焦点03 阅读理解之说明文 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 Miniaturization (微型化) has been a goal of engineers and designers for a few years. The ever smaller products have included pocket-sized computers and motorbikes which are the size of a backpack. The latest thing is a handbag which can pass through the eye of a needle (针). It has been sold for $63,750 online, according to a post (帖子) made by the company MSCHF on June 14th,2023. “Smaller than a grain of sea salt, this handbag is so small that you’ll need a microscope (显微镜) to see it,” ISCHF wrote in the post. There are big handbags, normal handbags, and small handbags, but this is the final word in bag miniaturization. An object like a handbag is useful, but it becomes smaller and smaller. It is losing its original use until it turns into just a brand. The tiny handbag is 657 by 222 by 700 micrometers and was shown to the public in Paris in June. It was made with high technology which uses 3D printers. MSCHF chose the technology to see how small a handbag they could make. MSCHF’s creative officer Kevin Wiesner was interviewed by The New York Times. “I think the bag is a funny object because it derives from something very functional,” Wiesner said. “But in fact, it has become jewelry (珠宝)”. 1．Why does the first paragraph mention the eye of a needle? A．To explain the handbag’s value. B．To discuss the handbag’s problem. C．To prove how small this handbag is. D．To show how good the handbag looks. 2．What does the underlined word “It” refer to? A．The tiny handbag. B．The microscope. C．The post. D．The technology. 3．According to the passage, MSCHF________. A．is a company that only makes bags B．has made plenty of smaller objects C．thinks miniaturization will be less popular D．used high technology in making the handbag 4．What can be the best title for the passage? A．Some Useless Objects B．MSCHF’s Creative Officers C．A Handbag Smaller than a Grain of Salt D．The Final Word in Computer Miniaturization 5．According to the passage, which statements is NOT true? A．The tiny handbag is a funny object for it derives from something that is functional. B．The tiny handbag has been sold for $63,750 in the local shops. C．Engineers and designers are likely to make the objects smaller. D．The tiny handbag is not useful object instead of jewelry. B Today, almost everyone has a camera. We can take pictures with our cellphones, e-mail photos to our friends, and print out pictures from a computer in a few seconds. Fifty years ago, however, cameras were not as simple to use or available. They used film, which was expensive and had to be processed with special chemicals (化学品) in order to make prints. Then, in 1982, a new type of camera made taking photos easier and more affordable. It was a film camera, but it had a built-in flash and other conveniences. The camera was called the Holga. The Holga camera was made completely of plastic (塑料) . Even the lens (镜头) , which is normally made from high-quality glass on most cameras, was plastic. Plastic is cheaper than metal or glass, so the camera makers could keep the Holga’s price low enough for most people to afford. However, once people began using the Holga, they noticed problems. Sometimes dark spots (斑点) appeared at the corners of the photos. Sometimes the colors that appeared in the photos were different from the colors of the actual objects photographed. The camera’s cheap materials allowed light to get inside the camera and affect the film. Although some customers were upset about these problems, many people liked the strange and often unique (独一无二的) pictures that the camera produced. Professional photographers began using the camera to photograph nature, people, and streets. Even today, in a world filled with great cameras, some people choose the unpredictable Holga to take unique pictures. 1．How does the writer introduce the background of cameras in Paragraph 1? A．By showing camera sales numbers. B．By comparing old and new cameras. C．By talking about people using cameras. D．By telling the story of camera making. 2．Why was the Holga cameras cheap? A．Because they were made of plastic. B．Because they didn’t need film. C．Because they were light and small. D．Because they had a build-in flash. 3．What is the writer’s purpose for writing the passage? A．To introduce the Holga cameras. B．To show how the Holga cameras were made. C．To explain why the Holga cameras were popular. D．To encourage more people to buy Holga cameras. 4．What is the main idea of Paragraph 3? A．The Holga cameras had some problems. B．The Holga was cheaper than other cameras. C．The photos taken by the Holga were more colorful. D．Dark spots appeared in the photo taken by the Holga. 5．What can we infer from the passage? A．Glass lenses don’t have color problems. B．It was easy to take photos fifty years ago. C．People like to buy the Holga cameras as gifts. D．Pictures taken by the Holga cameras are usually special. C How do we know the time? A clock, a watch or a mobile phone can help us. However, many years ago there were no clocks and knowing the time was not so easy. Over the centuries people have developed different ways of telling the time. About 5, 500 years ago, the Egyptians invented the sun clock. This was a tall stone building. Its shadow (影子) showed the movement of the sun. So people were able to know midday. The Egyptians made a sundial about 3, 500 years ago. It was smaller than the sun clock and could let people know the time for half a day. On cloudy days or at night it was impossible to tell the time with a sun clock or a sundial. Water clocks were the first clocks not to use the sun. The idea is simple. Water flows (流动) from one bottle to another. When the water reaches a certain level, it shows the hours. The Egyptians used water clocks about 3, 400 years ago. These clocks were popular in the Middle East and China. But they failed to make people know the exact time. In the 13th century, the mechanical clock was invented. This was more exact, but it was expensive to make one. Over the next few centuries it was developed. For example, springs (发条) were added around 1500. This enabled people to get the correct time and allowed clocks to be smaller. In 1927, the first quartz clock was developed. Clocks became cheaper to build. It’s also cheaper for ordinary people to own a clock. People began depending on them more and more to run businesses, markets and so on. More recently, in 1956, came the digital clock. And nowadays satellites send our mobile phones the time to the exact second. There has been a lot of progress in timekeeping. Clocks are always changing but some things never change. Many of us still have trouble getting out of bed on time and not being late for school or work. 1．