People in Los Angeles are known for their love of cars. The city is very large, and its public transportation is slow. So people drive everywhere. But now, a group of bicyclists are trying to get people out of their cars and on bikes.

Devon Fitzgerald says he has to be careful when he rides his bike in the streets. “A lot of people are in a rush, and it's very difficult to keep careful, for they would rather care for their speed than your safety.” Although riding a bike to work can be dangerous, he prefers it to a car. “It's much simpler than driving a car. For example, I don't have to worry about parking.”

Roger Rosas drives to work. "You always have to make sure you look to the other side because someone would rush across by bike. Or you can easily get into an accident. "

To make bicycling safer, some people who live and work near each other are riding to work together, which they call a "bike train". Nona Varnado helped create the group L. A. Bike Trains. "You're in a big group. If you're afraid of riding alone, you can now ride with experienced riders. " Nona said that people would feel safer by riding together in a group.

I still remembered my first day of second grade. I was led to a room. No teacher yet. Girls talking. Boys trying to kill each other.

I took some paper and a pencil, picked a desk, and went to work. Minutes later, a girl came over and sat on top of my desk.

“What're you doing?” she said.

“Writing to 100,” I replied.

“Is that you can do?”

“No,” I said.

Then I rose from my seat to get my pencil sharpener. I had no idea that when I stood, the desk would fall over and hurt her leg.

Her name was Jane. From that day on--she was my best friend. Wherever we went--to school or church or basketball games, Jane saved me a seat or I saved one for her.

Many years later, after college, I moved to California and married. Jane stayed in our hometown to be a social worker. We were friends for more than 50 years. After her death seven years ago, I still think of her often, especially at the start of the school year.

TV ads try to tell us what children need for school—new shoes, clothes, backpacks. But really, children's needs are simple. Besides the basics—to be fed, cared for, and loved—they need the gift of friendship.

For years, I feared how people saw me. But one day, I finally understood. I didn't need to be smart or pretty or popular. I just needed to be kind.

My grandson Henry recently finished his preschool and received a priz e for “Friendship”. Even an Olympic medal wouldn't make me prouder! I think children need to know that they are loved. They need to know that they have all they need and the best way to win friends is to be one.

5. When she came into the classroom, the writer ________.

A. went to talk with Jane quickly

B. helped Jane write the numbers to 100

A. the writer's leg was hurt on the first day of school

B. the two girls were close friends until Jane died

7. Henry received a prize for "Friendship" probably because _________.

A. he was kind to others

B. he was smart at his schoolwork

C. he was loved by his grandma

D. he joined in the Olympics

8.The best title of this article would be__________.

A. My Best Friend Jane

B. How to Choose Friends

C. My First Day at School

D. Friendship Values

C

The winter of 1948 was very difficult for our family of eight living in Knoxvile, Tennessee. Unfortunately, Dad became ill and soon was out of a job. I was only 8 years old and my younger brother, Buddy was 7. After school we went to pick coal(煤) that fell from the coal train along the railroad near our home. When the train slowed down, we ran alongside it. After the train passed, we picked up the fallen coal.

One day, the train stopped for a short time unusually. My brother and I were digging around in the snow when the train's fireman came to the window and shouted to us, “Why are you boys digging in the snow? Are you looking for gold?” he laughed.

“No, sir,” I replied, “We are finding coal.”

“Why doesn't your daddy buy coal? It's really dangerous here.”

“Our daddy is very sick and we have no money to buy food and coal,” I answered.

The fireman turned and went inside. After a moment, he shouted again. “Hey! Bring that coal bucket(桶子) here. I got something for you.” Then the fireman filled our bucket with clean coal. We were happy with his gift, and we knew we could go home early that day.

He smiled the kindest and warmest smile I had ever seen. “You two boys come here the day after tomorrow and I'll throw off some coal.”

