ashamed of my mother's Chinese English. Because of her English, she was often treated unfairly. People in department stores, at banks, and at restaurants did not take her seriously, pretended not to Understand her, or even acted as if they did not hear her.My mother has realized the disadvantages of her English as well. When I was fifteen, she used to have me call people on phone to pretend I was she. I was forced to ask for information or even to yell at people who had been rude to her.

"And my mother was standing beside me, whispering loudly, "Why he doesn't send me the cheek. It's already two weeks late."And then ,in perfect English I said : "I'm getting rather anxious .You agreed to send the check two weeks ago, but it hasn't arrived." Then she talked more loudly. "What does he want? I'll come to New York and say it in front of his boss ."And so I turned to the stockbroker again, "I can't accept any more excuses. If I don't receive the check immediately, I have to speak to your manager when I am in New York next week." The next week we ended up in New York. While I was sitting there red-faced, my mother, the real Mrs. Tan, was shouting to his boss in her broken English. When I was a teenager, my mother's broken English embarrassed me. But now, I see it differently. To me, my mother's English is perfectly clear, perfectly natural. It is my mother tongue. Her language, as I hear it, is clear and direct t.

It challenges the belief(信念) that short-sightedness is caused by computer use, watching TV or reading in weak light.The Australian government researchers believe that the sunlight is good for people’s eyes. They compared the vision(视力) and habits of 100 seven-year-old children in Singapore and Australia. In all, 30% of the Singaporean children were short-sighted—this rate(比率) was ten times higher than Australian children.Both groups spend a similar amount(数量) of time reading, watching television and playing computer games. However the Singaporean children spent an average (平均) of only half an hour a day outdoors—90 minutes less than the Australian children.Professor Ian Morgan, from the Australian Research Council’s vision Centre, said, “Humans are naturally long-sighted, but when people begin to go to school and spend little or no time outdoors, the number of short-sighted people gets larger. We’re also seeing more and more short-sighted children in cities all around the world and the main reason may be that city children spend less time outdoors.Daylight can be hundreds of times brighter than indoor light. But why does playingoutside prevent us from becoming short-sighted? Scientists believe that natural light has a special chemical(化学物质) which stops the eyeball from growing out of shape and prevents people from becoming short-sighted.So be outdoors. It doesn’t matter if that time is spent having a picnic or having sports.1. How much time did the Australian children spend outdoors on average according tothe research?A. 30 minutes.B. 60 minutes.C. 90 minutes.D. 120 minutes.2. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A. If people spend less time outdoors they will certainly become short-sighted.B. There are fewer short-sighted Singaporean Children than Australian children becausethey have more knowledge of protecting their eyesight.C. There will be fewer risks of getting short-sighted if people spend two or three hoursa day playing outside.D. When people begin to go to school they will become long-sighted.3. What is the fifth paragraph mainly about?A. Why natural daylight has a special chemical.B. Why daylight prevents people from becoming short-sighted.C. Why daylight is much brighter than indoor light.D. What the special chemical which can stop eyeballs from growing out of shape is.参考答案1. D 2. C 3. BB(2019中考保健与健康类选练)How much sleep do we need? We are all different. Some people need only three hours of sleep a night. Others need ten hours of sleep a night. Most Americans sleep an average ( 平均) of seven to eight hours a night. After the age of fifty, the average sleep time goes down to 6.5 hours a day. Most people have a night when they cannot sleep. About one in three(1/3) Americans has a problem with sleep. Many of these people can not fall asleep. The name of this problem is insomnia.This is not a new problem. Many famous people in history had insomnia. Some of these people had special ideas to make them sleep. Benjamin Franklin, a famous statesman ( 政治家 ) and inventor, had four beds. He moved from one to another to fall asleep.

Some of the things you see give off light of their own. The sun, the stars, a lighted lamp are examples that can be seen by their own light. Such things are luminous. Most of the things you see are not giving off light of their own. They are simply reflecting light that falls on them from the sun or some other luminous bodies. The moon, for example, does not give off any light of its own. It is non-luminous. You see it because sunlight falls on it and some of it reflects in our direction. So moon light is only second hand sunlight.When you look at a book, it sends to your eyes some of the light which falls on it, and you see the book. If light could be kept out from where you are so that there would be no light for the book to reflect, then you could not see the book even with your eyes wide open.Light travels so fast that the time in which it travels from the book you are reading to your eyes is so short as if there were no time at all. Light reaches us from the moon, which is about 380 000 kilometers away, in only a little more than a second.1. You can see the book because_______.A. your eyes are close to itB. it reflects some of the sunlightC. it has light of its ownD. your eyesight can get to it2.

