2015年北京市英语中考模拟试题专项阅读理解C篇汇编含答案
2015年北京市英语中考模拟试题专项阅读理解C篇汇编一、北京市朝阳区2015中考一模CWhere did that number come from?Eleven and TwelveThe reason behind the change in number naming is that eleven comes from the German term ainlif, which translates to “one left”. Twelve follows the same rule. It comes from twalif—“two left”. Why teen is used instead of lif for 13 through 19? There is something sadly lost in history.911 for US Emergency (急救) CallsEarly phones didn’t use phone numb ers—the operator had to connect your call by hand—and this led to the need for an emergency code (信号). But later phone numbers became popular, that changed. In 1967, 911 was chosen as the nationwide emergency call because it was easy to remember and could be quickly dialed (拨) on the phone.26.2 Miles in a Marathon (马拉松)The story began with an ancient Greek soldier ca rrying message from a battlefield (战场) in Marathon to Athens. The modern marathon was born as a flagship event in the first Olympic Games, in 1896, with a distance (距离) of about 25 miles (40 km), as long as the distance from Marathon to Athens. But race organizers for the 1908 Olympic Games in London wanted to add something special. The race began at Windsor Castle and ended at White City Stadium, with runners finishing only after passing the royal (皇室的) box. The distance was 26.2 miles (42.1 km). And since 1924 this distance has been kept in marathon.28 Days in FebruaryBefore using the Gregorian calendar that we use today, one of the first Roman calendars had only 304 days and ten months (March through December), with six months of 30 days and four of 31 days. The second king of Rome improved the old calendar. He added 50 days for January and February. To make the new months longer, he took one day from each of the 30-day months, making 56 days to divide between January and February (or 28 days each). Later January was given one more day to add up to 355 days a year, but February still had 28 days. That’s how it became the shortest month and it stayed that way ever since.48. Which language do eleven and twelve come from?A. English.B. German.C. French.D. Russian.49. When was the number 911 chosen for US emergency calls?A. In 1896.B. In 1908.C. In 1924.D. In 1967.50. The marathon distance was made longer at London Olympic Games because ______.A. the British was a little weak in mathsB. the British didn’t like the Greek storyC. the British loved the royal family very muchD. the British wanted to make the race different51. How many days were there in each month after the king improved the old calendar?A. 28, 29 or 31.B. 28, 30 or 31.C. 28, 29 or 30.D. 29, 30 or 31.二、北京市顺义区2015年中考一模英语CComets(彗星) are parts of our solar system（太阳系）.Like the planets, they go around the sun.But comets are not made of solid rock like planets. Acomet is a ball of dust, stones, and ice. Many people callcomets dirty snowballs.The “snowball” may be only a few miles across. Butwhen the sun heats the “snowball,” much of i t is changed togases. The gases spread out and form the comet’s head,which may be thousands of miles across.* * *A comet moves fast in its trip around the sun. But whenwe see it, the comet does not seem to move. That’s becauseit is so far away. The moon moves fast, but when you look at it, you can’t see any motion. That’s because the moon is far away.So comets do not rush across the sky. You cannot see any motion. But if you look night after night, you can see that a comet changes position among the stars. If you watch the moon night after night, you’ll see that it also changes position.Each year astronomers discover new comets. Some of them are seen onlyonce. They make one trip around the sun and then go way out into space. The sun’s gravity（重力、引力）cannot hold them.Other comets, like Halley, keep returning. They have been captured by the sun. Halley’s earliest visit was probably 3,000 years ago. It may keep returning for another 3,000 years.But every time a comet goes around the sun, the comet loses part of itself. Gases and dust are pulled out of the comet. That’s why Halley is now dimmer than it used to be. Next time it visits us, in 2062, it may be even dimmer. Each visit it may get dimmer and dimmer, until it finally disappears.54. What is this passage mostly about?A. Comets and the sun.B. Why comets are like snowballs.C. Who discovered the first comet.D. Facts about comets.55. According to the passage, some comets have been “captured by the sun.” What does the underlined phrase mean?A. The comets are rushing into the sun.B. The comets have been brightened by the sun.C. The comets are stuck in the sun’s gravity.D. The comets have been burned by the sun’s heat.56. How does the author help the reader understand what a comet looks like?A. By telling about a famous one.B. By explaining how far away it is.C. By describing how fast it moves.D. By describing it as a dirty snowball.57. What is the most likely reason the author wrote this passage?A. To give information about comets.B. To tell readers about famous comets.C. To explain the importance of comets.D. To encourage readers to look for comets.三、北京市燕山2015年中考一模CIt was a cold winter day. A woman drove up to the Rainbow Bridge tollbooth. “I’m paying for myself, and for the six cars behind me,” she said with asmile, handing over seven tickets. One after another, the next si x drivers arriving at the tollbooth were informed, “Some lady up ahead already paid your fare.”It turned out that the woman, Natalie Smith, had read something on a friend’s refrigerator: “Practice random (随意的) kindness and senseless acts of beauty.” The phrase impressed (使某人印象深刻) her so much that she copied it down.Judy Foreman saw the same phrase on a warehouse wall far away from home. When it stayed on her mind for days, she gave up and drove all the way back to copy it down. “I thought it was beautiful,” she said, explaining why she’d ta ken to writing it at the bottom of all her letters, “like a message from above.” Her husband, Frank, liked the phrase so much that he put it up on the classroom wall for his students, one of whom was the daughter of Alice Johnson, a local news reporter. Alice put it in the newspaper, saying that though she liked it, she didn’t know where it came from or what it really meant.Two days later, Alice got a call from Anne Herbert, a woman living in Marin. It was in a restaurant that Anne wrote the phrase down on a piece of paper, after turning it around in her mind for days.“Here’s the idea,” Anne says. “Anything you think there should be more of, do it randomly.” Her fantasies include painting the classrooms of shabby schools, leaving hot meals on kitchen tables in the poor part of town, and giving money secretly to a proud old lady. Anne says, “Kindness can build on itself as much as violence (暴力) can build on itself.”The acts of random kindness spread. If you were one of those drivers who found your fare paid, who knows what you might have been encouraged to do for someone else later. Like all great events, kindness begins slowly, with every single act. Let it be yours!48. Why did Natalie Smith pay for the six cars behind her?A. She had seven tickets.B. She hoped to please others.C. She wanted to show kindness.D. She knew the car drivers well.49. Judy Foreman copied down the phrase because she ___ .A. thought it was beautifully writtenB. wanted to know what it really meantC. decided to write it on a warehouse wallD. wanted her husband to put it up in the classroom50. Who came up with the phrase according to the passage?A. Judy Foreman.B. Natalie Smith.C. Alice Johnson.D. Anne Herbert.51. What can we infer from the last paragraph?A. People should practice random kindness to those in need.B. People who receive kindness are likely to offer it to others.C. People should practice random kindness to strangers they meet.D. People who receive kindness are likely to pay it back to the giver.