2025年1月初三寒假补课资料 《阅读理解每日一练》 寒假第一天《阅读1》 Mathilde Wittock, a designer from Belgium, makes resting chairs using old tennis balls. She creates them with no wood or plastic. Instead, each of her chairs is made up of 500 tennis balls. It is both stylish and strong. Wittock wants to help protect the environment because many tennis balls are thrown away and don't break down easily.About 300 million tennis balls are produced each year-and almost all of them end up in landfills . It takes them over 400 years to decompose. Big tennis events use a large number of balls, like the U.S. Open with 70,000 and Wimbledon with 55,000. The lifecycle of a ball is not long, which usually lasts for nine games. Wittock receives all her materials from donations, mostly from tennis clubs. It takes Wittock three to four weeks to make a chair. To meet the customers' needs, she cuts and colours the tennis balls by hand to match their rooms. It takes her much hard work and patience to change how the balls look. But creation isn't the only goal. In fact, what's more important to Wittock is what happens to the chair when it's old. At the end of her chair's life, she takes it apart and recycles the tennis balls. The fuzz is burned off, and the ball is cut into pieces to make bouncy mats for kids to play on. In this way, nothing goes to waste. 1. What does Mathilde Wittock use to make a resting chair? A. Plastic bottles. B. Used tennis balls. C. Recycled glasses. D. Old wooden boxes. 2. What does the underlined word decompose in paragraph 2 probably mean? A. To become chairs. B. To wash away the landfills. C. To grow from land. D. To divide into smaller parts. 3. What can be learned about tennis balls from paragraph 2? A. They are helpful to the environment. B. Fewer balls should be used in big matches. C. Many balls are needed in big tennis events. D. About 300 million balls are made each month. 4. Where does Wittock get most of the tennis balls for her chairs? A. From landfills. B. From her customers. C. From tennis clubs. D. From some charities. 5. What's the last paragraph mainly about? A. How to continuously reduce waste. B. How to make tennis balls into mats. C. How to improve the design of chairs. D. How to take tennis balls apart quickly. 寒假第一天《答案解析》：ACBDA 寒假第二天《阅读2》 Today China is the world's biggest eater of wheat. But it wasn't always that way. Wheat only came to northern China toward the end of the Neolithic period, some 4600 years ago. In the beginning, wheat didn't seem to be so delicious and had been treated as crop of real need other than a cooking pleasure. The first farmers of northern China started to grow millet as early as 11500 years ago. By the time of the Tang Dynasty, wheat had become a major crop. But little was known about exactly why this change happened. To look for the answer, I collected nearly 1200 data points covering more than 50 places from the mid-Neolithic, about 9000 years ago, to the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty in 220AD. The places were across 8 modem provinces from Gansu Province in the northwest to Shandong Province in the east. One possible explanation is a major climate change, called the Holocene Event 3, which happened 4000 to 4500 years ago. At that time, the climate became colder and drier across the land, causing less and less crop production. Besides this, the late Neolithic period was also a time of rapid population growth around the world. With an increasing population and unsteady crop production, it is reasonable to imagine that Neolithic farmers in northern China were trying hard to live. Wheat, it turns out, actually needs more water than millet, making it seem a poor choice for a dry period of history. But importantly, it can be sowed after millet has been harvested.That, we think, is the most likely reason why the people across northern China started to grow wheat. 1. What can we learn about wheat from paragraph 2? A. It was a poor choice at the beginning. B.It was grown in China 11500 years ago. C. It was the earliest crop grown in Chine D. It replaced millet for its great taste. 2. What does the number in Paragraph 3 show? A. The writer did research widely. B. The writer did the research alone. C. The writer found the exact answer. D. The writer was good at collecting data. 3. What was probably the main reason to grow wheat in North China? A. The harvest of millet was not pleasing. B. The water there was enough at that time. C. It needed better weather conditions there. D. It was a proper sowing season after millet. 4. What is the passage mainly about ? A. How millet was introduced into China B. How China became the biggest wheat eater. C. Why Chinese farmers turned to grow wheat. D. Why wheat growth was affected by climate. 5. What is the structure of the passage? A. ①/②③④/⑤⑥ B.①②/③/④⑤⑥ C.①/②③④⑤/⑥ D. ①②③/④⑤/⑥ 寒假第二天《答案解析》：AADCB 寒假第三天《阅读3》 Scientists once did an interesting study.They put a mother in one place.They put her two-year-old child in another place.There was a telephone line between them. Soon,the mother and child were talking to each other.The mother and child,in this science study,were dolphins. Dolphins are interesting animals.Many types of dolphins live in large societies. They have many different relationships and need a good communication system.That explains why they need to speak up. Scientists have known for a long time that animals can "talk"with each other.But dolphins have a special way of talking.When they are in a group,they mainly use different sounds to express purposes. Scientists believe that the dolphins really are talking.However,they don't know what exactly the dolphins are saying. Recently at Kewalo University in Hawaii,researchers have had some amazing results.Not only do the dolphins understand the meaning of human words, they also understand the importance of word order. For example,when they were asked to "touch the ball with your tail and then jump over it",they could perform the actions in the correct order. Dolphins use body language,too.They "tell"something to another dolphin by moving their body in a special way.They also do it by opening and closing their mouths quickly. Scientists hope to understand more about the dolphin language.They still have a lot to find out about these animals and so there are certain to be a few surprises in the future. 1.How does the writer introduce the topic? A.By giving facts. B.By listing numbers. C.By describing a scene. D.By raising a question. 2.Why do dolphins need to talk? A.Because they are interesting animals. B.Because they mainly live by themselves. C.Because they communicate in large societies. D.Because they stay with different kinds of animals 3.What can we learn about the language of dolphins? A. It includes sounds and body language. B. It is the same as the human language. C. Scientists have learned it well so far. D. It does not require a word order. 4.What does the word "it"refer to in Paragraph 5? A. Open and close mouths. B.Use sounds to talk. C. Move the body differently. D.Use body language to tell. 5.Where can we probably find the passage? A.In a history book. B.In a science magazine. C.In a travel review. D.In a language guide. 寒假第三天《答案解析》：CCADB 寒假第四天《阅读4》 Can 13-year-olds do something to change the world? Cris Kesz Valdez,13,from the Philippines believes so.

