Smog is a big problem in many Chinese cities. But it seems that besides wearing a mask (口罩), few of us know what has caused the smog and what to do to beat it. Chai Jing, a former news anchor with China Central Television, discussed the questions in her documentary Under the Dome. The 103-minute film was released on major Chinese video-sharing websites on Feb 28. In the film, Chai visits polluted places and talks to officials and scientists. She concludes that burning too much coal (煤) and oil are the main causes of PM2.5 and smog. To make things worse, according to Chai, the coal and oil we are burning is of poor quality and don’t meet the standards (标准) for environmental protection. Therefore they have produced more harmful gas and particles (颗粒) to pollute the air. To solve the problem, Chai suggests that we should clean our coal and oil or replace them with cleaner energy such as natural gas.? In her film, Chai also emphasized (强调) that ordinary people can do something to help control smog too. For example, we can live a greener life by using more public transportation. Or if we see things that could harm the environment, we can try to stop it. In one scene from the film, Chai sees a dirt mound in a building site exposed in the air, and asks the person in charge to cover it. When she sees a restaurant cooking without any suitable filter facilities(过滤设备), she calls the hotline 12369. The restaurant installed the filter a week later. Chen Jining, the new minister of environmental protection, praised Chai. “This film encourages ordinary people to be concerned (关注) with the environment. This is what we need in the future.”
38. What is the main cause of smog according to Chai? A. Setting off too many fireworks. B. Burning too much coal and oil. C. Too many cars in big cities. D. Too many factories and companies.
39. Which of the following is NOT included in Chai’s suggestions towards reducing smog? A.Using cleaner energy. B. Cleaning coal and oil. C.Using gas and electricity. D. Replacing coal with wind energy.
40. What can we tell from the story? A. Only factories produce heavy smog.
B. Only the government can control smog. C. Smog can’t be controlled by ordinary people. D. Living a green life can help reduce smog.41. What’s Chen Jining’s attitude towards Chai’s film? A. He didn’t watch it. B. He thought highly of it. C. He disagreed with it. D. He criticized（批评）it.

2.Health
A good night’s sleep
Do you get the sleep you need?
When the morning sun looks in through our window, do you jump out of bed or go on lying?
Having enough sleep can make the difference between a great day and a terrible one!
Here are the tips for a good night’s sleep:
First, go to bed and get up at the same time, even if you haven’t gotten a good night’s sleep. Sleeping late for just a few days can change your body clock to a different cycle.
Also, avoid big meals at night. Eating heavy, rich food within two hours of bedtime can keep you awake. Your stomach works hard because of those fatty foods, and that may keep you up.
Your body produces a chemical called melatonin that helps you sleep. Light changes the amount of melatonin. It produces more in the evening and less in the daytime. So at night turn off your TV and PC. Also, don’t read from a backlit device(有背光的设备) like an iPad. Some scientists think that light from those devices stops your body from making melatonin. So turn those screens off at least an hour before bedtime.
After a good night’s sleep, you’ll be able to face a new day.
1. According to the first passage, we can learn that ________.
A. Australians consider mango as the national fruit
B. mangoes are rich in fat to meet people’s daily need
C. there are all kinds of vitamins and minerals in mangoes
D. people enjoy mangoes because they are healthy and tasty
【答案】D
【解析】本题为信息定位题：根据“The countries of India and the Philippines have named mango their national fruit” 可知A选项是错误的。“A cup of the fruit has only 100 calories and is nearly fat-free”可知B选项是错误的。根据 “Mangoes have over 20 vitamins and minerals, making them a ‘super food’.”可知C是正确的。根据 “And not only do mangoes taste great but they also are good for you.”可知D选项是错误的。
2. The underlined word “cultivated” in the first passage means ________.
A. bought B. made C. planted D. invented
【答案】C
【解析】本题说的是mango这种fruit，水果不可能made或者invented，有根据句意，本篇文章说的是芒果的起源种植地，是哪个国家的“果树”以及芒果富含的营养等等关于芒果的介绍，“买”在这里显然不符合句意。
3.According to the second passage, we can make our body produce more melatonin by ________.
A. surfing the Internet on the computer or ipad
B. changing our body clocks to different cycles
C. turning off TVs at least an hour before sleeping
D. enjoying some outdoor activities in the open air
【答案】C
【解析】根据 “It produces more in the evening and less in the daytime.” 和 “Some scientists think that light from those devices stops your body from making melatonin. So turn those screens off at least an hour before bedtime.”两句得知答案为C。
4. The second passage mainly tells us that people ________.
A. can do something to have a good night’s sleep
B. should do to bed early and get up early every day
C. should jump out of bed quickly when the sun rises
D. shouldn’t eat fatty food two hours before going to bed
【答案】A
【解析】本题为信息定位题：根据 “Here are the tips for a good night’s sleep”这句话以及后面的各段的首句可知本文主要讲的是如何拥有好睡眠。
5. These two articles may come from ________.
A. a story book B. a magazine C. a guide book D. a news report
【答案】B
【解析】这两篇都带有一定的科普性质，介绍芒果以及如何拥有好睡眠。所以故事书和指导书，新闻报导这些都不是很符合句意，很有可能是杂志上的文章。

