Passage 3
(2009中考变式题)阅读短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳答案。(10分)
If you live in the United States, the law says you can't have a full-time job until you are 16 years old. At 14 or 15, you can work part-time after school or on weekends, and during summer you can work 40 hours each week. Does all that mean that if you are younger than 14, you can't earn(赚) your own money? Of course not! Kids who are between the ages of 10 and 13 can earn money by doing lots of things.
Valerie, 11, told us that she made money by cleaning up other people's yards. Lena, 13, makes money by knitting(织) dog sweaters and selling them to her neighbors, and Reisa said she had started taking art classes and showing her work to people. People have asked her to draw pictures for them and they pay her for them. Jasmine, 13, writes articles for different magazines!
Earning is learning. By working to earn your own money, you are learning the skills you will need to succeed in life. These skills can include things like getting along with others, using technology(技术) and using your time. Some people think that asking for money is a lot easier than earning it; however, when you make your own money, you don't have to depend on someone else. The five dollars that you earn will probably make you feel a lot better in your hand than the twenty dollars you ask for.
1.Kids can have full-time jobs at the age of ________ in the USA.
A.17 B.14 C.13 D.10
2.If you are 15 years old, you can't work ________.
A.after school B.on weekends
C.during summer D.on weekdays
3.Reisa makes money by ________.
A.cleaning up other people's yards
B.drawing pictures for others
C.writing articles for different magazines
D.knitting dog sweaters and selling them to her neighbors
4.According to the passage, which of the following is Not True?
A.You are learning how to succeed by working in your teens.
B.Kids are encouraged to live independently in the USA.
C.Earning one's money is better than asking for money from others.
D.Kids don't need to get along with others when making money.
5.From the passage we know that ________.
A.parents won't let their children earn their own money
B.it's hard for kids under 14 years old to earn money in the USA
C.kids can learn skills if they try to earn money on their own
D.if kids try to earn money, they won't have enough time to study

Warren Buffett
For someone who is such a successful investor, Warren Buffett comes off as a pretty ordinary guy. He was born on August 30, 1930. __71__ He used to go doortodoor and sell soda water. When his family moved to Washington, Buffett became a paperboy for The Washington Post. Buffett ran his five paper routes and even added magazines to round out his product offerings. While still in school, he was making$ 175 a month, a fulltime wage for many men.
__72__ He spent $ 1,200 on 40 acres of farmland in Nebraska. He and a friend also made $ 50 a week by placing pinball machines in barber shops. They called their venture(企业) Wilson Coin Operated Machine Co.
Already a successful smalltime businessman, Buffett wasn't interested in going to college but ended up at the University of Pennsylvania—his father encouraged him to go. __73__ But he was turned down, which had to be one of the worst admission
decisions in Harvard history. The outcome affected Buffett's life, for he ended up attending Columbia Business School, where he studied under Professor Benjamin Graham the father of securities analysis who provided the foundation (基础) for Buffett's investment strategy.
From the beginning, Buffett made his fortune from investing. He started with all the money he had made from selling soda
water, delivering papers, and operating pinball machines. Between 1950 and 1956, he grew his $ 9,800 to $ 14,000. __74__ And then he gradually drew in other investors through word of mouth and very attractive terms.
__75__ He doesn't collect houses or cars or works of art, and he disdains(鄙视) companies that waste money on expensive cars, private dining rooms, and highpriced real villas. He is a creature of habit—same house, same office, same city, same soda water.
A. Then Buffett applied to Harvard Business School.
B. Buffett is more likely to be found in a fourstar restaurant.
C.When he was 14, Buffett developed great interest in investment.
D.Even as a young child, Buffett was serious about making money.
E. One thing is for sure about Buffett: he is happy to do what he is doing.
F. Buffett's investment strategy mirrors his lifestyle and his overall philosophy.
G. From there, he organized investment partnerships with his family and friends.

