时文阅读|中考英语阅读理解【答案页末】阅读理解1：疫情让我们反思当下的城市生活方式COVID-19has made people think harder about their relationship with nature.It has also raised questions about urban(城市的)lifestyles.The sharing economy(共享经济),working in open offices,living in crowded apartments and the food industry’s use of reusable products have made the perfect storm for a pandemic(大流行).Although the sharing economy might be good–it’s cheaper to rent than to own–sharing spaces and objects are great ways to spread the virus.How does one do“social distancing(和他人保持安全距离)”when they are expected to share cars,bikes,apartments and even the same offices?The trend(趋势)of using open offices,which can save space,is working against us.In this type of office,workers don’t have their own desk–everything is shared.Sometimes,computers and chairs are also shared,which is not hygienic(卫生的).Fortunately,more workers are working from home during the pandemic,but that won’t last forever.Reusability(循环利用)is a common practice in the restaurant industry.Reusable cups and chopsticks are often used.Unfortunately,reusable products increase the chance of spreading disease.For example,Starbucks recently stopped refilling(重新装满)customers’reusable cups in order to stop the spread of the virus.People like to be social.But the virus has made this more dangerous.We have to be careful about how we interact(交往)with others for now.Perhaps we need to rethink about our lifestyles to reduce the spread of future pandemics.1.According to the author,the strong point of the sharing economy is that_____.A.it lasts longerB.it costs lessC.it’s popularD.it’s hygienic2.Paragraph3is mainly about_____.A.how working at home won’t last longB.how shared offices can save spaceC.the hygienic problems of open officesD.the sharing economy trend3.According to the author,restaurants can spread the virus easily because_____.A.everything is shared in many restaurantsB.they use too much disposable tablewareC.many restaurants have poor hygieneD.cups and chopsticks are often reused4.The author probably agrees that_____.A.we need to change some of our lifestylesB.the sharing economy won’t last foreverC.no one can stay out of the sharing economyD.we shouldn’t stay away from shared products阅读理解2：山川异域，风月同天In late January,a donation of masks and thermometers from the Japan Youth Development Association in Tokyo to Hubei Province caused a stir on Chinese social media.This was because of the powerful poetic message written on each box:“山川异域，风月同天。

2020中考英语时文阅读训练——新冠肺炎肆虐让野生动物背锅

COVID-19 could cut wildlife trade新冠肺炎肆虐让野生动物背锅Conservation experts are saying that the trade in wildlife could be greatly cut after the coronavirus pandemic has finished. They say that the virus probably started at a market selling wild animals in China. The virus came from either a bat or an animal called a pangolin. It then crossed over to infect humans. The conservation group Humane Society International said: "The consumption of wild animals which can carry diseases that can cross the species barrier poses a real threat to human health." The Wildlife Conservation Society called for a ban of animal markets that trade in wildlife. It said: "Not only will this help to prevent the spread of disease, it will address one of the major drivers of species extinction."A spokesman from the Zoological Society of London said animal markets could be "time bombs". He said the markets can provide perfect conditions for new viruses to start and grow. He added that if we treated animals like goods to buy and sell, we would be in trouble again in the future. Scientists say many new outbreaks of viruses start in animals. About 75 percent of new infectious diseases come from animals. Recent examples include SARS, MERS and Ebola. Infections from animals cause millions of illnesses and deaths worldwide every year. An expertsaid the world must act soon, because, "realistically, it's just a matter of time before the next zoonotic disease risk emerges".材料来源：https:///news/science-environmen生词表conservation （自然环境、文物）保护pandemic 大流行病pangolin 穿山甲consumption 消费species barrier 物种屏障poses a real threat 构成真正的威胁address 解决处理extinction 熄灭Zoological 动物的，动物学的infectious 传染的realistically 现实地zoonotic [医] 动物传染病的emerge 出现，浮现参考译文COVID-19可能会切断野生动物贸易保护专家说，在冠状病毒大流行结束后，野生动物贸易可能会大大减少。

