2022年中考英语+时文阅读训练2(word版无答案)

2022 年中考英语时文阅读训练2Because of a sudden rise of COVID-19 cases in several Chinese cities, the country is making five COVID-19 antigen test kits (抗原检测试剂盒) available for self-testing, All made by local companies, the kits can be bought in stores and online.Antigen tests are used to test for COVID-19. But they work differently from the nucleic acid tests (核酸检测) that we are all familiar with. “Antigen is like the ‘clothes’ of the virus, while nucleic acid is the gene (基因) of the virus,” said Zhang Wenhong, head of the infec tious disease department (感染科) at Fudan University’s Huashan Hospital.The antigen tests are beneficial because they produce results faster, in around 15 minutes, and don’t require a lab. People can use them in their own homes at their convenience.But the y aren’t as accurate . “In the early stage of infection, the amount of virus can be verylow,” Zhang said. “The nucleic acid test can detect it but an antigen test cannot.”According to the National Health Commission, three categories of people will be able to take an antigen test. They are people who have had a fever or respiratory symptoms (呼吸道症状) within five days, people undergoing centralized or home isolation (隔离), and other people who just want to take a test.People who test positive with the antigen kits will be treated as COVID-19 cases and must contact local authorities immediately, said the State Council. They will need to undergo centralized quarantine (隔离) and have regular nucleic acid tests, reported China Daily.At this time, China is sticking to its zero-COVID policy. With the Omicron variant producing more asymptomatic (无症状的) cases, it is hoped that the introduction of antigen tests will help authorities to find infected people more rapidly, said Zhang.1．Antigen test kits are available to ________.A．reduce test costs B．speed up testingC．make the test more comfortable D．make results more accurate2．In Paragraph 2, Zhang Wenhong explains ________.A．how the antigen test kits workB．what kind of people can use antigen test kitsC．the advantages and disadvantages of antigen testsD．the difference between antigen tests and nucleic acid tests3．Compared with nucleic acid tests, antigen tests ________.a. produce faster resultsb. should be done in a labc. can be done on one’s ownd. are more accurateA．ab B．ac C．bc D．cd 4．According to China Daily, ________.A．COVID-19 cases can only be confirmed by nucleic acid testsB．a positive result from an antigen test might not be COVID-19C．positive cases from antigen tests will receive proper treatmentD．the results of antigen kits are completely trusted5．What is the purpose of using the antigen tests?A．To avoid the spread of the virus.B．To study the Omicron variant.C．To develop more medical products.D．To recover China’s connection with the world.02A Pioneer for all PeopleThough he was one of China's most famous scientists, Yuan Longping considered himself a farmer, because he worked the land to do his research.Known as “Father of Hybrid Rice (杂交水稻)”, Dr Yuan graduated from Southwest Agricultural (农业的) College in 1953. From then on, finding ways to grow more rice was his life goal. As a young man, he saw the great need for increasing the rice production. At that time, hunger was a serious problem in many parts of the countryside. Dr Yuan searched for a way to get more rice with the same size of the fields. In 1974, he became an agricultural pioneer in the world to grow rice that has high production and that is called super hybrid rice. In the 1980s, he went around the world and gave advice about growing rice to farmers in other countries. In 2004, he won the World Food Prize for his work.Dr Yuan was quite satisfied with his life. He would much rather keep time for his hobbies. He enjoyed playing the violin, swimming and reading. Spending money on himself meant very little to him, so he gave millions of yuan to help some researchers with their research in farming.Long ago Dr Yuan had a dream about rice plants as tall as sorghum (高粱) . With his hard work, he grew the rice that could feed more people. President Xi Jinping praised him for his great contributions (贡献) to China's food safety and world corn development.Answer the questions according to the passage.

初三英语时文阅读（二）（材料一）你第一次见一对夫妻时，最先闪入脑海的是什么？相信大多数人都会琢磨一下这两个人有没有夫妻相。

Do elderly couples really look alike?You’ve probably seen it before---two elderly people walking hand in hand down the streetand looking very much like each other. They look so much alike that they could be brother andsister.Do you believe that people who live together for many years would look alike? It’s strange, but scientists say it’s true.How scientists proved it?In a study, scientists found young couples only showed similarity by chance. However, eldercouples were very likely to look like each other. The similarity could be very subtle and could befound in wrinkles, furrows, etc. Besides, some couples look far more alike than other couples.The reason behind itThe scientists thought of several possible reasons:As couples usually share the same diet, will they probably look1. Diet.“We are what we eat.”alike? For example, if both partners eat a high fat diet, their faces will tend to look fat. However,the scientists ruled this out using another small study.2. Environment. Will elderly couples show similarity because they live together in the samearea for a long time? The environmental factors such as sunshine and wind affect the skin insimilar ways. The scientists ruled this possibility out as well.3. Empathy. This is the theory the scientists believe in. Couples grow to look similar becausethey are empathizing with each other. They copy each other’s facial expressions. For example, if one partner often smiles in a certain way, the other is likely to copy it. In this way, their facesshare similar wrinkles and furrows.A look into the futureSome people still don’t b elieve in the“empathy”theory. And, some think growing to lookmore like your partner is a horrific idea. Others, though, think there’s something very sweet and romantic about it.（材料二）请相信，音乐是有魔力的！Magic MusicWhat can music do? As a personal expression? To increase patriotism? Or as a way to passon traditions?Sweet music for milkingScientists believe farmers could get more milk from their cows by playing classical music inthe cowshed.In 2001, a group of UK psychologists played music of different tempos to some cows.Pastoral Symphony* was a big hit in the milking shed. But when noisy music wasBeethoven’splayed, there was no increase in milk yield. According to research, calming music can improvemilk yield, probably because it reduces stress.Music can help plants grow faster as well. In 2007, South Korean scientists proved thatplaying music, especially classical pieces, to plants really helps plants grow more quickly.Muzak*, more than musicToday, you hear muzak almost everywhere. Muzak is functional music rather than entertainment; it affects those who hear it.Music is art, but Muzak is science. And when you use the science of Muzak: In an office,workers tend to work more efficiently, and feel happier. In a factory, people feel better and, withless fatigue and tension, their jobs seem less monotonous. In a store, people seem to shop in amore relaxed and leisurely manner. That’s why we say Muzak is much more than music.Music as symbolAt the mention of the 1988 Seoul Olympics (汉城奥运会), what comes into your mind first?The theme song Hand in Hand (汉城奥运会主题曲《手拉手》), of course! It is one of the mostfavorite songs in Olympic history. As a successful Olympic song, Hand in Hand is easy but not simple. The song conveys the common dream of people around the world—peace and the spiritof the Olympics. Anyone, who saw the moment when 18,000 spectators sang Hand in Hand together with the singers on the stage, would feel the power of music.（材料三）谁是这几周最火的人物？非苏珊·波伊尔莫属。

