中考英语阅读提升训练 China is a nation of etiquette(礼仪). Chinese people are among the most hospitable people in the world. If foreigners visit a Chinese family, they would be surprised at the warmth that they would receive as guests.When you visit a Chinese family, the host usually makes tea for you. Then he will serve you snacks(小吃) like biscuits or candy. Someone in the family will also chat with you, never letting you feel lonely.At the same time, other family members will prepare a meal for you. Chinese people treat (款待) their guests with a big meal. They always present more food than the guest can eat. On the table, the guests must be the first to eat. Perhaps one of the things that surprises a western guest most is that the Chinese host likes to pick food for visitors, which wont happen at western tables. The Chinese family go out of their way to make you feel at home. As you are done eating, the host usually says, ”It seems that you didnt eat much. Please have more.” Although you tell them you are full, they still put more food in your bowl.Being warm and hospitable has long been an important part of Chinese culture and tradition.

It ran to warn everyone, “There is a mousetrap in the house!”A hen raised his head and said, “Mr. Mouse, this mousetrap is only for you. I wont be worried about it.” The mouse turned to a pig, “I am sorry, Mr. Mouse, but the mousetrap has nothing to do with me, either!” the pig said. Then the mouse turned to a cow, “It sounds like you have a problem, not me.” the cow said. The mouse returned to the house with head down and it was very sad because no one would help.That night the farmers wife heard a loud sound and she rushed to see what was caught. In the darkness she could not see that it was a snake. The snake bit(咬)the farmers wife. The wife caught a bad fever and the farmer the best way to treat a fever was chicken soup.

The company has already found “a close connection between color and satisfaction with a persons work area”. Thats according to its spokeswoman named Meghan Casserly.“Color is a silent salesperson,” said Elyria Kemp. She is an assistant professor of marketing at the University of New Orleans.Kemp is following color trends in business. She is studying the connection between feelings and color. According to Kemp, when people make an evaluation (评估) of a product, usually they do this within 90 seconds or less. Besides, more than half of their first evaluation is based on (以为根据) color alone.Thats why so many companies are researching their color choices. They are spending thousands of dollars on the research, too. Just think of UPSs Pullman brown, Home Depots orange and Tiffany & Co.s blue.Joclyn Benedetto is a spokeswoman for Tiffany & Co. She said the success of the companys jewelry (珠宝) was connected to its blue color. It is used to wrap (包装) every product. She said the color was chosen by the founder Charles Lewis Tiffany for the cover of Blue Book, Tiffanys annual collection of beautifully hand-made jewels, which first came out in 1845.Coca-Colas red color also dates back more than 100 years. The soft drink was shipped in barrels painted red.A spokesperson for Home Depot said research showed that the first thing people thought of was orange when they heard the name of the company.Smaller companies are also realizing the importance of color. But picking the right color is important.“You know when something is right because you get a feeling of safety, and its not something that you think about. It just will hit you,” said Emil Hagopian, a distributor for Mar Plast Color Building Accessories in Ann Arbor, Mich. “And sometimes, if its done wrong, that also hits you.”9What is Google trying to find out?A. How to create a better work area.B. How to become the biggest U.S. company.C. The connection between color and business.D.

Have you ever written to your headmaster to express your idea? Here are some letters written by students from different schools.Luke, 14, from JiangsuI will give some suggestions about our school uniform. In our school, we students have to wear uniform every day. But the yellow and green sports kit(服装)looks really dark and old. It cant stand for young and lively spirit. We can add some red or orange colors and make a new type of uniform. I hope our headmaster will think about it.Danny, 14, from ZhejiangI have two suggestions for my headmaster. First of all, I think we should have more hobby classes in science , such as plane model making class and computer programming class. It is really boring to study basic subjects all the time. And second, I hope we can have more PE lessons or more time for physical exercise. Lots of students now dont have a strong enough body.Sam, 15, from ShanxiId like to say thank you to my headmaster. About one week ago, I got a bad cold after playing basketball. Our headmaster came to me after he knew about it. He took care of me until my parents came. I really want to thank him for that.Helen, 14, from ShandongIn the letter I wrote, I want to talk about the possibility of personal(个性化的)classes. Now many middle schools are trying the “personal class” system. Students dont have regular classes. They can choose lessons they want to take. I think it is more effective. And it is also good for exercise. We dont have to stay in one classroom all the time.14Luke gives some suggestions about _ in his letter.A. hobby classes B. personal classesC. school uniform D. basketball playing15The reasons why Danny gives two suggestions are that _.A. students have too few classes every day and they love sportsB. studying basic subjects only is boring and students are too weakC. hobby classes are interesting and students have no PE lessons at allD. students want to cancel the basic subjects and they want to have more sports lessons16All the students except _ write to the headmaster to complain about something.A.

