However, it has to finish.” “It will end one day,” I said. “I’m sure that Captain Nemo will let us go when he is ready.” “He will probably kill us when he is ready,” replied Ned. “We have no reason to be afraid. I am sure that we will be able to leave or get away some time in the future.” “We should take the chance now,” said Ned. In the end, I had to agree. I warned him that if we tried to get away and failed, the captain would never forgive us. We would never have another chance. “Tell me when you are ready,” I told him. However, the Nautilus dived into deep waters, and there was no chance to escape. A day or two later, it came closer to the surface again. We were close to Crete. I was looking at the fish through the windows with Captain Nemo when suddenly I saw a man swimming under the water. He swam to the window, and Captain Nemo made a sign to him. He swam away, and I did not see him again. “That was Nicholas,” said the captain. “He lives on an island but spends more time in the water than on land.” “Do you know him?” I asked. “Why not, Dr. Aronnax?” Nemo opened a cupboard and I saw that it was full of gold bars. He filled a large box with them, closed it, and wrote an address on it. Four men carried the box out of the room. I went back to my room. Soon, I realized that the Nautilus was back on the surface, and I heard the dinghy (a small boat) leave. Two hours later, it returned. “________” I wondered. 1．What did Ned want to do in the beginning? 2．How did “I” see the world under the sea? 3．Why did Nicholas swim away when “I” saw him? 4．Where did Nicholas live? 5．What do you think “I” probably wondered in the end? 【答案】1．(He wanted to) leave/get away/escape. 2．Through the windows. 3．(Captain) Nemo made a sign to him. 4．On an island. 5．Where does/did it go?/Where do/did they take the gold? (言之有理即可) 【导语】本文围绕Ned和“我”对逃离鹦鹉螺号的分歧展开，同时穿插尼摩船长的秘密行为。 1．根据“‘We should take the chance now,’ said Ned. In the end, I had to agree. I warned him that if we tried to get away and failed, the captain would never forgive us.”可知，他想抓住机会逃离鹦鹉螺号，故填(He wanted to) leave/get away/escape. 2．根据“I was looking at the fish through the windows with Captain Nemo when suddenly I saw a man swimming under the water.”可知，通过窗户观察海底世界。故填Through the windows. 3．根据“He swam to the window, and Captain Nemo made a sign to him.

He is widely known for his lifelong exploration of China’s landscapes and his detailed travel notes, which have become a valuable cultural heritage. Born in Jiangyin, Jiangsu Province, Xu Xiake was not interested in traditional Confucian studies or official careers. Instead, he loved nature and dreamed of travelling. With his mother’s support, he began his adventures at the age of 22. Xu Xiake chose to travel across China to explore its natural beauty and record his discoveries. Over 34 years, he visited 21 provinces, climbing mountains, exploring caves, and recording his discoveries. His journeys were often dangerous—he faced extreme weather, wild animals, and even bandits—but he never gave up. Xu’s greatest contribution was his scientific approach to geography. He carefully observed landforms, rivers, and vegetation, correcting many ancient myths and errors. For example, he proved that the Yangtze River’s source was the Jinsha River, not the Min River as previously believed. He also studied karst landforms in southwest China, making him one of the earliest researchers in this field. His travel notes, compiled into The Travels of Xu Xiake, are not only scientific records but also beautiful literature. They vividly describe local customs, scenery and Xu’s personal experiences. The book offers a unique view of China’s geography and culture during the Ming Dynasty. Xu Xiake’s legacy inspires people today.

We must not be afraid of losing. When we lose, just take it with a smile and look on the bright side of it. Failure can’t be avoided in our life. Edison failed 10,000 times before he invented the light bulb (灯泡).When he was asked how he felt, he said that he hadn’t failed 10,000 times but had learned 10,000 things which didn’t work. We must know that history is full of examples of men and women who achieved success although they failed many times. Losing is not very disgraceful. We must accept our failure and learn to take advantage of it. Remember that it can be helpful. Take action to walk out of it. When we lose, think about what we did and how we can improve. If someone else can help, we’ll be lucky enough. Maybe he or she has been through the same experience before. Many people enjoy helping others solve problems. This can save us a lot of time in learning how to avoid the same mistakes in the future. We should face our failure when we lose. There is only one winner in every competition. Some win, while some lose. That is a usual way of life. If we offer the winners our congratulations (祝贺) and share in their happiness, we won’t feel sorry for our failure. In a word, being a good loser will help us to succeed in life. It might be painful at the beginning, but there are many advantages.

