The last four or five times she had stopped in here, she had also been the only customer. That night, Chandra told her family about the situation at the bookstore. Her brother Pete said, “The bookstore needs more people. How about starting a book club? People could meet in the store to discuss a book they’ve all read. If they buy it at the store, they'll receive a discount (折扣).” “That's great!”Chandra said excitedly. “How about having some writers come and do a book signing? I even have an idea for the first writer. Mr. Fletcher, my math teacher, writes children's books. I'm sure he would be willing to help. I could put up fliers(传单) about the event at my school.” The next day, Chandra shared her thoughts with Mrs. Lee, the bookstore owner.Mrs. Lee seemed unsure at first, but by the time Chandra finished, she was smiling.“I'll try your ideas, but I need some help. Someone will have to lead the book club discussions. Also, I'll need help advertising these events because I've never been good at such things.” Chandra promised that she would help. She asked Mr. Fletcher if he would read and sign some of his books at Books‘n’More, and he happily agreed. A date was chosen, and Chandra threw herself into the preparations. She personally invited all her friends, the other teachers, and even the school headmaster. Finally, everything was ready for the big night. Mrs. Lee opened the event.“Before I introduce tonight's writer, I must thank a young lady named Chandra Phillips. This exciting evening was mostly managed by her. If she were a little older, I would have her as my advertising director,”said Mrs. Lee. The crowd laughed and clapped(鼓掌). As Mr. Fletcher began to read from his latest book, Mrs. Lee took a seat next to Chandra. “Could I really work here someday?”Chandra asked. Mrs. Lee nodded with a smile. Chandra tried to listen to Mr. Fletcher, but her mind swam with even more ways to help Books'n'More be successful. After all, she had to protect her future job! 24. To attract more people to the bookstore, Chandra suggested . A. offering customers discounts B. holding a book signing event C. giving out fliers in the streets D. advertising the bookstore online 25. Which words can best describe Chandra? A. Careful and strict. B. Humorous and outgoing. C. Helpful and creative. D. Strong-minded and patient. 26. In Paragraph 6, the crowd's laughter and clapping showed that they . A. recognized Chandra's efforts B. enjoyed Mr. Fletcher's reading C. felt happy for Mrs. Lee’s success D. were surprised at Chandra's future role c ( claims(言论). Maybe they think the claim is surprising or ) ( Why do people fall for bad information? Scientists are trying to find that out. They are also trying to find out what we can do about it. ) ( P eople on social media sometimes share questionable ) interesting. But how the claim is presented can influence how many people believe it. People are likely to think that video is the most believable, noted S. Shyam Sundar.He works at Pennsylvania State University. Sundar and his team showed fake(假的)news stories to 180 people. One fake story claimed plastic was used to make rice. One version(版本) of the rice story was sent as text only. One version was a sound recording. The third had a video. It showed a man feeding plastic sheets into a machine. The tested people graded the video story as the most believable. “Seeing is believing. People are more likely to accept misinformation when they see something in a video,”Sundar said. That's especially true with the rise of deepfake technologies, which create fake but visually (视觉上) believable videos. Another big problem with fake news is how easily it gets into our brains. We often find claims believable that go along with the values we hold. Some people are unlikely to question things that fit with what they already believe. Why? Because our values can influence how we process information. So how can we slow the spread of fake news? It might just require getting people to stop and think. Two scientists, Gordon Pennycook and David Rand, worked together on a study. They showed both real news headlines and fake ones to 3,500people. They tested these people's analytical reasoning (分析推理). People who scored higher on the analytical tests were less likely to mistake fake news headlines as being correct. In other words, lazy thinking helps drive someone's acceptance of fake news. When we recognize something untrue, we should debunk(揭穿) it. Researchers have some tips: ·Check the information from trustworthy sources (来源). Look at different sources to see if they agree. ·Once you correct misinformation with a true fact, explain why the misinformation is wrong. ·Speak up as soon as possible when you see misinformation being shared on social media. Not paying attention can help fake news spread. Fortunately, there's a simple solution——stop shutting off our brains so much. By thinking carefully and sharing real information, we can help everyone stay informed with facts. 