In Britain, Boxing Day is usually celebrated on December 26th，which is the following day after Christmas Day.However，strictly speaking, Boxing Day is the first weekday after Christmas.Like Christmas Day, Boxing Day is a public holiday.This means it's a non?working day in the whole of Britain.When Boxing Day falls on a Saturday or Sunday，the following Monday is the public holiday.
The exact origin(起源)of the holiday is unclear.One of the thoughts is that during the Middle Ages，when great sailing ships were setting off to discover new land，a Christmas Box was placed by a priest (神父)on each ship.Those sailors who wanted to ensure a safe return would drop money into the box.It was sealed_up and kept on board until the ship came home safely.Then the box was handed over to the priest in the exchange for the saying of a mass of thanks for the success of the sailing.The priest wouldn't open it to share the contents with the poor until Christmas.
One more thought is about the“Alms Box”placed in every church on Christmas Day.Worshippers (做礼拜的人)put gifts for the poor into it.These boxes were always opened the day after Christmas，that is why that day became known as Boxing Day.
Today，many businesses，organizations and families try to keep the traditional spirit of Boxing Day alive by donating(捐赠)their time，services and money to aid Food Banks，providing gifts for the poor，or helping families in need.Besides，spending time with family and shopping are popular Boxing Day activities now.
( )6.If Christmas Day is on a Saturday，Boxing Day will be celebrated on______.
A．December 25th B．December 26th
C．December 27th D．December 28th
( )7.Sailors dropped money into the Christmas Box in order to______.
A．save the poor B．pay for the priest
C．discover new land D．pray for sailing safely
( )8.The underlined phrase sealed up probably means “______”in the passage.
A．密封 B．悬挂
C．归还 D．传递
( )9.The following activities can show the traditional spirit of Boxing Day EXCEPT______.
A．offering gifts to the poor B．supporting families in need
C．spending time with family D．giving money to aid Food Banks

There have always been a lot of commonly believed but false(虚假的) ideas about being fat and doing exercise. Some people believe that they can't help putting an weight as they get older, while others hold that if they stop exercising, their muscles(肌肉) will turn into fat. Here are some more myths.
I’ll never lose weight--I come from a fat family
Wrong! While we can't change the body type we are born with, we can't blame our genes(基因) for making us fat. There's plenty of evidence that fatness runs in families, and the main reason is that they share the same habit of eating too much and exercise too little.
I am fat because I burn calories slowly
Wrong! Fatness is not caused by a slow metabolism(新陈代谢). In fact, although fat people consume(消耗)? more energy than slim people, they also fail to realize how much they eat. Keeping a diary can help you work out your daily food intake more accurately(精确地).
Exercise is boring
Wrong! Anything will become boring if you do it again and again. The key is to develop a balanced and varied(各种的) program that's fun as well as progressive(不断进步的). If you enjoy a Sunday walk, take a different mute. If you do yoga(瑜伽), try a tai chi class.
No pain, no gain
Wrong! Exercise is not meant to hurt. Indeed, pain is your body telling you something's wrong, and continuing to exercise could lead to serious injury(伤害). You may experience mild discomfort as you begin to exercise regularly, but this is your body adapting to the positive changes in your lifestyle and the aches should disappear quickly. If they don't, rest and ask for medical advice.
1. What does the writer think about being fat?
?? A. It is the family genes that make people fat.
?? B. People are fat because they consume too little energy.
?? C. A diary of exercise can prevent people from becoming fat.
?? D. It is the result of people's unbalanced lifestyle.
2. According to the writer, how can we make exercise more interesting?
?? A. By taking all kinds of exercise.????? ?????? B. By choosing simple exercise.
?? C. By doing regular exercise.????? ???????????? D. By sticking to outdoor exercise.
3. What is the writer's opinion about "No pain, no gain" in exercising?
?? A. Keeping fit is essentially a painful experience.
?? B. Exercise should be stopped if continuous pain is felt.
?? C. Pain in exercise is a precondition(前提) for reaching your goal.
?? D. Getting used to pain leads to positive changes in your body.
4. The underlined words “adapting to” means “_______” in Chinese.
A. 适应???????????????? B.顺从???????????????????????? C. 摆脱??????????????? D. 陷入
5. What is the purpose of the passage?
?? A. To show the importance of keeping fit.
?? B. To clarify(澄清) some misconceptions(误解) about fatness and exercise.
?? C. To confirm what has long been believed about keeping fit.
D. To explain some medical facts about being fat and doing exercise.

