It has also won praise at a film festival abroad. To the Wonder is based on the award-winning novel of Li Juan, My Altay, and is directed by Teng Congcong. It is very poetic and filled with beautiful wisdom. The TV drama follows the journey of Li Wenxiu. She once wished to leave Altay, an area in Northern Xinjiang. After failing to realize her dream in the capital of Xinjiang, Li has to move back to her hometown and tries to find a new direction for herself. At first, Li finds it hard to understand her neighbours’ traditional way of thinking. Under the influence of her mother Zhang Fengxia, Li starts to see the place and its people in a new light. Later, she comes to understand their lifestyle and respect for nature. Fans describe watching the drama as an experience in the wonderland. “It’s like breathing in fresh air or lying under the sun,” said one fan. “It is a unique drama, very different from the usual Chinese series. A must-watch if you want to discover the beauty of the grassland and life there,” another fan said. “People enjoy the wonderful view of Altay. But the key to the success of the series lies in its ability to connect with the viewers on a human level,” said Teng Congcong. “In the drama, everyone communicates sincerely. Even if I disagree with you, I sincerely respect you. In fact, this is a very important part of human nature—the love for truth, goodness and beauty.” 1．To the Wonder is the name of·________. A．a foreign drama B．a famous film C．a TV series D．a beautiful poem 2．Why does Li Wenxiu come back to Altay? A．To look after her mother. B．To find herself a new direction. C．To help the local people. D．To enjoy its beautiful view. 3．The underlined word “unique” has the closest meaning to ________. A．serious B．common C．special D．strange 4．What is the key to the success of To the Wonder according to Director Teng? A．Its sincere respect for nature. B．The beautiful wisdom of the writer. C．The lifestyle of the local people. D．Its sincere connection with viewers. 5．What is the purpose of the text? A．Everyone communicates sincerely B．Life requires believing in miracles C．A love for truth, goodness, and beauty D．Sincerely respect you After a 10-year project to count tuna and other large fish in the world's oceans, scientists have made a very surprising discovery: these fish are almost gone. Because of too much fishing, almost 90 percent of the worldwide population of large fish—the ones we usually eat—has disappeared. If we don’t act, these animals will totally disappear. That will influence every animal in the ocean. The demand for fish is growing. Almost a billion people around the world get their protein (蛋白质) mostly from fish. Doctors praise seafood for being low in fat. But what seems like a healthy choice for humans is causing a disaster to our oceans. “People are consuming (消费) too much,” says Lance Morgan, a scientist at the Marine Conservation Biology Institute. A dish of tuna in restaurants costs more than just one animal's life. When fish like tuna disappear from the ecosystem (生态系统), the ocean’s food chain (链) breaks down. Animals such as sharks, which normally eat tuna, may die because they find no food. The news may be scary, but taking action from now on can prevent harm that hasn’t happened yet. World organizations are ordering countries to stop fishing too much. The Monterey Bay Aquarium gives seafood choices to anyone hoping to keep healthy without destroying the environment. “If you care about wildlife, first spend time and think about your own values and beliefs,” says Morgan. “Then decide what you’re going to eat.” 1．How does the writer start the text? A．By giving a fact. B．By asking a question. C．By telling a story. D．By using a saying. 2．What does the underlined word “demand” in Paragraph 2 probably mean? A．Wish. B．Support. C．Need. D．Price. 3．From Paragraph 3, we know that ________. A．if sharks die out, tuna will die out soon B．tuna will be more popular in restaurants C．tuna plays an important role in the ecosystem D．tuna disappeared because they found no food 4．What’s the purpose of the text? A．To tell people to stop polluting our oceans. B．To tell people to protect wildlife in oceans. C．To tell people to avoid eating too much seafood. D．To tell people to live a balanced and healthy life. 5．What does the last paragraph of the article explain ________. A．We need to care about wildlife B．We need to eat wild animals C．We need to reflect on our own values and beliefs D．We don’t want to protect wild animals There’s no better way to start the holidays than with a holiday movie. The storylines of these movies are often silly and easy to understand. The characters are not reasonable enough. The plot moves too fast to be realistic. Even so, the happy endings make you feel good. And as it turns out, there are reasons behind the joy you get from watching them. Holiday movies are usually relaxing. Watching them is good for our physical health. According to a study published in 2020 in the book Nostalgia Now, holiday movies can lower stress hormones (荷尔蒙) and increase cardiovascular (心血管的) health because the movies are always full of fun. Holiday movies do more than just benefit our bodies. They can improve our mental (心理的) health as well. Courtney Cope, a scientist, once said, “When it comes to holiday movies, we know they are always going to work out in the most positive way. It’s a nice vacation from reality for our minds.” In fact, when we are watching these movies, we imagine ourselves living in a perfect world. Besides, holiday movies enable us to see things in a new way or feel encouraged to make a difference. We often see characters that we respect overcome all kinds of difficulties. The movies serve as a reminder that even in the worst of times, there is always hope. Moreover, most holiday movies are family-friendly. When we watch them with others, we create shared memories and strengthen relationships. The laughter and joking about an unrealistic movie create a positive bonding experience, which makes us feel closer and “at home” for the holidays. The shared memories and experiences make the holidays more meaningful. 1．What can we learn about holiday movies from paragraph 1? A．They tell realistic stories. B．The characters are clever. C．They have happy endings. D．The storylines are hard to follow. 2．Why does the writer mention the study in paragraph 2? A．To bring up a new idea. B．To compare different facts. C．To call for further studies. D．To provide scientific support. 3．What can we infer from Courtney Cope’s words? A．People enjoy going on vacation with family. B．The characters in the movies are role models. C．Our minds like the relaxing break from reality. D．Holiday movies remind us of the difficult times. 4．What does the underlined word “bonding” in paragraph 5 probably mean? A．Working. B．Waiting. C．Learning. D．Connecting. 5．Which of the following best shows the structure of the text? (P=Paragraph) A．B．C． D． 【热点话题练习】 Zigong, a city in Sichuan Province, is known as the home of Chinese lanterns. These lanterns are even called “the best lanterns in the world”. The history of Chinese lanterns goes back over 2,000 years to the Western Han Dynasty. At first, people made simple lanterns with bamboo and paper for lighting. Later, they hung lanterns during festivals to make a happy atmosphere. By the Tang Dynasty, the Zigong Lantern Festival started. At that time, lanterns became more beautiful—people painted flowers, birds and stories on them. As time went on, Zigong lanterns developed by mixing traditional culture with modern technologies. In 2008, the Zigong Lantern Festival was listed as a national intangible cultural heritage (国家级非物质文化遗产). Today, it has become a famous symbol of Chinese culture to be known around the world. Wan Songtao, an inheritor (继承人) of Zigong lantern-making, said making a big exhibition lantern requires 17 steps, and each step needs teamwork. For example, a sundial-shaped (日晷) lantern made by his team took 80 makers more than 50 days to finish. Unlike lanterns in other places, Zigong’s use modern tech like AI. They connect lights, sounds and movements very well. What’s more, the theme of the lantern can be chosen in different ways. Zhang Fanglai from the Colorful Lantern Museum of China said any design can be made into lanterns, and people are encouraged to turn their ideas into real works. The rich themes of the lanterns show locals’ creativity and warmth. The government encourages people to learn lantern-making. Without doubt, the heart of the Zigong Lantern Festival’s success is the local tradition of working together. So far, Zigong lanterns have reached over 80 countries. It’s believed they will go to every corner of the world in the future. 1．When did the Zigong Lantern Festival begin? A．Over 2000 years ago. B．In the Song Dynasty. C．In the Tang Dynasty. D．In the Western Han Dynasty. 2．Why are Zigong’s lanterns different from others? A．They are painted with stories. B．They use modern technologies. C．They take a long time to finish. D．They are made of paper and silk. 3．What can we learn from the last two paragraphs? A．The lanterns’ themes are about working. B．Teamwork is the key to Zigong’s success. C．The locals are born to make good lanterns. D．All the ideas can be turned into real works. 4．Which of the following are mentioned in this passage? ①The theme of the Zigong lanterns.            ②The popularity of the Zigong Lanterns. ③The development of the Zigong lanterns.        ④The process of making the Zigong lanterns. A．①②③ B．①③④ C．②③④ D．①②④ 5．What is the best title for the passage? A．AI Technology Develops Fast B．Wonderful World Traditional Art C．Creative Themes of Zigong Lanterns D．