2016年中考英语复习专题练习《阅读理解2》及答案2016年中考英语复习专题练习《阅读理解2》“Please take my penny,” said Maggie to old Dan, the fisherman, who sat on a bench repairing his nets. Her brother Andrew drew her back, whispering, “Maggie, he is not a beggar (乞丐)!” But Maggi e paid no attention. “Please take it,” she said again. Old Dan smiled, and took it. “Thank you, little miss,” he said, “It is kindly meant.” After that, Maggie went to the beach to gather shells. She never thought how fast the hours were passing until being tired, she sat down on a rock beside a little pool. Soon she was scared by a noise near her, and Dan?s large dog Rover jumped down from a rock! He licked her hands and made a loud noise, and then began gentlyto pull her coat. “Rover wishes me to com e away, I see,” she said, and she rose from the rock and began to go home. However, that was not so easy as she had expected. She found the places she had gone down easily very difficult to climb up, and as the tide (潮水) had been coming in for some time. She found some of the stones wet and smooth. What could poor Maggie do? She felt sad and cried, but the waves made a much louder noise than she could make, and perhaps she would have been drowned (淹死) without good wise Rover. Rover jumped upon a big stone and raised his loud bark until even the waves could not drown it. The fisherman had taken his nets to the top of the cliffs (悬崖), and was laying them out in the sun when he heard the loud barking of a dog. He felt sure that it was Rover, and Rover in trouble, so, going to the edge of the cliffs, he looked over. There he saw itall—Rover barking for help, and the little child standing beside him. “Bless her! It is the little one that was so kind-spoken to me this morning!” he cried, and he hurried to his sons? home. “Quick, boys, quick!” he said. “Get to the boat, and row fast to the bay (海湾). There is a poor child there just waiting to be drowned.” The fishermen lost no time, and soon little Maggie and Rover were rowed safely to land! Old Dan was waiting there to lift her out, and give her into her mother?s arms. “It was the penny that did it, madam,” he said to Mrs. Weston later. “I saw Rover looking at her when she put the penny so kind-like into my hand—just as if he would have said, ?Rover will be your friend now, little girl.? And I am thinking he had been looking after her all the day, for he never came near me after that.” Some years later, Rover came to Maggie?s home with a little note, in which waswritten—“Will Maggie help Rover?—his mast er is dead.” 1.

That day was the first day of a three-day national holiday marking the Tomb-Sweeping Day. Two people died in a local hospital where nine others are being treated. Another person died after treatment failed in a larger hospital in Wuxi where 22 remain hospitalized, Changzhou traffic police updated on its official microblog account at The accident happened at the Changzhou section of the highway linking Shanghai and Nanjing. It drew public attention as people began posting photos and videos on Chinese social media WeChat and Weibo. Images showed dozens of trucks, buses and cars crashed into each other. People were standing on top of the vehicles. Local police toldXinhua Press that at least two trucks, three buses and 20 cars were involved. Rainy and foggy weather caused poor visibility and slippery roads. What?s more, it was difficult for ambulances (救护车)to get to the scene of the accident because the life emergency lane was filled with vehicles, which delayed the rescue of the injured. The Ministry (部长) of Public Security told traffic departments nationwide to keep a look out for vehicles using the emergency lane occupancy. All highways in China leave the right lane as the emergency lane. Some drivers, however, pay no attention to this rule. Therefore, the police call on drivers to follow the rule strictly and offer the injured more hope of being saved. The ministry also asked the police to watch the traffic more carefully so as to quickly discover the potential (潜在的) danger. The police have decided to addelectronic monitoring instruments to catch the violations (违规者) and heavily fine drivers for it. 1．This passage is most probably taken from ________.A．a novel B．a play C．a news report D．a speech 2．Which of the following might be the cause of the traffic accident? A．It was rainy and foggy that day. B．people passing by took photos there. C．Many drivers stood on top of the vehicles.

