山东省新目标版2019届中考英语模拟试卷(六)

阅读下列短文,从每题A、B、C、D四个选项中,选出一个能回答所提问题或完成所给句子的最佳答案。

    Do animals have a culture? What do we mean by "culture?" Lately social scientists have begun to ask if culture is found just in humans, or if some animals have a culture too. When we speak of culture, we mean a way of life a group of people have in common. Culture includes the beliefs and attitudes we learn. It is the patterns of behavior that help people to live together. It is also the patterns of behavior that make one group of people different from another group.

    Our culture lets us make up for having lost out strength, claws, long teeth, and other defenses. Instead we use tools, cooperate with one another, and communicate with language. But these aspects of human behavior, or "culture," can also be found in the lives of certain animals. Animals can make tools, for example. We used to think that the ability to use tools was the dividing line between human beings and other animals. Lately, however, we have found that this is not the case. Chimpanzees(非洲小猩猩) can not only use tools but actually make tools themselves. Animals can also share knowledge with each other and use their own language to communicate. So it may be important for us to know that the line dividing us from animals is not as clear as we used to think.

(1)、Choose the statement that best expresses the main idea.____.
A、A chimpanzee can learn to use sign language to make sentences B、Other animals can invent tools C、Knowledge and communication are no longer signs of only human behavior D、The line dividing human culture from animal culture is not as clear as we might think
(2)、"Culture" refers to ____.
A、book language of behavior we learn B、the patterns of behavior we learn C、traditional ideas D、people's good habits
(3)、A chimpanzee's use of tools means ____.
A、animals are the same as human beings B、animals can be as clever as human beings C、the dividing line between culture and animal culture no longer exists D、animals may have a culture like our own
(4)、Which of the following statement is true?
A、The ability to use language separates human beings B、We can be certain that animals have a culture too C、Social scientists doubt if animals have a culture too D、Some traditional ideas about the difference between human beings and animals may be wrong
(5)、The first sentence of the second paragraph "Our culture lets 7us make up for having lost our strength, claws, long teeth, and other defenses " means ____.
A、as a result of our culture, we have lost our strength, claws, long teeth, and other defenses B、our culture has enabled us even better though we have lost our strength, claws, long teeth, and other defenses C、our culture has brought back to us strength, claws, long teeth, and other defenses that we have lost D、our culture asks that we lose our strength, claws, long teeth, and other defenses which animals still have
举一反三
 阅读下列短文,根据短文内容从每小题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳答案。

Along with firewood (柴), rice, oil, salt, sauce and vinegar, tea is considered one of the seven necessities for life in China. Now, it has also won global (全球的) attention as a shared cultural treasure of mankind.

Since ancient times, Chinese people have been planting, picking, making and drinking tea. More importantly, China's tea culture has developed social custom. It is Chinese tradition that a host should welcome visiting guests with boiled tea. A poem by Song poet Du Lei reads: I offer tea, not wine, to a guest on a cold night.

Boiling tea is one of the oldest Chinese tea brewing (煮沏) methods, dating back (追溯) to the Tang Dynasty (618-907). Tea leaves were boiled for a long time and sometimes they were cooked together with different kinds of herbs (草药) and fruits. During this process, people can enjoy a quiet time. Later in the Ming Dynasty (1368-1644), a faster and more convenient method become more popular—steeping (冲泡).

However, the old method is now making a comeback among Chinese young people. On the app Xiaohongshu, here are over 40,000 posts on the topic of "stove-boiled" tea (围炉煮茶). They roast tea leaves before boiling them in a teapot on a stove. People sit around the stove in a natural setting and have snacks with their hot tea. Some also wear traditional hanfu as if it could take them back to those ancient times.

Through "stove-boiled" tea, people can taste a slower life and find their inner peace (内心平和). As is written in one Xiaohongshu post, "It is very relaxing to drink hot tea and chat with best friends."
