I’m in trouble. Last week, we had a football match, and we lost. We played well, but one teammate didn’t do his best, I think. It was like he wasn’t even on the court! Disappointed by his behaviour, I said all this to my best friend. But he told everyone else what I’d said. I’m really angry with my friend-what should I say to him? And should I say anything at all to my teammate?

ReplyThere is an old American saying, “Loose lips sink ships.” This means that if you speak too much about something, especially to people who you don’t know so well, it’ll cause all kinds of trouble. Maybe now you’re in this situation. Forget all these unhappy things.

ReplyPerhaps most importantly, think about your own behaviour. When filled with anger, you would say whatever comes to your mind. You might hurt others. Take a deep breath, calm down, and always remember: think first, speak later.

ReplyIn my view（观点）, you should do what your parents ask. They’re much older than you and you should respect them. It’s their house you live in and their money you spend!

ReplyHere’s what you need to do. First, apologise to your teammate. Have a chat with him, and tell him directly and honestly that you were talking without thinking. Then tell your friend you’re angry with him for repeating what you said and making the situation worse, but you hope your friendship will move on.

（2021·浙江绍兴·中考真题）
It’s been 100 years since the actor and filmmaker Charlie Chaplin produced the film The Kid, which many consider to be his greatest one.
Like all films at the time, The Kid was made in black and white and was silent (made without any sound, not even the characters talking). The story is about the relationship between “the Tramp”, played by Chaplin, and his adopted (领养的) child, played by Jackie Coogan. The pair develop a partnership where the six-year-old boy breaks windows and runs away, so that Chaplin’s character can offer his services as a window fixer.
Although the film is a comedy, it also has some tragedy, reflecting Chaplin’s own life. He started testing actors for the role of the Kid just a few days after his baby son had died. Chaplin was known for being hard to please, and it is said that if he could, he would have played every role in every one of his films. When Chaplin visited a theatre, a dancer brought his son, Jackie Coogan, on stage, and Chaplin knew he had his co-star (联袂主演者). Chaplin later wrote, “All children in some form have talents; the trick is to bring it out in them. With Jackie it was easy.”
Like the Kid in the film, Chaplin and his brother Sydney grew up very poor. They lived in London and were raised by their mother. When Chaplin was 10 years old, his mum became too ill to look after her sons, so they had to take care of themselves. He later wrote that the film sets in The Kid were based (基于) on the places where he and Sydney had lived with their mother as children. “Perhaps that’s why the film had some truth,” he said.
28．The second paragraph mainly talks about ________.
A．why The Kid was made B．when The Kid was on
C．how The Kid got successful D．what The Kid is about
29．We can infer from Paragraph 3 that Jackie Coogan ________.
A．always visited the theatre alone B．was possibly talented in acting
C．knew much about Chaplin before D．played every role in Chaplin’s films
30．Which of the following is TRUE about Chaplin?
A．He had a poor childhood experience. B．He was brought up by his father.
C．He looked after his mother very well. D．He produced films with his brother.
31．What’s the best title for the passage?
A．A film about a dancer B．A family in London
C．A place for film-making D．A life on film
【答案】28．D 29．B 30．A 31．D
【解析】
28．段落大意题。根据“The story is about the relationship between ...”可知第二段主要讲电影《孩子》主要是关于什么的。故选D。
29．推理判断题。根据“When Chaplin visited a theatre, a dancer brought his son, Jackie Coogan, on stage, and Chaplin knew he had his co-star. Chaplin later wrote, ‘All children in some form have talents; the trick is to bring it out in them. With Jackie it was easy.’ ”可知卓别林一看到Jackie Coogan就知道自己有了联袂主演者，且他认为使Jackie Coogan的天赋显现出来很容易，由此推出Jackie Coogan可能在表演方面有天赋。故选B。
30．细节理解题。根据“Like the Kid in the film, Chaplin and his brother Sydney grew up very poor. They lived in London and were raised by their mother. When Chaplin was 10 years old, his mum became too ill to look after her sons, so they had to take care of themselves.”可知卓别林的童年很贫苦，A项正确。故选A。
31．标题归纳题。通读全文可知文章讲了卓别林的电影《孩子》寻找角色的过程，并提到他在电影中融入了自己的生活经历。用“A life on film”做标题最合适。故选D。

In it he wrote∶“There was a stove in Shosha’s apartment behind which there lived a cricket. It chirped the nights through all winter long I imagined the cricket was telling a story that would never end. ” That’s exactly what Marianne wanted her children’s magazine to do—to tell stories that would never end!

