Look at that! Isn’t it a real fish?” The bionic (仿生) fish, named “Jinlin”, was swimming lively like a real one. It was developed by researchers at Shanghai Ocean University. This invention isn’t just for fun—it shows how humans copy nature to solve problems. That is a science called bionics. Over millions of years, animals and plants have developed smart ways to survive. For example, kingfishers are experts at moving fast between air and water with very little noise. Through their study, scientists discovered that the birds’ long beaks (喙) enabled this ability. Then they used the knowledge to change the front of the high-speed train. This change cut down noise level, increased speed by 10% and greatly saved energy. This combination (结合) of biology and engineering is the key to success in bionics. And it has set the stage for the rise of other new technologies. Driven by robotics and AI, bionics has grown rapidly. The AI-powered bionic fish “Jinlin” can be used for environmental protection and deep sea exploration. In medicine, bionic arms can work similarly to real arms. Sensors allow the user to “feel” touch and pressure. Motors help the bionic arms make movements, like human muscles (肌肉). With AI, the bionic arms are able to “learn” new tasks and become smarter over time. These inventions are examples to show how bionics bridges biology and new technologies to solve humans’ problems. Although so much progress has been made, bionics faces challenges. Nature’s designs are hard to copy perfectly. As for bionic arms, one key area of development is Brain-Computer Interface (脑机接口). More work on direct communication between the brain and bionic arms is required to control movements as naturally as real arms. Researchers are also working on creating new materials and structures which can sense and repair themselves. While there’s still a long way to go, the future of bionics is full of possibilities. Stay hungry. Stay foolish. Maybe you’ll be the next one to change the world! 9．Why does the writer mention “Jinlin” at the beginning of the passage? A．To suggest some new ideas. B．To lead into the topic of bionics. C．To explain the habits of fish. D．To show the importance of bionics. 10．What can we learn from Paragraph 3? A．Robotics and AI have developed fast because of bionics. B．The bionic fish “Jinlin” is used for medical purposes. C．Motors allow the bionic arms to make movements. D．Sensors help bionic arms learn new tasks over time. 11．According to Paragraph 4, how would scientists make bionic arms more like real ones? ① By connecting motors with smart phones. ② By developing new materials and structures. ③ By improving Brain-Computer Interface. ④ By changing the shape and look of bionic arms. A．①② B．②③ C．①④ D．③④ 12．Which of the following shows the use of bionics? A．Drawing a picture of birds by watching real birds. B．Building a house with natural materials like wood. C．Designing a camera by copying some insects’ eyes. D．Learning to dance by studying monkeys’ movements. 【答案】9．B 10．C 11．B 12．C 【导语】本文介绍了仿生学这一科学领域，通过模仿自然界的生物结构和功能来解决人类面临的问题。 9．推理判断题。根据“This invention isn’t just for fun—it shows how humans copy nature to solve problems.

Chinese people love different kinds of tea. Among them, black tea and white tea from Fujian, green tea from Zhejiang and Anhui, and dark tea from Yunnan are some of the favorites. In the Song Dynasty (960—1279), tea culture reached new heights. The beauty of the Song tea came alive through “dian cha”. Powdered (粉状的) tea was whisked (搅打) with water into soft “clouds”. White tea was often used to make the “clouds” as white as the moonlight. Tea artists used clean water to draw pictures on them with a teaspoon. The way of serving dian cha became a living art. It later influenced Japanese tea culture. Today, more young people are learning and passing it on. Yunnan’s dark tea, especially Pu’er, got famous because of the Ancient Tea Horse Road. And it won popularity around the world. In 1976, Frenchman Fred Kempler found a new kind of Pu’er from Yunnan in a Hong Kong shop. In the same year, he visited Yunnan, bought nearly two tons, and began to sell “Yunnan Tuocha” in Europe. Since 1986, Yunnan’s Pu’er tuocha has got many prizes at food expos (博览会) in France, America and other countries. Today you can see an old Australian lady holding a cup of tea of sun-dried Pu’er, though she still enjoys her English-style black tea with milk and sugar. Tea is a bridge of friendship among nations and peoples. Tea is enjoyed timelessly from ancient to modern times. Each cup of dian cha, white as the moonlight, turned tea into art, and art into eternity (永恒). Tea is also loved globally from the east to the west. Each cup of Pu’er, with the smell of sunshine, turns tea into friendship, and friendship into a shared future. 21．What kind of tea was often used for dian cha according to the passage? A．Black tea.

Most lanternfish are brown on top and silver underneath (在下面). They have very large eyes. They eat small sea animals. If you want to find them, you must go deep into the sea. As you go deeper and deeper, the daylight (日光) becomes dimmer and dimmer. At over 152 metres below the surface (表面) of the water, the daylight is almost gone. The water is dark blue. There you will find lanternfish. There are over 230 different kinds of lanternfish in the world. Most lanternfish are just as long as your fingers. Even the biggest lanternfish are only about 15 centimetres (厘米) long. They are not large in size. However, each lanternfish has about 100 small round lights on the lower part of its body. The fish use their lights to help them catch food. They also use their lights to send information so that they can recognise (认出) each other. At night, they may swim up near the surface of the sea. Their lights shine like stars under the water. Lanternfish are one of the wonders of the sea. 25．What is the colour of most lanternfish on top? A．Brown. B．Green. C．Red. D．Silver. 26．What does the word “dimmer” mean in Paragraph 2? A．Quicker. B．Easier. C．Richer. D．Darker. 27．How many kinds of lanternfish are there in the world? A．Over 152. B．Over 230. C．About 15.

Corals usually provide nitrogen (氮) to algae, and in return they get carbon (碳), which gives them energy. In the early 1980s, a huge heat wave turned more than 90 percent of these corals a pale, lifeless white. And it was believed that about 50 percent of reefs with beautiful corals might disappear by 2030. Heat waves warmed up the same Pacific waters in the late 1990s and again in 2015—2016, but scientists noticed that these heat waves didn’t influence the reefs as badly as the first. Maybe corals have found a way to adapt (适应). Swimming to cooler waters is not a good choice for corals, for it makes them easily hurt by the changing climate. But corals are able to adapt. Some turn to those algae that can deal well with heat. Others can use rows of tiny hairs on their bodies to “fan” away too much harmful oxygen  (O2) let out by stressed-out algae. Certain baby corals change their own metabolisms (新陈代谢) in order to fight the warming waters. But all these adaptations can protect themselves only to some degree. After studying and understanding these adaptations, scientists are trying to find ways to help corals fight. If researchers can make corals accept algae that can deal with heat pressure or if they energize genes (基因) that can deal with heat pressure, it will raise the corals’ chance of living through future ocean heat waves. “When I go down to the sea and see a beautiful healthy reef with these colorful corals, I feel this pleasure of being in this underwater world,” a famous biologist says. “It will be really sad to see it dead. But that does drive you to want to use your skills and your love to help fight.” 30．What can we know from paragraph 1? A．Corals make algae more colorful. B．Algae provide room for corals to live in. C．Corals and algae depend on each other. D．Algae produce nitrogen to influence corals. 31．What does the underlined part “the first” in paragraph 2 refer to? A．The heat wave in the early 1980s. B．The heat wave in the late 1990s. C．The Pacific waters in 2015—2016. D．The reefs’ disappearance by 2030. 32．What difficulty do corals face? A．They cannot completely adapt to heat waves. B．They cannot change their own metabolisms. C．They have no ability to swim to cooler waters. D．They have no ability to drive away harmful oxygen. 33．What can we infer from the last paragraph? A．It’s necessary to live with corals. B．The ocean has become unhealthy. C．We should try our best to save corals. D．Making a study of the ocean is a must. 34．Which would be the best title for the text? A．Corals Die Out B．Corals Fight Back C．Corals Break Down D．Corals Come into Being 【答案】30．C 31．A 32．A 33．C 34．B 【导语】本文主要介绍了珊瑚礁在面对热浪时的适应方式以及科学家如何帮助珊瑚礁生存。 30．推理判断题。根据“Corals usually provide nitrogen (氮) to algae, and in return they get carbon (碳), which gives them energy.”可知珊瑚通常为藻类提供氮，作为回报，它们获得碳，这为它们提供了能量，可见珊瑚和藻类相互依赖。故选C。 31．词义猜测题。根据“In the early 1980s, a huge heat wave turned more than 90 percent of these corals a pale, lifeless white”以及“but scientists noticed that these heat waves didn’t influence the reefs as badly as the first.”可知这些热浪对珊瑚礁的影响并不像第一次那么严重，故此处“the first”指代的是1980年代初的热浪。故选A。 32．推理判断题。根据“But all these adaptations can protect themselves only to some degree.”可知所有这些适应只能在一定程度上保护自己，可见珊瑚不能完全适应热浪。故选A。 33．推理判断题。根据“It will be really sad to see it dead. But that does drive you to want to use your skills and your love to help fight”可知看到珊瑚死亡很伤心，这让我们想要帮助它们，即我们应该尽最大努力拯救珊瑚。故选C。 34．最佳标题题。本文主要介绍了珊瑚礁在面对热浪时的适应方式以及科学家如何帮助珊瑚礁生存，以选项B“珊瑚反击”为标题最合适。故选B。 （2025·江西·中考真题） You can put a stamp on it, you can write an address on it, and you can send it through the mail. 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. 35．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. 36．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. 37．In which part of the magazine could we read the passage? A．Story Time. B．History World. C．Sports News. D．Amazing Nature. 38．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. 39．What would be the best structure of the passage?

