专题04 阅读理解（说明文） 1. （23-24九年级上·广东湛江·期末） Have you ever wondered why birds sing? Maybe you thought that they were just happy. After all, you probably sing when you are happy. Some scientists believe that birds do sing some of the time just because they are happy. However, they sing most of the time for a very different reason. Their singing is actually a warning to other birds to stay out of their territory. Do you know what a “territory” is? A territory is an area that an animal, usually the male (雄性) animal, considers as its own. Only he and his family are welcome there. No other families of the same species (物种) are welcome. Your yard and house are your territory where only your family and friends are welcome. If a stranger should enter your territory and frighten you, you might shout. Probably this would be enough to frighten him away. If so, you have actually scared the stranger away without having to fight him. A bird does the same thing. But he expects an outsider almost any time, especially at nesting (筑巢) season. So he is screaming all the time, whether he can see an outsider or not. This screaming is what we call a bird’s song, and it is usually enough to keep an outsider away. Birds sing loudest in spring when they are trying to attract a mate and warn others not to enter the territory of theirs. You can see that birds have a language of their own. Most of it has to do with attracting (吸引) mates and setting up territories. 1．How does the writer explain birds’ singing? A．By telling a bird’s story. B．By describing birds’ daily life. C．By reporting experiment results. D．By comparing birds with human. 2．Some scientists believe that most of the time bird’s singing is actually ________. A．an expression of happiness B．a way of warning C．an expression of anger D．a way of greeting 3．What does the underlined word “territory” mean? A．An area which a bird considers to be its own. B．An area for which birds fight against each other. C．A place where a bird may shout at the top of its voice. D．A place where families of other species are not welcome. 4．Why do birds keep on singing at nesting season? A．Because they want to invite more friends. B．Because they want to find outsiders around. C．Because they want to express their happiness. D．Because their singing helps frighten outsiders away. 5．What’s the best title of the passage? A．The differences of human and birds B．How birds keep an outsider away C．The reasons of birds’ singing D．Birds’ singing for happiness 2. （23-24九年级上·广东深圳·期末）Aarrav Anil has had a deep interest in mechanics (机械学) since childhood. This allows the teen to represent (代表) India at more than 20 robotics competitions around the world. But Aarrav didn’t create his smart spoon to win a prize. He saw his uncle, who has Parkinson’s disease (PD) (帕金森病), struggling to feed himself. Food kept falling out of his mouth, making him look like a mess. He wanted to make a change. More than 7 million people in India have PD．The disease influences the brain, causing patients to shake uncontrollably. As the disease progresses, it leads to difficulty in eating by oneself. Aarrav wanted his uncle to be able to eat by himself. This encouraged the teen to look for a way to help his uncle. So he took to his room with sensors (传感器), a 3D printer and other tools. But not everything went well. “It was disappointing not to be able to find certain parts I needed in India. I had to buy some from abroad,” Aarrav said in an interview. Aarrav made a first model, but the spoon handle was not easy for his uncle to hold. “I’ve improved the invention. It needs to be waterproof (防水的). The spoon must be easily separated, so that it can be cleaned and replaced with a fork. And the spoon needs to be deeper to hold more food,” the teen said.

