I just couldn't imagine why she had made her parentsso angry．It seemed that Katie had been spending money in the lunchroom. Her parents explained that Katie brought a great homemade lunch each day, and there was no reason for her to buy school lunch. They wondered why but failed．So they asked me to help them get to the bottom of this situation.The next day, I asked Katie to my office. “Why are you buying lunches, Katie? What happened to your homemade lunch?” I asked. “I lose it,” she replied. “I don't believe you, Katie. Is someone stealing your lunch, Katie?” I asked. “No. I just lose it,” she said．Well, there was nothing else I could do．The problem was still unsolved the next week when I noticed a boy who was new to the school sitting alone at a lunch table. He always looked sad and scared. I thought I would go and sit with him for a while. As I walked towards him, I noticed the lunch bag on the table. The name on the bag said “Katie”.Now I understood and I talked to Katie. It seemed that the new boy never brought a lunch, and he wouldn’t go to the lunch line for a free lunch. He had told Katie his secret and asked her not to tell anyone that his parents wanted him to get a free lunch at school. Katie asked me not to tell her parents, but I drove to her house that evening after I was sure that she was in bed. I had never seen parents so proud of their child.Katie still buys lunch every day at school. And every day, as she heads out of the door, her mom hands her a delicious homemade lunch．1．What did the writer think of Katie?A．She behaved well at school．B．She often tells lies at school．C．She often made trouble at school．D．She used to be a discipline problem．2．Why did Katie eat school lunch instead of her homemade lunch every day?A．She lost her homemade lunch．B．She had her homemade lunch stolen．C．She di dn’t like the taste of her homemade lunch．D．She gave her homemade lunch to a hungry boy．3．How did Katie’s parents feel when they knew the truth about the lunch?A．They were very angry.B．They were quite proud．C．They were rather sad.D．They were so scared．4．What can we learn from the passage?A．Katie’s secret of lunch was discovered by the writer．B．Katie was told that her parents had known her secret．C．Katie told the writer the truth of her lunch during their first talk．D．Katie stopped buying lunch at school after her secret was discovered．B14、“I believe you’re the right person to write an advice column (专栏) for the students called Dear Amy!” Jenny, editor of the school newspaper, said to Andy, who finally agreed to accept the job if Jenny promised not to tell it to anyone else. At first it wasn’t too bad. Most of the letters he received were interesting and quite easy to answer. Then came a letter from a person named Joe.“Dear Amy,” it began, “I’m in real trouble. I’ve wanted to be a songwriter all my life, but my parents won’t even let me take music lessons. I have a guitar, but they both get angry if I play. I’ve tried explaining, but they won’t listen. I feel sad. Should I run away from home? Maybe that will make my parents agree.” The letter signed “Joe”.Andy thought about this letter for a long time. Should he advise someone to run away from home? Probably not. But didn’t Joe have a right to be a songwriter if he wanted to? Andy thought hard, but couldn’t think out a good answer. Andy couldn’t s leep. He just worried about poor Joe.At a bar a few days later, Eleanor, a girl in Andy’s math class, sat down next to him and asked, “ What’s wrong with you? You look a little worried.”“I guess I do,” said Andy.“If you got an problem, why don’t you try writing to Dear Amy about it?” asked Eleanor.Andy sighed; but she continued, “in fact, I guess Dear Amy is rather busy with other problems. She still hasn’t answered thephony letter I wrote her last week. You’d better read it – it may even make the most hard-hearted person cry! It was supposed to be from a songwriter named Joe.”1．Andy might be ______.A．an editor of the school newspaperB．a songwriterC．a math teacherD．a doctor in the school2．It’s clear “Dear Amy” ______.A．helps students who want to run away from homeB．answers letters from the studentsC．writes songs for the studentsD．meets readers at a bar3．It seemed to be easy for Andy to do the job until _____.A．he changed his nameB．received a letter signed “Joe’C．he met Eleanor at a barD．his name was well-known4．In the letter Joe says that ______.A．his parents don’t know about musicB．his classmates don’t understand himC．he would stay away from his parentsD．he would obey his parents5．The underlined word “ phony ” perhaps means ______.A．unreal B．boyishC．popular D．favoriteC15、The Vieira family moved to the United States in 1981.At that time, they decided to stop speaking Spanish at home and only communicate in English. This was because they were now living in an English-speaking country.Now the Vieira children are adults, and they sometimes travel to Spain to visit their family and friends. But they can't communicate with them. Unfortunately this is common. When people move to new countries, they often leave their own customs and mother language behind. This is a mistake because there are many benefits to knowing more than one language.One advantage of speaking more than one language is that you can communicate with more people around the world. You don't have to depend on others to talk for you, so you are more independent. People who know only one language must use others to help them communicate.Furthermore, speaking the second language also allows people to experience other cultures and customs more effectively .Local expressions, vocabulary, and even jokes can have a powerful effect on a person's understanding of other culture. So knowing more than one language increases your knowledge of other cultures.Finally, having more multi-language speakers improves relationships between countries. If people from different countries can communicate well, the world can become closer. Countries will then have more respect for each other and better understand each other's problems.The benefits of knowing more than one language are clear. In fact, there are no disadvantages. It is very sad that many people don't try to learn another language. It's even worse when people let themselves forget their mother language and become silenced.1．