It was difficult to leave behind my friends, but the most difficult thing was learning English. Over the last two years, I can understand most of the words my friends speak. But I was still often at a loss. And sometimes the words I speak sound quite different. I think it would be okay if I just had to learn to speak English. But I had to learn reading and writing. In English, one letter can make many different sounds. Take the letter C for example. If C is the first letter of a word like “cat”, its pronunciation is “k”。But when it is the first letter of a word like “center”, its pronunciation is “s”. And think about W. If it is the first letter of a word like “white”, its pronunciation is “w”. But when it’s the first letter of a word like “write”, it doesn’t make any sound. How can I remember all of these? Luckily, thanks to my teachers and classmates, I keep getting better. I’m sure someday I will speak English as well as them. 1．Who did Lin Bin go to America with? A．His classmates. B．His friends. C．His teachers. D．His families. 2．What do the underlined words “at a loss” in Paragraph 2 mean in Chinese? A．委屈 B．愤怒 C．后悔 D．困惑 3．As for speaking English, Lin Bin ________. A．keeps getting better B．doesn’t need others’ help C．thinks it’s interesting D．does best in his class 4．What does Lin Bin want to tell us in Paragraph 3?

A．living with an American family B．moving to a new school C．learning English D．making friends Yang Chen-Ning, a world-famous physicist and Nobel Prize winner, passed away in Beijing on October 18, 2025. He was a member of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and a professor at Tsinghua University. Tsinghua University wrote about his death and described him as “immortal (永垂不朽的人物)” for his influence on science and education will last forever. Born in 1922 in Hefei, Anhui Province, Yang moved to Beijing with his family in 1929. His university studies began at the National Southwestern Associated University in 1938, followed by a master’s degree (硕士学位) from Tsinghua University in 1944. The next year, he went to the United States for further study, receiving a PhD from the University of Chicago in 1948. The year 1957 saw Yang and his partner win the Nobel Prize in Physics. Their discovery about how very small particles (粒子) behave changed scientists’ understanding of particle physics. From 1949 to 1966, Yang worked at Princeton’s Institute for Advanced Study, then taught at the State University of New York until 1999. He returned to China often, serving as a visiting professor at the Chinese University of Hong Kong since 1986 and helping build Tsinghua’s advanced studies program. He cared deeply for his country, developing science education and exchange between China and the United States. His first visit to China in 1971 encouraged many overseas Chinese researchers to return. He also raised money to support Chinese students studying abroad. Yang’s life was a legend that continues to inspire. His century-long journey of exploration (探究) and love for his nation left a bright mark on human history, showing how one person can shape the future through knowledge and hard work. 1．How old was Yang when he died?

They left London two years ago, but they still can’t believe how much their life has changed. In London, they were successful. And they were very wealthy. They had a big apartment and two expensive cars. They used to spend a lot of money on clothes and vacations. They did all these things without thinking because they had lots of money. But did they enjoy their life? One day, Lisa was driving home. She suddenly realized (意识到) that it was always dark when she left home in the morning and dark when she left the office in the evening. She usually came home in a bad mood. And she used to work most weekends, too. Barry was too busy to have time for his hobbies—cooking and fishing. So both of them thought it was time to change. The Mosses sold their apartment and cars, found a house in a village and set up a small restaurant. “It’s perfect,” says Lisa. “We grow all the fruit and vegetables for the restaurant. Barry does the cooking and I love talking to customers. ” The Mosses still work hard, but their life now is quite different from that in London. “Though now we don’t make as much money as we did before.” laughs Barry, “we have time to do all the things we like.” Do they miss London? “We’re happy with fewer things! And in fact, we don’t think about London anymore!” says Lisa. 1．What made the Mosses decide to move to a village? A．Their hobbies. B．Their busy life. C．The beauty of the village. D．The idea of opening a restaurant. 2．In the village, the Mosses ________. A．work as cooks B．make a lot of money C．have a restaurant D．have to work most weekends 3．The underlined word “that” in Paragraph 4 refers to ________. A．the life the Mosses have in the village B．the life the Mosses used to have in London C．the small restaurant of Mosses set up D．the money the Mosses made in London 4．What do the Mosses think of their life in the village? A．Enjoyable. B．Boring. C．Exciting. D．Disappointing. 5．What could be the best title of this passage? A．London, An Unfriendly City B．Less Money, Less Time C．A Simple Life, A Dream Life D．Good Beginning, Bad Ending Some people see oysters (牡蛎) as delicious food. But some raise oysters to clean up the polluted seawater. Amy, a 15-year-old girl, is one of them. She has won a Master Oyster Gardener Prize this year. She thinks oysters are really helpful. They are environmental stars. “I knew nothing about oyster gardening when I started in 2022. I learned all of this after I finished a free course about it. The course is about raising oysters in cages,” Amy says. There used to be lots of oysters in coastal waters. But their numbers have diminished. This is mainly because of some natural disasters. Oyster gardening is a way to help. “Anyone can join,” an oyster gardening researcher Liz Black says. “You don’t have to do a lot to take care of your oysters, but the influence they have on the environment is huge,” Amy says. During the oyster gardening season, Amy and her mom go to the beach. There Amy has nine cages. “Once a week I go out there,” she says. She pulls the cages from the water to check conditions of the oysters. This spring, Amy’s oysters will be big enough to be collected. Amy will go with Liz to pick them up. Oysters that are collected will then be “planted” on the reefs (珊瑚礁). So far, Amy has raised more than 1,500 oysters. She’s a great leader of oyster gardening and a great supporter, too. 1．What does Amy think of oysters? A．Huge. B．Clean. C．Helpful. D．Delicious. 2．When did Amy get to know about raising oysters? A．After she joined a research team. B．After she won a master prize. C．After she attended a free course. D．After she cleaned up the seawater. 3．What does the underlined word “diminished” in Paragraph 3 probably mean? A．grown B．fallen C．divided D．remained 4．Why does Amy pull the cages out of water weekly? A．To feed the oysters. B．To mix the oysters. C．To check the oysters. D．To name the oysters. 5．What is the best title for the text? A．A Cage Maker B．A Master Prize C．An Oyster Festival D．An Oyster Gardener Recently, I attended the anniversary celebration of Confucius’ birth in Quzhou, Zhejiang. This event, which holds deep cultural and philosophical value, was an eye-opening experience into the heart of Chinese tradition and the enduring heritage of Confucianism (儒学). The city is home to the descendants (后代) of Confucius, with the 76th of his descendants taking part in the ancient procession (游行). The city plays a special role in keeping Confucius’ teachings alive, making it the perfect place for such a celebration. As I entered the beautifully protected temples, I was surprised at the worship with which this ancient person is still celebrated today. The air was filled with a sense of respect and ceremony. Many local experts and descendants of Confucius were dressed in traditional Chinese robes, showing the sense of continuity between past and present. A lot of ritual (仪式) performances and prayers were offered, connecting modern society with the ideals Confucius came up with over two thousand years ago. Beyond the ritual, there were many discussions by Confucian experts on how these ancient teachings are explained in the context of today’s society. I realized that Confucianism isn’t just a relic (遗物) of the past but remains a living philosophy, offering guidance on how to deal with the difficulties of modern life. What touched me most was how the old traditions connect with modernity in China. While the country is rapidly developing in technology and global influence, it still places great value on its historical roots. The Confucius anniversary celebrations were not just about honoring the past but also about protecting a philosophy that continues to enrich the present. My time in Quzhou reminded me that ▲ , traditions like Confucianism offer a sense of continuity and grounding. This experience was a deep reminder of the cultural depth of China, and how its people try to protect their rich cultural heritage while getting used to the fast-paced, modern world. As I left Quzhou, I carried with me a deeper understanding of Confucius’ lasting importance, not just for China, but for anyone looking for wisdom in a changing world. 1．Why was the anniversary celebration held in Quzhou? A．Because Confucius was born there. B．Because Confucius once lived there. C．Because many people respect Confucius there. D．Because many of Confucius’ descendants live there. 2．Which question can help readers know the main idea of Paragraph 3? A．How did Confucius come up with his ideas? B．What did they do to celebrate the anniversary? C．Who took part in the anniversary celebration? D．When did the anniversary celebration take place? 3．According to Paragraph 4, the writer agrees that Confucianism is ________. A．helpful but difficult B．ancient but helpful C．ordinary and ancient D．living and interesting 4．Which of the following can be put in the ▲ ? A．while change is certain B．unless the celebration is held C．if we follow Confucius’ ideas D．although Confucianism is meaningful 5．What is the writer’s main purpose in writing this passage? A．