浙江省杭州市2020年中考英语试卷

阅读理解

    How would you feel if someone decided to take away your park? Well that's what's happening in my community. There's a park that some people want to turn into a golf course (高尔夫球场). Let me tell you why I think it's a bad idea.

    First, a park is meant to be for the whole community. Not everyone likes golf, so not everyone will get to use the park. This isn't fair. A community park should have open spaces for everyone to use.

    Second, to make way for the golf course, lots of playground equipment (设施) will have to be moved or knocked down, which is a waste of time and money. It's also a waste of perfectly good equipment. The swings, for example, will probably just end up as litter.

    Third, what about giving young people something to do? Not all kids are crazy about golf. At the moment, the park has a skating place and a playground. These attract lots of kids from the community. If you turn the park into a golf course, these kids won't have anywhere to go and they won't have anything to do.

    This means that they will stay at home and turn on a video game rather than get some exercise. It also means that they might be out on the street causing trouble. Wouldn't it be better to give them something to do at the park?

    Finally, golf is expensive. Building a golf course and maintaining (维护)it costs a lot of money. Who is going to pay to maintain the golf course? What about those people who can't afford to join a golf club? That means that the golf course will only be available to people with lots of money.

    Turning our park into a golf course is a bad idea. I suggest we have a community meeting before plans go any further.

(1)、Some people want to change the park into ______________.
A、a golf club B、a golf course C、a park D、a skating place
(2)、According to Paragraph 4, having nowhere to go will make some children
A、go to get some exercise B、fall in love with golf C、play video games at home D、go to the street and make friends
(3)、Which of the following shows the structure of the passage?

 (P=Paragraph)

A、 B、 C、 D、
(4)、What is the writer's purpose in writing this passage?
A、To help carry out further plans. B、To make the park more beautiful. C、To encourage children to go skating. D、To stop the golf course from being built.

It's Friday evening. My daughters sighed (叹息) when I gently took the iPads away from their laps. One by one, our screens were turned off. We lit the candles and sat down to have a big meal.

We call it our "Technology Shabbat" (科技安息日), which lasts from sunset on Friday to sunset on Saturday.

I first understood the importance of "Technology Shabbat" in 2008, when my father had got brain cancer. Some days he would have only one awake hour, and the only thing I wanted to do was to be with him. When I looked after my father, I turned off my mobile phone.

During our "Technology Shabbat", time slows down. Our Saturdays now feel like mini-vacations. We drive cars or ride bikes. We work in the garden, play board games and cook meals with our kids. I feel like a better mother, wife and person.

Keeping a balance between the good and the bad of technology is important for my family. The technology helps us share knowledge and funny ideas all over the world. But the technology also takes something away from us. When we stay up late at night linking (连接) from website to website or sending messages, we click again and again until we have been overloaded (超负荷的).

Now we're rushing into the time full of high technology. We should pay attention to what we are doing online and when we should go offline.

I will always remember the most important thing in my family: Technology Shabbat.

Imagine a sky filled with beautiful kites of all shapes and sizes. Isn't it magical? In this article, we'll take you on a journey through some of the best kit e festivals around the world. 

Weifang International Kite Festival

The Weifang International Kite Festival is held every year in April. Weifang is known as the "Kite Capital of the World". The history of this kit e festival can date back to 1984. 

Different kite designs(设计) can be seen during the festival. Traditional shapes include fish, birds, butterflies and dragons. There are also creative style s like the kit e in the shape of China's Tiangong space station. Visitors can also try their hand at kite making in many workshops. 

Dieppe International Kite Festival

The Dieppe International Kite Festival takes place every two years in September in France. The festival began in 1980. It is one of the largest kite events in Europe. 

The event is known for showing artistic kite designs. If you are visiting Dieppe for the festival, you will not want to miss the closing ceremony. There's an evening light show. Hundreds of kites magically light up the night!

Washington State International Kite Festival

In the U. S. , there is the Washington State International Kite Festival. It has been held in August every year since 1981. The festival is one of the largest kite-flying events in North America. 

The festival includes many competitive events. It's fun to watch kite-flyers from around the world work their magic. This festival still holds the world record for keeping a kit e in the air for the longest time — 180 hours(7. 5 days).

Why Are Tennis Scores So Strange?

One, two, three . . . Most sports have a pretty easy scoring system (计分系统), but tennis is a bit different. In each game, both players start with zero —called "love". After one person scores (得分), the point becomes 15. The next point is 30, then 40, and the following point wins that game. 

Some wonder why we do the points this way. Why not just "1, 2, 3, game Queen Wen," for example? Unluckily, we don't know much about the beginning of this scoring system. We only know that it was different. In the early days of the sport, the points were 15, 30, 45 not 40. A poem (诗歌) from the 1410s counted the points of a game between King Henry V of England and the French Dauphin (法国王储) as 15, 30, 45. This was easier to understand because every time one scored, it was by 15. 

But why do we give players 15 points when it's actually just a single point?  ★  One popular story says that the numbers have something to do with clocks. People may have felt that the four quarters of a clock were a good way to score the game. But not everyone is happy with that story. Some people point out that people didn't begin to use minute hands until the late 1500. 

You may find it strange to use "love" for a score of zero. Some believe that it came from the French word "L'oeuf" (the egg) - after all, the number zero looks like a duck or goose egg. Others like a more romantic idea about its beginning: Some people play tennis for love even if they don't win anything. 

No matter how strange the scoring system may be, tennis is enjoyed all around the world. Tens of millions play it, with even more watching it on TV or their phones. So, why not pick up your racket (or sit down on your sofa) and enjoy some fun with tennis?
