And that's not the end of the story. When a news reporter told the story of what happened on TV, Alexa devices(设备)in many listeners' homes woke up and tried to order dollhouses!Alexa isn't the only AI willing to serve you. Apple Homepod has Siri, Google Home has its Assistant, and the upcoming Galaxy Home device will have Bixby.

In addition, people with disabilities who are unable to use a keyboard or mouse can shop without any help.But voice shopping has its disadvantages. Unwanted dollhouses aren't the biggest problem. It's usually very easy to cancel an order or return products. The thing t hat worries some people is that these assistants are always listening. They have to be able to respond when you want them. So they listen for “Alexa” or “OK Google” or another order. When they hear it, they start recording the conversation. Some have worried about what happens to these recordings. Should companies be allowed to use them to learn about people's shopping habits And what if someone hacks(入侵) the device The CIA found a way to hack smart TVs to turn them into spies that listen all the time.

Scientists believe that we just need to turn on a printer in the kitchens and then we can enjoy our favourite food whenever we like.__②__ 5G network will allow many more people to get information. Big companies like China Mobile and China Unicom will start to offer 5G. It is said that 5G promises download speeds 10 to 20 times faster than 4G. For example, we can download a film within just 1 second. But with a 4G network, it takes a few minutes. There will be much bandwidth(带宽) and we can get unlimited(无限的) information.Underwater cities will provide more space. The earth is becoming more and more crowded. We may turn to underwater homes, which will be built as low as 15 kilometers below the sea.

It is a term for the Japanese words for “megaphone” and “translate”， which actually makes a lot of sense becauseit's a megaphone that can translate Japanese into several other languages in real time. When a user speaks Japanese into the megaphone, it recognizes(辨认) and translates what is being said immediately, and outputs the words in English, Chinese or Korean.It sounds amazing, and seeing it in action is wonderful, but Megahonyaku is not good enough. It cannot translate everything you say, as it only stores 300 common expressions, like “The train has been put off” or “Watch your step”. However, the Japanese company behind Megahonyaku promises to add new expressions regularly, which users can get on the Internet.The machine was designed to be used in places like transport stations, airports and places of interest, where quick and exact announcements are needed most. Around 30 Japanese organizations, including the police and guides, have been trying out Megahonyaku for about one year, but Panasonic says it will come onto the market on December 20th. Instead of selling these speech translators, Panasonic plans on renting(出租) them out for less than $183 a month on a threeyear agreement, and offering users future improvements and necessary services.Panasonic has also said that it may add support for other languages, like Russian, depending on customers' needs. Megahonyaku also includes a touch screen that allows users to choose the language they need their speech translated into.( )1. Panasonic has produced Megahonyaku so that ________.A. guides can translate Chinese into Japanese fasterB. Japanese companies can receive foreigners betterC. foreigners can talk with the Japanese freelyD. the Japanese can learn other languages easily( )2. The third paragraph is mainly about the ________ of Megahonyaku.A. inventionB. importanceC. disadvantageD. history( )3. It can be learnt from Paragraph 4 that Megahonyaku ________．A. may be popular with the policeB. is widely used in private homesC. will be sold on December 20thD. stores about 30 foreign languages( )4. According to the passage, Panasonic will ________ in the future.A. sell Megahon yaku to foreign visitorsB. bring down the price of MegahonyakuC. change the screen of MegahonyakuD. improve Megahonyaku regularlyPassage4(2019广安)Artificial intelligence(AI)(人工智能) is the ability of a computer program or a machine. The computer or the machine with AI can think and learn. It is also a field of study that tries to make computers “smart”. John McCarthy, a scientist, came up with(提出) the name “artificial intelligence” over 60 years ago. Many things such as learning and problem solving can be done by computers, though not in the same way as people do.An unusual goal of AI research is to create special computer programs. They can learn, solve problems, and think logically(逻辑地). At present, AI can successfully understand human speech, recognize(识别) human faces, operate selfdriving cars and compete in some game systems like playing Chess. However, some people consider(认为) AI a danger to humans if it develops too quickly.A famous British scientist also was not for this kind of technology.Math is the basic language of AI. If students are good at math, they will be more likely to become successful AI designers(设计者) in the future. We need not only bright students but also average(普通的) students. As for(对于) average students, if they get enough math skills, they can also become successful AI designers. Besides, a good knowledge of computer science is also necessary for AI designing.Scientists hope to create creative(有创造力的) and emotional(有情感的) AI. The AI can possibly understand human feelings or create art. Many ways and tools have been tried to discover this wide and exciting field.( )1. From Paragraph 1, we know that ________．A. all problems can be solved by computersB. machines with AI can think and learnC. AI has been around for only 60 yearsD. AI works in the same way as people( ) to the passage, what can't AI do at presentA. Understand human speech.B. Operate selfdriving cars.C. Compete in some game systems.D. Understand human feelings.( )3. The underlined word “it” in Paragraph 2 refers to(指的是)________．A. chessB. a scientistC. the dangerD. AI( )4. According to the passage, if students want to become successful AI designers, they should learn ________ well.A. math and artB. art and technologyC. math and computer scienceD. art and computer science( )5. Paragraph 4 mainly tells us the scientists' ________ about AI.A. wishesB. worriesC. feelingsD. discoveriesPassage5(2019舟山)Fresh green grass. Hundreds of colorful wild flowers. Water running into little pools. Birds making their homes in boxes. The 9，500squaremetre Augustenborg Botanical Garden may look just like any other wellorganized park but there's a difference. It lies on the roofs(屋顶) of industrial and office buildings in the city of Malmö in Sweden.Green roofs are not a new invention. And now they are getting popular again. The common roofs of a modern city have endless black surfaces with no life or water. Perhaps that's why a garden on a roof becomes such a perfect choice for more and more people.Green roofs are not just pretty. They also help to moderate the city temperature. The high temperatures on common roofs in the summer can make top floor flats uncomfortably hot. What is more, they play a part in making the cities hotter than the countryside around them, causing the “urban heatisland effect”. On a green roof, however, with its plants and water, temperatures change only a little, as they do in a park. This can greatly cut the costs of heating and cooling in the building below.Also, a green roof takes in rain water, and protects the city drainage(排水) system. ________ And small animals and birds can make their homes on it. Thanks to this, the city may become partof nature, rather than something completely separate from it.While the cost of building such a roof can still be higher, it can be cheaper in the long term as a result of energy savings. And wouldn't it be wonderful to be able to walk out into a garden high above the city's noise and traffic, whether you're at school or in an office or just at home in a tenfloor block( )1. With the example of Augustenborg Botanical Garden, the writer wants to explain ________．A. how wildlife is protectedB. what a green roof is likeC. how to organize a good parkD. what to do with a spare roof( )2. The underlined word “moderate” in Paragraph 3 is the closest in meaning to “________”．A. raiseB. checkC. recordD. control( )3. Which of the following is the best sentence to fill in the blank in Paragraph 4A. A green roof is alive.B. A green roof stops pollution.C. A common roof is noisy.D. A common roof increases the cost.( )4. The purpose of the passage is to______．A. discover the problems with green roofsB. introduce the change of green roofsC. show the amazing beauty of green roofsD. describe the advantages of green roofsPassage6(2019烟台)In 1987, a small company named Huawei was started in Shenzhen. After more than 30 years of development, the company has now beaten Apple and become the world's secondlargest maker of smartphones behind Korea's Samsung. It has also become the world's largest supplier(供应商)of 5G.But recently, Huawei faced some difficulties. The U．S. government ordered a ban(禁令)on its sales in America. American officials said Huawei gave information that it collected to the Chinese government. At the same time, the U．S. government planned to stop selling parts and services to Huawei, which was believed that Huawei's business would be hurt.“We have never received such a request from Chinese government and we have never tried to get into other system to collect information.” Ren Zhengfei, Huawei's founder and president said.“The ban from the U．S. would have little effect on our company. Huawei has enough ability to deal with the problems.” Ren added.In an interview several years ago, Ren Zhengfei said, “I started Huawei with only ￡4，000 at the beginning, but now it has become a $100 billion company.The__experience__was__not__as__romantic__(浪漫的)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, Huawei has grown into the world's largest telecommunication equipment(电信设备)supplier, selling in 170 countries. It may beat Samsung as the largest smartphone maker in the near future.( )1.

