The answer is dye （染料） . The clothes we wear today are mainly dyed with chemicals （化学物质） . But in the past, people did this by hand-and the dyes often came from plants. With a history of more than 1,000 years, tie-dye （扎染） is a very old way of dyeing clothes in China. During Tang and Song dynasties （朝代）, this skill became so popular that people gave tie-dyed clothes to the emperor as gifts. To tie-dye, you first need to use threads （线） to tie your cloth together. Then put the cloth into the dye. As the cloth is folded and dyed, some parts become dark blue, while other parts have a lighter color. When you spread the cloth, you’ll see beautiful patterns. Yang Cheng, 52, is the inheritor （传承人） of tie-dye in Anning, Yunnan. He learned the skill from his mother in the 1980s. Yang has mastered （掌握） all the old skills of tie-dye. And he has handed them down to his daughter. At the same time, Yang has studied tie-dye in other countries, such as Japan, India and France. He also tries to make some creative designs. Now, Yang teaches tie-dye in schools and communities. More than 100, 000 people have learned from him. Some might worry that tie-dye will be replaced by machinery dyeing. But Yang is confident. “At the end of the day, machines can’t replace our creative hands,” said Yang. 31. The first paragraph is written to ________.

Human beings have been making fires for tens of thousands of years. Nowadays lots of people seem to have forgotten how to do it. The best way to learn is to ask someone to teach you. The RULES are as follows. Make sure you have permission (许可) from the people who own the land you are on. Next, gather everything you need for the first half hour of fire burning. You will need tinder, kindling sticks (火柴) and fat sticks. Tinder is something really dry that is easy to light. Paper is good, or handfuls of really dry grass, or bark (树皮) from trees. Kindling is a handful of tiny sticks. Make a safe space for the fire to be in. A circle of stones is good. Then make a pile of tinder and light it with a match and the help of a grown-up. Add bits of kindling slowly, being careful not to burn yourself. Carefully add larger and larger sticks until you have some fire. And remember, the wise person builds a small fire and keeps warm. The unwise person builds a large fire and keeps finding wood for it. Or, because this is a book about pets, maybe that should be: The cat builds a small fire and keeps warm. The dog builds a large fire and keeps finding wood. Be warned: as soon as you light a fire, a dog will appear from nowhere and get in front of it. They just can’t help it. 14. Where may this passage be from? A. A shopping website. B. A pet book. C. A fashion magazine. D. An activity poster. 15. Which of the following can be tinder? A. B. C. D. 16.

The Games are very “smart” thanks to the use of many exciting technologies(技术). The place for the tennis finals is sometimes called the “Small Lotus (莲花)”. On the top of the stadium (体育场), there are eight “petals” (花瓣). Each petal weighs 160 tons. They can open and close freely. It takes 15 minutes for each petal to open and close. It’s built this way for different kinds of weather. What if there’s an accident during the game and the athletes need first aid (急救)? Drones (无人机) can be used to send things over. They can fly as far as 20 kilometers and travel 16 meters in one second. Every dish at the Asian Games should be safe and healthy to eat. In the kitchen of the athletes’ village in Hangzhou, there is a special system that can tell people’s faces. If a “stranger” goes into the kitchen, an alarm (警报器) will go off (突然响起) to let people know. Do you want to walk around at the stadiums but can’t make it in person? You can try the Hangzhou Asian Games’ metaverse (元宇宙)! You can try it with an app on Alipay (支付宝). Inside, it’s like an online cartoon world. You can enjoy the charm (魅力) of the stadiums both from the outside and inside. It will be sad if you can’t find your way. Augmented-reality (增强现实技术) is here to help. There’s a mini-program called the Hangzhou Asian Games AR service. You can simply turn on your phone’s camera, and it will see where you are and then show you the way. 48. What is the “Small Lotus” designed for? A. Making the stadium hold more people. B. Dealing with different weather conditions. C. Presenting the timetable for sporting events. D.

Athletes’ Village for the Hangzhou Asian Games C. Technologies Shine at the Hangzhou Asian Games D. Special Ways to Watch the Hangzhou Asian Games 【答案】48. B 49. D 50. C 【解析】 【导语】本文介绍了杭州亚运会期间的“智能化”设施。 【48题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段“It’s built this way for different kinds of weather.”可知，Small Lotus的设计是为了应对不同的天气条件。因此，选项B“Dealing with different weather conditions.”（应对不同的天气条件）是正确的。故选B。 【49题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“Each petal weighs 160 tons.”可知，体育场顶部的八片花瓣每片重160吨，所以a选项描述正确。根据第三段“Drones can be used to send things over if there’s an accident during the game and the athletes need first aid.”可知，如果运动员在比赛中受伤需要急救，无人机可以运送物品，所以b选项描述正确。根据第一段“Hangzhou hosts the 19th Asian Games from September 23rd to October 8th, 2023.”可知，杭州亚运会的举办时间是2023年，而不是2022年，所以c选项描述错误。根据第四段“You can try it with an app on Alipay.”和第五段描述可知，通过支付宝的应用可以体验体育场的魅力，所以d选项描述正确。综上，选项D中的c是不正确的描述。故选D。 【50题详解】 最佳标题题。全文主要围绕杭州亚运会中使用的多种先进技术进行介绍，包括体育场的独特设计、无人机的应用、食品安全系统、元宇宙体验和增强现实技术导航等，这些技术共同展现了亚运会的“智能”特色。因此，最符合文章主题的标题是C选项“Technologies Shine at the Hangzhou Asian Games”。故选C。 9、2024·苏州市四市联考·期中卷 Do you do team projects at school?

