Passage 1
"The Green Wall Initiative"is a project that encourages students to protect the environment by
creating their own gardens on the walls.The project was started in 2007 by the African Union.Urban
Middle School in Beijing is the first one to take part in the project in China.
The project in Urban Middle School teaches students about sustainable(可持s续的)practices,.
plant care and teamwork.In the project,students make plans.A piece of wall is given to each class.
Then students choose right plants to grow on the wall.They take turns to take care of the plants.
They also record the growth of the plants.
The project is a success.Those living walls not only beautify the school environment,but also
help make the air fresher and lower the temperature of the city.Students put into practice what they
have learned in environmental science.They also learn to work with others and take care of their own
community.Now,more and more schools follow the example,hoping to spread the idea of
environmental protection.
()1.When was the project started by the African Union?
A.In2007.
B.In2010.
C.In2015.
D.In2023.

A.Boring.
B.Easy.
C.Terrible.
D.Successful.
()4.What do more and more schools hope to do now?
A.To beautify the school environment.
B.To take turns to take care of the plants.
C.To spread the idea of environmental protection.
D.To make the temperature of the city higher.
Passage 2
Did you ever imagine flying over the city in an air taxi that has no pilot?Do you believe it can
take you from place to place in minutes?It sounds like science fiction,right?Well,not anymore.
An electric vertical take-off and landing(eVTOL,电s动垂直起降)aircraft(飞行器),also
known as an air taxi,completed its first inter-city flight in Guangdong on Feb.27th,2024.The
15
中考模拟卷英语
eVTOL aircraft started its journey from Shenzhen to Zhuhai,completing the 55-kilometer trip in about
20 minutes.This flight is an important development of this exciting new form of transport.
Air taxis use high technology to take off and land vertically()like a helicopter,which
doesn't need long runways.Instead of using traditional combustion engines,air taxis use electric
motors.These air taxis have propellers placed all over them to help them stay balanced.They also
use lithiumion batteries to store electricity,letting them fly far and fast.With a central command
center that keeps an eye on the flight,some of them can fly without a pilot.
There is no doubt that air taxis can help improve heavy traffic,with their direct point-to-point
travel saving valuable time for urban people.Except this benefit,as an eco-friendly choice,air taxis
produce fewer emissions than traditional cars,improving urban air quality.
However,air taxis also need special places to take off and land,which means they need eVTOL
airports called“vertiports”.Now researchers are trying to make full use of the existing(现有的)
small airports to serve as "vertiports".And with plans to fly at low altitudes()in cities,there's
still much work to be done to keep everyone safe.
()1.Where did the eVTOL aircraft start its journey?
A.In Shenzhen.
B.In Zhuhai.
C.In Guangzhou.
D.In Shanghai.
(
)2.What helps air taxis stay balanced?
A.A helicopter.
B.Propellers.
C.Lithiumion batteries.
D.Combustion engines.
(
)3.What does the writer think of air taxis in improving heavy traffic?
A.Helpful.
B.Doubtful.
C.Hopeful.
D.Exciting.
()4.According to the last paragraph,what may next researches focus on?
A.How to fly higher and more safely
B.How to improve urban air quality.
C.How to fly at low altitudes more safely.
D.How to build more new airports for air taxis.
Passage 3
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.

专顶提升连
Human-caused climate change influences the ocean in many ways,such as changing its
temperature,salt level,and acidity().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()is not as big as other changes.Changes like temperature and salt level
can affect how the ocean's different layers()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()from Greenland,forming a cold layer of water
near the Ocean's surface.When sound travels through water,it turns towards 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 traveling.Sharks already avoid loud ships,but with noise levels
increasing everywhere,what will happen?
)1.What has a bigger effect on ocean noise?
A.Sea level.
B.Wind speed.
C.Water temperature.
D.Ocean acidity.
()2.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.
()3.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.
()4.What does the writer think of the rising noise levels in the Atlantic Ocean?
A.Worrying.
B.Interesting.
C.Surprising.
D.Boring.