AI has become an important part of people’s daily lives. It’s necessary to understand how AI will impact (影响) the lives of children—both now and in the future, especially when some new AI tools have become really popular. AI could bring good changes to children. It can improve children’s educational experiences by checking their performance on schoolwork and giving advice to support them to study better. If children have problems understanding a difficult topic, they could use AI to break it down into smaller ones step by step. Also, AI can give healthcare advice to help doctors work out problems. So for children, they will get a more personalized healthcare experience. AI brings lots of exciting possibilities, but there might also be some downsides. Some children might talk to AI about their feelings instead of talking to a real person. If children talk to AI too much, they will have less contact (联系), which they really need for growing up. Besides, kids should be very careful when they share private information with AI. Someone might use what they share about themselves to make money. Learning to use AI and teaching children how to live with it safely can help create a better future. Let’s use AI smartly and prepare our children for life with AI, so that they can enjoy the good things about AI without worries. 1．What can you learn about AI from paragraph 1? A．AI comes from students’ computers. B．AI can make more machines for children. C．AI is a machine that can change people’s daily lives. D．AI makes machines learn from data and make decisions. 2．How can AI improve children’s educational experiences? A．By advising teachers to use AI technology. B．By giving personal healthcare experiences to children. C．By checking children’s performance and giving advice. D．By giving children chances to get better grades in schoolwork. 3．How can AI help children with difficult topics? A．By making students work together. B．By breaking down the topics step by step. C．By helping students do their schoolwork. D．By sharing personal information with students. 4．What does the underlined word “private” in paragraph 3 mean? A．Famous. B．Meaningless. C．Personal. D．Different. 5．Which can be the best title for the passage? A．The history of AI tools B．The impact of AI on kids C．The popularity of AI tools D．The lives of children without AI 4. （23-24九年级上·广东佛山·期末）Have you ever imagined being able to communicate with your pets at home and have them understand everything you say? It sounds too good to be true, but scientists have started using AI to help communicate with animals. Professor Bake told Scientific Magazine that AI allows humans to use technology to watch and understand the sounds and signals animals communicate with so we humans can try to speak back to them. She said trying to communicate in animals’ language could be better than teaching them how to use human sign language. AI is already helping us communicate with bats and bees. This could change what we know about these animals and our relationships with them. Professor Bake explained how Scientist Tovel had used recordings and AI to understand bats. “Bats have their own language. They often argue over food. They have different names, or ‘signature calls’,” she said, “mother bats lower their voice when speaking to their babies. Their voice can never be heard with human ears. But AI makes this possible because a computer can be trained to listen like a bat.” Actually, AI has so far achieved a lot in this field. For example, the computer not only listens but also watches bees’ body movement to understand what they are communicating. Bake said scientists now know how bees say things such as “be quiet” or “stop”. Scientist Landlof even created a robot Honeybee that entered a bee’s home and was able to communicate with other bees when it wanted them to stop doing something or fly. 1．How does the writer start the passage? A．By telling a story. B．By listing reasons. C．By asking a question. D．By comparing facts. 2．What can AI do in communicating with animals? A．It can improve relation with animals. B．It can teach animals sign language. C．It can help us know more about nature. D．It can understand animals’ language. 3．What does the underlined word “this” in Paragraph 3 refer to? A．Hearing mother bats’ voice. B．Recording bats’ words. C．Training human ears. D．Speaking to baby bats. 4．Why does the writer mention bees in the last paragraph? A．To offer a new way of AI study. B．To introduce a famous scientist in AI. C．To show what AI has done in the field. D．To describe how AI works in talking to bees. 5．Where can you probably find this text? A．In a story book. B．In a science magazine. C．In a poster about AI. D．In an art magazine. 5. （23-24九年级上·广东广州·期末）Holidays are very popular with students. They expect to relax and do something they like.

The cause is melting (融化) sea ice. Without ice, the bears must walk on the bank which is away from their main food source. That means the animals will be in danger because of lacking food. “There’s not enough food on land to support a polar bear population.” Doctor Smith, the study’s lead writer said. Lacking of food induces another problem. Mother bears may not be fat enough to produce milk for their babies. Some bear populations could stop having babies, leading to a rapid drop in numbers. Arctic (北极) sea ice usually melts in the spring and summer, and then grows in the winter. But now, the ice is taking longer to grow back. Weather reports say the Arctic is warming twice as fast as the rest of the planet. Ice here has reduced 13% every 10 years since the 1970s. The Arctic is home to about 25, 000 polar bears. Scientists have known that the animals are in danger. But the study also notes that it is still possible to slow Arctic melting.

