In the building field alone,40-50 billion tons (亿吨) of sand is used around the world every year. This is because concrete (混凝土) is usually made up of about 25% sand. Another problem is that most desert or beach sand can not be used. Desert sand is too smooth and beach sand has too much salt in it. This means that sand which is used for building is usually got from rivers. However, it has caused terrible environmental problems. As a result, many countries have stopped the use of sand in recent years. Many researchers are thinking about some new ways. These include Dr. John Orr at Cambridge University. “We find that the plastic can replace (代替) 10% of the sand in concrete and it has the same strength (强度),” says Dr. John Orr. “That saves lots of sand and helps to cut down the plastic waste.” At the same time, other research is being done into using more objects to replace sand. To save the sand, everyone should play a part in cutting down the needs for sand besides the researchers. For example, people can drive less and not buy more cars. A 10% drop in the number of cars on the road means 10% fewer houses with garage (车库) that need to be built. That is millions of tons of concrete every year. 1．How much sand is concrete usually made up of? 2．Why can’t most desert or beach sand be used? 3．What do researchers find can replace the sand? 4．What can people do to cut down the needs of sand according to the writer? 5．What do you think of stopping the use of sand from rivers? Why? （2025·河北石家庄·模拟预测）阅读下面短文，简略回答问题。 Whether your exam result was a grade lower than expected, you didn’t get a part in the school play, or you missed a friend’s birthday party because of a cold, setbacks (阻碍) are a part of life.

Reading together with others, known as buddy (同伴) reading, will make this journey even more fantastic. During the journey, the buddies spend time doing a lot of reading activities. This not only adds to the pleasure of reading, but also deepens their understanding of the books. Although it is all right to have students join in buddy reading with same-aged. schoolmates, schools usually pair up older students with younger ones. In 2021, Green School started such a program and has achieved a great success. Both younger and older readers in this school have learned a lot from this two-year program. For example, when they listened to each other, they learned to be kind and patient. This experience also provided them with a chance to practice lifelong skills such as exercising leadership or communicating with others. A student called Jason said that reading to a younger buddy was really helpful. He became more confident, as he knew he was a role model for someone. The school also became a closer community. The reading buddies felt more connected as they often met each other. The students were always excited when they saw their buddies pass by in the hallway. Now summer vacation is coming. It’s a great time to get into books. Why not pair up with a friend, choose a book you both like and read it together? 1．What is buddy reading? 2．How do schools usually pair up buddies? 3．How long did the reading program in Green School last? 4．What did the readers in Green School learn from the program?（写出一个答案即可） 5．What did Jason think of reading to a younger buddy? What can you get from reading?（答案须与文中信息不同） （2025·河北·模拟预测）阅读下面短文，简略回答问题。 Have you ever wondered how scientists know who is who when they study monkeys? In the past, scientists had to make special signs on each of the animals. But in the future, they may have an easier way to identify (辨认) them thanks to facial recognition (面部识别) technology. A research team from China’s Northwest University is using facial recognition technology to identify thousands of snub-nosed monkeys (金丝猴) on the Qin Mountains in Shaanxi Province. The technology creates a system that includes every monkey’s facial picture. “When the system is fully developed, we can connect it with cameras set up in the mountains. The system will recognize the monkeys, name them and study their behavior,” said Zhang He, a member of the research team. “We used mobile phones and cameras in tests and stayed about 3 to 10 meters away from the monkeys,” he added. “There’s no need to influence them.” Compared with human facial recognition technology, facial recognition technology for monkeys is more difficult because of their hairy faces. The color of their hair also makes it easy for them to hide in the environment around them. These are the reasons that make it harder for computers to identify them. “Monkeys don’t work with researchers in the same way as humans do. It’s difficult to take clearer pictures and videos of them, so we need to improve the system,” said Li Baoguo, the leader of the research team. There are about 4,000 snub-nosed monkeys living on the Qin Mountains now. The team plans to successfully identify every monkey there. 