High school graduates and workers with no special training are encouraged to study in higher vocational colleges. Li said that the number of the new students in higher vocational colleges in China should go up by 1 million this year. This is the first time the central government has a clear plan.This comes after the news of the large shortfall(不足) in highly skilled technicians, although China has millions of technical workers. China is expected to face a shortfall of 3 million skilled workers who can operate the newest machines by 2020. The shortfall will grow to million by 2025. Also, vocational education is unsatisfactory(不令人满意的), although there are many vocational colleges in China. In some vocational colleges, the education methods and courses cannot meet the need of upgrading(升级) manufacturing(制造业). As can be seen from the job market, some companies still can't find highly skilled technicians even with high pay.To deal with the problem, some vocational colleges have worked with companies to teach students. They have hired skilled technicians from companies as teachers. With the rising of the skilled workers' social position and pay, it is believed the vocational education system in China will start to play a bigger role in the development of China.( )1. What's the main purpose of the development of modern vocational education in ChinaA. To train more highly skilled technicians for the job market.B.

But garlic(大蒜)growers in California are making more money.For many years, sales of garlic in California had been little because of the much cheaper garlic from China. This year, however, California garlic sales are rising because American government increases tariffs(关税)on Chinese products.Christopher, a garlic grower in California, is manager of his company and he said, “In a perfect world, we would love to see the tariffs on China.”Tariffs on Chinese garlic rose from 10% to 25% on May 9, 2019, and the reason is that U．S President Donald Trump increased tariffs on Chinese products worth of $200 billion. Since then, Chinese buyers have almost stopped buying soybeans from the United States and American soybean farmers are now getting worried.Not everyone likes the garlic tariffs in the U．S. Last July Christopher expressed his support on Trump's policy(政策). However, officials from McCormick and Company Inc. didn't agree with the policy. McCormick's CEO, Lawrence told Reuters(路透社)that without Chinese garlic America can't go. Actually, the trade war(贸易战)between China and America is a sign of American hegemony(霸权), and it will destroy American economy and U．S government will lose its trust from other countries in the world.( )1. From the passage we infer(推理)that ________．A. America is buying garlic from China as much as beforeB. American soybean farmers make money as much as beforeC.

It might look like fun, but there are reports that animals are hurt now and again. The World Animal Protection(WAP) says that up to 550，000 wild animals are exposed(暴露) to ill treatment around the world; in Cambodia, for example, it's been reported that elephants have died after carrying tourists for long in hot weather.

There were wolves and bears, many different kinds of deer and large wild cows. There were less than four million people. They lived in small villages protected by wooden walls from the animals outside.All this has changed, of course. Now the population of the United Kingdom has increased to sixtyfive million. Threequarters of Britain is covered with fields, towns or cities. Although 25 percent of land is countryside, new methods of farming mean that there are fewer birds and small animals living in fields than ever before. The United Kingdom is one of the few countries in the world that don't have a large wild animal that eats meat. In Scotland there are only 400 wildcats, but these are much smaller than wolves.Some people would like to change things, however! Some organizations and writers say that Britain needs to become more natural again. They suggest that trees and plants that grew in the UK before towns and cities were built should be allowed to grow again. They even say that large wild animals which have not lived in the UK should be helped to return and live wild. They call this “rewilding”．Not everyone agrees. In the last twenty years, over onemillion trees which at first grew in Scotland have been plantedand there are plans for more—but wild animals Some people askif wolves will attack sheep or even humans.

