One night I was driving from Harrisburg to Lewisburg, a distance of eighty miles. I was late soＩ

drove very 36 . Several times I got stuck behind a slow-moving truck on a narrow road，and I

was shouting and 37 the steering wheel (方向盘) with impatience．

At one point along an open highway，I came to a crossroads with a traffic light．I was alone on the

road，but as I got 38 the light，it turned red and I stopped．I looked left，right and behind

structure of our society depends on trust．This whole thing we have going for us would fall apart if

we didn’t trust each other most of the time．We do 45 we say we’ll do；and we pay when we

say we’ll pay．We trust each other in these matters，and when we don’t do what we’ve 46 ，

I was born in Ireland and lived there until I was nineteen years old. I came to New York in

1956. At first, I held several jobs to earn a few dollars. Later, to live a better life, I bought my own

taxi car. Till now, I've been in the taxi car business for thirty-five years. I know there is a lot about

taxi drivers that is not so good. Because of this, people get the wrong impression（印象） that they

are bad.

In fact, taxi drivers are just like other honest people. You can read in the papers almost every week

where a taxi driver turns in money or jewels people leave in their cars. One time in Brooklyn, I

found a ring in my car. I remembered helping a lady with a lot of bags that day, so I went back to

北京市海淀区2010年中考一模英语试卷

the store where I had dropped her off. It took me almost two days to look for her in order to return the ring. I didn't get as much as ―Thank you.‖ Still, I felt good because I had done what was right. In all my years of driving a taxi car, I have never had any trouble with the public because I always try to be nice to everyone. I try to be honest toward others. I have been trying this for a long time, and the longer I try, the easier it gets.

I believe honesty is one of the greatest gifts there is. It’s something that makes a man a good guy. This is also my way to live by.

52. The writer came to New York ______.

A. for 35 years B. for 54 years

C. in 1956 D. since he was 19

53. The writer found ______ in his car in Brooklyn.

A. a bag B. a ring C. some money D. some jewels

54. _____ is the most important according to the passage.

A. Kindness B. Experience C. Money D. Honesty

C

Younger adults who get either little sleep or a lot of it may see a greater increase in their waistlines(腰围) over time, a study suggests.

The study included 332 African-American and 775 Hispanic-American (拉丁裔美国人) men and women aged 18 to 81. The researchers measured their abdominal (腹部的) fat, at the start of the study and again five years later.

Among the people younger than 40 in the research, the study found, those who said they slept for five hours or less each night gained more fat than those who averaged six or seven hours of sleep. Those who slept eight hours or more in bed each night also showed a bigger fat gain - but it was not as much as that seen in "short sleepers."

The findings, according to the lead researcher Dr. Kristen, support the belief that sleep habits affect weight, and health in general. "Sleep is an important part of your overall health -- not just in whether you're tired during the day," she said.

As for why sleep time might affect abdominal-fat gain, there are several facts:

People who get too little sleep may be too tired during the day to exercise, while those who spend a lot of time in bed may spend less time being active, comparing to people who sleep fewer hours. Research also suggests that sleep loss changes people's appetite-regulating hormones（胃口调节荷尔蒙）-- which could, in theory, make them overeat.

What’s more, depression, which is a feeling of sadness that makes people think there is no hope for the future, could also be a reason. He also noted that it often affects people's sleep and has been linked to weight gain.

55. ______ will get less fat gain according to the passage.

A. Younger adults who sleep for five hours or less

B. People who sleep more than 8 hours every day

C. Younger adults who are from Africa or America

D. People who sleep about six or seven hours a day

56. The underlined word ―that‖ refers to ______.

A. a fat gain B. sleep habits

C. too little sleep D. too much sleep

北京市海淀区2010年中考一模英语试卷

57. What can we learn from the passage?

A. The more we sleep, the more energetic we will be.

B. The less we sleep every day, the less fat we will get.

C. Those who are in sadness could easily get a bigger fat gain.

D. The African and Hispanic adults easily get a greater weight gain.

D

A friend of mine asked me the question, ―Who said life was going to be fair, or that it was even meant to be fair?‖ Her question was a good one. It reminded me of something I was taught as a youngster: Life isn’t fair. It’s a bummer, but it’s absolutely true. One of the mistakes many of us make is that we feel sorry for ourselves, or for others, thinking that life should be fair, or that someday it will be. It’s not and it won’t.