Zigong Lanterns: China’s Shining Card From a baby to an adult, we go through a process of learning to behave in ways acceptable to the society—often referred to as “socialization” or “social skills”. Without these skills, forming meaningful relationships can be challenging. In recent years, Chinese social media has seen growing discussions about socialization. Many young people express worry over what they see as their own “lack of socialization.” Using this term, they describe feelings of embarrassment and uncertainty in social situations. One major reason often mentioned is exam-focused education, which is believed to lead students to value grades over everything else. As a result, many young adults feel unprepared for real-world social situations. Some even feel like children “pretending to be adults,” struggling to deal with a complex social environment. Yan Yunxiang, a social science expert, has introduced the concept of “extended youth”, suggesting that many people today choose to delay taking on adult roles due to related burdens and risks. This “refusal to grow up” deepens the feelings of social inadequacy, which makes young people feel less confident in fitting into the real world. Researchers also point to digital communication as another possible reason. Younger generations spend more time interacting through screens rather than in person. While online interaction has its place, it cannot fully replace face-to-face contact. A well-known study by Albert Mehrabian has found that 7% of communication is based on words, 38% through tone and voice, and 55% through body language. That means when we communicate through calls or texts, we may not fully understand others. The good news is that it’s never too late to improve your social skills. Make a conscious effort to join in more real-world conversations and practice active listening. Through regular interaction, you can level up skills such as reading nonverbal (非言语的) clues and guiding a conversation smoothly. These experiences can help you better understand the unwritten rules of socializing. 1．According to paragraph 1, which situation shows a “lack of socialization”? A．Feeling proud when praised by others. B．Feeling excited when meeting friends. C．Feeling afraid when talking to strangers. D．Feeling regretful when making mistakes. 2．What is one main reason for young people’s social anxiety? A．The burdens and risks of modern adult life. B．A negative attitude to forming relationships. C．An education system that overvalues results. D．The difficulty in keeping in touch with others. 3．What does “inadequacy” probably mean in paragraph 3? A．Inability. B．Hesitation. C．Loneliness. D．Impatience. 4．What does Albert Mehrabian’s study show? A．Telephone calls can replace text- based messages. B．Much information is missing in online interaction. C．Tone of voice is more effective than body language. D．The words we use are not so important for meaning. 5．What is the author’s attitude towards a “lack of socialization”? A．It is difficult to improve social skills after childhood. B．It is important to reduce unwritten rules in social life. C．It is common in society and will be changed naturally. D．It is manageable and can be improved through practice. In the dry deserts in northwest China, something amazing is happening. Land that was once covered in sand and almost lifeless now has rows of shiny black solar panels (太阳能板) stretching as far as the eye can see. These are not just solar panels—they are part of China’s plan to turn deserts into energy factories. In Inner Mongolia, a project called the Solar Great Wall covers a large area of desert. It aims to produce enough electricity to light up several major cities in eastern China by 2030. But these panels turn out to do more than producing power. The shadow they provide has slowed down water evaporation, allowing plants like grass to grow in the desert. Over the past five years, the area that was 98% sand now has up to 80% plant coverage. This not only stops sandstorms but also creates habitats for animals like goats and birds. Meanwhile, in the high mountains of Qinghai, herders (牧民) also benefit from solar panels. Standing 1.2 metres high, they act like huge umbrellas. The shadow they provide protects the sheep from the burning heat in summer, while the space under the panels grows fresh grass. This harmonious mixture of traditional herding and modern technology allows herders to sell wool and electricity as well, with many nearly doubling their income. This success is not just local. Chinese companies are sharing their ideas worldwide. In Argentina, a solar farm built with China’s help now provides power for 100,000 homes and brings in money for local farmers. In Saudi Arabia, plans are in progress to build solar farms in deserts using methods developed in China. Even African nations like Namibia are practicing Chinese solar technology to reduce their dependence on fossil fuels like coal and oil. From deserts to farms, China’s solar revolution offers a possibility of sustainable (可持续的) development. As the sun sets over the Gobi Desert, the panels continue their quiet work—a reminder that the future of energy might just be written in sunlight and sand. 1．How does the author introduce the topic? A．By telling a story. B．By giving a definition. C．By listing numbers. D．By describing a scene. 2．What is the purpose of the Solar Great Wall? A．Covering the desert. B．Producing green energy. C．Reducing water loss. D．Protecting desert animals. 3．What has been achieved by using solar panels in Qinghai? A．Herders there have earned more money than before. B．Grass under the panels has grown to 1.2 metres high. C．The sheep have got more sunshine in high mountains. D．The production of wool has nearly doubled in the area. 4．Why does the author mention China’s help to other countries in paragraph 4? A．To criticize the use of fossil fuels worldwide. B．To doubt the effectiveness of the local success. C．To show the technology’s use around the world. D．To admit the common efforts by other countries. 5．Which is the best title for the article? A．Turning deserts into green forests. B．Fighting sandstorms with sunlight. C．Solar revolution: experience of China. D．Sunlight and sand: stories of the desert. For centuries, sailors have told amazing stories of “milky seas”. Imagine sailing at night when suddenly the entire ocean turns bright white. It produces a steady light and glows like a field of heavy snow. It is so large that it can be seen even from space! Sailors also report that the ocean becomes strangely calm during these events. For a long time, it was a mystery between myth and science. It is so rare that there is only one known photograph of it, taken in 2019. Now, by creating a database from old sailor reports and modern satellite pictures, scientists have become detectives and managed to study the situation. Scientists believe the primary source of the light is billions of tiny bacteria in the water. This is different from the quick and sudden bright light of plankton (浮游生物). According to their study, the glowing bacteria might live with a type of algae (藻类) that creates calming slime (黏液) on the surface of water. Their detective work also discovered other fascinating details. For example, milky seas are not just small patches of light. They can be very huge, sometimes covering an area larger than a state. Besides, their appearance may be connected to climate patterns like La Niña, which bring nutrient-rich waters to the surface, feeding the bacteria. Yet, for all its beauty, this impressive scene might hold a darker meaning. The bacteria thought to cause milky seas is also a known “killer” of some fish. As the scientists note, if these milky seas become more common, it could be a very clear warning sign from the ocean itself. 1．What is the ocean like when there is a milky sea? A．The water suddenly becomes cooler. B．The water is unusually thick and still. C．The water changes into ice overnight. D．The water becomes very clear quickly. 2．Why was it so difficult for scientists to study milky seas directly? A．The glowing area was dangerous to come close. B．Satellites couldn’t take clear pictures of the ocean. C．They were believed to be myths made up by sailors. D．The events were very uncommon and unpredictable. 3．Where does the light in a milky sea come from? A．Calming slime. B．Glowing algae. C．Glowing bacteria. D．Shining plankton. 4．What is this article mainly about? A．A mysterious event in the ocean. B．A discovery of deep-sea creatures. C．A situation causing climate change. D．Sea pollution resulting from sailing. 5．In which column can you read the article? A．Food and health. B．Travel and adventure. C．Legends and myths. D．Science and technology. Though among the most popular pets, house cats remain mysterious (神秘的) to many. While we know exactly when they’re hungry, it is often unclear what they pay attention to at other times. Now, researchers have found that these independent animals can learn the names of other cats they live with. Some might even connect their human friends’ faces with their names. The researchers examined the actions of cats living in homes with at least two cats, and compared them with cats living in cat cafes (咖啡馆). In the test, each cat was shown a photo of a cat they knew on a screen while a recorded voice played correct and incorrect names. When the name did not match the cat they were looking at, the house cats would fix their eyes on it longer and tilt (倾斜) their heads, as if thinking. “Is this certain to be my friend’s name?” However, cats living in cat cafes did not act the same way. The researchers suggest that this is because cafe cats are called by a number of names by different visitors. As a result, they have less chance to hear one exact name repeated over and over again, making it harder for them to learn it properly. The researchers also wondered whether cats can learn human names. The results were less clear than with cat names, but a pattern appeared: Cats that had lived with a larger family of humans for a longer time seemed better at connecting human faces with names. Unless we can invent a machine that truly understands animals’ thoughts, it’s impossible to know for sure what is going on in a cat’s mind. But this study shows that through everyday family life, cats do seem to remember which name goes with which person. This finding proves our pet cats are really quite smart——they learn far more from living with us than we often realize. 1．What can we learn about cats from paragraph 1? A．They depend on humans too much. B．They are the most mysterious pets. C．They can learn other cats’ names. D．They are easy to get hungry. 2．What happened during the test when a wrong name was called? A．House cats watched the screen longer. B．Cats tried to call the right name. C．The cafe cats acted more strongly. D．House cats stopped tilting their heads. 3．Why didn’t the cafe cats act the same as the house cats? A．They weren’t as smart as house cats. B．They didn’t live with a large family. C．The visitors were not their owners. D．They heard different names from people. 4．What can we infer (推断) from the research? A．Cats’ name-learning has nothing to do with family size. B．Cats may need time and daily life to learn human names. C．Cats remember human names as clearly as their own names. D．Scientists surely understand cats’ brain when learning names. 5．How does the writer mainly develop the text? A．By telling stories. B．By giving examples. C．