（2022·浙江嘉兴·中考真题）Smartphones are getting boring. The new models are either a bit faster or have better cameras, but they are basically no different from the ones already in our pockets. This is why scientists are hoping, and working for something new, something that will change our lives just as greatly as smartphones do. At the moment, the next invention might be smart glasses.
     
Just imagine. Instead of having to pick up your phone and look at the screen, all of the information you need simply appears just in front of you, in your glasses. Satellite navigation (导航) directions would appear right there on the road. And your smart glasses could guide you to the right shelf in the supermarket!
Smart glasses could also be used in industry. They could show engineers the instructions they need to fix things more quickly. A doctor could carry out a difficult operation, guided in real time by someone on the other side of the world.
This may sounds impossible. But most of the technologies to invent them are already there. For example, one key technology is called AR, which can make digital 3D objects appear as if they are part of the real world. We’ve used it a lot on our video calls. Similarly, huge progress has been made in spatial audio. This is when a sound is made to give it a sense of place, like what you hear in an empty room. Some high-end earphones can already do that. Future glasses will of course need to recognize (识别) your voice to do tasks. This technology has been widely used in our daily life.
So, why aren’t we all wearing smart glasses yet? So far, no one has invented a good way to send images (映像) of our world onto glasses. However, with the rapid development of technology, smart glasses could arrive much sooner than we think.
1．Why does the writer mention smartphones in Paragraph 1?
A．To start a story. B．To explain an idea.
C．To introduce a topic. D．To discuss a problem.
2．What are Paragraphs 2 and 3 mainly about?
A．When smart glasses might be made.
B．Where smart glasses could be used.
C．How smart glasses would give directions.
D．Why smart glasses should be changed.
3．Which of the following technologies needs to be improved to invent smart glasses?
A．Making spatial audio. B．Recognizing voices.
C．Creating digital 3D objects. D．Sending images onto glasses.
4．How might the writer feel about the future of smart glasses?
A．Bored. B．Confident. C．Satisfied. D．Uncertain.
【答案】1．C2．B3．D4．B
【导语】

（2022·浙江嘉兴·中考真题）When Leon Martin asked for his parents’ advice on how to become a UX designer (设计师), they both went silent. “In fact, I had no idea what he was talking about,” said Anne, his mother. “I don’t know whether he was talking about designing clothes, computer programs or a fancy brand of bike.”
Even when her 18-year-old son explained that it was something about “behind the scenes” online design, his mother was still a bit lost. “I felt like I had totally failed as a parent,” she said. “My job as a parent is to open doors so my children can achieve their potential (潜力), but now can I do that when I don’t even understand what their dreams are?”
_________ Research has found that more than 2/3 of parents in England are now facing the problem that, when their children express interest in new education and job choices, they may know nothing about them. More than 75% of parents feel it is almost impossible to offer their children good advice in such a fast-changing job market.
Michelle Rea did a survey of over 2,000 parents of secondary school students in England. She found that many parents were afraid their children hardly follow them. “We all know that parents’ opinions and suggestions play an important role in shaping and influencing their children’s career dreams,” she said. “But we usually depend much on our own experiences. And things have changed so much since most of us were at school.”
Bryony Mathew, writer of the Awesome Career Books, said the world was changing so rapidly that parents should not try to decide on certain careers for their children.
5．What should a successful parent be able to do according to Anne?
A．Become a great UX designer. B．Do an excellent job online.
C．Develop their children’s potential. D．Realize their children’s dreams.
6．Which of the following is the best sentence to fill in the blank in Paragraph 3?
A．Anne is not alone. B．Anne has bad luck.
C．This is very strange. D．This is very interesting.
7．What did Michelle Rea’s survey mainly show?
A．Most of the parents in England were facing trouble in accepting new jobs.
B．Parents feared that their children would refuse to share their career dreams.
C．A lot of parents found it difficult to help their children with their education.
D．Children’s career future depend a lot on their parents’ working experiences.
8．What could be the best title for the passage?
A．How can children make career choices?
B．How can parents become career advisers?
C．Should children take their parents’ career advice?
D．Should parents choose a career for their children?
【答案】5．C6．A7．B8．D
【导语】
本文是一篇说明文。文章以Leon进行职业选择时向父母寻求建议这一事件为例，对“父母是否应该为孩子们指定职业”这一话题进行了探讨。
5．细节理解题。根据第二段“My job as a parent is to open doors so my children can achieve their potential, but now can I do that when I don’t even understand what their dreams are?”可知Anne之前认为作为父母，她的工作就是打开大门，让孩子们发挥他们的潜能，由此可知，她认为一个成功的父母，就是要能让孩子们发挥他们的潜能。故选C。
6．推理判断题。根据第三段“Research has found that more than 2/3 of parents in England are now facing the problem that, when their children express interest in new education and job choices, they may know nothing about them.”可知研究发现英国超过三分之二的父母现在正面临这样的问题：当他们的孩子们对新的教育和工作选择表示感兴趣时，他们可能对此一无所知，由此可知，Anne并不是唯一一个遇到这种问题的人。故选A。
7．细节理解题。根据第四段“She found that many parents were afraid their children hardly follow them. ‘We all know that parents’ opinions and suggestions play an important role in shaping and influencing their children’s career dreams,’ she said.”可知Michelle Rea认为，父母的意见和建议在塑造和影响孩子们的职业梦想方面发挥着重要的作用，但她发现很多父母担心他们的孩子不听他们的意见，换句话说，家长们担心孩子们拒绝跟他们分享他们的职业梦想。故选B。
8．最佳标题题。根据最后一段“Bryony Mathew, writer of the Awesome Career Books, said the world was changing so rapidly that parents should not try to decide on certain careers for their children.”可知这本《令人敬畏的职业书籍》的作者认为父母不应该试图为他们的孩子指定职业。纵观全文可知作者围绕“父母是否应该为孩子们选定职业”这个话题展开讨论。故选D。

