When you think of Beijing, the beautiful green waters and hills of Beihai Park and the grand and beautiful Forbidden City will come to your mind.
In recent years, groups of modern buildings and specially designed plazas have appeared on Beijing’s streets. Standing in the street, you can feel how Beijing has changed. But foreigners still like to go to the hutongs.
The word hutong comes from the Mongolian language. Hutongs come to Beijing more than 700 years ago. As time passed, the hutongs have remained, and have become an important part of the essence of Beijing.
Many foreigners, when they come to Beijing from their far countries, will go directly to visit the hutongs after setting down. They sit in the courtyards, chatting with the native Beijingers about neighbors and their life. It seems that through their chatting, they can find the true meaning of Chinese family life.
Waving good-bye, they have to leave the hutongs, and say goodbye to the families with whom they have chatted happily. But they don’t feel like leaving. The hutongs have brought great enjoyment to them.
Although every country has it own special cultural background, economic situation and level and feelings are similar. The hutong is a cultural symbol of this city. And the families of the hutongs are also unforgettable.

【小題2】Where do the foreigners still like to go although Beijing has changed a lot?
【小題3】What do we know from the third paragraph ?
【小題4】將文中劃線部分譯成漢語

【小題3】The history of  the word hutong./ something about  the word hutong .
【小題4】似乎通過他們的聊天,他們能發(fā)現(xiàn)中國家庭生活的真實意義
【小題5】.D

為Beihai Park and Forbidden City.
【小題2】本文的第二段最后一句提到雖然北京發(fā)生了巨大的改變,但外國人仍然喜歡去胡同,故  
本題的答案為 They still like to go to the hutongs.
【小題3】本文第三段的主要含義是胡同一詞主要來自于蒙古語,700多年前傳到中國,胡同現(xiàn)今
仍然是北京的精髓之一,所以本段主要介紹的單詞胡同的歷史,故本題的答案為The history 
of the word hutong.
【小題4】it seems that可翻譯成似乎……的含義,through翻譯成通過的含義,the meaning of可翻譯成……的含義,故文中劃線的部分可翻譯成“似乎通過他們的聊天,他們能發(fā)現(xiàn)中國家庭生活的真實意義”。
【小題5】本文的最后一句含義是胡同的文化是一個城市的符號,胡同的家庭是讓人難以忘懷,故本題的最佳標題可以為胡同和家庭,故本題選D。
考點:接受胡同有關情況的說明文。
點評:本文主要介紹了胡同的歷史,胡同一詞的由來,以及外國人到北京來,在胡同里生活的有關內(nèi)容,主要強調(diào)胡同不僅是北京城的符號,而且能夠讓外國的游客在這里體會到家的感覺,閱讀本文應該以胡同為關鍵詞,通讀全篇,才能更好的理解本文。

“If you want to see a thing well, reach out and touch it!”
That may seem a strange thing to say. But touching things can help you to see them better. Your eyes can tell you that a glass ball is round. But by holding it in your hands, you can feel how smooth and cool the ball is. You can tell how heavy the glass it. When you feel all these about the ball, you really see it.
With your skin, you can feel better. For example, your fingers can tell the difference between two coins in your pockets. You can feel a little drop of water on the back of your hand, too. You can even feel sounds against your skin. Have you wanted to know why some people like very loud music? They must like to feel the sounds of music.
All children soon learn what “Don’t touch!” means. They hear it often. Yet most of us keep on touching things as we grow up. In shops, we touch things we might buy: food, clothes. To see something well, we have to touch it.
The bottom of our feet can feel things, too. You know this when you walk on warm sand, cool grass or a hard floor. All feel different under your feet.
There are ways of learning to see well by feeling. One way is to close your eyes and try to feel everything that is touching your skin. Feel the shoes on your feet, the clothes on your body, the air on your skin. At first, it is not easy to feel these things. You are too used to them.

Happiness is for everyone. You don't need to care about the rich. Though they have beautiful houses with large gardens and swimming pools, they may often feel lonely.
In fact, happiness is always around you if you put your heart into it. When you are in trouble at school, your teachers will help you; when you do something wrong, people around you feel unhappy; when you succeed in something, your friends will say congratulations to you. All these are your happiness. If you notice a bit of them, you can see that happiness is always around you.
Happiness is not the same as money. It is a feeling(感覺) of your heart. Although you are poor, you can also say you are very happy. Money is not everything. You have something else that money can't buy. When you meet with difficulties, you can loudly say you are very happy because you have more chances to challenge(挑戰(zhàn)) yourself.

科目:初中英語 來源:2011年四川省瀘州市中考英語試卷(解析版) 題型:閱讀理解

Cars are lots of fun, but they could also be dangerous. We have to be careful when we drive them or ride in them.
It's always a good idea to put on your seat belt when you're in a car. Why? Think about this example: You put an egg on a skateboard and give it a push. If the skateboard hits a stone, it will stop, but the egg won't. It will fly through the air, hit the ground and break.
Now, think what would happen if you tied the egg to the skateboard. When the skateboard hits a stone, the egg won't go flying; it will stay safely on the skateboard.
Volvo, a famous Swedish carmaker, was the first to use seat belts in 1849.
Air bags are also very important for car safety, because sometimes a seat belt isn't enough. If the car is going really fast and runs into something, seat belts could even hurt the people who wear them. Most new cars have air bags in front of and next to the seats. When a car hits something, its air bags will come out quickly in less than one second to keep the people inside safe.

A.tell us that eggs are easy to break

【小題3】Seat belts can make us safer because .

【小題4】Air bags are important for cars because _.
A.they are made of plastic
B.they can also help us to keep safe in a car
