He tried to imagine how serious the drought(旱灾) was for the students at that school. However, he realized it was more serious than he had imagined when he saw the sign “DON’T wash clothes with water, or you will be punished.”Because of drought, the school has been short of water for a long time. Each student has only one bottle of water every day for washing and drinking. The drought has made the poor students much poorer.Mike is a student from Beijing Chaoyang Foreign Language School. He took part in the school’s Rain & Bow Project from April 2 to 10.The project idea came from Mike’s principal（负责人）. One day, she heard a sad story about Li Guoxian, a poor girl in the Mashan School, who stopped going to school because of drought. The principal started this project to help the school. In one day, 3,000 students made over 10,000 donations of water, books and clothes.Mike and other four students went to the Mashan School and gave the donations with five teachers. They visited poor families, made surveys and had classes at the school.Mike also found the school’s learning environment quite poor. “The blackboards and playground are too shabby to use,”he said.“Besides, there really aren’t enough teachers. A teacher has to teach both history and English, and even the cook is a class teacher. ”Although life isn’t easy, students at the school have a positive attitude(积极的态度）towards life and they are quite willing to learn. That’s what moved 16-year-old Chen Shi most.“They sang their songs together as usual before class every afternoon. After class, the students asked us to tell them things about Beijing and our studies,” Chen Shi said, “You can see the passion(热情)in them. I believe it will make a difference. Th eir futures will be bright. ”36.Which school does Mike study in？A. the Mashan School.B. a school in Beijing.C. a school in Guizhou.D. a foreign school.37. The underlined word “shabby” means_________ in Chinese.A. 黑乎乎的B.光滑的C.破旧的D.不平整的38. Who started the school’s Rain & Bow Project？A. The principal of the foreign language school.B. Mike, a 16-year-old boy.C. Chen Shi, a student from Beijing.D. Li Guoxian, a poor girl in Guizhou.39. What can we infer from the passage?A. Students at the Mashan School could use water to wash clothes every day.B. Mike and his classmate were ready to accept the over 10,000 donations.C. It didn’t rain for a long time in Li Guoxian’s hometown.D. Li Guoxian stopped going to school because of her poor family.40.Why did Chen Shi think the children at the Mashan School would have a bright future?A. Because they learnt to save water.B. Because they had enough good teachers.C. Because they had support from Beijing.D. Because they were positive and willing to learn.CRobots come in many shapes and sizes. But most have one thing in common. They are built to help people. Lately engineers have been developing new kinds of robots. These high-tech machines are designed to lend a hand everywhere from hotels to disaster areas."Robots help people by making their lives easier, safer, and more fun," says engineer Omar.Since November, a robot named Pepper has been on the job at Mandarin Oriental Hotel in Las Vegas, Nevada. When guests have questions or need directions, they can ask Pepper. They can also use the robot's touch screen to find the information they need. Pepper is able to talk with guests and make them happy with stories too. It can even tell what kind of mood they are in."Pepper provides our guests with information in an exciting and new way." says the hotel manager Donald Bowman.For a kid, being in the hospital can be boring and even scary. But a small robot called NAO is helping to make hospital stays easier. It was designed to keep people company.A Tennessee doctor named Phil Parker bought a NAO robot three years ago. He programmed(为……编制程序) it to talk to and play with young patients. He brought it to hospitals to help sick kids. When kids get medical tests, NAO explains what is going on. The robot also reads to kids and plays games with them like Rock, Scissors ,Cloth (石头剪刀布).“The robot gets many kids to smile for the first time since they were in hospital,” Parker says.Other robots are designed to help to save people in dangerous areas. For example, disaster areas can be full of broken stones and other dangers. Engineers in Japan are planning to build a robot called E2-DR to go into those areas and search for people who are hurt.41. A robot can do the following for us except ________according to the passage.A. telling its own moodB. reading to kidsC. entering the dangerous areas to save peopleD. Answering guests’ questions42.In Mandarin Oriental Hotel, guests can_________.A. feel happy with the stories about PepperB. know whether the robot is in good mood or notC. experience an exciting and new way to get the informationD. only get information simply by touching the robot's screen43.According to Phil Parker, the robot NAO in the hospital_________.A. is used to help doctors treat patientsB. brings much joy to many young patientsC. gives young patients some medical testsD. is not as useful as expected44.From the last paragraph(最后一个段落), we can learn that__________.A. robots will play a lively role in everything in our lifeB. E2-DR has proved to be very useful in rescue(营救) practiceC. human rescue workers will no longer be neededD. rescue work in dangerous areas will become easier45. Which of the following can be the best title of this passage?A. Robots: The Future World MasterB. Robots: CleverestC. Robots: Human HelpersD. Robots: Our Best Friend第Ⅱ部分非选择题（共60分）四、阅读表达阅读下列短文，根据短文内容及字数要求回答问题（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）（每题答案不超过7个词）Wang Xiaohong is 7 years old. Her parents gave her an iPad as a presentfor her birthday.

