We hope students can get enough rest, reduce stress and better balance study and life. For more details, please check with class teachers. Best wishes, Teaching Office of Senior One Considering the importance of helping students have a healthy body and mind, the school made this decision. Besides, it is scientific not to make students spend too much time at school. This change in the senior high school quickly becomes a hot topic. People have different ideas about it.     Cheng Xiaomeng, a student     Li Tao, a student The two-day weekend provides me with more time for my all-round development. I can take up new hobbies, like gardening, yoga or painting. Also, I can take part in volunteer work or community service. These activities help open my eyes, improve my communication skills and grow my sense of responsibility. My parents are busy working on weekends. For two days, there’s no one watching over me. I may lose myself in playing computer games or watching TV rather than focusing on my studies. If I relax over the weekend while other classmates continue studying, I am afraid I will fall behind.     Mr. Yu, a parent     Ms. Ma, a teacher AI is developing fast. AI and the two-day break at home give children chances to learn more efficiently (高效地). AI can make personal learning plans to help deal with children’s difficulties. What’s more, AI offers intelligent services to answer children’s questions at any time. The two-day weekend makes independent learning possible for students. They can set their own study goals, and manage their time to reflect on what they’ve learned at school or further explore (探究) subjects they enjoy. This helps them to develop their thinking ability. 1．When will the students no longer go to school? 2．Who thinks differently from the others about the decision? 3．How can AI help deal with difficulties? 4．According to the teacher, why is independent learning important to students? 5．As a student who is going to senior high school, what do you think of the school’s decision? Why do you think so? （2） （2024·山西·中考真题）请阅读下面语篇，根据其内容回答问题，并将答案写在答题卡相应的位置上。 If you have a chance to learn by yourself, what might you do? Perhaps you choose to practice football skills; you would prefer to discuss something together; and you might just read. This is the most important thing of “unschooling”. It is also known as “natural learning” or “independent learning”. For this kind of educational practice, people think differently. Here are their comments (意见). Know MoreSchooling is education that children receive at school. Home schooling is the practice of educating that children learn at home with a parent or a tutor. Unschooling is an educational practice that allows children to decide how, what and where they want to learn. AgreeIndependent learning teaches children to be responsible for themselves. With no teacher around, children must manage themselves, and this is a really important skill for later life. Unschooling allows children to learn what they are really interested in. If learning is enjoyable, it’s more successful. Very young children learn in a natural way. Without being taught, they know colors and voices, they learn smiling and walking. Why shouldn’t people continue to learn like this? Unschooling gives children more time for sports, volunteering and museum or park visits. They may meet different people who share their interests. DisagreeUnschooling requires parents’ support and attention. They need to create a learning space that excites children and remind them of their daily routines. Teachers can push children to learn what they don’t enjoy but can be important later in life. Unschooling sounds too good to be true. It can be helpful when children are very young. But it puts too much pressure on children because they can learn difficult subjects easily only with teachers’ help. Unschooling happens at home, so children could have less contact with others at their age. This means they could end up becoming shy. When deciding how you are going to learn, it’s necessary to think about which works. Choose what is suitable for you and what can have a positive influence on your growth. 1．What is the most important thing of unschooling? 2．Whose support and attention do children need when they experience unschooling? 3．How can children become successful in learning? 4．Why are children under too much pressure from unschooling? 5．If possible, what kind of educational practice would you like to choose? Why? （3） （2023·山西·中考真题）请阅读下面的非连续性文本，根据语篇内容，回答问题，并将答案写在答题卡相应的位置上。 