【牛刀小试】

（选自2016中考模拟题中的阅读理解）。阅读下列短文，从每小题所给的选项中选出最佳选项。 Scientists have tried to come up with biological explanations for the difference between boys and girls.

However, none were believable enough to explain the general picture. As one scientist points out, “There are slight genetic (遗传的) differences between the sexes (性别) at birth. They may affect the subjects boys and girls choose. But the difficulty is that by the time children reach school age, there are so many other effects that it is almost impossible to tell whether girls are worse at science and maths, or whether they’ve been brought up to think of these subjects as boys’ “territory”.www.21-cn-jy.com

Statistics (统计数据) show that in mathematics, at least, girls are equal to boys. A recent report suggests that girls only stop studying mathematics because of social attitudes (态度). One of the reports’ authors says, “While it is socially unacceptable for people not to be able to read and write, it is still acceptable for women to say that they are ‘hopeless’ at maths. Our research shows that, although girls get marks which are as good as the boys’, they have not been encouraged to do so.”21*cnjy*com

The explanation for the difference, which is very clear during the teenage years, goes as far back as early childhood experiences. From their first days in nursery school (幼儿园), girls are not encouraged to work on their own or to complete tasks, although boys are. For example, boys but not girls, are often asked to ‘help’ with repair work. This encouragement leads to a way of learning how to solve problems later on in life. Evidence shows that excellent mathematicians and scientists did not have teachers who provided answers; they had to find out for themselves. A further report on maths teaching shows that teachers seem to give more attention to boys than to girls. Most teachers who took part in the study admitted that they expect their male students to do better at mathematics and science subjects than their female students. All of this tends to encourage boys to work harder in these subjects, gives them confidence and makes them believe that they can succeed.【出处：21教育名师】

Interestingly, both boys and girls tend to regard such ‘male’ subjects like mathematics and science as difficult. Yet it has been suggested that girls avoid mathematics courses, not because they are difficult, but for social reasons. Mathematics and science are mainly male subjects, and therefore, as girls become teenagers, they are less likely to take them up. Girls do not seem to want to be in open competition with boys. Neither do they want to do better than boys because they are afraid to appear less female and so, less attractive.【版权所有：21教育】 1. The underlined word “territory” in the second paragraph most probably means “ _______”.

【2016中考模拟】阅读下列材料，从A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳的答案。 【根据杭州启正中学九年你期初试卷C篇阅读改编】

Nowadays people care little about their health and refuse to go to the doctor’s for a check regularly. They say that time doesn’t permit them to do this or just because they feel OK. The only moment they go to the doctor is when they really feel sick or they find the medicine doesn’t work. And they don’t have another choice but to ask for help from doctors.21世纪教育网版权所有

The result of this is that some people may discover they have a very dangerous disease which is hard to cure. Then, others refuse to see the doctor from the first moment they feel sick because they prefer to take some medicine instead, while they don’t consider the possible negative effects and don’t know the real cause of their disease. That’s why they go to the doctor in the last moment.

But the best way to avoid this is that we should think that prevention is better than cure. And how can we manage

to do this? Well, just think that your health is the most important. Therefore, choose to see a doctor at least once every three months. Especially, don’t leave time to pass when you feel bad. Besides government should also organize a series of activities to enhance（加强）the health consciousness(意识) in the society.

Then, our physical activity should be on the way, such as trying to go jogging at least twice a week or choosing to go to a gym. This helps our body have more energy. In a word, these are some ways we can do to prevent some illnesses. People should think seriously about this and learn to protect our life.

中考英语阅读理解****吓人的惩罚

Little Tommy was doing very badly in math. His parents had tried everything—tutors (家庭教师), cards, special learning centers—in short, everything they could think of. Finally they took Tommy to a catholic (天主教的) school. After the first day, little Tommy came home with a very serious look on his face. He didn’t kiss his mother hello. Instead, he went straight to his room and started studying. Books and papers were spread (铺开) out all over the room and little Tommy was hard at work. His mother was surprised. She called him down to dinner and as soon as he finished eating, he went back to his room, without a word. In no time he was back hitting the books as hard as before. This went on for some time, day after day while the mother tried to understand what was happening.

Finally, little Tommy brought home his report card. He quietly put it on the table and went up to his room and hit the books. His mom looked at it and to her surprise, little Tommy got an A in math. She could no longer hold her curiosity (好奇心). She went to his room and asked, “Son, what was it? Was it the nuns (修女)?” Little Tommy looked at her and shook his head, “No.” “Well then,” she asked again. “WHAT was it?”

Little Tommy looked at her and said, “Well, on the first day of school, when I saw that man nailed (钉) to the plus sign (加号), I knew they weren’t joking.”

◆根据以上短文内容，然后从每题所给的四个选项中选择最佳选项。 1. Why did Tommy’s parents send him to a catholic school? A. Because he could eat well there.
