The passenger pig ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )eon(旅鸽) used to be one of the most common birds on the earth. A century ago, they became extinct（灭绝）. Scientist Ben Novak is working to bring the birds back. Here, he explains to us why we should bring passenger pigeons back from extinct.
The passenger pig ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )eon is not the bird that you probably know. It's been gone from the world for100 years. It means that few living people have ever seen one flying in the sky.
The passenger pigeon l ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ived differently from other birds in America---in flocks(群) made up millions of birds. They darkened the sky when they flew in the air. One reason to bring passenger pigeons back to life is that it would be wonderful to see a flock that big. It would also be cool to see an extinct animal.
But it's not just abou ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )t doing something cool. Huge flocks of passenger pigeons played a key role in shaping forests. The weight of so many birds resting in the trees broke many branches（树枝）. This allowed more sunlight to reach the forest floor, which helped more plants grow.
The birds also ate a ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) large number of plants. That influenced which trees grew in the forest. If we bring back the passenger pigeon, it would play an important role in shaping forest once again.
44. Scientists Ben Novak is working to________.
A . learn more about the forest.
B. find more birds in the forest.
C. bring back the passenger pigeon.
D. Work out the number of pigeons.
45. When did passenger pigeon become extinct
A. 10 years ago. B. 50 years ago. C. 100 years ago. D. 500 years ago.
46. How did the passenger pigeon live
A. In flocks. B. In paris.
C. By resting in dark forests. D. By resting in cool places.
47. How did the passenger pigeon help forests
A. By helping more plants grow.
B. By keeping many birds away.
C. By staying on the forest floor.
D. By preventing sunlight.
44. C. 解析：细节题。由题干关键词B ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )en Novak is working to 定位到文章第一段Scientist Ben Novak is working to bring the bird back. 所以答案选C.

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。
Every year, many ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )foreign students go to America to study English. Some of them will live in an American family, but others will make a different decision. They’ll live with friends who come from their own country. I believe that if a foreign student thinks carefully about the two ways, he’ll decide to live with an American family. Even though there are one or two disadvantages to the first way, there are far more advantages.
In making his de ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )cision about how to live in the USA, the foreign student is careful to think about one or two disadvantages to live with an American family. First of all, he must know that he’s going to feel homesick(想家的) at first. Living in an American family may make this feeling become stronger. Also, the American family may do too much to take care of him. They may ask him where he’s going, when he leaves home, and when he’ll return.
If a foreig ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )n student lives in an American home, he’ll know the country and its people much better. For example, he’ll see how the parents teach their children. He’ll feel better because the American family will help him get used to a new life. In an American family, he can learn English fast. Family members can help him with his homework. When he speaks English, they can help him correct the mistakes he makes. In this way, he can learn English more easily.
Although there ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) are some disadvantages to live in an American family, there are more advantages.
根据短文内容选择最佳答案。

Mr. Flowers’ glas ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )s-houses were very near to a middle school．Boys of around thirteen of age were often tempted （引诱） to throw a stone or two at one of Mr. Flowers’ glass-houses．So Mr.Flowers did his best to be in or near his glass-houses at the beginning and end of the school day．

At last Mr. Flowe ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )rs had a good idea．He put up a large notice （布告） made of good, strong wood, some meters away from the glass-houses．On it he had written the words: DO NOT THROW STONES AT THIS NOTICE．After this, Mr. Flowers had no further trouble; the boys were much more tempted to throw stones at the notice than at the glass-houses．

Teachers, gr ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )andparents, parents and classmates, I’m very proud that I have been chosen to speak to you all today. I’m a bit nervous as I’ve never made a speech before to so many people, so please forgive me if it shows!
As we all ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) know, it’s time to say goodbye to everyone. We’re sorry to leave you at the end of our junior high school education, and we promise that we'll never forget the happy times we have spent in these buildings with you all.
Now, I’d like t ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )o thank three groups of people for the three things I’ve learnt while I’ve been a pupil at our school. The first group is my friends, and what I’ve learnt is the importance of friendship. We’ve worked hard together, we’ve even shared some difficult times together, but we’ve also had a lot of fun. Many of us will go to new schools and we may not see each other so often in the future. But friends don’t have to see each other all the time. Sometimes the friends you treasure most are the friends you see less often. A life without old friends is like a day without sunshine. We'll always stay in touch. The second group is our parents and grandparents. We thank you for the love you have shown us during our years at junior high school, for making a home where we feel both safe and relaxed. We also thank you for your help with our homework. How many of us owe our good grades to the suggestions you have made during those long evenings And finally, the third group is our teachers. We can never pay you back for your kindness, your patience, and gift of knowledge which you have offered us; sometimes you’ve made us work very hard. But you have always been fair and you’ll always be our role models. There’s a saying from Ireland which is a favorite of mine: Strangers are only friends you haven’t met yet.
I couldn’t say it ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) better myself. So from the bottom of my heart, I thank you all and wish you success for the future.
16. The speech was probably made by__________.
A. A head teacher. B. A graduate.
C. A new student. D. A school clerk.

