Animals and insects may be “listening in” to benefit (获益) from the sound. The study is believed to benefit farmers in the future, as they can better take care of the crops by “hearing” how plants feel.                         ___________________Crocodiles( 鳄 鱼 ) live in dirty water. They fight and get hurt, but they seldom get infections( 感染). Why is that? Researchers studied the saltwater crocodile and found a special crocodile defensin(防御素). It is good at killing fungi( 真菌). This finding may help create new medicines for humans to treat fungal infections. Training with Printed OrgansIn the past, doctors practiced on animals and fruit to study biology. But today, 3D printing is changing how doctors learn. A research team has created 3D printed organs( 器 官 ). They used a soft material as the “ink” for printing. Besides, scientists also hope 3D printed organs can be used in organ transplants(移植). 56. In which section of the newspaper can we read the news?A. Business B. Animals C. Science D. Sports57. What is the finding of the researchers from Tel Aviv University?A. Plants often feel stressed.    B. Insects might like plants’ sounds. C. Animals can’t hear plants’ sounds.  D. People can hear what plants say. 58. What would be the best heading for the second piece of news?A. Protect Crocodiles   B. Crocodiles Love Dirty WaterC. Crocodiles Kill Fungi   D. Crocodiles Come to Help59. From the third piece of news, the research team hope to ____________. A. do research on animals and fruitB. study how 3D change the doctors’ learningC. create a soft material as the “ink” for printingD. use 3D printed organs to treat patients60. Through the researches, all the researchers above ______________ . A. do good to humans   B. win high prizesC. take training courses   D. often have new findingsBIn times of sadness, a friend would always suggest going for a walk. Suggestions like this are often said with kindness, but they used to make me feel like being told to drink more water. I did not understand how these things were going to help. Three years ago, I hit a low point. Once I saw a pair of empty eyes looking at me through the mirror, I knew I was at my breaking point. So, I took the advice I fought so hard to ignore( 忽 视 ). I went for a walk－with the hope that it would somehow change my life. I embraced( 拥 抱 ) the fresh air. But it did nothing. I was just as sad as I was before. I went on a walk every day for more than a month. Some days I could hardly make it outside, but I managed to push through. I took a picture every time I went. I think I wanted to record myself trying to make an effort. One day, _________. I found myself smiling. I realized I had patiently waited all morning to go on this walk. What I once hated had become the best part of my day. I found myself longing to be outside. I’m glad I took pictures because there was a noticeable difference in my face. I slowly started to look less tired and down. If you’re having a bad day, a bad month, a bad year or even a bad life, you should try going for a walk. Sometimes, all we need to do is a try. 61. How did the writer possibly use to feel about the advice of taking a walk when sad?A. Pleased. B. Annoyed. C. Relieved. D. Excited. 62. What does the author mean by saying “I was at my breaking point”?A. There was something wrong with her eyes. B. She wanted to break the mirror. C. Her hopelessness drove her to try. D. Walking could certainly help. 63. Which of the following can be put in ____________?A. I stopped B. the unexpected happenedC. I changed my mind D. the habit formed64. It’s inferred that the writer ____________________. A. believed there would be changes at firstB. felt much better as soon as she triedC. enjoyed getting close to natureD. was inspired by the pictures she took of herself65. What would be the best title for the passage?A. Nothing Is Impossible! B. Hey! Cheer up!C. Walk Away from Sadness! D. Admire Yourself!COnce I took a vacation in southern Italy. After climbing up a hill for a full view of the blue sea, white buildings and green trees, I stopped to catch my breath and then positioned myself to take the best photo. Unluckily, just as I took out my camera, a woman came from behind, and planted herself right in front of my view. Like me, she was there to appreciate the view. Patient as I was, after about 15 minutes, my camera scanning the sun and looking at the shot I would finally take, I grew angry. Was it too much to ask her to move so I could take just one picture of the landscape( 