【人教新目标】2019年中考英语二轮复习专项练习：阅读理解(八)附答案
2019年中考英语阅读理解编习题（8）附答案【能力选练】 A（2019中考训练题）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 review B． a science bookC． a school report D． a computer magazine2．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 drops B． that the water under the ice is frozenC． that the ocean water under the ice moves D． that the surface is covered with lots of ice5．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.【解析】试题分析：本文是一篇科普文，介绍了北极点的有关情况。
首先指出北极和南极并不像人们想象的那么相像，接着从冰层厚、气温低等方面介绍恶劣的环境，然后插入了100多年前两个人克服重重困难走到北极的故事，证明了北极的大部分地区无人居住。
最后介绍了海水在冰下的运动常常会引起表面上许多不同的变化。

2019年中考英语二轮专练：阅读理解（4）含答案Passage 1（2019中考日常生活类训练）Have you ever seen a car without a driver? It sounds crazy, but these computer-driven driverless cars will soon be filling roads near you. Companies like Google and Tesla have been designing and testing these cars, and the technology is there.So how? The cars have sensors（感应器）all around which can find other cars and objects in the road. Road signs are read by cameras, and satellite navigation systems（卫星导航系统）are used so the car knows how to get where you want to go. All you have to do is type in the address! Finally, a central computer system takes in all the information that it receives from the sensors and cameras and works out when to speed up, stop and turn.Sound like your idea of heaven（天堂）? Sitting back, looking out of the windows and even watching a film or reading a book while ‘driving’ would be possible with this new technology. You wouldn’t have to worry about remembering directions to where you’re going. In addition, computers woul d also drive more safely than people — they would obey the rules and have quicker action times when in dangerous situations.However, there are many drawbacks of driverless cars. Computers would have difficulties making ethical（道德的）decisions: if a child ran into the road, would the computer choose to hit the child or turn suddenly and potentially kill the car’s passengers? Moreover, I personally find driving fun –I’d miss never driving a car myself. There would also be many other decisions to be made –should children, or drunk people, be allowed in a driverless car by themselves? Or would there need to be a person with a driving license in the car at all times?I’m not certain I’d want a driverless car –but it’s only a matter of time before they’ll become more affordable and popular on our roads.1. When using a driverless car, you need only .A. read the road signs carefullyB. check the camerasC. put the address into the computerD. remember the directions2. The third paragraph mainly tells us about the of driverless cars.A. instructionsB. standardsC.advantages D. tests3. The underlined word “potentially” in Paragraph 4 means ““.A. possiblyB. successfullyC. especiallyD. naturally4. What’s the writer’s opinion about future driverless cars?A. They’ll cause more accidents.B. They’ll be less expensive.C. They’ll use less energy.D. They’ll run muchfaster.参考答案1C 2C 3A 4BPassage 2（2019中考教育类选练）Drunk driving has become a serious problem not only in China but also in other countries. In America, a local organization is taking action to stop it. Now, it is looking for 50 musicians and performers to make a series of CDs named Kids Saving Kids.If your music is chosen, it will be nationally promoted(提升) and sold on the market. Thousands of music fans around the world will hear it. You don’t need to pay for all this.It is a chance for young performers to use their songs to save lives. People can get the music on the Internet for free. When they visit the website, they will see information about drunk driving. This will make people pay more attention to the great danger of drunk driving. The information is made by students from all over America. This project is the first of its kind.“It’s a good idea to use music to save other children’s lives. Drunk driving influences everyone.I hope you will join me in this fight. Together we can all make a difference,” said one of the organizers.You can send your music to the organization at ksksubmit@. At the same time, you should provide MP3s of your songs. Also, you should write down your age, address and your parents’ phone numbers.Besides the above requirements, there are some additional requirements:You must want to make a difference with your music.You must be younger than 18 years old.You must have at least one song written by yourself.( ) 1 The local organization is looking for musicians and performers ________.A. to sell music on the marketB. to form another organizationC. to make a series of CDsD. to stop them from drunk drinking( ) 2 For young performers, it is a good chance to use their songs for ________.A. making moneyB. saving kids’ livesC. helping the poorD. supporting their families( ) 3 The musicians and performers are required to ________ by the local organization.A. make their music differentB. be at least 18 years oldC. write all the songs by themselvesD. write down their phone numbers ( ) 4 Which of the following do you think is the best title for this passage?A. Joining the Organization’s Fight.B. Using Music to Save Kids’ Lives.C. A Series of CDs by Young Performers.D. The Danger of Drunk Driving.