C. kindness, p ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )atience, and happiness D. love, help and kindness
19. According to t ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )he passage, the writer feels ________ when making the speech.

What’s life ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )like on a deserted island Jeff Flake of Arizona decided to find out. The adventurous(富有冒险精神的) father went on a four-day Robinson Crusoe style holiday with his two teenage sons to a remote, uninhabited island in the North Pacific Ocean.
Jeff and his sons, 15-year-old Tanner and 13-year-old Dallin, traveled 5,200 miles from Phoenix, Arizona to the island of Biggarenn. They didn’t carry any food or water.
The island is part of the Marshall Islands. It offered no basic facilities, so the Flakes had to catch and cook their own food and purify their water. Their diet was made up of coconuts, crab and fish. They captured the crab and fish themselves and cooked the food over an open fire started with a magnifying glass(放大镜).
The Flakes brought along a lobster(龙虾) trap in hopes of having some delicious treats, but lost it within the first few hours after it was attacked by a shark. They also carried two pumps to remove salt from ocean water. It took them hours each night pumping for just a little fresh water.
One of the most memorable moments of the trip, the father said, was when he and his 15-year-old son were chased by sharks after finding a fish in the ocean.
Still, it was quite an enjoyable holiday for Jeff. “For a dad it was a wonderful thing. No video games around, no television, no distractions, no texting,” Jeff recalled.

A. playing video games B. making an open fire
C. getting fresh water D. catching fish and crab

A. Memorable, educational and boring.
B. Enjoyable, exciting and unforgettable.
C. Dangerous, difficult and helpful.
D. Wonderful ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ), different and tiring.
24. We learn from passage that Robinson Crusoe style holiday is like _______.
A. people take ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) a vacation on a place without basic living facilities
B. people take an adventurous sailing tour to a deserted island
C. people take an exciting trip to catch fish, crab and lobsters
D. people take a wonderful picnic on a deserted island

D. Jeff’s daily life is always with video games, TV and mobiles

Although people ev ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )erywhere seem to enjoy drinking coffee, they don’t all have the same coffee culture. In Europe for example, coffee shops are common places for people to meet friends and to talk while they drink coffee. On the other hand, places like this were not as common in North America in the past. Instead, people in North America liked to drink coffee in their homes with friends. The coffee culture in the USA changed when Starbucks(星巴克) coffee shops spread across the country.
The first Starbu ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )cks coffee shop opened in 1971 in downtown Seattle, Washington, in the USA. It was a small coffee shop that cooked its own coffee beans. The coffee shop’s business did well, and by 1981 there were three Starbucks stores in Seattle.
Things really began to change for the company in 1981.That year, Howard Schultz met the three men who ran Starbucks. Schultz worked in New York for a company that made kitchen equipment. He noticed that Starbucks ordered a large number of special coffee makers, which caused his great interest. Schultz went to Seattle to see what Starbucks did. In 1982, the original Starbucks owners hired Schultz as the company’s head of marketing（市场营销）.
In 1983, Schultz traveled to Italy. The special environment of the espresso (浓咖啡) bars there caught his eyes. Back in the USA, Schultz created an environment for Starbucks coffee shops that was comfortable and casual, and customers everywhere seemed to like it. Starbucks began opening more stores across the USA. Then the company opened coffee shops in other countries as well. Today, there are more than 16,000 Starbucks coffee shops all over the world.
However, that does not mean Starbucks has not had problems. In fact, many Starbucks stores have closed over the past few years. On the one hand, this is because there were too many coffee shops competing for business in one small area. On the other hand, stores in some countries closed because the coffee culture there did not match with the “feel the same everywhere” environment offered by Starbucks.
26. The underlined word “ran” in Paragraph 3 probably means “ ”.

b. Howard Schultz noticed Starbucks ordered lots of special coffee makers.
A. a-b-d-c B. c-a-b-d

