2021年安徽中考英语阅读理解+完型填空考前抢分练07 一、阅读理解 1 In late May this year, strong storms passed through Miami-Dade County, Florida, USA. The floods(洪水) turned roads into brown rivers. When storm drains get plugged up(雨水下水道被堵塞), rainwater builds up on the streets. It’s the leading cause of weather—related deaths in the United States. A team of local middle school students made a plan for solving this problem. They are sixth-grade students Alyssa Neuber, Bianca Verri and Jose Pirela, all from Downtown Doral Upper School. With the help of their science teacher, they invented a device(装置) to warn city workers when and where there is a danger of flooding. Bianca, one of the team members, said, “All of us have experienced problems with flooding, and we knew we had to do something about it.”One teacher at the school said, “Floods are common in South Florida, and students at our school hope their device will help.” The students’ device uses a laser system(激光系统). When connected to storm drains, the device could warn the city workers if a drain is plugged up. Then the city workers could clean the drain at once. Their project got support from many people. “Our classmates helped us in the beginning to find information about how to use the laser system,” said the team. “We each took on a task that we are good at and then started to work more closely with our science teacher. Class parents who were engineers also helped us a lot.” During the process(过程) the students learned how to work together as a team and trust each other. Each member put in a lot of effort and finally they made it. 1. How many students worked together to invent the device? A. Three. B. Four. C. Five. 2. What does the device use to warn city workers?
