Smog is a big problem in many Chinese cities. But it seems that besides wearing a mask, few of us know what has caused the smog and what to do to beat it. Chai Jing, a former news reporter 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, 2015. In the film, Chai visits polluted places and talks to officials and scientists. She concludes that burning too much coal and oil is the main cause 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 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 that ordinary people can do something to help control smog too. For example, we can live a greener life by using more public transportation. If your destination is not far away, you can also walk or ride a bike. If we see things that could harm the environment, we can call the hotline 12369, which is run by China’s Ministry of Environmental Protection for complaints questions about environmental issues. If you find any polluted source, take a picture of it and post it on your social media accounts. Remember to add “@local environmental departments” on weibo. Pay attention to the factories that pollute the environment and don’t buy products made from these factories. You can also ask your parents to clean the cooking area regularly to avoid extra harmful gas.
Chen Jinning, the new minister of Environmental Protection, praised Chai. “This film encourages ordinary people to be concerned with the environment. This is what we need in the future.”

Escaping from a fire is a serious matter. Knowing what to do during a fire can save your life. It’s important to know the ways you can use and show them to everyone in the family, such as stairways and fire escapes, but not elevators(电梯）.
From the lower floors of the buildings, escaping through window is possible. Learn the best way of leaving by window with the least chance of serious injury.
The second floor window is usually not very high from the ground. Of course, it is safer to jump a short way than to stay in a burning building.
Window are also useful when you are waiting for help. Be sure to keep the door closed. Or smoke and fire may come into the room. Keep your head low at the window to be sure you get fresh air rather than smoke that may get into the room.
On a second or third floor, the best windows for escape are those that open onto a roof. From the roof a person can drop to the ground more safely. Dropping onto hard ground might end in injury. Bushes and grass can help to break a fall.

Why are your study habits different from those of your friends? Why do you seem to learn faster in some classes while more slowly in others ? One reason you may not know is that people have different learning types. Scientists say there are three different learning types: Visual(视觉型), Auditory(听觉型) and kinesthetic(动觉型).
Visual learners learn best by seeing. If you seem to easily remember information from pictures, graphs(图表) and videos, you are probably a visual learner. You’re not good at copying down what the teacher says in class. Never mind. You can draw graphs or pictures instead, if you find that works better for you.
Auditory learners learn best by hearing. If you seem to easily remember things by hearing them, then you are probably an auditory learner. You must listen carefully while the teacher is speaking because it’s the easiest way for you to learn. Sometimes you may find that taking notes stops you from listening carefully. After class, you can write down what you remember or borrow your friends’ notes to copy.
Kinesthetic learners learn best by doing. If you seem to learn best by working with your hands, you are probably a kinesthetic learner. Taking notes by writing can make you pay close attention to information as you receive it. Of course, you can learn best by making full use of labs or other class activities.
Hope you learn better by knowing what your personal learning type is.

Everyone needs friends. There is an old saying: Friends are God’s way of taking care of us. But how do you find real friendship and keep it?
“The Care and Keeping of Friends” by American author Sally Seamans tells young students some smart ways to find friends.
Sally says finding friendship is just like planting a tree. You plant the seed and take care of it to make it grow.
First, you should choose a friend. What makes a good friends? It is not because a person has money or good looks. A good friend should be kind and patient. For example, if you have a bad day, a good friend should listen to your complaints(抱怨) and do their best to help. To make a friend, you cannot be too shy. You should make each other happy and share your lives.
But things cannot always be happy. Even the best friends have fights. What should you do when you have a fight with your friend? You have to talk to them. When there is no one around, have an honest talk. If he or she doesn’t want to talk, you could write a letter.
Sally says there are three steps to being friends again: Tell him or her how you are feeling; say what your friend has done wrong, and explain why you did this or that. The book also has advice on some small but important things like celebrating your friends’ success. Even if you haven’t had a real friend before, you will start to think of having one if you read this book. Because the book tells that friendship is the most important thing in your life.

