Louis Braille was born in the nineteenth century. When he was three years old, an accident at his father’s workshop left him blind. As a young boy, Louis was hard-working and clever. His teachers suggested that he should go to the National Institute for Blind Youths. ①At that time, this was the only school for the blind in France.At the institute, Louis was eager to learn to read and write. To his great disappointment, the few books he found at the institute used raised (凸起的) letters. This method of reading was difficult for the blind, because they had to feel slowly each letter. ②到他们摸到句子末尾时，他们已经忘记开头是关于什么了。
Louis wanted to develop an easier reading system for the blind. His idea of such a system came from Charles Barbier, a French army officer. Barbier had invented a system called “Night Writing”, which was made up of dots and dashes. Soldiers used this system to communicate with one another during the night. Louis adapted (改编) this system for his own use. He produced a simpler system based on dots. For example, “A” is represented by a single dot. Many blind students found this system much easier to use.This came to be known as the “Braille” system. Today, millions of blind people are able to read, thanks to the work of a young blind man.任务一：将文中划线的句子①翻译成汉语。

初三英语阅读理解百战精炼（一）A wallet misplaced during a romantic embrace has been returned to its forgetful owner after 55 years．Two classic car collectors from the US state of Idaho found the wallet after it fell out of the back of a vintage （旧式的）car they were planning to restore．After an Internet search they found and contacted the owner, Glenn Goodlove．Mr．Goodlove said he probably lost the wallet in the back seat of his 1946 Hudson car while kissing a girl when he was home on leave from the US Navy．Jon Beck, 61, and Chuck Merrill, 72, b ought the now-vintage vehicle in Idaho after placing an ad in a local newspaper to buy a classic car in need of restoration．Driving the car home after buying it, the collectors stopped at a restaurant and saw something from below the back seat．"Like a couple of kids, we thought we had a goldmine," Mr．Beck said．Instead, they found some small change - the leather wallet held a $10 bill, Mr．Goodlove's military ID, his social security card, his driver's licen ce and several jewellery receipts from 1952．But they were all in the name of Glenn Putnam．After searching online, Mr．Beck discovered that Mr．Putnam had since changed his name to Glenn Goodlove and moved to San Diego, California．He called Mr．Goodlove, asking to speak to a man who used to drive a '46 Hudson．"There was a silence for about 15 seconds," Mr．Beck told the Twin Falls Times-News．"Then he said, 'Who is that?'" M r．Goodlove, now 75, says he did not even r emember losing the wallet, but the find has brought memories of his youth in Everett, Washington, flooding back．"I could see the house and the car and the town and all the good stuff from living there," he said．"They've been flowing ever since he talked to me．"56．The lost wallet contained all the following EXCEPT ______．A．some money B．some jewelleryC．some receipts D．some cards57．Which of the following happened last?A．The vintage car was purchased．B．An advertisement was placed．C．Mr．Goodlove's name was changed．D．Some personal belongings were found．58．What difference did the wallet make to Glenn?A．He gained unexpected wealth．B．He got back his lost car as well．C．He improved his poor memory a lot．D．He recalled what had long been forgotten．59．The most proper title for the passage is ______．A．A Forgetful Wallet Owner B．Two Car C ollectors and a Good DeedC．Price Paid for Romance D．Lost Wallet Found after 55 Years阅读理解答案：56—59 BDDD初三英语阅读理解百战精炼（二）Writing being largely a self-taught occupation, texts on how to get about it -though great in number- seldom are of much use．You try, and fail．Then try again, and perhaps fail not quite so grievously．Until at last, if you have some gift for it, the failures become less frequent, or at any rate less noticeable．It is this ability to conceal one's defects（瑕疵）that passes, finally, for accomplishment．Along the way there are the discouragements of unkind criticism, outright rejection, nagging insecurity and irregular inability to meet debts．It is uncommon, therefore, to come across a book containing advice of much practical value for anyone toying with the dangerous idea of staring on a writing l ife．A friend recently loaned me such a book, however - one I wish I'd had the luck to read years ago, and which I would commend to any young person bent on making a career of words．It is the autobiography of the English novelist Anthony Trollope, first published in 1883, the year after hi s death．Needing s ome means to support himself, Trollope at age 19 signed on as a junior clerk in the British postal service．He was at his desk at 5:30 each morning to write for three hours．And he remained in the mail service 33 years, long after reputation and prosperity had come to him．Now, what of his advice?1．