浙江省杭州市2019届中考英语模拟试卷(二)

阅读理解

    One of my best friends went abroad to enjoy her holidays, so the job of looking after her dog Missy has been given to me. A few months ago, Missy came to my friend's house. She looked terrible. She has been abused for a long time.

    When we first visited my friend and Missy, my friend had to gently pull her over on a lead (牵绳) to get her to come to us. She wanted to come but afraid to do so—the poor, beautiful thing. Clearly Missy came to the right home. My friend has given birth to a baby of his own and shows the love of a mother. This is just what Missy needs. Thanks to the love of my friend, she has changed into a new dog step by step. Sadly, she is still afraid of strange humans. I hate to imagine what the dog must have gone through.

    Now, Missy trusts me completely, so I can touch her berry(肚皮).While standing, she will jump up so gently to be closer to me, putting her paws(爪子)on my legs as she looks at me with those beautiful eyes.

    Missy is really brave. She has the courage to try again, to open her hearts, and to know that not everyone is the same kind of people as before. Keep it in mind that tomorrow is another day.

(1)、The underlined word "abused" in the first paragraph means__________.
A、保护 B、喂养 C、虐待 D、挨饿

A、the writer has learned the skills to communicate with Missy B、the writer has made Missy understand and follow her orders C、the writer has succeeded in winning the trust of Missy D、the writer has come to realize that Missy is a beautiful dog

Kids have lots of fun indoor activities nowadays. Three parents and educators are here to share how they encourage children to spend more time outside and connect with nature.

Susie

experienced

educator

To get kids off screen, I advise parents disconnect too. My students have come to enjoy looking out for birds. They also find joy in using binoculars (双筒望远镜) for birdwatching. One of my students is now known as the local 12-year-old birdwatcher in the community. He's now a better birdwatcher than I am!

Juan

outdoor club

volunteer

During a fishing trip with 30 kids aged 10 to 16, I had to get creative to keep them active. So, I came up with an idea: whoever catches a fish gets a gift. Although no one caught a fish, the kids loved it. Next month, we're going to have a boat racing on a nearby river. The key is to create an interesting space and give kids a reason to join in.

Linda

English teacher

When teaching English as a second language, I planned an outdoor math lesson: how to find the size of a garden bed (园圃). But my students didn't want to do it because of the insects (昆虫) and the hot weather, I then suggested growing something they could eat to make them more interested in the garden. This experience changed my mindset (观念) from "I'm taking them outside" to "We're going outside together".

As the weather gets warmer,there are few things that are better to do than travel.But traveling might not be that fun for everyone,especially for those who have motion sickness(晕动症).

Motion sickness is also called travel sickness.It is a common experience for many people.Depending on how you travel,it can be called carsickness or seasickness.People with motion sickness feel very uncomfortable while they are in motion.They feel sick and dizzy,like the room around them won't stop spinning.

It is generally believed that motion sickness happens when your senses become confused (困惑的)with each other,Scientific American reported.

We use different parts of our body to sense movement.Our eyes tell us if we are moving.The inner ears (内耳) contain a special liquid that helps us sense our direction and balance.Our muscles react to movement.

When you move around,these body parts work well together.But when you are in a car or an airplane,they get confused.Your inner ear signals that you're moving.This mismatch gives us motion sickness.

But some people are less sensitive to motion sickness.This may be because they have certain genes (基因) that prevent mismatching senses,Bethann Hromatka,told the Atlantic.

Although there are many ways to deal with motion sickness,scientists believe that the key is to simply try to adapt to it.For example,some astronauts do special exercises that give them mild motion sickness.After a week or two,the astronauts become used to it and don't feel uncomfortable anymore,a NASA flight doctor,told the BBC.
