What many people don’t know is that junk (垃圾) has become a problem in outer space too. It is reported that there are more than 22,000 pieces of space junk floating around the Earth. And these are just the things that we can see from the surface of the Earth by telescopes (望远镜). There are also millions of smaller pieces of junk that we can’t see. Objects, like bits of old space rockets or satellites, move around the Earth at very high speed, so fast that even a very small piece can break important satellites or become dangerous to astronauts. If the tiniest piece of junk crashed into a spaceship, it could damage the vehicle. To make things worse, when two objects in space crash, they break into many small pieces. To reduce additional space junk, countries have agreed that all new space tools can only stay in space for 25 years at most. Each tool must be built to fall safely into the Earth’s atmosphere (大气) after that time. In the upper parts of the atmosphere, it will burn up. Many scientists are also suggesting different ways to clean up space junk. In England scientists are testing a metal net. The net can catch the junk and then pull it into the Earth’s atmosphere to burn up. The Germans are building robots that can collect pieces of space junk and bring them back to the Earth to be safely destroyed. “The problem is becoming more challenging because we’re sending more objects into space to help people use their mobile phones and computers,” says an Italian space researcher. “The time to act is now. The longer we leave the problem, the bigger it will become,” he says. 1．What does the underlined word “these” in paragraph 2 refer to? A．Pieces of space junk. B．Satellites. C．Telescopes. D．BBC news reports. 2．Why is space junk considered a problem? A．It burns up after it enters the atmosphere again. B．It often stops the view of telescopes on the Earth. C．It could make new space tools travel at slower speed. D．It may do harm to satellites, spaceships or astronauts. 3．Future space tools must be able to fall into the Earth’s atmosphere so that _______. A．the tools can be reused later B．the tools won’t become space junk C．the Earth’s atmosphere can stay clean D．the effects of space flight can be studied 4．How do the Germans plan to deal with space junk? A．Catch it with nets. B．Use robots to collect it. C．Burn it in the Earth’s atmosphere. D．Send it further away from the Earth. 5．In which part of the newspaper would you probably read this article? A．Space. B．Local News. C．Education. D．Fashion. 【答案】1．A 2．D 3．B 4．B 5．A 【解析】本文介绍了太空垃圾的现状及其危害，并探讨了各国为减少太空垃圾所采取的措施。 1．词句猜测题。根据第2段“It is reported that there are more than 22,000 pieces of space junk floating around the Earth. And these are just the things that we can see from the surface of the Earth by telescopes (望远镜)”（据报道，有超过22000块太空垃圾漂浮在地球周围。这些只是我们用望远镜从地球表面看到的东西）可知，“these”指代前文提到的“pieces of space junk太空垃圾碎片”。故选A。 2．细节理解题。根据第3段“so fast that even a very small piece can break important satellites or become dangerous to astronauts”和“If the tiniest piece of junk crashed into a spaceship, it could damage the vehicle.”可知，太空垃圾可能危害卫星、航天器或宇航员。故选D。 3．推理判断题。根据第4段“To reduce additional space junk… Each tool must be built to fall safely into the Earth’s atmosphere after that time”可推断，此举是为了避免这些工具成为新的太空垃圾。故选B。 4．细节理解题。根据第5段“The Germans are building robots that can collect pieces of space junk and bring them back to the Earth to be safely destroyed.”可知，德国计划用机器人收集太空垃圾。故选B。 5．推理判断题。本文主要讨论太空垃圾问题，属于“太空（Space）”领域。故选A。 2 I was in line waiting to pay. In line there were two people before me. A little boy was buying some rather strange clothes. He chatted with anyone who was interested in the clothes and soon we learnt that he was going to a kindergarten (幼儿园) party. He had done a great job of putting together interesting costumes. I noticed that the little boy was paying mostly with change. It seemed that he had robbed his pig bank (存钱罐) to do this shopping. However, the cashier told him he was short after counting all the money. The boy thought for a moment and said, “Please keep the shirt and I will come back with more money.” It was clear that he had already used all the money he had and he was $8 short. The lady in front of me said, “Well, I could pay half of that.” I told the boy that I could pay the other half. We dug into our handbags. However, both of us only had ten-dollar bills (纸币) and we needed the cashier to get the change for us. Other shoppers began digging into their pockets to find some change. It was amazing and touching as all these strangers seemed to react with the same mind. All wanted to be of help. Within minutes the cashier said, “I have too much money.” The cashier didn’t need our ten-dollar bills. Then the lady in front of me, who had been the first to offer help, said, “Wait! I didn’t even get a chance to give anything!” I smiled at her and said, “You did your share, because it was your idea and you started all this.” The little boy smiled and thanked us. We wished him the best and he left. I was left with a good feeling. I had seen the love and goodness of others all around me. The woman in front of me smiled and said, “It sure feels good to give, doesn’t it?” I smiled back and said, “Yes!” 1．Where did the story happen? A．In a shop. B．In a park. C．In a hospital. D．In a police station. 2．What does the underlined word “touching” most probably mean? A．Sad. B．Moving. C．Happy. D．Afraid. 3．Why did the writer and the woman both feel glad? A．Because the boy had saved some money. B．Because they both didn’t need to give anything. C．Because the cashier didn’t laugh at the boy.

Now thanks to a programme in Sydney called “Play Me, I’m Yours”, people are able to play the piano in public places for free. They share beautiful music and the programme also helps them communicate with each other. Thirty pianos have been placed in different parts of the city, including several parks, a bus stop and some streets. The pianos have the logo “Play Me, I’m Yours” on them. People are invited to play music or sing songs with the pianos no matter what level of ability they have. Lots of people have been attracted to the programme and stopped to watch or play the pianos. “Play Me, I’m Yours” is part of the Sydney Festival. It is a project of the British artist Luck Jerram. He wants to help people in the city connect with each other. He thinks that so many people are sitting in front of computers, busy with their work all hours, and they almost have no chance to enjoy music. So the purpose of the project is to help them relax and make new friends. The programme “Play Me, I’m Yours” has also reached England and Brazil (巴西) before. It was warmly welcomed there.

Even today trees continue to serve man in many ways. Trees provide man with fruits and building materials in the form of wood. People learnt to build tools, weapons, houses, boats and even bridges with wood from trees. Furniture, such as tables, chairs and beds, is also made of wood. In the tropics (热带地区), it is very hot all year round. Trees protect man from the terrible heat. They are also useful in preventing good and rich top soil from being washed away during heavy rains. If there were no trees or vegetation (植被) of some kinds to hold back the soil with their roots, heavy rains would wash away the rich surface (表面) soil that is so important and necessary to agriculture (农业). The result is that the land becomes a desert. There are so many desert areas in the world. A long time ago these desert areas must have been very rich fertile (肥沃的) areas, but since our ancestors (祖先) in the distant past had no enough knowledge about science of nature, they cut down all the trees in the areas and never planted new ones.

