2024年中考英语新热点时文阅读—科普知识
2024年中考英语新热点时文阅读-科普知识01（2022秋·江苏宿迁·九年级统考期中）Fresh green grass. Hundreds of colorful wild flowers. Water running into little pools. Birds making their homes in boxes. The 9,500-square-metre Augustenborg Botanical Garden may look just like any other well-organized park, but there’s a difference. It lies on the roofs(屋顶) of industrial and office buildings in the city of Malmo in Sweden.Green roofs are not a new invention. And now they are getting popular again. The common roofs of a mode m city have endless black surfaces(表面) with no life or water. Perhaps that’s why a garden on a roof becomes such a perfect choice for more people.Green roofs are not just pretty. They also help to moderate the city temperature. The high temperatures on common roofs in 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 heat-island 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 heatingand cooling in the building below.Also, a green roof takes in rain water, and protects the city drainage system(排水系统). ________ 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 as 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．what a green roof is like B．how wildlife is protectedC．what to do with a spare roof D．how to organize a good park2．The underlined word “moderate” in Paragraph 3 is the closest in meaning to “________”.A．raise B．check C．control D．record3．Which of the following is the best sentence to fill in the blank in Paragraph 4?A．A common roof is noisy.B．A green roof is alive.C．A green roof stops pollution.D．A common roof increases the cost.4．The purpose of the passage is to ________.A．introduce the change of green roofs B．solve the problems with green roofsC．show the amazing beauty of green roofs D．describe the advantages(优点) of green roofs02（2023·辽宁朝阳·统考中考真题）Chinese researchers reached the top of Qomolangma on May 4, 2022. They set up the world’s highest automatic(自动的) weather station at an altitude(海拔) of 8,830 meters. This helps them to study the influences of climate change on the environment.It is the highest automatic weather station in the world now. It has taken the place of the station sitting at an altitude of 8,430 meters on the south side of the mountain, which is the second highest now. This allows Chinesescientists to directly collect data(数据) for the first time from the top of the world’s highest mountain.Collecting and studying data from Qomolangma is not easy. But the data will give valuable information about the condition of local glaciers(冰川) and mountain snow. It will also help scientists study and understand the global monsoon(季风) system, so experts can make proper decisions about climate change.Yao Tandong, a famous expert, said Chinese scientists had set up eight weather stations from 5,200 to 8,830 meters above sea level. Half of the stations were set up at an altitude higher than 7,000 meters. “Along with strong government support and hard work by scientists, China has become a global front-runner in fields such as climate change.” Yao said.5．What is the altitude of the highest automatic weather station?A．5,200 meters.B．7,000 meters.C．8,430 meters.D．8,830 meters.6．What does the underlined word “It” refer to(指代) in Paragraph 3?A．Reaching the top of Qomolangma.B．The influences of climate change.C．The data from Qomolangma.D．The highest automatic weather station.7．How many weather stations were set up at an altitude higher than 7,000 meters?A．Two.B．Four.C．Six.D．Eight.8．Which statement(陈述) is NOT right according to the passage?A．Chinese scientists can directly collect data from the top of Qomolangma now.B．It is hard to collect and study data from Qomolangma.C．The second highest weather station is on the north side of the mountain.D．China has made great achievements in fields such as climate change.9．In which part of a newspaper can we find the passage?A．Science.B．Sports.C．Travel.D．Health.03（2022秋·山东济宁·九年级统考期末）Music plays an important role in the lives of people all over the world. That is why many wonder what influences their tastes in music. Could your music list show something about your personality?One study by Heriot-Walt University offered a possible answer by an experiment. Here are the results it found: Pop Music. Fans of top 40 pop hits are likely to be outgoing and honest. While pop music lovers are hard-working and have high self-esteem(自尊), researchers suggest that they may be less creative and easy to get worried.Rap or Hip-Hop Music. People usually believe that rap lovers are more aggressive(好争斗的), but researchers have found no such connection. They say rap fans are likely to have high self-esteem and are usually outgoing.Rock or Heavy Metal Music. Although sometimes rock or heavy metal music seems aggressive, researchers found that fans of this style of music are usually quite gentle. They can be creative, but are often shy and have low self-esteem.Classical Music. Classical music lovers are typically shyer but also feel comfortable with themselves and the world around them. They are creative and have a good sense of self-esteem.Though personality alone does not explain musical preferences, this experiment helps you know yourself and others better.10．