Many people now like products (产品) and companies that care about the earth and cause (导致) less pollution (污染). So it’s time for large companies to make a change. Here are some examples. Shoppers used cheap plastic bags before, and then threw them away. But now most supermarkets and shops usually give reusable shopping bags to them. This causes less waste. They also sell more local products, because it is easy and cheap to carry them from one place to another. To help cause less air pollution, big car factories are looking for other good ways to reduce the oil consumption (油耗). Cars that use much less oil are very popular. Many companies are also producing electric (电动的) cars. They cause no air pollution at all. What’s more, they are cheaper to run and people don’t need to worry about the oil prices. They are becoming more popular. The airline companies face a greater green problem. Planes use much more oil than cars. So many airlines are now developing planes that can fly on some other kinds of oil and some of them use only solar panels (太阳能板) to fly! They cause less pollution and cost less. Moreover, the companies are trying to produce lighter planes and choose (选择) much better routes. Green saves the earth. More and more companies have to show they care about the environment (环境).

There are many stories that suggest it is possible. Not just wolves and dogs, but also sheep, bears and even monkeys are able to look after human children. Daily Mail reported. There is the case of Ivan Mishukov, a 6-year-old boy from Moscow. Police found him living with dogs in the city’s streets in 1998. There, he had been begging for two years. Ivan found food to feed the dogs. And in return, the dogs kept him warm and protected him while he slept. When he was saved, he could hardly speak. Luckily, he later joined the army and lived like a normal adult. But not all children who are raised by animals can adapt to human society. In 1848, British soldier (军人) Colonel William Sleeman found a little boy living with many wolves in India. He took him to a village, taking care of him and trying to teach him to speak. But nothing worked. The boy still behaved like a wolf, eating raw (生的) meat and refusing to wear clothes, no matter how cold the weather was. About two years later, he got very sick and passed away. Some animals are believed to have strong material instinct (母性本能), which guide them to care for young animals, even those of other species. However, people need to know that children raised by animals may experience long-term negative effects when they enter human society, according to Daily Mail. 1．Ivan Mishukov was raised by ________. A．wolves B．dogs C．monkeys D．bears 2．The case of the boy raised by wolves shows us that children raised by animals ________. A．can learn from animals B．can live longer C．can speak animal language D．may harm human beings 3．What did the Daily Mail say? A．Animals can take good care of human babies. B．Some animals have strong maternal instincts. C．Some animals can’t tell themselves apart from other species.

D．A science magazine. 【答案】1．B 2．A 3．B 4．D 【导语】本文主要举了几个例子来说明人类孩子由动物抚养是可能的，但被动物抚养的孩子可能很难再融入人类社会。 1．细节理解题。根据“There is the case of Ivan Mishukov, a 6-year-old boy from Moscow. Police found him living with dogs in the city’s streets in 1998.”可知，Ivan Mishukov是由狗养大的。故选B。 2．推理判断题。根据“The boy still behaved like a wolf, eating raw meat and refusing to wear clothes, no matter how cold the weather was.”可推知，被动物养大的孩子，会学习动物习性。故选A。 3．细节理解题。根据“Some animals are believed to have strong material instinct (母性本能), which guide them to care for young animals, even those of other species.”可知，有些动物有强烈的母性本能。故选B。 4．推理判断题。本文主要探讨和说明的是人类孩子由动物抚养是可能的，属于科学类文章。本文最有可能来源于科学杂志。故选D。 4.（23-24七年级下·浙江·期中） ①Eleuthera is a great place for people to enjoy pineapples.

It would never really happen. But a new study showed that plants make sounds when they are stressed (压力). Scientists from Tel Aviv University did the study. They used ultrasonic microphones (超声波麦克风) to record the sounds of tomato plants in boxes. They listened to three groups of plants: one group wasn’t watered for five days, another group had the stems (茎), and the third group was untouched. The first two groups made sounds 30 to 50 times every hour. The third group only made the sound once every hour. “When tomatoes are not stressed at all, they are very quiet,” Lilach Hadany from the study team told CNN. Scientists believe that animals and insects may listen to the sounds. For example, the sound can tell them that the plant is stressed and not good for laying eggs on (产卵). When an animal wants to eat plants, it can also use sound to choose which one to eat. After the study, the scientists also listened to other plants such as wheat and corn (玉米). They made more sounds when stressed. Scientists said the study can help farmers better take care of the plants in the future by “hearing” how they feel. 1．How did the writer make readers interested in the passage in the beginning? A．By telling us a story about plants. B．By showing us interesting pictures. C．By telling us his ideas about the new study. D．By making us think of something amazing. 2．The scientists from Tel Aviv University find ________.

