专题03阅读与表达 1、 人与社会 Passage 1（2025·辽宁 沈阳市大东区 ·二模） Scientists from China’s Shanghai Jiao Tong University are developing a robot “guide dog” to help blind people. With the help of cameras and AI, the robot dog can see, listen and speak with blind people. Blind people can also use a cane (手杖) to control the robot’s walking and running speed. The robot can even recognize traffic lights—real guide dogs are unable to do that. The robot dog is about the size of an English bulldog but a little wider. It has six legs instead of four. The other two legs make it more steady (稳定的) and help it move faster. 41-year-old Li Fei and 42-year-old Zhu Sibin are helping test the robot. Li is totally blind and Zhu can only see a little. “The robot dog will make it easier to get into public places. It could change our lives in the near future,” Li said. In China, there are about 17.31 million blind people, but there are only about 400 guide dogs. The new robot is trying to solve this problem. “We believe our robot will act as ‘a pair of eyes’ for blind people,” said Professor Gao Feng, one of the scientists. He thinks there could be a large market for these robot dogs. 1．How can the robot dog see, listen and speak with blind people? 2．How many legs does the robot dog have? 3．What will the new robot act as for blind people? 4．Do you agree with Li Fei’s opinion? Write 30 words or more. Passage 2（2025·辽宁沈阳市铁西区·二模） One day, our English teacher Mr. White came into the classroom with a book in his hand. He started his lesson with a question, “Who can describe what stress is like?” No one answered. Then he raised the book and asked, “How heavy is the book?” On hearing the question, we began to think and guess. One student said, “I think it is 100g.” Another student said, “It’s 200g.” Our answers were different. Finally, Mr. White explained, “It doesn’t only depend on the real weight. It also has much to do with the time we hold it. If I hold it for a minute, it is OK. If I hold it for an hour, I will have a pain in my right arm. If I hold it for a day, I will have to see a doctor. It is the exact same weight, but the longer I hold it, the heavier it becomes.” “This book is just like stress,” he continued. “If you hold it without putting it down, sooner or later, you will not be able to keep on. No matter how much stress you have, stop and have a rest for a while if possible.” We all thanked Mr. White for giving such a meaningful lesson which made a difference to us. 5．How did Mr. White start his lesson one day? 6．How long did Mr. White say he could hold the book before his arm hurt? 7．What did Mr. White compare the book to? 8．What do you think of Mr. White’s advice on reducing stress? Write down your reason(s) with 30 words or more. Passage3（2025·辽宁 沈阳市和平区 ·二模） Everyone loves gifts! But each country has different customs (习俗). As a German living in China, I’ve seen some interesting differences from home. For example, in China, people often give fruits and milk. In Europe, these are usually for hospital visits. Many Europeans open their gifts right away, although not in places like Germany. It’s also important to take off the price tag (标签) before giving the gift. What if you don’t like your gift? In Spain, you still need to say you love the gift so you won’t hurt the other person’s feelings. But if they remember to leave the receipt (收据) inside the gift, you can just change it for something else. How the gift looks is also important. However, by using wrapping paper (包装纸) for every gift we buy, we make a lot of waste. Now, many are choosing newspapers or maps as wrappings to help the environment. Do Europeans give money as gifts? Yes. Polish couples, for example, often want cash at weddings (婚礼) to cover the cost of the weddings. Finally, remember: It’s the thought that counts, not the price of the gift. 9．Which country does the writer come from? 10．Why are people choosing newspapers or maps as wrappings now? 11．According to the writer, which is more important for a gift, the thought or the price of it? 12．What is the best gift you have ever received and why? Write 30 words or more. Passage 4（2025·辽宁沈阳市沈河区中考 ·二模） Teamwork Makes a Difference During the summer vacation, I took part in a summer camp in Chengdu. There I made many friends and had some extraordinary (非凡的) experiences. I saw lovely pandas, visited some museums, and had hot pot. However, the most impressive part for me was the teamwork. One day, after watching the pandas, making differently shaped food for them to eat, and cutting bamboo leaves, the teacher asked us to create a mind map of what we had learned and experienced over those days. I worked on it with my three new friends. We came up with a lot of different ideas and we decided to work together. I was in charge of the writing part. We finished it as quickly as possible. When the four of us shared it with others, I felt proud. It can be hard to do a task alone. But in some ways, teamwork is even more challenging. It needs us to communicate well, set clear goals, play our own roles, and trust and respect each other. But the fruit of teamwork can be very sweet! 13．Did the author have hot pot? 14．When did the teacher ask the author to create a mind map? 15．How did the author feel when the author’s team shared the mind map? 16．According to the last paragraph, teamwork needs us to communicate well, set clear goals, play our own roles, and trust and respect each other. Well, which do you think is the most important? Why? Write 30 words or more. Passage 5（2025·辽宁大连市·二模） Hello everyone! Here comes this month’s Campus (校园) Brain Game. We’re going to talk about what you would like to invent. Let your imagination run wild and post your thoughts below. —Andrew, Student Union President Students have a lot of homework. They often go to bed late and wake up early for school. I’d like to invent a machine to help you get ready in the morning without waking you up. It would carefully pick you up, take you to the bathroom and brush your teeth. It would get you dressed and set you down at the dining room table. Then it would gently wake you for breakfast. You’d be ready for school on time while still getting a good night’s sleep! —Michelle, from Grade 8 I’d invent a time machine that could take us to any day in history. We would finally be able to answer questions like “What killed the dinosaurs?” Just think how different all the world would be if every question about history life would be answered. We would know almost everything. And we could visit the past or the future to see how humanity (人类) has changed. Imagine visiting your ancestors! Imagine going to the future to tell people about life in the past! Just think about all that fun! —Troy, from Grade 8 A flying car! You could go anywhere you wanted. It could prevent traffic jams during rush hour. We wouldn’t have to build as many highways. There would be more space to plant trees. The air would be cleaner. My flying car would be powered by solar energy (太阳能). We could save the Earth and all the plants and animals, too. —Rebecca, from Grade 7 17．Why does the Student Union hold the Campus Brain Game? 18．In Michelle’s eyes, what problem do students face? 19．What is Troy’s interest according to what he would like to invent? 20．What do you think of Rebecca’s idea? Write 30 words or more. Passage 6（2025·辽宁本溪市中考·二模） Did you know that a lot of pollution in the world comes from inside your home—bricks (砖块)? What if nature could help us make bricks in a cleaner way? In fact, scientists are working on making bricks out of mushrooms right now. For example, Professor Han Wosten and his team at Utrecht University in the Netherlands are creating mushroom bricks. They mix mushrooms with straw (稻草) and the mushrooms grow on the straw for about two weeks. Then they can be made into different materials. “If we press it, we can get something like hardboard,” Wosten said. Making mushroom bricks creates much less CO2 than materials like cement (水泥). They are also biodegradable (可生物降解的), so we don’t have to worry about them polluting the land when they are thrown away. Mushroom materials can also fix themselves. If the floor in your house is broken, you can re-grow mushrooms to fix it. There is still a lot of research to do, though. “It’s very early to say your house will be all made of mushrooms,” said researcher Phil Ayres. Still, progress is being made, and the future of mushroom materials looks bright. 21．What is hardboard made of? 22．Why don’t mushroom bricks pollute the land when they are thrown away? 23．How can we fix a wall made of mushroom bricks? 24．As a teenager, what do you think you can do to help improve the environment? (Write 30 words or more.) Passage 7（2025·辽宁 辽阳市部分学校中考 ·二模） One afternoon in a bookstore, I found a book called The Last Days of Old Beijing (《再会, 老北京》) by a US writer Michael Meyer. The name caught my eyes and made me think about my home city, Beijing, and its past. Meye’s writing takes us back in time to Beijing about 20 years ago. In 2005, Meyer moved into a shared courtyard (庭院) home in one of Beijing’s oldest neighborhoods, Dashilan, on one of its hutong. There he taught English at a local school and became the only Westerner there living among local people. Meyer saw some of the great changes this neighborhood went through. The old houses made way for high-rise buildings and shopping malls. However, some parts of old Beijing’s culture stayed strong in the face of rapid change. People still kept traditions like putting up Spring Festival couplets and artists worked hard to pass down skills like acrobatics (杂技) . Meyer shows us how these traditions helped people hold onto their roots as old buildings went away around them. I was born in Beijing in the 2010s, so I know more about the city’s modern side. Reading The Last Days of Old Beijing opened my eyes to new sides of the city that I hadn’t seen before. Those small details (细节) of daily life in the old neighborhoods touched my heart. 25．Who was the book The Last Days of Old Beijing written by? 26．Where did Meyer work after he moved into a shared courtyard home in 2005? 27．Why were there fewer and fewer old houses in Beijing? 28．Would you like to visit Beijing during your vacation? Why? Write 30 words or more. Passage 8（2025·辽宁朝阳市双塔区一中联盟校中考 ·二模） On January 20, 2025, a Chinese tech company named DeepSeek made a new AI called DeepSeek-R1. This smart program can solve math problems, write code and answer questions like top models such as OpenAT’s GPT-40, but it costs much less to build. The team spent only $5.58 million (1/70 of OpenAI’s cost) and used 2, 048 computer chips (芯片) for two months. This shows that good ideas can beat big money. DeepSeek-RI learns by trying many times and getting better, like how students practice maths. Other AIs need lots of prepared examples, but R1 improves by itself. For example, in a global math test, it got 79.8% right, slightly higher than OpenAI’s model. A simple version (版本) of R1 can even run on low-cost computers, helping schools and small companies. DeepSeek-R1 is free to use and change. On its first day online, over 19, 000 programmers worldwide started projects to study it. A German scientist said experiments with R1 cost $10 instead of $300 with other AIs. Even Meta (a famous U.S. tech company) top scientist said, “This kind of free AI could change the world.” U.S. tech companies are worried. Meta plans to spend $65 billion more on AI research. Experts say China is catching up fast. A report in Nature magazine called R1 a “big step forward”, proving that smart ideas beat expensive tools. As a DeepSeek engineer said, “We want AI to be a friend, not something only rich people can use.” With R1, China shows the world that great things come from new ideas and hard work, not just money. 29．How much did it cost to create DeepSeck-R1? 30．What can the simple version of RI do? 31．Where’s the tech company Meta? 32．As a middle school student, what do you think of DeepSeek? Why? Write 30 words or more. Passage 9（2025·辽宁抚顺市新宾县第二中学中考 ·二模） In Verona, two families, the Montagues and Capulets, did not get along. Romeo from the Montague family went to a party at the Capulet house and saw Juliet. They liked each other right away and decided to get married in secret with the help of a kind priest. Trouble started when Romeo’s friend was killed by Tybalt, Juliet’s cousin. Romeo, very sad, fought back and Tybalt died. Romeo had to leave Verona. The priest planned for Romeo and Juliet to be together, but there was a mistake in the message. Thinking Romeo was dead, Juliet took a special drink to pretend to be asleep forever. When Romeo found out what happened, he thought Juliet was really gone and decided to join her. Juliet woke up and saw Romeo had gone. She could not live without him, so she stayed with him forever. Their sad story made the families realize their fight was not worth it, and they decided to be friends. Romeo and Juliet’s love showed them the way to peace. 33．Which families in Verona were not friendly with each other? 34．Who did Romeo see at the Capulet party? 35．What did the priest help Romeo and Juliet do? 36．What lesson do you learn from Romeo and Juliet’s story? Write 30 words or more. 二、人与自我 Passage 10（2025·辽宁沈阳市沈北新区中考 ·二模） It’s common to care about what other people think. However, we shouldn’t spend so much time on it. Indeed, if we spent all day worrying about how our actions make us appear, we’d never get anything done. So, how do we learn to ignore others’ opinions? Well, the answer is about learning to value who we are. It means that we should live our lives for ourselves, not for other people. There are a couple of ways to go about doing this. First, we should remember that our biggest judges (裁判) are ourselves. If we have a low opinion of ourselves, then we think that others feel the same way about us. To get over this, British therapist (心理治疗师) Chloe Brotheridge wrote in Psychology Today that we should “learn to love ourselves”. For example, you can make a list of the things you’ re good at and practice them every day. You can also spend more time with people who love you instead of with those who don’t. These things can help you feel better about yourself. Second, as Brotheridge wrote, “We can’t control the way other people react to us, no matter how hard we try.” By realizing this, you can learn to focus more on things that make you unique (与众不同的). In addition, we shouldn’t completely forget about how we act around other people. After all, nobody likes to have someone jump ahead of them in a queue (长队), for example. So, the best thing to remember is to always be nice to others. 37．How many suggestions does the writer give us about living our lives for ourselves? 38．Where does Chloe Brotheridge come from? 39．What is the best thing to remember? 40．Is it important for us to learn to love ourselves? Why or why not? (Write 30 words or more) Passage 11（2025·辽宁皇姑区43中中考 ·二模） I grew up in the countryside. I didn’t understand what it brought to me until I became an adult. It helped me learn more practical skills than my peers (同龄人) who grew up in cities. I learned to cook at the age of 10. The first skill I learned was making dough (面团). In my hometown of Ningxia, people make noodles from the start of the evening. Since my parents often came home late, a prepared dough would help my family have dinner sooner. I thought it would he easy because I often saw my mom do it-just mix water and flour (面粉), right? Not quite! It was a mess for a while. At the beginning, I made the dough too soft. Then, I made it too hard. But as I kept trying, I learned the trick (窍门). Later, I cooked fried dishes and things like dumplings. I fell in love with cooking. It’s a good way to relax. Thanks to my cooking skills, I live a better life when I need to work from home. I cook every meal instead of ordering delivery (外卖). It saves money, and I don’t have to wait for delivery drivers to bring me food. This may be why I’m so happy to know that students now have labor (劳动) education at school in China. These practical skills will help them for the rest of their lives. 41．When did the author begin to learn to cook? 42．Who did the author often see make dough? 43．In which country do students have labor (劳动) education? 44．What other practical skills do you want to learn except cooking? Why or why not? Write 30 words or more. Passage 12（2025·辽宁沈阳市浑南区中考 ·二模） The book review of The 7 Habits of Highly Effective Teens Are you looking for ways to be happier, successful and certain of yourself?

