七年级下学期英语阅读理解题型应对策略
一、细节理解题的应对策略
【题型特点】
细节理解题是英语阅读理解中的基础题型,主要考查学生对文章中具体信息的捕捉与分析能力,涉及内容广泛,如时间、地点、人物身份、事件经过、事物特征等。这类题目的答案通常能在原文中直接找到,部分题目需要通过简单的逻辑推理得出,要求学生仔细阅读文本,精准定位关键信息。
【解答策略】
1.关键词定位法:在阅读题干后,迅速圈出人名、地名、数字、年份、学科名称等具有显著特征的关键词,然后带着这些关键词回到原文,利用 “扫读” 技巧快速定位相关段落或句子,从而锁定答案范围。
2.同义替换识别:命题人常通过同义替换的方式设置题目,即用不同的词汇、短语或句式表达相同的含义。学生需要识别题干与原文之间的同义、近义表述,避免因表达方式差异而误判答案。
【策略分析】
[阅读语篇1]
Last summer vacation, Lucy went to Beijing with her family by train. They stayed in a nice hotel near Tiananmen Square. On the first day, they visited the Great Wall. It was amazing! The next day, they went to the Palace Museum and took many beautiful photos.
[阅读试题]How did Lucy go to Beijing?
A. By plane B. By bus C. By train
[答题策略]
题干中的关键词为 “Lucy”“go to Beijing”,通过扫读原文,可快速定位到 “Last summer vacation, Lucy went to Beijing with her family by train.” 一句,明确答案为 C。此过程运用关键词定位法,精准找到关键信息。同时,题目中 “go to Beijing” 与原文 “went to Beijing” 为时态不同的同义表达,体现了同义替换在题目设置中的应用 。
[阅读语篇2]
The panda is a lovely animal. It mainly lives in the forests of Sichuan, Shaanxi and Gansu in China. Pandas like to eat bamboo, and they spend most of their time eating and sleeping. An adult panda can weigh about 100 - 125 kilograms.
[阅读试题]Where do pandas mainly live?
A. In the deserts of Africa B. In the forests of China C. In the mountains of America
[答题策略]
利用题干关键词 “pandas”“live”,在原文中找到 “The panda is a lovely animal. It mainly lives in the forests of Sichuan, Shaanxi and Gansu in China.”,可知答案为 B。这里通过关键词定位迅速锁定信息,并且 “live” 与 “lives” 以及 “in the forests of China” 和原文表述一致,直接对应答案。同时,其他选项中 “deserts of Africa”“mountains of America” 与原文形成干扰,需要学生依靠准确的信息定位来排除。
[阅读语篇3]
In my opinion, reading books is very important. First, it can improve our knowledge. For example, by reading science books, we can learn about the universe and new technologies. Second, reading helps us relax. After a long day of study, reading a funny storybook can make us feel better.
[阅读试题]How can reading science books help us?
A. Learn about the universe B. Make more friends C. Keep healthy
[答题策略]
根据题干关键词 “reading science books”,在文中找到 “For example, by reading science books, we can learn about the universe and new technologies.”,得出答案为 A。此过程依赖关键词快速定位到具体论据,而题目中的 “help us” 对应原文 “we can”,“learn about the universe” 直接取自原文,是典型的通过同义表述呈现答案的细节理解题 。
二、词义猜测题的应对策略
【题型特点】
词义猜测题是英语阅读理解中的常见题型,旨在考查学生根据语境推断生词、短语或句子含义的能力。题目中的 “生词” 既可能是学生尚未接触过的全新词汇,也可能是学过词汇的特殊用法(如熟词生义)。解答此类题目不能依赖词典,需通过分析上下文逻辑关系或词汇构成来推测词义。
【解答策略】
1.上下文线索法:生词所在句子的前后文通常会提供解释、举例、对比、因果等线索。例如,通过同位语、定语从句、标点符号(如破折号、括号)等对生词进行解释;或利用转折词(but, however)、因果连词(because, so)等逻辑关系推导词义。
2.词根词缀法:英语中许多单词由词根、前缀和后缀构成。掌握常见词根(如 “bio-” 表示生命,“graph-” 表示写)、前缀(如 “un-” 表示否定,“re-” 表示重复)、后缀(如 “-tion” 构成名词,“-ful” 构成形容词)的含义,可辅助推测单词的核心意义。
【策略分析】
[阅读语篇1]
Tom felt extremely fatigued after running the marathon. He could barely stand up and needed to lie down immediately.
[阅读试题]The underlined word “fatigued” probably means ______.
A. energetic B. tired C. excited
[答题策略]
通过上下文线索法,“after running the marathon”(跑完马拉松后)和 “could barely stand up”(几乎站不起来)构成因果关系,说明跑步导致身体出现疲惫反应,由此推测 “fatigued” 意为 “tired”(疲惫的),答案选 B。选项 A “energetic”(精力充沛的)和 C “excited”(兴奋的)与语境矛盾。
[阅读语篇2]
The phenomenon, that is, the unusual increase in sea levels, has become a global concern. Scientists are researching ways to solve this problem.
[阅读试题]What does the underlined word “phenomenon” mean?
A. 灾难 B. 现象 C. 政策
[答题策略]
破折号后的 “the unusual increase in sea levels”(海平面异常上升)是对 “phenomenon” 的具体解释,通过上下文线索法可知,此处描述的是一种客观存在的情况,即 “现象”,答案选 B。利用同位语作为线索,能直接锁定生词含义,排除 A、C 选项的干扰。
[阅读语篇3]
The misunderstandings between the two groups could have been avoided if they had communicated more clearly. Miscommunication often leads to conflicts.
[阅读试题]The word “miscommunication” probably refers to ______.
A. effective communication B. lack of communication C. wrong communication
[答题策略]
运用词根词缀法,“mis-” 作为前缀表示 “错误、否定”,“communication” 意为 “交流”,由此可推测 “miscommunication” 表示 “错误的交流”,答案选 C。选项 A “effective communication”(有效交流)和 B “lack of communication”(缺乏交流)与词根词缀推导的含义不符。
[阅读语篇4]
Unlike his talkative brother, Mark is rather reticent. He seldom speaks in public and prefers to listen.
[阅读试题]The underlined word “reticent” means ______ in Chinese.
A. 健谈的 B. 沉默寡言的 C. 外向的
[答题策略]
通过上下文线索法,“Unlike his talkative brother”(与他健谈的哥哥不同)建立了对比关系,说明 Mark 的性格与 “talkative”(健谈的)相反,结合 “He seldom speaks in public”(他很少在公共场合说话),可推测 “reticent” 意为 “沉默寡言的”,答案选 B。利用对比词 “Unlike” 和后续行为描述,能快速推断生词含义。
三、主旨大意题的应对策略
【题型特点】
主旨大意题是英语阅读理解中的核心题型,重点考查学生对文章整体内容的宏观把握与概括能力。此类题目不局限于某个细节,而是要求学生提炼文章的核心观点、主题或中心思想。常见提问方式除了 “What’s the main idea of the passage?”“The passage is mainly about...”,还有 “The passage mainly tells us...”“The best title for this passage could be...” 等。答案通常具有高度概括性,需涵盖文章主要内容,避免以偏概全。
【解答策略】
1.首尾段分析法:英语文章常遵循 “总 - 分” 或 “分 - 总” 结构,主旨句多位于首段或尾段。首段一般起到开篇点题、引出话题的作用;尾段则用于总结全文、升华主题。阅读时需重点关注首尾段的核心句、观点句或总结句。
2.高频词提炼法:文章中反复出现的关键词往往与主旨紧密相关。通过统计高频词,可快速锁定文章核心话题,帮助判断主旨。同时,注意一些同义词或近义词的替换使用,它们也可能围绕同一主题展开。
结构梳理法:对于结构复杂的文章,可通过梳理段落大意,分析各段落与文章整体的关系,从而归纳出主旨。例如,分析每个段落是如何支撑或论证核心观点的。
【策略分析】
[阅读语篇1]
首段:Last weekend, I had an unforgettable experience at the community volunteer activity. It not only taught me new skills but also made me realize the value of helping others.
中间段:I helped the elderly clean their houses, taught children how to draw, and organized a small donation drive. Seeing the smiles on their faces, I felt a strong sense of satisfaction. Everyone worked together, and the whole community seemed to come alive.
尾段:This volunteer activity was more than just a weekend task. It made me understand that even small acts of kindness can bring warmth and change to people’s lives. I’m looking forward to joining more such activities in the future.
[阅读试题]What’s the main idea of the passage?
A. The writer’s weekend plan B. How to organize a volunteer activity C. The writer’s meaningful volunteer experience
[答题策略]
运用首尾段分析法,首段点明 “unforgettable experience at the community volunteer activity”(难忘的社区志愿活动经历),尾段总结活动的意义,即 “small acts of kindness can bring warmth and change”(小善举能带来温暖与改变)。同时,高频词提炼法也表明 “volunteer activity”“experience” 在文中反复出现。综合判断,答案选 C。选项 A 仅提及周末计划,过于宽泛;选项 B 侧重于活动组织方法,偏离文章重点。
[阅读语篇2]
The Internet has become an essential part of modern life. It connects people around the world, allowing us to communicate, study, and work more efficiently. Through social media platforms, we can share our lives with friends and family instantly. In education, online courses provide endless learning resources. For businesses, e-commerce has revolutionized the way of trading. However, the Internet also brings challenges, such as information security and addiction. We need to use it wisely to enjoy its benefits while avoiding potential risks.
[阅读试题]The passage is mainly about ______.
A. the history of the Internet B. the advantages and disadvantages of the Internet C. how to use the Internet safely
[答题策略]
首段指出 “The Internet has become an essential part of modern life”(互联网已成为现代生活的重要部分),引出主题。随后分别阐述互联网在沟通、教育、商业等方面的优势,以及信息安全和成瘾等问题,体现了其利弊。高频词 “Internet” 贯穿全文,且 “advantages”“disadvantages” 相关表述多次出现。因此,答案选 B。选项 A 文章未涉及互联网历史;选项 C 仅强调安全使用,无法涵盖文章全貌。
[阅读语篇3]
Some people think that playing video games is a waste of time. They believe it can make students lose focus on their studies and harm their physical health. However, video games also have positive aspects. They can improve players’ reaction speed, problem-solving ability, and even teamwork skills in multiplayer games. Moreover, after a long day of study or work, games can serve as a great way to relax. In my opinion, the key is not to ban video games completely but to find a balance between playing and other activities. We should use games as a tool for entertainment and learning, rather than letting them control our lives.
[阅读试题]The best title for this passage could be ______.
A. The Bad Effects of Video Games B. The Good Sides of Video Games C. The Proper Attitude towards Video Games
[答题策略]
文章先列举部分人对游戏的负面看法,再阐述游戏的积极作用,最后在尾段总结观点 “the key is not to ban video games completely but to find a balance”(关键是找到平衡,而非完全禁止),点明对待游戏应持有的正确态度。通过结构梳理法可知,前文正反论述均为尾段观点服务。高频词 “video games” 和 “balance”“proper attitude” 相关含义反复出现。所以,答案选 C。选项 A、B 分别只涉及文章部分内容,属于以偏概全。
四、推理判断题的应对策略
【题型特点】
推理判断题是英语阅读理解中较具挑战性的题型,其答案不会直接在文中呈现,需要学生基于文章提供的事实、细节和逻辑关系,进行合理的分析、归纳与推断,从而得出隐含的结论。这类题目常考查学生对作者意图、人物情感态度、事件发展趋势等深层信息的理解能力,常见提问方式有 “We can infer from the passage that...”“What can we learn from the story?”“The author implies that...” 等。
【解答策略】
1.依据原文推理:所有推理必须紧密围绕文章内容,以文中明确表述的事实、细节为依据,避免脱离文本进行过度推断或加入个人主观想法。
2.逻辑关系分析:仔细分析文章中的因果关系、对比关系、转折关系、递进关系等逻辑线索,通过这些关系推导隐含信息。例如,根据因果关系由 “因” 推 “果”,或通过对比关系判断事物的差异与特点。
3.情感态度判断:关注文中描述性词汇、人物对话和行为细节,以此推断作者或文中人物的情感态度。
4.整合信息:对于复杂的推理题,需整合多个段落或句子的信息,综合分析得出结论。
【策略分析】
[阅读语篇1]
Lily had always been afraid of public speaking. When her teacher announced a speech competition, her hands started to shake and her face turned pale. But Lily didn't want to miss this chance to overcome her fear. She spent hours every day practicing in front of the mirror, writing and rewriting her speech, and even asking her friends for feedback. On the day of the competition, although she was still nervous, she walked onto the stage with her head held high.
[阅读试题]We can infer from the passage that ______.
A. Lily gave up the speech competition
B. Lily would perform well in the competition
C. Lily was not prepared for the competition
[答题策略]
依据原文推理,文中提到 Lily 虽害怕但 “didn't want to miss this chance to overcome her fear”,且 “spent hours every day practicing”“asking her friends for feedback”,通过这些行为细节可知她为比赛做了充分准备;再结合 “walked onto the stage with her head held high” 展现出的自信姿态,利用逻辑分析可推断出她在比赛中可能会有良好表现,答案选 B。选项 A 与原文中她积极准备的行为相悖;选项 C 与她大量练习的事实不符。
[阅读语篇2]
Solar energy is a clean and renewable resource. It doesn't produce any pollution and can be used continuously as long as there is sunlight. In contrast, coal and oil are non-renewable resources. Once they are used up, they cannot be replenished. Moreover, burning coal and oil releases a large amount of carbon dioxide, which causes serious environmental problems like global warming.
[阅读试题]What can we infer from the passage?
A. Solar energy will replace all other energy sources in the future
B. Coal and oil are more expensive than solar energy
C. Solar energy is more environmentally friendly than coal and oil
[答题策略]
通过逻辑分析,文中将太阳能与煤炭、石油进行对比,指出太阳能 “clean and renewable”“doesn't produce any pollution”,而煤炭和石油 “non-renewable” 且燃烧会造成 “serious environmental problems” 。依据这些对比信息可合理推断出太阳能比煤炭、石油更环保,答案选 C。选项 A 中 “replace all other energy sources” 属于过度推断;选项 B 中关于价格的比较在文中未提及。
[阅读语篇3]
Many people think that students should only focus on their studies. However, I believe that extracurricular activities are equally important. Participating in sports can improve physical health and teamwork skills. Joining clubs like the art club or debate club helps students develop creativity and communication abilities. These skills are not only useful in school but also in future careers.
[阅读试题]The author implies that ______.
A. students should spend more time on extracurricular activities than on study
B. extracurricular activities are beneficial for students' overall development

