绵阳市2020年英语中考试题
第I卷(选择题)
第一节:阅读理解
阅读下面短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
A
Life is competitive - some kids can do something faster or better than other kids. This might not seem fair, but all people are different and how well you can do something is different to others. This means there are “winners" and “losers", and lots of people are neither winners nor losers but in-between. You can choose to be a good winner or an even better loser whether you are competing against others or yourself.
B. We want to invite him to visit our team.
C. Your heart is always the strongest part of your body.
D. Your right hand has been taken away, but you have the most powerful left hand.
A.Tom keeps saying the game is unfair when he loses.
B.Jim encourages his teammates after their team loses.
C.Anna thanks her coach for what he has done though she fails.
His perfect moves make it even harder to believe that this kid learned these skills in less than two years. Be it rainy or windy, Zhang never stops playing basketball. He has posted 13 videos of him developing basketball skills and earned almost one million likes. “Give it a try, or give it up," Zhang believed. Zhang said hisssional basketball player in the future. By the way he plays, you knowhe is serious.
To be a good winner you need to:
◆Be modest(谦虚的).
◆Thank those who helped you for their efforts.
◆Keep trying to improve your skills.
◆Aim for the next step up in whatever you are doing well.
Zhang also talked about his favorite CBA players Yi Jianlian of Guangdong and Guo Ailun of Liaoning. In fact, Yi had already noticed Zhang. Having shared his video, Yi posted on Weibo, “Your heart is always the strongest part of your body.” Yi’s former national teammate Zhu Fangyu also reposted the video, commenting (评论), “I have never seen any kid play basketball better than him. We want to invite him to visit our team.” Former CBA player Wang Jing spoke highly of his performance, “Your right hand has been taken away, but you have the most powerful left hand.”
It’s Ok to let out your negative thoughts to your best friend or parents later. And if you don’t do very well in a game try harder to learn for the next one. Improving yourself makes you a winner too.
B.Telling our team members to aim higher.
C.Thanking our team members for their efforts.
D.Putting down others to make ourselves look good.
4.Who is probably a bad sport?
D.We are always competing with others not ourselves.
2.What should a better loser do when losing?
A.Let out his anger to his parents at once.
B.Express his negative feelings in the game.
Being an even better loser
Of course it’s disappointing to lose, especially if you are close to winning. Behaving badly or angrily, name-calling and going on about things being “unfair” won’t change the final result and will only make you look like a bad sport. And no one likes bad sports either.
D.Cindy shows her congratulations to other competitors even if she fails.
5.What is the passage written for?
A.Telling us what we can learn from losing.
“Who is this kid? Help me find him! He is so cute ,” posted Curry on Weibo. Later that day, Zhang replied to Curry, “Hello, Curry! I am a big fan of yours. I love you so much because you achieved a lot although you are not one of the big guys in the NBA.
To be an even better loser you need to :
◆Behave politely, nicely and kindly.
◆Congratulate the other team.
◆Keep any negative (消极的) thoughts to yourself - at least until you are away from the game.
1.What can we learn from the first paragraph?
A.We are either losers or winners.
B.We should face winning and losing properly.
C.We can do nothing about winning and losing.
B.Offering advice on what we can do to win.
C.Encouraging us to become a winner instead of a loser
D.Giving advice on how to deal with winning and losing.
B
Zhang Jiacheng, aged 14, is a one-armed boy who recently became an online star because of a short video of him playing basketball. Now, news on the boy has reached NBA player Stephen Curry.
8. What does the underlined sentence probably mean in the last paragraph?
A. He takes Zhu Fangyu’s words seriously.
B. He hurts himself seriously in playing basketball.
Being a “good” winner
No one likes a “show off”.

