Key KidsA grandmother friend I chatted with last week told me that she had been a latch-key child and there were lots of benefits. I asked her what the benefits were. She explained that her single mother took a full-time job when she was 9. This meant my friend was alone in the house until about 7 o’clock every night. Her mother wrote out a set of rules, gave her a key, and told her which neighbor to call if there was a problem. These were the days before pagers and cell phones so when she closed and locked the door behind her she was truly alone.
Benefits:1. She felt her mother trusted her and expected her to be responsible."This was a heady feeling. It made me feel good about myself."2. She learned how to cook.On weekends she and her mother prepared simple dishes together until her mother felt her daughter could safely cook supper for both of them. "I felt grown-up because none of my friends could get supper on the table and I could do it! Cooking is still my passion."3. She learned how to be content with just herself."When supper was cooking and my homework was done I wrote little poems, I wrote my thoughts in my diary, I listened to music, I read. TV was around but we didn't have a set."4. She learned how to deal with new or challenging things by herself."I didn't have a parent around to tell me what to do if the toilet didn't flush(冲洗) but I remembered my mom using a plunger(橡胶吸盘，俗称“拔子”) and I figured out how to do it."5. She learned how to deal with strong feelings like fear or loneliness."I was afraid sometimes in the beginning but I taught myself to figure out what was going on when I heard a noise."
All these points are worth thinking about. Mothers who don't go to work should try to give their children some of these benefits. An hour in the kitchen helping prepare supper is much better than an hour in front of the TV set.51. Latch-key children were kids ____________________.&& A. who stayed at home alone&&& && B. whose parents had full-time jobs&&&&&&&& &C. who closed and locked the door behind them, when their parents went to work.D.

Parents should teach their children some real living experience.
A linguist, an expert on language, is always listening, never off-duty. I invited a group of friends round to my house, telling them that I was going to record their speech. I said I was interested in their regional accents (地方口音), and that it would take just a few minutes. Thus, one evening, three people came to my house and were shown into my front room. In front of each chair there was a microphone at head height, connected to a recorder in the middle of the floor. They sat down, rather nervously and I explained that all I wanted was for them to count from one to twenty. Then we could relax and have a drink.I turned on the recorder and each in turn counted from one to twenty in their best accents. When it was over, I turned the recorder off and brought round the drinks. I joined them in talking and joking freely. Then I left them for a telephone call which lasted some time. The rest of the evening seemed to be spent in total relaxation.Or at least that is how it would appear. For, of course, the microphones were not connected to the recorder in the middle of the room at all but to another one in the bedroom. My friends, having seen the recorder before them turned off, paid no attention to the microphones a few inches from their mouths, thus giving excellent sound quality.I should add, perhaps, that I did tell my friends what had happened to them, after the recording was over, and asked them whether it should be destroyed. None of them wanted to — but for some years after that, it always seemed that when it came to buying drinks, it was I who paid for them. Linguistic research can be a very expensive business.56. The writer asked his friends to count from one to twenty because he _______________________.&& A. wanted to record how they pronounced numbers in their own regional accents&& B. had to check if the recorder was working&& C. wanted to them to believe that was all he would record&& D. wanted to discover who had the best pronunciation57. The writer connected the microphones to ___________________________.&& A. a recorder in his bedroom&&&&&&& B. his friends’ heads&& B. a recorder in his front room&&&&&& D. his friends’ mouths58.