His most famous work, Wang River Collection, contains poems about traveling with his friend Pei Di. These poems have influenced writers for centuries, including modern writers who created new works based on his ideas. One poem called Weicheng Qu became a famous song called Three Repetitions on the Yangguan Tune, usually played on the guqin, an instrument Wang Wei probably played. Scholars (学者) still study his poems today.

It recently won the first prize at a school event, surprising everyone with thousands of beautiful paper flowers made by students and teachers. Making tongcao flowers takes patience. The team spent 60 days cutting tongcao paper (made from soft plant wood) into tiny pieces. “The hardest part is shaping wet petals (花瓣),” said 14-year-old Ren Daiyang. “The paper dries in 10 seconds, so I must work quickly!” First, cut paper into 3mm-5mm strips. Then, shape the wet paper into petals, and put them together like a flower. Finally, they paint details like stamens (花蕊) with food coloring. 13-year-old Zhang Shiyu spends over 2 hours on each flower. “My first flower looked like a duckling!” she laughed. “But now I’ve made 50. This art teaches me not to give up.” Her classmate He Liyan, 14, added, “It’s cool to keep a 300-year-old skill alive.” Tongcao flowers are Yangzhou’s intangible cultural heritage (since 2007).

It talks about something happening between merchants in Venice. The main characters are Bassanio, Portia, Shylock and Antonio. The drama begins with Antonio, who helps Bassanio borrow money from Shylock, and then brings out other stories. Bassanio is a poor merchant. He needs money to follow his dream to marry Portia—a very beautiful and rich lady. He first wants to borrow money from his friend Antonio, also a merchant in Venice. Antonio borrows the money from a Jewish rich merchant Shylock. Antonio does much harm to Shylock before because Antonio really hates Jewish. Shylock is a little mean and loves money very much. He always gets interest from the people who borrow money from him. Antonio promises he will pay the money back in three months, or Shylock will be allowed to cut out 1 pound of flesh out of Antonio’s body. Bassanio successfully wins the love of Portia but soon knows his friend can’t pay the money back to Shylock on time. Bassanio returns to Venice as fast as he can and attends a trial (审讯). The reason why Antonio isn’t able to pay is because his ships are caught in storm. Portia, dressing up as a young lawyer, claims (声称) that the words “1 pound of flesh” not “1 pound of flesh and blood”. She says that Shylock is only allowed to remove flesh, but not any blood, which is impossible. Thus, she helps make Antonio safe and make Shylock fail.

In the Netherlands (荷兰), some parents do a strange thing to their children. It’s called “dropping”. It means parents drive their children into a forest at night and drop them off so they have to find their way back home all by themselves. Does this sound like a terrible idea? Dutch parents have reasons for doing this. They think children should learn to work out problems on their own. In the forest, their children need to use GPS to find their way out. They need to deal with tiredness and hunger. They also need to know how to get help if they are lost. Suja is an 11-year-old Dutch boy. When he finished his first “dropping”, he told The New York Times that he loved it. He said someday, when he has children, he wants them to do it as well. “It reminds you, even in very hard times, to keep walking, to keep going. I have never done that before.” he said. Parents always want the best for their kids. But everyone has their own way of parenting. Here are some popular types of parents. Which type do you like best? Dolphin parents They just want their kids to be happy and healthy. They make sure their kids get enough sleep and exercise. Tiger parents They are quite strict with their children. They push their children so hard because they want their children to get the best grades in their class.

After graduating, Huang started his lifelong career in China’s shipbuilding industry. In 1958, Huang was chosen to join the research team tasked with designing China’s first nuclear submarine. In the beginning, there were poor basic conditions for Chinese scientists to develop such a hard task at that time. Besides, other countries didn’t share their technology with us. Huang and other scientists searched newspapers and magazines for information. They finally came up with five plans after piecing together all the information they found and carefully studying two US submarine models. In the following years, Huang and several other top engineers led the research and development for the nation’s first-generation nuclear submarines. After years of efforts, China finally built its first nuclear submarine—the first Type 091—in 1970, becoming the fifth nation to have such hardware. Huang’s name remained classified (机密的) until 1987 because of the sensitive nature of his work.

