2 A Brother Like ThatA friend of mine named Paul received an automobile from his brother as a Christmas present. On Christmas Eve when Paul came out of his office, a street urchin was walking around the shiny new car, admiring it.“Is this your car, Mister?” he said.Paul nodded. “My brother gave it to me for Christmas.” The boy was [1]astounded. “Y ou mean your brother gave it to you and it didn’t cost you anything? Boy, I wish . . .” He hesitated.Of course Paul knew what he was going to wish for. He was going to wish he had a brother like that. But what the lad said jarred Paul all the way down to his heels.“I wish,” the boy went on, “That I could be a brother like that.”Paul looked at the boy [2]in astonishment, then impulsively he added,“Would you like to take a ride in my car?”“Oh yes, I’d love that.”After a short ride, the boy turned with his eyes aglow, said, “Mister, would you mind driving in front of my house?”Paul smiled a little. He thought he knew what the lad wanted. He wanted to show his neighbors that he could ride home in a big automobile. But Paul was wrong again. “Will you stop where those two steps are?” the boy asked.He ran up the steps. Then in a little wh ile Paul heard him coming back, but he was not coming fast. He was carrying his little [3] crippled brother. He sat him down on the bottom step, then sort of [4] squeezed up against him and pointed to the car.“There she is, [5]buddy, just like I told you upstairs. His brother gave it to him for Christmas andit didn’t cost him a cent. And some day I’m gonna give you one just like it . . . then you can see for yourself all the pretty things in the Christmas windows that I’ve been trying to tell you abou t.”Paul got out and lifted the lad to the front seat of his car. The shining-eyed older brother climbed in beside him and the three of them began a memorable holiday ride.That Christmas Eve, Paul learned what Jesus meant when he said: [6]“It is more blessed to give . . .”automobile / ♦☜❍☜♌♓●/ n.

Mom and I were putting the finishing touches on dinner, and my little niece Jessica came in to set the table. Instead of going to the dish cabinet, she went into the pantry where there was a stack of old, mismatched dinner plates on the bottom shelf.When she had set all six places, she stood back and sighed, "Oh, Grandma, your plates are so beautiful. Ours are all alike!" We had a good laugh at her innocent remark, but as I think back to all those years ago, I believe she was right. Those plates were beautiful.Mom worked for the local council on aging as a housekeeper. She did many of the litlle things that allowed elderly people to stay in their own homes. Most of her clients got Meals on Wheels, a service in the 1970s. They received a hot lunch and a cold snack to have later in the evening. This is really not very much food. Every evening Mom would make to-go meals on these mismatched plates covered with aluminum foil, and then deliver then to the people who she knew didn't get enough to eat.This was about ten years before microwave ovens became common so it was important that the food be on a plate that could be reheated in a regular oven. Instead of a cold sandwich and macaroni salad, Mom's clients dined on Beef Manhattans, pan-fried chicken or meatloaf, along with veggies and a piece of pie or cake. Mom and Dad did this even after Mom left her job, and Mom continued after Dad's death until all her former clients had either passed away or moved out.When I was cleaning out Mom's house after her death, I kept one as a souvenir(纪念品). That plate is a sweet reminder of the lessons of generosity and caring for one's neighbor that were modeled for me by my parents.1. Why did the author think those plates beautiful?A. They were not all alike.B. They were little Jessica’s pride.C. They were collected from different places.D. They were symbols of the parents' kindness.2. What did the author's mother do to earn a living in the 1970s?A. Be a housewife.B. Run Meals on Wheels.C. Deliver food to houses.D. Do housework for the old.3.

I stood in a noisy group of sixth grade students, waiting for the answer to our burning question: What type of crazy tie would Mr. Miller be wearing today?Our teacher walked around the corner with a GREEN ELEPHANT TIE that matched his large elephant coffee cup! Oh, the satisfaction in our young hearts——a green elephant tie!With his glasses at the tip of his nose, he greeted us cheerfully, "Good morning, folks!" He was strange and unique and he brightened every day for us. He was the most dynamic teacher I had ever met.I loved music, so I remember how excited I was when he said he was going to give us music lessons. But when he turned on the music, my classmates and I slowly turned our heads toward the sound of...Peter Paul and Mary singing "If I Had a Hammer".Snickers(窃笑) filled the room. If it wasn't rap or hip hop, we didn't recognize it. What were these people singing about? My classmates were not into this at all. But for me, a girl of 12, it was a discovery. An awakening.Twenty years passed and now there are forty little eyes staring at my wild musical-note shirts as I greet them with a joyful, "Good morning, class!" I wonder if my students wait and wonder what crazy music clothes I will wear each day.I glance at my 2015 Teacher of the Year Award, which I received for being a dynamic teacher. And I smile to myself, wondering which child in front of me will carry this on—as I've carried on the legacy(遗产) of Mr. Miller.One teacher, who dared to be different and open new worlds to kids like me, threw the significant stone into the pond of my life.