Are some people born ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )clever, and others born stupid Or is intelligence (智力) developed by our environment and our experience Strangely enough, the answer to these questions is yes. In some degree, our intelligence is given to us at birth, and no education can make a talent out of a child born with low intelligence. On the other hand, a child who lives in a boring environment will develop his intelligence less than one who lives in rich environment. Therefore, the limits of person’s intelligence are fixed at birth, whether or not he reaches those limits will depend on his environment. This point of view, now is held by most experts.
It is easy to show tha ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )t intelligence is something that we are born with. The closer the blood relationship between two people, the closer they are likely to be intelligence. If we take two strangers by chance from the population, it seems that their degree of intelligence will be completely different. If, on the other hand, we compare two twins, they will very likely be as intelligent as each other. Relations like brothers and sisters, parents and children, usually have similar intelligence, and this clearly suggests that intelligence depends on birth.
Imagine now that we ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) take two twins and put them in different environments. We might send one, for example, to a university and the other to a factory separately where the work is boring. We would soon find differences in intelligence developing, and this shows that environment as well as birth plays an important role. This conclusion is also suggested by the fact that people who live in close contact (接触) with each other, but who are not related at all are likely to have similar degree of intelligence.
41. How is man’s intelligence given
A. At birth B. Through education
C. Both at ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) birth and through education D. Neither at birth nor through education
42. What does the underlined word mean in the first paragraph
A. 确定 B. 修理 C. 稳固 D. 安排
43. According the p ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )assage, if a child is born with low intelligence, what might happen to him later
A. Become a genius.
B. Still become a genius if he should be given special education.
C. Reach his intelligence limits in rich environment.
D. Never reach his intelligence in his life.
44. What can w ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )e learn from the example of the twins going to a university and to a factory
A. The im ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )portance of their intelligence. B. The role of environment on intelligence.
C. The im ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )portance of their jobs D. The part that birth plays
45. What statement is TRUE according to the passage
A. No education can help make a genius.
B. Personality is i ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )mportant as intelligence which was given to people at birth.
C. People who ha ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ve similar degree of intelligence must be relatives.
D. Environment influences people in intelligence developing.

第一部分
(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。
Kids don’t have a vo ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ice. They have no way to share their ideas. TEDx Youth is a locally organized event, where live talks and recorded videos are shared with the community(社区). TEDx Youth is always held on Children’s Day every year. It brings together big ideas from, and for kids. More importantly, it encourages kids to share their ideas with the world.
“Age is but a number. ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) You’re not too young to change the world. Planning an event alongside young people makes you realize that kids have ideas that an adult might usually not think of,” said one TEDx Youth speaker. Another speaker said, “What I have come to realize is that no matter where you live or how old you are, everyone is eager to be someone great.”
Organizing a TEDx You ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )th event shows that kids are able to do much more than what’s expected. They truly take this event and make it even more than what everyone hopes it will be. “The fact that youth, just like me, had planned and run the event shocked me most,” said one volunteer. “I thought the event was surprising. I couldn’t believe that kids of my age made the event happen.”
There are sev ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )eral ways to take part in TEDx Youth. The easiest way is to become a speaker, if you think your idea is worth spreading. Another way is to attend an event. And lastly, you can become a TEDx Youth Reporter. Reporters take pictures from the event and post them on line, and send news about what is happening at event, interview some of the speakers, and write articles about the event. “It was wonderful to see how youth team members were with the whole event and how thankful they were (and still are!) to be given such an unbelievable chance as being part of a TEDx event,” said an organizer.
TEDx Youth is welco ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ming kids from every culture who want to have a deeper understanding of the world. Those who get involved with it believe in the power of ideas, which can change attitudes, lives and the world.
48. What is the main purpose of holding a TEDx Youth event
A.To give kids a ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )chance to record videos. B. To spread kids’ ideas all over the world
C. To raise money ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) for the local community D. To help kids with their schoolwork
49. What did a volunteer think of the event
A.Quite typical B. Pretty crazy C. Rather difficult D. Surprising good
50. One of a reporter’s jobs is to ____.
A.give a talk ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) B. do some interviews C. plan an event D. organize some activities
51. What is the best title of this passage
A.When Is TEDx Youth Held B. Why can Kids Realize Their Dreams
C. How Can K ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ids Share Big Ideas D. What Changes Can TEDx Youth Bring Us
C篇
解析：本篇属于说明文，主要介绍了TED ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )x Youth能够让孩子们集中交流和分享自己的观点。本篇难度较小，48、49、50题均为细节题，在文中能够直接定位出，51题属于主旨大意题，需要对文章内容有整体的理解。
B。解析：此题是细节题。通过“...the main purpose...”
定位文章第一段的最后一句话 “More ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) importantly, it encourages kids to share their ideas with the world.” 选项B中的“to spread kids’ ideas all over the world” 属于同义词替换，所以B选项正确。
49、D。解析：此题属于细 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )节题。通过“...a volunteer...”定位第三段的最后一句“I thought the event was surprising. I couldn’t believe that kids of my age made the event happen.” 可知答案为D。
50、B。解析：此题属于细节题。 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )通过题目定位第四段中间部分“Reporters take pictures from the event and post them on line, and send news about what is happening at event, interview some of the speakers, and write articles about the event.”对照四个选项可知，B选项和文中“interview some of the speakers”属于同义词替换，故B选项正确。
51、C。此题属于主旨大意题。根据 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )文章第一段和最后一段可以分析出，文章主要在介绍TEDx Youth是全世界的孩子们分享自我观点的平台，孩子们可以通过这个平台达到分享观点的目的。由此可知C选项正确。容易造成迷惑的是D选项，文中最后一段的确提及TEDx Youth可以改变观点、生活和世界，但是这并不是全文的主要内容，故排除。
