In note (b), “punctual” means____________.A. happyB. very earlyC. on timeD. awakeB篇Cancer is among the top killer diseases in our society today and scientists have found out that stress (紧张、压力) helps to bring it on. It is worth considering. What are the causes of stress in our life, and whether we can do anything about them? Are we out of work, or have too many responsibilities (责任)? Do we have a right balance of work and leisure (闲暇) in our lives? Are our relationships with family, fiends or fellow workers all they should be? All these things can be a cause of stress, and it is best to face them honestly, and to bring out frustrations (失意，失败) into the open. People who have a good row and then forget it are doing their health better than those who bottle up(抑制) their feelings. If our self-examination has brought any causes of stress to light, let us consider what we can do about them. It is possible to change jobs. We can make more leisure and fill it more happily, if we will accept a different living standard (标准). We can improve our personal relationships by a different attitude (态度). It is we who allow other people to make ourselves unhappy. Often the little things that disturb us are not worth an hour's anger. The teaching in the Bible(圣经) "Don't let the sun go down upon your wrath(愤怒)" is good advice from the health point of view.6. According to the text, which of the following sentences is the best statement? A. Freedom from responsibilities helps reduce(减少) stress.B. Stress is the direct cause of cancer.C. The causes of stress are worth studying seriously.D. Cancer is the number one killer in our society today.7.

Which of the following is NOT mentioned as a way to reduce our stress?A. Changing our jobs.B.Changing our attitude about little things that make us unhappy.C. Speaking out about our frustration.D. Reading the Bible.10. What’s the main idea of the passage?A. We should read Bible every day.B. We should have good relationships with our family members.C. We should do something to reduce the stress that helps to bring cancer on.D. Sometimes we can quarrel with others.C篇Some people think only school children do not agree with their parents, however, it is not true. Communication is a problem for parents and children of all ages. If it’s hard for you to communicate with your parents, don’t worry ab out it. Here are some advice for you to bridge the generation gap (消除代沟). Don’t argue (争辩) with your parents. Don’t get to your parents when you are angry. Your parents probably won’t consider your ideas if you are shouting at them. And you can’t express y ourself well if you are angry. Go someplace to cool off. Make sure you understand why you are unhappy. Then think about what you want to say to your parents. If you don’t think you can speak to them at the moment, try writing a letter. Try to reach a compromise (和解). Perhaps you and your parents disagree on something. You can keep your disagreement and try your best to accept each other. Michael’s mother didn’t agree with him about buying a motorcycle. They argued over it. But they finally came to a compromise. Michael bought the motorcycle, but only drove it on certain days. Of course, your parents might refuse to compromise on something. In these situations, it is especially important to show love and respect (尊敬) to them. Showing respect will keep your relationship strong. Talk about your values. The values of your parents are probably different from those of your own. Tell your parents what you care about, and why. Understanding your values might help them see your purposes in life. A good relationship with your parents can make you a better and happier person. It is worth having a try!11. The passage tells us ___have a communication problem.A. parents and other peopleB. school kids and their parentsC. teachers and their studentsD. parents and children of all ages12.

From the passage we learn ___.A. parents and children should not have a generation gapB. parents should show love and respect to their childrenC. there are some good ways to bridge the generation gapD. there are so many serious problems in families todayD篇My mum says my head is too expensive, because all my operations have cost millions of dollars. I am sick with hydrocephalus. That means “water in the head." Water runs through the body like a river, but sometimes it won’t leave my head. That water gives me bad headaches and lots of other problems. so doctors put a small tube(管子)in me to take away that water from my head. I stay in the hospital most of the time . Sometimes the doctors let me go out to play. But sometimes, if I play too much , my tube has problems. I have to go back to the hospital. My doctor, Dr. Beck , is the greatest. He takes good care of me, and he’s a lot of fun, too. My illness is hard to understand, but Dr. Beck always takes time to teach me about it by drawing pictures or telling stories. I draw cartoons for him, too, to make him laugh when he gets tired. When I grow up, I dream of becoming a doctor so that I can take care of kids like me. I have been in the hospital a lot, and my mum is a nurse, so I have learned a lot by watching and asking questions.