Mr Darcy had been standing near enough for Elizabeth to overhear (偷听) a talk between him and Mr Bingley, who came from the dance for a few minutes, to force his friend to join it.
“Come, Darcy,” said he. “I must have you dance. I hate to see you standing about by yourself in this stupid manner. You had much better dance.”
“I certainly shall not. You know how I hate it, unless I am particularly familiar (熟悉的) with my partner. Your sisters are engaged (订婚), and there is not another woman in the room who it would not be a punishment to me to stand up with.”
“I would not be so hard to please as you do,” cried Mr Bingley, “Upon my honour, I never met with so many pleasant girls in my life as I have this evening; and there are several of them you see uncommonly pretty!”
“You are dancing with the only handsome girl in the room,” said Mr Darcy, looking at the eldest Miss Benne.
“Oh! She is the most beautiful creature I have ever seen! But there is one of her sisters sitting down just behind you, who is very pretty. Do let me ask my partner to introduce you.”
“Which do you mean?” and turning round he looked for a moment at Elizabeth, till catching her eye, he drew back his own and coldly said, “She is tolerable (可以容忍的), but not handsome enough to interest me; I am in no humour at present to give consequence (结论) to your ladies who are slighted (轻视) by other men. You had better return to your partner and enjoy her smiles, for you are wasting your time with me.”
Mr Bingley followed his advice. Darcy walked off; and Elizabeth remained with no very good feelings towards him.

Qi Haoran is a Junior One student in Harbin. He was quite busy over the past winter vacation─ not just busy with his homework. Qi, together with 10 other classmates made a volunteer group to call on people to join the Clean Your Plate Campaign.
The eleven students went to many restaurants and told people the importance of saving food. “Excuse me, do you know that 950 million people around the world still haven’t got enough to eat? Please don’t waste food.” “Nearly 100 million people only earn about 865 yuan a year in China. They even cannot afford a cup of tea.” They would say this kind of thing hundreds of times every day.
The Clean Your Plate Campaign began on the Internet in January this year. It calls on people to reduce food waste.
China in recent years has experienced serious problems with wasted food. CCTV reported in January that the food Chinese people waste every year is enough to feed 200 million people for a year.
Chinese people are well known for being hospitable (好客的) and generous. Many even feel that they lose face if their guests have eaten up all the food.
Luckily, the campaign has got the support of many people. In a restaurant in Xinjiang, the owner will give the guests who have eaten all that they ordered a sticker. People can enjoy a free meal when they have 10 stickers. More than 750 restaurants in Beijing have begun to offer smaller dishes and encourage their guests to take leftovers (剩饭剩菜) home. Cheng guangbiao , a very famous person not only wanted to rename himself Cheng guangpan, which means “Clean Your Plate”, but also took his staff to some restaurants to eat leftovers. More and more customers are willing to wrap up their leftovers to take home.
To reduce food waste is a big task and it needs time. It’s important for everyone to do their bit, just like Qi. Did you finish your meals today?

You may have heard of the famous saying，“East or West，home is the best.” What does the word “home” mean to you? How do you say the word in French? In Chinese? In your language? Although people usually know what the word means，it sometimes has no exact translation. It’s not surprising，because the idea of home is different from country to country，and from person to person. A home is more than a roof and four walls. It’s the cooking，eating，talking，playing and sleeping that go on inside. And at home you usually feel safe and relaxed.
Homes look different in different countries. They also have different things inside. For example，in cold northern Europe，there’s a fire in the living room or kitchen and all the chairs face it. In the south，where the sun shines a lot and it’s more important to keep the heat out，there are small windows and cool stone floors.

What do you see when you look at abstract(抽象) art？Does it make sense to you? Does it look like anything? Is it supposed to?
Abstract art became popular in the early 20th century. Artists did not want to paint, draw, or sculpt things exactly(确切地) like they looked. They didn’t want their art to be realistic. They were more interested in basic shapes and colours.
Picasso is probably the most famous of these artists. He painted and drew in many, many styles. Sometimes he used a lot of blue colours(his “blue period”). Later, he used more red and pink colours (his “rose period”). Many of his other paintings are called “cubist(立体画派)” because they are made of painted squares.
After a long time, Picasso’s paintings became more and more abstract. He painted people and things using strange shapes. His work was so original; many of his fellow artists didn’t understand it.
Kandinsky, another famous artist, used lines, shapes, and patterns to paint his subjects. His paintings also used strong colours to express feelings.
Other artists like the surrealists(超现实主义者)， were interested in subconscious(潜意识). Painters like Breton and Magritte used many symbol in their work. The meaning or subject of their work wasn't always clear. Dali, another surrealist artist, painted pictures that look like dreams.
There are still many abstract artists around the world. That's the way many artists prefer. They want each person to look at art and find their own meaning in it.

“Listen, if it isn’t enough, I can try and get some more. Just tell me how much it costs.”
A well-dressed man heard it and asked, “What kind of a miracle does your brother need?”

