It is a way of turning old or unnecessary things into something useful and often beautiful. Is it the same as recycling? Recycling usually takes old things, like paper and glass, and breaks them down to make a new product. When you upcycle an object, you are probably doing something different. You can simply refashion it. For example, you might make a bag out of an old T-shirt. Also, the upcycled object is usually in the same, or even better condition. Upcycling isn’t a new idea. Some of the best examples of modem-day upcycling come from the old times. In those days, things were repurposed over and over until they were no longer useful. Upcycling is a way of life. Things shouldn’t be just thrown away when they can be saved and turned into something useful. It’s clear that upcycling is green. It is also considered to be more environmentally friendly than recycling. Upcycling can just require your own ideas and work, but recycling requires energy (能源) or water to break down things. Grace, a young woman from the UK, takes used tea bags and turns them into dresses, shoes and even hats. Every day she drinks some tea, then dries out the tea bags with the tea still in them. When they’re dry, she takes the tea out and puts the bags together to make an item of clothing. This can take a long time, but Grace has made lots of artworks. In fact, no matter you create objects from old things or buy ready-made products from upcycled things, both ways are helpful for the environment and can bring you something that’s both beautiful and useful. Get started today! 1．What does the underlined word “refashion” mean in paragraph 2? A．Break down useless things. B．Collect used things. C．Create things out of old ones. D．Come up with good ideas. 2．How is upcycling different from recycling? A．It’s a completely new idea. B．It needs more energy. C．It requires more time and work. D．It’s a greener way of life. 3．Why does the writer tell the story of Grace in paragraph 5? A．To list the steps of doing upcycling. B．To give a good example of upcycling. C．To express a different idea of upcycling. D．To provide basic knowledge of upcycling. 4．What is the main purpose of the passage? A．To encourage people to do upcycling. B．To introduce the history of upcycling. C．To compare upcycling with recycling. D．To explain the importance of recycling 2.（2024·广东广州·中考真题） Many people know that robots explore space and build things in factories. But did you know that there are many other kinds of robots? Let’s meet some of these robots and find out what they do. Robot 1 If your family are moving to a new house, this two-legged robot is a good helper.

In recent years, scientists have done research about the feelings of cows, frogs and pandas. ▲ It says that humans can tell whether a chicken is happy or sad by listening to its calls. The researchers put a bowl behind a door. Inside the bowl, sometimes, there was something chickens love to eat, such as rice or insects. Sometimes, there was nothing. When the chickens saw food behind the door, they seemed happy and produced fast and loud sounds, known as food calls. When there wasn’t food, the chickens made low and long noises to express disappointment. The researchers recorded all these sounds and studied their waves. Then the researchers chose 16 recordings of such chicken noises. Half were from the chickens seeing the food and half were from the chickens finding no food. The recordings were played to 194 volunteers. Sixty-nine percent of the volunteers correctly understood whether the chickens were feeling happy or not, and some of them even had no experience of taking care of chickens. The result shows that humans have the natural ability to understand the feelings of chickens. Hopefully, this finding can bring about new technology to help with chicken-raising, a big industry in many countries. Some scientists are already working on a smart computer program that can identify chickens’ feelings. This is good news for farmers who want to make the birds happier and healthier. 1．Which of the following can be put in “________” in Paragraph 1? A．Humans may not like animals. B．Scientists know nothing about it. C．Nobody knows why this happens. D．A new study adds chickens to the list. 2．Which is most probably the sound wave of a happy call by a chicken? A． B． C． D． 3．How did the volunteers help with the research? A．By listening to the chicken calls. B．By taking care of the chickens. C．By finding food for the chickens. D．By making the chickens happy. 4．What does the underlined word “identify” mean in Paragraph 4? A．Control. B．Hide. C．Recognize. D．Hurt. 5．What is the best title for the passage? A．Chickens’ Food Calls B．Happy Chickens, Sad Chickens C．Farmers’ Best Choice D．Smart Farmers, Healthy Farmers 4.（2024·广东深圳·中考真题）A recent TV series To the Wonder has become China’s breakout TV hit of the year. It has also won praise at a film festival abroad. To the Wonder is based on the award-winning novel of Li Juan, My Altay, and is directed by Teng Congcong. It is very poetic and filled with beautiful wisdom. The TV drama follows the journey of Li Wenxiu. She once wished to leave Altay, an area in Northern Xinjiang. After failing to realize her dream in the capital of Xinjiang, Li has to move back to her hometown and tries to find a new direction for herself. At first, Li finds it hard to understand her neighbours’ traditional way of thinking. Under the influence of her mother Zhang Fengxia, Li starts to see the place and its people in a new light. Later, she comes to understand their lifestyle and respect for nature.

A must-watch if you want to discover the beauty of the grassland and life there,” another fan said. “People enjoy the wonderful view of Altay. But the key to the success of the series lies in its ability to connect with the viewers on a human level,” said Teng Congcong. “In the drama, everyone communicates sincerely.

Because of too much fishing, almost 90 percent of the worldwide population of large fish—the ones we usually eat—has disappeared. If we don’t act, these animals will totally disappear. That will influence every animal in the ocean. The demand for fish is growing. Almost a billion people around the world get their protein (蛋白质) mostly from fish. Doctors praise seafood for being low in fat. But what seems like a healthy choice for humans is causing a disaster to our oceans. “People are consuming (消费) too much,” says Lance Morgan, a scientist at the Marine Conservation Biology Institute. A dish of tuna in restaurants costs more than just one animal's life. When fish like tuna disappear from the ecosystem (生态系统), the ocean’s food chain (链) breaks down. Animals such as sharks, which normally eat tuna, may die because they find no food. The news may be scary, but taking action from now on can prevent harm that hasn’t happened yet. World organizations are ordering countries to stop fishing too much. The Monterey Bay Aquarium gives seafood choices to anyone hoping to keep healthy without destroying the environment. “If you care about wildlife, first spend time and think about your own values and beliefs,” says Morgan. “Then decide what you’re going to eat.” 1．How does the writer start the text? A．By giving a fact. B．By asking a question. C．By telling a story. D．By using a saying. 2．What does the underlined word “demand” in Paragraph 2 probably mean? A．Wish. B．Support. C．Need. D．Price. 3．From Paragraph 3, we know that ________. A．if sharks die out, tuna will die out soon B．tuna will be more popular in restaurants C．tuna plays an important role in the ecosystem D．tuna disappeared because they found no food 4．What’s the purpose of the text? A．To tell people to stop polluting our oceans. B．To tell people to protect wildlife in oceans. C．To tell people to avoid eating too much seafood. D．To tell people to live a balanced and healthy life. 5．What does the last paragraph of the article explain ________. A．We need to care about wildlife B．We need to eat wild animals C．We need to reflect on our own values and beliefs D．We don’t want to protect wild animals 6.（2023·广东广州·中考真题）People believe that every word has its correct meaning(s). When we are not sure, we usually check online, or turn to our teachers or dictionaries. But do you know how dictionaries were made in the past? Dictionary writers first read the important books of the period or the subject that the dictionary was about. As they read, they copied necessary information on cards: interesting words, common words—both in their daily uses and unusual uses, and also the sentences where they were used. That is to say, the words, along with the uses of each word, were collected. For a really big dictionary, millions of such cards were collected. This task could last for years. As the cards were collected, they were put in alphabetical order (A—Z). When this was done, there would be several hundred cards for each single word. Then, to define (定义) a word, the dictionary writer placed its hundreds of cards before him. He read the cards closely, threw away some, read the rest again, and divided up the cards according to what he thought were the common uses of the word. Finally, he wrote the definitions, following the hard-and-fast rule: each definition must come from an example on a certain card in front of him. So, the writing of a dictionary was not a task of inventing meanings of words, but a task of recording their meanings. The writer of a dictionary was a historian, not a law maker. As time develops, the way of producing dictionaries has greatly changed. Nowadays, we can use online dictionaries too. When choosing our words in speaking or writing, we can be guided by the dictionary. However, we cannot be controlled by it, because new situations, new experiences, new inventions, and new feelings, are always pushing us to give new uses to old words. 1．Why did dictionary writers read important books? A．To know more about the period. B．To collect words and their uses. C．To understand different subjects. D．To learn to use interesting words. 2．Which shows the correct steps of how dictionaries were made in the past?              A．①-③-④-② B．①-②-④-③ C．③-④-②-① D．③-①-④-② 3．What can we learn from the passage about dictionary writing in the past? A．It should be done by historians. B．It was a task of inventing and recording. C．It was long-time hard work. D．It had to use the law-making rules. 4．What does the writer advise us to do when we choose words in communication? A．Be open to the new uses of words. B．Follow the dictionary strictly. C．Use online dictionaries instead. D．Try to create new words. 7.（2023·广东·中考真题）Some animals can easily find their way home after a long journey. How do they make it? Scientific research shows that they are born with certain unusual abilities for direction. A certain kind of ants, for example, can count their steps to avoid getting lost. They can go as far as 110 metres and bring food home. These ants live in the open desert (沙漠), so they have nothing to guide them along the way. It’s like someone walking six kilometres through a dark forest. Some fish have an unbelievable sense of smell. They can smell even a single drop of their home water in a large sea area. Some sea birds have a similar ability. They are able to make a smell map of their flying area. Some animals can sense the earth’s magnetic field (磁场), while humans can’t. This magnetic field guides a certain kind of fish when they swim a long way to a place and then back. How can this kind of fish do that? It is still a mystery. Scientists have no good answers yet. However, animals with such unusual abilities still have difficulty dealing with environmental changes caused by human activities. For example, many birds depend on stars for direction, but they get lost easily at night when city lights are kept on all night. To solve this problem, we can simply turn off some lights at night. Clearly, one small act of humans may mean a lot to animals. 1．Where is this passage most probably from? A．A storybook. B．An art magazine. C．A guidebook. D．A science magazine. 2．How can a certain kind of ants find their way? A．By imagining the way. B．By counting their steps. C．By bringing food together D．By walking through a forest. 3．What does the underlined word “mystery” in paragraph 4 probably mean? A．Secret. B．Choice. C．Reason. D．Feeling. 4．What are people advised to do according to the last paragraph? A．To help animals. B．To travel at night. C．To keep city lights on. D．To develop unusual abilities. 5．Which can be the best title for the passage? A．Birds’ Sense of Light B．Fish’s Sense of Smell C．Animals’ Sense of Direction D．Animals’ Sense of Magnetic Field 8.（2023·广东·中考真题） When it’s hot outside and we have to go out, surely we want to keep cool.

