Chinese students who will go to the US to have summer coursesBWhen you hear the word "hero", you may think of someone like Mahatma Gandhi, who spent his life working for his country. But there are also many everyday heroes—they may not make any great achievements, but they do what they can to help make a difference to peoples lives. Everyday heroes are normal people who are making the world a better place. One such person is Robert lee.Lee grew up in New York City. As he lived in a poor family, he learned from a young age the importance of saving food. When he was in college, he was part of a student group that raised leftover (剩余的) food for the homeless. This experience made him realize how serious the problem of food waste actually was.After graduating from New York University, Lee and a college friend created a nonprofit (非盈利的) organization called Rescuing Leftover Cuisine. Its purpose is to collect unsold food from restaurants and offer it to homeless shelters (庇护处) and food kitchens.The process is simple. Using an app developed by Lee and his team, restaurants report how much leftover food they have each day, and then volunteers collect the food from these restaurants and deliver (投递) it to homeless shelters and food kitchens. In the end, the food will be delivered to those in need. Lee believes this is a very good way of delivery.So far, Lee and his team have successfully delivered over 150,000 kilograms of food, serving almost 300,000 meals to people who need them. Lee has shown how we can take small action to improve the lives of people around us. But Lee says that his work is far from over, “It's just the beginning. With more restaurants, who knows how much more we can do?”19. Robert Lee realized the importance of reducing (减少) food waste because of his_______.A. great abilityB. kind characterC. study experienceD. family background20. The underlined word “they” in the fourth paragraph refers to________.A. volunteersB. restaurantsC. Lee and his teamD. people in need21. Which of the following is the correct process of Rescuing Leftover Cuisine?①People in need of food receive food from homeless shelters or food kitchens.②A volunteer accepts the delivery job by picking up unsold food from the restaurant.③The volunteer delivers the leftover food to homeless shelters or food kitchens.④A restaurant reports how much food they have left each day through an app by Lee's team.A.①②③④B.①④②③C.④②③①D.④③①②22. What might be the best title for this passage?A. Nonprofit OrganizationB. An Everyday HeroC. The Importance of Saving FoodD. The Problem of Food WasteCWhile mothers look forward to Mother's Day, sellers expect the holiday even more. That's because the money spent on meals, flowers, and other presents adds up to billions of dollars, and the spending keeps increasing year after year.Not surprisingly, gifts like rings and necklaces top the list with a $4.6 billion. Trips come in second of $4.4 billion. $2.6 billion will go towards buying flowers. Others include clothing($2.1 billion), electronics(S2.1 billion), and personal services.Though motherhood has been celebrated across the world for centuries, this official (官方的) US holiday started because of the hard work of Anna Jarvis. She came up with the idea in 1905 to honor moms for the hard work they do for their families. The first celebration in 1908 at a Methodist church in Grafton, West Virginia, was such a success that Jarvis made up her mind to make the holiday a national holiday. To achieve her goal, she started a writing campaign (运动) to newspapers and lawmakers about the importance of a special day to honor mothers. While many states, towns, and churches had accepted the holiday by 1912, it took another two years for President Woodrow Wilson to set the second Sunday in May as official Mother's Day.However, soon after the holiday became official, sellers got the opportunity to market their products. Jarvis was not pleased with this. So she spent years speaking out and fighting against the “profiteers (投机商)”While Mother's Day has become increasingly commercial (商业的), most moms would choose spending time with their families and a break from daily chores over going to expensivestores to buy things. So on Mother's Day this year, do something thoughtful like making breakfast or doing laundry, and more importantly, spend time with your mom and give her a hug!23. According to Paragraph 2, people are most likely to spend their money on______on Mother's day.A. tripsB. flowersC. clothingD. rings and necklaces24. The third paragraph mainly tells us how________.A. Anna Jarvis thanked her motherB. the writing campaign was organizedC. Mother's Day became an official holidayD. President Woodrow Wilson honored mothers25. Jarvis was unhappy with the holiday later because she_______.A. wanted to start a better holidayB. failed to make the holiday popularC. found it hard to get it accepted by peopleD. got disappointed at the way of celebration26. We can infer from the last paragraph that most momsA. prefer cooking at home to eating outsideB. expect surprising gifts from their childrenC. consider daily housework really great pleasureD. consider Mother's Day a chance to stay with familiesDThe widespread use of Internet technology has made our lives easier but causes a big challenge to senior citizens (年长者), who are not always comfortable with smartphones and so many new apps.Only a few senior citizens are able to enjoy the advantages that new technologies offer. According to the National Bureau of Statistics, the number of people aged 60 and above was 255 million in 2020, about 17.9% of China's population. But only 23% of them were able to use the Internet. That means more than three-fourths of the senior citizens are not able to enjoy the digital (数字的) advantages.Many senior citizens who can't use smartphones are facing difficulties during this pandemic (疫情). Even with a smartphone in hand and the Internet, many of them still feel helpless. They don’t know how to call a taxi through the apps. It is reported that many shops refused to serveelders who don’t know how to pay by smartphones, instead of letting them pay in cash (现金). Worse still, as they don't know how to get the Internet-based health code (健康码), they are refused to enter many public places.New technologies become popular because they are often of great use in our daily lives. But many senior citizens, especially those who live in the countryside or those whose grown-up children don't live with them, are not able to use the Internet or smartphones. There are different reasons for this. Some senior citizens can't afford smartphones. Others may feel it difficult to learn new things like using smartphones. The digital gap (差距) between the elderly and the young is becoming bigger.However, the elderly should not become a silent group who are kept away from new technologies. It is our responsibility to help them bridge the digital gap, and be patient with them when they face difficulties catching up.27. The numbers in Paragraph 2 show that_______.A. three fourths of the elders can't afford smartphonesB. there are a small number of senior citizens in ChinaC. only 17.9% of the senior citizens can use the smartphonesD. many elders fail to enjoy the convenience of new technologies28. What can we learn from the passage?A. Most elders need help in how to use the appsB. It's a must for everyone to have a smartphoneC. Cash is no longer accepted in the shops in ChingoD. Many shops refuse to offer service to senior citizens29. According to the passage, the writer may feel________ about the situation of senior citizens.A. excitedB. worriedC. surprisedD. angry30. What is the writer's purpose in writing this passage?A. To show new technologies to senior citizens.B. To encourage senior citizens to learn new technologies.C. To raise money for poor senior citizens to buy smartphones.D. To call on people to help senior citizens with new technologies.第二节(共5小题,每小题2分,满分10分)下面文章中有五处(第31-35题)需要添加首句.请从以下选项(A、B、C、D、E和F)中选出符合各段意思的首句。