Terrafugia Company has said that its flying car, named Transition,
has successfully finished a 37- second test flight
On March 5, 2009, at Plattsburgh International Airport in New York. It was piloted by Phil Meteer, the company's chief pilot.
Transition is a two-seat airplane that can take off and land at airports as well as drive on roads.

This could be used in hospitals to transport patients so as to avoid road traffic. It may start running on wheels, and when it gets to traffic lights it can fly overhead the lights and keeps its way forward. So it’s good news to avoid traffic problem and the traffic accidents.
But some people say this is a going airplane rather than a flying car, at least on the appearance. Anyway, we are happy for scientific-technical progress, what a fantastical world in the near future!
1. This kind of new machine is made by ______.
A. Phil Meteer B. Terrafugia Company

For several years, Americans have enjoyed tele-shopping?watching TV and buying things by phone. Now tele-shopping is starting in Europe(欧洲). In a number of European countries, people can turn on their TVs and shop for clothes, jewelry, food, toys, and many other things.
Tele-shopping is becoming popular in Sweden, for example. The biggest Swedish company sells different kinds of things on TV in 15 European countries, and in one year it made ＄100 million. In France there are two tele-shopping channels, and the French spend about ＄20 million a year to buy things through those channels.
In Germany, until last year tele-shopping was only possible on one channel for 1 hour every day. Then the government allowed (允许) more tele-pshopping. Other channels can open for tele-business, including(包括) the largest American tele-shopping company and a 24－hour tele-shopping company. German businesses are hoping this new tele-shopping will help them sell more things.
Some people like tele-shopping because it allows them to do their shopping without leaving their homes. With all the problems of traffic in the cities, this is an important reason. But at the same time, other Europeans do not like this new way of shopping. They call tele-shopping “junk (垃圾)on the air”. Many Europeans usually worry about the quality (质量) of the things for sale on TV. Good quality is important to them, and they believe they cannot be sure about the quality of the things on TV.
The need for high quality means that European tele-shopping companies will have to be different from the American companies. They will have to be more careful about the quality of the things they sell. They will also have to work harder to sell things that the buyers cannot touch or see in person.
1. Tele-shopping is _____in Europe.
A. not popular B. growing C. not possible D. cheap
2. People like tele-shopping because it is _____.
A. American B. cheaper C. easier D. more popular
3. Some Europeans don't like tele-shopping because they _____ .
A. don't like to buy things B. don't watch TV
C. believe the things sold on TV are expensive D. think the things sold on TV are bad quality
4. In Germany, tele-shopping may _____ .
A. help businessmen get more money
B. keep the shops open longer C. have fewer buyers D. bring better TV programs
5. The best title of this passage is _____ .
A. American Tele-shopping B. Tele-shopping Companies
C. Tele-shopping in Europe D. Tele-shopping — Junk on the Air

There are quite a few advantages of wearing school uniforms. The idea may seem disagreeable at first, but thinking all the positive effects coming from wearing uniforms, you would be more likely to enjoy them.
Teachers love school uniforms because they help provide an orderly learning environment for students. Having students dressed in uniforms may teach them how to present themselves in a neat and professional manner. It gives students the chance to learn how to dress like young ladies and gentlemen. And they can pay their attention to study rather than style.
Buying school uniforms is easy and needs less hesitation(犹豫) and thought. No matter what the school’s policies are, there are only specific essential(基本的)pieces to the wardrobe（全部衣物）that are necessary, so it won’t break the bank. A few wardrobe items can last a long time. Parents could also enjoy an easy morning, as it will take less time to choose a set of clothes for the school day.
Students wearing uniforms will feel less pressure about what to wear. Getting dressed before going to school becomes less of a chore when students are limited in their choices, so there shouldn’t be any trouble in choosing an outfit for the day or getting ready quickly. Some students may not like the lack of individuality(个性)with uniform, but some school dress rule policies may offer them the opportunities to show their unique styles.
Uniforms today are also becoming more fashionable and can be seen in many areas of pop culture. Superstars and fashion designers are using uniforms as encouragement for new looks which also interest students.
( )26. What is the main idea of the passage?
A. How to dress properly. B. The history of school uniforms.
C. The advantages of wearing school uniforms. D. How to deal with pressure in school.
( )27. Teachers think that wearing school uniforms____________.