1．What did scientists have to do when they want to identify monkeys in the past? 2．What will make it become easier to identify monkeys? 3．Who is Zhang He according to the text? 4．What does the research team use in tests? 5．Is monkey face recognition more difficult than human face recognition? Why do you think so? （2025·河北邢台·一模）阅读下面短文，简略回答问题。 In recent years, AI has become a useful tool in our study, especially in learning English. AI provides different learning apps. For example, some apps can listen to our pronunciation and point out mistakes quickly. They tell us how to move our mouths and tongues (舌头) to make the right sound, just like a patient teacher. There are also apps that offer personalized reading materials. If we like stories, it will offer interesting English stories at our level. After reading, we can answer some simple questions to check our understanding. Another great use of AI is in writing. When we write an English writing and enter it into an AI writing helper, it can correct grammar mistakes and give suggestions on better words or sentences. It helps us learn how to express our ideas more clearly. For example, if we always use the same simple words, it will show us some other words with richer meanings to make our writing more vivid (生动). Moreover, AI can create an immersive (沉浸式的) language environment. Through virtual (虚拟的) conversations with AI characters, we can practice speaking English freely. We can talk about our daily life, hobbies, or even discuss a movie we watched. The AI will respond (回应) and keep the conversation going. All in all. AI is really helpful in our English learning. It makes learning more interesting and effective (有效). But we should also remember that it is just a tool. We still need to work hard and practice more to truly master the English language. With the right use of AI, we can open a new door to the wonderful world of English learning. 1．What can some AI apps do when listening to our pronunciation? 2．How can AI help with writing? (Write an example) 3．What kind of language environment can AI create? 4．What should we remember when using AI to learn English? 5．If you have some difficulties in learning English, what will you probably do? （24-25九年级上·河北石家庄·期末）阅读下面短文，简略回答问题。 People often set many alarms to wake themselves up for fear of oversleeping. However, this can be bad for one’s health because it makes sleep quality poorer, according to Brandon Peters, a doctor from Virginia Mason Franciscan Health in Seattle, US. A good sleep happens in cycles (周期), according to Medical News Today. Each cycle has four stages. During stage one, we go into a light sleep. Our body relaxes and our heartbeat slows. As we fall deeper into sleep, stage two begins. Our eyes stop moving and our body temperature drops. Then comes the third stage which is the deepest sleep and also the hardest for people to wake up from. Last is the fourth stage, known as rapid eye movement sleep, or REM sleep. Our eyes move rapidly from side to side during this stage. At the same time, our breathing picks up and our heartbeat rises. REM sleep is very important because most of our dreams take place during it. This allows our brain to process emotions (情绪). REM sleep also helps the brain turn the new knowledge learned during the day into memories. When we get enough REM sleep, it is easier to focus on studying the next day, said the National Sleep Foundation of the US. Since REM sleep mostly takes place in the last hours of a night’s sleep, it is a bad idea to break off it with alarms ringing one after another. “My general advice is that you set one alarm,” said Alicia Roth at the Cleveland Clinic in the US. 1．Why is it harmful to set many alarms? 2．In which stage do people sleep the deepest? 3．What will happen when we get enough REM sleep? 4．When does REM sleep take place? 5．What did Alicia Roth suggest? Give another way to improve sleep quality. (答案须与文中建议不同) （2025·河北邯郸·二模）阅读下面短文，简略回答问题。 