中考英语阅读理解练习（带答案解析及全文翻译）(8)

许多年前，物质十分匮乏。人们学会了做饭，几乎什么都吃，所以他们不得不想办法做出可口的菜。其中有一个菜叫烤渣，烤渣就是用剩下的肉，汤，油和脂肪做出来的。这听起来可能不太好，事实却但非常好吃。现在烤渣已成为宴会上的一道美食了。

Another famous dish is called zao bing. It?s made with fruit, meat and other things. I really liked it! But I didn?t want to eat too much. It has a lot of fat in it.

另一个有名的菜叫早饼。它是用水果，肉类和其他一些东西做成的。我真的很喜欢这道菜！但我不能吃太多。它里面有很多脂肪。

I smelled something burning and I saw smoke, so I found another special food of the Yilan area—duck meat. The duck meat is put in a big oven (炉子) to cook it. Smoke keeps the meat fresh. I don?t usually eat meat, but this duck meat was delicious! It tasted sweet.

我又闻到了烧焦的气味，还看见了烟，与此同时我又发现了另一个特别的食物——鸭肉。鸭肉就是将鸭子肉放在一个大火炉里烤。烟就是为了保持肉的新鲜。我通常是不吃肉类的，但是这鸭子肉味道太好了。它吃起来非常好吃。

Yilan is a great place with delicious food. I hope I can come back again! 宜兰真是个好地方，有很多好吃的食物。我希望我能再回来！ 6

Now satellites are helping to forecast(预报) the weather. They are in space, and they can reach any part of the world. The satellites take pictures of the atmosphere (大气), because this is where the weather forms (形成). They send these pictures to the weather stations. So meteorologists(气象学家)

can see the weather of any part of the world. From the pictures, the scientists can often say how the weather will change.

Today, nearly five hundred weather stations in sixty countries receive satellite pictures. When they receive new pictures, the meteorologists compare them with earlier ones. Perhaps they may find that the clouds have changed during the last few hours. This may mean that the weather on the ground may soon change, too. In their next weather forecast, the meteorologists can say this.

So the weather satellites are a great help to the meteorologists. Before satellites were invented, the scientists could forecast the weather for about 24or 48 hours. Now they can make good forecasts for three or five days. Soon, perhaps, they may be able to forecast the weather for a week or more ahead (提前).

1. Satellites travel __________.

A. in space B. above space C. above the ground D. in the atmosphere 答案A。参考第一段第二句。

2. Why do we use the weather satellites to take pictures of the atmosphere？Because _______. A. clouds form there B. the weather forms there

C. the weather satellites can do it easily D. the pictures can forecast the weather 答案B。参考第一段第三句。

3. Meteorologists forecast the weather _______. A. without studying satellite pictures B. before they receive satellite pictures

C. when they have received satellite pictures

D. after they have compared the new satellite pictures with the earlier ones 答案D。参考第二段第二句。

4. Maybe we?ll soon be able to forecast the weather for _________. A. one day B. two days

C. five days D. seven days or even longer 答案D。参考第三段最后一句。

5. The main idea of this passage is that satellites are now used in __________. A. taking pictures of the earth

B. receiving pictures of the atmosphere C. weather forecasting D. doing other work in many ways 答案C。参考第一段第一句话以及通读全篇都发现文章是在介绍卫星在天气预报中的运用。

现在卫星用来帮助天气预报。它们在太空，并且它们能到达地球的任何地方。.卫星拍摄大气，因为这是形成天气的地方。它们把这些图片发送到气象台。因此气象学家能看到地球上任何部分的天气。从这些图片，科学家们也能推断天气如何变化。

Today, nearly five hundred weather stations in sixty countries receive satellite pictures. When they receive new pictures, the meteorologists compare them with earlier ones. Perhaps they may find that the clouds have changed during the last few hours. This may mean that the weather on the ground may soon change, too. In their next weather forecast, the meteorologists can say this.

今天，在六十个国家有将近五百个气象台接受卫星图片当他们收到新的图片，气象学家把它们

和先前的比较。也许他们会发现，云在过去几小时期间已经改变了。这将意味着地球上的天气可能马上改变。在他们接下来的天气预报中，气象学家会这样说。

So the weather satellites are a great help to the meteorologists. Before satellites were invented, the scientists could forecast the weather for about 24or 48 hours. Now they can make good forecasts for three or five days. Soon, perhaps, they may be able to forecast the weather for a week or more ahead (提前).

所以卫星天气对于气象学家帮助很大。在卫星被发明以前，科学家能够预测未来24到48小时的天气现在他们能预报准确三到五天的天气。不久，可能，他们也许能提前预报一周或更远的天气。 7

Have you ever been ill? When you are ill, you must be unhappy because your body becomes hot, and there are pains all over your body. You don?t want to work, and you stay in bed, feeling very sad.

What makes us ill? It is germs(细菌). Germs are everywhere. They are very small and you can?t find them with your eyes, but you can see them with a microscope. They are very very small and there could be hundreds of them on a very small thing.

Germs are always found in dirty water. When we look at dirty water under the microscope, we shall see them in it. So your father and mother …… 此处隐藏：4648字，全部文档内容请下载后查看。喜欢就下载吧 ……