（2021·浙江温州·中考真题）
Most viruses can be found and killed by our immune system as soon as they enter our bodies. However, some viruses, for example, the coronavirus, are sneaky. They are difficult to recognize and find. These viruses can cause deadly diseases, like COVID-19. Human-to-human transmission can easily occur, and pandemic will therefore break out. Vaccination is by now a simple, safe and effective way to protect us from the diseases.
▲ Vaccines are something that “looks” exactly the same as the viruses, mainly made from the viruses that are weakened or killed. They will not make us really ill. They only stimulate and activate our immune system to work, telling it something harmful is coming in. The immune system will know what the “viruses” look like, and send B cells (lymphocytes) or antibodies to find and kill them. Meanwhile B cells will remember them for the next kill. A vaccine may also give us passive immunity by providing B cells taken from an animal or a human to play the same role.
Scientists have developed more than 180 vaccines to fight against COVID-19. The technical approaches of these vaccines can be a little different, but their aims are the same.
Take the inactivated vaccine as an example. In an inactivated vaccine, the coronaviruses are already killed or made into the ones unable to produce more new viruses. When the immune system “sees” them, it will try to kill them. The question is: without enough these viruses how can B cells remember them? That’s why we need to take the vaccine more than one time. Though this vaccine is safe, it might not be as effective as it is expected to be.
The live-attenuated vaccine is different. In this vaccine, the viruses are weakened, but they are alive. They can produce enough new viruses to train the immune system to kill and remember them, so people only need to take the vaccine once. The live-attenuated vaccine is considered the most effective, but there is a worry: what might happen once these viruses wake up?
Therefore, although vaccination is by now one of the best ways to protect us from COVID-19, it can be better.
36．The coronavirus can ________.
A．not be killed B．not be found C．cause deaths D．stop pandemic
37．Which of the following can be the best topic sentence of Paragraph 2?
A．Vaccination can provide us with B cells. B．Vaccines are made from different viruses.
C．Vaccination can prepare us against viruses. D．Vaccines won’t make us ill as the viruses do.
38．Compared to the inactivated vaccine the live-attenuated vaccine ________.
A．needs taking more than once B．is equally safe
C．contains viruses that are killed D．is more effective
39．What can we learn from the passage?
A．Vaccination is good enough to treat COVID-19.
B．The immune system can be more effective with vaccines.
C．The viruses in inactivated vaccines can make new viruses.
D．180 vaccines have been developed to fight against diseases.
【答案】36．C 37．C 38．D 39．B
【解析】
36．细节理解题。根据“However, some viruses, for example, the coronavirus, are sneaky. They are difficult to recognize and find. These viruses can cause deadly diseases, like COVID-19.”可知，COVID-19可以导致致命的疾病，故选C。
37．段落大意题。分析第二段内容可知，本段主要告诉我们疫苗可以使我们预防病毒，故选C。
38．细节理解题。根据“The live-attenuated vaccine is considered the most effective”可知，减毒活疫苗被认为是最有效的，故选D。