How can The 7 Habits of Highly Effective Teens help me? Here are a few tips for you to remember when you read this book: ·Read this book with an open and critical (批判性的) mind, not with unmindful (漫不经心的) belief because this book is written from the western view. ·Do not try to get all habits at once; rather, choose the ones that seem most sensible (敏感的) for you and work on them step by step, and celebrate your progress along the way. ·Do not try to finish everything on your own; get help and suggestions from people who share your goals or values such as friends, family, teachers or anyone else you feel can turn to. 45．Who is the writer of The 7 Habits of Highly Effective Teens? 46．What is the first habit of successful teens? 47．Why should we read this book with a critical mind? 48．Which habit would you like to try in your life? Why? Write 30 words or more! Passage 13（2025·辽宁阜新市海州区中考 ·二模） If you want to help protect the environment and save the planet, we’ve got some easy ways of going green. ◆Avoid food waste Go green and know the importance of finishing your meals to avoid food waste. Do your bit to save the planet as well by planning your meals for the week, so you only buy what you need. ◆Use reusable bottles Earth Day is a great time for you to drink from reusable water bottles when you’re out and about. You should form good water-saving habits around the house, too. ◆Try more plant-based meals Try to eat less meat. It’s a surprisingly simple way we can all use to help save the planet. Try with one day a week to get you starting, and then spread to more days when possible. ◆Cut down on the air conditioner (空调) Whenever you can, go green and open the window for some natural air. If you can’t live without your air conditioner, set it at between 25℃ and 27℃ for the most energy-efficient (节能的) temperature. ◆Wise up to (意识到) recycling You don’t need us to tell you how important it is to reduce, reuse and recycle. Becoming a less “throw away” society is a great message to pass on. Don’t throw away perfectly good things just because you are sick of them, or no longer use them. Instead, give them to others or list them on a free collection site online. ◆Know more about nature There’s no better way to know about the environment than by getting yourself outdoors and into nature! Whether it’s raining or sunny, you can know about the environment. 49．How many ways of going green are there in the text? 50．According to the writer, what can we do to avoid food waste? 51．Do you think it is necessary for us to get ourselves outdoors and into nature? Why? 52．How green are you in your daily life? Write 30 words or more. Passage 13（2025·辽宁 鞍山市立山区中考 ·二模） Do you ever feel like your study habits simply don’t work? Do you wonder what you could be doing to perform better in class and on exams? Then maybe you need to study smarter not harder. Here are some important tips for you: Reading is not studying. Simply reading and re-reading texts or notes is not really getting into the material. Getting into the work is the process of making meaning from text. This includes making connections to lessons, forming examples and planning your own learning. Organization and planning will help you to really study for your courses. When studying for a test, organize your materials first and then begin your active reviewing by topic. It’s good to be intense (严肃、紧张). Not all studying is equal (同等的). You will achieve more if you study intensively. Intensive study times are short and will allow you to get work done with the least wasted effort. Shorter, intensive study times are more effective (有效率的) than drawn out studying. In fact, one of the best study strategies is to break up your study time into different parts. Intensive study times can last 30 or 45 minutes and include active studying strategies (策略). And then take a break. This way, you are much more likely to stay focused and remember the information. Silence isn’t golden. Know where you study best. The silence of a library may not be the best place for you. It’s important to consider what noise environment works best for you. You might find that you concentrate (集中注意力) better with some background noise. Some people find that listening to classical music while studying helps them concentrate, while others find this stops them concentrating. The point is that the silence of the library may be just as bad (or worse) than the noise of a gymnasium. 53．According to the text, what is the process of really studying for your courses (课程)? 54．What will allow you to get work done with the least wasted effort? 55．What does the underlined word “drawn out” in Paragraph 3 probably mean? 56．What do you learn from this passage? (Write 30 words or more) Passage 14（2025·辽宁铁岭市中考 ·二模） Black Myth (神话): Wukong—A Rising Star in the Gaming World Black Myth: Wukong is very popular among games. It’s a game full of action.

