(十六)（2022·贵州毕节·统考中考真题）
If you travel in New Zealand, you may find some very interesting things. It is called “New Zealand Four Strange Things”.

Have you ever seen that cows are lined up? New Zealand is so large. It is impossible for people to milk cows by hand. So the farmers trained the leading cow to take the cows to the milking station twice a day. The leading cow has a sensor（传感器）on its head. When it is time for milking, the sensor warns the leading cow to take the lead.

Horses are mainly raised for viewing（观赏）and racing, so the coat color is very important. Wearing sunscreen（防晒）clothes on horses can avoid the harm from the sun. The clothes on horses are filled with weights that are the same weight of the rider. When the weights are replaced by the rider during the race, “________” just like the sportsman running with sandbags.

Sheep in New Zealand used to have tails. Because they poop（排便）when they’re born, grass flies are interested in them. Grass flies lay their eggs in the tails of the baby sheep, causing illness and death. Then people tie their tails. As time passes, the sheep become tailless. This improves the survival rate（成活率）.

New Zealand’s alpacas（羊驼）were introduced from South America. They are quite different from two-humped camels（双峰驼）. An alpaca weighs about 55 kg to 65 kg. Its shape is like a sheep. Only one grown-up male（雄性）alpaca can be found in each group. It is the leading one. Alpacas are gentle, clever and human.
66． Why do the cows in New Zealand stand in line?
A．Because the cows want to eat grass. B．Because the cows are ready for milking.
C．Because the cows used to do so. D．Because the leading cow asks them to do so.
67．Which of the following can be put in “________”?
A．the horses will be used to running with weights B．the horses can run faster than before
C．the horses won’t be able to run D．the horses will not be used to running

Handwritten Chinese characters (汉字) can be beautiful. I still remember looking at Chinese and not understanding anything it said and yet feeling a strong attraction. In fact, some foreign students start learning Chinese because of the characters. After having studied Chinese for a while, I realized that handwriting in Chinese took a very long time to learn.

Living as we do in a digital era (数字时代) with smartphones and computers, most students sooner or later ask themselves this question: Is it really necessary to learn how to write by hand in Chinese? When using smartphones or computers, we can use phonetic input (语音输入) systems, which choose the characters we want for us as long as we can remember how they are pronounced. Since we enter different characters, we seldom need to be able to recognize the difference between individual (每个) characters in detail. The computer makes the right choices for us. Do we really need to write Chinese by hand at all?
I think most people agree that you should learn to write at least some Chinese characters as a Chinese learner. But unless you don’t care about written language at all, you should learn the basics of handwriting. ________ You don’t need to be a calligraphy master (书法大师), but you do need basic handwriting skills to do this. Simply looking at things as usual is a bad way of learning.
I think learning the most common 500 Chinese characters or so is a good idea for all students. If you actually want to write by hand, enlarge that to 1,000. Then learn to hand-write characters outside of the 1,000 most common on a need-to-know basis.
71．What does the writer think of Chinese characters?
A．They are more difficult than English words.
B．They attract some foreigners to learn Chinese.
C．They show the importance of Chinese.
D．They are easy to learn for many foreigners.
72．What is the main idea of Paragraph 2?
A．Chinese characters are very difficult for foreigners to learn.
B．People believe learning to write Chinese characters is important.
C．People doubt the necessity of learning to write Chinese characters.
D．Chinese characters may disappear with the development of society.
73．Choose the best sentence to fill in the blank “________” in Paragraph 3.
A．You have to care about written language at the same time.
B．Understanding Chinese characters will be very hard without it.
C．It is necessary for you to write at least some Chinese characters.
D．You’d better be able to write all the Chinese characters.
74．What would be the best title for the passage?
A．Learning to Write Chinese Characters B．More than a Digital Era
C．Keeping a Good Learning Habit D．Understanding Chinese Characters Better

One teacher praises a student by saying “You’re so smart!” Another teacher says, “You must have worked really hard at this!” Which student does better in school? Studies show that students who hear the words of the second teacher will do better. Those students are learning that their effort is important.
Psychologists（心理学家）looked at what students did after they were given different types of praise. Some students were told that they were good at a task. They didn’t try very hard the next time. Other students were told that they had worked hard at a task. They worked even harder the next time. The first group of students was learning that they had a set amount of skill. They didn’t think they could do any better. This is called a fixed mindset（思维模式）. The second group was learning that they could do better if they kept trying. This is called a growth mindset. People who have a growth mindset believe that the brain can grow; people can do better and learn new skills. If they work hard, they can be successful.
How can teachers and parents help students succeed? They can focus mainly on effort and not simply on ability. When students succeed, teachers and parents should praise the actual work rather than intelligence（智力）or talent. When students fail, they should be told how they can do better. Teachers, parents and students need to value effort, not intelligence.

