2022届中考英语一轮复习阅读与填空训练十三
A
Zhong Kaitong, a fourth-grader from Guangzhou, enjoyed a fun vacation this summer. Instead of attending English or math training courses, she played badminton and basketball most of the time.
A new guideline (指导方针) introduced by central authorities (中央政府) on July 24 helped Zhong enjoy some free time during the summer. Aiming to ease (减少) the schoolwork burden (负担) on primary and junior high school students, the guideline calls for reducing homework, improving the quality of education and regulating (规范) after-class activities, Xinhua reported.
According to the guideline, children below the third grade will not have homework anymore. It should take no more than 90 minutes for junior high school students to finish their homework.
Off-campus tutoring institutions (校外培训机构) are not allowed to offer overseas education courses or advanced (超前的) teaching. No subject-based (基于学科的) training will be allowed on weekends, national holidays or during winter and summer vacations.
More than 75 percent of children in Chinese cities from grades 1 to 12 are taking private (私人的) tutoring courses, Global Times reported.
“Parents are worried that if their children start behind, they will stay behind. Some training institutions have taken advantage of (利用) parents’ anxieties (焦虑) to make money,” said Chen Xianzhe, a professor at South China Normal University. “The guideline is meant to calm (安抚) the anxieties of parents and society as a whole.u”
“But this does not mean the tutoring courses will completely disappear, since exams still exist (存在),” said Chu Zhaohui, a senior researcher at the National Institute of Education Sciences. One-on-one or one-on-two tutoring might see a rise due to this need.
“Therefore, schools should improve their education quality, take the main responsibility for students’ education and not push them into tutoring courses,” Chu added.

Xu Yuanchong
Profession: translator
Lived: 1921-2021
Birthplace: Nanchang, Jiangxi
Education: National Southwest Associated University
The world has lost a great translator. Xu Yuanchong, one of the world’s most famous Chinese translators, died at the age of 100 on June 17.
Xu devoted (投入) himself to translation for more than 60 years. He published more than 100 translated novels, anthologies (选集) and plays in Chinese, English and French, reaching millions of readers around the world.
A translated work should be just as beautiful as the original (原作), Xu said. He used his creativity (创造力) to make this possible. Instead of directly translating words from one language to another, he changed the translated wording when necessary to make the text readable and relatable to readers. He translated Chinese poems into rhyming verses (押韵的诗句) in both English and French.
Thanks to his translations, English and French-speaking readers are able to better understand Chinese literature
In 2014, Xu became the first Asian winner of the Aurora Borealis Prize for Outstanding Translation of Fiction Literature (北极光杰出文学翻译奖), one of the world’s highest prizes for a translator.
Xu was a hard worker. He lived in an old house near Peking University. Every day, he would translate about 1,000 words, working until 3 to 4 am, then sleep for about three hours and get up at 6 am to continue working.
He often quoted (引用) a verse from English poet Thomas Moore’s The Young May Moon: “And the best of all ways to lengthen (延长) our days is to steal a few hours from the night.”

Chinese athletes did a great job at the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games, winning 88 medals (奖牌) in total. But did you know that there are many cool technologies – even space technologies – behind their success
Quan Hongchan, a 14-year-old diving darling who won the gold, said an AI training system helped her train. Developed by Baidu, the system analyzes (分析) a diver’s body posture (姿势) from the diving board until he or she enters the water.vA dive can last less than two seconds. But the AI can catch many important details (细节), such as the diver’s starting height, entry speed and angle (角度). These data are sent to coaches right away.
Before setting out for Tokyo, some Chinese athletes visited the China Academy of Aerospace Aerodynamics (中国航天空气动力技术研究院). The technologies there are normally used to develop rockets and missiles (导弹). But they can also help rowers (赛艇运动员), swimmers and cyclists.
“For example, rowers in the women’s quadruple sculls (四人双桨赛艇) came to my lab (实验室) and used a wind tunnel (风洞) to do experiments,” said Jia Yi from the academy. The tunnel can make winds with different speeds. “They measured (测量) the air drag (空气阻力) on their bodies. The data helped them change their movements (动作) and redesign their sport suits.”
But there’s even more. The national table tennis team has a popular “coach” called Pongbot. It’s a robot that can make difficult shots (击球) and never gets tired. Su Bingtian, the first Chinese sprinter (短跑运动员) to reach the Olympic 100-meter final, uses high-speed cameras to record his training. “The use of technology will help improve the nation’s overall competitiveness in sports,” said Huang Haiyan, a professor at the Shanghai University of Sport.
Choose the answer:
1. Paragraph 2 is written to show _____.
A. how AI helps divers train
B. how Quan trains every day
C. Quan’s personal story
D. a new program by Baidu
2. From the experiments done in the academy, rowers learned how to _____.
A. control air drag
B. generate wind
C. move faster
D. cross tunnels
3. How does technology influence the sports field
A. Sports training will become harder.
B. Athletes won’t make mistakes.
C. Coaches are no longer needed.
D. Athletes can become more competitive.

After 21 years with the soccer club, Lionel Messi is saying goodbye to Barcelona. During his time at the club, the 34-year-old Argentine brought pride to the Barcelona uniform and became a club legend (传奇) in the process.
