Spring is a time when the land wakes up from its long sleep, and the fields are ready for crops (庄稼). If you are lazy in spring, you will get nothing in autumn. So, farmers seem to compete with time in spring. When I was a little girl, every weekend I was busy planting crops. Whatever it was, I had fun and learned a lot. For example, when we planted potatoes, we needed to cut the sprouted (发芽的) potatoes into pieces and made sure every piece of “seed” (种子) had one or two sprouts. It was really like a math game. Farm work is also teamwork. That’s why every spring field is busy with people of all ages working in it. While planting beans, my father dug small holes, and I carefully put some seeds into each hole. The work was hard and boring, but when we worked together, it seemed easier and more interesting. I felt magic of life in spring as well. In a few weeks, the seeds sprouted, encouraging us to care for them by watering and so on. As time went by, they grew into healthy plants. Because of these wonderful childhood experiences, I hold such a special feeling for spring. 1． is the best season to plant crops.（仅填1词） 2．If you don’t work hard in spring, you will .（不超过5词） 3．Fill in the blanks according to the passage.

Many of our animal friends may not be around for much longer, however, and many of them are in great danger. According to a study, the populations of animals including mammals (哺乳动物), birds and fish have fallen by an average of 60 percent since 1970. What’s worse, a study in 2014 found that species (物种) are dying out 1,000 times faster than normal. Sadly, it is because of humans that animals are in this situation now. By increasing human development, we may end up seriously harming the environment on which animals live and depend. Human development has caused pollution in oceans and three quarters of the world’s land to be affected (影响). The balance between animals and their ecosystems has been greatly harmed by humans. Luckily, many people have realized that our action in fact does harm to animals, risking our own lives as a result, so effective steps have been quickly taken to save both these endangered animals as well as ourselves. The World Wildlife Fund has called on governments and businesses to protect nature. In China, many natural reserves (保护区) have been built up and harmful behavior such as selling rhino horns (犀牛角), tiger bones and ivory has been banned (禁止). People have been taking steps in the right direction, which is encouraging news. The numbers of many animals have increased. The protection of animals still has a long way to go. In the end, to protect animals is to protect ourselves, and we should spare no effort toward living in harmony (和谐) with nature. 5．What do humans share with wildlife according to the passage? 6．In paragraph 2, how many studies are mentioned about the danger wildlife is in? 7．Who is responsible for the current (目前的) situation? 8．What has China done to save the endangered wildlife? 9．What is the writer’s purpose of writing the passage? （三） （2023·湖北十堰·中考真题）Pound was a famous professor of Law College of Harvard.

It would take him an hour to do so, but he insisted (坚持) because it made him get a sense of success. I admired him. He not only made great achievements in his field, but also came up with creative teaching methods to inspire students.” One day, a student got out of the professor’s office with a lot of books. He complained (抱怨), “He always answers my questions with just a yes or ①______. At the same time, he always gives me too many books and advises me to read them again and again.

He explained to him patiently. “This is the method I have learnt—the harder you work independently, the better solutions you will get. If you can make full use of the books, you will probably become a good lawyer.” He believed “Teaching people to fish is better than giving them fish”. Ten years later, the student became a well-known lawyer. When he returned to Law College of Harvard, he met the professor again. He thanked the professor.

When the babies see the keepers, they run over to them with excitement and some of the young pandas even walk into their friends and fall over! Lin Wei, one of the panda keepers, says, “They’re so cute and lovely. I take care of them like they’re my own babies. I wash, feed and play with them every day. They’re very special to me.” In fact, many people around the world love these black and white animals. Pandas have become so popular that they are now a symbol of China. Scientists say there are now fewer than 2,000 pandas living in the forests. Another 300 or so live in zoos or research centers in China and other countries. Pandas do not have many babies, maybe only one every two years. The babies often die from sicknesses and do not live very long. Adult pandas spend more than 12 hours a day eating about 10 kilos of bamboo. Many years ago, there were a lot more bamboo forests and pandas in China, but then humans started to cut down these forests. As the forests get smaller and other human activities cause more problems, pandas cannot find enough to eat and they are having fewer babies. An education program in Chengdu teaches children about pandas and other endangered wild animals. They send people to schools to tell children about the importance of saving these animals. And the Chinese government is trying hard to help save the pandas. Scientists are doing research to better understand the habits of pandas. We all hope that in the future there will be a lot more pandas. 15．Baby pandas for breakfast. 16．In fact, pandas have become so that they are now a of China. 17．What does the underlined word “sicknesses” mean in English? 18．How many pandas are there in the forests now? 19．What is the passage mainly about? （五） （2022·湖北黄石·中考真题）阅读短文，回答问题。 Living in a community, people depend on each other and help each other.