Have you ever seen a car without a driver? It sounds crazy, but these computer-driven driverless cars will soon be filling roads near you. Companies like Google and Tesla have been designing and testing these cars, and the technology is there.
So how? The cars have sensors（感应器）all around which can find other cars and objects in the road. Road signs are read by cameras, and satellite navigation systems（卫星导航系统）are used so the car knows how to get where you want to go. All you have to do is type in the address! Finally, a central computer system takes in all the information that it receives from the sensors and cameras and works out when to speed up, stop and turn.
Sound like your idea of heaven（天堂）? Sitting back, looking out of the windows and even watching a film or reading a book while ‘driving’ would be possible with this new technology. You wouldn’t have to worry about remembering directions to where you’re going. In addition, computers would also drive more safely than people — they would obey the rules and have quicker action times when in dangerous situations.
However, there are many drawbacks of driverless cars. Computers would have difficulties making ethical（道德的）decisions: if a child ran into the road, would the computer choose to hit the child or turn suddenly and potentially kill the car’s passengers? Moreover, I personally find driving fun –I’d miss never driving a car myself. There would also be many other decisions to be made –should children, or drunk people, be allowed in a driverless car by themselves? Or would there need to be a person with a driving license in the car at all times?
I’m not certain I’d want a driverless car – but it’s only a matter of time before they’ll become more affordable and popular on our roads.
1. When using a driverless car, you need only ????.
A. read the road signs carefully????????? ? B. check the cameras
C. put the address into the computer??? D. remember the directions
2. The third paragraph mainly tells us about the ????of driverless cars.
A. instructions????????? B. standards?????????? C. advantages ???????D. tests
3. The underlined word “potentially” in Paragraph 4 means “??? “.
A. possibly????????? B. successfully???????? C. especially?????? D. naturally
4. What’s the writer’s opinion about future driverless cars?
A. They’ll cause more accidents.????????????B. They’ll be less expensive.
C. They’ll use less energy.???????????????????? D. They’ll run much faster.

I really love my job because I enjoy working with small children and like the challenges and awards from the job. I also think my work is important. There was a time when I thought I would never have that sort of career.
I wasn’t an excellent student because I didn’t do much schoolwork. In my final term I started thinking what I might do and found I didn’t have much to offer. I just accepted that I wasn’t the type to have a career.
I then found myself a job, looking after two little girls. It wasn’t too bad at first. But the problems began when I agreed to live in, so that I would be there if my boss had to go out for business in the evening. We agreed that if I had to work extra hours one week, she’d give me time off the next. But unfortunately, it didn’t often work out. I was getting extremely tired and fed up, because I had too many late nights and early mornings with the children.
One Sunday, I was in the park with the children, and met Megan who used to go to school with me. I told her about my situation. She suggested that I should do a course and get a qualification(资格证书)if I wanted to work with children. I didn’t think I would be accepted because I didn’t take many exams in school. She persuaded me to phone the local college and they were really helpful. My experience counted for a lot and I got on a part-time course. I had to leave my job with the family, and got work helping out at a kindergarten.
Now I’ve got a full-time job there. I shall always be thankful to Megan. I wish I had known earlier that you could have a career, even if you aren’t top of the class at school.
( )16. What is the author’s present job??

