“Who broke this window?”

Miss Green went to the bookcase and took down a book.

“I know how you like birds,Peter,” She said.“Here is a book about birds and the book is yours now.I will not punish you this time.But Peter,you should remember that I am rewarding(奖赏)you for your honesty(诚实),not for breaking the window.”

Look!People are gathering to get water from a huge well in the village of Natwarghad in the western Indian state of Gujarat!(1)Because of the large population on the earth,the world is hungry thirsty

now.The world’s population has reached 7 billion.And it could possibly grow to 15 billion by the year 2100.

(2)On the other hand,about 97% of water on the earth is sea water which we can’t drink or use for watering plants directly.Man can only drink or use the other 3% of fresh water which comes from rivers,lakes and underground.And we can’t even use all of that,because some of them has been polluted.

Now more water is needed.The problem is:Can we avoid a serious water shortage later on?Firstly,we should all learn how to save water.Secondly,we should find out the ways to reuse it.Today,in most large cities water is used only once,but it can be used again.Even if every large city reuse its water,still there would not be enough.What could people turn to next?

The sea seems to have the best answer.The sea is very big.Look at the map of the world,there is more sea than land.It covers three quarters of the earth.All that needs to be done is to get the salt out of the sea water.Scientists are trying to find a cheaper way of doing it.So you see,(4)如果我们可以找出解决方法,我们就不会有干涸(dry up)的危险。

中考英语英语阅读理解精选附答案

中考英语英语阅读理解精选附答案 一、英语阅读理解专项练习试卷 1.阅读理解 Earlier this year, China achieved a new milestone (里程碑) in space research. On January 3, 2019, Chang'e-4 became the first lunar probe (月球探测器) in history to successfully land on the far side of the moon. The Earth's gravity (重力) slows the moon's rotation (自转), matching it to the speed of its orbit (公转). Therefore, the far side of the moon is almost "dark" and has never been seen. It's this sense of the unknown that makes the far side of the moon such an interesting place for scientific and space research. Being blown by solar (太阳的) winds, the far side may have the special minerals (矿物质). For this reason, Chang'e-4 will study the effect of solar winds on the lunar surface and any mineral found by the spacecraft. Chang'e-4 is also carrying flower seeds, potatoes and silkworm eggs to see whether life is possible on the moon. If it is, then the moon will become a possible choice for space travel in the future. However, research of the "dark" side isn't easy. As the far side is blocked(阻断) off from us, radio noise coming off Earth is also blocked. This is why China's relay satellite (中继卫星) Queqiao was sent up in May, 2018. Thanks to Queqiao, the communication problem between Earth and Chang'e-4 has been well solved. Power supply (电源供应) is also a challenge to the task. Chang'e-4 gets energy from the sun through its solar panels. As we know, a lunar day has the length (长度) of 28 Earth days. After Chang'e-4 was sent up on December 8, 2018, it took the probe over 20 days to orbit the moon to be in a position to be able to land in moon daylight and use its solar panels. Luckily, everything goes well, Chang'e-4 has worked on the "dark" side for over 5 months. It has sent back many photos of the far side of the moon and has been used to carry out some scientific experiments. The New York Times used the word "groundbreaking" to praise the task and wrote that "it will offer help to the history and development of the moon". (1)When was Chang'e-4 sent up? A. In May, 2018. B. On December 8, 2018. C. On January 3, 2019.
