Do you believe it can take you from place to place in minutes? It sounds like science fiction, right? Well, not anymore. An electric vertical take-off and landing (eVTOL, 电动垂直起降) aircraft (飞行器), also known as an air taxi, completed its first inter-city flight in Guangdong on Feb 27. The eVTOL aircraft started its journey from Shenzhen to Zhuhai, completing the 55-kilometer trip in about 20 minutes. This flight is an important development of this exciting new form of transport. Air taxis use high technology to take off and land vertically like a helicopter, which doesn’t need long runways. Instead of using traditional combustion engines, air taxis use electric motors. These air taxis have propellers placed all over them to help them stay balanced. They also use lithiumion batteries to store electricity, letting them fly far and fast. With a central command center that keeps an eye on the flight, some of them can fly without a pilot. There is no doubt that air taxis can help improve heavy traffic, with their direct point-to-point travel saving valuable time for urban people. Except this benefit, as an eco-friendly choice, air taxis produce fewer emissions than traditional cars, improving urban air quality. However, air taxis also need special places to take off and land, which means they need eVTOL airports called “vertiports”. Now researchers are trying to make full use of the existing (现有的) small airports to serve as “vertiports”. And with plans to fly at low altitudes (纬度) in cities, there’s still much work to be done to keep everyone safe. 1．Why does the author use the questions in paragraph 1? A．To carry out a survey. B．To show the author’s dream. C．To interest readers. D．To begin a science fiction. 2．What helps air taxis stay balanced? A．A helicopter. B．Propellers. C．Lithiumion batteries. D．Combustion engines. 3．What does the underlined word “benefit” mean? A．Problem. B．Choice. C．Way. D．Advantage. 4．According to the last paragraph, what may next researches focus on? A．How to fly higher and more safely. B．How to improve urban air quality. C．How to fly at low altitudes more safely. D．How to build more new airports for air taxis. 5．What’s the best title of the passage? A．A new form of transport. B．The history of air taxis. C．The popularity of air taxis. D．The forms of transport.

Within one day, the video got nearly 2 million views on YouTube and 10 million views on Bilibili. ③Every year on August 20th, the developer Game Science showed a new video about the development progress of the game. However, what’s different this year is that we finally got to play it. On August 20th, 2023, in Hangzhou, 1000 players from all over China were invited to play the latest demo (试玩版) of the game. And three days later in Cologne, games from all over the world came to play it at Gamescom 2023. Some even waited for more than 5 hours only to play it for 45 minutes. On August 25th, the game won the Award of Best Visuals (最佳视觉效果奖). ④The Monkey King has appeared in video games before, but seldom has that been in a game made by a Chinese company which paid so much attention to showing Chinese traditional culture. ⑤“We’ve just been so interested with this Chinese mythology,” Game Science boss Feng Ji told the Unreal Engine website. That interest led to years of study on the Monkey King. But while Black Myth: Wukong is set in the world of Journey to the West, the 500-year-old book was not enough for the game developers. ⑥“To create a fascinating Chinese story, we also looked to many Chinese classics, taking ideas from their stories, characters and monsters, for example, The Classic of Mountains and Seas  (《山海经》), The Investiture of the Gods (《封神演义》), Strange Tales from a Chinese Studio (《聊斋志异》), Wuxia novels by Jin Yong and Gu Long and science fictions by Liu Cixin. They all inspired the making of the game,” said Feng. ⑦For Chinese game industry and Chinese traditional culture, there is also a “journey to the west”. Since the full game of Black Myth: Wukong is due to come out next summer, there are reasons to believe that, with time given, Game Science will make its way! 1．Which of the following is the right order according to the passage? a. Players from all over the world played Black Myth: Wukong. b. Players from all over China played Black Myth: Wukong. c. Game Science showed videos about Black Myth: Wukong. d. Black Myth: Wukong won the Award of Best Visuals. A．a b c d B．c d b a C．c b a d D．b a d c 2．What does the underlined word “They” in Paragraph 6 refer to? A．The Chinese classics. B．Wuxia novels and science fictions. C．Jin Yong, Gu Long and Liu Cixin. D．The game developers. 3．Which of the following best shows the structure of the passage? A．①②/③④/⑤⑥/⑦ B．①/②③④/⑤⑥/⑦ C．①②/③/④⑤⑥/⑦ D．①/②③/④⑤⑥/⑦ 4．What can we know from the last paragraph? A．The game industry in China is better than that in western countries. B．There is a long way to go for Chinese traditional culture to be known around the world. C．Game science will take a trip to the west next summer. D．We can play Black Myth: Wukong for free next summer. C（2024·广东广州·中考真题） Many people know that robots explore space and build things in factories.

