The first record of a kite was more than 2,000 years ago in China. Han Xin, the leader of an army, wanted to bring down a king. He decided to dig a tunnel (隊道) into the king’s palace. He flew a kite over the wall of the palace to make sure the length (长度)of its string (线).In this way, he could determine how long the tunnel should be. His men in the tunnel took the kite string with them. When they reached the end of the string, they knew to dig up.Kites have been flown in Japan for hundreds of years. In the 1700s, kites were flown in autumn to give thanks for a good harvest. They were also flown to send good wishes to couples who had their first son. Today in Japan, kites are often flown as part of a celebration, such as the beginning of a new year. And kite festivals are held each year in many parts of the country.Kites have been used for scientific purposes in the western world. In 1752, Benjamin Franklin tied a key to a kite and flew it in a storm to find out that lightening was a form of electricity. In the 1890s, Lawrence Hargrave invented the box kite to test ideas about flight. From 1898 until 1933，the United States Weather Bureau (气象局) used box kites to collect weather data. The Wright brothers also experimented (试验)with kites. What they learnt helped them make the first airplane flight in 1903.( )11. Why did Han Xin want to dig a tunnel?A. To pull down the palace.B.

He had to go inside to return them.David walked inside the building a few minutes before closing time. He put the books into the return box. After a quick drink of water and a short stop in the toilet, he’d be on his way to meet Jim. He walked out of the toilet. The library lights were turned off. He was locked-in a library.David tried to use the telephone, but he couldn’t find one. As the sun began to set, he searched for a light and found a little one on the desk. He used a pencil to write a note on a big piece of paper. It read, “I’m locked inside. Please call for help.” H e put it on the front door. Surely, someone passing by would see it. He then turned his attention to the library itself.He was surprised to discover that this place was not so bad. Rows and rows of books!

It was great 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 perfect correct German. I was really glad that people could understand what I was saying. I’d certainly introduce it to other students studying languages.Frank：I 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.

If I had the opportunity, I’d certainly take part in another language exchange.Alice：I took part in a French exchange. It lasted two weeks and I stayed with my exchange family in a small t own 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.

An American girl called Lindsay Jernigan is now teaching people how to get better English names.While working in Shanghai, Lindsay met many Chinese people with strange English names. Some of them chose a lucky number of "Seven, "a favorite fruit, "Apple, "and a cartoon character, "Snow White" Others had names like "July" and "Rabbit."After noticing the problem, Lindsay had an idea. She quit her job and set up a website(best English name. com)to help Chinese people get better English names.The website helps people in two ways. After they take an online quiz, people will get five English names based on their personal information, such as age, job and even future plans. This costs 18yuan. People can also meet with Lindsay to talk about their English name. But that costs more.Now, about 2, 000people each day visit the website. Most of them are preparing to study or work abroad.

The bike that the service company provides has GPS or Bluetooth on it, and those bikes can be easily unlocked with a smart phone and left anywhere in public. Bike-sharing allows people to borrow a bike from one place and return it at another place easily.In some cities, we can see more and more people riding this kind of sharing-bikes. It’s very convenient to use the bikes if you have a smart phone. First, you have to download such an APP on your smart phone．Then what you need to do is to find a nearest bike through the APP，scan the QR code on the bike or connect your phone with the bike over a Bluetooth wireless connection．You will find the bike can be unlocked itself．Then you can enjoy your trip. What's more, the greatest advantage of bike-sharing is that you can easily find one and never worry about where to park it. The cost of riding depends on the time that you spend. Normally, every hour you ride, you need to pay one yuan. It doesn’t cost so much, does it?At the same time, some people park the bikes in their own homes. Besides, some people don’t value the b ikes. Now service companies are trying to solve the problem like being stolen.Technology and science have changed our social lifestyles. We have to say bike-sharing brings us more convenience without doubt. And we also hope that people can not only enjoy it but also put it to good use. ( )36.

