（现代科技）李仕才【话题导读】灯柱伞是一种有雨水感应伞的灯柱，这样人们在忘记带雨伞时就不会挨淋了。
LampbrellaYou can’t always predict a heavy rain or remember your umbrella. ①But designer Mikhail Belvacv doesn’t think that forgetting to check the weather forecast before heading out should result in you getting wet. That’s why he created lampbrella, a lamp post with its own rain sensing umbrella.The designer says he ②come up with the idea after watching people get wet on streets in Russia. “Once, I was driving on a central Saint Petersburg street ad saw the street lamps ③lighting up people trying to hide from the rain. I thought it would be appropriate to have a canopy built into a street lamp.” he said.The lampbrella is a standard-looking street lamp fitted with an umbrella canopy. It has a built-in electric motor which can open or close the umbrella ④on demand. Sensors then ensure that the umbrella offers p edestrians shelter whenever it starts raining.⑤In addition to the rain sensor, there’s also a 360° motion sensor on the fiberglass street lamp which detects whether anyone’s using the lampbrella. After three minutes of not being used the canopy is closed.According to the designer, the lampbrella would move at a relatively low speed, so as not to cause harm to the pedestrians. Besides, it would be grounded to protect from possible lighting strike. Each lampbrella would offer enough shelter for several people. Being installed at 2 meters off the ground, it would only be a danger for the tallest of pedestrians.While there are no plans to take lampbrella into production, Belyacv says he recently introduced his creation one Moscow Department, and insists this creation could be installed on my street where a lot of people walk but there are no canopies to provide shelter.灯柱伞你不会每次都预测到大雨到来或者记得带上雨伞。

根据短文内容，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳答案。
AArtificial intelligence(AI，人工智能)can help us make phone calls. It can guide us to where we want to go. It can play games. And now，AI can do even more things.Researchers from Microsoft have created the first machine translation system that can translate news articles from Chinese to English.The researchers tested the system by asking it to translate hundreds of sentences taken from news stories. Then，language experts compared the results to the translation that were done by humans. The experts said that the system's translations were as good as the human translations.Experts used several methods to improve the system's translation abilities. “Much of our research is really learned from how we humans do things，” lead researcher Liu Tieyan said.One method is called dual learning(对偶学习). In this method，the system translates every sentence from Chinese to English，as well as translates the sentences back from English into Chinese. This way，the system can improve itself and learn from its own mistakes. This is similar to what humans do to make sure their translations are exact.Another method makes use of deliberation networks(推敲网络)．The researchers taught the system to repeat the process of translating the same sentence over and over. Gradually，the system can improve the quality of its translations. This is similar to how people correct their own writing by going through it again and again.( )1.

We see it any place we go and， in fact， almost all of us carry some piece oftechnology with us every time we leave the house. What I always forget， though， is just how useful and powerful technology can be when we want to help othersThere is not a single room in my house that does not have some electronic devices（设备） lying around init. Whenever I am at home， I am almost always using at least one electronic device. If you walked into my living room on any given day， you would find that， first， I have the television on. At the same time， I usually have my laptop resting on my knee， or I will be using my mobile phone， Even when i＇m not at home I am always using my phone， and at work or in cafes， I sit down and connect to the local wireless network on myopic.I must say that I waste a lot of time on the computer and the time I spend on it could be much better spent if I were to take up a little online volunteeringThe technology we carry about everywhere can have a great power to do good for the world and to help others and recently I discovered just how much online volunteering there is to do in the world. From using your language skills to do translations， to developing and managing projects and helping with IT work， there is so much that so many people can do to help people in their own countries and across the world. The United Nations， in fact， has a huge page with ＂Volunteers Recruited＂ on its website.This work can support the poor and help charities who cannot pay for staff. Many organizations only require you to work an hour a week-some even less. And the support provided by online volunteers can really help make a difference to those in need.( )1.

Online TranslationDDo you find it difficult to put down your mobile phone?If yes，you're not alone. These days，many people are facing the stress in the use of mobile phones. They reach for their mobile phones when they wake up in the morning，and keep checking their social media apps to get the latest updates(更新)．A report from Google shows that 70 percent of people don't want to spend much time on their phones. This is why Google introduced an app called Dashboard for the new Android operating system(安卓操作系统). This new app includes functions(功能) that help users manage the time. For example，users can see how many times they've unlocked their phone，how many times they've checked their social media apps，and how much time they spend on each app every day.Once the users see this information，they'll be able to make some changes. With the App Timer(计时) function，users can set a time limit for how long they can use each app for every day. After they've hit the limit，they won't be able to use the app until the next day. And with another function，the app gets incoming calls silent when the user puts the phone face down.If people truly want to make full use of their free time instead of losing hours on their phones，these new functions are just one way of doing that.After all，who needs to use an app to stop you from using other apps? The easiest answer would be just to use your willpower.( )1. Where does the users' stress come from?A. Too many updates of the apps.B. Too many functions of the apps.C.