四、东城区2015中考一模试题CAlexis Martin is a three-year-old girl from Arizona. She hasn’t started kindergarten(幼儿园)yet, but she has an IQ above 160, which is well above the average (一般的)people’s IQ. So, th ere is no wonder that sh e has become the youngest member of Mensa, the largest and oldest high IQ society in the world. Mensa is an international club whose members must have an IQ score in the top 2% of the world. Currently, Mensa has 3,300 members under the age of18 in the U.S. Alexis is one of them.The average people generally have an IQ score of 100 points, but Alexis scored 160 points, the highest score on the test. The doctors who tested Alexis said she scored so high that they couldn’t even work out her IQ exactly. They think she is even smarter than 99.9% ofthe world population. Actually, she matched the IQs of talents like Albert Einstein, Stephen Hawking and Bill Gates.Ian Martin, Alexis’ father, said his daughter showed signs of some special abilities at the age of one and she began reading books for pupils when she was ju st two years old. Now at the age of three, Alexis is reading on a fifth gradelevel.“From 12 months old, we’d be driving around in the car and sh e would repeat her bedtimestories from the night bef ore,”he said. “She didn’t just repeat them. She could remember every word of them exactly.”Ian Martin thinks his daughter also stands out when it comes to learning new languages. “Anytime she learns a word and just picks it up through anything. She never ever uses it i n the incorrect situation, ever.”Ian said.While Alexis’s parents are proud that their three-year-old daughter has become a member in Mensa, they are also aware of the price that comes with every gift. The doctors say Alexis should never attend a normal school and children with her level of intelligence(智力) often experience high anxiety(焦虑) unless they’re around similarly gifted boys and girls. Her parents decide to follow the advice and try to look for proper ways to help her get involved into society.48. Mensa only accepts ____________.A. teenagers under 18 in the U.S.B. people with IQs above 160 in the U.S.C. talents in the world like Albert EinsteinD. people withIQs in the top 2% of the world49. From the passage, we know that Alex is’ IQ is____________.A. getting higher through trainingB. beyond the limit of the IQ testC. above the IQ of Stephen HawkingD. growing too fast to get an exact score50. One of Alexis’ special abilities is that____________.A. she could read stories at the age of oneB. she could write books for pupils at the age of twoC. she canremember every word of what her parents saidD. she can learn new words quickly and use them properly51. What can we learn from the last paragraph?A. Alexis is sure to experience anxiety in the future.B. Alexis’parents can’t afford the gift that she chooses.C. Alexis’parents won’t be able to find her a normal school.D. Alexis may feel it hard to get along with the average people.五、海淀区2015中考英语一模CNeed to buy something? Why go to a store? Buy it on the Internet! Need it now? Why wait? Ask for next-day delivery! Each day, more and more people try online shopping. In fact, online sales have doubled in the last ten years. But not everyone is excited. Some scientists now say that online shopping is bad for the environment.People are surprised to hear this. “They think, ‘I don’t need to drive, and the business doesn’t need to build a store, so there will be less pollution,’” says NuriaProst, an environmental scientist. “But it is not so simple. In fact, online shopping is wasteful. It also adds to air pollution.”In truth, the Internet is not always as good a friend to the environment as it seems. For example, most people thought that the Internet would help offices use less paper and other materials. But paper use increased by 33 percent between 1986 and 1997. “Online shopping could have similarly negative effects,” says Nevil Cohen, a professor of environmental science.Part of the problem is what people are buying these days. In the past, people bought things on the Internet that did not require much packing material, such as books and clothing. But now people also shop online for large, heavy products such as televisions, computers, and furniture. These products need to be packed in large amounts of plastic and paper. This creates a lot of waste.Another problem caused by online shopping is air pollution. When customers buy products and ask for next-day delivery, companies often have to send them by air. Airplanes use much more fuel than cars and produce more carbon dioxide (CO2). When people buy a lot of different things from different online businesses, this creates even more travel by airplane.Online product returns are al so a problem. For example, an online shoe store may allow customers to return shoes without extra pay if they are the wrong size. This doubles the packing material and number of airplane trips required to sell one pair of shoes.“If people want to protect the environment,they need to think before they shop,” says Prost. “People need to ask themselves: Is this exactly what I want? Do I really need it tomorrow, or can I wait?” Online stores can also charge（收费）customers for returns. This may make people shop more carefully. “Online shopping is fast and easy,” says Prost, “but we can’t forget the negative effects it has on the environment.”48. Why does online shopping create a lot of waste?A. Because companies charge more for product returns.B. Because people buy too many things they don’t need.C. Because paper use has increased by 33 percent from 1986 to 1997.D. Because large, heavy products require much packing material.49. What do companies do to meet the needs of the next-day delivery?A. Prepare more products.B. Get more workers to pack.C. Send the products by air.D. Open more stores in cities.50. Prost probably agrees that ______.A. people should drive to stores to buy thingsB. online shopping adds pollution to the environmentC. online shopping saves more than shopping in a storeD. people can buy things online without careful consideration51. What is probably the best title of the passage?A. A Good Deal to Make?B. A Different Lifestyle to Keep?C. A Cleaner Way to Shop?D. A New Business to Start?