Nowadays, experts call on high school students to read as many literary classics (文学名著) as possible. What do you think of it?
Linda: We don’t have enough life experiences, so we may have difficulty understanding the deeper classics. But this shouldn’t be a reason to give up reading classics. As Francis Bacon said, “Reading makes a full man; conference (谈话) a ready man; and writing an exact man.”
Curry: Classics are the treasures our ancestors left us. We should read them and pass them down. As the old Chinese saying goes, “One who is filled with knowledge always behaves well.” Classics can open up our minds and develop our interest in culture.
Frank: Without background and life experiences, students can’t understand what writers want to express in their classics. While reading, some students mainly pay attention to words and expressions rather than the hidden ideas. For this reason, reading classics might be a waste of time.
Mary: On the one hand, not all classics are suitable (合适的) for all students, as there are many difficult expressions and deep ideas. On the other hand, the special writing styles make it difficult for students to understand. So they won’t probably choose them.
78．Who agrees with the idea of reading literary classics?
A．Linda & Curry. B．Linda & Mary. C．Curry & Frank. D．Frank & Mary.
79．What does Curry think of literary classics?
A．They improve students’ reading skills. B．They develop students’ interest in culture.
C．They help students learn more words. D．They can change students’ personalities (个性).
80．Frank thinks classics are not worth reading because ________.
A．the writers live in different countries
B．students prefer to read about life experiences
C．students might pay more attention to words and expressions
D．students might not understand the writing styles
81．Both Linda and Curry explain their ideas by ________.
A．listing examples B．showing numbers
C．giving quotes (引语) D．making comparisons (对比)
82．What does the passage talk about?
A．Why literary classics become popular in high schools.
B．Whether high school students should read literary classics.
C．Why high school students should read literary classics.

While we often question our failures and agree them with luck or fate (命运), we proudly relate our success to hard work. For most people, we don’t have a choice, as hard work is the only thing in our control. Therefore, we should keep working hard and give it a shot rather than complaining luck or fate.
However, life is not always fair. It does not give equal opportunities to everyone. Most of the families in our country struggle hard for a living. Most of these people work hard, but only a few of them become successful. So hard work cannot be a determining (决定性的) factor for success, though it’s a necessary factor.
There is another way to look at luck or fate. Life throws opportunities at everyone, but not everyone catches them at the right time. People who grab these opportunities are the ones who succeed in fighting against difficulties. In fact, it is not because we have fewer opportunities but because we are unable to see these opportunities. Sometimes, we can see them by keeping an eye on them, but sometimes opportunities need to be created by hard work. Luck and fate cannot limit what a person can do; It can just facilitate (使……更容易) progress.
All in all, life is not fair. Not everyone has equal opportunities. But that should not stop us from working hard. We should keep fighting against the difficulties to achieve our dreams.
83．The underlined phrase “give it a shot” in the first paragraph most probably means ________.
A．have a try B．shoot at C．give up D．work hard
84．What would the author relate her success to?

A．Hard work is not the only choice for most people.
B．People fail to achieve their dreams because of bad luck.
C．Hard work can determine one’s success.
D．Not all people’s dreams would come true through hard work.
86．What would be the main idea of this passage?
A．Life is not always fair. B．Luck matters, but hard work is a necessity.
C．Keep an eye on opportunity. D．Work hard and fight against all odds.
87．Which suggestion is wrong when you worked hard in English learning for a period of time but failed in the last exam?
A．Ask your teacher or parents for help.
B．Think of what caused your failure and find better learning methods.
C．We should keep fighting against the difficulties to achieve our dream.