Environmental scientists did some research and they learned that just one tree can save a city about 2,800 yuan over the tree’s lifetime. One way trees save money is by helping us save energy. Big trees stop the summer sun from shining directly to the buildings. Big trees block (遮挡) the winter wind. In this way, they help people to save the energy to make their homes and offices cool or warm. Saving energy means saving money! There are other ways for trees to help a city save money. For example, when it rains, a city’s sewers (下水道) fill up with water. Cities have to spend lots of money cleaning that water. But trees’ leaves and roots take in rainwater before it gets to the dirty sewers. With the help of trees, there is less water to clean and money is saved. 45．What does the passage mainly talk about? A．How to protect trees. B．How to study trees. C．How trees help cities save money. D．How trees make cities look nice. 46．The underlined word “they” refers to “_________”. A．city cleaners B．environmental scientists C．big trees D．tall buildings 47．To better support the topic sentence of Paragraph 3, the writer _________. A．gives an example B．asks a question C．uses pictures D．lists numbers 【答案】45．C 46．C 47．A 【导语】本文主要讲述了树木如何帮助城市节省金钱。 45．主旨大意题。根据“Most people agree that trees look nice. But not too many people know trees can also help us save money.”以及全文内容可知，文章主要讨论树木如何通过多种方式（如节约能源、吸收雨水等）帮助城市节省开支。故选C。 46．词句猜测题。根据“Big trees stop the summer sun from shining directly to the buildings. Big trees block (遮挡) the winter wind. In this way, they help people to save the energy to make their homes and offices cool or warm.”可知，大树挡住了夏天的阳光直射到建筑物上。大树挡住了冬天的风。通过这种方式，它们帮助人们节省能源，使他们的家庭和办公室变冷或变暖，故此处的“they”指代前文提到的“big trees”，因为大树通过遮挡阳光和寒风帮助人们节约能源。故选C。 47．细节理解题。根据“For example, when it rains, a city’s sewers (下水道) fill up with water.”可知，作者通过举例（雨水被树叶和根系吸收）来支持段落主题句“树木帮助城市节省金钱的其他方式”。故选A。 （2025·贵州·中考真题） Human actions are affecting the environment. We will lose more of the natural world if we don’t try to change things. Though it is difficult, we can make a difference. Each small change is important, and luckily more individuals (个人) and organizations are working on conservation (保护) projects. Samson, an African fisherman, has become a voice for the ocean. He and the other fishermen realized they were catching fewer and fewer fish. They were overfishing. Working with the World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF), Samson learned they had to fish more carefully. He realized they shouldn’t catch so many young fish because if there are too few of them, there won’t be enough adult fish to reproduce. He believes protecting the ocean is everybody’s job. As he says, “Take your responsibilities and never think that you are alone.” In Florida, the Sea Turtle Conservancy (STC) noticed there were always plenty of single-use plastic items, like bottles and drinking straws (吸管), on the beaches. These items can hurt the ocean wildlife terribly. Straws are especially dangerous for turtles because they can get stuck in turtles’ noses and hurt them badly. So, the STC started the project “Where are the straws?” asking local restaurants to stop giving customers straws with their drinks. Now, restaurants will only give straws if customers ask for them, and they only give out paper straws. Those are just two examples of the many conservation efforts around the world today. They both show us that change is possible and that it can start with small actions. We are part of the problem. It’s time to be part of the solution. 48．What does the underlined word “them” in paragraph 2 refer to? A．Young fish. B．Oceans. C．Fishermen. 49．What would happen through STC’s efforts? A．More and more tourists would relax on the beaches. B．There would be fewer plastic straws on the beaches C．Customers would buy more drinks from restaurants. 50．What is the structure of the text?（P= paragraph） A． B． C． 51．Which can be the best title for the text? A．Playing a role in stopping plastic straws B．Becoming a voice for saving young fish C．Making a difference to the natural world 【答案】48．A 49．B 50．B 51．C 【导语】本文通过非洲渔民Samson的渔业保护行动和佛罗里达STC的塑料吸管限制项目，说明人类可以通过小行动改善环境问题。 48．代词指代题。根据“He realized they shouldn’t catch so many young fish because if there are too few of them, there won’ be enough adult fish to reproduce.”可知，下划线的“them”指代前文提到的“young fish”。故选A。 49．细节理解题。根据“the STC started the project ‘Where are the straws?’ asking local restaurants to stop giving customers straws with their drinks…they only give out paper straws”可知，STC的努力会减少海滩上的塑料吸管数量。故选B。 50．篇章结构题。文章第一段提出“人类行为影响环境，每个人的小改变都重要”；第二段讲述渔民Samson与WWF合作保护海洋的案例；第三段介绍STC通过减少塑料吸管保护海龟的案例；第四段总结这些努力证明改变可行，呼吁人们参与解决问题。结构为“总 — 分 — 总”，故选B。 51．最佳标题题。全文通过渔民和STC的案例，强调个人和小行动对自然保护的积极影响，最贴合标题的是选项C“为自然世界带来改变”。故选C。 （2025·贵州·中考真题） Chile is a long and beautiful country with the ocean to the west and mountains to the east. Some of the villages are a very long way from the cities, and some of the schools are very small. It’s difficult for small schools to teach science because they don’t have enough teachers or equipment (设备). This is where the Science Bus project can help. The bus brings special science teachers, new ideas, and equipment to schools in different parts of the country. Sometimes, the children go inside the bus for their science classes or clubs. Sometimes, the teachers bring the equipment inside the school building. The children do experiments. The materials used in the experiments are easy to find-for example, recycled plastic bottles—so that the class teacher can repeal the experiments with the class after the bus leaves. The goal of the Science Bus is to bring science to children all over Chile. Since 2012, the bus has visited many schools in Chile, and hundreds of teachers have learned how to make their science classes fun and exciting. In other parts of the world, children can take part in events called Bioblitzes. During a Bioblitz, scientists, families, students, teachers, and other people work together to collect as many different kinds of plants and animals as possible in a certain place, such as a park or a forest. Bioblitzes are a fun way to help scientists and to discover more about the plants and animals around us. Science is important for all of us because it helps us understand our world. We can learn about science inside or outside of the classroom. 52．Why do Chile’s small schools need the Science Bus? A．They don’t have enough school buildings or clubs. B．They are short of science teachers and equipment. C．They need special materials to repeat experiments. 53．What do people do during a Bioblitz? A．Recycle plastic bottles. B．Visit different schools. C．Collect plants and animals. 54．What do the Science Bus and Bioblitzes have in common? A．They make science learning interesting. B．They are popular with children in Chile. C．They choose science courses for schools. 55．What is the writer’s purpose in writing the text? A．To encourage us to learn science. B．To advise us to get close to nature.

However, a recent scientific report shows that the world lost 300,000 square kilometers of forests in 2024. That’s an area about the size of Italy. According to the report, for the first time ever, fires were the biggest cause of forest loss. ▲ . This country has the largest area of rainforest in the world. Last year, it suffered from a long period of dry weather. Wildfires broke out and spread. As a result, about 25,000 square kilometers of the primary rainforest disappeared in the country. This meant fires caused 66% of its forest loss. The second biggest cause of the world’s forest loss was clearing land for farming. As people need more farmland, they keep cutting down forests every year. In 2024, the area of forest cleared for farming increased by 14% worldwide. The situation was more severe in developing countries. For example, Bolivia’s forest loss doubled in 2024. Without doubt, something must be done. Experts call on governments, businesses and people to work together before it is too late. It seems that China has set a good example. Thanks to cooperation at many levels, China had the biggest increase in forest area among all countries in 2024. That year alone, newly-planted trees in China covered an area of nearly 45,000 square kilometers, according to a news report. If more countries start to take action like China, the earth will become a greener planet. 56．The size of Italy is mentioned in Paragraph 1 to show _______. A．why we need forests.

Imagine how cheerful you are when it clears up after long cold rainy days. Let’s discover science behind sunlight. Sunlight causes you to produce a chemical (化学物质) called serotonin (血清素). When you are exposed to sunlight, your body will make more serotonin. Higher levels of serotonin will keep you in good spirits. At night, when there is little or no light, your body produces another chemical-melatonin (褪黑激素). It helps your body relax and will make you feel tired, which can prepare you for a good night’s sleep. You should keep a good balance between these two chemicals. However, for many people, it is hard to balance sunlight with darkness. People who stay indoors a lot may not get enough sunlight. The light in a house is usually about 100 times less than that outside on a sunny day. That’s why it is believed that those people should get outside in the sunshine. They can get some exercise, enjoy the fresh air and be happy, all at the same time. There are places where it gets dark for a long time in the winter. People in those places are easier to get seasonal affective disorder (SAD). People with SAD usually go through bad experiences such as low energy and sadness. The most common treatment for those people is to sit under bright artificial (人工的) lights for some time. The roles that sunshine plays in people’s life are more than those above. For example, your body produces Vitamin D (维生素D) from sunlight, which is important for being healthy. In fact, there is more science about sunlight for you to discover. So next time, when you notice the sunshine on your shoulder, take a moment to think, “Why do we love sunshine?” 根据材料内容选择最佳答案。 61．Which of the following can take the place of “are exposed to” in the text? A．stay in B．care about C．dream of D．depend on 62．What does Paragraph 2 mainly talk about? A．What can help people to keep in good spirits B．How light influences people through chemicals. C．Why melatonin can help people relax for a sleep. D．Which chemical is thought to be more important. 63．Which of the following is an opinion (观点) according to the text? A．There are places where it gets dark for a long time in the winter. B．People who stay indoors a lot should get outside in the sunshine. C．The light in a house is usually less than that outside on a sunny day. D．People’s bodies produce something called Vitamin D from sunlight. 64．Jack is a person with SAD．How could he solve his problem according to the text? A．By staying indoors a lot. B．By taking in more fresh air. C．By doing some exercise. D．By using man-made lights. 65．Why is the sentence “Why do we love sunshine?” written in the last paragraph? A．To encourage readers to learn more about sunlight. B．To advise readers to stay in houses for enough time. C．To expect readers to realize the importance of Vitamin D．To invite readers to walk into nature to enjoy the fresh air. 【答案】61．A 62．B 63．B 64．D 65．A 【导语】本文主要介绍阳光对于人们的影响。 61．词句猜测题。根据“Sunlight causes you to produce a chemical (化学物质) called serotonin (血清素). When you are exposed to sunlight, your body will make more serotonin.”可知，阳光会促使你体内产生一种名为血清素的化学物质。当你暴露在阳光下时，你的身体会分泌出更多的血清素。“are exposed to”表示“暴露于”，与“stay in”语意相近。故选A。 62．段落大意题。分析第二段内容可知，本段主要介绍光是如何通过化学物质影响人的，故选B。 63．推理判断题。根据“That’s why it is believed that those people should get outside in the sunshine.”可知，这就是为什么人们认为那些人应该到户外去晒晒太阳的原因。对应B选项是观点，其他三项是事实。故选B。 64．细节理解题。根据“People with SAD usually go through bad experiences such as low energy and sadness. The most common treatment for those people is to sit under bright artificial (人工的) lights for some time.”可知，对于这类患者，最常见的治疗方法是坐在明亮的人造灯光下一段时间。故选D。 65．推理判断题。根据“So next time, when you notice the sunshine on your shoulder, take a moment to think, ‘Why do we love sunshine?’”可知，所以下次当你看到阳光洒在你的肩头时，就花点时间思考一下：“我们为什么喜欢阳光呢？”由此可推断，作者是为了鼓励读者多了解阳光。故选A。 （2025·贵州·中考真题） What makes an art form last for over 600 years?

People believed that silk was first invented by Leizu, the wife of the Yellow Emperor. Leizu learned how to make cocoons (蚕茧) into soft and strong cloth. This magical cloth became known as “silk”, and it was so valuable that it was called “China’s Gold”. Following kings’ orders, the Chinese kept the secret of making silk for centuries. But then, something amazing happened! During the Han Dynasty, the brave officer Zhang Qian traveled west as far as Central Asia and brought silk there. As years passed by, silk became so important that the trade road from Europe to China got its name—the Silk Road. The Silk Road became a busy highway for traders who carried things across deserts and mountains. From China, people sold silk and tea. In return, they received treasures such as spices (香料), gold and silver from the West. At the very beginning, it was mainly about trade; then people began to share ideas, technologies and cultures. For example, Chinese inventions like papermaking were spread to the West, while new ideas about math and science came to China. Most importantly, the Silk Road helped different cultures learn from each other. Art, music and even language were shared along this ancient road. In places like the Dunhuang Grottoes (敦煌石窟) in China, you can see how art pieces combined (融合) Eastern and Western styles into something distinctive. It can not be seen anywhere else. The story of the Silk Road tells us how people from faraway lands could become friends through trade and shared ideas. Today, we remember the Silk Road as one of the greatest examples of cooperation and exchange in history. It shows us how important it is to learn about and respect each other’s traditions, and that different cultures can work together to create amazing things. 91．Who invented silk in ancient China?