C．The life emergency lane at the scene of the accident was full of vehicles.D．The police have decided to reduce electronic monitoring instruments after the accident. 5．According to the passage, why do the police ask drivers to be off the emergency lane?A．They want to get a chance to fine drivers heavily. B．They want to catch as many violations as possible. C．They want to leave the injured more hope of being saved. D．They have received orders from Chinese social media WeChat and Weibo. When you make a mistake, big or small, treasure i t as it’s the most valuable thing in the world. Most of us feel bad when we make mistakes, beat ourselves up about it, feel like failures, and get mad at ourselves. And that’s only natural: Most of us have been taught from a young age that mistakes are bad, and we should try to avoid mistakes. We’ve been punished when we make mistakes —at home, school and work. Maybe not always, butprobably enough times to make feeling bad about mistakes an unconscious reaction(无意识的反应). Yet without mistakes, we could not learn or grow. If you think about it that way, mistakes should be treasured and celebrated for being one of the most amazing things in the world: They make learning possible; they make growth and improvement possible. By test and error —trying things, making mistakes, and learning from those mistakes — we have found out how to make electric lights, to paint the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel, and to fly. Mistakes make walking possible for the smallest toddler, make speech possible, and make works of genius(天才) possible. Think about how we learn: We don’t just get information about something and know it at once or know how to do it. You don’t just read about painting, or writing, or computer programming, or baking, orplaying the piano, and know how to do them right away. Instead, you get information about something, from reading or from another person or from watching usually ... then you set a model in your mind ... then you test it out by trying it in the real world ... then you make mistakes ... then you correct the model based on the results of your real world experiment ... and repeat, making mistakes, learning from those mistakes, until you’ve pretty much learned how to do something. That’s how we learn as babies and toddlers, and how we learn as adults. Mistakes are how we learn to do something new —because if you succeed in something, it’s probably something you already knew how to do. Y ou haven’t really grown much from that success —at most it’s the last step on your journey, not the whole journey. Most of the journey is made up of mistakes, if it’s a good journey. So ifyou value learning, if you value growing and improving, then you should value mistakes. They are amazing things that make a world full of wonders possible. 1. According to the passage, how should we treat mistakes? A. We should try to avoid making mistakes. B. We should owe great inventions mainly to mistakes. C. We should treat mistakes as good chances to learn. D. We should make feeling bad about mistakes an unconscious reaction. 2. The underlined word “toddler” in Paragraph 6 probably means ________. A. a small child learning to walk B. a kindergarten child learning to draw C. a primary pupil learning to read D. a school teenager learning to write 3. We can learn from the passage that ________. A. most of us can really grow from success B. growing and improving are based on mistakes C. we learn to make mistakes by test and error D. we readabout something and know how to do it right away 4. The author wants to tell us ________. A. what you should do when meeting with difficulties B. where you can find your mistakes C. how you can avoid making mistakes D. why you should celebrate your mistakes My husband Mike had been working in Florida for five months．Our 9-year-old daughter Kallie missed him very much．So Kallie and I were flying to Florida to spend a week with him．The plane was full．Because we did not get our boarding passes (登机牌) until we arrived at the gate，Kallie and I could not get seats together．Kallie was nervous about the trip and had counted on me reading to her the whole way．The passengers next to me got to their seats，and I asked if they would change places with Kallie or me．They all said no．Meanwhile，a mother and her two children several rowsahead of us also met the same condition．The mother could hold her baby，but her 6-year-old son had to sit with strangers．And nobody offered to help her．At that time，I saw a group of students on our flight．The students’ leader stood up and said to the woman，“Ma’am．I think we can help you．”He spent five minutes rearranging (重排) his group so there was space for the family to sit together．A smil e came on the mother’s face．Suddenly，the man sitting next to the leader turned around to me and asked，“Would you and your daughter like our seats ?”We changed seats and being together made our trip so much better．Would that man have offered us his seat if the leader hadn’t done so for the mom and her children? I’m not sure．But I do know that kindness is contagious (传染的)，and good deeds cause more good deeds! 