浙江省杭州市西湖区2020届九年级下学期英语一模试卷

阅读理解

    More and more people are using crowdfunding to pay for their projects and create new products. Usually, the way to do this is to use the Internet. Instead of trying to get a few people to give thousands of dollars, you get hundreds of people, maybe thousands, to give a few dollars. But this is still not easy. You want people to see the value of your idea. How will you get them to give the dollars they earn to you?

    There are websites that make this possible. Kickerstarter and GoGetFunding are popular. What you have to do is to create a short video to explain your project. Many people begin by explaining what the product is and then telling why people need it. For example, one of the most popular crowdfunded products is a watch. The Pebble watch connects with information on a smart phone that will send information to the watch. More than 65,000 people gave money for this product. And finally, Crowdfunding raised $10.3 million for it. However, it's not just products that people use crowdfunding for. People use it for their music, film, art or writing projects.

    Projects usually get from 25 to 40 percent of their money from crowdfunding sites. Who is giving all the money? When people need money, they often ask their friends and family. Crowdfunding often works the same way, but once you create your video and message, your friends share it with their friends Why do these people give? First, there is the "feel good" factor. Giving money makes people feel good. Second, many small businesses offer rewards to people. Third, sometimes the reward is simply getting to use the product. And this is part of the success of crowdfunding. You could make a difference.

(1)、What does the underlined word "crowdfunding" in Paragraph 1 probably mean?
A、A suggestion on how to show the value of your idea on the Internet. B、A test on how to use the Internet to create new products more quickly. C、A survey on how to wisely spend thousands of dollars given by people. D、A way on how to raise money from lots of people for a certain project
(2)、What might be the secret of The Pebble Watch's success according to Paragraph 2?
A、They sold the product at a low price B、They made the product carefully by hand C、They introduced the product clearly. D、They tested the product again and again.
(3)、What does the last paragraph mainly talk about?

A tiny forest is a small area of closely planted, fast growing local trees. It is created to copy a natural forest.bringing all its benefits, but for a small space in cities. The first tiny forest was planted by a Japanese plant expert, Dr. Akira Miyawaki in the 1970s. It was so great that it grew quickly in countries such as Denmark. Britain Germany, Ireland and Spain.

As the name suggests, the place doesn't have to be big. An area the size of about 200 m2 is perfect. 600 trees with as many as 40 different kinds, can be planted in the place. With 2 to 7 trees every square metre, the trees are planted much more closely than the ones in normal forests. But there's still room for the trees to grow naturally without the use of fertilizers(肥料)

To plant a tiny forest, one starts with testing the soil and choosing right kinds of trees. In cities, the soil is often in poor condition. It is important to create loose and rich soil. When the soil is prepared, the community will invite school children on a planting day. The forests need 2 to 3 years of care from children. Then the trees can become self-growing. It's believed if children plant their own forest and spend a lot of time caring for it, they will grow up to be healthy adults with a sense of responsibility for the society.

Trees and forests aren't special pieces of nature that should only exist in the countryside. They need to be apart of life in cities too

 从所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项

Who is the most famous artist in the world? If not Leonardo da Vinci, it might be Pablo Picasso(毕加索). 

Picasso(1881-1973) was one of the most famous artists of the 20th century. He had a talent for drawing. Born in Spain, Picasso showed his talent at an early age. He first learned painting from his father, who was an art teacher. By the time he was 13. he could draw better than his father. He could draw and paint just about anything, and in any style. He liked to try out new ideas. 

People put his life and art into different periods. One of his most famous periods was his Cubist period. Cubism is when an artist paints things, like a bottle, from many different angles(角度) all in the same picture. So, you see the front, the back and the sides of the bottle all at the same time. In a way, it is a bit like having x- ray(透视) eyes. 

This new way of painting surprised the art world in the 20th century. Picasso has become an idol(偶像) to many artists nowadays. People say he helped us see the world in new ways. 

So do you want to see the art of Picasso? On August 14th, an exhibition(展览) opened in Shanghai. It shows 103 of his works. The exhibition will last until October 31st. But it will not be available to the public on weekends. If you are fond of Picasso's work, don't miss this great chance!
