No, it’s not a package (包裹). It’s the amazing coconut (椰子)! The coconut is different from most other fruits because every part of it is useful. People have been using coconuts in many different ways. Here are some of them. One exciting use of the coconut is as a kind of energy. Scientists are working on using coconuts for energy because they are cheap and clean. Coconut oil has already been made into fuel (燃料). It can power cars, trucks, ships and many more. Students at Baylor University find that coconut husks (外壳) can take in water very well. So mixing coconut husks with dry soil (土壤) helps the soil to hold onto more of the water. The students also find that coconut husks can take the place of plastic in some cases. If this is possible, it will help people use less plastic. The husk of the coconut is a perfect package. It protects the coconut from harm. That’s why some countries allow people to send the coconut without any packaging. Each year, tourists post about 3,000 of these “coconut postcards”. Coconuts grow naturally in over 80 countries of the world. They require only sun and proper rain. No special care is needed. Every year, more than 61 million tons of coconuts are produced. It is not surprising, then, that people want to find so many uses for the coconut. 1．Why is the coconut different from most other fruits? A．Stamps can be put on it. B．Every part of it is useful. C．People send it in a package. D．Addresses can be written on it. 2．What does the underlined word “power” in Paragraph 2 mean? A．Make room for. B．Add value to. C．Provide energy for.

They were the first people to live in New Zealand.     In the late 18th century, Europeans came to live in New Zealand. At that time, the population of the Maori was maybe 250,000 in New Zealand. Over the next one hundred years, wars and disease killed many Maori people. By the end of the 19th century, there were only about 40,000 Maori people left. During this time, the Maori also lost much of their land to the Europeans. Many of them were afraid that they might lose their traditions and language too, but this did not happen. Today the Maori population is increasing. There are about 500,000 Maori people in New Zealand. Most live like other New Zealanders, but they are keeping the Maori language and traditions alive. There are now Maori radio and television stations. Many schools teach in the Maori language. Nearly one half of Maori language speakers are 25 years old or younger. Maori culture is also alive and well. At the center of Maori culture is the “marae”. This is a special place for ceremonies and meetings. Today the number of marae in New Zealand is increasing. Many of the new marae are in the cities. Now people in the cities can meet and learn about their Maori traditions. Today most New Zealand cities have Maori festivals each year. Among festival activities are competitions in speaking, dancing and singing. Children practice for months. Then all the Maori in the area arrive to watch the competitions and see who wins. The Maori have gone through hard times. Today they live a comfortable, modern life. They keep their cultural traditions alive, because they have passed and are passing them on to their children. 1．When did the Maori first arrive in New Zealand? A．Around 11th century.

They do not know exactly why yawning happens, but they do know many facts about yawning. We know that everyone yawns in the same way. First you open your mouth slowly. Your mouth stays open for about five seconds. You take in a lot of air and then push it out. Then you quickly close your mouth. We also know that yawning is contagious. When you see someone yawn, you yawn, too. Many people say they yawn because they are bored or tired. That might be true. People do often yawn before they sleep and after they wake up. However, we know that people also yawn when they are excited or nervous. Olympic runners, for example, often yawn before a race. Why is that? In 2007, scientists found that a yawn can help a warm brain cool down. Some scientists believe that yawning makes you notice things more quickly. When you yawn, you breathe deeply. You also stretch (强化) the muscles (肌肉) in your face, mouth, and neck. Your eardrums stretch, too. Maybe this helps you to be quicker to notice things. In some countries, people think yawning is not nice. People put their hands over their mouths to cover a yawn. In other countries, people think yawning is healthy. They think that opening the mouth very big can let good things in. When they breathe out, they think that bad things go out of the body with the air. Scientists do not spend much time studying yawning. That is probably because yawning does not hurt. It is just something we do. 1．What does the underlined word “contagious” in Paragraph 2 mean? A．Able to spread quickly. B．Able to breathe easily. C．Able to change easily. D．Able to sleep quickly. 2．Why do Olympic runners often yawn before a race? A．They are too tired or too bored. B．A yawn can let good things in. C．A yawn can help a warm brain cool down. D．A yawn can stretch the muscles in their faces. 3．What is the main idea of Paragraph 5? A．Reasons for yawning. B．Advantages of yawning. C．Disadvantages of yawning. D．Different ideas about yawning. 4．What can we probably infer from the passage? A．People use different ways to yawn. B．Scientists will do further research on yawning. C．It’s hard to notice things quickly while yawning. D．Some scientists think yawning is good for people. 5．What would be the best structure of the passage? A． B． C． D． 4.（2022·江西·中考真题） Improvements in technology often happen overnight. Some gadgets get smaller and faster. Others are replaced (代替) by newer things like smartphones. They can do hundreds of things. Here are some old gadgets that people used to use. ①________ Do you have a landline at home? These are phones that people plug (插入) into their living room walls. Mobile phones didn’t use to be so common at that time, so most families had a landline. But landlines only worked at home. What did people do when they were outside and needed to call someone? They looked for a pay phone! Then, most people had their own mobile phones and many homes no longer had landlines. ②________   People today store plenty of information online, or on SD cards. But in the 1980s and 1990s, people used to use floppy disks. The first floppy disks were large, expensive, and not very useful — each disk could store just 175 KB of information! Later, floppy disks got smaller and better. But even the best ones could only hold 1.44 MB．You would need three or four disks just for one song, and about 22,000 disks to match the storage (储存空间) available on a 32 GB phone! ③________   It’s easy to take photos today. People often have thousands just on their phones! But photos used to be expensive, and people took fewer of them. To take a photo, you had to buy a roll of film. This allowed you to take about 30 photos. After finishing the roll, you left it at a shop. The shop developed the photos to make them be seen, which you could collect after a few days. Technology changes all the time, and the gadgets we use today will one day be old. What do you think will be next to disappear? 1．What does the underlined word “gadgets” mean in Paragraph 1? A．Toys. B．Tools. C．Games. D．Phones. 2．Match the title with each paragraph. a. Goodbye Disks   b. Music to My Ears   c. Picture This   d. Call Me   e.

At its base（基座）was a life-size model elephant. Every half hour, something amazing happened. The whole clock came alive: Model birds, dragons, and people started to move. The clock’s inventor was an engineer named al-Jazari. He lived in Turkey. Al-Jazari was probably one of the greatest engineers in history. Some historians call him “the father of modern-day engineering.” We know about al-Jazari mostly from a book that he wrote. ________ They include clocks and hand-washing machines. The book also has drawings that show how each machine works. Many everyday things today-from toys to car engines（发动机）-still use al-Jazari’s ideas. Without his machines with moving parts, we might not have modern-day robots. Today, it is still possible to see what al-Jazari’s elephant cock looked like. A full-size working model is in Dubai’s Ibn Battuta Mall. There, every half hour, al-Jazari’s most amazing invention comes to life once again. How Does the Elephant Clock Work? A bowl with a small hole floats（浮）in a water tank（水箱）inside the elephant’s body. As the bowl slowly sinks（下沉）, it pulls a rope that moves a human figure. His moving pen shows the number of minutes past the hour. Every half hour, the water bowl becomes full and sinks completely. This causes a ball to fall from the top of the clock. The movement of the ball causes a phoenix to move and make a sound. The ball then drops out of a falcon’s mouth into the mouth of a Chinese dragon. The weight of the ball causes the dragon’s head to move down and the dragon’s tail pulls the water bowl back up. Finally, the ball drops out of the dragon’s mouth and into a vase. As the ball lands in the vase, the elephant driver moves and makes a sound. The cycle begins again until there are no more ball in the top of the clock. 1．Why is al-Jazari called “the father of modern-day engineering”? A．His ideas are still widely used in machines. B．The elephant clock is an amazing invention. C．His inventions include some parts of modern robots. D．His book about machines is still popular with readers. 2．Choose the best sentence to fill in the blank “________” in Paragraph 3. A．He became famous when he was a young man. B．He invented a lot of everyday machines in history. C．It describes a number of machines of all shapes and sizes. D．People in Turkey enjoy reading his books in their free time. 3．What does the underlined word “This” in Paragraph 7 refer to? A．The pen moves. B．The all drops. C．The bowl sinks completely. D．The bowl pulls the rope. 4．How does the elephant clock work? Put the steps in the correct order. a. The ball drops into the vase. b. The ball drops into the dragon’s mouth. c. The elephant driver moves and makes a sound. d. After 30 minutes, a ball starts to fall from the top. e. The bowl moves down in the water and pulls on ropes. A．b-d-a-c-e B．e-d-b-a-c C．a-e-b-d-c D．c-a-d-e-b 1.（2025·江西九江·三模） The Longtaitou Festival, also known as the Eryue’er Festival, is a traditional Chinese festival. It always falls on the second day of the second lunar month. The name means “dragon raising its head”, carrying a sense of hope. In Chinese ancient farming culture, this festival holds great importance. People believe that after the Longtaitou Festival, the rain will gradually increase. It is said that on this day the dragon king who is in control of rain will wake up from hibernation (冬眠) and lift his head. It marks the start of the busy farming season. The celebration of the Longtaitou Festival is rich in traditions. One of the most well-known customs is getting a haircut. Many people believe that cutting their hair in the first lunar month will bring bad fortune. And having a haircut on the Longtaitou Festival can bring good luck and success all the year. In some areas, dumplings, spring rolls, wontons and popcorn are all given dragon names on this day. Noodles are called dragon’s beard or longxu. Dumplings are dragon’s ears or long’er. Spring rolls are dragon’s scales or longlin. Wontons are dragon’s eyes or longyan. And popcorn is called dragon’s seeds or longzi. It’s said that eating these foods can bring good luck. In ancient times, there were even more customs. People used to spread ashes (灰) in the kitchen, with the belief that it could lead the dragon into the house. This was done to ask for a harvest (丰收) with the help of the dragon. However, as time goes by, some of these ancient customs have gradually died out. The Longtaitou Festival still holds a special place in the hearts of Chinese people. It serves not only as a festival but also as a symbol of our traditional culture. It acts as a bridge, connecting us with our history. 1．What do people believe will happen after the Longtaitou Festival? A．The weather will gradually be fine. B．The temperature will gradually rise. C．The wind will gradually become strong. D．The rain will gradually increase. 2．What does the underlined word “fortune” mean in Paragraph 3? A．Luck. B．Health. C．Start. D．Look. 3．Why do people get a haircut at the Longtaitou Festival? A．Because they want to look good. B．Because it is a tradition passed down.