参考答案1.C 2.B 3.A 4.BPassage 3（2019中考保健与健康类选练）There have always been a lot of commonly believed but false(虚假的) ideas about being fat and doing exercise. Some people believe that they can't help putting an weight as they get older, while others hold that if they stop exercising, their muscles(肌肉) will turn into fat. Here are some more myths.I’ll never lose weight--I come from a fat familyWrong! While we can't change the body type we are born with, we can't blame our genes(基因) for making us fat. There's plenty of evidence that fatness runs in families, and the main reason is that they share the same habit of eating too much and exercise too little.I am fat because I bur n calories slowlyWrong! Fatness is not caused by a slow metabolism(新陈代谢). In fact, although fat people consume(消耗) more energy than slim people, they also fail to realize how much they eat. Keeping a diary can help you work out your daily food intake more accurately(精确地).Exercise is boringWrong! Anything will become boring if you do it again and again. The key is to develop a balanced and varied(各种的) program that's fun as well as progressive(不断进步的). If you enjoy a Sunday walk, take a different mute. If you do yoga(瑜伽), try a tai chi class.No pain, no gainWrong! Exercise is not meant to hurt. Indeed, pain is your body telling you something's wrong, and continuing to exercise could lead to serious injury(伤害). You may experience mild discomfort as you begin to exercise regularly, but this is your body adapting to the positive changes in your lifestyle and the aches should disappear quickly. If they don't, rest and ask for medical advice.1. What does the writer think about being fat?A. It is the family genes that make people fat.B. People are fat because they consume too little energy.C. A diary of exercise can prevent people from becoming fat.D. It is the result of people's unbalanced lifestyle.2. According to the writer, how can we make exercise more interesting?A. By taking all kinds of exercise.B. By choosing simple exercise.C. By doing regular exercise.D. By sticking to outdoor exercise.3. What is the writer's opinion about "No pain, no gain" in exercising?A. Keeping fit is essentially a painful experience.B. Exercise should be stopped if continuous pain is felt.C. Pain in exercise is a precondition(前提) for reaching your goal.D. Getting used to pain leads to positive changes in your body.4. The underlined words “adapting to” means “_______” in Chinese.A. 适应B.顺从 C. 摆脱 D. 陷入5. What is the purpose of the passage?A. To show the importance of keeping fit.B. To clarify(澄清) some misconceptions(误解) about fatness and exercise.C. To confirm what has long been believed about keeping fit.D. To explain some medical facts about being fat and doing exercise.参考答案1D 2A 3B 4A 5BPassage 4（2019中考科普环保类选练）The World’s Water ShortageThe world is not only hungry, but it is also thirsty for water. This may seem strange to you, since nearly 70 percent（百分比）of the earth’s surface i s covered with water. But about 97 percent of this huge amount is sea water, or salt water. Man can only drink and use the other 3 percent－the fresh water from rivers, lakes, underground, and other s ources（资源）. And we cannot even use all of that, because some of it is in the form of icebergs and glaciers（冰川）. Even worse, some of it has been polluted.However, as things stand today, this small amount of fresh water is still enough for us. But our need for water is increasing（增加）rapidly－almost day by day. Only if we take steps to deal with this problem now can we avoid（避免）a severe（严重的）worldwide water shortage later on.We all have to learn how to stop wasting our valuable water. One of the first steps is to develop ways of reusing it.Today in most large cities, water is used only once and then sent out into a sewer system （下水道）. From there it returns to the sea or runs into underground storage tanks. But it is possible to pipe used water to a purifying（净化）plant. There it can be treated with chemicals so that it can be used again, just as if it were fresh from a spring.But even if every large city purified and reused its water, we still would not have enough. All we’d have to do to make use of the vast reserves（贮备）of sea water in the world is to remove the salt.If we take these steps we’ll be in no danger of drying up.1. The world is thirsty for water because we can only use _________ percent of the water covering the surface of the earth.A. 3B. more than 3C. less than 3D. 972. Which of the following statements is Not true?A. As things remain unchanging, this small amount of fresh water is still enough for us.B. Our need for water is becoming larger and larger.C. There will be no water shortage in the future.D. We should take steps to deal with the water shortage problem.3. To reuse water, we should __________.A. treat it with chemicalsB. use it only onceC. send it out into a sewer systemD. make it flow into underground tanks4. In or der to have enough water, we should also make use of _________.A. icebergs and glaciersB. sea waterC. rivers and lakeD. underground water5. In the passage, the writer tells us ________.A. to make enough waterB. to pay more attention to the water shortage problemC. to pipe used water to a purifying plantD. to reuse the water参考答案CCABBPassage 5（2019中考选练）These days the subject of safety on campus is talked about quite often.