Is there a person in your neighborhood who could offer help? If you’re hoping for someone to make a difference, that someone could be you! Volunteering your time is a great way to make a difference in your community. You can do something to help people or improve the places around you. This past summer, my friends and I noticed how messy our neighborhood park was. We wanted it to be different. We worked without parents and teachers to clean up the park. We had a great time making the park even better than before, and now the whole neighborhood is able to share and enjoy it again. Volunteering can not only do good in the community, it can also make you happier. Studies show that people who volunteer hardly develop depression (抑郁). Find chances to do volunteer work that interests you. For example, if you love animals, you can volunteer at an animal shelter. If you love helping the environment, you can plant trees or pick up rubbish. You can also help at an old people’s home, simply by talking or playing games with them to make their days better. When you do these interesting work, it will bring you a lot of happiness and make you enjoy the volunteer experience. When the little things you do can change a person’s life, you will feel better about yourself. You see, whatever you do as a volunteer, you make a difference in your community. And our time will be enjoyed and that always feels good. Kids everywhere are making a difference by volunteering. You can, too! 1．What did the writer do to make a difference in the community?

But is it a proper way? Waste pollutes the environment, harms people’s health and causes animals to die. It also gets in the way of green and sustainable development. We can’t make money at the cost of the environment. We should leave clean water and green mountains to our next generations (辈). China is getting really serious about waste now. We are taking less waste from developed countries. From January 2018, China started to stop 24 kinds of waste coming into our country. And more laws and rules about dealing with waste have been made. Anyone who breaks the law will be punished. China also tries to put waste into good use. One example is the waste electricity (电) factories.They burn waste to make electricity in a green way. No harmful gases or water will get into the environment. Meanwhile our country is encouraging people to separate waste into different groups.

I want you to know how proud I am of you, and I just called you down to my office to give you a peppermint.” “Really?” I was surprised. “Yes. Now you can take that peppermint and go back to class.” I carried the peppermint with me as if it were a gold coin. When I got into my classroom, I bragged (吹嘘)to my classmates about my turnaround, excitedly. I wasn’t so bad after all. Mr. Ratcliff was really kind. He made me realize that I was just a kid who had problems with behavior. Mr. Ratcliff gave me some hope by giving me some love.

But do you know that we also do communication with ourselves from time to time? Picture this: Your mom asks you what you would like for breakfast. Many foods come to your mind: pancakes, bread, porridge … You think that it would be great to have pancakes. Until you tell your mom what you want to eat, you are communicating with yourself. We call this kind of communication intrapersonal communication. This can be, talking to ourselves, reading, writing, thinking, understanding and remembering something. Intrapersonal communication plays a big role in our lives. Good intrapersonal communication allows you to understand yourself better. When you’re comfortable with who you are, and you know what you want, you can better get on with yourself. Also, intrapersonal communication helps you to keep an eye on your thoughts and feelings. When you find that your mind is full of negative (消极的) thoughts and feelings, and that they make you sad, you will try to cheer up and get rid of these bad thoughts and feelings. What’s more, intrapersonal communication helps with your communication with others. Understanding your thoughts and feelings better allows you to put yourself in others’ shoes when you talk to or listen to them. Then, you can better understand and get on with them. 1．How does the writer explain the idea of intrapersonal communication in Paragraph 1? A．By providing some surveys. B．By listing numbers. C．By giving an example. D．By asking some questions. 2．From Paragraph 3, we can learn about the ________ of intrapersonal communication.

This is in response to (响应) China’s new standard (标准) on PE classes. The standard asks schools to make sure that 10 to 11 percent of all class time must be PE classes, third only to Chinese and math. Along with easy exercises like running and long jump, the standard also asks schools to give students other popular sports to do. Ma Jiajun, 17, from Jilin, set a new world record for “the most consecutive jump rope triples (连续三摇跳绳)” with 701 times. His teacher Chen Peng said that the school has always kept an eye on PE. With Ma as a role model now, students are more hard-working on not only jump rope but also other kinds of sports. “At first tai chi was only needed during break time to promote Chinese traditional culture, but students gradually fell in love with it,” said Gao Yuxiang from a middle school of Shandong. Senior 1 students all need to do it, and there’s a tai chi contest every year for Senior 2 students. “Different from ball games, tai chi calms me down and eases my mind, getting me ready for the next class”, said Gao. “I enjoy hip-hop dance,” Ren Jianing, a school student, said, “The class doesn’t need any experience, so anyone can sign up.” Every class they practice a part of the dance and in the next class put the parts together into a whole dance. “Our shirts are all wet after class even on the coldest days of winter,” said Ren. 1．How many other kinds of exercises are mostly talked about after the new standard in this passage?

