专题06 阅读理解 说明文 主题01 人与自我——方法/策略 Passage 1 （24-25九年级上·北京通州·期中）You might think that you don’t have time to sit down and create something every day. This is when it is important to know the difference between using creativity and actually creating something. In a lot of ways, creativity is all about how you see things. You can use creativity to write poems, but you can also use it in practical ways like coming up with a solution for a project or organizing things in your home. The next time you think you are not creative, take a step back and take a look at what you do in your daily lives. You might be surprised at how often you are using creativity. As children, we are highly creative and imaginative. We often act on our impulses (冲动): speaking our thoughts out loud as they come into our heads, and letting our imaginations inform many of our actions. But as we grow older, we are taught to control these impulses. This is generally a good thing—a world without impulse control would be a place without order. After we say “no” to our impulses, it can be difficult to start following them again in a creative sense. One way to make your inhibition (抑制) less is through free writing. When you have a free writing, you write continuously for a period of time without worrying about the topic or being “correct”. It is also important to remind yourself that there is no perfection. If you try to find the “right way” to do something, you limit your creative potential (潜质). When you get a creative impulse, don’t push it away or say “no”. Try saying “yes, and…” instead. This encourages you not only to accept an idea but also to develop it. The “yes, and…” mindset allows you to take impulses, and give them consideration and room to grow. Creativity plays an important role in our daily lives. Following your creative impulses can potentially help improve things like your performance and your ability. It is easy to get used to worrying that your ideas are not good enough or that people won’t like them. But if you are able to trust and follow your impulses, it can help you to overcome those barriers (障碍). 1．According to the passage, we are using creativity when we ________. A．copy down a famous poem B．follow others’ advice without thinking C．receive our friends’ letters D．set up a reading area at home 2．What does the word “inform” in Paragraph 3 most probably mean? A．Pay a close attention to. B．Have an influence on. C．Make preparation for. D．Show some interest in. 3．Which of the following would the writer most probably agree with? A．We should keep reminding ourselves of the right way to do things. B．Free writing can be used to help us focus on the writing topic. C．We need to learn more about how to control our impulses. D．The “yes, and…” mindset is needed to develop a new idea. 4．What is the writer’s main purpose in writing this passage? A．To compare using creativity and actually creating something. B．To encourage us to spend more time creating special things. C．To give advice on discovering our unused creativity. D．To prove the importance of becoming creative. 【答案】1．D 2．B 3．D 4．C 【导语】本文主要探讨了创造力在日常生活中的运用以及如何激发和释放创造力的方法。 1．推理判断题。根据“You can use creativity to write poems, but you can also use it in practical ways like coming up with a solution for a project or organizing things in your home.”可推知，创造力可以是为一个项目想出一个解决方案，或者在家里整理东西。选项D “在家中设置一个阅读区” 属于在家中整理物品、规划空间的范畴，是对创造力的实际运用。故选D。 2．词句猜测题。根据“We often act on our impulses (冲动): speaking our thoughts out loud as they come into our heads, and letting our imaginations inform many of our actions.”可知，此处描述了我们小时候常常凭冲动行事，当想法进入脑海时就大声说出来，并且让我们的想象力影响我们的许多行为。inform意为 “对……有影响”。故选B。 3．细节理解题。根据“The ‘yes, and…’ mindset allows you to take impulses, and give them consideration and room to grow.”可知，当我们有了创造性冲动时，应该尝试用“yes, and…”的思维方式，这种思维方式不仅能让我们接受一个想法，还能进一步发展它，给予冲动以思考和成长的空间，所以作者很可能会认同 “发展一个新想法需 “yes, and…” 的思维方式”。故选D。 4．主旨大意题。根据通读全文可知，全文围绕如何发现我们未被充分利用的创造力展开，给读者提供了一些关于发现自身创造力的建议，所以作者写这篇文章的主要目的是就发现我们未被使用的创造力给出一些建议。故选C。 Passage 2 （24-25九年级上·浙江宁波·期中）Gardening is popular in many parts of the world.

But it’s a downward spiral (下行螺旋)”. According to a study by Harvard University, using social media affects the brain in ways similar to smoking. This has raised worries about phone habits among young people. In the UK, studies have shown that around a quarter of children aged five to seven years old now have their own smartphone. And some studies have shown a link (联系) between the use of social media and a bad effect on mental health, especially in children. As a result, some want an age requirement for smartphone use. Others, like Luke, are choosing to change their smartphones for much simpler ones, so-called “dumbphones (功能手机)”. Luke’s new phone only has texts, calls, maps, and a few other basic tools. “I think my friends use smartphones for four to five hours, and that’s how much mine used to be before I got this,” he said. “Now mine’s like 20 minutes a day, which is really good because I only use it when I need it. My friends think it’s pretty strange, but at this point I feel like it doesn’t really matter.” Parents are also turning to dumbphones, not only for their children but also to help themselves be more present for their families. “Changing to a dumbphone helped me change my own habits, so now I have more great time with my son,” one mother explained. “When it’s time for him to get his own phone, I’ll consider a similar choice.” 1．Why does the writer use Luke Martin’s example in Paragraph 1? A．To explain FOMO. B．To lead into the topic. C．To introduce Luck Martin. D．To show photos and videos. 2．Which is the closest meaning to the underlined word “affects” in Paragraph 2? A．Protects. B．Influences. C．Develops. D．Records. 3．How much time did Luke Martin use his smartphone a day before? A．About 20 minutes. B．About 120 minutes. C．About 200 minutes. D．About 250 minutes. 4．