中考英语时事阅读第十期
英语时事阅读第十期Passage 1：Launch of Long March 11Among all the Long March rockets, Long March 11 is, without question, the star. It’s the first and only solid-fuel rocket in the Long March family. It’s also the first rocket in China that has completed a seaborne (海上的) mission –from the Yellow Sea in June 2019. And now its successful launch on May 30 from the Xichang Satellite Launch Center in Sichuan province has, again, set new records.It was the first time that the Long March 11 had been launched from the Xichang Satellite Launch Center. Among its previous eight launches, seven were from Gansu’s Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center and one from the sea. The latest success “has proven its adaptability (适应性) to different launch sites”, Peng Kunya, the chief designer of the rocket, told Xinhua News Agency.A new launch platform was also used in the mission, which helped the rocket better adapt to the new environment. According to Guangming News, the new platform is highly integrated (集成的) and intelligent, allowing the preparation time of the launch to be significantly reduced. China’s capability (能力) to launch rockets in a short time has “reached a new level”, Jin Xin,deputy commander-in-chief of the Long March 11 mission, said in a press conference (新闻发布会).The mission also marked the first use of a 2-meter-diameter fairing (整流罩) on the Long March 11. A fairing is the structure outside of a rocket that is able to streamline (使……呈流线型) the rocket and reduce drag (阻力). It’s also what “wraps (掩护)” satellites, protecting them from the increasing pressure and heat when a rocket travels through the atmosphere. A 1.6-meter-diameter fairing was previously used on Long March 11. But this time, two satellites – tasked with conducting inter-satellite data link and Earth observation tests – were onboard the rocket, requiring a wider fairing.“A fai ring measuring 2 meters in diameter leaves more space for satellites,” added Jin.Long March 11 has indeed proven itself as “the most adaptable carrier rocket in China”, according to Xinhua. But designers didn’t stop there. In fact, they have begun to develop an upgraded version of the Long March 11 – called the Long March 11A – which will be even wider, taller and have greater thrust (推进力). The new model is expected to make its maiden (初次的) flight around 2022.Long March 2DOn May 31, one day after the successful launch of Long March 11, the Long March 2D carrier rocket was launched from the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center in Gansu. It carried two satellites –the Gaofen 9-02 optical (光学的) remote-sensing satellite for city planning and natural disaster monitoring and the Head Aerospace 4 for traffic data collection.1.Which of the following shows Long March 11’s adaptability?A. It uses the latest solid energy.B. It has taken many seaborne missions.C. It was launched at different launch sites.D.It is the first rocket launched from Xichang.2.What is the advantage of the new launch platform?A. It can suit different rockets.B. It can shorten the preparation time of the launch.C.It can collect data of the launch intelligently.D. It can protect the structure of the rocket.3. What is a benefit of using a 2-meter-diameter fairing?A.The drag and pressure are reduced.B. The rocket can better adapt to the environment.C.It allows more space for satellites.D.The structure of a rocket changes.4. What does the underlined word “upgraded” in the last paragraph probably mean?A. Lightened.B. Simplified.C. Qualified.D. Advanced.参考答案：CBCDPassage 2：Protecting wildlifeKnown as a “living fossil”, the Chinese sturgeon (中华鲟) is a very precious species. It is believed to have lived alongside the dinosaurs more than 140 million years ago.Although dinosaurs are long since gone, the Chinese sturgeon still exists to this day. However, the species has been listed as “Critically Endangered” on the International Union for Conservation of Nature’s Red List of Threatened Species. According to CGTN, dams and overfishing (过度捕捞) affect its reproduction (繁殖). In 2018, according to the Natural Resources Defense Council, the annual rate of reproduction was between 4.5 percent and zero.On May 14, Shanghai legislators (立法机构) passed a new law protecting the Chinese sturgeon, emphasizing “regional cooperation”, according to China Daily.