If it's hard for you to communicate with your parents, don't worry about it. Here are some advice for you to bridge the generation gap （代沟）.Don't argue （争辩） with your parents.

2024年各省市九年级英语联考统考一模试题（中考）精选阅读理解15篇（含答案解析）bcdeSwitzerland were able to guide lightning tor meters.The heat from the laser creates a path of air that is less thick than the air around it. The path also has a special charge (电荷). The lightning can follow this path almost as if it were a lightning rod. Scientist Matteo Clerici said, “The fact that we managed to do it in an outdoor environment is a very big step.”But the laser still didn’t guide the lightning as far as the scientists would like. Besides, the laser is also very expensive. The scientists say it cost about $2 billion. It will probably take 10 or more years before a laser like this is truly able to protect large buildings.6．To know how powerful lightning can be, which paragraph can we read?A．Paragraph 2.B．Paragraph 3.C．Paragraph 4.D．Paragraph 5.7．What is the laser technology expected to protect?A．High-rise buildings.B．Large buildings.C．Beautiful buildings.D．Important buildings.8．Why are lasers not used widely for changing the path of lightning strike now?A．Putting metal rods on the buildings is the best way.B．Some buildings are so large that it’s difficult to protect.C．Lasers are only able to guide lightning for a short distanceD．Lasers are so expensive that scientists can’t pay for experimenting.9．What can we learn from what Matteo Clerici said?A．Scientists still need to work harder to achieve a greater success.B．It is not easy for scientists to guide lightning with lasers outside.C．Scientists need to change working environment in next experiments.D．It is a great progress for scientists to guide lightning with lasers outside.10．What can we get to know at the end of the passage?A．Behind bad luck comes good luck.B．A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.C．There is still a long way to go before a laser can really work.D．For scientists, working together is better than working alone.CHave you ever dreamed of travelling all the way over the rainbow? Well, it’s easier than you think.All you need to do is to book a plane ticket to Rainbow Mountain in Peru (秘鲁).Rainbow Mountain is a beautiful natural wonder. It lies in the Andes in Cusco (库斯科的安第斯山脉). As its name suggests, the mountain has different colours.But why is it in yellow, green, red and purple? The reason is the ice that covered the area centuries ago. When it started to melt (融化), the water mixed with the minerals (矿物质) in the ground and turned the earth into many colours.If you plan your trip to the mountain, try to go during warmer months when there is less rain or snow. Rain or snow makes the climbing more difficult and the colours will look less beautiful. The best time is from March to November, when there are blue skies and pleasant weather. At the same time, visit it in the morning or evening, either right after sunrise or right before sunset. Very sunny days may make you not take nice photos.To get to Rainbow Mountain, you should first travel to Cusco—a province in the south of Peru. Then you can take a drive to Qesoyuno. From there you can start the journey on foot. It takes about a two-or-three-hour walk to the top. This is really the best way, but the trip is very difficult. Because the mountain sits at a very high altitude (海拔) about 5,200 meters above the sea level, so bring enough water and take your time.11．How does the writer start the passage?A．By listing a fact.B．By asking a question.C．By telling a story.D．By giving an example.12．What can we learn about Rainbow Mountain?A．It has seven different colours.B．It’s a man-made wonder.C．It was covered by ice in the past.D．It’s the most famous place of Peru.13．Which of the following is best time for a trip to Rainbow Mountain?A．At noon of a cold day in December.B．On the evening of a rainy day in August.C．On the afternoon of a snowy day in January.D．On the morning of a sunny day in September.14．Which of the following is TRUE?A．Rainbow Mountain lies in the Andes in Cusco.B．Very sunny days will help you take nice photos on Rainbow Mountain.18．What did Fu Lei think of Fu Cong’s future?A．It would be uncertain.B．It would be hopeful.C．It would be difficult.D．It would be interesting.19．Why was Fu Cong advised to read famous Chinese texts?A．To be a richer man.B．To do more academic training.C．To help more people.D．To become a better person.20．What’s the Chinese meaning of the underlined word “impact” in the last paragraph?A．改变B．影响C．贡献D．