The race is on to get more electric cars on the road. People predict that
electric cars might be more common in the future. But according to a 2021
survey by Pew Research Center, more than half of U.S. adults like gas-
powered cars better. They say electric cars are expensive and charging(充电)
them is a big problem. For now, most people plan to stick with gas-powered
cars. We ask young readers what they think about electric cars.
Henry, 12 years old, San Francisco
I think we should all have electric cars. This would cut down air
pollution and allow us to breathe better. Cleaner air also means there will be
fewer animals dying. Think of all the lives we have lost by destroying our
environment.
Some people think electric cars are pricey. But their prices are coming
down. What's more, gas costs a lot more than electricity. Once you use the
gas, it's gone. Anyway, I think we're going to run out of gas at some point.
This will make electric cars a need. Also, do you know that electric cars
can travel 33 miles for about a dollar? You can't say that for gas. All cars
should be electric!
Sandy, 13 years old, New York
I don't think all cars should be electric. First of all, charging stations are
less common than gas stations. This makes electric cars a lot less convenient
for long trips. What's more, cold weather does harm to the batteries(电池).
They can't work well as usual. And electric cars are also more expensive
than common cars. A new electric car usually costs around $11,000 more
than a new gas car. True, electric cars help slow climate change. But
throwing batteries away can hurt our planet.
( )1.Over half of the American adults agree that electric cars
according to the survey.
A. have no problem in charging
B. are bad for the environment
C. are expensive and less convenient
D. can work better in cold weather
( )2.The underlined word "pricey" probably means " ".
A. fast B. slowC. cheap D. expensive
( )3.Sandy develops her idea mainly by .
A. telling stories B. listing facts
C. asking questions D. using sayings
( )4.Which of the following can be the best title for the passage?
A. Should all cars be electric?
B. Will cars be common in the future?
C. Can electric cars help slow climate change?
D. Are gas-powered cars bad for the environment?
B
①Zoos are very popular with adults and children. But are zoos actually a
good thing?
②Some people criticize keeping animals in zoos. In their opinion, animals
often suffer a lot for being enclosed(围住). Even the best zoos can't provide
the environment that animals enjoy in the wild. It's a pity that the animals
living in the wild are caught, and then kept away from their families. This
leads many zoo animals to feel nervous or sad. What's worse, some zoo
animals may even die earlier than their wild relatives.
③However, some people have different ideas. They think zoos can
connect people with animals, educate the public to protect animals and call on
people to save animals as well as their homes. Some zoos offer a safe place
to those animals which have been badly treated. Also, to support international
breeding program, zoos have special programs to produce more young animals,
especially for the species(物种) which are in danger of dying out. In the wild,
some of the endangered species have trouble in finding partners and having
new baby animals. A good zoo will provide a safe environment for these
species. Moreover, zoos also do research into animal behavior and how to treat
animal illnesses.
④So, are zoos good or not? It depends on how good the zoo is. It's sure
that zoos have more advantages than their harmful effects. But it is
understandable that many people don't agree to enclose animals for any reason.
( )5.The underlined word "criticize" means " ".A. thinking it's right B. thinking it's dangerous
C. thinking it's wrong D. thinking it's difficult
( )6.[中考创新考法|篇章结构题]What's the structure of this passage?

Social media(社交媒体) is certainly an interesting place to learn others'
opinions. You can read everything from strange ideas to true facts and
everything in between. But when you're spending time online and reading so
many opinions, it's quite possible that you'll sometimes see someone write
something that you strongly disagree with.
In fact, you might feel so strongly that you feel like you should reply to
this person at once. You might do some research, find some facts of your
own and reply to what they've written. You finish writing out your reply,
click(点击) "Post" and win the argument!
Except that it's not really much of a victory. Most people don't like it
when other people disagree with their ideas, especially online strangers. It's
unlikely that they will change their opinion just because you argued with them.
And the thing is, when you get into these kinds of fights online, it slowly
influences you.You might not know it at first, but the argument that you take
part in can actually have a bad effect on your mood. If you argue often, you
start to enjoy arguing and then end up doing it even more. It's a dangerous
cycle.
I guess the best thing to do is to tell yourself that most arguments aren't
worth it. There are much better and more interesting things to do, whether
online or in real life.
( )8.How does the writer feel about social media?
A. People seldom use it to argue.B. Many people use it to express their opinions.
C. It is a good way to connect with strangers.
D. You can't know other people's real ideas.
( )9.What does the writer tell us in Paragraph 3?
A. Arguments can change people's minds.
B. Disagreeing with someone won't change their mind.
C. People who post their ideas on social media are usually incorrect.
D. It's easy to win arguments online.
( )10.How may arguing online affect you?
A. You will face a lot of dangers.
B. You will become more confident.
C. You might feel bad and argue more.
D. You will get better at arguing.
( )11.What is the writer's advice?
A. Argue until you find the truth.
B. Don't discuss problems with strangers.
C. Try to communicate in real life instead of online.
D. Find something better to do instead of arguing.
( )12.Which of the following can be the best title for the passage?
A. No Freedom Online B. True Facts on Social Media
C. Are Fights Online Worth It D. Victory Against Strangers
D(2022·四川绵阳中考改编)
Do you compare yourself to other people? Perhaps your best friend
receives something you really want, or you're not allowed to go to a concert
but your brother or sister is. Even though comparisons are common and can
sometimes be helpful, focusing(专注) on your own progress is important for
your happiness.
"We often compare ourselves to others who are doing better or not as
well as ourselves," says Dr. Jack. "But I suggest comparing yourself to your
past self and your future self. This can make you feel proud of what you've
achieved and excited about what you might do. Focusing on your own
purposes is more worthwhile than always trying to come out on top."Comparing yourself to those around you is natural and we often do it
without realizing it. It can help us to be clear about our achievements and to
form friendships with new people who have similar interests. However, it's
important to remember that nobody is perfect in real life. It's also important to
take note of how the comparison is making you feel. "If you begin to feel
quite low, focus on your own strengths ," says Jack.In other words, you can
ask yourself questions like "What can I do well in?", which can help you trust
yourself.
Maybe here you are wondering "What if all my friends are better than
me?". Dr. White says that jealousy(妒忌) is not bad but focusing on bettering
your own work can help you feel just as successful.He also mentions that
learning to celebrate your friends' success can not only help to cheer your
friends up but also help you feel good. It will encourage you to build each
other up.
( )13.What does the writer tell us in Paragraph 1?
A. We should compare ourselves with others.
B. We should share things with brothers.
C. We should enjoy concerts with sisters.
D. We should focus on our own progress.
( )14.Why should you compare yourself to your past self?
A. To care about others. B. To change your purposes.
C. To increase your excitement. D. To be proud of your achievements.
( )15.What does the underlined phrase "your own strengths" probably mean
in Paragraph 3?
A. what you're good at B. what you've understood
C. what you're crazy about D. what you've experienced
( )16.What does Dr. White suggest?
A. Trusting your friends. B. Cheering on tiny success.
C. Celebrating others' success. D. Forming a deep friendship.