“This is the first local legislation in the country to protect one endangered fish,” said Ding Wei, director of the legislative affairs committee (法制委员会) of the Shanghai Municipal People’s Congress.Expected to take effect on June 6, the regulation urges cooperation in law enforcement (实施), scientific research and rescue (拯救) of the species between Shanghai and other provinces and regions in the Yangtze River basin, according to People’s Daily.The need for collaborative (合作的) efforts is due to the living habitat of the Chinese sturgeon. As an an adromous (溯河产卵的) species, it mainly lives in the Yangtze River and depends on the Yangtze estuary (河口) for migration (迁移).The protection of the Chinese sturgeon is urgent. China began the artificial propagation (人工繁殖) and release of the fish in 1984. However, very few of the farmed fish have survived in the wild. The number of first filial generation Chinese sturgeons (子一代中华鲟亲鱼) through artificial breeding (培育) is less than 1,000, according to a report by the Shanghai Observer.Whether this species can be preserved (保护) depends on the natural populat ion. “If the natural population is not well protected, the Chinese sturgeon is in danger of extinction (灭绝),” Li Furong, vice chairperson of the Agricultural and Rural Affairs Committee of Shanghai Municipal People’s Congress, said in the report.With the number of the Chinese sturgeon in sharp decline, China has used different measures to preserve the species. In 2002, Shanghai first set up thenatural reserve (保护区) for the sturgeon in the mouth of the Yangtze River. In 2018, the State Council issued a guideline to improve biodiversity (生物多样性) in the Yangtze River region. It stated that human activities, including building dams, water pollution and overfishing have had a severe impact on aquatic (水生的) life in the Yangtze River.Since Jan 1 of this year, a 10-year fishing ban on key areas of the Yangtze River basin has been issued, covering 332 nature reserves, which includes Shanghai’s Chinese sturgeon nature reserve.1.What is the new law passed on May 14 in Shanghai about?A. Forbidding fishing in the area.B. Protecting the Chinese sturgeon.C. Increasing the reproduction of the Chinese sturgeon.D. Listing the Chinese sturgeon as an endangered species.2. What do we know about the Chinese sturgeon?A. It mainly lives in the waters of Shanghai.B. Artificial propagation technology costs too much.C. Farmed fish tend to live longer than the natural ones.D. Saving the species depends on protecting their natural population.3. What does the last paragraph mainly talk about?A. China’s effort to protect the Ch inese sturgeon.B. Causes of the decline in the Chinese sturgeon population.C. The importance of regulations controlling human activities.D. The effects of human activities on aquatic life in the Yangtze River.参考答案：BDAPassage 3：“ How tall can it be?Qomolangma is the world’s highest mountain. You may have learned from your textbooks that its height is 8,844 meters. But not all sides are in agreement on this. Different researchers have given different results. In addition, theheight of the mountain can change over time.That’s why a 30-member Chinese survey team set out to reach the peak of Qomolangma to re-measure its height on May 6. They are equipped (配备) with the latest technology, including a global navigation satellite system receiver (接收器) and a radar (雷达).It is not an easy task. The average air temperature on the mountain is -29 C – four degrees lower than in Antarctica – and powerful winds blow all the time. In such bad conditions, surveying drones (无人机) cannot work at the peak of the mountai n. That’s why it’s still necessary to send human experts to the peak to get reliable (可靠的) results.But does a difference of a few meters really matter when it comes to a high mountain?In fact, measuring the height of Qomolangma is about more than just getting one exact number. Mount Qomolangma is at the point where the Eurasian plate (板块) meets the Indian plate. It formed 38 million years ago as the two plates hit each other. Changes in the peak’s height can show whether the two plates are heading toward or away from each other. This can help us understand the movement of Earth’s crust (地壳).The survey team will also get firsthand information about environmental conditions at the top of the mountain. This will help us understand how climate change has affected the Tibet-Qinghai Plateau.Did you know?Mountains can change in several ways over time. They can experience erosion (侵蚀) by rain and wind, as well as landslides (山体滑坡) due to flooding. Some mountains change because of volcanic (火山的) activity. They may also change due to earthquakes and movement of tectonic plates (地壳构造板块).1.What do we know from the first paragraph?A.Researchers measures the height of Qomolangma every year.B.There is no agreed-upon height of Qomolangma at present.C.It’s not easy to measure the height of Qomolangma.D. The height of Qomolangma increases every year.2. Which of the following words could replace “peak” in Paragraph 2?A. PointB. topC. baseD. edge3. What challenge will the Chinese survey team face?A. A lack of water.B.Dangerous animals.C.Unfriendly weather conditions.D. The movement of Earth’s crust.4. What is the main idea of the last two paragraphs?A. Why measuring the height of Qomolangma is important.B. What changes in the height of Qomolan gma’s peak can tell us.C.How Qomolangma became the highest mountain.D. How plate movements have affected the height of Qomolangma.