【中考真题】
Sunshine does make people happier. Imagine how cheerful you are when it clears up after long cold rainy days. Let’s discover science behind sunlight.
Sunlight causes you to produce a chemical (化学物质) called serotonin (血清素). When you are exposed to sunlight, your body will make more serotonin. Higher levels of serotonin will keep you in good spirits. At night, when there is little or no light, your body produces another chemical-melatonin (褪黑激素). It helps your body relax and will make you feel tired, which can prepare you for a good night’s sleep. You should keep a good balance between these two chemicals.
However, for many people, it is hard to balance sunlight with darkness. People who stay indoors a lot may not get enough sunlight. The light in a house is usually about 100 times less than that outside on a sunny day. That’s why it is believed that those people should get outside in the sunshine. They can get some exercise, enjoy the fresh air and be happy, all at the same time.
There are places where it gets dark for a long time in the winter. People in those places are easier to get seasonal affective disorder (SAD). People with SAD usually go through bad experiences such as low energy and sadness. The most common treatment for those people is to sit under bright artificial (人工的) lights for some time.
The roles that sunshine plays in people’s life are more than those above. For example, your body produces Vitamin D (维生素D) from sunlight, which is important for being healthy. In fact, there is more science about sunlight for you to discover. So next time, when you notice the sunshine on your shoulder, take a moment to think, “Why do we love sunshine?”

An old saying used for forecasting (预测) the weather says, “Red sky at night, sailors’ delight. Red sky in the morning, sailors (水手) take warning.” Is the saying true? It turns out that it is. A red sky at sunset may mean that there are clear skies to the west, where the sun sets. A red sky at sunrise usually means that the clear weather has already passed, so storms might be coming.
Forecasting the weather has been practiced for thousands of years. In the 5th century BC, the Greeks sent out forecasts to sailors. They used signs in nature to forecast the weather. But today, meteorologists send exact forecasts further in advance (提前). They use scientific instruments to study weather conditions around the world and make forecasts. Pilots, farmers and many other people depend on these forecasts. Luckily, most of us can simply look on the smart phone or turn on the TV to find out what kind of weather is coming.
If you are looking for some signs of the weather, pay attention to nature. There are two basic rules used in weather forecasting: Weather generally moves from west to east, and low air pressure (压力) usually means rain or snow. So pay attention to the signs. If rainbows form in the west at sunrise, the sun is on the way. Smell the flowers—their smells are stronger in wet air. What are the ants doing? Are they moving to higher ground? This could mean a drop in air pressure. Are the birds flying low or high? Falling air pressure may influence birds’ ears, so they fly low. And if the sky is red at sunset, you might plan a picnic for the next day!

In recent years, more and more homeless animals have been seen in cities. This makes people worry about possible problems between these animals and humans.
But there are good changes in the situation. A new study shows that the number of homeless dogs in Shanghai is growing more slowly than last year. These homeless dogs are living peacefully in Shanghai’s communities. It also shows that people in Shanghai and homeless animals may live together peacefully for a long time.
This good change doesn’t happen by accident. Over the past year, the city and communities have tried hard to make this “peaceful coexistence (共存)” come true.
A study last year found that there were 3,000 to 5,000 homeless dogs in Shanghai. The number of homeless dogs in communities is closely related to neighborhood management. For example, feeding homeless dogs in a wrong way and throwing kitchen waste carelessly can make more homeless dogs appear. Because it becomes easier for these animals to find food.
Over the past year, communities and local governments have taken actions. They not only ask people to throw kitchen waste correctly, but also put up notice boards. They call on people to feed homeless dogs only at fixed times and places.
More importantly, they have been spreading knowledge about homeless dogs. They use brochures (宣传小册子), picture books, meetings and other ways to help people understand homeless animals better.
However, there is still more work for the city and people to do to keep this peaceful coexistence.
根据材料内容选择最佳答案。
1.How many homeless dogs were there in Shanghai according to the study last year?
A.1,000 to 2,000 B.3,000 to 5,000 C.5,000 to 6,000 D.More than 6,000