27. The purpose of Sundar and his team's study is to find out . A. what ways can be used to spread news B. how fake news spreads through different media C. what kind of people are likely to believe fake news D. how the presentation of news influences its believability 28. What can we learn from the passage? A. People are likely to believe information that matches their values. B. Debanking bad information depends heavily on technology. C. The brain has a weak ability to recognize misinformation. D. Lazy thinkers often slow down the spread of fake news. 29. What is the passage mainly about? A. The causes of fake news and its bad influences. B. The spread of fake news and people's complaints about it. C. The reasons for believing fake news and ways to deal with it. D. The problems caused by fake news and the necessity to recognize it. D We live in a society that judges our happiness by how much we have achieved and how successful we are. We are often told, “Work hard, become successful, and then you`ll be happy."Is it true? Can Success Bring Happiness? Happiness helps you get success; it's not the other way around. Studies show ha ppier people are more likely to be successful, but successful people are predictably not more cheerful. When you are happier, you feel more hopeful, thankful, and strong-minded, which are important for success. As a result, you have a better chance of getting better jobs and even building stronger relationships. Success can cause a short-term increase in happiness, but it cannot guarantee a lasting one. Shortly after achieving success, you return to your usual level of happiness. Moreover, depending on success for happiness often adds pressure, stress and negativity to every part of our lives. In conclusion, chasing(追求) happiness and well-being is better than running after success. 31 Positive psychology says that happiness is both how good we feel in the present moment and how good we feel when we look at our lived lives. Trying to lead a happy life is not always about refusing our negative emotions or acting as if we feel happy all the time. We all experience difficult periods, and it's natural for us to feel sad, angry,and other negative emotions. Happiness is about being able to embrace (接受) the good times, but it's also about dealing with the unavoidable bad times. Is Happiness Being Satisfied With What You Have? Does the thought of“not having enough”trouble you all the time? Arc you always chasing something bigger and better? At the end of the day, that kind of chase can undoubtedly leave anyone empty and tired. And in that process, you are missing out on getting happiness from plenty of things you have right now. Instead of focusing on getting more, you need to focus on all you have in your life at the present moment.When you start sharing what you have, you find your happiness continuously increasing. Sure, you can work hard for success. But success won't necessarily lead to happiness. True happiness is in the climb itself. So, focus on being happy right now.Be proud of where you are in life and who you are. Be happy first, and embrace the journey to success. Then you'll be able to achieve more and perform better in many areas of your life, and you'll also enjoy the journey to your goals. 30. The word“guarantee”in Paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to . A. influence B. require C. promise D. prevent 31. Which of the following would be the best heading for Paragraph 4? A. When Do You Feel Truly Happy? B. What Does Happiness Really Mean to You? C. How Can You Fully Embrace Your Happiness? D. Why Is Refusing Negative Emotions Key to Happiness? 32. The writer probably agrees that . A. the more you achieve, the happier you will be B. one can't succeed without giving up some happiness C. chasing great achievement s is necessary for happiness D. true happiness comes from enjoying the journey to success 33. What is the writer's main purpose in writing this passage? A. To help people balance happiness and success. B. To explain why success brings happiness to people. C. To stress the importance of both happiness and success. D. To guide people to value happiness above achieving success. 2023年北京市东城区中考二模英语试题 三、阅读理解 下面的材料介绍了四家购物场所。请根据1-3小题中描述的Jamila, Nick和Karen三人的购物需求，帮他们选择一家最合适的购物场所。 21 . Jamila is going to a party tonight. She wants to buy something new to wear. She also needs to get a cake for the party. 22 . Nick needs some new football shoes. He’s not sure what kind to buy, so he wants to try out different styles and wants someone to help him choose. 23 . Karen is working till 8 pm, but she wants to buy a good garden chair. She wants to leave the chair outside all year round. A．Centre PlaceSeveral stores in this shopping centre sell things for outdoor activities. Don’t miss the shoe stores, where you can get advice on what style to choose. You can also find camping things, like sleeping bags. Open from 8:00 to 15:00 every day. B．Satton Street The fast food restaurants, cafes and electronics shops attract young people here. You can find the latest in technology, such as mini-headphones or fitness watches. Every week there are new things that you’ve never seen before. C． Highview Centre Highview Centre offers a lot of furniture that can be used both outdoors and indoors, such as tables and chairs. Some of it is made of plastic, while other pieces are made of stronger materials that will last for years. Open 10 am-10 pm. D．Holly Corner This area of small shops is a must for shoppers who love stylish clothes and classic gifts. The clothes shops will help you decide on just the right style. Visit Vintage Café for tea and delicious homemade cake. Finally, the big day arrived. I was going to spend four months in France, learning French. Alice, my sister, was going as well. We arrived at the airport, feeling nervous and excited. The flight went by quickly because I was so busy talking with Alice about our trip and how different French life might be from life back home. We decided that we shouldn’t spend too much time together in France. We knew we wouldn’t learn much French if we did that. Even though we agreed, I was worried that I wouldn’t be able to say much the whole time I was in France. However, when my host family(接待家庭) met me, I knew from the mother’s warm smile that everything