‎2019年中考真题英语分项汇编 ‎（一）【2019 • 江苏省苏州市】‎ Athletics vs. Gardening The students of Southside School were asked to give their opinions about whether the school should run an athletic program or start a vegetable garden.‎ An athletic program is hatch better than gardening. How are we ever going to win anything at the Inter-School Athletics without proper training? At the moment, we only do athletics for one tam and the teachers train us. We need experts（专家）to teach us things like throwing and high jump.‎ ‎ ‎ I know lots of kids say they’re tot interested in competitions, but that’s because they’ve never won anything. If they got better training and started winning things, they’d soon change their minds.‎ People always say kids don’t get enough exercise. Just because you do gardening outdoors doesn’t make it exercise, so I don’t sec how it matters.‎ Athletics is much better for fitness and lots of kids can have a go at the same tine. I don’t think there would be enough jobs for everyone in a garden.‎ In fact, I think a garden is a really bad idea. I don’t know why we’re even considering it.‎ Liz, Grade 8‎ I think a vegetable garden is a great idea. We already do hours of sport, including athletics. And not everyone likes sport.‎ Gardening is a great way to get exercise without worrying about whether you’re any good at it, or whether you’re going to win. And you really do gel exercise when you garden. There’s digging, weeding and watering Even picking things can be hard work – pumpkins aren’t light you know!‎ There are lots of kids around here who don’t have gardens so they can’t grow things even they want to. If you really want to do more sport, you can join a club.‎ And think about it: What helps you to be good at sport? You need to eat lots of fruit and vegetables. If we learn to cook all the things we grow, the garden will keep us all fit and healthy and then we’ll be better at sport.‎ ‎ Sam, Grade 8‎ ‎5. Which of these points do Liz and Sam both make?‎ A.

Some big stores with toys may even have a pink floor for girls and a blue floor for boys. In fact, it is difficult to buy a toy for a girl that is not pink.‎ Some people think that too much pink is bad for girls. Sue Palmer, writer of Toxic Childhood, is very worried that most girls over the age of three are crazy about the color. According to some scientists, this happens for two reasons. Firstly, most companies offer too many products in pink. Also, many parents think their little daughter looks cute in pink. Sue Palmer says that girls at this age cannot make proper decisions by themselves, but the pink can affect (影响) the choices and the decisions they will make in the future.‎ Some parents are worried too-for example, Vanessa Holburn, thirty-two, who has two girls under the age of four. Their bedrooms are a sea of pink and Vanessa is not happy. ＂Pink says that you are soft and gentle. Blue says that you are strong and powerful. I want my daughters to be strong and powerful. I’m worried that pink will not help them with that,＂ she says.‎ But not everyone thinks there’s something wrong with pink. Grayson Turner is a father of three girls and he isn’t worried at all. ＂People forget that things change all the time,＂ he says. ＂My girls used to love pink when they were little, but as they get older, they change.＂ Turner explains that his twelve-year-old daughter never wears pink clothes anymore. ＂This love of pink is just a fashion and all fashions change,＂ he adds. ＂It’s only since the 1940s that people have stated dressing girls in pink-before that it was a color for boys.＂‎ ‎12.

B【解析】主旨大意题。这个题目考查文章结构，根据文意可知，短文第一段提出了问题，第二段和第三段分别介绍了担心粉色对女孩不好的一些人和一些家长的看法；第四段则提出了反面的观点，即觉得粉色没有什么不好的这样的家长的看法。由此可知B选项符合文章的逻辑，故选B。‎ ‎13.

I’m worried that pink will not help them with that,＂ she says.可知，Vanessa想让自己的女儿强壮、有力，但她担心粉色不能帮助女儿们那样。因此that代指的是上句话中提到的strong and powerful，故应选B。‎ ‎14.
