I got different answers atdifferent ages.When I was young, I thought sound was very important to us, so I said, "My ears, Mum. "But she shookher head and said no. Several years passed, and she asked me a gain. I believed that I got the right answer after thinking it over. So I told her，"Sight is very important to everyone, so it must be our eyes."But she told me I was wrong. I tried many times after that, but her answer was always the same. Tilllast year, my grandma died. Everybody was crying, and everybody was hurt. My mom looked at me and askedme with tears in her eyes，"Do you know the answer now？"I was surprised when she asked me this question then. "My son, the answer is your shoulder. Everyone needs a shoulder to cry on. "Finally, I realized (意识到)all she hoped is that I can have enough love and friends so that I willhave a shoulder to cry on when I need it.（1） According to the passage, ________ are the most important part of the body.A . eyesB . earsC . feetD . shoulders（2） The writer gave ________ to the same question at different ages.A . the same answerB . different answersC . four answersD . the right answer（3） ________ gave the right answer to the question at last.A .

What one person considers a priceless masterpiece others might see as nothing more than a giant black square. But there's one very specific kind of painting that almost everyone sees the same way-the kind with the" "strange" eyes that seem to follow you around the room.So what causes this optical illusion (视觉错觉) and how do artists achieve this effect?It turns out, for even a moderately skilled artist, this effect isn't a difficult thing to achieve,In fact, the artists need to use a little illusion of depth, making the person depicted on the canvasappears somewhat 3D on a 2D canvas, and to adjust .the gaze (凝视) of the eyes so that they would be looking at someone standing right in front of the picture.So what exactly is going on here in our brains that then makes it seem like the eyes follow you evenif you move away from being front and center? As demonstrated by a team of researchers from Ohio StateUniversity, as you move to the side, the "near? and "far" points of the 2D image don't really change.These near and far points are defined as visible points that, if the image was 3D, would appear nearestand furthest away from the viewer at a given angle.The idea is simple. No matter what angle you look at a paining from, the painting itself doesn'tchange. You're looking at a flat surface. The key is that the near points and far points of the pictureremained the same no matter the angle the picture was viewed from. When observing real surfaces in thenatural environment the near and far points vary when we change viewing direction. When we observe apicture on the wall, the visual information that defines near and far points is unaffected by viewingdirection. Still, we willingly accept and interpret the thing in the painting as if it were a real object.Thus, because the perspective, shadows, and light on the painting don't change as you move around,if the eyes in the painting would be staring directly at the observer who is standing in front of thepainting, it creates something of an optical illusion in your brain so that the eyes will continue toseem to stare at you as you move to the side.In contrast to the eyes following you trick, if the artist tweaks the painting a bit, for examplethe artist adjusts the gaze of the eyes so that the eyes are looking off somewhere else instead of directly looking at a potential observer, no matter where you stand, the eyes will never seem to be looking atyou.The technique first began popularly showing up in art around the 14th century when the artist andarchitect Fillipo Brunelleshi introduced the art world to the idea of "linear perspective", being painting with the idea of everything in the picture converging (聚集) on a specific point on the horizon, creating the illusion of depth. Linear perspective, combined with skilled use of light and shadow, allows artists to create masterfully realistic paintings, including sometimes of people that stare at you creepily nomatter where you stand.（1） What's the writer's purpose of writing Paragraph 1?A . To lead in the question why staring eyes seem to follow us in a painting,B . To make a comparison between a priceless masterpiece and a black square.C . To introduce the topic that the optical illusion can make the painting look real.D . To prove that people can think alike when they admire a certain kind of painting.（2） What can we learn from the passage?A . The visible points of the image won't change in the natural environment.B . The near and far points of a painting are affected by our viewing direction.C . The viewing direction of viewers can make the image in the painting look tealD . The optical illusion in our brain makes us feel the eyes in the painting staring at us.（3） The 3rd paragraph is mainly about __________.A . who took part in the research.B . how long the research lasted.C . what was found in the research,D . how the research was performed.（4） What's the meaning of the underlined word "tweak" in the passage?A . changeB . decorateC . moveD . turn3. （10分） (2017八下·萧山期中) 阅读下列短文, 从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中选出最佳选项。

We are polluting earth, air, water and everything around us. We can't live without thesethings. If things go on like this, we shall destroy ourselves.What will happen in the future? Perhaps it's more important to ask "What must we do?". More and more young people have known this. Many of them are helping to save our earth. For example, they plant trees. In a small town in the United States a large group of girls cleaned the banks of 11 kilometres of theirriver. Young people may hear about conservation through a song called "No one's going to change our world". It was made by Cliff Gichard and other singers.

