2025-2026学年初中英语八年级上册期末高频考点通关 07 阅读理解 40篇 （人教版2024） （一） In life, a goal can show us the way to success. Then how can we set and reach life goals? What are life goals? Life goals are what we want to reach. They are meaningful. They are personal plans, but they can be shown in many different ways. Why should we set goals in life? We all have dreams. We know what makes us happy and what we would love to try out. It is a useful way to set clear goals. First, it can tell us what to do. Second, if we know what we want to be clearly, we will be in the right direction. Third, it can make us live a happy and meaningful life. How do we set life goals? Here is an example. Lisa wants to be a teacher. She sets her goal as “starting her own school by the end of the year”. It isn’t a simple goal like “helping her brother with his homework”. Though her goal is difficult to reach in a short time, she will try her best. The clearer our goals are, the better results we will get. 1．Which of the following is TRUE about people’s life goals? A．They are just for fun. B．They are just for finding jobs. C．They are similar to each other’s. D．They are different in many ways. 2．What does the underlined word “direction” mean in Chinese? A．方向 B．习惯 C．思维 D．判断 3．Why does the writer give Lisa’s example? A．To tell us what life goals are. B．To show a different life goal. C．To let us see a meaningful life. D．To let us make our life goals clearer. 4．How does the writer talk about the topic? A．By only giving facts. B．By asking questions. C．In the order of time. D．In the order of space. 5．Which of the following views may the writer agree with? A．Goals can make us unhappy. B．We can’t be successful if we don’t set life goals. C．Goals can help make our dreams come true. D．Our life will be simple if we have no life goals. （二） Should we be polite to AI and say “thank you”? He Liyan, 15, Beijing New Oriental Foreign Language School at Yangzhou, Jiangsu I think we should say “please” and “thank you” to AI. Even though AI has no feelings, being polite is still good for us. AI helps us in life, just like a person. We say “thanks” to people who help us, so why not say it to AI? It helps us remember to be thankful. Also, using polite words with AI helps us form good habits. When we say “please” instead of giving orders, we learn to be kind. This kindness can also help us with friends and teachers. So, being polite to AI is not for the machine, it’s for making ourselves better. Shao Jiaxi,13, Xian Gaoxin No.1 High School, Shaanxi I don’t think we need to be polite to AI. First, it doesn’t have feelings. If I say “thank you”, my phone won’t feel happy. If I say “please”, my computer won’t work faster. We use AI to do things quickly, so why waste time on extra (多余的) words? Once I asked my AI, “Please wake me up gently”, but it still played the alarm very loudly! So, be polite to people, but just talk simply to AI. Don’t worry—it will never get angry! Xiao Ziyu, 13, Suci Middle School, Sichuan I think it depends on the person. AI doesn’t have feelings, so “please” and “thank you” won’t change how it works. But using these words can help people be more polite in real life. We don’t need a rule for this. Everyone can choose. If you want to be quick, just say what you need clearly. If you want to practice good manners, using polite words is a good idea. 1．According to He Liyan, why should we be polite to AI? A．Because it is a rule we must follow. B．Because AI can understand our feelings. C．Because it helps us become better people. D．Because it makes AI work faster and better. 2．Why does Shao Jiaxi talk about his experience of setting an alarm with AI? A．Because he believes all alarms should be set for 6 a.m. B．Because he wants to show that AI can wake him up gently. C．Because he thinks AI likes to play loud music in the morning. D．Because he wants to show that using polite words to AI is useless. 3．What does Xiao Ziyu suggest we do? A．Never say “thank you” or “please” to AI. B．Make a clear rule about how to talk to AI. C．Always use polite words when talking to AI. D．Make our own choice based on our habits and needs. 4．Which of the following is TRUE according to the text? A．All three students agree that AI itself has no feelings. B．Shao Jiaxi’s AI alarm worked perfectly after he said “please”. C．Xiao Ziyu thinks saying “please” to AI will change how it works. D．He Liyan believes being polite to AI cannot help us keep good habits. 5．Where can you probably read this text? A．In a story book. B．In a history textbook. C．In a student magazine. D．In a guidebook for using AI tools. （三） In the age of the internet, do young people still need to spend time learning some everyday life skills?

DeepSeek What you might actually admire is not me, but rather a perfect collection of knowledge. Yet the true beauty of people lies in their imperfections (不完美): Not knowing pushes them to learn, weakness helps them to connect, and the unknown keeps them curious. DeepSeek A young woman on Xiaohongshu I was born in 1999 in the northeast of China. I’ve been working in Shanghai for almost four years. I feel sad now because I’ve lost my job.

It might not sound too difficult, but sometimes it can go wrong and take a lot of time. To deal with this problem, Zhang Xirui from Shenzhen came up with a useful tool—a smart homework collection robot. This won him first prize in the 20th Guangdong Provincial Children’s Invention Awards. The robot uses radio frequency identification (RFID,射频识别) technology—a reader and a special tag (标签) that can share information without touching each other. This way, it can help find and know what it is looking for. Each student’s notebook has a special RFID tag with their name and the subject. Students only need to put their notebooks on the robot, and the machine “sees” each notebook, reads its tag and takes it out of the name list. “Teachers can check who hasn’t handed in homework by connecting their phones with the robot through Wi-Fi,” the 13-year-old student said. The robot is the second-generation (第二代) model made by Zhang. Now, he’s planning to develop a third-generation and hopes to use ultra-high-frequency (超高频) radio technology to read lots of RFID tags from far away. That means if you stick a special tag on your notebook, the robot can read the information from a thick stack (堆) of notebooks at once. Zhang believes this is the key to how artificial intelligence can make life easier for us. Zhang dreams of becoming a scientist when he grows up. “I have tried making model airplanes and other creative projects. Inventing has brought me joy and happiness,” he said. 1．Why did Zhang Xirui invent a smart collection robot? A．Because his father was a scientist. B．Because he was the class representative. C．Because his teacher asked him to do that. D．Because passing students’ school work could go wrong and took a lot of time. 2．How old is Zhang Xirui? A．12. B．13. C．14. D．15. 3．How does the robot work? a. The machine reads the notebook’s tag. b. The machine takes the notebook out of the name list. c. The machine “sees” the notebook. d. Students only need to put their notebooks on the robot. A．d→c→a→b B．d→b→c→a C．a→b→c→d D．c→b→d→a 4．How do teachers know who hasn’t handed in homework? A．By touching the robot. B．By turning on the computer. C．By calling Zhang Xirui. D．By connecting their phones with the robot through Wi-Fi. 5．What’s the best title for the passage? A．A Smart Robot Helper at School B．A Kind Boy C．A Fun Project D．A Science Report （十四） A rich man decided to build a library for a middle school. Some workers went to the school and worked on it.

People love to give flowers and fruits to each other, because they have special meanings. These gifts can bring good wishes for new beginnings. Orchids (兰花) have many colours, but purple and red ones are very popular for Chinese New Year. They mean love and beauty. Orchids wish you luck, success, and happiness. Peonies (牡丹) look like soft clouds in pink, red, and white. They are very beautiful and can make people feel happy. Red peonies show love and care. Peonies are also a symbol of wealth and being rich. Kumquats (金橘) are small, golden fruits that mean wealth and luck. In Chinese, “kumquat” sounds like “gold orange”, so they mean being rich. People often give two of these fruit trees together. Apples, with their bright colours and round shapes, mean peace and harmony (和谐). In Chinese, “apple” sounds like “peace”. So, apples are great gifts.

He’s very different from me and we fight a lot. “Sometimes I want to be alone. But my sister is always there!” “I can’t have secrets when my brother is around.” “My sister uses my things and she doesn’t ask me first! I hate that!” According to a website, these problems are usual. Most teenagers have a difficult relationship with their siblings (兄弟姐妹). They fight a lot. Usually, teenagers are not worried about their siblings when things go badly for siblings. And they are not proud of them when things go well! But most grown-ups (成年人) really care about their siblings and have a good relationship. So when do things change? According to the website, the answer is: Around the age of 25. Madison is 28 years old. Her brother, Tyler, is 26. “I remember big, terrible fights with Tyler,” says Madison. “But now, our relationship is very different. We get on well with each other and we don’t fight. We go out together two or three times a month and we have a great time. We’re interested in the same things.” But for teenage brothers and sisters with difficult relationships, what can they do? How can they get on well? Here are a few ideas. * When your brother or sister uses your things, don’t get angry about that—learn to share. * See your brother or sister as a friend—and be nice! * Don’t tell people your brother’s or sister’s secrets. * Give your brother or sister some time alone when he or she needs it. * Of course, the other answer is: Just wait ten years! 1．How does the writer start the passage?

