专题02 阅读理解(应用文+说明文) 主题01 人与自我——学习与健康 Passage 1 (23-24九上·湖北武汉洪山区·期末) Energetic music fills the air as students move their arms and dance along to do aerobic exercises (有氧体操). This semester, students at the Aerospace City School of RDFZ in Beijing have more fun activities. “Students have different physical conditions after recovering from the Disease,” Wang Lifang, a PE teacher at the school, told a local TV station. “So we start from easier activities such as dancing, fun games and sit-ups to gradually improve students’ physical health.” The PE teachers designed a series of aerobic exercises, which can train students’ core (核心), upper body and leg strength. To make sure everyone is safe, the school also uses wearable devices to keep track of students’ heart rates during exercises. “The music is happy and relaxing, and we all enjoy this kind of fun PE class,” said eighth-grader Tu Yahan. At Taipingchuan No. 1 Middle School in Jilin, students began to do Tai Chi instead of running during the morning break. “I like doing Tai Chi because it won’t make you out of breath. I think it’s good for students who are still coughing these days,” said Liu Jiawei from the school. But this doesn’t mean that students will not do other regular sports anymore. According to Wang, the PE teachers will keep changing training plans based on students’ conditions and gradually go back to normal teaching content. “During this special period of time, it’s even more important to let students realize the value of sports and develop healthy exercise habits,” said Wang. 1．Aerobic exercises are added in PE classes because they ________.

It symbolizes the hopes and best wishes. The upcoming Year of the Snake is no exception. Usually, the upper and lower couplets are related, like “old” (in upper) and “new” (in lower). ________ During Chinese New Year’s Eve, the tradition of “Shousui” or staying up late is to pray (祈福) for the longevity of elders. Families gather, keeping awake to show respect and ensure their seniors' health by adding years to their lives. This custom, filled with love and unity, strengthens family bonds and invites blessings for a harvest year ahead.“Nian Nian You Yu”— Great Hope for a Good Fortune The Chinese tradition of having fish during Spring Festival, symbolizing “Nian Nian You Yu”, has an interesting origin. It’s said that in ancient times, a village in famine (饥荒) was saved when they unexpectedly caught plenty of fish.

In early Tang Dynasty, it was introduced to Japan and Korea, so it was called the “Tang Umbrella”. Later oil paper umbrellas were spread to other Asian countries, such as Vietnam, Thailand and Laos, and each had its own style. However; as steel-ribbed (钢骨的) umbrellas appeared in the last century, the hand-made oil paper umbrellas became less used in daily life. They were turned into decorative artifacts now. ________________         Among all the pen productions, writing brush is a kind of special writing tool made in China mainly. Nowadays, Chinese people still practice calligraphy with writing brush from a very young age. When writing, many people will forget all worries and even themselves, turning all thoughts into the beauty of art. People think it helps improve a person’s temper. It is not only a means of communication, but also a means of expressing a person’s inner world. A new life for Pipa         Pipa is a four-stringed (弦) instrument with a history of more than 2,000 years. But now, something new is happening. In some traditional music concerts, VR technology is used in Pipa performance to bring the starry sky or the beautiful sandy view of Dunhuang to the music hall.

Passage 3 (23-24九上·湖北武汉武昌区·期末) Hands and feet can easily get cold in winter. Thick gloves might be a good choice, yet sometimes wearing them is inconvenient, especially when people want to do something with their hands. However, this was not a problem for ancient Chinese people, who had a fine tool to keep their hands warm—hand warmers. About the origin (起源), there is no exact written record, but ★ . One folk story is about Emperor Yang from the Sui Dynasty visiting Jiangsu in the winter. Due to the bitter cold, craftsmen (工匠) were required to make a small warmer for the emperor to hold in hand. Thus the hand warmer was created. Later in the Song Dynasty, the tool was in widespread use. Skills for producing the tool were widely employed in the Ming and Qing dynasties. And many books recorded people using hand warmers. The Dream of the Red Chamber, the classic novel by Cao Xueqin from the Qing Dynasty, described a servant sending a hand warmer to Lin Daiyu in one chapter. Made of different materials, ancient hand warmers had lots of fine designs, such as pumpkins, flowers and turtle shells. The designs preferred animals or symbols with good meanings. Inside a hand warmer, there were burning charcoal (木炭) or simple coals. Some coals were blended with broken pieces and pressed into flower shapes, giving off a pleasant smell when burnt. This useful and fine tool is a symbol of craftsmanship of ancient China. 11．In Paragraph 1, thick gloves are mentioned mainly to ________.

This unexpected (出乎意料的) experience led to a valuable friendship between Billy and the otter, whom he named Molly.     Billy and his wife Susan moved to this lonely Scottish island from Aberdeen several years ago. At that time, they didn’t expect to find a new friend from the sea. When the couple first noticed Molly, she was really thin and hungry, as if her bones were almost sticking out. And they believed that Molly’s mother had been killed in a road accident, which led to her having to support herself. Later, Molly became a regular visitor to their garden to look for food, especially in winter. ★ For example, when Billy and Susan were working in the yard, Molly always came close to see what her friends were doing. And this bond (纽带，联系) grew closer as they continued to care for Molly, teaching her new skills and even introducing her to their collie, Jade. And to their joy, Molly and Jade learned to stand each other. Sometimes, the dog would even share his food with this visitor peacefully. Their story caught the attention of the wildlife cameraman Charlie Hamilton James. Touched by the story, Charlie spent over a year filming a documentary named Billy & Molly. The film beautifully captures (捕捉) the heartwarming relationship between Billy and Molly. Billy hopes this documentary will encourage others to appreciate the friendship between humans and wildlife.

The film allows them to “tell” their story about “communicating” with the local people in Chashu Village, Southwest China’s Chongqing. When the Canadian walked into the village, surprises kept coming. It is a quiet village that planted tea trees thousands of years ago. The local tea trees are so tall that people need ladders (梯子) to pick their leaves. Besides, people in the village live a peaceful and happy life in harmony (和谐) with nature. That also struck him. “In Canada, the protection of nature sometimes keeps people away from it. I never thought they can live together. On our way into this village, I saw lots of houses hugged by the trees, which was truly surprising,” says Luchkow. He adds, “The scene was so beautiful, just like a picture postcard which you know must be sent from China.” Soon he was able to set the tone (基调) for the film, which shows a silent dialogue between trees and people. For thousands of years, from generation (一代人) to generation, the tea trees have been receiving people’s care and protection. “I think if the trees could speak, they might want to give thanks to the villagers. That’s what I tried to express through the film,” says the director. In the process of filming, Luchkow found the well-known Canadian coffee brand Tim Hortons had set up shops in Chongqing. Wu Ke, one of the many young locals who choose to stay in their hometown to make tea, finds himself fall in love with coffee, too. While local Chinese get used to drinking coffee nowadays, Luchkow’s friends back in Canada enjoy Chinese tea a lot. “The communication between tea and coffee is like the exchanges between people,” he says. 6．Which picture may be the scene of the film The Tree Listens?