According to the passage, we can’t use a ________ to tell the time on a rainy or cloudy day. A．water clock B．sun clock C．digital clock D．mechanical clock 2．How many kinds of clocks are mentioned in the passage? A．Four. B．Five. C．Six. D．Seven. 3．Which of the following shows the structure (结构) of the passage? （ ①＝paragraph 1 ②＝ paragraph 2, …） A． B． C． D． 4．What does the passage mainly talk about? A．The importance of time. B．The development of timekeeping. C．The inventions of clocks. D．The history of a digital clock. 5．According to the passage which sentence is true? A．The sun clock which was a tall stone building told people time by its shadow. B．a sundial could make people know the exact time. C．Water clocks were the first clocks use the sun. D．The first quartz clock was developed in 1956. 【提升题】 A There’s nothing quite like falling sound asleep after a full day of work. Like people, animals need to rest after working hard. Some animals sleep in water. Others dig holes under the ground. Some even sleep high in trees or under leaves. But they all find a way to rest. Some animals in the sea sleep in strange ways. Fish sleep with their eyes open. They seem to look ahead far into the sea while they rest. Sea otters sometimes sleep in beds of the plants that grow in the sea. This keeps them from moving away. Parrotfish blow something from their mouths when they are ready to sleep. Then a bubble (气泡) will be formed around them. The bubble protects them from harm while they sleep. Some animals sleep under the ground. Chipmunks (花栗鼠) sleep curled up (蜷缩) in a ball. Their beds are made of leaves and grass. In winter, they sleep for two weeks and wake up to eat the stored food. Then they go back to sleep for another two weeks before waking up again. Some desert frogs dig underground holes during the hot, dry season. A frog may stay in its hole for months. High above the ground, monkeys find leafy places in trees each evening before they sleep. The tall trees help to keep monkeys safe during the night. Some insects even sleep under the leaf that will be their next meal. A bee may climb down into a flower to rest. When it climbs out the next morning, it is rested and ready for work. 1．What animals blow bubbles when they sleep? A．Sea otters. B．Monkeys. C．Desert frogs. D．Parrotfish. 2．What do we know about chipmunks according to the text? A．They rest with their eyes open. B．They never sleep curled up in a ball. C．They wake up now and then in winter. D．They don’t eat any food during the winter. 3．What is the right order of the animals according to the passage? A．sea otters →fish →parrotfish →frogs →monkeys →chipmunks →bees B．fish →sea otters →parrotfish →chipmunks →frogs →monkeys →bees C．sea otters →fish →chipmunks →frogs →parrotfish →monkeys →bees D．fish →sea otters →parrotfish →chipmunks →monkeys →frogs →bees 4．What is the structure of the passage? (①＝Paragraph 1, ②＝Paragraph 2, …) A． B． C． D． 5．What’s the best title for the text? A．Where animals live? B．Why animals move? C．How animals sleep? D．What animals feed on? B It can be really awkward (尴尬的) if someone sees you talking to yourself. But don’t feel bad about it! Talking to yourself actually has a lot of benefits. You probably know that thinking is good for the brain. It helps us do things like making plans and managing our feelings. Speaking out loud is like showing this quiet inner (内在的) speech can help us do better in different areas like school, sports and work. When encouragement comes from oneself, it adds to self-confidence. A study invited 72 tennis players to take part in some matches. Researchers put the players into two groups: one group that said nothing while playing, and the other that talked to themselves while playing. They found that the self-talkers showed more confidence and played better than those in the silent group. Talking to yourself, especially in the third person, can also help us manage bad feelings. “Referring to (指代) yourself in the third person leads people to think about themselves more similar to how they think about others,” said Jason Moser, a professor from Michigan State University, US. This can help us see things from a different aspect (角度), especially when we’re feeling sad or angry. Self-talking also helps improve memory. Researchers tested four different ways to memorize things: reading silently, reading aloud, listening to someone else read and listening to a recording of oneself reading. Those who read out loud recalled the information the best, researchers said in their study. It’s because the information is likely to become a long-term memory if it is said out loud. 根据材料内容选择最佳答案。 1．________ means “benefits” in Paragraph 1. A．“Strange ideas” B．“Healthy ways” C．“Special needs” D．“Good sides” 2．From Paragraph 3, we know self-talking can help to ________. A．find out who the best players are B．develop a player’s skills C．improve one’s confidence D．change a person’s character 3．Which of the following can help people see things more widely? A．“Is there anything we can do for her?” B．“I have tried my best. Just do what I can.” C．“What can Annie do to make the situation better?” D．“You are the strongest person I’ve ever met.” 4．According to the last paragraph, what can reading out loud help? A．It can help listeners have long-term memory. B．It can help one remember things longer. C．It can help to memorize things very quickly. D．It can make more people know the information. 5．