A Japanese toy maker says that they’ve developed a gadget（小器具）that translates dog barks （吠）into human languages and plan to begin selling the gadgets—under the name of Bowlingual—in the US pet stores and present shops this summer.
People laughed when the Japanese toy maker Takara company made the world’s first dog-human translation machine last year .But about 300,000 of them have been sold since it was on sale in Japan last year .Far bigger sales will be expected once an English language translation machine for dogs comes to America in August .The United States is home to about 67 million dogs ,more than six times the number in Japan.
“We know that the Americans love their dogs so much ,so we don’t think they’ll mind spending $ 120 on this gadget”, the Takara marketing manager said before the journalists at a meeting in Atlanta. Bowlingual ,one of US Time magazine’s coolest inventions of 2002, has two parts .A microphone is tied to the dog’s collar（项圈）and sends out sound information to the gadget held by the owner .Then the translation is done in the gadget by a database （数据库）with every kind of barks .Those barks show six feelings—happiness, sadness ,disappointment ,anger ,
declaration and desire .Each of the feelings is then translated into words like “Let’s play.” “Look at me !” or “Spend more time with me.”
Takara says it has spent millions of dollars developing the gadget .One thing that seems certain is that the markets for animal translation machines will probably be a dog’s world since Takara has no plans to develop such a gadget for cats . “They are too unpredictable （反复无常） ,”the marketing manager said.
1．The first three paragraphs of the passage mainly tell us that Bowlingual .
A．was invented in Japan B．has developed quickly
C．will be sold in America D．sells well for its price

Do you enjoy visiting a museum? Did you ever make a plan before a visit? Every museum must have something that attracts you. And there are many possible ways to enjoy yourself in a museum.
If you follow these steps below, you'll know what is worth seeing and doing, so that you can make the most of your time at the museum.
Decide what museum you will visit. There are so many different kinds of museums and you first need to find one that you like. It's easy for you to choose one and start an enjoyable visit!
Do some research online. Every museum now has a website which allows you to look through the information about it. On the website, you may look for such things as:
●The exhibits — See what is on show at the museum at all times, and what special exhibitions are held for a short time.
●The history of the museum — There will often be very interesting stories about the exhibits and the benefactors(捐赠者). That can make your visit more interesting.

●Cost，food or storage — It's important to know how much the visit will cost. You have to decide whether or not you can eat there. You might also need to find out transportation needs, as well as storage for coats, bags, etc.
Learn at least one thing on your visit. It is always good to take away something new from your visit.
Plan breaks into your visit. When you walk around, standing here and studying exhibits there, you may become very tired. So it is important to take breaks. A break is a good opportunity for you to think of what you have seen and what else you might want to do in the museum.
Take a friend or two. Visiting museums is always a lot more fun when you are with someone else. You can talk over what you're seeing. A friend also brings another way of thinking when you talk about the exhibit.

Passage B
The giraffe is the tallest modern land animal. It can be over 5.5 metres tall. Its neck alone may be 1.9metres long. Yet the giraffe has only seven bones in its neck, the same number as in the human.

You may think that sailing is a difficult sport, but it is really not hard to learn it. You do not need to be strong. But you need to be quick. And you need to understand a few basic rules about the wind.
First, you must ask yourself, “Where is the wind coming from? Is it coming from ahead or behind or from the side?” You must think about this all the time on the boat. The wind direction tells you what to do with the sail.
Let’s start with the wind blowing from the behind. This means the wind and the boat are going in the same direction. Then you must always keep the sail outside the boat. It should be at a 90° angle to the boat. Then it will catch the wind best.
If the wind is blowing from the side, it is blowing across the boat. In this case, you must keep the sail half way outside the boat. It should be at a 45° angle to the boat. It needs to be out far enough to catch the wind, but it shouldn’t flap. If it is flapping, it is probably out too far, and the boat will slow down.
Sailing into the wind is not possible. If you try, the sail will flap and the boat will stop. You may want to go in that direction. It is possible, but you can’t go in a straight line. You must go first in one direction and then in another. This is called tacking. When you are tacking, you must always keep the sail inside the boat.
Come and join us!
46. What should you consider first while sailing?
A. Sailors’ strength. B. Wave levels. C. Wind directions. D. Size of sails.
47. What does the word “It” underlined in Paragraph 4 refer to?
A. The boat. B. The wind. C. The sail. D. The angle.
48. What do you have to do when sailing against the wind?
A. Move in a straight line. B. Allow the sail to flap.
C. Lower the sail. D. Tack the boat.
49. Where can you probably find the text?
A. In a popular magazine. B. In a tourist guidebook.
C. In a physics textbook. D. In an official report.
50. What’s the main purpose for writing the passage?
A. To explain how to sail well. B. To show how to sail into the wind.
C. To encourage people to sail. D. To introduce 3 basic rules about the wind.