March 22 is World Water Day. People think water is the source of all life. Water has been part of Chinese culture for thousands of years. It affects not only the start of Chinese civilization but also many smart ideas in Chinese philosophy.
Chinese civilization is one of the ancient river civilizations in the world. It started thousands of years ago along the Yellow and Yangtze rivers. So, Chinese culture has been related to water from the very beginning.
But the relationship between people and water has two sides. Water is very important for life and for growing things. But if we can’t manage it well, it can bring big problems. Knowing how powerful water is, Chinese people have always tried to use it in the best way. For example, Yu, the first ruler of the Xia Dynasty in stories, controlled floods. He changed and dug the waterways so that the water could flow into the sea easily. The Dujiangyan irrigation (灌溉) system in Sichuan was built cleverly. It made full use of the natural features of the place without hurting the environment.
Water also has philosophical meanings in China. These meanings are used to teach people and help rule the country. According to Xunzi (《荀子》), Confucius often thought about water. He believed water had good qualities like fairness and courage. He once said, “Wise people like water; kind people like mountains (智者乐水,仁者乐山)..” So, Confucianism tells people to learn from water and develop their sense of right and wrong. Inspired by water, Laozi came up with the ideas of “using softness to beat hardness (以柔克刚)” and “doing nothing against nature”. These ideas later kept inspiring rulers to follow the laws of nature and respect what people want. Ancient Chinese philosopher Xunzi compared a ruler and his people to a boat and water. He said, “Water can carry a boat, but it can also turn the boat over.”
Water is everywhere in our daily life. It is a very important part of Chinese culture. It helps build Chinese civilization.
1.What can we know from the idea of “using softness to beat hardness”?
A.Water is weak and useless.
B.Strength should be used against nature.
C.Hardness is better than softness.
D.Gentleness can be powerful in certain situations.
2.Why is water considered important in shaping Chinese civilization?
A.It is vital for the agricultural sector.
B.It served as inspiration for art and literature.
C.It influenced both the origin of the civilization and wisdom in philosophy.
D.It played a role in China’s technological advancements.
3.What is the author’s attitude towards ancient Chinese water management?
A.Critical. B.Praising. C.Doubtful. D.Uninterested.
4.What is the main idea of the article?
A.How to celebrate World Water Day in China.
B.The history of the Yellow and Yangtze rivers.
C.The role of water in Chinese civilization and philosophy.
D.Water management in China has evolved significantly since ancient times.

A Meaningful School Trip
Last autumn, our class took a memorable trip to the City History Museum. At first, I thought it would be terrible—who enjoys dusty exhibits? But what happened next changed my mind.
We explored ancient tools in Hall A.Ms. Lane, our guide, taught us how people created pottery 3,000 years ago. My friend Jake recorded her explanations on his phone. Suddenly, we realized the microphone wasn’t working! Ms. Lane’s voice filled the silent room like a storyteller’s.
The best part came in Hall B.We agreed to join a workshop. Using clay, we created mini artworks while rain filled the streets outside. I made a crooked vase but laughed harder than ever.
At lunch, we shared stories under umbrellas. Jake played his recordings—Ms. Lane’s voice mixed with our giggles. “This is better than any history video!” he said.

