2024年中考英语新热点时文阅读-科普知识01（2022秋·江苏宿迁·九年级统考期中）Fresh green grass. Hundreds of colorful wild flowers. Water running into little pools. Birds making their homes in boxes. The 9,500-square-metre Augustenborg Botanical Garden may look just like any other well-organized park, but there’s a difference. It lies on the roofs(屋顶) of industrial and office buildings in the city of Malmo in Sweden.Green roofs are not a new invention. And now they are getting popular again. The common roofs of a mode m city have endless black surfaces(表面) with no life or water. Perhaps that’s why a garden on a roof becomes such a perfect choice for more people.Green roofs are not just pretty. They also help to moderate the city temperature. The high temperatures on common roofs in summer can make top floor flats uncomfortably hot. What is more, they play a part in making the cities hotter than the countryside around them, causing the “urban heat-island effect”. On a green roof, however, with its plants and water, temperatures change only a little, as they do in a park. This can greatly cut the costs of heatingand cooling in the building below.Also, a green roof takes in rain water, and protects the city drainage system(排水系统). ________ And small animals and birds can make their homes on it. Thanks to this, the city may become part of nature, rather than something completely separate from it.While the cost of building such as roof can still be higher, it can be cheaper in the long term as a result of energy savings. And wouldn’t it be wonderful to be able to walk out into a garden high above the city’s noise and traffic, whether you’re at school or in an office or just at home in a ten-floor block?1．With the example of Augustenborg Botanical Garden, the writer wants to explain ________.A．what a green roof is like B．how wildlife is protectedC．what to do with a spare roof D．how to organize a good park2．The underlined word “moderate” in Paragraph 3 is the closest in meaning to “________”.A．raise B．check C．control D．record3．Which of the following is the best sentence to fill in the blank in Paragraph 4?A．A common roof is noisy.B．A green roof is alive.C．A green roof stops pollution.D．A common roof increases the cost.4．The purpose of the passage is to ________.A．introduce the change of green roofs B．solve the problems with green roofsC．show the amazing beauty of green roofs D．describe the advantages(优点) of green roofs02（2023·辽宁朝阳·统考中考真题）Chinese researchers reached the top of Qomolangma on May 4, 2022. They set up the world’s highest automatic(自动的) weather station at an altitude(海拔) of 8,830 meters. This helps them to study the influences of climate change on the environment.It is the highest automatic weather station in the world now. It has taken the place of the station sitting at an altitude of 8,430 meters on the south side of the mountain, which is the second highest now. This allows Chinesescientists to directly collect data(数据) for the first time from the top of the world’s highest mountain.Collecting and studying data from Qomolangma is not easy. But the data will give valuable information about the condition of local glaciers(冰川) and mountain snow. It will also help scientists study and understand the global monsoon(季风) system, so experts can make proper decisions about climate change.Yao Tandong, a famous expert, said Chinese scientists had set up eight weather stations from 5,200 to 8,830 meters above sea level. Half of the stations were set up at an altitude higher than 7,000 meters. “Along with strong government support and hard work by scientists, China has become a global front-runner in fields such as climate change.” Yao said.5．What is the altitude of the highest automatic weather station?A．5,200 meters.B．7,000 meters.C．8,430 meters.D．8,830 meters.6．What does the underlined word “It” refer to(指代) in Paragraph 3?A．Reaching the top of Qomolangma.B．The influences of climate change.C．The data from Qomolangma.D．The highest automatic weather station.7．How many weather stations were set up at an altitude higher than 7,000 meters?A．Two.B．Four.C．Six.D．Eight.8．Which statement(陈述) is NOT right according to the passage?A．Chinese scientists can directly collect data from the top of Qomolangma now.B．It is hard to collect and study data from Qomolangma.C．The second highest weather station is on the north side of the mountain.D．China has made great achievements in fields such as climate change.9．In which part of a newspaper can we find the passage?A．Science.B．Sports.C．Travel.D．Health.03（2022秋·山东济宁·九年级统考期末）Music plays an important role in the lives of people all over the world. That is why many wonder what influences their tastes in music. Could your music list show something about your personality?One study by Heriot-Walt University offered a possible answer by an experiment. Here are the results it found: Pop Music. Fans of top 40 pop hits are likely to be outgoing and honest. While pop music lovers are hard-working and have high self-esteem(自尊), researchers suggest that they may be less creative and easy to get worried.Rap or Hip-Hop Music. People usually believe that rap lovers are more aggressive(好争斗的), but researchers have found no such connection. They say rap fans are likely to have high self-esteem and are usually outgoing.Rock or Heavy Metal Music. Although sometimes rock or heavy metal music seems aggressive, researchers found that fans of this style of music are usually quite gentle. They can be creative, but are often shy and have low self-esteem.Classical Music. Classical music lovers are typically shyer but also feel comfortable with themselves and the world around them. They are creative and have a good sense of self-esteem.Though personality alone does not explain musical preferences, this experiment helps you know yourself and others better.10．What’s the purpose of the study?A．To know what kind of music people like most.B．To tell people the importance of listening to music.C．To show people which kind of music they should listen to.D．To test the relationship between a person’s personality and his or her music list.11．How might a person’s personality be if he or she is a fan of pop music?A．Quiet and shy.B．Serious and strict.C．Friendly and polite.D．Outgoing and honest.12．What kind of music does Mrs. Green like listening to if she feels relaxed about the world around her?A．Pop music.B．Rock music.C．Classical music.D．Rap music.13．What’s the best title for the text?A．Music and hobby B．Music and personalityC．Fans and music D．Researchers and music04（2022秋·湖北襄阳·九年级统考期中）My blood type (血型) is AB, which only 7 percent of Chinese have. I always thought it made me special, even though I had no real reason to believe that.

If so, you’ve experienced “hangry (饿怒)” —some people get angry easily as they are hungry. The reason for this lies in what happens inside your body when it needs food.Everything you eat would be changed into different kinds of nutrients (营养物质) in your body. These nutrients would enter your blood and be passed to every part of your body and be used for creating energy. As time passes after your last meal, these nutrients in your blood drop. Also, your blood glucose (血糖) drops. Unlike other parts in your body, your brain totally depends on blood glucose to do its job. You’ve probably already noticed that simple things can become difficult when you are hungry and your blood glucose levels drop. You may find it hard to pay attention. For example, you may make silly mistakes in your study and homework. You might also have noticed that you can’t even speak clearly when you’re too hungry.Another thing that happens when you’re hungry is behaving impolitely and can’t control yourself, such as snapping at others. In that case, even though you may already try your best to avoid conflict (冲突) with important friends, you may still be too angry to control yourself when you are staying with the people you are most relaxed with. That’s why you may find yourself being impatient with your parents or friends.So what should we do to avoid being hangry? The easiest way is to eat something before you get too hungry. The best choice is to have some nutrient - rich and natural foods that help deal with hunger quickly and can be kept in our body as long as possible, but not fast food. The final way is to suggest that difficult situations should be dealt with after a meal, not before.17．When does “hangry” usually happen?A．When the body needs food.B．When nutrients enter your body.C．When the blood glucose levels drop.D．When it’s hard for you to pay attention.18．What does the underlined words “snapping at” mean in Chinese?A．称赞B．呵斥C．嘲笑D．帮助19．Which paragraphs tell the influence of being hangry?A．①②B．②③C．③④D．④⑤20．Which is one of the ways to deal with hunger?A．Eat something after you get too hungry.B．Stay with people you are most relaxed with.C．Deal with difficult situations after meals.D．Eat a little junk food before you are hungry.21．Who is the text written for?A．Doctors.B．Teachers.C．Parent.D．Students.06（2022秋·山东菏泽·九年级统考期中）Have you ever thought about why you are the way you are? And what does your personality（性格）connect with? Recent research has showed that the position（位置）in which we are born in our family plays a very important role in forming personality.The eldest childBeing the only child, the eldest enjoys all their parents’ attention. However, new parents usually expect to see their child do well. And the eldest child tries to meet these expectations. As a result, the eldest children are usuallypolite and traditional. The problems come with the birth of another child. Suddenly the attention they’re used to receiving becomes weaker. Then, they don’t feel safe and will try to do all they can to make their parents happy.The second childThe second child has no experience of life without a brother or sister, so they never know how their brothers or sisters feel when they suddenly have to share the attention. The second children are often more outgoing and always looking for ways to get attention. One of the most common ways to achieve this is by making people laugh and the second children are often the jokers of the family. Again, problems can appear when another baby arrives. Suddenly, the second child becomes the middle child and may lose a clear sense（意识）of where they are.The third childWith the birth of their third baby, parents will often feel this is their last chance to bring up a child. This means the youngest child, more often than not, is spoilt（溺爱）with attention and love. This can lead them to be very self-centered, believing that the world moves around them. They are always treated as the “baby” of the family so they don’t do as well as they could do. They like doing things in unexpected ways, so they are also likely to be creative. 22．What influences people’s personality according to the text?A．Birth place.B．Birth weight.C．Birth order.23．What does the underlined word “they” refer to in the text?A．The eldest children.B．The second children.C．The parents.24．Compared to the first child, the second child is _________ according to the text.A．more polite and traditionalB．more humorous and outgoingC．more creative and confident25．According to the text, if Tom thinks mainly about himself and always has new ideas, he might be _________.A．the eldest child B．the second child C．the third child07（2022秋·山东菏泽·九年级统考期中）It is said that tea can improve creative power(力量) of the literary(文学的) artists in ancient China.According to Lu Yu’s Cha Jing, tea-drinking in China can be traced back(追溯) to the Zhou Dynasty—tea was discovered by Shen Nong and became popular as a drink in the State of Lu because of Zhou Gong.Tea-drinking in China has a long history of four thousand years. As the legend(传说) has it, Shen Nong tasted hundreds of wild plants in order to prevent people from eating the poisonous plants. It is said that he was once poisoned but was saved by eating some leaves of an evergreen(常青的) plant with white flowers. Later, people called the leaves that saved his life “cha”.In modern times, people still keep tea-drinking as one of their everyday activities. According to the study, tea can also influence some modern illnesses. To those who have to work with computers for a long time, drinking tea can help them to recreate a new balance(平衡) in their bodies. And to those old people, drinking tea is also a good way to make them have a longer life.26．Tea-drinking in China can be traced back to ________.A．the Zhou Dynasty B．the Xia Dynasty C．the Tang DynastyA．供饮用的B．美味的C．有毒的28．What does paragraph 3 mainly tell us?A．The birth of tea.B．Tea became popular.C．Shen Nong was once poisoned.29．Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A．Tea can improve creative power of the computer workers in ancient China.B．Tea became popular as a drink in the State of Lu because of Zhou Gong.C．People don’t keep tea-drinking as one of their everyday activities.30．What is the main idea of this passage?A．The legend of Shen Nong.B．The history of tea-drinking in China.C．Tea can influence some modern illnesses.参考答案：1．A 2．C 3．B 4．D【导语】本文讲述介绍了绿色屋顶，并介绍了其好处。