A（2021·江西南昌市·南昌二中高二期末）Most of us marry creativity to our concept of self either we're "creative" or we aren't, without much of a middle ground. "I'm just not a creative person!" a frustrated student might say in art class, while another might blame her talent at painting for her difficulties in math, giving a comment such as, "I'm very right-brained."Dr. Pillay, a tech entrepreneur and an assistant professor at Harvard University, has been challenging these ideas. He believes that the key to unlocking your creative potential is to ignore the traditional advice that urges you to "believe in yourself." In fact, you should do the opposite: Believe you are someone else.Dr. Pillay points to a 2016 study demonstrating the impact of stereotypes on one's behavior; The authors. educational psychologists Denis Dumas and Kevin Dunbar, divided their college student subjects into three groups, instructing the members of one to think of themselves as "romantic poets" and the members of another to imagine they were "serious librarians" (the third group was the control). The researchers then presented all the participants with ten ordinary objects, including a fork, a carrot, and a pair of pants, and asked them to come up with as many different uses as possible for each one. Those who were asked to imagine themselves as romantic poets came up with the widest range of ideas, whereas those in the serious-librarian group had the fewest. Meanwhile, the researchers found only small differences in students' creativity levels across academic majors.These results suggest that creativity is not a fixed individual characteristic but a "malleable product of context and perspective, as long as he or she feels like a creative person. Dr. Pillay argues that, besides identifying yourself as creative, taking the bold, creative step of imagining you are somebody else is even more powerful. So, wish you were more creative? Just pretend!1．According to the passage，who is more likely to unlock his creative potential?A．An art major who always believes in himself.B．A math major who has excellent academic performanceC．A physics major who likes to imagine himself as a poet.D．A history major who works as a librarian on weekends.2．What does the Study conducted by Denis Dumas and Kevin Dunbar focus on?A．The creativity of the college students.B．The stereotypes of the college students.C．The impact of stereotypes on one's behaviorD．The influence of creativity on one's behavior.3．The underlined word in the last paragraph probably means__________?A．stable B．sustainable C．predicable D．changeable 4．Dr Pillay may agree with the statement that__________.A．there is no doubt that we are either creative or notB．a student who doesn't do well in art class is not creativeC．right brain determines whether a person is creative or notD．if we pretend to be creative，then we might be really creativeB（2021·湖南师大附中高三月考）Some people get more unwilling to take risks as the years go by. Not Gail MacCallum, who at age 40 quit a secure job and left the city she had enjoyed her whole adult life to step into the unknown.MacCallum spent her formative years in a farmhouse without electricity and enjoyed the freedom of the natural world. During her adult life, she moved through several jobs before finding her calling in book publishing and then magazines. One day she and her partner Ian Connellan were on a holiday on Hobart, enjoying the chance to get close to wildlife, when they ran into some friends- of-friends, who asked them to dinner. The next day, recalls MacCallum, “They said, ‘We think you should buy our house.’” With no intention of uprooting their lives she and Connellan thought this was “entirely ridiculous", yet they got really excited talking about the possibilities such a move might present. “At last,” we said, “Let's give it a go.”They resigned from their jobs and moved to Hobart. Both of them are brave travelers who had spent time with scientists working in various remote spots around the world. Theywondered if they could make a living by helping others to experience those unique places for themselves. Then came the new company Curious Traveler. “It works brilliantl y. Scientists get helpers and funding. Guests get to see what scientists do and how the world is changing because of it. They leave, excited and inspired,” MacCallum says.In two-and-a-half years, the pair still have to replenish their incomes with some writing and editing, but the business is growing and within five years they hope to be helping fund half a dozen research projects. It is a big task. “Some days we think it would be great to turn it off,” MacCallum says, “but when we see the wonder on the fa ce of a person who is experiencing somewhere like the Galapagos for the first time, we know we are living a wonderful life.”5．What caused MacCallum and Connellan to give up their jobs?A．A casual offer from some friends-of-friends.