Two days later, Buddy and I stood by the railroads as the train slowed down. The fireman waved to us, then disappeared. Suddenly, some coal and a piece of red cloth came out. In the red cloth were two pieces of bubble gum(泡泡糖) and a new one-dollar bill.

All that winter, three days a week, we received a bucket of coal, a gift and, sometimes, money.

I never knew the person's full name, but to our family, he was a guardian angel.

Many kids do housework such as doing the dishes, making the bed, and folding the clothes. In exchange, they get some money or other computer time.

Paying kids for housework is one of the most popular topics, especially at a time when everyone is more careful about money. Some parents think since adults are paid to do their jobs, we should pay kids for everyday housework.

But some people don't think kids should get rewards(报酬) for doing housework. Susie Walton, an expert, believe that by rewarding kids, parents are sending a message that work isn't worth doing unless you get something in return. “Running any kind of housework is a team effort,” Walton said. “A home is a living space for everyone in the family. It's important for kids to see that we all have responsibilities in the house, and families decide how they want their home to look, and how they are going to keep it looking like what they want.”

Other people believe that getting a reward encourages kids to do housework, and it also teaches them real world lessons about how we need to work to get money. There are also apps(程序) that gives kids points and digital gifts that can be redeemed(兑现) either online or in the real world. “Our goal is to give kids lawful power so they can get rewards,” says Chris Bergman. “And kids need rewards to help encourage them. ”

6. Which of the following housework is NOT mentioned in Paragraph 1?

A. Washing the dishes.

B. Cooking meals.

C. Folding the clothes.

D. Making the bed.

7. The underlined phrase “in return” in Paragraph 3 has the same meaning as “_____”.

A. as a reward

B. for punishment

C. on sale

D. under control

8. What's Walton's idea in the passage?

A. Running exercise is a kind of team work.

B. People work to get some rewards.

D. Doing the housework in only the parents' job.

9. According to Chris Bergman, kids should be encouraged to ______.

A. do housework without rewards

B. do more housework

C. stay away from housework

D. do housework by getting rewards

10. Which is the best title for the passage?

A. Kids Should Study as Well as Doing Housework

B. Let Children Do Some Housework

C. Should Kids Be Rewarded for Doing Housework

D. Doing Housework Is Good for Children's Study

C

Last summer I went to one of the world's most famous historical places, the Forbidden City in Beijng, China. It was the home of the emperors of the last two dynasties (朝代) in China, the Ming and Qing Dynasties.

The Forbidden City was built in 1420. The palace has over 10,000 rooms. It was where the emperors dealt with the official business with their ministers.

In Mandarin, The Forbidden City is called the Purple Forbidden City. However, the color of the palace itself is not purple. The color purple stands for power of the great emperors of China. It was so sacred(神圣的) that the commoners could not even dream of ever going in.

The emperors also had some of the largest festival celebrations at the Forbidden City. During Chinese New Year, the emperor would invite all the members of his family and his officials to a banquet. The banquet had a hundred and eight Chinese dishes. It was such an expensive banquet that it could feed a commoner's family for three generations(代).

Right now The Forbidden City is known as a historical site for tourists from all over the world. Everyone can go in there. It is a museum with priceless Chinese antiques (古董) and treasures in it.

I really learned a lot about the Chinese culture and its history from this trip to The Forbidden City. It was like a dream come true to go on the trip and see the things that I have always wanted to see.

11. How long is the history of the Forbidden City?

A. About 600 years.

B. More than 600 years.

C. 1,420 years.

D. Over 10,000 years.

12. We call the palace the Purple Forbidden City because the color purple is the symbol for ____ of the emperor.

Sydney Fredette has a lot of things to deal with. Not only is she a high school student, but she has also set up her own organization, Beary Merry Christmas. She volunteers（自愿）to serve poor kids and families in Orange Country in California, US.

To remember her best friend who died of cancer nearly 10 years ago, Fredette decided to serve those in Orange Country who are less lucky than she is.

