Why is this a good idea? ·Save Money: We can read more books without buying them. ·Share Joy: Your favorite book can make others happy too. ·Talk More: We can talk about the same book with our friends. This helps us think together. ·Keep it Green: Sharing books is good for the Earth. We use less paper. This is our corner. Let’s work together to make it great!

My shock and surprise disappeared when I understood that this island was my salvation (得救). I began to shout for help to the people on the island. They did not understand me but they understood that I was in difficulty and made signs for me to move towards them. They moved closer and when I was underneath the island, they sent a chair down to me on a chain and pulled me up. The people on the island were friendly and accepted me but they were incredibly strange. They wore the strangest clothes and they all had their own personal man servant who carried a large balloon on the end of a stick. The servant’s job was to tap (轻拍) his master on his mouth or ear when he needed to speak or listen to something. This was because these masters passed most of their time in intense thought (沉思). They thought about the strangest subjects for hours and hours a day. And as a result they had no sense of practical things in life, such as speaking or listening, or looking where they were going. I later learnt that this island was called Laputa. Some people took me to speak to the king. When we arrived at his palace, the king was lost in thought and didn’t notice me. I waited for more than an hour until, finally, one of his servants tapped him on the mouth and he spoke. I didn’t understand their language and could not answer the king. One of the servants tried to tap me on the mouth with his balloon to make me speak. I protested very quickly. “I know exactly when to speak and listen,” I told them. They understood the sense of what I said. But they thought I was a complete idiot because I did not pass my time in thought, too. Then after dinner, a servant came to teach me their language and tell me about life on Laputa. —Taken from Gulliver’s Travels 1．Which place did Gulliver come to in the story? A．Lilliput. B．Laputa.

Every morning, I noticed fresh air coming into the rooms and I knew that the Nautilus had come to the top. I would go out and see the sunrise. Then I received a note from Captain Nemo. He invited me and my friends to go hunting with him in the forests of Crescent Island. Ned was excited because he thought there he could find a chance to run away. When I saw Captain Nemo the next day, I asked him why he was so interested in Crescent Island. “I thought you preferred the sea.” “I do,” replied the Captain, “But these forests are under the sea.” During breakfast, he explained that he had made diving suits that used special air tanks. These tanks would allow us to stay under the water for ten hours. He had also made lights that worked in electric batteries. When Ned realized that we were not going onto land for our hunting trip, he decided not to come at all. Conseil and I put on our diving suits, and so did Captain Nemo and one of his men. We stepped into a room and closed the door. The room was filled with water, and another door opened. We went through it, and we were on the sea floor. It was an amazing experience. We were about ten metres under the water. The light from the sun reached us. Everything looked very colourful. We walked over the fine sand and enjoyed the colours of the shells, fish and seaweed. Conseil and I followed Captain Nemo and his man as they crossed a large grassy area. We were going deeper and deeper. As we were a hundred metres under the water, we could still see quite well. Captain Nemo stopped and pointed to some dark shapes. This was the forest. The “trees” there were giant seaweed (水藻), and all their branches were vertical (垂直的). We could not stop looking at them. Fish swam around the branches like birds in a forest. Small bushes grew under the large seaweed trees. Three hours later, we lay down to rest. I was not hungry, but very sleepy. We all slept and when we woke up, we explored further. (Adapted from Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea) 1．What do you think the Nautilus is? A．It’s a kind of fish in the sea.

Last summer, Li Ming went on a trip to Yangzhou with his family. Yangzhou is a beautiful city with a long history. They stayed there for three days and visited many interesting places.

So you ought to show me the door today!” The robin hopped on to an old climbing plant on the wall, and sang his most beautiful song. Suddenly the wind made the plant move, and Mary saw something under the dark green leaves. The thick, heavy plant was covering a door. Mary’s heart was beating fast and her hands were shaking as she pushed the leaves away and found the keyhole. She took the key out of her pocket, and it fitted the hole. Using both hands, she managed to unlock the door. Then she turned round to see if anyone was watching. But there was no one, so she pushed the door, which opened, slowly, for the first time in ten years. She walked quickly in and shut the door behind her. At last she was inside the secret garden! It was the loveliest, most exciting place she had ever seen. There were old rose trees everywhere, and the walls were covered with climbing roses. She looked carefully at the gray branches. Were the roses still alive? Ben would know. She hoped they weren’t all dead. But she was inside the wonderful garden, in a world of her own. It seemed very strange and silent, but she did not feel lonely at all. Then she noticed some small green shoots coming up through the grass. So something was growing in the garden after all! When she found a lot more shoots in different places, she decided they needed more air and light, so she began to pull out the thick grass around them. She worked away, clearing the ground, for two or three hours, and had to take her coat off because she got so hot.

I once had my own vegetable garden. It was my first and my last since I could never get to the country place often enough to keep my eye on it. Anyway, the second summer, the bugs found us and ate my arugula (芝麻菜). I could see the garden needed more care than I could give it, and I stopped. But the first season was pure heaven. I still remember sitting in that garden, the fresh air on my face, the silence pouring into my ears. Sometimes I would sing, quietly at first and then louder, which brought a small herd of curious cows trotting (小跑) my way to hang their huge heads over the wire fence 20 feet away, staring at me. Mostly I was sitting down, picking green beans, boiling them, slapping (拍) on a little butter and salt and eating them without anything else. And wanting to sing opera again because they were so good. I dug below the potato plants, stole a few baby potatoes from each plant, and boiled them too. Just butter and salt. So good. There was too much food in the late summer. My relatives refused to accept any because they had received a lot from others. The neighbours all grew the same thing I did, so they didn’t need any, and when I took it back to the city, no friends wanted it. They spent their summer weekends in the country and had their own gardens. I never had another garden after that first one. There was a time when I thought life was too short for all my dreams. The choices were too many, and my heart ached that anything had to end or that I had to choose between one thing and another. How could I live on a farm and also travel around the world? It seemed that life fully enjoyed could only be full of loss. Nevertheless, nothing was lost. These memories are a permanent (永恒的) part of me. I often relive that one wonderful summer and my amazing vegetable garden as I did while writing about it for you tonight. Little by little, the truth became okay with me: someone who loves many things can’t make all of them permanent. You have to walk away from one thing so you can have another. Still, I never expected total absence (缺乏) of sense of loss. And then I got it. That one summer with my fresh, delicious veggies, all that time to sit on the ground for hours and the unexpected company of cows that loved opera had filled a space in my life that had always been empty before that. But never has it been empty again. 1．Why did the author stop to plant a veggie garden? A．She couldn’t afford time or energy for the garden. B．She was tired of too much farm work.

A．What a productive summer B．Own a garden, never feel empty C．Plant a garden, get enough food D．Wonderful memories, a permanent part of us In the film Forrest Gump (《阿甘正传》), there’s a famous saying, “Life is like a box of chocolates; you never know what you’re gonna get.” The surprise is part of the fun. Now blind box toys (盲盒) are bringing the new magic of surprise to people. Blind boxes have become popular since they were first introduced from Japan to China in 2014. A blind box toy is hidden inside the same box. You don’t know what will be inside. The toys mainly come from pop culture, such as films, comics and cartoons. According to a Tmall report, the mini-series of Labubu blind box was sold 55,000 in just 9 seconds during the Double Eleventh shopping festival. Most buyers of blind boxes are young people aged 18 to 35. Blind box toys are popular in part because of their cute looks. The cute cartoon dolls come in small sizes, making them easy to display (展示) almost anywhere. Even if blind boxes are not people’s top choice for decorations, the surprise of opening a blind box also attracts people. It’s the main reason why people buy blind boxes one after another. When people open this little box, they may be disappointed (失望的), but the surprise is part of the fun. People will open more blind boxes and hope for a better outcome. When someone re-makes Forrest Gump, don’t be surprised if he says, “Life is like a blind box. You won’t know what’s inside before you open it.” 1．A blind box is ________.

