If so, is it a big bear? Is it a monkey? Or is it a kind of man? No one knows. This mystery has puzzled (困惑) the world for years. In 1887, a mountain climber found large footsteps (脚印) in the snow. They looked like the footsteps of a very large man. But men couldn’t walk without shoes in the snow! In 1906, another climber saw more footsteps. He saw a very large animal standing on two legs. As he watched, it ran away very quickly. Fifteen years later, a newspaper had new stories about the “something”. A mountain climber said he had seen the “snowman” walk slowly in the snow. He said it looked like a very large man. From then on, more and more people had stories to tell. But not until 1951 did a mountain climber bring back the pictures of large footsteps. The pictures showed clearly that the snowman walked on two legs. So it was not a bear or a monkey. Could it be an ape-man (猿人)? And the mystery keeps growing. Someday, we may find out just what it is that makes the largest footsteps. 1．What did the second climber see in 1906? A．A special bear. B．A very large animal standing on two legs. C．An ugly monkey. D．A man walking slowly in the snow. 2．What can we know from the text? A．People have already found out what makes the largest footsteps. B．The snowman walks on four legs. C．The mystery of what makes the large footsteps is still not solved. D．The large footsteps must be made by an ape-man. 3．What is the best title (标题) for the text? A．A heavy snow B．The large footsteps C．A big bear D．The scary monkeys Last weekend, our family went to have Christmas dinner in a restaurant. We were the only family with a baby in the restaurant. Suddenly, my baby, Erik, became excited when we were enjoying our meal. I looked around and saw an old man with old clothes and dirty old shoes. His hair was unwashed. He was smiling at my Erik. “He might hurt my Erik,” I thought. Everyone in the restaurant looked at us and the old man. Then we decided to leave. The old man sat between the door and us. As I walked closer to the man, I turned my back. Suddenly, Erik leaned (倾斜) over my arms, reaching with both arms in a baby’s pick-me-up position. Before I could stop him, Erik had escaped (挣脱) from my arms to the man’s. Soon, the very old, dirty man and my young baby developed a kind of friendship. Erik put his little hand on the man’s face, and I saw the old man close his eyes and tears run down his face. His aged hands held my baby so gently. A moment later, the old man opened his eyes, passed me my baby and said, “Thank you, Madam. You’ve given me the best Christmas gift.” I cried, with my face burning hot. A child saw a soul (灵魂), but a mother saw only a kind of clothes. 1．What did the writer think of the old man at first? A．Terrible. B．Friendly. C．Impossible. D．Wise. 2．Why did the family decide to leave the restaurant? A．They had finished the meal already. B．They had some important things to do. C．They thought the food there was bad. D．They worried about their baby’s safety. 3．What would the writer do after she cried? A．Punish the old man. B．Leave the restaurant at once. C．Say sorry to the old man. D．Call the police. Behrman was a painter, but a failure in art. Although his life was hard, he had always been about to paint a masterpiece, but had never yet begun it. He made little money by serving as a model to the young artists who could not pay the price of a professional. Among those young artists are Sue and Johnsy. One day, Sue told Behrman the serious illness of Johnsy. As she lay in bed, she would watch the ivy leaves (常春藤叶) fall from the old vine (藤蔓) outside her window. “When the last leaf falls,” Sue said in a low voice. “She said that she shall go, too.” “Foolishness!” Behrman shouted. “Someday I will paint a masterpiece and we shall live a life of success. Got it!” At night, they paid a visit to Johnsy. She was sleeping at that time. Inside her room, they looked out of the window fearfully at the last leaf on the vine. A cold rain was falling, mixed with snow. The drops were beating heavily against the shaking leaf. Johnsy woke up the next morning. She found the leaf was still on the vine, brave and green against the gray wall. Another night passed, stormy and cold, but the leaf still survived (幸存). Not long after, the doctor said Johnsy was out of danger. However, old Behrman passed away because of pneumonia (肺炎). And that afternoon, Sue came to Johnsy’s bed. “I have something to tell you, Miss Johnsy,” she said. “Mr. Behrman had been ill for only two days. When he was found by the janitor (门卫), he was helpless with pain. His shoes and clothes were all wet through and icy cold. And then a lantern, still lighted, a ladder and some brushes with green and yellow colors were found. Look out the window, dear, at the last ivy leaf on the wall. Didn’t you wonder why it never moved when the wind blew?” — Adapted from The Last Leaf by O. Henry 1．How did Behrman make money? A．By helping young artists clean houses. B．By serving as a model to young artists. C．By teaching young artists how to paint. D．By selling his paintings to young artists. 2．What is Behrman like? A．Strict and careful. B．Honest and polite. C．Hopeful and kind. D．Friendly and patient. 3．What is the climax of the story? A．The last leaf fell during the storm at night. B．The last leaf strangely survived the storm.

B．The doctor’s care was what saved Johnsy at last. C．Behrman died after going out on the stormy night. D．A masterpiece helped save a life and achieve a dream. I’m not a fan of patchwork quilts (拼布被子). Surprisingly, however, there is a small patchwork quilt in my home. This quilt originally (最初) belonged to my mother. She once joined a weekly book club with some women from the neighborhood. In fact, it was more of an excuse to get together and drink coffee. One of the ladies, Emily, made my mother a small quilt. For years, this quilt sat folded (折叠的) in my mom’s living room. It went with her when she moved to a small room at an assisted living facility (辅助生活机构). I never saw my mother use it throughout all those years. During one of my visits, I asked her why she kept it. She said it was a gift from Emily. I questioned further, as she was not so close to Emily and did not even like the quilt’s design. Her response remained the same: “Because it was from Emily.” After thinking this over for several days, I realized that the quilt’s value didn’t lie in its appearance or in its maker. It was special because it reminded my mom of being a good neighbor and caring for each other. I inherited (继承) the quilt more than ten years ago, and it has remained folded on a shelf ever since. My plan is to one day gift it to my daughter, and I hope she will keep it. Patchwork quilts carry stories. The tales we share about our experiences turn everyday things into something special. 1．Why did the writer’s mother join the book club? A．To write her own book. B．To learn how to make coffee. C．To discuss her favorite books. D．To get together with her neighbors. 2．What does the underlined sentence “Her response remained the same: ‘Because it was from Emily’” show? A．The quilt was very expensive. B．Mom loved the quilt’s design a lot. C．Mom valued the gift from Emily. D．Emily was Mom’s best friend since childhood. 3．Which word best describes the stories behind things like patchwork quilts? A．Boring. B．Meaningful. C．Common. D．Surprising. 4．What is the best title for the text? A．A Special Gift Made with Care B．A Useless Quilt from My Mom C．The Unforgettable Story of Emily D．My Mom’s Book Club Memories Recently, a video has become very popular online. It shows a visitor is letting Ding Ding, a famous chimpanzee (黑猩猩) at Shanghai Wild Animal Park, look at her phone. In the video, a visitor puts a phone on the glass wall. The phone plays loud music and Ding Ding looks closely at the screen. His face sometimes touches the glass wall while he focuses on the phone. A sign next to the glass wall clearly writes: “STOP! STOP! Do not show me your phone.” When asked about the video, a staff member of the park said, “It’s hard to say whether he is addicted or not.” The staff said they ask people not to show phones to Ding Ding because it might hurt his health. The staff further explained that letting Ding Ding look at phone screens for too long might hurt his eyes. “If his eyes get hurt, he can’t tell us or wear glasses like humans. Bad eyesight (视力) might make him stressed and lead to other health problems.” For Ding Ding’s health, the park urges visitors not to show him their phones—though taking photos is still allowed. Staff members will stop people who show videos to the chimp. 1．What is Paragraph 2 mainly about? A．How Ding Ding reacts to the phone. B．Why visitors show phones to Ding Ding. C．When the popular video was taken. D．Where Ding Ding lives in the park. 2．What does the underlined word “addicted” probably mean in Paragraph 3? A．Being afraid of something. B．Being careful with something. C．Being unable to stop doing something. D．Being interested in studying something. 3．What can we learn from the staff’s explanation? A．Ding Ding can wear special glasses. B．Staff will stop all visitors from using phones. C．Ding Ding can tell the staff about his eyes’ pain. D．