For safety's sak e, a rm yourself with some other skills, some other line of work to fall back on．That way, failure at writing, though the disappointment may be keen, will not mean utter ruin．2．Do not depend overly much on inspiration．Writing is a craft, which Trollope compared to the craft of shoemaking．The shoemaker who has just turned out one pair of his work sets to work immediately on the next pair．3．Have a story to tell, but, more important t han that, people it with characters who will speak and move as living creatures in the reader's mind．Without memorable characters, story alone is nothing．4．Meet your deadlines．Life is endlessly "painful and troublesome" for writers who can't finish their work on time．5．Do not be inflated by praise．And, above all, do not be crushed by criticism．6．Understand the risks of writing for a living．"The career, when successful, is pleasant enough certainly; but when unsuc cessful, it is of all careers the most painful．"60．This passage mainly di scusses _____．A．the difficulties and risks of making a career of wordsB．the uselessness of instructions in writing manualsC．the autobiography of the 19th century English novelist Anthony TrollopeD．sound advice provided in a Trollope's autobiography61．From the context we can figure out that the phrase "pass for" in Paragraph 3 means _____．A．focus on B．be regarded as C．be equal to D．lie in62．According to the author, writing _____．A．is basically a self-taught occupation and few instructions are of much practical useB．is a "trial and error" process and it does not count whether you have the gift or notC．for a living is the most pleasant of all careers, full of praise and enjoymentD．sometimes provides good hopes of winning public praise and escaping poverty63．From the passage we may infer that the author is most probably _____．A．an instructor of writing B．a writerC．an educator D．a publisher阅读理解答案：60—63DBAB初三英语阅读理解百战精炼（三）Schools have been blamed for giving kids access to soda in vending machines （自动售货机）．B ut new data suggest that school soft drink sales may not be an important factor in how much soda kids drink．In the current issue of The Journal of Nutrition Education and Behavior, researchers compared soda consumption among nearly 500 students in Maine who attended seven schools over two school years．Four of the schools cut back on soft drink availability at the schools, while three of the schools made no changes．All the students were drinking less soda by the end of the study period, but there were no meaningfu l differences in overall soft drink consumption among the different schools．The data suggest that limiting soft drink availabi lity at school doesn't result in meaningful changes in drink consumption patterns．While there were no changes in overall soda consumption, there was a notable shift in diet soda drinking among girls．If the school cut back on soda availability, girls were less likely to drink diet soda, compared to girls in schools that made no changes．The data are the latest to suggest that schools may not play as big of a role in kids' poor eating habits as widely believed．Last year, The American Journal of Public Health p ublished a provocative （引起争论的）study showing that childhood weight problems often get worse in the summer, when kids are out o f school．Data from kindergarteners and first graders found that body mass index （指数）increased two to three times as fast in summer as during the regular school year．Minority children were especially at risk, as were children who were already overweight．Even children who were too thin and needed to gain weight appeared to have better eating habits during the school year．They actually gained more weight while in school andless in the summer．Even so, much of the focus on childhood nutrition and obesity （肥胖）remains in the nation 's schools．Today, The Times reported that even the school bake sale is disappearing as districts impose strict standards on the food served on school grounds．64．What can be learned from The Journal of Nutrition Education and Behavior?A．Soft drink remains a problem in schools．B．Girls tend to consume less soda at school．C．Soft drinks may not be to blame for eating problems．D．Vending machines are not available in all schools．65．Better eating habits may be best developed _____ _．A．during summer B．on schooldaysC．with less soda availability D．in attempts for weight-gain66．The writer voices his opinion by ______．A．conducting scientific research B．comparing two journalsC．criticizing wrong beliefs D．referring to ready data67．Which of the following can best summarize the passage?A．Schools are to bl ame for kids' nutrition problems．B．Schools have made changes for a better reputation．C．Kids' po or eating habit has little to do with schools．D．A lot has been done regarding kids' nutrition and obesity．阅读理解答案：64-67CBDC初三英语阅读理解百战精炼（四）KISSI HEALTH-BEAUTY CENTERWith a busy life and job, pres sure can make you look tired and aged．Kissi Health-Beauty Center gives classes, makes training plans

