Taking Care of Things“You’re going to be alone on the farm this weekend,” my father said as though that was no big deal. “I expect you to take care of it.”I had never been left alone on our farm, but I knew that I could deal with just about anything that might come up. I was ready to 13 that to my dad.As soon as my dad left on his trip, I headed out to check on our cows in the barn (谷仓). I saw Loretta, my dad’s favourite cow, eating apples.Just after I left the barn, I heard a sound I’d never heard before. I ran quickly back and found Loretta down on her front knees, eyes rolled back, looking as though she was about to14 . She seemed to have a hard time breathing. I knew right away that she’d got an apple stuck in her throat. I tried to force the apple out but 15 , so I ran to call our vet ( 兽医), Dr. Carrico.When Dr. Carrico arrived, he felt around her neck 16 the situation. He told me to get him two boards. Finally, Loretta swallowed (咽下) the apple. Loretta, was now free to breathe.“Did your dad leave you to see about things?” asked Dr. Carrico. “Yes, sir.” “Well, it’s not easy. 17 , you know when to call for help.”I thought about not telling my dad about what had happened, but 18 that stupid idea in a hurry, since he was not a man you kept things from. After I told him, he didn’t seem to react much, just kept saying, “Hmm, I see.” a lot. I guessed he was very 19 in me.However, when two weeks later Loretta had her baby, my father asked me to name it. That surprised me because he always named the baby cows by himself. I looked at him in 20 . He smiled at me and said, “She’s yours. Take good care of her.” he said as though he trusted I could do that. I thought a lot and finally called the baby cow Apple.13.

ANature in ArtMany artists paint and use nature in their works, but the results are very different. Here are four21.When did Stanislaw paint the Hinczow Lakes?A. In 1885.B. In 1907.C. In 1937.D.

Damie Hirst.BMany scientists believe our love of sugar may actually be an addiction (上瘾). When we eat or drink sugary foods, the sugar enters our blood and influences parts of our brain that make us feel good. Then the good feeling goes away, leaving us wanting more. All tasty foods do this, but sugar has a particularly strong effect. In this way, it is in fact addictive, and doctors suggest we all cut down on it.“It seems like every time I study an illness, I find my way back to sugar,” says scientist Richard Johnson. One-third of adults worldwide have high blood pressure ( 血压), and up to 347 million have diabetes (糖尿病). Why? “Sugar, we believe, is one of the reasons, if not the main reason,” says Johnson.Our bodies are designed to survive on very little sugar. Early humans often had very little food, so our bodies learned to keep sugar as fat. In this way, we had energy stored for when there was no food. But today, most people have more than enough. So the very thing that once saved us may now be killing us.So what is the solution? It’s obvious that we need to eat less sugar. The trouble is, in today’s world, it’s extremely difficult to avoid. From breakfast cereals to after-dinner desserts, our foods are increasingly filled with it. Some manufacturers ( 制造商) even use sugar to replace taste in foods that are advertised as low in fat. This may make the food appear as healthier, but large amounts of sugar are often added.But there are those who are fighting back against sugar. Many schools are offering more fruit instead of deserts. Other schools are building facilities for students to do exercise. The battle has not yet been lost.24.Why is sugar addictive?A.It makes us feel good and want more of it.B.It has a strong effect on our blood.C.Tasty foods are full of sugar.D.There is sugar in medicine.25.According to the passage, why is it so hard to avoid sugar?A.We like candy too much.B.It gives us needed energy.C.It is in so many foods and drinks.D.We get used to eating it at school.26.What is the passage mainly about?A.Ways to avoid sugar.B.Our addiction to sugar.C.Illnesses caused by sugar.D.Good sugar and bad sugar.CThe Teenage BrainParents, teachers, and others who deal closely with teenagers know how difficult the adolescent(青少年的) years can be. This was thought to be due to the “foolishness of youth.” Now, brain-imaging technology allows scientists to study the physical development of the brain in more details than ever before. Their discoveries have led a new theory of why teens act this way.Recently, scientists have discovered that though our brains are almost at their full size by the age of six, they are far from fully developed. Only during adolescence do our brains truly “grow up.” During this time, they go through great changes, like a computer system being upgraded. This “upgrade” was once thought to be finished by about age 12. Now scientists have found that our brains continue to change until age 25. Such changes make us better at balancing impulses (冲动) with following rules. But a still-developing brain does this clumsily(笨拙地). The result, scientists believe, is the unpredictable behavior seen in teenagers.The studies show that teens are more likely to take risks. Luckily, the news isn’t all bad. As brain scientist B. J. Casey points out, the teen brain inspires such behavior in order to help teens prepare for adult life.One way the brain does this is by changing the way teens measure risk and reward (回报). Researchers have found that when teens think about rewards, their brains release more of the chemicals that create pleasure. Researchers believe this makes the rewards seem more important than the risks, and makes teens feel the excitement of new experience.Research into the structure of the teen brain have also found that it makes social connection seem especially rewarding. As such, teens have a strong need to meet new people. Because it is still developing, a teen brain can change to deal with new situations. So it connects social rewards with even more pleasure. In this way, the brain encourages teens to have a wide circle of friends, which is believed to make them more successful in life.Unluckily, this need for greater rewards can sometimes lead teens to make bad decisions. However, it also means that teens are more likely, and less afraid, to try new things or to be independent. And in the long run, the impulses of the teen brain are what help teens leave their parents’ care and live their own life succ essfully.27.According to Paragraph 2, what have the scientists discovered now?A.A changing brain helps follow the rules.B.Our brains finish upgrading by age of twelve.C.Our brains are fully developed by the age of six.D.A developing brain can cause unpredictable behaviors.28.The writer probably agrees that .A.teenagers should learn from their bad decisionsB.many teenagers are able to change their behaviorsC.the way the teen brain works makes them less afraidD.the impulses of a teenage brain should be controlled29.What can we learn from the passage?A.The teen brain makes risks less exciting.B.The impulse of teen brain can benefit teenagers.C.Teenagers with more friends are more successful.D.Teenagers make wrong decisions because of their brain.DIt is quite obvious that there are