【題目】I was very surprised to receive the phone call at 4 o'clock in the morning.It was from the hospital.Our son was terribly burnt on his face,neck and arms.They had called for an ambulance (救護(hù)車)and were going to take him to the burn unit in Beijing.Beijing is 350 miles from his university,so we realized immediately that was serious.

My son's roommate described the accident,which caused the burns.Our son and his friends decided to barbecue (燒烤)hamburgers in the yard of their apartment.When they hit the charcoal (木炭),it started a fire in a sudden.The fire caught my son's shirt tail and shot from his back to his head.He stayed in hospital for almost two months.After he got well,he had to return to college with scars caused by serious burning.

When I was a child,my mother told my sister,who had a long,very clear scar on her arm,“Xiaoling,if you don't care about the scar,other people will pay no attention to it.It does not mean they will not notice it,but it means it will not matter to them if it doesn't matter to you.”I passed this suggestion on to my son who took my advice to heart and returned to school with his head held high—glad he was alive.

We all have “scars”that cause people to keep away from us.And we spend a lot of time thinking that if only we look differently,or dress differently,people would like us better.But if you focus on them,other people will only judge you by your looks,or your clothes.Put the scars aside,after all,nobody is perfect,so try to be confident,and your beauty will shine through.

【1】Why did the hospital call “us”?

A. To tell us the bad news of our son.B. To ask us to call an ambulance.

C. To describe the accident of our son.D. To let us take our son back to college.

【2】The third paragraph wants to tell us .

A. to be careful in our daily lifeB. not to care about others

C. not to pay attention to the scarsD. to pass suggestions on to others

【3】The word “scars”in the last paragraph refers to(指的是) .

A. the serious accidents someone had beforeB. the feelings of sadness after leaving a hospital

C. unpleasant experiences that somebody hadD. something that makes somebody different

【4】What can we learn from the passage?

A. Don't barbecue,for it will cause fire.B. Listen to others’ suggestions and be happy.

C. Try to be perfect and people will like you.D. Be confident and face the disadvantages.

【題目】 It seems like technology is everywhere. Computers and smart phones are at the center of almost everything we do. They constantly (持續(xù)地) require our attention. We text our friends with them during the day, sleep with them by our beds and check our messages as soon as we wake up.

In the future, technology will no longer be interrupting us all the time. Instead, we will use calm technology which was first developed by scientist Mark Weiser in the 1970s. In his opinion, calm technology works quietly but constantly. We know it is there, but we don’t pay much attention to it. According to Mark, the best technology should be invisible (隱形的) and let you live your life.

We already use many different types of calm technology in our everyday lives. Do you have a smoke alarm (警報(bào)器) in your house? That smoke alarm is always there, checking the air for smoke and quietly keeping you safe. It only reminds you it’s there when you’ve burnt your bread! Or there may be lights in your home or school. When somebody passes in front of their sensors (傳感器), the lights turn on. You don’t think about this type of technology until you see the light go on.

In the future, we can use calm technology to open the curtains (窗簾) for us in the morning, to turn down the heat when we leave, or even to choose the best music for us. The minute we walk through the door, our house will turn on the lights and music, and perhaps even start to prepare our dinner!

【1】Which of the following is an example of calm technology?

A. A computer.B. A smart phone.C. A smoke alarm.D. A radio.

【2】What does the underlined word “interrupting” mean?

A. Hurting.B. Protecting.C. Helping.D. Troubling.

【3】What’s the main idea of the third paragraph?

A. Calm technology keeps us safe in many ways.

B. Calm technology can help you to do housework.

C. Calm technology has been used in our daily lives.

D. Calm technology plays an important part in schools.

【4】What can’t we learn from the last paragraph?

A. We can use it to open the curtains in the morning.

B. We can use it to turn down the heat when we leave.

C. We can use it to choose the best music.

D. We can use it to wash dishes.

【5】What can we infer from the passage?

A. The light won’t go on unless we touch the sensor.

B. Calm technology will make our life more convenient.

C. People will depend more on smart phones in the future.

D. People won’t have to work because of calm technology.

When you sleep somewhere else—like at a summer camp or a friend’s house you’re in for a fun time. It can be exciting to get away from the same old bed in the same old room in the same old house. 【1】 It’s called being homesick.

Homesick means you are upset, sad, and maybe scared. But don’t feel surprised. A lot of people get homesick, even grown-ups. When you’re used to having certain people around you, it can be scary when they are gone. 【2】 Some kids may feel more homesick than usual if their parents get divorced (離婚) or if someone they loved has recently did.

