专题04 阅读理解-【好题汇编】5年(2020-2024)中考1年模拟英语真题分类汇编(安徽专用)

专题04 阅读理解 阅读理解是英语能力培养的重点项目，是考试的一个重要题型，分值高、题量大。阅读理解考查的根本是检验学生对有关信息的加工能力。阅读理解能力的重要标志是阅读速度和理解力的正确率。因此，阅读理解要多下功夫。我们常见的题型：主旨大意题、细节理解题、词义猜测题、推理判断题等。 1.细节理解题 细节理解题有时比较直接，理解字面意思即可答题；有时则较为间接，需要归纳、概括和推理才能答题。细节理解题占阅读理解总题量的60%左右，是最重要的得分点。 特殊疑问句形式:以when、where、what、which、who、why、how等疑问词开头引出的问题;通常涉及与主题有关的事实或细节，或就文中的数字进行提问。 【选项规律】 正确选项规律 同义替换 (1)替换关键词。把原文的关键词进行同义替换，如把lose one’s job换成了be out of work (2)改变词性。把原文中的一些词变换了一下词性，如把important变换成of importance (3)改变语态。把原文主动语态转为被动语态，如restored the bridge变换成the bridge was restored 信息归纳 用精炼的语言来概括原文中比较分散或复杂的信息 正话反说 把原文中的意思反过来表达而成为正确选项 原文原词 用原文原词作为正确选项 干扰选项规律 张冠李戴 是原文信息，但不是题目要求的内容 无中生有 符合常识，但不是文章的内容 曲解文意 与原文的内容极其相似，只是在某个细节处有些变动 颠倒是非 在意思上与原文大相径庭甚至完全相反 正误参半 部分正确，部分错误 2.猜测词义题 猜测词义题基本上是阅读理解每年必考的题型。此类题型旨在考查考生根据上下文推断单词、短语或句子的本意或外延含义的能力，既可以考查生词的意义，也可以考查熟词的新意，还可以是对替代词所替代内容的判断。除了直接命题的生词外，阅读文章时，常常也会遇到一些过去未见过的词，但这类生词的词义大都可以通过上下文推断出来。如：What does the underlined word “it” in the first paragraph refer to? 【命题规律】 3.推理判断题 推理判断题是中考阅读理解试题中的重要题型之一, 包括推理和判断两个方面，是考生失分率较高的题型。考查考生透过文章表面文字信息推测文章隐含意思，进行逻辑推理，对文章的细节、作者的态度、意图作出正确推理判断的能力。分析2023中考题可知，推断题呈不断上升的趋势，且由过去简单的对号入座直接答题转向通过语句的同义或反义词及长难句来考查考生对语言的理解能力，难度比之前有所增加。 特殊疑问句形式:以when、where、what、which、who、why、how等疑问词开头引出的问题;通常涉及推断作者态度、文章出处、文章类型、写作意图、下段话题等。如，What can we infer from the last paragraph? /What can we learn about John from the first two paragraphs? 【选项规律】 正确选项特征 同义替换 对原文句子中的关键词进行替换，成为正确选项 正话反说 把原文中的意思反过来表达而成为正确选项。 语言简化 把原文中复杂的语言现象进行简化，设置为答案。 语态变化 改变原文重点词性或语态，给考生制造了某些障碍。 干扰选项特征 张冠李戴 为原文内容，但与题目文不对题，不符合题目要求。 偷梁换柱 在意思上与原文非常相似但在某个细节上有变动。 正误参半 选项内容部分正确，部分错误。 颠倒是非 与原文意思大相径庭或完全相反。 无中生有 符合常识但与原文不符或原文并未提及。 扩缩范围 以偏概全如：almost, all, nearly, never, completely 等绝对词与文章意义不符。 4.主旨大意题 主旨大意题目主要的考查形式：理解段落大意、把握全文主旨和拟定文章标题。该类题目在文章中没有明显的解题依据，需要考生从文章中提炼、抽取一些关键词、主干句进行加工概括，才能归纳出文章的主旨。 特殊疑问句形式:以when、where、what、which、who、why、how等疑问词开头引出的问题;通常涉及段落大意、文章大意或者标题概括等。如：Which of the following is the best title for the text? / What is the first paragraph mainly about? /What is the text mainly about? 【选项规律】 正确选项规律 概括性 涵盖性强，覆盖全文或全段 覆盖性 确定的范围恰当，既不太大，也不太小 精确性 精确性强，不会改变语言表意的程度及色彩 模糊性 不出现细节信息，不含过分肯定或绝对意义的词 干扰选项规律 主题扩大 所给选项内容概括的范围过大，超出文章所述内容 无中生有 符合常识，但不是文章的内容 曲解文意 与原文的内容极其相似，只是在某个细节处有些变动 颠倒是非 在意思上与原文大相径庭甚至完全相反 偷换概念 所给选项被命题者有意识地把本属于A的内容放在B上 1 （2024·中考真题）It’s always a good thing to have a hobby.