1．Whatproblem did the writer meet after boarding the plane?A．She didn’t get her boarding pass on time．B．She and her daughter couldn’t sit together．C．There wasn’t an empty seat left for her．D．Kallie was too excited about the trip．2．What does the underlined phrase“counted on”in Paragraph 2 mean?A．远离B．责怪C．期望D．动员3．The correct order of the following events is．a．The students’ leader rearranged his group’s seats．b．A man offered his seat to the writer．c．The mom and her kids sat together．d．The writer and her daughter got seats next to each other．A．a—c—b—d B．a—b—c—d C．b—d—a—c D．c—a—b—d 4．We can infer that from the passage．A．the writer and her son went to Florida to spend one-weekholiday B．most of the passengers liked to change seats with the writer C．another mother with two children met the same problem as the writer D．the writer was sure that the man could help her after the leader helped another mother 5．What is the author’s main purpose in writing this story?A．To criticize the coldness of some passengers．B．To compare two different kinds of people．C．To tell us that we should put children first．D．To show that good deeds lead to more good deeds Francesca picked up her son from school one afternoon．Isaac proudly showed his mother a card made out of brightly colored construction paper．“It’s for Father’s Day．“Isaac explained．The card was cut into the shape of a man’s dress shirt with a drawing of a man’s dress tie．Inside the card，Isaac had written the words“Happy Father’s Day”．Francesca wasn’tfamiliar with Father’s Day as it wasn’t celebrated in her home country．So she asked her neighbor Genny about it．Genny told her that Father’s Day，like Mother’s Day，is a holiday in the United States．It is always celebrated on the second Sunday in June．People give fathers cards or presents，go out to eat at a restaurant，or do something special that day．“It’s a day to show gratitude to your father，”Genny explained．Francesca understood，but she also felt a little bad．While Isaac’s card was made nice，Isaac’s father，Tim，never wore a dress shirt or a tie．He wore a uniform to work．On his days off，he liked to dress casually and comfortably．The most dressed-up he got was by wearing a polo shirt．Francesca had an idea．She went shopping the day before Father’s Day to get her husband a surprise．On Father’s Day morn ing，she and Isaac gave Tim a box wrapped up innice paper．“Happy Father’s Day．”Francesca and Tim shouted．When Tim unwrapped the box，he laughed．In side the box was the Father’s Day card Isaac made in schoo1．Also inside the box were a dress shirt and a tie．They were the same color as the card Isaac made．Tim，Francesca，and Isaac went next door to Genny’s house for a barbecue (户外烧烤)．Tim wore the dress shirt and tie 1．Which is the best description of Isaac’s Father’s Day card?A．When you open the card， a song about fathers plays．B．The card has a picture of Isaac and his dad fishing．C．The card is cut in the shape of a man’s dress shirt．D．The card is shaped like a golf club．2．Father’s Day is celebrated on．A．the first Sunday in June B．the first Saturday in JulyC．the second Sunday in June D．the second Sunday in July 3．Which of the following can not be done on Father’s Day?A．Give their fathers cards．B．Give their fathers presents．C．Go out to eat in restaurants．D．Only spend time with their fathers．4．Which word best describes Isaac’s father’s style?

Tobacco(烟草) is the biggest factor, causing 23% for cases in men and % in women, says the Cancer Research UK report. Next comes a lack of fresh fruit and vegetables in men?s diets, while for women it is being overweight. Lead author of the report, Professor Max Parkin, said: “Many people believe cancer is related to fate(命运) or ?in the genes(基因)?, and that it depends on luck whether they get it or not. Looking at all the evidence, it is clear that around 40% of all cancers are caused by things we mostly have the power to change.” For men, the best advice appears to be: stop smoking, eat more fruit and vegetables and cut down on how much alcohol you drink. For women, again, the best advice is to stop smoking, but also watch your weight. In total,14 lifestyle and environmental factors, such as where you live and the job you do, cause 134,000 cancers in the UK each year. Some risk factors are well founded, such as smoking?s link with lung(肺) cancer. But others are less well realized. For stomach cancer, a fifth of the risk comes from having too much salt in the diet, data suggests. Some cancers, like mouth and throat cancer, are caused almost mainly by lifestyle choices. But others, like gall bladder cancer(胆囊癌), are largely not related to lifestyle. Public Health Minister, Anne Milton, said: “By making small changes you can cut your risk of serious health problems—giving up smoking, watching you drink, getting more exercise and keeping an eye on your weight.” 