But a New Jersey-based company, called Terracycle, has taken on the challenge, and has come up with a way to recycle millions of cigarette ends and turn them into industrial plastic products. Its aim is to recycle things that people normally consider impossible to reuse.Obviously it would be even better for the environment if everyone just stopped smoking but the statistics show that although there has been an increase in anti-smoking ads and posters, between 2000 and 2014.global sales of cigarettes increased by 8 percent, and a wholelot of those cigarette ends ended up as trash: Since most of our litter eventually ends up in waterways, cigarette ends can surely pollute the surrounding environment. “It only takes a single cigarette end to pollute a liter of water,” Temacycle’s founder, Tom Swak, said. “Animals can also mistake cigarette ends littered for food.”So how do you go about turning all those poisonous ends into something useful? Terracycle does this by first breaking them down into separate parts. They mix the remaining materials, such as the tobacco and the paper, with other kinds of rubbish, and use it onnon-agricultural land, such as golf courses. The filters (过滤嘴) are a little harder. To recycle these. Terracycle first makes them clean and cuts them into small pieces, and then combines them with other recycled materials, making them into liquid for industrial plastic products.They’re now also expanding their recycling offerings to the rest of the 80 percent of household waste that currently can’t be recycled, such as chocolate pack aging, pens, and mobile phones. The goal is to use the latest research to find a way to stop so much waste ending up in landfills, and then get companies to provide money for the process. And now, it works well.“We haven't found anything that we can’t recycle,” communications director of Terracycle, Albe Zakes, said. “But with the amount and varieties of packaging and litter in the world, we are always looking for new waste streams to address.”9．What does Terracycle intend to do?A．Search for recyclable materials for use.B．Deal with as many cigarette ends as possible.C．Produce new kinds of industrial plastic products.D．Recycle what used to be considered unrecyclable.10．What does the underlined word “trash” in Paragraph 2 probably mean?A．Rubbish. B．Poison. C．Disaster. D．Ruin. 11．What does Paragraph 3 mainly talk about?A．The effective use of cigarette ends.B．The process of recycling cigarette ends.C．The difficulty in recycling cigarette ends.D．The reason for breaking down cigarette ends.12．What do A lbe’s words in the last paragraph imply?A．There is more and more waste to be recycled.B．It is difficult for Terracycle to recycle everything.C．Terracycle is trying to meet the challenge of new waste.D．Terracycle has successfully recycled a large amount of waste.D（2021·广东实验中学高三月考）Optional Tours in LangkawiLine One(Mangrove tours and eagle feeding)Catch exciting movement and magnificent views of how eagles try to get their food skillfully at kilim river mangrove jungle safari visit limestone bats cave and have lunch on floating restaurant.Price: adult rate RM 160.00/ person child rate (age 3—12yrs) RM 120.00/ person infant (below 3yrs) freeTime: 9:00 am—14:00 pmLine Two(Snorkeling and baby shark feeding)Pulau Payar marine park with spectacular corals and colorful tropical marine life is one of the most beautiful and exotic marine parks in Malaysia.Price: adult rate RM 220.00/ person child rate (age 3—12yrs) RM 150.00/ person infant (below 3yrs) freeTime 8:00 am—17:00 pmLine Three(Day cruise around Langkawi archipelago)Experience swimming among fishes and view spectacular corals and exotic marine life.Price: adult rate RM 450.00/ person child rate (age 3—12yrs) RM 350.00/ person infant (below 3yrs) freeTime 9:00 am—17:00 pmLine Four(Amazing sunset cocktail and dinner cruise)Experience the amazing sunset scenery around the Andaman sea while having cocktail and dinner.Price: adult rate RM 350.00/ person child rate (age 3—12yrs) RM 250.00/ person infant (below 3yrs) freeTime 16:00 pm—21 :00 pm13．What is special about Line One?A．It provides food.

Tickets, Please （中英结合带分析）by D. H. LAWRENCEThere is in the Midlands a single-line tramway system which boldly leaves the county town and plunges off into the black, industrial countryside, up hill and down dale, through the long ugly villages of workmen's houses, over canals and railways, past churches perched high and nobly over the smoke and shadows, through stark, grimy cold little market-places, tilting away in a rush past cinemas and shops down to the hollow where the collieries are, then up again, past a little rural church, under the ash trees, on in a rush to the terminus, the last little ugly place of industry, the cold little town that shivers on the edge of the wild, gloomy country beyond. There the green and creamy coloured tram-car seems to pause and purr with curious satisfaction. But in a few minutes—the clock on the turret of the Co-operative Wholesale Society's Shops gives the time—away it starts once more on the adventure. Again there are the reckless swoops downhill, bouncing the loops: again the chilly wait in the hill-top market-place: again the breathless slithering round the precipitous drop under the church: again the patient halts at the loops, waiting for the outcoming car: so on and on, for two long hours, till at last the city looms beyond the fatgas-works, the narrow factories draw near, we are in the sordid streets of the great town, once more we sidle to a standstil l at our terminus, abashed by the great crimson and cream-coloured city cars, but still perky, jaunty, somewhat dare-devil, green as a jaunty sprig of parsley out of a black colliery garden.在英国中部有一路单轨车。