To introduce his journey into tradition. B．To share some information about Quzhou. C．To show the development of Chinese culture. D．To advise people to follow ancient teachings. Sayings are used every day. You may ask an unhappy friend why she’s “feeling blue”. If you’ve done only a small part of a big job, you might call it “a drop in the bucket (桶).” These sayings don’t mean exactly what the words say. But it’s easy to tell why we use them. Blue is a cool, quiet color. So it’s a good word for “sad”. A bucket holds too many drops of water to count. So just one drop is very little. Other sayings are more difficult to understand. When you are about to go to bed, you are going to “hit the hay (干草)”. This saying does not make much sense unless you know where it came from. It was first used in the 1930s. At that time, many Americans were out of work. Some went from place to place, looking for jobs. At night they were very tired. They often made a bed of hay in a field or barn (谷仓). As soon as their heads “hit the hay”, they fell asleep. Here is another saying. When you are sick, you might say you are “under the weather”. But why? This saying is more than 200 years old. It began in the days when many people went from place to place by boat. When storm winds rocked the boat, people often felt sick. The boat was sailing (航行) “under the weather”. Young kids may find old sayings like these hard to understand, and old people may also have difficulty understanding new sayings. That’s why a granny might not know what you mean by saying “give me five”. She might think you’re “off your rocker (发疯)”. 1．What does the saying “a drop in the bucket” mean according to the passage? A．Having a lot of water in a bucket. B．Completing a big job successfully. C．Doing a very small part of a big job. D．Filling a bucket with only one drop of water. 2．When did the saying “hit the hay” first come into use? A．In the 1930s. B．More than 200 years ago. C．When people started using boats for travel. D．When grannies began to learn new sayings. 3．What does the saying “under the weather” mean? A．Feeling sick. B．Sailing a boat in bad weather. C．Being outside on a rainy day. D．Working hard under difficult conditions. 4．Why might a granny not understand the saying “give me five”? A．Because it is a new saying. B．Because grannies never use their hands to greet others. C．Because grannies are not interested in learning new things. D．Because “give me five” had a different meaning in the past. 5．What is the main idea of the passage? A．To introduce the history of English. B．To tell readers how to create new English sayings. C．To compare old English sayings and new English sayings. D．To explain the meanings and origins of some English sayings. A video recently surprised Internet users: a kangaroo holding a plane ticket waited in line at an airport, only to be told by an airline worker that pets couldn’t board. With millions of likes, many shared it as real—until some experts told the truth that it was AI-generated (AI合成). This fun scene shows a key problem: “AI hallucination (幻觉),” which means when AI forms wrong but believable information. AI sometimes says things that aren’t true. That’s because it learns from tons of information, and when it doesn’t know something, it makes up answers based on the rules it has learned before. They might invent events, people, or data. For example, some AI has cited (引用) fake research papers from universities. While the kangaroo video is safe, such “hallucinations” can be dangerous. A lawyer once used AI to write made-up court cases (法案), causing professional troubles. In healthcare, AI could even give dangerous advice, misleading people who are finding online facts. To avoid being fooled, experts give some suggestions. Always check AI answers carefully with trusted materials like textbooks or official (官方的) websites. You can use fact-checking tools, and most importantly, stay questioning. Remember: AI doesn’t “think” like humans. If something seems strange—like a kangaroo at an airport—question it logically. In China, some new rules about AI-generated are made by the government to help people tell real from fake. As AI gets better and better, it’s very important to balance its good points and its risks. We can use AI well if we check information carefully and don’t just believe everything—and we should also watch out for its problems. 1．What made Internet users surprised recently? A．A kangaroo bought a plane ticket. B．An airport video of a kangaroo waiting in line. C．An airline worker allowed pets to board. D．Experts said videos online are AI-generated. 2．When AI isn’t sure about something, it says untrue things because ________. A．it makes people believe wrong information B．it cannot understand any human questions C．it uses what it has learned to make up answers D．it has learned too little information to answer 3．Which can be a dangerous AI “hallucination” example? A．The kangaroo video got many likes. B．AI made fake university papers for fun. C．A lawyer used AI’s made-up court cases. D．Students use AI to find online facts. 4．What does the underlined word “it” in paragraph 3 refer to? A．A fact-checking tool. B．A kangaroo. C．Advice from experts. D．Strange answer from AI. 5．What can we infer from the passage? A．People should believe AI answers online. B．Chinese online AI makes some strict rules. C．Humans can check AI with textbooks to avoid tricks. D．AI thinks like humans, so it makes similar mistakes. In recent years, the word “Xiexiu” has become popular on social media. The idea comes from Taoist (道教) culture, describing those who use wrong ways and give up moral codes (道德准则) to reach their goals. However, xiexiu has been used by young Chinese as a humorous way to challenge tradition. Social media videos with the “xiexiu” tag have already attracted more than 4 billion views. The trend began with food influencers (博主) testing out unconventional cooking methods they called xiexiu food. One influencer, named “Big Brother is Hungry”, cooked Cantonese-style char siu (叉烧) in Yakult (养乐多) and got more than 200,000 likes. Xiexiu practices soon spread beyond the kitchen. In fitness, young people now often use KTV to burn calories (卡路里) by singing high-energy songs and dancing—a “sing and sweat” activity. At work, some people share secret ways to rest, like hiding online novels on their computers, or listening to podcasts and watching short videos in the bathroom. Students joined in too. An art student said they wrote song lyrics on piano keys to memorize notes. Another student said they learned a perfect English accent by acting like a foreigner. Xiexiu practice isn’t really about teaching you how to cook, work or study, but it’s teaching you how to rethink. “Through xiexiu, I found that solving problems no longer feels like a chore. It has become a fun life try, and I am more positive now,” one influencer wrote. But as in classic Chinese martial arts tales (武侠小说), stepping onto the wrong path comes with risks. Some xiexiu food tries brought people stomachaches, and others got fired by bosses when they tried xiexiu practices at work. In conclusion, “xiexiu” doesn’t tell us to avoid tasks like cooking, working or studying, but to focus on improving our ways—especially creative ones. 1．What did “xiexiu” mean in the past? A．Follow moral codes strictly. B．Use wrong ways for goals. C．Humorous fight against convention. D．Popular social media tag. 2．What’s the meaning of the underlined word “unconventional”? A．Unusual. B．Uncomfortable. C．Uneasy. D．Unsafe. 3．What did the man called “Big Brother is Hungry” do? A．Sell char siu online. B．Use milk for char siu. C．Cook Sichuan-style char siu. D．Make char siu with Yakult. 4．According to the text, which is a xiexiu method? A．Practice by learning from foreigners. B．Write notes on piano keys. C．Dance in gym for calories. D．Read novels in office openly. 5．What’s the structure of the passage? A． B． C． D． A new study shows the world creates about 57 million tons of plastic pollution every year. Researchers say the amount is enough to fill New York City’s Central Park with plastic waste as high as the Empire State Building. The researchers who joined this study examined plastic that goes into the open environment, not plastic that is properly burned or buried (埋葬). Governments fail to deal with waste properly that is a big reason why Southeast Asia and Africa produce the most plastic waste. India leads the world in producing plastic pollution, with more than 9.3 million tons a year. That number is far more than double the amount produced by the next big-polluting nations, Nigeria and Indonesia. Other top plastic polluters are Pakistan, Bangladesh, Russia and Brazil. The study used AI to research plastics that were wrongly burned or just left in the open environment. In both cases, microplastics (微塑料) are spread, said Velis, the study’s lead writer. Several studies have looked at how common microplastics are in our drinking water and in our bodies. Scientists are still not quite sure how dangerous microplastics are for human health. Some experts worried that the study only paid attention to pollution but ignored (忽视) plastic production. Plastic production is likely to rise from about 400 million tons a year to more than 1.1 billion tons. It lets out large amounts of greenhouse gas (温室气体) that makes the earth warmer. Neil Tangri, a researcher working on waste and environmental programs, said, “It’s not exact to say now all we need to do is manage the pollution better. It’s necessary but it’s not the whole story.” 1．Why is the Empire State Building mentioned in Paragraph 1? A．To share a secret in the building. B．To call for efforts on a green life. C．To explain how serious the plastic pollution is. D．To talk about the biggest polluted place. 2．Which of the following countries produces the least plastic waste? A．India. B．Brazil. C．Indonesia. D．Nigeria. 3．What can we know about microplastics? A．They’ve been found in drinking water. B．They only come from burned plastic. C．They are good for the human body. D．They hide in everyone’s body. 4．What do Neil Tangri’s words mean? A．It’s risky to manage the plastic waste. B．The plastic industry is in great trouble.