It needs more functions.D. It has too many functions.EShyness can be an unhappy feeling. But the good news is, you're not alone. Scientists say that more than 40 percent of teenagers and adults consider themselves shy. Shyness is feeling a little nervous or as if you want to hide when you're around other people or in a new situation.___ Scientists say such things as genetics（遗传基因）， life experiences， and environment can influence whether a person is shy. For example, in some families, everybody seems to be shy.What happens if you are shy? Well, being shy may cause you to avoid or miss opportunities you would enjoy. How do people overcome (克服)shyness? This is what Gilbert tells us. "When I started off trying to get over being shy, I decided to do little steps at a time, including practicing smiling and saying hi to people. And it worked for me. “But shyness is not the kind of thing that most people can get over overnight. Overcoming shyness take time and needs practice.Here are some tips given by scientists.Think of what to talk about before you leave home. Prepare things to talk about before you're in a social situation. For example, if you know your classmates are interested in an upcoming event, learn about it so you can join in the conversations.Let people know you're shy. If you're shy, just show it. Instead of letting people guess, tell them the truth. Explain that you are shy and feel nervous but enjoy talking to people.Make things easy for the other person. Remember, you’re not the only shy person around. Do what you think might help others feel good-for example, say hello or smile.Pick one social skill to practice at a time. Start simply. For example, smile or be the first person to say hi. Choose skills you feel comfortable enough with to practice for a day, a week, a month, or even a year.( )1. Which of the following can be put in the blank in Paragraph2?A. What is shyness?B. What makes people shy?C. Can shyness be good for us?D. Can we overcome shyness?( )2. The example of Gilbert in Paragraph 4 is given to _____.A. show how people overcome shynessB. introduce a shy girl called GilbertC. tell the right time to practice smilingD. explain the steps of overcoming shyness( )3. What does the underlined word "overnight" in Paragraph 5 most probably mean?A. Correctly.B. Suddenly.C. Slowly.D. Finally.( )4. Which of the following is the right way to overcome shyness?A. Don’t let others know that you are shy.B. Wait for others to say hello to you first.C. Choose several skills to practice at a time.D. Get ready before you join in a social situation.FPossible EarthLike Planet Next DoorScientists say they discovered an earthlike planet outside our solar system(太阳系). It is a planet that could support life.This planet is just 4.2 light years away from us. It is so close that space scientists have considered it as a next door neighbor. They say it could be reached by an unmanned spaceship before the end of the century—in time for people alive today to see it.An international team of scientists found the planet moving around the star called “Proxima Centauri”. The result came out last month from the scientific magazine Nature.Scientists have long thought that a planet with water is important for life. And it has to be neither too hot nor too cold. The newlydiscovered planet is a little larger than earth. Scientists have named it Proxima B. It moves around its sun，Proximal Central once every 11 days.American scientists have been using instruments for years to look for earthlike planets. In 2013，scientists' best guess was that there are about one billion(1,000 million) “earths” in space.Alan Boss is the chairman of a group for outer space research. He said that Proxima B not only confirms(确认) the discovery of a planet，but also increases the number of other possible “earths” greatly.Boss said it is possible，even likely，that most stars have at least one earthlike planet，which he considers surprising.So from the early number of a billion，this new research suggests there may be as many possibleearthlike planets as there are stars in the Galaxy(银河系). That is，anywhere from 250 billion to 500 billion“earths”．This makes the possibility of living things increasingly likely. Boss said he believes human beings will be able to show that there is life in places besides earth in his lifetime. “I am 65，” he said，“ but I expect to still be alive when it happens.”( )1. When will it be possible for an unmanned spaceship to reach Proximal B?A. In about eighty years.B. In about 4.2 years.C. In about eleven day.D. In about one billion years.( )2. In the fourth paragraph，the writer thinks that ________ is necessary for life.A. waterB. lightC. airD. wind( )3. What does the underlined word “This” stand for in the last paragraph?A. Scientists have discovered an earthlike planet last month.B. There are far more earthlike planets than people thought.C. Proximal B is not far from earth and is just like our neighbor.D. The Galaxy will be the only place for living things to live in.( )4. What does Alan Boss mean by saying “but I expect to still be alive when it happens”？A. His health is in good state and he's sure he will live a long life.B. Science is developing much faster than ever in recent years.C. Scientists may soon find fact that there's life on other planets.D. America is far ahead of other countries in space research.GBeauty sleep is a real thing, researches have shown that people who have enough sleep look more attractive (有魅力的) to others.A few bad nights is enough to make a person look "especially" more ugly, their sleep experiments show.The researchers asked 25 university students to join in their sleep experiment. They were asked to get a good night's sleep for two nights.A week later, they were asked to sleep for only four hours every night for two nights in a row.The researchers took make-up free (素颜) photos of the volunteers after both the good and the bad sleep.Next, they asked 122 strangers to have a look at the photos and judge (评价) them on attractiveness, health, and sleepiness, as well as asking them: "How much would you like to make friends with this person in the picture?"The strangers were good at judging if the person they were looking at was tired, and, if they were sleepy, their attractiveness score was low.The strangers also said they wouldn't want to socialize with the tired students. The researchers say this is natural for people. An unhealthy-looking face makes people run away. In other words, people don't want to hang around with people who might be ill.Dr. Brewer, an expert at the University of Liverpool said "Judgement of attractiveness is often unconscious (无意识的), hut we all do it, and we are able to judge on even something small like whether someone looks tired or unhealthy. This study is a good reminder of how important sleep is to us." ( )1. When did the researchers take make-up free photos?A. After two nights good sleep.B. After two nights bad sleep.C. Before the experiment.D. After both two nights good sleep and two nights' had sleep.( )2. The researchers asked the strangers to do the following except _______.A. telling who looked healthierB. telling who didn't have many friendsC. telling who missed a lot of sleepD. telling who was attractive( )3. What kind of friends did the strangers like to make?A. The people who were tired.B. The people who were sleepy.C. The people who were unhealthy.D. The people who were attractive and energetic.( )4. What does the underlined word "socialize "mean in Chinese?A. 合伙B. 玩耍C. 交往D. 共事( )5. According to the passage, which of the following is the best title?A. Beauty sleep, More attractiveB. More sleep, More FriendsC. Less sleep, Fewer friendsD. No attractiveness, No friendsHImagine having a simple app(应用程序) that works like this: When you need help，just open the app，touch the “not OK” button and a text message will be sent to five preselected(预先选定的) people，along with a location(位置) to show where you are. The message reads，“Hey，I'm not OK. Please call me，text_me，or come to find me.”US teenagers Hannah Lucas,15，and her brother Charlie,13，have created an app called not OK. People just need to pay $1.99(12.5 yuan) each month to use it.Hannah was inspired(启发) to create the app during a dark time in her life last year. She suffered from a disease that caused her to pass out at school. Other kids sometimes bullied(欺凌) her about this. She felt sad and wanted to find an app that would allow her to get help when she wasn't feeling OK.She asked her brother Charlie，whose nickname is “Tech Support”，to find such an app. When they couldn't find one，they decided to create one themselves.They came up with some designs for the app first. Charile took a programming class last summer and built a website for the app. Hannah also shared her idea in her summer business class. Some app developers showed interest and decided to help her. At last，the app came out in the US and Canada on January 31.Hannah is happy that her app is helping others. “It makes everything I went through last year worth it，” she said.( )1．Who will know you're in trouble when you touch the “not OK” button?A.

