上海版2020年中考英語題型專練：閱讀理解（二）（II ）卷姓名:_ 班級(jí):_ 成績:_一、 閱讀理解 (共10題；共86分)1. （8分）閱讀理解 Man is a land animal, but he is also closely tied to the sea. Throughout history the sea has served the needs of man. The sea has provided man with food and a convenient way to travel to many parts of the world. Today, nearly twothirds of the worlds population live within 80 kilometers of the sea coast.In the modern technological world, the sea offers many resources to help mankind survive (=continue to live). Resources on land are beginning to be used up. The sea, however, still can be hoped to supply many of mans needs.The list of riches of the sea yet to be developed by mans technology is impressive. Oil and gas explorations have been carried out for nearly 30 years. Valuable amounts of minerals exist on the ocean floor ready to be mined (開采).Fish farming promises to be a good way to produce large quantities of food. The culture of fish and shellfish (貝類動(dòng)物) is an ancient skill practised in the past mainly by Oriental people.Besides oil and gas, the sea may offer new sources of energy. Experts believe that the warm temperature of the ocean can be used in a way similar to the steam in a steamship. Ocean currents (水流) and waves offer possible use as a source of energy.Technology is enabling man to explor ever more deeply under the sea. The development of strong, new materials has made this possible.The technology to harvest the sea continues to improve. Experts believe that by the year 2000 the problems that prevent us from exploiting fully the food, minerals, and energy sources of the sea will be largely solved.（1）The major things that the sea offers man are _.

In the first forty days a boy had been with him. But after forty days without a fish, the boys parents had told him that the old man was now salao, which is the worst form of unlucky, and the boy had gone with another boat which caught three good fish the first week. It made the boy sad to see the old man come in each day with his boat empty. The sail looked like the flag of failure forever. The old man was thin with deep wrinkles (皺紋) in the back of his neck.

The Mayan achievements were many. They had farms, beautiful palaces, and cities with many buildings. The Mayan people knew a lot about nature and the world around them. This knowledge helped them to live a better life than most people of that time, because they could use it to make their lives more comfortable and rewarding（值得的）. Knowledge about tools and farming, for example, made their work easier and more productive.The Maya believed in many gods, including rain gods, sun gods, and corn gods. The people built large temples to honor the Mayan gods. Skillful workers built cities around these temples. It was difficult for them to build these cities, because they had no horses to carry the heavy stone they used to build with. Workers had to carry all of the building materials themselves. Today, many of these ancient Mayan cities and temples are still standing.Although the cities that the Maya built were beautiful, and the people worked hard to build them, very few of the people lived in them. Usually, only the priests（牧師）lived in the cities.The other people lived in small villages in the forests. Their houses were much simpler than the elaborate buildings in the cities. They lived in small huts（小屋）with no windows. The walls were made of poles covered with dried mud, and the roof was made of grass or leaves. Most Maya lived a simple life close to nature.The Mayan priests studied the Sun, the Moon, stars, and planets. They made a calendar from what they learned. The year was divided into 18 months of 20 days each with five days left over. The Mayan calendar was far more exact than the European calendars of the time.Around the year 800, the Maya left their villages and beautiful cities, never to return. No one knows why this happened. They may have died from some disease. They may have left because the soil could no longer grow crops. Archaeologists（考古學(xué)家）are still trying to find the lost secrets of the Maya.（1）What does the underlined word “elaborate mean?A . easily builtB . carefully madeC . slowly fixedD . quickly designed（2）From the passage we can infer（推理）that.A . most Maya lived in beautiful citiesB . many Mayan cities and temples are still standingC . the Maya were intelligent and culturally rich peopleD . the Mayan calendar was the same as European calendars（3）Why it is said that the Mayan people lived a better life than most people of that time?A . They had better building skills and housing conditions.B . They believed in many gods, and honored the Mayan gods.C . They had knowledge about tools and faming.D . They studied about nature and the world around them.（4）What can be the best title for this article?A . Mayan GodsB . Mayan BuildingsC . Productive MayaD . Mysterious（神秘的）Maya6. （8分）（2017昌吉）閱讀理解Do you know 2022World Cup will be held in Qatar（卡塔爾）And FIFA（國際足聯(lián)） has made a big decisionThe 2022Qatar World Cup will be held in November and DecemberIt is the first time FIFA has moved the event from its traditional summer to winterAccording to the decision，the 2022World Cup will start on November 21The final will take place on December18，one week ahead of ChristmasThe tournament will last 28days，half a week shorter than usualFIFA said，This is an important step for usDecember18，2022is a Sunday，and its National Day in Qatar，so it fits perfectlyMany people disagree that Qatar has the chance to held the 2022World Cup，since summer temperatures is very highsometimes，the temperature may be about 50So the country has an idea to move it to winterAt last FIFA gave the chance to QatarAlthough the change is good for the players，there is still much opposition The biggest opposition comes from the major European leagues（歐洲聯(lián)賽），because the new time will be just Europes club seasonFIFA said they will try their best to make things go well（1）Traditional World Cup is usually held in A .

A pen.Though it is small, the pen has changed the history, improved the trade of countries, recorded events, carried news, and done far more work for human beings than all other tools.Progress without it would have been almost impossible. The invention of the wheels, the introduction of steam engine(蒸汽機(jī)), the use of electricity, all these have changed the lives of millions of people, but the pen has done more. It has taken away mountains, and it has prepared the way for all progress and development of the society.In the past the pen did all the work if you wanted to keep any writing for some time.