Bad eyesight may cause Ding Ding to feel stressed. Is it true that plants release (释放) CO₂ during the night and that I should not have one in my bedroom? You are correct. Plants do release CO₂ at night, although they also release CO₂ during the day. This is a part of the breathing process! First, you should know that during the day, when there is enough sunlight, plants run a process called photosynthesis (光合作用). This is where they use CO₂, water and sunlight to produce sugar to be used as food. To use the sugar that plants make through photosynthesis, they need to change the sugar into energy. This process is called breathing. Breathing releases energy from the plant’s sugar, and as a part of this process the plant releases CO₂ and water. So this is where the CO₂ comes from. Unlike photosynthesis which can only be carried out in the green parts of the plant, like the leaves and stems (茎), breathing can go throughout the plant. It is also a process that is happening all of the time, during both the day and the night! Please do not worry, although plants are in the room. Humans also release CO₂ when we breathe out. One plant is not going to release as much CO₂ as one sleeping person. If we can safely share a room with our partners, we can surely share a room with our plants! Plants are really good for our health. It has been shown that being with nature can reduce negative (负面的) feelings and increase positive (积极的) feelings. Caring for plants can be very relaxing and it can be an experience of success to see something that you look after grow. Because of that, I’d like you to have one in your bedroom. 根据材料内容选择最佳答案。 1．How did the writer start this article? A．By asking a question. B．By using a saying. C．By making a survey. D．By expressing an opinion. 2．What do plants turn CO₂, water and sunlight into by photosynthesis? A．Energy. B．Leaves. C．Fruit. D．Sugar. 3．Which parts of the body does a plant breathe through? A．The green parts. B．The roots and flowers. C．The whole body. D．The roots. 4．Why does the writer suggest having a plant in your bedroom? A．Because plants use sunlight to turn water and CO₂ into O₂ and sugar. B．Because taking care of plants makes one feel relaxed and successful. C．Because plants breathe all day and night. D．Because a plant can only release as much CO₂ as one sleeping person. 5．What is the best title for the article? A．Have a plant in the bedroom? B．What is photosynthesis? C．Are plants good for us at night? D．How plants breathe? Fan Zhendong, one of China’s top table tennis players, started a new chapter in his career after the 2024 Paris Olympics. He joined TTBL (German Table Tennis Bundesliga), the top professional table tennis league in Germany, instead of staying in international competitions like WTT. Why did he make this choice? For years, Fan has spoken out about problems in international events, such as too many matches that tire players out and unfair distribution of commercial value. By moving to TTBL, he can still compete with world-class players from different countries to keep his skills sharp. At the same time, he hopes to learn from Europe’s professional league experience to help develop China’s table tennis league in the future. Fan’s journey in TTBL hasn’t been easy. In his first match on August 31, 2025, he lost two games in a row to Ruiz and Duda. But he didn’t give up. He worked hard to improve his receiving skills and quickly got used to the league’s style. Soon, his winning rate rose to an amazing 80%, and he ended the first phase with 4 wins and 3 losses. His excellent performance made him popular—tickets for his first match sold out in just 3 minutes, and his team’s social media gained thousands of new followers. Even TTBL honored him by putting him on the homepage of its 60th anniversary celebration, calling him a “key force for global development.” Fan Zhendong’s story shows that facing new challenges bravely and learning from difficulties can lead to growth. Whether on the court or in life, his spirit of perseverance encourages young people to keep moving forward. 1．What does TTBL stand for? A．Table Tennis Big League B．German Table Tennis Bundesliga C．World Table Tennis League D．Chinese Table Tennis Bundesliga 2．Why did Fan Zhendong join TTBL? ①To avoid international competitions completely ②To compete with top players and keep his form ③To learn experience for China’s table tennis league ④To get more commercial value from matches A．①② B．②③ C．③④ D．①④ 3．What happened in Fan Zhendong’s first TTBL match? A．He won all his games easily. B．He lost two games in a row. C．He set a new league record. D．He quit because of injury. 4．What’s the main idea of the passage? A．The development of TTBL and its influence B．How to become a successful table tennis player C．Fan Zhendong’s new challenge in TTBL and his spirit D．Fan Zhendong’s complaints about international competitions If you look up in a forest, you may notice something really interesting: the tops of trees don’t actually touch each other. There are few gaps between them, and you can even see the sky through these breaks. This is called “crown shyness (树冠羞避).” Meg Lowman, a tree expert, explains that it’s a tree’s way to stay healthy. Trees are always fighting with each other for sunlight and water. By keeping a certain distance from each other, they reduce the chance of losing leaves when they brush against neighbouring trees. Leaves are very important, as they help trees get sunlight and water. Also, just like we stay away from sick people, trees keep their leaves from touching other trees. This helps stop harmful insects and diseases from spreading. “Tree sicknesses can come from insects or even be the insects themselves,” Lowman says. “By separating themselves from others, trees protect themselves like we do when we keep our distance from sick people.” Crown shyness mostly happens in tropical (热带的) trees, but the lessons are also true for other trees. Trees with more space grow bigger and stronger. Lowman says we should take good care of trees, just like we take care of a rose garden. Healthy trees give us better shade, and they clean the water better. “The healthier the forest, the more benefits the owner will get,” says Lowman. “When a tree gets sick, don’t just cut it down. Trees support many living things like insects and birds,” the expert adds. So next time you see trees, remember: they teach us to be good neighbours. 1．How does the author tell us the trees’ way to stay healthy? A．By telling a story. B．By listing numbers. C．By asking questions. D．By giving an example. 2．Why do trees keep their leaves from touching other trees? A．Trees are always fighting for sunlight and water, so they grow taller. B．Trees should be kept at a distance from sick people. C．Trees need to stay away from insects and diseases. D．Trees grow bigger and stronger in tropical areas. 3．What does the underlined word “shade” mean? A．Cover. B．Wood. C．Advice. D．Energy. 4．What could we possibly learn from trees’ crown shyness? A．Keep everyone healthy by sharing space wisely. B．Take good care of a rose garden and sick trees. C．Go to the forests and find something interesting. D．Try to be good neighbours wherever you are. Ping-pong has been played for many years and is popular around the world. The sport is beginner-friendly. But it also keeps a rich level of competitive play. However, it’s difficult for blind people to experience the joy of this sport. Phoebe Peng, an engineering student in Australia, invented a new system to help the blind play ping-pong using sound. She installed (安装) cameras and loudspeakers on sides of a traditional ping-pong table. As the cameras tracked (追踪) the movement of the ball, a computer program changed that information into sound, which was played through the loudspeakers. The blind players could use the sound to know the ball’s location, and then they could return the ball fast and correctly. Peng showed her work on December 6 at the Acoustics 2023 Sydney. It was held from December 4 to December 8 at the International Convention Center Sydney. Although this system worked well, Peng said, “More study is needed before it can be ready for actual play.” “A challenge is the matter of human perception (感知) of sound,” said Peng. “What kind of sound should be used? Should the sound be continuous? These are problems we are facing now, but I am sure we can solve them in the near future.” 1．The underlined phrase “this sport” refers to “________”. A．tennis B．basketball C．ping-pong 2．How did the blind players know where the ping-pong ball was? A．By imagining the movement of the ball. B．By talking to the speakers of the computer. C．By listening to the sound from the loudspeakers. 3．When did the Acoustics 2023 Sydney end? A．On December 8. B．On December 6. C．On December 5. 4．What does the passage mainly talk about? A．A sport that is very popular all over the world. B．A system invented to help the blind play ping-pong. C．