One day ,someone greeted me with ―What‘s up ?‖It ,made me confused.I thought for a moment and then smiled because I didn‘t know what to say.Since then, I have discovered more and more differences between Chinese and US cultures.To my surprise, US girls spend a lot of time in the burning sun to get a tan.However ,in China ,girls try every possible way to get their skin paler, or ―whiter.‖
I also surprised by how hard-working.US students are.In China, schoolwork is almost everything ,so we study hard and that‘ it.But here,a ―good‖ student gets good grades, does a lot for the public and plays sports or music.The kids here are so talented ,I am starting to be sorry that I gave up playing the piano at an early age and that I have never thought about sports.61.According to the writer, textbook English is _________everyday English.A.quite different fromB.the same asC.more difficult than

People often say that the Englishman‘s home is his castle.They mean that the home is very important and personal to him.Most people in Britain live in houses ratherthan flats, and many people own their homes.This means that they can make them individual（个体的）;they can paint them, and change them in any way they like.Most house have a garden, even if it is a very small one, and the garden is usually loved.The house and the garden are the private（私人的）space of the individual.People usually like to mark their space.Are you sitting now in your home or on a train?have you marked the space around yourself as your? If you are on the train you may put your coat or small bag on the seat beside you.If you share a flat you may have one corner or chair which is your own.Once I was travelling on a train to London.I was in a section for four people and there was a table between us.The man on the space on my side of the table at all.I was angry.Maybe he thought that he owned the whole table.I had read a book about non-verbal communications o I took various papers out of my bag and put them on his1 /

When I was a foreign teacher in China, every day I taught English to my students and they taught me about China.One day the topic turned to saying ―I love you‖.I was shocked to learn that not one of my students had saidthis to their mothers, nor had their mothers said it to them.―Does your mom love you?‖ ―Of course ,‖they answered.―How do you know ?‖was my logical question.They responded that their mons cooked and always toldthem what they were doing wrong to showtheir caring.I was stunned.So mon‘s cooking and criticzing read out as ―I love you ‖.―Then how do you say ‗I love you ‘to her?‖ They agreed that getting good grades, followed by god jobs would be how they showed their love.I come from a culture where most people are expressive enough, so I repeated these queries in classes over time.Gradually, I began to get different response.Some of them had exchanged those sentiments with their moms.One of my favorite stories of change came from a girl.When she came home from university, her mother met her at the door and hugged（拥抱）her.This had never happened before, but her mom said, ―Now that you have gone I have more time to myself.I noticed that in some places mothers and children hug each other and I decided it was a good idea and that I would begin hugging you.‖
In my family we all say ―I love you‖ a lot.While it is true that we often say the words without having great depth of feelings at that moment, it is almost like a blessing we give each other.Those three little words carry a world of meaning ,even when said as a greeting, but most especially if they are the last words we say to or hear from those we love.52.The foreign teacher_______.A.comes from AmericaB.is a young woman

A
Papa’s jaw dropped when Mama told him that Sister had cheated on her final exams—not to succeed but to fail.“It’s unbelievable!” he said.“Sister has always been so proud of her good grades!”
“Yes, she has,” said Mama.“But it’s not unbelievable.It just shows how badly she wanted off the swimming team.”
“Wanted off the swimming team?” said Papa.“She never said anything about that to me.”
“Of course she didn’t,” said Mama.“She was afraid you’d blow your top.You already had her getting a swimming scholarship to college and winning gold medals at the Olympics.Can you imagine how much pressure she must have felt? For her, being on the team couldn’t have been much fun.”
“Oh, my gosh!” Papa said, clapping a hand to his forehead.“I’ve been so stupid!I just thought she’d want to be a champion swimmer because she’s so good at it.”
“It’s like anything else, dear,” said Mama.“No matter how good at it you are, if it stops being fun, you won’t want to do it anymore.”
Papa put his head in his hands.“She must be really mad at me,” he mumbled.“Maybe I should say sorry to her.”
Sister’s footsteps could be heard on the stairs.She came into the kitchen and looked hopefully up at her parents.“Honey,” said Mama with a smile, “your papa and I have decided that there’s no reason for you to be on the swimming team if you don’t want to.”
Sister’s face lit up like a Christmas tree.“Yippee!” she cried.“And,” added Papa, “there’s no need for any more drills.I’m sure you’ll bring your grades back up all by yourself.”
Sister ran to Papa and jumped into his arms.She gave him a big hug.“I’m going to go p lay cards with Lizzy!” she said.“See you later!”[
From the kitchen window, Mama and Papa watched their daughter run down the sunny road toward Lizzy’s house.“It’s good to see her happy again,” said Mama.“It sure is,” Papa agreed.“As for the swimming team, there’s always next year.”
“If?” Mama prompted him.“Oh, right,” said Papa.“If she wants to.”
Mama smiled.“At least you’re learning, dear,” she said.She kissed him.“Well, you know what they say,” Papa said.“Better late than never.”

