2024年人教版中考英语复习+阅读理解+专项训练(10篇)

九年级中考英语阅读理解专练第(一)篇Tea and coffee are two of the most popular drinks in the world. However, people usually like one more than the other. These drinks also have very different uses.Tea drinking started in China over 4,000 years ago. Tea is made from leaves. These days, some people drink tea for health, using it to help with stress(压力) or losing weight. However, most people in tea-drinking countries think of tea as more than just a healthy drink. In fact, tea drinking in some countries is a part of the culture. In Turkey(土耳其), tea is always there when people meet. Whether in someone’s home or a company, tea is always offered as a way of welcoming. In the UK, homes and offices usually have tea time. Tea and other dishes are served at tea time in the afternoon. It is a way of relaxing with friends .Coffee came much later than tea, just over 1,000 years ago. Coffee is made from beans. Something in the coffee beans makes a person feel active. Most people do not drink coffee to relax. Instead, they drink coffee to get going. Many people drink coffee in the morning to help them wake up. Others will also drink coffee during short breaks in the afternoon to keep going through the working day. Some people may visit coffee shops just to meet and talk with friends. However, many people in coffee shops drink coffee while working on their computers.Is tea or coffee more common in your country? Between the two, which do you like to drink more?1. Where did tea drinking start?A. In Japan.B. In China.C. In Turkey.D. In the UK.2. We can learn from Paragraph 2 that people in the UK ________.A. drink tea to get fatB. offer tea to say goodbyeC. think of tea as a bad drinkD. have tea to relax themselves3.

Take famous poet Li Bai for example. His family nam e, which came from his father’s name, was Li. His given name was Bai, and his courtesy name was Taibai.People used their given names when they were among family members. But in social life, they called each other by their courtesy names to show respect. This was mostly done among people of similar age. If you were talking about yourself, or if your elders were talking about you, the given name would be used instead of the courtesy name.Men would get their courtesy names when they turned 20. It was a symbol of adulthood (成年礼). Women would get their courtesy names after getting married.One’s courtesy name often had something to do with one’s given name. For example, the name of Mencius was Meng Ke. His courtesy name was Ziyu. Both Ke and Ziyu mean “carriage (马车)”. Zhuge Liang’s given name was Liang, which means “bright”. His courtesy name was Kongming, which means “very bright”.1. How many parts are there in people’s names in ancient China?A. three.B. four.C. five.D. six.2. What does the under lined word “courtesy” in Paragraph 2 mean in Chinese?A. 名B. 姓氏C. 字D. 昵称3. Why did people call each other by their courtesy names in social life?A. To show their love.B. To show their good relationship.C. To show their kindness.D. To show their respect.4. What would be used if your elders were talking about you according to the passage?A. Family name.B. Nickname.C.

Even though snowflakes are related to winter, she let others feel warmth, hope and light through her performance. “I’m also disabled and I want to do something for them with my music,” said Ma.Ma went blind at the age of two because of an illness. She became interested in music when she was young. She started to learn to play the piano at five and the violin at nine, experiencing the “colorful” music through sound and emotion.Ma’s mother Ha Chunyan, a former music teacher in a primary school, helped her memorize the music score (乐谱) before she played the piano. Ma could not see the keys and always played the wrong notes. It took her thousands of tries to play a piece correctly.Learning the violin was more challenging. Ma needed to feel the teacher’s hands, arms and back to learn the movements, and listen to the strings (弦) over and over again to feel the muscles (肌肉) herself.