专题05 阅读理解之说明文 考点01 中考真题分类汇编 （一） （2025·湖北武汉·中考真题）Do you know the five main senses we have? They are touch, taste, sight, smell and hearing. They are controlled by different parts of our brains. So we call the brain our built-in “BeiDou”. Brains help our bodies work smoothly. Try this: close your eyes and touch your nose. It’s easy, right? That’s because our brains can receive messages about where our body parts are. We can also stand on one leg without falling down. If we lose our balance, our brains will give us orders to fix it. ★ . Tests show that people see spider pictures faster than flowers. Some researchers also found that people react (作出反应) to loud noises faster than to a friend’s voice. Scientists aren’t completely sure about the reasons. Some suggest that this skill might come from ancient times. Our ancestors were often faced with predators. So they had to protect themselves from dangerous animals like spiders and tigers, or they would lose their lives. Until today, we still jump at sudden noises or shadows (影子) in dark rooms. Here is more about brains. Can you imagine seeing colors when you hear music, or tasting candy when you see the sunshine? It’s called sense mixing. Scientists think this happens when different senses intermingle (相互交织). Another fact is that temperature sometimes influences our senses. Some people can feel storms coming through knee pain. So we often joke that we’re “human weather apps”. Also, our brains are able to make adjustment (调整) to some senses. If someone can’t see well, his hearing or touch might become stronger. Though scientists have done much research on the brain, there’s still a lot to do. Have you ever wondered why some people are better at sports? What’s the secret to improving memory? Then it’s time for you to start your discovering journey. 1．What do the two examples in the first paragraph show? A．Brains help our bodies work well. B．Human brains are different. C．Humans can touch their noses easily. D．People have many living habits. 2．Which of the following can be put in ★ ? A．It’s fun to study our ancestors’ life B．It’s easy to learn about senses C．Animals help people in many ways D．Brains are also life-saving heroes 3．Which animal in the following pictures is probably a “predator”? A． B． C． D． 4．According to paragraph 3, what might happen if your senses mix? A．You can tie your shoes without looking. B．You taste sweetness when seeing an apple. C．You jump when someone shouts suddenly. D．You feel pain in your knees before the rain comes. 5．What is the writing purpose of the last paragraph? A．To improve people’s memory. B．To encourage brain studies. C．To show the value of our brains. D．To admire scientists’ efforts. （二） （2024·湖北武汉·中考真题）You may have a house robot that can do housework for you. But is it so smart? Meet Laura, a robot in the National Library in Madrid, Spain, copying out the old books and writings in its collection. See Aurora, a headless dog-sized robot used to keep birds and other animals away at an Alaskan airport. Watch another 1.8 meter-tall legless robot called EveR6, waving its arms to guide musicians through a performance. Those robots above require artificial intelligence (AI) (人工智能). AI is a computer system (系统) that can understand languages, make decisions and solve problems. AI can be taught skills using a process called machine learning. Humans give AI information such as books, photos or videos to train it. The more information it studies, the better it can do its job. ________. For example, when you watch TV, AI is watching you. It’ll know what your favorite is and suggest similar ones. In hospitals, AI is very good at suggesting treatments and can even invent new medicines. To cut down food waste, some schools introduce online systems for the students to choose meals ahead of time. In cities, AI is used to watch out for cars that make black smoke. It works together with the police and transportation teams to stop them and keep the air clean. AI can help us fight climate (气候) change by finding clever ways to reduce energy use. Some people worry that AI will take away a large number of jobs and also fear that AI could develop out of our control and bring danger to humans. However, AI is expected to be a more powerful production tool that will help humans achieve more in less time. It is believed that the flying car will be made to offer an easier way out of the morning traffic jam (交通堵塞). Humans imagine AI might even find a way to solve the problems of our energy needs completely. Anyway, there is still a long journey for humans and AI. 1．In which pictures can we see Aurora and EveR1? A．a, c B．b, d C．b, c D．a, d 2．What BIG question does paragraph 2 answer? A．What is AI? B．Why are AI robots made? C．Where is AI used?

A．AI will be developed rapidly B．Humans depend too much on AI C．Humans wonder if AI could think D．AI has become part of daily life 4．In the future, AI is expected to be able to ________. A．suggest TV programs B．cut down food waste C．invent new medicines D．help produce enough energy 5．What would the author write about after the last paragraph? A．The end of AI. B．The history of AI. C．The way to get along with AI. D．The skill of making AI robots. （三）（2023·湖北武汉·中考真题） When the famous scientist Albert Einstein was 16 years old, he imagined himself riding alongside a beam (束) of light. He used this picture in mind to help him when working out the “theory of relativity(相对论)”. “Imagination is more important than knowledge,” said Einstein. Daydreaming, called “thought experiments” by Einstein, can make you have wild imaginings, like flying around in space. It lets your mind walk slowly around ideas, memories and experiences that aren’t happening right now. It means thinking ahead to a holiday or remembering how much you enjoyed a birthday party. According to China’s health authorities(权威机构), daydreaming for a while each day can improve your health and creativity. Disappearing into a daydream lets your mind escape when things are difficult. It helps you deal with worries and fears. For example, imagining how you’re going to speak up in class is like practicing the scene in your head, which can make you feel calmer. Daydreaming also inspires creativity and lets you find new worlds where there are no limits (限制) to what you can do or who you are. Guo Qiang, an expert in thoughts and feelings, thinks we should all make time to daydream. “Thinking for pleasure can be a powerful tool to shape our feelings,” he said. However, try not to let your mind be absent when you need to focus (聚焦) in class or cross the road. Instead, find a time when you don’t have to focus on anything, like going for a walk or brushing your teeth. Guo suggests you can start by focusing on a happy memory or imagining a future success, like scoring a goal in the World Cup. To encourage creativity, think about interesting ideas and see where your mind takes you. Research shows that people often come up with more solutions to problems after they’ve taken a break. So next time you’re stuck with homework, stop for a moment and see where your daydreams take you. 1．Which writing skill is used in paragraph 1? A．Giving an example. B．Raising a question. C．Listing numbers. D．Comparing facts. 2．Daydreaming can make people _________. A．fly around B．walk slowly C．think freely D．be absent-minded 3．Guo Qiang first suggests _________. A．escaping from the hard time B．looking for new worlds C．finding time to imagine D．focusing on success 4．What is mentioned in paragraph 4? A．The steps to daydream. B．The things to daydream of. C．The reasons for daydreaming. D．The meanings of daydreaming. 5．Daydreaming is talked about _________. A．to remind people to have a mind break B．to suggest living at the moment C．to find solutions to homework problems D．to show a science research result （四） （2023·湖北武汉·中考真题）Bert won a national prize called Young Heroes for his “green” project. This public-spirited young person was now a university student. His love for insects grew deeper and he was protecting them for the future. _________. When he was around 4 or 5, he always loved to watch different insects, especially beautiful swallowtails(凤蝶). One interesting fact he learned about swallowtails was that their bright colors warned hungry animals that they tasted bad. And it was also fun to watch how they came into being. But the reason he really fell in love with them was that they were very accessible. For example, if you wanted to attract (吸引) swallowtails, you planted some zinnias, a kind of bright flowers. Bert started a zinnia garden at his house, where he raised a large number of swallowtails over the years. With the world’s swallowtail population falling, Bert wanted people to realize that if insects like swallowtails disappeared, so would all the others above them on the food chain. To make the fact clear and easy to understand for other students, he also created a zinnia garden at his junior high school. Part of the joy for Bert was watching the younger students get excited when running after swallowtails. “Whenever a swallowtail lands on them, the young students will soon fall in love with these cute insects. They develop a new appreciation for them,” he said. Bert put his efforts into the environmental educational project and made it take flight. 1．After Bert was honored with Young Heroes, _________. A．he often gave speeches in public B．he set up his “green” project C．he became interested in swallowtails D．he went on protecting insects 2．Which of the following can be put in _________? A．