Among them in Colombia, a river stands out as “the most beautiful river” in the world. Locally called Camio Cristales, this special river lies in a national park. It is made up of several waterfalls rapids, and plenty of pools. For most of the year, Canio Cristales looks like a common river: clean, green, and rocky. However, during the short period between September and November, the river explodes（迸发）with life and color. It appears as any mix of colors including blue, green, yellow, orange, and a purplish red. So it is also known as the “River of Five Colors”. Although at first it may appear as if some chemicals were added to the water, this rainbow river is completely natural. Cafio Cristales’ colors are the result of a rare（稀有） water plant which needs sunlight to grow. The plants change color depending on how much sunlight they receive, and the amount is decided by the height and speed of the water. Therefore, it is possible for the plants to be totally colorless if the sunlight is too hard to get. They are a delicate plant. This makes them easily damaged in the water. Actually, the river faces some problems, including drier seasons, wildlife trouble, waste management, and budget （预算）cuts. In 2007, the park was forced to close because it was over-crowded with tourists. Now the park admits only 200 people a day and requires them to mind their behaviour. Today, Cano Cristales still shines among Colombia’s most popular natural attractions, drawing thousands of tourists every year. 1．When is the best time to visit Cafio Cristales? A．In January. B．In March. C．In June. D．In October. 2．Why is Cano Cristales colourful? A．A special plant lives in it. B．People add chemicals to it. C．The water is badly polluted. D．The weather is changeable there. 3．What does the underlined word “delicate” in paragraph 3 probably mean? A．Special. B．Weak. C．Lively. D．Beautiful. 4．What once caused the park to be closed? A．Too many visitors. B．The poor service. C．Too much rubbish. D．The wildlife problem. 5．What is the best title of the text? A．How to Visit Cano Cristales B．Natural Beauty in Colombia C．World’s Most Beautiful River D．Protecting the River of Five Colors 10.（2022·广东广州·中考真题） Imagine you are in a new city. You ask someone how to get to a bookstore. They tell you to go straight, turn left, and you will find it on your left. In fact, you can also find your way with a phone. Now imagine you are in an outdoor game. You only have a map and a compass, and instead of running down a city road, you may need to run around in the woods, climb over rocks and go up and down hills. Welcome to orienteering! In the game of orienteering, players use a map and a compass to find stations. These stations are called controls. A special flag, usually in bright colours, marks each control. Controls are not easy to find. They may be in front of a big rock or behind a tree. In most of the games, you’ll have to find controls in numbered order, but in some games you can change the order. At each control, players mark a card they carry with them and the card will be marked in different ways ( See Figure 1 ). The cards are very important because players must find all the controls to win. If someone misses a control, they won’t have that mark on their cards. They might cross the finish line first, but the next person to finish with a full card will win the game. Orienteering Control Card Culture Note: The first compass was invented by ancient Chinese people. It helps you find your way by always pointing to the North.

One important thing of our growth is to make decisions to help our friends and learn to support each other. This requires us to learn what it means to help friends and how to help them in right ways. The first step toward helping others is to identify that they need help. We all know that difficulties are part of our daily lives.

A red sky at night is a sailor’s joy!” Perhaps this saying came to mind if you saw a beautiful sunrise or sunset. ▲ The sun is low on the sea at sunrise and sunset. At these times of the day, sunlight has to travel through more of the air to reach us. When light hits the air, it is spread. This spreading effects the blue part of the light most. So when the sunlight reaches our eyes, there is more of the red and yellow parts of the light remaining. What can red sky tell us about the weather? In the areas where weather systems move usually from the west to the east, the “red sky” saying is often true. A red sky sunrise suggests that an area of high pressure and fine weather has moved out towards the east. This allows an area of lower pressure and worse weather—perhaps some cold air and rain—to move in from the west during the day. On the other hand, a red sky sunset tells us the worst weather has become better when higher pressure and nicer weather are coming from the west for the next day. Across the tropical (热带的) areas, the “red sky” saying is an unreliable method to guess the weather because larger tropical weather systems usually move from east to west. So next time when you see a wonderful sunrise or sunset, you’ll know the coming weather. 1．The writer uses the “red sky” saying in the beginning of the passage to ________. A．help us picture a beautiful view of the red sky B．show how wonderful the sunrise and sunset are C．show the connection between the red sky and the weather D．tell us a sailor’s interesting story on the sea 2．Which sentence can be best put into ▲ ? A．What causes a red sky at sunrise and sunset? B．How does the sunlight travel through the air? C．Where does the light spread at sunrise and sunset? D．Why does the blue part of the light reach our eyes? 3．If you see a red sky at sunset in Beijing, how will the weather be the next day? A． B． C． D． 4．What does the underlined word “unreliable” in Paragraph 4 probably mean? A．Useful. B．Undependable. C．Unusual. D．Important. 5．What’s the best title for the passage? A．The Magic of Sunrises and Sunsets B．The Relationship between Red Skies and Weather C．A Traditional Saying for Sailors D．Weather Systems in Different Areas 2.（2025·广东东莞·一模）In recent years, more and more people are interested in electric vehicles. An electric vehicle is a vehicle that uses an electric motor instead of a gasoline engine (汽油发动机). Electric vehicles have many advantages. First, they are more environmentally friendly. They produce less pollution than gasoline-powered vehicles. Second, they are more energy-efficient. They can convert (转换) more of the energy from the battery into movement than gasoline engines. Third, they are quieter. The electric motor makes much less noise than a gasoline engine. However, electric vehicles also have some disadvantages. One of the main disadvantages is the limited driving range. Most electric vehicles can only travel about 100-300 kilometers on a single charge (充电). Another disadvantage is the long charging time. It can take several hours to fully charge an electric vehicle, while it only takes a few minutes to fill up a gasoline-powered vehicle. Despite these disadvantages, the development of electric vehicles is still very promising. With the improvement of battery technology, the driving range of electric vehicles is getting longer and the charging time is getting shorter. In the future, electric vehicles may become the mainstream(主流) of the automotive industry. 1．What is an electric vehicle? A．A vehicle that uses a gasoline engine. B．A vehicle that uses an electric motor. C．A vehicle that uses both an electric motor and a gasoline engine. D．A vehicle that uses neither an electric motor nor a gasoline engine. 2．How many advantages of electric vehicles are mentioned in the passage? A．Two. B．Three. C．Four. D．Five. 3．What is one of the main disadvantages of electric vehicles? A．They are more environmentally friendly. B．They are more energy-efficient. C．They are quieter. D．The limited driving range. 4．Why is the development of electric vehicles still promising? A．Because they are more expensive. B．Because they produce more pollution. C．Because the driving range is getting longer and the charging time is getting shorter with the improvement of battery technology. D．Because they are more difficult to drive. 5．What is the best title for the passage? A．The Advantages of Electric Vehicles B．The Disadvantages of Electric Vehicles C．Electric Vehicles: Advantages and Disadvantages D．The Future of Electric Vehicles 3.（2025·广东东莞·一模）Do you know how to choose a good book?

Scientist have found the brain’s physical state and changes can lead to behavioral differences across ages and genders (性别). Around the age of 12, the areas of the brain that are used most will be strengthened and cells (细胞) in the brain that are not used will gradually die. What you do with your brain in your teen years probably decides how your brain will work for the rest of your life. How young people spend their time is of great importance. Different from earlier beliefs, the brain is still developing even in the early twenties. Areas of the brain that are related to emotion, decision making, reasoning, and problem solving are still not fully developed. This may explain why car accidents among young people are significantly higher than those among older people. Young people don’t have the necessary skills to make complex (复杂的) judgments while driving. ______. Girls are ready to process more challenging information earlier than boys. In addition, studies have shown that girls and boys process language input in different parts of their brains. Girls usually do better than boys in language, which means that they have more brain matter responsible for language skills. This kind of research raises important questions about how boys and girls should be taught in school. For example, the idea of single-sex education should perhaps be taken into consideration. Experts say that we would do well to revisit the timing of the subjects taught in school, as some parts of the brain develop before others. 1．According to the passage, young people are more likely to have car accidents because ________. A．they fail to realize the importance of skills. B．They don’t have the necessary skills in driving. C．certain areas in their brains are not fully developed.

A new study has found that likes and dislikes from other people could be a reason. According to the research, people who show a clear dislike while eating vegetables can influence others. People may make facial expressions (面部表情) when eating. How does it influence a person watching them? A team of scientists in the UK did a study. They asked more than 200 young women to watch videos of other adults eating carrots. The people in the videos had different expressions while eating. They would smile, seem neither happy nor sad, or look disgusted. The study found that after people watched those videos of people with disgusted faces, they began to like carrots less. However, when someone had a smile while eating carrots, people watching them did not like carrots more. By watching others, humans learn which behaviors will be good for them. Scientists believe that people might avoid food that looks terrible. The research focused only on adults, but the team believe that the results could also work for children. This means, if children see their parents not enjoying certain foods, including vegetables, they might not want to eat them either. How does the behavior of adults influence children’s choices of food? The team said they hoped to understand more about it. This could help find ways to encourage children to eat more healthy foods. 1．How did the young women help do the study? A．By eating carrots. B．By cooking carrots for the study.

Now, you can add one more to the list: sheep. Sheep has powerful face-recognition abilities. Researchers from the University of Cambridge trained eight sheep to recognize the faces of four famous people and pick them out from two different photos. One was a photo of an unknown person and the other was one of the four famous people. If the sheep chose the right photo, it could get food but nothing if they did it wrong. After some time, the sheep could connect the food with the correct photos and make the right choice 8 out of 10 times. Then the researchers gave them another task to see if the sheep could recognize the same person from a different angle. The photos showed only the left face or the right face. The animals were still able to recognize them, though their performance dropped by about 15%. In the last test, the researchers showed photos of their trainers along with a number of other people’s faces. Without any training, the sheep could pick out their trainers 7 out of 10 times. It is not surprising why sheep are smart. ▲ That means they can be useful models to help us understand brain diseases like Huntington’s disease. The study offers another way to learn how these abilities change, especially in sheep who carry the gene mutation (基因突变) that causes Huntington’s disease. 1．Why does the writer mention dogs and monkeys in the first paragraph? A．To tell the difference among animals. B．To show that sheep are as smart as them. C．To make people interested in their brains.