Especially for public persons, there’s often a hidden pressure. People often show anger toward them on social media (媒体) because of their unintentional (不经意的) decisions.     The Olympic champion (冠军) Quan Hongchan suffered from this. According to reports, Quan returned to Guangzhou after attending an event. During her trip, she stopped by an Apple store to buy a phone for her family. This should have been a simple personal choice, but it quickly drew attention on social media. Some people said she didn’t love our country just because she chose a foreign brand.     This situation raises questions about how society sees famous people and their personal choices. Should athletes be treated so strictly for such decisions? The answer is, of course, no, Quan has the same rights as anyone to make personal decisions, including which products to buy Being a public person doesn’t mean giving up the freedom (自由) to make ordinary choices. As a teenager, she should be allowed to enjoy privacy (隐私) like anyone else.     However, public persons like Quan often suffer from too much attention from the public Since her Olympic win in 2021, Quan’s life has been under a microscope (显微镜) . The media and fans follow her every move. From her family members’ activities to her personal shopping trips, her life has been turned into a public thing. This kind of attention creates big pressure, turning what should be a kind of pride into a kind of stress.     It’s time to consider why the public pay more attention to her personal choices than her real achievements. Quan is an Olympic champion who has brought pride to our country with her athletic skills. Instead of paying too much attention to small matters like her choice of phone, the public should celebrate her hard work in sports and the fame she has won for our country on the world stage. After all, public persons enjoy the same freedom as anyone else to live their lives. 1．What does “hidden pressure” for public persons refer to? A．People care about them.

As the weekend went on, he won two other gold medals. By the time he was in fifth grade, Stolz was winning national championships. In high school, he went to school online so that he could train for up to six hours a day. In February, 2023, Stolz won four gold medals. The medals were for 500-meter, 1000-meter, and 5000-meter races, and the team sprint (短跑). An American Speedcuber Stanley Chapel, one of the world’s fastest “speedcubers”, who can quickly solve a Rubik’s Cube (魔方). He also is a skilled violinist. Stanley says the two fields go hand in hand. Not only does Chapel say he has equal interest in both, but the 21-year-old boy says the violin helps him succeed in speed cubing.

But how can we realize them? Recently, this idea came to life in China in a clever way in a famous scenic spot (风景区) in Dunhuang, Northwest China’s Gansu Province. With the arrival of the tourist season, the scenic spot has been crowded with visitors around 20,000 a day since July. With so many people, the challenge of managing waste has become more serious, putting cleaners under pressure. So, the scenic spot came up with a fun way to help: “Trash hunt for gifts.” Here’s how it works: Visitors are given trash bags and encouraged to pick up litter around the site (地点). In return, they get small gifts showing Dunhuang’s rich culture. Isn’t this another good form of the three Rs spirit? I still remember going to some scenic spots, especially historical sites where people gather in a small area. At these places littering is something we always have to try hard to deal with. Not only does it influence the cleanliness of a site, but it is also likely to harm the natural environment. So, when I saw how the “Trash hunt for gifts” program was carried out, it was clear this way was more than just a trick to attract attention. It was truly an effort to encourage a culture of responsibility and care. The activity does more than just cleaning up the area. It turns every visitor into an environmental guard, actively taking part in protecting the beauty of the site. ★ Other places in China are also doing similar things. It’s great to see that tourists are not just enjoying the sights, but also helping to protect them. Turning tourists into environmental guards is a new and exciting way to keep our scenic spots clean and beautiful for everyone to enjoy. It’s a reminder that while we enjoy the beauty around us, we also have the power to protect it. 1．In which picture can we see “Trash hunt for gifts”? A． B． C． D． 2．How do visitors take part in “Trash hunt for gifts”? A．By buying trash bags. B．By picking up trash. C．By giving out gifts. D．By spreading Dunhuang culture. 3．From the passage, we can know that “Trash hunt for gifts” program ________. A．was started by visitors in Dunhuang B．was aimed at drawing public attention C．forced visitors to clean up the spots D．helped to make it easier for cleaners 4．Which of the following can be put in ★ ? A．The idea is spreading B．People love the gifts C．Dunhuang becomes more attractive D．Visitors become more active 5．What’s the purpose of the passage? A．To explain what the three Rs are. B．To show how to face challenges during the trip. C．To introduce a new way of travelling. D．To encourage people to be guardians of nature. Passage 2 (23-24九上·湖北武汉江岸区·期末) Looking up in the sky, you can only see one or two stars at most. This is because in 80 percent of the world, light pollution is turning night into day. When artificial light (人造光) and natural light mix together, insects, birds and even plants are affected seriously. A 2022 report surveyed more than 160 species (物种) to understand how artificial light changes ecosystem. The researchers found that animals watched the light of the sun and moon to plan their activities. Breaking the law of light can affect all kinds of wildlife. Birds are easy to get lost because of bright city lights. The short-wave blue light produced by LED bulbs (灯泡) will attract more insects and birds. Fireflies (萤火虫) light the forests. They communicate with each other through their own light, but artificial light mixes the messages they want to express, making it harder for them to live. Unlike air and water pollution, light pollution can be solved immediately. Reducing light pollution is simple by turning off the lights, limiting the time on or reducing the light from a single bulb. Asalam, a scientist, said, “The type of light that we use is very important. For birds, if you use warmer, yellow light, you won’t have so much effect on them.” Street lights and outdoor lights with lampshades (灯罩) can concentrate light directly where we need it, preventing them from leaking (泄露) outward or upward. Closing your blinds (百叶窗) and closing the curtains will prevent artificial light from entering the environment. A study found that simply halving the light outside the window reduced the birds’ effects by 60 percent. In order to protect our friends living on the same earth, please let our city be dark. 6．The 2022 report showed us that ________. A．natural light surely changes ecosystem B．artificial light affects all kinds of wildlife C．animals plan their activities by mixing messages D．researchers found out the law of nature 7．Why does the writer mention “birds” and “fireflies” in Paragraph 2? A．To make a prediction. B．To raise a question. C．To compare facts. D．To give examples. 8．What pollution is the easiest to solve according to the passage? A．Light pollution. B．Water pollution. C．White pollution. D．Air pollution. 9．Which bulb will a bird lover choose? A．A bulb with strong light    . B．A bulb with warm and yellow light. C．A LED bulb with blue light. D．A bulb without a lampshade. 10．The writer wants to call us to ________. A．set up a wild-life park B．put up a research base C．make rules and laws of nature D．live in harmony with nature 主题03 人与自然——科普知识 Passage 1 (24-25九上·湖北武汉武昌区·期末) Believe it or not, we know more about space than we do about the deep ocean. Since 1969. a total of 12 people have walked on the moon, but only three have dived (潜水) to the Mariana Trench’s deepest point. As we all know, it’s very challenging to explore Qomolangma, the Sahara Desert, and the Amazon Rainforest. However, the Mariana Trench’s conditions and depth of about 11, 000 meters make it the most difficult to explore. Even more shocking-Although the ocean covers about 71% of the Earth’s surface, 95% of it is unexplored. Historically, people explored the ocean just to find ways to travel around the world or to start new trades. Also, to early people, the ocean was a scary place, full of dangerous creatures. They thought that, the deep ocean was dark and lifeless. Furthermore, cold temperatures and huge water pressure prevented ocean exploration, too. Diving into the Mariana Trench, for example, would make you feel like having 50 jumbo jets (巨型喷气式飞机) pressing down on you. However, the ocean influences everyone in lots of things, from the air we breathe, the food we cat, transportation, medicine, to weather and climate. And the deep ocean holds a huge amount of oil, gas and so on. Therefore, ocean exploration has always been a big dream of humans in modern times. In recent years, thanks to new technology like improved submarines (潜艇), robots and cameras, humans have been able to explore the deeper sea. On November 17th, 2024, China made a huge breakthrough in deep-sea exploration with its “Mengxiang” ship. With the world’s top drilling system (钻探系统), this amazing ship can reach up to 11, 000 meters below the sea surface, allowing scientists to study and learn more about the earth. The “Mengxiang” ship is the pride of our nation, pushing the limits of what we know and can achieve. Let’s see how much further China can go in ocean exploration in the future! 1．Which picture may best show the Mariana Trench? A． B． C． D． 2．What BIG question does Paragraph 2 focus on? A．What does a jumbo jet look like? B．When did ocean exploration begin? C．How is space different from the ocean? D．Why is so much of the ocean unexplored? 3．The ocean is important because _________. A．it brings humans a lot of challenges B．it provides humans with necessary things C．it influences every field in our daily life D．it covers a quarter of the Earth’s surface 4．According to the passage, the “Mengxiang” ship _________. a. makes the whole world proud b. carries the Chinese dream c. can explore outer spaced. shows China’s great power A．a, c B．b, c C．b, d D．a, d 5．What’s the writer’s attitude (态度) towards today’s ocean exploration? A．Hopeful. B．Doubtful. C．Worried. D．Uncertain. Passage 2 (23-24九上·湖北武汉青山区·期末) Think about how many ways there are for you to communicate today. You can send a letter or pick up the phone and make a call. But today, one of the most popular ways to communicate is called instant messaging (即时信息) (IM). In any instant messaging system (系统), you type a little text message on your computer, press the “Send” button, and your message instantly shows up on your friend’s screen. But how does it work? Actually, the whole process is very cool. In the 1980s, you could sit down at a computer at any big university. Up to 100 people would be logged in (登录) and share the computer because the computers were very expensive at that time. You could type a command (指令) to send an instant message to anyone logged in the same computer. It felt like everyone was connected together no matter where they were sitting. Today, you can communicate with anyone in the world. All you need is an instant messaging program installed (安装) on your computer. There are many programs to choose from. AOL’s instant messenger is probably the most popular right now. MSN has one. Google has Google Talk. When you’re ready, you create an account (账户). Next, you need to find out the IM names your friends use. Add their IM names to your IM program. Click on the friend you want to talk to and then type away. When you click “Send”, your friend gets the message instantly. However, behind the scenes, amazing things are happening. Your IM program is communicating with a computer called a server. All your friends’ computers are communicating with a server, too. Your computer is often chatting with it to make everything happen. The network called the Internet makes it all possible. 6．How did people get messages instantly in the 1980s? A．By sharing the same computer. B．By making a call. C．By sending a letter. D．By visiting each other. 7．From the passage we can see that “AOL” is ________. A．an IM program B．a computer company C．a famous website D．a kind of search engine 8．What do we know about the process of sending an IM? A．You should create an account first. B．You can add your names to the program. C．Your friend can get the message after you click “Send”. D．You should type away the message before you click on your friend. 9．The underlined word “server” most probably refers to __________. A．a message B．the network C．the Internet D．a computer 10．The best title for the passage can be __________. A．Development of Communication B．Different Ways of Communication C．How to Send Instant Messages D．The Easiest Way to Talk to a Friend 主题01 人与自我——哲理感悟 Passage 1 (23-24九上·湖北武汉东西湖区·期末) Does life sometimes seem to be full of impossible problems? How many times, for example, do you find yourself saying things like “I really don’t understand this maths problem”, or “I can’t get into the school team”? Well, maybe it’s time to introduce yourself to the power of “yet”. By adding this simple word, you can change everything. “I really don’t understand this maths problem yet.” “I can’t get into the school team yet.” Suddenly, the impossible becomes possible. You can imagine those things happening. I read about a school that has changed the way it marks its students’ exams. The school find out that the old “pass/fail” system wasn’t helping students’ motivation. If you passed, then great, but those students who didn’t pass often felt like failures. So now students who don’t pass the exams will not see a big red “F” on their papers—they see a “”Not yet” instead. ________. They haven’t reached the end, but they know that they are going the right way. This kind of thinking is part of what experts call “having a growth mindset”. People with a growth mindset don’t concentrate on failure. They aren’t worried by not getting things right the first time and are happy to keep trying until they do. They enjoy the challenge and believe they can change. In contrast, people who just focus on the failure have what the experts call “a fixed mindset”. These people are always worried about failure and are happy to give up when things don’t go right. They don’t think that they are able to change. Clearly, it is better to have a growth mindset than a fixed mindset. But don’t worry if you think that you have a fixed mindset. You can train yourself to develop a growth mindset.

