Jiarui started to help with the housework when she was a little girl. When she was 8, she asked her dad to teach her to cook after school. Now she can cook more than 50 dishes, which is not easy—even for an adult. “It’s quite necessary for her to learn to cook because cooking can help her take good care of herself,” says Jiarui’s father. Jiarui is well known for cooking in her school. A new cooking course was set up for her by the school last term. Jiarui is a teacher in the cooking class and teaches her classmates to make simple dishes. The students were only a bit curious about cooking at first, but now, all of them find that cooking is really pleasant. “I think cooking is as important as learning and I hope more and more teenagers will enjoy cooking,” says Jiarui. Sun Jiarui’s school is not the only one to open a cooking course in China. In fact, in September 2022, students from primary and middle schools in China found a new labor course in their school timetable, with at least one class every week. The new course has three kinds of tasks, including everyday chores (家务), productive labor (生产劳动) and volunteer work.

Born into a kite-making family, Yang often saw kites with bright colors and different shapes in her grandfather’s workshop. Having a special connection with kites, Yang learned the technique from her grandfather at the age of 16. After practising the technique for 10 years, she started her own shop in 1992. “Many places around the world have a tradition of flying kites,” Yang said. “But I think the cultural idea behind our kites is special.” So, she tries to make special kites with prints telling Chinese stories. For example, she once made a kite with pictures of 50 famous women in Chinese history on each side. Each woman is different in look, clothes and makeup. She spent much effort and time checking historical records and discussing the details with experts(专家). Besides, she also travels abroad to tell the stories of Chinese kites and the ways they are made. Since the 1990s, she has been to many other countries, including Germany, Australia, the US and New Zealand. “It is an important job of mine to spread our traditional culture around the world and on to the children.

The palace was built in 641 by Songtsen Gampo to honor (尊敬) his wife—Princess Wencheng of the Tang Empire. It stands there to remind both the Han people and the Tibetans of a beautiful story. The story began with a 16-year-old girl, who was charming (迷人的), well-read and full of imaginations of the faraway lands. She was Princess Wencheng in the Tang Dynasty. Songtsen Gampo, the head of the Tubo Kingdom, wanted to build a good relationship with the Tang Dynasty, so he asked to marry one of the emperor’s daughters. Finally, in the year of 640 the emperor agreed. Princess Wencheng was the one chosen for this marriage. She started her journey to the land of Tubo with no regret. As Princess Wencheng arrived in Lhasa, a great ceremony was held to welcome her to her new home—the Potala Palace. Not only was the Tang Princess a good wife, she was also a cultural ambassador (大使). She brought some musicians to play Tang’s court music. She taught her husband and his men Chinese language. She helped Tibetans to learn paper making, wine making and so on. Songtsen Gampo was so glad that he sent groups and groups of young Tibetans to Chang’an, the capital of the Tang Dynasty to communicate with the Hans (汉人). Princess Wencheng lived in Lhasa for about 40 years. She had never left Tibet before. She died in 680. The Tibetans miss her so much. They built a temple in the late seventh century to honor her, which is now a historical place that has been kept for more than 1,300 years. 根据上面短文内容回答下列问题。(第1、2答案不超过4个词；3题不超过10个词) 1．Why did Songtsen Gampo build the Potala Palace? 2．How long did Princess Wencheng live in Lhasa? 3．Was Princess Wencheng a cultural ambassador?