A report shows that AI can do 25% of the work of humans. Thankfully, there is not all bad news. There are still things AI cannot do. These jobs need human’s feelings and new ideas. Martin Ford, a writer of AI topics, says AI cannot perform as well as humans in three kinds of jobs. First, the really creative jobs. Humans can come up with new ideas and build something new. However, AI mostly uses the knowledge it learned before. Second, the communicating jobs, such as nurses, business leaders and reporters. “These people need to understand others deeply. I think it’ll be a long time before AI has this kind of ability,” says Ford. Third, the jobs that need lots of dexterity（灵活性）and problem-solving abilities.AI often works under the direction of humans. It’s hard for AI to solve problems all by itself. In short, AI was made by humans and it can help humans live a better life. If you are worried about your future jobs, you can try to look for ones that need your high emotional quotient（EQ）and creative thinking. Those are where humans are different from AI. 1．What percent of human work can AI do? A．15% B．25% C．35% 2．Which kind of job does Martin Ford think AI is not good at first? A．Creative jobs. B．Communicating jobs. C．Jobs needing dexterity. 3．Why is it difficult for AI to do jobs needing problem-solving abilities? A．Because it can’t come up with new ideas. B．Because it often needs humans to direct it. C．Because it can’t understand others deeply. 4．What is the Chinese meaning of the underlined word “communicating”? A．创造的 B．交流的 C．灵活的 5．What is the main idea of the passage? A．AI will take all human jobs in the future. B．Martin Ford has written many books about AI. C．AI can do some work but can’t replace humans in certain jobs. （十八） The way you look is special. Do you know what I mean by that? We all look a little different. Some of us are tall. Some of us are fat. The point is, all of us have our own look—our own face. Sometimes, we might feel bad about looking different. We might feel like we look ugly or weird (怪异的). But our differences are what makes us special. I recently watched a speech by a man named Robert Hoge. Hoge was born with a strange-looking face. His mother worried about the difficulties he would face in life. But Hoge didn’t give up. Strangers would stare at him or even make fun of him. But he didn’t care. He decided to accept his face and feel confident in himself. He has gone on to live an amazing life. It’s hard when you feel like you don’t look “normal” or “perfect”. But the truth is, no one is perfect. The important thing to remember is that you are special, no matter what you look like. 1．Which of the following is more important according to the writer? A．Being tall. B．Being beautiful. C．Being confident. 2．Who is Robert Hoge? A．A man the writer heard a speech from. B．The writer’s best friend. C．A man who looks perfect. 3．What did Hoge’s mother worry about? A．Hoge’s speech was bad. B．Hoge would have difficulties in life. C．Hoge didn’t like his face. 4．How did Hoge live after accepting his face? A．He lived an amazing life. B．He lived a sad life. C．He lived a boring life. 5．What does the writer try to tell us? A．Everyone is perfect. B．No one is perfect. C．Only Hoge is special. （十九） You are thirsty after playing sports or riding home from school. A cold drink may be great. But something that looks cool may not be good for your health. There are plenty of “energy drinks” on the market. Most of them have beautiful colors and cool names. But after a careful check, you may find that most energy drinks have lots of caffeine (咖啡因) in them. These drinks are mainly for young people, students, busy people and sports players. Makers sometimes say their drinks make you better at sports and can keep you awake. But be careful not to drink too much. Caffeine is bad for health. Because of this, the Olympic Games have limited its use. Caffeine in most energy drinks is almost as strong as that in a cup of coffee or tea. Just one box of energy drink can make you excited, have difficulty sleeping and can even cause heart problems. Scientists say that teenagers should be stopped from taking drinks with a lot of caffeine in them. So we should stay away from the energy drinks to keep healthy. 1．The energy drinks are popular with ________. A．children and women B．policemen, students and busy people C．old people, young people and students D．students, busy people, young people and sports players 2．What does the underlined word “limited” mean in Chinese? A．限制 B．唤醒 C．扩大 D．推广 3．What does the third paragraph mainly talk about? A．The uses of caffeine. B．The dangers of caffeine. C．The reason for heart problems. D．The causes of difficult sleeping. 4．What is the structure of the passage? A． B． C． D． 5．What’s the best title for the passage? A．What’s the use of energy drinks? B．Who can drink energy drinks? C．What’s in energy drinks? D．What should we drink? （二十） Joey was happy because he had many special friends—four squirrels, two rabbits, and many colorful birds. At the meal time, these wild animals came near to the family and they would feed these special friends. In the large yard stood thirteen trees of different sizes. One day, while Joey was playing with his sister under the trees, he noticed that a tree trunk had a sad look. He ran into the house to tell his mom about it. She told Joey to find the reason why it was sad. So Joey went into the yard , ran to the sad tree and asked, “Why are you unhappy?” “I am the smallest tree around. The birds don’t fly to me. The rabbits don’t eat grass under me. The squirrels don’t climb to my top. Nobody needs me or loves me,” replied the sad tree. After knowing the reason, the family had a meeting. Joey suggested making a seat under the sad tree. Joey’s father said he could help make a seat around the tree. The family would sit under the tree and the tree wouldn’t feel sad anymore. When Joey told his special friends the tree was sad, they decided to do what they could to help make the sad tree happy again. Early the next morning, when Joey woke up, he noticed birds singing happily in the little tree and saw squirrels running up and down in it. Rabbits were eating the fresh grass around the tree. The little tree was happy again. Joey ran inside to tell the good news to his family. Joey’s mother and father went into the yard and saw the happy tree. “Let’s start to build the seats around the tree. I will need help to build them. Get the nails (钉子)for me, Joey,” said the father. “I can help you hold the nails, Dad,” said Joey’s sister. 1．Why did the tree feel sad? A．Because Joey didn’t talk to it.

We should have three meals a day and each meal should be balanced. Breakfast is the most important meal. It gives us energy to start a new day. We can have some bread, eggs, milk and fruits. But some people skip breakfast because they are too busy or they want to lose weight. This is not a good idea. Skipping breakfast can make us feel tired and hungry easily, and it may even affect our study and work. Lunch should be a proper meal. We can have some rice, meat, vegetables and soup. It helps us keep energetic in the afternoon. Dinner should be light. We can have some porridge, vegetables and a small amount of meat. Eating too much at dinner can make us uncomfortable when we sleep. In addition, we should also pay attention to the food we eat. We should choose fresh and healthy food and avoid junk food. Junk food is high in fat, sugar and salt, which is bad for our health. Remember, having good eating habits can make us healthy and happy. 1．Why is breakfast the most important meal? A．Because it can make us lose weight. B．Because it gives us energy to start a new day. C．Because it is delicious. D．Because it is easy to prepare. 2．What does the underlined “skip” mean in Paragraph 2? A．跳绳 B．突然离开 C．略过 D．当领队 3．Why should dinner be light? A．Because we don’t need much energy at night.

The problem began when Mr. Smith wanted to build a new gate between their houses. He didn’t tell Mr. Brown about his plan because they weren’t good friends. Mr. Brown was afraid the gate would be too big for the narrow lane. They started to argue a lot. The small garden became like a wall between them. They couldn’t reach an agreement. Their family members also joined the argument. The situation seemed very bad. One day, Mr. Brown’s son sent him an online message: “Living in peace with your neighbours is priceless. It cannot be bought with money. Good neighbours make a house feel more like a home. “After reading this, Mr. Brown understood something important. He decided to do something different. He went to Mr. Smith’s house and knocked on the door. He didn’t shout. He spoke kindly and respectfully and suggested a new plan: “We could share the cost and build a double gate that both families could use easily.” Mr. Smith was happy to hear this. They finally reached an agreement. Now, the new gate stands between their houses, but it has become a symbol of their friendship. This experience shows us that showing respect and communicating properly are the best ways to solve problems between people. 1．Why was Mr. Brown worried about the new gate? A．Because the gate would be too big for the narrow lane. B．Because the gate would cost too much money. C．Because Mr. Smith didn’t talk to him first.