It was a hard decision because no one wanted to be a quitter. But finding the courage to let go can be good for you. ★ Maybe your heart isn’t in playing the piano any more, or you only play football because your friends do and you want to try a different sport instead. Making the decision to walk away can free up time and energy to spend on something you really enjoy. In fact, studies show that letting go of goals you can’t reach, or don’t really want, can build up your confidence and help you lead a happier and healthier life. But how can you know it’s time to stop and move on? Eric Bean is an expert in sports psychology (心理学) who helps athletes and teams understand their feelings. He says, “Quitting never a matter of black and white.” He suggests thinking carefully about why you aren’t enjoying something any more. Is it because you’ve argued with a teammate or can’t get on with a new art teacher? Talk about this with a trusted adult or friend. That can help you decide whether you should stay and stick, or quit and move on. Quitting doesn’t have to mean totally giving up, though. For example, playing an instrument might be more fun if you take away the pressure of exams. If you do decide to give up an activity, Bean suggests picking up another where you can still enjoy things like teamwork, creativity, and exercise. 6．The writer mentions “Roger Federer” to show that ________. A．we should never give up B．it’s all right to stop and quit C．we should get away from trouble D．it’s difficult to win Olympic medals 7．Which of the following can be put in ★ ?

A．learn about perseverance B．have more trusted friends C．reach some important goals D．feel more confident in ourselves 9．By saying the underlined sentence, Eric Bean means that ________. A．it’s not good to stick at things we don’t like B．we don’t have to take exams to show our true abilities C．we should think twice before quitting an activity D．it’s wiser to pick up a new hobby than to keep the old one 10．Which could be the best title for the passage?

It looks like a tree with 36 green “leaves”, but it’s a small wind turbine (涡轮机). It’s about 5 to 10 meters tall and easy to build. Each “leaf” can turn with the wind and create electricity. Each Wind Tree can make 18,000 kwh (千瓦时) of energy in a year. That’s enough to power a house of four people. Driving Through to Charge Cars Drivers usually need to wait for a long time for their electric cars to charge (充电). Now, a road can charge electric cars as they drive along the road or park on it. There are charging coils (线圈) under the road and the cars have special receivers. And it’s safe for people and animals to walk on the roads. ________ Company Shimisu has developed a new fold-able e-scooter (电动车) called Arma. When folded, it is the size of a laptop (笔记本电脑). It is easy to go from carry mode (模式) to ride mode. The company hopes the weight of the scooter will be somewhere around 4.5 kilograms. 1．In which section of the newspaper can we read the news?