would be OK. It was still a bit stressful at first to try to understand and communicate, but after a couple of weeks it became easier. I spent a lot of time with a lovely girl who was a friend of the family, and we got on very well. In fact, I learned lots of interesting words from her, you know, the kind of things you don’t find in books! I had one shameful moment. I used the wrong word when I was talking to a waiter, but he was relaxed about it and told me not to be afraid of making mistakes. When the time came to say goodbye to my host family, I was very sad to leave. However, I have brought back some wonderful memories from this experience. The most important thing I’ve learned is that if you’re open-minded and positive(积极的) about learning a language, then it’s much easier. I’ve come back much more confident in my ability. I’ve even started watching a television show in French and I’m surprised to find that I can understand a lot more than before my stay in France. 24．Why didn’t the writer and Alice want to spend too much time together in France? A．Because they talked too much during the flight. B．Because they didn’t get on well with each other. C．Because they knew life in France would be different. D．Because they wanted to get more chances to practice French. 25．How did the writer feel when she started her life in France? A．Relaxed. B．Stressed. C．Confident. D．Surprised. 26．From the experience, the writer learned ________________. A．how to make friends with strangers B．how to live comfortably in a new country C．to keep an active attitude toward language learning D．to correct mistakes immediately after making them With numbers of books and courses helping us develop self-discipline(自律), it seems quite obvious that self-discipline is highly valued. However, this may overstate the importance of being self-disciplined and make people worried. People with such worries are likely to push themselves harder and harder. Once their energy is burned out or their willpower breaks down, they will feel upset. In fact, being self-disciplined isn’t about leading a restrictive(约束的)lifestyle. Although it seems to be usually connected with self-control and willpower, it still has to be based on respect for one’s own free will and effective methods. Some people are caught in a “self-discipline trap(陷阱)” where they always work hard, and mistakes, failure and laziness are not allowed. Is this really the way we can improve ourselves, or is it a way to make things worse? Even though staying self-disciplined is beneficial for self-improvement, it’s never something everyone must do in life. How can we avoid being over self-restrained? Here are some ideas. Follow your own energy flow and limit. Going against it may produce unpleasant results. For example, sleeping for five hours and then forcing yourself to get up for a morning run. The harm caused by not getting enough sleep may outweigh the good brought by running. Follow your own heart. Information on the Internet has created a hidden competitive environment where many good examples lead the trends(潮流). People who see these are more likely to follow. Listen to your own voice instead of others. Think and decide whether it is what you truly want. Change your goals and expectations. Some who are over self-restrained may set unrealistic goals and expectations. They may never stop until it’s perfect, even though nothing could really be perfect. For example, losing 10 pounds in a week. It then easily goes into an unhealthy cycle where they always set goals but never reach them. Work smart instead of working hard. We might all have ever been stuck in a situation where, no matter how much effort we’ve made, the progress is slow. Have you found better ways to do it instead of just trying harder? For example, if I have a goal of learning 20 new words each day, I might follow the Forgetting Curve(遗忘曲线)to do it more effectively. 27．What is Paragraph 2 mainly about? A．The meaning of self-discipline. B．The ways to develop self-discipline. C．The effects of being self-disciplined. D．The reason for being self-disciplined. 28．To avoid being over self-restrained, we should ________. A．consider other people’s advice B．follow good examples on the Internet C．set up achievable goals and expectations D．raise our energy limit to get good results 29．Why does the writer use the example of learning new words in the last paragraph? A．To stress the value of working hard. B．To explain how effort influences progress. C．To suggest a good way of learning a language. D．To show the importance of finding effective methods. Gossip is the information passed from one person to another about other people’s lives. You may think gossip is awful. Even dictionary entries suggest that it is often unkind or untrue. And yet this common idea is unreasonable. Firstly, a study by Robbins and Karan in 2019 shows that gossip common but much of it is just people sharing information. For their study, 467 people’s conversations were recorded. Robbins and Karan found that, on average, these people gossiped for 52 minutes a day, with three quarters of the time spent communicating non-evaluative(非评价性的) information. Only about 14 percent(百分比) of the gossip was considered malicious, a much smaller percentage than the common idea suggests, although to be fair, that was double the percentage of positive gossip. Scientists consider gossip to be an important reason why our ancestors(祖先) were able to stay alive. It helped spread important news, but more importantly, it provided information about who was trustworthy and who might not work well with others in a group. It allowed humans to build small communities