She woke up on Christmas morning and, along with her brother, ran down to see the gifts under the tree. In the living room sat a nice mini bike. For a short moment, Lily was filled with great excitement. She couldn't imagine anything better than getting that bike. Then, she saw a baby doll sitting on the sofa. Then she knew. She knew that the mini bike belonged to her brother and that doll would be hers. It was always like this. Tommy always got cool things: skateboards, science kits. The mini bike was just the latest cool thing. Lily always got the boring gifts: a set of toy cooking kits, a pair of fairy lady's feather wings. They were amazing for other girls, but she didn't like them at all. To Lily, this doll seemed unusually boring again. Tommy had seen that mini-bike in the front window of Moore's Bike Shop, but hadn't Lily too? Tommy had asked for the bike and had said it was the only thing he wanted for Christmas. Although Lily had the same thought, she failed to say it, again. She was a shy girl, even in front of her family. Tommy's eyes grew wide at the bike. He knew it was his--no doll for him. He ran into his parents' room and jumped up and down on the bed, “Thank you, Dad! Thank you, mum!” At the same time Lily walked into the other room silently. She was disappointed and a bit angry. It took a while for anyone to realize she was missing. “What's wrong, Lily?” Papa asked gently. “Did you see your pretty doll?” “I saw it, ”she said unhappily. “What's wrong, honey? You won't believe how long your father waited in line to buy that doll! It was nearly 30 minutes. ”Mama said. Silence. Lily's mouth was fixed. Her face was pale. “Oh, Mama, you know Lily is never excited by presents!” her brother laughed. “Come out and watch me ride!” And so they did. However, Lily made a decision after a while. She needed to speak out what she really thought. Then, she took a deep breath, walked straightly outside. . . 29. Why was Lily unhappy when seeing the gifts? A.

(C) In 1804, two explorers, Meriwether Lewis and William Clark, made an important journey. Today, people know a lot about the places they visited, but 200 years ago there were no maps of that part of the United States. They would travel by boat most of the way and they would make the first maps of that part. They were going to follow where the Missouri River went. They hoped it would take them to the ocean. To help with the exploration, they took more than 40 people and many supplies in three boats, including a lot of food. Also, they made cruel rules. If people broke them, they would get serious punishments. It was summer when they started on this long trip from St. Louis. They traveled slowly, only a few miles every day, because they had to row their boats on the river. They traveled for months and were still far from the ocean. In winter snow and ice made it very difficult to travel, so they camped along the river and waited for spring. Native Americans helped them along the way. They helped them get food, and showed them where places were and how to survive there, especially in the very cold winter. As they traveled, they made maps. Their maps showed the way the river went. It passed through grasslands, and then they were in mountains. When they got to the mountains, they had to leave their boats and walk. It took more than a year for the explorers to get to the ocean. When they got there, they had made maps that would help many people. But they had to bring the maps back. It had taken more than a year to make this first part of the trip. It also took a long time to get back. When the explorers came back in 1806, some people said they were heroes. Their maps would help people explore and develop the new land. Long after their trip, there would be roads to the west. People would travel quickly by car. Today people can travel their route by plane. But if you look out the window from the plane, you will see those high mountains, and you will see what a difficult journey it was. 33. What was the aim of the journey? A. To move to a new land. B. To make a map of the US. C. To become famous explorers. D. To discover where a river ran. 34. What difficulties did they have in the journey? A. They set off without any preparation. B. They moved slowly because they had a big team. C. Bad weather stopped them from travelling in winter. D. They had to find out the way all by themselves. 35. Which map can best show the journey? 36. What does the writer mainly want to express in the last paragraph? A. People have made greater progress in the west of America today. B. There are new ways to explore the west of America today. C. The maps of the west of America haven't changed much. D. Lewis and Clark's journey to the west wasn't that easy. (D) Writing things out by hand might seem boring and slow. But handwriting can boost connections across brain areas. That includes some areas with roles in learning and memory. The new finding further proves handwriting's advantages. In the study, scientists watched the brain activity of college students who wrote by hand or typed words. Compared with when they typed, more of the students' brain areas worked together when students wrote with a pen. The same also showed up in brainwaves that have been connected with forming memories. Before this study, research had shown that handwriting improves spelling and the ability to remember what you've learned. Handwriting also helps the understanding of ideas. Scientists think that the slow process of writing down words gives people more time to understand material and learn it. This new study may explain why handwriting seems so good for memory. There is a basic difference in brain organization for handwriting, compared with typing. The team did not