What can we infer from the last paragraph? A．Most parents don’t spend enough time on their families. B．Few Children want to buy smartphones for their parents. C．Some parents may not chose smartphone for their children. D．All Children like to use dummphones instead of smartphone. 【答案】1．B 2．B 3．D 4．C 【导语】本文主要讲述了16岁的Martin使用社交媒体的经历，意识到智能手机带来的不好影响，从而选择更换手机。 1．推理判断题。文章第一段讲述了Luke Martin使用社交媒体的情况以及他的感受，接着第二段开始讲述社交媒体对大脑的影响等相关话题。所以作者使用Luke Martin的例子是为了引出话题。故选B。 2．词句猜测题。根据“using social media affects the brain in ways similar to smoking”可知，使用社交媒体以类似于吸烟的方式影响大脑，这里表达的是社交媒体对大脑产生某种作用，结合选项，“influences”（影响）最符合语境。故选B。 3．细节理解题。根据“I think my friends use smartphones for four to five hours, and that’s how much mine used to be before I got this”可知，我认为我的朋友们使用智能手机四到五个小时，这也是我在得到这个（功能手机）之前使用智能手机的时长，四到五个小时换算成分钟就是240-300分钟左右，故选D。 4．推理判断题。根据“When it’s time for him to get his own phone, I’ll consider a similar choice.”和“Parents are also turning to dumbphones, not only for their children but also to help themselves be more present for their families.”可知，父母开始更换手机，因此可能不会给孩子选择智能手机，故选C。 主题03 人与社会——中华文化 Passage 1 （24-25九年级上·安徽合肥·期中）Nowadays, some calligraphers (书法家) are connecting modern technology with ancient writing art to let young people love it. Chang Binghuang is a teacher of Chinese language at Tamkang University. He found that his students liked to spend much more time on computers and phones than writing on paper, and even less time on calligraphy. “I felt sad about it,” said Chang. “And I started to think about how to use technology to get young people interested in calligraphy.” So Chang created a system called “e-pen”. However, this system was not perfect first. The writers had to watch the screen instead of the hands. It did not feel like writing calligraphy. Then, thanks to the tablet computer (平板电脑), a new “e-pen” was born. People can now look at the screen and their hands at the same time. The new “e-pen” app became popular quickly. “The e-pen app is for anyone with an interest in learning Chinese characters (汉字),” said Chang. So people who have little interest or are not that willing to learn will be able to take the first step into the world of calligraphy. For example, young students can now practice writing characters like “love” and “peace” with a digital (数字的) brush. To keep the tradition alive, Chang hopes more young people will learn more about calligraphy with the help of new technology. With technology, the art of calligraphy will grow stronger in a new digital age. 1．Why did Chang Binghuang create the “e-pen” system? A．He wanted to teach calligraphy more quickly. B．His students were very interested in calligraphy. C．He was attracted by the popularity of table computers. D．He found students preferred technology to traditional writing. 2．Who is the user of the “e-pen” app according to Chang? A．Same successful Calligraphers. B．Anyone interested in Chinese characters. C．Young people who are skilled in technology. D．Students from Tamkang University. 3．Which of the following best shows the structure of the passage? （P= Paragraph） A．①/②③④⑤ B．①/②③/④⑤ C．①②/③④/⑤ D．①②③④/⑤ 【答案】1．D 2．B 3．A 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，讲述了常炳黄老师通过结合现代技术与古老的书法艺术，创造“电子笔”系统，以激发年轻人对书法兴趣的故事。 1．细节理解题。根据第二段“He found that his students liked to spend much more time on computers and phones than writing on paper, and even less time on calligraphy.”可知，常炳黄老师发现学生更喜欢科技而不是传统写作，因此创建了“e-pen”系统。故选D。 2．细节理解题。根据“The e-pen app is for anyone with an interest in learning Chinese characters,”可知，该应用适用于任何对学汉字感兴趣的人。故选B。 3．篇章结构题。文章第一段总述了一些书法家正在将现代技术与古代书法艺术相结合，让年轻人爱上它。第二段到第五段介绍了Chang Binghuang通过结合现代技术与古老的书法艺术，创造“电子笔”系统，以激发年轻人对书法兴趣的故事，文章属于“总—分”结构。故选A。 Passage 2 （24-25九年级上·重庆沙坪坝·期中）Mid-summer is harvest (收获) time for the yellow straw (稻草) that grows in Xuhang Town. The straw, however, is not used to feed animals or to put up buildings. Instead, it is the material for a traditional craft (工艺). Xuhang is known as the “Town of Straw Plaiting (编织)”. The craft has survived for more than 1,000 years. It is said that there was once a young woman named Huang. She was about to get married. However, she was poor. She didn’t even have a new pair of shoes to wear. One day, the cows at her home carried some yellow straw in their mouths and placed it in front of her. Huang made the straw into a pair of shoes. She wore the shoes and got married happily. Surprisingly, her shoes became popular. Huang taught the villagers to make the straw shoes and she became known as the “fairy of straw plaiting”. The modern “fairy of straw plaiting” is Wang Qin. She has been practicing plaiting since childhood and becomes an inheritor of this craft. After graduating from school, Wang first worked in a tailor’s shop and then in a shoe factory. The factory closed down in 1999. While staying at home, Wang looked for something to do. Her grandfather was the leader of the local straw plaiting group. Taking his advice, the woman carefully studied the ancient craft and chose it as her career. These days, visitors to her workshop are greeted by the pleasant smell of straw. On the first floor, there is an exhibition of Wang’s best artworks. There are handbags, slippers, clocks, vases and covers for tea sets. Every summer, people in Xuhang Town harvest 2,000 kilograms of straw. After drying the straw on the ground, craftspeople select those of the best quality of them. The craft mainly uses the “skin” of the straw. The material is then colored and plaited with the help of a mold (模具). Wang is now in her fifties. She is now trying to make the art form popular among young people. In this way, this local tradition will be alive forever. 1．Which of the following is the right order of the straw plaiting? ①Pick out the best quality straws.         ②Dry the straws on the ground. ③Plait straws into craft with molds.         ④Take out the straw skins and color them.

