2024年江苏省中考英语专练：阅读理解
Different lakes have different colors. A study in 2020 shows that around one third of the world’s lakes are blue. But global (全球的) warming may turn them to green or even brown.
Xiao Yang from SMU in the US and his team looked at the color of over 85,000 lakes based on their satellite photos from 2013 to 2020. They found that lakes in places with cooler average (平均) summer temperatures were more likely to be blue than lakes in places with warmer summers.
The study said that water molecules (分子) absorb (吸收) the long wavelengths from the sunlight, such as red, orange and yellow. They leave behind the short ones. This makes a lake look green and blue. So the cleaner the water, the bluer it looks.
In warmer lakes, algae (水藻) and phytoplankton (浮游植物) grow easily. Their colors are green and even brown. They give the lake a different color. If the temperature goes on to rise because of climate change, the study said that one in ten blue lakes might change colour.
Humans get their drinking water from lakes, streams and ground water. As lakes become greener, people may lose lots of clean water. Because of this, treating the water of such lakes becomes more expensive.
At the same time, blue lakes are also a source of a place to play. Catherine O’Reilly, a co-author of the study, says some people considered blue lakes as a refuge (避难所) or spiritual (精神上的) place. As these blue lakes disappear, they may feel sad.
For lake animals, the development of algae and phytoplankton in greener lakes can provide more food. But more algae and phytoplankton mean less oxygen (氧气) for the lake animals, and this may kill them.
1．Which is not the reason that lakes change colours
A．The temperature. B．The amount of algae and phytoplankton.
C．The lake animals. D．The wavelengths they absorb.
2．Which of the following is TRUE
A．Global Warming might make one third of the lakes dirtier.
B．The more long wavelengths it absorbs, the bluer the lake will be.
C．When a lake has a brown colour, the water in the lake takes in less sunlight.
D．More and more algae and phytoplankton are good for the lake animals.
3．Which of the following would be the best title for this passage
A．Climate Change Kills Animals B．Clear Lakes Under Trouble
C．Why Global Warming Happens D．Warmer Summers, Bluer Lakes

The pirates, the Lost Boys, the Indians and the beasts are all walking round and round the island in a circle (圆). They never catch each other because they are all walking at the same speed. At the end of the procession, there is an enormous crocodile (鳄鱼). The boys are the first to leave the circle. They disappear very quickly into their home under the ground. The entrances to their home are in seven large trees. There’s one for each Lost Boy—Nibs, Slightly, Tootles, Curly, the Twins—and one for Peter Pan. Each boy enters through a hole in the trunk (枝干) of his tree. Hook does not know where their home is, but he wants to find it.
Later Nibs goes out for a walk. While he is walking through the woods, the pirates see him. Starkey, the ship’s mate, takes out his pistol (手枪) but Hook stops him and says, “No. I don’t want to shoot one Lost Boy. I want to kill all of them. Go and look for them! I want to find their house!”
The pirates disappear into the woods. Now Captain Hook and Mr. Smee, the ship’s bosun, are alone. Hook begins to talk about the Lost Boys.
“I want Peter Pan, Smee,” he says. “Peter Pan and the crocodile made me lose my left hand.”
“Oh, yes. I know that you are afraid of crocodiles,” says Smee.
“I am not afraid of all crocodiles,” explains Hook quickly. “Just one crocodile. It has my hand and now it wants to eat the rest of me.” Then he sits down on a large mushroom.
“Smee,” he says. “That crocodile wants to kill me, but luckily it has a clock inside it. The clock makes a noise: tick-tock, tick-tock. When I hear the tick-tock of the clock, I have time to run away before the crocodile can catch me.”

It was dark. Holmes, Lestrade and I moved towards the house. “Let’s wait here,” Holmes said. “We can hide behind these rocks. Watson, go to the house and see what they are doing. Make sure they don’t see you.” I hid behind a wall. I could see Mr.Stapleton and Sir Henry sitting at a table.

