B Fleming saw many soldiers die from infections (感染) in their wounds as he worked in a hospital during World War I. This made Fleming decide to find a way to help the body fight infections. In September 1928, Fleming left some glass dishes on a bench in his laboratory for two weeks. When he came back, he noticed something puzzling. Bacteria (细菌) were growing on all the glass dishes except one. On this dish mould (霉菌) had started to grow—the kind found on old bread. The mould seemed to be giving off something that stopped the bacteria from growing. Fleming called it “mould juice”. He tried it on other bacteria, and it killed them, too. Fleming became wild with joy and named it penicillin. Unfortunately, Fleming’s boss thought he was wasting his time and it was impossible to kill bacteria at that time. Fleming did a few more experiments with penicillin, and he also wrote about it so other scientists could learn about it. However, because no one seemed interested in his discovery, he forgot about penicillin and started to work on other things. In 1939, Ernest Chain, a scientist, and his boss, Howard Florey, were looking for medicines that could kill bacteria. They discovered Fleming’s notes and decided to test penicillin. In 1940, they gave penicillin to some sick mice, who survived later. But those who didn’t get it died. Florey declared: “It looks like a miracle!” By 1943, the final tests on humans were finished successfully and the world had its first antibiotic (抗生素) medicine. 4. Why did bacteria stop growing on one of the dishes? A. The mould juice killed them. B. Some old bread was on the dish. C. There was something special in the lab. D. The dish was on the bench for two weeks. 5. Fleming had to give up his study on penicillin because ________.

The discovery of penicillin. B. The great work of Chain and Florey. C. The tests on sick mice and humans. D. The value of Fleming’s notes about penicillin. 7. Which might be the best title of the text? A. The life of Fleming B. The story of Ernest Chain C. The science of fighting infections D. The birth of the world’s first antibiotic medicine C At the beginning of the school year, each student would be given a special job for which they would be responsible (负责任的) for the whole term. Rita, a quiet and hardworking girl, hoped for an exciting task, like taking care of the class plants. Instead, she received a small box with sand and a small ant. Even though the teacher explained that this task was very special, Rita could not help feeling disappointed. However, she decided to do her best with her new job. She began to study and care for the ant, learning about its habitat (栖息地) and needs. She made the box a comfortable home for the ant, and it grew much bigger than anyone expected. Rita’s efforts caught the attention of her science teacher, Mr. Thompson. He turned her work into a class project, and Rita became the class expert (专家) on ants. Her hard work helped the whole class learn about ant behavior and habitats. They even built a small ant farm in the classroom to observe the ant closely. Gradually, Rita’s classmates became more and more interested in the ant project. They started asking her questions and observing the ant’s behavior themselves. Rita organized a presentation where she shared her findings with the whole school during the science fair. At the end of the year, Rita’s class was recognized as the best of the year. Rita was as well praised for her hard work and how she turned a small task into something big. Rita learned that every task, no matter how small, could make a big difference.

Look at Chen Yiyan’s works! The 14-year-old is good at paper-folding at Hangzhou Foreign Language School, Zhejiang. He has folded a “kingdom (王国)” with his hands. But he wasn’t born with this ability. Chen started paper folding when he was a fourth-grader after seeing a book from his brother.

So far, his “paper-folding world” has many members, such as animals, plants and even robots. And he made his favorite work last year. It’s a paper dragon that includes almost 2,000 steps. Chen used to fold paper himself until he met Chen Changnan, another eighth-grader at his school, who also loves paper-folding. They set up a paper-folding club. Over 20 students soon joined the club. With support from school, they organize a paper-folding activity every Wednesday afternoon. They exhibit their works and teach students how to fold. In February, the club was even invited to give a speech to kids in Wenzhou Children’s Library. “It’s really exciting to develop my hobby and share it with others at the same time,” said Chen. “I hope more and more people get to know paper-folding and love this art.” 11.