A．Never the Last Straw B．Save the Straw C．The two straw artists D．The Magic of Straw 【答案】1．C 2．C 3．D 4．A 【导语】本文主要讲述徐行镇稻草编织手艺，并讲述古代和现代稻草编织仙女，最后讲述王琴现在正在试着让这门艺术在年轻人中流行，这样这个传统工艺才能永远存在。 1．细节理解题。根据“After drying the straw on the ground, craftspeople select those of the best quality of them. The craft mainly uses the ‘skin’ of the straw. The material is then colored and plaited with the help of a mold”可知把地上的稻草晒干后，工匠们会挑选出质量最好的稻草，该工艺主要使用稻草的“皮”，然后，在模具的帮助下对材料进行着色和编织，故正确顺序是②①④③。故选C。 2．词义猜测题。根据“She has been practicing plaiting since childhood and becomes an inheritor of this craft”可知她从小就练习编辫子，并成为这项手艺的继承人，故此处划线部分意为“继承人”，可放选项C“每个学生都应该是我们中国文化的继承者，把它传承下去”中。故选C。 3．推理判断题。根据“The modern ‘fairy of straw plaiting’ is Wang Qin...Her grandfather was the leader of the local straw plaiting group. Taking his advice, the woman carefully studied the ancient craft and chose it as her career.”可知，她继承了这门传统的工艺，所以被称为当代编织仙女，故选D。 4．最佳标题题。本文主要讲述徐行镇稻草编织手艺，并讲述古代和现代稻草编织仙女，最后讲述王琴现在正在试着让这门艺术在年轻人中流行，这样这个传统工艺才能永远存在，以选项A“绝不是最后一根稻草”为标题最合适，故选A。 主题01 人与社会——科学技术 Passage 1 （24-25九年级上·四川达州·期中）Could you imagine being in a car driven by a computer, not a human? Recently, China has made a big step toward self-driving technology. Since August, 2022, driverless taxis can run on roads in Wuhan, Chongqing, Shenzhen... Why do we develop self-driving cars? Self-driving cars give us many benefits (堵塞). They use computers to sense the things around them and make better use of space. This means fewer traffic jams (堵塞) and better parking of cars.

According to the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, each year more than 135 million people are killed on roads around the world. Many more get hurt. Self-driving cars could reduce road accidents by 90 percent and save governments a lot of money. The main cause of car accidents is human error. By using computers, self-driving cars don’t make poor decisions or lose focus like humans do. But self-driving cars aren’t perfect. If something unexpected on the road happens, self-driving cars can’t react (反应) as fast as a human driver could. Also, during weather events like heavy snow, self-driving cars would be difficult to see the lines on the road. It might lead to an accident. The car’s computer system could also get hacked (非法入侵) by someone, causing it to crash or change its destination (目的地). It’s clear that there is a lot of work to do to make self-driving cars a common and safe sight (景象) on roads. And China is taking the lead in making this happen. 1．What is the benefit of self-driving cars? A．They allow disabled people to travel more freely. B．They don’t need parking lots.

Doctors there completed the world’s first remote (远程的), micron (微米的) operation on animals by using an independently developed 5G robot. The operation, which took place on June 23 at the center in Guangzhou, was done by a medical team operating the robot from the Zhongshan Eye Center in Haikou. The main part of the robot is a special arm that makes accurate (精准的) remote control possible. When doctors’ hands come to treating eye problems, the common way is to put medicine directly into the eye area. But their hands shake naturally, making it difficult to be very accurate. The robot can copy tasks usually done by hand, and it performs them smoothly and accurately. Another advantage is that even young doctors can perform eye surgery with 5G robot’s help. According to Professor Lin, the leader of the medical team, becoming a skilled eye doctor takes at least 10 years of practice. However, with the help of the robot, young doctors can achieve a high level of accuracy comparable to experienced doctors. The third important point is that using 5G makes it possible for doctors to treat patients far away. Eye doctors can get clear and timely pictures, which makes remote operations dependable. Still, it’s important to remember that while this technology is promising, more research and tests are needed to make sure it’s safe and works well for patients. “If everything goes well, 5G remote micron eye surgery will be available to humans within half a year,” Lin said. The team will keep working hard to help develop remote medicine in China and increase national medical levels. 1．What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 2 refer to? A．The doctor’s arm. B．The patient’s eye. C．The robot’s hand. D．The leader’s tool. 2．Which paragraph shows 5G robot may help young doctors? A．Paragraph 1. B．Paragraph 2. C．Paragraph 3. D．Paragraph 4. 3．What can we learn about 5G robot from the passage? A．It can only treat patients nearby. B．It helped complete the eye surgery. C．It has already been widely used. D．It makes the patient healthy within a month. 4．How does Professor Lin feel about the future of 5G robot? A．Worried. B．Surprised. C．Doubtful. D．Hopeful. 【答案】1．C 2．C 3．B 4．D 【导语】本文讲述的是中山大学中山眼科中心在眼科手术领域取得的一项里程碑式成就——利用自主研发的5G机器人成功完成了世界上首例远程微米级动物眼科手术。 1．词句猜测题。根据“The main part of the robot is a special arm that makes accurate (精准的) remote control possible…The robot can copy tasks usually done by hand, and it performs them smoothly and accurately.”可知该机器人可以复制通常手工完成的任务，并且可以流畅、准确地执行这些任务。因此“it”指代前文中的“the robot’s hand”。故选C。 2．推理判断题。第三段中提到“young doctors can achieve a high level of accuracy comparable to experienced doctors”可知，详细说明了5G机器人对年轻医生的帮助。故选C。 3．细节理解题。根据“Doctors there completed the world’s first remote (远程的), micron (微米的) operation on animals by using an independently developed 5G robot.”可知文章开头就介绍了该5G机器人帮助完成了远程眼睛手术，说明它在手术中起到了关键作用。故选B。 4．推理判断题。根据“If everything goes well, 5G remote micron eye surgery will be available to humans within half a year”可知文末提到Professor Lin对技术的发展充满信心，说明他对5G机器人的未来感到乐观，故选D。 Passage 4 （24-25九年级上·浙江金华·期中） The Museum of Modern Art in New York City. The National Air and Space Museum in Washington. And the German Historical Museum in Berlin. And those are only part of the list. Children from more than 180, 000 families in China can now go on virtual (虚拟的) tours of ten world-famous museums. The programs provide video clips, cartoons and commentary (实时解说) by Chinese experts. The shows are produced by Aha School, an education company. The families each pay 15 yuan to watch. The company also gives away the programs to 174 rural (乡村的) classrooms. Ma Xiaoyan is a teacher in Sichuan. He says the children there are very poor. They have never visited a museum. For some of them, even going to the closest town is difficult. Educators are excited about the museum project. It shows how live streaming (在线直播) can help improve rural education. The technology is already widely popular on social media. However, it was not until recently that it had been used for education. Aha School is not alone. A few urban schools in China have also begun sharing their lessons with rural schools. But some of the projects fail to produce the expected effect. That is because students in rural classrooms have very different backgrounds. The museum project of Aha School has been a success. Pan Lisheng, the head of the company, says the problem doesn’t lie in the technology. Instead, it is because few educators have worked out how to make the lessons interesting. Pan and his workmates make sure that their programs will interest children from any background. “Every child is a unique (独一无二的) flower,” Pan said. 1．The third paragraph is mainly about the ________. A．introductions to the project B．price of the shows C．location of each museum D．development of the company 2．The word “it” in Para 5 refers to ________. A．Aha School B．the social media C．the technology D．the museum project 3．Aha School’s museum project has been a success because the company ________.