1. The underlined word “it” in the second paragraph refer to ______.A. changeB. lifestyleC. cancerD. weight2. According to Professor Parkin, he thinks that ______. A. cancers are caused because of genes B. some cancers may be avoided mainly C. most cancers are caused for no reason D. men can keep an eye on their weight to avoid cancers3. According to this passage, stomach cancer can be brought on by ______.A. working overtime C. lack of exerciseB. taking in too much salt D. smoking too much 4. Which of the following can be learnt from the passage? A. Smoking is the only cause of lung cancer.B. Drinking a small amount of wine is good for health.C. Some cancers may not be caused by lifestyle choices.D. About 134,000 people die of cancer in the UK each year. On March 14, math and science lovers around the world celebrated a special day: Pi Day. Pi is equal to about , but the number goes on endlessly. It is sometimes written in Greek,π. With the help of computers, mathematicians have been able to calculate(计算) pi out to over a trillion (万亿) decimal (小数的) places, but there is still no end to the number. This makes pi puzzling, even for the most famous scientists and mathematicians. Pi Day is celebrated around the world on March 14, since how we write this date, 3/14, looks just like the number pi. For some people, the appeal(感染力) of Pi Day goes far beyond math and science. Pi shows up throughout popular culture. You can see it in movies, comics, music and more. “In modern movies, any ti me the filmmaker wants to produce a sense of mystery(神秘), often the symbol pi is used,” says David Blatner, Jewish American writer of The Joy of Pi. People also love trying to memorize the digits (数字) of pi and competing against others to see who can remember the most.Many teachers hold class contests to see how many numbers their students can memorize. The Guinness World Record for reciting the most digits of pi is held by LüChao of China, who successfully recited pi out to nearly 67,890 decimal places. Above all, Pi Day is about having fun with the number. People celebrate Pi Day by eating or throwing pie and with fun pi-related games and activities. This year, Princeton, New Jersey, held a birthday party for Albert Einstein whose birthday also falls on March 14. There was also a “Walk a Pi Event” where people walked miles together. Just like the number itself, the possibilities for Pi Day are truly endless. 1. The following about Pi Day is true EXCEPT. A. it?s on March 14 B. it?s a day just for scientists C. Pi?s Greek form is π C. not clear to the understanding D. of great help B. represent thesubject of math D. describe something mysterious B. Activities about pi in class.D. Albert Einstein?s birthday. B. Pi is equal to about A. attractive B. exciting A. represent a long number 2. What does the underlined word “puzzling” in Paragraph 2 mean? 3. In modern movies, the symbol pi is often used to _____. C. describe something boring A. Fun activities on Pi Day. C. Walk a Pi Event. When you make a mistake, big or small, cherish (珍视) it like it?s the most valuable thing in the world, because in some ways, it is. Most of us feel bad when we make mistakes, beat ourselves up about it, feel like failures, get 4. What does the last paragraph talk about? mad at ourselves. And that?s only natural. Most of us have been taught from a young age that mistakes are bad, and we should try to avoid mistakes. We?ve been blamed(责备) when we make mistakes—at home, school and work. Maybe not always, but probably enough times to make feeling bad about mistakes an unconscious (无意识的) reaction. Yet without mistakes, we could not learn or grow. If you think about it that way, mistakes should be cherished and celebrated for being one of the most amazing things in the world. They make learning possible; they make growth and improvement possible. By trial and error—trying things, making mistakes, and learning from those mistakes—we have thought about how to make electric light, to paint the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel, to fly. Mistakes make walking possible for the smallest toddler, make speech possible, and make works of talent possible. Think about how we learn: We don?t just use up information about something and know it at once or know how to do it. You don?tjust read about painting, or writing, or computer programming, or baking, or playing the piano, and know how to do them right away. Instead, you get information about something, from reading or from another person or from watching, then you build a model in your mind...then you test it out by trying it in the real world...then you make mistakes...then you make a mistake and repeat, making mistakes, learning from those mistakes, until you have pretty much learned how to do something.

You haven?t really grown much from that success—at most it?s the last step on your journey, not the whole journey. Most of the journey is made up of mistakes, if it?s a good journey.So if you cherish learning, if you cherish growing and improving, then you should cherish mistakes. They are amazing things that make a world of great brightness possible. 1. According to the passage, what is the right attitude (态度) to mistakes? A. We should try to avoid making mistakes. B. We should treat mistakes as good chances to learn. C. We should connect a great invention with lots of mistakes. D. We should make feeling bad about mistakes an unconscious reaction. 2.

