江西中考真题练
(2024·江西·中考真题)In October 2018, someone in South Carolina won $1.5 billion. The nearly impossible odds (概率) of winning were 1 in 302.5 million! Many people probably wish they’d been the lucky ones happily accepting the prize.
It’s not hard to imagine the things one could do with this newfound wealth, but would this money actually make someone happy? The experiences of several lottery (抽奖) winners show that it probably wouldn’t. Suddenly coming into big money can change a person’s life in unexpected and sometimes unpleasant ways. Take William Post, for example, who had only $2.46 in the bank when he won $16.2 million in a New York lottery in 1998. Within 3 months, he was poor again because of careless spending. He wasn’t as happy as he felt before winning the prize.
Then there was Callie Rogers, a British teenager from a common family, won $3 million in 2003. She bought her family and friends lavish gifts and bought herself expensive clothes. After six years, Callie lost all her money and realized that money didn’t make her happy. In fact, she became worried that people were friendly with her only to get her money.
Lottery winners are not the only ones who can end up unhappy. People who get big money for some other reasons, e.g. receiving money from others, are also at risk. They may not know how to deal with money and do not ask experts for advice. They waste money on things they don’t need and give away too much money to friends and relatives.
Researchers found that people are happy when they are able to pay for their basic needs, such as food, clothes, a safe place to live, and health care. People are also happy when they give reasonable (合理的) amounts of money to charities. Giving makes them feel as if they’re making a difference. Lavish things, such as expensive clothes and cars, only make people happy for a moment.
People can hope and wish to suddenly come into lots of money to improve their lives, but perhaps there are better ways to find happiness.
1.How does the writer support his opinion in Paragraph 2?
A.By giving an example. B.By listing numbers.
C.By telling the differences. D.By asking a question.
2.What did William and Callie have in common according to the passage?
A.They came from the same country.
B.They won the lotteries in the same year.
C.They were poor before winning the lotteries.
D.They spent their money quickly and carelessly.
3.What does the underlined word “lavish” in Paragraph 3 mean?
A.Expensive. B.Funny. C.Surprising. D.Lucky.
4.Which of the following can be inferred from the passage?
A.Big money brings lasting happiness.
B.People’s lives depend on lottery prizes.
C.Reasonable spending makes people happy.
D.The basic needs of people are easily satisfied.
5.What’s the writer’s purpose for writing the passage?
A.To encourage readers to make big money.
B.To advise people to stay away from lotteries.
C.To show his opinion about money and happiness.
D.To share some success stories about finding happiness.

The Maori arrived in New Zealand from Polynesian (波利尼西亚) islands about a thousand years ago. They were the first people to live in New Zealand.
In the late 18th century, Europeans came to live in New Zealand. At that time, the population of the Maori was maybe 250,000 in New Zealand. Over the next one hundred years, wars and disease killed many Maori people. By the end of the 19th century, there were only about 40,000 Maori people left.

(2025·江西新余·模拟预测)The Amsterdam Light Festival is one of the most special art events in the world. It’s all about using light to create unusual and beautiful images for everyone to enjoy.
Taking place for 53 days between December and January every year, it is a time when artists from around the world get to Amsterdam for a really big outdoor art show. The art, which is lit from 5 p.m. to 11 p.m. every night, is mostly located along the city’s famous canals (运河).
Each year’s event has its own theme. The thirteenth edition (期) of Amsterdam Light Festival takes place from November 28th, 2024 until January 19th, 2025, and has the theme “Rituals (仪式)”. Rituals have traditionally helped people through all kinds of transformations, from past to future, from winter to summer, from youth to adulthood. Light plays an important role in many rituals. They bring people together. Past themes include “DISRUPT!” “Celebrate Light” and “Nature Calls”.
The Amsterdam Light Festival has also found a way to include kids in the event. More than 1,500 students in the city’s schools take part in the workshops in which they lean about creativity, technology, and most importantly, light as a form of art.