The writer managed to get as ________ a piece of talk as it would be possible to find.&& A. natural&&&&&&& B. clear&&&&&&& C. excellent&&&&&&& D. expensive60. The last sentence of the passage shows______________________________.&& A. you will pay much money if you want to do some linguistic research work&& B. his friends always made him buy them drinks in return&& C. the writer’s kindness and humour&& D. linguistic research is a kind of business
&&&&&&& If you want to stay young, sit down and have a think. This is the research findings of a team of Japanese doctors, who say that most of our brains are not getting enough exercise, and as a result, we are growing old unnecessarily soon.Professor Taiju Matsuzawa wanted to find out why quite healthy farmers in northern Japan appeared to be losing their ability to think and reasons at a rather early age, and how the speed of getting old could be slowed down.With a team of resaerchers at Tokyo National Unversity, he set about measuring brain sizes of a thousand people of different ages with different jobs.Computer technology helped the researchers to get most exact measurement of the sizes of the front and side parts of the brain, which have something to do with thinking and feeling, and decide&&& the human character. As we all know, the back of the brain, which controls tasks like eating and breathing, does not contract (萎缩) with age.&&&&&&& Contraction of front and side parts, as cells die off, was seen in some people in their thirties, but it was still not found in some sixty and seventy-year-olds.&&&&&&& Matsuzawa concluded from his tests that there is a simple way to prevent the contraction—using the head.&&&&&&& The findings show that contraction of the brain begins sooner in people in the country than in the towns. Those with least possobility, says Matsuzawa, are lawyers, followed by university professors and doctors. White collar workers doing the same work day after day in government offices are, however, as possible to have contracting brains as the farm workers, bus drivers and shop assistants.61. The team of doctors wanted to find out_________________________.&& A. at what point people grow mentally old&& B. how to make people live longer&& C. the size of certain people’s brain&& D. which people are the most clever62. Their research findings are based on ___________________________.&& A. an examination of farmers in northern Japan&& B. tests given on a thousand old people&& C. examining the brain sizes of different people&& D. using computer technologies63. The doctors’ tests show that______________________.&& A. our brain contract as we grow older&& B. one part of the brain does not contract&& C. sixty-year-olds have betterbrains than thirty-year-olds&& D. some people’s brains have contracted earlier than other people’s64. According to the article, ___________ are growing mentally old earlier.&& A. engineers&&&&& B. office clerks&&&&& C. professors&&&&& D. researchers65. The most possible conclusion of the article is that _____________________.&& A. most of us should take more exercise&& B. the brain contracts if it is not used&& C. it’s better to live in the towns&& D. the more one uses his brain, the sooner he becomes old答案：51－55.

BNo one can change the weather. Nobody can control the weather. But if we read correctly the signs around us, we can tell what the more important changes in the weather will be. This way of telling what the weather will be like on the following day or two is called weather forecasting(天气预报). For many centuries and in all countries, people have studied the weather and tried to make weather forecasting. Rings around the sun are a sign of coming rain. That many people feel their joints(关节) hurt is a sign of wet weather. Some birds fly high if fine weather is coming, but they fly near the ground if rainy or stormy weather is on the way. If you see a rainbow(彩虹) during rainy weather, this is a sign that the weather will become clear and fine. Such rainbows come in the evening. If the stars twinkle clearly at night, then fine weather will continue. If a fog(雾) appears in the morning just above a river, then the day will be warm. If the sunset is mostly red in colour, then the following day will be fine. If a rainbow appears in the morning, rainy weather will probably come.Most of the above sayings have been made by the people who have used their eyes and brains to make weather forecasting.50. Which of the following can be used here to replace(取代) the underlined phrase “on the way”?&& A. away&&&B. gone&&&C. disappearing&&D. coming51. When you see the stars twinkle clearly at night, the weather will be_________.&& A. warm&&&B. rainy&&&C. clear and fine&&D. cold52. Which of the following signs can tell the weather will probably be rainy?&& A. A rainbow appears in the morning.&& B. Some birds fly high.&& C. The stars twinkle clearly at night.&& D. Fogs appear in the morning just above a river.
&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& COne of the things to be learnt in a foreign language is guessing all the time what kind of thing to come when listening to someone talking. People do this all the time in their own language, so it is necessary to do this in a foreign language, too. Here are some examples.1. "What's the matter？" "I went to a party last night, so I……"2. "I feel so tired these days."" I think you'd better…"3."Of course, she never stops talking. She is one of the most……"You can see from the above three examples that the context (上下文) helps a lot in understanding what is being talked about. So "guessing" is very important in understanding English, especially spoken English.53. This passage tells us mainly about _________.A. the importance of "guessing" in learning a foreign languageB. how to guess what one is going to talk about C. some examples of right guessingD. how important it is to guess all the time54.