As a result, a lot of food is forgotten about and wasted. However, according to a recent research, being aware of (意识到) what you throw away can help you waste less. The researchers measured (计量) food waste from 154 families across the UK. Half of these families in the research were asked to list the fruits and vegetables they had bought and their expiry dates. The families stuck the list on the fridge door and received a text message every day telling them to check it. The other half did not have to make a list and did not receive text messages. Over a six-week period, all the families were asked to measure their food waste at the end of each week. The researchers were surprised to find that making lists and getting texts made little difference to how much food was wasted. However, each family in the research wasted less food—about 0.1 kilo a week. The researchers carried on the research for six months, and found that all the families continued to waste less food. This shows that just measuring food waste encourages people to pay closer attention to it and throw less away. 5. What does the underlined word “it” in paragraph 2 refer to (指的是)? A. The research. B. The list. C. The door. D. The message. 6. What is introduced in paragraph 3 about the six-week research? A. Its purpose. B. Its method. C. Its steps. D. Its results. 7.

Here are some of my suggestions. When you are angry, try to tell yourself through another voice that you are angry and that it is not a bad thing. It just shows that you have different ideas. Accept that many things are not 100% right or wrong. In our communication with others, the final purpose is not to decide who is right and who is wrong, but to look for something in common. If you still feel strong anger, try taking a deep breath (呼吸) and let anger out of your body along with the breath. Don’t say angry words when you are very angry, for you will regret saying them when you cool down. Discussing with a third party is helpful. It is hard for the two parties in anger to understand each other, but the idea of an outsider can help both parties to get mutual (相互的) understanding. Anger is just one of the many emotions (情绪) that make us human, and to well manage it adds to our ability to truly understand the world. 14. What is the final purpose of communication with other people? A. To show different ideas. B. To look for something in common. C. To accept useful suggestions. D. To decide whether one is right or not. 15. What does the writer advise us to do when we can’t cool down? A. Say angry words. B. Try taking a deep breath. C. Control our voices. D.

The main cause is your body clock, a time-keeper inside your body. But how to control and use your body clock? Scientists suggested having a shower before bed. Jumping into the shower around an hour before bed could mean you sleep better. A warm shower helps you relax, and then after it warms you up, your core（核心）body temperature drops. This encourages you to fall asleep more quickly and sleep more soundly. A study in 2019 said that a water temperature of 40℃ to 42. 4℃ produces the best-quality（最优质的）sleep. After people lie down, most of them take about 20 minutes to fall asleep. However, if you have a shower one to two hours before going to bed, you will fall asleep 10 minutes earlier. Core body temperature drops naturally before you sleep, then drops further during the night. It rises again as you wake up. It is thought that taking a warm shower will speed up the drop in temperature before bed, as it brings blood to the surface of the body, and then the heat is given off. 21. What did scientists suggest people do before bed to sleep better? A. Sleep an hour earlier. B. Jump into bed. C. Have a warm shower. D. Set a time clock. 22.

There, we stored our knowledge, and passed it down around the fire, before we invented the written word. I remember going to the local university for an astronomy (天文学) night when I was a child. That night, I saw Saturn, one of the planets, and its rings with my own eyes for the first time. The rings shone bright against the blackness of space and suddenly the universe (宇宙) wasn’t something that you only read about or imagined in your head. It was right there, and you were a part of it. That moment is priceless. While starlight is good, light pollution here on Earth can be a real problem. For the past 200 years or so, we have used too much electricity (电) to make the night brighter. However, brighter doesn’t usually mean better, especially when a lot of that light shines up into the sky where no one needs it.