It means that you must think about the meaning of the sentence, the meanings of the unfamiliar words, etc. There is no need for you to pay much attention to grammars or try to understand all the unfamiliar words you come across, but the fact that you see them for the first time and recognize them whenever you see them, for example in other passages or books, is enough. It would be better to prepare yourself a notebook so you can write down the important words or sentences in it_As for listening, there are two choices: besides reading, you can listen every day for about 30 minutes. You can only pay attention to your reading and become skillful at your reading, then you can catch up on your listening. Since you have lots of inputs in your mind, you can easily guess what the speaker is going to say. This never means that you should not practice listening.For listening you can listen to cartoons or some movies that are specially made for children. Their languages are easy. Or if you are good at listening you can listen to VOA or BBC programs every day. Again the thing to remember is being active in listening and preferably taking some notes.If you follow these pieces of advice, your speaking and writing will improve automatically, and you can be sure that with a little effort they will become perfect.1. According to the author, which should you improve first among the four skills?A. Reading and writing.B. Reading and listening.C. Writing andspeaking. D. Speaking and listening.2. The underlined phrase "come across" in Paragraph 2 can probably be replaced by "_______".A. meet byaccident B. discoverC. find on purposeD. look for3. The author seems to agree with the view that_______.A. everyone should listen to VOA or BBC programs every dayB. you needn't practice listening if you keep on reading every dayC. being good at reading is helpful in improving your listeningD. you should take notes of whatever you are hearing4. The passage is mainly about how to_______.A. choose suitable listening materialsB. deal with new words in readingC. read as many English books as possibleD. become fluent in speaking and writing English参考答案BACD【能力选练】 B中考英语阅读理解****浪费可耻Waste can be seen everywhere in the school. Some students ask for more food than they can eat and others often forget to turn off the lights when they leave the classroom. They say they can afford these things. But I don’t agree with them.Waste can bring a lot of problems. Although China is rich in some resources(资源), we are short of(缺乏) others, for example, fresh water(淡水). It is reported that we will have no coal(煤) or oil to use in 100 years. So if we go on wasting our resources,what can we use in the future and where can we move? Think about it. I think we should say no to the students who waste things every day. Everybody should stop wasting as soon as possible.In our everyday life, we can do many things to prevent waste from happening, for example, turn off the water taps(水龙头) when we finish washing, turn off the lights when we leave the classroom, try not to order more food than we need, and so on. Little by little, everything will be changed. Waste can be stopped one day, if we do our best.◆根据以上短文内容，然后从每题所给的四个选项中选择最佳选项。

2019中考（人新）英语八下U8阅读练习及答案一、阅读理解。
AImagine one day, the water taps(水龙头) in your house stop running. You have to buy water from shops. And still there isn’t enough for everyone. Your mother has to save the family’s shower water to do other things. Would you be able to stand that kind of life?Probably not. But that’s what kids in Yemen are experiencing. Experts said Yemen is going to be the first country in the world to run out of water. According to a report, the capital, Sana, will run out of drinking water as early as 2025.Because of the shortage, the government often cuts the water supply(供应). Hannan, an 18-year-old from Lahej, told Times: “In a good week we’ll have a water supply all week. But then the following week there will be water only for a day or two.”Hannan said only rich people have enough water to use. They can buy water from the shops or from the water trucks. Private companies own the trucks. They travel around the city every day to sell water—at very high prices. “A lot of people can’t afford it,” she said.The average (平均) person in Yemen uses 100 to 200 cubic（立方）meters of water per year. That is far below the international water poverty(贫困) line of 1,000 cubic meters.The government is thinking of making use of seawater. But it will cost a lot and it may not happen soon enough to help the people of Yemen.1．_____________ is the name of the capital city of Yemen.A. SanaB. LahejC. HannanD. Times2．A report shows that Sana will have ____________ as early as 2025.A. enough drinking water to useB. no drinking water to useC. no private companiesD. more water pollution3．What does the underlined word “shortage” in the third paragraph mean in Chinese?A. 充足B. 短缺C. 干旱D. 需求4．We can infer(推断) from the passage that _____________.A. the poor don’t have to worry about the water supplyB. the 18-year-old boy is from a poor familyC. private companies make a lot of moneyD. Lahej is a beautiful place5．Which of the following do you think is the best title for this passage?A. How to Save WaterB. How to Make Use of SeawaterC. How People Use Water FullyD. Yemen is Facing Serious Water Shortage【答案】1．A 2．B 3．B 4．C 5．D【解析】试题分析：这篇短文给我们讲述了现在水资源的缺乏，尤其提到了也门这个国家，根据一项报告，也门的首都萨那到2025年的时候，就将没有饮用水了。