This is serious forsuch a young girl.Many children in China are facing the same problem: tablet(平板电脑) and iPad using is bringing problems to their eyesight. The problem is so common that newspapers even call the iPad the “No. 1 killer of children’s eyesight”.“There are about 30 shortsighted(近视的) children coming every day,” said Hu Dali, an eye doctor at Guiyang Aier Eye Hospital. “Half of those children have poor eyesight because they have played with phones and iPads for too long.”Doctors and scientists say children’s eyesight is not yet fully developed and their eyes get tired more easily. The screen of an iPad uses a very bright LED backlight. If children look at an iPad screen too much, their eyes do not have time to rest. This will make their eyesight worse over time.Doctors advise that users should hold their iPads between 40-60 centimeters away from them. The brightness of the screen should be comfortable for children. Children had better use iPads for less than one hour every day.46. What serious problem did Wang Xiaohong have a month later?47.

People can't live without water. So it's important for everyone to save water. Here are some tips for saving water.Indoors:● Turn the tap off while you are brushing your teeth, washing your hands, doing dishes, taking a shower and so on.● Catch the cold water that comes out of the tap or shower while you are waiting for the hot water. Use it to water plants or wash your toilet.● Don't wash clothes too often. When you use the washing machine, make sure there is notonly a pair of pants in it.Outdoors:● Water the garden and grass at night. This gives water more time to get into the earth without evaporation from the day's heat.● Plant small trees under big trees. This will help stop evaporation and gives some shade(树阴) for your plants. You can also plant a shade garden under trees.( ) 26. It's important for everyone to save water because .A. 70% of the earth is waterB. the water on the earth is cleanC. only a small part of the water is cleanD. we need it to water plants( )27.

If you don't slow down to enjoy it, you will definitely misssomething. I've got two young boys and I have been an elementary school teacher up until recently. Days were busy. Get the boys ready for school and daycare. Work a full day. Pick them up after school. Cook dinner. Do housework. Get the boys into bed and before I knew it, the day was over! Time for me to hit the sack and do it all over again the next day!Don't get me wrong. I wouldn't change anything. The boys are great. Everyone just gets stuck in these daily things and forget about fun until that one vacation week a year. Everyone needs a break and should have fun all year round. Just set aside one day a week and just go and do something. There are so many fun family things to do that won't use up your money. You don't need to go to that theme park and spend a month's salary on one day. A nice day at the park or museum can entertain everyone. There are nearby state parks that you can easily run out to and camp in for under $50 for the whole family. How about family movie night? What about family video game night? There are so many ideas that folks seem to forget about. I encourage you to take a look at Modern Frugal Family. You can find all sorts of fun stuff to do with the family and search for all sorts of bargains. I know you will come up with some great ideas. If you do, you can share them with everyone. So get out there and enjoy life!( ) 29. In the first paragraph, the author mainly talks about her ___________.A．interests B．daily life C．schoolwork D．family gathering ( ) 30.