widely used by celebrities or public figures who wish to publish their autobiographies （自传）．The degree of involvement of the ghostwriter in nonfiction writing projects ranges from minor to significant．Various sources explain the role of the ghostwriter and how competent （能胜任的）writers can get this kind of work．In some cases, a ghostwriter may be called in just to clean up, edit, and polish a rough draft of an autobiography or a "how-to" book．In other cases, the ghostwriter will write an entire book or article based on information, stories, notes, and an outline, interviews with the celebrity or public figure．The credited authors also indicate to the ghostwriter what type of style, tone, or "voice" they want in the book．Celebrity books are usually ghostwritten in the first perso n （I did this and that）or the third person （David Pardon asked the group to recommend someone etc．）．In some cases, such as with some "how-to" books, diet guides, or cookbooks, a book will be entirely written by a ghostwriter, and the celebrity （e．g．a well-known musician or sports star）will be credited as author．Publishing companies use this method to increase the marketability of a book by associating it with a celebrity or well-known figure．In several countries before elections, candidates employ ghostwriters to produce autobiographies for them so as to gain visibility and exposure．Two of John F．Ke nnedy's bo oks were almost entirely ghostwritten．Former President Ronald Reagan also released a ghostwritten autobiography．A consultant or career-switcher may pay to have a book ghostwritten on a topic in their professional area, to establish or enhance their credibility as an "expert" in their field．For example, a su ccessful salesperson hopi ng to become an inspiring speaker on selling may pay a ghostwriter to write a book on sales techniques．Often this type of book is published in the vanity press, which means that the author is paying to have the book published．This type of book is typically given away to potential clients （客户）as a promotional tool, rather than being sold in bookstores．72．A ghostwriter does all the following EXCEPT ______ for his client, according to the passage．A．correct a piece of writing B．write a complete bookC．improve a written article D．interview a celebrity73．By using "this method" （paragraph 3）, the writer means ______ ．A．celebrities may help to increase salesB．celebrities may shift into ghostwritersC．authors may sometimes become celebr itiesD．celebrities may pay publishers for promotion74．It is implied in the passage that ______．A．vanity presses are illegalB．ghostwriters work behind the sceneC．boo ks by ghostwriters don't sellD．celebrities can't do without ghostwriters75．Which of the following is NOT mentioned about ghostwriters?A．People who employ them．B．Responsibilities they take on．C．Challenges their work involves．D．Reasons why they ghostwrite．阅读理解答案：72-75 DABC中考英语阅读理解练习：Christmas EveChristmas Eve means a warm get-together with friends,a candlelight dinner,or perhaps a celebration at a pub（酒馆）for students.But,for Cai Yingjie，the night has a different meaning:helping beggars（乞丐）and the homeless（people without homes）.Cai,who is a student in journalism at Tsinghua,could be found at Beijing's Wudaokou Light Railway Station that special evening. When she saw an old beggar,she took the cold,rough hands of the woman with her warm,clean hands,and gave the woman some warm bread and helped her put on a pair of new gloves（手套）.The woman was surprised for a few seconds,then burst into tears,saying "for the first time I feel respected（尊重）".Cai said,"A beggar's life is very hard. That's why I want to help them."Cai was one of 14 Tsinghua students spending Christmas Eve among the poor.They walked in the cold wind along the streets from 4 to 7 pm on Friday,visiting 15 beggars in Beijing's Haidian District.They brought bread and gloves with them,and stopped to greet beggars and offer them some of the warm food.Each beggar greeted them with a look of surprise."I know the activity can't help much,but it's meant to show our respect and care for beggars and the homeless who have been neglected for so long,"said Sun,head of the group.“And Christmas is a good time for that.”根据以上短文内容，然后从每题所给的四个选项中选择最佳选项。