What's the passage mainly about?A．The benefits of learning other languages. B．The reasons why people come to America.C．The importance of learning English. D．How to learn another language.2．The passage begins with the experience of Vieira family in order to ________.A．discuss the need of teaching a new languageB．introduce the passage's main characters to the readersC．describe the advantages of moving to another countryD．show the problem of speaking only one language3．The underlined phrase “multi­language speakers” (paragraph 5) means “people who know ________.”A．their mother language B．a new languageC．more than one language D．baby language4．According to the passage, if you can speak more than one language, you can ________A．find a better job B．make more friendsC．better understand history D．communicate more independently5．Based on the last paragraph, which of the following is the worst?A．Not knowing another language. B．Forgetting one's language.C．Refusing to learn another language. D．Failing to communicate with others.D16、Father’s Day has a very short history. It was started because there was a Mother’s Day. And just because some Americans thought that if we had a Mother’s Day, we should also have a Father’s Day. Father’s Day has become important in North America. And shopkeepers found it was a good way to get people to buy presents for their fathers, presents from their shops.By the way, very few countries have a Father’s Day, though some have Children’s Day, or a special day for boys and another for girls. More and more countries are having Mother’s Day, so maybe Father‘s Day will also become popular before too long. Now, wha t do people in North America do on Father’s Day? The newspapers, radios, and TV tell children what they should do－buy a Father’s Day present for your father. They even tell a wife to buy a Father’s Day present－not for her father but for her husband, even if he is not yet a father. And they tell grandchildren to buy a Father’s Day present for their grandfathers.The important thing to remember about Father’s Day is that American children can show their love to their fathers in a more open way.1．Father’s D ay was started just because ________.A．there was a Mother’s Day B．there was a Children’s DayC．people liked their fathers a lot D．fathers were more important2．Which of the following is NOT true?A．Many countries have a Father‘s Day.B．Father’s Day has a long history.C．Father’s Day has become important in North America.D．Maybe Father’s Day will become popular before too long.3．In America, people have a Father’s Day to ________.A．go shopping with their fathers B．help their fathers do somethingC．show their love to their fathers D．get money from their fathers4．On Father’s Day, shopkeepers always want ________.A．people to buy as many presents as possibleB．children to buy presents only for their fathersC．women to buy presents only for their husbandsD．grandchildren to buy a Father’s Day present only for their grandfathers5．It can be learned from the article that ________.A．the writer is against Father’s DayB．many countries have a Father’s DayC．shopkeepers can get more money on Father’s Da y than usualD．We don‘t need to have a Father’s DayE17、阅读下列短文，根据短文内容，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选择最佳选项。

There was nothing that she wanted more than a Happy Hannah doll. It was $29.95. Unluckily, Jenny didn’t even have the 95 cents.As she crossed the street, she thought about doing her brother's housework, cleaning the floor, washing the dishes all month, but even then she would have only eleven dollars. Suddenly, something small and pink in the snow caught her eyes.Jenny walked over and picked it up from the snow. It was a beautiful wallet. She opened the wallet and found many dollars and a woman’s driver’s license in it. Jenny put the wallet into her bag quickly. She turned around and walked back.Jenny’s heart beat(跳动) fast as she went into the store. She had long dreamed about this moment, but something didn’t feelright. As she got to the Happy Hannah dolls, she pushed away her feelings. She grabbed(抓起) one and walked toward the checkout.As Jenny was waiting to pay, her mobile phone rang. It was her grandma. Jenny’s heart was suddenly filled with love and warmth when she thought of her. She put the doll down and answered the phone.“Hi, Grandma? I’m going to be a little bit late tonight...Alright...I love you, too.” Jenny left the store and walked all the way to 301 West Street. The woman who answered the door looked sad.“Here, I found this in the snow,” Jenny said.“Oh, good God! This is the money for the orphanage(孤儿院)! Thank you!”After doing her brother's housework for three months, Jenny finally got a Happy Hannah doll.