What’s the purpose of the study?A．To know what kind of music people like most.B．To tell people the importance of listening to music.C．To show people which kind of music they should listen to.D．To test the relationship between a person’s personality and his or her music list.11．How might a person’s personality be if he or she is a fan of pop music?A．Quiet and shy.B．Serious and strict.C．Friendly and polite.D．Outgoing and honest.12．What kind of music does Mrs. Green like listening to if she feels relaxed about the world around her?A．Pop music.B．Rock music.C．Classical music.D．Rap music.13．What’s the best title for the text?A．Music and hobby B．Music and personalityC．Fans and music D．Researchers and music04（2022秋·湖北襄阳·九年级统考期中）My blood type (血型) is AB, which only 7 percent of Chinese have. I always thought it made me special, even though I had no real reason to believe that. But in Japan, blood type is usedWe all like to know things about ourselves, and blood type is just another fun way to understand why we do some things. Just have fun with it.14．Blood type is used to decide one’s personality in ________.A．Japan B．the USA C．the UK D．India15．A reporter would be a good job for ________ people.A．type O B．type AB C．type A D．type B16．What does the writer think of that blood type is used to decide one’s personality?A．It’s really true.B．Just have fun with it.C．Maybe we can take some advice to find a job.D．Believe it or not, it depends on yourself.05（2022秋·河南洛阳·九年级统考期中）Have you ever been angry at someone when you were hungry? If so, you’ve experienced “hangry (饿怒)” —some people get angry easily as they are hungry. The reason for this lies in what happens inside your body when it needs food.Everything you eat would be changed into different kinds of nutrients (营养物质) in your body. These nutrients would enter your blood and be passed to every part of your body and be used for creating energy. As time passes after your last meal, these nutrients in your blood drop. Also, your blood glucose (血糖) drops. Unlike other parts in your body, your brain totally depends on blood glucose to do its job. You’ve probably already noticed that simple things can become difficult when you are hungry and your blood glucose levels drop. You may find it hard to pay attention. For example, you may make silly mistakes in your study and homework. You might also have noticed that you can’t even speak clearly when you’re too hungry.Another thing that happens when you’re hungry is behaving impolitely and can’t control yourself, such as snapping at others. In that case, even though you may already try your best to avoid conflict (冲突) with important friends, you may still be too angry to control yourself when you are staying with the people you are most relaxed with. That’s why you may find yourself being impatient with your parents or friends.So what should we do to avoid being hangry? The easiest way is to eat something before you get too hungry. The best choice is to have some nutrient - rich and natural foods that help deal with hunger quickly and can be kept in our body as long as possible, but not fast food. The final way is to suggest that difficult situations should be dealt with after a meal, not before.17．When does “hangry” usually happen?A．When the body needs food.B．When nutrients enter your body.C．When the blood glucose levels drop.D．When it’s hard for you to pay attention.18．What does the underlined words “snapping at” mean in Chinese?A．称赞B．呵斥C．嘲笑D．帮助19．Which paragraphs tell the influence of being hangry?A．①②B．②③C．③④D．④⑤20．Which is one of the ways to deal with hunger?A．Eat something after you get too hungry.B．Stay with people you are most relaxed with.C．Deal with difficult situations after meals.D．Eat a little junk food before you are hungry.21．Who is the text written for?A．Doctors.B．Teachers.C．Parent.D．Students.06（2022秋·山东菏泽·九年级统考期中）Have you ever thought about why you are the way you are? And what does your personality（性格）connect with? Recent research has showed that the position（位置）in which we are born in our family plays a very important role in forming personality.The eldest childBeing the only child, the eldest enjoys all their parents’ attention. However, new parents usually expect to see their child do well. And the eldest child tries to meet these expectations. As a result, the eldest children are usuallypolite and traditional. The problems come with the birth of another child. Suddenly the attention they’re used to receiving becomes weaker. Then, they don’t feel safe and will try to do all they can to make their parents happy.The second childThe second child has no experience of life without a brother or sister, so they never know how their brothers or sisters feel when