Paper is one of the most important inventions in human history. Before paper, people wrote on heavy materials like animal bones and bamboo, which were hard to use and carry. The invention of paper meant that more people could be educated because books and knowledge could be shared more easily. It provided a very important way to communicate.
Paper was first made in China around 100 B.C. People used silk waste to make paper. The process had several steps: first, the material was put in water, then cooked and beaten into a soft mix. A thin bamboo tool was placed into this mix, coming out with a fine covering on it. After the unwanted water was pressed out, it was left to dry on a hot wall, and then a piece of paper could be taken off. The paper made with these materials was not very good. It was also expensive.
Then around 105 A.D., a man in China named Cai Lun, known as the inventor of the paper we use today, came up with a better and cheaper way to make paper. His way also made it possible to make a lot of paper at once.
The knowledge of papermaking spread from China to its neighbors, Korea and Japan, and later reached Europe mainly through the Silk Road. However, paper was not commonly used in the West until about 1400. Later, countries with many forests like Canada, Sweden, Norway, Finland and the United States became key paper producers. Today, Finland makes the best paper and has the biggest paper industry in the world.
When we think of paper, we think of books, newspapers, and letters. It is clear that the invention of paper brought a huge change to human life, making it possible for printing to be invented later. Paper truly plays an important role in our lives.

Many students think math is difficult. But with the right ways, you can learn it well and even have fun.
Understand the basics first. Before you start solving hard problems, make sure you know the basics really well. If you don’t understand these, it will be impossible to do more difficult math problems. Practice simple problems every day. Spend about 15 minutes a day on this, and you’ll get better at the basics quickly.
Practice regularly (定期地). Math is like a game—the more you play, the better you get. Don’t let a day pass without math practice. Your math book has lots of problems. Try to do at least 10 problems each day. If you find a type of problem difficult, do more of them. For example, if you have problems with distance and speed, keep practicing them until you understand them well.
Make a study plan. It’s important to plan your math study time. Decide when you will study math each day. It could be right after school or in the evening. Write it down on a piece of paper. For example, “I will study math from 4:30 to 5:30 every day.” This way, you can remember to study and you can focus (集中注意力) better.
Ask for help. If you don’t understand something in math, don’t be shy. Ask the teacher or classmates. They will be happy to help you. Maybe your teacher can explain it in a different way that you can understand. You can also join a study group with friends. You can work on math problems together and help each other.
Remember, learning math takes time. But if you try the ways above, you will see that math is not so hard after all, and you will get better at it day by day. So why not have a try?

Some animals can easily find their way home after a long journey. How do they make it? Scientific research shows that they are born with certain unusual abilities for direction.
A certain kind of ants, for example, can count their steps to avoid getting lost. They can go as far as 110 meters and bring food home. These ants live in the open desert, so they have nothing to guide them along the way. It’s like someone walking six kilometers through a dark forest.
Some fish have an unbelievable sense of smell. They can smell even a single drop of their home water in a large sea area. Some sea birds have a similar ability. They are able to make a smell map of their flying area.
Some animals can sense the earth’s magnetic field (磁场), while humans can’t. This magnetic field guides a certain kind of fish when they swim a long way to a place and then back. How can this kind of fish do that? It is still a puzzle. Scientists have no good answers yet.
However, animals with such unusual abilities still have difficulty dealing with environmental changes caused by human activities. For example, many birds depend on stars for direction, but they get lost easily when city lights are kept on all night. To solve this problem, we can simply turn off some lights at night. Clearly, one small act of humans may mean a lot to animals.

We often think the Arctic (北极) only has snow and ice. But in fact, it has far more than that!
The Arctic is at the top of the Earth. The Arctic Ocean makes up two-thirds of the Arctic, while one-third is made up of land in eight countries, including Russia, Canada, and the US.
The Arctic lands have many various lives. Some plants and animals can grow in very cold temperatures. In fact, the Arctic is home to more than 21,000 kinds of life. There are whales, Arctic foxes and many more. The polar bear is the most famous Arctic animal.
You might think that the Arctic is too cold for people to live in. But surprisingly, there are about 4 million people living there. That’s the same population as the city of Taiyuan in Shanxi, China. About 10 percent are local people. They have been there for thousands of years. They make a living by fishing, hunting and so on.
A group of scientists recently came back from a one-year-long study in the Arctic. They have bad news: The Arctic is dying. The amount of Arctic sea ice is falling by around 3 percent every year. There will be no more ice during the summer in the near future. What does this mean to us? Many animals, such as polar bears, hunt for their food on the ice. If they can’t do this anymore, they will die of hunger. Local people hunt animals for food. But since so many animals are dying, they need to change their way of life.