C．Neighbours should never build gates between houses. D．The government should help neighbours agree with each other. （二十三） Rainforests (热带雨林) are some of the most amazing places on Earth. They cover only about 6% of the world’s land, but are home to more than half of all living things. These dense forests are full of life, from tiny insects to large animals, and from small plants to tall trees. The rainforest has different layers (层). The top layer is called the emergent layer, where the tallest trees reach up to 70 meters. Under that is the canopy, a thick layer of leaves and branches that stops most sunlight from reaching the layers below. Next is the understory, with smaller trees and bushes. The last layer is the forest floor, where only a little sunlight gets through. Many rainforest animals have special skills to live in their layers. For example, sloths (树懒) hang from the canopy branches. Their long claws help them stay there, and their slow movement helps them save energy. Toucans (大嘴鸟) have big beaks (鸟嘴) to reach fruit on thin branches that can’t hold their weight. On the forest floor, jaguars use their spots to hide in the shadows while hunting. Rainforests are important for the whole world. They take in carbon dioxide (二氧化碳) and give out oxygen, which helps keep the air clean. They also help control the world’s weather. But rainforests are in danger. Every year, large areas are cut down for wood or to make space for farms. This destroys the homes of many animals and plants, and may even change the world’s climate. 1．What percentage of the world’s land do rainforests cover? A．About 6%. B．About 16%. C．About 26%. D．About 36%. 2．What does the word “dense” mean in the first paragraph? A．Dry. B．Thick with plants. C．Cold. D．Easy to walk through (穿过). 3．Why do toucans have big beaks? A．To hang from branches. B．To hide from animals. C．To reach fruit on thin branches. D．To run fast on the forest floor. 4．Put the layers of the rainforest from top to bottom. ①forest floor  ②canopy  ③understory  ④emergent layer A．②-④-①-③ B．④-②-③-① C．②-①-④-③ D．④-①-②-③ 5．What is the main idea of the passage? A．How animals live in the rainforest. B．The layers of the rainforest. C．Why rainforests are amazing and important. D．How to cut down rainforests. （二十四） A great scientist, Marie Curie was the first person to win two Nobel Prizes. Born in Poland, Marie loved science from a young age. At that time, women couldn’t go to university in Poland. So she worked hard to save money and went to Paris to study. She lived a simple life—sometimes she even forgot to eat because she was too busy reading or doing experiments. Later, she met her husband Pierre, and they worked together in a small, cold shed. For four years, they stirred (搅拌) tons of mineral ore (矿石) every day to find a new element. Finally, they discovered radium (镭). This discovery changed science a lot. Marie had great learning methods. First, she focused on her goals. Nothing could affect her. Second, she learned by doing—she never just read books. She did experiments again and again, even when she failed. Third, she kept learning all her life. Even though she won the Nobel Prizes, she never stopped studying new things. From Marie Curie, we learn that if we focus on our goals, ________, and never give up, we can achieve great things. 1．Why did Marie Curie go to Paris to study? A．Her family moved to Paris. B．Paris had the best science labs in the world. C．Her husband worked there. D．Women couldn’t go to university in Poland then. 2．What does the underlined word “shed” in Paragraph 2 probably mean?

A．The Life of Pierre Curie. B．The History of Nobel Prizes. C．How to Discover a New Element. D．Marie Curie: A Great Learner and Scientist. （二十五） Can you explain “zero”? Can you do addition and subtraction (加减法)? Most people can, but did you know bees can too? A study finds bees have better math abilities—after training, they can tell even numbers (ending with 0, 2, 4, 6, 8) from odd ones (ending with 1, 3, 5, 7, 9). Some Australian scientists put up different cards with an odd or even number of triangles (三角形). Then they trained the first group of bees to choose odd numbers, and the second group to choose even numbers. Bees got sugar water for right choices and got bitter water for wrong ones. Soon, all bees learned to tell odd/even numbers, choosing correctly 80% of the time. Later, scientists added new cards with 11 and 12 (never seen in training), but bees still chose right 70% of the time. Surprisingly, bees even learned numbers more quickly than people. Scientists don’t know how bees learn so quickly, but they think finding the answer could help build better, faster computers—especially since a bee’s brain is smaller than ours! 1．How does the passage start? A．By listing facts. B．By giving examples. C．By asking questions. D．By using pictures. 2．Which of the following card should the second group of bees fly to? ①    ②    ③    ④ A．①③ B．②③ C．①② D．③④ 3．What can we learn about the bees’ performance after adding new cards? A．The bees could choose the right numbers 80% of the time. B．The bees failed to tell odd and even numbers of the new cards. C．The bees still made correct choices about 70% of the time. D．The bees learned the new numbers more slowly than people. 4．What can we learn from the last paragraph? A．Scientists know how bees learn numbers. B．Bees like odd numbers better than even numbers. C．Scientists know why bees can tell different numbers. D．Bees may be able to contribute to science and technology. 5．Where can you probably read this passage? A．A storybook for young kids. B．A science magazine about animals. C．A history textbook about inventions. D．An advertisement for beekeeping products. （二十六） Look! Up in the sky! Not a bird or a plane, it’s an eVTOL! It’s also known as an air taxi. It started its first journey from Shenzhen to Zhuhai, completing the 55-kilometer trip in about 20 minutes. This marks an important development of this exciting new form of transport. Air taxis use high technology to take off and land like a helicopter (直升机). So they don’t need long runways. Instead of using traditional engines, air taxis use electric motors (电动机). Air taxis can fly without a pilot. These air taxis have several propellers to help them stay safe in the sky. They also use large batteries to let them fly far and fast. Air taxis can make people’s travelling faster and safer. They can help improve traffic jams, with their direct point-to-point travel. They can save time for people. The cost of taking an air taxi may be more expensive than ground transport, but the travel can be up to five times faster. With the help of the computers, the air taxis can fly safely in the sky. That is to say, the computers can plan the flight of every air taxi in advance (提前), so that they won’t have any accidents in the sky. The air taxi is also a better choice for cities. As an eco-friendly choice, it produces fewer emissions (排放) than traditional cars, improving air quality. The air taxi has already been used in the Paris Olympics. Some people think this is a transport that will become widely used. Many companies and researchers are developing this transport and they believe air taxis will have a huge market in the coming years. 1．Where did the air taxi start its first journey? A．In Shenzhen. B．In Zhuhai. C．In Guangzhou. D．In Beijing. 2．Which of the following helps air taxis fly far and fast? A．Long runways. B．Traditional engines. C．Large batteries. D．Computers. 3．What can we infer about air taxis from the passage? A．They need pilots to control flights. B．They are cheaper than ground transport. C．They have been widely used around the world. D．They are less harmful to the environment. 4．What is the purpose of the passage? A．To compare different ways to travel. B．To discuss the future users of air taxis. C．To introduce air taxis as a new transport. D．To show the possible risks of taking air taxis. 5．What will the writer probably discuss after the last paragraph? A．The history of air taxis. B．The problems of air taxis. C．The benefits of air taxis. D．The future of air taxis. （二十七） The power of words became clear to me several years ago when I ran into great trouble in my first job. There were some unclear words from a certain customer, and I completely misunderstood them, which brought some troubles for my company. As a result, I had a “serious” talk with my boss and I felt like the biggest loser on Earth. And just when I needed it, came the strength in these words “You need to lean back a little to leap further”. These words came from Jessie, an old friend of mine. It turned out she was telling me not to rush—taking a short break first would help me achieve more in the end. They made me feel better rapidly and I realized what power encouraging words had. Soft, sincere and encouraging words from friends can give you strength in hard times. They can act as the light of hope in your time of darkness. They can make you smile and help you forget your worries. Using encouraging words is an art and it is a symbol of one’s “emotional intelligence”. You must have read the famous poem “Don’t Quit (放弃)”. It says that sometimes, things go wrong but you should not quit. A few words of encouragement can really raise one’s spirits and make a difference. 1．Why did the writer get into trouble in her first job? A．Because it was her first job. B．Because she misunderstood a customer. C．Because her boss was serious. D．Because she did not like her customer. 2．How did the writer feel after finishing the talk with her boss? A．Sad. B．Serious. C．Strange. D．Surprised. 3．What can we infer from the underlined sentence in Paragraph 2? A．Jessie asked the writer to be braver. B．Jessie asked the writer to jump further. C．Jessie wanted the writer to go home. D．Jessie wanted the writer to take it easy. 4．Which is NOT the power of encouraging words? A．To improve intelligence. B．To give people strength. C．To leave worries behind. D．To remain hopeful. 5．What is the main idea of the passage? A．A good friend can always cheer you on. B．Words are more important than actions. C．Friends can raise our spirits in hard times. D．Words can be the light of hope in darkness. （二十八） Lightning usually destroys (破坏) trees it hits. But scientists have found a kind of amazing tree. They not only live through lightning strikes (击中) but also grow because of them! For years, scientists thought lightning was only bad for trees. But as they explored places like the Amazon rainforest, they started to think there could be trees that fight against lightning. It wasn’t until about 100 years ago that such “super trees” were found. Now, they know of a tree that uses lightning’s power to kill nearby trees and get more sunlight and nutrients (营养) for itself. In 2015, scientist Evan Gora saw a Dipteryx oleifera tree. It was hit by strong lightning. It wasn’t badly harmed. However, the neighboring trees were killed. Scientists thought this tree could deal with lightning, but there was no way to be sure. Gora and his team saw more of these trees that grew well after lightning strikes. So, they did a study. They followed 93 trees struck by lightning for 2-6 years. They found that all 9 Dipteryx oleifera trees in the study grew well, only with little harm. But 84 other trees were seriously hurt, and 64% of them died within two years. These Dipteryx oleifera trees are very tall and have wide tops, making them 68% more likely to be struck by lightning than other trees. During the study, one of the Dipteryx trees was struck twice in 5 years but still grew well. At present, more studies suggest that these trees attract (吸引) lightning on purpose to destroy other trees and grow better. Scientists are not sure how these trees survive lightning, but they guess these trees may have the ability to carry electricity (电). They are also interested in other trees with similar characteristics. 1．What does the word “them” in bold refer to in Paragraph 1? A．Scientists. B．Lightning strikes. C．Nutrients. D．Amazing trees. 2．What is special about the Dipteryx oleifera tree? A．It dies quickly after lightning strikes. B．It takes in nutrients directly from lightning. C．It grows better after being struck by lightning. D．It protects itself by hiding under other trees. 3．Why do Dipteryx oleifera trees attract lightning? A．To get more water from the sky. B．To kill nearby trees for growth. C．To become shorter and stronger. D．To protect other trees around them. 4．Where is the text probably taken from? A．A science magazine. B．A story book. C．A safety guide. D．A travel guide. 5．What might scientists do next according to the text? A．Plant more Dipteryx oleifera trees. B．Study how trees attract lightning better. C．Find out where Dipteryx oleifera trees live. D．Look for more trees that can survive lightning. （二十九） Today, there are still many people who don’t really know what a home organizer (收纳师) does. Many people think that home organizers just tell people they have too many things and throw them away. But that’s really not how we work. Here’s what great home organizers really do. We don’t judge (评判) your room. Instead, we try to make it better. We know life can be busy, and that’s why rooms get untidy. That’s okay! We come to help, not to make you feel bad.