Teenagers need nine to ten hours. Andpre-school children need more than 10 hours of sleep a night.Experts say the quality（质量）of our sleep becomes poor as we grow older. This happens because the brain unit that controls sleep begins to weaken slowly as we age.Experts say the change starts in our 30s. By the time we reach our 50s, a person may have lost 50 percent of his or her ability to have a restful sleep.These people have trouble falling and staying asleep through the night. From middle age on, these problems only get worse, and they can have a bad effect on their health.Signs that show you may not be getting enough sleep:You’re always hungry or you’ve got unwanted weight. If you are in short of sleep, certain chemicals（化学物质）in your body will not work well and tell your brain in time that you have eaten enough.You have trouble making decisions. Not having enough sleep may make your brain work slower in problem solving.You have trouble remembering things. Sleep helps prepare the brain for new memories.Your feeling changes unreasonably. People who don’t sleep well may feel unable to control their feeling.You are having trouble seeing. If there is a shortage of sleep, you may not be able to see things as clearly as usual.How to improve your sleep?

It can keep your body energetic and help fight against the burning sun. Another good choice is colorful fruits and vegetables. They not only relax our eyes, but are full of healthy chemicals. Tomatoes can help protect your skin against sunburn. Blueberries are good for your brain and eyes. The more color, the better!With all those summertime activities you will be thirsty. What to drink? Water. Water has zero calories （卡路里）and is the perfect drink to stop your thirst （口渴）.Try not to drink too many energy drinks, sports drinks and soda drinks which have lots of sugar and caffeine（咖啡因）in them.Stay active and coolSummer is a great season to enjoy outdoor activities and play.

These sports keep you cool and active at the same time. You’ll have no problem beating the heat and keeping fit as well.Be careful of the sunshineSummer allows us more chances to get outside, but it also means more possibilities to get burnt by the sunshine. If you are going outside, keep away from the sun when it’s the strongest—usually between 11 a.m. and 3 p.m. Ifyou have to stay in the sun for a long time, sunscreen（防晒霜）, a big hat anda long-sleeve jacket will be necessary.8.How many pieces of advice does the writer give us?A.Two.B.Three.C.Four.D.Five.9.The following things can help fight against the burning sunEXCEPT .A.fishB.tomatoesC.sunscreenD.sports drinks10.Which of the following is NOT right?A.Water sports can help you feel cool and active in summer.B.You’d better not go outside from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. in summer.C.Energy drinks are better than water to stop thirst.D.Summer is a good time to lose weight.11.Which can be the best title of the passage?A.How to Stay HealthyB.How to Lose WeightC.Enjoy Outdoor Activities in SummerD.Keep Fit in SummerDEveryone talks about the advantage of taking time out for “simple pleasures”. The idea is that we will be happier if we often do inexpensive, easy-to-do activities.However, the problem for many of us is that we don’t know what makes us happy.When I was in college, my mother gave me some wise advice. She said,“Before you get married and live with another person, you need to spend some time living by yourself. You need to get to know yourself.”So I did exactly that. For almost two years, I lived by myself. I found that I loved to spend hours looking around in bookstores. I also loved to spend an afternoon just walking around the city. And every so often, I needed the moments of pure silence.But, of course, we all don’t enjoy the same things.A simple pleasure for me would be to spend an hour reading a book in my backyard. However, that same activity would give my husband no pleasure. We are all so different.Sometimes, we already know what makes us happy. However, as life gets busier and we get older, we put aside our simple pleasures.For