Early in 2017 Professor Craig E．Smith published a study.He and his workmates chose 48 children between four and nine years of age.They told the kids a story about a boy or girldoing something wrong，such as taking a classmate's toy or candy，and then either lying about the wrongdoing to a parent or confessing (承认) it.In each case，they asked the children，“How would the child feel？How would the mother feel？”The children's answers were generally divided according to age, which is in agreement withthe above research, showing a gradual growth of moral understanding in early childhood.More of the four-to-five-year olds thought the child in the story would feel better keeping the stolen candy，lying and getting unpunished.They imagined the parent in the study would beangry with the child who confessed.However，the seven-to-nine-year-olds were more likely (可能的) to think the child would feel better confessing the crime and that the parent would have positive (积极的) feelings towards a confessor.Smith says, “Kids of all ages who expect that a parent would feel happy about a child's confession are more likely to tell the truth rather than lie.Reward the honesty even if you feel，what parents can learn from these studies is to you must punish the wrong action.”He addslisten calmly without getting angry right away when their child confesses.denial”in Paragraph 1 mean?()1、What does the underlined word“A．委屈B．责备C．否认D．拒绝()2、Paragraph 2 mainly tells us______.A．kids can't tell“right”from“wrong”B．it takes time for kids to learn to tell the truthC．it's wrong to punish kids for telling the truthD．all the kids are willing to confess to a bad act()3、What did Smith and his workmates find in their study?A．Older kids are more likely than younger children to confess to a bad act.B．Younger children are more likely than older kids to confess to a bad act.C．The four-to-five-year-olds would feel better confessing the crime.D．The seven-to-nine-year-olds thought parents would be angry with their confessions.()4、According to Professor Smith，what can parents learn from these studies? A．Parents should at once punish the children who lied.B．Parents should tell children the wrongness of lying.C．Parents should never get angry after their children's confessions.D．Parents should show positive feelings about their children's confessions.()5、What does the passage mainly talk about?A．Children often like making mistakes when they are young.B．A research about 48 children between four and nine years of age.C．Reward the honesty even if you feel you must punish the wrong action.D．How the parents treat their children when their children make mistakes.Passage CThe world is not only hungry but also thirsty for water. This may seem strange to you, since nearly 70%of the earth's surface is covered with water. But about 97%of that is sea water or salt water. Man can only drink and use the other 3%of fresh water from rivers, lakes, underground and so on. And we can not even use all of that because some of it has been made dirty.Earth Day is April 22. But on all other days, we must also remember how important water is. The water that we use is the most important natural resource on the earth. Today we face serious water problems. One of them is water pollution. All kinds of things from cars, factories, farmsand homes make our rivers, lakes and oceans dirty. Polluted water is very bad for people to drink. And dirty water is bad for fish, too.How do cars and factories make our water dirty? First they pollute the air. Then when it rains, the rain water makes our drinking water dirty. Dirty rain, called acid rain（酸雨）, is also bad for plants, animals and buildings. Scientists say that in 30 years, more than half of the people in the world won't have enough dean water. We have to learn how to stop wasting water. One of the first steps is to develop ways of reusing it. Today in most large cities, water i~ used only once and then sere out into a sewer system（下水道）. From there it returns to the sea or goes underground.But even though every large city reused its water, we would still not have enough. So we should make use of sea water by removing the salt in it. If we can take these steps, fresh water won't be used up.1. The world is thirsty for water because______.A．we don't have enough fresh waterB．a lot of water goes into sewer systemsC．only 70% of the earth's surface is waterD．sea water is widely used rather than fresh water2. The underlined word "face" means"______".A．turn the face down B．turn the face upC．turn the face to D．turn the face back3. From this passage, we know acid rain________.A．is only bad for living thingsB．is not bad for buildings and factoriesC．can be produced in factoriesD．is bad for people, animals, plants and buildings4. One difficult way we can solve the problem is to ______.A．use the water with salt in it B．remove the salt from sea waterC．get water from underground D．reuse the water in cities5. What is the best title for this passage?A．Fresh water and sea water B．A thirsty countryC．The importance of water D．The world's water problemPassage DLet us begin by saying what causes our dreams. Our dreams do not come from another world. They are not messages from some outside source .They are not a look into the future, either.All our dreams have something to do with our feelings, fears, longings, wishes, needs and memories. If a person is hungry, or tired, or cold , his dreams may include a feeling of this kind. If the covers on your body, such as a quilt or a blanket, have slipped off your bed, you may dream that you are sleeping on ice or in snow. The material for the dream you will have tonightis likely to come from the experience you have today.So the subject of your dream usually comes from something that has influence on you while you are sleeping（feeling of cold, a noise, a discomfort, etc.）and it may also use your past experiences and the wishes and the interests you have now. This is why children are likely to dream of fairies, older children of school examinations, hungry people of food, home-sick soldiers of their families and prisoners of freedom.To show you how this is happening while you are asleep and how your needs and wishes can all be joined together in a dream, here is the story of the experiment. A man was asleep and the back of his hand was rubbed with a piece of absorbed cotton. He would dream he was in hospital and his charming girlfriend was visiting him, sitting on the bed and feeling gently his hands!There are some scientists who have made a special study of why we dream, what we dreamand what those dreams mean. Their explanation of dreams, though a bit reasonable, is notaccepted by everyone but it offers an interesting approach to the problem. They believe thatdreams are mostly expressions of wishes that did not come true. In other words dreaming is away of having your wishes carried out.1. From the passage we know that our dreams .A. are imagination of our daily lifeB. are man’s curious look into the futureC. have nothing to do with our feelingsD. are to some degree connected with ourfeelings2. In your dream when you feel like eating something it indicates（暗示）that .A. you are in a state of being coldB. you are in a state of being tiredC. you are in a state of hungerD. you should have had your dinner that day3. Some scientists’ explanation of dreams.A. is not widely accepted though a bit reasonableB. gives an exact description of ourlifeC. provides us with information of dreamsD. is of no use for usPassage EThomas I’m not really sure what I’ll do in the years from now. I guess that I will work, but Idon’t know what job I want to do y e t, maybe a doctor or a film director? But I can certainlytell you what I’ll do next week---- celebrating my birthday with my friends.