This is why they must be free. While museums need a huge amount of money to operate, let the wealthy pay for it. The idea of a person or child interested in art not being able to view it because of cost is wrong. Krista Chen (US)Age 15Free entry does not attract people or encourage them to appreciate art. Generally people respect things that are difficult or costly to get Museums should require regular visitors to pay a fee, but provide free tickets as prizes for highachieving students who can appreciate them more.Fred Smith (New Zealand)Age 14Museums teach people about their past. This is part of our shared culture that should be available to everyone, rich or poor. People should never be asked to pay an entrance fee.Rob Sanchez (Australia)Age 17There are no simple answers. Low ticket prices could help museums stay open. But companies and businessmen should also provide museums with more money and other support. They have a social responsibility too. Amber White (UK)Age 16I think museums and art galleries should all be free to the public.I do, however, think twice a year the museums should organize money-raising events to help pay for the cost of staying open.Li Mishao (China)Age 15( )1. How many readers support the idea of free museumsA. 2.B. 3.C. 4.D. 5.( ) suggests museums should regularly hold special events to collect moneyA. Krista Chen.B. Fred Smith.C. Rob Sanchez.D. Li Mishao.( )3. Why does Fred Smith believe that free tickets should be given to highachieving studentsA. Students will then study harder.B. Museums will attract more visitors.C. Museums can make themselves more famous.D. These students can better appreciate museums.( )4. Which of the following does Amber White agree withA. Businesses should offer museums more help.B. People should only pay what they can afford.C. Free entry doesn't encourage visitors to museums.。

In addition, people with disabilities who are unable to use a keyboard or mouse can shop without any help.But voice shopping has its disad vantages. Unwanted dollhouses aren’t the biggest problem. It’s usually very easy to cancel an order or return products. The thing that worries some people is that these assistants are always listening. They have to be able to respond when you want them. So they listen for “Alexa” or “OK Google” or another order. When they hear it, they start recording the conversation. Some have worried about what happens to these recordings. Should companies be allowed to use them to learn about people’s shopping habits? A nd what if someone hacks(入侵) the device? The CIA found a way to hack smart TVs to turn them into spies that listen all the time. Others could do the same with any smart device.What do you think? Are you ready to start voice shopping?11.From the passage, we know that Alexa . ( )A.can look after the babyB.can cook delicious foodC.is a toy doll sold onlineD.is one kind of AI device12.The underlined word “rare” in Paragraph 2 probably means .

A [2020·原创]AI is around us every day. From Apple's Siri to the software used in shipping companies, AI is very much a part of our lives.But why do we try to create machines that can think the way we do? 因为 AI 可以使我们的生活变得更容易。
Imagine being able to hop in a car, tell it your destination(目的地), and sit back in comfort as the AI-guided self-driving car takes you there. Imagine having an AI tutor that could help you with your schoolwork. AI may be able to provide an easy future life for us.However, there are still some risks. What if we somehow produced an artificial intelligence that was smarter than us? How would it behave towards us? These are the kinds of difficult questions that philosophers(哲学家) and AI researchers ask themselves all the time.But regardless of the possible risks, it is clear that AI is here to stay. Only time will tell if it will lead us into a new age of prosperity(繁荣) and peace, or be our ultimate(最终的) end.1.Do we heavily depend on AI at the moment?2.Please translate the underlined sentence into English.3.What will happen if AI is smarter than us?4.Please translate the underlined sentence into Chinese.5.What can we learn from the developments of AI in Chart Ⅰ?6.What is the main difference between robots and AI?B [2019·山西百校联考]Have you heard of the poem “Raising head, I see the moon so bright”, the idiom “Work by the light of the moon and stars” and the historical story “The Goddess Chang'e flew to the moon”? These all have to do with the moon. Since the beginning of time, the moon —our closest neighbor in space —has inspired not only artists but also scientists. Scientists have found there is no air on the moon and the sky is always black. The temperature of the moon changes fast, from a daytime average of 123℃to -233℃ at night. It is impossible for humans to live on the moon.There is one side of the moon that always faces away from the Earth. It's known as the dark side of the moon. It was a mystery to us all on the Earth. What is it like? Recently, China has taken a big step forward to the moon.The moon also has lots of resources. Scientists want to find out if we can bring them to the Earth in the future. Some scientists believe that we could build a research center on the moon one day. It could be used to help us travel even deeper into space and learn more about the moon.All this can't be done without astronauts. They make a great contribution to the exploration to the moon, and bring us closer to the moon.1.Translate the underlined sentence into Chinese. (不超过5个汉字)2.Why can't humans live on the moon? (One reason is OK.)3.What is China's big step forward to the moon?4.In the passage, the underlined word“It”refers to .5.Have you ever thought about being an astronaut? Why or why not?C [2020·原创]If you look at the top of your phone, you'll usually see a little symbolthat says 3G or 4G. The “G” stands for the “generation(代)” of yourmobile network. But these symbols will become things of the past after5G networks fully arrive.On March 30, 2019, Shanghai vice-mayor(副市长) Wu Qing made the first5G video call on a Huawei Mate X smartphone, CGTN reported. Shanghai hasalso become the first city in China to start testing 5G networks.About 100 times faster than 4G networks, 5G will let people downloadand upload data faster than ever before. But 5G won't just bring fastermobile Internet. People can use it for many other things as well.For example, 5G will help to make self-driving cars safer. Today's self-driving test cars have one problem—lag. When the car “sees” an obstacle(障碍物), it sends this information to a data center and receives instructions. However, it takes time to send and receive this information. With this kind of lag, the cars might crash because they don't receive instructions in time. With 5G, this lag will be greatly lowered, making the cars safer, according to CNN.5G could also be used to power the Internet of thing(IoT, 物联网). This refers to a large online network that connects all things and people. 快速的互联网速度将是发展这项技术的关键。

It is different between the north and the south.People from different places have their special taste.

It is a place for eating and shopping. Parents take their children to eat at street stalls. Young people shop around. Old people just sit around and chat.Today, with the popularity of social media (社交媒体) ye xiao is changing in some places. For example, in Hong Kong traditional snacks include red bean soup and mango pudding.

