“You are the comfort of my life, Effie. If you make up your mind to go away, what is to become of me?”

The speaker was a middle-aged woman. Her pleading (恳求的) words were emphasized by her tired eyes and worn face. She looked full at the young girl to whom she spoke.

“What shall I do without you, and what will your father say?”

“I have made up my mind,” said Effie. “I don’t want to be unkind to you, mother,—I love you more than words can say,—but I must go out into the world. I must live my life like other girls.”

“You had none of these ideas until you met Dorothy.”

“Yes, I have had them for a long time; Dorothy has given them emphasis. That’s all. Before I go, mother, I will get Agnes to learn all my duties; she shall help you.”

“She would not be like you,” replied Mrs. Staunton. “She is very young, remember, and is at school most of the day.”

Effie sighed. She bent down and kissed her mother.

You do not know w hat it means to me,” she said. “When Dorothy talks of the full life, the keen interest, the battle, the thrill of living, I feel that I must go into it—I must. You are sending George out into the world to win his spurs (立功成名), and I am going to win mine.”

“In what way?” asked Mrs. Staunton. “You know you are not clever.”

“Dorothy thinks I can be a nurse, mother. May she come and see you, and talk it all over?”

“What is the use of my seeing her? Your father is the one to decide.”

“I shall be a greater comfort to you when I send you money from London. Now, don’t speak another word. I will put the children to bed, and I will look after baby myself, while you close your eyes and go to sleep.”

Effie pressed her warm young lips on the older woman’s brow, and then ran out of the room.

24. Why does the Effie want to leave home?

A. Because she wants to live her own life.

B. Because her parents want her to support the family.

C. Because there are too many children in the family.

D. Because her mother was sick at that time.

25. In the mother’s eyes, who influences Effie’s decision to leave most?

B. Dorothy.

C. Effie’s father.

D. George.

26. What kind of girl is Effie?

B. Disagreeable and stubborn.

D. Determined and considerate.

27. What will Effie do after the passage?

B. Get away from the house.

C. Take care of the children.

D. Go back to her room to sleep.

Are you so sure your mistakes are just mistakes? Or could they be building blocks (基石) to a success beyond any you imagined?

When my friend Dorothy goes home to visit her family each Thanksgiving, her mother serves the traditional “mistake salad”. The dish was born many years ago, Dorothy explains, when mother was using a cookbook to make a salad. In the process, mother accidentally included half the salad ingredients (作料) from a recipe on the left side of the open cookbook, and half the ingredients from a different salad recipe on the opposite page. Everyone enjoyed the salad so much that she continued to serve it every year. So it was really no mistake at all.

Then there was the fellow named Alfred, who invented dynamite (炸药). When Alfred’s brother died, the city newspaper confused the two and reported that the deceased’s most notable

act was the creation of the explosive, later adapted to make bombs. Shocked to consider that his name would forever be associated with destruction, Alfred sought to leave a more positive legacy (遗产) to humanity. So he instituted a prize for people who contributed to world peace. Now the Nobel Prize, established by Alfred Nobel, is the most respected award in the world.

Everything is part of something bigger, and mistakes are no exception. In his brilliant book Illusions, Richard Bach explains that every problem comes to you with a gift in its hands. If you focus only on what went wrong, you miss the gift. If you are willing to look deeper and ask for the insight, the problem disappears, you are left only with the learning, and you advance on your path.

You can regret your errors, and those of others, or you can honor them. They let you see good where others find fault and are invitations to acknowledge perfection. Salad, anyone?

（315 words）

28. What mistake did the mother make when making a salad?

A. She used some wrong ingredients.

B. She didn’t use enough ingredients.

C. She followed a wrong recipe.

D. She followed a wrong cookbook.

29. What does the underlined part “the deceased” in Paragraph 3 refer to?

A. Alfred.

B. Alfred’s family.

C. Alfred’s brother.

D. Alfred and his brother.

30. According to the text, how can we benefit from a problem?

A. By keeping on trying regardless of it.

B. By gaining a deep understanding of it.

C. By learning from what goes wrong.

D. By focusing on what is right.

31. What does the author really mean by “Salad, anyone?” at the end of the text?

A. Try to avoid mistakes.

B. Find value in mistakes.

C. Don’t regret your mistakes.

D. Don’t be afraid of mistakes.

As the proverb goes, man struggles upwards; water flows downwards.Water runs downhill from mountaintops to streams, to rivers and to oceans. But downhill isn’t the only way that water moves. A new study measures how water travels from country to country for human consumption. This flow isn’t the type we usually think about. These scientists looked at the water used to grow and make the products which get shipped from nation to nation as imports or exports. They call this a flow of “virtual water”.

