专题01 阅读理解 说明文 主题01 人与自然 Passage 1 (24-25九上·广西钦州浦北县·期中) Many scientists find that colors can change people’s feelings. It’s very interesting. Some colors can make people feel relaxed, and some colors can make people feel nervous. Now, this kind of knowledge is being used in many places. For example, school walls are always painted green because green makes students feel relaxed. It is also good for the students’ eyes. Some books are also green or light blue for the same reason. Restaurant owners not only have to know how to make food, but also have to know how to make money. Here are the things they’ve learned from scientist studies. The color red makes people hungry. Many fast food restaurants have red furniture or walls. Soft colors like pink and light blue make people feel relaxed, so they spend more time eating. Loud music may be nice at first, but it soon makes people want to leave. Hard seats also make customers want to eat quickly and leave. Many restaurants, especially fast food restaurants, use this knowledge to make customers eat faster. 根据短文内容，选择正确答案，并在答题卡上将选定答案的字母标号涂黑。 1．Many school walls are always painted green to ________.

You will soon understand that work is a rubber ball. If you drop it, it will bounce back (弹回). The other three balls are made of glass and easy to break, so you must know to protect them. But how? Don’t shut love out of your family by saying it’s hard to find. The quickest way to get love is to give it; the fastest way to lose is to hold it closely; and the best way to keep love is to give it wings. Don’t think that you are not so good as others. It is because we are different and each of us is special. Never mind if you fall behind others. It’s never too late to learn. Knowledge is a weightless treasure which you always carry easily.

Passage 2 (23-24九上·广西南宁第三十一中学·) You are walking down the street. Suddenly it starts to rain and you don’t have an umbrella. What do you do? Run or walk? Most people would like to run because it will get you out of the rain faster. But if you run, you also run into more raindrops (雨滴). So, what should you do? Things are more complicated (复杂的) than you might think. Franco Bocci, a professor at the University of Brescia in Italy, found that whether you should walk slowly or quickly in rain depends on the wind direction and your body shape, according to the BBC． When there is no wind, and the rain lands directly on you, Bocci suggests that you should run and hide as fast as possible. But if the wind comes from behind and blows the rain onto your back, the best thing to do is to walk at the same speed (速度) as the wind. This way, both your front and back will stay mostly dry. This is not all. When the wind blows in from the side, you’ll have to think about one more thing—your body shape. Thinner people are hit by fewer raindrops. In this case, a fatter person should run while thinner person should still try to match their speed to the wind. “In general, the best thing is to run, as fast as you can—not always, but in general.” Bocci told BBC News ,“If you’ re really thin, it’s more probable that there will be a best speed. If you’ re not thin, it is better to run fast.” Now you know what to do next time the rain catches you in the middle of the street. But the best way to stay dry is still to carry an umbrella. 根据语篇内容，选择最佳选项，并在答题卡上将选定答案的字母标号涂黑。 16．What does the underlined word “it” in Para. 2 refer to? A．Walking. B．Running.

A．Walk slowly. B．Run as fast as you can. C．Walk at the same speed as the rain. 19．If the wind comes from the side, a thin person should think about ________. A．what clothes he is wearing B．how long the rain will last C．what the speed of the wind is 20．What’s the main purpose of the passage? A．To discuss the relation between wind and rain.

