1. A。上文講到電話購(gòu)物法在歐洲也開始起步,本句承接上文,對(duì)歐洲的情況作進(jìn)一步介紹,因此,應(yīng)選European。
2. D。電話購(gòu)物法,應(yīng)通過看電視選擇物品,然后電話訂購(gòu), 故應(yīng)選TVs。
3. D。else為副詞不用來(lái)修飾名詞作定語(yǔ)。the other things意為“別的所有商品”不合文意,選項(xiàng)many other things意為“別的許多商品”為正確選項(xiàng)。
4. B。such as中的as為介詞,因此該詞組用于列舉時(shí),后面常直接接名詞或名詞性短語(yǔ)。而for example用于列舉時(shí)與后面例子常用逗號(hào)隔開。因此B為正確選項(xiàng)。
5. D。分析句子,不難發(fā)現(xiàn)本句使用了“spend money in dong something”這一結(jié)構(gòu),且主語(yǔ)the French為第三人稱復(fù)數(shù),故應(yīng)用spend的原形。
6. B。該句子表示“在德國(guó),每天電話購(gòu)物法僅在一個(gè)頻道播放一個(gè)小時(shí),這種情況一直持續(xù)到去年”,表示某狀態(tài)一直持續(xù)到某個(gè)點(diǎn)時(shí)間,應(yīng)用“until + 點(diǎn)時(shí)間”。
7. C。這里open表示“開放,開張,營(yíng)業(yè)”,本句表示電影頻道對(duì)電話購(gòu)物實(shí)行了開放政策,可用來(lái)進(jìn)行電話購(gòu)物。
8. C。很明顯,電話購(gòu)物法為商人銷售產(chǎn)品提供了一個(gè)極佳的渠道。因此本句表達(dá)了商人的愿望。
9. B。without為介詞。后面應(yīng)跟動(dòng)詞的-ing形式。根據(jù)文意,going out應(yīng)為正確選項(xiàng)。
10. B。根據(jù)本句開頭的But以及下文內(nèi)容,這里提到的是對(duì)電話購(gòu)物持反對(duì)態(tài)度的人。故選don’t。
11. A。一些人不喜歡電話購(gòu)物法,稱其為“垃圾”。故應(yīng)選teleshopping。
12. C。人們擔(dān)心的是電視上正在銷售的產(chǎn)品的質(zhì)量。A,B意思不對(duì)。for sale表示“待售”,為正確選項(xiàng)。
13. B。電話購(gòu)物法令人們擔(dān)心的是電視上展銷的商品的質(zhì)量,而不是商店里的商品,也不是已經(jīng)買到手的商品。故選on TV。
14. B。根據(jù)上文,歐洲人的購(gòu)物觀念與美國(guó)人有所不同。因此電話購(gòu)物公司也得采取不同的措施。固定結(jié)構(gòu)be different form意為“不同于……”為正確答案。
15. B。根據(jù)上文,消費(fèi)者關(guān)心的是質(zhì)量。因此電話購(gòu)物公司必須對(duì)質(zhì)量倍加小心。故選擇quality。