But recently, the “seafood” produced in these places has become popular, especially after Japan put nuclear- contaminated water (核污染水) into the sea. In Nilka county (尼勒克县) in Xinjiang, about 6,000 tons of rainbow trout (虹鳟鱼) will be produced this year. Rainbow trout belongs to the same family as salmon (鲑鱼), which is a kind of well-known seafood. It tastes like salmon too. Why do farmers there choose to grow fish? The weather in some parts of Xinjiang is seldom hot, and the rivers are fed by meltwater (融水) from the Tianshan Mountains. Water deeper than 6 meters always stays at 10 ℃. As the meltwater is very clean and cold, it’s a “comfortable” home for fish, Li Chunyu, a worker at a fish company said. To make sure the river stays clean, the company uses machines to clean fish waste in the water. They also use net cages (网箱) hat are good for the environment. The nets are about 51 meters wide and lie 25 meters deep in the river. Meanwhile, in Inner Mongolia, whiteleg shrimp (南美白对虾) grows well. Saline soil (盐碱土) covers a large part of the desert where few plants are able to grow. Farmers used to put water from the Yellow River onto the farmland to wash away the salt. This was a waste of salty water. Scientists then decided to create “seawater” with the salty water by adding in some other components (成分). Whiteleg shrimps can live well in this kind of water.

They had blanket packs on their backs. They had guns, but no bullets (子弹), matches, but no food over 48 hours. Suddenly the man who followed fell over a stone. He hurt his foot badly and called: “Hey, Bill, I’ve hurt my foot.” Bill continued straight on without looking back. The man was alone in the empty land, but he was not lost. He knew the way to their camp, where he would find food and bullets. He struggled (挣扎) to his feet and went on. Bill would be waiting for him there, and together they would go south to the Hudson Bay Company. He had not eaten for two days. Often he stopped to pick some small berries and put them into his mouth. The berries were tasteless, but he knew he must eat them. In the evening, he built a fire and slept like a dead man. When he woke up, the man took out a small bag. It weighed fifteen pounds. He wasn’t sure if he could carry it any longer. But he couldn’t leave it behind. He had to take it with him. He put it back into his pack, rose to his feet and walked on slowly. His foot hurt, but it was nothing compared with his hunger, which made him go on until darkness fell. His blanket was wet, but he knew only that he was hungry. Through his restless sleep he dreamed of food. The man woke up cold and sick, and found himself lost. But the small bag was still with him. As he dragged (拖) himself along, the bag became heavier and heavier. The man opened the bag, which was full of small pieces of gold. He left half the gold on a rock. Eleven days passed, days of rain and cold. One day he found the bones of a deer. There was no meat on them. The man broke the bones and he ate them like an animal. Would he, too, be bones tomorrow? And why not? This was life. Only life hurt. There was no hurt in death. To die was to sleep. Then why was he not ready to die? He, as a man, no longer strove. It was the life in him, unwilling to die, that drove him on. One morning he woke up beside a river. Slowly he followed it with his eyes and saw it entering into a shining sea. When he saw a ship on the sea, he closed his eyes. He knew there could be no ship, no sea, in this land. A vision, he told himself. He heard a noise behind him, and turned around. A wolf, old and sick, was coming slowly toward him. This was real, he thought. The man turned back, but the sea and the ship were still there. He didn’t understand. Had he been walking north, away from the camp, toward the sea? He started slowly toward the ship, knowing full well the sick wolf was following him. In the afternoon, he found some bones of a man. Beside the bones was a small bag of gold, like his own. So Bill had carried his gold to the end. He would carry Bill’s gold to the ship. Ha—ha! He would have the last laugh at Bill. His laughing sounded like the low cry of an animal. The wolf cried back. The man stopped suddenly and turned away. How could he laugh at Bill’s bones and take his gold? (Taken from Love of Life) 51.

Actually, this kind of noise is called coloured noise, such as white noise, pink noise, and brown noise. Coloured noise contains a wide range of frequencies. However, it shows stronger intensity at certain frequencies. For example, violet noise has stronger intensity at higher frequencies. Brown noise produces deeper sounds such as heavy rainfall, because it shows stronger intensity at lower frequencies. White noise has equal intensity across all frequencies. Typical examples of white noise are the noise made by fans, and natural sounds like gently running water. Pink noise is similar to white noise but has stronger intensity at lower frequencies. There have been several experiments on the effect that noise has on people. In a 2021 study, 10 people in New York City affected by loud environmental noise showed improved sleep quality and sleep duration when white noise was played. Another sleep study showed that 16 adults actually improved their memory of vocabulary after listening to pink noise in their sleep, though the effect of pink noise on sleep quality wasn’t measured. Some people suggest that brown noise is the best noise for their sleep. However, no studies have proven it. So why do some people claim to sleep better with certain coloured noise? There are some theories that can explain it. One is about sound masking, and it shows that white noise masks other sounds of noise, resulting in better sleep. Another theory is that this sleep-aid effect could be an example of classical conditioning. For example, people who sleep better with brown noise may have conditioned themselves over time to fall asleep when they hear it. Every coloured noise has its benefits. It is your personal choice to decide which coloured noise is the best for you to get a good sleep! 34. According to the passage, coloured noise . A. shows similar intensity B. is mainly created by people C. has different frequencies D. is harmful to people’s health 35. Which of the following is right for the frequencies of coloured noise? A. B. C. D. 36. What can we learn from the passage? A. White noise is helpful for people to improve memory. B. The effect of pink noise on sleep quality has been proved. C. People may sleep better with brown noise if they get used to it. D. People can’t decide which coloured noise to play for their sleep. 37. What’s the best title for the passage? A. Coloured Noise: A Good Helper for Your Sleep B. Coloured Noise: A Creative Idea to Study Sounds C. Coloured Noise: A New Way to Improve Memory D. Coloured Noise: A Smart Choice for Your Health 15、2024·无锡市新吴区新一教育集团·期中卷 Like most teachers, on the very first day of school, Mrs. Black told her students she was kind and she loved them all the same.