One of the nice things about surrendering (承认) to the fact that life isn’t fair is that it keeps us from feeling sorry for ourselves by encouraging us to do the very best we can with what we have. We know it’s not ―life’s job‖ to make everything perfect, it’s our own challenge. Surrendering to this fact also keeps us from feeling sorry for others because we are reminded that everyone is dealt a different hand; everyone has his own strengths and problems in the process of growing up, facing the reality and making decisions; and everyone has those times that they feel cheated or unfairly treated.

The fact that life isn’t fair doesn’t mean we shouldn’t do everything in our power to improve our own lives or the world as a whole. Instead, it suggests that we should. When we don’t recognize or admit that life isn’t fair, we tend to feel pity for others and for ourselves. Pity is a self-defeating (自我挫败的) emotion that does nothing for anyone, except to make everyone feel worse than they already do. When we do recognize that life isn’t fair, however, we feel compassion (同情) for others and for ourselves. And compassion is a heartfelt emotion that delivers loving-kindness to everyone it touches. The next time you find yourself thinking about the unfair world, try reminding yourself of this very basic fact. You may be surprised that it can push you out of self-pity and into helpful action.

58. The word ―a bummer‖ in the first paragraph probably means ______.

A. a chance B. a disappointment

C. a choice D. an embarrassment

59. Which statement is TRUE according to the passage?

A. We cannot just feel sorry, but take actions.

B. We may feel worse when we realize the unfairness.

C. Life will become fair someday through our great efforts.

D. Pity is a self-defeating emotion delivering loving-kindness.

60. The best title for the passage is _____.

A. Push You out of Self-pity

B. Face the Problems in Your Life

C. Encourage Yourself to Do the Best

D. Surrender to the Fact that Life isn’t Fair

On March 27, Saturday evening, people all over the world once again turned their lights off for an hour to help fight against global climate changes and give the world a brighter future.

For Earth Hour 2010, many best known buildings went dark from 8:30 to 9:30 local time, such as the Eiffel Tower, Big Ben, Sydney's Opera House and Beijing's Forbidden City, etc. Millions of businesses and homes around the world also turned off their lights.

Some 4,000 cities in more than 120 countries volunteered to turn off Saturday to reduce energy consumption（能量消耗）. "We have everyone from Casablanca to the camps of Namibia and Tanzania taking part," said Greg Bourne, CEO of WWF (World Wildlife Fund) in Australia, which started Earth Hour.

Earth Hour began in Sydney, Australia, in 2007. In 2008, the event turned into an international one, which has drawn the participation of hundreds of towns and cities worldwide. Now in its fourth year, more and more cities from the world took part in Earth Hour as a show of support for action against global warming.

In a WWF survey suggested after Earth Hour 2009, 80 million U.S. citizens said they had participated, according to Ann. "Earth Hour has always been an event about families and individuals as well," Ann said, "and it's really about Americans and people all over the world standing up and saying climate change is real and we need to do something about it now."

However, Earth Hour's energy-saving influence is limited. But WWF says that Earth Hour's real value is symbolic（象征的）.

Dear Lucy,

北京市海淀区2010年中考一模英语试卷

How time flies! I will graduate from middle school in a month. I’m eager to share my happiness and sadness with you. Thinking back, I always remembered the moving moment. One day, when I stepped into the classroom, my classmate told me that Mr. Sun, our math teacher, couldn’t come to school because of a terrible traffic accident. I was so worried about him that I went to the

hospital to visit him. Although he got badly hurt, he smiled to me as usual. Such a beautiful smile made me warm and moved.

Mr. Sun is the teacher who not only gives me knowledge but also encourages me

to be positive all the time. I will never forget his smiles.

Would you like to tell me some of your unforgettable experiences?

Yours,

Li Fang