Humans have achieved great things by exploring the sky, the sea, and the earth. After the “Chang’e Lunar Mission” explored space and the “Jiaolong Submersible” dived deep into the sea, China has now made big progress in exploring deep into the earth. Shenditake 1, in the middle of the Taklimakan Desert, known as the “Sea of Death”, has set a new Asian record for deep earth drilling (钻探), and the well was drilled using China’s self-developed tools. The digging process was full of challenges. From the surface to 10,000 meters, it took only 279 days, but the final 910 meters took more than 300 days to complete due to hard conditions under the ground. The well met many difficulties such as tool failures, holes falling down, and heavy loads. However, with the support of new technology and tools, Chinese engineers overcame these challenges and achieved this historic breakthrough. This success marks an important step forward in China’s deep earth drilling engineering. Shenditake 1 is a proud symbol of China’s scientific and technological progress.

It normally appears in spring when the temperature begins to rise and the humidity quickly increases. Before it arrives, there are usually a few cold days, with a temperature below 12°C． As the cold air goes away, warmer air quickly comes and the temperature rises, creating a lot of water vapour (蒸汽). Small water drops can be seen on windows and walls. For example, if the temperature is below 12°C from March 7th to 9th but suddenly rises on March 10th, hui nan rian will appear on March 10th. During hui nan tian, the humid weather makes it easy for bacteria (菌) to grow. Food goes bad easily, clothes stay wet and sofas can get moldy (发霉的). Things like televisions may breakdown when they get wet inside, which can be dangerous for people to turn them on. It can also make people feel tired and sick. Catching a cold is prevalent during this time, as the temperature changes quickly. Although the weather troubles people a lot, for nature, it can be helpful. Thanks to the humid weather, plants can grow better with enough water and warmer air. To cut down on the trouble caused by the lasting humid weather, scientists suggest that people in the south should close their windows in the morning and evening. At the same time, they should use an air conditioner to take away water from the air. It’s also useful to put newspapers on the floor, on tables and at the door to take in water and wet air. 1．Where is this passage probably from? A．A guide book. B．A story book. C．A nature magazine. D．A sports magazine. 2．Which of the following is TRUE about hui nan tian according to the passage? A．It always appears in summer. B．There is heavy rain every day.

But scientists have found that polar bear fur provides something more than that. It also has oil that keeps ice from building up at all. At first the researchers thought the structure of polar bear fur was what kept ice from sticking to it, but when they examined the fur under a microscope, they realized that wasn’t the case. They noticed something else, however: The fur was very oily. The team guessed that could be what kept the fur from freezing. To check their idea, they froze blocks of ice onto washed and unwashed polar bear fur, human hair, and ski equipment, which is covered with chemicals that reduce friction (摩擦力). Then they worked out how much force was needed to remove (移开) the ice from each of these materials. Ice was easily removed from the unwashed, oily polar bear fur and the ski equipment. It was harder to remove from the human hair and about four times harder to remove from the washed fur. After finding out why the ice wasn’t sticking, the team carefully studied the oil itself. They found that it was full of chemicals that keep ice away. Hopefully, the findings will lead to the creation of materials that don’t get icy. Now, some of the chemicals used to keep skis ice-free are harmful to the environment. 1．What do we know about polar bears’ fur? A．It is difficult to wash. B．It stops ice from forming. C．It is thicker than other furs. D．It produces heat for polar bears. 2．What did scientists believe avoided the buildup of ice on the fur in the beginning? A．The weight of the microscope.

They can’t talk. They can’t walk. And they can’t think like us. Or can they? A new BBC documentary series The Green Planet gives us a new look at plants. Released on January 10th on Bilibili, it uncovers the wonderful and dramatic ways that plants behave. Plants compete against each other to live. In the rainforests, different kinds of plants race for sunlight. The forest floor is described as a “battlefield” in the series as only two percent of the sunlight goes through it. Some plants spread their big leaves to reach light. But they are caught up in a vine (藤本植物) that tries to get the sunlight. Finally, they are both overtaken by a fast-growing balsa (轻木) tree. As the balsa has slippery hairs on its leaves, the vine can’t get a hold. Similarly, some trees make poisonous liquid to protect themselves. Plants also help each other and even communicate. In deserts, the roots of Euphrates poplar (胡杨) are connected. If a tree finds water, it will share it with others through the roots. Studies also show that plants use fungus (真菌) in the soil as a way to “talk” to each other. It’s kind of like how Wi-Fi works. If a tomato plant gets a leaf disease, it can tell nearby plants about it. The Green Planet not only lets us amaze at the plant world but pushes us to understand that plants are important. “Plants are the basis of all life, including ourselves. We depend upon them for every mouth of food that we eat and every lungful of air that we breathe,” said David Attenborough, presenter of the series. It’s time to look after wild plants just as carefully as our houseplants. 1．What is the show of The Green Planet mainly about? A．Where wonderful plants are. B．How people change the plants.

With so difficult conditions, why does this wild place still attract people to explore it? Despite all the difficulties, the Antarctic is a great place to research the land, ocean, air, ice shelves and biology. It also has rich sources like coal, fresh water and seafood. More than 30 countries have built research stations in the Antarctic. During the past 40 years, China has built five stations: Changcheng, Zhongshan, Taishan, Kunlun and Qinling. With an average temperature ranging from -25℃ to -30℃ all year round in the Antarctic, scientists there don’t have many choices for traveling. If the weather is good, scientists will go outside to collect samples (标本) of water, rocks and other things. But when it’s too cold or windy outside, which happens quite often, they have to stay indoors and work in the various laboratories (实验室) at their stations. Scientists in Antarctica can balance work with recreation very well. They have found many ways to relax. At Zhongshan Station, for example, there is a sports field where they can play basketball, volleyball and badminton. Zhongshan Station is not far from stations built by Russia, India and Australia. Sometimes, people from the four stations will meet and hold big parties and sports events. Although life in the Antarctic can be tough, people there get to learn more about the unknown world and appreciate the beauty of nature.

Drinking enough water is important, especially for teenagers. Water helps regulate (调节) body temperature. When we are play or exercise, our bodies heat up, and we sweat to cool down. If we don’t drink enough water, we can become dehydrated (脱水的), which can result in tiredness and even dizziness (头晕). Another reason why water is so important is that water helps break down food in our stomachs and allows nutrients to be absorbed more easily. Without enough water, we might have some tummy (肚子) troubles. Drinking enough water is also good for our skin. Water can help keep our skin looking fresh and youthful. Most importantly, water is crucial for our brains. Being even a little dehydrated can affect how we feel, how energetic we are and how well we can think. Drinking enough water can help us think more clearly and stay focused all day. So, how much water should we drink? The usual advice is to drink at least eight glasses of water a day, but it can be different for each person, depending on our activities and the weather. A good way to remember is to drink when we’re thirsty and have a glass or two with each meal.

C组 1.（2025·广东广州·一模） On January 28 2025, a special performance called YangBOT amazed audiences at the CCTV Spring Festival Gala, China’s most watched TV show. Directed by famous filmmaker Zhang Yimou, the show mixed traditional Chinese Yangko dance with modern robot technology. In the performance, humanoid robots (robots shaped like humans) dressed in colorful costumes danced Yangko, a joyful folk dance from northern China often seen during festival. They spun handkerchiefs instantly and formed creative group pattern. These robots were developed by Unitree (宇树科技),  a Chinese robotics company. This was not Unitree’s first success—in 2021, their robot cows named “Ben Ben” danced as backup for singer Andy Lou. The robots learned dance moves through AI and used laser navigation to move safely on the uneven stage, their strong joints (like knees with 360 N·m power) helped them balance perfectly during fast steps. Zhang Yimou explained, “these dancer isn’t just for fun—it shows how technology can bring new life to traditions.” Thanks to these innovations, the robots won the hearts of millions. On social media, topics like “Robots Yangko” trended quickly. Young viewer called it “cool” while older audiences loved its humor and festive spirit.

The best way to be ready for a sudden fire is to study this guide carefully and review it from time to time. Here is what we should do when a fire suddenly breaks out. (1) Have a clear exit route (疏散路线) Before using the fire extinguisher, make sure you have a clear exit route. If you cannot put out the fire, you will need to make a safe exit. Also, make sure everyone else is out. (2) Report the fire Even if the fire appears manageable, you should always have the firemen on the way. Once they arrive, they can double-check to see if the fire has been completely put out. (3) Stand back Face the fire and keep your back to the clear exit. You should stay between 1.8 and 2.5 meters away from the flames (火焰) as you prepare to use the fire extinguisher. (4) Use the extinguisher It can be difficult to think clearly during a fire. One method to help you remember how to use an extinguisher is to remember “PASS”: ►P-Pull: Pull the pin on the fire extinguisher. ►A-Aim: Aim low. Point the nozzle at the bottom of the fire. ►S-Squeeze (挤压): Squeeze the handle to let out the extinguishing chemicals. ►S-Sweep: Sweep the nozzle from side to side until the fire is put out. (5) Keep an eye on the fire After the fire appears to be out, continue to watch the fire area to make sure it doesn’t start burning again. If the fire starts again, repeat the “PASS”. (6) Get to a safe place Once the fire is out, or if you are unable to put it out, find a place out of reach of the fire. 1．What is the text about? A．How to prevent a big fire. B．How to use an extinguisher. C．How to keep an extinguisher. D．How to deal with a sudden fire. 2．Which order of the pictures describes “PASS”? A．③②④① B．②①④③ C．②④③① D．③①④② 3．In which theme activity can the text be used? A．A better self. B．Safety with me. C．Young scientists D．Home, sweet home. 3.（2025·广州·一模）I love snakes, while my mother does not. Lots of people who are afraid of snakes have never seen one. Neither has my mother. So where does the fear come from? To find out the answer, scientists put pictures with snakes, pandas, cats, flowers and many other things in front of a group of people of all ages, even babies. People found snakes faster than flowers. It wasn’t just snakes. They found “black faces”, another example, spiders (蜘蛛), faster than “safe” things like flowers. It seems we find things that might be dangerous to us faster. Maybe we are born to be afraid of them. Scientists also found people learned to fear snakes faster. Why did they fear snakes? Most of them said that in their experiences, they were influenced by the scared voice and faces of those who met snakes, but wasn’t bitten by snakes. After all, if we had to be bitten by a snake to learn that it’s dangerous, we might learn our lesson too late. So why is it important whether we are afraid of snakes or not? It may not matter much to us, but it is really very important to snakes, People protect animals they like, not animals they fear. Snakes may not be as cute as pandas, but they’re just of the same importance to the environment. Snakes eat insects and mice that are pests (害虫) to humans. Snakes are also food for other animals so, when we kill snakes, we’re breaking the balance. How can we reduce our fears to give snakes a chance? Scientists did a study recently. Some volunteer students went on a field trip. With the help of safety tips, everyone could safely touch and hold a snake, It turns out that snakes aren’t so bad when you know the way to stay with them. Most people who were afraid of snakes before the field trip weren’t afraid afterwards. In fact, snakes even became some students’ favourite animal. Hmm, maybe I should take my mum on the next field trip. 1．In the writer’s opinion, what are “black faces”? A．Things make people feel dangerous. B．Faces of animals in the pictures. C．Things that have black faces. D．Faces of people in danger. 2．What does the writer mean by saying “we might learn our lesson too late” in the third paragraph? A．We might never see any snakes. B．We are not in danger any longer. C．We might not fear snakes any more. D．We might already be killed by snakes. 3．How do the scientists help people reduce the fear of snakes? A．By teaching people skills of killing snakes. B．By driving snakes away through a field trip. C．By teaching them the right way to stay with them. D．By giving snakes a chance to show they are good. 4．What can we learn from scientists after reading the passage? A．Don’t be afraid and find chances in danger. B．Always remember to give people safety tips. C．Face failures bravely and never give up trying. D．Find problems and do research to solve them. 5.（2025·广州·模拟预测）Teenagers are advised to get eight to ten hours of sleep each night. However, most of them fail to get enough sleep because of heavy schoolwork. And plenty of young people are experiencing a sleep problem, which increases their risk of mental ill-health (精神健康状况不佳) . Have you ever thought the mobile phone can help teenagers manage their mental health by supporting a good night’s sleep? Sleep Ninja is a free app created by the Black Dog Institute, a mental health research organization. It is the only app that is specially designed to improve teenagers’ sleep. So far, the results have been encouraging. The app helps teenagers get more sleep and reduce anxiety. According to a study, 90% of the app users showed some improvements in insomnia (失眠) and 60% reported improvements in sleep quality. At the same time, the rate of depression (抑郁症) dropped from 77% at the start of the study to 44% after using the app. Sleep Ninja is not only helpful but also easy to use. Those who use the app only need to set a time when they need to get up in the morning. Then the app will work backwards (向后) , deciding when they should be in bed. It will also give them a warning to start a pre-bed habit. Seeing the warning, they’d better take a hot shower, brush teeth and get ready for sleep.

