2023年山东省威海市中考模拟英语试题学校:___________姓名：___________班级：___________考号：___________一、阅读单选Tim Richter and his wife, Linda, had taught for over 30 years near Buffalo, New York. “Teaching means everything to us,” Tim would say. In April 1998, be learned be would need a heart operation It was the kind of news that leads to some serious thinking about life's purpose.Not long after the operation, Tim saw a brochure describing Imagination Library, a program started by Dolly Parton's foundation(基金会) that mailed a book every month to children from birth to age five in the singer's home town of Sevier, Tennessee. “I thought, maybe Linda and I could do something like this when we retire,” Tim recalls. He placed the brochure on his desk, “as a reminder.”Five years later, now retired and with that brochure still on the desk, Tim clicked on imagination . The program had been opened up to partners who could take advantage of book and postage discounts.The quality of the books was of great concern to the Richters. Rather than sign up online, they went to Dollywood for a look-see. “We didn't want to give the children rubbish,” says Linda The books—reviewed each year by teachers, literacy specialists and Dollywood board members—included classics(杰作) such as Ezra Jack Keats's The Snowy Day and newer books like Anna Dewdney's Llama Llama series.Satisfied, the couple set up the Richter Family Foundation and got to work. Since 2004, they have shipped more than 12,200 books to preschoolers in their area. Megan Williams, a mother of four, is more than appreciative: “This program introduces us to books I've never heard of.”The Richters spend about $ 400 a month sending books to 200 children. “Some people sit there and wait to die,” says Tim. “Others get as busy as they can in the time they have left.”1．led Tim think seriously about the meaning of life.A．Tim's health problem B．Tim's love for teaching C．The news from the Web 2．Tim wanted to after learning about Imagination Library.A．retire from being a teacherB．do something similarC．write books for children3．According to the text, Dollly Parton is .A．a well-known doctorB．a mother of a four-year oldC．a singer born in Tennessee4．The Richters went to Dollywood .A．to avoid signing up onlineB．to make sure the books were the newestC．to see if the books were of good quality5．What can we learn from Tim's words in the last paragraph?A．He considers his efforts worthwhile.B．He wonders why some people are so busy.C．He tries to save those waiting to die.There are several ways from which to choose for you to keep your kids safe in your neighborhood. But the first step is to know your neighbors.Knowing your neighbors can save you a lot of worry. It lets you know that the car that has just driven down the street belongs to “the yellow house on the corner”, or the truck that has just driven by the playground looks unfamiliar, but the guy in the passenger seat resides （居住）two doors down. It’s these simple things that keep you from going out of your mind whenever you see someone driving by where children are playing.But you shouldn’t just know what they look like. The next step is to know them well. What do they do? How do they act? You might be OK with them driving by the playground since they live in the neighborhood, but are you OK with them being on the playground? Knowing your neighbors solves several things. First you find out what kind of people they are. This helps you know if you should let your child go out in an area where they gather. Let us face it: you do not want your child to play around people or people’s children that curse （咒骂）or hit each other. Sometimes you have to protect you child against your own neighbors.Knowing them also makes them know you. Being neighbors is an interesting thing. You might not like them or have the same views as them, but we all usually protect those that we consider our own. If you know your neighbors, they know you. They are more likely to look after the child of the nice lady down the street in the brick （砖）house, than the people, inthe house on the corner, who no one ever sees.6．This passage is mainly to tell us .A．how to keep your child safe in the neighborhoodB．how to set a good example to your neighborsC．how to get along with your neighbors7．If someone resides two doors down, he .A．studies at the same school with your kidB．often comes to the neighborhood to offer helpC．lives in the same neighborhood as you8．The underlined phrase “going out of your mind” in Paragraph 2 probablymeans .A．becoming very excitedB．becoming very worriedC．becoming very embarrassed9．From the third paragraph we can know that .A．it is important for you to be polite to your neighborsB．people in the same neighborhood are quite differentC．knowing your neighbors helps to keep your kids safe10．In the last paragraph, the writer wants to tell us that .A．the neighbors are likely to help the nice ladyB．the neighbors would like to help people they knowC．we should like and have the same views as the neighbor二、阅读还原7选5Be the Friend Everyone WantsSome people seem to have a special talent for making friends. So what’s the secret, anyway?____11____ Have you ever been in a conversation with someone and thought, “Wow, that person is interested in what I have to say!” Chances are that he was asking questions and truly listening to your answers. How can you do the same? If you know someone’s interest, start from there. If not, ask about his opinion on something.____12____ During a recent school lunch, Katie told her tablemates how disappointed she’d been that her swim team hadn’t placed in the meet they’d competed. “Sometimes,” sheadded, “I feel like quitting.” The next day, one of her tablemates asked if she felt any better about the meet, Katie immediately felt happier. “It actually cheered me up,” Katie says, “because she remembered how important the meet was to me.”____13____ Remember people’s names and use them often.

Not only will you make others feel special, but you’ll open the door to making new friends, too.____15____ Your body sends messages as surely as your mouth does.
