　　中考英语专题训练：阅读理解

　　Have you ever heard of e-books? E-books are electronic books. They are no larger than an ordinary book, with a screen on which you can read.

　　How does the e-book work?

　　First, you call up websites on your computer and select books that you want. There are thousands of books provided by different websites on the Internet. Then download the books you like on to your e-book. You can download about 10 books at a time. Now you can just sit back and enjoy yourself reading.

　　Compared with ordinary books, e-books have many advantages. First of all, e-books save space. You can put as many as 10 books into a thing no bigger than a pocket radio and then carry it everywhere. You can renew reading materials in your e-book as many times as you like. With the development of e-book technology, probably an e-library will appear. Then you just take your e-books there and download what you want to read. You no longer need to worry about whether your books are over-due or not.

中考英语专项训练—阅读理解
C

Linda and David have travelled by air from London to Sydney, Australia. Linda has promised her mother that she would ring her to let her know that they had arrived safely. This is something she had done ever since she was a child. David thinks it is not a good idea to ring so far, to spend too much, and to say so little. "If there were an accident. " He says, “they’d know soon enough. Bad news travels fast. "

But Linda has promised that she would ring. "However," she says, "it doesn’t cost much when you just think that it’s the other side of the world. It’s only six pence per second 。"

"If you’re on that telephone for less than one minute, I’ll eat my hat,” David says, "And one minute’s nearly four pounds. " "That’s no more than you’d pay for a new hat," Linda answers.

She has asked the man at the hotel desk to get her the number. The telephone rings. Linda picks it up.

"Hello, Mum. Is that you?" She says.

"Six pence per second," David reminds her.

“Hello, love. " It is Mrs Lee, Linda’s mother, speaking from London. "I can hear you very clearly just like you are in the next room. It’s a better line than when you called me from your office. Do you remember? I shouted at that time, and still you couldn’t hear me sometimes. "

　　Healthy Diet

　　In order to stay healthy it is important to have a balanced diet-in other words,food that contains something from each of the three main groups of food.These groups are protein,carbohydrate and fat.

　　Proteins are very important for building our bodies;they help us build new cells as old ones die.Meat and dairy products are major sources of protein,but not the only ones-we can also get protein from fish,eggs and beans.

　　Carbohydrate and fat are important to enable us to store energy-they provide fuel for the body.Carbohydrates are found in sugar and in cereals such as rice,maize and wheat.Fats are found in meats,vegetable oil,butter,and nuts.Our body also needs minerals such as iron,calcium,and vitamins.Fish,vegetables and milk contain most of the minerals we need.Vitamins are found in fresh vegetables and fruit.

　　protein 蛋白质

　　carbohydrate 碳水化合物

　　cell 细胞

　　maize 玉米

　　mineral 矿物质

　　calcium 钙

　　vitamin 维他命

　　健康饮食

　　为了保持健康，饮食平衡很重要，换句话说，就是食用包含以下三大类的食物。这三大类是蛋白质、碳水化合物和脂肪。

　　蛋白质对于构建我们的身体非常重要;当旧细胞死亡时，它帮助我们生成新的细胞。肉类和奶制品是蛋白质的主要但非唯一来源，我们还可以从鱼类、蛋类和豆类中获得蛋白质。

　　碳水化合物和脂肪也很重要，它们使我们能够存储能量，它们为身体加油。碳水化合物可以在糖及谷类诸如大米、玉米、小麦中找到。脂肪可以从肉类、植物油、黄油及坚果中获得。

　　我们的身体也需要诸如铁、钙、维他命等矿物质。鱼类、蔬菜和牛奶中包含我们所需的大部分矿物质。维他命可以在新鲜的蔬菜和水果中获得。

　　The Hat Maker and the Monkeys

　　Once upon a time there was a man who made hats. He was a hat maker. He had enough hats to sell. One day he put the hats into his barrow and went along the road to the market. It was a long way and the hat maker was tired and hot. He came to a tree and sat down. Soon he fell asleep. There were monkeys up in the tree. The hat maker did not know this. The monkeys looked down. They saw the hats. Then they came down and took them. Each monkey put a hat on and each monkey went up the tree again.

　　Then the man woke up. His barrow was empty. There were no hats in it. "Where are my hats?"he said. He looked left. He looked right. He looked round about. Then he looked up. He saw the monkeys with his hats on. "Oh dear!"he said. "Those naughty monkeys have stolen my hats."He shook his fist at them. The monkeys shook their fists too. The hat maker had an idea. He took off his hat and threw it on the ground. The monkeys took off their hats too and threw them on the ground. The hat maker put his hats back in his barrow and quickly left for the market.

　　过了一阵，帽匠醒了。他的手推车空空如也，里面没有一顶帽子。“我的帽子哪儿去了?”他说。他找找左边，看看右边，四下里寻找。后来他抬...

　　A School Outing

　　The date for school outing was set for June 20th. The principal told us it would cost six dollars each. "This year,"he said, "We will go by train. This is a change from last year.?

　　We assembled at the school at 9 o'lock, and by 9:30 we were aboard the train. It was a good arrangement. Each car held two classes. Three cars were added to the regular train so that there would be enough room for other passengers. As our classes were only about thirty each, there was plenty of room.

　　We arrived at our destination by twelve, and each class went with its teacher to lunch. Then the guides came and took us for a tour of West Point and finally we stopped at a small river where we had snacks.

　　We were on the train again by six o'lock. We never needed the raincoats everyone was carrying.

　　一次学校旅行

　　学校旅行的日子定在六月二十日。校长告诉我们，每个人要花六美元。“今年，”他

　　说，“我们将乘火车去。这与去年不同。” 我们九点在学校集合，九点半我们上了火车。这是个很好的安排。每个车厢可以容纳两个班。在常规列车上，加挂了三节车厢，这样其他的乘客也有足够的空间。因为我们每个班大约有三十人，所以有足够的地方。

　　我们十二点到达目的地，每个班和他们的老师一起去吃午饭。然后导游来带我们去游览西点军校，最后在小河边停下来，我们在那儿吃点心。

　　到六点钟，我们又登上了火车。我们根本没用上我们每个人都带的雨衣。