they suddenly have to share the attention. The second children are often more outgoing and always looking for ways to get attention. One of the most common ways to achieve this is by making people laugh and the second children are often the jokers of the family. Again, problems can appear when another baby arrives. Suddenly, the second child becomes the middle child and may lose a clear sense（意识）of where they are.The third childWith the birth of their third baby, parents will often feel this is their last chance to bring up a child. This means the youngest child, more often than not, is spoilt（溺爱）with attention and love. This can lead them to be very self-centered, believing that the world moves around them. They are always treated as the “baby” of the family so they don’t do as well as they could do. They like doing things in unexpected ways, so they are also likely to be creative. 22．What influences people’s personality according to the text?A．Birth place.B．Birth weight.C．Birth order.23．What does the underlined word “they” refer to in the text?A．The eldest children.B．The second children.C．The parents.24．Compared to the first child, the second child is _________ according to the text.A．more polite and traditionalB．more humorous and outgoingC．more creative and confident25．According to the text, if Tom thinks mainly about himself and always has new ideas, he might be _________.A．the eldest child B．the second child C．the third child07（2022秋·山东菏泽·九年级统考期中）It is said that tea can improve creative power(力量) of the literary(文学的) artists in ancient China.According to Lu Yu’s Cha Jing, tea-drinking in China can be traced back(追溯) to the Zhou Dynasty—tea was discovered by Shen Nong and became popular as a drink in the State of Lu because of Zhou Gong.Tea-drinking in China has a long history of four thousand years. As the legend(传说) has it, Shen Nong tasted hundreds of wild plants in order to prevent people from eating the poisonous plants. It is said that he was once poisoned but was saved by eating some leaves of an evergreen(常青的) plant with white flowers. Later, people called the leaves that saved his life “cha”.In modern times, people still keep tea-drinking as one of their everyday activities. According to the study, tea can also influence some modern illnesses. To those who have to work with computers for a long time, drinking tea can help them to recreate a new balance(平衡) in their bodies. And to those old people, drinking tea is also a good way to make them have a longer life.26．Tea-drinking in China can be traced back to ________.A．the Zhou Dynasty B．the Xia Dynasty C．the Tang DynastyA．供饮用的B．美味的C．有毒的28．What does paragraph 3 mainly tell us?A．The birth of tea.B．Tea became popular.C．Shen Nong was once poisoned.29．Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A．Tea can improve creative power of the computer workers in ancient China.B．Tea became popular as a drink in the State of Lu because of Zhou Gong.C．People don’t keep tea-drinking as one of their everyday activities.30．What is the main idea of this passage?A．The legend of Shen Nong.B．The history of tea-drinking in China.C．Tea can influence some modern illnesses.参考答案：1．A 2．C 3．B 4．D【导语】本文讲述介绍了绿色屋顶，并介绍了其好处。

专题15 阅读填表 （2023·江苏镇江·校考一模） On April 16th, three astronauts of the Shenzhou XIII came back safely after perfectly undertaking (从事) their task in the Tiangong Space Station for six months. Lots of people watched this exciting moment. The next day, China announced it would send its next spaceflight team to the Tiangong Space Station in June. The Shenzhou XIV team will be made up of three astronauts and they will take off from the Jiuquan Satellite Launch (发射) Center in northwestern China in June to the Tiangong and work there for six months, the same time as Shenzhou XIII did. Before the task, the Tianzhou-4 spaceship will be launched in May to transport the things astronauts will use like experimental materials to the Tiangong station. In July, the space station’s first lab called Wentian, will be sent up and the second lab named Mengtian, in October. Once they are connected with the Tiangong, the station will become complete. Then the Tiangong will have three parts—a main module (舱) with two large space labs. Afterwards, the Tianzhou-5 spaceship and the Shenzhou XV team will get there as planned. By now, Tianzhou-4 are being finally tested in the Wenchang Space Launch Center in Hainan Province. At the same time, the Shenzhou XIV and XV teams are in “very good condition” and have had a lot of training. Both will stay in space for six months and have spacewalks. China hopes to launch a large space telescope named Xuntian next year to fly alongside the Tiangong station. Furthermore, Chinese researchers are developing a new spacecraft much better than the Shenzhou series because it will be able to carry seven astronauts and more goods. China’s space station will become a big family and play a more important role in the study of the space. 阅读以上信息，用恰当的单词完成下面的表格，每空一词。 Title China’s space station