Peter writes music. He likes sounds and uses natural sounds as part of his music. He often went out to the wild with his microphone and recorded interesting sounds to put in movies or to use in his own songs. Instead of trying to capture just the sound of one animal or bird, he recorded the sound of everything all together—the animals, the trees, the wind and the earth. He called these recordings “soundscapes”—the sound of a certain place. Every soundscape Peter recorded had a lot of information. Back in his workshop, Peter used a computer to make a picture of all the sounds going on in a place. Each animal, bird and insect had its own place on the picture—its own notes in the music. The busier the picture, the richer the life in that place. “While a picture may be worth 1,000 words, a soundscape is worth 1,000 pictures,” Peter said. “Our ears tell us the sound of every leaf and animal and speak to the natural sources (来源) of our lives, which may hold the secrets of love for all things, especially our own humanity.” But not everything is satisfying. When Peter began recording over forty years ago, he could record for ten hours and get one hour of usable material good enough for a movie. Now, because of human activities, it can take up to 1,000 hours or more to get the same thing. Some of the places he has recorded over the years have slowly fallen silent. His sound pictures show that although nature might look the same to humans, it has lost part of its orchestra (管弦乐队). So next time you are in the forests, try another way to look—shut your eyes, and listen. 96．Why did Peter record natural sounds? A．To write songs for a music group. B．To discover rich lives in the forest. C．To use some of them in his music. D．To make music about birds singing. 97．What does the underlined word “capture” in paragraph 2 mean? A．Shut. B．Catch. C．Touch. D．Check. 98．What is a sound picture in the text? A．The sound of every leaf and animal in nature. B．The sound recorded in the natural environment. C．A picture of music with sounds of 1,000 animals. D．A picture of music with natural sounds in a place. 99．What can we learn from paragraph 4? A．Recording sounds needs less material. B．Sound pictures are the same as before. C．Some beautiful sounds in nature are lost. D．Human activities improve recording results. 100．What does the writer mainly want to tell us? A．Nature is the source of our future. B．Nature has wonders to be heard. C．Making music enriches our lives. D．Making music needs information. 【答案】96．C 97．B 98．D 99．C 100．B 【导语】本文主要讲述了Peter通过录制自然声音来创作音乐，并强调了自然声音的丰富性和重要性。 96．细节理解题。根据“He often went out to the wild with his microphone and recorded interesting sounds to put in movies or to use in his own songs.”可知，Peter录制自然声音是为了在他的音乐中使用这些声音。故选C。 97．词句猜测题。根据“Instead of trying to capture just the sound of one animal or bird, he recorded the sound of everything all together—the animals, the trees, the wind and the earth”可知他没有试图只捕捉一种动物或鸟类的声音，而是把所有东西的声音都记录下来，故此处划线部分意为“捕捉”，和catch意义相近。故选B。 98．细节理解题。根据“Peter used a computer to make a picture of all the sounds going on in a place. Each animal, bird and insect had its own place on the picture—its own notes in the music”可知“sound picture”是指用计算机制作的包含某个地方所有声音的图片，即包含自然声音的音乐图片。故选D。 99．细节理解题。根据“Now, because of human activities, it can take up to 1,000 hours or more to get the same thing. Some of the places he has recorded over the years have slowly fallen silent.”可知由于人类活动的影响，一些自然声音已经逐渐消失。故选C。 100．主旨大意题。本文主要讲述了Peter通过录制自然声音来创作音乐，并强调了自然声音的丰富性和重要性，所以文章主要告诉我们大自然有奇妙的声音。故选B。 （2025·福建·中考真题） The earth is our home.

Actually, in China, trains have turned into centres which bring together the public and the nation’s intangible cultural Heritage (ICH，非物质文化遗产). Trains go across China and they are becoming ideal places for introducing local traditional culture. A good example is the K7041 train from Harbin to Mohe in Northeast China’s Heilongjiang Province. On the ICH train, Gulayier, dressed in traditional clothes, sang Oroqen folk songs and his partner played the Oroqen jaw harp, a musical instrument. Tourists on the train, especially those from southern China, sang and danced excitedly with the two performers (表演者) together. Gulayier said the train made it easier to hold tourists’ attention to his shows. He thought the train was a good platform for promoting (促进) ICH. Traditional heritage comes to life on trains. More ICH such as Qinhuai lanterns from Nanjing, Yulin puppet shows, and tea-picking operas in Guangxi have also made appearances on high-speed trains across China. It offers passengers a close-up way to experience traditional culture. Professor Xiao Fang from Beijing Normal University shares Gulayier’s opinion on the new use of ICH trains. He has pointed out another advantage of this. Beyond cultural promotion, it offers help for tourism. When passengers enjoy local traditions on board, they often develop a deeper interest in exploring the places they pass through. However, the ICH train journeys still have challenges, including the narrow space on trains and passengers getting on and off at each station. Therefore, some solutions are coming up cultural corners show traditional arts, and QR codes connect to more digital information. These help passengers to explore ICH at their own pace and continue learning after their journey ends. The success of ICH trains offers valuable lessons for cultural protection worldwide, proving that innovation (革新) and tradition can work together to keep cultural heritage alive for future generations. 106．What is the fresh experience for passengers on the K7041 train? A．Travelling farther north. B．Joining in live shows. C．Wearing traditional clothes. D．Having fun on the phone. 107．What do Gulayier and Professor Xiao both agree? A．ICH encourages more local visits. B．Trains help make ICH more popular. C．ICH improves the Chinese train journeys. D．Passengers welcome performers on ICH trains. 108．What does paragraph 5 mention about the ICH train journeys? A．Their features and influence. B．Their reasons and results. C．Their problems and methods. D．Their future and improvement. 109．What can be the best title for the passage? A．Trains push China’s cultural heritage further. B．China puts arms around local artists on ICH trains. C．More ICH trains begin running on railways in China. D．Train passengers share different local cultures of China. 【答案】106．B 107．B 108．C 109．A 【导语】本文主要讲述了中国火车成为推广非物质文化遗产（ICH）的平台，通过现场表演、文化展示等方式让乘客近距离体验传统文化，并促进旅游业发展，同时面临空间限制等挑战。 106．细节理解题。根据“Tourists on the train, especially those from southern China, sang and danced excitedly with the two performers (表演者) together.”可知，乘客在K7041火车上的新鲜体验是参与现场表演（如与表演者共舞）。故选B。 107．推理判断题。根据“He thought the train was a good platform for promoting (促进) ICH”和“Beyond cultural promotion, it offers help for tourism”可推测出，两人均认为火车有助于推广ICH。故选B。 108．主旨大意题。根据“However, the ICH train journeys still have challenges”和“Therefore, some solutions are coming up...”可知，本段先提出挑战（如狭窄空间），再提出解决方法（如文化角和二维码）。故选C。 109．最佳标题题。通读全文可知，文章主要围绕火车推动ICH传播的主题展开介绍，选项A“列车推动中国非遗发展”适合作为最佳标题。故选A。 （2025·四川眉山·中考真题） There is no doubt that the world will be a very different place in 2045. So what’s going to happen then? It’s pretty likely that robots and AI technology will change a lot of industries. Also, self-driving and flying cars will come into our daily life, bringing us much convenience. However, scientists have even bigger ideas. In a video series called Forward to the Future, three researchers predicted what they imagined would be reality in 2045. Dr. Justin Sanchez believes we’ll be at a point where we can control things simply by using our mind. “Imagine a world where you could just use your thoughts to control your environment,” Justin said. According to him, experts are working on certain technologies that can make this happen. They’ve made some progress already. The future has more than just that. Many other exciting things could change the building and other objects around us, says Stefanie Tompkins. “We’ll be able to build things that are very strong but also lightweight (轻量型的). We don’t even know the materials around us,” she predicted. Pam Melroy believes we’re going to find that we have a very different relationship with the machines around us. “I think we’ll begin to see a time when we’re able to control a machine just by pressing a button (按钮) or only saying some simple words,” she said. For example, right now to land a plane safely, a pilot has to go through many steps in the right order. But in 2045, in Pam’s words, a pilot may just need to say the words “prepare for landing”. Then the computer knows the steps it needs to take. Or perhaps, with AI, a pilot won’t even be necessary. 110．What does the underlined word “this” refer to in Paragraph 3? A．Making progress in AI technology. B．Driving flying cars in our daily life. C．Controlling things by using our mind. D．Using robots in different industries. 111．Which of the following would be possible according to Stefanie? A．AI helps pilots to land planes. B．Computers operate all machines. C．Self-driving cars travel around us. D．Houses are strong but lightweight. 112．Which is the best title for the passage? A．Challenges for AI in the Future B．Experts’ Predictions of Life in 2045 C．Famous Scientists in New Technologies D．New Kinds of Building Materials 113．In which part of a newspaper can we read this passage? A．Health & Lifestyle. B．Education & Culture. C．Nature & Environment. D．Science & Technology. 【答案】110．C 111．D 112．B 113．D 【导语】本文预测2045年科技发展，包括脑控技术、新型建材及人机交互变革。 110．词句猜测题。根据“Imagine a world where you could just use your thoughts to control your environment”可知，this指代前句Justin所述的内容——“use your thoughts to control your environment”。故选C。 111．细节理解题。根据“We’ll be able to build things that are very strong but also lightweight (轻量型的). We don’t even know the materials around us”可知，我们将能够制造出既坚固又轻便的东西。故选D。 112．最佳标题题。根据全文内容可知，全文核心为三位科学家对2045年生活的具体预测，故选B。 113．推理判断题。本文预测2045年科技发展，与科技领域相关，故选D。 （2025·四川眉山·中考真题） Have you seen circles, squares and triangles (三角形) everywhere in your daily life? Have you thought about their meanings in films? Much like colors, different shapes can show different features (特征) of characters in the scenes. Circles represent (象征) things that are soft and natural. The round shape reminds us of things that appear in nature, like the sun, flowers, raindrops and so on. We can also connect circles with beautiful eyes, babies’ round faces... All these things make us feel happy and warm. This is why so many cartoon characters’ bodies—heroes, kids, good people—are round in shape, because circles represent goodness, happiness and friendliness. Squares show things that are unnatural or man-made, or things that are boring or old-fashioned. In Up, Carl, an elderly man, has a square face and wears square glasses, while Russell, an 8-year-old boy with a round face, always wears round medals. These shapes show the characters’ personalities. Carl is stubborn (执拗的) and lonely, while Russell is lovely and full of energy. The angriest shape is the triangle. Kids who draw a monster with sharp teeth draw a row of triangles, don’t they? That’s because the shape represents fear, distrust and doubt in some way. If you look at the bad guys in cartoons, you’ll find they’re all drawn with plenty of points and triangles. And triangles are stable and don’t easily fall down. In films, this feature makes bad people difficult to deal with. Not only in cartoons, but also in other kinds of films, different shapes are used for the same purpose. So, next time you see a film, try to find the hidden shapes and you will know what the characters are like. 114．How does the writer start the passage? A．By telling a story. B．By asking questions. C．By listing numbers. D．By giving an example. 115．Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage? A．Cartoon characters in round shapes can be friendly and happy. B．Cartoon characters with a square face can be lovely and full of energy. C．Cartoon characters drawn with triangles can be good and brave. D．Cartoon characters in triangles can be easy to get along with. 116．What does the underlined word “stable” mean in Paragraph 4? A．完整的 B．稳固的 C．常见的 D．规则的 117．Which of the following is the structure of the passage? (①= Paragraph 1...) A． B． C． D． 【答案】114．B 115．A 116．B 117．A 【导语】本文通过提问引入话题，探讨了圆形、方形和三角形在电影中象征的不同角色特征，并举例说明形状如何反映人物性格，最后鼓励读者观影时观察隐藏的形状线索。 114．细节理解题。 根据第1段开头“Have you seen circles, squares and triangles… Have you thought about their meanings…”可知，作者通过提问引入话题。故选B。 115．细节理解题。 根据第2段“because circles represent goodness, happiness and friendliness”可知，圆形角色通常友好快乐。故选A。 116．词句猜测题。 根据第4段“triangles are stable and don’t easily fall down”及后文“makes bad people difficult to deal with”可推断，三角形具有稳固性，不容易倒，所以stable表示“稳固的”。故选B。 117．篇章结构题。 分析全文可知，本文第①段引入形状象征意义，②③④段分别解析圆形、方形、三角形的特征及示例，第⑤总结并建议观影时观察形状。选项A的“总-分-总”结构（①→②③④→⑤）符合。故选A。 （2025·江苏苏州·中考真题） A medical breakthrough in China is giving new hope to people with spinal cord injuries (脊髓损伤). Scientists have created a brain-spinal chip (芯片) that allows paralyzed (瘫痪的) patients to move their legs, and even walk again. The chip, only 1mm wide, is designed to be fitted into the brain and spinal cord. If the natural communication between the brain and muscles (肌肉) is lost, this chip becomes the bridge. When the chips work, they create a direct connection between the brain and muscles. The results have been amazing. A 34-year-old man, paralyzed after a fall, could move his legs just one day after the operation on January 8, 2025. Two weeks later, he walked five meters with help. Three other patients had similar operations in February and March, all getting better within weeks. Even though the patients’ nervous systems were damaged (受损), the chips helped them walk again. This marks a big step in China’s progress in medical science and it brings hope for over 3.7 million people in China. “This is just the beginning,” Jia, the lead researcher, says. “With the technology, these people may one day leave wheelchairs behind after 3 to 5 years of training.” Behind this achievement is a long journey of careful research and bold thinking. It took the researchers over 10 years to develop the chip. They tested it on animals first, and then on people. They faced many challenges, yet they never gave up. Step by step, they developed a system to reconnect the mind and body in ways once appearing only in science fiction. As the chip continues to improve, it lights a new path forward—one built on science, shaped by care, and aimed toward a brighter future. 118．What do we know about the chips mentioned in the passage? A．They are only as wide as 2 mm. B．They are fitted into the man’s arms. C．They help the patients walk again. D．They improve the patients’ memory. 119．Which of the following meanings is suitable for the underlined word “bold”? bold /bəʊld/ adj. 1. PERSON/ACTION not afraid of taking risks and making difficult decisions: He had the ability to take bold imaginative decisions. 2. COLOURS/SHAPES very strong or bright so that you notice them: Stripes are bold, bright, and fun to wear. 3. LINES/WRITING written or drawn in a very clear way: The print should be bold and easy to read. 4. PRINTED LETTERS printed in letters that are darker and thicker than ordinary printed letters: All the headings are in bold type. (From the dictionary) A．1. B．2. C．3. D．4. 120．What is the writer’s main reason for writing this passage? A．To recommend a science story. B．To report a pioneer doctor in medicine. C．To compare different treatments. D．To introduce a new medical success. 121．What would be the best title of this passage?