景 色 )? Sure, I could have asked her, but something prevented me from doing so. She seemed so lost in her world. I didn’t want to mess with that. Another 15 minutes passed and I grew bored. The woman was still there. I decided to take the photo anyway. And now when I looked at it, I found her figure(身影) in the photo was what made the photo interesting. The landscape, beautiful on its own, somehow came to life because of her. The photo, with the unique beauty that unfolded before me and that woman who “ruined(破坏)” it, now hangs on a wall in my bedroom. What would she think if she knew that her figure was once captured(捕捉) and frozen on some stranger’s bedroom wall? Perhaps we all live in each other’s private space. Perhaps this is what photos are for: to remind us that we all appreciate beauty, that we all share a common desire for pleasure, for connection, for something that is greater than us. That photo is a reminder, a captured moment, an unspoken conversation between two women, separated only by a thin square of glass. 66. What happened when the writer was about to take a photo?A. Her camera stopped working. B. A woman blocked(挡住) her view. C. Someone asked her to leave. D. A friend got close from behind. 67. According to the writer, the woman was  . A. enjoying the landscape B. losing her patienceC. waiting for the sunset D. thinking about the past68. In the writer’s opinion, what makes the photo so alive?A. The beautiful landscape. B. The perfect position of the camera. C. The woman in the photo. D. The soft sunlight on that summer day. 69. The photo makes the writer have a better understanding of __________. A. the need to make friends B. the importance of private spaceC. the meaning of life D. the beauty of the unexpected70. The passage is mainly about the writer’s ____________. A. reflection on an experience B. memory of a vacationC. art of taking photos D. unforgettable friendship 2022年武汉市东湖高新区中考二模英语试题四、阅读理解 (本题共15小题，每小题2分，共30分)  阅读下面三篇材料、从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。ACall for Action Artists paint a picture on a wall opposite the COP 26 climate summit venue (气候峰会会场). COP26, which refers to the 26th United Nations Climate Change Conference of the Parties, took place on Oct. 31 in Glasgow, UK. The event is supposed to offer world leaders a chance to solve climate change challenges that bring danger to the very living of the planet. _____________________________ Justin from Los Angeles started a group called For the Love of Frogs, and sold toy frog to raise money. So far he has raised more than $20, 000. Because of his work, Justin won 2021 Gloria Barron Prize for Young Heroes. He told TIME for Kids that frogs show signs of illness earlier than other animals when their habitat (栖息地) is in danger. “Frogs are telling us our planet really needs your help,” he says. Pollution-canceling headphones Technology company Dyson has created headphones (耳机) with a cleaning visor (面罩) to help people avoid polluted air.

Because of this talk, he took a wrong turn which took us toward a bridge. And we had no way of turning back. Andrew had to pay to cross. He was clearly upset by the mistake and the waste of $4.  As we drove forward, he noticed a shabby (破旧的) black car pulled over to the roadside. A young guy was standing nearby trying to phone someone. I was busy trying to find out which way we went next but Andrew pulled over and asked the guy if he needed any help. He did. He had a flat tire (漏气的车胎).  Andrew helped him change the flat tire. We started getting to know the young man who was from a neighborhood nearby. He said that it had been a bad week for him; earlier a car accident, and now this flat tire. But at that moment he felt “a breath of fresh air”. He kept thanking us because he really would have been stuck if we hadn’t come along. After we had finished the job, he pulled out $20 to thank us. “No,” I said. “We were never supposed to even get on that bridge. We took a wrong tun. But now we know why we did it. It was to help you. Thank you for turning our mistake into an opportunity to serve.” What I loved most was watching Andrew through this process. He was able to tum his annoyance over the mistake into positive (正面的) energy. He was able to see a chance to help (which I totally missed!) even in an otherwise terrible situation. That was the bridge we were meant to cross. 61. What happened to the writer and his brother?  A. They had a serious talk.  B. They drove to a bridge by mistake.  C. They turned back halfway.  D.