Going green seems to be a fashion for a lot of people these days, but for the two of us, going green is not a fashion but a lifestyle.
On April 22, 2019, we started our plan to go green every day for a year. This meant doing 365 different green things. For example, we reused water and cut down the use of our energy. Also, we had to think of something different to do and this was not easy.
With the idea of going green every single day for a year, Our Green Year started. My wife and I taught people how they could go green in their lives. We hoped we could show people all the green things that we could do to make the environment better. We wanted to push the idea that every little bit helps it a lot.
During Our Green Year, we completely changed our lifestyles. We now shop at organic (有机的) stores. We eat less meat, choosing green food. We greatly cut down our buying. We give away half of what we have on the Internet. We clean our home with vinegar (醋) and lemon juice instead of chemical cleaners. We make our own butter, enjoying the smell of home-made bread. In our home office, anyone doing something ungreen may be punished (惩罚).
We changed a lot during Our Green Year. We are thankful for the chance to be able to go green and teach others. We believe that we do have the power to change things and help our planet.

① Talking to yourself might seem strange if someone notices. But don’t feel bad about it. It’s actually very helpful to you.
② Talking out loud helps your brain work better. It can improve your performance in studying, doing sports, and solving problems. Researchers (研究者) studied 72 tennis players. They divided them into two groups. One group stayed silent (沉默) while playing, and the other talked to themselves. The group who talked to themselves felt more confident and performed better.
③ If you’re feeling sad or angry, talking to yourself can help. Using your name, like saying, “Tom, you can deal with this,” allows you to think calmly (冷静地) and see things in a different way. For example, before an exam, you can say, “I’m ready for this!” This kind of self-talk makes you feel stronger. It’s like giving yourself a pep talk to face challenges.
④ Self-talk also helps improve memory. Researchers tested four different ways to memorize things: reading silently, reading aloud, listening to someone else reading, and listening to a recording of oneself reading. They found that reading out loud helps you remember things best. Speaking the words makes the information (信息) stay in your brain longer.
⑤ So, don’t feel shy. Talking to yourself is a great way to improve your mood, memory, and confidence. It’s like having a conversation with your best friend—yourself! Next time you need to study, play a sport, or solve a problem, try talking to yourself. You might be surprised by how much it helps. It’s not strange—it’s a smart way to make your brain more active!
13.What did researchers find about tennis players who talked to themselves?
A.They played worse than silent players.
B.They felt more confident and performed better.
C.They became tired more quickly.
D.They forgot their game strategies.
14.How can talking to yourself help when you’re unhappy?
A.It helps you think calmly and see things differently.
B.It makes you forget your problems quickly.
C.It makes other people give you more care and support.
D.It makes you speak in a louder and calmer voice.
15.What does the underlined phrase “a pep talk” in paragraph 3 mean?
A.A friendly greeting. B.An encouraging speech.
C.A funny joke. D.A long lesson.
16.What is the best way to remember information according to the passage?
A.Reading silently. B.Listening to someone else read.
C.Reading out loud. D.Listening to a recording of yourself.
17.What is the structure of the passage?

West Town Bike is a group that organizes local bike clubs for teenagers. It is based in Chicago. Teens at West Town Bike say that they enjoy biking, but biking in this city sometimes seems dangerous. Recently, these students have suggested a lot of solutions in order to make roads safer for bikers.
David Harb, a senior at Lane Tech High School, has learned hand signals from his father since he was 6. These simple movements tell drivers if a biker plans to turn or stop. “They’re like a secret language between riders and drivers.” David explained. Now riding to school daily, he strongly believes this skill should be taught in classrooms. “Why not start bike safety clubs?” he suggested. “Schools could have weekly classes showing students proper hand signals. No need for building new roads-just use your arms to stay safe.”
Christopher Garcia, a student from Lake View High School, has another idea. He thinks that the government should set up bike safety zones near busy crossroads. These zones could include clear markings and signs to guide bikers and warn drivers. “Drivers know they should slow down or stop when they see these signs.” Christopher explained. He even presented his design as an example. “If we add flashing lights and clear ‘Bike Zone’ signs at this busy crossroads near the school, students will pass through this area more safely.”
Jane Perez, a night rider from Lincoln High School, agrees it’s important for bikers to be noticed by drivers. Though her bike has three bright LED lights, many streets are still too dark and unsafe, “Many roads don’t have proper lighting.” she said. “We should add more bike-friendly streetlights, which can help drivers notice us from far away. This would be an efficient way to prevent accidents.”
21.According to David, who should teach hand signals to teenagers?
A.Family members. B.Police officers.
C.Local bike clubs. D.Schools and teachers.
22.What does Christopher suggest to make biking safer?
A.Improving lighting in dark areas. B.Building more new roads for students.
C.Creating a safe area to protect the bikers. D.Helping drivers know if bikers want to turn.
23.What do all the students’ suggestions have in common?
A.They mainly focus on biking at night.
B.They need support from the government.
C.They think schools should take action immediately.
D.They include ways to help drivers notice the bikers.
24.What is the main purpose of the passage?
A.To encourage students to bike to school.
B.To attract teenagers to join West Town Bike.
C.To explain why biking in Chicago is dangerous.
D.To introduce students’ ideas on improving bike safety.
25.Where can we probably find this article?
A.Modern Art. B.Local News Daily.
C.Business Weekly. D.Global Travel Guide.

Why do the leaves on trees have different colors? What makes them change their colors?
Leaves use sunlight, water and air to make food for the trees. This way of making food is called photosynthesis (光合作用). Photosynthesis is important to animals as well as plants. Some animals eat plants. Other animals eat these animals.
Summer is playtime. For the leaves of many trees, however, it’s work, work, work! The sun is shining. The leaves are making food for the trees. The trees keep more than enough food deep inside. Leaves are green in summer because they are making food. Leaves also have orange, yellow, or brown colors inside them. During summer, those colors are covered by the green color.
Many places get colder in autumn with shorter days and longer nights. Trees get less sunlight, so photosynthesis slows down. Over time, leaves stop making the green chemical (化学物质). The orange, yellow, and brown colors grow when that happens.
Once it gets cold enough and ice appears at night, the trees drop their leaves. They do this to keep themselves safe. If the leaves are icy while still on the trees, the trees can be hurt. Trees that drop their leaves are bare (光秃秃) in winter. They use the food they save in summer to get through the cold days and nights.
Spring comes before long. Ice and snow disappear and the rains come. The sun shines, and tiny leaves grow from branches. Once again , the leaves use sunlight, water and air to make food. The cycle begins again.

In 2004, 20-year-old Wu Xiong became the headteacher of Tangfang Primary School in Bailing Town, Xingren City, Guizhou. At that time, the school had only an old house, 3 teachers and 75 students. Even worse, many children there showed little interest in going to school. To solve this problem, Wu turned to sports.
In 2006, the school organized its first sports meeting. “We made a simple ping-pong table for a competition,” Wu said. Over time, badminton, long-distance running and other events appeared in the sports meeting, making it more popular with the students.

Does happiness matter? People have different opinions. Some think there are more important things to worry about, while others believe happiness is what everyone wants in life. To understand this, we first need to understand what happiness really means.
Happiness is about our feelings, but it’s more than just a short moment of smiles or laughter. Instead, happiness is how we feel about our lives overall. Every day, we feel many different emotions. For example, feelings like fear and anger help protect us from danger, while happy feelings like joy and hope help us make friends and solve problems. Being happy doesn’t mean we should never feel sad or angry. Everyone has difficult times, and it’s normal (正常的) to have these feelings. True happiness means enjoying good times while also learning to deal with hard times.
Research shows happiness plays an important role in success. Some might think happy people are less hardworking, but research shows the opposite is true. They actually perform (表现) better in their jobs, maintain better health, and build stronger relationships. In one study at Warwick University, scientists put participants (参与者) into two groups. The first group watched a happy, funny video while the second group watched a normal video. After watching, both groups did the same office task. The results showed that the first group did their tasks 11% better than the second one.
Other researchers have found similar results. For example, business researchers studied companies for many years and found that companies with happier workers always did better in the market. Also, when scientists followed young people for many years, they saw that those who were happier in childhood usually were more successful when they grew up than those who were less happy. One of the reasons is that happiness can wake up the control center in children’s brains, to help weigh options more clearly, like choosing “study first, play later” instead of wasting time. In other words, happiness may lead to success, not just come from it.
Of course, happiness doesn’t solve all problems. Happy people still have difficulties, and not all happy people are successful. But happiness does make life better in many ways. In the end, happiness is more than just a feeling. It helps us succeed, makes society stronger, and gives life its real meaning.
36.What is the main idea of Paragraph 2?
A.Happiness is not only a moment of joy. B.What the true meaning of happiness is.
C.It is natural to have different feelings. D.Happiness is about people’s feelings.
37.What does the expression “the opposite is true” in Paragraph 3 mean?
A.Happiness is good for relationships. B.Hard work makes people successful.

