Since noodles mean long life, it is considered very unlucy to cut it off.Although westerners sometimes may be very sorry to see fish lying on the plate, in China a whole fish is a symbol of richness.

They're not really bad guests, but because the guesthost relationship in China is much different than in some western countries, it appears they are not nice guests. And western hosts sometimes loo rude(粗鲁的)in the eyes of Chinese guests.In China, guests are almost lie gods. Whenever I enter a Chinese person's home, there is always fruit on the table for me, and someone is quic to bring me a cup of tea or water. In the west, generally the guest is not a god. Acting according to the host's way of doing things is usual behavior for a guest.My wife's mother, a very ind elderly Chinese lady, doesn't smoe. When I see some of her guests smoing in her house, as a nonsmoer, I feel unhappy. Usually I want to stop them directly, but I must realie that in China, to be a good host, she must not do that. In most North American homes, if you are a guest, and the hosts are not smoers, you should not smoe in their house. At the very least, you could as, “Is it O if I smoe？” But, don't be surprised if they say, “No, you can't smoe.” In our culture, if you smoe in their home, you are a bad guest, but if theydo not allow you to smoe in their house, they are not a rude host.Guests in China also have special habits. Some western people may not adapt_to these habits very soon. Thanfully my wife is Chinese, so whenever we visit a Chinese family she tells me to buy them a gift. However, giving a gift to a host is not always necessary in my country. So, if you invite international guests to your house, don't be too surprised if they don't bring you a gift.In China, y ou probably won't need to change the guesthost relationship very much because you will probably only be the host, and Chinese are naturally very good hosts. If western hosts invite you to their house, try not to be too surprised if their style of treating you is not what you have epected.( )1. Many foreigners thin that Chinese hosts are the________ in the world.A. bestB. worstC. most naturalD. most different( )2.

When I was complaining(抱怨) about it, three people appeared at my desk — a tired woman and two children.“Are you all sick？” I asked doubtfully because they seemed all right.“Yes，” the woman answered weakly and lowered her head.But when they started to present their problems, things became unclear. One child had a fever, but his temperature was OK. The other child had an earache, but she could not tell me which ear hurt. It seemed that the mother was pretending(假装) to cough.Something was wrong. But I only explained that it might take a while before a doctor could meet them. “Take your time, please.” said the mother. I checked their charts — no address. Suddenly I knew, they were homeless while the hospital was warm.The family huddled(蜷缩) together under the Christmas tree, smiling and talking with each other sweetly. Quietly, I went back to the nurses' station and told them what happened in the waiting room. It was just like God sending us a gift on Christmas Day. The nurses' station suddenly came back to l ife. All the nurses went into action for “a Christmas emergency(急诊)”．We took out our meals for our Christmas “patients”. We also put together oranges and apples as presents.

The songs of the bird filled the hippo with so much envy(羡慕) that he couldn't think of anything else. Every day he would think why he wasn't born to be a bird even though the bird told him many times he was so lucky to be so big and such a good swimmer.Finally, the hippo made up his mind that he would come out of the river, climb the tree, and start singing. However, when he tried to climb the tree, it was very clear that the hippo didn't have wings, nor claws to climb with.Realizing that he would never climb up the tree, he angrily hit the tree until it came crashing to the ground. Then he stepped onto the leaves of the fallen tree, and began singing.Unfortunately, hippos can't sing, either. All that came from his mouth were terrible noises, and when the other animals heard this, they all came around to make fun of the hippo.He was so ashamed by this. He also felt bad about having knocked the tree over. He used all his strength to raise the tree back up again, and look after it until it completely recovered(康复)．( )1.