六、怀柔区2015年中考一模CThere are many online food shopping sites. This is very surprising. Things like CDs, books, and DVDs sell well online. But it is quite different to sell food online because people like to see food with their own eyes. It is very important for people to buy fresh fruit and vegetables. Customers like to choose their food by its colour. They also want to touch and smell it. But some people like to go to the same shop to buy food, because they think the food there has a very good quality. So if the food is always good, they may also feel comfortable buying it online.Boxes of fruits and vegetables have been delivered(递送) to homes around Britain for a few years now. Dried or canned foods are almost always the same, but things like apples are not. People may want to choose their own apples so they can take the ones that aren't bruised(碰伤)or the ones that look nice. Buying dried and canned food online is easier. A person can buy this kind of food on the Internet and then buy fruits and vegetables at a store or a market.Now people can also buy food through supermarket websites. There people can find most of the things that supermarkets usually sell. Other food websites sell different types of food. Some sell food from one part of the world such as Asia. Others sell food that is hard to find in supermarkets. There are also websites that sell sweet foods such as cakes and candies.The food is usually delivered by the next day or even on the same day. People still need to be careful, though. They must check to see if the food is fresh when they get it. It is a good idea for people to find out how far away the food is being delivered from. It is also a problem if the company does not use refrigeration when they deliver food that should be kept cold. If traveling long distances in the summer to deliver the goods, this is important.48.When people buy food, they usually __________.A. choose the colourB. don't touch or smell itC. go to different shops each timeD. want to see with their own eyes49. It is not so easy to buy________ online.A. CDs or DVDsB. apples or bananasC. dried or canned foodsD. books or magazines50. If fresh fruit and vegetables _______, customers will buy them online.A. look niceB. have a very good qualityC. make people feel comfortableD. have been put into boxes51. When customers get the food they buy, it's important for them to________.A. pay for itB. use refrigerationC. check itD. cook it七、门头沟区2014~2015学年度初三一模CLast week, my granddaughter started kindergarten(幼儿园), and certainly I wished her success. I was saying something that is not true. What I actually wish for her is failure. I believe in the importance of failure.Success is boring. Success is proving that you can do something that you already know you can do, or do something correctly the first time, which can often be a problem for the future. First-time success is usually a fluke(侥幸). First-time failure, in fact, is the natural order of things.Failure means how we learn. I have been told of an African phrase(短语) describing a good cook as “she who has broken many bowls”. If you’ve spent enough time in the kitchen and have broken a lot of bowls, probably you know a lot about cooking. I once had a dinner with a group of cooks, and they spent time comparing knife wounds and burn scars. They knew how much their failures gave them.My younger daughter is a dancer. She spent three years getting ready for an act. She did it successfully for years. There was no reason for her to change the act—but she did anyway. She said she was no longer learning anything new and she was bored; and if she was bored, she couldn’t play well. So she changed the act. She risked failure in order to feed her heart.My granddaughter is a perfectionist. But I will also, I hope, remind her of what she learned, and how she can do whatever it is better next time. I probably won’t tell her that failure is a good thing, because that’s not a lesson you can learn when you’re five. I hope I can t ell her, though, that it’s not the end of the world. Indeed, with luck, it is the beginning.48. What did the writer really wish for her granddaughter in the kindergarten?A. Success.B. Failure.C. Kindness.D. Care.49. The third paragraph mainly tells us .A. what “a good cook” meansB. a cook should often cookC. a cook must break many bowlsD. failure means how we learn50. Why did the younger daughter change the act?A. Because she didn’t do well in it.B. Because she was asked to change it.C. Because she wanted to feed her heart.D. Because she wanted to try a failure.51. What does the writer hope to tell the granddaughter?A. Failure is a good thing.B. She can’t fail any more.C. Failure is not the end of the world.D. Success is the end of the world.八、平谷区2014-2015学年度初三一模CYou probably know you should say "please" and "thank you" at restaurants. You probably know the rules of a library. You know you should respect and be nice to your classmates. But do you have music manners?Keep It Down! You have to notice the volume of your music. You should not play your music so loud that everyone around you can hear it. Some people might even get angry. Usually, when you play the music loud on an MP3 player, other people can't hear the words of the song. They just hear a loud sound. No one wants to listen to this. Very loud music can also be bad for your ears. So even if you are alone when listening to our MP3 players, you shouldn't turn it up too high. Take Them Off! You need to know when to turn your MP3 off and put it away. Libraries, and schools don't allow MP3 players. There are other places, like museums, that don't have rules, but it would be rude to have your MP3 player on. Sometimes, it doesn't make sense to listen on your MP3 player at event. Why would you listen to music at a play, a movie or a sporting event? You would miss what is going on and others would wonder why you even came.Take One Out! Once in a while, it's okay just to take out one earphone and not other. Imagine you are listening on your MP3 player when someone asks you the way. It would not be rude to take out one earphone, tell him the way, and put back the earphone and continue listening. You can also do this when you order food at a fast-food restaurant or when you answer the telephone and it's not for you.It's Your Choice! There are times when you need to decide what is best. For example, some people can listen to music on their MP3 players when reading books, while others think it is disturbing. In cases like this, you need to do what seems right for you.49. We shouldn't turn up the music too high because loud music ______________..A．is not enjoyable B．hurts our ears C．is bad for MP3 players D．makes us uncomfortable50. If we listen to music at a sporting event, ___________.A. it’s impolite to othersB. we’ll miss part of the movieC. we won’t know what’s going onD. the players will be angry51 . We should turn our MP3 off and put it away when ___________ according to the passage.A. we read in a library B . someone asks us the wayC. we’re reading booksD. a waitor comes52. The writer wants us to ___________________ by writing the passage.A. be polite at restaurantsB. respect our classmates.C. follow the rules of librariesD. have music manners九、石景山区2015年初三英语一模试卷CSoap is more popular in liquid form than in bars in the UK – but there are good reasons to stick with the old traditional way of keeping clean, says GarethRubin.According to market research company Mintel, 87% ofBritons usually buy liquid soap, compared to only 13% who buy bars of it.solid soap is losing the popularity. But why do some people still prefer traditional solid soap?1. It’s what they’ve always known.Some people are just traditionalists. According to Mark Constantine, he thinks it’s always lovely when we’re using something that’s been about for 3,000 years. Solid soap has got a hugehistory and they’re very beautiful.2. Solid soap is more pleasant.Smelling a plastic bottle doesn’t feel very comfortable, while you can get bars of different textures and smells – some bars have sea salt, nuts, fruits or flowers in them for a bit of a surprise. Others come in beautiful or even funny shapes and sizes. You can tie attractive bars of soap up in silk ribbons (丝带) and present them as a gift to a loved one – the effect i sn’t quite the same when you do this with a liquid soap.3. Less packaging (包装) is better for the planet.All those bottles has to come from somewhere and go somewhere. Recycling can only do so much, whereas typically a bar of soap comes in a little paper wrapper and that’s it. If you care about the environment, you can even buy bars of soap without paper around them. “And about 60% of the cost of a bottle of soap goes on the packaging and the pump (泵头).” says Constantine.4. The bottles are a little bit difficult.You can hold a bar of soap in one hand and it works. With the bottles you first have to use both hands to unlock the pump, and shut your eyes to the liquid slowly dropping the sticky thing onto your bathroom floor. When the bar of soap runs down, you can still use it until it is no more, but with the liquid soap it is a difficult task to get the last drop out of the bottom.