We typically think about water as the liquid that flows from a tap. However, 92％of the water used by people goes into growing crops, according to a water researcher Arjen Hoekstra. He recently studied the hidden travels of virtual water used in products made from things like crops and meats. These products are shipped around the world.

For example, consider a sugary soft drink. Hoekstra estimated that to produce one half-liter of the drink requires between 170 and 310 liters of water —about 95% is used to grow and process the ingredients (原料). Another 4％goes into the packaging and labeling. In Hoekstra’s calculation, when one country produces a half-liter of soda and sells it abroad, it exports as much virtual water as would fill a large refrigerator.

According to Hoekstra’s new report, dry countries lik e Israel and Kuwait, both in the Middle East, get the majority of their virtual water from other countries, through imported products. More surprisingly, some wetter countries, like the Netherlands and the United Kingdom, also get the majority of their virtual water from other places. That means that most of the water used to grow or produce the products and food consumed in those countries came from other countries.（292 words）

32. The proverb in Paragraph One is used to __________.

A. inspire readers to struggle upward

B. tell a law of nature

C. introduce the topic of the passage

D. summarize the main idea of the passage

33. In which countries does most part of virtual water come from outside?

A. The United Kingdom and China

B. America and Israel

C. The Netherlands and Kuwait

D. The Netherlands and America

34. What can be a suitable title for the passage?

A. Benefits of Virtual Water

B. Hidden Uses of Water

C. Crops and Virtual Water

D. Water’s Worldwide Travels

35. Where does the passage probably come from?

A. A science news report.

B. A newspaper advertisement.

C. A book review.

D. A science fiction story.

第二节（共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分）

根据短文内容，从短文后的七个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。

Many people pin our happiness on external things like our appearance, travel plans, possessions and the opinions of others. 36 But true, continuous happiness comes from within — by developing a mindset (心态) based on gratitude, mindfulness and acceptance.

When we feel that someone has “wronged” us, we often carry it around with us for weeks or sometimes years. The Buddha once said, “Holding on to anger is like grasping a hot coal with the purpose of throwing it at someone else；you are the one w ho gets burned.” Make forgiveness your new motto and see how much freer and lighter your soul feels.

It doesn’t matter what other people think of us.

Sometimes，we give away so much of our energy, power and inner peace by worrying about what others think o f us. The truth is we can’t ever know for certain what other people are thinking about us. 38

When we give something, we get something.

Giving and receiving are one in truth. When you give to someone with no strings attached — whether it be a simple gift, a warm word or your time—you are nourished (滋养) as well as the receiver. 39 Meanwhile, your karma (人缘) will bring more blessings and gifts back into your life.

Many people think that daily happiness and joy is an unrealistic goal, and we should be more realistic. Understand your purpose is to blossom into the highest, happiest version of you and let go of any guilt you feel for making your happiness a priority.

A. And then suffer as a result.

B. We need to be more realistic.

C. Forgiveness is a natural part of life.

D. You experience the feeling of satisfaction and joy.

E. We are holding ourselves the wrong-doer.

F. Even when you are striving to improve and grow，you are complete.

G. So when your heart starts to fill you with doubt and fear, remember it’s a fictional story.

Sometimes people come into your life and you know right away that they are meant to be

there. They serve some sort of 41 in order to teach a lesson or help 42 who you are or who you want to become. You never know 43 these people may be —your roommate, neighbor, professor, long-lost friend, lover or even a complete 44 , but when you keep an eye on them, you know at that very moment that they will 45 your life in some great way.

