A

A famous study was done in a school by a professor from a university. At the start of the school year, the teachers were given the names of five children. They were told that these five were the most excellent students in the class. But the fact was that these students were only average, and they were not the best students at all. Well, guess what? At the end of the year, all the five average students scored among the highest in the class.

What made these average students change so much to become top students? The only difference was the change in their teachers’ attitude. Because the teachers believed that these five kids were top students, they expected more from them. And so these five average students became to believe and expect more from themselves. So they worked harder to do as well as they could.

Do you know? If you expect the best from people, they’ll usually want to give you their best. A great leader said, “Treat a person just how he appears to be on the outside, and you’ll make him even worse. But treat a person like he’s already a success, and you’ll help make him the best he can be.”

Like the true story of 7-year-old Johnny, his teacher got so angry with him that one day she said, “Johnny, you’re the naughtiest boy in this class. I’m sure you’ll never change.” The next year Johnny had a new teacher. And on the first day of class, she met with Johnny after school and said, “Johnny, I’ve heard a lot about you! But do you know that I don’t believe a word of it.” And every day after that, this new teacher treated Johnny as if he was one of the smartest students even when Johnny did

naughty things. Later on, Johnny became a school leader, because th at’s the power of our belief and attitude towards children.

“Save the whales!” That’s what the picture on Jake Smith’s bedroom wall said. Jake liked having a picture that said something important: that showed he cared. He just never expected to get a chance to save a real whale, one right in his own neighbourhood.

It was a Saturday morning when the newspaper first reported the whales’ coming.

A group of the animals were swimming close to the beach in Jake’s hometown. All the local people rushed out to the beach to see them. They were expecting a beautiful show, better than a movie, but nothing they’d have to do anything about.

Then one whale swam in the direction, directly towards land. It came in with the waves, and when the waves receded. Its huge body on the sand. Suddenly, Jake and his family and all the others were no longer sightseers. They had to become rescuers. A few people ran towards the animal. They pushed and tried to force the whale back into the water, but it was no use.

An animal rescue service team soon arrived in a truck with heavy lifting machinery, to help move the animal. Jack and his family couldn’t do much on the beach, so they went back to their house and made sandwiches and hot tea for the rescuers. At least, Jake thought, they could help in some way.

Back at the beach, they offered the food to the rescuers and were happy to see that it was needed. It was getting dark. Some people lined up their cars along the beach and shined the headlights on the sand. The rescuers would not give up. After trying many times they were finally able to lift the whale into the water. Everyone cheered when it headed out to sea. It swam out about a mile and then disappeared for a moment under the sea. Then, in what looked like a jump of joy, it rose high above the water—a thank-you to those who had worked so hard to save his life.

( )26. What does the picture on Jake’s wall tell us about him?

A.He lived near the ocean.

B. He cared about the environment.

C. He worked as an animal rescuer.

Rob Frenette had problems with bullies(欺辱) at school for eleven years. He was often lonely and scared. When he was fifteen, however, he decided to do something about his problems. He walked into a newspaper office and told them about the bullying. His story went into the newspaper and soon all the TV stations in Canada wanted to talk to him about his experiences. They also wanted to hear his ideas to stop

bullying.

After that, Rob continued his studies at school, but in his free time he helped other people with bullying problems. With a friend Katie Neu, he made a website called www. bullyingcanada. ca. Visitors to the website can find advice, stories and poems about bullying, in both English and French. When people are upset, they can talk on the phone or online to Rob and his team. Every weekend Rob has to answer e-mails to the website. He also speaks to children, teachers and members of government around the country about bullying.

Rob’s most important message is: “When bullies are unkind to you, it isn’t your fault. There’s nothing wrong with you, so you should try to keep trusting yourself. And remember that people care about your problems. You just have to find those people.”

One of Rob’s ideas is “Blue Day”, a special day for stopping bullying in schools. Students have to wear blue clothes and in class they learn how to stop bullying. More than 150 Canadian schools now celebrate Blue Day, but Rob won’t stop until there’s a Blue Day in every school in Canada.