Project-based learning（项目化学习）is learning while doing. It gives learners the chance to get a deeper understanding of a topic. During the learning, learners solve problems by using real-world examples and challenges. Project-based learning is becoming widely used in schools. Students work on a project over a period of time—from a week to a term. At the end of the project, they show their knowledge and skills by creating a product for people. Let’s take the example of Sandra. Sandra is an eleven-year-old student in Sunshine Primary School. She wanted to know more about Greek mythology（希腊神话）. Well, how did she make it? ◆ She chose Greek mythology characters as the topic because she was interested in the characters and their stories. ◆ Step 1 Choose a topic ◆ She had to learn about that topic and do some research on it. To collect information, she read books and articles about the history of Greek mythology. She also read some novels like Harry Potter and Percy Jackson. She watched videos and played games all connected with Greek mythology. When she collected her information, she was ready to create a project. ◆ Step 2 Do the research ◆ She created a project based on（以……为基础）her talents and skills. She loves to build with Legos（乐高）, so she decided to build lego creations based on the stories of Greek mythology characters. She’s also really good at art, so she created a book about her favorite characters. In her book, she drew pictures of them and wrote the stories in her own words. ◆ Step 3 ________ ◆ After all of that work, she made a living room presentation for Mom and Dad and shared the two products that she had created. Then she shared her project online with friends, and even shared her project on social media. ◆ Step 4 Do the presentation From the example of Sandra, we can see that project-based learning allows a student to learn about a topic and then create a project based on his or her talents and skills. Not everyone is a great test taker, but everyone is good at something. Through project work, students can not only learn deeply about a topic, but also have fun learning. So if you’ re interested in something, why not start with project-based learning? 1．How do learners solve problems in project-based learning? 2．How long does it take students to finish a project? 3．What did Sandra do to collect information? （One example is OK. ） 4． What is the best subtitle（小标题）of Step 3? 5．What were the two products that Sandra created? Why could she create them? 6．What do you think of Sandra’s learning experience? In your opinion, what’s the advantage of project-based learning? （4） （2022·山西·中考真题）请阅读下面的非连续性文本，根据语篇内容，回答问题。 Footprint means the influence that a person’s or organization’s activities have on the environment. Simply understanding it is very useful to us. (Let’s take the example of Mr. Brown’s footprints.)Water footprint Water is the source of life. We use water directly for drinking, cooking and washing, but we also use water indirectly for producing things such as food, paper and cloth. A water footprint tells us how much water is being used. It can help us come up with ways to save water. You can learn about how your daily habits influence your water use through the food you eat, the things you buy and even the energy you use. Food Water Footprint Mr. Brown’s Water Footprint an apple 70 litres(升) breakfast: a hamburger, a cup of coffee lunch: a cup of coffee, a sandwich, an apple dinner: vegetable salad, 0.2 kilo of beef a cup of coffee 140 litres a kilo of beef 15, 500 litres one hamburger 2, 400 litres (Chart I)                                                 (Chart Ⅱ) Carbon(碳) footprint A carbon footprint is the total amount of CO₂ a person or organization produces. We can use it to understand the influence of personal behavior on global warming (全球变暖). Most people are surprised when they see how much CO₂ their activities create. Then they begin to think about changing their daily habits to reduce(减少) their carbon footprints. For example, they can walk instead of using a car. Carbon Footprint(Each of the following activities adds 1 kilo of CO₂) Mr. Brown’s Carbon Footprint travel 10 to 12 km by train or bus drive 6 km by car produce 5 plastic bags use your computer for 32 hours drive to work 24 km drive to the supermarket 5 km use 5 plastic bags for shopping use his computer for about 8 hours    (Chart III)                                                      (Chart IV) How to reduce your water footprint and carbon footprint to be greener Tip 1: Save water and electricity When you are at home, don’t leave the water or lights on when you don’t need it. Tip2: __▲__ Meatless Monday is popular with people who want to eat less meat. The production of meat uses lots of energy and produces lots of CO₂. Tip 3: Buy less The more we buy, the more we throw away later. Before you buy something, think about whether you really need it. Everyone plays a role in making a greener Earth. If you know about your footprints well, you can think up more ways to protect the environment. 1．What do we use water indirectly for? 2．How many litres of water are used for Mr. Brown’s breakfast? 3．Why do we use carbon footprint? 4．What can Mr. Brown do to reduce his carbon footprint? Why do you think so? 5．What is the best subtitle(小标题) of Tip 2? 6．What’s your understanding of footprint? How can you become “greener”? （5） （2021·山西·中考真题）请阅读下面的非连续性文本，按要求完成所给任务，并将答案写在答题卡相应的位置上。 As the saying goes, “Read ten thousand books and travel ten thousand miles”.