Already it had cost the lives of seventeen men from the Hispaniola. And how many others? How many ships had gone to the bottom of the sea? How many brave men had been killed for this? Perhaps no man alive could tell from view, and I had never felt happier to leave a place behind. Next morning, we moved all the gold to the beach. Then we took it by boat to the Hispaniola. It was a big job for so small a number of men. Then at last, one sunny morning, we sailed out of North Inlet and towards the nearest port (港口) in Spanish America. Before afternoon, Treasure Island had gone The sun was going down when we sailed into the port, and the doctor and Mr. Trelawney took me to the beach. When we came back, Ben Gunn was waiting for us. “Silver has gone,”he told us,“but not empty-handed. He’s taken one of the bags of coins perhaps worth three or four hundred guineas.” I think we were all pleased to lose the bad man at so small a price. We found some sailors for the ship at the port, and then had a good journey home. Only five of the men who had sailed from Bristol with the Hispaniola returned with her. We all took a large piece of the treasure. Some used it wisely, but some did not. Captain Smollett no longer goes to sea. Gray saved his money and now is a half-owner and captain of a fine ship. Ben Gunn got a thousand pounds which he spent or lost in three weeks, then he came begging and was given a job as a gatekeeper. Of Silver we have heard no more. That scary sea man with one leg has gone out of my life. I will never return to Treasure Island, but in my worst dreams I still hear the sharp, high cries of Captain Flint the parrot, “Pieces of eight! Pieces of eight!” 31.

Every morning, I noticed fresh air coming into the rooms and I knew that the Nautilus had surfaced (浮出水面). I would go out and see the sunrise. Then I received a note from Captain Nemo. He invited me and my friends to go hunting with him in the forests of Crespo Island. Ned was excited because he thought there he could find a chance to escape. When I saw Captain Nemo the next day, I asked him why he was so interested in Crespo Island. “I thought you preferred the sea to being on land.” “I do,” replied the Captain. “But these forests are under the sea.” During breakfast, he explained that he had made diving suits (潜水服) that used special air tanks. These tanks would allow us to stay under the water for ten hours. He had also made lights that worked in electric batteries. When Ned realized that we were not going onto land for our hunting trip, he decided not to come at all. Conseil and I put on our diving suits, and so did Captain Nemo and one of his men. We stepped into a room and closed the door. The room was filled with water, and another door opened. We must go through it, and we were in the sea floor. It was an amazing experience. We were about ten metres under the water. The light from the sun reached us. Everything looked very colourful. We walked over the fine sand and enjoyed the colours of the shells, fish and seaweed. Conseil and I followed Captain Nemo and his man as they crossed a large grassy area. We were going deeper and deeper. Two hours later, we were a hundred metres under the water. The suits worked very well, and it was easy to walk and breathe. At one hundred metres deep, we could still see quite well, and Captain Nemo stopped and pointed to some dark shapes. This was the forest. The “trees” in the forest were giant seaweed, and all their branches were vertical (垂直的). We could not stop looking at them. Fish swam around the branches like birds in a forest. Small shrubs (灌木) grew under the large seaweed trees. Some of them had flowers. We walked through this forest for about an hour, and then we lay down to rest. I was not hungry, but I was very sleepy. We all slept, and when we woke up, we walked further. (—Adapted from Twenty Thousand Leagues Under The Sea) 51. What do you think the Nautilus is? A. A kind of transport on land. B. A kind of plane in the sky. C. A kind of fish in the sea. D. A kind of ship under the sea. 52. ________ didn’t go hunting with others in the forests of Crespo Island under the water. A. Conseil B.

