【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。
Edith Cavell ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )was born in a little English village. She was a clever, hard-working girl and did well at school, especially in music and French. After she left school, her first job was to take care of the children of a rich family in Belgium. The language they spoke was French, so she found that her school studies were useful. She could understand them easily, at the same time she taught the children to speak English and play the piano.
After hearing that ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )her father was seriously ill, Edith returned home to look after him. She then decided to become a nurse. Afterwards for five years she worked in an English hospital where she proved to be highly professional at her job. A Belgian doctor was so impressed that he invited her to his country to organize a training school for nurses. The First World War broke out in 1914 and Edith Cavell’s school of nursing became a hospital. She stayed there to look after the sick and wounded soldiers. Edith treated them with kindness. Between November 1914 and August 1915 she secretly helped about 200 wounded soldiers and prisoners escape from the Germans. Later the German army found out what Edith had done and they arrested her.

I think the most ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )terrible thing in life for my little brother is getting up in the morning. He is almost sick when my mother calls, "Herbert! It's seven o'clock! Get up!"

But he just sl ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )eeps. After calling a few more times my mother has to come upstairs and pull Herbert out of bed. It's that way every day with my little brother. Perhaps some day he'll learn to get up on time, but I really don't think so.

Paul smiled a l ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ittle．He thought he knew what the boy wanted．He wanted to show his neighbours that he could ride home in a big car. But Paul was wrong again. “Will you stop where those two steps are？” the boy asked．
He ran up to the ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) steps. Then in a short while Paul heard him coming back, but he was not coming fast. He was carrying his little crippled brother. He sat him down on the step and pointed to the car.
“There she is, Buddy, ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )just like I told you upstairs. His brother gave it to him for Christmas and it didn't cost him a cent. And some day I'm going to give you one just like it…then you can see for yourself all the nice things in the Christmas windows that I've been trying to tell you about.”
Paul got out and ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )lifted the boy to the front seat of his car. The shining-eyed older brother climbed in beside him and the three of them began an unforgettable holiday ride.

Do you want to li ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ve a happier, less stressful life Try laughing for no reason at all. That’s how thousands of people start their day at Laughter Clubs around the world.
The first Laught ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )er Clubs was started in Mumbai, India, in 1995, by Dr Madan Kataria. “Children laugh about 300 times a day. Adults laugh between 7 and 15 times a day,” says Dr Kataria. “Everyone’s naturally good at laughing – it’s the universal（共同的） language.” There are now more than 500 Laughter Clubs India and over 1,300 worldwide.

So what happens at ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )a Laughter Club I went along to the nearest club in the south of London to find out.

Although we couldn’t tell the differences between fake laughter and real laughter, they still produced the same healthy effects.
Surprisingly, it ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )worked! After ten minutes, everybody there was laughing for real and some people just couldn’t stop! At the end of the class I was shocked by how relaxed and comfortable I felt. So if you’re under stress, then start laughing.

Do you know why differ ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ent animals or pests have their special colours Colours in them seem to be used mainly to protect themselves.
Some birds like eating locusts(蚱蜢)，but birds cannot easily catch them. Why It is because locusts change their colours together with the change of the colours of crops. When crops are green, locusts look green. But as the harvest time comes, locusts change to the same brown colour as crops have. Some other pests with different colours from plants are easily found and eaten by others. So they have to hide themselves for lives and appear only at night.
If you study the animal life, you’ll find the main use of colours is protecting themselves. bears, lions and other animals move quietly through forests. They cannot be seen by hunters. This is because they have the colours much like the tree.
Have you ever noticed an even more strange act A kind of fish in the sea can send out a kind of very black liquid(液体) when it faces danger. While the liquid spread over, the enemies cannot find it. And it immediately swims away. So it has lived up to now though it isn’t strong at all.

Now satellites are hel ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ping to forecast(预报) the weather. They are in space, and they can reach any part of the world. The satellites take pictures of the atmosphere (大气), because this is where the weather forms (形成). They send these pictures to the weather stations. So meteorologists(气象学家) can see the weather of any part of the world. From the pictures, the scientists can often say how the weather will change.
Today, nearly ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) five hundred weather stations in sixty countries receive satellite pictures. When they receive new pictures, the meteorologists compare them with earlier ones. Perhaps they may find that the clouds have changed during the last few hours. This may mean that the weather on the ground may soon change, too. In their next weather forecast, the meteorologists can say this.
So the weather satelli ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )tes are a great help to the meteorologists. Before satellites were invented, the scientists could forecast the weather for about 24or 48 hours. Now they can make good forecasts for three or five days. Soon, perhaps, they may be able to forecast the weather for a week or more ahead (提前).
1. Satellites travel __________.
A. in space B. above space C. above the ground D. in the atmosphere
2. Why do we use ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )the weather satellites to take pictures of the atmosphere？Because _______.
A. clouds form there B. the weather forms there
C. the weather sate ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )llites can do it easily D. the pictures can forecast the weather
3. Meteorologists forecast the weather _______.
A. without studying satellite pictures
B. before they receive satellite pictures
C. when they have received satellite pictures
D. after they have com ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )pared the new satellite pictures with the earlier ones
4. Maybe we’ll soon be able to forecast the weather for _________.
A. one day B. two days
C. five days D. seven days or even longer
5. The main idea of ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) this passage is that satellites are now used in __________.
A. taking pictu ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )res of the earth B. receiving pictures of the atmosphere
C. weather forecasting D. doing other work in many ways

