They need to learn to live in a different environment. Some laws and rules are written down. They can learn about them before they arrive. But there are lots of "unwritten rules," too. Unwritten rules are behaviors that no one talks about, but that most people understand.Here is a list of five important issues any new arrival to the U.S. should know about.Be "on time."In some cultures, time is not a big issue. If you tell your friend to meet you at 2 p.m. and you arrive at 2:45 p.m., there is no problem. In the U.S., people feel that being on time is a sign of respect. If you are late by more than a few minutes, people will think you do not care. They will feel you are wasting their time. They will take your lateness as an insult.Be sure you always "tip."In many countries, after you eat at a restaurant, you only pay the amount shown on the bill. But, in the U.S., people who work in restaurants and bars often earn a low hourly wage. So, they try to provide excellent service, hoping the customer will give them a "tip," meaning a little extra. People in the U.S. tip between 15 percent and 20 percent of the bill. You also give tips to taxi drivers, hotel employees and the people who cut your hair.Be careful what you say. Any place you go there will be some things that are proper to talk about and some things that are not. Supposing that people have the same beliefs as you is abad idea. In the past decade, people in the U.S. have become more open about discussing strong political and religious views. But it is still best to listen to people share their opinions first and then decide about sharing your own. Also, there are several topics you should avoid asking questions about: how much money a person makes and if they are married. But if a person offers this information, then there is no problem.Be polite for the situation. People in the U.S. define being polite in very special ways. For example, waiting in line involves a strong set of rules in this country. You must wait until the people in front of you have done what they are waiting to do. When going through a door, the person behind you expects you to hold the door for them. Also, it is common for people you do not know to say hello to you when passing you. But this does not always mean they are inviting you to stop and talk for a long time. Many times the person is just being friendly. If you don't say hello back to them they may think you are being unfriendly.26. The passage talks about several issues except ______.A. timeB. personal spaceC. giving tipD. education27. What's the meaning of the word confusing in paragraph 1?A. 轻而易举的B. 引人发笑的C. 令人疑惑的D. 令人尴尬的28. If you are late in the U. S., the one you meet________.A. will insult youB. will think you don't respect him/herC. will think it's okayD. will ask you for some tip29. How many examples are shown on "being polite"?A. 1.B. 2.C. 3.D. 4.30. Which of the following is TRUE in the US?A. It's not polite to ask a person if he/she is married.B. You'd better think that people have the same beliefs as you.C. It's not allowed to discuss about religious views.D. People usually tip 80 dollars if their bill is 80 dollars.BOnce upon a time, there lived a very rich and wealthy man in a big town. He led a luxurious life. He always showed off his wealth to his friends and relatives.His son was studying in a distant city and he returned home for vacation. The rich man wanted to show off to his son how rich he was. But his son didn’t like any luxurious lifestyle. However, the rich man wanted to make his son realize that his lifestyle was extremely rich and that poor people suffered a lot. He planned a day’s visit to the entire town to show him the life of the poor people.The father and the son took a chariot and visited the entire town. They returned home after two days. The father was happy that his son was very quiet after seeing the poor people honouring （尊敬） the rich man and after witnessing the sufferings of the poor.The rich man asked his son, “Dear boy, how was the trip? Have you enjoyed it?”“Yes my dad, it was a great trip with you,” the son replied.“So, what did you learn from the trip?” the father asked.The son was silent.“Finally you have realized how the poor suffer and how they actually live,” said the father.“No father,” replied the son. He added, “We have only two dogs, they have 10 dogs. We havea big pool in our garden, but they have a large bay（港湾） without any end! We have luxurious and expensive lights from various countries, but they have countless stars lighting their nights. We have a house on a small piece of land, but they have abundant fields that go beyond the horizon （视野）. We are protected by huge and strong walls around our property（财产）, but they bond with（与……连着） each other and surround themselves with their fellow beings. We have to buy food from them, but they are so rich that they can grow their own food.”The rich father was stunned and speechless, on hearing his son’s words.Finally the son added, “Dad, thank you so much for showing me who is rich and who is poor. Thank you for l etting me understand how poor we really are!”31. Which has the closest meaning to the underlined word “luxurious”?A. richB. freeC. troublesomeD. difficult32. Why did the father plan a visit to the town?A. to show off his wealthB. to show his son how poor he wasC. to show his son how poor others wereD. to share his gold with others33. After the trip, the son disagreed that ___________________.A. the bay is much better than their pool in the gardenB. their lights were worth much more than the stars aboveC. the people in the town lived a much better life than his familyD. they had to depend on others for food while others needn’t.34. What can we learn from the passage?A. The son had the same personality as his fathrer.B. The father was tired of his wealthy lifestyle.C. Acturally, the father just pretended that he had a lot of money.D. True wealth is not measured by money and property.35. According to the story, the son is a man who___________.A. knew what was really more valuableB. was proud of being richC. was proud of being poorD. was hard-working and friendlyCManufacturing（制造业） is an important industry in the United States. However, for many years, Americans have expressed fear that the industry is in danger.Matthew Burnett knows this all too well. The American businessman started a watch company in 2007. At first, he had overseas（海外的） manufacturers make all his products. As a result, Burnett often faced shipping delays（延误）, a lack（缺乏） of quality control, and time zone problems. Later, he developed into leather goods. Still, he tried to find factories in the country to make the wallets, belts, and other products of his new brand. And he was not alone. Many American businessmen found it easier to go out of the country for manufacturing. There was no central marketplace for the industry.So, Matthew Burnett, and his business partner Tanya Menendez, created one. They called it Maker's Row. Since 2012, the online marketplace has been connecting businessmen with American manufacturers.Matthew Burnett explains. "What we try to do at Maker's Row is to encourage the brands to start producing in the United States so that you see more made in America products on the shelves. We used to produce 97 percent of the goods that we consume here in the United States, today it's less than three percent. So it makes it very challenging to find sometimes made in America products, but that's the situation we're trying to change, by bringing these brands back home to produce."Maker's Row helps brands and businesses find and organize their supply chains（供应链）in the country. Besides, Maker's Row can be especially helpful to new or part-time entrepreneurs （企业家）. The site, , can provide a plan for turning an idea into a business. And co-founder Tanya Menendez says Maker's Row offers classes and training. "We have an online course. They're designed for people with busy lifestyles or those who may start off working 9-to-5." Today, the Maker's Row website has 80,000 registered users.The BCG company in Boston advises businesses around the world. It estimates（估计） the average cost to manufacture goods in the U.S. is only five-percent higher than in China. And the company predicts（预计） that by 2018 the cost difference will narrow further, to as little as two percent higher. Maker's Row and other similar efforts could play a big part in making that prediction come true.36. What is true about the situation of manufacturing in the U.S.?A. It plays an unimportant part in the country.B. It’s impor tant and the top of the world.C. It’s importand in the country but not as good as before.D. Few people in the U.S. care about this industry.37. According to Burnett, what problems did he face when he found overseas manufacturers?A. Time zone problems, shipping delay, and a lack of quality control.B. Shipping delay, high pay, and a lack of quality control.C. A lack of shipping control, high pay and a lack of time.D. Different time zones, shipping delay, a lack of labour.38. What is the main purpose of Maker's Row?A. To help college students learn to start their business.B. To have more products made in America.C. To encourage businessmen to find overseas manufacturers.D. To raise money through online lessons.39. According to the last paragraph, which of the followings is not true?A. It is predicted that the cost difference between America and China will be smaller.B. Now the average cost in the U.S. is 5% smaller than in China.C. The average cost in the U.S. will probably be 2% higher than in China.D. Maker’s Row will help to make the cost difference smaller.40. What is the best title for the article?A. Makers' Row：Made in AmericaB. Manufacturing problemsC. Prediction about manufacturingD. A new brand in AmericaDWHERE TO STAY IN BOSWELL.