What’s the structure of the text? A． B． C． D． C Two forest fires was controlled in Guiyang city, capital of southwest China’s Guizhou Province. Local government said late on Saturday, no death was reported. The two fires began at 3:00 PM on Friday afternoon in Huaxi of Guiyang City and burned 200 square kilometers, but they were under control, said Jiang Xueming, head of the rescue (救援) team. More than 1,000 firefighters saved people nearby and removed (移开) over 100 tons of materials from a local factory which would be burned easily, Jiang said. The local fire fighting apartment has sent a plane to fight the fires, but it is still unsure when the fires will be put out completely because of the strong wind and dry weather. The fires came a month after Chinese Vice Premier Hui Liangyu warned that China has entered “a very dangerous period during which there is a very high risk of forest fires”, as high temperatures have been hovering over northeast, north and southwest China areas since the beginning of winter last year. “With the arrival of autumn and winter, fire prevention (预防) and control becomes harder, which requires necessary knowledge.” Hui said, “Efforts should be made to prepare for fire prevention and control in important holidays such as Mid-Autumn Festival and National Day.” Hui said, “Ability to put out fires scientifically while making sure of firemen’s safety should also be improved.” 1．Where is the passage most probably from? A．A storybook. B．An art magazine. C．A guidebook. D．A nature magazine. 2．Which of the following added to the difficulty of putting out the fires? A．The people nearby. B．The material in the local factory. C．The strong wind and dry weather. D．It happened in the late evening. 3．What does the underlined word “hovering” in Paragraph 4 probably mean? A．Staying. B．Reducing. C．Taking. D．Touring. 4．How can we prevent fires according to the last paragraph? A．By taking away the materials. B．By controlling the temperatures. C．By learning necessary knowledge. D．By preparing for important holidays. 5．What is the passage mainly about? A．It is very important to prevent and control forest fires. B．Two forest fires were controlled in Guizhou Province. C．Efforts should be made to prevent and control forest fires. D．We need to learn necessary knowledge to control forest fires. 【拔高题】 A ①One morning, I got up early and decided to make an apple pie for my mum. I called my grandma for help, followed a TV program to make jam and waited excitedly. I enjoyed every step so much that I didn’t notice three hours pass by. Although the pie looked terrible and was not that delicious, Mum ate it up and told me it was the best pie that she had ever had. For the first time, I realized that although I didn’t make the pie successfully, I really enjoyed the process. ②The process is important because it brings us something bigger than the result itself. That is, we always have new experiences during the process, which may help us improve our skills or form good relationships with others. If we just concentrate on the result and do not enjoy the process, we will be more likely to feel disappointed and want to give up. As a result, we will never understand the real meaning of success. ③But in this busy world, we see a lot of successful people are in competition. How can we enjoy the process? Well, the question has the answer in itself. ④Don’t always compare yourself with others. First of all, we are all different. And success means different things to us. For some, success means being famous, while for others, it may be health or power. Ride your own ride. ⑤Slow down. You need to stop expecting immediate results in what you do and learn to be patient. Impatience leads to unhappiness. Do it slowly, but never stop. ⑥Reward (奖励) yourself. Divide the process into small steps, and give yourself a reward after completing each of them. Rewarding yourself for small wins can go a long way. For example, if you are in the process of losing weight, enjoy your favorite cake once in a while. 1．How does the writer start the article? A．By giving an example. B．By comparing facts. C．By using old sayings. D．By listing numbers. 2．Why do we often feel disappointed and want to give up when doing things? A．Because we don’t work hard. B．Because we don’t have patience. C．Because we just concentrate on the result. D．Because we are too busy to finish the task. 3．What does the underlined word “process” refer to in Paragraph ①? A．How to cook. B．How to make an apple pie. C．How to pick apples. D．How to make dumplings. 4．Which of the following best shows the structure of the text? A． B． C． D． 5．Which could be the best title for the text? A．Enjoy the Process. B．What Does Success Mean to Us? C．Never Give Up. D．How Can We Achieve Good Results? B These days, people were cheered by the news that the Spring Festival and its practices were added to UNESCO’s Representative List of Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity. The next day, Thursday, December 5,2024, the following items were also. added: Traditional Li textile techniques spinning (纺纱), dyeing (染色), weaving (织布) and embroidering (刺绣), the Qiang New Year festival, and the traditional design and practices for building Chinese wooden arch bridges. Different from the Spring Festival, these items were once on the List of Intangible Cultural Heritage in Need of Urgent Safeguarding because they were at risk of disappearing. Now, thanks to effective protection efforts, they have been moved to the new list. The Li textile techniques have beautiful and natural patterns which show the unique art style of the Li people. The Qiang New Year festival is an important celebration for the Qiang ethnic group. However, fewer people celebrated it over time, making its protection very urgent. The Chinese wooden arch bridges, built using traditional tools and techniques, have also faced challenges due -to rapid urbanization (城市化)。 