The passage is probably taken from ________. A. a science fiction B. a book review C. a sports magazine D. a travel report 19、2024·扬州市广陵区统考·期中卷 Recently, the topic about ChatGPT is quite hot. It was released(发布) by a company called OpenAI last year. Is ChatGPT going to change the world? Let’s learn what exactly it is. What is ChatGPT? ChatGPT is a computer program that can understand and reply to human language. It can be used for things like having a conversation or finishing a sentence. Even this sentence that you are reading now was written by ChatGPT. That’s right — I asked ChatGPT to write a paragraph including a basic explanation of ChatGPT in simple terms and it came up with that explanation of itself on its own. What’s amazing is that it seems to be a human in its ability to understand questions and answer them well. “Write a story about Boris Johnson in the style of Roald Dahl,” you can ask it, and it’ll show you a pretty good children’s story. “Write a list of reasons why London is better than New York,” and it’ll explain how London is more historic and has better public transport. One area where I’ve found it mostly useful is that it can write computer code(代码). Unlike the English language, when you write code, it has to be very exact and carefully structured — but when I asked ChatGPT to write me a program that would put some data into a database(数据库) for me, within seconds it showed something that would have taken me hours to do manually. ____▲_____ It isn’t, however, completely human-like. For example, it sometimes shows things that sound true, but are just nonsense. And it can’t do maths. Though it is better at some tasks than others, its ability to rhyme still needs to be improved. It doesn’t replace(取代) the human completely, but it does many things quicker. In the same way, it’s easy to imagine in the future every time we write something, we may have an unbelievably smart AI helper helping us get started. So I completely believe that ChatGPT — or something like it — is going to change the world. Our computers will no longer be just a machine, but our partner too. So, maybe now you have to worry about whether you can keep your job. 42. Which of the following is NOT true about ChatGPT? A. It can write a computer program within several seconds. B. It is released by a company called OpenAI last year. C. It’ll replace the human completely in the future in all fields. D. It’s a computer program that can understand human’s language. 43. How does the writer develop the part of “What is ChatGPT?”? A. By giving examples. B. By listing numbers. C. By making charts. D. By asking questions. 44. Which of the following can be the subtitle(小标题) in the ___ ▲____ part? A. The advantages of ChatGPT B. The limitations of ChatGPT C. The introductions of ChatGPT D. The purposes of ChatGPT 45. What might the writer continue to write at the end of the passage? A. The risks ChatGPT brings to our job. B. The influences ChatGPT has on our bodies. C. The reasons why we refuse to use ChatGPT. D. The problems we may face while using ChatGPT. 20、2024·扬州市树人学校·期中卷 China and India are leaders in improving global tree cover, a new study based on NASA research showed. They took a 31.8 percent part together of the total global new leaf area between 2000 and 2017. China played a major role, adding 25 percent to this increase, and India added 6.8 percent, followed by Canada and Russia. The study in the Nature Sustainability journal shows that more than 5.5 million square kilometers of green leaf area was added globally. Since 2000, there has been a 5 percent increase in global green cover, it said. “The greening over the last twenty years shows an increase in leaf area on plants and trees which is as large as the area of the entire Amazon rainforest,” Chi Chen, a Boston University researcher and leader of the study told Nature Sustainability. Large plantation activities to protect forests in China contributed nearly 42 percent to the country’s green cover, and agriculture(农业) added another 32 percent. In India, 82 percent of the increase in leaf area was because of agriculture. “China and India take up one-third of the greening, but hold only nine percent of the planet’s land area covered in green plants,” Chi Chen told NASA Earth Observatory. “That is a surprising finding, considering the land degradation(退化) in countries with large populations.” Boston University’s research team first detected an increase in global green cover in the 1990s but were unsure what contributed to the increase. Finally, with the help of NASA’s Terra and Aqua satellites research, they managed to find out the increase in leaf cover from different areas and places. 62. Which country contributed to the largest increase in the global new leaf area? A. China. B. India. C. Russia. D. Canada. 63. For what purpose did the author mention the Amazon rainforest? A. To show the major role of rainforest. B. To explain the reason for developing agriculture. C. To describe the difficulty in protecting forests. D. To show the great increase in global green cover. 64. What did Chi Chen think of the new finding? A. Worrying. B. Interesting. C. Unexpected. D. Meaningless. 65. What does the underlined word “detected” probably mean? A. Imagined. B. Discovered. C. Studied. D. Doubted. 2 原创精品资源学科网独家享有版权，侵权必究！ 7 原创精品资源学科网独家享有版权，侵权必究！ 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 专题08 阅读理解（三大体裁全掌握，20篇） 选 题 来 源 1、2024·常州市第二十四中学·期中卷 2、2024·常州市实验初级中学·期中卷 3、2024·淮安市清江浦区统考·期中卷 4、2024·南京市鼓楼区统考·期中卷 5、2024·南通市海门区东洲国际学校·期中卷 6、2024·南通市海门四校联考·期中卷 7、2024·苏州市高新区统考·期中卷 8、2024·无锡市锡山区锡东片·期中卷 9、2024·苏州市四市联考·期中卷 10、2024·苏州市园区八校联考·期中卷 11、2024·宿迁市沭阳如东实验学校·期中卷 12、2024·宿迁市钟吾初级中学·期中卷 13、2024·无锡市惠山区统考·期中卷 14、2024·无锡市积余教育集团·期中卷 15、2024·无锡市新吴区新一教育集团·期中卷 16、2024·徐州市统考·期中卷 17、2024·盐城市大丰区·期中卷 18、2024·盐城市亭湖区五校联考·期中卷 19、2024·扬州市广陵区统考·期中卷 20、2024·扬州市树人学校·期中卷 1、2024·常州市第二十四中学·期中卷 Where do the colors of your clothes come from? The answer is dye （染料） . The clothes we wear today are mainly dyed with chemicals （化学物质） . But in the past, people did this by hand-and the dyes often came from plants. With a history of more than 1,000 years, tie-dye （扎染） is a very old way of dyeing clothes in China. During Tang and Song dynasties （朝代）, this skill became so popular that people gave tie-dyed clothes to the emperor as gifts. To tie-dye, you first need to use threads （线） to tie your cloth together. Then put the cloth into the dye. As the cloth is folded and dyed, some parts become dark blue, while other parts have a lighter color. When you spread the cloth, you’ll see beautiful patterns. Yang Cheng, 52, is the inheritor （传承人） of tie-dye in Anning, Yunnan. He learned the skill from his mother in the 1980s. Yang has mastered （掌握） all the old skills of tie-dye. And he has handed them down to his daughter. At the same time, Yang has studied tie-dye in other countries, such as Japan, India and France. He also tries to make some creative designs. Now, Yang teaches tie-dye in schools and communities. More than 100, 000 people have learned from him. Some might worry that tie-dye will be replaced by machinery dyeing. But Yang is confident. “At the end of the day, machines can’t replace our creative hands,” said Yang. 31. The first paragraph is written to ________.

You must not do any of this without the help of a grown-up. Human beings have been making fires for tens of thousands of years. Nowadays lots of people seem to have forgotten how to do it. The best way to learn is to ask someone to teach you. The RULES are as follows. Make sure you have permission (许可) from the people who own the land you are on. Next, gather everything you need for the first half hour of fire burning. You will need tinder, kindling sticks (火柴) and fat sticks. Tinder is something really dry that is easy to light. Paper is good, or handfuls of really dry grass, or bark (树皮) from trees. Kindling is a handful of tiny sticks. Make a safe space for the fire to be in. A circle of stones is good. Then make a pile of tinder and light it with a match and the help of a grown-up. Add bits of kindling slowly, being careful not to burn yourself. Carefully add larger and larger sticks until you have some fire. And remember, the wise person builds a small fire and keeps warm. The unwise person builds a large fire and keeps finding wood for it. Or, because this is a book about pets, maybe that should be: The cat builds a small fire and keeps warm. The dog builds a large fire and keeps finding wood. Be warned: as soon as you light a fire, a dog will appear from nowhere and get in front of it. They just can’t help it. 14. Where may this passage be from? A. A shopping website. B. A pet book. C.