College students are increasingly turning to artificial intelligence tools like ChatGPT to get quick answers rather than deepen their understanding, a new national survey finds. To understand how college students are using AI tools, researchers asked 1,000 U.S. college students about their habits and found that most use AI for what researchers call “executive help”—seeking fast solutions with very little effort. In contrast, “instrumental help” involves using AI to explain concepts clearly, build skills and support independent learning. However, the study found that students who receive encouragement from professors to use AI thoughtfully are much more likely to use the technology in ways that support learning. This suggests that teacher guidance plays an important role in shaping how students use AI—not just as a tool for convenience (便利), but as a resource for intellectual (智力发展的) growth. “The growth of AI has created both optimism (乐观) and anxiety (焦虑),” Aguilar said. “What matters most is making sure that AI use is guided by those who have deep knowledge in their subject areas, and that students aren’t left to work out things alone.” Another survey of 1,505 teachers from the United States, India, Qatar, Colombia and the Philippines showed widespread concerns about plagiarism (抄袭), reduced creativity and not enough support from schools. Despite these worries, most educators see positive possibilities in AI’s classroom uses. Seventy-two percent said AI helps make routine tasks easier, 73% believe it can improve student results, and 69% said it allows for more personalized (个性化的) learning. 1．What is the main finding about how most college students use AI? A．They use AI for deep understanding. B．They use AI for creative ideas. C．They use AI for intellectual growth. D．They use AI for convenience. 2．Why does the author compare “executive help” and “instrumental help”? A．To show which way is easier for students. B．To show which way helps learning better. C．To show which way more students choose. D．To show which way needs teacher’s help. 3．Which of the following worries is NOT mentioned in the article? A．Students may use AI to copy work without thinking. B．Students might lose their creativity because of AI. C．Students’ thinking ability may become weaker with AI. D．Schools may not provide enough support for using AI. 4．Why does the author use numbers in the last paragraph? A．To make the article more interesting to read. B．To make his points more believable and strong. C．To show he is good at using numbers. D．To make readers remember the information. 5．Where is this article most likely to be published? A．An educational website. B．A science fiction. C．The school newspaper. D．A technology ad. How to make festive gift tags (标签)? In recent years, zero-waste living has been from fashionable topics to a way of life for many people, including myself. And I’ve got an interesting way to help reduce some of that waste. Last year, I created some free templates for reusable, zero-waste embroidered (刺绣) gift tags, and I’m excited to stitch (缝) up some more this year. Each one can be made in less than 20 minutes, then reused over and over. Let me show you my steps: · Print out the gift tag templates, then cut out the design you want to make. If you’re making the tags in a card, print them directly onto your card stock—but if you’re making them in felt (毛毡), print them onto paper and draw the design onto the felt with tailor chalk. · Using your sewing needle and embroidery thread, stitch the design on the template using the dots as a guide. It’s best to use a back stitch to create the design. If you’re stitching them in felt, you can stitch through both the paper template and the felt, then get away the paper at the end. If you’re stitching a card tag, try not to bend or tear the card as you do this. It might take a little practice to get a good feel for it. · Build up the design until it’s finished, using as many colours of thread as you want. · Tie off the ends and cut away the extra thread. · Finally, tie a loop to the top of the tags, and stick the tags to your gifts. The easiness of these tags makes them the perfect low effort but high effect project. They’re perfect for a relaxing afternoon with friends, or you could sit on the sofa with a festive film and create some. It’s even more fun with a cup of hot chocolate! 1．Why did the writer start making embroidered gift tags? A．Because it was a fashionable thing to do. B．Because it helped reduce waste in daily life. C．Because they were cheaper than bought tags. D．Because they were required by friends. 2．What does the word “template” in the passage most probably mean? A．A kind of special paper for writing. B．A ready-made design used as a guide. C．A tool for making embroidery easier. D．A material for making beautiful gifts. 3．What is the correct order of making the gift tags? a. Stitch the design following the dots b. Print out and cut the template c. Tie a loop to the top of the tag d. Tie off the ends and cut extra thread A．a-b-d-c B．b-d-a-c C．b-a-d-c D．a-d-b-c 4．How does the writer feel about making these gift tags? A．It is difficult but worthwhile. B．It is interesting but tiring. C．It is enjoyable and relaxing. D．It is expensive but interesting. The Jiangsu Football City League is very popular these days.