Experts say protecting intangible cultural heritage (ICH) is about protecting our culture. ICH is often a part of daily life and carries important cultural values. For example, traditions like Li textile techniques and the Qiang festival not only pass down history but also teach meaningful practices. China has made great efforts to protect its ICH. These efforts are not just for China but also to share its culture with the world. As one expert said, cultural heritage belongs not only to us but to future generations. Protecting ICH makes sure that these traditions stay alive and continue to connect people across the world. 1．How many items were added to UNESCO’s Representative List of Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity on Wednesday? A．1 B．4 C．7 D．8 2．What is the difference between the Spring Festival and other ICH mentioned in the passage? A．The Spring Festival is celebrated around the world. B．Other items needed protecting immediately. C．The Spring Festival has more cultural value than the other ICH items. D．The other ICH items were recently discovered. 3．Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage? A．The Li textile techniques show the unique art style of the Han people. B．The reason why Li textile techniques are at risk-is not mentioned. C．Over time, fewer and fewer people celebrate the Qiang New Year festival. D．In the city, we can see wooden arch bridges, here and there. 4．What does the underlined word “carries” probably mean? A．Brings B．Holds C．Loses D．Supports 5．What is the meaning of protecting the ICH? A．To protect cultural traditions and bring people together globally. B．To strengthen national confidence. C．To strengthen cultural confidence D．To learn from the cultural traditions. C Building a country is never easy. It takes hard work from generation (代人) to generation. But how about destroying it? A new report from The Guardian said longtime of climate change can do that, The report said Tuvalu will be the first country to be completely lost due to climate change. Tuvalu is a Pacific island nation with nine islands and 12, 000 people. It has long been at risk from rising sea levels, Now, 40 percent of the area in its capital is underwater at high tide (潮水). By the end of the century, it is believed that all the islands will be underwater, reported Reuters, So many people in Tuvalu have often moved around the country and even to other countries. To help with the problem, the country plans to build its country in the metaverse. The digital (数字化的) country will recreate the same landscape and keep its cultural and historical records, No matter where they live in the real world, the people in this country will have their new identity (身份) and “live” in its online communities. The government hopes to manage and serve them in cyberspace (网络空间). This news made many people in Tuvalu excited. But Li Zuxi, director of the metaverse lab of Qingbo Intelligent Technology, said it may not be the best solution. “Though the digital nation belongs to Tuvalu, it’s still built on a metaverse platform (平台),” said Li, “Now, the metaverse is not mature, which may bring some problems.” He gave us an example. If people from other countries enter the space of the digital country but just show their names, how do people know if they do or do not, truly belong to that country? Li added that instead of trying our best to build digital nations, it’s better to pay attention to saving the real world now. 1．To deal with the problem, Tuvalu plans to ________. A．break the country into several parts B．fight against climate change C．move the country to another island D．build a digital country online 2．What do we know about Tuvalu in the metaverse? A．People can find the same buildings as they are now B．The “new” Tuvalu is larger than the real one. C．It has no records of culture and history D．People of the “new” Tuvalu have no communities 3．What is Li Zuxi’s opinion about the news? A．The metaverse world is safe. B．He fully supports the rebuilding of Tuvalu. C．He calls for more countries to enter the metaverse. D．It’s hard to manage a digital country 4．Which of the followings is NOT true? A．Tuvalu is under the risk of being flooded by sea water B．Many people in Tuvalu have moved to other places. C．People will use their old identities in “new” Tuvalu in the metaverse D．People should take action to save the real world now. 5．Which is the best title of the story? A．Metaverse welcomes all countries B．Build homes in cyberspace C．Recreate online communities D．Make every nation digital 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 焦点03 阅读理解之说明文 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 Miniaturization (微型化) has been a goal of engineers and designers for a few years. The ever smaller products have included pocket-sized computers and motorbikes which are the size of a backpack. The latest thing is a handbag which can pass through the eye of a needle (针).

B．It was easy to take photos fifty years ago. C．People like to buy the Holga cameras as gifts. D．Pictures taken by the Holga cameras are usually special. 【答案】1．B 2．A 3．A 4．A 5．D 【难度】0.85 【知识点】发明与创造、科普知识、说明文 【导语】本文是是一篇说明文。主要讲述了Holga相机的历史、特点及其在摄影界的影响。 1．细节理解题。根据第一段“Today, almost everyone...to make prints.”可知，如今几乎每个人都有一台相机。我们可以用手机拍照，通过电子邮件将照片发送给朋友，并在几秒钟内从电脑上打印出照片。然而，五十年前，相机并不像现在这样简单易用或普及。它们使用胶片，胶片价格昂贵，并且需要用特殊化学品处理才能打印照片。因此，作者通过比较新旧相机来介绍相机的背景。故选B。 2．细节理解题。根据第二段“The Holga camera was made completely of plastic (塑料).”和“Plastic is cheaper than metal or glass, so the camera makers could keep the Holga’s price low enough for most people to afford.”可知，Holga相机完全由塑料制成，塑料比金属或玻璃便宜，因此相机制造商可以将Holga的价格保持在大多数人能够承受的水平。故选A。 3．推理判断题。根据全文内容，文章主要介绍了Holga相机的历史、特点及其在摄影界的影响，特别是它独特的拍摄效果。由此可推断，作者写这篇文章是为了介绍Holga相机。故选A。 4．主旨大意题。根据第三段“However, once people began using the Holga, they noticed problems.”可知，本段主要讲了Holga相机存在一些问题。故选A。 5．推理判断题。根据最后一段“Although some customers were upset about these problems, many people liked the strange and often unique (独一无二的) pictures that the camera produced.”和“Even today, in a world filled with great cameras, some people choose the unpredictable Holga to take unique pictures.”可知，尽管一些顾客对这些问题感到不满，但许多人喜欢这台相机拍摄的奇特且常常独一无二的照片。即使在今天，在这个充满优秀相机的世界里，仍有一些人选择不可预测的Holga来拍摄独特的照片。由此推断，Holga相机拍摄的照片通常是很特别的。故选D。 