(2025·江西·模拟预测)People throw trash into the ocean and the trash has become the “home” of hermit crabs (寄居蟹). Believe it or not, it is happening all over the world. Unlike other crabs, hermit crabs are born with soft bodies, so they need to look for shells for protection. They look at the shells’ type, size, and color. Then, they use their legs to check the inside of the shells to make sure they fit. As they grow, they give up their old shells and find bigger ones to live in. Plastic trash is lighter than natural shells, so hermit crabs can move around easily in them. It may also help male hermit crabs to attract mates because man-made “shells” might be interesting to female hermit crabs.
However, “trash shells” can bring danger. Compared to natural shells, plastic waste is often brighter in color. It might stand out more against the background, making it easier for predators (捕食者) to see. Hermit crabs could also get stuck and die when they go into plastic bottles.
1.What does the underlined word “they” in Paragraph 1 refer to?
A.Hermit crabs. B.Soft bodies. C.Shells. D.Crabs legs.

(2025·江西抚州·模拟预测)Xiangsheng, or crosstalk, is one of the most popular performing art forms in China. People of all ages take a great interest in crosstalk in China.
It is said that crosstalk first appeared in China during the Ming Dynasty. But most people believed that it was not until the middle and late Qing Dynasty that crosstalk became an independent art form.
As the earliest forms of crosstalk, dankou is performed by an actor who usually tells jokes or humorous stories. It is known as qunkou when performed by three or more people. But most of the time, crosstalk is performed by two actors, called duikou. The lead actor is called dougen, while the one playing the supporting role is called penggen. The two performers usually discuss or argue over a subject or a social topic in a humorous way. The main purpose, of course, is to make the people laugh loudly.
There are four basic skills in modern crosstalk: shuo, xue, dou and chang. Shuo covers telling jokes, guessing riddles and saying tongue twisters (绕口令). Xue is usually a very interesting part of crosstalk and includes the imitation (模仿) of the sounds and voices of human beings and animals. Dou means the skills of making people laugh. Chang is a way to show their singing skills to make people pay attention to their performance.
In recent years, with the rise of online videos, more and more people focus on crosstalk. In 2008, crosstalk entered the national list of intangible cultural heritage (非物质文化遗产) in China.

(2025·江西·模拟预测)Have you ever thought about what goes into making a cartoon? Or maybe there is a famous cartoon from another country you like to watch in Chinese? But how do you change the language to Chinese? This is something called dubbing. Dubbing means adding sounds or words in a new language to a movie, radio or TV shows. Dubbing is usually done to make it easier for people in another country to understand a movie or a show.
For me, I’ve had experience dubbing TV shows and cartoons from Chinese into English. I’ve done dubbing for many kinds of shows, such as love stories, kung fu movies and documentaries. My favorite ones to dub, though, are cartoons, because with cartoons I can use many different kinds of voices, such as high ones for good guys and low ones for bad guys.
Two of my favorite cartoons that I’ve dubbed were called A Hundred Birds Paying Homage to the Phoenir and The Foolish Old Man Who Removes the Mountains. In the first cartoon, I got to play a silly and overly (过度地) proud but well-meaning black bird. In the second cartoon, I played both the main hero named Qingfeng and the main bad guy named Mountain Spirit Zheng. The hardest part was reading the written words and acting out the voice while matching the actions at the same time. Still, it was really fun voicing all of these different characters!
If you enjoy making different voices, then I highly suggest that you try dubbing at least once.
1.What does the underlined word “dubbing” in Paragraph 1 mean in Chinese?
A.配音 B.剪辑 C.录像 D.制作
2.Why do some shows need dubbing?
A.Because it costs little but means a lot.
B.Because it can make shows become more interesting.
C.Because it can make people understand shows easily.
D.Because it can make people lose themselves in these shows.
3.What kind of shows has the writer done dubbing for?
a. love stories b. kung fu movies c. documentaries d. scary movies
A.abc B.bcd C.acd D.abd
4.Which question can help readers know the main idea of the passage?
A.Do you like China’s kung fu? B.Do you like to watch cartoons?
C.Do you want to find a job for dubbing? D.Do you want to play a role in a movie?
5.What’s the writer’s purpose for writing the passage?
A.To explain the history of cartoons.
B.To introduce two of his favorite cartoons.
C.To complain about the difficulties of dubbing.
D.To share his experience with dubbing and encourage others to try it.
(24-25九年级下·江西宜春·期中)Do you love to live in a big house or a small one? “Tiny homes”—houses that are around 40 or fewer square meters—have become more popular in recent years, with 53% of Americans saying they would consider buying one. Tiny homes are found all over the world, but they’re the most popular in the US, where there are over 10,000.
Pre-built (预先建好的) tiny houses are available, though many people choose to build their own. Inside, they often look like regular houses, but much smaller. There might be a small open kitchen and a living area, a bathroom and a bed that can be reached by a ladder (梯子). Most houses are built on trailers, making it easy for people to change the location. And this kind of tiny house is very popular in the US.
One big advantage of a tiny house is cost. According to a study, in 2018 the average cost of an 8.5-meter-long tiny home was$65,000, while a normal home in the US cost an average of $272, 000. Some people also like tiny homes because they are good for the environment. They need less energy to heat, and they often use sun’s energy, or are built using green and local materials. Some people choose to live in a tiny house because they want a smaller home after they retire (退休) or because they’re trying to cut down their cost of living. For many, though, they just can’t afford anything bigger.
Carwyn Lloyd Jones, who teaches a course on building tiny homes in the UK, thought that these types of houses seem to become popular to young people. “It’s because they want to have that space to live in, but they are not necessarily able to afford the land to build a full-size house,” he said.
1.In what way does the writer tell us how popular tiny houses are in recent years?
A.By using numbers. B.By giving examples.
C.By writing about his own experiences. D.By comparing the different types of houses.

