A. come into B. burst into C. break into D. get intoSection BDirections: Read the following three passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.（A）Beat the Burglar Don‘t invite crime—take basic, sensible precautions. Your house and property are valuable and must be properly protected. When you buy a lock, you buy time—and this is the one thing a burglar can‘t afford. Most thieves are casual opportunists to whom the best deterrents are delay and noise which could mean discovery.When you leave it –lock it!First of all, fit security locks to all doors and windows and a safety chain on the front door. Secondly, use them! And use them every time you go out, even if it‘s only for a short time. If you have any ladders or tools, don‘t leave them lying about in the garden, lock them away or at least immobilise them.Don‘t rely on ―safe‖ or ―secret‖ places for keys and valuables –nine times out of ten, they are the first place a thief will look.When you move house .…..When you move into a new house, even if it is fitted with security locks, change them. You don‘t know who may have duplicate keys. When you are new to a district, you are particularly vulnerable. Never let anyone that you don‘t know into your house. An official-looking cap is not enough, ask for proof of identity and look at it carefully—if you are still not satisfied, don‘t let the person in.Valuables need special protectionReally valuable items such as jewellery, should be given special protection –preferably by leaving them with your bank. But a small security safe, properly installed, should protect you against all but the most determined burglar. It is also most important to maintain an up-to-date list of valuables and their descriptions. In the case of fine art, paintings, ceramics or jewellery, color photographs can sometimes be of assistance to the police should you be unfortunate enough to have them stolen. Enter the details on the back of the pictures. But don‘t keep such documents in your house, keep them at the bank or with your insurance company.Going on holiday?Don‘t advertise the fact that your home is empty. Do remember to cancel the milk and newspapers and also to draw curtains back. Don‘t leave notes for tradesmen and try not to talk about your holidays and future plans loudly in public.Operate a‖Good Neighbour‖scheme to ensure that mail is taken in, the house checked regularly and that lights are put on. If you plan to be away for a long time, make sure that your lawn is cut.Call at your local police station and tell them you are going away. Make sure that they know who has your spare key and how you can be contacted in case of trouble.Especially at holiday time, don‘t leave cash or valuables in the house –take them with you or lodge them with the bank.65. According to the document which is issued by the Metropolitan Police, London, which of thefollowing does not belong to valuables?A. jewelleryB. fine artC. newspapersD. paintings66. The word duplicate in When you move house ….is closest in meaning to______.A. originalB. copyC. copperD. delicate67. Which of the following statements is INCORRECT?A. Call at your local police station and tell them you are going away.B. Do remember to cancel the milk and newspapers when you are going on holiday.C. When you move into a new house, you must change security locks.D. Do leave any ladders or tools lying about in your garden.68. The document tells the residents how to _______.A.deal with their personal properties properlyB.invite anyone that you don‘t know into your houseC.advertise the fact that your house is emptyD.keep valuable items at home（B）The inhabitants of the earth are divided not only by race, nation, religion or ideology, but also, in a sense, by their position in time. Examining the present population of the globe, we find a tiny group who still live, hunting and food-foraging, as men did millions of years ago. Others, the vast majority of mankind, depend not on bear-hunting or berry-picking, but on agriculture. They live, in many aspects, as their ancestors did centuries ago. These two groups taken together compose perhaps 70 percent of all living human beings. They are the people of the past.By contrast, somewhat more than 25 percent of the earth‘s population can be found in the industrialized societies. They lead modern lives. They are products of the first half of the twentieth century, moulded by mechanization and mass education, brought up with lingering memories of their own country‘s agricultural past. They are, in fact, the people of the present.The remaining 2 or 3 percent of the world‘s population, however, are no longer people of either the past or the present. For within the main centers of technological and cultural change, in Santa Monica, California and Cambridge, Massachusetts, in New York and London, and Tokyo, are millions of men and women who can already be said to be living in the