This year’s *slogan is“*Breathe Easily, Sleep Well”. Its aim is to celebrate the*benefits of good and healthy sleep.Fangfang, from Liaoning, just became a high school studentlast September. She gets up at 5:30 a.m. every day and goes to bed at about midnight. Fangfang feels sleepy all the time. “I want to finish all my homework first,” she said.Sleep is like food for the brain. Enough sleep helps the body and brain grow and develop. According to the National Sleep *Foundation in the US, adults need seven to nine hours of sleep every night. For students who are 10 to 17 years old, a healthy amount is about eight to nine hours every night.But many students don’t get enough sleep because of early school start time and heavy homework. About 80 percent of middle school students don’t get enough sleep, the China Youth and Children Research Center reported. For some students, they want to sleep early, but they keep worrying about their schoolwork and can’t fall asleep quickly. For others, they may even have insomnia, and usually they have to ask the doctors for help.These sleeping problems greatly *affect people’s life. Some doctors found out that *lack of sleep for teenagers lead to poor grades. Students without enough sleep cannot pay attention in class or do well in sports. Also, they often become anxious easily.Luckily, with good sleep habits, it is easier to fall asleep. Some of these good habits include *avoiding drinks that make people excited late in the day, going to sleep at the same time every night, and sleeping in a comfortable place that is dark, quiet, and neither too warm nor too cold.More tips to get a good night’s sleep:✧Exercising during the day. You’d better do sports three hours before going to bed.✧Don’t eat big meals before bedtime. Drink a warm glass of milk.✧If you stay awake worrying about things, try making a list of things that you need to do before you go to bed.36.

What time was it? I climbed out of bed and went downstairs to the kitchen. The kitchen clock said 8:30—I was late! My parents were away. My aunt had gone to work without checking if I was up. The school bus went at 8:00 . I had missed it. I rang my friend Tony on his mobile phone.“Tell the teacher I’ll be in as soon as I can !”I said.“Come on your rollerblades，” Tony said.“It will be faster than the bus.”I washed and dressed in a hurry. I grabbed an apple to eat on the way. That was my breakfast! Then I put on my rollerblades and set off for school. It took half an hour to get to the school. I took all the shortcuts I knew.

阅读理解【中考先睹为快】Passage A（来自2016中考模拟训练）阅读下列短文，从每小题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出一个最佳选项。
Most people around the world are right-handed. This also seems to be true in history. In 1799, scientists studied works of art made at different times from 1,500 B.C. to the 1950s. Most of the people shown in these works are right-handed, so the scientists guessed that right-handedness has always been common through history. Today, only about 10% to 15% of the world’s population is left-handed.Why are there more right-handed people than left-handed ones? Scientists now know that a person’s two hands each have their own jobs. For most people, the hand is used to find things or hold things. The right hand is used to work with things. This is because of the different work of the two sides of the brain. The right side of the brain, which makes a person’s hands and eyes work together, controls the left hand. The left-side of the brain, which controls the right hand, is the centre for thinking and doing problems. These findings show that more artists should beleft-handed, and studies have found that left-handedness is twice as common among artists as among people in other jobs.No one really knows what makes a person become right-handed instead of left-handed. Scientists have found that almost 40% of the people become left-handed because theirso scientists guess there must be another reason why people become left-handed. One idea is that people usually get right-handed from their parents. If a person does not receive the gene(基因) for right-handedness, he/ she may become eitherright-handed or left-handed according to the chance and the people they work or live with.Though right-handedness is more common than left-handedness, people no longer think left-handed people are strange or unu sual. A long time ago, left-handedchildren were made to use their right hands like other children, but today they don’t have to.34. How many people in the world are left-handed now?A. Less than one sixth.B. More than a half.C. About 40%.D. The passage doesn’t tell us.in this passage?A. knockedB. changedC. brokeD. harmed36. According to the passage, which of the following is NOT true?A. No one really knows what makes a person become right-handed.B. Left-handedness is cleverer than right-handedness.C. Today children are not made to use their right hands only.D. Scientists think there must be some reason why people become left-handed.37. The best title for this passage is _______.A. Scientists’ New InventionsB. Left-handed PeopleC. Which HandD. Different Brains, Different Hands参考答案34—37、ADBCPassage B-“老”字趣谈每个国家都有各自的文化习惯，而这种文化上的差异往往会引起一定的误会，不过只要熟悉对方的风俗习惯做到入乡随俗，一切就OK啦！