Turn right!” In the information technology (IT) class, Zhang Ruixuan was controlling a robot to move around.“This is part of our artificial intelligence (AI) courses,” said the 10th grader from Beijing 101 Middle School. The school provides AI classes to both junior and senior high school students. Apart from compulsory (必修的) courses that teach basic knowledge, there are also optional (选修的) courses if students want to learn more.“This semester in our compulsory class, we have learned coding (编程) through a programming language called Python,” said Zhang.

In March, the small city received about 4.8 million tourists. It is certainly not the only city that offers barbecue, or even the most famous one, but its seemingly sudden fame was steps in the making.Zhou Maosong, president of the Zibo Tourism Promotion Association said the popularity started from the crowd-gathering effect of cultural and tourism activities including a music festival. Then famous people tasted the barbecue and put their experiences online attracting young people, which led to a wave of students from neighbouring cities visiting Zibo. What better way to lure adventurous and hungry college students other than “tasty barbecue that makes you full within only 50 yuan!” However, Zibo did not fall into the trap (陷阱) of easy fame that dies fast where sellers cheat buyers on price and quality for the most profit (盈利) in the shortest time. A blogger on Douyin took an electronic scale (电子秤) to ten barbecue stands in Ziboto test if he would be offered less food. It turned out that not a single one was caught short of weight and some owners even offered him local snacks for free. Local people’s honest and friendly behaviour touched even more people online and again lifted the city’s popularity.Zibo’s successful story has inspired governments in other parts of the country to find their ways of supporting local businesses.19．What does the underlined word “lure” in Paragraph 2 probably mean?A．Attract.B．Challenge.C．Follow.D．Organize.20．What are the other reasons for Zibo’s popularity besides the crowd-gathering effect?①Famous people’s recommendation.②Barbecue at low prices.③Support from neighbouring cities.④Local people’s kindness.A．①②③B．②③④C．①②④D．①③④21．Where is the passage probably taken from?A．A science fiction.B．A travel guide.C．A food advertisement.D．A news report.06（2023·山东日照·日照市新营中学校考三模）The common problem of myopia (近视) among students has been a big challenge for China to deal with for many years. According to reports, about 35.6 percent of primary school students and nearly 81 percent of senior high school students are nearsighted (近视的) in China.Considering this background, Wantang Primary School in Yunnan province really stands out. This is because none of the students at this school suffer from myopia. Parents, teachers and eye experts began discussing whether the school’s experience can be used to tackle the rising level of myopia across China.Yang Chenhao is a doctor at the Children’s Hospital of Fudan University. He said that while the school is a special case, some of its methods are highly worth learning, such as keeping children away from mobile phones and getting them outdoors more often.Yang Qingyi is a teacher at the school, which has 536 students. He said that all children are required to go outside during class breaks. “Even for quiet kids, we encourage them to take a walk outside,” he said. When the three sports teachers there are busy, teachers of other subjects will work as trainers to teach basketball and table tennis.“If there is one piece of advice that we can share on achieving zero myopia, I would say large amounts of outdoor activities,” said Sun Fubiao, the primary school’s headmaster. Sun said that a number of his students’ parents are working in other areas, so the school has fixed six public phones while not allowing use of personal mobile phones.“In teacher-parent WeChat groups, we often remind parents to pay attention to kids’ eye health when they are at home for weekends or vacations,” he added.22．How is the first paragraph organized?A．By listing numbers.B．By telling stories.C．By giving examples.D．By comparing facts.23．What does the underlined word “tackle” probably mean in Chinese?A．解释B．应对C．提升D．保持24．What can we know from Yang Chenhao’s words?A．Doctors should work with primary schools.B．Wantang Primary School is worth learning in some ways.C．Children should not use a mobile phone.D．Parents should pay more attention to their kids.25．What is the most important way to achieve zero myopia according to Sun Fubiao?A．Less time of learning at school.B．Fixing enough public phones.C．Much time of outside activities.D．Working with kids’ parents.参考答案：1．B 2．C 3．C 4．B【导语】本文主要介绍了美团推出的无人机送餐服务，包括其操作流程、研发过程及发展前景。

