A long time ago. there was an emperor.  He had a beautiful garden. In the garden, there was a little nightingale(夜莺) singing very beautifully.

One day the emperor heard about this little bird's beautiful voice. He asked his guards to bring her to him. As soon as the emperor heard the nightingale's voice, he said, "Put her in a golden cage, so she can stay and sing for me whenever I want to hear her. "

The little bird was so unhappy about being kept in the cage that she stopped singing one day. The emperor was very angry. He ordered the scientists in his palace to make a robot bird for him. The bird could sing very beautifully, too. The emperor was pleased.

Soon the robot bird became old. It no longer sang beautiful songs. Just at that time, the emperor became very weak. One morning, while lying in bed, the emperor wanted it to sing once again. But the robot bird couldn't sing any more. Suddenly the nightingale landed on the window. She began to sing her most beautiful song. The emperor was very happy! He became better and better each day.

After the emperor was well,he changed a lot and became kind to his people. From then on, all his people cherished(爱戴) him for his love and kindness.

In a cold winter, a couple had to move out of their big house because of bankruptcy(破产). The husband worked day and night but with no care of his wife. So she thought, “He doesn’t love me any more; he just thinks about his work.”

One day, she wanted to take a shower, but her husband stopped her at the door. “Let me take it first, OK?” “Why not let me take it first?” she asked. “I’m tired, dear. You take it later, OK?” She was very sad.

On a rainy day, she found nothing to do and turned on his computer. After a few minutes, her eyes were full of tears...it was his diary:

Today, I was quite sad. She asked me why I was always taking the shower first, and I said I was tired. She was unhappy. I wasn’t as rich as before! We moved to the small house and it was very cold. I found that if one person took the shower first, the bathroom could get a little warmer. So I always rushed to the bathroom first.

Many people say that they are working too many hours. They don't have enough time to relax or to stay with their family.

Work hours are different from one country to another. In France, people spend about 1,646 hours a year at work. In Japan, however, people work about 2,159 hours a year. That means a Japanese worker works 513 more hours a year than a French worker.

Why do people work so many hours? Some people work extra hours because they want to make more money. However, many companies don't pay overtime. Their workers don't get more pay for more work. Some people think it's their duty to work more hours. Some are afraid of losing their jobs if they don't work more hours.

Many people say that their vacations are too short. In France, people get five weeks of paid vacation a year. In Germany, they get four to six weeks, and in the United States, two weeks. One study shows fewer than half of workers used all their vacation days. In Great Britain, there is a saying, "All work and no play makes Jack a dull (迟钝的) boy." If that is true, there must be a lot of dull people in the world.

73.A Japanese worker works __ more hours a year than a French one.

A. 513              B. 1,646             C. 2,159              D. 3,805

A crow(乌鸦)is sitting in a big tree. She has a big piece of meat in her mouth.“My babies will have a nice breakfast,”she thinks. An old fox is looking for his breakfast. He sees the crow and the meat.“How can I get that piece of meat?”he thinks.

The famous scientist and thinker, Charles Darwin, was born on February 12, 1809. His family lived not far from the River Severn, England.

Charles’ father was a well-known doctor and the son of a still greater doctor and scientist. Charles’ father hoped that his son would also become a doctor.

As a boy Charles liked to go for walks in the fields and forests. He watched nature and compared what he saw with everything he had read in science books. He also liked collecting very much. He collected many things: eggs, stones, and leaves. His father did not like this, as Charles was not studying very well at school.

①为了成为一名医生,十六岁时达尔文就被送到爱丁堡大学(Edinburgh University) 学习。But he was interested in the history of nature.

Then he studied at Cambridge University until 1831.

Some time later, he heard that the ship Beagle was going on a trip to South America and wanted a scientist. His professor advised him to go. He said the trip would be just for Darwin. So when the ship left England in December 1831, Darwin was on it. The research lasted almost five years. The Beagle studied the waters in the sea near South America. It also visited New Zealand, Australia and islands in the Pacific. Darwin saw many new plants and animals. He collected all kinds of plants, which he sent home from the places he visited.