A． B． C． D． 2.（2025·江西宜春·二模） How the Brain Cleans Itself According to some researchers, the brain is very active during sleep. One reason is probably that the brain appears to clean itself during sleeping hours. This idea has gotten the attention of researchers. This is because losing a good night’s sleep can cause people’s thinking to be unclear, while a lasting lack of sleep is believed to increase the risk of a serious brain illness. Then how does the brain clean itself? Over 12 years ago, scientists at the University of Rochester first reported finding a system in the brain. A water-like substance (物质) from the brain travels through channels (管道) near blood vessels (血管) to carry waste out of the brain. According to the study, the accumulation (堆积) of beta-amyloids (β淀粉样蛋白) has something to do with problems in the brain. When scientists injected (注射) mice with beta-amyloids, they left the brain faster when the animals were sleeping. It is not clear exactly how the system works. However, some research has shown that the movement of blood vessels might help move the waste-clearing substance where it needs to go. However, studying this system in humans has been challenging. Regular MRI scans (扫描检查) can show some of the channels, but they can’t show how the system works. To overcome this problem, the research team at Oregon Health & Science University injected a substance into five patients. It “lit up” during MRI scans 24 to 48 hours later. It was seen moving through the brain using the channels as in the earlier research on mice. This discovery is meaningful and will likely lead to further research on how brain waste clearance is linked to human health. “Researchers are now planning to measure (测量) glymphatic function (类淋巴功能) in people,” said Dr. Jeff Iliff who has helped lead the research. But he isn’t sure of the result. Besides the influence of sleep, animal studies show that a blood pressure drug might improve glymphatic (淋巴) clearing. Jeff and his workmates plan to study this drug in a group of patients. It seems that larger studies in healthy people are also needed. 1．What may happen if people lose a good night’s sleep? A．They will only be tired. B．They will find it hard to think clearly. C．They will feel much more excited. D．They will face a serious brain illness. 2．How did the scientists study the system in humans? A．They asked five patients to sleep. B．They took some pictures of blood vessels. C．They injected a special substance into themselves. D．They used MRI scans and a special substance to help. 3．What does the underlined word “linked” in Paragraph 6 mean? A．Connected. B．Compared. C．Similar. D．Used. 4．What will Dr. Jeff Iliff probably do in the future? A．He will work in the University of Washington. B．He will lead the waste-clearance research around the world. C．He will start to research how sleep influences the clearing. D．He will study how the drug helps to improve glymphatic clearing. 5．What would be the best structure of the passage? A． B． C． D． 3.（2025·江西宜春·三模） In China, more and more adults are becoming overweight. In fact, 34.8% of adults are overweight and 14.1% are obese (肥胖的). The number of obese people is growing faster than the number of those who are just overweight. Experts say that each year there are 5.4% more obese adults in China. Zhang Zhongtao, who works at Beijing Friendship Hospital, said that obesity was causing big health and money problems around the world. It is now a serious public health problem in China. By the year of 2030, it is expected that China will spend about 22% of all its healthcare money on problems related to being overweight or obese. At a meeting, Zhang asked people to pay more attention to obesity and how to manage weight. He believes that the government and society do not focus enough on this problem. “We hope to work with public charities to give help to obese patients who need to lose weight medically but can’t pay for it.” he said. He also explained why people become overweight. It is mainly because they eat more energy than they run out of. In the north of China, people like to eat noodles, and in the south, they prefer rice. Both foods have carbohydrates (碳水化合物), but eating noodles can make you gain more weight. Climate (气候) also affects people in the north. Because it’s colder, they like to eat foods with more calories, like fried chicken and chocolate, to stay warm. Obesity is a common problem and can lead to other diseases. This is why it’s so important to prevent and control obesity to help build a “Healthy China”. 1．How does Paragraph 1 tell the seriousness of the overweight problem in China? A．By giving examples. B．By listing some numbers. C．By asking some questions. D．By comparing with other countries. 2．What reasons for being overweight are true according to the passage? ①Eating too much. ②The climate in the north. ③Suffering from a disease. ④Preferring noodles to rice. ⑤Eating too late. ⑥Being in a poor sleep. A．①③④ B．②④⑥ C．①②④ D．②③⑤ 3．What can we probably infer from the passage? A．there are 5.4% more obese children in China each year. B．Rice and fried chicken are good for keeping out of the cold completely. C．People have full understanding about the problems of being overweight. D．Overweight and obese problems may cover fewer than a quarter of China’s medical cost. 4．Which of the following best shows the structure of the passage? A． B． C． D． 5．What is the passage mainly about? A．You are what you eat. B．How much you spend on losing weight. C．Rising obesity rates in China need attention. D．Overweight adults like to eat more food. 4.（2025·江西新余·三模） Taking trips to places with fewer people and beautiful natural scenery has become a trend in China. In other words, rural (乡村的) tourism is gaining popularity among Chinese tourists. Why? Here are some reasons. Wang Shang works for a Beijing-based company that helps organize countryside tours. She believes that experiencing a different lifestyle is an important reason why citizens travel to rural areas. Most of the visitors from cities are used to buying food in supermarkets. But in rural areas, they can easily get them on farms. They are used to watching high buildings and busy traffic. But in rural areas, they can enjoy more peaceful and clean rivers or mountains. Tourists’ expectations for rural tourism are not limited to enjoying natural scenery and experiencing the countryside life. Cao Yiqin, a 26-year-old tourist, told us that rural trips help her not only “enjoy the natural beauty” but also “reduce stress by escaping the busy city life and getting closer to nature”. Apart from the above reasons, the government encourages cultural companies and their employees to go to the countryside to help with local business. They have brought some great changes to the rural areas, including the renovation (翻新) of the buildings, the spread of rural culture, the processing of agricultural products, etc. The trend has also been pushed by some Chinese Internet stars. An Internet star has posted many videos of traditional Chinese rural life on the Internet and attracted a large number of viewers. 1．Which of the following is NOT the advantage of traveling to the countryside according to the passage? A．It helps people reduce stress. B．People can get closer to nature. C．People can get food on farms easily. D．People can enjoy farmers’ busy life. 2．What is the main idea of Paragraph 2? A．People are tired of city life. B．Rural life is better than city life. C．People want to experience a different life. D．Food on farms is healthier than that in supermarkets. 3．What does the underlined word “They” in Paragraph 4 refer to? A．The visitors from cities. B．The government officials. C．The people living in the countryside. D．The cultural companies and employees. 4．Which of the following best shows the structure of the passage? A．①/②③④⑤ B．①②③④/⑤ C．①/②③④/⑤ D．①②/③/④⑤ 5．What would be the best title for the passage? A．Tourists Travel in the Countryside B．Rural Tourism Becomes More Popular C．Chinese People Escape from the City Life D．The Government Encourages Rural Tourism 5.（2025·江西·二模） Living in a smart city means you are sharing information all the time. When you use an online map, the map will know where you are. When you watch a video online, the website will know what you like to watch. When you chat with someone on a game app, it will know who your friends are. These can make your life easier. But sometimes, others can get your information and misuse it. This can be dangerous. Here are some ways you can try to keep your information safe. Stop Apps from Tracking (追踪) You When you download an app, the app will ask if it can track you. Always choose “no”. Sometimes, ads appear suddenly. Don’t click (点击) on them, or the app may get more information about you. ▲ When someone sends you a friend request, you should take a look at his or her personal information. Do you have any friends in common? Where do they live? You should also check your privacy settings. So, a person can’t see anything you don’t want him or her to see. Think Before Scanning (扫描) Your Face Facial recognition (人脸识别) can help to find out who you are. But it is not always necessary to use the technology because it can give out your personal information. You can scan your face if you want to get a new passport at the police station.