Last month Hong Kong officers found 131，000 kilograms of broken computers, TVs and phones sent from Japan.Things like these are called electronic waste, or ewaste. Dealing with them is not an easy job. Every time an old computer breaks down, it needs to be dealt with safely. What is worse, at present, broken computer parts are usually buried. It may be hundreds of years before they really go in the earth.Many places in China are polluted by ewaste. Guiyu in Guangdong Province is one of them. This town is named as “the ewaste capital of the world”. It has to deal with 1. 5 million kilograms of ewaste each year, from which it makes 75 million yuan. But it comes at a cost. Many of the poisons in ewaste find their way into the environment. An environmental group has found the air, the earth and the rivers in Guiyu badly polluted.Luckily, the Chinese government wants the country to change the situation. This year, China passed a new environmental protection law. Computer companies like Lenovo and Dell will be asked to take back their old computers. Hopefully, the problem with ewaste will be solved in the near future.1. The ewaste found in Hong Kong last month was from ________.A. FranceB. JapanC. GermanyD. Australia2.

The bike that the service company provides has GPS or Bluetooth on it, and those bikes can be easily unlocked with a smart phone and left anywhere in public. Bikesharing allows people to borrow a bike from one place and return it at another place easily.In some cities, we can see more and more people riding this kind of sharingbikes. It's very convenient to use the bikes if you have a smart phone. First, you have to download such an APP on your smart phone. Then what you need to do is to find a nearest bike through the APP, scan the QR code on the bike or connect your phone with the bike over a Bluetooth wireless connection. You will find the bike can be unlocked itself. Then you can enjoy your trip. What's more, the greatest advantage of bikesharing is that you can easily find one and never worry about where to park it. The cost of riding depends on the time that you spend. Normally, every hour you ride, you need to pay one yuan. It doesn't cost so much, does it?At the same time, some people park the bikes in their own homes. Besides, some people don't value the bikes. Now service companies are trying to solve the problem like being stolen.Technology and science have changed our social lifestyles. We have to say bikesharing brings us more convenience without doubt. And we also hope that people can not only enjoy it but also put it to good use.1.

However, we have not found life on any other planets yet.The earth is a planet and it goes around the sun. Seven other planets also go around the sun. None of them has an environment with air, so people and living things cannot grow. The sun and its planets are called the solar system(太阳系). The solar system is a small part of our galaxy(星系).Scientists have also discovered many other galaxies in the universe. But they are far away and their light has to travel for many years to reach us. It is hard to understand how large the universe is.So far, scientists have sent lots of spaceships to look at other planets in the solar system, and some spaceships have gone beyond the solar system.

We wanted to do something to make a difference. ”In 2014, When Kaitlin was thirteen, she visited Central America, and saw people going hungry and families living in houses made of cardboard. That year, we set Kids on a Mission, which has helped hundreds of people there.“The rooms were smaller than my bedroom, but there would be eight people living in each one,” Kaitlin said. “We also got to see the dirty rivers that those people were drinking out of.”Providing clean drinking water, food and clothes for people living in poverty is now an important task for Kids on a Mission. “This young lady is changing the hearts of people, and also changing the world,” said the headmaster of Kaitlin's school.1.

In exchange, some kids get allowances(补贴) or other rewards such as extra computer time.But some people do not think that kids should get rewards for doing chores. Susie Walton, a parenting educator and family coach, believes that by rewarding kids, parents are sending a message that work isn't worth doing unless you get something in__return. “Running any kind of household is a team effort, ” Susie said. “A home is a living space for everyone in the family. It's important for kids to see that we all have responsibilities in the house, and how they are going to keep it looking like what everyone wants it to be. ”Other people believe that getting a cash allowance or other rewards motivates kids to do chores, and it also teaches them real world lessons about how we need to work to earn money. There are also new applications that give kids points and digital gifts that can be redeemed (兑取) either online or in the real world. With the ChoreMonster app, kids earn digital points by completing chores that they can turn in for real-life rewards such as extra Xbox time or a trip to the mall. “Our goal is to encourage kids to earn rewards,” says Chris Bergman, the founder of ChoreMonster. “Kids need positive reinforcement (强化) to help motivate them. ”What do you think? Should kids be rewarded for doing chores? Or should kids help out around their house without getting anything in return?Write a 200word response. Send it to tfkasks 4 you @timeforkids. com. Your response may be published in a future issue of Time For Kids. Please include your grade and contact information of your parents or teacher if you want your response to be published.

2020年中考英语阅读理解专题复习(含答案)
2020 年中考英语阅读理解专题复习（名师详细剖析解题技巧+实战训练，建议下载保存）（绝对精品文档，价值很高，值得下载打印）一、解题技巧英语阅读理解是综合语言运用能力的一个重要方面，阅读理解题是占篇幅最长的、最耗时间的、生词最多的、单题分值最高的题型，当然，阅读理解也成为了学生们头疼的题型，下面就是初中英语阅读理解难点分析及高分秘诀，希望能助力同学们取得更好的成绩！初中英语阅读理解难点分析1. 单词不认识很多同学都有这种感觉，平时课本上的单词自己都掌握了，为什么遇到阅读还是有很多看不懂呢?这类问题被归结为单词量不够。
要解决这个问题，就是要多背单词，除此之外还要摸索规律。
第一、人名、地名没必要较真。
英语中有大量的词总是大写第一个字母的，而他们也大多属于专有名词，表示人名，地名，事件。
如Adela 、Manchester 、NATO 。
遇到这类词完全可以视若罔闻。
2. 前缀、后缀有规律英语中有些词通过前面或者后面加一些字母，就会变成另一个词。
如，regular-- irregular ，kind--kindness ，前者通过加-ir 变成起否定形式，后者通过在后面加-ness，变成了名词。
归纳起来，一般说前缀变词义（如肯否定），后缀变词性。
只要记住这个原则，平时在学习时有意识地去检验，积累各种加前后缀的形式，就不至于稍加变化就不认识了。
3. 有的词是需要摸索的在阅读题中，有的词是在文章中有提示的，因为英语写作有个潜在的规则，词语若非不得已，不要重复。
秉承这个原则，我们可以在文章的结构平行处找线索。
或是反义词，或是近义词，根据文章的具体情况，同学们不难做出一个比较有针对性的选择。
4. 考纲单词必须熟记。
大纲要求的单词、平时做题总是遇到的单词，生活中会经常遇到的单词，这些词是同学们发挥才智，施展所有做题技巧的基础。
没有特别好的方法，就是有恒心一直背：把单词表上的词分类，单独把不会的列出来，分批背，平时总是遇到又不认识的，用一本笔记本把他们都记下来，天天反复天天背。

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 know 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?