专题11生态文明-备战2022年中考英语阅读理解热点话题特训
11 生态文明The Chinese government raised the protection level of Chinese pangolins (穿山甲) to the top level on World Environment Day—June 5th. Pangolins used to be at the second level under national protection. This act makes people pay more attention to ecological civilization (生态文明). It also shows our great determination to fight against the illegal hunting (非法捕猎) and the trading of wild animals and other things made from them.According to a national wildlife study in the 1990s, there were about 60,000 Chinese pangolins in 11 provinces, including Yunnan, Hunan, Guangdong, Sichuan and Zhejiang. Until now, pangolins have become fewer and fewer because of the living places that are being destroyed, crazy hunting and smuggling. In 2017, Chinese pangolins were placed on the Red Lis of Threatened Species after a team of experts believed their number had dropped by 90 percent in the past years.“The value of pangolins to the ecosystem is much more than the value of their meat or scales (鳞). There is a l ong way to go in protecting them, but we can start by saying no to things made from them,” said Zhou Fei, chief program officer of the World Wildlife Fund of China.What’s more, the pangolin has a very strong response (反应) to stress, which means that it easily becomes nervous when it is caught.Pangolin scales have been taken away from the Chinese Pharmacopeia (药典). It means the scales will no longer be used as a kind of medicine.1．Now, Chinese pangolins are ________.A．at the top protection level B．at the second protection levelC．at the third protection level D．not under national protection2．What does the underlined word “smuggling” mean in this passage?A．灭绝B．走私C．饥饿D．自杀3．As students, what can we do to protect the pangolins according to the passage?A．We can fight against the illegal hunters by ourselves.B．We can help to find more living places for them.C．We can tell people the value of their meat and scales.D．We can refuse to buy things made from them.4．Which of the following is TRUE?A．Pangolins’ number has dropped by 80 percent in the past years.B．Pangolin scales have been taken away from the Chinese PharmacopeiaC．We can protect pangolins in a short time.D．The pangolin hardly becomes nervous when it is caught.5．The main purpose of this passage is to tell us ________.A．what kind of medicine pangolins can be used asB．what value pangolins bring usC．why our government raised the protection level of pangolinsD．why pangolins have become fewer and fewerA grand international horticultural（园艺）exhibition kicked off on April 29, 2019 Monday in Beijing. Chinese President Xi expressed his hope that the green development concept（理念）embodied（体现）by the Expo park would be spread to “every corner of the world”.The International Horticultural Exhibition 2019 Beijing is the highest-level and largest international fair held in China after the International Horticultural Exhibition held in the southwest city of Kunming in 1999, the 2010 Shanghai World Expo and the first China International Import Expo in 2018.“The development model of ‘killing the hens for eggs' and ‘draining（排空）the lake for fish' is at a dead end, "Xi said in his speech at the opening ceremony of the Expo. "The future will be illuminated（发光的）byeco-friendly development that is i n accordance with the rules of nature.”“China's ecological civilization（生态文明）development is on fast track. People will live in a better environment with blue sky, green mountains and clear water, "Xi said." We should protect the ecological environment lik e protecting our eyes and value it in the same way we value our lives.”“Only with concerted efforts can we effectively（有效）deal with global environment issues such as climate change, marine（海洋）pollution and biological protection and achieve the United Nations 2030 Agenda for Sustainable（可持续的）Development goals," he said.He put forward a five-point suggestion: pursuing（追求）harmony between human and nature, prosperity（繁荣）based on green development, a passion for mature-caring lifestyles, a scientific spirit in ecological governance and joint efforts to deal with environmental challenges."The Beijing Horticultural Expo, themed ‘Live Green, Live Better', is one of the major international events hosted by China in 2019, which marks the 70th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China. It indicates（标识）that China has changed from a participant（参与者）in global green development to a contributor and leader, "said Wu Shunze, an expert with the Ministry of Ecology and Environment. A total of 110 countries and international organizations will attend the 162-day event.6．The underlined phrase "kicked off" in the Paragraph 1 means “____________”.A．started B．ended C．celebrated D．joined7．From the passage we can know that the International Horticultural Exhibition 2019 Beijing __________.A．is first hosted by ChinaB．is covered with green parkC．is held in Kunming, YunnanD．lasts 162 days in total8．From the passage, we can learn that President Xi___________.A．thinks eco-friendly development is less importantB．gives 5 suggestions on ecological environmentC．thinks China's ecological civilization development is slowD．advises us to kill the hens for eggs to protect environment9．“Live green, Live Better” means that ___________.A．if we live in a green environment, we will live betterB．if we want to live better, we should live in a green roomC．green can change global environmental problems effectivelyD．the world in the future must be coloured in green everywhere10．The writer of the passage wants to show us________.A．the wonderful opening ceremony of the ExpoB．Chinese leadership in global green developmentC．the importance of green development conceptD．the future green environment in the expo parkWould it surprise you to learn that, like animals, trees can communicate with each other and pass on their wealth to the next generation—their young trees?Suzanne Simard, forest ecologist (生态学家) at the University of British Columbia, explains how trees are much more complex (复杂的) than most of us ever imagined. Although Charles Darwin (达尔文) thought that trees are competing for survival of the fittest, Simard and her team have made a new discovery and showed just how wrong he was. In fact, the opposite is true: trees survive through their group work and support, passing around necessary nutrition (营养) such as nitrogen (氮) and carbon "depending on who needs it".Nitrogen (氮) and carbon are shared through miles of underground fungi (真菌) networks. This makes sure that all trees in the forest ecological system give and receive just the right amount to keep them all healthy. This system works in a very similar way to the networks of neurons (神经元) in our brains, and when one tree is destroyed, it influences all.Simard talks about "Mother trees". These are usually the largest, oldest plants on which all other trees depend. These "Mother trees" are connected to all the other trees in the forest by this network of fungi, and may manage the resources of the whole trees and plants in the forest. She explains how these trees pass on the wealth to the next generation, transporting important resources to young trees so they may continue to grow. When humans cut down "Mother trees" without paying attention to these highly complex "tree societies" of the networks on which they feed, we are reducing the chances to save the whole forest."We didn't take any notice of it," Simard says sadly. "Mother trees" move nutrition into the young trees before dying, but we never give them chance. If we could put across the message to the forestry industry, we could make a huge difference towards our environmental protection efforts for the future.11．The underlined sentence "the opposite is true" in Paragraph 2 probably means that trees ________. A．compete for survival B．protect their own wealthC．depend on each other D．provide support for dying trees12．"Mother trees" are very important because they ________.A．look the largest in size in the forest B．pass on nutrition to young treesC．bring more wealth to humans D．know more about the "tree societies"13．We can learn from the passage that ________.A．trees aren't as complex as we thinkB．Charles Darwin had the same opinion as SimardC．if "Mother trees" are cut down, they won't make difference to young treesD．trees can share resources with other ones by the underground fungi networksPassage4Would it surprise you to learn that, like animals, trees can communicate with each other and pass on their wealth to the next generation---their young trees?Suzanne Simard, forest ecologist(生态学家) at the University of British Columbia, explains how trees are much more complex(复杂的) than most of us ever imagined.

Perhaps you will think of something such as a TV, a coffee table or a sofa. But French designers（设计师）Mathieu Lehanne ur and Anthony van den Bossche didn’t think that was enough. They wanted to add something new in people’s living rooms. So they created a do-it-yourself ecosystem (生态系统) named “Local River”. The system lets its owner grow fish and plants inside tanks（缸）in their living rooms.In the DIY fish and gardening ecosystem, the plants on top of the tank feed on the waste of the fish below. It makes the water clean so the fish can go on living. In this way, the fish and plants in the “Local River”can keep the balanc ed environment with a little help from the owner. The system is also called “fridge-aquarium (冰箱水族馆)” by some people because owners can use the fish and plants as food. That is to say, owners are able to grow fish and plants within the "Local River" before eating them. Almost any plant can grow on top of the tanks and most freshwater fish are able to live in the tanks below.The“Local River”ecosystem from Paris comes in small and large models. It is a relaxing thing to have in your home.根据短文内容，选择最佳答案。

基础练6: 阅读理解A（人与自然）+ 阅读理解B（文学艺术）+七选五练习一阅读理解主题一人与自然A(2021 福建高三模拟)People today are not unfamiliar with term such as "going eco-friendly" and "sustainable lifestyle". However, there exists a group of sceptics (怀疑论者) who believe that going eco-friendly is merely a fad （一时的风尚) . I disagree with this viewpoint, Going eco-friendly is not merely a fad and it doe s, in fact, change the beliefs and attitudes of people.The long-term presence of environmental organisations shows the efforts that people have made towards going eco-friendly. Organisations such as World Wildlife Fund advocate people to go eco-friendly. The high involvement of the organisations and the participants is thus a strong indicator that going eco-fr iendly is not merely a fad but a trend that can last decades.Another strong indicator is the emergence of sustainable products in many industries, such as organic produce and electric vehicles. The consumer demand, coupled with eco-conscious (环保意识的) businesses, is behind the sharp increase in such products. This shows a shift in the beliefs and attitudes of people towards adopting a sustainable lifestyle. Thus, it seems quite certain that going eco-friendly is not merely a fad.While some people who broadcast their eco-friendly practices are criticised for just hoping to project an eco-conscious image, there are a number of celebrities who have been practising the zero-waste lifestyle for years. For those who do so for years, and not mere days or months,it is indeed a commitment that can only come with a true change in beliefs and attitudes towards caring for the earth.The call to save the earth looks set to stay. With the development of technology and the appearance of many platforms advocating going green, people ar e more willing to change their beliefs and attitudes when they can learn about and appreciate the positive impact of the work of different environmental organisations and individuals. It is hoped that these effects will go a long way in ensuring that our planet will remain a suitable place to live in.1. Why does the author mention World Wildlife Fund?A. To appreciate its environmental efforts.B. To encourage people to go eco-friendly.C. To evidence the universal recognition of going green.D. To highlight the difficulty in changing people's attitudes.2. What does the underlined word "emergence" mean in paragraph 3?A. Sudden disappearance.B. Sharp increase.C. Gradual development.D. Limited application.3. What does the author expect of technology development?A. It may discourage people from sustainable lifestyle.B. It may boost the business of organic produce.C.· It will be used to project an eco-conscious image.D. It will promote environmental awareness.4. What is the author's purpose in writing this text?A. To prove going eco-friendly a lasting trend.B. To popularize the eco-friendly products.C. To offer strategies to go eco-friendly.D. To advertise for eco-friendly platforms.B（上海高三模拟）For millions of years, Arctic sea ice has expanded and shrunk in a rhythmic dance with the summer sun. Humans evolved in this icy world, and civilization relied on it for climatic, ecological and political stability. But now the world comes ever closer to a future without ice. The National Snow and Ice Data Center reported that 2019's minimum arctic sea ice extent was the second lowest on record. Arctic summers could become mostly ice-free in 30 years, and possibly sooner if current trends continue. As the northern sea ice declines, the world must unite to preserve what remains of the Arctic.Although most people have never seen the sea ice, its effects are never far away. By reflecting sunlight, Arctic ice acts as Earth's air conditioner. Once d ark water replaces brilliant ice, Earth could warm substantially, equivalent to the warming caused by the additional release of a trillion tons of carbon dioxide (CO2) into the atmosphere and declining sea ice threatens wildlife, from the polar bear to algae that grow beneath the sea ice, supporting the large amount of marine life.To avoid the consequences the scientific community should advocate not just for lowering greenhouse gas emissions, but also for protecting the Arctic from exploitation. The Antarctic shows the way. In the 1950s, countries raced to claim the Antarctic continent for resources and military installations. Enter the scientists. The 1957-1958 International Geophysical Year brought together scientists from competing countries to study Antarctica, and countries temporarily suspended their territorial disputes (争议). In 1959, 12 countries signed theAntarctic Treaty to preserve the continent for peaceful scientific discovery rather than territorial and military gain.Sixty years later, we must now save the Arctic. A new Marine Arctic Peace Sanctuary (MAPS) Treaty would protect the Arctic Ocean as a scientific preserve for peaceful purposes only. Similar to Antarctica, MAPS would prohibit resource exploitation, commercial fishing and shipping, and military exercises. So far, only 2 non-Arctic countries have signed MAPS; 97 more need to sign on to enact it into law. Scientists can help- -just as they did for the Antarctic ——by giving statements of support, asking scientific organizations to endorse (支持) the treaty, communicating the importance of protecting the arctic to the public and policy-makers, and above all, by convincing national leaders to sign the treaty. In particular, Arctic nations must agree that recognizing the arctic as an international preserve is better than fighting over it. In 2018, these countries successfully negotiated a 16-year moratorium on commercial fishing in the Arc tic high seas, demonstrating that such agreements are possible.Humans have only ever lived in a world topped by ice. Can we now work together to protect Arctic ecosystems, keep the northern peace, and allow the : sea ice to return?1. What can be inferred from the passage?A. wildlife relies on sea ice for food and water.B. The Arctic would be ice-free in 30 years.C. Sea ice slows down the global warming.D. The melting of sea ice releases CO2.2. The Antarctic is mentioned in the passage in order toA. remind readers of the past of the AntarcticB. propose a feasible approach for the ArcticC. stress the importance of preserving sea iceD. recall how the Antarctic Treaty came into being3. The word“moratorium”(in paragraph 4) is closest in meaning toA. battleB.banC. memoD.protection4.Which of the following might be the best title of the passage?A. Antarctic: a Successful Comeback?B. Sea Ice and Global WarmingC. Arctic: the Earth's FutureD. Life Without Ice?主题二——文体艺术CThe Photographer of the Year contest, supported by companies in various fields, is based in the UK and attracts worldwide photography lovers.

