(共10分，每小题2分)Why is Denmark the ―kingdom of fairy tales‖? Because it was the home of famous writer Hans Christian Andersen. But there might be other reasons, says a new study.Denmark is the happiest country in the world, according to the 2013 World Happiness Report by the United Nations (UN). The report ranks（排列）156 countries and regions (地区). All the top five happiest countries are from Europe, and three of them are from Scandinavia.What makes people there happy? The UN considered several reasons.Money is one. We are happy if we have money to cover our necessities. But extra (额外的) money cannot bring us more happiness. People in Northern Europe know this. From cars to mobile phones, from clothes to buildings, their designs are quite simple. Luxury (奢华) is not there.Another reason is health. Nordic (北欧的) people have a healthy diet. They love fresh food. ―There is not a big fast-food culture and no ready meals. We sit down with our families to eat our meals,‖ said Trina Hahnemann, a Danish cook.A harmonious (和谐的) social life also makes us happy, according to the UN report. How about Nordic people? They live in harmony not only with people around, but also with nature. Night life is not popular in Scandinavia. People go home after work for some quality（高品质的）time with family members. Many families have a backyard. Father and child spend hours there each week, planting flowers and building swings.Do you want to be happy? Think about the Nordic lifestyle, and happiness is in your own hands.61. Where does Hans Christian Andersen come from?62. How many countries of the top five happiest countries are from Scandinavia?63. Do Nordic people love fresh food or ready meals?64. What can make people happy according to the passage?65. What does the writer want to tell us?二、2015年顺义区初三第一次模拟练习八、阅读短文，根据短文内容回答问题。

They can have more chance to make themselves successful. But how to be more confident? Here are some suggestions: ·Speak loud When you are not confident, you can't do well what you want to do.

The high voice can help you become more confident.·Play sports Physical exercise makes you tired but completely relaxed. A strong body helps you be full of confidence.·Encourage yourself Write down a list of things you did during the day to see how many things you have done well. Did you finish your homework? Did you tell a joke that made everybody laugh? Give yourself praise for the good things you've done.·Get rid of fear Fear comes along with failure. But it's easy to overcome （克服）if you know that failure is part of your life. Don't hide your head just because you said something stupid last time. Try to start again and believe you can do better.·Pick up a hobby If you like singing, sing as much as you can. In some ways, a hobby can make you outstanding.

No one can look bad if they smile.For long legs, point one leg into center of the frame and get the photographer to shoot looking up your body.For just leg shots, lie upside down and raise legs in the air for the best angle. And your legs will look thinner and be in better shape.Keep shoulders back.Always have mouth slightly open, enough to put a penny between your lips, as this will make your lips look fuller.Lower your eyes and then look up just as shutter (快门) is clicked for full eyes.Try to catch every perfect photogenic moment!61.

2015北京市中考英语一模阅读B篇汇编含答案一、北京市朝阳区2015中考一模BSpam (垃圾邮件) mail is a fact of Internet life. Some of it carries bad things, but the main problem with spam is that it is unpleasant because it fills your mail box with pointless messages.Most email programs have built-in filters (过滤器) that will discover unwanted messages and put them into a junk folder (垃圾文件夹). You can make the filter learn what you consider to be spam or block certain senders.Avoid letting your email address appear on websites—spammers search the Internet for email addresses. Be careful who you give your email address to, and if you need to send out several copies of an email, use blind copy instead to cover the other people’s addresses.Delete (删除) spam emails without opening them. Signs of possible spam are bad spelling in email headers, strange sender addresses, or emails sent at unusual hours. If you do open a spam mail, never reply to it or click on any pictures it may have.If you receive an unexpected email pretending (伪装) to come from your bank, credit card company or other suppliers, be very careful. If the email asks you to reply, don’t do it! Instead, call up these places or visit their websites.Consider setting up a second email address and keep one address for your personal use and another for your online communication.44.

These stories often have a lesson to teach, too. Here are the stories of some everyday household inventions.Canned Food and the Can Opener—Get It Right!Peter Durand invented canned food in 1810, but there was a problem. Durand didn't have a good way to open the cans. In 1858, Ezra Warner invented a can opener. It used a piece of metal to cut and remove the top from the can, but it was difficult to use. Finally, in 1870, William Lyman added a wheel to the can opener. The metal went around the top of the can and removed it easily. Finally, people were able to open cans without a lot of work. Canned food was soon popular.Frozen Food—A Little Good Luck Can Help!Clarence Birdseye had the chance to go on a trip to如e Arctic. When people there caught fish, they put the fish in a container (容器) of ice to freeze it quickly. When people cooked the fish later, it was still good! This gave Birdseye an idea. He thought people could also have this kind of food at home. In 1926, Birdseye invented frozen food. People were able to store food in freezers for a long time.Air Conditioning—One Answer to Two Problems!Printing companies make books, so they use a lot of paper. Sometimes, changes in the weather can hurt the paper. In 1902, Willis Carrier invented air conditioning to control the temperature inside his printing company. This saved the paper. People soon realized other benefits of air conditioning. They started to air condition their homes in the summer. Carrier's invention changed the world!44. When was canned food invented?A. In 1810.B.

However, putting your feet on the table, using iPads, eating and drinking may also take place in school. Americans are famous for their casual (随意的)style. I didn’t think it was a big deal until I arrived here.I was told sitting still is what you should do in middle school. That is a traditional Chinese way to show that we are paying attention to what the teacher is saying. Meanwhile, it doesn’tseem to matter in the US. When I first saw a student lying on a sofa, I was shocked and thought the teacher may feel angry, but she didn’t. She just smiled and kept talking. Then I got used to it, and enjoyed the relaxing and comfortable position (姿势) in class. Yet it’s really easy to fall asleep if I feel too comfortable.Also, we don’t have uniforms at school. We can wear whatever we want. And teenagers here feel free to eat breakfast, snacks, and drink soda while teachers are talking. Teachers won’t feel upset and may even eat with them. Once, my English teacher was secretly eating a bag of chips in her seat.American teachers chat with students in class. It makes us feel closer to them. Although it does mean we go off topic easily.

A九、平谷区2014-2015学年度初三统练（一）BSometimes people call ours a "throwaway society". That means that we're always throwing away old things and buying new ones. Many times, you no longer need something, but someone else may just need to buy one. For example, if your baby doesn't like his toy car any longer, why not give it to a nearly family who has a little kid? That's one less plastic toy car that they need to buy. It's also one less plastic toy that needs to be produced, packaged and shipped to the toy store.Here arc some other ways to help the society save resources (资源):★Use the other side of the paper so that less trees are cut down.★Use rechargeable (可再充电的) batteries for your electric toys, MP3 players, cell phones, and cameras.★ Choose reusable travel cups instead of disposable (一次性的) paper or plastic cups.★Take your own cloth shopping bags instead of using the plastic bags that are offered when you go shopping. ★ Drink tap water instead of buying bottled water.And there are some things you can exchange with your friends, for example, books, toys, even clothes. It's a way for everyone to get something new without spending any money and without throwing many things away.45. What does “throwaway society” mean according to the passage?A. we don’t like old things.B. we don’t buy new things.C. we’re always throwing away old things.D. we’re always throwing away old thi ngs and buying new ones.46.

