浙江省杭州市2016年度中考英语冲刺之真题模拟分享四（word版） 中考真题模拟分享四(6.03) Day 4 一(阅读理解。 Passage1(上城区 2016 年二模 C) A great number of people in the world have never seen snow.Others see more of it than they want to . Hail is much more common;it happens even in deserts. Hail is a small round ball of alternating layers(交互层)of snow and clear ice.It forms inside large dark clouds that you can see before or during a storm.There are two ideas about how hailstones from. One idea shows that hail forms when drops of water freeze in the upper air.As they fall,they collect more drops of water.They also collect snow.The ice and snow build up in layers.If you cut a hailstone,you can see these alternating layers. The other idea says that hail starts as a raindrop .The wind carries it higher into the atmosphere( 大 气 层 )， where it gets covered by snow .It becomes heavy and begins to fall.As it falls,it gets a layer of water,which freezes,Then the wind carries it back up to the snow area,and it gets another layer of snow.This can happen a number of times.Finally the hailstone is too heavy to travel on the wind,and it falls to the ground. Only a thunderstorm(暴风雨),a storm with loud noises and lighting can produce hail,but very few of them do.Perhaps only one in 400 thunderstorms create hailstones. A hailstone is usually less than eight centimeters in diameter.However,hailstones can be much bigger than that.Sometimes they are as big as baseballs.The largest hailstone which people have ever recorded weighed over 680 grams and had a diameter of thirteen centimeters. Hail can cause the death of plants,especially since hail usually appears in the middle of summer ,when the plants are partly grown.If the crops are destroyed,it is too late to plant more,and the farmer has lost everything.In one terrible hailstorm in 1923 in Rosov,in UKraine,twenty-three people and many farm animals were killed. 1.Which of the following is about HAIL? 2.According to the passage,which of the following is the fact about hail?

You sold your soul the day you put on that first pair of Jimmy Choo’s.” That line from the movie The Devil Wears Prada is an example showing how a shoemaker has become famous in the fashion world. Jimmy Choos (Zhou Yangjie) is a native Malaysian of Chinese origin (出身), born in 1961 into a family of shoemakers. He created his first pair of shoes at age 11. His family couldn’t pay for his schooling, so he dropped out at a young age. He had to work with his father to support the family. But his dream to be a fashion designer never disappeared, so he did all he could to enter an art college and finally took up a position in the fashion world through his talent and willpower. Choo graduated from a college in London and had a small workshop there. He hit the international fashion scene when Vogue magazine described his designs in eight pages in 1988. His work was immediately popular and got love and support from Diana, Princess of Wales. Jimmy Choo shoes are known for their very high heels and pointed toes. However, he does some flats and lower-heeled shoes for other women. Choo co-founded Jimmy Choo Ltd. with Tamara Mellon, UK Vogue editor, but left the company in 2001. Jimmy Choo shops have opened around the world, so his designs are more accessible to those who want a designer shoe, and can afford his prices. Choo also has a website where shoppers can view his ready-to-wear designs. The brand of Jimmy Choo has been comparable to top brands, like Channel, LV, etc. But it’s still young and has a bright future. We can’t imagine how hard it is for Choo to stand out in the worldwide fashion! He must have made greater efforts and had more difficulties than others. And so he did.

Passage 3(公益 2016 年二模 C) What would the world be like if cars could drive themselves Imagine seeing an empty car passing by on its way to pick up its owner, or a car full of passengers who are reading, listening to music or even sleeping, but none of them are worried about the road ahead. Well, all of this could be the future of driving. There are several companies, including Google, working on driverless (无人驾驶的 ) cars, which are currently in the testing stages. If the tests are successful, these electric, self-driven cars could be available very soon. But, how is it possible for a car to drive itself. Cars already have many features allowing them to take over for drivers in certain situations. Some features include cars being able to park themselves, or slow down when they detect objects close by. They can also control the speed if there are dangerous conditions, such as snow or slippery (滑的) roads. Other features have also changed the way drivers react to some situations. Scientists and engineers believe, with the help of wireless signals, cameras and GPS, we are now at a stage where creating a safe self-driving car might be possible. The self-driven car may be the answer to lowering the number of deadly accidents caused by careless drivers or dangerous conditions. However, there are still some people who do not like the idea. American lawyer Whit Drake, for example, doesn’t believe these cars are safe. He thinks the possibility of the technology making a mistake will be too high. 11.