It is the night before handing in the report, and Emily Regan still has to research and write the ten-page paper. Emily’s problem is procrastination (拖延症). She has waited to do her work until the very last second and now she is stressed and has to work through the night to complete her paper. Procrastination is a problem for many students, but it does not have to be. Instead of waiting to start your homework until just before the deadline, you can follow these simple steps to avoid procrastination. First, do a little bit every day rather than all at once. For example, in Emily’s case, she could have spent 30 minutes a day working on that research paper and divided her work into parts. One week could have been spent doing research, one week writing an outline, one week writing the first draft (初稿), and the final week could have been spent finalizing the paper. Then, schedule (安排) that study time into your daily life. Treat your work like any other fun activities you have. Remember, you are the boss and it is up to you to follow your schedule. Be responsible for yourself and do not make any other plans during the time you have set that will prevent you from doing your work. After you have organized your time in this way, it is important to find a place to work where there are few distractions (干扰). For example, if you are writing a paper, do not go on the Internet to check your e-mail or see who else is online, and do not stay in a room where there is a TV. Instead, focus on the work you planned for that time. Then you can reward (奖励) yourself for your hard work by doing whatever you want—emailing, chatting with friends, or watching television. You will probably enjoy yourself more because you will not have the work hanging over your head and stressing you out. Although procrastination is a common mistake that many students make, do not put yourself in Emily’s shoes and leave work until the last minute. It is easy to make some simple changes in the way you work to prevent it from happening. 1．What does Emily Regan have to do the night before handing in the report? 2．What is the first thing you can do to avoid procrastination? 3．What can you do after you have organized your time? 4．How can you reward yourself for your hard work? 5．Is procrastination good or bad for people? What do you suggest people do to avoid procrastination? （2025·河北邯郸·一模）阅读下面短文，简略回答问题。 What makes money valuable? We can’t eat, wear or live without it. So why do people want it? Think about the saying, “Money doesn’t grow on trees.” Money is considered valuable because it is hard to get. Suppose that you took a sheep to a market in China in the past, and you needed to buy a piece of cloth. How did you pay for it? The sheep was too valuable, but you could trade sheep milk for the object you wanted. This is called bartering (物物交换). People could hand two shells (贝壳) instead of goat milk to the seller, which was the first system of currency (货币) in China. This was a much easier way to buy and sell things. Shells were not heavy and people could take them without any effort. The idea of currency was popular in Thailand, India and Africa. Another form of currency is metal coins, which first appeared in China around 1,000 BC． They were different in shape, size and worth. Carrying a bag of coins can be heavy and coins are hard to store. They are two reasons that the use of paper money developed in China in the 10th century. The earliest European paper money appealed in Sweden at the beginning of the 17th century. In today’s global economy (全球经济), exchanging money electronically (电子地) is common. Many people use a bank card. It is easy to spend money today, but saving money is important. When you are considering spending money, think of its necessity twice. 1．Why is money considered valuable? 2．Where was the idea of currency popular? 3．When did metal coins first appear in China? 4．What are two reasons that the use of paper money developed in China in the 10th century? 5．What do you think of money? How do you spend money in your life? （2025·河北石家庄·一模）阅读下面短文，简略回答问题。 DeepSeek: A Great Helper for Middle School Students In today’s world, technology is changing our lives in many ways.

They move around by themselves, picking up dirt and dust, so we don’t have to do all the work. Let’s take a look at the amazing robot vacuum. Why Robot Vacuums Are Great The best thing about robot vacuums is how much time they save us. Regular vacuums can be tiring and time-consuming, but robot vacuums clean on their own.

Smart Technology Robot vacuums are very smart! They have special sensors (传感器) that help them move around the house, avoid furniture, and know when to stop. Some models can even connect to phones, allowing us to control them with a tap. Things to Think About However, robot vacuums have limitations (局限).

Though simple and little, they are a great invention in the history of humans. There are many legends (传说) about chopsticks, Da Yu and Chopsticks is one of them. It is said that during Yao and Shun times, Shun ordered Yu to control the flood. One day, Yu took a boat to an island, and he was so hungry that he used an earth pot to cook meat.

