考前押题06 阅读理解（期中专项训练）-2025-2026学年九年级英语上学期期中复习(鲁教版五四制)

阅读理解专项训练 （一） ①Learning to play the piano is an exciting journey that goes beyond (超过) just pressing the right keys. It’s a journey that causes changes in brain activity over time. As we start on this musical adventure, certain parts of our brains become highly active. These parts help us remember and explain what we see, hear, and feel. However, as we progress and become more skilled, these areas of activity start to drop. ②Scientists have long been interested in the effects of learning an instrument on the brain. To explore this interesting subject, Alicia Olszewska and her team from the Nencki Institute of Experimental Biology in Poland carried out a study with 24 people learning the piano over 26 weeks. After 1, 6, 13, and 26 weeks of training, the researchers used functional magnetic resonance imaging (功能性磁共振成像) to watch the participants’ (参与者的) brain activity while they tried to play the increasingly difficult pieces. ③The result showed that playing the piano activates (激活) different areas across the brain, including the auditory cortices (听觉皮层) that are required in managing sounds and the motor cortices (运动皮层) required in the planning and making of movements. Interestingly, while the areas responsible for hearing remained relatively balanced over the 26 weeks, those required in movement presented lowered activity. A reduction in brain activity symbolizes its improvement, which would be expected as the participants’ piano-playing skills progressed, says Olszewska. ④The result also showed that learning to play the instrument activates other areas of the brain, including parts of the parietal cortex (顶叶皮层), which connect different kinds of sensory information. Furthermore, Olszewska’s team discovered that as people progress in their learning journey, parts of the brain related to memory and those controlling movement become more active. Activity in these areas similarly dropped as the participants’ training progressed. According to Olszewska, as people progress in their musical skills, their brains become more skilled at managing music. ⑤In a word, learning to play the piano is more than just developing a skill. It’s a groundbreaking experience that changes how our brains work, showing the amazing effectiveness of the human brain. 1．What happens to brain activity while learning to play the piano? A．It increases rapidly. B．It remains the same. C．It becomes balanced. D．It drops gradually. 2．What can we learn from Olszewska’s study? A．Piano playing activates areas of the brain connected with smell. B．Learning to play the piano has no effect on brain activity. C．The brain becomes better at managing music as piano skills improve. D．Brain activity increases over time when learning to play the piano. 3．What is the main idea of the passage? A．What effects music has on memory. B．What reduction in brain activity symbolizes. C．How learning to play an instrument benefits us. D．How learning the piano changes brain activity. 【答案】1．D 2．C 3．D 【导语】本文通过科学研究说明学习钢琴会改变大脑活动模式，随着技能提升，大脑管理音乐的能力会增强。 1．细节理解题。根据“However, as we progress and become more skilled, these areas of activity start to drop.”可知，随着钢琴学习技能的提升，大脑活动区域会逐渐减少。故选D。 2．细节理解题。根据“According to Olszewska, as people progress in their musical skills, their brains become more skilled at managing music.”可知，随着钢琴技能的提升，大脑在管理音乐方面会变得更高效。故选C。 3．主旨大意题。根据全文内容，尤其是第五段“In a word, learning to play the piano is more than just developing a skill. It’s a groundbreaking experience that changes how our brains work”可知，文章主要讲述学习钢琴如何改变大脑活动。故选D。 （二） There are many games in which two teams compete to get control of a ball and shoot it into the other net to score a goal. Among them, one is played in the Summer Olympic Games, and its name is “hockey”. The first sport we know like hockey was played in Egypt over 4,000 years ago. There were no records of the modern game until its appearance in English schools in the 18th century, and the first hockey club was formed in 1849 in London. During this time the game became popular among British soldiers, and they introduced it to many other countries. To this day, hockey is popular around the world. In the hockey match, players use sticks to hit, push and pass a small, hard ball. Each team has up to 16 players, of which 11 can be on the pitch (赛场) at one time. These include a goalkeeper plus 10 field players. Field players must not use any body part to control the ball. Only goalkeepers can use their hands and feet to block (阻截) or hit the ball. A hockey match usually lasts 70 minutes, with two 35-minute halves. The team with the most goals is the winner. Games can end in a draw, but if a winner must be found, such as in the World Cup or at the Olympics, a tied match will go into extra time, which is similar to some soccer games. The most important competitions for hockey are the Olympic Games, the Hockey World Cup, and the Commonwealth Games. All of these competitions are held once every four years. The biggest of hockey’s yearly competitions is the Sultan Azlan Shah Hockey Tournament. It’s been held in Malaysia every year and teams from all over the world come to take part in it. 1．What does the second paragraph mainly tell us? A．The history of hockey. B．Players in a hockey match. C．How the game works. D．Important hockey competitions. 2．How many players will play on the pitch at one time in one game? A．Ten. B．Eleven. C．Sixteen. D．Twenty-two. 3．What can we learn from the passage? A．The modern records of hockey didn’t appear in the 18th century. B．The hockey World Cup is held every year. C．Draw means the situation that one team doesn’t score any goal in a game. D．Goalkeepers can use their hands and feet to touch the ball. 4．What might be the structure of the passage? A． B． C． D． 【答案】1．A 2．D 3．D 4．C 【导语】本文围绕曲棍球展开，全面且详细地介绍了这项运动，涵盖历史、比赛规则、赛制以及重要赛事等多方面内容。 1．主旨大意题。本段主要介绍了曲棍球的历史，包括其起源、现代记录的出现、第一个曲棍球俱乐部的成立以及其传播和流行。故选A。 2．细节理解题。根据第三段“Each team has up to 16 players, of which 11 can be on the pitch (赛场) at one time.”可知，每场比赛每个团队同时有11名球员在赛场上。结合“There are many games in which two teams compete to get control of a ball and shoot it into the other net to score a goal. Among them, one is played in the Summer Olympic Games, and its name is ‘hockey’.”可知比赛中应是两个团队对抗比赛，因此场上总共有22人。故选D。 3．细节理解题。根据第三段“Only goalkeepers can use their hands and feet to block (阻截) or hit the ball.”可知，守门员可以用手和脚触球。故选D。 4．篇章结构题。根据文章内容，第一段介绍了曲棍球是一种在夏季奥运会上进行的球类运动；第二段介绍了曲棍球的历史；第三四段介绍了曲棍球比赛的球员和规则；第五段介绍了曲棍球的重要比赛。故选C。 （三） ①Work is helpful to health. Scientists find that the hard-working people live longer than those who have no jobs. Some studies tell us that the jobless are in poorer health than job-holders. The women who have jobs are healthier than housewives. ② ▲ It is because work keeps people busy, away from feeling lonely. Researches reveal (表明) that people feel unhappy and worried when they have nothing to do. The happiest people are those who are busy. Many high achievers who love their jobs feel they are the happiest when they are working hard. They work as a bridge between their dream and reality, so they have energy every day. By work, people get to know each other. By taking part in all kinds of activities, they find friendship and warmth. This is helpful to health. The loss (丧失) of work means the loss of everything. It makes people down and it will cause more illnesses. ③Besides, work makes one feel hopeful and proud. When a writer finishes his writing or a doctor successfully operates on a patient or a teacher sees his students grow, they are very happy. ④From the above, we can come to a conclusion: the more you work, the happier and healthier you will be. 1．People who have no jobs are ________ than job-holders. A．unhealthier B．happier C．healthier D．busier 2．Which of the following sentence can be put in ________? A．What can work bring to people? B．How can people keep healthy? C．Why is work good for health?