One group of participants was told to make a list of how their life was better than most. What the study found was thatparticipants in the gratitude group reported much higher levels of satisfaction with their lives than the controlgroup. They felt more optimistic about the upcoming week and more connected with others.It appears that participation in the gratitude condition led to substantial and consistent improvements in people's assessments of the global well-being,”the study noted.Ready to start your own gratitude journal?

文章还介绍了开发一种安全疫苗所需要的时间，测试过程的重要性以及生产疫苗所需的费用等。

Scientists around the world are racing to create and test vaccines（疫苗）to help protect people against the novel coronavirus（新冠病毒）. They are making progress, but it will be quite a while before any vaccines are ready.There are many different ways to make vaccines. At least 115 different vaccines for the novel coronavirus are being developed around the world right now. Many of them may not work or may have side effects that can be dangerous. That is why testing is very important.Before a vaccine is ever tested on humans, it's first tested on animals to make sure it seems safe. Testing the vaccine on humans is done in several different phases. In Phase 1, a small group of people are given small amounts of the vaccine to see if it has any bad effects. Phase 2 still tests the vaccine’s safety, but it's mainly a test to see if the vaccine seems to work, If Phase 2 goes well, the vaccine can begin Phase 3. During Phase 3, the vaccine is tried on a much larger group of people to see how well it works.Because of the serious and worldwide influence of the novel coronavirus, there is huge pressure to develop a working vaccine quickly. It normally takes seven or more years to develop a safe vaccine that works well. Now drug companies are hoping to create working vaccines in 12 or 18 months.But health experts also warn that rushing too much could be dangerous. A vaccine with harmful effects could cause more problems than it solves.1. According to the passage, the scientists who are making vaccines are ____________.A. hard-working and carefulB. patient and easy-goingC. kind and curiousD. caring and brave2. How long does it take to create working vaccines in the usual way?A. Less than six years.B. More than ten years.C. Twelve to eighteen months.D. About seven years.3.

英语9年级-时文阅读2(含答案)