基础部分
(来自2016中考英语模拟)阅读下面短文或图表，并选择正确答案。
I still remember the last time when two of my children and I went to the playground. It had rained during the night and the playground was very muddy (泥泞的). They had just put on clean clothes, so I was a little worried about the pools of water on the playground. It was not long before Kathy got her beautiful skirt dirty on the playground. She dug through the rocks. I was about to blame her for getting her clothes dirty when she ran towards me with a smile on her face. When she got to me, she handed me a little heart-shaped rock and said, “Here Mom! Here is a heart for you－just because I love you! Keep it!” with tears in my eyes, I thanked her.
Should I blame her for getting her clothes muddy? No way! I still have that little heart-shaped rock. It is one of the best gifts that I have ever received. I realize that many times it is not necessary for us adults to worry about the small things our children do. Let them do what they’d like to.
I will spend a lot more time on the playground with my children. I’m sure I will learn a lot from the children. It reminds me of some years ago when my grandfather told me, “You would not enter the kingdom (王国) of happiness until you pretended (假装) to be a small child.”
26. The writer was deeply moved by her daughter’s ____▲_____.
A. digging task on the playground B. love of the muddy playground
C. special way to show her love D. smile on her face when running
27. From Paragraph 2, we can learn that the writer thought parents should ____▲_____.
A. allow kids to do whatever they like
B. keep the presents given by children

28. In the last paragraph, Grandpa’s words imply (暗示) that ____▲______.
A. children may find happiness easily in life
B. children care more about happiness than adults do
C. adults cannot share children’s happiness
D. adults should pretend to be a child

The number of rural(乡村的) left-behind children under 17 years old has increased to 61.02 million, according to a report. These children’s parents leave them with their grandparents or other family members in order to make money in cities.
Sichuan Province and Henan Province have the highest percentage of rural left-behind children. Together with Anhui Province, Guangdong Province and Hunan Province, these five provinces have 43.64% of the country’s rural left-behind children, the report says.
The report finds that left-behind children are mainly in the central and western provinces. But the developed eastern areas also face similar problems, the report says. Guangdong Province has the most left-behind children, with 4.34 million, followed by Zhejiang Province, Jiangsu Province, Shanghai and Beijing.
“What I’m worried about most is the schooling of my child, as I have no time to help her with her homework.” Said An Baiyou, a truck driver from Shangdong Province, who has been leaving his 10-year-old daughter with his parents while driving trucks in other provinces. “However, to make money or to take care of the child, you can only choose one side.”
Wang Zhenyao, the president of Beijing Normal University Institute of Public Welfare, says that if the left-behind children problem can’t be solved, it will affect the nation’s future.
Compared with those who live with their parents, left-behind children need more care and protection. The country should think about ways to attract the rural workers in cities to return and work in their hometown to improve the development of these places.”
In addition, it is important to set up laws to protect the basic rights of young people, especially those with illnesses or only one parent.
These children are the future of the nation. People should offer them their love, care and protection.
29. Which of the following is TRUE, according to the passage?
A. Wang Zhenyao has a 10-year-old daughter.