It means creating, repairing, or improving things by oneself instead of buying new items or paying someone to do them. DIY projects can be very different, from making home decorations to fixing broken furniture. First, DIY helps save money. Instead of spending a lot on new products or services, people can use their skills and creativity to make things at a lower cost. For example, repainting old furniture or sewing a handmade bag is much cheaper than buying new ones. Second, DIY enhances creativity and problem-solving skills. When working on a project, people often need to think creatively to find solutions. This not only makes the brain more active but also brings a sense of achievement once the task is completed. Moreover, DIY is environmentally friendly. By reusing and recycling materials, we reduce waste and help protect the planet. For instance, turning glass jars into flower vases or using old clothes to make tote bags can minimize unnecessary trash. In conclusion, DIY is a rewarding activity that saves money, boosts creativity, and benefits the environment. Whether it’s a small craft or a big home improvement project, the joy of creating something with your own hands is truly priceless. So why not start a DIY project today? 1．How does the writer begin the passage? A．By asking a question. B．By showing an example. C．By making a comparison. D．By giving an explanation. 2．Which of the following is a DIY project? A．Buying a handmade bag on one’s own. B．Paying someone to repaint old furniture. C．Creating something with your own hands. D．Reducing waste and helping protect the planet. 3．What does the underlined word “enhances” in Para 3 mean? A．improves B．suggests C．predicts D．understands 4．What’s the writer’s purpose in writing the passage? A．To ask people to save money. B．To encourage people to start DIY. C．To show people the bad points of DIY. D．To make people care about the environment. 5．Which of the following best shows the structure of the passage? A． B． C． D． One day you pick up your phone for a video call with a friend. Not only can you see his face and hear his voice, but you can also smell the cookies he has just baked. It sounds like something out of a science fiction movie, but could it actually happen? Smells are created by tiny particles called molecules (分子) that float through the air and reach your nose. Your nose then sends signals to your brain, which recognizes the smell. So, could your phone send smell molecules to you so that you know what it is? Think about how your phone screen works. It doesn’t have every color in the world stored inside it. Instead, it uses just three colors to create millions of different hues and shades. Now imagine something for smells. Scientists are developing digital scent (香味) technology that uses a number of different cartridges (盒；匣), each containing a specific scent. Just like how pixels (像素) mix red, green and blue to create images, these scent cartridges could mix to create different smells. Images on your phone are made of digital codes that represent mix of pixels, and smells are created in the same way. When you receive a digital scent code, your phone could mix tiny amounts of the different scents from the cartridges to create the desired smell. This mix would then be released through a small vent (通风口) on the phone, allowing you to smell it. With a few cartridges, your phone could create a large number of smells. Creating such a phone faces more challenges. One is designing a system that can produce thousands of different smells using a few cartridges. And phones will also need to sense scents near them and change those into digital codes, so your friends’ phones can send smells to you. The cartridges should also be easy to refill, and the chemicals in them be safe to breathe. Even though we’re not there yet, maybe one day you’ll be able to not only see and hear your friend’s birthday party over the phone, but also smell the candles they blew out. 1．How do people smell? Put the following sentences in the correct order. ①Tiny particles reach the nose.    ②The brain recognizes the smell. ③The nose sends signals to the brain.    ④Tiny particles float through the air. A．①④③② B．④①③② C．①③④② D．①③②④ 2．By mentioning how phone screens work, the writer tries to ________. A．compare technologies used in showing colours and sending smells B．explain the real possibility of making phones send smells C．show that it is easier to show colours on the screen D．introduce the powerful function of future phones 3．Which of the following correctly describes “cartridges”? A．Three cartridges are needed to make different scents. B．Cartridges are able to sense scents around the phones. C．Cartridges create smells according to the digital scent codes. D．Cartridges play the most important role in making smell phones. 4．Which of the following things CANNOT help people to smell with the phone? A．Pixels. B．A vent. C．Chemicals. D．Cartridges. 5．What can we infer from the passage? A．Pixel technology can be used directly to create digital scents. B．Only in science fiction movies can we see people use smell phones. C．Smell phones send digital scent codes to the brain to make us smell. D．A powerful system needs to be developed to make smell phones a reality. It’s easy to think “that will never happen to me,” but natural disasters are becoming both more common (常见) and serious. Millions of families face floods, tornadoes and other natural disasters every year. In Australia, for example, its wildfires from 2019 to 2020 were caused by the high temperature and a drought (干旱). They took away the lives of hundreds of people and billions of animals! While you can’t stop disasters from happening, you can stay safe during one if you know what to do. Flood Floods can happen very suddenly. Flood water can be deeper than it looks. It can carry you away, so stay away! Glass, snakes, and dirty things can be in flood water, so don’t drink it even if you are thirsty. Tornado A tornado happens during some storms. If there’s a tornado warning, go someplace, such as a small and sturdy (结实的) bathroom, which is safe from the wind and flying things. Remember to keep away from windows or anything heavy that might fall on you. Earthquake You should move away from things that might fall. Get down under something that’s strong if you can’t rush out of the building right away. Protect your neck and head with your arm. If you’re outside, go to an open space. Stay away from trees or anything that might fall over and hurt you. Bushfire Bushfires, also known as wildfires, are common across the world during the scorching days. It is important that you try to stay calm. Some fires can start so quickly that they threaten (威胁) homes and people within minutes, so your safest choice is always to leave early. 1．The writer talks about Australian wildfires to show ________. A．wildfires are far away from us B．Australians are now in great danger C．high temperature and a drought cause wildfires D．natural disasters are becoming more and more serious 2．What does the underlined word “scorching” mean? A．stormy B．rainy C．hot D．cold 3．When disasters happen, what can we do to keep safe? A．Stay away from windows when a tornado comes. B．Drink flood water if we are thirsty when a flood happens. C．Stop moving and wait for other people’s help in a bushfire. D．Stay under the trees after getting out of buildings in an earthquake. 4．Which of the following would be the best title for the passage? A．Why Natural Disasters Happen. B．How to Keep Safe in Natural Disasters. C．What Natural Disasters Bring to Humans. D．How to Name Different Natural Disasters. ①Did you know that when you surf the web, websites in some countries put secret software on your computer? The software collects a large amount of information about you and sends it to internet companies. The Internet companies sell it to other businesses. Your personal information can also be gathered from social media sites. There are many ways your information can be used. ②First, companies collect your information and record all your online habits. They find out where you live, what websites you visit and what you do online. With this information, they can guess other things about you. For example, they can guess if you are a male or female, how old you are and your interests. The companies use this information to decide which ads are best for you. Two people can go to the same website, but they will see different ads. For example, someone who likes sports could see ads for trainers, and someone who likes films might see ads for a film. ③Your personal information could also be sold. Some companies collect information, so they can sell it to other businesses. A business that collects and sells personal information is called a data broker. When data brokers sell your information, a lot of different companies will know your online habits. Then the companies will advertise products from other websites to you. ④Another way your personal information can be collected is through social media. When your information is on social media, a lot of people can see it. Even if you don’t use social media, a friend might post a picture or video of you with your name on it. Pictures and videos can be shared for free on social media, which is one of the great advantages. However, that same act of sharing could be a problem for your own security (安全). If someone knows too much about you, they steal (偷窃) your identity. Then they can buy things online and post messages while pretending (假装) to be you. ⑤_________. The law is finally changing when it comes to technology. In the European Union, for example, they have introduced the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). This rule means that internet users can now ask companies to show them what information they have about them and even make them delete it. If other countries do the same, the internet could soon be a much safer place. 1．According to Paragraph 2, what will the companies find by collecting your information? a. age and hobbies    b. online activities    c. address    d. job A．b. c. d. B．a. b. d. C．a. c. d. D．a. b. c. 2．Your personal information can be directly collected through the following EXCEPT _________. A．social media B．websites C．the government D．secret software 3．Which of the following statements is WRONG? A．Data brokers can make money by selling personal information to other businesses. B．No one can get your information if your friend posts a video of you with your name on it. C．According to GDPR, we can ask companies to delete our personal information they have collected online. D．Different people can see different ads on the same website because their online habits have been gathered. 4．Which sentence is the most suitable for the beginning of the last paragraph? A．However, it’s not all bad news. B．Anyway, every coin has two sides. C．Actually, different people have different opinions. D．Indeed, people believe things are changing for the worse. 5．Which of the following best shows the structure of the passage? A． B． C． D． Natural disasters, such as earthquakes, rainstorms and strong winds, usually make a big difference to human life. They not only cause property (财产) loss but also take away people’s lives. Strong winds can be very terrible. On March 31st, 2024, strong winds hit Nanchang, Jiangxi province. The strong winds broke the windows into pieces and blew off three people sleeping at home, causing their deaths. What’s worse, more than 1,600 trees were blown down overnight. This deadly disaster was mainly caused by funnelling (狭管效应). When the earthquake happens, the ground and buildings will shake terribly. In serious situations, buildings may even fall down and will bury people in the ground. Recently, in Taiwan, the most powerful earthquake in a quarter century rocked the island on April 3rd. At least nine people were killed and hundreds of people were hurt. Another example is rainstorms. They can flood many places. Dubai lies on the coast of the Persian Gulf and in the northeast of the U. A．E. with a long and beautiful coastline. It doesn’t rain a lot. But on April 16th, a big rainstorm hit Dubai. It rained so much in just 12 hours that it was like a year’s worth of rain. The heavy rain flooded roads, shopping malls, and even airports, causing a lot of damage (破坏). To better deal with natural disasters, we need to make our disaster prevention, mitigation, and relief coordination system (防灾救灾机制) better. Also, people should learn ways to protect themselves when facing natural disasters. But most importantly, we should realize that we are not the master of nature, we need to care about it and respect (尊重) it. 1．How many pieces of news about natural disasters are mentioned? A．Two. B．Three. C．Four. D．Five. 2．What kind of damage can an earthquake probably cause? A．It can blow down a lot of trees overnight. B．It can make buildings fall and kill people. C．It can flood many places like roads and airports. D．It can make plants die because of too little water. 3．How does the writer develop Paragraph 2? Mini-dictionary Facts are true statements. They include names, dates, events and numbers. Opinions tell what we believe, feel or think. They may not be true. A．Fact—Opinion—Way B．Fact—Way—Opinion C．Opinion—Fact—Reason D．Opinion—Reason—Fact 4．What might be talked about in the following paragraph? A．Why natural disasters can take away people’s lives. B．How we can respect nature and live better with it. C．Where we can learn about different natural disasters. D．Which kind of natural disasters is the most dangerous. In the entire animal world, birds are the only living creatures with feathers. They are warm-blooded, like mammals. There are about 9,000 different kinds of birds living in all parts of the world. They include exotic, colorful birds such as parrots, garden birds such as robins and thrushes, water birds such as ducks, sea birds such as puffins and penguins, and many more. The tiny bee hummingbird is one of the world’s smallest birds. It measures about 2 inches (5cm) from beak to tail and is so light that 17 bee hummingbirds weigh only 1 oz (28g). A bee hummingbird is so small that it could fit in the palm of your hand. The ostrich, which is more than 8 feet (2.5m) tall, is the world’s largest bird, but it cannot fly at all. The ostrich head looks huge in comparison to a tiny bee hummingbird. ① . These birds have large, powerful chest muscles to allow them to flap their wings. Their bones are light, which assists them during flight. Feathers are light, too. They protect the bird’s body and keep it warm. Wing feathers fit together to form a smooth, airtight surface for gliding. Tail feathers provide balance and help the bird steer in midair. ② . A few birds, however, cannot fly. Flightless or nearly flightless birds include ostriches, penguins, and the rare kakapo, a kind of parrot from New Zealand. Birds do not have teeth, which would be too heavy; instead, they have a strong, light bill, or beak. Most birds, particularly eagles and other birds of prey, have good eyesight and hearing. Their sense of smell, however, is poor. ③ . A bird’s feathers are called its plumage. Some birds, such as the wren and the sparrow, have brown plumage for camouflage. Other birds have plumage with dazzling colors and patterns. It is usually the males that have bright plumage, to help them attract a mate during the breeding season. The distinctive coloring also helps the members of a flock stay together. Most of the bones in a bird’s skeleton are hollow, with tiny, honeycombed holes, to save body weight. Wings are controlled by powerful muscles attached to the keel, which is a ridge along the edge of the breast-bone. ④ . Most of a bird’s body is taken up by the muscles, heart, lungs, and digestive system. Birds have two stomachs. The first stomach, the crop, stores food; the second, the gizzard, grinds the food to a pulp. 1．Which of the following statements about birds is true? A．17 bee hummingbirds are not as heavy as 1 oz (28g). B．Birds are the only living creatures with feathers and fur. C．Most birds have a poor sense of smell but excellent eyesight and hearing. D．Birds have heavy bones that make them unable to glide or soar in the air. 2．We’d better put the sentence “Most birds are born masters of flying.” in ______. A．① B．② C．③ D．④ 3．Why do some birds have bright feathers? A．To protect the bird’s body and keep it warm. B．To help stay away from the members of a flock. C．To provide balance and help the bird steer in midair. D．To catch the mate’s attention during the breeding season. 4．What does the underlined word “hollow” in Paragraph 6 probably mean? A．Soft. B．Strong. C．Empty inside. D．Smooth-edged. 5．The passage can usually be read in the part of ______ in a magazine. A．Culture B．Health C．Business D．Nature 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 期末复习之阅读理解20篇 （期末考试单元话题） 本资料共20篇专题训练，5篇应用文+5篇记叙文+10篇说明文从上到下按照难度分层训练 题号 难度 知识点 1 较易 阅读,应用文 2 较易 烹饪,应用文 3 较易 时文/广告/布告,应用文 4 较易 人与动植物,环境保护,应用文 5 较易 时文/广告/布告,应用文,景点/建筑 6 适中 文学名著,记叙文 7 适中 文学名著,记叙文,科幻故事 8 适中 旅行,记叙文,中华文化 9 适中 文学名著,记叙文 10 适中 叙事忆旧,记叙文 11 适中 商品,说明文 12 适中 科学技术,说明文 13 适中 方法/策略,环境保护,说明文,DIY 14 适中 竞技/比赛,说明文 15 适中 DIY,说明文 16 较难 科普知识,发明与创造,说明文 17 较难 自我保护,科普知识,方法/策略,说明文 18 较难 信息安全,说明文 19 较难 自然灾害与防范,说明文 20 较难 科普知识,说明文 An Initiative Letter Let’s Start a “Book Sharing Corner”!