Why not begin immediately?” asked his brother. “Ten minutes! That’s nothing. Besides, I must have a run with my dog Rover now,” replied Robert. After lunch, the two boys walked to school again. Frank took out his book and began to learn part of it as he walked along. While Robert looked for birds in the trees all the way to school. “Come with us to play football!” shouted a group of school friends as they finished school for the day. Robert ran away with the boys. Frank promised to follow in 15 minutes, and took out his book once more. This done, he played with the boys, and enjoyed the game. The two brothers were tired that evening, and went to bed early. But when they returned to school the next day, Frank knew his lesson perfectly. However, Robert told the teacher that he did not have time to learn it. “How did you find time, Frank?” asked his teacher. “I had 10 minutes before lunch yesterday; 15 minutes as I walked back to school; and another 15 minutes before playing football. Then I looked over my lesson for 10 minutes before going to bed; and took 10 minutes before breakfast this morning to make it perfect.” “That makes an hour’s preparation,” replied his teacher. “Frank, you may run and play at break time. Robert, you will spend break time learning that lesson. And you will continue to do that until you have learnt this important lesson: those who take care of the minutes will have the hours to take care of themselves.” 14.

El Nino is the name of the bad weather that happens in the Pacific Ocean. In summer, the rain falls in South Asia. But in some years, the Pacific Ocean moves this rainfall east. This warms the ocean as it travels, before finally reaching the coasts of North and South America. Cold water is pushed out of the way by the warm water. As fish don’t like warm water, they swim to other places. Birds that depend on them also move away. The warmer temperatures cause too much water in southern US and South America. And because the warm rain clouds move east, long periods of dry weather happen in South Asia, Australia and even Africa. El Nino usually lasts nine to twelve months. But its influences are felt around December. It doesn’t happen every year though, usually between two to seven years. The strongest El Nino happened in 1982—1983. In the West Pacific, it caused very serious dry weather, sandstorms and forest fires in Australia, Africa and South Asia. In the East Pacific, Peru (秘鲁) was hit with about 3m of rainfall in areas where about 15cm was normal. It is the heaviest rainfall ever recorded. That year’s El Nino caused 1,300—2,000 people to die. 17. El Nino causes bad weather conditions. 18. El Nino causes forest fires in southern US and South America. 19. El Nino usually continues for less than half a year. 20. Thousands of people died of the strongest El Nino.

B Last December, when An Lingfei, a doctor from an Inner Mongolia medical team, arrived in Kigali, the capital city of Rwanda (卢旺达), he set up a center in the Masaka District Hospital. Since then, the China-Rwanda Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) Treatment Center has increased in popularity. According to An the center now receives an average of more than 30 people daily, with most of them suffering from lower back pain or knee and ankle joint (踝关节) pain. Rwanda is known as the land of a thousand hills. Locals often have to walk on mountain roads year-round, which can lead to joint stress. “TCM has great advantages in treating these diseases, and the effects are very good.” An said. “The center now provides most kinds of TCM treatments, allowing local people to experience Eastern medicine.” Naomin, a 60-year-old patient, is amazed by TCM. She was unable to walk due to serious pain in both knees and ankles. But after a month of treatment at the center, she is now able to walk around with a walking stick. “The treatment has been a huge help,” she said. Another patient, Mukagatare, said that his back pain disappeared after three TCM treatments. According to him, doctors at the local hospitals had been unable to make a clear diagnosis (诊断) after many examinations, let alone reduce the pain. Besides treating patients, the center also educates locals about TCM and Chinese culture. Up to now, TCM has spread to nearly 200 countries and areas, with its worldwide influence continuously growing. “From treating a common cold to chronic (慢性的) and difficult diseases. TCM can all play an important role,” a Chinese expert said. 4. Where did An Lingfei set up the TCM Treatment Center? A. In China. B. In Kigali. C. In his home. D. In Inner Mongolia. 5.