According to the author, __________ .A．it's no use trying to change our situationB．parents shouldn't push their children too hardC．people should have fun more often in their lifeD．parents today spend too much money on their childrenCIt took 100 years, but finally, scientists proved Albert Einstein’s theory that gravitational waves（引力波）exist.The waves were predicted as part of Einstein’s general theory of relativity nearly 100 years ago. It was the theory of the physics behind the workings of our world and the universe.The idea was that the waves are like waves in space, caused by some of the violent and energetic processes in the universe. For example, two black holes crashing into each other.Now a group of scientists, including ones from Caltech, MIT and the LIGO Scientific, Collaboration finally found the gravitational waves.David Reitze is the executive director of the LIGO observatory at Caltech.“We have detected gravitational waves. We did it!”What are these gravitational waves?Well, imagine throwing a rock into a pond. When the rock hits the flat surface of the water, it creates waves. Space-time is like the surface of the water. So that means gravitational waves are like the waves moving out from where the rock hits the water.It might be hard to understand, but those gravitational waves expand and contract space and time as they move through space. And when they get to the Earth, the waves pass through, and they contract and expand the planet as the waves go by.It was Einstein who said these gravitational waves should be observable.But these are not huge waves. They are very, very small, which is why it took so long to find them. You cannot see them with your eyes. They are smaller than the size of an atom.How did the scientists find them?They used a giant scientific tool called LIGO, which stands for the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory. The billion-dollar LIGO project is two L-shaped observatories. One is in Louisiana and the other in Washington state.For years, scientists have been watching two black holes in another faraway galaxy. The two were spinning around each other, moving closer and closer together. When they finally crashed into each other, it was with such power and force that gravitational waves rang throughout the universe, like a giant bell.Those waves, traveling at the speed of light, finally reached the Earth, some l. 3 billion yearslater. They are the same waves that the scientists announced this past week.So, what does this discovery mean?Our understanding of the heavens changed dramatically.( )32. What are gravitational waves about?A. About the workings of the universe.B. About how black holes form.C. About how the universe began.D. About how the waves form on the surface of water.( )33. The underlined sentence “two black holes crashing into each other” is used to express ________.A. how the universe begins to existB. how gravitational waves formC. how new black holes appearD. how the earth is affected( )34. Why are gravitational waves difficult to find ?A. Because they are too small.B. Because they are far away.C. Because they seldom occur.D. Because they have disappeared.( )35. With the discovery of gravitational waves, we’ll ___________.A. create a new worldB. make full use of gravitational wavesC. understand the universe in a new wayD. avoid being hit by black holes三、词汇运用（共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分）A）根据句意，用所给单词的正确形式填空，每空一词。

[2019][北京市初三二模英语分类汇编--阅读理解C、D篇]
2019年北京初三英语二模分类汇编--阅读理解C、D篇1.2019北京西城区初三二模CResearch has already suggested that opening a book may help improve brain function and reduce stress.Now,a team led by Joanna Sikora of theAustralian National University is looking into thebenefits of growing up around a book-filledenvironment;the researchers’new study suggests thathomes with libraries can arm children with skills thatlast well into adulthood.The study looked at data from160,000adults from 31countries,including the United States,Australia,Turkey and Chile. Participants(参与者)filled out surveys with the Programme for the International Assessment of Competencies,which measures proficiency(水平)in three areas:literacy(读写能力),numeracy and information communication technology.People,25to65years old,were asked to tell how many books were in their house when they were16years old.The research team was interested in this question because home library size can be a good sign of“book-oriented socialization”.Participants were able to choose from a given range of books that included everything from“10or less”to“more than500”.The surveys,which were taken between2011and2015,showed that the average(平均的)number of books in participants’childhood homes was115, but that number varied widely from country to country.The average library size in Norway was212books,for example;in Turkey,it was27.In all, however,it seemed that more books in the home was linked to higher proficiency in the areas tested by the survey.The effects were most marked when it came to literacy.Growing up with few books in the home resulted in below average literacy levels.Being surrounded by80books raised the levels to average,and literacy continued to improve until libraries reached about350books,at which point the literacy rates leveled off.The researchers saw similar things when it came to numeracy;the effects were not as pronounced with information communication technology tests,but skills did improve with increased numbers of books.So,what does the new study tell us?Take,for example,an adult who grew up with hardly any books in the home,but went on to get a university degree compared to an adult who grew up with a large home library,but only had nine years of schooling.The study found that both of their literacy levels were almost the same.