期末复习之阅读理解5空15篇（云南专用） 一、阅读理解 When people talk about Vincent van Gogh, his famous works like The Starry Night (1889) and Sunflowers (1888) often come to mind. Many of his great works are now housed in the Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam, the Netherlands. Since it opened in 1973, nearly 57 million people have visited the museum. However, AP News reported that the museum might have to close if the government doesn’t offer more money for necessary repairs. These repairs are important to keep the art collection and visitors safe. During the repair work, some parts of the museum will be shut down. This means the museum will earn less money from ticket sales. In fact, ticket sales alone can’t cover the costs of running a museum. Museums need help from the government and rich people. For example, in the United States, the National Endowment for the Arts (国家艺术基金会) and other organizations provide money for specific projects, repair work and daily operations (运营). This public support shows that museums play an important role in education and culture. Besides, art collectors and even ordinary visitors may give money to museums. Museums also make money through different activities. Some museums now have nice gift shops and cafes. Visitors can buy books, gifts and branded merchandise (品牌商品) there, and they can also enjoy food and drinks in the cafes. Museums have changed a lot over time, and they keep looking for new ways to give visitors better experiences and attract more donors (赞助人). 1．Why are Van Gogh’s works mentioned in Paragraph 1? A．To show Van Gogh has a lot of paintings. B．To introduce the Van Gogh Museum to readers. C．To compare The Starry Night and Sunflowers. D．To explain why Van Gogh’s works are great. 2．What does the underlined word “housed” in Paragraph 1 probably mean? A．painted B．created C．sold D．stored 3．Which of the following are possible reasons for the Van Gogh Museum to close? ①It lacks money for necessary repairs. ②It has too few visitors every year. ③ The government decides to shut it down. ④Its ticket sales will drop during repairs.

C．Only rich people donate money to museums. D．US Museums don’t need money from ticket sales. 5．What can we learn from the passage? A．The Van Gogh Museum has been open for over 50 years. B．Museums mainly depend on selling food and drinks to survive. C．The Van Gogh Museum has closed because of safety reasons. D．Visitors can’t buy branded goods in most museums now. Chinese New Year is a big festival. People love to give flowers and fruits to each other, because they have special meanings. These gifts can bring good wishes for new beginnings. Orchids (兰花) have many colours, but purple and red ones are very popular for Chinese New Year. They mean love and beauty. Orchids wish you luck, success, and happiness. Peonies (牡丹) look like soft clouds in pink, red, and white. They are very beautiful and can make people feel happy. Red peonies show love and care. Peonies are also a symbol of wealth and being rich. Kumquats (金橘) are small, golden fruits that mean wealth and luck. In Chinese, “kumquat” sounds like “gold orange”, so they mean being rich. People often give two of these fruit trees together. Apples, with their bright colours and round shapes, mean peace and harmony (和谐). In Chinese, “apple” sounds like “peace”. So, apples are great gifts. In short, Chinese New Year is full of meaningful gifts that bring joy and good wishes to everyone. 根据语篇内容，选择最佳选项。 1．Which orchid colours do people like most for Chinese New Year? A．Purple and red.

Long ago, before air conditioners (空调) appeared, ancient Chinese people already had smart ways to stay cool in the hot summer. One way was using a large, green vegetable called winter melon. People would put the winter melon into cold water during the day and then hold it close to keep cool while sleeping at night. Although the vegetable has the word “winter” in its name, it actually grows in summer. It has over 96% water, and its skin (皮) feels cooler than our body. When people touch it, the melon helps take away their body heat, just like a natural air conditioner. What’s more, the winter melon is very big—it can grow to be over 80 cm long. And it has a waxy coating (蜡质涂层) that helps keep it fresh for a long time. So people can save it for later use. That’s why the winter melon is a smart and useful tool for staying cool. Besides cooling people down, the vegetable is also great to eat. In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), the winter melon is a cool food. It is beneficial for people’s health because it can take away heat and dampness (湿气) from the body. So, many people enjoy it in summer to stay healthy and cool. There are many ways to enjoy the winter melon. People cook it in soup, stir-fry (炒) it and make sweet snacks with it. In hot summers, people even put the skin of the winter melon into tea to help them cool down. In a word, the winter melon is a helpful and popular plant. It not only helps people feel comfortable in hot weather but also does good for people’s health. Even today, it plays a big role in people’s lives. 根据语篇内容，选择最佳答案。 1．Why does winter melon help people cool down? A．It has a lot of water and its skin is cooler than the body. B．It grows in winter.

