Bach's Bakery lies in Changsha City,Hunan Province.It is run by a German couple,Uwe Brutzer and his wife Dorothee Brutzer,who started it up ten years ago with the purpose of creating more jobs for those disabled in the neighborhood.So far,Bach's Bakery has trained around 30 hearing disabled people.While some skilled workers found jobs in other bakeries and hotels and have been able to live on their own,several of them have stayed to work at the bakery after they completed the training. The Brutzers'work has won the support of many people in China.With the spread of news about the bakery,many Internet users learned about Bach's Bakery and its inspiring story.As a result,many local people in Changsha as well as visitors from other parts of the country come to buy their products,Uwe said that public attention has encouraged them a lot and helped grow the bakery's business,resulting in workers getting higher pay.However,what he values more is that,through media (reports,more people have come to understand that disabled people can work as well as other people when they are given chances. Now,as they are preparing to return to Germany,they have found a German couple teaching in China as the new managers,and handed over the bakery to a public welfare()organization.Their wish is to continue providing free training for the hearing disabled and that the bakery will never be changed into a shop with moneymaking as its main goal. 26.Why do the workers in Bach's Bakery use sign language? A.Because their boss doesn't allow them to talk. B.Because the machines make too much noise. C.Because they can't communicate in spoken words. D.Because heavy work keeps them too busy to speak. 27.What can be inferred from Paragraph 2?

We must not be afraid of losing.When we lose,just take it with a smile and look on the bright side of it.Failure can't be avoided in our life.Edison failed 10,000 times before he invented the light bulb(). When he was asked how he felt,he said that he hadn't failed 10,000 times but had learned 10,000 things which didn't work.We must know that history is full of examples of men and women who achieved success although they failed many times. Losing is not very disgraceful.We must accept our failure and leam to take advantage of it. Remember that it can be helpful.Take action to walk out of it.When we lose,think about what we did and how we can improve.If someone else can help,we'll be lucky enough.Maybe he or she has been through the same experience before.Many people enjoy helping others solve problems.This can save us a lot of time in learning how to avoid the same mistakes in the future. We should face our failure when we lose.There is only one winner in every competition.Some win, while some lose.That is a usual way of life.If we offer our congratulations to the winners and share in their happiness,we won't feel sorry for our failure. In a word,being a good loser will help us to succeed in life.It might be painful at the beginning,but there are many advantages.Good losers set examples to us,and most importantly,they finally win. 31.What can we learn from every failure according to the text? A.A way of life. B.A valuable thing. C.A general rule. D.A secret of success. 32.In the writer's eyes,why did Edison achieve success? A.He got help from others. B.He happened to make it. C.He avoided possible mistakes. D.He saw the bright side of losing. 33.What does the underlined word"disgraceful"probably mean? A.Bad. B.Personal. C.Dangerous. D.Interesting. 34.What does the writer advise the losers to do in a competition? 初四英语试题第5页（共11页） A.Express the regrets. B.Forget the failure. C.Share in the winners'enjoyment. D.Join in another competition. 35.What is the best title for the text? A.Ideas about How to Avoid Mistakes B.Experience in Dealing with Problems C.Advice on How to Be a Good Loser D.Advantages of both Success and Failure D Many of us have seen rainbows in the sky once the sun starts shining again after it rains.For us to see a rainbow,the conditions need to be just right.We need some water drops in the air,like rain or even fog, and we need the sun to be behind us and quite low to the ground.This is because a rainbow is created by light passing through water drops. The light that comes from the sun seems white to us.But the white light we see is made up of a mix of different colors.When the light goes through a raindrop,these colors can separate out.Each of the colors in the rainbow has a different "wavelength"().Raindrops look like little balls.When light hits one of these little balls of water,the light can change direction.We call this"refraction"()Each of the different wavelengths is refracted differently.If the light hits the raindrop at the right place,the refraction separates the wavelengths out into their different colors. We are taught there are seven colors:red,orange,yellow,green,blue,indigo and violet.But this isn't exactly true.Blue and green are next to each other in the rainbow,which is why we can see turquoise. Brown is a mix of red and green.But they aren't next to each other in the rainbow,so we don't see them mix to make brown. We would never see black and white in a rainbow.Black is what we see when there's no light at all. On the other hand,white is a mix of all the colors together.When light is refracted by raindrops,it separates the white light out,meaning it is no longer white. 36.Why can we see a rainbow under the right conditions? A.Because the raindrops are like little balls B.Because the light goes through raindrops C.Because the sunshine seems to be colorful D.Because the weather is foggy after it rains 37.According to the passage,what can we know about the colors in the rainbow? A.They can become brown or black. B.There are only seven colors in all. C.They mix to make the white light. D.Their own places can be changed. 38.What does the word turquoise in paragraph 3 probably refer to? A.all the colours B.rain or even fog C.the white light D.a mix of blue and green 39.Which part of a magazine may this passage be taken from? A.Science. B.Health. C.Culture. D.Fashion. 初四英语试题第6页（共11页） 40.What is the passage mainly about? A.How are the colors received in the rainbow? B.When can the colors turn blue in the rainbow? C.Which colors aren't covered with light in the rainbow? D.Why can't we find white,black and brown in the rainbow? 三、阅读理解七选五根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中 有两项为多余选项。(10分) Everyone may have the influence of worries.41.Whether your worries are big or small,you can take these three steps to deal with your worries: Try to find out what you're worried about. 42.Other times,you might not,Try to find it out first;if you can't,you can ask for help.