Researches reveal (表明) that people feel unhappy and worried when they have nothing to do...”可知，第二段主要在解释工作为何对健康有益。C选项“Why is work good for health?”（为什么工作对健康有益？）符合语境，可放在此处。故选C。 3．细节理解题。根据“The happiest people are those who are busy.”可知，最快乐的人是那些忙碌的人，A选项正确。故选A。 4．篇章结构题。文章第一段提出工作对健康有益这一观点；第二段和第三段分别从工作能让人忙碌、避免孤独以及带来希望和自豪等方面解释了工作为何有益健康；第四段得出结论，即工作越多就越快乐健康。故选C。 （四） As space science develops，man has learnt more and more about space.Space is not only amazing but also dangerous.While working in space，spacemen are facing many dangers. Scientists have found out that radiation（辐射）is the greatest danger to spacemen in space.When spacemen are working in space，they are in danger of radiation from the sun and other stars，which is bad for their health.The damage done by radiation won’t be discovered until their children or even grandchildren are born.Some special medicine may work a little，but no really helpful medicine has been found. Space junk（太空垃圾）is also thought as a great danger to spacemen.It’s reported that there are 9，000 man-made things flying in space.About 30％ of these are satellites（人造卫星），10％ are spaceships，and the rest are space junk.An explosion（爆炸）in 1996 made a cloud of 300，000 fragments（碎片），each at least 4mm in size，and even a small piece of the fragments knocked against a spaceship window and did some damage.Scientists are watching and reporting any possible danger all the time.They are working on helpful ways to deal with space junk. Although space is really dangerous，it interests everyone on Earth.In the near future，it may become usual for people to spend a few days in a space hotel.We may even choose to leave the Earth and live in space in a few years.So we should care for space and do something to help improve the space environment. 1.What is the greatest danger in space？ A.Space junk.　　 B.Radiation.　　 C.The sun.　　 D.Other stars. 2.What does the underlined word “these” refer to？ A.Man-made things.　　 B.Spacemen.　　 C.Dangers.　　 D.Spaceships. 3.What does the last paragraph mainly tell us？ A.Space is dangerous.　　B.What the space will look like in the future.

It used the sidewalk.This was one of the top ten jokes in a very unusual competition held in April, 2024. A small museum in southeast England held the inaugural World's Funniest Crab Joke competition. You won't be surprised to hear this is the first time this competition has taken place. It was organized by “Europe's first and only”crab museum to celebrate International Crab Day on April 26, 2024. The Crab Museum in Margate asked people to share their best crab jokes and the winners were chosen from a list of 700. The crabs themselves were asked to choose which joke they thought was the best! *After the judges--including some school children from the area一had chosen their favorite jokes, the top four were written on paper and placed in bags along with some tinned fish. These were then thrown into the local tidal (潮汐的) pool and pulled back on strings (细绳). The first one to come back with a crab that could be placed in a bucket was the winner. No rude jokes or jokes that were scientifically inaccurate (不准确的) were allowed. One of the aims of the competition was to get people thinking about crabs and nature, according to the museum. This year's winner was: A man walks into a restaurant with a crab under his arm and says, “Do you make crab cakes?” The manager answers, “Yes, we do.” “Good,” says the man, “ because it's his birthday ” The joke here is that the manager thinks the man is talking about crab cakes that you would eat at a restaurant, while the man is really talking about a birthday cake for his crab. 1.The winner from the top four jokes was picked by .

Research has shown that it is difficult to concentrate on（专注于） driving and talking at the same time.It can even be more dangerous than driving after drinking too much.A recent study found that when drivers were talking on their mobile phones，their stopping times were 30 percent slower than when they had drunk too much﹣and nearly 50 percent slower than when they were driving normally.It also found that drivers talking on mobile phones were less able to control their cars than drunk drivers. And talking isn't even the most serious problem，but texting is.Unbelievably，another recent study reported that 22% of adults admitted（承认） they had sent a text message while driving at least once in the past