1、2017 年中考英语专题训练 阅读表达 理智使用网络 Surfing the Internet can help open students eyes and get more knowledge. As a teacher, I encourage my students to use the Internet. In class those students who surf the Internet understand lessons better than the others. Besides, people can use the Internet to write letter

2、s or stories and send emails. Many students communicate with their friends online. You can also make friends by chatting on QQ. It is cheaper than calling somebody far away and its also much quicker. Nearly one third of young people surf the Internet for fun. They like to listen to music, watch film

3、s, and go to their favourite stars websites. But can the Internet cause problems? Some of my students who used to study well at school are now failing exams. Because they spend a lot of time playing computer games. 1. Surfing the Internet can help open students eyes, cant it? (no more than seven wor

4、ds) 2. Whats the writer? (no more than seven words) 3. How can you make friends on the Internet? (no more than seven words) 4. How many young people surf the Internet for fun? (no more than seven words) 5. What do you think of surfing the Internet? 英语的发展变化 How do we know whats right or wrong in Engl

5、ish? Languages such as French and Spanish each has an official(官方的 )organization that tells you whats correct. But there is nothing like that in English. So what can we do? There is, of course, Standard English. This is the kind of English you read in newspapers or in formal letters. It is also the

6、English you learn at school or in textbooks. However, Standard English is not official English. And unbelievably, linguists(语言学家 )think Standard English is on the same level as all other types of English such as Cockney English， Yorkshire English, South African English, Australian English, Singapore

7、an English. And according to linguists, there is no such thing as Standard Spoken English. English is changing all the time. Every year, new words appear and others disappear. Words change too. For example, for many years, the Latin word “agendum“ was the accepted singular form and “agenda“ was the

8、plural form. However, these days, very few people use the Latin-sounding “agendum“， with “agenda“ being the accepted singular form, and “agendas“ the plural. Newspapers each has their own style when they write certain things. For example, The Guardian puts dates like “21 July 2011“ (with the day fir

9、st， followed by the month and no commas).However, the news agency Reuters writes them like this “July 21， 2011“ (with the month first， and a comma(逗号 )between the day and the year). Other newspapers have different ways of doing it too. So， as you can see, theres no one “correct“ way-theres a variety

10、 of ways and each one is acceptable. Next time someone tells you that something is wrong, tell them that it isnt wrong, it is just English. 1. According to passage two, how many ways can you read or learn Standard English(no more than four words) 2. What is the plural form of the Latin word “agendum

12、ges of English? 肢体语言 Body language is one of the most powerful means of communication, often even more powerful than spoken language. People around the world show all kinds of feelings, wishes and attitudes that they might never speak aloud. It is possible to read others around us, even if they do n

13、ot want us to catch their unspoken communication. Of course, body language can be misread, but many gestures and actions are common. The most common facial expression is, of course, the smile-its function is to show happiness and put people at ease. It does not always mean that we are truly happy, h

14、owever. Smiles around the world can be false, hiding other feelings like anger, fear or worry. There are unhappy smiles, such as when someone loses face and smiles to hide it. However, the general purpose of smiling is to show good feelings. From the time we are babies, we show unhappiness or anger

15、by frowning(皱眉头 ).In most places around the world, frowning and turning ones back to someone shows anger. Making a fist(拳头 )and shaking it almost always means that someone is angry. How about showing that I am bored? Looking away from people or yawning will， in most cases, make me appear to be unint

16、erested. However, if I turn toward and look at someone or something, people from almost every culture will think that I am interested. Being respectful to people is subjective, based on each culture, but in general it is probably not a good idea to give a hug to boss or teacher. In almost every cult

17、ure, it is not usually good to stand too close to someone of a higher rank(等级 ).Standing at a little distance with open hands will show that I am willing to listen. With so many cultural differences between people, it is great to have some similarities in body language. We can often be wrong about e

(no more than 14 words) 从失败走向成功 Why are so many people so afraid to fail? Quite simply because no one tells us how to face the

20、 failure(失败 ).In fact, failure can become experience that means growth. We forget that failure is part of the human condition and that every person has the right to fail. Most parents work hard to prevent failure or protect their children. One way is to lower standards. Nearly 60% of the parents cho

21、ose this way. When a child finishes making a table, the mother describes it as “perfect“ even though it doesnt stand still. The other way is to blame(责怪 )others. If John fails in science, his teacher is unfair or stupid. Theres a problem with the two ways. It makes a child unprepared for the real li

22、fe if they dont meet enough failure. The young need to learn that no one can be best at everything, no one can win all the time. The young should be allowed to experience failure.