A study found 52 kinds of birds have become smaller. “This is because of climate (气候) change,” said the scientists after doing the study. The shrinking (萎缩) in size follows a rule in nature called Bergmamn’s Rule. The rule says that animals in cooler areas are usually larger than those in warmer areas. Large animals are able to keep warm in cold weather. That’s why animals in cold areas are larger. As global warming affects (影响) the Earth, animals have to deal with rising temperatures. Some of them become smaller. This became well-known when scientists have studied over 70,000 kinds of birds for more than 38 years. They discovered some common birds were shrinking in size. Studies on deer, insects (昆虫) and fish also showed the same results. What does this mean for these animals? Of course the earth has been through cycles (循环) of warming and cooling. And many animals have changed to follow the changes of the environment in order to survive (生存). The difference is now the cycle is happening faster than before. So, animals may not be able to change fast enough. Besides, when animals become smaller, other things will get affected. When an animal’s body is smaller, it may not be able to give birth to (生育) as many young babies as before. This may affect the population. Some frogs live in water and with temperature rising they may face the danger of losing water faster during the drought. As they become smaller, they can’t hold the same water as before. It is possible that scientists haven’t yet fully understood how changes in size may affect the ability (能力) of animals to live on the earth. This shows the bigger problem with climate change—we are not always able to know what will happen when the Earth’s temperature keeps rising. And this is the real danger. 根据语篇内容，选择最佳选项。 1．What do we know from Paragraph 2? A．Animals living in warm places are usually big. B．Animals living in cold places are usually small. C．The larger the animal is, the better it will keep warm. 2．What might happen when some animals become smaller? ①Their ability to survive may be influenced. ②They can’t give birth to young babies. ③They may have fewer babies than before. ④Their populations may fall. A．①②③ B．①③④ C．①②④ 3．What does the underlined word “drought” mean? A．The wet weather. B．The cold-weather. C．The dry weather. 4．What’s the writer’s attitude (态度) towards the rising temperature? A．The writer is worried. B．The writer welcomes it. C．The writer doesn’t care about it. 5．What is the best title of the passage? A．The changes of animals’ living habits. B．The influences of climate change on animals. C．Different ways of living on the earth. Passage 2 (23-24九上·广西百色·期中) Shenzhou XVI spaceship successfully reached space on May 30, 2023. It marked the beginning of the Shenzhou XVI mission (任务). There are three people on the spaceship: Jing Haipeng, 57; Zhu Yangzhu, 37 and Gui Haichao, 37. There are some special facts about them. Jing is now the most experienced astronaut in China. This is the fourth time for him to fly into space. Zhu is an engineer and Gui is a scientist. Gui is also the first Chinese civilian who isn’t a soldier on a spaceflight. Both Zhu and Gui are China’s third-generation (第三代) astronauts. They were picked in 2020 from a group of researchers and engineers. One woman and seventeen men were picked. And they are in three groups. One group is spaceship pilots. They “fly” the spaceship. Another group is spaceflight engineers. They “fix” the spaceship. There is also a group of science specialists (载荷专家), such as Gui. They do scientific studies in space. Gui’s glasses also draw people’s attention because astronauts aren’t usually nearsighted (近视的). But picking specialists is different from picking other astronauts. It’s safe to wear glasses in the space station. However, during the launch (发射) and return, Gui needs to take off the glasses. The astronauts will stay inside the Tiangong space station for around five months. They will return to Earth in November. They will do spacewalks, provide help when other spaceships visit the Tiangong space station and finish many science tasks in space. 根据语篇内容，选择最佳选项。 6．What does the underlined word “civilian” mean in Chinese in the second paragraph?

Passage 3 (23-24九上·广西南宁第十八中学·期中) What makes you fall asleep? The main reason is your body clock, a time-keeper inside your body. But how to control and use your body clock? Scientists suggested having a shower before bed. Jumping into the shower (洗澡) around an hour before bed could help you sleep better. A warm shower helps you relax, and then after it warms you up, your core (核心) body temperature falls down. This encourages you to fall asleep more quickly and sleep more soundly. A study in 2019 said that a water temperature of 40.0℃ to 42.4℃ produces the best-quality (最优质的) sleep. After people lie down, most of them take about 20 minutes to fall asleep. However, if you have a shower one to two hours before going to bed, you will fall asleep 10 minutes earlier. Core body temperature falls down naturally before you sleep, then drops further during the night. It rises again when you wake up. It is thought that taking a warm shower will make the temperature fall down more quickly before bed, because it brings blood (血液) to the surface (表面) of the body, and then the heat is given out. 根据短文内容，选择最佳选项，并在答题卡上将选定答案的字母标号涂黑。 21．What did scientists advise people to do before bed to sleep better?

That’s because they are all a “failure”. On 7th June, 2017, the Museum of Failure opened in a town in Sweden. There are more than 60 failed products from all over the world on show at the museum. Dr Samuel West from Sweden set up the museum. It provides visitors with a learning experience about the important role of failure. Without laughing at failures, West hopes his museum can help us learn from our mistakes. “When we try out a new skill or learn something, it’s okay to fail,” he says. The museum also encourages companies to become better at learning from failure. One of the failed products on show is Apple Newton. It offers an example of how companies can turn failure into success. Created in 1993, Apple Newton failed to satisfy customers. Steve Jobs stopped producing it in 1998.