It has many things that we need to help us grow. It can give us energy and good health. Milk is a food enjoyed by people of all ages as we can easilydigestit.Milk is produced by all mother animals to feed their babies after they are born. Some such as cows produce more milk thantheir young ones need, so the extra milk is used by people. Nowadays, baby cows are often taught to eat solid food earlier, so that we can use most of the cow’s milk. A cow can produce as much as 45 liters of milk a day. She will give good milk if she is fed on rich grass. Many products can be made from cow’s milk. The simplest is cream, which is made from the fat of the milk. Butter is made from cream. Cream is also used for making cakes and other foods. Another common milk product is cheese. Cow’s milk can be also turned into powdered milk.In countries where cows are not raised, people get milk from other animals. The buffalo gives milk to the people of India. In China, Iran and Turkey, a large number of sheep and goats are kept for their milk. And many Arabs drink camel’s milk. For babies, however, the best of all is their mother’s milk which is given to them during their first few months of life.1．People need milk because it can .A．make us fat and cleverB．make us very richC．give us healthy thingsD．help us keep young2．The second paragraph tells us that people can get more milk if .A．the cows are fed on rich grassB．the baby cows eat nothing solidC．the mother cows eat solid foodD．the baby cows are fed with less milk3．The underlined word “digest” in the passage means ““.A．制作B．消化C．遗漏D．满足4．From the passage, we can learn that .A．cows can also produce cheese for peopleB．cakes can be made with the powdered milkC．sheep and camels provide people with milk tooD．milk can make people not only strong but also rich5．Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?A．People can use as much as 45 liters of milk a day.B．Milk is a completely good food for people’s healthC．Many other foods can be made with the products of milkD．Mothers’ milk is the best food for babies in their early months.15、Having a teenager at home can be a real headache. Many teenagers smoke, wear strange hairstyle and even fight. Generally , they are often taking risks.Earlier studies have shown that teenagers are more likely to make irrational decisions than people from any other age group, including children an d adults. Is it that teenagers are too young to tell right from wrong? Not really. So what’s the reason? According to Laurence, a teacher from a US university, the reason is that teenagers care a lot about how their peers (同龄人) view them—that is “peer influence”.As children enter their teenage years, they spend more time with their friends and classmates, and also they care more about what they think of them. This makes teenagers make decisions without thinking about the costs.In a test, a group of teenagers were asked to play a video driving game. When they played with their friends watching around them, they took more chances and drove more carelessly because that would increase their possibility of winning. But when they played alone, they drove more safely.Why do peers have such a big influence on teens’ behavior?As Laurence sees it, a teenager’s brain is like a car with a good accelerator (油门) but a weak brake (刹车). The “accelerator” is fully developed by teenage years while the “brake” is still not fully developed. When teenagers are watched by their peers, t hey usually push hard on the accelerator. With their weak brake, it is likely that they are going to end up in an accident.But the good news is that a violent teenager doesn’t necessarily become a violent adult. About two-thirds to three-quarters of violent youth grow out of it. “They get more self-controlled.”1．What does the underlined word “irrational” in the 2nd paragraph probably mean?A．Quick. B．Crazy. C．Careful. D．Correct.2．According to the passage, teenagers often take risks because_____________.A．They like challenging themselves. B．They are too young to tell right from wrong.C．They don’t think about costs. D．They care about what their peers think of them.3．How does Laurence explain the influence of peer influence on teens’ behavior?A．By using a metaphor (比喻). B．By giving real examples.C．By presenting research results. D．By doing experiments.4．We can learn from the text that _____________________.A．teenagers are easy to have traffic accidents.B．peer influence has a good influence on teenagers.C．most of the teenagers become less violent when they grow up.D．teenagers shouldn’t spend all the free time with their friends.16、Experts know that a disaster is coming but they do not know when it will happen. They do know that it could cause a lot of damage. They think it will be worse than a hurricane. The disaster they are worried about is an earthquake.There is a break in the earth’s crust (外壳). It is called the San Andreas Fault. The San Andreas Fault is in California. Many earthquakes happen along the San Andreas Fault. In 1989 there was a big earthquake on the fault. The earthquake was called the “Loma Prieta Earthquake”. Many people were hurt or died. Many buildings were ruined. Lots of people lost their homes. Roads and bridges were also damaged.A large earthquake could happen in Southern California. Many small earthquakes have happened in the last year. Earthquake experts think that a large earthquake will happen there soon. They think a big earthquake will happen in the next few years. The San Andreas Fault has many power lines stretched across it. There are water channels close to the earthquake fault. A large earthquake in Southern California would destroy energy and water supplies (供应). Lots of people would be without power or water for weeks. Buildings that have not been built strong enough would be destroyed. Not all hospitals would be able to help people who were injured. Many people would die or be homeless.People need to be prepared. They need to know what to do if an earthquake happens. Everyone in California should have a survival kit at home. The emergency kit (应急箱) would include food and water. There should be medication and first aid supplies in the kit. A good survival kit will also have a portable radio, flashlights and spare batteries. All of the supplies in the kit should last at least 3 days.1．We can probably find this passage in .A．a science book B．a sports newspaperC．a travelling magazine D．a detective storybook2．Which of the following isn’t mentioned as a result of the “Loma Prieta Earthquake”?A．Many buildings were ruined.B．Roads and bridges were damaged.C．Many people were hurt or died.D．Lots of animals lost their living areas.3．Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A．All of the supplies in the emergency kit will last at most 3 days.B．A large earthquake in Southern California would destroy food supplies.C．A break in the earth’s crust in California is called the San Andreas Fault.D．Lots of people would be without power or water for days after the earthquake.4．The purpose of this passage is to tell people that .A．there will be a terrible earthquake in weeksB．the earthquake may cause such serious resultsC．the coming earthquake will destroy a lot of suppliesD．the earthquake is so terrible that we need to be preparedE17、Like visible light, UV rays are energy waves released by the sun, only they cannot been seen. Some exposure (暴露) to those waves can do a body good. For example, ultraviolet B (UV-B) rays tell human skin to make vitamin D．