浙江省湖州市2019年中考英语仿真卷(五)

阅读理解

    Many people travel to different places in the world by air. Usually it takes a long time, perhaps half a day, for passengers to stay in the plan. So airlines(航空公司)offer passengers food. But it is common that they feel bad about food taste. Do you agree?

    To solve this problem, airlines try hard to improve their food. They would like to do so because they don't want to lose customers.

    However, according to scientific research, part of the reason why plane food tastes bad is that at high altitude(海拔)we can not taste things as well as we do on the ground. Also scientists have found that our noses become very dry even before a plane takes off. As the plane moves up, the change in air pressure(气压)reduces one third of the sensibility(感觉)of our taste buds(味蕾). So our taste buds become senseless. The sad face, however, is that our noses don't know it.

    All of these help explain why food on the plane tastes so bad. They also help explain why airlines choose to offer passengers salty and spicy(辛辣的)food. Without doing so, the food would be tasteless.

    Now there are many researches on this. According to one of them, some volunteers are asked to lie with their feet higher than their heads for weeks. And scientists write down their feelings about food taste.

    Though scientists try their best, it is not as easy as they thought. Because they can't deal with the special environment successfully, such as the change in air pressure, making food taste good is still hard for them.

(1)、In Paragraph 2, "this problem" means ________.
A、passengers stay long in the plane B、food on the plane tastes bad C、passengers have no food to eat D、food on the plane is expensive
(2)、What do airlines do to solve this problem?
A、Get more customers. B、Offer more food. C、Improve their food. D、Reduce the ticket price.
(3)、Why do scientists feel it hard to made food on the plane taste good?
A、The volunteers don't know about food taste. B、The volunteers don't understand them. C、They can't find enough volunteers. D、They can't deal with the special environment successfully.
(4)、What is the best title of the passage?
A、Taste of Airplane Food B、Airplane Travel C、Scientific Research on Noses D、The Change in Air Pressure

Warming temperatures and shorter winters might sound like the end of snow days. However, rising temperatures may actually cause snowstorms to drop more snow, says David Robinson. He is a professor at a university in New Jersey. He studies climate (气候) change. 

Temperature change is one of the greatest in Earth's climate change over a long period of time. It can happen naturally or because of human activities, such as burning gas and coal. Burning these fuels produces carbon dioxide (二氧化碳) and other pollutants into the atmosphere (大气层) , which hold heat in the atmosphere, leading to warmer global temperatures over time. 

But how could warmer temperatures lead to more snow? "To get snow, you need moisture (水汽) and freezing temperatures (0℃ or less) ", says Robinson. Without moisture in the air, there is no precipitation (rain or snow) . Robinson says there are signs that snowstorms are becoming stronger. This is because of this connection between moisture and precipitation. 

"The warmer the air becomes, the more moisture it holds. So, if it's warming and still cold enough to snow, you can get more snow," Robinson says. 

Of the 10 biggest snowfalls in D. C. region, five happened in the past 25 years, according to the NWS. During that same time period, average winter temperatures in D. C. increased. In 1996, the average winter temperature was 1. 8℃. In 2020, it was 6℃. 

Weather experts suggest that rising temperatures may make winter shorter and less cold. But for now, the snow is still falling. One day, winter might not have any days below the freezing temperature. Once temperatures stay above freezing, snowstorms become rain. Until then, we might continue to see strong storms. 

According to Robinson, that time could come sooner than we think. He says, "When we look back, years from now, we may see that this was the breaking point. "

Learning about the environment is very important. There are many good books that will help you learn. To get started, ask your teacher or a librarian for some suggestions. You can also look at some good websites with information about the environment and climate change. Climate change may be a big problem, but there are many little things we can do to make a difference.

Driving a car or using electricity is not wrong. We just have to be smart about it. Some people use less energy by carpooling. For example,four people can ride together in one car instead of driving four cars to work. Whenever we use electricity, we put greenhouse gases into the air. By turning offlights, the television and the computer when they aren't needed, you can help a lot.

Don't buy products that use too much energy. Some products, like certain cars, are made specially to save energy. These don't pollute as much, either. Products like computers, TVs, and VCRs with the ENERGY STAR label(标签)R are made to save energy. Buying products with these labels will help protect the environment.

Buy recyclable products instead of (代替) non-recyclable ones. Recyclable products are usually made out of things that have already been used. It usually takes less energy to make recyclable products than to make new ones. So when you go shopping, look for the recycle mark on the package—three arrows that make a circle. The less energy we use, the better.