And sometimes things happen to you and they may seem 46 , horrible and unfair at the time, but 47 overcoming those obstacles, you would never have realized your potential, strength, willpower or heart. Everything happens for a(n) 48 . Nothing happens by 49 or by means of good or bad luck. Illness, injury, love, lost moments of true greatness and stupidity —all occur to 50 the limits of your soul. Without these small tests life would be like a smoothly paved, straight, flat road to nowhere, safe and comfortable but dull and 51 .

The people you meet who affect your life and the successes and 52 you experience —they are the ones that create who you are. Even the 53 experiences can be learned from.

If someone hurts you, betrays you or breaks your heart, 54 them, for they have helped you learn about 55 and the importance of being 56 about whom you open your heart to. If someone loves you, love them back 57 , not only because they love you, but because they are teaching you to love and open your heart and eyes to things you would 58 have seen or felt without them.

Make every day 59 . Appreciate every moment and take from it everything that you possibly can, for you may never be able to experience it again.

第二节语法填空（共10小题；每小题1.5分，满分15分）

阅读下面材料，在空白处填入适当的内容（1个单词）或括号内单词的正确形式。

Sometimes the targets we set 61 (us) are just too high. We think that we will be better people in the future. Just as we are 62 (easy) taken over by the planning fallacy (谬见), believing that we can complete a large project for work in an afternoon, we think in the future we will be better-organized and more self-disciplined.

One of the most 63 (fame) examples of the planning fallacy is 64 of the Oxford English Dictionary. In 1860 plans were in place to complete it within three years. In 1879 there was a new deal to publish 65 within a decade, but after five years they had only got so far as the word “ant”. It was finally completed in 1928, by 66 time it was considered out of date and revisions began at once.

The same thing happens when it comes to 67 (try) to change our lifestyles. We read about a new idea and that optimism fires up all over again. At the University of Toronto Janet Polivy has been studying what she calls “false hope syndrome (综合征)”.

She found that people set themselves unrealistic targets which they undoubtedly failed to reach, leaving them feeling even 68 (bad) about themselves. Some of the students she studied had tried and failed for 10 years to make the same 69 (change) in their lives, but each year they 70 (convince) that this time it would work.

We all want to grow up happily and healthily, and for this goal we must do several things.

Firstly, we should develop a good attitude to life. Life consists of not only sunshine but also hard time. We should be brave in face of various difficulties. Secondly, we must study hard because knowledge is power. If we have the power, we can help to build our country and enjoy life better. In order to study well, we need to do sports so that we can keep fit. We can go running, play ball games or simply take a walk after a day’s study. If we do these thin gs well, we will be able to grow up happily and healthily.

初中英语阅读理解常见题型及答题技巧[1]

初中英语阅读理解常见题型及答题技巧从近几年的中考阅读理解情况看，短文体裁多样，题材各异，文章涉及科学知识、社会文化、政治历史、人文环境和日常生活等方面，充分体现其时代性、实用性。短文难度逐年加大。常见题型有主旨题、细节题、推断题、猜测词义题和正误判断题。做阅读理解练习应先看问题，弄清考点。在阅读短文之前，快速浏览问题，以便在阅读短文时做到心中有数，快速、准确地捕捉所要信息。先易后难。做题时不必拘泥于书中所呈现的语篇顺序，应遵循先易后难的原则。如可先做细节题再做推断题，因为细节题大多能直接从文中找到答案，而推断题则需对短文进行深层理解，再作判断。（一）主旨题主旨题主要考查学生对短文中心思想或作者意图的掌握。做此类题时，应通读全文，理解文章大意，充分理解主题句的意义。短文往往围绕主题句展开，主题句通常出现在短文第一句或最后一句。（二）细节题细节题是用来进一步表达主题，体现中心思想的，往往针对短文某个细节来设题。做此类题时，应快速捕捉信息，可能是一些事例、数字等，阅读时要有针对性。（三）推断题推断题就是根据某个事实推断结论，主要考查学生的理解力和推断力。这类推断通常包括：数据事实推断、常识推断以及作者的写作目的、态度和倾向等的推断。做此类题时，应根据短文中的相关语句，对与事实有关的细节加以分析，找出线索，悟出字里行间的意思，反复比较，从而作出合乎逻辑的判断。（四）猜测词义题猜测词义题主要考查学生根据上下文正确判断灵活变化的词义能力。一般情况下，推断词义的题目中所出现的单词，大多数是学生未曾见过的生词，学生需要在该词出现的上下文中去寻找线索。通过阅读上下文，断定该词的真正含义，然后将这个释义代入文中，检查是否贴切，仔细比较直到得出该词的确切的含义。（五）正误判断题正误判断题主要考查学生对文章的具体事实、信息的理解能力。一般是根据文章的事实或细节，给出一个句子，判断其正误。这类题比较直接，难度相对较小。做此类题时，应先看题，后带着“问题”快速阅读短文，寻找所需要的信息。初中英语阅读理解题已成为评估学生英语水平的重要测试题型，在中考英语试卷中所占比重较大。阅读理解题主要是考查学生综合运用所学语言知识的能力，包括细节理解能力、词义判断能力、归纳概括能力及逻辑推理能力等。大致来说，阅读理解题主要针对如下方面：（1）个别词语或句子；（2）某一细节或情节；（3）主题；（4）背景知识；（5）结论或结局；（6）内涵隐意或寓意等。下面本人就根据阅读理解题的题型特点，来谈一些答题技巧。一、直接理解题这种题目比较简单，只要通读全文，了解文中所叙述的重要事实或细节就可以解答出来，有的甚至可以从文章的原句中直接找到答案。此类题目的出题形式很多，例如：