B．With Ma as a role model, students are only hard-working on jump rope. C．Students with no experience can’t sign up for the hip-hop dance class. D．Tai chi may calm students down and get them ready for the next class. 3．What can we infer (推断) from the passage? A．Ren Jianing really enjoys hip-hop dance. B．There is a tai chi contest for Senior 1 students. C．Students may be hard-working in hip-hop classes. D．Schools should try to provide fewer ball games. 4．What’s the best title for the passage? A．PE Gets More and More Important B．How to Be Healthy in PE Class C．China’s New Standard on Classes D．What Was the PE Class Like 【答案】1．C 2．D 3．C 4．A 【解析】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了中国学校响应新的体育课标准，增加了体育课的数量和种类，并举例说明了学生对不同体育活动的喜爱和参与情况。 1．细节理解题。根据“Along with easy exercises like running and long jump, the standard also asks schools to give students other popular sports to do.”以及后文提到的跳绳（jump rope）、太极（tai chi）和街舞（hip-hop dance）可知，文中具体提到了3种运动——跳绳、太极、街舞。故选C。 2．细节理解题。根据“Different from ball games, tai chi calms me down and eases my mind, getting me ready for the next class”可知，太极能让学生平静并准备好下一节课。故选D。 3．推理判断题。根据 “Our shirts are all wet after class even on the coldest days of winter,”可推断，学生上街舞课很努力。故选C。 4．最佳标题题。根据“Along with easy exercises like running and long jump, the standard also asks schools to give students other popular sports to do.”及全文可知，本文围绕新标准下体育课增多及多样化，强调其重要性。A项最贴切。故选A。 23 Yang Xiuying, 76, sits at a wooden loom (织布机). As her fingers pass the shuttle back and forth through the cotton threads, the old machine comes to life. Ever since she was a young girl, Yang has been making indigo (靛蓝的) cloth. “You can never buy this type of handmade cloth at the market," she says. For the Dong people (侗族) in Guizhou, it is a long tradition to make indigo cloth. The skill has been passed down from mother to daughter over generations. Nearly every family makes its own cloth. This traditional skill, unfortunately, is now facing danger. Young people show little interest in it. Some of them have moved to big cities to find better jobs. Local officials are trying to change young people’s attitude. One program has set up several cloth-making factories in Guizhou. After learning how to make indigo cloth, young Dong people can now find jobs easily. They can also work closer to home. Traditionally, the Dong people consider indigo cloth as important as rice. Many Dong women spend long hours making the cloth. They rise and start working very early in the morning. To make the cloth shiny, it must be rubbed and beaten hard. The noise of cloth being beaten often wakes the whole village up. The cloth has to be put in the dye (染料) over many times to get the rich color. The process of coloring usually takes two weeks. Yang holds out her purple hands. “They say she who has the darkest indigo marks on her hands makes the best cloth,” the old lady says proudly. 1．What is Yang Xiuying doing at the beginning of the text? A．She is making some cotton cloth. B．She is repairing an old machine. C．She is selling newly-made indigo cloth. D．She is teaching how to make indigo cloth. 2．What is the purpose of the program mentioned in Para. 3? A．To help people understand the history of making indigo cloth. B．To force some young people to learn the tradition. C．To bring some young people back from big cities. D．To save the tradition of making indigo cloth. 3．What does Yang probably want to say in the last paragraph? A．She aims to make the process of coloring short. B．She wants to wash the marks on her hands. C．She is proud of her skills at making good indigo cloth. D．She has taught many people to make indigo cloth. 【答案】1．A 2．D 3．C 【解析】本文主要介绍了侗族的传承文化——靛蓝色布，以及人们为拯救这一濒危文化做出的努力。 1．细节理解题。根据第一段“Yang Xiuying, 76, sits at a wooden loom. As her fingers pass the shuttle back and forth through the cotton threads, the old machine comes to life.”及语境可知，文章开头部分描述的是杨秀英正在织布。故选A。 2．推理判断题。根据第三段“This traditional skill, unfortunately, is now facing danger. Young people show little interest in it.”及“After learning how to make indigo cloth, young Dong people can now find jobs easily. They can also work closer to home.”可知，这项传统工艺正面临失传的危险，可推测第3段提到的计划的目的是为了保存制作靛蓝布的传统。故选D。 3．推理判断题。根据最后一段“Yang holds out her purple hands. ‘They say she who has the darkest indigo marks on her hands makes the best cloth,’ the old lady says proudly.”可知，从杨手上紫色的印记来看，杨是属于做的布最好的一类人，她因此感到很骄傲，则杨在最后一段她可能想说“她为自己能织出好的靛蓝布而自豪”。故选C。 24 Diagnostic (诊断的) Report Patient (病人) Information Name: John Black Age: Sixteen years old Phone number: 178****0739 Problem: Having a stomachache Advice: 1.

The company behind it, also called DeepSeek, is a business based in Hangzhou, Zhejiang. Here is more information about it. The new AI first appeared on Jan 20. In just one week, it beat Open AI’s ChatGPT and became number one free application (应用) in the App Store. What is so special about it? According to DeepSeek, the new AI model is as good at difficult activities like math as other big time models. But it needs much less computing power (算力) to do that. It is also the cheapest of its kind and took only about 5.57 million US dollars (40.58 million yuan) to make. That is way less than the hundreds of millions or even billions that US businesses have to spend on making similar AI models, said Marc Andreessen, a technology expert in the US. The achievement was largely due to an idea the scientist had while they trained it. Instead of using the traditional ways, DeepSeek mainly uses Reinforcement Learning (RL, 强化学习). It helps AI learn by working out the right way to do things on its own to get points. This makes R1 better at reasoning and solving hard problems. What’s more, DeepSeek-R1 is open-source (开源的). Everyone is free to get a copy of its code (代码). They can also change the code to meet their own needs. Being open-source is very important for sharing knowledge and making technology better for everyone, said Liang Wenfeng, who set up DeepSeek. 1．What does Paragraph 2 mainly say about DeepSeek-R1? A．It’s new. B．It’s popular. C．It’s special. D．It’s free. 2．How does DeepSeek-R1 learn to solve problems? A．By copying human teachers. B．Through Reinforcement Learning (RL). C．By following strict rules set by programmers. D．Using only math skills. 3．What does the term “open-source” mean in the passage? A．The code is free to use and modify. B．The AI model is sold at a high price. C．Only experts can access the code. D．It requires special permission to download (下载). 4．Which of the following shows the structure (结构) of the passage? A．①/②③/④⑤ B．①/②③④/⑤ C．①②/③④⑤ D．①/②③④⑤ 5．What is the passage mainly about? A．The importance of open-source code. B．The challenges faced by DeepSeek-R1. C．The introduction to DeepSeek-R1.

Why? A possible answer is that they just feel bored. Why don’t we like feeling bored? What is boredom? Boredom is a feeling. There are two kinds of boredom: meaningless and attentional (注意力相关的). The first type happens when we don’t find meaning in our actions. The second type comes when people find it too difficult to focus on something. For example, students might say that “math is boring”. That is because it’s too difficult for them. Is boredom bad? Boredom is neither good nor (既不……也不……) bad. What matters is our attitude. For example, we may find a math problem boring. If we can’t deal with (处理) our feelings well, we might just give up and feel bad. But things change when we can control (控制) our feelings and try to solve (解决) the problem. Boredom can then become a good chance (机会) to learn new things. Are we more bored now? No, boredom is not a new thing. Over 2,000 years ago, people already felt bored. However, it’s now much easier to get away from boredom because of things like phones.

Boredom can then become a good chance (机会) to learn new things.”，不同的思考方式会导致不同的结果，因此“attitude”在这里指的是一种思考方式。故选C。 4．推理判断题。根据最后一段提到“However, it’s now much easier to get away from boredom because of things like phones.”可知，如果正确使用手机，可以让我们不那么无聊。故选C。 29 Besides stinky tofu (臭豆腐), there are many more smelly food choices in China. Here are a few popular ones that you might want to try out. Stinky mandarin fish (臭鳜鱼) If you love Chinese food, you might know it has eight main types. In Hui cuisine (风味), there’s a dish known for its special smell—stinky mandarin fish. To make it, you put the fish in a wooden bucket (桶) with salt and press down on it. After a few days, when it smells strong, you can take the fish out. Then, you cook it with other food, and it’s time to enjoy this special Hui-style dish. River snail rice noodles (螺蛳粉) River snail rice noodles from Guangxi have become popular lately. Many people enjoy eating this dish even though it smells bad. To make it, you need sour bamboo shoots (酸笋). You boil the noodles, add the river snail soup and sour bamboo shoots, and then throw in some peanuts (花生), mushrooms and other tasty things. Smelly wax gourd (臭冬瓜) The tasty dish, smelly wax gourd, comes from Ningbo, Zhejiang. In the past, fishermen needed lots of vegetables that could be kept a long time. Wax gourds were cheap and easy to store at that time, so they were the first choice. Even when they started to smell, the fishermen still ate them with salt and sesame oil. Surprisingly, they tasted really good. The special sauce (酱汁) made from many vegetables is the key to this dish.

