中考英語語篇及作文專項(xiàng)訓(xùn)練（四）

一、完形填空

閱讀短文，掌握其大意，從每題所給的A、B、C三個(gè)選項(xiàng)中選擇最佳答案填空。

As the teacher called my name， I knew what lay ahead. She looked at me directly and made me to the whiteboard to perform a division （除法） problem. Division was my 1 subject. I repeatedly put the numbers in the 2 places， or forgot to add in the zeros.

I worriedly 3 myself out of my seat. With every slow step I took， I grew more nervous. My stomach ached， and my whole body shook with 4 .

The teacher read the problem aloud. Unsure of myself， I looked at the girl beside me， and tried to 5 what she was writing， but she went faster than I could understand， writing down what seemed to be foreign symbols.

Why me？ Why couldnt I work out the problem that seemed 6 to all other kids？ These questions filled my head.

As the other girl finished and danced back to her seat， I wrote some random （胡亂的） numbers on the board， and 7 back to mine. The teacher read over our work.

“Now， class， Susie did this problem absolutely correctly.”

“As for Tara，” the teacher said jokingly， “I dont even know what she did.”

The class burst into laughs， and I felt my face turn red as I tried to sink as low as possible into my seat， hoping to prevent them from 8 me at all.

But this memory is one I remember， surprisingly， in a positive way. It made me 9 ， and gave me persistence. When I get a poor grade in school， or am put down by somebody， I think of that moment and every single one of those 10 that I asked myself. The terrible ache in my stomach comes back and gives me the motivation to answer all of those whys and try hard until perfection， or as close as I can get.

三、閱讀短文，從每題所給的A、B、C三個(gè)選項(xiàng)中選出最佳答案回答問題或完成句子。

A new camera made by a company named Netatmo has facial recognition software （識(shí)別系統(tǒng)） that can tell parents at work that their children have returned from school， or that a package has been taken to their home. It can also tell them if a stranger has entered their home. Janina Mattausch is a product marketing manager for Netatmo.

“The common security （安全） cameras at present are not that smart. So， they can tell you if something is moving but they dont necessarily know if its a human being or， if its your kids —they dont know the difference， so they will warn you all the time.”

When family members enter a home， the new camera “recognizes” them and sends information to the owners smartphone. The owner can choose to see the video then or later. But if an unknown person enters a home， the camera will send the owner a warning that will cause an alarm to sound on the owners smartphone.

That is what happened recently to a smart home camera owner named Damien. He lives in Paris.

“On a Friday I was at work， attending a big monthly meeting when my phone warned. At first I told myself ‘Oh， it must be a mistake， maybe I have to set the system again， but the notice on my phone was telling me that there was a movement in my flat and also a face that the software did not recognize.”

He watched the video and was very surprised by what he saw.

“I saw a person I did not know with his shoes on. I was watching it live on video. So I felt totally unbelievable， frozen. I asked a workmate to take me back home as fast as possible and I called the police on the way.”

With the help of the video， the police found the intruder （闖入者） later that day.

（ ）16. The new camera made by Netatmo can _______.

A. warn the strangers

B. recognize the comers

C. stop the visitors

（ ）17. The third paragraph mainly tells us _______.

A. where the new camera is placed

C. how the new camera works

（ ）18. We can learn from the passage that Damien _______.

五、閱讀短文，根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容回答問題。

Being an astronaut sounds cool， doesnt it？ In space， they can do some pretty amazing things， like floating in zero gravity （重力）.

However， there are also plenty of things that astronauts cant do because of their weightless environment， and thats very sad. Whats worse， they cant even let their sadness show—because its impossible to cry in zero gravity.

Of course， astronauts can still have tears. But crying is much more difficult in space. Without gravity， tears dont flow downward out of the eyes like they do on the earth. This means that when you cry in space， your tears have nowhere to go—they just stick to your eyes.

In May 2011， astronaut Andrew Feustel experienced this during one of his spacewalks. “Tears，” he said， “dont fall off your eyes. They just stay there.” Besides making your vision （視力） unclear， this can also cause physical pain. Back on the earth， tears are supposed to bring comfort to the eyes. But thats not the same in space. The space environment dries out astronauts eyes， and when tears suddenly wet the eyes， it can cause pain rather than comfort. “My right eye is painful like crazy.” Feustel told his teammate during the walk.

Since gravity doesnt work in space， astronauts need some extra help to get rid of the tears.

Feustel chose to rub his eyes against his helmet （頭盔） to wipe the tears away. Another choice is to just wait—“When the tears get big enough， they simply break free of the eye and float around，” astronaut Ron Parise said.

There are lots of small things—things like crying that we are so used to on the earth. We usually take them for granted （認(rèn)為理所當(dāng)然）， until they become a problem in a completely different environment， like space. There， astronauts cant talk to each other directly. They cant eat or drink in normal ways； They cant even burp （打嗝） because there is no gravity to hold the food down in their stomachs. If they do burp， they just end up throwing up （嘔吐） everything in their stomachs， according to the UK National Space Center.

Thus perhaps its only space explorers who can honestly say “Gravity， youre the best.”

26. Is crying more difficult in space than on the earth？

27. What happens to tears when astronauts cry in space？

28. Who experienced that the tears in space caused pain rather than comfort？

29. How do astronauts get rid of the tears in space？

30. Why cant astronauts burp in space？

六、閱讀短文，根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容，在表格中填入相應(yīng)信息。（每空不超過三個(gè)單詞）

How do you feel when you have to make a speech in front of the class or when you go to a birthday party？ Do you get really shy？

Shyness means feeling nervous or frightened when youre around other people. Experts have found that more than 80 percent middle school students feel afraid to be the center of attention. Some kids are born shy. Some become shy later because of their life experiences.

Its OK if it takes you a while to feel yourself again when you go to a new place or meet new people. In fact， everybody gets a little shy sometimes. Its just a cause of how much.

Most people have red faces and talk in broken sentences when they get shy. But some become so shy that they wont go to a restaurant because they are too nervous to order and pay for the food. Some are afraid of meeting new people， so they seldom go outside. This kind of shyness can be bad for a person.

If being shy doesnt stop you from doing something you want to do， it isnt a very big problem. Some experts say shy people are cleverer because they think more and talk less. Shy people are also good at working with others because they think more for other people. Some great people in history were shy， too.

You see， being shy isnt all bad.

But remember not to let good opportunities pass by just because of it！ If you have to sing a song at a birthday party or practice your spoken English in front of others， just do it！ Theres nothing to be afraid of.

七、完成對(duì)話