7A doctor is praising a Minnesota state police who stopped her for speeding, but gave her N95 masks instead of a ticket. Dr. Sarosh Ashraf Janjua thanked State Police Brian J Schwartz for his act of kindness during the coronavirus pandemic in a Facebook post.Dr. Janjua, a cardiologist working in the area, explained she was pulled over after driving over the speed limit. Police Schwartz told her it was irresponsible for her to be speeding because it would take up resources if she got into an accident and she would not be able to help her patients.She waited to be slapped with a ticket,but instead,he let her off with a warning — plus five medical masks. They came from a supply that the state had given him for his own protection, according to Janjua. "I burst into tears," she said. "And though it may just have been the cold wind, I think he teared up a little as well, before wishing me well and walking away."Like many of her fellow health care workers and first responders, Dr. Janjua said she had been feeling fear for not having enough protective equipment and worried about what would happen if she fell sick far from home."This complete stranger, who owed me nothing and is more on the front lines than I am, shared his valuable masks with me, without my even asking," she added. "We are going to be OK." The Minnesota State Patrol praised the doctor and the police for their hard work and dedication.1. Dr. Janjua was stopped because ______.A she drove very fastB she didn’t wear a maskC she got into an accidentD she drove along a wrong way2. The underlined word “irresponsible” in Paragraph 2 means _________ in Chinese.A 危机四伏的B 考虑不周的C 忠于职守的D 不负责任的3. What happened to Dr. Janjua at last?A She was given a ticket.B She found Police Schwartz crying.C She was allowed to leave with masks.D She was wished to have a happy day.4. What can we learn from the passage?A Dr. Janjua was familiar with Police Schwartz.B Police Schwartz had to give up his job for not giving a ticket.C The Minnesota State hoped more people would help doctors in need.D Many doctors like Dr. Janjua may be lack of masks while saving patients. ADCD8At some point in our lives during childhood, we have been told to “jump more” in order to grow taller. A couple in China encouraged their 12-year-old son to jump 1,000 times a day. They had also offered him 10 yuan for every 1,000 jumps he did. Why would any parent want their child to jump a thousand times every single day? This kid is 145cm, and the average height for kids of that age is 152cm. As typical Asian parents, they want him to grow taller and they also believed that jumping could help.The boy’s father gave him a jump rope and managed to convince him to start jumping. From that day on, he used the jump rope every day unless he fell sick, and he even jumped up to 3,000 times per day. After one whole year of jumping, the parents rewarded a total of 4,000 yuan. However, the boy not only did not grow taller, but he ended up being the shortest student in his class.It turns out that he had been spending the money that he earned on unhealthy snacks like potato chips! This explained the mystery where he often lost his appetite at the dinner table and the “unexplainable” weight gain. His parents thought he was going through a hard time with study, but he was actually just snacking endlessly.So, this is a clear example of how jumping rope does not help kids grow taller. Parents should really just accept that height is mainly affected by the parents’ genes, and also a healthy, balanced diet.1. Why did the parents ask their kid to do more rope jumping?A To build up his body.B To let his kids lose weight.C To let his kids grow taller.D To give him more pocket money.2. What surprised the parents?A Their kid almost jumped every day.B Their kid fell ill because of jumping rope.C Their kid became taller and taller.D Their kid became the shortest one in his class.3. Why did the boy eat less at the dinner table?A Because he ate too many snacks.B Because he didn’t like the food at home.C Because he wasn’t good at his study.D Because he got hurt while jumping rope.4. What can we learn from the passage?A Exercise is important in the children’s growth.B It’s not right to ask the kids to jump rope.C Parents’ traditional thought turns out to be not correct.D The height of children mainly depends on sleep and diet.CDAC9At just the age of seven, Mikail Akar is already a famous name in the art world. His paintings sell for thousands of dollars around the world, and he has another name “Preschool Picasso”.Mikail was born in Germany. His talent for painting was found by mistake three years ago. His parents bought him a canvas and some paint and let him get creative with them. They had already bought him plenty of toys and cars, so they thought they would give him something different,but they weren’t expecting him to paint a fantastic one. But Mikhail did such a good job with his first canvas that his father thought his wife painted it.Mikail Akar does well in abstract works and he can punch the canvas while he is wearing his father’s boxing gloves. “When I’m older, I want to be a football player,”Akar said.“Painting is quite tiring for me.Sometimes it can take a long time, especially with boxing gloves.”Last month, during a presentation of Akar's new work at a personal gallery in Berlin, one visitor was very surprised to know that the artist was just a child in a primary school. His parents say that they are careful not to push Mikail too hard. He only paints when he wants to, sometimes once a week, other times once every month. His son’s success as a painter has changed their lives, and they now live for art. Akar’s paintings now are popular among buyers from across the world. One of the works sold for $12,000, and the money was given to a charity for children.1. Who found Mikail’s talent?A Mikail Akar himself.B Mikail’s parents.C Mikail’s art teacher.D A famous painter.2. Mikail’s dream is to be _______.A an artistB a doctorC a scientistD a sportsman3. Which of the following is NOT true?A Many buyers like works of art from Mikail Akar.B Mikail Akar started painting at the age of four.C Boxing gloves brought Mikail Akar a lot of fun.D Mikail’s first painting surprised his parents.4. What can we know from the last paragraph?A Mikail’s parents don’t ask him to do more painting.B A teacher was surprised to see Mikail’s painting.C Mikail’s success has brought the family more happiness.D All the Mikail’s works are given the charity for children.BDCA10Most ninth-grade girls worry about schoolwork, friends and personal life. Lately, however, Valerie Xu has focused on face masks. The 15-year-old from Addison, Texas, says she wanted to do something about the lack of protective equipment for medical workers during the coronavirus pandemic(冠状病毒大流行). So with wisdom and a teenager’s good wish, Xu raised donations, bought more than 10,000 protective masks and delivered them to a Dallas medical center. And she’s gathering more.The idea of donation started with a conversation that Xu had with a family friend, a Florida ER doctor who was forced to wear the same protective mask for several days.“This really amazed me in America,” Xu said. “We’re supposed to be considered therichest country in the world, yet doctors and nurses fighting on the front line cannot get proper protection.”Since Xu wanted to make a local influence, she started a GoFundMe online to buy masks for the UT Southwestern Medical Center, the largest hospital near her home. It has raised more than$3,800.Xu researched vendors in China and picked two suppliers, donating $1,200 of her own money to the cause. She said her activity so far has collected a total of11,200masks.Xu has received grateful messages from medical workers and others.“If there is one thing that I have learned from this experience, it is that people care and are willing to help our community, which is the truth of our American spirit," she said.1.

What has Xu learned from the experience?A People only care about their own community.B God helps those who help themselves.C People care about and help each other when in need.D A man’s will does not depend on the number of his age.CDDC11A mum felt tired because she was the only one to clean up around the house. So she came up with a new game to keep her happy as she goes. She put money under the litter with tape around the house, including toilet rolls and pieces of paper on the floor.When the money wasn’t taken away, she added the prize money. She said that anyone who decided to lend a helping hand could get a small fortune. Unluckily for her family, they don’t join in the litter picking, leaving only their hard-working mum to take back her own money.The mum posted the idea to Facebook with a photo of the toilet roll. It was lying on the bathroom floor, and showed it was there for full seven days. She wrote online, "Needing something to inspire kids and husbands to tidy up around the house? Clearly this game hasn’t worked here yet, maybe one day. For now, I’ll keep raising the prize money, knowing it’s coming back."One said, "My kids would probably pick it up, take out the money, throw it back on the floor and forget about the whole thing." A second replied, "No one will pick them up even if it saves their life." Another mum has used a way to get her child to lend a hand with chores around the house. After she changed her laundry area, she left a large sign to everyone else living in the home that reads,"Put your laundry away, or I'll beat you. Love mum."1.