Buy everything we need instead of exchanging them with others.答案：45-48 DDCA十、石景山区2015年初三英语一模试卷BAmerican English is full of colorful expressions. One such expression is to touch all bases.There are four bases in baseball – first, second, third and home plate. When a baseball player hits the ball, he must run to each base – in order – and touch it with his foot. It is the only way to get a point. If the player hits the ball and fails to touch all the bases, the point will not be counted.The importance of touching all the bases was shown at the start of the 1974 baseball seasons.Hank Aaron was a player with the Atlanta Braves team. He was trying to find the record for hitting the most home runs (全垒打). Aaron needed just one home run to be well matched with the record held by Babe Ruth, the greatest hitter in baseball history. Aaron got that home run the very first time he had a chance to hit the ball. That gave him 714 home runs – the same as Babe Ruth. After that day, baseball fans held their breath every time when it was Hank Aaron’s turn to hit. When would he hit home run number 715?The wait was not long. In the second week of the season, Aaron again hit the ball over the wall. He had b eaten Babe Ruth’s record. But first, he had to run around the four bases. The other players on his team watched carefully to make sure he touched each one.So, to touch all bases means to do what is necessary to complete an activity.The expression is used to business and politics. No business deal or political events are really complete until you discuss all the problems involved. Or, as it is said, until you touch all bases.【】44. When a baseball player hits the ball, he must ______ to get a point.A. run to each base freelyB. touch t he home plate firstC. touch all the bases with his handsD. run to each base in order and touch it with his foot【】45. When was the importance of touching all the bases shown?A. At the start of the 1974 baseball seasons.B. At the end of the 1974 baseball seasons.C. Before the baseball rules made.D. In the second week of 1974.【】46. Who hit home run number 715?A. Babe Ruth.B. Hank Aaron.C. Babe Ruth’s partner.D. Hank Aaron’s friend.【】47. What do es the expression “to touch all bases” mean?A.

Who hasn’t had an emergency while traveling? Sometimes you’re miles from the nearest gas station or McDonald’s. Everyone knows that when you have to go, you have to go,” said Phil Bole.Phil has invented a chemical toilet for cars. One size fits all cars and people. It is made from recycled materials. “It never smells bad,” he says. Between uses, it can be stored in the trunk(后备箱). When the toilet is full, an adult or child can compress（挤压）it into the size of a bowling ball. The waste matter in the toilet is continuously being taken in by chemicals. All the waste matter even turns into a lot of dry crumbs. The toilet can be dropped into any trash can at any time.Phil tested his invention while on a two-week vacation with his wife and four young kids. He said that the kids loved it. His wife didn’t.“Nothing on earth could make me use that disgusting thing!” she told him. He said to her sincerely that he had invented the toilet mainly for women and kids. He needed a woman’s encouragement so the toilet would sell. “No women would ever use this thing!”she answered.“My wife’s kind of a prude(拘守礼仪的人),” Phil said one day to Bret, his workmate.

2015（13区）初三一模英语---阅读汇编C,D篇1.【朝阳】CWhere did that number come from?Eleven and TwelveThe reason behind the change in number naming is that eleven comes from the German term ainlif, which translates to “one left”. Twelve follows the same rule. It comes fro m twalif—“two left”. Why teen is used instead of lif for 13 through 19? There is something sadly lost in history.911 for US Emergency (急救) CallsEarly phones didn’t use phone numbers—the operator had to connect your call by hand—and this led to the need for an emergency code (信号). But later phone numbers became popular, that changed. In 1967, 911 was chosen as the nationwide emergency call because it was easy to remember and could be quickly dialed (拨) on the phone.26.2 Miles in a Marathon (马拉松)The story began with an ancient Greek soldier carrying message from a battlefield (战场) in Marathon to Athens. The modern marathon was born as a flagship event in the first Olympic Games, in 1896, with a distance (距离) of about 25 miles (40 km), as long as the distance from Marathon to Athens. But race organizers for the 1908 Olympic Games in London wanted to add something special. The race began at Windsor Castle and ended at White City Stadium, with runners finishing only after passing the royal (皇室的) box. The distance was 26.2 miles (42.1 km). And since 1924 this distance has been kept in marathon.28 Days in FebruaryBefore using the Gregorian calendar that we use today, one of the first Roman calendars had only 304 days and ten months (March through December), with six months of 30 days and four of 31 days. The second king of Rome improved the old calendar. He added 50 days for January and February. To make the new months longer, he took one day from each of the 30-day months, making 56 days to divide between January and February (or 28 days each). Later January was given one more day to add up to 355 days a year, but February still had 28 days. That’s how it became the shortest month and it stayed that way ever since.48. Which language do eleven and twelve come from?A. English.B. German.C. French.D. Russian.49. When was the number 911 chosen for US emergency calls?A. In 1896.B. In 1908.C. In 1924.D. In 1967.50. The marathon distance was made longer at London Olympic Games because ______.A. the British was a little weak in mathsB. the British didn’t like the Greek storyC. the British loved the royal family very muchD. the British wanted to make the race different51. How many days were there in each month after the king improved the old calendar?A. 28, 29 or 31.B. 28, 30 or 31.C. 28, 29 or 30.D. 29, 30 or 31.D“The world has never been a better place to live in” says science writer Matt Ridley, “and it will keep on getting better.” Read on to see how Ridley mak es his case. Right or wrong? You decide.Compared with 50 years ago, when I was just four years old, people now make nearly three times as much money, eat one third more food and expect to live one third longer. In fact, it’s hard to find any areas of the world that’s worse off now than it was then, even though the world population has more than doubled over that period.One reason we are richer, healthier, taller, cleverer, longer-lived and freer than ever before is that the four most basic human needs—food, clothing, fuel and shelter—have grown much cheaper. Take one example: In 1800, a candle providing one hour’s light cost six hours’ work. In the 1880s, the same light from a lamp took 15 minutes’ work to pay for. In 1950, it was eight seconds. Today, it’s half a second. In these terms, we are 43,200 times better off than in1800.In the United States, rivers, lakes, seas and air are getting cleaner all the time. A car today produces less pollution traveling at full speed than a parked car did from leaks (泄漏) in 1970.Although the world population is growing, the rate (率) of increase has been falling for 50 years. Across the world, national birth rates are lower now than in 1960, and in the less developed world, the birth rate has almost halved. According to a research report from the United Nations, population will start falling once it reaches 9.2 billion in 2075. After all, there are already seven billion people on earth, and they are eating better and better.In 1970s, there were 550 billion barrels (桶) of oil reserves (储存) in the world, and in the 20 years that followed the world used up 600 billion. So by 1990, reserves should have been overused by 50 billion barrels. Instead, it is reported there are 900 billion today. They will last for many years and people will find something in place of oil long before they run out.The more we develop, the more we can develop. The more we invent, the more inventions become possible. For 200 years, pessimists (people who believe that terrible things will happen in future) have had all the headlines—even though optimists have far more often been right. There are some reasons for pessimists. No charity (慈善机构) ever raised money by saying things are getting better. No journalist ever got the front page writing a story abo ut how terrible things won’t happen. Don’t be a pessimist—dare to be an optimist!52. Today, providing one hour’s light costs ______.A. 6 hours’ workB. 