Passage 4 (23-24九上·广西河池宜州区·期中) Lanterns have been part of Chinese culture for centuries and play an important part in many celebrations. In ancient times, there were mainly three kinds of lanterns. Palace lantern (宫灯) It was mainly used in palaces in ancient times. When making palace lanterns, fine wood was used. The palace lanterns were covered with silk or glass. Different kinds of pictures were drawn on the covers. These lanterns were not only used as lights but also as decorations in palaces. Gauze lantern (纱灯) Less expensive bamboo and gauze were used to cover the lantern. Red gauze was used when making them. In Chinese culture, red lanterns are symbols of happiness. So red lanterns are always hung on important festivals such as the Lantern Festival, the Spring Festival and National Day in parks or along main streets. In some famous Chinatowns abroad, you can see red lanterns all the year round. They have become a symbol of Chinese culture worldwide. Shadow-picture lantern (走马灯) It was usually used for amusement. The shape was much like that of the palace lantern. There were two layers (层) of covers and pictures were drawn on the inside layer. When the candle was lit, the heat caused a paper wheel inside the lantern to turn around, so that moving pictures appeared on the outside cover. Now more kinds of lanterns appear in festivals besides the traditional ones. More modern technology is used on making lanterns. The shapes of the modern lanterns have changed a lot too. 根据语篇内容，选择最佳选项。 56．What’s a palace lantern made of? A．Wood and silk. B．Plastic and glass.

Passage 5 (23-24九上·广西柳州柳江区·期中) How do we know about things that happened thousands of years ago, when there were no videos or photos? One answer is written records. The earliest written records of Chinese culture are famous as oracle bone inscriptions (甲骨文). More than 3,000 years ago, ancient Chinese people liked to ask fortune teller (占卜师) about the future. For example, what will the weather be like next week? Where should I go to make money? Will my wife give birth to a boy or a girl? Will my son’s leg get better soon? Will we win the war this time? From work to love, from big things to small things, ancient people asked questions about many things. The fortune teller would write the question on an oracle bone, make it hot, and then read the cracks (裂纹) in it to find an answer. Tens of thousands of oracle bones have been found so far. They can tell us lots of things about how people lived in ancient times in China. “They help us understand the beginning of Chinese thought, and know where our culture comes from,” Song Zhehao, a leading oracle bones expert said. The oracle bones not only tell us about ancient Chinese culture, but also are important to understand the growth and development of the written form of the Chinese language. “Many of the Chinese words we use today are similar to those used 3,000 years ago. They also show the beautiful and special parts of a language that have been passed down year after year,” said Chen Nan, a teacher at Tsinghua University. In 2017, oracle bone inscriptions were added to the Memory of the World Register (世界记忆名录). They are a valuable memory of ancient China. 61．What can we know about oracle bone inscriptions from the passage? A．They are video tapes. B．They are written records.

C．The oracle bones are meaningful. 64．When were oracle bone inscriptions added to the Memory of the World Register? A．In 2017. B．In 2019. C．In 2021. 65．Where can we probably find the text? A．In a guide book. B．In a magazine. C．In a lost and found notice. 主题035人与社会——科普知识 Passage 1 (24-25九上·广西河池凤山县·期中) Vacation is coming to an end. How many of you have burn the midnight oil to finish your homework over the last few days? What about during the school year—when you get home from school, do you start working on your homework right away? It can be hard to be this responsible. A lot of people usually put off difficult or annoying tasks until they have to be done. They’ re called procrastinators. Procrastination is a common problem for many people. In fact, sometimes it just feels easier to wait until the last minute to do certain things. However, this is not a good thing, as you have to work hard er and faster if you wait until there is little time left. This means your work will probably be of less quality (质量). I myself am a bit of a procrastinator. But most of the time, I try to finish my work earlier rather than later. It just makes more sense—if I finish my work now, I’ll have more time to relax or work on other projects later. It can be hard to motivate (激励) myself to get started sometimes. But once I do, the work gets done quickly and with little stress. Everyone procrastinates from time to time. It’s a natural thing to do. You don’t have to beat yourself up over it—after all, we still need time to relax and take a break from our busy lives. Just make sure you still get your homework done on time! 根据短文内容，选择最佳选项。 66．What does the phrase “burn the midnight oil” in Paragraph One mean? A．Work fast. B．Stay up late. C．Break a lamp into pieces. 67．Procrastinators refer to people who ________.

How do they make it? Scientific research shows that they are born with certain unusual abilities for direction. ②A certain kind of ants, for example, can count their steps to avoid getting lost. They can go as far as 110 metres and bring food home. These ants live in the open desert, so they have nothing to guide them along the way. It’s like someone walking six kilometres through a dark forest. ③Some fish have an unbelievable sense of smell. They can smell even a single drop of their home water in a large sea area. Some sea birds have a similar ability. They are able to make a smell map of their flying area. ④Some animals can sense the earth’s magnetic field (磁场), while humans can’t. This magnetic field guides a certain kind of fish when they swim a long way to a place and then back. How can this kind of fish do that? It is still a mystery. Scientists have no good answers yet. ⑤However, animals with such unusual abilities still have difficulty dealing with environmental changes caused by human activities. For example, many birds depend on stars for direction, but they get lost easily at night when city lights are kept on all night. To solve this problem, we can simply turn off some lights at night. Clearly, one small act of humans may mean a lot to animals. 根据语篇内容，选择最佳选项。 71．How can a certain kind of ants find their way? A．By imagining the way. B．By counting their steps. C．By bringing food together. 72．Which kind of animals use magnetic field to find their way? A．Sea birds. B．A certain kind of fish. C．Frogs near the lake. 73．Where is this passage most probably from?