Dragons have long held the imagination of both Chinese and Western cultures, but they have very different looks and meanings that set them apart.
In Chinese culture, the dragon, named “Long”, holds a special place. It has a special appearance, looking like a huge, long snake combined with various animal parts. For example, it has the tail of a fish, which helps it swim gracefully in water. The scales (鳞) of a fish cover its body, giving it a shiny and protective surface. Its long neck is similar to that of a snake, allowing for flexible movement. Chinese dragons are often wingless, but they have the magical ability to rocket up and fly through the sky.
They stand for many positive qualities. In the past, they are the symbols (象征) of power. Emperors and kings were considered as sons of dragons, showing their noble (尊贵的) position. Also, Chinese farmers, who depended on good weather for their crops, used to offer sacrifices (祭祀品) like sheep to dragon gods. They hoped that the dragons would bring favorable weather, and thus good harvests. Moreover, dragons are believed to bring good fortune. You can often see dragon pictures on New Year decorations or at other traditional festivals like the Dragon Boat Festival.
In Western culture. dragons are very different. They are giant creatures that can breathe fire and destroy life. Their large bat-like wings carry them to the sky. Their bodies are covered in lizard-like scales, and their tails often have a sharp tip. Western dragons are usually related to evil. In medieval times (中世纪), they were seen as symbols of the devil, and the devil was even called “the great dragon”. Knights (骑士) would be celebrated as the bravest heroes when they killed dragons.
In a word, the dragons of Chinese and Western cultures reveal the large differences between these two worlds. While Chinese dragons are seen as symbols of strength, wisdom, and good fortune, the Western dragons are often described as wicked, fire-breathing beasts. Whether as a protector of the world or a fearsome enemy, the dragon remains a timeless and fascinating fictional creature, inviting us to explore the depths of our own culture and imagination.
45.Which of the following is NOT a feature of Chinese dragons described in the passage?
A.They have lizard-like scales. B.They have a long, flexible neck.
C.They can fly without wings. D.They have the tail of a fish.
46.Why did Chinese farmers offer sacrifices to dragon gods?

The first time I saw August Pullman, he was sitting alone at the back of Mr. Browne’s classroom, his face half-hidden behind a tower of textbooks. Most new kids would’ve been scanning the room for friends, but he was too busy taking notes. When Mr. Browne wrote “CHOOSE KIND” on the board, he circled the words twice like they were the answer to some secret question only he knew.
I didn’t sit with August that first day because I felt sorry for him. I sat with him because he was laughing at Mr. Browne’s lesson. Most kids were rolling their eyes, but August was actually writing things down—like he truly cared about “When given the choice between being right or being kind, choose kind.”
Later in the cafeteria, Julian kept asking those questions: “What happened to your face? Were you in a fire?” August handled it like an expert. He just said, “No, I was born this way. It’s called mandibulofacial dysostosis, if you really want to know.” Julian looked stupid then, because August knew more big words than he did.
What’s strange is how people treat me now that I’m friends with August. Some kids called me “Nice Summer” quietly like it’s an insult (侮辱). Others suddenly want to be my friend, asking all these fake-nice questions about him. The worst are the teachers—they give me these cheering looks, like I’m some kind of hero for eating lunch with him.
August doesn’t need my protection. Yesterday, some seventh-grader tripped him in the hallway. Before I could react, August got up and said, “Thanks for the floor examination. It looks clean.” The kid just walked away confused.
Sometimes I wonder why more people don’t see what I see: a funny kid who chews his pencils to death, who can name every planet’s moons, who remembers that I hate cream. Not “the kid with the face”. Just August.
But then I hear the whispers in the locker room, see the way kids suddenly change seats when he sits down…and I remember why this is so hard.
Walking home that afternoon, I remembered that Mom always says middle school is just practice for real life, but what’s the lesson here? That most people are too scared to sit next to someone different?
49.Why did Summer firstly sit with August?
A.She pitied his unusual appearance. B.She noticed his reaction to Mr. Browne’s lesson.
C.The teachers asked her to help him. D.She wanted to impress other students.
50.Summer finds others’ “Nice Summer” comments ________.
A.wise and encouraging B.hurtful but understandable
C.funny but insulting D.strange and annoying
51.August’s reaction to being tripped shows that he ________.
A.was afraid of a fight B.wanted to report bullies to teachers
C.relied on Summer for protection D.used humor wisely to solve problems
52.This passage mainly explores________.
A.the challenges August faces with his school work B.Summer’s development of true friendship
C.teachers’ unfair treatment of special needs students D.Julian’s bullying behavior and its results

We all have trouble, and often make mistakes. However, many of us find it hard to admit (承认) them to others. We believe that our trouble and mistakes show our weakness, and we are afraid to let others see us as not good enough.
The good news is that our worries about the negative evaluations (负面评价) from others may not be as serious as we imagine. A research suggested that we saw our act of showing weakness more negatively than others did, and researchers called this the “beautiful mess effect (效应)”. In other words, we may not be such a mess as we think.
This effect can stop us from sharing our true feelings and needs, which can be good for us. For example, studies show that sharing personal information about oneself may help build closeness and trust (信任), while saying sorry sincerely and admitting the mistakes you make could improve a fractured relationship.
So researchers wanted to know how we could get over the “beautiful mess effect”. Their new experiments suggest that being self-compassionate (自我同情) can be very helpful when we want to find beauty in our own weakness.
In the study, researchers invited 340 university students to take part in four experiments. In one of them, they asked students to imagine themselves admitting to their boss that they’d made a big mistake on a project. Then, students needed to evaluate this act: Did they see it as an act of showing one’s courage or weakness? Finally, researchers evaluated how self-compassionate the students were.
The study showed that lowly self-compassionate students evaluated their own act more negatively. However, highly self-compassionate students were not much influenced by the “beautiful mess effect”. In other words, self-compassion helps us evaluate our act of showing weakness more fairly (客观地).
Luckily, our level of self-compassion is not fixed and can be raised if we want to. If we are kind and caring towards ourselves, we can become more comfortable with showing our weakness. This practice, in turn, can improve our relationships.
53.What did the research find about the “beautiful mess effect”?
A.Our mistakes are as serious as we imagine.
B.The effect helps us share our true feelings.
C.Most people enjoy showing their weakness to others.
D.We see our own weakness more negatively than others do.
54.The underlined word “fractured” in paragraph 3 probably means “________”.
A.broken B.close C.strong D.hidden
55.What is paragraph 5 mainly about?
A.Why they did the study. B.Who were in the study.
C.How the researchers did the study. D.What findings the study found.
56.What is the writer’s main purpose in writing this passage?
A.To call on people to share their mistakes.
B.To encourage people to be self-compassionate.
C.To praise people who are brave to admit mistakes.
D.To discuss the disadvantage of “beautiful mess effect”.

Hi, I’m Fu Zai, a 6-month-old corgi (柯基). I’m China’s first corgi police dog! Some people think I can’t be a great police dog because of my short legs. But I’m here to tell you that they are wrong!
One day, when I was 2 months old, I was playing with my owner in the park. A policeman saw me and thought I had the talent to be a police dog. Then, I started my training. My short legs make me stand out! I can go under cars or get into and search small spaces easily. Bigger dogs can’t do this but I can! My only problem is that I can’t run very fast. When we are outside doing our job, sometimes my trainer needs to give me a piggyback (背上的) ride. It’s one of my favorite parts of the job.
Becoming a police dog is not easy. Dogs need to take lots of classes and exams.
Step 1: Go to a puppy kindergarten
·Puppies in the. kindergarten should be younger than 6 months old.

Step 2: Get trained at a dog base
·Each dog will find a trainer at the base. They will work in pairs.
·The dogs need to choose a “job” and learn different skills, like finding missing people, smelling for dangerous things and so on.

·After three to six months of training, dogs will take an important exam.
·To pass it, they need to be strong and follow orders. Those who pass it can become police dogs.

①The United Nations (UN) has decided that 2025 is the year of glacier (冰川) protection. It has also set March 21, 2025, as the first yearly World Day for Glaciers to ask everyone to help save glaciers. You can think of glaciers as slowly moving ice and snow on land. Over time, the snow adds up and turns into glacier ice. Glaciers have shaped mountains and valleys (山谷) over Earth’s history. They are still moving and hanging land in many places today.
②Glaciers are not just important for the land. The water from glaciers is also good for rivers and seas. In some places, glaciers give water to people and animals. They help keep Earth’s temperature constant (恒温). They also hold 70% of Earth’s clean water. In areas like the Himalayas, many people need glacier water to live.
③However, climate change is making problems for glaciers. Many glaciers are disappearing (消失). There will be less water for people to drink and farm. It is also bad for animals and plants. To deal with the problem, China is using smart ideas to slow down glacier melting (融化), UNESCO said.
④One idea is to use special glacier blankets (毯子) to slow melting. At Dagu Glacier, these blankets covered 500 m2 and slowed melting by 34% (2020-2021). In Xinjiang’s Glacier No.1, thinner blankets worked even better, cutting summer melting by up to 70%. The blankets block sunlight to protect the ice.
⑤Scientists also create artificial snow (人造雪) to help glaciers stay cooler and melt more slowly. In April and May 2023, scientists did this in the Bailanghe Glacier. The glacier grew 5.9 percent bigger. It is also important to watch glaciers carefully. Scientists use special devices (设备) to watch glaciers. This helps scientists know how glaciers are changing. By studying the numbers, scientists can find better ways to protect glaciers.
62.What’s the meaning of the underlined word “block” in Paragraph 4?
A.stop B.choose C.mix D.change
63.In this passage, the UN wants to protect glaciers because ______.
①they offer fresh water to people and animals
②they cover 70% of the Earth’s surface (表面)
③climate change makes problems for them
④they are important to rivers and seas
A.①② B.③④ C.①②③ D.①③④
64.What can we learn from the passage?
A.Glacier blankets at Dagu Glacier stopped melting in 2020-2021.
B.Glaciers move quickly across the land and make fast changes on land.
C.Artificial snow projects are more helpful than glacier blankets for all glaciers.
D.Studying glaciers with special devices helps find out how to protect glacier better.
65.Which of the following best shows the structure of this passage? (①= Paragraph 1)
A. B.
C. D.

