初三英语15篇阅读(含答案)
Passage 1(2017 江西)“Color, color, color!” are the words of artist Eric Carle. Eric is like the king in the world of children’s books. He has written over 70 children’s books. His most famous book, The Very Hungry Caterpillar, is common on children’s bookshelves all over the world. What most people don’t know is that Eric also makes art for adults, which is called “ArtArt”. People didn’t know about it, because he didn’t show it to the public until he was 84 years old!Like Eric’s children’s books, his “ArtArt” is full of bright and clear color. He says that he loves color so much because he missed it during the war in Germany. Eric was born in New York in 1929, but moved to Germany with his family when he was 6. When he was 10, World War II began. He noticed that all the houses and buildings in his town were painted grey, brown or dark green, It was a sad time, and it seemed like there was no color anywhere.At the end of the war, “When color came back,” Eric explains, “I just loved it so much. I keep saying that I wish our eyes could see more color. Color is a very important part of my work.’’That’s true. Eric paints bright colors on paper, cuts out shapes, and then glues them onto another piece of paper. This method is called collage. In fact, it is what led Eric to his “ArtArt”.Eric’s “ArtArt” includes large collages as well as paintings, photographs and even costumes.

When he was a small boy, Tim was interested in playing with electrical things. He studied science at Oxford University. He made his first computer from an old television at the age of 21.Tim started working on early computers. At that time, they were much bigger than now. He worked in England then Switzerland. Tim was really interested in two things, computers and how the brain works. How could the brain connect so many facts so quickly? He had to work with people all over the world. They shared information about computers. It was hard to manage all the information. He answered the same questions again and again. It took a lot of time. It was even difficult for computers in the same office in Switzerland to share information. Tim also forgot things easily. Could a computer work like a brain? Could it “talk” to other computers?There was an Internet already but it was difficult to use. In 1989, Tim Berners-Lee invented the World Wide Web(WWW)all by himself. This had a special language that helped computers talk to each other on the Internet. When people wanted to share information with others, they used the World Wide Web. The Internet grew quickly after that.Tim Berners-Lee doesn’t think he did anything special. He says that all of the ideas about the Internet were already there. All he did was to put them together. He says that many other people worked together to make the Internet what it is today.Most inventors want to become rich, but Tim gave away the World Wide Web for nothing. He now works in America.

When Theodore Roosevelt(罗斯福)was only nine, he and two of his cousins opened “the Roosevelt Museum of Natural History.” The museum was in Theodore’s bedroom. It had a total of 12 specimens(标本). On display were a few seashells, some dead insects and some birds’ nests. Young Roosevelt took great pride in his small museum.Born in New York in 1858, Theodore Roosevelt was not always healthy. “I was a sickly, delicate boy,” he once wrote. Roosevelt had a health condition called asthma(哮喘). He often found it hard to breathe. Instead of playing, he observed(观察)nature and then read and wrote about it.Roosevelt’s interest in nature sometimes got him into trouble. Once, his mother found several dead mice in the icebox. She ordered him to throw them out. This was indeed a loss to science, Roosevelt said later.Because Roosevelt was often sickly as a boy, his body was small and weak. When he was about 12, his father urged him to improve his body. Roosevelt began working out in a gym. He didn’t become strong quickly. But he did decide to face life’s challenges with a strong spirit. That determination stayed with Roosevelt his whole life. And finally his body did get strong. As an adult, he was an active, healthy person. He enjoyed adventures and loved the outdoors.In 1900, at the age of 41, Roosevelt was elected Vice President.

Especially girls were not allowed to go to school.Reporters from Britain told the world what was happening with the help of Malala. In 2009, 12-year-old Malala wrote 35 diaries on the Internet. She wrote about the difficulties of her life, and about her strong hope for education.Soon after that, Malala’s family was chosen to be in a TV program to show ordinary children’s education because both father and daughter spoke good English, and they cared about children getting an education.From then on, a few people hated her and hurt her. Though terribly wounded, Malala became a courageous fighter for the education rights of millions of girls worldwide. “I don’t want to be remembered as the girl who was hurt. I want to be remembered as the girl who stood up,” she said.She has now written a book about her life called I am Malala.