2020中考英语时文阅读训练（疫情相关）（含答案）篇目一Best ways to stay apart盘点各国的“社交隔离”举措。

To stop the spread of COVID-19, many countries are practicing social distancing (社交隔离). This means people should stay at home as much as possible, as well as stay at least 2 meters away from other people when in public, according to the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.Social distancing also refers to other ways of preventing the spread of the virus. These include studying online instead of going to school and canceling (取消) public activities.Many countries have set strict rules for social distancing. In Australia, for example, people who meet indoors must follow the “one person per four square meters” rule. This means that if a room has an area of 40 square meters, there should be no more than ten people in the room. In Singapore, people who don’t keep a distance of 1 meter in public areas may need to pay a fine of up to $10,000 (50,000 yuan) or up to six months in prison (监狱).There are also some more creative rules. In Panama, for example, men and women must leave their homes on different days, two hours at a time. In some Colombian towns, people can only go outside at certain times based on (基于) the last number of their national ID number. For example, people with an ID number ending in 0, 7 or 4 can leave the house on Monday, while those with an ID number ending 1, 8 or 5 can go outside on Tuesday.一、True or false1.People can stay at least 1.5 meters away from other people when in public.2.The students are studying online instead of going to school.3.People still can hold public activities during social distancing4.P eople who meet indoors must follow the “one person per four square meters” rule in Singapore.5.In Panama, men and women can leave their homes in one day.6.People with an ID number ending in 0, 8 or 4 can leave the home On Monday.二、Choose the answer1.In Australia, only _____ people should be allowed in a100-square-meter room.A. 4B. 10C. 20D. 252.In Singapore, people will be punished with _____ if they come within 1 meter of another person.A. six months in jailB. a fine of $50,000C. ten months in jailD. a fine of $100,0003.What do we know about social distancing?A.

2023年中考英语热点时文阅读16 中国历史故事(一)

2023年中考英语新热点时文阅读-中国历史故事（一）01（2022年湖北省宜昌市中考英语试题）The brush pen, one of the “Four Treasures of the Study”, was invented thousands of years ago. However, the oldest pen was just a stick or a piece of bamboo. It was difficult for people to write well on thin silk.It is said that Meng Tian, a general of the Kingdom (王国) Qin, improved the pen. When Meng was leading an army to fight against the Kingdom of Chu, he had to report the situation to his king in time. But his pen was too hard and caused him much trouble, so he was thinking of ways to improve it.One day after hunting (狩猎), Meng made his way home with some wild rabbits on the horse back. Fat and heavy, one rabbit’s tail left a long trail (痕迹) on the ground when they moved on. Suddenly a good idea came to his mind when he saw it, “If I tie the rabbit’s hair to a stick, would it be easy to write with?”On arriving home, he tied the rabbit’s hair to a stick and tried writing with it. But the rabbit’s hair was too smooth to write well and wasted a lot of silk. Meng was so disappointed that he threw away his “invention” into a stone hole in the yard.However, Meng never gave up and kept trying all the time. A few rainy days later, he happened to find his “invention” fatter in a stone hole. He picked it up with hope. The brush worked beautifully on silk. It turned out that the special water had cleaned the oil from the hair. Meng succeeded at last.Thanks to Meng, the brush pen is playing a key role in Chinese culture. Today, students are taught to use the brush pens in school.

He was very talented and forward-thinking. He worked out a series of reform plans for the state, including focusing on farming and giving rewards to soldiers who were successful during war.But at the beginning, these reforms were not easily carried out. Only a few people in the state understood Shang’s talent and advantages of his plans. Most people had little trust and confidence in him.To solve this problem, Shang came up with an idea. He ordered some soldiers to put a thin wooden pole at the south gate of the Qin state capital. This attracted many people. Then, in front of the crowd, he said loudly, “People of Qin, here is my offer. Whoever takes this pole to the north gate will get a reward of 10 gold pieces.”It was a simple task and the reward was big. Some time passed and no one stepped forward. They all thought that Shang was joking.Hearing no answer, Shang stepped forward and said, “I will increase the reward to 50 gold pieces.”This offer was even more unbelievable. Finally, a man from the crowd came forward to take the pole. He put the pole on his shoulders and walked to the north gate. True to his word, Shang paid the man 50 gold pieces.Word spread about what had happened in the capital. Soon, the people were saying that Shang was a man of his word.

