Passage （三）
（2019中考选练）
Answers to life can be found in everyday events. Watching nature, watching people and watching animals communicate with each other provide some of the simplest ways to life’s biggest problems.
This became clearer to me yesterday. It caused me to ask myself, “How do I respond (反应) to the storms in life?”
People usually run when it starts to rain. I love to walk in it, stand on my front door and feel it. I grew up doing it and have never really felt the fear many people do.
The animal world senses changes in the weather far earlier than humans. My dog, Ricky, begins to shake long before the storm is close enough to be noticed. I was about to feed my three dogs yesterday and as usual, I let them out in the yard first. They didn’t move when thunder came across the skies. So I placed their food in their bowls and called Ricky into the kitchen.
Ricky was just standing there in place next to his bowl. The thunder became louder, which forced him to stop eating his meal. Then I watched Phil. He made his way across the kitchen floor and stood over Ricky’s bowl. He ate all the remaining food. Generally, if Ricky was standing there, he wouldn’t dare (敢) come close. But today, he took advantage (优势) of the storm and got what he wanted. His hope for the prize outweighed (胜过) his fear of the storm.
That’s when it hit me. As men, we face all kinds of storms. They come in unannounced. Sometimes we stay in a corner or under the blankets, hoping it will all pass. However, if you dare put your head out, you’ll discover there’re people doing what they must to get what they must have out of life. Isn’t it time you decided to take advantage of the storm?
1. According to the writer, answers to life ______.
A. are difficult to find?????? ?????????????????????????????????? B. lie around us
C. are simple to understand?? ?????????????????????????? D. make people become fearless
2. From the passage we can learn that the writer ______.
A. enjoys the rain??? ?????????????????? ??????????????????? B. fears thunder
C. hates the storm???? ???????????????????????????????????? D. cares little about the weather
3. According to the passage, what hit the writer most?
A. Phil wasn’t afraid of the storm.????????? ???? B. Ricky stopped eating food.
C. Phil ate the rest of Ricky’s food.?????? ???????? D. Ricky sensed the storm earlier than he.
4. What would be the best title for the passage?
A. Find out Answers to Life?????? ??????????????????? B. Take Advantage of the Storm
C. Stop Storms in our Daily Life??? ????????????????? D. Pay Attention to Everyday Events

Passage （七）
You must have read or heard of the sad love story between Jia Baoyu and Lin Daiyu. But can you imagine the two singing opera in English instead of speaking poetic Chinese?
Jia and Lin are two characters from the classic Chinese novel A Dream of Red Mansions(《红楼梦》), written by Cao Xueqin(1715－1763). Now the book has been made into an English language opera. The opera was first performed last September in San Francisco, US. This month it came to Beijing, Changsha and Wuhan.
Many of the opera's creators have backgrounds(背景)in both Chinese and American cultures, including the director and playwrights. Their understanding of both cultures helped them to change a Chinese classic into a foreign?language opera.
The book, which covers the rise and fall of the Jia family, has 120 chapters and hundreds of characters. But opera writer David Henry Hwang cut down the number of characters to just seven. Hwang, a Chinese?American, focused on the love story between Jia and Lin and tried to write a heartbroken tragedy(悲剧) that everyone would understand.
The art director Timmy Yip, from Hong Kong, tried to help foreign people understand the characters using costumes(服装) and stage settings(布景). He compared Lin to water and gave her a light green costume. When Lin shows up on stage, there is usually water around her on the stage.
The creators consider it to be a meaningful job to introduce a Chinese classic to Western audiences. Hwang told China Daily he was happy to “have made a contribution to the land where my parents were born”．
1. Who wrote the opera for the Chinese classic novel A Dream of Red Mansions?
A. Lin Daiyu. B. Cao Xueqin. C. Jia Baoyu. D. David Henry Hwang.
2. The opera was ________．
A. sung in poetic Chinese B. first performed in Beijing
C. performed in China after one year D. performed in many languages
3. Which of the following is NOT a difference between the book and the opera?
A. The language used. B. The sad love story.
C. The number of characters. D. The whole family's story.
4. Why did the creators make the book into an English?language opera?
A. Because they had backgrounds in Western culture.
B. Because they thought the book was not good enough.
C. Because they hoped to help others learn English.
D. Because they wanted Westerners to know about the Chinese novel.
5. The best title of the passage is probably ________.
A. A Dream of Red Mansions Is Popular
B. Introduce the Chinese Classic to Westerners

Passage （八）
（2019中考选练题）
You know how much your telephone has changed over the past 10 years? Your car will change even more than that in the next 10 years. One of the biggest changes is that cars will drive themselves.
“We certainly have the technology for it now.”says Andrew Poliak of automotive（机动车辆的）technology supplier QNX.“We expect self-driving cars to be a mainstream thing between 2020 and 2025.”
The American company Google has been working on self-driving cars for years. These cars are already on the roads in the United States and are truly self-driving. They have to steering wheels（方向盘）or pedals（踏板）. Last week, the police ordered one of Google's cars to stop for driving too slowly on a public road. The car was not breaking any law, so no one was punished.
Another American company, Tesla, added an “Autopilot” feature to its cars last month. With the Autopilot turned on, the vehicle drives itself. The car will speed up, slow down, brake and drive by itself. You can take over driving any time by turning the steering wheel or touching a pedal. The car uses sensors to know when driveway changing is safe and whether it should speed up or slow down.
Tesla Autopilot is made for cross-country driving. It keeps you in the driveway and helps you avoid hitting other cars. It does not work well on local roads, for it will not stop at a red light or stop sign.
Reporter Carolyn Nicander Mohr tried the Autopilot feature of a Tesla earlier this month. She had a hard time trusting the car to do what it should do. She thought about disabling the Autopilot feature many times during her trip. She wanted to take control at every bend in the road and hit the brake when the car in front of her slowed down. Yet the car drove perfectly.
Other companies are working on self-driving cars, too. Marcedes-Benz, Audi, BMW.Volvo and Toyota all have plans for such vehicles.
( )1．What do Andrew Poliak's words probably mean?
A. It is too difficult for people to make self-driving cars now.
B. Self-driving cars will be first put on the market in 2020.
C. There will be more self-driving cars in use in the future.
D. Nobody loves to use self-driving cars at the moment.
( )2．Why did the police stop the Google car?
A. It had no driver. B. It went to slowly.
C. It broke the traffic rules D. It had no steering wheel.
( )3．The underlined word “brake” probably means ______.
A. 加油门 B.刹车 C. 前进 D.后退
( )4．According to the text, Tesla Autopilot ________.
A. is truly self-driving B. can sense traffic lights
C. won't work on freeways D. isn't safe in crowded areas
( )5．From the passage, we can infer that _______.
A. self-driving cars are popular nowadays.
B. self-driving could be trusted by anyone.
C. a special driveway should be built for self-driving cars.
D. self-driving cars need improving.