参考答案：BBCAPassage 4：Couple's dance helps lift spirits of millions When life tries to bring you down, just dance!That's the message from Peng Xiaoying, 45, and her 49-year-old husband, Fan Deduo, in Zhejiang province.The couple — farmers who grow corn on a half-hectare field in Mayu township in Ruian, Wenzhou — recently went viral on the internet with a shuffle dance step they invented. They've cheered up millions of Chinese who have responded to the couple's smiling faces and easygoing approach to life.Dancing along the path to the field, dragging their feet and sometimes jumping into the air to imitate ducks offers the couple a mountain of joy, despite a failure inbusiness, a serious traffic accident, illnesses and other troubles."Whenever we feel upset, the shuffle dance always helps cheer us up and lighten our mood. It has been such an uplift in our lives," Peng said. "I think the main reason we get so happy when we dance has to do with the idea of our exercising with the shuffle on the ridges. It's really exciting."The couple turned to dancing about four years ago.Fan had been chronically depressed after a severe traffic accident in Yunnan province 18 years ago. He became nervous, irritated by trivial matters, and had trouble sleeping at night due to the accident. The couple then decided to wrap up their shoe-selling business in Yunnan and return to their hometown, Ruian.To help conquer his depression, Peng, who was a big fan of dancing in public squares, invited Fan to join her. The minute he began, his suffering eased like magic.The couple then became frequent participants in square dancing. That's where they invented the shuffle, incorporating some elements of everyday and rural life such as combing hair and pumping bellows.During the novel coronavirus epidemic, the couple uploaded their dance videos to Douyin, also known as TikTok, and began live streaming on the sharing platform. Their innocent smiles and unique dance steps took cyberspace by storm, with more than 1.6 million netizens now subscribing to their channel and following their dancing on the platform."Look at them! I think that's really what the essence of dancing is about — not showing off but really bringing happiness and joy to the dancers themselves in a simple way. This is the most beautiful dancing I've ever seen," one netizen enthused.For the dancing couple, expression is everything."We love life in the countryside. We dance after our daily work," Fan said. "It's a dream life.1:Where does the couple come from？2:What does Peng Xiaoying think of shuffle dance？3:What happened on Fan Deduo in Yunnan province eighteen years ago?4:How many netizens follow their dancing on the platform.5:Is this their dream life?参考答案：1：Ruian, Wenzhou2：Whenever we feel upset, the shuffle dance always helps cheer us up and lighten our mood. It has been such an uplift in our lives3：Fan had been chronically depressed after a severe traffic accident4：more than 1.6 million5：Yes；it isPassage 4：Tech of the two sessionsDue to the COVID-19 outbreak, this year’s two sessions were held a bit differently. Different kinds of advanced technology were used to make the meetings go smoothly. Let’s take a look at some of them!AI anchorXinhua revealed (发布) its first 3D AI news anchor, Xin Xiaowei, on May 22. The “female” anchor, the first of its kind in the world, reported on the two sessions. She can move around easily, make gestures and show facial expressions like nodding and blinking (眨眼). She can even change her clothes and hairstyle according to different situations.The AI anchor was “cloned (克隆)” after Zhao Wanwei, a reporter who works for Xinhua. Zhao wore a data-collecting helmet to help designers create her 3D clone. Hundreds of cameras were used to trace (追踪) her movements and expressions.Special interviewsOn May 20, Dr Cai Weiping, a deputy (代表) to the National People’s Congress, took part in a special interview with Xinhua. He and the interviewer were in two different cities. However, viewers could see their holographic (全息的) images on the same screen. They talked with each other and even “shook hands”, like they were sitting face to face in the same room.This was made possible thanks to holographic imaging techniques, as well as 5G technology. Holographic imaging is a way to show 3D images of people or things. Itrequires (要求) high-speed data to work, which is made possible through the use of 5G.Online press conferences and interviews were also widely conducted (使用) during the sessions. Spokespeople and reporters worked from different rooms. But they could see each other on big screens in their rooms and communicate instantly (实时地).1.Who is Xin Xiaowei?2.What kinds of facial expressions can she make?3.Why is a “data-collecting helmet” mentioned?4.What is holographic imaging?5.Why does holographic imaging require the use of 5G technology?