They are trying to find ways to make food on Mars (火星) in the future. The project is called Feeding Mars. It tries to use water, fish and fish waste to grow fruit and vegetables on Mars. It would take at least 21 months to reach Mars, learn about its surface and return to Earth. So it would be a big help if the spacemen could grow fresh food on Mars itself. Farming on Mars, however, will be very hard. There’s plenty of water that could be taken from ice just below the surface, but the land on Mars is missing the nutrients (养分) that living things need. The team say that they could solve the problem by growing plants and fish together. Fish waste can then be used to provide nutrients for plants. “It is expected that you can grow lots of food, such as vegetables, salads, teas and medicinal plants on Mars,” said Dr Benz Kotzen, who leads the project. “You can even harvest (捕获) fish for food then.” 38. What does the underlined word “It” in Paragraph 1 refer to (指的是)? A. The future. B. The project. C. The land. D. The planet. 39. What makes it difficult to farm on Mars? A. Ice below the surface. B.

In a way, Xinhua Dictionary has not only explained words, but also shaped the way Chinese people think. “When children write about a spring trip, they describe the sky as ‘cloudless for ten thousand miles’and they ‘sing and dance’on the way,” read a 2010 report. “Both sentences are based on examples in the Xinhua Dictionary.” 90.

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. 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. Sleep is also difficult. 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. They can easily blow people away. So there are ropes that connect buildings 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 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 comer of this icy land. 102. Scientists from China go to Antarctica to ________. A. find out ways to control water pollution B. grow plants and vegetables in special condition C. research climate change and marine biology D. stop the hunters from killing the marine life 103.

Now lots of famous fast fashion brands are popular in China, such as Uniqlo, Zara, UR, H&M and so on. However, the fashion industry is not environmentally friendly. To keep prices low, fashion companies often use a kind of material called polyester (聚酯纤维), which is a type of plastic made from oil that is not biodegradable (可生物降解的).

What’s worse, fast fashion clothes aren’t made to last forever because they often go out of style quite quickly. Some people throw their clothes away when they don’t want them anymore. As a result, lots of people are looking for changes. Some clothing brands are helping customers to recycle their clothes in exchange for vouchers (代金券). Some charities have taken action too. Every year since 2019, the charity Oxfam has held Second Hand September, asking people to buy only second-hand clothes in that month.

For Miss Patty, a school bus driver in Erie County, her hobby of knitting (编织) has made her really touch the community. Miss Patty always wanted to do something with her spare time to help the students. After a conversation with one of the students, things took a turn from knitting one hat to knitting more hats. “The one boy gets on the bus, and he goes ‘what are you doing?’ I said, ‘I’m making a hat. He said, ‘That would be great having such a warm hat in icy winter.’ So I said, ‘What color would you like?’ That started everything,” Miss Patty told the local newspaper. Several years have passed since that day, and Miss Patty has already knitted 7, 083 hats for students in her spare time. Sometimes she will get the student’s favorite color before she begins the project. What is more moving is that Miss Patty buys all the materials (材料) using her own money. Some people do give her gift cards around the holidays to help, but she still puts out a lot of her own money.

However, according to a recent research, being aware of (意识到) what you throw away can help you waste less. The researchers measured (计量) food waste from 154 families across the UK. Half of these families in the research were asked to list the fruits and vegetables they had bought and their expiry dates. The families stuck the list on the fridge door and received a text message every day telling them to check it. The other half did not have to make a list and did not receive text messages. Over a six-week period, all the families were asked to measure their food waste at the end of each week. The researchers were surprised to find that making lists and getting texts made little difference to how much food was wasted. However, each family in the research wasted less food—about 0.1 kilo a week. The researchers carried on the research for six months, and found that all the families continued to waste less food. This shows that just measuring food waste encourages people to pay closer attention to it and throw less away. 5. What does the underlined word “it” in paragraph 2 refer to (指的是)? A. The research. B. The list. C. The door. D. The message. 6. What is introduced in paragraph 3 about the six-week research? A. Its purpose. B. Its method. C. Its steps. D. Its results. 7.