（2022·浙江宁波·中考真题）Recently, many people think it’s risky to use credit (信用) card numbers online. However, from time to time, we all use passwords and ID numbers on the Internet. We think we are safe, but that may not be true! A new kind of attack (攻击) is being used by dishonest people to steal IDs and credit card numbers from web surfers. This new kind of attack is called “phishing”.
Phishing sounds the same as the word “fishing”, and it means that a thief is trying to trick people into giving away valuable information. Like real fishermen, phishers use bait (诱饵) in the form of great online deals or services. For example, phishers might use false emails and websites to trick people into revealing (透露) credit card numbers, account usernames, and passwords. They imitate (模仿) well-known banks, online sellers, and credit card companies. Successful phishers may make as many as 5% of the people believe and give away their personal information.
It’s really a big problem! Actually, tricking 5% of the online population is huge. Now more than 4.6 billion people have access (进入权) to the Internet, and 75% of those Internet users live in the wealthiest countries on Earth. It has been reported that phishers send more than 40 billion false messages each year. Even by tricking only 5% of the people, phishers can make a lot of money.
Amy, 18, from California, received an email. A man told Amy that she could get a million dollars in her account as a reward if she sent a thousand dollars to him. Amy did as the man said at once. The “thief” used Amy’s Social Security number to get credit cards in her name and transferred her money.
How can people avoid being cheated online? Above all, they have to learn to recognize the email that has been sent by a phisher. Always be careful with any email with urgent (紧急的) requests for personal information. Phishers typically write upsetting or exciting, but false, statements in their emails so that people will reply right away. Never give out personal information to phishers. And if an offer sounds too good to be true, it is.
17．Phishing is compared to ________ according to the passage.
A．making money B．playing games C．catching fish D．writing emails
18．Which writing skill is used in Para. 3?
A．Giving examples. B．Listing numbers. C．Raising questions. D．Using sayings.
19．Which of the following in the dictionary best explains the underlined word “transfer” in Para. 4?
transfer v. (transferred, transferring)
①to move from one place, school, job etc to another
②to connect the call of someone to someone else’s
③to move money from one account to another
④to change from one bus, plane etc to another
A．① B．② C．③ D．④
20．Besides introducing what phishing is, the writer also tells us how to ________.
A．help to catch phishers B．reply to urgent emails
C．pay by credit card D．protect ourselves online
【答案】17．C
18．B