The Games are very “smart” thanks to the use of many exciting technologies(技术). The place for the tennis finals is sometimes called the “Small Lotus (莲花)”. On the top of the stadium (体育场), there are eight “petals” (花瓣). Each petal weighs 160 tons. They can open and close freely. It takes 15 minutes for each petal to open and close. It’s built this way for different kinds of weather. What if there’s an accident during the game and the athletes need first aid (急救)? Drones (无人机) can be used to send things over. They can fly as far as 20 kilometers and travel 16 meters in one second. Every dish at the Asian Games should be safe and healthy to eat. In the kitchen of the athletes’ village in Hangzhou, there is a special system that can tell people’s faces. If a “stranger” goes into the kitchen, an alarm (警报器) will go off (突然响起) to let people know. Do you want to walk around at the stadiums but can’t make it in person? You can try the Hangzhou Asian Games’ metaverse (元宇宙)! You can try it with an app on Alipay (支付宝). Inside, it’s like an online cartoon world. You can enjoy the charm (魅力) of the stadiums both from the outside and inside. It will be sad if you can’t find your way. Augmented-reality (增强现实技术) is here to help.

But recently, the “seafood” produced in these places has become popular, especially after Japan put nuclear- contaminated water (核污染水) into the sea. In Nilka county (尼勒克县) in Xinjiang, about 6,000 tons of rainbow trout (虹鳟鱼) will be produced this year. Rainbow trout belongs to the same family as salmon (鲑鱼), which is a kind of well-known seafood. It tastes like salmon too. Why do farmers there choose to grow fish? The weather in some parts of Xinjiang is seldom hot, and the rivers are fed by meltwater (融水) from the Tianshan Mountains. Water deeper than 6 meters always stays at 10 ℃. As the meltwater is very clean and cold, it’s a “comfortable” home for fish, Li Chunyu, a worker at a fish company said. To make sure the river stays clean, the company uses machines to clean fish waste in the water. They also use net cages (网箱) hat are good for the environment. The nets are about 51 meters wide and lie 25 meters deep in the river. Meanwhile, in Inner Mongolia, whiteleg shrimp (南美白对虾) grows well. Saline soil (盐碱土) covers a large part of the desert where few plants are able to grow. Farmers used to put water from the Yellow River onto the farmland to wash away the salt. This was a waste of salty water. Scientists then decided to create “seawater” with the salty water by adding in some other components (成分). Whiteleg shrimps can live well in this kind of water. They taste no different from the same kind of shrimp that grows in the sea. 34. Rainbow trout comfortably live in ________. A. any open water area B. warm and clean rivers C. salty and warm oceans D. cold and clean rivers 35. People turn their eyes from Japan’s seafood to Xinjiang’s because ________. A. Xinjiang’s seafood is much tastier B. the sea environment is polluted C. people find a new ocean in Xinjiang D. Xinjiang produces all kinds of seafood 36.

What can you infer (推断) from the passage? A. Life will not be different without seafood. B. Japan shouldn’t let out nuclear-contaminated water. C. China won’t be short of fishery products. D. Xinjiang is rich in natural resources. 【答案】34. D 35. B 36. A 37. C 【解析】 【导语】本文主要讲述了新疆和内蒙古的“海鲜”很受欢迎，并且介绍了虹鳟鱼和南美白对虾的养殖方法。 【34题详解】 细节理解题。根据“As the meltwater is very clean and cold, it’s a ‘comfortable’ home for fish, Li Chunyu, a worker at a fish company said.”可知虹鳟鱼生活在干净寒冷的水中。故选D。 【35题详解】 细节理解题。根据“When you think of the sea, you may not think of Xinjiang or Inner Mongolia. But recently, the ‘seafood’ produced in these places has become popular, especially after Japan put nuclear-contaminated water into the sea.”可知是因为海洋环境受到污染。故选B。 【36题详解】 细节理解题。根据“To make sure the river stays clean, the company uses machines to clean fish waste in the water.”和“Scientists then decided to create ‘seawater’ with the salty water by adding in some other components...They taste no different from the same kind of shrimp that grows in the sea.”可知为避免养殖鱼类对水体造成污染，该公司使用机器清理水中的鱼粪，在固定水域养鱼。故选A。 【37题详解】 推理判断题。根据“In Nilka county in Xinjiang, about 6,000 tons of rainbow trout will be produced this year.”以及“Meanwhile, in Inner Mongolia, whiteleg shrimp grows well”可知，在新疆尼尔卡县，今年将生产约6000吨虹鳟，在内蒙古，南美白对虾生长良好，可推知中国不会缺少鱼类产品。故选C。 12、2024·宿迁市钟吾初级中学·期中卷 The 21-year-old student from the college of Special Education of Changchun University, Jilin Province, Zhan Junyi has been deaf since birth. But he has overcome great difficulties to achieve his dream of becoming a professional dancer, and is now able to hear music through an artificial cochlea(人工耳蜗). When he was 2, his parents took him to some training courses, and he learned to understand people by reading lips (嘴唇). During the slow and hard process, not only his parents but also some teachers from the training center offered great help to him. Thanks to their lasting efforts and help, Zhan had the chance to achieve as much as someone who can hear Zhan had an artificial cochlea implanted(移植)when he was 4 years old. Then he was able to better understand people with its help. In the summer of 2008, Zhan watched a dance show of Avalokiteshvara Bodhisattva(千手观音)by the China Disabled People’s Performing Art Troupe(剧团)at the closing ceremony of the Beijing 2008 Paralympic Games(残奥会)on TV. Deeply moved by their excellent skill and energy, he began to watch videos of performances and competitions, learned to copy the movements and dreamed of becoming a dancer like them. After graduating from primary school in 2015, Zhan passed the exam for the troupe and began to learn dance with the other members. To help him keep up, his teacher repeatedly played the drum and told him where the beats and rhythm(节奏)points were. Then, the teacher also guided him by using sign language. What’s more, as his artificial cochlea could easily fall out, he had to wear a headband to help keep it in. Through lasting efforts and hard work, Zhan came to be perfect at dancing and entered Changchun University to study dance in 2021. In recent years, Zhan has built up lots of experience performing at events such as the opening and closing ceremonies of the Beijing 2022 Winter Paralympic Games and the 2023 Spring Festival Gala(春晚). After he graduates, Zhan wants to return to the troupe and become a national-level dancer. He hopes to help other children like him to learn how to dance and feel its joy. 37.