To solve the problem caused by it in modern working life, he came up with a great idea— the two-legged chair, which is to encourage the user to move at his or her desk.The chair just has two legs and needs the user to balance （平衡）it. Although it looks dangerous, it can stop people from felling while using it. But the chair is a little uncomfortable, as the user has to keep it balanced. It is also good for other parts of the body, just like an exercise ball（姿势）._________ Most people don’t get much exercise during the day. People watch a lot of TV and work on computers. Many people suffer from spine （脊椎）problems. Companies are coming up with new products in our houses to make our lives easier. But trying to offer people an easier life causes lots of health problems.According to Benoit, the design is not about making money in the furniture （家具）market. It is to provide a product which tries to encourage people to move their whole body. The practice of this special chair can make people change their bad habits. It will encourage people to try to be more active. 11．What does the underlined word “it” refer to?A．The two-legged chair.B．Moving at his or her desk.C．Sitting for too long.D．The great idea.12．Choose the best sentence to fill in the blank “ ________” in Paragraph 4.A．Sitting long is so common now.B．Doing sports is so popular now.C．Working environment is so hard now.D．Keeping healthy is so cool now.13．What’s the purpose of this passage?A．To tell people how to keep away from sitting too long.B．To tell people how to stay away from health problems.C．To explain why people suffer from illness now.D．To show a two-legged chair designed to make people healthier.03（2022·浙江·松阳县教育局教研室一模）There are many TV cook shows where you wish you could reach through your screen and taste the delicious recipes yourself.Now, Japanese scientists have taken a huge step towards making that a reality, with the development of a lickable TV screen.The device is called Taste the TV (TTTV) and contains 10 taste cans that can spray taste samples onto the surface of the screen. The different tastes in the cans can then mix to create tastes similar to those being shown on screen, for example, coffee or pizza.It is an experimental technology, produced by Meiji University in Tokyo, Japan, with its developers expecting a commercial version to cost about £650.Japanese professor Miyashita and 30 students have developed all kinds of taste types. In his version the 10 taste cans spray a mixture of samples on to a roll of hygienic (卫生的) film that is placed over a flat TV-screen.“During the COVID-19, this kind of technology can improve the way people connect and communicate with the outside world,” said Miyashita.“The goal is to make it possible for people to have the experience of something like eating at a restauranton the other side of the world, even while at home,” he said.Miyashita has also been in talks with companies about using his spray technology for applications like a device that can apply a pizza or chocolate taste to a piece of toasted bread.14．The passage tells us the invention of _________.A．tasty cans B．TV cook showsC．a film technology D．a lickable TV screen15．Paragraph 3 talks about_________.A．what the device includes B．how the device worksC．what the device is called D．why the device is invented16．The writer uses what Miyashita says to express the _________ of the invention.A．ways B．purpose C．conditions D．importance17．From the passage, we know that the device is _________.A．widely used now B．popular with the JapaneseC．still in experiment D．liked by restaurant owners04（2022·湖北·武汉外国语学校（武汉实验外国语学校）模拟预测）Malaria (疟疾) has been a deadly problem for humans since ancient times. Usually, people get malaria when infected mosquitoes bite them. Countless people have died from it. Chinese scientist Tu Youyou found an effective drug called qinghaosu (青蒿素).This year marks the 50th anniversary of Tu’s discovery. In 1969, Tu became the director of a national project to develop a drug against malaria. Her team took a unique approach. They went back to books about classical Chinese medicine. After reading more than 2, 000 old remedies (药方), Tu and her team collected over 600 plants and listed almost 380 possible remedies for malaria.One remedy, which is 1, 600 years old, uses the sweet wormwood (青蒿) plant to treat malaria. Tu found it effective and tried to extract (提取) the qinghaosu from it in order to make drugs. The extraction failed at first, so Tu returned to the classical books again and finally found a way. She used a low-temperature method to extract the qinghaosu and succeeded in 1972.After her team showed that qinghaosu could treat malaria in mice and monkeys, Tu and two of her colleagues volunteered to test the drug on themselves before testing on human patients. It turned out thatqinghaosu was safe. All patients in the tests recovered.