They help with the housework and do difficult and heavy jobs.So me scientists think that there will be such robots in the future. But they say it may take hundreds of years. Scientists are now trying to make robots look like people and do the same things as us. Japanese companies have already made robots walk and dance.James White thinks that it will be difficult for a robot to do the same things as a person. But other scientists don't think so. They think robots can do the same thing as us in 50 years.Robot scientists are trying to make robots look like not only people but also animals. For example, there are already robots working in factories. They do easy jobs over and over again. People would not like to do such jobs and would get bored(感到无聊的). But robots will never get bored and tired.In the future, there will be more robots everywhere, and humans will have less work to do. New robots will have many different shapes(形状).

Researchers at Newcastle University in the United Kingdom have developed the French Digital(数字的) Kitchen. Professor Paul Seedhouse led the project."It works like a satellite navigation(导航) system in a car. The system can tell whether you've done what you were asked to do or not. For example, the sensor(传感器) in the knife not only knows that the knife is moving, but it also knows how the knife is moving. So it can discover whether the knife is slicing (切), whether it's scraping (刮) or what. And so it doesn't go on to the next stage of the program unless you've done what it senses(感到)you should have done," said Paul Seedhouse.Students can ask the computer to repeat the instructions or translate them into English. There are vocabulary(词汇) lessons before and after the cooking.Professor Seedhouse became interested in the idea after he visited a talking kitchen designed for a different purpose. In his opinion the French Digital Kitchen turns the process (过程) of learning language into a real life experience. "Here you're taking it out of the classroom and you're actually using the language to produce something which you can eat at the end of it. It's very enjoyable," he said.The system will be available for sale by the end of 2020. Adding the technology to a new kitchen could add about ten to twenty percent to the building costs. The system could also be added to an existing(现存的) kitchen.The researchers are also developing a new digital(的呼吸法) kitchen system that is easy to carry or to move. And the European Union has given them money to begin programs in six other languages, including English, Italian and Spanish.（1） What's mainly described in the text?A . A satellite navigation system.B . A talking kitchen.C . A learning tool.D . A sensor.（2） The second paragraph tells readers .A . how the talking kitchen worksB . why there's a sensor in the knifeC . what a satellite navigation system isD . how to use the knife in the talking kitchen（3） Which of the following about the talking kitchen is TRUE?A . It can be used in a car.B . It's easy to be carried and moved.C . It can be put into an old kitchen.D . It can only speak French and English now.（4） Which part of a magazine may the text appear in?A . Science &. Technology.B . Life & Style.C . Advertisement.D . Entertainment.3. （10分） (2017九上·固镇月考) 阅读理解Thousands of years ago,in the south of ancient China,there lived Shennong,a man who had an ox head and human body.Seeing that local people were suffering from disease,he built ladders and houses on a high mountain to store hundreds of medical plants.To remember him,people named the place shennongjia.The legend(传说）makes Shennongjia in Hubei an inciting place for tourists.Traveling there is a unique experience,as you can see sceneries of the four seasons from different altitudes(海拔）.“When the bottom of the mountain is summer,the top is spring and while the foothill is autumn,the top is covered withice,”local people say of the special climate of Shennongjia.Shennongjia is also home to 5,000 species of animals and plants.Many animals in danger live there,such as the golden monkey,the clouded leopard and the Asian black bear.One interesting and mysterious(奇妙的）thing about Shennongjia is its legend of wild men.Some people once claimed that they saw big prints or big-foot creatures.Yet so far,scientists haven't proved it is true and some say they are just bears.The beautiful place has recently received a new title.On July 17,2016,Shennongjia Forestry District was added to United Nations World Heritage list as a natural site.Chins now has 50 world heritage sites(遗址），second only to Italy in the world.（1） Which of the following is right about Shennong?A .