Scientists believe people began to travel the Silk Road about 3000 years ago. By the time the Chinese silk trade became important in the world, the Silk Road covered almost 6500 kilometers. It went from Rome to China, which was from the West to the Far East.Merchants travelled along the Silk Road to carry silk, of course. They also carried and traded other things like spices(香料), cloth, jewels and gold.Along and around these ancient paths(小路), have come many fascinating and mysterious stories.It is said that Roman soldiers who lost a war travelled through central Asia. They decided to live somewhere near the ancient Chinese villages. Some of these Romans married local Chinese women and the legend of the blond-haired, blue-eyed tribes of China was started.Some historians believe that the people of Kashmir were taken away from their country Israel. They were prisoners(俘虏)of war almost 2800 years ago. People say that these people travelled along the Silk Road. They kept their Jewish way of life for a long time.During its busiest period, the Silk Road allowed people from many different cultures and countries to meet each other and mix. The Silk Road allowed the sharing of valuable things and new ideas. It included people and trading goods from different areas. All these peoples travelled the Silk Road, and they shared goods, stories, languages, and cultures.In modern times, the old Silk Road routes(路线)are still used, but now they are crossed by trains instead of camels and horses.

Trade for SilkD. The West and the Far EastPassage 9(2017 河南)The idea that red means stop and green means go has influenced our lives in more ways than just traffic signals(信号). We have been taught from a young age that the color red means danger and green means it’s okay to move forward. But why were those colors chosen for traffic lights in the first place? For something we have to look at every day, why couldn’t they have been prettier colors?Well, it’s important to know that before traffic lights for cars, there were traffic signals for trains. At first, railway companies used red to mean stop, white to mean go, and green to mean warn. As you could imagine, trains ran into a few problems with white meaning go. For example, one train mistook a bright star for a white light and something unexpected happened. Because of that, railway companies finally moved green meaning go and used yellow to mean warn. And it’s been that way ever since.Red has always been a color that meant danger, long before cars were even around. This most likely started because of the color with the longest wavelength(波长)so it can be seen somewhere farther than other colors.But, believe it or not, yellow was once used to mean stop. Back in the 1900s, some stop signs were yellow because it was too hard to see a red sign in a poorly lit area. Finally, highly reflective materials(高反射材料)were developed and red stop signs were born. Since yellow can be seen well at all times of the day, school zones, some traffic signs, and school buses continue to be painted yellow.So next time you’re impatiently waiting at a traffic light, don’t get so mad at them; they’ve certainly come a long way.()1. What were traffic signals for before traffic lights for cars?A. Trains.B. Boats.C. Planes.D. Bicycles.()2. Which of the following colors meant go at first?A. Red.B. Yellow.C. White.D. Green.()3. Why does red mean danger?A. Because it’s the brightest color,B. Because it can be seen far away.C. Because railway companies say so.D. Because it has the shortest wavelength.()4. Why are school buses painted yellow?A. Because yellow is a prettier color.B. Because yellow once meant danger.C. Because yellow can be seen well in daytime.D. Because yellow means it’s OK to go forward. ()5. What does the text mainly tell us?A. How important traffic lights are.B. Which color has the longest wavelength.C. What red, yellow and green can be used for.D. Why traffic lights are red, yellow and green.Passage 10(2017 广东)People often think of the North Pole(北极)and the South Pole as similar frozen(冰冻的)wastelands. They are both places with very cold temperatures and few people live there. However, the North and South Poles are not much alike as people may imagine.The North Pole has no land, only thick ice. Temperatures seldom go above 32°F, at which water turns into ice. Most of the time, it stays below zero. In winter temperatures are usually as low as -30°F.Although conditions were very poor, people tried for many centuries to reach the North Pole. About 100 years ago, two men, Robert Peary and Mathew Henson, were able to get to this environment full of troubles and difficulties. They reached the North Pole on March 8th, 1909. It was really a hard trip for them.There are few things more dangerous than crossing the Arctic(北极圈)on foot. People who stayed there may face many problems: very cold temperatures, sudden storms, and even hunger. Most of the area is uninhabited. Few people can live in such a difficult place.People might think that with such low temperatures for most of the year, the ice would be thick and hard.However, this is not true in the Arctic. The movement of the ocean water under the ice may often cause many different changes on the surface. Sometimes the ice breaks into two opening lanes of water(水道)called “leads”. Anyone who falls into a lead can be frozen to death in a few minutes.()1. This passage is probably from___________.A. a book reviewB. a science bookC. a school reportD. a computer magazine()2. According to the passage, what happened about 100 years ago?A. Two men succeeded in getting to the North Pole.B. Temperatures in the North Pole went above 32°F.C. The environment in the North Pole suddenly became worse.D. The North Pole changed into thick ice because of the temperatures.()3. What does the underlined word “uninhabited” probably mean in Chinese?A. 气候恶劣的B. 充满危险的C. 困难重重的D. 