I have failed my final-year exam though I studied so hard for it. Life is so unfair. Now I wonder if it is better for me to join the working world or to repeat my studies. Love, Fred Dear Fred, I am sorry to hear what you’re experiencing. But I have to be a little strict with you for your own good. I heard from your friends that you spent an awful lot of time on tennis and other sports. Don’t you think that may have had something to do with your failure? Your grades were already getting worse in your second year. That should have been a clear signal (信号) for you to re-look at your schedule (日程安排). Another thing is that I know you have a habit of not getting up until 10:00 am. You are oversleeping! Have you heard of the story of The Hare and the Tortoise? It’s only through consistent (始终如一的) hard work that the tortoise finally beats the hare. Right now, however, I am most disappointed with you over something else. How can you even think about not repeating your final year? That would be another mistake and I will not allow you to do it. You must forget the past and start all over again from the beginning. You have been given a second chance and not everyone gets the second chance like this. Take it and show what you are really made of. If you-can show such determination (决心) in sports, you can show even greater courage in your studies. We all make mistakes in life. The biggest would be not to try to correct them. Uncle John 61．What happened to Fred? 62．What caused Fred’s problem according to Uncle John? 63．What was Uncle John’s suggestion at the end of the letter? 64．Do you agree with Uncle John’s opinion? Why or why not? Write 30 words or more. Passage 16（2025·辽宁营口市盖州市中考 ·二模） China is taking important steps in a three-year “Weight Management Year” program from 20241 to 2027. This is mainly because obesity (肥胖) can lead to serious health problems, like high blood pressure and heart illness. Here’s what you should know about the new guidelines. Checking your BMI (身体质量指数) is necessary. For adults, a healthy BMI is between18. 5 and 24. A BMI between 24 and 28, means you are overweight, and 28 or higher means obesity. Also, doctors suggest men keep their waists (腰围) under 90 cm and women under 85cm. Eating well is basic. Choose brown rice, fresh vegetables, fish, chicken, or beans. The guidelines even include special dishes like “stewed fish” (清炖鱼)from Northeast China or “noodles with chili oil” (辣椒油面条) from the Northwest. This makes healthy eating more attractive. Exercise is important as well. Try to do 150-300 minutes of activities such as walking. cycling, or dancing each week, along with strength exercises twice a week. If you sit for long while studying, stand up and move your body every hour. Small daily habits are also influential. Teens should get 7 hours of sleep nightly as poor sleep can cause to be overweight. Eating vegetables first, then meat, and finally rice or bread can help control how much food you eat. Schools and communities are also joining in. Shanghai schools promise students exercise at least two hours a day and hospitals offer weight controlling services. Remember, losing weight doesn’t mean being perfection. Just begin with small changes, and everyone can build a healthier future. 65．Why does China begin a three-year “Weight Management Year” program? 66．List two methods of weight management mentioned in the passage. 67．How do schools in Shanghai support this program? 68．Do you think it necessary to begin this program? Why or why not? Write 30 words or more. Passage 17（2025·辽宁丹东市凤城市中考 ·二模） Media designers are using AI to create artistic pet images (图像) , such as fashionable cat models, attracting ad makers and businesses. Since April last year, Chen Jian has got a large following on social media by posting AI-generated (生成) images of cats copying human behavior. One of his most popular posts shows a cat practicing baduanjin, a traditional Chinese fitness exercise. It has received over 160,000 likes. Chen’s work is among more than 140,000 posts on a certain media platform with the keywords “AI” and “pets”, mostly presenting animal images doing human activities like dressing up, dancing, taking exams, and posing for photos. Chen, in his thirties, works as an art designer at an internet company in Shanghai. He studied the text-to-image AI tool Mid-journey in 2022. “I picked up new skills in my spare time, fearing that AI might replace (取代) designers one day,” Chen said. His goal was to use AI tools to improve his design abilities. Chen’s idea of the exercising cat came from his personal experience. He had a health problem at that time, and a traditional Chinese medicine doctor advised him to do baduanjin to build up his body. As he practiced the exercises himself, he encouraged people around him to join and then created AI-generated cat images to raise public awareness (认识) about health. “AI tools were becoming popular, yet many people knew little about them. Moreover, there were hardly any human-like pet images generated by AI, which probably explains why my work caught people’s strong interest,” Chen said. Today, with over 50,000 fans, he has attracted attention from businesses. He chose to work with some well-known milk tea makers, car companies, and internet app developers. “Working with them makes more people notice my work, which is a win-win situation,” Chen said. Looking ahead, Chen wants to move beyond text and images, exploring AI-generated video creation. 69．What helped Chen Jian get a large following on social media? 70．Why did Chen Jian start to learn AI tools? 71．What will Chen do in future? 72．How does AI influence your life?