C A Long March 5 rocket took off from the Wenchang Space Launch Site in Hainan province on May 3, 2024. After flying for about 37 minutes, it successfully placed the Chang’e 6 robotic lunar probe (月球探测器) into an Earth-moon transfer trajectory (转移轨道). Several days later the probe was programmed to land on the moon’s far side and started its tasks, which would last about 53 days. This is the world’s first try to bring samples (样本) from the moon’s far side. For China, it’s the second sample-return moon journey. Chang’e 5 successfully brought samples from the moon in the winter of 2020. Up to now, 10 moon sample-return tasks have been carried out by the United States, the former Soviet Union (前苏联) and China, but all these samples were collected from the moon’s near side. The moon’s far side has always been a subject of scientific wonder because of its many mysteries. It’s facing away from Earth and it can never be seen from Earth. It was once called the “dark side of the moon” even though it receives just as much sunlight as the near side. Chinese researchers have found that the soil on the far side is much thicker than that on the near side, but they haven’t found out the reason. Samples brought back by Chang’e 5 have helped scientists find that there were volcanic (火山的) activities on the near side around 2 billion years ago. Some scientists thought maybe volcanoes became inactive on the far side about 4 billion years ago. Is it true? Samples from the far side will allow them to know the answer. “Comparing the make-up of the far side samples from Chang’e 6 with those collected from the near side will be of great scientific value to the international community,” said Martin Sweeting, a famous professor of space engineering. 8. When did Chang’e 6 begin to work on the moon? A. On May 3, 2024. B. After flying for about 37 minutes. C. In the winter of 2020. D. After landing on the moon’s far side. 9. How many times has China got samples from the moon’s near side? A. Once. B. Twice. C. Five times. D. Ten times. 10. According to the passage, the moon’s far side ________. A. receives less sunlight than the near side B. has thicker soil compared with the near side C. can be seen from Earth with powerful cameras D. has more recent volcanic activities than the near side 11. What can we learn from Martin Sweeting’s words? A. Chang’e 6 will stay longer on the moon for more tasks. B. Chang’e 6 is carrying out a valuable task for the world. C. Chang’e 6 will bring samples from both sides of the moon. D. Chang’e 6 can compare samples before bringing them back. D Wangari Maathai, a Nobel Peace Prize winner, was born on April 1, 1940, in Kenya (肯尼亚). Growing up in the countryside, Wangari was deeply connected to the land from an early age. This early experience with the environment later inspired her life’s work, which has left an unforgettable mark on the world. With the help of a program, Wangari received her university education in the United States. After graduation, she returned to Kenya. In 1971, she got a doctor’s degree from the University of Nairobi, becoming the first woman doctor in East and Central Africa. But her greater achievement was outside the university. In 1977, Wangari set up the Green Belt Movement, an organization focused on tree planting, environmental protection, and women’s rights. She called on Kenyan women to plant trees in their hometown. This simple act not only helped to protect the environment but also made women powerful economically (经济地) and socially. Wangari focused not only on environmental problems. She made great efforts to fight for democracy (民主), human rights, and social fairness. Her activism (激进主义) often put her in disagreement with the Kenyan government. As a result, she was put in prison (监狱) several times, but she kept fighting bravely. It was because of her tireless work that she was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 2004. She became the first African woman to receive the award. Wangari passed away on September 25, 2011, but her spirit continues to inspire a worldwide movement towards environmental protection and social fairness. Her book, Unbowed, records her life journey and the challenges she faced, offering an inspiration to countless people worldwide. Her story lives on through the millions of trees planted by the Green Belt Movement and the countless lives she touched through her hard work. It serves as a reminder that even the smallest actions, like planting a tree, can have a great influence on the world. 12. For what purpose does the writer mention Wangari’s early life in Paragraph 1? A. To describe how she grew up in the countryside. B. To tell us why she studied hard for a doctor’s degree. C. To explain why she cared for environmental problems. D. To show how she became a Nobel Peace Prize winner. 13. What does the underlined part “This simple act” mean in Paragraph 2? A. Setting up an organization. B. Planting trees in Kenya. C. Focusing on women’s rights. D. Fighting for democracy. 14. Why was Wangari put in prison several times? A Because there was something harmful in her book Unbowed. B. Because she founded the Green Belt Movement organization. C. Because the Kenyan government was angry with her activism. D. Because she received her university education in the United States. 15. What can we learn from Wangari’s story? A Small actions can make great differences. B. Brave people should win the Nobel Prize.

After graduation, she became a teacher at Hengyang Normal School of Special Education and taught Chinese language to first graders. She practiced sign language in front of the mirror for about two hours every day till she mastered it. In 2005 at the age of 32, Liu gave birth to her own child. Unluckily, the boy was found to be hearing-impaired when he was seven months old. Instead of taking him to hospital, she provided therapy (治疗) for the child herself after work. Because of Liu’s tireless efforts, her son could make some sound after several months of training. In order to help her students speak, she puts her lips against their hands to let them feel the movement of the lips and the flow of the air. After class, she also has one-on-one training with each student for 20 minutes every day. As a result, she usually has a sore throat at the end of the day and her voice becomes hoarse. Liu believes anyone can succeed if he never gives up. Thanks to her help, many students showed great improvement. More than 20 of the over 80 students she has taught have received higher education. Deng Liang, one of her first students, graduated from Tianjin University of Technology in 2007. For her contributions (贡献) to society, especially her work with the hearing-impaired, Liu Lingli was elected as a deputy to the National People’s Congress (全国人大代表) last year, and received the Person Touching China award for 2023 in April, 2024. 24.