D（2024·江西景德镇·二模） Whenever I gaze (凝视) into the night sky, I dream of exploring the things that are hidden behind the black “curtains”. This is especially true after I had read the popular science-fiction novel Three-Body Problem. So perhaps you can never imagine how excited I felt when I was given the chance to attend a speech given by Mr Li Di, a chief scientist of China’s FAST (天眼), and afterwards, to be able to interview him. FAST is short for the Five-hundred-meter Aperture Spherical Radio Telescope (500米口径球面射电望远镜). It is located in Guizhou Province. During the speech, Mr Li let us know more details about FAST. Through his introduction, I knew that FAST is currently the world’s largest single-dish radio telescope. Mr Li also shared some stories behind the amazing telescope. At first, the budget for the project was very low, so the astronomers (天文学家) who worked on it could hardly afford the machines. Their living conditions were terrible. Despite the great difficulties, the astronomers refused to give up building the telescope. After having learned these stories, I felt even prouder of the telescope. It couldn’t have been completed without the hard work of many persistent (坚持不懈的) Chinese scientists. FAST, the world’s most advanced (先进的) telescope, is now open to researchers all around the world. Astronomers around the world are using it to explore the mysteries behind the black “curtains”. FAST is the pride of the Chinese people. Mr Li told us that China is planning to build much more telescopes like FAST. I hope I can grow up to be a persistent woman and help the construction (建造) of these telescopes. 1．What can we learn about FAST from the passage? A．FAST is located in Sichuan Province. B．FAST is currently the world’s second largest single-dish radio telescope. C．FAST is used to explore the oceans. D．FAST is short for the Five-hundred-meter Aperture Spherical Radio Telescope. 2．What does the underlined word “budget” in Paragraph 3 mean ? A．average B．fund C．technology D．expectation 3．The telescope is successfully constructed because of ________. A．the advanced technology that China owns B．the hard work of many persistent Chinese scientists C．the high budget for this project D．the ideas of the novel Three-Body Problem 4．What can we infer from the last paragraph? A．China is planning to build more telescopes like FAST. B．FAST is currently open to researches in a few countries. C．The author has learnt a lot about persistence from the construction of FAST. D．Chinese people are very proud of FAST. 5．What does the passage mainly talk about? A．Scientists who built FAST is hard-working and persistent.

This created a need for phones that can be fixed easily instead of being thrown away. The newest phone called the G22, is the most advanced phone that can be easily repaired. If the screen breaks or the battery dies, anyone who has a small screwdriver (螺丝刀) and five minutes can put in a new one. This saves users a lot of time waiting for repair and keeps the phone from becoming a waste. Protecting the warming planet with AI’s help Methane Emissions (甲烷排放) are bad for Earth. They are a big reason for climate change. However, neither human eyes nor most satellites in space can see the emissions, so they are difficult to locate.

Imagine mountains held in silver water, shining in the spring sun. Summer sees the mountains turn green with growing rice. During autumn, these same mountains are gold, and in winter they are covered with white frost. 44 These terraces were built by the local Zhuang and Yao people in Guangxi. It was hard work when they started. 1 Reaching as far as the eye can see, these terraces cover tall mountains, often from the bottom to the very top. 2 Firstly, building the terraces meant that they could increase more fields to grow rice. Secondly, the flat terraces catch the rainwater and stop the soil from being washed away. People have worked in harmony with nature to make these terraces. The terraces have hundreds of waterways that connect with each other. During the rainy season, rainwater moves down the mountains along these waterway and into the terraces. 3 This forms clouds and then rain falls down onto the mountain terraces once again. Though modern technology could help produce more crops, these terraces still mean a lot to the local people. 4 This knowledge is passed down through families, which means that people will continue to use ancient methods of farming to keep the terraces. Today, the Longji Rice Terraces receive high praise for being a great wonder created by people and nature working together. A．For them, traditions hold too much value. B．It is quite useless for the people to work there. C．The sun heats the water and turns it into vapour (水蒸气). D．These are the amazing colours of the Longji Rice Terraces. E．There are reasons why people turn the mountains into terraces. F．Working on the terraces took them hundreds of years from Yuan Dynasty to Qing Dynasty. G．Now, more and more tourists are attracted by its beauty. 02（2024·山东泰安·中考真题） Papermaking technology (造纸术) is one of the four great inventions in ancient China. 1 Thousands of years ago in the Mediterranean (地中海), it was common for people to write messages on broken pieces from jars (坛，罐). 50 In the Eastern Han Dynasty, an official named Cai Lun created a sheet of paper using mulberry (桑树) and other fibers (纤维) along with fishing net, old clothes, and other wastes. He steamed and cooked al these materials with water, and changed them into pulp (纸浆), then poured the pulp out carefully on a fine screen and dried it into a kind of thin paper. The paper was suitable for writing and was also very cheap, so it became very popular. 51 After the Eastern Han Dynasty, papermaking technology had been gradually improved. And then bamboo and straw could also be used as the materials for making paper. 2 For example, the Xuan paper is used for Chinese calligraphy and painting. Papermaking technology was introduced to the Korean peninsula and Japan in the late Sui and early Tang dynasties, and later to Arabia and other countries. 3 It also plays an important role in the development of global civilization. A．Therefore, Cai Lun played a great part in papermaking technology. B．Before it was invented, people wrote on different kinds of things. C．Because of different materials, many kinds of paper were produced for different uses. D．Animal skins and wood were also common materials to write on. E．The invention of paper provides a more convenient way for communication of information. 四、短文填空 （2024·四川遂宁·中考真题）根据下面材料，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内所给单词的正确形式。 The oil-paper umbrella has a history of over 1,000 years in China.