C．How winter melon helps people stay cool and healthy. My name is Hamilton. I am a pet taxi driver. Two years ago, I started to work as a taxi driver. Why did I choose this job? Here’s the story. One day, I visited my friend. While we were talking, my friend’s pet dog started vomiting (呕吐). It also had a fever. My friend tried to get a taxi to take the dog to an animal hospital. He stopped three taxis, but none of the drivers agreed to send a dog. In the end, my friend borrowed a car from his neighbor and took his dog to the animal hospital. This experience gave me an idea. I decided to start a new service called “Taxi Pet”. I drive a taxi and offer the service to pet owners. My pet passengers are usually dogs, cats, birds and more animals. Pet owners usually ask me to take them and their pets to animal hospitals. I also take them to pet stores, parks, beaches and many other places. I love my job. Why?

Lightning usually destroys (破坏) trees it hits. But scientists have found a kind of amazing tree. They not only live through lightning strikes (击中) but also grow because of them! For years, scientists thought lightning was only bad for trees. But as they explored places like the Amazon rainforest, they started to think there could be trees that fight against lightning. It wasn’t until about 100 years ago that such “super trees” were found. Now, they know of a tree that uses lightning’s power to kill nearby trees and get more sunlight and nutrients (营养) for itself. In 2015, scientist Evan Gora saw a Dipteryx oleifera tree. It was hit by strong lightning. It wasn’t badly harmed. However, the neighboring trees were killed. Scientists thought this tree could deal with lightning, but there was no way to be sure. Gora and his team saw more of these trees that grew well after lightning strikes. So, they did a study. They followed 93 trees struck by lightning for 2-6 years. They found that all 9 Dipteryx oleifera trees in the study grew well, only with little harm. But 84 other trees were seriously hurt, and 64% of them died within two years. These Dipteryx oleifera trees are very tall and have wide tops, making them 68% more likely to be struck by lightning than other trees. During the study, one of the Dipteryx trees was struck twice in 5 years but still grew well. At present, more studies suggest that these trees attract (吸引) lightning on purpose to destroy other trees and grow better. Scientists are not sure how these trees survive lightning, but they guess these trees may have the ability to carry electricity (电). They are also interested in other trees with similar characteristics. 1．What does the word “them” in bold refer to in Paragraph 1? A．Scientists. B．Lightning strikes. C．Nutrients. D．Amazing trees. 2．What is special about the Dipteryx oleifera tree? A．It dies quickly after lightning strikes. B．It takes in nutrients directly from lightning. C．It grows better after being struck by lightning. D．It protects itself by hiding under other trees. 3．Why do Dipteryx oleifera trees attract lightning? A．To get more water from the sky. B．To kill nearby trees for growth. C．To become shorter and stronger. D．To protect other trees around them. 4．Where is the text probably taken from? A．A science magazine. B．A story book. C．A safety guide. D．A travel guide. 5．What might scientists do next according to the text? A．Plant more Dipteryx oleifera trees. B．Study how trees attract lightning better. C．Find out where Dipteryx oleifera trees live. D．Look for more trees that can survive lightning. Today, there are still many people who don’t really know what a home organizer (收纳师) does.

The name “Batai” means “eight terraces (台阶)” because it looks like it has eight huge flat steps going up. It’s very tall (over 2,200 metres). Because it’s so high, it’s one of the first places in Sichuan to see the sunrise each morning. Watching the sun come up from the top is amazing. For nature lovers, Batai Mountain is a good place to visit. You can see fantastic deep valleys (峡谷), interesting rock shapes, and big forests all around. On the fine mornings, there are thick clouds covering the land below, making the top of the mountain look like islands in a huge white sea. And if you’re brave enough, you can even walk on special paths (小路) with glass parts high above the ground—it feels just like walking in the sky. Batai Mountain is a natural geopark (地质公园) protected by the government. It’s a very important and beautiful place.