On September 3, 2025, China held a big military parade (阅兵) in Tian’anmen Square. It marked the 80th anniversary (周年纪念) of winning the Chinese People’s War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression and the World Anti-Fascist War. This event has great importance for all Chinese people. The parade has two main parts and lasts about 70 minutes. There are 45 teams in total, like air flag teams, foot teams and equipment teams. All the weapons shown were made in China, and many new kinds appeared for the first time. This parade is very meaningful. First, it helps people remember history and respect the heroes who died for our country. Second, it shows how modern our military (军队) is and its ability to keep our country safe. Third, it tells the world China would keep the post-war order (战后秩序) and support global peace. During the parade, people from different fields are invited. This tells us the success of the war came from the whole Chinese nation. Also, the parade shows China’s promise to build a better world for everyone. As teenagers, we should learn from history, study hard to improve our abilities. We must value peace and take action to protect it. 1．What was the main purpose of the military parade?

China’s Sky Eye (FAST) is the world’s largest single-aperture radio telescope (射电望远镜). It has got a lot of attention from all over the world. The building of FAST started in March 2011 and was finished in September 2016. And it officially began working in January 2020. Scientists across the world can ask for using the telescope to study stars, planets and other objects in the universe. The main scientific task of the telescope is to help study pulsars (脉冲星). And the study of pulsars can help to solve many questions in physics. Another main scientific goal of FAST is to search for life outside the Earth. The telescope looks like a huge dish in the middle of a forest. It is in a naturally deep and round karst depression (喀斯特洼地) in southwest China’s Guizhou Province. The first advantage of the place is its altitude. Guizhou is usually about 1,100 meters high. Generally, the higher the altitude is, the more the telescope can study. Second, the radio telescope needs to have a “big pan” to get better signals. The huge natural depression could reduce the difficulty of construction (建造). What’s more, the place in Guizhou is far away from cities, and not many people live there. So the telescope can be less disturbed by devices such as TVs, mobile phones and radios from human activities. So far, FAST has achieved excellent results in many fields. For example, as of April 17, 2024, the number of new pulsars discovered by FAST is more than 900. It provides a powerful tool for human beings to explore the secrets of the universe. 1．When did FAST start working officially? A．In 2011. B．In 2016. C．In 2020. D．In 2024. 2．One of the main tasks of FAST is to ________. A．study black holes B．solve our daily problems C．know pulsars more D．search for life on the earth 3．What does the underlined word “devices” mean? A．电波 B．活动 C．选址 D．设备 4．The telescope was built in Guizhou Province because of ________. ① the altitude                  ② the natural depression ③ a great number of people       ④ the excellent transportation A．①② B．②③ C．③④ D．①④ 5．Which of the following shows the structure of the text? (① ＝ Paragraph 1, ② ＝ Paragraph 2...） A． B． C． D． Rainbows are created by light shining through water or clear objects. In nature, rainbows usually appear where rain and sunlight meet. Rainbows are beautiful tricks of light. Science, though, has unlocked their mysteries. Where and When Rainbows Appear Notice the weather the next time you see a rainbow. It is usually in the morning or late afternoon. There will be rain or mist in front of you, and the sun will be shining from behind you. Water in the air and direct light are the two things needed to see a rainbow in nature. A rainbow won’t appear if the sky is too cloudy. You can sometimes see rainbows in the mist of a waterfall, too. A fountain (喷泉) under a bright moon can create a small rainbow, and a sprinkler on a sunny day may put on a colorful show. How Rainbows Form René Descartes, who was a French scientist discovered that a rainbow looks like a half circle. However, a rainbow actually forms a full circle. To see a rainbow, the viewer must be looking at the light from the right angle (角度). To understand rainbows, it helps to understand how light travels. Light moves at different speeds through different mediums (介质). Think of running on land. Then imagine running in knee-deep water. You move slower through water. In the same way, light moves faster through air than through water. This happens because water is thicker than air. When light enters water, it slows and changes its original path. This process makes objects, such as a pencil sitting in a glass of water seem to bend (弯曲). We can see rainbows in nature when direct light meets drops of rain. Sunlight refracts (折射) as it enters each drop. The light then reflects (反射), or bounces, off the inside of each drop, like light off a mirror. The light refracts again as it exits the drop. Light refracts and reflects in millions of water droplets in the sky at the same time. This process makes all the colors of a rainbow. 1．Which sentence below can best explain the underlined sentence “Rainbows are beautiful tricks of light” in Paragraph 1? A．Rainbows are tricks made by many scientists. B．Someone lied to us about the truth of rainbows. C．The light plays tricks on people’s eyes and makes rainbows. D．Rainbows are made by some unknown magic tricks 2．In which of the following situations, a rainbow CAN’T form? A．In the mist of a waterfall. B．On a misty morning. C．Over a fountain under a bright moon. D．Over a sprinkler on a very cloudy day. 3．Which could be the best picture for the underlined sentence in Paragraph 3? A． B． C． D． 4．Which statement below is TRUE according to the article? A．Rainbow can be a complete circle as well as a half circle. B．You need to stand at a right angle to see a rainbow. C．Light can actually make a pencil bend in water. D．Light moves faster in thicker mediums like water. 5．What is the process to create a rainbow? A．Sunlight enters the raindrop, reflects, refracts, and then reflects again as it exits. B．Sunlight enters the raindrop, refracts, reflects, and then refracts again as it exits. C．Sunlight enters the raindrop, refracts, bounces, and then reflects as it exits. D．Sunlight enters the raindrop, reflects, bounces, and then refracts as it exits. Driverless cars have developed rapidly in China nowadays. Recently, the news of “radish Run fast” (萝卜快跑) has drawn wide attention. Driverless cars are becoming more common in many cities. It has become a hit on social media. Driverless cars can operate (操作) without a human driver. They can communicate with each other and change their speed and direction as needed, possibly improving traffic conditions and even making traffic lights needless as well. Another main advantage of driverless vehicles is that they reduce the number of accidents on the road, so it will save hundreds and thousands of people’s lives. However, there are still worries about whether driverless cars are safe for everyone on the road. Even though they use smart technology to avoid dangers and control the car, they’re not perfect yet. In a recent London test, a driver had to take control twice to avoid accidents. There are a lot of challenges that need to be solved before we see traffic lights disappear. One of these challenges is allowing driverless cars on the roads regularly, which requires solving many safety and technical problems. Driverless cars need sensors (传感器), cameras, and computer systems to operate. However, making these systems work effectively in all weather and road conditions is challenging. People have mixed feelings about driverless cars. Some people, like Grant Schapps, believe they could be a big deal if we can make them work safely. But some feel uncomfortable with the idea, and most want them to be clearly marked on the road. Experts (专家) think we might need new road signs just for driverless cars because they may have difficulty moving through the roads with heavy traffic or unexpected situations. In short, while driverless cars offer exciting possibilities, we must deal with many problems before they become common on our roads. 