　　中考英語閱讀理解練習(xí)題：Cool

　　“Cool” is a word with many meanings. Its old meaning is used to express a temperature that is a little bit cold. As the world has changed, the word has had many different meanings. “Cool” can be used to express feelings of interest in almost anything.

　　When you see a famous car in the street, maybe you will say, “It’s cool.” You may think, “He’s so cool,” when you see your favourite footballer. We all maximize (擴(kuò)大) the meaning of “cool”. You can use it instead of many words such as “new” or “surprising”. Here’s an interesting story we can use to show the way the word is used. A teacher asked her students to write about the waterfall (瀑布) they had visited. On one student’s paper was just the one sentence, “It’s so cool.” Maybe he thought it was the best way to show what he saw and felt.

　　But the story also shows a scarcity(缺乏) of words. Without “cool”, some people have no words to show the same meaning. So it is quite important to keep some credibility(可信性). Can you think of many other words that make your life as colourful as the word “cool”? I can. And I think they are also very cool.

　　A. only one meaning B. no meanings C. many different meanings D. the same meaning

中考英語閱讀理解練習(xí)題：willow branch

　　In 1605, a scientist took a willow branch(柳枝) and planted it. He didn’t plant it in the ground, however. He planted it in a vase of soil(泥土). For the next five years, the scientist watered that willow carefully.

　　The willow grew and grew. Where did it get the food for its growth? To most people, this was an easy question. The willow plant, of course, took the food from the soil.

　　The scientist, however, wanted evidence(證據(jù)).If the willow took the food from the soil for its growth, then, as it grew and weighed more, the soil ought to weigh less. He weighed the willow branch before he planted it. It weighed five pounds. Then he weighed the soil. It weighed 200 pounds. After five years, he weighed the plant and the soil again. The willow tree weighed 169 pounds, but the soil weighed almost the same.

　　The result(結(jié)果) was surprising. Where did the 164 pounds come from?

　　After many investigations(調(diào)查), the scientist got the answer. He had given water to the willow, and the willow got its food from the water.

　　He was right, in a way. Today we know more about the question.

　　1. The scientist did the experiment in the sixteenth century.

　　2. Most people thought the plant got the food from the soil for its growth.

　　3. The soil in the vase weighed two hundred pounds.

　　4. The scientist found that the willow grew and weighed more and the soil weighed less.

　　5. The soil weighed 164 pounds after five years.

　　6. Now we know about the question as much as the scientist did.