“After three years of learning, she still could not make any sound except terrible noises,” said Ha, who advised her daughter to give up the violin. But Ma said, “As I’ve been practicing so long, it’s hard to give up. I believe I will play better if I persist in practicing.”In 2018, Ma got a chance to follow Sheng Yuan and Cao Yuhan, famous musicians from the CentralConservatory of Music, to study music in Beijing. She left her home in Ningxia to follow her musical dream, though she knew there would be more challenges ahead.Ma expressed her excitement about performing at the big event. “All my hard work has paid off. I’m proud of standing on the stage today.”1. The violin performance made people feel __________.A. regret, hope and lightB. fear, warmth and hopeC. warmth, hope and lightD. pity, warmth and light2. How does the writer describe Ma’s difficulties in learning the violin?A. By questioning.B. By listing numbers.C. By offering advice.D. By giving examples.3. Which of the following is TRUE about Ma?A. Ma began to learn to play the piano at nine.B. In 2018, Ma got a chance to study music in Beijing.C. It was more challenging for Ma to learn the piano than the violin.D. Ma could memorize the music score by herself before playing the piano.4. What does the underlined phrase “persist in” probably mean in Paragraph 5?A. keep onB. end upC. take pride inD. look forward to5. Ma’s story tells us __________.A. old habits die hardB. there is no place like homeC. practice makes perfectD. a good friend is like a mirror第(四)篇We know many musical instruments well, such as pianos, violins, drums and so on. What about the erhu? The erhu is a traditional Chinese instrument. It is the most popular of the huqin family, and it has a long history.The modern erhu developed from the xiqin, which was played by many ethnic minorities (少数民族) during the Tang Dynasty. In the Song Dynasty, musicians began to use the erhu to perform different kinds of music, and itbecame quite a popular instrument. With the rise of some forms of folk art, the art of the erhu developed quickly during the Ming and Qing Dynasties. It became an important accompanying (伴奏) instrument in different folk music. At present, it is used in both traditional and modern music, such as in pop, rock and jazz. It has even become a solo (独奏) instrument. One of the most famous musical pieces played on the erhu is Erquan Yingyue.As the erhu was mainly played by common people and the playing skills were passed down orally (口头地), there are few written records about the erhu that can be found. To study the history and the development of the erhu, historians (历史学者) usually turn to ancient paintings. The earliest pictures of this instrument were found in Yulin Caves and Eastern Thousand Buddha Caves in Gansu Province, where five erhu pictures were discovered on murals (壁画).1. When did the erhu become a popular instrument?A. In the Tang Dynasty.B. In the Song Dynasty.C. In the Ming Dynasty.D. In recent years.2. To study the history of the erhu, historians usually ________.A. play the most famous erhu piecesB. listen to different kinds of folk musicC. get help from ancient paintingsD. read some books about ethnic minorities3. Which is TRUE according to the passage?A. The huqin belongs to the erhu family.B. Folk art stops the development of the erhu.C. People can find plenty of written records about the erhu.D. The erhu is used in both traditional and modern music now.4. You may read the passage in the ________ section of a newspaper.A. cultureB. businessC. healthD. nature5. The passage mainly talks about ________.A. the forms of folk musicB. the history of the erhuC. the rise of different dynastiesD. the development of Chinese instruments第(五)篇Just a few days after his 18th birthday, Beijing 2022 gold medal winner Su Yiming received a surprise gift—aletter from Xi Jinping, President of the People’s Republic of China.In the letter, Xi expressed his congratulations to Su and other sportsmen in ice and snow sports for their great achievements at the Beijing Winter Olympics, hoping what they had achieved would encourage young Chinese to aim(立目标) high.When Su first stepped onto a snowboard at the age of four, a future as a world-class sportsman seemed to be “a dream too big” for him. Little did he know that he would not only compete for his country but also take home gold. With the great excitement of winning an Olympic gold medal still fresh in his mind, Su wrote a letter to the president, telling him how lucky he felt to have made his dream come true.Su still remembers what Xi wrote in the reply, “The new era is the time for young people to realize their dreams.”“I have always kept those words in my mind,” Su said.“When I made up my mind to be a professional(职业的) snowboarder, I know there is a big gap between my performance(表现) and that of the top sportsmen in the world. But I have been working hard to realize my dream. Now my story shows the fact that hard work will pay off.” Su said.Su believes the sky is the limit. “Find the thing you love, believe in yourself and do your very best. Finally, your dream will come true.”Now Su has his strong wish to win all the competitions in his sporting field.1. What was the surprise gift Su Yiming got after his birthday?A. A letter.B.