While participation (参与) in organized sports has both social and physical benefits (益处) for young children, concerns about safety and benefits increase as participants get younger. Though most children are naturally likely to be physically active, not all kids are willing to get up and move. Soccer coach Joseph Luxbacher says, “Every kid has the potential (潜能) to be a good sportsman in different kinds of sports. Taking part in organized sports such as the school soccer team introduces direction to children’s physical activities. Following a team schedule gives kids a set time and place to exercise. As a result, kids can be safe from accidents and be protected against hurt.” What’s more, taking part in organized sports gives children time to communicate with others and showing good sportsmanship. For young children who may still be very self-centerd, taking part in team sports teaches them to think about the group and encourages them to be happy about the success of their teammates. Kids can also benefit from spending time with their coach and having a chance to develop a positive relationship with an adult other than their parents, especially if the coach is both skilled and devoted to being a positive mentor (导师). Playing organized sports requires a lot of time for practice and games, so it would seem that this could influence students’ study. However, it can ameliorate students’ test performance. That’s because to play organized sports well, players have to memorize information, do repetitive actions, and learn from teammates. All these types of learning skills can make students score higher. Though it can come from many different sources—parents, coaches, teammates or themselves—many children who take part in organized sports feel pressured to succeed. While a little stress can be helpful in leading children to perform with increased focus and strength, too much stress will leave young kids feeling very tired. Organized sports are more likely to put the right amount of pressure on them. 1．What do Joseph Luxbacher’s words show? A．Organized sports can achieve kids’ potential. B．Most children prefer free play to organized sports. C．Organized sports can better protect kids from getting hurt. D．Most children have a set time and place to exercise. 2．What is the third paragraph mainly about? A．Kids can make wise decisions by playing organized sports. B．Kids can meet better coaches by playing organized sports. C．Kids can learn social skills by playing organized sports. D．Kids can better communicate with parents by playing organized sports. 3．What does the underlined word “ameliorate” mean in Paragraph 4? A．Decrease. B．Record. C．Recognize. D．Improve. 4．Where is the article probably from? A．A soccer coach’s diary. B．Sports magazine. C．English textbook. D．A football club poster. 7.（2025·广东广州·一模）What can drones do? Their many uses include taking pictures from the sky, watching wild animals and sending packages of goods. Now these small flying robots are leading a big change in farming. With cameras and some data-collecting devices, drones provide us with an eye in the sky. Here are a few of the farming jobs drones can do. Looking for sick crops Drones can scan crops using different kinds of light. In this way, they carefully examine the fields and produce detailed pictures that can help us find sickly yellow plants within fields of green. Drones can also check for bacteria that are harmful to crops in the air from a few kilometers away, so that farmers can try to find ways to protect their crops before the bacteria get to them. Water watch Most fields aren’t perfectly flat. There might be hills, slopes and holes. After watering, some places may dry out faster. Some spots might not get water at all. Drones can scan the field and make a 3D map. Using the map, farmers can find out which parts of a field are dry or need improvement. This can make sure every crop can get enough water to stay healthy. Spraying pesticide(喷洒农药) Different parts of a field might have different heights. Drones can check for this when flying above the land. Then, they change their height and therefore spray the correct amount of pesticide over each part of the field. This way works much better than traditional pesticide spraying. Drones can finish spraying a field up to five times faster than with traditional machinery, according to a study. This can stop insects from damaging the crops in a shorter time. 1．How many farming jobs done by drones are introduced in the passage? A．3 B．4 C．5 D．6 2．Which of the following use of drones is NOT mentioned in the passage? A． B． C． D． 3．What advantage of drones is mainly discussed in this passage? A．Drones can make farmers’ lives easier. B．Drones can have a clearer look of fields. C．Drones can finish farming jobs faster. D．Drones can help crops grow better. 8.（2025·广州·模拟预测） For more than a month, the world has been excited about a new AI model, DeepSeek-R1. It was developed by DeepSeek, a Chinese business based in Hangzhou, Zhejiang province, The new AI came out on Jan 20. In just one week, it beat OpenAI’s ChatGPT and became the top free application in Apple’s App Store, reported Xínhua. Its developer said that DeepSeek-R1 is as good at difficult tasks as other big models but needs less computing power. It is also the cheapest of its kind and took only about 5.57 million US dollars (40.58 million yuan) to develop. That is the way less than the hundreds of millions or even billions that US businesses have had to spend in building similar AI models. DeepSeek-R1’s success largely came from its special training method. Traditionally, AI is trained in two ways. One is Chain-of-Thought (CoT, 思维链), where AI learns to break problems into smaller, simpler steps. The other is Supervised Fine-Tuning (SFT, 监督微调), which works by showing Al lots of practice problems along with the right answers for it to find a pattern. DeepSeek-R1, however, used Reinforcement Learning (RL, 强化学习) as the main method. Xinhua reported. In RL, AI learns by trying different things. It gets rewards for correct actions and gets punished for mistakes. For example, in a game, it gets points for picking up litter and ▲ . Over time, it works out the best solution all by itself. This is how DeepSeek-R1 has grown to be a reasoning model, which is a new type of AI, named Microsoft engineer Vinayak Hegde. Common AI models, like GPT-40, usually just give direct answers. But reasoning models are trained to both think and show the process. 1．What does the underlined word “it” refer to? A．Deepseek-R1. B．UpenA1. C．ChatGPT. D．Chain-of-Thought. 2．What are the reasons for DeepSeek-R1’s success? ①Its low cost.      ②Its big models.        ③Its simple pattern.   ④Its special method. A．①③ B．③④ C．②③ D．①④ 3．Which of the following can be put in ▲ ? A．collects much information B．solves the problem itself C．loses ones for breaking a glass D．uses the main method again 4．What’s the best title of the passage? A．How Deepseek-R1 Developed. B．A New AI Model Excited the World. C．The Increasing Technology of China. D．The Popularity of Deepseek-R1. 9.（2025·广州·模拟预测） ① AI (artificial intelligence 人工智能) and machine learning refer to the ability of machines to learn and act intelligently. It means they can make decisions, finish tasks, and even tell the possible future results based on what they learn from data (数据). ②AI and machine learning already play a bigger role in everyday life than you might imagine. Health care, banking, video games, every search on the Internet you make ..., all are driven by AI. ③AI is going to change almost every field of modern life. Stephen Hawking said, “Success in creating AI would be the biggest event in human history.” And Hawking added at once, “Unluckily, it might also be the last, unless we learn how to avoid the risks.” ④____▲____, especially when you consider some countries are racing to develop AI-enabled autonomous weapons (人工智能自主武器). It is also going to change and take the place of many human jobs. The same worries also come from the public. According to the survey result from Centre for the Governance of AI, 91% of the people (tend to and totally) agree that “AI is a technology that requires careful management” in Europe. ⑤But rather than agreeing with an idea of a helpless future where all human jobs are given over to robots, some people believe AI will make our working lives better. It will improve the work of humans, and new jobs will appear to take the place of the old ones. ⑥ What’s more, machines become more intelligent and they are able to finish more human tasks. Things which only belong to humans like creativity and critical (批判性的) thinking will become even more valuable in the future. ⑦Like it or not, AI is here. Maybe changing ourselves and managing it well are the best way out. Just as Benjamin Franklin once said, “When you’re finished changing, you’re finished.” 1．Which paragraph does the diagram mainly support? A．② B．③ C．④ D．⑤ 2．Which sentence can be put in the ____▲____?