【】48. According to market research company Mintel, ______.A. solid soap is as popular as liquid soapB. more people refuse to buy liquid soapC. solid soap is becoming less popularD. solid soap is better for the planet 【】49. Compared to solid soap, liquid soap ______.A. has less packagingB. has a much longer historyC. is more pleasant in smellsD. has less funny shapes and sizes【】50. What can you infer from the passage?A. Liquid soap is not worth the price according to Constantine.B. A bottle of liquid soap cannot be a present for a friend.C. More people will buy solid soap without silk ribbons.D. It’s impossib le to use up the liquid soap in a bottle.【】51. What does the passage mainly talk about?A. People’s preference to soap is changing.B. Liquid soap is still liked by many Britons.C. The advantages and disadvantages of solid soap.D. The reasons why some people still prefer solid soap.十、顺义区2015届初三第一次统一练习CSome people say that today, reading is not as important as it was. These days we h ave photographs, films, radio and television. Why read a description of something when you can look at a photograph? Why read a newspaper when the latest news is brought to us every hour on radio and TV?Photography was certainly a wonderful invention. Pho tographs can give a very clear idea of places and of people that we have never seen. An encyclopedia (百科全书) , for example, is always better when it has good illustrations. But we also need words to explain the photographs and drawings. A photograph of an elephant may give us a very good idea of what an elephant looks like, but it tells us nothing about the different sorts of elephants there are and where they are found, their exact size and weight, how they can be useful to man and so on.In the same way, a good film has action, movement, color, and maybe music.These are things we do not find on the printed page. But reading a novel has certain advantages over watching even an excellent feature film. Reading a novel requires imagination. Each of us imagines a story differently.Watching news on television can certainly be exciting. But we need newspapers as well. Some important news stories happen when there are no cameras around. More importantly, a newspaper does not just report the news. It explains why something has been happening. It also contains interesting articles on different subjects. Newspapers are an important part of our lives, if we want to understand what is going on in the places we live as well as in other parts of the world.Reading is very important for information and pleasure. We need to be good readers to enjoy a full life as human beings. Reading is a skill and like other skills, it needs practice. The more we read, the better readers we become. And the better readers we become, the more we enjoy reading! The secret is to get the reading habit. Read at least a little every day.48.According to Paragraph 2, photographs can give us __________.A. enough information about people and placesB. no information about thingsC. some information about things but not enoughD. the wrong information about things49. Newspapers contain __________.A. more information than televisionB. less information than televisionC. more news from other countriesD. less information about important events than TV50. What are the advantages of novel over a feature film?A. There are more interesting subjects in novels.B. We do not hear any music in a novel.C. Novels always explain what is happening.D. Novels make us use our imagination.51. What does the author think about reading?A. It is a wonderful invention.B. It is an important part of our lives.C. It requires no practices.D. It is not as important as television.十一、丰台区2014-2015学年度中考一模CLooking for an original way to raise money for charity? Has your school run out of clever and fun ideas? Don’t give up.

2015年北京市英语中考模拟试题专项阅读理解D篇汇编含答案
一．北京市朝阳区2015中考一模D“T he world has never been a better place to live in” says science writer Matt Ridley, “and it will keep on getting better.”Read on to see how Ridley makes his case. Right or wrong You decide.Compared with 50 years ago, when I was just four years old, people now make nearly three times as much money, eat one third more food and expect to live one third longer. In fact, it’s hard to find any areas of the world that’s worse off now than it was then, even though the world population has more than doubled over that period.One reason we are richer, healthier, taller, cleverer, longer-lived and freer than ever before is that the four most basic human needs—food, clothing, fuel and shelter—have grown much cheaper. Take one example: In 1800, a candle providing one hour’s light cost six hours’ work. In the 1880s, the same light from a lamp took 15 minutes’work to pay for. In 1950, it was eight seconds. Today, it’s half a second. In these terms, we are 43,200 times better off than in1800.In the United St ates, rivers, lakes, seas and air are getting cleaner all the time. A car today produces less pollution traveling at full speed than a parked car did from leaks (泄漏) in 1970.Although the world population is growing, the rate (率) of increase has been falling for 50 years. Across the world, national birth rates are lower now than in 1960, and in the less developed world, the birth rate has almost halved. According to a research report from the United Nations, population will start falling once it reaches 9.2 billion in 2075. After all, there are already seven billion people on earth, and they are eating better and better.In 1970s, there were 550 billion barrels (桶) of oil reserves (储存) in the world, and in the 20 years that followed the world use d up 600 billion. So by 1990, reserves should have been overused by 50 billion barrels. Instead, it is reported there are 900 billion today. They will last for many years and people will find something in place of oil long before they run out.The more we develop, the more we can develop. The more we invent, the more inventions become possible. For 200 years, pessimists (people who believe that terrible things will happen in future) have had all the headlines—even though optimists have far more often been right. There are some reasons for pessimists. No charity (慈善机构) ever raised money by saying things are getting better. No journalist ever got the front page writing a story about how terrible things won’t happen. Don’t be a pessimist—dare to be an optimist!52.

