The Scotia had not run into something: something had run into it, and a cutting or sharp object rather than a blunt one. The blow seemed so slight that nobody on board would have worried but for the shout of the hold—workers who rushed up on to the deck (甲板). “We’re sinking! We’re sinking!” At first the passengers were quite afraid—but Captain Anderson quickly reassured (宽慰 ) them. In fact, the danger could not come at once. The Scotia, divided into seven parts, was sure to resist any leak with impunity. Captain Anderson headed at once for the hold. He noticed that the fifth part had flooded; and the speed of the flooding proved that the hole was a quite big one. Very luckily, the boilers were not in this compartment, for the fires would have gone out at once. Captain Anderson had the engines stopped at once, while one of the sailors dived to assess the damage. Shortly afterwards, the existence of a two-metre hole in the hull was confirmed. Such damage could not be repaired and the Scotia, its wheels half underwater, had to continue its journey in the same state. It was 300 miles from Cape Clear, and was three days late when it sailed into the company docks, having greatly worried Liverpool. The engineers then carried out an inspection (检查) of the Scotia, which was in dry dock. They couldn’t believe their eyes. Two and a half meters below the water-line appeared a neat hole in the form of an isosceles triangle (等腰三角形 ). The break in the board was perfectly clean, and could not have been cut with greater precision. —Taken from Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea 11. Where did the story take place? A. In the ocean. B. In a house. C. In the lake. D. In a garden. 12. What does the underlined word “blunt” mean in Paragraph 2? A. sharp and pointed B. dull and not sharp C. heavy and large D. light and small 初二英语 第 3 页，共 7 页 13. Why was the Scotia three days late when it reached the company docks? A. Because the crew stopped to repair the hole. B. Because the passengers refused to continue the journey. C. Because the ship had to slow down due to the damage. D. Because the weather was too bad to sail. 14. Which of the following is the correct order according to the story? a. The Captain stopped the engines. b. The boat crushed into something sharp. c. The engineers checked the Scotia for damage. d. People realized that the Scotia was sinking. A. a-b-d-c B. b-d-c-a C. b-d-a-c D. d-a-b-c 15. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage? A. The story took place in the morning. B. Captain Anderson was very worried in the story. C. The damage was not very serious. D. At first, most people were not aware of the damage. B The story of domestication (驯化) Long ago, dogs, sheep and cows used to be wild animals. How did they turn into pets and farm animals? Let’s find out! Dogs The story of domestication started somewhere in Asia, about 15,000 to 23,000 years ago. Back then, people moved across the land. They hunted large animals and often left meat on the ground. This attracted wolves, and they probably began following the hunters. Some people started catching baby wolves. They trained these young wolves to hunt with them.With every generation, people kept wolves with “friendly” genes (基因 ). Over thousands of years, these pet wolves turned into dogs. SheepAround 13,000 years ago, people in West Asia began to domesticate animals like sheep. Sheep are small and not very dangerous, and they move in big groups and follow their leader. This makes them easy to domesticate.They became an important source of meat. Later, the farmers also learnt how to make clothes from their wool. Cows People in West Asia started to domesticate aurochs—a kind of wild ox—sometime after 8000 BCE. Aurochs are now extinct, but they used to live all over Europe and Asia. They provided people with milk and meat, and they were also good working animals. As with other animals, people chose to keep aurochs with “good” genes, and the animals slowly turned into the cows we see today. Over many thousands of years, pets and farm animals changed because of human efforts. The story of domestication still continues today. 16. What was the main reason wolves began following human hunters? A. They wanted to attack the humans. B. They were attracted by leftover meat. C. They needed protection from other animals. D. They enjoyed human company. 初二英语 第 4 页，共 7 页 17. Why were sheep easy to domesticate? A. Because they provided milk and meat. B. Because they were large and good for carrying heavy loads. C. Because they preferred to live alone, making them easier to control. D. Because they lived in groups and followed a leader, posing little threat to humans. 18. In paragraph 4, “aurochs” refers to an animal. What were they most likely? A. An extinct type of wild cattle. B. A modern type of cow. C. A wolf-like animal. D. An ancient type of sheep. 19. What can be inferred about the process of animal domestication? A. It happened quickly within a few generations. B. Humans selected animals with desirable qualities on purpose. C. Only herbivores (食草动物) were suitable for domestication. D. Domestication was equally successful for all animal species. 