3.What does the underlined word “trailers” in Paragraph 2 mean?
A.Countries. B.Floors. C.Rooms. D.Trucks.
4.What’s the advantage of a tiny house?
A.It costs too much money. B.People usually sell it after they retire.
C.It is harmful to the environment. D.Some people are able to afford to build it.
5.What would be the best title for the passage?
A.How do Americans Protect the Environment? B.Why do People Choose to Live in Tiny Homes?
C.How do People Save Money to Build a House? D.What will Young People’s Life Be Like in the US?
(2025·江苏泰州·一模)①The Chinese language differs from Western languages in that, instead of an alphabet (字母表), it uses characters (文字) which stand for ideas, objects or deeds. Chinese words are formed by putting together different characters. In many cases, a single character can also make up a word. As one kind of the most ancient characters, Chinese characters have played an important role in the development of Chinese culture.
②Chinese writing began thousands of years ago. According to an ancient story, a man named Cang Jie invented Chinese writing. One winter day while he was hunting, he saw the footprints of animals in the snow and noticed that the appearance of each one was different. Then he had the idea that he could use different shapes to represent different objects. The first Chinese characters were drawings of physical objects. Some characters have been simplified (简化) and others have been made more difficult over time.
③Not all characters were developed from drawings of objects. However, as a whole, the characters have developed from drawings into standard forms. The character for a mountain was at first three mountaintops together. This became one mountaintop and three lines, and over time turned into the character used nowadays.
④Sometimes to express ideas, some characters were made by combining two or more characters together. For example, “休” was made up of the characters for a man and a tree. The character “囚” was formed with a “man” inside a square. Other characters were developed for directions and numbers. It is easy to distinguish (区别) their meanings by looking at them, for example, the characters for “up” and “down”, which are opposites of each other.
⑤Though these kinds of characters indicate (表明) meanings, one of their shortcomings is that they do not show how they should be pronounced. Therefore, a method was developed to have one part of a character represent the meaning and the other suggest the pronunciation. Many Chinese characters used today were made this way.
⑥In the 1950s, the Chinese government introduced simplified Chinese characters in the hope to make learning to read and write more understandable to the general population, which would increase literacy (读写能力) across the country. And now they have widespread use in China.
1.The earliest Chinese characters were mainly based on ________.
A.animal sounds B.simplified shapes C.drawings of objects D.Math symbols
2.The writer introduces the Chinese characters by ________ in Paragraph 4.
A.giving examples B.providing causes C.expressing opinions D.comparing facts
3.Which Chinese character used the method of the underlined sentence?
A.亦 B.竹 C.明 D.桐
4.What can we learn from the passage?
A.Chinese characters have turned into standard forms, all of which are easier than before.
B.Chinese characters we use today have been accepted by large numbers of people.
C.Chinese characters existed at the very beginning and remain today like other ancient symbols.
D.Chinese words and English words are both formed by putting alphabets and characters together.
5.In which part of a newspaper can we probably find the passage?
A.Entertainment. B.Culture. C.Nature. D.Review.
(2025·江西九江·二模)Do you wear glasses? If yes, would you like to have surgery (手术) so you don’t need to wear them anymore? Many believe that surgery can fix the problem forever, but that’s not always the case.
Most people wear glasses because of nearsightedness (近视). When we see things, light comes into our eyes and focuses on the retina (视网膜). But for people with nearsightedness, in their eyes, light focuses in front of the retina. This makes things far away seem blurry but close things seem clear.