初中英语中考完型填空题型分类及解题思路

2010年中考英语完型填空题型分类及解题思路完形填空是一种测试考生综合运用英语语言知识能力的一种题型，它集阅读理解能力与语言应用能力考查于一体，考查考生在阅读理解基础上，在一定语言情景下灵活运用词汇的能力。它首先要求考生具备较强的阅读能力，具备能根据短文所给线索，捕捉相关信息，进行分析判断、逻辑推理的能力，它还要求考生能熟练运用所学词汇、语法、习惯用语及交际用语等语言知识进行填词，考查了使用语言的准确性。由于完形填空属于有障碍性的阅读，考生对阅读这些含有空缺单词的短文没有把握、困难较大，所以往往望题生畏。因而完形填空历来是中考中考生失分率较高的题型。义务教育新教材使用之后，完形填空试题的难度逐渐增大。以往完形填空试题的考点主要集中在词汇、语法、句法上，对语篇背景考虑不多，近年来考查的重点已由在语篇中考查语法逐渐转向对语篇的整体理解。比如多数试题所设选项如单从语法角度来判定都是正确的，但一旦联系语篇内容，则只有一个正确答案。由于难度的提高，使完形填空成为考生最棘手题型之一，感到既容易丢分又难于进行复习。要完成好完形填空试题，考生除必须掌握一定的语法、词汇知识外，还有赖于提高阅读理解能力。因为只有看懂了短文才能确定正确答案。另外考生还要有计划地多做一些完形填空的练习，逐渐增加训练的频度，提高训练的难度，通过训练提高阅读理解能力，做到能根据短文所给线索和信息进行分析、推理、归纳、判断，进一步提高词语辨析和灵活运用的能力。只有通过平时多读多练，不断拓宽知识面，进一步了解英美风土人情等有关文化背景知识，熟练掌握英语习惯用语的表达等，才能为正确完成完形填空试题提供前提保障。例1、完形填空： Most English people have three names: a first name, a middle name and the family name. Their family name comes 1 . For example, my 2 name is Jim Allan White. White is my 3 name. My 4 gave me both of my other names. People don't use their 5 names very often. So "John Henry Brown" is usually 6 "John Brown". People never use Mr, Mrs or Miss before their 7 names. So you can say John Brown, or Mr Brown, 8 you should never say Mr John. They use Mr、Mrs or Miss 9 the family name. This is 10 from Chinese names. The first name is the family name, and the last name is the given name.

