Whenever the sun dropped and the blue sky came up, my father and I used to climb the mountain near my house. Walking together, my father and I used to have a lot of conversations through which I learned lessons from his experiences. He always told me, “You should have goals like climbing the mountain.” Without the mountain-climbing that we both enjoyed, we couldn’t have enough time to spend together because my father was very busy. I really got a lot from the mountain-climbing. It gave me time to talk with my father and to be in deep thought as well as develop my patience.
Once we climbed a very high mountain. It was so challenging for me because I was only ten years old. During the first few hours of climbing, I enjoyed the flowers and trees, and the birds’ singing. But as time passed, I got a pain in both of my legs. I wanted to quit climbing, but my father said to me, “You can always see a beautiful sky at the top of the mountain, but you can’t see it before you reach the top. Only there can you see all of the nice things, which is just like your life.”
At that time, I was too young to understand his words. But later after that, I got to know the meaning of hope in life. I found myself standing at the top of the mountain, and the sky was as clear as crystal.
小題1: The passage tells us that mountain-climbing was ______ for the father and the son.
A.hardB.enjoyableC.painfulD.comfortable
小題2: The underlined word “crystal” in the passage means _______.
A.巖石B.火焰C.水晶D.寒冰

A.You will get all you need at the top of the mountain.
B.The sky is always as clear as crystal.
C.You can find life is full of nice things.
D.Never give up half-way.

A.the writer was very successful in his life

小題5: The best title for the passage is ______.
A.Reaching the Top of the Mountain
B.Standing at the Top of the Mountain
C.Conversations between Father and Son
D.How to Get to the Top of the Mountain
小題1:B小題2:C小題3:D小題4:A小題5:A
小題1:根據(jù)文章第一段知,作者和父親一起爬山是一件很愉快的事情。
小題2:clear:清晰的,明亮的。只有水晶才會(huì)有此特征“天空清澈如水晶”。
小題3:文中父親所說(shuō)話意思是“不要半途而廢,只有到達(dá)山頂才能看到美麗的風(fēng)景,在半山腰是不能看到全部的景色的!
小題4:從文章最后兩句“But later after that, I got to know the meaning of hope in life. I found myself standing at the top of the mountain, and the sky was as clear as crystal.”可知,作者的一生十分成功。
小題5:文中告訴我們,做任何事都不要半途而廢,要努力實(shí)現(xiàn)奮斗目標(biāo)。

A group of swans flew down to a beach where a crow (烏鴉) was jumping around. The crow watched them with disdain (筆試).
“You have no flying skills at all!” he said to the swans. “All you can do is to move your wings. Can you turn over in the air? No, that’s beyond you. Let’s have a flying competition. I’ll show you what real flying is!”
One of the swans, a strong young male, took up the challenge (挑戰(zhàn)). The crow flew up and began to show his skills. He flew in circles, performed other flying tricks, and then came down and looked proudly at the swan.
Now it was the swan’s turn. He flew up, and began flying over the sea. The crow flew after him, making all kinds of comments (評(píng)價(jià)) about his flying. They flew on and on till they couldn’t see the land and there was nothing but water on all sides. The crow was making fewer and fewer comments. He was now so exhausted that he found it hard to stay in the air, and had to struggle to keep himself from falling into the water.
The swan pretended (假裝) not to notice, and said, “Why do you keep touching the water, brother? Is that another trick? “
“No,” said the crow. He knew he had lost the competition. “I’m in trouble because of my pride (自大) ! If you don’t help me, I’ll lose my life...”