初三英语能力大赛一：选择型阅读：（共30个小题，每小题3分，计90分）A篇A group of 68 Australian tourists are staying at a hotel in Singapore. Today is Thursday. Their leader put up this1. Mrs. Johnson wants to go to the National Museum. Then we know that she will Not visit________.A. Mount FaberB. the aquariumC. Crocodile FarmD. Jurong Bird Park2. On 21 July, the tourists will leave the hotel rooms at about_________.A. 8:20a.m.B. 8:30a.m.C. 9:00a.m.D. 9:10a.m.3. The last day for signing that a tourist wants to go on the tour is _________.A. WednesdayB. ThursdayC. SaturdayD. Sunday4. Each tourist will pay _______ for the tour.A. $14B. $12.5C. $8.8D. nothing5. In note (b), “punctual” means____________.A. happyB. very earlyC. on timeD. awakeB篇Cancer is among the top killer diseases in our society today and scientists have found out that stress (紧张、压力) helps to bring it on. It is worth considering. What are the causes of stress in our life, and whether we can do anything about them? Are we out of work, or have too many responsibilities (责任)? Do we have a right balance of work and leisure (闲暇) in our lives? Are our relationships with family, fiends or fellow workers all they should be? All these things can be a cause of stress, and it is best to face them honestly, and to bring out frustrations (失意，失败) into the open. People who have a good row and then forget it are doing their health better than those who bottle up(抑制) their feelings. If our self-examination has brought any causes of stress to light, let us consider what we can do about them. It is possible to change jobs. We can make more leisure and fill it more happily, if we will accept a different living standard (标准). We can improve our personal relationships by a different attitude (态度). It is we who allow other people to make ourselves unhappy. Often the little things that disturb us are not worth an hour's anger. The teaching in the Bible(圣经) "Don't let the sun go down upon your wrath(愤怒)" is good advice from the health point of view.6. According to the text, which of the following sentences is the best statement?A. Freedom from responsibilities helps reduce(减少) stress.B. Stress is the direct cause of cancer.C. The causes of stress are worth studying seriously.D. Cancer is the number one killer in our society today. 7. According to the text, which of the following kinds of people are more likely to suffer from stress?A. People who have cancer.B. People who like to quarrel with others.C. People whose living standard is low.D. People who have more responsibilities than they can handle(应付).8. The word "row" in the third paragraph means________.A. a noisy quarrelB. a very loud noiseC.a line of things side by sideD. a trip in a boat9. Which of the following is NOT mentioned as a way to reduce our stress?A. Changing our jobs.B.Changing our attitude about little things that make us unhappy.C. Speaking out about our frustration.D. Reading the Bible.10. What’s the main idea of the passage?A. We should read Bible every day.B. We should have good relationships with our family members.C. We should do something to reduce the stress that helps to bring cancer on.D. Sometimes we can quarrel with others.C篇Some people think only school children do not agree with their parents, however, it is not true. Communication is a problem for parents and children of all ages. If it’s hard for you to communicate with your parents, don’t worry about it. Here are some advice for you to bridge the generation gap (消除代沟). Don’t argue (争辩) with your parents. Don’t get to your parents when you are angry. Your parents probably won’t consider your id eas if you are shouting at them. And you can’t express yourself well if you are angry. Go someplace to cool off. Make sure you understand why you are unhappy. Then think about what you want to say to your parents. If you don’t think you can speak to them a t the moment, try writing a letter. Try to reach a compromise (和解). Perhaps you and your parents disagree on something. You can keep your disagreement and try your best to accept each other. Michael’s mother didn’t agree with him about buying a motorcycle. They argued over it. But they finally came to a compromise. Michael bought the motorcycle, but only drove it on certain days. Of course, your parents might refuse to compromise on something. In these situations, it is especially important to show love and respect (尊敬) to them. Showing respect will keep your relationship strong. Talk about your values. The values of your parents are probably different from those of your own. Tell your parents what you care about, and why. Understanding your values might help them see your purposes in life. A good relationship with your parents can make you a better and happier person. It is worth having a try!11. The passage tells us ___have a communication problem.A. parents and other peopleB. school kids and their parentsC. teachers and their studentsD. parents and children of all ages12. Your parents probably won’t consider your ideas if you ___.A. don’t get to them oftenB. write a letter to themC. don’t speak to them politel yD. express yourself well13. The underline d phrase “cool off” in the passage means “___”.A. to make yourself happyB. to get you quiet and relaxedC. to have a good restD. to hide yourself quickly14. If there’s really a generation gap between you and your parents, you’d bett er _______.A. have a talk with them oftenB. keep away from themC. agree with them all the timeD. know about their values15. From the passage we learn ___.A. parents and children should not have a generation gapB. parents should show love and respect to their childrenC. there are some good ways to bridge the generation gapD. there are so many serious problems in families todayD篇My mum says my head is too expensive, because all my operations have cost millions of dollars. I am sick with hydrocephalus. That means “water in the head." Water runs through the body like a river, but sometimes it won’t leave my head. That water gives me bad headaches and lots of other problems. so doctors put a small tube(管子)in me to take away that water from my head. I stay in the hospital most of the time . Sometimes the doctors let me go out to play. But sometimes, if I play too much , my tube has problems. I have to go back to the hospital. My doctor, Dr. Beck , is the greatest. He takes good care of me, and he’s a lot of fun, too. My illness is hard to understand, but Dr. Beck always takes time to teach me about it by drawing pictures or telling stories. I draw cartoons for him, too, to make him laugh when he gets tired. When I grow up, I dream of becoming a doctor so that I can take care of kids like me. I have been in the hospital a lot, and my mum is a nurse, so I have learned a lot by watching and asking questions. When I"m a doctor , I"ll tell sick kids my story to make them feel better when they "re afraid16. The best title of this reading is _________.A. Where I spend the timeB. A very expensive headC.