Bert saved many swallowtails B．Bert had a dull childhood C．Bert found his love early in life D．Bert made a hard decision 3．The underlined word “accessible” in paragraph 2 means “_________”. A．dangerous to feed B．easy to get close to C．hard to raise D．safe to reach 4．The main reason for Bert to create a zinnia garden at school was _________. A．to watch students have fun B．to make his school more beautiful C．to stop swallowtails from disappearing D．to help kids learn about swallowtails 5．What would be the best title for the passage? A．A Bright Flower B．A Flying Project C．A Green Garden D．A Warning Action 考点02 2025年中考模拟 （一） （2025·湖北武汉江汉·三模）Have you ever made a decision but still felt unsure? Maybe you wrote a message but paused (停顿) before sending it, or chose clothes but kept changing your mind. In a world that values quick actions, hesitation (犹豫) is often seen as a weakness. But what if it is actually a wise guide? Our minds and bodies work together. When we hesitate, it might be a sign that we need to pay attention to something important. Imagine standing in front of a door but not wanting to open it. Your body could be telling you about possible dangers your mind hasn’t fully noticed. This hesitation isn’t always fear — it might mean we need more time or information to make a better choice. Hesitation can also come from our intuition (直觉). It helps us know what is truly right. For example, if you feel nervous about joining a competition even when you are fully prepared, ask yourself: Is this fear from past failures, or is your intuition warning you about real danger? ______. Pretend you have already chosen to join and notice how your body reacts (反应)— Does it feel light and calm, or heavy and worried? Here’s how to use hesitation wisely: First, slow down. If a decision feels too big, sleep on it and think again the next day. Second, talk to friends you trust or write down your thoughts. Their advice or your own words might show hidden worries or new ideas. Third, remember that hesitation is not failure. It is a tool to collect missing parts of the story before taking action. In the end, hesitation teaches us to listen — not just to our thoughts, but to our whole self. Next time you pause, ask: What is my body or intuition trying to say? The answer might help you make wiser choices. 1．Why might we hesitate before entering a room according to the passage? A．Because the body senses possible uneasiness. B．Because the door is too heavy to open. C．Because we want to get in quickly. D．Because we need others to help us. 2．Which of the following can be put in ________? A．To calm down, listen to music. B．To find out, try this simple test. C．If you don’t think so, just do it. D．If you don’t know, ask a friend. 3．What does “sleep on it” mean in Paragraph 4? A．Change decisions. B．Make quick choices. C．Reconsider after rest. D．Forget the problem. 4．What does the author think of “hesitation”? A．It leads to failure. B．It is a tool for better decisions. C．It shows personal weakness. D．It wastes valuable time. 5．Which would be the best theme picture of the passage? A． B． C． D． （二） （2025·湖北武汉新洲·二模）Have you found it hard to get out of bed for school on Monday mornings? Nowadays, many students have had this experience, so not getting enough sleep among teenagers has come into focus. Between homework, after-school activities and temptation (诱惑) to use electronic devices, many teenagers suffer from not getting enough sleep. In China, about 50% of young people born after 2000 go to bed before midnight. In the US, 77.3 percent of high school students do not get enough sleep. Thus it’s no wonder many students feel sleepy during the day. In fact, quality sleep is important for everyone, especially for teenagers. They need nine to 10 hours of sleep each day—more than adults. This is because deep mental, physical, social and emotional development happens in one’s teens. For students, sleep plays a key role in school performance. It helps with learning by improving attention, memory and thinking skills. ★ . A study in the late 20th century compared creative performance between people who didn’t get enough sleep and those who slept normally. The first group scored lower on the tests of creative thinking. They repeated the same mistakes and could not think up new ideas. More recently, in 2023, a research team discovered that “sleep onset”, a special stage of sleep, is good for creativity. This stage happens when we are between being awake and asleep. When people are encouraged to dream about a certain topic during sleep onset, they perform more creatively than at any other time. How important it is for students to get enough sleep! A new report shows that 54.7% of people who often eat late at night and 65.4% of people who are used to smoking have trouble sleeping. What’s more, 85.5% of people who seldom use their phones before bed sleep well, compared to 73.9% of those who use them often. So keep good habits! 1．What’s the main idea of paragraph 2? A．What students do after school. B．How many students don’t get enough sleep. C．How students get enough sleep. D．Why students’ sleep problems come into focus. 2．Which of the following can be put in ★ ? A．School performance is very important B．And sleep also supports teens’ creativity C．All these skills can be got through practice D．An example shows how to improve attention 3．When does “sleep onset” happen? A．When people are dreaming. B．From waking up to getting up. C．When people are in deep sleep. D．Between being awake and asleep. 4．What’s the good habit for quality sleep? A．Often eating late at night. B．Being used to smoking. C．Seldom using phones before bed. D．Lying in bed watching TV. 5．Which would be the best theme (主题) picture of the passage? A． B． C． D． （三） （2025·湖北武汉洪山·三模）Are you going through puberty (青春期)? You might have started puberty earlier than your parents did. Puberty begins when your body tells your brain to produce certain hormones (激素). During puberty, teenagers grow quickly. Studies show that puberty is happening earlier. Take girls in the US for example. They are getting their periods about six months earlier than they did a few decades ago, according to a study published in the Journal of the American Medical Association. The average age used to be 12.5 years old. But now it’s just under 12. Many things can cause early puberty. Obesity (肥胖) is one of the key reasons, according to Soumya Adhikari who works at Children’s Health in Dallas, US. Some chemicals in care products and food, as well as stress, may also be the reasons. _________ It can increase the risk of health problems like heart disease as well as shorter adult height. Mentally, teenagers who start puberty earlier might feel scared or angry. They might be treated differently because they look older or different, which can make them doubt themselves, said Aviva Sopher, a doctor at a children’s hospital in New York, US. “The problem often hits girls harder,” Ye Zihua from the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign in the US told German newspaper Die Welt. “This is because they pay more attention to their bodies, which can put greater social pressure on them to act in a more ‘adult’ way,” said Ye. According to National Public Radio¹, to prevent early puberty, teenagers should develop some good habits. 1.

C．Early puberty can help teenagers get confidence. D．Early puberty might cause some problems. 4．According to Ye Zihua, early puberty often hits girls harder because ________. A．girls pay less attention to their bodies. B．girls have weaker physical health. C．girls face more pressure from the public D．girls often doubt themselves. 5．What would the author write about after the last paragraph? A．The medical way to treat early puberty B．The habits teenagers need to pick up C．The future development of puberty. D．The history of early puberty. （四） （2025·湖北武汉江岸·一模）On February 5th, Hubei Province amazed the world with its “Chucai” robot family. Ten intelligent robots, including “Worker,” “Jingchu,” and “Tianwen,” showed off their skills. Some lifted weights, smiled and chatted with humans, others balanced perfectly when pushed, and one even stood up quickly after falling, just like a superhero! Developed by top teams from Huazhong University of Science and Technology, Wuhan University, and tech companies in “Optics Valley” (光谷), these robots are now becoming the new stars of the city. Looking back, robots played a big role in daily life. In 2025, robot volunteers showed up at the Wuhan Marathon. During cherry blossom season, a smart police robot named “Xiaoluo” helped manage the crowds. Coffee lovers met “Tianwen,” a robot coffee maker that served drinks smoothly without pouring a drop—how impressive! ★ Behind these creations are Wuhan’s tech heroes. Companies like Hubei Swit Drive produce tiny but powerful robot “joints” (关节) used globally. Engineers have also created a “robot brain” that allows machines to copy human movements perfectly, even dancing in step with each other! Another breakthrough is electronic “skin,” giving robots a human-like sense of touch. Wuhan is putting billions into the project to build a robot-friendly future. Over 300 tech companies have joined the project, attracting talented and fostering minds. With such efforts, who knows what these robots will achieve next? From sports events to public safety, Wuhan’s robots are not just machines—they’re partners shaping a smarter world. 1．How many robots’ names are mentioned in Paragraph 1.? A．Three. B．Four. C．Five.