无人居住的()4. The reason for the ice to break into two opening lanes of water is___________.A. that the temperature suddenly dropsB. that the water under the ice is frozenC. that the ocean water under the ice movesD. that the surface is covered with lots of ice()5. What does this passage mainly talk about?A. The thick ice in the North Pole.B. A difficult trip to the North Pole.C. The real situation in the North Pole.D. The differences between the North Pole and the South Pole.Passage 11(2017 福建)No one knows when the first kite was made. The first record of a kite was more than 2,000 years ago in China. Han Xin, the leader of an army, wanted to bring down a king. He decided to dig a tunnel(隧道)into the king’s palace. He flew a kite over the wall of the palace to make sure the length(长度)of its string(线). In this way, he could determine how long the tunnel should be. His men in the tunnel took the kite string with them. When they reached the end of the string, they knew to dig up.Kites have been flown in Japan for hundreds of years. In the 1700s, kites were flown in autumn to give thanks for a good harvest. They were also flown to send good wishes to couples who had their first son. Today in Japan, kites are often flown as part of a celebration, such as the beginning of a new year. And kite festivals are held each year in many parts of the country.Kites have been used for scientific purposes in the western world. In 1752, Benjamin Franklin tied a key to a kite and flew it in a storm to find out that lightening was a form of electricity. In the 1890s, Lawrence Hargrave invented the box kite to test ideas about flight. From 1898 until 1933, the United States Weather Bureau(气象局)used box kites to collect weather data.

Buy it on the Internet! Need it now? Why wait? Ask to receive it the next day! Each day, more and more people try on-line shopping. In fact, online sales have doubled in the last ten years. But not everyone is excited. Some scientists now say that online shopping is bad for the environment.People are surprised to hear this." They think, I don't need to drive, and the business doesn't need to build a store, so there will be less pollution," says Nuria Prost, an environmental scientist. "But it is not so simple. In fact, online shopping is wasteful. It also adds to air pollution."In truth, the Internet is not always as good a friend to the environment as it seems. For example, most people thought that the Internet would help offices use less paper and other materials. But paper use increased by33percent between 1986 and 1997."Online shopping could have similarly harmful results," says Nevil Cohen, a researcher of environmental science. Part of the problem is what people are buying these days. In the past, people bought things on the Internet that did not require much packing material, such as books and clothing. But now people also shop online for large, heavy pro ducts such as televisions, computers, chairs and tables. These products need to be packed in lots of plastic and paper. This creates a lot of waste.Another problem caused by online shopping is air pollution. When customers buy products and ask to receive them the next day, online businesses often have to send them by air. Airplanes use much more oil than cars and produce more carbon dioxide(二氧化碳). When people buy a lot of different things from different online businesses, this creates even more travel by airplane.Online product returns are also a problem. For example, an online shoe store may allow customers to return shoes for free if they are wrong size. This doubles the packing materials and number of airline trips required to sell one pair of shoes."If people want to protect the environment, they need to think before they shop," says Prost. "People need to ask themselves: Is this exactly what I want? Do I really need it tomorrow, or can I wait?" Online stores can also ask customers to pay money for returns. This may make people shop more carefully." Online shopping is fast and easy, "says Prost," but we can't forget the harmful result it has caused to the environment."(1)The passage begins with several questions to .A. introduce the main topicB. describe online shoppingC. show the writer's opinionD. list advantages of shopping(2)What is the passage mainly about?A. The Internet is not good to the environment.B. Online shopping causes more air pollution.C. Online shopping is bad for the environment.D. Stop online shopping to protect the environment.(3)Which of the following is to show that online shopping is wasteful?A. Large products need more packing materials.B. Paper use increased by 33 percent about ten years.C. Businesses need to build a store to sell the products.D. Online shopping costs less than shopping in a store.(4)What is probably the best title of the passage?A. A Good Deal to MakeB. A Different Lifestyle to KeepC. A Cleaner Way to ShopD. A New Business to Start(5)Which of the following shows the structure(结构)of the passage?(P=Paragraph)A.B.C.D.3.阅读理解My 14-year-old son, John, and I saw the coat at the same time in a second-hand clothing store. It stood out among big and old coats. It was so beautiful and had an unbelievable price, $ 28. I looked at my son and we both said nothing, but John's eyes shone. Dark, woolen coats were popular with teenage boys, but new ones could cost several hundred dollars. This coat was even better. John tried it on and turned from side to side, eyeing himself in the mirror. It fit him so well. John wore the coal to school the next clay. After he came home, I asked. "Did the kids like your coat?""They loved it," he said with a big grin.Over the next few weeks, John changed. He was polite, less argumentative, more thoughtful, and much happier. "Good dinner, Mom," he would say every evening. Without a word of complaining, he would carry in wood for the stove. One day when I suggested that he might start on his homework before dinner, John, who always put things off, said, "You're right. I guess I will." When I mentioned this change to one of his teachers, she joked that the coat must have changed him.John and I both know we should never judge a person by his clothes. But it is true that when wearing beautiful and suitable clothes, we may try to be better in thought, speech and behavior to match what is on the inside to what is on the outside.(1)What can we learn from the first paragraph?A.