In 2020, he started a community recycling program to offer help to the football clubs in his hometown, Wyre. It now has 3,000 participants (参与者). When Brian was 11, he played football with Fleetwood Town F.C． The club was new and needed money to travel to Premier League. Brian came up with a plan. “There are bottles always thrown around the road,” he said. In Wyre, these can be collected for money. With his father’s help, Brian started a bottle drive. Since then, Brian’s recycling effort has raised 35,000 pounds and helped at least 20 local youth groups. It has also stopped more than 200,000 bottles from littering the roadside and polluting Wyre’s lakes and rivers. “It’s kept our community a lot cleaner,” Brian says. In 2023, Brian won the Duke of Edinburgh’s Prize for young heroes. The prize goes to kids and teenagers working to help others and protecting Planet Earth. “I’m happy to know that all these clubs and kids around the community are benefiting.” Brian says, when he was asked about all he’s finished with his cleanup effort. Brian believes everyone can and should do something useful. “Just do a little bit to help make the world a little bit better,” he says. “Be creative,” he adds. “Have an idea and build on it.” 73．What did Brian do to help the football clubs in his hometown in 2020? 74．How much money has Brian raised since he started a bottle drive? 75．Why did Brian win the Duke of Edinburgh’s Prize for young heroes? 76．How do you protect the environment?