They serve some certain purpose, teach you a lesson or help find out who you are or who you want to become.You never know who these people may be: your classmate, neighbor, teacher, long-lost friend or even a real stranger. But you know that every moment they will influence your life in some serious way.Sometimes things happen to you. At the time they may seem terrible, painful and unfair. But later you realize that without overcoming those difficulties, you would have never realized your further ability and advantages. Everything happens for a reason and nothing happens by chance or with good or bad luck.The people you meet influence your life, and the success and failure you experience create who you are.Even the bad experience can be learned from. In fact, they are probably the most poignant and important ones.Enjoy every day even every moment and take from it everything that you possibly can, for you may never be able to experience it again. Talk to people whom you have never talked to before, and really listen. You should set your goals high, hold your head up, tell yourself you are a great one and believe in yourself.You can make your life anything you wish.

"What does the word "home" mean to you? How do you say the word in French, in Chinese, in your language? Although people usually know what the word means, it sometimes has no exact translation. It's not surprising, because the idea of home is different from country to country, and from person to person. A home is more than a roof and four walls.

2020名校中考模拟考试试题汇编：英语阅读理解22篇(含答案))
2020名校中考模拟考试试题汇编英语阅读理解（1）We spend about one-third of our lives asleep．This may sould like a lot of time，but it is not wasted．Our bodies need sleep to stay healthy．Not getting enough aleep can make us sick．Sleep and our immune（免疫）systemThe immune system protects the body fro m diseases and infections（传染）．Not getting enough sleep hurts this protective system．The Mayo Clinic is a research hospital in the United States．Its website explains that when we sleep our bodies produce proteins（蛋白质）that support sleep and help us fight infections．They add that infection-fighting antibodies（抗体）are reduced during periods when you don’t get enough sleep．A new study from the University of Washington in the U．S．seems to confirm this．Dr．Nathaniel Watson was the lead writer of the study．Watson says his study shows that the immune system works best when the body gets enough sleep．For the study，Watson and his team studied 11 pairs of twins．This is an important difference from other sleep studies．Other research did not study twins．Researchers found that the twin who slept less had a weaker immune system．Watson says his study showed for the first time that a long-term lack（缺乏）of sleep shuts down parts of the immune system．He says parts that move white blood cells around the body are influenced．White blood cells fight infections in the body．Watson’s study provides more evidence（证据）that sleep is important to“overall health”．And sleep is especially important to immune health．The researchers published their findings in the magazine Sleep．How much sleep is enough?To stay in good health，experts at the Mayo Clinic say that adults should get 7 to 8 hours of sleep．Teenagers need 9 to 10 hours．And school-aged children may need more than 10 hours of sleep a night．Experts say our sleep becomes poor in our 30s．By the time we reach our 50s，the average person has lost 50 percent of their ability to have a restful sleep．These people also have trouble falling asleep and staying asleep through the night．From middle age on，they say these problems only get worse，and they can influence our health．Signs you may not be getting enough sleep●You’re always hungry or you’ve gained weight．●You have trouble making decisions．●You have trouble remembering things．●Your skin doesn’t look good．●You ar e having trouble seeing．( )1．From the first three paragraphs we know that ．A.it is a waste to spend about one-third of our lives asleepB.we’ll become seriously ill if we don’t have enough sleepC.enough sleep does good to infection-fighting antibodiesD.immune system is protected when people begin to sleep( )2．From Watson’s study，we know ．A.enough sleep helps the immune system w ork wellB.the study of twins is a kind of common sleep studyC.twins need less sleep but have stronger immune systemD.sleeping for a long time is important to immune health( )3．Which of the following is right according to the passage？A.People don’t need 7 to 8 hours of sleep a night in their fifties．B.The less you sleep every night，the more weight you’ll lose．C.Teenagers should get more than 10 ho urs of sleep a night．D.If your memory gets worse，you may not get enough sleep．( )4．What will probably be written in the following part？A.How to improve your sleep B．How important enough sleep is!C.How amazing if you look good! D．