serious differences in sleep patterns ( 模式) in different parts of the world, and that sleep patterns have also changed over time. Traditions, cultural values and local conditions and environments all have an effect on sleep practices and attitudes.One main cause of these differences is the widespread use of man-made light, which has led to big changes in sleep patterns in the industrialized world. It is thought that today we sleep at least an hour less each night than was just a century ago, and probably several hours less than before industrialization and electricity. According to some studies, man-made lighting has encouraged people to go to bed later and have monophasic sleep, rather than polyphasic sleep(多阶段睡眠) which is the more broken-up sleep patterns.During the long nights of the winter months, our prehistoric ancestors may have broken sleep up into two or more parts, separated by an hour or two of quiet restfulness. In nomadic(游牧的) societies, even today, it is more common for people to have this kind of polyphasic sleep, sleeping on and off throughout the day or night, depending on what is happening.Even within the developed world, there are considerable differences in sleep patterns. A study carried out in ten countries in 2002 showed some of these regional (地区的) differences. For example, while the general time the study participants slept was about 7.5 hours a night, the results from different countries differed from 6 hours 53 minutes in Japan to 8 hours 24 minutes in Portugal. Over 42% of Brazilians took regular afternoon naps (午睡), compared to only 12% of Japanese people.A daytime short sleep or nap is commonplace among adults in many Mediterranean countries. Spain, in particular, has raised the nap almost to the level of an art form, although, in the busy modern world, it is less ubiquitous than it once was. Naps are also common in partsof Africa and China.It is clear, then, that there are cultural and historical differences in the amount of sleep we get and the way we get it. Yet one thing is for sure: the need for sufficient sleep, however we may define this, is universal and unchanging.30.The second paragraph is mainly about .A.people sleep much less today than a century agoB.man-made lighting has influenced sleep patternsC.man-made lighting was introduced into our worldD.people were encouraged to have polyphasic sleep31.We can learn from the study in 2002 that .A.people in Portugal slept less than people in JapanB.more than half of Brazilians had sleep problemsC.there were regional differences in sleep patternsD.there were historical reasons for sleep problems32.The word “ubiquitous” in Paragraph 5 probably means .A. commonB. specialC. strangeD. important33.Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?A.Nap in different periods.B.Sleep in different cultures.C.Unchanging sleep attitudes.D.Improving our sleep patterns.四、阅读短文，根据短文内容回答问题。

2019年北京初三英语二模分类汇编--阅读理解C、D篇1.2019北京西城区初三二模CResearch has already suggested that opening a book may help improve brain function and reduce stress.Now,a team led by Joanna Sikora of theAustralian National University is looking into thebenefits of growing up around a book-filledenvironment;the researchers’new study suggests thathomes with libraries can arm children with skills thatlast well into adulthood.The study looked at data from160,000adults from 31countries,including the United States,Australia,Turkey and Chile. Participants(参与者)filled out surveys with the Programme for the International Assessment of Competencies,which measures proficiency(水平)in three areas:literacy(读写能力),numeracy and information communication technology.People,25to65years old,were asked to tell how many books were in their house when they were16years old.The research team was interested in this question because home library size can be a good sign of“book-oriented socialization”.Participants were able to choose from a given range of books that included everything from“10or less”to“more than500”.The surveys,which were taken between2011and2015,showed that the average(平均的)number of books in participants’childhood homes was115, but that number varied widely from country to country.The average library size in Norway was212books,for example;in Turkey,it was27.In all, however,it seemed that more books in the home was linked to higher proficiency in the areas tested by the survey.The effects were most marked when it came to literacy.Growing up with few books in the home resulted in below average literacy levels.Being surrounded by80books raised the levels to average,and literacy continued to improve until libraries reached about350books,at which point the literacy rates leveled off.The researchers saw similar things when it came to numeracy;the effects were not as pronounced with information communication technology tests,but skills did improve with increased numbers of books.So,what does the new study tell us?Take,for example,an adult who grew up with hardly any books in the home,but went on to get a university degree compared to an adult who grew up with a large home library,but only had nine years of schooling.The study found that both of their literacy levels were almost the same.“So,literacy-wise,bookish childhood makes up for a good deal of educational advantage,”the study authors write.Further research is needed to decide exactly why exposure to(沉浸在) books in childhood encourages valuable skills later in life,but the study offers further evidence to suggest that reading has a powerful effect on the mind.And so home library size might be important because,as the researchers note,“children emulate(模仿)parents who read.”27.The second paragraph is mainly about______.A.what the study found outB.how the study was carried outC.who were invited to the researchD.why the researchers did the study28.The phrase“leveled off”in Paragraph4probably means“______”.A.backed to averageB.started fallingC.continued to growD.stopped rising29.The example in Paragraph5shows______.A.the disadvantage of having little school educationB.the effect of having a home library in childhoodC.the necessity of raising people’s literacy levelD.the importance of getting a university degree30.What can we learn from the passage?A.The study explained why bookish childhood encouraged valuable skills.B.Adults benefit more from a home library than children.C.Home library size has little to do with numeracy level.D.Parents who love reading benefit children a lot.DRobotic PetsI am going to predict how people are going to be withfuture technology in their life.I think robotic pets are goingto be increasingly popular as the technology develops.At least I am going to build what I think is a strong case for this prediction.From a neurological point of view,I do not see anything in the way to people bonding(纽带)fully with robotic pets.The human brain can attach (赋予)emotions to things and respond to emotional signaling.Being alive is simply not required.From how objects move,our brains infer that they are able to act with their own will and purpose.If they move in a way that cannot be explained simply as passive(被动的)movement,then they must be moving on their own.Therefore,they can connect to the emotional centers in our brains.We