A clock, a watch or a mobile phone can help us. However, many years ago there were no clocks and knowing the time was not so easy. Over the centuries, people have developed different ways of telling the time. About 5,500 years ago, the Egyptians invented the sun clock. This was a tall stone building. Its shadow (影子) showed the movement of the sun. So people were able to know midday. The Egyptians made a sundial about 3,500 years ago. It was smaller than the sun clock and could let people know the time for half a day. On cloudy days or at night it was impossible to tell the time with a sun clock or a sundial. Water clocks were the first clocks not to use the sun. The idea is simple. Water flows (流动) from one bottle to another. When the water reaches a certain level, it shows the hours. The Egyptians used water clocks about 3,400 years ago. These clocks were popular in the Middle East and China. But they failed to make people know the exact time. In the 13th century, the mechanical clock was invented. This was more exact, but it was expensive to make one. Over the next few centuries it was developed. For example, spring (发条) were added around 1500. This enabled people to get the correct time and allowed clocks to be smaller. In 1927, the first quartz clock was developed. Clocks became cheaper to build. It’s also cheaper for ordinary people to own a clock. People began depending on them more and more to run business, markets and so on. More recently, in 1956, came the digital clock. And nowadays satellites send our mobile phones the time to the exact second. There has been a lot of progress in timekeeping. Clocks are always changing but some things never change. Many of us still have trouble getting out of bed on time and not being late for school or work. 根据短文内容，选择最佳答案。 1．According to the passage, we can’t use the ________ to tell the time on a rainy day. A．water clock B．sun clock C．digital clock D．mechanical clock 2．What’s the meaning of the underlined word “ordinary” in the third paragraph? A．modern B．special C．rich D．common 3．How many kinds of clocks are mentioned in the passage? A．Four. B．Five. C．Six. D．Seven. 4．Which of the following shows the structure (结构) of the passage? （①—paragraph 1,  ②—paragraph 2, …） A．B．C． D． 5．What does the passage mainly talk about? A．The importance of time. B．The development of timekeeping. C．The inventions of clocks. D．The history of a digital clock. 【答案】1．B 2．D 3．C 4．A 5．B 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了人类历史上计时工具的发展，从古埃及的太阳钟和水钟，到机械钟、石英钟，再到现代的数字钟和卫星时间同步，强调了时间测量技术的进步以及它对人类生活的影响。 1．细节理解题。根据“On cloudy days or at night it was impossible to tell the time with a sun clock or a sundial.”可知，在阴天或晚上，不可能用太阳钟或日晷来报时。由于雨天通常也是阴天，因此日晷在雨天也无法使用。故选B。 2．词句猜测题。根据“Clocks became cheaper to build. It’s also cheaper for ordinary people to own a clock.”可知，钟表制造变得便宜了，普通人拥有一块钟表也便宜了。因此，“ordinary”在这里的意思是“普通的”。故选D。 3．细节理解题。根据“About 5,500 years ago, the Egyptians invented the sun clock.”，“ The Egyptians made a sundial about 3,500 years ago.”，“In the 13th century, the mechanical clock was invented. ”，“In 1927, the first quartz clock was developed.”，“More recently, in 1956, came the digital clock. ”可知大约5500年前，埃及人发明了太阳钟；埃及人在3500年前制造了日晷；水钟是第一个不使用太阳的钟；在13世纪，机械钟被发明；1927年，第一个石英钟被发明；1956年，出现了数字钟。总共六种钟。故选C。 4．篇章结构题。根据文章内容，文章第一段介绍了我们如何知道时间，第二段和第三段介绍了古代人们计时的方法现代计时工具的发展，第四段总结了计时技术的进步和一些不变的事情。因此，文章的结构是①—②③—④。选项A中的结构与此相符。故选A。 5．主旨大意题。根据文章最后一段“There has been a lot of progress in timekeeping. Clocks are always changing but some things never change.”可知，文章主要讲述了计时技术的进步和变化。故选B。 主题04 人与社会——青少年问题 （23-24八年级上·江西鹰潭·期中）Live-streaming (直播) has become very popular in China. Viewers (people who watch it) can communicate with hosts by sending them messages, buying them gifts, or tippıng (giving them some money). However, some children are spending too much money on live-stream platforms (平台). Earlier this year, a 17-year-old boy in Hubei, sent 150,000 yuan to a host. That was his parents’ life money. To stop things like this from happening again, the National Radio and Television Administration introduced a new rule on Nov 23 to better manage (管理) live-streaming services. The rule bans children from giving money or sending gifts to live-stream hosts and performers. It also asks people to register (注册) on live-streaming sites with their real names. Parents welcome this new rule very much. According to China Daily, about one-fifth of live-stream viewers in 2021were children. “Online shows and live-streaming have become so popular. I always feel worried that my son might become lost in them.” said a mother of a 15-year-old boy in Beijing. “Stricter rule makes me feel safer.” In addition, there are some other ways to help manage live-streaming services. For example, live-streaming platforms will put a limit (限制) on how much money people can send to the hosts. When viewers reach the limit, they will not be able to send gifts or give money. If the host asks viewers to send gifts or tips, he or she will be added to blacklist (黑名单). 