挑战EI’m Nancy. Do you remember the name of your kindergarten (幼儿园) teacher? I do. Her name was Mrs. White. And I remember I thought she must be a sister of Snow White, because she had the same bright blue eyes, short dark hair and fair skin as her.I don’t remember much about what we learned in her class, but my mother once told me that we used to write a lot. And I would bring back what I wrote and she would look at it and see there were so many mistakes. But no red corrections (改正), and always a star. Sometimes even a Good, which would make me fly with happiness. So one day when my mother went to meet Mrs. White for one of those parent-teacher meetings, she asked her why she never corrected my mistakes in the right spellings of words or pointed out grammatical mistakes.“The children are just beginning to get excited about using words and forming (形成) sentences. I don’t want my students to lose interest because of red ink (墨水). Spelling and grammar can wait, the wonder of words won’t...”Mrs. White said.Later I knew that if Mrs White had used her red pen often, I probably wouldn’t be telling you about this now. I look back now and think she must have been a rather unusual teacher to use as less red pen as possible.I used to misspell (拼错) “beautiful” a lot, and could never remember that the “e”goes before the “a”. It made my teacher in high school angry. She asked me to use “pretty” when I was writing. I didn’t listen to her. To my eyes, “pretty” is easier to spell, but it doesn’t hold as much as we mean sometimes.And thanks to Mrs. White, I never worried about writing what I meant even if I couldn’t quite spell it out, because life isn’t “pretty”. It’s “beautiful”.21．How might Nancy’s mother feel before she went to meet Mrs. White?A．Worried.B．Pleased.C．Proud.D．Embarrassed.22．Which one is right according to what Mrs. White said in Paragraph 3?A．Children don’t have the patience in spelling words.B．Red corrections are used to draw children’s attention.C．Children’s interest of learning words is very important.D．Grammar and spelling should be paid more attention to.23．What is the correct order according to the text?a. Nancy did badly in her schoolwork.b. Nancy’s mother understood what Mrs. White had done.c. Nancy would never mind misspelling to express herself.d. Mrs. White explained why she never corrected Nancy’s mistakes.e. Nancy’s high school teacher was not satisfied with her for misspelling.A．a-d-b-e-c B．b-e-a-d-c C．c-d-a-e-b D．d-a-e-c-b24．What can we learn from the text?A．One should help children spell correct words.B．We should never pay attention to spelling and grammar.C．Children should know how to use simple words to express themselves.D．Using words to express is more important than just correcting spelling.25．What’s the best title for the text?A．Mother’s Love.B．“Beautiful” Life.C．My Childhood.D．Growing up in Mistakes.FA man had a little dog, and he liked it a lot. He would pat (拍) its head, put it on his knee and talk to it. Then he would give it some food from his own plate.A donkey looked in through the window and saw the man and the dog.“Why doesn’t he choose me as his pet?” said the donkey. “It is not fair. I work hard, but the dog only shakes its tail, barks and jumps onto the master’s knee. It is not fair.”Then the donkey said to himself, “If I do what the dog does, the master may choose me as his pet.”As we walked about halfway down the hillside, she fell over a stone. I jogged up to where she tripped. Suddenly, I saw a lion about ten feet up on a huge rock watching me. It was making a long deep angry sound.I stood perfectly still, holding my breath, wondering what to do. Christina was crying down below.I couldn’t shout to her to be quiet, or the lion might attack me.Then, remembering Dad’s words, I slowly dropped my backpack and took off my T-shirt. With the pack on one arm and the T-shirt on the other, I spread my arms, trying to look as wide and big as I could. Carefully I moved away down the hillside toward Christina, keeping my eyes on the lion.“Christina,” I called. “Stop crying. Get up slowly and catch my belt. We’re going down the hill. There’s a lion at the top.”We moved quietly and slowly down the hill. Once back to the forest, with the lion out of view, I removed the sweat (汗水) from my face with my T-shirt before putting it on, and looked at Christina. Hatless, red eyes, a few small cuts but nothing major.I pulled out the map. The campground was on the other side of the hill. We had hiked for miles before we finally made our way back to our site.Dad saw me first.“Where have you been?” he shouted.“We were so worried,” Mother cried.“Mommy, you didn’t have to worry. Sean is real smart.” Christina said.I caught Dad’s eye. He smiled. At that moment I realized I was a big brother.45．How did Christina feel before she fell over a stone?A．Happy.B．Proud.C．Nervous.D．Worried.46．What did Sean do when he first saw the lion?A．He started crying.B．He picked up a huge rock.C．He remained still.D．He jogged up to his sister.47．Why did Sean try to look wide and big?2.