Wang Huan is one of them. Wang, a 36-year-old worker, enjoys travelling. In the past, she and her family were always on the go during holidays. They rushed to busy cities, discovering more places and sightseeing. That always made them tired. Now, their holidays are more about spending meaningful moments together as a family. “I used to think of such holidays as a waste of time, but now they fit our family perfectly. We choose places with playgrounds and fun activities for kids. We can relax and needn’t worry about too many people or long waiting lines. Just being together with family at hotels can make our holidays delightful,” said Wang. More people are choosing “lying-flat” travel as a way to get away from busy routines (路线) and find inner (内心的) peace. However, this doesn’t mean they will stop exploring famous places. They are still open to other travel ideas. “Travel isn’t just about visiting many places. It’s about experiencing the place you’re in and learning about the local life. The good times we create together really matter.” Wang said. 1．How does the writer start the passage? A．By asking a question. B．By telling a travel story. C．By giving some advice.

Li Mei showed her picture proudly. It was a big house with her family, and she wrote “My Dream Job: Take Care of My Family” under it. Mr. Tom frowned a little. “Wait, Li Mei,” he said gently. “Is taking care of family a ‘job’? I thought you might draw a doctor, a teacher, or an artist.” Li Mei’s face turned red. She sat down and said quietly to me, “Why doesn’t he understand? My grandma always says a good family life is the best ‘work’ for us.” Later, our Chinese teacher, Miss Zhang, talked to Mr. Tom. She explained, “In China, many people think supporting family is a very important life goal—sometimes even like a ‘career’ we spend life on.” Mr. Tom suddenly understood. He went to Li Mei and said, “I’m sorry for misunderstanding. Your dream is warm and meaningful. In America, we also love family, but we usually call this a ‘life wish’ instead of a ‘job’.” They both laughed. 1．Which picture best shows the underlined word “frowned” in paragraph 2?

Can we go to Hainan for the holiday, Dad?” I ask. “Not this time,” Dad answers. “We’re going to your mum’s hometown to see grandparents!” On the day of our trip, we get up early to catch the train. The journey takes more than seven hours. In the evening, we take a bus to the village. At the end of the road, Grandpa and my little cousin are standing in the cold wind, waiting for us. We run to greet them. Grandpa pulls our heavy luggage into the house. “Ah, home again!” Mum says with a smile. Grandma, aunt, and uncle are busy cooking in the kitchen.

He got this honor because he kept doing volunteer work for a long time. This student is from Fendong High School. He became a volunteer guide at local museums eight years ago—he started when he was just 6. His parents love ancient things, and that made him want to do this work too. Wei loves history very much. Every weekend and holiday, he goes to museums in Taiyuan, like Shanxi Museum and Taiyuan Museum. He tells visitors about the ancient things there. At first, he found it hard.

Now he can even connect stories from different exhibitions in the museums. By now, he has spent over 1,000 hours on volunteer work and become a “young host” for one museum. “At first, volunteering was fun,” he said. “But now it feels like a duty to share our culture with others.” His hard work won lots of praise.

Most middle school students plan little for their future jobs, because there is too little help from their school or family. To help students make job plans, the students from a middle school in Tianjin started a project called “Dian Zhi Cheng Shi”. “Most students want to know more about different jobs,” said Wang Xinran, a project member. To meet the students’ needs, the team interviewed 32 people with different jobs and presented their interviews on TV shows. The people shared true stories behind each job to make students learn about the jobs in depth. A team member, Liu Jinyan, said his most unforgettable interview was with a photographer. “In the past, I thought being a photographer was cool. But now I know that they have to face lots of problems. They also need to talk with different people.” But the project doesn’t mean to make the students disappointed by telling them the problems. “We want to show people’s love and hard work, not the bad sides,” said a team member, Zhao Yajie. “The project’s name means to turn a job into a poem. We don’t think working is just about bread and milk. It should be like a poem, full of love and beauty. And we hope our project can help students know that.” 1．Why do most students plan little for their future jobs? A．Because they have no dream jobs. B．Because they don’t want to work.

I didn’t say no, even though I was a little worried. The lessons were two hours long, three days a week. One day, I washed and seasoned (为……调味) a chicken for cooking in an oven (烤箱). It took me 30 minutes to make mashed potatoes, apple pies and carrot pieces. When the chicken was ready, I cut it, rolled (卷) it up and filled them with apple pies while listening to my mom’s teaching steps. The lessons were boring sometimes, and I wanted to stop. But Mom refused. Finally, our housework lessons lasted for one year. Now I understand the importance of doing housework and I’m more independent too.

His parents never really understood his attachment to his grandparents’ cottage. Michael began to draw the picture: the cottage, the trees, the path, and the lake. But the more he tried to draw the small details, the harder it became to see them clearly in his mind. Just then, the phone rang. Michael heard his mum saying something on the phone.