D．Useful ways to use smart city services. 6.（2025·江西宜春·二模） The Pythagorean theorem (毕达哥拉斯定理) is a big math idea. It tells us that in a right triangle (直角三角形), the square of the longest side is equal (等于) to the sum of the squares of the other two sides. This is shown as a2+b2=c2. In school, it allows students to work out the length of the third side of a right triangle when the other two are known. In real life, it helps planes find the shortest way to fly. People who design buildings use this math idea too. When this idea first appeared, many mathematicians (数学家) tried to show it was true in different ways, and there are about 370 different ways to do this. In 1927, a mathematician named Elisha Loomis said that proving this with trigonometry (三角学) was impossible. His reason was that you can’t prove (证明) an idea is true by using the idea itself. However, a mathematician named Jason Zimba first proved it successfully in 2009. Two years ago, two high school students, Ne’ Kiya Jackson and Calcea Johnson, also found a way to prove the Pythagorean theorem based on trigonometry. In March 2023, the two showed their work at a math meeting. Publishing their findings was challenging, and they had to learn new skills. Encouraged by Zimba’s proof (证明), they developed more proofs. One of them includes filling a large triangle with smaller triangles and using math to find side lengths. This amazed other mathematicians. Jackson and Johnson also left five proofs for others to explore, which gives a starting point for more research. Their journey shows that exploring math is timeless and exciting, and the new way of thinking encourages more young mathematicians to be creative and challenge the norm (常态). 1．How does the writer start his passage in Paragraph 1? A．By giving examples. B．By listing numbers. C．By telling the differences. D．By asking a question. 2．Why was it thought to be impossible to prove the Pythagorean theorem with trigonometry? A．Trigonometry is only for measuring angles. B．The theorem doesn’t work with trigonometry. C．Mathematicians didn’t know much about triangles. D．Someone thought you can’t use the same idea to prove itself. 3．Who first proved the Pythagorean theorem with trigonometry? A．Jason Zimba. B．Elisha Loomis. C．Jason Zimba and Nuno Luzia. D．Ne’ Kiya Jackson and Calcea Johnson. 4．What does the underlined word “This” in Paragraph 3 refer to? A．Guessing something. B．Publishing their findings. C．Using math to find side lengths. D．Filling a small triangle with larger triangles. 5．What’s the writer’s purpose of writing the passage? A．To encourage students to explore maths. B．To tell a story about two students who like maths.

For example, Wang Hong, owner of a Beijing-style barbecue restaurant in Chaoyang district, has been offering free drinks to delivery drivers and street cleaners since 2012. More recently, he started a free meals project under the help of the neighborhood. For him, it’s personal. “When I first came to the city, I had nothing. People helped me even though they didn’t know me,” he said. “This is my way of giving back to society and teaching my child to be grateful.” Wang is not alone. Yushiji, a chain of restaurants specializing in lamb soup, is helping by offering discounted (打折的) meals to people in need. For just 12 yuan, customers can enjoy a hot, hearty meal that usually costs much more. Delivery workers like Fan Xingang, 41, who has been riding for 10 years, usually work for at least 10 hours a day in the cold winter. “My colleagues told me about the place offering discounted meals. It’s not just good for the low price,” Fan said. “It’s the respect and kindness they show us.” Beyond Beijing, similar activities have appeared in Shanghai, Tianjin, Heze and Yinchuan. The one warm meal on cold winter days helps more people in need. 1．Who can have free drinks in Wang Hong’s restaurant? A．Anyone. B．Customers. C．Old people and young children.

Taxis in Finland are mostly high-class Benz with a fare of two US dollars a kilometer. You can go anywhere in one, tell the driver to drop you at any place, say that you have some business to attend to, and then walk off without paying your fare. The driver would not be annoyed or worried. ③The dining rooms in all big hotels not only serve their guests, but also serve outside diners (就餐者). Hotel guests have their meals free, so they just go to the free dining rooms to have their meals. The most they would do to show their good faith is to wave their registration (登记) card to the waiter. With such a loose (松散的) check, you can easily use any old registration card to take a couple of friends to dine free of charge. ④The Finnish workers are paid by the hour. They are very much on their own as soon as they have agreed with the boss on the pay. From then on, they just say how many hours they have worked and they will be paid accordingly. ⑤With so much carelessness in everyday life, surely Finland must be a heaven to those who love to take “petty advantages (小便宜)”. But the strange thing is, all the taxi passengers would always come back to pay their fare after they have attended to their business, not a single outsider has ever been found in the free hotel dining rooms. And workers always give an honest account of the exact hours they put in. ⑥As the Finns always act honestly in everything they do, living in such a society has turned everyone into a real “gentleman”. In a society of such high moral (道德的) practice, what need is there for people to be on guard against others? 1．What might happen when taking a taxi in Finland? A．Taxis can be stopped at any time on the way. B．The cost of a Benz is higher than other taxis. C．The driver will feel angry if unpaid on time. D．Only Benz can be used as common taxis. 2．Which of the following is true according to this text? A．Finns love to take “pretty advantages”. B．Taxi drivers can get paid after several asking. C．Outsiders are often invited to have a free meal. D．Finnish workers keep very honest records of their working hours. 3．Why are Finnish people called “foolish” at the beginning of the passage? A．Because their taxis are very expensive. B．Because hotel guests can eat for free. C．Because workers decide their own working hours. D．Because their systems seems easy to cheat. 4．What can we learn from the underlined sentence in the last paragraph? A．Practice makes perfect. B．High efforts always lead to great gains. C．Honesty is a good rule of society. D．Nothing is impossible to a willing heart. 5．Which of the following best shows the structure of the passage? A． B． C． D． 11.（2025·江西南昌·二模） When everyone in China is getting ready for the traditional Chinese New Year, a Chinese AI app is shining around the world. The Chinese AI app DeepSeek became the most popular free app on the Apple Store, followed by ChatGPT from Open AI, Gemini from Google, and Llama 2 from Meta. DeepSeek has great technology and brings big changes to our life, especially in learning and working. Its language models can answer lots of different questions well. In learning, students can use it to get more knowledge. When they have difficult problems in subjects like history, math or science, they can ask DeepSeek for help. It’s just like having a helpful teacher all the time. At work, it makes employees better at analyzing data (分析数据). Marketers can use it to guess what will happen in the market, and writers can find ideas from it to write better things. However, while DeepSeek gives us so much convenience, there are also problems. Some students depend too much on it without thinking. This is a really serious problem. In fact, with the growth of AI, we need to pay more attention to improving our creativity. In the future, jobs that need people to do the same thing over and over again will be taken by AI. Only those who are really creative can succeed. For example, in art design, designers should use their own ideas to make great works instead of AI works. In science, researchers need to think of new ideas to find out things we don’t know. With this in mind, we should see AI as a useful tool, not something that takes the place of our own thinking. We must work on developing our creativity by keeping learning and practicing to get ready for the future. 1．What can people do with DeepSeek according to Paragraph 2? ①get more knowledge        ②change the history ③learn to create more challenges    ④predict what will happen ⑤find better ideas for writing A．②③⑤ B．①④⑤ C．②③④ D．①③⑤ 2．What does the underlined word “This” in Paragraph 3 mean?

