经典题型三、科普类

[题目1 ]

We each have a memory (记忆力) . That's why we can still remember things after a long time. Some people have very good memories and they can easily learn many things by heart, but some people can only remember things when they say or do them again and again.

Many of the great men of the world have got surprising memories.

A good memory is a great help in learning a language. Everybody learns his mother language when he is a small child. He hears the sounds, remembers them and then he learns to speak. Some children are living with their parents in foreign countries. They can learn two languages as easily as one because they hear, remember and speak two languages every day, In school it is not so easy to learn a foreign language because the pupils have so little time for it, and they are busy with other subjects, too.

But your memory will become better and better when you do more and more exercises.

1. What can a memory do?

A) It can help us learn new language B) It makes our body healthy C) It help people remember things D) It can do more exercises

2. ―Many of the great men hare got surprising memories‖ here ‖surprising‖ means A) bad B)frightened C)big D)very good

3. Why do the student hare a lot of trouble a foreign language? Because A) they can‘t hare enough time and chances to practice if B) they don‘t study hard on it C) they are not in a foreign country

D) the foreign language is too difficult for them 4. From the passage we know A) We can‘t learn mother language and foreign language at the same time B) good memory can help people a lot in learning a language C) the great men are successful because of the surprising memory D) exercises can help memory little

【趋势预测】科普性文章近年已成为中考题中必考题目，它涉及的内容陌生，表述多用术语，与学生的日常生活及文化知识的储备之间距离较大，这也成其较为艰涩难懂的主要原因；同时，由于理解不畅而影响了学生做题情绪，也是对学生心理素质的一种考查，故此题材倍受青睐。 【解题关键】本文以科学的态度论述了人们的记忆力以及培养好的记忆力的方法，并谈及语言学习与记忆的关系。 解决本题，要时刻紧扣文章内容本子，不可根据自己的经验轻率论断。 【答案解析】

1、C 本篇文章前两句是中心句、概括句是对“memory‖一个概括和定义，由此容易得出，其余三项太片面 2) D本题属于词语断义，此种题一方面掌握本意，同时又要放到具体语境中引出恰当的引申义，“surprising‖即令人惊喜的引申出出奇的好！

3) A 本题与学生自动体验有密切关系，其余三项不全面

4) B 运用排除法，A项在第二段描述“双语学习”中可找到反面证据 C项太片面，伟大不仅仅有个好记忆，而好的记忆只是感动的一项条件 D由于后一句可推翻

[题目2 ]

Many places in the world need more fresh (淡的) water. Every country is trying to find ways to turn salt water into fresh.

Why aren't there many factories like the Symi factory?

In some places, the sun is not hot enough, or it does not shine every day.

In such places, other ways of heating(加热)sea water can be used. These ways cost more money, but they work faster than the sun. By boiling(煮沸) sea water with high heat, a lot of fresh water can be made quickly. But heating is not the only way to get fresh water from salt water. Other ways are tried.

One way is freezing(冷冻). The fresh part of salt water freezes first. To get fresh water, the bits of ice are taken out. Which way is best? The one that gives the most water for the least money. It may be a different way for each place. Symi's way seems very good for small, hot places. It does not make very much water at a time. But the factory is easy to build and costs little.

That is why people in many dry places talk- about Symi!

1)Fresh water .

A)can be used in many ways B)can be found in many factories C)is needed in every country D)is very important for rectories 2)The symi factory .

A)is a fresh water-making factory B)doesn‘t need sunshine every day C)is a salt factory D)can be built everywhere

3）When we get fresh water from small and hot places, we can choose A)Boiling or heating the sea water B)the way in hotter and drier places C)The symi‘s way D)Freezing the sea water in cold places 4)This passage is mainly about .

A) hot places and dry places B)the ways of making fresh wafer from sea water

C) how to make good use of the sun D)water-making factories in different countries

【趋势预测】环境及环保的话题不仅是当今热门的关注焦点，而是在学生教科书中都得到了充分的体现，人口、风沙、水源、大气污染等各种主题均在考题中频频出现，这也是最应该提醒学生关注的题材之一。 【解题关键】

本文论述了全世界淡水资源缺乏的问题，并介绍了两种重要的提取淡水的方法：蒸煮法和冷冻法。

关于“water”方面的话题，同学们都有感性认识，但究其当中的科学、专业的道理就显得认识不足或不准确，故做这种题材的题目应将自己的认识与文段中科学的阐述结合起来，才能得到最准确的答案。 【答案解析】

1) C 由第一句“many places need more fresh water‖可知 2) A 本文重点读了symi factory的制水方法

3) C 最后一段“symi‘s why seems very good for small hot places‖得出

4) B 本篇文章说了很好，但主要（mainly）读的是“the way to make fresh water from sea water‖

[题目3 ]

Water can be a liquid ,a solid or a gas .When it is a solid, it may be as hard as rock(岩石) .When it is a liquid, you can pour (倒) it out of a container(容器) .When it is a gas, you cannot see it or feel it. When water changes to water vapour ,we say that it evaporates(蒸发) .When water vapour changes to water ,we say that it condenses(凝结) .