Without needing to lift my fingers and type in the numbers, I can get straight into my phone with just a look. Now there is a new technology designed to replace the password called the “passkey”! Passkeys turn your phone into something a bit like a wallet, which you can use to store membership cards to all of your apps and services. When you need to log in to a website, you’ll just have to tap a button on your phone and your passkey wallet will let you in without any worry. And how does it keep this wallet safe? By using the same “biometric (生物统计)” check your phone uses — a face scan or a fingerprint that cannot easily beforged. Passkeys won’t just save us from having to remember passwords but, perhaps logging in with a passkey will actually be much safer than typing a password. This is because it uses a technology called “public key” cryptography (密码) which is one of the building blocks of the Internet — and is how computers have securely communicated with other computers for so many years. To put it simply, it works a bit like a key, instead of a password. With a password, the website has to keep a database (数据库) of everyone’s passwords to check against when you log in. But with a passkey, when you create your account on a website, it will effectively create a new lock and key. The website will keep the lock,★. I think it’s a really clever idea, and that passkeys are going to make our digital lives even safer. So, next time you’re complaining that you can’t remember your password, don’t worry too much. It won’t always be like this! 6．The writer explains how the passkeys work by ________. A．giving examples B．listing numbers C．raising questions D．comparing similar things 7．The underlined word “forged” in paragraph 3 means ________. A．copied B．printed C．canceled D．recorded 8．The passkeys are much safer than passwords because of ________. A．biometric check B．cryptography technology C．blocks of Internet D．secure communication 9．Which of the following can be put in★? A．but your phone is safer B．so you won’t forget the key C．or it will remember the key D．and only your phone will have the key 10．The passage is written to ________. A．show passkeys are safer than passwords B．introduce science development C．report the invention of face unlocking D．describe digital lives Passage 3 (23-24九上·湖北武汉洪山区·期末) Tearless Onions Go on SaleUK supermarket Waitrose has started selling a new type of “tearless” onions called Sunions. Many people find that chopping onions makes them cry. This is because onions give off chemicals that make your eyes water. Plant breeder Rick Waston crossed several types of onions to create a version that was the least pungent (刺激性的). There’s just one catch—they are three times more expensive than Waitrose’s cheapest own-brand onions. “See” with a Bionic (仿生) Eye An 88-year-old woman who was blind in her left eye can now see with it again—thanks to a microchip placed under her retina. The retina is a light-sensitive (感光的) area at the back of the eye. The chip picks up video signals from a camera fitted on a special pair of glasses. The signals are then sent to the brain, which understands them as if they were produced by natural vision. The patient, who has received the implant (移植), said, “I’m excited at the possibility of enjoying my hobbies again.” _________________________ The time may be coming to wash our hands with plastic trash. A Virginia Tech team has found a way to turn old plastic into surfactants (表面活性剂) which are the main ingredients for soap. Surfactants can stick together materials that usually would not mix-such as oil and water. “To me, plastic waste basically is aboveground crude oil (原油),” says Guoliang Liu, a chemist at Virginia Tech. The team hopes to partner with industry to make plastic waste a bit cleaner. 11．In which section of the newspaper can we read the news? A．Health. B．Environment. C．Science.

Passage 2 (24-25九上·湖北武汉东湖高新区·期末) Show the power of frictionInterleave (交错的) the page of two piles of sticky notes, say 40 interleaved pages, and they will produce opposite force which is called friction. How much can the friction produced by the interleaved pages support? Actually, it can support up to 60 pounds! That’s amazing, right? This shows that friction can create a very strong power. Boil water in a paper cup Put water in a paper cup and place it over a candle. The water will boil! During boiling, the temperature of the water remains at around 100°C because the energy taken in by the water is used to change its state rather than increase its temperature. It means that while the water is boiling, it stops the paper cup from reaching its burning point. So the paper cup does not burn as long as there is enough water to take in the heat. _____________________ Keep water from falling out of an overturned glass. A card can be stuck to a glass and keep the water in it, as if by magic! Air pressure forces the card upward, against the glass.

At Taipingchuan No. 1 Middle School in Jilin, students began to do Tai Chi instead of running during the morning break. “I like doing Tai Chi because it won’t make you out of breath. I think it’s good for students who are still coughing these days,” said Liu Jiawei from the school. But this doesn’t mean that students will not do other regular sports anymore. According to Wang, the PE teachers will keep changing training plans based on students’ conditions and gradually go back to normal teaching content. “During this special period of time, it’s even more important to let students realize the value of sports and develop healthy exercise habits,” said Wang. 1．Aerobic exercises are added in PE classes because they ________.

Thick gloves might be a good choice, yet sometimes wearing them is inconvenient, especially when people want to do something with their hands. However, this was not a problem for ancient Chinese people, who had a fine tool to keep their hands warm—hand warmers. About the origin (起源), there is no exact written record, but ★ . One folk story is about Emperor Yang from the Sui Dynasty visiting Jiangsu in the winter. Due to the bitter cold, craftsmen (工匠) were required to make a small warmer for the emperor to hold in hand. Thus the hand warmer was created. Later in the Song Dynasty, the tool was in widespread use. Skills for producing the tool were widely employed in the Ming and Qing dynasties. And many books recorded people using hand warmers. The Dream of the Red Chamber, the classic novel by Cao Xueqin from the Qing Dynasty, described a servant sending a hand warmer to Lin Daiyu in one chapter. Made of different materials, ancient hand warmers had lots of fine designs, such as pumpkins, flowers and turtle shells. The designs preferred animals or symbols with good meanings. Inside a hand warmer, there were burning charcoal (木炭) or simple coals. Some coals were blended with broken pieces and pressed into flower shapes, giving off a pleasant smell when burnt. This useful and fine tool is a symbol of craftsmanship of ancient China. 11．In Paragraph 1, thick gloves are mentioned mainly to ________.

This unexpected (出乎意料的) experience led to a valuable friendship between Billy and the otter, whom he named Molly.     Billy and his wife Susan moved to this lonely Scottish island from Aberdeen several years ago. At that time, they didn’t expect to find a new friend from the sea. When the couple first noticed Molly, she was really thin and hungry, as if her bones were almost sticking out. And they believed that Molly’s mother had been killed in a road accident, which led to her having to support herself. Later, Molly became a regular visitor to their garden to look for food, especially in winter. ★ For example, when Billy and Susan were working in the yard, Molly always came close to see what her friends were doing. And this bond (纽带，联系) grew closer as they continued to care for Molly, teaching her new skills and even introducing her to their collie, Jade. And to their joy, Molly and Jade learned to stand each other. Sometimes, the dog would even share his food with this visitor peacefully. Their story caught the attention of the wildlife cameraman Charlie Hamilton James. Touched by the story, Charlie spent over a year filming a documentary named Billy & Molly. The film beautifully captures (捕捉) the heartwarming relationship between Billy and Molly. Billy hopes this documentary will encourage others to appreciate the friendship between humans and wildlife.