month.An average（平均的） text message takes 90 seconds to write and send.That means for one and a half minutes a driver is looking at their phone's screen and not at the road.The arrival of new smart phones such as the iPhone will only make things worse as they will allow users to do more things than ever before. Using a mobile phone while driving puts others' lives at risk.No matter how well we drive，if another driver is not careful，we are put in danger by their actions.Such drivers are selfish，careless and should have their driving licences（驾照） cancelled（撤销）. There is no doubt that mobile phones can be fun and are useful，especially when you're in trouble.But there is no need to use them while driving.Just wait until you stop or you will probably get into trouble of your own. 1.The underlined word "them" in Paragraph I refers to 　 　 . A.phone users B.mobile phones C.drivers D.ears 2.According to the passage，if a driver needs 10 seconds to stop when driving normally，they will need 　 　 seconds to stop when talking on a mobile phone. A.12 B.13 C.14 D.15 3.Why will new types of mobile phones make the driving problem worse？ 　 　 A.It will take longer to send text messages. B.People will want to talk on their phones more often. C.There will be more things for people to do with their phones. D.People think the new phones are easier and safer to use. 4.According to the writer，what should be done to people who use mobile phones when driving？ 　 　 A.They should be put into prison（监狱）. B.Their cars should be taken away. C.Their phones should be taken from them. D.They should not be allowed to drive any longer. 【答案】BDCD 【分析】本文是一篇议论文，主要讨论了驾驶时使用手机的危险性及其严重后果。 【解答】（1）代词指代题。根据第一段"Last year in the UK at least 45 people died and 900 more were injured（受伤的） in car accidents where drivers were using their mobile phones.Yet many people continue to use them while driving even though it's dangerous.（去年，在英国，至少有45人在司机使用手机的车祸中死亡，900多人受伤。然而，许多人在开车时继续使用它们，尽管这很危险。）可知，司机驾驶时使用手机会导致事故，但仍有很多司机继续使用手机，"them"指代上文提到的"mobile phones"。故选B。 （2）推理判断题。根据第二段"A recent study found that when drivers were talking on their mobile phones，their stopping times were 30 percent slower than when they had drunk too much﹣and nearly 50 percent slower than when they were driving normally.（最近的一项研究发现，当司机用手机通话时，他们的停车时间比喝多酒时慢30%，比正常驾驶时慢近50%。）"可知，正常停车时间为10秒时，使用手机时的停车时间会增加50%（5秒），即15秒。故选D。 （3）细节理解题。根据第三段"The arrival of new smart phones such as the iPhone will only make things worse as they will allow users to do more things than ever before."（iPhone等新智能手机的到来只会让事情变得更糟，因为它们将允许用户做比以往更多的事情。）可知，新款智能手机的面世只会加剧驾驶问题，因为它们将使人们能够完成比以往更多的事情。故选C。 （4）细节理解题。根据第四段"Such drivers are selfish，careless and should have their driving licences （驾照） cancelled （撤销）."（这些司机自私、粗心，应该吊销驾照。）可知，作者认为应吊销这些人的驾照，也就是不再允许这些人开车。故选D。 （七） American country music is also known as country western music.It has a very long history.It comes from the folk songs of immigrants（移民） from Britain. Country music uses simple music and words to express everyday feelings such as loneliness，love，and sadness.That is to say，country music describes life.It talks about friends and enemies，trucks and roads，farm and crops.People in many parts of the world like country music，because everyone can understand what the music is about. Country western music became popular first among cowboys（牛仔） in the American west countryside.Cowboys had to take care of cows day and night.When they were alone with the cows，they often sang beautiful and peaceful songs to calm the animals and to overcome their own fear.They were not well﹣educated and so they sang about their daily life in very simple words.They played guitars，violins and other instruments.In the south of America，many people added instruments from their homes，like bottles and spoons.When cowboys visited their friends and families on holidays like Thanksgiving，they usually sang and played country western music. In recent years，many musicians have made country western music a little different from the one in the past.These changes make the songs sound even better.Today singers such as Carth Brooks，Reba McEnture，Emmylou Harris，Lyle Lovett，Eddie Rabbit，LeAnn Rimes，Randy Travis and a group called Alabama are singing and playing in different styles.They have brought country western music more and more fans from all.over the world. 1.Country western music comes from the folk songs of immigrants from 　 　 .