A．Birds’ Sense of Light B．Animals’ Sense of Direction C．Animals’ Sense of Magnetic Field Passage 3 (23-24九上·广西南宁天桃教育集团·期中) ①Can plants grow in the moon soil(土壤)? Scientists at the University of Florida in the United States seemed to find the answer. ②The moon soil brought back by astronauts on the moon was protected well because it was important to the planting work in a lab. Scientists had always hoped to do a test about the moon soil. Finally, they got the chance. This group of scientists planted some seeds(种子) in the moon soil. What made these scientists surprised was that they sprouted and began to grow. ③Scientists also made some fake(仿造的) moon soil from the earth and put the same seeds into it. The result was that the plants in the moon soil grew more slowly than those in the fake moon soil. According to scientists, the moon soil was full of things that are not good for the plant’s growth. Also, we know that the moon soil is not fertile(肥沃的). ④How to help improve this situation? One possible way was to choose the soil from the younger geological(地质的) areas on the moon and to create a better planting environment. ⑤The research could not only help to study the future of the moon but also gave people a lesson of planting things in some difficult environment on the earth. The research also made scientists think about whether it was possible to build a “greenhouse” that is good for the plant’s growth on the moon in the future. ⑥In a word, scientists believe more good things are going to happen on the moon in the future. 根据语篇内容，选择最佳选项。 76．How does the writer introduce the topic in Paragraph①?

A．Scientists built a “greenhouse” on the moon. B．Scientists have found ways to improve the situation. C．Scientists are confident about the future study of the moon. Passage 4 (23-24九上·广西防城港防城区·期中) Japan started putting nuclear-contaminated water (核污染水) into the ocean on August 24. History will never forget this day. A tsunami (海啸) hit the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant (福岛第一核电站) in Japan in 2011. It broke the nuclear reactors (核反应堆), so the reactors became very hot. Since then, workers have been using a lot of water to keep them cool. The water touches the reactors, so it has a lot of radioactive materials (放射性物质). Nuclear wastewater (核废水) is different. It’s the waste from a normal power plant. The rules on whether or not the wastewater can be put into the ocean are clear. So processed (处理过的) nuclear wastewater is often seen as safe. But nuclear-contaminated water is not. Japan tries to mix the idea of the two kinds of water. The country says that the contaminated water goes through a special purifying process (过滤程序), and that it doesn’t hurt people’s health. However, the water has more than 60 kinds of radioactive materials. Many of them are still unprocessed. “The materials will in the end hurt people’s health, Japan let loose (释放，放任) them.” Wang You, a Chinese, ocean scientist, told CCTV News. China started to stop buying seafood from Japan on August 24. Restaurants must not buy or use such seafood. As of August 28, both Russia and Thailand said that they were testing the seafood from Japan. 根据语篇内容，选择最佳选项。 81．When did the tsunami hit the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant in Japan? A．2011.