He could see how satisfied his parents were and he knew that he was responsible for their happiness. He, too, had waited for this day for a long time. The North London was poor and dangerous. It had always been poor and dangerous. Every day of his childhood he had come home afraid. Every day he turned the corner of the street and looked for his house. Was it still there? Had there been a fire? Were his parents still alive? He’d always felt that it was his job to make sure that his parents were safe. He had first thought that when he was six years old and he still felt it today. And now, finally, they were going to be safe.

However, it has to finish.” “It will end one day,” I said. “I’m sure that Captain Nemo will let us go when he is ready.” “He will probably kill us when he is ready,” replied Ned. “We have no reason to be afraid. I am sure that we will be able to leave or get away some time in the future.” “We should take the chance now,” said Ned. In the end, I had to agree. I warned him that if we tried to get away and failed, the captain would never forgive us. We would never have another chance. “Tell me when you are ready,” I told him. However, the Nautilus dived into deep waters, and there was no chance to escape. A day or two later, it came closer to the surface again. We were close to Crete. I was looking at the fish through the windows with Captain Nemo when suddenly I saw a man swimming under the water. He swam to the window, and Captain Nemo made a sign to him. He swam away, and I did not see him again. “That was Nicholas,” said the captain. “He lives on an island but spends more time in the water than on land.” “Do you know him?” I asked. “Why not, Dr. Aronnax?” Nemo opened a cupboard and I saw that it was full of gold bars. He filled a large box with them, closed it, and wrote an address on it. Four men carried the box out of the room. I went back to my room. Soon, I realized that the Nautilus was back on the surface, and I heard the dinghy (a small boat) leave.

He is widely known for his lifelong exploration of China’s landscapes and his detailed travel notes, which have become a valuable cultural heritage. Born in Jiangyin, Jiangsu Province, Xu Xiake was not interested in traditional Confucian studies or official careers. Instead, he loved nature and dreamed of travelling. With his mother’s support, he began his adventures at the age of 22. Xu Xiake chose to travel across China to explore its natural beauty and record his discoveries. Over 34 years, he visited 21 provinces, climbing mountains, exploring caves, and recording his discoveries. His journeys were often dangerous—he faced extreme weather, wild animals, and even bandits—but he never gave up. Xu’s greatest contribution was his scientific approach to geography. He carefully observed landforms, rivers, and vegetation, correcting many ancient myths and errors. For example, he proved that the Yangtze River’s source was the Jinsha River, not the Min River as previously believed. He also studied karst landforms in southwest China, making him one of the earliest researchers in this field. His travel notes, compiled into The Travels of Xu Xiake, are not only scientific records but also beautiful literature. They vividly describe local customs, scenery and Xu’s personal experiences. The book offers a unique view of China’s geography and culture during the Ming Dynasty. Xu Xiake’s legacy inspires people today. His spirit of adventure, love for nature, and dedication to learning remind us to explore the world with an open mind. Even 400 years later, his work remains a symbol of human curiosity and the quest for knowledge. 1．Where was Xu Xiake born? 2．Who supported Xu Xiake’s adventures at first? 3．How long did Xu Xiake spend on his journeys? 4．What is The Tavels of Xu Xiake mainly about? 5．Why is Xu Xiake still remembered today in your opinion? 2025年江苏省淮安市清江浦区中考一模英语试题 根据短文内容，回答问题 (每题答案不超过8个词)。 Because of China’s visa free policy (免签政策) with many countries, lots of people from all over the world come to China. Among them are some photography lovers. They even come to Dounan Market, Kunming, the largest fresh-cut flower market in Asia. They discovered many flowers they have never seen before and recognized (辨别出) the relationship between flowers and Chinese culture. There, they saw phalaenopsis (蝴蝶兰) for the first time. The flower seller told them that the flower means wealth and longevity (长寿) in China. This reminded them of the knowledge of Chinese culture they had learned before. One of them called Konthee said “When I was learning Chinese, I learned that in ancient China, plum or mume blossoms, orchids, bamboo and chrysanthemums (梅兰竹菊) symbolized (象征) a gentleman’s character.” They were also amazed by begonias (秋海棠). The flower is also famous as the “grass of lovesickness (相思草)” and the “heartbroken flower (断肠花)”. Konthee remembered reading about the begonia in A Dream of Red Mansions (《红楼梦》), where it symbolized the sad love between Lin Daiyu and Jia Baoyu. Besides the unique (独特的) cultural background that gives flowers their imagery (意象), the rich history of China also influenced the naming of many flowers. Peonies (牡丹), for example, were also famous as the Luoyang flower, because of the rich number of peonies in Luoyang during the Tang (618—907) and Song (960—1279) dynasties. These people’s photography catches these natural wonders. Their journey has taught them more about the beauty of nature and Chinese culture. 1．Who even comes to Dounan Market in Kunming among the people from all over the world? 2．Does phalaenopsis mean a gentleman’s character? 3．How did Konthee know begonias symbolized the sad love? 4．What are peonies also famous as? 5．What do you feel about these flowers according to the passage? 2025年江苏省南通市海门区中考一模英语试题 请认真阅读下面短文，并根据短文内容回答问题。 Being the new kid at school can be a terrible experience!