The best title of this passage is __________. A. A Bridge of Friendship   B. Positive Energy C. My Helpful Brother   D. A Meant-to-be Mistake C Most people think fashionable lifestyles have little to do with China’s seniors. They are simply considered as the ones who dress in flowery clothing and dance together in squares, or the ones rushing to be the first to buy vegetables at low prices.  However, Qin Xiao, a photographer is discovering a seniors’ world which is quite different from the one most people commonly see. In photos taken by Qin, the fashionable seniors show their attitude toward life and their understanding of fashion. They are not professional models or well-known people.  In his photos, some seniors are dressed casually (休闲地), but fashionably, while others are carefully dressed. In a July photo, an old man wears blue silk pajamas (睡衣) with white roses to walk his dog. He matches his clothes with red-and-blue sports shoes, a white baseball cap and a red dog leash(链条).  In 2018, he began to record the outfits of seniors and opened an account (账户) called Senior Fashion Club on Sina Weibo. When he posted pictures as such on it, comments (评论) below read: “How is he able to look so fashionable in pajamas?”; “I am going to dress like this when I am old”; and “Fashion has nothing to do with age. They are just boys and girls with wrinkles (皱纹).” As follower numbers rose, Qin’s account received attention from a number of photo magazines, and then other local and national media began to report the fashion of seniors. Many reporters asked why he chose to record senior people’s daily outfits.  “I take photos of them just because they are beautiful, not because I’m reflecting on the fashion of an aging society or anything big. I hope my photos can show people the beauty they may pay little attention to in daily life and that old people can lead the fashion, too. That’s it,” he said. 66. In most people’s eyes, old people in China seldom __________. A. do square dance   B. rush to buy vegetables C. lead the fashion in clothing  D. dress in flowery clothes67. How did people feel when they saw pictures of the seniors?  A. Amused.  B. Shocked.  C. Moved.  D. Amazed. 68.

It is clear that Qin Xiao __________. A. joined Senior Fashion Club  B. had a growing number of fans C. reflected on the fashion of seniors  D. wanted to follow the fashion70. The writer wrote the passage to __________. A. draw people’s attention to new fashion B. encourage young people to dress properly C. show China’s seniors haven’t been left out D. change people’s views on China’s seniors’ lifestyles 2021年武汉市东湖高新区中考二模英语试题四、阅读理解 (本题共15小题，每小题2分，共30分)  阅读下面三篇材料，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出一个最佳答案。ACULTURE Old Puppets Still Dance When Wang Haiyan was young, her favorite toys weren’t dolls. Instead, she started learning to make shadow puppets (皮影) from her father at 13. Now 43, Wang has spent 30 years practicing and spreading the art, China Daily reported.  Shadow puppetry is a form of theater that uses puppets made from leather or paper, accompanied by music  and singing. Invented during the Western Han Dynasty, it tells us about folk and historical stories, passing down culture and customs over thousands of years.  Shadow puppetry is all about creating the puppets and performing with them. Wang’s hometown of Hua County, Shaanxi, is known as the birthplace of the folk art.  Puppet-makers must follow 24 steps to make the puppets. Carving is the most difficult part. It took Wang three years to master this skill. It takes about 3, 00 carves to make a shadow puppet. “The complicated steps make it hard to hand down the folk art,” she said. But Wang has found a way to do so. In 2016, she made shadow puppets based on the cartoon series and gave a livestreaming performance on Weibo. She used colors like blue and purple that are rarely seen in shadow puppetry and added more sticks to make the performance more vivid and lively. TEENS56.