A science and technology meeting held in Australia. ①Keeping good relationships can sometimes be difficult. At some point during your school days, you might find yourself facing problems with your friends or teachers. Here is some advice about how you can deal with these problems in a positive way. ②Don’t lose your temper (脾气). Disagreements can happen when there are different points of view. When faced with a disagreement, we often find ourselves getting angry and shouting at each other. This is not a good way to deal with the situation. If you want to settle a disagreement, stay calm (冷静的) and try to be polite to the other person. Anger is a natural feeling, but it is also something you must control if you want to learn responsibility. ③Listen to others. Disagreements often happen when people are selfish (自私的) and do not listen to each other. Before you disagree, make sure you have listened carefully to the other person and have understood what he or she is saying. Then, give your own opinion clearly and calmly. If communication (交流) is open and free, a disagreement does not have to become an argument (争论). ④Talk to your teachers and counsellors (辅导员). Do not be afraid to ask your teachers and counsellors for advice. For example, bullying is not allowed because no one has the right to force others to do something. If you are facing this problem or know another student who is, tell a teacher or counsellor immediately. They can help you find a solution. ⑤Just try these easy and useful ways. You’ll build nicer relationships and enjoy a happier and more wonderful school life every day. 1．How many suggestions does the author give us? A．Two. B．Three. C．Four. D．Five. 2．What does the underlined word “settle” mean in Paragraph 2? A．think of B．hold out C．work out D．look for 3．According to the text, one way to deal with different opinions between people is ________. A．to become angry B．to communicate C．to shout at each other loudly D．to tell your teacher immediately 4．How is the text organized? (①=Paragraph 1; ②=Paragraph 2…) A． B． C． D． ①A bell rings at 7 p.m every evening in Mohityache Avadgaon village, in India, telling people that it is time for everyone to turn off screen devices (设备), like televisions and mobile phones. At 8:30 p.m, the bell rings the second time, telling the 3,000 villagers that screen-free time (无屏幕时间) is over. The leaders of the village introduced it so that young people could focus on their homework and not be influenced by funny videos or phone messages. However, some say that a screen simply allows people to get information—it is not harmful in itself. A person can decide for themselves when to put down a device. So should you set limits (限制) on screen time? ②Yes—screen time should be limited! ③Phones, computers and TV are great ways for getting information and lots of fun. ________ Even if people are chatting on their phone or playing online games together, they can still feel lonely. Screen-free time means people can connect with family and friends in the real world. It’s also a great chance for people to go outside and be active, which is good for their health. Too much screen time can lead to other problems, such as not sleeping properly and being short on creativity. ④No—people can manage their screen time! ⑤Through devices like phones and computers, people can find answers to many questions. Screen time can be productive—you can read great works of literature (文学), discover wonderful facts or read about important things happening in the world. It is great for homework and curious minds. Electronic devices also allow friends and family to stay in touch.

ChatGPT has come out in recent times. Developed by Open AI, it is a large language model that has the ability to produce human-like text responses. ChatGPT has become very popular in the education field recently. A survey in the US showed that more than 1,000 students were asked, and over 89% of them had used ChatGPT to do their homework. Because of this, some schools in the US, Australia and France have taken action to ban (禁止) the use of ChatGPT. For example, in the US, New York public schools don’t allow students and teachers to use it. When a student is stuck on a difficult math problem or a historical event, ChatGPT can offer step-by-step solutions or descriptions. At the same time, it has also raised concerns as some students might use it to cheat on tasks and exams, weakening the learning process. There are students who just use ChatGPT to finish their homework without thinking by themselves. However, teachers are also finding ways to deal with this problem. Some college teachers in the US are changing the forms of homework and exams. They are adding speaking homework and asking students to write more by hand, so that students won’t rely on ChatGPT. Interestingly, not all educators are against using ChatGPT. Some Canadian universities are making rules about how to use it for both students and teachers. They haven’t decided to completely ban the tool yet.    Bhaskar Vira from the University of Cambridge thinks that banning AI software like ChatGPT is not a good idea. He said that we should know AI is a tool that people will use and we need to change our learning, teaching and exam methods. ChatGPT has opened up new possibilities and discussions about the future of AI and its role in our lives. In fact, the rise of ChatGPT has made educators think deeply about how to balance (平衡) the convenience it brings and prevent improper use. Different measures reflect (反映) different attitudes, but the key is to make sure students can learn usefully and develop real skills in this new technological period. 1．Why have some schools in the US banned the use of ChatGPT? A．Because it takes the place of teachers. B．Because it can be smarter than humans. C．Because it provides incorrect information. D．Because it may be used by students to cheat on homework. 2．How many of them approximately (大约) have used it if there were 1,200 students surveyed? A．1,000 B．1,068 C．1,100 D．1,150 3．What did some college teachers in the US do to avoid the use of ChatGPT? A．They suggested laws to ban the use of ChatGPT. B．They changed the forms of homework and exams. C．They stopped the students from using the Internet. D．They asked the students to hand in typed homework. 4．What can we infer from the passage? A．ChatGPT is useless in the education field. B．Parents are strongly against the use of ChatGPT. C．Students are not allowed to use ChatGPT for their homework. D．Some educators think it’s better to make good use of ChatGPT rather than simply stop using it. 5．What’s the structure of the article? (P=paragraph) A． B． C． D． Libraries around the world still keep old books hundreds of years old. But will we be able to read today’s digital books in hundreds of years? Librarians are worried. Even now, we can’t open some files (文件) from 20 or 25 years ago. Will our digital works be lost in a digital black hole? Will we face the loss of valuable information? Technology is changing fast. Old ways of keeping information are gone now, or they are no longer supported by new technology. For example, many people used floppy discs (软盘) to save files years ago, but today few machines can open them. Also, millions of songs and music pieces were saved on tapes or CDs, but now most old music players no longer work. Another problem is that websites often change or close down, and all the information on them can fall into the digital black hole. Books, however, are quite easy to keep. We don’t need special tools or technology to read them. If you keep them in a dry and safe place, they will stay safe for a long time. Li Shizhen’s great medical book Ben Cao Gang Mu came out in 1593. Amazingly, three copies from the first printing still survive (保存) today. That’s not bad for a book more than 400 years old. Today, to some researchers, printed books remain a safe way to keep information. In 2014, a professional group began to raise money to print a famous online encyclopedia (百科全书) into 1,000 books. This would make sure that even if digital technology fails, the knowledge can still be kept. For now, when it comes to storing information, printed copies seem to be the safest choice. However, future technology might develop and provide new ways to solve the problem of the digital black hole. Time will tell. 1．The writer asks questions in the beginning ________. A．to show the large number of books B．to ask more information about digital books C．to draw readers’ attention to the topic discussed D．to change the worrying situation in libraries around the world 2．What happens if our digital works fall into a digital black hole? A．They are carefully kept. B．They cannot be understood. C．They cannot be read or reached. D．They are saved in a wrong place. 3．What is Paragraph 2 mainly about? A．How music players are developing. B．How technology is changing over time. C．Why old machines are no longer used today. D．Why technology may cause information loss. 4．Why does the writer mention Ben Cao Gang Mu? A．To discuss why this book is still important. B．To show printed books can last for a long time. C．To explain how easy it is to keep printed books. D．To tell when the earliest printed book came out. 5．What would the writer most probably agree with? A．Libraries should keep more digital books. B．Digital books are less valuable than printed ones. C．Technology is still looking for better ways to keep information. D．Technology will soon solve the problem of the digital black hole. Should Students Have Part-time Jobs?   