（A）

When I looked at the grade on my math paper, my jaw almost dropped to the ground: a big “65”in bright red ink. As a good student in my teachers’eyes, I had never received such a terrible grade before.

I was so ashamed that when I got home that afternoon I told a lie to my dad. I told him I got

85 and the report wouldn’t come until the end of the month. Dad smiled. His daughter would never lie abo ut her grade, so he didn’t doubt the unusual delay（延期）of my report at all.

A month later. Dad casually asked me again about the report at the dinner table. He looked right into my eyes and asked for an answer. Having no choice. I told him that I had in fact got just 65 in my math final. I had lied because I didn’t want to let him down.

For a moment, he just looked at me. I would have preferred a telling off than that silence. Finally, Dad said, in a hurt voice, “You have already let me down, with your lie. I am not disappointed at your maths score. That is no big deal---no one can be perfect all the time. However, I am very disappointed in you. If you can’t be honest with your dad, who can you be honest with? Its much easier to get a better grade than rebuild someone else’s trust in you.”

Dad’s words touched my heart. I could not forgive myself for having hurt his feelings. I took out the report that I had been hiding for weeks, handed to him and said sorry to him, sincerely. My father smiled and touched my head gently, “I’m glad you understand that.” At that time, I realized that my honesty is not only important to me , but to those around me that truly care about my happiness.

In one of Shakespeares plays a character says: “No legacy (遗产) is so rich as honesty.”After the crisis between Dad and me, I began to understand those words.

A. She usually got a higher grade.

48.What does the underlined sentence “No legacy is so rich as honesty.” probably mean?

B. Honesty is as important as other legacies.

C. Honesty is more important than other legacies

Feeling satisfied with yourself and your life can actually protect against cancer, strokes(中风) accidents and more. Happiness not only makes you good, but it’s good for you.

Being happy can prevent——

Cancer. One Swedish study showed that people who were unhappy at work had a 5.5 times greater risk of getting colon cancer than happier ones. Why? Recent research suggests depression(沮丧) weakens the body’s disease-fighting defenses.

Strokes. Happy people are less likely to develop high blood pressure, a major risk factor for strokes, says, Lyle H. Miller, Ph. D.

Diabetes(糖尿病). The unhappiness that results from stress can sometimes bring about d iabetes, according to Miller’s research. If stress is a long time, this can damage the pancreas(胰腺) and possibly cause it to produce too little insulin(胰岛素). That’s why people suffer diabetes. Here are a few ways to stay happy and healthy:

1.Fix attention on the positive, like good health and a loving family. If you start enjoying what you have, you’ll feel happier.

2.Stop wishing for what you don’t have. People who feel satisfied are happier with their lives. “satisfaction isn’t getting what you want; it’s wanting what you have,” says David G. Myers, Ph.

D.

3.Choose to be happy. “Happiness is a belief, so make up your mind to be happy,” says Wayne Dyer.

4.Stay connected with other people you love. “Social support-feeling liked and encouraged by friend and family-de velop happiness and good health,” say Myers.

5.Get “high” on exercise.

51.Being happy can prevent all the following EXCEPT_________.

A.cancer

B. strokes

C. diabetes

D. insulin

52.The unhappy people are more likely to get cancer because __________.

A.stress can cause pancreas to produce too little insulin

B.they work so hard that they are in poor health

C.depression weakens the body’s disease-fighting defense

D.they don’t have a positive view on their life

53.The underlined word “this”in paragraph 4 probably refers to _________

A.pancreas

B.stress

C. cancer

D.diabetes

54.Which of the following will the author probably agree with?

A.Trying to get what you still don’t have.

B.Pay more attention to work and money

C.Spending more time with your family.

D.Trying to get a higher position in the company.

55.What does the passage mainly tell us?

A.How we can live long

B. Happiness is good for health.

C. Cancer can be prevented.

D. How we can live happily

Fifty years ago four normal guys from Liverpool, England, recorded their first song Love Me Do. This music shook the world. No one knew that later the four boys would become the most famous and successful music group of all time. They are the Beatles.

New York, London, Hamburg... The Beatles may have traveled the world, but they never forgot where they came from--Liverpool. Liverpool is in the North West of England. All four Beatles were what English people call “Scousers” -- people born in this city. Liverpool is a city with a rich history.