It cost just 7.9 yuan. “I love this design because it has our school’s logo (标志),” said Lin. The Cultural Creativity Club is one of the most popular clubs in the school. It was started after a school trip to Henan earlier this year. “The province’s rich culture inspired (启发) us to create products that mix tradition with modern style,” said Peng Shaohang, 14, one of the club’s leaders. The club has made two main products: the Tiger-head Shoes Pen and the Rabbit Card Holder. In Chinese culture, tiger-head shoes bring good luck and health. They kept the tiger-head design but added a modern touch by using their school’s name, “Bei Zhong”, on the pattern (图案). This connects tradition with school spirit. The Rabbit Card Holder was inspired by the rabbits raised in school that the students really like. It also includes the school motto (校训): Benevolence, Wisdom, Courage, and Happiness (仁、智、勇、乐). Each rabbit shows one of these values. For example, the benevolent rabbit plants trees to protect the environment; the wise rabbit flies a drone (无人机) to show intelligence (智慧) and science, and the happy rabbit plays the guitar to spread joy. The club’s products are sold both online and offline. Money from sales supports students in need and social activities. 1．How much does a rabbit card holder cost? 2．What inspired the club to create products that mix tradition with modern style? 3．What can tiger-head shoes bring people? 4．What is the school motto of Beijing Academy? 5．What kind of rabbits do you like best?

Many people think writing Chinese characters (汉字) isn’t that important anymore. But actually this is not true. Why? ☆Chinese characters carry Chinese culture. They hold a lot of history and stories. When we write Chinese characters, we’re showing respect for our culture. Each time we pick up a pen, it’s like we’re having a conversation with history. For example, the character “家”. The top part looks like a house, and the bottom part means “a pig”. The pig is an important animal for Chinese. Long ago, people thought having a pig at home meant a happy family. Isn’t that interesting? ☆Writing Chinese characters also helps us grow. People say “your handwriting shows who you are”. A person’s writing can tell us about their personality (性格). When we write carefully, it’s easier for us to calm down. What’s more, in the process of writing, we learn to be patient and focused, and it makes us better inside. In order to make people, especially young students, love writing Chinese characters, use Chinese characters correctly and pass on our great Chinese culture, the Ministry of Education (MOE，教育部) and the National Language Commission (NLC,国家语委) started the “Chinese Calligraphy with Ink and Brush” Competition in 2019. The “Chinese Calligraphy with Ink and Brush” Competition It’s a big, free national event. School students, teachers, and people from all over the country can take part. There are three kinds of writing: writing with a pen, a brush, or chalk. For the competition, you need to write things that show Chinese culture, love for our country, or positive ideas. Remember, your work must be new. You should finish it all by yourself. 1．Which sentence in the Chinese poem best matches (匹配) the example in Paragraph 2? 2．How can writing Chinese characters help us? 3．Why did MOE and NLC start this competition? 4．If you want to attend the competition this year, what should you write? 5．Do you think handwriting is important? As middle school students, what can we do to improve our handwriting? （5） （2025·山西吕梁·三模）请阅读下面语篇，根据其内容回答问题，并将答案写在答题卡相应的位置上。 Another leaning tower (斜塔) in Italy is in danger of falling. But it is not the famous one in Pisa. It is the Garisenda Tower. The tower is about 1,000 years old. It has been leaning since it was built. Now, Italy has made a plan to restore it. Leaning towers are seen very often in Italy, as well as in other parts of the world. You may be surprised to know that some popular buildings also lean to one side, such as Big Bea in the UK and the Huqiu Tower in Suzhou, China, But why don’t they stand straight? Stand on a “carpet” (地毯)One big reason is the ground. Many towers, such as the Leaning Tower of Pisa and the Garisenda Tower, stand on soft and uneven (不平坦的) ground. Some parts of the ground are weak. Think of building a tower on a soft carpet. The tower can only get to a certain height and then it starts to lean. Power of waterSome towers are built in rainy places. They are rich in underground water. This water can damage the foundation (地基) of the towers. For example, Suzhou is a water town in China. The foundation of the Huqiu Tower in Suzhou has been damaged by underground water. This also happened to many towers in Venice, Italy. Human mistakesWe humans also did some silly things. People once rebuilt the inside of the Garisenda Tower, which damaged the tower’s body and made it lean even more. London built an underground parking lot and a subway around Big Ben, which changed the ground under the tower and made it start to lean. 1．When was the Garisenda Tower built? 2．Which tower leans the most according to the Chart? 