The hound ran after Sir Henry. Holmes and I both fired our guns. We hit it but the hound didn’t stop. It jumped on Sir Henry and pushed him to the ground. Holmes pointed his gun and shot the hound five times. The giant hound was dead.
Sir Henry was lying on the path. We ran to him and found he was alive.
I put my hand on the hound’s glowing face and found my own fingers glowed in the dark. “Phosphorous (含磷的),” I said.
We walked towards Merripit House to search for Stapleton. In the house we didn’t find him, but we found Mrs.Stapleton tied up in a bedroom. We untied her. When she knew Sir Henry was alive and the hound was dead, she cried, “Thank God!”

Two years ago, the space teacher, Wang Yaping, made some experiments in the Tianhe Core Module of the Chinese Space Station.
Ye Guangfu was working hard to walk, but his body floated（漂浮）! Then he tried to turn around, but he couldn’t. “In space, astronauts are in a weightless environment. Taking a spacewalk is difficult. So we need to use nearby devices（装置）to move,”he said.
In the “Tiangong Classroom”, Wang Yaping made a beautiful water film（水膜）. Then she took out a paper flower and placed it on the film of water. The pink flower slowly “bloomed（开花）”!“I hope your dreams can bloom in the huge universe!” she said.
The density（密度）of a ping pong is less than that of the water, so it floats up on the earth. But in space, the ball does not float up. It stops in the center of the water! “The buoyancy（浮力）disappears in a weightless environment so the ball cannot float,” Ms.Wang explained.
28．Why did Ye Guangfu feel difficult to turn around
A．Because he was good at floating.
B．Because there was not enough space for him.
C．Because he was walking too fast.
D．Because he was in a weightless environment.

A．It was made of paper. B．It was a red flower.
C．It grew well in water films. D．She grew flowers in space.
30．Why didn’t the ping pong ball float up in the experiment
A．It was made of steel.

Fan Shenghua, is one of the inheritors (继承人) of West Lake Longjing tea roasting technique (炒茶技艺). He has been making Longjing tea for more than forty years.
Longjing tea leaves are famous for their color, taste and shape.
“You have to touch the leaves with your hands to feel how much water is being removed (去除),” Fan said. “If too much is removed, the leaves will break into pieces; if not enough is removed, the tea will taste bitter (苦的).”
This traditional technique dates back to the Ming and Qing dynasties. It not only makes the tea taste good, but has also become an important part of Chinese tea culture.
These days, however, more people are using machines to do the job. “It’s easier, but the quality is not as good,” Fan said. “Machine-made tea floats longer in water and tastes bitter.”
In March this year, when President Xi Jinping visited Hangzhou, he watched Fan roast tea. Fan changed the strength and movement of his hands as he roasted leaves. Xi later said, “The things made by two palms (手掌) cannot be replaced by modern technology.”
Fan is now teaching some young men. His son, a 27-year-old college graduate, is one of them. “It’s a tradition. We need to pass it down,” he said.
31．According to Paragraph 3, what will happen to tea leaves if they have too much water
A．They will go bad quickly. B．They will break into pieces.
C．They will lose their fresh taste. D．They will have a bitter taste.
32．What does the underlined part “this traditional technique” refer to
A．Picking tea leaves. B．Roasting tea leaves by hand.
C．Drinking tea in a traditional way. D．Growing tea plants on the mountains.
33．What does Fan think of making tea by machine
A．It is easier than by hand. B．It has a long history in China.
C．It makes tea taste better and better. D．It becomes an important part of tea culture.
34．What does the passage mainly want to tell us
A．How to tell good tea part from bad tea.
B．Longing tea leaves are the best in the world.
C．How tea is packed and sent to many different countries.
D．Sometimes only by hand can we make the best of the thing.

We’ve made some money.’”可知，男孩想再次和老人一起去钓鱼。根据倒数第三段“Can I offer you a beer on the Terrace and then we’ll take the fishing tools home ”可知，这个男孩帮老人把钓鱼工具带回家。根据最后一段“They sat on the Terrace and many of the fishermen made fun of the old man but he was not angry.”可知，这个男孩看到老人在露台上被人嘲笑。可知，男孩活动的正确顺序是：②③④①。故选B。

23．推理判断题。通读全文可知，这位老人独自在海上钓鱼，在一段时间里并没有钓到鱼，但他并没有放弃，也没有气馁，也不在乎别人对他的嘲笑，继续坚持自己的信念，由此可知他是一个意志坚强的人。故选D。