题型聚焦:常见题型回顾,有的放矢
方法速记:关键知识梳理,查漏补缺
难点强化:题型感知专练,全面突破
七年级下学期英语阅读理解题型应对策略
一、细节理解题的应对策略
【题型特点】
细节理解题是英语阅读理解中的基础题型,主要考查学生对文章中具体信息的捕捉与分析能力,涉及内容广泛,如时间、地点、人物身份、事件经过、事物特征等。这类题目的答案通常能在原文中直接找到,部分题目需要通过简单的逻辑推理得出,要求学生仔细阅读文本,精准定位关键信息。
【解答策略】
1.关键词定位法:在阅读题干后,迅速圈出人名、地名、数字、年份、学科名称等具有显著特征的关键词,然后带着这些关键词回到原文,利用 “扫读” 技巧快速定位相关段落或句子,从而锁定答案范围。
2.同义替换识别:命题人常通过同义替换的方式设置题目,即用不同的词汇、短语或句式表达相同的含义。学生需要识别题干与原文之间的同义、近义表述,避免因表达方式差异而误判答案。
【策略分析】
[阅读语篇1]
Last summer vacation, Lucy went to Beijing with her family by train. They stayed in a nice hotel near Tiananmen Square. On the first day, they visited the Great Wall. It was amazing! The next day, they went to the Palace Museum and took many beautiful photos.
[阅读试题]How did Lucy go to Beijing?
A. By plane B. By bus C. By train
[答题策略]
题干中的关键词为 “Lucy”“go to Beijing”,通过扫读原文,可快速定位到 “Last summer vacation, Lucy went to Beijing with her family by train.” 一句,明确答案为 C。此过程运用关键词定位法,精准找到关键信息。同时,题目中 “go to Beijing” 与原文 “went to Beijing” 为时态不同的同义表达,体现了同义替换在题目设置中的应用 。
[阅读语篇2]
The panda is a lovely animal. It mainly lives in the forests of Sichuan, Shaanxi and Gansu in China. Pandas like to eat bamboo, and they spend most of their time eating and sleeping. An adult panda can weigh about 100 - 125 kilograms.
[阅读试题]Where do pandas mainly live?
A. In the deserts of Africa B. In the forests of China C. In the mountains of America
[答题策略]
利用题干关键词 “pandas”“live”,在原文中找到 “The panda is a lovely animal. It mainly lives in the forests of Sichuan, Shaanxi and Gansu in China.”,可知答案为 B。这里通过关键词定位迅速锁定信息,并且 “live” 与 “lives” 以及 “in the forests of China” 和原文表述一致,直接对应答案。同时,其他选项中 “deserts of Africa”“mountains of America” 与原文形成干扰,需要学生依靠准确的信息定位来排除。
[阅读语篇3]
In my opinion, reading books is very important. First, it can improve our knowledge. For example, by reading science books, we can learn about the universe and new technologies. Second, reading helps us relax. After a long day of study, reading a funny storybook can make us feel better.
[阅读试题]How can reading science books help us?
A. Learn about the universe B. Make more friends C. Keep healthy
[答题策略]
根据题干关键词 “reading science books”,在文中找到 “For example, by reading science books, we can learn about the universe and new technologies.”,得出答案为 A。此过程依赖关键词快速定位到具体论据,而题目中的 “help us” 对应原文 “we can”,“learn about the universe” 直接取自原文,是典型的通过同义表述呈现答案的细节理解题 。
二、词义猜测题的应对策略
【题型特点】
词义猜测题是英语阅读理解中的常见题型,旨在考查学生根据语境推断生词、短语或句子含义的能力。题目中的 “生词” 既可能是学生尚未接触过的全新词汇,也可能是学过词汇的特殊用法(如熟词生义)。解答此类题目不能依赖词典,需通过分析上下文逻辑关系或词汇构成来推测词义。
【解答策略】
1.上下文线索法:生词所在句子的前后文通常会提供解释、举例、对比、因果等线索。例如,通过同位语、定语从句、标点符号(如破折号、括号)等对生词进行解释;或利用转折词(but, however)、因果连词(because, so)等逻辑关系推导词义。
2.词根词缀法:英语中许多单词由词根、前缀和后缀构成。掌握常见词根(如 “bio-” 表示生命,“graph-” 表示写)、前缀(如 “un-” 表示否定,“re-” 表示重复)、后缀(如 “-tion” 构成名词,“-ful” 构成形容词)的含义,可辅助推测单词的核心意义。
【策略分析】
[阅读语篇1]
Tom felt extremely fatigued after running the marathon. He could barely stand up and needed to lie down immediately.
[阅读试题]The underlined word “fatigued” probably means ______.
A. energetic B. tired C. excited
[答题策略]
通过上下文线索法,“after running the marathon”(跑完马拉松后)和 “could barely stand up”(几乎站不起来)构成因果关系,说明跑步导致身体出现疲惫反应,由此推测 “fatigued” 意为 “tired”(疲惫的),答案选 B。选项 A “energetic”(精力充沛的)和 C “excited”(兴奋的)与语境矛盾。
[阅读语篇2]
The phenomenon, that is, the unusual increase in sea levels, has become a global concern. Scientists are researching ways to solve this problem.
[阅读试题]What does the underlined word “phenomenon” mean?
A. 灾难 B. 现象 C. 政策
[答题策略]
破折号后的 “the unusual increase in sea levels”(海平面异常上升)是对 “phenomenon” 的具体解释,通过上下文线索法可知,此处描述的是一种客观存在的情况,即 “现象”,答案选 B。利用同位语作为线索,能直接锁定生词含义,排除 A、C 选项的干扰。
[阅读语篇3]
The misunderstandings between the two groups could have been avoided if they had communicated more clearly. Miscommunication often leads to conflicts.
[阅读试题]The word “miscommunication” probably refers to ______.
A. effective communication B. lack of communication C. wrong communication
[答题策略]
运用词根词缀法,“mis-” 作为前缀表示 “错误、否定”,“communication” 意为 “交流”,由此可推测 “miscommunication” 表示 “错误的交流”,答案选 C。选项 A “effective communication”(有效交流)和 B “lack of communication”(缺乏交流)与词根词缀推导的含义不符。
[阅读语篇4]
Unlike his talkative brother, Mark is rather reticent. He seldom speaks in public and prefers to listen.
[阅读试题]The underlined word “reticent” means ______ in Chinese.
A. 健谈的 B. 沉默寡言的 C. 外向的
[答题策略]
通过上下文线索法,“Unlike his talkative brother”(与他健谈的哥哥不同)建立了对比关系,说明 Mark 的性格与 “talkative”(健谈的)相反,结合 “He seldom speaks in public”(他很少在公共场合说话),可推测 “reticent” 意为 “沉默寡言的”,答案选 B。利用对比词 “Unlike” 和后续行为描述,能快速推断生词含义。
三、主旨大意题的应对策略
【题型特点】
主旨大意题是英语阅读理解中的核心题型,重点考查学生对文章整体内容的宏观把握与概括能力。此类题目不局限于某个细节,而是要求学生提炼文章的核心观点、主题或中心思想。常见提问方式除了 “What’s the main idea of the passage?”“The passage is mainly about...”,还有 “The passage mainly tells us...”“The best title for this passage could be...” 等。答案通常具有高度概括性,需涵盖文章主要内容,避免以偏概全。
【解答策略】
1.首尾段分析法:英语文章常遵循 “总 - 分” 或 “分 - 总” 结构,主旨句多位于首段或尾段。首段一般起到开篇点题、引出话题的作用;尾段则用于总结全文、升华主题。阅读时需重点关注首尾段的核心句、观点句或总结句。
2.高频词提炼法:文章中反复出现的关键词往往与主旨紧密相关。通过统计高频词,可快速锁定文章核心话题,帮助判断主旨。同时,注意一些同义词或近义词的替换使用,它们也可能围绕同一主题展开。
结构梳理法:对于结构复杂的文章,可通过梳理段落大意,分析各段落与文章整体的关系,从而归纳出主旨。例如,分析每个段落是如何支撑或论证核心观点的。
【策略分析】
[阅读语篇1]
首段:Last weekend, I had an unforgettable experience at the community volunteer activity. It not only taught me new skills but also made me realize the value of helping others.
中间段:I helped the elderly clean their houses, taught children how to draw, and organized a small donation drive. Seeing the smiles on their faces, I felt a strong sense of satisfaction. Everyone worked together, and the whole community seemed to come alive.
尾段:This volunteer activity was more than just a weekend task. It made me understand that even small acts of kindness can bring warmth and change to people’s lives. I’m looking forward to joining more such activities in the future.
[阅读试题]What’s the main idea of the passage?
A. The writer’s weekend plan B. How to organize a volunteer activity C. The writer’s meaningful volunteer experience
[答题策略]
运用首尾段分析法,首段点明 “unforgettable experience at the community volunteer activity”(难忘的社区志愿活动经历),尾段总结活动的意义,即 “small acts of kindness can bring warmth and change”(小善举能带来温暖与改变)。同时,高频词提炼法也表明 “volunteer activity”“experience” 在文中反复出现。综合判断,答案选 C。选项 A 仅提及周末计划,过于宽泛;选项 B 侧重于活动组织方法,偏离文章重点。
[阅读语篇2]
The Internet has become an essential part of modern life. It connects people around the world, allowing us to communicate, study, and work more efficiently. Through social media platforms, we can share our lives with friends and family instantly. In education, online courses provide endless learning resources. For businesses, e-commerce has revolutionized the way of trading. However, the Internet also brings challenges, such as information security and addiction. We need to use it wisely to enjoy its benefits while avoiding potential risks.
[阅读试题]The passage is mainly about ______.
A. the history of the Internet B. the advantages and disadvantages of the Internet C. how to use the Internet safely
[答题策略]
首段指出 “The Internet has become an essential part of modern life”(互联网已成为现代生活的重要部分),引出主题。随后分别阐述互联网在沟通、教育、商业等方面的优势,以及信息安全和成瘾等问题,体现了其利弊。高频词 “Internet” 贯穿全文,且 “advantages”“disadvantages” 相关表述多次出现。因此,答案选 B。选项 A 文章未涉及互联网历史;选项 C 仅强调安全使用,无法涵盖文章全貌。
[阅读语篇3]
Some people think that playing video games is a waste of time. They believe it can make students lose focus on their studies and harm their physical health. However, video games also have positive aspects. They can improve players’ reaction speed, problem-solving ability, and even teamwork skills in multiplayer games. Moreover, after a long day of study or work, games can serve as a great way to relax. In my opinion, the key is not to ban video games completely but to find a balance between playing and other activities. We should use games as a tool for entertainment and learning, rather than letting them control our lives.
[阅读试题]The best title for this passage could be ______.
A. The Bad Effects of Video Games B. The Good Sides of Video Games C. The Proper Attitude towards Video Games
[答题策略]
文章先列举部分人对游戏的负面看法,再阐述游戏的积极作用,最后在尾段总结观点 “the key is not to ban video games completely but to find a balance”(关键是找到平衡,而非完全禁止),点明对待游戏应持有的正确态度。通过结构梳理法可知,前文正反论述均为尾段观点服务。高频词 “video games” 和 “balance”“proper attitude” 相关含义反复出现。所以,答案选 C。选项 A、B 分别只涉及文章部分内容,属于以偏概全。
四、推理判断题的应对策略
【题型特点】
推理判断题是英语阅读理解中较具挑战性的题型,其答案不会直接在文中呈现,需要学生基于文章提供的事实、细节和逻辑关系,进行合理的分析、归纳与推断,从而得出隐含的结论。这类题目常考查学生对作者意图、人物情感态度、事件发展趋势等深层信息的理解能力,常见提问方式有 “We can infer from the passage that...”“What can we learn from the story?”“The author implies that...” 等。
【解答策略】
1.依据原文推理:所有推理必须紧密围绕文章内容,以文中明确表述的事实、细节为依据,避免脱离文本进行过度推断或加入个人主观想法。
2.逻辑关系分析:仔细分析文章中的因果关系、对比关系、转折关系、递进关系等逻辑线索,通过这些关系推导隐含信息。例如,根据因果关系由 “因” 推 “果”,或通过对比关系判断事物的差异与特点。
3.情感态度判断:关注文中描述性词汇、人物对话和行为细节,以此推断作者或文中人物的情感态度。
4.整合信息:对于复杂的推理题,需整合多个段落或句子的信息,综合分析得出结论。
【策略分析】
[阅读语篇1]
Lily had always been afraid of public speaking. When her teacher announced a speech competition, her hands started to shake and her face turned pale. But Lily didn't want to miss this chance to overcome her fear. She spent hours every day practicing in front of the mirror, writing and rewriting her speech, and even asking her friends for feedback. On the day of the competition, although she was still nervous, she walked onto the stage with her head held high.
[阅读试题]We can infer from the passage that ______.
A. Lily gave up the speech competition
B. Lily would perform well in the competition
C. Lily was not prepared for the competition
[答题策略]
依据原文推理,文中提到 Lily 虽害怕但 “didn't want to miss this chance to overcome her fear”,且 “spent hours every day practicing”“asking her friends for feedback”,通过这些行为细节可知她为比赛做了充分准备;再结合 “walked onto the stage with her head held high” 展现出的自信姿态,利用逻辑分析可推断出她在比赛中可能会有良好表现,答案选 B。选项 A 与原文中她积极准备的行为相悖;选项 C 与她大量练习的事实不符。
[阅读语篇2]
Solar energy is a clean and renewable resource. It doesn't produce any pollution and can be used continuously as long as there is sunlight. In contrast, coal and oil are non-renewable resources. Once they are used up, they cannot be replenished. Moreover, burning coal and oil releases a large amount of carbon dioxide, which causes serious environmental problems like global warming.
[阅读试题]What can we infer from the passage?
A. Solar energy will replace all other energy sources in the future
B. Coal and oil are more expensive than solar energy
C. Solar energy is more environmentally friendly than coal and oil
[答题策略]
通过逻辑分析,文中将太阳能与煤炭、石油进行对比,指出太阳能 “clean and renewable”“doesn't produce any pollution”,而煤炭和石油 “non-renewable” 且燃烧会造成 “serious environmental problems” 。依据这些对比信息可合理推断出太阳能比煤炭、石油更环保,答案选 C。选项 A 中 “replace all other energy sources” 属于过度推断;选项 B 中关于价格的比较在文中未提及。
[阅读语篇3]
Many people think that students should only focus on their studies. However, I believe that extracurricular activities are equally important. Participating in sports can improve physical health and teamwork skills. Joining clubs like the art club or debate club helps students develop creativity and communication abilities. These skills are not only useful in school but also in future careers.
[阅读试题]The author implies that ______.
A. students should spend more time on extracurricular activities than on study
B. extracurricular activities are beneficial for students' overall development
C. schools should cancel all academic courses