3．What has damaged the foundation of the Huqiu Tower? 4．What happened when people rebuilt the inside of the Garisenda Tower? 5．Have you ever been to any leaning towers? What can we do to protect the leaning towers? （6） （2025·山西朔州·三模）请阅读下面语篇，根据其内容回答问题，并将答案写在答题卡相应的位置上。 It is well known that silk was discovered in China and it plays an important role in Chinese culture. Here are some facts about silk. Silk in Chinese Culture The history of Chinese silk could date back to more than 5,000 years ago. And this kind of clothes became popular soon. Silk has a look and feel of richness. Only members of the royal family could wear clothes made of silk. China’s technology was developing fast. Emperor Wu Di of the Western Han Dynasty decided to develop trade with other countries. Building a road becomes an important thing for the silk trade. The Silk Road After nearly 60 years of war, the world-famous ancient Silk Road was built at the cost of many losses of life and treasures. As the world’s oldest trade route, the Silk Road wasn’t just for trade—it also helped spread ideas, cultures, and technologies between the East and the West. Today, it has become a hot tour route and tourists are attracted to experience the history, culture relics and scenery. When Marco Polo was young, he traveled along the Silk Road to China from Italy. Then he spent 17 years in China. He wrote a book describing China’s amazing cities, inventions, and customs. His stories introduced Asian culture and encouraged more exploration. Marco Polo’s journey is still one of the most exciting stories of cultural exchange in history! Chinese Silk: a Global Love Chinese silk, along with many other Chinese inventions, was passed to Europe. Romans, especially women, were crazy about Chinese silk. It was a symbol of wealth and high social status(地位) for them to wear silk clothes. Nowadays, silk is still kind of expensive. Some countries are trying some new ways to make silk without silkworms(蚕). Hopefully, they can be successful. But whatever the result, nobody should forget that silk was, still is, and will always be a priceless treasure. 1．How long is the history of Chinese silk? 2．What’s the title for the first chart? 3．Why does the writer talk about Marco Polo’s story? 4．Why were Romans crazy about Chinese silk? 5．Do you think people can make silk without silkworms?

Each lifestyle offers its own set of experiences, and opinions vary greatly on which is more desirable. Let’s take a look at what people think about city life and country life. Know MoreCity life means living in big cities. Big cities have lots of people, good infrastructure, and many places for shopping, culture and fun. Country life means living in the countryside. The countryside has lots of open space, farmland, and people there live at a slow pace. They have a friendly community too. Agree Disagree It’s easy to find jobs in cities. There are lots of industries, like finance, tech, media and art. People can pick different jobs and earn more. There are great museums, theaters and concert halls. You can eat food from different countries in city restaurants. What’s more, cities have more convenient transport, which is easy for people to go everywhere. Cities are often crowded and noisy. Too many people cause traffic jams. It takes a long time to get around, and public places are full. Living in cities costs a lot. Housing, food, and having fun are all expensive. Pollution is a big problem. Dirty air and noise make life less comfortable. City life is fast-paced. It makes people stressed and hard to balance work and life. The countryside offers a peaceful and relaxing environment. The air is fresher, and the scenery is often beautiful, with green fields and clear skies. People can enjoy a slower pace of life, away from the stress. People here have a sense of community. This helps neighbors know each other well and always be ready to help one another. Country life also allows for a closer connection to nature. There aren’t many jobs in the countryside. Most jobs are in farming. People who want other jobs usually need to travel far to the city. There aren’t many places for fun and culture. It’s harder to get good healthcare and education. Public transportation isn’t good. So it’s inconvenient for people without cars to go out. When choosing between city life and country life, individuals need to consider their personal values, career goals, and lifestyle preferences. Both have their own charm and drawbacks, and the right choice can greatly impact one’s quality of life. 1．What is city life according to the passage? 2．Who may find the high-paying jobs more easily people in the city or in the countryside? 3．How does the sense of community in the country do good to people? 4．Why is the cost of living high in cities? 5．If you had to choose between city life and country life, which would you choose? Give your reasons. （8） （2025·山西朔州·三模）请阅读下面语篇，根据其内容回答问题，并将答案写在答题卡相应的位置上。 You’ve all experienced this: You’re in a lovely dream, but suddenly your alarm goes off. Ugh…it’s time to get up!