1．What problem does live-streaming bring a 17-year-old boy in Hubei Province? A．Receiving too many gifts. B．Spending too much money on live-streaming platforms. C．Affecting his friendship in the school. D．Becoming lost in watching TV. 2．What does the mother from Beijing think of the live-streaming? A．Helpful. B．Scary. C．Worrying. D．Fantastic. 3．What does the underline word “bans” in Paragraph 4 mean? A．帮助 B．赞成 C．期盼 D．禁止 4．Which of the following is the best title of the passage? A．Live-streaming is Popular B．A New Rule for Children C．Manage Live-streaming Strictly D．The Using Limit for Viewers 【答案】1．B 2．C 3．D 4．C 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了网络直播给青少年带来的危害以及国家广播电视总局关于网络直播的一些针对未成年人的规定。 1．细节理解题。根据“Earlier this year, a 17-year-old boy in Hubei, sent 150,000 yuan to a host. That was his parents’ life money.”可知，湖北一名17岁的男孩给一名主播打赏了15万元，那是他父母的生活费，即直播给湖北省一个17岁的男孩带来的问题是在直播平台上花太多钱。故选B。 2．细节理解题。根据“‘Online shows and live-streaming have become so popular. I always feel worried that my son might become lost in them.’ said a mother of a 15-year-old boy in Beijing.”可知，北京一位15岁男孩的母亲表示总是担心自己的儿子可能会在网络节目或直播中迷失，即这位来自北京的母亲对直播很担心。故选C。 3．词句猜测题。根据“The rule bans children from giving money or sending gifts to live-stream hosts and performers.”可知，儿童向直播主播和表演者赠送金钱或礼物是不对的，此处应为该规定禁止儿童向直播主播和表演者赠送金钱或礼物，可推测bans表示“禁止”。故选D。 4．标题归纳题。根据全文可知，文章主要介绍了网络直播给青少年带来的危害以及国家广播电视总局关于网络直播的一些针对未成年人的规定，以更好地管理直播服务，即严格管理直播。故选C。 / 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 专题06 阅读理解 说明文 主题01 人与自我——方法/策略 Passage 1 （24-25九年级上·北京通州·期中）You might think that you don’t have time to sit down and create something every day. This is when it is important to know the difference between using creativity and actually creating something. In a lot of ways, creativity is all about how you see things. You can use creativity to write poems, but you can also use it in practical ways like coming up with a solution for a project or organizing things in your home. The next time you think you are not creative, take a step back and take a look at what you do in your daily lives. You might be surprised at how often you are using creativity. As children, we are highly creative and imaginative. We often act on our impulses (冲动): speaking our thoughts out loud as they come into our heads, and letting our imaginations inform many of our actions. But as we grow older, we are taught to control these impulses. This is generally a good thing—a world without impulse control would be a place without order. After we say “no” to our impulses, it can be difficult to start following them again in a creative sense. One way to make your inhibition (抑制) less is through free writing. When you have a free writing, you write continuously for a period of time without worrying about the topic or being “correct”. It is also important to remind yourself that there is no perfection. If you try to find the “right way” to do something, you limit your creative potential (潜质). When you get a creative impulse, don’t push it away or say “no”. Try saying “yes, and…” instead. This encourages you not only to accept an idea but also to develop it. The “yes, and…” mindset allows you to take impulses, and give them consideration and room to grow. Creativity plays an important role in our daily lives. Following your creative impulses can potentially help improve things like your performance and your ability. It is easy to get used to worrying that your ideas are not good enough or that people won’t like them. But if you are able to trust and follow your impulses, it can help you to overcome those barriers (障碍). 1．According to the passage, we are using creativity when we ________. A．copy down a famous poem B．follow others’ advice without thinking C．receive our friends’ letters D．set up a reading area at home 2．What does the word “inform” in Paragraph 3 most probably mean? A．Pay a close attention to. B．Have an influence on. C．Make preparation for. D．Show some interest in. 3．Which of the following would the writer most probably agree with? A．We should keep reminding ourselves of the right way to do things. B．Free writing can be used to help us focus on the writing topic. C．We need to learn more about how to control our impulses. D．The “yes, and…” mindset is needed to develop a new idea. 4．What is the writer’s main purpose in writing this passage? A．To compare using creativity and actually creating something. B．To encourage us to spend more time creating special things. C．To give advice on discovering our unused creativity. D．To prove the importance of becoming creative.