with those who could be trusted, ensuring a greater chance of living. Today, it seems that not much has changed. Gossip still allows us to form, relationships and find out who we can work with best. Gossip also explains the principles(行为准则) of our society. When we hear someone criticize a person’s behaviour, it is obvious that such behaviour is unacceptable and should not be copied. That’s not to say we should pay attention to everything we hear, but it gives us direction. Of course, these days, our world is changing the nature of gossip. Our networks are now larger, and some gossip can spread like wildfire. Our obsession(痴迷) with gossip about well-known people may seem unimportant to some, but it serves to bring people closer. Problems come up when gossip includes untrue information. This kind of gossip can destroy people’s lives. So scientists say that it’s important to share information that is unlikely to hurt others. If we fail to do this, people will see us as someone who can’t be trusted and may even avoid us. Similarly, gossiping to improve one’s own place in society is unacceptable. It’s best to share information that may act as a warning to others or encourage them to behave better. It’s these things that normally push people together rather than make them turn away from each other. 30．The word “malicious” in Paragraph 2 probably means “________”. A．unimportant B．harmful C．meaningful D．interesting 31．What can we learn from Paragraph 3? A．People who gossip a lot in a group are always criticized. B．People who like gossiping can work well together in a group. C．Gossip helps people build relationships today as well as in the past. D．In the past, people who liked gossiping were considered untrustworthy. 32．The writer probably agrees that ________. A．we shouldn’t spend too much time gossiping B．gossiping to move up in society should be avoided C．gossip about well-known people should be limited D．we shouldn’t stay close to people who like gossiping 33．What is the writer’s main purpose in writing this passage? A．To discuss the effects of gossiping. B．To state the reason why gossip is common. C．To remind people of the problems of gossiping. D．To guide people to be responsible when gossiping. 2022年北京市东城区中考二模英语试题 三、阅读理解 Do you get pocket money from your parents or do you work to make money? Do you spend it or save it? Let’s check out how four teenagers in Britain get money and do with it. Ruth, 13 My parents give me £10 a week. I get it on Saturday after I wash my father’s car.

Teachers were preparing for the next day in the classrooms, but students weren’t allowed in. Akram thought it was such a waste of time although he could play on his phone, so he decided to change things. He wanted to stay at school and do his favorite hobby—art. One day, he asked the head teacher if students could do something in the school after classes. “If you find out what is needed, I will help you,” the head teacher set him a challenge. Over the next week, Akram talked to all the students who waited after school and other students, too. He asked them what they would like to do in that hour. Many students said they wanted after-school clubs for things like chess, basketball, art and reading. When Akram arrived at the head teacher’s office, there was another student, Holly, waiting there. The head teacher told them that they both had the same idea, so she wanted them to work together. She gave them some problems to solve. “You need to find the people who will be responsible for the clubs and who will pay for any equipment（设备）,” said the head teacher. “Also, you need to talk to the cleaning team to make sure that they can clean up after you leave.” Akram and Holly talked about their idea and problems at the next Parents’ Association meeting. They also did the same thing to their teachers and the cleaning team. Several days later, a teacher told them that he could organize trainee（实习生）teachers to be responsible for the clubs. The Parents’ Association decided to raise money to pay for equipment like chess boards and baskets. The cleaners agreed that they could clean the classrooms after the hour was finished. Now the school has some exciting after-school clubs. Akram and Holly enjoyed the experience very much. 24．What did Akram want to do after school? A．Play on his phone. B．Go home and do his homework. C．Do his hobby at school. D．Help his teachers do something. 25．Who are responsible for the clubs? A．Some students. B．Some parents. C．Some trainee teachers. D．Some cleaners. 26．Akram and Holly enjoyed the experience because ________. A．their parents and teachers praised them B．the other students were thankful to them C．they could talk to the head teacher directly D．they solved some problems through their efforts Background knowledge is the knowledge a person has about the world when he or she starts to read a text. It is agreed that background knowledge plays an important role in reading. Put simply, the more you know about a topic, the easier it is for you to read a text, understand it, and remember the information. To understand this, here are two points. First, background knowledge enables readers to choose between different meanings of words. For example, if you read the word “operation” in a sports article, you might think about a sportsperson with a serious injury（伤）. But if you read the word in a math text, you’d think about a mathematical process. Second, understanding a text requires readers to fill missing information and make inferences. To do this, readers need to have some basic knowledge about the topic. Students get background knowledge both through personal experiences and by learning in the classroom. Then how can teachers help students build background knowledge? Here are some suggestions. Begin by teaching words in categories（类别）. For example, teachers can try something as simple as this: “Apples, bananas, strawberries, mangoes. They are a type of...