湖北省荆门市2021年初中英语学业水平适应性考试英语试卷

阅读理解

In a perfect world, everything would be free. Until then, earning discounts (折扣) for doing things you would probably already be doing-like walking to work-is the next best thing.

According to The Daily Dot, a free iOS app called Miles lets you earn points simply by getting up and going somewhere. When you earn enough points, you'll be able to get gift cards and discounts for businesses like Amazon, Starbucks and Whole Foods.

The app is created to encourage eco-friendly travel, so the reward points you get depend on your transport. One mile in a car translates to one point, but a ride in an Uber or Lyft will get you double the points. Public transportation helps you get three points per mile, biking is five points per mile, and walking is 10 points per mile. Flying, on the other hands, will only give you 0.1 point per mile.

The trips will be recorded by the app itself. Of course, users have to allow the app to track their location at all times, which might make some people unhappy. The app's CEO said the information collected from the app wouldn't be shared with others.

How far do you need to travel to get the rewards? Well, if you want to get something like a $5 Starbucks or Amazon gift card, you are supposed to have 2,500 points—that is 250 miles of walking. The app isn't available on Android but it should be coming soon.

(1)、The first two paragraphs are mainly to _______________.
A、encourage people to travel B、encourage people to walk to work C、introduce a new app D、introduce some businesses'
(2)、which of the following can show the points you get (from the low points to the high ones)?
A、Riding a bike → walking →flying B、Riding in a Lyft →flying →walking. C、Flying → taking a bus →riding a bike. D、Taking a bus →riding a bike →flying.
(3)、How far do you need to walk if you want to get a $15 Amazon gift card?
A、250 miles. B、500 miles. C、125 miles. D、750 miles.
(4)、In which part of a newspaper can we find the passage?
A、INVENTION B、CULTURE C、SPORT D、TRAVEL
举一反三

 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。

In a high mountain area in central Utah stands the world's oldest, heaviest and largest tree, Pando. And it's dying!

Pando means "I spread" in Latin and it's a name that makes sense. Pando is a big group of trees that all grow from the same roots(根). They look separate but are all joined underground by their roots. With all these roots joined, the whole group of trees can share water and food. 

    ▲    . In summer, animals(mule deer and cattle) feed on the new leaves, making it difficult for the trees to grow. The number of mule deer has even increased because their natural enemies(mountain lions, bears) have disappeared. The second problem is from people. Hikers and campers like this area because of the colourful leaves in autumn. But getting too close and stepping on the new growth has made Pando smaller and thinner over the last 50 years. 

Protecting Pando is challenging. Putting fences(栅栏) around it to keep animals away has helped new growth. But deer are smart, and they've found ways to get through the fences. Other efforts have included cutting or burning part of Pando to encourage new growth. Pando grows back very quickly after a forest fire, and these fires do not reach temperatures that would kill its root system. 

Michael Grant, one of the scientists who helped name Pando, warns if the trees are in trouble, the whole ecosystem will be in danger too. We need to make people understand the long-term effects of our actions. 

 阅读短文,从每小题所给的四个选项中,选出能回答所提问题或完成所给句子的最佳答案。

If you wake up one day and decide to build a house, how will you begin? Get some tools and build it at once? Or think carefully and prepare everything first? Of course, the second way is better. Why? Because you make a plan for your goal (目标)!

Many people have goals like getting better grades or finding a better job. But without a plan for reaching those goals, only 8 percent of these people will finally be successful. ____? First, it stops you spending time on meaningless things. Also, it helps you know better what to do step by step. What's more, if you make a good plan, you'll be surprised at how much you can reach. Last, by making a plan, you will know the problems you meet on the way to success and try your best to solve them.

The importance of having a plan is now clear, but do you know how to make your own plan?

Step 1: Put your goal down on a piece of paper. In this way, you will be more sure about it.

Step2: Cut your goal into small parts and make plans for them. So you will be clearer about what you can do step by step.

Step 3: Read your plan every day. Believe it or not, a plan is no good if you never look at it.

Step 4: Tell a friend about your plan. You may need his or her help when you can't follow it.

Remember: "A goal without a plan is just a wish." Once you make a plan for your goal and try your best to follow it, you will hardly fail.

 请阅读下面短文, 根据所提供的信息, 回答下面问题, 要求所写答案语法正确,语义完整切题。

Long time ago, people from other cultures used their hands to eat food, while the ancient Chinese invented chopsticks to keep their hands clean. Early chopsticks were used mainly for cooking until 400 A. D. when people began eating with chopsticks.

We don't know exactly when chopsticks were invented. There's a research showing that they didn't come into wide use until about 300 B. C. Chinese thinker Confucius was an important person in the history of chopsticks, because he thought peace would not appear if people used knives during a meal.

The"no-knives-on-the-table" rule led to a big change in Chinese cooking. Food had to be cut into small pieces. This was the birth of Chinese cooking and it has made Chinese food popular around the world.

However, many Westerners find it difficult to use chopsticks. Eric, a foreign teacher, had the experience of learning to use chopsticks. "I need to hold them properly to be able to put the food carefully into my mouth." Eric' s Chinese friends taught him patiently, but it still took him months to learn this skill. "But it's worth learning. I have learned a lot from this experience," Eric said.

Cultures can often be understood through food. For Chinese, food doesn't just provide energy. It also brings happiness. And chopsticks also mean a lot. As a good example of Chinese culture, they show the Chinese wisdom(智慧).