It is only when we cannot see perfectly that we realize how important our eyes are.②People who are near-sighted can only see things that are very close to their eyes. Everything else seems blurry (=unclear). Many people who do a lot of work, such as writing, reading and sewing become near-sighted.③People who are far-sighted(远视) suffer from just the opposite problem. They can see things that are far away, but they have difficulty in reading a book unless they hold it at arm’s length. If they want to do much reading, they must get glasses, too.④Other people do not see clearly because their eyes are not exactly the right shape. They have what is called astigmatism (散光). This, too, can be corrected by glasses. Some people’s eyes become cloudy because of cataracts (白内障). Long ago these people often became blind. Now, however, it is possible to operate on the cataracts and remove them.⑤Having two good eyes is important for judging(判断) distances(距离). Each eye sees things from a slightly different angle. To prove this to yourself, look at an object out of one eye; then look at the same object out of your other eye. You will find the object’s relation to the background and other things around it has changed. The difference between these two different eye views helps us to judge how far away an object is. People who have only one eye cannot judge distance as people with two eyes.16．We should look after our eyes well ________.A．only when we can see well B．only when we cannot see perfectly C．even though we can see well D．only when we know how important our eyes are17．When things far away seem unclear, one is probably ________.A．near-sighted B．far-sightedC．astigmatic D．suffering from cataracts18．Having two eyes instead of one is especially useful for ________.A．seeing at night B．seeing objects far awayC．looking over a wide area D．judging distances19．Which of the following shows the structure (结构) of the passage?A ．B ．C ．D ．Sports play an important role in teenagers’ li ves.

For example, young people with untidy bedrooms are usually very creative. They are good at subjects like English, art and even at math. That can be the result when children use their heads to think about how to solve a problem.This doesn’t mean that a bedroom should always be untidy. Cleaning up a bedroom once a month, for example, is usually enough and makes people use their imagination (想象力) more. Children who have untidy bedrooms often remember details.Children should clean their own rooms because this is part of their jobs but not always theparents’. Part of growing up is learning to care for yourself and be able to make your own decisions. These children often do better in life because they’ve learned how to spend free time.Also, sometimes children will have a surprise when they clean their rooms. They may get excited when they find ¥50 under the bed or find their gifts under the quilts.It’s important for children to improve their own personality (个性) and an untidy bedroom can be part of this.23．According to the writer, children with untidy rooms _________.A．are usually very lazy B．are usually very smartC．like to use their heads D．like to clean their rooms24．According to Paragraph 3, we can infer that children who often clean rooms _________.

It is passed from generation（一代）to generation only as the spoken word.Food, art and everything else about the city also has a flavor that can’t be found in the rest of China.

