"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. They are sending these pictures over the Internet to a young girl in Scotland. Then she shares the pictures and stories with people around the world.The girl's name is Martha. She likes to write. So Martha decided to start her own blog（博客）. Every day, Martha writes on the Internet about the meals she eats at school. She also takes pictures of the food. Martha is very honest about the food. 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. But the total（总共）reached 100,000 dollars and still keeps on growing!Martha's blog has also helped to improve meals at her school. Martha and her school friends found their meals improved since she started writing her blog.No one knows what will happen to Martha's blog in the future.

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. What does the underlined word “subtle” in the last paragraph probably mean?A. unnoticeableC. positiveB. strongD. similar阅读理解BAn old lady in a plane had a blanket（毯子）over her head and she did not want to take it off .

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.

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.

He wanted me to get a good job, and live a quiet, pleasant life. But I wanted adventure and an exciting life.“I want to be a sailor and go to sea", I told my mother and father. They were very unhappy about this.“Please don’t go. "my father said, "You won't be happy you know. Sailors have a difficult and dangerous life. "andbecause I love him, and he was unhappy, I tried to forget about the sea.But I couldn't forget, and about a year later, I saw a friend in town.

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。

2022年湖南省永州市中考英语真题学校:___________姓名：___________班级：___________考号：___________一、阅读单选Food Gone to WasteMore than a billion tons of food are wasted each year, according to a new report from the United Nations. That’s 17% of the food produced in the world in a year.Most waste happens at home, the reports say. People buy too much food. They also throw it away too soon because of the date on the package. Waste happens in restaurants and stores, too.Experts say governments need to do more to avoid food waste and develop better habits. Richard Swannell is one of the reports authors. He hopes the government will lead people to value food more. “Food is too important to waste.” he says.1．How much food is wasted each year?A．More than a million tons.B．More than a billion tons.C．Over 17% of the food produced.2．Where does most food waste happen?A．In restaurants.B．At home.C．In stores.Habitat for Humanity is a group that builds homes for families in need. This group works all over the world. V olunteers help build the homes. They are unpaid workers. Volunteers can be builders and painters. They can also be teachers or bankers. Some are students. Habitat for Humanity has built more than 300,000 houses.3．When was Habitat for Humanity set up?A．In 1976.B．In 1996.C．In 2007.4．How many houses did Habitat for Humanity build in 2003?A．100,000.B．150,000.C．300,000.5．Whom does Habitat for Humanity build homes for?A．Families in need.B．Unpaid workers.C．Builders and painters.Parents and children often face the challenges of money. Common topics include setting pocket money, learning to save, and deciding to buy expensive things. The goal of most parents is to teach their kids how to deal with money wisely. The goal of most kids is getting money to spend. How can families achieve these goals?The Tidier family in Denver found the best way to teach about money was to let their kids make some money. Their son, Ryan, 17, has been watering in the garden since he was 8. He owned his own tools with the help of his parents. Now he has saved $7,800. Besides, he bought a bike and a wonderful sound system. And he is going to buy a car next year.Money skills are an important part of becoming a successful adult. David Brady manages a company toward children and young adults. “They shouldn’t be always thinking of spending money.” Brady warns. Instead, they should understand basic rules for making money, saving money, and managing money.That knowledge is greatly needed. Over the past ten years, most Americans aged 18 to 24 borrowed nearly $3,000 on credit card(信用卡). Among high school seniors, four out of five have never taken a class about money.Giselle Lopez, 17, of New York City, learned the hard way. She owed(欠) $2,000 on her first credit card. Her parents refused to pay, so Giselle got a job. Then she paid the money off slowly by herself. “Now every time I use money, I know that it comes from my own pocket,” Giselle says. “That gives me a sense of responsibility for my actions.” Different kids will have different styles when it comes to money. Teaching them how to use money doesn’t have to mean setting strict rules. When children like Ryan and Giselle have their own money to consider, they can learn to set those rules themselves.6．What is the goal of most parents about money?A．To set kids’pocket money.B．To get money to spend.C．To teach kids how to deal with money wisely.7．What is the best way to teach about money in The Tidier family?A．To buy expensive things.B．To give kids some money.C．To let kids make some money.8．What did Ryan buy with his own money?A．A car.B．A bike.C．Watering tools 9．How much money did Giselle owe on her first credit card?A．$2,000.B．