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? W e 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)。

Thank you very much. Thank you!Thank you for Principal Xu, all the teachers and most importantly, the class of 2019. If I can't make my speech fantastic, I will at least try to make it short.It's been nearly 40 years since I became a member of the navy. You may be wondering how I have won so many honors as a commander-in-chief. In fact, it all began from the half a 1 basic training,which I will never forget. The training included midnight swims in the cold water, days without 2 and long painful runs in the soft sand. I always felt cold, wet, sleepy and painful.The training also needed to find those who could 3 in an environment of stress, mess, failure and hardships. To me, the basic training was a lifetime of challenges that lasted six months. And today, I'd like to talk about one little thing, which I think is one of the most important points leading to great 4 .Every morning in the training, my instructors(教官) would 5 in our rooms. The first thing they did was to 6 our beds. The corners would be square if we did it right. The covers would be pulled tight, and the pillow would be centered just under the headboard.It was a(n) 7 task. But every morning we were required to make our beds 8 . It seemed a little funny, but the wisdom of this simple act has been proved to me many times over.If you make your bed every morning, you will have completed the 9 task of the day. It will bring you a small sense of success, and it will 10 you to do another task, and another and another. And by the end of the day, one task completed will have 11 into many tasks completed. Making your bed will prove the fact. If you can't do the little things right, you will 12 be able to do the big things right.13 the world can happen anywhere and anyone can do it. I can make sure that it doesn't matter whether I ever 14 a day in uniform. Even now, I still start my day with making the bed to perfection. So if you have an awful day by accident, you will come home to a bed that is made—thatyou made—and a made bed gives you encouragement that tomorrow will be better.In general, if you want to change the world, 15 off by making your bed.

2020年中考英语复习案【阅读理解细节题和推理题】及专练卷附答案解析
2020年中考英语复习案【阅读理解细节题和推理题】及专练卷应对阅读理解中的细节题和推理题一、做细节事实题的方法在阅读理解题目中，有相当一部分是考查细节和事实的题目。
这类题目相对容易一些。
这些题目有两个共同特点：(1)凡属针对特定细节的考题，其正确答案大都可以在阅读材料中找到对应的文字部分作为验证。
这一部分可能是一个词或短语，也可能是一个句子或相关的若干句子，但句式、用词和表达方式不同。
(2)干扰项往往是主体思想与细节混杂，正确答案细节和非正确答案的细节混杂，甚至真假混杂。
因此，要做好阅读理解中的确定细节和事实的题目，一要在文章中找出相应的信息点，二要排除干扰项。
二、做推理判断题的方法所谓推断，就是根据阅读材料中所提供的信息，推断出未知的信息。
即把有关的文字作为已知部分，从中推断出未知部分。
据以推断的有关文字可能是词或句子，也可能是若干句子，甚至是全文。
中考英语试题中的推断题主要有以下几种：1．事实推断这种推断常常针对某一个或几个具体细节，是比较简单的推断。
进行这种推断，要首先在文章中找出据以推断的有关文字，然后加以分析，尤其要悟出字里行间的意思。
例如：According to the passage,which of the following can you most possibly watch on T V?A.You often play football with your friends after school.B.Your teacher has got a cold.C.A tiger in the city zoo has run out and hasn’t been caught.D.The bike in front of your house is lost.在阅读材料中，有这样一段文字：Secondly,a news story has to be interesting and unusual.People don’t want to read stories about everyday life.As a result,many stories are about some kind of danger and seem to be“bad”news.根据这段文字，我们可以推断：电视报道的新闻故事必须是有趣的和不平常的。
2020年中考英语阅读理解专题练习《热点话题》(含答案)
2020年中考英语阅读理解专题练习《热点话题》新科技Passage1(2019台州)Brooke wanted a doll house and some sugar cookies. So the 6yearold asked Alexa to get them. Alexa wasn't her mom or babysitter. It was a voiceactivated home assistant powered by AI(人工智能). And it made Brooke's wishes come true. A few days later, much to her parents' surprise, a $170 dollhouse and four pounds of cookies showed up. They ate the cookies and gave away the dollhouse to a local hospital. And that's not the end of the story. When a news reporter told the story of what happened on TV, Alexa devices(设备)in many listeners' homes woke up and tried to order dollhouses!Alexa isn't the only AI willing to serve you. Apple Homepod has Siri, Google Home has its Assistant, and the upcoming Galaxy Home device will have Bixby. People who have these devices use them mainly for listening to music, checking the weather, and setting timers. According to a report from The Information, nowadays voice shopping is rare. But many scientists predict a boom(增长) in voice shopping in the near future. Is that a good thing?________. You can shout out an order as soon as you think of it, even if you are cooking, cleaning, o r driving. In addition, people with disabilities who are unable to use a keyboard or mouse can shop without any help.But voice shopping has its disadvantages. Unwanted dollhouses aren't the biggest problem. It's usually very easy to cancel an order or return products. The thing t hat worries some people is that these assistants are always listening. They have to be able to respond when you want them. So they listen for “Alexa”or “OK Google”or another order. When they hear it, they start recording the conversation. Some have worried about what happens to these recordings. Should companies be allowed to use them to learn about people's shopping habits? And what if someone hacks(入侵) the device? The CIA found a way to hack smart TVs to turn them into spies that listen all the time. Others could do the same with any smart device.What do you think? Are you ready to start voice shopping?( )1. From the passage, we know that Alexa ________．A. can look after the babyB. can cook delicious foodC. is a toy doll sold onlineD. is one kind of AI device( )2.