Since it is an important time for the harvest (收获) of summer plants, ancient Chinese emperors in different dynasties paid special attention to it. In the Zhou Dynasty (1050-221 BC), the emperor led his officers to celebrate the Start of Summer and encouraged his people to do farm work in time. Everything, including the emperor’s and the officers’ dress, the horses and the flags, was decorated (装饰) in the color red, in order to show respect to the god of summer and hope for a good harvest. One of the most interesting customs (风俗) is weighing people at the Start of Summer. It began to be celebrated from the Three Kingdoms Period (220-180) and is getting popular in South China today. It was believed that this custom would bring heath and good luck to the people who were weighed. After lunch on the day of Start of Summer, the young and old took turns to get weighed while receiving good wishes from the people around him. It is said that those who were weighed would stay healthy in the hot summer and that those who weren’t would get back sooner or later.

Flood water from the mountains flowed (流动) down the Minjiang River and covered the land. Luckily, the Qin governor (太守), Li Bing, was a water engineer. The king of Qin provided the money and asked the governor to solve the problem. The usual method to avoid flooding is to build a wall across the river, called a dam. Special openings in the dam allow the flow of water to be controlled. However, the king had also asked Li Bing to make sure that ships could still use the river. This was necessary because the king needed to send food to his army. So Li Bing studied the situation and came up with a plan—a plan that still works today! Helped by his son, and tens of thousands of workers from the area, Li Bing built a man-made island in the middle of the river. This island was shaped like a fish and it divided the water into an inner and an outer river. The inner river was deeper than but not as wide as the outer river. It took four years to build the island. Li Bing also cut a new channel (运河) through Mount Yulei. This channel would take water away to irrigate (灌溉) the land in the flat farmland below. The rock of the mountain was very hard and difficult to cut. Li Bing used fire to heat the rock and then water to cool it quickly. This made the rock break into smaller pieces which could be carried away more easily. Cutting the channel took eight years! After Li Bing’s work was finished, there were no more floods, and the Dujiangyan irrigation system (灌溉系统) allowed the farmers to grow more and more food. The river flowed naturally, and because there was no dam, ships and fish could pass freely. Sichuan became the most productive area in China, as it still is today. Today, scientists and visitors from all over the world come to look at this wonderful example of engineering. This work and the name of Li Bing live on. 44．What was Li Bing’s job?（答题词数不超过11个） 45．Why did the king ask Li Bing to make sure that ships could still use the river?（答题词数不超过10个） 46．How long did it take Li Bing to cut a new channel?（答题词数不超过5个） 47．What does the writer think of the Dujiangyan irrigation system?（答题词数不超过12个） （一） （2024·湖北咸宁·二模）阅读短文，用英文填空或回答问题（请注意每小题的词数要求）。 People have a lot of ways to relax.

Well, Sanfu days, also known as the Chinese dog days of summer, mark the hottest days of summer. Sanfu days refer to three periods: Toufu, Zhongfu and Mofu. In Chinese, “fu” has the meaning of “hiding”. So the word is also a suggestion for people to stay at home to “hide” from the strong heat outdoors in summer. Sanfu days usually come between mid-July and mid-August. During this time, people follow different customs to deal with the heat and stay healthy. Now let’s have a look at some traditional Chinese ways of spending the dog days of summer. In Changsha, local people usually eat roosters (公鸡) during Sanfu days, especially during Toufu. That’s because it is always hot with heavy rainfall in summer. Local people believe that eating roosters can clear the wet in the body. And there is even an old saying that goes, “A rooster at the start of Sanfu days, a healthy body the whole year.” Besides, the practice of receiving Sanfutie, a kind of Sanfu medicinal patch (药用贴片), is also common in China during Sanfu days. Sanfutie is a bandage made of traditional Chinese herbal medicine (中草药). Many people receive Sanfutie because it’s believed that doing so during the hottest summer days is helpful in fighting some winter illnesses like coughing. 46．What days are the hottest of summer? （5个单词以内） 47．According to the passage, fill in the form.（每空5个单词以内） Days meaning time Sanfu Days (1) (2) 48．The people in Changsha often to deal with the heat.（10个单词以内） 49．What is Sanfutie used for? （10个单词以内） 50．What will you do with the heat and stay healthy?