You want to jump in and save them but that might put you in danger. What do you do?Soon this won’t be your problem anymore because a robot swimmer called Swumanoid will be on-hand to help.Scientists from Japan created this robot to swim like an Olympic athlete. They mapped the swimmer’s body and how every part moves, so the robot could swim exactly as a human does.Swumanoid can swim the backstroke (仰泳) and the front crawl (自由泳) at a speed of 0.64 meters a second, which is a third of the human world record according to the Daily Mail (每日邮报).Motomu Nakashima, the leader of the study, hopes that robots like Swumanoid can act as lifesavers in the future, helping those in trouble.Besides saving lives, Swumanoid can also be used in swimming research. It can test water resistance (阻力) and work out how people swim. The information collected is expected to help scientists find ways to improve a swimmer's skills.Unlike human swimmers, robots don’t get tired from doing the same stroke (泳姿) again and again, so they do not slow down. Thus, they can collect information more correctly.But the robot is not yet ready to take the place of lifesavers by the pool. Scientists say there are still certain things that need to be improved, such as the motors and waterproofing (防水的) design.52．Swumanoid can swim exactly as a human does because _________.A．it was created by an Olympic swimmerB．it can follow the way swimmers moveC．it can swim the way real swimmers moveD．it can help people who are drowning53．Swumanoid can collect information more efficiently because ________.A．it can do many types of strokes B．it can swim as fast as world record-holders C．it won’t feel tired and never slows down D．it doesn’t feel water resistance54．How many uses for the robot swimmers are mentioned in the passage?A．One.

My cat enjoys a meal of good, thick paper, old letters, for example. She does not like newspapers very muchOf course, the best paper comes from wood. Wood comes from trees, and trees are plants. Vegetables and fruit are plants, too, and we eat a lot of them. So can we also eat wood and paper?Scientists say, "All food comes in some way from plants." Well, is that true? Animals eat grass and grow fat. Then we eat their meat. Little fish eat little sea-plants, then bigger fish swim along and eat the ……Chickens eat bits of grass and give us…… Think for a minute. What food does not come from plants in some way?Scientists can do wonderful things with plants. They can make food just like meat and cheese. And they can make it without the help of animals.

About five minutes later, the bus they wanted came along. They were just going to get on when suddenly there was a loud noise behind them.

No one had told them about the British custom (习惯)of lining up for a bus that the first person who arrives at the bus stop is the first person to get on the bus .Learning the language of a country isn't enough. If you want to have a pleasant visit, find out as much as possible about the manners and customs of your host country. You will probably besurprised just how different they can be from your own. A visitor to India would do well to remember that people there consider it impolite to use the left hand for passing food at table. The left hand is supposed to be used for washing yourself. Also in India, you might see a man shaking his head at another to show that he doesn't agree. But in many parts of India a shake of the head means agreement. Nodding (点头) your head when you are given a drink in Bulgaria will most probably leave you thirsty .In that country, you shake your head to mean 'yes'— a nod means 'no' . At a meal in countries on the Arabic Peninsula, you will find that your glass is repeated refilled as soon as you drink up . If you think that you have had enough , you should take the cup or glasses in your hand and give it a little shake from side to side or place your hand over the top.In Europe it quite usual to cross your legs when you are sitting talking to someone even at an important meeting. Doing this in Thailand, however, could bring about trouble . Also, you should try to avoid (避免)touching the head of an adult (成人) ——it's just not done in Thailand .1.

People can either carry it around for a portable (轻便的) chair or can store it in their homes to use as extra furniture.The book was designed by Mike Mak. He came up with the idea after never having enough seats for his friends in his home in Hong Kong.“I love having friends at my place, but I have never had enough seats for everyone—we would always end up with just sitting on the floor. 1 really want a seat that doesn’t take up any floor space when I don’t need it. One day, the empty space on my bo okcase drew my attention. Then came the new idea—Bookniture, furniture hidden in a book,” said the 30-year-old designer.Made from fully-recyclable kraft paper (牛皮纸) , the book measures 33 cm by 18 cm.

Of course, it came as a big surprise when tears came up, no matter how hard I tried, I wasn’t able to control myself.Oh no, not this now. I thought to myself. But even as the thought entered my brain. I felt the first hot drop of salty water coming down my face. I put my head down, hoping that I could go on reading.In fact, the harder I tried, the more tears pushed their way out of my eyes. You could guess how surprised the man next to me looked.I dropped my head in shame. He must think I was crazy. May be I could turn toward him, hold up the cover of the book and say in my crying voice. "I'm sorry, sir. It's just a really good book! "But I didn't say anything. Instead, I just put my head back against the seat and let the tears run. Do you know what decision I made while I was crying? My decision was that it was okay if he thought I was crazy. I'd rather be crazy than be the kind of person who wouldn't cry when the situation called for it, or who wouldn't let herself feel anything at all.I’ve been that girl who has spent so much time trying to make sure people didn’t think I was crazy. But now I don’t want to be that girl any more ---that bored and sad girl.