Screaming（尖叫）and crying is common among children but it’s often seen as a problem that should be stopped. What if that wasn’t true?
“Until above the age of 12, kids don’t necessarily have the ability to stop themselves from crying or screaming when they’re unhappy,” says Greg Oliver at Henry Ford Medical Center in Troy. “Frustration（沮丧）is a form of energy, so it does need to come out,” he says. “I would encourage them to scream.”“Screaming, after all, is a good form of getting frustration out as long as it doesn’t include cursing（咒骂）,” Oliver says.“Once they are over 12, they really should have the skills to control themselves a little bit.” says Oliver.“Anyone under 13, it’s somewhat understandable for them to be frustrated when they can’t deal with a problem,” he says.
“A common mistake is to try to avoid making a scene in public,” Oliver says. Remember that your long-term goal as a parent is your child’s emotional stability（情绪稳定）. “The parents have to keep in mind that they’re working on a long-term basis here. If they think about other people’s feelings in public, they’re going to lose the chance to teach their kid a lifelong skill that they’re going to need,” he says. “What other people might judge or think is not as important as how their kid turns out after 18 years.”
So what should parents do when their kids start screaming? Let their children realize that they can work through it.“The kids really need to realize, feeling bad is not terrible, I can work through this, rather than how I can get out of it right away,” Oliver says. That’s not to say that parents should stand by doing nothing, though. A parent might say, “I know this is hard for you.”
“The parents kind of guide them through the screaming rather than expect it to end,” Oliver says.“Don’t tell them it’s no big deal,” Oliver says.“If parents can successfully get through it, that’s really healthier than getting the kid to suddenly shut it down in five minutes,” he says.
88．What is Oliver’s advice for kids over 12?
A．Feel free to scream. B．Be ready to accept help.
C．Try not to show their frustration. D．Learn about self-control.
89．If parents try to end kids’ screaming quickly, it may ________.
A．cause long-term harm B．teach kids a lifelong skill
C．hurt other people’s feelings D．help kids get their frustration out
90．What should parents do when their kids scream?
A．Stand by doing nothing. B．Show them how to end quickly.
C．Guide them through the screaming. D．Tell them it’s nothing serious.
91．What is the best title for the text?
A．Why Do Kids Scream? B．Should We Stop Kids Screaming?
C．How Can People Be Good Parents? D．What Do Kids Do When They’re Frustrated?

For middle and primary school students, being able to cook has become a must. They will also need to learn how to plant vegetables, raise poultry(家禽) and maintain home appliances(修理家电) under new requirements for labor education.
The Ministry of Education (MOE) brought out a new standard for labor education in schools last year. Starting from the 2022 fall semester, students in primary and middle schools have to take courses on labor skills at least once a week.
Labor education helps students value hard work. It includes things like household chores(家务), on-campus labor and community volunteer services.
The new standards include three types of labor tasks. The first is for things like everyday chores, including cleaning, organizing, cooking, and using and maintaining home appliances. Next is productive labor, including agriculture, making traditional handicrafts, and applying new technologies such as 3D printing and laser cutting (激光切割). The third type is service work, which includes volunteer work.
Schools in China have traditionally placed more focus on studying, and many have seen household chores as a waste of children’s time. But according to the MOE, labor education must be built up to help students cultivate (培养) social values and develop an interest in labor.
Online, people have been busy discussing the new standards on social media.
Liu Fang, a mother of 6-year-old twins in Beijing, strongly supports labor education. For the past year, she has trained her daughters to do household chores and make simple dishes for the family.
“The main idea is to let them share responsibility as family members and become independent as early as they can,” said Liu. “Through doing housework, their hand-eye coordination (协调), time management and organization skills can be trained and it’s also good to help them relax.”
Through such education, Liu said her twins have found fun in doing chores and are more independent.
92．What do we know about the new labor education standard?
A．It is for students from primary school to college.
B．Students can get extra credits for taking labor courses.
C．It started in the fall semester of 2022.
D．Students have to take three labor courses every week.
93．What can students learn through labor education?
a. How to plant vegetables.     b. How to raise chickens or ducks.   
c. How to be more focused in class. d. How to fix computers or fridges.
A．abc B．abd C．bcd D．acd
94．What is Paragraph 4 mainly about?
A．Why students should receive labor education.
B．What labor education was like in China in the past.
C．The types of labor education included in the new standard.
D．How students find a balance between their study and labor tasks.
95．What does Liu Fang think of labor education?
A．It’s too simple for students. B．It isn’t fun enough for students.
C．It takes up too much of students’ free time. D．It helps students develop different skills.
96．What is the passage mainly about?
A．New courses for primary school students.
B．Labor education for primary and middle school students.
C．Ways to cultivate students’ social values.
D．New technologies used in primary and middle schools.