It was the first time that a Chinese snowboarder had ever competed in this event at any Olympics. Su was introduced to snowboarding at the age of 4 by his parents, who were both snowboarding fans. Su fell in love with the sport the first time they took him to a ski center. Later he kept on practicing after class. To save up more time for snowboarding, he would get up at 5 am and finish his homework early.Su just saw snowboarding as a hobby in the beginning. However, on July 31, 2015 when he knew that Winter Olympics 2022 would be held in Beijing, his mind turned to professional（职业的）competition. He dreamed of joining in the Winter Olympics. And he decided to go professional.In 2018 Su became a member of China's national snowboarding team. In 2020 and 2021, he took home gold medals（奖牌）of all national competitions. In January 2021, he became the first Chinese man snowboarder to finish the Cab 1800—the most difficult snowboarding skill.Behind his success is Su's hard work. He has made full use of every chance to train more. Usually he arrived at the training center earlier than his teammates. In that way, he could practice more. He even broke several snowboardsin one week because of heavy training.After Su won his silver medal, his father Su Qun received an interview. He said that this would not be his son's last Olympics and Su would do better in the future.6. How did Su feel the first time he tried snowboarding?A. Disappointed.B. Interested.C. Worried.D.

Health.D. Science.CDo you compare yourself to other people? Perhaps your best friend receives something you really want, or you're not allowed to go to a concert but your brother or sister is. Even though comparisons are common and can sometimes be helpful, focusing（专注）on your own progress is important for your happiness.“We often compare ourselves to others who are doing better or not as well as ourselves.” says Dr. Jack. "But I suggest comparing yourself to your past self and your future self. This can make you feel proud of what you've achieved and excited about what you might do. Focusing on your own purposes is more worthwhile than always trying to come out on top."Comparing yourself to those around you is natural and we often do it without realizing it. It can help us to be clear about our achievements and to form friendships with new people who have similar interests. However, it's important to remember that nobody is perfect in real life. It's also important to take note of how the comparison is making you feel. “If you begin to feel quite low, focus on your own strengths." says Jack. In other words, you can ask yourself questions like "What can I do well in?", which can help you trust yourself.Maybe here you are wondering "What if all my friends are better than me?". Dr. White says that jealousy（妒忌）is not bad but focusing on bettering your own work can help you feel just as successful. He also mentions that learning to celebrate your friends' success can not only help to cheer your friends up but also help you feel good. It will encourage you to build each other up.11. What does the writer tell us in Paragraph1?A. We should compare with others.B. We should share things with brothers.C. We should enjoy concerts with sisters.D. We should focus on our own progress.12. Why should you compare yourself to your past self?A. To care about others.B. To change your purposes.C. To increase your excitement.D. To be proud of your achievements.13. What does the underlined phrase “your own strengths" probably mean in Paragraph 3?A. what you're good atB. what you've understoodC. what you're crazy aboutD. what you've experienced14. What does Dr. White suggest?A. Trusting your friends.B. Cheering on tiny success.C. Celebrating others' success.D. Forming a deep friendship.15. What would be the best title for the passage?A. Plan Your Own FutureB. Enjoy Your Own HappinessC. Run Your Own RaceD. Follow Your Own DreamDSnow forests make up about 30% of the world's total forest areas. These wonderful woodlands are not as famous as the Amazon rainforests but they are just as important.Snow forests are found in the far north of the world, in areas that are quite cold and usually have a lot of snowfall. They lie across parts of Canada, China, Finland, Japan, Norway, Russia, Sweden and the US. Snow forests have very cold winters that can last up to six months. But even so, they are home to many kinds of animals, including foxes, mice and wolves. In the US and Canada, as many as five billion birds from more than 300 species live in the forests in the breeding（繁殖）season.These woodlands perform an important job: helping to take in harmful gases. The gases are given off by burning coal, oil and gas, which can cause climate change. However, snow forests are facing several problems. Trees are being cut down faster and faster for their wood, which can be used for building. Some forests are being cleared to make space for new roads and houses, or to allow coal and gas industries to grow. What's worse, as the world gets warmer, Canada and Russia have seen terrible fires spread through the forests.Luckily, environmental and wildlife groups around the world are working hard to protect snow forests. This means that cutting down trees is controlled in some areas and the forests are seen as areas of special scientific interest. When wood is needed, replanting