test whether the students had remembered the words they wrote or typed. So it's not yet clear how the increased brain activity influences learning. More study is needed on the differences in brain connections and whether they have a direct relationship with how well people learn. So to write or type? Handwriting may improve learning. But typing is often easier, faster and more practical. So students should decide based on the task, the scientists said. For example, using handwriting to take notes might help you hang on to information, while typing an article could help you get ideas down to the page faster before you forget them. Though more work is needed to find the best way for learning, handwriting has shown its value. So it shouldn't be left behind in the digital age. “Schools need to bring in more writing into learning, ”the scientists said. They agree that handwriting should stick around: “Writing is so good for brains. ”Even more, without it, young people would lose part of the experience of being human, they added. “It's important for them to be able to at least write a shopping list or a love letter. We really think that is important for us. ” 37. What does the underlined word“boost”probably mean? A. To make something interesting. B. To make something quick. C. To make something increase. D. To make something work together. 38. What may this study prove? A. What ability handwriting improves. B. Whether handwriting helps memory. . C. How handwriting improves understanding. D Why handwriting seems good for memory. 39. For what task may handwriting be better than typing? A. Taking notes to prepare for a test. B. Taking notes of new ideas in a discussion. C. Preparing copies of materials for a meeting. D. Searching for information online for a project. 40. What will the scientists probably agree on?. A. Students should be required to learn handwriting. B. Handwriting shouldn't be focused too much as it's out-dated. C. Handwriting is the best way to memorize materials. D. Being able to write a list or letter is enough for people. 2023年广东省广州市天河区中考二模英语试题 三、阅读单选 “No! But it’s unfair!” I cried out. “From now on, no football match tickets,” Dad explained. I rushed out of my room, without turning back. When I entered the sitting room, I saw Hans, one of my father’s good friends. Beside him was a large dog. He walked up to me and said, “I heard you wanted some tickets.” “Who is he?” I asked, very frightened. “This is my dog Lucky,” he replied. “Shall we make a deal? I will give you football match tickets if you can help me watch Lucky for two hours.” I froze with fear. I really wanted the football tickets, but Lucky was another story. First, he had a big head, big teeth and the fur of a cow. What’s worse, his saliva dropped from his mouth from time to time, which made the room dirty and wet. But after some careful thought I agreed. After Hans left, I tried to introduce myself to Lucky. I walked up to him, but he started to bark like thunder. Soon he sprang at me, but I was faster. I ran into my dad’s closet, using every bit of the energy I had. I could hear him right behind me. Suddenly I remembered some belts in the closet. Taking the belts, I made a giant dog collar. And right when he jumped into the closet, I put the collar around his neck, pulling him with strength so that he couldn’t run away. Then I tied him to the door, waiting until he stopped trying to attack me. After some time, Lucky calmed down, so I tried to introduce myself again. This time, he moved nowhere, and I felt encouraged. I carefully walked up to Lucky and patted him on his back. He sat down, and I thought he was getting used to me. I untied his collar, took him downstairs, and found him a snack. I took out a handful of dog food. He ate it, licked my hand and waved his tail. As Lucky and I were playing ball games, Hans appeared. “You did it!” “Yeah, I really did it!” I replied with joy. “Here are the tickets!” he said. 26．What did the writer do to get football tickets?

At 9 a.m., Yang drives to primary schools and middle schools in Xi’an, Shaanxi Province, to teach students about Shaanxi kuaiban. Sometimes, he helps students prepare for competitions. His classes run until about 6 p.m., and then he returns home to prepare classes for the next day. Yang has been teaching young people since 2003 after studying quyi in the university in Beijing. Quyi refers to different kinds of traditional Chinese folk art forms, including storytelling and kuaiban. “Art education is important for students in China. Just as many students learn to play Western musical instruments like the piano and violin, there are many people learning traditional Chinese folk arts, including Shaanxi kuaiban, on which I’ll work for my whole life,” he said. Kuaiban is popular in northern China, including Beijing and Tianjin. It is a traditional Chinese form of telling stories while beating kuaiban, which the art form is named after. Influenced by the art of different areas, kuaiban has developed into many kinds and Shannxi kuaiban is a famous one. According to Yang, Shannxi kuaiban appeared during the late Qing Dynasty and it can be performed by a group of players or only one. With one or two pairs of kuaiban of different sizes in hand, the players use the local language to tell stories, which are usually about heroes. The player tells stories while playing kuaiban, and the watchers can remember the stories in a short time since all the lines rhyme like poems. On June 21, 2021, Shaanxi kuaiban was included on the list of national intangible cultural heritage (NICH国家非物质文化遗产). Thanks to artists like Yang, this traditional Chinese form of storytelling is passed on and stays alive in our country. 30．Why is today a common day for Yang?