Not all fruits change colour, but many do. The colour change is a way for fruits to show animals that they are ready to be eaten. It’s nature’s way of saying, “Come and get it!”
Why do fruits show they are ripe (熟的)? Because it helps plants grow. When an animal eats a ripe fruit, the seeds (种子) travel through its body and are dropped in a new place later. This allows the plant to grow in new places.
Sometimes, fruit seeds are covered by a soft coating (外衣), and this makes it hard for them to grow. When the seeds pass through an animal’s body, the soft coating is taken away, and that makes it easier for the seeds to grow.
But this only works if the seeds are ripe. If not, all of the above efforts will be wasted. So it’s important to protect seeds while they’re still growing. How can they make sure of the safety of the seeds before they are ripe? To solve the problem, fruits use some smart tricks. One trick is to look green. Fruits that are not fully grown have chlorophyll (叶绿素). It makes them green and helps them hide among the leaves. Once the fruits are mature, the chlorophyll breaks down, and they show bright colors like yellow, orange, red, blue, or purple. These colors make the fruits easier for animals to see.
Besides changing colour, ripe fruits also get softer and sweeter, and many give off a sweet smell. Animals know these signs mean the fruits are good to eat. It’s a win-win situation for both the animals and the plants: animals get food, and plants get their seeds spread!
根据材料内容选择最佳答案。

Do you know that construction (建筑) is one of the biggest users of energy and one of the biggest polluters? According to AI Magazine, construction is responsible for using 38% of the world’s energy. The building part alone takes up almost 55% of final energy use and 33% of greenhouse gases. It’s also known that steel produces a lot of material waste in building construction.
Because of this big challenge, the future of sustainable (可持续的) construction may lie with AI. AI is able to study building efficiency (效率) performance by grouping data to find the best chances for sustainable material usage. With a tool like AI, the future of sustainable construction could progress much faster than in the past. Besides, AI helps architects (建筑师) work with new tools and sustainable materials to create better buildings and cities of the future. For example, construction 3D printing guided by AI can offer better choices for building materials to save money, and map out how construction materials could be recycled.
In a professional article, AI is praised as a tool for sustainable construction. “In recent years, AI has become a promising tool for construction. AI can examine a large number of data sets on weather conditions and help to make full use of building systems for energy efficiency, water protection and other goals.”
AI can be used to speed up the future of sustainable construction to set standards for the industry and make construction more efficient and affordable. Like any other computer, AI is a tool that is good at studying data sets, but for the moment it still requires smart and ethical (有道德的) human beings to lead its work. All of that has to be done with respect for humans, so it’s really up to us to make it work.

Carbon dioxide (CO₂) is one of Earth’s most common greenhouse gases. It is important for life on the planet. Too much, however, can be very dangerous.
In the past 60 years, CO₂ in the air has increased 100—200 times faster than it did during the end of the last ice age. This puts all the living things on Earth in great danger. So, many people and governments are working to solve the problem.
One solution is called Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS). This process catches CO₂ produced by human activities and stores it underground so it does not go into the air. But this process itself needs energy produced by fossil fuels (化石燃料) and costs a lot of money. Also, it faces ongoing (持续的) questions about the long- term safety of underground CO₂ storage.
Luckily, there is good news. Researchers at the University of Cambridge have developed a CO₂-eating machine. It collects CO₂ directly from the air and turns it into useful fuels using sunlight.
The machine works in a daily cycle (周期). At night, it catches CO₂ from the air using its special filters (过滤器). When daylight arrives, a mirror on it collects the sunlight together. The sunlight heats the CO₂ and turns it into a gas called syngas. The syngas can then be turned into fuels.
Compared with CCS, the technology is safer, cleaner, and cheaper, making it a game-changer for solving the problem of too much CO₂. The researchers are now working on improving the technology. They say that if it can be used widely, it could kill two birds with one stone: reducing CO₂ in the air and creating clean fuels. Where there is waste, there is treasure.

What’s your favorite song? What do you like about it? Do you often share the music you like with a friend or family member? Do they like it as much as you do? Maybe they do—or maybe not. Sometimes, people’s musical tastes can be very different.
Why do we like some styles of music but not others? There are several reasons.
One reason is personality (性格). Are you quiet or loud? Peaceful or full of energy? People often choose music that matches who they are.
Another reason is age. Your favorite songs may not be the same as your parents’. The music you listen to during your teenage years has many effects on your musical tastes for the rest of your life. However, it’s also common for these tastes to change as you get older.
Environment also matters. The place and culture you grow up in affects the music you hear. That’s why when people move to new places or meet new people, they often hear different styles of music.
Your mood can change your music choices, too. On some days when you feel sad, you may want slow, soft songs. But on others, you may want fast and loud songs.
All these things—personality, age, environment, mood help shape (塑造) your musical taste. ▲ Respect their choices and they’ll respect yours!