Imagine seeing an empty car passing by on its way to pick up its owner, or a car full of passengers who are reading, listening to music or even sleeping. But none of them are worried about the road ahead.Well, all of this could be the future of driving. There are several companies, including Google, working on driverless cars. So far, no Google self-driven car has gotten a traffic ticket, but some of them have been in accidents when other cars hit them.These cars are now still in the testing stages. But, if the tests are successful, these electric self-driven cars could be put into use very soon.The cars already have many features（特点）allowing them to take the place of drivers during certain situations. Some features include cars being able to park themselves, or slow down when they notice objects close by. They can also control the speed if there are dangerous conditions.Scientists and engineers believe, with the help of wireless signals, cameras and GPS, we are now at a stage where creating a safe self-driven car might be possible.The cause of deadly road accidents is usually careless drivers or dangerous conditions. The self-driven car may be able to prevent these. However, some people do not like the idea. American lawyer Whit Drake, for example, doesn't believe these cars are safe. He thinks that technologies can also be mistakes.（1）The main purpose of the first paragraph is to _____A . make readers wonder about self-driven cars.B . get readers to pay attention to road safety.C . tell readers to keep away from heavy traffic.D . tell readers what self-driven cars look like.（2）From the passage, we know that the testing self-driven cars can already ______A . avoid being hit by other vehicles on roads.B . control the speed in dangerous situations.C . turn around when getting near objects.D . pick up their owners.（3）What might make the self-driven cars run safely according to the passage?a. e-readingb. wireless signalsc. camerasd. GPSA . a, b, cB . a, b, dC . b, c, dD . a, c, d（4）What is Whit Drake's attitude toward the safety of the self-driven cars?A . He has doubt about it.B . He believes it completely.C . He doesn't care about it.D . He thinks its technologies are convincing（使人信服的）.5. （10分）(2019·葫芦岛) 阅读理解Humans can go to the hospital when they're ill. But as for animals, what should they do？To stay healthy, animals have their own ways to heal(治愈)themselves. Now let's get to know their special skills.Skill OneHave you ever seen your dog or cat lick(舔)its wounds？Why do they do it？It probably feels good, but it's good medicine. Licking cleans a wound, and saliva(唾液)has chemicals that kill germs(细菌).Skill TwoTo avoid diseases, many animals have good living habits. They hate to be dirty. Most animals separate their pooping(排便)areas from their eating areas. Horses poop far away from the grass they eat. Rabbits put their poop in special pooping areas.Skill ThreeHave you ever heard of the expression "starve a fever(发烧时宜饿)"？Many animals stop eating when they're ill. When a sick animal stops eating, it can stop germs from getting necessary things.Skill FourAnother way that animals heal themselves is to raise their body temperature. High temperature can kill germs. Warm—blooded animals(like us)get fevers to fight with germs.Cold—blooded animals(like snakes)look for pieces of wood or rocks heated by the sun.Fish move to warmer waters.（1） A cat cleans its___ by licking.A . medicineB . salivaC . woundD . chemicals（2） In order to avoid diseases，horses and rabbits___.A . eat special grassB . choose dirty areasC . put poop into holesD . have good living habits（3） Starving can stop germs from getting___ things.A . wildB . wasteC . necessaryD . useless（4） Fish move to warmer waters to___.A . lick their woundsB . keep themselves cleanC . starve a feverD . raise their body temperature（5） We may find the passage in a___.A . science novelB . magazineC . travel guideD . storybook参考答案一、阅读理解 (共5题；共52分)1、答案：略2、答案：略3、答案：略4、答案：略5、答案：略第11 页共11 页。

AArtificial intelligence(AI，人工智能)can help us make phone calls. It can guide us to where we wantto 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 newsstories. Then，language experts compared the results to the translation that were done by humans. Theexperts 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 researchis 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 sentencefrom 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 makesure their translations are exact.Another method makes use of deliberation networks(推敲网络)．The researchers taught the system torepeat 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 throughit again and again.( )1. Microsoft created a system that can ________.A. make phone callsB. give people directionsC. play games with peopleD. translate news articles( )2. What did the experts say about the system's translations?A. They were not exact.B. They were as good as human translations.C. They were better than human translations.D. It's hard to tell whether the translations were correct.( )3. Dual learning trains the system to translate ________.A. more quicklyB. different sentencesC. more exactlyD. the same sentence repeatedly( )4.