A．Plants become stressed when animals lay eggs on them. B．Clever animals will pick out the best plants to use or eat. C．If plants get enough water, they will make more sounds. D．Farmers find a way to keep away from dangerous plants. 4．What is the best title (标题) of the passage? A．Plants can also “shout” B．Scientists listen to plants C．How to grow tasty plants D．Farmers take care of corn 【答案】1．D 2．C 3．B 4．A 【导语】本文主要讲述了一项新的研究成果，即植物在受到压力时会发出声音。 1．推理判断题。根据“Try to think about this: When you sit down and begin to eat a tasty tomato, suddenly the tomato starts to shout!”可知，作者通过让我们想一些神奇的东西来吸引读者的阅读兴趣。故选D。 2．细节理解题。根据“But a new study showed that plants make sounds when they are stressed (压力).”和“Scientists from Tel Aviv University did the study.”可知，特拉维夫大学的科学家们发现，植物在受到压力时会发出声音。故选C。 3．推理判断题。根据“For example, the sound can tell them that the plant is stressed and not good for laying eggs on (产卵).

The government said the city was facing its most serious water shortage ever. Some other cities in the southern part of China, like Chengdu and Guangzhou, are also becoming “thirsty”,The Paperreported. Compared (相比) with northern areas, southern areas have more rain and are close to more rivers and lakes. So why are they still short on water? In big cities like Shenzhen and Guangzhou, populations are growing fast. As a result, people and factories need more and more water. Each person in Shenzhen has less than 200 cubic meters of water each year. It’s l/12 of the country’s average. According to the United Nations, it is an “absolute water shortage” (极度缺水) when the number is below 500 cubic meters. Climate change is making the water problem worse. For example, most cities in Guangdong depend on the Dongjiang River as their main source (来源) of water. In 2022, the river was reported to be drying up. Because of climate change, there’s also less snow in the mountains of Xizang. The snow has long been the source of water for many areas in China. Those mountains might provide less water in the future. There are other reasons for water shortages. For example, water pollution makes it harder to get clean drinking water. Factories and farms don’t use water efficiently (有效地). Some cities have enough rainfall, but don’t have big lakes or reservoirs (水库) to store water. The water just goes into the sea. 1．Where is this text most probably from? A．A newspaper. B．A textbook. C．A tour book. D．A school website. 2．How much water does an average Chinese person use according to the text? A．200 cubic meters. B．500 cubic meters. C．1200 cubic meters. D．2400 cubic meters. 3．Why is there less water in China’s rivers according to Paragraph 4? A．People are using up the water in these rivers. B．The rivers flow through many areas with less rain. C．Mountains in Xizang have less snow. D．Most water goes to the sea before people can get it. 4．Which is NOT a reason for the water shortage mentioned in the last paragraph? A．Water pollution. B．Wasting water. C．Lack of storing place. D．Climate change. 5．What is the author’s attitude to the shortage of water? A．Positive. B．Negative. C．Neutral (中立的). D．Worried. 【答案】1．A 2．D 3．C 4．D 5．D 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。介绍了包括深圳在内，全国各地乃至全世界都面临着水资源短缺的问题，以及水资源短缺的原因。 1．推理判断题。通读文章可知，本文是一篇说明文。介绍了包括深圳在内，全国各地乃至全世界都面临着水资源短缺的问题，以及水资源短缺的原因，最可能来自报纸。故选A。 2．细节理解题。根据“As a result, people and factories need more and more water.

The snow has long been the source of water for many areas in China.”可知，西藏山区降雪较少，导致中国河流的水量更少。故选C。 4．细节理解题。根据“There are other reasons for water shortages. For example, water pollution makes it harder to get clean drinking water. Factories and farms don’t use water efficiently. Some cities have enough rainfall, but don’t have big lakes or reservoirs to store water.