In the background, a young girl reads a rejection (拒绝) letter from a ballet school. You have the wrong body for ballet, 'it says,' and at thirteen, you are too old. This was one of the most popular advertisements (广告) of 2014 and it describes American ballet Theatre's principal (主要的) dancer Misty Copeland.This was not a real letter. But Copeland says it is very similar to letters from her childhood. While many dancers start at the age of three. Copeland only began to study ballet in 1995 as a thirteen-year-old. People often told her that she was too old, or that she didn't have the perfect body type (She is only 157 cm tall). Her family moved a lot, and it was sometimes difficult for her to attend ballet classes. But Copeland loved dancing and did not want to give up. She stayed with her ballet teacher during the week and spent time with her family only at the weekend. This was a difficult life, but she worked hard and wonher first national competition when she was fourteen years old. Copeland joined the American Ballet Theatre in 2000 and performed in many ballets over the next few years. In 2007, she became a solo (单独的) performer, and in 2015 she became its principal dancer.Copeland is now a dancer, author and Broadway performer. She also stars in the 2015 film A Ballerina's Tale. So what's next? According to Copeland, anything is possible: "My career (职业) really is just now beginning.'( )15.How old was Copeland when she became the principal dancer?A. 13B. 14C. 25D. 33( )16.Why was it difficult for Copeland to attend ballet classes?A.

Copeland was lucky to get support from the ballet school.EDrriinnggg! That’s the sound that kids all over the country hate to hear-the alarm bell. The new school year has just started and children across the UK have to wake up early in the morning to go to school.It students at one school in north-east England are lucky. They can lie in bed for an extra(额外的)hour before they go to school. Monkseaton High School has been allowing its pupils to come into school an hour later than other schools.The headmaster, Dr Paul Kelley, says that this new approach(手段) helps students pay more attention to their lessons in class. He feels that young people are more energetic and can perform better for the rest ofthe day. And he adds that for their school students, a late start at school may be better than an early one.Dr. Kelley tells the BBC that teenagers don' t perform very well in the morning and their need to sleep is biological(生物的).It seems that this new approach to teaching shows positive(积极乐观的) results. The numberof students who sleep in class drops quickly. Besides, the school has already seen a drop in the number of pupils who play truant(逃学)by 27%. More importantly, Dr. Kelley also says that exam results have improved by 20%-30%over the past year.Classes at Monkseaton High School begin at 10 a.m and finish at 3: 40 p.m. However, the school opens from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. The students can come early and leave late if they want.( )19.This passage is .A. a news reportB. a speechC. a storyD. a notice( )20.The students in Monkscaton High school can than the students in other schools.A. go to school an hour laterB. go to school an hour earlierC. go to bed an hour laterD. get up an hour earlier( )21.According to the passage, Dr Paul Kelley the new approach.A. gives no opinions aboutB. has his doubts aboutC. disagrees withD. agrees with( )22.Which is NOT the positive results about the new approach?A.