She began with the simple idea of collecting donated(捐赠的)Build-A-Bears,the popular toy animal that is made by children themselves in the stores' workshops. Fredette then gave them as gifts to the homeless children in California during the holiday season.

With donations at more than 100 bears a year, Fredette and volunteers host activities every year, where volunteers not only give out the bears, but also clothing, meals, and other things.

Not wanting to limit（限制）the giving to just the holiday months, Fredette now hosts other activities for Valentine's Day, Mother's Day and Halloween, providing the chance for her volunteer

team to make a difference through the year.

“I love making relationships with the people I serve,” Fredette said. “The thanks they have, hearing their stories and seeing how happy they are, it's so cool.”

Future plans for Fredette include building a public food bank and providing a

self-development class for students in her school who will soon attend college.

Heading to college herself in the fall, Fredette is looking to stay local and continue to help out in her hometown. In fact, she was regarded as a “Dreamer & Doer” not long ago for her work in improving her community, along with 32 other high school students.

More Chinese universities are opening their libraries to the public, allowing people to enjoy reading during normal time and the vacations.

But for some students, including Wang Ling, 21, in Sun Yat-sen University, this practice has caused headaches. “Members of the public come to our libraries more for sightseeing than reading,” said Wang.

“They sometimes even bring their kids along, and take photos as if it were a place of interest.”

Wang has found it hard to get a seat during busy times. Being short of space is a common problem for university libraries in China.

However, this is not the only reason why students dislike their libraries being open to members of the public. They fear that the quietness of the libraries will be influenced because of visitors' rude behavior.

Chen Jie, 18, a student in Tongji University, is one who would be against opening to the public. “I hav e been to a public library before. People were chatting loudly or speaking on cell phone so you can hardly read,” Chen said. She notices teachers doing serious reading and feels their concentration（专注）has influenced her. “If too many strangers stay here, t he whole library will be a noisy place and it's difficult for us to study quietly,” she said.

Will there be alternative（可替代的）ways to share those libraries? Some experts consider that university libraries can prevent the public from entering certain areas. “We might keep magazines for academic research only for teachers and students,” said Zhu Lina, library director in Jinan University.

Working together with the community library is another solution. “It's possible that a member of the public can order a bo ok in our library over the Internet,” Ge Jianxiong, the library director in Fudan University said. “We'll send it to a public libraries close to their home.”

8. We can see from the passage that Wang Ling .

A. hates to study in the library

B. prefers sightseeing to reading

C. feels good to play with kids

D. is a university student aged 21

9. In Chen Jie's opinion, visitors to university libraries may .

A. take up too much space

B. break the peace there

C. make teachers relaxed

D. get students to read more

10. The writer mentions two libraries directors' words to help explain how to .

A. manage libraries online

B. keep the public polite

C. share university libraries

D. do scientific research

11. Where is the passage most probably taken from?

A. A newspaper.

B. A library guide.

C. A story book.

D. A notice board.

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.

12. 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

13. The third paragraph mainly tells us about the of driverless cars.

A. instructions

B. standards

C. advantages

D. tests

14. The underlined word “potentially” in Paragraph 4 means ““.

A. possibly

B. successfully

C. especially

D. naturally

15. 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.

Last year, I went to Beijing Qizhi Special Education School for community service（社区服务）.Bef ore we took the bus, my friend asked me a question, “Why are you here?” I did not know how to answer the question.

The school was not far from my school, but it looked like it was in a different world. A group of children were waiting for us. A boy walked toward me. He held my hands and pulled me to the ground. I kissed the earth and tasted nature.

I could not understand what he was doing at first, then I was very angry. Though I was very angry, I controlled my anger.

A teacher stopped this awkward（尴尬的）sil ence when she shouted at the boy. “What are you doing right here, right now?” she said. “You will never see your mom again if you keep doing this. Now, say sorry!” “Sorry,” he cried fearfully and nervously. I said nothing, but I realized something about t his child. After lunch I asked the teacher for information about the child's parents.