C How do we know the time? A clock, a watch or a mobile phone can help us. However, many years ago there were no clocks and knowing the time was not so easy. Over the centuries people have developed different ways of telling the time. About 5, 500 years ago, the Egyptians invented the sun clock. This was a tall stone building. Its shadow (影子) showed the movement of the sun. So people were able to know midday. The Egyptians made a sundial about 3, 500 years ago. It was smaller than the sun clock and could let people know the time for half a day. On cloudy days or at night it was impossible to tell the time with a sun clock or a sundial. Water clocks were the first clocks not to use the sun. The idea is simple. Water flows (流动) from one bottle to another. When the water reaches a certain level, it shows the hours. The Egyptians used water clocks about 3, 400 years ago. These clocks were popular in the Middle East and China. But they failed to make people know the exact time. In the 13th century, the mechanical clock was invented. This was more exact, but it was expensive to make one. Over the next few centuries it was developed. For example, springs (发条) were added around 1500. This enabled people to get the correct time and allowed clocks to be smaller. In 1927, the first quartz clock was developed. Clocks became cheaper to build. It’s also cheaper for ordinary people to own a clock. People began depending on them more and more to run businesses, markets and so on. More recently, in 1956, came the digital clock. And nowadays satellites send our mobile phones the time to the exact second. There has been a lot of progress in timekeeping. Clocks are always changing but some things never change. Many of us still have trouble getting out of bed on time and not being late for school or work. 1．According to the passage, we can’t use a ________ to tell the time on a rainy or cloudy day. A．water clock B．sun clock C．digital clock D．mechanical clock 2．How many kinds of clocks are mentioned in the passage? A．Four. B．Five. C．Six. D．Seven. 3．Which of the following shows the structure (结构) of the passage? （ ①＝paragraph 1 ②＝ paragraph 2, …） A． B． C． D． 4．What does the passage mainly talk about? A．The importance of time. B．The development of timekeeping. C．The inventions of clocks. D．The history of a digital clock. 5．According to the passage which sentence is true? A．The sun clock which was a tall stone building told people time by its shadow. B．a sundial could make people know the exact time. C．Water clocks were the first clocks use the sun. D．The first quartz clock was developed in 1956. 【答案】1．B 2．C 3．A 4．B 5．A 【难度】0.85 【知识点】发明与创造、说明文 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了从古至今计时方法的不断演变和进步。 1．细节理解题。根据第段“On cloudy days or at night it was impossible to tell the time with a sun clock or a sundial”可知，在雨天或阴天，我们不能用太阳钟来报时。故选B。 2．推理判断题。文中“…sun clock…sundial…water clock…mechanical clock…quartz clock…digital clock”可知，总共介绍六种时钟。故选C。 3．篇章结构题。第一段引出时钟演变的历史这一话题，第二、三段具体描述了不同历史时期出现的时钟及其优缺点，第四段对时钟演变历史进行了评价；可知，选项A“①—②③—④”结构图正确。故选A。 4．主旨大意题。本文介绍了从古至今计时方法的不断演变和进步；可知选项B“计时技术的发展”符合文意。故选B。 5．推理判断题。根据第二段“This was a tall stone building.

Like people, animals need to rest after working hard. Some animals sleep in water. Others dig holes under the ground. Some even sleep high in trees or under leaves. But they all find a way to rest. Some animals in the sea sleep in strange ways. Fish sleep with their eyes open. They seem to look ahead far into the sea while they rest. Sea otters sometimes sleep in beds of the plants that grow in the sea. This keeps them from moving away. Parrotfish blow something from their mouths when they are ready to sleep. Then a bubble (气泡) will be formed around them. The bubble protects them from harm while they sleep. Some animals sleep under the ground. Chipmunks (花栗鼠) sleep curled up (蜷缩) in a ball. Their beds are made of leaves and grass. In winter, they sleep for two weeks and wake up to eat the stored food. Then they go back to sleep for another two weeks before waking up again. Some desert frogs dig underground holes during the hot, dry season. A frog may stay in its hole for months. High above the ground, monkeys find leafy places in trees each evening before they sleep. The tall trees help to keep monkeys safe during the night. Some insects even sleep under the leaf that will be their next meal. A bee may climb down into a flower to rest. When it climbs out the next morning, it is rested and ready for work. 1．What animals blow bubbles when they sleep? A．Sea otters. B．Monkeys. C．Desert frogs. D．Parrotfish. 2．What do we know about chipmunks according to the text? A．They rest with their eyes open. B．They never sleep curled up in a ball. C．They wake up now and then in winter.

Then a bubble (气泡) will be formed around them.”可知，鹦嘴鱼在准备睡觉时会从嘴里吹出东西形成气泡，故选D。 2．细节理解题。根据“In winter, they sleep for two weeks and wake up to eat the stored food. Then they go back to sleep for another two weeks before waking up again.” 可知，花栗鼠在冬天会时不时地醒来，故选C。 3．细节理解题。根据“Fish sleep with their eyes open.”“Sea otters sometimes sleep in beds of the plants that grow in the sea.”“Parrotfish blow something from their mouths when they are ready to sleep.”“Chipmunks (花栗鼠) sleep curled up (蜷缩) in a ball.”“Some desert frogs dig underground holes during the hot, dry season.”“High above the ground, monkeys find leafy places in trees each evening before they sleep.”“A bee may climb down into a flower to rest.”可知，顺序是fish →sea otters→parrotfish →chipmunks→frogs→monkeys →bees，故选B。 4．篇章结构题。第一段引出动物在不同地方休息的话题；第二、三、四段具体介绍不同环境下动物的睡眠方式。故选B。 5．最佳标题题。文章主要介绍了不同动物的睡眠方式，如鱼睁着眼睛睡、海獭睡在海草床等，所以“How animals sleep?”（动物如何睡觉？）最能概括文章内容，是最合适的标题。故选C。 