“So,literacy-wise,bookish childhood makes up for a good deal of educational advantage,”the study authors write.Further research is needed to decide exactly why exposure to(沉浸在) books in childhood encourages valuable skills later in life,but the study offers further evidence to suggest that reading has a powerful effect on the mind.And so home library size might be important because,as the researchers note,“children emulate(模仿)parents who read.”27.The second paragraph is mainly about______.A.what the study found outB.how the study was carried outC.who were invited to the researchD.why the researchers did the study28.The phrase“leveled off”in Paragraph4probably means“______”.A.backed to averageB.started fallingC.continued to growD.stopped rising29.The example in Paragraph5shows______.A.the disadvantage of having little school educationB.the effect of having a home library in childhoodC.the necessity of raising people’s literacy levelD.the importance of getting a university degree30.What can we learn from the passage?A.The study explained why bookish childhood encouraged valuable skills.B.Adults benefit more from a home library than children.C.Home library size has little to do with numeracy level.D.Parents who love reading benefit children a lot.DRobotic PetsI am going to predict how people are going to be withfuture technology in their life.I think robotic pets are goingto be increasingly popular as the technology develops.At least I am going to build what I think is a strong case for this prediction.From a neurological point of view,I do not see anything in the way to people bonding(纽带)fully with robotic pets.The human brain can attach (赋予)emotions to things and respond to emotional signaling.Being alive is simply not required.From how objects move,our brains infer that they are able to act with their own will and purpose.If they move in a way that cannot be explained simply as passive(被动的)movement,then they must be moving on their own.Therefore,they can connect to the emotional centers in our brains.We either fear them,or love them,or hunger for them,or whatever.We can respond emotionally with cartoon creatures,with animals, and yes,even with robots.Our brains treat things that act alive as if they are alive—no different.One of the opposite points that people often bring up is that they love the way their pets behave,not just look.This gets to AI,which has been developing at a fast pace.We have AI that can beat world masters in chess and go.I have no doubt we can build AI to mimic(模仿)the behavior of dogs and cats,if not now then probably within a generation.So we will have no problem fully emotionally bonding with a robotic pet. But this doesn’t mean we would prefer such a pet.One argument against robotic pets is that they will be expensive compared to a live pet—but this is likely not to be true forever.Living pets need to be fed,and they need at least basic medical care,and they may need to be boarded at times.Also,people spend hundreds of dollars on pets,or thousands of dollars on pure bred species.Robotic pets will finally cost less in total than biological ones.But let’s get to the real reason people will prefer robotic pets at last.The possibilities for building in useful technology are endless.An advanced robotic pet could also serve as a defensive and alarm system.You could recharge your cell phone off their batteries.They could be a walking cell phone.They would be excellent companions for the elder,affording them more independence for longer.This in itself would be a huge cost saving—anything that keeps people out of a nursing home is cost effective.Imagination is really the only limitation,once you have the basics of a working robot.When the technology crosses a certain limit,this will be a thing.Future generations may consider keeping a living animal in your home as primitive(原始的)and cruel.They may have a point.31.Why can we bond fully with robotic pets?A.They can respond to our reactions.B.They can move actively and freely.C.Our brains can treat things differently.D.Our brains can attach emotions to them.32.According to the passage,we know that______.A.robotic pets will be cost effective in the futureB.present AI can mimic all the behaviors of live petsC.the elder prefer to have robotic pets as companionsD.the young think it primitive and cruel to keep live pets33.The writer probably agrees that______.A.live pets will serve us betterB.it is easier to keep live pets at homeC.technology ensures robotic pets a bright futureD.imagination limits the development of robotic pets2.2019北京丰台区初三二模CThe Palace Museum has always been a must-see for Chinese and foreign tourists,which is the cultural treasure of China.Since 2018,more than 80percent of the Forbidden City has been opened to the public and the number of tourists increased rapidly andreached to 1.7million.In recent years,the Palace Museum has drawn more and more people’s attention by its fresh new events.From new media tools to the creative cultural products,from grand activities to attractive TV shows,the Palace Museum has achieved amazing success.To keep pace with the times,the old palace is updating (更新)in many fashionable ways.Since 2014,to deliver the image of ―A Warm Forbidden City to the public,new media tools of the Palace Museum have changed a lot.Its Weibo keeps showing the palace’s charm (魅力)by posting its beautiful photos of four seasons and lovely cats.From the coldness of history to the style of common touch,the image undoubtedly won more favors.Museum–themed products,such as tapes,fans,notebooks and lipsticks,are designed in fashionable ways.They often cause a buzz on Chinese social networks.The sales approached (接近)CNY 1.5billion in 2017.