I began to shout for help to the people on the island. They did not understand me but they understood that I was in difficulty and made signs for me to move towards them. They moved closer and when I was underneath the island, they sent a chair down to me on a chain and pulled me up. The people on the island were friendly and accepted me but they were incredibly strange. They wore the strangest clothes and they all had their own personal man servant who carried a large balloon on the end of a stick. The servant’s job was to tap (轻拍) his master on his mouth or ear when he needed to speak or listen to something. This was because these masters passed most of their time in intense thought (沉思). They thought about the strangest subjects for hours and hours a day. And as a result they had no sense of practical things in life, such as speaking or listening, or looking where they were going. I later learnt that this island was called Laputa. Some people took me to speak to the king. When we arrived at his palace, the king was lost in thought and didn’t notice me. I waited for more than an hour until, finally, one of his servants tapped him on the mouth and he spoke. I didn’t understand their language and could not answer the king. One of the servants tried to tap me on the mouth with his balloon to make me speak. I protested very quickly. “I know exactly when to speak and listen,” I told them. They understood the sense of what I said. But they thought I was a complete idiot because I did not pass my time in thought, too. Then after dinner, a servant came to teach me their language and tell me about life on Laputa. —Taken from Gulliver’s Travels 1．Which place did Gulliver come to in the story? A．Lilliput. B．Laputa.

A．c-d-b-e-a B．b-c-d-e-a C．b-d-c-e-a D．c-b-d-a-e 4．What does the underlined word “idiot” mean? A．genius B．stranger C．fool D．doll 【答案】1．B 2．C 3．B 4．C 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，节选自《格列佛游记》，讲述了格列佛来到一个名为拉普塔（Laputa）的岛屿后的所见所闻。 1．细节理解题。根据第三段中“I later learnt that this island was called Laputa.”可知，格列佛来到的地方是Laputa。故选B。 2．细节理解题。根据第三段中“When we arrived at his palace, the king was lost in thought and didn’t notice me.”可知，国王陷入沉思，没有注意到格列佛，C项正确。故选C。 3．细节理解题。根据文章内容，事件的正确顺序是：首先，岛上的人把格列佛拉了上来并救了他（b）；然后，一些人带格列佛去见国王（c）；接着，国王陷入了沉思，直到一个仆人轻拍他的嘴他才注意到格列佛（d）；之后，格列佛告诉他们他知道自己什么时候该说话和听（e）；最后，晚饭后，一个仆人来教格列佛他们的语言（a）。因此，正确答案是B。 4．词句猜测题。根据“But they thought I was a complete idiot because I did not pass my time in thought, too.”中的But可知，前后句为转折关系，前文提到格列佛告诉他们他知道自己什么时候该说话和听，后文说他们认为格列佛是一个完全的“idiot”，因为他没有像他们一样把时间花在思考上。由此可推断，他们认为格列佛不思考是愚蠢的，因此“idiot”的意思是“fool”（傻瓜）。故选C。 It was a week before I saw Captain Nemo again. Every morning, I noticed fresh air coming into the rooms and I knew that the Nautilus had come to the top. I would go out and see the sunrise. Then I received a note from Captain Nemo. He invited me and my friends to go hunting with him in the forests of Crescent Island. Ned was excited because he thought there he could find a chance to run away. When I saw Captain Nemo the next day, I asked him why he was so interested in Crescent Island. “I thought you preferred the sea.” “I do,” replied the Captain, “But these forests are under the sea.” During breakfast, he explained that he had made diving suits that used special air tanks. These tanks would allow us to stay under the water for ten hours. He had also made lights that worked in electric batteries. When Ned realized that we were not going onto land for our hunting trip, he decided not to come at all. Conseil and I put on our diving suits, and so did Captain Nemo and one of his men. We stepped into a room and closed the door. The room was filled with water, and another door opened. We went through it, and we were on the sea floor. It was an amazing experience. We were about ten metres under the water. The light from the sun reached us. Everything looked very colourful. We walked over the fine sand and enjoyed the colours of the shells, fish and seaweed. Conseil and I followed Captain Nemo and his man as they crossed a large grassy area. We were going deeper and deeper. As we were a hundred metres under the water, we could still see quite well. Captain Nemo stopped and pointed to some dark shapes. This was the forest. The “trees” there were giant seaweed (水藻), and all their branches were vertical (垂直的). We could not stop looking at them. Fish swam around the branches like birds in a forest. Small bushes grew under the large seaweed trees. Three hours later, we lay down to rest. I was not hungry, but very sleepy. We all slept and when we woke up, we explored further. (Adapted from Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea) 1．What do you think the Nautilus is? A．It’s a kind of fish in the sea. B．It’s a kind of ship under the sea. C．It’s a kind of plane in the sky. D．It’s a kind of seaweed in the sea. 2．What’s the correct order of the following events? a. We went through a door to the bottom of the sea. b. We reached the undersea forests. c. Captain Nemo invited me to explore the forests. d. Captain Nemo got ready for the trip. e. We saw colorful seashells and crossed a grassy area. A．d-c-a-e-b B．d-c-a-b-e C．c-d-a-e-b D．c-d-a-b-e 3．How did I feel when visiting the forest? A．Sleepy. B．Hungry. C．Amazed. D．Proud. 4．What will the story probably continue to talk about? A．When they returned to their ship. B．Why they felt so sleepy. C．What they dreamed about while sleeping. D．How they travelled deeper. 【答案】1．B 2．C 3．C 4．D 【导语】本文主要讲述了 “我” 和尼摩船长等人在海底森林探险的过程及经历。 1．推理判断题。根据“Every morning, I noticed fresh air coming into the rooms and I knew that the Nautilus had come to the top.”并结合《海底两万里》背景可推知Nautilus是一艘海底的船。故选B。 2．细节理解题。根据“Then I received a note from Captain Nemo. He invited me and my friends to go hunting with him in the forests of Crescent Island.”可知，最开始是船长邀请我和我的朋友们和他一起去Crescent岛的森林里打猎；根据“During breakfast, he explained that he had made diving suits that used special air tanks. These tanks would allow us to stay under the water for ten hours. He had also made lights that worked in electric batteries.”可知，然后船长做好了准备；根据“We went through it, and we were on the sea floor.”可知，接下来他们穿过一扇门到了海底；根据“We walked over the fine sand and enjoyed the colours of the shells, fish and seaweed. Conseil and I followed Captain Nemo and his man as they crossed a large grassy area.”可知，之后他们看到了彩色的贝壳并穿过一片长满草的区域；根据“This was the forest.”可知最后到达了海底森林，正确顺序为c-d-a-e-b。故选C。 3．推理判断题。根据“It was an amazing experience.”可知， “我” 的感受是惊奇的。故选C。 4．推理判断题。根据“We all slept and when we woke up, we explored further.”可推知故事接下来可能会讲他们如何更深入地探索。故选D。 Last summer, Li Ming went on a trip to Yangzhou with his family.

He hopes to visit more ancient cities in Jiangsu in the future.”可知，李明认为这次旅行很有意义，不仅欣赏了美景，还了解了很多扬州的历史和文化，并希望未来能参观更多江苏的古城，由此可推断出李明很享受这次旅行。故选C。 “You showed me where the key was yesterday,” she laughed. “I’ve got it in my pocket. So you ought to show me the door today!” The robin hopped on to an old climbing plant on the wall, and sang his most beautiful song. Suddenly the wind made the plant move, and Mary saw something under the dark green leaves. The thick, heavy plant was covering a door. Mary’s heart was beating fast and her hands were shaking as she pushed the leaves away and found the keyhole. She took the key out of her pocket, and it fitted the hole. Using both hands, she managed to unlock the door. Then she turned round to see if anyone was watching. But there was no one, so she pushed the door, which opened, slowly, for the first time in ten years. She walked quickly in and shut the door behind her. At last she was inside the secret garden! It was the loveliest, most exciting place she had ever seen. There were old rose trees everywhere, and the walls were covered with climbing roses. She looked carefully at the gray branches. Were the roses still alive? Ben would know. She hoped they weren’t all dead. But she was inside the wonderful garden, in a world of her own. It seemed very strange and silent, but she did not feel lonely at all. Then she noticed some small green shoots coming up through the grass. So something was growing in the garden after all! When she found a lot more shoots in different places, she decided they needed more air and light, so she began to pull out the thick grass around them. She worked away, clearing the ground, for two or three hours, and had to take her coat off because she got so hot.