One of them, Demo, was wise; another one, Jimmy, was halfwise; Martin, the third one, was stupid.Some fishermen came to the bank of the lake with their nets. The three fish saw them.Demo decided at once to leave, to make the long and difficult trip to the ocean. He thought, “I won't discuss with these two about this. They love this place so much that they call it home and will stay on. How silly they are! They still haven't realized we are in great danger now. Their ignorancewill cost them their lives.”Seeing the wise fish had left, Jimmy thought，“My guide has gone and now I've lost my chance to escape.”He felt sorry for it and then thought, “What can I do to save myself from these men and their nets? Perhaps I should pretend(假装) to be already dead, giving myself totally to the water.”So he did that. He went up and down with the water, helpless, within arm's reach of the fishermen.“Look at this! The best and biggest fish is dead.”One of the men lifted him by the tail, and threw him up on the ground. He rolled(滚动) over and over and moved secretly toward the water, and then, back in.The third fish was aimlessly jumping about, trying to escape with his speed and cleverness. The net, of course, finally closed around him, and as he lay in the hot fryingpan bed, he thought, “If I get out of this, I'll never live again in the limits of the lake. Next time, the ocean!

They serve some certain purpose, teach you a lesson or help find out who you are or who you want to become. You never know who these people may be: your classmate, neighbor, teacher, longlost friend or even a real stranger. But you know that every moment they will influence your life in some serious way.Sometimes things happen to you. At the time they may seem terrible, painful and unfair. But later you realize that without overcoming those difficulties, you would have never realized your further ability and advantages. Everything happens for a reason and nothing happens by chance or with good or bad luck.The people you meet influence your life, and the success and failure you experience create who you are. Even the bad experience can be learned from. In fact, they are probably the most poignant and important ones.Enjoy every day even every moment and take from it everything that you possibly can, for you may never be able to experience it again. Talk to people whom you have never talked to before, and really listen. You should set your goals high, hold your head up, tell yourself you are a great one and believe in yourself.You can make your life anything you wish.

They begin their school year in January and it is broken up into three terms. In Kenya, in the past, students were not required to attend school an the education was not free, either.I taugth math, English and physics at Chamasiri Secondary School whiel I was a teacher in Kenya. This school had four classrooms—one for each grade, Form 1, Form 2, Form 3 andForm 4. They are equivalent (对等) to our 9th ,10th ,11th, and 12th grade. Teachers traveled from classroom to classroom instead of the students going from room to room. The Form 1 class had 60 students, Form 2 had 45, Form 3 had 30, and Form 4 about 12 students. The class sizes became smaller as the grades continued on. Why did this happen? Many families were very poor and couldn’t afford the school fees(学费).Most countryside schools in Kenya did not have a lot of money. As a result, there were very few textbooks for the students to use. I had seven math texts for my Form 2 class and 14 for the Form 1 class. Anything the students needed to know was put up on the blackboard and the students copied it down into their noetbooks. The notebooks became the students’ textbooks.Kenya students study ten different subject areas. Some of the students spend over an hour running home. They do chores at home and hopefully manage to find some time to study before it gets dark. Most familes do not have electricity and may not even have candles for their children to study by.Luckily, Kenya educatio n has been becoming better and better in the past few years. I’m sure it will have a good future.38．Which grade does Form 3 refer to (指的是) in ther writer’s country?A．Grade 9. B．Grade 10. C．Grade 11. D．Grade 12. 39．Why did the notebooks become the student s’ textbooks?A．The students did not pay the schools.B．The schools couldn’t afford the textbooks.C．The students preferred to use their notebooks.D．The teachers asked the students to take notes.40．Why do some students run home from school?A．They aren’t allowed to stay at school.B．They don’t like studing in the school.C．They hope to have more time to study.D．They want to get candles in the stores.41．According to the passage, which of the following is NOT TRUE?A．In Kenya, a school year has three terms.B．The Form 1 class had the most students.C．Each family has electricity in Kenya.D．Kenya education has been improving.For thousands of years, humans have explored(探索) the Earth. Nowadays, we are exploring space. Astronomers (天文学家) are modern-day explorers. Now, many astronomers are looking for new planets and new places of humans to live in the future. But where do astronomers start looking?First of all, astronomers look for a star. That’s because our own Earth moves around a star (the Sun). More importantly, it is the correct distance(距离) from the Sun for heat and light. So when astronomers have found the star, they look at the planets around it. In recent years, astronomers have found nearly 400 new planets with stars. However, many of these planets are either too near to the star or too far away.However, if the planet is in a good position, astronomers look for three key things: water, air and rock. Water is important because all life needs water. Humans can drink it and they can also grow plants with water. And plants produce air for humans to breathe and food to eat. Rock on a planet is also important. That’s because there is often water under the rock.After many years of scrutinizing, astronomers have found a planet that is similar to the Ea rth. It’s Gliese 581g and it’s near a star. The astronomers think it has water and rock and the average(平均的) temperature is between-310C and -120C．That’s cold，but not colder than Antarctica or Arctic Circle, for example, Gliese 581g is bigger than the Earth. A year on Gliese 581g is only 37 Earth days instead of 365. But astronomers do not think there are big differences and some them thing Gliese 581g will be a new Earth. However, Gliese 581g is twenty light years from the Earth.42．What do astronomers have to find first before starting to look for a new place for humans to have?A．A new star. B．A new planet. C．Some heat.