A． B． C． D． （五） （2025·湖北武汉黄陂·模拟预测）Many cultures have stories of talking trees that give advice as well as warnings to people. Alexander the Great and Marco Polo were said to have visited such a tree in India. And in some modern stories, such as the film Avatar, trees can communicate with animals and people. With our long believing that talking plants are unreal, new research has found something amazing: It turns out that plants can really communicate. It has been known that plants use chemicals (化学物) to communicate with each other: This happens when a plant, say a bean plant, gets attacked (袭击) by insects. The plant gives off chemicals from the leaves that are being eaten. This is like a warning, or a call for help, “I’m being attacked!” When another bean plant feels the chemicals from its poor neighbor, it starts to give off its own, different chemicals. Some of these chemicals drive insects away. Others attract (吸引) insects—the wasps (黄蜂)! The wasps kill the insects that are eating the bean plant. Scientists hope to learn more about this plant warning system, so that we can use it to grow crops in a more scientific way. More surprisingly, plants also use sounds to communicate. People can’t hear these sounds, but plants are making them. Some plants make noises with their roots. Corn and chili plants do this. They also “listen” to the noises from other plants. A chili plant can tell if a neighboring plant is helpful, or unfriendly. Some trees make clicking noises when there is not enough water. Most surprisingly of all, plants have an amazing system of communication that can link nearly every plant in a forest. Scientists call this system “wood wide web”. It is in some ways like the Internet we use. This wood wide web is linked underground by fungi (真菌). Using this wood wide web,    ★   . However, it may lead to bad effects. Just like our Internet, this wood wide web has its own version of “cybercrime” (网络犯罪). Plants can steal food from each other, or spread something harmful to attack other plants. Scientists are learning more every day about the secret ways in which plants talk to each other. Who knows? … 1．Why does the writer mention “bean plant” and “wasps” in paragraph 2? A．To explain how plants develop new chemicals. B．To prove all plants can attract wasps. C．To give a specific example of chemical communication. D．To compare beans with other crops. 2．According to the passage, plants communicate with_______ . A．smells, chemicals and sounds B．chemicals, sounds and wood wide web C．feelings, chemicals and fungi D．chemicals, sounds and fungi 3．The underlined word “this” in paragraph 3 refers to______ . A．using sounds to warn others B．listening to the noises. C．making noises with roots D．making clicking noises. 4．Which of the following can be put in   ★   ? A．plants can share information and even food with each other. B．scientists can help stop the plants from attacking each other. C．plants can draw insects to attack other plants. D．scientists can build a system to link almost every plant in a forest. 5．What would the author write about after “Who knows?” in the last paragraph? A．Stories about scientists B．the importance of protecting plants C．The ways of studying  plant communication D．Human wish for “talking” with plants. （六） （2025·湖北武汉江岸·模拟预测）Have you heard the old tale say “Celestial (天上的) hours, earthly years”? Let me tell you a magical story about twins. Suppose Lucy becomes an astronaut and flies through space in a super fast rocket, while her twin sister Lily stays on Earth. When Lucy returns after her journey, something amazing happens-Lily might appear older, but Lucy still looks young! Einstein called this the“Twin Paradox” or Time Dilation (膨胀). Why? Because time slows down when you move super fast. Of course, time moves a little slower or faster depending on the speed or Earth’s gravity (引力). But the effects are too tiny to notice in our daily life. For example, if you drive very fast, like 100 km/h, time slows by 0.0000000001 seconds per hour. You’d never feel it! A pilot who flew for 40 years, ages 0.0005 seconds slower than someone on Earth. Still too small! Scientists tested the time dilation with two special and the same kind of atomic clocks (原子钟). They put one clock in a plane flying around the world and left the other on the ground. After the trip, the flying clock was a tiny bit behind—just a few microseconds (微秒)! Even though the difference is really tiny, this matters a lot for technology. Your phone’s GPS uses this secret! Satellites (卫星) high above Earth face two “time tricks”: They move super fast (14,000 km/h), making their clocks slow down by 7 microseconds daily. Being far from Earth’s gravity makes their clocks speed up by 45 microseconds daily. Engineers subtract (减去) these numbers and fix satellite clocks by 38 microseconds daily. Without this, GPS would guide you wrong by 10 km every day—you might drive into a lake instead of your school! So next time you use a map app, …Note: 1.双生子佯谬是一个有关爱因斯坦狭义相对论的思想实验，借指移动时钟的时间膨胀现象。 1．Why is the old tale mentioned at the beginning of the passage? A．To tell us different ways of seeing time. B．To explain the point about stars and space. C．To compare to new technology and time. D．To introduce the theme of the reading material. 2．What does“it”in paragraph 2 refer to? A．The time dilation. B．The Earth gravity. C．The space trip. D．Our daily life. 3．What is the writer’s attitude towards the tiny effect in paragraph 3? A．He is anxious about it. B．He takes it seriously. C．He is so crazy about it. D．He doesn’t care about it. 4．Which of the following takes advantage of Time Dilation? A． B． C． D． 5．So next time you use a map app, ________. A．avoid moving a little slower or faster depending on the speed B．keep testing the time with two special and the same kind of clocks C．remember to thank those hardworking satellites racing against time in space D．learn to subtract these numbers and fix satellite clocks by 38 microseconds daily （七） （2025·湖北武汉青山·三模）Many of us have had the same “pleasant surprise”. After you mark a song as a favorite on a music app, it suggests songs of the same kind to listen to. In fact, this seemingly magic, mind-reading power depends on data (数据). Data is no longer only about numbers, but information about almost every part of our lives: where we go, what we do, and our likes and dislikes. Together it is called Big Data. ________ The smart traffic system in Los Angeles is a good example. It collects real-time traffic data and controls 4,500 traffic lights in the system. If an accident happens, the system will change the lights near there to allow cars to pass quickly. Besides the advantage above, Big Data can also bring in money. UK’s Tesco encourages its customers to have Clubcards. According to the data collected through Clubcards, Tesco knows their shopping habits and then suggests products on its website. The related app on a mobile phone even guides customers around supermarkets to find what they want and makes suggestions for what they may like. However, Big Data shouldn’t be confused (混淆) with big ideas. Big Data requires you to have data first. That means the data is about what has happened in the past, not what you can imagine happening in the future. What if Albert Einstein lived today and not 100 years ago? What would Big Data say about the Theory of Relativity (相对论) ? No experiment data could support his idea at the time—that’s why we call it a breakthrough. Another example is school. Big Data can lead to school improvement. But great ideas can inspire teaching and learning in classrooms. That’s what matters. Though there are side effects, the benefits of Big Data are so big that there’s no going back. We just make the best use of it. 1．Which one is the best illustration (配图) to this passage? A． B． C． D． 2．Which of the following can be put in ________? A．Big Data can read your mind. B．Big Data is greatly surprising. C．Big Data can control your life. D．Big Data makes life more convenient. 3．Why does the writer mention the Theory of Relativity? A．To show that Albert Einstein was a great scientist. B．To introduce the disadvantages of using Big Data. C．To stress that big ideas are different from Big Data. D．To suggest that schools should depend on big ideas. 4．What can we learn about Big Data from the passage? A．It needs to be properly used. B．It is numbers about people. C．It tells us about the future. D．It has mind-reading power. 5．What does the passage mainly talk about? A．Why do we use Big Data? B．How do we collect Big Data? C．What can Big Data bring to us? D．Where can we find Big Data? （八） （2025·湖北武汉洪山·模拟预测）    In today’s online world, every year’s popular words stand for the spirit of their time. They are like the pulse of the times, beating with the unique feelings and voices of that period. The Chinese character “Jie” in 2024 is like a bright star, shining with a unique light, reflecting the thoughts, values and cultural interests of modern young people. It is more like the young’s recreation and explanation of the ancient meaning of making wishes in modern online culture. After all, making wishes is part of our traditional Chinese culture.     Some netizens said that when they were looking at others’ interview experiences before looking for a job, if someone sent a “Jie” bullet comment (弹幕), they would feel connected at once and not alone. For example, in one popular video about job hunting, over 500 “Jie” bullet comments created a warm yellow river on the screen. Although these characters couldn’t really make young people succeed in the interview, they were like a support in spirit that gave them hope.     ★. In March, 2024, the hashtag (主题标签) #JieGoodLucki# on Weibo reached 1. 2 billion views. Many college students sent private messages with “Jie success” to strangers when postgraduate (exam results came out, spreading warmth across the Internet.     From this we can see that this simple yet powerful character is not only a line on the screen, but also a reflection of how young people connect with the times, holding rich meanings: It can not only express best wishes but also show young people’s strong wills and active efforts to achieve a better future.     Of course, we should also realize clearly that while sending the “Jie” bullet comment. we need to work hard in a down-to-earth manner. On the road to achieving our dreams, only by turning good hope into actions and watering hope with our efforts can the good luck and dreams we “Jie” truly come true. 1．Which picture best shows the topic of the passage?