Surgery can treat this. Xu Jiayi, a 19-year-old student from Beijing, had the surgery five months ago during the winter vacation. “After the surgery, I can see very clearly. Life is more convenient without having to wear eyeglasses,” said Xu.
However, the process is not as easy as you might think. Xu said that her eyes hurt badly right after the surgery. Also, she needed to use medicine for at least three months. “At first, there were four types of medicines, then the number became six,” she said. These medicines help the eye heal (康复) and prevent eye problems.
Moreover, if you don’t look after your eye health well, nearsightedness may return even after surgery. “Because I use my eyes too much both at work and at home, things have started to look blurry to me again,” said Du Anni, 32, who had the surgery nine years ago.
Instead of fixing nearsightedness, “the surgery just lets you ‘take off your glasses’,” said Wei Wenbin from the Beijing Tongren Hospital in a speech in July. He said that the surgery doesn’t fix the changes in the eye’s structure.
1.How does the writer introduce the topic in the first paragraph?
A.By giving the example. B.By making the comparison.
C.By asking questions. D.By telling the stories.
2.Why do people with nearsightedness can’t see things clearly far away?
A.Because the light can’t get into the eyes.
B.Because the light focuses in front of the retina.
C.Because the light doesn’t focus on the retina.
D.Because the light focuses at the back of the retina.
3.What happens to Xu Jiayi after the surgery?
A.Her eyes don’t hurt any more after the surgery.
B.She has to use four kinds of medicine for two months.
C.Her eyes’ structure has changed a lot after the surgery.
D.Her life becomes convenient without wearing eyeglasses.
4.What can we learn from the last two paragraphs?
A.Nearsightedness may return if we don’t take care of our eyes.
B.The surgery can fix the changes in the eye’s structure completely.
C.As long as you have the right surgery, nearsightedness won’t come back.
D.The surgery just lets you take off glasses but you still can’t see things clearly.
5.What would be the best title for this passage?
A.Surgery Does Harm to Eyes. B.Are Eyesight Problems Solved?
C.Medicines Heal Nearsightedness. D.Nearsightedness Is Common for Teenagers.
(2025·江西九江·二模)A lot of people take up dancing as a hobby after school. In fact, dancing has been considered one of the best exercises to fight bad feelings in recent years. Why?
Dancing, which involves (包含) moving the body to different kinds of music, helps our bodies produce much endorphin (内啡肽), a chemical (化学物质) that makes us feel relaxed and happy.
While simply listening to music or doing sports can cheer us up, mixing them together gives better results. In a study, a group of German scientists tested some patients under three conditions: a group dancing with music, a group just listening to music, and a group riding bikes without music. The results showed that the first group were the least depressed.
Dancing can bring people together, too. Tango, Latin or other social dancing require us to move with others, which can improve our sense of social bonding (联系), according to IBSA, a Swiss scientific foundation.
Dancing also helps people let go of bad feelings. Studies have found that depression often has to do with sadness about the past or worries about the future. However, dancing helps you focus on the present, connect with your body, and free your mind for a while, as reported by Psych Central, a mental health news website.
Studies showed that if people enjoy any kind of music, dancing can be a helpful way to reduce stress. Dancing can take any form, whether it’s moving around the house to a song or going out dancing with friends. The important part of movement (运动) is that it is fun. So, it isn’t any excuse for you not to give dancing a chance!
1.Why does dancing is the best exercise to fight bad feelings?
A.Because lots of people take up dancing as a hobby.
B.Because dancing involves different kinds of music.