Or will you fold clothes when watching a show? Everyone may experience these situations in daily life and this doing-it-all-at-once thing is known as multitasking. Multitasking means doing more than one activity at a time. In daily life, many of us multitask without even realizing it. But does multitasking really do good to our lives? You may think multitasking saves your time, but the truth is that only 2.5% of people can multitask well. Studies have found that most people who multitask will spend more time and make more mistakes. That’s because when we multitask, we are overusing (过度使用) the part of our brain that controls thinking and planning. It is hard on our brains. Our brains will get tired, and since we’re not successfully finishing any one task, we can feel upset and stressed. Instead, if we only deal with one task at a time, we will do a better and more correct job. However, others may disagree. They think people multitask not only because they want to save time but also because they enjoy it. Some scientists find that multitasking makes people feel more active and have a better sense of participation (参与感). These good feelings will improve their performance and offer a feeling of satisfaction. Also, multitasking is a modern way of life and an important skill you should learn as you grow up. After all, who doesn’t want to complete more in less time? Instead of stopping multitasking, it’s better to learn how to deal with so many tasks well. It seems that multitasking is playing an important role in our lives. But it may not be as useful as you expect. What do you think? Should we keep it or drop it? 1．Which of the following is multitasking? A．Lily focuses on her homework. B．Tom eats lunch while checking emails. C．Emma is lost in reading books. D．Peter does nothing but sleep the whole day. 2．What does the underlined word “it” in paragraph 3 refer to? A．Overusing our brains. B．Thinking and planning. C．Finishing a task successfully. D．Feeling upset and stressed. 3．What’s paragraph 4 mainly about? A．The people who prefer multitasking. B．The time when people multitask. C．The reasons why people multitask D．The results that multitasking brings. 4．What does the writer think of multitasking? A．He thinks it’s useful. B．He’s unsure about it. C．He thinks it’s unimportant. D．He’s hopeful about it. 5．What is the structure of the passage? A． B． C． D． 【答案】1．B 2．A 3．C 4．B 5．A 【解析】本文是一篇议论文，主要讨论了多任务处理在日常生活中的作用及其对人们的影响。 1．细节理解题。根据文章第2段“Multitasking means doing more than one activity at a time.”可知，多任务处理意味着同时进行多个活动。选项B“汤姆边吃午饭边查收电子邮件”描述的是同时进行两个活动，符合多任务处理的定义。故选B。 2．词句猜测题。根据文章第3段“That’s because when we multitask, we are overusing the part of our brain that controls thinking and planning. It is hard on our brains.”可知，当我们同时处理多项任务时，我们过度使用了大脑中控制思维和计划的部分，这对我们的大脑来说很难。所以“it”指代的是“过度使用大脑”。故选A。 3．主旨大意题。根据文章第4段特别是“They think people multitask not only because they want to save time but also because they enjoy it.”可知，本段主要讨论了人们进行多任务处理的原因。故选C。 4．观点态度题。根据文章最后一段“It seems that multitasking is playing an important role in our lives. But it may not be as useful as you expect.”可知，似乎多任务处理在我们的生活中起着重要作用，但它可能没有你想象的那么有用。由此可知作者对多任务处理的态度是未明确的。故选B。 5．篇章结构题。根据文章的结构，首先介绍了多任务处理的定义（第一、二段），接着分析了其优缺点（第三、四段），最后提出了是否应该继续多任务处理的思考（第五段）。故选A。 4 / 4 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 专题01 阅读理解 【期末必刷30篇】 (含主题特征与题型策略)) 八年级英语阅读理解常考主题级应对策略分析 ▲能力多维考查 语言基础：被动语态（如 was awarded）、比较级（如 more effective）、情态动词（如 should, could）等语法结构贯穿各主题。 信息处理：通过时间线、对比表格等非连续性文本，考查数据提取（如历史事件年份）、步骤排序（如学习策略应用）等技能。 跨学科整合：部分试题融合历史学（如文化遗产）、地理学（如景点分布）、生物学（如动物行为）等学科知识，体现综合素养导向。 阅读理解常考的主题特征分析 主题分类 特征 具体内容 历史人物与文化 围绕历史人物生平、文化符号展开，侧重时间顺序、因果关系及文化意义的理解，常结合被动语态与序数词。 文学家成就、历史事件影响、文化遗产保护。 旅游与地理探索 结合 “would like to” 结构，描述自然景观与人文景点，渗透地理知识与跨文化交际，常涉及比较级与最高级。 世界遗产介绍、旅行计划建议、景点文化意义。 学习策略与方法 聚焦高效学习技巧、时间管理及问题解决，强调建议表达与逻辑推理，常结合情态动词与条件状语从句。 阅读技巧训练、考试应对策略、合作学习方法。 自然科学与生态 结合科学现象、动物行为及生态保护，侧重因果关系与说明文结构，常涉及科普词汇与数据推理。 生物进化、自然奇观形成、濒危物种保护。 健康与心理调适 关注压力管理、情绪调节及心理健康，强调生活常识与跨学科整合，常结合建议表达与问题解决。 考试焦虑应对、睡眠质量改善、社交媒体使用建议。 阅读理解题型应对策略 题型分类 特征 考查内容 解题策略 细节理解题 题干含疑问词（what, where, when 等），答案可直接定位原文，干扰项常为无关信息或原文改写。 数字、时间、地点、人物身份等具体信息提取，侧重动词短语（如 take up, look for）及介词搭配。 1. 定位关键词：圈画题干中的人名、地名、数字等，快速匹配原文对应段落。 2. 排除干扰项：注意选项与原文的同义替换（如 “start” 替换 “begin”），避免被无关细节误导。 3. 核查准确性：对比选项与原文句子结构，确保逻辑一致（如因果关系、时间顺序）。 推理判断题 题干含 “infer, imply, probably” 等词，需结合上下文逻辑推断隐含信息，侧重情态动词（如 must, might）及连接词（如 however, therefore）。 作者意图、角色情感、事件后果等深层含义，常涉及 “will + 动词原形” 表预测的语法应用。 1. 分析上下文逻辑：关注转折词（如 but）和因果关系（如 because），推断作者未直接陈述的观点。 2. 排除绝对化选项：避免选择含 “never, always” 等绝对化词汇的选项，优先选择 “may, probably” 等可能性词汇。 3. 代入验证：将选项代入原文，检查是否符合整体语境（如科技发展对生活的影响）。 词义猜测题 题干标注生词并要求解释，考查上下文线索（如定义、例子、对比），侧重形容词（如 environment-friendly）及复合词（如 spaceship）。 学术词汇（如 ecology）、日常词汇的特殊用法（如 “cool” 在俚语中的含义），常结合构词法（如前缀 “un-” 表否定）。 1. 利用标点符号：破折号、括号内的解释性内容直接提供词义线索。 2. 分析句子结构：通过对比（如 “but” 连接的反义词）或举例（如 “such as” 后的具体事物）推断词义。 3. 代入法验证：将选项代入原文，检查是否符合语境（如 “environment” 在环保主题中的含义）。 主旨大意题 题干含 “main idea, purpose” 等词，需概括全文核心，侧重议论文（如环保倡议）和说明文（如节日习俗）的结构分析。 文章中心思想、段落大意、作者写作目的，常涉及教材单元主题。 1. 寻找主题句：重点阅读首尾段及各段首句，通常包含概括性陈述。 2. 排除细节干扰：避免选择仅描述局部内容的选项，如 “机器人的具体功能” 而非 “未来科技的整体影响”。 3. 提炼关键词：统计高频词汇（如 “future, robots”），判断是否与选项匹配。 最佳标题题 题干要求选择最贴切的标题，需涵盖文章核心且简洁凝练，侧重标题的概括性与吸引力。 文章核心话题、情感基调（如积极或消极），常涉及对比（如中外节日差异）。 1. 抓核心矛盾：分析文章主要冲突或对比点（如传统教育与现代科技）。 2. 排除片面选项：避免选择仅涉及细节的标题，如 “感恩节火鸡烹饪步骤” 而非 “感恩节的文化意义”。 3. 对比选项：选择既包含关键词又具有文学性的标题（如 “Hello Kitty: A Global Cultural Icon”）。 观点态度题 题干含 “attitude, opinion” 等词，需判断作者或文中人物的情感倾向，侧重形容词（如 positive, negative）及副词（如 fortunately）。 对某事物的支持、反对或中立态度，常涉及社交媒体或环保议题。 1. 识别情感词汇：寻找表达观点的形容词（如 “wonderful, harmful”）或动词（如 “support, oppose”）。 2. 分析语气：通过反问句（如 “Isn’t it better to...”）或感叹句（如 “How amazing!”）推断态度。 3. 排除无关选项：避免选择与文章主题无关的态度（如 “愤怒” 用于讨论科技发展）。 