江西省中考英語試題
D
In many countries, tattoos are in fashion (時尚). On TV you can often see a famous actor or musician with a tattoo on his arm or foot. Many sports players have them, too. In the US, tattoos are very popular. Forty percent of Americans aged between 26 and 40 have a tattoo, and 60 percent of customers in US tattoo parlors are women. These people are often professional people like doctor, teachers and lawyers.
However, tattoos are not modern. In fact, they are very old in human history. For example, archaeologists (考古學(xué)家) found a human in ice from 5,000 years ago. He had 57 tattoos on his back, ankles, legs, knees and feet. Tattoos were used for many different reasons. In ancient Egypt, people got tattoos because they were “beautiful”. But in ancient Rome, tattoos were negative (負(fù)面的) and put on criminals and prisoners. In India, tattoos were religious (宗教的).
In the 16th and 17th century, European sailors (船員) arrived on the islands of Polynesia. They saw tattoos for the first time. The people on the islands had tattoos on their shoulders, chests, backs and legs. Often the tattoos were of animals or natural features like a river or a mountain. The European sailors liked them and made their own tattoos, so the idea traveled to Europe. Tattoos in Polynesia are still important today. They show information about a person’s history, their island or their job.
So is there a connection (聯(lián)系) between traditional tattoos and fashionable tattoos? And can you call tattoos a fashion? Chris Rainier is an expert in tattoos and his book Ancient Marks has photos of tattoos from all over the world. He thinks people in modern societies often have tattoos because they are a connection to the traditional world. But tattoos aren’t a fashion like clothes or a haircut because you can’t put them on and take them off again like a jacket or a hat. They are permanent (永久的) and for life.

Humans’ Greatest Achievements
The Earth is 4.5 billion years old, but the human race has lived on it for just 200,000 years. In that short time, we have achieved some amazing things.
76 The list is almost endless. The invention of the airplane has changed our lives. The discovery of antibiotics (抗生素) has saved the lives of millions of people. Can you imagine living without electricity? What about the printing press (印刷術(shù))? Without the printing press, you wouldn’t be reading this. In the last 50 years, there have been great achievements in communication, such as radio, TV, computers, the Internet, and smartphones (智能手機(jī)). 77
What about the arts? The arts have brought pleasure to many people, but are the Beatles and Bach more important than antibiotics? 78
Finally, we must not forget humans’ early achievements. 79 We can’t imagine modern life without cooked food and cars.
What are humans’ greatest achievements? To answer the question, we need to decide what we mean by “great”. 80 Or is it just something that makes us say “Wow,” like the Great Wall? What do you think?
76【答案】E;【解析】由上下文可知76句是一個承上啟下的句子，因此選E。
77【答案】G;【解析】由上文可知人類在通訊方面取得了很多成就，只有G項(xiàng)符合情境。
78【答案】F;【解析】78空前面是一個疑問句，而這一段主要是在講藝術(shù)方面的成就，而78空也必然是同藝術(shù)科技成就的一個對比，因此選擇F。
79【答案】D;【解析】根據(jù)下文提到了做飯方面的東西，前面一定也會提到，因此要選做飯有關(guān)的句子。
80【答案】B;【解析】由下文的“or”可以判斷前面也是一個疑問句，因此選B。
五、補(bǔ)全對話(5分)
請閱讀下面對話，根據(jù)對話內(nèi)容補(bǔ)上所缺的句子，使對話通順、合理，意思完整。并將答案填到答題卡的相應(yīng)位置。(每空一句，每句1分，共5分)