example, I had to give up playing the flute（长笛）when I started working and had family responsibilities. Playing my flute seemed selfish（自私的）when no one else in my family could join, but three years ago I returned to playing the flute. I regret having ever stopped.Simple pleasures are neither simple nor universal（普遍的）.Our simple pleasures are a reflection（反映）of who we are. They are different activities that give each of us joy.Certainly there are some common topics—such as being out in nature, doing something creative, or enjoying music and literature—but beyond that, each of us has to find out what it is that feeds our souls（灵魂）.That isn’t always easy in a world in which we have to consider other people’s needs and opinions as well asour own, but enjoying simple pleasures is something that each of us deserves（应得）.Think of it as your right, and say to yourself, “Today, I’m going to discover what my simple pleasures are.”12.What is the writer’s opinion about simple pleasures?A.They change as we grow older.B.They can reflect our characters.C.It’s expensive to achieve them.D.People with no responsibilities can enjoy them.13.What does the writer want to tell by sharing her experience of living alone?A.Wise people often take their mothers’advice.B.A couple don’t necessarily share the same interests.C.It’s necessary to live alone before getting married.D.It’s worth spending time alone enjoying simple pleasures.14.What can we learn from the writer’s experience of playing the flute?A.We should develop an interest that others can take part in.B.Making our family happy is better than making ourselves happy.C.Keeping our interests alive is a good method to make ourselves happy.D.Family responsibilities are more important than our own interests.15.In the last two paragraphs, the writerA.suggests readers pay no attention to others’opinionsB.encourages readers to get simple pleasures activelyC.teaches readers to balance others’needs with their own needsD.reminds readers to realize simple pleasures are the most important part of life参考答案A1-3DACB[主旨大意] 本文是一篇说明文,阐述了不同年龄段的人每晚需要多长时间的睡眠以及睡眠不足有哪些表现。

2019年中考英语阅读理解编习题（6）附答案【能力选练】 A（2019中考科普环保类选练）Satellites are an important part of our ordinary lives. For example, the information for weather forecasts is sent by satellite. Some satellites have cameras which take photographs of the Earth to show how clouds are moving .Satellites are also used to connect our international phone calls.Computer connections of the World Wide Web and Internet also use satellites. Many of our TV programs come to US through satellites. Airplane pilots also sometimes use a satellite to help them find their exact location.We use satellites to send television pictures from one part of the world to another. They are usually 35，880 kilometers above the equator. Sometimes we can see a satellite in the sky and it seems to stay in the same place. This is because it is moving around the world at 11，000 kilometers an hour—exactly the same speed that the earth rotates.A satellite must orbit the Earth with its antennae facing the earth. Sometimes, it moves away from its orbit，So there are little rockets on it which are used to put the satellite back in the right position .This usually happens about every five or six days.Space is not empty! Every week, more and more satellites are sent into space to orbit the Earth. A satellite usually works for about 10-12 years. Satellites which are broken are sometimes repaired by astronauts or sometimes brought back to Earth to be repaired. Often，very old or broken satellites are left in space to orbit the Earth for a very long time. This is very serious because some satellites use nuclear power and they can crash into each other.1.Which of the following is NOT done by satellites according to the passage?A. Sending information for weather forecast.B. Taking photographs of the Earth.C. Sending TV pictures.D. Providing food for airplane pilots.2.What’s the speed the earth rotates at?A.35,880 kilometers per hour.B.335,880 kilometers per hour.C.11,000 kilometers per hour.D.110,000 kilometers per hour3.Why does the satellite move around the world at the same speed as the Earth rotates?A. In order to take photographs.B. In order to stay in a certain position in the orbit.C. In order to move away from its orbit.D. In order to send television pictures.4.What does the underlined word “This” in the 3rd paragraph refer to?A. A satellite.B.A little rocket.C. A satellite seems to stay in the same place in the sky.D. The satellite puts the rockets in the right position.5.Which is true of satellites?A. A satellite usually works for about 10-12 years.B .Every time a satellite gets broken，it is brought back to the Earth to be repaired.C. A broken satellite is never left in space.D.