How about a basketball match with different sea animals as players? With Sora, you may soon be able to find out. The latest AI model can generate videos up to a minute long from some key words in seconds. It was built by OpenAI, the company behind the popular chatbot ChatGPT. The public cannot use Sora now. OpenAI is asking experts to test it for possible risks (风险). The model is also open to a small group of artists. The company hopes to make Sora better. Before Sora, the leading text-to-video AI model was made by Runway. The videos it produced were short and often frightening. So most people were surprised by the high quality of Sora’s videos. Sora model isn’t perfect now because it may not understand cause and effect. “For example, a person may take a bite out of a cookie, but then the cookie may not have a bite mark,” OpenAI says on its website. What’s more, Sora cannot tell left or right. In a video on the OpenAI website, a man is running on a treadmill (跑步机) in the opposite direction. At the same time, some people have other worries. They are afraid that some people may not use AI-generated content in a correct way. Unreal AI-generated information is the biggest risk the world faces. To solve this problem, OpenAI says that it’s also building tools to help users to find out videos made by Sora. 1．How does the writer introduce the topic? A．By telling a story. B．By using a saying. C．By asking questions. D．By giving some facts. 2．What does the underlined word “generate” in Paragraph 2 probably mean? A．Appear. B．Produce. C．Support. D．Dig. 3．Who can use Sora now? A．Every artist. B．A chatbot. C．Some experts. D．Any student. 4．Why were people surprised by Sora’s videos? A．Because Sora’s videos were made from ChatGPT. B．Because Sora’s videos were short and frightening. C．Because Sora’s videos were produced in high quality. D．Because Sora’s videos can tell cause and effect. 5．What’s the main idea of the last paragraph? A．There are some problems of Sora model. B．People are worried about Sora model. C．OpenAI helps solve Sora model’s problem. D．The public are waiting to use Sora model. 【答案】1．C 2．B 3．C 4．C 5．A 【导语】这篇短文主要介绍了OpenAI公司最新开发的AI模型Sora，它能根据关键词在几秒钟内生成长达一分钟的短视频。目前Sora还未对公众开放，正在接受专家的风险测试和小部分艺术家的试用，以改进其功能。文章提到，Sora的视频质量令人惊喜，但仍有缺陷，比如不理解因果关系和左右方向，同时也存在AI生成内容被不当使用的担忧。OpenAI表示正在开发工具以帮助用户识别由Sora生成的视频。 1．细节理解题。根据第一段“What may two dogs making radio programs look like? How about a basketball match with different sea animals as players?”可知，通过问题引入主题。故选C。 2．词句猜测题。根据第二段“a minute long from some key words in seconds.”结合选项可知，应说最新的人工智能模型可以在几秒钟内从一些关键词生成长达一分钟的视频。所以“generate”意为“生成”与“Produce”意思相符。故选B。 3．细节理解题。根据第三段“The public cannot use Sora now. OpenAI is asking experts to test it for possible risks.

Friendships between Americans can be close and real, yet disappear soon. They don’t feel hurt. If the same two people meet again, even years later, they pick up the friendship. This can be quite difficult for us Chinese to understand. Friendships between us develop more slowly but may become lifelong feelings, extending (延伸) deeply into both families. ★ . Although Americans treat friends warmly in their personal everyday lives, they don’t show their politeness to them if it requires a great deal of time. But in China, we are usually generous with our time. We, as hosts, will appear at an airport even in the middle of the night to meet a friend. We may take a day off from our work to act as guides to our friends. It is opposite in America. Americans cannot manage the time to do a great deal with a visitor outside their daily plans. They will probably expect the visitors to get themselves from the airport to the hotels. And they expect the visitors will phone them from there. Once the visitors arrive at their homes, the welcome will be full, warm and real. For Americans, it is often considered more friendly to invite a friend to their homes than to restaurants, except for business matters. Americans are ready to receive us foreigners at their homes, share their holidays, and their home life. So accept their hospitality (好客) at home and enjoy your visit in America! 1．The underlined phrase “pick up” in Paragraph 1 may mean ________. A．put down B．give up C．continue D．overlook 2．From the passage, we can know ________.