Water can change from one form, to another easily. This is why we always have fresh supply (供给) of water .Now let us find out how this is possible. The heat of the sun evaporates water, from the oceans(海洋), seas, rivers and lakes.

- 2 -

The heat also evaporates water from the ground and from plants and animals. Water vapour is formed. This rises and forms clouds in the air.

When the clouds come near a mountain, they are forced to rise. As the clouds rise, they are cooled. The higher they rise, the more they are cooled. This causes (引起) more and more water vapour to condense . In this way, the tiny(微小) drops of water in the clouds get bigger and bigger until they are heavy enough to fall to the earth as rain .

Some rain water which fails on the earth is again evaporated by the sun's heat. Some of it sinks into the ground. It may be used up by thirsty plants. It may reach a well (水井) or a spring(泉) . Most of the water goes back to the rivers, seas and oceans. This process(过程) then starts all over again . This process is called the water cycle.

Questions:

1) How many forms does water have?

A) Only one B)Two C)Three D)Four

2) Which of the followings shows the wafer condenses? A) A liquid changes to a solid B)A solid changes into a gas C) A gas changes to liquid D)A solid is heated 3)The tiny drops of water are called rain when . A) water vapour condenses B)water vapour forms clouds

C) they are in the clouds D)they are big enough to fall to the earth

4) The rain wafer that sinks into the ground is than as that goes back to the rivers, seas and oceans. A)more B)less C)the same D)as much

【趋势预测】本篇阅读材料是一篇纯科普性的物理知识，里面的专业术语比较多，这正是中考题中逐渐尝试使用的一种考查方法。但专业术语，有绝大部分可以在上下文中语境暗示中找到较为合理的解释。本篇文章讲述了“水循环”这一物理知识，学生们对此基本有了自己的认识，理解起来应该不太难。 【解题关键】

本文介绍了水的三种变化：固态、液态、气态。第一段介绍了三态形式以及相互的变化。第二段介绍了海水因为太阳加热变成水蒸气进而形成云。下一段介绍了雨的形成。最后介绍了地面上的雨的不同的用途。

解决此种类型题目时需注意两点：①没必要也不可能将术语全部翻译出来，只要用“记号”的形式界定他们之间的区别即可，如“liquid、solid、gas、vapour等②时刻留念上下文的相互补充释义，尽可能地找到这些术语的定义，哪怕是一些朴素或不精确的解读。

【答案解析】1)C)开篇第一句就给出了水的动态形式

2) C 由 ―when water vapour changes to water we say that it condenses‖这一句得出，但要搞清“gas‖与“vapour‖，“ water‖与 ―liquid‖的对应关系。

3) D 第三段最后一句“‖until they are heavy enough??”可知 4) B 最后一段“some of it sinks?”“most of the water goes back‖两句，对此“some‖与“most‖的量的区别，不难得出。

[题目4 ] When you cut your skin(皮肤), you bleed(流血). If a person loses a lot of blood, he will become ill and may die. Blood is very important. People have always known that. At one time, some people even drank blood to make them strong!

When doctors understand how blood goes around inside the body, they try ways of giving blood to people who need it. They take blood from the healthy people and give it to people who need it. This is called\输血)\

But there are two problems. First, it does not always work. Sometimes people die when they have blood transfusion.

- 3 -

Later, doctors find that we do not all have the same kind of blood. There are four groups ( 类 ) --O, A, B and AB. We all have blood of one of these groups. They also find that they can give any kind of blood to people of group AB. But they find that they must give A-group blood to A-group people and B-group blood to B-group people. I have O-group blood and the doctor told me that I could give blood to anyone else safely,

There is another problem. To give blood of the right kind, doctors have to find a person of the right blood group(血型). Often they can not find a person in time. If they have a way to keep the blood until someone needs it, they can always have the fight kind of blood. At first they find they can keep it in bottles for fifteen to twenty days. They do this by making it very cold. Then they find how to keep it longer. In the end they find a way of keeping blood for a very, long time.