They believe that bees can fly as far as 10 kilometers if necessary, though most of the time, bees don’t go that far. To find out the answer, some scientists used small codes called “AprilTags” to track bees. These codes are similar to QR codes (二维码). They are easy for cameras to follow, even without enough light, and they don’t hurt the bees. The scientists put the sensors (传感器) on 600 young bees every two weeks. Over the spring and summer, they followed more than 32,000 bees in six hives (蜂房). By putting a camera and a small computer on each hive, the scientists could tell when the bees with sensors left and returned. The scientists found that most bee trips outside the hive took just one to four minutes—probably for quick jobs like checking the weather. Longer trips were usually under 20 minutes. But about one third of the bees took trips over two hours. This might mean the bees were making longer trips to collect food. The scientists also found that it took the bees more time to collect food when there were not enough flowers around. Bees use special “dances” to communicate with each other about where to collect food. Now the scientists want to know the relationship between their new tracking information and these special “dances”. They plan to teach beekeepers and other scientists how to use this new tracking way. 122．How far can bees fly if necessary? A．5 kilometers. B．10 kilometers. C．15 kilometers. D．20 kilometers. 123．What does the underlined word “track” probably mean in Chinese? A．追踪 B．喂养 C．保护 D．增加 124．What can we learn from the passage? A．These codes are dangerous to the bees. B．Scientists studied the bees very carefully. C．All the bees took trips longer than two hours. D．Beekeepers have used this new tracking way. 125．Who might find this passage most helpful? A．Students good at math. B．Students interested in the Internet. C．Students good at dancing. D．Students interested in natural science. 【答案】122．B 123．A 124．B 125．D 【导语】本文讲述了科学家通过一种名为“AprilTags”的小型代码来追踪蜜蜂的行为，以了解蜜蜂飞行的距离和采集食物的行为。 122．细节理解题。根据“They believe that bees can fly as far as 10 kilometers if necessary”可知如果需要，蜜蜂可以飞行10公里。故选B。 123．词义猜测题。根据“some scientists used small codes called ‘AprilTags’ to track bees. These codes are similar to QR codes (二维码). They are easy for cameras to follow, even without enough light, and they don’t hurt the bees.”可知这些代码类似于二维码，即使没有足够的光线，它们也很容易被相机追踪，而且不会伤害蜜蜂，故此处划线部分意为“追踪”。故选A。 124．推理判断题。根据“The scientists put the sensors (传感器) on 600 young bees every two weeks. Over the spring and summer, they followed more than 32,000 bees in six hives”可知科学家们每两周将传感器放在600只幼蜂身上。在春季和夏季，他们跟踪了六个蜂房中的32000多只蜜蜂，这说明科学家研究得很仔细。故选B。 125．推理判断题。本文主要讲述科学家通过新技术研究蜜蜂的行为，所以对自然科学感兴趣的学生会认为这篇文章有帮助。故选D。 （2025·四川德阳·中考真题） Weiqi, also known as Go in English, is a black and white board game from ancient China. The game is considered one of the Four Arts for ancient Chinese literators (文人) to master. Besides Weiqi, they had to learn Chinese calligraphy (shu), painting (hua) and guqin playing (qin). Weiqi has a history of over 4,000 years, even older than Chinese chess. According to some historical records, Weiqi was known as Yi in its early years. It is said to have been invented by Emperor Yao. Seeing that his son got angry easily and didn’t like to study, the emperor was quite worried. So he decided to find something to educate his son, and a board game came to him. The rules of Weiqi are simple: using black and white stones, two players take turns putting their stones on empty cross points of the board. The aim is to surround (包围) a larger total area on the board while stopping one’s own stones from being taken by the other side. Stones do not move and are only taken off the board if they are completely surrounded. The scene of two people playing Weiqi appears in many traditional Chinese paintings. The image (形象) of a player holding a stone over the board, looking for a place to put it, was later turned into a famous Chinese idiom (成语), which means “unsure about making a move”. The idiom is still widely used today. With its development, Weiqi grew more popular. Later, it spread to other Asian countries and Western countries. Today, it has become an international board game. 126．What are the Four Arts mentioned in the passage? ①Weiqi.    ②Painting.    ③Calligraphy.    ④Guqin playing.    ⑤Dancing.

The routes offer these seafaring travellers the right conditions, at the right time of year, to guide them through the oceans. We humans try to discover the routes and have drawn our own lines, but they are not clear to us because of unexpected changes in nature. To find out the routes that migratory marine species regularly take, a research team of scientists in Australia and the US have now created an interactive map that shows the paths connecting ocean habitats (栖息地). The new map, named the Migratory Connectivity in the Ocean (MiCO), collects data and makes it easier for scientists to see where migratory marine species may be falling into the paths. The database (数据库) includes information on 109 species, based on around 30 years of data, and shows where they are going to and from—including which species cross into whose national waters. “MiCO connects almost 2, 000 important habitats and shows the importance of cross-boundary teamwork,” says the research team. They find that all of the species recorded in MiCO have less protection at some point in their life history because of different situations in different countries. That means no country is able to fully protect migratory species if there is no help from others. “For example, green turtles nest in Costa Rica and migrate north through Nicaragua and out to islands in the Caribbean,” the team says. “Although largely protected in Costa Rica, it is allowed to fish for turtles in Nicaragua and huge numbers are lost off the coast there every year.” MiCO works to provide useful knowledge on migratory connectivity to help protect marine species. In 2023, a UN report found climate (气候) changes are having bad influence on migratory species. MiCO catches the information from different time periods and the team hopes it may be used to tell those changes in connectivity. MiCO is also expected to collect information on more migratory marine species because there is less than one-third of data collected now. “So far, the migratory information revealed within the MiCO system only touches the surface of the true connectivity of the global oceans,” the team says. 137．How does the writer lead in the topic? A．By offering advice. B．By presenting study results. C．By expressing opinions. D．By giving background information. 138．What is MiCO? A．A map that humans draw to look for marine species. B．A route which guides marine species through the oceans. C．A database that shows the lines marine species migrate along. D．A system which scientists use for researches on temperature changes. 139．Why does the writer take the example of green turtles? A．To prove the harm in fishing for migratory species. B．To show the importance of cross-country teamwork. C．To share the methods of marine species protection. D．To explain the reason for marine species to migrate. 140．Which of the following can be the data MiCO collects? A．Over 10 laws are made on marine species protection. B．There are mainly 3 elephant species living on the earth. C．Leatherback turtles travel about 20,000 km from Indonesia to Oregon. D．Thousands of people visit the whale shark habitat in South Africa every year. 【答案】137．D 138．C 139．B 140．C 【导语】本文主要介绍了一个名为MiCO的交互式地图系统，该系统用于追踪海洋物种的迁徙路线，并强调跨国合作对保护迁徙物种的重要性。 137．推理判断题。根据“Many marine species (海洋物种) depend on specific routes to migrate (迁徙).

Isn’t it a real fish?” The bionic (仿生) fish, named “Jinlin”, was swimming lively like a real one. It was developed by researchers at Shanghai Ocean University. This invention isn’t just for fun—it shows how humans copy nature to solve problems. That is a science called bionics. Over millions of years, animals and plants have developed smart ways to survive. For example, kingfishers are experts at moving fast between air and water with very little noise. Through their study, scientists discovered that the birds’ long beaks (喙) enabled this ability. Then they used the knowledge to change the front of the high-speed train. This change cut down noise level, increased speed by 10% and greatly saved energy. This combination (结合) of biology and engineering is the key to success in bionics. And it has set the stage for the rise of other new technologies. Driven by robotics and AI, bionics has grown rapidly. The AI-powered bionic fish “Jinlin” can be used for environmental protection and deep sea exploration. In medicine, bionic arms can work similarly to real arms. Sensors allow the user to “feel” touch and pressure. Motors help the bionic arms make movements, like human muscles (肌肉). With AI, the bionic arms are able to “learn” new tasks and become smarter over time. These inventions are examples to show how bionics bridges biology and new technologies to solve humans’ problems. Although so much progress has been made, bionics faces challenges. Nature’s designs are hard to copy perfectly. As for bionic arms, one key area of development is Brain-Computer Interface (脑机接口).

Among them, black tea and white tea from Fujian, green tea from Zhejiang and Anhui, and dark tea from Yunnan are some of the favorites. In the Song Dynasty (960—1279), tea culture reached new heights. The beauty of the Song tea came alive through “dian cha”. Powdered (粉状的) tea was whisked (搅打) with water into soft “clouds”. White tea was often used to make the “clouds” as white as the moonlight. Tea artists used clean water to draw pictures on them with a teaspoon. The way of serving dian cha became a living art. It later influenced Japanese tea culture. Today, more young people are learning and passing it on. Yunnan’s dark tea, especially Pu’er, got famous because of the Ancient Tea Horse Road. And it won popularity around the world. In 1976, Frenchman Fred Kempler found a new kind of Pu’er from Yunnan in a Hong Kong shop. In the same year, he visited Yunnan, bought nearly two tons, and began to sell “Yunnan Tuocha” in Europe. Since 1986, Yunnan’s Pu’er tuocha has got many prizes at food expos (博览会) in France, America and other countries. Today you can see an old Australian lady holding a cup of tea of sun-dried Pu’er, though she still enjoys her English-style black tea with milk and sugar. Tea is a bridge of friendship among nations and peoples. Tea is enjoyed timelessly from ancient to modern times. Each cup of dian cha, white as the moonlight, turned tea into art, and art into eternity (永恒). Tea is also loved globally from the east to the west. Each cup of Pu’er, with the smell of sunshine, turns tea into friendship, and friendship into a shared future. 21．What kind of tea was often used for dian cha according to the passage? A．Black tea. B．Green tea. C．Dark tea. D．White tea. 22．When did Fred Kempler begin to sell “Yunnan Tuocha” in Europe? A．In 1986. B．In 1976. C．In 1279.

