（2022·广东·统考中考真题）Jerry is a world-famous mountain climber. He has climbed many high mountains in the world. Starting in 2015, he and his friends spent two years on an adventure（探险）in South America, covering 7,800 miles. He was even named Adventure of the Year by a famous geography magazine in 2018.
Although Jerry had achieved great success, he didn’t feel fulfilled. He asked himself, “Is it enough to climb the highest mountains Am I doing something helpful How can I turn my adventures into something that can help the world ”
Jerry learned that scientists need plants, rocks and water samples（样本）from the places far away to do research.

（2021·广东深圳·统考中考真题）When I was a girl growing up, I cannot once ever remember either my mum or my grandma wasting food.
Anything we didn't eat at one meal was leftovers（剩菜）. I can remember my grandma making a huge pot of potatoes. We would all eat until we were full enough, but there were always about half of the potatoes leftover. A few days later, Grandma would take those potatoes out of the fridge, boil some noodles, add some vegetables and mix them all together. And I also remember when I watched my mum fry bacon （煎培根）for us in the mornings, she would always take the oil carefully and pour it into a bottle. Then she would use it later to add flavor to so many other dishes. I was an adult before I realized that potatoes didn't actually taste like bacon!
I learned their lessons well, and after I grew up, I tried to never waste food myself. I always planned the week’s meals ahead of time and only bought what was on my shopping list so that nothing went to waste. Every meal went into our stomachs and any leftovers were later eaten by either myself my boys, my husband or, my dogs. To me, throwing food into the bin was just wrong.
However, when it comes to living, there are no leftovers. Life is just like a feast. Each moment that you don’t live is lost forever. Life cannot be saved or stored. Each day is a fresh beginning. Live each moment of your life to the fullest, then.

（2021·广东深圳·统考中考真题）Can plants talk Modern research has found something amazing: they do communicate with each other.
It has been known for some time that plants use chemicals to communicate with each other. This happens when a plant gets attacked by insects. The plant gives out chemicals from the leaves that are being eaten. This is like a warning, or a call for help: “I’m being attacked!” When another plant gets the chemicals, it starts to give out its own, different chemicals. Some of these chemicals drive insects away. Others attract the wasps（黄蜂; 蜜蜂）! The wasps kill the insects that are eating the plants. Scientists hope to learn more about this plant warning system, so that we can use it to grow more crops.
More surprisingly, plants also use sound to communicate. People can’t hear these sounds; but plants are making them. Some plants make noises with their and chili plants do this. Some trees make clicking noises when there is not enough water.
Most surprisingly of all, plants have an amazing system of communication that can link nearly every plant in a forest. Scientists call this system the “wood wide web” . The wood wide web is linked underground by fungi（霉菌）. It links the roots of different plants to each other. It is in some ways similar to the Internet we use. Using the wood wide web, plants can share information and even food with each other. However, it may lead to bad effects. Plants may use it to steal food from each other, or spread chemicals to attack other plants. Perhaps one day scientists will learn how to create a “firewall” to help prevent these attacks within the wood wide web.
Scientists are learning more every day about the secret ways in which plants talk to each other. Maybe one day we will know enough about plant communication to be able to “talk” with them ourselves.
21．What will plants do when they are attacked by insects
A．They will kill the insects by themselves.
B．They will control the wasps to kill the insects.
C．They will send out signals to ask for help.
D．They will produce chemicals as a warning or a call for help.
22．How are the wood wide web linked by fungi
A．By making noises with their roots.
B．By connecting the roots of different plants to each other.
C．By sharing food and information with each other.
D．By spreading chemicals to each other.
23．What is the writer’s intention of the last paragraph
A．To give people hope for further studies.
B．To praise scientists for their great achievements.
C．To call on people to protect the plants on Earth.
D．To inspire people to communicate with plants.

