辽宁省铁岭市西丰振兴中学2024年中考一模英语试题

 阅读下面语言材料,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。

Imagine a perfect day: the weather is good and everything seems fine. When, suddenly, your mobile phone loses its signal, the television has no programmes, and you can't get online with your computer.

What has happened? These are just the types of problems a solar storm(太阳风暴)might cause. You may not think of storms as putting our society in danger. But today, a solar storm is as serious as other bad events, such as earthquakes.

A solar storm is caused by solar flares(太阳耀斑): large explosions(爆炸)near the Sun that can give off lots of energy. The strong energy can stop the satellite systems(卫星系统)that control our computers, telecom networks and so on. These storms can even cause the power to go out for weeks or months.

Scientists have recorded some of the strongest sun flares in years. One happened around Valentine's Day, 2011. It caused radio and satellite signals to go down in some northern cities in China.

"Solar flare activity is going to be much worse than what we've seen in the past. We're not talking about a few cities losing power, it could behalf of the country, maybe more," Solar Storm Warning.com, a US website about space weather, warned.

Scientists say that little can be done to predict such a storm. Governments around the world are trying to work together before the next storm, although they are not sure when that may happen.

(1)、From the first two paragraphs we can know solar storms are ____ our society.
A、good for B、far from C、seldom in D、harmful to
(2)、Which is the right order of the following things?

a. Solar flares give off lots of energy、     b. People cannot get online with their computers.

c. Solar storms happen. d. Satellite systems are stopped.

A、a-b-c-d B、a-c-d-b C、c-a-b-d D、c-b-a-d
(3)、The radio and satellite signals went down in some northern cities in China, 2011, because____.
A、a solar storm stopped B、an earthquake happened C、a strong sun flare happened D、the satellite systems didn't work
(4)、What is the writer's main purpose in writing the text?
A、To introduce what solar storms are to people. B、To ask people to prevent the solar storm from happening. C、To tell people how to solve the problems caused by solar storms. D、To call for scientists to predict when the next solar storm will happen.

 阅读下列短文,从下而毎小题的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项

With the growth of pet owners as well as the rise of "Its Economy?,pet cafes, a new business model, are becoming increasingly popular across the country.

For Yu Miao, a cat owner in Hangzhou when she chooses a coffee shop, what matters most is whether it is pet-friendly. ‘There are so many coffee shops in Hangzhou. As a cat owner, I sometimes take my cat out, and I would like to choose a coffee shop that allows my cat to be with me in it," she said.

China's first cat-friendly coffee shop opened in Guangzhou in 2011. With the number of animal lovers like Yu growing in recent years, pet-friendly coffee shops are sprouting up like mushrooms after a spring shower. In February this year, there were more than 4,000 pet-friendly coffee shops in China.

With the development of pet ownership market, pet-friendly coffee shops in other cities are also enjoying wide popularity." During weekends, sometimes visitors have to wait in line before being seated. As customers are all here to enjoy themselves with animals, they think the experience is worth the visit.'' said a pet-friendly coffee shop owner in Beijing.

In Shenzhen, Heytea runs a pet-friendly theme store in Xihui city, Luohu District. The theme store meets nearly all the needs of pet lovers and provides them with a fantastic experience. 

Pet-friendly coffee shop can be mainly divided into two types. One keeps cats and dogs in the shop and enables customers to play with them. Customers need to pay for admission fees in addition to the costs of drinks and snacks. Taking Shanghai as an example, admission tickets for time- limited cat cafes are from 40 yuan to 200 yuan per hour.