He walked up to the teacher and told her, very seriously, that he was new. His name was Christian. He sat down, took a look at me, and then looked away. I didn't think he was very nice and I was sure he wasn't the type I would like to become friends with.During that year, I didn't talk to him much, but he smiled at me when our eyes met, always shyly. He never ate lunch with anybody, and he never talked to anybody but me.But one day I joined those unkind kids who were making fun of him. We made fun of him though I thought it was wrong."Haven't you got any friends?" a kid asked Christian, who had walked past us alone, head down. "No, he hasn't got any friends. He's too stupid and shy," I said. Then Christian looked up at me with the saddest dog eyes I had ever seen. I felt very sorry at that moment.That night, I couldn't sleep because I couldn't get Christian's face out of my mind. In the weeks that followed, he never met my eyes in class and never smiled at me. It was really hard for me to decide to write him a note asking him to forgive (原谅) me. But I thought I should.The next day in class, I wrote him a note telling him how sorry I felt. About five minutes later, I turned and saw tears in his eyes. "You will never realize what your apology (道歉) has meant to me, Jimmy," he said to me. "I hope we can become friends."We had lunch together that noon and we had the best talk I had ever had. Over the years at high school, we were close friends.When I think back, I realize that, if I had not apologized, I would never have known what a lovely person Christian was!Apologies can really change your life, so never miss the chance to tell somebody you are sorry.(1)From the passage, we know Christian was a ________ boy.A. tall and fatB. short and shyC. short and activeD. lovely and fat(2)Jimmy felt ________ after he made fun of Christian with other unkind kids.A. happyB. interestedC. sorryD. bored(3)This passage tells us that ________.A. we should make an apology when we hurt othersB. Jimmy's apology was unimportant to ChristianC. Christian wasn't lovely in factD. it is impossible to say sorry to others5.阅读理解Big data(数据) is lot of sets of information that are put together so they can be used by a computer program. The computer program looks for different kinds of answers or patterns in the data. Big data can have different kinds of information from many sources, such as information that comes from schools, social media sites(社交媒体网站), companies and governments.One set of data can have people's names and addresses. Another set can have what they like, where they go to school, and how much time they spend on the computer.Big data can be used in many ways. The government uses it to understand how many people travel on buses or trains. This information is then used to make bus or train systems better. Some schools use big data to understand which children may need more help in class. The teacher can then give certain students more help or support so those students can succeed in school. Companies use big data, too. It helps them understand who buys their products. For example, one company uses weather data to see when people eat the most ice cream.Big data can be used for good reasons. Some hospitals use big data to predict if a baby who is born too early will get sick. The hospital can then take extra steps to take care of that baby so he, she does not get sick. Big data can also be used for bad reasons. It can be used to predict which kinds of people are likely to break the law or hurt others, even if they have not done anything wrong.How can big data be used for good and bad things? It is because the computer programs used to look at big data and understand it are written by people. People think a certain way. Because they think a certain way, they build a model of those ideas. These ideas are then used to look at the data. Sometimes, these ideas are helpful for people or businesses. Other times, bad ideas can cause problems for certain groups of people.(1)This reading is about ______.A. what big data is and how it is usedB. what schools and hospitals people likeC. where important data is collected and storedD. how big data is controlled by governments and companies(2)One company uses weather information to ______.A. help children in needB. know when people will visit the hospitalC. find out who tides the bus or trainD. understand when people will need ice cream (3)The main idea of Paragraph 3 is ____.A. big data can be used for good reasonsB. we can use big data in a number of waysC. big data can be used for both good and bad reasonsD. we can use big data to stop babies from getting sick(4)The overall tone (总基调) of this reading is _________.A. sad and personalB. personal and scientificC. informative but sillyD. scientific and informative6.阅读理解I'm sure most people like music.