The passage wants to tell us ________.A. what artificial intelligence can do for usB. how sentences are translated from Chinese to EnglishC. how the machine translation system was developedD. why Microsoft created a machine translation systemBTeenagers are known for being creative and full of new ideas. Let’s have a look at these teenage inventions that might change the world.Banana leaves usually go bad in two or three days. Tenth Hadith, a teenager from India, used UV to make the leaves stay fresh for a year. Tenth thinks that one day the leaves will be used for making plates,cups and other things.David Cohen, an American teenager, built an earthworm(蚯蚓) robot. It is able to go into the smallestplaces, where humans or dogs can’t go. It will be used for finding people in a fire or an earthquake.Remya Jose, a 14-year-old from India, found it tiring and boring to hand wash clothes in the nearbyriver. She reused some bicycle parts and created a washing machine that saves time, energy and keepspeople fit at the same time.Kenneth Shinozuku, a 15-year-old from New Y ork, noticed that his grandfather who got Alzheimer＇s disease （老年痴呆） would often leave home and get lost.

We see it any place we go and， in fact， almost all of us carry some pieceoftechnology 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 a lmost 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 sametime， 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 betterspent 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 yourlanguage 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. TheUnited 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 o rganizations only require you to work an hour a week-some even less. And the support provided by online volunteers can really helpmake a difference to those in need.( )1.

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'vehit 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?

Scientists say that more than40 percent of teenagers and adults consider themselves shy. Shyness is feeling a little nervous or asif 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 getover being shy, I decided to do little steps at a time, including practicing smiling and saying hi topeople. And it worked for me. “But shyness is not the kind of thing that most people can get over overnight. Overcoming shyness taketime 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 itso 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 thetruth. Explain that you are shy and feel nervous but enjoy talking to people.Make things easy f or 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.

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 thecentury—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 newly-discovered planet is a little larger than earth. Scientists have namedit Proxima B. It moves around its sun，Proximal Central once every 11 days.American scientists have been using instruments for years to look for earth-like 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 onlyconfirms(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 earth-like planet，which he considers surprising.So from the early number of a billion，this new research suggests there may be as many possibleearth-like 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 beingswill 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 t he underlined word “This” stand for in the last paragraph?A. Scientists have discovered an earth-like planet last month.B. There are far more earth-like 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 experimentsshow.The researchers asked 25 university students to join in their sleep experiment. They were asked toget 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 badsleep.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 weresleepy, 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 oftenunconscious (无意识的), hut we all do it, and we are able to judge on even something small like whethersomeone 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 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. Peoplejust 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 sufferedfrom 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 andbuilt a website for the app. Hannah also shared her idea in her summer business class. Some a pp 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 help ing others. “It makes everything I went through last year worthit，” 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 low-cost space-lines have entered the market and you can now find flights for such a trip for aslow 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 a s 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 thirty-minute weightlessness during the three-hour 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 i t is fully functional，it will start to ship cargo to space. But it will accept passengers as soon as possible to get back thelarge investment. Even if the elevator becomes successful，it will take several years before there aremore 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 consider a 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 high-altitudeflight 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. high-incomeC. low-costD. low-income( )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 elevatorscome 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 waterthan in air. The objects appear closer to you than they exactly are. You might find yourself reachingout 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 tellany stories about the big fish that got away. That fish might not be so big after all! It's just becausesometimes 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 colorsare 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 tothe 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 enjoythe 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 p assage.A. 上升B. 酒污C. 屏息D. 下潜( )4. Which of the following is true?A. A four-meter-long 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 machinesability 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 ride-hailing(网约车) drivers and lets people pay for things with a smile.AI is also used in self-driving cars，which are believed to be the future of driving. Most driversmay wave or nod at passers-by to let them cross the street，but self-driving cars don't have this abi lity. Carmakers are testing a light signal system to help them “speak” to humans. The system can show whatself-driving cars will do. For example，if a driverless car is yielding(让路)，it will flash two whitelights side to side. A rapidly flashing light tell s passers-by that the car is about to speed up.Service Robots also show you how powerful AI is. Imagine this—you come back from school and your robot housekeeper is waiting for you at the door. After dinner，he teaches you to play the piano，just like a real music teacher. Such thoughts will soon happen in the real world. In the future，more and more service robots will become good home helpers.AI is so powerful that it can help human beings and even replace us in many jobs.( )1. What does the underlined word “identify” in Paragraph 2 probably mean?A. To let somebody know his mistakes.B. To come to realize and tell who is who.C. To take somebody to the police station.D. To inform somebody of something important.( )2. According to the passage，what is facial recognition used for?A. Driving cars.B. Making people smile.C. Calling the police.D. Checking people's information.( )3. Which technology has been used in real life according to the passage?。