3.What does the underlined word “depressed” in Paragraph 3 mean?
A.Sad. B.Excited. C.Confident. D.Healthy.

(2025·江西上饶·一模)When we talk about communication, we often think of communicating with others. 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: bread, cake, milk, and porridge... You think that it would be great to have bread. Until you tell your mom what you want to eat, you are communicating with yourself.
We call this kind of communication intrapersonal communication (自我沟通). This can be talking to ourselves, reading, writing, thinking, understanding and remembering things.
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 thoughts and feelings, and they make you sad, you will try to cheer up and get rid of (摆脱) 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.

For more than a month, the world has been very excited about a new AI model called DeepSeek-R1. The company behind it, also called DeepSeek, is a business based in Hangzhou, Zhejiang.
The new AI first appeared on January 20th. In just one week, it beat OpenAI’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 the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 2 refer to?
A.DeepSeek-R1. B.OpenAI. C.ChatGPT. D.App Store.
2.What is one of the strong points of DeepSeek-R1 compared to other AI models?
A.It’s cheaper to develop. B.It’s smarter than others.
C.It’s better at difficult activities. D.It’s quicker in solving problems.
3.How does DeepSeek-R1 learn?
A.In a traditional way. B.Through solving hard problems.
C.By finding the right way to do things independently.
D.By following all kinds of orders from its creators.
4.Why is it important that DeepSeek-R1 is open-source?
A.It makes AI safer. B.It creates new knowledge.
C.It makes AI cheaper. D.It makes the use of AI wider.
5.What is the theme of the passage?
A.The importance of open-source code. B.The challenges faced by DeepSeek-R1.
C.The differences between AI models. D.The introduction to DeepSeek-R1.

江西中考真题练
(2024·江西·中考真题)In October 2018, someone in South Carolina won $1.5 billion. The nearly impossible odds (概率) of winning were 1 in 302.5 million! Many people probably wish they’d been the lucky ones happily accepting the prize.
It’s not hard to imagine the things one could do with this newfound wealth, but would this money actually make someone happy? The experiences of several lottery (抽奖) winners show that it probably wouldn’t. Suddenly coming into big money can change a person’s life in unexpected and sometimes unpleasant ways. Take William Post, for example, who had only $2.46 in the bank when he won $16.2 million in a New York lottery in 1998. Within 3 months, he was poor again because of careless spending. He wasn’t as happy as he felt before winning the prize.
Then there was Callie Rogers, a British teenager from a common family, won $3 million in 2003. She bought her family and friends lavish gifts and bought herself expensive clothes. After six years, Callie lost all her money and realized that money didn’t make her happy. In fact, she became worried that people were friendly with her only to get her money.
Lottery winners are not the only ones who can end up unhappy. People who get big money for some other reasons, e.g. receiving money from others, are also at risk. They may not know how to deal with money and do not ask experts for advice. They waste money on things they don’t need and give away too much money to friends and relatives.
Researchers found that people are happy when they are able to pay for their basic needs, such as food, clothes, a safe place to live, and health care. People are also happy when they give reasonable (合理的) amounts of money to charities. Giving makes them feel as if they’re making a difference. Lavish things, such as expensive clothes and cars, only make people happy for a moment.
People can hope and wish to suddenly come into lots of money to improve their lives, but perhaps there are better ways to find happiness.
1.How does the writer support his opinion in Paragraph 2?
A.By giving an example. B.By listing numbers.
C.By telling the differences. D.By asking a question.
2.What did William and Callie have in common according to the passage?
A.They came from the same country.
B.They won the lotteries in the same year.
C.They were poor before winning the lotteries.

3.What does the underlined word “lavish” in Paragraph 3 mean?
A.Expensive. B.Funny. C.Surprising. D.Lucky.

A.Big money brings lasting happiness.
B.People’s lives depend on lottery prizes.
C.Reasonable spending makes people happy.
D.The basic needs of people are easily satisfied.

A.To encourage readers to make big money.

The Maori arrived in New Zealand from Polynesian (波利尼西亚) islands about a thousand years ago. They were the first people to live in New Zealand.
In the late 18th century, Europeans came to live in New Zealand. At that time, the population of the Maori was maybe 250,000 in New Zealand. Over the next one hundred years, wars and disease killed many Maori people. By the end of the 19th century, there were only about 40,000 Maori people left. During this time, the Maori also lost much of their land to the Europeans. Many of them were afraid that they might lose their traditions and language too, but this did not happen.
Today the Maori population is increasing. There are about 500,000 Maori people in New Zealand. Most live like other New Zealanders, but they are keeping the Maori language and traditions alive. There are now Maori radio and television stations. Many schools teach in the Maori language. Nearly one half of Maori language speakers are 25 years old or younger.
Maori culture is also alive and well. At the center of Maori culture is the “marae”. This is a special place for ceremonies and meetings. Today the number of marae in New Zealand is increasing. Many of the new marae are in the cities. Now people in the cities can meet and learn about their Maori traditions.
Today most New Zealand cities have Maori festivals each year. Among festival activities are competitions in speaking, dancing and singing. Children practice for months. Then all the Maori in the area arrive to watch the competitions and see who wins.
The Maori have gone through hard times. Today they live a comfortable, modern life. They keep their cultural traditions alive, because they have passed and are passing them on to their children.