But for those who are interested in adventure and sports, there is a lot to do. Vanuatu's islands offer visitors two of the most exciting and dangerous activities in the world: volcano(火山) surfing and land diving.Volcano Surfing On Tanna Island, Mount Yasur rises 361 metres into the sky.

Volcano surfers try to escape the erupting volcano-- without getting hit by flying rocks! It's fast, fun and dangerous- the perfect extreme sport(极限运动).Land Diving Most people are familiar with bungee jumping, but do you know bungee jumping started on Pentecost Island in Vanuatu and is almost fifteen centuries old? The activity, first called land diving, is part of a religious ceremony(宗教仪式). A man ties tree vines(树藤) to his legs.

Miriam decided she wanted to raise money to save elephants.Last year, Miriam created a program called They Deserve(应得) to Be Free after seeing how young elephants are abused in Thailand. She learned how people take a baby elephant, don't give it food or water for days and beat it hard. "It made me really sad. I need to do something useful." Miriam said.Miriam is working to make money for Elephant Nature Park in Thailand. She asked her friends to give money to the park rather than giving her birthday gifts.She recently joined about 12 other students in an art center. They made elephants from clay and decorated(装饰) them. Then she created a plan to sell clay elephants.Kate, Miriam's art teacher, opened her art studio(工作室)to Miriam and her friends on weekends so they could make clay elephants.

Local After-school ProgramB. Happy Study CenterC. Serena and Happy Study CenterD. Serena’s HobbyBHow can you remember a song from your childhood to this day? Why do your teachers use songs to teach you English? It seems there is a scientific reason for this.Researchers are now studying the relationship between music and remembering a foreign language. They find that remembering words in a song is the best way to remember even the most difficult language.“Sin ging could be a new way of learning a foreign language. The brain likes to remember things when they are used in a catchy and meaningful way”,said Dr. Karen Ludke. The findings may help those who have difficulties learning foreign languages. On his blog, D r. Ludke writes. “A lis ten-and-repeat singing method can support foreign language learning, and opens the door for future research in this area.”Many language teachers know the value of using music and singing. Hua Zhuying, a teacher at a Chinese language school in Washington, D.C.depends heavily on songs in teaching Chinese. She says, “I use music all the time to teach children Chinese. For little kids usually we use English songs but teach them the Chinese lyrics. So it's easy for them to start because they know the music. Not only does it work, but it is fun for the kids.”“Sometimes, I think if I were taught English that way, maybe I would speak much better English than now,” Hua Zhuying adds.Our brain likes music, especially for remembering. So, if you're still struggling in learning a language, why not try singing it out?6.According to the passage, the best way to remember a foreign language is to .A.read and write more B.listen to the teacher carefullyC.copy the words many times D.remember words in a song7.The underlined word “catchy” probably means “”.A.艰涩难懂的B.悦耳易记的C.枯燥乏味的D.震耳欲聋的8.Dr. Ludke believes that foreign language learning can be supported by .A.using the listen-and-repeat singing methodB.listening to all kinds of famous musicC.writing songs with the languageD.reading the lyrics again and again9.From the passage, we know that Hua Zhuying .A.is interested in writing English songsB.teaches children English by using musicC.teaches Chinese in an American schoolD.is a researcher in a language school10.The passage mainly tells us that .A.many researchers realize the importance of language studyingB.your brain remembers a language better if you sing itC.many language teachers know the value of famous musicD.you will never learn language well unless you can singCWe may know that there are four basic periods for human beings to pass through when you enter and live in another country. This process helps you deal with culture shock.Culture shock begins with the "honeymoon period". This is the time when you first arrive in a place where everything about the new cu1ture is strange and exciting. You see new things, hear new sounds and language, eat new kinds of food. This period can last for quite a long time because you feel very happy.Unluckily, the second period can be more difficu1t. After you have got used to your new life, you can become very tired and begin to miss your motherland, your family, your friends, your pets and so on. Al1 the little prob1ems in life seem to be much bigger and more worrying when you face them in a foreign country. This period can be very difficult and lead to moving backwards quickly.The third period is called the "adjustment period". This is when you begin to realize that things are not so bad in the new country. Your sense of humor usually becomes stronger and you realize you are becoming stronger by 1earning to take care of yourself in the new place. Things are still difficult, but you are now a survivor.The fourth period can be cal1ed "at ease at last". Now you feel quite comfortable in your new place. You can deal with most problems that you have. You may still have prob1ems with language, but you know you are strong enough to deal with them. At this time, you may feel a little uncomfortable if you go back to your motherland. 11.According to the passage, culture shock usually happens when you ______.A.get married to a foreigner B.live in a big cityC.go to live in a foreign country D.meet foreigners in your motherland12.During the first period of the process, you feel _________.A.sad and lonely B.happy and excitedC.angry but strong D.easy but uncomfortable13.You will find that you are a survivor in _______.A.the 1st period B.the 2nd periodC.the 3rd period D.the 4th period14.The fourth period can be regarded as a period of being _____.A.relaxing B.worrying C.tiring D.upset15. From the passage we can know that ______.A.living in another country is funB.it’s boring to live in another countryC.knowing about culture shock is hardD.it’s no t easy to deal with culture shock四.七选五Are you one of Earth's next generation (一代)of explorer-astronauts? 1.________ What do aspiring(有抱负的) astronauts do to prepare for the possibility of a career in space?Alyssa Carson's dream is to be the first person on Mars.