By listing numbers. D．By making comparisons. On August 14, 2025, Beijing held the world’s first Humanoid Robot Games (人形机器人比赛). The event took place at the National Speed Skating Oval. Over 500 robots from 16 countries formed 280 teams. The three-day competitions had three fun parts—sports, performance shows and daily tasks. In sports events, robots joined running races, high jump and soccer. The most exciting part was a 5v5 soccer game where the robots could make decisions all by themselves without human help. For performance shows, robots danced in groups and did cool kung fu. 60 small robots even wore colorful Chinese opera clothes to put on a wonderful show that made everyone cheer. In daily task tests, robots finished jobs like cleaning hotel rooms in 20 minutes or putting hospital medicines in order. Besides, teams from top universities (such as Tsinghua University and Peking University) and companies took part. They joined teams from other countries. A Chinese official said every robot was “making history”. Sometimes robots stumbled while performing, but the event’s goal was to make technology better through real practice. He said, “We allow robots to fall or even make mistakes sometimes. Letting robots fall 100 times on the field is better than 1,000 tests in the lab (实验室).” This special event not only shows that China has made great progress in AI robot technology but also lets us see a bright future where humans and machines work together happily to make life better. 1．What did the robots do in the competitions according to Paragraph 2? ① ② ③ ④ A．①②③ B．②③④ C．①②④ D．①③④ 2．What does the underlined word “stumbled” probably mean in Paragraph 3? A．worked well B．fell down C．moved fast D．talked loudly 3．Why did the event allow robots to fall sometimes? A．To make the games more exciting. B．To test how strong the robots were. C．To show that robots are not perfect. D．To improve technology through real practice. 4．What would be the best structure of the passage? A． B． C． D． 5．Which of the following best describes the Humanoid Robot Games? A．Boring and useless B．Simple and traditional C．Creative and meaningful D．Difficult and dangerous There are challenges (挑战) to recycling clothes. But a company in France is trying to make it easier. The company is called CETIA．It built two machines that use artificial intelligence (AI) (人工智能) to help recycle clothes and shoes. With AI technology, one machine can find and cut off zippers and buttons (拉链和纽扣) on clothes, while the other machine can pull off soles (鞋底) from shoes easily. This sounds simple, but no one has ever done it before. “No one was recycling soles because it was hard to separate (分离) them from shoes,” said Chloe Salmon Legagneur, director of CETIA．People had to put the shoes on an oven to melt (熔化) the glue and pull off the soles by hand. But CETIA’s machine can do it much more easily. Some clothes can be recycled into materials for houses or roads. But most clothes do not become new clothes again. That’s because clothes have different materials that must be separated carefully by hand. That usually takes a long time and is expensive. But CETIA’s machine can do the separation faster and better than people. It can even separate clothes by color and material, making it easier to recycle them into new clothes. Recycling clothes and shoes is important because it reduces waste and can even create new jobs. CETIA is doing amazing work by developing those recycling machines. They’re showing us that with smart thinking, we can find ways to solve big problems. 1．What is CETIA? A．A clothing store. B．A cleaning business. C．A technology company. D．An environmental organization. 2．What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 3 refer to? A．Pulling off soles from shoes. B．Separating clothes by color and material. C．Cutting off zippers and buttons on clothes. D．Putting the shoes on an oven to melt the glue. 3．What does the writer think about the two machines? A．He finds them amazing. B．He thinks they’re helpless. C．He believes they need improvement. D．He worries about their future. 4．Which of the following shows the structure of the passage?

A．explain the importance of recycling B．introduce a company and its inventions C．call for people to protect the environment D．make a report on a company’s achievements Do you know the Rubik’s Cube? It’s a fun toy that people all over the world love to play with! A man named Emo Rubik in Budapest, Hungary created the first one in 1974. Now, over 50 years later, the Rubik’s Cube is still the best-selling toy ever! Rubik’s first design (设计) included 27 smaller cubes. They formed six sides with six colors. To solve the Rubik’s Cube, you must twist the cube so that each side shows only one color. Sounds simple? It’s not! There are millions of ways to mix the colors, but there’s only one solution. At first, Rubik named his new toy the Magic Cube. He started selling it at toy stores in Hungary. In 1980, a toy company changed its name to the Rubik’s Cube. Later, it quickly became a huge success around the world. It took Rubik about a month to solve his own cube for the first time. But people wanted to solve it faster. In 1982, the first Rubik’s Cube World Championship took place. A 16-year-old named Minh Thai won in 22.95 seconds. Over time, people got faster and faster. In 2015, Lucas Etter solved it in under 5 seconds. In 2023, Max Park set a new record in just 3.13 seconds! People also came up with fun ways to solve the Rubik’s Cube, like using smaller or larger cubes, wearing blindfolds (蒙眼布), using their feet, or even solving it while underwater or juggling (玩抛接杂耍)! The Rubik’s Cube is more than just a toy. It’s now part of world culture. It appears in films, TV shows, and even the hands of world leaders. Jessica Fridrich, who wrote about ways to solve the Rubik’s Cube, had a message for the Rubik’s Cube. “Thank you for bringing joy to humans,” she said. “May you live forever!” 1．What do we know about the first Rubik’s Cube? A．It had lots of solutions. B．It was made in America. C．It was created in the 1970s. D．It included 26 smaller cubes. 2．What does the underlined word “twist” in Paragraph 2 probably mean? A．Throw.

Or do you actually forget all of the information you wrote down after class? A useful note-taking method (方法) can not only save your time, but also help you better understand what you have learned. This well-known note-taking method is called the Cornell Note-taking System which was first developed by Walter Pauk at Cornell University. According to Cornell Notes, each page is divided into several parts: the note-taking column (栏), the cue (提示) column and the summary (总结) space. The biggest note-taking column is used to write down notes while you are in class or reading an article. The key point is that you don’t write down what you hear word by word. What you write down needs to be very brief. You can use symbols or keywords instead of long sentences. You can write some questions in the cue column. The next step is to cover the note-taking column with a piece of paper. Then, by only looking at the questions about key words, try to repeat in your own words. The summary space is to help you look back on what you’ve learned. Questions may also be useful. For example, what’s the meaning of these facts? You can also write down your own ideas and personal feelings. Don’t forget to review from time to time so that you will remember the information more easily. After a few months of using this handy note-taking method, you’ll finally be able to remember what you have learned. 1．Which problem can the note-taking method help with? A．You don’t have patience with learning. B．You don’t get good grades in exams. C．You can’t remember what you’ve learned. D．You can’t pay attention to teachers in class. 2．How many parts does a page of Cornell Notes include? A．1. B．2. C．3. D．4. 3．What does the underlined word “brief” mean in paragraph 3? A．Creative and tidy. B．Short and clear. C．Natural and short. D．Clear and useful. 4．How can you use the cue column? A．By writing down some questions about keywords. B．By writing down what the teacher said word by word. C．By writing down notes while reading and listening. D．By writing down your own ideas and personal feelings. 5．Which of the following can be the best title for the passage? A．How to Take Notes with Less Time B．The Cornell Note-taking System C．Different Note-taking Methods D．The Importance of Reviewing Notes Whether you’re telling someone how to get to your house or guiding a stranger to a local museum, you should know how to give good directions. Giving directions, though, is harder than just telling someone how to get to a certain location. Let’s learn how to guide others better. First, instead of directing a person from beginning to end, think of it as directing him from landmark (地标) to landmark. And mention important and hard-to-miss landmarks. These will give the person an idea of the progress he’s making and also let the person know if he’s still on the path you advised him to take. If you can’t describe the route (路线) clearly in words, draw a map. A map allows the person to imagine where he’s going. You can also include details, such as the location of landmarks, on your map. Also, the map can give the person something to hold on to so he won’t forget your directions. Although it might be convenient to give someone directions to your favourite shortcut (近路), it could do more harm than good. Instead, give the simplest directions. This will reduce the risk of the person getting lost. When considering the simplest route, choose routes with fewer turns, even if the person takes a bit longer, or pick routes where the person can stay on one road for a long time. Avoid suggesting routes you haven’t personally taken. Finally, don’t rush when giving directions. Take time to explain important details, such as possible dangers. If you don’t speak slowly or clearly, the person may miss an important piece of information. At the same time, avoid using words, phrases, or names that only locals know. Any example you use should be recognisable (可辨认的) to someone from outside your community. 1．John must mention ________ when using landmarks to guide others. A．the colour of each landmark B．the time of arrival at the place C．the main landmarks along the way D．the distance between the landmarks 2．What kind of route should you suggest according to Paragraph 4? A．The simplest one. B．The shortest one. C．The one you like best. D．The one with more turns. 3．Why shouldn’t you rush while providing directions? A．It’s not polite to do that.