Most of them cover huge areas of land where nobody lives, and usually far way from cities. However, the National Parks in England include places where people live and work, as well as wild areas where there are few human activities.The National Parks in England are called “England’s Breathing Spaces” because they are places where people can go to be in the open air, away from the dirt and noise of cities. They provide wonderful scenes of mountains, woods, grasslands and wetlands. And there are plenty of activities to do in all of the National Parks in England. Visitors can walk or ride bikes for fun. Many of the parks put on activities for families.Every year there are about 110 million visitors to the parks, bringing many benefits(益处) to the areas. At the same time, it creates problems too. First, life can be difficult for local people. Car parks and roads are too crowded. Gift shops and cafes take the place of many everyday shops. Even house prices in some areas can become too high. Besides, country roads can be damaged, for too many people walk, cycle or ride horses on them. Roads can be rebuilt, but then they look less natural. Another big problem to the National Parks is litter. In the parks it is a danger to wild animals. Broken glass can also cause fires by focusing the rays of the sun. Such fires in wild places can be out of control.How can people help? All National Parks in England are making more rules, which tell people how to take good care of their environment. If these rules are followed, the National Parks will be well kept and continue to give pleasure to many people for a very long time.1.According to paragraph 1, what can we learn about the National Parks?A.There are only several national parks in the worldB.

Where may you read the article?A.In Chinese textbooksB. In fashion magazinesC. In history booksD. In geographical newspapers第(八)篇During work hours, among the sounds of machines, the kitche n of Bach’s Bakery (面包房) is especially tidy and quiet, not because of any rules against talking during work hours, but because all of the workers have a hearing disability. They are hard-working and professional in their work, and use sign language to communicate with each other from time to time.Bach’s Bakery lies in Changsha City, Hunan Province. It is run by a German couple, Uwe Brutzer and his wife Dorothee Brutzer, who started it up ten years ago with the purpose of creating more jobs for those disabled in the neighborhood. So far, Bach’s Bakery has trained around 30 hearing disabled people. While some skilled workers found jobs in other bakeries and hotels and have been able to live on their own, several of them have stayed to work atthe bakery after they completed the training.The Brutzers’ work has won the support of many people in China. With the spread of news about the bakery, many Internet users learned about Bach’s Bakery and its inspiring story. As a result, many local people in Changsha as well as visitors from other parts of the country come to buy their products, Uwe said that public attention has encouraged them a lot and helped grow the bakery’s business, resulting in workers getting higher pay. However, what he values more is that, through media (媒体) reports, more people have come to understand that disabled people can work as well as other people when they are given chances.Now, as they are preparing to return to Germany, they have found a German couple teaching in China as the new managers, and handed over the bakery to a public welfare (福利) organization. Their wish is to continue providing free training for the hearing disabled and that the bakery will never be changed into a shop with moneymaking as its main goal.1.

