It is for friends, family, and co-workers to communicate and stay connected through the exchange of quick, frequent answers to one simple question: What are you doing? Users answer the question by sending short text messages called “tweets,” which are up to 140 characters in length. The short format of the tweet allows quick information sharing that provides a break from rising email and IM* fatigue. Users can send and receive tweets through the Twitter website, Short Message Service (SMS)*, or applications such as Tweetie, Twitterrific, etc.
Tweets are displayed on the user’s profile page (个人信息页面) and sent to other users, known as “followers,” who have subscribed to them. Twitter is a great way to keep in touch with people and quickly broadcast information about where you are and what you’re doing. For example, “I’m downtown and aching for some sushi. Anyone like to join me?” You can share information with people that you wouldn’t normally exchange emails or IM messages with, opening up your circle of contacts to an ever-growing community of like-minded people. That may explain partly the increasing popularity worldwide since the creation of Twitter in 2006. Besides personal use, Twitter has also become an important marketing
tool (营销工具) for celebrities, politicians, and businesses. It promises a level of intimacy never before reached online, and gives the public the ability to speak directly to people who were once on a pedestal. U.S. President Barack Obama is a perfect example. During the U.S. Presidential
Election (美国总统大选) last year, Obama and his team set up a twitter Election page, which contributed to his popularity. Now Mr. Obama is still the most followed Twitter user. 2009届初三英语同步试卷 时文阅读2009.5.18
（材料二）如今，手机的衍生功能可谓是五花八门：拍照、听音乐、 邮件……还可以看电影。 Putting Movies on Mobiles
Movies in the theater get their recognition at awards ceremonies such as the Oscars. But how about movies for phones? They are getting their turn at MoFilm*—the first mobile film festival. The first MoFilm competition received 250 entries from more than 100 countries. Entries were restricted to films that were five minutes or less in length—ideal for viewing and sharing on mobile phones. An independent jury then selected a shortlist of five film-makers. The winner was chosen from the shortlist by an audience voting using their phones.
New platforms The awards highlight the increasing impact that mobile phones are making in the entertainment industry. Many grassroots filmmakers start out with short films. They are frustrated by the lack of opportunities to screen their work. Therefore, mobile phones are increasingly being seen as a new platform for these short works. It is a good place for anyone who wants to express themselves and find a way to have that expression be seen by a wide audience. Just think about how many people have mobile phones in the world!
New technology advances MoFilm is pioneering content for mobile and online services that is a world away from Hollywood (好莱坞). The majority of films made for mobiles are now short in length, taking into account the screen size. However this could be overcome as technology advances. In the near future, longer films will likely be seen on the mobile phone. And there are mobile companies creating phones where users can watch movies at higher quality. 2009届初三英语同步试卷 时文阅读2009.5.18
Wherever you see movies, one thing is certain: The quality of work, the simple ability at story telling, and the thing that inspires someone to tell a story can really come from anywhere.
（材料三）近日，寻找类地行星的天文学家发现了两颗与地球极为相似的行星：一个接近于合适的大小，而另一个则处于合适的位置。
Earthlike Planets Found! They probably wouldn’t feel exactly like home, but the planets named Gliese 581e and Gliese 581d have a lot in common with the Earth.
Gliese 581e Two weeks ago, some astronomers said they found the smallest planet ever detected outside the solar system, less than twice the size of our own.
The planet is called Gliese 581e after the star (恒星) it circles. With its
relatively small size, it is likely to be rocky (岩石的), like Earth. Gliese 581e orbits its star in just 3.15 days, and lies outside a so-called (所谓的) “habitable zone.” The planet “probably doesn’t look too different to Earth, except that it will be very hot, because it is so close to its star.”