B．Japan used water to make the nuclear reactors work. C．Japan used water to cool down nuclear reactors. 83．What might happen when the nuclear-contaminated water comes into the ocean? a. We might have new kinds of seafood.    b. Human DNA might be changed. c. It might be bad for human health.    d. It might bring bad things for seawater. A．ab B．cd C．bc 84．What is the last paragraph mainly about? A．What countries are doing after Japan’s actions. B．Japan’s actions to sell their seafood. C．The foods from Japan that are unsafe. 85．The best title for this passage is “________”. A．How to deal with nuclear-contaminated water B．The seafood from Japan C．Unsafe water let loose Passage 5 (23-24九上·广西南宁三美学校·期中) You may feel that math is hard and boring. Is it possible that you’ve been looking at math in the wrong way? With International Day of Mathematics coming on March 14, Teens interviewed Li Xing, a math professor at Ning Xia University. We asked if math can be beautiful and fun. Here’s what Li said. Numbers are beautiful Many people today want to have beautiful looks. But there is math hidden in beautiful human bodies. Measure the length from your head to your belly button (肚脐眼) and from your belly button to your feet. The ratio (比例) of these two numbers is always around 0.618. This is the golden ratio, which can be seen everywhere, like in nature, music and paintings. In Chinese poems, we can also see the beauty of numbers. As Li Bai wrote, “I’ve sailed a thousand miles through Gorges in a day”, “My skiff has left ten thousand mountains far away”. “A thousand miles in one day”, “ten thousand mountains”—all these numbers show how fast Li Bai traveled and how happy he felt. Numbers give us the freedom to imagine. Curves are beautiful Sine curves (正弦曲线) are beautiful. They go towards the two opposite directions on and on without ever ending. When you look at them, you may feel like standing by the sea and watching the waves slowly moving. The tangent curve (正切曲线) is like a waterfall. That’s really “dashing down three thousand feet from on high”. If you do a math problem and get that curve, you’ll feel terrific! You may have not learned Euler’s formula: eiπ+1=0. It’s beautiful too. The number “e” is an irrational number (无理数). Its digits (位数) go on forever without repeating. “π” is also such an irrational number. However, when these two numbers come together, they can turn into a natural number! 根据语篇内容，选择最佳选项。 86．What happens if the ratio of a thing is around 0.618? A．It will look like a human body. B．It’s as long as a man’s belly button. C．It may bring people a sense of beauty. 87．Why did Li Bai write the number in his poem? A．Because he was good at math problems. B．Because he wanted to use numbers to show his feelings. C．Because he liked to imagine his travelling through numbers. 88．What does a tangent curve look like? A． B． C． 89．Which of the following can be put in ________ in the passage A．Formulas are beautiful B．”π” is lucky C．Repeating the numbers 90．What’s the main idea of the passage? A．What International Day of Maths is. B．Why maths is beautiful and fun. C．How maths helps us live better. 38 / 39 39 / 39 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 专题01 阅读理解 说明文 主题01 人与自然 Passage 1 (24-25九上·广西钦州浦北县·期中) Many scientists find that colors can change people’s feelings.

Suddenly it starts to rain and you don’t have an umbrella. What do you do? Run or walk? Most people would like to run because it will get you out of the rain faster. But if you run, you also run into more raindrops (雨滴). So, what should you do? Things are more complicated (复杂的) than you might think. Franco Bocci, a professor at the University of Brescia in Italy, found that whether you should walk slowly or quickly in rain depends on the wind direction and your body shape, according to the BBC． When there is no wind, and the rain lands directly on you, Bocci suggests that you should run and hide as fast as possible. But if the wind comes from behind and blows the rain onto your back, the best thing to do is to walk at the same speed (速度) as the wind. This way, both your front and back will stay mostly dry. This is not all. When the wind blows in from the side, you’ll have to think about one more thing—your body shape. Thinner people are hit by fewer raindrops. In this case, a fatter person should run while thinner person should still try to match their speed to the wind. “In general, the best thing is to run, as fast as you can—not always, but in general.” Bocci told BBC News ,“If you’ re really thin, it’s more probable that there will be a best speed. If you’ re not thin, it is better to run fast.” Now you know what to do next time the rain catches you in the middle of the street. But the best way to stay dry is still to carry an umbrella. 根据语篇内容，选择最佳选项，并在答题卡上将选定答案的字母标号涂黑。 16．What does the underlined word “it” in Para. 2 refer to? A．Walking. B．Running.

A．Walk slowly. B．Run as fast as you can. C．Walk at the same speed as the rain. 19．If the wind comes from the side, a thin person should think about ________.