On Christmas Eve when Paul came out of his office, a street urchin(顽童) was walking around the shining car. “Is this your car, sir?” he asked.Paul answered, “Yes, my brother gave it to me for Christmas.” The boy was surprised. “You mean your brother gave it to you and it did cost you nothing? Sir, I wish…”He hesitated(犹豫). Paul thought of course he knew what the boy wanted, but what the boy said surprised him greatly. “I wish,” the boy went on, “that I could be a brother like that.” Paul looked at the boy in surprise, and then he said again, “Would you like to take a ride in my car?” “Oh yes, I’d love to,” the boy answered.After a short ride, the boy turned and with his eyes shining, said, “Sir, would you mind driving in front of my house?”Paul smiled a little. He thought he knew what the boy wanted. He wanted to show his neighbors that he could ride home in a big car. But Paul was wrong again. “Will you stop where those two steps are?” the boy asked.He ran up to the steps. Then in a short while Paul heard him coming back, but he was not coming fast. He was carrying his little crippled(残疾的) brother. He sat down on the step and pointed to the car.“There he is, Buddy, just like I told you upstairs. Hi s brother gave it to him for Christmas and it didn’t cost him a cent. And some day I’m going to give you one just like it…then you can see for yourself all the nice things in the Christmas windows that I’ve been trying to tell you about.”Paul got out and lifted the boy to the front seat of his car.

2019中考英语：阅读理解（限时:30分钟）AHave you ever been on a student exchange program? How useful was it? We asked three people for their opinions.EllenI spent 8 days in Germany when I was studying for my Level A. I went to school every day, and spent the evenings with a family. It was great because I had to speak German all the time. However, the most useful thing was that I was paying more attention to communicating in the language, instead of speaking perfectly correct German. I was really glad that people could understand what I was saying. I’d certainly introduce it to other students studying languages.FrankI went on an exchange with my class for a week in Japan. Before the exchange, I thought my understanding of grammar was pretty good, but I had much trouble in listening and speaking. So, what I thought most meaningful was that I had no choice but to use everyday language skills, rather than the language from books. If I had the opportunity, I’d certainly take part in another language exchange.AliceI took part in a French exchange. It lasted two weeks, and I stayed with my exchange family in a small town just outside Paris. I’m quite a shy person,so in the first few days, I was kind of nervous, but then it was fine. I love French and my French has always been good. But the exchange really helped develop my speaking skills, and made me a much more confident（自信的）person. It felt great to be able to talk with French people. I also found that everyone who took part in the exchange did a lot better in their end-of-year exams.1.How long did Frank stay in Japan?A.For a week.B.For eight days.C.For two weeks.D.For half a year.2.What did Alice think about her exchange?A.It developed her listening skills.B.It made her more confident.C.It taught her exam skills.D.It took too much of her time.3.All three people would most likely describe their exchangeas .A.tiringB.excitingC.boringD.helpful4.Who will be interested in the passage above?A.Students who are learning a foreign language.B.Students who want to work as teachers later.C.Students who are interested in traveling abroad.D.Students who are not doing well in their studies.BThere are different ways to celebrate Teachers’Day in different countries across the world.China （September 10）In China, Teachers’Day is celebrated on September 10. It was first celebrated in 1931. In 1939, the day was set on August 27, Confucius’birthday. In 1985, it was decided that the day was to be celebrated on September 10. The day is celebrated in almost all schools in the country where the students show their appreciation to the teachers, such as presenting the gifts including cards and flowers.Malaysia （May 16）In Malaysia, Teachers’Day is known as “Hari Guru”and is celebrated every year on May 16. The celebrations are usually held on May 16, or earlier if it falls on a Saturday or Sunday. The celebration is mainly in the schools and colleges with students giving greeting cards, flowers, books and other things of appreciation to their teachers.India （September 5）In India, Teachers’Day is better known as “Shikshak Divas”and is celebrated on September 5 every year. It is celebrated in almost every school in India, with teachers and students going to school as usual but the usual activities and classes are replaced（代替）by activities of celebration, thanks and remembrance. Even many former（以前的）students show respect to the former teachers by visiting them and handing a rose.Vietnam （November 20）Teachers’Day is celebrated in Vietnam on November 20 and is betterknown as “Vietnamese Educators’Day”. It was first celebrated in 1958. Today, the holiday provides an opportunity for students to show respect to their teachers. Senior students usually visit their teachers to offer flowers and small gifts. Former students also show respect to their former teachers on this day.5.Which is NOT true about Teachers’Day in Malaysia?A.The