When my family moved to America in 2010 from a small village in Guangdong, China, we brought not only our luggage, but also our village rules, customs and culture. One of the rules is that young people should always respect(尊敬) elders. Unluckily, this rule led to my very first embarrassment in the United States.I had a part-time job as a waiter in a Chinese restaurant. One time, when I was serving food to a middle-aged couple, the wife asked me how the food could be served so quickly. I told her that I had made sure they got their food quickly because I always respect the elderly. As soon as I said that, her face showed great displeasure. My manager, who happened to hear what I said, took me aside and gave me a long lecture about how sensitive(敏感) Americans are and how they dislike the description “old”. I then walked back to the table and apologized to the wife. After the couple heard my reason, they understood that the problem was caused by cultural differences, so they laughed and were no longer angry.In my village in China, people are proud of being old. Not so many people live to be seventy or eighty, and people who reach such an age have the most knowledge and experience. Young people always respect older people because they know they can learn from their rich experience.However, in the United States, people think “growing old” is a problem since “old” shows that a person is going to retire or that the body is not working well. Here many people try to keep themselves away from growing old by doing exercisesor jogging, and women put on makeup, hoping to look young. When I told the couple in the restaurant that I respect the elderly, they got angry because this caused them to feel they had failed to stay young. I had told them something they didn’t want to hear.After that, I changed the way I had been with ol der people. It is not that I don’t respect them any more; I still respect them, but now I don’t show my feelings through words.By Jack根据以上短文内容，然后从每题所给的四个选项中选择最佳选项。

In the 1920s , the airlines were just beginning. It was unusual for people to travel by air because it was expensive and dangerous. In those days, there were no flight attendants(服务) to look after the passengers. Young men ,or “stewards” helped the passengers onto the airplane and carried the passengers‟ luggage(行李)but they did not provide food and drinks. But then in 1930,a woman called Ellen Church invented the “stewardess”.Ellen Church was born in 1904 on a farm in Iowa. She was a different child. She didn‟t want to work on a farm or marry a farmer —she wanted a more adventurous(冒险的)life. Ellen studied to be a nurse at the University of Minnesota and then got a job in a hospital. For the next few years she stayed at the hospital and at the same time took flying lessons and got her pilot‟s license.Ellen was twenty-five years old when she first got in touch with Boeing Air Transport. She loved flying but she understood that airlines were a man‟s world. Although women like Emelia Earheart were becoming famous, she realized it was impossible for a woman to have a career as a pilot .But she had another idea. Most people were frightened of flying because flying was still an unreliable(不可靠的) way to travel. There were often delays(延误),many crashes and the bad weather made many passengers sick. Ellen thought nurses could take care of passengers during flights and B.A.T. agreed.The young woman from Iowa and seven other nurses became the first air stewardesses.At first pilots were unhappy because they did not want stewardesses on airplanes, but passengers loved the stewardesses. In 1940 there were a round 1000 of them working for different airlines. The early “stewardesses” had t o be under twenty-five-year-old, single and slim. When a woman joined an airline, she had to promise not to get married or have children. It was hard job and not well paid. They worked long hours and earned＄1 an hour.In the 1970s, stewardesses were unhappy in their job and airlines had to make some changes. Since the 1970s, “stewardesses” have been called flight attendants. They are well paid and work fewer hours than in the past.( )38. From the first paragraph, we know that _________.A. the word “stewardess” was made up by Ellen Churc hB. Ellen Church was the first woman who flew a planeC. Food and drinks were offered on the plane then.D. Travelling by air was very popular because of the flight attendants.( )39. From the second paragraph, we learn that ________.A. Ellen did not behave（行为）in the same way as most as other girlsB. Ellen‟s family was not rich enough to support her educationC. Ellen was fond of working as a nurse in the hospitalD. Ellen has an unhappy childhood that changed her completely( )40. Boeing Air Transport (BAT) offered Ellen the job because of ________.A. her flying experienceB. her university educationC. her nursing experienceD. her life attitudes(态度)( )41. According to the passage, in the 1940s a woman had to ________ if she wanted to be a stewardess.A. be a nurseB. be marriedC. be a motherD. be young( )42.

