Chinese walkers, who usually walk the red light together, may be surprised at recent research which showed that they are more patient than people abroad. A study looked at more than 1,800 walkers at three busy Shanghai crossings（交叉路口）. It found that an average Chinese walker ran out of patience at red lights after 90 seconds. But theres an interesting fact: the average Germans endurance ability(耐性） was around 60 seconds while the British only 45 seconds and the American 40 seconds. People will take no notice of the red lights when the waiting time exceeds(超过) their patience time. “A lot of Chinese traffic lights are car-friendly instead of walker-friendly,” said Ni Ying, who led the research team. As there are more and more car users in the city, city planners are giving them more convenience on the roads, according to her. The study also found that at some crossings, walkers waited longer than 150 seconds, and at other crossings the wait could be as long as 200 seconds. However, most red lights abroad do not exceed 120 seconds.The study suggested that planners should think about the walking pace(步幅） of people from different age groups, especially middle-aged people and seniors, in order to make the roads more walker-friendly. But the citys traffic police do not agree. They argue that the roads are built not just for the walkers, but also for cars. “To give more time for walkers would cut down the time for cars,” a traffic policeman said. “On a busy traffic day, it can make traffic worse.”1. Who are the most patient among the people from four different countries?A. The Chinese. B. The German. C. The British. D. The American2. According to the passage, Chinese walkers walk the red light because_A. they are not afraid of the traffic police.B. they are not friendly to car users.C. there is often something wrong with the red lights.D. the waiting time at the crossings is too long.3. What does “them” in Paragraph 4 refer to?A. City planners. B. Walkers. C. Car users. D. The research team.4. How could roads become more friendly to walkers according to the study?A. By taking away the traffic lights.B. By making the roads wider and look nicer.C. By changing the waiting time according to peoples walking pace.D. By stopping the middle-aged people from walking across the roads.5. Which of the following will the traffic police agree with?A. Its right to give more time to walkers.B. Reducing time for car users will make traffic worse.C. We should encourage people to walk instead of driving.D. We should build more roads to meet the need of different people. 参考答案15、ADCCB C（2019中考选练题）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、和D项中，选出最佳选项。On October5, Tu Youyou, 84, became the first Chinese to win a Nobel Prize in natural science.

It seemed simple: go on the Internet and find information about a man named George Washington. As I searched the name, I found that there were two famous people having the same name who looked completely different! One invented hundreds of uses for peanuts (花生), while the other led some sort of army across America. I stared at the screen, wondering which one my teacher meant. I called my grandfather for a golden piece of advice: let the coin decide. I flipped (掷) a coin and ah! Tails (背面)! My report would be about the great man who invented peanut butter, George Washington carver.Weeks later, I stood in front of the classroom and proudly read my homework. But things started to get strange. I looked around the room, only to find my classmates with big smiles on their faces and tears in their eyes and my stone-faced teacher. I was completely lost. “What could be causing everyone to act this way?”Oh well, I dropped the paper and sat down at my desk, burning to find out what I had done wrong. As a classmate began his report, it all became clear, “My report is on George Washington, the man who started the American war of independence.” The whole world became quiet! How could I know that my teacher meant that George Washington?Of course, my subject result was awful. Sad but fearless, I decided to turn this around. I talked to the headmaster, Miss Lancelot, but she said firmly: no re-dos; no new score. I felt that it was not fair, and I believed I deserved a second chance. So I threw myself heartily into my work for the rest of the school year. Ten months later, I sat in the headmasters office again, but this time a completely different conversation. I smiled and flashed back to the terrible moment at the beginning of the year as the headmaster told me I was good enough to skip the 6th grade and started the 7th grade next term.  1. _ helped me decide what my report would be about.  A.

The reasons are simple and important.Your eyes are like two small cameras. A camera catches an image of an object and records it on film. Similarly, when you look at something, each eye takes in what it sees and sends this image to the back of the eyeball. Because your eyes are set close together, they see the world from about the same height but from a little different angles. While your right eye sees an object a little to the right, your left eye sees the same object a bit to the left. Working as a team, the eyes send the images to your brain, then your brain put them together and you see a single image in the center.Seeing in stereo (立体) means seeing with two eyes working tighter, which is called stereoscopic sight. This allows you to see the world in 3D. Seeing depth helps you to judge how far it is betwe