either fear them,or love them,or hunger for them,or whatever.We can respond emotionally with cartoon creatures,with animals, and yes,even with robots.Our brains treat things that act alive as if they are alive—no different.One of the opposite points that people often bring up is that they love the way their pets behave,not just look.This gets to AI,which has been developing at a fast pace.We have AI that can beat world masters in chess and go.I have no doubt we can build AI to mimic(模仿)the behavior of dogs and cats,if not now then probably within a generation.So we will have no problem fully emotionally bonding with a robotic pet. But this doesn’t mean we would prefer such a pet.One argument against robotic pets is that they will be expensive compared to a live pet—but this is likely not to be true forever.Living pets need to be fed,and they need at least basic medical care,and they may need to be boarded at times.Also,people spend hundreds of dollars on pets,or thousands of dollars on pure bred species.Robotic pets will finally cost less in total than biological ones.But let’s get to the real reason people will prefer robotic pets at last.The possibilities for building in useful technology are endless.An advanced robotic pet could also serve as a defensive and alarm system.You could recharge your cell phone off their batteries.They could be a walking cell phone.They would be excellent companions for the elder,affording them more independence for longer.This in itself would be a huge cost saving—anything that keeps people out of a nursing home is cost effective.Imagination is really the only limitation,once you have the basics of a working robot.When the technology crosses a certain limit,this will be a thing.Future generations may consider keeping a living animal in your home as primitive(原始的)and cruel.They may have a point.31.Why can we bond fully with robotic pets?A.They can respond to our reactions.B.They can move actively and freely.C.Our brains can treat things differently.D.Our brains can attach emotions to them.32.According to the passage,we know that______.A.robotic pets will be cost effective in the futureB.present AI can mimic all the behaviors of live petsC.the elder prefer to have robotic pets as companionsD.the young think it primitive and cruel to keep live pets33.The writer probably agrees that______.A.live pets will serve us betterB.it is easier to keep live pets at homeC.technology ensures robotic pets a bright futureD.imagination limits the development of robotic pets2.2019北京丰台区初三二模CThe Palace Museum has always been a must-see for Chinese and foreign tourists,which is the cultural treasure of China.Since 2018,more than 80percent of the Forbidden City has been opened to the public and the number of tourists increased rapidly andreached to 1.7million.In recent years,the Palace Museum has drawn more and more people’s attention by its fresh new events.From new media tools to the creative cultural products,from grand activities to attractive TV shows,the Palace Museum has achieved amazing success.To keep pace with the times,the old palace is updating (更新)in many fashionable ways.Since 2014,to deliver the image of ―A Warm Forbidden City to the public,new media tools of the Palace Museum have changed a lot.Its Weibo keeps showing the palace’s charm (魅力)by posting its beautiful photos of four seasons and lovely cats.From the coldness of history to the style of common touch,the image undoubtedly won more favors.Museum–themed products,such as tapes,fans,notebooks and lipsticks,are designed in fashionable ways.They often cause a buzz on Chinese social networks.The sales approached (接近)CNY 1.5billion in 2017.―These creations provide a new view for understanding the palace and traditional culture,said a user on Weibo.The increased income,without raising the ticket price,also made it possible for the Palace Museum to hold 60,000educational activities in 2018.The light festival is another idea.It was the first time the Palace Museum was lit up at night and opened to the public for the Lantern Festival.The light show,which provided audiencewith full sensory (感官的)experiences,has wowed the crowd.Therefore,people have a new choice tocelebrate the Lantern Festival besides watching the Gala Show on TV at home.For those who have been to the museum before,a TV show about the Forbidden City evokes (唤起)their interests in visiting it again.As an audience said,―Shang Xin Le Gu Gong makes me realize that there are always unknown areas to explore in the Forbidden City.In another TV show,The Nation’s Greatest Treasures,nine leading museums come together to introduce the treasures they look after.This has further raised people’s interests in more museums.These TV shows have brought an instant cultural heat and greatly increased the number of visitors in these museums.Nation stays alive when its culture stays alive.Through these ways,the Palace Museum and other museums not only

mind-wandering,enjoying the state of having nothing to do,or just standing and staring?Did you dream to get good grades and devote yourself to the tasks for a few days,however,your dream fell to zero as a TV play attracted you some day?Do we need to have a dream?The founder of Wal-Mart,Sam Walton, says high expectation is the key to everything.The important thing in life is to have a great aim and the determination to achieve it,J.W.Goethe,the famous German poet and dramatist says.Successful people suggest that those who believe in the beauty of their dreams tend to have more self-motivation (自我激励)to keep on trying and enjoying the beauty of life.Thomas Edison dreamed to light the world by the power of electricity. He tried over2,000different materials before he was able to create a market light bulb.It’s hard for many of us to imagine spending so much time and energy in exploring a possibility,which is most likely to come to a dead end but for Edison,who sticked to his dream,it was just an enjoyable process.As Edison says,the most certain way to succeed is always to try just one more time.Helena,a17-year-old girl,dreamed to build the magnificent sculpture (雕塑)in the world.She devoted herself to observing faces around her and making sculptures.She was woken up by her dream every morning rather than her alarm clock.She said she became passionate(有热情的)out of her dream,which kept her going through any difficulties and found pleasure in it.You can benefit a lot from your dream,but do you know the behavior that is necessary to fulfill your dream?You have a dream and you truthfully want good grades.However,you can’t help playing on the smart phone and let go your homework.Or you rush through it so that you can get back to the smart phone.This is the case when the present-desire to play on your smart phone beats the will to reach the future goal,which is called immediate gratification.If you always behave like this,you may lose the chance to meet with your dream.Your dream can inspire you.It can give you motivation to work hard.It helps you to focus on a path so that you are moving forward.Meanwhile,you need to set a long-term goa l and work for it.The key to dream is concentrating on small wins,which gradually lead to genuine confidence.