However, we can learn something valuable from every failure (失败). This may help us succeed in the future. So we must know how to be a good loser. We must not be afraid of losing. When we lose, just take it with a smile and look on the bright side of it. Failure can’t be avoided in our life. Edison failed 10,000 times before he invented the light bulb (灯泡).When he was asked how he felt, he said that he hadn’t failed 10,000 times but had learned 10,000 things which didn’t work. We must know that history is full of examples of men and women who achieved success although they failed many times. Losing is not very disgraceful. We must accept our failure and learn to take advantage of it. Remember that it can be helpful. Take action to walk out of it. When we lose, think about what we did and how we can improve. If someone else can help, we’ll be lucky enough. Maybe he or she has been through the same experience before. Many people enjoy helping others solve problems. This can save us a lot of time in learning how to avoid the same mistakes in the future. We should face our failure when we lose. There is only one winner in every competition. Some win, while some lose. That is a usual way of life. If we offer the winners our congratulations (祝贺) and share in their happiness, we won’t feel sorry for our failure. In a word, being a good loser will help us to succeed in life. It might be painful at the beginning, but there are many advantages. Good losers set examples to us, and most importantly, they finally win. 1．What can we learn from every failure according to the text? 2．In the writer’s eyes, why did Edison achieve success? 3．What does the underlined word “disgraceful” probably mean? 4．What does the writer advise the losers to do in a competition? 5．What is the best title for the text? 2025年江苏省无锡市梁溪区中考一模英语试题 Wang Wei (701-761), often called the “Poet Buddha”, was a famous Chinese poet, painter, and government official during the Tang Dynasty (618-907). Born into a high family, he passed a difficult government exam at age 20 and worked for the emperor for many years. Wang Wei is best known for his simple, peaceful poems about nature. His works often describe quiet scenes of mountains, rivers, and mist with few people. Experts (专家) say his poems show the beauty of the world while making readers think about what’s truly real. But he wasn’t just an amazing poet; he was also a talented painter. He used ink and water in soft colours to create gentle, poetic pictures of nature. It was a new style of painting Chinese landscapes. Su Shi of the Northern Song Dynasty (960-1127) once said that Wang Wei “had painting in his poetry” and “poetry in his painting”. His most famous work, Wang River Collection, contains poems about traveling with his friend Pei Di. These poems have influenced writers for centuries, including modern writers who created new works based on his ideas. One poem called Weicheng Qu became a famous song called Three Repetitions on the Yangguan Tune, usually played on the guqin, an instrument Wang Wei probably played. Scholars (学者) still study his poems today. A famous book called 19 Ways of Looking at Wang Wei examines different translations of his short poem Deer Park, showing how his simple words can have many meanings. Wang Wei’s works remain important because they help people see nature’s quiet beauty and think deeply about life. 1．When was Wang Wei born? 2．What was Wang Wei best known for? 3．Who spoke highly of Wang Wei for having painting in his poetry? 4．What two famous poems are mentioned in the passage? 5．Why are Wang Wei’s poems still studied today? 2025年江苏省无锡市宜兴市中考一模英语试题 阅读下面的短文，然后根据短文内容回答问题，每小题答案不超过6个单词。 The history of foods is never simple. Think of ice cream. Many people see it as a Western dessert. However, this sweet treat actually came from China! In the Zhou Dynasty, Chinese people began to store winter ice to enjoy in summer. In the Song Dynasty, people started to make binglao —it just means “ice cream” in English. It was a lot like modern ice cream. Folk tales have it that Emperor Huizong suffered from stomach pains after eating too much ice. In the Yuan Dynasty, Marco Polo tasted binglao and carried the idea all the way back to Europe. People there added heavy cream and new tastes. The rest is history! Sometimes, totally different cultures have similar dishes. Iranians love a kind of flat bread, sangak. People in Shaanxi, China, love stone pancakes. These two look almost the same! People often compare roujiamo to hamburgers, a symbol of American food. Many people call it the “Chinese hamburger”. But in fact, arepas of Venezuela look more like the twin brother of roujiamo! Food is a bridge between cultures. When foods cross borders, sweet things can happen. 1．What does “this sweet treat” mean in paragraph one? 2．When did people start to make binglao? 3．Who brought the idea of binglao back to Europe? 4．Why does the writer think that food is a bridge between cultures? 5．What is the meaning of “The rest is history!”? 2025年江苏省扬州市邗江区中考一模英语试题 根据短文内容回答问题(每小题答案不超过10个单词)。 When I woke up, I found it difficult to breathe.

