鲁教版2020年中考英语模拟试卷（十五）D卷姓名:_ 班级:_ 成绩:_一、 阅读理解 (共5题；共35分)1. （8分） Once my father asked me to hold his hammer while he repaired something, so we could have some time to talk to each other.For 22 years, after I left home for college, he called me every Sunday at 9 am. He was always interested in my life and how my family was doing, and I never once heard him complain about his own life.Nine years ago when I bought my first house, my father, 67 years old, spent eight hours a day painting it for three days. He would not allow me to pay someone to have it done. All he asked for was a glass of iced tea and for me to hold a paint brush for him and talk to him. But I was too busy.Five years ago, at age 71, my father spent five hours putting together a swingset (秋千组) for my daughter. Again, all he asked was that I get him a glass of iced tea and talk to him. But again, I was too busy.Four years ago, my father drove all the way from Denver to Topeka, with an eight-foot Colorado blue spruce (蓝叶云杉) in his trunk, so that my husband and I could have a part of Colorado growing on our land. I was preparing for a trip that weekend and couldnt spend much time with him.Then, one day, my father telephoned me as usual, this time from my sisters home in Florida. We talked about the tree he had brought me, “Fat Albert”, but that morning he called it “Fat Oscar”, and he seemed to have forgotten some things. I had to get to church, so I cut the conversation short.The call came at 4:40 pm that day: my father was in hospital in Florida with an aneurysm (动脉瘤). I got on a plane immediately, and on the way I thought of all the times I had not taken the time to talk to my father. I realized that I had no idea who he was or what his deepest thoughts were. I promised that when I arrived, I would make up for lost time.I arrived in Florida at 1 am. My father had passed away at 9:12 pm. This time it was he who did not have time to talk to me.（1）Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A . The writer arrived in Florida before her father passed awayB . The writer didnt find enough time to talk to her father all these yearsC . The writer noticed nothing unusual about her fathers health before he was put in the hospital.D . The writers father brought them the Colorado blue spruce because it is an expensive kind of tree.（2）How did the writer feel when she was rushing to the hospital where her father was staying?A . HopelessB . Sorry.C . FrightenedD . Disappointed.（3）Which words best describe the writers father?A . Honest and modest.B . Strict and demanding (要求高的).C . Talkative and positive (积极乐观的).D . Caring and thoughtful.（4）Whats the best title of this passage?A . What a good father!B . How busy I amC . Time keeps going.D . My father and our family.2. （6分） What is your favorite color? Do you like yellow, orange, or red? If you do, you must be an active person who enjoys life. Do you like blue? Then you are probably quiet, shy, and would rather follow than lead.Colors do influence our moods (情绪). A yellow room makes most people feel more cheerful and more relaxed than a dark green one; and a red dress brings warmth and cheer to the saddest winter day. On the other hand, black is depressing(令人压抑的). There was a black bridge over the Thames River, near London. The number of people who killed themselves on that bridge used to be larger than on any other bridge in the area - until it was repainted green.来Light and bright colors make people not only happier but also more active. In the factory, the workers will work better, harder, and have fewer accidents when their machines are painted orange rather than black.（1）An active person may like .A . yellow, orange, or redB . yellow, black, or redC . orange, blue, or blackD . black, red, or orange（2）An active person may like .A . yellow, orange, or redB . yellow, black, or redC . orange, blue, or blackD . black, red, or orange（3）Most people feel more _ in a yellow room than in a dark green one.A . tiredB . boredC . worriedD . relaxed（4）Most people feel more _ in a yellow room than in a dark green one.A . tiredB . boredC . worriedD . relaxed（5）More people killed themselves on the black bridge than on any other bridge probably because _.A . the bridge was very tallB . the bridge was too crowdedC . people didnt like the bridgeD . the color of the bridge was depressing（6）More people killed themselves on the black bridge than on any other bridge probably because _.A . the bridge was very tallB . the bridge was too crowdedC . people didnt like the bridgeD . the color of the bridge was depressing（7）In the factory, when the machines are painted orange, the workers will work _.A . worseB . harderC . more slowlyD . more angrily（8）In the factory, when the machines are painted orange, the workers will work _.A . worseB . harderC . more slowlyD . more angrily（9）Which could be the best title for the passage?A .

The Secret of ColorD . The Color of a Bridge3. （6分）根据短文内容，选择正确答案。Canberra is the capital of Australia.

Geographers predict that climate zones could completely disappear within the next eighty years. Where will crops be grown if this happens? When the climate changes a lot, polar regions will get colder and tropical regions will get even hotter. As a result, where will animals be forced to move on the earth?Climate changes like these could lead to the spread of diseases. Tropical storms and hurricanes(飓风) will not only increase but may also become stronger. If the changes come too quickly, animals and plants may not be able to adapt(适应) right away and could disappear from the earth.According to Science Daily, a new study predicts that, by the year 2100, many of todays familiar climates will be taken place by climate unknown in todays world. It is urgent that we reduce the risks of far-reaching results for the whole world. The planet itself has been showing signs of change. In 2004, a huge tsunami created by a major earthquake killed thousands in Sumatra and in 2008, thousands more died in China in another big earthquake. Egypt was hit in 2009 with a major earthquake and Haiti was destroyed seriously and became ruins in 2010 by another big earthquake.Not long ago, scientists discovered ice melting(融化) in west Antarctica(南极洲). This is very worrying because temperatures in this area have remained rather constant(不断的) and actually even lower at time. Melting occurs when temperatures increase and since temperatures have remained, the ice should not be melting. However, satellite data(数据) shows melting around west Antarctica.Within just the last few months, new reports from around the world have been coming in and most agree that our climate situation is much worse than previously expected. At this point, it doesnt matter what is causing it, but rather, what can be done about it. On the other hand, our world is getting more and more unstable(不稳定) every year. Natural disasters(灾难) are becoming more frequent(频繁的) and serious.However, other planets are experiencing global warming as well as our own and some scientists believe there may be some connections between these. No one knows anything for sure at this point because there is simply not enough data. （1）Whats the writers attitude toward the climate changes?A . We should observe the great changes of the climate carefully.B . We must connect with other planets to prevent the climate changes.C . We should try our best to do something against the climate changes.D . We need to discover what causes the climate changes first of all.（2）What does the underlined word “tropical” mean?A . cold and dryB . cool and wetC . hot and wetD . warm and dry（3）What can be inferred from the passage? A . Collecting more data will help us to solve the problem.B . The climate will be much better than we have expected.C . Earthquakes can be avoided in a few years time.D . The ice in west Antarctica will stop melting in the future.（4）The prediction of geographers is that_ A . human being will extinguish in 2010.B . the ice in the South Pole will all melt in the future.C . the sea level will decrease.D . climate zones will disappear.（5）which of the following is False? A . Climate changes cause the spread of diseases.B . In 2100,many of todays familiar climates will disappear.C . Scientist found that the ice is melting in east Antarctica.D . There are more and more natural disasters occurring in our world.（6）whats the passage mainly about? A . It tells us how to protect the environment of the earth.B . It talks about the bad effects of the climate changes.C . It shows us how to prevent diseases from spreading.D . It describes what we should do with the earthquakes.5. （5分）请阅读下列短文。根据短文内容从下面方框的七个选项中，选择五个适当的句子还原到原文中，使短文意思通顺、结构完整。Do you know Lisa King? _ She is from Australia.