In the wilderness, everyone has his own way to protecthimself. Even plants have their own ways to fight off enemies.Over millions of years, plants have developed their own defense system (防卫系统).Chemicals are fantastically used by plants to survive (幸存). By making their leaves, flowers,roots and fruits poisonous (有毒的) to enemies, plants can fight back.One such plant is the Golden Wattle tree. The British scientist David Cameron has foundwhen an animal eats the tree’s leaves, the amount(数量) of poison increases in the otherleaves. “It’s like the injured leaves telephoning the others to fight together against the enemy,he said.The tree also sends defense messages to neighboring plants by giving out a special smell.Golden Wattle trees in the nearby 45 meters will get the message and produce more poisonwithin 10 minutes. Now, if an enemy eats too many of the trees’ leaves, he will die. Every kind of plant or tree is good at producing a special set of chemicals. Herbivores, likerabbits, can safely eat the leaves of one tree, but they may be poisoned by its neighbor.In this way, plants have not only developed their own defense system, but also shared it withothers. This makes it impossible for a single animal to destroy even a small area of forest.1．From the first 2 paragraphs, we can learn that _________.A. plants can do nothing against their enemiesB. chemicals are quite useful for plants to surviveC. an antelope can always run away from a strong lionD. leaves, roots, flowers and fruits of plants are poisonous2．If animals eat one Golden Wattle tree’s leaves, the tree can________.A. kill the animals with a special smellB. tell other trees to come to protect itC. warn other trees against the animals on the phoneD. send defense messages to the neighboring plants3．The underlined word “herbivores” in the 5th paragraph probably means animals which_____.A．produce poison B．live on small animalsC．like to eat rabbits D．feed on plants or grass4．The last paragraph of the passage suggests that this kind of defense system is ________.A．bad for animals B．good for forestsC．helpful to some animals D．harmful to forests5．The passage is mainly about __________.A．the examples of protecting forestsB．the balance between animals and plantsC．the ways of plants fighting against enemiesD．the relationship between lions and antelopesPassage GHow should you begin and finish an email message to someone you don't know? Find out here.Starting and finishing emailsHere are some important points to consider when starting and finishing an email.Formal or informal?We write a formal email when we want to be polite, or when we do not know the reader very well. A lot of work emails are formal. We write informal emails when we want to be friendly, or when we know the reader well. A lot of social emails are informal. Here are some examples of formal and informal messages:Formal InformalA job application（申请）An email to your managerA complaint to a shopAn email from one company to another company A birthday greeting to a colleague（同事）An email to a colleague who is also a good friend A social invitation to a friend at your workplaceA message to a friend on a social networking siteBefore you start writing an email, decide if you want to write a formal email or an informal one.Layout and punctuationStarting an email: We normally write a comma after the opening phrase.

We start a newline to write our name at the end.Formal InformalDear Mr Piper,I am writing to thank you for all your help.I look forward to seeing you next week.

She didn'tlike it and tried to pick it off.I told her, “Oh dear, that's a beauty mark. Don't pick it off.” She took another look at it. beautiful. I want to pick it off，” she cried.“Each of us is born with special marks. Some of them can be seen, but some of them areinvisible(看不见的)．”“What kind of mark is invisible？” she asked.“Well...a mark of kindness, even the mark of a loving heart.

（1）5G联网家电产品，让现代家居进入智能时代。

Most of us spend all day at school or work. After a long and busy day, all we want to do is return to a comfortable home. Smart technology can turn any home into a nicer place to live.Smart homes have been around for some time. Scottish company Pico Electronics invented a type of technology called X10 in 1975. It allows household devices (家用设备), such as lights and alarms, tocommunicate with each other byusing radio waves (无线电波),according to AVSytemsMag, aspecialized magazine in theaudiovisual (AV, 视听的) andautomation industry.Of course, 5G networkconnectivity has made smart homes much more sophisticated (复杂的) than X10. Perhaps the most widespread smart home technology is the voice-activated assistant (语音激活助手). Google Home and Amazon’s Alexa allow users to interact with nearly any device in their home simply by speaking a few words. This is especially convenient for children and people with physical disabilities, as they can finish tasks that would normally be too difficult, according to How-To Geek.Common household appliances (家用电器) can become “smart” as well. For example, a smart trash b in can keep track of the things you’ve thrown away and place an online order for new items, while smart refrigerators can create dinner recipes (菜谱) based on the vegetables that are being kept inside, according to HowStuffWorks.But it’s not just about con venience. Smart homes are also good for the environment. By regularly checking your energy use and automatically (自动地) turning off lights and other devices that you’re not using, smart homes can lower how much electricity you use overall. Using less energy means that we use fewer natural resources, which is good for the environment.1. X10 technology allows household devices to communicate by _____.A. using lightsB. using voicesC. using radio wavesD. connecting to a 5G network2. What is Paragraph 3 mainly about?A. Voice-activated assistants.B. How smart homes are built.C. The difference between X10 and 5G technologies.D. Technologies designed for children and the disabled.3.According to the passage, which statement is not true?A. X10 is created by a Scottish company.B.Smart refrigerators can cook your dinner based on the vegetables you have inside.C. The voice-activated assistant is more sophisticated smart home technology.D.A smart trash bin can place an online order for new items.4. How are smart homes better for the environment?A. They use recyclable household appliances.B. They are built with special materials.C. They have smart trash bins.D. They help us save energy.5.The article mainly tells us ______.A. how 5G develops.B. how to use 5G.C. how our home is like with the use of 5G.D. we also can be environmental with the use of 5G.【答案】本文从几个方面介绍5G技术在家居生活方面的应用。