Nowadays,with children(and the parents,too)spending more time texting, watching movies and television,playing video games,and listening to music, when will the family find time to bond(培养感情)and create lasting memories together?Far too often we don’t pay more attention to making time for members of our own family.By the end of a long day at work or school,members of the family want to relax.And now that technology use is widespread across the country,normally our“relaxing”is also known as spending time on smart phones.Not only is the amount of family time affected(影响)by technology, but also the quality.Technology can affect the quality in different ways.For example,family members can be distracted(使分心)by their phones while trying to play a board game together,which wouldn't have happened if the phone didn’t exist in the first place.If“family time”means everyone sitting in the same room while playing online,what value is there?Personal interaction is key to time well spent with loved ones.Families don’t even need to have something to do while together.If they simply ask each other how their day is and play a simple game together,family bonds will get better.When technology becomes a focus,quality(有质量的)time for families goes down,which in turn affects everyone’s ck of family interaction causes the family’s unity to weaken,and each of the family will be influenced in different ways.Children are more likely to develop unhealthy habits when they fail to interact with their parents.Meanwhile,parents who put work before family or pay less attention to their children’s growth are more likely to face bad parent-child relationship.67percent of American teens say they want to spend more time with their parents,which is rather sad. Therefore,this passage is meant to show how technology has negatively influenced families.27.According to Paragraph3,we can know that technology__________.A.makes us put work before familyB.affects the quality of family timeC.brings us convenience and happinessD.affects the family time in the same way28.What’s Paragraph4mainly about?A.Simple games are helpful for family bonds.B.Families don’t need to do anything together.C.Personal interaction is important for family time.D.Staying in the same room is necessary for family.29.What’s the writer’s attitude towards the technology influence?A.Puzzled.B.Worried.C.Surprised.D.Satisfied.DWhen I was in school,our classes were always divided into smaller groups for reading guidance.These reading groups were named after animals. The high-achieving readers were known as the birds,and the kids with the most difficulty were the mice.I was a bird,and my best friend Bobby was amouse.I can still remember how uncomfortable itwas to hear Bobby read sentences out and hecould only read several words in the sentence.This is how we usually think of a reading“problem”—the inability to decode symbols(解码)and change them into spoken language.Kids with this problem are hard to miss.But there may be many other kids in the classroom who are also poor readers,but in a very different way that’s often invisible.These kids read correctly and fluently from the page—they might even be birds—but they don’t understand most words from their mouths.Charles Hulme and his team of York University have been exploring this hidden reading problem,and they’ve come to believe that it may be at its heart a spoken language problem.In one study,they found8-and9-year-old children who had reading comprehension(理解)problems.Then,some got help in reading and understanding written text,and others got only help with spoken language and still others got a mix of both.They all got90minutes of help every week for20weeks,after which their skills were tested.They were also tested again almost a year later,to see if any improvements existed.All three groups showed improvements in comprehension soon after the training,but those trained only in spoken language showed great improvements into the following year—much more than the others.What’s more,the improvements from the spoken language training and the less improvements from a combined(融合的)way appeared to come from improvements in vocabulary.In other words,the spoken language training seems to have resulted in a generalized improvement in the kids’ability to understand language.Reading comprehension is important for success in life,more than ever in history.Reading difficulties create educational difficulties,which in turn lead to social and economic disadvantage,including joblessness.Kids won’t be asked to read out loud in the real world,but they will be expected to know what they’ve read.30.__________are called“mice"in the writer’s class.A.Students who like animalsB.Students who have good scoresC.Students who are in small groupsD.Students who do worst in reading31.What does the underlined word“invisible”probably mean?A.Cannot be tried.B.Cannot be seen.C.Cannot be hidden.D.Cannot be taught.32.What does the result of Charles Hulme’s research tell us?A.Scientists should observe long-term influence.B.A hidden reading disability have been explored.C.Reading difficulties create educational difficulties.D.Speaking training improves comprehensive ability.33.Which is the best title for the passage?A.Is language training meaningful?B.Is language training easy or not?C.Is reading comprehension a hard problem?D.Is reading comprehension a hidden disability?4.2019北京门头沟区初三二模CIs It Better to Read Books or Listen to Them?We often think how fast we learn something depends on how smart we are.If your brain is taking in material quickly,you’re clever;if not,well,thatdoesn’t say great things about your IQ.But scienceshows context (上下文)and technique (技术)actually play a big role in how fast we learn,and even small changes –like the way you use to read –can make a big difference.Audio (音频的)books have plenty of advantages:you can enjoy them anywhere,even in the car,and notprinting books saves trees.Poor readers also often find them more interesting.But according to the latest research,if your goal isn’t to pass the time in traffic,but instead to learn something difficult,you should choose a physical book.In a recent opinion piece in the New York Times,psychology (心理学)professor Daniel T.Willingham mentioned a 2010study where 48students either read or listened to an article about child psychology.Although the students spent the same amount of time with their material and did about the same number of distracting (分散注意力)activities while they absorbed the information,they scored very differently on a 10-item quiz later.Generally,the readers scored 81percent but while the listeners scored 59percent.Why does listening vs reading material have such a great effect on learning?Willingham explains that first,most of us read more slowly than we listen (especially when pausing and rereading),and when you’re trying to absorb new information,slower seems to be better.“About 10to 15percent of eye movements during reading are actually regressive –meaning the eyes aregoing back and re-checking,”he explains to TIME.