at maths and writing. He also played the violin but most people say that he wasn’t very good at that.
Max Berlitz’s parents and grandfather were maths teachers but he was poor at maths. He was good at languages. He started a school that taught languages. Now many books and thousands of schools use his ideas.
George Schaller has worked all over the world studying animals. In China, he studied pandas. He said that when he was a boy, he always liked being outside looking
at plants and animals. Now this is his job.
When Tiger Woods was a baby, his father used to play golf in front of him. His father did everything he could to make his son like golf. Now his son is the best golf player in the world.

A
For thousands of years, people used different ways to measure things. Some people measured(测量) things using the size of their king’s foot or hand. When the king died, they used the new king’s foot, and so on. This wasn’t a very good way to measure things, because it wasn’t always clear how big or small a thing really was.
People all over the world used the sun and the moon to measure time. However, they all had different numbers of days in a week and different numbers of hours in a day.
In 1584, a scientist called Simon Stevenius started to think about a set of measures which used the number ten, but no one was interested in his ideas. About two hundred years later, a group of scientists in France decided to use his ideas. They thought of ways to measure everything using ten. Some of their ideas weren’t popular. One was a new clock which had ten hours a day. The other was a new calendar which had ten days a week.
The scientists agreed to use meters to measure length and they worked out how long a meter should be. Then they decided to call one hundredth of a meter a centimeter and a thousand meters a kilometer.
56. People didn’t use the size of their king’s foot or hand to measure things
because ________.
A. the kings would die
B. the king’s foot or hand wasn’t big or small
C. it was unclear how big or small a thing really was
D. it wasn’t clear what the weight of a thing was
57. People all over the world used the number ten to measure things _______.
A. in 1584
B. in the 1780s
C. about 200 years ago
D. about 200 years
later
58. According to the passage, which sentence is right?
A. People all over the world used the S un and the M oon to measure things.
B. Some things can’t be measured using the number ten, such as a clock or a
calendar.
C. Thousands of years ago,people in the world used the same way to measure things.
D. Scientists decided to use grams to measure length.
59. The scientists decided to call ______ of a metre a centimere?
A. 1/100
B. 100th
C. 100
D. 100 times
60. Which is the best title for the passage?

Have you ever had the strange feeling that you were being watched? You turned around and, sure enough, someone was looking right at you!
Parapsychologists (灵学家) say that humans have a natural ability to sense when someone is looking at them. To research whether such a “sixth sense” really exists, Robert Baker, a psychologist (心理学家) at the University of Kentucky, did two experiments.
In the first one, Baker sat behind unknowing people in public places and stared at the backs of their heads for 5 to 15 minutes. The subjects（受试者）were eating, drinking, reading, studying, watching TV, or working at a computer. Baker made sure that the people could not tell that he was sitting behind them during those periods. Later, when he questioned the subjects, almost all of them said they had no sense that someone was staring at them.
For the second experiment, Baker told the subjects that they would be stared at from time to time from behind in a laboratory setting. The people had to write down when they felt they were being stared at and when they weren?t. Baker found that the subjects were no better at telling when they were stared at and when they weren?t. Baker concludes that people do not have the ability to sense when they?re being stared at. If people doubt the of his two experiments, said Baker, “I suggest they repeat the experiments and see for themselves.”
61. What?s the aim of the two experiments for?
A. Prove why humans have a sixth sense.
B. Explain when people can have a sixth sense.
C. Show how people act while being watched in the lab.
D. Study whether humans can sense when they are stared at.
62. What sense does Parapsychologists say that humans have to?
A. A natural ability.
B. A natural staring ability.
C. A strange thinking.
D. A looking feeling.
63. The underlined word “outcome” in the last paragraph most probably means ________.
A. value
B. result
C. performance
D. connection
64. In the second experiment, the subjects _________.
A. could tell when they were stared at and when they weren?t.
B. couldn?t tell when they were stared at or when they weren?t.
C. couldn?t tell when they were stared at but could tell when they weren?t
D. could tell when they were stared at but couldn?t tell when they weren?t.
65. What can we learn from the passage?
A. People are born with a sixth sense.
B. The experiments support parapsychologists? idea.
C. The subjects do not have a sixth sense in the experiments.
D. People have a sixth sense in all places.

2019年中考英语阅读完型专项训练 (名师详细剖析解题技巧+专项练习，建议下载练习) （一） 语法一、代词 代词易错点清单 1. 代词的主格和宾格混淆。 Look! These red apples are all for he. 看，这些红苹果都是给他的。 解析：代词he在介词for的后面作宾语，应用代词的宾格形式。he的宾格形式是him，所以把he改为him。 改后：Look! These red apples are all for him. 2. 形容词性和名词性物主代词的用法混淆。 The big yellow pears belong to me; the rest small ones are his and her. 这些大黄梨是我的，其余小的是他和她的。 解析：本题是考查名词性物主代词的用法，his既可以是形容词性物主代词，也可以是名词性物主代词。而her是形容词性物主代词，要和名词连用。所以应 该用名词性物主代词hers。 改后：The big yellow pears belong to me; the rest small ones are his and hers. 3. 反身代词和人称代词相混淆。 Who taught your sister English? Nobody. She learned it all by her. 谁教你姐姐英文的？没有人。她全靠自己学的。 解析：从句子的意思理解，介词by后应该用反身代词表示“某人自己独自做某事”。所以把her改为herself。 改后：Who taught your sister English? Nobody. She learned it all by herself. 4. 反身代词人称和数与它所指的名词或代词不一致。 Boys and girls! Enjoy yourself!

They are both places with very cold temperatures and few people live there. However, the North and South Poles are not much alike as people may imagine. The North Pole has no land, only thick ice. Temperatures seldom go above 32°F, at which water turns into ice. Most of the time, it stays below zero. In winter temperatures are usually as low as -30℉. Although conditions were very poor, people tried for many centuries to reach the North Pole. About 100 years ago, two men, Robert Peary and Mathew Henson, were able to get to this environment full of troubles and difficulties. They reached the North Pole on March 8th, 1909. It was really a hard trip for them.