(2025·江西·模拟预测)People throw trash into the ocean and the trash has become the “home” of hermit crabs (寄居蟹). Believe it or not, it is happening all over the world. Unlike other crabs, hermit crabs are born with soft bodies, so they need to look for shells for protection. They look at the shells’ type, size, and color. Then, they use their legs to check the inside of the shells to make sure they fit. As they grow, they give up their old shells and find bigger ones to live in. Plastic trash is lighter than natural shells, so hermit crabs can move around easily in them. It may also help male hermit crabs to attract mates because man-made “shells” might be interesting to female hermit crabs.
However, “trash shells” can bring danger. Compared to natural shells, plastic waste is often brighter in color. It might stand out more against the background, making it easier for predators (捕食者) to see. Hermit crabs could also get stuck and die when they go into plastic bottles.

(2025·江西·模拟预测)Have you ever thought about what goes into making a cartoon? Or maybe there is a famous cartoon from another country you like to watch in Chinese? But how do you change the language to Chinese? This is something called dubbing. Dubbing means adding sounds or words in a new language to a movie, radio or TV shows. Dubbing is usually done to make it easier for people in another country to understand a movie or a show.
For me, I’ve had experience dubbing TV shows and cartoons from Chinese into English. I’ve done dubbing for many kinds of shows, such as love stories, kung fu movies and documentaries. My favorite ones to dub, though, are cartoons, because with cartoons I can use many different kinds of voices, such as high ones for good guys and low ones for bad guys.
Two of my favorite cartoons that I’ve dubbed were called A Hundred Birds Paying Homage to the Phoenir and The Foolish Old Man Who Removes the Mountains. In the first cartoon, I got to play a silly and overly (过度地) proud but well-meaning black bird. In the second cartoon, I played both the main hero named Qingfeng and the main bad guy named Mountain Spirit Zheng. The hardest part was reading the written words and acting out the voice while matching the actions at the same time. Still, it was really fun voicing all of these different characters!
If you enjoy making different voices, then I highly suggest that you try dubbing at least once.

(24-25九年级下·江西宜春·期中)Do you love to live in a big house or a small one? “Tiny homes”—houses that are around 40 or fewer square meters—have become more popular in recent years, with 53% of Americans saying they would consider buying one. Tiny homes are found all over the world, but they’re the most popular in the US, where there are over 10,000.
Pre-built (预先建好的) tiny houses are available, though many people choose to build their own. Inside, they often look like regular houses, but much smaller. There might be a small open kitchen and a living area, a bathroom and a bed that can be reached by a ladder (梯子). Most houses are built on trailers, making it easy for people to change the location. And this kind of tiny house is very popular in the US.
One big advantage of a tiny house is cost. According to a study, in 2018 the average cost of an 8.5-meter-long tiny home was$65,000, while a normal home in the US cost an average of $272, 000. Some people also like tiny homes because they are good for the environment. They need less energy to heat, and they often use sun’s energy, or are built using green and local materials. Some people choose to live in a tiny house because they want a smaller home after they retire (退休) or because they’re trying to cut down their cost of living. For many, though, they just can’t afford anything bigger.
Carwyn Lloyd Jones, who teaches a course on building tiny homes in the UK, thought that these types of houses seem to become popular to young people. “It’s because they want to have that space to live in, but they are not necessarily able to afford the land to build a full-size house,” he said.
1.In what way does the writer tell us how popular tiny houses are in recent years?
A.By using numbers. B.By giving examples.
C.By writing about his own experiences. D.By comparing the different types of houses.
2.What can’t be found in a tiny house?
A.A bed. B.A kitchen. C.A bathroom. D.A swimming pool.
3.What does the underlined word “trailers” in Paragraph 2 mean?
A.Countries. B.Floors. C.Rooms. D.Trucks.
4.What’s the advantage of a tiny house?
A.It costs too much money. B.People usually sell it after they retire.
C.It is harmful to the environment. D.Some people are able to afford to build it.
5.What would be the best title for the passage?
A.How do Americans Protect the Environment? B.Why do People Choose to Live in Tiny Homes?
C.How do People Save Money to Build a House? D.What will Young People’s Life Be Like in the US?
【答案】1.A 2.D 3.D 4.D 5.B