Orangutans are great apes (猿). Wild orangutans live on two islands—Sumatra and Borneo in Southeast Asia. Orangutans have long and powerful arms, fingers and toes. These help them climb and swing between trees in the rainforest. Orangutans mostly eat fruit. They also eat leaves, flowers, and sometimes insects. Over 300 different types of food have been found in their diet. Orangutans play a very important role in spreading fruit and plant seeds in the forest. This helps to keep their rainforest home healthy. Orangutans are smart and intelligent. They create and use tools to get seeds from fruit. They also use tools to catch insects from the insides of trees. Orangutans memorize the rainforest where they live. This helps them know which trees have ripe (成熟的) fruit. They build a sleeping nest each night made of branches (树枝) and leaves. However, orangutans are in great danger. Scientists say that there are less than 62, 000 orangutans remaining in the wild. Young orangutans are sometimes caught and sold as pets. Orangutans are also hunted for food. The biggest problem is that orangutans are losing their homes. Millions of rainforests are cut down each year for palm oil (棕榈油). Palm oil can be used to make candy bars, cookies, shampoos, soaps, and pet food. Most of the palm oil produced in the world is from Sumatra and Borneo. Wildlife organizations are working hard to help protect the remaining rainforests. If the rainforests disappear, orangutans will disappear forever. 28. What are orangutans? A. Rainforests. B. Great apes. C. Islands. 29. What is Paragraph 3 mainly about? A.

Since then, she has been the center of attention. This year, however, there was a change—the competition required dancing in pairs. Jenny’s classmates held high hopes for her to win again this year. However, Jenny was uncertain about the result. She wanted to compete, but she had never danced with a partner before. As she was turned down by the boys in her class due to their lack (缺乏) of dance skills, Jenny began to feel hesitant (犹豫) about entering the competition. She finally turned to her close friend Carl, whom she had known since first grade. Lacking confidence in his dancing abilities, Carl was hesitant at first. But Jenny insisted. He finally agreed to join her. Jenny was happy. However, she was still worried because she knew her class was counting on her to win. But the challenge was greater this time, as Carl was not a skilled dancer. With the competition two months away, only time would tell if they could succeed.