AI sometimes forgets people's ordersB. personal information might be hackedC. it's difficult to cancel or return productsD. the needs for products can't be satisfiedPassage2(2019宿迁)Technology is developing fast and it has become an important part of our life. Then what willthe world be like in the future?3D food will be both delicious and nutritious(有营养的). We can use 3D printers to print some basic materials. __①__ And we can go further. Scientists believe that we just need to turn on a printer in the kitchens and then we can enjoy our favourite food whenever we like.__②__ 5G network will allow many more people to get information. Big companies like China Mobile and China Unicom will start to offer 5G. It is said that 5G promises download speeds 10 to 20 times faster than 4G. For example, we can download a film within just 1 second. But with a 4G network, it takes a few minutes. There will be much bandwidth(带宽) and we can get unlimited(无限的) information.Underwater cities will provide more space. The earth is becoming more and more crowded. We may turn to underwater homes, which will be built as low as 15 kilometers below the sea. And the different temperatures at the different depths(深度) of the sea can be used to provide power for the homes.__③__ For us common people on the earth, the dream of travelling around space will come true. In the coming years, spacecraft will be as popular as buses, trains and planes. We can leave our home and enter space to take an adventure(冒险). And even we will get used to living there.A robot will be a part of life. Robots can do many of the same things as we humans do like driving cars. But they will be used in other areas as well. They will be able to think. They can tell the difference between right and wrong. They can feel sadness or joy. When we are lonely, they can have a talk with us like real friends.__④__ In a word, just as Jules Verne said, “Anything one man can imagine, other men can make real.”( )1.

It is a term forthe Japanese words for “megaphone”and “translate”，which actually makes a lot of sense because it's a megaphone that can translate Japanese into several other languages in real time. When a user speaks Japanese into the megaphone, it recognizes(辨认) and translates what is being said immediately, and outputs the words in English, Chinese or Korean.It sounds amazing, and seeing it in action is wonderful, but Megahonyaku is not good enough. It cannot translate everything you say, as it only stores 300 common expressions, like “The train has been put off”or “Watch your step”. However, the Japanese company behind Megahonyaku promises to add new expressions regularly, which users can get on the Internet.The machine was designed to be used in places like transport stations, airports and places of interest, where quick and exact announcements are needed most. Around 30 Japanese organizations, including the police and guides, have been trying out Megahonyaku for about one year, but Panasonic says it will come onto the market on December 20th. Instead of selling these speech translators, Panasonic plans on renting(出租) them out for less than $183 a month on a threeyear agreement, and offering users future improvements and necessary services.Panasonic has also said that it may add support for other languages, like Russian, depending on customers' needs. Megahonyaku also includes a touch screen that allows users to choose the language they need their speech translated into.( )1. Panasonic has produced Megahonyaku so that ________.A. guides can translate Chinese into Japanese fasterB. Japanese companies can receive foreigners betterC. foreigners can talk with the Japanese freelyD. the Japanese can learn other languages easily( )2. The third paragraph is mainly about the ________ of Megahonyaku.A. inventionB. importanceC. disadvantageD. history( )3. It can be learnt from Paragraph 4 that Megahonyaku ________．A. may be popular with the policeB. is widely used in private homesC. will be sold on December 20thD. stores about 30 foreign languages( )4. According to the passage, Panasonic will ________ in the future.A. sell Megahon yaku to foreign visitorsB. bring down the price of MegahonyakuC. change the screen of MegahonyakuD. improve Megahonyaku regularlyPassage4(2019广安)Artificial intelligence(AI)(人工智能) is the ability of a computer program or a machine. The computer or the machine with AI can think and learn. It is also a field of study that tries to make computers “smart”. John McCarthy, a scientist, came up with(提出) the name “artificial intelligence”over 60 years ago. Many things such as learning and problem solving can be done by computers, though not in the same way as people do.An unusual goal of AI research is to create special computer programs. They can learn, solve problems, and think logically(逻辑地). At present, AI can successfully understand human speech, recognize(识别) human faces, operate selfdriving cars and compete in some game systems like playing Chess. However, some people consider(认为) AI a danger to humans if it develops tooquickly. A famous British scientist also was not for this kind of technology.Math is the basic language of AI. If students are good at math, they will be more likely to become successful AI designers(设计者) in the future. We need not only bright students but also average(普通的) students. As for(对于) average students, if they get enough math skills, they can also become successful AI designers. Besides, a good knowledge of computer science is also necessary for AI designing.Scientists hope to create creative(有创造力的) and emotional(有情感的) AI. The AI can possibly understand human feelings or create art. Many ways and tools have been tried to discover this wide and exciting field.( )1. From Paragraph 1, we know that ________．A. all problems can be solved by computersB. machines with AI can think and learnC. AI has been around for only 60 yearsD. AI works in the same way as people( )2.According to the passage, what can't AI do at present?A. Understand human speech.B. Operate selfdriving cars.C. Compete in some game systems.D. Understand human feelings.( )3. The underlined word “it”in Paragraph 2 refers to(指的是)________．A. chessB. a scientistC. the dangerD. AI( )4. According to the passage, if students want to become successful AI designers, they should learn ________ well.A. math and artB. art and technologyC. math and computer scienceD. art and computer science( )5. Paragraph 4 mainly tells us the scientists' ________ about AI.A. wishesB. worriesC. feelingsD. discoveriesPassage5(2019舟山)Fresh green grass. Hundreds of colorful wild flowers. Water running into little pools. Birds making their homes in boxes. The 9，500squaremetre Augustenborg Botanical Garden may look just like any other wellorganized park but there's a difference. It lies on the roofs(屋顶) of industrial and office buildings in the city of Malmö in Sweden.Green roofs are not a new invention. And now they are getting popular again. The common roofs of a modern city have endless black surfaces with no life or water. Perhaps that's why a garden on a roof becomes such a perfect choice for more and more people.Green roofs are not just pretty. They also help to moderate the city temperature. The high temperatures on common roofs in the summer can make top floor flats uncomfortably hot. What is more, they play a part in making the cities hotter than the countryside around them, causing the “urban heatisland effect”. On a green roof, however, with its plants and water, temperatures change only a little, as they do in a park. This can greatly cut the costs of heating and cooling in the building below.Also, a green roof takes in rain water, and protects the city drainage(排水) system. ________And small animals and birds can make their homes on it. Thanks to this, the city may become part of nature, rather than something completely separate from it.While the cost of building such a roof can still be higher, it can be cheaper in the long term as a result of energy savings. And wouldn't it be wonderful to be able to walk out into a garden high above the city's noise and traffic, whether you're at school or in an office or just at home in a ten-floor block?( )1. With the example of Augustenborg Botanical Garden, the writer wants to explain ________．A. how wildlife is protectedB. what a green roof is likeC. how to organize a good parkD. what to do with a spare roof( )2. The underlined word “moderate”in Paragraph 3 is the closest in meaning to “________”．A. raiseB. checkC. recordD. control( )3. Which of the following is the best sentence to fill in the blank in Paragraph 4?A. A green roof is alive.B. A green roof stops pollution.C. A common roof is noisy.D. A common roof increases the cost.( )4. The purpose of the passage is to______．A. discover the problems with green roofsB. introduce the change of green roofsC. show the amazing beauty of green roofsD. describe the advantages of green roofsPassage6(2019烟台)In 1987, a small company named Huawei was started in Shenzhen. After more than 30 years of development, the company has now beaten Apple and become the world's secondlargest maker of smartphones behind Korea's Samsung. It has also become the world's largest supplier(供应商)of 5G.But recently, Huawei faced some difficulties. The U．S. government ordered a ban(禁令)on its sales in America. American officials said Huawei gave information that it collected to the Chinese government. At the same time, the U．S. government planned to stop selling parts and services to Huawei, which was believed that Huawei's business would be hurt.“We have never received such a request from Chinese government and we have never tried to get into other system to collect information.”Ren Zhengfei, Huawei's founder and president said.“The ban from the U．S. would have little effect on our company. Huawei has enough ability to deal with the problems.”Ren added.In an interview several years ago, Ren Zhengfei said, “I started Huawei with only ￡4，000 at the beginning, but now it has become a $100 billion company.The__experience__was__not__as__romantic__(浪漫的)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, Huawei has grown into the world's largest telecommunication equipment(电信设备)supplier, selling in 170 countries. It may beat Samsung as the largest smartphone maker in the near future.( )1. Which company is the largest smartphone supplier of 5G in the world?A. Apple.B. Samsung.C. Huawei.D. Nokia.( )2. Why did the U．S. order a ban on Huawei?A. Huawei's sales in America were growing faster than Apple.B. Huawei refused to supply services to the U．S. government.C. They didn't want Apple to sell parts and services to Huawei.D.