B．To show the rising of China’s AI technology. C．To inspire people to develop creativity to prepare for the future. D．To encourage people to do more interesting things with DeepSeek. 12.（2025·江西九江·二模） Do you wear glasses? If yes, would you like to have surgery (手术) so you don’t need to wear them anymore? Many believe that surgery can fix the problem forever, but that’s not always the case. Most people wear glasses because of nearsightedness (近视). When we see things, light comes into our eyes and focuses on the retina (视网膜). But for people with nearsightedness, in their eyes, light focuses in front of the retina. This makes things far away seem blurry but close things seem clear. Surgery can treat this. Xu Jiayi, a 19-year-old student from Beijing, had the surgery five months ago during the winter vacation. “After the surgery, I can see very clearly. Life is more convenient without having to wear eyeglasses,” said Xu. However, the process is not as easy as you might think. Xu said that her eyes hurt badly right after the surgery. Also, she needed to use medicine for at least three months. “At first, there were four types of medicines, then the number became six,” she said. These medicines help the eye heal (康复) and prevent eye problems. Moreover, if you don’t look after your eye health well, nearsightedness may return even after surgery. “Because I use my eyes too much both at work and at home, things have started to look blurry to me again,” said Du Anni, 32, who had the surgery nine years ago. Instead of fixing nearsightedness, “the surgery just lets you ‘take off your glasses’,” said Wei Wenbin from the Beijing Tongren Hospital in a speech in July. He said that the surgery doesn’t fix the changes in the eye’s structure. 1．How does the writer introduce the topic in the first paragraph? A．By giving the example. B．By making the comparison. C．By asking questions. D．By telling the stories. 2．Why do people with nearsightedness can’t see things clearly far away? A．Because the light can’t get into the eyes. B．Because the light focuses in front of the retina. C．Because the light doesn’t focus on the retina. D．Because the light focuses at the back of the retina. 3．What happens to Xu Jiayi after the surgery? A．Her eyes don’t hurt any more after the surgery. B．She has to use four kinds of medicine for two months. C．Her eyes’ structure has changed a lot after the surgery. D．Her life becomes convenient without wearing eyeglasses. 4．What can we learn from the last two paragraphs? A．Nearsightedness may return if we don’t take care of our eyes. B．The surgery can fix the changes in the eye’s structure completely. C．As long as you have the right surgery, nearsightedness won’t come back. D．The surgery just lets you take off glasses but you still can’t see things clearly. 5．What would be the best title for this passage? A．Surgery Does Harm to Eyes. B．Are Eyesight Problems Solved? C．Medicines Heal Nearsightedness. D．Nearsightedness Is Common for Teenagers. 13.（2025·江西九江·二模） A lot of people take up dancing as a hobby after school. In fact, dancing has been considered one of the best exercises to fight bad feelings in recent years. Why? Dancing, which involves (包含) moving the body to different kinds of music, helps our bodies produce much endorphin (内啡肽), a chemical (化学物质) that makes us feel relaxed and happy. While simply listening to music or doing sports can cheer us up, mixing them together gives better results. In a study, a group of German scientists tested some patients under three conditions: a group dancing with music, a group just listening to music, and a group riding bikes without music. The results showed that the first group were the least depressed. Dancing can bring people together, too. Tango, Latin or other social dancing require us to move with others, which can improve our sense of social bonding (联系), according to IBSA, a Swiss scientific foundation. Dancing also helps people let go of bad feelings. Studies have found that depression often has to do with sadness about the past or worries about the future. However, dancing helps you focus on the present, connect with your body, and free your mind for a while, as reported by Psych Central, a mental health news website. Studies showed that if people enjoy any kind of music, dancing can be a helpful way to reduce stress. Dancing can take any form, whether it’s moving around the house to a song or going out dancing with friends. The important part of movement (运动) is that it is fun. So, it isn’t any excuse for you not to give dancing a chance! 1．Why does dancing is the best exercise to fight bad feelings? A．Because lots of people take up dancing as a hobby. B．Because dancing involves different kinds of music. C．Because dancing helps our bodies produce much endorphin. D．Because dancing lovers are always more outgoing than others. 2．Which of the following is NOT the advantage of dancing? A．It can cheer people up. B．It can bring people together. C．It can help people forget all stress. D．It helps people let go of bad feelings. 3．What does the underlined word “depressed” in Paragraph 3 mean? A．Sad. B．Excited. C．Confident. D．Healthy. 4．What can we infer from the last paragraph? A．The more dancing songs you like, the happier you will be. B．If someone enjoy the music, dancing can help him or her relaxed. C．Everyone can reduce the stress through dancing, even though he or she doesn’t like the music. D．It’s better for people to go out dancing with friends, instead of moving around the house to a song. 5．What would be the best structure of the passage? A．B． C． D． 14.（2025·江西景德镇·二模） Recently, the topic “Why are cinema seats usually red?” has caused hot discussions on the Internet again. Many netizens said, “I didn’t even notice the color of the seats before.” One idea is that cinema seats are red because they keep the color tradition of ancient theaters. Early theater seats were mainly for the royal and noble people (皇家贵族). They liked the gorgeous red color, so later cinema seats followed this tradition. But it makes people wonder. Cinemas are no longer just for the royal and noble. People’s tastes are becoming more various. Why aren’t there seats in all kinds of colors in cinemas? In fact, many cinema seats are designed to be red to make our movie-watching experience better. When the indoor light gets dark, red is the first color that we can’t see. For example, in bright light, the red flowers of geraniums (天竺葵) stand out against the green background. But when the light becomes dim, the flowers quickly change from bright red to a darker color. The green plants behind also lose their vividness. but they fade (褪色) more slowly. So they become more noticeable than the red flowers. When the light gets even weaker, the whole scene turns black and white. The same is true for the movie-watching experience in cinemas. As the cinema lights dim, the seats, walls and curtains (usually red too) soon turn black. This helps us focus on the screen and enjoy the movie more. Sure, besides red seats, some netizens said they’ve seen black seats. Not all cinemas use red seats, and black seats are also good. But you seldom see green or blue seats in cinemas. These colors take too long to fade and may break our attention while watching movies. 1．Why were early theater seats red according to the passage? A．Because red was a symbol of power. B．Because the royal and noble people liked red. C．Because red made people excited. D．Because red could make seats last longer. 2．What does the underlined word “it” refer to in Paragraph 2? A．The fact that many netizens didn’t notice the seat color before. B．The historical preference of royal people for red seats in ancient times. C．The situation that cinemas are no longer just for the royal and noble while seats are still mostly red. D．The idea that red is the first color to disappear in the dark. 3．How does the writer support his opinion in Paragraph 3? A．By giving an example. B．By listing numbers. C．By asking a question. D．By telling a story. 4．Which of the following can be inferred from the passage? A．All cinemas will use red seats in the future. B．Green seats will be the most popular seats in cinemas one day. C．Cinema seat colors are chosen to improve the movie-watching experience. D．Black seats are better than red seats in terms of movie-watching experience. 5．What’s the writer’s purpose of writing the passage? A．It tells us the history of cinema seats. B．It shows us the reasons behind the color choice of cinema seats. C．It describes the preferences of royal and noble people. D．It introduces the influence of light on color sense. 15.（2025·江西景德镇·二模） The 2025 CCTV Spring Festival Gala, a grand event in China that brings families together in front of the TV to enjoy a wonderful night, witnessed (见证) the first appearance of Li Ziqi, a Chinese Internet star known for sharing traditional handicrafts (手工艺) and rural life.

No, it’s not a package (包裹). It’s the amazing coconut (椰子)! The coconut is different from most other fruits because every part of it is useful. People have been using coconuts in many different ways. Here are some of them. One exciting use of the coconut is as a kind of energy. Scientists are working on using coconuts for energy because they are cheap and clean. Coconut oil has already been made into fuel (燃料). It can power cars, trucks, ships and many more. Students at Baylor University find that coconut husks (外壳) can take in water very well. So mixing coconut husks with dry soil (土壤) helps the soil to hold onto more of the water. The students also find that coconut husks can take the place of plastic in some cases. If this is possible, it will help people use less plastic. The husk of the coconut is a perfect package. It protects the coconut from harm. That’s why some countries allow people to send the coconut without any packaging. Each year, tourists post about 3,000 of these “coconut postcards”. Coconuts grow naturally in over 80 countries of the world. They require only sun and proper rain. No special care is needed. Every year, more than 61 million tons of coconuts are produced. It is not surprising, then, that people want to find so many uses for the coconut. 1．Why is the coconut different from most other fruits? A．Stamps can be put on it. B．Every part of it is useful. C．People send it in a package. D．Addresses can be written on it. 2．What does the underlined word “power” in Paragraph 2 mean? A．Make room for. B．Add value to. C．Provide energy for. D．Put weight on. 3．In which part of the magazine could we read the passage? A．Story Time. B．History World. C．Sports News. D．Amazing Nature. 4．What’s the main purpose of the passage? A．To advise people to protect coconuts. B．To ask people to grow more coconuts. C．To show the value and uses of coconuts. D．To introduce a fuel made from coconuts. 5．What would be the best structure of the passage? A． B． C． D． 【答案】1．B 2．C 3．D 4．C 5．B 【导语】本文主要介绍了椰子的多种用途和价值，包括作为能源、土壤改良剂、塑料替代品以及天然包装等。 1．细节理解题。根据“The coconut is different from most other fruits because every part of it is useful.”可知，椰子与其他水果不同之处在于它的每个部分都有用。故选B。 2．词句猜测题。根据“Coconut oil has already been made into fuel (燃料). It can power cars, trucks, ships and many more.”可知，椰子油被制成燃料后能为车辆、船只等提供动力，因此“power”意为“提供能源”。故选C。 3．推理判断题。通读全文可知，全文围绕椰子的自然属性和多种用途展开，与自然相关。根据文章内容可推断，最可能出现在杂志的“Amazing Nature”（奇妙自然）板块。故选D。 4．主旨大意题。通读全文可知，文章从多个角度（能源、环保、邮寄等）展示了椰子的实用价值，故其主要目的是展示椰子的价值和用途。故选C。 5．篇章结构题。通读全文可知，第一段总述椰子特点，第二、三、四段分述其用途（能源、环保、邮寄等），第五段总结产量和实用性，故文章结构为“总—分—总”。故选B。 2.（2024·江西·中考真题） The Maori arrived in New Zealand from Polynesian (波利尼西亚) islands about a thousand years ago. They were the first people to live in New Zealand.     In the late 18th century, Europeans came to live in New Zealand. At that time, the population of the Maori was maybe 250,000 in New Zealand. Over the next one hundred years, wars and disease killed many Maori people. By the end of the 19th century, there were only about 40,000 Maori people left. During this time, the Maori also lost much of their land to the Europeans. Many of them were afraid that they might lose their traditions and language too, but this did not happen. Today the Maori population is increasing. There are about 500,000 Maori people in New Zealand. Most live like other New Zealanders, but they are keeping the Maori language and traditions alive. There are now Maori radio and television stations. Many schools teach in the Maori language. Nearly one half of Maori language speakers are 25 years old or younger. Maori culture is also alive and well. At the center of Maori culture is the “marae”. This is a special place for ceremonies and meetings. Today the number of marae in New Zealand is increasing. Many of the new marae are in the cities. Now people in the cities can meet and learn about their Maori traditions. Today most New Zealand cities have Maori festivals each year. Among festival activities are competitions in speaking, dancing and singing. Children practice for months. Then all the Maori in the area arrive to watch the competitions and see who wins. The Maori have gone through hard times. Today they live a comfortable, modern life.