“This happens very quickly…”Second,books offer visual cues (可视线索)that help our brains organize and understand new information.Things like chapter breaks,subheadings,and lists help us in making sense of the material and understanding how it fits together.You lose all that when you go the audio way.The bottom line is simple:Don’t feel shame about passing your time in traffic with an audio book.However,be aware of audio’s limitations when it comes to studying,and seriously consider choosing good old-fashioned reading instead.27.According to the writer,you should choose to read a book to ______.A.take in the information B.pass the time in traffic C.learn something difficult anize new information 28.A “physical book”in Paragraph 2probably means “______”.A.an audio book B.a book about physics C.a book about computer D.a book made of paper or cloth 29.What can we learn from the passage?A.To read a book is better than to listen to it.B.Readers are cleverer than listeners.C.Reading books is a good way to pass time.D.How fast we learn depends on how smart we are.DThe UK should start producing lab-grown meat to help solve the world’s food crisis(危机),according to a research group.A report by the Adam Smith Institute says meat made in a laboratory is better for the environment and would be cheaper than meat produced from farm animals.Need for meat around the world is expected to increase by70%by the year2050.So could people be eating lab-grown meat in the future?Usually animals like cows are killed to produce the meat that people eat,but scientists have found a way to make meat in a laboratory without killing any animals.Animals are made up of cells(细胞).Scientists worked out how to take cells from an animal,like a cow,and multiply(繁殖)them in a dish.In the end from one tiny cell,tens of billions of cells can be grown.These join together to form meat.In2013,the first hamburger grown this way was eaten in London.It took a year to produce and cost over£200,000to make.Dr Mark Post,who created the world’s first hamburger from meat grown in a lab,told the BBC it “tastes exactly the same as the meat we know”.When two food critics(评论家)tried the burger in2013,one said it was“close to meat”and another said it tasted like a real hamburger.It’s not just beef that is being created; companies are also working on other meat like turkey and chicken.The Adam Smith Institute says moving away from the present way meat is produced would help reduce greenhouse emissions(排放)by up to96% and free up99%of the land used in farming worldwide.They also think it will reduce chances of food poisoning(中毒)because the meat is grown under such controlled conditions.Jamie Hollywood from the Adam Smith Institute also told the BBC lab-grown meat could be a lot cheaper.He says the price has gone down in five years from£200,000to£8,so in the future it could be even less.30.The main idea of Paragraph3is______.A.what lab-grown meat isB.how lab-grown meat is madeC.what lab-grown meat tastes likeD.when people can eat lab-grown meat31.The writer mentions two food critics in Paragraph4to show that______.b-grown meat is cheaperB.chicken meat can be made in the labb-grown meat tastes similar to animal meatD.English people first tasted lab-grown meat32.The writer probably agrees that______.b-grown meat will cause a lot of problemsb-grown meat tastes better than animal meatC.making lab-grown meat will cost too much moneyb-grown meat can help solve the world’s food crisis33.Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?A.Could lab-grown meat be the future of food?B.What does lab-grown meat taste like?C.When could people eat lab-grown meat?D.What is lab-grown meat and how is it made?5.2019北京房山区初三二模CEnvyIt's a familiar feeling.Your friend has made the team for Saturday's big game,and you take certain pleasure in telling him you can't he there to watch him play.You smile,but that voice in you asks,why him and not you?Envy is an uncontrollable emotion that can hurt our relationships.Envy is a fault that we like to keep secret.It raises its ugly head when we focus on what we want but don't own now,or we may even wish for and take pleasure in someone losing it.Feelings of unfairness are part of being human,but when you focus on them,you can never get out of your dark emotions.And that makes you feel bad.So is there a solution?Here are some strategies you can use when you find yourself feel envious:Don't fight with your feelings.When you fight with your feelings,they will fight back.So just accept,"I feel envious."Train yourself to celebrate others'success.Changing your behavior is usually the best way to change your thoughts,feelings and aim for real pleasure in the achievements and good fortune of others.When someone in your life experiences some kind of success,send them an email or a card. Cheer on your friend when he scores that goal.Then go out and do something special,and make you wonderfully proud of yourself.Make peace with yourself,accept the gifts which make you special.Well, why not turn envy on its head,and make it become the encouragement you need for self-improvement?The best thing against envy is not to compete where you can't shine,but to do your best where you can.Then find out exactly the situations and qualities in others that start your envy.Is it someone's singing voice,their grades,or their new shoes?Envy shows us the things we'd like to have,so make a plan to earn what's important to you.Start a training program.Sign up for a night class.Give up a treat or two,and startTry some of these tips when you feel envious next tune.27.The writer gives an example in paragraph1to.A.explain the reasonB.introduce charactersC.lead in the topicD.list sonic problems28.The second paragraph is mainly about.A.the difference between envy and encouragementB.the description of emotion about envyC.the suggestions about dealing with envyD.the influence of envy on health29.What can we learn from the passage?A.We should fight with envy directly.B.We should celebrate others’envy feeling.C.We can change envy into encouragement.D.We can start a training course about envyDAs summer comes near,manychildren are really happy to forget aboutschool for a few months.The summervacation is the best time for students.Theycan go outdoors and have fun.They can goto big cities to go sightseeing,or go to thecountryside to enjoy the beauty of nature.However,studies have found thatchildren forget between one and three months'worth of school learningduring the summer months.Spelling and math abilities are seriouslyinfluenced because of the long vacation,while reading is not reallyinfluenced by the time off.The most probable reason for this is that mostchildren usually read at least outside of the classroom,whether newspapers,magazines,books,or video game guides.However,their math and spellingskills only get exercised in the school setting.The first summer vacation appeared because the farm children have timeoff to help work in the fields in the high growing season,but this reason is nolonger valid since fewer kids actually work on farms today.Some cities inthe United