They were there all the time: early morning, noon, and evening. There were little old ladies in gray sweats, young couples in Adidas shoes, middle-aged men with red faces. “ Come on! ” My friend Alex encouraged me to join him as he jogged by my house every evening. “ You ll feel great.”精选学习资料 - - - - - - - - - 名师归纳总结 - - - - - - -第 1 页，共 31 页优秀学习资料欢迎下载Well, I had nothing against feeling great and if Alex could jog every day, anyone could. So I took up jogging seriously and gave it a good two months of my life, and not a day more. Based on my experience, jogging is the most overvalued form of exercise around, and judging from the number of the people who left our neighborhood jogging army. I m not alone in my opinion.First of all, jogging is very hard on the body. Your legs and feet a real pounding（重击） running down a road for two or three miles. I developed foot, leg, and back problems. Then I read about a nationally famous jogger who died of a heart attack while jogging, and I had something else to worry about. Jog ging doesn t kill hundreds of people, but if you have any physical weaknesses, jogging will surely bring them out, as they did with me.Secondly, I got no enjoyment out of jogging. Putting one foot in front of the other for forty-five minutes isn t my idea of fun. Jogging is also a lonely pastime. Some joggers say, “ I love being out there with just my thoughts.” Well, my thoughts began to bore me, and most of them were on how much my legs hurt.And how could I enjoy something that brought me pain? And that wasn t just the first week; it was practically every day for two months. I never got past the pain level, and pain isn t fun. What a cruel way to do it! So many other exercises, including walking, lead to almost the same results painlessly, so why jog?I don t jog any more, and I don t think I ever will. I m walking two miles three times a week at a fast pace, and that feels good. I bicycle to work when the weather is good. I m getting exercise, and I m enjoying it at the same time. I could never say the same for jogging, and I ve found a lot of better ways to stay in shape.52. From the first paragraph, we learn that in the writer s neighborhood _.A. jogging became very popular B. people jogged only during the daytimeC. Alex organized an army of joggers D. jogging provided a chance to get together53. The underlined word “ them” (Paragraph 3) most probably refers to _.A. heart attacks B.

He was strongly against it. D. He thought it must be painful.55. Why did the writer give up jogging two months later?A. He disliked doing exercise outside. B. He found it neither healthy nor interesting.C. He was afraid of having a heart attack. D. He was worried about being left alone.56. From the writer s experience, we can conclude that_.A. not everyone enjoys joggingB. he is the only person who hates joggingC. nothing other than jogging can help people keep fitD. jogging makes people feel greater than any other sport.三、08 浙江高考 EA simple piece of clothesline hangs between some environmentally friendly Americans and their neighbors.On one side stand those who see clothes dryers(干衣机 ) as a waste of energy and a major polluter of the environment. As a result, they are turning to clotheslines as part of the “ what-I can do environmentalism( 环境保护主义). ”On the other side are people who are against drying clothes outside, arguing that clotheslines are unpleasant to look at. They have persuaded Homeowners Associations (HOAs) across the U.S. to ban outdoor clotheslines, because clothesline drying also tends to lower home value in the neighborhood. This had led to a Right-to-Dry Movement that is calling for laws to be passed to protect people s right to use clotheslines.So far, only three states have laws to protect clothesline. Right-to-Dry supporters argue that there should be move.Matt Reck, 37, is the kind of eco-conscious( 有生态意识的) person who feeds his trees with bathwater and reuses water drops from his air conditioners to water plants. His family also uses a clothesline. But on July 9, 2007, the HOA in Wake Forest, 精选学习资料 - - - - - - - - - 名师归纳总结 - - - - - - -第 2 页，共 31 页优秀学习资料欢迎下载North Carolina, told him that a dissatisfied neighbor had telephoned them about him clothesline. The Recks paid no attention to the warning and still dried their clothes on a line in the yard. “ Many people say they are environmentally friendly but they don t take matters in their own hands,” says Reck. The local HOA has decided not to take any action, unless more neighbors come to them.North Carolina lawmakers are saying that banning clotheslines is not the right thing to do. But HOAs and housing businesses believe that clothesline drying reminds people of poor neighborhoods. They worry that if buyers think their future neighbors can t even afford dryers, housing prices will fall.Environmentalists say such worries are not necessary, and in view of global warming, that idea needs to change. As they say, “ Theclothesline is beautiful” . Hanging clothes outside should be encouraged. We all have to do at least something to slow down the process of global warming.”57. One of the reasons why supporters of clothes dryers are trying to ban clothesline drying is that _.A. clothes dryers are more efficient B. clothesline drying reduces home valueC. clothes dryers are energy-saving D. clothesline drying is not allowed in most U.S. states58. Which of the following best describes Matt Reck?A. He is a kind-hearted man. B. He is an impolite man.C. He is and experienced gardener. D. He is a man of social responsibility.59. Who are in favor of clothesline drying?A. Housing businesses. B. Environmentalists.C. Homeowners Associations. D. Reck s dissatisfied neighbors.60. What is mainly discussed in the text?A. Clothesline drying: a way to save energy and money.B. Clothesline drying: a lost art rediscovered.C. Opposite opinions on clothesline drying.D. Different varieties of clotheslines.四、09 年房山二模Jenkins was a jeweler, who had made a large diamond ring worth 57,000 for the Silkstone Jewellery Shop.