Influenced by the launch of the first manned mission to Mars next month，you will most likely get a gift card for a space trip.The interest in trips,100km above the surface of the Earth，has grown steadily since such a trip began. However，the market has grown much larger this year since the official announcement of the Mars mission. More lowcost space-lines have entered the market and you can now find flights for such a trip for as low as $3,495. It's very reasonable.Space tourism(旅游业；观光业)is one of the markets that have developed fast during the last decade，with the opening of the Star bright Hotel on the moon as well as the low orbital hotels that started accepting guests. However，accommodation in space is still expensive for the average household，so the suborbital(亚轨道的) flights with thirtyminute weightlessness during the threehour flight will for some time be the most popular trip.However，the space-lines might in the future face fierce competition between space elevators(太空升降舱)，like the one that is projected to start construction within two years. Once it is fully functional，it will start to ship cargo to space. But it will accept passengers as soon as possible to get back the large investment. Even if the elevator becomes successful，it will take several years before there are more elevators in the world to get in the competition for space traffic with the space-lines.Those who are looking for a little bit of adventure and have extra money to spend may want to considera suborbital flight in space. While a suborbital flight may not be the space mission that you have always dreamed of，it will give you the rare opportunity to see what our planet looks like in a highaltitude flight outside our atmosphere. So before you enjoy a trip by elevator to space，enjoy a suborbital flight first.( )1. From Paragraph 1，what will happen in January,2031?A. A gift card will be taken to Mars.B. Mars will be explored for the first time.C. Man will go to Mars for the first time.D. An affordable space trip will come true.( )2. The underlined “average” can most probably be replaced by “________” in this passage.A. commonB. highincomeC. lowcostD. lowincome( )3. What is the space elevator's purpose in accepting passengers as soon as possible?A. To ship cargo to space.B. To get in the competition between space-lines.C. To start the construction of more space elevators.D. To get back the large investment.( )4. Which of the following is NOT TRUE according to the passage?A. Space tourism has developed fast during the last ten years.B. A suborbital fight may be the space mission that you have dreamed of.C. The suborbital flights will be the most popular trip for some time.D. Even though the elevator becomes successful，we still wait for a few years to see more elevators come out.( )5. We can know from the passage that________.A. the low orbital hotels have opened since a space trip beganB. within two years，space elevators will begin to ship cargo and people to spaceC. during the suborbital fights，you will experience 30 minutes weightlessnessD. if you want to meet your curiosity，you may try a suborbital fightKThere's much to see under the sea，but you need to remember that light behaves differently in water than in air. The objects appear closer to you than they exactly are. You might find yourself reaching out of to touch something and completely missing it.Objects under water will appear larger than they would on the surface，too. Be careful not to tell any stories about the big fish that got away. That fish might not be so big after all! It's just because sometimes things can seem to be as much as about 33 percent bigger in water!What's more，in deeper water，colors just don't seem as bright. In fact，it looks as if some colors are missing. Remember the color of an object results from the wavelengths(波长) of light that are reflected (反射) from its surface. And light is taken in as it moves down through the water.Swimmers wear wet suits to keep warm underwater. Let's take a bright red，yellow，and blue wet suit as an example. These colors are hard to miss on the surface of water. Watch carefully the changes in color as you descend in the water. The red part now looks almost black because the red light wavelengths，the longest among these three colors，are missing. As you go down deeper，the same thing will happen to the yellow part and in the end to the blue part. Even at a place of about 6 to 9 meters underwater，you will look terrible，like a ghost(鬼怪)! And you have to wait for your return to the surface to enjoy the bright colors again.( )1. You miss the object under water when you want to touch it because ________.A. your eyesight is quite poorB. you are not quick enoughC. it is not as close as it seemsD. it disappears very quickly( )2. The example of the wet suit is used to explain the change of ________ of an object underwater.A. the sizeB. the colorC. the positionD. the weight( )3. The underlined word “descend” probably means “________” in Chinese in this passage.A. 上升B. 酒污C. 屏息D. 下潜( )4. Which of the following is true?A. A fourmeterlong fish looks three meters long underwater.B. The wavelengths of red light are longer than those of blue light.C. Much water will be taken in by the swimmer deep in the wave.D. You will see a ghost if you go as deep as 6 to 9 meters into the sea.( )5. The best title of this passage is ________.A. The Standard of Color UnderwaterB. The Direction of Light UnderwaterC. The Brightness of Color UnderwaterD. The Behavior of Light UnderwaterLArtificial intelligence(人工智能)，or AI in short，is the science of giving computers and machines ability to think and work like humans. AI scientists and engineers have made a lot of cool technologies.AI is rapidly catching up with the human ability to read faces. As a result，facial recognition(识别) is used a lot in the world. Chinese police use this technology to identify criminals(罪犯). Once they caught a criminal when he attended a concert. It also checks the ID of ridehailin g(网约车) drivers and lets people pay for things with a smile.AI is also used in selfdriving cars，which are believed to be the future of driving. Most drivers may wave or nod at passersby to let them cross the street，but selfdriving cars don't have this a bility. Carmakers are testing a light signal system to help them “speak” to humans. The system can show what。