States,such as Los Angeles.Have moved to a year-round schoolcalendar,which will bring less influence in their studies.Most cities still usethe normal nine and a half-month calendars.To improve skills and to have agood level of preparation,experts suggested trips to museums,summercamps,and visits to libraries to keep kids active and interested the wholesummer.There are other educational systems that provide vacations while stillkeeping students'skills in a high level.For example,in Japan students attendclass for seven weeks continuously,followed by two weeks of vacation.Thiscontinues go through all the year.In Italy,students attend class six days perweek,but finish at1:30p.m.each day,so that school does not manage theirlife the way that it does in America.Educational experts fear that the three-month summer vacation stops thecontinuity of learning.Just as students get used to new ways in reading,writing,or critical thinking skills,then the summer vacation comes,they shutdown for a long period.When they go back to school after the vacation,theytake up to two months to return to their previous level of understanding.Andso the debate continues:whether to continue the present vacations or to seekchanges.30.The students'abilities of the spelling and math are influenced in thesummer vacation because they.A.take the summer vacation too seriouslyB.do little work of math or spellingC.don't like spelling and mathD.have to help work in the fields31.What can we learn from the passage?A.Students may keep reading in summer vacations.B.The United States has stopped summer vacations.C.The summer vacations have no influence on students'skills.D.Now most children still work on farm in summer vacations.32.What does the underlined word"valid"in the second paragraph probablymean?A.acceptableB.aimlessC.imaginableD.valueless33.What is the best title for the passage?A.Do we need new Educational Systems?B.Do summer vacations confuse students?C.Should summer vacations be changed or not?D.Should students improve ability in vacations?。

"I expect you to take care of it."I had never been left alone on our farm, but I knew that I could deal with just about anything that might come up. I was ready to 1 that to my dad.As soon as my dad left on his trip, I headed out to check on our cows in the barn （⾕仓）.I saw Loretta, my dad's favourite cow, eating apples.Just after I left the barn, I heard a sound I'd never heard before.

When weeat or drink sugary foods, the sugar enters our blood and influences parts of our brain that make us feel good. Then the good feeling goes away, leaving us wanting more. All tasty foods do this, but sugar has a particularly strong effect. In this way, it is in fact addictive, and doctors suggest we all cut down on it."It seems like every time I study an illness, I find my way back to sugar, " says scientist Richard Johnson. One-third of adults worldwide have high blood pressure （⾎压）, and up to 347 million have diabetes （糖尿病）. Why? "Sugar, we believe, is one of the reasons, if not the main reason, " says Johnson.Our bodies are designed to survive on very little sugar. Early humans often had very little food, so our bodies learned to keep sugar as fat. In this way, we had energy stored for when there was no food. But today, most people have more than enough. So the very thing that once saved us may now be killing us.So what is the solution? It's obvious that we need to eat less sugar. The trouble is, in today's world, it's extremely difficult to avoid. From breakfast cereals to after-dinner desserts, our foods are increasingly filled with it. Some manufacturers （制造商）even use sugar to replace taste in foods that are advertised as low in fat. This may make the food appear as healthier, but large amounts of sugar are often added.But there are those who are fighting back against sugar. Many schools are offering more fruit instead of deserts. Other schools are building facilities for students to do exercise. The battle has not yet been lost.Why is sugar addictive?A.B.C.D.A.We like candy too much. B.It gives us needed energy.C.It is in so many foods and drinks.D.We get used to eating it at school.（2）A.Ways to avoid sugar. B.Our addiction to sugar.C.Illnesses caused by sugar.D.Good sugar and bad sugar.（3）It makes us feel good and want more of it.It has a strong effect on our blood.Tasty foods are full of sugar.There is sugar in medicine.According to the passage, why is it so hard to avoid sugar?What is the passage mainly about?16.The teenager BrainParents, teachers, and others who deal closely with teenagers know how difficult the adolescent （⻘少年的） years can be. This was thought to be due to the "foolishness of youth."Now, brain-imaging technology allows scientists to study the physical development of the brain in more details than ever before. Their discoveries have led a new theory of why teens act this way.Recently, scientists have discovered that though our brains are almost at their full size by the age of six, they are far from fully developed. Only during adolescence do our brains truly "grow up." During this time, they go through great changes, like a computer system being upgraded. This "upgrade" was once thought to be finished by about age 12. Now scientists have found that our brains continue to change until age 25. Such changes make us better at balancing impulse （冲动） with following rules. But a still-developing brain does this clumsily （笨拙地）. The result, scientists believe, is the unpredictable behavior seen in teenagers.The studies show that teens are more likely to take risks. Luckily, the news isn't all bad. As brain scientist B. J. Casey points out, the teen brain inspires such behavior in order to help teens prepare for adult life.One way the brain does this is by changing the way teens measure risk and reward （回报）. Researchers have found that when teens think about rewards, their brains release more of the chemicals that create pleasure. Researchers believe this makes the rewards seem more important than the risks, and makes teens feel the excitement of new experience.A.B.C.D.（1）A.B.C.D.（2）A.B.C.D.