So far, humans have landed on the moon six times. If humans want to stay on the moon for long in the future, there will be a need for a source of food. It’s really a challenge, but scientists are taking steps toward making moon farming possible. Now Chinese researchers said that they had found a way to make moon soil used for farming by introducing Earth bacteria (细菌).
Researchers from China tested five kinds of bacteria. They found during a period of 10 to 21 days, three of them doubled phosphorus content (磷含量), which is necessary for the growth of plants.
In the next step of the study, the researchers grew model plants in man-made moon soil with the three kinds of bacteria for 24 days. They discovered that the plants had longer stems and roots (茎和根) after six days, and heavier and wider leaves after 24 days, compared with those grown without the bacteria.
Besides, in another 24-day test, scientists found that plants with those bacteria had more chlorophyll (叶绿素), which helps plants use energy from light to grow.
China has made a plan for landing astronauts on the moon before 2030 to do scientific studies.
As astronauts need to live on the moon for a long time, bringing all food to the moon will cost a lot of money. Growing plants there will be helpful. However, earlier tests showed that moon soil is bad for growing plants. Many people began to feel hopeless. But this test offers them a good possible pick-me-up.

Last December, when An Lingfei, a doctor from an Inner Mongolia medical team, arrived in Kigali, the capital city of Rwanda (卢旺达), he set up a center in the Masaka District Hospital. Since then, the China-Rwanda Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) Treatment Center has increased in popularity.
According to An, the center now receives an average of more than 30 people daily, with most of them suffering from lower back pain or knee and ankle joint (踝关节) pain. Rwanda is known as the land of a thousand hills. Locals often have to walk on mountain roads year-round, which can lead to joint stress.
“TCM has great advantages in treating these diseases, and the effects (效果) are very good,” An said. “The center now provides most kinds of TCM treatments, allowing local people to experience Eastern medicine.”
Naomin, a 60-year-old patient, is amazed by TCM. She was unable to walk due to serious pain in both knees and ankles. But after a month of treatment at the center, she is now able to walk around with a walking stick. “The treatment has been a huge help,” she said.
Another patient, Mukagatare, said that his back pain disappeared after three TCM treatments. According to him, doctors at the local hospitals had been unable to make a clear diagnosis (诊断) after many examinations, let alone reduce the pain.
Besides treating patients, the center also educates locals about TCM and Chinese culture.
Up to now, TCM has spread to nearly 200 countries and areas with its worldwide influence continuously growing. “From treating a common cold to chronic (慢性的) and difficult diseases, TCM can all play an important role,” a Chinese expert said.
1.Where did An Lingfei set up the TCM Treatment Center?
A.In China. B.In Kigali. C.In his home. D.In Inner Mongolia.
2.Why do many locals in Rwanda suffer from joint pain?
A.Because their average ages are over sixty.
B.Because they are given a wrong diagnosis.
C.Because they can’t go to the local hospitals.
D.Because they often walk on mountain roads.
3.What improvement did Naomin achieve after a month of TCM treatment?
A.Her back pain disappeared. B.Her knees didn’t hurt anymore.
C.She could move around again. D.She didn’t need a walking stick.
4.What can we infer from the passage?
A.The local hospitals in Rwanda are not responsible (有责任心的).
B.There are no effective ways to treat chronic diseases.
C.TCM will have increasing popularity around the world.
D.An’s center mainly focuses on spreading Chinese culture.
5.What’s the main idea of the passage?
A.The popularity of TCM. B.The hidden power of TCM.
C.The development of TCM. D.The bright future of TCM.
In the 13th century, the famous Italian traveler, Marco Polo, traveled a long way to China. During his stay in China, he saw many wonderful things. One of the things he discovered was that the Chinese used paper money. In western countries, people did not use paper money until the 15th century. However, people in China began to use paper money in the 7th century.
A Chinese man called Cai Lun invented paper almost 2,000 years ago. He made it from wood. He took the wood from the tree and made it into paper. He then put these pieces of paper together and made them into a book.
Now paper still comes from trees. We use a lot of paper every day. If we keep on wasting so much paper, there will not be any trees left on the earth. If there are no trees, there will be no paper. Every day, people throw away about 2,800 tons (吨) of paper in our city. It takes 17 trees to make one ton of paper. This means that we are cutting nearly 48,000 trees every day.
Since it takes more than 10 years for a tree to grow, we must start using less paper now. If we don’t, we will not have enough time to grow more trees to take the place of those we use for paper.
So how can we save paper? We can use both sides of every piece of paper, especially when we are making notes. We can choose drinks in bottles instead of those in paper packets. We can also use cotton handkerchiefs (手帕) and not paper ones. When we go shopping, we can use fewer paper bags. If the shop assistant does give us a paper bag, we can save it and reuse it later.
Everyone can help to save paper. If we all think carefully, we can help protect trees. But we should do it now, before it is too late.