是非判断题 题干要求判断陈述是否符合原文，干扰项常为无中生有、张冠李戴或过度推断，侧重否定词（如 not）及比较级（如 more）。 事实性信息的正误判断，常涉及数据（如 “树木数量增加 30%”）及时间顺序（如 “1976 年参军”）。 1. 逐一核对：将选项与原文逐句对比，注意数字、时间、地点的准确性。 2. 警惕绝对化表述：含 “all, only” 等词的选项需谨慎，原文可能用 “most, usually” 等词。 3. 排除干扰项：注意选项与原文的同义替换（如 “increase” 替换 “rise”），避免被近义词混淆。 句子还原题 题干要求从选项中选择合适句子填入文章空白处，考查上下文逻辑衔接，侧重代词（如 this, they）及连接词（如 so, however）。 段落间的过渡句、主题句或总结句，常涉及说明文（如健康建议）的结构分析。 1. 分析逻辑关系：根据空白处前后的连接词（如 “but” 表转折）选择对应选项。 2. 代词指代一致：确保选项中的代词（如 “they”）与前文名词（如 “students”）指代一致。 3. 主题连贯：选择与段落主题（如 “环保措施”）一致的句子，避免偏离核心话题。 1 Many people know that rubbish is a big problem on our Earth. What many people don’t know is that junk (垃圾) has become a problem in outer space too. It is reported that there are more than 22,000 pieces of space junk floating around the Earth. And these are just the things that we can see from the surface of the Earth by telescopes (望远镜). There are also millions of smaller pieces of junk that we can’t see. Objects, like bits of old space rockets or satellites, move around the Earth at very high speed, so fast that even a very small piece can break important satellites or become dangerous to astronauts. If the tiniest piece of junk crashed into a spaceship, it could damage the vehicle. To make things worse, when two objects in space crash, they break into many small pieces. To reduce additional space junk, countries have agreed that all new space tools can only stay in space for 25 years at most. Each tool must be built to fall safely into the Earth’s atmosphere (大气) after that time. In the upper parts of the atmosphere, it will burn up. Many scientists are also suggesting different ways to clean up space junk. In England scientists are testing a metal net. The net can catch the junk and then pull it into the Earth’s atmosphere to burn up. The Germans are building robots that can collect pieces of space junk and bring them back to the Earth to be safely destroyed. “The problem is becoming more challenging because we’re sending more objects into space to help people use their mobile phones and computers,” says an Italian space researcher. “The time to act is now. The longer we leave the problem, the bigger it will become,” he says. 1．What does the underlined word “these” in paragraph 2 refer to? A．Pieces of space junk. B．Satellites. C．Telescopes. D．BBC news reports. 2．Why is space junk considered a problem? A．It burns up after it enters the atmosphere again. B．It often stops the view of telescopes on the Earth. C．It could make new space tools travel at slower speed. D．It may do harm to satellites, spaceships or astronauts. 3．Future space tools must be able to fall into the Earth’s atmosphere so that _______. A．the tools can be reused later B．the tools won’t become space junk C．the Earth’s atmosphere can stay clean D．the effects of space flight can be studied 4．How do the Germans plan to deal with space junk? A．Catch it with nets. B．Use robots to collect it. C．Burn it in the Earth’s atmosphere. D．Send it further away from the Earth. 5．In which part of the newspaper would you probably read this article? A．Space. B．Local News. C．Education. D．Fashion. 2 I was in line waiting to pay. In line there were two people before me. A little boy was buying some rather strange clothes. He chatted with anyone who was interested in the clothes and soon we learnt that he was going to a kindergarten (幼儿园) party. He had done a great job of putting together interesting costumes. I noticed that the little boy was paying mostly with change. It seemed that he had robbed his pig bank (存钱罐) to do this shopping. However, the cashier told him he was short after counting all the money. The boy thought for a moment and said, “Please keep the shirt and I will come back with more money.” It was clear that he had already used all the money he had and he was $8 short. The lady in front of me said, “Well, I could pay half of that.” I told the boy that I could pay the other half. We dug into our handbags. However, both of us only had ten-dollar bills (纸币) and we needed the cashier to get the change for us. Other shoppers began digging into their pockets to find some change. It was amazing and touching as all these strangers seemed to react with the same mind. All wanted to be of help. Within minutes the cashier said, “I have too much money.” The cashier didn’t need our ten-dollar bills. Then the lady in front of me, who had been the first to offer help, said, “Wait! I didn’t even get a chance to give anything!” I smiled at her and said, “You did your share, because it was your idea and you started all this.” The little boy smiled and thanked us. We wished him the best and he left. I was left with a good feeling. I had seen the love and goodness of others all around me. The woman in front of me smiled and said, “It sure feels good to give, doesn’t it?” I smiled back and said, “Yes!” 1．Where did the story happen? A．In a shop. B．In a park. C．In a hospital. D．In a police station. 2．What does the underlined word “touching” most probably mean? A．Sad. B．Moving. C．Happy. D．Afraid. 3．Why did the writer and the woman both feel glad? A．Because the boy had saved some money. B．Because they both didn’t need to give anything. C．Because the cashier didn’t laugh at the boy. D．Because all the shoppers around were willing to help the boy. 4．The right order of the following events is _______. ①The little boy was told he was 8 dollars short. ②The little boy chatted happily with people in the waiting line. ③A lady offered to pay half of that but failed. ④All the people including the boy felt good. ⑤Many shoppers began digging into their pockets to find some change.