S. Merwin, died in his sleep at his home in Hawaii, aged 91. His large number of mysterious and amazing lines made him and his poems well-known to the world. He was twice named the U. S. poet laureate (获奖者) and also won a National Book Award and two Pulitzer Prizes.  Merwin wrote a lot and for a long time. As a 5-year-old in New Jersey, he was interested in poems. When he was ready for college, the young Merwin got a scholarship (奖学金) to Princeton University. Then he went on to Europe, where he became a translator and soon a poet.  By the time Merwin published his fifth book, he was in desperation worried about the environment and war. He wanted his writing to become more pressing (紧迫的). To start, Merwin decided to do away with punctuation (标点). He said “punctuation nails the poem down on the page” and “the mind does not think in punctuation”. Then, as he became more connected with the environmental movement, his poems began to root themselves in the Earth.  That started on the Hawaiian island of Maui. In the 1980s, Merwin found a worn-out field there and with his wife, Paula, worked to bring back the rainforest. He talked about his project in the 2014 documentary Even Though the Whole World Is Burning. “I planted these big beautiful trees almost 3 years ago.” he said. “I don’t think anybody thought they’d grow here but they look at home now. Merwin found inspiration in his project and in his Maui home. He has kept very seriously that valuable, quiet area of loneliness.  Merwin’s Maui home, where he raised more than 2, 000 trees, will all be protected as part of the Merwin Conservancy. 61. The reason why Merwin’s poetry became famous is __________. A. its number and quality   B. its focus on the environment C. its special writing style   D. its new change in punctuation62. Merwin stopped using punctuation to __________. A. find inspiration for writing  B. make poems more useful and truer C. create a new form of poems   D. stress the importance of protecting the earth63. What can we learn about Merwin’s project?  A. It was thought to be fruitless at first.  B. It helped Merwin feel at home in Maui.  C. It was the theme of the 2014 documentary.  D. It inspired Merwin to protect environment. 64. The underlined word “desperation’’ in Para. 3 is closest in meaning to __________. A. a state of hopelessness   B. a feeling of sadness C. a sense of responsibility  D. a mood of disappointment65. What’s this passage mainly about?  A. Merwin’s poems.  B. Merwin’s life.  C. Merwin’s family. D. Merwin’s fame.  C I decided at 10 that I was going to be a teacher because I had a burning desire for super powers. As a boy, I could clearly see some of my teachers had such powers.  There was an English teacher in fifth grade who could magically take us to different worlds everyday by telling us stories and reading to us from books we would otherwise never pick up. This was our secret and fun time because fifth graders were considered too old to have stories read out to them.  It was even shocking that my teacher could see the hidden. I was one of those who had no insight(洞察力), yet my teacher would notice me and the unspoken message in her eyes suggested that she could see me through. She had another super power and even after forty years, I could still remember her lessons about the great masters of art and great geographers. She did this even though her major (专业) was neither art nor geography. Her lessons went beyond the textbook. I knew I wanted to be one of those all-seeing ones with super powers that made children feel safe and valued.  I know being a teacher isn’t the easiest or the most financially rewarding (经济回报) of jobs. And there are job risks-your knees can become worn out from years of carrying piles of notebooks up and down the school steps, and your voice can suffer from too much talking. Even so, there are still those choosing this job. To them, teaching is not just a job, but a science, an art and it requires lots of effort.  All my life, for thirty years now, I’ve gone to work early each day with a spring in my step. Sometimes, I meet my former students. Their love for me and sweet memories of our time together are my rewards. When I meet others who thirst for super powers, like a new teacher trying to perfect hers kills with a brave face on, or the one in a lonely, village school travelling 70 kilometers each day just for his pupils, I feel proud to belong to the same group. 66. The author made up his mind to be a teacher because __________. A. teachers have super powers B. he wanted to make much money C. he had a deep admiration for teachers with super powers D. his English teacher wished him to be a teacher67. We can infer from Para. 2 that the stories __________. A. were told in a magic way  B. were written by the teacher C. included some students’ secrets  D. left the students with happy memories68. Which of the following can best describe the English teacher?  A. Intelligent and strict.   B. Hard-working and selfless.  C. Professional and humorous.  D. Knowledgeable and sharp-eyed. 69. What do we know about the author as a teacher?  A. He suffered a lot in his knees and voice.  B. He traveled 70 miles each day to work.  C. He thought teaching was more than spreading knowledge.  D. He had some ideas of how to be a good teacher at a young age. 70. What would be the best title for the passage?  A. To Be a Teacher  B. To Honor a Teacher   C. To Challenge a Job  D. To Gain Rewards 答案：2023年武汉市东湖高新区中考二模英语试题56-60 CBDDA    61-65 BCBDC  66-70 BACDA 2022年武汉市东湖高新区中考二模英语试题56-60 BCCAA 61-65 BDAAD 66-70 CDBBD 2021年武汉市东湖高新区中考二模英语试题56-60 CACBC  61-65 ADAAB  66-70 CDDCA