Too much exposure can be harmful, though. Overexposure to UV rays can cause DNA problems, opening the door for skin cancer. Too much sun can also cause painful sunburns.There are three different types of UV energy waves. They are UV-A, UV-B and UV-C rays. Each type moves at a different wavelength, with UV-A’s being the longest. Rays of UV-C are considered especially harmful to human beings. Fortunately, we have the ozone (臭氧) layer of the Earth’s atmosphere. It blocks out nearly all of the UV-C rays and most of the UV-B ones. The moon doesn’t have much of an atmosphere, though. Back on the moon, things are more dangerous. Ove r the years, astronauts have planted six American flags on the moon. Some scientists think that powerful UV rays could have bleached all the colorful flags white by now. For this reason, the moon is a dangerous place to visit without protection.You might think that astronauts who visit the moon would come home with terrible sunburns. That didn’t happen to Armstrong and his company. Neil Armstrong was a U.S. astronaut and the first person to walk on the moon. These astronauts all wore special spacesuits on their missions. Spacesuits were made with heavy fabrics that block out UV rays.When Armstrong set foot on the lunar surface, he was wearing a see-through helmet (头盔) with sun shades that were made of ultraviolet-stabilized polycarbonate. It is a very toug h plastic that protects astronauts’ faces from UV rays. A weaker material could put the space travelers at risk for “snow blindness” and other problems. Conditions like these arise when UV rays damag e parts of the human eyes.Sunscreen (防晒霜) defends us fro m the UV rays that do pass through the ozone layer. However, there’s really no need for an astronaut to put on sunscreen. The risk of sunburn goes way down when astronauts are inside a spaceship. Inside the International Space Station (ISS), for example, there is no need for special suits. Astronauts regularly do their work in nothingbut common cotton shirts and pants. To protect them from sunburns, the ISS uses UV-blocking windows. So do most space exploration ships.1．From Paragraph 1, we can know ________A．UV-B is harmful to our body B．vitamin D is good for our bodyC．UV rays cause DNA problems D．skin cancer is caused by the sun2．The underlined word “bleach” in Paragraph 3 most probably means “_________”.A．漂白B．伤害C．刺穿D．吹拂3．Armstrong didn’t get bad sunburns mainly because _________.A．there was no UV-C ray on the moonB．the moon had an ozone layer like the earthC．he wore a special spacesuit and helmetD．he put on enough special sunscreen4．According to the last paragraph, we can learn _________A．sunscreen plays a great role in protecting astronauts in spaceB．astronauts have to do their work in special suits in the ISSC．UV-blocking windows are regularly used on spaceshipsD．the risk of sunburns increases when astronauts are in space5．What’s the writer’s purpose of writing the passage?A．To show how astronauts are protected from UV rays.B．To introduce the first human who walked on the moon.C．To describe the new technology used in space.D．To show how we protect ourselves from sunburns.F18、I have a neighbor we call “Happy”. I have never seen her angry at anything and never heard her say a harsh (苛刻) word to anyone or about anyone.Happy and her husband Ben, 70, have a huge garden. They spent many happy hours together working on it. Most of thenei ghbors watched interestingly as Ben doubled the size of their garden. As the cost of food climbed faster than Ben’s beans, we all wished we also had such a large garden. As the rest of us spent our dollars at the market, Happy could be seen picking beans in her back yard.Last month, Happy and Ben invited most of the neighborhood over for an “all-day food fest”. We were told to bring gloves and arrive very early in the morning. We didn’t know what was about to take place.By 9:00 am, there were nine of us in the garden picking tomatoes, beans, okra, and squash. By 10:00 am, there was lots of laughter. We shared a lot of stories. By five o’clock, everyone was a little drunk from the wine and beer. After dinner, we p layed games. As we were leaving, Happy and Ben handed each of us a shopping bag filled with the bounty（收成）of the day, already packaged and frozen. What a delightful gift!Well, the point wasn’t so much about the food. The true gift was a day of friends enjoying one another’s company. None of it woul d have happened if it had been for Happy and Ben’s garden. Now they have a blog about gardening in case we decided to plant a garden. And I am so proud of my tomato plants!1．According to paragraph 2, people wish they also had a garden so that_______.A．t hey didn’t have to spend so much money on foodB．they could grow vegetables and sell at the marketC．they could invite their neighbors and hold parties in itD．they could spend happy times together with their family in it2．For what purpose did Happy and Ben invite the neighbors to their garden?A．To ask them to attend a birthday party.B．To help them get to know each other.C．To let them enjoy what they grew in the garden.D．To ask them to share some interesting stories.3．What did the writer most probably think of the time he spent in the garden?A．It was too long.

Though it was not fine and clouds appeared in the sky that morning, the little girl made her daily trip to school as usual. When school was over, winds became stronger and it began to rain.The mother of the little girl felt worried that her daughter would be afraid and that lightning might frighten her child. Following the bright light of lightning, the mother quickly got into her car and drove to her child’s school.As the mother drove along the road, she saw her little girl walking alone in the rain. To her great surprise, she found that when a lightning came, her daughter stopped, looked up and smiled. Another lightning came and then another followed. With each lightning, the little girl stopped, looked up and smiled at it.Inside the car, the mothe r asked her daughter, “What were you doing? Why did you look up andsmile when the lightning came?” The little girl answered with a smile, “Mum, you know, God (上帝) was looking at me.

Maybe that’s why there are 1.4 billion bicycles and only 400 million cars on roads worldwide today. Bikes can take you almost anywhere, and there is no oil cost!Get on a bicycle and ride around your countryside. You may discover something new that you didn’t notice all around you. Stopping and getting off a bike is easier than stopping and getting out of your car. You can ride a bike to work and enjoy exercising at the same time without polluting the environment. You don’t even have to ride all the way.Folding (折叠) bikes work well for people who ride the train. Just fold the bike and take it with you. You can do the same on an airplane. A folding bike can be packed into a bag or a small box. You can also take a common bike with you when you fly. But be sure to look for information by getting onairline websites. Not all airlines are bicycle-friendly to travellers.Health benefits of bicycling:It helps to prevent heart diseases.Bicycling helps to control your weight. A 15-minute bike ride to and from work three times a weekburns off five kilos of fat in a year.Bicycling can improve your mood.