Passage 19（2025·辽宁朝阳市第四中学 ·二模） Confucius said, “For rites, it is always desirable to be simple rather than excessive.” (子曰：“礼，与其奢也，宁俭。”) In ancient China, people valued frugality (节俭) as a basic way of life. Today we should still remember the ancient teachings and value what we have. But sadly some people don’t understand the real meaning of the ancient teachings. They often order more dishes than they can eat in a restaurant. Surveys show that, on average, 93 grams of food is wasted by each person having dinner in a restaurant. In 2013, the “Clean Your Plate” campaign (行动) was started in China. It calls on people to reduce food waste. The “Clean Your Plate” campaign was positively received by restaurant owners and the public. The restaurants have done something to carry out the campaign. Small notices about saving food are put on the tables of restaurants to remind diners (用餐者) to only order as much as they can eat. And more and more waiters are now reminding diners to stop ordering more if they think they have ordered enough to fill their stomachs. What’s more, the awareness of reducing food waste is also increasing among diners. During the eight-day Chinese New Year holiday in 2024, Liu Han managed to avoid food waste during many festival dinners. He is a young man who lives in Beijing. Dining out with friends four times during the holiday, Liu carefully planned each meal to stop food waste. He turned to restaurant apps for group-buying deals. And he got to know dish sizes by looking at tables around him. Also, he double-checked with waiters to stop over-ordering. The “Clean Your Plate” campaign is so meaningful that it reminds us that we should value what we have. 77．What is the purpose of the “Clean Your Plate” campaign? 78．Who welcomed the “Clean Your Plate” campaign? 79．List two examples of Liu Han’s act to reduce food waste. 80．What do you think of Liu Han’s act?

With the help of cameras and AI, the robot dog can see, listen and speak with blind people. Blind people can also use a cane (手杖) to control the robot’s walking and running speed. The robot can even recognize traffic lights—real guide dogs are unable to do that. The robot dog is about the size of an English bulldog but a little wider. It has six legs instead of four. The other two legs make it more steady (稳定的) and help it move faster. 41-year-old Li Fei and 42-year-old Zhu Sibin are helping test the robot. Li is totally blind and Zhu can only see a little. “The robot dog will make it easier to get into public places. It could change our lives in the near future,” Li said. In China, there are about 17.31 million blind people, but there are only about 400 guide dogs. The new robot is trying to solve this problem. “We believe our robot will act as ‘a pair of eyes’ for blind people,” said Professor Gao Feng, one of the scientists. He thinks there could be a large market for these robot dogs. 1．How can the robot dog see, listen and speak with blind people? 2．How many legs does the robot dog have? 3．What will the new robot act as for blind people? 4．Do you agree with Li Fei’s opinion?

Passage 2（2025·辽宁沈阳市铁西区 ·二模） One day, our English teacher Mr. White came into the classroom with a book in his hand. He started his lesson with a question, “Who can describe what stress is like?” No one answered. Then he raised the book and asked, “How heavy is the book?” On hearing the question, we began to think and guess. One student said, “I think it is 100g.” Another student said, “It’s 200g.” Our answers were different. Finally, Mr. White explained, “It doesn’t only depend on the real weight. It also has much to do with the time we hold it. If I hold it for a minute, it is OK. If I hold it for an hour, I will have a pain in my right arm. If I hold it for a day, I will have to see a doctor. It is the exact same weight, but the longer I hold it, the heavier it becomes.” “This book is just like stress,” he continued. “If you hold it without putting it down, sooner or later, you will not be able to keep on. No matter how much stress you have, stop and have a rest for a while if possible.” We all thanked Mr. White for giving such a meaningful lesson which made a difference to us. 5．How did Mr. White start his lesson one day? 6．How long did Mr. White say he could hold the book before his arm hurt? 7．What did Mr. White compare the book to? 8．What do you think of Mr. White’s advice on reducing stress?

But each country has different customs (习俗). As a German living in China, I’ve seen some interesting differences from home. For example, in China, people often give fruits and milk. In Europe, these are usually for hospital visits. Many Europeans open their gifts right away, although not in places like Germany. It’s also important to take off the price tag (标签) before giving the gift. What if you don’t like your gift? In Spain, you still need to say you love the gift so you won’t hurt the other person’s feelings. But if they remember to leave the receipt (收据) inside the gift, you can just change it for something else. How the gift looks is also important. However, by using wrapping paper (包装纸) for every gift we buy, we make a lot of waste. Now, many are choosing newspapers or maps as wrappings to help the environment. Do Europeans give money as gifts? Yes. Polish couples, for example, often want cash at weddings (婚礼) to cover the cost of the weddings. Finally, remember: It’s the thought that counts, not the price of the gift. 9．Which country does the writer come from? 10．Why are people choosing newspapers or maps as wrappings now? 11．According to the writer, which is more important for a gift, the thought or the price of it? 12．What is the best gift you have ever received and why? Write 30 words or more. 【答案】9．Germany. 10．To help the environment. 11．The thought. 12．The best gift I’ve received is a guitar from my father. He knew I loved music and saved money to buy it.

Passage 4（2025·辽宁沈阳市沈河区中考 ·二模） Teamwork Makes a Difference During the summer vacation, I took part in a summer camp in Chengdu. There I made many friends and had some extraordinary (非凡的) experiences. I saw lovely pandas, visited some museums, and had hot pot. However, the most impressive part for me was the teamwork. One day, after watching the pandas, making differently shaped food for them to eat, and cutting bamboo leaves, the teacher asked us to create a mind map of what we had learned and experienced over those days. I worked on it with my three new friends. We came up with a lot of different ideas and we decided to work together. I was in charge of the writing part. We finished it as quickly as possible. When the four of us shared it with others, I felt proud. It can be hard to do a task alone. But in some ways, teamwork is even more challenging. It needs us to communicate well, set clear goals, play our own roles, and trust and respect each other. But the fruit of teamwork can be very sweet! 13．Did the author have hot pot? 14．When did the teacher ask the author to create a mind map? 15．How did the author feel when the author’s team shared the mind map? 16．According to the last paragraph, teamwork needs us to communicate well, set clear goals, play our own roles, and trust and respect each other. Well, which do you think is the most important? Why? Write 30 words or more. 【答案】13．Yes, the author had hot pot. 14．After watching the pandas, making food for them, and cutting bamboo leaves. 15．The author felt proud. 16．I think communication is the most important.