Spring is a time when the land wakes up from its long sleep, and the fields are ready for crops (庄稼). If you are lazy in spring, you will get nothing in autumn. So, farmers seem to compete with time in spring. When I was a little girl, every weekend I was busy planting crops. Whatever it was, I had fun and learned a lot. For example, when we planted potatoes, we needed to cut the sprouted (发芽的) potatoes into pieces and made sure every piece of “seed” (种子) had one or two sprouts. It was really like a math game. Farm work is also teamwork. That’s why every spring field is busy with people of all ages working in it. While planting beans, my father dug small holes, and I carefully put some seeds into each hole. The work was hard and boring, but when we worked together, it seemed easier and more interesting. I felt magic of life in spring as well. In a few weeks, the seeds sprouted, encouraging us to care for them by watering and so on. As time went by, they grew into healthy plants.

Many of our animal friends may not be around for much longer, however, and many of them are in great danger. According to a study, the populations of animals including mammals (哺乳动物), birds and fish have fallen by an average of 60 percent since 1970. What’s worse, a study in 2014 found that species (物种) are dying out 1,000 times faster than normal. Sadly, it is because of humans that animals are in this situation now. By increasing human development, we may end up seriously harming the environment on which animals live and depend. Human development has caused pollution in oceans and three quarters of the world’s land to be affected (影响). The balance between animals and their ecosystems has been greatly harmed by humans. Luckily, many people have realized that our action in fact does harm to animals, risking our own lives as a result, so effective steps have been quickly taken to save both these endangered animals as well as ourselves. The World Wildlife Fund has called on governments and businesses to protect nature. In China, many natural reserves (保护区) have been built up and harmful behavior such as selling rhino horns (犀牛角), tiger bones and ivory has been banned (禁止). People have been taking steps in the right direction, which is encouraging news. The numbers of many animals have increased. The protection of animals still has a long way to go. In the end, to protect animals is to protect ourselves, and we should spare no effort toward living in harmony (和谐) with nature. 5．What do humans share with wildlife according to the passage? 6．In paragraph 2, how many studies are mentioned about the danger wildlife is in? 7．Who is responsible for the current (目前的) situation? 8．What has China done to save the endangered wildlife? 9．What is the writer’s purpose of writing the passage? 【参考答案】 5． Sharing the Earth. 6． Two. 7． Humans. 8． In China, many natural reserves have been built up and harmful behavior such as selling rhino horns, tiger bones and ivory has been banned. 9． To tell/call on people to protect animals and live in harmony with nature. 【语篇解读】 本文主要介绍了人类的活动造成了野生动物的数量在减少，作者号召人们保护动物，与自然和谐相处。 【详情解析】 5．根据“Humans share the Earth with all kinds of wildlife”可知人类与各种野生动物共享地球。故填Sharing the Earth. 6．根据“According to a study...What’s worse, a study in 2014”可知此处提到了两个研究。故填Two. 7．根据“Sadly, it is because of humans that animals are in this situation now”可知正是因为人类，动物现在才处于这种境地。故填Humans. 8．根据“In China, many natural reserves (保护区) have been built up and harmful behavior such as selling rhino horns (犀牛角), tiger bones and ivory has been banned (禁止).”可知在中国，已经建立了许多自然保护区，并禁止出售犀牛角、虎骨和象牙等有害行为。故填In China, many natural reserves have been built up and harmful behavior such as selling rhino horns, tiger bones and ivory has been banned. 9．通读全文可知，本文主要介绍了人类的活动造成了野生动物的数量在减少，作者号召人们保护动物，与自然和谐相处。故填To tell/call on people to protect animals and live in harmony with nature. （三） （2023·湖北十堰·中考真题）Pound was a famous professor of Law College of Harvard.