Perhaps you choose to practice football skills; you would prefer to discuss something together; and you might just read. This is the most important thing of “unschooling”. It is also known as “natural learning” or “independent learning”. For this kind of educational practice, people think differently. Here are their comments (意见). Know MoreSchooling is education that children receive at school. Home schooling is the practice of educating that children learn at home with a parent or a tutor. Unschooling is an educational practice that allows children to decide how, what and where they want to learn. AgreeIndependent learning teaches children to be responsible for themselves. With no teacher around, children must manage themselves, and this is a really important skill for later life. Unschooling allows children to learn what they are really interested in. If learning is enjoyable, it’s more successful. Very young children learn in a natural way. Without being taught, they know colors and voices, they learn smiling and walking. Why shouldn’t people continue to learn like this? Unschooling gives children more time for sports, volunteering and museum or park visits. They may meet different people who share their interests. DisagreeUnschooling requires parents’ support and attention. They need to create a learning space that excites children and remind them of their daily routines. Teachers can push children to learn what they don’t enjoy but can be important later in life. Unschooling sounds too good to be true. It can be helpful when children are very young. But it puts too much pressure on children because they can learn difficult subjects easily only with teachers’ help. Unschooling happens at home, so children could have less contact with others at their age. This means they could end up becoming shy. When deciding how you are going to learn, it’s necessary to think about which works. Choose what is suitable for you and what can have a positive influence on your growth. 1．What is the most important thing of unschooling? 2．Whose support and attention do children need when they experience unschooling? 3．How can children become successful in learning? 4．Why are children under too much pressure from unschooling? 5．If possible, what kind of educational practice would you like to choose? Why? 【答案】1．It allows children to decide how, what and where they want to learn. 2．(They need their) parents’ support and attention. 3．By learning what they are really interested in./They can learn what they are really interested in. 4．Because they can’t learn difficult subjects easily without teachers’ help./Because they can learn difficult subjects easily only with teachers’ help. 5．示例一：Schooling. Because school teaches the importance of timekeeping and discipline, which prepares me for future life and work./Because it provides me with chances to have contact with other children of my age./Because at school, teachers can push me to learn what I don’t enjoy but can be important later in life. 示例二：Unschooling. Because it may take me out of the stress from the competition with other students at school./Because I need to be responsible for myself, which helps develop my independence./Because it gives me more time for sports, volunteering and museum or park visits. 示例三：Home schooling. Because it makes it possible for me to learn at my own pace. 【导语】本文是一篇议论文，文章介绍了学校教育、家庭教育以及非学校教育三种不同的教育方式。对于非学校教育，不同的人有不同的看法，文章介绍了两种观点。 1．根据“Unschooling is an educational practice that allows children to decide how, what and where they want to learn.”可知，非学校教育最重要的事情是允许孩子们自主决定他们想要学习的方式、内容和地点。故填It allows children to decide how, what and where they want to learn. 2．根据“Unschooling requires parents’ support and attention.”可知，孩子们在进行非学校教育时，最需要他们父母的支持和关注。故填(They need their) parents’ support and attention. 3．根据“Unschooling allows children to learn what they are really interested in. If learning is enjoyable, it’s more successful.”可知，孩子们通过学习自己真正感兴趣的内容，会变得更成功。故填By learning what they are really interested in./They can learn what they are really interested in. 4．根据“But it puts too much pressure on children because they can learn difficult subjects easily only with teachers’ help.”可知，因为孩子们只有在老师的帮助下才能轻松地学习困难的科目，所以非学校教育的模式会给孩子们带来太多的压力。故填Because they can’t learn difficult subjects easily without teachers’ help./Because they can learn difficult subjects easily only with teachers’ help. 5．本题是一道开放性试题，从学校教育、家庭教育以及非学校教育三种不同的教育方式中任选其一即可，并给出合理的理由。参考答案为：Schooling. Because school teaches the importance of timekeeping and discipline, which prepares me for future life and work./Because it provides me with chances to have contact with other children of my age./Because at school, teachers can push me to learn what I don’t enjoy but can be important later in life. / Unschooling. Because it may take me out of the stress from the competition with other students at school./Because I need to be responsible for myself, which helps develop my independence./Because it gives me more time for sports, volunteering and museum or park visits. / Home schooling.