Mason likes thinking about how machines can make our lives easier by doing the work we hate, such as cleaning. He shows a hard floor cleaning system （系统） that s built into the wall: it will blow dirt to a part of the room where it will be collected by a vacuum （吸尘器） . Then the system will drop some cleaner on the floor and an arm will mop （用拖把擦）it up. “ This may trouble you,” says Kara, an expert in Mason s company. “ But you can program it to come on at 3 a. m., and it will just wet-mop the floor for you.”When it comes to the kitchen, Bruce Beihoff, another expert at Whirlpool, is sure that in a few years, robots will be doing most of the boring work, freeing us to relax. “ More than just fun, future kitchens will be environmentally friendly,” he says. “ A new system will be built in the house which can recycle energy （能量） lost from your kitchen to make the whole home warm.”“ The fridge will be the center of the home,” says Daniel Lee, a market expert. The fridge will have a touch screen （触摸屏幕） where you can watch TV, surf the Internet, check your e-mail, keep a shopping list and order vegetables. “Your fridge is the first place you go in the morning and the last place at night,” says Lee.Ever wonder why a 1.9-meter man and a 1.6-meter woman have to cook meals on counters （工作台） of the same height. “ The height was decided over 50 years ago, according to the height of ordinary women,” says Jane Langmuir, an expert of 精选学习资料 - - - - - - - - - 名师归纳总结 - - - - - - -第 6 页，共 31 页优秀学习资料欢迎下载cooking machines. “ But times have changed.

But this hobby sometimes has serious resultsat least to the players. For example, when people play tennis, sometimes they hurt their elbow（肘部） and in this way they develop “tennis elbow”. Also it is easy to hurt a knee in a football game. These injuries（损伤）happen while the player is having fun, but they still hurt.A few months ago, Kathleen Simmons, who loves playing volleyball, hurt her knee in a volleyball game. Her doctor told her that she needed a very difficult operation （手术） or she might not be able to play again. She felt very sad and didn t know what to do.Then Simmons learned about “ video operation” . With the help of this new science in medicine, doctors can now repair many injuries and get people back on the playing field and back to their jobs much faster. Simmons found a hospital that was using this new science and went to see the doctor there. The doctors told her the operation could help.For this operation, her doctor didn t have to open her knee. Instead he put a very small camera lens（镜头）inside her knee. The lens sent back pictures, which appeared on a television screen. As he worked, he could see the inside of her knee on the TV. With the help of the large pictures on the screen, the doctor knew exactly what to do when he was making the repairs.Simmons started walking five days after her operation. “ My knee hurt a lot the first few days,” she said. “ But I felt better very quickly.” Now, six months after her operation, Simmons can do everything she did before her injury. “ It feels like a newknee, ” she said. “ I can even play volleyball again.”54.