People who can always tell good things from bad ones.C. People who have hopeful and happy feelings about life.D. People who don’t easily believe what they’re told about.55. Which of the following can be the best title for the passageA. N ever Give UpB. Cheer UpC. Don’t Be SadD. Think Out（D）52. D 53. D 54. C 55. B二． 2015年顺义区初三第一次模拟练习DLanguages keeps evolving（进化、发展）, and English is no exception. It is a language that embraces(欣然接受)new words that may be cool today but gone tomorrow.There are, however, some words and phrases that have stood the test of time. OK, which hasbecome the international standard for expressing agreement, is a good example.But why is this rather odd(奇怪的)expression so popular and so useful when we could use any number of other words to say the same thingWriting in The Times, Allen Metcalf, author of OK: The Improbable Story of America’s Greatest Word, writes: “What OK provided that the others did not was neutrality(中性), a way to express agreement without having to offer an opinion.”For example, if someone asks you “Shall we go for a walk after lunch” you can simply respond “OK”. There you go – no extra opinions. Just straight, plain old OK.So just where did this rather curious expression come from The origins of OK have been widely disputed (辩论，争论). Some people have guessed that OK was the name of a person or a product.Speakers of many different language s have had their say on this question, keen to claim theterm as their own.Writing an article for London’s Metro newspaper, Metcalf states: ‘O and K are present in every language of the world, as expressions that can be abbreviated(缩写) OK.” For example: French –“O qu-oui”, “yes indeed”; German –“Ohne Korrektur”, “ without correction needed”; and in Latin or Greek, “Olla kalla”, “all good”.But, does it sound a little too informal with this popular little Array expressionApparently not.In a speech wh ere he stated that his election (当选) would not be aradical (激进的) result to all problems, President Obama said: “… eventhough I am president…, AI-Qaida is still a threat(威胁) and that wecannot pretend somehow that because Barack Hussein Obama got elected as president, suddenly everything’s going to be OK,” he said.So, there you go, straight from the president. It’s OK to say OK, and thanks to the expression’s widespread usage across the world, you can be understood anywhere.58. Using the example of Obama, the author wants to show that________.A. there is still a long way to go to defeat Al-QaidaB. Obama likes to use OK when he speaksC. OK is widely used even on formal occasionsD. the use of OK is encouraged informal speech59. According to Allen Metcalf, OK differs from other terms to express agreement, which ofthe following opinions is trueA. It is easiest way to say.B. It doesn’t need emotion.C. It is the most commonly used.D. It doesn’t use in the formal speech.60. What is the best title for the passageA．Why OK is OK everywhere B．It’s OK to say OK in the world.C．Where did OK come from D．Everything is going to be OK.8．C 59．B 60．A三．北京市燕山2015年中考一模DNo one else knew about the extra (额外的) club in Zach Nash's golf bag. It belonged to a friend, and Zach forgot it was there as he played his way to win in ajunior tournament (锦标赛) this summer in Wisconsin, US.wrong. "Count your clubs," he told the teena ger.medalFifteen—one more than allowed. Zach's eyes filled with tears.If Zach had just won a basketball or a soccer game and someone had discovered an offence (违反) after the win, it would not have mattered.Bending the rules has become acceptable, if not encouraged, in many sports. It is nothing unusual for soccer players to make a turtle dive (假摔) in the hope of breaking rules.Golf is different. In a win at all costs world, the game holds itself to a higher standard.Golf isn't a game where referees (裁判) watch closely. In golf tournaments, dozens of competitors are spread across acres of land, so officials cannot hope to see each shot. Competitors call punishments on themselves.Players feel the weight of history. Golf began at least the 15th century, but it became popular as a pastime for the wealthy who seemed to always have strict rules of behavior, even when it came to shooting at each other in rights."It was a sport for gentlemen, not laborers, and gentlemen did not care about winning. They cared about doing the right thing," said Robert Simon, a golf coach at Hamilton College in New York.Honesty became a symbol of honor. When one of the game's early stars, Bobby Jones, was praised for calling a penalty on himself at the 1925 US Open. He replied, "You might as well praise a man for not robbing a bank."So even the error had no effect on Zach's final score—he never used the extra club, the teenager packed up his medal and dropped it in the mail. "But this was golf, and rules are rules. I just knew what I had to do," he said.Then came another tournament. Before teeing off, Zach counted his clubs four times.52.Zach Nash returned the medal he won in the junior tournament because________.A．he was caught cheating by a playerB．he decided to follow the rules of golfC．he used another player's club by mistakeD．he made a mistake counting his final score53. Which of the following statements about golf is TRUE according to the passageA．In golf, honor comes before win.B．Early golf players didn't care about the rules.C．Golf players usually do whatever it takes to win.D．Golf referees watch each shot and call punishments.54. The underlined phrase "teeing off" in the last paragraph probably means "____ ".A．getting started B．getting caught C．leaving D．winning 55. What is probably the best title of the passageA．Zach's medal. B．The history of golf.C．Honesty counts in golf. D．Golf is rich men's game. 52—55 BAAC四．东城区2015届中考一模DIt is an argument that has div ided the East and the West for centuries: Are chopsticks better than the knife and fork, or vice versa Now the winner may finally be decided, on environmental ground.Chopsticks are made from a variety of materials, but bamboo and wood chopsticksare more popular. They are usually cheaper, lower in temperature conduction and provide better sense for holding food. That’s why almost all disposable (一次性的) chopsticks are made of bamboo or wood. With cutting down 25 million fully-grown trees a year to make chopsticks, China has ranked number one among the producers. “We must change our habitsand encourag e people to take their own chopsticks when eating out,” said Mr. Bo, the owner of a forestry industry company in China. He even wentso faras to suggest that restaurants should offer metal knives and forks instead. If Mr. Bo’s suggestion is widely accepted, it would be a dark moment in chopsticks’ 4,000-year history.Chopsticks were invented in ancient China and later spread around Asia. They are not only used as eating tools but also used for cooking, stirring the fire and serving food. Koreans sometimes use metal chopsticks because of their love of barbecue (烧烤). Chinese chopsticks are longer than Korean and