阅读理解填词(五) 人物故事+环境保护+社会热点A [2020·原创题]Technology is changing how we studyHave you ever thought about what school will be like in the future? Will you study with an iPad or a computer at home? I think we will. The way we study is already 1.c even now. High-tech equipment(设备) is helping us learn.This semester is very important for us because we are almost in Grade 9.It’s very bad for us to miss classes, 2.e for just one day. My best friend Tom, however, got mumps(腮腺炎) two weeks ago. Our school doctor said it is 3.a infectious (传染的) disease, so Tom couldn’t go to school for a week. When he learned this, he was very 4.w about his studies. Later, Tom and my friends got an idea—to take classes by using an iPad!We prepared an iPad to 5.c Tom with. We put it on the computer desk in our class. Then we started a video call to Tom 6.t WeChat. We set the camera for Tom so he could see the classroom. He was able to see the classroom. He was able to see 7.e on the blackboard, as well as our teacher, through the iPad. He could take class at home just like he was in the classroom with us!He could also answer 8.q . This made us laugh at first, 9.s it was new and strange for him to take class this way. But we got used to it. I 10.r that technology can change our studies for the better.BChina gets even greenerGlobal warming is a big problem that we have to stop. One of the 1.b things we can do is to plant more trees. Trees can take in carbon dioxide(二氧化碳) in the air and 2.s global warming.According to a new report, China is doing a great job of “greening” the world.A team of scientists at Boston University has been working with NASA to study Earth’s green vegetation(植被). They used a special NASA camera and found that global leaf area has increased by 5 percent since the 3.e 2000s.And China was responsible for 25 percent of that gain, according to the 4.s . T hat’s about one-quarter of the size of the entire Amazonrainforest.The growth 5.m came from China’s forest protection(保护) programs, NASA said.For example, since 1962, China has been planting trees in Saihanba in Hebei Province. It was once a desert. But now, China has turned the 6.a into the country’s largest man-made forest.The Chinese public has 7.a joined in these efforts. Ant Forest, a feature(功能) in the Alipay app, gives users points for doing eco-friendly things such as walking and going paperless in the office. Users can then use these 8.p to water and grow their own virtual 9.t . When the virtual trees are big enough, Ant Forest will plant real trees 10.s in the world. More than 55 million trees have been planted in this way.C [2020·原创题]Network of the futureYou might have noticed that sometimes, when you’re playing mobile games or taking a video call, the picture suddenly freezes(卡顿) because the network 1.s is too slow. When you try to download a movie on your phone, it seems to take forever.These annoying things will soon become a thing of the past, as China just issued commercial licenses(发放商用牌照) for 5G networks on June 6.This means that China’s telecommunications companies will be able to 2.o 5G network speeds for mobile phone users.The “G” in “5G” stands for generation(代)(of mobile network technology ). 1G let us 3.t to each other, 2G let us send messages, 3G gave us mobile data and the Internet, and 4G made all of these things 4.f . So what will 5G bring?First of all, 5G is so fast that it will allow you to 5.d an entire HD movie in seconds. The delay(延迟)between sending and 6.r data will be shortened. Now, 4G takes about 100 to 200 milliseconds, while humans have a reaction time of about 200 to 300 milliseconds. But 5G will get the delay down to l millisecond or less, which is almost real-time.Because of this increase in speed, it will be 7.p to create and use new kinds of technology. Robots will be used to do operations because doctors will be able to control them from somewhere 8.e without any delay. Self-driving cars will be able to drive more safely because they can smoothly communicate with each other, traffic lights and road sensors(传感器).5G also makes the Internet of things(IoT, 物联网) possible. IoT is a large network that connects nearly everything. For example, your toaster might be able to automatically(自动) start making yourbreakfast after your alarm clock 9.r . And your sprinkler could know when to water your grass by sensing the air.All in all, 5G will shape 10.e type of technology that it touches. And you won’t have to wait too long for that to happen.【参考答案】A [主旨大意]本文是一篇记叙文。

