江苏省淮安市淮安区 2021-2023年中考英语一模试题分类汇编 任务型阅读 2023年江苏省淮安市淮安区中考一模英语试卷 七、阅读回答问题 In the world, China is the second-largest cotton producer(生产地). Most of the cotton grows in the Xinjiang Uygur autonomous region(新疆维吾尔自治区). Cotton needs lots of heat and sunshine to grow. Xinjiang is a good place to grow it. It has lots of sunshine—about 3,000 hours every year. Xinjiang produces over 80 percent of China’s cotton. The most famous cotton in Xinjiang is long-stapled cotton(长绒棉). Its fibers(纤维) are longer, softer, and whiter than those of other cotton. It’s warm and comfortable. It’s good for making cloth and quilts(被子). It’s one of the best kinds of cotton in the world. Every year from August to October, Xinjiang harvests about 5 million tons of cotton. That’s a lot! But now harvesting the cotton is not a hard job for cotton farmers. Technology is here to help. Farmers first fly a drone(无人机) to spray(喷洒) a kind of special water. It makes the cotton leaves fall. Now it’s time to drive the machine. This big machine has a huge “mouth” and sharp “teeth”. It “eats” while walking. Wow, it “eats up” all the cotton in the field! The big guy “lays eggs” next. Look, it has left some round and tall cotton “eggs”! Then, farmers can pick up the cotton. Every year, after the harvest season, the fresh cotton is sent to the factories nearby. There, the cotton is made into cloth and quilts. 根据上面短文的内容，回答问题。（每题答案不超过六个单词） 61．According to the passage, where does most of the cotton grow? ______________________________________________________________ 62．What is the cotton in Xinjiang good for making? ______________________________________________________________ 63．Is harvesting the cotton hard or easy for cotton farmers in Xinjiang now? ______________________________________________________________ 64．How many tons of cotton does Xinjiang harvest every year? ______________________________________________________________ 65．What do you think of the cotton in Xinjiang? ___________________________________