What does the writer want to tell in the last paragraph?A. Huawei will grow slowly.B. Huawei is full of hope.C. Huawei's sales will be doubled.D.

High school graduates and workers with no special training are encouraged to study in higher vocational colleges. Li said that the number of the new students in higher vocational colleges in China should go up by 1 million this year. This is the first time the central government has a clear plan.This comes after the news of the large shortfall(不足) in highly skilled technicians, although China has millions of technical workers. China is expected to face a shortfall of 3 million skilled workers who can operate the newest machines by 2020. The shortfall will grow to 4.5 million by 2025. Also, vocational education is unsatisfactory(不令人满意的), although there are many vocational colleges in China. In some vocational colleges, the education methods and courses cannot meet the need of upgrading(升级) manufacturing(制造业). As can be seen from the job market, some companies still can't find highly skilled technicians even with high pay.To deal with the problem, some vocational colleges have worked with companies to teach students. They have hired skilled technicians from companies as teachers. With the rising of the skilled workers' social position and pay, it is believed the vocational education system in China will start to play a bigger role in the development of China.( )1. What's the main purpose of the development of modern vocational education in China?A. To train more highly skilled technicians for the job market.B. To help vocational college graduates get higher pay from their work.C. To ask more people to live on themselves with technical skills.D. To encourage more companies to upgrade manufacturing.( )2. What is one of the problems of Chinese vocational education according to the passage?A. Higher vocational college teachers are not well paid and valued.B. There are only a small number of higher vocational colleges in China.C. The education methods and courses in vocational colleges are unsatisfactory.D. Some of the vocational college teachers are skilled technicians from companies. ( )3. The writer believes China's future vocational education is________．A. hopefulB. doubtfulC. unsatisfactoryD. worryingPassage8(2019安顺)Millions of American soybean(大豆)farmers in 2019 are losing money because China is not buying their crops any more. But garlic(大蒜)growers in California are making more money.For many years, sales of garlic in California had been little because of the much cheaper garlic from China. This year, however, California garlic sales are rising because American government increases tariffs(关税)on Chinese products.Christopher, a garlic grower in California, is manager of his company and he said, “In a perfect world, we would love to see the tariffs on China.”Tariffs on Chinese garlic rose from 10% to 25% on May 9, 2019, and the reason is that U．S President Donald Trump increased tariffs on Chinese products worth of $200 billion. Since then, Chinese buyers have almost stopped buying soybeans from the United States and American soybean farmers are now getting worried.Not everyone likes the garlic tariffs in the U．S. Last July Christopher expressed his support on Trump's policy(政策). However, officials from McCormick and Company Inc. didn't agree with the policy. McCormick's CEO, Lawrence told Reuters(路透社)that without Chinese garlic America can't go. Actually, the trade war(贸易战)between China and America is a sign of American hegemony(霸权), and it will destroy American economy and U．S government will lose its trust from other countries in the world.( )1. From the passage we infer(推理)that ________．A. America is buying garlic from China as much as beforeB. American soybean farmers make money as much as beforeC. China is still buying crops from America as much as beforeD. Garlic growers in California are making more money than before( )2. Why is less Chinese garlic bought by America this year?A.

According to the passage, who disagrees with the American policy of having tariffs on Chinese products?A. ChristopherB. Donald TrumpC. California garlic growersD. LawrencePassage9(2019福建)All over the world, thousands of animals are used for wildlife tourism. People travel to watch monkey shows, hug baby tigers and swim with dolphins. It might look like fun, but there are reports that animals are hurt now and again. The World Animal Protection(WAP) says that up to 550，000 wild animals are exposed(暴露) to ill treatment around the world; in Cambodia, for example, it's been reported that elephants have died after carrying tourists for long in hot weather. This is getting attention—over 100 travel companies have promised that they will no longer open up such__places. However, some people argue that animal tourism isn't always as bad as it seems. So what do you think?Group Yes●Animals weren't put on this planet for enjoyment. They should be free to live asthey choose.●The way animals are treated is often cruel and causes much pain. Even if treatedwell, they cannot act in the same way as they would in the wild.●We don't need wildlife tourism. We can see animals close up in their natural homein TV programs. There's no need to disturb(打扰) them in real life.Group No●It is enjoyable and educational for people to communicate with the wonderfulanimals. The more people know about them, the more they want to protect them.●Wildlife tourism brings money to poor areas and may be the only way for somepeople to make a living.●Not all animals are treated badly.