How to avoid trouble of seeing（2）James is a good student and he has lots of friends，but he also has a problem．Some older boys are bullying(欺负)him at school．James is very unhappy and he doesn’t know what to do about it．Here are some suggestions to him and other teenagers in this situation．Don’t feel worried．It’s not your fault(过错)! Being bullied can make you feel very lonely and angry，but you are not alone．Don’t feel that you have to hide the problem．You should find a person you can trust，and tell them．It might be your teacher，your parents，or even your friend’s parents．After you tell someone，you will get some support and feel some relief (解脱)．Speaking to an adult might make you nervous，but here are other things you can do．Some people express their feelings more easily on paper．Write a letter to someone or keep a diary．Include all the details about what the bullies (欺人者) do, as well as when and where the bullying happens．You can use it as proof to show what is going on．And it is a wonderful idea to show your letter or diary to a teacher or another responsible adult．Then the bullies will feel very afraid if their names appear in a letter!Also，don’t show you are sad and don’t try to fight with the bullies. You could get in trouble yourself. Ignore them and just walk away. The bullies will soon stop.( )1.What do you think the text is trying to tell us?A. What to do about being bullied.B.How to be a good student at school.C. What to write well in a diary.D.How to give suggestions to teenagers.( )2.Why does the text advise you not to feel worried if bullied?A. Because you are not aloneB.Because it is not your fault.C. Because someone has known about it.D.Because you’re doing something wrong.( )3.What does the underlined word ""Ignore mean in the text?A. pay no attentionB. take care ofB. C. make full use of D. get more help from（3）It's a common belief that over time, pet owners start to look like their animals. Now comes the terrifying news that cats look up to their owners as role models and copy their behaviour.Next time you reach for your fridge, think twice. If your cat is watching,she will probably overeat as well.In a new study from the University of Messina, it turns out that indoorcats who live closely to their owners “mirror” the lives of their caregivers. They sleep at the same time, eat at the same time, and can even become more or less social depending on the behaviour of their owners.“Cats are clever animals with a long memory,” Jane Brunt, director of the Catalyst Council, told Discovery News. “They watch and learn from us, noting the patterns of our actions, knowing where their food is kept and what time to expect to be fed, how to open the cupboard door that's been improperly closed, and where their feeding and toileting areas are.” Because cats copy our habits, if you spend a lot of time raiding(搜刮)the fridge, your cat will return to its food bowl for that midnight snack, too. According to the study, this explains why “human and cat overweight rates often seem to match”．There's no word if drinking green tea and making sure you go to yoga will benefit (使受益) your cat, but based on the study, it sounds like sticking to a healthy eating and sleeping habit is best for both of you.There's a lot we can learn from our cats in return. “When they sit softly breathing , eyes half closed, the sense of peace and calm that comes over us is like a private less on in inner meditation(冥想)，”Brunt said. They're probably pretty good at remaining calm.So, according to science, though we think that cats are not close to us all these years, it turns out they are in fact learning from us and looking up to us. Scary, huh?( ) 1. What does the word “terrifying” in paragraph 1 probably mean?A. 可怕的B. 高兴的C. 伤心的D. 无聊的( ) 2. According to the passage, which of the following is WRONG?A. Cats can copy humans' behaviours.B. Cats are smart and have a long memory.C. Green tea and yoga can benefit cats.D. Humans can learn from cats in some way.( ) 3. What does the underlined word “this” in Paragraph 4 refer to?A. Humans' keeping searching the fridge.B. Humans' drinking green tea and going to yogaC. Cats' copying humans' habit of looking for food.D. Cats' going to their owners for food.( ) 4. What can we learn from our cats?A. To remain peaceful.B. To be able to copy.C. To stay hungry.D. To look up to friends.( ) 5. The best title for the passage could be “________”．A. Your cat can bring you pleasureB. You are copying your catC. You can make your cat socialD. Your cat is copying your habit（4）THIS year t he US Mint will honor one of the country’s most famous writers.