It is often said, “You can’t live only on air.” But now the Chinese scientists will tell you: Maybe you can. A team of Chinese scientists have developed a new technology. They turned CO₂, one of the main greenhouse gases, into starch (淀粉). Starch is the main part of flour, rice and corn that we eat every day. Usually, it’s created by plants with CO₂, water and sunlight. According to the team’s director Ma Yanhe, it takes the plants nearly 60 steps to produce starch. But now, the team, after six years of hard work, has found a simpler way to do this, with only 11 steps. “Our study shows that creating something like starch is possible in a lab, and this technology may be helpful in many areas,” said Ma. The scientists first turned CO₂ and hydrogen (氢气) into methanol (甲醇). Then they turned these small and simple methanol molecules (分子) into bigger and more complex ones. Finally, the starch was produced. This method makes it possible to produce food in factories, replacing traditional farming. This will not only help make plenty of food, but also save water and land. It may also help recycle CO₂ to deal with climate change, according to China Daily. The study can be helpful in space, too. Astronauts (宇航员) may no longer need to worry about their food as they travel in space. They may simply turn the CO₂ they breathe out into the food they eat! 1．What’s the main part of flour, rice and corn? A．Water. B．Starch. C．CO₂. D．Methanol. 2．What did the scientists do first to make starch? A．They recycled CO₂ in space. B．They produced rice and corn on the farm. C．They turned CO₂ and hydrogen into methanol. D．They made methanol molecules into bigger ones. 3．What does the underlined word “complex” mean in Chinese? A．轻盈的 B．单一的 C．复杂的 D．环保的 4．The technology may be helpful in the following areas EXCEPT ________. A．producing food B．putting sunlight to good use C．saving water and land D．dealing with climate change 5．According to the passage, which of the following is TRUE? A．It is possible to turn CO₂ into corn now. B．Producing starch in the lab needs more steps than before. C．The new technology can replace traditional farming. D．Astronauts may take advantage of the new technology. Do you like visiting parks? Have you heard of “20-minute for parks”? It says that just staying in a park for 20 minutes can make you feel better, no matter how you choose to spend the time. In the Douban interest group “We Love Strolling in the Park”, park lovers from both home and abroad share their park experiences, post photos and videos, and give park suggestions and reviews. A lady, Huang Bingbing from Shenzhen, began visiting a small park near her company after lunch over three years ago. “On the grass, I could connect with living plants and animals. It allowed me to refresh my mind and get away from the stress of work,” Huang explained. Huang believes that parks are private spaces. She considers herself an introverted (内向) person, and parks serve as the perfect recharging spots for introverts. She often spends time alone in parks, free from worrying about talking to people. Parks can also be used as public places. Cheng Yuyan, who started the Douban group, found something interesting during her visits to parks abroad. She noticed that a lot of park benches (长椅) were given by local people with the names of donors (捐赠者) on them. Moreover, many parks offered guidebooks about the history, geography, and the plants. Inspired by these practices, Cheng believes people can further deepen their connection with parks by developing a sense of ownership. She plans to encourage members of her Douban group to help take care of parks and make them better places for everyone. 1．The writer starts the passage by ________. A．raising questions B．telling stories C．giving facts D．listing numbers 2．Why does Huang Bingbing go to the park? A．To enjoy her lunch outdoors. B．To meet different people. C．To study plants and animals. D．To relax from her work. 3．The underlined part suggests that parks are perfect places for introverts to ________. A．give park reviews B．talk to people C．rest body and mind D．work outdoors 4．According to Paragraph 3, what caught Cheng Yuyan’s attention during her experiences abroad? ①Photos of the parks. ②Benches with donors’ names. ③Guidebooks about history. ④Videos from park lovers. A．①④ B．②③ C．①③ D．②④ 5．What is Cheng Yuyan’s plan? A．Sharing her park experiences. B．Encouraging people to care for parks. C．Setting up more Douban groups. D．Calling on people to visit parks abroad. 试卷第1页，共3页 试卷第1页，共3页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 题型04 阅读理解之说明文15篇 (深圳专用) 【题型知识点细目表】 题号 难度 知识点 1 适中 电影与戏剧,说明文 2 适中 环境保护,说明文 3 适中 电影与戏剧,说明文 4 适中 传统工艺,说明文 5 适中 青少年问题,说明文 6 适中 科学技术,说明文 7 适中 科普知识,说明文 8 适中 宠物,说明文 9 适中 发明与创造,科学技术,说明文 10 适中 发明与创造,科学技术,说明文 11 较易 游戏,发明与创造,说明文 12 适中 学习策略,方法/策略,说明文 13 较易 意见/建议,说明文 14 较易 发明与创造,科学技术,说明文 15 适中 景点/建筑,人与动植物,说明文 【中考真题】 A recent TV series To the Wonder has become China’s breakout TV hit of the year. It has also won praise at a film festival abroad. To the Wonder is based on the award-winning novel of Li Juan, My Altay, and is directed by Teng Congcong. It is very poetic and filled with beautiful wisdom. The TV drama follows the journey of Li Wenxiu. She once wished to leave Altay, an area in Northern Xinjiang. After failing to realize her dream in the capital of Xinjiang, Li has to move back to her hometown and tries to find a new direction for herself. At first, Li finds it hard to understand her neighbours’ traditional way of thinking. Under the influence of her mother Zhang Fengxia, Li starts to see the place and its people in a new light. Later, she comes to understand their lifestyle and respect for nature. Fans describe watching the drama as an experience in the wonderland. “It’s like breathing in fresh air or lying under the sun,” said one fan. “It is a unique drama, very different from the usual Chinese series. A must-watch if you want to discover the beauty of the grassland and life there,” another fan said. “People enjoy the wonderful view of Altay. But the key to the success of the series lies in its ability to connect with the viewers on a human level,” said Teng Congcong. “In the drama, everyone communicates sincerely. Even if I disagree with you, I sincerely respect you. In fact, this is a very important part of human nature—the love for truth, goodness and beauty.” 1．To the Wonder is the name of·________.

Because of too much fishing, almost 90 percent of the worldwide population of large fish—the ones we usually eat—has disappeared. If we don’t act, these animals will totally disappear. That will influence every animal in the ocean. The demand for fish is growing. Almost a billion people around the world get their protein (蛋白质) mostly from fish. Doctors praise seafood for being low in fat. But what seems like a healthy choice for humans is causing a disaster to our oceans. “People are consuming (消费) too much,” says Lance Morgan, a scientist at the Marine Conservation Biology Institute. A dish of tuna in restaurants costs more than just one animal's life. When fish like tuna disappear from the ecosystem (生态系统), the ocean’s food chain (链) breaks down. Animals such as sharks, which normally eat tuna, may die because they find no food. The news may be scary, but taking action from now on can prevent harm that hasn’t happened yet. World organizations are ordering countries to stop fishing too much. The Monterey Bay Aquarium gives seafood choices to anyone hoping to keep healthy without destroying the environment. “If you care about wildlife, first spend time and think about your own values and beliefs,” says Morgan. “Then decide what you’re going to eat.” 1．How does the writer start the text? A．By giving a fact. B．By asking a question. C．By telling a story. D．By using a saying. 2．What does the underlined word “demand” in Paragraph 2 probably mean? A．Wish. B．Support. C．Need. D．Price. 3．From Paragraph 3, we know that ________. A．if sharks die out, tuna will die out soon B．tuna will be more popular in restaurants C．tuna plays an important role in the ecosystem D．tuna disappeared because they found no food 4．What’s the purpose of the text? A．To tell people to stop polluting our oceans. B．To tell people to protect wildlife in oceans. C．To tell people to avoid eating too much seafood. D．To tell people to live a balanced and healthy life. 5．What does the last paragraph of the article explain ________. A．We need to care about wildlife B．We need to eat wild animals C．We need to reflect on our own values and beliefs D．We don’t want to protect wild animals 【答案】1．A 2．C 3．C 4．B 5．C 【导语】本文作者通过科学家10年对金枪鱼的研究数据，向读者说明由于人们对鱼类需求的增加，造成了海洋生态系统的破坏，呼吁人们保护海洋中的野生动物。 1．推理判断题。根据“After a 10-year project to count tuna and other large fish in the world’s oceans, scientists have made a very surprising discovery...”可知，作者根据科学家研究发现事实引入本文内容。故选A。 2．词句猜测题。根据划线单词所在句子后面内容“Almost a billion people around the world get their protein (蛋白质) mostly from fish. Doctors praise seafood for being low in fat.”可知，很多人从鱼肉中获取蛋白质，医生也称赞海洋食物低脂肪，推测出因此造成了对鱼类需求的增加。因此，demand意为“需求”，与need同义。故选C。 3．推理判断题。根据“When fish like tuna disappear from the ecosystem (生态系统), the ocean’s food chain (链) breaks down.”可知，金枪鱼在生态系统中起着重要作用。故选C。 4．推理判断题。根据“If we don’t act, these animals will totally disappear.”