WHO made the decision in its third meeting about the coronavirus, after it decided not to take such a step in the first two meetings.Officially called a Public Health Emergency of International Concern (PHEIC), it is considered to be a public health risk through the international spread of disease. It suggests a serious, sudden and unusual situation in which the world must act quickly.Since 2009, there have been a few global health emergencies, including the 2009 swine flu pandemic (猪流感) and the 2014 outbreak of ebola in West Africa.The new coronavirus has got attention because of its similarity to SARS which killed about 800 people across the world in 2002-2003. So far, the new coronavirus does not seem to be as deadly as SARS, but there have been more cases. Its declaration could cause trade and travel restrictions (限制). Those who have made holiday plans might have their plans affected (受影响的) in some parts of the world.The WHO said its greatest worry was the potential (潜在性) for the virus to spread to countries with weaker health systems, who might not be able to handle (处理) it. “We are all in this together and we can only stop it together,”said the WHO’s Director General, Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus.阅读短文内容，选择最佳选项。

六、书面表达保护野生动物一、阅读理解Since December, there have been tens of thousands of COVID-19 cases both in and out of China, caused by a previously unknown virus: novel coronavirus (新冠病毒).It’s not the first time for viruses to make headlines. Viruses have brought big trouble to humans, with their potential to cause widespread disease and death.What are they? Viruses are considered to be non-living organisms (有机物). They can infect animals and plants, making them sick. They contain genetic materials like DNA and are protected by a coating of protein.Unlike bacteria (细菌), viruses can’t reproduce on their own. Instead, they invaded the cells of living organisms to reproduce, spread and take over. But the basic question is: where did viruses first come from?Until now, no clear explanation for their origin exists. “Tracing the origins of viruses is difficult,” Ed Rybicki, a virologist at the university of Cape Town in South Africa, told Scientific American, “because viruses don’t leave fossils (化石) and because of the tricks they use to make copies of themselves withi n the cells they’ve invaded.”Understanding the origins of viruses means fully understanding the history of their hosts—not only humans, but also bacteria, plants and other animals, which is a complicated task, says Nature.However, there are three main theories to explain the origin of viruses. First, viruses started as independent organisms, and then became parasites (寄生者). Second, viruses evolved (进化) from pieces of DNA or RNA that“escaped” from larger organisms. The third one is that viruses co-evolved with their host cells, which means they existed alongside these cells.For the time being, these are only theories. The technology and proofs we have today cannot be used to test these theories and discover the most plausible explanation. Continuing studies may provide us with clearer answers. Or future studies may find that the answer is even more mysterious than it now appears.1. What can we learn about viruses from the passage?A. They only infect animals and plants.B. They reproduce by finding a host cell.C. They are really small living organisms.D. They are more dangerous than bacteria.2. The underlined word “plausible” in the last paragraph probably means “______”.A. creativeB. effectiveC. reasonableD. unbelievable3. What can we learn from the passage?A. The author is confident about further virus studies.B. Viruses will become more like bacteria as they evolve.C. Viruses live longer in human host cells than in animals.D. It may take a long time to discover the origin of viruses.4. What’s the best title of the passage?A. Where Do Viruses Come from?B. Why Is COVID-19 a Terrible Virus?C. How to Stop the Viruses from Spreading?D. What Are the Differences Between Viruses and Bacteria?二、完形填空As the saying goes, “A hero is known in the time of misfortune（不幸）”.Zhong Nanshan is a hero like this. He is a doctor in Guangdong, who 1many people’s lives in 2003.In 2003, SARS 2 in Guangdong. Later, it spread across China and otherparts of the world. Patients coughed a lot and got fevers.

To stop the spread of COVID-19, many countries are practicing social distancing (社交隔离). This means people should stay at home as much as possible, as well as stay at least 2 meters away from other people when in public, according to the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.Social distancing also refers to other ways of preventing the spread of the virus. These include studying online instead of going to school and canceling (取消) public activities.Many countries have set strict rules for social distancing. In Australia, for example, people who meet indoors must follow the “one person per four square meters” rule. This means that if a room has an area of 40 square meters, there should be no more than ten people in the room. In Singapore, people who don’t keep a distance of 1 meter in public areas may need to pay a fine of up to $10,000 (50,000 yuan) or up to six months in prison (监狱).There are also some more creative rules. In Panama, for example, men and women must leave their homes on different days, two hours at a time. In some Colombian towns, people can only go outside at certain times based on (基于) the last number of their national ID number.

