Meanwhile, as a Party member himself, Zhang set an example by checking on pneumonia patients every day. “I do it in person because I need to encourage other colleagues (同事),” he told the media.Zhang believes in the traditional Chinese idea that “the best doctors prevent the disease (上医治未病)”. That’s why he tries his best to spread scientific knowledge on how to prevent the epidemic. His sense of humor (幽默) has made it easier for the knowledge to reach the public. He and his team also update their WeChat account every day with timely analyses (分析) of the epidemic to drive away public worries. One of his articles got more than 10 million hits.But Zhang might not care about his sudden fame (名声).

The 9, 500-square-metre Augustenborg Botanical Garden may look just like any other well-organized park but there’s a difference. It lies on the roofs(屋顶) of industrialand office buildings in the city of Malmo in Sweden.Green roofs are not a new invention. And now they are getting popular again. The common roofs of a modem city have endless black surfaces with no life or water. Perhaps that’s why a gardenon a roof becomes such a perfect choice for more and more people.Green roofs are not just pretty. They also help to moderate the city temperature. The hightemperatures on common roofs inthe summer can make top floor flats uncomfortably hot. What ismore, they play a part in makingthe cities hotter than the countryside around them, causing the“urban heat-island effect”. On a green roof, however, with its plants and water, temperatureschangeonly a little, as they do in a park. This can greatly cut the costs of heating and cooling in the buildingbelow.Also, a green roof takes in rain water, and protects the city drainage(small animals and birds can make their homes on it. Thanks to this, the city may become part of nature, rather than something completely separate from it.While the cost of building such a roof can still be higher, it can be cheaper in the long term as aresult of energy savings. And wouldn't it be wonderful to be able to walk out into a garden highabove the city’s noise and traffic, whether you're at school or in an office or just at home in aten-floor block.10. With the example of Augustenborg Botanical Garden, the writer wants to explain ____.A. how wildlife is protectedB. what a green roof is likeC. how to organize a good parkD. what to do with a spare roof11. The underlined word “moderate” in Paragraph 3 is the closest in meaning to “____”.A. raiseB. checkC. recordD. control12. Which of the following is the best sentence to fill in the blank in Paragraph 4?A. A green roof is alive.B. A green roof stops pollution.C. A common roof is noisy.D. A common roof increases the cost.13. The purpose of the passage is to ____.A. discover the problems with green roofsB. introduce the change of green roofsC. show the amazing beauty of green roofsD. describe the advantages of green roots。
2021年中考英语阅读理解习题选〔10〕及答案【实战训练】 A〔2021中考日常生活类训练〕Could your best friend make you fat?Researchers who have studied“networks〞of obesity(肥胖) think so:they found that if someone's friend becomes obese, that person's chances of becoming obese increase by more than half.Brothers or sisters and a husband or a wife also have an influence, although reduced_people whose brothers or sisters became obese were 40 percent more likely to grow obese, while people whose husband or wife became obese were 37 percent more likely to.“This is the first study to show how obesity spreads through the social network from person to person,〞James Fowler of the University of California, San Diego, who worked on the study, told in a telephone interviewing.The researchers said their findings show that obesity is contagious—not likea virus which is contagious, but in a social sense.It may help explain why obesity is worsening across the United States, with two-thirds of Americans overweight and almost a third technically obese.“It h as become very popular to speak of the obesity epidemic.We began to wonder if it is truly an epidemic,olas Christakis, a professor of medical sociology at Harvard Medical School in Boston, told the briefing.“We think that these findings reinforce(加强) the idea that obesity is not just an individual problem but a collective problem,〞Christakis said.“People look around them and see people gaining weight and it might change their attitude about what constitutes an acceptable body size,〞he added.“You might say it's OK to be heavier.