Astronomers say the plane is around one and a halftimes as wide as our earth. *The newly discovered planet is said to be close enough to its star to be in the habitable(宜居的)zone. The second planet may be slightly(稍徵)larger than the earth and inside the same zone, The habitable zone is said to be the distance a planet has from a star at which the planet's temperature allows liquid water to exist on its surface. Georgina Dransfield of the University of Birmingham the United Kingdom, led the team behind the discovery.The team published a paper on their discovery in the Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society. Still further research on the planets will be done. Astronomers discovered the planet using NASA’S Transiting Exoplanet(外行星)Survey Satellite (TESS)Since it launched in 2018, TESS has helped astronomers discover exoplanets or worlds outside our solar system TESS detects and helps in studying asteroids, stars, and other distant galaxies. With the earth's resources slowly getting extinguished(枯竭的)，scientists have been working to discover a habitable home like our earth which humans can move to in the future. This will be done to avoid the extinction(灭绝)of the human race in case the earth becomes uninhabitable. However, we now don't have the required technology to move to different planets, and it will be many years before such technology can be developed. But you don’t need to worry, The earth still has enough resources to last thousands of years. Still, we must try to save our planet so humans and the earth don't suffer. 1. What does the underlined word “it"in the passage refer to? A. The sun in the Milky Way. B. The red dwarf star in space. C.Our own earth circling the sun. D. A super-Earth about 137 light years away. 2.What can we learn from the second paragraph? A.Two planets are both suitable for people to live on. B. The planet TOI-715b is just as large as our earth. C.Our earth is much smaller than the second planet. D.There is no water on the planet in the habitable zone. 3.What's the fifth paragraph mainly about? A.How the earth's resources change slowly.

It’s a journey that causes changes in brain activity over time. As we start on this musical adventure, certain parts of our brains become highly active. These parts help us remember and explain what we see, hear, and feel. However, as we progress and become more skilled, these areas of activity start to drop. ②Scientists have long been interested in the effects of learning an instrument on the brain. To explore this interesting subject, Alicia Olszewska and her team from the Nencki Institute of Experimental Biology in Poland carried out a study with 24 people learning the piano over 26 weeks. After 1, 6, 13, and 26 weeks of training, the researchers used functional magnetic resonance imaging (功能性磁共振成像) to watch the participants’ (参与者的) brain activity while they tried to play the increasingly difficult pieces. ③The result showed that playing the piano activates (激活) different areas across the brain, including the auditory cortices (听觉皮层) that are required in managing sounds and the motor cortices (运动皮层) required in the planning and making of movements. Interestingly, while the areas responsible for hearing remained relatively balanced over the 26 weeks, those required in movement presented lowered activity. A reduction in brain activity symbolizes its improvement, which would be expected as the participants’ piano-playing skills progressed, says Olszewska. ④The result also showed that learning to play the instrument activates other areas of the brain, including parts of the parietal cortex (顶叶皮层), which connect different kinds of sensory information. Furthermore, Olszewska’s team discovered that as people progress in their learning journey, parts of the brain related to memory and those controlling movement become more active. Activity in these areas similarly dropped as the participants’ training progressed. According to Olszewska, as people progress in their musical skills, their brains become more skilled at managing music. ⑤In a word, learning to play the piano is more than just developing a skill. It’s a groundbreaking experience that changes how our brains work, showing the amazing effectiveness of the human brain. 1．What happens to brain activity while learning to play the piano? A．It increases rapidly. B．It remains the same. C．It becomes balanced. D．It drops gradually. 2．What can we learn from Olszewska’s study? A．Piano playing activates areas of the brain connected with smell. B．Learning to play the piano has no effect on brain activity. C．The brain becomes better at managing music as piano skills improve. D．Brain activity increases over time when learning to play the piano. 3．What is the main idea of the passage? A．What effects music has on memory. B．What reduction in brain activity symbolizes. C．How learning to play an instrument benefits us. D．