way of life of the future. Trend-makers often without being aware of it, they live today as millions will live tomorrow. And while they account for only a few percent of the global population today, they already form an international nation of the future in our midst. They are the advance agents of men, the earliest citizens of the world-wide super-industrial society now in the throes of(正在做) birth.What makes them different from the rest of mankind? Certainly, they are richer, better educated, more mobile than the majority of the human race. They also live longer. But what specifically marks the people of the future is the fact that they are already caught up in a new, stepped-up pace of life. They ―live faster‖ than the people around them.69. The main argument in this passage is that ______.A a small percent of the world‘s population is already ―living in the future‖B.the majority should see what the future will be likeC.the new ―pace of life‖ is actually nothing newD.however we live, we must all face an increased pace of life70. The ― people of the present‖ here refers to those who ______.A.rely on their county‘s agricultural pastB.spend their time examining different racesC.have been shaped by industrialization and mass educationD.are constantly trying to change life as they see it71. From what the author says, ―trend-makers‖ are people who ______.A.live in large cities all over the worldB.dream about the futureC.set the pattern of life for the futureD.make changes in culture and technology（C）For several days I (Jane Eyre) saw little of Mr. Rochester. In the morning he seemed much occupied with business, and in the afternoon gentlemen from the neighourhood called and sometimes stayed to dine with him. When his foot was well enough, he rode out a great deal.During this time, all my knowledge of him was limited to occasional meetings about the house, when he would sometimes pass me coldly, and sometimes bow and smile. His changes of manner did not offend me, because I saw that I had nothing to do with the cause of them.One evening, several days later, I was invited to talk to Mr. Rochester after dinner. He was sitting in his armchair, and looked not quite so severe, and much less gloomy. There was a smile on his lips, and his eyes were bright, probably with wine. As I was looking at him, he suddenly turned, and asked me, ―Do you think I‘m handsome, Miss Eyre?‖The answer somehow slipped from my tongue before I realized it: ‗No, sir.‖―Ah, you really are unusual! You are a quiet, serious little person, but you can be almost rude.‖―Sir, I‘m sorry. I should have said that beauty doesn‘t matter, or something like that,‖―N o, you shouldn‘t! I see, you criticize my appearance, and then you stab（刺）me in the back! You have honesty and feeling. There are not many girls like you. But perhaps I go too fast. Perhaps you have awful faults to counterbalance（抵消）your few good points.I thought to myself that he might have too. He seemed to read my mind, and said quickly, ―Y es, you‘re right. I have plenty of faults. I went the wrong way when I was twenty-one, and have never found the right path again. I might have been very different. I might have been as good as you, and perhaps wiser. I am not a bad man, take my word for it, but I have done wrong. It wasn‘t my character, but circumstances which were to blame. Why do I tell you all this? Because you‘re the sort of person people tell their problems and secrets to, because you‘re sympathetic and give them hope.‖It seemed he had quite a lot to talk to me. He didn‘t seem to like to finish the talk quickly, as was the case for the first time.―Don‘t be afraid of me, Miss Eyre.‖ He continued. ―Y ou don‘t relax or laugh very much, perhaps because of the effect Lowood school has had on you. But in time you will be more natural with me, and laugh, and speak freely. You‘re like a bird in a cage. When you get out of the cage, you‘ll fly very high. Good night.‖72. At the beginning Miss Eyre 's impressions of Mr. Rochester were all EXCEPT _______.A. busyB. sociableC. friendlyD. changeable73. Why did Mr. Rochester say" . . . and then you stab me in the back!" (in para. 7)?A. Because Jane had intended to kill him with a knife.B. Because Jane had intended to be more critical.C. Because Jane had regretted having talked to him.D. Because Jane had said something else to correct herself.74. From what Mr. Rochester told Miss Eyre, we can conclude that he wanted to _______.A. tell her all his troublesB. tell her his life experienceC. change her opinion of himD. change his circumstances75. At the end of the passage, Mr. Rochester sounded_______.A. rudeB. coldC. friendlyD. encouragingSection CDirections: Read the following text and choose the most suitable heading from the list A-F for each paragraph. There is one extra heading which you do not need.76.An Iowa high school counselor gets a call from a parent protesting the ―C ‖ her child receivedon an assignment. ―The parent argued every point in the essay, ‖recalls the counselor, who soon realized whythe mother was so disappointed about my grade. ―It became apparent that she‘d written it. ‖77. a priority at their school, but only 25％described their experience working with parents as ―very satisfying.