A woman repeated a bit of gossip (流言) about a neighbor. Within a few days the whole neighborhood knew the story. The neighbor was deeply hurt. Later the woman responsible for spreading the gossip learned that it was completely untrue. She was very sorry and went to a wise old man to find out what she could do to repair the harm.

A mother wanted to encourage her son to play the piano. She bought tickets to the concert of a great pianist. When they arrived at the theater, the mother found a friend. She stopped to talk to her friend and her son ran off.
At eight o’clock, the lights began to dim (变暗), and the concert was going to start. The mother began to look for the boy. Then, she saw her 6-year-old son on stage (舞台). He was on the piano bench playing Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star.
The mother was very shocked. Before she could get her son back, the famous pianist himself was on the stage and quickly moved to the piano.
“Don’t stop. Keep playing,” he said kindly to the boy. The great pianist reached down with his left hand and began filling in the bass (低音部) part of the song. Soon, his right arm reached around the other side and played a beautiful piece of music. Together, the two impressed people with their beautiful music.

Different weather makes people feel different. It influences health, intelligence(智力) and feelings.
　　In August, it is very hot and wet in the southern part of the United States. People there have heart trouble and other kinds of health problems during this month. In the Northeast and the Middle West, it is very hot at some times and very cold at other times. People in these states(州) have more heart trouble after the weather changes in February or March.
　 The weather can also influence intelligence. For example, in a 1983 report by scientists, IQ(智商) of a group of students was very high when a very strong wind came, but after the strong wind, their IQ was 10% lower. The wind can help people have more intelligence. Very hot weather, on the other hand, can make it lower. Students in many schools of the United States often get worse on exams in the hot months of the year (July and August).
　　Weather also has a strong influence on people’s feelings. Winter may be a bad time for thin people. They usually feel cold during these months. They might feel unhappy during cold weather. But fat people may have a hard time in hot summer. At about 18℃, people become stronger.
　 Low air pressure(气压) may make people forgetful(健忘). People leave more bags on buses and in shops on low-pressure days. People feel best at a temperature of about 18℃.
Are you feeling sad, tired, forgetful, or unhappy today? It may be the weather’s problem.
60.What can cause problems on health？
A. Hot and wet weather B. A strong wind C. Warm weather D. Low air pressure
61.A report shows that people may have more intelligence when ______ comes.

【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。
HIGH (Human Growth Hormone) could be the favorite drug at the next athletic world championships, and we might never know it. It is a natural substance(物质) produced by the human body, and it helps children’s bones and muscles(肌肉) to grow. Scientists are allowed to make the drug and it is also legal to take HGH in most countries. HGH is considered a wonder drug for children. It helps many children with growth problems every year.
However, some athletes are now taking the drug. HGH helps add muscle in adults and recent research by the World Anti-Doping Agency shows that HGH may improve the sportsman’s time by 5% when he takes part in short, fast races. Some athletes say that HGH surely makes them stronger. It also helps them to recover(恢复) more quickly from injuries.
Although it is banned by most professional sports, HGH is almost impossible to test for. The drug is completely natural and it will only show in tests for around 24 hours after taking it. Testing is usually done only during competitions, but athletes use HGH during training, so it is very difficult to know who has used the drug. This makes it very attractive for some athletes. Scientists are developing a new test which will find the drug in the body for up to two weeks. But it isn’t going to be easy. Everybody has different levels of natural HGH in their body.
For this reason, scientists are warning athletes of the possible problems with the drug. Research shows that HGH increase the risk of cancer. But is this enough to stop athletes from taking it? Scientists don’t think so. Some athletes will do all they can to win, and worry about their health later.
1. Which of these statements is WRONG?
A. HGH is a natural substance.
B. HGH is needed to help bones and muscles grow.
C. HGH is used as medicine for children.
D. HGH is not allowed to be produced in many countries.
【答案】D
【考点】细节理解题
【解析】 从第一段当中"Scientists are allowed to make the drug and it is also legal to take HGH in most countries.",可以推断出选D是不符合文意的。
2. The second paragraph tells you that ____.
A. some athletes believe HGH can help them do better.
B. HGH is mainly taken by some scientists.
C. research shows that HGH is effective in 5% of athletes.
D. HGH doesn’t have any effect on performance.
【答案】A
【考点】细节理解题
【解析】 从第二段中的 "Some athletes say that HGH surely makes them stronger. It also helps them to recover(恢复) more quickly from injuries."得知运动员认为HGH是可以让他们变得更强壮，并且让他们更快的恢复伤口，可以得出答案是A。
3. Besides making them stronger, why is taking HGH attractive for some athletes?
A. Because it can be taken during a competition.
B. Because it is very difficult to test.
C. Because it is allowed to take it.
D. Because it works for 24 hours.
【答案】B
【考点】细节理解题
【解析】从第三段的 "Testing is usually done only during competitions, but athletes use HGH during training, so it is very difficult to know who has used the drug. This makes it very attractive for some athletes."可以直接推断出答案为B。
4. The underlined word “banned” in the third paragraph means ____.
A. 支持 B. 赞成 C. 禁止 D. 忽视
【答案】C
【考点】词意判断题
【解析】‘banned’本身意思就是“禁止”的意思，而从第四段的 "For this reason, scientists are warning athletes of the possible problems with the drug."，可以推断出HGH应该是被禁止的，所以选C。
5. Scientists are afraid that ____.
A. some athletes will pay no attention to the dangers of using HGH.
B. there isn’t any risk of developing cancer as a result of taking HGH.
C. health problems caused by HGH will stop athletes from taking it.
D. athletes’ results are almost the same, so they want HGH to help them be the best.
【答案】A
【考点】推断题
【解析】第一，文章没有讲到athletes’ results are almost the same, so they want HGH to help them be the best.这一点；第二，最后一段集中在讲HGH有致癌风险，科学家担心运动员们为了赢得比赛会选择先赢比赛在考虑这个问题。