Do you believe it can take you from place to place in minutes? It sounds like science fiction, right? Well, not anymore. An electric vertical take-off and landing (eVTOL, 电动垂直起降) aircraft (飞行器), also known as an air taxi, completed its first inter-city flight in Guangdong on Feb 27. The eVTOL aircraft started its journey from Shenzhen to Zhuhai, completing the 55-kilometer trip in about 20 minutes. This flight is an important development of this exciting new form of transport. Air taxis use high technology to take off and land vertically like a helicopter, which doesn’t need long runways. Instead of using traditional combustion engines, air taxis use electric motors. These air taxis have propellers placed all over them to help them stay balanced. They also use lithiumion batteries to store electricity, letting them fly far and fast. With a central command center that keeps an eye on the flight, some of them can fly without a pilot. There is no doubt that air taxis can help improve heavy traffic, with their direct point-to-point travel saving valuable time for urban people. Except this benefit, as an eco-friendly choice, air taxis produce fewer emissions than traditional cars, improving urban air quality. However, air taxis also need special places to take off and land, which means they need eVTOL airports called “vertiports”. Now researchers are trying to make full use of the existing (现有的) small airports to serve as “vertiports”. And with plans to fly at low altitudes (纬度) in cities, there’s still much work to be done to keep everyone safe. 1．Why does the author use the questions in paragraph 1? A．To carry out a survey. B．To show the author’s dream. C．To interest readers. D．To begin a science fiction. 2．What helps air taxis stay balanced? A．A helicopter. B．Propellers. C．Lithiumion batteries. D．Combustion engines. 3．What does the underlined word “benefit” mean? A．Problem. B．Choice. C．Way. D．Advantage. 4．According to the last paragraph, what may next researches focus on? A．How to fly higher and more safely. B．How to improve urban air quality. C．How to fly at low altitudes more safely. D．How to build more new airports for air taxis. 5．What’s the best title of the passage? A．A new form of transport. B．The history of air taxis. C．The popularity of air taxis. D．The forms of transport. 【答案】1．C 2．B 3．D 4．C 5．A 【导语】本文主要介绍了一种新的交通方式——空中出租车。 1．推理判断题。根据“Did you ever imagine flying over the city in an air taxi that has no pilot? Do you believe it can take you from place to place in minutes”可知作者通过这两个问句引出文章的主题——空中出租车，引起读者阅读的兴趣。故选C。 2．细节理解题。根据“These air taxis have propellers placed all over them to help them stay balanced.”可知这些空中出租车都装有螺旋桨，以帮助它们保持平衡。故选B。 3．词义猜测题。根据“There is no doubt that air taxis can help improve heavy traffic, with their direct point-to-point travel saving valuable time for urban people. Except this benefit, as an eco-friendly choice, air taxis produce fewer emissions than traditional cars, improving urban air quality.”可知空中出租车可以帮助改善拥挤的交通，它们的直接点对点旅行为城市居民节省了宝贵的时间，空中出租车的排放量比传统汽车少，改善了城市空气质量，这些都是空中出租车的好处，故划线部分意为“好处”，和advantage意义相近。故选D。 4．推理判断题。根据“And with plans to fly at low altitudes (纬度) in cities, there’s still much work to be done to keep everyone safe.”可知随着在城市低空飞行的计划，要保证每个人的安全，还有很多工作要做，所以接下来的研究会集中在如何在低空飞行更安全。故选C。 5．最佳标题题。本文主要介绍了一种新的交通方式——空中出租车，以选项A“一种新的交通方式”为标题最合适。故选A。 B（2024·浙江宁波·一模） ①The Monkey King is coming to the world of AAA video games. ②On August 20th, 2020, the Chinese game developer Game Science showed a 13-minute video about its action role-playing game (动作类角色扮演游戏)—Black Myth: Wukong (《黑神话：悟空》).