阅读理解填词(一) 人物故事+说明介绍+观点态度AThere are many different methods for studying languages and learning new words. One man has come up with his own 1.w to understand the meanings of words—through rhyming(押韵). He uses words 2.t end with the same sound or a similar sound.Chris Strolin, an old man 3.f America, is working on an English language dictionary completely made up of limericks. A limerick is a short 4.p that has five lines that rhyme.Strolin says the idea for his dictionary started out as a joke when he 5.i it to some of his language-loving friends. His way was to use limericks.In 2004, he 6.d to start his own limerick dictionary online. He called it The Omnificent English Dictionary in Limerick Form. He started out with a limerick explanation of the word “a”. From there, he just kept going.Since the work is not 7.e , Strolin invited others to help come up with and add their own limericks to the dictionary. So far, 1,000 people have given their ideas. To date, more than 97,000 rhyming definitions(释义) have been created, with the number expected to 8.r 100,000 this year.The dictionary itself will be growing for many years to come. Strolin said his dictionary would not be 9.f finished until 2076.He said he hoped his grandchildren, or maybe 10.t children, would take over the work and finish it.B [2020·原创题]From deserts and beaches to playgrounds, sand is a common sight. But you might not know that sand is also a 1.u resource.Sand is the second most-used resource in the world after water, the BBC reported. 2.H , the UN said that sand is not limitless and that we might be running out of it.Sand is made up of very small 3.p of rock, soil and minerals(矿物质). It can take tens of thousands of years to form. But now we are using sand more quickly 4.t it is being formed. According to the BBC, we use about 15 billion tons of sand every year to build houses, roads and 5.o things. That’s enough to build a 20-meter-high by 20-meter-wide wall around the equator(赤道) every year.People also put sand in the sea to make new 6.i . Singapore, for example, is now 20 percent 7.b than it was in 1965.Palm islands are three large man-made islands in Dubai, United Arab Emirates. They took 94 million cubic meters of sand to build.If people 8.k using this much sand, it will run out in many places. For example, Vietnammay run out of construction(建造) sand by 2020, Live Science noted.Since people need so much sand, they are trying to mine(开采) more of it. But this is bad forthe 9.e . Mining sand may cause beaches to disappear and more floods to happen in places10.c to the sea. Also, this may affect the habitats(栖息地) of many plants and animals.COur lives are flying byPaper cups, plastic bags and old newspapers. There are so many single-use products that we throw 1.a after using only once.But the 2.i of single-use is about more than just plastic and paper. According to newswebsite Quartz, we are now living in a “throw-away society”. Single-use has become a natural wayof life and can be seen 3.a everywhere.Every day, we see new memes(表情包) stories and internet slang(网络俚语) on social media. Withso many of them 4.c out all the time, the lifespan(寿命) of each becomes short—they become“single-use online products”. This 5.a means social media users are always searching forthe next big thing.You may 6.f frustrated when trying to keep up with these memes and slang, but you justcannot help 7.b keep scrolling(滚屏). The stream is endless—no matter whether it’s WeChat Moments(朋友圈), Sina Weibo or Facebook.While you view single-use content online, you also produce it as well. Since 2017 WeChat Momentshas allowed users to make only the last three days of their posts viewable. This encourages peopleto 8.s without thinking too much.Since it doesn’t take too much time and energy to 9.c anymore, we now even have disposable(用后即扔的) friendships, according to a story in Fast Company.A single-use way of life may give you quick pleasure. But without any deep thought behind it,the 10.p may not last for long. It only keeps us coming back for more. Maybe weneed to slow down and enjoy a more thoughtful way of life.【参考答案】A [主旨大意] 本文是一篇记叙文。

He swept aside the dirty surface of water and saw a group of grey fish.The boy tried to 2 one of these talking fish. But when he put his arm into the water, his arm turned grey. As this happened, a huge 3 entered into him. He felt just like the earth on his arm: dirty and polluted.He 4 pulled his arm out of the water and ran away from that place. But the arm stayed grey, and the boy continued feeling sad. He tried many times to cheer himself up, but 5 worked. He was worried his arm would stay grey forever. Luckily, one day he 6 that if he made the earth happy, then the happiness would be in turn passed back to him 7 the earth on his arm.From then on, he set about doing something helpful for the countryside. He 8 the plants and kept the water from being polluted, and he encouraged others to do the same. He was so successful that his hand started to recover its 9 colour. When the grey finally disappeared, he started feeling happy again, and he decided to go and visit the fountain. When he was still on the way to the fountain, he could hear the fish 10 happily.

The experience was not as romantic as you imagine.”Facing the ban of the U.S.,Huawei is growing.Huawei’s smartphone sales around the world rose 50 percent compared to a year earlier in the first three months of 2019.At the same time,sales from both Samsung and Apple fell.So far,Huaw ei has grown into the world’s largest telecommunications equipment(电信设备)supplier,selling in 170 countries!It may beat Samsung as the largest smartphone maker in the near future.11.Which company is the largest supplier of 5G in the world?

( )A.Huawei will grow slowly.B.Huawei is full of hope.C.Huawei’s sales will be doubled.D.Huawei is the largest smartphone maker.Passage 2Is memory important to you? How often do you think you use yours? Actually, you use it every moment of every day. You remember who you are, where you live, and what you are doing. Without memory, you could not survive!There are three kinds of memory: sense memory, working memory, and long-term memory. Think of them as three connected rooms in which you store different kinds of memories.The first kind of memory is sense memory. Everything you are sensing right now is stored here. Sense memories last only a few seconds. They connect one moment to the next.But they are quickly forgotten.You keep a few things in working memory. These are memories you need for what you are doing. Suppose you look up a friend’s telephone number in the phone book. You’ll probably remember the number for a little while when you pay full attention to it. But if you get distracted, you might quickly forget it. A memory usually stays in your working memory for just a few days at most. And only a small number of items(项目) fit into working memory at any given time.Memories you want to keep for a long time go into your long-term memory.They can stay with you all your life. In long-term memory, you can store a huge number of items. Can you remember how to play your favorite game? If so, you are bringing up memories that are stored in your long-term memory. Sometimes, people have trouble finding a particular long-term memory. Have you ever tried to remember a familiar name or fact? When this happens, people somet imes say the information is “on the tipof the tongue(舌尖)”.Learning and remembering are connected. The trick to remembering something is learning it well in the first place. That way, you can store what you’ve learned in your long-term memory. One way to improve your memory is by putting information into a form(形式)that’s easy to remember.根据上文内容判断正(T)误(F)。

He 1 ordered three pints of beers and sat in the back of the room, drinking a sip(口) out of each one in turn. 2 he finished all three, he came back to the bar and asked for three more. One day,the bartender(酒保) asked him,“Why do you buy three pints a 3 ? Wh y not a pint?”The Irishman replied,“Well,you see,I have two brothers. One is in America,the other in Australia,and I’m here in Dublin. When we all left home,we promised that we’d drink this way to remember the days when we 4 drank together.” The bartende r agreed that this was a 5 custom, and left it there.The Irishman 6 to the bar every day and always drank the same way:he ordered three pints and drank the three pints 7 taking drinks from each of them in turn. One day,he came in and ordered two pints. All the other people in the bar noticed and fell into 8 . When he came back to the bar for the 9 round, the bartender said,“I am really sorry to say so,but I want to offer my condolences(慰问) to your family.” The Irishman looked puzzled for a mome nt,then he laughed.“Oh,no,” he said.“Everyone is fine.

Taking a holiday on the moon today is as easy as taking a holiday in Europe in the 2010’s. At a number of scenic spots(风景胜地) on the moon, many hotels have been built. In order that everyone can enjoy the beautiful scenery on the moon, every room has at least one picture window. Everything imaginable is provided for entertainment of the young and old.What are people eating now? People are still eating food. But a lot of food now comes in pill form, and the food that goes into the pill comes mainly from green plants.Because people in the world today are much more than those about fifty years ago, most of the earth’s surface has to be filled. The deserts are irrigated with water and crops are no longer eaten by pests(害虫). The harvest is always good. Farming, of course, is very highly developed. Very few people have to work on the farms. It is possible to run the farms by just using a few computers.People are now largely vegetarians, and they eat only bread, vegetables, fruit and so on and they don’t eat meat or fish. You see, as the numb er of people increases, the number of animals decreases. So people have to be vegetarians. We are healthier both in our bodies and in our minds, and we know how to deal with all kinds of illnesses. No one has to be ill any more.11.What will be on the moon in 2060 according to the passage? ( )A.Many green plants.B.Many wild animals.C.Many interesting places.D.Many children and students.12.What’s the meaning of the underlined word “irrigated”?()A.冲刷B.灌溉C.淹没D.排泄13.Which of the following is TRUE? ( )A.People only eat food in pill form.B.People don’t have any crops.C.People run the farms by using high technology.D.The harvest is sometimes good.14.Why do people have to be vegetarians in 2060? ( )A.Because they want to be healthier.B.Because vegetables can make the patients well.C.Because there will be more people and fewer animals.D.Because eating vegetables is good for our minds.15.What attitude does the writer have about the future life? ( )A.He feels pretty hopeful about the future.B.He is not very satisfied with some things of the future.C.He seems really sad about what will happen in the future.D.He is afraid of the future life.Passage 2Now, it seems that artificial intelligence(人工智能) is becoming more and more popular in our life, and it has greatly influenced the ways we live, work and play. Can you imagine that you can play table tennis with a robot one day?Recently, a scientist has invented a special robot that can be a table tennis coach. That means people can practice table tennis not only with humans but also with a robot.Named Forpheus, the smart table tennis robot is quite special. It can study the movements of human players and the speeds of the ball. In this way, it can exactly judge(判断) the pl ayers’ skill levels(水平). Then it uses the information to change the ways to play. If the players are just beginners, Forpheus will play in a slow and easy way, but if the players are better ones, the robot will play in a faster and more difficult way. What’s more, while playing, it encourages players to try their best with words like “Good job!”, “Come on!” and so on. At the same time, it gives some good advice to improve their skills. So it is both a good partner and a clever coach.Science and technolog y is developing quickly these days and it’s hard to imagine what will happen in the future. “In the next 20 years, it will be possible that one robot teaches another to play table tennis or even invents another one!” Takuoya, the inventor of the robot, sai d.根据上文内容判断正(T)误(F)。

By the time we got home and he had a quick dinner and shower, it was 10:30—an hour and a half later than a child who gets up at 6:30 should be going to bed. We love baseball. My son is having fun, getting exercise, and learning patience, teamwork and sports spirit. But the truth is that the game also influences his sleep.As parents, we want good things for our children. We want them to be healthy both in body and in mind. To this end, we look for ways to help our kids grow and develop. We help them with their homework. We sign them up for dance, soccer and baseball. We encourage our kids to take honors courses(培优课程)or to have after-school jobs. And we praise them for hard-earned success and achievements.However, the irony is that all of these activities and responsibilities that we are giving our children to make their lives colourful could be badly influencing their health and taking happiness away. Activities, responsibilities, and goals are good. But if we want our kids to realize their full physical, learning and social ability, sleep is important. We have to start taking sleep seriously.Parents make bedtime routines and carry out strict rules about night time. But in fact,these measures aren’t enough because getting our kids enough sleep isn’t just about carrying out stricter bedtime. It actually requires more than that. In order to ensure our kids get the sleep they need, both parents and schools should make an effort.11.From the passage we kno w the writer’s son .( )A.isn’t good at sportsB.wastes time every nightC.can’t get enough sleepD.always hangs out with friends12.What does the underlined word “irony” mean in Chinese?