We call a place where we keep money a \when you grow up, you may decide to give blood to a ―blood bank‖. In this way you may stop someone from dying. Or perhaps one day you may become ill. You may need blood. The blood bank will give it to you.

Questions:

1) ―Some people even drank blood to make them strong‖, It shows that . A)they had no enough blood B)they hare known that C)they were ill badly D)they lost a lot of blood

2)From the passage, we learn that sometimes people die when they hare blood transfusions because they . A are sick people B)they hare lost a lot of blood

C)are not given the right kind of blood D)are AB-group people 3)People set up the ―blood-bank‖ so that they can .

A)give the right kind of blood to the people who need it in tine B)keep different groups of blood as much as possible C)make much money by selling blood D)keep blood warm for being used

5）If a man is one of AB-group people, How may kinds of blood can be given to him? A)1 B)2 C)3 D)4 【押中指数】★★★★★

【趋势预测】本篇文章涉及医疗、生理等方面的话题，叙述严谨，内容陌生，这正是中考题所要考查的重点，几乎各省市，中考对此均有涉及。 【解题关键】

本文介绍的是有关人类血性的话提。第一段使人们认识到血液的重要性。第二段介绍了输血的概念。第三段介绍了4种血型以及相互间的关系。最后两段介绍了血液的储存。

解决此类题型的关键时，在阅读时不可时断时续，要一气呵成且对材料中所提及的各种名称，术语要谙记在心，即使不能准确译制出汉意，也要脉络清晰，并相互兼顾，彼此联系，才能最终锁定答案。 【答案解析】

1) B从文中第一段得知人们已得知血液重要性，并且曾一度 ―at one time‖认为饮血可以强身。 2) C 注意文中也出现“sometimes‖一句紧扣材料，是指在输血过程中的死亡，故C最恰当。 3) A第四段明确表述，建血库是为及时供给方便而为之。

4) D 四种血型均可给AB型血供血，原句“they can give any kind of blood to people of group AB‖

经典题型四、其他题材

[题目1 ]

First, the young dog lives with a. family. They leach the dog about travelling on buses, in cars and on trains without being scared(惊吓). The dog also learns about busy streets and the noise of cars and markets. It learns to keep calm (平静的) when it hears loud noises like firecrackers(鞭炮). If a dog lived with your family, it would watch you cooking and eating, reading, playing, packing your school bag and many more things. Dogs can also go to school to learn how to help people who cannot hear. If a person cannot hear, we say he or she is deaf.

Dogs who help deaf people must learn many different sounds. Then they must be able to show the deaf person what is making the sound. When they hear a visitor at the door, the dog learns to walk to the deaf person and then walk to the door. And if a telephone rings, they walk to the deaf man or woman and then walk to the telephone.

These dogs can also help deaf mothers. If a baby is crying in another room, the dog walks to the mother and then to the baby. These dogs wear a yellow coat to show that they are special dogs that are helping a deaf person.

There have been many times when these dogs have saved a life. You may see in a newspaper that a dog heard a fire alarm and lay down near the deaf person' s feet. That is the sign for danger. The person knows that something is wrong and can go away from the fire.

Special dogs can also held people who are disabled (残废) in various ways. For example, dogs can pull off their gloves or socks! Think how difficult your life would be if you were blind, deaf or disabled! But if you had a special dog like this to help you, your life would be much easier.

Questions:

It is surprising to find out how much we like new people when we get to \their children after a close friend. Many places are named after men and women, if they are friendly to people in a town. Some libraries are named this way. So are some schools. We think of these people when we go to these places.

There's more good news for people, if they have friends. These people live longer than those people if those don't have friends. Why? Because they are happier. Being happy helps you stay well.

Robots have come a long way since 15th century. We‘ve got robots to build cars, carry heavy things, work in dangerous places and explore planets. But things haven‘t stopped there.

In1986, Honda made a robot called ASIMO. And now, it has been developed greatly. Standing at 130cm and weighing 54kg, ASIMO is very much like a small astronaut wearing a bag on the back. And he can walk, fight, climb and run fast. Isn‘t it wonderful?

The world‘s first robot teacher is Saya. With her human-like face, she can show expressions like happiness, surprise, sadness, dislike, fear and she can even smile or show anger at students, which look much like a real teacher‘s. To do this, her rubber skin is pulled from the back with motors inside. And her eyes and mouth have wires(电线) too. She can also say some simple words like ―hello‖or―thank you‖.