15 minutes’ workC. 8 seconds’ workD. 0.5 second’s work53. Which of the following is true, according to the passage?A. Things we used to need were much cheaper than they are today.B. The pollution today is much more serious than it was long ago.C. Population problem has nearly made the world stop developing.D. It’s not necessary to be worried abo ut oil reserves in the world.54. What does the word “optimists” in the last paragraph mean?A. People who are brave enough to face anything terrible.B. People who can always tell good things from bad ones.C. People who have hopeful and happy feelings about life.D. People who don’t easily believe what they’re told about.55. Which of the following can be the best title for the passage?A. Never Give UpB. Cheer UpC. Don’t Be SadD. Think Out2.【房山】CUsually, when your teacher asks a question, there is only one correct answer. But there is one question that has millions of correct answers. The question is “What’s your name?” Everyone gives a different answer, but everyone is correct.Have you ever wondered about people’s names? Where do they c ome from? What do they mean?People’s first names, or given names, are chosen by their parents. Sometimes the name of a grandparent or other member of the family is used. Some parents choose the name of a well-known person. A boy could be named Gorge Washington Smith; a girl could be named Helen Keller Jones.Some people give their children names that mean good things. Clara means “bright”; Beatrice means “one who gives happiness”; Donald means “world ruler” ; Leonard means “as brave as a lion”.The earliest last names, or surnames, were taken from place names. A family with the name Brook or Brooks probably lived near a brook.; someone who was called Longstreet probably on a long, paved road. The Greenwood family lived in or near a leafy forest.Other ear ly surnames came from people’s occupations(职业). The most common occupational name is Smith, which means a person who makes things with iron(铁) or other metals. The ancestors(祖先) of the Baker family probably baked bread for their neighbors. The Carpenter’s great-great-great-grandfather probably built houses or furniture.Sometimes people were known for the color or their hair or skin, or their size, or their special abilities. When there were two who were named John in the same village, the John with the gray hair probably became John Gray. Or the John who was very tall could call himself John Tallman. John Fish was probably an excellent swimmer and John Lightfoot was probably a fast runner or a good dancer.Some family names were made by adding something to the father’s name. English – speaking people add -s or – son. The Johnsons are descendants (后裔) of John. Irish and Scottish people add Mac or Mc or O. Perhaps all of the MacDonnells and the O’Donnells are descendants of the same Donnell.48. According to the passage , a girl is named Helen Keller Jones because .A. her family lives near Helen KellerB. she loves Helen KellerC. her parents admire Helen KellerD. she looks like Helen Keller49. An English couple whose ancestors lived near a leafy forest, their family name is probably .A. SmithB. CarpenterC. LongstreetD. Greenwood50. The surnames in the passage do NOT cover .A. places where people livedB. people’s educationC. talents that people ownedD. people’s occupations51. According to the passage , Jackie Speaker is probably .A. a person who runs fastB. a person who listens moreC. a person who has black hairD. a person who is talkativeD.Have you wondered why you have two eyes and why they are set close together on the front of your face？The reasons are simple and important.Your eyes are like two small cameras. A camera catches an image(影像) of an object and records it on film. Similarly, when you look at something, each eye takes in what it sees and sends this image to the back of the eyeball. Because your eyes are set close together, they see the world from about the same height but from a little different angles(角度). While your right eye sees an object a little to the right, your left eye sees the same object a bit to the left. Working as a team, the eyes send the images to your brain, then your brain put them together and you see a single image in the center.Seeing in stereo means seeing with two eyes working tighter, which is called stereoscopic sight. This allows you to see the world in 3-D. Seeing depth(深度) helps you to judge how far it is between you and the objects you see, and then adjust(调整) to the changing angle so that you can see something clearly when you move closer or farther away. If images are coming from only one eye, however, height and width(宽度)—can be perceiced. So if you see with one eye, you will get a 2—D image, as in a photograph.Now consider why your two eyes are on the front of your face. Think of other animals just like you. They are all hunting(猎杀) animals, like lions and tigers. This provides a field of sight about 180 degree wide, which is called binocular sight. On the other hand, animals that are hunted have eyes on the sides of the head, which provides nearly 360—degree field of sight. However, they don’t have stereoscopic sight. It is difficult for them to judge how far a danger is.With both stereoscopic and binocular sight, humans and hunting animals share the ability to see from side to side and to judge how far it is from other objects. If you think it would be great to have another kind of sight, perhaps with hundreds of tiny eyes like many insects(昆虫) do, think again! Each tiny insect eye sees only a tiny part. Besides, what if you needed glasses? Be glad for the eyesight that you have.52. In Paragraph 2, the writer wants to .A. tell us how our two eyes worksB. show the importance of eyesC. compare our eyes with camerasD. suggest using two eyes properply53. The underlined word “perceiced”in Paragraph 3 means .A. setB. takenC. seenD. made54. In the last paragraph, the writer thinks that “seeing in stereo”.A. is similar to the way a camera worksB. is an ability humans are lucky to haveC. would be better for a wilder field of sightD. helps people to have better sight than animals55. What is probably the best title for this passage?A. Seeing in stereoB. Protecting your eyesC. Treasuring your eyesD. Seeing with eyes3.【燕山】CIt was a cold winter day. A woman drove up to the Rainbow Bridge tollbooth. “I’m paying for myself, and for the six cars behind me,” she said with a smile, handing over seven tickets. One after another,the next six drivers arriving at the tollbooth were informed, “Some lady up ahead alreadypaid your fare.”It turned out that the woman, Natalie Smith, had read something on a friend’s refrigerator:“Practice random (随意的) kindness and sense less acts of beauty.” The phrase impressed (使某人印象深刻) hertollboothso much that she copied it down.Judy Foreman saw the same phrase on a warehouse wall far away from home. When it stayed on her mind for days, she gave up and drove all the way back to copy it down. “I thought it was beautiful,” she said, explaining why she’d taken to writing it at the bottom of all her letters, “like a message from above.” Her husband, Frank, liked the phrase so much that he put it up on the classroom wall for his students, one of whom was the daughter of Alice Johnson, a local news reporter. Alice put it in the newspaper, saying that though she liked it, she didn’t know where it came from or what it really meant.Two days later, Alice got a call from Anne Herbert, a woman living in Marin. It was ina restaurant that Anne wrote the phrase down on a piece of paper, after turning itaround in her mind for days.