Jack thought himself a basketball fan. He watched quite a lot of American NBA basketball games. Not only did he watch them, he spent much of his free time playing on the court too. Then came the final year of his middle school. All of his regular teammates stopped showing up on the court because they were simply too busy preparing for the high school entrance exam to play. He was, of course, under much stress himself, like everyone else. A good exam result meant a good high school; a mediocre(平庸的)score meant a mediocre school.?Much was at stake. However, he loved basketball so much that he still found time to play, this time with a group of guys who were said to have skipped classes(逃课)before.
Some of his teachers started worrying about him. They asked his mother to go to school to let her know that Jack was hanging out with problem kids. When his mother returned home that day, she wanted to talk to Jack. Knowing the purpose of her visit to the school, Jack thought his mother would punish him for befriending（以朋友方式对待）?those bad guys. To his surprise, his mother was not angry with him at all. She wanted to hear her son's side of the story. So Jack told his mother about what he knew of Simon and Peter. Simon's parents were badly ill; Peter's father had lost his job. They both seemed to Jack to be normal kids. Jack's mother thought for a moment, then went on to say that she was OK with her son playing with them and that she and her son should think of ways to help these kids. Soon Jack's mum introduced some part-time jobs to Simon and Peter, which they accepted. She believed in her son and cared about those who were less lucky.
Jack's basketball friends and he have left for different places, but they still keep in touch. He knows Peter is now a manager of a local bank. Simon is currently a freshman at a university. Sadly, it is impossible to get together to play basketball again, but whenever they get on the phone, they talk about it all the time.

（2017中考选练）（教育类）阅读理解。?请认真阅读下列短文，然后从每小题所给的A、B、C、D选项四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
What do you do if you're stranded(处于困境的) on a lonely island? Surely you need to find a way to get in touch with the outside world. Your best chance of doing this is to draw the attention of a passing plane.
Body signals
??? Pilots(飞行员) from different countries understand body signals if they have the correct training. When you wave your arms up and down in a straight line, it means "yes". When you point downwards and swing your arm from side to side, it means "no". If you want the pilot to know that it's safe to land, push your hands out in front of you and bend your knees. If you want to say that it's not safe to land, put your arms in the air and move them to one side.
Smoke signals
The smoke from a fire can be seen from far away, so it's a good way to draw attention. If the weather is dry, it isn't hard to start a fire. Remember, however, that fires can be very dangerous if they get out of control. Never light a fire unless you're sure that it can't spread. If the ground is dark, light smoke can be seen more easily. Green grass and leaves produce light smoke.
Ground-to-air signals
It's a good idea to build some signals, too. Use large pieces of wood to make the symbols. If you can't find any wood, use earth. Some useful symbols are:
F "I need food and water."
II "I need medicine."
I "I am badly hurt."
X "I am unable to move from here."
Pilots' replies
??? If the pilot lowers the plane's wings from side to side, this means "message received and understood". (At night, the pilot flashes the plane's green lights.) If the pilot flies the plane in a clockwise circle, this means "message received but not understood". (At night, the pilot flashes（闪烁）?the plane's red lights.)
However, there is no signal which means "message not received". Why not?
（???）1. Which picture means "it's not safe to land"?
（???）2. What can we learn from the passage?
A. Swinging your arm from side to side means "yes".
B. If the ground is dark, light smoke can't be seen.21cnjy.com
C. If you need some medicine, make a symbol "II".
D. The pilots make replies with a blue light at night.
（???）3. What is the passage mainly about?
A. The explanation of building signals on an island.
B. The importance of making signals on an island.
C. Ways of sending out signals on a lonely island.
D. Ways of receiving signals from a lonely island.

What am I to do? At present, to prevent making his mother unhappy with an argument, I am allowing him his freedom. However, I am worried that if I keep allowing him to do what he wants, he may fail at school, or worse.

