When an animal help ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )s another animal，it usually gets something valuable in return. For a long time，many scientists thought that only people could act generously just because it feels good.
However，a new ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) study in Germany suggests that chimpanzees (an animal like a large monkey without a tail ) also do good things for no real reason. And so do children who are as young as 18 months of age. Maybe it is because humans and chimpanzees share an ancestor about 6million years ago.
People and c ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )himpanzees appear to develop such features without any other training，says Warneken，a scientist in Germany.
Warneken and his pa ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )rtners worked on adult chimpanzees that live on an island in the African country of Uganda. They also worked with 18-month-old children in Germany. The researchers performed three experiments on the adult chimpanzees and two experiments on the kids. In the first animal experiment，a person tried to reach his arm into a cage to get a stick，but he couldn’t reach it. A chimpanzee was in the cage，and it could reach the stick if it wanted to.
Thirty-six chimpa ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )nzees took part in this experiment one by one，and no chimpanzee saw what the other chimpanzees had done. Even though the animals hadn’t met the person before，they usually took the stick and gave it to the person. What’s more，they did this whether or not the person offered them bananas as a reward.
In a similar exper ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )iment，36 children acted in a similar way. They helped the person reach the stick，whether or not they were offered toys for their help.
Researchers did oth ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )er experiments on chimpanzees and babies. No rewards were offered in either experiment. And still，both the chimpanzees and children went out of their way to help. Still，the new study is different from earlier findings. Researchers have found that chimpanzees don’t give rewards of food to other chimpanzees，even if it costs them nothing to be generous.
26. A new study in Germany suggests that ________.
A. people also share information for good reason
B. children know something at the age of 18 months
C. chimpanzees do good things for no real reason, too
D. humans should develop their abilities 6 million years ago
27. Warneken and his partners worked with ________.
A. young chimpanzee that live on an island
B. 18-month-old children who live in Germany
C. kids who are living with adult chimpanzees
D. adult chimpanzees that live on the African mountain
28.Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage？
A. The animals hadn’t met the person before the experiments
B. No chimpanzee saw what the other chimpanzees had done
C. Chimpanzee gave the person the stick in order to get a reward
D. Thirty-six chimpanzees joined in this experiment one by one
29. In a sim ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ilar experiment，thirty-six children helped the person reach the stick ________.
A. if they were offered toys for their work
B. when they were asked to give them a hand
C. after they were ordered to act in a similar way
D. whether they were given toys for their help or not
30. From the passage we know that ________.
A. children is more generous than chimpanzees in some ways
B. chimpanzees will reward good food to other chimpanzees
C. both chimpa ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )nzees and children can find their way to help others