“Here’s the idea,” Anne says. “Anything you think there should be more of, do itrandomly.” Her fantasies include painting the c lassrooms of shabby schools, leavinghot meals on kitchen tables in the poor part of town, and giving money secretly to a proud old lady. Anne says, “Kindness can build on itself as much as violence (暴力) can build on itself.”The acts of random kindness spread. If you were one of those drivers who found your fare paid, who knows what you might have been encouraged to do for someone else later. Like all great events, kindness begins slowly, with every single act. Let it be yours!48. Why did Natalie Smith pay for the six cars behind her?A. She had seven tickets.B. She hoped to please others.C. She wanted to show kindness.D. She knew the car drivers well.49. Judy Foreman copied down the phrase because she ___ .A. thought it was beautifully writtenB. wanted to know what it really meantC. decided to write it on a warehouse wallD. wanted her husband to put it up in the classroom50. Who came up with the phrase according to the passage?A. Judy Foreman.B. Natalie Smith.C. Alice Johnson.D. Anne Herbert.51. What can we infer from the last paragraph?A. People should practice random kindness to those in need.B. People who receive kindness are likely to offer it to others.C. People should practice random kindness to strangers they meet.D. People who receive kindness are likely to pay it back to the giver.DNo one else knew about the extra (额外的) club in Zach Nash's golf bag. It belonged to a friend, and Zach forgot it was there as he played his way to win in a junior tournament (锦标赛) this summer in Wisconsin, US.The 14-year-old accepted his medal, and celebrated with grandparents who had come from a long way to watch. But when he stopped by his country club to share the news, a professional player noticed something wrong. "Count your clubs," he told the teenager.Fifteen —one more than allowed. Zach's eyes filled with tears.If Zach had just won a basketball or a soccer game and someone had discovered an offence (违反) after the win, it would not have mattered.Bending the rules has become acceptable, if not encouraged, in many sports. It is nothing unusual for soccer players to make a turtle dive (假摔) in the hope of breaking rules.Golf is different. In a win at all costs world, the game holds itself to a higher standard.Golf isn't a game where referees (裁判) watch closely. In golf tournaments, dozens of competitors are spread across acres of land, so officials cannot hope to see each shot. Competitors call punishments on themselves. Players feel the weight of history. Golf began at least the 15th century, but it became popular as a pastime for the wealthy who seemed to always have strict rules of behavior, even when it came to shooting at each other in rights. "It was a sport for gentlemen, not laborers, and gentlemen did not care about winning. They cared about doing the right thing," said Robert Simon, a golf coach at Hamilton College in New York.Honesty became a symbol of honor. When one of the game's early stars, Bobby Jones, was praised for calling a penalty on himself at the 1925 US Open. He replied, "You might as well praise a man for not robbing a bank." So even the error had no effect on Zach's final score —he never used the extra club, the teenager packed up his medal and dropped it in the mail. "But this was golf, and rules are rules. I just knew what I had to do," he said. Then came another tournament. Before teeing off, Zach counted his clubs four times.52. Zach Nash returned the medal he won in the junior tournament because________.A ．he was caught cheating by a playerB ．he decided to follow the rules of golfC ．he used another player's club by mistakeD ．he made a mistake counting his final score53. Which of the following statements about golf is TRUE according to the passage?A ．In golf, honor comes before win.B ．Early golf players didn't care about the rules.C ．Golf players usually do whatever it takes to win.D ．Golf referees watch each shot and call punishments.54. The underlined phrase "teeing off" in the last paragraph probably means "____ ".A ．getting startedB ．getting caughtC ．leavingD ．winning55. What is probably the best title of the passage?A ．Zach's medal.B ．The history of golf.C ．Honesty counts in golf.D ．Golf is rich men's game.4.【丰台】CLooking for an original way to raise money for charity? Has your school run out of clever and fun ideas? Don’t give up. There are several ways to support your favorite charity and enjoy yourselves at the same time. clubs medalHow about holding a bean bath competition? “How does this help?”you may ask yourselves. Well, it’s very simple really- you agree to sit in a bath full of baked beans,then for every minute you stay in it, people pay money! The longer you stay in the bath,the more money you collect for the charity your school has chosen! It’s extremelymessy, but it’s good fun! Just a piece of advice, though. Let your parents know what you’re doing. Wear old clothes because they’re going to need washing after the competition!Here’s another idea that we used at my school: organize a car wash. Everybody who has a car sooner or later washes it or has it washed. So why don’t you and yourclassmates do the job? The money the car owners pay for having their cars washed willgo towards your charity. When we did it, we had an amazing time! At first, some of uswere worried about getting wet or dirty and it’s true. But we also had fun, and at the end of the day it was really worth it!On the other hand, if you don’t feel like getting wet or messy, but have some musical talent, how about organizing a street concert? Street musicians can make a lotof money and so can you if you’ve got the talent and courage it takes to play in front ofan audience. You just need to find a suitable place (make sure you’re allowed to playmusic in that public place), practise for a few hours with your friends first, and give it a try!I hope all these ideas have helped you a bit, and if you’ve got any other great suggestions, we would love to hear them. We can publish them, so other people can use them, too. Good luck!48. Holding a bean bath competition, you would______.A. ask yourselves many questionsB. sit in a bath full of baked beansC. put on old clothes after the bathD. ask your parents to wash the clothes49. What did the writer think of the car wash?A. He thought they could have fun.B. He was upset about getting wet.C. He thought many students were too worried.D. He thought it was an easy way to collect money.50. From the passage we can know the writer is a ___________.A. parentB. studentC. driverD. singer51. The writer writes this passage to_____________.A. ask readers to do something funny for charityB. tell readers about charity events they can go toC. suggest fun ideas for people to raise money for charityD. show some ways for people to organize charity eventsDFor me, Facebook is about staying in touch with friends, whether that means writing on someone’s ‘wall’or sending them a private message. It’s a useful website forfinding long-lost friends, arranging parties and sharing photos. But that’s not all:Facebook is now being used by all kinds of people for all kinds of reasons!Do you want to play computer games? Log on to Facebook. There are now thousands of entertaining gamesand puzzles to help you pass the time. Do you want to find cafés, cinemas and bowling alleys in your area?Log on to Facebook pages that you can join and ‘like’, which makes it very easy to search for fun things to do near you. I think it’s brilliant to have all the information that you want on just one website!People are now joining Facebook to make professional connections too, either with people who do the same kind of work, or with businesses that are looking for new people to work for them.It’s a pretty good idea since so many people use Facebook these days, especially young people! Even students log on to Facebook to look for summer or part-time jobs.And that’s not all! Now there are hundreds of pages about sports te ams, TV programmes and pop stars to look at on Facebook. However, I believe the main reason most young people use Facebook is because it’s so