plans and careful forest management help to reduce the human influence so that the forests are managed in a way that they can survive and regrow.16. Where are snow forests mainly found?A. In South America.B. In the north of the earth.C. In the UK and Canada.D. In the south of the earth.17. What do we know about snow forests from this passage?A. They need a long time to grow up.B. They are famous just like rainforests.C. They produce best wood for building.D. They are important to many animals and birds.18. What mainly causes snow forests to be in danger?A. Heavy snowfall.B. Air pollution.C. Human activities.D. Animals' waste.19. What's the purpose of this passage?A. To call on us to protect snow forests.B. To invite people to visit snow forests.C. To compare rainforests to snow forests.D. To describe the wildlife in snow forests.20. What does the writer think of snow forests' future?A. Hopeful.B. Awful.C. Doubtful.D. Wonderful.第二部分语言知识运用（满分45分）第一节：完形填空（共15小题，每小题2分，满分30分）阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

AIt's half past seven on Monday morning: time to get ready for school. Jay Stone rolled out of bed. He did a couple of quick wake-up exercises and then he went over to a mirror and looked at himself.“Not bad, Stone, not bad,”he said to himself and smiled. Maybe he wasn't ready for Hollywood, but with his dark broad eyes and his thick brown hair, he had the looks that turned girls’heads. He moved in closer to the mirror and smiled, checking his teeth. “Perfect,”he thought, “Good enough for a toothpaste ad.”As his eyes moved down to his strong arms and chest he smiled again. The hours he spent on the playground and doing sit-ups have paid off!But suddenly, the smile froze(僵住)on his lips. His eyes moved from the upper part of his body down to his legs. His legs wereshort. Not just short, but far too short for his body. He had the upper body of a six feet boy, but because of his legs, he was much less than six feet. Sitting, he was as tall as almost anyone in his class. Standing, he had to look up at most of the boys and even many of the girls.Why didn't his legs grow with the rest of his body? At five feet six inches(英寸), he was one of the shortest boys in his class. He was the shortest in his own family, and he was even shorter than his little sister —by three inches! Where did his legs come from? He certainly didn't get them from his parents. They were both quite tall. Looking through old photos in the family album, he found the answer. It was his grandfather on his mother's side. His short legs were a gift from Grandpa Tuttle. Thanks a lot, Grandpa!1. How did Jay Stone feel about his upper body?A. Disappointed.B. Interested.C. Proud.D. Uneasy.2. How tall was Jay's little sister?A. Six feet.B. Five feet six inches.C. Five feet nine inches.D. Five feet three inches.3. Why did Jay's smile disappear suddenly?A. Because he disliked his arms.B. Because he was upset that his legs were short.C. Because he found something wrong with his face.D. Because he thought he wasted a lot of time exercising.4. What is true according to the passage?A. Jay's parents had short legs.B. All the other students were taller than Jay.C. Most boys in Jay's class looked up to him.D. Jay was shorter than any other member in his family.5. What can we learn about Jay's grandfather?A. His mother was short.B. He had short legs as Jay did.C. He was crazy about taking photos.D. He left gifts for his family members.BNOTICE 1June 11, 2021CALL FOR CREATIVE WRITINGS!This is to inform all the students that our school is going to publish its yearly magazine next month.

On a school noticeboard.C. On the wall of a bus station.D. On the wall of a shopping mall.CHabits and field paths(小径)are formed in the same way: by repetition. Villagers, as a rule, do not purposefully make a foot path to the next village. They just go the shortest or easiest way over the fields. Day after day a people go and come the same way. Their feet beat the earth hard. By their repeated walking in the same direction a path is made. Similarly, the more often we do anything in the same way or at the same time, the more we shall do it that way. At last a habit is formed.Usually it is much easier to form bad habits than good habits. The reason is simple –we are just lazy. For example, it is easier to lie in bed on a cold morning than to get up early. It is easier to put off today's duties to tomorrow than to do them at the right time. Bad habits are not formed in a day, and it is the same with good habits. The forming of good habits needs time and calls for effort and hard work at first; but every time we do the right thing, it makes doing the same thing next time much easier. It's really hard to get up early on a cold winter morning for the first time. However, if you keep doing it every day for some time, it will become “a piece of cake”in the end. At last, we form the good habit ，which would be hard to break even if we wanted to break it.Get into the habit of early rising, and you will not want to lie in bed like a lazybone. Get into the habit of telling the truth, and you will find it really hard to tell a lie. Get into the habit of doing today's work today, and you will feel uncomfortable if you have to put anything off till tomorrow.11. Why is foot-path making mentioned repeatedly?A. To lead in the topic.B. To