39．推理判断题。根据“They only stimulate and activate our immune system to work, telling it something harmful is coming in.”可知，疫苗只是刺激和激活我们的免疫系统，告诉它有害的东西来了。所以二者是促进关系，选项B“免疫系统使用疫苗会更有效”与之相符，故选B。
（2021·浙江金华·中考真题）
For as long as we can remember, one of the most popular ways parents use to punish their children has been the “time out”.
It seems that it is a good idea: the child sits on his own to reflect（反思）on what he has done. Then, when the time is up, he will apologize and learn from the mistake.
However, just because it’s something that’s been done for years, that doesn’t mean it is the right thing to do. In fact, very often, children don’t sit nicely and think about what they’ve done. Instead, they need to be told a few (or many) times to go back to their places and stay quiet. They’re not reflecting on why they are in the “time out” at all. More likely than not, they’re probably just really angry, and ‘so’ are the parents. In the end, both the parents and the children make each other unhappy, or even angry.
What can parents do to change this situation? You may have already heard of things like peaceful parenting（育儿）and gentle parenting. These focus on the relationship between parent and child through building trust and love. So, instead of starting a “time out”, try something called “time in”. A “time in” needs both parent and child to stay close until both get calm. After that, the parent, and child can discuss what happened and solve the problem together. If the child can make changes, everyone can then move on.
As we all know, punishment and violence（暴力）seldom work and will never teach the children what the right way to act is. A “time in” can be the great time for the children to learn through mistakes, Kids learn how to build their emotional and social skills through difficult situations. So, instead of punishing them for acting their age, we can use chances to teach and guide them to a place of learning.
A “time in” may take more time, but it does work.
40．During a “time out”, a child is told to ________.
A．stay outside B．make a promise C．sit alone and reflect D．return to school
41．In the writer’s opinion, a “time out” ________.
A．is becoming more popular B．doesn’t always work
C．should be parents’ first choice D．takes too much time
42．When a child has done something wrong, the writer suggests that ________.
A．both teachers and parents discuss how to solve the problem
B．parents try something called “time in” instead of “time out”
C．the child say sorry to his or her parents and learn from mistakes
D．the child stay at home and reflect until he never makes mistakes
43．Which of the following can be the best title for the passage?
A．Why not “time in”? B．Learn from mistakes
C．“Time out” or “time in”? D．No violence at home!
【答案】40．C 41．B 42．B 43．A
【解析】
40．细节理解题。根据第二段“the child sits on his own to reflect（反思）on what he has done.”可知，在“计时隔离”期间，孩子自己坐下来反思他所做的事情。故选C。
41．细节理解题。根据第三段“However, just because it’s something that’s been done for years, that doesn’t mean it is the right thing to do. In fact…both the parents and the children make each other unhappy, or even angry.”可知，事实上，在“计时隔离”期间，孩子们不会好好地坐着，不会思考他们所做的事情。相反，他们需要被告知几次(或多次)来保持安静。他们根本没有反思为什么他们被“计时隔离”了。所以作者认为，这种处罚不起作用。故选B。
42．细节理解题。根据第四段“So, instead of starting a ‘time out’, try something called ‘time in’.”可知，作者建议，与其“计时隔离”，不如尝试“家长陪伴”。故选B。