20. Where is this text most likely taken from? A. A fictional short story. B. A pet training handbook. C. An educational magazine. D. A travel guidebook. C Hundreds of foreign plants and animals are secretly entering China inside delivery boxes and hiding in city parks. About 660 such species now cause a loss of 200 billion yuan every year. Shenzhen Customs is fighting back with special machines after finding 17.5% more invaders (入侵者) in early 2025 than the year before. These “eco-invaders” push out local animals and plants while harming farms and forests. One water plant grows so fast that it can cover a whole lake in just six days, making fish die from lack of air. Equally dangerous are fire ants, which have spread to 12 provinces in 20 years. These insects not only hurt people with painful stings (蜇刺) but also ruin crops across wide areas. The invaders sneak in (潜行) through clever hiding ways. Wood brought from other countries often carries tiny worms that kill pine trees within 40 days. Other species, like apple snails that have thousands of babies yearly, were first brought to China for people’s use but later escaped into the wild. Customs officers recently discovered new hiding tricks, such as large ants carried inside toy boxes and shoes during border checks. To stop these invaders, customs now uses smart machines called “AI X-ray scanners” that can see inside packages. These scanners, which automatically spot unusual shapes, help officers find 25% more hidden species than before. At the same time, scientists are using special insects that eat harmful foreign weeds, creating nature’s own army against invaders. While customs officers work hard, ordinary people must also join the fight. Citizens should never set free foreign pets like red-eared turtles in nature, avoid buying strange animals or plants online, and immediately report any unknown fast-spreading species. “Every harmful creature we catch saves our environment,” said a Shenzhen Customs officer after finding dangerous species in international mail. As invaders keep finding new ways to enter, combining (结合 ) smart technology with public awareness remains China’s strongest shield (防护物) in this unseen war for our environment. 21. What is the main purpose of the passage? A. To describe different types of foreign pets. 初二英语 第 5 页，共 7 页 B. To discuss the history of fire ants in China. C. To explain how Shenzhen Customs uses technology. D. To warn about harmful foreign species and protection methods. 22. What does the phrase “push out” in Paragraph 2 most likely means? A. endanger B. protect C. observe D. warn 23. How do some foreign species enter China? A. By flying freely across national borders. B. Through online shopping made by scientific researchers. C. Through being imported before escaping into nature. D. As passengers on airplanes inspected by customs officers. 24. What result did the “AI X-ray scanners” achieve? A. They help officers detect 25% more hidden species. B. They trained insects to eat harmful foreign weeds. C. They reduced border checks by about 25%. D. They discovered 660 entirely new species. 25. Why does the customs officer state “Every harmful creature we catch saves our environment”? A. Because captured animals are sold to zoos to support environmental projects. B. To emphasize that preventing biological invasions protects ecological balance. C. To encourage citizens to keep foreign pets instead of buying local animals. D. To show that technology cannot work without international cooperation. 第二节 以下是一篇短文。请阅读全文并从下列方框里的六个句子中选择五个还原到原文中，使原文的意思完整、 连贯。（共 5小题，每小题 2分） Life in 2050: AGlimpse into Tomorrow Smart Transportation Getting around will be safer and greener.

The Scotia had not run into something: something had run into it, and a cutting or sharp object rather than a blunt one. The blow seemed so slight that nobody on board would have worried but for the shout of the hold—workers who rushed up on to the deck (甲板). “We’re sinking! We’re sinking!” At first the passengers were quite afraid—but Captain Anderson quickly reassured (宽慰) them. In fact, the danger could not come at once. The Scotia, divided into seven parts, was sure to resist any leak with impunity. Captain Anderson headed at once for the hold. He noticed that the fifth part had flooded; and the speed of the flooding proved that the hole was a quite big one. Very luckily, the boilers were not in this compartment, for the fires would have gone out at once. Captain Anderson had the engines stopped at once, while one of the sailors dived to assess the damage. Shortly afterwards, the existence of a two-metre hole in the hull was confirmed. Such damage could not be repaired and the Scotia, its wheels half underwater, had to continue its journey in the same state. It was 300 miles from Cape Clear, and was three days late when it sailed into the company docks, having greatly worried Liverpool. The engineers then carried out an inspection (检查) of the Scotia, which was in dry dock. They couldn’t believe their eyes. Two and a half meters below the water-line appeared a neat hole in the form of an isosceles triangle (等腰三角形). The break in the board was perfectly clean, and could not have been cut with greater precision. —Taken from Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea 11. Where did the story take place? A. In the ocean.