Fear-producing TV and computer games are leading to a serious disconnect between kids and the great outdoors, which will changes the wild places of the world, its creatures and human health for the worse, unless adults get working on child s play. Each of us has a place in nature we go sometimes, even if it was torn down. We cannot be the last generation to have that place. At this rate, kids who miss the sense of wonder outdoors will not grow up to be protectors of natural landscapes. “ If the decline in parks use continues across North America, who will defend parks against encroachment (蚕食 )?” asks Richard Louv, author of Last Child in the Woods. Without having a nature experience, kids, can turn out just fine, but they are missing out a huge enrichment of their lives. That applies to everything from their physical health and mental health, to stress levels, creativity and cognitive (认知的 ) skills. Experts predict modern kids will have poorer health than their parentsand they say a lack of outside play is surely part of it; research suggests that kids do better academically in schools with a nature component and that play in nature fosters ( 培养 ) leadership by the smartest, not by the toughest. Even a tiny outdoor experience can create wonder in a child. The three-year-old turning over his first rock realizes he is not alone in the world. A clump of trees on the roadside can be the whole universe in his eyes. We really need to value that more. Kids are not to blame. They are over-protected and frightened. It is dangerous out there from time to time, but repetitive stress from computers is replacing breaking an arm as a childhood rite（仪式）of passage. Everyone, from developers, to schools and outdoorsy citizens, should help regain for our kids some of the freedom and joy of exploring, taking friendship in fields and woods that cement (增强 ) love, respect and need for landscape.

Blood is very important. People have always known that. At one time, some people even drank blood to make them strong!When doctors understand how blood goes around inside the body, they try ways of giving blood to people who need it. They take blood from the healthy people and give it to people who need it. This is called blood transfusion. The blood goes from the arm of the healthy person into the arm of the sick person.But there are two problems. First, it does not always work. Sometimes people die when they have blood transfusion. Later, doctors find that we do not all have the same kind of blood. There are four groupsO, A, B and AB. We all have blood of one of these groups. They also find that they can give any kind of blood to people of group AB. But they find that they must give A-group blood to A-group people and B-group blood to B-group people. I have O-group blood and the doctor told me that I could give blood to anyone else safely.There is another problem. To give blood of the right kind, doctors have to find a person of the right blood group. Often they can not find a person in time. If they have a way to keep the blood until someone needs it, they can always have the right 精选学习资料 - - - - - - - - - 名师归纳总结 - - - - - - -第 15 页，共 31 页优秀学习资料欢迎下载kind of blood.

They always tell me I should do this, and should not do that. It sometimes makes me angry, said Zhang Hua , a middle school student in Guangzhou. Do you have the same problem? Perhaps your parents had the same problem when they were your age long ago. Why does it seem that some parents are not so friendly in their childrens eyes?One of the biggest things is when someone becomes a parent, he/she likes worrying things. They worry about everything about you, from the time you were born. They do a lot for you, though something would make you angry, because they care about you and worry about you. They worry about your choice of friends, the food you eat, your work at school, how much sleep you get, etc. All these things are part of your life. They want you to grow up healthily and happily. So how can you make things easier on yourself? Its easier than you think. Just make sure your parents know what youre doing. Get them to know your friends. Phone if you stay somewhere else so that your parents dont call every hospital in the phone book looking for your body. Say sorry to them when you make mistakes. Take responsibility(责任 ) for what you have done. Talk about your ideas with them. They may talk about theirs with you. Most of all, try to think about why your parents do this or do that. They are still practising being parents and need help you can give them. Someday, when you become a parent, they may be able to help you how to get on with your children. 83.

We can only make a guess, of course, but we can be sure that he will be different from what he is today. For man is slowly changing all the time.Let us take an example. Man, even five hundred years ago, was shorter than he is today. Now, on the average, men are about three inches taller. Five hundred years is a relatively ( 相对地 ) short period of time, so we may suppose that man will continue to grow taller.Again, in the modern world we use our brains a great deal. Even so, we stillmake use of only about 20% of the brains capacity( 容量 .) As time goes on, however, weshall have to use our brains more and more and finally we shall need larger ones! This is likely to bring about a physical change too. The head, especially the forehead, will grow larger.Nowadays our eyes are being used too much. In fact, we use them so much that veryoften they become weaker and we have to wear glasses. But over a very long periodof time it is likely that mans eyes will grow stronger. On the other hand, we tend ( 有的趋势 ) to make less use of our arms and legs. These, as a result, are likely to grow weaker. At the same time, however, our fingers will grow more sensitive( 敏感的 ) because they are used a great deal in moder n life.But what about hair? This will probably disappear from the body altogether in course of time because it does not serve a useful purpose any longer. In the future,then, both men and women are probably to be hairless!Perhaps, all this gives the impression that future man will not be a very attractive ( 有吸引力的 ) person to look at! This may well be true. All the same, besides these changes, future man will still have a lot in common with us. He will still be a human being, with thoughts and feelings similar to our own.48. Future man is probably to be different from us in _ ways . A. two B. three C. four D. five 49. Future man s head will grow larger because _.A. he will use his brain more and more as time goes o nB. he makes use only 80% of the brains capacityC. the other 80% of his brain will grow faster D. his brain has grown larger over the past centuries50. What will be true about the man in the future? A. He will have smaller eyes and will wear better glasses. B. His fingers will grow weaker because he wont use them . C. He will be hairless because hair is no longer useful.D. He will think and feel in a different way.51. What does the writer write the article for? A. To give us some knowledge of future man. B.