We’re going to talk about what you would like to invent. Let your imagination run wild and post your thoughts below. —Andrew, Student Union President Students have a lot of homework. They often go to bed late and wake up early for school. I’d like to invent a machine to help you get ready in the morning without waking you up. It would carefully pick you up, take you to the bathroom and brush your teeth. It would get you dressed and set you down at the dining room table. Then it would gently wake you for breakfast. You’d be ready for school on time while still getting a good night’s sleep! —Michelle, from Grade 8 I’d invent a time machine that could take us to any day in history. We would finally be able to answer questions like “What killed the dinosaurs?” Just think how different all the world would be if every question about history life would be answered. We would know almost everything. And we could visit the past or the future to see how humanity (人类) has changed. Imagine visiting your ancestors! Imagine going to the future to tell people about life in the past! Just think about all that fun! —Troy, from Grade 8 A flying car! You could go anywhere you wanted. It could prevent traffic jams during rush hour. We wouldn’t have to build as many highways. There would be more space to plant trees. The air would be cleaner.

Passage 6（2025·辽宁本溪市中考 ·二模） Did you know that a lot of pollution in the world comes from inside your home—bricks (砖块)? What if nature could help us make bricks in a cleaner way? In fact, scientists are working on making bricks out of mushrooms right now. For example, Professor Han Wosten and his team at Utrecht University in the Netherlands are creating mushroom bricks. They mix mushrooms with straw (稻草) and the mushrooms grow on the straw for about two weeks. Then they can be made into different materials. “If we press it, we can get something like hardboard,” Wosten said. Making mushroom bricks creates much less CO2 than materials like cement (水泥). They are also biodegradable (可生物降解的), so we don’t have to worry about them polluting the land when they are thrown away. Mushroom materials can also fix themselves. If the floor in your house is broken, you can re-grow mushrooms to fix it. There is still a lot of research to do, though. “It’s very early to say your house will be all made of mushrooms,” said researcher Phil Ayres. Still, progress is being made, and the future of mushroom materials looks bright. 21．What is hardboard made of? 22．Why don’t mushroom bricks pollute the land when they are thrown away? 23．How can we fix a wall made of mushroom bricks? 24．As a teenager, what do you think you can do to help improve the environment? (Write 30 words or more.) 【答案】21．Mushrooms and straw. / It’s made of mushrooms and straw. 22．Because they are biodegradable. / They are biodegradable. 23．By re-growing mushrooms (to fix it). / We can re-grow mushrooms (to fix it). 24．I think I can take the bus instead of riding in cars. I can turn off the light when I leave a room. And I can use reusable bags instead of plastic bags. 【知识点】科普知识、说明文 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，介绍蘑菇砖头的相关内容。 21．根据第二段“They mix mushrooms with straw (稻草) and the mushrooms grow on the straw for about two weeks. Then they can be made into different materials. ‘If we press it, we can get something like hardboard,’ Wosten said.”可知，硬板是由蘑菇和稻草制成的。故填Mushrooms and straw. / It’s made of mushrooms and straw. 22．根据“Making mushroom bricks creates much less CO2 than materials like cement (水泥). They are also biodegradable (可生物降解的), so we don’t have to worry about them polluting the land when they are thrown away.”可知，因为它们是可生物降解的，所以当扔掉它们时，蘑菇砖不会污染土地。故填Because they are biodegradable. / They are biodegradable. 23．根据“If the floor in your house is broken, you can re-grow mushrooms to fix it.”可知，我们可以通过使用可重新生长的蘑菇来修理一面墙。故填By re-growing mushrooms (to fix it). / We can re-grow mushrooms (to fix it)。 24．本题为开放性习题。注意字数要求，言之有理即可。故填I think I can take the bus instead of riding in cars.

Passage 7（2025·辽宁 辽阳市部分学校中考 ·二模） One afternoon in a bookstore, I found a book called The Last Days of Old Beijing (《再会, 老北京》) by a US writer Michael Meyer. The name caught my eyes and made me think about my home city, Beijing, and its past. Meye’s writing takes us back in time to Beijing about 20 years ago. In 2005, Meyer moved into a shared courtyard (庭院) home in one of Beijing’s oldest neighborhoods, Dashilan, on one of its hutong. There he taught English at a local school and became the only Westerner there living among local people. Meyer saw some of the great changes this neighborhood went through. The old houses made way for high-rise buildings and shopping malls. However, some parts of old Beijing’s culture stayed strong in the face of rapid change. People still kept traditions like putting up Spring Festival couplets and artists worked hard to pass down skills like acrobatics (杂技) . Meyer shows us how these traditions helped people hold onto their roots as old buildings went away around them. I was born in Beijing in the 2010s, so I know more about the city’s modern side. Reading The Last Days of Old Beijing opened my eyes to new sides of the city that I hadn’t seen before. Those small details (细节) of daily life in the old neighborhoods touched my heart. 25．Who was the book The Last Days of Old Beijing written by? 26．Where did Meyer work after he moved into a shared courtyard home in 2005? 27．Why were there fewer and fewer old houses in Beijing? 28．Would you like to visit Beijing during your vacation? Why? Write 30 words or more. 【答案】25．(A US writer called) Michael Meyer. 26．At a local school (in Beijing). 27．Because they made way for high-rise buildings and shopping malls. 28．Yes. Because I want to learn more about the history and culture of Beijing. I want to visit some places of interest, such as the Great Wall, the Palace Museum and the Summer Palace. What’s more, I'd like to taste some snacks, such as Beijing duck. I can’t wait to take the trip to Beijing. (合理即可) 【知识点】城市、说明文 【导语】本文是主要讲述了作者在书店看到一本迈克尔·迈耶写的《再会，老北京》，作者是土生土长的北京人，因此对这座城市了解更多，但是《再会，老北京》让作者看到了这座城市的新面貌，让作者了解到了很多他以前从未见过的东西。 25．根据第一段“One afternoon in a bookstore, I found a book called The Last Days of Old Beijing (《再会，老北京》) by a US writer Michael Meyer.”可知，美国作家迈克尔·迈耶写的《再会，老北京》。故填 (A US writer called) Michael Meyer. 26．根据第二段“There he taught English at a local school and became the only Westerner there living among local people.”可知，迈耶在2005年搬进了一个共享庭院住宅后在当地一所学校工作。故填At a local school (in Beijing). 27．根据第三段“The old houses made way for high-rise buildings and shopping malls.”可知，这些老房子被高楼和购物中心所取代，所以，这就是旧房子逐渐减少的原因。故填Because they made way for high-rise buildings and shopping malls. 28．通读全文和对北京的了解可知，“我”非常想在假期去北京。那里有许多著名的历史文化遗迹，如故宫和长城，可以让我更好地了解中国的悠久历史。同时，北京的现代化建设也十分发达，我想感受一下这座古老与现代融合的城市魅力。故填Yes.

