2016年中考英语真题试卷(湖北襄阳卷)

阅读理解。

I was in a shopping mall, so I decided to go and get a cup of coffee. As I was making my way to the coffee shop, I noticed an old gentleman poorly dressed sitting near the shop. I knew from the first sight that he needed help. He had a little lunch in front of him and was enjoying it. It was clear that he had a problem with his right eye. I then joined the line and waited to be served.

    Then it happened. One of the most beautiful gestures(姿态) I had ever seen in my life. There was a young man in front of me in the line who was also waiting to be served. The next thing I knew was that the young man handed the waitress(女服务员) 20 dollars and requested a glass of juice as a favor(善行). The waitress looked at the young man a little perplexed, not fully understanding the request. That was when the young man asked her to give the juice to the old gentleman eating his lunch outside, as well as the change(零钱) from the 20 dollars. The young man also told her that he would be watching every second so that she would be completely safe. Then there was a wonderful exchange between the waitress and the old man. I only wished I could take a photo of the smiles on both of their faces.

As I was considering this event later, I wondered why the young man didn't perform this act of kindness himself. Maybe he was hoping that this act of kindness might inspire(激励) others to do something for this old man as well.

(1)、The old gentleman       outside the coffee shop.

A、was waiting in line B、was eating his lunch C、was asking for money D、was waiting for the waitress
(2)、The word “perplexed” in the second paragraph probably means      .

A、doubtful B、embarrassed C、worried D、angry
(3)、How did the young man help the old man?

A、He took him to have lunch and gave him some money. B、He bought him a glass of juice and gave him some change himself. C、He asked the waitress to give him a glass of juice and some change. D、He took a picture with the old man to remind others to help him.
(4)、From this passage we know      .

A、the young man had a problem with his right eye B、the waitress was too frightened to help the old man C、the young man disliked to be praised by others in public D、the writer supported the behavior (行为) of the young man
(5)、What's the main idea of the passage?

A、It is good manners to wait in line in public. B、Help people in need and inspire others to do so. C、Giving money to the disabled people is what we should do. D、Be ready to help others secretly.

    Jill Jones got a new job in a different part of the city. She had to go to work every day by train.

    There was only one other person on the train with her. He was a well-dressed man reading a newspaper. Suddenly, about halfway through the journey, the man began tearing(撕) his newspaper into hundreds of small pieces. Then he picked them up, opened the window and threw them all out. Then he sat down, closed his eyes, and slept for the rest of the journey again.

    The next day, Jill got on the same train. The same well-dressed man was there, reading a newspaper. As before, about halfway through the journey, the man began tearing his newspaper into hundreds of small pieces. Then he picked the pieces up, opened the window and threw them all out. This done, he sat down, closed his eyes, and slept for the rest of the journey. This happened every day for a week.

    At last, on Friday, Jill spoke to the man. "Excuse me, sir," she said, "I don't want to be rude, but I must ask you a question. When we are halfway through our journey, you tear your newspaper into hundreds of pieces and then throw them all out of the window. Please tell me, sir. Why do you do this?"

    The well-dressed man smiled. "There is a simple reason," he said. "I like to sleep for part of the journey, but I cannot sleep if the train is full of elephants. So I throw the pieces of paper out to the elephants. It stops them from coming into the train."

    "But there aren't any elephants on the train," Jill said. "I know," the man said. "It works well, doesn't it?

    I have tried to write a ghost(鬼魂) story that won't make you unhappy with yourselves,with each other,with the seasons,or with me.I hope it haunts(飘荡) your houses pleasantly.

    By Charles Dickens One Christmas Eve,old Scrooge and Bob were working busily in his office.It was a cold,foggy day.The fog was so thick that the houses opposite were like ghosts.It was only three o'clock in the afternoon,but it was already quite dark.

    "Merry Christmas,Uncle!"cried a happy voice.It was Scrooge's nephew(侄子).

    "Bah!"said Scrooge,"Humbug(骗人的话)!"

    "Christmas is a humbug?Surely you don't mean that,Uncle."said his nephew.

    "I do,"said Scrooge."Merry Christmas!What reason have you got to be merry?You're poor."

    "OK,then,"replied the nephew cheerfully."What reason have you got to be sad?You are rich.Don't be angry,Uncle!"said his nephew.

    "What else can I be?"answered the uncle,"I live in a world of fools!Merry Christmas!What's Christmas time to you?It's a time for paying bills without money?!It's a time for finding yourself a year older,but not richer.

    Everyone who goes around saying 'Merry Christmas' should have his tongue cut out.Yes,he should!"

    "Uncle!Please don't say that!"said the nephew."I've always thought of Christmas time as a good time,a kind,and a charitable(慈善的)and happy time.And so,Uncle,Christmas has never put any gold or silver in my pocket,but I think it has done me good.And it will do me good.I'm sure."

    Bob,standing in the corner of the room,applauded.He realized his mistake very soon,and went quickly back to his work,but Scrooge had heard him.

    "One more sound from you,Bob Cratchit,"said Scrooge,"and you'll celebrate Christmas by losing your job!"

    "Don't be angry with him,Uncle.Come and have dinner with us tomorrow."said Scrooge's newphew.

    "No."said Scrooge.

I'm sorry you don't want to celebrate Christmas.But I do.So a Merry Christmas,Uncle!"

    "Good afternoon!"said Scrooge.

    "And a Happy New Year!"said his nephew.

    "Good afternoon!"said Scrooge again.

    His nephew left the room.He stopped to wish Bob a Merry Christmas.And Bob replied,"A  Merry Christmas to you,too."