She said that the child was very different from other students because of an illness. His family could not afford to treat him. He needed the kindness of his family, but they had abandoned him. So he depended on the support from the teachers and community service workers like us.

I suddenly realized I could answer the question my friend asked me at the beginning of the day.

Community service workers help others and make everyone feel better. There are so many people in the world that need help. Playing with lonely children may not make a big difference. But it can light a corner in the children's hearts, making them know they are loved by people.

The Silk Road is the name of different roads that long ago connected Europe, Africa and Asia. People reached these different places along these roads. Scientists believe people began to travel the Silk Road about 3,000 years ago. By the time the Chinese silk trade became important in the world, the Silk Road covered almost 6,500 kilometers. It spread from Rome to China, which is from the West to the Far East.

Traders travelling along the Silk Road carried silk, of course. They also carried and traded spices（香料）,cloth, valuable stones and gold.

There is a famous old story along the old road. It is said that Roman soldiers（士兵）travelled through central Asia. They started to live somewhere near the ancient Chinese village of Liqian. Some of these Romans married local Chinese women and the story of blue-eyed villages of China was started.

During its busiest period, the Silk Road allowed people from many different cultures and

countries to meet each other and mix. The Silk Road allowed the sharing of valuable goods and new ideas. These included people and trading goods from the Mediterranean, Persian, Magyar, Armenian, Bactrian, Indian and Chinese areas. All these peoples travelled the Silk Road, and they shared goods, stories, languages, and cultures.

In modern times, the old Silk Road routes（路线）are still used, but now they are crossed by trains instead of camels and horses. There is even a Silk Route Museum in Jiuquan in China. It has over 35,000 objects from all along the Silk Road. In this way, China protects the history of many countries and peoples.

6. How many kilometers did the Silk Road cover?

We often face the following situations in our daily life:

●The woman next door plays her piano after 12 o'clock at night.

●The family across the street never cleans up their yard. The rubbish blows into your

yard.

●The man next door always parks his car in front of your drive.

Have things li ke this ever happened to you? If so, you may ask yourself, “Who are these people? Why are they doing these things to me?”

These days, many people don't know their neighbors. Sometimes we share a friendly smile or say hello, but lots of people don't even know their neighbor's names! When you don't know someone, it's easy to be angry when something has happened that you think is unfair. You think, “Maybe they like to make me angry, “or “Maybe they do it on purpose.” Believe it or not, your neighbors probably don't mean to irritate（激怒）you. Often, they don't even know that they're making you feel angry. So before you take unusual steps to fix the problem, you should discuss it with them first.

When you move towards your neighbors, you should talk to them in a friendly manner. Praise their children to make them feel good. Then explain the situation. And if you can think of a simple way to solve the problem, suggest it.

If talking doesn't work, ask another person to help. This person can listen to both sides of the story and help you and your neighbor solve the situation.

Finally, sometimes it's a good idea to avoid the problem. Depending on the problem, it might be best to just stay out of your neighbor's way.