This winter we see them in almost every fruit shop. Most of them come from Chile by ship. It can take up to 30 days for them to reach us in China. Have you ever wondered how they are able to stay fresh after such a long journey at sea? ②We have a technology called Controlled Atmosphere (CA). The technology is based on an interesting rule. Fruits and vegetables still “breathe” after being picked. In a normal environment, they interact (相互作用) with the air. It makes them go bad faster. Microorganisms (微生物) in the air also speed up the process. ③However, with CA technology, we can create a safer environment for fruits and vegetables. We achieve this by lowering the concentration (浓度) of O2 in the storage (存储) area. This helps to slow down their metabolism (代谢). At the same time, the amount of CO2 rises. Sometimes, other gases like Na are also added to the environment in small amounts. The aim is to “put these fruits and vegetables to sleep.” ④The idea of CA technology is not new. It goes back to the 1800s. In the 1920s, Franklin and Cyril of Cambridge University researched fruit “breath”. It led to the world’s first commercial (商业化的) apple storage using the “gas storage” technique in 1929. ⑤The technology was further improved by Robert, a professor at Cornell University. He visited Cambridge in the late 1930s to study the work of Franklin and Cyril. He brought his new knowledge back to New York. In his research, Robert tried to work out how to make the local apples stay fresh for a longer time. As a result of his work, apples could last until the spring. ⑥Today, CA technology has found its way into many aspects of our lives. It plays a big role in large cold storage areas. It’s like a magical guard that helps keep all kinds of products fresh for a longer time. Even in the flower industry, CA technology makes a difference. It helps flowers to look fresh for long-distance transportation. When they arrive at our homes, they are still in perfect condition. 1．What’s the purpose in writing Paragraph 1? A．To introduce ships for cherries. B．To lead into the subject. C．To show popularity of cherries. D．To discuss cherry prices. 2．What makes fruits and vegetables go bad faster in a normal environment? A．The high temperature in the environment. B．The stop of their own “breathing” process. C．The low temperature within the storage area. D．Their interaction with air and air microorganisms. 3．Which of the following shows the structure of this passage? A． B． C． D． 4．What is the best title for this passage? A．The Science Behind Fruit Breathing B．The History of Fruit Storage Technology C．How CA Technology Keeps Things Fresh D．The Journey of Cherries from Chile to China 11.（2025·广州·模拟预测）History can be an interesting subject for many students. And history is also a collection of stories. Learning history can help us better understand the present and make us wiser. If you have trouble in matching the event in history and its time in your mind, a timeline will be a good helper. Here are some suggestions to help you make a timeline. Firstly, make a list of important dates. Find key dates from your reading materials and class notes. And then make a list with dates in time order. Secondly, organize your timeline on paper. Draw a straight line with dates from the oldest to the latest. Then draw a box under each date and begin filling it with the key information you need to remember. Make sure it includes information such as important people, events and places. Thirdly, move forward in time. Continue filling in your dates in your timeline along with descriptions of what happened and why they are important. Make notes of connections among events, people and places as you go by drawing arrows (箭头). Use different colors to make the timeline visually (视觉上的) memorable. This can also help you quickly find important names, themes or other key terms that appear in your timeline. Fourthly, test yourself. Once you have finished your timeline, put it away and try to recreate a new timeline. This will tell you what you really know. If you don’t get everything right for the first time, you will know that you keep the history information in mind. 1．The underlined part in Para. l means “ _________”.

The species’ arrival has led to a fall in the number of whistling thorn trees, which lions hide behind before they hunt zebras. The big-headed ant is one of the world’s worst invasive species. This means it is not from the area. The ants arrived in Kenya from southern Africa about 15 years ago, and since then have been attacking the acacia ants—ants that have lived there long ago. Acacia ants live in and look after the whistling thorn trees that spread over the landscape. In what’s known as a “symbiotic relationship (共生关系)”, the acacia ants feed on the trees and use them for cover. In return, they protect the trees from animals that might eat too much of them, like elephants or giraffes. They do this by moving and attacking together. Big-headed ants are very aggressive and they eat acacia ants and their eggs. As a result, the number of acacia ants is falling. Big-headed ants don’t protect whistling thorn trees either, so with fewer acacia ants, the trees are in trouble. Professor Todd Palmer, one of the study’s writers, and his team, found that in areas where big-headed ants appear, elephants destroy (破坏) five to seven times more trees than in areas free from the invaders. This means the landscape is more open and zebras are better able to spot any lion following them. Zebra killed in these areas are three times lower than in tree-filled places. The good news is that the lion population remains stable (稳定的) because the big cats are looking elsewhere for their lunch—they appear to be hunting buffalo (野牛) instead of zebras. This probably means that the tiny ants have caused lions to change their behaviour too, forcing them to hunt in larger groups for the bigger, heavier buffalo. Professor Palmer said, “We often find it’s the little things that rule the world.” 1．In the “symbiotic relationship”, ________. A．big-headed ants look after whistling thorn trees B．acacia ants feed on animals like elephants C．whistling thorn trees provide cover for acacia ants D．whistling thorn trees protect acacia ants from animals 2．The underlined word “aggressive” has the closest meaning to “________”. A．ready to attack B．willing to help C．easy to grow D．difficult to see 3．According to Paragraphs 4 & 5, which shows the CORRECT order of the changes? ① The landscape is more open. ② The number of acacia ants is falling. ③ Whistling thorn trees are in trouble. ④ Fewer zebras are killed in this area. A．②③④① B．②③①④ C．③②①④ D．③②④① 4．What’s the best title for the text? A．An Invasive Species of Ant B．Changes of the Whistling Thorn Trees C．Acacia Ants and Big-headed Ants D．Tiny Ants Can Change Lions’ Diets 13.（2025·广州·模拟预测）On average, firefighters get a fire call every 24 seconds in the US. Every 87 seconds, a home fire happens. Just between January lst, 2019 and January 1st, 2024, there were 11,180 home fire deaths in the country. But the best escape time for a fire is just three minutes or less. So everyone should pay attention to fire safety at home. To avoid starting a fire, we must know common causes. Cooking tools are the number one cause of home fires. Be especially careful when using them. Never leave the kitchen while cooking and make sure the tools are completely off after cooking. Electrical appliances (电器) can lead to a fire, so check them often to make sure they are working properly. Smoking is another common cause of home fires. It’s never a good idea to smoke indoors, so take a few steps to go out. Last, don’t forget little kids. They usually find fire exciting and think of fire as a toy. So keep them away from fire and teach them about dangers of fire. How can we prevent home fires? The following tips may help. Get smoke alarms.

It is a way of turning old or unnecessary things into something useful and often beautiful. Is it the same as recycling? Recycling usually takes old things, like paper and glass, and breaks them down to make a new product. When you upcycle an object, you are probably doing something different. You can simply refashion it. For example, you might make a bag out of an old T-shirt. Also, the upcycled object is usually in the same, or even better condition. Upcycling isn’t a new idea. Some of the best examples of modem-day upcycling come from the old times. In those days, things were repurposed over and over until they were no longer useful. Upcycling is a way of life. Things shouldn’t be just thrown away when they can be saved and turned into something useful. It’s clear that upcycling is green. It is also considered to be more environmentally friendly than recycling. Upcycling can just require your own ideas and work, but recycling requires energy (能源) or water to break down things. Grace, a young woman from the UK, takes used tea bags and turns them into dresses, shoes and even hats. Every day she drinks some tea, then dries out the tea bags with the tea still in them. When they’re dry, she takes the tea out and puts the bags together to make an item of clothing. This can take a long time, but Grace has made lots of artworks. In fact, no matter you create objects from old things or buy ready-made products from upcycled things, both ways are helpful for the environment and can bring you something that’s both beautiful and useful. Get started today! 1．What does the underlined word “refashion” mean in paragraph 2? A．Break down useless things. B．Collect used things. C．Create things out of old ones. D．Come up with good ideas. 2．How is upcycling different from recycling? A．It’s a completely new idea. B．It needs more energy. C．It requires more time and work. D．It’s a greener way of life. 3．Why does the writer tell the story of Grace in paragraph 5? A．To list the steps of doing upcycling. B．To give a good example of upcycling. C．To express a different idea of upcycling. D．To provide basic knowledge of upcycling. 4．What is the main purpose of the passage? A．To encourage people to do upcycling. B．To introduce the history of upcycling. C．To compare upcycling with recycling. D．To explain the importance of recycling 【答案】1．C 2．D 3．B 4．A 【导语】本文主要讲述了升级回收 （upcycling）的概念、与普通回收（recycling）的区别、其环保优势以及通过 Grace 的故事展示了 “升级回收 ” 的实际应用，旨在鼓励人们进行“升级回收 ”。 1． 词义猜测题。根据“ For example, you might make a bag out of an old T-shirt”可知，refashion的意思是“用旧的东西创造新的东西”，故选C。 2．细节理解题。根据“It’s clear that upcycling is green.

In recent years, scientists have done research about the feelings of cows, frogs and pandas. ▲ It says that humans can tell whether a chicken is happy or sad by listening to its calls. The researchers put a bowl behind a door. Inside the bowl, sometimes, there was something chickens love to eat, such as rice or insects. Sometimes, there was nothing. When the chickens saw food behind the door, they seemed happy and produced fast and loud sounds, known as food calls. When there wasn’t food, the chickens made low and long noises to express disappointment. The researchers recorded all these sounds and studied their waves. Then the researchers chose 16 recordings of such chicken noises. Half were from the chickens seeing the food and half were from the chickens finding no food. The recordings were played to 194 volunteers. Sixty-nine percent of the volunteers correctly understood whether the chickens were feeling happy or not, and some of them even had no experience of taking care of chickens. The result shows that humans have the natural ability to understand the feelings of chickens. Hopefully, this finding can bring about new technology to help with chicken-raising, a big industry in many countries. Some scientists are already working on a smart computer program that can identify chickens’ feelings. This is good news for farmers who want to make the birds happier and healthier. 1．Which of the following can be put in “________” in Paragraph 1? A．Humans may not like animals.

