浙江省杭州市2018年中考英语试卷

阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中选出最佳选项。

    There is a popular Chinese saying that “Fair skin(皮肤) will make up for three flaws(缺陷)”. This mentions the fact that in Chinese culture, it is believed that people who have fair skin are more beautiful. In Western culture, however, the opposite is true — many Westerners think tanned skin is prettier. The example shows that different cultures have different ideas of what they think is beautiful. These cultural meanings of the beauty, however, are no longer important. As more and more people travel overseas, ideas about beauty are being shared among cultures. The Internet has also made it easier for people to share different types of beauty since people are always posting pictures on social media. The result is an ever-changing idea of what is considered beautiful.

    The cultural practice of ear piercings, for example, has become a part of modern day culture.

    In Kenya, it is a tradition among Masai men and women to pierce and then make their ear

    lobes( 耳 垂 ) longer using ivory and wood or stones. They then wear colorful things on their ear lobes. This is a common practice since longer ear lobes are seen as a sigh of beauty. This tradition has now found its way into present-day culture. Nowadays, this might still seem unusual to some, but with more and more well-known actors and film stars showing off their longer ear lobes, it will finally become more fashionable.

    It is understood that different cultures around the world have different ways of showing beauty. However, since we now live in a worldwide society, people's views about beauty are always changing. With the help of the Internet, people are now able to easily borrow ideas from other cultures to help them stand out. So what new fashions can we expect to see in the future?

(1)、What has made it easier for people to share ideas about beauty?
A、The development of technology. B、The popularity of the latest fashions. C、The unchanged cultural traditions. D、The world's growing population.
(2)、What can be learned about the Masai people from the passage?
A、Longer ear lobes are their new fashion. B、Only women make their ear lobes longer. C、They think longer ear lobes look beautiful. D、They make actors and film stars famous.
(3)、The underlined word “them” in the last paragraph refers to           .
A、people B、ideas C、cultures D、fashions
(4)、What is the passage mainly about?
A、People in Asian countries like fair skin better. B、Beauty is considered important in many cultures. C、Different cultures have different ideas about beauty. D、People's ideas about beauty are changing all the time.

You might have seen beautiful rainbows in the sky before. They form when sunlight falls on water drops in the air. But in fact, moonlight can also create rainbows in the same way. They are called "moonbows". They are similar to rainbows, but they are created by moonlight instead of direct sunlight.

Moonbows are less common than rainbows. Different weather and astronomical(天文学的) conditions have to be just right for moonbows to be created.

The moon has to be very low in the sky-only 42 degrees from the horizon(地平线). The moon period has to be a full moon or nearly full. The sky must be very dark for a moonbow to be watched clearly-any bright light can obscure it. Water drops must appear in the air in the opposite direction of the moon.

Moonbows appear on the opposite side of the moon and usually look white to the human eye. This is because their colors are not bright enough to be noticed by the human eye. It is possible, however, to view the colors in a moonbow using long exposure (长时间曝光) photography.

Moonbows more often appear in some locations around the world. Most of these locations usually have waterfalls, which create thin fog in the air. Some of these locations are the Yosemite National Park in California and Cumberland Falls State Resort Park in Kentucky, US; Victoria Falls on the border of Zambia and Zimbabwe; and Waimea in Hawaii, US.

Moonbows do really happen. So at a certain time and a certain place, when a moonbow happens to appear, you can't miss it if you're right there.