Corals usually provide nitrogen (氮) to algae, and in return they get carbon (碳), which gives them energy. In the early 1980s, a huge heat wave turned more than 90 percent of these corals a pale, lifeless white. And it was believed that about 50 percent of reefs with beautiful corals might disappear by 2030. Heat waves warmed up the same Pacific waters in the late 1990s and again in 2015—2016, but scientists noticed that these heat waves didn’t influence the reefs as badly as the first. Maybe corals have found a way to adapt (适应). Swimming to cooler waters is not a good choice for corals, for it makes them easily hurt by the changing climate. But corals are able to adapt. Some turn to those algae that can deal well with heat. Others can use rows of tiny hairs on their bodies to “fan” away too much harmful oxygen  (O2) let out by stressed-out algae. Certain baby corals change their own metabolisms (新陈代谢) in order to fight the warming waters. But all these adaptations can protect themselves only to some degree. After studying and understanding these adaptations, scientists are trying to find ways to help corals fight. If researchers can make corals accept algae that can deal with heat pressure or if they energize genes (基因) that can deal with heat pressure, it will raise the corals’ chance of living through future ocean heat waves. “When I go down to the sea and see a beautiful healthy reef with these colorful corals, I feel this pleasure of being in this underwater world,” a famous biologist says. “It will be really sad to see it dead. But that does drive you to want to use your skills and your love to help fight.” 30．What can we know from paragraph 1? A．Corals make algae more colorful. B．Algae provide room for corals to live in. C．Corals and algae depend on each other. D．Algae produce nitrogen to influence corals. 31．What does the underlined part “the first” in paragraph 2 refer to? A．The heat wave in the early 1980s. B．The heat wave in the late 1990s. C．The Pacific waters in 2015—2016. D．The reefs’ disappearance by 2030. 32．What difficulty do corals face? A．They cannot completely adapt to heat waves. B．They cannot change their own metabolisms. C．They have no ability to swim to cooler waters. D．They have no ability to drive away harmful oxygen. 33．What can we infer from the last paragraph? A．It’s necessary to live with corals. B．The ocean has become unhealthy. C．We should try our best to save corals. D．Making a study of the ocean is a must. 34．Which would be the best title for the text? A．Corals Die Out B．Corals Fight Back C．Corals Break Down D．Corals Come into Being （2025·江西·中考真题） You can put a stamp on it, you can write an address on it, and you can send it through the mail. 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. 35．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. 36．What does the underlined word “power” in Paragraph 2 mean? A．Make room for. B．Add value to. C．Provide energy for.

But not too many people know trees can also help us save money. Environmental scientists did some research and they learned that just one tree can save a city about 2,800 yuan over the tree’s lifetime. One way trees save money is by helping us save energy. Big trees stop the summer sun from shining directly to the buildings. Big trees block (遮挡) the winter wind. In this way, they help people to save the energy to make their homes and offices cool or warm. Saving energy means saving money! There are other ways for trees to help a city save money. For example, when it rains, a city’s sewers (下水道) fill up with water. Cities have to spend lots of money cleaning that water. But trees’ leaves and roots take in rainwater before it gets to the dirty sewers. With the help of trees, there is less water to clean and money is saved. 45．What does the passage mainly talk about? A．How to protect trees. B．How to study trees. C．How trees help cities save money. D．How trees make cities look nice. 46．The underlined word “they” refers to “_________”. A．city cleaners B．environmental scientists C．big trees D．tall buildings 47．To better support the topic sentence of Paragraph 3, the writer _________.

We will lose more of the natural world if we don’t try to change things. Though it is difficult, we can make a difference. Each small change is important, and luckily more individuals (个人) and organizations are working on conservation (保护) projects. Samson, an African fisherman, has become a voice for the ocean. He and the other fishermen realized they were catching fewer and fewer fish. They were overfishing. Working with the World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF), Samson learned they had to fish more carefully. He realized they shouldn’t catch so many young fish because if there are too few of them, there won’t be enough adult fish to reproduce. He believes protecting the ocean is everybody’s job. As he says, “Take your responsibilities and never think that you are alone.” In Florida, the Sea Turtle Conservancy (STC) noticed there were always plenty of single-use plastic items, like bottles and drinking straws (吸管), on the beaches. These items can hurt the ocean wildlife terribly. Straws are especially dangerous for turtles because they can get stuck in turtles’ noses and hurt them badly. So, the STC started the project “Where are the straws?” asking local restaurants to stop giving customers straws with their drinks. Now, restaurants will only give straws if customers ask for them, and they only give out paper straws. Those are just two examples of the many conservation efforts around the world today. They both show us that change is possible and that it can start with small actions. We are part of the problem. It’s time to be part of the solution. 48．What does the underlined word “them” in paragraph 2 refer to? A．Young fish. B．Oceans. C．Fishermen. 49．What would happen through STC’s efforts? A．More and more tourists would relax on the beaches. B．There would be fewer plastic straws on the beaches C．Customers would buy more drinks from restaurants. 50．What is the structure of the text?（P= paragraph） A． B． C． 51．Which can be the best title for the text? A．Playing a role in stopping plastic straws B．Becoming a voice for saving young fish C．Making a difference to the natural world （2025·贵州·中考真题） Chile is a long and beautiful country with the ocean to the west and mountains to the east. Some of the villages are a very long way from the cities, and some of the schools are very small. It’s difficult for small schools to teach science because they don’t have enough teachers or equipment (设备). This is where the Science Bus project can help. The bus brings special science teachers, new ideas, and equipment to schools in different parts of the country. Sometimes, the children go inside the bus for their science classes or clubs. Sometimes, the teachers bring the equipment inside the school building. The children do experiments. The materials used in the experiments are easy to find-for example, recycled plastic bottles—so that the class teacher can repeal the experiments with the class after the bus leaves. The goal of the Science Bus is to bring science to children all over Chile. Since 2012, the bus has visited many schools in Chile, and hundreds of teachers have learned how to make their science classes fun and exciting. In other parts of the world, children can take part in events called Bioblitzes. During a Bioblitz, scientists, families, students, teachers, and other people work together to collect as many different kinds of plants and animals as possible in a certain place, such as a park or a forest. Bioblitzes are a fun way to help scientists and to discover more about the plants and animals around us. Science is important for all of us because it helps us understand our world. We can learn about science inside or outside of the classroom. 52．Why do Chile’s small schools need the Science Bus? A．They don’t have enough school buildings or clubs. B．They are short of science teachers and equipment. C．They need special materials to repeat experiments. 53．What do people do during a Bioblitz? A．Recycle plastic bottles. B．Visit different schools. C．Collect plants and animals. 54．What do the Science Bus and Bioblitzes have in common? A．They make science learning interesting. B．They are popular with children in Chile. C．They choose science courses for schools. 55．What is the writer’s purpose in writing the text? A．To encourage us to learn science. B．To advise us to get close to nature. C．To introduce Chile’s schools to us. （2025·广东·中考真题） Everyone knows that forests help fight climate change. However, a recent scientific report shows that the world lost 300,000 square kilometers of forests in 2024. That’s an area about the size of Italy. According to the report, for the first time ever, fires were the biggest cause of forest loss. ▲ . This country has the largest area of rainforest in the world. Last year, it suffered from a long period of dry weather. Wildfires broke out and spread. As a result, about 25,000 square kilometers of the primary rainforest disappeared in the country. This meant fires caused 66% of its forest loss. The second biggest cause of the world’s forest loss was clearing land for farming. As people need more farmland, they keep cutting down forests every year. In 2024, the area of forest cleared for farming increased by 14% worldwide. The situation was more severe in developing countries. For example, Bolivia’s forest loss doubled in 2024. Without doubt, something must be done. Experts call on governments, businesses and people to work together before it is too late. It seems that China has set a good example. Thanks to cooperation at many levels, China had the biggest increase in forest area among all countries in 2024. That year alone, newly-planted trees in China covered an area of nearly 45,000 square kilometers, according to a news report. If more countries start to take action like China, the earth will become a greener planet. 56．The size of Italy is mentioned in Paragraph 1 to show _______. A．why we need forests.

A．Rainforest Became Larger B．Farmland Area Grew Rapidly C．Forest Fires Caused Pollution D．Forest Loss Worried the World （2025·河南·中考真题） Sunshine does make people happier. Imagine how cheerful you are when it clears up after long cold rainy days. Let’s discover science behind sunlight. Sunlight causes you to produce a chemical (化学物质) called serotonin (血清素). When you are exposed to sunlight, your body will make more serotonin. Higher levels of serotonin will keep you in good spirits. At night, when there is little or no light, your body produces another chemical-melatonin (褪黑激素). It helps your body relax and will make you feel tired, which can prepare you for a good night’s sleep. You should keep a good balance between these two chemicals. However, for many people, it is hard to balance sunlight with darkness. People who stay indoors a lot may not get enough sunlight. The light in a house is usually about 100 times less than that outside on a sunny day. That’s why it is believed that those people should get outside in the sunshine. They can get some exercise, enjoy the fresh air and be happy, all at the same time. There are places where it gets dark for a long time in the winter. People in those places are easier to get seasonal affective disorder (SAD). People with SAD usually go through bad experiences such as low energy and sadness. The most common treatment for those people is to sit under bright artificial (人工的) lights for some time. The roles that sunshine plays in people’s life are more than those above. For example, your body produces Vitamin D (维生素D) from sunlight, which is important for being healthy. In fact, there is more science about sunlight for you to discover. So next time, when you notice the sunshine on your shoulder, take a moment to think, “Why do we love sunshine?” 根据材料内容选择最佳答案。 61．Which of the following can take the place of “are exposed to” in the text? A．stay in B．care about C．dream of D．depend on 62．What does Paragraph 2 mainly talk about? A．What can help people to keep in good spirits B．How light influences people through chemicals.

A．There are places where it gets dark for a long time in the winter. B．People who stay indoors a lot should get outside in the sunshine. C．The light in a house is usually less than that outside on a sunny day. D．People’s bodies produce something called Vitamin D from sunlight. 64．Jack is a person with SAD．How could he solve his problem according to the text? A．By staying indoors a lot. B．By taking in more fresh air. C．By doing some exercise. D．By using man-made lights. 65．Why is the sentence “Why do we love sunshine?” written in the last paragraph?

People believed that silk was first invented by Leizu, the wife of the Yellow Emperor. Leizu learned how to make cocoons (蚕茧) into soft and strong cloth. This magical cloth became known as “silk”, and it was so valuable that it was called “China’s Gold”. Following kings’ orders, the Chinese kept the secret of making silk for centuries. But then, something amazing happened! During the Han Dynasty, the brave officer Zhang Qian traveled west as far as Central Asia and brought silk there. As years passed by, silk became so important that the trade road from Europe to China got its name—the Silk Road. The Silk Road became a busy highway for traders who carried things across deserts and mountains. From China, people sold silk and tea. In return, they received treasures such as spices (香料), gold and silver from the West. At the very beginning, it was mainly about trade; then people began to share ideas, technologies and cultures. For example, Chinese inventions like papermaking were spread to the West, while new ideas about math and science came to China. Most importantly, the Silk Road helped different cultures learn from each other. Art, music and even language were shared along this ancient road. In places like the Dunhuang Grottoes (敦煌石窟) in China, you can see how art pieces combined (融合) Eastern and Western styles into something distinctive. It can not be seen anywhere else. The story of the Silk Road tells us how people from faraway lands could become friends through trade and shared ideas. Today, we remember the Silk Road as one of the greatest examples of cooperation and exchange in history. It shows us how important it is to learn about and respect each other’s traditions, and that different cultures can work together to create amazing things. 91．Who invented silk in ancient China?