With no work or money during the lockdown(封锁), Paswan and his daughter were struggling to make ends meet. Even their landlord kept asking them to pay the rent.At first, Paswan didn’t agree to go back to Bihar on a bicycle, as he thought Jyoti was so young that she couldn't reach the end with such a wild idea. However, Jyoti managed to persuade him and the two went on an hard journey back home. "We kept moving forward with whatever help we got on the way. Some people gave us food. We were also hungry for two days," Jyoti said.She has been quarantined along with her father and is being praised as "Shravan Kumari" of Darbhanga.

时文阅读训练——纽约公用电话的终结The end of New York's pay phonesThe end is coming for New York's public pay phones. New York City officials say workers are currently removing all public pay phones from the city's streets. Pay phones used to be everywhere in the city - on every street corner and in every park and public place. Engineers have started the removal work by taking away 30 pay phones from the Hell's Kitchen area of the city. In the coming months, the remaining phones will go. New York City spokesman Corey Johnson told the CNN news agency that: "The antiquated and outdated pay phone booths take up much needed sidewalk space. Removing these booths is a win for pedestrians who navigate these crowded blocks."Many New Yorkers probably won't even notice the phones are going. Most younger people have never used one. They may have to read the instructions to use a phone, and scramble for coins to feed it. Modern technology means the public phone is no longer needed. Over 95 percent of Americans have a mobile phone. Mr Corey said New Yorkers no longer want the phones. He said: "My office has received numerous community complaints from local residents about these antiquated pay phones, which present public safety and quality of lifeissues. Additionally, they take up sorely needed sidewalk space that could better serve people with disabilities and families with strollers."

So in both East and West, we have festivals to celebrate family reunions. These festivals include Mid-Autumn Festival in China and Thanksgiving in the US. How are they celebrated and what are the differences? Let’s take a look.Sharing the moonlightWith delicious moon cakes hitting the shops, the Mid-Autumn Festival arrives. It’s on the 15th day of the eighth month of the Chinese lunar calendar. In ancient China, the day was considered a harvest festival since fruits, vegetables and grain had been collected from the fields.The full moon is a symbol for family reunions (tuanyuan means reunion in Chinese, with yuan meaning round). Chinese people celebrate by coming together to eat, drink and be happy.On the day, food offerings (供品) are traditionally placed at altars (供桌) set up in old yards. Moon cakes are a special festival food.When it gets dark, people look up at the full moon and drink wine to celebrate or remember friends and relatives who are far from home. “Though miles apart, could men but live forever dreaming they shared this moonlight endlessly! (但愿人长久，千里共婵娟)” wrote Song Dynasty poet Su Shi.Showing our thanksThanksgiving is on the fourth Thursday of November. The first Thanksgiving was in December of 1621. About 100 English people took a ship, the Mayflower, to a place they named Plymouth in the northeastern US. The winter there was very cold and life was difficult. The American Indians (印第安人) helped them a lot. The English peopleinvited the American Indians to have a big meal to thank them for all of their help. The celebration lasted for three days.Today, people usually have a family meal on Thanksgiving. They enjoy delicious food such as pumpkins, corn and a big, golden turkey.There are other traditions on the day. For example, the turkey has a V-shaped bone in the breast. It’s called a wishbone. After roasting, two people each take one end of the bone. They make a wish and then pull. If you get the larger part of the bone, you will get good luck.The most important part of Thanksgiving is to say “thanks” – this is the spirit of the holiday. People also like to watch the Thanksgiving Day Parade (游行) on TV or play American football.1.What do people usually do on the Mid-Autumn Festival?a. harvest crops.b. get together with familyc. eat mooncakesd. remember friends and family far awaye. write poetryA. abcB. bcdC. cdeD. ade2.