Among festival activities are competitions in speaking, dancing and singing.”可知，如今，新西兰的大多数城市每年都有毛利人的节日。节日活动中有演讲、舞蹈和歌唱比赛。所以acde是毛利人保持传统的行为，故选D。 4．主旨大意题。本文主要讲述了毛利人从古到今的发展历程以及他们是如何保持和传承自己的文化，与文化相关，故选B。 5．篇章结构题。分析文章内容可知，第一、二两段介绍毛利人古时的情况，第三、四、五段介绍毛利人现在的情况，第六段进行总结。故选C。 3.（2023·江西·中考真题） Why do We Yawn? Do you yawn? There are about 20 reasons that scientists think are possible for yawning after research. They do not know exactly why yawning happens, but they do know many facts about yawning. We know that everyone yawns in the same way. First you open your mouth slowly. Your mouth stays open for about five seconds. You take in a lot of air and then push it out. Then you quickly close your mouth. We also know that yawning is contagious. When you see someone yawn, you yawn, too. Many people say they yawn because they are bored or tired. That might be true. People do often yawn before they sleep and after they wake up. However, we know that people also yawn when they are excited or nervous. Olympic runners, for example, often yawn before a race. Why is that? In 2007, scientists found that a yawn can help a warm brain cool down. Some scientists believe that yawning makes you notice things more quickly. When you yawn, you breathe deeply. You also stretch (强化) the muscles (肌肉) in your face, mouth, and neck. Your eardrums stretch, too. Maybe this helps you to be quicker to notice things. In some countries, people think yawning is not nice. People put their hands over their mouths to cover a yawn. In other countries, people think yawning is healthy. They think that opening the mouth very big can let good things in. When they breathe out, they think that bad things go out of the body with the air. Scientists do not spend much time studying yawning. That is probably because yawning does not hurt. It is just something we do. 1．What does the underlined word “contagious” in Paragraph 2 mean? A．Able to spread quickly. B．Able to breathe easily. C．Able to change easily. D．Able to sleep quickly. 2．Why do Olympic runners often yawn before a race? A．They are too tired or too bored. B．A yawn can let good things in. C．A yawn can help a warm brain cool down. D．A yawn can stretch the muscles in their faces. 3．What is the main idea of Paragraph 5? A．Reasons for yawning. B．Advantages of yawning. C．Disadvantages of yawning. D．Different ideas about yawning. 4．What can we probably infer from the passage? A．People use different ways to yawn. B．Scientists will do further research on yawning. C．It’s hard to notice things quickly while yawning. D．Some scientists think yawning is good for people. 5．What would be the best structure of the passage? A． B． C． D． 【答案】1．A 2．C 3．D 4．D 5．B 【导语】本文主要介绍了关于打哈欠的事实。 1．词义猜测题。根据“When you see someone yawn, you yawn, too.”可知当别人打哈欠时，你也会打哈欠，所以哈欠是会传染的，划线部分单词意为“能够快速传播”。故选A。 2．细节理解题。根据“In 2007, scientists found that a yawn can help a warm brain cool down.”可知科学家发现打哈欠可以帮助温暖的大脑冷静下来。故选C。 3．主旨大意题。根据“In some countries, people think yawning is not nice...In other countries...”以及本段内容可知本文主要介绍了不同国家对于打哈欠的看法。故选D。 4．推理判断题。根据“scientists found that a yawn can help a warm brain cool down”以及“Some scientists believe that yawning makes you notice things more quickly”可知科学家发现打哈欠会帮助大脑冷静下来，能让你更快地注意到事情，由此可推知一些科学家认为打哈欠对人有好处。故选D。 5．篇章结构题。通读全文可知，第一段引出了话题；第二至第五段介绍了关于打哈欠的事实；第六段进行总结。故选B。 4.（2022·江西·中考真题） Improvements in technology often happen overnight. Some gadgets get smaller and faster. Others are replaced (代替) by newer things like smartphones. They can do hundreds of things. Here are some old gadgets that people used to use. ①________ Do you have a landline at home? These are phones that people plug (插入) into their living room walls. Mobile phones didn’t use to be so common at that time, so most families had a landline. But landlines only worked at home. What did people do when they were outside and needed to call someone? They looked for a pay phone! Then, most people had their own mobile phones and many homes no longer had landlines. ②________   People today store plenty of information online, or on SD cards. But in the 1980s and 1990s, people used to use floppy disks. The first floppy disks were large, expensive, and not very useful — each disk could store just 175 KB of information! Later, floppy disks got smaller and better. But even the best ones could only hold 1.44 MB．You would need three or four disks just for one song, and about 22,000 disks to match the storage (储存空间) available on a 32 GB phone! ③________   It’s easy to take photos today. People often have thousands just on their phones! But photos used to be expensive, and people took fewer of them. To take a photo, you had to buy a roll of film. This allowed you to take about 30 photos. After finishing the roll, you left it at a shop. The shop developed the photos to make them be seen, which you could collect after a few days. Technology changes all the time, and the gadgets we use today will one day be old. What do you think will be next to disappear? 1．What does the underlined word “gadgets” mean in Paragraph 1? A．Toys.

People often have thousands just on their phones! But photos used to be expensive, and people took fewer of them.”可知③段介绍拍照工具，用“Picture This”做标题。故选B。 3．细节理解题。根据“The first floppy disks were large, expensive, and not very useful — each disk could store just 175 KB of information!”可知第一批软盘很贵，要花费很多钱。故选C。 19．推理判断题。根据“Improvements in technology often happen overnight.”及下文内容可知文中介绍科技在进步，这在不断改变人们的生活。故选C。 4．标题归纳题。根据“Here are some old gadgets that people used to use.”及全文内容可知本文主要介绍了人们过去常用的旧工具，用“The Things We Used to Use.”做标题最合适。故选D。 5.（2021·江西·中考真题） Eight hundred years ago, a man in southern Turkey invented an amazing clock. It was more than 7 meters high. At its base（基座）was a life-size model elephant. Every half hour, something amazing happened. The whole clock came alive: Model birds, dragons, and people started to move. The clock’s inventor was an engineer named al-Jazari. He lived in Turkey. Al-Jazari was probably one of the greatest engineers in history. Some historians call him “the father of modern-day engineering.” We know about al-Jazari mostly from a book that he wrote. ________ They include clocks and hand-washing machines. The book also has drawings that show how each machine works. Many everyday things today-from toys to car engines（发动机）-still use al-Jazari’s ideas. Without his machines with moving parts, we might not have modern-day robots. Today, it is still possible to see what al-Jazari’s elephant cock looked like. A full-size working model is in Dubai’s Ibn Battuta Mall. There, every half hour, al-Jazari’s most amazing invention comes to life once again. How Does the Elephant Clock Work? A bowl with a small hole floats（浮）in a water tank（水箱）inside the elephant’s body. As the bowl slowly sinks（下沉）, it pulls a rope that moves a human figure. His moving pen shows the number of minutes past the hour. Every half hour, the water bowl becomes full and sinks completely. This causes a ball to fall from the top of the clock. The movement of the ball causes a phoenix to move and make a sound. The ball then drops out of a falcon’s mouth into the mouth of a Chinese dragon. The weight of the ball causes the dragon’s head to move down and the dragon’s tail pulls the water bowl back up. Finally, the ball drops out of the dragon’s mouth and into a vase. As the ball lands in the vase, the elephant driver moves and makes a sound. The cycle begins again until there are no more ball in the top of the clock. 1．Why is al-Jazari called “the father of modern-day engineering”? A．His ideas are still widely used in machines. B．The elephant clock is an amazing invention. C．His inventions include some parts of modern robots. D．His book about machines is still popular with readers. 2．Choose the best sentence to fill in the blank “________” in Paragraph 3. A．He became famous when he was a young man. B．He invented a lot of everyday machines in history. C．It describes a number of machines of all shapes and sizes. D．People in Turkey enjoy reading his books in their free time. 3．What does the underlined word “This” in Paragraph 7 refer to? A．The pen moves. B．The all drops. C．The bowl sinks completely. D．The bowl pulls the rope. 4．How does the elephant clock work? Put the steps in the correct order. a. The ball drops into the vase. b. The ball drops into the dragon’s mouth. c. The elephant driver moves and makes a sound. d. After 30 minutes, a ball starts to fall from the top. e. The bowl moves down in the water and pulls on ropes. A．b-d-a-c-e B．e-d-b-a-c C．a-e-b-d-c D．c-a-d-e-b 【答案】1．A 2．C 3．C 4．B 【分析】本文是一篇说明文，向我们介绍一个神奇的时钟。 1．推理判断题。根据“Al-Jazari was probably one of the greatest engineers in history. Some historians call him ‘the father of modern-day engineering.’”可知，Al-Jazari可能是历史上最伟大的工程师之一，一些历史学家称他为“现代工程学之父”。选项A“他的思想仍被广泛应用于机器”符合，故选A。 2．推理判断题。分析“They include clocks and hand-washing machines. The book also has drawings that show how each machine works.”可知，这本书包括钟表和手洗衣机，也有展示每台机器如何工作的图纸。选项C“它描述了许多各种形状和大小的机器”符合语境，故选C。 3．推理判断题。根据“Every half hour, the water bowl becomes full and sinks completely. This causes a ball to fall from the top of the clock.”可知，每半个小时，水碗就会装满，并完全下沉，这导致一个球从时钟的顶部掉下来。此处this指的是“碗完全下沉”，故选C。 4．细节理解题。根据“A bowl with a small hole floats（浮）in a water tank（水箱）inside the elephant’s body. As the bowl slowly sinks（下沉）, it pulls a rope that moves a human figure.”，“Every half hour, the water bowl becomes full and sinks completely.”，“The ball then drops out of a falcon’s mouth into the mouth of a Chinese dragon.”，“Finally, the ball drops out of the dragon’s mouth and into a vase.”和“As the ball lands in the vase, the elephant driver moves and makes a sound.”可知，正确的顺序是e-d-b-a-c，故选B。 1.（2025·江西九江·三模） The Longtaitou Festival, also known as the Eryue’er Festival, is a traditional Chinese festival. It always falls on the second day of the second lunar month. The name means “dragon raising its head”, carrying a sense of hope. In Chinese ancient farming culture, this festival holds great importance. People believe that after the Longtaitou Festival, the rain will gradually increase. It is said that on this day the dragon king who is in control of rain will wake up from hibernation (冬眠) and lift his head. It marks the start of the busy farming season. The celebration of the Longtaitou Festival is rich in traditions. One of the most well-known customs is getting a haircut. Many people believe that cutting their hair in the first lunar month will bring bad fortune. And having a haircut on the Longtaitou Festival can bring good luck and success all the year. In some areas, dumplings, spring rolls, wontons and popcorn are all given dragon names on this day. Noodles are called dragon’s beard or longxu. Dumplings are dragon’s ears or long’er. Spring rolls are dragon’s scales or longlin. Wontons are dragon’s eyes or longyan. And popcorn is called dragon’s seeds or longzi. It’s said that eating these foods can bring good luck. In ancient times, there were even more customs. People used to spread ashes (灰) in the kitchen, with the belief that it could lead the dragon into the house. This was done to ask for a harvest (丰收) with the help of the dragon. However, as time goes by, some of these ancient customs have gradually died out. The Longtaitou Festival still holds a special place in the hearts of Chinese people. It serves not only as a festival but also as a symbol of our traditional culture. It acts as a bridge, connecting us with our history. 1．What do people believe will happen after the Longtaitou Festival? A．The weather will gradually be fine. B．The temperature will gradually rise. C．The wind will gradually become strong. D．The rain will gradually increase. 2．What does the underlined word “fortune” mean in Paragraph 3? A．Luck. B．Health. C．Start.

