AJessie felt her life so boring one summer day. She was tired of watching TV, she read all her books, and her friends were on vacation. She wanted something different to do. Suddenly, she saw the lawn mower(割草机) sitting in the yard.“Mom,” she shouted, “I think I will mow the lawn.” Her mom ran into the yard and said, “Oh n o, you don’t. You’re too young to mow the law.”“I’m fourteen years old and know how to do it,” Jessie said. “Besides, it would help Dad out, and he won’t have to worry about it over the weekend.”Mom thought for a while and then decided to let Jessie give it a try. After all, she was home and would keep an eye on her. Jessie already knew how to start the lawn mower from watching her dad. Jessie checked the gas(汽油) to make sure it was full,and put on her gardening gloves to protect her hands. Mom watched from the kitchen window. Jessie really does know how to mow the lawn. She was very careful around the flowers and trees. When she finished, she felt so good, but she was so hot. Mom brought her some ice tea and said, “You sure did a great job. Dad wil l be very surprised.”Later that day, Dad came home and said to Jessie’s mom, “You didn’t have to mow the lawn. I was going to do it on Saturday. It looks great. Thanks.”“I didn’t mow it. Jessie did.”“Wow, our little girl is growing up!” Dad tol d Jessie what a great job she had done.“It was fun, and I will do it again next week,” said Jessie.The neighbor next door came by and asked Jessie if she wanted to mow his lawn and make some money. “Sure!” said Jessie.

and asked Gloria for books on cancer．The woman seemed anxious．Gloria showed her practically everything they had and found other books theycould order．The woman left the store less worried，and Gloria

family could not afford an operation，and the boy lived in shame，hiding his hand in his pocket all the time．Gloria persuaded(说服) her boss to agree to let her do the story．After the story was

say，“Thank you．”What a sweet sense of satisfaction Gloria felt!At Smith's bookstore，Gloria always realized she was working for the customers，not the store．Today it's the same．The TV station pays

chance to enjoy the sun in the UK and having naturally fair skin(白皙皮肤)，my legs were very white．In the UK this is not a fashionable look at all．Most women spend every sunny day out in the sun trying to get darker skin．The darker the skin，the better the look．I have tried to get darker but nothing works for me!As I walked around one shop．two shop girls didn’t take their eyes off me the whole time，talking quietly to each other in Chinese．I began to feel uncomfortable and asked my friend if we could leave．After we left the shop，she asked me what was wrong．I complained(抱怨) about the shop

Sun cream starts to work immediately.BIn the 1920s and 30s the airlines were just beginning. It was unusual for people to travel by air because it was expensive and dangerous. In those days, there were no flight attendants to look after the passengers. Young men ,or “stewards” helped the passengers onto the airplane and carried the passengers’ luggage(行李)but they did not provide food and drinks. But then in 1930,a woman called Ellen Church invented the“stewardess”.Ellen Church was born in 1904 on a farm in Iowa. She was a different child. She didn’t want to work on a farm or marry a farmer —she wanted a more adventurous(冒险的)life. Ellen studie d to be a nurse at the University of Minnesota and then got a job in a hospital. For the next few years she stayed at the hospitalbut also took flying lessons and got her pilot’s license.Ellen was twenty-five years old when she first got in touch with Boeing Air Transport. She loved flying but she understood that airlines were a man’s world. Although women like Emelia Earheart were becoming famous, she realized it was impossible for a woman to have a career as a pilot .But she had another idea. Most people were frightened of flying because. flying was still an unr eliable(不可靠的) way to travel. There were often delays(延误),many crashes and the bad weathers made many passengers sick. Ellen thought nurses could take care of passengers during flights and B.A.T. agreed.The young woman from Iowa and seven other nurses became the first air stewardesses.At first pilots were unhappy because they did not want stewardesses on airplanes, but passengers loved the stewardesses. In 1940 there were around 1000 of them working for different airlines. The early “stewardesses” had to be under twenty-five-year-old, single and slim. When a woman joined an airline, she had to promise not to get married or have children. It was hard job and not well paid. They worked longhours and earned ＄1 an hour.In the 1970s, stewardesses were unhappy in their job and airlines had to make some changes. Since the 1970s, “stewardesses” have been called flight attendants. They are well paid and work fewer hours than inthe past.18.( )The last sentence of the first paragraph suggests that _________.A. the word “stewardess” was ma de up by Ellen ChurchB. Ellen Church was the first woman who flew a planeC. Ellen Church was the first woman who worked on a planeD. Ellen Church was the first woman passenger on a plane19.( )From the second paragraph, we learn that ________.A. Ellen did not behave in the same way as most as other girlsB. Ellen’s family was not rich enough to support her educationC. Ellen was fond of working as a nurse in the hospitalD. Ellen has an unhappy childhood that changed her completely20.( )The main reason for Boeing Air Transport offering Ellen the job was ________.A. her flying experienceB. her univer sity educationC. her nursing experienceD. her life attitudes21.( )According to the passage, in the 1940s a woman had to ________ if she wanted to be a stewardess.A. be a nurseB. be marriedC. be a motherD. be young22.( )The passage mainly talks about _______.A. the background of early flying pilotsB. the experience of flying passengersC. the history of early flight attendantsD. the development of airplanesB26.00(up to 16 years of age)3.When does the coach leave Windermere if you choose Tour B?A. 09.45 hrsB. 17.00 hrsC. 12.00 hrsD. 16.30 hrsC“My dear lady,” says Holmes. “You’re shivering.

