They told stories about treasure hidden in South America. One of the stories was about a city called El Dorado (“the city of gold”) which was somewhere in Colombia. The story said that the local people painted their king with gold once a year. The king then washed off all the gold in a lake. When people in Europe heard this story, they began to talk about finding this lake and taking away the gold and treasure left on the bottom. The west of South America was ruled by the Incas (印加人), who built great temples and palaces out of gold and shining treasure. The Spanish king heard about this. He sent his general, Francisco Pizarro, to South America to bring all their treasure back to Europe. Pizarro and his army landed in South America and soon caught the Incas' emperor. Pizarro required plenty of gold in exchange for the emperor. However, before Pizarro got the gold, he broke his word and killed the emperor. After that, many Incas ran away into the mountains. They took their treasure with them. One of the places they went to was Machu Picchu. This is sometimes called the “lost city of the Incas” because it was hidden for centuries in thick forest. It was discovered in 1911, but no treasure was found there. Some people still believe that there are more cities full of gold hidden in South America. Many explorers have set out to try to find them. Some have never returned. Perhaps many more will continue to look for “EI Dorado” and the “lost” treasure. 16. What does “EI Dorado” mean according to the passage? A. It was a city in Colombia.  B. It was an emperor of Inca.  C. It was a general from Europe.  D. It was a palace filled with treasure. 17. Where did the story about the Incas happen? A. In North America.  B. In South America.  C.

The Gold Mountains（B）Nutrition Labels(标签)Before 1994, food companies were not required to print nutrition information, or how healthy the food was, on the bag. But a new law required all food companies to print the same kind of label on each pack to show people exactly what they were eating. All labels now list food amounts(数量)as a percentage of Daily Value. The daily value is the amount of something, such as sugar, people should eat each day as partof a healthy diet.               20.

He lost his right leg. After that, the young manmade the decision to study hard. In 2006, Sun went to university and studied material forming and control engineering. In 2009, he went to Japan for further study. I started to wear a prosthesis(假肢)two years after I arrived in Japan and it took quite a long time to get used to, ”he said. The experience wasn't very comfortable. He would fall over when he tried to walk fast. In 2013, he became up with the idea of creating a smarter prosthesis that used robotics. In 2018, he founded BionicM in Shenzhen. Sun's robotic prosthesis got him fame and won him the Red Dot: Best of the Best prize in 2020. The biggest challenge for him was how to make the body and the prosthesis work together. Most man-made prostheses(prosthesis的复数)are made to work like bones(骨头)Sun's invention, however, works like adding mechanical muscle(机械肌肉). “The prosthesis we've created has a mind of its own and allows people to move by sensing what they want, ”he said. “There are about4 million people in China who cannot walk, ”he added. “But most prostheses are too expensive. I didn't start my company for the money, but to make a product that is useful to society, ”he said, According to Sun, the robotic knee that his company produces is priced at around 300, 000 yuan per pair, while similar products sold elsewhere for around 800, 000 yuan. Sun hopes that by raising more money, he'll be able to produce more prostheses and help more people. 23. Why did Sun Xiaojun lose his leg? A. He was born disabled.   B. He got a terrible illness.  
 C. He had an accident.   D. He experienced an earthquake. 24. When did Sun Xiaojun first use a prosthesis? A. In2006.  B. In2009.  C. In2011.  D. In2013. 25. What's the purpose of Sun Xiaojun's company? A. To make more money for his family.  B. To help more disabled people to walk.  C. To find more inventors to do his research.  D. To make himself a more comfortable prosthesis. 26. How is Sun Xiaojun's invention different from other products on the market? A. It's much more expensive than all the other products.  B. It's more comfortable to wear than most other products.  C. It has mechanical muscle and can be controlled by a robot.  D. It has a mind of its own and allows people to move more freely.  （D）There are many games in which two teams compete to get control of a ball and shoot it into the other net to score a goal. Among them, one is played in the Summer Olympic Games, and its name is “hockey”. The first sport we know like hockey was played in Egypt over 4, 000years ago. There are no records of the modern game until its appearance in English schools in the 18th century, and the first hockey club was formed in 1849 in London. During this time the game became popular among British soldiers, and they introduced it to many other countries. To this day, hockey is popular around the world. In the hockey match, players use sticks to hit, push, pass a small, hard ball. Each team has up to 16players, of which 11 can be on the pitch(赛场)at one time. These include a goalkeeper plus 10 field players”. Field players must not use any body part to control the ball. Only goalkeepers can use their hands and feet to block(阻截)or hit the ball. A hockey match usually lasts 70 minutes, with two 35-minute halves. The team with the most goals is the winner. Games can end in a draw, but if a winner must be found, such as in the World Cup or at the Olympics, a tied match will go into extra time, which is similar to some soccer games. The most important competitions for hockey are the Olympic Games, the Hockey World Cup, and the Commonwealth Games. All of these competitions are held once every four years. The biggest of hockey's yearly competitions is the Sultan Azlan Shah Hockey Tournament. It's been held in Malaysia every year and teams from all over the world come to take part in it. 27.