You may have been to ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ld before not to be afraid of anything. Fear is often associated with weakness. Fear is something to be avoided.
But that’s not tr ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ue, according to Time For Kids magazine. Fear can be good for us.
Fear tells us abo ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ut danger. Without fear, we wouldn’t know to run away from a tiger or step back from a cliff (悬崖).
In a study pub ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )lished in the Justice Quarterly journal in August, researchers from Michigan State University said that a healthy fear of crime keeps teenagers away from potentially dangerous people, places, and activities.
Fear makes us ju ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )mp, scream and sweat. But interestingly, sometimes we make ourselves feel fear on purpose. Think about scary（可怕的） books and movies, and also the long lines for a scary roller coaster ride.
Margee Kerr, a US sociologist, explained why to Time For Kids.
Fear fills our bra ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )in with healthy chemical substances (化学物质), especially endorphins (内啡肽) and dopamine (多巴胺), and these things create feelings of happiness and excite us, according to Kerr.
In addition, when ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )you’re scared, your body produces a chemical which helps people bond with each other.
“Watch people wal ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )king out of a haunted house, and you’ll see lots of smiles and high fives,” Kerr told Time For Kids. That also explains why schools and companies organize challenging trips and physical activities to build up team spirit.
People experience ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )and deal with fear in different ways. If you happen to be a “coward” who gets scared easily, don’t worry. There is some evidence that being scared can help a person manage stressful situations.
Kerr said that th ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ings like giving a report in front of your class or performing in a school play help build a sort of endurance (忍耐力) to fear that makes us more confident.
“You become ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )more comfortable with the physical experience of fear, and so you’re better able to work through it during tense situations,” said Kerr.
So learn to l ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ove your fear. It only grows when we forget how helpful our fear is trying to be.
52. What is the passage mainly about
A. People’s misunderstandings about fear.
B. Different ways to deal with fear.
C. The benefits fear brings us.
D. A new study about fear.
53. Why is a sca ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ry roller coaster ride helpful to people according to the passage
A. It improves people’s ability to survive in the modern world.
B. It makes people less cowardly and more confident in life.
C. It causes the ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )brain to produce chemicals that make people happy and excited.
D. It teaches peop ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )le how to keep away from things that could be dangerous.
54. The underline ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )d part “bond with” in Paragraph 8 probably means ______.
A. get closer to B. fight against
C. pay attention to D. be more careful with
55. What is the right attitude toward fear according to the passage
A. Avoid being involved in scary situations.
B. Experience it as often as possible.
C. Consider it as a sign of weakness.
D. Enjoy healthy fear occasionally.

As traditional Chin ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ese art, paper cutting has a long history. The first and earliest paper cutting was found in China 1,500 years ago. But this traditional art is at risk of disappearing now. Luckily, Voyo Woo, a Chinese immigrant(移民) in America, is trying to bring this art back to life.
One Saturday in ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )2014, Ms Woo held a paper cutting show at a shopping centre near Washington. She got much fun and peace doing it. She hoped more people would enjoy it.
Ms Woo began ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) to study the art of paper cutting as a 14-year-old girl in her hometown in China. She said all the students at school had to learn paper cutting. But she had a deep love for it. So her teacher spent more time teaching her after class. Later, she won the second prize in a national painting and art competition. Ms Woo went to America after she finished college in 2008. Soon after that, she took part in an activity to promote(宣传)Chinese paper cutting. And then she was invited to show the art in many important activities. “It is important to promote this art to Americans or anyone who is interested in it. Maybe it will make this art more popular,” Woo said.
From the art of pape ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )r cutting, people can know about Chinese cultural values, history and stories of people’s life. Ms Woo uses the art as a tool to show Chinese culture to people who know little about it. Chinese art is not only for Chinese, but also for people all over the world.
41. What did Ms Woo do in 2014
A. She won the s ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )econd prize in a national painting and art competition.
B. She was invited to many activities to show paper cutting.
C. She held a pa ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )per cutting show at a shopping center near Washington.
D. She took part in an activity to promote Chinese paper cutting.
42. Ms Woo began to study the art of paper cutting _______.
A. when she was fourteen.
B. after she got to America.
C. when she was in college.
D. after she finished college.
43. In the p ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )assage, the writer thinks the art of paper cutting is ______ now.
A. very popular in America
B. very popular in China
C. for people who know about it
D. in danger of disappearing

It’s important ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )to learn things about protecting environment. Here’s a 4Rs rule for us.
●Reduce
If you want to ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )reduce waste, you should use things wisely (明智的). A large number of trees are being cut down to make paper. If everyone uses paper carelessly and then throws it away, soon we would not have any trees left. Some other things are also being wasted, and people don’t know what to do with waste in big cities, so it’s necessary to reduce waste.
●Reuse
You should always ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) think of reusing the usable (可用的) things before throwing them away. Give your clothes or things you don’t use to the poor. In a family, you may pass such clothes on to your younger brothers or sisters.
●Recycle
Bottles, cans and pa ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )per can easily be recycled. By doing so,we save lots of time and money.For example, cola cans are sent to a factory, where they’re smashed flat（压平）and smelted (熔化), and the metal things are made into new cola cans.
●Repair
If one of the le ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )gs of your table is broken, you can repair it. If you want to change for better ones, it’s better for you to sell the old ones or give them to other people who can use them after doing some repair.
44. The “Reduce” rule mainly requires us _____.
A.to use things wis ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ely B.to cut down many trees
C.to use paper carel ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )essly D.to use more and more things
45. What’s the right order of recycling cola cans
a.smash them flat b.collect the used cans
c.smelt them d.send them to a factory
A.a-b-c-d B.d-c-b-a C.b-d-a-c D.b-d-c-a
46. Which sentence is about the “Repair” rule
A.When you l ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )eave a room, turn off the lights. B.Take a cloth bag when you go shopping.
C.Don’t use plastic ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )bags. D.If your chair is broken, you can repair it.

