专题2：阅读理解（猜测词义类1）
Many people have said that you can experience all four seasons in a single day in Britain. I finally got it recently.
It was a Saturday morning and raining lightly. Mom and I were going to the cinema. But the rain didn't put us off; we'd had far worse than that!
After the film was over, we could see from the cinema window that the rain was pouring down . But when we reached the exit, the weather was completely normal. There was no rain, just wind and bright sunshine. It was amazing.
Since the weather was looking good, we decided to go to the Botanic Garden in the afternoon. However, on the way there, there was another shower—this time of snow. I was excited about the snow; mom was busy trying to get me into my raincoat. Then, dramatically, the snow stopped. We were startled. And guess what The same thing happened four more times that afternoon.
If you think that was the end, think again. The next day, on Sunday, when I pulled back the curtains, the world was covered in a blanket of snow. I quickly got dressed and ran out of the house. A few minutes later, I'd made a big snowman in the back garden. The snow was already up to my heels and I didn't think it would stop the whole day.
But a little later it did stop. That was at 11 in the morning; by 4 pm all the snow had disappeared. The sun had come out again, shining brightly as "normal"!

I'm sure you all know how important recycling is. Recycling is when you take old things and turn them into new things. It sounds like magic. But it's actually very scientific.

Some bottles of juice are made out of glass. Bags and yogurt containers are made out of plastic. There are many things that can be recycled.

Social customs and ways of behaving change all the time. Things that were considered impolite many years ago are now acceptable. Just a few years ago, it was considered to be impolite behavior for a man to smoke on the street. No man who thought of himself as being a gentleman would make a fool of himself by smoking when a lady was in the room.
Customs also differ from country to country. Does a man walk on the left or the right of a woman in your country Or that doesn't matter What about table manners
The Americans and British people not only speak the same language but also share a large number of social customs. For example, in both America and England, people shake hands when they meet each other for the first time. Also most Englishmen will open a door for a woman or offer their seats to women, and so will most Americans. Promptness (准时) is important both in England and in America. That is, the dinner guest either arrives close to the time that has been made or calls up to explain his delay (耽误).
The important thing to remember about social customs is not to do anything that might make other people feel uncomfortable—especially if they are your guests. There is an old story about a man who gave a very formal dinner party. When the food was served, one of the guests started to eat his peas with a knife. The other guests were amused or greatly surprised, but the host calmly picked up his knife and began eating in the same way. It would have been bad manners to make his guest feel foolish or uncomfortable.

A．make himself strong B．make himself rich
C．make himself comfortable D．make himself look like a fool
(2) According to the passage, the American people and the British people _____.
A．don't speak the same language

A．nearly or a minute or two later than
B．at a quarter past
C．at half past
D．much later than
(4) The last example in the passage shows _____.
A．the correct way to use a knife at table
B．that it is good manners not to make your guest feel foolish or uncomfortable
C．that social customs and ways of behaving change too fast
D．that different countries have different customs
(5) What's the best title of the passage

Martina looked out of the window. A robin was singing a lively song in the tree. At this time, Grandpa, who lived with the family since Grandma had died, came in. He looked at the floor as if looking for something. He said, "When the robin sings..." he stopped, trying to remember what he had started to say.
"Spring is here," Mum finished the sentence. "And I'm thinking of our spring cleaning," Mum suggested. "Martina, you can help me, right " Martina agreed unwillingly.
They cleaned the house. They cleaned upstairs, downstairs, inside, outside, until everything was clean. Then Mum pointed to Grandpa's sofa and shouted. "That old sofa has got to go. We'll buy Grandpa a new one."

"I don't want a new one," Grandpa insisted. Mum let go of the sofa. "We'll talk about it tonight when John gets home." John, Martina's dad, was still at work.

Grandpa shook his head and said, "I sat in this sofa, with your grandma right here, when I asked her to marry me. It was so long ago, but when I sit in this sofa and close my eyes I feel she is near."
"It's amazing," Martina thought, "how Grandpa can remember things from the past. These days he forgets almost everything."
The old man smiled to Martina and went on. "And the night your father was born, I sat in this sofa. I was nervous when they placed the little baby into my arms."
"I think I'm beginning to understand," Martina said. "Many years later," Grandpa continued, "I sat in this sofa when the doctor called and told me that your grandma was ill. I was lost without her, but the sofa gave me the comfort."
"I do see now," Martina looked at Grandpa. "This is not just an old sofa. This sofa is more like a friend." "Yes," Grandpa added. "We've got through a lot together." The whole family agreed that the living room would be boring without the old sofa.