Perhaps a piano is too expensive for you to afford. Now thanks to a programme in Sydney called “Play Me, I’m Yours”, people are able to play the piano in public places for free. They share beautiful music and the programme also helps them communicate with each other. Thirty pianos have been placed in different parts of the city, including several parks, a bus stop and some streets. The pianos have the logo “Play Me, I’m Yours” on them. People are invited to play music or sing songs with the pianos no matter what level of ability they have. Lots of people have been attracted to the programme and stopped to watch or play the pianos. “Play Me, I’m Yours” is part of the Sydney Festival. It is a project of the British artist Luck Jerram. He wants to help people in the city connect with each other. He thinks that so many people are sitting in front of computers, busy with their work all hours, and they almost have no chance to enjoy music. So the purpose of the project is to help them relax and make new friends. The programme “Play Me, I’m Yours” has also reached England and Brazil (巴西) before. It was warmly welcomed there. But its greatest success seems to come at the Sydney Festival. “It’s a chance for people to be creative, connect with strangers and just have some fun,” Jerram said. 1．According to the first sentence of the passage, your childhood piano lessons may be _______.

Even today trees continue to serve man in many ways. Trees provide man with fruits and building materials in the form of wood. People learnt to build tools, weapons, houses, boats and even bridges with wood from trees. Furniture, such as tables, chairs and beds, is also made of wood. In the tropics (热带地区), it is very hot all year round. Trees protect man from the terrible heat. They are also useful in preventing good and rich top soil from being washed away during heavy rains. If there were no trees or vegetation (植被) of some kinds to hold back the soil with their roots, heavy rains would wash away the rich surface (表面) soil that is so important and necessary to agriculture (农业). The result is that the land becomes a desert. There are so many desert areas in the world. A long time ago these desert areas must have been very rich fertile (肥沃的) areas, but since our ancestors (祖先) in the distant past had no enough knowledge about science of nature, they cut down all the trees in the areas and never planted new ones. Day after day, the rich surface soil was blown away and washed away by strong wind and heavy rains. In the end, the land was turned into useless deserts where nothing could grow. 1．According to the first two paragraphs, which of the following is true? A．Ancient people didn’t know the use of trees. B．Trees are not as useful now as they used to be. C．Trees are more useful now than they used to be. D．Humans began to make use of trees a long time ago. 2．If there were no trees, _______. A．the land would become more fertile B．there would be no deserts C．the rich top soil couldn’t be held back D．there would be no agriculture at all 3．According to the passage, some desert areas were once _______. A．lands with good soil B．covered by ice and snow C．very cold D．very dry and useless 4．From the passage, we know that it is _______ for us to keep the balance (平衡) of nature. A．useless B．difficult C．important D．possible 9 Is there something in your community (社区) that could be changed? Is there a person in your neighborhood who could offer help? If you’re hoping for someone to make a difference, that someone could be you! Volunteering your time is a great way to make a difference in your community. You can do something to help people or improve the places around you. This past summer, my friends and I noticed how messy our neighborhood park was. We wanted it to be different. We worked without parents and teachers to clean up the park. We had a great time making the park even better than before, and now the whole neighborhood is able to share and enjoy it again. Volunteering can not only do good in the community, it can also make you happier. Studies show that people who volunteer hardly develop depression (抑郁). Find chances to do volunteer work that interests you. For example, if you love animals, you can volunteer at an animal shelter. If you love helping the environment, you can plant trees or pick up rubbish. You can also help at an old people’s home, simply by talking or playing games with them to make their days better. When you do these interesting work, it will bring you a lot of happiness and make you enjoy the volunteer experience. When the little things you do can change a person’s life, you will feel better about yourself. You see, whatever you do as a volunteer, you make a difference in your community. And our time will be enjoyed and that always feels good. Kids everywhere are making a difference by volunteering. You can, too! 1．What did the writer do to make a difference in the community?

We also receive waste from some developed countries. We get some useful materials from it. What about the useless part? Still burned or buried. But is it a proper way? Waste pollutes the environment, harms people’s health and causes animals to die. It also gets in the way of green and sustainable development. We can’t make money at the cost of the environment. We should leave clean water and green mountains to our next generations (辈). China is getting really serious about waste now. We are taking less waste from developed countries. From January 2018, China started to stop 24 kinds of waste coming into our country. And more laws and rules about dealing with waste have been made. Anyone who breaks the law will be punished. China also tries to put waste into good use. One example is the waste electricity (电) factories.They burn waste to make electricity in a green way. No harmful gases or water will get into the environment. Meanwhile our country is encouraging people to separate waste into different groups. Cities like Shanghai, Chongqing and Beijing have their own sorting (分类) systems. More will join them soon. More and more people are forming the habit of separating their waste. 1．The writer starts the passage by ________.

It is free to the public, allowing anyone to check out the park’s AI devices (设备), Xinhua reported. Haidian Park covers about 34 hectares near the 4th Ring Road. It received about 1.2 million tourists in 2017. The district government of Haidian and the Internet company Baidu signed an agreement in January to jointly explore the “smart city” building. Haidian Park was chosen to run the pilot programme. Visitors can travel around the park on driverless buses. There is also a running road that has cameras at its starting point, midway point, and finishing point that can record health data when you run on it. The data include travel distance, time, heartbeat and pulse (脉搏). You can collect this data by following the park’s official WeChat account. You can learn t’ai chi by practising in front of a screen in the park. Cameras record your movements and compare them with the teacher’s to help you improve. “It’s hard to imagine that elderly people like me could have such a technological experience,” Mrs. He told People’s Daily. Her husband made a video while she was practising Tai chi. In recent years, many Chinese high-tech companies have set foot in the AI industry. The central government stressed that it would make the development of the country’s new generation of artificial intelligence become better and more successful. 1．If you want to check out the park’s AI devices, how much will you pay?