〞1.The underlined phrase“reduced people〞refers to______.A.the influence of people is smaller and smallerB.fat persons are having less and less friendsC.the number of fat persons is decreasing largelyD.persons are becoming thinner and thinner2.What's the new finding of researchers in the passage?A.Obesity is popular with Americans.B.Obesity spreads from person to person.C.Obesity can be spread like a virus.D.Obesity is becoming an epidemic.3.In what aspect do your fat friends have an impact on you?A.They may influence you how to choose a lover.B.They may assist you in forming a life value.C.They may change your attitudes towards obesity.D.They may help you understand what obesity is.4.From the passage,we can infer that________.A.it's better not to make friends with fat personsB.obesity is a kind of disease that can spreadC.most Americans think obesity is a kind of beautyD.it needs a collective effort to deal with obesity参考答案1A 2B 3C 4D【实战训练】 B中考英语阅读理解分类练习:教育类It is true that people with better education are usually able to get better paying jobs. In other words, they have more chances to choose a good job while people with little or no education don’t. It seems that the purpose of education is to make people ge t jobs. But this isn’t accepted by all people.Some people may think that a person should spend the best years of his life to get education only for a way of living. This was probably one of the earliest reasons of education. In fact, if education is j ust a way of making a living, people don’t need to spend so much time in school. People can get education for a living in a short time. Subjects like history and geography need not be taught to everyone. Even languageand mathematics need not be taught in detail(详细地), either. Here it is clear that education is much more than teaching a man to get a way of living.Education is well-rounded and it is mainly for improving a man. It is not only to teach him to speak, read and write, but also to develop his creative thinking and other abilities. After that, it is to make him a wise man and thankfully enjoy the achievements of human. Education is to make a man lead a better life. Educated people are expected to be able to listen to good music, read good books, watch plays and most of all take an interest in the whole world.I would agree that making a good living is an important reason for education, but certainly not the most important or the main reason.【小题1】People with little education usually ____.A.spend a long time in schoolB.have a good chance to get a jobC.spend the best years to choose jobsD.have fewer chances to get a good job【小题2】The earliest education was probably to ______.A.make a man lead a better lifeB.teach a man to write and thinkC.make people get a way of livingD.teach people to read good books【小题3】The underlined word “well-rounded〞 in the passage means “_______〞 in Chinese.A.圆满的B.崭新的C.公平的D.全面的【小题4】 It is expected that educated people will be able to _____.A.accept education as a way of livingB.take an interest in the whole worldC.develop their abilities to make playsD.learn subjects like language and math【小题5】The passage mainly tells us that _______.A.education should make a man improveB.people can get education in a short timeC.people should be able to get better paying jobsD.all subjects are so important for a way of living【实战训练】 CWhen might you need to give blood(血) for a personality test? The answer is that you need to do so when you ask for a job.Some people believe that your blood group hides(隐藏) no secrets. It shows the “real you〞. And the owners of certain blood groups might be particularly good or bad at certain tasks(任务). This is the very reasons of why you could be asked to offer your blood group before being given a job.The new idea was carried out first in Japan and now it has been brought over to other parts of the world. One important business company in Japan is quite special about this need:“For our office members, we must have 30 percen t of group A and 15 percent of AB, 25 percent of O and 30 percent of B〞.Do you happen to know your own blood group? It seems that if you belong to blood group O, you can get things done and sell the goods well. Blood group A are the thinkers, while blood group B are highly creative. And if you have problems, ask the ABs to solve them. So if you visited the Japanese company, you would find the O types out selling goods and A types keeping order in the office.1. According to the passage, __________.A. four types of the blood were discovered by JapanB. people of good blood might do their work very wellC. know your own blood group and you could get a good jobD. more and more countries have accepted the new idea about blood groups2. Creative persons, good salesmen, thinkers and problem solvers are the four kindsof persons needed by the Japanese company. The proportion mentioned in the passage is __________ respectively.A. 30%, 15%, 25% and 30%B. 30%, 30%, 25% and 15%C. 30%, 25%, 30% and 15%D. 25%, 15%, 30% and 30%3. People belonging to blood group B might be good at __________.A. sports and gamesB. smoothing away difficultiesC. doing office workD. painting and writing4. This passage seems to lead you to believe ____________.A. your blood group could affect your workB. blood types can never change your lifeC. the idea about blood groups has little scientific basisD. personality tests are exactly correct5. This passage is mainly about ___________.A. the origin of blood groupB. the effect of the blood group on personalityC. the secrets of blood groupsD. the new skill of hiring people参考答案1-5 DCDAB【实战训练】 D〔2021中考日常生活类训练〕Mount Qomolangma is the highest mountain in the world.