$3,000C．$7,800.10．How did Giselle pay the money of she owed?A．By credit card.B．By her parents.C．By herself.On August 30, 2021, the Chinese government announced that kids would not be allowed to play online games Mondays to Thursdays. On weekends and holidays, kids would be limited(限制) to an hour a day of online gaming. “Recently, many parents have reported that playing games crazily among some youths and children is seriously harming their normal study, life and health.” the Chinese government said online. This news got us thinking. Should the government be responsible for limiting how much time kids spend online? Here are some students’opinions.Esme McNeely, 11The government should not set screen-time limits. That decision should be up to parents. Some children need to use screens for homework. And during the COVID-19, one of the only ways to talk to friends was online. Government limits would not be fair to people who are careful with their screen time.Lucas Barone, 11The government should not limit screen time. A 2021 study from the University of Colorado Boulder says screen time might be less harmful to kids than people think. Some parents worry that children online too much won’t make friends. But the study reports that screen time can actually improve kids’friendships. In fact, screen time can be educational. I use websites to read and to learn math.Xiuhan Zhu, 9I think the government should take action and limit screen time for kids. Too muchscreen time can lead to tiredness and less social time. People who use smartphones are more likely to get into car accidents. Electrical products like computers can also be harmful for kids. If kids aren’t careful with the websites they use, criminals can get important information.Ning Li, 10Most people spend too much time on their phones and TVs. They hurt their eyes and waste their time. And watching a lot of TV or playing games can influence kids’ learning and social skills. If the government limited screen time, people would be encouraged to spend more time with their family. They might join a sports team in their neighborhood. 11．When are kids allowed to play online games for an hour a day?A．On Mondays.B．On Wednesday.C．On weekends. 12．Who is against screen-time limits?A．Esme McNeely.B．Xiuhan Zhu.C．Ning Li.13．What does the study from he University of Colorado Boulder show?A．Screen time might do no harm to kids.B．Screen time can improve kids’ friendships.C．Screen time won’t help kids make friends.14．What are Ning Li’s opinions about screen-time limits?A．Too much screen time can lead to tiredness.B．Criminals can get important information easily.C．People are encouraged to spend more time with their family.15．What is the article mainly about?A．Screen time can be educational.B．Screen time can lead to less social time.C．Whether the government should set screen-time limits.Smart, Social AnimalsRecently, researchers have found that dolphins know their own names much like people. Dolphins talk to one another with whistles(口哨) and calls. Scientists have known that the animals also use unusual whistles to name each other. They had thought that dolphins only heard each other’s voices. However, the scientists didn’t know that dolphins listen for their names too.To test this idea, the researchers caught 14 dolphins and recorded their name calls. Thescientists then copied each dolphin’s voice. When the changed recordings were played, the dolphins replied strongly to the names of their relatives and group members. They paid no attention to the names of dolphins they did not know.Dolphins live in large groups that grow and change. Each dolphin’s unusual whistle helps it quickly find a friend or a family member, or call for help. Understanding their calls requires learning. It’s a skill that’s seen in very few animals, which include humans, elephants and bats.Elephants, for example, communicate with sound. Their sounds can be heard by other elephants miles away. Dolphins, too, communicate with each other by making sounds like this.Elephants also communicate by moving their head, feet and trunk. In much the same way, dolphins communicate by their movements. They often touch each other to express friendship.Unlike dolphins, elephants also communicate by their great sense of smell. They can recognize other elephants by the smells they have.Why do dolphins and elephants share the gift of communication? Scientists think it may be because they are social and smart animals. Both have strong family relationship. Now, whether they also have nicknames is another question!16．What have researchers found about dolphins recently?A．Dolphins know their own names.B．Dolphins only hear each other’s voices.C．Dolphins talk to one another not much like people.17．Just before the researchers recorded dolphins’name calls, they ________.A．copied dolphins’ voiceB．caught 14 dolphinsC．trained the dolphins to whistle18．When a dolphin gets into trouble, what will it do?A．It will call for help.B．It will turn its head.C．It will touch another dolphin.19．What are the differences between dolphins and elephants in communication? A．Elephants can communicate by smell.B．Elephants can communicate by sound.C．Dolphins can communicate by movement.20．What does the underlined word “recognize" mean in Chinese?A．驱逐B．认出C．触碰二、阅读还原6选5阅读下面的短文，从所给的A~F六个选项中，选出正确的答案填空，使短文通顺，内容完整，其中选项中有一项是多余的。