―These creations provide a new view for understanding the palace and traditional culture,said a user on Weibo.The increased income,without raising the ticket price,also made it possible for the Palace Museum to hold 60,000educational activities in 2018.The light festival is another idea.It was the first time the Palace Museum was lit up at night and opened to the public for the Lantern Festival.The light show,which provided audiencewith full sensory (感官的)experiences,has wowed the crowd.Therefore,people have a new choice tocelebrate the Lantern Festival besides watching the Gala Show on TV at home.For those who have been to the museum before,a TV show about the Forbidden City evokes (唤起)their interests in visiting it again.As an audience said,―Shang Xin Le Gu Gong makes me realize that there are always unknown areas to explore in the Forbidden City.In another TV show,The Nation’s Greatest Treasures,nine leading museums come together to introduce the treasures they look after.This has further raised people’s interests in more museums.These TV shows have brought an instant cultural heat and greatly increased the number of visitors in these museums.Nation stays alive when its culture stays alive.Through these ways,the Palace Museum and other museums not only carry forward their own history,but also call on people’s love for traditional culture.After all,it is the memory and symbol of a country’s history and the precious wealth of all mankind.27.The Palace Museum has achieved success in recent years,because it has _____.A.opened the whole area to the publicB.presented tradition in modern waysC.posted advertisements on televisionD.attracted more and more foreigners28.From the passage,we can learn about the Palace Museum that _______.A.its Weibo shows Chinese history in a serious way B.it offers a new choice to enjoy the light show on TV C.its TV shows attract more people to pay a visit again D.it earns more by raising the price of products and tickets 29.What’s the main purpose of the passage?A.To draw people’s attention to value the traditional culture.B.To encourage other museums to develop in the same way.C.To explain reasons why the Palace Museum updates itself.D.To introduce new ways to learn about the Palace Museum.DAre you often in mind-wandering,enjoying the state of having nothing to do,or just standing and staring?Did you dream to get good grades and devote yourself to the tasks for a few days,however,your dream fell to zero as a TV play attracted you some day?Do we need to have a dream?The founder of Wal-Mart,Sam Walton, says high expectation is the key to everything.The important thing in life is to have a great aim and the determination to achieve it,J.W.Goethe,the famous German poet and dramatist says.Successful people suggest that those who believe in the beauty of their dreams tend to have more self-motivation (自我激励)to keep on trying and enjoying the beauty of life.Thomas Edison dreamed to light the world by the power of electricity. He tried over2,000different materials before he was able to create a market light bulb.It’s hard for many of us to imagine spending so much time and energy in exploring a possibility,which is most likely to come to a dead end but for Edison,who sticked to his dream,it was just an enjoyable process.As Edison says,the most certain way to succeed is always to try just one more time.Helena,a17-year-old girl,dreamed to build the magnificent sculpture (雕塑)in the world.She devoted herself to observing faces around her and making sculptures.She was woken up by her dream every morning rather than her alarm clock.She said she became passionate(有热情的)out of her dream,which kept her going through any difficulties and found pleasure in it.You can benefit a lot from your dream,but do you know the behavior that is necessary to fulfill your dream?You have a dream and you truthfully want good grades.However,you can’t help playing on the smart phone and let go your homework.Or you rush through it so that you can get back to the smart phone.This is the case when the present-desire to play on your smart phone beats the will to reach the future goal,which is called immediate gratification.If you always behave like this,you may lose the chance to meet with your dream.Your dream can inspire you.It can give you motivation to work hard.It helps you to focus on a path so that you are moving forward.Meanwhile,you need to set a long-term goa l and work for it.The key to dream is concentrating on small wins,which gradually lead to genuine confidence. You will enjoy the whole process of realizing your dream a s well a s involving yourself into the passion of the coming life.30.The writer talks about Helena and Edison to_____.A.suggest good ways of realizing your dreamB.show effects of dream on self-motivationC.stress the great differences between themD.share the experiences of their success31.The expression“immediate gratification”in Paragraph5probably means___.A.enjoying pleasures here and nowB.following dreams without delayC.becoming creative in a flashD.avoiding failure all the time32.According to the passage,the writer may agree that_____.A.it’s necessary for you to deal with difficulties quicklyB.it’s better for you to work hard than to have passionC.setting big goals will make differences for your lifeD.having your dream can help you take things light33.Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?A.Keep Calm and Dream OnB.Dream Bigger,Think DeeperC.Dream a Dream and Step by StepD.Follow Your Heart,Live Your Dream3.2019北京昌平区初三二模CThe biggest influence that technology has on family time is the change of it.People used to spend more time with their family members before. Nowadays,with children(and the parents,too)spending more time texting, watching movies and television,playing video games,and listening to music, when will the family find time to bond(培养感情)and create lasting memories together?Far too often we don’t pay more attention to making time for members of our own family.By the end of a long day at work or school,members of the family want to relax.And now that technology use is widespread across the country,normally our“relaxing”is also known as spending time on smart phones.Not only is the amount of family time affected(影响)by technology, but also the quality.Technology can affect the quality in different ways.For example,family members can be distracted(使分心)by their phones while trying to play a board game together,which wouldn't have happened if the phone didn’t exist in the first place.If“family time”means everyone sitting in the same room while playing online,what value is there?Personal interaction is key to time well spent with loved ones.Families don’t even need to have something to do while together.If they simply ask each other how their day is and play a simple game together,family bonds will get better.When technology becomes a focus,quality(有质量的)time for families goes down,which in turn affects everyone’s ck of family interaction causes the family’s unity to weaken,and each of the family will be influenced in different ways.Children are more likely to develop unhealthy habits when they fail to interact with their parents.Meanwhile,parents who put work before family or pay less attention to their children’s growth are more likely to face bad parent-child relationship.67percent of American teens say they want to spend more time with their parents,which is rather sad. Therefore,this passage is meant to show how technology has negatively influenced families.27.According to Paragraph3,we can know that technology__________.A.makes us put work before familyB.affects the quality of family timeC.brings us convenience and happinessD.affects the family time in the same way28.What’s Paragraph4mainly about?A.Simple games are helpful for family bonds.B.Families don’t need to do anything together.C.Personal interaction is important for family time.D.Staying in the same room is necessary for family.29.What’s the writer’s attitude towards the technology influence?A.Puzzled.B.Worried.C.Surprised.D.Satisfied.DWhen I was in school,our classes were always divided into smaller groups for reading guidance.These reading groups were named after animals. The high-achieving readers were known as the birds,and the kids with the most difficulty were the mice.I was a bird,and my best friend Bobby was amouse.I can still remember how uncomfortable itwas to hear Bobby read sentences out and hecould only read several words in the sentence.This is how we usually think of a reading“problem”—the inability to decode symbols(解码)and change them into spoken language.Kids with this problem are hard to miss.But there may be many other kids in the classroom who are also poor readers,but in a very different way that’s often invisible.These kids read correctly and fluently from the page—they might even be birds—but they don’t understand most words from their mouths.Charles Hulme and his team of York University have been exploring this hidden reading problem,and they’ve come to believe that it may be at its heart a spoken language problem.In one study,they found8-and9-year-old children who had reading comprehension(理解)problems.Then,some got help in reading and understanding written text,and others got only help with spoken language and still others got a mix of both.They all got90minutes of help every week for20weeks,after which their skills were tested.They were also tested again almost a year later,to see if any improvements existed.All three groups showed improvements in comprehension soon after the training,but those trained only in spoken language showed great improvements into the following year—much more than the others.What’s more,the improvements from the spoken language training and the less improvements from a combined(融合的)way appeared to come from improvements in vocabulary.In other words,the spoken language training seems to have resulted in a generalized improvement in the kids’ability to understand language.Reading comprehension is important for success in life,more than ever in history.Reading difficulties create educational difficulties,which in turn lead to social and economic disadvantage,including joblessness.Kids won’t be asked to read out loud in the real world,but they will be expected to know what they’ve read.30.