"Taking care of these stray dogs and cats isn't very easy," Xie said. The work of the club members includes cleaning the kennel, bathing the dogs, and taking them to animal hospitals to have a health examination.

If you area member of a sports team, you may feel stressed in a match. That's because coaches, parents and friends place high expectations upon you.This may make it hard for you to do your best. Is it a bad thing for others to have high expectations of you? Not necessarily! Sometimes it just shows they believe in you. But when expectations are impossible to meet, they have a bad effect. They may hurt your self-esteem or make you lose confidence. Can expectations influence you in a good way? Of course! A researcher named Robert Rosenthal first studied this in 1964.He carried out a test at a primary school. First, he chose a group of students at random .Then, he told teachers at the school that those students were highly likely to succeed. He said those students. IQs would rise quickly in the coming years. Then, Rosenthal followed those students for two years. He found that, when teachers expected those students to do well, that's exactly what happened. He concluded that teachers’ higher expectations influenced those students’ learning. Rosenthal found that teachers acted differently toward students when they held higher expectations for them. For example, they gave these kids more time to think about questions. They also gave more support and chances to those students. It's important to hold high but proper expectations for people. Start by getting to know those around you and understanding their dreams.Then, support them by holding proper expectations.Everyone can benefit from the expectations of their friends, family members and teachers. 1.

"We enjoy trying new things that are good for our bodies and minds. We like to overcome challenges like these.

Nat Geo Kids takes you behind the scenes of the wildest"restaurant" ever. Most animals aren’t "ordering" the same dish. Their food is based on what they need to stay healthy. Nutritionists use a digital program to prepare each animal's daily diet. “Some animals are growing, and others need to lose weight," Coleman says. “It's not as simple as giving every animal the same meal." After the diet is decided, the "chefs" deal with items that need to be broken down, like large pieces of fruit. Then they weigh the food to make sure each animal is getting the right amount of food. Finally, they put the meals into boxes so the food can be transported to the animals across the park. Keepers watch the animals to record what they like and what they don't. " Our bats love most fruit," keeper Erica Hoffstadt says. "But they can't stand strawberries!" Notes like these are shared with the nutritionists so they can displace food for picky eaters. 1. What possibly may the workers do at 5 a.m. in Disney World Resort? A.They feed the pickiest animals. B. They train different creatures. C.They prepare meals for the animals. D. They order food for the animals. 2. How do the nutritionists prepare each animal's daily diet? A. By judging the need of each animal. B. By setting up a deliver program. C.By making the same balanced diet. D. By providing a large amount of food. 3. How many steps does it take to prepare food according to paragraph 2 and 3? A.Two. B.Three. C. Four. D. Five. 4. What can we learn from the last paragraph? A. Strawberries are bats’ favourite fruit. B. Keepers give advice on animals’ diet. C. Erica always shares notes with the bats. D.

It was a text from an unfamiliar number, showing a photo of a smiling man in his 30s.“What a strange picture to receive!”, I thought to myself. For the past three years, I have been getting texts meant for this man, Jared. When the second text came, I was a playful sixth grader. "My Mom just told me that the Football Club will host a free barbeque dinner on Saturday! Hope you all will enjoy it", it said. "YUMMMY!" I carefully responded. The story of Jared became deeper. I learned that he was part of the "Bowery Mission," which sounded like a gaming group. Looking it up, I realized it was an organization that helped poor families.This was around the same time I stopped volunteering in my community, I spent more time taking art classes and trying different sports. I then joined the group texts. When a message came about donating food, I texted back, "Count me in!" However, I started to feel bad about this lie. A man sent a long message, talking about the hopeless moments in his life. As I imagined what a good friend Jared could be, I felt ashamed that I was unable to provide the support this man needed and realized that I was not even a good listener to my own friends.Throughout this time, I noticed how much Jared's life has changed and I have also been discovering who I am. Learning from Jared, I have grown out of the naughty self, made more efforts for my community, and become a more understanding friend. Last month, I received another text. Yet, I replied:"Hey, sorry, this is-not Jared, but I hope he is doing well." 1. According to the passage, who is Jared? A. A man who received the photo. B. A man who sent the first message C.