There were wolves and bears, many different kinds of deer and large wild cows. There were less than four million people. They lived in small villages protected by wooden walls from the animals outside.All this has changed, of course. Now the population of the United Kingdom has increased to sixtyfive million. Threequarters of Britain is covered with fields, towns or cities. Although 25 percent of land is countryside, new methods of farming mean that there are fewer birds and small animals living in fields than ever before. The United Kingdom is one of the few countries in the world that don't have a large wild animal that eats meat. In Scotland there are only 400 wildcats, but these are much smaller than wolves.Some people would like to change things, however! Some organizations and writers say that Britain needs to become more natural again. They suggest that trees and plants that grew in the UK before towns and cities were built should be allowed to grow again. They even say that large wild animals which have not lived in the UK should be helped to return and live wild. They call this “rewilding”．Not everyone agrees. In the last twenty years, over onemillion trees which at first grew in Scotland have been plantedand there are plans for more—but wild animals? Some peopleask if wolves will attack sheep or even humans. They are alsoangry that rewilding might mean an end to walking in the hills which so many people enjoy. So far there are no wolves or bears in Britain's forests—but soon there might be!( )1. What was the population of the UK thousands of years ago?A. About 25 million.B. Over 65 million.C. More than 61 million.D. Not more than four million.( )2. Why are there fewer birds and small animals in fields in the UK?A. Because more trees have been planted.B. Because there are more large wild animals.C. Because pollution is much worse than before.D. Because people use new methods of farming.( )3. Which paragraph gives opinions from “rewilding”supporters?A. Paragraph 1.B. Paragraph 2.C. Paragraph 3.D. Paragraph 4.( )4. What are some people against?A. Living closer to nature.B. Planting more and more trees.C. Helping large wild animals return.D. Building more villages and towns.( )5. What's the best title for the text?A. Making Britain wild againB. A trip to wild BritainC. An introduction to BritainD. Protecting the environmentComments：Should Museum Entry Be Free?With International Museum Day coming up, today we are asking readers: Should museums be free or should people have to pay for a ticket? Let us know ‘your view’．Museums are not only there for enjoyment; they are education. This is why they must be free. While museums need a huge amount of money to operate, let the wealthy pay for it. The idea of a person or child interested in art not being able to view it because of cost is wrong.Krista Chen (US)Age 15Free entry does not attract people or encourage them to appreciate art. Generally people respect things that are difficult or costly to get Museums should require regular visitors to pay a fee, but provide free tickets as prizes for highachieving students who can appreciate them more.Fred Smith (New Zealand)Age 14Museums teach people about their past. This is part of our shared culture that should be available to everyone, rich or poor. People should never be asked to pay an entrance fee.Rob Sanchez (Australia)Age 17There are no simple answers.

阅读理解(四) 社会热点+科学技术A [2020·原创题]Livestreaming(直播) is turning out to be quite a big trend. From playing video games to dancing to K-pop, streamers are making big money simply by sharing their daily lives with the world. Some streamers even become world-famous, especially e-sports players like Shroud and Ninja.I don’t really watch a lot of livestreams. When it comes to gaming, I’d rather play video games myself than watch someone else play them. But I understand that some gamers might watch them to pick up playing tips.Sometimes livestreaming is a bit vain. A lot of streamers are just doing it for the attention. That being said, I’ve also found some good streams. For example, one streamer I used to watch would hang a sign around her neck that asked for tips. When her tips reached a certain amount, she would put a metal bowl on her head and hit it with a wooden spoon. It was weird(怪异的),but I just couldn’t stop watching sometimes. I’d never seen anything quite like it before.Other streams can show us things that we wouldn’t usually g et to see. Since you can start your own livestream with just a smartphone, even people in the countryside can show us their lives. I’ve seen parts of rural(农村的) China that I would never normally see by checking out their streams. It gives me a look at a li festyle that I’m not very familiar with.1.Streamers are making big money simply by .( )A.singing and dancingB.playing video gamesC.sharing their daily lives with the worldD.playing sports2.The underlined word “vain” in Paragraph 3 means in Chinese.

The “G” stands for the “generation(代)” of your mobile network. But these symbols will become things of the past after 5G networks fully arrive.On march 30, Shanghai vice-mayor(副市长) Wu Qing made the first 5G video call on a Huawei Mate X smartphone, CGTN reported. Shanghai has also become the first city in China to start testing 5G networks.About 100 times faster than 4G networks, 5G will let people download and upload data faster than ever before. But 5G won’t just bring faster mobile Internet. People can use it for many other things as well.For example, 5G will help to make self-driving cars safer. Today’s self-driving test cars have one problem-lag. When the car “sees” an obstacle(障碍物), it sends this information to a data center and receives instructions.However, it takes time to send and receive this information. With this kind of lag, the cars might crash because they don’t receive instructions in time. With 5G, this lag will be greatly lowered, making the cars safer, according to CNN. 5G could also be used to power the Internet of thing(IoT, 物联网). This refers to a large online network that connects all things and people. Fast Internet speeds will be the key to developing this technology.The IoT could be used in a lot of ways. For example, with IoT, your refrigerator could automatically(自动地) place an order online for eggs when it finds that there are no eggs left inside. Who is building the network?China is racing to build a nationwide 5G network. China’s biggest telecom(电信) companies—China Mobile, China Unicom and China Telecom—are working on test runs of 5G systems in 17 cities across the country. China is set to become the world’s largest 5G market, with 460 million users by 2025, China Daily reported.1.In which city was 5G tested for the first time?
