篇十九(2022苏州中考真题)
All aboard! Let's take a ride on the world's highest railway 一 the
Qinghai-Tibet Railway （青藏铁路）.Sit back and enjoy the journey.
Get ready for the trip of a lifetime.
We're leaving Qinghai Station. The scenery along the way is some of
the wildest in all of China. Keep your eyes open as we race through this
beautiful land. You might see a rare Tibetan antelope （藏羚羊） from your window.
Before we begin our journey, let's learn about this amazing railway. It's truly one of the great engineering
wonders of the 21st century. When it was completed on July 1，2006，the Tibet Railway set nine world
records, including the world's highest railway at 5，072 metres above sea level, the world's highest tunnel
（隧道） at 4，905 metres, and the longest tunnel ever built on permafrost （冻土）.
As we travel higher, the air gets thinner and thinner. Soon there will only be 50 to 60 percent of the oxygen
which we are used to breathing. But don't be afraid. Each rail car has two separate oxygen systems. One
system spreads oxygen throughout the train at all times. And each passenger can also get a personal oxygen
mask just like those used in planes.
Here are a few more things to think about as our train leaves the station. The designers solved three main
challenges when building this great railway. First,the high altitude （海拔） made the task difficult
because there was no enough oxygen. Second, much of the railway runs across permafrost, a type of ground
that keeps changing as the weather warms and cools. Finally, the railway goes through some of the most
sensitive ecology （敏感的生态环境） in China. Great care was necessary to make sure of the smallest
possible influence on nature.
All three challenges were met, making our trip possible. All aboard! The train to Tibet is leaving in fifteen
minutes.

篇二十(2022苏州中考真题)
When I was little, I was really little. But my dream was big. I dreamed of being a basketball player. I tried
out for the teams at school, but I was never given a chance.
As I got older, I did grow a little bigger, but not a lot bigger. On my 12th birthday, I decided to try a new
sport：running. I told Grandpa. "I' m going to be an athlete."
"Dave," Grandpa began gently, "if you can't be big, you can do something big."
I ran 12 miles on my 12th birthday. On my 13th birthday, I did it again, but I added an extra mile. On my
14th birthday, Iran 14 miles.15 on my 15th,16 on my 16th,and you guessed it--17 miles on my 17th
birthday.
All this running inspired （激发） another big dream. Someday, I'd run the Boston Marathon （波士顿马
拉松赛）.I told Grandpa about my decision.
"But, Dave, you haven't trained for the marathon. Are you sure you're ready？" Grandpa asked. But he still
promised to walk over and cheer me on.
I ran fast that day.But I fell at Mile 18 and was driven to the hospital. Later that night, I called Grandpa and
told him I failed.
"No," he said calmly, "you didn't fail. You discovered something."
"I did？" I asked.
"Yes, you discovered that big dreams don't just come true. They take work. If you train and work hard, I
promise to wait for you next year and cheer you on."
I trained every day, running miles and miles. Sadly, just two months into my training, Grandpa died. He
wouldn't be waiting for my second Boston Marathon. I decided I'd run for him.
That day, I ran fast. "Keep going! You can do it!" His words filled my head as I forced my legs to make each
painful step. As I crossed the finish line, I threw my arms in the air and cried, "Grandpa, we did it!"
63. Why did Dave fail to join the school basketball team？ ______