In many countries, teenagers take part-time jobs to earn pocket money. However, opinions are divided on whether Chinese students should do the same.   Supporters say that a part-time job teaches time management. “When I worked in a bookshop last summer, I learned to plan my day carefully,” says 15-year-old Zhang Qi. Jobs can also help students discover their interests. Liu Mei, who helped in a pet hospital, realised she wanted to be a vet in the future. Moreover, earning one’s own money builds confidence.   On the other hand, opponents worry about safety. Some employers may hire students illegally and make them work long hours. Another concern is grades. “After I started tutoring a pupil on weekends, my maths score dropped by 15 points,” admits Li Hao. Finally, some parents fear that early contact with money may make children materialistic.   In my view, students can take jobs as long as three rules are followed: the work must be safe and legal; the time should not exceed eight hours a week; and parents and teachers must give guidance. With these conditions, part-time jobs can become valuable “social classrooms”. 1．What is the passage mainly about? A．How to find a suitable part-time job. B．Different views on students’ part-time jobs. C．The history of part-time work for teens. D．A list of safe part-time jobs for students. 2．Why does the writer mention Zhang Qi? A．To show jobs improve time-management skills. B．To prove bookshops are the best workplace. C．To explain why grades may drop. D．To encourage students to open bookshops. 3．Which of the following is an opponent’s opinion? A．Jobs help students discover interests. B．Working experience builds confidence. C．Long working hours may harm study. D．Earning money teaches independence. 4．What does the writer probably agree with? A．All students should work in pet hospitals. B．Part-time jobs are bad for teenagers. C．Grades matter more than work experience. D．Safe and limited jobs can benefit teens. ①For teenagers, rules are everywhere—in families, schools, and even communities. But have you ever wondered why rules are so important for your growth? Let’s explore this by looking at different kinds of rules and their roles. ②Family rules are like “safety nets” for teens. For example, “don’t go out alone after 9 p.m.” protects teens from danger, and “share housework” teaches them responsibility. These rules don’t just keep teens safe; they also help build a warm family. When teens follow family rules, parents feel more at ease, and teens learn to care for others. ③School rules, on the other hand, are the “foundation” of a good learning environment. “Listen to teachers in class” helps everyone focus on lessons, and “no fighting with classmates” keeps the school peaceful. Without these rules, classrooms would be noisy, and no one could learn well. Teachers often say that school rules are not to “punish” teens, but to make sure everyone can learn and grow fairly. ④Community rules also play a part. “Don’t litter (丢垃圾) in the park” keeps public places clean, and “follow traffic rules when riding bikes” prevents accidents. These rules teach teens to respect public spaces and other people. ⑤Some teens may complain that rules are “annoying”, but in fact, rules are not there to limit you—they are there to guide you. Good rules help teens become responsible, respectful, and safe. That’s why rules are an important part of growing up. 1．What does the family rule “share housework” help teens learn? A．How to communicate. B．Responsibility. C．How to make friends. D．How to study better. 2．School rules are made to __________. A．limit teens B．punish teens for their mistakes C．help each other D．help teens learn and grow fairly 3．Which of the following is a community rule? A． B． C． D． 4．What’s the writer’s main purpose of writing this passage? A．To teach parents how to make rules. B．To show the students all the rules. C．To advise the students to follow the rules. D．To make good rules for teenagers. 5．What’s the best structure of the passage? (①= Para. 1   ②= Para. 2   ③= Para. 3   ④= Para. 4   ⑤= Para. 5) A． B． C． D． 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20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 应用文,时文/广告/布告,推理判断,细节理解 2 适中 应用文,时文/广告/布告,环境保护 3 较易 工作与职业,应用文 4 较易 守则,应用文,时文/广告/布告 5 较易 社团/俱乐部,应用文,时文/广告/布告 6 较易 记叙文,奇闻轶事 7 适中 记叙文,其他人,哲理感悟 8 适中 记叙文,文学名著 9 适中 记叙文,叙事忆旧,哲理感悟,最佳标题,词句猜测,推理判断,细节理解 10 较易 微信/微博/短视频,记叙文,人与动植物 11 适中 科普知识,说明文,植物 12 较易 说明文,体育名人,主旨大意,细节理解 13 较易 说明文,植物 14 较易 说明文,发明与创造 15 适中 说明文,方法/策略,意见/建议 16 适中 信息技术,议论文,篇章结构,词句猜测,主旨大意,推理判断,细节理解 17 适中 信息技术,教育,议论文 18 适中 科普知识,科学技术,议论文 19 适中 议论文,青少年问题 20 适中 守则,议论文 MUSIC FESTIVAL Enjoy days of music and performances!

If so, is it a big bear? Is it a monkey? Or is it a kind of man? No one knows. This mystery has puzzled (困惑) the world for years. In 1887, a mountain climber found large footsteps (脚印) in the snow. They looked like the footsteps of a very large man. But men couldn’t walk without shoes in the snow! In 1906, another climber saw more footsteps. He saw a very large animal standing on two legs. As he watched, it ran away very quickly. Fifteen years later, a newspaper had new stories about the “something”. A mountain climber said he had seen the “snowman” walk slowly in the snow. He said it looked like a very large man. From then on, more and more people had stories to tell. But not until 1951 did a mountain climber bring back the pictures of large footsteps. The pictures showed clearly that the snowman walked on two legs. So it was not a bear or a monkey. Could it be an ape-man (猿人)? And the mystery keeps growing. Someday, we may find out just what it is that makes the largest footsteps. 1．What did the second climber see in 1906? A．A special bear. B．A very large animal standing on two legs. C．An ugly monkey. D．A man walking slowly in the snow. 2．What can we know from the text? A．People have already found out what makes the largest footsteps. B．The snowman walks on four legs. C．The mystery of what makes the large footsteps is still not solved. D．The large footsteps must be made by an ape-man. 3．What is the best title (标题) for the text?

We were the only family with a baby in the restaurant. Suddenly, my baby, Erik, became excited when we were enjoying our meal. I looked around and saw an old man with old clothes and dirty old shoes. His hair was unwashed. He was smiling at my Erik. “He might hurt my Erik,” I thought. Everyone in the restaurant looked at us and the old man. Then we decided to leave. The old man sat between the door and us. As I walked closer to the man, I turned my back. Suddenly, Erik leaned (倾斜) over my arms, reaching with both arms in a baby’s pick-me-up position. Before I could stop him, Erik had escaped (挣脱) from my arms to the man’s. Soon, the very old, dirty man and my young baby developed a kind of friendship. Erik put his little hand on the man’s face, and I saw the old man close his eyes and tears run down his face. His aged hands held my baby so gently. A moment later, the old man opened his eyes, passed me my baby and said, “Thank you, Madam. You’ve given me the best Christmas gift.” I cried, with my face burning hot. A child saw a soul (灵魂), but a mother saw only a kind of clothes. 1．What did the writer think of the old man at first? A．Terrible. B．Friendly. C．Impossible. D．Wise. 2．Why did the family decide to leave the restaurant? A．They had finished the meal already. B．They had some important things to do. C．They thought the food there was bad.

Although his life was hard, he had always been about to paint a masterpiece, but had never yet begun it. He made little money by serving as a model to the young artists who could not pay the price of a professional. Among those young artists are Sue and Johnsy. One day, Sue told Behrman the serious illness of Johnsy. As she lay in bed, she would watch the ivy leaves (常春藤叶) fall from the old vine (藤蔓) outside her window. “When the last leaf falls,” Sue said in a low voice. “She said that she shall go, too.” “Foolishness!” Behrman shouted. “Someday I will paint a masterpiece and we shall live a life of success. Got it!” At night, they paid a visit to Johnsy. She was sleeping at that time. Inside her room, they looked out of the window fearfully at the last leaf on the vine. A cold rain was falling, mixed with snow. The drops were beating heavily against the shaking leaf. Johnsy woke up the next morning. She found the leaf was still on the vine, brave and green against the gray wall. Another night passed, stormy and cold, but the leaf still survived (幸存). Not long after, the doctor said Johnsy was out of danger. However, old Behrman passed away because of pneumonia (肺炎). And that afternoon, Sue came to Johnsy’s bed. “I have something to tell you, Miss Johnsy,” she said. “Mr. Behrman had been ill for only two days. When he was found by the janitor (门卫), he was helpless with pain. His shoes and clothes were all wet through and icy cold. And then a lantern, still lighted, a ladder and some brushes with green and yellow colors were found. Look out the window, dear, at the last ivy leaf on the wall. Didn’t you wonder why it never moved when the wind blew?” — Adapted from The Last Leaf by O. Henry 1．How did Behrman make money? A．By helping young artists clean houses.