These two letters app ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )eared in a newspaper. Both writers have their own ideas on zoos.
Zoos Do a Good JobIt is good to ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) keep animals in zoos. I know a lot people think it is wrong to keep animals in zoos. However, I believe that zoos have many good points. Firstly, zoos are ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) places for people to see many different kinds of animals from all over the world. Without zoos, most people would never see a real bear or tiger.Secondly, zoos ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )look after the animals very well. The animals are always given food and cleaned regularly(定期). In the wild(荒野), it is not always possible for an animal to find food, so sometimes it goes hungry. But animals kept in zoos never go hungry. Thirdly, zoos pro ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )tect the animals they look after. They offer them safe places to live in. In the wild, some kinds of animals are in danger of becoming extinct(灭绝). But zoos give these animals a chance to live. Without zoos, there would be fewer kinds of animals in the world. Maria Smith
Zoos Are UnnaturalIn Maria’s letter, she ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) says that zoos are good for animals. I am afraid that zoos are not good for animals, and they are only good for people. It is unnatur ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )al(非自然的) and unfair(不公平的) to keep wild animals in cages that are too small for them. In the wild, these animals would travel freely. In zoos, they can’t do this. This is why the bears and tigers look so sad. Most cages are not ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )very clean either. It is true that zoos give the animals food regularly, but this is not natural. Wild animals are used to looking for their own food. We should treat(对待) animals in the same way that we treat other people－with respect(尊重).Would anyone ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )be happy if you don’t let him go outside his home Would Maria like to have lots of people standing outside her house looking at her No, she wouldn’t. Any animals don’t like it either. Philip Black
1. Maria and Phil ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ip have quite different ideas on keeping animals in zoos.
2. In Maria’s opinion ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )(观点), a real bear or tiger can only be seen in zoos.
3. Maria thinks that animals live better in zoos than in the wild.
4. According to ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )Philip, if cages are big and clean enough, tigers and bears will look happy.
5. Maria and Philip ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )are discussing how to make animals in zoos happy.

When Anna first c ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ame to Beijing, she couldn’t speak any Chinese, and she knew very little about China. She couldn’t use chopsticks. For the first two or three weeks, she had to take a fork and a spoon with her when she went to eat in a restaurant. But now, with the help of her friends, she can use chopsticks very well.
Food was a big ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )problem, too. It took her a few weeks to get used to Chinese food. She didn’t really like it at first. She thought it was too oily(油腻的). However, she doesn’t eat much rice. She usually eats bread and her bread is quite different from most bread in China. Chinese bread is usually light and sweet. She can’t eat bread like that, so in Beijing, she makes her own bread at home. After she’d been in Beijing for about a month, she found out that there lots of restaurants. Some of them serve food which is very similar to the food she eats . So now her food problems are solved.

Country musi ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )c is one of the most popular kinds of music in the United States today because it is about simple but strong human feelings and events - love, sadness, good times and bad times. It tells real-life stories and sounds in the way people really talk. As life becomes hard for us, it is good to hear music about ordinary people.
Country music, sometimes called country-western music, comes from two kinds of music. One is the traditional music of the people in the Appalachian Mountains in the eastern United States. The other is traditional cowboy music from the west. The singers usually play the guitars, and in the 1920s they started using electric guitars.
At first ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )city people said country music was low class. It was popular mostly in the South. But during World War II, thousands of Southerners went to the Northeast and Midwest to work in the factories. They took their music with them. Soldiers from the rest of the country went to army camps in the South. They learned country music. Slowly it became popular all over the country.
Today country music is also popular everywhere in the United States and Canada, in small towns and among towns and in New York City, among black and white, and among educated and uneducated people. About 1200 radio stations broadcast country music twenty-four hours a day. English stars sing it in British English, and people in other countries sing it in their own languages. The music that started with cowboys and poor Southerners is now popular all over the world.