I’m tired because I can’t improve my English skill. Who can help me? Please!26 March, 2021—11:47 JoHi Hu Bo,If you want to improve your English, you are in the right place. Don’t worry just startsl owly working through some of the pages in the sections that are most interesting and useful to you. The more English you read and listen to, the more you will learn.Best wishes, Jo (Learn English Teens Team)8 April, 2021—19:22 Forever-in-dreamThank you for these tips. They help me very much. But I’m taking an English exam (speaking)this Friday and I’m a bit scared about it. I can’t stop being nervous, so in this condition I always say something wrong with l ong pauses(停顿). Can you suggest me anything to deal with it?9 April, 2021—10:14 JoHi Forever-in-dream,Thanks for your comment(评论). OK, first thing to remember is that everyone gets nervous for speaking exams. It’s totally natural to feel nervous. Also, it’s normal to make some mistakes. The examiners will not expect you to do the exam perfectly and they will get a good idea about your level of English even if you make some mistakes. If you make a mistake and you realize right away, then go back and say it again. We all d o this sometimes even when we are speaking our native(本土的)language. Also it’s normal to pause and think when you’re speaking in your own language and in a foreign language, so try not to worry about that.So, take a d eep breath before you start the exam and remember that these feelings are natural. In fact feeling a bit nervous sometimes helps you to d o your best.Good luck! Jo(Learn English Teens Team)24.Which of the foll owing is TRUE according to the passage?A.If you want to improve English, you shoul d read and listen to more English.B.You cannot go back and say it again if you make a mistake in a speaking exam.C.You will get bad grades if you have a pause and think in your own language.D.Feeling a little nervous always helps you to d o your best during an exam.25.Which of the foll owing does Jo think is normal?A.Making mistakes. B.Listening to others.C.Having an exam. D.Speaking English.26.What can we infer(推断)from the passage?A.Jo comes from the United Kingdom.B.Jo, Hu Bo and Forever-in-dream are good friends.C.Hu Bo and Forever-in-dream are good at speaking English.D.Jo’s job is to help teens with English and answer their questions.27.Where might you see these messages?A.On TV. B.In a book. C.On a website. D.On a newspaper.When you l earn English, you'll find it not easy to translate a sentence, word by word, into Chinese. Take the sentence “Get cold feet.” for example. If you look up each word in the dictionary, one at a time, what is your translation? It must be a wrong sentence in your own language. If you want to get the right answer, you need read more information or ask your teacher for help. Finally, you can get it-“Feel afraid and stay where you are.”Languages don't just have different sounds and they are different in many ways. It's important to master the rul es for word order in the study of English, too. If the speakers put words in different orders, the listeners may understand the speakers' sentences in different ways. When the order of words in an English sentence is changed, the meaning of the sentence doesn't change. For example, “I have seen the film already” “I have already seen the film.”But sometimes the meaning of the sentence will change if the ord er of words in an English sentence is changed. For example, “She only likes apples.” “Only she likes apples.”English is a foreign language, which is spoken by peopl e all over the world. When you are learning English, you must do your best to get the spirit of the language and use it as the English speaker d oes.28.When we translate an English sentence, what shoul d we d o?A.Look up each word in the dictionary and translate it word by word.B.Connect the meaning of every word with Chinese.C.Try to say anything in Chinese.D.Read more information or ask teachers for help.29.If the speakers put the order of words differently, the listeners ________.A.can master the rules for word ord er B.can't guess the changeC.may misunderstand the meaning D.may not und erstand the sounds 30.“She only likes apples.” is ________ “Only she likes apples.”A.different from B.the same as C.changed by D.spoken by 31.Which of the foll owing is TRUE according to the passage?A.“Get cold feet.” means “Feel afraid and run away.”B.It's easy to master the rules for word order in the study of English.C.If the order of words in English sentences is changed, the meaning of the sentence may change.D.When you learn English, you shouldn't get the spirit of the language.32.Where is the passage probably from?A.A travel magazine. B.A storybook.C.A language learning website. D.The CD player instructions.Language students often think they have memory probl ems. They worry because they can't remember words. In fact, the probl em usually isn't with their memory. The probl em is with how they study.To remember words better, you need to understand how memory works. There are two kinds of memory: short-term and l ong-term. When you see, hear, or read something, it goes first into short-term memory. But short-term