Passage C
A friend of mine named Paul received an expensive car from his brother as a Christmas present. On Christmas Eve when Paul came out of his office a street urchin(顽童) was walking around a shining car.“Is this your car, Paul?”he asked.
Paul answered,“Yes, my brother gave it to me for Christmas.”The boy was surprised.“You mean your brother gave it to you and it didn't cost you anything. Boy. I wish…”He hesitated(犹豫).
Of course Paul knew what he was going to wish for. He was going to wish he had a brother like that. But what the boy said surprised Paul greatly.
“I wish,”the boy went on,“that I could be a brother like that.”Paul looked at the boy in surprise, then he said again,“Would you like to take a ride in my car?”
“Oh, yes, I'd love that.”
After a short ride, the boy turned and with his eyes shining, said:“Paul, would you mind driving in front of my house?”
Paul smiled a little. 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 steps. Then in a short while Paul heard him coming back, but he was not coming fast. He was carrying his little crippled(残疾) brother. He sat him down on the step and pointed to the car.
“There she is. Buddy, 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 nice things in the Christmas window that I've been trying to tell you about.”
Paul got out and 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.
(1)The street urchin was very surprised when_______.
A.???? Paul received an expensive car B. Paul told him about the car
C.???? he saw the shining car D. he was walking around the car
(2)From the story we can see the urchin _______.
A. wished to give his brother a car B. wanted Paul's brother to give him a car
C. wished he could have a brother like Paul's D. wished Paul could be a brother like that
(3)The urchin asked Paul to stop his car in front of his house________.
A. to show his neighbours the big car B. to show he had a rich friend C. to let his brother about his wish
(4)We can infer(推断) from the story that______.
A. Paul couldn't understand the urchin B. the urchin had a deep love for his brother
C. the urchin wished to have a rich brother D. the urchin's wish came true in the end
(5)The best name of the story is ______.
A. A Christmas Present B. A Street Urchin C. A Brother Like That D. An Unforgettable Holiday Ride
解析 (1)本题考查细节理解，依据本文第二段：Paul answered,“Yes, my brother gave it to me for Christmas.”The boy was surprised.故答案选B。
(2)本题考查学生的推理判断能力，依据倒数第二段和第三段的内容，尤其是顽童对他弟弟所说的话：“And some day I'm going to give you one just like it...”故选A。
(3)本题考查学生的深层理解。Paul的种种猜想会对正确选择产生干扰。依据是本文倒数第二段的最后一句话：“Then you can see for yourself all the nice things in the Christmas window that I've been trying to tell you about.”故选D。
(4)本题考查归纳文章中心。从顽童的言行之中可以看出他对残疾弟弟有深深的爱。如：“You mean your brother gave it to you and it didn't cost you anything.”“He was carrying his little crippled brother.”故选B。
(5)本题考查概括全文主旨的能力。本文叙述了两对兄弟的关爱之情。Paul的哥哥送给他一辆小汽车作为圣诞礼物，顽童虽然没有Paul哥哥那样的经济条件，但他有着一份对残疾弟弟的深深的爱。所以A Brother Like That为最佳题目。
Passage D
Do you like to meet new people? Do you like to talk, or are you shy? Whatever your answers are, these tips can help you.
★Have some topics ready to start a conversation.
Say something about the weather or the place where you are. Talk about the weekend that people all have something to say about.
★Make the conversation interesting.
Read the latest news. Read restaurant and movie reviews. Find out about the popular music or what's new in fashion or sports.
★Be a good listener.
Keep eye contact(眼神交流) and say，“Yes.”“Hmm，”“Uh?huh，”“Right，” and “I know.” And say, “Really? That's interesting.” It encourages people to talk.
★Don't be boring.
Don't just say, “Yes” or “No” when you answer a question. Give some interesting information, too.
★Don't talk all the time.
Ask, “How about you？” and show you are interested in the other person, too. People love to talk about themselves!
★Ask information questions.
Ask questions like “What do you do in your free time？” or “What kind of food do you like？” Use follow?up questions to keep the conversation going. But don't ask too many questions, or it will be an interrogation!

Those negative comments can sound impolite. And if you don't want to answer a personal question, simply say, “Oh, I'm not sure I can answer that, ”or “I'd rather not say that.”