Do you pay attention to the technology in daily life? As technology keeps improving, our lives will be different from what they used to be like. In the future, we’ll have cooler and greener ways to travel. For example, solar cars (太阳能汽车) and electric cars will become more popular. Driverless vehicles (无人驾驶车辆) will also be common, making trips safer and easier.
At work, artificial intelligence (AI) will help us do many things quickly. In factories, robots will do their jobs with high precision (精确性). We’ll study and communicate online, and everything will be connected through the Internet. Students might stay at home and learn online instead of going to school every day. They can watch interesting video lessons and talk with teachers and classmates in virtual (虚拟的) classrooms.
Our homes will be full of high-technology devices (设备). Robots will help with housework. In factories, machines will replace workers, so factories won’t need too many workers. Robots can even be our friends. They’ll use AI to talk and play with us. We can get information and talk to others faster. We can enjoy food, have fun, and read news whenever we want.
However, there might be some problems. With technology, we might become too lazy and spend much time on smart devices. Then many of us could even have problems with our mind and body. To stay healthy, we need to exercise and spend time outdoors. Schools could organize more outdoor activities, like hiking and cycling trips. Although life will be more convenient, we mustn’t forget to care about others or build real friendships. We can have face-to-face meetings with friends, share our experiences, and enjoy each other’s company.
The future is exciting! With technology and our efforts, we can create a better world where people will live happily and healthily.

【中考真题】
Sunshine does make people happier. Imagine how cheerful you are when it clears up after long cold rainy days. Let’s discover science behind sunlight.
Sunlight causes you to produce a chemical (化学物质) called serotonin (血清素). When you are exposed to sunlight, your body will make more serotonin. Higher levels of serotonin will keep you in good spirits. At night, when there is little or no light, your body produces another chemical-melatonin (褪黑激素). It helps your body relax and will make you feel tired, which can prepare you for a good night’s sleep. You should keep a good balance between these two chemicals.
However, for many people, it is hard to balance sunlight with darkness. People who stay indoors a lot may not get enough sunlight. The light in a house is usually about 100 times less than that outside on a sunny day. That’s why it is believed that those people should get outside in the sunshine. They can get some exercise, enjoy the fresh air and be happy, all at the same time.
There are places where it gets dark for a long time in the winter. People in those places are easier to get seasonal affective disorder (SAD). People with SAD usually go through bad experiences such as low energy and sadness. The most common treatment for those people is to sit under bright artificial (人工的) lights for some time.
The roles that sunshine plays in people’s life are more than those above. For example, your body produces Vitamin D (维生素D) from sunlight, which is important for being healthy. In fact, there is more science about sunlight for you to discover. So next time, when you notice the sunshine on your shoulder, take a moment to think, “Why do we love sunshine?”

【答案】1.A 2.B 3.B 4.D 5.A
【导语】本文主要介绍阳光对于人们的影响。
1.词句猜测题。根据“Sunlight causes you to produce a chemical (化学物质) called serotonin (血清素). When you are exposed to sunlight, your body will make more serotonin.”可知,阳光会促使你体内产生一种名为血清素的化学物质。当你暴露在阳光下时,你的身体会分泌出更多的血清素。“are exposed to”表示“暴露于”,与“stay in”语意相近。故选A。
2.段落大意题。分析第二段内容可知,本段主要介绍光是如何通过化学物质影响人的,故选B。
3.推理判断题。根据“That’s why it is believed that those people should get outside in the sunshine.”可知,这就是为什么人们认为那些人应该到户外去晒晒太阳的原因。对应B选项是观点,其他三项是事实。故选B。
4.细节理解题。根据“People with SAD usually go through bad experiences such as low energy and sadness. The most common treatment for those people is to sit under bright artificial (人工的) lights for some time.”可知,对于这类患者,最常见的治疗方法是坐在明亮的人造灯光下一段时间。故选D。
5.推理判断题。根据“So next time, when you notice the sunshine on your shoulder, take a moment to think, ‘Why do we love sunshine?’”可知,所以下次当你看到阳光洒在你的肩头时,就花点时间思考一下:“我们为什么喜欢阳光呢?”由此可推断,作者是为了鼓励读者多了解阳光。故选A。
An old saying used for forecasting (预测) the weather says, “Red sky at night, sailors’ delight. Red sky in the morning, sailors (水手) take warning.” Is the saying true? It turns out that it is. A red sky at sunset may mean that there are clear skies to the west, where the sun sets. A red sky at sunrise usually means that the clear weather has already passed, so storms might be coming.
Forecasting the weather has been practiced for thousands of years. In the 5th century BC, the Greeks sent out forecasts to sailors. They used signs in nature to forecast the weather. But today, meteorologists send exact forecasts further in advance (提前). They use scientific instruments to study weather conditions around the world and make forecasts. Pilots, farmers and many other people depend on these forecasts. Luckily, most of us can simply look on the smart phone or turn on the TV to find out what kind of weather is coming.
If you are looking for some signs of the weather, pay attention to nature. There are two basic rules used in weather forecasting: Weather generally moves from west to east, and low air pressure (压力) usually means rain or snow. So pay attention to the signs. If rainbows form in the west at sunrise, the sun is on the way. Smell the flowers—their smells are stronger in wet air. What are the ants doing? Are they moving to higher ground? This could mean a drop in air pressure. Are the birds flying low or high? Falling air pressure may influence birds’ ears, so they fly low. And if the sky is red at sunset, you might plan a picnic for the next day!
根据材料内容选择最佳答案。
1.What is the old saying about?
A.The beauty of sunrise. B.The night sky.
C.The signs of the weather. D.The sailors’ work.