B．The doctor’s care was what saved Johnsy at last. C．Behrman died after going out on the stormy night. D．A masterpiece helped save a life and achieve a dream. 【答案】1．B 2．C 3．B 4．D 【导语】本文改编自欧・亨利《最后一片叶子》的故事，讲述落魄画家贝尔曼为拯救失去生存希望的琼西，在暴风雨夜画出一片“永不凋零的常春藤叶”，最终琼西康复、贝尔曼却病逝的温情故事。 1．细节理解题。根据文章“He made little money by serving as a model to the young artists”可知，贝尔曼通过给年轻艺术家当模特赚钱，故选B。 2．推理判断题。根据“Although his life was hard, he had always been about to paint a masterpiece”可知，贝尔曼虽生活困顿，却始终期待画出杰作，说明他充满希望；根据“His shoes and clothes were all wet through and icy cold...”可知，他冒着风雨画叶子拯救琼西，说明他是善良的。因此“充满希望且善良”符合他的形象，故选C。 3．细节理解题。故事的高潮是“Another night passed, stormy and cold, but the leaf still survived.”，这一情节让琼西重燃生存希望，是故事的核心转折点，故选B。 4．推理判断题。贝尔曼画的“最后一片叶子”既是他的杰作，又拯救了琼西的生命，同时实现了他“画出杰作”的梦想，因此“一件杰作拯救了生命、实现了梦想”符合故事结局的内涵，故选D。 I’m not a fan of patchwork quilts (拼布被子). Surprisingly, however, there is a small patchwork quilt in my home. This quilt originally (最初) belonged to my mother. She once joined a weekly book club with some women from the neighborhood. In fact, it was more of an excuse to get together and drink coffee. One of the ladies, Emily, made my mother a small quilt. For years, this quilt sat folded (折叠的) in my mom’s living room. It went with her when she moved to a small room at an assisted living facility (辅助生活机构). I never saw my mother use it throughout all those years. During one of my visits, I asked her why she kept it. She said it was a gift from Emily. I questioned further, as she was not so close to Emily and did not even like the quilt’s design. Her response remained the same: “Because it was from Emily.” After thinking this over for several days, I realized that the quilt’s value didn’t lie in its appearance or in its maker. It was special because it reminded my mom of being a good neighbor and caring for each other. I inherited (继承) the quilt more than ten years ago, and it has remained folded on a shelf ever since. My plan is to one day gift it to my daughter, and I hope she will keep it. Patchwork quilts carry stories. The tales we share about our experiences turn everyday things into something special. 1．Why did the writer’s mother join the book club? A．To write her own book. B．To learn how to make coffee. C．To discuss her favorite books. D．To get together with her neighbors. 2．What does the underlined sentence “Her response remained the same: ‘Because it was from Emily’” show? A．The quilt was very expensive. B．Mom loved the quilt’s design a lot. C．Mom valued the gift from Emily. D．Emily was Mom’s best friend since childhood. 3．Which word best describes the stories behind things like patchwork quilts? A．Boring. B．Meaningful. C．Common. D．Surprising. 4．What is the best title for the text? A．A Special Gift Made with Care B．A Useless Quilt from My Mom C．The Unforgettable Story of Emily D．My Mom’s Book Club Memories 【答案】1．D 2．C 3．B 4．A 【导语】本文通过讲述母亲保留一条拼布被子的故事，表明了礼物背后的情感价值——它不仅是物品，更是邻里情谊与关怀的象征，承载着人与人之间的温暖回忆。 1．细节理解题。根据“She once joined a weekly book club with some women from the neighborhood. In fact, it was more of an excuse to get together and drink coffee.”可知，母亲加入读书俱乐部主要是为了和邻居们聚会。故选D。 2．词句猜测题。根据“Because it was from Emily”以及“I realized that the quilt’s value didn’t lie in its appearance or in its maker. It was special because it reminded my mom of being a good neighbor and caring for each other.”可知母亲多次强调被子来自Emily，作者后来意识到被子的价值不在于它的外观或制造者，它很特别，因为它让我妈妈想起了做一个好邻居和互相照顾，由此可推断，母亲珍视的是Emily赠礼的情谊。故选C。 3．推理判断题。根据“Patchwork quilts carry stories. The tales we share about our experiences turn everyday things into something special.”可知，拼布被子背后的故事让普通物品变得特别，因此这些故事是“有意义的”。故选B。 4．最佳标题题。本文通过讲述母亲保留一条拼布被子的故事，表明了礼物背后的情感价值——它不仅是物品，更是邻里情谊与关怀的象征，承载着人与人之间的温暖回忆，以选项A“一份用心制作的特别礼物”为标题最合适。故选A。 Recently, a video has become very popular online. It shows a visitor is letting Ding Ding, a famous chimpanzee (黑猩猩) at Shanghai Wild Animal Park, look at her phone. In the video, a visitor puts a phone on the glass wall. The phone plays loud music and Ding Ding looks closely at the screen. His face sometimes touches the glass wall while he focuses on the phone. A sign next to the glass wall clearly writes: “STOP! STOP! Do not show me your phone.” When asked about the video, a staff member of the park said, “It’s hard to say whether he is addicted or not.” The staff said they ask people not to show phones to Ding Ding because it might hurt his health. The staff further explained that letting Ding Ding look at phone screens for too long might hurt his eyes. “If his eyes get hurt, he can’t tell us or wear glasses like humans. Bad eyesight (视力) might make him stressed and lead to other health problems.” For Ding Ding’s health, the park urges visitors not to show him their phones—though taking photos is still allowed. Staff members will stop people who show videos to the chimp. 1．What is Paragraph 2 mainly about? A．How Ding Ding reacts to the phone. B．Why visitors show phones to Ding Ding.

His face sometimes touches the glass wall while he focuses on the phone.”可知，该段主要描述了丁丁对手机的反应。故选A。 2．词句猜测题。根据“‘It’s hard to say whether he is addicted or not.’ The staff said they ask people not to show phones to Ding Ding because it might hurt his health.”可知，工作人员也很难说丁丁是否会对手机产生依赖、无法自控。选项C“无法停止做某事”最符合文意。故选C。 3．细节理解题。根据“Bad eyesight (视力) might make him stressed and lead to other health problems.”可知，视力变差可能会让丁丁感到焦虑。故选D。 Is it true that plants release (释放) CO₂ during the night and that I should not have one in my bedroom? You are correct. Plants do release CO₂ at night, although they also release CO₂ during the day. This is a part of the breathing process! First, you should know that during the day, when there is enough sunlight, plants run a process called photosynthesis (光合作用). This is where they use CO₂, water and sunlight to produce sugar to be used as food. To use the sugar that plants make through photosynthesis, they need to change the sugar into energy. This process is called breathing. Breathing releases energy from the plant’s sugar, and as a part of this process the plant releases CO₂ and water. So this is where the CO₂ comes from. Unlike photosynthesis which can only be carried out in the green parts of the plant, like the leaves and stems (茎), breathing can go throughout the plant. It is also a process that is happening all of the time, during both the day and the night! Please do not worry, although plants are in the room. Humans also release CO₂ when we breathe out. One plant is not going to release as much CO₂ as one sleeping person. If we can safely share a room with our partners, we can surely share a room with our plants! Plants are really good for our health. It has been shown that being with nature can reduce negative (负面的) feelings and increase positive (积极的) feelings. Caring for plants can be very relaxing and it can be an experience of success to see something that you look after grow. Because of that, I’d like you to have one in your bedroom. 根据材料内容选择最佳答案。 1．How did the writer start this article? A．By asking a question. B．By using a saying. C．By making a survey. D．By expressing an opinion. 2．What do plants turn CO₂, water and sunlight into by photosynthesis? A．Energy. B．Leaves. C．Fruit. D．Sugar. 3．Which parts of the body does a plant breathe through? A．The green parts. B．The roots and flowers. C．The whole body. D．The roots. 4．Why does the writer suggest having a plant in your bedroom? A．Because plants use sunlight to turn water and CO₂ into O₂ and sugar. B．Because taking care of plants makes one feel relaxed and successful. C．Because plants breathe all day and night. D．Because a plant can only release as much CO₂ as one sleeping person. 5．What is the best title for the article? A．Have a plant in the bedroom? B．What is photosynthesis? C．Are plants good for us at night? D．How plants breathe? 【答案】1．A 2．D 3．C 4．B 5．A 【导语】本文围绕“卧室是否适合摆放植物”这一问题展开论述，说明植物呼吸特点，建议摆放并给出理由。 1．细节理解题。根据“Is it true that plants release CO₂ during the night and that I should not have one in my bedroom?”可知，作者是以一个问题开始本文的。故选A。 2．细节理解题。根据“during the day, when there is enough sunlight, plants run a process called photosynthesis.