篇三：阅读理解
ln the animal kingdom, weakness can bring about aggression in other animals.This sometimes happens with humans also.But I have found that my weakness brings out the kindness in people.I see it every day when people hold doors for me, pour cream into my coffee, or help me to put on my coat.And I have discovered that it makes them happy.From my wheelchair experience, I see the best in people, but sometimes I feel sad because those who appear independent miss the kindness I see daily.They don’t get to see this soft side of others.Often, we try every way possible to avoid showing our weakness, which includes a lot of pretending.But only when we stop pretending we’re brave or strong do we allow people to show the kindness that’s in them.Last month, when I was driving home on a busy highway, I began to feel unwell and drove more slowly than usual.People behind me began to get impatient and angry, with some speeding up alongside me, horning(按喇叭)or even shouting at me.At that moment，I decided to do something I had never done in twentyfour years of driving.I put on the car flashlights and drove on at a really low speed.No more angry shouts and no more horns!
When I put on my flashlights, I was saying to the other drivers, “I have a problem here.I am weak and doing the best I can.” And everyone understood.Several times, I saw drivers who wanted to pas s.They couldn’t get aro und me because of the stream of passing traffic.But instead of getting impatient and angry, they waited, knowing the driver in front of them was in some way weak.Sometimes situations call for us to act strong and brave even when we don’t feel that way.But those are few and far between.More often, it would be better if we don’t pretend we feel strong when we feel weak or pretend that we’re brave when we’re scared.()1.The author has discovered that people will feel happy when ________.A．they offer their help
B．they receive others’ help
C．they feel others’ kindness
D．they show their weakness
()2.The author feels sad sometimes because ________.A．he has a soft heart
B．he relies much on others
C．some people pretend to be kind
D．some people fail to see the kindness in others
()3.What did the other drivers do when they saw the flashlights?
A．They speeded up to pass.B．They waited with patience.C．They tried their best to help.D．They put on their flashlights too.()4.In this passage, the author advises us to ________.A．handle problems by ourselves
B．accept help from others
C．admit our weakness
D．show our bravery
()5.Which of the following is the best title of this passage?
A．A Wheelchair Experience.B．Weakness and Kindness.C．Weakness and Strength.D．A Driving Experience.【解析】本文是一篇议论文。在动物王国弱势会被侵略，在人类社会有时也是如此。但作者认为弱势能显现出人们的善良，并使提供帮助和被帮助的人都感到幸福。作者以自己的经历向人们阐述了弱势与善良的关系。

第四篇：中考英语--过去完成时练习题及答案
过去完成时
注意：过去完成时表示过去某一时间或某一动作之前已经发生或完成的动作，动作发生的时间是“过去的过去”.它是一个相对的时态，只有在和过去某个时间或动作相比较时才会用到。
E.g.By the end of the match，they had kicked two goals.We had already had lunch before we arrived there.其结构是“had+过去分词”.它的否定句是在had后边加not，变一般疑问句是把had提前。
E.g.I had reached the station before 9：00 o'clock.I had not reached the station before 9：00 o'clock.Had you reached the station before 9：00 o'clock？
它通常和before，by the end of 等引导的表示过去的时间状语连用。

高考英语阅读理解练习题及答案(5)
The fiddler crab(蟹)is a living clock.It indicates(=shows)the time of day by the colour of its skin, which is dark by day and pale by night.The crab’s changing colour follows a regular twenty—four hour plan that exactly matches the daily rhythm(节奏)of the sun.Does the crab actually keep time, or does its skin simply answer to the sun’s rays, changing colour according to the amount of light strikes it? To find out, biologists kept crabs in a dark room for two months.Even without daylight, the crab’s skin colour continued to change exactly on time.This characteristic(特性)probably developed gradually in answer to the daily rising and setting of the sun, to help protect the crab from sunlight and enemies.After millions of years it has become completely regulated(受控制)inside the living body of the crab.The biologists noticed that once each day the colour of the fiddler crab is especially dark, and that each day this happens fifty minutes later than on the day before.From this they discovered that each crab follows not only the rhythm of the sun but also that of the tides(潮水).The crab’s period of greatest darkening is exactly the time of low tide on the beach where it was cought!
1.The fiddler crab is like a clock because it changes colour ______.A in a regular 24—hour rhythm B.in answer to the sun’s rays
C.at low tide D.every fifty minutes