专项训练八饮食、卫生与健康时间：8～10分钟/篇分值：2分/小题Passage 1(2018天津)Many people travel to different places in the world by air. Usually it taes a long time, perhaps half a day, for passengers to stay in the plane. So airlines(航空公司) offer passengers food. But it is common that they feel bad about food taste. Do you agree?To solve this problem, airlines try hard to improve their food. They would lie to do so because they don't want to lose customers.However, according to scientific research, part of the reason why plane food tastes bad is that at high altitude(海拔) we can not taste things as well as we do on the ground. Also scientists have found that our noses become very dry even before a plane taes off. As the plane moves up, the change in air pressure(气压) reduces one third of the sensibility(感觉) of our taste buds(味蕾). So our taste buds become senseless. The sad fact, however, is that our noses don't now it.All of these help eplain why food on the plane tastes so bad. They also help eplain why airlines choose to offer passengers salty and spicy(辛辣的) food. Without doing so, the food would be tasteless.Now there are many researches on this. According to one of them, some volunteers are ased to lie with their feet higher than their heads for wees. And scientists write down their feelings about food taste.Though scientists try their best, it is not as easy as they thought. Because they can't deal with the special environment successfully, such as the change in air pressure, maing food taste good is still hard for them.( )1. In Paragraph 2, “this problem”means ________．A. passengers stay long in the planeB. food on the plane tastes badC. passengers have no food to eatD. food on the plane is epensive( )2. What do airlines do to solve this problem?A. Get more customers.B. Offer more food.C. Improve their food.D. Reduce the ticet price.( )3. As the plane moves up, the change in air pressure reduces ________ of the sensibility of our taste buds.A. halfB. one thirdC. one fourthD. one fifth( )4. Why do scientists feel it hard to mae food on the plane taste good?A. The volunteers don't now about food taste.B. The volunteers don't understand them.C. They can't find enough volunteers.D. They can't deal with the special environment successfully.( )5. What is the best title of the passage?A. Taste of Airplane FoodB. Airplane TravelC. Scientific Research on NosesD. The Change in Air PressurePassage 2(2018东营)It seems that school children all over the world complain(抱怨)about their school food. What do students of your age eat for lunch at school in other countries?JapanHigh schools have dining rooms. They serve everything from noodles to rice, but not burgers and chips. Other children bring food from home, such as cold rice balls, meat or fish, picles(泡菜)and vegetables. Twice a year parents are invited to have a taste of the food.United StatesA typical menu from a US school is made up of a hamburger with fried potatoes or roast chicen, lettuce and picles, fruit and cooies. School lunches must also provide at least one third of the daily amount(总量)of necessary nutrition(营养)，such as, vitamin A, vitamin C and calcium(钙)．AustraliaMeat pies, sausage rolls(香肠卷)and hotdogs are all traditional dishes in Australian school shops. But as the country pays more attention to children's health, healthier foods have started to appear on school menus. Many schools have used a traffic light system. The sale of red labeled(标注)foods, including cooies, chocolate and soft drins, is served only twice a wee. Healthier greenlabeled foods such as sushi, sandwiches, corn and watermelons, however, are available every day.South AfricaMost of South African schools do not serve meals at all. Classes end at 1：30 p．m. and students get their own lunches. Many students bring food from home, usually sandwiches.Fast food and fried food sell the best among students. As a result, it has caused a rise in obesity(肥胖)among children. But as more people began to realie that being too fat may cause different inds of serious illnesses, some schools in towns have led the way towards better nutrition. Now students at these schools are offered lunches of porridge with vegetables, such as cabbage, onions, beans, carrots and tomatoes.( )1.

