(每空1词) The Chinese are very generous when it comes to educating their children. Some parents send their children to the best schools or even to England, the US or Australia, although this costs too much. Many also want their children to learn a musical instrument or ballet that will give them a head start in life. The Chinese believe that the more expensive an education is, the better it is, so parents often spend a large amount of money on education. Even poor couples buy a computer for their son or daughter.However, what most parents fail to see is that the best education they can give their children is usually very cheap. Parents can see that their children's skills vary; they will usually be skilled in some areas while poor in others. What most parents fail to realize though, is that today's children don’t believe in themselves.The problem is that parents are only educating their children on how to take multiple-choice tests and how to study effectively. They are not teaching them the most important skills they need to be confident, happy and clever.Parents can help achieve this by teaching their childrenpractical skills like cooking, sewing and other housework.Teaching a child to cook will improve many of the skills that he will need later in life. Cooking demands patience and time. It is an enjoyable but difficult experience. A good cook always tries to improve his cooking, so he will learn to work hard and gradually finish his job successfully. The result, a well-cooked dinner, will give a child a lot of pleasure and confidence.An old machine such as a broken radio or TV set that you give your child as a toy may make him curious and interested. If he will spend hours looking at it, and try to repair it; your child might become an engineer when he grows up. Such activities do more than teach a child to read a book; but they teach them to think, and to use their minds. This is much more important than learning by reading a book.Title How Chinese Parents Should (56) ________ Their Children Common practice λ Being (57) _________ with money when it comes to education.λ Sending them to the best schools or (58) __________.λ Taking extra-curriculum activities to have a head start in life.λSpending more money than they can (59) __________ on education.Bad results Children will be lack (缺少) of (60) ___________.Suggested (61) __________ λ Teaching their children practical skills, which are of the greatest(62) ____________.

They may take out the trash, walk the dogor sweep the floor. In return, some kids get money or other rewards（报酬）from theirparents, such as 20 minutes to play computer games.But some people do not think that kids should get rewards for doing chores. One of them is Jane Smith, a parenting educator and family coach. She believes if kids get rewards, they may think that work isn't worth doing unless you get something in return. For example, kids won't sweep the floor if they see it is dirty. But they will do it if their parents reward them for it."Every house is a team effort," Jane said, "A home is a living space for everyone in the family. It's important for kids to see that we all have a responsibility（责任）to keep our home clean."Other people hold different opinions. They believe that money or other rewards encourage kids to do more chores. It also teaches them real world lessons. They can learn about how we need to work to make money.Now, there are also apps that encourage kids to do chores. The apps give kids points and digital（电子的）gifts that can be used either online or in life. With the app ChoreMonster, kids earn digital points after doing chores. Kids can exchange their points for real rewards, such as time to play video games or a tip to the mall. "Our goal is to encourage kids so they can earn rewards," says Joe Black, founder of ChoreMonster."Kids need positive（积极的）power to make them do chores."（1）Jane Smith thinks that ______.A housework isn't worth doingB kids are not willing to do choresC kids should get something in returnD kids shouldn't get rewards for doing chores（2）ChoreMonster is a(n) ______.A educatorB coachC appD app founder（3）If rewarded for doing chores, kids can learn to ______.A take responsibilitiesB use apps wellC make money throughwork D understand team effort（4）What's the purpose（目的）of the apps mentioned in the passage?A To give kids points and gifts.B To encourage kids to do chores.C To exchange points for real rewards.D To give kids advice on doing chores.（5）The passage mainly talks about ______.A how to encourage kids to do chores.B what kind of chores kids should do.C if kids should do chores at home.D whether kids should be rewarded for doing chores.14. Thinking is something you choose to do, just as a fish choose to live in water． To be human is to be always thinking． But thinking may come naturally without your knowing how you do it． Thinking about thinking is the key to critical thinking． When you think critically, you take control of your own ideas, or you might be controlled by others' ideas． Indeed, critical thinking is at the heart of education．The word "critical" here has a special meaning． It doesn't mean taking one opinion against another, as when someone criticizes （批评） another person for doing somethingwrong． The nature of critical thinking is thinking beyond （超出） what you easily see ﹣beyond the pictures on TV or reports in newspapers．What are critical thinkers like? If you want to know about life and hope to dig deeper into it, you are a critical thinker． If you find pleasure in deep thinking about differentideas, characters, and facts, you are a critical thinker．Critical thinking is a deep and careful thinking． It takes time, and doesn't go with the fast speed in today's world． If you are among people who believe speed is a measure of intelligence （智力测量）, you may learn something new from a story about Albert Einstein． The first time Hoffman, a well﹣known scientist, talked with Einstein about his work, he was too nervous to speak． But Einstein got him relaxed right away bysaying, "Please go slowly． I don't understand things quickly．"（1）． According to the passage， if we don't think critically，________．A it will be hard for us to think fast．B we will make mistakes easily．C we might be fooled by other people．D we might be controlled by others' ideas．（2）． What's the main idea of Paragraph 2？________A Don't believe in others．B Criticizing others is wrong．C What the word "critical" means．D The word "critical" is quite special．（3）． If you are a critical thinker， you will________．A think deeply about different ideas．B believe the reports in newspapers．C take one opinion against another．D criticize other people for their mistakes．（4）． The story of Einstein mentioned in the passage shows________．A Critical Thinkers ．B Critical Thinking．C Thinking Naturally ．D Thinking Fast．五、单词拼写（共10小题，满分10分）根据首字母或汉语提示，在答题卡上写出下列句子中单词的完全形式．15.