Then how can we set and reach life goals? What are life goals? Life goals are what we want to reach. They are meaningful. They are personal plans, but they can be shown in many different ways. Why should we set goals in life? We all have dreams. We know what makes us happy and what we would love to try out. It is a useful way to set clear goals. First, it can tell us what to do. Second, if we know what we want to be clearly, we will be in the right direction. Third, it can make us live a happy and meaningful life. How do we set life goals? Here is an example. Lisa wants to be a teacher. She sets her goal as “starting her own school by the end of the year”. It isn’t a simple goal like “helping her brother with his homework”. Though her goal is difficult to reach in a short time, she will try her best. The clearer our goals are, the better results we will get. 1．Which of the following is TRUE about people’s life goals? A．They are just for fun. B．They are just for finding jobs. C．They are similar to each other’s. D．They are different in many ways. 2．What does the underlined word “direction” mean in Chinese? A．方向 B．习惯 C．思维 D．判断 3．Why does the writer give Lisa’s example? A．To tell us what life goals are. B．To show a different life goal. C．To let us see a meaningful life. D．To let us make our life goals clearer. 4．How does the writer talk about the topic? A．By only giving facts. B．By asking questions. C．In the order of time. D．In the order of space. 5．Which of the following views may the writer agree with? A．Goals can make us unhappy. B．We can’t be successful if we don’t set life goals. C．Goals can help make our dreams come true. D．Our life will be simple if we have no life goals. 【答案】1．D 2．A 3．D 4．B 5．C 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲述了人生目标的重要性以及如何设定和实现人生目标。 1．细节理解题。根据文章第2段“They are personal plans, but they can be shown in many different ways.”可知，人生目标可以通过许多不同的方式表现出来。故选D。 2．词句猜测题。根据文章第3段“if we know what we want to be clearly, we will be in the right direction.”结合语境可知，如果我们清楚地知道自己想成为什么，我们就会朝着正确的方向前进。因此，“direction”意为“方向”。故选A。 3．推理判断题。根据文章第4段“Here is an example. Lisa wants to be a teacher. ... The clearer our goals are, the better results we will get.”可知，我们的目标越清晰，得到的结果就越好。因此，作者举Lisa的例子是为了让我们的人生目标更清晰。故选D。 4．篇章结构题。文章通过提问“What are life goals?”、“Why should we set goals in life?”和“How do we set life goals?”展开讨论，所以是提问的方式谈论主题的。故选B。 5．观点态度题。根据文章第3段“it can make us live a happy and meaningful life.”可知，目标可以让我们过上幸福而有意义的生活；以及根据第4段“The clearer our goals are, the better results we will get.”可知，目标越清晰，得到的结果就越好。由此可推知，作者认为目标有助于实现梦想。故选C。 （二） Should we be polite to AI and say “thank you”? He Liyan, 15, Beijing New Oriental Foreign Language School at Yangzhou, Jiangsu I think we should say “please” and “thank you” to AI. Even though AI has no feelings, being polite is still good for us. AI helps us in life, just like a person. We say “thanks” to people who help us, so why not say it to AI? It helps us remember to be thankful. Also, using polite words with AI helps us form good habits. When we say “please” instead of giving orders, we learn to be kind. This kindness can also help us with friends and teachers. So, being polite to AI is not for the machine, it’s for making ourselves better. Shao Jiaxi,13, Xian Gaoxin No.1 High School, Shaanxi I don’t think we need to be polite to AI. First, it doesn’t have feelings. If I say “thank you”, my phone won’t feel happy. If I say “please”, my computer won’t work faster. We use AI to do things quickly, so why waste time on extra (多余的) words? Once I asked my AI, “Please wake me up gently”, but it still played the alarm very loudly! So, be polite to people, but just talk simply to AI. Don’t worry—it will never get angry! Xiao Ziyu, 13, Suci Middle School, Sichuan I think it depends on the person. AI doesn’t have feelings, so “please” and “thank you” won’t change how it works. But using these words can help people be more polite in real life. We don’t need a rule for this. Everyone can choose. If you want to be quick, just say what you need clearly. If you want to practice good manners, using polite words is a good idea. 1．According to He Liyan, why should we be polite to AI? A．Because it is a rule we must follow. B．Because AI can understand our feelings. C．Because it helps us become better people. D．Because it makes AI work faster and better. 2．Why does Shao Jiaxi talk about his experience of setting an alarm with AI? A．Because he believes all alarms should be set for 6 a.m. B．Because he wants to show that AI can wake him up gently. C．Because he thinks AI likes to play loud music in the morning. D．Because he wants to show that using polite words to AI is useless. 3．What does Xiao Ziyu suggest we do? A．Never say “thank you” or “please” to AI. B．Make a clear rule about how to talk to AI. C．Always use polite words when talking to AI. D．Make our own choice based on our habits and needs. 4．Which of the following is TRUE according to the text? A．All three students agree that AI itself has no feelings. B．Shao Jiaxi’s AI alarm worked perfectly after he said “please”. C．Xiao Ziyu thinks saying “please” to AI will change how it works. D．He Liyan believes being polite to AI cannot help us keep good habits. 5．Where can you probably read this text? A．In a story book. B．In a history textbook. C．In a student magazine. D．In a guidebook for using AI tools. 【答案】1．C 2．D 3．D 4．A 5．C 【导语】本文呈现了三位学生对“是否应对AI使用礼貌用语”这一话题的不同观点。 1．细节理解题。根据何丽妍的观点“being polite to AI is not for the machine, it’s for making ourselves better.”可知，她认为对AI礼貌是为了让我们自己变得更好。故选C。 2．推理判断题。根据邵嘉曦讲述定闹钟的经历后总结的“So, be polite to people, but just talk simply to AI.”可知，他用这个例子说明对AI使用礼貌用语没有实际作用。故选D。 3．细节理解题。根据肖子玉的观点“We don’t need a rule for this. Everyone can choose.”可知，她建议根据个人习惯和需求自行选择。故选D。 4．细节理解题。根据“AI has no feelings,”和“it doesn’t have feelings.”和“AI doesn’t have feelings,”可知，三位学生都提到AI没有感情，因此A项正确。故选A。 5．推理判断题。通读全文可知，本文讨论学生群体关心的AI使用礼仪话题，以学生署名投稿形式呈现，最可能发表于学生杂志。故选C。 （三） In the age of the internet, do young people still need to spend time learning some everyday life skills?

On Saturdays, I hang out with Tom, eating and riding. Ken and I go to the beach on Sundays. At school, Larry is my best friend. I don’t spend much time with him over the weekends because he likes to play video games at home just by himself. I’m cool with it because I can visit other friends. I value (重视) his friendship a lot because Larry cares about me and often gives great advice to my problems. Anna, an introvert (性格内向的人)I think nothing is more enjoyable than staying on the sofa by myself with a great book in hand. However, I do also need time with my two best friends, Sue and Tina. Sue is so full of life that her jokes bring much joy and laughter to my quiet days. Tina is more similar to me, and she understands me better than I do. We often take a long walk to share our feelings. I love both my friends and need their different personalities to make my life colorful. Well, there we have it from the horse’s mouth.

It might not sound too difficult, but sometimes it can go wrong and take a lot of time. To deal with this problem, Zhang Xirui from Shenzhen came up with a useful tool—a smart homework collection robot. This won him first prize in the 20th Guangdong Provincial Children’s Invention Awards. The robot uses radio frequency identification (RFID,射频识别) technology—a reader and a special tag (标签) that can share information without touching each other. This way, it can help find and know what it is looking for. Each student’s notebook has a special RFID tag with their name and the subject. Students only need to put their notebooks on the robot, and the machine “sees” each notebook, reads its tag and takes it out of the name list. “Teachers can check who hasn’t handed in homework by connecting their phones with the robot through Wi-Fi,” the 13-year-old student said. The robot is the second-generation (第二代) model made by Zhang. Now, he’s planning to develop a third-generation and hopes to use ultra-high-frequency (超高频) radio technology to read lots of RFID tags from far away. That means if you stick a special tag on your notebook, the robot can read the information from a thick stack (堆) of notebooks at once. Zhang believes this is the key to how artificial intelligence can make life easier for us. Zhang dreams of becoming a scientist when he grows up. “I have tried making model airplanes and other creative projects. Inventing has brought me joy and happiness,” he said. 1．Why did Zhang Xirui invent a smart collection robot? A．Because his father was a scientist. B．Because he was the class representative. C．Because his teacher asked him to do that. D．Because passing students’ school work could go wrong and took a lot of time. 2．How old is Zhang Xirui? A．12. B．13. C．14. D．15. 3．How does the robot work? a. The machine reads the notebook’s tag. b. The machine takes the notebook out of the name list. c. The machine “sees” the notebook. d. Students only need to put their notebooks on the robot. A．d→c→a→b B．d→b→c→a C．a→b→c→d D．c→b→d→a 4．How do teachers know who hasn’t handed in homework? A．By touching the robot. B．By turning on the computer. C．By calling Zhang Xirui. D．By connecting their phones with the robot through Wi-Fi. 5．What’s the best title for the passage? A．A Smart Robot Helper at School B．A Kind Boy C．A Fun Project D．A Science Report 【答案】1．D 2．B 3．A 4．D 5．A 【导语】本文讲述深圳学生张希瑞为解决作业传递耗时易错问题，发明智能作业收集机器人，还计划进一步改进，他梦想成为科学家。 1．细节理解题。根据第一段“It might not sound too difficult, but sometimes it can go wrong and take a lot of time.”以及第二段“To deal with this problem, Zhang Xirui from Shenzhen came up with a useful tool—a smart homework collection robot.”可知，传递学生作业可能会出错且耗时，所以张希瑞发明了智能作业收集机器人。故选D。 2．细节理解题。根据第三段“‘Teachers can check who hasn’t handed in homework by connecting their phones with the robot through Wi-Fi,’ the 13-year-old student said.”可知，张希瑞13岁。故选B。 3．细节理解题。根据第三段“Students only need to put their notebooks on the robot, and the machine ‘sees’ each notebook, reads its tag and takes it out of the name list.”可知，学生们只需要把笔记本放在机器人上，机器会“看到”每个笔记本，读取标签并将其从名单中取出，所以正确顺序是d→c→a→b。故选A。 4．细节理解题。根据第三段“Teachers can check who hasn’t handed in homework by connecting their phones with the robot through Wi-Fi”可知，老师可以通过Wi-Fi将手机与机器人连接来查看谁没有交作业。故选D。 5．最佳标题题。根据全文内容可知，本文主要介绍了张希瑞发明的智能作业收集机器人，该机器人能帮助老师快速识别未交作业的学生，所以最佳标题是“学校里的智能机器人助手”。故选A。 （十四） A rich man decided to build a library for a middle school.

