Getting electricity has always been a problem for the 173 people living in Nuevo Saposoa, a small village in Peru, South America. However, things went from bad to worse in March 2015 after heavy rains damaged the only power cables in the area. The villagers were forced to use oil lamps, which are not only expensive but also dangerous because of the harmful gases they produce.Luckily, researchers at the University of Technology (UT) in Lima, Peru heard about their problem and found a wonderful solution. They made a lamp that can be powered by plants and soil, both of which can be easily found in the Amazonian rainforest where the village lies. The lamp takes energy from a plant growing in a wooden box and uses it to light up an LED light bulb.While that may sound amazing and even impossible, the science behind the ides is quite simple. As plants create their food (using the sun’s energy, water and chemicals from the soil), they also produce waste which they return to the soil. Tiny animals in the soil eat this waste and they produce electrons – the building blocks of electrical energy. The UT team put special sticks inside the soil to capture the energy and keep it in the lamp’s batteries for later use. The researchers say a single charge can power a 50-watt Led light for two hours - enough time for local villagers to get their evening work done.The university gave ten Plant Lamps to the villagers of Nuevo Saposoa in October 2015. So far, they have been a huge success! Elmer Ramirez, the UT professor who invented the lamp, believes the Plant Lamp could help improve the lives of many people, especially small rainforest communities, 42% of whom have no electricity.36.

36. D 细节题。从首段的最后一句可知,油灯不仅贵还会产生有害气体。
37. B 推断题。从第三段的第三句“Tiny animals in the soil eat this waste and they produceelectrons”可知,土壤里面的微生物吃掉了植物产生的废物并生成了电子,因此这种植物灯所产生的电来源于植物所产生的废物。该题难度较大,描述较长,不好理解。
38. D 判断正误。A选项,植物灯并不是当地人制作的,而是由一些调查专家所做。B选项,植物灯的优势在于不贵且无污染,而非使用方便。C选项,从倒数第二段的末句可知,植物灯并不能生产出人们所需要的全部电能,它只能产生供人们顺利完成晚上工作的电能。D选项,植物灯生电的材料主要是植物,而植物在雨林地区很容易找到。
39. A 细节题。从全文最后一句可知该植物灯更多是用于那些没有供电的地区,如热带雨林。
40. A 推断题。本文主要介绍了一项新发明—植物灯。41. How many people will be given prizes in total?A. ThreeB. FiveC. NineD. Ten42. Who can take part in the competition?A. A 20-year-old singer.B. A 19-year-old daughter of a judge.C. A 15-year-old friend of an organizer.D. A 12-year-old friend of William Daniels.43.

Song Choice.C. Audience ResponseD. Dancing Ability.45. If an 18-year-old singer wants to enter the competition, which parts of the form must be completed?A. Singer’s Name.B. Singer’s Name and Singer’s Age.C. Singer’s Name, Singer’s Age and Date of Event.D. Singer’s Name, Singer’s Age and Parent Permission.本文属于应用文,介绍了一项歌唱比赛的参赛须知等内容。
41. C 细节题。 从文中奖项设置可知一等奖1名,二等奖3名以及三等奖5名,共9个奖。
42. C 细节题。 从第二段的“Competition Rules”可知,参赛选手年龄在13-19之间,且评委和组织者的亲戚不能参赛。A和D的选项年龄不符合,B选项的“daughter”不符合。
43. D 细节题。从文中可知达人的门票是$15元,父母两人共需30美元。
44. A 细节题。从文中的“Winners will be decided according to the following”可知,“Voicequality”占比50%,比例最大。
45. B 细节题。 C选项的“Date of Event”已经给出,故选手不需要提供该信息;该选手已经18岁,不需要征得父母统一,故D选项不符合。A选项信息不全。第二节 阅读填空(共5小题;每小题1分,满分5分)阅读短文及文后A-E选项,选出可以填入46-50各题空白处的最佳选项,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。Jellyfish and Crocrodiles(水母和鳄鱼)

46. B 从后文的“It has a population of about 12,000 .”可以看出,前一句提到了一个地名。因此得出B答案。
47. D 由后面一句“We drive to Cable Beach… to swim or to fish.”可得出前文是介绍我们会去游泳和钓鱼。
48. A 文章前后在介绍“jellyfish”的危险,A选项能恰当地放到这一空中,与前后文一并体现出水母的恐怖之处。
49. C 由后文可知,这一段是在描述我们遇到鳄鱼的惊险经历,可得出文章开头是在介绍澳大利亚另一种危险的生物——鳄鱼。
50. E 空格前后描述遇到鳄鱼的具体经历,后文说到父亲告诉我们赶紧起身,因此可判断此处是遇到突发情况了。四.写作(共三节,满分35分)第一节 单词拼写(共6小题:每小题1分,满分6分)根据下列句子及给单词的首字母写出所缺单词。在填写答卷时,要求写出完整单词。(每空限填一词)51.

作文简析
1. 2016广州中考英语沿用往年风格,仍旧是文化类的提纲作文,主题是志愿者活动。这个话题学生比较熟悉,在八年级下册Unit1已经出现。
2. 全文的要点包括活动内容和活动意义。其中,活动内容已经给出详细的文字提示,学生需要做好内容翻译。相较之下,活动意义没有直接提示,学生需要对志愿者活动有一定的认识,且需要自行组织语言,难度较大。
3. 此外,全文需要用到两种时态,活动内容采用一般过去时,而活动意义则采用一般现在时。

Dear diary,
I went to the Guangdong Museum with my schoolmates to do some voluntary work today.Students from three grades took part in it and worked as different roles. Students of Grade Sevenworked as guides who took visitors to different rooms. And those of Grade Eight played a shortopera, introducing Guangzhou history to tourists. As for students of Grade Nine, they madebeautiful posters which helped people know Lingnan Culture better.
In my opinion, it is of great help to hold such activities. On one hand, it is a good chance forus students to develop a sense of responsibility as well as our work ability. On the other hand, thehistory and culture can be passed on from one generation to another.