But there was no one, so she pushed the door, which opened, slowly, for the first time in ten years.”可知，玛丽转身查看是否有人在看，但是并没有人，因此通过此句可知玛丽是谨慎的。故选C。 4．细节理解题。根据“‘You showed me where the key was yesterday,’ she laughed. ‘I’ve got it in my pocket. So you ought to show me the door today!’”可知，玛丽在和知更鸟说话；根据“Mary’s heart was beating fast and her hands were shaking as she pushed the leaves away and found the keyhole.”可知，玛丽找到钥匙孔；根据“But there was no one, so she pushed the door, which opened, slowly, for the first time in ten years. She walked quickly in and shut the door behind her.”可知，玛丽走了进去并关门；根据“She looked carefully at the gray branches.”可知，玛丽观察灰色树枝；根据“so she began to pull out the thick grass around them.”可知，玛丽开始园艺工作，对应c-b-d-e-a。故选B。 It was a summer, but what a summer. I once had my own vegetable garden. It was my first and my last since I could never get to the country place often enough to keep my eye on it. Anyway, the second summer, the bugs found us and ate my arugula (芝麻菜). I could see the garden needed more care than I could give it, and I stopped. But the first season was pure heaven. I still remember sitting in that garden, the fresh air on my face, the silence pouring into my ears. Sometimes I would sing, quietly at first and then louder, which brought a small herd of curious cows trotting (小跑) my way to hang their huge heads over the wire fence 20 feet away, staring at me. Mostly I was sitting down, picking green beans, boiling them, slapping (拍) on a little butter and salt and eating them without anything else. And wanting to sing opera again because they were so good. I dug below the potato plants, stole a few baby potatoes from each plant, and boiled them too. Just butter and salt. So good. There was too much food in the late summer. My relatives refused to accept any because they had received a lot from others. The neighbours all grew the same thing I did, so they didn’t need any, and when I took it back to the city, no friends wanted it. They spent their summer weekends in the country and had their own gardens. I never had another garden after that first one. There was a time when I thought life was too short for all my dreams. The choices were too many, and my heart ached that anything had to end or that I had to choose between one thing and another. How could I live on a farm and also travel around the world? It seemed that life fully enjoyed could only be full of loss. Nevertheless, nothing was lost. These memories are a permanent (永恒的) part of me. I often relive that one wonderful summer and my amazing vegetable garden as I did while writing about it for you tonight. Little by little, the truth became okay with me: someone who loves many things can’t make all of them permanent. You have to walk away from one thing so you can have another. Still, I never expected total absence (缺乏) of sense of loss. And then I got it. That one summer with my fresh, delicious veggies, all that time to sit on the ground for hours and the unexpected company of cows that loved opera had filled a space in my life that had always been empty before that. But never has it been empty again. 1．Why did the author stop to plant a veggie garden? A．She couldn’t afford time or energy for the garden. B．She was tired of too much farm work. C．She had no interest in gardening. D．She was afraid of bugs. 2．What’s the author’s purpose of writing the 4th paragraph? A．To attract people to her garden. B．To show her wonderful cooking skills.

A．her friends also had gardens B．her neighbours grew the same thing C．her relatives received many from others D．her garden couldn’t produce enough veggies 4．Which of the following is the closest to the underlined sentence? A．People may not feel lost. B．It’s sure for people to feel lost in some way. C．Having no sense makes people feel lost. D．Expecting too much makes people lose all. 5．Which of the following is the most proper title for the passage? A．What a productive summer B．Own a garden, never feel empty C．Plant a garden, get enough food D．Wonderful memories, a permanent part of us 【答案】1．A 2．C 3．D 4．B 5．D 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，主要讲述了作者在夏天种植蔬菜园的经历和感悟。 1．细节理解题。根据第二段“I could see the garden needed more care than I could give it, and I stopped.”可知菜园需要的照料超过我所能给的，所以我放弃了。故选A。 2．推理判断题。根据第四段“Mostly I was sitting down, picking green beans...and boiled them too. ”可知作者写第四段的目的是为了强调食物的新鲜度。故选C。 3．细节理解题。根据第五段“My relatives refused to accept any because they had received a lot from others.”，“The neighbours all grew the same thing I did, so they didn’t need any.”以及“They spent their summer weekends in the country and had their own gardens.”可知亲戚们收到了其他人给予的蔬菜，邻居们也种了一样的蔬菜，并且朋友们也有了自己的菜园。文中列出了三个作者未能分享她自己的蔬菜的原因。故选D。 4．词句猜测题。根据划线句子可知，不过我从未期望完全不会有失落感。选项B“人们难免会感到失落。”与选项B意思最接近。故选B。 5．最佳标题题。通读全文可知，本文讲述的是作者在夏天种植蔬菜园的经历。根据第七段“These memories are a permanent part of me. ”，最后一段“But never has it been empty again.”可知作者内心已被美好的回忆永久填满，也将不再空虚。选项D“美好的回忆，是我们永恒的一部分”，符合主题。故选D。 In the film Forrest Gump (《阿甘正传》), there’s a famous saying, “Life is like a box of chocolates; you never know what you’re gonna get.” The surprise is part of the fun. Now blind box toys (盲盒) are bringing the new magic of surprise to people. Blind boxes have become popular since they were first introduced from Japan to China in 2014. A blind box toy is hidden inside the same box. You don’t know what will be inside. The toys mainly come from pop culture, such as films, comics and cartoons. According to a Tmall report, the mini-series of Labubu blind box was sold 55,000 in just 9 seconds during the Double Eleventh shopping festival. Most buyers of blind boxes are young people aged 18 to 35. Blind box toys are popular in part because of their cute looks. The cute cartoon dolls come in small sizes, making them easy to display (展示) almost anywhere. Even if blind boxes are not people’s top choice for decorations, the surprise of opening a blind box also attracts people. It’s the main reason why people buy blind boxes one after another. When people open this little box, they may be disappointed (失望的), but the surprise is part of the fun. People will open more blind boxes and hope for a better outcome.