Passage 2 （24-25九年级上·浙江绍兴·期中） “Social media  is built around FOMO （fear of missing out）, so I felt like I couldn’t get off it,” said 16-year-old Luke Martin. “Immediately, I got Instagram, where people can see what their friends are doing through shared photos and videos. But it’s a downward spiral (下行螺旋)”. According to a study by Harvard University, using social media affects the brain in ways similar to smoking. This has raised worries about phone habits among young people. In the UK, studies have shown that around a quarter of children aged five to seven years old now have their own smartphone. And some studies have shown a link (联系) between the use of social media and a bad effect on mental health, especially in children. As a result, some want an age requirement for smartphone use. Others, like Luke, are choosing to change their smartphones for much simpler ones, so-called “dumbphones (功能手机)”. Luke’s new phone only has texts, calls, maps, and a few other basic tools. “I think my friends use smartphones for four to five hours, and that’s how much mine used to be before I got this,” he said. “Now mine’s like 20 minutes a day, which is really good because I only use it when I need it. My friends think it’s pretty strange, but at this point I feel like it doesn’t really matter.” Parents are also turning to dumbphones, not only for their children but also to help themselves be more present for their families. “Changing to a dumbphone helped me change my own habits, so now I have more great time with my son,” one mother explained. “When it’s time for him to get his own phone, I’ll consider a similar choice.” 1．Why does the writer use Luke Martin’s example in Paragraph 1? A．To explain FOMO. B．To lead into the topic. C．To introduce Luck Martin. D．To show photos and videos. 2．Which is the closest meaning to the underlined word “affects” in Paragraph 2? A．Protects. B．Influences. C．Develops. D．Records. 3．How much time did Luke Martin use his smartphone a day before? A．About 20 minutes. B．About 120 minutes. C．About 200 minutes. D．About 250 minutes. 4．What can we infer from the last paragraph? A．Most parents don’t spend enough time on their families. B．Few Children want to buy smartphones for their parents. C．Some parents may not chose smartphone for their children. D．All Children like to use dummphones instead of smartphone. 主题03 人与社会——中华文化 Passage 1 （24-25九年级上·安徽合肥·期中）Nowadays, some calligraphers (书法家) are connecting modern technology with ancient writing art to let young people love it. Chang Binghuang is a teacher of Chinese language at Tamkang University. He found that his students liked to spend much more time on computers and phones than writing on paper, and even less time on calligraphy. “I felt sad about it,” said Chang. “And I started to think about how to use technology to get young people interested in calligraphy.” So Chang created a system called “e-pen”. However, this system was not perfect first. The writers had to watch the screen instead of the hands. It did not feel like writing calligraphy. Then, thanks to the tablet computer (平板电脑), a new “e-pen” was born. People can now look at the screen and their hands at the same time. The new “e-pen” app became popular quickly. “The e-pen app is for anyone with an interest in learning Chinese characters (汉字),” said Chang. So people who have little interest or are not that willing to learn will be able to take the first step into the world of calligraphy. For example, young students can now practice writing characters like “love” and “peace” with a digital (数字的) brush. To keep the tradition alive, Chang hopes more young people will learn more about calligraphy with the help of new technology. With technology, the art of calligraphy will grow stronger in a new digital age. 1．Why did Chang Binghuang create the “e-pen” system? A．He wanted to teach calligraphy more quickly. B．His students were very interested in calligraphy. C．He was attracted by the popularity of table computers. D．He found students preferred technology to traditional writing. 2．Who is the user of the “e-pen” app according to Chang? A．Same successful Calligraphers. B．Anyone interested in Chinese characters. C．Young people who are skilled in technology. D．Students from Tamkang University. 3．Which of the following best shows the structure of the passage? （P= Paragraph） A．①/②③④⑤ B．①/②③/④⑤ C．①②/③④/⑤ D．①②③④/⑤ Passage 2 （24-25九年级上·重庆沙坪坝·期中）Mid-summer is harvest (收获) time for the yellow straw (稻草) that grows in Xuhang Town. The straw, however, is not used to feed animals or to put up buildings. Instead, it is the material for a traditional craft (工艺). Xuhang is known as the “Town of Straw Plaiting (编织)”. The craft has survived for more than 1,000 years. It is said that there was once a young woman named Huang. She was about to get married. However, she was poor. She didn’t even have a new pair of shoes to wear. One day, the cows at her home carried some yellow straw in their mouths and placed it in front of her. Huang made the straw into a pair of shoes. She wore the shoes and got married happily. Surprisingly, her shoes became popular. Huang taught the villagers to make the straw shoes and she became known as the “fairy of straw plaiting”. The modern “fairy of straw plaiting” is Wang Qin. She has been practicing plaiting since childhood and becomes an inheritor of this craft. After graduating from school, Wang first worked in a tailor’s shop and then in a shoe factory. The factory closed down in 1999. While staying at home, Wang looked for something to do. Her grandfather was the leader of the local straw plaiting group. Taking his advice, the woman carefully studied the ancient craft and chose it as her career. These days, visitors to her workshop are greeted by the pleasant smell of straw. On the first floor, there is an exhibition of Wang’s best artworks. There are handbags, slippers, clocks, vases and covers for tea sets. Every summer, people in Xuhang Town harvest 2,000 kilograms of straw. After drying the straw on the ground, craftspeople select those of the best quality of them. The craft mainly uses the “skin” of the straw. The material is then colored and plaited with the help of a mold (模具). Wang is now in her fifties. She is now trying to make the art form popular among young people. In this way, this local tradition will be alive forever. 1．Which of the following is the right order of the straw plaiting? ①Pick out the best quality straws.         ②Dry the straws on the ground. ③Plait straws into craft with molds.         ④Take out the straw skins and color them.