11. What's the writer's purpose of writing paragraphs 1&2?

A. To ask some questions.

B. To lead in the subjects.

C. To list some situations.

D. To tell some stories.

12. You should talk about the problem with your neighbors first because ________.

A. they often say hello or smile to you

B. you do not know what they are called

C. they probably don't plan to make you unhappy

D. they will take unusual steps to solve the problem

13. When talking with your neighbors, you can make them have a good feeling by _______.

A. praising their children

B. explaining the problem

C. shaking hands with them

D. making friends with them

14. The best way to solve the problem sometimes is to ________.

A. ask another person for help

B. turn a blind eye to it.

C. tell the story to your friend

D. let your neighbor get out of the way

15. What does the passage mainly talk about?

A. Ways to deal with neighbors

B. Problems caused by neighbors

C. Situations we may face every day

D. Reasons why we become angry at neighbors

2018年中考英语热点专题突破训练： 任务型阅读 （一） （2017年齐齐哈尔） A little stream(小溪) ran down from a high mountain through many villages and forests. Then it reached a desert. “I went through so many difficulties. I should have no problem crossing the desert,” she thought. As she started, she found herself slowly vanishing(消失)into the sand. After many tries, she still failed. “Maybe I can’t reach the ocean,” she said sadly to herself. At this time, a deep voice said, “If wind can cross the desert, so can a river.” It wa s the voice of the desert. But the little stream answered, “That’s because the wind can fly, but I can not.” “That’s because you can’t give up what you are. Let yourself evaporate(蒸发)into the wind and it can take you across me,” said the desert. “Give up what I am now? No! No!” The little stream could not accept this idea. “The wind can carry the vapor(蒸汽)across the desert and let it leave as rain. The rain will form a river again,” said the desert. “And whether you’re a river or vapor, your nature ne ver changes.” After hearing this, the little stream went into the open arms of the wind. It carried her to the next stage of her life. The course of our lives is like the experience of the little stream. If you want to go through difficulties in your life to head for success, you should also change the way you are. Answer the following questions according to what you read. 1. Did the little stream want to reach the ocean or the desert at last? ____________________________________________ 2.

浙江温州市2018年中考英语试题((含答案及详细答案解析)

浙江温州市2018年中考英语试卷(含答案及详细答案解析) 一、单项填空 1. ---Will you go to _____ school-leavers' party tomorrow? --- Certainly. I'm going with my parents. A. a B. an C. the D. / 【答案】C 【解析】句意：---你明天会去参加离校生的派对吗？---当然。我要和父母一起去。这里指的是“那个”离校生的派对，不是随便的某一个派对，是特指，故选定冠词the，选C。2. ---What was the _______ of the football match last night? --- AC Milan won the game. A. value B. result C. choice D. decision 【答案】B 【解析】句意：---昨天晚上的足球比赛的结果是什么？--- AC米兰赢得了比赛。从答句可以看出前者是在问比赛的结果，选项A“价值”，选项B“结果”，选项C“选择”，选项D“决定”，故选B。 点睛：本题是名词辨析类型的题目，这类题的破题点在于前面句子中的关键词，本题看到“football match”、“won”就直接能知道在讨论的是比赛的结果，就能直接得出答案（result）。 3. The cheese cake ______ so good that I can’t wait to eat it. A. tastes B. feels C. sounds D. smells

【解析】句意：这块奶酪蛋糕闻起来很好所以我迫不及待要吃了它。选项A“尝起来”，选项B“摸起来”，选项C“听起来”，选项D“闻起来”。“so…that”是“如此…以至于”，这里说蛋糕闻起来很香以至于我迫不及待要吃，说明一开始并没有吃，只是闻了闻。故选D。点睛：本题是感官类系动词的考察，但只要对这类词的意义有着清晰的认识也能轻松破解。本题的关键在“so …that”，既然是“以至于…”就说明前面的动作貌似对后面的“吃”产生了影响，所以前面没吃，不选taste（尝起来），选D。 4. ---Did you find the way to the new library? --- Sure. Mr. White gave me very ______ directions. A. clear B. private C. creative D. common 【答案】A 【解析】句意：---你找到通往新图书馆的路了吗？---当然。怀特先生给了我很多明确的指导。选项A“清晰的”，选项B“私人的”，选项C“有创意的”，选项D“普通的”。答句说找到了路，说明怀特先生提供的肯定是“清晰的、清楚的”方向，故选A。 5. Betty kept silent at first _______ soon she joined the other girls, chatting and laughing. A. so B. but C. or D. because 【答案】B 【解析】句意：贝蒂一开口就保持沉默，但是不久她就加入了其他女孩，一起聊天和笑。选项A“所以”，选项B“但是”，选项C“或者”，选项D“因为”，前半句中的贝蒂是沉默的，后来开始聊天，开始欢笑，说明有明显的转折关系，故选B。 6.