Now satellites are helping to forecast（预报）the weather. They are in space, and they can reach any part of the world. The satellites take pictures of the atmosphere（大气）, because this is where the weather forms（形成）. They send these pictures to the weather stations. So meteorologists（气象学家）can see the weather of any part of the world. From the pictures, the scientists can often say how the weather will change.Today, nearly five hundred weather stations in sixty countries receive satellite pictures. When they receive new pictures, the meteorologists pare（比较）them with earlier ones. Perhaps they may find that the clouds have changed during the last few hours. This may mean that the weather on the ground may soon change, too. In their next weather forecast, the meteorologists can say this.So the weather satellites are a great help to the meteorologists. Before satellites were invented, the scientists could forecast the weather for about 24 or 48 hours. Now they can make good forecasts for three or five days. Soon, perhaps, they may be able to forecast the weather for a week or more ahead（提前）.1. Satellites travel _____________.A. in spaceB. in the atmosphereC. above the groundD. above space2. Why do we use the weather satellites to take pictures of the atmosphere? Because __________.A. the weather satellites can do it easilyB. clouds form thereC. the weather forms thereD. the pictures can forecast the weather3.

人教版2020年备战中考初中英语专项训练—阅读理解（科普环保类）D卷姓名:________ 班级:________ 成绩:________一、阅读理解 (共5题；共52分)1. （10分）(2019·泉州模拟) 阅读理解We usually think that plants always stay quiet and never speak. Grass doesn't cry when you cut it; flowers don't shout when they're picked. But this view of the world couldn't be more wrong. Plants talk to each other all the time. Their language is one of chemicals.Over the years, scientists have found that different types of plants, from trees to tomatoes, send compounds(复合物)into the air to help neighboring plants. But exactly how plants receive and act on many of these signals is still a mystery.Scientists from Kyoto University in Japan looked at tomato plants that had been bitten by insects. To start out, they grew plants in two plastic bags connected by a tube(管子). One plant had been bitten by insects. The other was not bitten.They found that when insects bite plant leaves, the plants don't sit quietly. They send a chemical called "hexvic" into the air. Humans can't notice it, but these chemicals carry a smell that neighboring plants can notice. This way, neighboring plants realize the danger and begin to give off more "hexvic" to protect themselves.The same scientists continued their research by placing insects on the plants that had not been bitten. The plants were able to kill nearly 50 percent of the invaders, much more than their neighbor.It was surprising that the plants that had not been bitten didn't send the chemical until the received a warning message from their infested(受侵的)neighbor, the scientists said. These findings could be used to help farmers with the control of the insects which do harm to their plants.（1） When bitten by insects, the tomato plant __________ .A . stayed quiet without doing anythingB . died immediately after thatC . sent out a chemical to warn othersD . wouldn't be hurt again by the same insects（2） What does the underlined word "invaders" in Paragraph 5 refer to?A . ScientistsB . Insects.C . Compounds.D . Farmers.（3） What can we learn from the research?A . Tomato plants are easily bitten by insects.B . The smell of hexvic is a kind of warning message.C . Hexvic can help plants kill all the insects near them.D . Plants won't give off chemicals until they are hurt.（4） Which of the following is True according to the passage?A . Plants don't communicate with each other.B . Scientists did the research with two plants bitten by insects.C . The findings of the research help farmers to protect their plants.D . Communication among plants is no longer a mystery.（5） What's the best title of the passage?A . Growing TomatoesB . Talking PlantsC . Harmful ChemicalsD . Scientific Researches2. （12分）阅读理解As space science develops, man has learned more and more about space. Space is not only amazing but also dangerous. While working in space, spacemen are facing danger as well as success.Scientists have found out that radiation(辐射) is the greatest danger to spacemen in space. When spacemen are working in space, they are in danger of radiation from the sun and other stars, which is bad for their health. The damage(危害) done by radiation won't be discovered until their children or even grandchildren are born. Some special medicine may work a little, but no really helpful medicine has been.Space junk is also thought a great danger to spacemen. It's reported that there are 9, 000man﹣made things flying in space. About 30% of these are satellites, 10% are spaceships, and the rest are space junk. An explosion(爆炸) in 1996made a cloud of 300, 000 fragments, each at least 4mm in size, and even a small piece of these knocked against a spaceship window and did some damage. Scientists are watching and reporting any possible danger all the time. They are working on helpful ways to do with space junk.Although space is really dangerous, it interests everyone on the earth. In the near future, it may become usual for people to spend a few days in a space hotel. We may even choose to leave the earth and live in space in a few years. So we should care for space and do something to help improve the space environment.