阅读下列短文,从每小题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
In nature, you may see many insects and animals of different colours. Have you ever wondered why? Locusts(蝗虫) are super delicious food for birds, but it is not always an easy job for birds to catch them. It is neither because locusts are good jumpers or runners nor because they are smarter than enemies. The reason is that the colours of locusts change with the colours of crops. When crops are young, locusts look green. But when autumn comes, locusts change to yellow or brown as crops do. Brown bears, tigers and other animals move quietly through forests. They can’t be seen easily by their enemies. This is because they have colours similar to the trees. For the same reason, polar bears that live on a land of snow and ice are white. Butterflies and bees living among the flowers are colourful like flowers. Soil insects are mostly dark–coloured and they live under the soil in a dark and wet environment. However, insects with colours different from plants can easily be found and eaten by others. So in order to survive, they have to hide themselves in the daytime and appear only at night.Have you ever noticed any even stranger acts? The ink fish in the sea can send out some very black ink when faces danger. As the ink spreads over, its enemies will find themselves suddenly in a dark world. At the same time the ink fish immediately swims away. That is how it keeps itself safe though it is not strong at all.1.According to the passage, most soil insects ______ .A. do not have bright coloursB. change their colours with the soilC. do not appear in the daytimeD. eat colourful insects like butterflies and bees2.What’s the meaning of the underlined word “survive” in the passage?A. liveB. sleepC. find foodD. lay eggs3.

They change the colours with the crops.4.The ink fish ______ so that its enemies will not see it .A. changes its colourB. appears only at nightC. hides itself in the sea rocksD. makes the water around it black5.What can we learn from the passage?A.

By the middle 1950s, he had become one of the best-loved and most successful children's book writers in the world. His books are very popular with young readers. They enjoy the invented words and the pictures of unusual funny animals and plants.In 1954, life magazine published(刊登) a report about school children who could not read. The report said many children's books were not interesting. Doctor Seuss strongly hoped to help children and decided to write books that were interesting and easy to read. He used words with the same ending sound, like fish and wish. He did not receive training in art. Yet, he drew the pictures for most of his books.In 1957, Dr. Seuss wrote The Cat in the Hat. He used less than 230 words to write the book and even a six-year-old should be able to read it. It was a fun story and easy to read. Children loved it. Their parents loved it, too. Today it is still one of the stories they like best. The success of The Cat in the Hat made him want to write more books for children. In 1960, he wrote a book using less than fifty words. The book is called Green Eggs and Ham.In 1984, Doctor Seuss won a Pulitzer Prize (普利策奖). He was honored for the education and enjoyment his books provided American children and their parents. He died at the age of 87, but his influence remains. Millions of his books have been sold worldwide. People say his books helped change the way American children learned to read. Yet, his books are loved by people of all ages. Doctor Seuss once said, "I do not write for children. I write for people.( )11. Doctor Seuss learned from the magazine that _______.A. some school children could not readB. many children's books were interestingC. children wanted to learn to readD. a writer for children was wanted ( )12.

He wrote the book The Cat in the Hat at the age of _____.A. 50B. 53C. 56D. 87( )14. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A. Doctor Seuss wrote Green Eggs and Ham with over 230 words.B. Doctor Seuss wrote books only for children in the United States.C. The Cat in the Hat was written only for six-year-old children.D.

From the text we know that Doctor Seuss __________.A. won a Pulitzer Prize soon after his deathB. sold millions of his books himself worldwideC. changed American children's way of readingD. wrote the largest number of books in the world阅读理解11—15 ACBDCPassage D飓风Anyone who has experienced a cyclone(飓风) will tell you how scary it can be. High winds and lots of rain can destroy a city in less than an hour. A big cyclone, named cyclone Debbie, hit Australia's east coast at the end of March.The wind was as fast as 236 km/h and destroyed houses, trees, cars and boats. Sea levels rose and flooded coastal towns. While rivers also flooded. Many cities near rivers went underwater.Hundreds of thousands of people had to leave their homes and farms, at least 8 people died, reported Courier Mail. The cyclone lasted for about 3 days. But the flooding was still happening 2 weeks later. Some cities never recover from a cyclone, while it takes years to rebuild.A tropical cyclone begins when a group of thunderstorms meet over warm, tropical waters. Lots of air and water is sucked into clouds from the ocean. Because the earth is rotating, the clouds start to spiral(螺旋式上升). That is why tropical cyclone has curved(使成弧形) shape when you see it on a map. For this reason, tropical cyclone can not form near Equator(赤道) because earth's rotation is not strong enough there. When the wind speed increases to 120 km/h, it changes from a tropical cyclone to a hurricane, typhoon or cyclone.So what is the difference between a cyclone, a hurricane, a typhoon?The answer is actually quite simple.All three are the same. We just use different names for these storms in different places. In the Atlantic and Northeast Pacific Ocean around the US, the term hurricane is used. The same type of storm in the North Pacific Ocean near China is called typhoon. Cyclones occur in the South Pacific and Indian Ocean near Australia.1. When the wind speed increases to ________, it changes from a tropical cyclone toa hurricane.A. 2 km/mB. 3 km/mC. 4 km/sD. 5 km/s2. The underlined word “recover” in Paragraph 3 probably means “________” in Chinese.A. 恢复B. 康复C. 痊愈D. 建造3. Australian hurricanes caused ________.A. many people lost their homeB. trees, cars and boats were destroyedC. sea levels roseD. including A,B and C4. Which of the following is TRUE?A. When the wind speed increases to 125 km/h, it changes from a tropical cyclone to a hurricane.B. A group of thunderstorms meet over cold, tropical waters.C. The earth can rotate.D. Tropical cyclones can be seen near Equator.5. What does the passage mainly talk about?A. A terrible hurricane—Debbie.B. The earth's rotation.C. The formation of cyclone.D. A terrible hurricane and how a hurricane forms. 【主旨大意】本文是一篇说明文。