YORI is only the latest of Hong’s robot inventions. There’s DAVID, the world’s first and only car that can be driven by the blind. And SAFFiR, a two-legged robot that can do dangerous work that humans are often unable to do. Hong is finding plenty of work for his robots. When he was asked about his biggest success, Hong chose the robot called DARwIn-OP. He thought it was one of the most widely used human-like robots for research and education. Hong’s team made DARwIn’s design free for anyone to use. They have seen many projects using the design. And they consider it a gift to the robotics community. “Many people only want to see our successes and not the failures that came before those, but failure is simply a stepping stone in developing new technology. If you’re too afraid of failure, then you only get to walk on the safer side, and then there’s no innovation (创新),” said Hong. “I tell my students to try breaking the robot. If the robot doesn’t fall and doesn’t break, we don’t get to learn anything.” 11. Which robot is the most recent invention by Dennis Hong’s team? A. YORI. B. DAVI. C. SAFFiR. D. DARwIn-OP. 12.

When you are angry, try to tell yourself through another voice that you are angry and that it is not a bad thing. It just shows that you have different ideas. Accept that many things are not 100% right or wrong. In our communication with others, the final purpose is not to decide who is right and who is wrong, but to look for something in common. If you still feel strong anger, try taking a deep breath (呼吸) and let anger out of your body along with the breath. Don’t say angry words when you are very angry, for you will regret saying them when you cool down. Discussing with a third party is helpful. It is hard for the two parties in anger to understand each other, but the idea of an outsider can help both parties to get mutual (相互的) understanding. Anger is just one of the many emotions (情绪) that make us human, and to well manage it adds to our ability to truly understand the world. 14. What is the final purpose of communication with other people? A. To show different ideas. B. To look for something in common. C. To accept useful suggestions. D. To decide whether one is right or not. 15. What does the writer advise us to do when we can’t cool down? A. Say angry words. B. Try taking a deep breath. C. Control our voices. D. Stop talking with others. 16. What does the underlined word “party” in paragraph 4 mean? A. An activity. B. A visitor. C. A person. D. A meeting. 17. What is the text mainly about? A.

The book contains（包含）the name and the picture of each student in your final year, so that you can remember who you went to school with. A 15-year-old schoolgirl Catherine Cook and her brother David, 16, wanted more than this. They thought, “We don’t really know our classmates from just a picture, so why not have a yearbook online? You could learn about people’s musical tastes, the movies they like, and so on.” With their hard work, a website named myYearbook was set up, which soon became popular among schoolmates. On the website, members can connect with each other by sharing movies, music, photos and study guides. Some students feel that they don’t fit in at school, but can make friends more easily online. MyYearbook users can also make virtual（虚拟的）“Lunch Money” by completing activities on the website. They then give it away to charities（慈善机构） in the myYearbook “causes” programme, which has sent 22,000 books to Africa, and bought 20,000 kilos of rice for people without enough food. Running the website did not stop Catherine and David from completing their schoolwork successfully. Now, they go on to university, but still manage to put in 50 hours a week developing the website. 18. Why did Catherine and David want to have a yearbook online? A. To make more money. B. To become popular at school. C. To watch movies online. D. To know more about schoolmates. 19. What is “Lunch Money” used for? A. Travelling to Africa. B. Helping people in need. C.

Scientists suggested having a shower before bed. Jumping into the shower around an hour before bed could mean you sleep better. A warm shower helps you relax, and then after it warms you up, your core（核心）body temperature drops. This encourages you to fall asleep more quickly and sleep more soundly. A study in 2019 said that a water temperature of 40℃ to 42. 4℃ produces the best-quality（最优质的）sleep. After people lie down, most of them take about 20 minutes to fall asleep. However, if you have a shower one to two hours before going to bed, you will fall asleep 10 minutes earlier. Core body temperature drops naturally before you sleep, then drops further during the night. It rises again as you wake up. It is thought that taking a warm shower will speed up the drop in temperature before bed, as it brings blood to the surface of the body, and then the heat is given off. 21. What did scientists suggest people do before bed to sleep better? A. Sleep an hour earlier. B. Jump into bed. C. Have a warm shower. D. Set a time clock. 22. What does the underlined word “soundly” probably mean? A. Deeply. B. Poorly. C. Kindly. D. Slowly. 23. Which water temperature produces the best-quality sleep according to the study? A. 44.2℃ B. 41.5℃ C. 36.4℃ D. 32.4℃ 24. In which part of a newspaper can you find the text? A. Art. B. Weather. C. History. D.