Is it a strange fact? A study found 52 kinds of birds have become smaller. “This is because of climate (气候) change,” said the scientists after doing the study. The shrinking (萎缩) in size follows a rule in nature called Bergmamn’s Rule. The rule says that animals in cooler areas are usually larger than those in warmer areas. Large animals are able to keep warm in cold weather. That’s why animals in cold areas are larger. As global warming affects (影响) the Earth, animals have to deal with rising temperatures. Some of them become smaller. This became well-known when scientists have studied over 70,000 kinds of birds for more than 38 years. They discovered some common birds were shrinking in size. Studies on deer, insects (昆虫) and fish also showed the same results. What does this mean for these animals? Of course the earth has been through cycles (循环) of warming and cooling. And many animals have changed to follow the changes of the environment in order to survive (生存). The difference is now the cycle is happening faster than before. So, animals may not be able to change fast enough. Besides, when animals become smaller, other things will get affected. When an animal’s body is smaller, it may not be able to give birth to (生育) as many young babies as before. This may affect the population. Some frogs live in water and with temperature rising they may face the danger of losing water faster during the drought. As they become smaller, they can’t hold the same water as before. It is possible that scientists haven’t yet fully understood how changes in size may affect the ability (能力) of animals to live on the earth. This shows the bigger problem with climate change—we are not always able to know what will happen when the Earth’s temperature keeps rising. And this is the real danger. 根据语篇内容，选择最佳选项。 1．What do we know from Paragraph 2? A．Animals living in warm places are usually big. B．Animals living in cold places are usually small. C．The larger the animal is, the better it will keep warm. 2．What might happen when some animals become smaller? ①Their ability to survive may be influenced. ②They can’t give birth to young babies. ③They may have fewer babies than before. ④Their populations may fall. A．①②③ B．①③④ C．①②④ 3．What does the underlined word “drought” mean? A．The wet weather. B．The cold-weather. C．The dry weather. 4．What’s the writer’s attitude (态度) towards the rising temperature? A．The writer is worried. B．The writer welcomes it. C．The writer doesn’t care about it. 5．What is the best title of the passage? A．The changes of animals’ living habits. B．The influences of climate change on animals. C．Different ways of living on the earth. 【答案】1．C 2．B 3．C 4．A 5．B 【难度】0.65 【来源】广西壮族自治区南宁市金凯初级中学2023-2024学年九年级上学期期中英语试题 【知识点】人与动植物、科普知识、环境保护、说明文 【导语】本文主要讲述了由于气候变化导致的动物体型缩小及其影响。 1．推理判断题。根据第二段“Large animals are able to keep warm in cold weather.”可知，动物体型越大，越能更好地保暖。故选C。 2．细节理解题。根据“when animals become smaller, other things will get affected. When an animal’s body is smaller, it may not be able to give birth to as many young babies as before. This may affect the population.”可知，身体变小会影响动物的生存能力，它们可能会比以前生更少的孩子，它们的数量将下降。因此①③④表述正确，故选B。 3．词句猜测题。根据“Some frogs live in water and with temperature rising they may face the danger of losing water faster during the drought.”可知，像青蛙这样依赖水的动物在干旱期间可能会面临着更快失去水的风险。因此划线单词的意思是“干旱”。故选C。 4．观点态度题。根据“This shows the bigger problem with climate change—we are not always able to know what will happen when the Earth’s temperature keeps rising. And this is the real danger.”可知，作者对人们不能完全知道地球温度上升会如何影响动物生存表示担忧。故选A。 5．最佳标题题。本文主要讲述了由于气候变化导致的动物体型缩小及其影响，选项B“气候变化对动物的影响”符合文章主题。故选B。 Passage 2 (23-24九上·广西百色·期中) Shenzhou XVI spaceship successfully reached space on May 30, 2023. It marked the beginning of the Shenzhou XVI mission (任务). There are three people on the spaceship: Jing Haipeng, 57; Zhu Yangzhu, 37 and Gui Haichao, 37. There are some special facts about them. Jing is now the most experienced astronaut in China. This is the fourth time for him to fly into space. Zhu is an engineer and Gui is a scientist. Gui is also the first Chinese civilian who isn’t a soldier on a spaceflight. Both Zhu and Gui are China’s third-generation (第三代) astronauts. They were picked in 2020 from a group of researchers and engineers. One woman and seventeen men were picked. And they are in three groups. One group is spaceship pilots. They “fly” the spaceship. Another group is spaceflight engineers. They “fix” the spaceship. There is also a group of science specialists (载荷专家), such as Gui. They do scientific studies in space. Gui’s glasses also draw people’s attention because astronauts aren’t usually nearsighted (近视的). But picking specialists is different from picking other astronauts. It’s safe to wear glasses in the space station. However, during the launch (发射) and return, Gui needs to take off the glasses. The astronauts will stay inside the Tiangong space station for around five months. They will return to Earth in November. They will do spacewalks, provide help when other spaceships visit the Tiangong space station and finish many science tasks in space. 根据语篇内容，选择最佳选项。 6．What does the underlined word “civilian” mean in Chinese in the second paragraph? A．平民 B．懦夫 C．说客 7．What do we know about the third-generation astronauts? A．They are all men. B．There are 18 people of them. C．They are all spaceship pilots. 8．What is Gui Haichao’s job this time?

C．The three astronauts will be back to Earth in about five months. 【答案】6．A 7．B 8．C 9．A 10．C 【导语】本文讲述神舟十六号发射到太空，并简单介绍了升空的宇航员。 6．词句猜测题。根据“Zhu is an engineer and Gui is a scientist. Gui is also the first Chinese civilian who isn’t a soldier on a spaceflight.”可知，朱是工程师，桂是科学家。桂也是第一个在太空飞行中不是士兵的中国平民。此处civilian的意思是“平民”，故选A。 7．细节理解题。根据“One woman and seventeen men were picked.”可知，一名女性和17名男性被选中，所以有18个人，故选B。 8．细节理解题。根据“There is also a group of science specialists (载荷专家), such as Gui.