When he returned home, Darwin was warmly greeted by his families and many friends.

In 1842, Darwin went to live in Kent, where he continued his studies of the changes in nature. ②Darwin understood that plants and animals are not always the same, and that they really change.

By 1859, Darwin had finished his famous book The Origin of Species. It made a great hit in the world of science. ③He was opposed (反对) by the church and even by some scientists. But later, more and more scientists agreed with him.

Darwin continued his studies in science until he died in 1882.

Dear Reader,

Imagine an 11-year old girl whose days are often spent washing clothes, looking after a baby, working hard in the field.

Imagine a little girl who knows there will not be enough food for dinner, who can’t fill her stomach with water because it’s polluted, and who has watched life slip away from her father, little brother and sister because the family is too poor to see a doctor.

Is it hard to believe? For Maria Pastora, these are the real life.

Maria would gladly walk miles to school, but her mother, now alone, needs her badly at home. If Maria grows up without any schooling, what will be her future?

But for just 52 pennies a day, you can sponsor a child like Maria. Through “Save the Children”, you can help Maria’s mother get the tools and ways she needs to turn their poor food into a good dinner and the money she needs to buy clothes and school things for Maria.

To help Maria most, your money is put together with that of other sponsors, so hard-working people can help themselves. Build a school, a hospital…bring in clean water. This is what “Save the Children” has been about since 1932.

For you there are many rewards. Have the chance to write to or hear from your sponsored child. Receive photos or progress reports. Know you are reaching out to another person. Not with a handout(施舍物), but a “handup”. That’s how “Save the Children” works. But without you, it can’t work. Please take a moment now to fill in and post the form below to help a child like Maria and her village.

It can make such a difference in her life and yours.

考点:故事类记述文阅读

点评:本题中个别小题不能直接从文中找到答案,需要自己根据相关内容分析总结。一定要弄懂全文后再动手解答问题。书写答案时,注意首字母大写,因为是回答问句,即使只有一个单词也是一个句子。为避免不必要的错误,只要能使用原文的就尽量使用原文回答问题,即使自己总结也尽量使用短句。同时并注意人称和数的变化。

21.Becaue he can play the piano with his toes.

22.He was only 10 years old.(可以只答10 years old.)

23.Yes.

24.His parents encouraged him to play the piano.(可以只答His parents)

【解析】主旨大意:本文主要记述了残疾人钢琴家刘伟的成长历程及其艺术成就。

21.根据历年长沙中考阅读出题原则,即“文章顺序与出题顺序一致原则”,可以从文章第一段的第一句找到题目对应的答案“Liu Wei is very famous in China because he can play the piano with the toes(脚趾)。

22.本题所问“How old”,学生需要形成一个条件反射,即在文章中寻找数字,再根据“文章顺序与出题顺序一致原则”,可以马上锁定在第二段第一句“当刘伟10岁时候,因为和朋友们在一起玩,不小心触碰到了电,而失去了双手。”

23.本题为本类阅读文章中必考的一种题型,一般疑问句。看到此问题,学生的第一反应为“Yes or No.”再利用中考阅读中细节题技巧之“在题干中找专有名词和普通名词”画出“Liu Wei”和“arms”,定位在文章中第三段第一句“Liu Wei was very sad when both his arms were cut off after the accident.”再一次印证了“文章顺序与出题顺序一致原则”。

24.本题所问的是“Who”,那么学生的第一反应即到文章中找“人”。一眼扫下来,第四段和第五段都没有出现除了刘伟之外的人,而在第六段中出现了 “his parents went on encouraging(鼓励) him and he wanted to make his parents proud.”所以答案为his parents.

25.根据“文章顺序与出题顺序一致原则”,最后一题应该出现在64题(即第六段)之后,也就是文章的最后一段,找到了观众的反应“The audience(观众) were deeply moved and very excited”。

26.She was buying a newspaper.

28.She called the police.