What’s the best title for the passage?A. A Silent BakeryB. A Special WishC. The Success of the DisabledD. The Rules of Bach’s Bakery第(九)篇Scientists are looking for ways that we can effectively use the light and heat from the sun. One idea that has caught their imagination is solar roads. They are expected to produce clean and renewable energy.With solar panels on the surfaces, solar roads cost more than traditional roads. However, besides the functions of traditional roods, they have the panels to receive sunlight and change it into the energy to supply power to homes, factories and street lighting. There are four layers in a solar panel:•Base layer: It is made of insulation material and forms a good grip with the road below this layer.•Middle layer: This is the most important layer. It holds all kinds of power lines connecting all the solar parts in the panel, like LED lights and the heating system.•Top layer: This layer is super-strong glass. It allows the panel to hold the weight of the heaviest vehicles.•Capping: This is the topmost layer used to offer extra protection to the solar parts in the panel. The layer must be rough enough to provide the traction for the safety of vehicles.With the smart design, solar roads can successfully charge the vehicles on them. And the roads have inbuilt LED lights to replace the traditional rood signs and lines, which are usually painted and harmful to humans. What’s more, the heating systems in the solar roads can take care of the snow and ice on the roads for drivers.Test solar roads have been built in several countries (France, China, USA, etc.) since 2014. The first word solar road project, Metrics of Watt Way in France, was set up by a French company called Construction Colas. It was an example of low effectiveness. In the first year, it had been expected to produce around 767 kWh of energy a day, but it only produced 409 kWh. Even so, the production could increase with design improvements. Of course, more time is needed before this technology is put into use.Solar roads may not be widely used in the near future, but they are indeed great for an environment-friendly and energy-saving world.1. Solar roads ________.A. offer power to homesB. get energy from factoriesC. keep the sunlight awayD. cost less than traditional roods2. Which of the following about the layers of a solar panel is TRUE according to the passage?A. The base layer is the most important layer.B. There are many power lines in the middle layer.C. The top layer lies on the top of the solar panel.D. The capping should be smooth enough for drivers.3. The first world solar road project ________.A. was set up in China in 2014B. showed high effectiveness as expectedC. was started by a US companyD. could get better with design improvements4. What is the best title for the passage?A. Solar Roads: A Widely Used InventionB. Solar Roads: A Safety Guard for DriversC. Solar Roads: A New Idea for Clean EnergyD. Solar Roads: A Way to Produce LED Lights5. Which part of newspaper may you read this passage?A. HistoryB. FashionC. SportD. Environment第(十)篇Steven Spielberg is the world’s most famous director. Hundreds of millions of people around the world have seen his films like Firelight, Amblin’ and The Color Purple. His films include two of the most popular films: Jurassic Park and E.T: The Extraterrestrial.Each of Steven’s parents had a deep influence on the young boy’s growing and character. His mother had given up her job when she married. When Steven was six, his father took him to Philadelphia to see his first film, The Greatest Show on Earth. Steven enjoyed this exciting circus (马戏团) story, however he could not understand how a circus could perform on a screen. Part of him felt disappointed that he couldn’t smell the sawdust (锯木) and gunpowder.When Steven was twelve, his parents bought an 8mm Kodak movie camera. Steven’s father handed Steven the camera and asked him to try. The first efforts were terrible, but Steven was interested in camera. He used his toys as characters and began making short films. By his teens Steven had made his first short film, called The Great TrainCrash. Before long the Spielberg house began to look like a film set, with furniture and lights being moved around to prepare for a new film.He is skilled in making a film excite, sadden or amuse people as they watch it. Spielberg understands the life in the countryside, television and fast cars, all of which became more common in his childhood in 1950s America. Films such as Jaws and Close Encounters of the Third Kind succeed because they are about ordinary people.After all the years Steven Spielberg had spent dreaming about getting into Hollywood. Steven Spielberg’s films were finally received the highest praise around the world.1. What are Steven’s two of the most popular films?A. Firelight and Amblin’.B. J aws and The Color Purple.C.