B It can be really awkward (尴尬的) if someone sees you talking to yourself. But don’t feel bad about it! Talking to yourself actually has a lot of benefits. You probably know that thinking is good for the brain. It helps us do things like making plans and managing our feelings. Speaking out loud is like showing this quiet inner (内在的) speech can help us do better in different areas like school, sports and work. When encouragement comes from oneself, it adds to self-confidence. A study invited 72 tennis players to take part in some matches. Researchers put the players into two groups: one group that said nothing while playing, and the other that talked to themselves while playing. They found that the self-talkers showed more confidence and played better than those in the silent group. Talking to yourself, especially in the third person, can also help us manage bad feelings. “Referring to (指代) yourself in the third person leads people to think about themselves more similar to how they think about others,” said Jason Moser, a professor from Michigan State University, US. This can help us see things from a different aspect (角度), especially when we’re feeling sad or angry. Self-talking also helps improve memory. Researchers tested four different ways to memorize things: reading silently, reading aloud, listening to someone else read and listening to a recording of oneself reading. Those who read out loud recalled the information the best, researchers said in their study. It’s because the information is likely to become a long-term memory if it is said out loud. 根据材料内容选择最佳答案。 1．________ means “benefits” in Paragraph 1. A．“Strange ideas” B．“Healthy ways” C．“Special needs” D．“Good sides” 2．From Paragraph 3, we know self-talking can help to ________. A．find out who the best players are B．develop a player’s skills C．improve one’s confidence D．change a person’s character 3．Which of the following can help people see things more widely? A．“Is there anything we can do for her?” B．“I have tried my best. Just do what I can.” C．“What can Annie do to make the situation better?” D．“You are the strongest person I’ve ever met.” 4．According to the last paragraph, what can reading out loud help? A．It can help listeners have long-term memory. B．It can help one remember things longer. C．It can help to memorize things very quickly. D．It can make more people know the information. 5．What’s the structure of the text? A． B． C． D． 【答案】1．D 2．C 3．C 4．B 5．A 【难度】0.65 【知识点】方法/策略、说明文、自我管理 【导语】本文主要讲述的是自我对话的好处。它帮助我们思考、计划和管理我们的感受，帮助我们增强自信心。 1．词句猜测题。根据“It can be really awkward if someone sees you talking to yourself. But don’t feel bad about it! Talking to yourself actually has a lot of benefits.”可知，如果有人看到你自言自语，那真的很尴尬。但是不要为此感到难过！因此推测“benefits”在这里指的是“好处”或“优点”，所以“Good sides”符合题意。故选D。 2．细节理解题。根据“When encouragement comes from oneself, it adds to self-confidence.”可知，自言自语可以帮助提高一个人的自信心。故选C。 3．推理判断题。根据“Talking to yourself, especially in the third person, can also help us manage bad feelings...This can help us see things from a different aspect (角度), especially when we’re feeling sad or angry.”可知，自言自语，尤其是用第三人称，也能帮助我们控制不好的感觉，这可以帮助我们从不同的角度看问题。C选项“What can Annie do to make the situation better?”是用第三人称提问。故选C。 4．细节理解题。根据“Those who read out loud recalled the information the best, researchers said in their study. It’s because the information is likely to become a long-term memory if it is said out loud.”可知，朗读可以帮助人们长久地记住信息。故选B。 5．篇章结构题。文章第一段引出话题，第二段总述自言自语的好处；第三、四、五段分别阐述了自我对话的好处。故选A。 C Two forest fires was controlled in Guiyang city, capital of southwest China’s Guizhou Province. Local government said late on Saturday, no death was reported. The two fires began at 3:00 PM on Friday afternoon in Huaxi of Guiyang City and burned 200 square kilometers, but they were under control, said Jiang Xueming, head of the rescue (救援) team. More than 1,000 firefighters saved people nearby and removed (移开) over 100 tons of materials from a local factory which would be burned easily, Jiang said. The local fire fighting apartment has sent a plane to fight the fires, but it is still unsure when the fires will be put out completely because of the strong wind and dry weather. The fires came a month after Chinese Vice Premier Hui Liangyu warned that China has entered “a very dangerous period during which there is a very high risk of forest fires”, as high temperatures have been hovering over northeast, north and southwest China areas since the beginning of winter last year. “With the arrival of autumn and winter, fire prevention (预防) and control becomes harder, which requires necessary knowledge.” Hui said, “Efforts should be made to prepare for fire prevention and control in important holidays such as Mid-Autumn Festival and National Day.” Hui said, “Ability to put out fires scientifically while making sure of firemen’s safety should also be improved.” 1．Where is the passage most probably from? A．A storybook. B．An art magazine. C．A guidebook. D．A nature magazine. 2．Which of the following added to the difficulty of putting out the fires? A．The people nearby. B．The material in the local factory. C．The strong wind and dry weather. D．It happened in the late evening. 3．What does the underlined word “hovering” in Paragraph 4 probably mean? A．Staying. B．Reducing. C．Taking. D．Touring. 4．How can we prevent fires according to the last paragraph? A．By taking away the materials. B．By controlling the temperatures. C．By learning necessary knowledge. D．By preparing for important holidays. 5．What is the passage mainly about? A．It is very important to prevent and control forest fires. B．Two forest fires were controlled in Guizhou Province. C．Efforts should be made to prevent and control forest fires. D．We need to learn necessary knowledge to control forest fires. 【答案】1．D 2．C 3．A 4．C 5．C 【难度】0.65 【知识点】自然灾害与防范、科普知识、环境保护、方法/策略、说明文 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要讲述了贵州省贵阳市发生的两起森林火灾相关情况。 1．推理判断题。根据文章内容主要围绕森林火灾展开，介绍了贵州贵阳的森林火灾情况以及相关应对措施等，这属于自然方面的内容，A nature magazine“自然杂志”最有可能刊登此类文章。故选D。 2．细节理解题。根据“but it is still unsure when the fires will be put out completely because of the strong wind and dry weather”可知，大风和干燥的天气使得火灾难以完全扑灭。故选C。 3．词义猜测题。根据“as high temperatures have been hovering over northeast, north and southwest China areas since the beginning of winter last year”结合语境可知，这里说的是自去年年初以来，高温一直停留在中国东北、华北和西南地区，“hovering”与staying“停留，保持”的意思。故选A。 4．细节理解题。根据“Efforts should be made to prepare for fire prevention and control in important holidays such as Mid - Autumn Festival and National Day.”以及“Ability to put out fires scientifically while making sure of firemen’s safety should also be improved.”