1．What’s the purpose of Paragraph 1? A．To explain an idea. B．To introduce the topic. C．To advise people to buy driverless cars. D．To tell people how to operate driverless cars. 2．How does the writer show driverless cars are not perfect now? A．By listing numbers. B．By asking a question. C．By making comparison. D．By giving an example. 3．What does Paragraph 4 mainly talk about? A．Safety of driverless cars. B．Problems of driverless cars. C．Technology of driverless cars. D．Advantages of driverless cars. 4．What is Grant Schapps’ attitude (态度) about driverless cars? A．Positive. B．Uncertain. C．Worried. D．Doubtful. 5．What does the writer want to tell us? A．Think twice before acting. B．One tree can’t make a forest. C．The early bird catches the worm. D．Actions speak louder than words. At the year’s Boao Forum for Asia (博鳌亚洲论坛), experts expressed excitement about the potential (潜力)of AI. Zhang Keke, director of the Macau Institute of Space Technology and Application, said that Mars could become a planet which is suitable for humans to live on with the help of AI. “Mars used to have water and an environment just like the earth. I believe in the future humans could improve the environment on Mars through AI technology, making it have air and water again, so that humans can live there,” Zhang said. “It may not be science fiction. If this happens, it will solve many troubles faced by humans, such as the shortage of land. That is why humans have been exploring the moon and other planets for many years.” All kinds of ideas have been come up with by many scientists to recreate the magnetic field (磁场) of Mars. When there is a magnetic field, it acts like an umbrella and stops solar wind, allowing the environment to become suitable for the development of water, air and human life. Actually, China is already on this way. Tianwen-1 probe landed on Mars as early as 2021. This was the first time that China has carried out an exploration of the magnetic field on Mars. “China’s exploring of Mars will be further sped up with the development of AI,” Zhang said. “In 2028, China will launch a second spacecraft called Tianwen-3, which will take samples (样本) from Mars and bring them back to the earth. So I feel that with powerful tools like AI and machine learning methods, humans will greatly increase the speed of exploration of resources on Mars, and especially on the moon, in the future.” 1．What were the experts excited about at the year’s Boao Forum for Asia? A．The potential of AI. B．The finding of air and water on Mars. C．The launch of Tianwen-3. D．The improvement of the environment. 2．In Zhang’s opinion, what is the main purpose of using AI in Mars exploration? A．To find life on Mars. B．To bring back water from Mars. C．To achieve the goal of landing on Mars. D．To create an earth-like living environment. 3．Why do we need to recreate the magnetic field of Mars? A．It can create more land. B．It can collect more sunlight. C．It can reduce the bad weather. D．It can help humans live on Mars. 4．What’s Zhang’s attitude towards AI in space exploration? A．Shocked. B．Worried. C．Confident. D．Doubtful. 5．What’s the main idea of the passage? A．AI shows science fiction. B．AI will help humans explore Mars. C．Mars is suitable for humans. D．Humans will recreate the magnetic field. 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 期末复习之阅读理解20篇 （期末考试热点话题） 本资料共15篇专题训练，从上到下按照难度分层训练 题号 难度 知识点 1 较易 文体活动,应用文 2 较易 社团/俱乐部,音乐与舞蹈,应用文 3 较易 时文/广告/布告,工作与职业,应用文 4 较易 时文/广告/布告,应用文 5 较易 时文/广告/布告,应用文 6 适中 学习体验,记叙文 7 适中 科学家,记叙文 8 适中 个人经历,家人和亲人,哲理感悟,记叙文 9 适中 其他人,环境保护,记叙文 10 适中 中华文化,记叙文,个人经历 11 适中 语言与文化,文化差异,说明文 12 适中 科学技术,说明文 13 适中 中华文化,说明文 14 适中 环境污染,说明文 15 适中 电影与戏剧,说明文 16 适中 庆祝活动,说明文 17 较难 科学技术,说明文 18 较难 科普知识,描绘天气,说明文 19 较难 发明与创造,交通方式,说明文 20 较难 畅想未来,科普知识,说明文 Traditional Chinese Culture Festival Next week, our school will hold a festival to promote (宣传) our traditional culture.

I came to America with my mom, dad and little brother from Shanghai, China two years ago. It was difficult to leave behind my friends, but the most difficult thing was learning English. Over the last two years, I can understand most of the words my friends speak. But I was still often at a loss. And sometimes the words I speak sound quite different. I think it would be okay if I just had to learn to speak English. But I had to learn reading and writing. In English, one letter can make many different sounds. Take the letter C for example. If C is the first letter of a word like “cat”, its pronunciation is “k”。But when it is the first letter of a word like “center”, its pronunciation is “s”. And think about W. If it is the first letter of a word like “white”, its pronunciation is “w”. But when it’s the first letter of a word like “write”, it doesn’t make any sound. How can I remember all of these? Luckily, thanks to my teachers and classmates, I keep getting better. I’m sure someday I will speak English as well as them. 1．Who did Lin Bin go to America with? A．His classmates. B．His friends.

They left London two years ago, but they still can’t believe how much their life has changed. In London, they were successful. And they were very wealthy. They had a big apartment and two expensive cars. They used to spend a lot of money on clothes and vacations. They did all these things without thinking because they had lots of money. But did they enjoy their life? One day, Lisa was driving home. She suddenly realized (意识到) that it was always dark when she left home in the morning and dark when she left the office in the evening. She usually came home in a bad mood. And she used to work most weekends, too. Barry was too busy to have time for his hobbies—cooking and fishing. So both of them thought it was time to change. The Mosses sold their apartment and cars, found a house in a village and set up a small restaurant. “It’s perfect,” says Lisa. “We grow all the fruit and vegetables for the restaurant. Barry does the cooking and I love talking to customers. ” The Mosses still work hard, but their life now is quite different from that in London. “Though now we don’t make as much money as we did before.” laughs Barry, “we have time to do all the things we like.” Do they miss London? “We’re happy with fewer things! And in fact, we don’t think about London anymore!” says Lisa. 1．What made the Mosses decide to move to a village? A．Their hobbies. B．Their busy life. C．The beauty of the village. D．The idea of opening a restaurant. 2．In the village, the Mosses ________. A．work as cooks B．make a lot of money C．have a restaurant D．have to work most weekends 3．The underlined word “that” in Paragraph 4 refers to ________.