(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。
Living and dealing with kids can be a hard job these days, but living and dealing with parents can be even harder.
If I have learned anything in my 16 years, it is that communication is very important, both when you disagree and when you get along. With any relationship, you need to let other person know how you are feeling. If you are not able to communicate, you can not be close to anyone. When you are mad at your parents, or anyone else, not talking to them doesn’t solve anything.
Communication begins with the care of another. It means that you can’t just come home from school, go up to your room and ignore (不理睬) everyone. Even if you just say “Hi”, and see how their day was for five minutes, it is better than nothing. To keep a good relationship, you must keep communication strong. Let people know how you feel, even if it’s just by writing a note.
When dealing with parents, you always have to make them feel good about how they are doing as a parent. If you are trying to make them see something as you see it, tell them that you’ll listen to what they have to say, but ask them politely to listen to you. Shouting or walking away only makes the situation worse.
Here is an example: One night, Sophie went to a street party with her friends. She knew she had to be home by midnight after the fireworks, but she didn’t feel she could just ask to go home. That would be rude. After all, they had been nice enough to take her along with them. Needless to say, she was late getting home. Her parents were mad at first, but when Sophie explained why she was late, they weren’t as mad and let the incident go. Communication is the key factor here. If Sophie’s parents had not been willing to listen, Sophie would have been in a lot of trouble.
Communication isn’t a one-way deal: it goes both ways. Just remember: if you get into a situation like Sophie’s, telling the other person how you feel--listening is the key factor to communication.
42. In the writer’s opinion, dealing with parents is ________ than with children.
A. more difficult B. easier
C. more uninteresting D. more interesting
43. The main idea of the second paragraph is ________.
A. the importance of friendship
B. the importance of communication
C. to make your feeling known to others
D. the disagreement between parents and children
44. The example in this passage shows that ________.
A. Sophie is very polite to her parents
B. Sophie’s parents are willing to listen to her
C. Sophie did well in explaining her being late
D. communication is the way to solve misunderstanding
45. All the following are correct except “________”.
A. Communication is a two-way deal
B. If you are not able to communicate, walk away
C. It is better to say “Hi” to others than say nothing
D. If you don’t agree with others, you’d better let them know

【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。
Think about the different ways that people use the wind. You can use it to fly a kite or to sail a boat. Wind is one of our cleanest and richest power sources, as well as one of the oldest. Something shows that windmills(风车) began to be used in ancient Iran back in the seventh century BC. They were first introduced to Europe during the 1100s, when armies returned from the Middle East with knowledge of using wind power.
For many centuries, people used windmills to make wheat into flour(面粉) or get water from deep underground. When electricity was discovered in the late 1800s, people living in faraway areas began to use them to produce electricity. This allowed them to have electric lights and radio. However, by the 1940s when electricity was available to people in almost all areas of the United States, windmills were hardly used.
During the 1970s, people started becoming more cared about the pollution that is created when coal and gas are burned to produce electricity. People also realized that the supply of coal and gas would run out one day. Then, wind was rediscovered, though it means higher costs. Today, there is a global movement to supply more and more of our electricity through the use of wind
