Me: Okay, sorry about that.So, you've been on Earth for about a week now.What have been your biggest disappointments or challenges so far?
Bertha: It's not the worst planet I've ever been to.Mercury was much worse.The aliens — oops, I mean humans, have been unkind, overall.The family I'm staying with, for example, were nice at first.But now they roll their eyes whenever I open my mouth to say anything.They're not interested in any of my stories.And I think they may be trying to avoid me.Worst of all, they make me wash my own dishes and bathe myself.They're so rude.
Me: Oh, um...wow.That's just...
Bertha: I am used to having high standards when I choose where to stay, by the way.I have stayed with royalty and presidents on other planets.And they all adored(崇拜)me and begged me not to leave.But I gave this human family a chance to host me.I mean, really, they should be grateful that I selected them, of all the people on Earth, to wash my clothes and cook my meals and entertain(款待)me.
Me: Well, what you're saying is surprising, Bertha.Do you think it's possible that this family just wants you to pitch in(参与) a little, to be a good guest?

4.The young men were fighting against 　　　(敌人).
5.Some think Stonehenge was built to celebrate a 　　　(胜利).
答案
1. express　句意:那一刻言语无法表达她的感情。情态动词could后跟动词原形express。
2.position　句意:我可以从太阳的位置判断时间。position"位置",符合句意。
3. medical　句意:为了拯救人们的生命,医生和科学家冒着生命危险做医学研究。此处是形容词作定语,修饰名词research。

8.energy　句意:我们的新英语老师很友好并且精力充沛。energy在此处为不可数名词,意为"活力,精力"。
9.circles　句中the moon 　　　(circle) the earth about every 28 days为told的宾语从句,told用了过去时,从句谓语动词本应用过去时,但此处老师讲的是一种客观真理,谓语动词用一般现在时,故填circles。
10.(to)prevent　句意:戴口罩有助于阻止新型冠状病毒肺炎的传播。help (to) do sth."帮助做某事"。

4.B　句意:微笑无处不在,尤其是在孩子们的脸上。nearly"几乎,差不多";especially"尤其,特别";finally"最后,终于";luckily"幸运地"。

一、阅读理解　　　素养：文化意识　　　　话题：神秘事件　　难度：中　　　　　建议用时：7分钟　
　　 In 1924, Frederick Albert Mitchell-Hedges led a team to Lubaantun, an ancient Mayan (玛雅人的) city in modern-day Belize, a country in Central America. There, his daughter, Anna, found one of the most mysterious objects in history: a crystal skull (水晶头骨) that looked like a perfect human head. After that, more crystal skulls appeared in a short period across Europe and North America.
For years, those mysterious crystal skulls have caused a lot of discussion. Even now, no one knows exactly who made them, and no one can say when.
Some people believe the Mesoamerican (中美洲的) people made the skulls thousands of years ago. Some stories say they have special powers, such as the ability to make sick people well. Moviemakers love these stories. In the 2008 movie Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, the skulls had great powers. In the movie, a crystal skull is actually the head of an alien.
However, most scientists don't believe these stories. They think the skulls are more modern. Scientists have found marks on the skulls that they believe only more modern technology could make. Because of this, scientists are certain the skulls are not thousands of years old. Instead, they think the skulls are from the 19th century.
Scientists also point to the British Museum's research — researchers have found many Mesoamerican objects, but they have never found a crystal skull. Scientists say this is also the evidence to show they are not really Mesoamerican.
Until we know more about the skulls, the mystery — and the debate (争论) — will continue.
1. Who found the first crystal skull?
A. Anna.
B. Frederick.
C. The Mayan people.
D. The Mesoamerican people.
2.According to some stories, the crystal skulls 　　　　.
A. were made by aliens
B. could make people sick
C. were the heads of aliens
D. could help sick people get better
3.What have the scientists found about the crystal skulls?
A. They weren't made of real crystal.
B. They were made in the same country.
C. They are typical Mesoamerican objects.
D. They have a shorter history than people think.
4.The underlined word "evidence" means 　　　　in Chinese.
A. 机会 B. 观点
C. 证据 D. 成就
5. What is the passage mainly about?
A. What the crystal skulls are.
B. Who made the crystal skulls.
C. The debate about the crystal skulls.
D. The importance of the crystal skulls
答案
【解题导语】　自从水晶头骨被发现之后,关于它的一些争论就未停止过。
1. A　细节理解题。根据第一段中的"There, his daughter, Anna, found one of the most mysterious objects in history: a crystal skull (水晶头骨) that looked like a perfect human head"可知答案。
2.D　细节理解题。根据第三段内容可知,一些故事中谈到了水晶头骨的特殊能力,其中有一项能力就是"make sick people well",这与D选项表述的意思一致。
3.D　细节理解题。由倒数第二段内容可知,科学家认为这些水晶头骨更现代,确信它们没有几千年的历史,因此科学家说水晶头骨的历史比人们想象的要短。
4.C　词义猜测题。此处想证明水晶头骨不是中美洲的,要说明这一点就得有证据。由倒数第二段内容可知,研究者发现了很多中美洲的东西,其中并没有水晶头骨,这就是证据。
5.C　主旨大意题。根据第二段中的"have caused a lot of discussion"及最后一段中的"and the debate(争论)—will continue"可推测出答案为C。