（1）shows the man-made things in space in the correct way.A .B .C .D .（2） Space junk and radiation in space are dangerous to .A . spacemen working in spaceB . people only on the earthC . all the people except childrenD . the old people on the earth（3） The underlined word "fragments" means " ".A . 烟雾B . 泡沫C . 云块D . 碎片（4） Which of the following about the passage (短文) is TRUEA . The passage tells us that radiation in space comes from the sun and other stars.B . Every one of us can make a trip to space now.C . Scientists have found out ways to solve any problem in space.D . People are afraid to travel to space because it's too dangerous.（5） The best title(标题) of the passage is .A . Space RadiationB . Space DangerC . Space JunkD . Space Travel3. （10分） In the most southern part of our planet, there's a place that's covered with snow and ice all year round. But it has the clearest and cleanest air. Amazingly, in this place, the sun sometimes hangs even in the midnight sky. This place is Antarctica (南极洲): the coldest, windiest and harshest (恶劣的) place on the Earth.As the world's least-known place, Antarctica is of great interest to scientists around the world. In 1983, China joined the Antarctic Treaty (《南极条约》). The treaty made Antarctica a peaceful place for member countries to do scientific research. During 30 years, China has sent many scientists to Antarctica. They mostly look at the resources under the icy land and do research about climate change and marine (海洋的) biology.Antarctica is a place with fantastic views. However, life there is very hard. Food is one of the biggest problems. Frozen food which can be heated easily is people’s daily food. Fresh vegetables are hard to grow in the cold weather. Therefore, scientists often eat dried or canned vegetables.Sleep is also troublesome. In Antarctica, summer lasts from November to March. During this period, Antarctica points to the sun and receives sunlight 24 hours a day. In order to get some sleep, scientists cover the windows with black plastic cloth to create “night”.Working in Antarctica is dangerous, especially when meeting gale-force(七级以上的)winds.Sometimes the wind is even stronger than a typhoon.It can easily blow people away.So there are ropes that connectbuildings of some research stations.People can hold these ropes to keep their balance in forceful winds.What's more, communicating with others is difficult. Without cables and Internet in some research stations, two-way radios are the only tools to communicate. If people want to say hello to friends and relatives, they can use satellite phones.Although it is challenging（挑战） to work in Antarctica, scientists' passion to learn about this mysterious land will never end. It is hopeful that one day they will step every corner of this icy land.（1）Scientists from China go to Antarctica to _____.A . find out ways to control water pollutionB . research climate change and marine biologyC . grow plants and vegetables in special conditionD . stop the hunters from killing the marine biology（2）In order to sleep well in Antarctica, the scientists have to _____.A . wear more clothes to keep warmB . cover the windows with black clothC . connect research stations with ropesD . eat more fried and canned vegetables（3）We can replace (替换) the underlined word passion in the last paragraph with .A . strong loveB . full preparationC . pleasant introductionD . amazing imagination（4）The passage is mainly about .A . view of the AntarcticaB . exploring the AntarcticaC . how to survive in the AntarcticaD . climate changes of the Antarctica4. （10分） What might the future be like? Here are some predictions(预言).Returning home during the Spring Festival is difficult for many Chinese people. More than 2 billion people travel at the same time, making buying travel tickets and the journey difficult. But 28 years later, Spring Festival travel may not be a problem at all. China plans to build more railways and a fast transportation network that will serve 90% of the population by 2020. And because most of China will be cities, people will not have to go to other places to find a job, so it will no longer be a problem.Oil is running out faster than expected. But scientists have found something else for oil as fuel(燃料). Coal, natural gas, sun power, nuclear power(核能) and even water can take the place of oil as energy.Schools will go electronic. Computers will be important and popular among the students. Everything will be in the computer and students will not need to bring books to school. They will find information on the Internet. A computer will be the students’ library, schoolbag and connection to the outside world. Ther e will be robot teachers, they will check homework on computers and communicate with the students’ parents through e-mail. And school buses will be like spaceships, comfortable and safe.（1）More than 2 billion people have a hard time returning home during according to the passage.A . Christmas DayB . National DayC . the Spring FestivalD . the Mid-autumn Festival（2）In 2020, China will build a fast transportation network that will serve of the population.A . 60%B . 70%C . 80%D . 90%（3）is not mentioned in the passage as energy.A . CoalB . WindC . Nuclear powerD .