My heart was in the right place, but I couldn’t always follow the rules. I played many tricks on my schoolmates. Once, I even pulled a girl’s hair on the school bus to get her attention. As a result, I was repeatedly sent to the office of the principal (校长). Although I hated going there, I did not hate the principal, Mr. Ratcliff. Mr. Ratcliff was a kind, elderly man. When he spanked (打屁股) me for putting some ants into a classmate’s pencil box, it didn’t hurt at all, but it did hurt my feelings. I thought so much of him and moments like that seemed to prove I was hopelessly bad. When I was called to Mr. Ratcliff’s office for the sixth time, I had no idea what I had done. I felt disappointed as I walked down there. I went into his office, sat down, and looked at the floor. Then he said the last thing I expected to hear: “Kevin, I’ve heard you’ve been behaving really well lately. I want you to know how proud I am of you, and I just called you down to my office to give you a peppermint.” “Really?” I was surprised. “Yes. Now you can take that peppermint and go back to class.” I carried the peppermint with me as if it were a gold coin. When I got into my classroom, I bragged (吹嘘)to my classmates about my turnaround, excitedly. I wasn’t so bad after all. Mr. Ratcliff was really kind. He made me realize that I was just a kid who had problems with behavior. Mr. Ratcliff gave me some hope by giving me some love. I will just remember him for the rest of my life. 1．In his seventh grade, the writer ________.

Buck was the first American woman to be awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature. She wrote about one hundred books. But most people remember Pearl S. Buck for her novels about China. She knew the country and its people very well. For nearly forty years, China was her home. Pearl’s parents were religious (宗教的) workers in China. In 1892, they were visiting the United States when Pearl was born in Hillsboro, West Virginia. Four months after her birth, the family moved back to China. Pearl and her family lived among Chinese people. Pearl’s education began at home. Her mother taught her many of the things she would have learned in an American school. A Chinese tutor taught Pearl other subjects, including the writings of the famous thinker Confucius, Chinese reading, writing, and history. When she was young, she began reading the works of British writer Charles Dickens. Many years later, after she had become a famous author, she said that Dickens writing style had the greatest influence on her own style. Her first novel was East Wind, West Wind. It tells the story of a Chinese girl who learns about the western world. But it was Pearl S. Buck’s next book—The Good Earth that made her famous and brought her the money she needed. And it became the best-selling book in the United States in 1931 and 1932. Pearl S. Buck won the Pulitzer Prize. In 1938, Pearl S. Buck was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature. After almost forty years in China, the writer moved back to the United States. Pearl S. Buck gave many speeches in America. She talked to young people about the importance of a good education.

It has 32 capsules (密闭舱) and carries about10,000 visitors every day. You can travel in complete safety. And you can see up to 140 kilometres away in all directions from each capsule. Because of the way the capsules are hung, it provides a full 360-degree panorama (全景) at the top of the wheel. Buckingham Palace Buckingham Palace is Queen Elizabeth II’s official residence (寝宫). The State Rooms (国事厅) have been opened to the public for the Summer Opening since 1993.

The Queen is not at Buckingham Palace when it is open to the public. The British Museum The British Museum was opened to the public in 1753 and it continues to be free since then. More than 7 million objects are kept in the British Museum, and it may take a week to see everything! Don’t think the British Museum is full of works of art from old England.

Are the police waiting for me in it?” he asked himself. He went to the front door and pushed it. To his surprise, it was open! He went in very quietly. The room was clean, small and very warm. Suddenly Coke froze. There was someone else in the room. He could feel it! He turned around quickly and, at the same time, put his hand on his pocket. There was a small knife there. He saw an old woman. She had a dish in her hands and there was a sweet smell of meat and vegetables. She did not look afraid. She did not even look surprised. “I’m sorry,” she said, and put the dish down on the table. Coke could hardly believe his ears.

All the students nearly fell out of their chairs, laughing at me. “Don’t be silly. Only geniuses (天才) can become writers. And you are getting a D this term,” they said. I was deeply hurt and I couldn’t help crying. That night I wrote a short, sad poem about my broken dream and mailed it to the Weekly Newspaper. To my surprise, they published (发表) it, and sent me two dollars. I was a paid writer! I showed it to my classmates. They laughed again. “Just luck,” they said. However, I had tasted the joy of success because my first poem was published. By the time I finished high school, I had collected all my published works together. But I never talked about my writing dream to my classmates again. I just kept on my dream by myself and kept writing. Later, I wrote a book about how I understood and felt about my life. It took me nine months to finish it. I chose a publisher and mailed my book. A month later, I received a letter, with an invitation for publishing the book. It came out in 15 languages and became a bestseller (畅销书). People often ask what college I studied in and what degrees I have got. The answer is none. I just write. I’m not a genius and I’m not talented. I just write. To all those who dream of being a writer, I should say, “Yes, you can be writers.

But do you know that we also do communication with ourselves from time to time? Picture this: Your mom asks you what you would like for breakfast. Many foods come to your mind: pancakes, bread, porridge … You think that it would be great to have pancakes. Until you tell your mom what you want to eat, you are communicating with yourself. We call this kind of communication intrapersonal communication. This can be, talking to ourselves, reading, writing, thinking, understanding and remembering something. Intrapersonal communication plays a big role in our lives. Good intrapersonal communication allows you to understand yourself better. When you’re comfortable with who you are, and you know what you want, you can better get on with yourself. Also, intrapersonal communication helps you to keep an eye on your thoughts and feelings. When you find that your mind is full of negative (消极的) thoughts and feelings, and that they make you sad, you will try to cheer up and get rid of these bad thoughts and feelings. What’s more, intrapersonal communication helps with your communication with others. Understanding your thoughts and feelings better allows you to put yourself in others’ shoes when you talk to or listen to them. Then, you can better understand and get on with them. 1．How does the writer explain the idea of intrapersonal communication in Paragraph 1? A．By providing some surveys. B．By listing numbers.

