中考英语词汇运用专项练习
第一部分 阅读与词汇
1. Chopsticks
Chopsticks are an ancient way of eating food, and even though they were developed some 5,000 years ago in China, the tradition is still alive around the modern world. There are many reasons for using chopsticks, but probably they developed because using two sticks of wood allows one to get close enough to get the food out of a pot (锅) without burning themselves.
Although forks and knives and other pointed tools have been introduced to China over the years, chopsticks have remained the main way to eat food. Chopsticks are mostly made from wood, with bamboo being the most widely used. Foreigners like to buy silk chopsticks as gifts.
The Chinese people usually eat from a bowl or small plate They use chopsticks to eat noodles and rice, but Koreans(韩国人)eat their rice with a spoon.
【汉语翻译】
筷子
筷子(chopsticks)是一种古老的吃饭工具。尽管(even though)筷子是五千多年前在中国发展起来的，这个传统在当今世界依然是方兴未艾。使用筷子有很多原因，但筷子的兴起很可能是由于用两根木制的棍(stick)可以使人在距离锅足够近的地方，把食物从锅里取出来而不会烫伤(burn)自己。
这些年来，尽管刀叉(knife and fork)和其他带尖的工具已经传入(introduce)中国，筷子却仍然是主要的(main)吃饭方式。
筷子大部分是木制的，竹子(bamboo)应用的最广泛。外国人(foreigner)喜欢购买丝绸(silk)筷子当作礼物。
中国人通常利用碗(bowl)或小盘子吃饭。他们使用筷子吃面条(noodles)和米饭，但韩国人用汤匙(spoon)吃米饭。
2. Beijing Zoo
Beijing Zoo has many animals such as the giant (巨大的) panda and the golden monkey, and also has the animals from all over the world——elephant, camel, giraffe, tiger, lion, zebra, etc.
Beijing Zoo covers an area of more than 50,000 square meters and there are more than 30 large halls. It is also a famous center of zoological(动物的) research.
Recently, a new form of ticketing has been introduced at Beijing Zoo——a CD-like ticket. There is music and video of the animals in it. You can read it through your computer or V player. There is also an important message on the CD: we should all help protect the environment where we live.
【汉语翻译】
北京动物园
北京动物园(zoo)有很多动物，如大熊猫(panda)和金丝猴(golden monkey)，也有许多来自世界各地的动物——大象、骆驼（camel）、长颈鹿、老虎(tiger)、狮子、斑马(zebra)等。
北京动物园占地50000平方米(square meters)，有30多个场馆。北京动物园也是著名的动物学研究中心(research center)。
最近，北京动物园引进一种新形式(form)的票——一种光盘式的票。光盘里面有音乐和这些动物的视频(video)。你可以通过电脑或影碟(V)播放器来阅读这些信息。这张光盘里还有一条重要短信：我们都应该保护我们的居住环境(environment)
3. Coke
If you have too much coke, sugar, and chocolate, you'll be easily getting fat. Now I'd like to talk about coke.
Coke is a soft drink. It has many advantages but on the other hand many disadvantages which lead to health problems.
There are plenty of sugar added to give the coke more taste and energy and while energy can be good, too much of it can increase health risks.
But it looks as if coke will still remain number one when it comes to soft drinks but please remember that if you have health problems then do not drink it, if not, coke still remains a favorite, and drink it sometimes!
【汉语翻译】
可乐
如果你喝太多可乐(coke)、食用太多糖(sugar)和巧克力，你会很容易发胖。现在我想谈谈可乐。
可乐是一种软饮料(soft drink)。它有很多好处(advantage)，但另一方面也有很多不利之处(disadvantage)，可以导致(lead to)健康问题。
可乐里添加了相当多的糖让可乐味道更好并提供更多能量，虽然能量是好的，但过多会增加(increase)健康风险。
但说到软饮料，看起来好像（it looks as if）可乐仍是排名第一，但请记住如果你有健康问题，那么不要喝它，如果没有，可乐仍可作为喜爱之物，可以偶尔饮之。
4. Strawberry and Watermelon Juice
Finding pleasant ways to eat more fruit is one of the secrets of losing weight successfully.

This juice is lovely served for breakfast with our strawberry and orange pancakes. Put l/2 cup of strawberries and 2 cups of watermelon together, and serve immediately in your favorite glass.
【汉语翻译】
草莓西瓜果汁
找到吃更多水果的快乐方式是成功减肥的一个秘诀。
因为草莓(strawberry)和西瓜(watermelon)放在一起时味道很好，这个草莓西瓜果汁(juice)是帮助我们实现(achieve)减肥目标的好方式。
这种果汁配上草莓和橘子薄饼(pancake)，那可是一顿美味的早餐了。放入1/2杯的草莓和2杯西瓜搅拌，装入你最喜欢的玻璃杯里，就立刻端上来吧。
5. Don't Pay the Cost
All kinds of vehicles——buses, coaches, cars and motorcycles, come and go every day. But it seems that we think the road is ours! The drivers may be a boss or a high-level worker, but will not care about the rules of road.
We feel proud that we've got our driving license, but we must drive safely. It is wise to follow many rules and laws. You must know what traffic lights and signs(标记) mean. You must know where and when you can park . Also use common sense and politeness. Be careful and enjoy the drive!
Never pay the cost of your and your family's safety along with the safety of other people on the road. Please set an example to your kids and others.