The main reason is your body clock, a time-keeper inside your body. But how to control and use your body clock? Scientists suggested having a shower before bed. Jumping into the shower (洗澡) around an hour before bed could help you sleep better. A warm shower helps you relax, and then after it warms you up, your core (核心) body temperature falls down. This encourages you to fall asleep more quickly and sleep more soundly. A study in 2019 said that a water temperature of 40.0℃ to 42.4℃ produces the best-quality (最优质的) sleep. After people lie down, most of them take about 20 minutes to fall asleep. However, if you have a shower one to two hours before going to bed, you will fall asleep 10 minutes earlier. Core body temperature falls down naturally before you sleep, then drops further during the night. It rises again when you wake up. It is thought that taking a warm shower will make the temperature fall down more quickly before bed, because it brings blood (血液) to the surface (表面) of the body, and then the heat is given out. 根据短文内容，选择最佳选项，并在答题卡上将选定答案的字母标号涂黑。 21．What did scientists advise people to do before bed to sleep better?

The palace lanterns were covered with silk or glass. Different kinds of pictures were drawn on the covers. These lanterns were not only used as lights but also as decorations in palaces. Gauze lantern (纱灯) Less expensive bamboo and gauze were used to cover the lantern. Red gauze was used when making them. In Chinese culture, red lanterns are symbols of happiness. So red lanterns are always hung on important festivals such as the Lantern Festival, the Spring Festival and National Day in parks or along main streets. In some famous Chinatowns abroad, you can see red lanterns all the year round. They have become a symbol of Chinese culture worldwide. Shadow-picture lantern (走马灯) It was usually used for amusement. The shape was much like that of the palace lantern. There were two layers (层) of covers and pictures were drawn on the inside layer.

One answer is written records. The earliest written records of Chinese culture are famous as oracle bone inscriptions (甲骨文). More than 3,000 years ago, ancient Chinese people liked to ask fortune teller (占卜师) about the future. For example, what will the weather be like next week? Where should I go to make money? Will my wife give birth to a boy or a girl? Will my son’s leg get better soon? Will we win the war this time? From work to love, from big things to small things, ancient people asked questions about many things. The fortune teller would write the question on an oracle bone, make it hot, and then read the cracks (裂纹) in it to find an answer. Tens of thousands of oracle bones have been found so far. They can tell us lots of things about how people lived in ancient times in China. “They help us understand the beginning of Chinese thought, and know where our culture comes from,” Song Zhehao, a leading oracle bones expert said. The oracle bones not only tell us about ancient Chinese culture, but also are important to understand the growth and development of the written form of the Chinese language. “Many of the Chinese words we use today are similar to those used 3,000 years ago. They also show the beautiful and special parts of a language that have been passed down year after year,” said Chen Nan, a teacher at Tsinghua University. In 2017, oracle bone inscriptions were added to the Memory of the World Register (世界记忆名录). They are a valuable memory of ancient China. 61．What can we know about oracle bone inscriptions from the passage? A．They are video tapes. B．They are written records.

C．To tell things that would happen in the future. 63．What do the underlined sentences in mean? A．The oracle bones are famous. B．The oracle bones are changeable. C．The oracle bones are meaningful. 64．When were oracle bone inscriptions added to the Memory of the World Register? A．In 2017. B．In 2019. C．In 2021. 65．Where can we probably find the text? A．In a guide book. B．In a magazine. C．In a lost and found notice. 【答案】61．B 62．C 63．C 64．A 65．B 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了中国的甲骨文，包括了甲骨文的用途和影响等，旨在培养学生了解中国传统文化，传播优秀文化。 61．细节理解题。根据第一段“One answer is written records.”可知，它是一种书面记录。故选B。 62．细节理解题。根据第二段“More than 3,000 years ago, ancient Chinese people liked to ask fortune teller about the future.”和“The fortune teller would write the question on an oracle bone...”可知，三千年前的中国人使用甲骨文了解未来发生的事情。故选C。 63．推理判断题。根据第四段“Many of the Chinese words we use today are similar to those used 3,000 years ago.

How do they make it? Scientific research shows that they are born with certain unusual abilities for direction. ②A certain kind of ants, for example, can count their steps to avoid getting lost. They can go as far as 110 metres and bring food home. These ants live in the open desert, so they have nothing to guide them along the way. It’s like someone walking six kilometres through a dark forest. ③Some fish have an unbelievable sense of smell. They can smell even a single drop of their home water in a large sea area. Some sea birds have a similar ability. They are able to make a smell map of their flying area. ④Some animals can sense the earth’s magnetic field (磁场), while humans can’t.