Others come to learn skills that will help them get good jobs in future. A few are sent by their parents to learn self-control and hard work. “Attracting （吸引）new students to traditional kung fu has become a problem,” says Hu Zhengsheng, who teaches it at a small school in Dengfeng. Hu fears that his art will soon die out. “It’s hard to convince（说服）kids to spend many years here, because the life of kung fu learners is not easy or interesting,” he says. Hu’s students have to sleep in unheated rooms and keep training hard outside whatever the temperature. To learn kung fu well they must have a strong will and learn respect（尊重）as well. For old traditions to live on, the young must learn and pass them down. Recently, to attract new students, Hu has brought some changes into his kung fu lessons to make them lively and interesting. Hopefully, more and more students will show interest in learning kung fu. 25. What does “it” underlined in paragraph 1 refer to（指的是）? A. Kung fu. B. Film. C. Self-control. D. Chinese. 26.

As one of the members of a pop group, Gill had lived a busy life but the farm gave him a way to relax. Although farming was new to him, Gill took the challenge and his experiences helped him write his book Ace and the Animal Heroes. The story follows Ace, whose life changes greatly when he moves to the countryside. After trying on a pair of magical wellies（长筒靴）, Ace realizes he can speak to the animals, who make up their minds to protect the farm. Gill says that if he had his own pair of magical wellies, he would love to speak to wildlife, especially the wild deer（鹿） that sometimes appear near his farm. As they have no owners, Gill feels like he’s sharing their home. “It’s really interesting to hear what they’re thinking and know where they’re at,” he said. Gill got his ideas for writing from the animals on his family farm. His children, Ace and Chiara, helped out with his book. Together, Gill’s family made sure that the pictures in the book looked like the animals they’d been based on. He said, “All of those have been really great to piece the whole book together.” 28.

There, we stored our knowledge, and passed it down around the fire, before we invented the written word. I remember going to the local university for an astronomy (天文学) night when I was a child. That night, I saw Saturn, one of the planets, and its rings with my own eyes for the first time. The rings shone bright against the blackness of space and suddenly the universe (宇宙) wasn’t something that you only read about or imagined in your head. It was right there, and you were a part of it. That moment is priceless. While starlight is good, light pollution here on Earth can be a real problem. For the past 200 years or so, we have used too much electricity (电) to make the night brighter. However, brighter doesn’t usually mean better, especially when a lot of that light shines up into the sky where no one needs it. Luckily, some cities have taken actions, like setting up new downward-directing lights along the streets. I hope that more cities will join in and continue the practice of controlling unnecessary lighting, so that more of us can watch the night sky in a way humans have for thousands of years. 35. What is the night sky compared to? A. A book. B. The earth. C. A library. D. The universe. 36. How did the writer find the astronomy night? A. It opened his eyes. B. It controlled his mind. C. It was a real problem. D. It took him too much time. 37. What does the writer hope for? A. A brighter night. B. Less use of lighting. C. More personal space. D. A better education. 12 （2022·中考真题）A team of scientists are carrying out a project at the University of Greenwich in London. They are trying to find ways to make food on Mars (火星) in the future. The project is called Feeding Mars. It tries to use water, fish and fish waste to grow fruit and vegetables on Mars. It would take at least 21 months to reach Mars, learn about its surface and return to Earth. So it would be a big help if the spacemen could grow fresh food on Mars itself. Farming on Mars, however, will be very hard. There’s plenty of water that could be taken from ice just below the surface, but the land on Mars is missing the nutrients (养分) that living things need. The team say that they could solve the problem by growing plants and fish together. Fish waste can then be used to provide nutrients for plants. “It is expected that you can grow lots of food, such as vegetables, salads, teas and medicinal plants on Mars,” said Dr Benz Kotzen, who leads the project. “You can even harvest (捕获) fish for food then.” 38. What does the underlined word “It” in Paragraph 1 refer to (指的是)? A. The future. B. The project. C. The land. D. The planet. 39. What makes it difficult to farm on Mars? A. Ice below the surface. B. Too much fish waste. C. The missing of living things. D. The poor land condition. 40. How does Dr Benz Kotzen feel about Feeding Mars? A. Hopeful. B. Doubtful. C. Surprised. D. Funny. 13 （2022·中考真题）The Search-for-Lost-Birds list has come to public attention recently. It lists ten kinds of birds that have not been seen in the wild for at least fifteen years.