It drives itself.The self-driving（自驾的）car hasn’t been on sale to the public, so we don’t know how much it costs. Another thing that most people want to know is whether it will be safe enough to run on the road.The self-driving car uses electricity as its power, and it can’t drive very quickly—the top speed would be 25 miles per hour. It is actually controlled by a computer system in the car. The system keeps on collecting information by some video cameras inside the car. A computer receives the information and decides what to do.“The self-driving car has only buttons ( 按钮) for go and stop, so it’s very easy to use,” an engineer of Google says, “It will make car accidents less and the world safer.” The self-driving car has traveled hundreds of thousands of miles in California, and it has only gotten into two accidents by human mistake.1.Can the new smart car run on the road without a driver?— 1 —3.Please give a title in English for Paragraph 3. （In no more than SEVEN words.）4.What is the self-driving car controlled by?5.Who says “It will make car accidents less and the world safer.”?【主旨大意】本文是一篇说明文。

【新人教】2019年中考英语复习阅读理解训练题10附答案【能力选练】APeople often think of the North Pole(北极)and the South Pole as similar frozen(冰冻的)wastelands.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 above32°F,at which water turns into ice.Most of the time,it stays below zero.In winter temperatures are usually as low as-30°F.Although conditions were very poor,people tried for many centuries to reach the North Pole.About100years 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.There are few things more dangerous than crossing the Arctic(北极圈)on foot.People who stayed there may face many problems:very cold temperatures,sudden storms,and even hunger. Most of the area is uninhabited.Few people can live in such a difficult place.People might think that with such low temperatures for most of the year,the ice would be thick and hard.However,this is not true in the Arctic.The movement of the ocean water under the ice may often cause many different changes on the surface.Sometimes the ice breaks into two opening lanes of water(水道)called“leads”.Anyone who falls into a lead can be frozen to death in a few minutes.1．This passage is probably from___________.A．a book review B．a science bookC．a school report D．a computer magazine2．According to the passage,what happened about100years ago?A．Two men succeeded in getting to the North Pole.B．Temperatures in the North Pole went above32°F.C．The environment in the North Pole suddenly became worse.D．The North Pole changed into thick ice because of the temperatures.3．What does the underlined word“uninhabited”probably mean in Chinese?A．气候恶劣的B．充满危险的C．困难重重的D．无人居住的4．The reason for the ice to break into two opening lanes of water is_____________. A．that the temperature suddenly drops B．that the water under the ice is frozenC．that the ocean water under the ice moves D．that the surface is covered with lots of ice5．What does this passage mainly talk about?A．The thick ice in the North Pole.B．A difficult trip to the North Pole.C．The real situation in the North Pole.D．The differences between the North Pole and the South Pole.【解析】试题分析：本文是一篇科普文，介绍了北极点的有关情况。