（2017·浙江湖州·中考真题）To the Editor(编辑)
The Smaller, the Better!After reading the article” The Benefits(益处) of Living Small”, I decided that my husband and I should sell our 2500 square-foot home to move into a 300 square-foot home.
We have no children, yet we have five bedrooms, three bathrooms, two kitchens, and a huge living room. We can never afford to take time off from work to enjoy the things in life that we really want to, because our bills are so high. But when we downsize, I will be able to leave my job, and won’t have to spend hours each week cleaning!
I’m sure our new little home will encourage us to get outside more often, spend more time with friends and family, and make our world more beautiful by using less energy and preventing further urban sprawl(城市扩张). I think all owners of large homes should consider going smaller!
From Jane Adams
             ________
I disagree entirely with the one-sided article you published last month, “The Benefits of Living Small”.
Little homes such as the ones the writer wrote about in the article cost a small part of what normal family homes cost, and our economy(经济)is sure to feel the influence of this. Many educated people will experience brain drain(人才外流)，not to mention all the construction workers who will be left jobless.
The “simple way of life” the writer speaks of in his article is nothing but simple. However, working hard and living in large, comfortable homes is something people all around the world try their best for. Before we give up the American dream, I suggest all readers reconsider selling off their biggest possession!

（2021·浙江杭州·中考真题）When do children start to talk? If you ask a group of parents when this happened, most will say “around twelve months of age”. They will probably even remember what the children said. Many parents keep a diary of their child’s “first words”
We can never predict what a first word is going to be. Often it’s the name for “mummy” or “daddy”, but it could just as easily be the word for an animal or a favorite toy. Everything depends on what has most caught the child’s attention. But one thing is certain: after the first word, others come quickly. By 18 months, most children have learned about 50 words. By two, the total has risen to around 200.
Early words are actually one-word sentences. One of the first features（特征）of language a child learns well is to control the rise and fall of the voice to make the difference between stating and questioning. In English, daddy with a high rising tone（声调）means “is that daddy?” Daddy with a high falling tone means “There’s daddy”. Of course, only very basic meanings can be communicated using tones alone. So it soon becomes necessary to learn some grammar.
In English, grammar means learning to put words in different orders. Children have to see that mummy push is different from push mummy. They start practising such changes at around 18 months. By two, they have learned the basic patterns of word order, and we hear them saying such things as man kick ball and where daddy go.
What are the parents doing all his time? They’re acting as teachers and they always have an active role to play in their child’s language learning.
52．How old are most children when they have learned about 50 words?
A．About 6 months old. B．About one year old.
C．About 18 months old. D．About two years]old.
53．Which might an English child say first when learning to talk?
A．Mummy. B．Push mummy. C．Man kick ball. D．Where daddy go.
54．What’s Paragraph 4 mainly about?
A．Word order. B．Word tones. C．The first words. D．Correcting words.
55．Who is most responsible for a child’s early language learning?
A．Teachers. B．Parents. C．Friends. D．Grandparents.
【答案】52．C 53．A 54．A 55．B
【解析】
52．细节理解题。根据“By 18 months, most children have learned about 50 words.”可知，到18个月时，大多数孩子已经学会了50个单词。故选C。
53．细节理解题。根据“Often it’s the name for “mummy” or “daddy”, ….”可知，“妈妈”可能是一个孩子在学习说话时首先要说的。故选A。
54．主旨大意题。根据“In English, grammar means learning to put words in different orders.”及本段的介绍可知，本段介绍了语法规则也就是语序的问题。故选A。
55．细节理解题。根据“What are the parents doing all his time? They’re acting as teachers and they always have an active role to play in their child’s language learning.”可知，父母是孩子的第一任老师，并且在孩子学习语言方面充当一个积极的角色，所以父母对孩子的早期语言学习负责。故选B。

（2021·浙江丽水·中考真题）I came to the United States from Africa to live with my uncle Jim in Maryland. One year later, I lost my sight because of a serious illness.
Jim told me not to go out. He worried I would get lost or hit by a car. But I was dogged. I told him I’d pay attention. I believed I’d succeed. I must succeed. I must put my will into action. I dreamed of being a broadcaster.
Then a neighbor told me that a public library in Washington D．C．was offering a free course, specially designed for blind people. This was an important chance for me.
But how would I map my way? I knew that the American singer Ray Charles, also blind, got around on his own without a cane（手杖）. His secret was to count steps. But I couldn’t see what to do that way. Instead, I developed my imagination, sensing the layout （布局）of places I visited and taking notes of landmarks in my mind.
At first, I would have to stop to imagine and map a new space in my mind. The next time I visited that place, I used that to find the way. Today, I am used to doing it. But I’ve still lost my way many times. I have to swallow my pride to ask for help, not thinking about what others think or say about me.
Sometimes I’d be down and I’d consider giving up. Perhaps my uncle was right. Maybe I’d stay home and wait until someone came to help. On those days, when I lost my way, I’d go to bed with a bad feeling. ▲ . I had a strong wish to beat blindness and be successful, and that was usually enough to get me out of bed. The next day and try again.
Along the way, I learned to be patient with myself and realized that asking for help didn’t diminish（贬低） me in any way. I’ve got three academic degrees so far.
Today, I’m a reporter and broadcaster. I’ve achieved my dream.
Yes, I’ve lost my way many times-and found it again. Yes, I’ve come close to being hit by a car but never been hit by one. When people ask, “Aren’t you afraid to be out alone?” The answer to me is clear: I would face danger and find happiness instead of staying home and being unhappy.
60．The writer ________ one year after he moved to the US.
A．got lost B．became blind C．lost his parents D．was hit by a car
61．Which of the following can be put in “ ▲ ” in Paragraph 6?