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

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

For over 200 years, a group of goats (山羊) lived on Santa Barbara, an island in the northeast of Brazil. There was no fresh water on the island, but these goats survived. They lived there and moved around. Also, many of the goats had two babies at a time. That shows they were healthy. That’s really hard to believe! No one knows for sure how the goats got to the island at first. Scientists think colonizers (殖民者) brought them to the island. They kept goats for food. When they left the island, they left the goats behind. Scientists watched the goats for many years, but they never saw the goats drink any water. This makes them wonder, “How did these goats live there for more than 200 years?” They have different guesses about how the goats stayed alive. Some think they learned to drink seawater. Others think they ate a plant with lots of water in it. Not long ago, a wildlife protection group (野生动物保护组织) took the last 27 goats away from the island. They did this because the goats ate too much and caused problems for seven kinds of seabirds there. But they didn’t kill the goats. They gave them to scientists to study. Scientists hope to find out the reason why the goats could live with no water. Then they may come up with ideas to help animals living in dry places. 1．What does the underlined word “survived” in Paragraph 1 mean? A．Lost. B．Lived on. C．Ran away. D．Fought. 2．Which question can Paragraph 2 answer? A．How did the goats get to the island? B．Why do scientists want to study the goats? C．How do scientists think the goats stayed alive? D．Why did the colonizers leave the goats behind? 3．What did scientists notice about the goats? A．They never drank water. B．They left the island. C．They only had one baby at a time. D．They ate a plant with lots of water in it. 4．What does the underlined word “they” in Paragraph 3 refer to? A．The goats. B．The seabirds. C．The scientists. D．The colonizers. 5．Why did the wildlife protection group take the goats away from the island? A．Because there was no fresh water on the island. B．Because they kept goats for food. C．Because they wanted to give them to scientists to study. D．Because the goats ate too much and put some seabirds in danger. Hot dry noodles are a traditional food of Wuhan, Hubei Province. They have a history in Chinese food culture for many years. They’re typical (典型的) breakfast food in Wuhan, and are often sold on streets in other cities. Hot dry noodles can be served at 5:00 in the morning until midnight in Wuhan. It’s said that in the early 1930s, there was a small restaurant run by a man. He made a living by selling noodles and noodle soup in Hankou. One day, he accidentally put some oil into his noodles without noticing it. The next day, he boiled the noodles and added other condiments (调味品). To his surprise, his noodles soon became very popular because they were very delicious. Many people asked him what noodles they were. He said they were sesame paste noodles (麻酱面). Many years later, they were called hot dry noodles. The recipe of the hot dry noodles is different from that of cold noodles and noodles in soup. At first, mix the cooked noodles with oil and dry them. When they’re about to be eaten, put the prepared noodles in boiled water. Mix them with green onions and many other condiments, and the noodles will be ready to be eaten. 根据材料内容选择最佳答案。 1．Hot dry noodles can be served for ________ hours in Wuhan.

Understanding these differences can help us know each other better. I-people are introverts (内向的人). They feel more comfortable when they are alone or with just a few close friends. They often enjoy quiet activities like reading or thinking deeply. They like to listen carefully and think before speaking. E-people are extroverts (外向的人). They feel very excited and happy when they are with a lot of people ________ They like talking a lot to you even if they just know you for the first time. And they want to be the leaders (领导者) in group activities. They often feel bored when they are alone for too long. Last month, I invited my friends, Alex and Jamie, to my 15th birthday party. At the party, Alex loved to talk to everyone there. He felt happier and more excited after spending time with my family and friends. Jamie, however, didn’t agree to come. She told me she enjoyed staying at home and reading a book. She would feel tired and need some quiet time to feel better. Understanding these differences helps us know more about both kinds of people. Introverts bring thoughtful ideas and deeper talks to give us much advice about some important things, while extroverts bring us life and fun. Everyone is different, and that’s what makes friendships special. 1．What do the I-people think when they are with lots of people? A．Close. B．Excited. C．Quiet.

A．Make Friendship Special. B．Extroverts and Introverts. C．Two Kinds of People. D．Different Characters. Bob is dreaming about being successful in science. And he always knows that if he wants to make his dream come true, he has to do well in math and physics. Bob studied hard in these subjects, but he didn’t pass the exam in physics. He became so sad that he thought he could never make his dream come true. When he arrived home, his mother was preparing dinner. He told his mother about that. After a while, his mother handed him a peanut (花生) and said, “Pinch (捏) it hard.” Bob did that, and the peanut shell broke, leaving a peanut kernel (果仁). Then, his mother asked him to pinch it. As a result, the red skin left the peanut kernel, leaving only the white fruit. Bob’s mother asked him to pinch the white fruit. Bob felt confused but did it. However, no matter how hard he tried, he couldn’t break off the white fruit. Finally, his mother told him, “In our life, we are sure to meet a lot of difficulties. But as long as we keep a strong heart, there will be hope of making our dreams come true.” From then on, Bob understood that he shouldn’t lose heart. He felt thankful for his mother and took his physics paper out. 1．What is Bob’s dream? A．To be a pilot. B．To be a lawyer. C．To be a scientist. D．To be an explorer. 2．What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 2 refer to? A．The peanut. B．The peanut kernel. C．The red skin of the peanut.