In the United States, school lunches must provide at least one third of the daily amount of necessary nutrition.C. In Australia, many schools have used a traffic light system.D. In South Africa, schools don't serve meals.Passage 3(2018长沙)Why is clean water so important to developing countries? A recent report shows that about 80 percent of diseases in developing countries are caused by poor water and low sanitation(卫生)conditions. In those countries, women and girls spend several hours collecting water, but often polluted, far away from their families. The polluted water more or less influences their health. In this case, there is an urgent(迫切的) need for people in developing countries to have access to(有机会或权利使用) clean water to improve their health.Here is a short story about Hadjara aari, a 12yearold girl in Niger.

2019年中考英语专项练习—阅读理解之校园生活及语言学习(2018年真题带答案)

2019年中考英语专项练习—阅读理解之校园生活及人生哲理第一节阅读理解。

根据短文内容，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳答案。

A(2018年山东省青岛市)Some scientists say that animals in the ocean are increasingly threatened(威胁) by noise pollution caused by human beings. The noise that influences sea animals comes from a number of human activities. It is caused mainly by industrial underwater explosions(爆炸) , ocean drilling, and ship engines. Such noises are added to natural sounds. These sounds include the breaking of ice fields, underwater earthquakes, and sounds made by animals themselves.Decibels (分贝) measured in water are different from those measured on land. A noise of one hundred and twenty decibels on land causes pain to human ears. In water, a decibel level of one hundred and ninety five would have the same effect(效果).Some scientists have proposed setting a noise limit(限度)of one hundred and twenty decibels in oceans. They have observed that noises at that level can frighten and confuse whales(鲸鱼).A team of American and Canadian scientists discovered that louder noises can seriously injure some animals. The research team found that powerful underwater explosions were causing whales in the area to lose their hearing. This seriously affected the whales' ability to exchange information and find their way. Some of the whales even died. The explosions had caused their ears to bleed.Many researchers whose work depends on ocean sounds object to a limit of one hundred and twenty decibels. They say such a limit would mean an end to important industrial and scientific research. Scientists do not know how much and what kinds of noises are harmful to ocean animals. However, many scientists suspect that noise is a greater danger than they believed. It’s time for them to take action to help ocean animals.( )1. Which of the following is not caused by human beings?A. The noise of industrial underwater explosions.B. The noise of ocean drilling.C. The sound of underwater earthquakesD. The noise of ship engines.( )2. What does the second paragraph mainly tell us?A. The same noise measures differently on land and in the ocean.B. Different places may have different types of noises.C. The noises can cause humans to lose hearing.D. There are different kinds of natural sounds in the ocean.( )3. Which of the following statements is TRUE?A. Powerful underwater explosions aren’t harmful to whales’ ears.B. Many researchers are against the noise limit of 120 decibels.C. Noises cannot cause whales’ death.D. The noise limit of 120 decibels would hardly influence the industrial research.( )4. According to the passage, we can infer that scientists will probably .A. work hard to cut down natural sounds.B. stop industrial and scientific research in oceans.C. try their best to make no noise.D. protect ocean animals from harmful noises.B (2018·四川自贡)June 7th is a big day for students in China if they want to pass Gaokao and enter a university. Do the students in other countries have the similar pressure to win university places? Let's have a look.The ACT(美国大学入学考试) and SAT(学术能力评估测试) are the two main college entrance examinations in the US. Although many US colleges take the test scores of both examinations，most students take the ACT. Each year，near two million students take the test.The UK does not have a specific test. Instead，each college sets up its own test. High school performance is the main determining(决定) part，not test scores.If students in France are interested in higher education，they have to choose between two types of schools，universities and competitive institutes(有竞争力的学院). French universities are open to students if they have passed their college entrance examination. But getting into a competitive institute will be very difficult.In Japan，there is a National Center Test for University Admissions(入学). Students in Japan have great pressure，because they only have one chance to take the test each year. This year，more than 500,000 students took the entrance examination in January.( )1. How many countries does the writer mention in the passage?A. Three.B. Four.C. Five.( )2. About how many students take the ACT every year in the USA?A. 200,000.B. 2,000,000.C. 200,000,000.( )3. In which country are test scores not the main determining part for entering a university?A. The USA.B. The UK.C. France.( )4. Which sentence is true according to the passage?A. The Japanese students have great pressure like the Chinese students.B. Students don't take any examinations at all in the UK.C. Most French students can get into competitive institutes easily.( )5. Where may the passage come from?A. A magazine.B. A picture book.C. A storybook.C (2018·山东威海)One day Vimala and her new friend，Mary，were playing at school. Mary was a very quiet and shy girl but Vimala liked her. While jumping，Mary's glasses fell off and broke. Just then the bell rang and they had to hurry to their science class.“Oh dear，I'm going to be as blind as a bat. But we'd better hurry. It's Miss Lee's class，” said Mary.At the start of the lesson，Miss Lee explained how to do the experiment to produce large crystals. Then she started to question the class. Nobody dared to give a wrong answer because Miss Lee was a very strict teacher. Miss Lee held up a clamp(夹具) and said，“What do we use this for? What do we call it？” All the girls looked down，while she looked at their heads for one to pick on. “Mary？” she finally asked.Mary was sitting at the back of the class. She stood up and peered at Miss Lee，but she could not see clearly what the teacher was holding. She was nervous a bit and did not answer.Miss Lee repeated her question. This time she spoke more slowly and there was anger in her voice.“What is this used for？” she asked.Vimala saw storm clouds climbing up to Miss Lee's face. She knew that the storm was about to burst on Mary，so she put up her hand. Miss Lee paid no attention to her and stared through narrowed eyes at Mary，waiting for an answer.Mary did not know what to say. She looked to her left and right for help. Too scared to say out that she couldn't see clearly，Mary hoped that if she kept quiet，Miss Lee would ask somebody else.Vimala guessed what was wrong，so she decided to take a risk. She jumped to her feet and said，“Excuse me，Miss Lee，Mary broke her glasses just before the lesson started. I don't think she can see the clamp clearly.” Then she sat down，praying(祈祷) that the ceiling would not fall on her.“Oh！” Miss Lee said，a little surprised. She had thought that Mary was refusing to answer. Now that she understood，her anger faded away. “Thank you，Vimala.” she said. Then she turned to Mary and said，“Come and look at this.”Mary left her chair and went to the front of the class.“It's a clamp.” she said. “We can put it on a metal st and(支架) and use it to hold the things in place.”“Well，you got it right at last，” Miss Lee said with a brief smile. “But you'd better not do any experiments until your glasses have been repaired. You can watch Vimala while she does the experiment.”The storm clouds disappeared. The smile disappeared from Miss Lee's face and she continued with the lesson. Vimala winked at Mary who peered at her and smiled weakly.( )1. What's the matter with Mary's glasses?A. They were lost.B. They were broken.C. They were left at home.( )2.