Shelby, the star of A Dog's Way Home," has a hard-luck tale that could top them all. Before her big break, she was living in a landfill, rooting through garbage for her next meal.Shelby's big break came in April 2017, when animal-control officer Megan Buhler was driving in Cheatham County, Tennessee. Out on an unrelated cal l, Buhler spotted and approached what she recalled was a noticeably scared puppy emerging from the dump. I knelt down and just said, Oh, come here, baby," said Buhler. She was so scared, but she came right up to me, and I was able to put her in my truck." The pair headed to the county animal shelter, where the staff began calling the new resident Baby Girl.Buhler and others didn't know that 3,200 kilometers away, Hollywood was looking for a dog to play Bella in a film written by Cathryn Michon. The fin d- -a-Bella job went to freelance trainer Teresa Ann Miller. Her mission was to search shelters nationwide for a dog that could play Bella. One day, Miller spot ted Baby Girl's adoption photo. Honestly, it was a really good picture, and she was flat- ·out smiling," Miller said. Then she met Baby Girl, and assessed her on personality and the ability to respond to simple commands. After assessment, she adopted Baby Girl from the shelter, renamed her Shelby and took her to California for training. Miller and Shelby trained for just over three months before filming began. Then they were together eachday on the set.Most of the film's reviews have praised Shelby 's performance.

But indeed it takes efforts to build them successfully. _______ Thus, when the big ones come, we will have developed the patience we need for hard times.Understand the addictive nature of anger and impatience. We, human beings, are still constructed with our old reptilian (爬行) brain that protects our physical and emotional survival. On the emotional survival side, we want our way to get ahead, to achieve, and to " look good". Let's just face it.____2___ So the first step in growing patience is to get in touch with the addictive quality of the opposite of patience -anger, impatience, blaming and shaming. We all have them. And we can grow beyond them.Upgrade our attitude towards discomfort and pain. Pain has its purposes and pushes us to find solutions- -we try to change the other person, situation or thing that we think is causing our discomfort. But the problem is that it is not the outside thing that's the source of our pain, but how our mind is set. ____3____.Pay attention when the impatience or pain starts. Most of us don't really realize it when we are feeling even the smallest -but very present--painful feelings. ____4___ But to really care for ourselves, get curious about what's actually happening at the moment inside you. Focusing on what's actually happening, you can notice the worry of not wanting what's happening, the resistance._____5___ When you find yourself impatient, or angry with yourself, you can remind yourself that you are growing, and that, " Sure, this is understandable; this is what happens to me when I'm bothered. " You can say to yourself, " It's true. I don't like this; this is uncomfortable, but I can tolerate it.'A. Practice positive self-talk.B. So the solution to pain is an inside job.C. Patience abilities benefit you in many ways.D. Learn to forgive yourself for being impatient in hard times.E. We ignore the fact that we're in pain and focus completely on fixing the problem.F. The urge to protect ourselves and what we consider valuable is absolutely habit-forming.G. Effective ways are recommended to train ourselves to work with ittle pains and annoyances.【答案】A篇【语篇解读】这是一篇议论文。

关于自然的热点话题初一英语阅读Title: The Wonders of Nature: Hot Topics for Junior High Students.Nature, the vast and diverse realm of life, is always full of surprises and mysteries. As junior high students, we are fascinated by the wonders of nature and eager to explore its secrets. In this article, we will discuss some hot topics related to nature that are of great interest to us.Climate Change.Climate change is one of the most pressing issues facing our planet today. The rise in global temperatures, melting ice caps, extreme weather events, and changes in animal habitats are all consequences of human activities such as deforestation, industrialization, and the burning of fossil fuels. As young students, we can contribute to mitigating climate change by adopting eco-friendlypractices in our daily lives, such as reducing our carbon footprint, conserving energy, and promoting sustainability.Biodiversity.Biodiversity refers to the variety of life on Earth, including the diversity of species, ecosystems, and genetic variation within species. It is crucial for maintaining the balance of nature and ensuring the survival of species. However, human activities such as habitat destruction and pollution are threatening biodiversity worldwide. We, as junior high students, can play a role in protecting biodiversity by participating in conservation efforts, such as planting trees, avoiding the use of plastics, andraising awareness among our peers about the importance of biodiversity.Ocean Conservation.The ocean covers more than 70% of the Earth's surface and is home to a vast array of marine life. However, ocean pollution, overfishing, and climate change are causingserious damage to marine ecosystems. As junior high students, we can contribute to ocean conservation by reducing our use of single-use plastics, which often end up in the ocean, and supporting sustainable fishing practices. We can also participate in beach clean-ups and raise awareness about the importance of protecting our oceans.Sustainable Agriculture.Agriculture is essential for feeding the world's population, but traditional farming methods often come with environmental costs such as soil erosion, water pollution, and biodiversity loss. Sustainable agriculture aims to produce food while protecting the environment and promoting social and economic well-being. As junior high students, we can learn about sustainable agriculture practices and encourage our families and communities to adopt them. This could include supporting organic farming, reducing food waste, and promoting local and seasonal produce.Renewable Energy.Renewable energy sources such as solar, wind, and hydroelectric power are clean and sustainable alternatives to fossil fuels. Transitioning to renewable energy is crucial for reducing greenhouse gas emissions and combating climate change. As junior high students, we can learn about renewable energy and its benefits, and encourage our families and communities to adopt renewable energy sources where possible. We can also participate in energy-saving activities at home, such as turning off lights and electronics when not in use and conserving water.In conclusion, nature is full of wonders and mysteries that inspire us to explore and learn. As junior high students, we have the opportunity and responsibility to contribute to protecting our planet and its biodiversity. By adopting eco-friendly practices, participating in conservation efforts, and raising awareness about these hot topics, we can make a difference and ensure a sustainable future for ourselves and future generations.。

There are even laws that do not let people swim in the water. 11-year-old Raphael wants to clean the river. He wants people to swim in the Seine by 2024. That is when the city will host the Olympic Games.Cleaning the river is a big job. Raphael fishes rubbish out of the river. He has done it nearly every weekend for the past two years. He fishes with his dad. They can catch a ton of rubbish in a single day. They have caught anything from phones to scooters. The biggest thing Raphael found was a motorcycle. It was so heavy that it took a team of people to pull it out.Raphael learned about cleaning rivers from YouTube. In 2019, he found a video. People were fishing metal objects out of rivers. They used ropes tied to magnets(磁铁). That Christmas, Raphael asked his parents for supplies. He wanted some ropes, a hook, and a powerful magnet. The magnet was very strong. It could attract metal objects weighing more than a ton.When he began, fishing for metal was just a lazy weekend activity. But Raphael soon saw just how much rubbish there was at the bottom of the river. He wanted to do more. It became like a full-time job,he said.Last October, Raphael won an award for his efforts. He received the Medal of Paris. Raphael is confident about his progress in the last two years. A section of the Seine is clearer than the rest of the river. That is where he first started fishing for metal.Raphael cannot clean the river alone by 2024, but he won’t give up.

One of the high-lights (亮点) of these flower beds was to make good use of garden waste.One of them was in Tian’anmen Square. Its topic was “Wonderful Winter Olympics”. The five Olympic rings and the snowflake shape were at the bottom of the flower bed. To our surprise, all of these were made from garden waste. This could not only save resources but also bring people more beauty. It was generally praised by the public.Green Olympics is one of the four main ideas of Beijing Winter Olympics. It took more than six years to prepare for the Games. In this process, the designers put the idea of green Olympics into every part. They integrated green Olympics with the city and its surroundings (环境). Green Olympics can not only makegood use of waste and protect the environment, but also be good for the future development of the city. There’s no doubt that the Winter Olympics theme flower beds, which showed the “simple, safe and wonderful” requirements for the competition, added points to the unique charm (独特魅力) of the “City of the Two Olympics”.As waste is considered as a resource that is put in a wrong place, the designers made the waste in the right place for the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympic Games. Besides, thrift (节俭) and hard work are the tradition of the Chinese nation. We also should save energy and make good use of waste in our daily life.6．What is special about the flower beds?A．The size.B．The number.C．The space.D．The material.7．What is at the bottom of the flower bed in Tian’anmen Square?①Bing Dwen Dwen ②The snowflake shape ③The Olympic flag④The five Olympic ringsA．①②B．②④C．③④D．①③8．What’s the meaning of the underlined word “integrated”?A．改变B．创造C．注意D．融合9．What tone (语气) does the writer use to write this passage？A．boring B．surprising C．serious D．proud10．What is the correct structure of the passage?