The damage was not very serious. D. At first, most people were not aware of the damage. B The story of domestication (驯化) Long ago, dogs, sheep and cows used to be wild animals. How did they turn into pets and farm animals? Let’s find out! Dogs The story of domestication started somewhere in Asia, about 15,000 to 23,000 years ago. Back then, people moved across the land. They hunted large animals and often left meat on the ground. This attracted wolves, and they probably began following the hunters. Some people started catching baby wolves. They trained these young wolves to hunt with them.With every generation, people kept wolves with “friendly” genes (基因). Over thousands of years, these pet wolves turned into dogs. Sheep Around 13,000 years ago, people in West Asia began to domesticate animals like sheep. Sheep are small and not very dangerous, and they move in big groups and follow their leader. This makes them easy to domesticate.They became an important source of meat. Later, the farmers also learnt how to make clothes from their wool. Cows People in West Asia started to domesticate aurochs—a kind of wild ox—sometime after 8000 BCE. Aurochs are now extinct, but they used to live all over Europe and Asia. They provided people with milk and meat, and they were also good working animals. As with other animals, people chose to keep aurochs with “good” genes, and the animals slowly turned into the cows we see today. Over many thousands of years, pets and farm animals changed because of human efforts. The story of domestication still continues today. 16. What was the main reason wolves began following human hunters? A. They wanted to attack the humans. B. They were attracted by leftover meat. C. They needed protection from other animals. D. They enjoyed human company. 17. Why were sheep easy to domesticate? A. Because they provided milk and meat. B. Because they were large and good for carrying heavy loads. C. Because they preferred to live alone, making them easier to control. D. Because they lived in groups and followed a leader, posing little threat to humans. 18. In paragraph 4, “aurochs” refers to an animal. What were they most likely? A. An extinct type of wild cattle. B. A modern type of cow. C. A wolf-like animal. D. An ancient type of sheep. 19. What can be inferred about the process of animal domestication? A. It happened quickly within a few generations. B. Humans selected animals with desirable qualities on purpose. C. Only herbivores (食草动物) were suitable for domestication. D. Domestication was equally successful for all animal species. 20. Where is this text most likely taken from? A. A fictional short story. B. A pet training handbook. C. An educational magazine. D. A travel guidebook. C Hundreds of foreign plants and animals are secretly entering China inside delivery boxes and hiding in city parks. About 660 such species now cause a loss of 200 billion yuan every year. Shenzhen Customs is fighting back with special machines after finding 17.5% more invaders (入侵者) in early 2025 than the year before. These “eco-invaders” push out local animals and plants while harming farms and forests. One water plant grows so fast that it can cover a whole lake in just six days, making fish die from lack of air. Equally dangerous are fire ants, which have spread to 12 provinces in 20 years. These insects not only hurt people with painful stings (蜇刺) but also ruin crops across wide areas. The invaders sneak in (潜行) through clever hiding ways. Wood brought from other countries often carries tiny worms that kill pine trees within 40 days. Other species, like apple snails that have thousands of babies yearly, were first brought to China for people’s use but later escaped into the wild. Customs officers recently discovered new hiding tricks, such as large ants carried inside toy boxes and shoes during border checks. To stop these invaders, customs now uses smart machines called “AI X-ray scanners” that can see inside packages. These scanners, which automatically spot unusual shapes, help officers find 25% more hidden species than before. At the same time, scientists are using special insects that eat harmful foreign weeds, creating nature’s own army against invaders. While customs officers work hard, ordinary people must also join the fight. Citizens should never set free foreign pets like red-eared turtles in nature, avoid buying strange animals or plants online, and immediately report any unknown fast-spreading species. “Every harmful creature we catch saves our environment,” said a Shenzhen Customs officer after finding dangerous species in international mail. As invaders keep finding new ways to enter, combining (结合) smart technology with public awareness remains China’s strongest shield (防护物) in this unseen war for our environment. 21. What is the main purpose of the passage? A. To describe different types of foreign pets. B. To discuss the history of fire ants in China. C. To explain how Shenzhen Customs uses technology. D. To warn about harmful foreign species and protection methods. 22. What does the phrase “push out” in Paragraph 2 most likely means? A. endanger B. protect C. observe D. warn 23. How do some foreign species enter China? A. By flying freely across national borders. B. Through online shopping made by scientific researchers. C. Through being imported before escaping into nature. D. As passengers on airplanes inspected by customs officers. 24. What result did the “AI X-ray scanners” achieve? A. They help officers detect 25% more hidden species. B. They trained insects to eat harmful foreign weeds. C. They reduced border checks by about 25%. D. They discovered 660 entirely new species. 25. Why does the customs officer state “Every harmful creature we catch saves our environment”? A. Because captured animals are sold to zoos to support environmental projects. B. To emphasize that preventing biological invasions protects ecological balance. C. To encourage citizens to keep foreign pets instead of buying local animals. D. To show that technology cannot work without international cooperation. 第二节 以下是一篇短文。请阅读全文并从下列方框里的六个句子中选择五个还原到原文中，使原文的意思完整、连贯。（共5小题，每小题2分） A.
