Passage C
（2019中考日常生活类训练）
Though many countries have laws against the illegal ivory trade (反对非法象牙贸易), tens of thousands of African elephants are killed every year.
In January, 2014, hundreds of elephant tusks (象牙) as well as ivory sculptures were put into two large crushing machines (粉碎机) in Guangdong, China. In all, more than six tons of ivory were destroyed. People called the event an ivory crush. In November, 2013, the similar event happened in Colorado, America. There, wildlife officials also destroyed more than six tons of ivory.
Though it may sound strange, wildlife officials are crushing ivory to help save African elephants. Stephanie Wang, who works for the Wildlife Protection Society in New York City, says, “We try to let the world know that we don’t think ivory is valuable when it’s not on an elephant.” Each year, poachers kill elephants, cut off their long tusks and take the tusks out of Africa secretly. Then they sell the tusks and get thousands of dollars. The buyers use the ivory to make sculptures, jewellery and traditional medicines.?
The purpose of recent ivory crushes is to send a message to the poachers and those who buy illegal ivory. Stephanie Wang says, “China’s ivory crush is ‘an important step’. However, it is only a small amount (数量) of the illegal ivory. If we don’t stop the illegal ivory trade, African elephants could disappear from the wild within 10 years.”
1. The writer mentions ______ ivory crush(es) in the passage.
?????? A. one???? B. two???? C. six???????????? D. twelve
2. What can we infer from the passage?
?????? A. There are too many elephants in China.
?????? B. Chinese people can’t afford ivory sculptures.?
?????? C. American people never buy ivory sculptures.
?????? D. Wildlife officials are against the ivory trade.
3. What does the underlined word “poachers” mean in Chinese?
?????? A. 偷捕动物的人? B. 热爱动物的人
?????? C. 虐待动物的人? D. 训练动物的人
4. According to Stephanie Wang, ______.
?????? A. it’s not a good idea to crush ivory
?????? B. all of the ivory trade is in China
?????? C. we should do a lot to protect African elephants?
?????? D. African elephants will disappear within 10 years

Passage D

According to a recent study, there are about 70,000 blind children in Indonesia. Among them, 60 percent were not born blind. Iyehezkiel Parudani is one of them, who lost his eyesight by accident at age six. He now teaches English to blind students at the Pajajaran Special SchooL Iyehezkiel Parudani says learning English can help blind people feel better about themselves. "By learning English, they can be an English teacher, a translator, and a tour guide. " Students read using Braille (盲文). To write, they use special tools, too.?
Iyehezkiel Parudani says blind people should not let their physical disability influence their dreams. In 2008 , he got a chance to study at the University of Texas. Two years later, he got a master's degree in course development there.
"In the US, if I go to the university to study, everything is available - like e-books, Braille books. Here in Indonesia, you know, it’s difficult to find a reference book in e-book or in Braille.? We have to make it ourselves. In the US, I can move wherever I want because everything designed is really accessible for people with blindness. "
?Eha Lestari, one of his star students, says learning English has changed her life. She has already traveled to the US with the help of an Indonesia-U. S.? program. "I study English because I love English very much. I want to be a translator because I want to go to the other countries and then I want to meet some people from around the world. "
?Like her classmates, Eha loves to sing. Here, music is part of daily life. Even the students who do not study English can sing some American pop songs, such as Stand By Me , "Stand by me. Please stand, stand by me. Stand by me.... "
?Iyehezkiel Parudani says the song has special meaning to the students. "In our life, we need other persons. You have to stand by me. Without you standing by me, I'm meaningless. "

Passage F
（2019年选练--科普环保类）
This March, the H7N9 virus (病毒) hit Shanghai, Anhui, Jiangsu, Zhejiang and so on. It seemed that most people who were infected(被感染) with H7N9 had the common flu. Some people suffered from a fever or a cough.
Don’t be afraid—it’s not easy to be infected with the virus. Here is some advice to help you protect yourself when it comes.
Wash your hands. You need to wash your hands with soap and hot water before you eat, after you use the toilet, and after you touch animals, because your hands may carry viruses.
Cover your nose and mouth. When someone sneezes(打喷嚏) or coughs, flu viruses can travel as far as one meter through the air, so you’d better stand a proper distance (距离) while talking to someone who has a cold. And always cover your mouth and nose with a piece of paper when you sneeze or cough, and then clean your hands.
Wear a mask(口罩). Some doctors say that masks can stop the flu as much as 80%, but if
you don’t wash your hands often, it’s no use wearing a mask. And it’s necessary to wear the mask in the groups of people.
Do sports often. Exercises will help make your body strong enough to resist the virus.

Passage G
Music plays an important role in our daily life. But for some people, music is not fun at all. They have the illness that scientists call “amusia(失歌症)”. People with amusia are born without the ability to enjoy music. They often cannot tell the differences between two songs. As a result, songs sound like noise to them.
Life can be hard for people with amusia. In fact, most people cannot understand what it feels like—just going to a restaurant or a shopping centre can be uncomfortable or even painful. That is why many people with amusia have to stay away from places where there is music. However, this can result in social loneliness.“I used to hate parties，” says Elizabeth, a 70?year?old woman who only recently discovered that she has amusia. By studying people like Elizabeth, scientists are finally learning how to identify(辨别) this unusual condition.
Scientists say that the brains of people with amusia are different from those that can enjoy music. The difference is complex(复杂的)，and it is not connected with poor hearing. People with amusia can understand other non?musical sounds well. They also have no problems understanding common speeches.
Many people with amusia are happy when their condition is finally diagnosed(诊断). For years, Elizabeth has felt embarrassed about her music problem. Now she knows that she is not alone. That makes it easier for her to explain. “When people invite me to a concert, I just say, ‘No, thanks. I have amusia，'” says Elizabeth.
1. People with amusia are those________．
A. who like music B. who have poor hearing
C. who don't like music D. who are born unable to enjoy music
2. Life is hard for people with amusia because ________.
A. music seems to be noisy for them
B. most people cannot understand them
C. they try to stay at places full of music
D. they hate parties, restaurants or shopping centres
3. Scientists identify people with amusia by________．
A. studying different kinds of music B. going to parties regularly
C. comparing music to colours D. studying people with amusia
4. ________ causes people with amusia different from most people according to scientists.
A. The brains B. The poor hearing
C. The lack of colours D. The problems with speeches
5. What is the main idea of the passage?