This year, four expeditions (考察队) are planning to find eight kinds of birds. If any of these lost birds are found, ways can be found to protect them and help their populations grow. This has happened with birds like the Madagascar pochard. The number of this once-lost kind of bird is now increasing. 41. How many kinds of birds are on the Search-for-Lost-Birds list? A. Four. B.

It can weigh 20 pounds. Lion dancing is important to Anthony. “This tradition really lifts me up,” he says. In the past, lion dancing was performed mostly by men. But it is different today. LionDanceMe is a lion dancing group in San Francisco, California. There are boys and girls on its team. They dance together. “Anyone can take up lion dancing. You have to believe that you can do it,” says Ananda Tang-Lee, a 17-year-old girl. Lion dancing will continue to evolve.

More than 600 million copies have been sold. When the dictionary was first published, the name Xinhua meant the hope of a country reborn. In 1949, about 80 percent of China’s population was illiterate (文盲). However, Xinhua Dictionary succeeded in opening up knowledge to millions of Chinese people. “I had no education when I was little. The dictionary helped me get into high school,” said a woman in her 50s. Over the past 50 years, the dictionary has been corrected many times. “鲟” was once explained as “suitable to be eaten”. Later dictionaries made it clear that it was “an animal in danger”. Recent dictionaries have included many new words. Popular expressions like “初心” and “点赞” have also been added to the dictionary. In a way, Xinhua Dictionary has not only explained words, but also shaped the way Chinese people think. “When children write about a spring trip, they describe the sky as ‘cloudless for ten thousand miles’and they ‘sing and dance’on the way,” read a 2010 report. “Both sentences are based on examples in the Xinhua Dictionary.” 90.

And 250 million children of primary school age have no basic reading and writing skills. However, reading makes everything possible in life: education, work and escaping poverty (贫困). Considering that, the Global School Community aims to bring digital books to all the children of the world and their families. ②Digital technology makes a real difference. It can reach across the world and is fairly inexpensive. The Global School Community makes e-books available to children all around the world, either through mobile phones, pads or computers, saving the cost of making books and transport. Technology also helps improve our communication skills. Through the use of technology, schooling (远程教学) is one example of the success of communication through the Internet. ③The first books a child reads can have a great influence on that child. The greater the influence, the more likely the child is to continue reading and learning throughout his life. E-books not only provide knowledge and information, but help people grow healthily in mind. They can provide hours of entertainment and can connect schools all over the world. Studies have shown that children make much progress after only five months of reading e-books. Bido Hafrag, a child from Egypt, said, “Reading e-books not only helps me learn to read and write, but gives me much confidence. It also helps me have a better understanding of the world.” ④The Global School Community has a huge e-book library for every school to enter.

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. 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. Sleep is also difficult. 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. They can easily blow people away. So there are ropes that connect buildings 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 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 comer of this icy land. 102. Scientists from China go to Antarctica to ________. A. find out ways to control water pollution B. grow plants and vegetables in special condition C. research climate change and marine biology D. stop the hunters from killing the marine life 103.

The goal of fast fashion is to get these new styles into shops as fast as possible, so customers can buy them. Now lots of famous fast fashion brands are popular in China, such as Uniqlo, Zara, UR, H&M and so on. However, the fashion industry is not environmentally friendly. To keep prices low, fashion companies often use a kind of material called polyester (聚酯纤维), which is a type of plastic made from oil that is not biodegradable (可生物降解的).

Some maps show cities and some show the stars. Here I will introduce another kind of map, the Nature-in-the-Round map. It will show you the beauty of nature in your own area. To create a Nature-in-the-Round map, you’ll need a piece of paper, a black pencil and some colored pencils or crayons. First, you should draw a large circle (圆) on the paper. Then cut it out. Next, draw a small picture of yourself in the center of the circle. Then take the paper and pencils outside and sit in the middle of an open area. There are four kinds of the Nature-in-the-Round map. They are the sight map, the travel map, the sound map and the seasonal map. The sight map Now look around you. Draw everything that you see around you, including plants, insects and rocks——every natural thing you see. When you finish your picture, head back indoors and color your picture to complete the map. Write when and where your map is created. The travel map The next time you visit a park, a forest, a beach, or any other natural place, draw a map to help you remember your visit.
