My parents got new jobs and higher income, so they decided it was time to move from Woodbridge to a better, more educational town.In the US, it is unnecessary to take a test to get into a “good” middle or high school.

There are so many Chinese people nearby that we even have our own Chinese school.Edison is an old town, just like thousands of others in the United States. However, I have treated it as my hometown.

They are in space, and they can reach any part of the world. The satellites take pictures of the atmosphere (大气), because this is where the weather forms (形成). They send these pictures to the weather stations. So meteorologists(气象学家) can see the weather of any part of the world. From the pictures, the scientists can often say how the weather will change. Today, nearly five hundred weather stations in sixty countries receive satellite pictures. When they receive new pictures, the meteorologists compare them with earlier ones. Perhaps they may find that the clouds have changed during the last few hours. This may mean that the weather on the ground may soon change, too. In their next weather forecast, the meteorologists can say this. So the weather satellites are a great help to the meteorologists. Before satellites were invented, the scientists could forecast the weather for about 24or 48 hours. Now they can make good forecasts for three or five days. Soon, perhaps, they may be able to forecast the weather for a week or more ahead (提前). 1. Satellites travel _. A. in space B. above space C. above the ground D. in the atmosphere 2. Why do we use the weather satellites to take pictures of the atmosphere？Because _. A. clouds form there B. the weather forms there C. the weather satellites can do it easily D. the pictures can forecast the weather 3. Meteorologists forecast the weather _. A. without studying satellite pictures B. before they receive satellite pictures C. when they have received satellite pictures D. after they have compared the new satellite pictures with the earlier ones 4. Maybe well soon be able to forecast the weather for _. A. one day B. two days C. five days D. seven days or even longer 5. The main idea of this passage is that satellites are now used in _. A. taking pictures of the earth B. receiving pictures of the atmosphere C. weather forecasting D. doing other work in many ways (A) 这篇阅读材料向我们介绍了气象卫星在预报天气中所发挥的重要作用。如今，许多国家的气象站都是在接收到卫星云图后，由气象学家进行研究分析，然后预报天气的。在卫星的帮助下，人们可以预测未来三五天或更长时间内的天气状况。1.

D。文章结尾的 Soon, perhaps, they may be able to forecast the weather for a week or more ahead 这句即是答案之所在。5. C。短文首句即点明了主旨。 There was once a man called Mr. Flowers, and flowers were his only joy in life. He spent all his free time in one of his four glass-houses and grew flowers of every color, with long and difficult names, for competitions (比赛). He tried to grow a rose of a new color to win the silver cup (银杯) for the Rose of the Year. Mr. Flowers glass-houses were very near to a middle school. Boys of around thirteen of age were often tempted (引诱) to throw a stone or two at one of Mr. Flowers glass-houses. So Mr. Flowers did his best to be in or near his glass-houses at the beginning and end of the school day. But it was not always possible to be on watch at those times. Mr. Flowers had tried in many ways to protect his glass, but nothing that he had done had been useful. He had been to school to report to the headmaster; but this had not done any good. He had tried to drive away the boys that threw stones into his garden; but the boys could run faster than he could, and they laughed at him from far away. He had even picked up all the stones that he could find around his garden, so that the boys would have nothing to throw; but they soon found others. At last Mr. Flowers had a good idea. He put up a large notice (布告) made of good, strong wood, some meters away from the glass-houses. On it he had written the words: DO NOT THROW STONES AT THIS NOTICE. After this, Mr. Flowers had no further trouble; the boys were much more tempted to throw stones at the notice than at the glass-houses. 6. It was Mr. Flowers hope to _. A. build glass-houses in his free timeB. grow the Rose of the Year in a silver cupC. win a silver cup for growing a rose of a new colorD. grow a rose with the longest name7. Boys were often tempted to _. A. throw stones at Mr. Flowers glass-houseB. throw stones at Mr. Flowers from their schoolC. be in or near by Mr. Flowers glass-housesD. play with Mr. Flowers near his glass-houses8. Mr. Flowers stayed in or near by his glass-houses _. A. at times when school-boys were walking near themB. all the school day when there were no boys aboutC. where he could not be seen by the boys passingD. in his free time at the beginning and end of the school day9. Mr. Flowers had tried to _ to protect his glass. A. be on watch in his free time B. ask the headmaster for helpC. pick up all the stones around his garden D. do all the above10. Mr. Flowers good idea was to _. A. write some words on the glassB. put up a large notice to cover his glass-housesC. give the boys something else to throw stones atD. send for policemen(B) Mr. Flowers嗜花如命，他种花的暖房位于一所学校附近。一些男孩子经常朝他种花的暖房上扔石块。尽管他绞尽脑汁，想尽了一切办法，都无济于事。最后Mr. Flowers想出了一个高招。他挂起了一块结实的布告牌，上面写着“请不要朝布告牌扔石块”。孩子们的兴趣于是转向了这块木牌，Mr. Flowers自此高枕无忧了。6. C。“to win the silver cup for the Rose of the Year.”一句中，不定式在句中作目的状语，也是Mr. Flowers的愿望之所在。7. A。第二段前两句有明确的说明。8. D。“So Mr. Flowers did his best to be in or near his glass-houses at the beginning and end of the school day.”是该题的出处。(from )9. D。为了保护自己的玻璃房子不受损坏，想尽了各种方法。选项A、B、C所述内容均在文中有明确的阐述。10. C。由最后一段，特别是其中的关键词large, good, strong以及布告上的DO NOT THROW STONES AT THIS NOTICE, 可知他制作布告牌的真正目的不是要它对孩子们起警示作用，而是利用孩子们的心理让其当作他们投掷的靶子。【实战训练】 C中考阅读理解（8）In many high schools, there are strict rules about using mobile phones. If your phone rings in class, for example, the teacher will be very angry.Every mobile phone has a ringtone(铃声). It tells you that someone is calling you. Now, there is a ringtone called “mosquitotone(蚊子铃声)”. Using it, students can receive calls and text messages(短信) in class but the teacher will not realize what is happening. How?Mosquitotone has a special sound. Only children and teenagers can hear it. As we get older, we are unable to hear some sounds with high frequencies(频率). As a result, a child or teenager can hear the mosquitotone ringtone, but its inaudible to someone 20 or older.But sometimes, people over 20 can hear the ringtone. One British students phone uses mosquitotone. In class, the students phone rang. The 32yearold teacher looked at the student and became unhappy. “I heard that. You know the rules: no mobile phone in class.” Not all the students are interested in mosquitotone. Jerry Jones, a high school student of 17, says, “Using mosquitotone too often is bad for our hearing. I may use it for pleasure, but not in class. Its unfair to the teachers！”What do parents think of mosquitotone? “I think it is perfect for places like movie theaters，” says Connie Neeson, 44. “Think about it. Youre watching a film and someones mobile phon