Maybe you thought that they were just happy. After all, you probably sing when you are happy. Some scientists believe that birds do sing some of the time just because they are happy. However, they sing most of the time for a very different reason. Their singing is actually a warning to other birds to stay out of their territory. Do you know what a “territory” is? A territory is an area that an animal, usually the male (雄性) animal, considers as its own. Only he and his family are welcome there. No other families of the same species (物种) are welcome. Your yard and house are your territory where only your family and friends are welcome. If a stranger should enter your territory and frighten you, you might shout. Probably this would be enough to frighten him away. If so, you have actually scared the stranger away without having to fight him. A bird does the same thing. But he expects an outsider almost any time, especially at nesting (筑巢) season. So he is screaming all the time, whether he can see an outsider or not. This screaming is what we call a bird’s song, and it is usually enough to keep an outsider away. Birds sing loudest in spring when they are trying to attract a mate and warn others not to enter the territory of theirs. You can see that birds have a language of their own. Most of it has to do with attracting (吸引) mates and setting up territories. 1．How does the writer explain birds’ singing? A．By telling a bird’s story. B．By describing birds’ daily life. C．By reporting experiment results. D．By comparing birds with human. 2．Some scientists believe that most of the time bird’s singing is actually ________. A．an expression of happiness B．a way of warning C．an expression of anger D．a way of greeting 3．What does the underlined word “territory” mean? A．An area which a bird considers to be its own. B．An area for which birds fight against each other. C．A place where a bird may shout at the top of its voice. D．A place where families of other species are not welcome. 4．Why do birds keep on singing at nesting season? A．Because they want to invite more friends. B．Because they want to find outsiders around. C．Because they want to express their happiness. D．Because their singing helps frighten outsiders away. 5．What’s the best title of the passage? A．The differences of human and birds B．How birds keep an outsider away C．The reasons of birds’ singing D．Birds’ singing for happiness 【答案】1．D 2．B 3．A 4．D 5．C 【导语】本文主要分析了鸟儿唱歌的不同的原因。文章讲述，鸟儿的叫声并非全都是在唱歌，而是一种发出的警告，警示同伴或是吓退入侵者。 1．推理判断题。根据“Maybe you thought that they were just happy. After all, you probably sing when you are happy.”和“If so, you have actually scared the stranger away without having to fight him.

AI has become an important part of people’s daily lives. It’s necessary to understand how AI will impact (影响) the lives of children—both now and in the future, especially when some new AI tools have become really popular. AI could bring good changes to children. It can improve children’s educational experiences by checking their performance on schoolwork and giving advice to support them to study better. If children have problems understanding a difficult topic, they could use AI to break it down into smaller ones step by step. Also, AI can give healthcare advice to help doctors work out problems. So for children, they will get a more personalized healthcare experience. AI brings lots of exciting possibilities, but there might also be some downsides. Some children might talk to AI about their feelings instead of talking to a real person. If children talk to AI too much, they will have less contact (联系), which they really need for growing up. Besides, kids should be very careful when they share private information with AI. Someone might use what they share about themselves to make money. Learning to use AI and teaching children how to live with it safely can help create a better future. Let’s use AI smartly and prepare our children for life with AI, so that they can enjoy the good things about AI without worries. 1．What can you learn about AI from paragraph 1?