阅读理解(七)科技说明A[2019·原创]Many people hope to visit the White House in person some day in the future. But most people will never get a chance to go inside the White House, the famous home of the President of the United States.Luckily, there is a new app that can bring the White House to life for anyone with a smartphone equipped for computer programs.To experience this famous building, you just need your smartphone and a one-dollar bill.The new app is called 1600, which makes one think of the real street address of the White House, 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, in Washington D.C.The 1600 app creates a small White House on your smartphone. After downloading(下载) it, you only need to point the camera on the phone at one dollar to start the experience.The dollar then changes into a three-dimensional(三维的) model of the White House before your eyes. It creates images having length, width and height. When the smartphone is moved around, the images of the building also change.The US former(前任的) President Barack Obama’s Press Secretary, Josh Earnest, provides explanation as part of the app. He provides lots of the historical information about the White House, talks about how the building is used today and describes some events held there.The app shows some of the changes on the White House grounds around the year. You can watch the Easter Egg Roll in spring and see a formal arrival(来访) ceremony for a foreign leader.What’s more, there is even a hidden surprise to catch if you touch on the Oval Office. That’s really cool!“We hope you enjoy and share this new way of having a look inside the White House,” Josh Earnest said.The new app is the latest way that the government has used technology as an educational tool. This time it gives people all over the world the chance to visit “The People’s House”.。

2019年中考英语阅读理解真题汇编(带详细解析过程)(名师精讲解题方法与技巧+实战训练，建议下载练习)【考点分析】阅读理解旨在考查学生阅读、理解的能力。
近几年来，中考英语题中的阅读理解材料新颖，题材丰富，考查学生综合推断能力、根据语篇猜单词意思的能力的力度加大，考查学生关注细节的能力占很大部分。
所以学生往往要么没能正确理解语篇中某些句子的意思，在细节题上丢分，要么就是对语篇的整体把握不够，在综合题或者推断题方面丢分。
那么到底怎么做好阅读理解这一题型呢？一、解题思路（一）先读问题，弄清考查要点，以便能带着问题看文章，这样会心中有数，有的放矢。
（二）快速浏览全文，掌握全貌，注意发现与问题有关的信息，如果时间紧，至少要扫视一下起首段和尾段。
再把标题和文章内容结合起来想一想，这样全文大意便清楚了。
此时，不要忙于答题。
（三）细读原文，捕捉相关信息词，掌握短文细节内容。
这是解题的关键，应特别注意以下几点：1．抓住四个"W"和一个"H"，就是边读边用铅笔做些标记，把What (事件)，When （时间），Where（地点），Why（原因），How（经过）划出来。
抓住了四个“W”和一个“H”，就抓住了文章的全貌，一些直接性的问题便可解决。
2．抓住连接词及起关键作用的副词、代词、介词、插入语等。
因为这些词具有因果，让步，递进，转折，指代，列举及承上启下等各种连接上下文的特殊功能。
这对考生分清文章层次，辨明各种关系，了解人物心理，推断作者意图，进行逻辑推理等手段来分析难点，都具有举足轻重的作用。
3．注意领会文章的寓意。
4．根据题意，初选答案。
这一步须仔细审题，领会测试要求，确定解题方法。
对那些明显的，有把握的题可以断然确定，不必把其余三个答案再作推敲而浪费时间：有些略难的题，应再查阅短文（不是重读一遍），迅速找出依据，予以排除。
常用的解题方法有如下几种：①直接解题法。
即从原文中直接找出答案。