Today, I’d like to recommend Song of Autumn, one of the poems by Liu Yuxi (772-842), a famous poet and writer in the mid Tang dynasty. Just as shown in the first line of the poem, most ancient poets liked to describe autumn as a sad time, but in this poem the season appears differently. In Liu’s eyes, autumn, full of life and hope, is even better than spring morning. He describes the bright scene of a crane riding the clouds and flying into the blue sky. With his poems paying special attention to expressing personal feelings, as well as the daily life of common people, Liu wrote poems with beautiful music-like words. You may feel it in this poem. Though being translated thoughtfully by experienced Xu Yuanchong, the poem still reads not so beautifully as that in Chinese. I personally think that English is sometimes not so powerful as Chinese. 1．What is autumn like in Liu’s Song of Autumn? 2．How did Liu make poems read beautifully? 3．Which season do you like better, spring or autumn? Why? B 请认真阅读下面短文，用英文回答后面的问题。 My 100 Days Without a Mobile Phone When was the last time you left home without your mobile phone? Can you imagine yourself living a month, or even a year without checking your mobile phone from time to time? As a busy modern person with lots of social connections, plans and responsibilities, I just cannot afford to not be in touch with the rest of the world. Staying connected to other people is a big part of my life. However, sometimes it can be bothersome (恼人的). One day I discovered I was terribly tired out. I tried turning notifications (通知) off. But the fear of missing out something important made me check the phone more often than before. So, I simply stopped using my phone. Well, to tell the truth, it was not simple at all. For the first couple of days, I had a big fear that all of my friends would soon forget about me. When I had a free moment, I had no idea what to get myself distracted (分心的) with, and the worries mixed with boredom kept bothering me. However, after three weeks without a mobile phone, I started noticing changes — changes which I liked, and which drove me to not just continue the experiment, but in fact to reorganize some of my habits. First of all, I noticed that I became much more focused (专注的). Before, while doing something, I would often find myself wondering what was going on online. After a month of staying away from my mobile phone, I found that the urge (冲动) was already not that strong and that my ability to focus improved. I discovered that the world is a beautiful place. Before, I would look at it through my camera mostly: take a photo, post it, get some likes. Now, I saw beautiful people walking around and I sensed the seasons change. I could understand the actual beauty of the world, and I did not need anyone else to prove the value of this beauty through likes or shares. Now, as 100 days have passed, I can say that the experiment was worth it. I am planning to stay away from my phone for as long as possible. 1．Why did the writer check the phone more often than before when he was terribly tired out? 2．What changes did the writer have after three weeks without a mobile phone? 3．（开放性设问）Would you like to follow the writer’s example? Why or why not? (Please give two reasons.) C Paying for bus rides with plastic usually makes people think of plastic bus cards. But one Indonesian city has decided to accept plastic recyclable waste in place of money for city buses. Surabaya, Indonesia’s second largest city, located on the eastern end of the country’s main island Java, made this decision in April, 2018. Now, locals can pay for their bus rides by putting plastic cups or bottles directly on the bus. A two-hour bus ride costs 10 plastic cups or 5 bottles. Indonesia is the second largest ocean plastic polluter, producing up to 2.4 million tons of plastic waste into the oceans every year according to a report. Only in Surabaya nearly 400 tons of plastic waste is produced every day. The head of Surabaya’s transportation department said, “With this decision, we hope to raise public awareness about environment, especially people’s awareness about plastic waste.” Each city bus can collect up to 550 pounds of plastic bottles and cups every day. The collected bottles are sold to recycling companies and the money earned from it goes toward running the bus companies and providing money for green spaces in the city. This is certainly turning rubbish into a national treasure. The decision is part of the city’s purpose to become plastic waste-free by 2020. In order to encourage local people to take buses, the city also added the new Suroboyo buses. The new buses are air-conditioned, comfortable and easy for elderly and disabled passengers to get on and off. The programme is well received. People in Surabaya said, “We can reduce waste so it doesn’t pile up at home because we can make good use of it. It is a win-win situation.” This type of programme can be a model for other cities worldwide and encourage citizens to recycle their plastic waste. 1．How much plastic waste does a two-hour bus ride cost? 2．What are the new Suroboyo buses like? 3．Do you think this programme in Surabaya is useful? Why? 【答案】 1．10 plastic cups or 5 bottles. 2．The new buses are air-conditioned, comfortable and easy for elderly and disabled passengers to get on and off. 3．Yes, I do. Because it can reduce waste and people can make use of it. It is a win-win situation.（答案合理即可） 【难度】0.4 【知识点】说明文、环境保护 【导语】本文讲述了印尼第二大城市泗水决定接受可回收的塑料垃圾来代替城市巴士的钱，这项计划可以成为世界其他城市的典范，鼓励市民回收塑料垃圾。 1．根据“two-hour bus ride costs 10 plastic cups or 5 bottles.”可知坐两小时的巴士要花10个塑料杯或5个塑料瓶，故填10 plastic cups or 5 bottles. 2．根据“The new buses are air-conditioned, comfortable and easy for elderly and disabled passengers to get on and off”可知，新型公共汽车装有空调，老年人和残疾人上下车舒适方便 ，故填The new buses are air-conditioned, comfortable and easy for elderly and disabled passengers to get on and off. 3．开放性题，答案合理即可。根据“We can reduce waste so it doesn’t pile up at home because we can make good use of it. It is a win-win situation.”可知，我们可以减少浪费，人们可以充分利用和回收垃圾，这是一个双赢的局面。参考答案为：Yes, I do. Because it can reduce waste and people can make use of it. It is a win-win situation. 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 焦点09 任务型阅读 备战2025年中考英语新课标（核心素养）一轮复习之题型特训 【基础题】 A 请认真阅读下面短文，根据短文内容用英语回答3个题目。 Nowadays, more and more people prefer to cook at home by themselves instead of ordering takeouts.

In Liu’s eyes, autumn, full of life and hope, is even better than spring morning. He describes the bright scene of a crane riding the clouds and flying into the blue sky. With his poems paying special attention to expressing personal feelings, as well as the daily life of common people, Liu wrote poems with beautiful music-like words. You may feel it in this poem. Though being translated thoughtfully by experienced Xu Yuanchong, the poem still reads not so beautifully as that in Chinese. I personally think that English is sometimes not so powerful as Chinese. 1．What is autumn like in Liu’s Song of Autumn? 2．How did Liu make poems read beautifully? 3．Which season do you like better, spring or autumn? Why? 【答案】 1． Autumn is full of life and hope. 2． Liu wrote poems with beautiful music-like words. 3．I like spring. Because spring is sunny and full of vitality. 【难度】0.4 【知识点】历史人物、中华文化、诗歌/小说 【导语】本文介绍著名诗人刘禹锡的诗歌——《秋词》，从诗歌中展现出刘禹锡的个人特色以及作者的感悟。 1．根据“In Liu’s eyes, autumn, full of life and hope, is even better than spring morning.”可知，在刘的眼中，秋天是充满希望的。故填Autumn is full of life and hope. 2．根据“Liu wrote poems with beautiful music-like words.”可知，刘用优美的乐声写诗。故填Liu wrote poems with beautiful music-like words. 3．开放性试题，答案合理即可。参考答案为：我喜欢春天。因为春天阳光明媚，生机盎然。故填I like spring.