Most of us spend all day at school or work. After a long and busy day, all we want to do is return to a comfortable home. Smart technology can turn any home into a nicer place to live.Smart homes have been around for some time. Scottish company Pico Electronics invented a type of technology called X10 in 1975. It allows household devices (家⽤设备), such as lights and alarms, tocommunicate with each other byusing radio waves (⽆线电波),according to AVSytemsMag, aspecialized magazine in theaudiovisual (AV, 视听的) andautomation industry.Of course, 5G network connectivity has made smart homes much more sophisticated (复杂的) than X10. Perhaps the most widespread smart home technology is the voice-activated assistant (语⾳激活助⼿). Google Home and Amazon’s Alexa allow users to interact with nearly any device in their home simply by speaking a few words. This is especially convenient for children and people with physical disabilities, as they can finish tasks that would normally be too difficult, according to How-To Geek.Common household appliances (家⽤电器) can become “smart” as well. For example, a smart trashbin can keep track of the things you’ve thrown away and place an online order for new items, while smart refrigerators can create dinner recipes (菜谱) based on the vegetables that are being kept inside, according to HowStuffWorks.But it’s not just about convenience. Smart homes are also good for the environment. By regularly checking your energy use and automatically (⾃动地) turning off lights and other devices that you’re not using, smart homes can lower how much electricity you use overall. Using less energy means that we use fewer natural resources, which is good for the environment.1. X10 technology allows household devices to communicate by _____.A. using lightsB. using voicesC. using radio wavesD. connecting to a 5G network2. What is Paragraph 3 mainly about?A. Voice-activated assistants.B. How smart homes are built.C. The difference between X10 and 5G technologies.D. Technologies designed for children and the disabled.3.According to the passage, which statement is not true?A. X10 is created by a Scottish company.B.Smart refrigerators can cook your dinner based on the vegetables you have inside.C. The voice-activated assistant is more sophisticated smart home technology.D.A smart trash bin can place an online order for new items.4. How are smart homes better for the environment?A. They use recyclable household appliances.B. They are built with special materials.C. They have smart trash bins.D. They help us save energy.5.The article mainly tells us ______.A. how 5G develops.B. how to use 5G.C. how our home is like with the use of 5G.D. we also can be environmental with the use of 5G.【答案】本⽂从⼏个⽅⾯介绍5G技术在家居⽣活⽅⾯的应⽤。