It has a long body and its length is around 25 metres. Some of the blue whales can even be 30 metres long. The average weight of the blue whale is 150-180 tons. Among all animals, the blue whale has the biggest heart in the world. Its heart is as big as the tyre (轮胎) of a large truck. The blue whale has a big and strong heart, but its heart doesn’t beat fast. Our hearts usually beat about 70 times per minute. The blue whale’s heart beats only about 9 times per minute. Therefore, the blue whale’s heart beats much more slowly than a human’s heart does. However, the blue whale’s heartbeat (心跳) makes a big sound. We can even hear the sound from 3 kilometers away! 1．Why does the writer mention the tyre of a large truck? A．To show that the blue whale’s heart is large.

Many of his great works are now housed in the Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam, the Netherlands. Since it opened in 1973, nearly 57 million people have visited the museum. However, AP News reported that the museum might have to close if the government doesn’t offer more money for necessary repairs. These repairs are important to keep the art collection and visitors safe. During the repair work, some parts of the museum will be shut down. This means the museum will earn less money from ticket sales. In fact, ticket sales alone can’t cover the costs of running a museum. Museums need help from the government and rich people. For example, in the United States, the National Endowment for the Arts (国家艺术基金会) and other organizations provide money for specific projects, repair work and daily operations (运营). This public support shows that museums play an important role in education and culture. Besides, art collectors and even ordinary visitors may give money to museums. Museums also make money through different activities. Some museums now have nice gift shops and cafes. Visitors can buy books, gifts and branded merchandise (品牌商品) there, and they can also enjoy food and drinks in the cafes. Museums have changed a lot over time, and they keep looking for new ways to give visitors better experiences and attract more donors (赞助人). 1．Why are Van Gogh’s works mentioned in Paragraph 1? A．To show Van Gogh has a lot of paintings. B．To introduce the Van Gogh Museum to readers. C．To compare The Starry Night and Sunflowers. D．To explain why Van Gogh’s works are great. 2．What does the underlined word “housed” in Paragraph 1 probably mean? A．painted B．created C．sold D．stored 3．Which of the following are possible reasons for the Van Gogh Museum to close? ①It lacks money for necessary repairs. ②It has too few visitors every year. ③ The government decides to shut it down. ④Its ticket sales will drop during repairs. A．①② B．②③ C．①④ D．③④ 4．What can we infer (推断) from Paragraph 3? A．The government pays all museum running costs. B．Public support helps museums develop better. C．Only rich people donate money to museums. D．US Museums don’t need money from ticket sales. 5．What can we learn from the passage? A．The Van Gogh Museum has been open for over 50 years. B．Museums mainly depend on selling food and drinks to survive. C．The Van Gogh Museum has closed because of safety reasons. D．Visitors can’t buy branded goods in most museums now. 【答案】1．B 2．D 3．C 4．B 5．A 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了梵高博物馆的现状、运营面临的资金问题，以及博物馆获取资金的多种方式。 1．推理判断题。 根据“Many of his great works are now housed in the Van Gogh Museum...” 可知，提及梵高的作品是为了引出收藏这些作品的梵高博物馆。故选B。 2．词句猜测题。根据“Many of his great works are now housed in the Van Gogh Museum...” 可知，梵高的作品被“存放”在博物馆中，“housed”在此处意为“stored（储存、存放）”。故选D。 3．细节理解题。根据“the museum might have to close if the government doesn’t offer more money for necessary repairs”以及“This means the museum will earn less money from ticket sales.”可知，缺少维修资金和维修期间门票收入下降是博物馆可能关闭的原因。故选C。 4．推理判断题。根据“This public support shows that museums play an important role in education and culture…”可知，公众支持（政府、机构等的资助）有助于博物馆更好发展。故选B。 5．细节理解题。根据“Since it opened in 1973…”可知，梵高博物馆从1973年开放至今已超过50年。故选A。 Chinese New Year is a big festival.