"… so I got up very early."55. Maybe the finished answer in EXAMPLE 2 is ________.A. "I think you'd better have a good rest and take good care of yourself."B. "I think you'd better have something to drink."C. "I think you'd better get some help from your friends."D. "I think you'd better be more careful."56. Maybe the finished answer in EXAMPLE 3 is ______.A. "…… she is one of the most famous film stars."B. "……she is one of the most beautiful women."C. "……she is one of the most famous speakers."D.

Then lie down your body. Take care of your head. When you are in a public place, like supermarket or cinema, don't crowd in jam(拥挤) , or you may fall over and get hurt. Cross your arms to protect yourself. You can also find a place to hide.After the main shake, quickly run out of the dangerous building for there will be small earthquakes. If you are safe, remember not to engage the phone line, keep it free for rescue(援救)& using. Don't go to the hospital if you are not badly hurt, others will really need help.

When an big earthquake hit Wenchuan on May 12，many houses fell down. After the earthquake，all the newspapers reported many stories about some of the families who were in trouble.One Sunday，when I was reading a newspaper，a special picture touched（触动）me. It gave the clothing sizes of each family member. I thought that this would be a good chance to teach my children to help those who were less lucky than themselves. I said to my seven-year-old twins，Brad and Brett，and three-year-old Meghan. "We have so much，and these poor people now have nothing. We'll share what we have with them.”I filled a box with foods and clothes. While I was doing this，I encouraged(鼓励) the boys to choose their toys and donate some of their less favorite things. Meghan watched quietly as the boys took out his old toys and games and put them together. Then she walked away. A few minutes later she came back with Lucy，her much-loved doll. She put the doll on top of the other toys. "Oh，dear，”I said, “You don't have to give Lucy. You love her so much.” Meghan said，“Lucy makes me happy，Mommy. Maybe she'll make another little girl happy，too.”&& I looked at Meghan for a long moment. She taught me a lesson. It's easy to give something that we don't want any more，but harder to give what we cherish（珍爱），isn't?

B Choosing which university to go to is one of the biggest and most expensive decisions you’ll have to make. Here are some things to consider.Work out whether you want to study at home or abroad. If you’re going abroad, first you have to think of the cost of your study, living expenses and the flight tickets.Decide which courses interest you and find out more about who will teach the course. Try to collect information from past students.Check out the ability of the teachers. Study the key subjects in the course and compare them with the ones from other universities.Find out if the university offers work for practice or exchange programs for the course you’re interested in.Check what the university’s policy (政策) is for switching (转换) courses in the university or changing universities.Many universities now have websites. Use them as a chance to ask the universities all the questions you want.Visit education exhibitions(展览会). You’ll be able to find out more by talking to teachers from different universities, and they can be found easily at the same time.Go to see the university if y ou can. If this is not possible because of the cost, do some research and find out where the university is as well as the environment around it.