The prototype (样本) is made by a Danish company from an extra-strong paper shell that still contains a thin plastic liner (衬垫). But the goal is to create a 100% recyclable, plastic-free bottle capable of preventing gas escaping from carbonated (碳酸) drinks. The barrier must also ensure no fibers get into the liquid.That may have a risk of changing the taste of the drink—or potentially can’t meet the requirements of health and safety checks. But industry giants (巨头) are backing the plan. Coca-Cola, for example, has set agoal of producing zero waste by 2030. Coca-Colawas ranked the world’s number one plastic polluter by charity group Break Free FromPlastic last year, closely followed by other drink-producers Pepsi and Nestle.The Paper Bottle Company, or Paboco, is the Danish firm behind the development of the paper-based container. Part of the challenge has been to create a structure capable of standing the forces produced by carbonated drinks—such as cola and beer—which are bottled under pressure. On top of that, the paper needs to be mouldable to create different bottle shapes and sizes for different brands and take ink for printing their labels.After more than seven years of lab work, the firm is now ready to host a trial in Hungary this summer of Coca-Cola’s fruit drink Adez. At the beginning, this will involve 2,000 bottles sold by a local retail chain.But it is also working with others. Absolutely, the vodka maker, is due to test 2,000 paper bottles of its own in the UK and Sweden of its pre-mixed, carbonated raspberry drink. And beer company Carlsberg is also building prototypes of a paper beer bottle.Michael Michelsen, the firm’s commercial manager, says the bottles are formed out of a single piece of paper-fiber-based material to give them strength.16．What is the longer-term goal of Coca-Cola company?A．To produce drinks of other tastes.B．To stop using plastic in its packaging.C．To expand business in European countries.D．To use paper bottles with a thin plastic liner.17．What can be inferred from the text?A．Coca-Cola has very strong competitors.B．Carbonated drinks are facing stricter health and safety checks.C．Some industry giants are in favor of plastic-free packaging.D．The paper bottle company is under pressure from environmentalists.18．What does the underlined word “mouldable” in Paragraph 3 mean?A．Being hard to be printed on.B．Being able to be strengthened.C．Being able to be mixed with other materials.D．Being able to be made into different shapes. 19．What is the best title for the text?A．Drink Industry Is Turning to Paper Bottles.B．Coca-Cola Takes the Lead to Go Green.C．Paper Bottles Are in Place for the Market.D．Paper Bottle Companies Spring up Worldwide.05（2022·北京海淀·一模）阅读短文，根据短文内容回答问题。

岩画揭秘“绿色撒哈拉”The Atbai Desert, a part of the Sahara Desert, is one of the driest 1_________(place) on Earth, with a sandy and barren landscape that averages zero millimeters of rainfall each year. So, archaeologists (考古学家) were surprised when they recently discovered rock art 2__________(show) boats and cattle in an area that is 60 miles away from the closest body of water.“It was surprising to find cattle 3___________(carve) on desert rock walls as they require plenty of water and wide-open grassland, and would not survive in the dry and barren environment of the Sahara today,” said Julien Cooper, an archaeologist from Macquarie University. “The discovery of boat images in the rock art this distant from the Nile or Red Sea was also surprising.”Archaeologists believe the discovery of ancient rock art in the Sahara Desert provides clear evidence that this harsh landscape was once a far 4____________( hospitable)grassland, supporting the theory of a once “Green Sahara” around 3,000 B.C.E. During this period, the area was a grassy plain with lakes and rivers, sustaining a 5_____________(various) of wildlife and human activities such as cattle herding.6__________, changes in African monsoon (季风) patterns transformed the Sahara into the barren desert we know today. Now, only hardy animals like camels and goats can survive there.The rock art’s detailed carvings suggest that the creators 7_________(spend) plenty of time in the area, further indicating that the region was once supportive of human life. The transition from a “Green Sahara” to a barren desert changed not only the physical landscape but also the cultural and social structures of the time. As the climate grew drier, many residents were forced to migrate closer to the Nile, contributing to the formation of early urban states and culture in Egypt and Nubia.The discovery offers valuable insight into the changes that 8____________(occur) in the Sahara over thousands of years. It highlights the 9_____________(important) of studying ancient artifacts to better understand the history of our planet and the impact of climate change 10_______human civilization.参考答案：1 places 2 showing 3 carved 4 more hospitable 5 variety 6 However 7 spent 8 have occurred 9 importance 10 on超忆症：从不遗忘的能力Do you remember what you had for dinner two weeks ago today?

This rare condition allows them 2_____________(remember)numerous life experiences clearly, including specific dates, times, locations and even small details from many years ago. As of 2021, only 62 people worldwide have been identified with this3___________(able).However, memories 4________( recall) by HSAM individuals are highly self-centered: they can only remember past experiences and details about themselves. Yet their ability tomemorize impersonal information, such as random lists of words, appears to be no better than average. Unlike others with exceptional memory, HSAM individuals do not rely on specific memory strategies to remember information. Their recall is often described as an “involuntary” process, 5__________memories come to mind without effort or conscious awareness.While HSAM may seem like a desirable ability, it can also be a liability for those who possess it. People with HSAM may find 6_______ difficult to forget painful or negative experiences, which can potentially lead to 7___________(anxious) and depression. They may also struggle to remain focused 8_______ the present moment, as their minds are 9__________(constant) flooded with memories from the past.Despite brain scans 10 ____________(fail) to reveal significant physical differences, researchers believe people with HSAM possess distinct thinking patterns and habits that contribute to their remarkable memory abilities. Specifically, they show high concentration levels and a tendency for fantasy, allowing them to think about past experiences repeatedly and thereby strengthening their ability to recall memories. Unlike the average person who may experience this process after significant events, HSAM individuals do so day in and day out throughout their lives.参考答案：1 recalling 2 to remember 3 ability 4 recalled 5 where 6 it 7 anxiety 8 on 9 constantly 10 failing哥本哈根“绿色出游”新体验This summer, Europe’s most popular attractions are fighting back against overtourism (过度旅游).

These include free coffee or a lunch 5 ____________( make) rom locally sourced food, free museum tours and kayak rentals. Green actions have become a currency for enjoying Copenhagen’s free food and cultural experiences.Mikkel Aarø-Hansen, CEO of Wonderful Copenhagen, says the initiative (倡议) is not meant 6 ____________(increase) tourism but merely promotes a better way to go about it. It aims to help transform tourism from “an environmental burden” into a “force for positive change.” An important step in this transformation, he said, “is to change how we move around on the destination, what we consume, and how we interact with the locals.”According to a 2023 sustainable report by Kanter, a London-based market research group, 81% of consumers say they want to act more sustainably, 7 ________only 22% have changed their behavior.