A. it is not easy to solve the left-behind children problem
B. children with illnesses or only one parent are very poor
C. it is important to solve the left-behind children problem
D. rural workers like working in cities rather than their hometowns
31. The best title of the passage is_____▲_____.
A. Serious facts about rural children

Being safe at school and in your everyday life needs knowledge. If you remember the following information, your life will be much safer.
Always notice the environment around you. You shouldn't walk alone outside. Make sure where the public phones are. If anything dangerous happens, you can find them quickly.
Don't use earphones when running in the school yard or on the street. You will keep yourself from the outside world and can be easily surprised.
School bags should be carried towards the front of your body instead of putting them on your back. When buses are crowded, it is easy enough for thieves to steal the things in your bags on your back.
If you are followed by a stranger, cross the street and go in the other direction, let the stranger know that you know he or she is there. Next, go and get help from others if it is necessary. Don’t go home directly. You are safer on the street than you are in your home or in a lift.
If you have to take a bus to a place far away, try to get to the stop a few minutes before the buses leave. This stops a stranger from studying you. On buses, don’t sit alone; sit behind the driver or with friends. Don’t sleep.
根据短文内容，判断以下句子正误。你认为正确的句子请在答题卷相应空格内写“T”，错误的写“F”。（共5小题，每小题1分，满分5分）

As teenagers, you have many dreams. These dreams can be very big, such as winning the Nobel Prize, or they can be small. You may just want to become one of the ten best students in your class.
Once you find a dream, what do you do with it? Do you ever try to make your dream real? Follow Your Heart by Australian writer Andrew Matthews tells us that making our dreams real is life’s biggest challenge.
You may think you’re not very good at some school subjects, or that it is impossible for you to become a writer. These kinds of thoughts stop you from getting your dream, the book says.
In fact, everyone can make his dream come true. The first thing you must do is to remember what your dream is.
Don’t let it leave your heart. Keep telling yourself what you want. Do this step by step and your dream will come true faster because a big dream is, in fact, many small dreams.
You must also never give up your dream.
There will be difficulties on the road to your dreams. But the biggest difficulty comes from yourself. You need to decide what is the most important. Studying instead of watching TV will lead to better exam results, while saving five yuan instead of buying an ice cream means you can buy a new book. As you get closer to your dream, it may change a little. This is good as you have the chance to learn more skills and find new interests.

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。
Life is full of surprises and you never know how things will turn out.
Sir John Gurdon is a good example of this. As a boy, he was told he was hopeless at science and finished bottom of his class. Now, aged 79, the very same Gurdon shared the 2012 Nobel Prize in Medicine with Japanese stem cell(干细胞) researcher Shinya Yamanaka.
Like so many scientists, Gurdon shows us where the power of curiosity and perseverance(坚持不懈) can lead.
At the age of 15 in 1948, Gurdon ranked last out of the 250 boys at his high school in biology and every other science subject. Gurdon’s high school science teacher even said that his dream of becoming a scientist was “quite ridiculous”.
In spite of his teacher’s criticisms, Gurdon followed his curiosity and kept working hard. He went to the lab early and left later than anyone else. He experienced thousands of failures.
“My own belief is that we will, in the end , understand everything about how cells actually work.” Gurdon said.
In 1962, Gurdon took a cell from an adult frog and moved its genetic(基因的) information into an egg cell. The egg cell then grew into a clone(克隆) of the adult frog. This technique later helped to create Dolly the sheep in 1996, the first cloned mammal(哺乳动物) in the world.
In 2006, Gurdon’s work was developed by Yamanaka to show that a sample (样本) of a person’s skin can be used to create stem cells. Using the technique, doctors can repair a patient’s heart after a heart attack.
“Luck favors the prepared mind,” Gurdon told the Nobel Prize Organization. “Ninety percent of the time things don’t work, but when they do, you have to seize(抓住) the chance.”