(2025·江苏泰州·一模)①The Chinese language differs from Western languages in that, instead of an alphabet (字母表), it uses characters (文字) which stand for ideas, objects or deeds. Chinese words are formed by putting together different characters. In many cases, a single character can also make up a word. As one kind of the most ancient characters, Chinese characters have played an important role in the development of Chinese culture.
②Chinese writing began thousands of years ago. According to an ancient story, a man named Cang Jie invented Chinese writing. One winter day while he was hunting, he saw the footprints of animals in the snow and noticed that the appearance of each one was different. Then he had the idea that he could use different shapes to represent different objects. The first Chinese characters were drawings of physical objects. Some characters have been simplified (简化) and others have been made more difficult over time.
③Not all characters were developed from drawings of objects. However, as a whole, the characters have developed from drawings into standard forms. The character for a mountain was at first three mountaintops together. This became one mountaintop and three lines, and over time turned into the character used nowadays.
④Sometimes to express ideas, some characters were made by combining two or more characters together. For example, “休” was made up of the characters for a man and a tree. The character “囚” was formed with a “man” inside a square. Other characters were developed for directions and numbers. It is easy to distinguish (区别) their meanings by looking at them, for example, the characters for “up” and “down”, which are opposites of each other.
⑤Though these kinds of characters indicate (表明) meanings, one of their shortcomings is that they do not show how they should be pronounced. Therefore, a method was developed to have one part of a character represent the meaning and the other suggest the pronunciation. Many Chinese characters used today were made this way.
⑥In the 1950s, the Chinese government introduced simplified Chinese characters in the hope to make learning to read and write more understandable to the general population, which would increase literacy (读写能力) across the country. And now they have widespread use in China.
1.The earliest Chinese characters were mainly based on ________.
A.animal sounds B.simplified shapes C.drawings of objects D.Math symbols
2.The writer introduces the Chinese characters by ________ in Paragraph 4.
A.giving examples B.providing causes C.expressing opinions D.comparing facts
3.Which Chinese character used the method of the underlined sentence?
A.亦 B.竹 C.明 D.桐
4.What can we learn from the passage?
A.Chinese characters have turned into standard forms, all of which are easier than before.
B.Chinese characters we use today have been accepted by large numbers of people.
C.Chinese characters existed at the very beginning and remain today like other ancient symbols.
D.Chinese words and English words are both formed by putting alphabets and characters together.
5.In which part of a newspaper can we probably find the passage?
A.Entertainment. B.Culture. C.Nature. D.Review.

(2025·江西九江·二模)Do you wear glasses? If yes, would you like to have surgery (手术) so you don’t need to wear them anymore? Many believe that surgery can fix the problem forever, but that’s not always the case.
Most people wear glasses because of nearsightedness (近视). When we see things, light comes into our eyes and focuses on the retina (视网膜). But for people with nearsightedness, in their eyes, light focuses in front of the retina. This makes things far away seem blurry but close things seem clear.
Surgery can treat this. Xu Jiayi, a 19-year-old student from Beijing, had the surgery five months ago during the winter vacation. “After the surgery, I can see very clearly. Life is more convenient without having to wear eyeglasses,” said Xu.
However, the process is not as easy as you might think. Xu said that her eyes hurt badly right after the surgery. Also, she needed to use medicine for at least three months. “At first, there were four types of medicines, then the number became six,” she said. These medicines help the eye heal (康复) and prevent eye problems.
Moreover, if you don’t look after your eye health well, nearsightedness may return even after surgery. “Because I use my eyes too much both at work and at home, things have started to look blurry to me again,” said Du Anni, 32, who had the surgery nine years ago.
Instead of fixing nearsightedness, “the surgery just lets you ‘take off your glasses’,” said Wei Wenbin from the Beijing Tongren Hospital in a speech in July. He said that the surgery doesn’t fix the changes in the eye’s structure.
1.How does the writer introduce the topic in the first paragraph?
A.By giving the example. B.By making the comparison.
C.By asking questions. D.By telling the stories.
2.Why do people with nearsightedness can’t see things clearly far away?
A.Because the light can’t get into the eyes.
B.Because the light focuses in front of the retina.
C.Because the light doesn’t focus on the retina.
D.Because the light focuses at the back of the retina.
3.What happens to Xu Jiayi after the surgery?
A.Her eyes don’t hurt any more after the surgery.
B.She has to use four kinds of medicine for two months.
C.Her eyes’ structure has changed a lot after the surgery.
D.Her life becomes convenient without wearing eyeglasses.
4.What can we learn from the last two paragraphs?
A.Nearsightedness may return if we don’t take care of our eyes.
B.The surgery can fix the changes in the eye’s structure completely.
C.As long as you have the right surgery, nearsightedness won’t come back.
D.The surgery just lets you take off glasses but you still can’t see things clearly.
5.What would be the best title for this passage?
A.Surgery Does Harm to Eyes. B.Are Eyesight Problems Solved?
C.Medicines Heal Nearsightedness. D.Nearsightedness Is Common for Teenagers.
【答案】1.C 2.B 3.D 4.A 5.B