和“If you care about wildlife, first spend time and think about your own values and beliefs”可知，作者通过本文想要呼吁人们保护海洋中的野生动物。故选B。 5．细节理解题。根据“ ‘If you care about wildlife, first spend time and think about your own values and beliefs,’ says Morgan. ‘Then decide what you’re going to eat.’ ”可知，作者在最后一段表明了我们需要反思我们自己的价值观和信仰，故选C。 There’s no better way to start the holidays than with a holiday movie. The storylines of these movies are often silly and easy to understand. The characters are not reasonable enough. The plot moves too fast to be realistic. Even so, the happy endings make you feel good. And as it turns out, there are reasons behind the joy you get from watching them. Holiday movies are usually relaxing. Watching them is good for our physical health. According to a study published in 2020 in the book Nostalgia Now, holiday movies can lower stress hormones (荷尔蒙) and increase cardiovascular (心血管的) health because the movies are always full of fun. Holiday movies do more than just benefit our bodies. They can improve our mental (心理的) health as well. Courtney Cope, a scientist, once said, “When it comes to holiday movies, we know they are always going to work out in the most positive way. It’s a nice vacation from reality for our minds.” In fact, when we are watching these movies, we imagine ourselves living in a perfect world. Besides, holiday movies enable us to see things in a new way or feel encouraged to make a difference. We often see characters that we respect overcome all kinds of difficulties. The movies serve as a reminder that even in the worst of times, there is always hope. Moreover, most holiday movies are family-friendly. When we watch them with others, we create shared memories and strengthen relationships. The laughter and joking about an unrealistic movie create a positive bonding experience, which makes us feel closer and “at home” for the holidays. The shared memories and experiences make the holidays more meaningful. 1．What can we learn about holiday movies from paragraph 1? A．They tell realistic stories. B．The characters are clever. C．They have happy endings. D．The storylines are hard to follow. 2．Why does the writer mention the study in paragraph 2? A．To bring up a new idea. B．To compare different facts. C．To call for further studies. D．To provide scientific support. 3．What can we infer from Courtney Cope’s words? A．People enjoy going on vacation with family. B．The characters in the movies are role models. C．Our minds like the relaxing break from reality. D．Holiday movies remind us of the difficult times. 4．What does the underlined word “bonding” in paragraph 5 probably mean? A．Working. B．Waiting. C．Learning. D．Connecting. 5．Which of the following best shows the structure of the text? (P=Paragraph) A．B．C． D． 【答案】1．C 2．D 3．C 4．D 5．A 【导语】本文主要介绍了假日电影的特点及其带来的多方面益处，包括放松身心、改善心理健康、提供新视角与鼓励以及增进家庭关系等。 1．细节理解题。根据“Even so, the happy endings make you feel good.”可知，假日电影通常有快乐的结局。故选C。 2．推理判断题。根据“According to a study published in 2020 in the book Nostalgia Now, holiday movies can lower stress hormones (荷尔蒙) and increase cardiovascular (心血管的) health because the movies are always full of fun.”可知，作者提到这本书中的研究，是为了提供科学依据来支持假日电影对身体健康有益的观点。故选D。 3．推理判断题。根据“Courtney Cope, a scientist, once said, ‘When it comes to holiday movies, we know they are always going to work out in the most positive way. It’s a nice vacation from reality for our minds.’”可知，Courtney Cope认为假日电影总是以最积极的方式呈现，为我们的思想提供了一个逃离现实的愉快假期。由此可推知，我们的大脑喜欢这种从现实中放松下来的休息。故选C。 4．词句猜测题。根据“When we watch them with others, we create shared memories and strengthen relationships.”可知，当我们和别人一起看假日电影时，我们会创造共同的回忆并加强关系。再结合“The laughter and joking about an unrealistic movie create a positive bonding experience”可推知，对一部不切实际的电影的欢笑和玩笑创造了一种积极的连接体验，使得我们感觉更亲近，就像在家一样。所以“bonding”的意思是“连接”，与“Connecting”意思相近。故选D。 5．篇章结构题。通读全文可知，第一段介绍了假日电影的特点；第二段到第五段分别从身体健康、心理健康、提供新视角与鼓励以及增进家庭关系等方面阐述了假日电影的益处。由此可推知，文章结构是总分结构。故选A。 【热点话题练习】 Zigong, a city in Sichuan Province, is known as the home of Chinese lanterns. These lanterns are even called “the best lanterns in the world”. The history of Chinese lanterns goes back over 2,000 years to the Western Han Dynasty. At first, people made simple lanterns with bamboo and paper for lighting. Later, they hung lanterns during festivals to make a happy atmosphere. By the Tang Dynasty, the Zigong Lantern Festival started. At that time, lanterns became more beautiful—people painted flowers, birds and stories on them. As time went on, Zigong lanterns developed by mixing traditional culture with modern technologies. In 2008, the Zigong Lantern Festival was listed as a national intangible cultural heritage (国家级非物质文化遗产). Today, it has become a famous symbol of Chinese culture to be known around the world. Wan Songtao, an inheritor (继承人) of Zigong lantern-making, said making a big exhibition lantern requires 17 steps, and each step needs teamwork. For example, a sundial-shaped (日晷) lantern made by his team took 80 makers more than 50 days to finish. Unlike lanterns in other places, Zigong’s use modern tech like AI. They connect lights, sounds and movements very well. What’s more, the theme of the lantern can be chosen in different ways. Zhang Fanglai from the Colorful Lantern Museum of China said any design can be made into lanterns, and people are encouraged to turn their ideas into real works. The rich themes of the lanterns show locals’ creativity and warmth. The government encourages people to learn lantern-making. Without doubt, the heart of the Zigong Lantern Festival’s success is the local tradition of working together. So far, Zigong lanterns have reached over 80 countries. It’s believed they will go to every corner of the world in the future. 1．When did the Zigong Lantern Festival begin? A．Over 2000 years ago. B．In the Song Dynasty. C．In the Tang Dynasty.

Without these skills, forming meaningful relationships can be challenging. In recent years, Chinese social media has seen growing discussions about socialization. Many young people express worry over what they see as their own “lack of socialization.” Using this term, they describe feelings of embarrassment and uncertainty in social situations. One major reason often mentioned is exam-focused education, which is believed to lead students to value grades over everything else. As a result, many young adults feel unprepared for real-world social situations. Some even feel like children “pretending to be adults,” struggling to deal with a complex social environment. Yan Yunxiang, a social science expert, has introduced the concept of “extended youth”, suggesting that many people today choose to delay taking on adult roles due to related burdens and risks. This “refusal to grow up” deepens the feelings of social inadequacy, which makes young people feel less confident in fitting into the real world. Researchers also point to digital communication as another possible reason. Younger generations spend more time interacting through screens rather than in person. While online interaction has its place, it cannot fully replace face-to-face contact. A well-known study by Albert Mehrabian has found that 7% of communication is based on words, 38% through tone and voice, and 55% through body language. That means when we communicate through calls or texts, we may not fully understand others. The good news is that it’s never too late to improve your social skills. Make a conscious effort to join in more real-world conversations and practice active listening. Through regular interaction, you can level up skills such as reading nonverbal (非言语的) clues and guiding a conversation smoothly. These experiences can help you better understand the unwritten rules of socializing. 1．According to paragraph 1, which situation shows a “lack of socialization”? A．Feeling proud when praised by others. B．Feeling excited when meeting friends. C．Feeling afraid when talking to strangers. D．Feeling regretful when making mistakes. 2．What is one main reason for young people’s social anxiety? A．The burdens and risks of modern adult life. B．A negative attitude to forming relationships. C．An education system that overvalues results. D．The difficulty in keeping in touch with others. 3．What does “inadequacy” probably mean in paragraph 3? A．Inability. B．Hesitation. C．Loneliness. D．Impatience. 4．What does Albert Mehrabian’s study show? A．Telephone calls can replace text- based messages. B．Much information is missing in online interaction. C．Tone of voice is more effective than body language. D．The words we use are not so important for meaning. 5．What is the author’s attitude towards a “lack of socialization”? A．It is difficult to improve social skills after childhood. B．It is important to reduce unwritten rules in social life. C．It is common in society and will be changed naturally. D．It is manageable and can be improved through practice. 【答案】1．C 2．C 3．A 4．B 5．D 【导语】本文讲述了年轻人因多种原因觉得  社交不足，但提升社交技能永远为时不晚。 1．细节理解题。根据“Using this term, they describe feelings of embarrassment and uncertainty in social situations.”可知，年轻人用“缺乏社会化”描述社交中的尴尬和不确定感。故选C。 2．细节理解题。根据“One major reason often mentioned is exam-focused education, which is believed to lead students to value grades over everything else.”可知，“应试教育”为主因，指出其导致学生只重视成绩而忽视其他。故选C。 3．词句猜测题。