The Sun shines all the time.It shines during the day when we see it，and even at night when we don't. As the Earth turns，sometimes we face the Sun.That's when we get day.When the Earth's spin（自转） turns us away from the Sun and we are in the Earth's shadow，we get night.When people on the opposite side of the Earth face the Sun，those people have day while we have night. The Moon is a different story.Unlike the Sun，it doesn't make its own light.Moonlight is actually the Sun's light reflecting（反射） the Moon back to us. The Sun lights up only the side of the Moon that faces the Sun.At Full Moon，the Moon is on the opposite side of the Earth from the Sun.Then the side of the Moon facing the Earth is all lit up.During Full Moon，the Moon rises around sunset，shines all night，and sets around sunrise.Since the moonlight is so bright，you can sometimes see it during the day，too.A few days before Full Moon，if you look east in the afternoon，you may see the Moon in the sky.After Full Moon，you may find it if you look west in the morning. The Moon is most difficult to see at New Moon，when its orbit（轨道） puts it between the Earth and the Sun.Then，the side of the Moon facing the Earth is dark and we can't see the Moon at all. 1、What can we know about the Sun？ 　 　 A.The Sun rules the Moon. B.The Sun shines during both day and night. C.The Sun lights up all the sides of the Moon.

Why not use forks and knives？In our mind，forks and knives are made of metal （金属）.They are more similar to weapons.How could dangerous weapons be used on the eating tables？And can you imagine how terrible it is to use forks and knives while we are taking food out of the hot pot？Then chopsticks perfectly solve this problem. What's more，we believe in the idea of being simple.With the two sticks，we can do many things.Also，chopsticks contain（包含） the principle（理念） of "Yin and Yang".Besides，if you take a close look at the chopsticks，you will find the chopsticks are round on one side and square on the other side.So the round side means the sky and the square side means the earth.And when we hold chopsticks，our fingers are between the two sticks.That's our understanding of the relationship between man and the world. 1、Why does the writer ask questions at the beginning of the text？ 　 　 A.To introduce the topic of the text. B.To show the importance of chopsticks. C.To describe the influence of chopsticks. D.To predict the future of chopsticks. 2、Which question's answer can't be found in Paragraph 2？ 　 　 A.When were chopsticks invented？ B.Why are we still using chopsticks？ C.What are chopsticks made of？ D.What were chopsticks first used for？ 3、Which of the following may be a kind of "weapons"？ 　 　 A.Fire.

B.Chopsticks are the perfect eating tools. C.Chopsticks contain much Chinese culture. D.The two sides of the chopsticks mean the earth and the sky. 5、Which is the right structure of the passage？（①Paragraph 1 ②Paragraph 2， …） 　 　 . A. B. C. D. 【答案】1.A 2.B 3.D 4.C 5.B 【解析】本文主要讲述了筷子的来源，以及中国人仍然在使用筷子的原因。 1、推理判断题。根据第1段"Have you ever had a question in your mind about why we Chinese people use chopsticks？And till now？Or any other tools？"（你有没有想过为什么我们中国人要用筷子？直到现在？或者其他工具吗？）可知作者通过这两个问题引出文章的话题﹣ 筷子。故选A。 2、细节理解题。根据第2段"They were first invented and used by the Chinese during the Zhou Dynasty."（它们最初是由中国人在周朝发明和使用的。）可知筷子最早是由中国人在周朝发明和使用的，根据"They are usually made of bamboo or wood.But at first，chopsticks are not used as eating tools.They were probably used for cooking such as stirring（搅拌） the fire."（它们通常是用竹子或木头做的。但一开始，筷子不被用作吃饭的工具。它们可能是用来做饭的，比如搅拌火。）可知它们通常由竹子或木头制成。但起初，筷子并不是用来吃饭的工具它们可能是用来做饭的。故第二段没有回答"为什么我们仍然在使用筷子"这个问题。故选B。 3、词义猜测题，根据第3段"In our mind，forks and knives are made of metal （金属）.They are more similar to weapons.How could dangerous weapons be used on the eating tables？"（在我们的印象中，刀叉是金属的，它们更像武器。餐桌上怎么能使用危险的武器呢？）可知刀又更类似于武器，在餐桌上不能使用危险的武器，可推知"枪"属于武器。故选D。 4、段落大意题。根据第段Also，chopsticks contain（包含） the principle（理念） of "Yin and Yang".（此外，筷子包含"阴阳"的原则。）可知最后一段主要告诉我们筷子包括很多中国文化。故选C。 5、篇章结构题。根据第1段"Have you ever had a question in your mind about why we Chinese people use chopsticks？And till now？Or any other tools？"（你有没有想过为什么我们中国人要用筷子？直到现在？或者其他工具吗？）可知作者通过这两个问题引出文章的话题﹣ 筷子。第2、3、4段介绍理由，所以是总﹣分结构。故选B。 / 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 专题04 阅读理解 说明文 主题01 人与社会——科学与技术 Passage 1 （24-25九上·湖北省黄石·期中）In the competitive smartphone market，Huawei has attracted a lot of attention with its latest tri﹣fold （三折叠）.smartphone，the Huawei Mate X.This innovative device sands out against other foreign brand smart phones offering unique advantages while also facing certain disadvantages.