广东省广州市2019年中考英语模拟试卷精选汇编：阅读填空46. Recently, self-driving cars have been seen on the roads in Beijing, without drivers.47. Tesla, Uber, and Baidu have been testing and developing their own self-driving cars since last year.48. Self-driving cars are considered safer than regular cars, and can provide easier transportation for disabled or blind individuals.49. In a test, a laser pointer was pointed at the car's sensors while it was moving, causing it to slow down or change direction due to mistaken sensor readings.50. While there have been concerns about the safety of self-driving cars due to software malfunctions, companies are working to improve technology and safety measures to reduce the risk of accidents.In addition to their safety benefits, self-driving cars are also more environmentally friendly than traditional vehicles. This is due to their ability to optimize routes and reduce idling time, which results in lower emissions and a smaller carbon footprint.50Looking back, I am so grateful to Emily for reaching out to me. Without her, I don't know if I would have ever found my placein the school. Now, I feel more confident and comfortable around others, and I know that I have the writing skills to express myself in a way that others can understand.Don't be afraid to get out of your comfort zone. All these thoughts pushed me to step out of my comfort zone. After getting out of it, you will get a lot of surprises. You will build more relationships with others, and you will become more positive and confident about your life.Through their dedication and hard work, Operation Smile has transformed the lives of countless children and their families. We hope that by learning about their efforts, you too will be inspired to make a difference in the world.Overall, growth is an important part of our development as human beings. As we grow, our bodies change and develop in various ways, and it's important to take care of ourselves to ensure healthy growth and development.。