Most kids suffer from the common cold up to 10 times a year.Right now,there is no known cure for sniffles,sneezes,and coughs. But help could be on the way.Scientists recently announced they have made some progress in finding a cure for the common
cold.The rhinovirus (rhino is Greek for “nose”) causes more than 50 percent of most colds.A team of researchers from around the United States has decoded (解码) the 99 known strains,or types,of rhinovirus.
It turns out the virus that causes a simple cold is much more complicated than researchers once thought.Scientists have determined that you can have two separate strains of rhinovirus at the same time.Those strains can work together.The viruses can move their genetic material slowly inside your body.And if that happens,a whole new strain of virus gets created.
The rhinovirus’s ability to change like that makes one person’s cold different from another person’s.Therefore,it’s very difficult to develop an effective vaccine (疫苗) to fight it.But this new research does open the door for developing more effective ways to treat colds once a person has one.“We may have to have four or five drugs,and you’d need a test at your doctor’s office to know which drug will work.We are now quite certain that a very effective treatment for the common cold is at hand,” said Dr. Stephen
B.Liggett,an author of the rhinovirus study.
Liggett also hopes that finding a way to fight rhinovirus will help people who suffer from asthma (哮喘).Common colds set off more than 50 percent of asthma attacks.So if colds can be cut short,then a major cause of asthma attacks is gone too.
But don’t put away the chicken soup just yet. There’s still lots of testing and development to be done before any of these cold “cures” can be available to the public.Drug development and government approval can take many years.So,for now,just keep washing your hands and get plenty of rest.Doctors say that’s the best way to stay away from the sniffles.
1.The third paragraph is mainly about ________.
A.how the coldcauser works and how it is created
B.how scientists devote their efforts to the cold research
C.what remains to be done in dealing with the common cold
D.why children suffer from the common cold so often
2.Why is it difficult to develop an effective vaccine to fight the common cold?
A.Because medical technology isn’t advanced enough.
B.Because no two colds are caused by exactly the same strain of virus.
C.Because it’s not worth developing a vaccine for the common cold.
D.Because many drugs for the common cold have already been invented.
3.What does the underlined sentence imply?
A.Never throw away the chicken soup while you are eating chickens.
B.Don’t think that drinking chicken soup is an effective way to prevent colds.
C.Don’t take it for granted that these cold “cures” can be put into clinical practiceimmediately.
D.Don’t drink any chicken soup before you get recovered from a cold.
4.Which statement is NOT true according to the passage?
A.Most of colds are caused by the rhinovirus.
B.Scientists had thought the cold viruses are far more complicated than facts.
C.Over half of asthma attacks are related to common colds.
D.An effective cure for the common cold is about to be found.
5.Which of the following could be the best title for the passage?
A.Protect Your Kids from the Common Cold
B.You Only Do It by Nature If You Catch a Cold
C.Scientists Make Progress in Curing the Common Cold
D.Useful Tips for You to Stay away from the Sniffles

(201*·河南部分重点联考)
Most Americans would have a difficult time telling you, specifically, what are the values which Americans live by. They have never given the matter any thought.
Over the years I have introduced thousands of international visitors to life in the United States. This has caused me to try to look at Americans through the eyes of foreign visitors. I am confident that the values listed in this booklet describe most (but not all )Americans, and that understanding these values can help you, the international visitor, understand Americans.
It is my belief that if foreign visitors really understand how deeply these 13 values are ingrained in Americans, they will then be able to understand 95% of American actions—actions which might otherwise appear “strange”, “confusing”, or “unbelievable” when evaluated from the perspective (aspect) of the foreigner's own society and its values.
The different behaviors of a people or a culture make sense only when seen through the basic beliefs, assumptions and values of that particular group. When you encounter (meet) an action, or hear a statement in the United States which surprises you, try to see it as an expression of one or more of the values listed in this booklet.
1. An ordinary American can't tell you his/her value system because ________.
A. this is something an American lives by
B. everyone will have his/her own value system
C. he/she has never thought about it
D. values are something often in their thought
2. The author lists 13 values in his booklet to ________.
A. invite foreigners to visit America
B. look at Americans through the eyes of foreign visitors
C. describe the confusing actions of most Americans
D. help international visitors understand Americans
3. The underlined word “ingrained” in Line 2, Paragraph 3 most probably means “________”.
A. rooted in the minds
B. found in the grains
C. planted for food
D. prepared with grain
4. Visitors sometimes find Americans behave in a strange, confusing or unbelievable way, probably because ______.
A. Americans are hard to understand
B. Americans have values which are entirely different from their own
C. they view Americans according to the values in their own society
D. it is difficult to understand any people when you first encounter them
答案与解析:
本文是一本书的序言。作者观察到,很多外国游客对美国人的行为举止觉得很奇怪,而这是因为他们不了解美国人的价值观。于是作者写了一本小册子介绍这些价值观。了解了这些东西,人们就不会觉得美国人的行为“怪异、不可思议”了。
1.C 细节理解题。第一段说,美国人很难告诉你他们奉行的价值观是什么,因为他们从来没有想过这个问题。
2.D 推理判断题。由第二、三段的内容可知作者列出美国人的13条价值观是为了帮助外国游客理解美国人的行为举止
3.A 词义猜测题。结合上下文内容可知这13条是美国人从来不加考虑而奉行的价值观,因此这些是深深地扎根于美国人的大脑中的东西,画线词的含义应该是A项。
4.C 推理判断题。第三段说假如外国游客从自己的文化价值观的角度去看美国人的行为,他们就会觉得美国人的行为表现“怪异,让人看不懂,难以相信”,由此可知选C项。