There are interesting stories behind some cuisine(菜肴), as well as table manners relating to tableware (餐具).HotpotHotpot has been popular among Chinese people for a long time. As early as in the Shang Dynasty (c.16thcentury–11th century BC), people boiled foods in bronze cauldrons(青铜鼎). The cauldron had two parts – one was the pot to cook foods in soup, and the other part was a layer (层) or a space inside the cauldron to hold firewood. People started to have lattice (分格的) hotpot during the Han Dynasty (206 BC–AD 220). They divided pots into several parts to enjoy different flavors (口味).Yuan Mei was a poet and foodie (美食家) in the Qing Dynasty (1644-1911). He mentioned huoguo, the Chinese name for hotpot, in a book about all kinds of food. At that time, hotpot was very popular. People put all kinds of meat and vegetables into the hotpot. They also used different materials, such as copper (铜) and iron (铁), to make pots. Dongpo porkThere is a famous Chinese dish called “Dongpo pork”. Does it have anything to do with the great poet Su Dongpo?Yes. Su Dongpo (Su Shi) was a poet who lived during the Song Dynasty (960-1279). He was the first to make this dish. When he was a local official in Huangzhou, Hubei, he fell in love with cooking pork. In his article Ode to Pork (《猪肉颂》), Su wrote about how to cook it.According to folk stories, the dish became well-known when Su went to Hangzhou, Zhejiang, to take office. One day, there was a big flood and Su went out to help people. People heard that Su loved eating pork, so they gave him a lot of it.But Su wanted to give it back. He cooked the pork in his own special way. Then he gave the dish to every family in the city and every worker on the street. Very soon the dish became famous in Hangzhou and got the name “Dongpo pork”.ChopsticksWhat are the dos and don’ts of using chopsticks?For Chinese people, chopsticks are not just simple tools to pick up food. They come with their own special rules and traditions.First, people should not make noise with chopsticks. Playing with chopsticks is seen as rude, just as playing with forks and knives in a Western country is.There are also some superstitions (迷信) related to chopsticks. For example, some people believe that chopsticks should not be left standing upright in a bowl. It looks like the incense (香) that Chinese people use to honor (祭奠) the dead. Doing it at the dinner table is believed to bring bad luck.You should not tap chopsticks on the edge (边缘) of the bowl either, as beggars do this to ask for food.1. When did people start to have lattice hotpots?A. During the Shang Dynasty.B. During the Qin Dynasty.C. During the Han Dynasty.D. During the Qing Dynasty.2. According to the story, what did Yuan Mei do?A. He added a layer of space to the bronze cauldrons.B. He wrote about hotpot in his book about cuisine.C. He taught people to cook meat and vegetables together.D. He used different materials to make pots.3. “Dongpo pork” was named after Su Dongpo because _____.A. he created the dishB. he wrote a poem to praise the dishC. he spread the dish to more citiesD. people made the dish to remember him4. People gave Su a lot of pork after he fought the flood because _____.A. Su tried hard to help themB. they wanted Su to praise their porkC. they wanted Su to cook pork for themD. they wanted to learn how to cook pork5.

Picking up things other than food with chopsticksD，阅读理解During the Warring States Period (475-221 BC), King Zhao of the State of Yan (燕昭王) wanted to gather talented people to make the state strong. He asked the scholar (有学问的人) Guo Weifor advice. Guo told the king a story.In ancient times, there was a king who wanted a special kind of horse. This horsecould run 1,000 li a day. It was called qianlima. He sent many people to find thesehorses and buy them for him. After three years, nobody found him such a horse.One day, someone new volunteered to help. Within three months, he heard abouta qianlima. He rushed to find it, but the horse was already dead. Still, he bought the bones of the horse with 500 pieces of gold.The king was very angry. “What I want is a live horse, not the bones of a dead horse!”The man answered calmly (冷静地), “Imagine this. You’re willing to pay a high price for a dead horse, let alonea live one. This shows people you truly wish to buy the horses. Just wait and the horses you want will come very soon.”Indeed (的确), within a year, many qianlima owners brought their horses to the king.Guo told the king that he could see himself as the bones of the horse. “If I am valued (重视), more talent will be willing (愿意的) to serve the state,” he said. The king built houses for Guo and treated him as a teacher. Soon, talented people across the state came to help the king. His state finally beat the State of Qi.We can better understand the story by reading the essay (文章) On Horses (《马说》) by Han Yu, a writer in the Tang Dynasty. In the essay, Han wrote that qianlima are common, but a person who can find them is rare. It tells us that talented people are common. Finding them is difficult.The story helps us understand that talented people are important to society. They deserve (应得) respect. President Xi Jinping once told this story to officials, asking them to respect talented people. More importantly, the story pushes us to think about our own talents. It means to develop your all-around (全面的) abilities and create opportunities for yourself. Instead of waiting for someone to find you, you can actively sell yourself.1. What did King Zhao of the State Yan actually want to have?A. Talented people.B. Qianlima.C. The bones of a qianlima.D. Wealth.2. In Guo’s story, the king got angry with the man because he thought _____.A. qianlima weren’t the best horses in the worldB. there wasn’t a qianlima in the worldC. the bones were not from a qianlimaD. a dead horse was of no use at all3. What was the man’s reason for buying the bones of a dead horse?A. It could help the king gather talented people.B. Horse owners would see the king’s need for qianlima.C. More people would kill their horses to sell horse bones.D. The king could tell qianlima from common horses this way.4. Guo compared himself to _____ in the story he told.A. the volunteerB. the kingC. the bones of a dead qianlimaD. the qianlima ownerE，阅读理解During the Tang Dynasty (618-907), Emperor Taizong asked the prime minister (宰相) Feng Deyi to recommend (推荐) talented people. However, several months passed, Feng didn’t recommend anyone.“I tried my best, but there are not unusual and well-rounded people at all,” Feng said.“People are like utensils (器物). What we need to do is to make good use of their strengths. You should blame (责怪) yourself for not noticing talented people. How could you say that there are no talented people in our era?” said the emperor.Indeed (的确), each utensil or tool has a specific function (功能). A knife is made to cut things while chopsticks are made to pick up food. We can’t use a knife as a chopstick. Like a utensil, each person has a particular strength. Nobody is perfect. We can’t expect a person to be good at everything.With this idea in mind, Emperor Taizong discovered many talented people of different backgrounds. He offered them important positions , which helped them make the most of their talents. His talented people helped the society develop and created a “golden age”.A good example is Ma Zhou, who grew up in a poor family. Ma gave a lot of useful advice, so Emperor Taizong offered him a position and promoted (晋升) him many times. Ma helped the emperor deal with complicated issues and became a well-known person in history.Chang Sheng, Chinese teacher at the High School Affiliated to Renmin University of China explains as followings:As long as a person is talented in one aspect, we should give them a chance. The same idea can be found in the Analects of Confucius (《论语》). Treating people as utensils shows not only good leadership, but a sincere and inclusive (包容的) attitude. President Xi Jinping once told this story to officials, asking them to value talented people.Today, as the division of labor (劳动分工) in society is becoming clearer, the idea still makes sense. If we become leaders someday, we should help others give full play to their strengths. For example, Liu Bang, the founder of Han Dynasty (206BC-AD220), let Zhang Liang and Xiao He work as advisors for their wisdom while inviting Han Xin to lead the army for his war strategies. Known as the “three heroes of the early Han Dynasty”, they helped Liu builda strong dynasty.1. Why couldn’t Feng Deyi find any talented people in Taizong’s opinion?A. There were no talented people then.B. His standards were wrong.C. He was afraid of being replaced.D. He was dissatisfied with the emperor.2. Knives and chopsticks are compared to _____.A. positionsB. strengthsC. toolsD. people3. Ma Zhou is a good example of people who _____.A. have no talent but are still usefulB. are unusual and well-roundedC. know when to take a chanceD. show talent in the right field4. What might be Chang Sheng’s opinion?A. People with any talent should be valued.B. Talented people are difficult to discover.C. Using people as tools is taking advantage of them.D. Using people as tools doesn’t work today.5. What is the main message of the story?A. Opportunity only comes to those who are prepared.B. There is no such thing as a great talent without great willpower.C. Talented people should be valued and led to the right place.D. Pearls are everywhere but not the same as eyes.完形填空Cloze 1Zu Ti was a great man of Jin Dynasty. He was ____1____ for his hard work and great achievements.

