Alexander Graham Bell was born in Scotland, in 1847.

Alexander's grandfather, father and uncle were all public speakers. His father was also the inventor of Visible Speech, a writing system used to help the deaf learn to speak. Alexander learnt to use Visible Speech from his father. He was so good at it that he helped his father in many public demonstrations(演示).

When Alexander was about 12 years old, his mother became almost deaf. He loved his mother very much, and wanted to find a way to help her communicate better with the world. He did a lot of experiments. For example, he talked to her in a low voice close to her forehead so she would be able to understand him from the vibrations (震动) his voice made.

In 1870, the Bell family moved to Canada. Alexander, now 23, got a job at a deaf school because he wanted to help more deaf people to communicate.

Later, Alexander became a professor at Boston University. He read a book by a German physicist. A French mistranslation of this book said sound could be sent over a wire. It made bell experiment by sending sound with electricity. Bell was trying to improve a machine called the telegraph. One day, his assistant in another room moved a piece of metal. Bell heard it on the wire in another room. He realized sound could be sent and heard over a wire. This shortly led to the invention of the telephone in 1876.

1. Why did Alexander help his father in many public demonstrations?

_____________________________________________________________________________________ 2. What made Bell experiment by sending sound with electricity?

_____________________________________________________________________________________ 3. What do you think the passage is mainly about?

_____________________________________________________________________________________

答案：

1. Because Alexander was so good at using Visible Speech.

2. That a French mistranslation of this book said sound could be sent over a wire and it made Bell experiment by sending sound with electricity.

3. The passage is mainly about the man who changed communication.

2020年中考英语阅读理解专题练习《热点话题》(含答案)

2020年中考英语阅读理解专题练习《热点话题》新科技 Passage1(2019台州) Brooke wanted a doll house and some sugar cookies. So the 6yearold asked Alexa to get them. Alexa wasn't her mom or babysitter. It was a voiceactivated home assistant powered by AI(人工智能). And it made Brooke's wishes come true. A few days later, much to her parents' surprise, a $170 dollhouse and four pounds of cookies showed up. They ate the cookies and gave away the dollhouse to a local hospital. And that's not the end of the story. When a news reporter told the story of what happened on TV, Alexa devices(设备)in many listeners' homes woke up and tried to order dollhouses! Alexa isn't the only AI willing to serve you. Apple Homepod has Siri, Google Home has its Assistant, and the upcoming Galaxy Home device will have Bixby. People who have these devices use them mainly for listening to music, checking the weather, and setting timers. According to a report from The Information, nowadays voice shopping is rare. But many scientists predict a boom(增长) in voice shopping in the near future. Is that a good thing ________. You can shout out an order as soon as you think of it, even if you are cooking, cleaning, o r driving. In addition, people with disabilities who are unable to use a keyboard or mouse can shop without any help. But voice shopping has its disadvantages. Unwanted dollhouses aren't the biggest problem. It's usually very easy to cancel an order or return products. The thing t hat worries some people is that these assistants are always listening. They have to be able to respond when you want them. So they listen for “Alexa” or “OK Google” or another order. When they hear it, they start recording the conversation. Some have worried about what happens to these recordings. Should companies be allowed to use them to learn about people's shopping habits And what if someone hacks(入侵) the device The CIA found a way to hack smart TVs to turn them into spies that listen all the time. Others could do the same with any smart device. What do you think Are you ready to start voice shopping ( )1. From the passage, we know that Alexa ________． A. can look after the baby B. can cook delicious food C. is a toy doll sold online D. is one kind of AI device ( )2. The underlined word “rare” in Paragraph 2 probably means ________． A. unusual B. expensive C. harmful D. impossible ( )3. Which of the following is the best to fill in the “________” in Paragraph 3 A. Convenience is the main advantage of voice shopping B. The cost of voice shopping is lower than other ways C. The popularity of voice shopping is increasing D. The technology of voice shopping needs improving ( )4. Paragraph 4 mainly tells us that ________ when people try voice shopping. A. AI sometimes forgets people's orders B. personal information might be hacked C. it's difficult to cancel or return products D. the needs for products can't be satisfied Passage2(2019宿迁) Technology is developing fast and it has become an important part of our life.