He likes sounds and uses natural sounds as part of his music. He often went out to the wild with his microphone and recorded interesting sounds to put in movies or to use in his own songs. Instead of trying to capture just the sound of one animal or bird, he recorded the sound of everything all together—the animals, the trees, the wind and the earth. He called these recordings “soundscapes”—the sound of a certain place. Every soundscape Peter recorded had a lot of information. Back in his workshop, Peter used a computer to make a picture of all the sounds going on in a place. Each animal, bird and insect had its own place on the picture—its own notes in the music. The busier the picture, the richer the life in that place. “While a picture may be worth 1,000 words, a soundscape is worth 1,000 pictures,” Peter said. “Our ears tell us the sound of every leaf and animal and speak to the natural sources (来源) of our lives, which may hold the secrets of love for all things, especially our own humanity.” But not everything is satisfying. When Peter began recording over forty years ago, he could record for ten hours and get one hour of usable material good enough for a movie. Now, because of human activities, it can take up to 1,000 hours or more to get the same thing. Some of the places he has recorded over the years have slowly fallen silent. His sound pictures show that although nature might look the same to humans, it has lost part of its orchestra (管弦乐队). So next time you are in the forests, try another way to look—shut your eyes, and listen. 96．Why did Peter record natural sounds? A．To write songs for a music group. B．To discover rich lives in the forest. C．To use some of them in his music. D．To make music about birds singing. 97．What does the underlined word “capture” in paragraph 2 mean? A．Shut. B．Catch. C．Touch. D．Check. 98．What is a sound picture in the text? A．The sound of every leaf and animal in nature. B．The sound recorded in the natural environment. C．A picture of music with sounds of 1,000 animals. D．A picture of music with natural sounds in a place. 99．What can we learn from paragraph 4? A．Recording sounds needs less material. B．Sound pictures are the same as before. C．Some beautiful sounds in nature are lost. D．Human activities improve recording results. 100．What does the writer mainly want to tell us? A．Nature is the source of our future. B．Nature has wonders to be heard. C．Making music enriches our lives. D．Making music needs information. （2025·福建·中考真题） The earth is our home.

Actually, in China, trains have turned into centres which bring together the public and the nation’s intangible cultural Heritage (ICH，非物质文化遗产). Trains go across China and they are becoming ideal places for introducing local traditional culture. A good example is the K7041 train from Harbin to Mohe in Northeast China’s Heilongjiang Province. On the ICH train, Gulayier, dressed in traditional clothes, sang Oroqen folk songs and his partner played the Oroqen jaw harp, a musical instrument. Tourists on the train, especially those from southern China, sang and danced excitedly with the two performers (表演者) together. Gulayier said the train made it easier to hold tourists’ attention to his shows. He thought the train was a good platform for promoting (促进) ICH. Traditional heritage comes to life on trains. More ICH such as Qinhuai lanterns from Nanjing, Yulin puppet shows, and tea-picking operas in Guangxi have also made appearances on high-speed trains across China. It offers passengers a close-up way to experience traditional culture. Professor Xiao Fang from Beijing Normal University shares Gulayier’s opinion on the new use of ICH trains. He has pointed out another advantage of this. Beyond cultural promotion, it offers help for tourism. When passengers enjoy local traditions on board, they often develop a deeper interest in exploring the places they pass through. However, the ICH train journeys still have challenges, including the narrow space on trains and passengers getting on and off at each station. Therefore, some solutions are coming up cultural corners show traditional arts, and QR codes connect to more digital information. These help passengers to explore ICH at their own pace and continue learning after their journey ends. The success of ICH trains offers valuable lessons for cultural protection worldwide, proving that innovation (革新) and tradition can work together to keep cultural heritage alive for future generations. 106．What is the fresh experience for passengers on the K7041 train? A．Travelling farther north. B．Joining in live shows. C．Wearing traditional clothes. D．Having fun on the phone. 107．What do Gulayier and Professor Xiao both agree? A．ICH encourages more local visits. B．Trains help make ICH more popular. C．ICH improves the Chinese train journeys. D．Passengers welcome performers on ICH trains. 108．What does paragraph 5 mention about the ICH train journeys? A．Their features and influence. B．Their reasons and results. C．Their problems and methods. D．Their future and improvement. 109．What can be the best title for the passage? A．Trains push China’s cultural heritage further. B．China puts arms around local artists on ICH trains. C．More ICH trains begin running on railways in China. D．Train passengers share different local cultures of China. （2025·四川眉山·中考真题） There is no doubt that the world will be a very different place in 2045. So what’s going to happen then? It’s pretty likely that robots and AI technology will change a lot of industries. Also, self-driving and flying cars will come into our daily life, bringing us much convenience. However, scientists have even bigger ideas. In a video series called Forward to the Future, three researchers predicted what they imagined would be reality in 2045. Dr. Justin Sanchez believes we’ll be at a point where we can control things simply by using our mind. “Imagine a world where you could just use your thoughts to control your environment,” Justin said. According to him, experts are working on certain technologies that can make this happen. They’ve made some progress already. The future has more than just that. Many other exciting things could change the building and other objects around us, says Stefanie Tompkins. “We’ll be able to build things that are very strong but also lightweight (轻量型的). We don’t even know the materials around us,” she predicted. Pam Melroy believes we’re going to find that we have a very different relationship with the machines around us. “I think we’ll begin to see a time when we’re able to control a machine just by pressing a button (按钮) or only saying some simple words,” she said. For example, right now to land a plane safely, a pilot has to go through many steps in the right order. But in 2045, in Pam’s words, a pilot may just need to say the words “prepare for landing”. Then the computer knows the steps it needs to take. Or perhaps, with AI, a pilot won’t even be necessary. 110．What does the underlined word “this” refer to in Paragraph 3? A．Making progress in AI technology. B．Driving flying cars in our daily life. C．Controlling things by using our mind. D．Using robots in different industries. 111．Which of the following would be possible according to Stefanie? A．AI helps pilots to land planes. B．Computers operate all machines. C．Self-driving cars travel around us. D．Houses are strong but lightweight. 112．Which is the best title for the passage? A．Challenges for AI in the Future B．Experts’ Predictions of Life in 2045 C．Famous Scientists in New Technologies D．New Kinds of Building Materials 113．In which part of a newspaper can we read this passage? A．Health & Lifestyle. B．Education & Culture. C．Nature & Environment. D．Science & Technology. （2025·四川眉山·中考真题） Have you seen circles, squares and triangles (三角形) everywhere in your daily life? Have you thought about their meanings in films? Much like colors, different shapes can show different features (特征) of characters in the scenes. Circles represent (象征) things that are soft and natural. The round shape reminds us of things that appear in nature, like the sun, flowers, raindrops and so on. We can also connect circles with beautiful eyes, babies’ round faces... All these things make us feel happy and warm. This is why so many cartoon characters’ bodies—heroes, kids, good people—are round in shape, because circles represent goodness, happiness and friendliness. Squares show things that are unnatural or man-made, or things that are boring or old-fashioned. In Up, Carl, an elderly man, has a square face and wears square glasses, while Russell, an 8-year-old boy with a round face, always wears round medals. These shapes show the characters’ personalities. Carl is stubborn (执拗的) and lonely, while Russell is lovely and full of energy. The angriest shape is the triangle. Kids who draw a monster with sharp teeth draw a row of triangles, don’t they? That’s because the shape represents fear, distrust and doubt in some way. If you look at the bad guys in cartoons, you’ll find they’re all drawn with plenty of points and triangles. And triangles are stable and don’t easily fall down. In films, this feature makes bad people difficult to deal with. Not only in cartoons, but also in other kinds of films, different shapes are used for the same purpose. So, next time you see a film, try to find the hidden shapes and you will know what the characters are like. 114．How does the writer start the passage? A．By telling a story. B．By asking questions. C．By listing numbers. D．By giving an example. 115．Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage? A．Cartoon characters in round shapes can be friendly and happy. B．Cartoon characters with a square face can be lovely and full of energy. C．Cartoon characters drawn with triangles can be good and brave. D．Cartoon characters in triangles can be easy to get along with. 116．What does the underlined word “stable” mean in Paragraph 4? A．完整的 B．稳固的 C．常见的 D．规则的 117．Which of the following is the structure of the passage? (①= Paragraph 1...) A． B． C． D． （2025·江苏苏州·中考真题） A medical breakthrough in China is giving new hope to people with spinal cord injuries (脊髓损伤). Scientists have created a brain-spinal chip (芯片) that allows paralyzed (瘫痪的) patients to move their legs, and even walk again. The chip, only 1mm wide, is designed to be fitted into the brain and spinal cord. If the natural communication between the brain and muscles (肌肉) is lost, this chip becomes the bridge. When the chips work, they create a direct connection between the brain and muscles. The results have been amazing. A 34-year-old man, paralyzed after a fall, could move his legs just one day after the operation on January 8, 2025. Two weeks later, he walked five meters with help. Three other patients had similar operations in February and March, all getting better within weeks. Even though the patients’ nervous systems were damaged (受损), the chips helped them walk again. This marks a big step in China’s progress in medical science and it brings hope for over 3.7 million people in China. “This is just the beginning,” Jia, the lead researcher, says. “With the technology, these people may one day leave wheelchairs behind after 3 to 5 years of training.” Behind this achievement is a long journey of careful research and bold thinking. It took the researchers over 10 years to develop the chip. They tested it on animals first, and then on people. They faced many challenges, yet they never gave up. Step by step, they developed a system to reconnect the mind and body in ways once appearing only in science fiction. As the chip continues to improve, it lights a new path forward—one built on science, shaped by care, and aimed toward a brighter future. 118．What do we know about the chips mentioned in the passage? A．They are only as wide as 2 mm. B．They are fitted into the man’s arms. C．They help the patients walk again. D．They improve the patients’ memory. 119．Which of the following meanings is suitable for the underlined word “bold”? bold /bəʊld/ adj. 1. PERSON/ACTION not afraid of taking risks and making difficult decisions: He had the ability to take bold imaginative decisions. 2. COLOURS/SHAPES very strong or bright so that you notice them: Stripes are bold, bright, and fun to wear. 3. LINES/WRITING written or drawn in a very clear way: The print should be bold and easy to read. 4. PRINTED LETTERS printed in letters that are darker and thicker than ordinary printed letters: All the headings are in bold type. (From the dictionary) A．1. B．2. C．3. D．4. 120．What is the writer’s main reason for writing this passage? A．To recommend a science story. B．To report a pioneer doctor in medicine. C．To compare different treatments.

