Then I took the paper and only saw the two words written by her: Charity and Family. I smiled and played a joke on her, “Don’t you want to move to a new apartment? This is what you have been dreaming of.”“Actually, I have been looking forward to it, but now it doesn’t seem so important to me anymore,” she answered with a smile.When I was about to put the paper on the table, I found there were still a few words at the very bottom of the paper.

Sally Ride’s first trip into space.I was a guitarist in a rock band for nearly nine years, and before that I took part in every rock concert that came to town. If someone said that I should wear earplugs while playing or listening to music, I would laugh. What was the point of listening to music if you couldn’t enjoy it at full volume?When I first began playing in a band, I noticed that my ears would ring after a concert. But m y hearing would return to normal in a day or two, so I didn’t think there was any problem until my hearing was damaged. I now know that people can lose their hearing if they often listen to loud music.I pay more attention to the dangers of listening to loud music now so that I speak about the subject to students in middle schools and high schools. I tell students about a study in which scientists find that about 17 percent of middle school and high school students have some degree of heraing damage or loss and that the most serious hearing loss happens among students who often take part in rock concerts.Please take my advice: protect your ears. Don’t go to loud rock concerts, or if you do go, use earplugs. It might not seem cool to wear earplugs, but let me tell you, hearing loss is not cool, either.Music once meant everything to me. It was the center of my life and is still important. But protecting my hearing means more. After all, you can’t enjoy great music if you can’t hear it. ( )1.

He is sad that he has played rock music rather than some other types of music.( )4. When the writer speaks to his students, he wants them to ___.A. understand listening to and playing loud rock music an cause hearing loss.B. play in a rock bands.C. know that he still hopes to play in a rock band one day.D. believe that wearing earplugs is the only way to protect their hearing( )5.

I am writing to tell you my strong dissatisfaction.To begin with, the center was not as good as your advertisement had said at all. The coursesfor junior students were not properly managed; therefore, the students were running around during class time.Secondly, the “teachers” there turned out to be university students. They were taking on summer jobs. With less educational training, they had little knowledge of English composition. Their teaching skills were also quite poor. Their teaching was hard to understand. Besides the above-mentioned problems, there were 4 more students in my class than the “nodal class of 10 students.”Furthermore, the “adventure camping program” was delayed because we had to find the teacher who got lost in a sudden fog during our early morning walking.I’m very disappointed with your program. I think you will agree to give my money back to me.Sincerely,Sharon Wang( )1. What did the write do before he wrote the passage?A. He watched a TV program.B. He read a famous book.C.

A student’s fatherAs a learner of English from China, I try to learn English well by reading. I think reading is the best way to study all languages. It can improve our vocabulary, reading and writing. Vocabulary is the most difficult in learning English for me. Remembering new words is very boring but I have to do so. I like reading English novels like Harry Potter and pick up the new words and write them down in a notebook. After reading I will look up the words in the dictionary and try to remember them. This is my favorite way of learning vocabulary because I can learn it though my interest.I am the best at listening and speaking. I try my best to talk to others in English and join different English clubs. Now I still try to improve my speaking and listening by talking to English speakers, watching English programs on TV and seeing English movies.Of course, there is still a long way for me to learn English well, but I’ll try my best.( )1.

However, not everyone celebrate it in the way Americans do.In Spain, it is a tradition to serve everyone twelve grapes just before midnight on New Year’s Eve. When the clock starts to chime everyone puts the grapes into their mouth one by one until all twelve chimes have struck and all 12 grapes are eaten. The New Year can’t start until everyone has finished his or her grapes.It is pretty hard to eat 12 grapes that fast, so a lot of people look like chipmunks. That gets everybody laughing and the New Year gets a cheerful start.In Korea, children try to stay awake through the entire night. They are afraid that if they fall asleep, their eyebrows will turn white! New Year ’s Day is celebrated with family gatherings that include everyone! The children must bow to parents and elders. When this custom has been observed they go outside to fly kites.In Turkey, New Year’s Eve is spent with close family and friends.

外研版新标准英语中考阅读理解、完形填空试题及答案All pet owners know that pets use their body language to communicate with us. They are so dependent on us that they need to express their needs. Cats do this with their ears, bodies and sounds. Sometimes they simply want our attention, while other times, they are telling us: “My food bowl is empty.” Pet owners can soon understand and then satisfy their pets’ needs.The more you show your understanding of what your pets are telling you, the better they will be able to communicate with you. Try paying close attention to what your pet is “telling” you, and you will find he is eager to “talk” to you.New research shows that 62% of people believe that their pets understand them when they speak to them. At least 18% say that their pets understand them completely. 67% think that they understand what their pets want or need. They have also studied other things, for example, how pet owners communicate with their pets. Many families have more than one pet. 74% of pet owners have a dog, while 46% have a cat, according to the research.Although 15% of all pet owners said they had cut spending on their pets in the past year, 48% of dog owners and 28% of cat owners said that they bought their pets gifts last Christmas.( )1.

