2012年上海中考英语一模试题及答案(静安区)
C. Listen to the passage and tell whether the following statements are true or false
When I was ten, my mother worked all day, so I had to take care of my younger sister, Jane. At that time, Jane was about 4 years old and she missed mom all the time.
One day, after I had given her dinner, she started crying for mom. She really needed her mother. So I dressed her, put on her shoes, carried her on my back and walked out to meet our mother. Soon she fell asleep. About half an hour later, I found that she lost a shoe while sleeping. I took her off my back and put her down. I knew we needed to find that missing shoe, for our mother couldn't afford new shoes. I had to go back to find it, so I told my sister to wait right there. A man passing by stopped me when I walked off. He asked me: "You' re leaving your sister here to find the shoe? What would you do if she was not here when you returned?" I didn't know how to answer the question. He continued: "It's OK if you can't find the shoe, but it is not OK to lose your sister." Then he sent us to mom' s workplace by taxi.
In my life I have relied on the kindness of many strangers. I feel sorry that I can' t find them and say "thank you". I do not even remember what their faces look like, but they let me know what is more important, a person or a thing.

D. Listen to the passage and complete the following sentences
November 21 is World Television Day. The United Nations named the day in 1996. It helps different countries get to know each other better by watching TV. Television is a very common form of media that has influenced people's lives. There are more than one billion televisions in the world today, according to the Canadian Museum of Civilization. In many countries, television even reaches into villages without electricity — villages where television is powered by car batteries. Television can be an excellent teacher with so many channels and programs. These programs provide news of culture and events so that people can learn more about the other side of the globe. Dramas and talk shows also give people a chance to relax after work. However, too much television can harm children's health. Sci¬entists showed that children who spend over four hours per day watching TV are more likely to be overweight and kids older than two should watch no more than one to two hours a day.
