Look in the bedrooms of young people in the world. Maybe you will find a pair of blue jeans in each room. Jeans are very popular all over the world.

 Jeans give you the feeling of comfort(舒適), youth(青春)and energy(活力). Every person likes them very much.

 Levi Strauss is an American company. It first made blue jeans. The company was founded(建立) in 1853 by 24-year-old Levi Strauss. Twenty years later, he made first blue jeans in the world. The jeans were used as working trousers for the cowboys(牛仔) of American West. During the Second World War, American soldiers brought blue jeans to Europe and Asia. People there began to wear jeans. Little by little, they become cool.

 People from different countries like different styles of jeans. Americans like to wear simple and single-colored jeans, but many Chinese people like to wear jeans with lots of different colors.

 Now we can see jeans everywhere. However, in many places, it’s not always good to wear jeans. No matter how good they may look, or what color they are, it’s often not right to wear jeans in formal(正式的) places. But when you are out, relaxing or having fun, jeans are the best choices.

  Look at your watch for just one minute. During that time in 1981, 239 babies were born in the world. Perhaps you think that isn’t much. In the next hour, over 14,000 more babies will be born on the earth. Just think how many more babies there will be born in one year. If this goes hour after hour, what will happen in a hundred years?

  The population problem may be the greatest one of the world today. Two thousand years ago, there were only 250 million people on the earth. Four hundred years ago, the number was over 500 million. The population may be 8,000 million by the year 2000.

  In China, the population problem is quite great, too. The Party’s leaders are paying much attention to it, but lots of people don’t think so. They like to do what they want. Some love more children. Some wish to have both son and daughter. Other would like to have not only daughters but also sons. Haven’t they ever thought the population problem? If nothing is done to stop this, things will get worse and worse. The figure of the world’s population will certainly be a terrible one. There will be only standing room on the earth some day.

科目:初中英語 來源:2011年山東省青島市中考英語試卷 題型:閱讀理解

Perhaps the only test score that I remember is the 55 when I was in high school.
The test was the final for a course. I remember waiting anxiously as my teacher Mr. Right passed out our papers one by one. It was a rather difficult test. I heard my classmates groaning, and I could tel by the groans that the scores weren’t looking good.
Mr. Right put my paper on my desk. There in big red numbers, circled to draw attention, was my score, 55!
I lowered my head, and covered the score up quickly. A 55 is not something that you wanted your classmates to see.“The scores were not very good, none of you passed,”Mr. Right said. “The highest score in the class was a 55.”
A 55. That’s me!
Suddenly my sad look didn’t look so bad. I had the highest score. I felt a lot better.
I walked home alone that day with the low but high score. My father knew that I had a big test that day and asked me as soon as I got home, “How did you do in your test?”“I made a 55,”I said.
A frown(皺眉)now stood on my father’s face. I knew I had to explain immediately. “But Dad, I had the highest score in the calss,”I proudly stated. I thought that explanation would make a difference.“You failed!”my father replied.“But it’s the highest!” I insisted.“I don’t care what scores others had, but you failed. What matters is what you do!”my father firmly said.
For years, my father was always that way. It didn’t matter what others did, it only mattered what I did and that I did it excelently.
We often don’t understand the wisdom(智慧)of good parents until we ourselves stand in the parents’shoes. My father’s words have carried me throughout life.
【小題1】 The word groaning is the closest in meaning to _____.

A.singingB.laughingC.complainingD.quarreling
【小題2】 In class, to hide my score from my classmates, I _____.
A.lowered my headB.covered my score up
C.walked home aloneD.explained immediately
【小題3】 A frown stood on my father’s face because he thought _____.
A.I did a bad job in the test
B.I gave a good excuse
C.I became the worst student
D.I stood in his shoes
【小題4】 We can infer from the passage that _____.
A.the father was strict with his child.
B.the writer was always poor in tests.
C.Mr. Right was worried about the writer
D.the writer was always happy with his scores
【小題5】 Which is the best title of the passage?