I hate that!” According to a website, these problems are usual. Most teenagers have a difficult relationship with their siblings (兄弟姐妹). They fight a lot. Usually, teenagers are not worried about their siblings when things go badly for siblings. And they are not proud of them when things go well! But most grown-ups (成年人) really care about their siblings and have a good relationship. So when do things change? According to the website, the answer is: Around the age of 25. Madison is 28 years old. Her brother, Tyler, is 26. “I remember big, terrible fights with Tyler,” says Madison. “But now, our relationship is very different. We get on well with each other and we don’t fight. We go out together two or three times a month and we have a great time. We’re interested in the same things.” But for teenage brothers and sisters with difficult relationships, what can they do? How can they get on well? Here are a few ideas. * When your brother or sister uses your things, don’t get angry about that—learn to share. * See your brother or sister as a friend—and be nice! * Don’t tell people your brother’s or sister’s secrets. * Give your brother or sister some time alone when he or she needs it. * Of course, the other answer is: Just wait ten years! 1．How does the writer start the passage? A．By telling a true story. B．By asking some questions. C．By giving useful advice. D．By showing some problems. 2．What does the underlined word “that” refer to (指)? A．Fighting a lot. B．Using things without asking first. C．Having siblings. D．Learning to share. 3．What can we learn from the website? A．Teenagers are worried about siblings all the time. B．Teenagers are proud of siblings when they’re happy. C．Teenagers always help siblings during different times. D．Teenagers don’t care about relationships with siblings. 4．When does the relationship between grown-ups and their siblings change? A．Around the age of 25. B．Younger than 15. C．Older than 30. D．Around the age of 35. 5．Why does the writer write this passage? A．To tell some stories about happy sibling relationships. B．To discuss possible reasons for fights between siblings. C．To show sibling problems are common and give advice. D．To invite teenagers to join the discussion about siblings. 【答案】1．D 2．B 3．D 4．A 5．C 【导语】本文主要讲述了青少年与兄弟姐妹之间常见的问题，并提供了改善关系的建议。 1．细节理解题。根据“I don’t get on (相处) well with my brother. ... My sister uses my things and she doesn’t ask me first!”可知，作者是通过展示具体问题开始文章的。故选D。 2．词句猜测题。根据“My sister uses my things and she doesn’t ask me first! I hate that!”可知，我妹妹用我的东西，而且她都不先问问我！我讨厌这样！因此that指代前文提及的妹妹不先询问就使用我的东西这一行为。故选B。 3．细节理解题。根据“Usually, teenagers are not worried about their siblings when things go badly for siblings. And they are not proud (骄傲) of them when things go well!”可知，青少年通常不关心兄弟姐妹的关系。故选D。 4．细节理解题。根据“So when do things change? According to the website, the answer is: Around the age of 25.”可知，在大约25岁时，成人和他们的兄弟姐妹之间的关系会改变。故选A。 5．主旨大意题。本文主要是讨论了青少年与兄弟姐妹之间常见的问题，并提供了改善关系的建议。故选C。 （十七） People say that robots will do human jobs with the development of AI. A report shows that AI can do 25% of the work of humans. Thankfully, there is not all bad news. There are still things AI cannot do. These jobs need human’s feelings and new ideas. Martin Ford, a writer of AI topics, says AI cannot perform as well as humans in three kinds of jobs. First, the really creative jobs. Humans can come up with new ideas and build something new. However, AI mostly uses the knowledge it learned before. Second, the communicating jobs, such as nurses, business leaders and reporters. “These people need to understand others deeply. I think it’ll be a long time before AI has this kind of ability,” says Ford. Third, the jobs that need lots of dexterity（灵活性）and problem-solving abilities.AI often works under the direction of humans. It’s hard for AI to solve problems all by itself. In short, AI was made by humans and it can help humans live a better life. If you are worried about your future jobs, you can try to look for ones that need your high emotional quotient（EQ）and creative thinking. Those are where humans are different from AI. 1．What percent of human work can AI do? A．15% B．25% C．35% 2．Which kind of job does Martin Ford think AI is not good at first? A．Creative jobs. B．Communicating jobs. C．Jobs needing dexterity. 3．Why is it difficult for AI to do jobs needing problem-solving abilities? A．Because it can’t come up with new ideas. B．Because it often needs humans to direct it. C．Because it can’t understand others deeply. 4．What is the Chinese meaning of the underlined word “communicating”? A．创造的 B．交流的 C．灵活的 5．What is the main idea of the passage? A．AI will take all human jobs in the future. B．Martin Ford has written many books about AI. C．AI can do some work but can’t replace humans in certain jobs. 【答案】1．B 2．A 3．B 4．B 5．C 【导语】本文讲述AI能做部分人类工作，某些工作仍无法取代人类。 1．细节理解题。根据“A report shows that AI can do 25% of the work of humans.”可知，AI能做人类工作的25%。故选B。 2．细节理解题。根据“First, the really creative jobs. Humans can come up with new ideas and build something new. However, AI mostly uses the knowledge it learned before.”可知，Martin Ford认为AI不擅长创意类工作。故选A。 3．细节理解题。根据“Third, the jobs that need lots of dexterity and problem-solving abilities. AI often works under the direction of humans. It’s hard for AI to solve problems all by itself.”可知，AI难以做需要解决问题能力的工作是因为它常需要人类指导。故选B。 4．词句猜测题。根据“such as nurses, business leaders and reporters. ‘These people need to understand others deeply.’”可知，护士、商业领袖、记者这类职业需要和人交流互动，所以“communicating”意为“交流的”。故选B。 5．主旨大意题。文章讲述了AI可以做一部分人类的工作，但在有创造力的工作、交流类工作、需要灵活性和解决问题能力的工作上无法像人类一样完成，即AI能做一些工作但在某些工作中无法取代人类。故选C。 （十八） The way you look is special. Do you know what I mean by that? We all look a little different. Some of us are tall. Some of us are fat. The point is, all of us have our own look—our own face. Sometimes, we might feel bad about looking different. We might feel like we look ugly or weird (怪异的). But our differences are what makes us special. I recently watched a speech by a man named Robert Hoge. Hoge was born with a strange-looking face. His mother worried about the difficulties he would face in life. But Hoge didn’t give up. Strangers would stare at him or even make fun of him. But he didn’t care. He decided to accept his face and feel confident in himself. He has gone on to live an amazing life. It’s hard when you feel like you don’t look “normal” or “perfect”. But the truth is, no one is perfect. The important thing to remember is that you are special, no matter what you look like. 1．Which of the following is more important according to the writer? A．Being tall. B．Being beautiful. C．Being confident. 2．Who is Robert Hoge? A．A man the writer heard a speech from. B．The writer’s best friend. C．A man who looks perfect. 3．What did Hoge’s mother worry about? A．Hoge’s speech was bad. B．Hoge would have difficulties in life. C．Hoge didn’t like his face. 4．How did Hoge live after accepting his face? A．He lived an amazing life. B．He lived a sad life. C．He lived a boring life. 5．What does the writer try to tell us? A．Everyone is perfect. B．No one is perfect. C．Only Hoge is special. 【答案】1．C 2．A 3．B 4．A 5．B 【导语】本文是一篇议论文，主要阐述了每个人的外貌都是独特的，不必因与他人不同而自卑，要接纳自己、保持自信，并以Robert Hoge为例说明这一观点。 1．推理判断题。根据文中Robert Hoge接受自身外貌并变得自信，以及“The important thing to remember is that you are special, no matter what you look like.”可知，作者认为自信更重要。故选C。 2．细节理解题。根据“I recently watched a speech by a man named Robert Hoge.”可知，他是作者听其演讲的一个人。故选A。 3．细节理解题。根据“His mother worried about the difficulties he would face in life.”可知，他的母亲担心他在生活中会遇到困难。故选B。 4．细节理解题。根据“He decided to accept his face and feel confident in himself.