She usually came home in a bad mood. And she used to work most weekends, too. Barry was too busy to have time for his hobbies—cooking and fishing. So both of them thought it was time to change.”可知，Lisa在伦敦早晚出门都是黑夜，常带着坏心情回家，还经常周末加班；Barry则忙于工作，没时间追求烹饪和钓鱼的爱好，两人因此决定改变。由此可知，是伦敦忙碌的生活让他们决定搬到村庄。故选B。 2．细节理解题。根据“The Mosses sold their apartment and cars, found a house in a village and set up a small restaurant.”可知，夫妇俩在村庄开设了一家小餐馆。故选C。 3．词句猜测题。根据“The Mosses still work hard, but their life now is quite different from that in London.”可知，句子对比的是夫妇俩“现在的生活”和“过去在伦敦的生活”，“that”作为代词，指代前文提到的“the life the Mosses used to have in London”。故选B。 4．推理判断题。根据“we have time to do all the things we like”和“We’re happy with fewer things”可知莫斯夫妇在村庄有时间做自己喜欢的事，对拥有更少的东西感到满意，所以判断他们认为在村庄的生活是愉快的。故选A。 5．最佳标题题。根据文章可知莫斯夫妇厌倦伦敦忙碌的生活，而搬到小村庄开餐馆，生活简单，虽然收入减少，但很开心。故选C。 Some people see oysters (牡蛎) as delicious food. But some raise oysters to clean up the polluted seawater. Amy, a 15-year-old girl, is one of them. She has won a Master Oyster Gardener Prize this year. She thinks oysters are really helpful. They are environmental stars. “I knew nothing about oyster gardening when I started in 2022. I learned all of this after I finished a free course about it. The course is about raising oysters in cages,” Amy says. There used to be lots of oysters in coastal waters. But their numbers have diminished. This is mainly because of some natural disasters. Oyster gardening is a way to help. “Anyone can join,” an oyster gardening researcher Liz Black says. “You don’t have to do a lot to take care of your oysters, but the influence they have on the environment is huge,” Amy says. During the oyster gardening season, Amy and her mom go to the beach. There Amy has nine cages. “Once a week I go out there,” she says. She pulls the cages from the water to check conditions of the oysters. This spring, Amy’s oysters will be big enough to be collected. Amy will go with Liz to pick them up. Oysters that are collected will then be “planted” on the reefs (珊瑚礁). So far, Amy has raised more than 1,500 oysters. She’s a great leader of oyster gardening and a great supporter, too. 1．What does Amy think of oysters? A．Huge. B．Clean. C．Helpful. D．Delicious. 2．When did Amy get to know about raising oysters? A．After she joined a research team. B．After she won a master prize. C．After she attended a free course. D．After she cleaned up the seawater. 3．What does the underlined word “diminished” in Paragraph 3 probably mean? A．grown B．fallen C．divided D．remained 4．Why does Amy pull the cages out of water weekly? A．To feed the oysters. B．To mix the oysters. C．To check the oysters. D．To name the oysters. 5．What is the best title for the text? A．A Cage Maker B．A Master Prize C．An Oyster Festival D．An Oyster Gardener 【答案】1．C 2．C 3．B 4．C 5．D 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了15岁女孩艾米通过参加免费课程学习养殖牡蛎，每周照料牡蛎并已培育1500多只，这些牡蛎将被“种植”到珊瑚礁以净化海水的故事，体现了艾米对环境保护的贡献，也说明养殖牡蛎是助力海洋清洁的有效方式。 1．细节理解题。根据第一段“Amy... She thinks oysters are really helpful.”可知，艾米明确认为牡蛎很有帮助。故选C。 2．细节理解题。根据第二段“Amy says, ‘I knew nothing about oyster gardening when I started in 2022. I learned all of this after I finished a free course about it.’”可知，艾米是在完成一门免费课程后学会养殖牡蛎的。故选C。 3．词句猜测题。根据第三段“There used to be lots of oysters... But their numbers have diminished. This is mainly because of some natural disasters.”可知，过去有很多牡蛎，但因自然灾害，数量发生变化；“but”表转折，推测“diminished”意为“减少、下降”，与“fallen”同义。故选B。 4．细节理解题。根据第五段“She pulls the cages from the water to check conditions of the oysters.”可知，艾米每周把笼子拉出水面是为了检查牡蛎的状况。故选C。 5．最佳标题题。全文围绕15岁女孩艾米养殖牡蛎、保护环境的核心事件展开；选项D“一名牡蛎养殖者”既概括了核心人物，也体现了其核心行为，更贴合文章内容，适合作为文章的标题。故选D。 Recently, I attended the anniversary celebration of Confucius’ birth in Quzhou, Zhejiang. This event, which holds deep cultural and philosophical value, was an eye-opening experience into the heart of Chinese tradition and the enduring heritage of Confucianism (儒学). The city is home to the descendants (后代) of Confucius, with the 76th of his descendants taking part in the ancient procession (游行). The city plays a special role in keeping Confucius’ teachings alive, making it the perfect place for such a celebration. As I entered the beautifully protected temples, I was surprised at the worship with which this ancient person is still celebrated today. The air was filled with a sense of respect and ceremony. Many local experts and descendants of Confucius were dressed in traditional Chinese robes, showing the sense of continuity between past and present. A lot of ritual (仪式) performances and prayers were offered, connecting modern society with the ideals Confucius came up with over two thousand years ago. Beyond the ritual, there were many discussions by Confucian experts on how these ancient teachings are explained in the context of today’s society. I realized that Confucianism isn’t just a relic (遗物) of the past but remains a living philosophy, offering guidance on how to deal with the difficulties of modern life. What touched me most was how the old traditions connect with modernity in China. While the country is rapidly developing in technology and global influence, it still places great value on its historical roots. The Confucius anniversary celebrations were not just about honoring the past but also about protecting a philosophy that continues to enrich the present. My time in Quzhou reminded me that ▲ , traditions like Confucianism offer a sense of continuity and grounding. This experience was a deep reminder of the cultural depth of China, and how its people try to protect their rich cultural heritage while getting used to the fast-paced, modern world. As I left Quzhou, I carried with me a deeper understanding of Confucius’ lasting importance, not just for China, but for anyone looking for wisdom in a changing world. 1．Why was the anniversary celebration held in Quzhou? A．Because Confucius was born there. B．Because Confucius once lived there. C．Because many people respect Confucius there. D．Because many of Confucius’ descendants live there. 2．Which question can help readers know the main idea of Paragraph 3? A．How did Confucius come up with his ideas? B．What did they do to celebrate the anniversary? C．Who took part in the anniversary celebration? D．When did the anniversary celebration take place? 3．According to Paragraph 4, the writer agrees that Confucianism is ________. A．helpful but difficult B．ancient but helpful C．ordinary and ancient D．living and interesting 4．Which of the following can be put in the ▲ ? A．while change is certain B．unless the celebration is held C．if we follow Confucius’ ideas D．although Confucianism is meaningful 5．What is the writer’s main purpose in writing this passage? A．To introduce his journey into tradition. B．To share some information about Quzhou. C．To show the development of Chinese culture. D．To advise people to follow ancient teachings. 【答案】1．D 2．B 3．B 4．A 5．A 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，讲述了作者参加浙江衢州孔子诞辰周年庆典的经历，通过这次活动，作者深入了解了中国传统文化和儒学的持久遗产，感受到古老传统与现代社会的联系，以及儒学在现代生活中的指导意义。 1．细节理解题。根据文章第二段“The city is home to the descendants (后代) of Confucius, with the 76th of his descendants taking part in the ancient procession (游行). The city plays a special role in keeping Confucius’ teachings alive, making it the perfect place for such a celebration.”可知，衢州是孔子后代的居住地，许多孔子的后代生活在那里，所以周年庆典在衢州举行。故选D。 2．主旨大意题。第三段主要描述了周年庆典上的各种仪式活动，如穿着传统长袍、进行仪式表演和祈祷等，这些活动将现代社会与孔子两千多年前提出的理想联系起来。因此，问题“What did they do to celebrate the anniversary?”能够帮助读者了解第三段的主要内容。故选B。 3．推理判断题。根据文章第四段“I realized that Confucianism isn’t just a relic (遗物) of the past but remains a living philosophy, offering guidance on how to deal with the difficulties of modern life.”可知，作者认为儒学不仅仅是过去的遗物，而是一种仍然活着的哲学，对如何处理现代生活的困难提供指导。因此，作者认为儒学是古老但有帮助的。故选B。 4．推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“My time in Quzhou reminded me that ▲ , traditions like Confucianism offer a sense of continuity and grounding. This experience was a deep reminder of the cultural depth of China, and how its people try to protect their rich cultural heritage while getting used to the fast-paced, modern world.”可知，作者在衢州的经历提醒他，在变化是必然的同时，像儒学这样的传统提供了一种连续性和根基感。因此，选项A“while change is certain”（而变化是必然的）符合语境。故选A。 5．主旨大意题。文章主要讲述了作者参加衢州孔子诞辰周年庆典的经历，通过这次活动，作者深入了解了中国传统文化和儒学的持久遗产，感受到古老传统与现代社会的联系，以及儒学在现代生活中的指导意义。因此，作者的主要目的是介绍他的传统之旅。故选A。 