easy to let the world know what you think about different things or people, whether it’s abouta new film at the cinema or whether you prefer Rihanna with long or short hair. You can even writecomments directly on other people’s Facebook pages including some stars’ pages. But you have to be careful because giving your opinion online can be dangerous.We mustn’t forget that Facebook is meant to be fun and shouldn’t be used for saying bad things about people around us. I recently read a news article about a student who had to leave school because she made rude and unfair comments about a teacher on her Facebook wall. Several other school students have been in trouble for similar comments and opinions. In fact, it really annoys me when I see somebody has writtenIt’s true that Facebook is becoming more and more part of ou r daily lives for many different reasons, and it can be really helpful as well as being a lot of fun. But, as with all websites, we must be careful about how we use it.52. What does the writer think of the Facebook?A. It is easy for finding a long-lost friendB. It is dangerous for giving one’s opinionC. It is mainly used for business reasons these days.D. It is useful for finding entertainment information.53. Why does the writer think young people like Facebook so much?A. It’s a goo d place to read TV programmes reviews.B. They can have conversations about their interests.C. It’s the best place to find information about sports.D. They like having the chance to give their opinions.A. criticalB. privateC. unpleasantD. impolite55. What is the best title of the passage?A. The use of FacebookB. The information on FacebookC. The reasons of using FacebookD. The suggestions for using Facebook5.【海淀】6.【密云】(C)Years ago, I lived in a building in a large city. The building next door was only a few feet away from mine. There was a woman who lived there, whom I had never met, yet I could see her seated by her window each afternoon, sewing(缝纫)or reading.After several months had gone by, I beg an to notice that her window was dirty. Everything was unclear through the dirty window. I would say to myself, “I wonder why that woman doesn’t wash her window. It really looks terrible.”One bright morning I decided to clean my flat, including washing the window inside. Late in the afternoon when I finished the cleaning, I sat down by the window with a cup of coffee for a rest. What a surprise! Across the way, the woman sitting by her window was clearly visible(可见的). Her window was clean!Then it dawned on me. I had been criticizing(批评)her dirty window, but all the time I was watching hers through my own dirty window.That was quite an important lesson for me. How often had I looked at and criticized others through the dirty window of my heart, through my own shortcomings(缺点)? Since then, whenever I wanted to judge(评判)someone, I asked myself first, “Am I looking at him through my own dirty window?” Then I try to clean the window of my own world so that I may see the world about me more clearly.54.The writer was surprised that______.A.the woman was sitting by her windowB.the woman’s window was cleanC.the woman did cleaning in the afternoonD.the woman’s window was still terrible55.“It dawned on me”probably means“_______”.A.I began to understand itB.it cheered me upC.I knew it grew lightD.it began to get dark56.It’s clear that_______.A.t he writer had never met the woman beforeB.the writer often washed the windowC.they both worked as cleanersD they lived in a small town57.From the passage,we can learn that______.A.o ne shouldn’t criticize others very oftenB.one should often make his windows cleanC.one must judge himself before he judges othersD.one must look at others through his dirty windows(D)Farmer Ed Rawlings smiles as he looks at his orange trees. The young oranges are growing well in Florida’s weather. Warm sunshine and gentle rains, along with Ed Rawlings’ expert care, will produce a good crop（收成）of oranges this year.However, Ed has to guard against Florida’s changeable winter weather. In January and February, temperatures can destroy Ed’s entire orange crop. Having farmed in Florida for the past 35 years, Ed is preparedfor the frost(霜). When temperatures drop below freezing, Ed tries to save his crop by watering his orange trees. The water freezes and forms a thin layer(层) of ice around the trees. Strange as it may sound, this thin layer of ice actually keeps the fruit warm.What happens is simple. When the trees are watered, the water loses heat and becomes ice. The warmth of the heat it loses is taken in by the fruit and keeps its temperature at a safe level. Ed has effectively used this method to save many orange crops.But Ed still faces difficulties. The trees must be watered at the exact moment the temperature drops to the freezing point. Also, just the right quantity(数量)of water must be used. Too much water can form a thicker layer of ice that will break the tree’s branches(树枝). Another difficulty is that wind blows away the heat, so Ed has to worry about not only when but also how often his trees should be watered, and how much water should be used.Computer techn ology may help Ed with some of these worries. With equipment(设备), air and soil temperatures and wind speed can be measured. The information is fed into a computer which can calculate(计算) when the temperature will drop below freezing. The computer can correctly decide the quantity of water to be used and how frequently( ) the trees should be watered. Ed finds looking after his orange trees a lot easier with the help of a computer, and, his customers will have the benefits(利益) of computer—age oranges.58.The passage is mainly about______.A. a farmer expert cares for his orange treesB.the different uses of computersC.growing oranges in Florida’s changeable weatherD.different ways of frost protection59.Ed tries to protect his crop by______.ing a wind machine to drive away the cold airB.equipping his orange trees with a computerC. watering it at the proper timeD picking his fruit at the first sign of frost60.According to the passage, the computer technology______.A.removes the need for frost protectionB.prevents temperature from droppingC.tells farmers why outdoor temperatures changeD. helps the farmer get a better harvest7.【怀柔】CThere are many online food shopping sites. This is very surprising. Things like CDs, books, and DVDs sell well online. But it is quite different to sell food online because people like to see food with their own eyes. It is very important for people to buy fresh fruit and vegetables. Customers like to choose their food by its colour. They also want to touch and smell it. But some people like to go to the same shop to buy food, because they think the food there has a very good quality. So if the food is always good, they may also feel comfortable buying it online.Boxes of fruits and vegetables have been delivered(递送) to homes around Britain for a few years now. Dried。

2015年北京市英语中考模拟试题专项阅读理解D篇汇编含答案