March 22 is World Water Day. People think water is the source of all life. Water has been part of Chinese culture for thousands of years. It affects not only the start of Chinese civilization but also many smart ideas in Chinese philosophy.
Chinese civilization is one of the ancient river civilizations in the world. It started thousands of years ago along the Yellow and Yangtze rivers. So, Chinese culture has been related to water from the very beginning.
But the relationship between people and water has two sides. Water is very important for life and for growing things. But if we can’t manage it well, it can bring big problems. Knowing how powerful water is, Chinese people have always tried to use it in the best way. For example, Yu, the first ruler of the Xia Dynasty in stories, controlled floods. He changed and dug the waterways so that the water could flow into the sea easily. The Dujiangyan irrigation (灌溉) system in Sichuan was built cleverly. It made full use of the natural features of the place without hurting the environment.
Water also has philosophical meanings in China. These meanings are used to teach people and help rule the country. According to Xunzi (《荀子》), Confucius often thought about water. He believed water had good qualities like fairness and courage. He once said, “Wise people like water; kind people like mountains (智者乐水,仁者乐山)..” So, Confucianism tells people to learn from water and develop their sense of right and wrong. Inspired by water, Laozi came up with the ideas of “using softness to beat hardness (以柔克刚)” and “doing nothing against nature”. These ideas later kept inspiring rulers to follow the laws of nature and respect what people want. Ancient Chinese philosopher Xunzi compared a ruler and his people to a boat and water. He said, “Water can carry a boat, but it can also turn the boat over.”
Water is everywhere in our daily life. It is a very important part of Chinese culture. It helps build Chinese civilization.

A Meaningful School Trip
Last autumn, our class took a memorable trip to the City History Museum. At first, I thought it would be terrible—who enjoys dusty exhibits? But what happened next changed my mind.
We explored ancient tools in Hall A.Ms. Lane, our guide, taught us how people created pottery 3,000 years ago. My friend Jake recorded her explanations on his phone. Suddenly, we realized the microphone wasn’t working! Ms. Lane’s voice filled the silent room like a storyteller’s.
The best part came in Hall B.We agreed to join a workshop. Using clay, we created mini artworks while rain filled the streets outside. I made a crooked vase but laughed harder than ever.
At lunch, we shared stories under umbrellas. Jake played his recordings—Ms. Lane’s voice mixed with our giggles. “This is better than any history video!” he said.