Although it is quite common for Chinese people to dream of a developed China, most people also have their own dreams. I interviewed several young Chinese students with higher US educational backgrounds. They all had their own dreams for their native country.Fred Wang, an MBA student in the US, said, “I dream of equal chance for the young in China. Equality means all young people can compete fairly, based on the rule-of-law no matter whether they are rich or poor.”Yujie Zhao, another MBA student in California, said, “I dream of having the best education for my children so they will not lose at the starting line, and I dream of being able to take good care of my parents after they return home fro m work.”Yiqiong Zhang, an MBA graduate from the US, shared her dreams. “I have a dream which I have been holding for many years, that is after working hard for about 20 to 25 years, I can have enough money to build and manage a bookstore or a flower shop. Besides working hard, I am able to enjoy life, to play the piano, to hike and to enjoy a two-month-long vacation every year. This may be a common dream among young Chinese students.”There is no doubt that all of these young students have their own China Dream. They all love chasing their dreams. The beautiful China Dream requires everyone’s hard work. Everyone should work hard to make their dreams come true.42. Which is TRUE about the three young Chinese students?A. They receive higher education in their native country.B. They receive education of all levels in California.C. They have their own hopes and dreams for China.D.

Its yellow tail does have brown fur at its base, but there is no sign of black fur on its tail.There has been a discussion about whether it is shi or si in the sentence. “Thus when Heaven is about to confer a great office on any man...” (“故天将降大任于是/斯人也……”).Most people voted si as what they learned at school. However, People’s Education Press (PEP), a leading publisher of Chinese textbooks, claimed on Oct. 26 that all its textbooks say shi.Supporters of si feel shocked and say they’ve experienced the “Mandela Effect”—the situation in which a large number of people believe that an event happened when it didn’t.Many people believed that former South African president Nelson Mandela died in the 1980s in prison. However, Mandela was alive and well, eventually passing away in 2013. US researchers Fiona Broome created a website to detail her discovery of this public phenomenon, coining the term (术语) which has been in use till now.Some often joke that our memories have been changed by a strange force. In fact, psychologists have looked into the reasons for the Mandela Effect, as reported on the US-based website Verywell Mind.For example, your mind may fill in gaps missing in your memory to make more sense of it, which is called confabulation (虚构症). However, try not to feel bad—this is not lying, but rather remembering details that never happened.The internet may be another reason why we tend to have Mandela Effect events, as the news we read can be false from the beginning. In 2018, Science Journal published a study of over 100,000 news stories discussed across Twitter. It showed that false news can spread faster and reach more people than the truth. As a powerful way to spread information, the internet might be the main reason for falsehoods to enter our minds.24．Why does the writer mention the discussion about the sentence in Paragraph 3?A．To solve a mystery of Mandela Effect.B．To raise readers’ interest inconfabulation.C．To introduce the topic of the Mandela Effect.D．To discuss which word is the right one, si or shi.25．Which of the following words has the closest meaning to “coining” in Paragraph 6?A．Inventing.B．Borrowing.C．Describing.D．Correcting. 26．How does the writer further explain the Mandela Effect?A．By showing pictures.B．By giving examples.C．By listing numbers.D．By drawing conclusions.27．What can we infer from the passage?A．Most people know the former South African president Mandela well.B．The word si or shi both existed in Chinese textbooks published by the PEP.C．If you can tell the right Pikachu, you will never suffer from the Mandela Effect.D．If you remember details that never happened, you may experience the Mandela Effect.Language changes all the time. New words and phrases appear and develop. The words and pronunciations used by young people in the UK can be very different to those used by adults. Living in a multicultural(多元文化的) society has an effect on language, especially on young people, whose friends are often from a mix of backgrounds. TV and music also have big influence on the language of the young. Often UK singers sing in American accents(口音) without realizing.Young British people use lots of language that you usually can’t find in most dictionaries. These informal words and expressions are known as “slang”. It is not possible to make a complete list of modern British slang. By the time the list was finished, it would be out of date! New words come and go like fashions. However, here are a few examples:▷Safe, sorted, sound, cool or wicked all mean “That’s good” or “I understand”.▷Instead of using different tag questions like... isn’t it?, can’t you? or don’t they?, people use innit.▷Instead of saying very, really or completely, people use well.▷Whatever means I don’t care.▷“He’s fine” or “He’s fit” both mean “He’s good-looking”. “Fine” and “fit” can describe a boy or a girl.Not everybody uses slang and not everybody likes it. A school in Sheffield, in the north of England, recently stopped its pupils using slang words such as hiya (hello), cheers and ta (both mean thank you). The head teacher says that if young people learn to speak “correctly” this will help them get a place at university and a good job.When British people use language like this, it’s no surprise that some students say they can’t understand native speakers. But perhaps learners don’t need to worry about communicating with native speakers so much. Research shows that most of the English spoken in the world today is spoken between non-native speakers of the language. In fact, when we think about “International English”, there is no such thing as a native or non-native speaker.28．In the UK, you can find little slang in ________.A．pop songs B．TV programmes C．most dictionaries D．young people’s language29．The writer uses the example of a school in Sheffield to support that ________.A．slang is out of date B．slang is changing quicklyC．slang words can be used easily D．some people don’t like slang 30．Which slang can be used in the following dialogue?—But the teacher says we can’t leave until we’ve finished.—________. I’m going.A．Sound B．Fine C．Cheers D．Whatever 31．What can we know from the passage?A．Learning English slang will help young people get a good job.B．It is impossible to make a complete list of modern British slang.C．The young people in the UK speak English slang less than adults.D．