Many of the songs The Beatles wrote were about their hometown and personal lives. In the song Penny Lane, they sing of a small road from their Liverpool childhood that is “in my ears and in my heart”.

The North West of England is famous for friendliness and helping others. This is found in The Beatle’s music. The song Hey Jude, which was played at the Olympic Ceremony in London in 2012, and is one of the most successful songs of all time, comes from real life. When John Lennon divorced（离婚）his wife, his son Julian was very upset. Paul McCartney wrote the song to comfort the boy, nicknamed Jude. The town has a strong community feel thanks to its role in the industrial revolution（工业革命）. It was major port. This can be seen in some of The Beatles’ songs, like Yellow Submarine.

2013年广东省广州市中考英语试卷-答案

广东省广州市2013年初中毕业生学业考试 英语答案解析 一、听力 略 二、语言知识与运用 第一节单项选择 16.【答案】C 【解析】考查冠词。名词the boy被in white这个介词短语做定语修饰，特指“穿白色衣服”的那个男孩，故用定冠词the。 17.【答案】A 【解析】考查非谓语动词。不定式做tell的宾语补足语，构成tell sb．to do sth的结构。对不定式进行否定在to前加not，即not to do 18.【答案】B 【解析】考查反身代词。by oneself为“靠某人自己”，该题的主语the man为男士，故用himself（他自己）。 19.【答案】C 【解析】考查宾语从句的连词。宾语从句欠缺talk bout的宾语部分，故排除how和when（副词，只能做状语）；根据句意，我无法理解你所正在谈论的事情。故用what（什么）而不是which（哪一个）。 20.【答案】A 【解析】考查情态动词。根据句意，“我必须现在完成作业吗？”由答句可知，你没有必要（现在完成），故用needn't（没必要）；mustn't表“禁止”，shouldn't表“不应该”，can't表“不能”。 21.【答案】D 【解析】考查不可数名词。news为“新闻”，是不可数名词，所以不能用只能修饰可数名词的many和afewalot 后面要加of才能加名词。 22.【答案】B 【解析】考查介词。根据句意，“没有你的帮忙，我没法做这件事情”。故用without（没有，无）；with（有，伴随），for和to（对于），均不符合题意。 23.【答案】C 【解析】考查固定搭配。take away“带走”，take off“起飞”，take care of“照顾”take out of“从…..取出”。 24.【答案】B 【解析】考查时态。when引导一个过去时态的从句，可知主句动作发生在过去，故用一般过去。

广州市2020年高三第二次模拟考试英语试题及答案

广州市2020年高三第二次模拟考试 英语 第二部分阅读理解(共两节，满分40分) 第一节(共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分) 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。 WENQIANG A We can all think of times when people didn't make remembering easy. Directions given at machine-gun speed. New people introduced in a flood of names and handshakes. Whenever information is passed between people, it’s all too easy for it to go in one ear and straight out of the other. Thankfully, the opposite is also true. Look around you, and you’ll see parents who can get their children to rem ember exactly what they were told; advertisers who know how to imprint their sales messages on our brains. So, how do they do? Their secrets can be summed up in four simple words: focus, imagery, reasons and engagement. FOCUS means ensuring that the person you’re talking to can concentrate on learning. Choose your moment carefully. Check that they can properly hear or see the information. Communicate slowly and clearly enough for their memory to cope. IMAGERY helps information to stick. Do everything your can to make other people “see”the ideas you’re giving them. Add visual details to directions, and illustrate abstract concepts with metaphors. REASONS to remember help people to put in the mental effort. So, make it clear that your words are important, and be explicit about why. Maybe this information will save them time, protectthem from embarrassment, or let them enjoy a particular experience or event. EMGAGEMENT requires you to ask questions. Point out links between new concepts and things listeners already know. Activate their senses, spark their curiosity, get them doing something physical, or simply make them laugh. The next time you’ve got an important message to pass on, put some of these techniques to the test. You’ll discover that there are benefits on both sides when you know how to FIRE people’s memories into action. 21. What is the main purpose of the text? A.To report new research. B.To provide some advice. C.To explain a problem. D.To define some terms. 22. How can you do to help a listener “focus” on w hat you are saying? A.Select the appropriate time to raise the topic. B.Do something humorous to get their attention. C.Make sure the information provided is correct.