All of the results have four letters, and there are 16 results in total. “I” stands for “introverted (内向的)” and “E” refers to “extroverted”.Even if someone is typically quiet, many online discussions suggest that an “I” person can still act outgoing at times. For example, when an introverted person is with a group of introverted friends, they might become more social like an “E” person. According to experts, this is called “masking”. That is hiding your true personality in some situations. Because human beings want to get the sense of belonging by pleasing others.Using the MBTI result to identify (识别) and describe someone’s personality seems fun. However, I went too far at one time. My sister was excitedly making a day-to-day travel plan when I remembered from an article that “P people” don’t like to make or stick to plans, so I said to her, “You don’t seem like a ‘P person’.” “Why?” she asked back. “Since when do I need to follow what my personality test tells me to do?” It was then I realized I’d taken the result too seriously.The M BTI personality test may show something you don’t know about yourself and can even be a fun ice-breaker question when meeting new friends. And that’s all it is—for fun. Knowing someone’s MBTI result doesn’t mean you really know this person. And those four letters of yours don’t define (定义) who you are.阅读短文,根据短文内容回答问题。

AI will always remember my mother‘s last few days in this world.On February 14th,2000,my class went on a field trip to the beach. I had so much fun. When we returned to school,my teacher told me to go to the headmaster ‘s office. When I got into the office,I saw a police officer. Suddenly I realized something was wrong. The police officer told me what had happened and we went to pick my sister up. After that,we went to the hospital and waited. Time went slowly. Finally,we got to see our mother. It was terrible.On the next day,the headmaster came and told my two teachers what had happened.I was taking a rest that day. I knew it had something to do with my mother. I kept thinking that she either died or had gotten better. How I wished that she had gotten better. When my teacher took me outside,my sister ran up to me. She started crying,“She‘s gone. Teresa,mommy’s gone. She‘s dead.” I couldn’t’t believe it. We jumped into the car and drove straight to the hospital. Most of my family were there. The silence was terrible. I knew I had to say goodbye.Today when I look back,I still miss my mother very much,but I know that I will live. My mother was a strong mother,who had the biggest heart. My mother was an angel walking on the earth. I will always remember her as living. When someone is asked who their hero (英雄) is,they usually say someone famous,like Michael Jordan or Britney Spears. When someone asks me who my hero is,I tell them,my mother. My mother lives every day. That is what makes her a true hero.依据以上短文内容,然后从每题所给的四个选项中选择最佳选项。

eastern Jin Dynasty.According to the legend,Wang Xizhioffered to write words on the fansfor an elder lady,who was trying to sell fans on the bridge,andimmediately,all the townspeople queued up to buy one.Once it wasfor villages to pass across,but later for tourists for recreationalpurposes.The Pujin BridgeIt was a pontoon bridge made of bamboo rope and was constantlyrepaired.As it was built on the Yellow River by the Qin Kingdom,itwas once called"River Bridge".It was not until Hundreds of yearslater,when Emperor Xuanzongof Tang Dynasty gave orders to replacethe bamboo ropes with iron chains,that its name was changed intowhat it is now.Though with strong iron chains,it was still a traditionalplank bridges for daily passing.The Travellers'BridgeIt was built in about282by Emperor Wudiof the western Jin Dynasty.As the first stone single-arch bridge in China's history,it was built nearthe capital city Luoyang,and it was called the"Travellers'Bridge".Unlike traditional rope or plank bridges,the arch was high enough toallow large boats to pass under.The Guangji BridgeIt was built in1171with countless large stones and was located outsidethe ancient city of Chaozhouin Guangdong province.Its name means"helping the people".The bridge was the gateway from Guangdong toFujian and Zhejiang in ancient times.It is now regarded by many as thefirst swing bridge in the world.The swing was for navigation and floodrelief.16.The bridges were made of stones EXCEPT____.A.River Bridge B.TishanBridgeC.Travellers'Bridge D.GuangjiBridge17.The earliest stone single-arch bridge was in great height for____.A.recreational purposes B.flood reliefC.daily passing D.water transportation18.We can read the passage from a(n)____.A.history book B.romance novelC.architecture(建筑)magazine D.news report阅读理解A few years ago,I moved to a window office and sent an email letting everyone know.In the email,I jokingly invited everyone to come by for a"tour"ofthe new space.I was in a meeting that morning and when I got back to my office,I saw a box on my desk.There was a note on it,saying,"Happy new office!"The person didn't sign it.I was so happy with that.I didn't feel like I should help anyone or that someone was trying to get something