To tell us future man is growing taller as time passes. 二十二、 08 中考延庆一模阅读理解C篇My most memorable and best experiences will stay in my mind for many years to come. For most people, horses are just animals that should only be used for racing, for money. Ever since I was only a few years old, horses have been my passion (酷爱之物 ). My dream was to ride a horse. When that time finally came near my anxious little life, my heart beat a thousand times a minute.It was a warm summer day in Odessa, Ukraine, and we were at a park. My mom was buying several things for home while I looked around to find something that made my eyes twinkle (shine). I saw a figure from heaven, a four-legged beautiful 精选学习资料 - - - - - - - - - 名师归纳总结 - - - - - - -第 20 页，共 31 页优秀学习资料欢迎下载animal was standing down the block, breathing heavily. I ran up to the horse, not even knowing how to pet it, just excited to see the most beautiful animal. He was shining white, with a well-brushed tail. Right away I thought that I could ride this horse. I turned the other way and went to search for my mom to get some money. I saw her buying groceries and led her to where the horse was. The owner was back and said that it was his horse and I couldn t ride it. A warm stream of tears (眼泪 ) flooded down my cheeks as my mom tried to ask the man to let me ride the horse. He finally agreed for a high price. He taught me how to get on the horse and explained to me that it was important to keep heels down and arms steady. The beat of the horse s trot (小跑 ) awakened all the senses in me and I knew I was the happiest little girl in Ukraine at that time. I began planning how I was going to buy a horse after I became a millionaire. Before I knew it, the ride was over. Surprisingly, I actually learned to control the horse.That day was probabl y the happiest time of my life. Most children wouldn t have as much fun as I did. Several years later, after coming to America, I began to take part in show jumping. If it weren t for that time in Ukraine, I wouldn t be able to enjoy the most amazing(令人惊叹的 ) sport, one where you and another animal truly have to bond. 52.

She checks your fever, looks at your throat, and asks what youve been thinking about lately. When you leave ，she gives you some medicine, but also a list of thinking skills that you are supposed to practice daily. She says that the way you think is causing some of your illness.Doctors and other scientists who study the human mind and try to explain why people behave in the way that they do, called psychologists , are starting to believe it. You know that your brain is connected to every part of your body through your nervous system(神经系统 ). Now scientists have proved that how you think and feel can have an influence on the health of your body.Stress (压力，紧张 ) is caused whenever there is a problem or a change in your life. Of course, everybody has stress more or less; nobodys life is perfect. In fact, stress is necessary. Without stress, we would never learn anything or grow or change. We would probably be bored to death. But too much stress can hurt you. It can weaken your body s protection so that you are more likely to catch diseases. It can even make you more likely to have an accident.When you feel stress, your brain sends a message to your body to produce a chemical called adrenaline( 肾上腺素 ). Adrenaline speeds up your breathing and your heartbeat. Today you have a different kind of stress. Problems like endless homework or troubles with your family are the kind of things you cant fight or run away from, so you dont use up all that adrenaline. It just stays bottled up inside you, and thats what can do something bad to you.What can you do about stress? First, you can try to find ways to change things so you arent under so much stress. You can set up a plan to finish homework or go to a doctor or a psychologist to try to work things out with your family or your friends. But sometimes you cant change a stressful situation. Sometimes you dont even want to. A big change might be a good change, but it will still be stressful.The link( 关联 ) between your body and brain works in two ways. Your body can help your mind deal with stress. If you are under stress, you need to take especially good care of your body. Its important to get enough sleep and eat nutritious meals. Some people take a vitamin-mineral pill every day. Another thing that you can do is daily exercise. If you go walking or do aerobic dancing or work out at the gym, you give your body a chance to burn up some of that adrenaline. Of course, a person who isn t used to much physical activity should start slowly. Anyone with a continuing physical problem should check with a doctor before starting any exercise programs. 1. A psychologist is a person who may help you with your _. （含义题）A. illness and abilities B. thoughts and behaviourC. mind and nervous system D. physical activity and daily exercise2. Which of the following is true according to the passage? （判断题）A. You shouldn t go to the gym if you are under stress.B. One can do his homework to burn up adrenaline.C.