To understand how college students are using AI tools, researchers asked 1,000 U.S. college students about their habits and found that most use AI for what researchers call “executive help”—seeking fast solutions with very little effort. In contrast, “instrumental help” involves using AI to explain concepts clearly, build skills and support independent learning. However, the study found that students who receive encouragement from professors to use AI thoughtfully are much more likely to use the technology in ways that support learning. This suggests that teacher guidance plays an important role in shaping how students use AI—not just as a tool for convenience (便利), but as a resource for intellectual (智力发展的) growth. “The growth of AI has created both optimism (乐观) and anxiety (焦虑),” Aguilar said. “What matters most is making sure that AI use is guided by those who have deep knowledge in their subject areas, and that students aren’t left to work out things alone.” Another survey of 1,505 teachers from the United States, India, Qatar, Colombia and the Philippines showed widespread concerns about plagiarism (抄袭), reduced creativity and not enough support from schools. Despite these worries, most educators see positive possibilities in AI’s classroom uses. Seventy-two percent said AI helps make routine tasks easier, 73% believe it can improve student results, and 69% said it allows for more personalized (个性化的) learning. 1．What is the main finding about how most college students use AI? A．They use AI for deep understanding. B．They use AI for creative ideas. C．They use AI for intellectual growth. D．They use AI for convenience. 2．Why does the author compare “executive help” and “instrumental help”? A．To show which way is easier for students. B．To show which way helps learning better. C．To show which way more students choose. D．To show which way needs teacher’s help. 3．Which of the following worries is NOT mentioned in the article? A．Students may use AI to copy work without thinking. B．Students might lose their creativity because of AI. C．Students’ thinking ability may become weaker with AI. D．Schools may not provide enough support for using AI. 4．Why does the author use numbers in the last paragraph? A．To make the article more interesting to read. B．To make his points more believable and strong. C．To show he is good at using numbers. D．To make readers remember the information. 5．Where is this article most likely to be published? A．An educational website. B．A science fiction. C．The school newspaper. D．A technology ad. 【答案】1．D 2．B 3．C 4．B 5．A 【导语】本文主要讨论了大学生如何使用人工智能工具，以及教师对人工智能在课堂使用的看法和担忧。 1．细节理解题。根据“College students are increasingly turning to artificial intelligence tools like ChatGPT to get quick answers rather than deepen their understanding, a new national survey finds. To understand how college students are using AI tools, researchers asked 1,000 U. S. college students about their habits and found that most use AI for what researchers call ‘executive help’—seeking fast solutions with very little effort.”可知，一项新的全国性调查发现，大学生越来越多地转向像ChatGPT这样的人工智能工具来获取快速答案，而不是加深理解，大多数学生使用人工智能是为了“执行帮助”——以很少的努力寻求快速解决方案，即为了方便。故选D。 2．推理判断题。根据“In contrast, ‘instrumental help’ involves using AI to explain concepts clearly, build skills and support independent learning. However, the study found that students who receive encouragement from professors to use AI thoughtfully are much more likely to use the technology in ways that support learning.”可知，相比之下，“工具性帮助”包括使用人工智能来清楚地解释概念、培养技能和支持自主学习，然而，研究发现，得到教授鼓励的学生更有可能以支持学习的方式使用人工智能技术，所以作者比较“执行帮助”和“工具性帮助”是为了展示哪种方式更有助于学习。故选B。 3．细节理解题。根据“Another survey of 1,505 teachers from the United States, India, Qatar, Colombia and the Philippines showed widespread concerns about plagiarism (抄袭), reduced creativity and not enough support from schools.”可知，另一项对来自美国、印度、卡塔尔、哥伦比亚和菲律宾的1505名教师的调查显示，人们普遍担心抄袭、创造力下降以及学校支持不足，文章未提及学生思维能力会因人工智能而变弱。故选C。 4．推理判断题。根据“Seventy-two percent said AI helps make routine tasks easier, 73% believe it can improve student results, and 69% said it allows for more personalized (个性化的) learning.”可知，72%的人表示人工智能有助于简化日常任务，73%的人认为它可以提高学生的学习成绩，69%的人表示它可以实现更个性化的学习，作者在最后一段使用数字是为了使他的观点更有说服力和可信度。故选B。 5．推理判断题。文章主要讨论了大学生如何使用人工智能工具，以及教师对人工智能在课堂使用的看法和担忧，所以这篇文章最有可能发表在教育网站上。故选A。 How to make festive gift tags (标签)? In recent years, zero-waste living has been from fashionable topics to a way of life for many people, including myself. And I’ve got an interesting way to help reduce some of that waste. Last year, I created some free templates for reusable, zero-waste embroidered (刺绣) gift tags, and I’m excited to stitch (缝) up some more this year. Each one can be made in less than 20 minutes, then reused over and over. Let me show you my steps: · Print out the gift tag templates, then cut out the design you want to make. If you’re making the tags in a card, print them directly onto your card stock—but if you’re making them in felt (毛毡), print them onto paper and draw the design onto the felt with tailor chalk. · Using your sewing needle and embroidery thread, stitch the design on the template using the dots as a guide. It’s best to use a back stitch to create the design. If you’re stitching them in felt, you can stitch through both the paper template and the felt, then get away the paper at the end. If you’re stitching a card tag, try not to bend or tear the card as you do this. It might take a little practice to get a good feel for it. · Build up the design until it’s finished, using as many colours of thread as you want. · Tie off the ends and cut away the extra thread. · Finally, tie a loop to the top of the tags, and stick the tags to your gifts. The easiness of these tags makes them the perfect low effort but high effect project. They’re perfect for a relaxing afternoon with friends, or you could sit on the sofa with a festive film and create some. It’s even more fun with a cup of hot chocolate! 1．Why did the writer start making embroidered gift tags? A．Because it was a fashionable thing to do. B．Because it helped reduce waste in daily life. C．Because they were cheaper than bought tags. D．Because they were required by friends. 2．What does the word “template” in the passage most probably mean? A．A kind of special paper for writing. B．A ready-made design used as a guide. C．A tool for making embroidery easier. D．A material for making beautiful gifts. 3．What is the correct order of making the gift tags? a. Stitch the design following the dots b. Print out and cut the template c. Tie a loop to the top of the tag d. Tie off the ends and cut extra thread A．a-b-d-c B．b-d-a-c C．b-a-d-c D．a-d-b-c 4．How does the writer feel about making these gift tags? A．It is difficult but worthwhile. B．It is interesting but tiring. C．It is enjoyable and relaxing. D．It is expensive but interesting. 【答案】1．B 2．B 3．C 4．C 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要内容是介绍如何制作可重复使用的零浪费刺绣礼物标签，并分享了作者的个人体验和环保理念。 1．细节理解题。根据第一段内容“In recent years, zero-waste living has been from fashionable topics to a way of life for many people, including myself. And I’ve got an interesting way to help reduce some of that waste.”可知，文中开头提到“零浪费生活已成为许多人的生活方式”，且作者说“我有一个有趣的方法来帮助减少一些浪费”，说明初衷是减少浪费。故选B。 2．词句猜测题。根据前文“· Print out the gift tag templates, then cut out the design you want to make.”和“· Using your sewing needle and embroidery thread, stitch the design on the template using the dots as a guide.”可知，文中提到“打印礼物标签模板”，“按照模板上的点刺绣”。由此可推测，下划线单词“template”最有可能是“一种用作指南的现成设计”。故选B。 3．细节理解题。根据“· Print out the gift tag templates, then cut out the design you want to make.…· Using your sewing needle and embroidery thread, stitch the design on the template using the dots as a guide.…· Build up the design until it’s finished, using as many colours of thread as you want. · Tie off the ends and cut away the extra thread.  · Finally, tie a loop to the top of the tags, and stick the tags to your gifts.”可知，制作礼品标签的正确步骤是：先打印并裁剪模板(b)→ 按点刺绣(a)→ 打结并剪去多余线头(d)→ 在标签顶部系上挂环(c)。故选C。 4．观点态度题。根据最后一段内容“The easiness of these tags makes them the perfect low effort but high effect project. They’re perfect for a relaxing afternoon with friends, or you could sit on the sofa with a festive film and create some. It’s even more fun with a cup of hot chocolate!”可知，最后一段提到“这是完美的低投入高效果项目”“适合与朋友一起度过轻松下午”“甚至配上一杯热巧克力更有趣”，可见作者认为这一过程愉悦且放松。故选C。 The Jiangsu Football City League is very popular these days. People also call it “Jiangsu Super League” or “Su Chao” in Chinese. The league started on May 10th, 2025.

It means creating, repairing, or improving things by oneself instead of buying new items or paying someone to do them. DIY projects can be very different, from making home decorations to fixing broken furniture. First, DIY helps save money. Instead of spending a lot on new products or services, people can use their skills and creativity to make things at a lower cost. For example, repainting old furniture or sewing a handmade bag is much cheaper than buying new ones. Second, DIY enhances creativity and problem-solving skills. When working on a project, people often need to think creatively to find solutions. This not only makes the brain more active but also brings a sense of achievement once the task is completed. Moreover, DIY is environmentally friendly. By reusing and recycling materials, we reduce waste and help protect the planet. For instance, turning glass jars into flower vases or using old clothes to make tote bags can minimize unnecessary trash. In conclusion, DIY is a rewarding activity that saves money, boosts creativity, and benefits the environment. Whether it’s a small craft or a big home improvement project, the joy of creating something with your own hands is truly priceless.