人与自然和谐共生的英语作文新闻报道全文共6篇示例，供读者参考篇1Title: "Living in Harmony with Nature: A Lesson from Mother Earth"IntroductionHello everyone, I'm Jenny, a ten-year-old student from Sunnyville Elementary School. Today, I want to share with you an important topic: living in harmony with nature. It's essential for us to understand how we can take care of our environment and have a peaceful coexistence with Mother Earth. Let's dive into this fascinating world together!The Balance of NatureNature is like a big puzzle, where every piece plays a significant role. Just like in a game, if we remove or change one piece, the whole puzzle might fall apart. Similarly, if we disrupt the delicate balance of nature, it can have serious consequences.The Importance of BiodiversityBiodiversity, which means the variety of plants, animals, and ecosystems, is crucial for a healthy planet. Each living creature has its purpose and contributes to the ecosystem in unique ways. For example, bees help pollinate flowers, while trees provide us with oxygen. We need to appreciate and protect all forms of life on Earth.Respecting Animals and their HabitatsAnimals are our friends, and their habitats are their homes. We should treat them with kindness and respect. It's important not to harm or disturb them. Instead, we can observe them from a distance and learn about their behavior and habits. Remember, they are part of the natural beauty that surrounds us.Reduce, Reuse, RecycleAs responsible citizens, we can reduce the impact we have on the environment by practicing the three Rs: Reduce, Reuse, and Recycle. We can reduce waste by using less plastic and paper, and reuse items like water bottles and shopping bags. Recycling is another great way to protect our environment. By sorting our waste and recycling materials like paper, glass, and plastic, we can help conserve resources and reduce pollution.Conservation and PreservationPreserving nature is our responsibility. We can participate in activities like tree-planting campaigns, cleaning up beaches, or joining wildlife conservation organizations. By doing so, we actively contribute to the well-being of our planet.Learning from Indigenous CulturesIndigenous cultures have a deep connection with nature. They understand the importance of living in harmony with the environment. We can learn valuable lessons from them, such as sustainable farming practices, respecting natural resources, and living in balance with the land. Let's appreciate and learn from their wisdom.ConclusionLiving in harmony with nature is not just a responsibility; it's a gift we give ourselves and future generations. As young individuals, we have the power to make a positive impact on our environment. By respecting animals, practicing the three Rs, and learning from indigenous cultures, we can create a beautiful world where humans and nature coexist peacefully. Let's join hands and embark on this incredible journey together, for a greener and brighter future!Remember, every small step counts. Together, we can make a difference!(Word count: 470 words)篇2Title: Working Together with Nature for a Better WorldIntroductionHi there, everyone! I'm excited to share with you some amazing news about how people and nature are living in harmony. In today's article, we will explore the wonderful ways in which humans and nature are working together to create a better world. So let's dive right in!BodyProtecting WildlifeDid you know that many people around the world are doing their best to protect the amazing creatures that share our planet with us? In the Amazon rainforest, for example, scientists and local communities are working hand in hand to safeguard the diverse wildlife. They are setting up protected areas where animals can live safely and freely. These efforts ensure that futuregenerations will be able to enjoy the beauty of nature and its unique inhabitants.Planting Trees for a Greener EarthTrees are like the superheroes of our planet! They provide us with clean air, shade, and even food. That's why people from篇3Nature is Our Friend: Kids Speak Up for a Greener WorldHello friends! This is Jenny reporting live from Oakwood Elementary. Today, we're talking about something super important – protecting our beautiful planet and all the amazing plants and animals that live here with us.I got to interview some awesome kids who really care about the environment. They had so many great ideas on how we can be friends with nature instead of hurting it. Get ready to be inspired!First up is my buddy Jake, who is obsessed with bugs. "Insects are so cool and they help plants grow by pollinating the flowers," he told me. "But a lot of people spray yucky chemicals that poison the bugs. That's not nice at all!"Jake thinks we should all plant wildflower gardens to give the bees, butterflies, and other bugs yummy snacks and safe homes. "My mom grows tons of flowers and our backyard is packed with critters. They're all my pals!" What a buggy nature lover!Next, I chatted with Samantha who can't get enough of fluffy woodland creatures. "Bunnies, squirrels, deer, and other forest animals are just the cutest," she gushed. "But so many forests are being chopped down for houses, stores, and parking lots. The poor animals lose their homes and food sources."Samantha wants communities to build around existing nature areas instead of destroying them. "We need tozoning laws that keep plenty of green spaces with trees, bushes, and vegetation. That way, humans and wildlife can live side-by-side happily," she explained. What a brilliant idea!Tyler had a different eco-concern – our oceans. "Whales, dolphins, coral reefs, and sea turtles are getting really sick from all the trash and pollution in the water," he frowned. "If we keep dumping yucky stuff and don't clean it up, soon the whole ocean will be a gross trash heap."His solution? Cutting way back on single-use plastics and doing regular beach and river clean-ups. "Imagine if everyoneused reusable bottles, bags, and containers instead of throwing away billions of plastic ones," Tyler pointed out. "The oceans and sea life would be so much healthier!" Such an ocean-minded dude.I also talked to Lily, who comes from a long line of farmers. "My grandparents and great-grandparents grew all their own fruits and veggies in fields without any harsh chemicals," she told me proudly. "But nowadays, most big corporate farms use tons of artificial fertilizers and pesticides that contaminate the soil and runoff."Lily believes we need to get back to natural, sustainable farming methods that work with the land instead of destroying it. "By rotating crops, using compost, and spraying neem oil instead of chemicals, we can grow super nutritious food without harming earth's fertility." What an amazing idea for cleaner, greener agriculture!Every one of these kids taught me something new about respecting our planet and its inhabitants. Their passion for nature really blew me away. From preserving animal habitats to saving our waters to organic farming, they're proving kids can be great environmental stewards.So let's follow their lead, open our eyes to the natural wonders around us, and make some serious changes! You don't have to be a grownup to stand up for greener living. Even little kids like us can take big steps to protect the delicate balance between humans and nature.Plant a garden full of pretty blooms for pollinators, leave out seeds or nuts for furry critters, start a recycling program at school, pick up litter at the park or beach, or simply appreciate trees, birds, and changing seasons. We're all part of this incredible living ecosystem, so let's cherish it!At the end of the day, Earth is our one and only home. We need to be nice roommates to all our plant, animal, air, water, and soil neighbors. The kids I interviewed are proof that young people care deeply about environmental issues. With so many bright, enthusiastic eco-warriors like them, I'm hopeful we can make the world a cleaner, greener, safer place for every living thing.Being friends with Mother Nature isn't just a nice idea – it's an absolute must for our own survival and future generations. This planet is a mind-blowing, irreplaceable masterpiece that we're lucky to be a part of. Let's not take it for granted ormistreat it anymore. From now on, every single day should be Earth Day!This has been Jenny, signing off from this very special nature news report.

37 科学技术-2023年中考英语新热点时文阅读
2023年中考英语新热点时文阅读-科学技术01（2023·广东广州·统考一模）Traveling between Earth and space in an elevator (电梯), moving Earth away from the sun with huge engines . . . If you have watched the sci-fi blockbuster (大片) The Wandering Earth II, you must have been wowed by these amazing technologies. How far are these imaginative ideas from reality? Could we really achieve these things someday? Let’s take a look.● Earth enginesIn the movie, the sun is becoming bigger and will “eat” Earth. People plan to build tens of thousands of engines on Earth in order to push it away from the sun. The energy will come from a nuclear fusion reaction (核聚变反应). Would this be possible?Wang Teng at the Chinese Academy of Sciences told Xinhua that in theory (理论上), nuclear fusion is powerful enough to move Earth. According to Wang, controllable nuclear fusion is one of the key problems scientists all over the world are working on. In the reaction, two atoms (原子) join into a heavier one, which creates a great amount of energy. It’s the same energy that powers the sun and other stars.In December 2022, US scientists made a big breakthrough (突破). For the first time in history, theymade a nuclear fusion reaction that produced more energy than it cost. Although the energy gain (获得) was not much—only enough for boiling about 9.5 liters of water, scientists are positive they could use this reaction to produce clean energy in the future.● Space elevatorsThe space elevators in the movie look really cool. They travel fast between cables that connect Earth and the space station. According to Wang Yuanzhuo from the Chinese Academy of Sciences, this idea first came from Russian scientist Konstantin Tsiolkovsky in 1895 after seeing the Eiffel Tower in Paris. The basic idea for space elevators is to connect one end of the cable to Earth and the other end to a space station that flies at the same speed Earth rotates (旋转). But the challenge, as experts told Xinhua, is to find the right material for the cables. A carbon nanotube (碳纳米管) might work. A short tube of 1.6 grams can hold more than 800 tons, which is about 160 elephants. Since its discovery in 1991, scientists have been trying to create a tube that is as long as possible. But the longest tube was only about half a meter, developed by a team at Tsinghua University in 2013.If we can bring the design into reality, space elevators can save lots of energy and money compared with rockets. It will also make our trip to space a lot easier.1．According to Wang Teng, ________.A．moving Earth with engines is impossible in theoryB．nuclear fusion is still uncontrollable so farC．the number of engines needed to move Earth is unpredictableD．moving the sun and other stars is possible in theory2．What was the big breakthrough in nuclear fusion reaction in late 2022?A．It produced more energy than it cost.B．It produced 9.5 liters of water.C．It proved the safety of a nuclear fusion reaction.D．It produced the cleanest energy all over the world.3．Which are necessary for building a space elevator?a. The space elevator should be made of carbon nanotube.b. The cable that connects Earth and the space station is long enough.c. The space station flies at the same speed Earth rotates.d. The cable that connects Earth and the space station is strong enough.A．abc B．abd C．acd D．bcd4．What can we infer from the technologies in the movie?A．High technologies have dark sides as well.B．Environmental problems should be noticed.C．Sci-fi works are not all about imagination.D．They cannot be achieved even in theory.02（2022春·江西吉安·九年级校联考期中）We can use new ways to fight the COVID-19. Let’s meet these high-tech helpers in China!5．What can they use if the police want to find people?A．AI system.B．Smart robots.C．Drones.D．3D“Hospitals”6．What can the smart robots do in the hospital?A．Play with the patients.B．Feed medicine.C．Give directions.D．Help patients check in.7．Where may we read the above material?A．In a science magazine.B．In a novel.C．In a travel magazine.D．In a storybook.03（2023·四川成都·校考一模）Many new kinds of stationery are invented these years.