One way was using a large, green vegetable called winter melon. People would put the winter melon into cold water during the day and then hold it close to keep cool while sleeping at night. Although the vegetable has the word “winter” in its name, it actually grows in summer. It has over 96% water, and its skin (皮) feels cooler than our body. When people touch it, the melon helps take away their body heat, just like a natural air conditioner. What’s more, the winter melon is very big—it can grow to be over 80 cm long. And it has a waxy coating (蜡质涂层) that helps keep it fresh for a long time. So people can save it for later use. That’s why the winter melon is a smart and useful tool for staying cool. Besides cooling people down, the vegetable is also great to eat. In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), the winter melon is a cool food. It is beneficial for people’s health because it can take away heat and dampness (湿气) from the body. So, many people enjoy it in summer to stay healthy and cool. There are many ways to enjoy the winter melon. People cook it in soup, stir-fry (炒) it and make sweet snacks with it. In hot summers, people even put the skin of the winter melon into tea to help them cool down. In a word, the winter melon is a helpful and popular plant. It not only helps people feel comfortable in hot weather but also does good for people’s health. Even today, it plays a big role in people’s lives. 根据语篇内容，选择最佳答案。 1．Why does winter melon help people cool down? A．It has a lot of water and its skin is cooler than the body. B．It grows in winter.

C．How winter melon helps people stay cool and healthy. 【答案】1．A 2．C 3．B 4．B 5．C 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了在空调出现之前，古代中国人利用冬瓜来降温的智慧方式，以及冬瓜的特性和在中医中的益处，强调了冬瓜在帮助人们保持凉爽和健康方面的作用。 1．细节理解题。根据第二段中“It has over 96% water, and its skin feels cooler than our body. When people touch it, the melon helps take away their body heat, just like a natural air conditioner.”可知，冬瓜含水量超过96%，且其皮比人体感觉更凉，当人们触摸它时，它能帮助带走人体的热量，就像天然的空调一样。因此，冬瓜能帮助人们降温是因为它含有大量的水分，且其皮比人体更凉。故选A。 2．细节理解题。根据第二段中“And it has a waxy coating that helps keep it fresh for a long time. So people can save it for later use.”可知，冬瓜有一层蜡质涂层，这有助于它长时间保持新鲜，所以人们可以保存它以备后用。因此，从第二段中我们可以了解到冬瓜可以长时间保持新鲜。故选C。 3．词句猜测题。根据第三段中“In Traditional Chinese Medicine, the winter melon is a cool food. It is beneficial for people’s health because it can take away heat and dampness from the body.”可知，在中医中，冬瓜是一种凉性食物，它对人们的健康有益，因为它能带走体内的热量和湿气。根据句意可推测，“beneficial”在此处意为“有利的”。故选B。 4．细节理解题。根据第一段中“People would put the winter melon into cold water during the day and then hold it close to keep cool while sleeping at night.”可知，人们白天把冬瓜放进冷水里，晚上抱着它睡觉以保持凉爽，而不是把冬瓜放进热水里。因此，B选项“人们晚上把冬瓜放进热水里以保持凉爽”是不正确的。故选B。 5．主旨大意题。根据全文内容可知，文章主要介绍了冬瓜如何帮助人们保持凉爽和健康，包括其降温的原理、在中医中的益处以及人们如何食用冬瓜等。因此，文章的主旨大意是“冬瓜如何帮助人们保持凉爽和健康”。故选C。 My name is Hamilton.