A．China’s Chips Bring New Hope B．Future of China’s Medical Science C．Science Fiction Changes Our Lives D．Challenges for Chinese Scientists （2025·四川德阳·中考真题） Scientists have long questioned how far bees travel to collect food. They believe that bees can fly as far as 10 kilometers if necessary, though most of the time, bees don’t go that far. To find out the answer, some scientists used small codes called “AprilTags” to track bees. These codes are similar to QR codes (二维码). They are easy for cameras to follow, even without enough light, and they don’t hurt the bees. The scientists put the sensors (传感器) on 600 young bees every two weeks. Over the spring and summer, they followed more than 32,000 bees in six hives (蜂房). By putting a camera and a small computer on each hive, the scientists could tell when the bees with sensors left and returned. The scientists found that most bee trips outside the hive took just one to four minutes—probably for quick jobs like checking the weather. Longer trips were usually under 20 minutes. But about one third of the bees took trips over two hours. This might mean the bees were making longer trips to collect food. The scientists also found that it took the bees more time to collect food when there were not enough flowers around. Bees use special “dances” to communicate with each other about where to collect food. Now the scientists want to know the relationship between their new tracking information and these special “dances”. They plan to teach beekeepers and other scientists how to use this new tracking way. 122．How far can bees fly if necessary? A．5 kilometers. B．10 kilometers. C．15 kilometers. D．20 kilometers. 123．What does the underlined word “track” probably mean in Chinese? A．追踪 B．喂养 C．保护 D．增加 124．What can we learn from the passage? A．These codes are dangerous to the bees. B．Scientists studied the bees very carefully. C．All the bees took trips longer than two hours. D．Beekeepers have used this new tracking way. 125．Who might find this passage most helpful? A．Students good at math. B．Students interested in the Internet. C．Students good at dancing. D．Students interested in natural science. （2025·四川德阳·中考真题） Weiqi, also known as Go in English, is a black and white board game from ancient China. The game is considered one of the Four Arts for ancient Chinese literators (文人) to master. Besides Weiqi, they had to learn Chinese calligraphy (shu), painting (hua) and guqin playing (qin). Weiqi has a history of over 4,000 years, even older than Chinese chess. According to some historical records, Weiqi was known as Yi in its early years. It is said to have been invented by Emperor Yao. Seeing that his son got angry easily and didn’t like to study, the emperor was quite worried. So he decided to find something to educate his son, and a board game came to him. The rules of Weiqi are simple: using black and white stones, two players take turns putting their stones on empty cross points of the board. The aim is to surround (包围) a larger total area on the board while stopping one’s own stones from being taken by the other side. Stones do not move and are only taken off the board if they are completely surrounded. The scene of two people playing Weiqi appears in many traditional Chinese paintings. The image (形象) of a player holding a stone over the board, looking for a place to put it, was later turned into a famous Chinese idiom (成语), which means “unsure about making a move”. The idiom is still widely used today. With its development, Weiqi grew more popular. Later, it spread to other Asian countries and Western countries. Today, it has become an international board game. 126．What are the Four Arts mentioned in the passage? ①Weiqi.    ②Painting.    ③Calligraphy.    ④Guqin playing.    ⑤Dancing. A．①②③④ B．①②③⑤ C．①②④⑤ D．①③④⑤ 127．Why did Emperor Yao invent Weiqi according to paragraph 2? A．To have some fun. B．To teach himself. C．To educate his son. D．To help his people. 128．In which part of a newspaper can you probably read this passage? A．Music. B．News. C．Movies. D．Culture. 129．What is the best title for the passage? A．History of Chinese Chess B．Game of Black and White C．Beauty of Four Arts in China D．Development of Chinese Idioms （2025·江苏苏州·中考真题） Want to know what your friends are really like? Take a look at their music playlist. More than 36,000 people, from all over the world, took part in an experiment (实验). It compared their personalities with how much they liked different musical styles. The results show that personalities do influence what we listen to. Here’s what certain musical styles say about who you are. Rock Like the sound of loud guitars and heavy drum beats? This type of music sounds very exciting, but fans of it are often quite gentle. Country music If cowboy hats and guitars get you singing along, it’s possible that you’re hard-working, preferring traditional styles and values. Jazz Fans of this strong music always come up with new ideas and are good at learning. If you like the saxophone of John Coltrane, then you’re probably self-confident and easy to get on with. Classical music If Beethoven and Mozart have you turning up the music, you’re probably quiet, but happy with who you are and comfortable with the world around you. But the experiment didn’t tell the whole story: where we grow up, who we often go out with, and our personal experiences play into our taste, too. The songs you choose to be part of your life make you different from others. But no matter what style you like, music is for everyone. And enjoying different types of music lets you get a taste of cultures you might not have experienced before. So experiment with your playlist! 130．What influences our musical taste according to the experiment? A．Personalities. B．Friends. C．Parents. D．Instruments. 131．According to the passage, if Daniel is creative, what may be found in his playlist? A．Rock. B．Country music. C．Jazz. D．Classical music. 132．What may be the writer’s advice for us? A．Changing our personalities. B．Trying different types of music. C．Doing experiments with friends. D．Getting more learning experiences. 133．What is the main idea of the passage? A．How different cultures influence you. B．What your playlist says about you. C．What songs we can choose to enjoy. D．Why there are different musical styles. （2025·江苏扬州·中考真题） Alex and his classmates are working on a project about the Great Lakes. Here is the information sheet they have made.

The routes offer these seafaring travellers the right conditions, at the right time of year, to guide them through the oceans. We humans try to discover the routes and have drawn our own lines, but they are not clear to us because of unexpected changes in nature. To find out the routes that migratory marine species regularly take, a research team of scientists in Australia and the US have now created an interactive map that shows the paths connecting ocean habitats (栖息地). The new map, named the Migratory Connectivity in the Ocean (MiCO), collects data and makes it easier for scientists to see where migratory marine species may be falling into the paths. The database (数据库) includes information on 109 species, based on around 30 years of data, and shows where they are going to and from—including which species cross into whose national waters. “MiCO connects almost 2, 000 important habitats and shows the importance of cross-boundary teamwork,” says the research team. They find that all of the species recorded in MiCO have less protection at some point in their life history because of different situations in different countries. That means no country is able to fully protect migratory species if there is no help from others. “For example, green turtles nest in Costa Rica and migrate north through Nicaragua and out to islands in the Caribbean,” the team says. “Although largely protected in Costa Rica, it is allowed to fish for turtles in Nicaragua and huge numbers are lost off the coast there every year.” MiCO works to provide useful knowledge on migratory connectivity to help protect marine species. In 2023, a UN report found climate (气候) changes are having bad influence on migratory species. MiCO catches the information from different time periods and the team hopes it may be used to tell those changes in connectivity. MiCO is also expected to collect information on more migratory marine species because there is less than one-third of data collected now. “So far, the migratory information revealed within the MiCO system only touches the surface of the true connectivity of the global oceans,” the team says. 137．How does the writer lead in the topic? A．By offering advice. B．By presenting study results. C．By expressing opinions. D．By giving background information. 138．What is MiCO? A．A map that humans draw to look for marine species. B．A route which guides marine species through the oceans. C．A database that shows the lines marine species migrate along. D．A system which scientists use for researches on temperature changes. 139．Why does the writer take the example of green turtles? A．To prove the harm in fishing for migratory species. B．To show the importance of cross-country teamwork. C．To share the methods of marine species protection. D．To explain the reason for marine species to migrate. 140．Which of the following can be the data MiCO collects? A．Over 10 laws are made on marine species protection. B．There are mainly 3 elephant species living on the earth. C．Leatherback turtles travel about 20,000 km from Indonesia to Oregon. D．Thousands of people visit the whale shark habitat in South Africa every year. （2025·甘肃白银·中考真题） Learning about AI ▲ AI works by using algorithms (算法), or step-by-step instructions, to help computers understand and work with information. For example, if you wanted to teach a computer to know different types of fruits, you would give it a lot of pictures of fruits and tell it which ones are apples, bananas, and so on. The computer would then use this information to find out what new fruits are. This process is called “machine learning”.What can AI be used for? AI is already being used in many different areas. For example, AI can be used to:● diagnose and treat diseases; ● drive self-driving cars; ● recommend movies and TV shows according to your viewing history; ● help teachers give marks to papers. The Future of AI In the future, AI may completely change many parts of our lives and help us solve some of the world’s biggest problems. However, it’s also important to remember that AI is just a tool, and it’s up to us to decide how we use it.

Having a good relationship with them can help you communicate with other people, and understand other people’s feelings. You can even learn things when you don’t get on with your siblings. When you have argued (争吵) with them, you have to work out how to be in the same space as them. As a result, you often learn how to accept differences. It is very useful in the outside world. It’s completely normal (正常的) that sometimes you and your sibling won’t see eye to eye. “Have a good think about why the two of you don’t get on. Try to talk when you both cool down,” says Dr. Owen, a researcher in new children develop. “Tell them how you feel. You could say, ‘It really hurts me when you make jokes about me.’ If the trouble carries on, talk to a trusted adult (成年人).” All families are different. What if you don’t have siblings? That doesn’t mean you won’t experience the advantages people get from having a brother or sister. There are ways to help only children develop these skills too. 146．What is paragraph 1 mainly about?

She often goes on tours with Travel Eyes, a company that takes tourists traveling around the world. For each tour, half of the people can see and half can’t. A person who can see travels with a person who can’t. The world is there for sighted (有视力的) people but that can cause problems for the blind. So, sighted members might describe the size and color of a building, or the smiles of strangers passing by. They might explain the food, “Our lunch is a sandwich in the center of your plate, and chips in a bowl to the right of your plate.” Clearly, it is good for blind travelers. They are able to learn about new places and make new friends. “You don’t worry about danger any more. That’s really important,” says Jenny Tween, a blind tourist. But it is also of benefit (益处) to sighted travelers. Wendy is one of them. She says that when you describe what you see, you see things in a very different way. The tour manager Hannah Vince agrees, “Sighted people learn a lot from these trips. It’s a two-way thing.” Traveling with blind people and describing the world to them makes sighted people go more slowly and look more closely at colors, shapes, and the sizes of things. Blind people can also help sighted people find more about the smells of food or flowers, and the sounds of music or traffic. In the end, this isn’t a story about people who can see helping people who can’t. It’s about people with different abilities showing each other new ways of experiencing the world and meeting new friends. 149．What do we know about tours with Travel Eyes? A．Most of the tourists are blind people. B．They are organized by Wendy Coley. C．A blind person travels with a sighted person. D．Blind people join in the tours at half the price. 150．What does the underlined word “They” in Paragraph 1 refer to? A．Tourists. B．Strangers. C．Blind people. D．Sighted members. 151．How does Jenny Tween feel during the tours? A．Safe. B．Sleepy. C．Nervous. D．Surprised. 152．What benefit do sighted people get from the tours? A．They cook better. B．They walk faster. C．They speak louder. D．They notice more. 153．What would be the best title for the passage? A．Shared Travel. B．Help Blind People. C．Happy Holiday. D．Travel around the World. （2025·云南·中考真题） Imagine that a cool bamboo-like grass can be used to make green energy. Scientists at Landuo Biotech, a business in Wuhan, have created one such plant recently. They name it “super giant reed” (超级芦竹). Since 2012, the Landuo team have collected over 1,000 wild giant reeds for experiments. As a result, more than 40 varieties of super giant reed have been “born”. In the Landuo’s factory, hundreds of young reeds are grown in glass bottles. Fully grown, super giant reeds are cut and put in a special place without O2. The Landuo team heat them up to make natural gas, which can then be used for energy. Thanks to the scientists’ efforts, super giant reed has a biomass (生物量) three times that of wild giant reed. A kilogram of super giant reed also has 4,000 to 4,500 kilocalories (千卡) of energy. So, super giant reed is a great choice for taking the place of fossil fuels (化石燃料). What’s more, growing super giant reed helps a lot. Planting 13,000 hectares of it can produce 0.45 to 1.5 million tons of fuel a year. 40 million hectares of super giant reed can be used instead of 2.2 billion (1 billion=1,000 million) tons of coal and can cut CO2 emissions (排放) by 4 billion tons in China every year. Super giant reed is also well-suited for growing on some land like beaches, wetlands and salty lands. Once a reed is planted, it can be cut and used many times during the next 15 to 20 years. By the end of 2024, over 3,300 hectares of super giant reed had been planted across 53 areas in China. At present, China is developing this new energy source—super giant reed and we hope that it can help to make our planet cleaner and cleaner. 154．What is the right order according to paragraph 2? a. The super giant reeds are cut by the Landuo team. b. The super giant reeds are heated up to make natural gas. c. The Landuo team grow lots of young super giant reeds in glass bottles. d. The Landuo team put the super giant reeds in a special place without O2. A．a-b-c-d B．b-a-c-d C．c-b-d-a D．c-a-d-b 155．How many kilocalories of energy does a kilogram of super giant reed produce? A．1,000 to 1,500. B．2,000 to 3,500. C．4,000 to 4,500. D．5,000 to 5,500. 156．How does the writer support the main idea of paragraph 4? A．By listing numbers. B．By telling stories. C．By asking questions. D．By giving suggestions. 157．In which part of a newspaper can you probably read the text? A．People. B．Science. C．Sports. D．Travel. 158．What can be the best title for the text?

