They like to run in hot weather and enjoy the feeling of being wet through with sweat while running. Cold weather during winter months, with low temperatures and freezing cold winds, may keep many people from running in the open air .However, a new study shows that the drop in temperature is a good reason to run. In fact, running in cold weather helps improve one's performance. Many runners might find it easier to run in winter than in hot weather.Lower temperatures reduce stress on the body. When you run in cold weather, your heart rate is lower .And the body needs less water on a cold day than inwarm weather because dehydration levels are lower in winter than in warmer conditions . John Brewer is a professor of applied sports science at ST. Mary's University in London. For this study, he and other researchers put a group of people into a room where summer and winter weather conditions are recreated. The test subjects, were asked to run 10,000 meters under both conditions and their biological measurements were recorded and studied.From the study, every movement runners make produces heat .The heat can be really damaging unless the body can lose it .One way in which people lose heat is by sweating. The body loses heat through droplets of sweet. The body also loses it by transporting the blood to the surface of the skin and it puts more stress on the heart, particularly in hot conditions because it's much harder to lose heat when theoutside environment is warm. As the result shows running in hot temperatures results in 6 percent higher heart rates.When running in cold conditions, the body does not have to work hard to pump blood to the skin surface .Therefore, it requires less energy.The most important things for people who run in cold conditions is to wear the right clothing. Keep as dry as possible when exercising in low temperatures. Wear mittens on your hands instead of gloves. Wear more than one layer of clothing to keep sweat away from your skin.So don't let winter weather keep you indoors. Simply get ready for the low temperatures and start running.(1)、Why do most people dislike running outdoors in winter ?A、It's too cold.B、It's hard to run.C、It's too easy to sweat .D、It's bad for the heart rate .(2)、What does the underline word dehydration in Paragraph 3 means the loss of ______from the body.A、waterB、heatC、stressD、blood(3)、Why did John Brewer make a group of people run in a room?A、It was easier to be reduce stress.B、It was easier to produce heat.C、It was easier to re create different weather conditions.D、It was easier to record their biological measurements.(4)、What should people wear while running in cold winter?A、A hat .B、Gloves.C、More clothing.D、More than one layer of clothing(5)、What's the purpose of the passage ?A、To tell people not to run in summer .B、To describe how runners run in winter .C、To encourage people to run outdoors in winter.D、To compare the advantages of running in winter and in summer.+5.阅读理解Although people everywhere seem to enjoy drinking coffee，they don't all have the same coffee culture. In Europe for example, coffee shops are common places for people to meet friends while they drink coffee. On the other hand, places like this were not as common in North America in the past. Instead, people in North America liked to drink coffee in their homes with friends. The coffee culture inthe USA changed, when Starbucks (星巴克) coffee shops spread throughout the country．The first Starbucks coffee shop opened in 1971 in downtown Seattle, Washington，in the USA. It was a small coffee shop that cooked its own coffee beans. The coffee shop's business did well, and by 1981 there were three Starbucks stores in Seattle.Things really began to change for the company in 1981. That year, Howard Schultz met the three men who ran Starbucks. Schultz worked in New York for a company that made kitchen equipment (设备) . He noticed that Starbucks ordered a large number of special coffee makers, which caused his great interest. Schultz went to Seattle to see what Starbucks did. In 1982, the original Starbucks owners hired Schultz as the company's head of marketing (市场营销).In 1983, Schultz traveled to Italy. The special environment of the espresso(浓咖啡) bars there caught his eyes. Back in the USA, Schultz created an environment for Starbucks coffee shops that was comfortable and casual, and customers everywhere seemed to like it. Starbucks began opening more stores in the USA. Then the company opened coffee shops in other countries as well. Today, there are more than 16,000 Starbucks coffee shops all over the world. However，that does not mean Starbucks has not had problems. In fact, many Starbucks stores have closed over the past few years. On the one hand, this is because there were too many coffee shops competing (竞争) for business in one small area. On the other hand, stores in some countries closed because the coffee culture there did not match with the comfortable environment offered by Starbucks..