My 11-year-old son, Tom, for years would fight with me over everything. If I said the sky was blue, he would say it was black. For years he was falling several subjects. We took games away, then TV and finally the smart phone; we tried a reward program, but nothing worked long. He would bring a grade up to get all his things back, and then go back to where he had been.My daughter told me one day to bring him to her karate class, and maybe life in the martial arts （武术）would help him turn around. At first he didn't like it because he had to ask for permission to doeverything and he had to say "yes, sir" and "no, sir" for everything. He even had to respect his sister because she was of a high level. So he wanted to stop. However, my husband told my son, "If I can do this at the age of 40, so can you." And since then my husband would learn martial arts three or four times a week with them.My son learned so much about a better way of living: respecting others, following the rules, and above all, respecting himself. I am proud to say both of my kids are now high honor students, and we could not be closer than we are.There is always an answer to your problem.

However, whether you are in the mountains, in the waves, or on the grassland, you should be aware that your choice of sports might have great influence on the environment.Some sports are resource-hungry (资源饥渴).Golf, as you may know, eats up not only large areas of countryside, but also tons of water. Besides, all sorts of chemicals and huge amounts of energy are used to keep its courses in good condition. This causes major environment effects. For example, in the dry regions of Portugal and Spain, golf is often held responsible for serious water shortage in some local areas.There are many environmentfriendly sports. Power walking is one of them that you can take up today.You don't need any special equipment except a good pair of shoes and you don't have to worry about resources and your purse. Simple and free, power walking can also keep you fit. If you walk regularly, it will be good for your heart and bones. Experts say that 20 minutes of power walking daily can make you feel less anxious, sleep well and have better weight control.Whatever sports you take up, you can make it greener by using environmen-ftriendly equipment and buying products made from recycled materials. But the final goal should be "green gyms". They are better replacement for traditional health clubs and modern sports stadiums. Members of green gyms play sportsoutdoors, in the countryside or other open spaces. There is no special requirement for you to start your membership. And best of all, it's free.31.Which of the following does the author most probably like?A. Cycling around a lake.B. Driving a car on the street.C. Playing basketball in a gym.D.

If you like origami (折纸), we're sure you enjoy making paper planes, too. All it takes is some paper and a new simple supply. And paper planes can be fun tofly around the houses or outside the yard.No one knows for sure when the first paper plane was created. Sometimes, historians give credit to Leonardo da Vinci. However, paper folding and kite making were both popular in Asia hundreds of years ago, so it's likely that the first paper plane may have been made long, long ago.In some Asian countries, the art of folding paper is called origami. Some people call the art of making paper planes aerogami.Since paper planes flow （流动）through the air, they can teach scientists and engineers a lot about basic concepts of flight, engineering and aerodynamics （空气动力学）In fact, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration （NASA）（美国航天航空局）once sent a paper plane into space on a space shuttle!If you are wondering how a paper plane would fly in outer space, you might be surprised by the answer. According to scientists, paper planes won't actually fly in outer space. Instead, paper planes would simply float in a straight line and could possibly float forever unless they hit another object!The Wright brothers also used paper planes to test out their theories about flight before making their first flight. They built a wind tunnel and used paper planes to gain a better understanding of how their plane would operate in the wind.So just how far can a paper plane fly? On February 28, 2012, former college quarterback Joe Ayoob set the world record for the longest paper plane flight. He threw a paper plane the entire length of a warehouse, setting the record at 226 feet, 10 inches. That broke the old record by 19 feet, 6 inches!36.The author thinks making paper planes.A. is difficult activity for childrenB. has its value to flightC. shows that the Asians are cleverD. is one of the most important discoveries37.Why did scientists send a paper plane into outer space?A. To perform a special task.B. To observe how it would fly.C. To help astronauts.D. To find some pleasure.38.What might make you want to know about a paper plane in outer space?A. It would fly as we expect.B. It would not move at all.A. Leonardo da Vinci created the first paper plane.B. NASA once flew a paper plane in a space shuttle.C. The Wright brothers used paper planes to test their flight theories.D. Joe Ayoob set the world record for the longest paper plane flight at 19 feet, 6 inches. 40. What is the best title for the passage?A. The paper plane's influence on flight.B. The history of making paper planes.C. The invention of planes.D.

"This is the only move you’ll ever19 to know，" the teacher replied.The boy didn’t quite20 ，but he believed in his teacher and kept training.Several more months later, the teacher took the boy to his first tournament （锦标赛）.The boy easily won his first two matches.