Passage E
My husband is not a big fan of kids, especially those without manners and those who misbehave.
One of our neighbors has 3 children and the oldest is Jacob. He was 5 at the time. For some reason, he took a liking to my husband. Every time he saw him, Jacob would wave, rush across the street and come to visit. Jacob would always ask so many questions. They would ride bikes together. They really seemed to get along well.
My husband had a sick cat that died at that time. It literally broke his heart and he grieved deeply for so long that even I was getting worried about him. He had no energy, cried and even give up his bike riding.
Five-year-old Jacob immediately noticed and asked me what was wrong. I told him about the loss of our cat and how my husband didn’t want to ride, or visit his friends. Jacob listened carefully without a word and ran back home.
The next day, the door bell rang. There was Jacob and his mom with a huge plate of homemade chocolate cookies. On top of that, Jacob had a huge paper card in his hand. Jacob’s mom explained, “Jacob came home yesterday and told me about your husband’s situation. He wanted to do something immediately to cheer him up and asked me to help him make chocolate cookies with the material left at home.” Jacob also asked his mom to write down a message on a piece of paper so he could copy it in his own handwriting. He drew a picture of my husband and the cat on the card and signed his name.
I gave him a hug before he ran off to find his friend and present his gift. After they left, I noticed tears in my husband’s eyes. Five-year-old Jacob’s thoughtfulness left a great impression on him.

Passage B
On a hot African morning, Leila was lying on her stomach and an elephant was walking towards her. Leila waited. Then she pushed the button on her camera. “And I got my best photo of an elephant ever, by lying under my car,” Leila explained. “I wanted to get close to the elephants, but of course this was of dangerous; they had their babies with them. So every morning I used to park my car in the open near the path (小道). They used to take the same path every morning when they left the water hole. After a week, they were used to seeing my car. So the next morning, I lay under it and got my photo!”
Many of the best wildlife photos come from good planning. In Africa, photographers set up their hides (隐匿处) near water holes. They also set up hides near forest paths, as animals use the same paths every night. For bird-watching, many lakes have hides. Inside the hides, bird-watchers can watch all day in the shade (荫处) out of the wind and rain.
Good wildlife photos are needed for books, postcards, magazines and newspapers. But a success rate of 1 in 20 is good.

Passage A
（2019中考日常生活类训练）
Could your best friend make you fat?
Researchers who have studied“networks”of obesity(肥胖) think so：they found that if someone's friend becomes obese, that person's chances of becoming obese increase by more than half.
Brothers or sisters and a husband or a wife also have an influence, although reduced_people whose brothers or sisters became obese were 40 percent more likely to grow obese, while people whose husband or wife became obese were 37 percent more likely to.
“This is the first study to show how obesity spreads through the social network from person to person，”James Fowler of the University of California, San Diego, who worked on the study, told in a telephone interviewing.
The researchers said their findings show that obesity is contagious—not like a virus which is contagious, but in a social sense.
It may help explain why obesity is worsening across the United States, with two?thirds of Americans over?weight and almost a third technically obese.
“It has become very popular to speak of the obesity epidemic.We began to wonder if it is truly an epidemic，”Dr.Nicholas Christakis, a professor of medical sociology at Harvard Medical School in Boston, told the briefing.
“We think that these findings reinforce(加强) the idea that obesity is not just an individual problem but a collective problem，”Christakis said.
“People look around them and see people gaining weight and it might change their attitude about what constitutes an acceptable body size，”he added.“You might say it's OK to be heavier.”
1．The underlined phrase“reduced people”refers to______.
A．the influence of people is smaller and smaller
B．fat persons are having less and less friends
C．the number of fat persons is decreasing largely
D．persons are becoming thinner and thinner
2．What's the new finding of researchers in the passage?
A．Obesity is popular with Americans.
B．Obesity spreads from person to person.
C．Obesity can be spread like a virus.
D．Obesity is becoming an epidemic.
3．In what aspect do your fat friends have an impact on you?
A．They may influence you how to choose a lover.
B．They may assist you in forming a life value.
C．They may change your attitudes towards obesity.
D．They may help you understand what obesity is.
4．From the passage，we can infer that________.
A．it's better not to make friends with fat persons
B．obesity is a kind of disease that can spread
C．most Americans think obesity is a kind of beauty
D．it needs a collective effort to deal with obesity