The sun can make the wind blow! The sun can make air move across the earth in a wind.
First, sunshine makes the earth warm. Then when the air is close to the earth, the earth makes it warm. As the air gets warmer, it also gets lighter. It goes up while cooler air moves in to fill its place. This is like a turning wheel (车轮) —— as one part is going up, another part is moving along the ground.
The warm air grows cool when it is high above the earth, and then it comes down again. Once more the earth warms it. Again it rises, and the great wheel of air keeps turning.
You can feel it turning on a hot day beside the sea or a lake. The earth receives more hear (热量) from the sun than the water does. This means that warm and light air grows above the earth, while the air above the water stays cool. When the warm, light air rises, the cooler air begins to move. It moves in over the land to fill the warm air’s place. That’s why you can feel a cool wind near the sea on a sunny day.
Some winds are formed (形成) by the turning of the earth itself.
( )51. The wind is made to blow by ____.
A. the earth B. the sun C. the air D. the water
( )52. When the wind blows, it should pass through ____.
A. one step (步骤) B. two steps C. three steps D. four steps
( )53. Winds are formed by ____.
a. the turning of the earth itself b. the moving of the cool air
c. the turning of the great wheel d. the moving of the warm air
A. a; b; c B. a; c; d C. b; c; d D. a; b; d
( )54. Which of the following pictures can explain the form of the wind?
( )55. The passage mainly tells us ____.
A. how the sun is turned into the wind B. how the wind forms
C. how the warm and cool air forms D. what the earth is about

【2016中考模拟】阅读下列材料，从A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳的答案。
Many people say that they are working too many hours. They don't have enough time to relax or to stay with their family.
Work hours are different from one country to another. In France, people spend about 1,646 hours a year at work. In Japan, however, people work about 2,159 hours a year. That means a Japanese worker works 513 more hours a year than a French worker.
Why do people work so many hours? Some people work extra (额外的) hours because they want to make more money. However, many companies don't pay overtime. Their workers don't get more pay for more work. Some people think it's their duty to work more hours. Some are afraid of losing their jobs if they don't work more hours.
Many people say that their vacations are too short. In France, people get five weeks of paid vacation a year. In Germany, they get four to six weeks, and in the United States, two weeks. One study shows fewer than half of workers used all their vacation days. In Great Britain, there is a saying, "All work and no play makes Jack a dull (迟钝的) boy." If that is true, there must be a lot of dull people in the world.
62. A Japanese worker works ________ more hours a year than a French one.
A. 513 B. 1,646 C. 2,159 D. 3,805

The volunteers who brought the nine-year-old to the orphanage* knew little about her. The streets where they found her had been her home for many years. Her parents were unknown. They had left her long ago.
At the orphanage, the girl, like all the children there, was taught to read and write. While she was studying at the orphanage, she learned something else -- to be independent*. At twenty-one, she left the orphanage and began work as a secretary.
And then, in 1975, while she was still working as a common secretary, something very unusual happened. She entered the Miss Hong Kong competition -- and won it. This was the turning point in her life. Now Mary Cheung was very popular in Hong Kong.
Mary entered the competition because she was full of ambitions* and because she wanted to show that orphanage girls could be something. Winning the competition gave her the chance to start a new life. This led her first into television and then to a business manager. When she was working as a manager, she had trouble with her reports. “My English just wasn’t good enough,” she said. Fortunately, she had a boy-friend (who later became her husband) to help her.
Mary studied management at Hong Kong Polytechnic and graduated in 1980. She started her own company in 1995. But she was still working hard to develop herself. She then studied for a Fine Arts degree at the University of Hong Kong. Her ambition was to teach arts in Hong Kong. Since 1987, she has spent a lot of her time on photography. She has held several exhibitions of her work in many places, including China, New Zealand and Paris. She still found time, however, to work on TV and for charity, to write for newspapers and bring up her family.
The girl from street has come a long way, but her journey is not finished yet.
33. Mary ______ when the volunteers found her.
A. was known well B. lived with her parents
C. had been homeless for many years D. was at school like all the children
34. ______ was the turning point in Mary’s life.
A. Being brought to the orphanage B. Being taught to read and write
C. Having trouble with her reports D.Winning the Miss Hong Kong competition
35. The underlined sentence “The girl from street has come a long way” means that ______.
A. Mary has travelled a lot
B. Mary is very tired because she has run a long way
C. Mary is always hard-working and she has made a great success
D. Mary needs to have a rest because she has made a great success
36. From the passage we can learn that ______.
A. Mary has achieved all her ambitions
B. Mary never stopped developing herself all the time
C. Mary’s life as a small child was very happy and comfortable
D. Mary became a secretary after she won the Miss Hong Kong competition