How many players will play on the pitch at one time in one game? A. Ten.  B. Eleven.  C. Sixteen.  D. Twenty-two. 29. What does the underlined word “draw” in Paragraph4 most probably mean? A. The situation that one team doesn't score any goal in a game.  B. The situation that both teams score the same goals in a game.  C. The situation that both teams lose players because they break the rules.  D. The situation that the players hurt the coaches by accident. 30. What might be the structure of the passage?

The planet, called Kepler-186f, is slightly (no more than 10%)larger than ours and probably has seasons like the earth does. But while this news is exciting, there is a lot that we still don't know about Kepler-186f.NASA-the organization that found the new planet-is always looking for planets with similar conditions to the earth's. Space scientists Thomas Barclay says that we should think of Kepler-186f as an "Earth Twin". Like our planet, it is made of rock. It is also likely to have water on its surface, which is unusual, but in many ways Kepler-186f is different from the earth.The earth takes 365 days to go around the sun while Kepler-186f only takes 130 days to go around its star. The earth is brighter, too. At midday on Kepler-186f, the sky would look the same as during our sunset. And scientists don't yet know about the temperature on the new planet. There is a good chance that Kepler-186f is much hotter than the earth.Unfortunately, humans will not be traveling to Kepler-186f any time soon. It is 500 light-years away, so the journey would take a lot more than 500 years. NASA is still looking for other liveable planets which are closer and easier to understand.1. According to the passage, the earth is________ than Kepler-186fA. larger               B.brighter              C. wetter           D. hotter2. The second paragraph mainly talks about________.A. the organization called NASA in the USB. the differences between the two planetsC. human's journey to Kepler-186f in the futureD the similar conditions between the two planets 3. What stops humans from traveling to Kepler-186f soon?A. Hard surface.        B. Long distance.         C. Bad weather.      D. High temperature.3. What's the writer's purpose in writing the passage?A. To introduce a new planet.B. To compare the new planet with the sun.C. To discover an organization.D. To ask people to travel to Kepler-186f.CIt's been said that good cooking is an art form. The truth is that it's much more than that. It's away to teach kids necessary 21st century skills. It invites kids to make connections to the outside world by asking, "Where does our food come from? "and "What is the history of this recipe?" And it allows them to apply what they are learning at school in their real life.They also test the math skills of young chefs. Measuring ingredients (原料) is a common task in cooking or baking. Cooking also brings science ideas to life. It is a perfect chance for them to learn that oil and water don't usually mix.Recipe failures (失败) matter as much as the successes, as they help kids develop resilience(韧性). When Helen, 11, took her cake out of the oven, she was disappointed to find that it was flat as a board. Her father told her about how he accidentally made cookies with garlic powder instead of powdered ginger(姜) when he was twelve. Then they worked together a few times to find out what had gone wrong with her cake.Beyond the practical skills， cooking builds character. It encourages kids to work with others. It also encourages them to be open to foods they might not have tried. Jad, 11, had never eaten quinoa (藜麦) before testing a recipe with quinoa in it. His parents reported that he was so excited about this new ingredient that he cooked it for his family the next night. Of course, the best part of cooking with kids isn't the skills above. It's the memories you make together in the kitchen. This year, Olive and his family have already done a lot of holiday baking, including their favorite chocolate-chip cookies. They both felt excited even though the kitchen was in a mess.1. The passage mainly talks about the advantages of __________ .
A. skills     B. cooking     C. science     D. families
2. The underlined word "apply" in Paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to __________ .
A. teach     B. finish       C. use        D. answer
3. The best part of cooking with children is __________ .
A. to make children learn math        B. to help children learn from failures
C. to improve children's cooking skills   D. to create sweet family memories
4. In the passage, the writer shows his ideas by __________ .
A. asking questions                  B. giving exampleC. listing numbers                  D. making up storiesDFor both musicians and their fans, it's hard to say no to the excitement of a live concert. For fans, staying with others who share the same hobby and seeing their favorite musicians face to face are so exciting. For musicians, concert tours allow them to connect with their listeners and make big money.So what happens when live tours are no longer possible? In early 2020， governments stoppedpeople from traveling and staying together because of COVID-19(新冠病毒). Tours and concerts were cancelled, leaving both musicians and fans disappointed.But musicians are creative, and technology can bring people together in ways that were impossible just ten years ago. And so one performer after another began to offer online concerts.These online concerts were simple. Musicians just filmed themselves playing in their houses. They livestreamed (直播) their songs and listeners loved these online events. Online concerts are a great way for musicians to connect with their fans during a difficult time. In addition, they are a great way to bring people together. Although some online concerts require payment, most of them are free. And this raises questions about whether they will continue when live concerts come back.It is easy for artists to offer free music online when no one can leave their homes. But long-term, it can stop them from selling CDS or tickets to live shows. However, free online concerts may be a good way for bands to win new fans. People who might not normally listen to an artist's music may meet an online concert accidentally. This increases the number of people buying a musician’s music. Free concerts can be a good business decision after all.1. The underlined word"them"in the first paragraph refers to __________ .