Sichuan food is well-known for two basic tastes—ma and la. Now, many Westerners fall in love with the spicy (辛辣的) dishes of Sichuan. Here are the top three of them. Ma po tofu is probably the best-known Sichuan dish in the West. It is made with tofu and beef. Many people like ma po tofu because of its special taste, ma. There is an old story about it. It is said that ma po tofu was made by an old woman who had many marks (斑点) on her face. Hot pot is also called ma la huoguo. Many Westerners think hot pot is the hottest dish. It is a social meal and everyone cooks their own food in the pot while talking. So it’s a good way to enjoy delicious food and have conversations. They also think hot pot is a sign of a brave person if a person can eat a Sichuan hot pot meal without drinking cold water. Kungpao chicken is another spicy dish. It has the other name, gong bao ji ding. It’s made with chicken and peanuts. Its name comes from Ding Baozhen, an officer of Sichuan. The dish was his favourite. One story is that he often put on poor clothes so that he could experience the real lives of common people. Once Ding Baozhen ate this dish in a small restaurant, he enjoyed it so much that he asked his cook to make the same dish. The dish got its name from this. 159．What is Sichuan food well-known for?

In recent years, China has made great progress in self-driving technology. Since August, 2022, self-driving taxis can run on the roads in Wuhan, Chongqing and Shenzhen. Why do we develop self-driving cars? Self-driving cars can bring us many advantages. First, they use computers to feel the things around them and make better use of space. This means fewer traffic jams and better parking space for cars. Second, self-driving cars can help the disabled (残疾的) or blind people to get around more easily. Third, self-driving cars hardly make wrong decisions or lose focus (注意力), so there will be fewer accidents and deaths on the road. However, self-driving cars are not perfect. They also have some problems. If something unexpected (预料之外) on the road happens, self-driving cars cannot react (反应) as fast as human drivers. Also, when the weather is bad, like heavy snow, self-driving cars cannot see the lines on the road easily. This may cause an accident. Besides, if the computer system of the car is broken by someone, the car will crash (撞毁). It is clear that there is still a long way to go to make self-driving cars more common and safer. And China is taking steps to make this happen. 164．Since August,2022, self-driving taxis can run on the roads in these cities EXCEPT________. A．Wuhan B．Chengdu C．Chongqing D．Shenzhen 165．What does the underlined word “they” refer to(指代)? A．Self-driving cars. B．Human drivers. C．Blind people. D．Disabled people. 166．Self-driving cars hardly make wrong decisions or lose focus, so there will be ________. A．more traffic jams B．worse parking space C．fewer accidents D．more deaths 167．What problems about self-driving cars are mentioned (提及) in Paragraph 3? ①They can’t react as fast as human drivers in unexpected situations. ②They are harmful to the environment. ③They can’t see the lines on the road easily during the bad weather. ④They will crash when their computer systems are broken. A．①②③ B．①②④ C．①③④ D．②③④ 168．The passage mainly talks about ________. A．the past of self-driving cars B．the future of self-driving cars C．the system of self-driving cars D．the advantages and disadvantages of self-driving cars （2025·山东烟台·中考真题） A new study warns that millions of Europeans could die from heat-related causes by the end of the century. The study was based on predicted climate activities in 854 different European cities. It found that hot weather could kill as many as 2.3 million people in Europe by 2100. Presently, cold weather kills far more people in Europe than hot weather. But the study found that as temperatures continue to rise, deaths from cold weather will reduce over time. However, heat-related deaths are predicted to rise greatly. The researchers said the number of predicted deaths could be reduced if nations are able to find better ways of cutting down carbon (碳) pollution levels. They called for increased efforts to reduce greenhouse gases and develop air-cooling systems in parts of Europe. Without such efforts, places in Italy, southern Spain and Greece are likely to see large increases in heat deaths related to climate change. On the other hand, much of Scandinavia and Britain are predicted to see fewer cold-related deaths, largely because low temperatures are expected to be moderate. Pierre Masselot helped lead the research of the environmental effects on human health. “The Mediterranean (地中海) is a so-called climate hotspot,” he said. “It’s an area that is warming much quicker than the rest of the world. And Malta is right in the middle of it.” The study predicts Malta’s temperature-related deaths will increase by 269 in every 100,000 people by the end of the century. European officials reported several heat waves have killed thousands of people in recent years. The highest number was in 2003 when about 70,000 deaths were recorded. Among the areas predicted to see the most deaths from future temperature rises is Barcelona, Spain. The study found almost 250,000 people could die from temperature-related causes in that city by 2100. 169．What can we infer (推断) from the article? A．Temperatures in Europe are keeping on going up now. B．The whole of Europe will face the danger of hot weather. C．The study has researched enough actual climate activities. D．About 854 European cities are suffering from hot weather. 170．Which paragraph talks about how to reduce the heat-related deaths? A．Paragraph 3. B．Paragraph 4. C．Paragraph 5. D．Paragraph 6. 171．Which is closest in meaning to the underlined word “moderate”? A．Freezing. B．Heated. C．Changeable. D．Comfortable. 172．What can be the best title (标题) for the article? A．Dangers will come at the end of the century B．Barcelona will be hit by heat-related deaths C．Millions of Europeans face deadly heat risks D．Actions are needed to reduce carbon pollution （2025·江苏连云港·中考真题） Saturn (土星) is famous for the beautiful rings around it. Now, it’s getting attention for being even more amazing. Scientists have discovered 128 new moons around Saturn, bringing the planet’s total to 274. A moon is any naturally formed object that moves around a planet. Moons come in different shapes and sizes. Scientists discovered the moons with a powerful telescope (望远镜), which is used to study stars and planets in great detail. Scientists took many photos of areas in space and piled them on top of each other to make the moons appear bright enough to discover. Most of Saturn’s new moons are small objects, just one or two miles wide—quite different to Earth’s Moon, which is a 2,159-mile-wide ball. These space rocks are in unusual orbits (轨道) too. They go around Saturn in the opposite direction to its own movement. At between 6.5 million and 18 million miles away from the ringed planet, the newly discovered moons are also further away than Saturn’s biggest moon, Titan. Why does Saturn have so many moons while Earth only has one? According to scientists, several billion years ago, the giant planet’s gravity attracted some rocks and ice. Over time, some of them crashed against each other, breaking into smaller pieces or coming together to create many small moons. The new moons were first discovered in 2023 by a team of scientists led by Edward Ashton, and were recently confirmed by the International Astronomical Union (IAU). Saturn now is the planet with the most moons—Jupiter is not far behind with 95. However, Dr Ashton believes this might be the limit for moon discovery. “I don’t think Jupiter will ever catch up,” he said. “With present technology, I don’t think we can do better than what has already been done,” he added. 173．What do we know about the new discovery? A．Newly found moons look the same. B．Scientists found new moons by accident. C．Saturn’s rings attract many scientists. D．128 new moons were found around Saturn. 174．What does “the ringed planet” in Paragraph 3 refer to? A．Earth. B．Saturn. C．Moon. D．Titan. 175．What led to the large number of Saturn’s moons? A．The size of the planet. B．The weights of the moons. C．The orbit of the planet. D．The crashes of the moons. 176．What can we learn from Dr Ashton’s words in the last paragraph? A．Jupiter will soon catch up with Saturn. B．Saturn’s new moons might support life. C．The IAU presented a medal to his team. D．He is satisfied with their moon discovery. （2025·四川遂宁·中考真题） On December 17, 2024, two Chinese astronauts, Cai Xuzhe and Song Lingdong, made history.

In the late 18th century, Europeans came to live in New Zealand. At that time, the population of the Maori was probably 250,000 in New Zealand. Over the next one hundred years, wars and illness 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 500,00 Maori people in New Zealand. Most live like other New Zealanders, but they are keeping the Maori language and tradition alive. Now there are 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. 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 every 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 down to their children. 182．When did the Maori first get to New Zealand? A．About the 11th century.

Thanks to AI, visitors to a museum in England can talk to them now. The museum works with an AI company so that it is possible for people and the natural world to communicate with each other. It brings 13 of its specimens back to life. Visitors only need to use their smartphones to scan the QR codes (二维码) next to the specimens to begin talking with them—either by text or voice. The animals will reply as if they’re still alive. This is a new way for people to learn about animals. The museum wants to see how this can help people connect with nature better. “This is just a try using AI technology in nature science. Will it help people know more about the specimen animals? Will it influence people’s opinions about them? For example, will people like the mouse better after hearing its voice? We are not sure.” said Jack Ashby, a worker of the museum. And you don’t have to speak English, by the way—the animals are multilingual. So no matter what languages you speak, the animals can talk to you in a way that’s easy for you to understand. The project engineers hope to make people care more about the biodiversity crisis (生物多样性危机). According to the most recent research, wildlife populations dropped by 69% between 1970 and 2018. And animals are dying out at a faster speed. Let’s hope the new technology will be both fun and helpful. 187．What does AI do in the science museum? A．It helps the animals to live longer. B．It helps the museum to make more money. C．It helps visitors to talk with the specimens. D．It helps the scientists to make specimens. 188．How does writer express his opinion in paragraph 5? A．By listing numbers. B．By comparing facts. C．By explaining reasons. D．By asking questions. 189．What does the underlined sentence “the animals are multilingual” mean in paragraph 6? A．The animals can’t speak any languages. B．The animals can speak only one language. C．The animals can speak two languages. D．The animals can speak several different languages. 190．Why does the museum work with the AI company? A．Because the museum hopes to make the number of animals increase. B．Because the museum wishes visitors to learn more about animals. C．Because the museum would like to help visitors communicate with each other. D．Because the museum wants to teach visitors how to use smartphones in the museum. 191．What does the writer hope new technology will be like? A．Interesting and useful. B．Cheap and smart. C．Smooth and safe. D．Convenient and fast. （2025·四川南充·中考真题） Which book is your favorite one? Many people may choose Journey to the West. Now the book breathes new life into ancient buildings. China’s video game Black Myth: Wukong uses 3D scanning technology to recreate Chinese wonderful old buildings. This method not only reduced costs but also provided players with a new look into the beauty of Chinese culture. Liu Xiaoyu, a player from Beijing, expressed admiration for the game’s high quality and its lively description of ancient buildings. “The historical buildings in the game are so well-mixed with the storyline. I’m planning to visit the filming locations soon to experience the cultural heritage (遗产) first-hand,” Liu said. China is home to a large number of well-protected ancient buildings. Known as the “treasure of ancient Chinese buildings,” Shanxi has 531 nationally protected cultural heritage sites, near 10.5 percent of the country’s total—the highest in China. Black Myth: Wukong covers 36 filming locations, with 27 of them located in Shanxi. One such location is the Xiaoxitian Temple where tourists go to the rather beautiful Daxiong Hall, a 100-square-meter building with an amazing 400- year-old sculptures (雕塑). “The ancient buildings are there, and once you see them, you’ll fall in love with them, and discover the beauty of Chinese culture.” said Yang Qi, the game’s art director. “What we do is simply to make players embrace it through the game.” Besides the buildings, the game also shows people the traditional Chinese clothing styles, Chinese landscape and Chinese paintings as well.