2020 年中考英语阅读理解专题复习（名师详细剖析解题技巧+实战训练，建议下载保存）（绝对精品文档，价值很高，值得下载打印）一、解题技巧英语阅读理解是综合语言运用能力的一个重要方面，阅读理解题是占篇幅最长的、最耗时间的、生词最多的、单题分值最高的题型，当然，阅读理解也成为了学生们头疼的题型，下面就是初中英语阅读理解难点分析及高分秘诀，希望能助力同学们取得更好的成绩！初中英语阅读理解难点分析1. 单词不认识很多同学都有这种感觉，平时课本上的单词自己都掌握了，为什么遇到阅读还是有很多看不懂呢?这类问题被归结为单词量不够。
要解决这个问题，就是要多背单词，除此之外还要摸索规律。
第一、人名、地名没必要较真。
英语中有大量的词总是大写第一个字母的，而他们也大多属于专有名词，表示人名，地名，事件。
如Adela 、Manchester 、NATO 。
遇到这类词完全可以视若罔闻。
2. 前缀、后缀有规律英语中有些词通过前面或者后面加一些字母，就会变成另一个词。
如，regular-- irregular ，kind--kindness ，前者通过加-ir 变成起否定形式，后者通过在后面加-ness，变成了名词。
归纳起来，一般说前缀变词义（如肯否定），后缀变词性。
只要记住这个原则，平时在学习时有意识地去检验，积累各种加前后缀的形式，就不至于稍加变化就不认识了。
3. 有的词是需要摸索的在阅读题中，有的词是在文章中有提示的，因为英语写作有个潜在的规则，词语若非不得已，不要重复。
秉承这个原则，我们可以在文章的结构平行处找线索。
或是反义词，或是近义词，根据文章的具体情况，同学们不难做出一个比较有针对性的选择。
4. 考纲单词必须熟记。
大纲要求的单词、平时做题总是遇到的单词，生活中会经常遇到的单词，这些词是同学们发挥才智，施展所有做题技巧的基础。
没有特别好的方法，就是有恒心一直背：把单词表上的词分类，单独把不会的列出来，分批背，平时总是遇到又不认识的，用一本笔记本把他们都记下来，天天反复天天背。

If you are a friend of the family, you may drop in for tea without an invitation or telling that you are coming. Very often it is not served at a table. The members of the family and visitors take tea in the sitting-room. Each person has a cup and saucer （托盘）, a spoon and a small plate for bread-and-butter and cake. By the way, do not help yourself to cake first; bread-and-butter first, then cake if there is any.

You should not be upset（不安的）if your English friends don’t invite you home. It doesn’t mean they don’t like you.Dinner parties usually start between 7 and 8 p.m. and end at about 11. Ask your hosts what time you should arrive. It’s polite to bring flowers, chocolates or a bottle of wine as a gift.Usually the evening starts with drinks and snacks. If you want to be very polite, say how much you like the room, or the pictures on the wall. But remember－it’s not polite to ask how much things cost.In many families, the husband sits at one of the table and the wife sits at the other end. They eat with their guests.You’ll probably start the meal with soup or something small, then you’ll have meat or fish with vegetables, and then dessert followed by coffee. It’s polite to finish everything on your plate and to take more if you want it.Did you enjoy the evening? Call your hosts the next day, or write them a short “thank you”letter.

Chinese history says thatthe Chinese had chopsticks as far as the Xia Dynasty(朝代)(about 4, 00 years ago). In the Spring and Autumn Period(时期) copper and iron chopsticks appeared. With the Han Dynasty lacquered(上漆) chopsticks came, followed by gold and silver chopsticks still later. Today we have chopsticks made of plastics. The most expensive are made of part of tusks of elephants and hard green stone.Chopsticks tell Chinese tradition in their way. In ancient (古代的) times the rich used hard green stone or gold chop-sticks to show their wealth(富有). In history many kings used silver chopsticks to take their food to see if it was poisonous(有毒的). It was said that if it was, the silver chopsticks would turn colour. Chopsticks are traditionally given to a daughter when she marries to show that they should have a son very soon, for “Chopsticks”in Chinese is pronounced like “quick a son”!Tianzhu chopsticks from Hangzhou, wooden chopsticks from Shanyang of Shanxi Province, and Beijing’s chopsticks are well-known.Many westerners, businessmen, tourists put aside(一边) their knives and forks in favour(爱好) of chopsticks in China. Chopsticks appeared in the old Chinese story: an old man teaches his sons a lesson by showing how he could easily break a single chopstick but not a number of them. In China, chopsticks are connected with good luck. So on the country’s New Year’s Eve many families will lay out new chopsticks at dinners as a way of making requests for luck.1.