（2021·浙江湖州·中考真题）
Masa walked slowly towards the house, stopping now and then to cut off dead leaves or fading flowers. There were few weeds (杂草). Yuki had spent many hours of her two-week visit weeding in the garden. Masa wondered if Yuki had spent so much of her time outside because she wanted to avoid talking to her.
But Yuki must have wanted very much to see us, Masa told herself. She had visited in the last weeks of June, as soon as her college was out for the summer.
She said she wanted to stay longer but couldn’t because she had to work. Besides, she needed to use the studio at her college for photography and she had to go to the library to read.
“Why do you have to go to college to study art?” Masa asked her. “All the great artists didn’t go to college.”
Yuki shook her head. “That was a different time. It’s hard to explain.”
“I was thinking you could live with us all year round and still be an artist. This is a nice quiet place to live.”
“I don’t know. How would I support myself here?” “You can always give lessons.” Masa said.
“But I don’t want to spend a long time looking at kids’ drawings.”
“What will you do after you graduate, anyway? Will you become a teacher somewhere else then?”
“Grandma, I don’t know.” Yuki sighed.
“What is the use of going to college if you don’t know what you’re going there for?” “Maybe I’m going because I don’t know. I just want to study art now. I don’t want to think that far ahead.”
The minute Masa was going to point out that this was too careless a way to live, Yuki suddenly stood up and put on her straw hat.
“I’m going to the garden to weed your flowerbed,” she said, “Let me know if there’s something else I can do.”
On Yuki’s visit, Masa felt strained when they talked, and she was sure Yuki also felt it. But Yuki was never rude or irritable (易怒的). Even when they disagreed, her face was always full of patience.
64．According to the passage, Yuki was __▲__.
A．a gardener B．an artist C．a college student D．an art teacher
65．From the underlined sentence, we can infer (推断) that Yuki wanted to __▲__.
A．end the conversation B．weed the flowerbed
C．leave Masa’s garden D．take some photos
66．It can be learnt from the passage that __▲___.
A．Yuki studied art because she wanted to be a teacher
B．Masa wasn’t satisfied with Yuki’s work in the garden

D．Masa and Yuki had very different ideas about college

A．unforgettable B．uncomfortable C．thankful D．crazy
【答案】64．C 65．A 66．D 67．B
【解析】
64．细节理解题。根据“She had visited in the last weeks of June, as soon as her college was out for the summer.”可知Yuki是一名大学生。故选C。
65．推理判断题。上文讲Masa和Yuki对于上大学的看法有很大不同，结合“The minute Masa was going to point out that this was too careless a way to live, Yuki suddenly stood up and put on her straw hat.”可知Masa正要指出Yuki的生活方式太不仔细，而Yuki不愿继续谈下去才突然站起来戴上草帽，她是想终结对话。故选A。
66．推理判断题。根据第四至十一段中Masa和Yuki之间的对话可知，Masa不想Yuki去上大学，但Yuki想要去上大学，两人产生了争论，由此可知Masa和Yuki对大学有非常不同的看法。故选D。
67．推理判断题。根据“and she was sure Yuki also felt it. But Yuki was never rude or irritable (易怒的). Even when they disagreed, her face was always full of patience.”可知两人的对话出现了争议，Masa和Yuki的感觉一样是不好的，“strained”应是一种不舒服的感觉。故选B。