__________are called“mice"in the writer’s class.A.Students who like animalsB.Students who have good scoresC.Students who are in small groupsD.Students who do worst in reading31.What does the underlined word“invisible”probably mean?A.Cannot be tried.B.Cannot be seen.C.Cannot be hidden.D.Cannot be taught.32.What does the result of Charles Hulme’s research tell us?A.Scientists should observe long-term influence.B.A hidden reading disability have been explored.C.Reading difficulties create educational difficulties.D.Speaking training improves comprehensive ability.33.Which is the best title for the passage?A.Is language training meaningful?B.Is language training easy or not?C.Is reading comprehension a hard problem?D.Is reading comprehension a hidden disability?4.2019北京门头沟区初三二模CIs It Better to Read Books or Listen to Them?We often think how fast we learn something depends on how smart we are.If your brain is taking in material quickly,you’re clever;if not,well,thatdoesn’t say great things about your IQ.But scienceshows context (上下文)and technique (技术)actually play a big role in how fast we learn,and even small changes –like the way you use to read –can make a big difference.Audio (音频的)books have plenty of advantages:you can enjoy them anywhere,even in the car,and notprinting books saves trees.Poor readers also often find them more interesting.But according to the latest research,if your goal isn’t to pass the time in traffic,but instead to learn something difficult,you should choose a physical book.In a recent opinion piece in the New York Times,psychology (心理学)professor Daniel T.Willingham mentioned a 2010study where 48students either read or listened to an article about child psychology.Although the students spent the same amount of time with their material and did about the same number of distracting (分散注意力)activities while they absorbed the information,they scored very differently on a 10-item quiz later.Generally,the readers scored 81percent but while the listeners scored 59percent.Why does listening vs reading material have such a great effect on learning?Willingham explains that first,most of us read more slowly than we listen (especially when pausing and rereading),and when you’re trying to absorb new information,slower seems to be better.“About 10to 15percent of eye movements during reading are actually regressive –meaning the eyes aregoing back and re-checking,”he explains to TIME.“This happens very quickly…”Second,books offer visual cues (可视线索)that help our brains organize and understand new information.Things like chapter breaks,subheadings,and lists help us in making sense of the material and understanding how it fits together.You lose all that when you go the audio way.The bottom line is simple:Don’t feel shame about passing your time in traffic with an audio book.However,be aware of audio’s limitations when it comes to studying,and seriously consider choosing good old-fashioned reading instead.27.According to the writer,you should choose to read a book to ______.A.take in the information B.pass the time in traffic C.learn something difficult anize new information 28.A “physical book”in Paragraph 2probably means “______”.A.an audio book B.a book about physics C.a book about computer D.a book made of paper or cloth 29.What can we learn from the passage?A.To read a book is better than to listen to it.B.Readers are cleverer than listeners.C.Reading books is a good way to pass time.D.How fast we learn depends on how smart we are.DThe UK should start producing lab-grown meat to help solve the world’s food crisis(危机),according to a research group.A report by the Adam Smith Institute says meat made in a laboratory is better for the environment and would be cheaper than meat produced from farm animals.Need for meat around the world is expected to increase by70%by the year2050.So could people be eating lab-grown meat in the future?Usually animals like cows are killed to produce the meat that people eat,but scientists have found a way to make meat in a laboratory without killing any animals.Animals are made up of cells(细胞).Scientists worked out how to take cells from an animal,like a cow,and multiply(繁殖)them in a dish.In the end from one tiny cell,tens of billions of cells can be grown.These join together to form meat.In2013,the first hamburger grown this way was eaten in London.It took a year to produce and cost over£200,000to make.Dr Mark Post,who created the world’s first hamburger from meat grown in a lab,told the BBC it “tastes exactly the same as the meat we know”.When two food critics(评论家)tried the burger in2013,one said it was“close to meat”and another said it tasted like a real hamburger.It’s not just beef that is being created; companies are also working on other meat like turkey and chicken.The Adam Smith Institute says moving away from the present way meat is produced would help reduce greenhouse emissions(排放)by up to96% and free up99%of the land used in farming worldwide.They also think it will reduce chances of food poisoning(中毒)because the meat is grown under such controlled conditions.Jamie Hollywood from the Adam Smith Institute also told the BBC lab-grown meat could be a lot cheaper.He says the price has gone down in five years from£200,000to£8,so in the future it could be even less.30.The main idea of Paragraph3is______.A.what lab-grown meat isB.how lab-grown meat is madeC.what lab-grown meat tastes likeD.when people can eat lab-grown meat31.The writer mentions two food critics in Paragraph4to show that______.b-grown meat