Passage 2 （24-25九上·湖北省荆楚联盟·期中）OpenAI introduced ChatGPT to the world.It is the latest kind of AI chatbots （聊天机器人）.Anyone can use ChatGPT for free now so that the company can collect people's ideas to improve it.

What's more，when people ask ChatGPT questions，it can find mistakes.If it is asked what happened when Columbus arrived in America in 2023，older AIs might give a story.ChatGPT can point out that Columbus reached America in the 1400s.It can also refuse to answer questions that are not proper.For example，if you ask it for advice on stealing a car，it will say that stealing a car is a serious crime and can have bad results.Instead，it gives advice such as "taking the bus". ChatGPT might help people solve problems，but AI is trained by using texts from the Internet.Often，the texts are used without being allowed by the writers of those texts.Some argue that technology doesn't respect（尊重）people's work.Some argue that people will use ChatGPT to copy others' work and sell it as their own.Some think AI technology is bad for the earth，too.Training ChatGPT might produce CO2 and lead to climate（气候） change that will heat up the earth. 1、Why can we use ChatGPT for free now？ 　 　 A.The company wants to serve people.

The qipao has a high collar（衣领），with pankous，traditional Chinese knotted buttons（纽扣），on the front.Some people believe the qipao originated（起源于） from gowns（长袍）worn by women in the Qing Dynasty.Influenced by Western culture，it changed continually during the early 20% h century，becoming more fitted and body﹣hugging. After years of development，the qipao is now mainly divided into Beijing styles，Shanghai styles and Hong Kong styles.There are many differences in color and design（设计）. The Beijing﹣style qipao is more traditional than Shanghai﹣style and Hong Kong﹣style qipaos.The colors of Beijing﹣style qipaos are much brighter.High﹣quality Beijing﹣style qipaos are usually made by hand，so the price is much higher.

Hong Kong﹣style qipaos have been greatly influenced by European fashions.They have shorter sleeves than the other two.The decorations（装饰） are simpler，too.

Passage 2 （24-25九上·湖北省恩施·期中） According to Ken Croswell，the Sun and the Moon are different.We often think that the Sun rules the day and the Moon rules the night.That's kind of right，but not totally. The Sun shines all the time.It shines during the day when we see it，and even at night when we don't. As the Earth turns，sometimes we face the Sun.That's when we get day.When the Earth's spin（自转） turns us away from the Sun and we are in the Earth's shadow，we get night.When people on the opposite side of the Earth face the Sun，those people have day while we have night. The Moon is a different story.Unlike the Sun，it doesn't make its own light.Moonlight is actually the Sun's light reflecting（反射） the Moon back to us. The Sun lights up only the side of the Moon that faces the Sun.At Full Moon，the Moon is on the opposite side of the Earth from the Sun.Then the side of the Moon facing the Earth is all lit up.During Full Moon，the Moon rises around sunset，shines all night，and sets around sunrise.Since the moonlight is so bright，you can sometimes see it during the day，too.A few days before Full Moon，if you look east in the afternoon，you may see the Moon in the sky.After Full Moon，you may find it if you look west in the morning. The Moon is most difficult to see at New Moon，when its orbit（轨道） puts it between the Earth and the Sun.Then，the side of the Moon facing the Earth is dark and we can't see the Moon at all. 1、What can we know about the Sun？ 　 　 A.The Sun rules the Moon.

Passage 2 （24-25九上·湖北省十堰郧西·期中） Have you ever had a question in your mind about why we Chinese people use chopsticks？And till now？Or any other tools？ Chopsticks are kitchen and eating tools.They have been used all over East Asia for over 2，000 years.They were first invented and used by the Chinese during the Zhou Dynasty（周朝）.Chopsticks later spread to other countries across East，South and South East Asia.They are usually made of bamboo or wood.But at first，chopsticks are not used as eating tools.They were probably used for cooking such as stirring（搅拌） the fire.Then people found it was convenient to eat by using chopsticks.Then chopsticks began to be used as eating tools during the Han Dynasty. Why not use forks and knives？In our mind，forks and knives are made of metal （金属）.They are more similar to weapons.How could dangerous weapons be used on the eating tables？And can you imagine how terrible it is to use forks and knives while we are taking food out of the hot pot？Then chopsticks perfectly solve this problem. What's more，we believe in the idea of being simple.With the two sticks，we can do many things.Also，chopsticks contain（包含） the principle（理念） of "Yin and Yang".Besides，if you take a close look at the chopsticks，you will find the chopsticks are round on one side and square on the other side.So the round side means the sky and the square side means the earth.And when we hold chopsticks，our fingers are between the two sticks.That's our understanding of the relationship between man and the world. 1、Why does the writer ask questions at the beginning of the text？ 　 　 A.To introduce the topic of the text. B.To show the importance of chopsticks. C.To describe the influence of chopsticks.

B.Chopsticks are the perfect eating tools. C.Chopsticks contain much Chinese culture.
