It is considered a promising source of green energy to produce electricity in coastal areas. To make use of tidal energy, we need to build tidal power stations. The bays and the river mouths where the tide is high (the tidal range is more than 10 metres) are usually perfect sites to build tidal power stations. There are many such places in the world. According to the IRENA (the International Renewable Energy Agency), by just using 2% of our coastlines, we can produce 4, 383TWh of ocean power each year, enough to meet 16. 4% of the world's electricity needs. To build a tidal power station, we need to build a dam. In the dam are many turbines and on each turbine there is an electric generator. When the tide rises, water comes through the dam, the turbines turn and the electric generators work, producing electricity. When the tide fall, water goes out through the dam, the turbines turn again. The electric generators continue to work. Tidal energy has it advantages. Using tidal energy to produce electricity is much cheaper than using the traditional energy, like coal or gas. For example, the Rance Tidal Power Station in France has been there for over 50 years, producing around 540, 000TWh of electricity each year. The cost is only 1.3 cents/TWh. Tidal energy can be used nearly 24 hours a day. As long as the sun, the earth and the moon exist, we can use it to produce electricity. But without sunshine, here is no solar energy. When there is no wind, electric generators will not work. In addition, with the development of modern technology, tidal energy can be stored and used to produce electricity continuously. However, we still have some problems to solve. It is difficult to build a dam in the sea, and the cost is very high. Moreover, it's expensive to keep a tidal power station in is best condition. Scientists are working on them.33. A tidal power station is best built __________.A. at a river mouth with wind B. along the coast with wavesC. in a bay with tide high enough D. in coastal areas with sunshine34. The underlined word "turbine" in Paragraph There is a machine to__________.A. make the tide rise and fall B. make an electric generator workC. let water go through the dam D. keep the dam in good condition35. What advantage does tidal energy have?A. We can use it to get useful tide. B. It can improve the ocean environment.C. We can use it nearly all the time. D. It meets 16. 4% of the electricity needs.36. How can we make better use of tidal energy?A. By digging more bays and river mouths.B By building cheaper tidal power stations.C. By closing traditional electric power.D. By using tidal energy to replace other energy.   （三）【2020•重庆市A卷中考】 When Goldie Nejat began developing robots in 2005, she spent much of her time knocking on doors to let people know how her robots worked but few showed interest, "But now, it's different," Says Nejat, "People calling from around the world ask when my robots are going to be ready." Nejať's robots are designed to fill an increasing need: care-giving for the old. The population of the people over age 80 will be 426 million in 2050, three times larger than that now.Such robots could be especially useful for patients with Alzheimer's disease (老年痴呆症 ). They can help with everyday activities from preparing food to reminding(提醒) the patients of taking their medicine. They can also play games with patients to keep them active.Some have worried that care-giving robots might reduce (减少 ) human interaction (互动) and cause more humans to lose their jobs. "But the aim is to support human care, not to take the place of it" says Brian Scassellati. He has tested robots with different patients, and found that daily interaction with robots can help children with autism spectrum disorder(自闭障碍症) improve social skills.As a field grows, scientists aim to understand human-robot relationships better. Do robots offer advantages because they don't have feelings and don't give opinions? Will patients lose interest?"One thing is clear," Scassellati says, "Robots can provide care for the customers and the need for that will increase in the future. "32. Nejat's robots are designed to________.A. work in the factory B. make phone callsC. take care of the old D. knock on doors33. The writer starts the passage by________.A. telling two stories B. comparing two factsC. raising a question D. giving an example34. The main idea of Paragraph 3 is________.A. what the robots can do B. what serious problems the robots causeC. what the old people can do D. what the old people think of the robots35. According to Scassellati, we can infer that Nejat's robots ________.A. will have feelings soon B. can take the place of humansC. should be produced more D. won't give their own opinions  （四）【2020 •浙江省宁波市中考】Long long ago, there lived a man and a woman who had seven sons.

After the outbreak (爆发) of COVID-19, she suddenly lost her job. Seeing that there were many others like herself in trouble from the outbreak, Akinpe and her two roommates, Michele Gomez and Maureen Lee, brainstormed ideas for how to help their local community. They came up with a street pantry（储藏柜）. Gomez said the idea was very simple, “Take what you need and leave what you can.”With the help of Gomez’s father, they built the Blessing Box – a street pantry, with shelves and hanging baskets and two doors made from old furniture. It sits just at the back of the three girls’ home, so they can look after it. They put some information notices into their neighbors’ mailboxes, and the Blessing Box was quickly filled with the donations (捐赠)from the community, “It is the community’s strong support that keeps the project alive,” Akinpe said. We now have hundreds of people visiting our box every day. It might only a hours for the box to be full and next hour it might become empty again. “We are now helping others to carry out similar projects in their own communities, too”, Gomez said. Lee said things in the box were mostly convenience foods, as well as some necessary life things such as spaghetti and toilet paper. “Few people take everything at once. They think there are other people who need them more.” Lee added. There were many people rushing there for donations.