By sitting together it helped us break up a misunderstanding that had been between us for a long time. Do you know we are getting married next month?”“Good!

You wont hurt it, hit it or play with it.Professor Hiroshi Kobayashi of Tokyo University of Science, who built Saya, said she didnt mean to take the place of human teachers with Saya, but to show the joys of technology. “We didnt want to do all the work of a teacher, but to build this robot to teach children about technology. And Saya may be a help to the schools which have not enough teachers.”“In some villages and small schools, there are children who know little about new technology and also there are some teachers that cant teach these lessons,” Kobayashi said. “So we hope the robot can make the children become interested in new technology.”Many of the children were very interested in Saya, and did not take their eyes off her when they were listening to the report. When class was over, some students touched her face and felt her.Japan, home to almost 400,000 industrial robots of the world, hopes that they can make more and more robots in the future.

In todays fast-paced society, not many people take time to enjoy this midday meal. We just take a quick salad, or buy a sandwich and eat at our computers. Sometimes, if there is a deadline around the corner, we just give up lunch. The development of technology hasnt done our eating habits much good, either. We are constantly distracted(分神) by e-mails, social media, 24-hour news, and hand-held electronic devices.Long working hours can cause all kinds of health problems. Employers should encourage workers to take time off for lunch. This is because long lunch breaks can benefit both people and society. To take a lunch break is to slow down and gain some views. A break from work allows us to think cleverly and outside the box. It also puts our daily tasks into a wider context(环境).What we eat at lunch is also important. A fast-food lunch is more harmful than not having lunch at all. And its not just about calories and unhealthy food. Recent studies show that fast food also has negative effects on how we think. However, if we sit down at a proper restaurant and chat leisurely with colleagues, we are more likely to slow down and talk about something that hardly can be achieved in a noisy and crowded fast food chain.32Do many people take time to enjoy the midday meal?33What can cause all kinds of health problems?34Why should employers encourage workers to take time off for lunch?35Which is more harmful, having a fast-food lunch or not having lunch at all? You eat to stay fit and keep your body working, right? Then reading is food for your mind and soul. Reading informs you of whats happening around. Reading encourages you to think and imagine, think out of the box and imagine the impossible.In the past, people just read books, only books. Today, we have books online, which makes reading easy. The web, our new storehouse of information is just a click away.But this in no way has stolen the magic of reading books ,the sound of their pages flutter(翻页) and their smell .You can lie in bed with a book, but with a computer you possibly cant. No matter how you read, reading is important.Remember those bedtime stories? We read fun facts about animals, plants and the universe. We ask “whys” and “hows”. In books, we find their answers. Children who are introduced to reading at an early age are seen to have a better understanding of phonics (语音学). They master language skills easily, have a richer vocabulary and have greater reading abilities. Children, who grow up reading good books, mostly stand out. The way they think and act is very different from those who have never been introduced to reading. Reading not only adds to their knowledge but also shapes their personalities. Reading has a great influence on ones life. Teenagers are easily influenced by whatever they read. If inspirational stories and life experiences are read in ones teens, they can change a person for the better. They stay with him and keep encouraging him to achieve his goals and choose the right against the wrong.The more you read, the more creative and imaginative you will become. Reading develops vocabulary, improves language skills and sharpens your problem-solving abilities. It leads to a better understanding of self. Reading gives you knowledge, it makes you more confident. The more you read about others lives and experiences, a better decision-maker you will become.Reading about the importance of reading should lead you to read more, and more, and more. So choose a book you like and dont stop reading until you reach the end. And even after that read as much as you can.36Which of the following is true?A. Children should start reading at a young age.B. Parents should tell their children stories every day.C. Teenagers should think and act differently from others.D. Students should find answers to their questions in books.37The underlined sentence in Paragraph 2 means _.A. reading books is no longer a pleasure to peopleB. reading books is less interesting than reading onlineC. reading online cant take the place of reading booksD. reading online cant be difficult for people38What can we infer from the passa- 配套讲稿:
