The Popsicle Cold weather led to a popular and delicious invention-the Popsicle. Frank Epperson was just 11 when he created his first Popsicle by chance. He made himself a drink and left his glass outside in the evening. The next morning, it turned to ice with the stir（搅拌） stick still in the glass. And the first Popsicle was born. The trampoline In a funny show, George Nissen noticed that players landed in a net. He thought it would be more interesting to continue bouncing（弹跳）instead. So at 16, he made the first trampoline, a bouncy “net”. Trampolines today are great for both fun and exercise. BEACON Hannah Herbst knew people in Ethiopia had no electricity（电）to use after receiving a letter from her Ethiopian pen friend. So at the age of 14, she invented BEACON. It could make electricity by using sea water. She hopes it will help more people like her friend. Braille Louis Braille a blind boy, tried to read by moving his fingers across raised letters, but that was very difficult. At 12, Louis learned about a communication method by reading raised dots（点） silently with fingers. He changed it from 12 raised dots to just six and created Braille.

D At night, look up at the sky. How many stars do you see? If you live in the country, bright stars will fill the sky. If you live in the city, on the other hand, you might not see any stars. What’s happening? Bright lights from the city are lighting the sky, making the stars unseen. This is light pollution. Light can also come into city homes, like an uninvited guest. Sometimes, a visitor to a big city can’t sleep because of the bright sign outside his or her window. Darkness helps us sleep. Without darkness, we lie awake and lose sleep, which may lead to serious health problems. Living things need darkness. It’s part of the natural 24-hour cycle. Trees and plants that are too close to artificial light grow in strange ways and die quickly. Animals become puzzled（困惑的）when light and dark are changed. For example, night animals might think it’s day when it’s actually night. Finally, using too many lights wastes energy and money. The huge lights for all-night parking lots are too bright and unnecessary. Every city spends millions of dollars to light its thousands of buildings and streets, and much of this lighting is just to make the city look beautiful, rather than to serve a certain purpose. True, we feel safer in the light, but our eyes are able to see a little in darkness. And we don’t need to light the whole city just to create a beautiful night view. We should try to turn the lights off to save the earth and all the living things from its pollution. 47. What’s the main idea of the passage? A. Living things need darkness. B. Light pollution is around us. C. How to avoid light pollution. D. Lights are uninvited guests. 48. The underlined word “artificial” in Paragraph 3 probably means________. A. real B. natural C. weak D. man-made 49. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage? A. It’s unnecessary to use huge light for all-night parking lots. B. We can’t see any stars in the sky in the city at night. C. Visitors to a big city lie awake and lose sleep because of darkness. D. Trees and plants grow strangely and die quickly in the day. 【答案】47. B 48. D 49. A 【解析】 本文是一篇说明文，向我们介绍了光污染问题，作者建议我们应该试着关灯，以拯救地球和所有的生物免受光污染。

【47题详解】 主旨大意题。分析全文内容可知，本文主要向我们介绍了光污染问题，故选B。

【48题详解】 词义猜测题。分析“Trees and plants that are too close to artificial light grow in strange ways and die quickly.Animals become puzzled（困惑的）when light and dark are changed. ”可知，离人造光太近的树木和植物会以奇怪的方式生长，然后很快死去。动物感到困惑的当光明与黑暗被改变了。根据light and dark are changed光明与黑暗被改变了。所以推测artificial的意思是“人造的”，故选D。

【49题详解】 推理判断题。根据“The huge lights for all-night parking lots are too bright and unnecessary.”可知，通宵停车场的大灯太亮，没有必要。故选A。

E Will humans someday live and work on Mars（火星）? Many scientists think so. In fact, they are already working on plans to turn Mars into a new Earth. Humans need three basic things to live: water to drink, air to breathe and food to eat. Because of the shortage of those above, it is impossible to live on Mars right now. Then how can we make Mars a right place for humans to live on? The answer is to change the environment of the planet so that it is similar to Earth’s. On Mars, the temperature is about —60℃. So one of the main purposes is to warm it up. One idea for warming Mars comes from a problem here on Earth ——climate change. Most scientists agree that Earth is becoming warmer because of increased levels of greenhouse gases（气体）in our atmosphere（大气）. We might create similar conditions on Mars by building factories that give off greenhouse gases. The gas will change the atmosphere on Mars. Rain will fall, and it may be possible to grow plants for food. There will be many difficulties in changing Mars. The program could take many centuries, and the cost will be high. We have some of the technology, such as the ability to create greenhouse gases, but not the money. Anyway, life on Mars is a real possibility for future people. 50. The writer writes this article to________. A. talk about living conditions on Mars at present B. talk about difficulties people meet with on Mars C. introduce plans to turn Mars into our future home D. introduce scientists’ discovery about our atmosphere 51. ________is the key to warming Mars. A. Rain B. Plant C. Money D. The greenhouse gas 52. What can be inferred（推断）from the passage? A. Money is one of the difficulties to hold back the program. B. Mars is the only planet for humans to live on in the future. C. It is possible for people to live on Mars in the near future. D. Technology can change Mars into a right place to live on now. 【答案】50. C 51. D 52. A 【解析】 【分析】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了如何将火星“地球化”，以及改造火星面临的困难。

【50题详解】 主旨大意题。根据“In fact, they are already working on plans to turn Mars into a new Earth.”及全文可知，作者写这篇文章主要是为了介绍把火星“地球化”的计划。故选C。

【51题详解】 推理判断题。根据“Earth is becoming warmer because of increased levels of greenhouse gases in our atmosphere”及“We might create similar conditions on Mars by building factories that give off greenhouse gases”可知，地球中温室气体含量的增加使地球变暖，与之同理，科学家们认为在火星上投建排放温室气体的工厂也能使火星温度升高；
故温室气体是使火星温度升高的关键。故选D。

【52题详解】 推理判断题。根据“We have some of the technology, such as the ability to create greenhouse gases, but not the money.”可知，我们有使火星温度升高的技术，但没有钱支撑技术的实施；
故钱是阻碍将火星“地球化”的困难之一。故选A。

Scientists from Ohio State University found out that humans can actually make 21 different facial expressions after studying how people move their facial muscles (肌肉). The scientists took pictures of 230 volunteers making faces in response to different descriptions. These included phrases like “you just got some great unexpected news”, which produced a “happily surprised” reaction from volunteers. Others included “you smell a bad smell”, which caused “disgusted” faces. In total, around 5,000 pictures were taken of the volunteers. The scientists then studied similarities of these pictures. This helped them to define (定义) a facial expression. “That tells us that these 21 emotions are expressed in the same way by nearly everyone,” said Dr. Aleix Martinez to The Daily Telegraph. For example, to express surprise, 92 percent of volunteers widened their eyes and opened their mouths. And 99 percent raised their cheeks and smiled to show being happy. We are not always aware of our facial expressions, which can hold clues to how we really feel. So these results may have a big influence on medical treatment. If doctors were able to recognize more complex (复杂的) emotions, it would help doctors treat patients suffering from certain diseases. 40. How many facial expressions can human beings make according to the study? A. 6 B. 21 C. 27 D. 230 41. How do most people make a “surprised” face? A. By opening their eyes and mouths wide. B. By raising their cheeks. C. By covering their mouths with their hands. D. By laughing out loud. 42. In which order did the scientists do the experiment? a. Take pictures of the volunteers’ facial expressions. b. Compare the pictures to find similarities. c. Find 230 volunteers to take part in the experiment. A. a-b-c B. c-b-a C. a-c-b D. c-a-b 【答案】40. B 41. A 42. D 【解析】 【分析】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了科学家对于人们面部表情的研究。人类能做21种不同的面部表情，面部表情对医疗会产生很大影响。

D Smartphones, Poor Sight Look around and you’ll see people busy on their smartphones. Smartphones do make our lives easier. But have you ever thought about what they mean to your eyes? According to a study, half of British people own smartphones and they spend an average of two hours a day using them. There has been a 35% increase in the number of people in the UK who suffer from short-sightedness (近视) since smartphones were introduced there in 1997. Staring (盯) at smartphones screen for long time gives you dry eyes. When looking at something in the distance, your eyes automatically blink (自动眨眼) a certain number of times. However, when you look at things closer to your face, the blinking slows down. This reduces the amount of tears and causes discomfort in your eyes. Another bad habit is using smartphones in dark rooms before going to sleep. If you look at a bright screen while your pupils (瞳孔) become larger, too much light enters your eyes. This can do harm to the eyes and cause a disease called glaucoma (青光眼). While you’re probably not going to stop using your smartphone, there are a few things you can do to protect your eyes. Hold your phone at least 30 centimeters away from your eyes when using it. Take a break every hour and try the following: look at something at least five meters from you and then focus on the tip of your nose. Repeat this several times. It should reduce the discomfort in your eyes. 47. According to Paragraph 3, using smartphones improperly may cause ________. A. too many blinks B. dry eyes and glaucoma C. smaller pupils D. more tears in the eyes 48. The following things can help you protect your eyes EXCEPT ________. A. hold your phone at least 30 centimeters away B. look at something at least five meters from you and then focus on the tip of your nose C. take a break every hour D. sleep for at least 8 hours a day 49. This article is written to advise people ________. A. not to buy smartphones B. to stop using smartphones C. to spend much time on smartphones D. to use smartphones properly 【答案】47. B 48. D 49. D 【解析】 【分析】文章介绍了智能手机对我们的眼睛有很大的伤害，并对如何保护眼睛提出了建议。

2021年安徽省合肥市第四十二中学中考一模英语试卷 Ⅷ．阅读理解（共 20 小题；
每小题 2 分，满分 40 分） 阅读下列短文，从每小题所给的 A、B、C、D 四个选项中选出一个最佳选项。

A Every week. I get an allowance(零用钱) of ￥30 from my parents. I usually spend my money on magazines, music and movies. On Friday and Saturday nights I always go to the movies with my friends. My parents say I should get a part-time job. If I get one, I will buy a new MP5 player. He Zhong,13 I get an allowance of ￥40 every week from my parents. I also have some birthday money. I often spend my money on clothes, computer games and snacks. If I have more money after my next birthday, I will buy a new mobile phone. My cousin Wang Ting has a new mobile phone. It’s really cool. Wang Min,14 I get an allowance of ￥ 50 a week from my parents. I also walk dogs for my neighbors and get ￥30 every week. I spend some of my money on movies and books. I spend most of my money on my summer vacation. This summer I will go to Chongqing with my friend Zhu Lei. Zheng Bin,16 56. What does He Zhong usually spend his money on? A. Clothes. B. Music. C.

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 mothers who talk too much 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: you talk and she listens. Doing some housework together with her is another good way for you to know each other better. And if possible, often tell her your feelings about things around you. Always keep in mind: be polite and patient. 59. Who did Jim have trouble getting on with? Yours, Doctor Green A. His friend. B. His teacher. C. His parent. D. His classmate. 60. What does Dr. Green think of Jim’s problem? A. Usual. B. Surprising. C. Serious. D. Difficult. 61. How many suggestions does Doctor Green give Jim? A. One. B. Two. C. Three. D. Four. 62. What will Jim probably do after reading Dr. Green’s letter? A. He will study harder to make his teacher happy. B. He will do housework for his mother every day. C. He will keep silent when his mother is nagging him. D. He will often share school life with his mother and talk to her patiently. C Every time there is a serious disease outbreak( 爆 发 )somewhere in the world, city planners come up with new ideas to fight it. Pandemics( 流行病) have been shaping our cities for a long time. In 1854, for example, a cholera ( 霍 乱 )outbreak in London, UK led to the design of modern sewers(下水道).At that time, Londoners’ drinking water came from ground water. It was heavily polluted by waste water,and the sewer system separated the wastewater from the groundwater. This stopped the spread of cholera. “By sewering certain towns in England, today’s death rate( 死亡率)from pulmonary (肺部的) diseases alone was reduced by 50%.” George Pierson wrote in his book, The Separate System of Sewerage. During this year’s COVID-19 pandemic, an officer from Paris, Anne Hidalgo introduced a new idea―every neighborhood should have a mix of stores, homes, offices, and other important buildings. Every basic need should be just a 15-minute walk away. This would reduce crowding on public transport and prevent the spread of disease. 63. What do we know about the sewer system? A. It first appeared in Paris. B. It was designed by George Pierson. C. It reduced the death rate from cholera by 50%. D. It separated the wastewater from the groundwater. 64. Why did Anne Hidalgo introduce a new idea? A. To welcome more tourists. B. To prevent the spread of disease. C. To make the city more beautiful. D. To provide more jobs for the people. 65. What’s the best title for the test? A. Keeping our cities safe. B. Hoping for better cities. C. New ways to fight COVID - 19 pandemic. D. The Separate System of Sewerage. D When you think of the Arctic( 北 极 ), you imagine an icy land of pure white snow. Others imagine it as the last really clean place left on the earth. We have polluted the deepest oceans with plastic rubbish. And now it’s the Arctic’s turn. German scientists have recently found microplastics in Arctic snow. Microplastics are pieces of plastic smaller than 5 millimeters. Sadly, the scientists found 1,800 pieces of microplastics per liter of (每升) snow. How is plastic pollution reaching the Arctic? According to scientists, “It’s clear that most of the microplastics in the snow come from the air.” They fall off things made of plastic and are moved by the wind, just like dust. They mix with ice in the air and fall to the ground as snow. Finding these plastics in Arctic snow means that we may breathe them in. Are they bad for us? Scientists cannot answer this question for now, according to the WHO. We do know that our bodies cannot take in “large” pieces of microplastics. However, if the plastics are small enough, they can find ways into our bodies and stay there for a long time, which can be bad for our health. What’s more, earlier studies have shown that microplastics may contribute to lung cancer risk. Microplastics have also been found in rivers and oceans around the world. Earlier research has found that they flow over long distances and into our oceans, hurting ecosystems along the way. They start in our wastewater, then flow into rivers and out to the sea, where they are eaten by sea animals. If people then eat these animals, it means that we’re eating the plastic as well. 66. What can we learn about the Arctic from Paragraph 1? A. It is an icy land of pure white snow. B. It is a beautiful icy land with clean air. C. It has been polluted by plastic rubbish. D. It is the last really clean place left on earth. 67. What does the underlined word “contribute” mean in Chinese? A增加 B. 捐献 C. 造成 D. 降低 68. How does the writer end this text? A. By advising us to drink clean water. B. By asking people not to eat sea animals. C. By showing the beauty of the Arctic. D. By telling the seriousness of plastic pollution. E It＇s a hot time for Chinese language learning across the world, not only because of China＇s higher place in the world but also because of the increasing economic ( 经 济 的 ) and cultural connections between China and other countries. For example, the United Arab Emirates (UAE) plans to open Chinese language courses in 200 public primary and middle schools, so experienced Chinese teachers are needed. Other Chinese courses opened across the world show the increasing need for Chinese-speaking talent. Mandarin (普通话) became elective (选修的) foreign language in Russia＇s college entrance exam. Following English, German, French, and Spanish, Mandarin has become the fifth elective test subject for the exam. Spain has more than 40,000 people learning Chinese. Last year about 8,000 people took the Chinese Proficiency Test (HSK) exam. The number of people who took the test was the biggest, according to Xinhua News Agency. In the US, learning Chinese has been popular for many years and is now a popular choice for American children, especially those who were born in good families. The children begin to learn Chinese at an early age because their parents believe that learning Chinese will help them build successful international careers (职业). 69. Why is Chinese language learning so hot? A. Because many foreigners like China＇s culture. B. Because China has the highest position in the world. C. Because China helps a lot of countries to develop. D. Because China has more international influence around the world. 70. Which is the elective test subject in Russia? A. Australian B. Indian C. Japanese D. Mandarin 71. What can we know about Chinese learning around the world? A. The UAE needs experienced English teachers. B. All American children learn Chinese from an early age. C. About one fifth of the Spanish learning Chinese took the HSK in 2020. D. The Mandarin exam must be taken before going to Russia＇s colleges. 72. What’s the main idea of the text? A. More people in the UAE begin to learn Chinese. B. Chinese language learning is popular around the world. C. Some foreign countries want more Chinese teachers. D. Many American children are learning Chinese now. 【答案】 56- 58BAD 59- 62CACD 63- 65DBA 66- 68CAD 69- 72DDCB 2021年安徽省合肥市长丰县中考一模英语试题 Ⅷ.阅读理解（共20小题；
每小题2分，满分40分） 阅读下列短文，从每小题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出一个最佳选项。

A Great inventors like Leonardo da Vinci have influenced people’s lives with their inventions. But some surprising inventions were created by children like you, so why not try creating your own ones? The Popsicle Cold weather led to a popular and delicious invention—the Popsicle. Frank Epperson was just 11 when he created his first Popsicle by chance. He made himself drink and left his glass outside in the evening. The next morning, it turned to ice with the stick still in the glass. And the first Popsicle was born. The Trampoline In a funny show, George Nissen noticed that players landed in a net. He thought it would be more interesting to continue bouncing(弹跳) instead. So, at 16, he made the first trampoline, a bouncy “net”. Trampolines today are great for both fun and exercise. BEACON Hannah Herbst knew people in Ethiopia had no electricity(电) to use. So at the age of 14, she invented BEACON. It could make electricity by using sea water. She hopes it will help more people like her friends. Braille Louis Braille, a blind boy, tried to read by moving his fingers across raised letters, but that was very difficult. At 12, Louis learned about communication method by reading raised dots(点) silently with fingers. He changed it from 12 raised dots to just six and created Braille. Braille is now used around the world! 56. Which invention was created by chance? A. The Popsicle. B. The trampoline. C. BEACON. D. Braille. 57. Which invention is the most useful for blind people? A.

Just as we wanted to rest for short time, the engine(发动机) made a strange, loud noise and then stopped working. The sun was just setting and the air was getting cooler. We were in a place far away, with no houses in sight. We started to hear the cries of wild animals, so Kate was nervous. We didn’t have much food and it was getting colder, and darker. Several hours passed. Suddenly, the headlights from another car appeared in the dark. A stranger got out of the car. He looked unfriendly at first, until his mouth opened with a wide, friendly smile. He asked us to get into the car with him. He had such a kind face, and we knew we could count on him. He drove us to a village, where his cousin lived. His cousin offered us tea and local foods. Everyone was excited to have unexpected guests, Later that evening, when we prepared to leave and thanked our new friends, I couldn’t believe the reply from the cousin, “No, we thank you for coming into our home.” I will never forget the kindness we received on that day because we turned to a complete stranger for help. 63.

Every day, the streets are noisy with the activity of millions of people, each of them living in their own way. It seems that people from every corner of the planet live here. And every single person has his own personal story. However, people here often feel quite lonely. It’s so strange that you get together with other people at every moment, but you still feel like you’re the only person on the planet. You can walk through a crowd and feel like you’re flying alone in space. Even the busiest shopping centre can feel like a foreign planet. There are many ways to deal with this feeling—but perhaps the best way is to depend on your friends. When I’m feeling lonely or sad, the first thing I do is to pick up my phone and text a friend. All of us are busy with work and our own matters—but my closest friends always take the time to reply. In a world where feelings of loneliness can come so easily, friends are the best antidote to these feelings. I’ve got through some of the hardest times in my life with the help of my friends.

It seems that many people agree, at least in the US. There are over 1, 200 privately owned pet tigers in the country. It is much more than the number of tigers living in the wild. Why are there so many pet tigers? One reason is that tigers breed(繁殖) well when they are kept in a place and looked after by humans. That means the price of a baby tiger is quite low, sometimes just 500 or 600 dollars. Unluckily, tigers don’t make very good pets. Caring for a big cat is very expensive, difficult and dangerous. As babies, they may live inside with their owner, play safely and look very cute. However, when they grow up they cannot be trusted. They still want to live like a wild tiger. According to big cat trainers. only nearly 10% big cats can be trained well enough to get along with humans. For this reason, nearly all pet tigers live in care(笼子). The life of a pet tiger living in a cage is sometimes unhappy. They must stay in a cage so their owners can clean the cage and feed them. It is also safe to touch the tigers. After all, they are still wild animals at heart. So pet tigers are most often kept for show. Is that the kind of pet you would want? 70. How many pet tigers are there in the US? A. Nearly 120. B. About 500. C About 600. D. Over 1,200. 71. What will happen to most tigers kept in a cage when they grow up? A. They produce fewer babies. B. They can be totally trusted. C. They may be dangerous to humans. D. They get on well with humans. 72. What does the writer probably think of keeping a pet tiger? A. Safe. B. Unwise. C. Exciting. D. Noisy. 【答案】 ADBC BDA ADC BCDB DCB