A．The history of “Jie” culture B．The details of bullet comments. C．The ways to turn “Jie” into actions D．The future of the word “Jie”. （九） （2025·湖北武汉东西湖·模拟预测）Most Chinese know the famous tale of Ne Zha. After his untimely death, the young hero has his body remade out of lotus root (莲藕). Today, the ancient story is brought back to life by a group of Chinese scientists. For a long time, bone repairs have been quite painful and expensive. Doctors used steel pieces as a scaffold to hold the patient’s bone together. Once the bone grows back, they would need to take out the scaffold. Now, there is less trouble for the doctors and the patients. Dr. Jiang Xueyu and her research team at Wuhan Polytechnic University has managed to make a scaffold out of the fiber (纤维) from lotus root. The new scaffold is believed to be safer and more affordable for patients. ★ The most important quality is its “friendliness”. Our immune system (免疫系统) reacts badly to what it thinks to be foreign. That’s why if you have a heart problem, you can't just use any heart you find. Unlike a “foreign” heart, the fiber won’t be easily noticed by our system as “foreign”. Besides, it can last for the right time. The lotus fiber can hold up for 180 days-strong enough for the bone to grow back. When the bone has fully recovered, it will break down and disappear. So patients won’t need to have it taken out. “We are not as magical as Tai Yi Zhen Ren so as to create life, but from the common lotus we managed to find power to help people.” Dr. Jiang said with a smile. The greatest technology can come from simple and imaginative ideas. Next time when you look into a bowl of delicious food or any daily things, a future scientific discovery probably lies within! 1．The research team used fiber from the lotus root to _______. A．help patients B．cook food C．remake Ne Zha D．spread culture 2．A scaffold is something that _______. A．causes a lot of pain B．holds heavy weights C．keeps things together D．costs patients less money 3．Which of the following can be put in ★ ? A．Lotus fiber has many medical advantages. B．Dr. Jiang overcame countless difficulties. C．The new scaffold is actually very expensive. D．Doctors use the creation to treat heart disease. 4．What does Dr. Jiang stress in paragraph 4? A．Researchers are not able to do magic. B．Creativity may make simple ideas valuable. C．Many technologies also come from traditions. D．Delicious food is important when creating life. 5．Which would be the best picture for the passage? A． B． C． D． （十） （2025·湖北武汉外国语学校·模拟预测）It’s getting hot. You have your hair cut. The barber Tony cuts off part of your hair and sweeps it away, but your hair’s journey is not over after the haircut. Have you ever thought of planting your old hair after it’s cut off? Some farmers do! What comes up? Not wigs (假发), but bigger and tastier crops. Hair is full of nitrogen (氮) that helps plants to grow. When cut hair is mixed into soil, the hair breaks down, slowly letting out nitrogen which can help flowers and vegetables get big a little faster. If you’ve got a wool sweater on, you’re wearing a sheep’s haircut. Sheep grow fine curly fur called wool. All those curls make air pockets that trap (使留存) heat, keeping the sheep warm. Farmers shear the sheep in summer, so the sheep don’t feel too hot. And we use the hair to make warm clothes, socks, and hats. Wool can even take in rain without feeling wet. What does your hair say about you? Even many years after it has been cut, hair can tell surprising secrets. Because hair is made from bits of old cells, it has trace (微量) of chemicals that were in the body when the hair grew. When people are kept in the situation of dangerous chemicals, these traces remain in the hair, even long after they have disappeared from the body itself. Testing hair can help doctors know if there are dangerous chemicals in the food and water. Hair can tell another important secret—whose hair is it? This can be used to help solve crimes. Hair does so many things for us. It keeps us warm and cool, helps farmers, shows mysteries, and provides endless styling fun. One thing is for sure, it’s not just for wigs any more. 1．Where can we read this passage? A．On a history book. B．On a fashion website. C．On a science magazine. D．On a sports newspaper. 2．How does hair help plants to grow? A．It provides nitrogen. B．It breaks down soil. C．It takes in rainwater. D．It lets out a smell. 3．What does the underlined part “shear the sheep” mean? A．Give enough food to the sheep. B．Wash the sheep many times. C．Fird living place for the sheep. D．Cut the wool off the sheep. 4．What’s the main idea of Paragraph 4? A．Hair helps keep warm. B．Hair testing is important. C．Hair can tell secrets. D．Hair helps solve crimes. 5．What might be the best title for the passage? A．Not for Wigs B．After the Haircut C．Hair for Fun D．The Styling of Hair / 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 专题05 阅读理解之说明文 考点01 中考真题分类汇编 （一） （2025·湖北武汉·中考真题）Do you know the five main senses we have? They are touch, taste, sight, smell and hearing. They are controlled by different parts of our brains. So we call the brain our built-in “BeiDou”. Brains help our bodies work smoothly. Try this: close your eyes and touch your nose. It’s easy, right? That’s because our brains can receive messages about where our body parts are. We can also stand on one leg without falling down. If we lose our balance, our brains will give us orders to fix it. ★ . Tests show that people see spider pictures faster than flowers. Some researchers also found that people react (作出反应) to loud noises faster than to a friend’s voice. Scientists aren’t completely sure about the reasons. Some suggest that this skill might come from ancient times. Our ancestors were often faced with predators. So they had to protect themselves from dangerous animals like spiders and tigers, or they would lose their lives. Until today, we still jump at sudden noises or shadows (影子) in dark rooms. Here is more about brains. Can you imagine seeing colors when you hear music, or tasting candy when you see the sunshine? It’s called sense mixing. Scientists think this happens when different senses intermingle (相互交织). Another fact is that temperature sometimes influences our senses. Some people can feel storms coming through knee pain. So we often joke that we’re “human weather apps”. Also, our brains are able to make adjustment (调整) to some senses. If someone can’t see well, his hearing or touch might become stronger. Though scientists have done much research on the brain, there’s still a lot to do. Have you ever wondered why some people are better at sports? What’s the secret to improving memory? Then it’s time for you to start your discovering journey. 1．What do the two examples in the first paragraph show? A．Brains help our bodies work well. B．Human brains are different. C．Humans can touch their noses easily. D．People have many living habits. 2．Which of the following can be put in ★ ? A．It’s fun to study our ancestors’ life B．It’s easy to learn about senses C．Animals help people in many ways D．Brains are also life-saving heroes 3．Which animal in the following pictures is probably a “predator”? A． B． C． D． 4．According to paragraph 3, what might happen if your senses mix? A．You can tie your shoes without looking. B．You taste sweetness when seeing an apple. C．You jump when someone shouts suddenly. D．You feel pain in your knees before the rain comes. 5．What is the writing purpose of the last paragraph? A．To improve people’s memory. B．To encourage brain studies. C．To show the value of our brains. D．To admire scientists’ efforts. 【答案】1．A 2．D 3．A 4．B 5．B 【解析】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了人类大脑的多种功能及其对感官的调控作用。 1．细节理解题。根据“Brains help our bodies work smoothly. Try this: close your eyes and touch your nose.

