(夹叙夹议文本，家庭亲情话题，根据2015年宁波市中考模拟试卷改编。）
I lived in Dallas nearly all my life with my parents and elder sister. I was raised to respect others and value education.“You can be anything you want to be，”my parents always say. My parents are never without a helpful word of advice or a bit of encouragement when life gets tough. I always knew that going to college was expected of me. After all，both of my parents are college graduates with many degrees. Even after I decided that I'd rather get married to a man who was so clearly wrong for me than go to college at 16，they never stopped telling me that they loved me and that I could do anything I wanted to do. Thankfully，they talked some sense into me(开导我别干傻事)．I graduated from high school and currently attend the University of Oklahoma. I want to make the world a better place. And I know that my parents are the reason for this.
Every time I call home to tell them about a grade I received，they tell me how proud of me they are. I know there are college students out there that have no one to call home to when they get an ?A? on a project and I feel lucky to have my parents.
Don't get me wrong. We've had our share of problems. I was the angry teenager and they were the terrible parents that wouldn't let me stay out all night or let me get my tongue pierced (穿透)．But we managed to work through those issues. They never stopped loving me or believing in

me.
Without their constant love and encouragement，I can't be successful .My parents taught me to always fight for what I believe in. And so I'm working toward something really great and can only hope that I continue to make them proud.

(社会行为方面的生活感悟性文本，根据浙江省余姚市中考模拟试卷完形改编，题目自编） When I was in college, I remember hearing about a book titled “Looking Out for Number One”. I never read the book, but the title has always stuck with me. I think it was because the title turned me off. I hadn?t been taught to be so selfish that I should be focused on only me . I thought I needed to be helping others and, along the way, I would also be helping myself. Now, I realize I should have at least considered learning more about looking out for number one.
Over 30 years after seeing the book about looking out for number one I?m realizing number one, me, is the person I should be concerned about first. Jeffrey Gitomer asks the question, “Who is the most important person in the world?” Most people answer, the customer. He then asks, if there were only two people left in the world, the customer and you, who would you want to survive ? Now the answer is me.
It makes me sense that if we can?t help ourselves first, we will never be prepared to help others. We all need to learn to control our lives and make the best decisions for ourselves. That will put us in a position to help others in the future . But many of us are slow to understand this. It has been said that happiness will bring success, but success doesn?t always bring happiness. We all want to be happy and successful. For some of us can be very happy when our basic needs are met and our family are safe. Others will seek high levels of success thinking that will bring happiness. I?m sure we can think of a person who is very successful, according to the world?s standards (标准), but they don?t appear to be happy at all. This is because they have been so busy working for somebody else?s goals that they haven?t considered their own needs.
21. Who does the writer think is the most important person in the world now? （细节理解题） A. Others B. Himself C. The customer D. Jeffrey Gitomer

22. The underlined words“ turned me off” in Paragraph 1 probably mean “_____”. (词义猜测题） A. made me excited B. made me bored C. made me surprised D. made me pleased
23. From the third paragraph we can learn ________. (推理判断题） A. we should help others instead of ourselves B. we need help others make the best decisions C. helping others can help control our lives
D. actually few of us understand this idea earlier
24. Why do some successful people not feel happy at all? (细节理解题） A. Because they don?t believe success always brings happiness. B. Because their basic needs are not completely met. C .Because they seek for too high levels of success.
D. Because they haven?t been working for their own goals.
25. The best title for the passage is “______________”. (主旨大意题）
A. Considering Our Own Needs First B. The Most Important in the World C. Helping Others First D. Happiness and Success

(说明类文本，讲述了大脑信息处理系统跟日常活动之间的一些关联，根据杭十四中2014届高一上学期期中考试阅读文本改编。）
You?re running late for work and you can?t find your keys. What really makes you angry is that in your search, you pick up and move them without realizing. This may be because the brain system dealing with the task are working at different speeds, with the visual（视觉的）system unable to keep pace. So says Grayden Solman at the University of Waterloo in Ontario, Canada. To study how we search, Solman?s team created a simple computer-based task about searching through a pile of colored shapes on a computer screen. Volunteers were asked to find a certain shape as quickly as possible, while the computer monitored their actions. “Between 10 and 20 percent of the time, they would miss the object,” says Solman, even though they picked it up. “We thought that was quite often.”
To find out why, the team developed a number of further experiments. To check whether volunteers were just forgetting their object, they gave a new group a list of things to remember before the search task, which they had to recall（回忆） afterwards.
The idea was to fill each volunteer?s “memory load”, so that they were unable to hold any other information in their short-term memory. Although this was expected to have a bad effect on their performance at the search task, the extra load made no difference to the percentage of mistakes volunteers made.
To check that the volunteers were paying enough attention to the things they were moving, Solman?s team created another task about a lot of cards marked with shapes that can only be seen while the card was being moved. Again, they were surprised to see the same level of mistake, says Solman.
Solman?s team think that the system in the brain that deals with movement is running too quickly for the visual system to keep up. While you are searching a messy house to find your keys, you might not be giving your visual system enough time to work out what each object is. 26.In your search for your keys, the surprising fact is that __________.(推理判断题） A. it?s your anger that makes it hard to find them

B. you have really found them but without noticing C. the brain systems are always working well D. the visual system is always going wrong
27. In the computer-based task volunteers? task is to ____________.（细节理解题） A. study how we search B. create colored shapes C. look for some shape D. monitor others? actions
28. In all the experiments Solman?s team find that ____________.（细节理解题） A. it?s more difficult for volunteers to recall afterwards B. “memory load” has affected their performance much C. different volunteers may make different mistakes D. volunteers always have the same level of mistake
29. If we want to find our keys quickly we should ____________.(推理判断题） A. improve our short-term memory by doing different tasks B. pay enough attention to the things that are moving C. slow the system in the brain that deals with movement D. give visual system enough time to keep up with the brain 30. What does the passage mainly tell us?（主旨大意题） A. The reason why we can?t find our keys. B. The way that the brain deals with the task. C. The experiments Solman?s team has done. D. The mistakes that volunteers have made. 第二节 (共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分)
阅读下面信息，请从以下选项（A、B、C、D、E和F）中选出符合31-35题的选项，其中有一项是多余选项。(选择段落小标题，生活计划方面的说明应用性文本，原创试题） I have six lovely children—one of them now an adult, and a couple more almost there—and I give a lot of thought to what I think they should know as they grow up and go out into the world. What could I best teach them to equip them for life? This is what I?d like them to know:
31 Most people are afraid to do things because they are afraid they?re not good enough, afraid they?ll fail. But you are good enough---learn that and you won?t be afraid of new things, won?t be afraid to fail, won?t need the approval(同意) of others. You?ll be pre-approved—by yourself.
32 Many people look for happiness in food, drugs, alcohol, shopping, partying, sex…because they?re seeking external happiness. They don?t realize the tools for happiness aren?t outside them. They?re right inside you: mindfulness, gratitude, compassion, thoughtfulness, the ability to create and do something meaningful, even in a small way.
33 As a young man, I thought I needed to go to college and then be employed, and that owning a business is for rich people. That was all wrong. It?s possible for almost anyone to start their own business, and while you?ll probably do badly at first, you;ll learn quickly. It?s a much better education than college.
34 That said, I?ve had some amazing teachers. They?re not always in school, though: they?re everywhere. A friend I met at work. My peers online. My mom, dad, brothers and sisters, grandparents, uncles and aunts. My wife. My kids. Failure. Teachers are everywhere, if you?re willing to learn. I didn?t learn from college..I learn from doing.
35 Thirty percent less if you can manage. Most people get a job and immediately