So it might surprise you to learn that restaurants, as we know them, have only existed for a few centuries. Before 1765, therewere no restaurants. That is, there were no places that provided the restaurant experience. There was nowhere in which a waiter brought you food and drink that you picked from a menu. In fact, there were no menus anywhere.There were eating places travellers could go to centuries before that. The countryside was full of inns that would serve food. And there were taverns where one could get drinks. The rich could also eat special meals prepared by private cooks. But none of them could be called a “restaurant”.A man called Boulanger changed that. In 1765, he opened a place in Paris that sold soups(汤). On his sign he used the word "restaurant" to describe what he was selling. At that time, soups were considered something that could help "restore"(恢复)your health- in French the word "restore" is “restaurer”--- so he called the soups "restaurants". Soon, people started buying Boulanger's soups even when they were not ill. And over time, people began to use the word "restaurant" to refer to a place selling soup rather than the soup itself. More "restaurants" opened in France, and people began to buy soups more often.Later, restaurants in Paris began to serve other food besides soup. In the 1790s, menus started to appear. By the mid-1800s, there were many types of restaurants throughout the world. The United States offered coffee shops. Tea houses became popular throughout China. Paris created beautiful restaurants for the rich. The British began to copy the French, and the restaurant idea spread throughout the British Empire.Today cities are filled with all types of restaurants. Diners have millions of options from which to choose.( )24. What is the passage mainly about?A. How restaurants developedB. What made a good restaurant.C. Who created the first restaurantD. Why restaurants became popular.( )25.According to the first paragraph, what made restaurants different from earlier eating places?A. Restaurants only served foodB. Restaurants were more expensiveC. Restaurants were mainly in citiesD. Restaurants had a list of meal choices( )26.Who did Boulanger expect to come and eat at his restaurant?A. Rich peopleB. Sick people.C. Travellers.D. Workers.( )27.When it was first used. what did the word "restaurant" refer to?A. A person.B. A place.C. Illness.D. Soup.( )28.When did restaurants begin to grow internationally?A.In the 1600s.B. In the 1700s.C. In the 1800s.D. In the 1900s.G“V olunteering makes you look at the world differently. You see how little things can change a person’s life for the better, which makes everyone a better person.” Mason, a volunteer said.National V olunteer Week started in 1974 and is held every April. It is a time to thank volunteers for their achievements. It is also a perfect opportunity (机会) to encourage others to take their first step toward becoming a volunteer. Making the decision to take the first step can be the biggest problem, because they often wonder if they will be able to meet the organization’s expectations (期望). Some people fear not knowing anyone else in the group. Not having enough time also prevents some from sharing their abilities.The following tips can help if you have some of these worries.★Start out slowly, don’t add too much pressure. Even a few hours a month can make a big difference in someone’s life.★Choose an organization with the same interests and common values.★ Take part in a training meeting for new volunteers, even if it isnot asked.★Work with a veteran volunteer. He volunteered a lot, he can help you increase the confidence and completely understand the organization’s expectations.★Invite a friend or family member to serve. It is a good experience to volunteer with them.★ Finally, it is most important to enjoy the volunteer experience and to remember that not all volunteer experiences are perfect. If one experience doesn’t work, don’t give up and you’ll surely find the right opportunity.Spend some time on volunteer work and you will see great changes in people’s lives. As Ma son discovered during his volunteer experience, “…little things can change a person’s life.”( )29.V olunteering can help _________.A. make a decisionB. see the world clearlyC. thank other peopleD. make person’s life better( )30.What could be the reason to stop people taking the first step?A.They don’t have enough time.B.

I was terrified but I just acted cool.—Buding, still afraid of spidersI was scared of the dark because I didn't know if there was something scary inside the room. As a result, I always liked sleeping with my back facing the wall because it made me a little comfortable.—Gerard, not so afraid of the dark anymore, but still sleeps with his back facing the wallStrange as it probably sounds, I was scared of shadows（影子）.Not the shadows themselves, but what they formed（形成）.Because I was near-sighted（近视的）, the shadows I saw formed into the scariest things I saw in my mind.—Jean, no longer afraid of shadows I was afraid of the old woman who lived alone right in front of us.