( )A.Advice on how to sleep well.B.Ways of changing kids’ education.C.The importance of sleeping well.D.Measures parents and schools should take.Passage 2Last fall I walked with a friend in my hometown.He was regarded as the most stupid among my childhood playmates, but he has now been Number One in an enterprise(企业).When we came to a fork, a blind man walked from another direction. Testing the road with his bamboo pole, the blind man was walking very slowly towards the road we were going in.I talked with my friend as we were walking.I told him about my five job-hoppings(换工作) within two years and the experiences I was still going through in the plight(困境) now.My friend nodded and smiled, but he kept silent all along. After a while, I occasionally looked back and found the blind man had disappeared.“Where is the blind man?” I asked.“He has walked so far!” said my friend with a smile.“How can a blind man walk much faster than us?It’s strange!” I exclaimed(惊叫).“How impossible? We looked in all directions and walked half-heartedly while he was walking whole-heartedly,” said my friend.I was shocked to hear this.What a simple but profound (深刻的) truth! Just think, if I had learneda little spirit of the blind man walking, how could I be down and out now?Although the scene has passed for one year, what my friend said keeps lingering in my ears.根据上文内容判断正(T)误(F)。

In the early 1980s, “Where is the beef?” was one of 4 expressions in the United States. It seemed as if everyone was using it at that time.We all know “McDonald’s” was famous for a hamburger made 5 beef. 6 some businessmen saw it, they opened their own hamburger restaurants. One company called. “Wendy’s” said its hamburgers were bi gger than the ones sold by McDonald’s or 7 . The company began to use the expression “Where is the beef?” to make people 8 that Wendy’s hamburgers were the biggest. The television showed three old women eating hamburgers. The bread 9 covered the meat was very big, but inside there was only a bit of meat. One of the women said she would not eat a hamburger with such a little piece of beef. “Where is the beef?” She shouted in a funny way. The idea for Wendy’s hamburger restaurant was a 10 .

Unfortunately, this is common.When people move to new countries,they often leave their own customs and mother language behind.This is a mistake because there are many benefits to know more than one language.One advantage of speaking more than one language is that you can communicate with more people around the world.You don’t have to depend on others to talk for you, so you are more independent.People who know only one language must use others to help them communicate.Furthermore,speaking the second language also allows people to experience other cultures and customs more effectively.Local expressions,vocabulary,and even jokes can have a powerful effect on a person’s understanding of other cultures.Knowing more than one language increases your knowledge.Finally,having more multi-language speakers improves relationships between countries. If people from different countries can communicate well,the world can become closer.Countries will then have more respect for each other and better understand each other’s problems.The benefits of knowing more than one language are clear.In fact,there are no disadvantages. It is very sad that many people don’t try to learn another language.It’s even worse when people let themselves forget their mother language and become silenced.11.W hat’s the passage mainly about?( )A.The benefits of learning other languages.B.The reasons why people come to America.C.The importance of learning English.D.How to learn another language.12.The passage begins with the experience of Vieira family in order to .

Don’t you have any sense of duty?”The doctor smiled and said, “I’m sorry. I wasn’t in the hospital and I came as fast as I could after receiving the call and now, I wish you’d calm down so that I can do my work.”“Calm down?! What if your son was in this room right now? Would you calm down? If your own son dies while waiting for a doctor, then what will you do?” said the father angrily. The doctor smiled again and replied, “We wil l do our best and you should also pray(祈祷) for your son’s healthy life.”The surgery took some hours after which the doctor went out happily,“Thank goodness! Your sonis saved!” And without waiting for the father’s reply he carried on his way running by saying, “If you have any questions, ask the nurse.”“Couldn’t he wait some minutes so that I can ask about my son’s state?” shouted the father when seeing the nurse minutes after the doctor left.The nurse answered, tears coming down her face, “His son died yesterday in a road accident.

These days, many people are facing the stress in the use of mobile phones. They reach for their mobile phones when they wake up in the morning, and keep checking their social media apps to get the latest updates(更新).A report from Google shows that 70 percent of people don’t want to spend much time on their phones. This is why Google introduced an app called Dashboard for the new Android operating system(安卓操作系统). This new app includes functions(功能) that help users manage the time. For example, users can see how many times they’ve unlocked their phones, how many times they’ve checked their social media apps, and how much time they spend on each app every day.Once the users see this information, they’ll be able to make some changes. With the App Timer(计时) function, users can set a time limit for how long they can use each app for every day. After they’ve hit the limit, they won’t be able to use the app un til the next day. And with another function, the app gets incoming calls silent when the user puts the phone face down.If people truly want to make full use of their free time instead of losing hours on their phones, these new functions are just one way of doing that.After all, who needs to use an app to stop you from using other apps? The easiest answer would be just to use your willpower.11.Where does the users’ stress come from?