2.词句猜测题。根据“But today, meteorologists send exact forecasts further in advance (提前).”可知,提前发布准确的预报的应该是气象学家,故选D。
3.细节理解题。根据“In the 5th century BC, the Greeks sent out forecasts to sailors. ... Luckily, most of us can simply look on the smart phone or turn on the TV to find out what kind of weather is coming.”可知,希腊人利用自然界的迹象来预报天气,气象学家使用科学仪器研究世界各地的天气状况并做出预测,也可以看一下智能手机或打开电视来了解天气。所以作者在第二段通过介绍不同的天气预报方法展开他的观点,故选C。
4.细节理解题。根据“Smell the flowers—their smells are stronger in wet air.”可知,闻闻花——它们的气味在潮湿的空气中更强烈。故选B。
5.主旨大意题。本文主要介绍利用自然界的迹象来预报天气,是在解释自然可以告诉我们天气情况。故选C。

In recent years, more and more homeless animals have been seen in cities. This makes people worry about possible problems between these animals and humans.
But there are good changes in the situation. A new study shows that the number of homeless dogs in Shanghai is growing more slowly than last year. These homeless dogs are living peacefully in Shanghai’s communities. It also shows that people in Shanghai and homeless animals may live together peacefully for a long time.
This good change doesn’t happen by accident. Over the past year, the city and communities have tried hard to make this “peaceful coexistence (共存)” come true.
A study last year found that there were 3,000 to 5,000 homeless dogs in Shanghai. The number of homeless dogs in communities is closely related to neighborhood management. For example, feeding homeless dogs in a wrong way and throwing kitchen waste carelessly can make more homeless dogs appear. Because it becomes easier for these animals to find food.
Over the past year, communities and local governments have taken actions. They not only ask people to throw kitchen waste correctly, but also put up notice boards. They call on people to feed homeless dogs only at fixed times and places.
More importantly, they have been spreading knowledge about homeless dogs. They use brochures (宣传小册子), picture books, meetings and other ways to help people understand homeless animals better.
However, there is still more work for the city and people to do to keep this peaceful coexistence.

Paper is one of the most important inventions in human history. Before paper, people wrote on heavy materials like animal bones and bamboo, which were hard to use and carry. The invention of paper meant that more people could be educated because books and knowledge could be shared more easily. It provided a very important way to communicate.
Paper was first made in China around 100 B.C. People used silk waste to make paper. The process had several steps: first, the material was put in water, then cooked and beaten into a soft mix. A thin bamboo tool was placed into this mix, coming out with a fine covering on it. After the unwanted water was pressed out, it was left to dry on a hot wall, and then a piece of paper could be taken off. The paper made with these materials was not very good. It was also expensive.
Then around 105 A.D., a man in China named Cai Lun, known as the inventor of the paper we use today, came up with a better and cheaper way to make paper. His way also made it possible to make a lot of paper at once.
The knowledge of papermaking spread from China to its neighbors, Korea and Japan, and later reached Europe mainly through the Silk Road. However, paper was not commonly used in the West until about 1400. Later, countries with many forests like Canada, Sweden, Norway, Finland and the United States became key paper producers. Today, Finland makes the best paper and has the biggest paper industry in the world.
When we think of paper, we think of books, newspapers, and letters. It is clear that the invention of paper brought a huge change to human life, making it possible for printing to be invented later. Paper truly plays an important role in our lives.