Because of too much fishing, almost 90 percent of the worldwide population of large fish—the ones we usually eat—has disappeared. If we don’t act, these animals will totally disappear. That will influence every animal in the ocean. The demand for fish is growing. Almost a billion people around the world get their protein (蛋白质) mostly from fish. Doctors praise seafood for being low in fat. But what seems like a healthy choice for humans is causing a disaster to our oceans. “People are consuming (消费) too much,” says Lance Morgan, a scientist at the Marine Conservation Biology Institute. A dish of tuna in restaurants costs more than just one animal's life. When fish like tuna disappear from the ecosystem (生态系统), the ocean’s food chain (链) breaks down. Animals such as sharks, which normally eat tuna, may die because they find no food. The news may be scary, but taking action from now on can prevent harm that hasn’t happened yet. World organizations are ordering countries to stop fishing too much. The Monterey Bay Aquarium gives seafood choices to anyone hoping to keep healthy without destroying the environment. “If you care about wildlife, first spend time and think about your own values and beliefs,” says Morgan. “Then decide what you’re going to eat.” 1．How does the writer start the text? A．By giving a fact. B．By asking a question. C．By telling a story. D．By using a saying. 2．What does the underlined word “demand” in Paragraph 2 probably mean? A．Wish. B．Support. C．Need. D．Price. 3．From Paragraph 3, we know that ________. A．if sharks die out, tuna will die out soon B．tuna will be more popular in restaurants C．tuna plays an important role in the ecosystem D．tuna disappeared because they found no food 4．What’s the purpose of the text? A．To tell people to stop polluting our oceans. B．To tell people to protect wildlife in oceans. C．To tell people to avoid eating too much seafood. D．To tell people to live a balanced and healthy life. 5．What does the last paragraph of the article explain ________. A．We need to care about wildlife B．We need to eat wild animals C．We need to reflect on our own values and beliefs D．We don’t want to protect wild animals 【答案】1．A 2．C 3．C 4．B 5．C 【导语】本文作者通过科学家10年对金枪鱼的研究数据，向读者说明由于人们对鱼类需求的增加，造成了海洋生态系统的破坏，呼吁人们保护海洋中的野生动物。 1．推理判断题。根据“After a 10-year project to count tuna and other large fish in the world’s oceans, scientists have made a very surprising discovery...”可知，作者根据科学家研究发现事实引入本文内容。故选A。 2．词句猜测题。根据划线单词所在句子后面内容“Almost a billion people around the world get their protein (蛋白质) mostly from fish. Doctors praise seafood for being low in fat.”可知，很多人从鱼肉中获取蛋白质，医生也称赞海洋食物低脂肪，推测出因此造成了对鱼类需求的增加。因此，demand意为“需求”，与need同义。故选C。 3．推理判断题。根据“When fish like tuna disappear from the ecosystem (生态系统), the ocean’s food chain (链) breaks down.”可知，金枪鱼在生态系统中起着重要作用。故选C。 4．推理判断题。根据“If we don’t act, these animals will totally disappear.”和“If you care about wildlife, first spend time and think about your own values and beliefs”可知，作者通过本文想要呼吁人们保护海洋中的野生动物。故选B。 5．细节理解题。根据“ ‘If you care about wildlife, first spend time and think about your own values and beliefs,’ says Morgan. ‘Then decide what you’re going to eat.’ ”可知，作者在最后一段表明了我们需要反思我们自己的价值观和信仰，故选C。 6.（2023·广东广州·中考真题）People believe that every word has its correct meaning(s). When we are not sure, we usually check online, or turn to our teachers or dictionaries. But do you know how dictionaries were made in the past? Dictionary writers first read the important books of the period or the subject that the dictionary was about. As they read, they copied necessary information on cards: interesting words, common words—both in their daily uses and unusual uses, and also the sentences where they were used. That is to say, the words, along with the uses of each word, were collected. For a really big dictionary, millions of such cards were collected. This task could last for years. As the cards were collected, they were put in alphabetical order (A—Z). When this was done, there would be several hundred cards for each single word. Then, to define (定义) a word, the dictionary writer placed its hundreds of cards before him. He read the cards closely, threw away some, read the rest again, and divided up the cards according to what he thought were the common uses of the word. Finally, he wrote the definitions, following the hard-and-fast rule: each definition must come from an example on a certain card in front of him. So, the writing of a dictionary was not a task of inventing meanings of words, but a task of recording their meanings. The writer of a dictionary was a historian, not a law maker. As time develops, the way of producing dictionaries has greatly changed. Nowadays, we can use online dictionaries too. When choosing our words in speaking or writing, we can be guided by the dictionary. However, we cannot be controlled by it, because new situations, new experiences, new inventions, and new feelings, are always pushing us to give new uses to old words. 1．Why did dictionary writers read important books? A．To know more about the period. B．To collect words and their uses. C．To understand different subjects. D．To learn to use interesting words. 2．Which shows the correct steps of how dictionaries were made in the past?              A．①-③-④-② B．①-②-④-③ C．③-④-②-① D．③-①-④-② 3．What can we learn from the passage about dictionary writing in the past? A．It should be done by historians. B．It was a task of inventing and recording. C．It was long-time hard work. D．It had to use the law-making rules. 4．What does the writer advise us to do when we choose words in communication? A．Be open to the new uses of words. B．Follow the dictionary strictly. C．Use online dictionaries instead. D．Try to create new words. 【答案】1．B 2．D 3．C 4．A 【导语】本文主要介绍了过去词典是如何制作的。 1．推理判断题。根据“As they read, they copied necessary information on cards: interesting words, common words—both in their daily uses and unusual uses, and also the sentences where they were used. That is to say, the words, along with the uses of each word, were collected.”（当他们阅读时，他们把必要的信息抄写在卡片上：有趣的单词，常见的单词——包括日常使用和不常用的单词，以及使用这些单词的句子。也就是说，这些单词以及每个单词的用法都被收集了起来。）可推知词典编纂者要读重要的书籍是为了收集单词及其用法，故选B。 2．细节理解题。根据“As they read, they copied necessary information on cards: interesting words, common words-both in their daily uses and unusual uses, and also the sentences where they were used.”、“As the cards were collected, they were put in alphabetical order (A—Z). ”、“Then, to define (定义) a word, the dictionary writer placed its hundreds of cards before him. He read the cards closely, threw away some, read the rest again, and divided up the cards according to what he thought were the common uses of the word.”、“Finally, he wrote the definitions, following the hard-and-fast rule: each definition must come from an example on a certain card in front of him.”可知，过去制作字典首先把有趣的单词，日常使用和不寻常使用的常见单词，以及使用它们的句子记在卡片上；然后收集卡片时，按字母顺序（A-Z）排列；其次筛选卡片，根据词典编纂者认为的单词的常用用法将卡片分开；最后是按照硬性规定写下了定义，每个定义都必须来自他面前某张卡片上的一个例子。所以正确的步骤是③-①-④-②。故选D。 3．推理判断题。根据“For a really big dictionary, millions of such cards were collected.”（对于一本真正的大字典来说，收集了数百万张这样的卡片。）可知过去编纂词典是一项长期艰苦的工作。故选C。 4．细节理解题。根据“However, we cannot be controlled by it, because new situations, new experiences, new inventions, and new feelings, are always pushing us to give new uses to old words.”可知作者建议大家在使用词典时不能被它所控制，因为新的情况、新的经历、新的发明和新的感受总是在推动我们对旧词赋予新的用途，也就是接受词汇的新用法。故选A。 7.（2023·广东·中考真题）Some animals can easily find their way home after a long journey. How do they make it? Scientific research shows that they are born with certain unusual abilities for direction. A certain kind of ants, for example, can count their steps to avoid getting lost. They can go as far as 110 metres and bring food home. These ants live in the open desert (沙漠), so they have nothing to guide them along the way. It’s like someone walking six kilometres through a dark forest. Some fish have an unbelievable sense of smell. They can smell even a single drop of their home water in a large sea area. Some sea birds have a similar ability. They are able to make a smell map of their flying area. Some animals can sense the earth’s magnetic field (磁场), while humans can’t. This magnetic field guides a certain kind of fish when they swim a long way to a place and then back. How can this kind of fish do that? It is still a mystery. Scientists have no good answers yet. However, animals with such unusual abilities still have difficulty dealing with environmental changes caused by human activities. For example, many birds depend on stars for direction, but they get lost easily at night when city lights are kept on all night. To solve this problem, we can simply turn off some lights at night. Clearly, one small act of humans may mean a lot to animals. 1．Where is this passage most probably from? A．A storybook. B．An art magazine. C．A guidebook. D．A science magazine. 2．How can a certain kind of ants find their way? A．By imagining the way. B．By counting their steps. C．By bringing food together D．By walking through a forest. 3．What does the underlined word “mystery” in paragraph 4 probably mean? A．Secret. B．Choice. C．Reason. D．Feeling. 4．What are people advised to do according to the last paragraph? A．To help animals. B．To travel at night. C．To keep city lights on. D．To develop unusual abilities. 5．Which can be the best title for the passage? A．Birds’ Sense of Light B．Fish’s Sense of Smell C．Animals’ Sense of Direction D．Animals’ Sense of Magnetic Field 【答案】1．D 2．B 3．A 4．A 5．C 【导语】本文介绍了动物天生就具有某些不寻常的方向感。 1．推理判断题。本文是围绕“动物的方向感”展开，可以在科学杂志上看到。故选D。 2．细节理解题。根据“A certain kind of ants, for example, can count their steps to avoid getting lost.”可知一些蚂蚁可以通过数步数来避免迷路。故选B。 3．词句猜测题。根据“It is still a mystery. Scientists have no good answers yet.”可知科学家还没有答案，因此可推知划线部分“mystery”与A选项“秘密”意思相近。故选A。 4．细节理解题。根据“However, animals with such unusual abilities still have difficulty dealing with environmental changes caused by human activities...Clearly, one small act of humans may mean a lot to animals.”可知本段说明人类的一个小举动可能对动物意义重大，因此是建议人们要帮助动物。故选A。 5．最佳标题题。本文介绍了动物天生就具有某些不寻常的方向感，“动物的方向感”为最佳标题。故填C。 8.（2023·广东·中考真题） When it’s hot outside and we have to go out, surely we want to keep cool.