memory lasts for only a few seconds. You will only remember something longer if it goes into l ong-term memory. Your long-term memory is like a very big library with many, many books. And like a library, it's organized. When you put away a book or memory you can't just leave it anywhere. You have to choose a place where you can find it again.How can you do this with vocabulary? The answer is to work with the word and think about the word in new ways. You can d o this by writing new sentences that includ e it. Even better, you can invent a littl e story about the word, with peopl e or places that you know. Another way is to make a picture in your mind with the word. For example, if the word is height, you can think of the tall est person you know and try to guess his or her height. All of these activities are good ways to think about words. They make the meaning of words stronger in your l ong-term memory. And they give a way to find a word when you need it. 33.In the writer's opinion, students can't remember words because ________.A.they have memory problems B.they are too worriedC.they don't use a proper way D.they d on't like to study34.Which is TRUE about memory according to the passage?A.Short-term memory is seld om used.B.What we see goes into l ong-term memory first.C.We will forget a word soon if it goes into short-term memory.D.We will never forget a word if it goes into l ong-term memory.35.The underlined(划线的)part in Paragraph 2 means l ong-tern memory ________. A.works like a well-organized libraryB.provides any book you wantC.leaves memory anywhereD.keeps many books like a large library36.This passage mainly tells us about ________.A.students' language probl ems in studyB.how to make the meaning of words strongerC.short-term and l ong-term memoryD.how to improve ways to remember wordsHomework is a probl em for students all over the world. As a student, you have a l ot of homework to do every day. It's a major part of a student's schooldays. It's the best way to review what you have l earned in class. And it helps you und erstand important concepts(概念).Luckily, there are several things you can do to make homework less diffiicult.Be sure you understand the homeworkWrite your homework d own in your notebook if you need to. Don't be afraid to ask questions about it. It's much easier to ask the teacher during or after class than to try to remember later that night!Use your time at schoolMany schools have study halls. It is d esigned to all ow stud ents to study on their own. It's more interesting to play with your friends. But the more homework you finish at school, the less you’ll have to d o that night.Take a breakIt's difficult to hold your attention for too l ong. So take some breaks while doing your homework. Siting for too long without relaxing will make you feel very tired. Taking a15-minute break every hour is a good idea for most peopl e.Make a planIf you d on't finish your homework at school, think about how much you have left, so you can budget your time. Most students have between 1 hour and 3 hours of home-work a night. If it's a heavy homework day, you'll need to spend more time on it. It's a good idea to make a homework timetabl e, especially when you want to enjoy sports or other activities. 37.The first paragraph is mainly about_____A.why homework is hard to d oB.why students should do homeworkC.how much homework students shoul d d oD.when students shoul d d o homework38.You shoul d d o the foll owing things EXCEPT____A.writing your homework d own in your notebookB.trying to finish your homework at schoolC.d oing homework without taking a breakD.making a plan for your homework39.The underlined word "budget"in the passage means"______".A.plan B.save C.waste D.kill40.The writer advises students to______if the homework is heavy.A.do l ess homework at nightB.do other activities firstC.take a break and do some choresD.make a homework timetabl e41.Which of the foll owing is the best title for the passage?A.Too much homework means too much pressureB.Students shoul d learn to relaxC.Ways to make homework easierD.Problems students meet when d oing homeworkHow l ong are you willing to wait for a webpage to open before you start to l ose your patience? Half a minute? A few seconds? Googl e engineers have discovered that even 400 milliseconds―as short as the blink of an eye―is too l ong for most Internet users.A millisecond is one thousandth of a second. People hardly notice such a small time difference, but it does cause them to stop searching, reported The New York Times. “Without question, n obody likes to wait,” said Arvind Jain, a Google engineer. “Every millisecond matters.”Nowadays, millions of smart-phones and computers are continually gathering and sending out information. With so many peopl e d ownloading maps, sports vid eos, news andre staurant recommendations, you can get digital “traffic jams”. Meanwhile, users are expecting faster and faster service.Google found that if one website is 250 milliseconds sl ower than another website, then people will visit it l ess often. This is why technol ogy companies are now competing to be the fastest. Googl e said people d o expect different