Copper and iron chopsticks appeared in .A. the Xia DynastyB. the Spring and Autumn PeriodC. the Han DynastyD. the Tang Dynasty3. A.

Chinese use chopsticks .A. to lift food to the mouth onlyB. to teach others a lesson onlyC. in many other ways besides taking foodD. in many other ways except taking foodPassage 4Chinese noodles have a long history. They were first mentioned in the Eastern Han Dynasty (朝代)，over 1，900 years ago. At that time，noodles were called “cakes”.They were “cakes”that were boiled in water.From the beginning of the Eastern Han Dynasty to the Qing Dynasty，there were written records about noodles.“Mian”became the name of noodles in the Song Dynasty. Before that，there was no specific name for this kind of food.There are all kinds of noodles，such as cold noodles，warm noodles，and fried noodles. There are also all kinds of noodle-making methods (方法)，such as brushing，pressing，rolling and pulling.China is where all noodles originated (起源)，including the noodles，such as spaghetti (意大利面条)，that we think came from other countries. In the Yuan Dynasty，Marco Polo came to China. He learned to make noodles，and then taught the method when he went back to his country. In 1912，the traditional Chinese method of noodle-making was brought to Japan. Japanese noodles were first called “Dragon Noodles”，meaning food eaten by the Chinese—the descendants (后代) of the Dragon.Among all Chinese noodles，the most special type may be Yi Noodles (伊府面).They were created by a chef in the Qing Dynasty. Yi Noodles are made in both southern and northern China，but Fujian and Jiangxi Provinces are most famous for making Yi Noodles. Yi Noodles can be served dry or with soup. Since Yi Noodles are similar to modern instant noodles (方便面)，they are considered to be the father of modern instant noodles.( )1.“Mian”became the name of noodles in the ________ Dynasty.A.

The Culture of Chinese NoodlesB. The Legend of Instant NoodlesC. The Methods of Noodle-makingD. The History of Yi NoodlesPassage 5In Britain you are allowed to drive a car when you are seventeen. You have to get a special two-year driving license before you can start. When you are learning, someone with a full license always has to be in the car with you because you aren’t allowed to drive the car on the road alone. You don’t have to go to a driving school –--- a friend can teach you. The person with you isn’t allowed to take the money for the lesson unless he’s got a teacher’s license.Before you are allowed to have a full license, you have to take a driving test. You can take a test in your own car, but it has to be fit for the road. In the test you have to drive round for about half an hour and then answer a few questions. If you don’t pass the test, you are allowed to take it again a few weeks later if you want to. In 1970 a woman passed her fortieth test after 212 driving lessons. When you’ve passed your test, you don’t have to take it again, and you are allowed to go on driving as long as you like. Britain’s oldest driver was a man who drove in 1974 at the age of 100.Before 1904 everyone was allowed to drive, even children. Then from 1904 car drivers had to have a license. But they didn’t have to take a test until 1935. On the early days of car driving, before 1878, cars weren’t allowed to go faster than four miles an hour, and someone had to lead the car with a red flag.( )1.

But brother and sister, Sahar and Bobby Green, became young millionaires(百万富翁) when they opened a chain of American-style(美国风味的) coffee shops in the U.K.Having the idea: It started when Sahar took a weekend trip to New York to visit her brother Bobby. One evening, in a Thai restaurant, Sahar told Bobby how much she wished she could buy American-style coffee in London. Bobby suggested they start their own coffee shop. Sahar fell in love with the idea.Doing the Research: Back in London, she spent a whole day on the London subway, getting off the train at different stations to taste the coffee. “It was terrible, and I knew there was a gap in the market.”In November 1995, they opened their first Coffee Republic shop in central London.Making it work: The first year was very difficult. There were problems finding and keeping staff, and British people were not used to the names of American coffees, like latte and macchiato. But being successful was their dream and they were not going to give up. Today, there are over 100 Coffee Republic shops all over the country and the company has revenues(收入) of ￡30 million a year.Advice for others: Sahar has now written a best-selling book about their experience, called Anyone Can Do It! She hopes it will help other young people to start their own businesses. She believes success is 1% idea and 99% hard work,but she says, "If you think you have the energy, then get out and follow your dream."1. What kind of company do these people run(经营)?A.