lot of problemsb-grown meat tastes better than animal meatC.making lab-grown meat will cost too much moneyb-grown meat can help solve the world’s food crisis33.Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?A.Could lab-grown meat be the future of food?B.What does lab-grown meat taste like?C.When could people eat lab-grown meat?D.What is lab-grown meat and how is it made?5.2019北京房山区初三二模CEnvyIt's a familiar feeling.Your friend has made the team for Saturday's big game,and you take certain pleasure in telling him you can't he there to watch him play.You smile,but that voice in you asks,why him and not you?Envy is an uncontrollable emotion that can hurt our relationships.Envy is a fault that we like to keep secret.It raises its ugly head when we focus on what we want but don't own now,or we may even wish for and take pleasure in someone losing it.Feelings of unfairness are part of being human,but when you focus on them,you can never get out of your dark emotions.And that makes you feel bad.So is there a solution?Here are some strategies you can use when you find yourself feel envious:Don't fight with your feelings.When you fight with your feelings,they will fight back.So just accept,"I feel envious."Train yourself to celebrate others'success.Changing your behavior is usually the best way to change your thoughts,feelings and aim for real pleasure in the achievements and good fortune of others.When someone in your life experiences some kind of success,send them an email or a card. Cheer on your friend when he scores that goal.Then go out and do something special,and make you wonderfully proud of yourself.Make peace with yourself,accept the gifts which make you special.Well, why not turn envy on its head,and make it become the encouragement you need for self-improvement?The best thing against envy is not to compete where you can't shine,but to do your best where you can.Then find out exactly the situations and qualities in others that start your envy.Is it someone's singing voice,their grades,or their new shoes?Envy shows us the things we'd like to have,so make a plan to earn what's important to you.Start a training program.Sign up for a night class.Give up a treat or two,and startTry some of these tips when you feel envious next tune.27.The writer gives an example in paragraph1to.A.explain the reasonB.introduce charactersC.lead in the topicD.list sonic problems28.The second paragraph is mainly about.A.the difference between envy and encouragementB.the description of emotion about envyC.the suggestions about dealing with envyD.the influence of envy on health29.What can we learn from the passage?A.We should fight with envy directly.B.We should celebrate others’envy feeling.C.We can change envy into encouragement.D.We can start a training course about envyDAs summer comes near,manychildren are really happy to forget aboutschool for a few months.The summervacation is the best time for students.Theycan go outdoors and have fun.They can goto big cities to go sightseeing,or go to thecountryside to enjoy the beauty of nature.However,studies have found thatchildren forget between one and three months'worth of school learningduring the summer months.Spelling and math abilities are seriouslyinfluenced because of the long vacation,while reading is not reallyinfluenced by the time off.The most probable reason for this is that mostchildren usually read at least outside of the classroom,whether newspapers,magazines,books,or video game guides.However,their math and spellingskills only get exercised in the school setting.The first summer vacation appeared because the farm children have timeoff to help work in the fields in the high growing season,but this reason is nolonger valid since fewer kids actually work on farms today.Some cities inthe United States,such as Los Angeles.Have moved to a year-round schoolcalendar,which will bring less influence in their studies.Most cities still usethe normal nine and a half-month calendars.To improve skills and to have agood level of preparation,experts suggested trips to museums,summercamps,and visits to libraries to keep kids active and interested the wholesummer.There are other educational systems that provide vacations while stillkeeping students'skills in a high level.For example,in Japan students attendclass for seven weeks continuously,followed by two weeks of vacation.Thiscontinues go through all the year.In Italy,students attend class six days perweek,but finish at1:30p.m.each day,so that school does not manage theirlife the way that it does in America.Educational experts fear that the three-month summer vacation stops thecontinuity of learning.Just as students get used to new ways in reading,writing,or critical thinking skills,then the summer vacation comes,they shutdown for a long period.When they go back to school after the vacation,theytake up to two months to return to their previous level of understanding.Andso the debate continues:whether to continue the present vacations or to seekchanges.30.The students'abilities of the spelling and math are influenced in thesummer vacation because they.A.take the summer vacation too seriouslyB.do little work of math or spellingC.don't like spelling and mathD.have to help work in the fields31.What can we learn from the passage?A.Students may keep reading in summer vacations.B.The United States has stopped summer vacations.C.The summer vacations have no influence on students'skills.D.Now most children still work on farm in summer vacations.32.What does the underlined word"valid"in the second paragraph probablymean?A.acceptableB.aimlessC.imaginableD.valueless33.What is the best title for the passage?A.Do we need new Educational Systems?B.Do summer vacations confuse students?C.Should summer vacations be changed or not?D.Should students improve ability in vacations?。