They had blanket packs on their backs. They had guns, but no bullets (子弹), matches, but no food over 48 hours. Suddenly the man who followed fell over a stone. He hurt his foot badly and called: “Hey, Bill, I’ve hurt my foot.” Bill continued straight on without looking back. The man was alone in the empty land, but he was not lost. He knew the way to their camp, where he would find food and bullets. He struggled (挣扎) to his feet and went on. Bill would be waiting for him there, and together they would go south to the Hudson Bay Company. He had not eaten for two days. Often he stopped to pick some small berries and put them into his mouth. The berries were tasteless, but he knew he must eat them. In the evening, he built a fire and slept like a dead man. When he woke up, the man took out a small bag. It weighed fifteen pounds. He wasn’t sure if he could carry it any longer. But he couldn’t leave it behind. He had to take it with him. He put it back into his pack, rose to his feet and walked on slowly. His foot hurt, but it was nothing compared with his hunger, which made him go on until darkness fell. His blanket was wet, but he knew only that he was hungry. Through his restless sleep he dreamed of food. The man woke up cold and sick, and found himself lost. But the small bag was still with him. As he dragged (拖) himself along, the bag became heavier and heavier. The man opened the bag, which was full of small pieces of gold. He left half the gold on a rock. Eleven days passed, days of rain and cold. One day he found the bones of a deer. There was no meat on them. The man broke the bones and he ate them like an animal. Would he, too, be bones tomorrow? And why not? This was life. Only life hurt. There was no hurt in death. To die was to sleep. Then why was he not ready to die? He, as a man, no longer strove. It was the life in him, unwilling to die, that drove him on. One morning he woke up beside a river. Slowly he followed it with his eyes and saw it entering into a shining sea. When he saw a ship on the sea, he closed his eyes. He knew there could be no ship, no sea, in this land. A vision, he told himself. He heard a noise behind him, and turned around. A wolf, old and sick, was coming slowly toward him. This was real, he thought. The man turned back, but the sea and the ship were still there. He didn’t understand. Had he been walking north, away from the camp, toward the sea? He started slowly toward the ship, knowing full well the sick wolf was following him. In the afternoon, he found some bones of a man. Beside the bones was a small bag of gold, like his own. So Bill had carried his gold to the end. He would carry Bill’s gold to the ship. Ha—ha! He would have the last laugh at Bill. His laughing sounded like the low cry of an animal. The wolf cried back. The man stopped suddenly and turned away. How could he laugh at Bill’s bones and take his gold? (Taken from Love of Life) 51. Which of the following shows the right order of the story? a. The man was lack of food for more than two days. b. The man carried half the bag of gold with him. c.

Actually, this kind of noise is called coloured noise, such as white noise, pink noise, and brown noise. Coloured noise contains a wide range of frequencies. However, it shows stronger intensity at certain frequencies. For example, violet noise has stronger intensity at higher frequencies. Brown noise produces deeper sounds such as heavy rainfall, because it shows stronger intensity at lower frequencies. White noise has equal intensity across all frequencies. Typical examples of white noise are the noise made by fans, and natural sounds like gently running water. Pink noise is similar to white noise but has stronger intensity at lower frequencies. There have been several experiments on the effect that noise has on people. In a 2021 study, 10 people in New York City affected by loud environmental noise showed improved sleep quality and sleep duration when white noise was played. Another sleep study showed that 16 adults actually improved their memory of vocabulary after listening to pink noise in their sleep, though the effect of pink noise on sleep quality wasn’t measured. Some people suggest that brown noise is the best noise for their sleep. However, no studies have proven it. So why do some people claim to sleep better with certain coloured noise? There are some theories that can explain it. One is about sound masking, and it shows that white noise masks other sounds of noise, resulting in better sleep. Another theory is that this sleep-aid effect could be an example of classical conditioning. For example, people who sleep better with brown noise may have conditioned themselves over time to fall asleep when they hear it. Every coloured noise has its benefits. It is your personal choice to decide which coloured noise is the best for you to get a good sleep! 34. According to the passage, coloured noise . A. shows similar intensity B. is mainly created by people C. has different frequencies D. is harmful to people’s health 35. Which of the following is right for the frequencies of coloured noise? A. B. C. D. 36. What can we learn from the passage? A. White noise is helpful for people to improve memory. B. The effect of pink noise on sleep quality has been proved. C. People may sleep better with brown noise if they get used to it. D. People can’t decide which coloured noise to play for their sleep. 37. What’s the best title for the passage? A. Coloured Noise: A Good Helper for Your Sleep B. Coloured Noise: A Creative Idea to Study Sounds C. Coloured Noise: A New Way to Improve Memory D.