One reason is probably that the brain appears to clean itself during sleeping hours. This idea has gotten the attention of researchers. This is because losing a good night’s sleep can cause people’s thinking to be unclear, while a lasting lack of sleep is believed to increase the risk of a serious brain illness. Then how does the brain clean itself? Over 12 years ago, scientists at the University of Rochester first reported finding a system in the brain. A water-like substance (物质) from the brain travels through channels (管道) near blood vessels (血管) to carry waste out of the brain. According to the study, the accumulation (堆积) of beta-amyloids (β淀粉样蛋白) has something to do with problems in the brain. When scientists injected (注射) mice with beta-amyloids, they left the brain faster when the animals were sleeping. It is not clear exactly how the system works. However, some research has shown that the movement of blood vessels might help move the waste-clearing substance where it needs to go. However, studying this system in humans has been challenging. Regular MRI scans (扫描检查) can show some of the channels, but they can’t show how the system works. To overcome this problem, the research team at Oregon Health & Science University injected a substance into five patients. It “lit up” during MRI scans 24 to 48 hours later. It was seen moving through the brain using the channels as in the earlier research on mice. This discovery is meaningful and will likely lead to further research on how brain waste clearance is linked to human health. “Researchers are now planning to measure (测量) glymphatic function (类淋巴功能) in people,” said Dr. Jeff Iliff who has helped lead the research. But he isn’t sure of the result. Besides the influence of sleep, animal studies show that a blood pressure drug might improve glymphatic (淋巴) clearing. Jeff and his workmates plan to study this drug in a group of patients. It seems that larger studies in healthy people are also needed. 1．What may happen if people lose a good night’s sleep? A．They will only be tired. B．They will find it hard to think clearly. C．They will feel much more excited. D．They will face a serious brain illness. 2．How did the scientists study the system in humans? A．They asked five patients to sleep. B．They took some pictures of blood vessels. C．They injected a special substance into themselves. D．They used MRI scans and a special substance to help. 3．What does the underlined word “linked” in Paragraph 6 mean? A．Connected. B．Compared. C．Similar. D．Used. 4．What will Dr. Jeff Iliff probably do in the future? A．He will work in the University of Washington. B．He will lead the waste-clearance research around the world. C．He will start to research how sleep influences the clearing. D．He will study how the drug helps to improve glymphatic clearing. 5．What would be the best structure of the passage? A． B． C． D． 【答案】1．B 2．D 3．A 4．D 5．C 【导语】本文主要介绍大脑在睡眠时进行的自我清洁功能。 1．推理判断题。根据“This is because losing a good night’s sleep can cause people’s thinking to be unclear, while a lasting lack of sleep is believed to increase the risk of a serious brain illness.”可知，失去良好睡眠会导致思维不清。故选B。 2．细节理解题。根据“To overcome this problem, the research team at Oregon Health & Science University injected a substance into five patients.”可知，研究团队给患者注射能在MRI扫描里“显现”的特殊物质，再通过扫描来研究其在大脑内的流动，从而了解该系统。故选D。 3．词句猜测题。画线词“linked”在文中表示“与……有关/有联系”，上下文是在讲大脑废物清除与人类健康之间的关系，因此其含义是“connected”。故选A。 4．推理判断题。根据“‘Researchers are now planning to measure (测量) glymphatic function (类淋巴功能) in people,’ said Dr. Jeff Iliff who has helped lead the research. But he isn’t sure of the result. ”可知，Jeff和同事计划研究血压药物如何改善类淋巴清除功能，说明他将致力于研究该药物对大脑清除的影响。故选D。 5．篇章结构题。通读全文可知，文章先提出主题（第1段），再介绍意识与实验过程（第2、3段），然后讲困难与新发现（第4、5段），最后总结并展望（第6段），结构呈“1→(2,3)→(4,5)→6”。与选项C的示意图相符合。故选C。 3.（2025·江西宜春·三模） In China, more and more adults are becoming overweight. In fact, 34.8% of adults are overweight and 14.1% are obese (肥胖的). The number of obese people is growing faster than the number of those who are just overweight. Experts say that each year there are 5.4% more obese adults in China. Zhang Zhongtao, who works at Beijing Friendship Hospital, said that obesity was causing big health and money problems around the world. It is now a serious public health problem in China. By the year of 2030, it is expected that China will spend about 22% of all its healthcare money on problems related to being overweight or obese. At a meeting, Zhang asked people to pay more attention to obesity and how to manage weight. He believes that the government and society do not focus enough on this problem. “We hope to work with public charities to give help to obese patients who need to lose weight medically but can’t pay for it.” he said. He also explained why people become overweight. It is mainly because they eat more energy than they run out of. In the north of China, people like to eat noodles, and in the south, they prefer rice. Both foods have carbohydrates (碳水化合物), but eating noodles can make you gain more weight. Climate (气候) also affects people in the north. Because it’s colder, they like to eat foods with more calories, like fried chicken and chocolate, to stay warm. Obesity is a common problem and can lead to other diseases. This is why it’s so important to prevent and control obesity to help build a “Healthy China”. 1．How does Paragraph 1 tell the seriousness of the overweight problem in China? A．By giving examples. B．By listing some numbers. C．By asking some questions. D．By comparing with other countries. 2．What reasons for being overweight are true according to the passage? ①Eating too much. ②The climate in the north. ③Suffering from a disease. ④Preferring noodles to rice. ⑤Eating too late. ⑥Being in a poor sleep. A．①③④ B．②④⑥ C．①②④ D．②③⑤ 3．What can we probably infer from the passage? A．there are 5.4% more obese children in China each year. B．Rice and fried chicken are good for keeping out of the cold completely. C．People have full understanding about the problems of being overweight. D．Overweight and obese problems may cover fewer than a quarter of China’s medical cost. 4．Which of the following best shows the structure of the passage? A． B． C． D． 5．What is the passage mainly about? A．You are what you eat. B．How much you spend on losing weight. C．Rising obesity rates in China need attention. D．Overweight adults like to eat more food. 【答案】1．B 2．C 3．D 4．A 5．C 【导语】本文主要讲述了中国成年人超重和肥胖问题的严重性、原因及其对健康和经济的影响，并呼吁社会关注这一问题。 1．细节理解题。根据“In fact, 34.8% of adults are overweight and 14.1% are obese (肥胖的)…Experts say that each year there are 5.4% more obese adults in China.”可知，作者通过列举具体数据和增长率说明问题的严重性。故选B。 2．细节理解题。根据“It is mainly because they eat more energy than they run out of. In the north of China, people like to eat noodles, and in the south, they prefer rice. Both foods have carbohydrates (碳水化合物), but eating noodles can make you gain more weight.

In other words, rural (乡村的) tourism is gaining popularity among Chinese tourists. Why? Here are some reasons. Wang Shang works for a Beijing-based company that helps organize countryside tours. She believes that experiencing a different lifestyle is an important reason why citizens travel to rural areas. Most of the visitors from cities are used to buying food in supermarkets. But in rural areas, they can easily get them on farms. They are used to watching high buildings and busy traffic. But in rural areas, they can enjoy more peaceful and clean rivers or mountains. Tourists’ expectations for rural tourism are not limited to enjoying natural scenery and experiencing the countryside life. Cao Yiqin, a 26-year-old tourist, told us that rural trips help her not only “enjoy the natural beauty” but also “reduce stress by escaping the busy city life and getting closer to nature”. Apart from the above reasons, the government encourages cultural companies and their employees to go to the countryside to help with local business. They have brought some great changes to the rural areas, including the renovation (翻新) of the buildings, the spread of rural culture, the processing of agricultural products, etc. The trend has also been pushed by some Chinese Internet stars. An Internet star has posted many videos of traditional Chinese rural life on the Internet and attracted a large number of viewers. 1．Which of the following is NOT the advantage of traveling to the countryside according to the passage? A．It helps people reduce stress. B．People can get closer to nature. C．People can get food on farms easily. D．People can enjoy farmers’ busy life. 2．What is the main idea of Paragraph 2? A．People are tired of city life. B．Rural life is better than city life. C．People want to experience a different life. D．Food on farms is healthier than that in supermarkets. 3．What does the underlined word “They” in Paragraph 4 refer to? A．The visitors from cities. B．The government officials. C．The people living in the countryside. D．The cultural companies and employees. 4．Which of the following best shows the structure of the passage? A．①/②③④⑤ B．①②③④/⑤ C．①/②③④/⑤ D．①②/③/④⑤ 5．What would be the best title for the passage? A．Tourists Travel in the Countryside B．Rural Tourism Becomes More Popular C．Chinese People Escape from the City Life D．The Government Encourages Rural Tourism 【答案】1．D 2．C 3．D 4．A 5．B 【导语】本文主要介绍了乡村旅游受欢迎的原因。 1．细节理解题。根据“But in rural areas, they can easily get them on farms... But in rural areas, they can enjoy more peaceful and clean rivers or mountains.”及“Tourists’ expectations for rural tourism are not limited to enjoying natural scenery and experiencing the countryside life. Cao Yiqin, a 26-year-old tourist, told us that rural trips help her not only ‘enjoy the natural beauty’ but also ‘reduce stress by escaping the busy city life and getting closer to nature’.”可知去乡村旅游的优点有：它帮助人们减轻压力、人们能更亲近自然、人们可以很容易地在农场得到食物，不包括“人们可以享受农民忙碌的生活”。故选D。 2．段落大意题。根据“She believes that experiencing a different lifestyle is an important reason why citizens travel to rural areas”可知，第二段主要讲了人们想要体验不同的生活。故选C。 3．代词指代题。根据“Apart from the above reasons, the government encourages cultural companies and their employees to go to the countryside to help with local business.