Japanese chopsticks in order to reach the dishes in the center of the table. There are 1.4 billion people using 80 billion pairs of disposable chopsticks in China every year. However, the most widespread use of disposable chopsticks is in Japan. Around a total of 24 billion pairs are used in Japan each year, which means each Japanese uses almost 200 pairs yearly. However, most of its disposable chopsticks have been imported (进口) from China, up to over90%.Today, China has to accept the truth that its forests can no longer provide enough chopsticks to feed Asian’s table habit. China is now the world’s largest importer of wood and even imports chopsticks from America. An American company said that the state’s native swee t gum and poplar wood would be perfectly used to make chopsticks. These materials do not need to be lightened with chemicals or bleach (漂白粉). The healthy materials and fairly reasonable prices of the products are appealingto Asian customers. More and more Asians start to use American-made chopsticks at their tables.Although the U.S. has a huge amount of wood, which reduces the number of trees that are cut down in Asia, changing the table habit of using disposable chopsticks still seems to be a wiser choice for chopsticks-using countries.52. According to Paragraph 2, Mr. Bo’s advice is that Chinese should ____________.A. use metal chopsticks instead of wooden onesB. plant more trees and produce fewer chopsticksC. form the habit of taking t heir own chopsticks when eating outD. change their habits and begin to use knives and forks a t home53. What do we know about chopsticks in AsiaA. Koreans mainly use chopsticks to cook food over a fire.B. Most disposable chopsticks in Japan are made in China.C. The most disposable chopsticks are used in Japan yearly.D. Chinese use the shortest chopsticks to take and serve food.54. The underlined word “appealing” in Paragraph 4 probably means ______A. normalB. necessaryC. attractiveD. surprising55. What’s the best title for the passageA. Time to Change the Materials for ChopsticksB. Time to Cut Down on Disposable ChopsticksC. Time to Import Disposable ChopsticksD. Time to Give UpUsing Chopsticks52-55 CＢＣＢ五．房山区2015年中考一模DHave you wondered why you have two eyes and why they are set close together on the front of your face The reasons are simple and important.Your eyes are like two small cameras. A camera catches an image（影像）of an object and records it on film. Similarly, when you look at something, each eye takes inwhat it sees and sends this image to the back of the eyeball. Because your eyes are set close together, they see the world from about the same height but from a little different angles(角度). While your right eye sees an object a little to the right, your left eye se es the same object a bit to the left.Working as a team, the eyes send the images to your brain, then your brain puts them together and you see a single image in the centre.Seeing in stereo means seeing with two eyes working together, which is called stereoscopic sight. This allows you to see the world in 3-D. Seeing depth（深度）helps you to judge how far it is between you and the objects you see, and then adjust （调整)to the changing angle so that you can see something clearly when you move closer or farther away. If images are coming from only one eye, however, height and width（宽度）—can be perceived.So if you see with one eye, you will geta2-D image, as in a photograph.Now consider why your two eyes are on the front of your face. Think of other animals just like you. They are all hunting（猎杀）animals, like lions and tigers. This provides a field of sight about 180 degree wide, which is called binocular sight. On the other hand, anim als that are hunted have eyes on the sides of the head, which provides nearly 360-degree field of sight. However, they don’t have stereoscopicsight. It is difficult for them to judge how far a danger is.With both stereoscopic and binocularsight, humansand hunting animals share the ability to see from side to side and tojudge how far it is from other objects. If you think it would be great to have another kind of sight, perhaps with hundreds of tiny eyes like many insects(昆虫) do, think again! Each tiny insect eye sees only a tiny part. Besides, what if you needed glasses Be glad for the eyesight that you have.52. In Paragraph 2, the writer wants to __________.A. tell us how our two eyes workB. show the importance of eyesC. compareour eyes with camerasD. suggest using two eyes properly53.The underlined word “perceived” in Paragraph 3means________.A. setB. takenC. seenD. made54. In the last paragraph, the writerthinks that “seeing in stereo” ______.A. is similar to the way a cameraworksB. is an ability humans are lucky to haveC. would be better for a wider field of sightD. helps people to have better sight than animals55. What is probably the best title for this passageA. Seeing in StereoB. Protecting your eyesC. Treasuring your eyesD. Seeing with eyes答案：52. A 53.C 54. B 55. A六．海淀区2015中考英语一模D“You expect your friends to see you in a positive manner, but they also are observers of the personalities that could cause you an early death,” said Joshua Jackson, an assistant professor of psychology in Arts & Sciences.Published in the journal Psychological Science, the study shows that your personality at an early age can predict how long you will live across 75 years and that close friends are usually better than you at recognizing these traits. “Our study s hows that people are able to observe and evaluate（评价）a friend’s personality exactly enough to predict early death years down the road,” Jackson said. “It suggests that people are able to see important characteristics related to health even when their frien ds were, for the most part, healthy and many years from death.”While other studies have shown that a person’s view of his or her own personality can be helpful in evaluating death risks, there has been little research on whether a close friend’s personali ty evaluation might also predict the chances of a long life.To explore this question, Jackson and colleagues analyzed data（数据）from a longitudinal study that in the 1930s began following a group of young people in their mid-20s. The study included wide-ranging data on participant（参与者）personalities, both self-reported and as reported by close friends.Using information from follow-up studies and searches of death certificates（证书）, Jackson and colleagues were able to record dates of death for all but a few study participants. Peer（同龄人）evaluations of personality were stronger predictors of death risks than were self-evaluations of personality.“There are two possible reasons for the advantage of peer evaluations over self- evaluations,” Jackson said. “First, fr iends may see something that you miss; they may have some insight that you do not. Second, because people have several friends, we are able to average the characteristics of any one friend to get a more trustworthy evaluation of personality. With self-reports, people may miss certain sides of themselves and we are not able to counteract（抵抗）that because there is only one you, only one self-report.”The study also shows some gender differences in self-evaluation: Men’s self-evaluations of personality were somewhat useful in predicting their lifespans（寿命）, whereas the self-reports of women had little predictive value.