（选自2016中考模拟题中的阅读理解）。阅读下列短文，从每小题所给的选项中选出最佳选项。 The Vieira family moved to the United States in 1981. At that time, they decided to stop speaking Spanish（西班牙语）at home and only communicate in English. This was because they were now living in an English-speaking country.
Now the Vieira children are adults, and they sometimes travel to Spain（西班牙） to visit their relatives and friends. But they cannot communicate with them. Unfortunately this is common. When people move to new countries, they often leave their own customs and mother language behind. This is a mistake because there are many benefits（益处）of knowing more than one language.
One advantage of speaking more than one language is that you can communicate directly with more people around the world. You do not have to depend on others to talk for you, so you’re more independent. People who know only one language must use others to help them communicate. Furthermore, speaking a second language also allows people to experience other cultures and customs more effectively. Local expressions, vocabulary, and even jokes can have a powerful effect on a person’s understanding of another culture. So, knowing more than one language increases your knowledge of other cultures.
Finally, having more multi-language speakers improves relationships between countries. If people from different countries can communicate well, the world can become closer. Countries will then have more respect for each other and better understand each other’s problems.
The benefits of knowing more than one language are clear. In fact, there are no disadvantages. It is very sad that many people don’t try to learn another language. It is even worse when people let themselves forget their mother language and become silenced.
( ) 1. What is the purpose of giving the experience of the Vieira family? A. To discuss the needs for teaching a new language． B. To show the problems of speaking only one language．
C. To introduce the passage’s main characteristics to the readers.
( ) 2. According to the passage, what can you do if you speak more than one language? A. Find a better job. B. Make more friends.
C. Communicate more independently.
( )3. What does the underlined phrase “multi-language speakers” means ? A. People who know a new language B. People who know their mother language C. People who know more than one language
( ) 4. Based on the last paragraph, which of the following is the worst? A. Not knowing another language． B. Forgetting one’s mother language． C. Refusing to learn another language. ( ) 5. What is the passage mainly about? A. The benefits of learning other languages B. The reason why people come to America C. The importance of learning English. 参考答案1—5、BCCBA

grandparents’ home, each child would write a love note to their grandparents. They hid notes in the food box, or even in a fridge. For days, their grandparents would smile as they discovered these reminders of their children’s love.
So as I cleaned Mom’s room downstairs before she got home. I began to write notes which showed my love. Most notes were in her room downstairs where she would be able to find easily, but one note was hidden upstairs under her pillow. “Mom, if you have found this note, you must be feeling better. We are so glad!”
My notes were a reminder of my love for Mom. Just like her medicine made her better physically, these would improve her health, too.

（选自2016中考模拟）阅读理解。阅读下列短文，根据短文内容选择最佳答案。 Are people less happy or happier when they get older? If your answer is \"happier\are right, based on a study published seven years ago. It found that people become happier and experience less worry after age fifty. In fact, it found that by the age of eighty-five, people are happier with their life than they were at eighteen.
The finding came from a Gallup survey of more than three hundred and forty thousand adults in the United States in 2008. At that time, people were between the ages of eighteen and eighty-five.
Arthur Stone in the Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Science at Stony Brook University in New York led the study. His team found that levels of stress were the highest among adults between the ages of twenty-two and twenty-five. Stress levels dropped sharply(急剧)after people reached their fifties.
Levels of happiness were the highest among the kids and those in their early seventies. The survey also found that men and women have similar emotional patterns (情感模式)as they grow older. However, women at all ages reported more sadness, stress and worry than men did.
So why would happiness increase with age? One theory(推测)is that, as people get older, they become more thankful for what they have and have better control of their emotions. They also spend less time thinking about bad experiences. ( )1. How many adults were included in the survey?
A. 300. B. 40,000. C. 340,000. D. 103. ( )2. What can you learn from the findings of the survey?

The day before yesterday, when Peter’s family were having dinner, Father raised an interesting question, “Was there anything in our past that we feel ashamed of, guilty about, or regretted? Maybe we can find ways to say sorry, or take some action to right any wrongdoing.” This seemed like a very private matter, but Peter thought about it carefully the whole night.
Peter remembered an incident from middle school. In his school, there was a worker, Neil Stone, who none of the kids liked. One night, Peter and two of his classmates decided to play a trick on him. They found a can of red paint, and wrote on the school main road in bright red: Neil Stone is a fool! The next day, the whole school saw these words. Within two hours, Neil had Peter and his two classmates in his office. His classmates said that they had done it but Peter lied, denying the truth. No one ever talked about it.
This morning, Peter went back to his middle school. Neil Stone is still working there. “Sorry, Neil. Do you still remember what happened ten years ago? I want you to know that I did it.” “I knew it!’ Neil laughed. They had a good laugh and a lively discussion. Neil’s closing words were: “Peter, I always felt bad for you because your classmates got it off their mind, and I knew you were carrying it
around all these years. I want to thank you for visiting me… for your sake.”
Peter knows that no matter how difficult the situation is, it is never too late to clear up the past and make a fresh start.

（2016中考模拟题中的阅读理解）。阅读下列短 文，从每小题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
Is your TV connected to the Internet? What about your chair,or your fridge? Probably they are not. But in the future, most things in your home may be connected, thanks to the so-called “Internet of things”.
The Internet of things may be coming sooner than you think. Earlier this year, Aamsung CEO spent a lot of time talking abput the Internet things. He said that five years from now,every Samsung product will be part of the Internet of things,no matter whether it’s a remote control or a washing machine.
So, how do household(家用的) objects that are part of the Internet of things work? Well,think of a common chair. When connected to the Internet, the chair warms up when it knows the user has
just walked into the room and is feeling cold.
An Internet-connected camera could help people feel safer in their homes. It can know people’s faces and has an infrared sensr(红外传感器),so even if it’s dark it can see when someone passes by and send you a message on your smartphone to let you know who’s there. If the person is someone you don’t know,it can tell you that ,too.
But according to MIT Technology Roview, whether companies are connecting dog food bowls or security systems to the Internet, there may be some problems. For example, many early
connected-home objects don’t have much built-in security, which means they could be hacked(被黑客攻击). Morever, it could be difficult to get these new machines to work together especially when they are made by different companies. To fight this ,many companies have joined the Open Interconnect Consortium, which had 45 menbers by late 2014.
So, picture this: you enter your home.The temperature changes to make you feel comfortable. Your favorite music starts playing for you. Do you think that this would be a good thing? I t may happen sooner than you think.
1. What does the article mainly talk about? A. Advantages of living with the Internte B. Disadvantages of living with the Internte C. The coming ” Internet of things” D. The imposslble ” Internet of things”

A. A warm chair connected to the Internte B. Dog food bowls connected to the Internte C. A remote comtrol made by the Samsung Company D. An Internet-connected camera with an infrared sensor. 3. Paragraph 5 is mainly about _________ A. the possible problems of” the Internte of things”
B. the problems with early connecten-home objects C. how to get different new machines working together D. how to solve the ” the Internte of things” problems