Weekly film and concert schedules will be put up each Wednesday outside of the student club.In the summer holidays. buses going to the town centre will leave the gate every hour on the half hour during the day. The dining room will serve three meals a day from 7:00 am to 7:00 pm during the week and two meals from noon to 7:00 pm on weekends.

Lifts travel up and down all day long.Sometimes a worker stands in the lift. He or she operates it up and down. In modern lifts there is no worker. The people walk in. They know what floor they want. They push a button and the lift goes to that floor. It is all very fast and easy.Lifts are very important to us. Why? Think about a tall building. Maybe it has twenty floors. Maybe it has fifty or more. Who can walk up all the stairs? Maybe people can climb them one time. Can someone climb thirty floors to anoffice every day? Can small children walk up to their room on the twenty-fourth floor? Can their mother and father carry food up all those stairs? Of course not.We can have high buildings because we have lifts.

During the festival there are all kinds of activities，but the most exciting part is the tomato fight. It takes place at the end of long celebration. You are encouraged to throw tomatoes in the fight. There're many stories about how the festival began. One of the stories goes that during the 1940's，some friends started a tomato fight，while another story is about a local band. Anyway，everyone in Bunol seems to have a different story. Before the tomato fight，there are parades，musical bands，street parties and so on.On the day of the fight，shopkeepers cover their windows and doors in order to keep away from the tomato fight. At the same time，thousands of tourists and local people come to the town square together. Then large trucks full oftomatoes arrive. From the back of the large trucks，a great town band start to throw tomatoes at others. Then the crowds fight back，throwing the tomatoes at anything and anyone. Soon the streets are in the sea of red tomato juice.Everyone is supposed to obey a small number of rules: You must squash(压烂) the tomato before throwing it and you are allowed to throw nothing but tomatoes.It is usually over in less than half an hour.

They are part of their national identity (特性), as well as having fish and chips and complaining about the weather. Recently I read online that they said “sorry”up to eight times a day.After some research I have not been able to find any specific reasons why they are like this. I suppose, for centuries, manners, including how they behave at table and talk to other people have been one of the differences between the lower and upper classes and those manners show their social classes. Britain has traditionally been a quite conservative (保守的) country. There are many articles suggesting that their seemingly polite attitude of always saying “please”and “thank you”is quite false because it is impossible for a person to always feel that he or she wants tothank someone or say “please”.Maybe it is for this reason that people are going one of two ways:they are too polite and hold back their feelings or they are not polite at all and express their true feelings directly. Some British people are tired of pretending that they are always happy and having to please others. But sometimes because they feel they have to be polite, they are prevented from saying what they truly think.( ) 1. What don't the British people often do?A. Eat fish and chips.B. Have no quite good manners.C. Be polite to others.D. Talk about the weather.( ) 2. What do the British people say up to eight times every day?A. Hello.B. Thank you.C. I don't know.D. Sorry.( )3. What does the writer think are the reasons why the British people are so polite?①The upper classes should have good manners.②They have learned much about politeness at school.③They like to hold back their true feelings.④They are not honest at all.A. ①②B. ③④C. ①③D. ②④( ) 4. What does the underlined word “pretending”mean in Chinese?A. 打算B. 假装C. 想象D. 体验( ) 5. What is the best title of this passage?A. British people are too politeB. British people should not be so politeC. How to learn the British mannersD. It's time to change our mannersPassage 11Compared with other European countries，lifestyle in Italy is slower and more relaxing in its own way.