The film allows them to “tell” their story about “communicating” with the local people in Chashu Village, Southwest China’s Chongqing. When the Canadian walked into the village, surprises kept coming. It is a quiet village that planted tea trees thousands of years ago. The local tea trees are so tall that people need ladders (梯子) to pick their leaves. Besides, people in the village live a peaceful and happy life in harmony (和谐) with nature. That also struck him. “In Canada, the protection of nature sometimes keeps people away from it. I never thought they can live together. On our way into this village, I saw lots of houses hugged by the trees, which was truly surprising,” says Luchkow. He adds, “The scene was so beautiful, just like a picture postcard which you know must be sent from China.” Soon he was able to set the tone (基调) for the film, which shows a silent dialogue between trees and people. For thousands of years, from generation (一代人) to generation, the tea trees have been receiving people’s care and protection. “I think if the trees could speak, they might want to give thanks to the villagers. That’s what I tried to express through the film,” says the director. In the process of filming, Luchkow found the well-known Canadian coffee brand Tim Hortons had set up shops in Chongqing. Wu Ke, one of the many young locals who choose to stay in their hometown to make tea, finds himself fall in love with coffee, too. While local Chinese get used to drinking coffee nowadays, Luchkow’s friends back in Canada enjoy Chinese tea a lot. “The communication between tea and coffee is like the exchanges between people,” he says. 6．Which picture may be the scene of the film The Tree Listens? A． B． C． D． 7．In Paragraph 2, Luchkow felt _______ when he was in the village. A．surprised B．happy C．quiet D．lonely 8．Luchkow made the film to _______. A．tell stories of villagers B．encourage people to grow trees C．give tea trees’ thanks to villagers D．report a peaceful life 9．What may be talked about in the following paragraph? A．More and more locals make tea at home. B．Chinese begin to fall in love with coffee. C．Canadians become more interested in Chinese tea. D．More communication happens between Chinese and Canadians. 10．What would be the best title for the passage? A．The History of Tea B．Movie Records Silent Conversation C．Canadian Film about Coffee D．Amazing Trip to Chashu 【答案】6．D 7．A 8．C 9．D 10．B 【导语】本文围绕电影《树在倾听》展开，展示了人与自然的交流主题。 6．细节理解题。根据第二段“It is a quiet village that planted tea trees thousands of years ago. The local tea trees are so tall that people need ladders (梯子) to pick their leaves.”以及“I saw lots of houses hugged by the trees”可知，这是一个安静的并种植了茶树的村庄，茶树很高需要梯子来采摘茶叶，很多房子被树木拥抱。故选项D图片符合描述。故选D。 7．细节理解题。根据第二段“On our way into this village, I saw lots of houses hugged by the trees, which was truly. surprising”可知，当Luchkow在村庄时，他感到很吃惊。故选A。 8．细节理解题。根据第三段“ ‘I think if the trees could speak, they might want to give thanks to the villagers. That’s what I tried to express through the film,’ says the director.”可知，Luchkow认为如果树木可以说话，他们可能想感谢村民。这就是他试图通过电影表达的东西。故选C。 9．推理判断题。文章最后一段提到中国人爱上咖啡，加拿大人喜欢中国茶，可以看出后文可能会进一步探讨两国之间更多文化交流，故选D。 10．最佳标题题。通读全文可知，本文围绕电影《树在倾听》展开，展示了人与自然的交流主题。故最佳标题为：电影记录沉默对话。故选B。 主题02 人与社会——人物传记 Passage 1 (24-25九上·湖北武汉江夏区·期末)      In our society, we often care about what others do, but this can sometimes feel stressful. Especially for public persons, there’s often a hidden pressure. People often show anger toward them on social media (媒体) because of their unintentional (不经意的) decisions.     The Olympic champion (冠军) Quan Hongchan suffered from this. According to reports, Quan returned to Guangzhou after attending an event. During her trip, she stopped by an Apple store to buy a phone for her family. This should have been a simple personal choice, but it quickly drew attention on social media. Some people said she didn’t love our country just because she chose a foreign brand.     This situation raises questions about how society sees famous people and their personal choices. Should athletes be treated so strictly for such decisions? The answer is, of course, no, Quan has the same rights as anyone to make personal decisions, including which products to buy Being a public person doesn’t mean giving up the freedom (自由) to make ordinary choices. As a teenager, she should be allowed to enjoy privacy (隐私) like anyone else.     However, public persons like Quan often suffer from too much attention from the public Since her Olympic win in 2021, Quan’s life has been under a microscope (显微镜) . The media and fans follow her every move. From her family members’ activities to her personal shopping trips, her life has been turned into a public thing. This kind of attention creates big pressure, turning what should be a kind of pride into a kind of stress.     It’s time to consider why the public pay more attention to her personal choices than her real achievements. Quan is an Olympic champion who has brought pride to our country with her athletic skills.

But how can we realize them? Recently, this idea came to life in China in a clever way in a famous scenic spot (风景区) in Dunhuang, Northwest China’s Gansu Province. With the arrival of the tourist season, the scenic spot has been crowded with visitors around 20,000 a day since July. With so many people, the challenge of managing waste has become more serious, putting cleaners under pressure. So, the scenic spot came up with a fun way to help: “Trash hunt for gifts.” Here’s how it works: Visitors are given trash bags and encouraged to pick up litter around the site (地点). In return, they get small gifts showing Dunhuang’s rich culture. Isn’t this another good form of the three Rs spirit? I still remember going to some scenic spots, especially historical sites where people gather in a small area. At these places littering is something we always have to try hard to deal with. Not only does it influence the cleanliness of a site, but it is also likely to harm the natural environment. So, when I saw how the “Trash hunt for gifts” program was carried out, it was clear this way was more than just a trick to attract attention. It was truly an effort to encourage a culture of responsibility and care. The activity does more than just cleaning up the area. It turns every visitor into an environmental guard, actively taking part in protecting the beauty of the site. ★ Other places in China are also doing similar things. It’s great to see that tourists are not just enjoying the sights, but also helping to protect them. Turning tourists into environmental guards is a new and exciting way to keep our scenic spots clean and beautiful for everyone to enjoy. It’s a reminder that while we enjoy the beauty around us, we also have the power to protect it. 1．In which picture can we see “Trash hunt for gifts”? A． B． C． D． 2．How do visitors take part in “Trash hunt for gifts”? A．By buying trash bags. B．By picking up trash. C．By giving out gifts. D．By spreading Dunhuang culture. 3．From the passage, we can know that “Trash hunt for gifts” program ________. A．was started by visitors in Dunhuang B．was aimed at drawing public attention C．forced visitors to clean up the spots D．helped to make it easier for cleaners 4．Which of the following can be put in ★ ? A．The idea is spreading B．People love the gifts C．Dunhuang becomes more attractive D．Visitors become more active 5．What’s the purpose of the passage? A．To explain what the three Rs are. B．To show how to face challenges during the trip. C．To introduce a new way of travelling. D．To encourage people to be guardians of nature. 【答案】1．A 2．B 3．D 4．A 5．D 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了中国敦煌一个著名风景区为了应对旅游旺季的垃圾管理挑战，推出了一项名为“Trash hunt for gifts”的活动。游客通过捡拾垃圾可以获得展示敦煌丰富文化的小礼物，旨在推广环保理念，培养游客的责任感和爱护环境的意识。 1．细节理解题。根据文章第二段“So, the scenic spot came up with a fun way to help: ‘Trash hunt for gifts.’ Here’s how it works: Visitors are given trash bags and encouraged to pick up litter around the site (地点).”可知，在景点给游客发放垃圾袋，鼓励游客在景区捡拾垃圾，所以“Trash hunt for gifts”活动应该是在景区捡垃圾的场景，结合选项图片，只有A选项图片符合。故选A。 2．细节理解题。根据文章第二段“Here’s how it works: Visitors are given trash bags and encouraged to pick up litter around the site (地点).”可知，游客参与“Trash hunt for gifts”活动是通过捡拾垃圾。故选B。 3．推理判断题。根据文章第二段“With so many people, the challenge of managing waste has become more serious, putting cleaners under pressure.