A．The Importance of Communicating with Others B．Learn to Communicate with Yourself C．How to Communicate Better with Others D．Put Yourself in Others’ Shoes 22 Many schools have increased the number of PE classes from three times a week to five or even more. This is in response to (响应) China’s new standard (标准) on PE classes. The standard asks schools to make sure that 10 to 11 percent of all class time must be PE classes, third only to Chinese and math. Along with easy exercises like running and long jump, the standard also asks schools to give students other popular sports to do. Ma Jiajun, 17, from Jilin, set a new world record for “the most consecutive jump rope triples (连续三摇跳绳)” with 701 times. His teacher Chen Peng said that the school has always kept an eye on PE. With Ma as a role model now, students are more hard-working on not only jump rope but also other kinds of sports. “At first tai chi was only needed during break time to promote Chinese traditional culture, but students gradually fell in love with it,” said Gao Yuxiang from a middle school of Shandong. Senior 1 students all need to do it, and there’s a tai chi contest every year for Senior 2 students. “Different from ball games, tai chi calms me down and eases my mind, getting me ready for the next class”, said Gao. “I enjoy hip-hop dance,” Ren Jianing, a school student, said, “The class doesn’t need any experience, so anyone can sign up.” Every class they practice a part of the dance and in the next class put the parts together into a whole dance. “Our shirts are all wet after class even on the coldest days of winter,” said Ren. 1．How many other kinds of exercises are mostly talked about after the new standard in this passage? A．One. B．Two. C．Three. D．Four. 2．Which of the following is TRUE? A．According to the new standard, PE is even more important than math and Chinese. B．With Ma as a role model, students are only hard-working on jump rope. C．Students with no experience can’t sign up for the hip-hop dance class. D．Tai chi may calm students down and get them ready for the next class. 3．What can we infer (推断) from the passage? A．Ren Jianing really enjoys hip-hop dance. B．There is a tai chi contest for Senior 1 students. C．Students may be hard-working in hip-hop classes. D．Schools should try to provide fewer ball games. 4．What’s the best title for the passage? A．PE Gets More and More Important B．How to Be Healthy in PE Class C．China’s New Standard on Classes D．What Was the PE Class Like 23 Yang Xiuying, 76, sits at a wooden loom (织布机). As her fingers pass the shuttle back and forth through the cotton threads, the old machine comes to life. Ever since she was a young girl, Yang has been making indigo (靛蓝的) cloth. “You can never buy this type of handmade cloth at the market," she says. For the Dong people (侗族) in Guizhou, it is a long tradition to make indigo cloth. The skill has been passed down from mother to daughter over generations. Nearly every family makes its own cloth. This traditional skill, unfortunately, is now facing danger. Young people show little interest in it. Some of them have moved to big cities to find better jobs. Local officials are trying to change young people’s attitude. One program has set up several cloth-making factories in Guizhou. After learning how to make indigo cloth, young Dong people can now find jobs easily. They can also work closer to home. Traditionally, the Dong people consider indigo cloth as important as rice. Many Dong women spend long hours making the cloth. They rise and start working very early in the morning. To make the cloth shiny, it must be rubbed and beaten hard. The noise of cloth being beaten often wakes the whole village up. The cloth has to be put in the dye (染料) over many times to get the rich color. The process of coloring usually takes two weeks. Yang holds out her purple hands. “They say she who has the darkest indigo marks on her hands makes the best cloth,” the old lady says proudly. 1．What is Yang Xiuying doing at the beginning of the text? A．She is making some cotton cloth. B．She is repairing an old machine. C．She is selling newly-made indigo cloth. D．She is teaching how to make indigo cloth. 2．What is the purpose of the program mentioned in Para. 3? A．To help people understand the history of making indigo cloth. B．To force some young people to learn the tradition. C．To bring some young people back from big cities. D．To save the tradition of making indigo cloth. 3．What does Yang probably want to say in the last paragraph? A．She aims to make the process of coloring short.

The company behind it, also called DeepSeek, is a business based in Hangzhou, Zhejiang. Here is more information about it. The new AI first appeared on Jan 20. In just one week, it beat Open AI’s ChatGPT and became number one free application (应用) in the App Store. What is so special about it? According to DeepSeek, the new AI model is as good at difficult activities like math as other big time models. But it needs much less computing power (算力) to do that. It is also the cheapest of its kind and took only about 5.57 million US dollars (40.58 million yuan) to make. That is way less than the hundreds of millions or even billions that US businesses have to spend on making similar AI models, said Marc Andreessen, a technology expert in the US. The achievement was largely due to an idea the scientist had while they trained it. Instead of using the traditional ways, DeepSeek mainly uses Reinforcement Learning (RL, 强化学习). It helps AI learn by working out the right way to do things on its own to get points. This makes R1 better at reasoning and solving hard problems. What’s more, DeepSeek-R1 is open-source (开源的). Everyone is free to get a copy of its code (代码). They can also change the code to meet their own needs. Being open-source is very important for sharing knowledge and making technology better for everyone, said Liang Wenfeng, who set up DeepSeek. 1．What does Paragraph 2 mainly say about DeepSeek-R1? A．It’s new. B．It’s popular. C．It’s special. D．It’s free. 2．How does DeepSeek-R1 learn to solve problems? A．By copying human teachers. B．Through Reinforcement Learning (RL). C．By following strict rules set by programmers. D．Using only math skills. 3．What does the term “open-source” mean in the passage? A．The code is free to use and modify. B．The AI model is sold at a high price. C．Only experts can access the code. D．It requires special permission to download (下载). 4．Which of the following shows the structure (结构) of the passage?

A possible answer is that they just feel bored. Why don’t we like feeling bored? What is boredom? Boredom is a feeling. There are two kinds of boredom: meaningless and attentional (注意力相关的). The first type happens when we don’t find meaning in our actions. The second type comes when people find it too difficult to focus on something. For example, students might say that “math is boring”. That is because it’s too difficult for them. Is boredom bad? Boredom is neither good nor (既不……也不……) bad. What matters is our attitude. For example, we may find a math problem boring. If we can’t deal with (处理) our feelings well, we might just give up and feel bad. But things change when we can control (控制) our feelings and try to solve (解决) the problem. Boredom can then become a good chance (机会) to learn new things. Are we more bored now? No, boredom is not a new thing. Over 2,000 years ago, people already felt bored. However, it’s now much easier to get away from boredom because of things like phones.

Stinky mandarin fish (臭鳜鱼) If you love Chinese food, you might know it has eight main types. In Hui cuisine (风味), there’s a dish known for its special smell—stinky mandarin fish. To make it, you put the fish in a wooden bucket (桶) with salt and press down on it. After a few days, when it smells strong, you can take the fish out. Then, you cook it with other food, and it’s time to enjoy this special Hui-style dish. River snail rice noodles (螺蛳粉) River snail rice noodles from Guangxi have become popular lately. Many people enjoy eating this dish even though it smells bad. To make it, you need sour bamboo shoots (酸笋). You boil the noodles, add the river snail soup and sour bamboo shoots, and then throw in some peanuts (花生), mushrooms and other tasty things. Smelly wax gourd (臭冬瓜) The tasty dish, smelly wax gourd, comes from Ningbo, Zhejiang. In the past, fishermen needed lots of vegetables that could be kept a long time. Wax gourds were cheap and easy to store at that time, so they were the first choice. Even when they started to smell, the fishermen still ate them with salt and sesame oil.

Everyone may experience these situations in daily life and this doing-it-all-at-once thing is known as multitasking. Multitasking means doing more than one activity at a time. In daily life, many of us multitask without even realizing it. But does multitasking really do good to our lives? You may think multitasking saves your time, but the truth is that only 2.5% of people can multitask well. Studies have found that most people who multitask will spend more time and make more mistakes. That’s because when we multitask, we are overusing (过度使用) the part of our brain that controls thinking and planning. It is hard on our brains. Our brains will get tired, and since we’re not successfully finishing any one task, we can feel upset and stressed. Instead, if we only deal with one task at a time, we will do a better and more correct job. However, others may disagree. They think people multitask not only because they want to save time but also because they enjoy it. Some scientists find that multitasking makes people feel more active and have a better sense of participation (参与感). These good feelings will improve their performance and offer a feeling of satisfaction. Also, multitasking is a modern way of life and an important skill you should learn as you grow up. After all, who doesn’t want to complete more in less time? Instead of stopping multitasking, it’s better to learn how to deal with so many tasks well. It seems that multitasking is playing an important role in our lives. But it may not be as useful as you expect. What do you think?