2020中考英语时事阅读测试含答案Passage 1 ：Meeting again for the first timeYou visit a park one day and someone nearly crashes into you while riding their bike. You feel like you've experienced this particular event before. Has this happened to you? This strange feeling is actually quite common. In psychology (心理学), it is known as "deja vu (似曾相识的感觉)".How can we explain this phenomenon (现象)? Scientists have tried to use virtual reality (虚拟现实) technology to reproduce it. In one study, scientists used the video game The Sims to study deja vu. For example, they replaced the bushes in the game's virtual garden with trash cans. When players looked at the garden, they experienced a sense of deja vu. Scientists think deja vu might be explained as a simple failure of memory. We see something that looks similar to something we've seen before, but our brains fail to find the exact memory. However, the brain still recognizes (识别) the similarity, leaving us with a sense of familiarity (熟悉感).Epilepsy (癫痫), a brain disease that can cause seizures (突然发作), is believed to be an extreme example of deja vu. People with epilepsy often experience unusual feelings similar to deja vu.Should we be worried when we experience deja vu? As long as it doesn't affect your daily life, researchers think there is no need to worry. In fact, some scientists believe that it may be helpful. They believe deja vu might be caused by the brain rearranging (重新组织) misplaced memories. This could show that our memories are working well. This theory also explains why younger people are more likely to experience it, as their brains are still growing.1"Deja vu" refers to _____.A. a phenomenon that happens during sleepB. a phenomenon that happens more than onceC. a sense of familiarity in a new situationD. a common feeling of strangeness2：How can scientists explain deja vu?A. By experiencing it themselves.B. By reproducing it in an experimental setting.C. By studying video games.D. By studying people who have poor memories.3：What do we know about deja vu, according to Paragraph 3?A. It seldom happens to people with good memories.B. It shows that our brains are in good shape.C. It is recognized as a mental illness.D. It happens when our memories fail.4：The last paragraph tells us about _____.A. the positive sides of deja vuB. the influence of deja vu on memoryC. new findings about deja vuD. young people who experience deja vu参考答案：CBDAPassage 2 ：Life after deathWhen whales die in the ocean, their huge bodies fall to the bottom (底部). Scientists have a name for this: a whale fall (鲸落). In March, Chinese scientists discovered (发现) a whale fall in the South China Sea (中国南海). This is the first whale fall ever found in China.After the whale falls to the bottom of the sea, other sea animals eat the meat off the dead whale. But did you know? The dead whale can become an ecosystem (生态系统). Many animals live on it.What happens during a whale fall?The whale body goes through three stages (阶段). What happens during these stages? Let's take a look together.No.1The whale body attracts (吸引) lots of sea animals, such as small fish, sharks and crabs. They come to eat the skin and muscle of the whale. Usually, it takes at least four months for those animals to eat the whale. Wow, what a good meal!No.2After the whale becomes a skeleton (骨架), other animals come. They are mollusks (软体动物) and worms (蠕虫). They build their homes on the bones (骨头). These animals are weak (柔弱的). The huge and strong whale bones protect them. This stage may last (持续) for about two years. No.3Bacteria (细菌) play an important role at the third stage. They disintegrate (分解) the lipids (脂类) in the bones and get energy (能量) from it. Thensmall animals such as sea snails (海螺) and clams (蛤蜊) eat the bacteria. This stage can last for as long as 100 years because the whale bones are very large.Some scientists believe there is a fourth stage. When all the useful parts are gone, the whale will become part of a reef (礁岩). Sea animals live and play around it.Did you know?The whale fall found in the South China Sea is 3 meters long. It is still in the first stage. Scientists saw fish eating the tail of the whale. This means the whale died recently.Whale falls are rareThere are less than 50 natural whale falls in the world. So it is lucky for China to find one. Why are they so rare? The sea is very big. It's hard for people to look for whale falls in such a big area. What's more, because of whale hunting (捕鲸), there are fewer whales in the world. Whales are selfless, even when they die. It's time for us to show respect (尊敬) to these great animals.1：Where did Chinese scientists discovered a whale fall ？2：How long does it take at the first stage after whale's death？3：What's important at the first stage？4：Why did the third stage last for as long as 100 years ？5：Whale falls are rare参考答案：1: in the South China Sea2：it takes at least four months for those animals to eat the whale.3：Bacteria play an important role at the third stage.4：because the whale bones are very large.5：The sea is very big. It's hard for people to look for whale falls in such a big area. What's more, because of whale hunting , there are fewer whales in the world.Passage 3：Inspired by KobeAlthough Kobe Bryant is no longer with us, his unbreakable will on and off the basketball court lives on. This month, it was announced that the late superstar would be inducted into the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame, a prestigious honor for basketball's best. Alongside Bryant, eight others will be inducted at a ceremony on Aug 29."His fierce competitiveness, work ethic and drive were unmatched," Jeanie Buss, owner of the Los Angles Lakes, told ESPN. "Those qualities helped Bryant lead us to five titles –and have now brought him to the Hall of Fame, where he will be enshrined with the greatest to have ever played the game. No one deserves it more."Indeed, what elevated Bryant above his peers was his unmatchable commitment to be the best. He was ruthless in his pursuit to dominate his opponents. He called it the "mamba mentality" after the black mamba, one of the world's deadliest snakes –and also after the top killer from the 2003 movie Kill Bill, according to The New Yorker.The mamba mentality became so popular that Bryant detailed his process in his book The Mamba Mentality: How I Play. In it, he revealed his famously detailed approach as well as his physical and mental preparation to not just succeed at the game, but to excel."Mamba mentality is all about focusing on the process and trusting in the hard work when it matters most," he wrote in the book. "It's the ultimate mantra for the competitive spirit. It started just as a hash tag that came to me one day, and it's grown into something athletes –and even non-athletes –embrace as a mindset."Bryant took after one of basketball's most legendary players, Michael Jordan, not only with regard to Jordan's playing style, but his competitive nature."I liked challenging people and making them uncomfortable," Bryant wrote in an excerpt published on the Players' Tribune. "That's what leads to introspection and that's what leads to improvement. You could say I dared people to be their best selves."Though many were shocked and sad when the Los Angles great died in a helicopter crash in January, all signs point to Bryant's legacy persisting for generations to come. Whether you're a basketball player or not, you can't deny the Kobe's power to inspire you to be your best self.1：when will the ceremony be inducted？2:What Did Jeanie Buss say about Kobe?3:What did Kobe think of Mamba mentality?4:Did Kobe die in a helicopter crash in January?5：What do you think of Kobe's power？参考答案：1: on Aug 29.2: His fierce competitiveness, work ethic and drive were unmatched3: Mamba mentality is all about focusing on the process and trusting in the hard work when it matters most4:：Yes；it is5：inspiredPassage 4：Panic breeds stockpilingBeing in the midst of a pandemic lockdown can make people feel worried. But nothing has exemplified (例证) this panicky behavior more than hoarding (囤积), specifically toilet paper.Seemingly transcending (超越) borders and cultures, people from all over the world, including the US, UK and Japan, have been clearing supermarket shelves primarily for this necessity. But what's the reason for this sudden toilet paper fixation? You can understand panic buying food, but do we really need this much toilet paper?Steven Taylor, author of the book The Psychology of Pandemics, told the Independent that our toilet paper hoarding is a product of our disgust. During a pandemic, people's sensitivity (敏感) to disgust increases, like when you flinch (躲避) if someone nearby sneezes (打喷嚏)."Disgust is like an alarm mechanism (机制) ... and what better tool for eliminating (消除) disgusting material than toilet paper. I think this is how it became a conditioned symbol of safety," he said.Writing for The Conversation, Niki Edwards of The Queensland University of Technology said, "When people hear about the novel coronavirus, they are afraid of losing control. And toilet paper feels like a way to maintain control over hygiene (卫生) and cleanliness."Another one of the most prominent reasons behind this toilet paper trend, according to the BBC, is the snowball effect. Due to its prominent coverage, both in the news and social media, people naturally ask, "Will there be enough toilet paper for my family and me?" This invariably (一成不变地) leads to more people following the crowd and buying toilet paper because of their fear of missing out."Fear is very contagious. So when those sorts of things go viral (走红), when you see people around you buying things in a panicky way, it's going to make you feel more anxious," wrote American psychologist Baruch Fischhoff for CNBC.While there are, of course, selfish people who stockpile (囤积) just because they can, it's worth keeping things in perspective. Remember, just as countries are cooperating to find a vaccine, we must cooperate to ensure that everyone has their share of necessities.1：According to Steven Taylor, what does this toilet paper trend result from?A. The desire to get rid of disgusting material.B. The fear of losing control over cleanliness.C.The frequent reporting on toilet paper.D. The selfish side of human nature.2：Whose words are quoted to explain "the snowball effect"?A. Steven Taylor's.B. Niki Edwards'.C.Baruch Fischhoff's.D. The author's.3：What does the underlined phrase "keeping things in perspective" in the last paragraph mean?A. Following the crowd.B. Reducing panic.C.Being prepared for uncertainty.D.Taking everything into consideration.4：What is the author's purpose in writing this text?A.To explore the negative effects of the toilet paper hoarding.B. To explain why people tend to stockpile toilet paper.C.To criticize those people who hoard toilet paper.D. To discuss people's different attitudes toward the toilet paper hoarding.参考答案：ACDBPassage 5 Zhou shines like treasureCan you sing in different 1 （voice）? Chinese singer Zhou Shen can do this.

