2016年福建省福州市中考英语真题试卷

根据短文内容，选择最佳答案。

Pollution inside homes and other buildings kills more than 4 million people each year．Many people die as a result of breathing smoke or from cooking over wood﹣powered of coal﹣powered stoves．

One way to reduce the number of deaths is through cooking equipment powered by the sun．Crosby Menzies，a solar power expert in a South African company，described his latest solar cooker called the“Sol.4”，”It is four square meters of mirrors，six to eight meters in length．It is quite a large cooler．”

The“Sol.4”works by reflecting （反射）light from the sun off large mirrors．The mirrors direct （把…对准）the light at a cooking pan．Then the light heats the pan with solar energy．Within two minutes，the pan is hot enough to cook sausages and onions．In just four minutes，water can be boiled．That is as fast as cooking with natural gas or electricity．

The cooker is also much“friendlier”than other models because people do not have to stand in the sun to use it．And people can prepare meals without having to collect firewood or spend money on coal．Suchindividualswould be less likely to have breathing illnesses from harmful smoke．

At present，the cooker only works when the sun is shining．But engineers are working on a way to make it work without sunlight．

Each cooker costs about $2000，which is a large amount of money for most Africans．To solve that problem，Crosby Menzies has crated a non﹣governmental organization called solar Cookers for Africa．It plans to raise money through donations to provide poor people with solar cooking equipment．

（1）、This passage is mainly about ．

A、solar cookers B、smoke pollution C、solar power experts D、breathing illnesses

（2）、The“Sol﹣4”is mainly used to ．

A、shorten the time of cooking B、reduce the cost of making cookers C、raise money through donations to help African people D、reduce the number of deaths caused by harmful smoke．

（3）、The underlined word“individuals“most probably means“ ”

A、cookers B、mirrors C、people D、experts

（4）、Which of the following about the“Sol﹣4”is TRUE？

A、It is six to eight square meters of mirrors． B、It can work in any weather condition now C、It can also heat the pan by lighting firewood D、It is more environment﹣friendly than other cookers．

（5）、From the passage，we can infer that ．

A、the“Sol﹣4”will be designed in a smaller size B、more African can use the solar cookers in the future C、the“Sol﹣4”is the first product of the south African company D、the African government will provide poor people with solar cookers．

Rivers are one of our most important natural resources(资源). Many of the world's great cities are located on rivers, and almost every country has at least one river running through it that plays an important part in the lives of its people.
Since the beginning of history, people have used rivers for transportation. The longest one in the United States is the Mississippi. The lifeline of Egypt is the Nile. To the people of India, the Ganges is great, but it is also important for transportation; ships can travel along it for a thousand miles. Other great rivers are the Congo in Africa and the Mekong in southeastern Asia. The greatest of all for navigation（航海）, however, is the Amazon in Brazil（巴西）. It is so wide and so deep that large ships can go about two thousand miles up it.
Besides transportation, rivers give food to eat, water to drink, water for crops, and chances for fun. In order to increase the supply(供给) of water for crops, engineers sometimes build a dam (大坝)across a river and let a lake form behind the dam. Then people can use the water not only to irrigate(灌溉) their fields but also to make electricity for their homes and industries.
However, large cities and industries that are located on rivers often cause problems. As the cities grow in size and industries increase in number, the water in the rivers becomes polluted with chemicals and other materials. People are learning the importance, however, of doing more to keep their rivers clean if they want to enjoy the benefits of these natural resources.

Venus is close to the earth．It is the second planet from the sun．The earth is the third planet from the sun．Venus is similar(相似的)to the earth in size and mass (质量)．It is often described as the earth's"sister"．

Scientists have been learning about Venus for a long time．First they looked at Venus through telescopes(望远镜)．But Venus is covered with thick clouds．Scientists could not see Venus well through the clouds．So they made guesses about it．

For a long time，scientists thought that Venus had water and plants．They thought Venus might have animals too．But they didn't know for sure．

Then scientists found a way to learn more about Venus．In'the 1960s，they began sending probes(航天探测器)to Venus．The probes flew through the thick clouds．They took pictures of Venus up close．They found out many things too．The probes sent the pictures and things they found out back to the scientists．

The scientists learned a lot from the probes．First they learned that most of their guesses were not right．And they learned that Venus is very hot．

After that，scientists knew they could not send people to Venus．But they still wanted to know more about it．So they sent new probes．These new probes took great pictures of the planet．The pictures showed that Venus has plains (平原)and mountains!And in some ways，Venus looks like the earth．

In most parts of the world, many students help their schools make less pollution．They join environment clubs．In an environment club, people work together to make our environment clean．

Here are some things students often do．

No-garbage lunches．How many lunch bags do you throw away after lunch? Environment clubs ask students to bring their lunches in bags that can be used again．Every week they will choose the classes that make the least garbage and report them to the whole school．

No-car day．On a no-car day, nobody comes to school in a car including the students and the teachers．Cars give pollution to us, so remember:

Walk, jump, bike, or run!

Use your legs! It's lots of fun!

Turn off the water! Do you know that some toilets can waste twenty to forty cubic meters of water an hour? In a year, that would fill in a small river. In the environment clubs, students mend those broken toilets．

We love our environment．Let's work together to make it better．

People know the danger of fires. It's good for a family to learn how to prepare for a fire. Here are some suggestions：

Put a smoke alarm in the house. Smoke from a fire causes the alarm to go off. The alarm makes a loud sound. The sound tells everyone to leave the house at once.

Make escape (逃脱) plans. They should know all the ways out of the house. If there is a fire， everyone follows the plan to get out. Part of the plan is to check all the windows to make sure they can be opened easily.

Buy fire extinguishers (灭火器) in the house. Everyone in the family should know how to use them.

Practice for a fire. They do fire practice because they teach children about fire safety. Everyone in the family should know the following fire rules：

＊Don't open a hot door! The fire can grow more quickly if you open the door.

＊Stay close to the floor! Smoke can be more dangerous than fire； the best air is near the floor because smoke rises.

＊What will you do if your hair or clothes start to burn? First， stop! Don't run! The fire burns faster because of more air. Drop! Fall to the floor. They roll! Turning over and over will make the fire go out. Put a blanket (毯子) around you to keep air away from the fire that may still be on you.

There are many possible causes for fires. A wise family is ready all the time. If there is a fire， don't forget to call 119 for help.

It is the largest country in South America and has the second longest river in the world. It is called the Amazon. The river is 6,440 kilometers long and runs through the world's largest rainforest (雨林). The rainforest is home to between 800,000 and 5 million kinds of plants and animals. But be careful when you swim because the biggest snake and the most terrible fish live there!

We live on Earth. It's our home. But how much do you know about it? Let me tell you something about our Earth.

The Earth is like a huge ball. Like the other seven planets, the Earth is running around the sun. It's the third nearest one to the sun. It takes the Earth about 365 days to run around the sun. At the same time, the Earth is going around itself. If you are in space, you can see lots of white clouds over the surface of the Earth. Through the clouds, you can see the blue colour of the oceans, and the brown colour of the land. About 70% of the Earth is covered(覆盖)with water.

Why do we have day and night? When the half of the Earth is facing the sun, it's daytime. As the Earth turns, and this half is away from the sun, night is coming. And it's daytime(白天) for the other half.