“Mark Twain”, the pen name of Samuel Clemens(1835-1911) is loved by American readers for his novels Tom Sawyer(1876) and The Adventures of Huckberry Finn(1844).Now he is going to have his life and work commemorated(纪念) with special gold and silver coins.But does Twain need to be commemorated? It doesn’t seem like people in the US will forget him. Twain once joked that a lack(缺少)of money is the root of all evil(邪恶)” but a lack of mon ey with Twain’s famous face on it wouldn’t have made people forget about him.The Adventures of Huckberry Finn is thought to be his greatest works.Motherless Huck Finn is a young boy who shows the spirit of freedom. But it could be said that Huck’s freedom really comes from Huck wanting to fly. When Huck gets away from his violent(暴力的) father, he isn’t really looking for freedom, but survival.It’s even more of a problem for a slave. Jim, the escaped(逃跑的) slave who Huck helps, makes Huck’s life seem even better. It’s easier not to be able to deal with someone who wants to force you to go to school than to have to fight a law that says you are a piece of property(财产).Huck and Jim’s friendship, as shown by Mark Twain, is one of the great stori es in American literature because it shows a white character, Huck, who gets an idea of the African American experience.Mark Twain is famous and would still be famous without any special coins. Anyway, the coins could be a reason to look again at the work of a writer who got under the skin of the US in the 19th century.With the race issue(种族问题) far from dead in the US today, perhaps Twain still has something to teach today’s readers.( )1. How many novels is mentioned written by Mark Twain in this passage?A. OneB. TwoC. ThreeD. Four( )2. Why is The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn considered Twain’s greatest works?A. It talks about how a black slave runs away from his violent owner.B. It describes an everlasting friendship between people of different races.C. It describes the social problem that a lack of money is the root of all evil.D. It talks about a white American understanding the African American experience. ( )3. According to the passage, which statement is NOT true?A. Huck gets away from his father for survival.B. Jim escapes from his slave owner for freedom.C. Twain dug deeply into American society of his times.D. Without the special coins, he’ll probably b e forgotten.( )4. The underlined phrase “far from dead” probably means _______.A. still being there.B. Becoming more serious.C. Being in danger.D. Gone for a long time.( )5. What’s the main purpose of the article?A. To tell the story of The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn.B. To tell readers about the special coins created to honor Mark Twain.C. To explore why the US still remembers and honors Mark Twain.D. To draw readers’ attention t o the many race issues in the US today.（5）You either have it, or you don’t—a sense of direction. But why is it that some people could find their way across the Sahara without a map while others can lose themselves in the next street?Scientists say we’re all born with a sense of direction, but it is not properly understood how it works. One theory(理论) is that people with a good sense of direction have simply worked harder at developing it. Research being carried out at Liverpool University supports this idea and suggests that if we don’t use it, we lose it.“Children as young as seven ha ve the ability to find their way around,” says Jim Martland, research director of the project. “However, if they are not allowed out alone or are taken everywhere by car, they never develop the skills.”Jim Martland also emphasizes that young people should be taught certain skills to improve their sense of direction. He makes the following suggestions:l If you are using a map, turn it to the way you are facing.l If you leave your bike in a strange place, put it near something like a big stone or a tree—something easy to recognize(辩认). Note landmarks(地标) on the route as you go away from your bike. When you return, go back along the same route.l The simple way of finding your direction by using lines such as streets in a town, streams, or wells in the countryside to guide you. Count your steps so that you know how far you have gone and note any landmarks such as tall buildings or hills which can help to find out where you are.Now you will never get lost again!1. Children have the ability to find the way around when they are ______ years old.A. 5B. 6C. 7D. 82. Which of the following things cannot be used as landmarks?A. Tall buildings.B. Hills.C. Wells.D. Bikes.3. What does the underlined word “emphasize” mean in the passage?A. To give special importance to something.B. To express thanks for somebody.C. To understand or realize a fact.D. To admire somebody.4. Scientists believe that __________.A. some babies are born with a sense of directionB. people learn a sense of direction as they grow olderC. people never lose their sense of directionD. everybody has a sense of direction from birth5. What may be the best title of the passage?A. A research on direction.B. The sense of direction.C. People’s ability of finding the way.D. Scientists’ research on skills.（6）阅读理解阅读下列短文, 根据短文内容选择最佳答案。