2019年中考英语阅读理解15篇专项练习(名师精选试题+实战训练，建议下载练习)一．阅读理解（共15小题）1．In order to tell you what I believe，I must bring up something from my personal history．The turning point of my life was my decision to give up my business job and study music．My parents，although sharing my love of music，didn't think it was a good choice that I took up music as a job．Considering my family background，this was understandable．My grandfather had taught music for nearly forty years at Spring Hill College in Mobile，and though he was much loved by his students，he didn't earn（挣钱）enough to provide for his large family．As a result of this example in the family，my parents strongly asked me to go to the college instead of a conservatory（音乐学院）of music although I loved my violin and spent most of my spare time practicing．Before my graduation from Columbia，the family ran into some money problems and I felt it was my duty to leave college and take a job．That was why I took a business job，which I always think of as the wasted years．I went into it for money，for being able to help the family．Money is all I go out of it．It was not enough．I felt that life was passing me by．My wish was to save enough to quit （退出）and then go to

of livingC．couldn't find his place in a new environmentD．felt free because he was doing what he loved（4）Which of the following can be the best title for the passage？A．My personal life．B．My successful business job．C．My "foolish" decision．D．My study experience in Europe．2．Hi，I'm Brian．This is the photo of my family．My grandfather is in the middle behind me．The one standing next to him is my uncle．A

blue bus．At the first bus stop many people get on the bus．When he drives on，he begins talking，"It is seven now．The sky is blue．It will not rain today．We all like sunshine，don't we？"At one stop a very old man gets on，"This boy will be good to give you his seat，" Scott says．The boy's face turns red．He stands up at once．"Most people want to be nice，" Scott tells the old man．"They want to do the right

The Sapanish La Liga soccer club has offered to fly Muniz to Spain in September，where he'll be able to show off his "fancy footwork" and meet his idol，Barca soccer player Lionel Messi．Muniz wears a

These dreams can be very big, such as winning the Nobel Prize; they can also be small, such as becoming one of the best students in your class.Once you find a dream, what do you do with it? Do you ever try to make your dream real?Andrew Matthews, an Australian writer, tells us that making your dreams real is life’s biggest challenge. You may think you’re not very good at some school subjects, or that it’s impossible for you to become a writer. Those kinds of ideas stop you from realizing your dream.In fact, everyone can realize his dream. The first thing you must do is to remember what your dream is. Don’t let it leave your heart. Keep telling yourself what you want every day and then your dream will come true faster. You should know that a big dream is, in fact, made up of many small dreams.You must also never give up your dream. There will be difficulties on the road to your dreams. But the biggest difficulty comes from yourself. You need to decide what is the most important. Studying instead of watching TV will help you to get better exam results, while saving five yuan instead of buying an ice cream means you can buy a new book.As you get closer to your dream, it may change a little. This is good as you have the chance to learn something more useful and find new hobbies.1. Which of the following isn’t mentioned in this passage?A.

2019年中考真题英语分项汇编（一）【2019 •重庆市中考】Cinyee Chiu, an artist from Taiwan, is always happy to try something new. Her amazing works won lots of prizes. Among them, ＂24 Solar Terms(节气)＂is the most popular.Ancient Chinese divided a year into 24 parts according to the changes of the weather. It’s the 24 solar terms. But not everyone knows them well. Cinyee Chiu put the 24 solar terns in pictures to help people understand them better.Cinyee turned each solar term into an animal. But these animals are not just animals. You can also find seasonal fruits, vegetables or beautiful flowers on them.When spring comes, water gets warm and fish start to swim around. So Cinyee chose fish as a symbol of Start of Spring. Also, she drew spring vegetables, Chinese chives on the back of the fish.White Dew falls on about Sept. 8. It shows the beginning of the cool autumn. There are colorful leaves and cooler nights at this time of year. As the temperature falls, white dew(露珠) is often seen on the grass and trees at night. For White Dew, Cinyee chose a raccoon—a small animal with thick hair. She drew white spots(小圆点) on the raccoon to show dew.