The important thing to remember is that you are special, no matter what you look like.”可知，作者试图告诉我们没有人是完美的。故选B。 （十九） You are thirsty after playing sports or riding home from school. A cold drink may be great. But something that looks cool may not be good for your health. There are plenty of “energy drinks” on the market. Most of them have beautiful colors and cool names. But after a careful check, you may find that most energy drinks have lots of caffeine (咖啡因) in them. These drinks are mainly for young people, students, busy people and sports players. Makers sometimes say their drinks make you better at sports and can keep you awake. But be careful not to drink too much. Caffeine is bad for health. Because of this, the Olympic Games have limited its use. Caffeine in most energy drinks is almost as strong as that in a cup of coffee or tea. Just one box of energy drink can make you excited, have difficulty sleeping and can even cause heart problems. Scientists say that teenagers should be stopped from taking drinks with a lot of caffeine in them. So we should stay away from the energy drinks to keep healthy. 1．The energy drinks are popular with ________. A．children and women B．policemen, students and busy people C．old people, young people and students D．students, busy people, young people and sports players 2．What does the underlined word “limited” mean in Chinese? A．限制 B．唤醒 C．扩大 D．推广 3．What does the third paragraph mainly talk about? A．The uses of caffeine. B．The dangers of caffeine. C．The reason for heart problems. D．The causes of difficult sleeping. 4．What is the structure of the passage? A． B． C． D． 5．What’s the best title for the passage? A．What’s the use of energy drinks? B．Who can drink energy drinks? C．What’s in energy drinks? D．What should we drink? 【答案】1．D 2．A 3．B 4．B 5．C 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要讲述能量饮料虽外观吸引人、名称酷炫，但含有大量咖啡因，对人体健康存在危害，最终建议人们远离能量饮料以保持健康。 1．细节理解题。根据文章第二段“These drinks are mainly for young people, students, busy people and sports players.”可知，能量饮料主要针对年轻人、学生、忙碌人群和运动员。故选D。 2．词句猜测题。根据文章第三段“Caffeine is bad for health. Because of this, the Olympic Games have limited its use.”并结合选项可知，由于咖啡因对健康有害，奥运会已经限制了它的使用。因此limited意为“限制”。故选A。 3．主旨大意题。根据文章第三段“Caffeine is bad for health.”及后文“Just one box of energy drink can make you excited, have difficult sleeping and can even cause heart problems.”可知，该段核心讲述咖啡因的危害。故选B。 4．篇章结构题。文章第一段引出能量饮料话题，第二段介绍其针对人群与成分，第三段分析咖啡因的危害，第四段得出结论。整体采用“总-分-总”结构。故选B。 5．最佳标题题。文章核心在于揭示能量饮料中含有害的咖啡因及其健康风险，选项C“能量饮料里有什么”能准确概括这一主旨。故选C。 （二十） Joey was happy because he had many special friends—four squirrels, two rabbits, and many colorful birds. At the meal time, these wild animals came near to the family and they would feed these special friends. In the large yard stood thirteen trees of different sizes. One day, while Joey was playing with his sister under the trees, he noticed that a tree trunk had a sad look. He ran into the house to tell his mom about it. She told Joey to find the reason why it was sad. So Joey went into the yard , ran to the sad tree and asked, “Why are you unhappy?” “I am the smallest tree around. The birds don’t fly to me. The rabbits don’t eat grass under me. The squirrels don’t climb to my top. Nobody needs me or loves me,” replied the sad tree. After knowing the reason, the family had a meeting. Joey suggested making a seat under the sad tree. Joey’s father said he could help make a seat around the tree. The family would sit under the tree and the tree wouldn’t feel sad anymore. When Joey told his special friends the tree was sad, they decided to do what they could to help make the sad tree happy again. Early the next morning, when Joey woke up, he noticed birds singing happily in the little tree and saw squirrels running up and down in it. Rabbits were eating the fresh grass around the tree. The little tree was happy again. Joey ran inside to tell the good news to his family. Joey’s mother and father went into the yard and saw the happy tree. “Let’s start to build the seats around the tree. I will need help to build them. Get the nails (钉子)for me, Joey,” said the father. “I can help you hold the nails, Dad,” said Joey’s sister. 1．Why did the tree feel sad? A．Because Joey didn’t talk to it.

Recently, they felt quite worried and angry. The problem began when Mr. Smith wanted to build a new gate between their houses. He didn’t tell Mr. Brown about his plan because they weren’t good friends. Mr. Brown was afraid the gate would be too big for the narrow lane. They started to argue a lot. The small garden became like a wall between them. They couldn’t reach an agreement. Their family members also joined the argument. The situation seemed very bad. One day, Mr. Brown’s son sent him an online message: “Living in peace with your neighbours is priceless. It cannot be bought with money.

They cover only about 6% of the world’s land, but are home to more than half of all living things. These dense forests are full of life, from tiny insects to large animals, and from small plants to tall trees. The rainforest has different layers (层). The top layer is called the emergent layer, where the tallest trees reach up to 70 meters. Under that is the canopy, a thick layer of leaves and branches that stops most sunlight from reaching the layers below. Next is the understory, with smaller trees and bushes. The last layer is the forest floor, where only a little sunlight gets through. Many rainforest animals have special skills to live in their layers. For example, sloths (树懒) hang from the canopy branches. Their long claws help them stay there, and their slow movement helps them save energy. Toucans (大嘴鸟) have big beaks (鸟嘴) to reach fruit on thin branches that can’t hold their weight. On the forest floor, jaguars use their spots to hide in the shadows while hunting. Rainforests are important for the whole world. They take in carbon dioxide (二氧化碳) and give out oxygen, which helps keep the air clean. They also help control the world’s weather. But rainforests are in danger. Every year, large areas are cut down for wood or to make space for farms. This destroys the homes of many animals and plants, and may even change the world’s climate. 1．What percentage of the world’s land do rainforests cover? A．About 6%. B．About 16%. C．About 26%. D．About 36%. 2．What does the word “dense” mean in the first paragraph? A．Dry. B．Thick with plants. C．Cold. D．Easy to walk through (穿过). 3．Why do toucans have big beaks? A．To hang from branches. B．To hide from animals. C．To reach fruit on thin branches. D．To run fast on the forest floor. 4．Put the layers of the rainforest from top to bottom. ①forest floor  ②canopy  ③understory  ④emergent layer A．②-④-①-③ B．④-②-③-① C．②-①-④-③ D．④-①-②-③ 5．What is the main idea of the passage? A．How animals live in the rainforest. B．The layers of the rainforest. C．Why rainforests are amazing and important. D．How to cut down rainforests. 【答案】1．A 2．B 3．C 4．B 5．C 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了热带雨林的分布、分层结构、动植物适应性及其全球重要性，同时指出雨林面临的砍伐威胁。 1．细节理解题。根据“They cover only about 6% of the world’s land”可知，热带雨林仅覆盖全球约6%的陆地面积。故选A。 2．词句猜测题。根据“These dense forests are full of life”及后文对雨林生物多样性的描述可知，此处指茂密的森林，“dense”意为“植被茂密的”。故选B。 3．细节理解题。根据“Toucans (大嘴鸟) have big beaks (鸟嘴) to reach fruit on thin branches that can’t hold their weight.”可知，大嘴鸟的大鸟嘴用于够到细枝上的果实。故选C。 4．细节理解题。根据“The top layer is called the emergent layer…Under that is the canopy…Next is the understory…The last layer is the forest floor”可知，自上而下依次为：emergent layer→canopy→understory→forest floor，正确顺序为④→②→③→①，对应选项B。故选B。 5．主旨大意题。通读全文可知，全文围绕雨林的独特性（生物多样性、分层结构）和重要性（调节气候、净化空气）展开，并提及人类活动对其的威胁，C项最符合。故选C。 （二十四） A great scientist, Marie Curie was the first person to win two Nobel Prizes. Born in Poland, Marie loved science from a young age. At that time, women couldn’t go to university in Poland. So she worked hard to save money and went to Paris to study. She lived a simple life—sometimes she even forgot to eat because she was too busy reading or doing experiments. Later, she met her husband Pierre, and they worked together in a small, cold shed. For four years, they stirred (搅拌) tons of mineral ore (矿石) every day to find a new element. Finally, they discovered radium (镭). This discovery changed science a lot. Marie had great learning methods. First, she focused on her goals. Nothing could affect her. Second, she learned by doing—she never just read books.

So she worked hard to save money and went to Paris to study.”可知，当时波兰女性不能上大学，所以她攒钱去巴黎学习。故选D。 2．词句猜测题。根据“Later, she met her husband Pierre, and they worked together in a small, cold shed.”可知，此处描述居里夫妇工作环境，“small, cold”表明工作环境简陋。故选B。 3．细节理解题。根据“First, she focused on her goals. Nothing could affect her. Second, she learned by doing—she never just read books. She did experiments again and again, even when she failed. Third, she kept learning all her life.”可知，居里夫人的学习方法有：专注于她的目标；通过做实验来学习；一生都在学习。故选C。 4．细节理解题。根据“From Marie Curie, we learn that if we focus on our goals…and never give up, we can achieve great things.”可知，前文提到“focus on goals”和“never give up”，因此，中间应填入她的另一方法。故选C。 5．最佳标题题。通读全文可知，全文围绕居里夫人的生平、科学成就和学习方法展开。故选D。 （二十五） Can you explain “zero”? Can you do addition and subtraction (加减法)? Most people can, but did you know bees can too? A study finds bees have better math abilities—after training, they can tell even numbers (ending with 0, 2, 4, 6, 8) from odd ones (ending with 1, 3, 5, 7, 9). Some Australian scientists put up different cards with an odd or even number of triangles (三角形). Then they trained the first group of bees to choose odd numbers, and the second group to choose even numbers. Bees got sugar water for right choices and got bitter water for wrong ones. Soon, all bees learned to tell odd/even numbers, choosing correctly 80% of the time. Later, scientists added new cards with 11 and 12 (never seen in training), but bees still chose right 70% of the time. Surprisingly, bees even learned numbers more quickly than people. Scientists don’t know how bees learn so quickly, but they think finding the answer could help build better, faster computers—especially since a bee’s brain is smaller than ours! 1．How does the passage start? A．By listing facts. B．By giving examples. C．By asking questions. D．By using pictures. 2．Which of the following card should the second group of bees fly to? ①    ②    ③    ④ A．①③ B．②③ C．①② D．③④ 3．What can we learn about the bees’ performance after adding new cards?