This is especially true after I had read the popular science-fiction novel Three-Body Problem. So perhaps you can never imagine how excited I felt when I was given the chance to attend a speech given by Mr Li Di, a chief scientist of China’s FAST (天眼), and afterwards, to be able to interview him. FAST is short for the Five-hundred-meter Aperture Spherical Radio Telescope (500米口径球面射电望远镜). It is located in Guizhou Province. During the speech, Mr Li let us know more details about FAST. Through his introduction, I knew that FAST is currently the world’s largest single-dish radio telescope. Mr Li also shared some stories behind the amazing telescope. At first, the budget for the project was very low, so the astronomers (天文学家) who worked on it could hardly afford the machines. Their living conditions were terrible. Despite the great difficulties, the astronomers refused to give up building the telescope. After having learned these stories, I felt even prouder of the telescope. It couldn’t have been completed without the hard work of many persistent (坚持不懈的) Chinese scientists. FAST, the world’s most advanced (先进的) telescope, is now open to researchers all around the world. Astronomers around the world are using it to explore the mysteries behind the black “curtains”. FAST is the pride of the Chinese people. Mr Li told us that China is planning to build much more telescopes like FAST. I hope I can grow up to be a persistent woman and help the construction (建造) of these telescopes. 1．What can we learn about FAST from the passage? A．FAST is located in Sichuan Province.

Imagine mountains held in silver water, shining in the spring sun. Summer sees the mountains turn green with growing rice. During autumn, these same mountains are gold, and in winter they are covered with white frost. 44 These terraces were built by the local Zhuang and Yao people in Guangxi. It was hard work when they started. 1 Reaching as far as the eye can see, these terraces cover tall mountains, often from the bottom to the very top. 2 Firstly, building the terraces meant that they could increase more fields to grow rice. Secondly, the flat terraces catch the rainwater and stop the soil from being washed away. People have worked in harmony with nature to make these terraces. The terraces have hundreds of waterways that connect with each other. During the rainy season, rainwater moves down the mountains along these waterway and into the terraces. 3 This forms clouds and then rain falls down onto the mountain terraces once again. Though modern technology could help produce more crops, these terraces still mean a lot to the local people. 4 This knowledge is passed down through families, which means that people will continue to use ancient methods of farming to keep the terraces. Today, the Longji Rice Terraces receive high praise for being a great wonder created by people and nature working together. A．For them, traditions hold too much value. B．It is quite useless for the people to work there. C．The sun heats the water and turns it into vapour (水蒸气). D．These are the amazing colours of the Longji Rice Terraces.

He steamed and cooked al these materials with water, and changed them into pulp (纸浆), then poured the pulp out carefully on a fine screen and dried it into a kind of thin paper. The paper was suitable for writing and was also very cheap, so it became very popular. 51 After the Eastern Han Dynasty, papermaking technology had been gradually improved. And then bamboo and straw could also be used as the materials for making paper. 2 For example, the Xuan paper is used for Chinese calligraphy and painting. Papermaking technology was introduced to the Korean peninsula and Japan in the late Sui and early Tang dynasties, and later to Arabia and other countries. 3 It also plays an important role in the development of global civilization. A．Therefore, Cai Lun played a great part in papermaking technology. B．Before it was invented, people wrote on different kinds of things.

As society develops, more and more families use home robots in their daily lives. Is it a good idea? I’ve made a survey in our class recently. Let’s have a look at the result of my survey. 60% of the students think it’s a good idea. Here are their reasons. First home robots help with housework so that people have more time to do things they enjoy. Second, home robots can act as guards when no one is at home. This gives people a sense of security. Third, they can also make people feel less lonely. Fourth, they can improve the efficiency of work. However, 28% of the students disagree with the following reasons. First, depending on the robots too much may make people lazier. Second, most robots have cameras to collect information. That puts the owners’ private information at a risk of being exposed. Third, it also costs too much to buy a home robot at present. Finally, Home robots are high-energy appliances. As for the rest of the students, they are not sure if it’s a good idea to have a home robot. In my opinion, home robots can make our lives easier.