根据“This ‘refusal to grow up’ deepens the feelings of social inadequacy, which makes young people feel less confident in fitting into the real world.”可知，这种“拒绝成长”加深了他们对社会的不适应感，使年轻人对融入现实世界缺乏信心，inadequacy指“能力不足或无能”，与“Inability”同义。故选A。 4．细节理解题。根据“A well-known study by Albert Mehrabian has found that 7% of communication is based on words…That means when we communicate through calls or texts, we may not fully understand others.”可知，线上互动会缺失大量沟通信息。故选B。 5．观点态度题。根据“The good news is that it’s never too late to improve your social skills...you can level up skills”可知，作者认为社交技能不足是可以通过练习改善的。故选D。 In the dry deserts in northwest China, something amazing is happening. Land that was once covered in sand and almost lifeless now has rows of shiny black solar panels (太阳能板) stretching as far as the eye can see. These are not just solar panels—they are part of China’s plan to turn deserts into energy factories. In Inner Mongolia, a project called the Solar Great Wall covers a large area of desert. It aims to produce enough electricity to light up several major cities in eastern China by 2030. But these panels turn out to do more than producing power. The shadow they provide has slowed down water evaporation, allowing plants like grass to grow in the desert. Over the past five years, the area that was 98% sand now has up to 80% plant coverage. This not only stops sandstorms but also creates habitats for animals like goats and birds. Meanwhile, in the high mountains of Qinghai, herders (牧民) also benefit from solar panels. Standing 1.2 metres high, they act like huge umbrellas. The shadow they provide protects the sheep from the burning heat in summer, while the space under the panels grows fresh grass. This harmonious mixture of traditional herding and modern technology allows herders to sell wool and electricity as well, with many nearly doubling their income. This success is not just local. Chinese companies are sharing their ideas worldwide. In Argentina, a solar farm built with China’s help now provides power for 100,000 homes and brings in money for local farmers. In Saudi Arabia, plans are in progress to build solar farms in deserts using methods developed in China. Even African nations like Namibia are practicing Chinese solar technology to reduce their dependence on fossil fuels like coal and oil. From deserts to farms, China’s solar revolution offers a possibility of sustainable (可持续的) development. As the sun sets over the Gobi Desert, the panels continue their quiet work—a reminder that the future of energy might just be written in sunlight and sand. 1．How does the author introduce the topic? A．By telling a story. B．By giving a definition. C．By listing numbers. D．By describing a scene. 2．What is the purpose of the Solar Great Wall? A．Covering the desert. B．Producing green energy. C．Reducing water loss. D．Protecting desert animals. 3．What has been achieved by using solar panels in Qinghai? A．Herders there have earned more money than before. B．Grass under the panels has grown to 1.2 metres high. C．The sheep have got more sunshine in high mountains. D．The production of wool has nearly doubled in the area. 4．Why does the author mention China’s help to other countries in paragraph 4? A．To criticize the use of fossil fuels worldwide. B．To doubt the effectiveness of the local success. C．To show the technology’s use around the world. D．To admit the common efforts by other countries. 5．Which is the best title for the article? A．Turning deserts into green forests. B．Fighting sandstorms with sunlight. C．Solar revolution: experience of China. D．Sunlight and sand: stories of the desert. 【答案】1．D 2．B 3．A 4．C 5．C 【导语】本文主要讲述了中国在沙漠中利用太阳能板进行能源生产，不仅在国内取得了成功，还向世界分享经验，中国的太阳能革命为可持续发展提供了可能性。 1．推理判断题。根据“In the dry deserts in northwest China, something amazing is happening. Land that was once covered in sand and almost lifeless now has rows of shiny black solar panels (太阳能板) stretching as far as the eye can see.”可知，作者通过描述中国西北干燥沙漠中，曾经满是沙子几乎毫无生机的土地上如今布满了太阳能板的场景来引入话题。故选D。 2．细节理解题。根据“In Inner Mongolia, a project called the Solar Great Wall covers a large area of desert. It aims to produce enough electricity to light up several major cities in eastern China by 2030.”可知，太阳能长城项目的目的是生产足够的电力，即为生产绿色能源。故选B。 3．细节理解题。根据“Meanwhile, in the high mountains of Qinghai, herders (牧民) also benefit from solar panels...This harmonious mixture of traditional herding and modern technology allows herders to sell wool and electricity as well, with many nearly doubling their income.”可知，在青海使用太阳能板让牧民们能够同时售卖羊毛和电力，很多人收入几乎翻倍，也就是赚了比以前更多的钱。故选A。 4．细节理解题。根据“This success is not just local. Chinese companies are sharing their ideas worldwide. In Argentina...In Saudi Arabia...Even African nations like Namibia...”可知，作者提到中国对其他国家的帮助是为了展示中国的太阳能技术在世界各地的应用。故选C。 5．最佳标题题。文章主要讲述了中国在沙漠中利用太阳能板进行能源生产，不仅在国内取得了成功，还向世界分享经验，中国的太阳能革命为可持续发展提供了可能性，所以“Solar revolution: experience of China”（太阳能革命：中国的经验）作为标题最合适。故选C。 For centuries, sailors have told amazing stories of “milky seas”. Imagine sailing at night when suddenly the entire ocean turns bright white. It produces a steady light and glows like a field of heavy snow. It is so large that it can be seen even from space! Sailors also report that the ocean becomes strangely calm during these events. For a long time, it was a mystery between myth and science. It is so rare that there is only one known photograph of it, taken in 2019. Now, by creating a database from old sailor reports and modern satellite pictures, scientists have become detectives and managed to study the situation. Scientists believe the primary source of the light is billions of tiny bacteria in the water. This is different from the quick and sudden bright light of plankton (浮游生物). According to their study, the glowing bacteria might live with a type of algae (藻类) that creates calming slime (黏液) on the surface of water. Their detective work also discovered other fascinating details. For example, milky seas are not just small patches of light. They can be very huge, sometimes covering an area larger than a state. Besides, their appearance may be connected to climate patterns like La Niña, which bring nutrient-rich waters to the surface, feeding the bacteria. Yet, for all its beauty, this impressive scene might hold a darker meaning. The bacteria thought to cause milky seas is also a known “killer” of some fish. As the scientists note, if these milky seas become more common, it could be a very clear warning sign from the ocean itself. 1．What is the ocean like when there is a milky sea? A．The water suddenly becomes cooler. B．The water is unusually thick and still. C．The water changes into ice overnight. D．The water becomes very clear quickly. 2．Why was it so difficult for scientists to study milky seas directly? A．The glowing area was dangerous to come close. B．Satellites couldn’t take clear pictures of the ocean. C．They were believed to be myths made up by sailors. D．The events were very uncommon and unpredictable. 3．Where does the light in a milky sea come from? A．Calming slime. B．Glowing algae. C．Glowing bacteria. D．Shining plankton. 4．What is this article mainly about? A．A mysterious event in the ocean. B．A discovery of deep-sea creatures. C．A situation causing climate change. D．Sea pollution resulting from sailing. 5．In which column can you read the article? A．Food and health. B．Travel and adventure. C．Legends and myths. D．Science and technology. 【答案】1．B 2．D 3．C 4．A 5．D 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲述了海洋中罕见的“乳白色海洋”现象，包括其成因、科学研究和潜在的环境影响。 1．细节理解题。根据“It produces a steady light and glows like a field of heavy snow…Sailors also report that the ocean becomes strangely calm during these events.”可知，乳白色海洋出现时，海水会变得异常平静且浓稠。故选B。 2．细节理解题。根据“For a long time, it was a mystery between myth and science. It is so rare that there is only one known photograph of it, taken in 2019.”可推知，乳白色海洋事件非常罕见且难以预测。故选D。 3．细节理解题。根据“Scientists believe the primary source of the light is billions of tiny bacteria in the water.”可知，乳白色海洋的光来自发光细菌。故选C。 4．主旨大意题。通读全文可知，全文围绕“乳白色海洋”这一神秘现象展开，包括其成因、科学研究和潜在影响。故选A。 5．推理判断题。通读全文可知，文章内容涉及科学研究和自然现象，最可能出现在“科学与技术”栏目。故选D。 Though among the most popular pets, house cats remain mysterious (神秘的) to many. While we know exactly when they’re hungry, it is often unclear what they pay attention to at other times. Now, researchers have found that these independent animals can learn the names of other cats they live with. Some might even connect their human friends’ faces with their names. The researchers examined the actions of cats living in homes with at least two cats, and compared them with cats living in cat cafes (咖啡馆). In the test, each cat was shown a photo of a cat they knew on a screen while a recorded voice played correct and incorrect names. When the name did not match the cat they were looking at, the house cats would fix their eyes on it longer and tilt (倾斜) their heads, as if thinking. “Is this certain to be my friend’s name?” However, cats living in cat cafes did not act the same way. The researchers suggest that this is because cafe cats are called by a number of names by different visitors. As a result, they have less chance to hear one exact name repeated over and over again, making it harder for them to learn it properly. The researchers also wondered whether cats can learn human names. The results were less clear than with cat names, but a pattern appeared: Cats that had lived with a larger family of humans for a longer time seemed better at connecting human faces with names. Unless we can invent a machine that truly understands animals’ thoughts, it’s impossible to know for sure what is going on in a cat’s mind. But this study shows that through everyday family life, cats do seem to remember which name goes with which person. This finding proves our pet cats are really quite smart——they learn far more from living with us than we often realize. 