draw a picture of country life.C. To ask people to go back to nature.D. To compare habits with field paths.12. What question is answered in Paragraph 2?A. How are bad habits formed?B. Why are good habits harder to form?C. Why is it easier to develop bad habits?D. How are bad habits different from good ones?13. What's the most important to form good habits?A. Getting up early on a cold winter morning.B. Doing the right thing and making it easier.C. Working hard first and taking it easy gradually.D. Getting started and keeping doing it for some time.14. What is Paragraph 4 mainly about?A. Formed good habits are here to stay.B. It is not right for anyone to tell a lie.C. Lazybones have no future in their lives.D. Never put things of today off to tomorrow.15. What would be a good title for this passage?A. How Habits Are FormedB. How Habits Shape People's LifeC. Connections Between Habits and PathsD. Differences Between Good and Bad HabitsDA new kind of sea sponge(海绵） found in Norfolk, England, has been named by a nine-year-old girl after a competition for local schools.The unique purple sponge, which had never been seen in other parts of the world, was first discovered by divers(潜水者) off the north Norfolk coast. Although found in 2011, it had been without a name for almost ten years. In January this year, the Marine Conservation Society (MCS)- a group of people who work to protect the UK's seas and coast - asked local schoolchildren to come up with suggestions.Now the sponge has a name to be proud of: parpal dumplin, as suggested by nine-year-old Sylvie from Langham Village School. Sylvie said she came up with the name because “the sponge is purple and it looks like a dumpling”. Parpal dumpling is “purple dumpling”spoken in a Norfolk accent(口音). The judges all agreed that Sylvie's suggestion should be the sponge's name because “the spelling gives the sponge a strong connection to Norfolk”.Sponges were once thought to be plants but they are actually simple sea animals. They feed on tiny things in sea water and help to keep the water clean in the process. Sponges have a very “lazy”lifestyle, with no means of moving themselves around. They are found on the seabed, rocks or even shells. They come in all kinds of different colours, shapes and sizes.Parpal dumplin was first discovered in a place called the Cromer Shoal Chalk Beds as part of a project called Seasearch. When diver Dawn Watson showed sponge expert Claire Goodwin what she found, Goodwin was sure that it was a kind of sponge unknown to science. Watson's discovery is a special sponge, which takes the shape of whatever it covers. Parpal dumplin will now become its common name, and will be used until researchers have learned enough about it to suggest an official scientific one.16. What does the underlined word “unique”probably mean?A. strange and uglyB. special and unusualC. soft and beautifulD. meaningful and important17. Why was the name parpal dumplin chosen?A. Because it sounds interesting.B. Because Sylvie won the competition.C. Because the sponge really looks like a purple dumpling.D. Because its spelling is related to the place where it was found.18. What can we learn about sponges from Paragraph 4?A. They help clean up sea water.B. They are of the same size.C. They don't like moving around.D. They are actually sea plants.19. Which is true about parpal dumplin?A. It has many colors.B. It was found 20 years ago.C. It has only one shape.D. It was scientifically unknown before.20. What do we know from the last sentence?A. Parpal dumplin is a common sponge.B. Parpal dumplin is the sponge's official name.C. There's still a lot to be learned about parpal dumplin.D. Researchers suggested an official name for the sponge.第二节：完形填空（共15小题，每小题2分，满分30分）阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

She has got more than 25,000 followers and a record number of short video views—more than 1.7 million.Born in a countryside family in Mangshi, Y unnan, the 42-year-old woman has been unable to walk since the age of 14, because of a leg problem. At the beginning, she couldn’t accept it. Fortunately, her parents didn’t give up. With her parents’ encouragement and support, Pa gradually overcame it and started the health training. By 2000, she could walk slowly with the support of a pair of walking sticks. Meanwhile, her elder sister helped her open a food store in her village.“I spent most of my time in the small store, and I felt quite proud of making a living on my own instead of depending on my family.” she said. “My business became better and I could give some money to my younger sisters, helping my parents a lot.”Five years later, Pa moved to Mangshi and started a larger store selling daily goods. From 2012, she traveled to different cities to sell health products, which helped her makemore friends and become more popular.The first time she saw someone online sell jade(玉) through livestreaming in Ruili, Yunnan, she was interested. She posted some short videos with another web famous person. By the end of last year, her followers had increased from 300 to 25,000, and she had made more than 30,000 yuan by selling goods online.6．How did Pa feel about her physical problems at first?A．Sad.B．Surprised.C．Tired.D．Excited. 7．What made Pa proud in Paragraph 3?A．Getting her sister’s help.B．Selling walking sticks.C．