from me.In fact,I found myself thanking everyone in the office.It was completely different from what I did on the beach the other day.The water was coming in.Two nice chairs were about to be taken out by the waves.The owners were nowhere to be seen,so I moved the chairs again and again as the waves rose.When the couple who owned the chairs showed up,I couldn't help myself.I went over,pointed to the waves,and said,"A couple of hours ago,your chairs were out there.""Oh,thanks so much for pulling them in,"said the guy."We just realized they were out here and thought they had probably gotten washed away.""Don't worry about it,"I said,as I walked away.Then these words came to my mind,"You have your reward(回报)."Then I realized when I went over to the couple,I was looking for something.If they hadn't shown anything after I told what I had done,it would have upset me.In our life,people who show their good deeds(行为)are always looking for a reward and they resent those who don't celebrate their generosity(慷慨).However,when we experience the pleasure of giving without letting the othersknow,we do more than show kindness.We're just giving to communicate an invaluable message,"You're loved.You're important to someone and it has nothing to do with what you can give in return."19.How did the author feel when she saw the box?A.She wanted to find out who cared about her.B.She thought someone asked for something.C.She was thankful someone gave it secretly.D.She was afraid it was sent to her by mistake.20.What can we infer about the author when she was on the beach?A.She got angry at keeping moving the chairs.B.She didn't think the couple liked the chairs.C.She made what she did known to the couple.D.She was lucky to meet with a kind couple.21.What does the underlined word"resent"inParagraph6mean?A.Hate.B.Avoid.C.Worry.D.Argue.22.What does the author advise us to do through the text?A.Give without expecting anything in return.B.Show love to someone important to you.C.Show kindness to those who dislike you.D.Do what we can to help more people.阅读理解The teacher who did the most to encourage me was,as it happened,my aunt.She was Myrtle C.Manigault,the wife of my mother's brother Bill.She taught in second grade at all-black Summer School in Camden,New Jersey.During my childhood and youth,Aunt Myrtle encouraged me to develop every aspect(方面)of my potential(潜能),without regard for what was considered practical or possible for black females.I liked to sing;she listened to my voice and pronounced it good.I couldn't dance;she taught me the basic dancing steps.She took me to the theatre—not just children's theatre but adult comedies and dramas—and her faith that I could appreciate adult plays was not disappointed.My aunt also took down books from her extensive library and shared them with me.I had books at home,but they were all serious classics.Even as a child I had a strong liking for humor,and I'll never forget the joy of discovering Don Marquis's Archy&Mehitabel through her.Most importantly,perhaps,Aunt Myrtle provided my first opportunity to write for publication.A writer herself for one of the black newspapers,she suggested my name to the editor as a"youth columnist".My column,begun when I was fourteen,was supposed to cover teenage social activities—and it did—but it also gave me the freedom to write on many other subjects as well as the habit of gathering material,the discipline of meeting deadlines,and,after graduation from college six years later,a solid collection of published material that carried my name and was my passport to a series of writing jobs.Today Aunt Myrtle is still an enthusiastic supporter of her"favouriteniece".Like a diamond,she has reflected a bright,multifaceted(多面的)image of possibilities to every pupil who has crossed her path.23.Which of the following did Aunt Myrtle do to the author during her childhood andyouth?A.She lent her some serious classics.B.She developed her taste for music.C.She discoveredher talent for dancing.D.She introduced her to adult plays.24.What does Archyand Mehitabel in Paragraph3probably refer to?A.A book ofgreat fun.B.A writer of high fame.C.A serious masterpiece.D.A heartbreaking play.25.Why did Aunt Myrtle recommended(推荐)the author to a newspaper editor?A.Because Aunt Myrtle wanted to develop the author'sabilities for writing.B.Because Aunt Myrtle wanted togive the author a chance to collect material.C.Because Aunt Myrtle wanted to encouragethe authorto joinin teenage socialactivities.D.Because Aunt Myrtle wanted tooffer the authora series of writing jobs.26.We can conclude from the passage that Aunt Myrtle was a teacher who____.A.trained pupils to be intelligent and well-organizedB.gave pupils confidence in exploring their potentialC.emphasized(强调)what was practical or possible for pupilsD.helped pupils overcome difficulties in learning阅读理解There are two basic ways to see growth:one as a product,the other as a process.People have generally viewed personal growth as an external(外在的)result or a product that can easily be identified and measured(度量).The worker who gets a rise,the student whose grades improve,the foreigner who learns a new language—all these examples of people who have measurable results to show for their efforts.By contrast(与...