Because of that, I’d like you to have one in your bedroom.”可知，作者建议在卧室放植物是因为照顾植物能让人感到放松和有成就感。故选B。 5．最佳标题题。通读全文内容可知，文章主要讨论了植物晚上会释放二氧化碳，但是还是建议人们在卧室放植物，围绕“是否要在卧室放植物”展开。故选A。 Fan Zhendong, one of China’s top table tennis players, started a new chapter in his career after the 2024 Paris Olympics. He joined TTBL (German Table Tennis Bundesliga), the top professional table tennis league in Germany, instead of staying in international competitions like WTT. Why did he make this choice? For years, Fan has spoken out about problems in international events, such as too many matches that tire players out and unfair distribution of commercial value. By moving to TTBL, he can still compete with world-class players from different countries to keep his skills sharp. At the same time, he hopes to learn from Europe’s professional league experience to help develop China’s table tennis league in the future. Fan’s journey in TTBL hasn’t been easy. In his first match on August 31, 2025, he lost two games in a row to Ruiz and Duda. But he didn’t give up. He worked hard to improve his receiving skills and quickly got used to the league’s style. Soon, his winning rate rose to an amazing 80%, and he ended the first phase with 4 wins and 3 losses. His excellent performance made him popular—tickets for his first match sold out in just 3 minutes, and his team’s social media gained thousands of new followers. Even TTBL honored him by putting him on the homepage of its 60th anniversary celebration, calling him a “key force for global development.” Fan Zhendong’s story shows that facing new challenges bravely and learning from difficulties can lead to growth.

There are few gaps between them, and you can even see the sky through these breaks. This is called “crown shyness (树冠羞避).” Meg Lowman, a tree expert, explains that it’s a tree’s way to stay healthy. Trees are always fighting with each other for sunlight and water. By keeping a certain distance from each other, they reduce the chance of losing leaves when they brush against neighbouring trees. Leaves are very important, as they help trees get sunlight and water. Also, just like we stay away from sick people, trees keep their leaves from touching other trees. This helps stop harmful insects and diseases from spreading. “Tree sicknesses can come from insects or even be the insects themselves,” Lowman says. “By separating themselves from others, trees protect themselves like we do when we keep our distance from sick people.” Crown shyness mostly happens in tropical (热带的) trees, but the lessons are also true for other trees. Trees with more space grow bigger and stronger. Lowman says we should take good care of trees, just like we take care of a rose garden. Healthy trees give us better shade, and they clean the water better. “The healthier the forest, the more benefits the owner will get,” says Lowman. “When a tree gets sick, don’t just cut it down. Trees support many living things like insects and birds,” the expert adds. So next time you see trees, remember: they teach us to be good neighbours. 1．How does the author tell us the trees’ way to stay healthy? A．By telling a story. B．By listing numbers. C．By asking questions. D．By giving an example. 2．Why do trees keep their leaves from touching other trees? A．Trees are always fighting for sunlight and water, so they grow taller. B．Trees should be kept at a distance from sick people. C．Trees need to stay away from insects and diseases. D．Trees grow bigger and stronger in tropical areas. 3．What does the underlined word “shade” mean? A．Cover. B．Wood. C．Advice. D．Energy. 4．What could we possibly learn from trees’ crown shyness? A．Keep everyone healthy by sharing space wisely. B．Take good care of a rose garden and sick trees. C．Go to the forests and find something interesting. D．Try to be good neighbours wherever you are. 【答案】1．D 2．C 3．A 4．D 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了“树冠羞避”现象及其对树木健康的意义，并引申到人类应学习树木的相处之道。 1．细节理解题。根据“Meg Lowman, a tree expert, explains that it’s a tree’s way to stay healthy…”至段末，作者通过树冠羞避的具体例子说明树木保持健康的方式。故选D。 2．细节理解题。根据“Also, just like we stay away from sick people, trees keep their leaves from touching other trees.

The sport is beginner-friendly. But it also keeps a rich level of competitive play. However, it’s difficult for blind people to experience the joy of this sport. Phoebe Peng, an engineering student in Australia, invented a new system to help the blind play ping-pong using sound. She installed (安装) cameras and loudspeakers on sides of a traditional ping-pong table. As the cameras tracked (追踪) the movement of the ball, a computer program changed that information into sound, which was played through the loudspeakers. The blind players could use the sound to know the ball’s location, and then they could return the ball fast and correctly. Peng showed her work on December 6 at the Acoustics 2023 Sydney. It was held from December 4 to December 8 at the International Convention Center Sydney. Although this system worked well, Peng said, “More study is needed before it can be ready for actual play.” “A challenge is the matter of human perception (感知) of sound,” said Peng. “What kind of sound should be used? Should the sound be continuous? These are problems we are facing now, but I am sure we can solve them in the near future.” 1．The underlined phrase “this sport” refers to “________”. A．tennis B．basketball C．ping-pong 2．How did the blind players know where the ping-pong ball was? A．By imagining the movement of the ball. B．By talking to the speakers of the computer. C．By listening to the sound from the loudspeakers. 3．When did the Acoustics 2023 Sydney end? A．On December 8. B．On December 6. C．On December 5. 4．What does the passage mainly talk about? A．A sport that is very popular all over the world. B．A system invented to help the blind play ping-pong. C．A science and technology meeting held in Australia. 【答案】1．C 2．C 3．A 4．B 【导语】本文主要介绍了Phoebe Peng为帮助盲人通过声音打乒乓球而发明的系统及其原理与挑战。 1．词句猜测题。根据“Ping-pong has been played for many years... But it’s difficult for blind people to experience the joy of this sport.”可知，“this sport”指代上文的“ping-pong”。故选C。 2．细节理解题。根据“The blind players could use the sound to know the ball’s location…”及该段描述的系统原理可知，盲人通过扬声器声音判断球的位置。故选C。 3．细节理解题。根据“It was held from December 4 to December 8…”可知，会议于12月8日结束。故选A。 4．主旨大意题。文章核心内容是介绍助盲乒乓球系统的发明、原理与挑战，故主要讲述“一项为帮助盲人打乒乓球而发明的系统”。故选B。 ①Keeping good relationships can sometimes be difficult. At some point during your school days, you might find yourself facing problems with your friends or teachers. Here is some advice about how you can deal with these problems in a positive way. ②Don’t lose your temper (脾气). Disagreements can happen when there are different points of view. When faced with a disagreement, we often find ourselves getting angry and shouting at each other. This is not a good way to deal with the situation. If you want to settle a disagreement, stay calm (冷静的) and try to be polite to the other person. Anger is a natural feeling, but it is also something you must control if you want to learn responsibility. ③Listen to others. Disagreements often happen when people are selfish (自私的) and do not listen to each other. Before you disagree, make sure you have listened carefully to the other person and have understood what he or she is saying. Then, give your own opinion clearly and calmly. If communication (交流) is open and free, a disagreement does not have to become an argument (争论). ④Talk to your teachers and counsellors (辅导员). Do not be afraid to ask your teachers and counsellors for advice. For example, bullying is not allowed because no one has the right to force others to do something. If you are facing this problem or know another student who is, tell a teacher or counsellor immediately. They can help you find a solution. ⑤Just try these easy and useful ways. You’ll build nicer relationships and enjoy a happier and more wonderful school life every day. 1．How many suggestions does the author give us? A．Two. B．Three. C．Four.