Going green seems to be a fashion for a lot of people these days, but for the two of us, going green is not a fashion but a lifestyle.
On April 22, 2019, we started our plan to go green every day for a year. This meant doing 365 different green things. For example, we reused water and cut down the use of our energy. Also, we had to think of something different to do and this was not easy.
With the idea of going green every single day for a year, Our Green Year started. My wife and I taught people how they could go green in their lives. We hoped we could show people all the green things that we could do to make the environment better. We wanted to push the idea that every little bit helps it a lot.
During Our Green Year, we completely changed our lifestyles. We now shop at organic (有机的) stores. We eat less meat, choosing green food. We greatly cut down our buying. We give away half of what we have on the Internet. We clean our home with vinegar (醋) and lemon juice instead of chemical cleaners. We make our own butter, enjoying the smell of home-made bread. In our home office, anyone doing something ungreen may be punished (惩罚).
We changed a lot during Our Green Year. We are thankful for the chance to be able to go green and teach others. We believe that we do have the power to change things and help our planet.

① Talking to yourself might seem strange if someone notices. But don’t feel bad about it. It’s actually very helpful to you.
② Talking out loud helps your brain work better. It can improve your performance in studying, doing sports, and solving problems. Researchers (研究者) studied 72 tennis players. They divided them into two groups. One group stayed silent (沉默) while playing, and the other talked to themselves. The group who talked to themselves felt more confident and performed better.
③ If you’re feeling sad or angry, talking to yourself can help. Using your name, like saying, “Tom, you can deal with this,” allows you to think calmly (冷静地) and see things in a different way. For example, before an exam, you can say, “I’m ready for this!” This kind of self-talk makes you feel stronger. It’s like giving yourself a pep talk to face challenges.
④ Self-talk also helps improve memory. Researchers tested four different ways to memorize things: reading silently, reading aloud, listening to someone else reading, and listening to a recording of oneself reading. They found that reading out loud helps you remember things best. Speaking the words makes the information (信息) stay in your brain longer.
⑤ So, don’t feel shy. Talking to yourself is a great way to improve your mood, memory, and confidence. It’s like having a conversation with your best friend—yourself! Next time you need to study, play a sport, or solve a problem, try talking to yourself. You might be surprised by how much it helps. It’s not strange—it’s a smart way to make your brain more active!

West Town Bike is a group that organizes local bike clubs for teenagers. It is based in Chicago. Teens at West Town Bike say that they enjoy biking, but biking in this city sometimes seems dangerous. Recently, these students have suggested a lot of solutions in order to make roads safer for bikers.
David Harb, a senior at Lane Tech High School, has learned hand signals from his father since he was 6. These simple movements tell drivers if a biker plans to turn or stop. “They’re like a secret language between riders and drivers.” David explained. Now riding to school daily, he strongly believes this skill should be taught in classrooms. “Why not start bike safety clubs?” he suggested. “Schools could have weekly classes showing students proper hand signals. No need for building new roads-just use your arms to stay safe.”
Christopher Garcia, a student from Lake View High School, has another idea. He thinks that the government should set up bike safety zones near busy crossroads. These zones could include clear markings and signs to guide bikers and warn drivers. “Drivers know they should slow down or stop when they see these signs.” Christopher explained. He even presented his design as an example. “If we add flashing lights and clear ‘Bike Zone’ signs at this busy crossroads near the school, students will pass through this area more safely.”
Jane Perez, a night rider from Lincoln High School, agrees it’s important for bikers to be noticed by drivers. Though her bike has three bright LED lights, many streets are still too dark and unsafe, “Many roads don’t have proper lighting.” she said. “We should add more bike-friendly streetlights, which can help drivers notice us from far away. This would be an efficient way to prevent accidents.”
21.According to David, who should teach hand signals to teenagers?
A.Family members. B.Police officers.
C.Local bike clubs. D.Schools and teachers.
22.What does Christopher suggest to make biking safer?
A.Improving lighting in dark areas. B.Building more new roads for students.
C.Creating a safe area to protect the bikers. D.Helping drivers know if bikers want to turn.
23.What do all the students’ suggestions have in common?
A.They mainly focus on biking at night.
B.They need support from the government.
C.They think schools should take action immediately.
D.They include ways to help drivers notice the bikers.

A.To encourage students to bike to school.
B.To attract teenagers to join West Town Bike.
C.To explain why biking in Chicago is dangerous.

Why do the leaves on trees have different colors? What makes them change their colors?
Leaves use sunlight, water and air to make food for the trees. This way of making food is called photosynthesis (光合作用). Photosynthesis is important to animals as well as plants. Some animals eat plants. Other animals eat these animals.
Summer is playtime. For the leaves of many trees, however, it’s work, work, work! The sun is shining. The leaves are making food for the trees. The trees keep more than enough food deep inside. Leaves are green in summer because they are making food. Leaves also have orange, yellow, or brown colors inside them. During summer, those colors are covered by the green color.
Many places get colder in autumn with shorter days and longer nights. Trees get less sunlight, so photosynthesis slows down. Over time, leaves stop making the green chemical (化学物质). The orange, yellow, and brown colors grow when that happens.
Once it gets cold enough and ice appears at night, the trees drop their leaves. They do this to keep themselves safe. If the leaves are icy while still on the trees, the trees can be hurt. Trees that drop their leaves are bare (光秃秃) in winter. They use the food they save in summer to get through the cold days and nights.
Spring comes before long. Ice and snow disappear and the rains come. The sun shines, and tiny leaves grow from branches. Once again , the leaves use sunlight, water and air to make food. The cycle begins again.

In 2004, 20-year-old Wu Xiong became the headteacher of Tangfang Primary School in Bailing Town, Xingren City, Guizhou. At that time, the school had only an old house, 3 teachers and 75 students. Even worse, many children there showed little interest in going to school. To solve this problem, Wu turned to sports.
In 2006, the school organized its first sports meeting. “We made a simple ping-pong table for a competition,” Wu said. Over time, badminton, long-distance running and other events appeared in the sports meeting, making it more popular with the students.

Does happiness matter? People have different opinions. Some think there are more important things to worry about, while others believe happiness is what everyone wants in life. To understand this, we first need to understand what happiness really means.
Happiness is about our feelings, but it’s more than just a short moment of smiles or laughter. Instead, happiness is how we feel about our lives overall. Every day, we feel many different emotions. For example, feelings like fear and anger help protect us from danger, while happy feelings like joy and hope help us make friends and solve problems. Being happy doesn’t mean we should never feel sad or angry. Everyone has difficult times, and it’s normal (正常的) to have these feelings. True happiness means enjoying good times while also learning to deal with hard times.
Research shows happiness plays an important role in success. Some might think happy people are less hardworking, but research shows the opposite is true. They actually perform (表现) better in their jobs, maintain better health, and build stronger relationships. In one study at Warwick University, scientists put participants (参与者) into two groups. The first group watched a happy, funny video while the second group watched a normal video. After watching, both groups did the same office task. The results showed that the first group did their tasks 11% better than the second one.
Other researchers have found similar results. For example, business researchers studied companies for many years and found that companies with happier workers always did better in the market. Also, when scientists followed young people for many years, they saw that those who were happier in childhood usually were more successful when they grew up than those who were less happy. One of the reasons is that happiness can wake up the control center in children’s brains, to help weigh options more clearly, like choosing “study first, play later” instead of wasting time. In other words, happiness may lead to success, not just come from it.
Of course, happiness doesn’t solve all problems. Happy people still have difficulties, and not all happy people are successful. But happiness does make life better in many ways. In the end, happiness is more than just a feeling. It helps us succeed, makes society stronger, and gives life its real meaning.
36.What is the main idea of Paragraph 2?
A.Happiness is not only a moment of joy. B.What the true meaning of happiness is.
C.It is natural to have different feelings. D.Happiness is about people’s feelings.
37.What does the expression “the opposite is true” in Paragraph 3 mean?
A.Happiness is good for relationships. B.Hard work makes people successful.
C.Happy people could do better work. D.Success leads to better health.
38.Which of the following would the writer most probably agree with?
A.Happy workers did 11% more work than less happy ones.
B.A happy childhood can ensure a happier life in adulthood.
C.Happiness makes people overcome the bad feelings.
D.Happiness can help people make better decisions.
39.What is the writer’s main purpose in writing this passage?
A.To discuss different people’s ideas about happiness.
B.To compare happy people with others in research.
C.To tell us that success is the key to happiness.
D.To show that happiness is important for success.