(2025·江西九江·二模)A lot of people take up dancing as a hobby after school. In fact, dancing has been considered one of the best exercises to fight bad feelings in recent years. Why?
Dancing, which involves (包含) moving the body to different kinds of music, helps our bodies produce much endorphin (内啡肽), a chemical (化学物质) that makes us feel relaxed and happy.
While simply listening to music or doing sports can cheer us up, mixing them together gives better results. In a study, a group of German scientists tested some patients under three conditions: a group dancing with music, a group just listening to music, and a group riding bikes without music. The results showed that the first group were the least depressed.
Dancing can bring people together, too. Tango, Latin or other social dancing require us to move with others, which can improve our sense of social bonding (联系), according to IBSA, a Swiss scientific foundation.
Dancing also helps people let go of bad feelings. Studies have found that depression often has to do with sadness about the past or worries about the future. However, dancing helps you focus on the present, connect with your body, and free your mind for a while, as reported by Psych Central, a mental health news website.
Studies showed that if people enjoy any kind of music, dancing can be a helpful way to reduce stress. Dancing can take any form, whether it’s moving around the house to a song or going out dancing with friends. The important part of movement (运动) is that it is fun. So, it isn’t any excuse for you not to give dancing a chance!
1.Why does dancing is the best exercise to fight bad feelings?
A.Because lots of people take up dancing as a hobby.
B.Because dancing involves different kinds of music.
C.Because dancing helps our bodies produce much endorphin.
D.Because dancing lovers are always more outgoing than others.
2.Which of the following is NOT the advantage of dancing?
A.It can cheer people up. B.It can bring people together.
C.It can help people forget all stress. D.It helps people let go of bad feelings.
3.What does the underlined word “depressed” in Paragraph 3 mean?
A.Sad. B.Excited. C.Confident. D.Healthy.
4.What can we infer from the last paragraph?
A.The more dancing songs you like, the happier you will be.
B.If someone enjoy the music, dancing can help him or her relaxed.
C.Everyone can reduce the stress through dancing, even though he or she doesn’t like the music.
D.It’s better for people to go out dancing with friends, instead of moving around the house to a song.

(2025·江西抚州·一模)。
For more than a month, the world has been very excited about a new AI model called DeepSeek-R1. The company behind it, also called DeepSeek, is a business based in Hangzhou, Zhejiang.
The new AI first appeared on January 20th. In just one week, it beat OpenAI’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 the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 2 refer to?
A.DeepSeek-R1. B.OpenAI. C.ChatGPT. D.App Store.
2.What is one of the strong points of DeepSeek-R1 compared to other AI models?
A.It’s cheaper to develop. B.It’s smarter than others.
C.It’s better at difficult activities. D.It’s quicker in solving problems.
3.How does DeepSeek-R1 learn?
A.In a traditional way. B.Through solving hard problems.
C.By finding the right way to do things independently.
D.By following all kinds of orders from its creators.
4.Why is it important that DeepSeek-R1 is open-source?
A.It makes AI safer. B.It creates new knowledge.
C.It makes AI cheaper. D.It makes the use of AI wider.
5.What is the theme of the passage?
A.The importance of open-source code. B.The challenges faced by DeepSeek-R1.