“Calm down?! What if your son was in this room right now? Would you calm down? If you own son dies while waiting for a doctor, then what will you do?” said the father angrily. The doctor smiled again and replied,“We wi ll do our best and you should also pray(祈祷)for your son’s healthy life.”

The surgery took some hours after which the doctor went out happy,“Thank goodness! You son is saved！” And without waiting for the father’s reply he carried on his way running by sayin g,“If you have any questions, ask the nurse.”

“Couldn’t he wait some minutes so that I can ask my son’s state?” shouted the father when seeing the nurse minutes after the doctor left.

Have you ever had trouble sleeping in a new place?

Lots of people do. And now researchers from Brown University in Rhode Island think they know why. They found that one-half of the brain “remains more awake” than the other half when people are trying to sleep in a new place.

The sleep findings were reported in Current Biology by Brown University. In their report, the researchers said many people report they have a harder time sleeping the first night at a hotel or other places outsi de their home. They call it “first-night influence”. “In Japan they say,‘If you change your bed, you can’t sleep.’”said Y uka

Sasaki, one of the report’s writers. “You don’t sleep very well in a new place. We all know about it.”

The researchers measured brain waves(测量脑波) for 35volunteers over two nights in a laboratory. The two nights were a week apart(间隔). They found during the first night the left half of the brain was more active than the right half. This was during the first deep sleep period, the researchers said.

Sasaki said a lot of questions remain.

Researchers did not keep measuring brain waves all night long. So, they don’t know if the left half keeps“watch” all night, or whether it “works in shifts(轮换) with the right half later in the night”. T hey also do not know why the brain activity, at least during the first period of deep sleep, is always on the left half.

For some, this research may be calming. It is good to know that our brain is “looking out for us” in a new place. But it may not help w ith sleep. That brain activity, at least according to this new research, makes it harder to get the sleep people need to wake up well rested in the morning.

( )51. How many times did the researchers measure brain waves for 35 volunteers?

A. Once

B. Twice

C. Three times

D. Four times

( )52. The researchers found _______ during the first deep-sleep period.

A.the brain waves remained the same

B. the brain activity help with sleep

C. the right half of the brain kept“watch”

D. the left half of the brain was more active

( )53. Which of the following is one of the questions that remain?

A. Whether the new bed keeps you from sleeping.

B. How you have trouble sleeping in a new place

C. Why the brain activity is always on the left half

D. What people can do when they can’t sleep well

( )54.The underlined word“calming”has the closest meaning to “______”.

A. pleasing

B. different

C. serious

D. strange

( )55. What is the text mainly about?

A.What we will have to do to sleep well

If you meet a British person in the street, it is very likely that he or she will apologize whether it is his or her fault or not.

It seems that Britain is becoming a nation where everyone is saying sorry. Almost each person says sorry about eight times each day and one in eight people apologize as

many as 20 times a day.

As you may have seen, the British apologize more often than members of other cultures. A research shows that in many cases, people’s love of saying sorry in Britain goes a little further than it does for Americans. For example, about 15 British people would say ”sorry” while only 10 from the US would do this if they sneezed, if they corrected someone’s mistake of if someone knocked into them.

In the old days, “sorry” was used to express regret and s adness for having done something wrong. But now British people use the expression as a way of showing good manners. For example, they might say “sorry” instead of “excuse me”, “pardon”, “what” or “whatever”.

People in Britain also use sorry when they share the same feeling with others—so they might say “sorry about the rain”.

However, British people’s use of “sorry” may make things very confusing and difficult for foreigners who are not familiar with their ways. But actually, people in Britain pay much attention to the feelings of others. This is the very reason why they apologize every day.

( )31.What does the passage mainly talk about?

A. What daily expressions British people often use.

B. How people in Britain keep in touch with foreigners.

C. The different meanings of sorry in and out of Britain.

D. Why British people say sorry many times every day.

( )32.In the old days, people said sorry when they _______.