Sayings are used every day. You may ask an unhappy friend why she’s “feeling blue”. If you’ve done only a small part of a big job, you might call it “a drop in the bucket (桶).” These sayings don’t mean exactly what the words say. But it’s easy to tell why we use them. Blue is a cool, quiet color. So it’s a good word for “sad”. A bucket holds too many drops of water to count. So just one drop is very little. Other sayings are more difficult to understand. When you are about to go to bed, you are going to “hit the hay (干草)”. This saying does not make much sense unless you know where it came from. It was first used in the 1930s. At that time, many Americans were out of work. Some went from place to place, looking for jobs. At night they were very tired. They often made a bed of hay in a field or barn (谷仓). As soon as their heads “hit the hay”, they fell asleep. Here is another saying. When you are sick, you might say you are “under the weather”. But why? This saying is more than 200 years old. It began in the days when many people went from place to place by boat. When storm winds rocked the boat, people often felt sick. The boat was sailing (航行) “under the weather”. Young kids may find old sayings like these hard to understand, and old people may also have difficulty understanding new sayings. That’s why a granny might not know what you mean by saying “give me five”. She might think you’re “off your rocker (发疯)”. 1．What does the saying “a drop in the bucket” mean according to the passage? A．Having a lot of water in a bucket. B．Completing a big job successfully. C．Doing a very small part of a big job. D．Filling a bucket with only one drop of water. 2．When did the saying “hit the hay” first come into use? A．In the 1930s. B．More than 200 years ago. C．When people started using boats for travel. D．When grannies began to learn new sayings. 3．What does the saying “under the weather” mean? A．Feeling sick. B．Sailing a boat in bad weather. C．Being outside on a rainy day. D．Working hard under difficult conditions. 4．Why might a granny not understand the saying “give me five”? A．Because it is a new saying. B．Because grannies never use their hands to greet others. C．Because grannies are not interested in learning new things. D．Because “give me five” had a different meaning in the past. 5．What is the main idea of the passage? A．To introduce the history of English. B．To tell readers how to create new English sayings. C．To compare old English sayings and new English sayings. D．To explain the meanings and origins of some English sayings. 【答案】1．C 2．A 3．A 4．A 5．D 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，解释了一些英语常用说法的含义及起源，并提到不同年龄段的人可能对新旧说法存在理解困难。   1．词句猜测题。根据“If you’ve done only a small part of a big job, you might call it ‘a drop in the bucket (桶).’”可知，“a drop in the bucket”指的是做了一项大工作中非常小的一部分。故选C。 2．细节理解题。根据“It was first used in the 1930s.”可知，“hit the hay”这个说法最早是在20世纪30年代开始使用的。故选A。 3．词句猜测题。根据“When you are sick, you might say you are ‘under the weather’.”可知，“under the weather”的意思是感觉生病。故选A。 4．细节理解题。根据“Young kids may find old sayings like these hard to understand, and old people may also have difficulty understanding new says. That’s why a granny might not know what you mean by saying ‘give me five’.”可知，奶奶不懂“give me five”是因为这是一个新的说法。故选A。 5．主旨大意题。根据文章内容，介绍“feeling blue”、“a drop in the bucket”、“hit the hay”、“under the weather”等说法的含义和起源，文章主要是解释一些英语说法的含义和起源。故选D。 A video recently surprised Internet users: a kangaroo holding a plane ticket waited in line at an airport, only to be told by an airline worker that pets couldn’t board. With millions of likes, many shared it as real—until some experts told the truth that it was AI-generated (AI合成). This fun scene shows a key problem: “AI hallucination (幻觉),” which means when AI forms wrong but believable information. AI sometimes says things that aren’t true. That’s because it learns from tons of information, and when it doesn’t know something, it makes up answers based on the rules it has learned before. They might invent events, people, or data. For example, some AI has cited (引用) fake research papers from universities. While the kangaroo video is safe, such “hallucinations” can be dangerous. A lawyer once used AI to write made-up court cases (法案), causing professional troubles. In healthcare, AI could even give dangerous advice, misleading people who are finding online facts. To avoid being fooled, experts give some suggestions. Always check AI answers carefully with trusted materials like textbooks or official (官方的) websites. You can use fact-checking tools, and most importantly, stay questioning. Remember: AI doesn’t “think” like humans. If something seems strange—like a kangaroo at an airport—question it logically. In China, some new rules about AI-generated are made by the government to help people tell real from fake. As AI gets better and better, it’s very important to balance its good points and its risks. We can use AI well if we check information carefully and don’t just believe everything—and we should also watch out for its problems. 1．What made Internet users surprised recently? A．A kangaroo bought a plane ticket. B．An airport video of a kangaroo waiting in line. C．An airline worker allowed pets to board. D．Experts said videos online are AI-generated. 2．When AI isn’t sure about something, it says untrue things because ________. A．it makes people believe wrong information B．it cannot understand any human questions C．it uses what it has learned to make up answers D．it has learned too little information to answer 3．Which can be a dangerous AI “hallucination” example? A．The kangaroo video got many likes. B．AI made fake university papers for fun. C．A lawyer used AI’s made-up court cases. D．Students use AI to find online facts. 4．What does the underlined word “it” in paragraph 3 refer to? A．A fact-checking tool. B．A kangaroo. C．Advice from experts. D．Strange answer from AI. 5．What can we infer from the passage? A．People should believe AI answers online. B．Chinese online AI makes some strict rules. C．Humans can check AI with textbooks to avoid tricks. D．AI thinks like humans, so it makes similar mistakes. 【答案】1．B 2．C 3．C 4．D 5．C 【导语】本文主要讲述了最近一个关于袋鼠在机场排队的视频引发网络热议，后被证实是AI合成的，进而引出AI幻觉这一关键问题，介绍了AI产生幻觉的原因、可能带来的危险，专家给出的避免被愚弄的建议，以及中国政府制定新规帮助人们辨别真假，最后强调要平衡AI的优点和风险。 1．细节理解题。根据“A video recently surprised Internet users: a kangaroo holding a plane ticket waited in line at an airport”可知，最近让网络用户感到惊讶的是一个袋鼠在机场排队的视频，故选B。 2．细节理解题。根据“AI sometimes says things that aren’t true. That’s because it learns from tons of information, and when it doesn’t know something, it makes up answers based on the rules it has learned before.”可知，当AI不确定某件事时，它会说不真实的话是因为它用所学到的知识编造答案，故选C。 3．细节理解题。根据“While the kangaroo video is safe, such ‘hallucinations’ can be dangerous. A lawyer once used AI to write made-up court cases (法案), causing professional troubles.”可知，律师使用AI编造的法庭案例，这属于危险的AI“幻觉”例子，故选C。 4．词句猜测题。根据“If something seems strange—like a kangaroo at an airport—question it logically.”可知，如果有些事情看起来很奇怪，比如机场里的袋鼠，要理性地质疑它，所以“it”指代的是AI给出的奇怪答案，故选D。 5．推理判断题。根据“Always check AI answers carefully with trusted materials like textbooks or official (官方的) websites.”可推测出，人们可以用教科书来检查AI以避免被欺骗，故选C。 In recent years, the word “Xiexiu” has become popular on social media. The idea comes from Taoist (道教) culture, describing those who use wrong ways and give up moral codes (道德准则) to reach their goals. However, xiexiu has been used by young Chinese as a humorous way to challenge tradition. Social media videos with the “xiexiu” tag have already attracted more than 4 billion views. The trend began with food influencers (博主) testing out unconventional cooking methods they called xiexiu food. One influencer, named “Big Brother is Hungry”, cooked Cantonese-style char siu (叉烧) in Yakult (养乐多) and got more than 200,000 likes. Xiexiu practices soon spread beyond the kitchen. In fitness, young people now often use KTV to burn calories (卡路里) by singing high-energy songs and dancing—a “sing and sweat” activity. At work, some people share secret ways to rest, like hiding online novels on their computers, or listening to podcasts and watching short videos in the bathroom. Students joined in too. An art student said they wrote song lyrics on piano keys to memorize notes. Another student said they learned a perfect English accent by acting like a foreigner. Xiexiu practice isn’t really about teaching you how to cook, work or study, but it’s teaching you how to rethink. “Through xiexiu, I found that solving problems no longer feels like a chore. It has become a fun life try, and I am more positive now,” one influencer wrote. But as in classic Chinese martial arts tales (武侠小说), stepping onto the wrong path comes with risks. Some xiexiu food tries brought people stomachaches, and others got fired by bosses when they tried xiexiu practices at work. In conclusion, “xiexiu” doesn’t tell us to avoid tasks like cooking, working or studying, but to focus on improving our ways—especially creative ones. 1．What did “xiexiu” mean in the past? A．Follow moral codes strictly. B．Use wrong ways for goals. C．Humorous fight against convention. D．Popular social media tag. 2．What’s the meaning of the underlined word “unconventional”? A．Unusual. B．Uncomfortable. C．Uneasy. D．Unsafe. 3．What did the man called “Big Brother is Hungry” do? A．Sell char siu online. B．Use milk for char siu. C．Cook Sichuan-style char siu. D．Make char siu with Yakult. 4．According to the text, which is a xiexiu method? A．Practice by learning from foreigners. B．Write notes on piano keys. C．Dance in gym for calories. D．Read novels in office openly. 5．What’s the structure of the passage?