Meet Laura, a robot in the National Library in Madrid, Spain, copying out the old books and writings in its collection. See Aurora, a headless dog-sized robot used to keep birds and other animals away at an Alaskan airport. Watch another 1.8 meter-tall legless robot called EveR6, waving its arms to guide musicians through a performance. Those robots above require artificial intelligence (AI) (人工智能). AI is a computer system (系统) that can understand languages, make decisions and solve problems. AI can be taught skills using a process called machine learning. Humans give AI information such as books, photos or videos to train it. The more information it studies, the better it can do its job. ________. For example, when you watch TV, AI is watching you. It’ll know what your favorite is and suggest similar ones. In hospitals, AI is very good at suggesting treatments and can even invent new medicines. To cut down food waste, some schools introduce online systems for the students to choose meals ahead of time. In cities, AI is used to watch out for cars that make black smoke. It works together with the police and transportation teams to stop them and keep the air clean. AI can help us fight climate (气候) change by finding clever ways to reduce energy use. Some people worry that AI will take away a large number of jobs and also fear that AI could develop out of our control and bring danger to humans. However, AI is expected to be a more powerful production tool that will help humans achieve more in less time. It is believed that the flying car will be made to offer an easier way out of the morning traffic jam (交通堵塞). Humans imagine AI might even find a way to solve the problems of our energy needs completely. Anyway, there is still a long journey for humans and AI. 1．In which pictures can we see Aurora and EveR1?

He used this picture in mind to help him when working out the “theory of relativity(相对论)”. “Imagination is more important than knowledge,” said Einstein. Daydreaming, called “thought experiments” by Einstein, can make you have wild imaginings, like flying around in space. It lets your mind walk slowly around ideas, memories and experiences that aren’t happening right now. It means thinking ahead to a holiday or remembering how much you enjoyed a birthday party. According to China’s health authorities(权威机构), daydreaming for a while each day can improve your health and creativity. Disappearing into a daydream lets your mind escape when things are difficult. It helps you deal with worries and fears. For example, imagining how you’re going to speak up in class is like practicing the scene in your head, which can make you feel calmer. Daydreaming also inspires creativity and lets you find new worlds where there are no limits (限制) to what you can do or who you are. Guo Qiang, an expert in thoughts and feelings, thinks we should all make time to daydream. “Thinking for pleasure can be a powerful tool to shape our feelings,” he said. However, try not to let your mind be absent when you need to focus (聚焦) in class or cross the road. Instead, find a time when you don’t have to focus on anything, like going for a walk or brushing your teeth. Guo suggests you can start by focusing on a happy memory or imagining a future success, like scoring a goal in the World Cup. To encourage creativity, think about interesting ideas and see where your mind takes you. Research shows that people often come up with more solutions to problems after they’ve taken a break. So next time you’re stuck with homework, stop for a moment and see where your daydreams take you. 1．Which writing skill is used in paragraph 1? A．Giving an example. B．Raising a question. C．Listing numbers. D．Comparing facts. 2．Daydreaming can make people _________. A．fly around B．walk slowly C．think freely D．be absent-minded 3．Guo Qiang first suggests _________. A．escaping from the hard time B．looking for new worlds C．finding time to imagine D．focusing on success 4．What is mentioned in paragraph 4? A．The steps to daydream. B．The things to daydream of. C．The reasons for daydreaming. D．The meanings of daydreaming. 5．Daydreaming is talked about _________. A．to remind people to have a mind break B．to suggest living at the moment C．to find solutions to homework problems D．to show a science research result 【答案】1．A 2．C 3．C 4．B 5．A 【解析】本文主要介绍了白日梦的好处，并提醒人们要让大脑休息一下。 1．推理判断题。根据“When the famous scientist Albert Einstein was 16 years old...”可知开头通过爱因斯坦的例子引出了本文的话题。故选A。 2．细节理解题。根据“can make you have wild imaginings, like flying around in space”可知白日梦可以让你产生天马行空的想象，自由地思考。故选C。 3．细节理解题。根据“thinks we should all make time to daydream”可知他建议要找点时间去做白日梦。故选C。 4．细节理解题。根据“Guo suggests you can start by focusing on a happy memory or imagining a future success, like scoring a goal in the World Cup”可知此处提到了可以白日做梦的事情。故选B。 5．主旨大意题。通读全文可知，本文主要介绍了白日梦的好处，并提醒人们要让大脑休息一下。故选A。 （四） （2023·湖北武汉·中考真题）Bert won a national prize called Young Heroes for his “green” project. This public-spirited young person was now a university student. His love for insects grew deeper and he was protecting them for the future. _________. When he was around 4 or 5, he always loved to watch different insects, especially beautiful swallowtails(凤蝶). One interesting fact he learned about swallowtails was that their bright colors warned hungry animals that they tasted bad. And it was also fun to watch how they came into being. But the reason he really fell in love with them was that they were very accessible. For example, if you wanted to attract (吸引) swallowtails, you planted some zinnias, a kind of bright flowers. Bert started a zinnia garden at his house, where he raised a large number of swallowtails over the years. With the world’s swallowtail population falling, Bert wanted people to realize that if insects like swallowtails disappeared, so would all the others above them on the food chain. To make the fact clear and easy to understand for other students, he also created a zinnia garden at his junior high school. Part of the joy for Bert was watching the younger students get excited when running after swallowtails. “Whenever a swallowtail lands on them, the young students will soon fall in love with these cute insects. They develop a new appreciation for them,” he said. Bert put his efforts into the environmental educational project and made it take flight. 1．After Bert was honored with Young Heroes, _________. A．he often gave speeches in public B．he set up his “green” project C．he became interested in swallowtails D．he went on protecting insects 2．Which of the following can be put in _________?