A. governments     B. listeners     C. musicians     D. concert tours
2.What’s the advantage of online concerts according to the passage?
A. Fans can see their favorite musicians face to face.
B. People can be brought together during a hard time.
C. Musicians can travel around to give free concerts.
D. Fans will surely buy more CDS and tickets to live concerts.
3. What's the writer’s opinion towards the future of free online concerts?
A. He can't stand it.             B. He's crazy about it.
C. He doesn't mind it.            D. He's kind of supportive.
4. In which column of a newspaper can we read this passage?
A. Environment.     B. Travel.     C. Education.      D. Arts. 浙江省杭州市上城区2020中考二模英语试题第一节 (共 15 小题，每小题 2 分，满分 30 分) 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项 (A、B、C 和 D) 中选出最佳选项。 APONY EXPRESS! 10 Days to San Francisco!

New York, July 1, 1861.When people reached the West and lived there, they wrote letters to the family and friends they had left behind. The mail’s journey east was often as difficult and long as the pioneers’ trip west! It could take months for mail to travel from one coast to the other. In 1860 the pony express began to deliver mail. The pony express was a system of mail transport that depended on relays of horses. The pony express had interchange stations every 10 to 15 miles along the 2,000-mile way. Riders changed horses at these interchange stations. One rider usually covered between 75 and 100 miles each day. With the pony express, mail could travel from coast to coast in about 10 days. This was much faster than before.  16. What do you know from the passage? A. The mail’s journey east took months after the 1860s. B. A letter weighing 0.8 ounce cost each person two dollars. C. The purpose of interchange stations was to change riders. D. People could pay the express after they received the letters. 17. Catherine wanted to send a letter to her friend in San Francisco, when could she go to the office? A. At 11 A.M. on Wednesday.   B. At 5 P.M. on Tuesday. C. At 11 A.M. on Saturday.     D. At 5 P.M. on Saturday. 18. This passage is probably in the part of _______ in a magazine. A. American history     B. American laws C. American geography     D. American education BJuan Trippe was one of the pioneers of modern air travel. His company—Pan American Airways—was one of the first to offer cheap air travel round the world. Trippe was born in New Jersey in 1889. After graduating from Yale in 1921, he worked first on Wall Street, and then as a flying taxi pilot. From 1924 to 1926 he worked for Colonial Air Transport, and set up Pan American Airways the following year. At first, Pan Am offered flights across the Caribbean and South America. This was so successful that Trippe started to offer flights to Asia eight years later. In the late 1930s, he made the first flights to cross the Atlantic (大西洋). Immediately after the Second World War, Trippe decided to offer cheap flights to cross the Atlantic. Other airlines objected—they wanted to keep prices high, and earn the most profits. For several years, many airports in Europe weren’t willing to accept Pan Am flights. The other airlines only finally agreed to offer economy flights in 1952. Trippe started on his next project the same year—the development of the jet engine. This would make it possible for planes to fly over 8,000 kilometers at much higher speeds (more than 400 kilometers 1 hour). He paid Boeing 8.5 billion dollars to build passenger jet planes for Pan Am. The first Pan Am—a Boeing 707—flew from New York to Paris in 1958. In the 1960s, Trippe paid Boeing to build an even bigger jet, which could carry more passengers. This was the 747, nicknamed the Jumbo jet. Unfortunately, Trippe ordered too many 747s and put Pan Am into financial (经济的) difficulties. In 1968 he resigned from the company. Thirteen years later he died. 19. What is the correct order in which these happened? a. Pan Am offered flights across the Caribbean and South American. b. Trippe worked for Colonial Air Transport and set up Pan Am. c. The first Pan Am—a Boeing 707—flew from New York to Paris. d. Many airports in Europe weren’t willing to accept Pan Am flights. A. a-c-d-b   B. b-a-d-c  C. a-c-b-d    D. b-a-c-d 20. The underlined word “objected” in Paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to _______. A. refused   B. repeated   C. accepted    D. spread 21. The writer organizes Paragraph 3 by _______. A. telling a story       B. giving examples C. listing reasons       D. using numbers   22. What’s the best title for the passage? A. The development of jet planes    B. Juan Trippe, pioneer of the jet age C. Pan Am, the cheapest air company   D. Different planes in different cities CYou’re either a leg bouncer or someone who gets intensely annoyed by leg bouncing. There’s seldom