初三中考英语考前模拟试卷带答案(2)
C
Which part of the world has the most nearsighted(近视的) students? Just look around you–----it’s East Asia. Nine in ten school leavers in major East Asian cities are nearsighted, according to the BBC. Experts say books and video games are not to blame. East Asian students, they say, aren’t getting enough sunlight.
People become nearsighted because their eyeballs grow out of shape and light entering their eyes cannot focus correctly. The body can produce a chemical called dopamine (多巴胺) to stop eyeballs from changing shape. And guess what scientists have just discovered? Sunlight can help our bodies produce more dopamine, reported AFP(法新社).
According to the study, primary school students in Singapore spend only 30 minutes outdoors every day; in Australia, by contrast, kids spend about three hours a day outside. As a result, fewer children in Australia are nearsighted–only 10 percent, compared with 90 percent in Singapore.
“Children in East Asia basically go to school... go home and stay inside. They study and they watch television,” Ian Morgan of the Australian National University told AFP.
But being a bookworm or a couch potato does not directly harm the eyes, added Morgan. “As long as they get outside, it doesn’t seem to matter how much study they do,” he explained. “There are some kids who study hard and get outside and play hard and they are generally fine. The ones who are at major risk are the ones who study hard and don’t get outside. As a result of massive (巨大的) educational pressures and the construction (构成) of a child’s day, the amount of time they spen d outside in bright light is minimized.”
Experts suggest children should stay outside for two to three hours every day. This can include time spent in the playground and walking to and from school.

A. Dopamine is a chemical that causes eyeballs to grow out of shape.
B. Dopamine can stop light e ntering the eyes from focusing correctly.
C. Spending time in the sun can make the loss of dopamine in the body.
D. The more dopamine a person has in their body, the better eyesight he or she has.

A. Those who like watching TV.
B. Those who take exercise regularly.
C. Those who study hard and play hard outdoors.
D. Those who stay indoors studying all day.

There is a place on our earth where hot water and steam come up under the ground. It is on a large island in the Pacific Ocean. The island is North Island in New Zealand.
The earth on which we live is a ball of very hot rock. It is a good thing for us that the outside shell is cold. If it were not, no one could live on the earth.
The earth’s shell has cracks(裂缝) in it in some places. In New Zealand this shell seems to have more cracks than in other places on the earth. There are places where the ground is so hot that it burns the bottom of your shoes. In some places, hot water shoots into the air from time to time. In other places, you can see steam coming up from pools of hot water. The people who live in these places make use of the heat that comes from inside the earth. Some of them cook in the hot pools. They put food into basketball and then put it into the water. Washing clothes is done in much the same way.
Many people bring the hot water from below the earth into their homes. They do this by putting a pipe a hundred feet or more into the ground. In this way they get hot water and steam for cooking and washing, and for heating their homes.
51.What does the word “steam” mean in Chinese?
A. 自来水 B. 大气 C. 冰川 D. 蒸汽
52. Why do we know that people can live on the ea rth according to the passage?
A. Because the earth’s shell has cracks in it.
B. Because the earth is hot inside but cold outside.
C. Because hot water and steam come up under the ground.
D. Because the heat from inside the earth helps people with everything.
53. Which of the following is not true?
A. Our earth is a ball of very hot rock.
B. Many people use baskets to get hot water.
C. People make good use of heat in New Zealand.
D. There are more cracks in New Zealand than in other places on the earth.
54. Which of the following is not mentioned?
A. Cooking B. Washing C Heating D. Surfing
55. The best title for the passage is_________.

Very often, new-born babies are not beautiful. They are wrinkled (多皱的) or hairless, or they have an angry look on their faces. They seem to say, “Get away! I hate everybody.” But to a parent, that hairless, wrinkled, angry-faced baby is the most beautiful and perfect child in the world. When th at proud father or mother asks you, “Well, isn’t she beautiful?” What are you going to say? Is this the time for the truth? Of course not!
You look that proud father in the eye and say, “Yes, she is! She is really a beauty. (83) She is one in a million. She’s a s beautiful as a picture! I can tell!”

When people don’t want to meet someone, or eat something new that they really don’t like at their friend’s house. They tell a white lie. They are trying to be kind. They don’t want to hurt someone.