It gives learners the chance to get a deeper understanding of a topic. During the learning, learners solve problems by using real-world examples and challenges. Project-based learning is becoming widely used in schools. Students work on a project over a period of time—from a week to a term. At the end of the project, they show their knowledge and skills by creating a product for people. Let’s take the example of Sandra. Sandra is an eleven-year-old student in Sunshine Primary School. She wanted to know more about Greek mythology（希腊神话）. Well, how did she make it? ◆ She chose Greek mythology characters as the topic because she was interested in the characters and their stories. ◆ Step 1 Choose a topic ◆ She had to learn about that topic and do some research on it.

In her book, she drew pictures of them and wrote the stories in her own words. ◆ Step 3 ________ ◆ After all of that work, she made a living room presentation for Mom and Dad and shared the two products that she had created. Then she shared her project online with friends, and even shared her project on social media. ◆ Step 4 Do the presentation From the example of Sandra, we can see that project-based learning allows a student to learn about a topic and then create a project based on his or her talents and skills. Not everyone is a great test taker, but everyone is good at something. Through project work, students can not only learn deeply about a topic, but also have fun learning. So if you’ re interested in something, why not start with project-based learning? 1．How do learners solve problems in project-based learning? 2．How long does it take students to finish a project? 3．What did Sandra do to collect information? （One example is OK. ） 4． What is the best subtitle（小标题）of Step 3? 5．What were the two products that Sandra created?

Simply understanding it is very useful to us. (Let’s take the example of Mr. Brown’s footprints.)Water footprint Water is the source of life. We use water directly for drinking, cooking and washing, but we also use water indirectly for producing things such as food, paper and cloth. A water footprint tells us how much water is being used. It can help us come up with ways to save water. You can learn about how your daily habits influence your water use through the food you eat, the things you buy and even the energy you use. Food Water Footprint Mr. Brown’s Water Footprint an apple 70 litres(升) breakfast: a hamburger, a cup of coffee lunch: a cup of coffee, a sandwich, an apple dinner: vegetable salad, 0.2 kilo of beef a cup of coffee 140 litres a kilo of beef 15, 500 litres one hamburger 2, 400 litres (Chart I)                                                 (Chart Ⅱ) Carbon(碳) footprint A carbon footprint is the total amount of CO₂ a person or organization produces. We can use it to understand the influence of personal behavior on global warming (全球变暖). Most people are surprised when they see how much CO₂ their activities create. Then they begin to think about changing their daily habits to reduce(减少) their carbon footprints. For example, they can walk instead of using a car. Carbon Footprint(Each of the following activities adds 1 kilo of CO₂) Mr. Brown’s Carbon Footprint travel 10 to 12 km by train or bus drive 6 km by car produce 5 plastic bags use your computer for 32 hours drive to work 24 km drive to the supermarket 5 km use 5 plastic bags for shopping use his computer for about 8 hours    (Chart III)                                                      (Chart IV) How to reduce your water footprint and carbon footprint to be greener Tip 1: Save water and electricity When you are at home, don’t leave the water or lights on when you don’t need it. Tip2: __▲__ Meatless Monday is popular with people who want to eat less meat. The production of meat uses lots of energy and produces lots of CO₂. Tip 3: Buy less The more we buy, the more we throw away later. Before you buy something, think about whether you really need it. Everyone plays a role in making a greener Earth. If you know about your footprints well, you can think up more ways to protect the environment. 1．What do we use water indirectly for? 2．How many litres of water are used for Mr. Brown’s breakfast? 3．Why do we use carbon footprint? 4．What can Mr. Brown do to reduce his carbon footprint? Why do you think so? 5．What is the best subtitle(小标题) of Tip 2? 6．What’s your understanding of footprint? How can you become “greener”? 【答案】1．(We use it indirectly for) producing things (such as food, paper and cloth). 2．