But that was impossible because in the front row was a little boy named Teddy. With dirty clothes, Teddy could be unpleasant. At the school where Mrs. Black taught, she was required to receive each child’s past record and she put Teddy’s off until last. However, when she received it, she was quite surprised. Teddy’s first grade teacher wrote, “Teddy is a bright child with a ready laugh. He does his work well and has good manners he is a joy to be around.” His second grade teacher wrote, “Teddy is an excellent student, well liked by his classmates, but he is troubled because his mother has a terminal illness.” His third grade teacher wrote, “His mother’s death has been hard on him. Teddy doesn’t show much interest in school and sometimes sleeps in class.” By now, Mrs. Black realized the problem and she was ashamed (羞愧的) of herself. On the very day, she gave up teaching reading, and writing. Instead he began to teach children. Mrs. Black paid special attention to Teddy. By the end of the year, Teddy had become one of the smartest children in the class. Six years later, she received a note from Teddy. He wrote that he had finished high school, third in his class, and she was the best teacher he ever had in his whole life. Four years after that, she got another letter, saying that he would soon graduate from college with the highest honor (荣誉). Then four more years passed and yet another letter came. This time, Teddy said he was going to be married and invited Mrs. Black to his wedding. At the wedding, Teddy whispered in Mrs. Black’s ear, “Thank you Mrs. Black for believing in me. Thank you so much for making me feel important and showing me that I could make a difference.” Mrs. Black, with tears in eyes, whispered back, “Teddy, you have it all wrong.

They were Flint’s treasure! We had come so far to find this. Already it had cost the lives of seventeen men from the Hispaniola. And how many others? How many ships had gone to the bottom of the sea? How many brave men had been killed for this? Perhaps no man alive could tell from view, and I had never felt happier to leave a place behind. Next morning, we moved all the gold to the beach. Then we took it by boat to the Hispaniola. It was a big job for so small a number of men. Then at last, one sunny morning, we sailed out of North Inlet and towards the nearest port (港口) in Spanish America. Before afternoon, Treasure Island had gone The sun was going down when we sailed into the port, and the doctor and Mr. Trelawney took me to the beach. When we came back, Ben Gunn was waiting for us. “Silver has gone,”he told us,“but not empty-handed. He’s taken one of the bags of coins perhaps worth three or four hundred guineas.” I think we were all pleased to lose the bad man at so small a price. We found some sailors for the ship at the port, and then had a good journey home. Only five of the men who had sailed from Bristol with the Hispaniola returned with her. We all took a large piece of the treasure. Some used it wisely, but some did not. Captain Smollett no longer goes to sea. Gray saved his money and now is a half-owner and captain of a fine ship. Ben Gunn got a thousand pounds which he spent or lost in three weeks, then he came begging and was given a job as a gatekeeper. Of Silver we have heard no more.

Every morning, I noticed fresh air coming into the rooms and I knew that the Nautilus had surfaced (浮出水面). I would go out and see the sunrise. Then I received a note from Captain Nemo. He invited me and my friends to go hunting with him in the forests of Crespo Island. Ned was excited because he thought there he could find a chance to escape. When I saw Captain Nemo the next day, I asked him why he was so interested in Crespo Island. “I thought you preferred the sea to being on land.” “I do,” replied the Captain. “But these forests are under the sea.” During breakfast, he explained that he had made diving suits (潜水服) that used special air tanks. These tanks would allow us to stay under the water for ten hours. He had also made lights that worked in electric batteries. When Ned realized that we were not going onto land for our hunting trip, he decided not to come at all. Conseil and I put on our diving suits, and so did Captain Nemo and one of his men. We stepped into a room and closed the door. The room was filled with water, and another door opened. We must go through it, and we were in the sea floor. It was an amazing experience. We were about ten metres under the water. The light from the sun reached us. Everything looked very colourful. We walked over the fine sand and enjoyed the colours of the shells, fish and seaweed. Conseil and I followed Captain Nemo and his man as they crossed a large grassy area. We were going deeper and deeper. Two hours later, we were a hundred metres under the water. The suits worked very well, and it was easy to walk and breathe. At one hundred metres deep, we could still see quite well, and Captain Nemo stopped and pointed to some dark shapes. This was the forest. The “trees” in the forest were giant seaweed, and all their branches were vertical (垂直的). We could not stop looking at them. Fish swam around the branches like birds in a forest. Small shrubs (灌木) grew under the large seaweed trees. Some of them had flowers. We walked through this forest for about an hour, and then we lay down to rest. I was not hungry, but I was very sleepy. We all slept, and when we woke up, we walked further. (—Adapted from Twenty Thousand Leagues Under The Sea) 51. What do you think the Nautilus is? A. A kind of transport on land. B.