Audiobooks have become quite popular these days. Why are more and more people choosing audiobooks over traditional books? Is listening to an audiobook just as good as reading a paper book? You need to find time available and a quiet place to sit down and read. However, you can listen to audiobooks anytime and anywhere you like, and it gives your eyes a break, too. But the big question is, do we get as much knowledge from audiobooks as we do from paper books? Researchers did an experiment to find the answer. Volunteers in Group One were asked to listen to an audiobook while volunteers in Group Two read a book of the same content (内容). It turned out that they recalled as much information, whether they listened to or read it. Another study from The Journal of Neuroscience further supported the result above. In the study, researchers scanned (扫描) people’s brains when they listened to and read books. The result showed that listening to audiobooks activated (激活) almost the same parts of the brain as reading did. However, some people still believe that they learn better from reading paper books. One reason might be that when we listen to audiobooks, we are often doing some other tasks at the same time. “If you’re trying to learn while doing two things, you’ re not going to learn as well,” Daniel Willingham, a researcher at the University of Virginia, told The New York Times. 23. Why are more and more people choosing audiobooks over paper books? A. They are easier to take. B. They offer choices in content. C. They improve people’s eyesight. D. They free people in time and place. 24. What did researchers find in the study? A. People recalled more information from reading paper books. B. Listening activated different parts of the brain from reading. C. People can read and listen to the same content at the same time. D. Listening makes no difference in recalling information from reading. 25. What can we infer from the text? A. People need to stay focused while reading. B. People often do other tasks while listening. C. People actually learn better from audiobooks. D. People have to activate the brain to learn better. 26. How is the text organized? (①=Paragraph 1,②=Paragraph 2,…) A. B. C. D. D Sounds from human activities spread across the ocean, causing much trouble to ocean animals. However, according to a new study, climate change might influence how sound travels through the water. Human-caused climate change influences the ocean in many ways such as changing its temperature, salt level, and acidity (酸度). For example, when the water becomes more acidic, it can’t take in certain sounds. So those sounds travel further, adding to the noise in some areas. However, this effect (影响) is not as big as other changes. Changes like temperature and salt level can affect how the ocean’s different layers (层) mix. That, in turn, affects how sound travels. Researchers used computers to model how those changes influence noise levels across the ocean. They compared the models of the world now to those of the world in about 70 years if climate change continues. In the North Atlantic, they saw an increase in sound levels in the upper 125 meters of the Ocean. This was caused mostly by ice melting (融化) from Greenland, forming a cold layer of water near the Ocean’s surface. When sound travels through water, it turns toward the coldest layer. This made sound waves get stuck in the cold top layer and spread further out across the water instead of traveling deeper. As a result, the sound became louder at this depth in the North Atlantic. The rising noise levels in the Atlantic Ocean are worrying as they could disturb animals’ communication, hunting and travelling. Sharks already avoid loud ships, but with noise levels increasing everywhere, what will happen? 27. What has a bigger effect on ocean noise? A. Sea level. B. Wind speed. C. Water temperature. D. Ocean acidity. 28. How did researchers carry out the study? A. By modeling changes in ocean noise levels. B. By finding areas with increasing ocean noise. C. By doing field research in the North Atlantic. D. By comparing today’s ice size to that of the future. 29. What do we know about the sound traveling through water? A. It can be easily blocked by ice. B. It can get stuck by the seaside. C. It goes towards the colder areas. D. It travels faster in the deep ocean. 30. What is the main idea of the text? A. Ice melting brings changes to water level. B. Some ocean animals keep away from ships. C. The more the ocean is acidic, the more sounds it takes in. D. Climate change may influence the way sounds travel in the ocean. · 滨州市2024年中考英语真题 阅读理解（共20小题，计30分） 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出能正确回答所提问题或完成所给句子的最佳答案。 A As a country powerful in math, China has many folk games full of math wisdom (智慧).

D Zigong, in Sichuan Province is home to Chinese lanterns. Zigong lantern is known as the best lantern in the world. The Zigong Lantern Festival dates back to the Tang Dynasty. The festival has rapidly developed with traditional culture and modern technologies. In 2008, the Zigong Lantern Festival was listed as a national intangible cultural heritage(国家级非物质文化遗产), becoming a shining name card for Chinese culture to go out into the world. “Making a huge lantern for exhibition requires 17 steps,” said Wan Songtao, an inheritor (传承人) of Zigong lantern-making. “Each step is finished by a team instead of a single maker.” Wan added. The sundial (日晷), a kind of lantern, made by Wan’s team, for example, took about 80 makers over 50 days to complete the whole process. Unlike the lanterns in other places, Zigong lanterns use modern technologies such as AI, mechanical engineering (机械工程), and holography (全息摄影术). They are perfect combinations (结合) of lights, sounds and movements. What’s more, the theme of the lantern can be chosen in different ways. “Anything that can be designed on a lantern can make a wonderful show, and everyone is encouraged to turn their ideas into real works,” said Zhang Fanglai, a leading researcher at the Colorful Lantern Museum of China. And the rich themes of Zigong lanterns show the spirit of creativity and warmth from the bottom of the local people’s heart. The government encourages local people to learn lantern-making widely.

C I ran into the forest to my favorite place and sat down on my special rock I knew no one could find me. Al last I had peace and quiet.

I thought you might like some company (陪伴).” “Company is the last thing I want. Can’t I have a little peace and quiet?” James studied me for a minute. It’s hard having such a big family, isn’t it?” “Eliza’s always prying into my personal life. Yesterday I found her looking through my diary. Now everyone is in the living room watching the game.