（2022·浙江绍兴·中考真题）“I wish I had straight hair”; “I’d like to be taller”. At times, we all want to look a bit more like someone else. However, the pictures we see on TV and social media can give us improper ideas about how our bodies “should” look. The truth is that everybody is different — and that’s a good thing. Accepting and feeling good about our bodies is really important for our self confidence (自信).
Body confidence is when someone accepts and behaves kindly towards their body. That includes our size and shape, skin color, appearance and any physical disabilities. Jade Parnell from the Centre for Appearance Research (CAR), says that having body confidence is “about being accepting of your body and what it does for you”.
If you feel positively (积极地) about your body, you are more likely to take care of it. Research has even shown that you are more likely to take part in activities and perform well in school. However, feeling agitated about your body could make you step back, do less well at school and even feel down. Parnell says that the cost of trying to achieve the “perfect” appearance is high. She says, “If you re spending a lot of time trying to look a certain way, you will have less time to spend with friends and to make important memories.”
It’s important to remember that everybody is different. To develop a positive body image, Parnell says, “Try to talk positively about your own body and other people’s bodies. Try not to pay too much attention to appearance. Instead, think about what your body does for you; do your legs make you run really fast?” She also suggests treating your body well by eating different kinds of foods, exercising to feel good and to have fun, and getting plenty of sleep. Remember that you are more than how you look.
25．The writer thinks that the pictures on TV and social media ________.
A．are perfect for people to follow B．may spread wrong ideas of looks
C．imply everyone is different D．show people how to behave kindly
26．The underlined word “agitated” probably means “________”.
A．scared B．serious C．careless D．worried
27．Parnell will agree that you should ________.
A．accept your body as it is B．avoid talking about others’ bodies
C．spend more money on your appearance D．remember what you used to be like
28．What is the main purpose of the passage?
A．To encourage readers to take more exercise. B．To remind readers not to eat too much food.
C．To lead readers to build up body confidence. D．To advise readers to treat their friends well.
【答案】25．B

（2021·浙江绍兴·中考真题）
It’s been 100 years since the actor and filmmaker Charlie Chaplin produced the film The Kid, which many consider to be his greatest one.
Like all films at the time, The Kid was made in black and white and was silent (made without any sound, not even the characters talking). The story is about the relationship between “the Tramp”, played by Chaplin, and his adopted (领养的) child, played by Jackie Coogan. The pair develop a partnership where the six-year-old boy breaks windows and runs away, so that Chaplin’s character can offer his services as a window fixer.
Although the film is a comedy, it also has some tragedy, reflecting Chaplin’s own life. He started testing actors for the role of the Kid just a few days after his baby son had died. Chaplin was known for being hard to please, and it is said that if he could, he would have played every role in every one of his films. When Chaplin visited a theatre, a dancer brought his son, Jackie Coogan, on stage, and Chaplin knew he had his co-star (联袂主演者). Chaplin later wrote, “All children in some form have talents; the trick is to bring it out in them. With Jackie it was easy.”
Like the Kid in the film, Chaplin and his brother Sydney grew up very poor. They lived in London and were raised by their mother. When Chaplin was 10 years old, his mum became too ill to look after her sons, so they had to take care of themselves. He later wrote that the film sets in The Kid were based (基于) on the places where he and Sydney had lived with their mother as children. “Perhaps that’s why the film had some truth,” he said.
29．The second paragraph mainly talks about ________.
A．why The Kid was made B．when The Kid was on
C．how The Kid got successful D．what The Kid is about
30．We can infer from Paragraph 3 that Jackie Coogan ________.
A．always visited the theatre alone B．was possibly talented in acting
C．knew much about Chaplin before D．played every role in Chaplin’s films
31．Which of the following is TRUE about Chaplin?
A．He had a poor childhood experience. B．He was brought up by his father.
C．He looked after his mother very well. D．He produced films with his brother.
32．What’s the best title for the passage?
A．A film about a dancer B．A family in London
C．A place for film-making D．A life on film
【答案】29．D
30．B
31．A
32．D
【分析】
文章讲了卓别林的电影《孩子》寻找角色的过程，并提到他在电影中融入了自己的生活。