As a music teacher for twenty-seven years I have always known that music touches the soul. It can break through all kinds of barriers to reach students in a very special way. It can be the means for each child to find their light.
A few years ago I was blessed with the opportunity to teach pre-school students one afternoon a week. One of my most memorable students was Vanessa. She was five years old, had difficulty walking and could not speak. We mostly sat on the floor for our music lessons and Vanessa liked to sit on my lap. One of her favorite songs was John the Rabbit. It was a call and response song where I sang the call and the students clapped two times while singing the repeating phrase “Oh yes!” Vanessa liked to put her hands together with mine and clap with me. We performed that song during every class Vanessa and I clapped together. She never said or sang a word.
One day late in the school year when the song was finished Vanessa turned around, looked at me in the eye, clapped her tiny hands two times and said the words “Oh yes!” I opened my mouth and could not speak. Through music we had made a connection.
Several years later I came across Vanessa on the street in town. I stopped my car and waved to say hello. She waved back with a big smile on her face and then clapped her hands two times mimicking the song we had performed in our music class. This precious little girl through her connection with music left an impression on me that will last forever.
Every child has the ability to learn and grow. It is up to us educators to discover the way to reach each and every one of our students. We all must find each child’s light.
【小題1】The author thinks music__________.
A.can make children calm down | B.can connect heart to heart |
C.is difficult for pre-school students | D.is a good means to find a job |
A.got used to singing songs | B.was too shy to speak |
C.was the youngest in the class | D.enjoyed the author’s class |
A.surprised | B.happy | C.frightened | D.satisfied |
A.The author has been in touch with Vanessa for several years. |
B.Vanessa became as healthy as other children. |
C.The song made a deep impression on Vanessa. |
D.Being a good educator became Vanessa’s dream. |

One day, a boy found the cocoon(繭) of a butterfly and brought it home. A few days later, the boy saw a small 36 in the cocoon. He sat and watched for several hours as a butterfly struggled to make 37 body through that little hole. Suddenly it stopped. So the boy 38 to help the butterfly, thinking the butterfly might be 39 .He took a pair of scissors and cut the hole 40 .The butterfly came out of the cocoon but it 41 a little different. It had a weak body and small, thin 42 .The butterfly didn’t start to fly. In fact, the butterfly spent the rest of its life crawling(爬行) around with a weak body and thin wings.

The boy acted with 43 but he didn’t understand why it could be like this. When a butterfly crawls out of the cocoon, it must struggle. The hard work of 44 out of the cocoon makes the fluid(液體) from the butterfly’s body into its wings. It helps the butterfly be 45 to fly. If the butterfly never has to squeeze(擠壓) itself out of the cocoon, its wings will never get the fluid and it can never fly.
46 struggles are what we need in our lives. If we lived our lives without any problems, we would never learn or grow. We would not be 47 we could have been and we would never fly.
In our lives, pain and suffering is the key to all windows, and sometimes even 48 growth, without it , there’s no way of life. We can’t avoid 49 or problems. So, next time you are 50 a problem or difficulty, remember the butterfly. Struggle a little—then fly!

科目:初中英語(yǔ) 來(lái)源:2011年江蘇省南京市玄武區(qū)中考模擬英語(yǔ)卷 題型:閱讀理解
One thing that British and Chinese cultures share is a love for fine tea. Today, when we think of Western tea culture, we often think of the English and beautiful china tea cups.
Afternoon tea
People believe that an English lady, Anna, first introduced the idea of afternoon tea. In the 18th and 19th centuries, the English ate only two main meals each day: breakfast and a heavy supper that would last for several hours in the evening. As a result, people often got very hungry during the long wait between these two meals. To solve this problem, Anna came up with the clever idea of inviting some friends to join her for an afternoon meal between four and five o’clock. This meal included cakes and sandwiches. And tea was served(供應(yīng)) to wash down the food. In order to make this afternoon meal important, fine china cups and plates and silver teapots, knives, forks and spoons were used. Soon, afternoon tea parties became popular social occasions. Today, afternoon tea parties continue to play an important part in the social life in modern Britain.
Will you come for coffee?
Coffee also has an important role in British culture. People often use the words “Will you come for coffee” to mean “Would you like to come to my home for a chat?” Normally, several different drinks such as tea, hot chocolate or a soft drink like orange juice will be served as well as coffee, and you will be asked what you would like. However, you will not normally be offered wine at a “coffee” party.
Coffeehouses and the London Stock Exchange
In the 17th century London, coffeehouses were busy and noisy places. Businessmen and bankers went to coffeehouses to do their business, as well as to drink coffee. In fact, the London Stock Exchange(倫敦股票交易所) is believed to have started from these coffeehouses.