Dragons have long held the imagination of both Chinese and Western cultures, but they have very different looks and meanings that set them apart.
In Chinese culture, the dragon, named “Long”, holds a special place. It has a special appearance, looking like a huge, long snake combined with various animal parts. For example, it has the tail of a fish, which helps it swim gracefully in water. The scales (鳞) of a fish cover its body, giving it a shiny and protective surface. Its long neck is similar to that of a snake, allowing for flexible movement. Chinese dragons are often wingless, but they have the magical ability to rocket up and fly through the sky.
They stand for many positive qualities. In the past, they are the symbols (象征) of power. Emperors and kings were considered as sons of dragons, showing their noble (尊贵的) position. Also, Chinese farmers, who depended on good weather for their crops, used to offer sacrifices (祭祀品) like sheep to dragon gods. They hoped that the dragons would bring favorable weather, and thus good harvests. Moreover, dragons are believed to bring good fortune. You can often see dragon pictures on New Year decorations or at other traditional festivals like the Dragon Boat Festival.
In Western culture. dragons are very different. They are giant creatures that can breathe fire and destroy life. Their large bat-like wings carry them to the sky. Their bodies are covered in lizard-like scales, and their tails often have a sharp tip. Western dragons are usually related to evil. In medieval times (中世纪), they were seen as symbols of the devil, and the devil was even called “the great dragon”. Knights (骑士) would be celebrated as the bravest heroes when they killed dragons.
In a word, the dragons of Chinese and Western cultures reveal the large differences between these two worlds. While Chinese dragons are seen as symbols of strength, wisdom, and good fortune, the Western dragons are often described as wicked, fire-breathing beasts. Whether as a protector of the world or a fearsome enemy, the dragon remains a timeless and fascinating fictional creature, inviting us to explore the depths of our own culture and imagination.
45.Which of the following is NOT a feature of Chinese dragons described in the passage?
A.They have lizard-like scales. B.They have a long, flexible neck.
C.They can fly without wings. D.They have the tail of a fish.
46.Why did Chinese farmers offer sacrifices to dragon gods?

C.To ensure good weather and harvests. D.To celebrate Chinese New Year.
47.How are dragons described in Western culture?
A.As magical and protective beings. B.As wingless and gentle creatures.
C.As evil and fire-breathing beasts. D.As common signs of good fortune.
48.Which of the following shows the structure of the passage?

The first time I saw August Pullman, he was sitting alone at the back of Mr. Browne’s classroom, his face half-hidden behind a tower of textbooks. Most new kids would’ve been scanning the room for friends, but he was too busy taking notes. When Mr. Browne wrote “CHOOSE KIND” on the board, he circled the words twice like they were the answer to some secret question only he knew.
I didn’t sit with August that first day because I felt sorry for him. I sat with him because he was laughing at Mr. Browne’s lesson. Most kids were rolling their eyes, but August was actually writing things down—like he truly cared about “When given the choice between being right or being kind, choose kind.”
Later in the cafeteria, Julian kept asking those questions: “What happened to your face? Were you in a fire?” August handled it like an expert. He just said, “No, I was born this way. It’s called mandibulofacial dysostosis, if you really want to know.” Julian looked stupid then, because August knew more big words than he did.
What’s strange is how people treat me now that I’m friends with August. Some kids called me “Nice Summer” quietly like it’s an insult (侮辱). Others suddenly want to be my friend, asking all these fake-nice questions about him. The worst are the teachers—they give me these cheering looks, like I’m some kind of hero for eating lunch with him.
August doesn’t need my protection. Yesterday, some seventh-grader tripped him in the hallway. Before I could react, August got up and said, “Thanks for the floor examination. It looks clean.” The kid just walked away confused.
Sometimes I wonder why more people don’t see what I see: a funny kid who chews his pencils to death, who can name every planet’s moons, who remembers that I hate cream. Not “the kid with the face”. Just August.
But then I hear the whispers in the locker room, see the way kids suddenly change seats when he sits down…and I remember why this is so hard.
Walking home that afternoon, I remembered that Mom always says middle school is just practice for real life, but what’s the lesson here? That most people are too scared to sit next to someone different?
49.Why did Summer firstly sit with August?
A.She pitied his unusual appearance. B.She noticed his reaction to Mr. Browne’s lesson.
C.The teachers asked her to help him. D.She wanted to impress other students.
50.Summer finds others’ “Nice Summer” comments ________.
A.wise and encouraging B.hurtful but understandable
C.funny but insulting D.strange and annoying
51.August’s reaction to being tripped shows that he ________.
A.was afraid of a fight B.wanted to report bullies to teachers
C.relied on Summer for protection D.used humor wisely to solve problems
52.This passage mainly explores________.
A.the challenges August faces with his school work B.Summer’s development of true friendship

We all have trouble, and often make mistakes. However, many of us find it hard to admit (承认) them to others. We believe that our trouble and mistakes show our weakness, and we are afraid to let others see us as not good enough.
The good news is that our worries about the negative evaluations (负面评价) from others may not be as serious as we imagine. A research suggested that we saw our act of showing weakness more negatively than others did, and researchers called this the “beautiful mess effect (效应)”. In other words, we may not be such a mess as we think.
This effect can stop us from sharing our true feelings and needs, which can be good for us. For example, studies show that sharing personal information about oneself may help build closeness and trust (信任), while saying sorry sincerely and admitting the mistakes you make could improve a fractured relationship.
So researchers wanted to know how we could get over the “beautiful mess effect”. Their new experiments suggest that being self-compassionate (自我同情) can be very helpful when we want to find beauty in our own weakness.
In the study, researchers invited 340 university students to take part in four experiments. In one of them, they asked students to imagine themselves admitting to their boss that they’d made a big mistake on a project. Then, students needed to evaluate this act: Did they see it as an act of showing one’s courage or weakness? Finally, researchers evaluated how self-compassionate the students were.
The study showed that lowly self-compassionate students evaluated their own act more negatively. However, highly self-compassionate students were not much influenced by the “beautiful mess effect”. In other words, self-compassion helps us evaluate our act of showing weakness more fairly (客观地).
Luckily, our level of self-compassion is not fixed and can be raised if we want to. If we are kind and caring towards ourselves, we can become more comfortable with showing our weakness. This practice, in turn, can improve our relationships.

Hi, I’m Fu Zai, a 6-month-old corgi (柯基). I’m China’s first corgi police dog! Some people think I can’t be a great police dog because of my short legs. But I’m here to tell you that they are wrong!
One day, when I was 2 months old, I was playing with my owner in the park. A policeman saw me and thought I had the talent to be a police dog. Then, I started my training. My short legs make me stand out! I can go under cars or get into and search small spaces easily. Bigger dogs can’t do this but I can! My only problem is that I can’t run very fast. When we are outside doing our job, sometimes my trainer needs to give me a piggyback (背上的) ride. It’s one of my favorite parts of the job.
Becoming a police dog is not easy. Dogs need to take lots of classes and exams.
Step 1: Go to a puppy kindergarten
·Puppies in the. kindergarten should be younger than 6 months old.
·Dogs there learn lots of simple skills, like listening to orders, fighting and getting over obstacles (障碍).
Step 2: Get trained at a dog base
·Each dog will find a trainer at the base. They will work in pairs.
·The dogs need to choose a “job” and learn different skills, like finding missing people, smelling for dangerous things and so on.
Step 3: Take a big exam
·After three to six months of training, dogs will take an important exam.
·To pass it, they need to be strong and follow orders. Those who pass it can become police dogs.
57.What is the advantage of Fu Zai’s short legs?

①The United Nations (UN) has decided that 2025 is the year of glacier (冰川) protection. It has also set March 21, 2025, as the first yearly World Day for Glaciers to ask everyone to help save glaciers. You can think of glaciers as slowly moving ice and snow on land. Over time, the snow adds up and turns into glacier ice. Glaciers have shaped mountains and valleys (山谷) over Earth’s history. They are still moving and hanging land in many places today.
②Glaciers are not just important for the land. The water from glaciers is also good for rivers and seas. In some places, glaciers give water to people and animals. They help keep Earth’s temperature constant (恒温). They also hold 70% of Earth’s clean water. In areas like the Himalayas, many people need glacier water to live.
③However, climate change is making problems for glaciers. Many glaciers are disappearing (消失). There will be less water for people to drink and farm. It is also bad for animals and plants. To deal with the problem, China is using smart ideas to slow down glacier melting (融化), UNESCO said.
④One idea is to use special glacier blankets (毯子) to slow melting. At Dagu Glacier, these blankets covered 500 m2 and slowed melting by 34% (2020-2021). In Xinjiang’s Glacier No.1, thinner blankets worked even better, cutting summer melting by up to 70%. The blankets block sunlight to protect the ice.
⑤Scientists also create artificial snow (人造雪) to help glaciers stay cooler and melt more slowly. In April and May 2023, scientists did this in the Bailanghe Glacier. The glacier grew 5.9 percent bigger. It is also important to watch glaciers carefully. Scientists use special devices (设备) to watch glaciers. This helps scientists know how glaciers are changing. By studying the numbers, scientists can find better ways to protect glaciers.
62.What’s the meaning of the underlined word “block” in Paragraph 4?
A.stop B.choose C.mix D.change
63.In this passage, the UN wants to protect glaciers because ______.
①they offer fresh water to people and animals
②they cover 70% of the Earth’s surface (表面)
③climate change makes problems for them
④they are important to rivers and seas
A.①② B.③④ C.①②③ D.①③④
64.What can we learn from the passage?
A.Glacier blankets at Dagu Glacier stopped melting in 2020-2021.
B.Glaciers move quickly across the land and make fast changes on land.
C.Artificial snow projects are more helpful than glacier blankets for all glaciers.
D.Studying glaciers with special devices helps find out how to protect glacier better.
65.Which of the following best shows the structure of this passage? (①= Paragraph 1)
A. B.