But Iknow many things about you. For example, I know how you travel. You came toLondon by train. You also ride to the train station on a horse-drawn wagon(马车).”“Why, yes. You’re right. But how do you know these things?”“ I see a return ticket in your glove. I see fresh mud on the left arm of your dress. Now tell us yourproblem.”“My name is Helen Stoner,” she states, “ My mother and father are dead. I am living with my stepfather, Dr Grimesby Roylott. He comes from a rich family. But they are no longer rich. They have nothing except a small piece of land and a huge old house. We are living in the house. Dr Roylott is using my mother’s money for expenses(开支). Part of it was for my sister and me. It was for our marriages.”Holmes is sitting in his chair. His eyes are closed. He is listen ing carefully to Helen’s story. He hearsevery detail.Helen continues. “My stepfather has no friends. He fights with everyone. He is strong and gets angryquickly. Everyone is afraid of him.”“He has no friends at all?” asks Holmes.“No. He talks to no one except the gypsies. They are poor people who travel from place to place.

That is not success.”“How about being able to provide for your family?” A blonde girl named Sandy in the front suggestedas an answer.“Now we’re getting closer,” Mr Gruber smiled, “but try thinking about what you need and what youwant.”“Getting everything you want.” Tom shouted out an answer again, trying for more laughs.Mr Gruber sighed. “ I believe we’ve already talked about excess versus(与…比较) success.”“Getting everything you need, but some of what you want?” James, sitting in the back wondered aloud.“Quite right!” Mr Gruber clapped. “Success is getting everyt hing you need and some of what you want. The more you get that you want, the more successful you are. You do reach a point where you are living inexcess, though.”“What does this have to do with business?” Tom asked. It seemed if it wasn’t funny, he wasn’t happy.“Well, Tom, think of it this way: the point of business is to make a living to support your family. Once you have properly seen to (确保) their needs, you can then see to getting the extras that you want.”“What if I don’t have a family?” he continu ed to be difficult.“Then you have to provide for yourself, a family of one.”“He has goldfish to think about!” Peter, Tom’s friend, shouted out.“Then he needs to provide for a family of one with a fishbowl.” Mr. Gruber corrected himself.Tom nodded, satisfied with that answer.“So in the next nine weeks, we’re going to study basic business situations, like having a checkingaccount and understanding credit cards.”Tom rubbed his hands together excitedly. “When do we get to start spending?”“You already are, Tom.