Here are some ideas to help you feel less homesick.

【3】 If you’re going away from home, bring your pillow or pictures of the people you will be apart from and look at them any time you want.

Talk to someone where you are. 【5】 He or she might have some ideas to help you feel better.

【題目】We are excited when we reach our goals, and at that moment we laugh, clap, even are over the moon. Without doubt, good results make us joyful. However, we can not always get what we want and be the winner all the time. Some people can’t help doubting, “ Are our efforts in vain?”

The answer is “No”. We should remember that we are not only measured by how many goals we’ve reached, but also by how we’ve acted, which means the process(過(guò)程)is also important.

Here is an example. Fruit is delicious. It takes trees a long time to bear it. In the process of growing, trees have to suffer from bad weather, insect bites and also intentional destruction(故意破壞) from human beings. So it is with us. Our life is like a journey. At the beginning, we set a destination（目標(biāo)）, dreaming of it every night, but we should never forget that we spend most of our time on the journey. Unfortunately, many people only complain about the failure and then give up hope. In fact, it is failure that teaches us to be brave and stand on our own feet.

I myself deeply believe that only those who have experienced a lot can own the highly-valued character; only those who have taken a lot of adventures can have the chance to succeed. As the saying goes, “No pains, no gains.” We are still young, still full of energy, so why are we afraid of failure and why do we hesitate(猶豫)to take an adventure?

Young men, let’s forget results, leave out pains, and just look forward and don’t miss any chance on the journey!

【1】Reaching our goals will make us ________.

A. laugh at othersB. be over the moonC. asset another goalD. forget our efforts

【2】What does the underlined phrase “in vain” mean in Chinese?

A. 值得B. 益處C. 高效D. 徒勞

【3】The writer gives an example of fruit in order to say _________.

A. fruit is deliciousB. people can also suffer a lot in life

C. it’s hard for a tree to bear fruitD. we should grow trees to get good fruit

【4】Only those who__________ will get the good character.

A. have gone through a lotB. work very hard

C. believe that things will be better and betterD. believe in themselves

【5】What’s the best title for this passage ?

A. Stand on Our Own FeetB. Process Is Also Important

C. Don’t Doubt YourselfD. Failure Is the Mother Of Success

科目：初中英語(yǔ) 來(lái)源： 題型：

【題目】（題文）Grown-ups are often surprised by how well they remember something they learned as children but have never practiced ever since. A man who has not had a chance to go swimming for years can still swim as well as ever when he gets back in the water. He can get on a bicycle after many years and still ride away. He can play catch and hit a ball as well as his son. A mother who has not thought about the words for years can teach her daughter the poem that begins "Twinkle, twinkle, little star" or remember the story of Cinderella or Goldilocks and the Three Bears.

One explanation is the law of overlearning, which can be stated as follows: Once we have learned something, additional learning trials(嘗試)increase the length of time we will remember it.

In childhood we usually continue to practice such skills as swimming, bicycle riding, and playing baseball long after we have learned them. We continue to listen to and remind ourselves of words such as "Twinkle, twinkle, little star" and childhood tales such as Cinderella and Goldilocks. We not only learn but overlearn.

The multiplication tables(乘法口訣表)are an exception to the general rule that we forget rather quickly the things that we learn in school, because they are another of the things we overlearn in childhood.

The law of overlearning explains why cramming(突擊學(xué)習(xí))for an examination, though it may result in a passing grade, is not a satisfactory way to learn a college course. By cramming, a student may learn the subject well enough to get by on the examination, but he is likely soon to forget almost everything he learned. A little overlearning, on the other hand, is really necessary for one's future development.

【1】（小題1）What is the main idea of paragraph 1?

A. People remember well what they learned in childhood.

B. Children have a better memory than grown-ups.

C. Poem reading is a good way to learn words.

D. Stories for children are easy to remember.

【2】（小題2）The author explains the law of overlearning by_________.

A. presenting research findings B. setting down general rules

C. making a comparison D. using examples

【3】（小題3）According to the author, being able to use multiplication tables is_______.

A. a result of overlearning B. a special case of cramming

C. a skill to deal with math problems D. a basic step towards advanced studies

【4】（小題4）What is the author's opinion on cramming?

A. It leads to failure in college exams. B. It's helpful only in a limited way.

C. It's possible to result in poor memory. D. It increases students' learning interest.