What keeps you teaching？” The answer was always the same. “There is always that one child，that one moment that is worth it.”Now，I am a teacher，too. But different from my mother，I teach students challenging activities outdoors. And when my mother asked me the similar questions，my answers was，“It's that one child，that one special moment.”One of those moments happened recently. I was working with a group of girls in a four-week programme. Everything went on well through the “Team” events and we were moving on to a “High” one called the Wire(钢索) Walk.In the Wire Walk，each girl had to climb up the pegs(木桩) in a tree to a wire,8 meters high, and then walk across it. Of course, everything was safe for sure.When I asked who would try，a few girls raised their hands，and they finished the Wire Walk with little difficulty.But when it was Susie's turn，it seemed that she didn't really want to. I asked Susie if she was ready. She answered softly，“I suppose.”Now，Susie was at the foot of the tree. She started to make the long reach for the first peg. The other girls cheered for her. Then I found Susie was becoming nervous with every step. I realized she would not go much further.Susie was halfway up. Then she stopped and held the tree tight(紧紧地)，looking very afraid. Her eyes were closed. With her face against the tree，she cried，“I can't.”The other girls sat in silence. I talked quietly to Susie，trying to relax her. I talked for a long time till I ran out of words.“I will still be your friend no matter what，Susie！” Mary broke the silence.To my surprise，Susie lifted her head and looked up to the wire. Then she turned to look down at Mary and smiled. Mary smiled back.Finally，Susie made it all the way across that wire. When she returned to the ground，the first hug she looked for was from Mary.We all cheered.Moments like this keep me doing what I do. The young hearts continue to fill me with courage.( )1.