It holds all kinds of natural wonders. Among them in Colombia, a river stands out as “the most beautiful river” in the world. Locally called Camio Cristales, this special river lies in a national park. It is made up of several waterfalls rapids, and plenty of pools. For most of the year, Canio Cristales looks like a common river: clean, green, and rocky. However, during the short period between September and November, the river explodes（迸发）with life and color. It appears as any mix of colors including blue, green, yellow, orange, and a purplish red. So it is also known as the “River of Five Colors”. Although at first it may appear as if some chemicals were added to the water, this rainbow river is completely natural. Cafio Cristales’ colors are the result of a rare（稀有） water plant which needs sunlight to grow. The plants change color depending on how much sunlight they receive, and the amount is decided by the height and speed of the water. Therefore, it is possible for the plants to be totally colorless if the sunlight is too hard to get. They are a delicate plant. This makes them easily damaged in the water. Actually, the river faces some problems, including drier seasons, wildlife trouble, waste management, and budget （预算）cuts. In 2007, the park was forced to close because it was over-crowded with tourists. Now the park admits only 200 people a day and requires them to mind their behaviour. Today, Cano Cristales still shines among Colombia’s most popular natural attractions, drawing thousands of tourists every year. 1．When is the best time to visit Cafio Cristales? A．In January. B．In March. C．In June. D．In October. 2．Why is Cano Cristales colourful? A．A special plant lives in it. B．People add chemicals to it. C．The water is badly polluted. D．The weather is changeable there. 3．What does the underlined word “delicate” in paragraph 3 probably mean? A．Special. B．Weak. C．Lively. D．Beautiful. 4．What once caused the park to be closed? A．Too many visitors. B．The poor service. C．Too much rubbish. D．The wildlife problem. 5．What is the best title of the text? A．How to Visit Cano Cristales B．Natural Beauty in Colombia C．World’s Most Beautiful River D．Protecting the River of Five Colors 【答案】1．D 2．A 3．B 4．A 5．C 【导语】本文主要科普了关于世界上“最美丽的河流”的知识。 1．细节理解题。根据“However, during the short period between September and November, the river explodes（迸发）with life and color. It appears as any mix of colors including blue, green, yellow, orange, and a purplish red.”可知参观Cafio Cristales的最佳时间是在九月和十一月之间，故选D。 2．细节理解题。根据“Cafio Cristales’ colors are the result of a rare（稀有） water plant which needs sunlight to grow.”可知是因为一种特殊的植物生活在里面。故选A。 3．词义猜测题。根据“This makes them easily damaged in the water.”可知这种植物很容易在水中损坏，所以它很脆弱，故选B。 4．细节理解题。根据“In 2007, the park was forced to close because it was over-crowded with tourists.”可知2007年，由于游客过于拥挤，公园被迫关闭。故选A。 5．最佳标题题。根据“Among them in Colombia, a river stands out as “the most beautiful river” in the world.”可知本文主要科普了关于世界上“最美丽的河流”的知识，故选C。 10.（2022·广东广州·中考真题） Imagine you are in a new city. You ask someone how to get to a bookstore. They tell you to go straight, turn left, and you will find it on your left. In fact, you can also find your way with a phone. Now imagine you are in an outdoor game. You only have a map and a compass, and instead of running down a city road, you may need to run around in the woods, climb over rocks and go up and down hills. Welcome to orienteering! In the game of orienteering, players use a map and a compass to find stations. These stations are called controls. A special flag, usually in bright colours, marks each control. Controls are not easy to find. They may be in front of a big rock or behind a tree. In most of the games, you’ll have to find controls in numbered order, but in some games you can change the order. At each control, players mark a card they carry with them and the card will be marked in different ways ( See Figure 1 ). The cards are very important because players must find all the controls to win. If someone misses a control, they won’t have that mark on their cards. They might cross the finish line first, but the next person to finish with a full card will win the game. Orienteering Control Card Culture Note: The first compass was invented by ancient Chinese people. It helps you find your way by always pointing to the North. Name Start time Course Age Class Finish time 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 Figure 1 1．What will players carry in the game? A．A map, a compass and a flag. B．A flag, a compass and a card.

One important thing of our growth is to make decisions to help our friends and learn to support each other. This requires us to learn what it means to help friends and how to help them in right ways. The first step toward helping others is to identify that they need help. We all know that difficulties are part of our daily lives. However, sometimes small things can lead to more serious problems that require more help. It’s important to make sure when to help a friend. For example, you may pick up some signs that your friends are not acting like themselves. These signs show they may not be well. The next step toward helping others is to listen. Paying attention to others while listening is very important throughout our life. When we communicate with others, we need to learn when to speak and when not to. As listeners, we should try to understand what the speakers are feeling or experiencing and try to see things from their perspectives.

For example, you may pick up some signs that your friends are not acting like themselves. These signs show they may not be well”可知，确认什么时候帮助朋友是重要的，“identify”表达“识别，确认”，相当于“discover”。故选B。 3．段落大意题。根据“The next step toward helping others is to listen. Paying attention to others while listening is very important throughout our life”可知，第三段讲述帮助朋友接下来的一步是做一个好的聆听者。故选A。 4．推理判断题。根据第三段“As listeners, we should try to understand what the speakers are feeling or experiencing and try to see things from their perspectives”可知，如果在很严重的问题上朋友不听取你的建议，你应该努力弄懂朋友的感受和经历，努力从他们的角度看问题。可知需要弄清楚问题的原因。故选C。 A组 1.（2025·广东肇庆·一模）“A red sky in the morning is a sailor’s warning. A red sky at night is a sailor’s joy!” Perhaps this saying came to mind if you saw a beautiful sunrise or sunset. ▲ The sun is low on the sea at sunrise and sunset. At these times of the day, sunlight has to travel through more of the air to reach us. When light hits the air, it is spread. This spreading effects the blue part of the light most. So when the sunlight reaches our eyes, there is more of the red and yellow parts of the light remaining. What can red sky tell us about the weather? In the areas where weather systems move usually from the west to the east, the “red sky” saying is often true. A red sky sunrise suggests that an area of high pressure and fine weather has moved out towards the east. This allows an area of lower pressure and worse weather—perhaps some cold air and rain—to move in from the west during the day. On the other hand, a red sky sunset tells us the worst weather has become better when higher pressure and nicer weather are coming from the west for the next day. Across the tropical (热带的) areas, the “red sky” saying is an unreliable method to guess the weather because larger tropical weather systems usually move from east to west. So next time when you see a wonderful sunrise or sunset, you’ll know the coming weather. 1．The writer uses the “red sky” saying in the beginning of the passage to ________. A．help us picture a beautiful view of the red sky B．show how wonderful the sunrise and sunset are C．show the connection between the red sky and the weather D．tell us a sailor’s interesting story on the sea 2．Which sentence can be best put into ▲ ? A．What causes a red sky at sunrise and sunset? B．How does the sunlight travel through the air? C．Where does the light spread at sunrise and sunset? D．Why does the blue part of the light reach our eyes? 3．If you see a red sky at sunset in Beijing, how will the weather be the next day? A． B． C． D． 4．What does the underlined word “unreliable” in Paragraph 4 probably mean? A．Useful. B．Undependable. C．Unusual. D．Important. 5．What’s the best title for the passage? A．The Magic of Sunrises and Sunsets B．The Relationship between Red Skies and Weather C．A Traditional Saying for Sailors D．Weather Systems in Different Areas 【答案】1．C 2．A 3．A 4．B 5．B 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，叙述了有关红色天空与天气之间的联系。 1．推理判断题。根据“A red sky in the morning is a sailor’s warning. A red sky at night is a sailor’s joy” ，接着后文围绕红色天空与天气的关系展开论述，可知开头引用该俗语是为了展示红色天空和天气之间的联系。故选C。 2．推理判断题。根据“So when the sunlight reaches our eyes, there is more of the red and yellow parts of the light remaining”可知，此处应该是一个引出红色天空形成原因的句子。故选A。 3．推理判断题。根据“On the other hand, a red sky sunset tells us the worst weather has become better when higher pressure and nicer weather are coming from the west for the next day.”可知，日落时天空是红色的，意味着来自西方的高气压和好天气即将到来，第二天天气会变好。故选A。 4． 词义猜测题。根据后文“because larger tropical weather systems usually move from east to west” 可知，在热带地区，较大的热带天气系统通常从东向西移动，与前面提到的“在天气系统通常从西向东移动的地区，‘红色天空’的说法往往是正确的”情况不同，所以在热带地区“红色天空”的说法不能可靠地预测天气。unreliable表示“不可靠的”，与Undependable表示“不可靠的；不能信赖的”意思相近。 故选B。 5．最佳标题题。文章主要讲述了红色天空与天气的关系，解释了日出和日落时天空呈现红色的原因以及“红色天空”的说法在不同地区对天气预测的准确性。故选B。 2.（2025·广东东莞·一模）In recent years, more and more people are interested in electric vehicles. An electric vehicle is a vehicle that uses an electric motor instead of a gasoline engine (汽油发动机). Electric vehicles have many advantages. First, they are more environmentally friendly. They produce less pollution than gasoline-powered vehicles. Second, they are more energy-efficient. They can convert (转换) more of the energy from the battery into movement than gasoline engines. Third, they are quieter. The electric motor makes much less noise than a gasoline engine. However, electric vehicles also have some disadvantages. One of the main disadvantages is the limited driving range. Most electric vehicles can only travel about 100-300 kilometers on a single charge (充电). Another disadvantage is the long charging time. It can take several hours to fully charge an electric vehicle, while it only takes a few minutes to fill up a gasoline-powered vehicle.