They can shoot(拍摄) competitions from different angles(角度) at the same time. Using a phone app, viewers can choose different viewing angles to watch the events. 5G technology is widely used at the games. More than 100 5G base stations have been set up. They give 5G signals(信号) in and around all of the Olympic stadiums.The highways and railways between the Beijing and Zhangjiakou competition zones also have full 5Gcoverage(覆盖). The 5G network can stand high winds and cold temperatures, down to -45℃. According to China News Service, 5G networks even bring the Beijing Winter Games to Qomolangma. 5G towers to broadcast the Beijing Winter Games are set up around the mountain. People are able to watch live broadcast of the Games from the top of the world.13．According to the passage, where are people able to watch the Beijing Winter Games by 5G? A．Houses with TV sets.B．Somewhere with a phone app.C．The top of Qomolangma with 5G towers.D．All of the above.14．What does the underlined word “broadcast” in Paragraph 2 mean in Chinese?A．预测B．转播C．探测D．画面15．The purpose of writing Paragraph 3 is to ________.A．explain how 5G works during the competitionsB．show how people shoot the competitionsC．teach how to watch the competitions with a phone appD．tell how people get 5G signals during the competitions16．What do we learn about 5G in Paragraph 4?A．All the highways and railways are covered with full 5G.B．The 5G network is able to work in somewhere hard.C．People on Qomolangma aren’t able to watch the Beijing Winter Games.D．The Olympic Games will be able to broadcast without 5G.05（2022秋·山东济南·九年级统考期中）It is often said, “You can’t live only on air.” But now the Chinese scientists can tell you: Maybe you can.Recently, some Chinese scientists have developed a new technique（技术）. They turned CO2, one of the main greenhouse gases, into starch（淀粉）.Starch is the main part of flour（面粉）and rice that we eat every day. Usually, it’s created by plants with CO2, water and sunlight. According to the team’s director Ma Yanhe, it takes the plants nearly 60 stepsto produce starch. But now, the team, after six years of hard work, has found a simpler way to do this, with only 11 steps.“Our study shows that creating something like starch is possible in a lab, and this technology may be helpful in many areas.” said Ma.The scientists first turned CO2 and hydrogen（氢气）into methanol（甲醇）. Then they pieced（分解）these methanol molecules（分子）into bigger and more complex（复杂的）molecules. Finally the starch was produced.This method makes it possible to produce food in factories, taking the place of traditional farming. This will not only help make plenty of food, but also save water and land. It may also help recycle CO2 to deal with climate（气候）change, according to China Daily.The study can be helpful in space, too. Astronauts may no longer need to worry about their food as they travel in space. They may simply turn the CO2 they breathe out into the food they eat!17．With a new technique, the Chinese scientists could turn CO2 into ________.A．air B．water C．sunlight D．starch18．Plants can create starch with _________.A．CO2 and water B．water and sunlight C．CO2, water and sunlight D．CO2 and hydrogen 19．What’s the main idea of Paragraph 5?A．How the starch was produced.B．It’s difficult to turn CO2 into the starch. C．Scientists can do complex work.D．It tells us the importance of the starch. 20．According to the last two paragraphs, the new method may not help ________.A．save water and land B．produce food in factoriesC．send astronauts into space D．recycle CO2 to deal with climate change21．The text probably comes from a ________.A．guidebook B．sports newspaper C．science magazine D．story book06（2022春·山东烟台·九年级统考期中）阅读下面短文，完成短文后的问题。

I would spend a lot of time outside there following my grandfather around while he did yard work. We would collect cool-looking rocks and refill the hummingbird feeders.I always remember my grandparents calling me over to the window when a deer family was in the yard or a few hummingbirds were at the feeders so that I could watch them. I would explore around in the yard by myself sometimes to look for interesting rocks and if I was lucky I would find a turtle. If I did find a turtle, my grandfather would put it in the kiddy pool for me to observe for a few minutes. I was always amazed by these creatures. After I finished observing the turtle, my grandfather would pick it back up and return it to the bush I found it in. I would watch in amazement as it slowly stuck its legs out and crawled back under.I always felt very at peace at my grandparents’ home. It was quiet and full of interesting natural things I never got to see in Illinois. They disturbed the land around them as little as possible and didn’t see it as nuisance (令人讨厌的东西), rather a beautiful view.As Aldo Leopold, an American scientist, puts it, we should take the time to appreciate and observe thenatural world around us. When we do this, we find it brings us happiness and has a great value beyond just that of resources. Conservation(n.保护) of the natural world is important because we are dependent upon it for life. We cannot worsen such a bountiful provider at such a rate in which it will never return to anything like what it once was. Our experiences with nature are what will drive us to reach this conclusion, if only everyone took the time to really involve themselves in it.4．What does the writer mainly talk about in Paragraph 2?A．His interest in rocks and animals.B．His connection with natural world.C．His daily routine in summer vacation.D．His close relationship with Grandparents.5．What does “a bountiful provider” refer to in the last paragraph?A．Nature.B．Illinois.C．The small forest.D．Grandparents’ home.6．What is the writer most likely to get across?A．Past experiences should be treasured.B．Nature offers man a journey of discovery.C．Quality time with family is of great value.D．Into the nature, you will know how precious it is.7．In which forum would you most likely find the text?A．Family Matters B．On the Road C．At One with Nature D．The Economist（2023·河南高三阶段练习）CThese days a green building means more than just the color of the paint. Green buildings can also refer to environmentally friendly houses, factories, and offices.Green building means “reducing the effect of the building on the land”, Taryn Holowka of the U.S. Green Building Council(评议会) in Washington, D．C．, said. According to Holowka, building accounts for 65 percent of total U.S. electricity use.But green buildings can reduce energy and water use. Also, the buildings are often located near public transportation such as buses and subways, so that people can drive their cars less. That could be good for the environment, because cars use lots of gas and give off pollution. Green buildings are often built on developed land, so that the buildings don’t destroy forests.Marty Dettling is project manager for a building that puts these ideas into action. The Solaire has been called the country’s first green high-rise building. According to Dettling, “We’ve reduced our energy use by one-thirdand our water by 50 percent.”The Solaire cuts energy in part by using solar power. “On the face of the building we have solar panels(光板) which change the sun’s energy into electricity,”Dettling explained.The Solaire also has lights that automatically turn off when people leave the room. In addition, the building has lots of windows, allowing people to use the sun for light during the day. The Solaire cuts water by reusing it.Not everyone is eager to move into a green building, however. Some people think that things like solar panels cost more money than more traditional energy sources. Anyhow, Holowka said, “It’s going to be big.”8．A green building means ________.A．a building that uses no electricityB．a building that saves energy and waterC．a building occupying less landD．a green-colored building9．A green building is often built on an area of land________.A．which has already been for buildingsB．which has thick forests aroundC．where people of high income liveD．where traveling around by car is most convenient10．When Holowka says in the last paragraph, “It’s going to be big”, she means that green buildings________. A．will be more comfortableB．will be more environmentally friendlyC．will become popular in futureD．will take the place of traditional buildings11．Which is the main idea of the passage?A．Dettling designed the first green building in the U.S.B．Energy shortage calls for buildings of new design.C．The Solaire serves as a model of high buildings.D．Green buildings help save the environment.（2023·广西桂林十八中高三开学考试）DA study has shown how ecotourism in the Philippines has changed people's attitudes towards marine conservation.Researchers from the University of Victoria and other institutes in Philippines, visited three sites wheretourists pay to swim with whale sharks in the wild. They interviewed a range of locals in Oslob, Donsol and Pintuyan, including fishers and ex-whale shark hunters. At Oslob, the largest of the three sites, people were more likely to speak about the resulting improvements to their quality of life and an increase in job opportunities. At the smaller, less profitable sites, responses were more likely to be about the changes in how people behaved towards the sharks.Dr. Jackie Ziegler, leader of the team of researchers, said, “Many of the people we spoke reported they now care about and value whale sharks because of tourism activities. They also expressed the community’s emotional connection to the species and the strong need to protect them. Before the introduction of tourist activities, most of the locals admitted to harming the sharks by hitting them with stones or riding them.” In terms of attitudes towards the wider marine environment, the majority of respondents now actively encourage others to care for the ocean and they also use more sustainable fishing practices.The study also acknowledged the potential negative effects of tourism on the marine environment, such as impacts on the health of local coral reefs and of the sharks. It concluded that further studies were needed to assess these impacts before firm conclusion could be drawn regarding the positive impact of whale sharks tourism on ocean conservation.Nevertheless, the researchers say their work suggests ecotourism can be an effective means of strengthening protection. “Bringing in the views of the local tour operation to the study was necessary in uncovering the true impact of whale shark touristm and the wider benefit to the ocean conservation in the Philippines,” Dr Ziegler added.12．What were the local people concerned least according to Paragraph 2?A．Improvement of life.B．Behaviours towards sharks.C．Increases of work chances.D．Relationships between people.13．Which word can best describe locals’ action towards marine life before ecotourism?A．Protective.B．Satisfying.C．Unsustainable.D．Beneficial.14．What will be the focus of the future research on tourism?A．Influence on other marine species.B．Strategies for carrying out marine ecotourism.C．Types of ocean conservation.D．Importance of protecting the local whale sharks.15．What may be the best title of the text?A．Ecotourism Transforms Locals’ Attitudes to Marine Conservation.B．Ecotourism Does Much Good to Marine Life as Before.C．Marine ecotourism Gives Rise to a New Kind of Business.D．Ecotourism Has Brought Large Benefits to People.二、七选五（2023·浙江·镇海中学高三阶段练习）Hope for Solving Our Seas’ ProblemsThe world’ oceans, more than 70 percent of the Earth's surface, are filled with problems: Overfishing, warming and acidifying (酸化的) waters, plastic pollution, a loss of abundance and diversity. ____16____ But it's of great importance.