A．There is another difficult point for us to understand B．We are the same as Americans C．Americans are usually impolite to their friends D．Americans never spend time with their friends 5．We can infer from the passage that ________. A．Americans don’t need lifelong friendship B．Americans are not polite at all C．homes are better than restaurants to welcome a friend from afar in Americans’ eyes D．Americans may take a day off from work to act as guides to their friends 【答案】1．C 2．B 3．B 4．A 5．C 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。本文主要介绍了中美不同的待人之道。 1．词句猜测题。根据第一段“Friendships between Americans can be close and real, yet disappear soon. They don’t feel hurt. If the same two people meet again, even years later, they pick up the friendship.”可知，美国人之间的友谊可能是亲密而真实的，但很快就会消失，他们不觉得受到伤害，如果同样的两个人再次相遇，即使是多年以后，他们也会重拾友谊，可推测pick up表示“拾起”，此处有“继续友谊”的意思，C选项“继续”与其相符。故选C。 2．细节理解题。根据第一段“Friendships between Americans can be close and real, yet disappear soon. They don’t feel hurt.”可知，美国人之间的友谊可能是亲密而真实的，但很快就会消失，他们不觉得受到伤害。故选B。 3．推理判断题。根据“For Americans, it is often considered more friendly to invite a friend to their homes than to restaurants, except for business matters. Americans are ready to receive us foreigners at their homes, share their holidays, and their home life. So accept their hospitality at home and enjoy your visit in America!”可知，对于美国人来说，邀请朋友到家里做客通常比去餐馆更友好，但商务事务除外，美国人准备在家里接待我们这些外国人，分享他们的假期和家庭生活 ，可推测“热情友好”最能描述美国人。故选B。 4．推理判断题。根据“Although Americans treat friends warmly in their personal everyday lives, they don’t show their politeness to them if it requires a great deal of time. But in China, we are usually generous with our time. We, as hosts, will appear at an airport even in the middle of the night to meet a friend.”可知，尽管美国人在日常生活中对朋友很热情，但如果需要大量时间，他们不会对他们表现出礼貌，但在中国，我们甚至会在半夜出现在机场与朋友见面，可推测此处是关于对美国人的做法不理解的语句，A选项“还有一点我们很难理解”符合语境。故选A。 5．推理判断题。根据“For Americans, it is often considered more friendly to invite a friend to their homes than to restaurants, except for business matters. Americans are ready to receive us foreigners at their homes, share their holidays, and their home life.”可知，对于美国人来说，邀请朋友到家里做客通常比去餐馆更友好，但商务事务除外，美国人准备在家里接待我们这些外国人，分享他们的假期和家庭生活，可推测在美国人看来，在家里迎接远方的朋友比在餐馆要好。故选C。 16.（23-24七年级下·浙江宁波·期中）Many people say dolphins are intelligent.

Here are some examples of what we may see in schools. Interactive walls (互动墙). In traditional classrooms, teachers write on blackboards. But in future classrooms, teachers will write all the important words on the interactive walls. When students write something on their own desks, the teachers can see it on the interactive walls. This can make them more active (积极的) in class. Holograms (全息图). What does outer space look like? Most of us learn about this from photos in books. But it is hard to know this only by pictures in books. Students in the future will be able to have very different experiences (体验). With the help of holograms, they can learn from 3-D pictures. The 3-D pictures will be projected (投影) in the classroom. Virtual reality (虚拟现实). In 2040, virtual reality will give students immersive scenes (沉浸式场景) in class. When they learn about a queen in history, they will be able to “walk” in the palace with her. They will not only read about history, but also “experience” it. 1．What can interactive walls do according to Paragraph 2? A．Show the words on blackboards. B．Show students’ writing to the teacher.

Many people now like products (产品) and companies that care about the earth and cause (导致) less pollution (污染). So it’s time for large companies to make a change. Here are some examples. Shoppers used cheap plastic bags before, and then threw them away. But now most supermarkets and shops usually give reusable shopping bags to them. This causes less waste.

Many companies are also producing electric (电动的) cars. They cause no air pollution at all. What’s more, they are cheaper to run and people don’t need to worry about the oil prices. They are becoming more popular. The airline companies face a greater green problem. Planes use much more oil than cars. So many airlines are now developing planes that can fly on some other kinds of oil and some of them use only solar panels (太阳能板) to fly! They cause less pollution and cost less. Moreover, the companies are trying to produce lighter planes and choose (选择) much better routes. Green saves the earth. More and more companies have to show they care about the environment (环境).