At 8:30 p.m, the bell rings the second time, telling the 3,000 villagers that screen-free time (无屏幕时间) is over. The leaders of the village introduced it so that young people could focus on their homework and not be influenced by funny videos or phone messages. However, some say that a screen simply allows people to get information—it is not harmful in itself. A person can decide for themselves when to put down a device. So should you set limits (限制) on screen time? ②Yes—screen time should be limited! ③Phones, computers and TV are great ways for getting information and lots of fun. ________ Even if people are chatting on their phone or playing online games together, they can still feel lonely. Screen-free time means people can connect with family and friends in the real world. It’s also a great chance for people to go outside and be active, which is good for their health. Too much screen time can lead to other problems, such as not sleeping properly and being short on creativity. ④No—people can manage their screen time! ⑤Through devices like phones and computers, people can find answers to many questions. Screen time can be productive—you can read great works of literature (文学), discover wonderful facts or read about important things happening in the world. It is great for homework and curious minds. Electronic devices also allow friends and family to stay in touch. So, people should be free to judge for themselves how much screen time they should have. ⑥Now that you’ve read a lot about it, tell us what you think on the website the weekiunior.co.uk/polls. Choose YES if you think screen time should be limited, or NO if you don’t. We’ll show the results next week. 1．What’s the structure of the passage?

Screen-free time means people can connect with family and friends in the real world.”可知，即使人们一起在手机上聊天或玩网络游戏，他们仍然会感到孤独，无屏幕时间意味着人们可以在现实世界中与家人和朋友联系。由此可推断，上文应提到屏幕时间也有不好的一面，与B选项“但它也有一些不好的方面”相符。故选B。 3．细节理解题。根据“Screen-free time means people can connect with family and friends in the real world. It’s also a great chance for people to go outside and be active, which is good for their health.”可知，无屏幕时间意味着人们可以在现实世界中与家人和朋友联系，也是人们外出活动的好机会，对健康有好处。因此，a“让人们与现实世界联系”和d“让人们外出并保持健康”是无屏幕时间的好处。故选A。 4．词句猜测题。根据“you can read great works of literature, discover wonderful facts or read about important things happening in the world. It is great for homework and curious minds.”可知，你可以阅读伟大的文学作品，发现奇妙的事实或阅读世界上正在发生的重要事情，这对作业和好奇心都很有好处。由此可推断，屏幕时间可以是富有成效的，即可以做或实现很多事情。因此，“productive”意为“做或实现很多”。故选C。 5．主旨大意题。根据“Now that you’ve read a lot about it, tell us what you think on the website the weekiunior.co.uk/polls. Choose YES if you think screen time should be limited, or NO if you don’t. We’ll show the results next week.”可知，作者写这篇文章的目的是收集关于是否应该减少屏幕时间的看法。故选D。 ChatGPT has come out in recent times. Developed by Open AI, it is a large language model that has the ability to produce human-like text responses. ChatGPT has become very popular in the education field recently. A survey in the US showed that more than 1,000 students were asked, and over 89% of them had used ChatGPT to do their homework. Because of this, some schools in the US, Australia and France have taken action to ban (禁止) the use of ChatGPT. For example, in the US, New York public schools don’t allow students and teachers to use it. When a student is stuck on a difficult math problem or a historical event, ChatGPT can offer step-by-step solutions or descriptions. At the same time, it has also raised concerns as some students might use it to cheat on tasks and exams, weakening the learning process. There are students who just use ChatGPT to finish their homework without thinking by themselves. However, teachers are also finding ways to deal with this problem. Some college teachers in the US are changing the forms of homework and exams. They are adding speaking homework and asking students to write more by hand, so that students won’t rely on ChatGPT. Interestingly, not all educators are against using ChatGPT. Some Canadian universities are making rules about how to use it for both students and teachers. They haven’t decided to completely ban the tool yet.    Bhaskar Vira from the University of Cambridge thinks that banning AI software like ChatGPT is not a good idea. He said that we should know AI is a tool that people will use and we need to change our learning, teaching and exam methods. ChatGPT has opened up new possibilities and discussions about the future of AI and its role in our lives. In fact, the rise of ChatGPT has made educators think deeply about how to balance (平衡) the convenience it brings and prevent improper use. Different measures reflect (反映) different attitudes, but the key is to make sure students can learn usefully and develop real skills in this new technological period. 1．Why have some schools in the US banned the use of ChatGPT? A．Because it takes the place of teachers. B．Because it can be smarter than humans. C．Because it provides incorrect information. D．Because it may be used by students to cheat on homework. 2．How many of them approximately (大约) have used it if there were 1,200 students surveyed? A．1,000 B．1,068 C．1,100 D．1,150 3．What did some college teachers in the US do to avoid the use of ChatGPT? A．They suggested laws to ban the use of ChatGPT. B．They changed the forms of homework and exams. C．They stopped the students from using the Internet. D．They asked the students to hand in typed homework. 4．What can we infer from the passage? A．ChatGPT is useless in the education field. B．Parents are strongly against the use of ChatGPT. C．Students are not allowed to use ChatGPT for their homework. D．Some educators think it’s better to make good use of ChatGPT rather than simply stop using it. 5．What’s the structure of the article? (P=paragraph) A． B． C． D． 【答案】1．D 2．B 3．B 4．D 5．A 【导语】本文主要介绍了由Open AI开发的大型语言模型ChatGPT在教育领域的使用情况、引发的争议以及各方对此的不同反应与应对措施。 1．细节理解题。根据“At the same time, it has also raised concerns as some students might use it to cheat on tasks and exams, weakening the learning process.”可知，一些美国学校禁用ChatGPT是因为担心学生用它作弊。故选D。 2．细节理解题。根据“A survey in the US showed that more than 1,000 students were asked, and over 89% of them had used ChatGPT to do their homework.”可知，如果调查1200名学生，则使用过的人数大约为：1200×89% =1068。故选B。 3．细节理解题。根据“Some college teachers in the US are changing the forms of homework and exams. They are adding speaking homework and asking students to write more by hand, so that students won’t rely on ChatGPT.”可知，美国的一些大学老师通过改变作业和考试形式来避免学生使用ChatGPT。故选B。 4．推理判断题。根据“Bhaskar Vira from the University of Cambridge thinks that banning ... teaching and exam methods.”以及“In fact, the rise of ChatGPT has made educators think deeply about how to balance (平衡) the convenience it brings and prevent improper use.”可知，一些教育工作者认为应该好好利用ChatGPT而不是简单地停止使用它。故选D。 5．篇章结构题。第一段引出ChatGPT及其在教育领域的流行现象；第二、三段指出其引发的作弊问题和部分学校的禁止措施；第四段介绍一些教师的应对方法；第五、六段则提出另一种观点，即不完全禁止而是制定规则和改变教学方法；最后一段总结，点明ChatGPT带来的新可能性和关于平衡与防止滥用的深层思考。这种结构符合“提出问题/现象—分析问题/给出不同反应—总结/展望”的常见论述逻辑。故选A。 Libraries around the world still keep old books hundreds of years old. But will we be able to read today’s digital books in hundreds of years? Librarians are worried. Even now, we can’t open some files (文件) from 20 or 25 years ago. Will our digital works be lost in a digital black hole? Will we face the loss of valuable information? Technology is changing fast. Old ways of keeping information are gone now, or they are no longer supported by new technology. For example, many people used floppy discs (软盘) to save files years ago, but today few machines can open them. Also, millions of songs and music pieces were saved on tapes or CDs, but now most old music players no longer work. Another problem is that websites often change or close down, and all the information on them can fall into the digital black hole. Books, however, are quite easy to keep. We don’t need special tools or technology to read them. If you keep them in a dry and safe place, they will stay safe for a long time. Li Shizhen’s great medical book Ben Cao Gang Mu came out in 1593. Amazingly, three copies from the first printing still survive (保存) today. That’s not bad for a book more than 400 years old. Today, to some researchers, printed books remain a safe way to keep information. In 2014, a professional group began to raise money to print a famous online encyclopedia (百科全书) into 1,000 books. This would make sure that even if digital technology fails, the knowledge can still be kept. For now, when it comes to storing information, printed copies seem to be the safest choice. However, future technology might develop and provide new ways to solve the problem of the digital black hole. Time will tell. 1．