This is because in 80 percent of the world, light pollution is turning night into day. When artificial light (人造光) and natural light mix together, insects, birds and even plants are affected seriously. A 2022 report surveyed more than 160 species (物种) to understand how artificial light changes ecosystem. The researchers found that animals watched the light of the sun and moon to plan their activities. Breaking the law of light can affect all kinds of wildlife. Birds are easy to get lost because of bright city lights. The short-wave blue light produced by LED bulbs (灯泡) will attract more insects and birds. Fireflies (萤火虫) light the forests. They communicate with each other through their own light, but artificial light mixes the messages they want to express, making it harder for them to live. Unlike air and water pollution, light pollution can be solved immediately. Reducing light pollution is simple by turning off the lights, limiting the time on or reducing the light from a single bulb. Asalam, a scientist, said, “The type of light that we use is very important. For birds, if you use warmer, yellow light, you won’t have so much effect on them.” Street lights and outdoor lights with lampshades (灯罩) can concentrate light directly where we need it, preventing them from leaking (泄露) outward or upward. Closing your blinds (百叶窗) and closing the curtains will prevent artificial light from entering the environment. A study found that simply halving the light outside the window reduced the birds’ effects by 60 percent. In order to protect our friends living on the same earth, please let our city be dark. 6．The 2022 report showed us that ________. A．natural light surely changes ecosystem B．artificial light affects all kinds of wildlife C．animals plan their activities by mixing messages D．researchers found out the law of nature 7．Why does the writer mention “birds” and “fireflies” in Paragraph 2? A．To make a prediction. B．To raise a question. C．To compare facts. D．To give examples. 8．What pollution is the easiest to solve according to the passage? A．Light pollution. B．Water pollution. C．White pollution. D．Air pollution. 9．Which bulb will a bird lover choose? A．A bulb with strong light    . B．A bulb with warm and yellow light. C．A LED bulb with blue light. D．A bulb without a lampshade. 10．The writer wants to call us to ________. A．set up a wild-life park B．put up a research base C．make rules and laws of nature D．live in harmony with nature 【答案】6．B 7．D 8．A 9．B 10．D 【导语】本文主要讲述了人造光污染对生物的危害及我们应该如何减少人造光污染。 6．细节理解题。根据“A 2022 report surveyed more than 160 species (物种) to understand how artificial light changes ecosystem. The researchers found that animals watched the light of the sun and moon to plan their activities. Breaking the law of light can affect all kinds of wildlife.”可知，人造光违反自然光的定律，会影响各种野生动物。故选B。 7．推理判断题。根据“Breaking the law of light can affect all kinds of wildlife.”可知，后面提到鸟和萤火虫是为了举例说明违反光的法则会影响各种野生动物。故选D。 8．细节理解题。根据“Unlike air and water pollution, light pollution can be solved immediately”可知，光污染是最容易解决的。故选A。 9．细节理解题。根据“For birds, if you use warmer, yellow light, you won’t have so much effect on them.”可知，对于鸟类来说，如果你使用更温暖的黄光，你就不会对它们产生太大影响，故鸟类爱好者会选择温暖的黄光。故选B。 10．主旨大意题。根据“In order to protect our friends living on the same earth, please let our city be dark.”及通读全文可知，本文主要讲述了人造光对生物的危害，及我们应该如何减少人造光污染，故作者是想呼吁我们与自然和谐相处。故选D。 主题03 人与自然——科普知识 Passage 1 (24-25九上·湖北武汉武昌区·期末) Believe it or not, we know more about space than we do about the deep ocean. Since 1969. a total of 12 people have walked on the moon, but only three have dived (潜水) to the Mariana Trench’s deepest point. As we all know, it’s very challenging to explore Qomolangma, the Sahara Desert, and the Amazon Rainforest. However, the Mariana Trench’s conditions and depth of about 11, 000 meters make it the most difficult to explore. Even more shocking-Although the ocean covers about 71% of the Earth’s surface, 95% of it is unexplored. Historically, people explored the ocean just to find ways to travel around the world or to start new trades. Also, to early people, the ocean was a scary place, full of dangerous creatures. They thought that, the deep ocean was dark and lifeless. Furthermore, cold temperatures and huge water pressure prevented ocean exploration, too. Diving into the Mariana Trench, for example, would make you feel like having 50 jumbo jets (巨型喷气式飞机) pressing down on you. However, the ocean influences everyone in lots of things, from the air we breathe, the food we cat, transportation, medicine, to weather and climate. And the deep ocean holds a huge amount of oil, gas and so on. Therefore, ocean exploration has always been a big dream of humans in modern times. In recent years, thanks to new technology like improved submarines (潜艇), robots and cameras, humans have been able to explore the deeper sea. On November 17th, 2024, China made a huge breakthrough in deep-sea exploration with its “Mengxiang” ship. With the world’s top drilling system (钻探系统), this amazing ship can reach up to 11, 000 meters below the sea surface, allowing scientists to study and learn more about the earth. The “Mengxiang” ship is the pride of our nation, pushing the limits of what we know and can achieve. Let’s see how much further China can go in ocean exploration in the future! 1．Which picture may best show the Mariana Trench? A． B． C． D． 2．What BIG question does Paragraph 2 focus on? A．What does a jumbo jet look like? B．When did ocean exploration begin? C．How is space different from the ocean? D．Why is so much of the ocean unexplored? 3．The ocean is important because _________. A．it brings humans a lot of challenges B．it provides humans with necessary things C．it influences every field in our daily life D．it covers a quarter of the Earth’s surface 4．According to the passage, the “Mengxiang” ship _________. a. makes the whole world proud b. carries the Chinese dream c. can explore outer spaced. shows China’s great power A．a, c B．b, c C．b, d D．a, d 5．What’s the writer’s attitude (态度) towards today’s ocean exploration? A．Hopeful. B．Doubtful. C．Worried. D．Uncertain. 【答案】1．B 2．D 3．C 4．C 5．A 【导语】本文主要讲述了人类对深海的了解很少，并解释了原因，文章也提到了中国为探索深海做出的努力。 1．推理判断题。根据“However, the Mariana Trench’s conditions and depth of about 11, 000 meters make it the most difficult to explore.”可知，图B最接近马里亚纳海沟，反映其狭长且深的特点。故选B。 2．主旨大意题。根据“Also, to early people, the ocean was a scary place, full of dangerous creatures.

Let’s see how much further China can go in ocean exploration in the future!”可知，作者对现代海洋探索持有积极乐观的态度。故选A。 Passage 2 (23-24九上·湖北武汉青山区·期末) Think about how many ways there are for you to communicate today. You can send a letter or pick up the phone and make a call. But today, one of the most popular ways to communicate is called instant messaging (即时信息) (IM). In any instant messaging system (系统), you type a little text message on your computer, press the “Send” button, and your message instantly shows up on your friend’s screen. But how does it work? Actually, the whole process is very cool. In the 1980s, you could sit down at a computer at any big university. Up to 100 people would be logged in (登录) and share the computer because the computers were very expensive at that time. You could type a command (指令) to send an instant message to anyone logged in the same computer. It felt like everyone was connected together no matter where they were sitting. Today, you can communicate with anyone in the world. All you need is an instant messaging program installed (安装) on your computer. There are many programs to choose from. AOL’s instant messenger is probably the most popular right now. MSN has one. Google has Google Talk. When you’re ready, you create an account (账户). Next, you need to find out the IM names your friends use. Add their IM names to your IM program. Click on the friend you want to talk to and then type away. When you click “Send”, your friend gets the message instantly. However, behind the scenes, amazing things are happening. Your IM program is communicating with a computer called a server. All your friends’ computers are communicating with a server, too. Your computer is often chatting with it to make everything happen. The network called the Internet makes it all possible. 6．How did people get messages instantly in the 1980s? A．By sharing the same computer. B．By making a call. C．By sending a letter. D．By visiting each other. 7．From the passage we can see that “AOL” is ________. A．an IM program B．a computer company C．a famous website D．a kind of search engine 8．What do we know about the process of sending an IM? A．You should create an account first. B．You can add your names to the program. C．Your friend can get the message after you click “Send”. D．You should type away the message before you click on your friend. 9．The underlined word “server” most probably refers to __________. A．a message B．the network C．the Internet D．a computer 10．The best title for the passage can be __________. A．Development of Communication B．Different Ways of Communication C．How to Send Instant Messages D．The Easiest Way to Talk to a Friend 【答案】6．A 7．B 8．C 9．D 10．C 【导语】本文介绍了即时通讯的运作过程。 6．细节理解题。根据“In the 1980s, you could sit down at a computer at any big university. Up to 100 people would be logged in (登录) and share the computer because the computers were very expensive at that time.”可知，在20世纪80年代，人们用同一台电脑获取即时信息。故选A。 7．细节理解题。根据“AOL’s instant messenger is probably the most popular right now.”可知这是一家电脑公司。故选B。 8．细节理解题。根据“When you click ‘Send’, your friend gets the message instantly.”可知，你的朋友可以在你点击“发送”后收到消息。故选C。 9．词义猜测题。根据划线词前文“Your IM program is communicating with a computer called a server.