At the same time, in developing countries like China and Brazil, sales of meat have doubled in the last 20 years. 12will double again by 2050.

It also meanstaking special steps to protect the environment—the water, the land, and the air we breathe. Why green? Plants are green, and without them the earth wouldn’t be such a lovely home for us human beings.Sometimes people call ours a“throw away society”. That means we a re always throwing away old things and buying new ones. Many times, if you no longer need something, someone else just might need it. For example, if your brother is old enough not to play with his plastic bike, why not give it to another family who has a little kid so that they don’t need to buy one? And one less large plastic toy doesn’t need to be produced.Recycling(回收利用)has never been easier. Many organizations will pick it up right in front of your house and some towns even require(要求)it. Tell your mom or dad you want to become“Chief of Recycling”for your family. Now that you know what things you can recycle, find a place to keep them. Make sure you encourage everyone in your house to think whether things can be reused or recycled before they’re thrown away.Almost everyone likes traveling.

Will robots control our planet? Will computers become smarter than us? Not likely. But here are some things that scientists say are most likely to happen in 10 to 30 years from now, according to the BBC．Digital moneyWe need to pay with cash for everything we bought. Now when we use a credit card to shop online, money is spent without us seeing it. That means we are already using digital money. Using a card is much easier than searching our pockets for change. It is also safer than carrying a lot of cash.When ATM cards were first introduced, they were not accepted everywhere. But now it’s hard to live without them. It’s reported that people in Sweden completely stopped using cash last year, and the US might be next.Bionic（仿生的）eyeIt’s no longer something only in a science fiction movie. People who are blind may have a chance to get their sight back-by wearing bionic eyes.A blind eye can no longer sense light, but a bionic eye can use a camera to “see” the environment and send data to the mind. Now the bionic eye only allows patients to see lights and unclear shapes. A high resolution（高清的）image could be just a few years away.Self-driving carsUnlike a human driver, a self-driving car won’t get distracted（分神）by a phone call, the radio or something outside the window. Sensors（探测器）and cameras on the car would allow it to stick strictly to the rules of the road and keep a safe distance from other cars. This would greatly reduce the number of road accidents. You could even take a nap while the car drives itself. In the future, driverless cars would be widely accepted.6．What does the writer mainly tell us about digital money?A．We use digital money to shop online without paying money.B．Digital money is most likely to be used instead of cash.C．Using cash is easier and safer than a credit card.D．ATM cards are always popular.7．Which of the following statements is TRUE?A．Bionic eyes only appear in the science fiction film.B．Human drivers won’t get distracted by something outside.C．The blind wearing bionic eyes may see clearly in the future.D．There will be no road accident at all if self-driving cars are used.8．From the report, we can learn some information about ______.A．culture and art B．industry and farmingC．science and technology D．traffic and shopping9．Which of the following can be predicted（预测）from the passage?A．There would be a number of self-driving cars on the road.B．The blind could use cameras to see things around.C．We would live a hard life with digital money.D．Robots would control the world.03（2023·湖南长沙·长沙市南雅中学校考二模）China has completed its BeiDou Navigation Satellite System (北斗卫星导航系统), or BDS. It becomes a new system in the world with a global navigation network (全球导航网络). The other three systems are GPS of the US, GLONASS of Russia and Galileo of the European Union.As the name suggests, the global navigation satellite system provides navigation and location services 24 hours a day. As we know, building a good satellite system costs a lot. Besides, the other systems have been set up. Why does China have a new one if there is nothing special?The other three systems have 24 satellites. China’s BDS has six more satellites. What’s special about these six satellites is that they have a relatively fixed area of activity. This can improve BDS’ accuracy (精准度) in China and the Asia-Pacific region to 5 meters, compared with a 10-meter accuracy in other areas.BDS has another advantage-the short message service. It allows users to have a two-way communication. In areas that are not covered by communication signals (信号), users can send short messages. Even in uninhabited areas, such as deserts, forests, mountainous and polar areas, BDS can also make the short message service available.With this service, users who are in danger can tell the rescue team (救援队) their location and condition.As the most populous country, it’s important for China to have its own global navigation satellite system to meet the needs of the country’s development. In fact, BDS is also good business. According to the official report, China’s satellite industry has kept a 20% yearly growth since 2012. And BDS contributes about 80% of it. In addition, BDS has also created countless high-paying jobs. And with continuous improvement, it will have much more to offer in the future.10．Which one is the global navigation satellite system of China?A．BDS.B．GPS of the US.C．GLONASS of Russia.11．How many satellites does BeiDou-3 have in total?A．6.B．24.C．30.12．What does the underlined word “uninhabited” mean in Paragraph 4?A．人口众多的B．无人居住的C．风平浪静的13．What are true about China’s BDS according to Paragraph 5?a. It has met the needs of China’s development.b. It is regarded as good business.c. It has caused a number of people to lose their jobs.A．a, c B．a, b C．b, c14．In which part of a newspaper can we probably read this passage?A．Technology.B．Culture.C．