Maybe you wrote a message but paused (停顿) before sending it, or chose clothes but kept changing your mind. In a world that values quick actions, hesitation (犹豫) is often seen as a weakness. But what if it is actually a wise guide? Our minds and bodies work together. When we hesitate, it might be a sign that we need to pay attention to something important. Imagine standing in front of a door but not wanting to open it. Your body could be telling you about possible dangers your mind hasn’t fully noticed. This hesitation isn’t always fear — it might mean we need more time or information to make a better choice. Hesitation can also come from our intuition (直觉). It helps us know what is truly right. For example, if you feel nervous about joining a competition even when you are fully prepared, ask yourself: Is this fear from past failures, or is your intuition warning you about real danger? ______. Pretend you have already chosen to join and notice how your body reacts (反应)— Does it feel light and calm, or heavy and worried? Here’s how to use hesitation wisely: First, slow down. If a decision feels too big, sleep on it and think again the next day. Second, talk to friends you trust or write down your thoughts. Their advice or your own words might show hidden worries or new ideas. Third, remember that hesitation is not failure. It is a tool to collect missing parts of the story before taking action. In the end, hesitation teaches us to listen — not just to our thoughts, but to our whole self. Next time you pause, ask: What is my body or intuition trying to say? The answer might help you make wiser choices. 1．Why might we hesitate before entering a room according to the passage? A．Because the body senses possible uneasiness. B．Because the door is too heavy to open. C．Because we want to get in quickly. D．Because we need others to help us. 2．Which of the following can be put in ________? A．To calm down, listen to music. B．To find out, try this simple test. C．If you don’t think so, just do it. D．If you don’t know, ask a friend. 3．What does “sleep on it” mean in Paragraph 4? A．Change decisions. B．Make quick choices. C．Reconsider after rest. D．Forget the problem. 4．What does the author think of “hesitation”? A．It leads to failure. B．It is a tool for better decisions. C．It shows personal weakness. D．It wastes valuable time. 5．Which would be the best theme picture of the passage? A． B． C． D． 【答案】1．A 2．B 3．C 4．B 5．B 【解析】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要探讨了犹豫这一行为，指出在快节奏的社会中，犹豫常被视为弱点，但实际上它可能是智慧的指引。 1．细节理解题。根据“When we hesitate, it might be a sign that we need to pay attention to something important. Imagine standing in front of a door but not wanting to open it. Your body could be telling you about possible dangers your mind hasn’t fully noticed.”可知，我们在进入房间前犹豫可能是因为身体感觉到了可能的不安。故选A。 2．推理判断题。根据“if you feel nervous about joining a competition even when you are fully prepared, ask yourself: Is this fear from past failures, or is your intuition warning you about real danger?”和“Pretend you have already chosen to join and notice how your body reacts (反应)— Does it feel light and calm, or heavy and worried?”可知，此处是建议通过一个简单的测试来找出答案。选项B“为了找出答案，试试这个简单的测试。”符合语境。故选B。 3．词句猜测题。根据“If a decision feels too big, sleep on it and think again the next day.”可知，如果一个决定感觉太大，那么可以“sleep on it”，第二天再重新考虑。由此可以推断，“sleep on it”的意思是“休息后再重新考虑”。故选C。 4．观点态度题。根据“It is a tool to collect missing parts of the story before taking action.”可知，作者认为犹豫是做出更好决定的工具。故选B。 5．主旨大意题。文章主要探讨了犹豫的积极作用，并提供了如何明智地利用犹豫的建议。B项体现“犹豫”的主题，故选B。 （二） （2025·湖北武汉新洲·二模）Have you found it hard to get out of bed for school on Monday mornings? Nowadays, many students have had this experience, so not getting enough sleep among teenagers has come into focus. Between homework, after-school activities and temptation (诱惑) to use electronic devices, many teenagers suffer from not getting enough sleep. In China, about 50% of young people born after 2000 go to bed before midnight. In the US, 77.3 percent of high school students do not get enough sleep. Thus it’s no wonder many students feel sleepy during the day. In fact, quality sleep is important for everyone, especially for teenagers. They need nine to 10 hours of sleep each day—more than adults. This is because deep mental, physical, social and emotional development happens in one’s teens. For students, sleep plays a key role in school performance. It helps with learning by improving attention, memory and thinking skills. ★ . A study in the late 20th century compared creative performance between people who didn’t get enough sleep and those who slept normally. The first group scored lower on the tests of creative thinking. They repeated the same mistakes and could not think up new ideas. More recently, in 2023, a research team discovered that “sleep onset”, a special stage of sleep, is good for creativity. This stage happens when we are between being awake and asleep. When people are encouraged to dream about a certain topic during sleep onset, they perform more creatively than at any other time. How important it is for students to get enough sleep! A new report shows that 54.7% of people who often eat late at night and 65.4% of people who are used to smoking have trouble sleeping. What’s more, 85.5% of people who seldom use their phones before bed sleep well, compared to 73.9% of those who use them often. So keep good habits! 1．What’s the main idea of paragraph 2? A．What students do after school. B．How many students don’t get enough sleep. C．How students get enough sleep. D．Why students’ sleep problems come into focus. 2．Which of the following can be put in ★ ? A．School performance is very important B．And sleep also supports teens’ creativity C．All these skills can be got through practice D．An example shows how to improve attention 3．When does “sleep onset” happen? A．When people are dreaming. B．From waking up to getting up. C．When people are in deep sleep. D．Between being awake and asleep. 4．What’s the good habit for quality sleep? A．Often eating late at night. B．Being used to smoking. C．Seldom using phones before bed. D．Lying in bed watching TV. 5．Which would be the best theme (主题) picture of the passage?

You might have started puberty earlier than your parents did. Puberty begins when your body tells your brain to produce certain hormones (激素). During puberty, teenagers grow quickly. Studies show that puberty is happening earlier. Take girls in the US for example. They are getting their periods about six months earlier than they did a few decades ago, according to a study published in the Journal of the American Medical Association. The average age used to be 12.5 years old. But now it’s just under 12. Many things can cause early puberty. Obesity (肥胖) is one of the key reasons, according to Soumya Adhikari who works at Children’s Health in Dallas, US. Some chemicals in care products and food, as well as stress, may also be the reasons. _________ It can increase the risk of health problems like heart disease as well as shorter adult height. Mentally, teenagers who start puberty earlier might feel scared or angry. They might be treated differently because they look older or different, which can make them doubt themselves, said Aviva Sopher, a doctor at a children’s hospital in New York, US. “The problem often hits girls harder,” Ye Zihua from the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign in the US told German newspaper Die Welt. “This is because they pay more attention to their bodies, which can put greater social pressure on them to act in a more ‘adult’ way,” said Ye. According to National Public Radio¹, to prevent early puberty, teenagers should develop some good habits. 1. National Public Radio:美国国家公共广播电台 (简称NPR). 是美国最大的公共广播电台。 1．What BIG question does paragraph 3 answer? A．How does early puberty influence teenagers? B．What do studies find about puberty? C．Why does puberty happen earlier? D．What is early puberty? 2．Which picture shows the main reason for early puberty according to the passage?

C．Early puberty can help teenagers get confidence. D．Early puberty might cause some problems. 4．According to Ye Zihua, early puberty often hits girls harder because ________. A．girls pay less attention to their bodies. B．girls have weaker physical health. C．girls face more pressure from the public D．girls often doubt themselves. 5．What would the author write about after the last paragraph? A．The medical way to treat early puberty B．The habits teenagers need to pick up C．The future development of puberty. D．The history of early puberty. 【答案】1．B 2．A 3．D 4．C 5．B 【解析】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了青春期提前的现象及其原因、影响以及应对措施。文章通过研究数据和专家观点，探讨了青春期提前对青少年的身心健康的影响，并提出了预防建议。 1．推理判断题。根据文章第三段“Studies show that puberty is happening earlier.

