科目：初中英語(yǔ) 來(lái)源：浙江杭州拱墅區(qū)2017年九年級(jí)英語(yǔ)中考第二次模擬考試 題型：閱讀理解

Umbrellas are certainly one of life's necessary handy helpers. But as anyone ever caught in a heavy rain will tell you, they're far from perfect. So, many creative designers made efforts to challenge. Here are four clever designs that can solve the rainy day problems.

Senz

Common umbrellas love to invert(翻轉(zhuǎn))when it's windy. The Senz umbrella changes the round shape into the one that's long in the back and short in the front. The design is much stronger against even strong winds, and according to their tests, the Senz works well.

Nubrella

An American named Alan Kaufman and his company spend 6 years inventing this hand-free umbrella. The hand-free umbrella is called Nubrella. The umbrella can rest on the user's shoulders. So the user needn't hold the umbrella any more. And it's convenient to make a phone call or ride a bike without an umbrella in the hand.

Kazbrella

There is no doubt that this kind of umbrella is the shining star in the umbrella market this year. Common umbrellas drip(滴水)everywhere when they are closed. Kazbrella tries to solve this problem in a special way. Though it looks like common umbrella, the design allows the wet side of the umbrella to be inside once you fold it. As a result, getting in and out of your car is not a problem.

Rain Shield

In the face of a heavy rainstorm, rain can hit you from all directions. Rain Shield gives the protection from the sideway rain and its bendy(彎曲)design means it won't invert. It can handle strong wind. When not in use, it folds into a small piece.

1.According to the first paragraph, we know that the common umbrellas__________.

A. are useful but not perfect enough B. can only be used in a heavy rain

C. can protect us very well in a heavy rain D. are challenges for creative designers

2.The umbrella in the following picture is called__________.

A. Senz B. Nubrella C. Kazbrella D. Rain Shield

3.If you use Rain Shield in a heavy rainstorm,__________________________________.

A. it's not convenient enough to take B. it can protect you from sideway rain

C. it will prevent neither rain nor wind D. it's easier to get in and out of the car

4.Which sentence is WRONG according to the passage?

A. Senz is easy to hold with its special shape even in windy weather.

B. Nubrella is a great idea for those who want to play sports on rainy days.

C. Kazbrella opens from the inside out and keeps dry when you carry around.

D. Rain Shield sells best with the special shape and it folds into a small piece.

科目：初中英語(yǔ) 來(lái)源：江蘇省鹽城市毓龍路實(shí)驗(yàn)學(xué)校2017屆九年級(jí)中考第一次模擬英語(yǔ)試卷（word版附答案） 題型：任務(wù)型閱讀

You run among crowded people in a railway station, only to find that the train has left. Do you feel depressed(沮喪的)? Probably. But if you are in France, someone may play the piano

for you. It might be a performance of Chopin's Fantaisie-Impromptu or the Pirates of the Caribbean theme song. To our surprise, it is not performed by a paid musician or a street

entertainer asking for coins. Instead, a passer-by jams (即興演奏) on the piano in the station.

The national railroad company SNCF has put pianos in nearly 100 stations across France. They are rented from Yamaha Corporation. The first piano was set up in the Gare Montparnasse in Paris in 2012.

The pianos have proved to be very popular. In 2014, the SNCF and Yamaha organized a nationwide contest called "Your Turn to Play". It asked participants to upload (上傳) video clips of themselves using one of the pianos. At last, about 900 people took part in the contest.

So if you miss a train in France one day, perhaps someone will be playing your favourite piece, and that will reduce your anxiety (焦慮) a bit. Or perhaps you'll sit down, roll up your sleeves and play your sadness away yourself.

回答下面 5 個(gè)問題。( 56--58 小題回答不超過 7 個(gè)單詞。)

1.If you miss a train in France, who may play the piano for you?

2.When was the first piano set up in the Gare Montparnasse in Paris?

3.What was the name of the contest organized by the SNCF and Yamaha in 2014?

4.Why has the company SNCF put pianos in nearly 100 stations across France?

5.If possible, would you like to jam on the piano in such stations? Why or why not?