He had planned to spend up to six hours on the sea floor.“Cameron also spent time filming the Mariana Trench, about 322 kilometers southwest of the Pacific island of Guam.The trip to the deepest point took two hours and 36 minutes, but Cameron’s return aboard was faster than expected.There were no immediate reports about his death. A medical team was on hand when Cameron, the 57-year-old man, coming back from the sea.Dr. Joe MacInnis told National Geographic News before the journey that recent test dives, including one of more than 8 kilometers, and gone well, and that he expected Cameron would be fine.“Jim is going to have a little bit of pain from the narrow position he was confined to, but he’s in really good shape for his age, so I don’t expect any problems at all,” says MacInnis, a long-timeVolunteering is a great way to be good for your community. It can also be a chance to meet new people and learn new skills. If you'd like to give something besides money, go to organizations that are important to you.Do you want to help the world or your community? Do you want to build your own skills, make new friends, and learn? Do you love what you do? Examining these kinds of questions can help you to choose the kind of volunteer work.If you like reading, for example, find out if there is an organization of volunteer tutors in your area. There are organizations doing all kinds of work. Finding the right organization is very important for you.If you are already busy, volunteer your time for an hour or two per week or perhaps one day per month. Try turning off the TV! You might be surprised how much you can accomplish in even a little time. Then, if you find you enjoy the work and have more time to do it, try to do more.If your organization has a formal training, attend it. If not, or if you still don't know where to begin, ask to work with an experienced volunteer or group. Then, ask lots of questions and give it a shot.Sometimes you may have less-pleasant tasks. If you find your work unpleasant, you can look for ways to ease the task or prepare better next time.A. Put it together.B. Start small.C. Look for an organization or activity in your area or community.D. Get training.E. Consider why you want to volunteer.F.

What the doctor said meant that ______________ .A. he did a very successful operationB. the farmer was lucky enough to write after the operationC. the accident helped the farmer to writeD. he taught the farmer to write while he was staying in hospitalBHappiness is for everyone. You don’t need to care about those people who have beautiful houses with large gardens and swimming pools or those who have nice cars and a lot of money and so on. Why? Because those who have big houses may often feel lonely and those who have cars may want to walk on the country roads at their free time.In fact, happiness is always around you if you put your heart into it. When you are in trouble at school, your friends will help you; when you study hard at your lessons, your parents are always taking good care of your life and your health; when you get success, your friends will say congratulations to you; when you do something wrong, people around you will help you to correct it. And when you do something good to others, you will feel happy, too. All these are your happiness. If you notice them, you can see that happiness is always around you.Happiness is not the same as money. It is a feeling of your heart. When you are poor, you can also say you are very happy, because you have something else that can’t be bought with money. When you meet with difficulties, you can say loudly you are very happy, because you have more chances to challenge yourself. So you cannot always say you are poor and you have bad luck. As the saying goes, life is like a revolving(旋转 ) door. When it closes, it also opens. If you take every chance you get, you can be a happy and lucky person.1. Happiness is for_________.A. those who have large and beautiful housesB. those who have carsC. those who have a lot of moneyD. all people2. When you do something wrong, _______________.A. you may correct itB. you will have no chance to challenge yourselfC. anybody will laugh at youD. you will be happy3.

They jumped into the life-raft and watched the boat go under the water.For twenty days they had tins of food, biscuits, and bottles of water. They also had a fishing-line and a machine to make salt water into drinking water – two things which saved their lives. They caught eight to ten fish a day and ate them raw(生的). Then the line broke. “So we had no more fish until something very strange happened. Some sharks came to feed, and the fish under the raft were afraid and came to the surface. I caught them with my hands.”About twenty ships passed them, but no one saw them. After fifty days at sea their life-raft was beginning to break up. Then suddenly it was all over. A fishing boat saw them and picked them up. They couldn’t stand up. So the captain(船长) carried them onto his boat and took them to Costa Rica. Their two months at sea was over.1.

But it can be very terrible when there is a strong wind.The sea is very big. It nearly covers three quarters of the earth. The sea isalso very deep in some places. There is one place and at that place the sea is about 11 kilometers deep. The highest mountain in the world is about 9 kilometers high. If that mountain was put into the sea at that place, there would be still 2 kilometers of water above it!In most parts of the sea, there are many kinds of fishes and plants. Some live near the top of the sea. Others live deep down. There are also a lot of small living things, and lots of fishes live by eating them.The sea can be very cold. When people go down, the sea becomes colder and colder. Only some men can go down into the deep sea. But, in 1970, five women scientists (科学家) lived in the deep sea for fourteen days.1.