“This is one of the longe st studies in psychology,” Jackson said. “It shows how important personality is in influencing important life outcomes like health, and that information from friends can play a critical role in understanding a person’s health issues.52. What can we learn from Paragraph 2A. People’s hea lth is related to their friends.B. Friends can predict lifespans better than us.C. An early personality evaluation helps us live longer.D. The study shows most people can live across 75 years.53. The underlined word “insight” in Paragraph 6 probably means “_______”.A. adviceB. influenceC. imaginationD.understanding54. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passageA. People with more close friends have better personalities.B. Self-evaluations have advantages over peer evaluations.C. Men predict their lifespans more exactly than women.D. The findings are based on participants’ disease data.55. What can we infer from the last paragraphA. Friends’ personality evaluations can help recognize health risks.B. Best friends play an important role in treating certain diseases.C. Psychology studies may influence personality development.D. Personality has little important effect on people’s health.答案：52. B 53. D 54. C 55. A七：怀柔区 2015年中考一模DMost of us say that God, or destiny or whatever superior force that may exist in this universe （宇宙）is what makes us our future and guides us throughout our existence.I don’t claim there isn’t such a force that can guide us and take care of us, but the main element(要素) that helps us build up our future is our way of being. Our personality, our character, our way of perceiving（感知）reality and everything that surrounds us are what may bring us to the top, or opposite it, make us miserable.It’s simply your own choice if you don’t want to study, go to college or have a career. It really doesn’t matter if your parents threaten you, punish you or scold（责骂）you all the time. If you stick to be yourself and you think you know it all, then these are useless.You are the one who decides what job to have, in which city or country to live. It’s your choice and your responsibility. The moment you get hurt or something goes wrong, you blame yourself, and you start everything from the very beginning.You con sider that you can’t find your place in your own country, so you risk the comfortable but modest（谦虚的）life you have with your parents and you go abroad. Maybe there will be moments when you can’t stand any more the loneliness, the strangers around you, or your job. But remember that nobody made you take that decision, so you have to take a deep breath, and then go on, as it’s very difficult to find a guilty person when you know it well that you are the only one to be blamed.If you fall in love with a man from the very first moment you set your eyes on him and you don’t want to meet somebody else, to see how they are, it’s your wish. If you get married and the marriage ends in a year’s time, you can’t blame the rest as they all have told you to be careful and never to take hasty （轻率的）decisions.You play the Lottery each day and there are two choices: each you hit the jack pot and your life changes totally or you lose and you have to restart it from the very beginning. It’s known that if you don’t risk,you can’t win. So the best solution is always to think over your decisions, and to see what they can represent in your future. Only afterwords is proper for you to make up your mind.You are the only architect（建筑师）of your future. The best are only workerswho help you create your own dream.52. All the following build up our way of being EXCEPT __________.A. our characterB. our existenceC. our personalityD. our way of perceiving reality53. The underlined word “miserable”in Paragraph 2 can be replaced by “________”A. unhappyB. lonelyC. positiveD. careful54. Which of the following is NOT right according to the writer’s opinionA. You meet difficulties when you go abroad, but you should take a deep breath and go on.B. You must think it over before you make a decision for yourself.C. You get hurt after you choose to live in another city, but you blame your parents.D. You cannot make too fast decision before you marry a person.55. What is the best title for the passageA. Character Influences LifeB. A Good Beginning is Half DoneC. Stick to What is Right for UsD. Every Man Is the Architect of His Future答案：52-55 BACD八．门头沟区2014~2015学年度初三一模DDo American children still learn handwriting in Array school In the age of the keyboard, some people seemto think handwriting lessons are on the way out. 90%of teachers say they are required to teach handwriting.But studies have yet to answer the question of howwell they are teaching it. One of this year’s studiesfound that about three out of every four teachers saythey are not prepared to teach handwriting. Someteachers are teaching handwriting by providing instruction for 10 to 15 minutes a day, and then other teachers who basically teach it for 60 to 70 minutes a day — which really for handwriting is pretty much.Many adults remember learning that way —by copying letters over and over again. Today’s thinking is that short periods of practice are better. Many experts(专家) also think handwriting should not be taught by itself. Instead, they say it should be used as a way to get students to express ideas. After all, that is why we write.Handwriting involves two skills. One is legibility, which means forming the letters so they can be read. The other is fluency(流畅) — writing without having to think about it. Fluency continues to develop up until high school.But not everyone masters these s kills. Teachers commonly report that about onefourth of their kids have poor handwriting. Some people might think handwriting isnot important any more because of computers and voice recognition programs.But Steve Graham at Vanderbilt says word processing is seldom done in primary school, especially in the early years. American children traditionally first learn to print, and then to write in cursive, which connects the letters. But guess what we learned from a spokeswoman for the College Board(大学委员会). More than 75 percent of students choose to print their essay(article) on the test rather than write in cursive.52. From Paragraph 1 we can learn .A. teaching handwriting is a basic requirement in the teaching jobB. most teachers prefer to teach handwritingC. teachers spend little time in teaching handwritingD. a keyboard has taken the place of the handwriting53. Which of the following is WRONG for traditional handwriting in the USAA. Handwriting includes two skills.B. To write in cursive is taught first.C. The letters are repeated many times.D. The students are taught by practicing a long period.54. The underlined word “legibility” in Paragraph 3 means .A. easy to readB. easy to writeC. unexpectedD. unreadable55. The best title for the passage is .A. How to Improve Handwriting in SchoolB. Right or Wrong: the Death of HandwritingC. Handwriting Involves Two SkillsD. Handwriting Lessons Are on the Way Out答案：52. A 53. B 54. A 55. B九．