How learning the piano changes brain activity. （二） There are many games in which two teams compete to get control of a ball and shoot it into the other net to score a goal. Among them, one is played in the Summer Olympic Games, and its name is “hockey”. The first sport we know like hockey was played in Egypt over 4,000 years ago. There were no records of the modern game until its appearance in English schools in the 18th century, and the first hockey club was formed in 1849 in London. During this time the game became popular among British soldiers, and they introduced it to many other countries. To this day, hockey is popular around the world. In the hockey match, players use sticks to hit, push and pass a small, hard ball. Each team has up to 16 players, of which 11 can be on the pitch (赛场) at one time. These include a goalkeeper plus 10 field players. Field players must not use any body part to control the ball. Only goalkeepers can use their hands and feet to block (阻截) or hit the ball. A hockey match usually lasts 70 minutes, with two 35-minute halves. The team with the most goals is the winner. Games can end in a draw, but if a winner must be found, such as in the World Cup or at the Olympics, a tied match will go into extra time, which is similar to some soccer games. The most important competitions for hockey are the Olympic Games, the Hockey World Cup, and the Commonwealth Games. All of these competitions are held once every four years. The biggest of hockey’s yearly competitions is the Sultan Azlan Shah Hockey Tournament. It’s been held in Malaysia every year and teams from all over the world come to take part in it. 1．What does the second paragraph mainly tell us? A．The history of hockey. B．Players in a hockey match. C．How the game works. D．Important hockey competitions. 2．How many players will play on the pitch at one time in one game? A．Ten. B．Eleven. C．Sixteen. D．Twenty-two. 3．What can we learn from the passage? A．The modern records of hockey didn’t appear in the 18th century. B．The hockey World Cup is held every year. C．Draw means the situation that one team doesn’t score any goal in a game. D．Goalkeepers can use their hands and feet to touch the ball. 4．What might be the structure of the passage? A． B． C． D． （三） ①Work is helpful to health. Scientists find that the hard-working people live longer than those who have no jobs. Some studies tell us that the jobless are in poorer health than job-holders. The women who have jobs are healthier than housewives. ② ▲ It is because work keeps people busy, away from feeling lonely. Researches reveal (表明) that people feel unhappy and worried when they have nothing to do. The happiest people are those who are busy. Many high achievers who love their jobs feel they are the happiest when they are working hard. They work as a bridge between their dream and reality, so they have energy every day. By work, people get to know each other. By taking part in all kinds of activities, they find friendship and warmth. This is helpful to health. The loss (丧失) of work means the loss of everything. It makes people down and it will cause more illnesses. ③Besides, work makes one feel hopeful and proud. When a writer finishes his writing or a doctor successfully operates on a patient or a teacher sees his students grow, they are very happy. ④From the above, we can come to a conclusion: the more you work, the happier and healthier you will be. 1．People who have no jobs are ________ than job-holders. A．unhealthier B．happier C．healthier D．busier 2．Which of the following sentence can be put in ________? A．What can work bring to people? B．How can people keep healthy? C．Why is work good for health? D．What can people do to work better? 3．What is True according to the passage? A．The happiest people are those who are busy. B．Work can make people feel tired and lonely. C．The loss of work will cause fewer illnesses. D．Work makes one feel hopeless. 4．How is the passage organized (组织)? A． B． C． D． （四） As space science develops，man has learnt more and more about space.Space is not only amazing but also dangerous.While working in space，spacemen are facing many dangers. Scientists have found out that radiation（辐射）is the greatest danger to spacemen in space.When spacemen are working in space，they are in danger of radiation from the sun and other stars，which is bad for their health.The damage done by radiation won’t be discovered until their children or even grandchildren are born.Some special medicine may work a little，but no really helpful medicine has been found. Space junk（太空垃圾）is also thought as a great danger to spacemen.It’s reported that there are 9，000 man-made things flying in space.About 30％ of these are satellites（人造卫星），10％ are spaceships，and the rest are space junk.An explosion（爆炸）in 1996 made a cloud of 300，000 fragments（碎片），each at least 4mm in size，and even a small piece of the fragments knocked against a spaceship window and did some damage.Scientists are watching and reporting any possible danger all the time.They are working on helpful ways to deal with space junk. Although space is really dangerous，it interests everyone on Earth.In the near future，it may become usual for people to spend a few days in a space hotel.We may even choose to leave the Earth and live in space in a few years.So we should care for space and do something to help improve the space environment. 1.What is the greatest danger in space？ A.Space junk.　　 B.Radiation.　　 C.The sun.　　 D.Other stars. 2.What does the underlined word “these” refer to？ A.Man-made things.　　 B.Spacemen.　　 C.Dangers.　　 D.Spaceships. 3.What does the last paragraph mainly tell us？ A.Space is dangerous.　　B.What the space will look like in the future. C.What people will do in space.　　D.People should care for space. 4.What can be the best title for the passage？ A.How to protect space　　B.The dangers in space C.How to avoid the dangers in space　　D.The success and dangers in space （五） Here's a joke for you: Why did the crab(螃蟹)cross the road? It didn't. It used the sidewalk.This was one of the top ten jokes in a very unusual competition held in April, 2024. A small museum in southeast England held the inaugural World's Funniest Crab Joke competition. You won't be surprised to hear this is the first time this competition has taken place. It was organized by “Europe's first and only”crab museum to celebrate International Crab Day on April 26, 2024. The Crab Museum in Margate asked people to share their best crab jokes and the winners were chosen from a list of 700. The crabs themselves were asked to choose which joke they thought was the best! *After the judges--including some school children from the area一had chosen their favorite jokes, the top four were written on paper and placed in bags along with some tinned fish. These were then thrown into the local tidal (潮汐的) pool and pulled back on strings (细绳). The first one to come back with a crab that could be placed in a bucket was the winner. No rude jokes or jokes that were scientifically inaccurate (不准确的) were allowed. One of the aims of the competition was to get people thinking about crabs and nature, according to the museum. This year's winner was: A man walks into a restaurant with a crab under his arm and says, “Do you make crab cakes?” The manager answers, “Yes, we do.” “Good,” says the man, “ because it's his birthday ” The joke here is that the manager thinks the man is talking about crab cakes that you would eat at a restaurant, while the man is really talking about a birthday cake for his crab. 1.The winner from the top four jokes was picked by .

Research has shown that it is difficult to concentrate on（专注于） driving and talking at the same time.It can even be more dangerous than driving after drinking too much.A recent study found that when drivers were talking on their mobile phones，their stopping times were 30 percent slower than when they had drunk too much﹣and nearly 50 percent slower than when they were driving normally.It also found that drivers talking on mobile phones were less able to control their cars than drunk drivers. And talking isn't even the most serious problem，but texting is.Unbelievably，another recent study reported that 22% of adults admitted（承认） they had sent a text message while driving at least once in the past month.An average（平均的） text message takes 90 seconds to write and send.That means for one and a half minutes a driver is looking at their phone's screen and not at the road.The arrival of new smart phones such as the iPhone will only make things worse as they will allow users to do more things than ever before. Using a mobile phone while driving puts others' lives at risk.No matter how well we drive，if another driver is not careful，we are put in danger by their actions.Such drivers are selfish，careless and should have their driving licences（驾照） cancelled（撤销）. There is no doubt that mobile phones can be fun and are useful，especially when you're in trouble.But there is no need to use them while driving.Just wait until you stop or you will probably get into trouble of your own. 1.The underlined word "them" in Paragraph I refers to 　 　 . A.phone users B.mobile phones C.drivers D.ears 2.According to the passage，if a driver needs 10 seconds to stop when driving normally，they will need 　 　 seconds to stop when talking on a mobile phone. A.12 B.13 C.14 D.15 3.Why will new types of mobile phones make the driving problem worse？ 　 　 A.It will take longer to send text messages. B.People will want to talk on their phones more often. C.There will be more things for people to do with their phones. D.People think the new phones are easier and safer to use. 4.According to the writer，what should be done to people who use mobile phones when driving？ 　 　 A.They should be put into prison（监狱）. B.Their cars should be taken away. C.Their phones should be taken from them. D.They should not be allowed to drive any longer. （七） American country music is also known as country western music.It has a very long history.It comes from the folk songs of immigrants（移民） from Britain. Country music uses simple music and words to express everyday feelings such as loneliness，love，and sadness.That is to say，country music describes life.It talks about friends and enemies，trucks and roads，farm and crops.People in many parts of the world like country music，because everyone can understand what the music is about. Country western music became popular first among cowboys（牛仔） in the American west countryside.Cowboys had to take care of cows day and night.When they were alone with the cows，they often sang beautiful and peaceful songs to calm the animals and to overcome their own fear.They were not well﹣educated and so they sang about their daily life in very simple words.They played guitars，violins and other instruments.In the south of America，many people added instruments from their homes，like bottles and spoons.When cowboys visited their friends and families on holidays like Thanksgiving，they usually sang and played country western music. In recent years，many musicians have made country western music a little different from the one in the past.These changes make the songs sound even better.Today singers such as Carth Brooks，Reba McEnture，Emmylou Harris，Lyle Lovett，Eddie Rabbit，LeAnn Rimes，Randy Travis and a group called Alabama are singing and playing in different styles.They have brought country western music more and more fans from all.over the world. 1.Country western music comes from the folk songs of immigrants from 　 　 .