（2021·广东·统考中考真题）According to a research more than 130 billion pounds of uneaten food go to waste in Laura’s country each year. That is about 30% of the yearly food supply (供应). It is a sad fact especially when you consider how many families and homeless people are in hunger.
When Laura saw her school dining hall throw away food that was not eaten at all every day, she came up with an idea. She started a project to help her school dining hall to give away uneaten food to homeless shelters (庇护所) in her community. In the past three years, the same project has spread to other schools and some fast food restaurants throughout the city. The project is called Feed& find, and has already fed thousands of people in her city.
How does it work Through an app, Feed& Find matches local homeless shelters with school dining halls and restaurants that have uneaten food to provide. When dining halls or restaurants have uneaten food left, they can use the app to share the information about the food. A truck driver working for the project is then sent to pick it up and take it to a shelter.
Pretty cool, right It’s not surprising that people in other cities have got in touch with Laura hoping that she could have developed similar projects for their communities.
Some people, however, have concerns about the safety of the uneaten food. They think such food may not be clean enough. Still, this project is a clever way to help solve the problem of food waste and it helps those in need.

During the Beijing 2022 Winter Olympics, the panda-themed mascot (吉祥物), Bing Dwen Dwen, becomes a superstar. People of all ages and from different countries love it. But do you know since when a mascot has become an important part in the Olympic games
The first mascot in the Olympics games was a cartoon character at the 1968 Grenoble Winter Olympics, although it was not an official mascot.

However, the first official mascot was made public in the 1972 Munich Olympics. It was designed by Elena Winschermann. It was called Waldi the Dachshund (Weiner Dog). Waldi’s idea first took shape three years before the games at a Christmas party where the designers were given color pens and were asked to doodle anything that they think can represent (代表) the games and the country as well.
The success of these first mascots helped the mascots become an official symbol of the games and they became necessary for every edition which took place from 1980. The mascots are designed to show the excitement around the country and are filled with bright colors to give it a look of a festival.

B
Is it possible to look through the Internet, talk with your friends on apps, or even read a map on your coat in the near future Yes, your coat!
It may sound silly, but it’s something scientists are working on. Researchers at Shanghai’s Fudan University have made a new type of cloth that can be used as a digital screen. Professor Peng Huisheng and his team have spent 10 years trying to make “digital cloth”. The first is to find out the right thread（线）. After testing many of them, they choose two special ones: One can light up, and the other can conduct（传导）electricity.
The results have been admirable. The cloth is not only wearable and foldable, but also washable. After being put through 100 wash-and-dry cycles in a washing machine and folded 10,000times, the cloth kept almost unchanged. It is just like putting a phone screen into the coat. Wear it and then it can show you a lot of information you want.
Peng believes that the new cloth could be used for many things. For example, it could allow a driver to view a GPS map on their arm while they drive around. It could also help people communicate better if they have language difficulties or disabilities.
In one test, Peng’s team collected brainwaves from volunteers who had either been playing a game or meditating. The waves were then turned into messages like “nervous” or “relaxed” and shown on the cloth. This could help deaf-mute（聋哑的）people “talk” to each other in the future.
“We hope that new materials will shape next-generation（下一代）electronic devices by changing the way we communicate with them,” said Peng.

If you love reading books, you must know about the book The Little Prince. It’s a famous novel written by a French writer. As one of the best-selling books in history, it has been sold as many as 200 million copies in 253 languages. In 2015, around seventy years after the birth of the book, an American director has found a way to make it into a 3D animated film (动画片).
The book tells the story of a pilot, called The Aviator, who crashes (撞击) into the desert and meets a young prince there. However, in the film, the story starts years after the crash when The Aviator is much older. He has got a new neighbor called The Little Girl, whose mother wants her to get ready to enter the grown-up world. Slowly, The Aviator shares his story with The Little Girl by writing it down and sending her a page at a time. The pages are complete with the pictures in the book, speaking about his time in the desert and taking The Little Girl to an amazing world where anything is possible.
China is the first country in the world to see the film in two versions (版本)—in Chinese and English. The film shows The Little Girl’s life and tells The Little Prince’s story at the same time in a beautiful way.
Huang Lei, who voices the film together with his 9-year-old daughter, says the film is like a childhood dream which is lost by most adults in this stressed-out society.