She wanted to teach him a good lesson.She wore a black dress and a scary mask(面具)on her face. Then she waited there. When Mr. Clark woke up, Mrs. Clark gave him some food and said, "Get up and have some food. It is my job to bring food to the dead."Mr. Clark saw this and was afraid. He ran home quickly.

We asked four teenagers: 13-year-old Marla, and 15-year-old Grace, Will and Ryan. All four knew what they wanted and where to find it. Music played a much bigger role than catwalk fashion.Ryan is wearing the red headphones, he said, "I'd like a pair in every color to match(搭配)all my clothes. "Will plays the guitar and sings in a rock band. He gets his fashion as well as his music from the pages of NME. The girls, too, put clothes and music together. Grace likes shorts and boots.

As entrance into college has become more difficult, colleges have looked more at what skills you have. Taking part in after-school activities is a great way.High School ClubsMost high schools offer a lot of clubs and activities, so it is easy to find something that you are interested in. Colleges look for students who will also be active other than test scores. There are many clubs in school, such as the drama(戏剧)club and a book club. You may even be able to find a club related to a future job, such as Future Teachers of America.High School SportsIf you want to go to college and want to take part in sports at a college level, then this fact just might give you a chance. It is a good idea to focus on one single sport. If you want to study in a college on sports and need the college scholarships(奖学金), it would be better if you decide which sport to do. In this way, you will have enough time to build your skills. High School Publications(出版物)Another smart way to be active in high school and show colleges that you are interested in activities more than academics(学术)is to be a part of your school newspaper or magazine. There may be an actual class you can join or you may join a club. Being in high school publications can be very helpful if you want to major in language(主修一门语言)or education in college.(1)Now in the US, colleges have focused more on the students' ________ during the selection process.A good gradesB family backgroundC skills(2)After-school activities include all of the following except ________.A joining a clubB doing a part-time jobC working on school's newspaper(3)Joining a club may help students ________.A learn a language betterB get higher scores in school subjectsC know more about their future jobs(4)Being ________ is important if you want to major in education in college.A an editor of school newspaperB a basketball player in school teamC a waiter in the school canteen(5)This passage is probably written for ________ to read.A teachersB studentsC parents4.Children across the world are taking pictures of their school meals.

She does not just describe the food. She judges(评价)the taste of the food. She also judges how healthy the food is.Sometimes she likes the food, and sometimes she does not. Now, other people send pictures to Martha. Students around the world share their pictures of their school food!Martha also started her blog for another important reason. She began to raise money for the organization Mary's Meals. Mary's Meals works in the East African country of Malawi. It provides food for children in schools. Martha encourages her readers to send money to Mary's Meals to help build a kitchen.Martha hoped to raise about 10,000 dollars.

How to make tea may be different. According to the ways of making tea, tea is classified(分类)into white tea, green tea, black tea, etc. And how to prepare tea may be different, too. In Tibet, tea is commonly boiled(煮)with salt and butter (黄油). People may drink tea at home or in public, for example, at tea houses.As part of culture, tea has a relationship with history, health, education, communication and so on. It is commonly used at social activities. For example, afternoon tea is a British custom.

It makes people less tired, clears heat in the human body and helps people lose weight. Chinese people are good at using tea to make other things delicious.

Many people seldom find time to just sit back and read a book – not to mention get to know the people behind the literary works.This may change, though. The documentary series Everyday Life of Literature debuted (首映) on Youku on April 16 and offers viewers a glimpse into the lives of writers.Each of the five episodes (集) focuses on a specific writer and includes commentary (评论) from other guests, including a literary critic and an artist. Director Wang Shengzhi is seen observing their conversations over two or three days.“Each author has a different personality,” Wang said. “But they have one thing in common – they all instinctively (本能地) distance themselves from the camera because they don’t want to ‘act’.”One episode is on Ma Yuan, 67, a novelist who rose to fame (成名) in the 1980s for his creative narrative (叙事的) skills. Ma left Shanghai in 2008 after being diagnosed with cancer and has lived in a small village of the Hani ethnic group in Yunnan province since.“Today’s people really show themselves on social media. They have gone far from the nature of life,” Ma says in the episode. “I’m not a hermit (隐士) ... I’m only living in a way that is like the essence (本质) of literature, unadorned (简朴的) but poetic.”A similar situation is noticed in the episode on Alai, 61, an author of Tibetan ethnicity who’s based in Chengdu, Sichuan province, and is best known for his novel, Dust Settled Down. He does not use WeChat and Wang had to persuade him to appear in the documentary.When Alai recalls his experience of the devastating (灾难性的) magnitude-8.0 earthquake in Sichuan in 2008, he gets emotional. For Alai, it was a bitter yet inspirational time to consider the matter of life and death on a deeper level.It took him a decade to begin writing his novel on the catastrophe (灾难), Diary in the Clouds (《云中记》), which is narrated from a Tibetan monk’s (僧侣的) perspective to reveal (揭示) not only pain but also awe (敬畏) of nature.“The authors talk about hometowns ... life and death, and many themes concerning all of us,” Meng Yan, producer of the documentary, said. “Audiences will be led to notice some subtle emotions in life, which can be easily neglected ... We canthink of our own pains and explore what is a really interesting life.”1.What is the purpose of the documentary series Everyday Life of Literature?A. To show people the value of literary works.B. To tell people about the lives of writers.C. To share books some famous people have read.D. To introduce less well-known writers to viewers.2. What do we learn from Ma Yuan’s example?A. It’s good to become known at a young age.B. He hopes people can live a simpler life.C. Living in small villages helps people stay healthy.D. He loves writing poems about small things in life.3. What happened to Alai after experiencing the earthquake in 2008?A. He wrote about it in Dust Settled Down.B. He was away from his hometown for 10 years.C. He gained a new way to look at life and death.D. He spent a decade recovering from his suffering.4.

The air hostess spoke to her, but the old lady said, “I have never been in a plane before , and I am frightened. I am going to keep this blanket over my head until we are back on the ground again !”Then the captain came. He said, “Madam, I am the captain of this plane. The weather is fine, there are no clouds in the sky, and everything is going very well. ”But she continued to hide.So the captain turned and started to go back. Then the old lady looked out from under the blanket with one eye and said, “I am sorry, young man, but I don’t like planes and I am never going to fly again.