Alexander the Great and Marco Polo were said to have visited such a tree in India. And in some modern stories, such as the film Avatar, trees can communicate with animals and people. With our long believing that talking plants are unreal, new research has found something amazing: It turns out that plants can really communicate. It has been known that plants use chemicals (化学物) to communicate with each other: This happens when a plant, say a bean plant, gets attacked (袭击) by insects. The plant gives off chemicals from the leaves that are being eaten. This is like a warning, or a call for help, “I’m being attacked!” When another bean plant feels the chemicals from its poor neighbor, it starts to give off its own, different chemicals. Some of these chemicals drive insects away. Others attract (吸引) insects—the wasps (黄蜂)! The wasps kill the insects that are eating the bean plant. Scientists hope to learn more about this plant warning system, so that we can use it to grow crops in a more scientific way. More surprisingly, plants also use sounds to communicate. People can’t hear these sounds, but plants are making them. Some plants make noises with their roots. Corn and chili plants do this. They also “listen” to the noises from other plants. A chili plant can tell if a neighboring plant is helpful, or unfriendly. Some trees make clicking noises when there is not enough water. Most surprisingly of all, plants have an amazing system of communication that can link nearly every plant in a forest. Scientists call this system “wood wide web”. It is in some ways like the Internet we use. This wood wide web is linked underground by fungi (真菌). Using this wood wide web,    ★   . However, it may lead to bad effects. Just like our Internet, this wood wide web has its own version of “cybercrime” (网络犯罪). Plants can steal food from each other, or spread something harmful to attack other plants. Scientists are learning more every day about the secret ways in which plants talk to each other. Who knows? … 1．Why does the writer mention “bean plant” and “wasps” in paragraph 2? A．To explain how plants develop new chemicals. B．To prove all plants can attract wasps. C．To give a specific example of chemical communication. D．To compare beans with other crops. 2．According to the passage, plants communicate with_______ . A．smells, chemicals and sounds B．chemicals, sounds and wood wide web C．feelings, chemicals and fungi D．chemicals, sounds and fungi 3．The underlined word “this” in paragraph 3 refers to______ . A．using sounds to warn others B．listening to the noises. C．making noises with roots D．making clicking noises. 4．Which of the following can be put in   ★   ? A．plants can share information and even food with each other. B．scientists can help stop the plants from attacking each other. C．plants can draw insects to attack other plants. D．scientists can build a system to link almost every plant in a forest. 5．What would the author write about after “Who knows?” in the last paragraph? A．Stories about scientists B．the importance of protecting plants C．The ways of studying  plant communication D．Human wish for “talking” with plants. 【答案】1．C 2．B 3．C 4．A 5．D 【解析】本文是一篇说明文。主要讲述了植物之间是如何进行沟通和交流的。 1．细节理解题。根据“It has been known that plants use chemicals to communicate with each other: This happens when a plant, say a bean plant... The wasps kill the insects that are eating the bean plant.”可知，作者提及“菜豆植物”和“黄蜂”是为了具体说明植物如何通过化学物质进行交流。故选C。 2． 细节理解题。根据“plants use chemicals to communicate with each other”、“plants also use sounds to communicate”及“plants have an amazing system of communication that can link nearly every plant in a forest. Scientists call this system ‘wood wide web’”可知，植物通过化学物质、声音和“树木万维网”进行交流。故选B。 3．词义猜测题。根据“Some plants make noises with their roots. Corn and chili plants do this.”可知，一些植物用根部发出声音，玉米和辣椒可以这样做，所以this指代“making noises with roots”。故选C。 4．推理判断题。根据“It is in some ways like the Internet we use... Plants can steal food from each other, or spread something harmful to attack other plants.”可推知，“树木万维网”能让植物相互分享信息甚至食物，同时也可能引发不良影响。选项A符合上下文逻辑。故选A。 5．推理判断题。根据最后一段“Scientists are learning more every day about the secret ways in which plants talk to each other. Who knows?…”可推知，作者在疑问句后可能会探讨人类对与植物“对话”的期待或想象。故选D。 （六） （2025·湖北武汉江岸·模拟预测）Have you heard the old tale say “Celestial (天上的) hours, earthly years”? Let me tell you a magical story about twins. Suppose Lucy becomes an astronaut and flies through space in a super fast rocket, while her twin sister Lily stays on Earth. When Lucy returns after her journey, something amazing happens-Lily might appear older, but Lucy still looks young! Einstein called this the“Twin Paradox” or Time Dilation (膨胀). Why? Because time slows down when you move super fast. Of course, time moves a little slower or faster depending on the speed or Earth’s gravity (引力). But the effects are too tiny to notice in our daily life. For example, if you drive very fast, like 100 km/h, time slows by 0.0000000001 seconds per hour. You’d never feel it! A pilot who flew for 40 years, ages 0.0005 seconds slower than someone on Earth. Still too small! Scientists tested the time dilation with two special and the same kind of atomic clocks (原子钟). They put one clock in a plane flying around the world and left the other on the ground. After the trip, the flying clock was a tiny bit behind—just a few microseconds (微秒)! Even though the difference is really tiny, this matters a lot for technology. Your phone’s GPS uses this secret! Satellites (卫星) high above Earth face two “time tricks”: They move super fast (14,000 km/h), making their clocks slow down by 7 microseconds daily. Being far from Earth’s gravity makes their clocks speed up by 45 microseconds daily. Engineers subtract (减去) these numbers and fix satellite clocks by 38 microseconds daily. Without this, GPS would guide you wrong by 10 km every day—you might drive into a lake instead of your school! So next time you use a map app, …Note: 1.双生子佯谬是一个有关爱因斯坦狭义相对论的思想实验，借指移动时钟的时间膨胀现象。 1．Why is the old tale mentioned at the beginning of the passage? A．To tell us different ways of seeing time. B．To explain the point about stars and space. C．To compare to new technology and time. D．To introduce the theme of the reading material. 2．What does“it”in paragraph 2 refer to? A．The time dilation. B．The Earth gravity. C．The space trip. D．Our daily life. 3．What is the writer’s attitude towards the tiny effect in paragraph 3? A．He is anxious about it. B．He takes it seriously. C．He is so crazy about it. D．He doesn’t care about it. 4．Which of the following takes advantage of Time Dilation? A． B． C． D． 5．So next time you use a map app, ________. A．avoid moving a little slower or faster depending on the speed B．keep testing the time with two special and the same kind of clocks C．remember to thank those hardworking satellites racing against time in space D．learn to subtract these numbers and fix satellite clocks by 38 microseconds daily 【答案】1．D 2．A 3．B 4．D 5．C 【解析】本文是说明文，介绍时间膨胀现象及在GPS等技术中的应用。 1．推理判断题。根据文章第一段“Einstein called this the“Twin Paradox” or Time Dilation (膨胀). Why? Because time slows down when you move super fast.”可知，文章开篇讲双胞胎的故事，是为了引出“双生子佯谬”，进而引入时间膨胀这一主题。故选D。 2．词句猜测题。根据文章第二段“Of course, time moves a little slower or faster depending on the speed or Earth’s gravity (引力). But the effects are too tiny to notice in our daily life. For example, if you drive very fast, like 100 km/h, time slows by 0.0000000001 seconds per hour. You’d never feel it!”可知，前文围绕时间膨胀展开，说速度、地球引力会影响时间快慢，日常中影响小到难以察觉，“you’d never feel it”里的“it”指时间膨胀。故选A。 3．观点态度题。根据文章第三段“Even though the difference is really tiny, this matters a lot for technology.”可知，第三段提到即便飞机上原子钟和地面原子钟的时间差极小，但对技术很重要，体现作者重视这种微小影响。故选B。 4．细节理解题。根据文章第四段“Your phone’s GPS uses this secret! Satellites (卫星) high above Earth face two ‘time tricks’: They move super fast (14,000 km/h), making their clocks slow down by 7 microseconds daily.”可知，文中提到手机GPS利用时间膨胀，卫星受速度和地球引力影响时间，工程师修正卫星时钟。所以和卫星相关的选项利用了时间膨胀。故选D。 5．推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“Engineers subtract (减去) these numbers and fix satellite clocks by 38 microseconds daily. Without this, GPS would guide you wrong by 10 km every day-you might drive into a lake instead of your school!”可知，卫星因时间膨胀影响，工程师修正时钟，GPS才能正常工作，所以用地图应用时，要感谢在太空对抗时间的卫星。故选C。 （七） （2025·湖北武汉青山·三模）Many of us have had the same “pleasant surprise”. After you mark a song as a favorite on a music app, it suggests songs of the same kind to listen to. In fact, this seemingly magic, mind-reading power depends on data (数据). Data is no longer only about numbers, but information about almost every part of our lives: where we go, what we do, and our likes and dislikes. Together it is called Big Data. ________ The smart traffic system in Los Angeles is a good example. It collects real-time traffic data and controls 4,500 traffic lights in the system. If an accident happens, the system will change the lights near there to allow cars to pass quickly. Besides the advantage above, Big Data can also bring in money. UK’s Tesco encourages its customers to have Clubcards. According to the data collected through Clubcards, Tesco knows their shopping habits and then suggests products on its website. The related app on a mobile phone even guides customers around supermarkets to find what they want and makes suggestions for what they may like. However, Big Data shouldn’t be confused (混淆) with big ideas. Big Data requires you to have data first. That means the data is about what has happened in the past, not what you can imagine happening in the future. What if Albert Einstein lived today and not 100 years ago? What would Big Data say about the Theory of Relativity (相对论) ? No experiment data could support his idea at the time—that’s why we call it a breakthrough. Another example is school. Big Data can lead to school improvement. But great ideas can inspire teaching and learning in classrooms. That’s what matters. Though there are side effects, the benefits of Big Data are so big that there’s no going back. We just make the best use of it. 1．Which one is the best illustration (配图) to this passage? A． B． C． D． 2．Which of the following can be put in ________? A．Big Data can read your mind. B．Big Data is greatly surprising. C．Big Data can control your life. D．Big Data makes life more convenient. 3．Why does the writer mention the Theory of Relativity? A．To show that Albert Einstein was a great scientist. B．To introduce the disadvantages of using Big Data. C．To stress that big ideas are different from Big Data. D．To suggest that schools should depend on big ideas. 4．What can we learn about Big Data from the passage? A．It needs to be properly used. B．It is numbers about people. C．It tells us about the future. D．It has mind-reading power. 5．What does the passage mainly talk about? A．Why do we use Big Data? B．How do we collect Big Data? C．What can Big Data bring to us? D．Where can we find Big Data? 【答案】1．B 2．D 3．C 4．A 5．C 【解析】本文主要介绍大数据通过分析用户行为数据改变生活，带来便利与商业价值，但需正确使用。 1．推理判断题。通读全文内容可知，本文主要介绍大数据通过分析用户行为数据改变生活，带来便利与商业价值，但需正确使用。故选项B符合题意。故选B。 2．词句猜测题。根据“The smart traffic system in Los Angeles is a good example.