Here are two real stories from our readers. The first story is from Ray. "My cat, Tiger, hates it when I use my iPad because it takes my attention away from him. One year, I had a fall at home and was on the floor for 16 hours. During this time, I was unable to move and couldn't get to the phone to call for help. Tiger stayed by my side until he disappeared under my bed. 'What's he up to?' I wondered. To my surprise, he started to push something towards me. It was my iPad, which I didn't realize had fallen off the bed and onto the floor. He probably didn't know what it was, but he knew that it made me happy. Thanks to Tiger, I was able to communicate with my friend, Becky, who then told my doctor."The second story is from Colin. "Years ago, my friend Julius saved a bird-a wild 'Mom' cockatoo（鹦鹉）from the side of the road and kept it as a pet in a big cage(笼子). It lost one of her wings, so she was unable to return to the wild. Soon, two wild cockatoos came visiting and one 'Dad' bird wanted to find his way into the cage. The 'Mom' cockatoo in the cage was soon expecting. But as she couldn't fly, 'Dad' cockatoo built a home in the tree, keeping off everyone who got close to 'Mom' cockatoo. 'Baby' cockatoo would spend his days flying off with his dad, leaving his mom behind. She would sit and wait until they returned home each afternoon. The family stayed together happily."After reading the stories, don’t you think we should get along well with animals? No matter they are our pets or live in the wild, they have their feelings.

A bestseller, Willpower: Rediscovering Our Greatest Strength, suggests that willpower(意志力)is the ability to make decisions that are better for us in the long term, rather than in the short term. Here is a famous experiment in the book: The Marshmallow Test. In 1972, Professor Walter Mischel tested the willpower of 600 four-year-olds to six-year-olds. In the experiment, each child was left alone in a room for fifteen minutes with a marshmallow(棉花软糖）on a table in front of them. They were given two choices: they could either eat it or, if they waited fifteen minutes, they'd be given a second one(and then they could eat both). So, what did the kids do? Well, as you can imagine, 70% ate the first marshmallow within the fifteen minutes. But the other 30% showed willpower—they controlled themselves and waited for the second marshmallow. But then Mischel discovered something really interesting. Twenty years later, he got in touch with the children, who, by then, were in their early twenties. And he found that those who'd shown strong willpower were getting better marks at university and were more popular. Willpower is like a muscle（肌肉), and the more you exercise it, the stronger it gets. So, if you do daily "self-control exercises", such as making your bed or brushing your teeth, you'll improve your overall willpower. And daily willpower exercises will help you with those bigger goals, such as studying for an exam or training for a marathon. Be careful though. Just like any muscle, your "willpower muscle" can get tired. If you've had to do lots of things that require willpower, take a break or give yourself a treat. That way, you’ll build up your willpower again. And one last thing, the writer mentions people who learn foreign languages usually have a lot of willpower. So, congratulations!23. How many children got two marshmallows in the Marshmallow Test in 1972?A. 180. B. 240. C. 420. D. 600.24. In Paragraphs 2&3, the famous experiment explains __________.A. more kids have stronger willpowerB. willpower influences people's lives greatlyC. how people practice children's willpowerD. marshmallows can help improve willpower25. The writer probably agrees that ________.A. all the language learners have stronger willpowerB. will power can't be improved by doing some daily thingsC. young kids don't need to practice willpower like grown-upsD. people with strong willpower can achieve their goals more easily26. According to the passage, people who ________ might have strong willpower.A. do regular piano practice every day B. give up morning running halfwayC. eat as much junk food as they like D. usually get up late on the cold morning   （九）【2020 •丹东市】Most people think sleepwalkers (梦游者) walking around at night. But in fact, not all sleepwalkers walk. Some only sit up or get out of bed or act like how they often do during the day when they are sleeping! But most sleep walkers do get up and go around for a few seconds or half an hour.Sleepwalkers' eyes are open, but they don't see the same way as they do during the day, and they often think they are in different rooms of the house or different places. Sleepwalkers usually go back to bed themselves and they don't remember it in the morning.Scientists say that sleepwalking may sometimes happen when a person is sick, has a fever, is not getting enough sleep, or he has much stress.There's no medicine for sleepwalking, but here are some ideas from doctors to help sleepwalkers:·Relax at bedtime by listening to quiet music.·Go to bed at the same time every day. ·Keep everything quiet when you are trying to sleep.·Don't drink a lot in the evening and be sure you go to the washroom before going to bed.Remember: don't shout to sleepwalkers when they're sleeping, or they can get confused (迷惑的) and scared.41.

There are a lot of myths about the human brain.One of the biggest myths is that we only use 10 percent of our brains. The next part of the myth is that if we can learn to use the rest of our brains, then we’ll be much smarter. People say this all the time, but it’s absolutely not true! The truth is that although we don’t know everything about the human brain, we know that each part of it has an important function (功能) . Modern scientists think the "10 percent myth" ridiculous (荒谬的) . The other most popular myth is about being "right brained" or "left brained". According to this myth, people who use the right side of their brains are more artistic and creative. People who use the left side of their brains are better at math and science. This is as popular as the 10 percent myth, and it’s also wrong. In 2013, a study at an American university examined the right brain and left brain myth. According to the study, we use both sides of our brains equally (相等地). "    It’s true that we use different parts of our brains for different things. We use our left side for language more, and our right side when we need to pay attention. But there is no evidence (证据) that creative people use the right side more or that scientific people use the left side more.We’ve talked about myths, so let’s look at a few interesting facts about the brain. First of all, the brain feels no pain. Second, about 75 percent of the brain is made of water. It’s also the fattest organ in your body. Here’s another interesting fact about the brain. Around the time you turn 18 years old, it stops growing.31. The underlined word "This" in Paragraph 3 refers to ______________.A. the left brain myth B. the right brain and left brain mythC. the use of human brains D. the study of an American university32.