D We’ve all seen pictures of camels carrying heavy loads (负载物) across the sandy desert. They walk without stopping for food or water for several days. Have you ever wondered how they do it? For your answer, take a look at the bag round hump which is on a camel’s back. Camels are the only animals with humps. And it’s the hump that gives camels the amazing ability to go for long periods of time without food or water. The hump is like a spare cupboard (备用食物柜) where the camel stores (储存) food and water for days when there is nothing to eat or drink. When life is good, and there is plenty to eat and drink, a camel’s hump can grow to as big as 40 kilograms. The food is changed into fat (脂防) and stored in the camel’s bump. When there is nothing to eat or drink, camels begin to use the stored fat in their humps. That’s why they can continue to live for weeks without food and up to 10 days without water. Camels are like sponges. They can take in more than 130 litres of water in one short drink. In only a few minutes, all of this water goes directly to the camel’s blood cells (组胞). Camels save water too. They never know when they’ll find the next watering hole. As they breathe out, their noses close quickly. The water in the breath stays in their bodies. After a long trek across the desert carrying 100 kilograms or more, a camel can lose up to 150 kilograms of weight. The camel’s hump will become very small. As soon as this camel gets to an oasis (绿洲), it will take in hundreds of litres of water. In a day, it will get back most of its weight.

He was so impolite to his neighbors that no one even knew his first name was Adam. He never said hello to anyone, and he left his rubbish out in the hallway. He always complained (抱怨) about all his neighbors and the noise they made. He even got upset when the couple who lived next door to him, Catherine and David, had a baby. Instead of saying congratulations, he loudly complained about how the baby would surely cry all night. One day when he was leaving his apartment, Mr. Black saw that his rubbish was gone. In its place, he found a note from David. “Good morning, Mr. Black. I saw your rubbish here, and since I was on my way out, I picked it up for you. I wanted to save you a trip. Have a nice day, David.” However, Mr. Black decided to ignore this act of kindness. He began thinking about the terrible traffic he would surely have to deal with on his way to work. But as time went on, Mr. Black started to feel a little silly. No matter how impolite he was, the couple always smiled at him and politely said hello. It became harder and harder for him not to simply say hello back. After a few weeks, Mr. Black was always happy to see the couple in the hall. They even started calling him Adam. Later on, they invited Mr. Black into their apartment for a cup of coffee. Mr. Black was very glad that they treated him nicely. He was so upset about it that he had been impolite to everyone he knew. He realized that he should try to do the same with the people he met. 5. Which word can best describe Mr. Black according to Paragraph 1? A. Serious. B. Unfriendly. C. Strict. 6. Who took out the rubbish for Mr. Black? A. Adam. B. Catherine. C. David. 7. What does the underlined word “ignore” in Paragraph 2 mean? A. Pay no attention to. B. Say thanks to. C. Stick to. 8. What did Mr. Black realize finally? A. He should say sorry to his neighbors in the building. B. He should treat others as he would like to be treated. C. He should thank all the people who ever helped him. C It can be really embarrassed if someone sees you talking to yourself. But don’t feel bad about it! Talking to yourself actually has a lot of advantages. You probably know that thinking is good for the brain. It helps us do things like making plans and managing our feelings. Talking to yourself loud is like showing this quiet inner (内在的) speech. It can help us do better in different areas like school, sports and work. Talking to yourself, especially in the third person, can help us manage bad feelings. “Talking to yourself in the third person is like giving yourself advice,” said Jason Moser, a professor (教授) from Michigan State University, US. Moser uses himself in an example. He does not like flying, but he has to fly often for his work. So when he is feeling nervous or afraid during a flight (航班), he talks to himself. “Well, you know, Jason knows air travel is very safe. And Jason has been on thousands of flights.” This can help us to see things from a different aspect (角度), especially when we’re feeling sad or angry. When encouragement comes from oneself, it adds to self-confidence. A study invited 72 tennis players to take part in some matches. Researchers (调查者) put the players into two groups: one group that said nothing while playing, and the other that talked to themselves while playing. They found that the self-talkers showed more confidence and played better than those in the silent group. Self-talk also helps to improve memory. Researchers tested four different ways to memorize things: reading silently, reading aloud, listening to someone else read and listening to a recording of oneself reading. Those who read out loud recalled the information the best, researchers said in their study. It’s because the information will probably become a long-term memory if it is said out loud. 9. What does the underlined word “It” refer to (指代) in Paragraph 2? A. Talking to yourself. B. The brain. C. Thinking. 10. How does the writer show his opinion in Paragraph 3? A. By listing numbers. B. By giving an example. C. By comparing himself with others. 11. What’s the main idea of Paragraph 4? A. Talking to yourself helps to find out the best players. B. Talking to yourself helps to improve players’ talking skills. C. Talking to yourself helps to make you more confident. 12. Which of the following best shows the structure (结构) of the passage? (P =Paragraph) A. B. C. D On April 18 each year, people all over the world celebrate the International Day for Monuments and Sites (国际古迹遗址日). In China, young people are realizing the importance of their history and culture. Many are doing their best to protect Chinese cultural sites and try to promote (推广) them. Finding new artifacts (文物) Xu Danyang, a 29-year-old archaeologist (考古学家), found an amazing bronze statue (青铜像) at the Sanxingdui site in Sichuan. In 2021, he dug out this statue. In the beginning, his team thought it was a bird. But as they continued the digging, they had a surprise. It turned out (结果是) to be a statue of a man, about 16cm high. It shows a man kneeling with his head turned, and it surprises everyone who sees it. Making maps for protection Wu Yunjie who was born in the 1990s found a new way — by making a special map to show the best cultural sites in China. Wu is now famous on the Internet. He marked almost 10,000 places like old temples, towers, bridges and houses. Each site with colorful marks showed how special and important they are. As a kid, Wu loved going to a temple in his hometown in Ezhou, Hubei. However, it was pulled down years ago. He was sad and decided to record all the cultural sites in China. He started to travel across the country. He visits places in person and adds them to his map, making sure we all remember them. Now, Wu asks for help from people online to make his map better and better. And he hopes to share this amazing map with everyone who respects (尊重)history and culture soon. Making explanations (解释) fun Zhang Bin is a 31-year-old tour guide at Emperor Qinshihuang’s Mausoleum Site Museum in Xi’an, Shaanxi. He works to answer visitors’ questions about the famous Terracotta Warriors and shares all of his knowledge about them.