（fruit）. Categories of objects and the use of generic nouns（统称）can help students increase vocabulary and develop concepts（概念）. ________. Reading builds knowledge, but wide reading has usually been taken as reading about a lot of different topics. Teachers can try a different way: encourage children to find an interest and read as many books as they can on one topic. This will help them develop a deeper knowledge on a topic. Use multimedia（多媒体）. Direct experiences are the most effective ways to build knowledge. There is nothing more exciting for students than learning through direct experiences, such as field trips and other activities. Although multimedia cannot replace real-life experiences, it can often provide a lot of information that we could only wish to experience firsthand. It can also introduce children to important words and concepts. Background knowledge is important in a student’s ability to fully understand a text. Teachers’ efforts can help students become stronger thinkers and life-long readers and learners. 27．The writer talks about the word “operation” in Paragraph 2 to explain________. A．what background knowledge is B．why background knowledge is important C．when people need background knowledge D．how people develop background knowledge 28．Which of the following would be the best topic sentence for Paragraph 5? A．Make wide reading interesting. B．Introduce different topics to students. C．Encourage topic-centered wide reading. D．Help students find their favourite books. 29．What can we learn from the passage? A．Vocabulary is the greatest difficulty in understanding a text. B．Making inferences has little connection with background knowledge. C．Multimedia is more useful than direct experiences in building knowledge. D．Developing vocabulary and concepts can help build background knowledge. In America, an increasing number of middle and high schools now require students to serve a certain number of community service hours before they can graduate. And some parents ask their children to do volunteer work year round even if it’s not mandatory（强制性的）at school. Volunteering has important benefits, such as learning new skills and developing responsibility. However, some people question whether community service is worthwhile if students are forced to take part. Some people say that many teenagers’ schedules（日常安排）are filled with homework and after-school programs, and forcing them to do other activities will make them stressed out. “Adding community service to teenagers’ already crowded schedules makes it feel like an unpleasant and boring task,” says Ellison O’Grady, 15, a student from Bay Head, New Jersey. Other people say that mandatory service will lead students to believe that they should only help others when they receive an immediate benefit in return, and finally discourage them from volunteering later in life. Teenagers who volunteer are more likely to do better in school and are less likely to get involved in risky behaviors, studies show. They also get social skills and work experience that can pay off later in life. However, if many busy teenagers are given a choice, they would simply skip voluntary service. That’s why requiring community service is important, supporters say. In addition, there is little proof to support that mandatory community service weakens young people’ s motivation（动机）to join in future service. In fact, studies show that mandatory service is connected with strong wish to take part in future volunteering. As a high school student in New York, Bellamy Richardson, now 18, had to do 75 hours of community service before graduation. At first, she was worried how she could find that much time. But to her surprise, she not only met the service requirement sooner than she’d expected, but also learned a lot, and found that she loved volunteering. Bellamy is now glad that her service wasn’t by choice. “Requiring community service would give other people the chance I had,” she said. So ask yourself: Would you volunteer if it weren’t mandatory? Could the benefits of volunteering make it worthwhile no matter how teenagers get involved? I suppose community service is something that should be encouraged even if it is just a duty at the beginning. 30．Some people are against mandatory community service because________. A．it has bad effect on students study B．it makes students worried and bored C．students fall short in their abilities to do it D．students get little immediate benefit from it 31．The word “skip” in Paragraph 3 probably means “________”. A．give up performing B．get interested in C．have difficulty in doing D．enjoy benefits from 32．What can we learn from the example of Bellamy Richardson? A．Students take part in community service because of strong love. B．Some students don’t have the chances to offer community service. C．Mandatory service makes students lose wish to volunteer in the future. D．It’s possible and beneficial for students to meet schools service requirement. 33．What is the writer’s main purpose in writing this passage? A．To express support for mandatory community service. B．To stress the importance of balancing volunteer work and study. C．To discuss the influence of volunteer work on students future life. D．To remind people of the disadvantages of mandatory community service. 参考答案 2024年北京市东城区中考二模英语试题 21.D 22.B 23.A 24.B 25.C 26.A 27.D 28.A 29.C 30.C 31.