People read books less often these days. With the invention of radios, televisions and most recently, the Internet and computer games, it seems that reading books is no longer a popular activity. However, I believe that books are an important part of our lives.
Books offer an outstanding wealth of learning and are at a lower price than taking a course. Books can make people cleverer, because heavy readers have greater knowledge of how things work.
Everything in today's society requires (需要) reading. Imagine trying to do something as simple as reading the directions on a medicine bottle without good reading skills. Someone cannot understand them and might become very sick or even die.
Even something as simple as walking or driving through the city could become very dangerous without enough reading. Sometimes, you must be able to understand what is written and the meaning of it.
Some people say that reading is a waste of time and we can do better things with our time. Even if we don't read books，we still read every day, and reading books can strengthen (加强) our abilities. Reading is one of the greatest things we can do in our spare time.
With a book, you can travel anywhere you want, do anything you want, and talk to anyone you want. Reading is very important in our lives, no matter your age. So I think people should read books.
(1) What activity is less popular these days than before
A．Reading a book. B．Listening to the radio.
C．Watching TV. D．Surfing the Internet.
(2) We can learn from the second paragraph that _____.
A．reading can improve your memory

A．People Should Enjoy Themselves

Jesselyn Silva's average day isn't like most 13-year-old girls' average days. She runs, hits a punching bag, and practices sparring (虚晃一拳) against her coach—all before she has to concentrate on school. Jesselyn, a world-class boxer, is exactly not ordinary.
Jesselyn started boxing when she was seven years old. Jesselyn said, "One day I saw my dad hitting the bag and I wanted to do what he was doing." Then she had a dream to be one of the best female boxers of all time.
She says one of the things she enjoys most about boxing is the tight-knit circle—a group of people who are closely connected with each other. It has helped her create. She and her father have made many friends through the sport. "Everyone gets along and everyone knows each other," she said. "I like how everyone treats each other." The respect that Jesselyn and other boxers show to one another is rooted in their shared understanding of the sacrifice it takes to make it in the ring.
Jesselyn wrote a memoir (自传), My Corner of the Ring, which is an inspirational story of her journey in the sport. She wrote it to encourage other girls to let go of their fears of competing. "To girls who are interested in boxing, it might seem scary at first," she said. "But once you do it and get in the ring, it's really fun. Boxing is about facing fears and overcoming them." "It takes a lot of hard work to compete," Jesselyn said. "You have to have desire. And if you have the desire to be great, you have to go for it."
Jesselyn believes that women are getting more and more attention in the sport of boxing. Her dream is to go to the 2024 Olympics, turn pro, and become a world champion. With her hard work, Jesselyn Silva seems to be on the way to making her dream come true.

When your dream is to become a footballer and play for Barcelona, nothing should get in your way—even if you have no feet.
An 11-year-old schoolboy Gabriel Muniz, who was born without feet, will fly from his home in Brazil to take part in the Spanish club's summer training camp. Although he is disabled, Muniz is one of the top players at the school and captain of his gym class. He can run, dribble, pass and strike the ball as well as any of his able-bodied teammates. He spends all his spare time on the football pitch.
His best friend Lucas Santos spoke about his abilities on a video for The Sun, "He is skillful, he goes after it, he is fearless and he knows how to organize plays. He also makes good passes." Mum Sandra was thrilled that her son would achieve his dreams. She said, "He started walking before he was one. We would go after him, expecting him to keep falling, but he never fell." Muniz's gym teacher added, "He is challenging the social norms (标准). When he arrived there, no one believed in him." But he showed to everyone that he could play as well as any other boy. So he was invited to go to Spain to show his talent.
The Spanish La Liga soccer club has offered to fly Muniz to Spain in September, where he'll be able to show off his "fancy footwork" and meet his idol, a soccer player Lionel Messi.