He complained (抱怨), “He always answers my questions with just a yes or ①______. At the same time, he always gives me too many books and advises me to read them again and again.

Flood water from the mountains flowed (流动) down the Minjiang River and covered the land. Luckily, the Qin governor (太守), Li Bing, was a water engineer. The king of Qin provided the money and asked the governor to solve the problem. The usual method to avoid flooding is to build a wall across the river, called a dam. Special openings in the dam allow the flow of water to be controlled. However, the king had also asked Li Bing to make sure that ships could still use the river. This was necessary because the king needed to send food to his army. So Li Bing studied the situation and came up with a plan—a plan that still works today! Helped by his son, and tens of thousands of workers from the area, Li Bing built a man-made island in the middle of the river. This island was shaped like a fish and it divided the water into an inner and an outer river. The inner river was deeper than but not as wide as the outer river. It took four years to build the island. Li Bing also cut a new channel (运河) through Mount Yulei. This channel would take water away to irrigate (灌溉) the land in the flat farmland below. The rock of the mountain was very hard and difficult to cut. Li Bing used fire to heat the rock and then water to cool it quickly. This made the rock break into smaller pieces which could be carried away more easily. Cutting the channel took eight years! After Li Bing’s work was finished, there were no more floods, and the Dujiangyan irrigation system (灌溉系统) allowed the farmers to grow more and more food. The river flowed naturally, and because there was no dam, ships and fish could pass freely. Sichuan became the most productive area in China, as it still is today. Today, scientists and visitors from all over the world come to look at this wonderful example of engineering. This work and the name of Li Bing live on. 44．What was Li Bing’s job?（答题词数不超过11个） 45．Why did the king ask Li Bing to make sure that ships could still use the river?（答题词数不超过10个） 46．How long did it take Li Bing to cut a new channel?（答题词数不超过5个） 47．What does the writer think of the Dujiangyan irrigation system?（答题词数不超过12个） 【参考答案】 44． He, the Qin governor, was a water engineer./He was a governor, a water engineer./A water engineer./A governor. 45． Because the king needed to send food to his army./To send food to his army. 46． Eight (8) years. 47． The writer thinks it is a wonderful example of (water) engineering./A wonderful (great) example of engineering./It’s wonderful(great)./Wonderful(Great). 【语篇解读】 本文主要介绍了都江堰的灌溉系统是如何来的。 【详情解析】 44．根据“Luckily, the Qin governor (太守), Li Bing, was a water engineer. ”可知，他是秦国的太守，是水利工程师。故填He, the Qin governor, was a water engineer./He was a governor, a water engineer./A water engineer./A governor. 45．根据“This was necessary because the king needed to send food to his army. ”可知，因为国王需要给他的军队运送食物。故填Because the king needed to send food to his army./To send food to his army. 46．根据“Cutting the channel took eight years!”可知，他花了8年时间开辟了一个新运河。故填Eight (8) years. 47．根据“Today, scientists and visitors from all over the world come to look at this wonderful example of engineering.”可知，作者认为都江堰的灌溉系统/很棒/是水利工程的精彩实例。故填The writer thinks it is a wonderful example of (water) engineering./A wonderful (great) example of engineering./It’s wonderful(great)./Wonderful(Great). （一） （2024·湖北咸宁·二模）阅读短文，用英文填空或回答问题（请注意每小题的词数要求）。 People have a lot of ways to relax.

For example, type in “A man fights a dragon with magic fire, Greg Rutkowski.” The program will then produce something similar to Rutkowski’s own works. Some of these pictures have been taken from art shopping websites. This is often done without the knowledge of their artists. And artists like Rutkowski have had enough. At first, Rutkowski was surprised by his popularity in the AI world. However, when he searched for his name on the internet, the results showed him plenty of artworks that looked like his but weren’t.
