甘肃省金昌市2020年中考英语一模试卷

阅读短文,根据其内容回答文后各个小题。

As is known to all, "I am sorry" is the phrase we hear most in daily communication in Britain. What does it mean? Does it always mean you apologize (道歉) for what you have done wrong?

Let us review a scene happening in a British street one day. A young man walked down a road playing with his smart phone when a lady came over in his opposite direction. The man tried in vain to give his way to the lady in time. As a result, he bumped (碰撞) into the lady. As a rule in China, the man must say" I am sorry.”" first,because he was so busy playing with his smart phone that he got in the way of the lady. However, both the persons apologized to each other by saying "I am sorry. "Why is this the case? As a matter of fact, the phrase "I am sorry." takes on another meaning in Britain. Anyone should speak to the other this way if either of them creates inconvenience. They apologize is way just to avoid unnecessary fights between them.

Another cultural difference about "I am sorry." can also be found at British restaurants. Supposing an old woman says to a waiter in a pub (酒馆)," I am sorry,but can I order another drink? "This time you must realize it doesn't mean she apologizes to the waiter for what she has done wrong, but means she really needs the waiter to do something for her.

A、common B、special C、right D、wrong

When most kids go to the beach, they're always busy playing with sand. But for Cash Daniels, the plastic straws(吸管) on the beach made him start a lifelong career(事业) in saving the planet.

Now Cash is 14 years old,and he has had a really positive influence(积极的影 响) on his hometown. Besides organizing river cleanups, he has written a children's book about river pollution. He has also raised enough money to put 17 recycling bins(回收箱) along the Tennessee River.

Cash has always loved nature. Once he learned that 80% of waste from land and rivers ends up in the ocean, he couldn't sit back and do nothing.

With the help of his family, Cash took the first step — cleaning up the river. It quickly went from a family act to a community(社区) activity with hundreds of volunteers and neighbours.

"I started The Cleanup Kids with my friend Ella," Cash said. "We want to make a difference first in the place where we live. We also want to teach kids how their actions are influencing the water and the ocean."

"The ocean is important. Everyone should take care of it. If you love the ocean and love what lives in it — you'll want to protect it," Cash continued. "We have only one Earth. Every little action matters. One person can make a positive change if he simply stands up and joins in."

Nowadays, natural disasters(灾害) happen from time to time around us, such as earthquakes, wildfires and typhoons.Here are some things about wildfire.

Wildfires are unexpected and unplanned.And the cause of most wildfires is unsure.To burn, wildfires require the right conditions — fuel, oxygen and heat.And global warming is one of the most important reasons.The high temperatures and dry conditions make the fire spread quickly.

In many parts of the world, wildfires happen naturally.They are started by lightning(闪电) or some other special weather conditions.In recent years, there have been more wildfires because of dry, hot weather, and changeable weather patterns.

However, many wildfires are started by people.Sometimes, people clear land for farming.Besides, there are smokers who accidentally set fires.

Wildfires can cause a lot of smoke, which will pollute the air.Lots of lives, property(财产) and valuable forests will soon disappear in wildfires.When trees are burnt down, and heavy rain follows, more disasters such as terrible floods will happen.