Internet Safety RulesKey: D BCCDBDo you know why different animals or pests (昆虫) have their special colors? Colors in them seem to be used mainly to protect themselves.Some birds like eating locusts (蝗虫), but birds cannot easily catch them. Why? It is because locusts change their colors together with the change of the colors of crops(庄稼). When crops are green, locusts look green. But as the harvest time comes, locusts change to the same brown color as crops have. Some other pests with different colors from plants are easily found and eaten by others. So they have to hide themselves for lives and appear only at night.If you study the animal life, you’ll find the main use of coloring is to protect themselve s. Bears, lions and other animals move quietly through forests. They cannot be easily seen by hunters (猎人). This is because they have the colors much like the trees.Have you ever noticed an even stranger act? A kind of fish in the sea can send out a kind of very black liquid (液体)when it faces danger. While the liquid spreads over (散开), its enemies (敌人)cannot find it. And it immediately swims away.

That’s our duck!”The duck was the now-famous Donald Duck, who first appeared in 1934 in the firm The Wise Little Hen. Donald lived in an old houseboat(水上住家) and wore his sailor jacket and hat. Later that year he became a star after an eight –minute Mickey Mouse film. The cinema audience liked him because he was lazy and greedy(贪婪的), and because he lost his temper (发脾气) very quickly. And they loved his voice when he became angry with Mickey’s eight nephews(侄子). Soon Donald was more popular than Mickey Mouse himself, probably because he wasn’t a goody-goody like Mickey.In the 1930S, ‘ 40s and ‘ 50s Donald and his friends Mickey, Goofy and Pluto made hundreds of Disney cartoons. He also made educational films about the place of the USA in the world, and safety in the home.

One day the queen had a baby daughter. When they saw their baby, they both cried out, “My goodness! How small it is! It’s hairless and toothless! It’s a monster!” They sent for all the doctors in the country and ordered them to prepare some medicine for her.“When she drinks your medicine, she must grow to the right size and have hair and teeth,” the king said, “If you don’t do this, you’ll have a beating.”The doc tors thought it impossible, but they dared not say anything against the king’s order. Just then and old doctor stepped forward. “Oh, we shall certainly obey your order,” he said, “but it takes time. We have to dig a mineral from the KunLun Mountains when the snow melts for the second time. The snow melts on those mountains only once in six years.

He was so well known for his good knowledge of almost everything that lots of people from all over the country came to learn from him. The great man taught his students whole-heartedly and answered their questions with great patience.One day a student asked him, “ My dear teacher, didn’t you say you yourself have many ,many more questions about things than we do? But I think we students have far more than you.”With a smile on his face, the teacher drew two circles ,one as large as a big cake, the other smaller. Then he said , “Of course, I have learned much more. But it’s wrong to think that a teacher has fewer questions than his students. Now, look at these two circles. The inside of the bigger one is my knowledge of things, and the inside of the smaller one is yours. Out of the circles is what is still unknown to us. Since mine is larger, I have to use the longer line to draw the bigger circle. That means I have more o pportunities to face what is still unknown.

