2022年中考真题限时练六
Vicuna, a small town in the north of Chile, is a great place for watching stars all year round. Although it is near the sea, the cold, wet air from the coast does not bring clouds. Instead, dry winds from the desert keep the clouds away at night. In fact, the sky is so clear in Vicuna that it is possible to see many stars that can be seen only with advanced instruments in other parts of the world. In Vicuna, distant star systems such as Magellanic Clouds can be seen without the help of an instrument. That is why the town was chosen as the home of a number of sky observatories . One of them, the Mamalluca, is quite different from the typical observatories used by scientists. This observatory was built for tourists who like to look at the stars. During the year, Vicuna’s hotels accommodate thousands of tourists who come from all over the world to see the night sky as they have only seen it in books. The cloudless sky is clearly a moneymaker for the town, which plans to set up even more observatories. It was recently decided that building observatories would go on for another few years. At one point, however, the town faced a serious problem. As the town grew, more streetlights were added, making it more and more difficult to see the stars at night. The town saved the night sky by building a new system of lights that lit up the streets without influencing the view of the sky. 1. What can we learn from Paragraph 1 A.

【译文】维库纳是智利北部的一个小镇，是一个全年观赏明星的好地方。虽然它靠近大海，但来自海岸的寒冷、潮湿的空气不会带来云层。相反，来自沙漠的干风会在夜晚远离云层。事实上，维库纳的天空是如此的清晰，以至于在世界的其他地方，人们可以看到许多只有用先进的（先进的）仪器才能看到的恒星。 在维库纳，如果没有仪器的帮助，就可以看到像麦哲伦星云这样的遥远的（遥远的）恒星系统。这就是为什么这个城镇被选为一些天空天文台（天文台）的所在地。其中一个，马马卢卡，与科学家使用的典型天文台有很大的不同。这个天文台是为那些喜欢看星星的游客而建造的。在这一年里，维库纳的酒店容纳了成千上万来自世界各地的游客，因为他们只在书中看到过夜空。万里无云的天空显然是小镇的赚钱来源，小镇计划建立更多的天文台。最近有人决定建造天文台再持续几年。 然而，这个城镇却一度面临着一个严重的问题。随着城镇的发展，更多的街灯增加，使得夜晚越来越难看到星星。小镇通过建立了一个新的灯光系统，在不影响天空视野的情况下照亮街道，从而挽救了夜空。 【答案】1. C 2. C 3. A 4. B 5. B【解析】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了可以观看星星的好地方——智利北部的维库纳小镇。同时也介绍了这个地方成为观星星的好地方的原因。【1题详解】主旨大意题。通读第一段，尤其根据文中“In fact, the sky is so clear in Vicuna that it is possible to see many stars that can be seen only with advanced（先进的）instruments in other parts of the world.”可知，维库纳的天空一年四季都是晴朗的。故选C。【2题详解】推理判断题。根据文中“One of them, the Mamalluca, is quite different from the typical observatories used by scientists. This observatory was built for tourists who like to look at the stars.”可知推理出，Mamalluca服务于游客使其成为维库纳一个特殊的天文台。故选C。【3题详解】词句猜测题。根据划线词后“thousands of tourists who come from all over the world”可猜测出，应是维库纳的酒店容纳了成千上万的游客，故下划线单词“accommodate”的汉语意思最有可能是“容纳”。故选A。【4题详解】细节理解题。根据文中“As the town grew, more streetlights were added, making it more and more difficult to see the stars at night.”可知，维库纳花钱买一个新的路灯系统是因为旧的路灯使夜晚很难看到星星。故选B。【5题详解】最佳标题。文章介绍了可以观看星星的好地方——智利北部的维库纳小镇。同时也介绍了这个地方成为观星星的好地方的原因。故文章的最佳标题应是“看星星的小镇”。故选B。