(合理即可) Passage 8（2025·辽宁朝阳市双塔区一中联盟校中考 ·二模） On January 20, 2025, a Chinese tech company named DeepSeek made a new AI called DeepSeek-R1. This smart program can solve math problems, write code and answer questions like top models such as OpenAT’s GPT-40, but it costs much less to build. The team spent only $5.58 million (1/70 of OpenAI’s cost) and used 2, 048 computer chips (芯片) for two months. This shows that good ideas can beat big money. DeepSeek-RI learns by trying many times and getting better, like how students practice maths. Other AIs need lots of prepared examples, but R1 improves by itself. For example, in a global math test, it got 79.8% right, slightly higher than OpenAI’s model. A simple version (版本) of R1 can even run on low-cost computers, helping schools and small companies. DeepSeek-R1 is free to use and change. On its first day online, over 19, 000 programmers worldwide started projects to study it. A German scientist said experiments with R1 cost $10 instead of $300 with other AIs. Even Meta (a famous U.S. tech company) top scientist said, “This kind of free AI could change the world.” U.S. tech companies are worried. Meta plans to spend $65 billion more on AI research. Experts say China is catching up fast. A report in Nature magazine called R1 a “big step forward”, proving that smart ideas beat expensive tools. As a DeepSeek engineer said, “We want AI to be a friend, not something only rich people can use.” With R1, China shows the world that great things come from new ideas and hard work, not just money. 29．How much did it cost to create DeepSeck-R1? 30．What can the simple version of RI do? 31．Where’s the tech company Meta? 32．As a middle school student, what do you think of DeepSeek?

However, we shouldn’t spend so much time on it. Indeed, if we spent all day worrying about how our actions make us appear, we’d never get anything done. So, how do we learn to ignore others’ opinions? Well, the answer is about learning to value who we are. It means that we should live our lives for ourselves, not for other people. There are a couple of ways to go about doing this. First, we should remember that our biggest judges (裁判) are ourselves. If we have a low opinion of ourselves, then we think that others feel the same way about us. To get over this, British therapist (心理治疗师) Chloe Brotheridge wrote in Psychology Today that we should “learn to love ourselves”. For example, you can make a list of the things you’ re good at and practice them every day. You can also spend more time with people who love you instead of with those who don’t. These things can help you feel better about yourself. Second, as Brotheridge wrote, “We can’t control the way other people react to us, no matter how hard we try.” By realizing this, you can learn to focus more on things that make you unique (与众不同的). In addition, we shouldn’t completely forget about how we act around other people. After all, nobody likes to have someone jump ahead of them in a queue (长队), for example. So, the best thing to remember is to always be nice to others. 37．How many suggestions does the writer give us about living our lives for ourselves? 38．Where does Chloe Brotheridge come from? 39．What is the best thing to remember? 40．Is it important for us to learn to love ourselves?

The first skill I learned was making dough (面团). In my hometown of Ningxia, people make noodles from the start of the evening.

Do your bit to save the planet as well by planning your meals for the week, so you only buy what you need. ◆Use reusable bottles Earth Day is a great time for you to drink from reusable water bottles when you’re out and about.

Do you wonder what you could be doing to perform better in class and on exams? Then maybe you need to study smarter not harder. Here are some important tips for you: Reading is not studying. Simply reading and re-reading texts or notes is not really getting into the material. Getting into the work is the process of making meaning from text. This includes making connections to lessons, forming examples and planning your own learning. Organization and planning will help you to really study for your courses. When studying for a test, organize your materials first and then begin your active reviewing by topic. It’s good to be intense (严肃、紧张). Not all studying is equal (同等的). You will achieve more if you study intensively. Intensive study times are short and will allow you to get work done with the least wasted effort. Shorter, intensive study times are more effective (有效率的) than drawn out studying. In fact, one of the best study strategies is to break up your study time into different parts. Intensive study times can last 30 or 45 minutes and include active studying strategies (策略). And then take a break. This way, you are much more likely to stay focused and remember the information. Silence isn’t golden. Know where you study best. The silence of a library may not be the best place for you. It’s important to consider what noise environment works best for you. You might find that you concentrate (集中注意力) better with some background noise. Some people find that listening to classical music while studying helps them concentrate, while others find this stops them concentrating. The point is that the silence of the library may be just as bad (or worse) than the noise of a gymnasium. 53．According to the text, what is the process of really studying for your courses (课程)? 54．What will allow you to get work done with the least wasted effort? 55．What does the underlined word “drawn out” in Paragraph 3 probably mean? 56．What do you learn from this passage? (Write 30 words or more) 【答案】53．Making meaning from text. 54．Intensive study times. 55．Long. 56．I learn some important tips about performing better in class and on exams. Firstly, we should make meaning from text. Secondly, we can break up our study time into different parts. Thirdly, we should know where we study best. 【知识点】说明文、意见/建议 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了如何更聪明地学习，而不是更努力地学习，文章提供了几条重要的学习建议。 53．根据“Getting into the work is the process of making meaning from text.”可知，真正的学习是从文本中构建意义。故填Making meaning from text. 54．根据“Intensive study times are short and will allow you to get work done with the least wasted effort.”可知，密集的学习时间很短，可以让你用最少的精力完成工作。故填Intensive study times. 55．根据“Intensive study times are short and will allow you to get work done with the least wasted effort.