It seems she’s never tired of talking. She talks here and there, day and night. More seriously, I feel like we don’t have much in common. She doesn’t always understand what I’m trying to say. What should I do?Yours,Jim Dear Jim,I know how you feel. It’s not easy being your age. And it’s not easy being a mother, either. It’s common for kids to have trouble talking with parents, and talkative mothers are not new to teenagers. But remember,she’s nagging(唠叨)you because she just wants what’s best for you. Talking is her way to show love and care. And she also wants to know more about you. After a day’s work, she’s tired too. But she will never be tired of caring about you. Kids should learn to understand and care about parents.In my opinion, it’s helpful to share school life with her. Then, you talk and she listens. Doing some housework together with her is another good way for you two to know each other better. And if possible, often tell her your feelings about the things around you. Always keep in mind: be polite and patient.Yours,Dr.Green根据上文内容判断正(T)误(F)。

It also helps to stop digestion(消化) problems.But for many Western people, they drink cold water even in 5 .

To me, if it zips(拉上), it fits. My mom, however, usually tells me I need a bigger size.When I was a teenager, I wanted to dress like my friends, but my body size made it impossible. When Mom told me something didn’t suit me, or I needed a bigger size, a ll I heard was that my body was wrong.To avoid arguments, we stopped going shopping together. This continued until I got engaged(订婚) last year and needed to buy some clothes. When I tried on a blouse, my mother looked at me, and I knew what was coming. “You need a bigger size,” she said.There was no bigger size. I tried to hold back my tears. Maybe I could buy it alone, of course, but my mom is my favourite person to hang out with. The idea of looking for a wedding dress without her seemed just as scary as taking her with me.And so the day came. As I tried on a simple white dress, I saw tears in my mom’s eyes. “You look beautiful!”she told me. Nothing could have shocked me more.This one didn’t zip up at the back and I did actually need a bigger size, but my mother didn’t say that. She just told me how beautiful I looked. In that moment, all the arguments in the past ended. We didn’t buy a dress that day. We decided to see more.A few weeks later, we found the perfect dress. We both loved it as soon as I put it on.And during those few weeks, Mom and I also found the perfect fit for our shopping relationship.11.What does the writer want to show in the first two paragraphs?

I scream! We all scream for ic e cream!” For most Americans, the phrase “ice cream” brings out memories or summer. Ice cream is the oldest-fashioned treat, and it has an ancient history.The emperors of the Tang Dynasty (618—907 AD) are believed to have been the first to eat “a frozen milk-like dessert”, which was made with milk and flour. Later, camphor(樟脑) was added to improve the taste.In Medieval Times, Arabs enjoyed an ice drink called sherbet(冰冻果子露). This cold drink often went with fruits. Over time, the drink became popular with the European upper class. Italians are said to have learned this drink-making skill, with the French following soon after. The 17th century saw ice drinks made into frozen desserts. With sugar added, sorbet(雪酪) was created. Antonio Latini (1632—1692) is the first person to create a milk-based sorbet, which is considered as the first “official” ice cream.It is impossible to say how exactly ice cream reached America, but it probably arrived with European settlers in the early 1700s. In 1790, the first ice cream store opened in New York. During the summer of the same year, our first president, George Washington, is said to have spent $200 to satisfy his thirst for the lovely treat.Ice cream has become one of the most popular desserts in America. Apple pie might be the most traditionally American dessert, but what is served as its most popular close friend? Vanilla(香草) ice cream, of course! This creamy iced treat has strongly planted itself in the hearts of foodies across America.16.Why does the writer mention the rhyme at the beginning of the passage? ( )A.To explain why ice cream is popular.B.To support his view.C.To introduce the topic.D.To advertise ice cream.17.What does the underlined word “dessert” mean in Chinese?( )A.沙漠B.甜点C.果冻D.糖果18.In which order did ice cream develop?