A.Americans Love American Country Music B.The History of American Country Music C.Singers and Fans of American Country Music D.All Kinds of American Music，Yesterday and Today （八） At school，students learn different subjects like English，math，art and so on.They learn these subjects in the classroom.These days，a new subject becomes popular in many schools!That is school gardening.Students learn it outside the classroom.It is not only an interesting subject，but also a great way to keep healthy. In the gardening class，students can go outside and get fresh air.More importantly，they can learn a lot.When some young students have food，they always ask，"Where does the rice come from？"In this class，they can get the answer.And they can learn to do things with their own hands.They can also learn some teamwork skills and care about nature，others and themselves. Keeping a school garden is difficult，but teachers are trying to make it work.Some schools can have gardens inside，but other schools are small.So teachers turn to gardens and parks near the school. The school garden doesn't have to be very big.Students can have a lot of fun in it.At first，teachers decide what vegetables to grow.Then they grow them with students.Carrots and tomatoes are their favorites because it is nice for them to get a carrot or a tomato，wash it and eat it right in the garden.Some vegetables are easy to grow，but others need a long time.This can teach students hard work pays off. Gardening is as important as any other subject.Students should learn it at school. 1.Where do students learn school gardening？ 　 　 A.In the classroom. B.In a library. C.Under a tree. D.Outside the classroom. 2.What is the gardening class like according to the passage？ 　 　 A.Interesting. B.Difficult. C.Boring.

B.The garden in the school must be big enough. C.Schools are supposed to have gardening as a subject. D.There will be more outdoor subjects for students. （九） Astronomers(天文学家)have discovered“super-Earth”,or a world larger than our planet, orbiting a star about l37 light years away, The planet, known as TOl-71$b, orbits a red dwarf star (矮星) that is smaller and cooler than our sun, and a second planet could also be orbiting it. Astronomers say the plane is around one and a halftimes as wide as our earth. *The newly discovered planet is said to be close enough to its star to be in the habitable(宜居的)zone. The second planet may be slightly(稍徵)larger than the earth and inside the same zone, The habitable zone is said to be the distance a planet has from a star at which the planet's temperature allows liquid water to exist on its surface. Georgina Dransfield of the University of Birmingham the United Kingdom, led the team behind the discovery.The team published a paper on their discovery in the Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society. Still further research on the planets will be done. Astronomers discovered the planet using NASA’S Transiting Exoplanet(外行星)Survey Satellite (TESS)Since it launched in 2018, TESS has helped astronomers discover exoplanets or worlds outside our solar system TESS detects and helps in studying asteroids, stars, and other distant galaxies. With the earth's resources slowly getting extinguished(枯竭的)，scientists have been working to discover a habitable home like our earth which humans can move to in the future. This will be done to avoid the extinction(灭绝)of the human race in case the earth becomes uninhabitable. However, we now don't have the required technology to move to different planets, and it will be many years before such technology can be developed. But you don’t need to worry, The earth still has enough resources to last thousands of years. Still, we must try to save our planet so humans and the earth don't suffer. 1. What does the underlined word “it"in the passage refer to? A. The sun in the Milky Way. B. The red dwarf star in space. C.Our own earth circling the sun. D. A super-Earth about 137 light years away. 2.What can we learn from the second paragraph? A.Two planets are both suitable for people to live on. B. The planet TOI-715b is just as large as our earth. C.Our earth is much smaller than the second planet. D.There is no water on the planet in the habitable zone. 3.What's the fifth paragraph mainly about? A.How the earth's resources change slowly. B.Why scientists are searching for another earth. C.Whether the earth will become uninhabitable or not. D.What should be done to avoid the extinction of the human race. 4.According to the last paragraph, the writer agrees that . A.moving to another planet is not possible yet B. we're suffering a lot from our planet now C. our resources on the earth won't be extinguished D.humans will move to different planets in the near future （十） DeepSeek is a Chinese AI company and it's becoming really successful.