English between non-native speakers in the world today contains a lot of English slang.Zibo City Becomes Famous for BarbecueZibo city in Shandong has unexpectedly become famous on Chinese social media since late February for its local barbecue specialty, and this trend (趋势) continues as the local government takes the chance to promote tourism and spending.The latest promotion allows visitors to visit the places of interest in the city for free with their train tickets as long as their final destination is Zibo. This move followed another on March 31 under which the Jinan bureau of China Railway added a weekend special round-trip “barbecue tour” train between Jinan.Passengers who get on the train are greeted by a banner reading “Welcome to the Special BBQ Train” at the entrance of the train. Many also took videos and posted them on social media, drawing more visitors.Barbecue is popular in China, and Zibo’s barbecue has its own local features: it’s made on a stove, and is served with flatbread and dressings. The food is 70-80 percent cooked before it is brought to the table, where diners can finish cooking it on their own stoves. Diners are served with flatbreads, scallions (大葱) and other dressings (调料) at the table so they areable to make their own barbecue parcels, in much the same way Peking Duck is eaten.The barbecue suddenly became famous after a group of college students shot videos of themselves enjoying a meal in Zibo and posted them on social media in late February. Since then, many people, mostly young, have come to the city from all over the country to try the dish.On several streets, lines can be seen outside barbecue restaurants, which stretch for more than 100 meters on the weekend.“Zibo barbecue is bringing more and more people to the city, and the local government needs to think about how to promote the city as a whole, its culture and tourism, as well as its living and business environment,” said Sun Xiaorong, an expert of tourism marketing and promotion. The trend will eventually end if the local government doesn’t take proper follow-up measures, he added.32．What does Paragraph 1 mainly talk about?A．Zibo city’s snacks.B．Zibo city’s places of interest.C．The reasons why Zibo is famous recently.D．The challenges Zibo meets with at present.33．What can we know about Zibo’s barbecue from Paragraph 4?A．It is very cheap and popular.B．It is as delicious as Peking Duck.C．It is totally toasted by the cook on the stove.D．It is usually paired with flatbread and dressings.34．What made Zibo’s barbecue suddenly well-known?A．Young people’s dreams.B．Local government’s actions.C．Barbecue restaurants in Zibo city.D．Some college students’ videos.35．What is Sun Xiaorong’s attitude towards the popularity of Zibo barbecue?A．Objective. (客观的)B．Hopeless.C．Curious.D．Doubtful.四、阅读还原6选5根据短文内容，从A—F选项中，选出5个适当的选项补全短文。

Contents Introduction (3)Chapter 1: History of Pancakes (7)Chapter 2: Be a Pancake Cook (26)Chapter 3: Pancake Races (48)How it all beganPancakes are one of the oldest foods. Pancakes were special in medieval Europe. That’s when the tradition of Pancake Day began.Around the 1600s, writer William Shakespeare mentioned pancakes in two of his plays. These cakes go back a long way!江苏省盐城市滨海县2019-2021年三年中考二模英语试卷分类汇编阅读理解2021年江苏省盐城市滨海县中考第二次调研检测（二模）英语试题三、阅读理解（共15小题，每小题2分，计30分）A31. We may read “How it all began ” on Page .A. 17B. 26C. 37D. 4832.

Plays of William ShakespeareD. Ideas on European historyBPiggy banks have been around for a long time, but did you ever wonderwhy people thought to make their banks in the shape of a pig?Pigs have nothing to do with the money. They don’t store food like acamel or a squirrel. So how did we end up using a pig as the style of a bank? Believe it or not, it happened by mistake.During the fifteenth century, metal (金属) was very expensive. Dishes and pots were made ofa type of inexpensive orange clay (陶土) called pygg, which was pronounced just like pig. At this time, t here weren’t banks like we have today, so people would store their money at home. When people had extra coins to save, they would place them in clay pots. Since the type of clay was called pygg, people named the pots pygg banks.After a few hundred years, people forgot that the word pygg meant the clay. The English language was also changing and the word pig was more commonly used. So in the nineteenth century, when English potters (制陶工人) were asked for pygg banks, they thought their customers were asking for banks in the shape of pigs, not banks made from pygg.Today piggy banks are made from all kinds of materials, and they also come in all kinds of shapes and animals. But the term piggy bank is still used to refer to these lovely containers (容器) for change.34. According to the passage, what is “pygg”?A. A type of metal.B. A kind of clay.C. A place to store money.D. A type of animal.35. Who probably first mistook pygg banks for banks in the shape of pigs?A. Farmers.B. Customers.C. Potters.D. Bankers.36. How are piggy banks today different from the ones made hundreds of years ago?A. The past containers looked much more lovely than the modern ones.B. Piggy banks today come in different shapes and are made of all kinds of materials.C. Today’s piggy banks are used to save money, but the old ones were used to save food.D. The pronunciation of piggy banks today is completely different from that of the old ones.CMichael Farmer is a meteorite (陨石) hunter. What about his unusual job?World Times (WT):What’s the hardest part of your job?Michael Farmer: I’m always looking for new pieces ofmeteorite rock, so I have to travel a lot. I’ve been to about 70countries or so. There are ot her problems too. It’s not allowed totake meteorite pieces from some countries. So you have to be verycareful and learn the law. It’s different everywhere.WT: Are there a lot of meteorite pieces on Earth?Michael Farmer: Yes, there are millions, but mos t land in the forest, jungle, or ocean. They’re almost impossible to locate (定位). One of the best places to find pieces is in the Sahara Desert (撒哈拉沙漠) in Africa. You can see them easily in the sand. The heat also preserves (保存) the rocks well.WT: What’s the most valuable meteorite you’ve found?Michael Farmer:The most valuable meteorite was in Canada. Three partners and I discovered a very rare type called a pallasite (石铁陨石). It weighed 53 kilograms, and it’s around 4.5 billion years old. We sold it to t he Canadian government for just under a million dollars. Now it’s in the Royal Ontario Museum in Toronto. It’s a national treasure.WT: Who else buys the rocks from you?Michael Farmer: Museums and private collectors are always calling me. New meteorites are greatly needed, and so they sell quickly. I also sell them to a lot of scientists. They don’t have the time or money to search for these rocks. Without the help of hunters, 99 percent of these meteorites would be lost to science.37. What does Farmer say is difficult about his job?A. Selling meteorites.B. Working with scientists.C. Studying laws in African countries.D. Travelling to find meteorites.38. Why is the Sahara Desert a good place to find meteorites?A. Most meteorites land in the desert.B. The meteorites there are bigger than other places.C.