（2021·浙江宁波·中考真题）Jason and his father were going to the grocery store by car to pick up some apples. It had been an unusual day. The sky was dark but there were few clouds. As they drove up the street, there started to be a rumbling （隆隆的） sound heard across the ground.
Jason’s father immediately realized that a tornado （龙卷风） was coming. He stopped the car and told Jason to get out immediately. Jason and his father got out of the car and made their way to the closest building. By this time the wind was blowing harder, and it was hard to see or hear. Debris was falling all over the place. Jason couldn’t see his dad anymore. He also realized that he wasn’t getting to the building fast enough. He was afraid he would be picked up by the wind and thrown into the air.
As he made his way towards the building, he noticed a field to his right. He could see an irrigation ditch（灌溉渠）. In a panic, he scrambled （爬） to the ditch and lay flat on the ground. More debris and objects flew overhead. His heart was beating hard, and he was nervous. He had never been in a tornado before.

He stood up and with shaky legs walked to the building. Once there, he pushed the door open and went inside. It was a public building owned by the city. It was empty, but Jason could hear noises further inside. He walked into the large room and saw his dad. He ran across the room and gave him a big hug.

So Dad jumped into the water, swam to the turtle and brought it back to the boat. “There you go, little turtle; now you can swim to your family, “Dad said as he cut the plastic off. Then Derek and I put it back in the water. “I know! We should make a sign about not throwing rubbish into the sea, and put it in the sand on the beach,” I said. “I’ll help, too,” said Derek. “Great idea, boys.

（2020·浙江杭州·中考真题）A lot of animals travel from one place to another. We call this migration.
In Africa, large animals, like elephants and zebras, migrate to find food and water. They usually follow the same ways every year.
A lot of birds migrate to find food and better weather, too. They are usually birds that eat insects. They spend the summer in northern Europe, because there are lots of insects there. In the winter there aren't any insects, so the birds fly south to southern Europe and Africa.
Some insects migrate, too. In North America, millions of monarch butterflies fly south to spend the winter in Mexico, California and Florida, where it's warmer. They travel 50-65 km each day and they travel about 1,125 km.
Some fish migrate to breed   (繁殖). Salmon (鲑鱼) can swim over 20,000 km in their life. They are born in rivers in Ireland, Scotland and other places in northern Europe. The young fish swim down the river to the sea and into the Atlantic Ocean. They live in the ocean until they are adults. Then they return to the river where they were born. They lay their eggs in the river and then they usually die. Salmon do this, because their eggs are safer in the river. Other fish can't eat them.
Arctic terns (北极燕鸥) travel the furthest when they migrate. They spend the summer in the Arctic, but when winter comes they fly to the Antarctic, because it's summer there. The next year they fly back to the Arctic again. In one year these small birds travel 36, 000km from one end of the earth to the other and back again. Nobody knows how they do it.

（2020·浙江绍兴·中考真题）
With schools closed and restrictions(限制）on public activities, it can be a difficult time for young people, who suddenly can't spend time with their friends and family in person.
However, the situation has already led to some creative ways of using technology to keep in touch with those people, from video calls and group chats （聊天）to online games. Experts say that young people might find the social restrictions on seeing their friends in real life stressful, which is why technology can be helpful.
"Keeping relationships is very important for health," says Dr Amanda Gummer, creator of Dr Gummer's Good Play Guide. She adds that this is more important the older you get. "Not maintaining these friendships can make it more difficult for you to get back into school when the time comes," she says. Chezy Kennedy, from a training program called Confident Kids, agrees. "Staying connected to those we care about is even more important now than ever before," she says. "We can suddenly feel quite lonely. "
Messaging apps and video calls are good for checking in with friends, or organizing group chats to keep in touch. "Video chats are a great way to keep connected with your wider friendship group," says Gummer.
Experts agree that there are plenty of ways to be creative with video chats besides talking to friends. Gummer suggests, “A virtual（虚拟的）film-and-pizza night can work well.”
Sharna Jackson, an expert on young people and technology, has lots of ideas too. She suggests taking turns to teach friends something you're really good at- such as painting and drawing, perhaps. She also thinks that online games, including Fortnite and Minecraft, can play a really good role.
"It's good to play together. It's social, there's problem-solving and turn-taking, and it helps you develop different skills," she says.
44．According to the passage, young people will when they can't stay with friends.
A．be afraid of growing up B．fail to pass the exams
C．experience a hard time D．refuse to go to school