We have always been interested in the moon.2000 years ago, people already knew that the moon moves around the earth and where it would be in the sky at different times of the year. At that time, everything about the moon was learned by watching it carefully in the sky.
When scientists could use telescopes to study the moon more closely, their ideas began to change. They could see the moon was made of rocks. Most scientists thought moon rocks would be different from those on the earth. This was because they believed the moon had once been a planet that had been caught in the earth’s gravity millions of years earlier.
In 1969, moon rocks werefinally brought to the earth and studied. Much to their surprise, scientists found that, except for water, the moon and the earth were made of the same things. Once again new ideas were needed for this new information.
After years of study, most scientists now think that the moon was once part of the earth. They believe very early in its history, maybe 4 billion years ago, something about the size of Mars hit the earth. This sent billions of rocks into space around our planet. These rocks slowly joined together and after many years became the moon.
In the future, even thought our ideas about the moon may change again, we will still be interested in it.

Do you        to write with your left hand? If you do, you are one of the millions of “l(fā)efties” in the world. Why do some people use left hand more often than others? To understand left-handedness, it is necessary to look at the         . The brain is divided into two hemispheres(半球). The left hemisphere is the center of language and logical thinking. This is where they do their math problems and memorize words. However, the         hemisphere controls how they understand ideas and         they respond(作出反應(yīng)) to the five senses—sight, hearing,        , taste, and touch. The left hemisphere controls the right side of the body,          the right hemisphere controls the left side. Both sides of the body receive the          information from the brain because they are connected(聯(lián)系). In right-handed people, the left hemisphere is stronger. In left-handed people, the right hemisphere is         .
Lefties prefer not only the left hand but also the left         . They would rather use the left foot to kick a ball because their whole body is “l(fā)eft-handed”.
From Newtown      Albert Einstein, Wen Jiabao to Obama, Choplin to Zhao Benshan, many    people are left-handed. Are you left-handed even though you are forced to write with your right hand? Don’t worry if you are, you are in good company.

科目:初中英語(yǔ) 來(lái)源:不詳 題型:閱讀理解

  It was New Year’s Night. An aged man was standing at a window. He raised his mournful eyes towards the deep blue sky, where the stars were floating like white lilies on the surface of a clear calm lake.
He had already passed sixty and brought from his journey nothing but errors and regrets. Now his health was poor, his mind vacant and his heart sorrowful.
The days of his youth appeared like dreams before him, and he recalled the serious moment when his father placed him at the entrance of the two roads- one leading to a peaceful, sunny place, covered with flowers, fruits and filled with soft, sweet songs; the other leading to a deep, dark cave, which was endless, where poison flowed instead of water and devils and poisonous snake hissed ( 發(fā)嘶嘶聲) and crawled (爬, 爬行).
He saw the lights flowing away in the darkness. These were the days of his wasted life; he saw a star fall from the sky and disappeared, and this was the symbol of himself. His regret like a sharp arrow struck deeply into his heart. Then he remembered his friends in his childhood. But they had made their way to success and were now honoured and happy on this night.
The high church clock struck and the sound made him remember his parents’ early love for him. They had taught him and prayed for his good. But he chose the wrong way. With shame and grief he dared no longer look towards that heaven. His darkened eyes were full of tears, and with a despairing effort, he burst out a cry: “Come back, my early days!”
His youth did return, for all this was only a dream which he had on New Year Night. He was still young though his faults were real; he had not yet entered the deep, dark cave, and he was still free to walk on the road which leads to the peaceful and sunny land.
Those who still wander on the entrance of life, hesitating to choose the bright road, remember that when years are passed and your feet stumble (絆腳) on the dark mountains, you will cry bitterly, but in vain(徒勞): “ Oh youth, return! Oh give me back my early days!”
小題1: Why does the author set his story on New Year’s Night?
A.He wants to tell people it’s time to recall the past
B.He suggests the aged man will have a bright future
C.He attempts to stress(強(qiáng)調(diào))the man’s sad feeling
D.He expects people to share the man’s sad feeling
小題2: The aged man in the passage on New Year’s Night can be described as ____.
A.sorrowful, fearful and regretful
B.hopeful, sorrowful and peaceful
C.regretful, painful and disappointed
D.disappointed, regretful and hopeful
小題3: The author writes the passage mainly to ____.

B.help the old man to pick up his confidence