From red apples and yellow lemons to blue berries and green melons, fruit comes in many different colours. Why do different kinds of fruits have so many colours
According to Lu Wei from the Chinese Academy of Sciences, fruit colours actually come from their different pigments, such as red or yellow carotenoid (类胡萝卜素) and blue or purple anthocyanin (花青素). These pigments appear in different amounts, depending on the fruit's environment. This causes the fruit to turn a certain colour.
To find out how environment affects fruit colours, Chinese scientists studied more than 280 different fruit colours, including white, red, blue, purple and black.
They found that red fruit tends to grow in cooler places. And instead of just growing in one place, you can find them growing in many places around the world. Blue and purple fruit mostly grows in warm places. These fruits tend to grow a lot in just one specific area. The scientists also found that the closer the fruit is to the equator (赤道), the darker its colour will be.
Animals have also had an impact on the evolution (进化) of fruit colours. Animals eat fruit and drop the seeds in other places later. This helps the fruit spread and grow in different places. Therefore, in order to attract animals, some fruits develop colours that are easy for animals to see.
However, animals see colours in a different way. Fruit needs to develop colours that are suited to animals' visual (视觉的) abilities. For example, birds can see red more easily than humans can. Therefore, there is more red fruit in areas where birds live. The lemurs (狐猴) of Madagascar are red-green colour-blind. Many yellow fruit can be found there, as they can easily see this colour.
(1) The underlined word "pigments" in the passage probably means _____.
A．数量 B．成分 C．温差 D．色素
(2) You are more likely to find blue and purple fruit in _____ places.
A．cooler B．warmer C．higher D．lower
(3) Some fruits develop certain colours to _____.
A．scare animals away B．absorb more sunlight
C．attract animals to eat them D．protect themselves
(4) What can we know from the passage
A．Dark fruit tends to grow close to the equator.
B．Green fruit tends to grow in cool places.
C．Humans can see red more easily than birds.
D．Lemurs are colour-blind and can't see any colours.
(5) Which of the following have influenced the evolution of fruit colours
a. the environment
b. the pigment
c. animals
d. scientists
A．a, d B．b, c C．a, c D．b, d
Always believe in yourself no matter what happens to you and love the person that you are. These are laws of life that are useful to everyone. I think that before people can live happy lives, they must believe in and accept themselves.
The hardest thing for you to do is to look in the mirror and like what you see, and then be thankful. And believe you can finish anything you try to do. To live a comfortable life, you must start with believing in yourself.
I have struggled with believing in myself so many times in my life. Struggling with little tasks such as completing homework or memorising a piece on the piano, I would get so upset. But you never realize how much easier your life will become until you say, "I can do this!"
Four or five years ago, I began taking piano lessons. One day, recital time was coming near, but I had a piece that I couldn't completely ing home with a feeling of sadness, I just considered I could not achieve this task.
I sat at my piano and told myself that I would never get it finished. But on second thought, I could memorise it. So, I tried my best to play and play. Finally, I did end up finishing the piece, and the recital was able to go smoothly. The important point is that looking back on this time in my life, I can see how important it is to believe that I can complete anything I want to do if I try my best.
Now, when I become upset with a piano piece, I never give up and think that I cannot do it. Always beginning with confidence, I sit down and tell myself that I can achieve my goal if I put my mind to it. I realize that I should have this mind in everything I do.
So, dear friend, never give up, and believe that you can complete anything if you set your mind and heart on it.
(1) When you look in the mirror, the most difficult thing for you is to _____ in it.
A．compare with others B．accept yourself
C．change yourself D．see anyone else
(2) What's the meaning of the underlined word "recital" in Paragraph 4
A．游戏 B．演奏会 C．歌唱 D．娱乐
(3) What is the correct order of the following statements of the passage
a. The writer thinks you can achieve your goal if you put your mind to it.
b. When becoming sad with a piano piece, the writer never gives up.
c. The writer began taking piano lessons four or five years ago.
d. When not finishing little tasks, the writer would get upset.
e. Always believe in yourself in any condition.
A．a-b-c-d-e B．d-c-e-a-b C．e-d-c-b-a D．c-e-d-b-a
(4) What can we learn from the passage
A．The harder you work, the luckier you will become.
B．Try to do anything that you feel difficult to finish.
C．Believing in yourself means you can do everything well.
D．Nothing is difficult if you put your heart into it.
(5) The passage probably comes from _____.