【汉语翻译】
不要付出这种代价
各种车辆(vehicle)---公交车、长途汽车(coach)、轿车以及摩托车(motorcycle)，每天来来往往。但看样子似乎我们认为公路是我们的！这些驾驶员可能是老板或是高水平的(high-level)工人(worker)，却不在乎交通规则。
我们得到了驾照(driving license)觉得很骄傲，但我们必须安全驾驶。遵守众多规章和法律是明智的(wise)。你必须要知道交通灯(traffic lights)和标识的含义。你必须要知道你在何时何地停车(park)。此外，运用常识，要有礼貌。要小心并享受驾驶！
决不要付出你和你家人的安全以及公路上其他人安全的代价。请为你的孩子以及其他人树立一个榜样(example)。
6. Iron and Steel
The iron and steel industry is an important basic industry of the national economy(经济). Modern life depends greatly on iron, the most widely used of all metals, usually in the form of steel. It is needed to carry out even the simplest daily tasks.
【汉语翻译】
钢铁
钢铁(iron and steel)工业(industry)是国家(national)经济中一个重要的基础产业(basic industry)。现代生活很大程度上依靠(depend on)铁，它是所有金属中应用最广泛的，通常以钢的形式出现。即使是执行(carry out) 一些最简单的日常任务(task)也需要铁。
7. Time Never Returns
Small machines have been invented to measure(测量) time. They are clocks and watches. The invention was a great success.
Today almost everyone wears a watch on his arm to tell the time. Same watches also tell the date. Men, women and children wear them. Now good watches are almostcompletely correct. Repairs and oiling are seldom necessary.
A clock wakes us. The clock at the office records the time we arrive at work, and the one in the kitchen tells us when dinner is ready. We try to be on time forconferences, we try to save time for important things and not to waste time on stupid things, and we pay for time to park on a busy street. People often say that time is money . Truly we can create wealth by using time in a proper way.
Time passes rapidly, and it never returns. We want to be always young, but that's impossible. That is the magic of time.We can't catch time. Time isdifficult to control and easy to waste. In fact, time is dangerous. If we don’t control it, it will control us. So we must become the master of time, not its servant.
Time is fair to everyone. Let's make good use of our time! Never put off until tomorrow what can be done today.
【汉语翻译】
时间永不复返
人们已经发明(invent)测量时间的小机器(machine)。它们是钟表(clock)和手表。这项发明是一个伟大的成功。
如今几乎每个人都在胳膊上戴着一块手表来看时间，有些也可看日期(date)。男女老少都戴手表。现在好的手表几乎是完全准确的(completely correct)，很少需要修理(repair)或上油。
钟表可以叫醒我们。办公室的钟表记录我们上班时到达的时间，厨房的钟表告诉我们什么时间饭做好了。我们尽力及时参加会议(conference)，我们尽力为重要事情节省时间而不把时间浪费(waste)在愚蠢的事情上，在繁忙的街道我们为停车的时间付费。人们常说“时间就是金钱”。确实我们可以通过合理利用时间而创造财富(create wealth)。
时间快速地(rapidly)逝去，永不复返。我们想要永远年轻，但那是不可能的，这就是时间的魅力(magic)。我们无法抓住时间。控制(control)时间是困难的(difficult)，但浪费时间很容易。实际上，时间是危险的。如果我们不去控制时间，它将控制我们。因此我们必须成为时间的主人(master)而不是它的仆人(servant)。
时间对每个人都是公平的(fair)，让我们好好利用(make good use of)我们的时间吧！今天能做的事不要拖延(put off)到明天（今日事今日毕）!
8. The ABC of Kongfu
Follow the instructions carefully. There are no pictures here, only step by step instruction. Also, I hope this article will help those who haven't the chance to go to a club for Chinese Kongfu training. You may practice anywhere, but let me offer some suggestions before we begin.
If you are practicing a form, you will need enough room. However, you may always practice parts of the form when there is no enough space. The height of theceiling is not important, either. Even if you have to keep your knees bent(弯曲)in order not to hurt your head, that is in fact good in your training. A dirty basement(地下室) corner may be cleaned-and perhaps an old mirror can be placed on a chair for corrections. You don't need a lot of light, either. What is important is to wear big warm clothing and flat shoes such as cheap cotton tennis shoes.
【汉语翻译】
功夫入门
认真按这些说明(instructions)去做。这里没有图片，只是一个个步骤的说明。此外，我希望这篇文章(article)可以帮助那些没机会去好功夫馆(中国功夫培训俱乐部(club))的人。你可以在任何地方练习(practice)．但在我们开始之前，让我提供(offer)一些建议(suggestion)。
如果你在练习招式，你需要足够的空间。但如果没有足够的空间，你也可以一直练习部分招式。天花板(ceiling)的高度(height)也不重要(not important either)。即使(even if)你为了不伤着头部而不得不弯着膝盖(knee)，要知道，这实际上在你的训练中也是有好处的。可以清理一下脏乎乎的地下室角落(corner)——也许椅子上可以放一面旧镜子(mirror)用于改正。你也不需要很多的灯。重要的是穿着宽松温暖的衣服和平底鞋(flat shoes)，如便宜的棉布(cotton)网球鞋。
9. The First African-American First Lady
Barack H. Obama, the 44th President of the United States, has become the number one hero in the heart of Americans. His wife Michelle Obama serves as First Lady. The position of First Lady carries no official(官方的) duties, so each First Lady has served her country according to(按照) her own wishes and interests. Some have played an active role in policy-making.
On April 3 in London, U. S First Lady told children at a North London school that being smart is cool, and education is the most important thing in life. She spoke to the students, "If you want to know the reason why I am standing here, it's because of education." She told the 100 young girls，"I never cut class. I loved getting A's, I liked being smart. I thought being smart is cooler than anything in the world. "
She tried to lift their spirits and asked the girls to believe their dreams.