2024年中考英语新热点时文阅读-音乐与舞蹈01（2024·四川成都·一模）Is there a connection between music and language? According to recent studies, the answer is yes. Here, let’s look at the following two.Music and HearingA recent study by researcher Nina Kraus shows that playing a musical instrument can make a person’s hearing ability become better. In the study, two groups of people listened to a person talking in a noisy room. The people in the first group were musicians, while those in the second group weren’t. The musicians were able to hear the talking person more clearly.Think about violinists in a show. When they play with the group, they hear their own instrument and many others, too. But the violinists must listen closely to what they are playing, and leave out the other sounds. In this way, musicians are able to focus on certain sounds, even in a room with lots of noise.Music and SpeakingGottfried Schlaug, a doctor at Harvard Medical School, works with stroke (中风) patients. Because of their illness, these people cannot say their names, addresses, or other information normally. However, they can still sing. Dr. Schlaug was surprised to find that singing words helped his patients to finally speak. Why does this work? Schlaug isn’t sure. Music seems to help patients to use the brain again.From the results, we can know that music is a good influence on concentration, the ability to focus on one thing. It works on listening and speaking skills as well. Playing an instrument or singing can help us do better in school as well. So music is not only enjoyable, it’s also good for us in many other ways.1．Which two groups of people took part in Nina Kraus’ study?A．Noisy people and quiet people.B．Musicians and non-musicians.C．Violinists and other musicians.2．Why are the violinists mentioned (提及) in paragraph 3?A．To describe what they did in a show.B．To show how important they are in the study.C．To better explain why musicians hear more clearly.3．How does Gottfried Schlaug help stroke patients speak?A．By playing music for them.B．By asking them to sing words.C．By getting them to play an instrument.4．What’s the passage mainly about?A．Music makes people listen carefully and hear well.B．Music can be well used in medical research.C．Music helps with people’s language abilities.5．In which magazine might we read this passage?A．B．C．02（2024·陕西西安·一模）The Zeng Houyi Chime Bells (编钟) were uncovered from the Zeng Houyi Tomb in Suizhou, Hubei Province in 1978. They are historically important treasure of China.The Zeng Houyi Chime Bells are hung at three levels and are set in eight groups. There are 19 bells in three groups at the top level, 33 bells in three groups at the middle level and 12 bells in two groups at the bottom level. Besides, there is a much larger bell used to adjust pitch (调节音高). The bells in each row are different from one another in shape and size.The Zeng Houyi Chime Bells are hung on two sets of wood racks (架子), One rack is 7.48meters long and 2.65 meters wide. The other rack is 3.35 meters long and 2.73 meters wide. The two racks are perpendicular to each other, which forms an angle of ninety degrees.The Zeng Houyi Chime Bells weigh a total of 5 tons. The biggest bell is of 153.4 cm in height and 203.6 kg in weight while the smallest bell is of 20.4 cm in height and 2.4 kg in weight.Five musicians were needed to play the instrument in the past. These bells have no clappers (铃舌) and are sounded by striking. Because of their shape, each bell could produce two different tones (音色)—one if struck at theside, the other at the center.

Two young women have turned fun memes into dance moves. They’ve gained about 800,000 fans with their funny performances.Asuan, 26, and Lidawang, 29, are two graduate students of Beijing Dance Academy. They wanted to create something different from the beautiful stage performances that they learned in school.“We gradually found our own styles—funny memes, cartoons, or games, we take these periods of young people’s pop culture and recreate them,” said Lidawang.However, being funny doesn’t mean they don’t put their heart into the dance moves. Memes are popular becauseof their expressiveness (表情丰富), and recreating that expressiveness with dance can be very challenging. It usually takes them one to six months to create a two-minute dance video. To improve their moves they would record their rehearsals (排练) and then look at their moves over and over again.Asuan even made a teaching video for one of their most popular dances—“the Yellow Alien”, based on the meme from the Spanish song Dame Tu Cosita. She worked out how to act like aliens—the relaxed shoulder, the deep squat (深蹲) move and the surprised but childish eyes. As many fans send them “homework” videos, their meme dances are becoming new memes themselves too.“The nature of dance is to express and communicate. What we communicate and pass on to others is happiness and entertainment (娱乐),” said Lidawang.“We’re happy to call ourselves ‘comedians in the world of dance’,” added Asuan.10．What do we know about Asuan and Lidawang’s dance style?A．It is popular among the students at Beijing Dance Academy.B．It is based on what they learned at school.C．It comes from the pop culture of young people.11．Why are their dances challenging?A．Because it is hard to find enough popular memes.B．Because it is difficult to recreate the expressiveness with dance.C．Because each move needs one to six months to check and discuss.12．“The Yellow Alien” in the passage is ________.A．a Spanish song B．a popular dance C．a teaching video13．Which of the following statement is TRUE according to the passage?A．The two girls express the nature of dance in a special way.B．The two girls become very popular without making much effort.C．The two girls just take the memes from Chinese culture.14．What is the passage mainly about?A．Memes based on funny dances.B．Popular dances among young people.C．Two dancers and their special dances.04（23-24九年级上·山东聊城·期末）68-year-old Xu Lili stands out in a group of young people.