Not only can you see his face and hear his voice, but you can also smell the cookies he has just baked. It sounds like something out of a science fiction movie, but could it actually happen? Smells are created by tiny particles called molecules (分子) that float through the air and reach your nose. Your nose then sends signals to your brain, which recognizes the smell. So, could your phone send smell molecules to you so that you know what it is? Think about how your phone screen works. It doesn’t have every color in the world stored inside it. Instead, it uses just three colors to create millions of different hues and shades. Now imagine something for smells. Scientists are developing digital scent (香味) technology that uses a number of different cartridges (盒；匣), each containing a specific scent. Just like how pixels (像素) mix red, green and blue to create images, these scent cartridges could mix to create different smells. Images on your phone are made of digital codes that represent mix of pixels, and smells are created in the same way. When you receive a digital scent code, your phone could mix tiny amounts of the different scents from the cartridges to create the desired smell. This mix would then be released through a small vent (通风口) on the phone, allowing you to smell it. With a few cartridges, your phone could create a large number of smells. Creating such a phone faces more challenges. One is designing a system that can produce thousands of different smells using a few cartridges. And phones will also need to sense scents near them and change those into digital codes, so your friends’ phones can send smells to you. The cartridges should also be easy to refill, and the chemicals in them be safe to breathe. Even though we’re not there yet, maybe one day you’ll be able to not only see and hear your friend’s birthday party over the phone, but also smell the candles they blew out. 1．How do people smell? Put the following sentences in the correct order. ①Tiny particles reach the nose.    ②The brain recognizes the smell. ③The nose sends signals to the brain.    ④Tiny particles float through the air. A．①④③② B．④①③② C．①③④② D．①③②④ 2．By mentioning how phone screens work, the writer tries to ________. A．compare technologies used in showing colours and sending smells B．explain the real possibility of making phones send smells C．show that it is easier to show colours on the screen D．introduce the powerful function of future phones 3．Which of the following correctly describes “cartridges”? A．Three cartridges are needed to make different scents. B．Cartridges are able to sense scents around the phones. C．Cartridges create smells according to the digital scent codes. D．Cartridges play the most important role in making smell phones. 4．Which of the following things CANNOT help people to smell with the phone? A．Pixels. B．A vent. C．Chemicals. D．Cartridges. 5．What can we infer from the passage? A．Pixel technology can be used directly to create digital scents. B．Only in science fiction movies can we see people use smell phones. C．Smell phones send digital scent codes to the brain to make us smell. D．A powerful system needs to be developed to make smell phones a reality. 【答案】1．B 2．B 3．C 4．A 5．D 【导语】本文介绍了科学家正在研发的数字香味技术，未来手机可能通过混合不同香味盒中的气味来实现远程传递气味的功能。 1．细节理解题。根据“Tiny particles called molecules float through the air and reach your nose. Your nose then sends signals to your brain, which recognizes the smell.”可知气味感知的正确顺序是：④微粒漂浮→①到达鼻子→③传递信号→②大脑识别，故选B。 2．推理判断题。根据“Think about how your phone screen works…Now imagine something for smells”可知作者通过类比屏幕显示原理来解释气味传输的可能性，故选B。 3．细节理解题。根据“these scent cartridges could mix to create different smells…your phone could mix tiny amounts of the different scents from the cartridges”可知香味盒能根据数字代码混合产生气味，故选C。 4．细节理解题。根据全文内容可知，像素（pixels）是用于图像显示的概念，与气味传输无关，故选A。 5．推理判断题。根据“Creating such a phone faces more challenges…designing a system that can produce thousands of different smells”可知要实现气味手机需要开发强大的系统，故选D。 It’s easy to think “that will never happen to me,” but natural disasters are becoming both more common (常见) and serious. Millions of families face floods, tornadoes and other natural disasters every year. In Australia, for example, its wildfires from 2019 to 2020 were caused by the high temperature and a drought (干旱). They took away the lives of hundreds of people and billions of animals! While you can’t stop disasters from happening, you can stay safe during one if you know what to do. Flood Floods can happen very suddenly. Flood water can be deeper than it looks. It can carry you away, so stay away! Glass, snakes, and dirty things can be in flood water, so don’t drink it even if you are thirsty. Tornado A tornado happens during some storms. If there’s a tornado warning, go someplace, such as a small and sturdy (结实的) bathroom, which is safe from the wind and flying things. Remember to keep away from windows or anything heavy that might fall on you. Earthquake You should move away from things that might fall. Get down under something that’s strong if you can’t rush out of the building right away. Protect your neck and head with your arm. If you’re outside, go to an open space. Stay away from trees or anything that might fall over and hurt you. Bushfire Bushfires, also known as wildfires, are common across the world during the scorching days. It is important that you try to stay calm. Some fires can start so quickly that they threaten (威胁) homes and people within minutes, so your safest choice is always to leave early. 1．The writer talks about Australian wildfires to show ________. A．wildfires are far away from us B．Australians are now in great danger C．high temperature and a drought cause wildfires D．natural disasters are becoming more and more serious 2．What does the underlined word “scorching” mean? A．stormy B．rainy C．hot D．cold 3．When disasters happen, what can we do to keep safe? A．Stay away from windows when a tornado comes. B．Drink flood water if we are thirsty when a flood happens. C．Stop moving and wait for other people’s help in a bushfire. D．Stay under the trees after getting out of buildings in an earthquake. 4．Which of the following would be the best title for the passage? A．Why Natural Disasters Happen. B．How to Keep Safe in Natural Disasters. C．What Natural Disasters Bring to Humans. D．How to Name Different Natural Disasters. 【答案】1．D 2．C 3．A 4．B 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。讲述了如何在自然灾害中的保持安全，并提供了具体的应对措施。文章通过介绍几种常见的自然灾害，包括洪水、龙卷风、地震和丛林大火，来告诉读者如何在这些灾害中确保自身安全。文章强调了制定计划以及掌握防灾知识的重要性，以应对不可预见的极端情况。 1．细节理解题。根据“It’s easy to think ‘that will never happen to me,’ but natural disasters are becoming both more common (常见) and serious.”以及“In Australia, for example, its wildfires from 2019 to 2020 were caused by the high temperature and a drought (干旱). They took away the lives of hundreds of people and billions of animals!”可知，作者通过开头和对澳大利亚野火的描述是为了强调自然灾害变得越来越普遍和严重，用来举例说明自然灾害的严重性。故选D。 2．词义猜测题。根据“Bushfires, also known as wildfires, are common across the world during the scorching days.”可知，在炎热的日子里，林火（野火）在世界范围内很常见，所以“scorching”指的是“炎热的”。故选C。 3．细节理解题。根据“If there’s a tornado warning, go someplace, such as a small and sturdy bathroom, which is safe from the wind and flying things. Remember to keep away from windows or anything heavy that might fall on you.”可知，当龙卷风来临时，要远离窗户。故选A。 4．最佳标题题。通读全文可知，文章主要介绍了几种常见的自然灾害以及在自然灾害发生时如何保持安全，B选项“如何在自然灾害中保持安全”符合文意，可作为标题。故选B。 ①Did you know that when you surf the web, websites in some countries put secret software on your computer? The software collects a large amount of information about you and sends it to internet companies. The Internet companies sell it to other businesses. Your personal information can also be gathered from social media sites. There are many ways your information can be used. ②First, companies collect your information and record all your online habits. They find out where you live, what websites you visit and what you do online. With this information, they can guess other things about you. For example, they can guess if you are a male or female, how old you are and your interests. The companies use this information to decide which ads are best for you. Two people can go to the same website, but they will see different ads. For example, someone who likes sports could see ads for trainers, and someone who likes films might see ads for a film. ③Your personal information could also be sold. Some companies collect information, so they can sell it to other businesses. A business that collects and sells personal information is called a data broker. When data brokers sell your information, a lot of different companies will know your online habits. Then the companies will advertise products from other websites to you. ④Another way your personal information can be collected is through social media. When your information is on social media, a lot of people can see it. Even if you don’t use social media, a friend might post a picture or video of you with your name on it. Pictures and videos can be shared for free on social media, which is one of the great advantages. However, that same act of sharing could be a problem for your own security (安全). If someone knows too much about you, they steal (偷窃) your identity. Then they can buy things online and post messages while pretending (假装) to be you. ⑤_________. The law is finally changing when it comes to technology. In the European Union, for example, they have introduced the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). This rule means that internet users can now ask companies to show them what information they have about them and even make them delete it. If other countries do the same, the internet could soon be a much safer place. 1．According to Paragraph 2, what will the companies find by collecting your information? a. age and hobbies    b. online activities    c. address    d. job A．b. c. d. B．a. b. d. C．a. c. d. D．a. b. c. 2．