The eight planets in our solar system are Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune.Mercury is the closest planet to the sun. It is very small and has a rocky surface. It has no atmosphere to speak of, which means it is extremely hot during the day and extremely cold at night.Venus is often called Earth's twin because it is similar in size and composition. However, Venus has a thick atmosphere made mostly of carbon dioxide, which causes a runaway greenhouse effect and makes the planet very hot.Earth is the only planet known to support life. It has a moderate climate, a breathable atmosphere, and abundant water.Mars is known as the Red Planet because of its reddish color. It has a thin atmosphere and evidence of past water on its surface.Jupiter is the largest planet in the solar system.

Here is a 5R rule for us:ReduceIf you want to reduce waste, you should use things wisely(明智地). A larger number of trees are cut down to make paper. If everyone uses paper carelessly, soon we will not have any trees left. Other things are also being wasted, and people don't know what to do with the waste in big cities. So it is necessary to use things wisely.ReuseYou should always think of reusing the usable things before throwing them away. For example, you can give your clothes you do not wear any more to the poor. In a family, you may pass on such clothes to younger brothers or sisters.RecycleBottles, cans and paper can easily be recycled. By recycling them we save lots of time and money. For example, Coke cans are sent to a factory, where they are smashed flat (压平) and melted(融化) and the metal things are made for new Coke cans.Recover(恢复)When you buy a box of apples, there may be a few rotten(腐烂的) apples, you have two choices(选择): One is to throw the whole apples away, or you can cut off the rotten parts and keep the good parts. In the way, you are recovering the eatable(能吃的) parts of food.RepairIf one of the legs of your table is broken, you can repair it. If you want to change for better ones,it is better for you to sell the old things or give them to other people who can use them after doing some repair.（1） The "reduce" rule mainly wants us .A . to use things wiselyB . to cut down many treesC . to use a lot of paperD . to throw away your old things（2） What's the right order of recycling Coke cans?a. collect the used cansb. melt themc. smash them flatd. send them to a factoryA . a, b, c, dB . a, d, c, bC . d, b, c, aD . c, a, b, d（3） The "recover" rule mainly wants us .A . to throw waste things awayB . to cover waste things with earthC . to get back the useful partsD . to throw the whole things away（4） Which is the best way to do with your broken tables?A . Throwing them away.B . Repairing them.C . Selling them.D . Putting them away.（5） The article is written to remind(提醒) us of .A . planting more treesB . protecting the animalsC . keeping ourselves healthyD . protecting the environment2. （12分） (2019八上·沭阳开学考) 阅读理解Coffee has become the most popular American drink.

Now satellites are helping to forecast（预报）the weather. They are in space, and they can reach any part of the world. The satellites take pictures of the atmosphere（大气）, because this is where the weather forms（形成）. They send these pictures to the weather stations. So meteorologists（气象学家）can see the weather of any part of the world. From the pictures, the scientists can often say how the weather will change.Today, nearly five hundred weather stations in sixty countries receive satellite pictures. When they receive new pictures, the meteorologists compare（比较）them with earlier ones. Perhaps they may find that the clouds have changed during the last few hours. This may mean that the weather on the ground may soon change, too. In their next weather forecast, the meteorologists can say this.So the weather satellites are a great help to the meteorologists. Before satellites were invented, the scientists could forecast the weather for about 24 or 48 hours. Now they can make good forecasts for three or five days. Soon, perhaps, they may be able to forecast the weather for a week or more ahead（提前）.1. Satellites travel _____________.A. in spaceB. in the atmosphereC. above the groundD. above space2. Why do we use the weather satellites to take pictures of the atmosphere? Because __________.A. the weather satellites can do it easilyB. clouds form thereC. the weather forms thereD. the pictures can forecast the weather3. Meteorologists forecast the weather __________.A. when they have received satellite picturesB. after they have compared new satellite pictures with earlier onesC. before they received satellite picturesD. during they study satellite pictures4.