Making a living by herself.D．Opening online stores.8．When did Pa move to Mangshi?A．In 1999.B．In 2005.C．In 2007.D．In 2015. 9．How did Pa’s online success start?A．By selling jade online.B．By meeting her followers.C．By making friends online.D．By posting short videos online. 10．What word can best describe Pa?A．Strong.B．Serious.C．Honest.D．Lovely.Have you seen bamboos coming out of the earth? Have you noticed that the days are getting longer, with more daylight to enjoy? These are signs of spring’s arrival, promising the return of light, colour and warmth. Spring is nature’s sign that however dark or cold things might be, better days are around the corner. That is hope.“Hope is the feeling that things can get better.” says Dr. Black. Last year Black interviewed some firefighters who put out wildfire in Australia. The firefighter said, “If we don’t fight it, there’s no chance of it stopping.” In addition, hope is also about taking action. Black says, “In our life, we find ourselves caught in difficult situations from time to time. And our actions start us up and help us out. Make the first move, and we will get them through.”Experts say that having hope in difficult times can help you worry less, feel calmer and lift your spirits. They also say that research shows hope can build up your body and help you deal with pain.Feeling disappointed and worried is part of life. If it’s possible to see hope in them, youshould; if it’s not, don’t worry. Dr. White calls this “practical hope”. “Life is messy,” says White, “but we can be clear about how we feel whether that’s sadness or disappointment, and focus（专注）on the opposite. You can’t change the fact that your brother or sister is mean（刻薄）to you. But you can act in a way that is kind and friendly rather than making things worse. Even in the most terrible situations, we can decide how we live with each other.”11．Why is spring mentioned in the beginning?A．It stands for hope.B．It is a pretty season.C．It promises warmth.D．It is the start of a year.12．What question is answered in Paragraph 2?A．How can hope change our life?B．What does hope really mean?C．Why do firefighters need hope?D．Who can help us find hope? 13．What can we infer from paragraph 3?A．Hope is never easy to find.B．Experts never give up hope.C．Hope is important to our health.D．Experts often give us hope.14．What does Dr. White mainly talk about?A．The steps of seeing hope.B．The kinds of practical hope.C．The possibility of seeing hope.D．The value of practical hope. 15．What would be the best title for the passage?A．How Is Hope Found B．Finding Hope Is EasyC．Having Hope Is Helpful D．Where Can We See HopeDuring the Covid-19 outbreak, everyone was advised to do more activities at home. In fact, many activities can be done, for example, sunbathing in the morning.It is said that the morning is the best time to sunbathe, when the sun is still not too hot. Sunbathing cannot be done carelessly, because the vitamins given by the sun are different at every time. A good time to bathe in the morning sun is around 10 am, for at least 10 to 15 minutes.Besides, the morning sun produces ultraviolet rays (紫外线) that will help our body produce vitamin D．Sunbathing not only helps the body meet its needs of vitamin D, but also provides many other benefits (好处) for health, as long as it is done correctly, especially for the elderly.With age, the elderly often have trouble sleeping, like waking up pretty early and gettingsleepy faster during the day. So, how to overcome the difficulty of sleeping in the elderly? Enough and good sleep is useful to repair the physical harm that happens throughout the day. In this case, sunlight plays an important role in the sleep cycle. When the body feels natural sunlight, it stops the production of the hormone (荷尔蒙) for sleep.On the other hand, the elderly sometimes lose interest in their daily activities and it causes feelings of sadness. They often experience depression because the situation is no longer the same as when they were young. Sunbathing for about 30 minutes each day can help prevent and reduce depression in the elderly, and then they will feel comfortable and happy. Therefore, sunbathing is one of the most pleasant ways to prevent Alzheimer (a kind of illness for the elderly).16．Why is the morning the best time to sunbathe?A．Because the sun is not too hot.B．Because the sun can produce X-rays.C．Because the sun can prevent the Covid-19.D．Because the sun provides special things for the elderly.17．Which of the following can explain the underlined word “depression”?A．A way of treatment.B．A thought of happiness.C．A feeling of sadness.D．An action of quietness.18．What is the main idea of the last two paragraphs?A．Sunbathing improves the sleep quality.B．Sunbathing increases Vitamin D production.C．Sunbathing benefits the health of the elderly.D．Sunbathing reduces the danger of depression.19．How does the author express his opinion in this passage?A．By giving the examples.B．By comparing the facts.C．By showing the numbers.D．By explaining the reasons.20．What can we learn from this passage?A．Sunbathing mainly benefits the elderly.B．Sunbathing is pretty helpful for our physical health.C．We can sleep well as long as we sunbathe in the morning.D．We can sunbathe in the morning for 10-15 minutes at most.二、完形填空My three-year-old brother had been told several times to get ready for bed.