Recently, China has made a big step toward self-driving technology. Since August, 2022, driverless taxis can run on roads in Wuhan, Chongqing, Shenzhen... Why do we develop self-driving cars? Self-driving cars give us many benefits (堵塞). They use computers to sense the things around them and make better use of space. This means fewer traffic jams (堵塞) and better parking of cars. For disabled or blind people, self-driving cars can also help them get around more easily. According to the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, each year more than 135 million people are killed on roads around the world. Many more get hurt. Self-driving cars could reduce road accidents by 90 percent and save governments a lot of money. The main cause of car accidents is human error. By using computers, self-driving cars don’t make poor decisions or lose focus like humans do. But self-driving cars aren’t perfect. If something unexpected on the road happens, self-driving cars can’t react (反应) as fast as a human driver could. Also, during weather events like heavy snow, self-driving cars would be difficult to see the lines on the road. It might lead to an accident. The car’s computer system could also get hacked (非法入侵) by someone, causing it to crash or change its destination (目的地). It’s clear that there is a lot of work to do to make self-driving cars a common and safe sight (景象) on roads. And China is taking the lead in making this happen. 1．What is the benefit of self-driving cars? A．They allow disabled people to travel more freely. B．They don’t need parking lots. C．They cost less money to make and repair. D．They react faster than humans in bad weather. 2．The underlined word “error” is similar to ________. A．idea B．mind C．advice D．mistake 3．Why can self-driving cars help reduce road accidents? A．Because their computers know all road accidents ahead of time. B．Because their computers don’t “lose focus” like humans do. C．Because they can correct human mistakes while driving. D．Because there will be fewer traffic jams. 4．What is Paragraph 4 mainly about? A．How road accidents usually happen. B．How the computers in self-driving cars work. C．The weaknesses of self-driving cars. D．The benefits of having a human driver. 5．What can we infer from the passage? A．China is trying to make self-driving cars safer and more common. B．Self-driving cars are already commonly seen in China. C．Self-driving cars often change their ways and bring lots of problems. D．Self-driving cars might cause accidents on sunny days. Passage 2 （24-25九年级上·浙江绍兴·期中） If you order a meal from Shake Shack in Los Angeles, your next burger will be brought by a robot on wheels. The fast food restaurant sells burgers, fries, milkshakes and more. It is working with Serve Robotics to bring customers (顾客) their orders with a robot. The robot can drive itself from the restaurant to their home. When ordering a meal from Shake Shack online, customers in Los Angeles can choose to have their food brought by a robot. Customers can then follow the robot on its journey from the restaurant to their location (地点) on the mobile phone. The robot is around a meter tall and looks like a box on four wheels, with two lights at the front which look like its eyes. According to reports, the robots can carry up to 23 kilograms at a top speed of 11 kilometers per hour-and they only travel on sidewalks. Food orders are put into a closed space that can only be opened by the customers when it arrives at their home. Till now, the robots have already brought thousands of orders to customers in Los Angeles. What’s more, they also work for many restaurants in other cities. But there can be problems. Serve Roboties says that its robots finish their take-out (外卖) work over 99% of the time. However, you can see people breaking the robots and taking away what’s inside of them in some online videos. Besides, the robots can also have problems traveling on broken ground, and some people are worried they might block (阻塞) sidewalk. 1．What does the underlined word “It” in Paragraph 2 refer to?

Doctors there completed the world’s first remote (远程的), micron (微米的) operation on animals by using an independently developed 5G robot. The operation, which took place on June 23 at the center in Guangzhou, was done by a medical team operating the robot from the Zhongshan Eye Center in Haikou. The main part of the robot is a special arm that makes accurate (精准的) remote control possible. When doctors’ hands come to treating eye problems, the common way is to put medicine directly into the eye area. But their hands shake naturally, making it difficult to be very accurate. The robot can copy tasks usually done by hand, and it performs them smoothly and accurately. Another advantage is that even young doctors can perform eye surgery with 5G robot’s help. According to Professor Lin, the leader of the medical team, becoming a skilled eye doctor takes at least 10 years of practice. However, with the help of the robot, young doctors can achieve a high level of accuracy comparable to experienced doctors. The third important point is that using 5G makes it possible for doctors to treat patients far away. Eye doctors can get clear and timely pictures, which makes remote operations dependable. Still, it’s important to remember that while this technology is promising, more research and tests are needed to make sure it’s safe and works well for patients. “If everything goes well, 5G remote micron eye surgery will be available to humans within half a year,” Lin said. The team will keep working hard to help develop remote medicine in China and increase national medical levels. 1．What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 2 refer to? A．The doctor’s arm. B．The patient’s eye. C．The robot’s hand. D．The leader’s tool. 2．Which paragraph shows 5G robot may help young doctors? A．Paragraph 1. B．Paragraph 2. C．Paragraph 3. D．Paragraph 4. 3．What can we learn about 5G robot from the passage? A．It can only treat patients nearby. B．It helped complete the eye surgery. C．It has already been widely used. D．It makes the patient healthy within a month. 4．How does Professor Lin feel about the future of 5G robot? A．Worried. B．Surprised. C．Doubtful. D．Hopeful. Passage 4 （24-25九年级上·浙江金华·期中） The Museum of Modern Art in New York City. The National Air and Space Museum in Washington. And the German Historical Museum in Berlin. And those are only part of the list. Children from more than 180, 000 families in China can now go on virtual (虚拟的) tours of ten world-famous museums. The programs provide video clips, cartoons and commentary (实时解说) by Chinese experts. The shows are produced by Aha School, an education company. The families each pay 15 yuan to watch. The company also gives away the programs to 174 rural (乡村的) classrooms. Ma Xiaoyan is a teacher in Sichuan. He says the children there are very poor. They have never visited a museum. For some of them, even going to the closest town is difficult. Educators are excited about the museum project. It shows how live streaming (在线直播) can help improve rural education. The technology is already widely popular on social media. However, it was not until recently that it had been used for education. Aha School is not alone. A few urban schools in China have also begun sharing their lessons with rural schools. But some of the projects fail to produce the expected effect. That is because students in rural classrooms have very different backgrounds. The museum project of Aha School has been a success. Pan Lisheng, the head of the company, says the problem doesn’t lie in the technology. Instead, it is because few educators have worked out how to make the lessons interesting. Pan and his workmates make sure that their programs will interest children from any background. “Every child is a unique (独一无二的) flower,” Pan said. 1．The third paragraph is mainly about the ________. A．introductions to the project B．price of the shows C．location of each museum D．development of the company 2．The word “it” in Para 5 refers to ________. A．Aha School B．the social media C．the technology D．the museum project 3．Aha School’s museum project has been a success because the company ________. A．spends much money designing it B．allows teachers to use the technology C．helps improve an adult education D．provides suitable classes for kids 4．We can infer from the passage that ________. A．there will be many museums in rural Sichuan B．ten museums have been included in the project C．a child needs to pay 15 yuan for each show D．the museum project has little influence on education 主题02 人与社会——发明与创造 （24-25九年级上·浙江杭州·期中）Every year, Time magazine puts out its list of the year’s best inventions. Some of them help us solve problems, while others make life easier or more fun. Here are three of the inventions on this year’s list. Which one do you think is the best? Life-like animals At the Hologram Zoo (全息动物园) in Australia, you don’t just see a giraffe. You see a group of giraffes running towards you and then over you. “We show people things they have never seen before,” says the zoo’s CEO. Visitors to the zoo can see life-like wonders. Thanks to hologram technology, the public can see wildlife while no animals have to be kept in cages. Stopping fires Alert Califormia is a safety program in California. It uses AI to predict wildfires. The AI detector (探测器) uses more than a thousand cameras in forests across the state. It can spot smoke and other early signs of fire. In two  months, the program correctly predicted 77 fires before any 9ll calls came in. Air on Mars If astronauts land on Mars in the future, they’ll need air to breathe and a way to get home. NASA’s Moxie can help solve both problems. This small equipment can separate oxygen (氧气) from the atmosphere (大气) on Mars and help astronauts breathe. In addition, the oxygen can be used to provide energy for spaceships. This is important for sending astronauts home from Mars. 1．What makes the Hologram Zoo in Australia special? A．The high technology. B．A safety program. C．The CEO. D．A spaceship. 2．Why is NASA’s Moxie used by astronauts? A．To predict the fires. B．To meet the needs of breath. C．To call the spaceship.