But can also be very harmful. Fire can heat water warm your houses, give light, and cook food. But fire can burn things too. It can burn trees, houses, animals, or people. Sometimes big fires can burn forests.Nobody knows for sure how people began to use fire. But there are many interesting, old stories about the first time a man or woman started a fire. One story from Australia tells about a man very, very long time ago. He went up to the sun by a rope and brought fire down.Today people know how to make a fire with matches. Children sometimes like to play with them. But matches can be very dangerous. One match can burn a piece of paper, and then it might burn a house. A small fire can become a big fire very fast.Fires kill many people every year. So you must be careful with matches. You should also learn to put out fires. Fires need oxygen. Without oxygen they die. There is oxygen in the air. Cover a fire with water, sand, or in an emergency, with your coat or something else. This keeps the air away from a fire and kills it.Be careful with fire, and it will help you. Be careless with fire, and it will burn you.()1. Which is true?A.

She thought it was good for Katie to learn art if they moved there.When her mom suggested moving, Katie had many questions and things to care about.

It regulates(调节) food and the food supply. It also controls diet supplement(供给). The FDA also makes sure that drugs and medical instruments are safe and effective.For drugs and medical machines to be accepted, they must go through a certain process. There are many strict tests. First, anything that humans use must be tested on animals. This may take up to 6 years. Then, it must be tested with a few people. Testing on 15 to 20 people can last up to a year and a half. Third, a mid-sized group (100 to 500 people) is used. This often takes two years. Then a large group is tested over 3 years. Of 5,000 drugs discovered, only 5 go to the final test. Of that, only one passes on to the market.Food supplements like ginseng(人参) follow a different path. The FDA does not test them as they do for drugs. The agency only controls these products if they are unsafe but are already being sold. Two exceptions are baby and medical food. Because those that use them are not strong, the FDA is more careful with these products.Labeling(标签) is a major focus. A label must show what a product is for. For drugs, labels should say the name of the drug and what it is used for. It should also detail who should take it and list any side effects. It needs to detail directions for pregnant women, children, or old people. It also needs to detail safety information.The FDA protects the public from harm. It achieves this through controls and labeling. It has standards for effectiveness in medical products. It also has standards for how information is shared.4. According to the passage, how many drugs make it to the market?A. Nearly five thousand.B. One of five thousand.C. Five of five thousand.D. Over five thousand.5. The writer uses food supplements as an example of which of the following?A. Things the FDA avoidsB. Things the FDA controlsC. Things the FDA buysD. Things the FDA refuses6. What do we know about labeling from paragraph 4?A. It is a necessary way to protect the public.B. It does not matter if people read the labels or not.C. It is only good if people can find the label.D. It has no use if doctors tell people what to do.7. Which of the following best shows the structure of the passage?A. B. C. D.CThe Chinese are very generous when it comes to educating their children. Not caring about the money, parents often send their children to the best schools or foreign countries. They also make their children take after-school classes. The Chinese believe that the more expensive an education is, the better it is. In the countryside, even poor parents are willing to buy computers for their children.But in fact, the best early education that parents can give their children is usually very cheap. They should teach their children the most important skills to help them become confident, happy and clever.Parents can achieve this by teaching children practical skills like cooking, washing and doing other chores. Teaching children to cook will improve many skills that they will need later in life. Cooking needs patience and time. It’s an enjoyable but difficult