吉林省四平市2020年九年级中考英语模拟试卷

阅读理解

    The world is not only hungry, but it is also thirsty for water. This may seem strange to you, since nearly 70% of the earth's surface is covered with water. But about 97% of that is sea water or salt water. Man can only drink and use the other 3% fresh water from rivers, lakes,underground and other sources. And we can not even use all of that. Even worse, some of it has been made dirty.

    However, as things stand today, this fresh water is still enough for us. But our need for water is becoming larger and larger quickly, almost day by day. We should take steps to do with this problem now and in this way we can get away from a serious world-wide water shortage(缺少)later on.

    We all have to learn how to stop wasting our valuable water. One of the first steps is to develop ways of reusing it. Today in most large cities, water is used only once and then sent out into a sewer system (下水道). From there it returns to sea or runs into underground places.

    But even if every large city reused its water, we still would not have enough. All we'd have to do to make use of sea water in the world is to remove the salt. If we take these steps we'll be in no danger of drying up.

(1)、The world is thirsty for water because_____________.
A、man hasn't got enough food to eat B、we haven't got enough fresh water C、only 70% of the earth's surface is water D、more water is sent into sewer systems

(4)、The best but the most difficult way to solve the water problem of the world is to ___________.

Travel Squad--Travel Like A Soldier

Recently, "travel squad' (特种兵式旅游) becomes a popular trip style in China. It means travel like a soldier. It's different from the relaxing kind of traveling that we all know. Visitors often go to a lot of places in a short period of time at a low cost, usually on weekends. Most of these them are college students. "Such a trip can bring a different color to my stressful life." said Chen, a 24-year-old university student. "Because it is very energy-consuming (耗体力), it is not suitable for everyone." she added.

The city of Pontevedra in Spain is great for walking and cycling. People can't drive in the city center. They make 73 percent of journeys in the city on foot or by bike. Only 30 percent of the public space is for cars. Seventy percent is for people. From 2001 to now, there are no deadly road accidents, and the CO2 level went down by 67 percent since the 1990s. 

Fun and Fitness on Bikes

A cyclist dresses up during a 16-kilometer bike ride in Moscow during the spring 2023 Velofest. Velofest is a big cycling activity in Russia. The activity was a celebration in support of bike culture and healthy lifestyles. A number of people took part and many dressed up. It meant that they want an active lifestyle and eco-friendly (环保的) way of traveling.