Researchers say the amount is enough to fill New York City’s Central Park with plastic waste as high as the Empire State Building. The researchers who joined this study examined plastic that goes into the open environment, not plastic that is properly burned or buried (埋葬). Governments fail to deal with waste properly that is a big reason why Southeast Asia and Africa produce the most plastic waste. India leads the world in producing plastic pollution, with more than 9.3 million tons a year. That number is far more than double the amount produced by the next big-polluting nations, Nigeria and Indonesia. Other top plastic polluters are Pakistan, Bangladesh, Russia and Brazil. The study used AI to research plastics that were wrongly burned or just left in the open environment. In both cases, microplastics (微塑料) are spread, said Velis, the study’s lead writer. Several studies have looked at how common microplastics are in our drinking water and in our bodies. Scientists are still not quite sure how dangerous microplastics are for human health. Some experts worried that the study only paid attention to pollution but ignored (忽视) plastic production. Plastic production is likely to rise from about 400 million tons a year to more than 1.1 billion tons. It lets out large amounts of greenhouse gas (温室气体) that makes the earth warmer. Neil Tangri, a researcher working on waste and environmental programs, said, “It’s not exact to say now all we need to do is manage the pollution better. It’s necessary but it’s not the whole story.” 1．Why is the Empire State Building mentioned in Paragraph 1? A．To share a secret in the building. B．To call for efforts on a green life. C．To explain how serious the plastic pollution is. D．To talk about the biggest polluted place. 2．Which of the following countries produces the least plastic waste? A．India. B．Brazil. C．Indonesia. D．Nigeria. 3．What can we know about microplastics? A．They’ve been found in drinking water. B．They only come from burned plastic. C．They are good for the human body. D．They hide in everyone’s body. 4．What do Neil Tangri’s words mean? A．It’s risky to manage the plastic waste. B．The plastic industry is in great trouble. C．We can’t just focus on the plastic pollution. D．We can do nothing but manage the waste better. 5．What is the best title of the passage? A．The world is producing too much plastic waste. B．Microplastics require further research. C．Efforts are needed to beat plastic production. D．Plastic industry is warming the earth quickly. 【答案】1．C 2．B 3．A 4．C 5．A 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲述了全球塑料污染的严重性，包括污染量、主要污染国家、微塑料的危害以及专家对塑料生产和污染管理的看法。 1．细节理解题。根据“Researchers say the amount is enough to fill New York City’s Central Park with plastic waste as high as the Empire State Building.”可知，提到帝国大厦是为了形象地说明塑料污染的严重程度。故选C。 2．细节理解题。根据“India leads the world in producing plastic pollution, with more than 9.3 million tons a year. That number is far more than double the amount produced by the next big-polluting nations, Nigeria and Indonesia. Other top plastic polluters are Pakistan, Bangladesh, Russia and Brazil.”可知印度是塑料污染最多的国家，每年超过930万吨。这个数字远远超过第二大污染国尼日利亚和第三大污染国印度尼西亚的两倍，其他顶级塑料污染国是巴基斯坦、孟加拉国、俄罗斯和巴西，在给出的四个选项中，印度最多，尼日利亚和印度尼西亚其次，巴西虽也属污染大国但排名最后。因此，巴西的塑料污染量在四个选项中是最少的。故选B。 3．细节理解题。根据“Several studies have looked at how common microplastics are in our drinking water and in our bodies.”可知，微塑料已被发现在饮用水中。故选A。 4．推理判断题。根据“It’s not exact to say now all we need to do is manage the pollution better. It’s necessary but it’s not the whole story.”可知，仅靠更好地管理污染是不够的，这是必要的，但不是全部，可推知，他的意思是不能只关注塑料污染问题。故选C。 5．最佳标题题。通读全文可知，全文主要围绕全球塑料污染的严重性展开，包括污染量、主要国家、微塑料问题及专家观点，A项符合。故选A。 The film Dead To Rights has been selected to represent the Chinese mainland in the Best International Feature Film category at the 98th Academy Awards.

It has got a lot of attention from all over the world. The building of FAST started in March 2011 and was finished in September 2016. And it officially began working in January 2020. Scientists across the world can ask for using the telescope to study stars, planets and other objects in the universe. The main scientific task of the telescope is to help study pulsars (脉冲星). And the study of pulsars can help to solve many questions in physics. Another main scientific goal of FAST is to search for life outside the Earth. The telescope looks like a huge dish in the middle of a forest. It is in a naturally deep and round karst depression (喀斯特洼地) in southwest China’s Guizhou Province. The first advantage of the place is its altitude. Guizhou is usually about 1,100 meters high. Generally, the higher the altitude is, the more the telescope can study. Second, the radio telescope needs to have a “big pan” to get better signals. The huge natural depression could reduce the difficulty of construction (建造). What’s more, the place in Guizhou is far away from cities, and not many people live there. So the telescope can be less disturbed by devices such as TVs, mobile phones and radios from human activities. So far, FAST has achieved excellent results in many fields. For example, as of April 17, 2024, the number of new pulsars discovered by FAST is more than 900. It provides a powerful tool for human beings to explore the secrets of the universe. 1．When did FAST start working officially? A．In 2011. B．In 2016. C．In 2020. D．In 2024. 2．One of the main tasks of FAST is to ________. A．study black holes B．solve our daily problems C．know pulsars more D．search for life on the earth 3．What does the underlined word “devices” mean? A．电波 B．活动 C．选址 D．设备 4．The telescope was built in Guizhou Province because of ________. ① the altitude                  ② the natural depression ③ a great number of people       ④ the excellent transportation A．①② B．②③ C．③④ D．①④ 5．Which of the following shows the structure of the text?