When you chat with someone on a game app, it will know who your friends are. These can make your life easier. But sometimes, others can get your information and misuse it. This can be dangerous. Here are some ways you can try to keep your information safe. Stop Apps from Tracking (追踪) You When you download an app, the app will ask if it can track you. Always choose “no”. Sometimes, ads appear suddenly. Don’t click (点击) on them, or the app may get more information about you. ▲ When someone sends you a friend request, you should take a look at his or her personal information. Do you have any friends in common? Where do they live? You should also check your privacy settings. So, a person can’t see anything you don’t want him or her to see. Think Before Scanning (扫描) Your Face Facial recognition (人脸识别) can help to find out who you are. But it is not always necessary to use the technology because it can give out your personal information. You can scan your face if you want to get a new passport at the police station. But do not do it when you get into a shopping mall, restaurant or museum. 1．What can we know from Paragraph 1? A．Websites don’t know our likes. B．People should not use online maps. C．Smart city life is always dangerous. D．People share information a lot in a smart city. 2．Which sentence can be put in the “ ▲ ”? A．Don’t Use the Apps with Ads. B．Check the Personal Information. C．Be Careful When Making Friends Online. D．Check Your Private Settings Before Sending a Request. 3．What does the underlined word “it” in the last sentence refer to? A．Scanning your face. B．Getting a passport. C．Visiting a museum. D．Sharing your location. 4．Which of the following best shows the structure of the passage? A．①/②③④ B．①②/③④ C．①/②/③④ D．①/②③/④ 5．What does the passage mainly talk about? A．The apps to make life easier. B．The dangers of online games. C．Ways to protect personal information. D．Useful ways to use smart city services. 【答案】1．D 2．C 3．A 4．A 5．C 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲述了在智能城市生活中如何保护个人信息安全的方法。 1．细节理解题。根据文章第1段“Living in a smart city means you are sharing information all the time.”可知，人们在智能城市中会大量分享信息。故选D。 2．推理判断题。空缺处位于段落开头，根据第三段“When someone sends you a friend request…”可知，填入的句子应与在线交友的谨慎性相关。选项C“Be Careful When Making Friends Online”最符合上下文逻辑。故选C。 3．词句猜测题。根据文章最后一段“You can scan your face if you want to get a new passport… But do not do it when you get into a shopping mall…”可知，你可以在办理护照时扫描脸部，但进入商场时不要这样做，可知“it”指代前文的“scan your face”。故选A。 4．篇章结构题。文章结构为：第1段总述智能城市中信息共享的现状（①），第2-4段分别提出三种保护信息的方法（②③④）。因此结构为①/②③④。故选A。 5．主旨大意题。全文围绕“保护个人信息”展开，列举了禁止应用追踪、谨慎在线交友、避免随意人脸扫描等方法。选项C“Ways to protect personal information”最贴合主旨。故选C。 6.（2025·江西宜春·二模） The Pythagorean theorem (毕达哥拉斯定理) is a big math idea. It tells us that in a right triangle (直角三角形), the square of the longest side is equal (等于) to the sum of the squares of the other two sides. This is shown as a2+b2=c2. In school, it allows students to work out the length of the third side of a right triangle when the other two are known. In real life, it helps planes find the shortest way to fly. People who design buildings use this math idea too. When this idea first appeared, many mathematicians (数学家) tried to show it was true in different ways, and there are about 370 different ways to do this. In 1927, a mathematician named Elisha Loomis said that proving this with trigonometry (三角学) was impossible. His reason was that you can’t prove (证明) an idea is true by using the idea itself. However, a mathematician named Jason Zimba first proved it successfully in 2009. Two years ago, two high school students, Ne’ Kiya Jackson and Calcea Johnson, also found a way to prove the Pythagorean theorem based on trigonometry. In March 2023, the two showed their work at a math meeting. Publishing their findings was challenging, and they had to learn new skills. Encouraged by Zimba’s proof (证明), they developed more proofs. One of them includes filling a large triangle with smaller triangles and using math to find side lengths. This amazed other mathematicians. Jackson and Johnson also left five proofs for others to explore, which gives a starting point for more research. Their journey shows that exploring math is timeless and exciting, and the new way of thinking encourages more young mathematicians to be creative and challenge the norm (常态). 1．How does the writer start his passage in Paragraph 1? A．By giving examples. B．By listing numbers. C．By telling the differences. D．By asking a question. 2．Why was it thought to be impossible to prove the Pythagorean theorem with trigonometry? A．Trigonometry is only for measuring angles. B．The theorem doesn’t work with trigonometry. C．Mathematicians didn’t know much about triangles. D．Someone thought you can’t use the same idea to prove itself. 3．Who first proved the Pythagorean theorem with trigonometry? A．Jason Zimba. B．Elisha Loomis. C．Jason Zimba and Nuno Luzia. D．Ne’ Kiya Jackson and Calcea Johnson. 4．What does the underlined word “This” in Paragraph 3 refer to? A．Guessing something. B．Publishing their findings. C．Using math to find side lengths. D．Filling a small triangle with larger triangles. 5．What’s the writer’s purpose of writing the passage? A．To encourage students to explore maths. B．To tell a story about two students who like maths. C．To advise people to do more research on triangles. D．To explain why the Pythagorean theorem is difficult to prove. 【答案】1．A 2．D 3．A 4．C 5．A 【导语】本文介绍了毕达哥拉斯定理的应用、证明历程，强调探索数学的意义。 1．推理判断题。文章第一段提到在学校里毕达哥拉斯定理可用于求直角三角形边长，在现实生活中可帮助飞机找到最短飞行路线、建筑设计师运用此定理等，通过举这些例子引出主题，所以是通过举例。故选A。 2．细节理解题。根据文章第二段“In 1927, a mathematician named Elisha Loomis said that proving this with trigonometry (三角学) was impossible. His reason was that you can’t prove (证明) an idea is true by using the idea itself.”可知，认为用三角学证明毕达哥拉斯定理不可能，是因为有人觉得不能用一个理论自己来证明自己。故选D。 3．细节理解题。根据文章第二段“However, a mathematician named Jason Zimba first proved it successfully in 2009.”可知，是Jason Zimba首先成功用三角学证明了毕达哥拉斯定理。故选A。 4．词句猜测题。根据文章第三段“One of them includes filling a large triangle with smaller triangles and using math to find side lengths.”可知，是让其他数学家惊讶的内容，所以This指代“Using math to find side lengths”。故选C。 5．主旨大意题。文章讲述了毕达哥拉斯定理的证明历程，以及两位高中生的新证明方法，最后提到他们的探索之旅鼓励更多年轻数学家创新等，目的是鼓励学生探索数学。故选A。 7.（2025·四川广元·一模） Robots in Life Nowadays, robot has become an important role in our daily life.

For example, Wang Hong, owner of a Beijing-style barbecue restaurant in Chaoyang district, has been offering free drinks to delivery drivers and street cleaners since 2012. More recently, he started a free meals project under the help of the neighborhood. For him, it’s personal. “When I first came to the city, I had nothing. People helped me even though they didn’t know me,” he said. “This is my way of giving back to society and teaching my child to be grateful.” Wang is not alone. Yushiji, a chain of restaurants specializing in lamb soup, is helping by offering discounted (打折的) meals to people in need. For just 12 yuan, customers can enjoy a hot, hearty meal that usually costs much more. Delivery workers like Fan Xingang, 41, who has been riding for 10 years, usually work for at least 10 hours a day in the cold winter. “My colleagues told me about the place offering discounted meals. It’s not just good for the low price,” Fan said. “It’s the respect and kindness they show us.” Beyond Beijing, similar activities have appeared in Shanghai, Tianjin, Heze and Yinchuan. The one warm meal on cold winter days helps more people in need. 1．Who can have free drinks in Wang Hong’s restaurant? A．Anyone. B．Customers. C．Old people and young children.