This is e51．true in the case of miniature art(微型艺术), where, upon close observation, great things are often revealed. The National Gallery of London describes “an artist who paints in great details on a very small scale” as a miniaturist. The pieces that miniaturists create are called miniature art. E52．examples can be dated back to centuries ago in many places around the world. In India, tiny drawings were painted on to palm leaves 7.62 centimeters wide. A 12.5-millimeter-tall carving of a bird, d53．in Lingjing, China, has been called China’s oldest work of art. The carving, about 13,500 years old, might be one of the world’s oldest pieces of miniature art.Over the years, miniaturists have used many different m54．, from paper to plant seeds, to create tiny paintings, sculptures and engravings of people, animals and scenery.Two things are required of each artist: plenty of time and being p55．to create miniature art. The pieces are so tiny that they need to be worked on carefully and slowly. Though small, the pieces must be perfectly formed. Someone o56．said, “A miniature must always be designed forclose observation. It is meant to be held in the hand, watched closely and even to be looked at with a magnifying glass.” Tiny miniature paintings must be accomplished with such fine strokes(笔划) that when the piece is magnified, its amazing detail is enhanced. The same is true for miniature sculptures and all other forms of miniature art. Miniature art began to l57．its attraction in the 19th century when photography appeared. Over the last 30 years, though, miniatures have been made popular again. It is unlikely that miniature art will ever go away as long as people remain fascinated by tiny masterpieces.2021年上海市闵行区中考一模英语试题十二、短文汉语提示填空Few people know about online food delivery apps 10 years ago, but today many would find that it is hard to live w____51____ them.

In some cases, they already p ___51___ better than doctors at diagnosing illness. Also, some patients might feel more c ___52___ sharing their private information with a machine than a person.