Go to see the universities.&C In March last year, the car I was driving was involved (卷入) in a serious accident with another car on a country road. I soon found myself at the center of a crazy activity, in the middle of doctors, policemen and passers-by. A large can opener was used to get me out of my broken car and into an ambulance(救护车).Over the next eight hours, I was taken to hospital, tested with X-ray and diagnosed (诊断) with a broken neck. Knowing that I’d been saved from death encouraged me throughout the long wait in the hospital and helped me deal with the countless visitors.Only after I was sure that the last friend had left, could I direct my energies inwards. Flying in and out of my line of vision during my hospital stay was the Red Cross lady, a gentle presence in white who, from time to time, came in to offer cups of tea. After the visitors had gone, she came up to me and checked if I was all right.I found myself telling her everything about the accident, my fears for my family as a result of my injuries (伤)—about my whole life. While I waited for an ambulance to take me to another hospital, she stood by my bed and held my hand as I off-loaded all the emotion I’d hidden from my family. She listened, quiet and patient.Even now, the knowledge that I have the ways to get in touch with her provides me with great comfort. I look forward to a day in the near future when my angel (天使) and I can meet again, in happier situation.In times of danger, faith (真诚) can encourage us. My faith in human nature called back by the kindness of a stranger has helped to ease my journey back to health.54. What happened to the writer in the accident?A. She was hit by a car.&&&&&B. She was held in her car.C. She was caught by the police.&&&D. She was thrown into a can.55. The underlined word “off-loaded” means____________in the passage.A. spoke out&&&B. put down&&C. sho wed off&&&D. turned over56. The most important result of the Red Cross lady’s faith was that ______.A. the writer got well more quickly&&&&B. the writer missed her very muchC. the writer became much happier&&&&D. the writer had her own faith back
DChristmas is a time for shopping. But I think those of us who live in large ci ties in Asia would be cheating ourselves if we said this is the only time we are busy shopping. No, from Bangkok to Singapore, from Shanghai to Manila, shopping—especially shopping in large centers—is a year-round activity.Shopping centers are good. They show Asia’s surprising economic (经济的) growth, and how far we have come in such a short time. For many of the older generation w ho can remember a time when everyone lived in villages and there was no running water, the air-conditioned centre means comfort, choice, luxury (豪华) and better times.Nowadays, it seems our usual activities happen in the centre—it’s where we shop, eat, watch movies, meet our friends or just generally walk around.Further more, we have come to regard shopping centers as important landmarks or tourist attractions(吸引). Whole generations of Asians are growing up to think that, besides home and school, the shopping center is the most natural place to be.My idea about shopping centers is not that they are often big buildings that look quite different from other parts in a city, or that they promote (促进) shopping at a time when our planet can hardly afford it. My main idea about centers is that they don’t really seem to make us happy. The large advertisements outside the stores could make us think that if we only had this pair of jeans, or if we hung out at this café drinking coffee, then we could feel more successful. But once we buy something, we only want to buy something more—as everyone already knows.Shopping centers, even though they try to look as welcoming as possibl e, can be unkind places. To make us buy, they must make us feel that we are short of something, or that everyone else has something we do not yet own. We must want to surpass others or at the very least to keep up. How can this thought always trying to be cool bring us true joy?The saddest thing is that the modern centre has stopped us from many beautiful, necessary and important activities. We have no one to blame (责怪) but ourselves. Instead of shopping, we could be cooking, visiting a nearby waterfall, going to the beach, reading a novel, taking a long walk, playing a sport, learning a dance or visiting each other’s homes.Every time we have a spare piece of land, all we can think of b uilding on it is yet another centre. Perhaps instead, we should be building libraries, theatres, museums, sports halls, public swimming pools, parks—the list is endless. We might even consider leaving t hat land alone. This is something that the centre may have caused us to forget—in order to be happy, we must create as well as consume (消费).57. What is the writer’s attitude towards shopping centers?A. He likes them very much.&&&&&B. He doesn’t like them at all.C. He likes them only a little.&&&&&D. He doesn’t like all of them.58. Why do more and more shopping centers appear in some Asian countries?A. Because economy in the world develops very fast.B. Because shopping centers have attracted tourists all over the world.C. Because people go shopping in large shopping centers all year round.D. Because shopping centers have become an important part in everyone’s life.59. What is the greatest disadvantage of shopping centers, according to the writer?A. They don’t seem to make us happy.B. They lead us to buy more and more things.C. They force us to give up many other activities.D. They have us fall into endless competition with others.60. Which of the following is not true?A. It is very easy for us to find a shopping centre in a big city.B. There are usually all kinds of services in a shopping center.C. The government must be responsible for the writer’s sadness.D. Besides shopping, there’re many other activities& we can enjoy.【答案】（A）48?A49?C50?D（B）51?C52?A53?B&& （C）54?B55?A56?D（D）57?B58?D59?C60.C【江苏省兴化市学年度初三网上阅卷适应性训练】AMy friend, Victor, is a zoo keeper in the National Zoo. His work is very interesting but it is hard. Sometimes it is dangerous, too. Every morning the zoo keepers have to get up at five to prepare the food for the animals. Each kind of animal is given special food. For example, the lion the deer must be gi and the parrots must be given fruit and nuts. Sometimes some animals won't let the others eat their food. If this happens,& each of them must be fed separately(分离地) . Every morning each cage must be washed by the zoo keepers. This can be dangerous, especially with lions and tigers. To make the work easier, the animals are locked in the sleeping compartments (隔间) while the cages are being washed. When the animals are sick, the zoo keepers must look after them. Each sick animal is kept in a separate cage and given medicine. S ometimes they must be given injections. It is not easy to inject（打针） a sick lion!All the keepers live near the zoo. Each of them has a small house. There he lives with his family. They do not have holidays on Sundays and public holidays. Instead, each of them has a day off during the week. Each keeper has a holiday on a different day from that of the other keepers. The most important job of the keepers is to look after the safety of the visitors. People must be prevented from doing dangerous things. Many people have been injured because they did careless things, like putting their hands into the lion's cage. 31.