1．What can we learn about cats from paragraph 1? A．They depend on humans too much. B．They are the most mysterious pets. C．They can learn other cats’ names. D．They are easy to get hungry. 2．What happened during the test when a wrong name was called? A．House cats watched the screen longer. B．Cats tried to call the right name. C．The cafe cats acted more strongly. D．House cats stopped tilting their heads. 3．Why didn’t the cafe cats act the same as the house cats? A．They weren’t as smart as house cats. B．They didn’t live with a large family. C．The visitors were not their owners. D．They heard different names from people. 4．What can we infer (推断) from the research? A．Cats’ name-learning has nothing to do with family size. B．Cats may need time and daily life to learn human names. C．Cats remember human names as clearly as their own names. D．Scientists surely understand cats’ brain when learning names. 5．How does the writer mainly develop the text? A．By telling stories. B．By giving examples. C．By listing numbers. D．By making comparisons. 【答案】1．C 2．A 3．D 4．B 5．D 【导语】本文主要介绍了关于家猫能够学习其他猫咪名字以及可能将人类面孔与名字联系起来的研究发现。 1．细节理解题。根据第一段“Now, researchers have found that these independent animals can learn the names of other cats they live with.”可知，家猫可以学习和它们一起生活的其他猫的名字。故选 C。 2．细节理解题。根据第二段“In the test, each cat was shown a photo of a cat they knew on a screen while a recorded voice played correct and incorrect names. When the name did not match the cat they were looking at, the house cats would fix their eyes on it longer and tilt (倾斜) their heads, as if thinking. ‘Is this certain to be my friend’s name?’.”可知，当叫错名字时，家猫会更长时间地盯着屏幕。故选A。 3．细节理解题。根据第三段“The researchers suggest that this is because cafe cats are called by a number of names by different visitors.”可知，咖啡馆的猫因为会被不同访客叫不同名字，所以和家猫表现不同。故选D。 4．推理判断题。根据第四段“Cats that had lived with a larger family of humans for a longer time seemed better at connecting human faces with names.”可推断，猫可能需要时间和日常生活来学习人类的名字。故选B。 5．推理判断题。文章通过对比家猫和咖啡馆的猫在实验中的不同表现，以及不同家庭环境下猫对人类名字的学习情况来展开内容，主要是通过作比较的方式行文。故选D。 On August 14, 2025, Beijing held the world’s first Humanoid Robot Games (人形机器人比赛). The event took place at the National Speed Skating Oval. Over 500 robots from 16 countries formed 280 teams. The three-day competitions had three fun parts—sports, performance shows and daily tasks. In sports events, robots joined running races, high jump and soccer. The most exciting part was a 5v5 soccer game where the robots could make decisions all by themselves without human help. For performance shows, robots danced in groups and did cool kung fu. 60 small robots even wore colorful Chinese opera clothes to put on a wonderful show that made everyone cheer. In daily task tests, robots finished jobs like cleaning hotel rooms in 20 minutes or putting hospital medicines in order. Besides, teams from top universities (such as Tsinghua University and Peking University) and companies took part. They joined teams from other countries. A Chinese official said every robot was “making history”. Sometimes robots stumbled while performing, but the event’s goal was to make technology better through real practice. He said, “We allow robots to fall or even make mistakes sometimes. Letting robots fall 100 times on the field is better than 1,000 tests in the lab (实验室).” This special event not only shows that China has made great progress in AI robot technology but also lets us see a bright future where humans and machines work together happily to make life better. 1．What did the robots do in the competitions according to Paragraph 2? ① ② ③ ④ A．①②③ B．②③④ C．①②④ D．①③④ 2．What does the underlined word “stumbled” probably mean in Paragraph 3?

But a company in France is trying to make it easier. The company is called CETIA．It built two machines that use artificial intelligence (AI) (人工智能) to help recycle clothes and shoes. With AI technology, one machine can find and cut off zippers and buttons (拉链和纽扣) on clothes, while the other machine can pull off soles (鞋底) from shoes easily. This sounds simple, but no one has ever done it before. “No one was recycling soles because it was hard to separate (分离) them from shoes,” said Chloe Salmon Legagneur, director of CETIA．People had to put the shoes on an oven to melt (熔化) the glue and pull off the soles by hand. But CETIA’s machine can do it much more easily. Some clothes can be recycled into materials for houses or roads. But most clothes do not become new clothes again. That’s because clothes have different materials that must be separated carefully by hand. That usually takes a long time and is expensive. But CETIA’s machine can do the separation faster and better than people. It can even separate clothes by color and material, making it easier to recycle them into new clothes. Recycling clothes and shoes is important because it reduces waste and can even create new jobs. CETIA is doing amazing work by developing those recycling machines. They’re showing us that with smart thinking, we can find ways to solve big problems. 1．What is CETIA? A．A clothing store. B．A cleaning business. C．A technology company. D．An environmental organization. 2．What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 3 refer to? A．Pulling off soles from shoes. B．Separating clothes by color and material. C．Cutting off zippers and buttons on clothes. D．Putting the shoes on an oven to melt the glue. 3．What does the writer think about the two machines? A．He finds them amazing. B．He thinks they’re helpless. C．He believes they need improvement. D．He worries about their future. 4．Which of the following shows the structure of the passage? (①= Paragraph 1, ②= Paragraph 2…) A．①/②③/④⑤ B．①/②③/④/⑤ C．①/②/③④⑤ D．①/②/③④/⑤ 5．The writer wrote the passage to ________. A．explain the importance of recycling B．introduce a company and its inventions C．call for people to protect the environment D．make a report on a company’s achievements 【答案】1．C 2．A 3．A 4．D 5．B 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了法国一家名为CETIA的科技公司，该公司开发了两台利用人工智能技术帮助回收衣物和鞋子的机器，解决了衣物回收中的难题，展现了智能思考在解决大问题上的潜力。 1．细节理解题。根据文章第一段“But a company in France is trying to make it easier.”以及第二段“The company is called CETIA. It built two machines that use artificial intelligence (AI) (人工智能) to help recycle clothes and shoes.”可知，CETIA是一家开发了利用人工智能回收衣物和鞋子机器的公司，由此可推断它是一家科技公司。故选C。 2．词句猜测题。根据文章第三段“People had to put the shoes on an oven to melt (熔化) the glue and pull off the soles by hand. But CETIA’s machine can do it much more easily.”可知，人们过去需要手工从鞋子上取下鞋底，而CETIA的机器可以更容易地做到这一点，因此“it”指代的是“从鞋子上取下鞋底”这一动作。故选A。 3．推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“CETIA is doing amazing work by developing those recycling machines. They’re showing us that with smart thinking, we can find ways to solve big problems.”可知，作者认为CETIA开发的这两台机器令人惊叹，它们展示了智能思考在解决大问题上的潜力。故选A。 4．篇章结构题。文章第一段引出衣物回收面临的挑战以及法国一家公司试图解决这一问题；第二段介绍这家公司CETIA以及它开发的两台机器；第三、四段详细介绍这两台机器如何工作以及它们在衣物回收中的优势；第五段总结全文，强调CETIA的工作的重要性以及智能思考的力量。因此，文章的结构为①/②/③④/⑤。故选D。 5．主旨大意题。文章主要介绍了法国一家名为CETIA的科技公司及其开发的两台利用人工智能技术帮助回收衣物和鞋子的机器，因此作者写这篇文章的目的是介绍这家公司及其发明。故选B。 Do you know the Rubik’s Cube? It’s a fun toy that people all over the world love to play with! A man named Emo Rubik in Budapest, Hungary created the first one in 1974. Now, over 50 years later, the Rubik’s Cube is still the best-selling toy ever! Rubik’s first design (设计) included 27 smaller cubes. They formed six sides with six colors. To solve the Rubik’s Cube, you must twist the cube so that each side shows only one color. Sounds simple? It’s not! There are millions of ways to mix the colors, but there’s only one solution. At first, Rubik named his new toy the Magic Cube. He started selling it at toy stores in Hungary. In 1980, a toy company changed its name to the Rubik’s Cube. Later, it quickly became a huge success around the world. It took Rubik about a month to solve his own cube for the first time. But people wanted to solve it faster. In 1982, the first Rubik’s Cube World Championship took place. A 16-year-old named Minh Thai won in 22.95 seconds. Over time, people got faster and faster. In 2015, Lucas Etter solved it in under 5 seconds. In 2023, Max Park set a new record in just 3.13 seconds! People also came up with fun ways to solve the Rubik’s Cube, like using smaller or larger cubes, wearing blindfolds (蒙眼布), using their feet, or even solving it while underwater or juggling (玩抛接杂耍)! The Rubik’s Cube is more than just a toy. It’s now part of world culture. It appears in films, TV shows, and even the hands of world leaders. Jessica Fridrich, who wrote about ways to solve the Rubik’s Cube, had a message for the Rubik’s Cube. “Thank you for bringing joy to humans,” she said. “May you live forever!” 1．What do we know about the first Rubik’s Cube?