Not just wolves and dogs, but also sheep, bears and even monkeys are able to look after human children. Daily Mail reported. There is the case of Ivan Mishukov, a 6-year-old boy from Moscow. Police found him living with dogs in the city’s streets in 1998. There, he had been begging for two years. Ivan found food to feed the dogs. And in return, the dogs kept him warm and protected him while he slept. When he was saved, he could hardly speak. Luckily, he later joined the army and lived like a normal adult. But not all children who are raised by animals can adapt to human society. In 1848, British soldier (军人) Colonel William Sleeman found a little boy living with many wolves in India. He took him to a village, taking care of him and trying to teach him to speak. But nothing worked. The boy still behaved like a wolf, eating raw (生的) meat and refusing to wear clothes, no matter how cold the weather was. About two years later, he got very sick and passed away. Some animals are believed to have strong material instinct (母性本能), which guide them to care for young animals, even those of other species.

It would never really happen. But a new study showed that plants make sounds when they are stressed (压力). Scientists from Tel Aviv University did the study. They used ultrasonic microphones (超声波麦克风) to record the sounds of tomato plants in boxes. They listened to three groups of plants: one group wasn’t watered for five days, another group had the stems (茎), and the third group was untouched. The first two groups made sounds 30 to 50 times every hour. The third group only made the sound once every hour. “When tomatoes are not stressed at all, they are very quiet,” Lilach Hadany from the study team told CNN. Scientists believe that animals and insects may listen to the sounds. For example, the sound can tell them that the plant is stressed and not good for laying eggs on (产卵). When an animal wants to eat plants, it can also use sound to choose which one to eat. After the study, the scientists also listened to other plants such as wheat and corn (玉米). They made more sounds when stressed. Scientists said the study can help farmers better take care of the plants in the future by “hearing” how they feel. 1．How did the writer make readers interested in the passage in the beginning?

The government said the city was facing its most serious water shortage ever. Some other cities in the southern part of China, like Chengdu and Guangzhou, are also becoming “thirsty”,The Paperreported. Compared (相比) with northern areas, southern areas have more rain and are close to more rivers and lakes. So why are they still short on water? In big cities like Shenzhen and Guangzhou, populations are growing fast. As a result, people and factories need more and more water. Each person in Shenzhen has less than 200 cubic meters of water each year. It’s l/12 of the country’s average. According to the United Nations, it is an “absolute water shortage” (极度缺水) when the number is below 500 cubic meters. Climate change is making the water problem worse. For example, most cities in Guangdong depend on the Dongjiang River as their main source (来源) of water. In 2022, the river was reported to be drying up. Because of climate change, there’s also less snow in the mountains of Xizang. The snow has long been the source of water for many areas in China. Those mountains might provide less water in the future. There are other reasons for water shortages. For example, water pollution makes it harder to get clean drinking water. Factories and farms don’t use water efficiently (有效地). Some cities have enough rainfall, but don’t have big lakes or reservoirs (水库) to store water. The water just goes into the sea. 1．Where is this text most probably from? A．A newspaper. B．A textbook. C．A tour book.

The latest AI model can generate videos up to a minute long from some key words in seconds. It was built by OpenAI, the company behind the popular chatbot ChatGPT. The public cannot use Sora now. OpenAI is asking experts to test it for possible risks (风险). The model is also open to a small group of artists. The company hopes to make Sora better. Before Sora, the leading text-to-video AI model was made by Runway. The videos it produced were short and often frightening. So most people were surprised by the high quality of Sora’s videos. Sora model isn’t perfect now because it may not understand cause and effect. “For example, a person may take a bite out of a cookie, but then the cookie may not have a bite mark,” OpenAI says on its website. What’s more, Sora cannot tell left or right. In a video on the OpenAI website, a man is running on a treadmill (跑步机) in the opposite direction. At the same time, some people have other worries. They are afraid that some people may not use AI-generated content in a correct way. Unreal AI-generated information is the biggest risk the world faces. To solve this problem, OpenAI says that it’s also building tools to help users to find out videos made by Sora. 1．How does the writer introduce the topic? A．By telling a story. B．By using a saying.

Friendships between Americans can be close and real, yet disappear soon. They don’t feel hurt. If the same two people meet again, even years later, they pick up the friendship. This can be quite difficult for us Chinese to understand. Friendships between us develop more slowly but may become lifelong feelings, extending (延伸) deeply into both families. ★ . Although Americans treat friends warmly in their personal everyday lives, they don’t show their politeness to them if it requires a great deal of time.