A. did something wrong

B. asked the way

C. wanted to repeat something

D. made a choice

( )33.Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?

A. Americans say sorry more than British people.

B. Even British people get confused when they say sorry.

C. Almost every person in Britain says sorry 20 times a day.

D. The British also say sorry to share the same feeling with others.

( )34.From the passage we can learn that British people _______.

A. like to talk about the weather

B. care a lot about others

C. are difficult to get along with

D. love to correct mistakes

For many years,scientists have known that laughing is good for the health of our minds and bodies. Now we are learning that it’s not just laughter. Having fun and playing are also good for us! Researchers have found that play is good for people of all ages. Play actually leads to the growth of more nerve connections in the brain and gives us more brain power.

Play is necessary during childhood. As children play, they learn how to make friends and relate to others. They develop their imaginations and become more creative. Kids carry these qualities with them as they grow older.

Amy Whit comb teaches maths at a school in San Francisco. For several years, she has used games to teach maths. In one class, students play a game with small bags of candy to figure out how many pieces in the bags are red. When they get the correct answer, they can eat the candy! Amy says, ”If it’s not fun, they’re not going to want to be there. They’re not going to want to learn.”

The spirit of playfulness continues through the teenage years into adulthood. The famous company Google, for example, keeps a lot of toys and games at different places in their offices and encourages people to use them. Their motto is “Work hard. Play hard.” They know that people often get their best idea s when they are just “playing around ” and let their imaginations go wild.

So next time you have to solve a difficult maths problem or can’t think of a topic

for an article, take a short play break. Do a little dance, or play a quick game. Then come back to it. Maybe you’ll be surprised at what your brain can do.

( )37. The example of the company Google is given to show that _______.

A. play is also fit for adults

B. everyone there works hard

C. they have a lot of toys and games

D. it is very famous in the world

( )38. The underlined expression “figure out” in Paragraph 3 probably means

_______.

A.l ook after

B. solve the problem of

C. draw a picture of

D. play a joke on

( )39. According to the passage, you need to play if you _______.

A. want to make friends with others

B. have to do some homework

C. fail to think of a topic for an article

D. find a job in a big company ( )40. Which of the following can be the best title for the passage?

阅读理解 （一）（2017年荆州中考） A 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.

任务型阅读 （一） 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 was 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 never 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. Was the little stream able to cross the desert at first? ____________________________________________ 3.Who gave the advice to the little stream? ____________________________________________ 4.What did the little Stream do after hearing the desert's words? ____________________________________________ 5. What can you realize from the experience of the little stream in this passage? ____________________________________________ （二） 阅读下面短文，并用英语回答问题（请注意每小题后面的词数要求）。 There was once an old and deep well.

四川省眉山市2018年中考英语阅读理解专项练习 Name__________ Grade__________第三部分：阅读理解。 阅读短文，从题中所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 A A famous study was done in a school by a professor from a university. At the start of the school year, the teachers were given the names of five children. They were told that these five were the most excellent students in the class. But the fact was that these students were only average, and they were not the best students at all. Well, guess what? At the end of the year, all the five average students scored among the highest in the class. What made these average students change so much to become top students? The only difference was the change in their teachers’ attitude. Because the teachers believed that these five kids were top students, they expected more from them. And so these five average students became to believe and expect more from themselves. So they worked harder to do as well as they could. Do you know? If you expect the best from people, they’ll usually want to give you their best. A great leader said, “Treat a person just how he appears to be on the outside, and you’ll make him even worse. But treat a person like he’s already a success, and you’ll help make him the best he can be.” Like the true story of 7-year-old Johnny, his teacher got so angry with him that one day she said, “Johnny, you’re the naughtiest boy in this class. I’m sure you’ll never change.” The next year Johnny had a new teacher. And on the first day of class, she met with Johnny after school and said, “Johnny, I’ve heard a lot about you! But do you know that I don’t believe a word of it.” And every day after that, this new teacher treated Johnny as if he was one of the smartest students even when Johnny did