【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。
Is there int ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )elligent(有智力的) life on other planets(行星) For years, scientists said “No.” or “We don’t know.” But today this is changing. Seth Shostak and Alexandra Barnett are astronomers(天文学家). They believe intelligent life exists somewhere in the universe. They also think we will soon contact these beings (人;生物) .
Why do Shostak and ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )Barnett think intelligent life exists on other planets The first reason is time. Scientists believe the universe is about 12 billion years old. “This is long enough for other planets to have intelligent life,” say Shostak and Barnett .The second reason is size—the universe is huge. “Tools like the Hubble Telescope(哈勃望远镜) have shown that there are at least 100 billion galaxies(银河系),” says Shostak. “And our galaxy, the Milky Way, has at least 100 billion stars. Some planets going around these stars might be similar to Earth.”
In the past, it was ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) hard to look for signs of intelligent life in the universe. But now, powerful telescopes(高倍望远镜) allow scientists to discover smaller planets—the size of Mars or Earth—in other solar systems(太阳系). These planets might have intelligent life.
Have beings from ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )space already visited Earth “Probably not.” says Shostak. “It’s a long way away. However, intelligent beings may contact us in other way, such as radio signals(信号)”. In fact, they may be trying to communicate with us now, but we don’t have the right tools to receive their messages. However, this is changing. By 2025, we could make contact with other life forms in our universe and we might help each other.
( ) 56. Seth Shostak and Alexandra Barnett are .
A. astronomers B. farmers C. singers
( ) 57. What is the best title for Paragraph 2
A. The Age and Size of Earth B. Why Intelligent Life Might Exist
C. Earth: The Only Planet with Intelligent Life
( ) 58. Why was i ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )t hard to look for signs of intelligent life in the universe in the past
A. There were not ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )any smaller planets. B. There were not any powerful telescopes.
C. The Milky Way didn’t exist at that time.
( ) 59. Why have ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )n’t beings from space visited us yet according to Shostak
A. They’re afraid of us. B. It’s a long way away.
C. They don’t know how to use radio signals.
( ) 60. What ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) does the underlined phrases “life forms” in the last paragraph mean
A. Messages B. Tools C. Intelligent beings

They are strong and ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) dangerous animals. But now they are in danger.
In the past, there were eight kinds of tigers in the world. But during the 20th century, only five were left. The number of Siberian tigers (东北虎) was about 300, but now it is less than 22. They’re in danger of dying out. If the government does nothing, we won’t be able to see them in ten to twenty years.
In order to stop people from hunting and killing wild tigers, and in order to make wild tigers more, the World Wildlife Fund (世界自然基金会) has started a program (项目) recently (最近). China and twelve other countries joined it.
However, it’s not enough. Remember that nature is a food chain (链). If we hurt and kill too many wild deer and pigs, wild tigers will die out because of hunger (饥饿). So the most important thing is to save the animals that tigers eat. In order to protect the wild tigers, we need call on (号召) more people to stop eating, hunting and killing wild animals.

These two letters a ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ppeared in a newspaper. Both writers have their own ideas on zoos.
Zoos Do a Good JobIt is good to keep ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )animals in zoos. I know a lot people think it is wrong to keep animals in zoos. However, I believe that zoos have many good points. Firstly, zoos are pl ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )aces for people to see many different kinds of animals from all over the world. Without zoos, most people would never see a real bear or tiger.Secondly, zoos look af ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ter the animals very well. The animals are always given food and cleaned regularly(定期). In the wild(荒野), it is not always possible for an animal to find food, so sometimes it goes hungry. But animals kept in zoos never go hungry. Thirdly, zoos prot ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ect the animals they look after. They offer them safe places to live in. In the wild, some kinds of animals are in danger of becoming extinct(灭绝). But zoos give these animals a chance to live. Without zoos, there would be fewer kinds of animals in the world. Maria Smith
Zoos Are UnnaturalIn Maria’s letter, ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )she says that zoos are good for animals. I am afraid that zoos are not good for animals, and they are only good for people. It is unnatural(非自然的 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )) and unfair(不公平的) to keep wild animals in cages that are too small for them. In the wild, these animals would travel freely. In zoos, they can’t do this. This is why the bears and tigers look so sad. Most cages are no ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )t very clean either. It is true that zoos give the animals food regularly, but this is not natural. Wild animals are used to looking for their own food. We should treat(对待) animals in the same way that we treat other people－with respect(尊重).Would anyone be ha ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ppy if you don’t let him go outside his home Would Maria like to have lots of people standing outside her house looking at her No, she wouldn’t. Any animals don’t like it either. Philip Black
1. Maria and Philip ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) have quite different ideas on keeping animals in zoos.
2. In Maria’s ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )opinion(观点), a real bear or tiger can only be seen in zoos.
3. Maria thinks that animals live better in zoos than in the wild.
4. According ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )to Philip, if cages are big and clean enough, tigers and bears will look happy.
5. Maria and Philip a ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )re discussing how to make animals in zoos happy.