You can do a lot of wonderful things online. That’s why the Internet is amazing! If you’re a kid who likes to have fun and chat with friends online, here’re the things you need to watch carefully in order to stay safe and avoid problems.Not all websites are safe for students. Luckily, your parents can guide you to some websites. And you can also visit the websites your teachers suggest. Stick to these safe websites and don’t go out to try something new. Some websites don’t allow kids under a certain age to visit them. You may find it inviting and fun to lie about your age. It’s safer to tell the truth and avoid those websites until you’re older.The loss of Internet ID can cause big problems. So it is important to make your Internet ID safe. If someone can get on the Internet in your username, you have no control over what they do or say. And everyone will think it’s you! So don’t ever let anyone know your username for the Internet. And don’t share your passwords with anyone except your parents.Take good care of your private information. Never tell an online stranger where you live. Your address can make it much easier for bad people to find you. Your phone number is another important piece of personal information. Once it’s out online, it can bring you a lot of trouble. Many online cheatings are carried out with the help of people’s phone numbers. Your parents’ names are also private information. It is risky if they are let out online.四、语法填空The topic of this programme is environmental protection.We human beings ___46___ (do) a lot of things at the cost of the environment to develop economy quickly in the past few years.I do think it is time for us to understand the ___47___ (important) of protecting the environment and do something about it.And today I would like ____48____ (introduce) some simple but useful ways that we can follow ___49___ (easy) in our daily life.Firstly, turn___50___ lights if it is unnecessary.Then,go out in environment-friendly ways such as by bus, by subway or by bike.We can even walk to work when possible, ___51___ it is really helpful for both of our budget and health.Thirdly, try best to ___52___ (use) things like books, paper, magazines and so on.And we can also take a cloth bag when we go ____53____ (shop).Please don’t use plastic ones.Of course the public should raise environmental awareness and realize it is ___54___ (everyone) duty to protect the st but not least, the government should make laws to guide people’s ____55____ (behave).五、电子邮件56．假定你是李华，请回复笔友Mike的邮件，给他至少3条建议并说明理由。

He did a couple of quick wake-up exercises and then he went over to a mirror and looked at himself.“Not bad, Stone, not bad,” he said to himself and smiled.