In the UK, the development of robots is exciting. The mini-robots will send food, clean floors, collect and throw away waste. These robots can open doors by themselves and stop if anything or anyone is in the way.

These mini-robots are very useful for controlling infection(传染).Usually clean and dirty work is done by the same person, but here, you‘ll have robots that do―dirty work‖,like collecting dirty sheets, or taking away hospital waste; and you‘ll have robots that do―clean work‖,like bringing meals or clean sheets to patients. The robots have separate work so there‘s no way for infection, which is great. But of course, robots would not take the place of humans, but would free up more time for nurses to be with patients.

But if this is what it‘s like in 2011, what‘s it going to be like in 2021?

- 10 -

42. In the following, which is ASIMO‘s behavior? A. Smiling at people, saying ―hello‖.

B. Sending food or opening doors by himself. C. Fighting, climbing or running fast. D. Collecting waste for patients. 43. What makes Saya look real?

A. Her face and rich expressions. B. Her clothes and shoes. C. Her walking and running speed. D. Her rich knowledge. 44. Which of the following is true according to the passage? A. Robots have come a long way since 1986. B. The first robot teacher was made by Honda. C. Saya looks like a small astronaut.

D. If anyone or anything is in the way, mini-robots will stop. 45. The main idea of Paragraph 5 is that _______. A. nurses would have more free time with patients B. robots would not take the place of humans

C. dirty and clean work is always done by the same person D. mini-robots are useful for controlling infection 【主旨大意】本文介绍了机器人的发展变化。

Who do you admire(崇拜)?Different people may have different ideas.

If you‘re a sports fan, perhaps the person you admire most is a great basketball player, and Yao Ming is probably the one in your mind. If you study music or play an instrument, perhaps the person you admire most is gifted musician like Mozart, who began to write beautiful music at a very young age. Or maybe you admire great scientists, for example, Yuan Longping.

We have many reasons to admire famous people and we often give much of our respect to them. However, we shouldn‘t neglect those who are common, such as nurses, train drivers, firemen, cleaners and so on. They may be working in a corner of the world without being noticed, but all these people spend their working days serving the public. They show great dedication(奉献).However, what they do is often unnoticed by us. Have you ever thought of what our life will be like if they stop working?

So next time when you appreciate famous people, don‘t forget those who are common around you.

Venice is an attractive city in Italy. Tourists throughout the world love traveling to Venice. But sometimes you‘ll have such strange experiences. One moment you walk across the Rialto Bridge, and there‘s nothing special. Unfortunately, when you come back to the bridge an hour later, it‘s underwater and everyone‘s wearing rain boots.

That‘s just the way it has always been, which may be considered seriously by Italian government. Before the sea comes to Venice, the government has decided to build the MOSE gates. Actually(实际上), there were many kinds of gates that were built to stop the floods, but all the gates were just built on the ground. Besides, the flooding was becoming worse. Industrial(工业的)factories built nearby on the mainland also made the condition get worse, causing the city to sink about 0.75 feet in the 20th century.

So the Italian government asked some of Italy‘s biggest construction and engineering companies to build the MOST project, which was planned to be built under the sea water to stop floods. Now the government are using 3 000 people and expect to spend nearly five billion euros(欧元) on it. The MOSE gates are being built at the inlets(海湾).Each MOST gate is 197 feet long ,28.5 to 37 feel tall, and weight up to 22 tons. It‘s nearly the size of a 20-story building. Before the gates are in use, under the sea full of water. When the flood comes, the water in the gates will be poured out, and then the gates will be filled with air. So the gates can go up with the sea water. Once they‘re in the right place, they will stop the sea water pouring into Venice. These gates will be able to deal with floods up to 10feet,and as long as the sea level(平面)rises no more than two feet in the next 100 years, the MOSE will work as expected.

The MOSE project is now two-thirds done. The head engineer, Giovanni Cecconi, said, ―This is a war. During the war, it‘s not important that you win. It‘s important that you‘re alive. We‘ve alive.‖ Anyway, this project is saving Venice from falling.

根据短文内容选择最佳答案。

46. The underlined word ―construction‖ in the passage means ―_______‖in Chinese. A.建筑 B. 农业 C. 交通

47. Before building the MOSE gates, the Italian government _______ to stop the floods. A. never built gates on the ground

I felt very sad not to be able to get the ticket for the film Titanic last Friday. I learned in the newspaper that ticket could be bought at the cinema box office (售票处) in Richland Hill every day between 10:00 and 4:00. Because I work from 9:00 to 5:30, the only time I could go to the cinema was during my 45-minute lunch time. It is a pity that the cinema is on the other side of the town, and the bus service between my office and Richland Hills is not very good. But if you are lucky, you can make the round(往返) trip in 45 minute.