The radio telescope thus appeared, and it is considered one of t he greatest inventions in the twentieth century. Reber built the world’s first radio telescope in 1937. Ryle and Hewish developed radio telescope systems for the location of weak radio sources, and they shared the Nobel Prize for Physics in 1974.A radio telescope is usually made up of:One or more antennas to collect the radio waves. Most antennas are made in the shape of a dish to collect and reflect, the radio waves to the sub-reflector, in the same way as a curved mirror focuses visible light to one point.A receiver and amplifier to receive the radio waves from the sub-reflector, and make these weak radio waves strong enough to be recorded and turned into electronic signals. To make an amplifier sensitive enough, it is usually cooled to, very low temperatures (e. g. as low as -270℃）.A recorder to keep a record of the electronic signals. Most: radio telescopes today keep the signals to the computer’s memory disk for astronomers to analyze later.Radio wavelengths are much longer than those of visible light, and the radio waves from deep space are always weak. To catch Radio wavelengths are much longer than those of visible light, and the radio waves from deep spaceare always weak. To catch these waves, radio telescopes usually have huge antennas. The sizes of most antennas in use today are around 50 to 300 metres in diameter. The antenna of FAST in Guizhou, China, the latest and largest radio telescope in the world, is 500 metres in diameter, as large as the size of 30 football fields.To avoid interferences, and keep the telescopes sensitive, radio telescopes are built in places where there are no human radio waves or electronic signals. For example, FAST is 5 kilometres away from the closest village and 25 kilometres away from the nearest town.Radio telescopes create pictures of the sky, not in visible light, but in radio waves. This is extremely useful, because there are objects that can’t be seen, objects that we wouldn’t even know without radio telescopes.5. Radio telescopes help collect ___________ from the universeA. lightB. objectsC. radio wavesD. visible signals6. Most antennas of radio telescopes are made in the shape of a dish to ___________.A. make the antennas strong enoughB. increase the number of radio wavesC. turn radio waves into electronic signalsD. focus radio waves on the sub-reflector7. The underlined word "interferences" in the passage refers to ___________.A. the noises made by villagers and animalsB. the sounds from the radios and televisionsC. the people who go to Guizhou to watch FAST workD. the radio waves and electronic signals from humans8. What have we done with the help of radio telescopes?A. We have received pictures of deep space.B. We have discovered unknown lives in the universe.C. We have found some unknown objects in the universe.D. We have turned the radio waves from space into light.（三）【2019 •浙江省衢州市】The world has a plastics problem. And not just with bottles. Straws(吸管), toothbrushes, toys—all kinds of plastics are placed in landfills. There are 5 billion tons of plastic waste in the world. Landfills have a large part of it. By 2050, they could have 13 billion tons.Much of plastic rubbish finds its way into the ocean. Scientists say 165 million tons of plastic pieces are floating around out there. And most plastic won’t disappear itself. It will remain in the ocean forever. Whal es get caught in plastic fishing nets. Birds die because of eating plastic straws and bottle caps. It endangers ocean life. Plastic rubbisheven ends up in the food we eat.Governments are realizing that recycling may not be enough. They are taking more actions. Though it is hard work, it is still a solvable problem. In Britain, people are not allowed to use plastic bags except in hospitals. Scotland and several coastal cities in the US stop people from using plastic straws as well. The US alone throws away some 500 million plastic straws a day. That’s enough to circle the Earth twice. ＂Saying no to a plastic straw is an easy way to make a big difference,＂Dana Lofflin who started said. ＂Do we really want to pass on to our children a world harmed by plastic?＂People have found some tasty ways to reduce waste. A company in India made the first-ever spoon that people can eat. You don’t have to eat the spoon. You can throw it away. It decomposes(分解) in just a few days. David Edwards, a scientist at Harvard University, designed an eatable bag which can protect the food or drink inside. It is a delicious replacement for plastic ones.9. According to the write, birds die because they ___________.A. eat bottle caps and strawsB. get caught in fishing netsC. feed on ocean animalsD. have the spoons in India10.

From the passage, we can tell that the plastics problem ___________.A. is too big for people to solveB. can be solved by recycling aloneC. can be solved, but it won’t be easyD. will have to be solved by future scientists（四）【2019 •四川省广安市】Artificial intelligence(AI)(人工智能)is the ability of a computer program or a machine. The computer or the machine with AI can think and learn. It is also a field of study that tries to make computers "smart". John McCarthy, a scientist, came up with(提出)the name "artificial intelligence" over 60 years ago. Many things such as learning and problem solving can be done by computers, though not in the same way as people do.An unusual goal of AI research is to create computer programs. They can learn, solve problems, and thinklogically(逻辑地）.

Water is a human right and everyone should have their share. Yet more than 700 million people around the world have trouble getting clean, safe water.Treating wastewater is a good way to provide fresh water for us. And it also helps the environment by keeping waste out of rivers and oceans. 80% of wastewater around the world is not treated at all, and it is running into oceans. But now we have got the technology to treat and reuse the wastewater.While 75% of our planet is covered with water, only about 2% is fresh water—that comes from rivers, lakes, ice and snow. The rest, 98% of the water, is in seas and oceans. It is too salty to drink. Then desalination businesses come in. More than 19,000 factories have been built around the world, mostly in coastal countries. They process (加工) more than 92 million tons of water every day. But the technology they use requires a lot of energy.Scientists are working to create a less costly technology. They want to produce 20 times more clean water and make sure everyone has enough. But for now, the world still faces each day with not having enough water for everyone.18. How many people have trouble in getting clean water around the world?A. Under 10 million.B.