Or do you actually forget all of the information you wrote down after class? A useful note-taking method (方法) can not only save your time, but also help you better understand what you have learned. This well-known note-taking method is called the Cornell Note-taking System which was first developed by Walter Pauk at Cornell University. According to Cornell Notes, each page is divided into several parts: the note-taking column (栏), the cue (提示) column and the summary (总结) space. The biggest note-taking column is used to write down notes while you are in class or reading an article. The key point is that you don’t write down what you hear word by word. What you write down needs to be very brief. You can use symbols or keywords instead of long sentences. You can write some questions in the cue column. The next step is to cover the note-taking column with a piece of paper. Then, by only looking at the questions about key words, try to repeat in your own words. The summary space is to help you look back on what you’ve learned. Questions may also be useful. For example, what’s the meaning of these facts? You can also write down your own ideas and personal feelings. Don’t forget to review from time to time so that you will remember the information more easily. After a few months of using this handy note-taking method, you’ll finally be able to remember what you have learned. 1．Which problem can the note-taking method help with? A．You don’t have patience with learning. B．You don’t get good grades in exams. C．You can’t remember what you’ve learned. D．You can’t pay attention to teachers in class. 2．How many parts does a page of Cornell Notes include? A．1. B．2. C．3. D．4. 3．What does the underlined word “brief” mean in paragraph 3? A．Creative and tidy. B．Short and clear. C．Natural and short. D．Clear and useful. 4．How can you use the cue column? A．By writing down some questions about keywords. B．By writing down what the teacher said word by word. C．By writing down notes while reading and listening. D．By writing down your own ideas and personal feelings. 5．Which of the following can be the best title for the passage?

Giving directions, though, is harder than just telling someone how to get to a certain location. Let’s learn how to guide others better. First, instead of directing a person from beginning to end, think of it as directing him from landmark (地标) to landmark. And mention important and hard-to-miss landmarks. These will give the person an idea of the progress he’s making and also let the person know if he’s still on the path you advised him to take. If you can’t describe the route (路线) clearly in words, draw a map. A map allows the person to imagine where he’s going. You can also include details, such as the location of landmarks, on your map. Also, the map can give the person something to hold on to so he won’t forget your directions. Although it might be convenient to give someone directions to your favourite shortcut (近路), it could do more harm than good. Instead, give the simplest directions. This will reduce the risk of the person getting lost. When considering the simplest route, choose routes with fewer turns, even if the person takes a bit longer, or pick routes where the person can stay on one road for a long time. Avoid suggesting routes you haven’t personally taken. Finally, don’t rush when giving directions. Take time to explain important details, such as possible dangers. If you don’t speak slowly or clearly, the person may miss an important piece of information. At the same time, avoid using words, phrases, or names that only locals know. Any example you use should be recognisable (可辨认的) to someone from outside your community. 1．John must mention ________ when using landmarks to guide others. A．the colour of each landmark B．the time of arrival at the place C．the main landmarks along the way D．the distance between the landmarks 2．What kind of route should you suggest according to Paragraph 4? A．The simplest one. B．The shortest one. C．The one you like best. D．The one with more turns. 3．Why shouldn’t you rush while providing directions? A．It’s not polite to do that. B．It’s dangerous to do that. C．You must explain every detail. D．That can lead to unclear directions. 4．Which of the following should not be used when you guide a stranger? A．Drive north on Renmin Road. B．Turn right after Joe’s old house. C．Turn left at the first traffic light. D．Go straight until you see a McDonald’s. 5．In which part of a magazine can we probably read the passage? A．Travel. B．Health. C．Culture. D．Education. 【答案】1．C 2．A 3．D 4．B 5．A 【导语】本文主要介绍了如何更好地给他人指引方向，包括使用地标、画地图、选择简单路线、避免使用本地化术语等实用建议。 1．细节理解题。根据“And mention important and hard-to-miss landmarks ... still on the path you advised him to take.”可知，使用地标指引时应提及沿途的主要地标，以帮助对方确认进度和路线正确性。故选C。 2．细节理解题。根据“Instead, give the simplest directions. This will reduce the risk of the person getting lost.”可知，应建议最简单的路线，以减少迷路风险。故选A。 3．细节理解题。根据“don’t rush when giving directions ... If you don’t speak slowly or clearly, the person may miss an important piece of information.”可知，匆忙指路会导致指引不清晰，从而影响对方理解。故选D。 4．推理判断题。根据“avoid using words, phrases, or names that only locals know”可知，避免使用只有本地人知道的词语、短语或名称。故选B。 5．推理判断题。文章主题为指路技巧，涉及旅行中的实用技能，因此可能出现在杂志的“旅行”板块。故选A。 It is often said, “You can’t live only on air.” But now the Chinese scientists will tell you: Maybe you can. A team of Chinese scientists have developed a new technology. They turned CO₂, one of the main greenhouse gases, into starch (淀粉). Starch is the main part of flour, rice and corn that we eat every day. Usually, it’s created by plants with CO₂, water and sunlight. According to the team’s director Ma Yanhe, it takes the plants nearly 60 steps to produce starch. But now, the team, after six years of hard work, has found a simpler way to do this, with only 11 steps. “Our study shows that creating something like starch is possible in a lab, and this technology may be helpful in many areas,” said Ma. The scientists first turned CO₂ and hydrogen (氢气) into methanol (甲醇). Then they turned these small and simple methanol molecules (分子) into bigger and more complex ones. Finally, the starch was produced. This method makes it possible to produce food in factories, replacing traditional farming. This will not only help make plenty of food, but also save water and land. It may also help recycle CO₂ to deal with climate change, according to China Daily. The study can be helpful in space, too. Astronauts (宇航员) may no longer need to worry about their food as they travel in space. They may simply turn the CO₂ they breathe out into the food they eat! 1．What’s the main part of flour, rice and corn? A．Water. B．Starch. C．CO₂. D．Methanol. 2．What did the scientists do first to make starch? A．They recycled CO₂ in space. B．They produced rice and corn on the farm. C．They turned CO₂ and hydrogen into methanol. D．They made methanol molecules into bigger ones. 3．What does the underlined word “complex” mean in Chinese? A．轻盈的 B．单一的 C．复杂的 D．环保的 4．The technology may be helpful in the following areas EXCEPT ________. A．producing food B．putting sunlight to good use C．saving water and land D．dealing with climate change 5．According to the passage, which of the following is TRUE? A．It is possible to turn CO₂ into corn now. B．Producing starch in the lab needs more steps than before. C．The new technology can replace traditional farming. D．Astronauts may take advantage of the new technology. 【答案】1．B 2．C 3．C 4．B 5．D 【导语】本文介绍了中国科学家将二氧化碳转化为淀粉，该技术有助粮食生产、环保及太空应用。 1．细节理解题。根据文中明确提到“Starch is the main part of flour, rice and corn that we eat every day”，即淀粉是面粉、大米、玉米的主要成分。故选B。 2．细节理解题。根据文中说明科学家制作淀粉的第一步是“The scientists first turned CO₂ and hydrogen into methanol”，即先将二氧化碳和氢气转化为甲醇。故选C。 3．词句猜测题。“complex”前的“more”与前文“small and simple”（小且简单）形成对比，因此意为“复杂的”。故选C。 4．细节理解题。根据文中提到该技术的作用包括“produce food、save water and land、deal with climate change”，但未提及“利用阳光”（这是植物自然产淀粉的条件）。故选B。 5．细节理解题。根据文中提到“Astronauts may no longer need to worry about their food”，即宇航员可利用该技术。故选D。 Do you like visiting parks? Have you heard of “20-minute for parks”? It says that just staying in a park for 20 minutes can make you feel better, no matter how you choose to spend the time. In the Douban interest group “We Love Strolling in the Park”, park lovers from both home and abroad share their park experiences, post photos and videos, and give park suggestions and reviews. A lady, Huang Bingbing from Shenzhen, began visiting a small park near her company after lunch over three years ago. “On the grass, I could connect with living plants and animals. It allowed me to refresh my mind and get away from the stress of work,” Huang explained. Huang believes that parks are private spaces. She considers herself an introverted (内向) person, and parks serve as the perfect recharging spots for introverts. She often spends time alone in parks, free from worrying about talking to people. Parks can also be used as public places. Cheng Yuyan, who started the Douban group, found something interesting during her visits to parks abroad. She noticed that a lot of park benches (长椅) were given by local people with the names of donors (捐赠者) on them. Moreover, many parks offered guidebooks about the history, geography, and the plants. Inspired by these practices, Cheng believes people can further deepen their connection with parks by developing a sense of ownership.