History will never forget this day. A tsunami (海啸) hit the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant (福岛第一核电站) in Japan in 2011. It broke the nuclear reactors (核反应堆), so the reactors became very hot. Since then, workers have been using a lot of water to keep them cool. The water touches the reactors, so it has a lot of radioactive materials (放射性物质). Nuclear wastewater (核废水) is different. It’s the waste from a normal power plant. The rules on whether or not the wastewater can be put into the ocean are clear. So processed (处理过的) nuclear wastewater is often seen as safe. But nuclear-contaminated water is not. Japan tries to mix the idea of the two kinds of water. The country says that the contaminated water goes through a special purifying process (过滤程序), and that it doesn’t hurt people’s health. However, the water has more than 60 kinds of radioactive materials. Many of them are still unprocessed. “The materials will in the end hurt people’s health, Japan let loose (释放，放任) them.” Wang You, a Chinese, ocean scientist, told CCTV News. China started to stop buying seafood from Japan on August 24. Restaurants must not buy or use such seafood. As of August 28, both Russia and Thailand said that they were testing the seafood from Japan. 根据语篇内容，选择最佳选项。 81．When did the tsunami hit the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant in Japan? A．2011.

Is it possible that you’ve been looking at math in the wrong way? With International Day of Mathematics coming on March 14, Teens interviewed Li Xing, a math professor at Ning Xia University. We asked if math can be beautiful and fun. Here’s what Li said. Numbers are beautiful Many people today want to have beautiful looks. But there is math hidden in beautiful human bodies. Measure the length from your head to your belly button (肚脐眼) and from your belly button to your feet. The ratio (比例) of these two numbers is always around 0.618. This is the golden ratio, which can be seen everywhere, like in nature, music and paintings. In Chinese poems, we can also see the beauty of numbers. As Li Bai wrote, “I’ve sailed a thousand miles through Gorges in a day”, “My skiff has left ten thousand mountains far away”. “A thousand miles in one day”, “ten thousand mountains”—all these numbers show how fast Li Bai traveled and how happy he felt. Numbers give us the freedom to imagine. Curves are beautiful Sine curves (正弦曲线) are beautiful. They go towards the two opposite directions on and on without ever ending. When you look at them, you may feel like standing by the sea and watching the waves slowly moving. The tangent curve (正切曲线) is like a waterfall. That’s really “dashing down three thousand feet from on high”. If you do a math problem and get that curve, you’ll feel terrific! You may have not learned Euler’s formula: eiπ+1=0. It’s beautiful too. The number “e” is an irrational number (无理数). Its digits (位数) go on forever without repeating. “π” is also such an irrational number. However, when these two numbers come together, they can turn into a natural number! 根据语篇内容，选择最佳选项。 86．What happens if the ratio of a thing is around 0.618? A．It will look like a human body. B．It’s as long as a man’s belly button. C．It may bring people a sense of beauty. 87．Why did Li Bai write the number in his poem? A．Because he was good at math problems. B．Because he wanted to use numbers to show his feelings. C．Because he liked to imagine his travelling through numbers. 88．What does a tangent curve look like? A． B． C． 89．Which of the following can be put in ________ in the passage A．Formulas are beautiful B．”π” is lucky C．Repeating the numbers 90．What’s the main idea of the passage? A．What International Day of Maths is. B．Why maths is beautiful and fun. C．How maths helps us live better. 【答案】86．C 87．B 88．C 89．A 90．B 【导语】本文通过数学在自然、艺术和诗歌中的应用，展示了数学的美丽与乐趣。 86．推理判断题。根据“The ratio (比例) of these two numbers is always around 0.618. This is the golden ratio, which can be seen everywhere, like in nature, music and paintings.”可知，黄金比例在自然界、音乐和绘画中随处可见；由此推知如果一个事物是黄金比例0.618，那么它可以带给人一种美感。故选C。 87．细节理解题。根据“As Li Bai wrote, ... all these numbers show how fast Li Bai traveled and how happy he felt.”可知，李白在诗歌中运用数字是为了表达他的速度之快，以及他快乐的心情。故选B。 88．细节理解题。根据“The tangent curve (正切曲线) is like a waterfall. That’s really ‘dashing down three thousand feet from on high’.”可知，正切曲线像瀑布，从三千英尺高的地方冲下来；结合图片，C选项符合描述。故选C。 89．最佳标题题。根据“You may have not learned Euler’s formula: eiπ+1=0. ... However, when these two numbers come together, they can turn into a natural number!”可知，本段与公式相关；再根据小标题“Numbers are beautiful”和“Curves are beautiful”可知，标题中包含“are beautiful”这两个词；选项A“公式很美”符合语境。故选A。 90．主旨大意题。通读全文可知，本文通过数学在自然、艺术和诗歌中的应用，展示了数学的美丽与乐趣。故选B。 38 / 39 39 / 39 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