When the windmills spin, they make electricity. Then we can use the electricity. A lot of people think that wind power is new, but that’s not true. For thousands of years, people have used wind to sail boats and move water. We still do those things today, but these days we mostly use wind power to make electricity.Wind power is a very popular source of energy. Most people think that we should use it more and more. First of all, it’s clean. Windmills don’t pollute the environment at all. Second, we can use wind power fo rever. After all, we will always have wind. Also, wind power is cheap, and it’s getting even cheaper.A lot of people don’t understand wind power very well. They believe that there are problems with wind power, but many of those problems are not real. For example, some people say that windmills are dangerous for birds. They used to be true, but it isn’t true anymore. Old windmills killed birds because they spun very fast. New windmills spin slowly, and they aren’t dangerous for birds.However, there are real problems with windmills. One problem is that many people think windmills are very ugly. This is a problem for people, because windmills are often in very pretty areas. Also, wind doesn’t blow all the time, so we can’t use wind power all the time. Finally, windmills are noisy.Wind power is becoming more and more common. Right now, more than 80 countries use wind power. About 2.5 percent of the world’s power comes from the wind. For some countries, that number is a lot higher. Wind power gives Denmark more than 25 percent of its electricity.23. Why DON’T new windmills kill birds?

2019年中考备考英语阅读理解模拟题及答案：
Technology
【导语】你长着一对翅膀。
坚韧地飞吧，不要为风雨所折服；诚挚地飞吧，不要为香甜的蜜汁所陶醉。
以下是为大家整理的《2019年中考备考英语阅读理解模拟题及答案：Technology》供您查阅。
Technology is everywhere. We see it any place we go and，in fact， almost all of us carry some piece oftechnology with us every time we leave the house. What I always forget， though，is just how useful andpowerful technology can be when we want to help others
There is not a single room in my house that does not have some electronic devices（设备） lying around init. Whenever I am at home， I am almost always using at least one electronic device. If you walked into myliving room on any given day， you would find that， first， I have the television on. At the same time， I usuallyhave my laptop resting on my knee， or I will be using my mobile phone， Even when i＇m not at home I amalways using my phone， and at work or in cafes， I sit down and connect
to the local wireless network on myipcop.
I must say that I waste a lot of time on the computer and the time I spend on it could be much betterspent if I were to take up a little online volunteering
The technology we carry about everywhere can have a great power to do good for the world and to helpothers and recently I discovered just how much online volunteering there is to do in the world. From usingyour language skills to do translations，to developing and managing projects and helping with IT work，thereis so much that so many people can do to help people in their own countries and across the world. The UnitedNations，
in fact， has a huge page with ＂Volunteers Recruited＂ on its website.
This work can support the poor and help charities who cannot pay for staff. Many organizations onlyrequire you to work an hour a week-some even less. And the support provided by online volunteers can reallyhelp make a difference to those in need.
27. From Paragraph 2， we can know that the writer
A. uses technology a lot
B. works in a cafe
C. is a computer engineer
D. likes modern music

A. Ordered
B. Wanted
C. Visited
D. Warned

【答案】27. A 28. B 29. D 30. C
【解析】科学技术已经渗透进了我们的生活，我们每天都在使用这些科技带来的方便中。
但作者认为我们应该利用这些先进的技术去帮助别人，这样才能体现出这些科技的力量。
27. 细节理解题。
题目问到的是短文第二段，仔细阅读这一段我们可以知道，这一段的第一句话是该段的中心句，根据这句话There is not a single room in my house that does not have some electronic devices（设备） lying around in it.的意思可知，在作者的家里，没有一个房间里是没有电子设备的，也就是说作者使用非常多的电子设备，下面的文字作者举例来说明，如television, laptop, mobile phone等，故应选A。
28. 词义猜测题。
根据该段中I discovered just how much online volunteering there is to do in the world.可知，作者发
现在网上有很多在线志愿活动，而这句话说的就是联合国在网上招募志愿者的一个网站，由此我们可以知道划线这个单词应该是“招聘”的意思，与wanted同义，故选B。
29.细节理解题。
根据第三段中I must say that I waste a lot of time on the computer and the time I spend on it could be much betterspent if I were to take up a little online volunteering 以及下一段中的The technology we carry about everywhere can have a great power to do good for the world and to help others 可知，故选D。
30. 主旨大意题。
这篇短文开头部分作者讲述了我们周围无处不在使用着科学技术，短文的第一段中What I always forget， though，is just how useful and powerful technology can be when we want to help others点明文章的主题，从短文的第三段开始，作者对文章主题进行展开论述，即我们应该利用这些技术去做一些在线的志愿者活动，去帮助别人，所以C选项Online volunteering在线志愿者活动这个题目能点明文章的主题，故选C。
A选项Website Design网站设计；B选项Internet Organization在线组织；D选项Online Translation在线翻译，这几个选项都不符合文意。
点睛：这篇短文讲述的是现在我们应该利用我们周围无处不存在着先进的技术去帮助别人。
短文主题明确、突出，线索也非常清楚，比较有利于学生们的做题。
后面的题目设置包括细节理解、词义猜测和主旨大意题。
细节题都可以在短文中寻找到相关信息去作答，例如
第1小题，这个题目涉及的是短文第二段的内容，因此我们只需要弄清楚第二段的大意就行，这一段的主题句是第一句话，根据这一句我们可以知道，这里作者介绍的是他家里的各种各样的电子设备，说明他在平时的生活中大量的使用了这些设备，故应选A。