（3）Research into the structure of the teen brain have also found that it makes social connection seem especially rewarding. As such, teens have a strong need to meet new people.Because it is still developing, a teen brain can change to deal with new situations. So it connects social rewards with even more pleasure. In this way, the brain encouraged teens to have a wide circle of friends, which is believed to make them more successful in life.Unluckily, this need for greater rewards can sometimes lead teens to make bad decisions.However, it also means that teens are more likely, and less afraid, to try new things or to be independent. And in the long run, the impulses of the teen brain are what help teens leave their parents' care and live their own life successfully.According to Paragraph 2, what have the scientists discovered now?A changing brain helps follow the rules.Our brains finish upgrading by age of twelve.Our brains are fully developed by the age of six.A developing brain can cause unpredictable behaviors.The writer probably agree that .teenagers should learn from their bad decisionsmany teenagers are able to change their behaviorsthe way the teen brain works makes them less afraidthe impulses of a teenager brain should be controlledWhat can we learn from the passage?The teen brain makes risks less exciting.The impulse of teen brain can benefit teenagers.Teenagers with more friends are more successful.Teenagers make wrong decisions because of their brain.17.It is quite obvious that there are serious differences in sleep patterns （模式）in differentparts of the world, and that sleep patterns have also changed over time. Traditions, cultural values and local conditions and environments all have an effect on sleep practices and attitudes.One main cause of these differences is the widespread use of man-made light, which has led to big changes in sleep patterns in the industrialized world. It is thought that today we sleep at least an hour less each night than was just a century ago, and probably several hours less than before industrialization and electricity. According to some studies, man-made lighting has encouraged people to go to bed later and have monophasic sleep, rather than polyphasic sleep （多阶段睡眠）which is the more broken-up sleep patterns.A.B.C.D.（1）A.B.C.D.（2）mon B.special C.strange D.important（3）A.Nap in different periods. B.Sleep in different cultures.C.Unchanging sleep attitudes.D.Improving our sleep patterns.（4）During the long nights of the winter months, our prehistoric ancestors may have broken sleep up into two or more parts, separated by an hour or two of quiet restfulness. In nomadic （游牧的）societies, even today, it is more common for people to have this kind of polyphasic sleep, sleeping on and off throughout the day or night, depending on what is happening.Even within the developed world, there are considerable differences in sleep patterns. A study carried out in ten countries in 2002 showed some of these regional （地区的）differences. For example, while the general time the study participants slept was about 7.5 hours a night, the results from different countries differed from 6 hours 53 minutes in Japan to 8 hours 24 minutes in Portugal. Over 42% of Brazilians took regular afternoon naps （午睡）, compared to only 12% of Japanese people.A daytime short sleep or nap is commonplace among adults in many Mediterranean countries. Spain, in particular, has raised the nap almost to the level of an art form, although, in the busy modern world, it is less ubiquitous than it once was. Naps are also common in parts of Africa and China.It is clear, then, that there are cultural and historical differences in the amount of sleep we get and the way we get it. Yet one thing is for sure: the need for sufficient sleep, however we may define this, is universal and unchanging.The second paragraph is mainly about .people sleep much less today than a century agoman-made lighting has influenced sleep patternsman-made lighting was introduced into our worldpeople were encouraged to have polyphasic sleepWe can learn from the study in 2002 that .people in Portugal slept less than people in Japanmore than half of Brazilians had sleep problemsthere were regional differences in sleep patternsthere were historical reasons for sleep problemsThe word "ubiquitous" in Paragraph 5 probably means .Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?四、阅读表达（每题2分，共5题，计10分）18.（1）（2）（3）（4）（5）English dictionaries which were written before 18 century had only words which were notcommon, or words which were difficult to spell. Then, in 1755, Dr. Samuel Johnson, a great English writer, wrote a famous dictionary. This dictionary contained common words as well as unusual ones. It also showed how words should be used in sentences.In 1858, a group of people who study language started to write The Oxford English Dictionary （OED ）. They wanted to list all the words of the English language. They even included words which were not used any more. They also wrote sentences that show the meanings of words. They also described the history of words, saying when words were first used in English, and which languages they came from. The OED tells us, for example, that "algebra"comes from Arabic and was first used in English in the 16 century. The dictionary took hundreds of people over seventy years to complete. It has been improved many times, as the number of words used in English has increased. The more recent dictionary gives the meanings of over one million words. It is put into twenty-one books: each one is over one thousand pages long.Although Americans speak English, they use some words that are not used in British English. For example, the season an English person calls "autumn" ，is called "fall" by an American. The first dictionary of American English was published by Noah Webster in 1828. He also decided to spell some words in a simpler way. For example, he wrote "colour" as "color" ，"centre" as "center" ，and "plough" as "plow" . These spellings are still used in America today.Since 1828, Webster's Dictionary of American English has been improved and made bigger many times.A good dictionary is a very important tool for every reader. Many modern English dictionaries are now available. They give different kinds of information. It is very important to choose the best dictionary for your needs and to use it often.Who was Dr. Samuel Johnson?When did people begin to write the OED?How long did the OED take to complete?Which word is American English, "plough" or "plow" ？How is American English different from British English?th th 五、书⾯表达（⼆选⼀）（10分）19.2019年中国北京世界园艺博览会（Beijing International Horticultural Exhibition）在北京延庆举⾏，本次活动主题为 "绿⾊⽣活，美丽家园" ，吸引很多中外游客慕名⽽来。

I’ve always been interested in exploring and finding out as much as I can abo ut different cultures. I spent a lot of time reading books all about other countries and imagining what they might be like.I’ve been lucky enough to have been able to go to a lot of countries I had dreamed about, but the one place that I always wanted to go to but never had a chance to visit was South America. So, as soon as I finished university, I knew I had to make plans to go there. I would do whatever I could to finally be able to achieve this life goal.I knew it would be difficult, because I couldn’t speak a word of Spanish, and I only had enough money to book my flight there! However, after six months of a lot of planning, hard work and trying to learn Spanish, I was ready and found myself on a flight to Uruguay with my best friend.When we arrived, I couldn’t believe I had finally made it there, somewhere I had imaginedmany times. I have to say, it wasn’t at all like I imagined it – it was even better!We went to many different countries in South America and I loved them all, but one of my favourites was Chile. Chile is amazing because it has amazing views. We went down to a place called Pucon. It was very cold there, which we were completely unprepared for. When we had been planning our trip, we thought the weather would be