Taxis in Finland are mostly high-class Benz with a fare of two US dollars a kilometer. You can go anywhere in one, tell the driver to drop you at any place, say that you have some business to attend to, and then walk off without paying your fare. The driver would not be annoyed or worried. ③The dining rooms in all big hotels not only serve their guests, but also serve outside diners (就餐者). Hotel guests have their meals free, so they just go to the free dining rooms to have their meals. The most they would do to show their good faith is to wave their registration (登记) card to the waiter. With such a loose (松散的) check, you can easily use any old registration card to take a couple of friends to dine free of charge. ④The Finnish workers are paid by the hour. They are very much on their own as soon as they have agreed with the boss on the pay. From then on, they just say how many hours they have worked and they will be paid accordingly. ⑤With so much carelessness in everyday life, surely Finland must be a heaven to those who love to take “petty advantages (小便宜)”. But the strange thing is, all the taxi passengers would always come back to pay their fare after they have attended to their business, not a single outsider has ever been found in the free hotel dining rooms. And workers always give an honest account of the exact hours they put in. ⑥As the Finns always act honestly in everything they do, living in such a society has turned everyone into a real “gentleman”. In a society of such high moral (道德的) practice, what need is there for people to be on guard against others? 1．What might happen when taking a taxi in Finland? A．Taxis can be stopped at any time on the way. B．The cost of a Benz is higher than other taxis. C．The driver will feel angry if unpaid on time. D．Only Benz can be used as common taxis. 2．Which of the following is true according to this text? A．Finns love to take “pretty advantages”. B．Taxi drivers can get paid after several asking. C．Outsiders are often invited to have a free meal. D．Finnish workers keep very honest records of their working hours. 3．Why are Finnish people called “foolish” at the beginning of the passage? A．Because their taxis are very expensive. B．Because hotel guests can eat for free. C．Because workers decide their own working hours. D．Because their systems seems easy to cheat. 4．What can we learn from the underlined sentence in the last paragraph? A．Practice makes perfect. B．High efforts always lead to great gains. C．Honesty is a good rule of society. D．Nothing is impossible to a willing heart. 5．Which of the following best shows the structure of the passage? A． B． C． D． 【答案】1．A 2．D 3．D 4．C 5．C 【导语】本文作者从出租车司机对乘客的信任，餐厅服务员对顾客的信任以及公司老板对工人的信任这几方面，表扬了芬兰人民的优秀品质。 1．细节理解题。根据“You can go anywhere in one, tell the driver to drop you at any place, say that you have some business to attend to, and then walk off without paying your fare. The driver would not show the least sign of being annoyed and worried.”可知，在芬兰乘坐出租车时，出租车可以在途中随时停车。故选A。 2．细节理解题。根据“They are very much on their own as soon as they have agreed with the boss on the pay. From then on, they just say how many hours they have worked and they will be paid accordingly.”可知，芬兰工人非常诚实地遵循他们的工作时间。故选D。 3．推理判断题。根据“You can go anywhere in one, tell the driver to drop you at any place, say that you have some business to attend to, and then walk off without paying your fare, The driver would not be annoyed or worried.”“With such a loose (松散的) check, you can easily use any old registration card to take a couple of friends to dine free of charge.”以及“They are very much on their own as soon as they have agreed with the boss on the pay, From then on, they just say how many hours they have worked and they will be paid accordingly.”可知，在芬兰乘出租车可以不付钱就离开，在酒店可以用旧登记卡免费就餐，工人自己说工作时长就能得到相应报酬，这些制度看起来很容易让人钻空子去欺骗，所以文章开头说芬兰人“愚蠢”是因为他们的制度似乎很容易被欺骗。故选D。 4．推理判断题。根据“As the Finns always act on good faith in everything they, do living in such a society has turned everyone into a real ‘gentleman’.”可知，芬兰社会有着很高的道德水平，诚实是社会的良好准则。故选C。 5．篇章结构题。文章第①段点明芬兰人的“傻”，第②③④段以出租车司机、餐厅服务员、工人为例论证了这一点，第⑤段对上面的例子进一步说明，这种“傻”带来了人与人之间的信任，第⑥段作者总结出芬兰人的“傻”实际上是一种优秀的品质，文章结构为①/②③④/⑤/⑥。故选C。 11.（2025·江西南昌·二模） When everyone in China is getting ready for the traditional Chinese New Year, a Chinese AI app is shining around the world.

DeepSeek has great technology and brings big changes to our life, especially in learning and working. Its language models can answer lots of different questions well. In learning, students can use it to get more knowledge. When they have difficult problems in subjects like history, math or science, they can ask DeepSeek for help. It’s just like having a helpful teacher all the time. At work, it makes employees better at analyzing data (分析数据). Marketers can use it to guess what will happen in the market, and writers can find ideas from it to write better things. However, while DeepSeek gives us so much convenience, there are also problems. Some students depend too much on it without thinking. This is a really serious problem. In fact, with the growth of AI, we need to pay more attention to improving our creativity. In the future, jobs that need people to do the same thing over and over again will be taken by AI. Only those who are really creative can succeed. For example, in art design, designers should use their own ideas to make great works instead of AI works. In science, researchers need to think of new ideas to find out things we don’t know. With this in mind, we should see AI as a useful tool, not something that takes the place of our own thinking. We must work on developing our creativity by keeping learning and practicing to get ready for the future. 1．What can people do with DeepSeek according to Paragraph 2? ①get more knowledge        ②change the history ③learn to create more challenges    ④predict what will happen ⑤find better ideas for writing A．②③⑤ B．①④⑤ C．②③④ D．①③⑤ 2．What does the underlined word “This” in Paragraph 3 mean?

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

In fact, dancing has been considered one of the best exercises to fight bad feelings in recent years. Why? Dancing, which involves (包含) moving the body to different kinds of music, helps our bodies produce much endorphin (内啡肽), a chemical (化学物质) that makes us feel relaxed and happy. While simply listening to music or doing sports can cheer us up, mixing them together gives better results. In a study, a group of German scientists tested some patients under three conditions: a group dancing with music, a group just listening to music, and a group riding bikes without music. The results showed that the first group were the least depressed. Dancing can bring people together, too. Tango, Latin or other social dancing require us to move with others, which can improve our sense of social bonding (联系), according to IBSA, a Swiss scientific foundation. Dancing also helps people let go of bad feelings. Studies have found that depression often has to do with sadness about the past or worries about the future. However, dancing helps you focus on the present, connect with your body, and free your mind for a while, as reported by Psych Central, a mental health news website. Studies showed that if people enjoy any kind of music, dancing can be a helpful way to reduce stress. Dancing can take any form, whether it’s moving around the house to a song or going out dancing with friends. The important part of movement (运动) is that it is fun. So, it isn’t any excuse for you not to give dancing a chance! 1．Why does dancing is the best exercise to fight bad feelings? A．Because lots of people take up dancing as a hobby. B．Because dancing involves different kinds of music. C．Because dancing helps our bodies produce much endorphin.

C．Everyone can reduce the stress through dancing, even though he or she doesn’t like the music. D．It’s better for people to go out dancing with friends, instead of moving around the house to a song. 5．What would be the best structure of the passage? A．B． C． D． 【答案】1．C 2．C 3．A 4．B 5．B 【导语】本文主要介绍了跳舞作为对抗不良情绪的运动的益处。 1．细节理解题。根据“Dancing... helps our bodies produce much endorphin, a chemical that makes us feel relaxed and happy.”可知，跳舞能帮助身体产生内啡肽，这是它成为对抗不良情绪最佳运动之一的原因。故选C。 2．推理判断题。根据“dancing can be a helpful way to reduce stress”可知，跳舞可减轻压力，但不是忘记所有压力，选项C“它能帮助人们忘记所有压力。”表述过于绝对，不属于跳舞的优点。故选C。 3．词句猜测题。“depressed”前有最高级“least”，意为“最少”，结合第三段中“ doing sports can cheer us up”及提到的不同分组测试可推知，“depressed”应与“cheer...up”意思相反，跳舞的那组人抑郁程度最低，“depressed”意思应与“sad”相近。故选A。 4．推理判断题。根据“Studies showed that if people enjoy any kind of music, dancing can be a helpful way to reduce stress.”可知，喜欢音乐的人，跳舞可减轻压力，即放松。故选B。 5．篇章结构题。通读全文内容可知，第一段引出跳舞是对抗不良情绪的好运动这一话题，②—⑤段分别从产生内啡肽、聚集人群、摆脱不良情绪等方面阐述跳舞的好处，最后一段总结鼓励尝试跳舞，整体是总—分—总结构。故选B。 14.（2025·江西景德镇·二模） Recently, the topic “Why are cinema seats usually red?” has caused hot discussions on the Internet again. Many netizens said, “I didn’t even notice the color of the seats before.” One idea is that cinema seats are red because they keep the color tradition of ancient theaters. Early theater seats were mainly for the royal and noble people (皇家贵族). They liked the gorgeous red color, so later cinema seats followed this tradition. But it makes people wonder. Cinemas are no longer just for the royal and noble. People’s tastes are becoming more various. Why aren’t there seats in all kinds of colors in cinemas? In fact, many cinema seats are designed to be red to make our movie-watching experience better. When the indoor light gets dark, red is the first color that we can’t see. For example, in bright light, the red flowers of geraniums (天竺葵) stand out against the green background. But when the light becomes dim, the flowers quickly change from bright red to a darker color. The green plants behind also lose their vividness. but they fade (褪色) more slowly. So they become more noticeable than the red flowers. When the light gets even weaker, the whole scene turns black and white. The same is true for the movie-watching experience in cinemas. As the cinema lights dim, the seats, walls and curtains (usually red too) soon turn black. This helps us focus on the screen and enjoy the movie more. Sure, besides red seats, some netizens said they’ve seen black seats. Not all cinemas use red seats, and black seats are also good. But you seldom see green or blue seats in cinemas. These colors take too long to fade and may break our attention while watching movies. 1．Why were early theater seats red according to the passage? A．Because red was a symbol of power. B．Because the royal and noble people liked red. C．Because red made people excited. D．Because red could make seats last longer. 2．What does the underlined word “it” refer to in Paragraph 2? A．The fact that many netizens didn’t notice the seat color before. B．The historical preference of royal people for red seats in ancient times. C．The situation that cinemas are no longer just for the royal and noble while seats are still mostly red. D．The idea that red is the first color to disappear in the dark. 3．How does the writer support his opinion in Paragraph 3? A．By giving an example. B．By listing numbers. C．By asking a question. D．By telling a story. 4．Which of the following can be inferred from the passage? A．All cinemas will use red seats in the future. B．Green seats will be the most popular seats in cinemas one day.
