2022届中考英语一轮复习阅读与填空训练十
A
Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh, passed away on the morning of April 9, 2021, at the age of 99. He was the longest-serving royal consort (亲王) in British history and his death was a historic moment for the UK. When I first saw the news online, I thought it was fake. But after I checked the news, I realized it was true.
News said that Prince Philip “inspired the lives of countless young people”. At first, I was puzzled at how he had inspired young people, but then I remembered the Duke of Edinburgh Awards, which I am part of. These awards, founded by Prince Philip, focus on helping young people and encouraging them to build skills, confidence, and resilience (坚韧). It shows that education should not only be about academics (学术成绩), but also extracurricular (课外的) activities.
I started taking part in the DofE awards in Year 9, beginning at the awards’ first level – Bronze – and I am currently doing the Silver level in Year 10. To earn a DofE award, you need to complete at least three months’ worth of activities in three areas: volunteering, physical and skills, as well as going on a camping trip that you plan in groups. The awards are for young people between the ages of 14 and 25. Personally, I found the camping trip to be the most important because it teaches you how to work with people and how to plan things. All of my friends who have taken part in the DofE awards think they are incredibly motivational (有激励作用的).
The royal family has always faced criticism (批评), but many people support them because they have made valuable contributions (贡献) to charity and education not just in the UK, but in other countries as well.

What kind of shoes do you wear most Perhaps leather shoes or sports shoes. But Chinese people used to wear hand-made cloth shoes.
According to historical records, ordinary people were not allowed to wear boots (靴子) during the Ming Dynasty (1368-1644). Because of this, cloth shoes became popular, especially in Sichuan province.
Tangchang, a town in Chengdu, is known for making multi-sole (千层底的) cloth shoes, which means the shoes’ soles are made of many layers of cloth. Tangchang cloth shoes have been made for more than 700 years.
There are 32 steps to make a pair of Tangchang cloth shoes. The soles and upper parts of the shoes are made in a unique way, representing the traditional skill of cloth shoemaking in the western part of Sichuan. For example, the sole’s edges (边缘) are not covered with cloth. They look fluffy (毛绒绒的). This is done through repeated polishing (打磨) and trimming (修剪).
With over 20 types, Tangchang cloth shoes are strong, breathable, and friendly to the environment. In 2018, they were added to Sichuan’s intangible cultural heritage list.

Master’s story
In 2018, when President Xi Jinping visited Chengdu, he went to Lai Shufang’s cloth shoe store. Lai wanted to gave the president a pair of shoes as a gift. But Xi insisted (坚持) on buying them himself.
Lai, now 63, is a master of making Tangchang cloth shoes. She has spent over 40 years making the shoes.
Inspired by her father, who was also a shoemaker, Lai worked at a cloth shoe factory after finishing high school. It took her three years to master the skills that are needed to make the shoes. She said the most important step is making the soles.
Layers of white cloth are covered with paste (糨糊) made from flour (面粉). “To make proper paste, we have to keep the hot water at an exact temperature of 85 C. If it’s too low or too high, the paste will fail,” Lai said. After this, the layered cloth is beaten again and again until it is tight (紧实的) enough to make soles.
In 1998, Lai lost her job when the factory closed. She decided to open a small factory on her own. Her two younger sisters also joined in. Later, she opened her own store.
In 2015, her son Ai Peng, 38, was inspired to quit his job to help his mother. Ai added Shu embroidery patterns to make the shoes more fashionable. He also set up window displays (展示) to present the steps used to make shoes, teaching more people about the art.
1. When did cloth shoes start to gain popularity
A. Before the Ming Dynasty.
B. During the Ming Dynasty.
C. When Tangchang cloth shoes were invented.
D. After they were listed as a form of cultural heritage.
2. Tangchang cloth shoes are named after _____.
A. their creator
B. their material
C. a town in Sichuan
D. a shoemaking skill
3. What does Paragraph 4 explain
A. Why cloth shoes used to be popular.

On March 11, 2011, a big earthquake in Japan damaged the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant (核电站), leading to the release of radiation (辐射). Ten years later, the damaged plant is still causing problems for the whole world.
Japan recently made a decision to dump over 1 million tons of nuclear wastewater, enough to fill 500 Olympic-sized swimming pools, into the Pacific Ocean in two years. It’s the same water that was used to cool the damaged reactors (核反应堆) at the Fukushima power plant.
Many people are worried and angry about the decision, as the water has radioactive contaminants (放射性污染物). According to the US Environmental Protection Agency, radiation can make people feel sick. High levels of radiation can result in cancer and even death.
The Tokyo Electric Power Company, which runs the plant, said that they have removed over 62 radioactive contaminants from the water. The major contaminant remaining is tritium (氚), which is difficult to separate from water.
Some organizations doubt whether the treated water is truly safe. Back in 2018, experts found a large number of radioactive elements other than tritium, such as carbon-14 (碳-14), cobalt-60 (钴-60) and strontium-90 (锶-90), in treated wastewater. International NGO Greenpeace warns about the danger of carbon-14, which “has the potential (可能性) to damage human DNA.”
According to the German Marine Scientific Research Institute, if Japan dumps the wastewater, radioactive materials will spread to most of the Pacific Ocean within 57 days, and reach all of the world’s oceans in a decade.
As a close neighboring country, China expressed serious concern as well. A spokesperson for the Chinese Foreign Ministry said on April 13 that Japan made the decision without using all possible means (方法) for safe disposal (处理), adding that it is highly irresponsible and will affect the health of many people.

It’s not easy to make an award-winning film. It’s even harder for a filmmaker to win a lifetime achievement award. Chinese director Ang Lee was recently given this honor by the British Academy of Film and Television Arts.
The academy called him “one of the world’s most pioneering (先锋的) and revered (可敬的) contemporary (当代) filmmakers”. He has made many classic films in different genres (类型). More importantly, whether it’s an Eastern or Western story, he is able to bring out its “original flavor”, Sohu News said.
Lee came to fame in the 1990s with a comedy trilogy (三部曲) that he calls Father Knows Best. In these three films, he told stories about Chinese families. The success of the trilogy paved his way to Hollywood.v He then was hired to direct an adaptation (改编) of the British novel Sense and Sensibility (《理智与情感》), as well as the American drama The Ice Storm and superhero movie Hulk. His career reached a peak with Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon (《卧虎藏龙》). The film is an exciting combination of different genres – historical romance, martial arts and the classic American Western (美国西部片）.
Lee’s deep understanding of both East and West comes from his life experience. Born in Taiwan, Lee later studied filmmaking in the US. After graduation, he stayed in Hollywood to look for opportunities. He experienced six years of “development hell” in which he had nearly no income and no chance to direct.
But Lee says the “movie gods” have been very good to him, so he values every chance. In recent years, he has been trying new filmmaking technology, including high-frame rate (高帧率) filming, 3D and other innovations (创新) that he believes are the future of film. “A part of you has to keep honest and fresh. I just hope my whole career is like a never-ending film school,” Lee said.