2020年四川绵阳中学高三英语期中考试试题及参考答案

2020年四川绵阳中学高三英语期中考试试题及参考答案第一部分阅读（共两节，满分40分）第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项AThe Internet has revolutionized our lives to such an extent (程度) that for most people, the global network has become more than just a tool but rather an important aid in everyday life. More and more people go online as wireless networks have brought the Internet closer and closer: it’s on our mobile phones, in our cars and TV sets, in hospital surgery rooms and in fishing boats that battle the waves of the Atlantic.And this revolution has brought along with it a new way of shopping. Both big and small, e-business websites have flooded the Internet by the hundreds of thousands. Anything you can buy from a brick and mortar store (实体店) you can also buy online: from food and clothes to toys, no matter what you’re looking for, you’re bound to find the right online store with just a few clicks of the mouse. You can use the Internet to find new suppliers, post buying requests or search for products and services.This revolution has affected brick and mortar business owners greatly. And what was their reaction? They’ve opened online stores to go hand in hand with their conventional business.But do the big players have reasons to be afraid? Are we going to start seeing ghostly, deserted Walmarts (沃尔玛) across the country? Probably not in the near future but the day will come when most people will just stop shopping offline anymore. A trip to Walmart wastes time, burns gas.The recent advancements in mobile technology and the introduction of mobile phones with enhanced (提高的) web capabilities have even made some people order their groceries when they get out from work and have them delivered at their doorstep by the time they get home. And as “Time is money”, this practice is lifesaving for people whowork two jobs.Technology will continue to advance and e-business will follow closely in its footsteps. Everything will become easier and less time consuming, leaving us more time to enjoy the things that really matter in life: the ones we love, our friends and hobbies.1. What is Paragraph 1 mainly about?A. The popularity of mobile phones.B. The great influence of the Internet.C. The importance of the Internet.D. The function of the global network.2. In response to the threat of online business, the brick-and-mortar store owners________.A. have stopped their traditional businessB. have started their dislike of the InternetC. have established their own websiteD. have opened their online stores3. What would be the best title for the passage?A. A New Way of Shopping.B. The Internet Revolution.C. What is the Reaction to Online Shopping?D. Is Online Shopping the Future of E-business?BOne day when I was 5, my mother criticized me for not finishing my rice and I got angry. I wanted to play outside and not to be made to finish eating my old rice. In my angry motion to open the screen door (纱门) with my foot, I kicked back about a 12-inch part of the lower left hand corner of the new screen door. But I had no regret, for I was happy to be playing in the backyard with my toys.Today, I know if my child had done what I did, I would have criticized my child, and told him about how expensive this new screen door was, and I would have delivered a spanking (打屁股) for it. But my parents never said a word. They left the corner of the screen door pushed out, creating an opening, a crack in the defense against unwanted insects.For years, every time I saw that corner of the screen, it would remind me of my mistake from time to time. For years, I knew that everyone in my family would see that hole and remember who did it. For years, every time I saw a fly buzzing in the kitchen, I would wonder if it came in through the hole that I had created with my angry foot. I would wonder if my family members were thinking the same thing, silently blaming me every time a flying insectentered our home, making life more terrible for us all. My parents taught me a valuable lesson, one that a spanking or stern (严厉的) words perhaps could not deliver. Their silent punishment for what I had done delivered a hundred stern messages to me. Aboveall, it has helped me become a more patient person and not burst out so easily.4. When the author damaged the door, his parents _______.A. scolded him for what he had doneB. left the door unrepairedC. told him how expensive it wasD. gave him a spanking5. How did the author feel every time he saw the damaged door?A. He felt ashamed of his uncontrolled anger at that time.B. He found that his family members no longer liked him.C.

The experience may cause the author _______.A. to hide his anger away from othersB. not to go against his parents’ willC. to have a better control of himselfD. not to make mistakes in the future7. What of the following is the main idea of this passage?A. Adults should ignore their children’s bad behavior.B. Parents shouldn’t educate their children.C. What is the best way to become a more patient person?D. Silent punishment may have a better effect on educating people.CSonja Redding and her family were on their way home to Omaha, Nebraska, after a weeklong visit to Washington, D. C. with her two sons, one of whom, 5-year-old Xayvior, has autism(自闭症).Although all of the other flights had gone fine, Xayvior became angry during one of the flights, and Redding couldn’t calm him.“It felt like everyone on the plane was looking at us and got angry with my son, ” she wrote in a Facebook post after she got home. “I don’t know what to do when others just don’t understand that he is not just a kid with no discipline(自制力)，but a child with special needs who doesn’t know how to control himself.”The day was saved by Delta flight attendant(空乘人员)Amanda Amburgy. She tried to help Xayvior watch a movie, but when that failed, she offered to take him on a tour of the airplane.That worked, and soon the child was not only calm, but having a good time.“When they came back, Xayvior was much calmer and happier,” wrote Redding in the post，which now has 2,700 likes and over 500 shares. “I want to thank this Delta attendant. She didn’t judge, and she just showed love. We need more people like this in the world. ”It wasn’t long before Amburgy was told about the post.“ We’re there to help, and that’s what we want to do,” she said in an interview. “So, we always want to make anything easier for the family as well as other passengers.”She also shared what she felt when she read Redding’s story. “When I read it, it touched my heart.