experience. A good cook always tries to improve his cooking skills, so he will learn to work hard and finish his job successfully. His result, a great dinner, will give him much satisfaction and a lot of self-confidence.Some old machines, such as a broken radio or a TV set that you give your child to play with, will make him interested. He will spend hours looking at them and trying to fix them. Perhaps your child will become an engineer when he grows up because these activities can teach a child to think. And that is the most important.8. How do Chinese parents usually deal with their children’s education?A. All of them send their children abroad.B. They all buy computers for their children.C. They all let their children study in the best schools.D. They always try their best to give their children a better education.9. What does the underlined word ＂this＂refer to?A. Teaching children the most important skills.B. Providing children with a better education.C. Helping children become confident, happy and clever.D. Providing children with enjoyable and relaxing experiences.10. What can we know from the passage?A. In China, most children are interested in after-school classes.B. For children, cooking is one of the most important skills.C. All parents like to use old machines to teach children to think.D. Most parents educate their children by teaching them to do the chores.11. What’s the ma in idea of the passage?A. Parents should know how to educate their children better.B. Parents should pay attention to their children’s school education.C. Parents are used to spending lots of money on their children’s education.D. Chinese children need to learn to do the chores when they are young.DMy grandmother grew up in a world different from me. She experienced many things in her long life.Though she never told stories, her stories were in the way she ate — she savored(品尝) her food, cherished it. Often she would be the first to sit at the dinner table, and the last to leave. Food had been really scarce(缺乏的) when she grew up.Her stories were in the way she handed me lucky money. From a young age, my grandmother was brought up to understand the importance of hard work and the necessity of saving. Every Chinese New Year, I would be handed, or sent a small red envelope that contained money, but never more than twenty yuan. When I was young, I didn’t understand why my grandmo ther gave me such a small amount of money. As I grew older, I realized that she wasn’t teaching me about money, but about tradition and hard work and family. The money was not the main point.I would probably spend it on any toy that I would lose soon after; it was the meaning behind her gift that mattered. It was her saying, “I love you; I am your family and I want you to work hard as your family has before you.”My grandmother’s stories were lessons. But they were never told in words. From the time that I was very young, up until she could barely remember my name, I remember her calling me “good girl”. Those two little words, in the course of my growing up, were a constant reminder that I was still so young, with still so far to go.Now my grandmother is gone, but I see her every day. I see her in the women around me and in the mirror. She lives with me, inside me, and in the legacies(遗产) that I will create. And I know she would be proud.12. The writer’s grandmother spent so much time eating at the table b ecause ________.A. she had no teethB. she was not so hungry at firstC. she was preparing to clean the tableD. she really wanted to enjoy the food13. What did the writer learn from the way her grandmother gave her lucky money?A. Her grandmother didn’t have much money.B. Her grandmother preferred boys to girls.C. It was important for her to work hard.D. It was impolite to accept others’ money.14. What did the writer realize when hearing her grandmother call her “good girl”?A. She was really a good girl.B. She needed to keep improving herself.C. She should be proud of her manners and behavior.D. She was always a good girl in her grandmother’s eyes.15. What can we know about the writer’s grandmother after reading the passage?A. She loved telling stories about the past.B. She was poor throughout all her life.C. She set a great example for the writer.D. She was a mean woman with old-fashioned values.第二节（共5 小题，每小题 2 分，满分10 分）下面文章中有五处（第16—20 题）需要添加小标题。