There’s always something deep in our soul that never dies. I moved to the small, busy town of Edison in New Jersey six years ago. It was during the second term of my fifth grade. My parents got new jobs and higher income, so they decided it was time to move from Woodbridge to a better, more educational town.In the US, it is unnecessary to take a test to get into a “good” middle or high school. You just attend the school close to where you live. So, many parents will think about the q uality (质量，品质) of the local school when they dec ide to buy a new house. My parents did the same. We finally chose Edison mainly because of the high quality of its school.In New Jersey, an area with a good school usually means a concentration of Asian people. There are about 300 students in our school. 55% are Asians and just under half of that are Chinese. There are so many Chinese people nearby that we even have our own Chinese school.Edison is an old town, just like thousands of others in the United States. However, I have treated it as my hometown. That’s where I spend much of my youth, and the memories there can’t be moved at all.31. Why did the writer’s parents move to Edison?A. Because they were born there.B. Because it was a better educational town.C. Because the writer began his fifth grade.D. Because the writer didn’t need to take a test.32. How many students are from Asia in the writer’s school?A. About 80.B. About 160.C. About 220.D. About 300.33. What does the underlined expr ession “a concentration of” mean in Paragraph 3?A. None ofB. The whole ofC. A large number ofD. A small number of参考答案31-33 BBC（来自2016中考模拟训练）阅读下列短文，从每小题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出一个最佳选项。
A new robot, Pepper, has been designed. It is considered as the world's firstwith the ability to read human emotions. Pepper looks slightly like Michelin Man. It is four-feet tall with a computer in its chest and human-like hands. Although it is not tall, Pepper is able to talk about everything from the weather to the latest events about the country. Using its functions, Pepper can react(反应) to people nearby -- making jokes, dancing and e ven singing in different languages. Pepper can understand expressions, human voice and actions, then react through computer programmes. The designer hopes to create a robot that can understand people well, then it can take action.He also hopes robots can play roles in many ways, not just work in the industry. They provide fun at the home or store. Pepper is designed to be a family robot. It is powered by love inside a family. He not only makes people laugh, but also comforts those people who are sad or lonely and encourage them when natural disasters come.Pepper will be on sale in Japan for around US$2,000 in February 2015. For now, several Peppers are shown at some stores in Tokyo for visitors. The designers want the robots to get so much knowledge that they can succeed in communicating with humans better before sale.Several thousand Peppers are going to learn at some stores. Everything they learned and got is going to be stored into the i-cloud service. So that they can share wisdom with each otherWe are sure Pepper can bring amazing changes into our lives.34. According to the passage, “Pepper” is ______.A. a kind of foodB. a computerC. a robotD. a designer35. What does the underlined word “emotions” mean?A. wordsB. feelingsC. mindsD. worries36.

Peppers can’t share wisdom with each other37. In which part of a newspaper can we probably read this passage?A. TravelB. CultureC. AdvertisementD. Technology参考答案34-37 CBCD【实战训练】BNow satellites are helping to forecast(预报) the weather. They are in space, and they can reach any part of the world. The satellites take pictures of the atmosphere (大气), because this is where the weather forms (形成). They send these pictures to the weather stations. So meteorologists(气象学家) can see the weather of any part of the world. From the pictures, the scientists can often say how the weather will change.Today, nearly five hundred weather stations in sixty countries receive satellite pictures. When they receive new pictures, the meteorologists compare them with earlier ones. Perhaps they may find that the clouds have changed during the last few hours. This may mean that the weather on the ground may soon change, too. In their next weather forecast, the meteorologist s can say this.So the weather satellites are a great help to the meteorologists. Before satellites were invented, the scientists could forecast the weather for about 24or 48 hours. Now they can make good forecasts for three or five days. Soon, perhaps, they may be able to forecast the weather for a week or more ahead (提前).1. Satellites travel __________.A. in spaceB. above spaceC. above the groundD. in the atmosphere2. Why do we use the weather satellites to take pictures of the atmosphere？Because_______.A. clouds form thereB. the weather forms thereC. the weather satellites can do it easilyD. the pictures can forecast the weather3.

Maybe we’l l soon be able to forecast the weather for _________.A. one dayB. two da ysC. five daysD. seven days or even longer5. The main idea of this passage is that satellites are now used in __________.A. taking pictures of the earthB. receiving pictures of the atmosphereC. weather forecastingD. doing other work in many ways(A)这篇阅读材料向我们介绍了气象卫星在预报天气中所发挥的重要作用。