He reminded Lu Su not to tell Zhou Yu what was happening.When Lu Su came again to see Zhuge Liang, he found nothing unusual. Nothing happened on the second day, either. In the small hours（凌晨）of the third day, Zhuge Liang invited Lu Su for a boat ride. The 20 boats were tied together with strong ropes. Zhuge’s fleet went towards the camp of Cao Cao. The surface of the river was covered with thick mist（雾）all over. People could hardly see each other on the river. When Zhuge’s fleet got close to the Cao camp before dawn（黎明）, Zhuge Liang ordered his soldiers to shout and beat drums heavily to pretend an attack. But Zhuge and Lu Su only sat inside one boat drinking wine to enjoy themselves.As soon as the Cao camp heard the shouting and drum beating, they mistook it for a surprise attack by the Zhou Yu camp. Since they could see nobody on the river, they had to order 3,000 soldiers to shoot arrows to stop the unexpected attack. The front of the scarecrows was quickly full of arrows. After a while, Zhuge Liang had his fleet turned around to get the other side of the scarecrows to face the Cao camp. When both sides were full of arrows, the day broke. Zhuge Liang ordered his soldiers to return. The soldiers shouted in excitement, “Thank you, Cao Cao, for your arrows.” After they got back to their camp, they collected more than 100,000 arrows in total from the scarecrows.10．How many days did Zhuge Liang need to make 100,000 arrows?A．One day.B．Two days.C．Three days.D．Ten days.11．The underlined word “feet” probably means _________ in Chinese.A．船帆B．甲板C．船浆D．船队12．Who created the idea to get the arrows?A．Zhou Y u.B．Zhuge Liang.C．Lu Su.D．Cao Cao.13．The soldiers in the Cao camp shot arrows because _________.A．the Zhou Yu camp started an attackB．they could see each other on the riverC．they mistook the shouting and beating for a surprise attackD．Lu Su beat the drums14．How did Zhou Yu probably feel after Zhuge Liang returned with over 100,000 arrows?

The 28-year-old man could not move his arms, hips and legs after an accident. Doctors fitted him with a special robotic exoskeleton - this is a machine that covered his arms, legs and body. The machine was attached to the ceiling so the man could keep his balance and not fall over. He controlled the machine using high-tech sensors that were implanted near his brain. The man used his thoughts to tell the sensors to move the machine. His brain sent messages to the machine and it moved his arms and legs. He was able to walk a few steps using the machine even though he was paralyzed.Doctors say they are in the early stages of developing this technology. They believe robotic exoskeletons will help disabled people to live better lives in the future. Technology will be able to pick up signals from the brain to control wearable robotic technology. The next stage is to remove the ceiling harness. A neurosurgeon who co-led the exoskeleton trial commented on the exoskeleton suit. He said it was the first wireless, brain-controlled system to be designed that can move allfour limbs. The man was very happy with the test. He said: "I can't go home tomorrow in my exoskeleton, but I've got to a point where I can walk.

Science can help us win
科学能帮助我们赢得胜利
It’s not just doctors, but also scientists who are working to study the virus from scratch (从头开始).
Chinese scientists have reacted(反应) quickly to deal with the novel coronavirus. On Jan 11 – 12 days after getting a sample(样本) from an infected patient – scientists in Wuhan released the genetic sequence(基因序列) of the novel coronavirus, the key to understanding the virus. They shared this data with scientists around the world.
Around Jan 14, several companies created nucleic acid test kits(核酸检测盒) to help identify(识别) suspected(疑似的) infections. The Kehua Biochemical Company made the first kits. The kits take 1.5 to 3 hours to provide results from samples taken from patients. Now 10 companies are making 1.7 million testing kits every day, according to the National Medical Products Administration.
Scientists are still looking for new medications and treatments. They have found that plasma(血浆) from recovered(康复的) patients has antibodies(抗体) that can stop the virus. As of Feb 28, 91 patients had seen improvements in their symptoms(症状) thanks to plasma from recovered patients, according to the National Health Commission.
Some kinds of traditional Chinese medicine are being used to treat patients, while five drugs are in clinical trials(临床试验), or human testing.
However, the best way to end the epidemic is through vaccination(接种疫苗). Vaccines can stimulate(激活) the immune system(免疫系统) and fight the disease. But it can take as many as 5 to 10 years to develop a vaccine. Scientists have to test new vaccines on animals and then on humans.
Chinese scientists have isolated(分离) strains(株) of the virus, the basic(基础的) ingredient to make vaccines. Potential(有潜力的) vaccines are set to begin clinical trials as early as late April or May, according to the National Health Commission. With the shared virus data, scientists in other countries are also working on it. US company Moderna Therapeutics started human trials of a potential vaccine on Feb 24.
Supercomputers help study
Supercomputers can run calculations(计算) faster than ordinary ones. China’s fastest supercomputer has a processing speed of 93.0 petaflops(千万亿次) per second. Scientists are now
using supercomputers to look for possible drugs. They make programs and let them run on the supercomputers to find possible drugs. The computers can also analyze(分析) the genetic data of the virus and help scientists develop vaccines. Companies like Tencent have opened up their supercomputers to scientists who are studying the virus. It is hoped that this will allow scientists to develop a vaccine more quickly.