Can you imagine yourself living a month, or even a year without checking your mobile phone from time to time? As a busy modern person with lots of social connections, plans and responsibilities, I just cannot afford to not be in touch with the rest of the world. Staying connected to other people is a big part of my life. However, sometimes it can be bothersome (恼人的). One day I discovered I was terribly tired out. I tried turning notifications (通知) off. But the fear of missing out something important made me check the phone more often than before. So, I simply stopped using my phone. Well, to tell the truth, it was not simple at all. For the first couple of days, I had a big fear that all of my friends would soon forget about me. When I had a free moment, I had no idea what to get myself distracted (分心的) with, and the worries mixed with boredom kept bothering me. However, after three weeks without a mobile phone, I started noticing changes — changes which I liked, and which drove me to not just continue the experiment, but in fact to reorganize some of my habits. First of all, I noticed that I became much more focused (专注的). Before, while doing something, I would often find myself wondering what was going on online. After a month of staying away from my mobile phone, I found that the urge (冲动) was already not that strong and that my ability to focus improved. I discovered that the world is a beautiful place. Before, I would look at it through my camera mostly: take a photo, post it, get some likes. Now, I saw beautiful people walking around and I sensed the seasons change. I could understand the actual beauty of the world, and I did not need anyone else to prove the value of this beauty through likes or shares. Now, as 100 days have passed, I can say that the experiment was worth it. I am planning to stay away from my phone for as long as possible. 1．Why did the writer check the phone more often than before when he was terribly tired out? 2．What changes did the writer have after three weeks without a mobile phone? 3．（开放性设问）Would you like to follow the writer’s example? Why or why not? (Please give two reasons.) 【答案】 1． Because of the fear of missing out something important. 2． He had two changes—He became much more focused and he found the world is a beautiful place through his own eyes. 3．Yes, I’d like to. Because I also want to be more focused, and I would like to see the beautiful world through my eyes.

But one Indonesian city has decided to accept plastic recyclable waste in place of money for city buses. Surabaya, Indonesia’s second largest city, located on the eastern end of the country’s main island Java, made this decision in April, 2018. Now, locals can pay for their bus rides by putting plastic cups or bottles directly on the bus. A two-hour bus ride costs 10 plastic cups or 5 bottles. Indonesia is the second largest ocean plastic polluter, producing up to 2.4 million tons of plastic waste into the oceans every year according to a report. Only in Surabaya nearly 400 tons of plastic waste is produced every day. The head of Surabaya’s transportation department said, “With this decision, we hope to raise public awareness about environment, especially people’s awareness about plastic waste.” Each city bus can collect up to 550 pounds of plastic bottles and cups every day. The collected bottles are sold to recycling companies and the money earned from it goes toward running the bus companies and providing money for green spaces in the city. This is certainly turning rubbish into a national treasure. The decision is part of the city’s purpose to become plastic waste-free by 2020. In order to encourage local people to take buses, the city also added the new Suroboyo buses. The new buses are air-conditioned, comfortable and easy for elderly and disabled passengers to get on and off. The programme is well received. People in Surabaya said, “We can reduce waste so it doesn’t pile up at home because we can make good use of it. It is a win-win situation.” This type of programme can be a model for other cities worldwide and encourage citizens to recycle their plastic waste. 1．How much plastic waste does a two-hour bus ride cost? 2．What are the new Suroboyo buses like? 3．Do you think this programme in Surabaya is useful? Why? 【答案】 1．10 plastic cups or 5 bottles. 2．The new buses are air-conditioned, comfortable and easy for elderly and disabled passengers to get on and off. 3．Yes, I do. Because it can reduce waste and people can make use of it. It is a win-win situation.（答案合理即可） 【难度】0.4 【知识点】说明文、环境保护 【导语】本文讲述了印尼第二大城市泗水决定接受可回收的塑料垃圾来代替城市巴士的钱，这项计划可以成为世界其他城市的典范，鼓励市民回收塑料垃圾。 1．根据“two-hour bus ride costs 10 plastic cups or 5 bottles.”可知坐两小时的巴士要花10个塑料杯或5个塑料瓶，故填10 plastic cups or 5 bottles. 2．根据“The new buses are air-conditioned, comfortable and easy for elderly and disabled passengers to get on and off”可知，新型公共汽车装有空调，老年人和残疾人上下车舒适方便 ，故填The new buses are air-conditioned, comfortable and easy for elderly and disabled passengers to get on and off. 3．开放性题，答案合理即可。根据“We can reduce waste so it doesn’t pile up at home because we can make good use of it.