History.04（2022秋·广东梅州·九年级校考阶段练习）The local government of Haidian and the Internet company Baidu had an agreement in January, 2018. They wanted to develop the “smart city” together. Haidian Park was chosen by them. Why was Haidian Park chosen? It is because the park covers about 34 hectares (公顷) near the 4th Ring Road. And it received about 1.2 million tourists last year. It took the workers 10 months to change Haidian Park into an artificial intelligence AI (人工智能) theme park. It was opened to the public in early November.Now the park has driverless buses, smart lamp posts (灯柱) and smart speakers. The buses themselves can run according to the directions from a computer. The smart lamp posts can record a lot of data quickly and well. The smart speakers can understand human instructions correctly. The park gives people a totally new look. People can experience different artificial intelligence here.Che Jianguo said that a total of 10 government departments and companies took part in the rebuilding of the park over the past 10 months. He comes from the park office and he is in charge of the program.In recent years, Chinese high-tech companies begin to do some things in the artificial intelligence industry. The central government also said in October that it would help the development of the country's new generation of artificial intelligence.15．Haidian Park was chosen to become the “smart city” because _____.A．it is the biggest park in Beijing B．it is next to the 4th Ring Road C．it has large size and is popular16．The underlined word “driverless” in Paragraph 2 means “_____” in Chinese.A．无人驾驶的B．无座位的C．跑得快的17．Today, Chinese high-tech companies pay more attention to _____.A．the global economy B．the artificial intelligence industry C．the development of our country 18．The best title of the text is “_____”.A．Haidian Artificial Intelligence Theme ParkB．Chinese High-tech CompaniesC．Building A “Smart City”05（2023·山东日照·日照市新营中学校考三模）China’s biggest solar-powered drone(太阳能无人机), Qimingxing-50 or Morning Star 50, finished its first test flight in September, 2022. The drone was built by the Aviation Industry Corporation of China(A VIC, 中国航空工业集团有限公司)Drones have been used for quite a few years now. There are different ways of increasing the flying time. However, all these methods become less useful compared with the unlimited(无限的) power provided by the Sun. That’s why researchers have been working to make solar-powered drones that can not only stay in the air for longer but also perform more tasks while in the sky.In 2018, China tested the first version(版本) of Morning Star, which was 91 feet wide. Made from a special kind of plastic, the drone was so light, weighing only 41 pounds. Compared with it, the Morning Star 50 is much larger and has a wingspan(翼展) of 164 feet.On September 3, Morning Star 50 took off from an airport in Yulin City in the Shaanxi province in northwest China and landed back 26 minutes later after a smooth flight. Staff told some local reporters that all flight systemsworked normally. This is a good start for future flights of the solar-powered drone that could last for many days or even months at a time.In the US, Airbus has been testing the Zephyr solar-powered drones for the past few years. Its latest version, the Zephyr S, came close to breaking the record for the longest flight. It stayed in the air for 64 days. Unluckily, the drone fell onto the ground only a few hours before it would have set a new record.19．Which one is an advantage of solar-powered drones researchers want?A．They’re cheaper than others.B．They can fly in bad weather.C．They fly at a higher speed.D．They can stay in the air for longer.20．What made the first version of Morning Star light?A．Its look.B．Its material.C．The power it uses.D．The tasks it performs.21．What can we know about Zephyr S?A．It failed to land smoothly.B．It flew for only a few hours.C．It set a new record in the US.D．It had been tested for many years.22．What’s the main purpose of the text?A．To compare different drones.B．To report a drone’s test flight.C．To discuss drones’ future.D．To tell the importance of drones.06（2022秋·广东深圳·九年级校考期末）Most people have a place to call home on Earth. What about in outer space? The International Space Station(ISS) became our first “home” in space in 2000. It welcomed its first crew that year, paving the way for 20 years of future research.“You just have this impression that we’re all citizens of not a particular country, but of the planet,” former NASA astronaut Scott Kelly told National Geographic about working in ISS. “We’re all in this thing called humanity together.”Over the past 20 years, the ISS has mainly been used as a science lab, hosting 241 people from 19 countries, according to NASA．They have gone on spacewalks, done research on how space affects the human body, and even grown plants in space.The station’s development has also benefited people on Earth. For example, the station’s water purification(净化) technology has been used in poor areas to provide clean drinking water. The station also helps to warn us of natural disasters, such as earthquakes.However, after being our home in space for over 7000 days, the station is starting to get old. It has leaked(泄露) air a few times. Scientists think that the station can keep working until 2024. After that, scientists will bring it down to Earth. It is believed that Earth’s atmosphere will burn up most of the station. Other debris(残骸) will fall into the Pacific Ocean.In the future, space will be home to more stations like the ISS. NASA is building a space station that is smaller than the ISS near the moon. Also, China will have its own space station up and running in 2022.23．What did Scott Kelly feel about his work in space?A．Comfortable.B．Proud.C．Bored.D．Lonely.24．What haven’t the astronauts done while working in ISS?A．Clean the raindrops.B．Walk on space.C．Study how space affects the human body.D．Grow plants.25．What can we infer from the 5th paragraph?A．Though the ISS getting old, it will be improved and stay in space.B．The Earth’s atmosphere will help bring the ISS down to Earth.C．The whole station will soon be burnt up and fall into the ocean.D．The ISS will be brought back to Earth after a few years.26．What do we know about the International Space Station?A．It is the first space station launched by NASA．B．It mainly develops water purification technology.C．It benefits all the human beings on Earth.D．It can keep running until 2023.27．What can be the best title of this passage?A．Our Home in Space.B．Visiting the ISS.C．A New Space Station.D．Working in Outer Space.参考答案：1．C 2．B 3．B 4．C 5．A【导语】本文主要讲述2023年，科学技术将继续快速发展。