Marilla wanted to give Mr. and Mrs. Allan the best tea of any family in the village.Wednesday morning came. Anne got up very early because she was too excited to sleep. After breakfast, she made her cake. The cake came out of the oven (烤箱) looking perfect.The young couple arrived, and they all enjoyed a lovely tea. Everything went well until Anne’s cake was passed around.“Oh, you must take a piece of this, Mrs. Allan,” said Marilla. “Anne made it just for you.”“In that case I must try it,” laughed Mrs. Allan. She took amouthful and a strange look came onto her face.Marilla tried hers and said, “Anne! What is in this cake?”“Oh, isn’t it all right?” cried Anne.“It’s terrible. What flavoring (调味品) did you use?”“Vanilla (香草),” said Anne.“Go and bring me the bottle of vanilla you used.”Anne returned with a small bottle labeled “Vanilla”.

Mrs. Allan will think I tried to poison (毒害) her.”“My dear little girl, don’t cry,” said a happy voice.Anne jumped up to find Mrs. Allan standing by her bed.“It’s just a funny mistake that anybody might make.”“But I wanted to make a nice cake for you.”“Thank you, dear. But now, will you show me your flower garden? I love flowers.”Anne showed Mrs. Allan her flower garden and soon felt much better.

But how can you keep away from a fight? Here’s something you can do.Be calm. Sometimes, you feel so angry that you really want to teach somebody a lesson. But being angry can’t solve problems. Neither can a fight. Instead, it may bring you more problems. In the school, everyone involved (卷入) in a fight will be punished, no matter who started it. Thereare no winners in a fight.Shout loudly. If you know someone is coming up behind you to attack, turn toward the person with your hands up in front of your body and loudly say “stop” before walking away. Loud voice can usually make the attacker calm down. If the person doe sn’t stop, cry for help by calling out the name of a teacher whose office is nearby.▲Your friend may ask you to join in a fight. Learn to say no. Helping him fight is not really helpful to him. If you really want to give him a hand, try to ask him to give it up. Also, you can tell him if he gets involved in a fight, he may get hurt and be punished. Then, try to learn why he wants a fight and help him find a right way to deal with the problem.31. Which of the following sentences can be put in the ▲?A. Face bravely.B. Join in a fight.C. Learn to refuse.D. Talk to someone.32. The passage is written to .A. help students keep away from fightsB. warn students not to fightC. advise students to help each otherD. encourage students to work hard33. The passage is written in a/an tone (语气).A. sadB. angryC. crazyD. seriousBMost scientists say animals never feel happy or sad. In fact, they say animals probably don't feel love, anger, hate or other emotions, either.Scientist Joseph LeDoux studied mice to find out whether animals have emotions. He found that mice feel at least one emotion—fear. He also found the part of the brain that seems to control fear in mice. In humans, that part of the brain controls fear and some other emotions.A number of scientists say animals have emotions. Some scientists who have studied such animals as dogs, cats, elephants and lions say those animals feel emotions.Scientist Joyce Poole studies elephants. She has written that pachyderms often show sadness when a relative dies. She says elephants have “deep emotions”.Jane Goodall studies chimpanzees (黑猩猩). She says she has seen them playing and running after one another for fun. Goodall also says they feel sad sometimes. For example, an old chimpanzee died, and one of her sons, Flint, refused to eat food. Flint’s brothers and sisters triedto get him to eat, but they failed. Three weeks later, Flint died. Goodall says Flint “died of sadness”.More recently, scientist Marc Bekoff watched an elk (糜鹿) run back and forth through the snow. Bekoff said it was feeling the “joy of life”. He said he couldn’t prove that animals have feelings, because animals can’t talk. But he said animals can communicate feelings in other ways. “I can't prov e that an animal is feeling happy or sad, but I can guess how he or she is feeling through body language and facial expressions,” he said.34. The underlined word “pachyderms” may refer to .A. elephantsB. lionsC. chimpanzeesD. cats35. Marc Bekoff believes animals have feelings because .A. he saw a mouse full of fearB. he saw an elk run back and forth with joyC. he saw a chimpanzee die of sadnessD. he saw an elephant feel sad for a dead relative36. What's this passage mainly about?A. Joyce Poole’s studies of how elephants feel.B. Scientists who are arguing over some animals.C. Jane Goodall’s work with chimpanzees.D. Scientists’ ideas about whether or not animals have feelings.CThere are many ways to help improve your health like eating healthy food, taking exercise and getting medical help. But the easiest and cheapest way to improve your health is just to sleep eight hours or more every night. The general sleeping rule is that the younger