[2018上海中考]Last month some thieves stole a valuable teapot from a museum in Hong Kong. They took the teapot to America, but the American police found it. The museum sent Mr. Chan, a member of the museum staff, to collect the teapot. On the plane back to Hong Kong, he noticed two men. They were watching him closely. "Perhaps they're going to steal the teapot again. I must think of a plan," he thought.
Mr. Chan's daughter, Amy, met him at Hong Kong afterwards. Mr. Chan was carrying two boxes. He gave his daughter the pink box and said to her in a low voice, "Take this gift box home with great care." He walked away with the brown one. The two men followed him.
Amy opened the box at home. She was expecting a pair of sports shoes, but she just found an old teapot. "This is not a very interesting gift," said Amy, a bit disappointed."That's all right. Let's make some tea in it, "said her mother. Then they found a note in the teapot. It said, "Dear Amy, 　6　 Love Dad."
　　The two men kidnapped(绑架)Mr. Chan on his way to the museum. They opened his box and found a pair of sports shoes inside."Where's the teapot?" the two thieves shouted at the top of their voice with red faces. "How dare you cheat us? We saw you give your daughter a box at the airport. Come with us! We're going to search your home," one of them said.
When the thieves entered Mr. Chan's flat, it was dark and quiet. All of a sudden, the door closed and the lights went on. The police were waiting inside.
Amy and her mother came out of the bedroom with the teapot."That teapot is very valuable," said Mr. Chan. "A long time ago it belonged to an emperor. He drank tea from it."
"We were going to drink tea from it, too," said Amy, laughing.

　　[2019江苏扬州中考] That morning, we noticed a cab (出租车)following Sir Henry and Dr.Mortimer in London. But who?
We went to Sir Henry's hotel. Holmes asked Dr. Mortimer if anyone with a black beard lived in or near Baskerville Hall.
"Yes," said Dr.Mortimer,"Barrymore."
"We must send a telegram to check whether Barrymore is in London or at Baskerville Hall," said Holmes.
Sir Henry said he wanted to go to Baskerville Hall.
"OK," said Holmes. "But you mustn't go alone. Watson can go with you."
Sir Henry and I agreed to take the 10:30 train on Saturday.
Holmes thought deeply on the way home: the story of the Hound, Sir Charles's death, the strange letter, the missing boot and the black-bearded man. He sat in his room all afternoon, smoking and thinking.
Just before dinner, a telegram arrived. It said,"Barrymore is at Baskerville Hall."
"That becomes a dead end, Watson. We will have to look for another way to go forward."
Just then the doorbell rang. It was the cab driver who drove the man with the black beard. "I got a message that you are asking for me," he said. "I've never had a complaint. I came here to ask you what you had against me!"
"No, no," said Holmes."Instead, I'll give you money if you tell me about the man in your cab this morning. He watched this house at 10:00 and then told you to follow the two gentlemen."
The driver looked surprised and then answered,"The man said he was a detective and that I shouldn't tell anyone about him."
"It's serious, my friend, and you may be in trouble if you refuse to answer."
"His name," said the driver, "was Sherlock Holmes."
I'd never seen Holmes more surprised. Then he laughed. "He scored against me that time, Watson."
The driver told us everything he knew. Holmes gave him the money and sent him away. "This is a dangerous enemy, Watson."
—Taken from The Hound of the Baskervilles

Along with the Great Pyramid in Egypt, the Great Sphinx is one of the greatest monuments(历史遗迹) in human history.
Carved(雕刻) out of a single piece of stone of hundreds of tons, the Sphinx is the head of a man resting on the body of a lion. The nose, eyes and ears have been carved in accurate proportion(比例). That's not easy for an object 180 meters long, 64 meters high and 35 meters wide. The Sphinx was built about 2600 BC. But no one knows what tools were used or by whom. The Egyptians wrote very little about the building of the Sphinx. No one knows what the Sphinx looked like when it was first finished because both natural erosion(侵蚀) and people's damage have changed its shape. Many earlier pictures of the Sphinx show it with wings, the body of a lion, and the face of a man.
Today only the man and the lion can be seen. To this day, people can't agree with each other on the true role of the Sphinx.

　　Sherlock Holmes is probably the best-known detective character in the world, but do you know that there was a Chinese detective who had similar skills?
He was Detective Dee — Di Renjie. Di Renjie appeared as the main character in a number of novels and films. In these novels and films, Detective Dee solved many cases. "The first rule of solving cases is that you need a good memory.

【范文赏读】
We found a green coat yesterday. There is a concert ticket in the pocket. Mary, Kate and Tracy lost their coats. Whose coat is it?
It can't belong to Mary because her coat is black. Could it be Kate's or Tracy's? It might not be Kate's. Her coat is green but she doesn't like listening to music. Tracy's coat is also green and she likes rock music very much. So it must belong to Tracy.