Living in the foreign culture can be exciting, but it can also be confusing. A group of Americans who taught English in other countries recently discussed their experiences . They discussed that miscommunications were always possible, even over something as simple as “yes” and “no”.
On her first day in Micronesia, an island in the Pacific, Lisa thought the waitress wasn’t paying any attention to her. The day was hot she went into a store and asked, “ Do you have any cold drinks ?” The woman there didn’t say anything. Lisa repeated the question again. Still the woman said nothing. She later learned that the woman had answered her: She has raised her eyebrows , which in Micronesia , it means, “yes”.
?Jan remembered an experience she had in Bulgaria, a country in Europe. She went to a restaurant that was known for its cabbage. She asked the writer, “Do you have cabbage today ?” He nodded his head. Jan waited, but the cabbage never came. In that country, a nod means “no”.
Tom had a similar problem when he arrived in India. After explaining something in class , he asked his students if they understood . They answered with different nods and shakes of heads. He thought some people hadn’t understood, so he explained again. When he asked again, the did the same thing. He soon found out that his students did understand.

A city without cars would be very strange, right? But Venice is such a city.
Venice?is in the northeast of Italy. It wasn’t built on land, like Beijing or Shanghai, but on more than 110 islands. Seawater is everywhere around the city.
Even so, travel isn’t difficult. The waterways have always been the best ways to get around. There are 117 waterways and more than 400 bridges that can guide you where you want to go.?People in Venice move from place to place by boat. They like to enjoy the scenery and cool summer nights while taking boat trips. They can talk to other people as they go along.2-1-c-n-j-y
Venice?grew out of small islands in saltwater lakes when some Italians escaped from a war more than 1,500 years ago, and built homes there.
Water makes the city special, but it is also a big problem.
Once, people used too much underground water. This made the city get lower little by little. Now the city has gone down by 23 centimeters. Another problem is the rising seawater. The temperature has risen over the years. This has made the ice of the Arctic Ocean (北冰洋)?melt (融化).
Every year, high waters hit the city in autumn and winter. When a lot of water comes, more than half of the city is underwater.
Scientists are trying different ways to stop the city from getting even lower.
(?? )1. Where is Venice?
A. In Italy.? ???? ??B. In Canada.? ?? C. In England.? ??? D. In America.
(?? )2. Which is the most?impossible?way for people in Venice to get around ?
A. On foot.??????? B. By car.???? C. By boat.?????? D. By bike.
(?? )3. Why is Venice still getting lower and lower?

B. Because lots of bridges have been built.
C. Because the rising temperature has made the ice melt.
D. Because the underground water is rising.
(?? )4. What seasons are dangerous for Venice because of high waters?

In the West, some people believe that personality can be predicted according to the time of the year the person was bor. From China comes the belief that the year of birth influences one’s personality. In the past century, a new belief ahs arisen: the idea that personality is related to one’s ABO blood type. People with blood type A, for example, are considered more likely to be serious, hard-working, and quiet, while people with blood type O are likely to be popular and outgoing, yet often unable to finish what they start. Though this belief continues to be strong, some people question whether it is true.
The blood-type personality theory(理论) started in Japan in 1927 when Furukawa Takehi noticed personality similarities and differences among his workers. This idea soon went out of fashion, but was brought back by a Japanese television host named Toshitaka Nomi in the 1970s. The belief is still strong in Japan and is increasingly popular in neighboring countries.?Some young Koreans have taken to the theory.?A recent study showed 76 percent of Koreans aged between13 and 64 believing in the blood-type personality connection. Though most Asians might believe in the blood-type theory, for many it seems harmless and not something to be taken too seriously.
?????? Is the belief true? The scientists in Asia largely think the belief as a modern-day superstition(迷信). Most studies have failed to find any strong connection between blood and personality. Generally, scientists are against making predictions or important decisions based on this questionable theory.
1. The writer uses blood type A and O as an example to explain ________.
?????? A. the difference between the two blood types21·世纪*教育网
?????? B. the relationship between the two blood types
?????? C. the influence of blood type on one’s behavior
?????? D. the connection between personality and blood type
2. What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 2 mean?
?????? A. They don’t believ it.
B. It was brought back by them.
?????? C. They liked and accepted it.??????
D. They stole the idea from others
3. Which of the following is true according to the passage?
?????? A. Most scientists in Asia don’t believe in the theory.
?????? B. The blood-type theory began in Japan in the 1970s.
?????? C. The blood-type personality theory is about blood type.
?????? D. People don’t change their personality to match the theory.
4. What is the best title for the passage?
?????? A. Is the blood-type theory changeable ?
B. Is the personality changeable?
?????? C. Is it in your blood????
D. Is it in you mind?