After his untimely death, the young hero has his body remade out of lotus root (莲藕). Today, the ancient story is brought back to life by a group of Chinese scientists. For a long time, bone repairs have been quite painful and expensive. Doctors used steel pieces as a scaffold to hold the patient’s bone together. Once the bone grows back, they would need to take out the scaffold. Now, there is less trouble for the doctors and the patients. Dr. Jiang Xueyu and her research team at Wuhan Polytechnic University has managed to make a scaffold out of the fiber (纤维) from lotus root. The new scaffold is believed to be safer and more affordable for patients. ★ The most important quality is its “friendliness”. Our immune system (免疫系统) reacts badly to what it thinks to be foreign. That’s why if you have a heart problem, you can't just use any heart you find. Unlike a “foreign” heart, the fiber won’t be easily noticed by our system as “foreign”. Besides, it can last for the right time. The lotus fiber can hold up for 180 days-strong enough for the bone to grow back. When the bone has fully recovered, it will break down and disappear. So patients won’t need to have it taken out. “We are not as magical as Tai Yi Zhen Ren so as to create life, but from the common lotus we managed to find power to help people.” Dr. Jiang said with a smile. The greatest technology can come from simple and imaginative ideas. Next time when you look into a bowl of delicious food or any daily things, a future scientific discovery probably lies within! 1．The research team used fiber from the lotus root to _______. A．help patients B．cook food C．remake Ne Zha D．spread culture 2．A scaffold is something that _______. A．causes a lot of pain B．holds heavy weights C．keeps things together D．costs patients less money 3．Which of the following can be put in ★ ? A．Lotus fiber has many medical advantages. B．Dr. Jiang overcame countless difficulties. C．The new scaffold is actually very expensive. D．Doctors use the creation to treat heart disease. 4．What does Dr. Jiang stress in paragraph 4? A．Researchers are not able to do magic. B．Creativity may make simple ideas valuable. C．Many technologies also come from traditions. D．Delicious food is important when creating life. 5．Which would be the best picture for the passage? A． B． C． D． 【答案】1．A 2．C 3．A 4．B 5．D 【解析】本文讲述了中国科学家从哪吒“莲藕重塑身体”的古老传说中获得灵感，利用莲藕纤维研发出新型骨修复支架的故事。这种支架相比传统钢支架更安全、经济，且能被人体吸收，无需二次手术，展现了传统智慧与现代科技的结合。 1．细节理解题。根据第二段“Dr. Jiang Xueyu... has managed to make a scaffold out of the fiber from lotus root.

You have your hair cut. The barber Tony cuts off part of your hair and sweeps it away, but your hair’s journey is not over after the haircut. Have you ever thought of planting your old hair after it’s cut off? Some farmers do! What comes up? Not wigs (假发), but bigger and tastier crops. Hair is full of nitrogen (氮) that helps plants to grow. When cut hair is mixed into soil, the hair breaks down, slowly letting out nitrogen which can help flowers and vegetables get big a little faster. If you’ve got a wool sweater on, you’re wearing a sheep’s haircut. Sheep grow fine curly fur called wool. All those curls make air pockets that trap (使留存) heat, keeping the sheep warm. Farmers shear the sheep in summer, so the sheep don’t feel too hot. And we use the hair to make warm clothes, socks, and hats. Wool can even take in rain without feeling wet. What does your hair say about you? Even many years after it has been cut, hair can tell surprising secrets. Because hair is made from bits of old cells, it has trace (微量) of chemicals that were in the body when the hair grew. When people are kept in the situation of dangerous chemicals, these traces remain in the hair, even long after they have disappeared from the body itself. Testing hair can help doctors know if there are dangerous chemicals in the food and water. Hair can tell another important secret—whose hair is it? This can be used to help solve crimes. Hair does so many things for us. It keeps us warm and cool, helps farmers, shows mysteries, and provides endless styling fun. One thing is for sure, it’s not just for wigs any more. 1．Where can we read this passage? A．On a history book. B．On a fashion website. C．On a science magazine. D．On a sports newspaper. 2．How does hair help plants to grow? A．It provides nitrogen. B．It breaks down soil. C．It takes in rainwater. D．It lets out a smell. 3．What does the underlined part “shear the sheep” mean? A．Give enough food to the sheep. B．Wash the sheep many times. C．Fird living place for the sheep. D．Cut the wool off the sheep. 4．What’s the main idea of Paragraph 4? A．Hair helps keep warm. B．Hair testing is important. C．Hair can tell secrets. D．Hair helps solve crimes. 5．What might be the best title for the passage? A．Not for Wigs B．After the Haircut C．Hair for Fun D．The Styling of Hair 【答案】1．C 2．A 3．D 4．C 5．B 【解析】本文介绍了头发在剪短后的多种用途，如帮助植物生长、用于制作衣物，还能揭示秘密等。 1．推理判断题。根据文章内容，讲述了头发在农业、保暖、检测化学成分等多方面的科学知识。可知这篇文章最可能出现在科学杂志上。故选C。 2．细节理解题。根据“Hair is full of nitrogen (氮) that helps plants to grow. When cut hair is mixed into soil, the hair breaks down, slowly letting out nitrogen which can help flowers and vegetables get big a little faster.”可知，头发富含氮，能为植物生长提供氮元素。故选A。 3．词句猜测题。根据“Sheep grow fine curly fur called wool. All those curls make air pockets that trap (使留存) heat, keeping the sheep warm. Farmers shear the sheep in summer, so the sheep don’t feel too hot.”可知，夏天农民对羊做的事是为了让羊不觉得太热，结合前文羊身上长羊毛，可推测是剪掉羊毛。故选D。 4．主旨大意题。根据“Even many years after it has been cut, hair can tell surprising secrets.”以及后文阐述头发能检测化学成分、帮助破案等可知，该段主要说头发能揭示秘密。故选C。 5．最佳标题题。文章围绕头发剪短后在不同方面的用途展开，“剪发之后”能很好概括文章内容。故选B。 / 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