Last Monday I stood at the bus stop for fifteen minutes, waiting for a bus. By the time I saw one come around the corner, there was not enough time left to make the trip---- so I had to go back to the office. The same thing happened on Wednesday. On Thursday my luck changed, I got on a bus right away and arrived at the cinema in twenty minutes. But when I got there, I found a long line of people at the box office. I heard one man say he had been waiting in line for fifty-five minutes. I found that I would not have enough time to wait in line, I caught the next bus and went back across the town.

By Friday I understood my only hope was to make the trip by car. it was not cheap, but I felt it would be worth to see the film. The trip by car only took 10 minutes, but it felt like one hour to me. When I reached the cinema, I was delighted to see that nobody was waiting in line. But quickly found out that it was because they had already sold all the tickets.

The top is not trimmed during this time. In the fifth year, the bush grows tall enough for shaping. Then the gardener begins to shape the whole bush.

Is the world too crowded? Well, that‘s a hard question to answer. It‘s all a matter of perspective(视角).In Montana, you might drive for a mile in any direction and not see another human being. In Macao,60,000 people live in every square mile!

What is true is that the world‘s population doesn‘t stay the same. It has been increasing at a very fast rate(比例).That‘s in part because in each generation(代) these are more people who then have children than in the last generation.

Five hundred years ago, the population of the world was about 460 million. In 1900,the world‘s population was under 2 billion(十亿).Right now it is doubling every 40 years. That means, if this rate of growth continues, when you are a parent, there will be twice as many people on earth as there are now. Wow! Now that‘s a whole lot of people! Soon the world‘s population will probably reach 7 billion. Some people worry about that! But there is a lot of disagreement about just how many people on earth equals(相当于) too many people. But everyone agrees that the more people there are, the more resources(资源) the world needs to feed, house and take care of all of them, and the more need there is to think carefully about how we live and use the earth‘s resources.

61. From the first paragraph we can know that ________.

A. Montana is too crowded B. Macao is too crowded

C. the world is too crowded D. the world is not too crowded 62. The population is increasing fast partly because ________. A. people live longer than before B. there are less wars than before

A. find more resources B. use more resources C. think about our ways of living D. move to other places 65. From the passage we can learn that the writer ________. A. thinks the world already has too many people

B. thinks the world can feed no more than 7 billion people C. is not sure when the world‘s population will reach 7 billion D. is not sure what the largest population that the world can feed is

Some people think only school children do not agree with their parents, however, it is not true.

Communication is a problem for parents and children of all ages. If it‘s hard for you to communicate with your parents, don‘t worry about it. Here are some advice for you to bridge the generation gap (代沟).

Don’t argue (争辩) with your parents. Don‘t get to your parents when you are angry. Your parents probably won‘t consider your ideas if you are shouting at them. And you can‘t express yourself well if you are angry. Go someplace to cool off. Make sure you understand why you are unhappy. Then think about what you want to say to your parents. If you don‘t think you can speak to them at the moment, try writing a letter.

Try to reach a compromise (和解). Perhaps you and your parents disagree on something. You can keep your disagreement and try your best to accept each other. Michael‘s mother didn‘t agree with him about buying a motorcycle. They argued over it. But they finally came to a compromise. Michael bought the motorcycle, but only drove it on certain days.

Of course, your parents might refuse to compromise on something. In these situations, it is especially important to show love and respect (尊敬) to them. Showing respect will keep your relationship strong.

Talk about your values. The values of your parents are probably different from those of your own. Tell your parents what you care about, and why. Understanding your values might help them see your purposes in life.

- 34 -

A good relationship with your parents can make you a better and happier person. It is worth having a try! ( ) 56. According to the passage who have a communication problem? A. parents and other people B. only school kids and their parents C. teachers and their students D. parents and children of all ages

( ) 57. How many pieces of advice does the writer give us to bridge the generation gap? A. 5. B. 4. C. 3. D. 2. ( ) 58. The underlined word ―bridge‖ in the passage means ―______‖. A. 建立 B. 消除 C. 通过 D. 到达

( ) 59. If the values of your parents are different from those of yours, you‘d better ______. A. argue with them B. keep away from them

C. agree with them all the time D. tell your parents what you care about ( ) 60. The best title for the passage is______.