However, I want you to promise two things.” “What are they?” “First, if I tell you to go to your rooms, you will go immediately without fighting.” “We promise.

It recently won the first prize at a school event, surprising everyone with thousands of beautiful paper flowers made by students and teachers. Making tongcao flowers takes patience. The team spent 60 days cutting tongcao paper (made from soft plant wood) into tiny pieces. “The hardest part is shaping wet petals (花瓣),” said 14-year-old Ren Daiyang. “The paper dries in 10 seconds, so I must work quickly!” First, cut paper into 3mm-5mm strips. Then, shape the wet paper into petals, and put them together like a flower. Finally, they paint details like stamens (花蕊) with food coloring. 13-year-old Zhang Shiyu spends over 2 hours on each flower. “My first flower looked like a duckling!” she laughed. “But now I’ve made 50. This art teaches me not to give up.” Her classmate He Liyan, 14, added, “It’s cool to keep a 300-year-old skill alive.” Tongcao flowers are Yangzhou’s intangible cultural heritage (since 2007). The white paper’s softness lets creators shape it into peonies, plum blossoms, even butterflies. The club’s 2m×3m display board at the event looked like a spring garden—prove that young hands can protect old traditions. 1．Who got the top prize at a school event?

It talks about something happening between merchants in Venice. The main characters are Bassanio, Portia, Shylock and Antonio. The drama begins with Antonio, who helps Bassanio borrow money from Shylock, and then brings out other stories. Bassanio is a poor merchant. He needs money to follow his dream to marry Portia—a very beautiful and rich lady. He first wants to borrow money from his friend Antonio, also a merchant in Venice. Antonio borrows the money from a Jewish rich merchant Shylock. Antonio does much harm to Shylock before because Antonio really hates Jewish. Shylock is a little mean and loves money very much. He always gets interest from the people who borrow money from him. Antonio promises he will pay the money back in three months, or Shylock will be allowed to cut out 1 pound of flesh out of Antonio’s body. Bassanio successfully wins the love of Portia but soon knows his friend can’t pay the money back to Shylock on time. Bassanio returns to Venice as fast as he can and attends a trial (审讯). The reason why Antonio isn’t able to pay is because his ships are caught in storm. Portia, dressing up as a young lawyer, claims (声称) that the words “1 pound of flesh” not “1 pound of flesh and blood”. She says that Shylock is only allowed to remove flesh, but not any blood, which is impossible. Thus, she helps make Antonio safe and make Shylock fail. At the same time, Shylock loses most of his money. At the end, Bassanio and Portia have a happy ending. —Adapted from The Merchant of Venice 根据短文内容回答下面5个问题。(每题答案不超过10个词) 1．What does the book The Merchant of Venice talk about? 2．Who does Bassanio want to borrow money from first? 3．Why isn’t Antonio able to pay the money back? 4．How does Portia help make Antonio safe? 5．According to the passage, what do you think of Portia? 2025年江苏省无锡市江阴市中考一模英语试题 阅读下面的短文，然后根据短文内容回答问题，每小题答案不超过10个单词。 There are different kinds of parents in the world. In the Netherlands (荷兰), some parents do a strange thing to their children. It’s called “dropping”. It means parents drive their children into a forest at night and drop them off so they have to find their way back home all by themselves. Does this sound like a terrible idea? Dutch parents have reasons for doing this. They think children should learn to work out problems on their own. In the forest, their children need to use GPS to find their way out. They need to deal with tiredness and hunger. They also need to know how to get help if they are lost. Suja is an 11-year-old Dutch boy. When he finished his first “dropping”, he told The New York Times that he loved it. He said someday, when he has children, he wants them to do it as well. “It reminds you, even in very hard times, to keep walking, to keep going. I have never done that before.” he said. Parents always want the best for their kids. But everyone has their own way of parenting. Here are some popular types of parents. Which type do you like best? Dolphin parents They just want their kids to be happy and healthy. They make sure their kids get enough sleep and exercise. Tiger parents They are quite strict with their children. They push their children so hard because they want their children to get the best grades in their class. Lawnmower parents (割草机式父母) Like a lawnmower that cuts grass, they deal with all the worries or troubles for their children. Their kids never learn to work out problems on their own. 1．