For people who are interested in space, nothing is more exciting than the idea?of life on other planets(行星). At first, when Mars showed signs of having life, everyone was excited. The idea has produced many films and stories including The Martian (《火星救援》), which shows a man tried his best to live on Mars. But would it actually be possible to live there?
?? Although the idea of living on Mars is great, the reality does not look as good. Mars does not have a friendly atmosphere (大气) for humans. There is very little oxygen (氧气) there, and because it is farther away from the sun than the earth, it is also very cold. The temperature on Mars can be -62℃on average. This is much too cold for humans.
?? However, scientists say it might be possible to live there without an atmosphere. The daytime of Mars is similar to the earth’s, which means there’s enough sunlight to grow plants inside safe buildings. However, they would have to grow in soil(土壤) from the earth. Mars does not have a strong enough atmosphere to stop the radiation (辐射) from space, which makes it dangerous to grow things in the soil.
?? Also, the radiation causes problems for our health. One way we could live with the radiation and cold temperatures would be to build homes under the ground or within the rocks on the planet. These would give humans the heat and protection the planet doesn’t have.
?? Although it’s a long time before we would be able to live on Mars, NASA is hoping to make some progress within the next 20 years.
(?? )1. The writer mentioned “The Martian” in Paragraph 1 ______________?
?????? A. to introduce the topic of living on Mars.
?????? B. to tell readers something about the film.
?????? C. to explain the development of the film-making business.
?????? D. to show people’s knowledge of Mars.
(?? )2. Which of the following about Mars is NOT true?
?????? A. Its atmosphere is not good for humans.
?????? B. It has little oxygen.
?????? C. It’s colder than the earth.
?????? D. It’s closer to the sun than the earth is.
(?? )3. It is possible to grow plants on Mars because ________________
?????? A. there is enough sunlight.
?????? B. the soil is good on Mars.
?????? C. it has a good underground atmosphere.
?????? D. its temperature changes very little.
(?? )4. The main idea of the whole passage is ________________

There are many things we need to know that we do not learn at school. For example, if we want to use money wisely, we need to shop carefully. We need to know how to compare the prices of things in different shops. We need to be able to compare the quality of different brands(品牌)when we shop.
Knowing how to make such choices is a “life skill”, and we need these skills if we are to live useful and happy lives.
Some of these choices are small. For example, will I take an apple for lunch or a pear? Will I go to school by bus or on foot? Will I wear the red T-shirt or the blue one to the movies? Other choices are more important. For example, will I eat healthy food for lunch or will I eat junk food because it is tastier? Will I work hard in all my classes or will I only work hard in the classes I enjoy? We make choices like this every day.
We have to realize that the choices we make can affect the rest of our lives. Just as importantly, our choices can also affect other people. The next time you decide to waste time in class, play a joke on someone or talk loudly at the movies, think about this: Who else does your choice affect?

“Let’s go to the fair, Matt.” his wife said, “We haven’t been anywhere for a long time.” Matt thought about this for a while. He knew he would have to spend money at the fair. At last he said, “All right, but I’m not going to spend much money we’ll look at things, but we won’t buy anything.”
They went to the fair and looked at all the things to buy. There were many things Matt’s wife wanted to buy, but he would not let her spend any money.

In America, most school students enjoy their weekends in the Students Activity Centre. There are a lot of interesting things they can do. For example, they often go to the sports club in the centre. There they can enjoy playing all kinds of ball games with their friends. Sometimes they go to the theatre or the swimming pool with their family members. Camping and boating are also students’ favorites.

There are many wetlands（湿地）in China and some of them have become the world’s important wetlands. The Chinese Yellow Sea Wetlands are among them. They are in Yancheng, Jiangsu Province. They are home for many different kinds of birds and
(milu deer)??animals. The world’s largest Milu Deer Nature Reserve（自然保护区）in them. More than 700 milu deer live freely there. There are not many red-crowned cranes in the world, but every winter you can see some in the Red-Crowned Cranes Nature Reserve in the Yellow Sea Wetlands.
The temperature in the wetlands is usually neither too high nor too low. There is a lot of rain and sunshine, too. They are really good places for wildlife(野生生物).