Helen has always been interested in helping her community (社区). Her first volunteer experience was for the American Red Cross when she was in high school. When she was a school teacher, she also found time to volunteer.After she retired (退休), she started volunteering to help the old. When her father was older, he was not able to see as well as he used to, which made her sad because he had always enjoyed reading. She decided it would be fun to read to elderly people in her community.She also helped one woman write her stories. Ann was almost 100 years old, and Helen wrote down information about her life when she visited her. She put the information in a book and got it published (出版), Ann was very excited to share her life story with her children and grandchildren. After a strong storm hit some southern cities, Helen volunteered again for the American Red Cross. She prepared food and answered phones in a care centre.One day Helen read an article in the newspaper about refugees (难民) who needed to learn English. She met once a week with Sahra, a 38-year-old woman from Somalia. Helen gave Sahra a camera and asked her to take pictures of her daily life. In the end, they wrote a book together and used the photos in the book. This helped Sahra learn many new words about her everyday life. Helen says, “The real value of my volunteer work is becoming friends with the people I help. They enrich my life as well as I enrich theirs.”61. When did Helen first volunteer for the American Red Cross?62. What did Helen do just after she retired?63. Why was Ann excited when her book got published?64. Why did Helen give Sahra a camera?65.

2017日照中考英语练习试卷及答案
2017日照中考英语练习试卷及答案2017日照中考英语练习试卷及答案CWhen it comes to friends, I desire those who will share my happiness, who has wings of their own and who will fly with me.When I was in the eighth grade, I had a friend. We were shy and “too serious” about our studies when it was becoming fashionable with our classmates to learn acceptable social behaviors. We said little at school, but she would come to my house and we would sit down with pencils and paper, and one of us would say, “Let’s start with a train whistle(鸣笛)today.” We would sit quietly together and write separate poems or stories that grew out of a train whistle. Then we would read them aloud. At the end of that school year, we, too, were changing into social persons and the stories and poems stopped.When I lived for a time in London, I had a friend. He was in despair(失望)and I was in despair, too. But our friendship was based on the idea in each of us that we would be sorry later if we did not travel over this great city because we had felt bad at the time. We met every Sunday for five weeks and found many excellent things. We walked until our despairs disappeared and then we parted. We gave London to each other.For almost four years I have had a great friend whose imagination brightens mine. We write long letters in which we often discover our strangest selves.

Lifelong Friendship.DCarmen Arace Middle School is situated in the pastoral town of Bloomfield, Conn., but four years ago it faced many of the same problems as inner-city schools in nearby Hartford: low scores on standardized tests and dropping enrollment(入学注册). Then the school’s hard-driving headmaster, Delores Bolton, persuaded her board to shake up the place by buying a laptop computer for each student and teacher to use, in school and at home. What’s more, the board provided wireless Internet access at school. Total cost: $2.5 million.Now, an hour before classes start, every seat in the library is taken by students who cannot wait for getting online. Fifth-grade teacher Jen Friday talks about different kinds of birds as students view them at a colorful website. After school, students on buses pull laptops from backpacks to get started on homework. Since the computer arrived, enrollment is up 20%. Scores on state tests are up 35%.Indeed, school systems in rural Maine and New York City also hope to follow Arace Middle School’s example. Governor Angus King had planned using $50 million to buy a laptop for all of Maine’s 17,000 seventh-graders – and for new seventh-graders each fall.In the same spirit, the New York City board of education voted on April 12 to create a school Internet portal(入口), which would make money by selling ads and licensing public school students. Profits(盈利)will also provide e-mail service for the city’s 1.1 million public school students. Profits will be used to buy laptops for each of the school system’s 87,000 fourth-graders. Within nine years, all students in grades 4 and higher will have their own computers.Back in Bloomfield, in the meantime, most of the kinks have been worked out. Some students were using their computers to visit unauthorized(非法的)websites. But teachers have the ability to keep an eye on where students have been on the Web and to stop them. “That is the worst when they disable you,” says eighth-grade honors student Jamie Bassell. The habit is rubbing off on parents. “I taught my mom to use e-mail,” says another eighth-grader, Katherine Hypolite. “And now she’s taking computer classes. I’m so proud of her!”56.