Many students think math is difficult. But with the right ways, you can learn it well and even have fun.
Understand the basics first. Before you start solving hard problems, make sure you know the basics really well. If you don’t understand these, it will be impossible to do more difficult math problems. Practice simple problems every day. Spend about 15 minutes a day on this, and you’ll get better at the basics quickly.
Practice regularly (定期地). Math is like a game—the more you play, the better you get. Don’t let a day pass without math practice. Your math book has lots of problems. Try to do at least 10 problems each day. If you find a type of problem difficult, do more of them. For example, if you have problems with distance and speed, keep practicing them until you understand them well.
Make a study plan. It’s important to plan your math study time. Decide when you will study math each day. It could be right after school or in the evening. Write it down on a piece of paper. For example, “I will study math from 4:30 to 5:30 every day.” This way, you can remember to study and you can focus (集中注意力) better.
Ask for help. If you don’t understand something in math, don’t be shy. Ask the teacher or classmates. They will be happy to help you. Maybe your teacher can explain it in a different way that you can understand. You can also join a study group with friends. You can work on math problems together and help each other.
Remember, learning math takes time. But if you try the ways above, you will see that math is not so hard after all, and you will get better at it day by day. So why not have a try?

Some animals can easily find their way home after a long journey. How do they make it? Scientific research shows that they are born with certain unusual abilities for direction.
A certain kind of ants, for example, can count their steps to avoid getting lost. They can go as far as 110 meters and bring food home. These ants live in the open desert, so they have nothing to guide them along the way. It’s like someone walking six kilometers through a dark forest.
Some fish have an unbelievable sense of smell. They can smell even a single drop of their home water in a large sea area. Some sea birds have a similar ability. They are able to make a smell map of their flying area.
Some animals can sense the earth’s magnetic field (磁场), while humans can’t. This magnetic field guides a certain kind of fish when they swim a long way to a place and then back. How can this kind of fish do that? It is still a puzzle. Scientists have no good answers yet.
However, animals with such unusual abilities still have difficulty dealing with environmental changes caused by human activities. For example, many birds depend on stars for direction, but they get lost easily when city lights are kept on all night. To solve this problem, we can simply turn off some lights at night. Clearly, one small act of humans may mean a lot to animals.

We often think the Arctic (北极) only has snow and ice. But in fact, it has far more than that!
The Arctic is at the top of the Earth. The Arctic Ocean makes up two-thirds of the Arctic, while one-third is made up of land in eight countries, including Russia, Canada, and the US.
The Arctic lands have many various lives. Some plants and animals can grow in very cold temperatures. In fact, the Arctic is home to more than 21,000 kinds of life. There are whales, Arctic foxes and many more. The polar bear is the most famous Arctic animal.
You might think that the Arctic is too cold for people to live in. But surprisingly, there are about 4 million people living there. That’s the same population as the city of Taiyuan in Shanxi, China. About 10 percent are local people. They have been there for thousands of years. They make a living by fishing, hunting and so on.
A group of scientists recently came back from a one-year-long study in the Arctic. They have bad news: The Arctic is dying. The amount of Arctic sea ice is falling by around 3 percent every year. There will be no more ice during the summer in the near future. What does this mean to us? Many animals, such as polar bears, hunt for their food on the ice. If they can’t do this anymore, they will die of hunger. Local people hunt animals for food. But since so many animals are dying, they need to change their way of life.

Not all fruits change colour, but many do. The colour change is a way for fruits to show animals that they are ready to be eaten. It’s nature’s way of saying, “Come and get it!”
Why do fruits show they are ripe (熟的)? Because it helps plants grow. When an animal eats a ripe fruit, the seeds (种子) travel through its body and are dropped in a new place later. This allows the plant to grow in new places.
Sometimes, fruit seeds are covered by a soft coating (外衣), and this makes it hard for them to grow. When the seeds pass through an animal’s body, the soft coating is taken away, and that makes it easier for the seeds to grow.
But this only works if the seeds are ripe. If not, all of the above efforts will be wasted. So it’s important to protect seeds while they’re still growing. How can they make sure of the safety of the seeds before they are ripe? To solve the problem, fruits use some smart tricks. One trick is to look green. Fruits that are not fully grown have chlorophyll (叶绿素). It makes them green and helps them hide among the leaves. Once the fruits are mature, the chlorophyll breaks down, and they show bright colors like yellow, orange, red, blue, or purple. These colors make the fruits easier for animals to see.
Besides changing colour, ripe fruits also get softer and sweeter, and many give off a sweet smell. Animals know these signs mean the fruits are good to eat. It’s a win-win situation for both the animals and the plants: animals get food, and plants get their seeds spread!