Some people call him "treasure boy (宝藏男孩)".1-5：voices；including；impressed；success；however6-10：at；strong；gradually；humorous；friendlyPassage 6 No limit to languageChina's cultural influence (影响) is starting to rise around the world. Translation (翻译) plays an important role. From sci-fi to wuxia to animated (动画的) movies, translation bridges the language gap (语言隔阂) and helps foreigners learn more about Chinese culture, both traditional and modern. Here, TEENS has chosen several Chinese books and movies that have been translated into English. They are all popular in the West, partly because they are well-translated.The Three-Body Problem 《三体》This Hugo Award (雨果奖) winner is the most well-known work of Chinese science fiction (sci-fi，科幻小说). Its translator, Ken Liu (刘宇昆), helped it become popular.Liu was born in China and grew up in the US. He can speak both Chinese and English. He also writes sci-fi stories himself. That made him the best choice to translate the story. Liu didn't translate the book word for word. Instead, he tried to make it easier for English readers to understand. For example, he changed the structure (结构) of the story and moved its historical background (背景) to the beginning.Foreign readers like the English version (版本), including former US president Barack Obama. Many English speakers have become fans of Liu Cixin and Chinese sci-fi.Ne Zha 《哪吒之魔童降世》Last year, when the animated movie Ne Zha went to North American theaters, there was wide discussion online about the translation. People found it hard to translate some Chinese phrases (短语) into English. One example was the Taoist spell (咒语) jijirulüling ("急急如律令"). American translator Jerimiah Willhite translated the film. He learned Chinese while in college and is a big fan of Chinese culture. He has read many classic (古典的) Chinese books, including Tao Te Ching (《道德经》).He translated the spell to "be quick to obey (遵从) my command (指令)." His work has helped English speakers enjoy the movie. On the movie review (影评) website Rotten Tomatoes, Ne Zha has a rating (评分) of 88 percent.Legends of the Condor Heroes 《射雕英雄传》Almost everyone in China knows Jin Yong and his wuxia books. But in the West, he is not well-known. One reason is that his books are hard to translate. But British translator Anna Holmwood decided to try. Holmwood began to learn Chinese at 21. When she read Legends of the Condor Heroes, she loved the world and characters in the book. She wanted to bring the book to more people.Many phrases in the book are hard to translate. But Holmwood made them easy and natural (自然的) to understand. For example, she translated xianglongshibazhang ("降龙十八掌") into "the 18 palm (掌) attacks (攻击) to defeat (打败) dragons".When the English book came out in the UK in 2018, it was reprinted (重印) seven times within just a few months.1：The writer thinks that translation can _____.A. help Chinese people learn EnglishB. make Chinese books and movies popular in the WestC.encourage Chinese writers to write better booksD. make some translators famous2：Why was Ken Liu the best choice to translate The Three-Body Problem?A. Because he knows both Chinese and US culture well.B. Because he is an experienced translator.C.Because he is a popular translator in the West.D. Because he is the writer's best friend.3：From the story, we know that _____.A. it is easy to translate animated moviesB. Jerimiah Willhite is a fan of Ne ZhaC.Ne Zha was a success in AmericaD. Ne Zha is a famous character in the West4：According to the story, how did Holmwood translate wuxia books?A. She talked with Jin Yong.B.

But Wu Keying did so during the novel coronavirus outbreak. “I feared that I would be infected. Now I know it’s not necessary to do so. But I am still worried about when the epidemic will end,” said the 13-year-old from Chengdu, Sichuan province. Being stuck inside makes her feel anxious.In fact, many people have experienced feelings like Wu. Nearly 80 percent of people are deeply worried about the outbreak, while 40 percent strongly fear it, according to a survey released on Jan 27 by the Chinese Academy of SocialSciences.These emotions (情绪) are normal for people who are going through stressful events, according to Wang Weihua, an expert on positive psychology (积极心理学). “Some stressful reactions (反应) can help us fight the virus,” Wang said. “We take more protective actions, such as wearing masks and washing h ands often, for example.”But if these feelings last too long, it will be bad for our mental (心理的) health, Wang added. So how can we stay positive?First, we should learn to accept unexpected changes in life, wrote Xiong Kewei, a psychological consultant (咨询师) at Beijing Normal University. We might learn new lessons from these changes, like respecting (尊重) nature and being more responsible (有担当的).Another useful way to stay positive is to stick to a normal routine (正常作息).“The key is to ta ke good care of the body, arrange a reasonable schedule, ensure adequate sleep and diet, and get the necessary rest and relaxation,” Zhang Hong, deputy chief physician of Wuhan Mental Health Center, told China Daily.阅读短文，从每小题所给的选项中选择能回答问题的最佳选项。

But John Anthony West says that it’s much older. If he’s right,“everything anybody has learned about ancient civilizations (文明) would have to be completely revised,” he told a magazine.West, a writer and film-maker, first got interested in ancient history after studying the work of a French researcher. The researcher said Egyptian civilization could have developed as early as 30,000 years ago, rather than 4,500 years ago, as most experts believe.West joined a scientist to do research together. Their research suggested that the Sphinx had been worn down (磨损) over the years by water, rather than by sand and wind.Wait a minute? Water? How could that be? The Sphinx is in the Sahara Desert, which has been dry for 12,000 years! However, before that time, it was very green. If it’s true that water wore down the Sphinx, West thinks that it must have been built centuries earlier.Whether West is right or wrong, it’s important to challenge accepted ideas. That’s how science progresses.West gave some advice for kids: If you are interested in a topic, read everything you can on it. Do your own research. Don’t always believe everything your teachers tell you. Ask lots of questions, and find your own answers.21. What does the underlined word “revised” in Paragraph1 mean?A. Connected.B. Created.C. Changed.D. Controlled.22. Most scientists believed Egyptian civilization developed _______.A. 4,500 years agoB. 6,000 years agoC. 12,000 years agoD. 30,000 years ago23. From West’s research, we can know the Sphinx was worn down by _______.A. sandB. waterC. windD. heat24. What does Paragraph 4 mainly talk about?A. The place where West did his research.B. The period when the Sphinx was built.C. The reason why West holds his opinion.D. The technology which was used to build the Sphinx.25. Which of the following may the writer agree?A. Science progresses through giving different opinions.B. Egyptian civilization should be earlier than we thought.C. One should do some research before giving their opinions.D. Kids should ask lots of questions and believe what their teachers say.参考答案A：1-5 BDCCDB：6-10 CCDAAC：11-15 CDBACD：16-20 ADBBAE: 21-25 CABCA。

