题型：江苏中考真题难度：来源：
what kind of stamps you want to collect. Most people collect stamps that they are interested in: a
certain country or an animal, a famous person or even a sport. Whatever you choose, you will find
that there is a world of knowledge in stamps: you will learn about people, geography, building, history
and culture.
You can collect stamps from letters, ask your friends to let you have their old stamps, or you can
buy used stamps. When you get a letter with a stamp on it, carefully cut out the stamp. Leave lots of
space around the stamp so that you will not damage it. Put the stamp in water and wait until you can
safely remove the stamp. Carefully remove the stamp off the letter. Place the wet stamp between two
clean pieces of paper. A stamp can get wrinkled(褶皱的) when it dries, so put some books on top.
B. Expensive
C. Useful
D. Boring
B. 保存
C. 利用

for a whole day, and now it was time for him to do something.
Robbie looked out of the window. It was still snowing heavily and there was ice on the window. It
was another cold day. Robbie was told to turn the heat on before the family got home. And he did it.
Then Robbie was told to do some cleaning work at once. It was an easy job for him, but a tough
one for his master, Helen. He kept on working until every room was clean and tidy.
For now, he had to cook supper for the family.
The first thing Robbie did was to get the big pot(锅) in the kitchen. Then he put some water in the
pot and put it on the stove. He used one of his hands to cut up a chicken and added the pieces to the
water to make a good soup. Then he got some tomatoes, cabbages and carrots to make a vegetable
salad.
At ten past eight he laid
the table. Then he put some bread, the chicken soup and the salad on it. What a sweet smell! The moment he turned on the lights, the whole family came home.

hear someone saying "She is a typical (典型的) Australian" or "He is so French". It seems that people
from a certain country share certain similar characteristics.
French
French people are often seen as romantic and outgoing people with a great love for life, food and
wine. They are good at singing and dancing.
Chinese
Chinese are friendly people who are hard-working. They are polite because they are careful about
"saving face" when dealing with other people.
Australians
Australians are merry people who spend a lot of time outdoors. They enjoy a slower life. They laugh
a lot but sometimes people think they are loud and rude.
Germans
Germans are often described as being serious and careful. They are hard workers and pay
a lot of attention to details. However, sometimes people say Germans have no sense of humour.
All these national types can be true for some people, but very wrong for others. For example, you
might meet a German who is a confident singer with a great sense of humour, or an Australian who is
shy and quiet.!

| Green is an important color in nature. It is the color of grass and the leaves on trees. It is the color of most growing plants, too. Sometimes, the word green means young, fresh and growing. Sometimes, it describes something that is not yet finished or plants that are not ripe. For example, a greenhorn is someone who has no experience, who is new to a situation. In the fifteenth century, a greenhorn was a young cow or ox whose horns had not yet developed. A century or so later, a greenhorn was a soldier who had not yet had any experience in war (战争). By the eighteenth century, a greenhorn had the meaning it has today--a person who is new in a job. About one hundred years ago, greenhorn was a popular expression in the American west. Old-timers used it to describe a man who had just arrived from one of the big cities in the east. The greenhorn didn"t have the skills that he would need to live in the hard, rough country. Someone who has the ability to grow plants well is said to have a green thumb. The expression comes from the early nineteen hundreds. A person with a green thumb seems to have a magic touch that makes plants grow quickly and well. You might say that the woman next door has a green thumb if her garden continues to grow long after your plants have died. The Green Revolution (革命) is the name which was given some years ago to the development of new kinds of rice and other grains. The new plants produced much larger crops. The Green Revolution was the result of hard work by agricultural (农业的) scientists who had green thumbs. | |||

| 2. The meaning of the underlined word "ripe" in the second paragraph is ______. | |||

| 3. Which of the following about the Green Revolution is NOT right? | |||
| A. If there weren"t the Green Revolution, we would have no rice to eat. B. The expression "the Green Revolution" appeared several years ago. C. Because of the Green Revolution, we have more kinds of rice and other grains. D. Agricultural scientists with green thumbs started the Green Revolution. | |||