You are driving along a desert or on a mountain.You have no idea where you are. You passed the last house two hours ago.Then your car breaks down. It is night and it is cold. You have no mobilephone. What do you do? Well, next time take a GPS with you. This inventionmay be able to help you. It is a device(装置) which uses satellites (卫星) tofind the user’s position(位置). It can find your position to within 20 metres. A GPS cannot start yourcar, but at least you will know where you are.GPS, which means Global Positioning System, is a small radio receiver. It looks like a mobile phone. You can hold it in your hand, or put in your pocket. It is sometimes put into a watch or atelephone. We also find GPS devices in cars, planes, or boats. Some of these devices have electronic maps, so you know where you are. For example, in a city they can tell you the name of the street.There are three parts to the Global Positioning System. The first part is the receiver. You can hold it in your hand, or have it fixed into your car, plane, etc. The second part is a group of satellites orbiting the Earth. The receiver contacts at least four of the satellites and calculates(计算) its position. The third part of the system is a network of ground stations. They are all over the world. They control thesatellites and make sure they are working well.Some people think that in the future the GPS will be as common as the mobile. They are becoming cheaper and more and more accurate(精确的). There are also new uses for the GPS. Perhaps they will become like watches.Everyone will have one and you will never be lost again.13.According to the passage, with the help of the GPS, people __________.（2）can’t be lost in a new city（3）can’t find their way in different countries（4）can learn about the culture of an unknown place（5）can spend the least time getting to another place14.We can learn from the passage that ____________.A.t here are three parts to the GPSB.a GPS can’t b e put into a watchC.a GPS can help you start your carD.t he GPS are becoming more and more expensive15.The underlined word “They” in paragraph 3 means “____________”.A.

2013中考英语试题及答案各位读友大家好，此文档由网络收集而来，欢迎您下载，谢谢2013中考英语试题及答案2013年中考英语精品复习资料阅读理解篇（二）议论文（6）A famous study was done in a school by a professor(教授) from a university．At the start of the school year，the teachers were given the names of five children．They were told that these five were the most excellent students in the class．But the fact was that these students were only average(中等)，and they were not the best students at all．Well，guess what? At the end of the year，all the five average students scored among the highest in the class．What made these average students change so much to become top students? The only difference was the change in their teachers’attitude(态度)．Because the teachers believed that these five kids were the top students，they expected(期望) more from them．And so these five average students began to believe and expect more from themselves．So they worked harder to do as well as they could．Do you know? If you expect the best from people，they’ll usually want to give you their best．A great leader said，“Treat(对待) a person just how he appears to be on the outside，and you’ll make him even worse．But treat a person like he’s already a success，and you’ll help make him the best he can be．”Like the true story of 7-year-old Johnny，his teacher got so angry with him that one day she said，“Johnny，you’re the naug htiest(最顽皮的) boy in this class．I’m sure you’ll never change．”The next year Johnny had a new teacher．And on the first day of class，she met with Johnny after school and said，“Jo hnny，I’ve heard a lot about you! But do you know that I don’t believe a word of it．”And everyday after that，this new teacher treated Johnny as if he was one of the smartest students even when Johnny did naughty things．Later on，Johnny became a school leader．Because that’s the power of our belief(信任) and attitude toward children．根据短文内容，选择正确答案。

How important is music? When they are asked this question, students and parents usually answer that music is nice, but not very important. It is often considered only as entertainment, but not the first choice for education. This opinion is shortsighted (短视的). In fact, music education is necessary and important for all students.Music tells us who we are. Music reflects (反映) the creators’ thinking and values, as well as the social environment it came from. For example, just as Mozart music represents a lifestyle, rock music (摇滚乐) represents a lifestyle, too. The jazz(爵士乐) influence that George Gershwin and other musicians introduced into their music is obviously American because it came form American musical traditions.Music provides a kind of ability to know the world in a different way. Science explains how the sun rises and sets. Music explores the emotive(情感的) meanings. We need every possible way to discover and respond (回应) to our world because no one way can get it all.Music is a form of thought, as powerful as science. It is a way we human beings “talk” to each other. Through the language we express our feelings, our discoveries, our ideas, our imagination and our hopes so that they can be shared with others. When we do not let our children receive good music education, we take away from them the meanings that music expresses. Science does not tell us what it means to be human. Music does.So music education is much more necessary than people generally realize.【主旨大意】本文从各个方面说明了音乐教育对人的重要意义。