They not only live through lightning strikes (击中) but also grow because of them! For years, scientists thought lightning was only bad for trees. But as they explored places like the Amazon rainforest, they started to think there could be trees that fight against lightning. It wasn’t until about 100 years ago that such “super trees” were found. Now, they know of a tree that uses lightning’s power to kill nearby trees and get more sunlight and nutrients (营养) for itself. In 2015, scientist Evan Gora saw a Dipteryx oleifera tree. It was hit by strong lightning. It wasn’t badly harmed. However, the neighboring trees were killed. Scientists thought this tree could deal with lightning, but there was no way to be sure. Gora and his team saw more of these trees that grew well after lightning strikes. So, they did a study. They followed 93 trees struck by lightning for 2-6 years. They found that all 9 Dipteryx oleifera trees in the study grew well, only with little harm. But 84 other trees were seriously hurt, and 64% of them died within two years. These Dipteryx oleifera trees are very tall and have wide tops, making them 68% more likely to be struck by lightning than other trees. During the study, one of the Dipteryx trees was struck twice in 5 years but still grew well. At present, more studies suggest that these trees attract (吸引) lightning on purpose to destroy other trees and grow better. Scientists are not sure how these trees survive lightning, but they guess these trees may have the ability to carry electricity (电). They are also interested in other trees with similar characteristics. 1．What does the word “them” in bold refer to in Paragraph 1? A．Scientists. B．Lightning strikes. C．Nutrients. D．Amazing trees. 2．What is special about the Dipteryx oleifera tree? A．It dies quickly after lightning strikes. B．It takes in nutrients directly from lightning. C．It grows better after being struck by lightning. D．It protects itself by hiding under other trees. 3．Why do Dipteryx oleifera trees attract lightning? A．To get more water from the sky. B．To kill nearby trees for growth. C．To become shorter and stronger. D．To protect other trees around them. 4．Where is the text probably taken from? A．A science magazine. B．A story book. C．A safety guide. D．A travel guide. 5．What might scientists do next according to the text? A．Plant more Dipteryx oleifera trees. B．Study how trees attract lightning better. C．Find out where Dipteryx oleifera trees live. D．Look for more trees that can survive lightning. 【答案】1．B 2．C 3．B 4．A 5．D 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了油桃木这种特殊的树，它被闪电击中后不仅能存活还生长得更好，科学家对其展开研究并将探索更多类似特性的树。 1．词句猜测题。根据“Lightning usually destroys (破坏) trees it hits. But scientists have found a kind of amazing trees. They not only live through lightning strikes (击中) but also grow because of them!”可知，科学家们发现了一种神奇的树木，它们不仅能在闪电击中后存活下来，还能因此而生长！所以them指代的是“lightning strikes”，故选B。 2．细节理解题。根据“But scientists have found a kind of amazing trees. They not only live through lightning strikes (击中) but also grow because of them”以及后文对油桃木的研究描述可知，油桃木被闪电击中后生长得更好，故选C。 3．细节理解题。根据“Now, they know of a tree that uses lightning’s power to kill nearby trees and get more sunlight and nutrients (营养) for itself.”可知，油桃木吸引闪电是为了杀死附近的树从而获取更多阳光和营养以生长，故选B。 4．推理判断题。本文介绍了油桃木这种特殊的树，它被闪电击中后不仅能存活还生长得更好，科学家对其展开研究并将探索更多类似特性的树。所以此文可能来自于科学杂志，故选A。 5．推理判断题。根据“Scientists are not sure how these trees survive lightning, but they guess these trees may have the ability to carry electricity (电). They are also interested in other trees with similar characteristics.”可知，科学家们不确定这些树木是如何在雷击中幸存的，但他们猜测这些树木可能具有导电能力。他们对其他具有类似特性的树木也颇感兴趣。所以科学家们接下来可能寻找更多抗雷击树种。故选D。 Today, there are still many people who don’t really know what a home organizer (收纳师) does.

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

There was no fresh water on the island, but these goats survived. They lived there and moved around. Also, many of the goats had two babies at a time. That shows they were healthy. That’s really hard to believe! No one knows for sure how the goats got to the island at first. Scientists think colonizers (殖民者) brought them to the island. They kept goats for food. When they left the island, they left the goats behind. Scientists watched the goats for many years, but they never saw the goats drink any water. This makes them wonder, “How did these goats live there for more than 200 years?” They have different guesses about how the goats stayed alive. Some think they learned to drink seawater. Others think they ate a plant with lots of water in it. Not long ago, a wildlife protection group (野生动物保护组织) took the last 27 goats away from the island. They did this because the goats ate too much and caused problems for seven kinds of seabirds there. But they didn’t kill the goats. They gave them to scientists to study. Scientists hope to find out the reason why the goats could live with no water. Then they may come up with ideas to help animals living in dry places. 1．What does the underlined word “survived” in Paragraph 1 mean? A．Lost. B．Lived on. C．Ran away.

Understanding these differences can help us know each other better. I-people are introverts (内向的人). They feel more comfortable when they are alone or with just a few close friends. They often enjoy quiet activities like reading or thinking deeply. They like to listen carefully and think before speaking. E-people are extroverts (外向的人). They feel very excited and happy when they are with a lot of people ________ They like talking a lot to you even if they just know you for the first time. And they want to be the leaders (领导者) in group activities. They often feel bored when they are alone for too long. Last month, I invited my friends, Alex and Jamie, to my 15th birthday party. At the party, Alex loved to talk to everyone there. He felt happier and more excited after spending time with my family and friends. Jamie, however, didn’t agree to come. She told me she enjoyed staying at home and reading a book. She would feel tired and need some quiet time to feel better. Understanding these differences helps us know more about both kinds of people. Introverts bring thoughtful ideas and deeper talks to give us much advice about some important things, while extroverts bring us life and fun. Everyone is different, and that’s what makes friendships special. 1．What do the I-people think when they are with lots of people? A．Close. B．Excited. C．Quiet.