When do the Dutch parents drop off their children? 2．What problem may the children meet in the forest? 3．How many kinds of parents are mentioned in the passage? 4．Which type of parents does this picture show? 5．Do you think the “dropping” is a good idea? Why or why not? 2025年江苏省连云港市灌南县中考一模英语试题 You may know that bees make delicious honey. But did you know that they keep us all alive? Every year on the twentieth of May, it’s World Bee Day. It’s a day to thank bees for all they do. Without bees, we wouldn’t have any food! When bees fly from plant to plant, they carry pollen (携带花粉). The pollen makes new plants grow. It is said that three-fourths of the world’s flowering plants and about 35 percent of the world’s food crops depend on bees and other animals to grow. Bees not only help flowers grow. They also help fruit and vegetables grow. It’s also a day to learn more about the problems bees are facing. Loss of natural habitat (栖息地), getting sick from chemicals (化学物质) used on crops, and higher temperatures with climate change are making the number of bees drop, said the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations. People are now looking to technology to help save the bees. One example is the robotic bee project called RoboRoyale, said Horizon magazine. The European Commission funds (投资) it. The project makes robot bees to help feed and look after the queen bee. This will get the queen bee to lay more eggs and make more bees. So next time, let’s celebrate the day of the cute bees. 回答下面5个问题，每题答案不超过6个词。 1．When is World Bee Day? 2．What can the pollen do? 3．How many problems do bees face according to the passage? 4．How do people help save the bees in this passage? 5．What will you do to celebrate World Bee Day? 2025年江苏省徐州市中考一模英语试题 阅读短文，回答短文后的五个问题。 Huang Xuhua, the chief designer of China’s first-generation nuclear submarines (核潜艇), passed away on 6th February 2025. Born in March 1926 in Guangdong province, Huang was the third child of his parents. He entered Shanghai Jiao Tong University to study shipbuilding. After graduating, Huang started his lifelong career in China’s shipbuilding industry. In 1958, Huang was chosen to join the research team tasked with designing China’s first nuclear submarine. In the beginning, there were poor basic conditions for Chinese scientists to develop such a hard task at that time. Besides, other countries didn’t share their technology with us. Huang and other scientists searched newspapers and magazines for information. They finally came up with five plans after piecing together all the information they found and carefully studying two US submarine models. In the following years, Huang and several other top engineers led the research and development for the nation’s first-generation nuclear submarines. After years of efforts, China finally built its first nuclear submarine—the first Type 091—in 1970, becoming the fifth nation to have such hardware. Huang’s name remained classified (机密的) until 1987 because of the sensitive nature of his work. Because of his outstanding contributions, Huang was given the Medal of the Republic, China’s highest honor, in 2019.注：每题答案不超过5个词 1．How old was Huang Xuhua when he passed away? 2．Did Huang Xuhua work in the shipbuilding industry all his life? 3．How many other countries in the world had nuclear submarines in 1970? 4．Why was Huang Xuhua presented with China’s highest honor? 5．Please put the following events into correct time order. ① Awarded the Medal of the Republic.        ②Studied shipbuilding.        ③ Born in Guangdong. ④Led the development for the nation’s first-generation nuclear submarines. ⑤ Joined nuclear submarine research. 2025年江苏省扬州市宝应县中考一模英语试题 阅读短文，回答下面5个问题。（每题答案不超过10个词） The Ghost moved slowly and silently towards him. And as it moved through the air, it scattered gloom. The Ghost wore a black robe. The robe covered its head, its face and its body. The only thing visible was a hand. The Ghost neither spoke nor moved. Scrooge was terrified. “Are you the Ghost of Christmas Yet To Come?” asked Scrooge. The Ghost didn’t answer, but it pointed its hand in front of it. “You are going to show me the future,” Scrooge continued. “Am I right, Ghost?” The Ghost nodded its head. That was the only answer Scrooge received. “Ghost of the Future,” he said, “I am more afraid of you than of all the other ghosts. But because I want to be a better man, I will go with you. Please, speak to me.” It didn’t reply. The hand pointed straight in front of them. “Lead on!?” said Scrooge. The Ghost moved forwards. Scrooge followed in the shadow of its robe. And the robe carried him along. The city sprang up（突然出现）around them. There they were, in the heart of it. The Ghost stopped beside some businessmen at the Stock Exchange.