2,540 (litres of water are used for it). 3．(We use it) to understand the influence of personal behavior on global warming./Because it helps us understand the influence of personal behavior on global warming./It helps us think about changing our daily habits to stop global warming/reduce our carbon footprints./... 4．He can take the bus to work/share a car with his workmates/take a reusable bag while shopping./...(Because I think) it helps produce less CO₂/reduce greenhouse gases/create a lower/smaller carbon footprint./... 5．Eat less meat/Eat meat less 6．It can help me think up ways to protect the environment./It’s a useful tool for me to understand the influence that my daily habits have on the environment./... I can walk to school./By ordering less while eating out./I can recycle things as much as possible./... 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，以布朗先生为例，介绍水足迹、碳足迹，并呼吁我们保护环境。 1．根据“but we also use water indirectly for producing things such as food, paper and cloth”可知，我们也间接地使用水生产东西，如食物，纸和布。故填(We use it indirectly for) producing things (such as food, paper and cloth). 2．根据Chart I和Chart Ⅱ可知，a hamburger 2,400 litres，a cup of coffee 140 litres，所以早餐是2,540 litres。故填2,540 (litres of water are used for it). 3．根据“We can use it to understand the influence of personal behavior on global warming (全球变暖).”可知，我们可以用碳足迹来了解个人行为对全球变暖的影响，故填(We use it) to understand the influence of personal behavior on global warming./Because it helps us understand the influence of personal behavior on global warming./It helps us think about changing our daily habits to stop global warming/reduce our carbon footprints./... 4．本题属于开放性试题，言之有理即可，开车会产生二氧化碳，所以布朗先生可以坐公交或者和同事一起搭车，塑料袋对环境有害，所以可以带一个环保袋去购物。因为环保的方式可以减少二氧化碳、温室气体的排放，产生更少的碳足迹。故填He can take the bus to work/share a car with his workmates/take a reusable bag while shopping./...(Because I think) it helps produce less CO₂/reduce greenhouse gases/create a lower/smaller carbon footprint./... 5．根据“Meatless Monday is popular with people who want to eat less meat. The production of meat uses lots of energy and produces lots of CO₂.”可知，“无肉星期一”很受那些想少吃肉的人的欢迎。 生产肉类需要消耗大量的能源，并产生大量的二氧化碳。所以“少吃肉”可以作为本段的标题，故填Eat less meat/Eat meat less。 6．本题属于开放性试题，言之有理即可，参考答案：It can help me think up ways to protect the environment./It’s a useful tool for me to understand the influence that my daily habits have on the environment./...I can walk to school./By ordering less while eating out./I can recycle things as much as possible./... （5） （2021·山西·中考真题）请阅读下面的非连续性文本，按要求完成所给任务，并将答案写在答题卡相应的位置上。 As the saying goes, “Read ten thousand books and travel ten thousand miles”.

Many people think writing Chinese characters (汉字) isn’t that important anymore. But actually this is not true. Why? ☆Chinese characters carry Chinese culture. They hold a lot of history and stories. When we write Chinese characters, we’re showing respect for our culture. Each time we pick up a pen, it’s like we’re having a conversation with history. For example, the character “家”. The top part looks like a house, and the bottom part means “a pig”. The pig is an important animal for Chinese. Long ago, people thought having a pig at home meant a happy family. Isn’t that interesting? ☆Writing Chinese characters also helps us grow. People say “your handwriting shows who you are”. A person’s writing can tell us about their personality (性格). When we write carefully, it’s easier for us to calm down. What’s more, in the process of writing, we learn to be patient and focused, and it makes us better inside. In order to make people, especially young students, love writing Chinese characters, use Chinese characters correctly and pass on our great Chinese culture, the Ministry of Education (MOE，教育部) and the National Language Commission (NLC,国家语委) started the “Chinese Calligraphy with Ink and Brush” Competition in 2019. The “Chinese Calligraphy with Ink and Brush” Competition It’s a big, free national event. School students, teachers, and people from all over the country can take part. There are three kinds of writing: writing with a pen, a brush, or chalk. For the competition, you need to write things that show Chinese culture, love for our country, or positive ideas. Remember, your work must be new. You should finish it all by yourself. 1．Which sentence in the Chinese poem best matches (匹配) the example in Paragraph 2? 2．How can writing Chinese characters help us? 3．Why did MOE and NLC start this competition? 4．If you want to attend the competition this year, what should you write? 5．Do you think handwriting is important?