Nature 初四英语试题第3页 (共11页) B During work hours, among the sounds of machines, the kitchen of Bach's Bakery (面包房) is especially tidy and quiet, not because of any rules against talking during work hours, but because all of the workers have a hearing disability. They are hard- working and professional in their work, and use sign language to communicate with each other from time to time. Bach's Bakery lies in Changsha City, Hunan Province. It is run by a German couple, Uwe Brutzer and his wife Dorothee Brutzer, who started it up ten years ago with the purpose of creating more jobs for those disabled in the neighborhood. So far, Bach's Bakery has trained around 30 hearing disabled people. While some skilled workers found jobs in other bakeries and hotels and have been able to live on their own, several of them have stayed to work at the bakery after they completed the training. The Brutzers’ work has won the support of many people in China. With the spread of news about the bakery, many Internet users learned about Bach's Bakery and its inspiring story. As a result, many local people in Changsha as well as visitors from other parts of the country come to buy their products, Uwe said that public attention has encouraged them a lot and helped grow the bakery's business, resulting in workers getting higher pay. However, what he values more is that, through media(媒体) reports, more people have come to understand that disabled people can work as well as other people when they are given chances. Now, as they are preparing to return to Germany, they have found a German couple teaching in China as the new managers, and handed over the bakery to a public welfare (福利) organization. Their wish is to continue providing free training for the hearing disabled and that the bakery will never be changed into a shop with moneymaking as its main goal. 26. Why do the workers in Bach's Bakery use sign language? A. Because their boss doesn't allow them to talk. B. Because the machines make too much noise. C. Because they can't communicate in spoken words. D. Because heavy work keeps them too busy to speak. 27. What can be inferred from Paragraph 2?

After all, we can't win all the time. However, we can learn something valuable from every failure. This may help us succeed in the future. So we must know how to be a good loser. We must not be afraid of losing. When we lose, just take it with a smile and look on the bright side of it. Failure can't be avoided in our life. Edison failed 10,000 times before he invented the light bulb(灯泡). When he was asked how he felt, he said that he hadn't failed 10,000 times but had learned 10,000 things which didn't work. We must know that history is full of examples of men and women who achieved success although they failed many times. Losing is not very disgraceful. We must accept our failure and learn to take advantage of it. Remember that it can be helpful. Take action to walk out of it. When we lose, think about what we did and how we can improve. If someone else can help, we' ll be lucky enough. Maybe he or she has been through the same experience before. Many people enjoy helping others solve problems. This can save us a lot of time in learning how to avoid the same mistakes in the future. We should face our failure when we lose. There is only one winner in every competition. Some win, while some lose. That is a usual way of life. If we offer our congratulations to the winners and share in their happiness, we won't feel sorry for our failure. In a word, being a good loser will help us to succeed in life. It might be painful at the beginning, but there are many advantages. Good losers set examples to us, and most importantly, they finally win. 31. What can we learn from every failure according to the text? A. A way of life. B. A valuable thing. C. A general rule. D. A secret of success. 32. In the writer's eyes, why did Edison achieve success? A. He got help from others. B. He happened to make it. C. He avoided possible mistakes. D. He saw the bright side of losing. 33. What does the underlined word“disgraceful” probably mean? A. Bad. B. Personal. C. Dangerous. D. Interesting. 34. What does the writer advise the losers to do in a competition? 初四英语试题第5页(共11页) A. Express the regrets. B. Forget the failure. C. Share in the winners' enjoyment. D. Join in another competition. 35. What is the best title for the text? A. Ideas about How to Avoid Mistakes B. Experience in Dealing with Problems C. Advice on How to Be a Good Loser D. Advantages of both Success and Failure D Many of us have seen rainbows in the sky once the sun starts shining again after it rains. For us to see a rainbow, the conditions need to be just right. We need some water drops in the air, like rain or even fog, and we need the sun to be behind us and quite low to the ground. This is because a rainbow is created by light passing through water drops. The light that comes from the sun seems white to us. But the white light we see is made up of a mix of different colors. When the light goes through a raindrop, these colors can separate out. Each of the colors in the rainbow has a different“wavelength”(波长). Raindrops look like little balls. When light hits one of these little balls of water, the light can change direction. We call this“refraction”(折射). Each of the different wavelengths is refracted differently. If the light hits the raindrop at the right place, the refraction separates the wavelengths out into their different colors. We are taught there are seven colors: red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo and violet. But this isn't exactly true. Blue and green are next to each other in the rainbow, which is why we can see turquoise. Brown is a mix of red and green. But they aren't next to each other in the rainbow, so we don't see them mix to make brown. We would never see black and white in a rainbow. Black is what we see when there's no light at all. On the other hand, white is a mix of all the colors together. When light is refracted by raindrops, it separates the white light out, meaning it is no longer white. 36. Why can we see a rainbow under the right conditions? A. Because the raindrops are like little balls. B. Because the light goes through raindrops C. Because the sunshine seems to be colorful D. Because the weather is foggy after it rains 37. According to the passage, what can we know about the colors in the rainbow? A. They can become brown or black. B. There are only seven colors in all. C. They mix to make the white light. D. Their own places can be changed. 38. What does the word turquoise in paragraph 3 probably refer to? A. all the colours B. rain or even fog C. the white light D. a mix of blue and green 39. Which part of a magazine may this passage be taken from? A. Science. B. Health. C. Culture. D. Fashion. 初四英语试题第6页(共11页) 40. What is the passage mainly about? A. How are the colors received in the rainbow? B. When can the colors turn blue in the rainbow? C. Which colors aren't covered with light in the rainbow? D. Why can't we find white, black and brown in the rainbow? 三、阅读理解七选五 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。(10分) Everyone may have the influence of worries. 41 .