He was born in the state of Lu in ancient China more than 2,500 years ago. That is where Qufu lies in the east of Jining. Lu Ban was the greatest carpenter (木匠) in his time. Once the king ordered him and his team to build a palace in a very short time. They would be punished if they missed the deadline(最后期限). They had only axes or fuzi in Chinese, to cut the trees and prepare the wood for the palace, so work was very slow. One day Lu Ban rushed up the hill to see how things were going. Suddenly the sharp teeth of a leaf cut his hand. Then a bright idea came into his head. Soon he made a tool with teeth along the side of a long iron bar (条状物). With this tool, work became much faster, and they completed the work before the deadline. That is how the saw was invented. Lu Ban invented many other useful tools for carpenters and interesting toys f children. The Wooden Bird, for example, could stay in the air for three days.

D Sometimes when the rain falls hard and fast on you, it might hurt a little. But what happens when it hits a mosquito (蚊子)? In 2012, David Hu, a scientist at Georgia Tech, became interested in this problem and decided to do a research. He used a high-speed camera so that he could watch the mosquitoes in very slow motion and find out what they’re doing when they’re out in the rain. What he found is that when a raindrop falls on a mosquito, it’s like when a bus hits a person. Besides, the little insect (昆虫) is hit by a raindrop about once every 20 seconds. So why don’t we see many dead mosquitoes after it rains? A mosquito is as big as a raindrop, but it is much lighter —0.002g only. This saves its life in raindrop hits. Because the mosquito is so light, when it is hit by a raindrop, it won’t experience a force that is strong enough to kill it. The study also found that when a mosquito is hit by a raindrop, the insect is pushed by the raindrop and falls together with it. But the mosquito doesn’t get wet easily because it is covered with hairs which keep off water. After dropping about 6 cm, it will roll off the raindrop and fly away. However, this trick isn’t always successful. If the mosquito flies too low when it is hit by the raindrop, it won’t have time to fly off. Then it will hit the ground and meet its death. 12. What does the underlined word “motion” mean? A. Time. B. Movie. C. Step. D. Movement. 13 What protect mosquitoes in the rain? A. Their mouths and their noses. B. Their eyes and their ears. C. Their legs and their wings. D. Their body weight and their hairs. 14. When is it dangerous for a mosquito in the rain? A. When it flies too close to the ground. B. When the rain falls too hard and too fast. C. When it is hit by raindrops too many times. D. When it drops for more than 6 cm in the rain. 15. Which of the following is a proper title for the passage? A. How Raindrops Hurt Mosquitoes B. When Mosquitoes Are in Danger C. Why Mosquitoes Aren’t Hurt in Rain D. When Mosquitoes Meet Their Death 【参考答案】 · 潍坊市2024年中考英语真题答案 A 【答案】1. C 2. A 3.