中考英语听力与口语注意事项

浅析中考英语听力口语考试技巧听力口语考试是中考英语考试的第一仗，只有打好这一仗，才能不输在起跑线上，才更有冲击名校的资本。由于英语不是我们的母语，在日常学习中我们缺乏有利的环境，所以很多孩子在听力口语这方面都比较弱。下面我们就来浅析一下有关中考英语听力口语考试的考试技巧，希望能对需要的孩子有所帮助。首先要谈一谈有关听力考试的部分，听力在整个分数比重中占据三分之二，有20分之多，其重要性可见一斑。听力考试部分常常是“听对话回答问题”和“听对话和短文回答问题”这两个题型，其考查点主要围绕以下几个方面：(1)Who:谁；(2)What:做什么(What …do)；职业(What)；颜色(What color)；(3)Where:地点；(4)When:时间；(5)Why:原因(6)How:身体、天气、学习情况等怎么样(How)；年龄(How old);数量(How many,How much)；(7)时态运用等(一些细节性问题的考查，比如关于天气，询问前阵子天气或者昨天的天气)。以上总结起来就是5个Wh-word，一个How，这些几乎可以涵盖所有的问题，牢记这些将对我们的听力考试大有裨益。不管什么题目都会有相应的解题技巧，听力考试也无例外。下面想要和大家分享听力考试的三大技巧：技巧一认真阅读选项，学会预测在每段听力开始之前，都会给你一段时间来阅读题目，这段时间非常重要，因为很多时候我们可以通过选项来预测可能会问哪些问题，所以我们需要掌握预测这项技能。预测是在做听力理解之前根据各种暗示,如所给答案选项,段落或对话标题等已有知识，对即将听到的段落或对话内容进行预测，下面是一些实例：(1)A.At a post office B.At the cinema C.In a shop这三个选项都是说明的地点，A：在报亭；B：在电影院；C:在商店，很显然是关于where的提问,问题应该是关于什么事件或动作发生的地点。(2)A.8:45 B.8:30 C.8:15这三个选项都是说明的时间，很显然是关于when提问,问题应该是关于什么事件或动作发生的时间。(3) A.Jim B.Lucy C.Kate这三个选项都是人名，很显然是关于who提问，问题应该是问什么事件或动作发生的执行者。(4)A.2 dollars B.4dollars C.6dollars这三个选项都是说明的钱数，很显然是关于how much提问，问题应该是有关价钱的。(5)A.By bike. B.By bus. C.On foot这三个选项都是说明的交通方式，很显然是关于how提问，问题应该是有关去某地是采用何种交通方式。技巧二学会做简要笔记，记下关键信息听录音时快速，准确，简要地记下有关信息(包括数字，人名，地名，关键词)，前提是不要影跟听速度，采用自己习惯的符号，一定要采用自己习惯的方式，千万不要出现自己看不懂自己写的东西的情况。例：How much will the man pay for the tickets？ A.$18 B.$24 C.$30原文：W：Tickets for the movie are$6for adults,half price for children.（注意：这里提及了两种票，成人票和儿童票，二者票价不一）M:All right,I’d like three tickets for adults and two tickets for children,please.笔记可简化为：$6 A(代表adult)，1/2C，3A+2C或大6（3），小3(2) 听力考试中尤其需要注意数字类的题目，此类题目常常是考试中设置陷阱的地方，因而我

1饮食与健康一、阅读理解（共20小题；共40分） A Healthy eating doesn't just mean what you eat, but how you eat. Here is some advice on healthy eating. Eat with others. It can help you to see others' healthy eating habits. If you usually eat with your parents, you will find that the food you eat is more delicious. Listen to your body. Ask yourself if you are really hungry. Have a glass of water to see if you are thirsty—sometimes you are just thirsty, you need no food. Stop eating before you feel full. Eat breakfast. Breakfast is the most important meal of the day. After you don't eat for the past ten hours, your body needs food to get you going. You will be smarter after eating breakfast. Eat healthy snacks like fruits, yogurt or cheese. We all need snacks sometimes. In fact, it's a good idea to eat two healthy snacks between your three meals This doesn't mean that you can eat a bag of chips instead of a meal. Don't eat dinner late. With our busy life, we always put off eating dinner until the last minute. Try to eat dinner at least 3 hours before you go to bed. This will give your body a chance to digest most of the food before you rest for the next 8-10 hours. 1. The writer gives us pieces of advice on healthy eating. A. 4 B. 5 C. 6 D. 7 2. Which snack is Not mentioned in the passage? A. Fruits. B. Yogurt. C. Chips. D. Ice cream. 3. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage? A. Snacks are bad for our health. B.

中考英语英语阅读理解训练经典题目(含答案)

中考英语英语阅读理解训练经典题目(含答案) 一、英语阅读理解专项练习试卷 1．阅读理解 One Saturday, we were preparing to go away for the weekend when my daughter heard cries for help. When I went out, I discovered our elderly neighbor had fallen on her front steps. She was clearly in pain, so I helped her inside her house and settled here on the bed. I noticed her room was very narrow and dark. It was obvious she hadn't cleaned it for a long time. She insisted she didn't need an ambulance（救护车）and that someone would be around soon, so I left her with a bottle of water at her side. As I left I felt sad when I realized that we hadn't communicated with her, except a few smiles, for the past 18 months. She didn't know my name and I didn't know hers, and I hadn't even noticed that she hadn't been outside for weeks because of bad pain in her back. That weekend I visited my grandmother for her 80th birthday and noticed how clean and spacious her flat seemed in comparison to my neighbour's. My neighbour, as far as I knew, had no family regularly dropping by. When I returned home I went to visit her. Very grateful to see me, she explained she was okay. Yet, unable to bend down due to her back, her kitchen was filling with garbage that she was unable to take out by herself. We've become good friends and chat every second day. She keeps thanking me for my kindness, but I enjoy helping her. Now, every time I return from putting out her garbage, collecting her mail or just chatting, I feel a deep sense of satisfaction and peace. （1）What happened when they were preparing to go away? A. The daughter was crying for help. B. The daughter was still sleeping in bed. C. Nobody came to look after the old woman. D. Their elderly neighbor fell down. （2）Why did the author feel sad when she left the old woman's house? A. The house she lived in was very small and dark. B.