Passage B
One of the things I always believe is that no matter how bad something is , you can take something positive out of it . The one time I wasn’t sure of that was on September 11.
I usually wake up at 6:30 or 7:00 in the morning . That day , I happened to wake up earlier . I turned on the TV and I saw that a plane had crashed into the North Tower of the World Trade Center . My first reaction was that it was a terrible accident . Then I saw another plane fly into the South Tower and I realized that I was witnessing an act of terrorism.
My wife and I spent the day watching the terrible pictures over and over again . When I watched family members looking for their loved ones , the pain in their eyes was something I would never forget . I couldn’t understand how something this terrible could have happened .
It wasn’t until a few weeks after September 11 that I began to see that perhaps some good did come from this tragedy . People seem different now , more understanding , more tolerant . Little things that seemed to be such a trouble before are no longer big things . Personally , I am more tolerant than I was . I realize life is too short , and too precious , to let myself get worried over small things . I’ve learned also that you can’t take things for granted . Things change in the blink of an eye . People go to work and don’t come back . One moment they’re living and the next minute they’re not . And , it doesn’t matter who you are , there is nothing you can do about it . We never know when our time here will be over , so we all need to make the most of every minute we have .
You try to learn from what happened . You can’t be used up by it . You can’t live by it . All you can do is just live .

Passage D
Happiness is for everyone. You don't need to care about those people who have beautiful houses with large gardens and swimming pools or those who have nice cars and a lot of money and so on. Why? Because those who have big houses may often feel lonely and those who have cars may want to walk on the country road in their free time.
In fact, happiness is always around you if you put your heart into it. When you are in trouble at school, your friends will help you. When you get success, your friends will say congratulations to you. And when you do something good to others, you will feel happy, too. All these are your happiness. If you notice a bit of them, you can see that happiness is always around you.
Happiness is not the same as money. It is a feeling of your heart. When you are poor, you can also say you are very happy, because you have something else that can't be bought with money. When you meet with difficulties, you can say loudly you are very happy, because you have more chances to challenge yourself. So you can't always say you are poor and you have bad luck. As the saying goes, life is like a revolving door. When it closes, it also opens. If you take every chance you get, you can be a happy and lucky person.
( )6. Those who have big houses may often feel ______.
A．happy B. lonely
C. free D. excited
( )7. When you fall down in a PE class, both your teacher and your classmates will ______.
A．laugh at you B. be proud of you
C. quarrel with you D. help you up

A．两面的 B. 旋转的
C. 玻璃的 D. 不动的

A．People who have cars would never like to walk in the open air.
B．You can get help from others when you make mistakes.
C．You can still be a happy person even if you have little money.
D．Happiness is always around you though difficulties come towards you.

A．Bad luck B. Good luck

Passage E
If babies are given more love and feelings by their mothers, they will deal better with stress and anxiety when they grow up, research has shown.
The study looked at eight-month-old children. That means even the very earliest life experiences can influence our happiness.
Lots of mother love makes children form a safe bond with their mothers, so they are able to feel safe in relationships when they grow up, and they will have better social skills and deal better with life’s difficulties.
The researchers, led by Dr. Joanna Maselko of Duke University in North Carolina, studied the relationships of 482 eight-month-old babies with their mothers during daily developmental assessment.

The World’s Water Shortage
??? The world is not only hungry, but it is also thirsty for water. This may seem strange to you, since nearly 70 percent（百分比）of the earth’s surface is covered with water. But about 97 percent of this huge amount is sea water, or salt water. Man can only drink and use the other 3 percent－the fresh water from rivers, lakes, underground, and other sources（资源）. And we cannot even use all of that, because some of it is in the form of icebergs and glaciers（冰川）. Even worse, some of it has been polluted.
??? However, as things stand today, this small amount of fresh water is still enough for us. But our need for water is increasing（增加）rapidly－almost day by day. Only if we take steps to deal with this problem now can we avoid（避免）a severe（严重的）worldwide water shortage later on.
??? We all have to learn how to stop wasting our valuable water. One of the first steps is to develop ways of reusing it.
??? Today in most large cities, water is used only once and then sent out into a sewer system（下水道）. From there it returns to the sea or runs into underground storage tanks. But it is possible to pipe used water to a purifying（净化）plant. There it can be treated with chemicals so that it can be used again, just as if it were fresh from a spring.
??? But even if every large city purified and reused its water, we still would not have enough. All we’d have to do to make use of the vast reserves（贮备）of sea water in the world is to remove the salt.
??? If we take these steps we’ll be in no danger of drying up.
? 1. The world is thirsty for water because we can only use _________ percent of the water covering the surface of the earth.
??? A. 3??????????? B. more than 3??????? C. less than 3??? ??? D. 97