河南省顶级名校2015年高考高三5月热身模拟试题(2)英语试题

河南省顶级名校2015届5月热身模拟英语试卷（2）（本试卷共120分，考试时间100分钟）第一卷第一部分听力部分（略）第二部分阅读理解(共两节，满分40分) 第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A, B, C和D)中，选出最佳选项.并且在答题卷上将该项涂黑。 A My grandparents were married for over half a century, and played their own special game the time they had met each other. The goal of their game was to write the word “shmily” in a surprise place for the other to find. They took turns leaving “shmily” around the ho use, and as soon as one of them discovered it, it was their turn to hide it once more. They dragged “shmily” with their fingers through the sugar and flour containers to await whoever was preparing the next meal. “Shmily” was written in the steam left on t he mirror after a hot shower, where it would reappear bath after bath. There was no end to the places where “shmily” would pop up. Little notes with “shmily” were found on car seats, or taped to steering wheels. The notes were put inside shoes and left und er pillows. “Shmily” was written in the dust upon the mantel（壁炉架）and traced in the ashes of the fireplace. This mysterious word was as much a part of my grandparents’ house as the furniture. It took me a long time before I was able to fully appreciate my grandparents’ game. Skepticism has kept me from believing in true love—one that is pure and enduring (持久的). However, I never doubted my grandparents’ relationship. It was based on passionate affection which not everyone is lucky enough to experience. But there was a dark cloud in my grandparents’ life: my grandmoth er had breast cancer. The disease had first appeared ten years earlier. As always, Grandpa was with her every step of the way. He comforted her in their yellow room, painted that way so that she could always be surrounded by sunshine, even when she was too sick to go outside. But my grandmother grew steadily weaker until, finally, she could not leave the house any more. Then one day, what we all dreaded finally happened. Grandma was gone. “Shmily.” It was written in yellow on the pink ribbons of my grandmother’s funeral bouquet (花束). As the crowd thinned and the last mourners turned to leave, Grandpa stepped up to my grandmother’s coffin and, taking a shaky breath, he began to sing to her. Through his tears and grief, the song came: S-h-m-i-l-y: See How Much I Love You. 21. The first paragraph is mainly about ________. A.what the word “shmily” means B.how the author’s grandparents played their special game C.how the author appreciated her grandparents’ game D.how the author’s grandparents cared for each other 22. The underlined phrase “pop up” in Paragraph 1 means ________. A. appear B. change C. survive D. work

初中英语解题思路—科普环保类(阅读理解)

科普环保类专项练习学校:______________________ 一、阅读理解 When you watch TV programs about wild animals, it is surprising to see how an antelope (羚羊) can run away from a strong lion. In the wilderness, everyone has his own way to protect himself. Even plants have their own ways to fight off enemies. Over millions of years, plants have developed their own defense system (防卫系统). Chemicals are fantastically used by plants to survive (幸存). By making their leaves, flowers, roots and fruits poisonous (有毒的) to enemies, plants can fight back. One such plant is the Golden Wattle tree. The British scientist David Cameron has found when an animal eats the tree’s leaves, the amount (数量) of poison increases in the other leaves. “It’s like the injured leaves telephoning the others to fight together against the enemy,” he said. The tree also sends defense messages to neighboring plants by giving out a special smell. Golden Wattle trees in the nearby 45 meters will get the message and produce more poison within 10 minutes. Now, if an enemy eats too many of the trees’ leaves, he will die. Every kind of plant or tree is good at producing a special set of chemicals. Herbivores, like rabbits, can safely eat the leaves of one tree, but they may be poisoned by its neighbor. In this way, plants have not only developed their own defense system, but also shared it with others. This makes it impossible for a single animal to destroy even a small area of forest. 1．From the first 2 paragraphs, we can learn that _________. A. plants can do nothing against their enemies B. chemicals are quite useful for plants to survive C. an antelope can always run away from a strong lion D. leaves, roots, flowers and fruits of plants are poisonous 2．If anima ls eat one Golden Wattle tree’s leaves, the tree can________. A. kill the animals with a special smell B. tell other trees to come to protect it C. warn other trees against the animals on the phone D. send defense messages to the neighboring plants 3．The u nderlined word “herbivores” in the 5th paragraph probably means animals which _____. A．produce poison B．live on small animals C．like to eat rabbits D．feed on plants or grass 4．The last paragraph of the passage suggests that this kind of defense system is ________. A．bad for animals B．good for forests C．helpful to some animals D．harmful to forests 5．The passage is mainly about __________.
