山东省新目标版2019届中考英语模拟试卷(七)

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。

    In earliest times, men considered lightning to be one of the great mysteries (神秘的事物) of nature. Some ancient peoples believed that lightning and thunder were the weapons (武器) of the gods.

    In reality, lightning is a flow of electricity formed high above the earth. A single flash of lightning 1.6 kilometres long has enough electricity to light one million light bulbs (灯泡).

    The American scientist and statesman, Benjamin Franklin, was the first to show the connection between electricity and lightning in 1752. In the same year he also built the first lightning rod (避雷针). This device (装置物) protects buildings from being damaged by lightning.

    Modern science has discovered that one stroke (闪击) of lightning has a voltage (电压) of more than 15 million volts (伏特). A flash of lightning between a cloud and the earth may be as long as 13 kilometers, and travel at a speed of 30 million meters per second.

    Scientists judge that there are about 2,000 million flashes of lightning per year. Lightning hits the Empire State Building in New York City 30 to 48 times a year. In the United States alone it kills an average (平均数) of one person every day.

    The safest place to be in case of an electrical storm is in a closed car. Outside, one should go to low ground and not get under trees. Also, one should stay out of water and away from metal fences. Inside a house, people should avoid open doorways and windows and not touch wires or metal things.

    With lightning, it is better to be safe than sorry?

(1)、People once thought lightning came from ________.
A、the sky B、the gods C、the earth D、nature
(2)、According to the passage what do you think all buildings need?
A、Metal fences. B、Electricity. C、lightning rods. D、Machines.
(3)、Lightning can travel ________.
A、as quickly as water B、not so quickly as electricity C、at very low speed D、at very high speed
(4)、Which of the following is NOT true?
A、In the U.S about one person per day dies from lightning. B、The Empire State Building frequently gets hit by lightning. C、Swimming during a thunder storm is a good idea. D、A closed car is the best place to be during an electrical storm.
(5)、Lightning is probably ______ to man.
A、useful B、kind C、useless D、friendly

①Did you hear of China's Tiangong space station? How much do you know about the lives of astronauts working in the space station? Come along and find out!

②For astronauts in space, exercise is important. The environment is very different in space. Doing sports helps astronauts stay healthy. How do they exercise? There is a spin bike (健身车), a treadmill(跑步机), and other fitness equipment(设备) in the space station. The equipment makes it easy for astronauts to work out.

③Astronauts live in a weightless environment, so they can't take showers like we do on the earth. Is there a bathroom in the space station? How do they keep themselves clean? Don't worry! Tiangong has a special bathroom. Astronauts can wipe themselves clean with a wet towel (毛巾).

④What do astronauts eat in the space station? There is bread and porridge for breakfast. There are also traditional Chinese dishes, like Kung Pao Chicken, fried rice and fried noodles with sliced pork. There is a special" fridge" to store the food. It's made of" aerogel(气凝胶)". The food stays cool in it.

⑤What if astronauts miss their families? There is special communication equipment in the space station. Astronauts can have personal" sky- to- earth" calls with their families. Usually, the astronauts wear earphones. It not only helps them talk with each other, but also allows them to talk to the ground from any position(位置) .

⑥What do you think of the lives of the astronauts?

 阅读下列短文,从下面每题的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。

You must have heard of "city bu city"(meaning city or not city), an internet buzzword(流行语)created by foreign blogger Baobaoxiong. It's used to ask if a place feels like a big, fashionable city. 

Millions of foreigners like Baobaoxiong are visiting China and posting their travel videos. The visa-free transit policy(过境免签政策) plays an important role in this trend(潮流). Travelers from 54 countries can stay in China for up to six days without a visa as long as they have a travel document(文件)and a connecting ticket(联运机票) to leave. 

The visa-free transit policy started in 2013. Back then, it allowed travelers to stay for 72hours in seven different big cities in China. Now, travelers can stay for 144 hours in 41 places across provincial areas. It has attracted more travelers to China. In the first three months of this year, 266 percent more foreigners came to China through visa-free policies compared with the same period last year, according to the National Immigration Administration of China(国家移民管理局).

____△____Through this policy, more and more people get to see the real China. 

"This is the whole reason why we decided to come to China. We want to see exactly what it's like by ourselves, " said Irish YouTuber Luke in his online video. He thought Chengdu was fun believably good, beautiful and modern", totally different from what ho had heard about China from Western media. 

Yuyuantantian, a new media account(账号) under China Media Group, looked at 100 China travel videos made by foreigners. It found foreigners used to visit famous spots like the Forbidden City and the Great Wall. But now they prefer experiencing everyday activities like shopping at markets, riding shared bikes and joining square dancing in parks. These activities give foreigners a closer look at everyday life in China, said Yuyuantantian.

A big rock fell through the house of Ruth Hamilton, when she was sleeping. 

Luckily, she was not hurt. "I jumped out of bed and turned on the lights. I didn' t know what else to do, so I called 911, " Hamilton, from Canada, told CBC. It turns out that the rock is a meteorite(陨石). It came from the outer space! Hamilton said she would keep the rock. 

 So what is a meteorite? You may have seen shooting stars at night. They are flying rocks in space. Earth's gravity(重力) catches them and lets them fall. Most of them burn up in the sky. But some fall down on Earth. They are called meteorites. Every year, more than 30, 000 meteorites larger than a strawberry fall down on Earth, according to science website DK Find Out. 

UK's Natural History Museum says that"the chances(概率) of a meteorite falling are the same everywhere on the Earth. " This means most meteorites end up in the seas. Few people can see them. But still, we have collected 50, 000 meteorites around the world so far. 

 Following are more information about the meteorite:

●A meteorite will become less than 5% of its size when it falls down on Earth. 

●Every 180 years, a meteorite hits a human being, according to a 1985 study by Nature. 

 You may ask: can we touch a meteorite? Does it have radiation(辐射)? Don't worry. The radiation is not strong. Nothing will happen to your body.