Scientist have found the brain’s physical state and changes can lead to behavioral differences across ages and genders (性别). Around the age of 12, the areas of the brain that are used most will be strengthened and cells (细胞) in the brain that are not used will gradually die. What you do with your brain in your teen years probably decides how your brain will work for the rest of your life. How young people spend their time is of great importance. Different from earlier beliefs, the brain is still developing even in the early twenties. Areas of the brain that are related to emotion, decision making, reasoning, and problem solving are still not fully developed. This may explain why car accidents among young people are significantly higher than those among older people. Young people don’t have the necessary skills to make complex (复杂的) judgments while driving. ______. Girls are ready to process more challenging information earlier than boys. In addition, studies have shown that girls and boys process language input in different parts of their brains. Girls usually do better than boys in language, which means that they have more brain matter responsible for language skills. This kind of research raises important questions about how boys and girls should be taught in school. For example, the idea of single-sex education should perhaps be taken into consideration. Experts say that we would do well to revisit the timing of the subjects taught in school, as some parts of the brain develop before others. 1．According to the passage, young people are more likely to have car accidents because ________. A．they fail to realize the importance of skills. B．They don’t have the necessary skills in driving. C．certain areas in their brains are not fully developed. D．their brains might be influenced by their emotions. 2．Which of the following can be put in “________” in Paragraph 4? A．Cells in the brain that are not used will probably die. B．How brains develop has to do with language skills. C．Boys and girls should be taught differently in school. D．The way brains develop has to do with gender. 3．The word “revisit” in Paragraph 5 probably means “________”. A．consider once more B．visit once more C．deal with again D．come up with again 4．What can we learn from the passage? A．Earlier beliefs show the brain is still developing in the early twenties. B．Girls are better at language because they work harder. C．How people spend their time when they’re teenagers affects their future life. D．Gender makes no difference when it comes to the physical state of the brain. 5．Which would be the best title for this passage? A．Maps of the Brain B．The Developing Brain C．The Efficient Brain D．Genders and the Brain 【答案】1．C 2．C 3．A 4．C 5．B 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了人类的大脑在不断地发展，以及大脑发育与行为差异如年轻人车祸率高、男女语言能力差异等。 1．细节理解题。根据第三段第二句“Areas of the brain that are related to emotion, decision making, reasoning, and problem solving are still not fully developed. This may go some way toward explaining why car accident rates in young people are significantly higher than those among older people.”可知，大脑中与情感、决策、推理论证和问题解决有关的大脑区域尚未发育完全，这可以解释为何年轻人的交通事故发生率显著高于中老年人。故选C。 2．细节理解题。根据第四段第二句“Girls are ready to process more challenging information earlier than boys. In addition, studies have shown that girls and boys process language input in different parts of their brains. Girls usually do better than boys in language, which means that they have more brain matter responsible for language skills”可知，前文提到女孩在处理语言信息方面比男孩更早准备好，且女孩和男孩处理语言输入的大脑区域不同，后面提到这种研究引发了关于学校如何教育男孩和女孩的问题，所以此处应填入“男孩和女孩在学校应该接受不同的教育”。故选C。 3．词义猜测题。由上文“Experts say that we would do well to revisit the timing of the subjects taught in school, as some parts of the brain develop before others.”可知，这里是说专家认为我们最好重新考虑学校教授科目时间安排，所以是“consider once more”。故选A。 4．推理判断题。根据第二段第二句“What you do with your brain in your teen years probably decides how your brain will work for the rest of your life. It is clear, therefore, that how young people spend their time is of great importance”可知，文中提到如果青少年没完没了地看电视，那么大脑中与此有关的细胞就会活跃发达，其它部分会退化，因此，年轻人怎样花他们的时间对他们的未来发展、未来生活十分重要。由此判断出，人们在青少年时期如何打发时间会影响他们未来的生活。故选C。 5．标题归纳题。本文通篇介绍了大脑在不同年龄段（青少年到二十出头）的发育情况，以及大脑发育与行为差异（如年轻人车祸率高、男女语言能力差异等）展开，核心是大脑的发育，所以“The Developing Brain”最适合做标题 。故选B。 5.（2025·广东珠海·一模）When you come to Guangdong, you will be amazed by its rich and colorful intangible cultural heritage (非物质文化遗产).

Why do some people like them but others don’t? A new study has found that likes and dislikes from other people could be a reason. According to the research, people who show a clear dislike while eating vegetables can influence others. People may make facial expressions (面部表情) when eating. How does it influence a person watching them? A team of scientists in the UK did a study. They asked more than 200 young women to watch videos of other adults eating carrots. The people in the videos had different expressions while eating. They would smile, seem neither happy nor sad, or look disgusted. The study found that after people watched those videos of people with disgusted faces, they began to like carrots less. However, when someone had a smile while eating carrots, people watching them did not like carrots more. By watching others, humans learn which behaviors will be good for them. Scientists believe that people might avoid food that looks terrible. The research focused only on adults, but the team believe that the results could also work for children. This means, if children see their parents not enjoying certain foods, including vegetables, they might not want to eat them either. How does the behavior of adults influence children’s choices of food? The team said they hoped to understand more about it.

Your answer may be dogs or monkeys. Now, you can add one more to the list: sheep. Sheep has powerful face-recognition abilities. Researchers from the University of Cambridge trained eight sheep to recognize the faces of four famous people and pick them out from two different photos. One was a photo of an unknown person and the other was one of the four famous people. If the sheep chose the right photo, it could get food but nothing if they did it wrong. After some time, the sheep could connect the food with the correct photos and make the right choice 8 out of 10 times. Then the researchers gave them another task to see if the sheep could recognize the same person from a different angle. The photos showed only the left face or the right face. The animals were still able to recognize them, though their performance dropped by about 15%. In the last test, the researchers showed photos of their trainers along with a number of other people’s faces. Without any training, the sheep could pick out their trainers 7 out of 10 times. It is not surprising why sheep are smart. ▲ That means they can be useful models to help us understand brain diseases like Huntington’s disease. The study offers another way to learn how these abilities change, especially in sheep who carry the gene mutation (基因突变) that causes Huntington’s disease. 1．Why does the writer mention dogs and monkeys in the first paragraph? A．To tell the difference among animals. B．To show that sheep are as smart as them. C．To make people interested in their brains.

Hui nan tian is a special weather condition in southern China. It normally appears in spring when the temperature begins to rise and the humidity quickly increases. Before it arrives, there are usually a few cold days, with a temperature below 12°C． As the cold air goes away, warmer air quickly comes and the temperature rises, creating a lot of water vapour (蒸汽). Small water drops can be seen on windows and walls. For example, if the temperature is below 12°C from March 7th to 9th but suddenly rises on March 10th, hui nan rian will appear on March 10th. During hui nan tian, the humid weather makes it easy for bacteria (菌) to grow. Food goes bad easily, clothes stay wet and sofas can get moldy (发霉的). Things like televisions may breakdown when they get wet inside, which can be dangerous for people to turn them on. It can also make people feel tired and sick. Catching a cold is prevalent during this time, as the temperature changes quickly. Although the weather troubles people a lot, for nature, it can be helpful. Thanks to the humid weather, plants can grow better with enough water and warmer air. To cut down on the trouble caused by the lasting humid weather, scientists suggest that people in the south should close their windows in the morning and evening. At the same time, they should use an air conditioner to take away water from the air. It’s also useful to put newspapers on the floor, on tables and at the door to take in water and wet air. 1．Where is this passage probably from? A．A guide book. B．A story book. C．A nature magazine. D．A sports magazine. 2．Which of the following is TRUE about hui nan tian according to the passage? A．It always appears in summer. B．There is heavy rain every day.

But scientists have found that polar bear fur provides something more than that. It also has oil that keeps ice from building up at all. At first the researchers thought the structure of polar bear fur was what kept ice from sticking to it, but when they examined the fur under a microscope, they realized that wasn’t the case. They noticed something else, however: The fur was very oily. The team guessed that could be what kept the fur from freezing. To check their idea, they froze blocks of ice onto washed and unwashed polar bear fur, human hair, and ski equipment, which is covered with chemicals that reduce friction (摩擦力). Then they worked out how much force was needed to remove (移开) the ice from each of these materials. Ice was easily removed from the unwashed, oily polar bear fur and the ski equipment. It was harder to remove from the human hair and about four times harder to remove from the washed fur. After finding out why the ice wasn’t sticking, the team carefully studied the oil itself. They found that it was full of chemicals that keep ice away. Hopefully, the findings will lead to the creation of materials that don’t get icy. Now, some of the chemicals used to keep skis ice-free are harmful to the environment. 1．What do we know about polar bears’ fur? A．It is difficult to wash. B．It stops ice from forming. C．It is thicker than other furs. D．It produces heat for polar bears. 2．What did scientists believe avoided the buildup of ice on the fur in the beginning? A．The weight of the microscope. B．The oil of the fur. C．The material of the microscope. D．The structure of the fur. 3．What is paragraph 3 mainly about? A．The test of ice removal force. B．The tips on freezing ice blocks. C．The chemicals in polar bear fur. D．The comparison among materials. 4．Which product can benefit from the research findings? A．Ice maker. B．Ski shoe. C．Washing machine. D．Air conditioner. 5．In which part of a magazine can you read this passage? A．Culture. B．People. C．Science. D．Environment. 【答案】1．B 2．D 3．A 4．B 5．C 【导语】本文主要讲述了科学家对北极熊皮毛的研究，发现其不仅能够保暖，还能防止冰的积累。 1．细节理解题。根据“But scientists have found that polar bear fur provides something more than that.

They can’t talk. They can’t walk. And they can’t think like us. Or can they? A new BBC documentary series The Green Planet gives us a new look at plants. Released on January 10th on Bilibili, it uncovers the wonderful and dramatic ways that plants behave. Plants compete against each other to live. In the rainforests, different kinds of plants race for sunlight. The forest floor is described as a “battlefield” in the series as only two percent of the sunlight goes through it. Some plants spread their big leaves to reach light. But they are caught up in a vine (藤本植物) that tries to get the sunlight. Finally, they are both overtaken by a fast-growing balsa (轻木) tree. As the balsa has slippery hairs on its leaves, the vine can’t get a hold. Similarly, some trees make poisonous liquid to protect themselves. Plants also help each other and even communicate. In deserts, the roots of Euphrates poplar (胡杨) are connected. If a tree finds water, it will share it with others through the roots. Studies also show that plants use fungus (真菌) in the soil as a way to “talk” to each other. It’s kind of like how Wi-Fi works. If a tomato plant gets a leaf disease, it can tell nearby plants about it. The Green Planet not only lets us amaze at the plant world but pushes us to understand that plants are important. “Plants are the basis of all life, including ourselves. We depend upon them for every mouth of food that we eat and every lungful of air that we breathe,” said David Attenborough, presenter of the series.

Visitors don’t see real animals like bears or elephants. They see more than 50 animals created by hologram technology. The zoo not only provides a new zoo experience, but can also free real animals from their cages. To bring down the cost, Bruce, CEO of Hologram Zoo, built his factory where he worked on hologram technology. A special sleeping pill Sleeping problems are common in our stressful world. Many people use sleeping pills to get enough sleep. But they can be bad for our health. Here’s a “pill” that helps you fall asleep quickly without any side effects. It’s called “The Chill Pill”. It is not a pill but a small tool that you can hold in your hand. It sends out little electric pulses (电子脉冲) that can relax your brain and lower your stress levels. When you hold it, you will feel relaxed and fall asleep quickly. The easiest to repair Last year, around 5.3 billion mobile phones became waste. This created a need for phones that can be fixed easily instead of being thrown away. The newest phone called the G22, is the most advanced phone that can be easily repaired. If the screen breaks or the battery dies, anyone who has a small screwdriver (螺丝刀) and five minutes can put in a new one. This saves users a lot of time waiting for repair and keeps the phone from becoming a waste. Protecting the warming planet with AI’s help Methane Emissions (甲烷排放) are bad for Earth. They are a big reason for climate change. However, neither human eyes nor most satellites in space can see the emissions, so they are difficult to locate. A team of scientists developed a new AI-powered tool. They gave the AI 167, 825 satellite images (图像). It has now “learned” to find methane emission. With AI, scientists can get to know some of the strongest emission areas more quickly. 1．What’s special about Hologram Zoo in Australia? A．Seeing 50 bears or elephants. B．Freeing real animals.