things from different websites because they realize not all l oading times are the same. For exampl e, a person will be more patient waiting for a video to load than for a search result.Even so, four out of five online users will click away if a video takes too l ong to l oad. This makes it difficult for vid eo websites to choose between the quality of pictures and fast l oadingtimes.Trying to get a higher speed has always been part of the history of the Internet. In the 1990s, when the Worl d Wid e Web first started to become popular, it was very crowded andsl ow; people call ed it the “Worl d Wide Wait”. But engineers managed to fight the problem with new inventions. They laid a lot of fiber optic cables (光缆)for sending in high speed; they improved software so it woul d work more smoothly; they placed computer servers all around the world to be nearer to users; all this increased speed.Nowadays we can enjoy much faster Internet. Famous search engines such as Google and Microsoft’s Bing usually find search results in less than asecond.____________________________________________________42.The report from The New York Times suggests thatA.A millisecond is one thousandth of a second.B.400 milliseconds is not so l ong for most Internet users.C.A millisecond has nothing to do with the Internet speed.D.A millisecond really makes a difference to the Internet users.43.The engineers did something to improve the speed, including _____.a. making software work more smoothlyb. laying a number of fiber optic cabl es insidec. placing computer servers throughout the worl dd. developing the quality of pictures on the InternetA.a b c B.b c d C.a c d D.a b d44.Which of the foll owing is true according to the passage?A.The quality of pictures comes first for video websites.B.Google is 250 milliseconds sl ower than other websitesC.Microsoft’s Bing is the fastest engine the world nowD.Peopl e are more likely to wait for l oading films than maps45.What d oes the underlined sentence mean?A.Internet users are willing to see more search engines set upB.Google and Microsoft’s Bing should help find the searching resultsC.These companies shoul d mind their steps, or they will break d own soon.D.These companies need to catch up with the devel oping needs of Internet users 46.What can be the best title of this passage?A.Don’t make me “www.wait”.B.Search engines work faster.C.Traffic jams keep us waiting.D.The WWW becomes popular.Green is an important col or in nature. It is also the col or of most growing plants. Sometimes the word green means young, fresh and growing. Sometimes it describes something that is not yet ripe (成熟的) or finished. For exampl e, a greenhorn is someone who has no experience, who is new to a situation, in the fifteenth century, a greenhorn was a young cow or ox whose horns had not yet devel oped. A century or so later, a greenhorn was a sol dier who had not yet had any experience in battle. By the eighteenth century, a greenhorn had the meaning it has today—a person who is new in a job.Someone who has the ability-to grow plants well is said to have a green thumb .The expression comes from the early 1900s. A person with a green thumb seems to have a magic touch that makes plants grow quickly and well. You might say that the woman next door has a green thumb if her gard en continues to grow long after your plants have died.The Green Revolution is the name given some years ago to the development of new kinds of rice and other grains. The new plants produced much larger crops. The Green Revolution was the result of hard work by agricultural scientists who had green thumbs.Green is also the col or used to describe the powerful emotion, jealousy(嫉妒). The green-eyed monster is not a frightening creature from outer space. It describes the unpleasant feeling a person has when someone has something he wants. A young man may suffer from the green-eyed monster if his girlfriend begins going out with someone else. Or, that green-eyed monster may affect your friend if you get a pay raise and she does not. 47.From the first paragraph, we can conclud e(得出结论) that ________.A.a greenhorn refers to (指的是) a horn of a young cow or oxB.a word has different meanings in the same century.C.the language devel ops with time going byD.a greenhorn means a soldier who hasn’t had any experience in battl e today 48.If a person has a green thumb, he or she probably ________.A.suffers from an illness in the thumb B.does well in growing plants C.has a thumb in green color D.has wond erful magic and energy 49.If Jane has a beautiful dress that Mary likes very much, ________A.Jane may suffer from the green-eyed monsterB.Mary is probably a girl with a green thumbC.Jane is probably call ed a greenhorn.D.Mary may suffer from the green-eyed monster50.Which of the foll owing statements is NOT true according to the passage? A.In about the 16th century, a greenhorn meant an experienced soldier. B.The Green Revolution may have some connection with green thumbs. C.The green-eyed monster was probably created by William Shakespeare. D.The green-eyed monster can be used to describe a person who is jeal ous.Science for KidsThis month's most popular books1.