But how does it work?”可知本文主要介绍了即时通讯的运作过程，所以本文的最佳标题是“如何发送即时消息”。故选C。 主题01 人与自我——哲理感悟 Passage 1 (23-24九上·湖北武汉东西湖区·期末) Does life sometimes seem to be full of impossible problems? How many times, for example, do you find yourself saying things like “I really don’t understand this maths problem”, or “I can’t get into the school team”? Well, maybe it’s time to introduce yourself to the power of “yet”. By adding this simple word, you can change everything. “I really don’t understand this maths problem yet.” “I can’t get into the school team yet.” Suddenly, the impossible becomes possible. You can imagine those things happening. I read about a school that has changed the way it marks its students’ exams. The school find out that the old “pass/fail” system wasn’t helping students’ motivation. If you passed, then great, but those students who didn’t pass often felt like failures. So now students who don’t pass the exams will not see a big red “F” on their papers—they see a “”Not yet” instead. ________. They haven’t reached the end, but they know that they are going the right way. This kind of thinking is part of what experts call “having a growth mindset”. People with a growth mindset don’t concentrate on failure. They aren’t worried by not getting things right the first time and are happy to keep trying until they do. They enjoy the challenge and believe they can change. In contrast, people who just focus on the failure have what the experts call “a fixed mindset”. These people are always worried about failure and are happy to give up when things don’t go right. They don’t think that they are able to change. Clearly, it is better to have a growth mindset than a fixed mindset. But don’t worry if you think that you have a fixed mindset. You can train yourself to develop a growth mindset. Remember that it all starts with questioning the things you believe about yourself. Stop believing that you can’t or you haven’t and realize that you just can’t or haven’t yet. Once you start doing this, you’ll wonder why you didn’t do it before. It’s one small but very powerful word. 1．The effect of adding the word “yet” is that _________. A．everything is possible B．you are not alone C．you are going to start to win D．you won’t feel upset about your failures 2．The underlined word “motivation” is the closest to _________ in meaning. A．the purpose of doing something B．the process of doing something C．the drive to do something D．the courage to do something 3．Which of the following can be put in ________? A．By doing this, the school can judge the students better. B．Everyone has his own advantages and disadvantages. C．In that way, the students feel that they are on a journey. D．Then the students doubt whether it is worth fighting on. 4．According to the passage, which one of the following has a “growth mindset”? A．Mary got the first prize in the competition. She was excited to tell her friends. B．Grace couldn’t learn English well. She felt disappointed and wanted to drop it. C．Joe failed to pass the exam. He didn’t want to have another try. D．Peter’s team lost the soccer game, but they didn’t give up and kept practicing. 5．Which of the following can be the best title for the passage? A．The Power of “Yet” B．Growth or Fixed Mindset? C．Nothing is Impossible D．Achieve Success 【答案】1．D 2．C 3．C 4．D 5．A 【导语】本文主要讲的是“yet”一词的影响力。 1．推理判断题。根据“By adding this simple word, you can change everything…Suddenly, the impossible becomes possible. You can imagine those things happening.”可知，通过添加这个简单的词，你可以改变一切，不可能的事情变成了可能，你可以想象这些事情的发生，可推知添加“yet”后，人们对于失败的态度会有所改变，不再因失败而感到沮丧或绝望。故选D。 2．词义猜测题。根据“The school find out that the old ‘pass/fail’ system wasn’t helping students’ motivation. If you passed, then great, but those students who didn’t pass often felt like failures”可知学校发现，旧的“及格/不及格”制度对学生的学习积极性没有帮助，如果你通过了，那很好，但那些没有通过的学生经常觉得自己失败了，故此处画线部分意为“积极性”，即“做某事的动力”。故选C。 3．推理判断题。根据“So now students who don’t pass the exams will not see a big red ‘F’ on their papers—they see a ‘Not yet’ instead...They haven’t reached the end, but they know that they are going the right way”可知现在没有通过考试的学生在试卷上不会看到一个红色的大“F”，而是看到一个“Not yet”，这就像一个旅程，他们还没有达到终点，但他们知道他们走的是正确的路，选项C“通过这种方式，学生们感觉自己正在旅行”符合语境。故选C。 4．推理判断题。根据“People with a growth mindset don’t concentrate on failure. They aren’t worried by not getting things right the first time and are happy to keep trying until they do”可知，有成长心态的人不会专注于失败，他们不担心第一次做得不对，也很乐意继续努力，直到做到为止，故选项D“彼得的球队输了足球比赛，但他们没有放弃，继续练习”中的彼得具有“成长心态”，故选D。 5．最佳标题题。根据“Well, maybe it’s time to introduce yourself to the power of “yet”. By adding this simple word, you can change everything. ”以及全文可知，本文主要讲的是“yet”一词的影响力。故选A。 Passage 2 (23-24九上·湖北武汉汉阳区·期末) Roger Federer, a world-famous sports star, quit (放弃) the 2020 Olympic Games to deal with his knee problem. It was a hard decision because no one wanted to be a quitter. But finding the courage to let go can be good for you. ★ Maybe your heart isn’t in playing the piano any more, or you only play football because your friends do and you want to try a different sport instead. Making the decision to walk away can free up time and energy to spend on something you really enjoy. In fact, studies show that letting go of goals you can’t reach, or don’t really want, can build up your confidence and help you lead a happier and healthier life. But how can you know it’s time to stop and move on? Eric Bean is an expert in sports psychology (心理学) who helps athletes and teams understand their feelings. He says, “Quitting never a matter of black and white.” He suggests thinking carefully about why you aren’t enjoying something any more. Is it because you’ve argued with a teammate or can’t get on with a new art teacher? Talk about this with a trusted adult or friend. That can help you decide whether you should stay and stick, or quit and move on. Quitting doesn’t have to mean totally giving up, though. For example, playing an instrument might be more fun if you take away the pressure of exams. If you do decide to give up an activity, Bean suggests picking up another where you can still enjoy things like teamwork, creativity, and exercise. 6．The writer mentions “Roger Federer” to show that ________. A．we should never give up B．it’s all right to stop and quit C．we should get away from trouble D．it’s difficult to win Olympic medals 7．Which of the following can be put in ★ ? A．Roger did something special. B．It’s necessary to try your best. C．Sometimes learning to let go is important. D．Let’s enjoy happy life. 8．According to the writer, learning to let go is important because we can ________. A．learn about perseverance B．have more trusted friends C．reach some important goals D．feel more confident in ourselves 9．By saying the underlined sentence, Eric Bean means that ________. A．it’s not good to stick at things we don’t like B．we don’t have to take exams to show our true abilities C．we should think twice before quitting an activity D．it’s wiser to pick up a new hobby than to keep the old one 10．Which could be the best title for the passage? A．Knowing When to Stop B．Working Hard to Move on C．Learning How to Grow up D．Taking Away the Pressure 【答案】6．B 7．C 8．D 9．C 10．A 【导语】本文主要是告诉人们应该知道何时放弃。 6．推理判断题。根据“Roger Federer, a world-famous sports star, quit (放弃) the 2020 Olympic Games to deal with his knee problem. It was a hard decision because no one wanted to be a quitter. But finding the courage to let go can be good for you.”可推知，作者在第一段提到罗杰•费德勒是想要表达有时候放弃也是好的。故选B。 7．推理判断题。根据“Maybe your heart isn’t in playing the piano any more, or you only play football because your friends do and you want to try a different sport instead. Making the decision to walk away can free up time and energy to spend on something you really enjoy.”可推知本段主要是说我们要学会放手，C项表示“有时候，学会放手很重要”，符合文意，故选C。 8．细节理解题。根据“In fact, studies show that letting go of goals you can’t reach or don’t really want, can build up your confidence and help you lead a happier and healthier life.”可知学会放手很重要，因为这样我们可以对自己更有信心，故选D。 9．词句猜测题。根据“He suggests thinking carefully about why you aren’t enjoying something any more.”可知，他建议仔细思考为什么不再享受某件事，也就是建议人们要三思而行。故选C。 10．最佳标题题。根据“Quitting doesn’t have to mean totally giving up, though.”和“ But how can you know it’s time to stop and move on?”并结合全文可知文章主要讲述了人们应该知道何时放弃，A项表示“知道何时放弃”，符合文意，故选A。 主题02人与社会——发明与创造 Passage 1 (23-24九上·湖北武汉江岸区·期末) Creating Power Through Wind Trees Check out this Wind Tree in a city park!