2020年中考英语阅读理解专题练习(含答案)
2020中考英语大阅读组合练有答案一、阅读理解AGetting electricity has always been a problem for the 173 people living in Nuevo Saposoa, a small village in Peru, South America. However, things went from bad to worse in March 2015 after heavy rain damaged the only power cables in the area. The villagers were forced to use oil lamps, which are not only expensive but also dangerous because of the harmful gases they produce.Luckily, according to the researchers at the University of Technology (UT) in Lima, Peru heard about their problem and found a wonderful solution. They made a lamp that can be powered by plants and soil, both of which can be easily found in the Amazonian rainforest where the village lies. The lamp takes energy from a plant growing in a wooden box and uses it to light up an LED light bulb.While that may sound amazing and even impossible, the science behind the idea is quite simple. As plants create their food (using the sun's energy, water and chemicals from the soil), they also produce waste which they return to the soil. Tiny animals in the soil eat this waste and they produce electrons — the building blocks of electrical energy. The UT team put special sticks inside the soil to capture the energy and keep it in the lamp's batteries for later use. The researchers say a single charge can power a 50－watt LED light for two hours — enough time for local villagers to get their evening work done.The university gave ten Plant Lamps to the villagers of Nuevo Saposoa in October 2015. So far, they have been a huge success! Elmer Ramirez, the UT professor who invented the lamp, believes the Plant Lamp could help improve the lives of many people, especially small rainforest communities, 42% of whom have no electricity.()1、What are the problems of oil lamps according to Paragraph 1?A. They are difficult to use and create pollution.B. They are expensive to buy and easily damaged.C. They are difficult to repair and produce little light.D. They are expensive to use and can be bad for health.()2、The underlined word “cables” means “______”in Chinese.A. 电报B．电缆C. 电话D. 网线()3、What is true about the Plant Lamp?A. It can be made by local people.B. It is much easier to use than oil lamps.C. It can produce all the electricity the villagers need.D. The things it needs to make electricity are easy to find.()4、The Plant Lamp's inventor believes it could be the most helpful for ______.A. small rainforest communitiesB. carsC. poor people in citiesD. farmers()15、What is the purpose of the passage?A.

B（民族风情及节日文化）We never had children of our own—just The White Prince—and I can tell you，he was enough of a family for anyone. He walked freely in the park just as we had planned he would，and ran after the deer and the rabbits whenever he felt like it: but he never did learn how to kill for himself. You can't teach old lions new tricks. He lived on deer mostly，and slept on a sofa in our living room—I wouldn't have him inside our bedroom，no matter(无论) how often Bertie asked. You know，I have to draw the line somewhere.Bertie's leg was never cured. When it was bad，he often needed a stick，or me，or the lion to lean on. It pained him a lot，especially on cold and wet days，and he never slept well. On Sundays the three of us would walk around the park together，and Bertie would sit on the top of Wood Hill with his arm around the lion's neck and I would fly kites. You know，I've always loved kites. And the lion liked to break them into pieces.The lion never showed any interest in running away，and even if he'd wanted to，the park wall was too high for an old lion to jump over. Wherever Bertie went，he wanted to go too. And if ever Bertie went out in the car，then he'd sit by me in the kitchen，and watch me with those great amber eyes，listening all the while for the sound of Bertie's car coming up the path to the front of the house.The lion was getting older. And he became weak in his legs and could see very little. He spent his last days sleeping at Bertie's feet. When he died，we buried(埋葬) him at the bottom of the hill. Bertie wanted it that way so he could always see the place from the kitchen window. I suggested Bertie plant a tree in case(以防) he forgot where the lion was. “I will，but he should get more than a tree，” Bertie said.Bertie was sad for weeks，months after the lion died. There was nothing I could do to cheer him or even comfort him. He would sit for hours in his room，or go off on long walks by himself. He seemed so shut away inside himself，so distant(遥远的). Try as I did，I could not reach him.…(Adapted from The Butterfly Lion)( )1. What did Bertie's wife mean by saying “I have to draw the line somewhere”？A. She would like the lion to sit by her.B. She didn't except Bertie to keep the lion.C. She didn't allow the lion to go into the bedroom.D. She wanted to stop the lion walking freely in the park.( )2. Which description about the lion is TRUE according to the story?A. He seldom broke kites into pieces.B. He could jump over the park wall.C. He became weak in his legs and eyes.D. He could kill deer or rabbits for himself.( )3. What can be inferred(推断) from the story?A. Bertie's leg was badly hurt by the lion.B. The lion wanted to leave Bertie's family.C. Bertie's wife would plant a tree for the lion.D. Bertie loved the lion more than his wife did.( )4. The story is mainly about ________.A. Bertie and his wife—the owners of the lionB. tricks that Bertie and his wife taught the lionC. the habits that the lion formed in Bertie's familyD. the last days the lion spent with Bertie and his wife二、任务型阅读Dear Annie,I’ve never written a letter to a newspaper before, I have just never felt the need to do such a thing.