But it is not the famous one in Pisa. It is the Garisenda Tower. The tower is about 1,000 years old. It has been leaning since it was built. Now, Italy has made a plan to restore it. Leaning towers are seen very often in Italy, as well as in other parts of the world. You may be surprised to know that some popular buildings also lean to one side, such as Big Bea in the UK and the Huqiu Tower in Suzhou, China, But why don’t they stand straight? Stand on a “carpet” (地毯)One big reason is the ground. Many towers, such as the Leaning Tower of Pisa and the Garisenda Tower, stand on soft and uneven (不平坦的) ground. Some parts of the ground are weak. Think of building a tower on a soft carpet. The tower can only get to a certain height and then it starts to lean. Power of waterSome towers are built in rainy places. They are rich in underground water. This water can damage the foundation (地基) of the towers. For example, Suzhou is a water town in China. The foundation of the Huqiu Tower in Suzhou has been damaged by underground water. This also happened to many towers in Venice, Italy. Human mistakesWe humans also did some silly things. People once rebuilt the inside of the Garisenda Tower, which damaged the tower’s body and made it lean even more.

Silk has a look and feel of richness. Only members of the royal family could wear clothes made of silk. China’s technology was developing fast. Emperor Wu Di of the Western Han Dynasty decided to develop trade with other countries. Building a road becomes an important thing for the silk trade. The Silk Road After nearly 60 years of war, the world-famous ancient Silk Road was built at the cost of many losses of life and treasures. As the world’s oldest trade route, the Silk Road wasn’t just for trade—it also helped spread ideas, cultures, and technologies between the East and the West. Today, it has become a hot tour route and tourists are attracted to experience the history, culture relics and scenery. When Marco Polo was young, he traveled along the Silk Road to China from Italy. Then he spent 17 years in China. He wrote a book describing China’s amazing cities, inventions, and customs. His stories introduced Asian culture and encouraged more exploration. Marco Polo’s journey is still one of the most exciting stories of cultural exchange in history! Chinese Silk: a Global Love Chinese silk, along with many other Chinese inventions, was passed to Europe. Romans, especially women, were crazy about Chinese silk. It was a symbol of wealth and high social status(地位) for them to wear silk clothes. Nowadays, silk is still kind of expensive.

Each lifestyle offers its own set of experiences, and opinions vary greatly on which is more desirable. Let’s take a look at what people think about city life and country life. Know MoreCity life means living in big cities. Big cities have lots of people, good infrastructure, and many places for shopping, culture and fun. Country life means living in the countryside. The countryside has lots of open space, farmland, and people there live at a slow pace. They have a friendly community too. Agree Disagree It’s easy to find jobs in cities. There are lots of industries, like finance, tech, media and art. People can pick different jobs and earn more. There are great museums, theaters and concert halls. You can eat food from different countries in city restaurants. What’s more, cities have more convenient transport, which is easy for people to go everywhere. Cities are often crowded and noisy. Too many people cause traffic jams. It takes a long time to get around, and public places are full. Living in cities costs a lot. Housing, food, and having fun are all expensive. Pollution is a big problem. Dirty air and noise make life less comfortable. City life is fast-paced. It makes people stressed and hard to balance work and life. The countryside offers a peaceful and relaxing environment. The air is fresher, and the scenery is often beautiful, with green fields and clear skies. People can enjoy a slower pace of life, away from the stress. People here have a sense of community. This helps neighbors know each other well and always be ready to help one another. Country life also allows for a closer connection to nature. There aren’t many jobs in the countryside. Most jobs are in farming. People who want other jobs usually need to travel far to the city. There aren’t many places for fun and culture. It’s harder to get good healthcare and education. Public transportation isn’t good. So it’s inconvenient for people without cars to go out. When choosing between city life and country life, individuals need to consider their personal values, career goals, and lifestyle preferences. Both have their own charm and drawbacks, and the right choice can greatly impact one’s quality of life. 1．What is city life according to the passage? 2．Who may find the high-paying jobs more easily people in the city or in the countryside? 3．How does the sense of community in the country do good to people? 4．Why is the cost of living high in cities? 5．If you had to choose between city life and country life, which would you choose?