hot the whole time, but we couldn’t have been more wrong! After buying some warm jumpers though, we were ready to explore.In the end, I had the experience of a lifetime in South America, and I’m so happy that I worked hard in order to achieve this life goal of mine!24. What did the writer do as soon as he finished university?A. He started preparing for his trip.B. He went travelling around the world.C. He started working as a Spanish teacher.D. He bought a ticket to fly to South America.25. What was the writer wrong with about Pucon?A. The transportation.B. The food.C. The weather.D. The view.26. Why was the writer happy that he achieved this goal?A. It was an opportunity to learn a new language.B. It helped him to get ready for his future life.C. He discovered an amazing city to live in.D. He experienced a lot in South America.CMost experts agree that the Internet has totally changed how we read, think, and remember things. However, whether this transition (转变) has had a good or bad effect is still unknown.There is proof that we are reading fewer books, especially non-fiction (纪实文学). Let’s say you need medical advice or cooking instructions. Who wants to buy a 300-page book when you can find a 300-word article on the Internet about the same subject? It’s easier to read, it’s free, andit’s a lot faster. However, we are, in fact, reading a lot more overall. In addition to our offline reading, we read online throughout the day as we check our smart phones, surf the Internet, visit social media sites, and catch up on our e-mail. We also do a lot more skimming (略读) and scanning (细读) on the Internet than we do when we read physical books or magazines and newspapers.Before there was an Internet, people spent a lot of time taking notes in libraries. Today, you can just simply bookmark any page and return to it easily. However, many argue that online information sources often have mistakes and can’t be trusted, so we need to be more careful when we use them.Some think that the Internet has made it more difficult to focus on one task without getting interrupted by other things. We are continually interrupted by updates from social media websites and e-mail messages. We follow links (链接) to other websites where we find more links to other websites and jump from topic to topic. We also get a lot of junk (垃圾) – for example, news about famous people and advertisements about products we don’t want or need.Some consider what we read on the Internet to be junk, while others see many advantages in the reading we do on the Internet. Some argue that reading on the Internet is like exercise for the brain, making it easier for us to deal with interruption and think clearly as we learn to make choices that work for us. In a recent study，a lot of people agreed that our use of the Internet has actually made us smarter. If you grew up with the Internet, that’s very good news, in fact.27. How has the Internet changed the way we read?A. It offers more fictions for people to share.B. It makes people choose books over articles.C. It offers a chance for people to skim and scan.D. It makes people read more in their daily life.28. Internet has made it more difficult to focus on one task because ______.A. there are links for shopping connected with the taskB. the right information is normally hidden among junkC. various unneeded information often take their attention awayD. people need to follow different links to get the right information29. What is the writer’s main purpose in writing this passage?A. To question about the sources of online information.B. To discuss the problems of reading on the Internet.C. To state opinions on the effect of reading online.D. To stress the importance of reading non-fiction.30. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?A. Reading Skills in ShapeB. Reading Habits in TransitionC. The Disadvantages of InterruptionD. The Benefits of Reading on the InternetDEmotional IntelligenceGoleman is the writer of Emotional Intelligence, a great book about emotional intelligence (情商) or EQ is more important than IQ in one’s success in life. One of the highlights of the book is a test that Goleman calls “The Marshmallow (棉花糖) Challenge.”In this experiment, four-year-old children were separately called into a room. A kind man gave a marshmallow to each of them and said they could eat the marshmallow right away, or wait for him to come back to get two marshmallows.Some of the children covered their eyes or played games to keep their thoughts off the single marshmallow and waited for the promised double prize. Others –about a third of the group –simply watched the man leave and grabbed (抓) the marshmallow and ate it right away.Twelve years later, the same children were teenagers and they were tested again. “The emotional and social difference between the grab-the-marshmallow kids and the satisfaction-delaying kids was interesting,” Goleman says.The ones who had resisted eating the marshmallow right away were clearly more socially capable than the others. “They were less likely to bec ome nervous and disorganized when stressed; they welcomed challenges and followed them instead of giving up; they were independent and confident.”The third or so who grabbed the marshmallow were more likely to be seen as shying away from social contacts, to be easily upset by stress, to think of themselves as unworthy, or to overreact to certain situations.And all because of a single marshmallow? In fact, Goleman explains, it’s all because of a lone neuron (孤神经元) in the brain, that bypasses the neocortex –the area of the brain where reasonable decisions are made – and goes straight to the amygdala (大脑杏仁核), the emotional center of the brain. Here, the more that emotional memories involving disappointment, worry, and fear are stored in early teenage time, t he more the amygdala can “control the rest of the brain,” Goleman says, “by flooding it with strong and improper emotions.’”But if the emotions stored in the brain are those of self-managing, self-motivation and hope, then we are given a gift of an “emotional Intelligence” that serves instead of controlling us for the rest of our lives.However, amygdala takes a long time to grow, around fifteen or sixteen years, which means to Goleman that “emotional intelligence can be taught, not only in the home but pe rhaps, more importantly, in school.”31. What does the experiment “The Marshmallow Challenge” show?A. EQ is more important than IQ to one’s success.B. The development of EQ is linked to marshmallows.C. People who have higher EQ are more likely to succeed.D. People who like the marshmallow are more likely to fail.32. The word “resisted” in Paragraph 5 probably means ______.A. refusedB. agreedC. stoppedD. repeated33. Daniel Goleman probably agrees that ______.A. the grab-the-marshmallow kids are gifted with self-motivationB. emotion memories involving worry lead to better social abilitiesC. it takes fifteen or sixteen years to teach kids emotional intelligenceD. it’s also schools’ responsibility to teach kids emotional intelligence答案：21.