2015年北京市英语中考模拟试题专项阅读理解D篇汇编含答案DAlthough the world population is growing, the rate (率) of increase has been falling for 50 years. Across the world, national birth rates are lower now than in 1960, and in the less developed world, the birth rate has almost halved. According to a research report from the United Nations, population will start falling once it reaches 9.2 billion in 2075. After all, there are already seven billion people on earth, and they are eating better and better.In 1970s, there were 550 billion barrels (桶) of oil reserves (储存) in the world, and in the 20 years that followed the world use d up 600 billion. So by 1990, reserves should have been overused by 50 billion barrels. Instead, it is reported there are 900 billion today. They will last for many years and people will find something in place of oil long before they run out.The more we develop, the more we can develop. The more we invent, the more inventions become possible. For 200 years, pessimists (people who believe that terrible things will happen in future) have had all the headlines—even though optimists have far more often been right. There are some reasons for pessimists. No charity (慈善机构) ever raised money by saying things are getting better. No journalist ever got the front page writing a storyabout how terrible things won’t happen. Don’t be a pessimist—dare to be an optimist!52. Today, providing one hour’s light costs ______.A. 6 hours’ workB. 15 minutes’ workC. 8 seconds’ workD. 0.5 second’s work53. Which of the following is true, according to the passage?A. Things we used to need were much cheaper than they are today.B. The pollution today is much more serious than it was long ago.C. Population problem has nearly made the world stop developing.D. It’s not necessary to be worried about oil reserves in the world.54. What does the word “optimists”in the last paragraph mean?A. People who are brave enough to face anything terrible.B. People who can always tell good things from bad ones.C. People who have hopeful and happy feelings about life.D. People who don’t easily believe what they’re told about.55. Which of the following can be the best title for the passage?A. Never Give UpB. Cheer UpC. Don’t Be SadD. Think Out（D）52. D 53. D 54. C 55. B二． 2015年顺义区初三第一次模拟练习DLanguages keeps evolving（进化、发展）, and English is no exception. It is a language that embraces(欣然接受)new words that may be cool today but gone tomorrow.There are, however, some words and phrases that have stood the test of time. OK, which has become the international standard for expressing agreement, is a good example.But why is this rather odd(奇怪的)expression so popular and so useful when we could use any number of other words to say the same thing?Writing in The Times, Allen Metcalf, author of OK: The Improbable Story of America’s Greatest Word, writes: “What OK provided that the others did not was neutrality(中性), a way to express agreement without having to offer an opinion.”For example, if someone asks you “Shall we go for a walk after lunch?” you can simply respond “OK”. There you go – no extra opinions. Just straight, plain old OK.So just where did this rather curious expression come from? The origins of OK have been widely disputed (辩论，争论). Some people have guessed that OK was the name of a personor a product.Speakers of many different languages have had their say on this question, keen to claim the term as their own.Writing an a rticle for London’s Metro newspaper, Metcalf states: ‘O and K are present in every language of the world, as expressions that can be abbreviated(缩写) OK.” For example: French –“O qu-oui”, “yes indeed”; German –“Ohne Korrektur”, “ without correction needed”; and in Latin or Greek, “Olla kalla”, “all good”.But, does it sound a little too informal with this popular little expression?Apparently not.In a speech where he stated that his election (当选) would not be a radical (激进的) result to all problems, Presi dent Obama said: “… even though I am president…, AI-Qaida is still a threat(威胁) and that we cannot pretend somehow that because Barack Hussein Obama got elected as president, suddenly everything’s going to be OK,” he said.So, there you go, straight from the president. It’s OK to say OK, and thanks to the expression’s widespread usage across the world, you can be understood anywhere.58. Using the example of Obama, the authorwants to show that________.A. there is still a long way to go to defeat Al-QaidaB. Obama likes to use OK when he speaksC. OK is widely used even on formaloccasions D. the use of OK isencouraged in formal speech59. According to Allen Metcalf, OK differsfrom other terms to express agreement,which of the following opinions is true?A. It is easiest way to say.B. Itdoesn’t need emotion.C. It is the most commonlyused. D. It doesn ’t use in theformal speech.60. What is the best title for the passage?A ．Why OK is OK everywhere?B ．It’sOK to say OK in the world.C ．Where did OK come from?D ．Everything is going to be OK.8．C 59．B 60．A三． 北京市燕山2015年中考一模DNo one else knew about the extra (额外的) club in Zach Nash's golf bag. It belonged to a friend, and Zach forgot it was there as he played his way to win in a junior tournament (锦标赛) this summer in Wisconsin, US. The 14-year-old accepted his medal, and celebrated with grandparents who had come from a long way to watch. But when he stopped by his country club to share the news, a professional playernoticed something wrong. "Count your clubs," he told the teena ger.Fifteen —one more than allowed. Zach's eyes filled with tears. clubs medalIf Zach had just won a basketball or a soccer game and someone had discovered an offence (违反) after the win, it would not have mattered.Bending the rules has become acceptable, if not encouraged, in many sports.It is nothing unusual for soccer players to make a turtle dive (假摔) in the hopeof breaking rules.Golf is different. In a win at all costs world, the game holds itself to a higher standard.Golf isn't a game where referees (裁判) watch closely. In golf tournaments, dozens of competitors are spread across acres of land, so officials cannot hope to see each shot. Competitors call punishments on themselves.Players feel the weight of history. Golf began at least the 15th century, but it became popular as a pastime for the wealthy who seemed to always have strictrules of behavior, even when it came to shooting at each other in rights."It was a sport for gentlemen, not laborers, and gentlemen did not care about winning. They cared about doing the right thing," said Robert Simon, agolf coach at Hamilton College in New York.Honesty became a symbol of honor. When one of the game's early stars, Bobby Jones, was praised for calling a penalty on himself at the 1925 US Open.He replied, "You might as well praise a man for not robbing a bank."So even the error had no effect on Zach's final score—he never used the extra club, the teenager packed up his medal and dropped it in the mail. "Butthis was golf, and rules are rules. I just knew what I had to do," he said.Then came another tournament. Before teeing off, Zach counted his clubs four times.52.Zach Nash returned the medal he won in the junior tournamentbecause________.A．he was caught cheating by a playerB．he decided to follow the rules of golfC．he used another player's club by mistakeD．he made a mistake counting his final score53. Which of the following statements about golf is TRUE according to the passage?A．In golf, honor comes before win.B．Early golf players didn't care about the rules.C．Golf players usually do whatever it takes to win.D．Golf referees watch each shot and call punishments.54. The underlined phrase "teeing off" in the last paragraph probably means "____ ".A．getting started B．getting caught C．leaving D．winning55. What is probably the best title of the passage?A．Zach's medal. B．The history of golf.C．Honesty counts in golf. D．Golf is rich men's game.52—55 BAAC四．东城区2015届中考一模DIt is an argument that has div ided the East and the West for centuries: Arechopsticks better than the knife and fork, or vice versa? Now the winner may finally be decided, on environmental ground.Chopsticks are made from a variety of materials, but bamboo and wood chopsticks are more popular. They are usually cheaper, lower in temperature conduction and provide bet ter sense for holding food. That’s why almost all disposable (一次性的) chopsticks are made of bamboo or wood. With cutting down 25 millionfully-grown trees a year to make chopsticks, China has ranked number one among the producers. “We must change our habits and encourag e people to take their own chopsticks when eating out,” said Mr. Bo, the owner of a forestry industry company in China. He even wentso faras to suggest that restaurants should offer metal knives and forks instead. If Mr. Bo’s suggestion is wi dely accepted, it would be a dark moment in chopsticks’ 4,000-year history.Chopsticks were invented in ancient China and later spread around Asia. They are not only used as eating tools but also used for cooking, stirring the fire and serving food. Koreans sometimes use metal chopsticks because of their love of b arbecue (烧烤). Chinese chopsticks are longer than Korean and Japanese chopsticks in order to reach the dishes in the center of the table. There are 1.4 billion people using 80 