Without needing to lift my fingers and type in the numbers, I can get straight into my phone with just a look. Now there is a new technology designed to replace the password called the “passkey”! Passkeys turn your phone into something a bit like a wallet, which you can use to store membership cards to all of your apps and services. When you need to log in to a website, you’ll just have to tap a button on your phone and your passkey wallet will let you in without any worry. And how does it keep this wallet safe? By using the same “biometric (生物统计)” check your phone uses — a face scan or a fingerprint that cannot easily beforged. Passkeys won’t just save us from having to remember passwords but, perhaps logging in with a passkey will actually be much safer than typing a password. This is because it uses a technology called “public key” cryptography (密码) which is one of the building blocks of the Internet — and is how computers have securely communicated with other computers for so many years. To put it simply, it works a bit like a key, instead of a password. With a password, the website has to keep a database (数据库) of everyone’s passwords to check against when you log in. But with a passkey, when you create your account on a website, it will effectively create a new lock and key. The website will keep the lock,★. I think it’s a really clever idea, and that passkeys are going to make our digital lives even safer. So, next time you’re complaining that you can’t remember your password, don’t worry too much. It won’t always be like this! 6．The writer explains how the passkeys work by ________. A．giving examples B．listing numbers C．raising questions D．comparing similar things 7．The underlined word “forged” in paragraph 3 means ________. A．copied B．printed C．canceled D．recorded 8．The passkeys are much safer than passwords because of ________. A．biometric check B．cryptography technology C．blocks of Internet D．secure communication 9．Which of the following can be put in★? A．but your phone is safer B．so you won’t forget the key C．or it will remember the key D．and only your phone will have the key 10．The passage is written to ________. A．show passkeys are safer than passwords B．introduce science development C．report the invention of face unlocking D．describe digital lives 【答案】6．D 7．A 8．B 9．D 10．A 【导语】本文主要介绍了新技术——密钥登录。它将取代密码，且比密码更安全。 6．细节理解题。根据第1段“One of my favorite inventions in recent years...there is a new technology designed to replace the password called the ‘passkey’!”可知，作者通过比较类似的东西来解释密钥是如何工作的，故选D。 7．词义猜测题。根据第3段“And how does it keep this wallet safe? By using the same ‘biometric (生物统计)’ check your phone uses — a face scan or a fingerprint that cannot easily be forged.”可知，此处表示面部扫描或不易被伪造的指纹，所以与“copied”的意思相同，都是“复制的”。故选A。 8．细节理解题。根据第4段“logging in with a passkey will actually be much safer than typing a password. This is because it uses a technology called ‘public key’ cryptography”可知，由于加密技术，密钥比密码安全得多，故选B。 9．推理判断题。根据第5段“But with a passkey, when you create your account on a website, it will effectively create a new lock and key. The website will keep the lock,”可知，提到“当您在网站上创建账户时，它将有效地创建新的锁和钥匙。网站将保持锁定”，此处应说“只有你的手机才会有钥匙”符合题意，D选项可以放入★处，故选D。 10．主旨大意题。根据第1段“Now there is a new technology designed to replace the password called the ‘passkey’!”以及通读全文可知，本文主要介绍了新技术——密钥登录。它将取代密码，且比密码更安全。作者认为密钥让我们的数字生活更安全。因此写这篇文章是为了表明密钥比密码更安全，故选A。 Passage 3 (23-24九上·湖北武汉洪山区·期末) Tearless Onions Go on SaleUK supermarket Waitrose has started selling a new type of “tearless” onions called Sunions. Many people find that chopping onions makes them cry. This is because onions give off chemicals that make your eyes water. Plant breeder Rick Waston crossed several types of onions to create a version that was the least pungent (刺激性的). There’s just one catch—they are three times more expensive than Waitrose’s cheapest own-brand onions. “See” with a Bionic (仿生) Eye An 88-year-old woman who was blind in her left eye can now see with it again—thanks to a microchip placed under her retina. The retina is a light-sensitive (感光的) area at the back of the eye. The chip picks up video signals from a camera fitted on a special pair of glasses. The signals are then sent to the brain, which understands them as if they were produced by natural vision. The patient, who has received the implant (移植), said, “I’m excited at the possibility of enjoying my hobbies again.” _________________________ The time may be coming to wash our hands with plastic trash. A Virginia Tech team has found a way to turn old plastic into surfactants (表面活性剂) which are the main ingredients for soap. Surfactants can stick together materials that usually would not mix-such as oil and water. “To me, plastic waste basically is aboveground crude oil (原油),” says Guoliang Liu, a chemist at Virginia Tech. The team hopes to partner with industry to make plastic waste a bit cleaner. 11．In which section of the newspaper can we read the news? A．Health. B．Environment. C．Science.

How much can the friction produced by the interleaved pages support? Actually, it can support up to 60 pounds! That’s amazing, right? This shows that friction can create a very strong power. Boil water in a paper cup Put water in a paper cup and place it over a candle. The water will boil! During boiling, the temperature of the water remains at around 100°C because the energy taken in by the water is used to change its state rather than increase its temperature. It means that while the water is boiling, it stops the paper cup from reaching its burning point. So the paper cup does not burn as long as there is enough water to take in the heat. _____________________ Keep water from falling out of an overturned glass. A card can be stuck to a glass and keep the water in it, as if by magic! Air pressure forces the card upward, against the glass. The pressure is strong enough to stop the weight of the water pushing the card away. 6．In which section of the website can we read the texts? A．Future World. B．Art Desk. C．Culture Link. D．Science Center. 7．“Friction” can be explained as the force that ________.