01：科学新知Future food-2023中考英语外刊原创题外刊原文：主题语境：人与社会话题内容：未来人类食物语篇类型：说明文Future foodIn March 2017, about 25 people were invited to a kitchen in San Francisco, California, for a tasting event. On the menu? Fried chicken, "This is some of the best fried chicken I've ever had," one guest said.The compliment was extra special considering the source of the meat. It had been grown in a lab by scientists from Memphis Meats. The company makes meat by safely extracting cells from animals such as chickens, ducks, and cows.Then it feeds the cells nutrients . Those cells grow and multiply, forming muscle, which is meat.Memphis Meats is one of several companies in the United States and around the world makingcellular (细胞的), or lab-grown, meat. Many people think it's better for the planet than raising animals for food. Others aren’t so sure.Why Cellular Meat?The world's populations expected to grow to nearly1o billion by 2050, according to the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization(FAO). That's almost 2 billion more people than there are today. Eric Schulzeis a vice president at Memphis Meats. He thinks feeding so many people will be tough. FAO says people could eat 73% more meat in2050."With current meat production methods, there aren't enough resources such as land and water to meet that need, Schulze told TIME for Kids.Traditional meat production also requires lots of cows. And cows release methane(甲烷), a gas which traps heat in the atmosphere, which contributes to climate change.Raising cows and other livestock takes up space, too. Currently, 77% of the world's farmland is used to grow crops to feed livestock (家畜) or for the animals to graze on（掠过；吃）. Using more land for livestock will lead to deforestation (采伐森林).But cellular-meat production requires fewer cows and less land. Schulze says the cells taken during one extraction can make more meat than any single animal could ever produce. Just how much land is needed? "You only need the land required for the facility” where the meat is made, Elliot Swartz told TFK. He's a scientist at the Good Food Institute, a group that promotes cellular meat and plant-based meat.核心词汇：pliment n. / v. 赞美，恭维× He's always criticizing her, and never pays her a compliment.他总是批评她，从来也不恭维一句。

参考译文：2017年3月，大约有25人被邀请到加州旧金山的一间厨房参加一场品酒活动。
有什么在菜单上？炸鸡，“这是我吃过的最好的炸鸡之一，”一位客人说。
考虑到肉的来源，这种赞美是非常特别的。
它是由孟菲斯肉类公司的科学家们在实验室里种植的。
该公司通过从鸡、鸭和牛等动物中安全提取细胞来生产肉类。
然后它为细胞提供营养物质。
这些细胞生长和繁殖，形成肌肉，也就是肉。
孟菲斯肉类公司是美国和世界各地生产细胞或实验室种植肉类的公司之一。
许多人认为这比饲养动物觅食对地球更好。
其他人则不那么确定。
为什么是细胞肉？根据联合国粮农组织的数据，到2050年，世界人口预计将增长到近100亿。
这比现在多出了近20亿人。
埃里克·舒尔策是孟菲斯肉类公司的副总裁。
他认为养活这么多人会很困难。
粮农组织表示，到2050年，人们可以多吃73%的肉。
舒尔茨告诉《儿童时代》杂志说：“根据目前的肉类生产方法，目前还没有土地和水等足够的资源来满足这种需求。
传统的肉类生产也需要大量的奶牛。
奶牛会释放甲烷，这是一种将热量困在大气中的气体，从而导致气候变化。
饲养奶牛和其他牲畜也占用了空间。
目前，世界上77%的农田用于种植或饲养牲畜。
使用更多的土地饲养牲畜将导致森林砍伐。
但是细胞肉的生产需要更少的奶牛和更少的土地。
舒尔茨说，在一次提取过程中提取的细胞所能产生的肉比任何一种动物都多。