What is probably the best title for this passage? （主旨题）A. The Body-Brain Link B. The Causes of StressC. The Advice on Health D.

In my three years at the school, I have played soccer, basketball, and baseball. I love sports and really enjoy being part of a team . Playing on our school sports teams has been the best part of middle school for me . I know I m lucky that I ve had this opportunity. Some kids have not been so lucky. In fact, many kids who love sports don t have the chance to play on a school team.That s because, to make a team, you have to try out. The idea is that kids who are good at sports will do well in tryouts and make the team. But what about the kids who don t do well during tryouts? Maybe they are ill that day, or nervous, or are just having a bad day, so they don t play their best. They don t make the team, and that is too bad. Also, there are kids who really don t have the skills to play well. They never make a team, and that isn t fair either. How will kids ever learn the skills if they don t have a chance to play? Remember, this is the school and students are here to learn.All kids should have the chance to learn sports skills and teamwork by playing on a school sports team. There are other reasons why every student should have the chance to play sports. Sports are important for good health and fitness. They help kids feel good about themselves and their school . They build friendships among teammates . Coaches are good role models, and students who play team sports learn good sportsmanship . And, most important, team sports are fun! Players have fun playing, and their parents have fun watching and cheering for the team . So, sports bring kids and parents together, too. By now you know how I feel . Every kid who wants to play on a school sports team should have the chance . These teams are for fun and fitness they re not professional teams! Let s change the rules for making a team. Let s get rid of tryouts.Let s give every student at Central Middle School the chance to wear a team uniform . 48How many kinds of sports has the writer played in the three years at school?ATwo.

If you re sad, it will arrange for some of your friends to come over to cheer you up. If you re happy, it might respond by playing your favorite game with you . Does it sound like something out of a science-fiction movie? Well, it s really something out of the Georgia Institute of Technology. Irfan Essa works at the computer lab there . He has developed a computer system that can look at you and recognize your mood. He calls it the “ Expression Recognition System”. Essa says, “ We are trying to get computers to act like a human brain. But the human brain is not like one computer, it is like many working together. ”In Essa s system, many computers work together. First, a camera in the bedroom takes a picture of your face . The camera feeds the image to a computer.In the computer s memory, there are pictures showing how the muscles of your face move when you are in different moods . For example, cheek muscles move in one way when you are happy and smiling and in another way when you are nervous and tense. The computer compares your picture to the face muscle images stored in its memory. It tries to find the best match . That s how it figures out your mood! Then the computer sends messages to other computers in the system. If you look happy, a computer may put on lively music. If you look tired and discouraged, a different computer may turn on the TV for you . How could the “ Expression Recognition System” help us in important ways？ Essa thinks that the system can help us create computers that are better teachers . Many people learn new skills through computer programs . “ When I teach, I look at people s faces,” Essa explains. “ If my students look confused, I know they didn t understand. With this technology, a computer can also know if a student is learning . ”Today, this new technology can be found only in labs, but Essa predicts we ll see it out of the lab in a few years. So get ready. One day, you might walk into a room that will soon become your best friend. 1Can the new computer system look at you and recognize your mood?_精选学习资料 - - - - - - - - - 名师归纳总结 - - - - - - -第 28 页，共 31 页优秀学习资料欢迎下载2What happens first in the bedroom in Essa s system?_3Will the computer put on lively music or turn on the TV if you look happy？_4How does the “ Expression Recognition System” make computers better teachers?_5What will future rooms be like?_四十二、 20XX 年西城一模Every Saturday night Mama would sit down by the table and count out the money Papa had brought home.