可知，要通过学习必要的知识来预防火灾，比如了解在不同节日如何防控、提高科学灭火及保障消防员安全的能力等知识。故选C。 5．主旨大意题。文章先介绍了贵州的森林火灾情况，接着引用中国国务院副总理回良玉的话强调中国进入森林火灾高风险期，最后说明防火防灾需要必要知识以及要提高各方面能力来应对森林火灾，整体围绕应努力预防和控制森林火灾展开。故选C 。 【拔高题】 A ①One morning, I got up early and decided to make an apple pie for my mum. I called my grandma for help, followed a TV program to make jam and waited excitedly. I enjoyed every step so much that I didn’t notice three hours pass by. Although the pie looked terrible and was not that delicious, Mum ate it up and told me it was the best pie that she had ever had. For the first time, I realized that although I didn’t make the pie successfully, I really enjoyed the process. ②The process is important because it brings us something bigger than the result itself. That is, we always have new experiences during the process, which may help us improve our skills or form good relationships with others. If we just concentrate on the result and do not enjoy the process, we will be more likely to feel disappointed and want to give up. As a result, we will never understand the real meaning of success. ③But in this busy world, we see a lot of successful people are in competition. How can we enjoy the process? Well, the question has the answer in itself. ④Don’t always compare yourself with others. First of all, we are all different. And success means different things to us. For some, success means being famous, while for others, it may be health or power. Ride your own ride. ⑤Slow down. You need to stop expecting immediate results in what you do and learn to be patient. Impatience leads to unhappiness. Do it slowly, but never stop. ⑥Reward (奖励) yourself. Divide the process into small steps, and give yourself a reward after completing each of them. Rewarding yourself for small wins can go a long way. For example, if you are in the process of losing weight, enjoy your favorite cake once in a while. 1．How does the writer start the article? A．By giving an example. B．By comparing facts. C．By using old sayings. D．By listing numbers. 2．Why do we often feel disappointed and want to give up when doing things? A．Because we don’t work hard. B．Because we don’t have patience. C．Because we just concentrate on the result. D．Because we are too busy to finish the task. 3．What does the underlined word “process” refer to in Paragraph ①? A．How to cook. B．How to make an apple pie. C．How to pick apples. D．How to make dumplings. 4．Which of the following best shows the structure of the text? A． B． C． D． 5．Which could be the best title for the text? A．Enjoy the Process. B．What Does Success Mean to Us? C．Never Give Up. D．How Can We Achieve Good Results? 【答案】1．A 2．C 3．B 4．C 5．A 【难度】0.4 【知识点】哲理感悟、说明文 【导语】本文讲述了作者为妈妈做苹果派的经历引出过程的重要性这一主旨，阐述了过程能带来新体验，帮助提升技能、建立良好关系，只关注结果易失望放弃，进而说明在忙碌世界中享受过程的方法，如不与他人比较、慢下来、奖励自己等，强调要享受做事的过程。 1．推理判断题。文章第一段讲述了作者早起为妈妈做苹果派，虽然派看起来糟糕且味道不好，但妈妈很开心，作者也享受了这个过程。这是通过一个具体的事例来引出下文关于过程重要性的讨论，所以作者是通过举例子的方式开始这篇文章的。故选A。 2．细节理解题。根据第二段“If we just concentrate on the result and do not enjoy the process, we will be more likely to feel disappointed and want to give up.”可知，如果我们只专注于结果而不享受过程，我们就更有可能感到失望并想要放弃；因此，我们在做事时经常感到失望并想放弃是因为我们只专注于结果。故选C。 3．词义猜测题。根据第一段“I called my grandma for help, followed a TV program to make jam and waited excitedly. I enjoyed every step so much that I didn’t notice three hours pass by.”可知，作者详细描述了自己为妈妈做苹果派的过程，包括打电话向奶奶求助、跟着电视节目做果酱、等待等；据此可以推断，划线单词“process”指的是“如何制作苹果派”的过程。故选B。 4．篇章结构题。文章第一段通过作者做苹果派的例子引出“过程很重要”的话题；第二段进一步阐述过程重要的原因；第三段提出在这个忙碌的世界里如何享受过程的问题；第四段指出不要总是和别人比较，第五段强调要慢下来，要有耐心，第六段说明要奖励自己，这三段都是在讲如何享受过程；因此，选项C结构图符合题意。故选C。 5．最佳标题题。综合全文可知，本文主要围绕“过程”展开，先通过例子引出过程重要的观点，然后阐述过程重要的原因以及如何享受过程，即选项A“享受过程”最适合作为文章的标题。故选A。 B These days, people were cheered by the news that the Spring Festival and its practices were added to UNESCO’s Representative List of Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity. The next day, Thursday, December 5,2024, the following items were also. added: Traditional Li textile techniques spinning (纺纱), dyeing (染色), weaving (织布) and embroidering (刺绣), the Qiang New Year festival, and the traditional design and practices for building Chinese wooden arch bridges. Different from the Spring Festival, these items were once on the List of Intangible Cultural Heritage in Need of Urgent Safeguarding because they were at risk of disappearing. Now, thanks to effective protection efforts, they have been moved to the new list. The Li textile techniques have beautiful and natural patterns which show the unique art style of the Li people. The Qiang New Year festival is an important celebration for the Qiang ethnic group. However, fewer people celebrated it over time, making its protection very urgent. The Chinese wooden arch bridges, built using traditional tools and techniques, have also faced challenges due -to rapid urbanization (城市化)。 Experts say protecting intangible cultural heritage (ICH) is about protecting our culture. ICH is often a part of daily life and carries important cultural values. For example, traditions like Li textile techniques and the Qiang festival not only pass down history but also teach meaningful practices. China has made great efforts to protect its ICH. These efforts are not just for China but also to share its culture with the world. As one expert said, cultural heritage belongs not only to us but to future generations. Protecting ICH makes sure that these traditions stay alive and continue to connect people across the world. 1．How many items were added to UNESCO’s Representative List of Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity on Wednesday? A．1 B．4 C．7 D．8 2．What is the difference between the Spring Festival and other ICH mentioned in the passage? A．The Spring Festival is celebrated around the world. B．Other items needed protecting immediately. C．The Spring Festival has more cultural value than the other ICH items. D．The other ICH items were recently discovered. 3．Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage? A．The Li textile techniques show the unique art style of the Han people. B．The reason why Li textile techniques are at risk-is not mentioned. C．