2019初中英语中考复习分块训练卷(六)

阅读下面的短文,在思维导图中填入恰当的内容完成阅读摘记。

    TapeMeasure Murder is a short story by Agatha Christie. In the story, Miss Politt, the dressmaker, finds that Mrs. Spenlow is dead in her house in a small village called St Mary Mead. Everybody, including the police, thinks that Mr. Spenlow is the murderer(凶手) because he is so calm and quiet after discovering his wife's death. But after the police talk to Miss Marple, she finds out the real murderer.

    The best part of the story is when Miss Marple explains how she solves the mystery(疑案) by noticing a tiny pin(别针) on a policeman's uniform. Her explanation is very clear and clever. Miss Marple is my favorite character in the story. I think she is very special because she is just an old lady but she is even smarter than the policemen. I never thought that an old lady could be the main character of a detective story!

    Can you guess who the murderer is? Read the book to find out! You will enjoy the story very much because the ending is so surprising.

阅读下面的短文, 并根据短文后的要求答题(请注意问题后的字数要求)
If you think English means endless new words, difficult grammar and sometimes strange pronunciation, you are wrong. Haven't you noticed that you have become smarter since you started to learn a language?
According to a new study by a British university, learning a second language can lead to an increase in your brain power. Researchers found that learning other languages changes grey matter. This is the area of the brain which processes information. It is similar to the way that exercise builds muscles.
The researchers also found the effect is greater on the younger people who learn a second language.
A team led by Dr. Andrea Mechelli, from University College London, took a group of Britons who only spoke English. They were compared with a group of “early bilinguals(通两种语言的人)”, who had learnt a second language before the age of five, as well as a number of later learners.
Scans showed that grey matter density(密度)in the brain was greater in bilinguals than in people without___________________. But the longer a person waited before mastering a new language, the smaller the difference was.
“Our findings suggest that the structure of the brain is changed by the experience of learning a second language,” said the scientists.
It means that the change itself increases the ability to learn.
Professor Dylan Vaughan Jones of the University of Wales, has researched the link between bilingualism and maths skills. Having two languages gives you two windows on the world and makes the brain more flexible,” he said, “You are actually going beyond language and have a better understanding of different ideas.”

阅读下面短文,从短文后的五个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。每个选项只能用一次。

Is there anything worse than that? You bravely raise your hand to answer a question, but your teacher just point out that you're wrong. What a shame! What could the teacher make you suffer (忍受) this?

    Relax. {#blank#}1{#/blank#}. Your teacher isn't calling you out to humiliate (使丢脸) you, but rather out of concern for you and your education.

    Having all your classmates come to know your weak points can be pretty hard, so how can you get past the shame and recognize class participation as a learning opportunity?

    Get out of your comfort zone. Terrill Schumaker, a teacher, explains that “the more you speak out, the more you learn how to grow and build confidence. {#blank#}2{#/blank#}”

Realize it's not a big deal. {#blank#}3{#/blank#}. People aren't going to care all that much. “If I'm wrong or make a stupid point, then people laugh at me, but life moves on” says Grade 12 Kristen Wesenberg. Besides, everybody makes mistakes, and you can't be perfect all the time.

    {#blank#}4{#/blank#}. Of course it takes courage (勇气), but as Wesenberg says, ―What's the point of living in fear?‖ You won't learn anything if you are not brave enough.

    Use the experience as a learning tool. Wesenberg advises asking teachers why you're wrong so they can explain and you can learn.{#blank#}5{#/blank#}. If you're wrong now, at least you won't be wrong in your next test!

A. Be brave in class

B. Trust your teacher instead

C. Use class time as a mini—test

D. And it's not the end of the world

E. Then you can live an exciting life

请阅读下面短文,在短文后表格中的空白处填上适当的单词(每空限填一词并将该单词的完整形式填写在横线上。)

    Do you often think of life in the future? Will we study at home? Will we fly to the moon easily? Everyone may have his or her views about that. Life in the future will be very different from life today. Between then and now many changes will take place but what wig the changes be?

    There will be changes in our food. Maybe no one will eat meat. Instead, people will eat more and more fruit and vegetables. People will stay away from junk food. People will be much healthier.

    Computers will be smaller and much more useful. Maybe we will even put the computer into our pockets. There will be at least two computers in every family. And computer studies will be one of the most important subjects at school.

    Work in the future will be different, too. Dangerous and hard work can be done by robots. People will work fewer hours that they do now. And they will have more free time for spots, watching TV and traveling.