（2019·浙江绍兴·中考真题）阅读材料，然后从各题所给的四个选项中选出一个最佳答案。   

To help Japanese companies better deal with the increasing number of foreigners visiting the country, Panasonic has created a megaphone (扩音器) which is able to smartly translate Japanese into English, Chinese and Korean.
Panasonic named the product "Megahonyaku". It is a term for the Japanese words for "megaphone" and "translate", which actually makes g lot of sense because it's a megaphone that can translate Japanese into several other languages in real time. When a user speaks Japanese into the megaphone, it recognizes (辨认) and translates what is being said immediately, and outputs the words in English, Chinese or Korean.
It sounds amazing, and seeing it in action is wonderful, but Megahonyaku is not good enough. It cannot translate everything you say, as it only stores 300 common expressions, like "The train has been put off" or "Watch your step". However, the Japanese company behind Megahonyaku promises to add new expressions regularly, which users can get on the Internet.
The machine was designed to be used in places like transport stations, airports and places of interest where quick and exact announcements are needed most. Around 30 Japanese organizations, including the police and guides, have been trying out Megahonyaku for about one year, but Panasonic says it will come onto the market on December 20th. Instead of selling these speech translators, Panasonic plans on renting (出租) them out for less than $183 a month on a three-year agreement, and offering users future improvements and necessary services.
Panasonic has also said that it may add support for other languages, like Russian, depending on customers' needs. Megahonyaku also includes a touch screen that allows users to choose the language they need their speech translated into.
48．Panasonic has produced Megahonyaku so that ________.
A．guides can translate Chinese into Japanese faster
B．Japanese companies can receive foreigners better
C．foreigners can talk with the Japanese freely
D．the Japanese can learn other languages easily
49．The third paragraph is mainly about the ________ of Megahonyaku.
A．invention B．importance      C．disadvantage    D．history
50．It can be learnt from Paragraph 4 that Megahonyaku ________.
A．may be popular with the police
B．is widely used in private homes
C．will be sold on December 20th
D．stores about 30 foreign languages
51．According to the passage, Panasonic will ________ in the future.
A．sell Megahonyaku to foreign visitors
B．bring down the price of Megahonyaku
C．change the screen of Megahonyaku
D．improve Megahonyaku regularly
【答案】48．B
49．C
50．A
51．D
【分析】

49．推理判断题。根据 but Megahonyaku is not good enough. It cannot translate everything you say, as it only stores 300 common expressions, like "The train has been put off" or "Watch your step".但 Megahonyaku还不够好。它不能翻译你所说的每一句话，因为它只存储了300个常用的表达，比如“火车已经被推迟了”或“小心你的脚步”。可知主要说明 Megahonyaku的不足之处。A. invention发明；B. importance 重要性；C. disadvantage劣势，短处；D. history历史。故选C。