参考答案：1.Xinhua’s first 3D AI news anchor.2.She can show facial expressions like nodding and blinking.3.To explain how Xin Xiaowei was created.4.It is a way to show 3D images of people or things.5.5G provides the high data speeds that it needs to work.Passage 5：Writers behind the booksIn modern society, it is easy to get caught up with work, school and other responsibilities. Many people seldom find time to just sit back and read a book – not to mention get to know the people behind the literary works.This may change, though. The documentary series Everyday Life of Literature debuted (首映) on Youku on April 16 and offers viewers a glimpse into the lives of writers.Each of the five episodes (集) focuses on a specific writer and includes commentary (评论) from other guests, including a literary critic and an artist. Director Wang Shengzhi is seen observing their conversations over two or three days.“Each author has a different personality,” Wang said. “But they have one thing incommon –they all instinctively (本能地) distance themselves from the camera because they don’t want to ‘act’.”One episode is on Ma Yuan, 67, a novelist who rose to fame (成名) in the 1980s for his creative narrative (叙事的) skills. Ma left Shanghai in 2008 after being diagnosed with cancer and has lived in a small village of the Hani ethnic group in Yunnan province since.“Today’s people really show themselves on social media. They have gone far from the nature of life,” Ma says in the episode. “I’m not a hermit (隐士) ... I’m only living in a way that is like the essence (本质) of literature, unadorned (简朴的) but poetic.”A similar situation is noticed in the episode on Alai, 61, an author of Tibetan ethnicity who’s based in Chengdu, Sichuan province, and is best known for his novel, Dust Settled Down. He does not use WeChat and Wang had to persuade him to appear in the documentary.When Alai recalls his experience of the devastating (灾难性的) magnitude-8.0 earthquake in Sichuan in 2008, he gets emotional. For Alai, it was a bitter yet inspirational time to consider the matter of life and death on a deeper level.It took him a decade to begin writing his novel on the catastrophe (灾难), Diary in the Clouds (《云中记》), which is narrated from a Tibetan monk’s (僧侣的) perspective to reveal (揭示) not only pain but also awe (敬畏) of nature.“The authors talk about hometowns ... life and death, and many themes concerning all of us,” Meng Yan, producer of the documentary, said. “Audiences will be led to notice some subtle emotions in life, which can be easily neglected ... We can think of our own pains and explore what is a really interesting life.”1.What is the purpose of the documentary series Everyday Life of Literature?A. To show people the value of literary works.B. To tell people about the lives of writers.C. To share books some famous people have read.D. To introduce less well-known writers to viewers.2. What do we learn from Ma Yuan’s example?A. It’s good to become known at a young age.B. He hopes people can live a simpler life.C. Living in small villages helps people stay healthy.D. He loves writing poems about small things in life.3. What happened to Alai after experiencing the earthquake in 2008?A. He wrote about it in Dust Settled Down.B. He was away from his hometown for 10 years.C. He gained a new way to look at life and death.D. He spent a decade recovering from his suffering.4. What does the underlined word “subtle” in the last paragraph probably mean?A. unnoticeableC. positiveB. strongD. similar参考答案：BBCA。

The event took place in a historic bullring, with a large crowd of locals and tourists eagerly awaiting the spectacle.As the event started, the atmosphere was charged with excitement and anticipation. The matador, dressed in traditional attire, entered the ring to the sound of trumpets and cheers. The bull was then released into the arena, and the dance between man and beast began.The bullfight itself is a three-part performance, with the first part involving the matador using a large cape to create mesmerizing, swirling movements that entice the bull. The second part sees the matador using a smaller, red cape to provoke the bull into charging, showcasing the agility and skill of the matador as he maneuvers around the bull. Finally, the matador will go in for the kill, using a sword to end thebull's life.While there is no denying the incredible skill and bravery of the matadors, the spectacle is undeniably brutal and controversial. Many people find the tradition of bullfighting to be cruel and unnecessary, while others argue that it is an important part of Spanish culture and should be preserved.After witnessing a bullfight, I can understand both sides of the argument.