celebrations are always held on May 16 every year.B.It is celebrated earlier than May 16 if it comes on weekends.C.It is mainly celebrated in the schools and colleges.D.The students give greeting cards, flowers and books to their teachers.6.When do people celebrate Teachers’Day in India?A.On May 16.B.On September 5.C.On September 10.D.On November 20.7.The passage mainly tells us .A.the different customs to give gifts in different countriesB.what the students give to their teachers on ChristmasDayC.the different ways to celebrate Teachers’Day in different countriesD.how the students appreciate their teachers in different countriesCJohn and Nancy were so excited, because their parents promised them a trip to Disneyland if they did well in school, so the kids were studying hard for their finals. They didn’t know that their father had purchased the plane tickets and booked the hotel already.After weeks of preparing for their tests, John and Nancy passed their tests. They were on their way to the airport to catch the early flight to Orlando.As soon as the plane took off, Nancy started to complain about getting an earache caused by the pressure change（气压变化）, while John was so busy looking out of the window, and telling his mom that the cars on the highway looked so tiny from the plane. About half an hour later, they were both sound asleep. They slept throughout the flight, and woke up only when their mother told them that the plane was about to land.Once they landed, John asked, “Are we going to Disneyland now, Daddy?”“No, not now, John. We’ll go tomorrow,”the father replied.“But why not now, Daddy?”Nancy asked.“Because we have to check into the hotel first, and then get something to eat, and by then, it’ll be too late to go to the park,”her mother said.The next morning, John got up at 6:00 a.m. and woke everyone up. “Up, up, everyone! We have to go. We don’t want to be late,”he shouted.So, all of them woke up, took their showers, had their breakfast at a nearby restaurant, and went to Disneyland. John and Nancy loved all the fun rides in the park and had lunch with Mickey. The family had lots of fun visiting Animal Kingdom, Epcot, and Universal Studios throughout the week they spent in Orlando.The kids thought that was the best week because their parents made their dream of taking a trip to Disneyland come true.8.The underlined word “purchased”means .A.boughtB.soldC.looked forD.given up9.The third paragraph mainly tells us .A.what they saw on the planeB.what they did on the planeC.how to deal with an earache on the planeD.how to sleep well on the plane10.Why did John get up so early and wake others up the next morning?A.Because he couldn’t wait to go to Disneyland.B.Because the service in the hotel was bad.C.Because he wanted to take a shower earlier than others.D.Because he was hungry and wanted to get something to eat.11.Which of the following is NOT true about Disneyland according to the passage?A.It’s John and Nancy’s dream to take a trip to Disneyland.B.John and Nancy liked the fun rides in Disneyland.C.John and Nancy had lunch with Mickey.D.When the plane landed, they went to Disneyland at once.DMom and Dad are two of the most important people in your life. You probably see at least one of them every day and, over your lifetime, they may influence you more than anyone else you will meet.Moms and Dads need to care for their kids from the minute they were born. It’s a parent’s job to love and help kids—and most parents will try their best to do this, even when the “kids”grow up and have children of their own. That means you have many years ahead to share with your mom and dad.Here are some ways you can stay close, get along, and build a strongrelationship（关系）.Spend time together. Don’t play a computer game or watch TV by yourself. Ask your mom and dad to play with you, go outside together, play a game, or read a book out loud. Try to spend more time together.Share your feelings and ask for help. Many kids say they’d like their parents to help them when they’re unhappy. Tell them if you’re sad or have a problem. They’ll be happy to help you.Be kind and caring. Little things might mean a lot to your mom or dad. You can brighten a parent’s day with a hug, a card, or a joke. It’s also lovely when a kid cleans up his or her room without being asked. It’s important to show that you care for each other. Kids and parents show their love by respecting（尊重）each other, and being caring, polite and thoughtful.Do your best at whatever you do. You don’t have to be perfect, but when you do your best, you make your parents proud. It makes them happy to see how you’re turning into a great kid. Why? Because it lets them know you’re doing a good job.12.Your parents are two of the most important people in your life because they .A.see you every dayB.have a duty to care for youC.need your helpD.influence you more than anyone else13.Most parents even when their kids have grown up.A.stop helping their kidsB.try their best to help their kidsC.leave their kidsD.are busy doing exercise14.What should kids do when they’re unhappy?A.Watch TV by themselves.B.Play a game with their parents.C.Tell their parents and ask for help.D.Be kind to their parents.15.Which can be the best title of the passage?A.Getting Along with Your ParentsB.Talking to Your ParentsC.When Your Parents FightD.Spending More Time with Your Parents参考答案A[主旨大意] 本文讲述了三名学生对交换生活动的看法。