He p ___53___robots will do most work of transferring information and teachers will be like assistants. Intelligent robots will read students’ faces, movements and maybe even brain s ___54___. Then they will adapt（使…适应）the information to each student. It’s not a popular opinion and it’s unlikely robots will ever understand other people’s feelings and be able to really connect with humans like another human can.One thing is certain, though. A robot teacher is better than no teacher at all. Teachers all over the world are l ___55___ . In some parts of the world, there aren’t enough teachers and 9 to 16 percent of children under the age of 14 don’t go to school. That problem could be partly solved by robots because they can teach anywhere and won’t suffer from stress, or get t ___56___ , or move somewhere for an easier, higher-paid job.Teaching is generally recognized as difficult and teachers feel overworked.

Do you always try hard when you meet with problems? Here are four reasons for young people to try hard.® It helps us to do well.We often look at people who are successful and wish we could be like them.

People who rely only on their talent and do not work hard r _____72 _____succeed.® It helps us to try new things.Sometimes we can be a bit scared of trying new things.

If we make up our minds to try hard at the new activity and give it our best shot, we could discover that it’s something we are getting to loving doing.® It teaches us how to solve problems.Trying hard is not something we have to do a_____75_____ .

Researchers think it’s due to a lack of motivation. People are better at remembering things that they want too learn. To put it simply,you’re just not that i___53___. Another reason is that putting a new face to a name is morecomp licated than we think, which leads to another problem. We usually don’t make the effort tom___54___ new names immediately. Not only that, but when meeting someone new, we may be thinking about other things and not be paying enough attention.All of this means that we need to take measures to avoid the embarrassment of forgetting a person’s name. One good method is to say a person’s name when you g___55___ them and also repeat it silently to yourself a few times. This type of repetition is essential for learning any typeof skill. Using a memory method, such as l___56___ individual names with something else, also helps.

From time to time people are taken c 81 onto the plane because they are blind. They are not passengers and the plane is not going anywhere. These people are going to have an operation to restore(回复) their sight.The aeroplane is a flying eye hospital that belongs to a medical charity called ORBIS. This organization was established by an American eye doctor called David Paton in 1982. Dr. Paton wanted to treat people who were blind in poor countries. He r 82 that it would not be cheap to set up hospitals in every poor country. So he decided to create a hospital which could go to the places where blind people were most in need of eye doctors.ORBIS has carded out almost 300 medical programmes in over 70 countries and restored the sight of 20000 people. ORBIS has a 83 trained many local doctors and nurses in the skills needed to give blind people back their sight.The ORBIS team consists of five doctors and six nurses drawn from a group of 600 volunteer eye experts in 30 countries. For each programme the ORBIS team flies to an area where blindness is a main p 84 . The team stays in the area for three weeks operating on patients and training local doctors. The flying eye hospital has a large operating room, a laser treatment room and an audio- visual centre. As the eye experts perform their operations in the operating room, the local doctors can watch the surgery and learn t 85 the two-way audio-visual system (双向声像系统).ORBIS is not connected with any country. The United Nation has praised ORBIS as a modelorganization that goes beyond political, religious and cultural differences. ORBIS is e86 to run, however. It receives money from private donations and other charities to meet its 80 million US dollars everyyear. ORBIS is a great s 87 . It continues to fight against the tragedy of blindness wherever it is found throughout the world. 5 宝山Origami (日式手折纸) is the traditional Japanese art of paper folding, which started in the 17th century.

If they are cold water fish, they can livein an aquarium or a fish pond in the garden. Tropical(热带的) fish need a lot more looking after and will d 83 unless they are in a warm tankwith an air pump(泵). Stick insects can be kept in a jar with a fine net tied over the top. Ants can also be kept in a g 84 container(容器) where you can see them working in their tunnels.Most pets also like something to do. It would be a very b 85 life for a budgerigar (虎皮鹦鹉) in its cage without a ladder and a bell or a mirror. Hamsters and mice enjoy e 86 on atreadwheel(踏车). Another thing that is quite necessary in a cage or hutch is to provide an amount of f 87 food and water that is changed daily. Fish, too, need more than just a home. A fish tank should have a floor of sand and a few stones. It is also a good idea to have some plants growingin the water, to help the fish breathe properly.8 嘉定Edward Sims was born in 1892.