相反),the process of personal growth is much more difficult to determine,since it is a journey and not the specific signposts(路标)or landmarks along the way.The process is not the road itself,but the attitudes, feelings people have,and their caution or courage,as they meet with new experiences and unexpected difficulties.In this process,the journey never really ends;thereare always new ways to experience the world,new ideas to try,new challenges to accept.In order to grow,to travel new roads,people need to have a willingness to take risks,to face the unknown,and to accept the possibility that they may"fail"at first.How do we see our ability to grow?Do we see ourselves as quick and curious?If so,we tend to take more chances and be more open to unfamiliar experiences.Do we think we're shy and indecisive?Then our sense of fear can cause us to hesitate,to move slowly and not to take a step until we know the ground is safe.Do we think we are slow to adapt(适应)change or that we're not smart enough to deal with a new challenge?Then we are likely to take a more passive(被动)role or not try at all.These feelings of insecurity(不安全)and self-doubt are both unavoidable and necessary if we are to change and grow.If we protect ourselves too much,then we stop growing.We become trapped(困住)inside a shell(外壳)of our own making.27.Which of the following can be viewed as the process of personal growing?A.Our manager was always willing to accept new challenges.B.Jane won the first prize in the speech competition.C.Jerry picked up French during his stay in Paris.D.Father's salary rose from5,000to7,000.28.For personal growth,the author is in favor of all the following EXCEPT____.A.being curious about more changesB.being quick in self-adaptationC.having an open mind to new experiencesD.staying away from failures and challenges29.Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?A.It is not so easy to measure personal growth.B.To try and fail on the new road facing the unknown is unavoidable.C.There are only two ways to see a person's growth.D.If you are too shy to take any risks in life,you cannot grow up.30.The best title for this passage should be____.A.Facing New Challenges B.Growth—Product or ProcessC.Two Basic Ways of Growth D.Overcoming Internal Fears阅卷人三、任务型阅读:下面文章有五处需要添加小标题。

And when the singers make mistakes or forget their words, we have to do it again.The instructors are cool though. Matt, the technology instructor, has just sent me a text about a technology app I was trying to find. He's really helpful.Tomorrow we'll finish a song. We've just finished recording the instruments and we've nearly finished recording the voices. After we have done that, we need to do mastering. Have you ever heard of mastering? It's the final step in the recording process. We put the tracks (声道) together and check the sound quality (音质). For example, we need to make sure the volume (音量) is the same right through the song. You don't want to listen to a song while having to turn the volume up and down the whole time!All in all, the course is just great and I've learned lots of new skills.Have you started your school project yet?

Allan wrote the e-mail to _______.A. ask Eva for helpB. give Eva suggestionsC. show his love for musicD. share his experiences in the music courseDShalise Leesfield, a teenager from Australia, is known for her efforts to protect ocean animals.A few years ago, Shalise found out that thousands of her favorite ocean animals were getting hurt every year because of the plastic pollution and fishing lines people left behind. She wanted to become a voice for them and it became her goal to clean up the beaches in her local area to help save the ocean animals. She called for fishing line collection bins to be set up in her local area to reduce (减少) ocean pollution.Shalise pays special attention to the gray nurse shark, an animal that most people wouldn't want to get close to. But Shalise isn't most people. She thinks gray nurse sharks are the sweetest animals she has ever seen. The slow-moving sharks, which like to stay near the sea floor in warm, shallow (浅的) waters, are — for the most part —harmless to humans. But they are in danger. They are losing their homes because ofocean warming and human development, and overfishing (过度捕捞) has led to a huge drop in their population. At present, Shalise is working with government officials (官员) to protect gray nurse sharks by setting up a no fishing area not far from Shalise's home.To encourage more people to take care of the environment, Shalise has created her own environmental movement Shalise's Ocean Support. She has given inspiring talks to hundreds of thousands of adults and children on reducing waste and preventing plastic pollution. She has also started the website Plastic Free Schools, which advises teachers and students to reduce school waste.Shalise believes that young people should understand that saving the environment isn't something just for adults. Anyone, young or old, can make a difference.根据材料内容选择最佳答案。