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. Gradually, qinghaosu became the first-line treatment for malaria recommended by the World Health Organization (WHO), saving millions of lives in China and other countries throughout the world.In 2015, when Tu was awarded with the Nobel Prize in physiology or medicine, she refused to take all of the credit (荣誉). Instead, she praised her colleagues and Chinese traditional medicine. She once proudly said, “Every scientist dreams of doing something that can help the world.”18．According to the passage, to find an effective drug called qinghaosu is ________.A．impossible B．uneasy C．unexpected D．complicated19．What do we know about the “qinghaosu”?A．It is extracted from the sweet wormwood plant at room-temperature.B．TuYouyou and her team spent three years finding it out.C．Tu and all her teammates volunteered to test it on themselves.D．It has saved millions of lives around the world.20．The underlined word “approach” in paragraph 2 probably means ________.A．idea B．way C．discussion D．drug21．We can find that Tu Youyou ________.A．took all the credit by herself B．did a lot and never gave upC．succeeded in curing malaria by accident D．won the Nobel Prize shortly after the success 22．We can infer that the writer’s writing purpose is to ________.A．praise traditional solution in China B．encourage young people to learn medicineC．show how the qinghaosu treats malaria D．make Chinese old remedies more popular05Liu Jichen, a student from Tsinghua University, has developed a WeChat mini-program called “Clear Plate”. ___23___ a meal, users can open the mini-program and take a photo of their ___24___ plates.

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.

He was a greedy man and loved gold better than anything else in the world.One day, he asked a god to give him more gold. The god decided to punish him and said, “Your wish is granted already. Everything you touch will turn to gold.”Midas was overjoyed when he heard this. The next morning, he got up early to test his skill. When he touched h is bed, it turned to gold. “Gold!” cried Midas, laughing like a naughty little boy. “It works!”Not only stones, flowers, and the furnishings of his house turned to gold, but，when he sat down to table, so did the food he ate and the water he drank.He was unhappy now. Just then his daughter ran up to him, Midas touched her hand. At once her body became cold and stiff. Midas was holding a gold statue!At last, he begged the god to free him from his wish. “Go to the river and bathe in it,” the god sai d. So Midas did, and the water took away his golden touch. He would never forget this lesson: gold did not bring happiness.This is a Greek myth. Nowadays, the idiom “have the Midas touch” means to have the ability to be successful, especially the ability to make money easily. Well, do you want to have the Midas touch and become a millionaire?（材料二）交换了衣服，是否也就交换了命运？The Prince and the PauperThe Prince and the Pauper by Mark Twain tells the story of Tom Canty, the son of a beggar and thief, and young Edward Tudor, the only son ofKing Henry VIII (亨利八世) of England.Tom’s life in the back streets of London is hard. He is forced by his father, John Canty, to go out begging every day, and if he returnsempty-handed, he will be beaten. Tom loves stories about nobility (贵族),and he always dreams of living such a life.One day, Tom’s daydreaming leads him out of the city of London, past the palaces of the rich, and finally to Westminster Palace (威斯敏斯特宫),where he actually sees Edward, the prince, on the other side of a fence. At the same time, the prince notices Tom and invites him into the palace.Each of the boys is fascinated (使……着迷) by the other’s life. Theyexchange clothing and discover that they look very much alike. The guard, believing that the prince is the pauper, pushes Edward out of the palace. SoTom begins to play (装成) the prince at Westminster Palace, while Edward, the prince, has to learn to survive (存活) in the harsh and violent worldoutside his palace.At first, Tom enj oys his new life very much, but soon he’s in trouble.People in the court (宫廷) become very confused about the “prince’s” rude behavior, saying that the prince is mad. Then Henry VIII sends two people to watch over (监督) the “prince” and to remind him of wha t he should do.With some guidance, Tom learns quickly and gradually gets used to his court life.In the meantime, Edward is living with John Canty and is forced to begand steal. One night, he manages to slip away (逃走) from the family.The scene then moves to a royal dinner, where Tom is told that Henry VIII is dead. Tom thus suddenly becomes the king.