‖ When asked to choose me biggest challenge they fac e, 31％ of them quoted involving parents and communicating with them as their top choice. 73％ of new teachers said too many parents treat schools and teachers as enemies.78. At a time when competition is rising and resources are limited, when battles over testing force schools to adjust their priorities, when cell phones and e-mail speed up the information flow and all kinds of private ghosts and public quarrels slip into the parent-teacher conference, it‘s harder for both sides to step back and breathe deeply and look at the goals they share.79 Everyone says the parent-teacher conference should be pleasant, civilized, a kind of dialogue where parents and teachers build partnership. But what most teachers feel, and certainly what all parents feel, is anxiety and panic.80. When a teacher asks parents to be partners, he or she doesn't necessarily mean Mom or Dad should be camping in the classroom. Research shows that though students benefit modestly from having parents involved at school, what happens at home matters much more. According to research based on the National Education Longitudinal Study, a sample of nearly 25,000 eighth graders, among four main areas of parental involvement(home discussion, home supervision. school communication, and school participation), home discussion was the most strongly related.Section ＤDirections: Read the passage carefully. Then answer the questions or complete the statements in the fewest possible words.Years ago, when I started looking for my first job, wise advisers urged, "Barbara, be enthusiastic! Enthusiasm will take you further than any amount of experience."How right they were. Enthusiastic people can turn a boring drive into an adventure, extra work into opportunity and strangers into friends."Nothing great was ever achieved without enthusiasm," wrote Ralph Waldo Emerson. It is the paste that helps you hang in there when the going gets tough. It is the inner voice that whispers, "I can do it!" when others shout, "No, you can't."It took years and years for the early work of Barbara McClintock, a geneticist who won the 1983 Nobel Prize in medicine, to be generally accepted. Yet she didn't let up on her experiments. Work was such a deep pleasure for her that she never thought of stopping.We are all born with wide-eyed, enthusiastic wonder as anyone knows who has ever seen an infant's delight at the jingle of keys or the scurrying of a beetle.It is this childlike wonder that gives enthusiastic people such a youthful air, whatever their age.At 90, cellist Pablo Casals would start his day by playing Bach. As the music flowed through his fingers, his stooped shoulders would straighten and joy would reappear in his eyes. Music, for Casals, was a medicine that made life a never ending adventure. As author and poet Samuel Ullman once wrote, " Years wrinkle the skin, but to give up enthusiasm wrinkles the soul."How do you rediscover the enthusiasm of your childhood? The answer, I believe, lies in the word itself. "Enthusiasm" comes from the Greek and means "God within." And what is God within is but an abiding sense of love -- proper love of self (self-acceptance) and, from that, love of others.Enthusiastic people also love what they do, regardless of money or title or power. If we cannot do what we love as a full-time career, we can as a part-time avocation, like the head of state who paints, the nun who runs marathons, the executive who handcrafts furniture.Elizabeth Layton of Wellsville, Kan, was 68 before she began to draw. This activity ended bouts of depression that had plagued her for at least 30 years, and the quality of her work led one critic to say, "I am tempted to call Layton a genius." Elizabeth has rediscovered her enthusiasm. We can't afford to waste tears on "might-have-been." We need to turn the tears into sweat as we go after "what-can-be."We need to live each moment wholeheartedly, with all our senses -- finding pleasure in the fragrance of a back-yard garden, the crayoned picture of a six-year-old, the enchanting beauty of a rainbow. It is such enthusiastic love of life that puts a sparkle in our eyes and smoothes the wrinkles from our souls.（Note:Answer the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN TWELVE WORDS.）81. What is this passage mainly about?82. "Nothing great was ever achieved without enthusiasm," means we can achieve nothing.83. ―God within‖( in para.8 ) means .84. The last sentence (in para.10) We need to turn the tears into sweat as we go after"what-can-be." means .第II卷（共 45 分）I.