I have 100 billion nerve cells （神经细胞），so you need to consider before you blame （责怪）me for not being so fast enough. It’s not really my fault: information travels through me too fast and sometimes I can’t keep all of it.Th e Internet is making me weak. A study found that you’ve been relying more on the Internet. That means I’m going to forget more over time. Scientists have been worried that our ability to think is being lost.In general, I’m about ten percent larger in men than women. It doesn’t make men smarter. It just lets me control their different bodies. Actually, it’s more common for women to get angry, but men can’t focus on a thing well. They usually have language difficulties.Your mobile phone scares me. A new study showed that more than one hour of mobile phone use can get me in trouble. Mobile phone radiation （辐射）might cause me to be in a worse situation.Some parts of me never sleep. It’s important for you to get a good night’s sleep. Sleep helps to improve memories.

Do any other animals feel empathy? Scientists recently found that rats（老鼠）do, too.Most people don’t like rats. In many people’s eyes, rats are only bad. But Jean Dece ty and his partners at the University of Chicago did an experiment. It showed that rats are kind, warm-hearted animals. They can feel each other’s pain.Scientists placed pairs of rats in plastic cages for two weeks. During this time they got to know each other. Then they put one of the rats from each pair into a small container（容器）in the cages. The small container had a door. It was so designed as to fall to the side when the free rat touched it. Many of the trapped rats squeaked（吱吱叫）to show their discomfort. The other rats of the pairs could see their suffering friends clearly.In most pairs, the free rats would become very worried about their friends. They kept trying to save their friends again and again throughout the month. Scientists put the rats，favorite chocolate in the cages, but the rats didn’t eat it until they had saved their friends successfully.

Normally, this would be followed by feelings of worry about the day ahead. But today was different. Today he couldn’t wait to go to school.He rushed to his desk and picked up the old jam jar which contained a colorful butterfly. It had taken him hours to catch and now it was going to be part of his biology presentation for school.While most of his classmates would be showing drawings of insects or animals taken from textbooks, Paul planned to present something different ---- a live creature. This was sure to get him the highest grade in the class.Paul sat at his desk admiring the insect’s beautiful red and yellow wings. He had made air holes in the jar’s lid, and added leaves for the butterfly to eat. It might be in a glass prison but at least it was being well cared for, Paul thought as he left for school.Paul entered the classroom early, and put the jar in his desk. Biology was the first lesson after lunch and he wanted his presentation to be a surprise. After taking the jar from his bag, he noticed the butterfly was very still. Its wings moved very slowly and its color seemed to have faded too. Probably just a little tired from the trip in the bag, Paul hoped.Throughout the morning, Paul secretly checked on the insect. Each time it seemed a little stiller, its color a little duller. Something was wrong. When the lunch-bell rang, he waited for his classmates to leave before opening the jar. The butterfly was still alive, but only just.He took the jar to the bathroom and sprinkled a few drops of water on the butterfly’s head. The cooling effect was instant. The butterfly came to life again and Paul barely managed to replace the lid before it flew out. But rather than pleasure, the sight of the revived butterfly crashing against the jar, desperate for freedom, made Paul feel guilty. He was being cruel for a mark.As he walked back to class, feeling ashamed, the bell went again. It was time for Biology. He walked over to the window, opened the jar and set the butterfly free. A moment later the biology teacher entered. "Paul，your presentation’s first today.""Sorry sir," the boy replied，” I forgot all about it."36. What can we guess about Paul from the passage?A.He often caught animals.B.He did not usually enjoy school.C.He was a very clever student.D.

Thosetalented musical performers, however, are only some of thepeople involved in making the music you enjoy. Mostpeople in the music industry work "behind the scenes", but their roles in the music-making process are very important.SongwritersBefore you can hear a song, a songwriter must imagine it Some songwriters work alone, but many songwriting teams include someone who writes the s ong’s words, and another person who writes the music. Pop music legend Elton John’s best-known songs, including Tiny Dancer and Your Song, were written to accompany the words of Bernie Taupin, whose name you might not know.ArrangersAfter a song has been written, music arrangers make it more appealing by deciding which instruments will be used, what speed the song will have, and the song’s pitch. A good arrangement can make a song a “classic” that people will remember and want to hear again and again.Recording EngineersRecording engineers also play a major role in creating the final sound that you hear. First, they set up the recording studio, the room where the performers play. Next, they use electronic equipment torecord the music. Finally, long after the musicians have finished, recording engineers use a mixing board to balance the sounds of each musician, and sometimes to incorporate special sound effects or additional tracks.Studio MusiciansMany talented singers and musicians aren’t stars, but work in the background as studio musicians. These artists aren’t members of one musical group. Instead, they are hired for recording sessions that eventually become the music you buy, as well as the music used in television shows, movies, and radio ads.Many people make a living with music. You may not recognize all of their names, but all of them work together to create the songs you love to listen to.41. What is the best title for this passage?A.