you are, the longer sleep you need. But regardless of (不管) age, some people need to sleep more while for some a few hours is enough.The problem with sleep is that more and more people in the world are not sleeping enough.According to the World Health Organization over half the people in the world may be sleep-deprived. Having less sleep not only makes people feel tired but also causes accidents. In the United States alone, sleepy drivers cause at least 100,000 traffic accidents a year. Also sleep problems can cause medical problems such as high blood pressure.Why are so many people sleep﹣deprived? Part of the reasons may be cultural. In the American culture, people put a higher value on work than on sleep. In fact, people who sleep a lotare usually seen as “lazy”. Also, you can sometimes hear some people say proudly that they don't have much time to sleep. They only sleep four or five hours a night. It seems that the less you sleep, the more work you'll do.How do we teach these people to learn the value of sleep? Perhaps they may listen to the advice of Dr. James Maas, an expert (专家) in sleep. He says, “Sleep is like a credit (信用卡) card. When you sleep less, you are only borrowing time. You always have to pay it back. The more hours you don’t sleep, the more hours you should sleep to “pay back” the hours on your ‘sleep credit card’.”For those who value work more than sleep, they should listen to what a famous person once said. “Don't think you will be doing less work because you sleep during the night. T hat is a foolish idea which is held by people who have no imagination. You will be able to do more.”37. What does “sleep - deprived” mean in Paragraph 3?A. Having a good sleep.B. Excited about sleep.C. Having less sleep.D. Interested in sleep.38. Why does Dr. James Maas say “sleep is like a credit card”?A. Because we should pay money back.B. Because we can borrow time.C. Because we must pay back if we sleep less.D. Because we can borrow money.39.What do the words of the famous person mean in the last paragraph?A. Sleeping during the night is foolish.B. Sleeping during the night is helpful.C. People have no courage.D. People always do less work.40. What is the best title of the passage?A. The Value of SleepB. The Value of StudyC. The Ways of Eating LessD. The Ways of Making MoneyDHuck is my name, Huckleberry Finn. The story started when my best friend, Tom Sawyer and I found $12,000 in a cave. That money made us rich. We got $6,000 each. Judge Thatcher, an important man in St. Petersburg, put it in the bank, and now we get a dollar a day interest (利息).Then a kind old lady called Widow Douglas invited me to live with her because I haven’t got a family or a home. My mother died a long time ago,then my dad, Pap, disappeared. He was a violent (狂暴的) man especiallywhen he drank a lot, which was most of the time, and he often beat me. I wasscared of him. I didn’t go to school like the other boys of my age. I lived on the streets and in the woods.My life changed after I lived with the widow (寡妇). She gave me a bed to sleep in and bought new clothes for me. She read stories to me and taught me how to eat at a table. But then her sister Miss Watson arrived. She brought her black slave (奴隶) Jim with her. I liked Jim but I didn't like Miss Watson very much. She often shouted at me.Widow Douglas sent me to school every day. I didn't like going there at first because learning was very difficult. But when I could read and write a bit, I didn't mind going.The months passed and winter came. The weather got cold. One morning I woke up and there was snow on the ground. On my way to school I saw some footprints outside the widow’s house. There was a cross on the heel (脚后跟)of the left one. My heart jumped. Only one person wore boots with a cross on the left heel! Pap!“He’s heard about my money,” I thought. “And he wants it!”That night I went to see Jim. Jim had a magic ball made of animal hair. There was a spirit inside the ball that could answer people’s ques tions about the future.41. How did Huck get the money which was given to Judge Thatcher to put in the bank?A. Huck’s father gives him.B. Huck’s mother leaves the money to him before she dies.C. Window Douglas gives him.D. Huck and Tom Sawyer find the money in a cave.42.How did Huck feel about living with Widow Douglas?A. He hated his new life.B. He didn’t mind his new life.C. He loved his new life.D.

Miss Watson was rather patient with HuckD. Huck’s dad was very generous to him44. Which is the right order of what happened in the story?①Widow Douglas sent Huck to school. ②Huck’s mother died.③Widow Douglas invited Huck to live with her. ④Widow Douglas read stories to Huck.A.③②④①B. ②③④①C. ③④②①D. ②④③①45. What can we learn about Huckleberry Finn according to the passage?A. Huck had a happy life with his parents.B. Huck knew Pap wanted to get his money.C.

Thatcher offered a bed to Huck to sleep in.答案：31-33 CAD 34-36 ABD 37-40 CCBA 41-45 DCABB江苏省盐城市滨海县2019年中考总复习第二次学情研判英语试题三、阅读理解A.阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
