人教版2020年备战中考初中英语专项训练阅读理解（科普环保类）（II ）卷姓名:_ 班级:_ 成绩:_一、 阅读理解 (共5题；共52分)1. （10分）阅读理解 Cars make our lives more convenient. But they can also be a problem. For example, fossil fuel(化石燃料) cars mainly cause air pollution.To improve the environment, many countries are developing electric vehicles (EVs,电动车). Among them, China is taking a leading role and has created the worlds largest EV market.Last year, over 40 percent of the 753,000 EVs sold in the world were sold in China, more than twice as many as the number sold in the United States.Filling up a fossil fuel car with gas(汽油) is more expensive than charging( 充电) an electric car， said Wu Hao，who bought an electric car this year.However, there are still some problems. It can be hard to find charging piles(充电桩) and the cars cant go far before needing to be recharged.Some of these problems are being solved. In 2014，China had 31,000 charging piles. Now China has the worlds largest EV charging network, with more than 167, 000 charging piles in total.Developing EVs is one of many efforts that China has made to cut down pressure on its environment after the government promised to stop increases in carbon dioxide emissions(二氧化碳排放量) by 2030.As China goes, so will the worlds car industry, The Wall Street Journal said. China has taken a leading role in the worlds electric vehicle industry.（1）_ mainly cause air pollution according to the passage. A . SubwaysB . Sharing bikesC . Electric vehiclesD .

England.（5）What is the passage mainly about? A . China has taken a leading role in the worlds electric vehicle industry.B . Electric cars will disappear in the future.C . There is no problem using electric cars.D . How to deal with air pollution.2. （12分）阅读理解 Scientists in Britain and the United States have made a new kind of enzyme(酵素) that eats plastics(塑料). With its help, plastics can be turned into smaller parts and go away quickly. Scientists believe that, in the future, it could solve the problem of plastic pollution.The enzyme is able to break down PET, a form of plastic. PET was first made in the 1940s and is now widely used to make plastic bottles. It can remain in the environment for many years and pollute large areas of land and water. So it has always been a headache to deal with the waste from PET and other plastics.The researchers made the discovery(发 现) while examining the structure of a natural enzyme in Japan. They found that the natural enzyme was helping to break down PET plastics. So, they decided to make small changes to the enzyme by adding some amino acids(氨基酸). It made the natural enzymes plastic-eating abilities work faster and better.John McGeehan, one of the lead researchers, said, Weve made an improved enzyme. Its better than the naturl one. And we are trying to make more improvements to it. He went on.The enzyme is not harmful to humans or animals, and it is friendly to the environment. So we are considering putting it into wider use.The team is now trying to make the enzyme break down PET in large quantities(大量的). Well see that the plastic pollution may be stopped with this technology. However, there is still a long way to go, John McGeehan added.（1）According to the scientists, the enzyme may solve the problem of pollution. A . airB . waterC . lightD . plastic（2）The underlined phrase break down in the passage probably means in Chinese. A . 实验B . 生产C . 发明D . 分解（3）Researchers discovered that a natural enzyme helped eat plastics . A . inB . in the USC . in JapanD . in China（4）Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage? A . The scientists are still trying to improve the enzyme.B . The enzyme will pollute large areas of land and water.C . The natural enzyme woks better than the improved one.D . The natural enzyme is harmful to humans and animals.3. （10分） Happiness is important for everyone. Most people want to be happy but few know how to find happiness. Money and success dont bring lasting happiness. Happiness depends on ourselves. In other words, we make our own happiness.Some people believe that if they are wealthy, they will be able to do anything they want, which means happiness. On the other hand, some people believe that holding a high position in the government is happiness. In this way, you have not only money, but also many other things which cant be bought by money. However, other people believe that having lots of money is not happiness, nor is holding a high position in the government. These people value(重视) their beliefs, or their intelligence, or their health. They think these can make them happy.Here are a few ways to help you be happier.The first secret of happiness is to enjoy the simple things in life. Too often, we spend so much time thinking about the future, for example, getting into college or getting a good job, that we dont enjoy the present. You should enjoy lifes simple pleasures, such as reading a good book, listening to your favorite music, or spending time with close friends. People who have close friends usually enjoy happier and healthier lives.The second secret of happiness is to be active. Many people go dancing or play sports. People can forget about their problems and only think about the activities.Finally, many people find happiness in helping others. According to studies, people feel good when they volunteer their time to do many meaningful things for other people. If you want to feel happier, do something nice for someone. You can help a friend with his or her studies, go shopping to get food for an old neighbor, or simply help around the house.Now maybe you know how to find happiness!（1）The underlined word “wealthy” means “_” in the article.A . pleasedB . healthyC . excitedD . rich（2）Some people who hold a high position in the government think they can _.A . get money and something they cant buy with moneyB . do what they want to do at any timeC . enjoy health which makes them work hardD . take an active part in all kinds of activities every day（3）The writer thinks the secret of happiness is that people _.A . think about getting a good jobB . think of presents they dont likeC . often spend time with close friendsD . often spend time on entering the college（4）Many people find it happy to _.A . remember the old days and troublesB . do some meaningful things for othersC . go shopping to buy some foodD . make much money and little success（5）The passage mainly tells us _.A . how to find happinessB . how to save happinessC . to do something good for othersD . to value our beliefs or health4. （10分）阅读理解MinutesGreen Building Committee (委员会) Meeting, Wing Lung SchoolDate and time: 4 p.m. March 5th, 2017Present: Mr. To (Principle), Ms. Man, Mr. Cheung, Ms. Sin (committee members)1）OpeningMr. To opened the meeting and welcomed Ms. Sin as a new committee member.2）The Green Building ProjectIn order to make Wing Lung School more environmentally friendly and to make students take notice of environmental problems, such as rising temperature of the Earth, it has been decided that work on The Green Building Project would begin in June.Solar panels (太阳能电池板)Plans to install solar panels on the rooftop of the main building have been decided.Roof gardenMs. Man pointed out that a roof garden could make the temperature in the main building become lower.

The tests were carried out at waste treatment centre. The scientists put plants in narrow containers inside a glass building. One end of each container was a little higher than the other end. Waste water was directed down the containers through the plants thick roots as we expected. The roots absorbed the waste in the water and used it for food. At the same time the plants produced natural gas. The gas could be collected and sold as fuel(燃料).Four places in Florida are already using green plants to clean their waste water.（1）The best title for this passage is . A . The success of American scientistsB . A new way to treat waste waterC . Waste water and green plantsD . Advanced technology in America（2）The technique to clean waste water is based on the fact that .