D．Science. 主题03 人与社会——科普 Passage 1 （24-25九年级上·安徽合肥·期中）Experts (专家) say that students usually need eight to ten hours’ sleep at night, but most Chinese students do not get enough sleep. Some Chinese parents are usually glad to see their children studying late. They will think their children work very hard. But not all parents are happy about this. Once a mother told us that every morning her 10-year-old boy put up one finger with his eyes still closed, begging (乞求) for one more minute to sleep, Like thousands of students “early birds” in China, he has to get up before six every morning. A report shows that without a good night’s sleep, students seem to be weaker than they should be. Many students fall asleep during class at one time or another. Too much homework is not the only reason (原因) why students stay up late. Some watch TV or play the computer games into the late night. Experts say that students should develop good study habits. So some clever students never study late, but they are able to work well in class. 1．The 10-year-old boy begged for one more minute to sleep because ________. A．he didn’t have enough sleep B．it wasn’t time for him to get up C．he didn’t want to go to school D．he wanted his mother to wake him up 2．The phrase “stay up late” here means “________”. A．study late B．watch TV late C．not go to bed until late D．stay outside 3．According to (根据) the passage, which of the following is right? A．If you want to study better, you must study late at night. B．Sleeping less means working hard. C．Some clever students are able to work well in class because they have good study habits. D．Students don’t have enough sleep only because they have a lot of homework to do. Passage 2 （24-25九年级上·吉林长春·期中）How do we know the time? A clock, a watch or a mobile phone can help us. However, many years ago there were no clocks and knowing the time was not so easy. Over the centuries, people have developed different ways of telling the time. About 5,500 years ago, the Egyptians invented the sun clock. This was a tall stone building. Its shadow (影子) showed the movement of the sun. So people were able to know midday. The Egyptians made a sundial about 3,500 years ago. It was smaller than the sun clock and could let people know the time for half a day. On cloudy days or at night it was impossible to tell the time with a sun clock or a sundial. Water clocks were the first clocks not to use the sun. The idea is simple. Water flows (流动) from one bottle to another. When the water reaches a certain level, it shows the hours. The Egyptians used water clocks about 3,400 years ago. These clocks were popular in the Middle East and China. But they failed to make people know the exact time. In the 13th century, the mechanical clock was invented. This was more exact, but it was expensive to make one. Over the next few centuries it was developed. For example, spring (发条) were added around 1500. This enabled people to get the correct time and allowed clocks to be smaller. In 1927, the first quartz clock was developed. Clocks became cheaper to build. It’s also cheaper for ordinary people to own a clock. People began depending on them more and more to run business, markets and so on. More recently, in 1956, came the digital clock. And nowadays satellites send our mobile phones the time to the exact second. There has been a lot of progress in timekeeping. Clocks are always changing but some things never change. Many of us still have trouble getting out of bed on time and not being late for school or work. 根据短文内容，选择最佳答案。 1．According to the passage, we can’t use the ________ to tell the time on a rainy day. A．water clock B．sun clock C．digital clock D．mechanical clock 2．What’s the meaning of the underlined word “ordinary” in the third paragraph?

B．The development of timekeeping. C．The inventions of clocks. D．The history of a digital clock. 主题04 人与社会——青少年问题 （23-24八年级上·江西鹰潭·期中）Live-streaming (直播) has become very popular in China. Viewers (people who watch it) can communicate with hosts by sending them messages, buying them gifts, or tippıng (giving them some money). However, some children are spending too much money on live-stream platforms (平台). Earlier this year, a 17-year-old boy in Hubei, sent 150,000 yuan to a host. That was his parents’ life money. To stop things like this from happening again, the National Radio and Television Administration introduced a new rule on Nov 23 to better manage (管理) live-streaming services. The rule bans children from giving money or sending gifts to live-stream hosts and performers. It also asks people to register (注册) on live-streaming sites with their real names. Parents welcome this new rule very much. According to China Daily, about one-fifth of live-stream viewers in 2021were children. “Online shows and live-streaming have become so popular. I always feel worried that my son might become lost in them.” said a mother of a 15-year-old boy in Beijing. “Stricter rule makes me feel safer.” In addition, there are some other ways to help manage live-streaming services. For example, live-streaming platforms will put a limit (限制) on how much money people can send to the hosts. When viewers reach the limit, they will not be able to send gifts or give money. If the host asks viewers to send gifts or tips, he or she will be added to blacklist (黑名单). 1．What problem does live-streaming bring a 17-year-old boy in Hubei Province? A．Receiving too many gifts. B．Spending too much money on live-streaming platforms. C．Affecting his friendship in the school. D．Becoming lost in watching TV. 2．What does the mother from Beijing think of the live-streaming?
