中考英語：閱讀理解優(yōu)編題（5）含答案Passage A（2019中考科普環(huán)保類選練）Pollution    Hundreds of years ago, life was much harder than it is today. People didnt have modern machines. There was no modern medicine, either.     Life today has brought new problems. One of the biggest is pollution （污染）. Water pollution has made our rivers and lakes dirty. It kills our fish and polluted our drinking water. Noise pollution makes us talk louder and become angry more easily. Air pollution is the most serious kind of pollution. Its bad to all living things in the world.     Cars, planes and factories all pollute our air every day. Sometimes the polluted air is so thick that it is like a quilt over a city. This kind of quilt is called smog（煙霧）.     Many countries are making rules to fight pollution. Factories must now clean their water before it is thrown away, they mustnt blow dirty smoke into the air.     We need to do many other things. We can put waste things in the dustbin and not throw it on the ground. We can go to work by bus or with our friends in the same car. If there are fewer people driving, there will be less pollution.     Rules are not enough. Every person must help to fight pollution.   1.

It can be over 5.5 metres tall. Its neck alone may be 1.9metres long. Yet the giraffe has only seven bones in its neck, the same number as in the human. Even a small bird has many more bones in its neck than in a tall giraffe. Each bone in a giraffe's neck is very long, while the bones in a human neck are small. That makes the difference. A female giraffe gives birth to one baby at a time. The baby, called a calf, is about 1.9 metres tall at birth. By the age of eight it is full-grown. The giraffe eats mostly leaves. Because it has a long neck, it can reach the leaves high up on the trees.(1)In this passage the underlined word “giraffe” means _.A.鯨魚 B.長頸鹿 C.大象 D.恐龍(2)The bones in a bird's neck is _.A. as big as in a human's neck B. not so big as in a giraffe's neckC. many more than in a human's neck D. much smaller in a giraffe's neck(3)Which of the following is true?A.

Millions of years ago, horses had many toes. They had four toes on each front foot. They had three toes on each back foot.

And you need to understand a few basic rules about the wind. First, you must ask yourself, “Where is the wind coming from? Is it coming from ahead or behind or from the side?” You must think about this all the time on the boat. The wind direction tells you what to do with the sail.Lets start with the wind blowing from the behind. This means the wind and the boat are going in the same direction. Then you must always keep the sail outside the boat. It should be at a 90° angle to the boat. Then it will catch the wind best.If the wind is blowing from the side, it is blowing across the boat. In this case, you must keep the sail half way outside the boat. It should be at a 45° angle to the boat. It needs to be out far enough to catch the wind, but it shouldnt flap. If it is flapping, it is probably out too far, and the boat will slow down.Sailing into the wind is not possible. If you try, the sail will flap and the boat will stop. You may want to go in that direction. It is possible, but you cant go in a straight line. You must go first in one direction and then in another. This is called tacking. When you are tacking, you must always keep the sail inside the boat.Come and join us!46. What should you consider first while sailing?A. Sailors strength.B. Wave levels.C. Wind directions.D.