Sometimes, on grey, rainy days, your mood level is lower than on bright, sunny days. Is this a coincidence（巧合）, or is there some science behind this? Would you like to know more about how the weather can affect how you feel?According to a recent study, there is a connection between weather and moods. Going to a warm place in the middle of winter can make our moods better. Pleasant weather has been proved to improve moods and memory. However, extremely hot weather can actually make us feel more tired and bored, spoiling our moods.In the study, people who spent time outdoors in warm weather were happier than those who spent all day inside.The best temperature for humans is about 22.2℃. That explains why people in southern California are happy all the time. To improve his or her moods, a person must spend at least 30 minutes outside in warm, sunny weather. Spending time indoors when the weather outside is so nice tends to lower moods.Maybe just the activities connected with being outside affect our moods. Warm weather is connected with the beach, fun outdoor sports and so on. It brings back childhood memories of playing outside all day. Who doesn't love that?Of course, we can wake up every day and decide how we will feel that day. If it's rainy, that won't necessarily make us unhappy. We'll just have to bring our umbrellas out and cheer up those who are feeling sad!（1）According to the study, we may feel on extremely hot days.A. happierB. more boredC. more excitedD. more pleased（2）Warm weather can help improve our moods and according to the passage.A. sightB. memoryC. heightD. hearing（3）Why are people in southern California happy all the time?A.