Over time, fewer and fewer people celebrate the Qiang New Year festival. D．In the city, we can see wooden arch bridges, here and there. 4．What does the underlined word “carries” probably mean? A．Brings B．Holds C．Loses D．Supports 5．What is the meaning of protecting the ICH? A．To protect cultural traditions and bring people together globally. B．To strengthen national confidence. C．To strengthen cultural confidence D．To learn from the cultural traditions. 【答案】1．A 2．B 3．C 4．B 5．D 【难度】0.4 【知识点】中华文化、说明文 【导语】本文主要介绍了中国几项非物质文化遗产被列入联合国教科文组织非物质文化遗产代表名录的情况，并强调了保护这些文化遗产的重要性。 1．细节理解题。根据“These days, people were cheered by the news that the Spring Festival and its practices were added to UNESCO’s Representative List of Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity. The next day, Thursday, December 5, 2024, the following items were also added: Traditional Li textile techniques spinning (纺纱), dyeing (染色), weaving (织布) and embroidering (刺绣), the Qiang New Year festival, and the traditional design and practices for building Chinese wooden arch bridges.” 可知，春节是在周三被列入联合国教科文组织人类非物质文化遗产代表作名录的，第二天（周四）又有其他项目被列入。所以周三被列入的项目只有春节这一个。故选A。 2．推理判断题。根据“Different from the Spring Festival, these items were once on the List of Intangible Cultural Heritage in Need of Urgent Safeguarding because they were at risk of disappearing.”可知，与春节不同，文中提到的其他非物质文化遗产项目曾被列入急需保护的非物质文化遗产名录，因为它们面临消失的风险，也就是需要立即保护。故选B。 3．细节理解题。根据“The Qiang New Year festival is an important celebration for the Qiang ethnic group. However, fewer people celebrated it over time, making its protection very urgent.”可知，随着时间的推移，庆祝羌年的人越来越少。故选C。 4．词句猜测题。根据第四段 “ICH is often a part of daily life and carries important cultural values.” 可知，非物质文化遗产通常是日常生活的一部分，并且 “carries” 重要的文化价值。“holds” 有 “包含、持有、承载” 的意思，在这里 “carries” 与 “holds” 意思相近，可理解为非物质文化遗产承载着重要的文化价值。故选B。 5．推理判断题。根据“As one expert said, cultural heritage belongs not only to us but to future generations. Protecting ICH makes sure that these traditions stay alive and continue to connect people across the world.”可知，保护非物质文化遗产确保这些传统得以延续，并继续将世界各地的人们联系在一起，也就是保护文化传统并在全球范围内把人们凝聚在一起。故选D。 C Building a country is never easy. It takes hard work from generation (代人) to generation. But how about destroying it? A new report from The Guardian said longtime of climate change can do that, The report said Tuvalu will be the first country to be completely lost due to climate change. Tuvalu is a Pacific island nation with nine islands and 12, 000 people. It has long been at risk from rising sea levels, Now, 40 percent of the area in its capital is underwater at high tide (潮水). By the end of the century, it is believed that all the islands will be underwater, reported Reuters, So many people in Tuvalu have often moved around the country and even to other countries. To help with the problem, the country plans to build its country in the metaverse. The digital (数字化的) country will recreate the same landscape and keep its cultural and historical records, No matter where they live in the real world, the people in this country will have their new identity (身份) and “live” in its online communities. The government hopes to manage and serve them in cyberspace (网络空间). This news made many people in Tuvalu excited. But Li Zuxi, director of the metaverse lab of Qingbo Intelligent Technology, said it may not be the best solution. “Though the digital nation belongs to Tuvalu, it’s still built on a metaverse platform (平台),” said Li, “Now, the metaverse is not mature, which may bring some problems.” He gave us an example. If people from other countries enter the space of the digital country but just show their names, how do people know if they do or do not, truly belong to that country? Li added that instead of trying our best to build digital nations, it’s better to pay attention to saving the real world now. 1．To deal with the problem, Tuvalu plans to ________. A．break the country into several parts B．fight against climate change C．move the country to another island D．build a digital country online 2．What do we know about Tuvalu in the metaverse? A．People can find the same buildings as they are now B．The “new” Tuvalu is larger than the real one. C．It has no records of culture and history D．People of the “new” Tuvalu have no communities 3．What is Li Zuxi’s opinion about the news? A．The metaverse world is safe. B．He fully supports the rebuilding of Tuvalu. C．He calls for more countries to enter the metaverse. D．It’s hard to manage a digital country 4．Which of the followings is NOT true? A．Tuvalu is under the risk of being flooded by sea water B．Many people in Tuvalu have moved to other places. C．People will use their old identities in “new” Tuvalu in the metaverse D．People should take action to save the real world now. 5．Which is the best title of the story? A．Metaverse welcomes all countries B．Build homes in cyberspace C．Recreate online communities D．Make every nation digital 【答案】1．D 2．A 3．D 4．C 5．B 【难度】0.4 【知识点】科学技术、说明文 【导语】主要讨论了气候变化对图瓦卢的威胁、图瓦卢计划在元宇宙中建设国家的应对策略，以及对于这一策略的不同看法和建议。 1．细节理解题。根据“To help with the problem, the country plans to build its country in the metaverse. ”可知，为了帮助解决这个问题，该国计划在元宇宙中建设自己的国家，即在线建设一个数字国家，故选D。 2．细节理解题。根据“ The digital (数字化的) country will recreate the same landscape and keep its cultural and historical records”可知，这个数字国家将重建相同的景观，并保留其文化和历史记录。故人们在虚拟世界中可以找到与现在相同的建筑物，故选A。 3．推理判断题。根据“ ‘Though the digital nation belongs to Tuvalu, it’s still built on a metaverse platform (平台),’ said Li, ‘Now, the metaverse is not mature, which may bring some problems. ’ He gave us an example. If people from other countries enter the space of the digital country but just show their names, how do people know if they do or do not, truly belong to that country? ”可知，现在元宇宙还不成熟，这可能会带来一些问题，并给我们举了例子。所以可推断出管理一个数字化国家是困难的，故选D。 4．细节理解题。根据“No matter where they live in the real world, the people in this country will have their new identity ( 身份) and ‘live’ in its online communities”可知，无论他们在现实中住在哪里，这个国家的人们将拥有新的身份，并“生活”在其在线社区中。所以C项“人们将在元宇宙中的‘新’图瓦卢使用他们的旧身份”是错误的，故选C。 5．最佳标题题。根据全文可知主要讨论了气候变化对图瓦卢的威胁、图瓦卢计划在元宇宙中建设国家的应对策略，即在网络空间建造家园，故选B。 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