In nature, rainbows usually appear where rain and sunlight meet. Rainbows are beautiful tricks of light. Science, though, has unlocked their mysteries. Where and When Rainbows Appear Notice the weather the next time you see a rainbow. It is usually in the morning or late afternoon. There will be rain or mist in front of you, and the sun will be shining from behind you. Water in the air and direct light are the two things needed to see a rainbow in nature. A rainbow won’t appear if the sky is too cloudy. You can sometimes see rainbows in the mist of a waterfall, too. A fountain (喷泉) under a bright moon can create a small rainbow, and a sprinkler on a sunny day may put on a colorful show. How Rainbows Form René Descartes, who was a French scientist discovered that a rainbow looks like a half circle. However, a rainbow actually forms a full circle. To see a rainbow, the viewer must be looking at the light from the right angle (角度). To understand rainbows, it helps to understand how light travels. Light moves at different speeds through different mediums (介质). Think of running on land. Then imagine running in knee-deep water. You move slower through water. In the same way, light moves faster through air than through water. This happens because water is thicker than air. When light enters water, it slows and changes its original path. This process makes objects, such as a pencil sitting in a glass of water seem to bend (弯曲). We can see rainbows in nature when direct light meets drops of rain. Sunlight refracts (折射) as it enters each drop. The light then reflects (反射), or bounces, off the inside of each drop, like light off a mirror. The light refracts again as it exits the drop. Light refracts and reflects in millions of water droplets in the sky at the same time. This process makes all the colors of a rainbow. 1．Which sentence below can best explain the underlined sentence “Rainbows are beautiful tricks of light” in Paragraph 1? A．Rainbows are tricks made by many scientists. B．Someone lied to us about the truth of rainbows. C．The light plays tricks on people’s eyes and makes rainbows. D．Rainbows are made by some unknown magic tricks 2．In which of the following situations, a rainbow CAN’T form? A．In the mist of a waterfall. B．On a misty morning. C．Over a fountain under a bright moon. D．Over a sprinkler on a very cloudy day. 3．Which could be the best picture for the underlined sentence in Paragraph 3? A． B． C． D． 4．Which statement below is TRUE according to the article? A．Rainbow can be a complete circle as well as a half circle. B．You need to stand at a right angle to see a rainbow. C．Light can actually make a pencil bend in water. D．Light moves faster in thicker mediums like water. 5．What is the process to create a rainbow? A．Sunlight enters the raindrop, reflects, refracts, and then reflects again as it exits. B．Sunlight enters the raindrop, refracts, reflects, and then refracts again as it exits. C．Sunlight enters the raindrop, refracts, bounces, and then reflects as it exits. D．Sunlight enters the raindrop, reflects, bounces, and then refracts as it exits. 【答案】1．C 2．D 3．D 4．B 5．B 【导语】本文是说明文。主要介绍了彩虹的形成原理、出现的时间和地点等相关知识。 1．推理判断题。根据“Rainbows are beautiful tricks of light”可知，“彩虹是光的美丽把戏”，这句话的意思是光通过折射、反射等作用让我们看到彩虹，就好像在跟我们的眼睛玩把戏一样。因此C选项“光对人的眼睛玩把戏，从而形成彩虹”是最能解释这句话的。故选C。 2．细节理解题。根据“A fountain (喷泉) under a bright moon can create a small rainbow, and a sprinkler on a sunny day may put on a colorful show.”及“A rainbow won’t appear if the sky is too cloudy.”可知，洒水器在晴朗的天气时可以形成彩虹，在多云的天气时不能形成彩虹。故选D。 3．细节理解题。根据“When light enters water, it slows and changes its original path. This process makes objects, such as a pencil sitting in a glass of water seem to bend ( 弯曲).”可知，当光进入水中时，它的速度会减慢，并且会改变其原本的传播路径。这一过程使得诸如放在水杯里的铅笔之类的物体看起来好像发生了弯曲。选项D，此图是关于光在空气和水中折射的原理，光从空气进入水中，发生折射。故选D。 4．细节理解题。根据“However, a rainbow actually forms a full circle. To see a rainbow, the viewer must be looking at the light from the right angle (角度).” 可知，彩虹看起来像半圆形。但实际上，彩虹形成的是一个完整的圆。要看到彩虹，观察者必须从合适的角度观察光线。故选B。 5．细节理解题。根据“Sunlight refracts (折射) as it enters each drop. The light then reflects (反射), or bounces, off the inside of each drop, like light off a mirror. The light refracts again as it exits the drop.” 可知，阳光进入雨滴时折射，然后反射，离开雨滴时再次折射。故选B。 Driverless cars have developed rapidly in China nowadays. Recently, the news of “radish Run fast” (萝卜快跑) has drawn wide attention. Driverless cars are becoming more common in many cities. It has become a hit on social media. Driverless cars can operate (操作) without a human driver. They can communicate with each other and change their speed and direction as needed, possibly improving traffic conditions and even making traffic lights needless as well. Another main advantage of driverless vehicles is that they reduce the number of accidents on the road, so it will save hundreds and thousands of people’s lives. However, there are still worries about whether driverless cars are safe for everyone on the road. Even though they use smart technology to avoid dangers and control the car, they’re not perfect yet. In a recent London test, a driver had to take control twice to avoid accidents. There are a lot of challenges that need to be solved before we see traffic lights disappear. One of these challenges is allowing driverless cars on the roads regularly, which requires solving many safety and technical problems. Driverless cars need sensors (传感器), cameras, and computer systems to operate. However, making these systems work effectively in all weather and road conditions is challenging. People have mixed feelings about driverless cars. Some people, like Grant Schapps, believe they could be a big deal if we can make them work safely. But some feel uncomfortable with the idea, and most want them to be clearly marked on the road. Experts (专家) think we might need new road signs just for driverless cars because they may have difficulty moving through the roads with heavy traffic or unexpected situations. In short, while driverless cars offer exciting possibilities, we must deal with many problems before they become common on our roads. 1．What’s the purpose of Paragraph 1? A．To explain an idea. B．To introduce the topic. C．To advise people to buy driverless cars. D．To tell people how to operate driverless cars. 2．How does the writer show driverless cars are not perfect now? A．By listing numbers. B．By asking a question. C．By making comparison. D．By giving an example. 3．What does Paragraph 4 mainly talk about? A．Safety of driverless cars. B．Problems of driverless cars. C．Technology of driverless cars. D．Advantages of driverless cars. 4．What is Grant Schapps’ attitude (态度) about driverless cars? A．Positive. B．Uncertain. C．Worried. D．Doubtful. 5．What does the writer want to tell us? A．Think twice before acting. B．One tree can’t make a forest. C．The early bird catches the worm. D．Actions speak louder than words. 【答案】1．B 2．D 3．B 4．A 5．A 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了无人驾驶汽车的发展现状、优势、挑战以及人们对它的不同态度。 1．主旨大意题。第一段通过介绍“萝卜快跑”这一新闻，引出了无人驾驶汽车在中国的发展现状，并提到它成为社交媒体上的热门话题；因此，第一段的目的是引出主题。故选B。 2．细节理解题。根据第三段“In a recent London test, a driver had to take control twice to avoid accidents.”可知，作者通过提到在伦敦的一次测试中，驾驶员不得不两次接管控制权以避免事故这一例子，展示了无人驾驶汽车目前并不完美。故选D。 3．主旨大意题。根据第四段“There are a lot of challenges that need to be solved before we see traffic lights disappear.

Zhang Keke, director of the Macau Institute of Space Technology and Application, said that Mars could become a planet which is suitable for humans to live on with the help of AI. “Mars used to have water and an environment just like the earth. I believe in the future humans could improve the environment on Mars through AI technology, making it have air and water again, so that humans can live there,” Zhang said. “It may not be science fiction. If this happens, it will solve many troubles faced by humans, such as the shortage of land. That is why humans have been exploring the moon and other planets for many years.” All kinds of ideas have been come up with by many scientists to recreate the magnetic field (磁场) of Mars. When there is a magnetic field, it acts like an umbrella and stops solar wind, allowing the environment to become suitable for the development of water, air and human life. Actually, China is already on this way. Tianwen-1 probe landed on Mars as early as 2021. This was the first time that China has carried out an exploration of the magnetic field on Mars. “China’s exploring of Mars will be further sped up with the development of AI,” Zhang said. “In 2028, China will launch a second spacecraft called Tianwen-3, which will take samples (样本) from Mars and bring them back to the earth. So I feel that with powerful tools like AI and machine learning methods, humans will greatly increase the speed of exploration of resources on Mars, and especially on the moon, in the future.” 1．What were the experts excited about at the year’s Boao Forum for Asia? A．The potential of AI. B．The finding of air and water on Mars. C．The launch of Tianwen-3. D．The improvement of the environment. 2．In Zhang’s opinion, what is the main purpose of using AI in Mars exploration? A．To find life on Mars. B．To bring back water from Mars. C．To achieve the goal of landing on Mars. D．To create an earth-like living environment. 3．Why do we need to recreate the magnetic field of Mars? A．It can create more land. B．It can collect more sunlight. C．It can reduce the bad weather. D．It can help humans live on Mars. 4．What’s Zhang’s attitude towards AI in space exploration? A．Shocked. B．Worried. C．Confident. D．Doubtful. 5．What’s the main idea of the passage? A．AI shows science fiction. B．AI will help humans explore Mars. C．Mars is suitable for humans.