Your personal information can be directly collected through the following EXCEPT _________. A．social media B．websites C．the government D．secret software 3．Which of the following statements is WRONG? A．Data brokers can make money by selling personal information to other businesses. B．No one can get your information if your friend posts a video of you with your name on it. C．According to GDPR, we can ask companies to delete our personal information they have collected online. D．Different people can see different ads on the same website because their online habits have been gathered. 4．Which sentence is the most suitable for the beginning of the last paragraph? A．However, it’s not all bad news. B．Anyway, every coin has two sides. C．Actually, different people have different opinions. D．Indeed, people believe things are changing for the worse. 5．Which of the following best shows the structure of the passage? A． B． C． D． 【答案】1．D 2．C 3．B 4．A 5．B 【导语】本文是说明文。主要讲了个人信息被多种方式收集和利用，可能导致的后果。 1．细节理解题。根据第二段“They find out where you live, what websites you visit and what you do online...they can guess if you are a male or female, how old you are and your interests”可知，公司通过收集你的信息，可以推测出你的年龄和爱好、你的在线活动以及你的地址。故选D。 2．细节理解题。根据第一段“when you surf the web, websites in some countries put secret software on your computer...Your personal information can also be gathered from social media sites”可知，个人信息可以通过社交媒体、网站和秘密软件直接收集到，而没有提到通过政府直接收集个人信息。故选C。 3．细节理解题。根据第四段“ a friend might post a picture or video of you with your name on it. Pictures and videos can be shared for free on social media...However, that same act of sharing could be a problem for your own security”可知，即使你不使用社交媒体，朋友可能会发布带有你名字的照片或视频，很多人可以看到你的信息。所以即使朋友发布了带有你名字的视频，也有人可能会获取你的信息。B选项错误。故选B。 4．推理判断题。根据“The law is finally changing when it comes to technology...If other countries do the same, the internet could soon be a much safer place.”可知，法律在逐渐对技术做出反应，如果其他国家也这样做，互联网很快就会成为一个安全得多的地方。这些都是好的方面。选项A“然而，这并不全是坏消息”符合语境。故选A。 5．篇章结构题。根据第一段“Did you know that when you surf the web, websites in some countries put secret software on your computer?”可知，第1段引出现象；第二段“First...”、第三段“Your personal information could also be sold”和第四段“Your personal information could also be sold”可知，第2段至第4段分别介绍不同的信息收集途径及影响；第五段“The law is finally changing when it comes to technology”可知，第5段引出法律法规的改善。故选B。 Natural disasters, such as earthquakes, rainstorms and strong winds, usually make a big difference to human life. They not only cause property (财产) loss but also take away people’s lives. Strong winds can be very terrible. On March 31st, 2024, strong winds hit Nanchang, Jiangxi province. The strong winds broke the windows into pieces and blew off three people sleeping at home, causing their deaths. What’s worse, more than 1,600 trees were blown down overnight. This deadly disaster was mainly caused by funnelling (狭管效应). When the earthquake happens, the ground and buildings will shake terribly. In serious situations, buildings may even fall down and will bury people in the ground. Recently, in Taiwan, the most powerful earthquake in a quarter century rocked the island on April 3rd. At least nine people were killed and hundreds of people were hurt. Another example is rainstorms. They can flood many places. Dubai lies on the coast of the Persian Gulf and in the northeast of the U. A．E. with a long and beautiful coastline. It doesn’t rain a lot. But on April 16th, a big rainstorm hit Dubai. It rained so much in just 12 hours that it was like a year’s worth of rain. The heavy rain flooded roads, shopping malls, and even airports, causing a lot of damage (破坏). To better deal with natural disasters, we need to make our disaster prevention, mitigation, and relief coordination system (防灾救灾机制) better. Also, people should learn ways to protect themselves when facing natural disasters. But most importantly, we should realize that we are not the master of nature, we need to care about it and respect (尊重) it. 1．How many pieces of news about natural disasters are mentioned? A．Two. B．Three. C．Four. D．Five. 2．What kind of damage can an earthquake probably cause? A．It can blow down a lot of trees overnight. B．It can make buildings fall and kill people. C．It can flood many places like roads and airports. D．It can make plants die because of too little water. 3．How does the writer develop Paragraph 2? Mini-dictionary Facts are true statements. They include names, dates, events and numbers. Opinions tell what we believe, feel or think. They may not be true. A．Fact—Opinion—Way B．Fact—Way—Opinion C．Opinion—Fact—Reason D．Opinion—Reason—Fact 4．What might be talked about in the following paragraph? A．Why natural disasters can take away people’s lives. B．How we can respect nature and live better with it. C．Where we can learn about different natural disasters. D．Which kind of natural disasters is the most dangerous. 【答案】1．B 2．B 3．C 4．B 【导语】本文主要介绍了强风、地震、暴风雨等自然灾害的危害，以及人类应该如何应对它们。 1．细节理解题。根据“Strong winds...”、“When the earthquake happens...”和“Another example is rainstorms.”可知，文章一共提到了三种自然灾害的新闻。故选B。 2．细节理解题。根据“When the earthquake happens, the ground and buildings will shake terribly. In serious situations, buildings may even fall down and will bury people in the ground.”可知，地震会造成房屋的倒塌和人员的伤亡。故选B。 3．推理判断题。根据“Strong winds can be very terrible. On March 31st, 2024, strong winds hit Nanchang, Jiangxi province. The strong winds broke the windows into pieces and blew off three people sleeping at home, causing their deaths. What’s worse, more than 1,600 trees were blown down overnight. This deadly disaster was mainly caused by funnelling.”可知，本段第一句表述了作者认为“强风非常糟糕”的观点，接下来讲述了江西南昌遭受强风自然灾害的事实，最后说明了此次灾害发生的原因。故选C。 4．推理判断题。根据“But most importantly, we should realize that we are not the master of nature, we need to care about it and respect it.”可知，文章结尾告诉大家要关心和尊重大自然，所以推测接下来会讲述尊重大自然的方法，选项B“我们如何尊重大自然，更好地与之相处”符合。故选B。 In the entire animal world, birds are the only living creatures with feathers. They are warm-blooded, like mammals. There are about 9,000 different kinds of birds living in all parts of the world. They include exotic, colorful birds such as parrots, garden birds such as robins and thrushes, water birds such as ducks, sea birds such as puffins and penguins, and many more. The tiny bee hummingbird is one of the world’s smallest birds. It measures about 2 inches (5cm) from beak to tail and is so light that 17 bee hummingbirds weigh only 1 oz (28g). A bee hummingbird is so small that it could fit in the palm of your hand. The ostrich, which is more than 8 feet (2.5m) tall, is the world’s largest bird, but it cannot fly at all. The ostrich head looks huge in comparison to a tiny bee hummingbird. ① . These birds have large, powerful chest muscles to allow them to flap their wings. Their bones are light, which assists them during flight. Feathers are light, too. They protect the bird’s body and keep it warm. Wing feathers fit together to form a smooth, airtight surface for gliding. Tail feathers provide balance and help the bird steer in midair. ② . A few birds, however, cannot fly. Flightless or nearly flightless birds include ostriches, penguins, and the rare kakapo, a kind of parrot from New Zealand. Birds do not have teeth, which would be too heavy; instead, they have a strong, light bill, or beak. Most birds, particularly eagles and other birds of prey, have good eyesight and hearing. Their sense of smell, however, is poor. ③ . A bird’s feathers are called its plumage. Some birds, such as the wren and the sparrow, have brown plumage for camouflage. Other birds have plumage with dazzling colors and patterns. It is usually the males that have bright plumage, to help them attract a mate during the breeding season. The distinctive coloring also helps the members of a flock stay together. Most of the bones in a bird’s skeleton are hollow, with tiny, honeycombed holes, to save body weight. Wings are controlled by powerful muscles attached to the keel, which is a ridge along the edge of the breast-bone. ④ . Most of a bird’s body is taken up by the muscles, heart, lungs, and digestive system. Birds have two stomachs. The first stomach, the crop, stores food; the second, the gizzard, grinds the food to a pulp. 1．Which of the following statements about birds is true? A．17 bee hummingbirds are not as heavy as 1 oz (28g). B．Birds are the only living creatures with feathers and fur. C．Most birds have a poor sense of smell but excellent eyesight and hearing. D．Birds have heavy bones that make them unable to glide or soar in the air. 2．We’d better put the sentence “Most birds are born masters of flying.” in ______. A．① B．② C．③ D．④ 3．Why do some birds have bright feathers? A．To protect the bird’s body and keep it warm. B．To help stay away from the members of a flock. C．To provide balance and help the bird steer in midair. D．To catch the mate’s attention during the breeding season. 4．What does the underlined word “hollow” in Paragraph 6 probably mean? A．Soft. B．Strong. C．Empty inside. D．Smooth-edged. 5．The passage can usually be read in the part of ______ in a magazine. A．Culture B．Health C．Business D．Nature 【答案】1．C 2．A 3．D 4．C 5．D 【导语】本文主要介绍鸟类的生物学特征。 1．细节理解题。根据“Most birds, particularly eagles and other birds of prey, have good eyesight and hearing. Their sense of smell, however, is poor.”可知，大多数鸟类嗅觉很差，但视力和听力很好。故选C。 2．推理判断题。根据①后面的“These birds have large, powerful chest muscles to allow them to flap their wings. Their bones are light, which assists them during flight. Feathers are light, too.”以及“Wing feathers fit together to form a smooth, airtight surface for gliding. Tail feathers provide balance and help the bird steer in midair.”可知，此处与鸟类飞行有关，所以A项正确。故选A。 3．细节理解题。根据“It is usually the males that have bright plumage, to help them attract a mate during the breeding season.”可知，有些鸟有明亮的羽毛是为了在繁殖季节吸引配偶的注意。故选D。 4．词句猜测题。根据划线词后的“with tiny, honeycombed holes”可知，有着小小的蜂窝状的洞，即里面是空的，所以划线部分的含义是“空心的”。故选C。 5．推理判断题。通读全文可知，本文主要介绍鸟类的生物学特征，属于自然范畴。故选D。 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