From the reading we can know that _______A. Dr. Beck is very good at drawing cartoonsB. The sick child has many funny stories for doctorsC. Hydrocephalus can also cause some other problemsD. Nobody can understand the illness wellE篇"No man is an island" is a well-known line from John Donne s Devotion, written more than three hundred years ago. Even now people still agree with him. No one can live a completely isolated life. Without other people, life became empty and sad. We all need to have friends. For some of us, though making friends is not difficult, feeling sheepish, we may not want to make the first move. It is also difficult at times to keep the friends we al-ready have.There are many books about friendship, but Dale Carnegie\'s How to Win Friends and Influence People, written in 1936, is the most famous. This "how to" book about getting along with other people became a best seller. It was later put into 28 languages.Dale Carnegie\'s advice seems to be simple, but can his advice help you? Do you need to change the way you act? Here is the list of advice from his book:l. Be friendly and polite. Always greet with a smile. Begin with "excuse me" or "would you please" when you want to ask somebody. Remember to say "thank you" and try to be as helpful as you can.2. Go out of your way to be nice. Find some time to do special things for other people. Making some soup fora sick neighbor may seem like a little thing to you, but it will make your neighbor feel a lot better. 3. Remember names. They say that the sweetest music to a person \'s ears is the sound of his or her own name.4.Be open-minded. Try to understand other people’s ways and ideas and learn something from them.5. Listen patiently. When someone is talking to you, look at him or her, listen carefully and say something when necessary. 21. The underlined sentence "No one can live a completely isolated life" means “______”in this passage.A. No one can live a hard lifeB. No one can live without difficultyC. No one can live aloneD.

He inherited(继承) a million dollars when he was 23, but he wasn’t happy at all. When his college friends were looking for their jobs, he didn’t have to. He gave $10,000 of his money to charity to help poor children live a better life. Today he is 36.