2012年上海中考英语一模试题汇编之阅读理解
2012年上海中考英语一模试题汇编之阅读理解【静安区】When we are talking about afternoon tea, what would you think of? A cup of tea, a piece of cake and a good mood, what a good enjoyment! But do you know how comes the afternoon tea?We should thank for a lady, who had created the custom of afternoon tea in 1840. She was Anna. At that time, people of upper class usually had supper at around 8 o’clock in the evening. But Anna began to feel hungry at round 4 in the afternoon. This had left her a good long time of 4 hours.

When the bell rings, students of Luohu Foreign Languages School in Shenzhen quickly take out their cell phones. They want to log on to their micro blogs to check the interesting things that have happened in the last hour.Since last year, thetrend (潮流) of micro blogging has swept the country.

Some misleading messages may even cause danger to kids, they said.Mr. Shen, a professor at the China Education Association, suggests parents not worry too much as long as kids are not crazy about micro blogging. Maybe it can become a window for parents to understand their children."If parents can read their children's micro blogs, they'll know their thoughts, thus leading to better communication and solutions to problems," he said.

I got out of the car, went through a gate and walked along a path. In the east, the sky was becoming light, but beside the path, it was still very dark. I knew it was there, but there was nothing to see.After about a kilometer, a strange appeared in front of me. ―Am I going the right way?‖ I asked. He knew where I was going. ―Yes,‖ he replied. ―you’ll get there in five minutes.‖ Finally, I came to some rocks, and stopped.I looked carefully over them, but it was still too dark to see anything.Suddenly, the clouds cleared and the rain stopped. The sun rose behind me and beyond the rocks. I saw that the ground fell away and down to a river, far below me. I was on the edge of the Grand Canyon(大峡谷), one of the wonders of the natural world.I looked down to the Colorado River about 2 kilometers below me. If you put three tallest buildings in the world at the bottom of the canyon, they still won’t reach the top. Then I looked across to the other side of the canyon. How far is it?

Her husband, who was a musician, had died, and left her very poor indeed.The businessman saw that the widow and her daughter, who was with her, were in great distress. He looked with pity into their pale faces, and was sure that their sad story was true.'How much do you want, my good woman?' said the businessman.'Five dollars will save us,' said the poor widow, with some hesitation, after she thought for a few seconds.The businessman sat down at his desk, took a piece of paper, wrote a few lines on it, and gave it to the widow with the words, 'Take it to the bank you see on the other side of the street.'The widow thanked the man, and then quickly walked to the bank with her daughter, without stopping to read the note. The banker at once counted out fifty dollars instead of five, and passed them to the widow.She was amazed when she saw so much money. 'Sir, there is a mistake here,' she said. 'You have given me fifty dollars, and I asked for only five.'The banker looked at the note once more, and said, 'The check calls for fifty dollars.'The banker then asked her to wait a few minutes, while he went to see the businessman who gave her the note.'Yes,' said the businessman, when he had heard the banker's story, 'I did make a mistake. I wrote fifty instead of five hundred. Give the poor widow five hundred dollars, for such honesty is poorly rewarded(奖赏) with even that sum.'74. From the story, we can guess that a widow is a woman who ______.A. has lost her husbandB. loves her husband very muchC. is very poorD. has a daughter but no sons75. ______ most probably has nothing to do with (和……无关) the word distress in the second paragraph.A poor family B.

Oh, you’ve got the flu! Late autumn and early winter is flu season. The flu is annoying. It takes weeks to get over. It prevents us from concentrating (集中注意) in class and having fun on the playground. So can we do anything to prevent it?Can exercise help our body fight off a cold or flu? This is a good question, but not easy to answer. There isn’t any research addressing this question. There was one small study among college students. But it did not show any difference in the body’s response (反应) to flu vaccine (流感疫苗) between students who exercised and those who did not. Exercise at the start of a cold or flu is unlikely to change the course of the illness.On the other hand, a person who exercises often will be in better physical condition. They will be more energetic. They may sleep more soundly and therefore be better rested, and may feel happier and less stressed by a cold or flu. So regular exercise is likely to help a person fight off colds and the flu.Because the flu and colds are caused by viruses, frequent hand-washing, keeping your hands away from your face, and avoiding contact with infected (被感染的) people will all help to prevent infection. Smoking makes a person more easily infected by viruses, so avoiding smoke is another way to be protected.74. _______________is flu season.A) Early spring and late autumn B) Late autumn and early winterC) Early autumn and late winter D) Late winter and early spring75.

A salary of $ 400,000, along with otherb enefits, is paid to the President annually. But President Obama’s income for 2008 was far more than that, according to the White House.The White House recently published the tax returns (纳税申报单)of Obama and Vice –president Joe Biden. Tax returns are reports of tax that a person has to pay. They often include income information used to calculate the tax. In the US, people whose incomes are over a certain amount have to file tax returns(纳税申报)every year. The tax returns of government officials are open to the public. This transparency helps to prevent corruption(腐败)。