But Wu Keying did so during the novel coronavirus outbreak. “I feared that I would be infected. Now I know it’s not necessary to do so. But I am still worried aboutwhen the epidemic will end,”said the 13-year-old from Chengdu, Sichuan province. Being stuck inside makes her feel anxious.In fact, many people have experienced feelings like Wu. Nearly 80 percent of people are deeply worried about the outbreak, while 40percent strongly fear it, according to a survey released on Jan 27 by the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences.These emotions are normal for people who are going through stressful events, according to Wang Weihua, an expert on positive psychology. “Some stressful reactions can help us fight the virus,”Wang said. “We take more protective actions, such as wearing masks and washing hands often, for example.”But if these feelings last too long, it will be bad for our mental health, Wang added. So how can we stay positive?First, we should learn to accept unexpected changes in life, wrote Xiong Kewei, a psychological consultant (咨询师) at Beijing Normal University. We might learn new lessons from these changes, like respecting nature and being more responsible.Another useful way to stay positive is to stick to a normal routine (正常作息).“The key is to take good care of the body, arrange a reasonable schedule, ensure adequate sleep and diet, and get the necessary rest and relaxation,”Zhang Hong, deputy chief physician of Wuhan Mental Health Center, told China Daily.（）1.

But their fight against the virus makes society see their bravery. Sun Qin is a 21-year-old nurse from Jiangsu Province. She said, “This is my first year of being a nurse. I was frightened at the beginning and was worried about being infected, but I was not afraid any more when seeing how my partners cheered and encouraged each other.”These medical heroes risk their lives on the front line of the disaster.