billion pairs of disposable chopsticks in China every year. However, the most widespread use of disposable chopsticks is in Japan. Around a total of 24 billion pairs are used in Japan each year, which means each Japanese uses almost200 pairs yearly. However, most of its disposable chopsticks have been imported (进口) from China, up to over90%.Today, China has to accept the truth that its forests can no longer provide enough chopsticks to feed Asian’s table habit. China is now the world’s largest importer of wood and even import s chopsticks from America. An American company said that the state’s native sweet gum and poplar wood would be perfectly used to make chopsticks. These materials do not need to be lightened with chemicals or bleach (漂白粉). The healthy materials and fairly reasonable prices of the products are appealingto Asian customers. More and more Asians start to use American-made chopsticks at their tables. Although the U.S. has a huge amount of wood, which reduces the number of trees that are cut down in Asia, changing the table habit of using disposable chopsticks still seems to be a wiser choice for chopsticks-using countries.52. According to Paragraph 2, Mr. Bo’s advice is that Chinese should ____________.A. use metal chopsticks instead of wooden onesB. plant more trees and produce fewer chopsticksC. form the habit of taking t heir own chopsticks when eating outD. change their habits and begin to use knives and forks a t home53. What do we know about chopsticks in Asia?A. Koreans mainly use chopsticks to cook food over a fire.B. Most disposable chopsticks in Japan are made in China.C. The most disposable chopsticks are used in Japan yearly.D. Chinese use the shortest chopsticks to take and serve food.54. The underlined word “appealing” in Paragraph 4 probab ly means ______A. normalB. necessaryC. attractiveD. surprising55. What’s the best title for the passage?A. Time to Change the Materials for ChopsticksB. Time to Cut Down on Disposable ChopsticksC. Time to Import Disposable ChopsticksD. Time to Give UpUsing Chopsticks52-55 CＢＣＢ五．房山区2015年中考一模DHave you wondered why you have two eyes and why they are set close together on the front of your face? The reasons are simple and important. Your eyes are like two small cameras. A camera catches an image（影像）of an object and records it on film. Similarly, when you look at something, each eye takes in what it sees and sends this image to the back of the eyeball. Because your eyes are set close together, they see the world from about the same height but from a little different angles(角度). While your right eye sees an object a little to the right, your left eye se es the same object a bit to the left.Working as a team, the eyes send the images to your brain, then your brain puts them together and you see a single image in the centre.Seeing in stereo means seeing with two eyes working together, which is called stereoscopic sight. This allows you to see the world in 3-D. Seeing depth（深度）helps you to judge how far it is between you and the objects you see, and then adjust（调整)to the changing angle so that you can see something clearly when you move closer or farther away. If images are coming from only one eye, however, height and width（宽度）—can be perceived.So if you see with one eye, you will geta2-D image, as in a photograph.Now consider why your two eyes are on the front of your face. Think of other animals just like you. They are all hunting（猎杀）animals, like lions and tigers. This provides a field of sight about 180 degree wide, which is called binocular sight. On the other hand, anim als that are hunted have eyes on the sides of the head, which provides nearly 360-degree field of sight. However, they don’t have stereoscopicsight. It is difficult for them to judge how far a danger is.With both stereoscopic and binocularsight, humansand hunting animals share the ability to see from side to side and tojudge how far it is from other objects. If you think it would be great to have another kind of sight, perhaps with hundreds of tiny eyes like many insects(昆虫) do, think again! Each tiny insect eye sees only a tiny part. Besides, what if you needed glasses? Be glad for the eyesight that you have.52. In Paragraph 2, the writer wants to __________.A. tell us how our two eyes workB. show the importance of eyesC. compareour eyes with camerasD. suggest using two eyes properly53.The underlined word “perceived” in Paragraph 3means________.A. setB. takenC. seenD. made54. In the last paragraph, the writerthinks that “seeing in stereo” ______.A. is similar to the way a cameraworksB. is an ability humans are lucky to haveC. would be better for a wider field of sightD. helps people to have better sight than animals55. What is probably the best title for this passage?A. Seeing in StereoB. Protecting your eyesC. Treasuring your eyesD. Seeing with eyes答案：52. A 53. C 54. B 55. A六．海淀区2015中考英语一模D“You expect your friends to see you in a positive manner, but they also are observers of the personalities that could cause you an early death,” said Jos hua Jackson, an assistant professor of psychology in Arts & Sciences.Published in the journal Psychological Science, the study shows that your personality at an early age can predict how long you will live across 75 years and that close friends are usually better than you at recognizing these traits. “Our study shows that people are able to observe and evaluate（评价）a friend’s personality exactly enough to predict early death years down the road,” Jackson said. “It suggests that people are able to see import ant characteristics related to health even when their friends were, for the most part, healthy and many years from death.”While other studies have shown that a person’s view of his or her own personality can be helpful in evaluating death risks, there has been little research on whether a close friend’s personality evaluation might also predict the chances of a long life.To explore this question, Jackson and colleagues analyzed data（数据）from a longitudinal study that in the 1930s began following a group of young people in their mid-20s. The study included wide-ranging data on participant（参与者）personalities, both self-reported and as reported by close friends.Using information from follow-up studies and searches of death certificates （证书）, Jackson and colleagues were able to record dates of death for all but a few study participants. Peer（同龄人）evaluations of personality were stronger predictors of death risks than were self-evaluations of personality.“There are two possible reasons for the advantage of peer ev aluations over self- evaluations,” Jackson said. “First, friends may see something that you miss; they may have some insight that you do not. Second, because people have several friends, we are able to average the characteristics of any one friend to get a more trustworthy evaluation of personality. With self-reports, people may miss certainsides of themselves and we are not able to counteract（抵抗）that because there is only one you, only one self-report.”The study also shows some gender differences in self-evaluation: Men’s self-evaluations of personality were somewhat useful in predicting their lifespans （寿命）, whereas the self-reports of women had little predictive value.“This is one of the longe st studies in psychology,” Jackson said. “It shows how important personality is in influencing important life outcomes like health, and that information from friends can play a critical role in understanding a person’s health issues.52. What can we learn from Paragraph 2?A. People’s health is related to their friends.B. Friends can predict lifespans better than us.C. An early personality evaluation helps us live longer.D. The study shows most people can live across 75 years.53. The underlined word “insight” in Paragraph 6 probably means “_______”.A. adviceB. influenceC. imaginationD.understanding54. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A. People with more close friends have better personalities.B. Self-evaluations have advantages over peer evaluations.C. Men predict their lifespans more exactly than women.D. The findings are based on participants’ disease data.55. What can we infer from the last paragraph?A. Friends’ personality evaluations can help recognize health risks.B. Best friends play an important role in treating certain diseases.C. Psychology studies may influence personality development.D. Personality has little important effect on people’s health.答案：52. B 53. D 54. C 55. A七：怀柔区 2015年中考一模DMost of us say that God, or destiny or whatever superior force that may existin this universe （宇宙）is what makes us our future and guides us throughout our existence.I don’t claim there isn’t such a force that can guide us and take care of us, but the main element(要素) that helps us build up our future is our way of being. Our personality, our character, our way of perceiving（感知）reality and everything that surrounds us are what may bring us to the top, or opposite it, make us miserable.It’s simply your own choice if you don’t want to study, go to col lege or have a career. It really doesn’t matter if your parents threaten you, punish you or scold （责骂）you all the time. If you stick to be yourself and you think you know itall, then these are useless.You are the one who decides what job to have, in which city or country to live. It’s your choice and your responsibility. The moment you get hurt or something goes wrong, you blame yourself, and you start everything from the very beginning.You consider that you can’t find your place in your own countr y, so you risk the comfortable but modest（谦虚的）life you have with your parents and you go abroad. Maybe there will be moments when you can’t stand any more the loneliness, the strangers around you, or your job. But remember that nobody made you take that decision, so you have to take a deep breath, and then go on, as it’s very difficult to find a guilty person when you know it well that you are the only one to be blamed.If you fall in love with a man from the very first moment you set your eyes on him and you don’t want to meet somebody else, to see how they are, it’s your wish. If you get married and the marriage ends in a year’s time, you can’t blame the rest as they all have told you to be careful and never to take hasty （轻率的）decisions.You play the Lottery each day and there are two choices: each you hit the jack pot and your life changes totally or you lose and you have to restart it from the very beginning. It’s known that if you don’t risk, you can’t win. So the best solution is always to think over your decisions, and to see what they can represent in your future. Only afterwords is proper for you to make up your mind.You are the only architect（建筑师）of your future. The best are only workers who help you create your own dream.52.

In the age of the keyboard, some peopleseem to think handwriting lessons are on the wayout. 90% of teachers say they are required to teachhandwriting. But studies have yet to answer thequestion of how well they are teaching it. One ofthis year’s studies found that about three out of every four teachers say they are not prepared toteach handwriting. Some teachers are teaching handwriting by providing instruction for 10 to 15 minutes a day, and then other teachers who basically teach it for 60 to 70 minutes a day — which really for handwriting is pretty much.Many adults remember learning that way — by copying letters over and over again. Today’s thinking is that short periods of practice are better. Many experts(专家) also think handwriting should not be taught by itself. Instead, they say it should be used as a way to get students to express ideas. After all, that is why we write. Handwriting involves two skills. One is legibility, which means forming the letters so they can be read. The other is fluency(流畅) — writing without having to think about it. Fluency continues to develop up until high school.But not everyone masters these s kills. Teachers commonly report that about one fourth of their kids have poor handwriting. Some people might think handwriting is not important any more because of computers and voice recognition programs.But Steve Graham at Vanderbilt says word processing is seldom done in primary school, especially in the early years. American children traditionally first learn to print, and then to write in cursive, which connects the letters. But guess what we learned from a spokeswoman for the College Board(大学委员会). More than 75 percent of students choose to print their essay(article) on the test rather than write in cursive.52. From Paragraph 1 we can learn .A. teaching handwriting is a basic requirement in the teaching jobB. most teachers prefer to teach handwritingC. teachers spend little time in teaching handwritingD. a keyboard has taken the place of the handwriting53.

B九．平谷区2014-2015学年度初三统练（一）DTo stop the childhood obesity epidemic(流行), health experts have long strongly advised parents to make healthy changes to theirfamily's lifestyle—such as eating healthily, reducing TV time, exercising and getting a good night's sleep.These behaviors have been linked to a lower risk of obesity in kids, but researchers at Ohio State University were interested in learning whether their effect might be cumulative—that is, whether families who adopted(采用) not just one but two or more of these behaviors could reduce their children's risk of obesity even further.Led by Sarah Anderson, researchers studieddata on 8,550 children in a national study, andfound that indeed children who practiced two healthy lifestyle behaviors were slimmer than those who adopted only one behavior, while youngsters who implemented three beneficial habits were the least likely to be overweight. "If children had all three practices, their risk(风险) of obesity was 40% lower than children who had none of the routines(常规)." Anderson says. The three behaviors that Anderson studied were eating dinner regularly with the family, limiting the amount of time in front of the TV, and getting enough sleep. The children who were least likely to be too fat ate dinner with their families six or seven times a week, slept for at least 10.5 hours each night and watched less than two hours of television per day.The findings suggest that adopting these routines can be a powerful way for families to encourage healthy weight in their children, Anderson says.In addition, says Dr. David Ludwig, director of the Optimal Weight for Life Program, theroutines are relatively easy for most families to adopt. "This is a beautifully simple study. It makes a very important point, and one that needs to be noticed time and again. These are all behaviors that are within the reach of us all." 53. What does the underlined word "implemented" in Paragraph 3 probably means?A．Chose B．Supported C．Practiced D．Broke54. What can you infer from the passage?A. Anderson studied more behaviors than three.B. Dr. David Ludwig agreed for Sarah Anderson.C. It’s n ot easy for us all to adopt all behaviors.D. The more practices children had, the lower risk of obesity there was.55. Which might be the best title for the passage?A．Three Habits Help Kids Be Slimmer B．How to Lead a Good LifestyleC．It Is Not Easy to Be SlimD．How to Keep Kids off TV答案：53-55 C BA十．石景山区2015年初三英语一模试卷DWhen you meet someone for the first time, you will get a general idea in your mind of that person in the first moment. Your feelings about other people, however, are really just show the way that you look at yourself. Your reactions to others say more about you than they do about others. You cannot really love or hate about yourself. We are usually drawn to those who are most like us and may dislike those who have the same characters as ourselves that we dislike. Therefore, you can allow others to be the mirror to see more clearly your own feelings of self-worth. And, you can view the people you judge negatively (否定地) as mirrors to show you what you are not accepting about yourself. To live peacefully with others, you will need to learn patience. A big challenge is to let your judgment of others be a lifelong research of yourself. Your task is to consider all the decisions and judgments you make onto others carefully and to begin to see whether you can。