【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。
One afternoon I tou ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )red an art museum while waiting for my husband to finish a business meeting. I was looking forward to a quiet view of the art works.A young couple ahead of me chatted nonstop between themselves. I watched them a moment and decided the wife was doing all the talk. I admired the husband’s patience for her continuous talk. Distracted(心烦意乱的) by their noise, I moved on.I met with them several times as I moved through the different rooms of art. Each time I heard herconstant words, I moved away quickly.
I was standing a ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )t the counter(收银台) of the museum gift shop when the couple came near to the exit. Before they left, the man reached into his pocket and pulled out a white object. He extended it into a long stick and then carefully went into the coatroom to get his wife’s jacket.
“He’s a brave ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) man.” The clerk at the counter said, “Most of us would give up if we were blinded at such a young age. But he made a promise that his life wouldn't change. So, as before, he and his wife come in whenever there’s a new art show.”
“But what dose he get out of the art ” I asked, “He can’t see.”
“Can’t see You'r ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )e wrong. He sees a lot. More than you or I do.” The clerk said, “His wife describes each painting so he can see it in his head.”
I learned some ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )thing about patience, courage and love that day. I saw the patience of a young wife describing paintings to a person without sight and the courage of a husband who would not allow blindness to change his life. And I saw the love shared by two people as I watched this couple walk away hand in hand.

A. to show their lo ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ve B. to enjoy paintings C. to discuss paintings D. to describe paintings

Have you ever found ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) yourself in this situation: You hear a song you used to sing when you were a child –“ a bit of memory from the past,” as we say, but it is not a distant childhood memory. The words come back to you as clearly as when you sang them all those years ago. It seems there is a scientific reason for this.
Researchers at the Uni ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )versity of Edinburgh studied the relationship between music and remembering a foreign language. They say that singing could lead to new ways to learning a foreign language. They found that remembering words in a song was the best way to remember even one of the most difficult languages.
Here is what they d ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )id in the Hungarian experiment: Researchers took 60 adults and randomly split them into three groups of 20. Then they gave the groups three different types of “listen-and-repeat” learning conditions.
Researchers had ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) one group simply speak the words. They had the second group speak the words to a rhythm, or beat. And they asked the third group to sing the words.
All three grou ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ps studied words from the Hungarian language for 15 minutes. Then they took part in a series of language tests to see what they remembered.
Why Hungarian, you as ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )k Researchers said they chose Hungarian because not many people know the language. After the tests were over, the singers came out on top.
The people who learn ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ed these new Hungarian words by singing them showed a higher performance. They did the best in four out of five of the tests. They also performed two times better than those who simply learned the words by speaking them.
21.Which of the three groups came out on top
A. the first group which simply speak the words.
B. the second group which speak the words to a rhythm, or beat.
C. the third group which sing the words.
D. the fourth group which remember the words.
22. What do you think Hungarian is
A. a teaching method. B. a kind of tool.
C. a foreign language . D. a kind person.
23. What can you know according to the article
A. a bit of memory from the past.
B. The experiment of learning Hungarian.
C. the study of researchers.
D. the relationship between music and a foreign language.