2023年中考英语新热点时文阅读-科学新知01（2022·河北·衡水滨湖新区志臻中学一模）Five years is a rather short time in the long history of China. But for digital (数字的) development, a lot of changes have taken place in many aspects of our life.Nowadays, it’s normal for people to communicate on WeChat, the most popular mobile social media platform in China. People take less cash (现金) with them because most of the stores and hotels accept WeChat Pay and Alipay.In China, holding a mobile phone means having the world in your hands. You can shop, travel, communicate, have fun by using a mobile phone, and all of these tasks can be completed with a few finger taps. Without mobile phones, life would seem dull.By the end of 2016, there were 695 million mobile phone users in China, an increase of 12 percent on year-on-year basis. The average mobile Internet data traffic reached 172 megabytes per month, which was far more than the global average.At the two sessions (两会), Premier Li Keqiang pointed out that in 2017 the speed of mobile network would be increased and the cost would be reduced greatly. Mobile rates for domestic roaming (国内漫游) and long distance calls would be cancelled (取消).Meanwhile, the TD-LTE 4G communication technology developed mainly in China has been accepted and widely used across the world.In 2020, China’s 5G network is in service. It helps China’s mobile telecommunication overtake (反超) the international community’s.1．People take less cash with them because ________.A．cash isn’t useful any more B．it’s easier to use online pay by mobile phoneC．many stores refuse cash D．online pay is used in all stores and hotels2．By using a mobile phone, you can do many things EXCEPT ________.A．ordering something to eat B．chatting with friendsC．playing games D．cooking something delicious3．According to the passage, we know that ________.A．The cost of using mobile phones is lowerB．the speed of mobile network slowed downC．Chinese users will make phone calls for free in the futureD．the using of mobile phones was cancelled4．Which one is true according to the passage?A．People can’t live without mobile phones.B．The speed of mobile network and the cost would be increased greatly.C．The TD—LTE 4G communication technology is only used in China.D．China’s 5G network has already been in service.02（2022·河南·镇平县基础教育教学研究室三模）All dreaming starts with sleep. When we sleep there are four stages（阶段）that we go through.Stage One is the lightest stage of sleep. In this stage of sleep someone can be awakened by low sounds or slight touch. Stage One sleep happens through-out the night. It often reappears as a transitional state of sleep following arousal（刺激）during the night. When Stage One does reappear during sleep, it only lasts thirty seconds to one minute. Young adults spend ten to fifteen minutes a night in Stage One sleep.Stage Two sleep may have some of the slower eye movement Stage One, but in general Stage Two sleep is free of any eye movement. Another feature of stage two is arousal. Since Stage Two is a deeper sleep than Stage One, it will take more arousal to awaken a person from this stage of sleep.Stage Three sleep as well as Stage Four is usually referred to as a slow wave sleep, which basically means a slow frequency（频率）of brain thought. There are no visual eye movements in this stage. Again in Stage Three it takes even more arousal then Stage Two sleep, to awaken a person from this state of sleep. Most of the dreams remembered take place during stage Three Sleep.Stage Four sleep is the deepest of sleep. This is where the body and mind gets the most rest. Brainfrequencies increase slightly in Stage Four sleep. In this stage of sleep people begin their dreams. When a person is dreaming you can visually tell by the movement of the eyes. Scientist measure deep sleep by “R.E. M.” which simply means “rapid eye movement”. What they measure is the amount of time your eye moves in Stage Four sleep and also brain activity along with frequency. Once again much more arousal is needed to awaken a stage four sleeper.5．How long does Stage one sleep last for young adults?A．About a minute.B．About a quarter.C．About an hour.D．About a night.6．What can we know from Paragraph 3?A．Eyes don’t move in stage 2 sleep.B．Stage 1 sleep is lighter than stage 2 sleep.C．Stage 3 sleep is referred to as a slow wave sleep.D．Stage 4 sleep is the deepest of sleep.7．In which stage does the body and mind get the most rest?A．Stage 1 sleep.B．Stage 2 sleep.C．Stage 3 sleep.D．Stage 4 sleep.8．Which of the following shows the structure of the whole text?A．B．C．D．9．What’s this reading about?A．What does dreaming start with.B．What your dreams are telling you.C．What stages of sleep we go through.D．What kinds of dreams do we have.03（2022·河北·唐山市凤凰中学一模）It’s a common belief that fish can’t remember anything for longer than seven seconds. It may seem sad to think that every moment in their lives would be like seeing the world for the first time. But don’t be so quick to feel sorry for them. A new study has found that fish have muchbetter memories than we used to think.In the study, researchers from Mac Ewan University in Canada trained a kind of fish called African cichlids to go to a certain area of their tank to get food. They took the fish out and then waited for 12 days before putting them back in the tank again. They found that after such a long break the fish still went to the same place where they first got food.In fact, scientists had been thinking for a long time that African cichlids might have a good memory. But there was no clear evidence until the latest findings.Just as a good memory can make our lives easier, it also plays an important part when a fish is trying to survive in the wild. “If fish are able to remember that a certain area contains (容纳) safe food, they will be able to go back to that area without putting their lives in danger,” lead researcher Trevor Hamilton told Live Science.So next time you are watching your pet fish from outside the tank, perhaps you should feel close to them — they may remember who you are.10．We often feel sorry for fish because ________.A．they have bad memories B．they can’t remember anythingC．they are often used for research D．every moment in their lives is new11．Why did the researchers carry out the research?A．To know if fish can find food easily.B．To find out if fish have better memories.C．To tell us fish can live for days without water.D．To show fish can live long without eating things.12．What does the underlined word “tank” in Paragraph 2 mean?A．A kind of fish food.B．A kind of hiding place.C．A container for holding water.D．A container for keeping fish.04（2021·福建·上杭县教师进修学校九年级期中）Have you ever splashed(溅洒) water onto your shirt right before an important event? Usually, clothes become darker in color when they get wet. It would certainly be nice if the water didn’t change the color of the clothes so much. But sadly, this isn’t how things work. So why do clothes often appear darker when they get wet.Before understanding this question, we should first take a quick look at how we “see” colors. Take a red shirt as an example. When it’s hit by the light from the sun, it takes in different wavelengths(波长) of light, except for the red light wavelength. The red light wavelength is reflected to our eyes. That is why the shirt appears red to us.Now let’s return to the wet shirt. When the light hits a wet shirt, it has to pass through the water on the shirt. The light that should be reflected by the shirt re-absorbed(重新吸收) by the water. This means less light will be sent to our eyes. As a result, the shirt looks “darker”.But remember: sometimes a wet shirt can seem brighter when viewed from a certain angle. The surface of the shirt is usually rough (粗糙的). Adding water to it makes it smoother. A smooth surface reflects light in a different way from a rough surface. Thus, you may see a small and bright reflection of the light from a certain angle. So basically, a wet shirt will be darker than a dry one, but it can also appear more “shiny” at times.13．How does the writer explain how we “see” colors?A．By showing a fact.B．By raising a question.C．By giving an example.D．By showing his experience.14．What does the underlined word “reflected” in Paragraph 2 mean in Chinese?A．穿透B．中断C．接收D．反射15．What will happen after the light passes through the water on the shirt?A．More light will be sent to our eye.B．Certain light will be re-absorbed by the water. C．The water on the shirt will be absorbed.D．The light reflected by water will be reduced. 16．What can we know from the last paragraph?A．You can make your shirt more rough by adding water to it.B．The light on a smooth surface reflects is different from light on the rough one reflects.C．From different angles, some small and bright reflection of the light can be seen.D．It is unusual to see a wet shirt is darker than a dry one in our daily life.17．Which picture shows the structure (结构) of the passage?A．B．C．D．05（2022·河南·辉县市教育局教学研究室二模）Time files when you play on your smartphone. But when you get down to the real business of work and study, one hour feels like a year. Why are we so attracted by smartphones but easily bored by studying?It all bolls down to something small and hard to see: dopamine（多巴胺）. Dopamine is a “pleasure chemical” that makes people feel good. Our brains give it out when we eat yummy food, after we exercise or when we get a prize.Compared with studying, playing on smartphones causes our brains to give out more dopamine. For example, checking your phone for a text leads to a 400 percent increase in dopamine. But why?When we visit social media, we don’t know what we’ll see next, or who will give opinions about things we post（发布）. This “magic of maybe”, makes the dopamine system active. We get excited wondering if we have messages from our friends. When our expectations（期待）are met, dopamine is given out.And to find more dopamine, we continue checking our phones. Studying doesn’t provide such magic. Without this excitement, we get bored much more easily.Can we do something to change that? According to scientists, apps can become less attractive if we turn off notifications（通知）or change the screen colors to black and white. We can also set time limits on apps to avoid using them too much.As for studying, you could check your progress daily or weekly and reward yourself for it, said Daniel Wong, writer of The Happy Student. You could also search for interesting topics connected with your textbook. Use what you’ve learned to make an influence in the real world. This will make knowledge much more interesting to learn.18．According to the article, what are students like when they study?A．They get very attracted.B．They are getting happier.C．They feel time pass more slowly.D．Their brain give out more dopamine.19．What might the phrase “boils down to” mean in Paragraph 2?A．works out B．turns out C．leads to D．results from20．When do people have more dopamine?A．When they know what will happen next.B．When they stay in a familiar environment.C．When their expectations are met.D．When they face fewer unknown things.21．What is paragraph 4 about?A．It introduces a way to get more messages from our friends.B．It gives an example of spending time happily on social media.C．It describes how scientists discover the way dopamine works.D．It explains why playing on smartphones causes more dopamine.22．Which of the following might Daniel Wong suggest to make learning interesting?A．Setting time limits on everything you do.B．Stopping playing and finding more interests in real life.C．Using what you learn from textbooks to do things in real life.D．Reading the interesting part in your textbooks before reading the others.参考答案：1．B2．D3．A4．D【导语】本文介绍了中国数字化的发展，数字化给中国人民的生活带来非常大的便利，中国也在促进5G通信技术的发展。