It was released(发布) by a company called OpenAI last year. Is ChatGPT going to change the world? Let’s learn what exactly it is. What is ChatGPT? ChatGPT is a computer program that can understand and reply to human language. It can be used for things like having a conversation or finishing a sentence. Even this sentence that you are reading now was written by ChatGPT. That’s right — I asked ChatGPT to write a paragraph including a basic explanation of ChatGPT in simple terms and it came up with that explanation of itself on its own. What’s amazing is that it seems to be a human in its ability to understand questions and answer them well. “Write a story about Boris Johnson in the style of Roald Dahl,” you can ask it, and it’ll show you a pretty good children’s story. “Write a list of reasons why London is better than New York,” and it’ll explain how London is more historic and has better public transport. One area where I’ve found it mostly useful is that it can write computer code(代码). Unlike the English language, when you write code, it has to be very exact and carefully structured — but when I asked ChatGPT to write me a program that would put some data into a database(数据库) for me, within seconds it showed something that would have taken me hours to do manually. ____▲_____ It isn’t, however, completely human-like. For example, it sometimes shows things that sound true, but are just nonsense. And it can’t do maths. Though it is better at some tasks than others, its ability to rhyme still needs to be improved. It doesn’t replace(取代) the human completely, but it does many things quicker. In the same way, it’s easy to imagine in the future every time we write something, we may have an unbelievably smart AI helper helping us get started. So I completely believe that ChatGPT — or something like it — is going to change the world. Our computers will no longer be just a machine, but our partner too. So, maybe now you have to worry about whether you can keep your job. 42. Which of the following is NOT true about ChatGPT? A. It can write a computer program within several seconds. B. It is released by a company called OpenAI last year. C. It’ll replace the human completely in the future in all fields. D. It’s a computer program that can understand human’s language. 43. How does the writer develop the part of “What is ChatGPT?”? A. By giving examples. B. By listing numbers. C. By making charts. D. By asking questions. 44. Which of the following can be the subtitle(小标题) in the ___ ▲____ part? A. The advantages of ChatGPT B. The limitations of ChatGPT C. The introductions of ChatGPT D. The purposes of ChatGPT 45. What might the writer continue to write at the end of the passage? A. The risks ChatGPT brings to our job. B. The influences ChatGPT has on our bodies. C. The reasons why we refuse to use ChatGPT. D. The problems we may face while using ChatGPT. 【答案】42. C 43. A 44. B 45. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了什么是ChatGPT，以及它的局限性。 【42题详解】 细节理解题。根据“It doesn’t replace the human completely, but it does many things quicker.”和“So I completely believe that ChatGPT — or something like it — is going to change the world.”可知，ChatGPT并不能完全取代人类，但它能更快地完成许多事情，作者完全相信ChatGPT或类似的东西将改变世界。由此可知，作者并没有认为ChatGPT在未来在所有领域会完全取代人类。故选C。 【43题详解】 细节理解题。根据小标题“What is ChatGPT?”下的四段可知，先以“ChatGPT is a computer program that can understand and reply to human language.”简单介绍什么是ChatGPT；再分别以写故事和写代码为例，详细说明了什么是ChatGPT。故选A。 【44题详解】 主旨大意题。根据文章最后两段可知，倒数第二段主要讲述了ChatGPT并不完全像人；倒数最后一段主要讲述了ChatGPT不能完全取代人类。由此可知，两段主要讲述了ChatGPT的局限性，故选B。 【45题详解】 推理判断题。根据“Our computers will no longer be just a machine, but our partner too. So, maybe now you have to worry about whether you can keep your job.”可知，我们的电脑将不再只是一台机器，而是我们的合作伙伴，所以，也许现在你不得不担心自己能否保住工作。所以此处描述的是ChatGPT给工作带来的风险，故选A。 20、2024·扬州市树人学校·期中卷 China and India are leaders in improving global tree cover, a new study based on NASA research showed. They took a 31.8 percent part together of the total global new leaf area between 2000 and 2017. China played a major role, adding 25 percent to this increase, and India added 6.8 percent, followed by Canada and Russia. The study in the Nature Sustainability journal shows that more than 5.5 million square kilometers of green leaf area was added globally. Since 2000, there has been a 5 percent increase in global green cover, it said. “The greening over the last twenty years shows an increase in leaf area on plants and trees which is as large as the area of the entire Amazon rainforest,” Chi Chen, a Boston University researcher and leader of the study told Nature Sustainability. Large plantation activities to protect forests in China contributed nearly 42 percent to the country’s green cover, and agriculture(农业) added another 32 percent. In India, 82 percent of the increase in leaf area was because of agriculture. “China and India take up one-third of the greening, but hold only nine percent of the planet’s land area covered in green plants,” Chi Chen told NASA Earth Observatory. “That is a surprising finding, considering the land degradation(退化) in countries with large populations.” Boston University’s research team first detected an increase in global green cover in the 1990s but were unsure what contributed to the increase. Finally, with the help of NASA’s Terra and Aqua satellites research, they managed to find out the increase in leaf cover from different areas and places. 62. Which country contributed to the largest increase in the global new leaf area? A. China. B. India. C. Russia. D. Canada. 63. For what purpose did the author mention the Amazon rainforest? A. To show the major role of rainforest. B. To explain the reason for developing agriculture. C. To describe the difficulty in protecting forests. D. To show the great increase in global green cover. 64. What did Chi Chen think of the new finding? A. Worrying. B. Interesting. C. Unexpected. D. Meaningless. 65. What does the underlined word “detected” probably mean? A. Imagined. B. Discovered. C. Studied. D. Doubted. 【答案】62. A 63. D 64. C 65. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。美国国家航空航天局的卫星数据显示，中国和印度在2000年到2017年间，贡献了全球新增绿化面积的百分之三十多，为人类的环境保护作出了巨大贡献。 【62题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“China played a major role, adding 25 percent to this increase, and India added 6.8 percent, followed by Canada and Russia.”可知中国新增的森林面积最大，占25%。故选A。 【63题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“The greening over the last twenty years shows an increase in leaf area on plants and trees which is as large as the area of the entire Amazon rainforest,”可知过去20年里，全球新增绿化面积相当于一个亚马逊雨林，因此作者提到亚马逊雨林是来强调提高全球绿化覆盖的成效。故选D。 【64题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“That is a surprising finding, considering the land degradation（退化）in countries with large populations.”可知Chi Chen认为这是一个出乎意料的发现。故选C。 【65题详解】 词句猜测题。根据“Boston University’s research team first detected an increase … but were unsure what contributed to the increase. Finally, … they managed to find out the increase in leaf cover from different areas and places.”可推测处波士顿大学的研究小组首次“发现”了全球绿色覆盖的增加。故选B。 2 原创精品资源学科网独家享有版权，侵权必究！ 7 原创精品资源学科网独家享有版权，侵权必究！ 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