We see it any place we go and, in fact, almost all of us carry some piece of technology with us every time we leave the house. What I always forget, though, is just how useful and powerful technology can be when we want to help others.There is not a single room in my house that does not have some electronic devices （设备）lying around in it. Whenever I am at home, I am almost always using at least one electronic device. If you walked into my living room on any given day, you would find that, first, I have the television on. At the same time, I usually have my laptop resting on my knee, or I will be using my mobile phone. Even when I'm not at home I am always using my phone, and at work or in cafés, I sit down and connect to the local wireless network on my laptop.I must say that I waste a lot of time on the computer and the time I spend on it could be much better spent if I were to take up a little online volunteering.The technology we carry about everywhere can have a great power to do good for the world and to help others and recently I discovered just how much online volunteering there is to do in the world. From using your language skills to do translations, to developing and managing projects and helping with IT work, there is so much that so many people can do to help people in their own countries and across the world. The United Nations, in fact, has a huge page with "Volunteers Recruited" on its website.This work can support the poor and help charities who cannot pay for staff members. Many organizations only require you to work an hour a week﹣some even less. And the support provided by online volunteers can really help make a difference to those in need.（1）From Paragraph 2, we can know that the writer .A. is a computer engineerB. works in a caféC. uses technology a lotD. likes modern music（2）The underlined word" Recruited" in Paragraph 4 means" ".A. OrderedB. VisitedC. WantedD. Warned（3）In the writer's opinion, people should spend more time with technology.A. working on computer programsB. keeping the Internet safeC. inventing electronic productsD. helping people in need（4）What can be the best title for the passage？A. Online VolunteeringB. Internet OrganizationsC. Website DesignD. Online Translation6．阅读理解My 14-year-old son, John, and I saw the coat at the same time in a second-hand clothing store. It stood out among big and old coats. It was so beautiful and had an unbelievable price, $ 28. I looked at my son and we both said nothing, but John's eyes shone. Dark, woolen coats were popular with teenage boys, but new ones could cost several hundred dollars. This coat was even better. John tried it on and turned from side to side, eyeing himself in the mirror. It fit him so well. John wore the coal to school the next clay. After he came home, I asked. "Did the kids like your coat?""They loved it," he said with a big grin.Over the next few weeks, John changed. He was polite, less argumentative, more thoughtful, and much happier. "Good dinner, Mom," he would say every evening. Without a word of complaining, he would carry in wood for the stove. One day when I suggested that he might start on his homework before dinner, John, who always put things off, said, "You're right. I guess I will." When I mentioned this change to one of his teachers, she joked that the coat must have changed him.John and I both know we should never judge a person by his clothes. But it is true that when wearing beautiful and suitable clothes, we may try to be better in thought, speech and behavior to match what is on the inside to what is on the outside.（1）What can we learn from the first paragraph?A. The price of the coat was too high.B. John liked the coat very much.C. They often went shopping together.D. The writer didn't want to buy the coat.（2）What did John use to do when he was asked to study?A. Start at once.B. Put off his homework.C. Work hard on schoolwork.D. Carry in wood for the stove.（3）Which of the following changes did NOT happen to John after he wore the coat?A. He was willing to follow suggestions.B. He often helped to do some housework.C. He always worried about his study.D. He said sweet words to make his mother happy.（4）What does the writer want to say through this passage?A. What we wear could help shape who we are inside.B. Life is full of possibilities when we are young.C. We should not judge people by their appearance.D. It's a good choice to try different things in our lives.7．阅读理解Stonehenge means "hanging stones". They stood in a circle, with 30 more stones lying on top to form a ring of rocks. There was also an inner circle built with similar stones. The stones set up in a trilithon（巨石牌坊） pattern.A trilithon is made of two stone pillars with a stab of rock laid across the top. The stones weigh up to 20 tons each. People wonder how the huge rocks were placed that way.Historians agree that Stonehenge was built in three different stages. The first stage took place about 5, 000 years ago. At that time, a large circular earth wall was made. Historians believe the wall was dug and cut with tools made form anglers（鹿角）of red deer. The earth wall was about 98m in diameter（直径） a 5-meter-tall stone was placed near the center. Then, they had to transport the large blue stones （up to 4 tons） 384 kilometers to Stonehenge. Experts think they might be moved across ice and snow. The ground in winter in this area is usually full of ice and snow, making it easier to move the rocks. The next task was to stand the stones up. The most difficult task was putting the top stones in place. Each one of these tasks took a lot of planning and a lot of strength, but the workers of Stonehenge were excellent builders.Why was the monument built? Some scientists think it's a burial ground. There are over 400 graves （burial sits） nearby. A man was buried with two gold earrings which are the oldest gold ever found in Britain （dated to 2470 BC）. Others think Stonehenge was built by early astronomers. Scientists believe that when a person stands in the center of the monument, the changing of seasons can be seen. Certain stones mark the location of the rising and setting moon in midwinter. Other stones mark the rising and setting sun in midsummer. The ancient people held religious ceremonies on these days. These ceremonies probably asked the gods to bring good weather for crops and to protect the people from bad weather.Stonehenge is an engineering success. Thousands of years later, it still stands. As a calendar, Stonehenge is very accurate. It shows that early people had a deep understanding of the movements to the sun and the moon. They didn't have machines or computers, but Stonehenge shows people could do many things using only their muscles and their brains.（1）he first building stage of Stonehenge was ________.A. to dig and cut the earth wallB. to move the blue stones across the iceC. to stand the stones upD. to put the top stones in place（2）Which evidence（证据） is given to support the idea that Stonehenge was a burial ground?A. Stonehenge was made of stones.B. It is a place for celebrating ceremonies.C. The passing of seasons can be seen there.D. Two gold earrings were found in a grave.（3）The underlined word "accurate" in the last paragraph probably means "________".A. correctB. strangeC. hugeD. heavy（4）Stonehenge was probably NOT originally built for ________.A. touristsB. religious reasonsC. a burial groundD. telling the seasons8．阅读理解I'm sure most people like music. Music can not only bring us wonderful enjoyment, but alsobring us happiness when we are tired or sad. And many people have the habit of enjoying music when they are free. But to our surprise, one English school allows children to listen to music oreven to have the TV on while they are studying, and they find it is helpful to improve the students' grades.According to a research at Millfield School in the UK, around 20% of teenagers work better with background music, and 10% excel when allowed to finish their work with short walks around theroom while up to 80% can concentrate （集中注意）better if allowed to play with a small object.The research has made the school use a very new way, encouraging students to discover which learning styles suit them best, and then do their homework listening to music or even lying down. Some parents don't believe, .but many are now accepting it at home where children are allowedto do their homework with the television on."I prefer to work on the floor with music on," said Sam, a 13-year-old boy." At first my parent thought I didn't study hard, but my teacher asked them to look at my homework and when theysaw it was OK, they agreed at last."（1）What advantage of music hasn't been mentioned in the passage?A.