The students read some 800-word stories about Albert Einstein and Marie Curie. The control group read a regular science textbook description about their great achievements. Anothergroup read about the scientists' personal struggles，like Einstein's running away from Nazi Germany. The third group read about the scientists' intellectual struggles，as they tried different experiments—and failed.As it turned out，the students who had read about scientists' struggles，whether personal or intellectual，had higher grades than students who had read about achievements. Those who weren't getting good grades to begin with gained the most. Those in the control group not only didn't see a grade increase，they had lower grades than the grading before the study began.“We think that struggle stories showe d scientists' weaknesses，” the researchers write，“which creates a sense of connection between the students and scientists. And that may make it easier for students to see them as role models.”“When kids think Einstein is a talent who is untouchable，then they believe they will never get there，” said lead researcher Xiaodong Lin-Siegler，PhD.If we want to educate a future generation of great scientists，we can start by changing the way we talk about the great scientists of the past. An 800-word story about scientists' failures，not just their achievements，in science textbooks will make it happen.( )1. What does the article mainly talk about?A. Learning about struggles of scientists may help students succeed in science.B. Reading stories of scientists' achievements will help educate future scientists.C. Science textbooks should describe scientists' failures instead of their achievements.D. Stories of scientists' struggles may make students see scientists as being untouchable.( )2. From Paragraph 4，we can know that________.A. those good at science achieved most from this exerciseB. the control group had lower grades than the other two groupsC. the students' grades in the control group remained the sameD. the students in the third group had the highest grades( )3. What's the main idea for Paragraph 5 and Paragraph 6?A. Findings of the study.B. Explanations from the researchers.C. Process of the study.D. Suggestions from the researchers.( )4. In the study，which of the following would the third group probably read?A. Einstein won many awards in his life，including the 1921 Nobel Prize in physics.B. Going to college was hard for Curie because at that time women were not allowed to attend school. So，Curie had to study at secret classes.C.

If he planted the tree in one of his fields，his neighbors would come at night and steal some of the apples. If he planted the tree near his house，his children would take the fruit.Finally he planted the tree in his woods(树林) where no one could see it. But without sunlight and good soil，the tree soon died.Later the friend asked the farmer w hy he had planted the tree in such a poor place. “What's the difference？” the farmer said angrily. If I had planted the tree near the road，strangers would have stolen the fruit. If I had planted the tree in one of my fields，my neighbors would have come at night and stolen some of the apples. If I had planted it near my house，my own children would have taken the fruit.“Yes，” said the friend，“but at least someone could have enjoyed the fruit.

But then we remember. We have to look at the AmericanCollege Test(ACT) exercises one more time. Half asleep，we run downstairs to get the ACT book，and start studying. After this we finally get to turn off the lights and drift away to sleep. And then six hours later，we do it all over again.In my health class，my teacher told us that teenagers need at least eight to nine hours of sleep each night. The sad truth is，with so much to do every day，high school students cannot keep to this sleep schedule(安排)．Let me ask you all a question: Doesn't it seem more humane(人道的) to give a teenager perhaps two hours of homework each night? This would allow us to have the eight to nine hours of much needed sleep. Or does it seem better to pile students with five hours of work a night? It leaves us very little time to relax，therefore reducing the time that we can sleep.In my opinion，the present structure(结构) of the junior year of high school doesn't work well. Junior year of high school is a time for growth. By this time many students have the ability to think creatively，and solve challenging problems. Homework is important for a student's growth. But do we really need to spend countless hours a night doing it? Too much homework can only lead to too little sleep and too low an ability.I do think it is time to change the structure，so that we sleep at home，and learn at school.( )1.