??? D. We should take steps to deal with the water shortage problem.
? 3. To reuse water, we should __________.
??? A. treat it with chemicals

??? C. send it out into a sewer system
??? D. make it flow into underground tanks
? 4. In order to have enough water, we should also make use of _________.

Every morning, the newspaper chief editor(主编) holds a meeting with the reporters. They discuss the main events(事件) of the day. Reporters are then sent to cover the events.
As soon as the reporters know what to write about, they get down to work. They telephone people and fix a time for a face-to-face interview with them. Sometimes they do telephone interviews. Checking information is very important. They go to the newspaper’s own library to look up any information that they need. This is called “doing one’s homework”.
At the same time, the picture editor decides which photographs will be used for the next day’s paper. All the people who work on a newspaper must be able to work fast. Reporters have to stop working on one story and start working at once on the important new one. They must find out the new information as quickly as possible. Later in the day, everything is put together at the news desk. Reporters return, type their stories into the computer and hand them to the editor.
The chief editor decides which will be the most important story on the front page. Sometimes this will have to be changed if something more important happens late in the day. Other editors read the stories which the reporters have written and make any necessary changes.
Finally, there is no more time left for adding new stories, and the time for printing(印刷) the newspaper has come. This is done on fast-moving printing machines. The newspapers are then delivered(发送) by truck, plane or rail. Speed is important. People want to buy the latest newspaper; nobody wants to buy yesterday’s.
16. What is the work in a newspaper office like?
A. Interesting and confusing B. Important and patient.
C. Particular and necessary. D. Fast and busy.
17. According to the passage, the right order for a reporter’s work is ____________.

Passage A
（2019中考选练）
Good morning, class!
We know that there are too many net bars around us. The Internet is popular and it makes our lives colorful. Many of us like going online very much because we can learn how to use the computer and get more information from the Internet. We can learn English. We can read some good newspapers and magazines. It can make us clever in playing computer games. We can send E-mails to our friends quickly. We can chat(聊天) freely online with our friends. It can help us get in touch with people from all over the world.
But some students spend too much time in playing computer game and some stay in the net bars all day and all night. Teenagers even get to have boyfriends or girlfriends online. They write too many letters to each other. It takes them to much time to chat online so they do worse and worse in their lessons and they don’t study well any more. I think we mustn’t get online when it is time for us to study. We can do it in summer or winter holidays. We should get online with adults(成人)--our teacher or parents.
At the same time, if we have lots of free time, we can do some out-of-class activities at school. We usually have activities from 4:50 to 5:50 in the afternoon. We have different kinds of activities. If you are interested in sports, you can play basketball or football. We can go to the English Corner. We can practice talking in English there. We hope we can spend more time on our subjects or on such activities that we can learn a lot from and less time on the Internet.
Thank you for listening to me. That’s all.

Passage B
Dear Amy,
I couldn’t read your two e-mails until today because my computer was broken. I’m sorry to hear about your problem, but I’m glad you’re feeling better and are recovering(康复). I’m surprised that in China someone’s liver(肝脏) matched yours! This is really a moving story– a stranger donated part of his liver to a girl he doesn’t even know!
You’re right. We shouldn’t care too much about our weight. I’m happy you stopped taking those weight-loss pills. From your photo I can see you are now looking very well in the hospital. To keep slim is important, especially for an actress, but nothing is more important than health. Your doctor’s advice is indeed very good– exercise for at least half an hour every day and eat lots of fruit and vegetables.
It’s not only in your country. It’s the same here with us Chinese– many people are always going on diets or taking weight-loss pills, which are often dangerous. But in fact, some of them are not overweight(超重) at all. I hope these people can learn something from your story. Hope you will leave hospital as soon as possible.
Love