关于交通安全的新闻报道英语作文
关于交通安全的新闻报道英语作文A Scary Car Crash on Main Street!You'll never believe what happened yesterday on Main Street! I was walking home from school with my friend Tommy when we heard a huge CRASH! It was so loud that Tommy covered his ears. We looked up and saw two cars that had smashed right into each other. One of the cars had smoke coming out of the front. Uh oh, I thought, this doesn't look good.We ran over to see if everyone was okay. One of the drivers was an older man and he looked really shaken up. The other driver was a lady who was talking on her cell phone. I couldn't believe it - she was on her phone while driving! No wonder she didn't see the other car.Pretty soon, a police officer arrived. He asked both drivers what happened. The lady admitted she had been distracted by her phone call. The police officer shook his head and gave her a ticket for using her phone while driving. He told her she was lucky no one got seriously hurt this time.My mom always tells me that distracted driving is super dangerous. She says things like texting, eating, putting on makeup, or messing with the radio can take your eyes off theroad for just a few seconds - but that's enough time for a terrible accident to happen. And she's right - just look at that lady who caused the crash by gabbing away on her phone instead of watching where she was going!After the police officer took their statements, a tow truck came to haul away the two smashed up cars. What a mess! Metal and glass was scattered all over the street. While we waited for the tow trucks to clear everything away, I asked the officer if stuff like this happens a lot. He sighed and said "More than you'd think, son. Distracted driving causes thousands of crashes every year. It's a real problem."Finally, the street was cleared and Tommy and I continued our walk home. We felt really bad for the two drivers, even though one of them caused the whole thing by being distracted. Nobody plans to get into a car crash. I hope they learned their lesson about focusing on driving instead of other distractions.My dad always says "Everything is okay in moderation." I think that means it's fine to change the radio station or take a quick sip of water while driving sometimes. But you have to concentrate on the road and be ready to react to anything that comes up. Driving requires your full attention to keep yourself and others safe.With distracted driving causing so many crashes, there's been a big push lately to pass tougher laws against it. In our state, it's illegal for any driver to use a hand-held cell phone while the vehicle is moving. But lots of people ignore the law and do it anyway. The fines need to be increased to really discourage people from making deadly mistakes behind the wheel.Schools have also started teaching kids like me about traffic safety from an early age. Just last week, a police officer came to my class to tell us about the dangers of distracted driving, drunk driving, speeding, and not wearing seatbelts. He showed us pictures of terrible accident scenes to drive the point home about why we need to be safe and focused on the road.The officer reminded us that even though we're too young to drive yet, we're pedestrians who need to be careful crossing streets. He said to always use crosswalks, wait for the walk signal, and look both ways before stepping into the road. No texting or listening to music when we're near moving vehicles! It's up to all of us to avoid dangerous situations, whether we're walking or driving.After the accident on Main Street, I have a new appreciation for how important it is to pay attention when you're driving. I'm going to make sure I never use my phone or eat messy foods ordo other distracting things once I get my license. Driving is one of the most dangerous things we do, so it's critical to stay focused 100% of the time you're behind the wheel. One little distraction could change your life forever.I hope that lady who caused the crash feels terrible about what she did. She put herself, the other driver, me, Tommy, and anyone else nearby in danger by not devoting her full attention to operating her vehicle safely. Maybe this will be a wake-up call for her to change her ways. As for me, I've learned an important lesson about driver attentiveness that will stick with me when I start driving someday.From now on, every time I see someone driving while distracted, I'm going to think of that horrible crash on Main Street. It was a powerful reminder about why we need to keeplaser focused when we're behind the wheel. Driving is a huge responsibility that requires your undivided care and concentration. Lives literally depend on it.。