The writer asks questions in the beginning ________. A．to show the large number of books B．to ask more information about digital books C．to draw readers’ attention to the topic discussed D．to change the worrying situation in libraries around the world 2．What happens if our digital works fall into a digital black hole? A．They are carefully kept. B．They cannot be understood. C．They cannot be read or reached. D．They are saved in a wrong place. 3．What is Paragraph 2 mainly about? A．How music players are developing. B．How technology is changing over time. C．Why old machines are no longer used today. D．Why technology may cause information loss. 4．Why does the writer mention Ben Cao Gang Mu? A．To discuss why this book is still important. B．To show printed books can last for a long time. C．To explain how easy it is to keep printed books. D．To tell when the earliest printed book came out. 5．What would the writer most probably agree with? A．Libraries should keep more digital books. B．Digital books are less valuable than printed ones. C．Technology is still looking for better ways to keep information. D．Technology will soon solve the problem of the digital black hole. 【答案】1．C 2．C 3．D 4．B 5．C 【导语】本文是一篇议论文，探讨了数字信息易因技术迭代陷入“数字黑洞”，对比印刷书籍的长期保存优势，指出当前印刷品更安全，但未来技术或能解决数字保存问题。 1．推理判断题。根据文章开头提出的关于数字书籍能否长期保存的问题可知，其目的是吸引读者关注“数字黑洞导致信息丢失”这一主题，故选C。 2．细节理解题。根据“Will our digital works be lost in a digital black hole? Will we face the loss of valuable information?”及第二段对数字信息无法读取的举例，可知“数字黑洞”指数字作品无法被读取或获取，故选C。 3．主旨大意题。根据第二段“Old ways of keeping information are gone now...Another problem is that websites often change or close down...”可知，该段主要说明技术变化为何导致数字信息丢失，故选D。 4．推理判断题。根据“Books, however, are quite easy to keep...Li Shizhen’s great medical book Ben Cao Gang Mu...three copies from the first printing still survive today.”可知，提及《本草纲目》是为了证明印刷书籍能长期保存，故选B。 5．观点态度题。根据“However, future technology might develop and provide new ways to solve the problem of the digital black hole.”可知，作者认为技术仍在探索更好的信息保存方式，故选C。 Should Students Have Part-time Jobs?   In many countries, teenagers take part-time jobs to earn pocket money. However, opinions are divided on whether Chinese students should do the same.   Supporters say that a part-time job teaches time management. “When I worked in a bookshop last summer, I learned to plan my day carefully,” says 15-year-old Zhang Qi. Jobs can also help students discover their interests. Liu Mei, who helped in a pet hospital, realised she wanted to be a vet in the future. Moreover, earning one’s own money builds confidence.   On the other hand, opponents worry about safety. Some employers may hire students illegally and make them work long hours. Another concern is grades. “After I started tutoring a pupil on weekends, my maths score dropped by 15 points,” admits Li Hao. Finally, some parents fear that early contact with money may make children materialistic.   In my view, students can take jobs as long as three rules are followed: the work must be safe and legal; the time should not exceed eight hours a week; and parents and teachers must give guidance. With these conditions, part-time jobs can become valuable “social classrooms”. 1．What is the passage mainly about? A．How to find a suitable part-time job. B．Different views on students’ part-time jobs. C．The history of part-time work for teens. D．A list of safe part-time jobs for students. 2．Why does the writer mention Zhang Qi? A．To show jobs improve time-management skills. B．To prove bookshops are the best workplace. C．To explain why grades may drop. D．To encourage students to open bookshops. 3．Which of the following is an opponent’s opinion? A．Jobs help students discover interests. B．Working experience builds confidence. C．Long working hours may harm study. D．Earning money teaches independence. 4．What does the writer probably agree with? A．All students should work in pet hospitals. B．Part-time jobs are bad for teenagers. C．Grades matter more than work experience. D．Safe and limited jobs can benefit teens. 【答案】1．B 2．A 3．C 4．D 【导语】本文主要讨论了学生是否应该从事兼职工作的不同观点。 1．主旨大意题。根据“However, opinions are divided on whether Chinese students should do the same. ”及全文可知，本文主要讨论了学生是否应该从事兼职工作的不同观点。故选B。 2．细节理解题。根据“Supporters say that a part-time job teaches time management. ‘When I worked in a bookshop last summer, I learned to plan my day carefully,’”可知，作者提及张琦的例子是为了说明兼职能培养时间管理能力。故选A。 3．细节理解题。根据“Another concern is grades. ‘After I started tutoring a pupil on weekends, my maths score dropped by 15 points,’ admits Li Hao. Finally”可知，反对者认为长时间工作可能影响学习。故选C。 4．观点态度题。根据“students can take jobs as long as three rules are followed ... part-time jobs can become valuable ‘social classrooms’.”可知，作者认为在安全、限时且有指导的前提下，兼职对青少年有益。故选D。 ①For teenagers, rules are everywhere—in families, schools, and even communities. But have you ever wondered why rules are so important for your growth? Let’s explore this by looking at different kinds of rules and their roles. ②Family rules are like “safety nets” for teens. For example, “don’t go out alone after 9 p.m.” protects teens from danger, and “share housework” teaches them responsibility. These rules don’t just keep teens safe; they also help build a warm family. When teens follow family rules, parents feel more at ease, and teens learn to care for others. ③School rules, on the other hand, are the “foundation” of a good learning environment. “Listen to teachers in class” helps everyone focus on lessons, and “no fighting with classmates” keeps the school peaceful. Without these rules, classrooms would be noisy, and no one could learn well. Teachers often say that school rules are not to “punish” teens, but to make sure everyone can learn and grow fairly. ④Community rules also play a part. “Don’t litter (丢垃圾) in the park” keeps public places clean, and “follow traffic rules when riding bikes” prevents accidents. These rules teach teens to respect public spaces and other people. ⑤Some teens may complain that rules are “annoying”, but in fact, rules are not there to limit you—they are there to guide you. Good rules help teens become responsible, respectful, and safe. That’s why rules are an important part of growing up. 1．What does the family rule “share housework” help teens learn? A．How to communicate. B．Responsibility. C．How to make friends. D．How to study better. 2．School rules are made to __________. A．limit teens B．punish teens for their mistakes C．help each other D．help teens learn and grow fairly 3．Which of the following is a community rule? A． B． C． D． 4．What’s the writer’s main purpose of writing this passage? A．To teach parents how to make rules. B．To show the students all the rules. C．To advise the students to follow the rules. D．To make good rules for teenagers. 5．What’s the best structure of the passage? (①= Para. 1   ②= Para. 2   ③= Para. 3   ④= Para. 4   ⑤= Para. 5) A． B． C． D． 【答案】1．B 2．D 3．D 4．C 5．A 【导语】本文主要讨论了规则对青少年的重要性，并分别从家庭规则、学校规则和社区规则三个方面阐述了它们的作用，最后总结规则是为了引导而非限制青少年的成长。 1．细节理解题。根据“and ‘share housework’ teaches them responsibility.”可知，分担家务教会青少年责任感。故选B。 2．细节理解题。根据“Teachers often say that school rules are not to ‘punish’ teens, but to make sure everyone can learn and grow fairly.”可知，学校规则不是为了惩罚，而是为了确保每个人都能公平地学习和成长。故选D。 3．推理判断题。根据“Community rules also play a part…These rules teach teens to respect public spaces and other people.”可知，社区规则涉及维护公共场所的秩序和尊重他人。图D是公共场所的规范标识，符合社区规则的定义。故选D。 4．主旨大意题。根据“Good rules help teens become responsible, respectful, and safe. That’s why rules are an important part of growing up.”以及全文对各种规则益处的阐述可知，作者写这篇文章的主要目的是为了建议学生遵守规则，因为这对他们的成长有益。故选C。 5．篇章结构题。通读全文可知：第①段引出话题；第②段讲家庭规则；第③段讲学校规则；第④段讲社区规则；第②③④段是并列关系，分别阐述不同领域的规则；第⑤段总结全文。因此，文章结构是“总—分—总”。故选A。 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