专题02 时文阅读理解-社会生活主题语境：人与社会--主要介绍了一个志愿者项目为新生儿提供章鱼来安抚和安慰他们，这一项目受到了新生儿父母的欢迎。

重点单词：monitor 监视，监测；accumulate 积累；familiarity熟悉；1.Jude and Leo Hawes have come a long way since they entered the world, born at just 29weeks. Airlifted fromtheir home in Launceston to hospital in Hobart, the twins, now happy and healthy two-year-olds, were delivered into the ICU to be cared for and monitored. A gift from the Tasmanian branch of Octopus for a Preemie (早产儿) for them was a light in the dark.“These stories really do re mind us why we all spend so much time and our own money making these octopuses (章鱼),” Bianca, the co-founder of the project, tells Woman’s Day. “It means the world to me that I can do something in whatever small way to make the journey for the babies and parents just that little bit easier. I believe if we can help others, no matter how small a way it is, then we should.”The eight-legged creatures are specially created to calm and comfort early newborns.“In instances where the babies can’t be held for weeks, or even months, the familiarity of the parents’ scent (气味) on the octopuses can help with the bonding process because babies already know it as a safe scent when parents can finally hold them,”Bianca says.The volunteer project began after a nurse reached out to Bianca to create a prototype of octopus she could take into hospital for a trial.“It took me a good four to five months to teach myself how to write a pattern and get it approved,”explains Bianca, who creates the handmade helpful octopuses for no cost to families in need.“I started making them as fast as I could, but I wasn’t able to make the amount they needed.” Soon Bianca met the group’s other co-founder Andrea Carey and the pair started creating the creatures in together in their spare time.“I have always enjoyed being creative and my imagination runs wild with colour combinations,” says Bianca, her Facebook page Octopus for a Preemie Tasmania accumulating more than 2000 followers.“It makes my day!”1．What is the purpose of the project?A．To promote octopuses to preemies.B．To comfort the preemies’ parents.C．To reach out to nurses for preemies.D．To bring a sense of security for preemies.2．Which of the following can replace the underlined word “prototype” In paragraph 4?A．Certificate. B．Model. C．Patent. D．Trademark.3．What can we learn about the project from the last two paragraphs?A．It is well received.B．It is highly profitable.C．It needs to be improved.D．It takes ages to see the results.4．What does Bianca’s story imply?A．Good is rewarded with good.B．Two heads are better than one.C．Small deeds make a difference.D．Actions speak louder than words.【答案】1．D 2．B 3．A 4．C【导语】本文为一篇说明文。

This happens to trees as well. One type of “scar" on trees is a tree hole.In order to protect trees, people usually fill tree holes with cement and other materials. However, many people think that the look of grey cement on trees is ugly. It does not fit into the urban environment.This winter, some artists were invited to decorate the trees on the streets of Hongkou district, Shanghai. They painted many cute animals, such as birds, cats and squirrels, in the tree holes. These little animals look as if they were living or hiding there. The paintings don't hurt the trees. Instead, they cover the holes and prevent the trees from losing water.Thanks to the eff orts of these artists, the natural “scars” of the trees have been turned into colourful works of art. These treehole paintings don't just beautify the streets. They also help raise people's awareness of environmental protection. They're the warm decoration in the cold season.开心辞典scar n.伤疤hide v.躲藏injured adj.受伤的instead adv.相反fill v.(使)充满prevent v.阻止cement n.水泥effort n.努力material n.材料，原料beautify v.美化ugly adj.丑陋的，难看的raise v.提升urban adj.城市的awareness n.认识，意识environment n.自然环境as if仿佛，似乎district n.地区，区域thanks to由于，幸亏。