Will robots control our planet? Will computers become smarter than us? Not likely. But here are some things that scientists say are most likely to happen in 10 to 30 years from now, according to the BBC．Digital moneyWe need to pay with cash for everything we bought. Now when we use a credit card to shop online, money is spent without us seeing it. That means we are already using digital money. Using a card is much easier than searching our pockets for change. It is also safer than carrying a lot of cash.When ATM cards were first introduced, they were not accepted everywhere. But now it’s hard to live without them. It’s reported that people in Sweden completely stopped using cash last year, and the US might be next.Bionic（仿生的）eyeIt’s no longer something only in a science fiction movie. People who are blind may have a chance to get their sight back-by wearing bionic eyes.A blind eye can no longer sense light, but a bionic eye can use a camera to “see” the environment and send data to the mind. Now the bionic eye only allows patients to see lights and unclear shapes. A high resolution（高清的）image could be just a few years away.Self-driving carsUnlike a human driver, a self-driving car won’t get distracted（分神）by a phone call, the radio or something outside the window. Sensors（探测器）and cameras on the car would allow it to stick strictly to the rules of the road and keep a safe distance from other cars. This would greatly reduce the number of road accidents. You could even take a nap while the car drives itself. In the future, driverless cars would be widely accepted.6．What does the writer mainly tell us about digital money?A．We use digital money to shop online without paying money.B．Digital money is most likely to be used instead of cash.C．Using cash is easier and safer than a credit card.D．ATM cards are always popular.7．Which of the following statements is TRUE?A．Bionic eyes only appear in the science fiction film.B．Human drivers won’t get distracted by something outside.C．The blind wearing bionic eyes may see clearly in the future.D．There will be no road accident at all if self-driving cars are used.8．From the report, we can learn some information about ______.A．culture and art B．industry and farmingC．science and technology D．traffic and shopping9．Which of the following can be predicted（预测）from the passage?A．There would be a number of self-driving cars on the road.B．The blind could use cameras to see things around.C．We would live a hard life with digital money.D．Robots would control the world.03（2023·湖南长沙·长沙市南雅中学校考二模）China has completed its BeiDou Navigation Satellite System (北斗卫星导航系统), or BDS. It becomes a new system in the world with a global navigation network (全球导航网络). The other three systems are GPS of the US, GLONASS of Russia and Galileo of the European Union.As the name suggests, the global navigation satellite system provides navigation and location services 24 hours a day. As we know, building a good satellite system costs a lot. Besides, the other systems have been set up. Why does China have a new one if there is nothing special?The other three systems have 24 satellites. China’s BDS has six more satellites. What’s special about these six satellites is that they have a relatively fixed area of activity. This can improve BDS’ accuracy (精准度) in China and the Asia-Pacific region to 5 meters, compared with a 10-meter accuracy in other areas.BDS has another advantage-the short message service. It allows users to have a two-way communication. In areas that are not covered by communication signals (信号), users can send short messages. Even in uninhabited areas, such as deserts, forests, mountainous and polar areas, BDS can also make the short message service available.With this service, users who are in danger can tell the rescue team (救援队) their location and condition.As the most populous country, it’s important for China to have its own global navigation satellite system to meet the needs of the country’s development. In fact, BDS is also good business. According to the official report, China’s satellite industry has kept a 20% yearly growth since 2012. And BDS contributes about 80% of it. In addition, BDS has also created countless high-paying jobs. And with continuous improvement, it will have much more to offer in the future.10．Which one is the global navigation satellite system of China?A．BDS.B．GPS of the US.C．GLONASS of Russia.11．How many satellites does BeiDou-3 have in total?A．6.B．24.C．30.12．What does the underlined word “uninhabited” mean in Paragraph 4?A．人口众多的B．无人居住的C．风平浪静的13．What are true about China’s BDS according to Paragraph 5?a. It has met the needs of China’s development.b. It is regarded as good business.c. It has caused a number of people to lose their jobs.A．a, c B．a, b C．b, c14．In which part of a newspaper can we probably read this passage?A．Technology.B．Culture.C．History.04（2022秋·广东梅州·九年级校考阶段练习）The local government of Haidian and the Internet company Baidu had an agreement in January, 2018. They wanted to develop the “smart city” together. Haidian Park was chosen by them. Why was Haidian Park chosen? It is because the park covers about 34 hectares (公顷) near the 4th Ring Road. And it received about 1.2 million tourists last year. It took the workers 10 months to change Haidian Park into an artificial intelligence AI (人工智能) theme park. It was opened to the public in early November.Now the park has driverless buses, smart lamp posts (灯柱) and smart speakers. The buses themselves can run according to the directions from a computer. The smart lamp posts can record a lot of data quickly and well. The smart speakers can understand human instructions correctly. The park gives people a totally new look. People can experience different artificial intelligence here.Che Jianguo said that a total of 10 government departments and companies took part in the rebuilding of the park over the past 10 months. He comes from the park office and he is in charge of the program.In recent years, Chinese high-tech companies begin to do some things in the artificial intelligence industry. The central government also said in October that it would help the development of the country's new generation of artificial intelligence.15．Haidian Park was chosen to become the “smart city” because _____.A．it is the biggest park in Beijing B．it is next to the 4th Ring Road C．it has large size and is popular16．The underlined word “driverless” in Paragraph 2 means “_____” in Chinese.A．无人驾驶的B．无座位的C．跑得快的17．Today, Chinese high-tech companies pay more attention to _____.A．the global economy B．the artificial intelligence industry C．the development of our country 18．The best title of the text is “_____”.A．Haidian Artificial Intelligence Theme ParkB．Chinese High-tech CompaniesC．Building A “Smart City”05（2023·山东日照·日照市新营中学校考三模）China’s biggest solar-powered drone(太阳能无人机), Qimingxing-50 or Morning Star 50, finished its first test flight in September, 2022. The drone was built by the Aviation Industry Corporation of China(A VIC, 中国航空工业集团有限公司)Drones have been used for quite a few years now. There are different ways of increasing the flying time. However, all these methods become less useful compared with the unlimited(无限的) power provided by the Sun. That’s why researchers have been working to make solar-powered drones that can not only stay in the air for longer but also perform more tasks while in the sky.In 2018, China tested the first version(版本) of Morning Star, which was 91 feet wide. Made from a special kind of plastic, the drone was so light, weighing only 41 pounds. Compared with it, the Morning Star 50 is much larger and has a wingspan(翼展) of 164 feet.On September 3, Morning Star 50 took off from an airport in Yulin City in the Shaanxi province in northwest China and landed back 26 minutes later after a smooth flight. Staff told some local reporters that all flight systemsworked normally. This is a good start for future flights of the solar-powered drone that could last for many days or even months at a time.In the US, Airbus has been testing the Zephyr solar-powered drones for the past few years. Its latest version, the Zephyr S, came close to breaking the record for the longest flight. It stayed in the air for 64 days. Unluckily, the drone fell onto the ground only a few hours before it would have set a new record.19．Which one is an advantage of solar-powered drones researchers want?A．They’re cheaper than others.B．They can fly in bad weather.C．They fly at a higher speed.D．They can stay in the air for longer.20．What made the first version of Morning Star light?A．Its look.B．Its material.C．The power it uses.D．The tasks it performs.21．What can we know about Zephyr S?A．It failed to land smoothly.B．It flew for only a few hours.C．It set a new record in the US.D．It had been tested for many years.22．What’s the main purpose of the text?A．To compare different drones.B．To report a drone’s test flight.C．To discuss drones’ future.D．To tell the importance of drones.06（2022秋·广东深圳·九年级校考期末）Most people have a place to call home on Earth. What about in outer space? The International Space Station(ISS) became our first “home” in space in 2000. It welcomed its first crew that year, paving the way for 20 years of future research.“You just have this impression that we’re all citizens of not a particular country, but of the planet,” former NASA astronaut Scott Kelly told National Geographic about working in ISS. “We’re all in this thing called humanity together.”Over the past 20 years, the ISS has mainly been used as a science lab, hosting 241 people from 19 countries, according to NASA．They have gone on spacewalks, done research on how space affects the human body, and even grown plants in space.The station’s development has also benefited people on Earth. For example, the station’s water purification(净化) technology has been used in poor areas to provide clean drinking water. The station also helps to warn us of natural disasters, such as earthquakes.However, after being our home in space for over 7000 days, the station is starting to get old. It has leaked(泄露) air a few times. Scientists think that the station can keep working until 2024. After that, scientists will bring it down to Earth. It is believed that Earth’s atmosphere will burn up most of the station. Other debris(残骸) will fall into the Pacific Ocean.In the future, space will be home to more stations like the ISS. NASA is building a space station that is smaller than the ISS near the moon. Also, China will have its own space station up and running in 2022.23．What did Scott Kelly feel about his work in space?A．Comfortable.B．Proud.C．Bored.D．Lonely.24．What haven’t the astronauts done while working in ISS?A．Clean the raindrops.B．Walk on space.C．Study how space affects the human body.D．Grow plants.25．What can we infer from the 5th paragraph?A．Though the ISS getting old, it will be improved and stay in space.B．The Earth’s atmosphere will help bring the ISS down to Earth.C．The whole station will soon be burnt up and fall into the ocean.D．The ISS will be brought back to Earth after a few years.26．What do we know about the International Space Station?A．It is the first space station launched by NASA．B．It mainly develops water purification technology.C．It benefits all the human beings on Earth.D．It can keep running until 2023.27．What can be the best title of this passage?A．Our Home in Space.B．Visiting the ISS.C．A New Space Station.D．Working in Outer Space.参考答案：1．C 2．B 3．B 4．C 5．A【导语】本文主要讲述2023年，科学技术将继续快速发展。
