上海市静安区2021-2023年中考英语二模试卷分类汇编回答问题2023年上海市静安区中考二模英语试卷IX. Answer the questions (根据以下内容回答问题) (12分)Face to the Sunshine“Keep your face to the sunshine and you cannot see the shadows” is a popular saying. It encourages people to make the best of a situation, to see the “bright side” of things. It calls attention to the way sunflowers follow the sun during the day. People have known about this phenomenon (现象) for a long time. Recently scientists have discovered how this works. They know why sunflower s keep their “faces” to the sunshine.Sunflowers move and respond to their environment. These flowers actually face the sun as it rises in the cast and follow it as it moves across the sky until it sets in the west. Just like people. these flowers depend on the daily rhythms (节奏) of the day and night. Both the sunflowers and human beings wake up in the morning, follow the sun all day and then rest at night.During the day, young sunflower plants track the sun from east to west. The green flower head turns towards the sun. At night, the young plants turn east waiting for the sun to rise in the morning. Adult sunflowers don’t move. Once the flower is open, it faces only east. Scientists have discovered that this movement and lack of movement has to do with uneven (不均匀的) growth in the plant stems. One side of the stem gets bigger during the day, and at night the other side gets bigger. Certain genes (基因) control this growth. They respond to the light and cause the flowers to turn to face the sun.Scientists have found that young sunflowers that follow the sun have more biomass (生物量) —that means that they get bigger. Adult plants facing the cast get warmer. That in turn attracts more bees and other insects that will help pollinate(授粉) the plant. This means that the plant can produce seeds and has a better chance of reproducing.78. The material above is a news report, isn’t it?79. What do sunflowers usually do during the day?80. Why do both sunflowers and human beings depend on the daily rhythms of the day and night?81. When do the young sunflower plants turn to face the east?82. According to scientists, what causes the movement and lack of movement of the sunflowers?83. Do you like to be young sunflowers or adult sunflowers? Give your reason(s).2022年上海市静安区中考二模英语试卷十三、阅读回答问题Police in America have stepped up their search for a fifteen-year-old boy who went missing three days ago in Dover, New Hampshire. This case has received great interest because it is said that aliens visited when the boy disappeared.Justin Foster, a high school student, was last seen on Friday night. That evening at 8 p.m., Justin’sfriends called him to play baseball. Witnesses (目击者) say they saw Justin walking towards his house at 10:45 p.m. Justin’s sister, Kelly, says she h eard her brother return home at about 11 p.m., but she didn’t see him with her own eyes.“I was on bed at that time. Suddenly I was woken up at midnight by a bright light outside my window.” Kelly said.“I pulled back the curtains and saw a large spaceship flying outside. It had blue lights all around it. Standing inside were lots of aliens. I was frightened!”Kelly said that the spaceship then moved towards her brother’s bedroom. “There was a flash of light and I heard Justin shout, and then the UFO just d isappeared. I’m sure the aliens took him away.”Kelly then ran and woke up her mother. However, Mrs. Foster thought that Kelly was having a bad dream, so she sent her back to bed. Mr. Foster was not home that night. When Justin did not show up for lunch the next day, Mrs. Foster became worried and told her husband to call the police.Some people in Dover also say that they saw aliens that night. “It’s happened to me!” said Mrs. Smith. “The aliens took me aboard the UFO for research. Luckily, they sent me home without any injuries. The whole experience was terrible!I haven’t been sleeping well since I returned home. I think Justin was taken away by them, too.”When asked about whether Justin was taken by aliens, Detective Peterson, who has taken charge of the case, told reporters. “Sometimes people make up stories. There’s really no hard proof that aliens took him. So we are looking into other possibilities as well. We will not give up until we find out what happened.”58．The case has received great interest, hasn’t it?________________________________________________________________________59．What time was Justin last seen on Friday night?________________________________________________________________________60．Where did Justin disappear according to Kelly?________________________________________________________________________61．What did Mrs. Foster think of Kelly’s words at first?________________________________________________________________________62．Who else was taken away by the aliens?________________________________________________________________________63．What kind of person was Detective Peterson?