A. a distant ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) childhood memory. B. my favorite singer.

Gabi was glad she h ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ad the chance to make up the class. She can’t move on to the next level in math if she doesn’t pass algebra. Summer school isn’t easy though. Gabi has to learn the material in 6 weeks instead of the 20 she had during the regular school year.
Summer school als ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )o meant that Gabi would stay in a hot classroom while most of her friends were at the beach or parks.

In the new term, when regular classes begin again, she will try her hardest to pass. Studying hard without air conditioning in summer in a classroom while your friends are out having a good time is not fun. Summer break is not so much of a break when you have school.

A major developmen ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )t to self-driving cars may change the way we will drive in the future. Google, the leading company in self-driving technology, has changed its develop plan. It had driverless cars built by car factories, but now it will start building its own cars.
Google has star ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ted to build some kinds of experimental electric self- driving cars that look like a Smart car or Fiat 500. There is no steering wheel(方向盘)，gas pedal or brake. The only things a human passenger controls are a red “e-stop” button (按钮) for fear stops and a start button. The car’s only “friendly” face is designed to make it help people accept self-driving technology.
Google workers ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) took part in a long experiment, in which they used self-driving cars for their usual travel to work. No accident happened, but Google’s heads realized that depending on a human passenger to drive in an emergency(紧急情况) wouldn’t work because they may be reading, working , or sleeping. Now the self-driving car drives by itself if the driver takes his hands off the wheel for over ten seconds.
Google’s self-driving ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) cars are now limited (限定) to a speed of 25 miles per hour for safety reasons. The cars aren’t allowed to drive on highways. However, a Google engineer said that once the cars are solved to run safely, we can drive at the speed of 50, even 80 miles an hour.
Google recently annou ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )nced that its cars had covered 700,000 miles of public roads, and they were now running in busy city streets. People who love self-driving cars say this will improve transport by making roads safer, cutting down accident, and making less pollution.
26. What is Google’s plan about driverless cars 【原创】
A. It will have driverless cars built by car factories.
B. It will start building its own driverless car.
C. It will give up its plan to make driverless cars.
D. It will help other companies to make cars.
27. The second parag ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )raph mainly describes about ________________. 【原创】
A. Google self-driving cars B. Smart car or Fiat 500
C. a red “e-stop” button D. gas pedal or brake

A. Google didn’ t do enough experiment about the car
B. it is dangerous for a driver to drive a self-driving car
C. Google heads didn’t pay enough attention to safety
D. Google heads paid enough attention to drivers’ safety.
29. How fast can we drive a self-driving car at the moment 【原创】
A. 25 miles an hour. B. 50 miles an hour. C. 80 miles an hour. D. 100 miles an hour.

The Most Helpful ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) Invention of All Time Mary---Saturday, 4 December, 2010I am writing an article for my English class, and I need some ideas. What do you think is the most helpful invention of all time Thanks for your ideas.
RE1: The Most Helpful ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) Invention of All Time Cindy---Saturday, 4 December, 2010There are many ----the phone, the car, the plane----but they are not my choices. For an everyday and useful invention, I think it is the air conditioner. I live in Hong Kong, and during the summer, the temperature reaches 35℃ or more. It’s terrible! Without the air conditioner, people here cannot work or study. Some people would even get sick if it remained hot for several days.
RE2: The Most Helpfu ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )l Invention of All Time John---Saturday, 4 December, 2010The most useful invention of all time is the internet. We can now communicate with people and do business in a more convenient way. I have a clothes store in Tokyo. I also have a shop online. Now, people from all over the world can buy my clothes through the Internet. And I can easily keep in touch with my family in America and friends around the world. It’s faster than a regular mail, and it’s cheaper than using the phone!
RE3: The Most Helpf ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ul Invention of All Time Alice---Sunday, 5 December, 2010John, I agree---the Internet is useful. But, in my opinion, there is an invention that is more important---electricity. Of course, this isn’t a man-made invention, but without electricity, many of the world’s most important inventions would not work.
