Maybe not. New research into the reasons for shark attacks (攻击) suggests that sharks don’t like the way humans taste! In fact, most people who are attacked by the shark are still alive after receiving only one bite (咬). Why is this?There are many opinions to explain why sharks sometimes attack people. One opinion is that sharks are just curious (好奇的). We know that sharks are the strongest animals in their environment, so they are not afraid of anything. Naturally, that means they are curious whenthey meet something unusual. Because they don’t have hands or feet., the only way they can find out an object is to bite it! It is thought that sharks sometimes bite humans for this reason, and then swim away.Scientists also say that sharks would not waste energy trying to eat a human, as we have a lot of bones (骨头). It is hard for a shark to eat us because sharks don’thave hands, and they can’t pull the meat off our bones. Maybe that’s whythey only bite us once. Unluckily, one bite from a large shark is seriousenough to hurt people greatly!Another opinion is that sharks attack humans by mistake. Some sharksmay sometimes mistake humans for a seal. An example of this is when a sharkattack attacks a surfer. A surfer lying on a surfboard looks like a sealwhen seen from below. Sharks like seals because they have thick fat.Whatever the reason for shark attacks on humans, sharks should be afraid of us. Sadly, we kill almost 40 million of them each year.73. What happens to people attacked by sharks?A. Most of them because blind.B. Most of them because of deaf.C. Most of them died.D. Most of them are still alive.74. How do sharks find out about an unusual object according to the passage?A. By biting.B. By smelling.C. By touching.D. By killing.75. Which sentence about sharks is true?A. Sharks pull meat off bones when they eat.B. Sharks might mistake humans for seals.C. Sharks like to attack surfers becaus e of their thick fat.D. One bite from a shark is nothing serious.76. What would the author write the passage mainly for?A. To tell surfers to stay away from sharks.B. To ask people to stop killing sharks.C. To let us know the reasons for shark attacks on people.D. To show that humans are much stronger than sharks.【答案】73.D74.A75.B76.C【考点】关于鲨鱼袭击人类的议论文阅读【分析】短文大意：这篇短文主要从两个方面解释了鲨鱼为什么袭击人类的原因，一是因为好奇心；二是因为把人当成海豹。

And every night, I look at the posters with photos of David Beckham and Yao Ming on my bedroom wall before I go to sleep. Can we imagine life without paper or print?Paper was first created about 2,000 years ago, and has been made from silk, cotton, bamboo, and, since the 19th century, from wood.

2014年中考英语（第01期）大题狂做系列01（含解析）1．【2013黑龙江哈尔滨】Have you ever beard of Iceland? Iceland is a country, one-tenth of which is covered with ice. However, it is said that Iceland is the land of heat. Smoking volcanoes (火山), white steam (蒸汽) and hot springs are more amazing than the other sights including ice there.It has taken millions of years for volcanoes and lava flows (熔岩流) to build Iceland. When hiking through one of Iceland’s many ancient lava fields, you may notice something strange. White steam is rising from each vent in front of you. Iceland is covered with vents which steam can pass out of. The steam comes from naturally heated rocks and hot water below the Earth’s surface (表面).Like steam vents, hot springs can be seen here and there in the ancient lava fields. Blue Lake is the most famous hot spring in Iceland. It isn’t far from the capital city of the country. The water and white earth in it can make your skin as soft as a newborn baby’s skin. Enjoy that water, because it has traveleda long way. It starts nearly two kilometers under Blue Lake. There, water fromthe ocean continues moving up slowly into the spaces between hot rocks below the surface. And then the water is heated by hot rocks. Powerful machines and long pipes (水管) help bring the heated water to the surface. People in Iceland use natural hot water for hot springs. Besides, they use it to create electricity that can be used to heat homes and even greenhouses.Iceland is one of the few places on the Earth where active volcanoes lie below ice. Heat from the volcanoes creates a strange and wild beauty. Therefore, some people believe that it’s better to call the country “Heatland” instead of Iceland. If you have a chance to travel there, take it.根据短文内容选择最佳答案。

2014年中考英语（第01期）大题狂做系列10（含解析）1．【2013河南】Cause and effect is one way to explain things that happen around us. Many things happen because something caused or infl uenced them to happen. Sometimes it is hard to look at a cause and find out what caused or influenced them to happen. Sometimes it is hard to look at a cause and find out what causes the effect. It may help you to start wit h the effect and use your reasoning(推理的) skills. Think about all the things you know that could be reasons for the effect you can see.For example, you may see someone putting on a heavy jacket. This is the effect. To look for a cause, think to yourself, “What would take someone put on a heavy jacket?” Maybe the person is going outside into very cold weather. Maybe the person works in the penguin pen(企鹅圈养地) at Sea World. Maybe the person is going to visit an ice skating rink where the air is kept very cold. All of these things could be a cause for putting on a heavy jacket.Now, think about a second example. The effect is a boy named Abi has to go to the head teacher’s office. What are the possible causes? Maybe he bullied(欺负) another student. Maybe he is just being picked up early. Maybe he is being given a prize!Here is another example for you to think about its cause and effect. Cait, 13, was trying to fall asleep when her 8-year-old brother, Doug, came into her room. He looked around a bit, but seemed really out of it. Then Doug went back into the hallway and stood there looking straight up at the hall light for quite a while. Little brothers can be very strange, but this was really much too strange. Cait’s father appeared and explained that Doug was sleepwalking. What’s the cause end effec t, could you tell?根据材料内容选择最佳答案，并将其标号填入题前括号内。

2014年中考英语（第01期）大题狂做系列01（含解析）1．【2013黑龙江哈尔滨】Have you ever beard of Iceland? Iceland is a country, one-tenth of which is covered with ice.However, it is said that Iceland is the land of heat. Smoking volcanoes (火山), white steam (蒸汽) and hot springs are more amazing than the other sights including ice there.It has taken millions of years for volcanoes and lava flows (熔岩流) to build Iceland.When hiking through one of Iceland’s many ancient lava fields, you may notice something strange. White steam is rising from each vent in front of you. Iceland is covered with vents which steam can pass out of. The steam comes from naturally heated rocks and hot water below the Earth’s surface (表面).Like steam vents, hot springs can be seen here and there in the ancient lava fields.Blue Lake is the most famous hot spring in Iceland. It isn’t far from the capital city of the country. The water and white earth in it can make your skin as soft as a newborn baby’s skin. Enjoy that water, because it has traveled a long way. It starts nearly two kilometers under Blue Lake. There, water from the ocean continues moving up slowly into the spacesbetween hot rocks below the surface. And then the water is heated by hot rocks. Powerful machines and long pipes (水管) help bring the heated water to the surface. People in Iceland use natural hot water for hot springs. Besides, they use it to create electricity that can be used to heat homes and even greenhouses.Iceland is one of the few places on the Earth where active volcanoes lie below ice. Heat from the volcanoes creates a strange and wild beauty. Therefore, some people believe that it’s better to call the country “Heatland” instead of Iceland. If you have a chance to travel there, take it.根据短文内容选择最佳答案。