地震演戏英语报道作文Earthquake Drill: Preparing for the Unexpected.In the early morning hours, the quiet streets of our city were suddenly jolted by the rumbling of an earthquake. It was not a real one, but a well-orchestrated drill designed to test our readiness and response in case of a real disaster. The air was filled with a tense excitement as residents, schools, and businesses alike took part in this important exercise.The city had been preparing for this drill for weeks. Flyers were distributed, announcements were made, andsocial media was abuzz with reminders to participate. The goal was to ensure that everyone knew what to do in the event of an earthquake: to duck, cover, and hold on until the shaking stopped, and then to evacuate to a designated safe area.As the rumbling began, people across the city followedthe protocol. In schools, students and teachers alike dropped to the ground, protecting their heads with their hands and desks. In offices, workers huddled under sturdy tables, bracing for impact. On the streets, pedestrians quickly found cover underneath buildings or along walls.Once the shaking stopped, the evacuation began. People moved quickly and calmly, following the evacuation routes they had practiced. Sirens wailed in the distance, alerting everyone to the need to move swiftly but safely. At designated meeting points, families and friends gathered, checking on each other's safety and reporting any injuries.The drill was a resounding success. People had responded quickly and effectively, following the safety protocol to the letter. There were no major injuries reported, and everyone was accounted for. This was a testament to the hard work and dedication of the city's emergency management team, as well as the residents' willingness to prepare and participate.However, the drill was not just about responding to theearthquake itself. It was also about being prepared for the aftermath: checking for damage, assisting those who may be injured, and communicating effectively with loved ones and emergency services. This was particularly important given the potential for power outages and disrupted communication lines in a real disaster.One of the most valuable lessons learned from the drill was the importance of being prepared at all times. It was essential to have an emergency kit ready with basic necessities like water, food, and first-aid supplies. It was also crucial to have a plan in case of an emergency, knowing where to meet family members and how to contact them if they were separated.The drill also highlighted the role of community in disaster response. Neighbors helped each other, offering comfort and assistance when needed. Community centers and organizations provided shelter and resources to those who needed it. This sense of unity and cooperation was a powerful reminder of the strength of our community in the face of adversity.In conclusion, the earthquake drill was a valuable exercise that tested our readiness and response in case of a real disaster. It was a reminder that preparation and planning are crucial in ensuring our safety and the safety of our loved ones. As we continue to prepare for the unexpected, let us remember the importance of being ready, staying calm, and working together as a community.

While some people see it as a cruel and outdated practice, others view it as an art form and an important part of their cultural heritage.I understand the concerns about animal welfare and the ethical implications of bullfighting. It's definitely a complex issue, and I think it's important to consider all perspectives before forming an opinion.For me, the appeal of bullfighting lies in thespectacle and the intense emotions it evokes. There'ssomething primal and raw about the whole experience that I find strangely captivating.I've never been to a bullfight myself, but I can imagine the atmosphere must be electric. The cheers of the crowd, the tension in the air, the clash of man and beast it's the kind of drama that you just can't find anywhere else.。