It sounds too good to be true, but scientists have started using AI to help communicate with animals. Professor Bake told Scientific Magazine that AI allows humans to use technology to watch and understand the sounds and signals animals communicate with so we humans can try to speak back to them. She said trying to communicate in animals’ language could be better than teaching them how to use human sign language. AI is already helping us communicate with bats and bees. This could change what we know about these animals and our relationships with them. Professor Bake explained how Scientist Tovel had used recordings and AI to understand bats. “Bats have their own language. They often argue over food. They have different names, or ‘signature calls’,” she said, “mother bats lower their voice when speaking to their babies. Their voice can never be heard with human ears. But AI makes this possible because a computer can be trained to listen like a bat.” Actually, AI has so far achieved a lot in this field. For example, the computer not only listens but also watches bees’ body movement to understand what they are communicating. Bake said scientists now know how bees say things such as “be quiet” or “stop”. Scientist Landlof even created a robot Honeybee that entered a bee’s home and was able to communicate with other bees when it wanted them to stop doing something or fly. 1．How does the writer start the passage? A．By telling a story. B．By listing reasons. C．By asking a question. D．By comparing facts. 2．What can AI do in communicating with animals? A．It can improve relation with animals. B．It can teach animals sign language. C．It can help us know more about nature. D．It can understand animals’ language. 3．What does the underlined word “this” in Paragraph 3 refer to? A．Hearing mother bats’ voice. B．Recording bats’ words. C．Training human ears. D．Speaking to baby bats. 4．Why does the writer mention bees in the last paragraph? A．To offer a new way of AI study. B．To introduce a famous scientist in AI. C．To show what AI has done in the field. D．To describe how AI works in talking to bees. 5．Where can you probably find this text? A．In a story book. B．In a science magazine. C．In a poster about AI. D．In an art magazine. 【答案】1．C 2．D 3．A 4．C 5．B 【导语】本文讲述了科学家开始使用人工智能来与动物交流。AI可以帮助人类理解动物的声音和信号，并尝试用动物语言与它们交流。AI已经帮助人类与蝙蝠和蜜蜂进行交流，这可能改变我们对这些动物的认识和与它们的关系。科学家使用录音和AI来理解蝙蝠的语言，而AI还可以观察蜜蜂的身体动作来理解它们的交流。科学家甚至创建了一个机器蜜蜂，它能够与其他蜜蜂进行交流。 1．细节理解题。根据第一段的首句“Have you ever imagined being able to communicate with your pets at home and have them understand everything you say?”可知，作者以提问的方式来开始这篇文章。故选C。 2．细节理解题。根据第二段“Professor Bake told Scientific Magazine that AI allows humans to use technology to watch and understand the sounds and signals animals communicate with”可知，AI允许人们使用技术来观察和理解动物交流时发出的声音和信号，即可让人们理解动物的“语言”。故选D。 3．词义猜测题。根据“mother bats lower their voice when speaking to their babies. Their voice can never be heard with human ears. But AI makes this possible because a computer can be trained to listen like a bat.”可知，蝙蝠妈妈和它们的宝宝说话时会降低声音，人类的耳朵永远听不到它们的声音，但AI可以使这件事成为可能。划线单词this指代“听到蝙蝠妈妈的声音”这件事。故选A。 4．推理判断题。根据最后一段“Actually, AI has so far achieved a lot in this field. For example, the computer not only listens but also watches bees’ body movement to understand what they are communicating...”可知，最后一段提及“蜜蜂”，是想要展示AI在这个领域的成就。故选C。 5．推理判断题。根据“Professor Bake told Scientific Magazine that...”及通读全文后可知，本文讲述了科学家开始使用人工智能来与动物交流的相关内容，文章所叙述的内容与科学有关，因此有可能在科学杂志上看到此文章。故选B。 5. （23-24九年级上·广东广州·期末）Holidays are very popular with students.

The cause is melting (融化) sea ice. Without ice, the bears must walk on the bank which is away from their main food source. That means the animals will be in danger because of lacking food. “There’s not enough food on land to support a polar bear population.” Doctor Smith, the study’s lead writer said. Lacking of food induces another problem. Mother bears may not be fat enough to produce milk for their babies. Some bear populations could stop having babies, leading to a rapid drop in numbers. Arctic (北极) sea ice usually melts in the spring and summer, and then grows in the winter. But now, the ice is taking longer to grow back. Weather reports say the Arctic is warming twice as fast as the rest of the planet. Ice here has reduced 13% every 10 years since the 1970s. The Arctic is home to about 25, 000 polar bears. Scientists have known that the animals are in danger. But the study also notes that it is still possible to slow Arctic melting. The world can reduce the burning of fossil fuels (石化燃料) and lower the greenhouse gas. “Saving the polar bears is up to us, I believe that there is hope. But humans need to act quickly to turn that hope into a reality.” Doctor Smith said. 1．Where is this passage most probably from? A．A cookbook. B．A storybook. C．An art magazine.

We know that China wasn’t an early starter in the high-speed rail field. Japan started half a century ago, and Germany did 22 years ago. But China has the largest high-speed railway system (系统) in the world. Here are some advantages of China high-speed trains. First, China high-speed trains do well in speed. For example, the G3 train from Beijing to Shanghai only takes 4 hours and 48 minutes. But a normal-speed train takes more than 15 hours. The travel time between main cities in China has already been reduced. Second, it’s handy for you to book or cancel tickets. There are many high speed trains running during the day, especially between popular cities. You can choose your favorite one according to your plan. It’s easy to cancel or change, if necessary. As we know, airplanes and normal speed trains sometimes will not arrive on time. But high-speed trains always arrive at station on time. This type of trains are less affected (影响) by weather conditions or traffic control. Moreover, traveling by high-speed train can make your trip more comfortable.