Many years ago, when I was fresh out of school and working in Denver, I was driving to my parents' home in Missouri for Christmas. I stopped at a gas station about 50 miles from Oklahoma City, where I was planning to stop and visit a friend. While I was standing in line t o pay for gas, I said hello to an old couple* in front of me.
It was dark when I left the gas station hurriedly, but I had gone only a few miles when black smoke poured from the back of my car. I stopped and didn’t know what I should do. A car slowed down and stopped behind me. It was the couple I had spoken to at th e gas station. They said they would take me to my friend's. We chatted on the way into the city, and when I got out of the car, the husband gave me his business card.
I wrote him and his wife a thank-you note for helping me. A few days later, I received a Christmas present from them. Their note that came with it said that helping me had made their holidays meaningful.
Years later, I drove to a meeting in a nearby city in the morning. In late afternoon I returned to my car and found that I'd left the lights on all day, and the battery* was dead. Then I noticed that the Friendly Ford dealership - a shop selling cars - was right near my car. I went over and found two salesmen in the showroom.
“Just how friendly is Friendly Ford?” I asked and explained my trouble. They quickly drove a pickup truck to my car and started it. They would accept no payment, so when I got home, I wrote them a note to say thanks. I received a letter back from one of the salesmen. He said that no one had ever taken the time to write him and say “thank you”, and it meant a lot.
"Thank you" - two powerful words. They're easy to say and mean so much.

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。
For thousands of years, people have used plants to make medicines. They used different parts of the plants―the roots, the leaves, the flowers, and the bark(树皮). Today, doctors have rediscovered more medicinal(药用)values of some plants. Let's look at some examples.
Foxglove is a common plant. People have used it to make the heart slow down. Recently scientists have developed another drug(药)from it. This new drug helps prevent other heart problems.
In some areas, malaria has been a problem. Scientists have learned that the bark of a South American tree, the cinchona, can be made into a drug to prevent malaria. For a long time, the Chinese have known that a special plant, wormwood, can also fight malaria. Scientists have been working with it to develop new drugs against malaria.
In Germany, some scientists studied garlic(大蒜)for four years. They found that it helps prevent the build-up of plaque(血小板)because too much plaque is bad for health. This very common plant continues to be studied.
As we know, there are about 250,000 kinds of flowering plants in the world. Scientists have only studied little more than one percent of plants for their medicinal value. Maybe medicines for AIDS and cancer will be made from the other 99 percent.
( )29. What can foxglove be used for?
A. Studying plants. B. Building up the plaque.
C. Treating AIDS and cancer. D. Preventing heart problems.
( )30. What does the underlined word "malaria" in Paragraph 3 refer to(指的是)?
A. A drug. B. A plant. C. An illness. D. An animal.
( )31. How many plants are mentioned in the passage?
A. 3. B. 4. C. 5. D. 6
( )32. Which of the following is the best title for the passage?
A. Past and Future B. Plants and Medicine