More middle and high schools now require students to do certain hours of voluntary work in the community. This is really helpful to the students. They can learn new skills like ways of communicating with other people. At the same time, they will develop responsibilities. Besides, they are likely to do better in school instead of acting badly. They also get work experience that can be helpful later in life. However, some people wonder whether it is worthy if students are forced to do so. They say that many teenagers’ timetables are filled with homework and after-school programs, and forcing them to do more activities will make them stressed out. “I have had a full timetable. Community work is adding another unpleasant and tiring task to me,” says Peter, a middle school student. Other people say that required community work will lead students to expect to get something in return, and finally discourage them from volunteering later in life. But the truth is, if many busy teenagers are given a choice, they would simply avoid doing voluntary work. That’s why required community work is important. In addition, few facts can support that required community work makes young people less interested in future volunteering. In fact, studies show if young people take part in community work, they are more willing to volunteer in future. Amy, a high school student, had to do 75 hours of community work. At first, she was worried how she could find that much time. But to her surprise, she not only finished her work sooner than she’d expected, but also learned a lot, and found that she loved volunteering. Amy is now glad that her community work wasn’t done by choice. “Requiring community work would offer everyone a chance,” she said. Therefore, ask yourself: Would you volunteer if it isn’t required? Could the advantages of volunteering make it worthy of trying? Honestly, I believe community work is something that should be encouraged even if it is just a duty at the beginning. 37．How many advantages of community work are mentioned in paragraph 1? A．3. B．4. C．5. D．6. 38．Why are some people against required community work? A．Because it has a bad effect on students’ study. B．Because it causes more pressure on students. C．Because students are not skillful enough to do it. D．Because students find it hard and get discouraged. 39．What can we learn from the example of Amy? A．Students take part in community work because of love. B．Finishing required community work is possible and helpful. C．Some students don’t have chances to offer community work. D．Required community work may stop students from future volunteering. 40．What is the writer’s opinion on community work? A．He supports doing required community work. B．He thinks required community work is not reasonable. C．He suggests balancing community work and study. D．He advises schools to reduce students’ community work. 2022年广东省广州市天河区中考二模英语试题 三、阅读单选 If you glue weak things together, can you get a much stronger one? The answer may be “Yes” or “No”.

What to learn? ●The corners made of several pieces of paper are much stronger than a single piece. ●The paper gets stronger as you glue together more and more pieces. ●Gluing together many thin pieces of cardboard can become a much stronger one. 26．How many kinds of objects are needed for the experiment?A．5. B．6. C．7. D．8. 27．Which shows the RIGHT steps of the experiment? A．①②④⑤③ B．⑤②④③① C．⑤②①④③ D．①⑤④②③ 28．In which column (栏目) of the newspaper can we most probably read this article? A．Reading Fun B．Teenagers’ Voices C．Learning Discovery D．Science Stories On July 20, 1969, Neil Armstrong became the first person to walk on the moon. The spacesuit Armstrong wore on his lunar journey has become a symbol of courage and human achievement. In 1971, the Smithsonian’s National Air and Space Museum(NASM), in Washington, D．C．, got Armstrong’s suit. It stood proudly on show for visitors, until there were changes in the suit’s appearance. “Over time, the suit started to show signs of deterioration,” Lisa Young said. Young works at NASM and her job is to preserve(维护)historical and cultural objects. “Plastics are difficult to preserve,” Young said. They usually degrade(降解)over time. Neoprene is one type of plastics in Armstrong’s suit. It can turn hard but it’s easy to break into tiny pieces. This would badly damage the spacesuit. Looking for new ways to preserve this historical treasure, NASM took it away from show in 2006. What causes plastics to degrade in the first place? “Many things,” Odile Madden, a scientist in California said. She explained that sunlight, water, wetness, and dust could cause plastics to degrade. “Some plastics will break down no matter what we do,” Madden said. Yet history can still be saved. Scientists have found that storing plastics in cooler temperatures, with lower wetness levels, can slow down degradation. According to Young, Armstrong’s suit is now in storage at a temperature of 17.2°C and a lower relative wetness of 30%. These conditions will be kept when Armstrong’s suit returns to a museum show for the 50th anniversary of the moon landing. Plastic degradation has an effect on the art, too. Now Armstrong’s suit doesn’t appear as beautiful as it was before. The same case also happened on plastic food. Artist Claes Oldenburg created False Food Selection in 1966. It contains plastic food showed in a wooden box. The plastic food used to look real. Now, some of it has become flat and yellow. Georgina Rayner, another scientist at Harvard Art Museums, explained, “The artwork’s wooden box produces an acidic(酸的)gas that destroys plastics. This makes the degradation faster.” But Rayner and her partners said, “Plastics are a part of our history. It’s important to preserve them so that our future generations can understand the journey we’ve taken.” 