an in-between. Leg bouncing, also called leg tapping, leg jiggling or leg shaking, describes the habit of moving one leg up and down at speed while sitting. It can happen when sitting on public transport, or at home, watching TV. It can be unnoticeable or powerful enough to make the whole bank of desks in the office feel the shakes. I’m a leg bouncer. It can be going for ages without me noticing, until I can suddenly feel the shakes all along my desk. I’ve noticed other people bouncing legs too, so it’s clearly not a habit that’s easily ignored (忽视). Why does leg bouncing happen? Why is it more common among those experiencing anxiety? “When we are feeling anxious, our body thinks that we’re in danger and prepare us to fight the stress, or run away from it.” Dawn Templeton says, “This means we are full of extra energy. Our muscles become busy working and that often leaks out (泄露) in the form of foot or hand shaking.” Leg bouncing can be a way to feel calmer, helping you feel more relaxed when you’re experiencing high levels of stress. You can also be more likely to shake legs if you’re a “high energy” person. The good news is that there’s no evidence (证据) to suggest leg shaking does your body any harm, beyond possibly making your muscles a bit painful. The habit is unlikely to cause any long-term damage to our posture, leg, or spine (脊柱). The only real negative outcome of your leg bouncing is the annoyance it can cause to others. 23. Leg bouncing is _______. A. a way to move desks     B. an act that makes you strong C. a habit of shaking legs     D. an idea about watching TV 24. The underlined word “that” in Paragraph 4 means _______. A. body    B. danger    C. stress     D. energy 25. Which of the following is true according to the passage? A. Leg shaking isn’t good for our health. B. We shake legs because we feel relaxed. C. The writer always notices his shaking legs. D. Leg shaking sometimes makes others unhappy. 26. The purpose of this passage is to _______. A. tell us some facts about leg shaking B. ask others not to shake legs anymore C. list the reasons why people shake legs D. show different ideas about leg shaking   DYour shoes are changing your feet. The ankles (脚踝) of people who habitually wear shoes are different to those people who often walk barefoot. In many modern societies, people often wear shoes from a young age. However, many people around the world often go barefoot, or wear only very thin footwear. “We know that there are some differences in the feet of modern humans, due to the use of shoes,” says Rita Sorrentino at the University of Bologna in Italy. But most findings before related to the front and middle of the foot. She and her team have focused on the ankle instead. They studied 142 ankle bones from 11 populations from North America, Africa and Europe. These included sandal (草鞋)-wearing Nguni farmers in Africa, people living in New York and fossilized bones (骨骼化石) from Stone Age hunter-gatherers. The hunter-gatherers’ ankle bones were shorter than those people living in modern cities, and there were other differences in the shape. “They are mostly related to the behaviors of wearing and moving,” says Sorrentino. The hunter-gatherers walked barefoot for long distances every day over natural areas. Their ankles were relatively flexible (灵活的). ___▲__, people who live in big cities, who wear narrow or small foot wear and walk short distances on flat roads, have more inflexible ankles. It’s believed that people have been wearing shoes for the past 10,000 years, says Sorrentino. For example, a sandal from a Missouri cave may be 8,300 years old. Early shoes were all fairly soft, so wouldn’t have restricted the motion of the ankle much. It is an open question if shoes have disadvantages, but Sorrentino thinks that modern shoes probably cause our bones to become weaker and easier to break. 27. What can we learn from Paragraph 2? A. Why people wear differently.     B. What the Sorrentino team studied. C. Who often wear thin footwear.     D. How human shoes have changed. 28. Which of the following can be put in the _______? A. In fact    B. For example    C. By the way   D. However 29. It can be inferred from the passage that _______. A. human behaviors usually have influence on ankle bones B. the hunter-gatherers’ ankle bones have been easily broken C. shoes have much more disadvantages than advantages D. people in modern societies shouldn’t wear shoes anymore 30. The passage is mainly about _______. A. the development of ankle bones B. the differences between shoes C. the relations between feet and shoes D. the history of human shoes  答案：2022年浙江省杭州市上城区九年级下学期二模英语试卷16-19 ABCA  20-22 CAA  23-26 BCBD  27-30 ADBC 2021年浙江省杭州市上城区九年级下学期二模英语试卷A) CDB   B) BDBA   C) BCDB    D) CBDD浙江省杭州市上城区2020中考二模英语试题36-40 CABBC 41-45 CABDA46-50 BDDAB