Passage 16（2025·辽宁营口市盖州市中考 ·二模） China is taking important steps in a three-year “Weight Management Year” program from 20241 to 2027. This is mainly because obesity (肥胖) can lead to serious health problems, like high blood pressure and heart illness. Here’s what you should know about the new guidelines. Checking your BMI (身体质量指数) is necessary. For adults, a healthy BMI is between18. 5 and 24. A BMI between 24 and 28, means you are overweight, and 28 or higher means obesity. Also, doctors suggest men keep their waists (腰围) under 90 cm and women under 85cm. Eating well is basic. Choose brown rice, fresh vegetables, fish, chicken, or beans. The guidelines even include special dishes like “stewed fish” (清炖鱼)from Northeast China or “noodles with chili oil” (辣椒油面条) from the Northwest. This makes healthy eating more attractive. Exercise is important as well. Try to do 150-300 minutes of activities such as walking. cycling, or dancing each week, along with strength exercises twice a week. If you sit for long while studying, stand up and move your body every hour. Small daily habits are also influential. Teens should get 7 hours of sleep nightly as poor sleep can cause to be overweight. Eating vegetables first, then meat, and finally rice or bread can help control how much food you eat. Schools and communities are also joining in. Shanghai schools promise students exercise at least two hours a day and hospitals offer weight controlling services. Remember, losing weight doesn’t mean being perfection. Just begin with small changes, and everyone can build a healthier future. 65．Why does China begin a three-year “Weight Management Year” program? 66．List two methods of weight management mentioned in the passage. 67．How do schools in Shanghai support this program? 68．Do you think it necessary to begin this program?

Since April last year, Chen Jian has got a large following on social media by posting AI-generated (生成) images of cats copying human behavior. One of his most popular posts shows a cat practicing baduanjin, a traditional Chinese fitness exercise. It has received over 160,000 likes. Chen’s work is among more than 140,000 posts on a certain media platform with the keywords “AI” and “pets”, mostly presenting animal images doing human activities like dressing up, dancing, taking exams, and posing for photos. Chen, in his thirties, works as an art designer at an internet company in Shanghai. He studied the text-to-image AI tool Mid-journey in 2022. “I picked up new skills in my spare time, fearing that AI might replace (取代) designers one day,” Chen said. His goal was to use AI tools to improve his design abilities. Chen’s idea of the exercising cat came from his personal experience. He had a health problem at that time, and a traditional Chinese medicine doctor advised him to do baduanjin to build up his body. As he practiced the exercises himself, he encouraged people around him to join and then created AI-generated cat images to raise public awareness (认识) about health. “AI tools were becoming popular, yet many people knew little about them. Moreover, there were hardly any human-like pet images generated by AI, which probably explains why my work caught people’s strong interest,” Chen said. Today, with over 50,000 fans, he has attracted attention from businesses. He chose to work with some well-known milk tea makers, car companies, and internet app developers. “Working with them makes more people notice my work, which is a win-win situation,” Chen said. Looking ahead, Chen wants to move beyond text and images, exploring AI-generated video creation. 69．What helped Chen Jian get a large following on social media? 70．Why did Chen Jian start to learn AI tools? 71．What will Chen do in future? 72．How does AI influence your life?

When Brian was 11, he played football with Fleetwood Town F.C． The club was new and needed money to travel to Premier League. Brian came up with a plan. “There are bottles always thrown around the road,” he said. In Wyre, these can be collected for money. With his father’s help, Brian started a bottle drive. Since then, Brian’s recycling effort has raised 35,000 pounds and helped at least 20 local youth groups. It has also stopped more than 200,000 bottles from littering the roadside and polluting Wyre’s lakes and rivers. “It’s kept our community a lot cleaner,” Brian says.

Passage 19（2025·辽宁朝阳市第四中学 ·二模） Confucius said, “For rites, it is always desirable to be simple rather than excessive.” (子曰：“礼，与其奢也，宁俭。”) In ancient China, people valued frugality (节俭) as a basic way of life. Today we should still remember the ancient teachings and value what we have. But sadly some people don’t understand the real meaning of the ancient teachings. They often order more dishes than they can eat in a restaurant. Surveys show that, on average, 93 grams of food is wasted by each person having dinner in a restaurant. In 2013, the “Clean Your Plate” campaign (行动) was started in China. It calls on people to reduce food waste. The “Clean Your Plate” campaign was positively received by restaurant owners and the public. The restaurants have done something to carry out the campaign. Small notices about saving food are put on the tables of restaurants to remind diners (用餐者) to only order as much as they can eat. And more and more waiters are now reminding diners to stop ordering more if they think they have ordered enough to fill their stomachs. What’s more, the awareness of reducing food waste is also increasing among diners. During the eight-day Chinese New Year holiday in 2024, Liu Han managed to avoid food waste during many festival dinners. He is a young man who lives in Beijing. Dining out with friends four times during the holiday, Liu carefully planned each meal to stop food waste. He turned to restaurant apps for group-buying deals. And he got to know dish sizes by looking at tables around him. Also, he double-checked with waiters to stop over-ordering. The “Clean Your Plate” campaign is so meaningful that it reminds us that we should value what we have. 77．What is the purpose of the “Clean Your Plate” campaign? 78．Who welcomed the “Clean Your Plate” campaign? 79．List two examples of Liu Han’s act to reduce food waste. 80．What do you think of Liu Han’s act?