There are many different opinions. Some people say that the people of ancient Egypt invented it, some say the Romans invented it and some say Lu ban's wife invented it in ancient China. There's even an interesting story about its invention in China.Luban was the most famous craftsman（工匠）in ancient China. One day, Luban and his wife were taking a walk and enjoying the beautiful view. Suddenly it began to rain. Both of them were soaked when they got back home. Lu ban's wife said, "If there is something that can protect people from the rain when they are walking outdoors, it will be wonderful." Then Lu ban said, "That's easy. I will build many pavilions（亭）." His wife replied. "That's a good idea, but it is not convenient. Is it possible to make a movable（可移动的）pavilion, which could always follow the people?" She thought all day and all night. One day, she saw some kids playing in the rain, and each kid held a big lotus leaf（荷叶）over the head to protect themselves from getting wet. That gave her a great idea. Then, she made the first umbrella in ancient China.Since the umbrella was invented, it has been part of people's life in every corner of the world. Right now, there are many kinds of umbrellas, such as beach umbrellas, kids umbrellas and market umbrellas.How many umbrellas are made every year in the world? Maybe millions or even more.

The school is James Madison High School in Houston. It has made it clear that if parents wear pajamas, hair rollers, leggings（睡衣、卷发器、打底裤）and other clothes that are not proper for school, they will not be allowed to go in. Headmaster CarlottaOutley Brown sent parents a letter and told them about the dress code this April. The school hopes to help create a good learning environment. But some parents aren't happy with the new code. Once a mother was asked to leave the school because she wore a short T-shirt dress and a headscarf. She felt she was insulted. In Tennessee, a lawmaker（立法者）also suggested that parents and some other visitors to schools should follow a dress code just like the school staff and students do.In the UK, parents are being encouraged to be careful with what they wear, too. Back in 2016. the head of a primary school in Darlington wrote to moms and dads to warn them not to send their children to school while wearing pajamas.

BWhen you're not at home, many worries may start to crowd your mind. Did I turn the coffee maker off? Did I lock the door? Are the kids doing their homework or watching television? With a smart home, you can quiet all of these worries.A smart home is a home with a communication network. This network connects devices （装置）,such as lights and TV sets, and allows them to be controlled from far away through electrical wiring, mobile phone communication or WiFi over the internet.More and more people may start to consider owning a smart home, because it makes life much more convenient. It can help keep your room at a certain temperature. It can record what happens inside the home and send the video to your phone. When you are on vacation abroad, you can use a smart home controller to switch on or off the electricity when necessary. Some smart homes can receive a visitor, allowing him to come in and offering him a drink. They can even feed the cat and water the plants.Besides, smart homes are easy to fix. Most smart home technology and devices are wireless and can be set up with a minimum of tools, using only the guiding information. When a problem appears, you can deal with it yourself without paying a professional.However, for home-users, the smart home technology is far from perfect. It can be rather expensive to own the technology and the devices. Also, because the smart home system（系统）allow its owner to get home information from anywhere, it leaves the home easy to be attacked by hackers（黑客）,who may secretly use or change the information in the system.Now, many scientists are excited at the future of smart home technology. Imagine being able to get fashion advice from your mirror, or receive food shopping suggestions from your refrigerator. While there are others who worry that those smart devices will make people lazier and lonelier. Whatever it is, one thing is for sure---smart home technology will change the way we live and work.（1）According to the passage, nowadays a smart home can lock the door through .A. electric lightsB. mirror technologiesC. mobile phonesD. shopping programs （2）The third paragraph of the passage is mainly about .A. the steps to use smart systemsB. the prices of smart programsC. the advantages of a smart homeD. the tools for setting up smart devices（3）Which of the following is TRUE about a smart home according to the passage?A. Smart homes can't help feed pets nowadays.B. Smart homes costs a lot of money at present.C. You can't control your smart home in other countries.D. It's hard for hackers to get information from smart homes.（4）What's the writer's opinion according to the passage?A. People will become less happy in the future.B. People's life style will be different in the future.C. Mobile phones are the most important in smart homes.D. Smart homes are much better than other smart systems.【答案】（1）C（2）C（3）B（4）B【解析】【分析】本文介绍了智能家居的基本功能和新型理念，作者认为智能家居技术将对我们的生活和工作方式带来变革。