(1)、The underlined word "ran" in Paragraph 3 probably meansA、closedB、managedC、madeD、sold(2)、According to the passage, which is the right order for the following sentences？a.This man helped to make Starbucks a huge coffee company.b.Starbucks began as a small coffee company in Seattle in the USA.c.He went to Seattle to learn about the company and later worked for it.d.Howard Schultz found Starbucks ordered lots of special coffee makers.A、a﹣b﹣d﹣cB、c﹣a﹣b﹣dC、b﹣d﹣c﹣a D、d﹣c﹣a﹣b(3)、Why did so many Starbucks close in small areas？A、Because the coffee in these places was too expensiveB、Because the style of the coffee stores seems the same．C、Because people like to drink coffee at home with friendsD、Because there were too many coffee shops in one place．(4)、To tell us the story of Starbucks, the writer did the following except .A、introducing how Starbucks became successfulB、showing what Schultz did to help Starbucks become successfulC、telling what difficulties Starbucks facesD、telling what Starbucks did to deal with his problems(5)、What's the best title for the passage？A、The History of StarbucksB、The Culture of StarbucksC、The Popularity of StarbucksD、The environment of Starbucks+6.阅读理解Welcome to Blue Sky Hotel and we will do all we can to make your stay an enjoyable one.

B. It seemed to match his character.C. It was forced on him by his parents.D. It developed slowly over many months.29. Why did the father have doubts about Lin's choice of cooking?A. Lin wasn't good at cooking.B. Cooking wasn't very convenient.C. He didn’t think Lin would continue.D. Cooking wasn't a good hobby for a boy.30. What's the best title for the passage?A. A Strict FatherB. A Changeable BoyC. The Fun of CookingD. The Birthday Gift（B）Experts believe that there are more than 8 million restaurants in the world today. So it might surprise you to learn that restaurants, as we know them, have only existed for a few centuries. Before 1765, there were 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.

What many people don't know is that junk(垃圾)has become a problem in outer space too.According to BBC News, there are more than 22, 000 pieces of space junk floating around the earth. And these are just the things that we can see from the surface of the earth by telescopes (望远镜). There are also millions of smaller pieces of junk that we can't see.Objects, like bits of old space rockets or satellites, move around the planet at very high speeds fast that even a very small piece can break important satellites or become dangerous to astronauts. If the tiniest piece of junk crashed into a spaceship, it could damage the vehicle.To make things worse, when two objects in space crash, they break into many smaller pieces. For example, when a U.S. satellite hit an old Russian rocket in 2009, it broke into more than 2,000 pieces, increasing the amount of space junk.To reduce additional space junk, countries have agreed that all new space tools can only stay in space for 25 years at most. Each tool must be built to fall safely into the earth's atmosphere after that time. In the upper parts of the atmosphere, it will burn up.Many scientists also suggesting different ways to clean up space junk. In England scientists are testing a metal net that can be fired into space junk. The net catches the junk and then pulls it into the earth's atmosphere to burn up. The Germans are building robots that can collect pieces of space junk and bring them back to Earth to be safely destroyed.The problem is becoming more challenging because we're sending more objects into space to help people use their mobile phones and computers,” says Marco Castronuovo, an Italian space Researcher.“The time to act is now. The longer we leave the problem, the bigger it will become,” he says.36. What does the underlined word “these” in Paragraph 2 refer to?A. Telescopes.一、语法选择1-5 BCCAD 6-10 BDCAD 11-15 BDBAC二、完形填空16-20 CADBA 21-25 DCABC三、阅读理解26-30 ACBCD 31-35 ADBDC 36-40 CDBBA41-45 BCDDA 46-50 BAECD51. window52. share53. diet54.