Video cameras are everywhere, such as schools, theaters and stores. But in recent years, they have entered our homes. Many parents set up cameras at home to watch their children’s online classes and homework. Are cameras really helpful? What do students think about it?
Earlier last year, I liked to lie in bed and watch videos instead of studying. This influenced my study and made my grades worse. So my parents set up a camera to keep an eye on me. It worked. With the camera watching, I had to do my homework first and make plans for studying at home. When I was alone at home, the camera made me feel safe because I knew that my parents were watching on the other side. My grades improved after a year.
——Daming
When I was in Grade 8, my parent set up a camera in my room. I really didn’t like it because I felt like there were always eyes watching me. I felt so uncomfortable that I couldn’t sleep well at night. Knowing there was a camera around when my friends came to my home, they spoke quietly and carefully. We couldn’t play freely. I was sad. So I asked my parents to take the camera away. They agreed it as long as I promised to behave well. I feel happy and free now.

As part of the “Facebook generation”, we have grown up in an Internet world and we can connect with people with a touch on the smartphone. Nowadays, it is common to offer guests the Wi-Fi password along with a cup of tea when they come round to visit. We have become addicted (上瘾的) to our smartphones.
Of course, smartphones are really useful and have changed our lives in many ways. Thanks to thousands of APPs, we can now do almost anything when we’re out and about. However, it seems that these addictive pieces of technology are slowly beginning to take over our lives. It’s so easy to become dependent (依赖的) on the phones, whether it’s to find your way around with the map APP or even just check the time. As a result, we’re becoming more anti-social (反社交的), choosing to search the Internet rather than talk face-to-face with other human beings.
Even when we’re socialising, it seems most of us feel uneasy without our phones at arm’s reach. Phones were invented to keep us more connected, and indeed they have done just that. We can now get in contact, yet this means were starting to lack (缺少) sincere contact with each other. People are connecting more and more across screens rather than in person.
I’m not here to say I’m any better. However, I’m trying to use it less and less when I’m out and about. Next time you’re out with your friends, put your phone away and see how long you can last without it.

Do you compare yourself to other people? Perhaps your best friend receives something you really want, or you’re not allowed to go to a concert but your brother or sister is. Even though comparisons are common and can sometimes be helpful, focusing(专注) on your own progress is important for your happiness.
“We often compare ourselves to others who are doing better or not as well as ourselves.” says Dr. Jack. “But I suggest comparing yourself to your past self and your future self. This can make you feel proud of what you’ve achieved and excited about what you might do. Focusing on your own purposes is more worthwhile than always trying to come out on top.”
Comparing yourself to those around you is natural and we often do it without realizing it. It can help us to be clear about our achievements and to form friendships with new people who have similar interests. However, it’s important to remember that nobody is perfect in real life. It’s also important to take note of how the comparison is making you feel. “If you begin to feel quite low, focus on your own strengths.” says Jack. In other words, you can ask yourself questions like “What can I do well in?”, which can help you trust yourself.
Maybe here you are wondering “What if all my friends are better than me?”. Dr. White says that jealousy(妒忌) is not bad but focusing on bettering your own work can help you feel just as successful. He also mentions that learning to celebrate your friends’ success can not only help to cheer your friends up but also help you feel good. It will encourage you to build each other up.
106．What does the writer tell us in Paragraph 1?
A．We should compare with others. B．We should share things with brothers.
C．We should enjoy concerts with sisters. D．We should focus on our own progress.
107．Why should you compare yourself to your past self?
A．To care about others. B．To change your purposes.
C．To increase your excitement. D．To be proud of your achievements.
108．What does the underlined phrase “your own strengths” probably mean in Paragraph 3?
A．what you’re good at B．what you’ve understood
C．what you’re crazy about D．what you’ve experienced
109．What does Dr. White suggest?
A．Trusting your friends. B．Cheering on tiny success.
C．Celebrating others’ success. D．Forming a deep friendship.
110．What would be the best title for the passage?
A．Plan Your Own Future B．Enjoy Your Own Happiness
C．Run Your Own Race D．Follow Your Own Dream