Here, the students do the teaching.“This is a summer squash,” one student explained to a shopper. “This is an Armenian cucumber.”“It’s technically a melon,” his classmate said.All the students were working at the outdoor market in 2019. They were selling food they grew themselves. The pride they felt was clear.All these young gardeners are part of their school district's Outdoor Garden Classroom Program. Students from more than 100 schools around Las Vegas have their own gardens. There they get their hands dirty while they learn. Twice a year, they also harvest and sell their “schoolwork” at the Giant Student Farmers' Market. It is known to b e the largest student-run farmers’ market in the country.The program has grown since it began in 2013. Students work in teams with the support of their teachers. They take responsibility for all the different steps. Team members research what can grow in their climate. Then they discuss and plan their garden beds. They plant seeds, pluck weeds（除草）, and water their crops. Some schools also have small orchards of fruit trees.When the time is ripe, students harvest the fruits (and vegetables) of their labors. The produce is then prepared for eating or selling. Students manage the business end, too. They handle the money at the farmers’ market. They also plan how to spend the money they make. All earnings are plowed back（再投资）into the gardening program. Sometimes students carry some of the harvest home to share with their families.School gardens also provide food for thought in classrooms. Science lessons may cover the biology of plants. Students study the nutrition of the foods they grow. Maths and measurements become tools for planning garden fields. In fact, studies have shown that garden programs help improve student achievement.The Outdoor Garden Classroom Program has also built relationships with the surrounding community. Local volunteers visit schools to share their expert knowledge. Business leaders teach students about managing a business. Schools even invite area chefs（厨师）to show simple recipes made with school-grown ingredients.From planning and planting to harvest and market, school gardens offer valuable learning experiences as well as fun.Young gardeners get a chance to practice skills that will serve them all their lives.78.The Giant Student Farmers’ Market is the largest student -run farmers’ market in the country, isn’t it?79.When was the Outdoor Garden Classroom Program created?80.How did the students feel when they worked at the outdoor market?81.What’s the first step students do in this program?82.Who helps the students in this program?83.What can the students learn from Outdoor Garden Classroom Program?(List at least 3 points)答案：2023年上海市静安区中考二模英语试卷78.

People are so used to electric lights, radios, televisions and telephones that it is hard to 36 what life would be like without them.

As the heart starts to 40 , it sends out its records, which form an electrocardiogram (心电图). The brain, too, sends out brain waves of electricity. An electroencephalogram helps a doctor to tell how 41 the brain is working. The electric waves are extremely small. They are so small that sensitive machines are needed.

Choose the best answer (根据以下内容，选择最恰当的答案) (12分)Robot fools humansThe idea that robots could one day be our friends has been around for a long time but until now they have always seemed more machine than person. A new study by a researcher at the Italian Institute of Technology has found that in fact it’s possible for robots to fool us here and there, they are just less perfect than human. Inspired by the Turing Test, Agnieszka Wykowska came up with an experiment using a child-sized human-like robot called iCub. Sitting in front of a screen, the people in the test were asked to press a button when a green box appeared on the screen, however, iCub only responded to red boxes Wykowska programmed the robot to take different lengths of time to respond, just like a person would. Afterwards, the humans were asked to judge whether they had been competing with a machine or a person according to the time of the buttions being pressed - and they couldn’t tell. Wykowska believes that making robots have more human responses is the key to making better robots and creating more trust between humans and robots.In another study with iCub, the robot and a human watched special videos of animals. In the first set of tests, iCub greeted the person, asked for his name and kept eye contact with its camera “eyes”. It made comments about the videos, laughed and showed emotions (情感). In the second experiment, however, iCub did not communicate with human and just made machine-like noises. The researchers found that people believe that the more human iCub is, the more it has its own thoughts and desires. The team now wants to know if people can communicate with robots that do not look human but that still show human-like actions. The researchers plan to repeat the experiments, using robots of different shapes and sizes, to see how people give their responses.59.