Up in the sky! Not a bird or a plane, it’s an eVTOL! It’s also known as an air taxi. It started its first journey from Shenzhen to Zhuhai, completing the 55-kilometer trip in about 20 minutes. This marks an important development of this exciting new form of transport. Air taxis use high technology to take off and land like a helicopter (直升机). So they don’t need long runways. Instead of using traditional engines, air taxis use electric motors (电动机). Air taxis can fly without a pilot. These air taxis have several propellers to help them stay safe in the sky. They also use large batteries to let them fly far and fast. Air taxis can make people’s travelling faster and safer. They can help improve traffic jams, with their direct point-to-point travel. They can save time for people. The cost of taking an air taxi may be more expensive than ground transport, but the travel can be up to five times faster. With the help of the computers, the air taxis can fly safely in the sky. That is to say, the computers can plan the flight of every air taxi in advance (提前), so that they won’t have any accidents in the sky. The air taxi is also a better choice for cities. As an eco-friendly choice, it produces fewer emissions (排放) than traditional cars, improving air quality. The air taxi has already been used in the Paris Olympics. Some people think this is a transport that will become widely used. Many companies and researchers are developing this transport and they believe air taxis will have a huge market in the coming years. 1．Where did the air taxi start its first journey? A．In Shenzhen. B．In Zhuhai. C．In Guangzhou. D．In Beijing. 2．Which of the following helps air taxis fly far and fast? A．Long runways. B．Traditional engines. C．Large batteries. D．Computers. 3．What can we infer about air taxis from the passage? A．They need pilots to control flights. B．They are cheaper than ground transport. C．They have been widely used around the world. D．They are less harmful to the environment. 4．What is the purpose of the passage? A．To compare different ways to travel. B．To discuss the future users of air taxis.

There were some unclear words from a certain customer, and I completely misunderstood them, which brought some troubles for my company. As a result, I had a “serious” talk with my boss and I felt like the biggest loser on Earth. And just when I needed it, came the strength in these words “You need to lean back a little to leap further”. These words came from Jessie, an old friend of mine. It turned out she was telling me not to rush—taking a short break first would help me achieve more in the end. They made me feel better rapidly and I realized what power encouraging words had. Soft, sincere and encouraging words from friends can give you strength in hard times. They can act as the light of hope in your time of darkness. They can make you smile and help you forget your worries. Using encouraging words is an art and it is a symbol of one’s “emotional intelligence”. You must have read the famous poem “Don’t Quit (放弃)”. It says that sometimes, things go wrong but you should not quit. A few words of encouragement can really raise one’s spirits and make a difference. 1．Why did the writer get into trouble in her first job? A．Because it was her first job.

But scientists have found a kind of amazing tree. They not only live through lightning strikes (击中) but also grow because of them! For years, scientists thought lightning was only bad for trees. But as they explored places like the Amazon rainforest, they started to think there could be trees that fight against lightning. It wasn’t until about 100 years ago that such “super trees” were found. Now, they know of a tree that uses lightning’s power to kill nearby trees and get more sunlight and nutrients (营养) for itself. In 2015, scientist Evan Gora saw a Dipteryx oleifera tree. It was hit by strong lightning. It wasn’t badly harmed. However, the neighboring trees were killed. Scientists thought this tree could deal with lightning, but there was no way to be sure. Gora and his team saw more of these trees that grew well after lightning strikes. So, they did a study. They followed 93 trees struck by lightning for 2-6 years. They found that all 9 Dipteryx oleifera trees in the study grew well, only with little harm. But 84 other trees were seriously hurt, and 64% of them died within two years. These Dipteryx oleifera trees are very tall and have wide tops, making them 68% more likely to be struck by lightning than other trees. During the study, one of the Dipteryx trees was struck twice in 5 years but still grew well. At present, more studies suggest that these trees attract (吸引) lightning on purpose to destroy other trees and grow better. Scientists are not sure how these trees survive lightning, but they guess these trees may have the ability to carry electricity (电). They are also interested in other trees with similar characteristics. 1．What does the word “them” in bold refer to in Paragraph 1? A．Scientists. B．Lightning strikes. C．Nutrients. D．Amazing trees. 2．What is special about the Dipteryx oleifera tree? A．It dies quickly after lightning strikes. B．It takes in nutrients directly from lightning. C．It grows better after being struck by lightning. D．It protects itself by hiding under other trees. 3．Why do Dipteryx oleifera trees attract lightning? A．To get more water from the sky. B．To kill nearby trees for growth. C．To become shorter and stronger. D．To protect other trees around them. 4．Where is the text probably taken from? A．A science magazine. B．A story book. C．A safety guide. D．A travel guide. 5．What might scientists do next according to the text? A．Plant more Dipteryx oleifera trees. B．Study how trees attract lightning better. C．Find out where Dipteryx oleifera trees live. D．Look for more trees that can survive lightning. 【答案】1．B 2．C 3．B 4．A 5．D 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了油桃木这种特殊的树，它被闪电击中后不仅能存活还生长得更好，科学家对其展开研究并将探索更多类似特性的树。 1．词句猜测题。根据“Lightning usually destroys (破坏) trees it hits.

How much do you know about it? A group of students from Tianjin found a problem. Most middle school students plan little for their future jobs, because there is too little help from their school or family. To help students make job plans, the students from a middle school in Tianjin started a project called “Dian Zhi Cheng Shi”. “Most students want to know more about different jobs,” said Wang Xinran, a project member. To meet the students’ needs, the team interviewed 32 people with different jobs and presented their interviews on TV shows. The people shared true stories behind each job to make students learn about the jobs in depth. A team member, Liu Jinyan, said his most unforgettable interview was with a photographer. “In the past, I thought being a photographer was cool. But now I know that they have to face lots of problems. They also need to talk with different people.” But the project doesn’t mean to make the students disappointed by telling them the problems. “We want to show people’s love and hard work, not the bad sides,” said a team member, Zhao Yajie. “The project’s name means to turn a job into a poem. We don’t think working is just about bread and milk. It should be like a poem, full of love and beauty. And we hope our project can help students know that.” 1．Why do most students plan little for their future jobs? A．Because they have no dream jobs. B．Because they don’t want to work. C．Because they are busy with studies. D．Because they can get little help with that. 2．What may the underlined words “learn about the jobs in depth” mean? A．Know the jobs more clearly. B．Know the jobs more happily. C．Know the jobs more slowly. D．Know the jobs more quickly. 3．What does Liu Jinyan think of being a photographer now? A．Cool. B．Difficult. C．Creative.

D．To help students know the meaning of work. 5．What is the best title for the text? A．A Creative Team of Students B．Good and Bad Sides of a Job C．A Project for Students’ Future Jobs D．Different People with Different Jobs 【答案】1．D 2．A 3．B 4．D 5．C 【导语】本文主要讲述了天津一所中学的学生开展了一个名为“点职成诗”的项目，旨在帮助中学生更好地规划未来职业，通过采访不同职业的人并分享他们背后的真实故事，让学生深入了解职业，明白工作的意义。 1．细节理解题。根据“Most middle school students plan little for their future jobs, because there is too little help from their school or family.”可知，大多数中学生对自己的未来职业规划甚少，是因为他们从学校或家庭得到的帮助太少。故选D。 2．词句猜测题。根据“The people shared true stories behind each job to make students learn about the jobs in depth.”可知，这些人分享每个工作背后的真实故事，是为了让学生更清楚地了解这些工作，“learn about the jobs in depth”意思是更深入地了解工作。故选A。 3．推理判断题。根据“A team member, Liu Jinyan, said his most unforgettable interview was with a photographer. ‘In the past, I thought being a photographer was cool. But now I know that they have to face lots of problems. They also need to talk with different people.’”可知，刘金岩过去认为当摄影师很酷，但现在他知道摄影师要面对很多问题，还要和不同的人交谈，由此可推断出他认为当摄影师是困难的。故选B。 4．细节理解题。根据“The project’s name means to turn a job into a poem (诗). We don’t think working is just about bread and milk. It should be like a poem, full of love and beauty.