It was started because there was a Mother’s Day. And just because some Americans thought that if we had a Mother’s Day, we should also have a Father’s Day. Father’s Day has become important in North America. And shopkeepers found it was a good way to get people to buy presents for their fathers, presents from their shops.By the way, very few countries have a Father’s Day, though some have Children’s Day, or a special day for boys and another for girls. More and more countries are having Mother’s Day, so maybe Father’s Day will also become popular before too long. Now, what do people in North America do on Father’s Day? The newspapers, radios, and TV tell children what they should do－buy a Father’s Day present for your father. They even tell a wife to buy a Father’s Day present－not for her father but for her husband, even if he is not yet a father. And they tell grandchildren to buy a Father’s Day present for their grandfathers.The important thing to remember about Father’s Day is that American children can show their love to their fathers in a more open way.36.

They decided that miscommunications（沟通误解） were always possible, even over something as simple as “yes”and “no”.On her first day in Micronesia, an island in the Pacific（太平洋）, Lisa thought people weren’t paying any attention to her. The day was hot. She went into a store and asked, “Do you have cold drinks?” The woman there didn’t say anything. Lisa repeated the question. Still the woman said nothing. She later learned that the woman had answered her: She had raised her eyebrows(眉毛)，which in Micronesia means “yes”.Jan remembered an experience she had in Bulgaria, a country in Europe. She went to a restaurant that was famous for its cabbage. She asked the waiter, “Do you have cabbage today?” He nodded his head. Jan waited, but the cabbage never came. In that country, a nod means “no”.Tom had a similar problem when arrived in India. After explaining something in class, he asked his students if they understood. They answered with many different nods and shakes of the head. He thought some people had not understood, so he explained again. When he asked again, they did the same thing. He soon found out that his students did understand. In India, people nod and shake their heads in different ways depending on（依据） where they come from. You have to know where a person is from to understand whether they mean “yes”or “no”.46.The Americans teaching English in other countries found that they&&&&&& .&&&&& A.should go abroad for vacations&& B.needed to learn foreign languages&&&&& C.should often discuss their experiences& D.had problems with communications47.People in Micronesia show “yes”by&&&&&&&&&& .&&&&& A.nodding heads&&&& B.raising eyebrows&& C.shaking heads&& D.saying “no”48.Tom misunderstood（误解） his class at first because&&&&&&&&&&& .&&&&&& A.he did not know much about Indian culture&&&&&& B.he didn’t explain everything clearly enough&&&&&& C.some students didn’t understand his questions&&&&&& D.he didn’t know where the students came from49.Which of the following is TRUE according to this passage?&&&&&& A.In Bulgaria,nodding heads means “no”.&&&&&& B.Jan taught English on a Pacific island.&&&&&& C.Lisa was trying to buy some cabbage.&&&&&& D.In India,only shaking heads means “yes”.50.The passage is mainly about&&&&&&&&&& .&&&&&& A.body language in foreign restaurants&&&& B.class discussion in India schools&&&&&& C.miscommunication in different cultures& D.English teaching in other countries【答案】题目&31&32&33&34&35&36&37&38&39&40答案&C&D&B&C&A&A&A&C&A&C题目&41&42&43&44&45&46&47&48&49&50答案&D&D&C&A&C&D&B&A&A&C【2011年山东省泰安市宁阳21中初中学业水平考试第三次模拟】阅读下列短文，从A、B、C、D四个选项中选出一个能回答所提问题或完成所给句子的最佳选项。AJess really felt very happy．When he arrived at his seat in the classroom that morning，he found an invitation on his desk．It was from several of his classmates asking him to join them on a camping trip．This was the first time he was asked to join in an out-of-school activity．Why were they asking him now?
