［2020·辽宁锦州中考］A man named Randy in Canada liked to hunt for trees. He looked for big trees and old trees in Canada. He made maps to show where these trees were. He did not want to cut them down. Actually, he wanted people to take care of them.

Ancient trees are today rare(稀少的) everywhere in the world. On Vancouver Island in Canada, there are so many big trees. The biggest trees are about 800 years old. They are the survivors of a forest fire. The fire brought damage(损害) to the area about 350 years ago. Randy was told of a very tall tree on Vancouver Island. The tree was said to be 314 feet tall. That would make it the tallest tree in Canada. Randy set out to find the tree.

But someone else found it first. It was found by a logger—a person whose job is to cut down trees. The loggers wanted to cut down Canada’s tallest tree and all the trees around it.

Randy made a path(小路) in the forest in order that people could see the tall tree. The tree was so big and beautiful that even more and more people wanted to save that forest. Thanks to these people, that forest is now a park. Canada’s tallest tree is still there.

Ⅳ 任务型阅读(共5小题，计10分)

［2020·山东临沂中考］On winter nights, the wind usually blows strongly. Most of us stay inside our warm homes. Few of us think about the homeless. These people have no choice but to sleep on the streets. Some of them are so poor that they have no money to buy food.

A young man in Birmingham, England, made a decision to do something about this. Every night, he puts on a Spider-Man suit and gives food to the homeless he meets. He makes sure that these people won’t go hungry.

The man refuses to make his name public. The local people call him the “Birmingham Spider-Man”. The young man hopes his action will show others that everybody deserves(应得) a helping hand.

The 25-year-old man started his night activities in 2015. Every night at 9, he buys some sandwiches. Then, he finds a quiet alley and puts on his “uniform”. After that, the “Spider-Man” starts handing his food out to people in need.

The man said, “I wear the Spider-Man suit in order to get attention.” Without the suit, few people took a second look at him when he was handing out food. When people see the “Spider-Man”, however, they come over and ask what he is doing.

“The Birmingham Spider-Man” has already got lots of attention. Many people have offered to give away money to him. But the young man never accepts the money. Instead, he encourages people to go out and help people in need on their own. He said, “If more people offer a helping hand, the cold winter nights won’t be so cold any longer.”

A Role Model in My Family

A role model in my family sets a good example for me.My grandpa is my role model. He is a good teacher. He always works very hard at his work. He gets up early and comes home late every day. At home, he is very kind to our family members. When my neighbours have some trouble, he always gives hands to them warmly.

He is very strict with me. He always helps me with my subjects patiently in his free time. In my memory, I always remember the day I got the first full mark. When I showed it to Grandpa, he smiled and encouraged me to make more progress. With his help, I have overcome a lot of difficulties and learnt a lot. So I have thought my grandpa as my role model in my family.