广东省广州市2018年中考模拟英语试题(二)及参考答案
广东省广州市2018年中考模拟英语试题(二)一、完形填空1. 完形填空Today,it is a big problem for young graduates to get satisfying jobs.1that there are thousands of different kinds of jobs i n the world. Choosing the right one itself is not easy.“Finding a job" is not 2 as “choosing a job”. Many young people end up in a job because they are not 3 for it. Sometimes "chance" may 4 a more important part than “decision".Here are a few steps to help you think about jobs 5 you might enjoy doing after school or university. First,it is important 6what kind of person you are,which special qualities7 you outstanding among people and what you are interested in. There is a difference8 an interest and a skill. If you like9 and enjoy looking at pictures,that is an interest. But if you can10a horse that lo oks like a horse not a big dog,that is a11.Then ask yourself a question,"In the following three areas -- skills with people,skills with information and skills with thing s,which are your12skill?"After 13 your skills,the next step is research. To 14 as many different kinds of jobs as possible,go to the library and read books,magazines and newspapers for information. Ask your friends 15 the work they do.Finally,trust your own ideas and your own thinking! It is your own life,just find the job you really enjoy doing.2. 完形填空One early morning,an old gardener found lots of his flowers were missing. He was so1that he shouted,“Who did this?” He w anted to protect (保护) his flowers,2 he locked (锁上) the garden in the evening.The next morning,he found some of his flowers missing again. So he 3 to find out what had happened. When night came,he sat 4 to watch his garden. Soon he saw a tortoise (陆龟) moving slowly into the garden. The tortoise opened its mouth and at e a whole 5.The gardener ran to the tortoise and shouted,“I 6 you this time!”“I'm sorry. If you want to punish (惩罚) me,please do not 7 m e into water. It is 8to die that way,” said the tortoise.“You ate so many of my beautiful flowers. I must punish you!” said the old gardener. And he quickly threw the tortoise into a 9 next to his garden. After some time,the tortoise swam away10. Then the o ld gardener realized it was so silly to throw the tortoise into the lake because the tortoise was not afraid of water.二、阅读理解3. 阅读理解As young students,you have many dreams. These dreams can be very big,such as winning the Nobel Prize;they can also b e small,such as becoming one of the best students in your class.Once you find a dream,what do you do with it ? Do you ever t ry to make your dream real?Andrew Matthews,an Australian writer,tells us that making your dreams real is life's biggest challenge. You may think you're not very good at some school subjects,or that it's impossible for you to become a writer. Those kinds of ideas stop you from r ealizing your dream. In fact,everyone can realize his dream. The first thing you must do is to remember what your dream is. D on't let it leave your heart. Keep telling yourself what you want every day and then your dream will come true faster. You should know that a big dream is,in fact,made up of many small dreams.You must also never give up your dream. There will be difficulties on the road to your dreams. But the biggest difficulty com es from yourself. You need to decide what is the most important. Studying instead of watching TV will help you to get better e xam results,while saving five yuan instead of buying an ice cream means you can buy a new book.As you get closer to your dream,it may change a little. This is good as you have the chance to learn something more useful and find new hobbies.（1） If we have dreams in our hearts and work hard,our dreams _______.（2） Which is not right when you want to make your dream come true faster?（3） To make your dream real,the first thing you must do is _______.（4） Which of the following isn't mentioned in this passage?（5） The best title of this passage is _______.4. 阅读理解No one can change the weather. Nobody can control the weather. But if we read correctly the signs around us,we can t ell what the more important changes in the weather will be. This way of telling what the weather will be like on the following da y or two is called weather forecasting.For many centuries and in all countries,people have studied the weather and tried to make weather forecasting. Rings around the sun are a sign of coming rain. Many people feel their joints(关节) hurt in their bones if wet weather is coming. Som e birds fly high if fine weather is coming,but they fly near the ground if rainy or stormy weather is on the way. It is probably bec ause of the insects (昆虫) which they are hunting that they fly low. If you see a rainbow (彩虹) during rainy weather,this is a sig n that the weather will become clear and fine. Such rainbows come in the evening. If the stars twinkle clearly at night,then fine weather will continue. If a fog appears in the morning just above a river,then the day will be warm. If the sunset is mostly red in color,then the following day will be fine. If a rainbow appears in the morning,rainy weather will probably come. Most of the abo ve sayings have been made by the people who have used their eyes and brains to make weather forecasting.