In the past, scientists had to make special signs on each of the animals. But in the future, they may have an easier way to identify (辨认) them thanks to facial recognition (面部识别) technology. A research team from China’s Northwest University is using facial recognition technology to identify thousands of snub-nosed monkeys (金丝猴) on the Qin Mountains in Shaanxi Province. The technology creates a system that includes every monkey’s facial picture. “When the system is fully developed, we can connect it with cameras set up in the mountains. The system will recognize the monkeys, name them and study their behavior,” said Zhang He, a member of the research team. “We used mobile phones and cameras in tests and stayed about 3 to 10 meters away from the monkeys,” he added. “There’s no need to influence them.” Compared with human facial recognition technology, facial recognition technology for monkeys is more difficult because of their hairy faces. The color of their hair also makes it easy for them to hide in the environment around them. These are the reasons that make it harder for computers to identify them. “Monkeys don’t work with researchers in the same way as humans do. It’s difficult to take clearer pictures and videos of them, so we need to improve the system,” said Li Baoguo, the leader of the research team. There are about 4,000 snub-nosed monkeys living on the Qin Mountains now. The team plans to successfully identify every monkey there. 1．What did scientists have to do when they want to identify monkeys in the past? 2．What will make it become easier to identify monkeys? 3．Who is Zhang He according to the text? 4．What does the research team use in tests? 5．Is monkey face recognition more difficult than human face recognition? Why do you think so? 【答案】1．They had to make special signs on each monkey. 2．Facial recognition technology. 3．A member of the research team. 4．Mobile phones and cameras. 5．Yes, it is. Because monkeys have hairy faces and their hair color makes them easy to hide in the environment, which makes it harder for computers to identify them. 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲述了科学家如何通过面部识别技术来辨认金丝猴，以及这项技术的优势与挑战。 1．根据文章第2段“In the past, scientists had to make special signs on each of the animals.”可知，过去，科学家不得不在每只动物身上做特殊标记，所以在过去，当科学家想要识别猴子时，他们不得不在每只猴子身上做标记。故填They had to make special signs on each monkey. 2．根据文章第2段“But in the future, they may have an easier way to identify them thanks to facial recognition technology.”可知，但在未来，由于面部识别技术，他们可能会有一种更简单的方法来辨认它们。故填Facial recognition technology. 3．根据文章第5段“Zhang He, a member of the research team.”可知，张赫（音译）是研究团队的成员。故填A member of the research team.   4．根据文章第6段“We used mobile phones and cameras in tests...”可知，我们在测试中使用了手机和相机。故填Mobile phones and cameras. 5．根据文章第7段“Compared with human facial recognition technology, facial recognition technology for monkeys is more difficult because of their hairy faces. The color of their hair also makes it easy for them to hide in the environment around them. These are the reasons that make it harder for computers to identify them.”可知，与人类面部识别技术相比，猴子的面部识别技术更困难，因为它们毛茸茸的脸。它们的毛发颜色也使它们很容易隐藏在周围环境中，这使得计算机更难识别它们。故填Yes, it is. Because monkeys have hairy faces and their hair color makes them easy to hide in the environment, which makes it harder for computers to identify them. （2025·河北邢台·一模）阅读下面短文，简略回答问题。 In recent years, AI has become a useful tool in our study, especially in learning English.

However, this can be bad for one’s health because it makes sleep quality poorer, according to Brandon Peters, a doctor from Virginia Mason Franciscan Health in Seattle, US. A good sleep happens in cycles (周期), according to Medical News Today. Each cycle has four stages. During stage one, we go into a light sleep. Our body relaxes and our heartbeat slows. As we fall deeper into sleep, stage two begins. Our eyes stop moving and our body temperature drops. Then comes the third stage which is the deepest sleep and also the hardest for people to wake up from. Last is the fourth stage, known as rapid eye movement sleep, or REM sleep. Our eyes move rapidly from side to side during this stage. At the same time, our breathing picks up and our heartbeat rises. REM sleep is very important because most of our dreams take place during it. This allows our brain to process emotions (情绪). REM sleep also helps the brain turn the new knowledge learned during the day into memories. When we get enough REM sleep, it is easier to focus on studying the next day, said the National Sleep Foundation of the US. Since REM sleep mostly takes place in the last hours of a night’s sleep, it is a bad idea to break off it with alarms ringing one after another. “My general advice is that you set one alarm,” said Alicia Roth at the Cleveland Clinic in the US. 1．