AAbby’s father was taking her to visit her grandmother. Abby was going to be away for three months. “I can’t leave Tobias behind,” she said. “You will have to,” said her father. “You can’t take Tobias into another country.”Abby thought it was silly rule. “I will take him,” she said to herself. So she put him in a sock and packed it in her bag.At the airport, Abby put her bag by the x-ray machine. Abby felt her legs shaking as the bag was going through the machine. She hoped Tobias in the bag made no noise. The woman by the machine smiled and said, “Have a good flight.”On the plane, Abby waited until her dad and the woman next to her fell asleep. Then she opened the sock to look at Tobias. But he jumped out of the sock and landed on the woman’s knee. The woman cried loudly, “A mouse!” Abby quickly put Tobias into the sock and back into her bag.Before they landed, Dad filled out a form, choosing no to: Are you bringing any live animals into the country?She saw the man frown (皱眉) as her bag went through the x-ray machine.

Abby opened her mouth but no sound came out.Tobias had to be in quarantine (隔离) for six months, which cost a lot of money. And Abby wouldn’t be able to visit her grandmother again.

To choose which camp is best for you, first you must do a bit of research.Maybe you’ve never thought about it before, but every great summer camp has the same main goals—opportunity, challenge and growth.Opportunity means you are given a chance to do something special. It also makes you special because other kids don’t have the same opportunity. For example, if you are interested in writing, then you can choose to join a journalism (新闻) camp. You may have the opportunity of meeting famous journalists there.Challenge means you are given a task. You must finish the task and succeed in dealing with the challenge. Then you will have a sense of achievement. For example, you could take a lifeguard course at some summer camps. If you pass the exam, then you will receive a certificate (证书) to become a real lifeguard.This also leads to the third and most important goal of very great summer camp—personal growth. It doesn’t mean growing taller and stronger or more beautiful. It means seeing yourselfimprove, learning something new and doing something you didn’t know or believe you could do before. It also means becoming more confident in yourself.So in the future when choosing your next summer camp, remember to ask yourself: Is it a special opportunity? Is it a challenge? Will I grow?But what about friendship, fun and joy? These will all happen naturally when you have the right goals at summer camps!31. Which is the writer’s opinion?A. Different camps have different goals.B. There are too many summer camps today.C. All great summer camps have the same main goals.D. All the summer camps offer the same activities and courses.32. According to the passage, a camper feels successful when he ______.A. joins the best campB. finishes a hard taskC. grows taller and strongerD. takes a special chance33. The most important thing for a camper is to ______.A. take opportunitiesB. grow more beautifulC. become better and more confidentD. learn new life-saving skills34. What does the last paragraph tell us?A. It’s not important to have fun at a camp.B. It’s hard to make real friends at a camp.C. You can get more joy with more goals at camp.D. With the right goals, you can have fun while learning at a camp.35. Which is the best title for the passage?A. What makes a camp great?B. Which is the best goal?C. How to be a successful camper?D. How to do research work?CAt some point in life, many people develop a mental (精神)problem.While most people get over it, for others it doesn’t go away easily.The WHO says that about 20 percent of teenagers worldwide suffer from mental illness. It’s thought that the number of teenagers with mentalillness around the world will increase by half by 2020. It will become one of the main causes of illness, and even death.In China, the picture isn’t bright, either. About one tenth of teenagersunder the age of 17 have a mental health challenge.The world is changing fast. Study and relationships have always caused stress, but today the stress is much higher than before, the WHO said.A research centre in Oxford University says that young people today have big stresses at school. For example, they experience bullying (欺凌). In a 2017 report, the centre noted that the Internet was a special source (渠道) of stress. Online, young people often see “messages about perfection” and this causes the young “great uncertainty about their futures”, says the centre.Also, according to China Daily, Chinese people don’t ask for help with their mental problems. They fear that others will think less of them if they say that they are in mental trouble. Elaine Peng, a US mental health educator, makes a similar point. And in the UK, over threequarters of young people believe their mental problems have a social stigma. It is reported in 2017 that a quarter of young UK people wouldn’t ask for help if they developed a mental problem.Young people who don’t ask for help for their condition may be creating problems for themselves in the future. Elaine Peng warned that, “If we hide our mental health, it may remain a problem forever.”“My message for young people is, if you feel something is wrong within you—ask for help,”he told China Daily.36. Which of the following is NOT the cause of stress according to the passage?A. Heavy schoolworkB. Being bullied at school.C. Some information from the Internet.D. Certainty about the future.37. Why don’t Chinese people ask for help with their mental problems?A. They don’t think them serious.B. They can get over them in time.C. They can keep their mental health secret.D. They are afraid of being looked down upon.38. What does the underlined word “stigma” most probably mean in Chinese?A. 羞耻B.印象C. 援助D. 危害39. Elaine Peng advised the teenagers with mental illness to ______.A. think less of themselvesB. avoid being bulliedC. ask for help as soon as possibleD. stay away from the Internet.40. The main purpose of the passage is to ______.A. ask research centers for helpB. tell about teenagers’ stressesC. call public attention on teenagers with mental illnessD. show some different opinions from different countries26-30CACBB31-35CBCDC 36-40DDACC2018三、阅读理解（共15小题，满分30分）阅读下列材料，然后从每小题A、B、C、D四个选项中选出能回答所提问题或完成所给句子的最佳答案。