（1） Which is true about weather forecasting?（2） According to the passage,people's joints ache ________.（3） The birds fly high and the stars twinkle clearly is a sign that the weather will________.（4） A rainbow is a ________ of the weather.（5） We must ________ to make weather forecasting.5. 阅读理解Everyone has got two personalities (性格)—the one that is shown to the world and the other that is secret and real. You don't show your secret personality when you're awake because you can control yourself,but when you're asleep,your sleeping position shows the real you. In a normal night,of course,you often change your sleeping positions. The important position that best shows your secret personality is the one that you go to sleep.If you go to sleep on your back,you're a very open person. You normally trust people and you are easily influenced by ne w ideas. You don't like to make people unhappy,so you never express your real feelings. You're quite shy and you aren't very confident.If you sleep on your stomach,you are a person who likes to keep secrets. You worry a lot and you're always easily beco ming sad. You never want to change your ideas,but you are satisfied with your life the way it is. You usually live for today not fo r tomorrow.If you sleep on curled up (蜷缩) ,you are probably a very nervous person. You have a low opinion of yourself and often p rotect yourself from being hurt,so you are very defensive. You're shy and you don't usually like meeting people. You like to be on your own.If you sleep on your side,you have usually got a well-balanced (平衡的) personality. You know your strengths and weakn esses. You're usually careful. You have a confident personality. You sometimes feel worried,but you don't often get unhappy. Y ou always say what you think,even if it makes people angry.（1） You may find the passage in __________.（2） When does the sleeping position best show your secret personality?（3） Tina hardly tells her secrets to her friends. She probably goes to sleep __________.（4） What does the word “defensive" mean in the passage?（5） What does the passage tell us?6. 阅读理解In 1901,H. G. Wells,an English writer,wrote a book describing a trip to the moon. When the explorers (探险者) landed o n the moon,they discovered that the moon was full of underground cities. They expressed their surprise to the "moon people" they met. In mm,the "moon people" expressed their surprise. "Why are you travelling to outer space when you don't even use your inner space?" they asked.H. G. Wells could only imagine the travel to the moon. In 1969,human beings really did land on the moon. People today know that there are no underground cities on the moon. However,the question that the "moon people" asked is still an interest ing one. A growing number of scientists are seriously thinking about it.Underground systems (体系) are already in place. Many cities have underground car parks. In some cities,such as Tok yo,Seoul and Montreal,there are large underground shopping areas. The "Chunnel",a tunnel connecting England and France,i s now completed.But what about underground cities? Japan's Taisei Corporation is designing a network of underground systems,called "Alice Cities". The designers imagine using surface space for public parks and using underground space for flats,offices,sho pping and so on. A solar dome (太阳能穹顶) would cover the whole city.Supporters of underground development say that buil ding down rather than building up is a good way to use the earth's space. The surface,they say,can be used for farms,parks,g ardens,and wilderness. H. G. Wells's "moon people" would agree. Would you?（1） The explorers in H. G. Wells's story were surprised to find that the "moon people"______.（2） What does the underlined word "it" in Paragraph 2 refer to?（3） What kind of underground systems are already here with us?（4） Which of the following is true?（5） What would be the best title for the text?三、任务型阅读7. 任务型阅读Lang Lang is only 27 years old,but has already been called "the most popular pianist on the planet" by American televi sion network CNN.Like every successful person,Lang went through years of hard and lonely practice before making his name .________ With great talent (天赋),he won his first competition at the age of five________ When he was nine,Lang went to l earn music in Beijing________But Lang got fired (开除) by the piano teacher six months later________Hearing about his so n's failure,Lang's father was so angry that he told Lang to jump off a building!________His big break came at age 17,when he gained worldwide fame at "Gala of the Century",a well-known concer t in Chicago,the US. Lang said it was his true love of music and piano that made him keep working.A.however,Lang didn't jump,and pressure(压力)soon changed to power.B. Lang's father pushed little Lang very hard to succeed.C. It totally destroyed (毁灭) his piano dream.D. He began to take piano lessons at the age of 3.E.