Why is it harmful to set many alarms? 2．In which stage do people sleep the deepest? 3．What will happen when we get enough REM sleep? 4．When does REM sleep take place? 5．What did Alicia Roth suggest? Give another way to improve sleep quality. (答案须与文中建议不同) 【答案】1．Because it makes sleep quality poorer. 2．The third stage. 3．It is easier to focus on studying the next day. 4．In the last hours of a night’s sleep. 5．Set one alarm. We can maintain a consistent sleep schedule. (开放性试题，言之有理即可) 【导语】本文主要讲述了设置多个闹钟对睡眠质量的负面影响，以及睡眠周期中的不同阶段，特别是REM睡眠的重要性。 1．根据“However, this can be bad for one’s health because it makes sleep quality poorer”可知，原因是会让睡眠质量变差。故填Because it makes sleep quality poorer. 2．根据“Then comes the third stage which is the deepest sleep”可知，第三阶段睡眠最深。故填The third stage. 3．根据“When we get enough REM sleep, it is easier to focus on studying the next day”可知，获得足够的REM睡眠时更容易专注于第二天的学习。故填It is easier to focus on studying the next day. 4．根据“Since REM sleep mostly takes place in the last hours of a night’s sleep”可知，REM睡眠发生在睡眠的最后几个小时。故填In the last hours of a night’s sleep. 5．根据“My general advice is that you set one alarm”可知，Alicia Roth建议只定一个闹钟；另一个问题为开放性试题，言之有理即可。故填Set one alarm. We can maintain a consistent sleep schedule. （2025·河北邯郸·二模）阅读下面短文，简略回答问题。 It is the night before handing in the report, and Emily Regan still has to research and write the ten-page paper. Emily’s problem is procrastination (拖延症). She has waited to do her work until the very last second and now she is stressed and has to work through the night to complete her paper. Procrastination is a problem for many students, but it does not have to be. Instead of waiting to start your homework until just before the deadline, you can follow these simple steps to avoid procrastination. First, do a little bit every day rather than all at once. For example, in Emily’s case, she could have spent 30 minutes a day working on that research paper and divided her work into parts. One week could have been spent doing research, one week writing an outline, one week writing the first draft (初稿), and the final week could have been spent finalizing the paper. Then, schedule (安排) that study time into your daily life. Treat your work like any other fun activities you have. Remember, you are the boss and it is up to you to follow your schedule. Be responsible for yourself and do not make any other plans during the time you have set that will prevent you from doing your work. After you have organized your time in this way, it is important to find a place to work where there are few distractions (干扰). For example, if you are writing a paper, do not go on the Internet to check your e-mail or see who else is online, and do not stay in a room where there is a TV. Instead, focus on the work you planned for that time. Then you can reward (奖励) yourself for your hard work by doing whatever you want—emailing, chatting with friends, or watching television. You will probably enjoy yourself more because you will not have the work hanging over your head and stressing you out. Although procrastination is a common mistake that many students make, do not put yourself in Emily’s shoes and leave work until the last minute. It is easy to make some simple changes in the way you work to prevent it from happening. 1．What does Emily Regan have to do the night before handing in the report? 2．What is the first thing you can do to avoid procrastination? 3．What can you do after you have organized your time? 4．How can you reward yourself for your hard work? 5．Is procrastination good or bad for people? What do you suggest people do to avoid procrastination? 【答案】1．She has to research and write the ten-page paper. 2．Do a little bit every day rather than all at once. 3．Find a place to work where there are few distractions. 4．By doing whatever you want. 5．It is bad for people. We can make plans first. Then try hard to do what we should do immediately. 【导语】本文主要介绍了拖延症是许多学生面临的问题，并以艾米丽・里根为例，阐述了避免拖延症的方法。 1．根据“Emily Regan still has to research and write the ten-page paper”可知Emily必须在交报告前一晚研究和撰写十页论文。故填She has to research and write the ten-page paper. 2．根据“First, do a little bit every day rather than all at once”可知避免拖延的第一步是每天做一点而不是一次性完成。