平谷区2014-2015学年度初三统练（一）DTo stop the childhood obesity epidemic(流行), health experts have long strongly advised parents to make healthy changes to their family's lifestyle—such as eating healthily, reducing TV time, exercising and getting a good night's sleep.These behaviors have been linked to a lower risk of obesity in kids, but researchers at Ohio State University were interested in learning whether their effect might be cumulative—that is, whether families who adopted(采用) not just one but two or more of these behaviors could reduce their children's risk of obesity even further.Led by Sarah Anderson, researchers studied data on 8,550 children in a national study, and found that indeed children who practiced two healthy lifestyle behaviors were slimmer than those who adopted only one behavior, while youngsters who implemented three beneficial habits were theleast likely to be overweight."If children had all three practices, their risk(风险) of obesity was 40% lower than children whohad none of the routines(常规)." Anderson says.The three behaviors that Anderson studied were eating dinner regularly with the family, limitingthe amount of time in front of the TV, and getting enough sleep. The children who were leastlikely to be too fat ate dinner with their families six or seven times a week, slept for at least 10.5 hours each night and watched less than two hours of television per day.The findings suggest that adopting these routines can be a powerful way for families to encourage healthy weight in their children, Anderson says.In addition, says Dr. David Ludwig, director of the Optimal Weight for Life Program, the routines are relatively easy for most families to adopt. "This is a beautifully simple study. It makes a very important point, and one that needs to be noticed time and again. These are all behaviors that are within the reach of us all."53. What does the underlined word "implemented" in Paragraph 3 probably meansA．Chose B．Supported C．Practiced D．Broke54. What can you infer from the passageA. Anderson studied more behaviors than three.B. Dr. David Ludwig agreed for Sarah Anderson.C. It’s not easy for us all to adopt all behaviors.D. The more practices children had, the lower risk of obesity there was.55. Which might be the best title for the passageA．Three Habits Help Kids Be Slimmer B．How to Lead a Good LifestyleC．It Is Not Easy to Be Slim D．How to Keep Kids off TV答案：53-55 C BA十．石景山区2015年初三英语一模试卷DWhen you meet someone for the first time, you will get a general idea in your mind of that person in the first moment. Your feelings about other people, however, are really just show the way that you look at yourself. Your reactions to others say more about you than they do about others. You cannot really love or hate about yourself. We are usually drawn to those who are most like us and may dislike those who have the same characters as ourselves that we dislike.Therefore, you can allow others to be the mirror to see more clearly your own feelings of self-worth. And, you can view the people you judge negatively (否定地) as mirrors to show you what you are not accepting about yourself.To live peacefully with others, you will need to learn patience. A big challenge is to let your judgment of others be a lifelong research of yourself. Your task is to consider all the decisions and judgments you make onto others carefully and to begin to see whether you can use them to help yourself and become whole.Several days ago I had a business lunch with a man who showed objectionable table manners. My first feeling was to judge him as rude. When I noticed that I was judging him, I stopped and asked myself what I was feeling. I discovered that I was nervous to be seen with someone who was eating with his mouth open and loudly blowing his nose. I was very surprised to find how much I cared about how the other people in the restaurant judged me.Remember that your judgment of someone will not serve as some kind of protective thing against you becoming like him. Just because I judge my lunch partner as rude, it does not prevent me from ever looking or acting like him. In the same way, my patience to him would not cause me to suddenly begin eating my food with my mouth open.When you get close to life in this manner, those with whom you hate very much as well as those whom you admire and love can be seen as mirrors, guiding you to discover parts of yourself that you dislike and to embrace your greatest characters you are proud of.【】52. In the writer’s opinion, when we judge others, we are really ______.A. treating them in a polite wayB. showing what we ourselves areC. guiding ourselves to know themD. telling them what they should do 【】53. Why did the writer feel bad when he was with his lunch partnerA. Because he was afraid he himself might get the bad habits.。

2015中考英语阅读理解预测及答案
2015中考英语阅读理解预测及答案（11）：往事回忆Think back to a time in your life when you tried something new.When I was a teenager I volunteered to pass out water at a local race. I was so excited to see all the different runners who passed by and quickly took a cup of water. Some ran past, some walked past and a few wheeled past.I saw so many types of people doing it. I thought maybe I could do it too! The next year I decided to run for the race, but I had little running practice. I just wanted to finish.On the day of the race, it was terribly hot. After running for about 5 miles. I was thinking, “I must be crazy. Why did I do this? What was I thinking?” And at one moment, I said to myself, “I am never doing this again!”That first 10 km race was quite an experience. I j ogged(慢跑),I walked, I jogged and walked. At times, I didn’t know if I could finish.Near the end, a 70-year-old man ran past me, very fast, and I felt a little embarrassed(尴尬的)that I was more than 50 years younger than he and I couldn’t even keep up with hi m. But then I realized something. He was running his race and I was running mine. How often in life do we compare(比较)ourselves to others when we really shouldn’t? I decided that I would not give up on running races, and that one day I would be one of those 70-year-old men who were still running.As I crossed the finishing line, I was proud of myself. I didn’t regret(后悔)having such an experience.1. What did the writer do at a local race as a volunteer?A. He helped old runners.B. He cheered up the runners.C. He passed out water to the runners.D. He took back the cups from the runners.2. Why did the writer join the race?A. He just wanted to experience.B. He was crazy about running.C. He had practiced running very hard.D.