The main talk place was in Beijing. The Shenzhou- 14 astronauts are Liu Yang, Chen Dong and Cai Xuzhe. The talk interested nearly 1, 000 teenagers from China and ASEAN member states.

There is no gravity (重力) in space, so things are not as heavy as they are on Earth. When they drop something, it doesn’t fall to the floor. They eat and drink differently in space. They have special plates so that their food doesn’t fly away. In fact, they can drink hot water and eat fresh and hot food in the space station. Though they can see sunrises and sunsets every 90 minutes in space, they still get 7 hours of sleep every night. The three astronauts also say exercise is important for them as well. Since there is no gravity their muscles (肌肉) become weak very quickly. To prevent this from happening, they have to exercise on special machines to train their muscles every day.

So he was recommended to visit a sage (圣人). The sage silently scooped up the water and asked, “What is the shape of the water?” The sage poured the water into a glass before the man could answer. The man answered, “I know water is like a glass.” The sage said nothing and poured the water into the vase nearby. The man realized it, “I know water is like a vase.” The sage shook his head, gently carried the vase in both hands and poured the water into a pot filled with sand. The clear water disappeared into the sand. The sage said, “Look, the water died away like this. This is a lifetime!” The man said happily, “I know you want to tell me that the society is like various containers. So people should be like water. When you are in a certain container, you will become its shape and nothing can change!” “Yes and no,” the sage said. The sage went out of the house, followed by the man. Under the eaves (屋檐), the sage bent over, touched the flagstone steps for a while and stopped. The man reached out his hand to where the sage had just touched and felt a concave (凹面), but he didn’t know what secret the concave in the flagstone steps hid. The sage said, “On rainy days, the rainwater would fall from the eaves, so the concave is the result the water falls.” The man got inspired (启发) suddenly. He said, “I understand people may be put into the regular containers, but they should be like the little drop of water, holing the hard flagstones until changing the containers.” The sage said, “Right. This concave will turn into a hole!” Life is like water, so we must adapt (适应) to the environment and we should try to change the environment to realize our own value. 1．Why was the man recommended to visit a sage? 2．How did the sage inspire the man? 3．Why did the sage put water in a glass and a vase? 4．What do you think of the sage? 5．What can you learn from the passage? 2025年江苏省无锡市锡山区锡北片中考一模英语试题 Since the beginning of this term, primary and junior high schools in Shenzhen have carried out a new measure (措施) to make sure that students have daily physical education (PE) classes. Shenzhen is the first city in the country to require schools to organize daily PE for students at the compulsory education (义务教育) level. Buxin Primary School in Luohu District started using a “3+1+1” model, which includes three regular PE classes, one music-based exercise class, and one sports game class to make sure of five PE classes per week. Because there aren’t enough PE teachers to teach all the new classes, the school had to ask teachers from other subject areas to lead many of the PE classes. Liu Xunhua, a Chinese-language teacher at the school, has taken on the role of a part-time PE teacher. Liu leads students in activities such as jump rope and jumping jacks (开合跳). “Everything is for the health of the students, and we support the new measure.” said Liu. Like other nonprofessional (非专业的) PE teachers, Liu took PE training classes and found chances to learn from professional PE teachers. Chen Xinru, a grade 8 student from Xin’an Middle School, said that a daily PE class has many advantages and helps her a lot. “When I am tired, I can relax by running or playing basketball and I can become more focused in class,” said Chen.