故填Do a little bit every day rather than all at once. 3．根据“After you have organized your time in this way, it is important to find a place to work where there are few distractions (干扰). ”可知安排好时间后，重要的是找一个干扰少的工作地点。故填Find a place to work where there are few distractions. 4．根据“Then you can reward (奖励) yourself for your hard work by doing whatever you want”可知可以通过做任何想做的事来奖励自己。故填By doing whatever you want. 5．开放性作答，言之有理即可。参考答案为It is bad for people. We can make plans first. Then try hard to do what we should do immediately. （2025·河北邯郸·一模）阅读下面短文，简略回答问题。 What makes money valuable? We can’t eat, wear or live without it. So why do people want it? Think about the saying, “Money doesn’t grow on trees.” Money is considered valuable because it is hard to get. Suppose that you took a sheep to a market in China in the past, and you needed to buy a piece of cloth. How did you pay for it? The sheep was too valuable, but you could trade sheep milk for the object you wanted. This is called bartering (物物交换). People could hand two shells (贝壳) instead of goat milk to the seller, which was the first system of currency (货币) in China. This was a much easier way to buy and sell things. Shells were not heavy and people could take them without any effort. The idea of currency was popular in Thailand, India and Africa. Another form of currency is metal coins, which first appeared in China around 1,000 BC． They were different in shape, size and worth. Carrying a bag of coins can be heavy and coins are hard to store. They are two reasons that the use of paper money developed in China in the 10th century. The earliest European paper money appealed in Sweden at the beginning of the 17th century. In today’s global economy (全球经济), exchanging money electronically (电子地) is common. Many people use a bank card. It is easy to spend money today, but saving money is important. When you are considering spending money, think of its necessity twice. 1．Why is money considered valuable? 2．Where was the idea of currency popular? 3．When did metal coins first appear in China? 4．What are two reasons that the use of paper money developed in China in the 10th century? 5．What do you think of money? How do you spend money in your life? 【答案】1．Because it is hard to get. 2．In Thailand, India and Africa. 3．Around 1,000 BC. 4．Carrying a bag of coins can be heavy and coins are hard to store. 5．Money is important for living but it should be spent wisely. I try to save money and spend it on necessary things. 【导语】本文主要介绍了货币的发展史，包括物物交换、早期货币、金属货币、纸币、电子货币。文章旨在引导学生了解货币的本质、演变和影响，正确看待货币价值，从而培养理性消费的观念。 1．根据“Money is considered valuable because it is hard to get.”可知，钱被认为是有价值的，因为它很难得到。故填Because it is hard to get. 2．根据“The idea of currency was popular in Thailand, India and Africa.”可知，货币的想法在泰国、印度和非洲流行。故填In Thailand, India and Africa. 3．根据“Another form of currency is metal coins, which first appeared in China around 1,000 BC.”可知，金属硬币最早出现在公元前1000年左右的中国。故填Around 1,000 BC. 4．根据“Carrying a bag of coins can be heavy and coins are hard to store. They are two reasons that the use of paper money developed in China in the 10th century.”可知，携带硬币很重且难以储存，这是10世纪中国开始使用纸币的两个原因。故填Carrying a bag of coins can be heavy and coins are hard to store. 5．开放性作答，结合实际，言之有理即可。参考答案为：Money is important for living but it should be spent wisely. I try to save money and spend it on necessary things. （2025·河北石家庄·一模）阅读下面短文，简略回答问题。 DeepSeek: A Great Helper for Middle School Students In today’s world, technology is changing our lives in many ways.

Unlike regular vacuums, which need someone to hold and operate them, robot vacuums can clean while we’re out. By the time we return, the floors are clean, and there’s no noise to disturb us. Smart Technology Robot vacuums are very smart! They have special sensors (传感器) that help them move around the house, avoid furniture, and know when to stop. Some models can even connect to phones, allowing us to control them with a tap. Things to Think About However, robot vacuums have limitations (局限). They might not work well on thick carpets or pick up large pieces of dirt. Too much clutter (杂物) can also cause them to get stuck. Additionally, some models can be expensive, so it’s important to think carefully before buying one. 1．What is the best thing about robot vacuums? 2．To avoid noise, when can robot vacuums get to work? 3．What helps robot vacuums avoid furniture? 4．What are the limitations of robot vacuums mentioned in the text?