Before we started on our road trip, we packed up the car withsnacks, water, and music. Thankfully, we also packed our GPS. A fewhours into the trip, we took a wrong turn. But our trusty GPS pulled up amap of the area and got us back on track in no time. It made me wonder：Who creates maps in the first place After some searching online. I learned that the people responsible for mapping out roads, mountains, oceans, and other places around the world are called cartographers. I did some reading about the career. Here's what I found：What does a cartographer doCartographers, also called mapmakers, study and interpret（诠释）geographic information. They use this information to make detailed maps of places around the globe. Some of these maps are digital. They are often used in GPS systems.Other maps are printed in books. To do their work, cartographers put together information from many different places.They also use ground surveys. Some do ground surveys themselves. Most cartographers, however, rely on surveyors for this important information. Surveyors collect information for mapmaking. They measure land, air space, and water areas.What does it take to be a cartographerMost cartographers have a bachelor's（学士）degree. The degree might be in cartography, geography, or something similar. Students who are interested in becoming cartographers should learn as much as they can about geography. It also helps to take courses in maths and computer science.With the rise of computer-based tools such as GPS systems, cartographers need stronger computer skills than they did in the past.How much do cartographers make？The average yearly salary for cartographers is ＄54，000. The lowest 10 percent earns less than ＄32，000. The top 10 percent earns more than ＄92，000.32.________In the U.S.，job opportunities for cartographers are expected to grow. This is due to the increasing use of maps in the armed forces. Also, digital maps have increasingly become a main part of many GPS systems and Web sites.Based on what I've read about cartographers, I'd say that their work is very important to a lot of people. Next time a map keeps me from getting lost, I'll be sure to thank acartographer!（1）In Para 1，the author included his experience in order to ______ .A. prove that a GPS is only needed when driving to another placeB. show that it is important to pack snacks for a tripC. provide a reason why a mapmaker's work is importantD. show that the GPS is not always reliable （2）The author talked about cartographersfrom ______ aspects. A. three B. four C. five D. six . （3）Surveyors can do all thesefollowing things except ______ .

Every year, her salary increases by ＄1，500. If shecontinues in this position, her salary will be ______ for her 12 year of work. A. of the lowest 10 percent B. of the top 10 percent C. of average D. below average （5）What best fits the blank？______ A. Will more cartographers be needed？B. Will thecartographers be replaced by robots？C. Why is it hard for cartographers to find jobs？D. Why do cartographers make different maps33.The article would be most useful as a source for a student research project on ______ .A. influential jobs for computermenB. career possibilities for people who dislike mathsC. famous explorers and mapmakersD. career choosing for people interested in geographyH1Bored No More Most people are spending their time at home these days.Are you（1）______ things to do？Well, we've put together a guideto some fun, at-home activities.

The produce is then prepared for eating or selling. Students manage the business end, too.They handle the money at the farmers' market. They also plan how to spend the money they make.

shadows"is a popular saying.It encourages people to make the best of a situation，to see the"bright side"of things.It calls attention to the way sunflowers follow the sun during the day.People have known about this phenomenon（现象）for a long time.Recently scientists have discovered how this works.They now why sunflowers keep their"faces"to the sunshine.Sunflowers move and respond to their environment.These flowers actually face the sun as it rises in the east and follow it as it moves across the sky until it sets in the west.Just like people，these flowers depend on the daily rhythms（节奏）of the day and night.Both the sunflowers and human beings wake up in the morning，follow the sun all day and then rest at night.During the day，young sunflower plants track the sun from east to west.The green flower head turns towards the sun.At night，the young plants turn east，waiting for the sun to rise in the morning.Adult sunflowers don't move.Once the flower is open，it faces only east.Scientists have discovered that this movement and lack of movement has to do with uneven（不均匀的）growth in the plant stems.One side of the stem gets bigger during the day，and at night the other side getsbigger.Certain genes（基因）control this growth.They respond to the light and cause the flowers to turn to face the sun.Scientists have found that young sunflowers that follow the sun have more biomass（生物量）--that means that they get bigger.Adult plants facing the east get warmer.That in turn attracts more bees andother insects that will help pollinate（授粉）the plant.This means that the plant can produce seeds and has a better chance of reproducing.(1) The material above is a news report，isn't it？______(2) What do sunflowers usually do during the day？______(3) Why do both sunflowers and human beings depend on the daily rhythms of the day and night？______(4) When do the young sunflower plants turn to face the east？______(5) According to scientists，what causes the movement and lack of movement of the sunflowers？______(6) Do you like to be young sunflowers or adult sunflowers？Give your reason（s）.______五、选词填空-短文（本大题共2小题，共8.0分）29.A.recognizeB.secretsC.imagineD.crazyE.silentThe modern