（2022·浙江·温州市教育教学研究院二模）
Researchers have developed an artificial intelligence* (AI) system — Ithaca, to help fill in missing words in ancient writings. The system is designed to help historians repair the writings and find out when and where they were written.
Many ancient people used writings, also known as inscriptions*, to record different parts of their lives. The inscriptions have been found on materials such as rock, china and metal. The writings often contained valuable information about how ancient people lived and how they structured their societies. But in many cases, the inscribed objects have been damaged over the centuries. In addition, many of the inscribed objects were moved from areas where they were created. This makes it difficult for scientists to discover when and where the writings were made.
The new AI-based tool helps researchers repair missing inscriptions and estimate the true origins of the records. The researchers, led by Alphabet’s AI company DeepMind, call their tool Ithaca. Ithaca was able to correctly predict* missing inscription elements 62 % of the time. In addition, the tool was 71 % correct in telling where the inscriptions first came from. And the system was able to effectively date writings to within 30 years.
When historians work on their own, the success rate for restoring damaged inscriptions is about 25%. But when humans teamed up with Ithaca to help their work, the success rate jumped to 72%.
Thea Sommerschield, a lead researcher, said she hoped systems like Ithaca “can unlock the cooperative* chance” between AI and humans. In one case, Ithaca proved new evidence presented by historians about the dating of a series of important Greek laws. The laws were first thought to have been written before 446/445 BCE*, but the new in the 420s BCE. Ithaca predicted a date of 421 BCE. Sommerschield said that the date change may seem small. But it has “meaningful influence for our understanding of the political history of Classical Athens,” she added.
The team is currently working on other versions of Ithaca trained on other ancient languages. DeepMind has showed a free, interactive tool based on the system for use by researchers, educators, museum workers and the public.
56．Ithaca can help researchers ________.
A．repair inscriptions B．record lifestyle
C．structure societies D．discover areas
57．The success rate for repairing would be ________ if humans and Ithaca worked together.
A．25% B．62% C．71% D．72%
58．According to Sommerschied, Ithaca ________.
A．has unlocked the cooperative chance
B．predicted a far different date from historians
C．proved Greek laws were written in 421 BCE
D．has influences on helping understanding history
59．The main purpose of this passage is to ________.
A．introduce a new AI system to us B．make us interested in Greek laws
C．encourage people to join DeepMind D．teach us how to repair inscriptions
【答案】56．A
57．D

（2022·浙江温州·二模）Zaouli is a traditional mask dance of Guro group in Cote D’lvoire, Africa. Created in the 1980s, the dance has various stories behind the origin, but most people agree it was inspired by a beautiful girl called Djela Lou Zaouli.
Although Zaouli was named after a girl and represents the beauty of women, it’s only performed by men. Each Guro village has its own Zaouli dancer. They dance at celebrations, funerals and other special events. And the dance is supposed to bring wealth and peace.
Traditionally, masks play an important role in Ivorian culture. Zaouli is no exception. Usually with decorations of snakes and birds, the Zaouli mask can take up to 6 days to make. It shows a woman’s thin and smiling face, and isn’t expected to be seen until the start of the dance. Moreover, the process of putting on the mask is considered sacred, so filming isn’t allowed. Once the dancer puts on the mask, he’s no longer himself, moving even faster as if he’s taken over by the mask’s superhuman spirit.
Zaouli is extremely physically demanding. The dancer holds his body still while his legs perform a great number of different moves fast. During one performance, he never repeats those moves. They may look similar, but the complexity of his feet movements is very difficult to figure out and amazing to watch. On average it takes a dancer seven years to perfect his moves.
Known as the “most impossible dance in the world”, this energetic dance mixes many elements of Ivorian culture. In 2017, it was added to the Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity. It even appeared on CCTV’s Spring Festival Gala in 2018. In recent years, Zaouli has gone popular on international social media like Tik Tok and Facebook.
60．Zaouli is a kind of dance ________.
A．performed by Guro men B．seen as a symbol of happiness
C．created by a girl called Djela D．brought to Africa a century ago
61．According to the passage. Picture ________ shows a usual Zaouli mask.
A． B． C． D．
62．When performing Zaoui, the dancer ________.
A．remains doing the same moves B．does lots of moves fast with his whole body
C．puts much energy into the moves D．lowers the difficulty of his moves to be perfect
63．What is the writing purpose of his passage?
A．To record the history of Zaouli. B．To offer some ways to learn Zaouli.
C．To enjoy the beauty of Zaouli masks. D．To give some information about Zaouli.