29．The word “deterioration” in Paragraph 1 probably means “________”. A．getting worse B．getting smaller C．becoming useless D．becoming dangerous 30．Why did NASM stop putting Armstrong’s spacesuit on show in 2006? A．To do some surveys on its plastics. B．To change it with new appearance. C．To look for a better museum for it. D．To find solutions to its plastic problem. 31．How can they make the degradation of Armstrong’s spacesuit slower? A．By putting it on show in a certain museum. B．By storing it with right temperature and wetness. C．By controlling water, fire, dust and sunlight around it. D．By keeping it until the 50th anniversary of the moon landing. 32．What can we infer from the last paragraph? A．Acidic gas is important for the preservation of plastic artworks. B．Breaking down plastics makes the artworks less important. C．Plastic artworks help future generations learn more about history. D．People are advised to live a green life without plastics. When I was only seven, my family took a road trip to San Francisco. My father was driving our family car along the highway. The rain was pouring down so heavily that each drop of rain fell as if it was going to break the windows. I wasn’t scared. The downpour got my attention and interested me. However, my brother, who was only one year younger than me, was annoying me with his unfriendly hits. I tried hard to stop him but failed. I could only complain to Mom and our sister about the fighting in the backseat, but it was useless. My father, who was driving, knew the way to stop us from fighting. So he said, “Boys, do you know that I have learned magic?” My brother and I stopped immediately. “What?” My father replied, “Do you want me to show you some magic?” I felt so excited that I jumped out of my seat. Even my brother showed great interest in what Dad was saying. It was every child’s dream to have a superhero father. “I have the ability to stop the rain from falling. It’s only for short periods of time, so you have to pay close attention,” he said. I was speechless. This seemed to be an impossible trick, even for a superhero. I could only stare at him through the rearview mirror (后视镜), wondering if the magic could really stop the rain. “Are you ready?” he asked. “Yes!” we both answered. “Okay. Let me collect my powers.” There was a short pause. “Okay. First, I have to say the magic words ‘AbraCadabra’. Here we go...AbraCadabra!” And just like that, for one second, the rain stopped! It was a miracle! I was shocked. My dad really was a superhero. How could I not have known? For years, he must have hidden his magical tools in the backyard. I thought his old the bad guys wouldn’t know who he really was. “Wow!” I said to my brother, who seemed to be just as amazed as I was. “Wow...” was all he could say, too. Then our car drove under another overpass. 33．Why was the writer a bit angry at first? A．He was worried about the heavy rain. B．His younger brother kept hitting him. C．He failed to complain about his brother. D．His mother didn’t notice the boys’ fight. 34．What actually stopped the rain? A．The bad guys. B．Father’s magic tools. C．The overpass.

Social media (社交媒体) has its positive aspects, but it can also bring some problems. Have you ever been bored and decided to check your WeChat moments, only to find out that your best friend is at the Great Wall, or one of your classmates is eating delicious noodles at your favorite restaurant, or one of your basketball teammates is visiting the giant pandas in Sichuan? Have you had the feeling that others are enjoying life more than you are? If your answers are both “Yes”, you are experiencing FOMO — the fear of missing out. Researchers have found that over 75% of young people are experiencing FOMO from time to time. Social media is the main culprit for it. Because it is so easy today for people to see what their friends are doing, eating, buying and talking about. And they are afraid of missing out on important and new information when they are away from social networks. However, it is impossible for us to enjoy the same activities others are enjoying on social media. Failing to realize this truth, we often let FOMO lead us to compare our lives with those of others. This comparison leaves us feeling dissatisfied. Why? Because our lives have both good and bad moments, but all we see on social media are the picture-perfect moments others share. FOMO also makes us check social media more often, which can cause feelings of sadness, loneliness and boredom. So what should we do if we have FOMO? Researchers advised that we face it and change our way of thinking. They also explained that taking part in social activities could help us realize that nothing bad was happening. What’s more, they suggested finding the joy in the here and now and not believing the unreal information or news on the Internet. “Take it as a chance to do what you really love, and turn your FOMO into your JOMO -- joy of missing out,” one researcher said. 37．What is the main purpose of Paragraph 2? A．To show what FOMO is with examples. B．To find out if people suffer from FOMO. C．To ask questions about people’s daily lives. D．To give examples about people’s using social media. 38．What does the underlined sentence “Social media is the main culprit for it.” in Paragraph 3 mean? A．Social media helps people get used to FOMO. B．Social media is useful for fighting against FOMO. C．Social media is mainly responsible for causing FOMO.