Do you know that construction (建筑) is one of the biggest users of energy and one of the biggest polluters? According to AI Magazine, construction is responsible for using 38% of the world’s energy. The building part alone takes up almost 55% of final energy use and 33% of greenhouse gases. It’s also known that steel produces a lot of material waste in building construction.
Because of this big challenge, the future of sustainable (可持续的) construction may lie with AI. AI is able to study building efficiency (效率) performance by grouping data to find the best chances for sustainable material usage. With a tool like AI, the future of sustainable construction could progress much faster than in the past. Besides, AI helps architects (建筑师) work with new tools and sustainable materials to create better buildings and cities of the future. For example, construction 3D printing guided by AI can offer better choices for building materials to save money, and map out how construction materials could be recycled.
In a professional article, AI is praised as a tool for sustainable construction. “In recent years, AI has become a promising tool for construction. AI can examine a large number of data sets on weather conditions and help to make full use of building systems for energy efficiency, water protection and other goals.”
AI can be used to speed up the future of sustainable construction to set standards for the industry and make construction more efficient and affordable. Like any other computer, AI is a tool that is good at studying data sets, but for the moment it still requires smart and ethical (有道德的) human beings to lead its work. All of that has to be done with respect for humans, so it’s really up to us to make it work.

Carbon dioxide (CO₂) is one of Earth’s most common greenhouse gases. It is important for life on the planet. Too much, however, can be very dangerous.
In the past 60 years, CO₂ in the air has increased 100—200 times faster than it did during the end of the last ice age. This puts all the living things on Earth in great danger. So, many people and governments are working to solve the problem.
One solution is called Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS). This process catches CO₂ produced by human activities and stores it underground so it does not go into the air. But this process itself needs energy produced by fossil fuels (化石燃料) and costs a lot of money. Also, it faces ongoing (持续的) questions about the long- term safety of underground CO₂ storage.
Luckily, there is good news. Researchers at the University of Cambridge have developed a CO₂-eating machine. It collects CO₂ directly from the air and turns it into useful fuels using sunlight.
The machine works in a daily cycle (周期). At night, it catches CO₂ from the air using its special filters (过滤器). When daylight arrives, a mirror on it collects the sunlight together. The sunlight heats the CO₂ and turns it into a gas called syngas. The syngas can then be turned into fuels.
Compared with CCS, the technology is safer, cleaner, and cheaper, making it a game-changer for solving the problem of too much CO₂. The researchers are now working on improving the technology. They say that if it can be used widely, it could kill two birds with one stone: reducing CO₂ in the air and creating clean fuels. Where there is waste, there is treasure.

What’s your favorite song? What do you like about it? Do you often share the music you like with a friend or family member? Do they like it as much as you do? Maybe they do—or maybe not. Sometimes, people’s musical tastes can be very different.
Why do we like some styles of music but not others? There are several reasons.
One reason is personality (性格). Are you quiet or loud? Peaceful or full of energy? People often choose music that matches who they are.
Another reason is age. Your favorite songs may not be the same as your parents’. The music you listen to during your teenage years has many effects on your musical tastes for the rest of your life. However, it’s also common for these tastes to change as you get older.
Environment also matters. The place and culture you grow up in affects the music you hear. That’s why when people move to new places or meet new people, they often hear different styles of music.
Your mood can change your music choices, too. On some days when you feel sad, you may want slow, soft songs. But on others, you may want fast and loud songs.
All these things—personality, age, environment, mood help shape (塑造) your musical taste. ▲ Respect their choices and they’ll respect yours!

So far, humans have landed on the moon six times. If humans want to stay on the moon for long in the future, there will be a need for a source of food. It’s really a challenge, but scientists are taking steps toward making moon farming possible. Now Chinese researchers said that they had found a way to make moon soil used for farming by introducing Earth bacteria (细菌).
Researchers from China tested five kinds of bacteria. They found during a period of 10 to 21 days, three of them doubled phosphorus content (磷含量), which is necessary for the growth of plants.
In the next step of the study, the researchers grew model plants in man-made moon soil with the three kinds of bacteria for 24 days. They discovered that the plants had longer stems and roots (茎和根) after six days, and heavier and wider leaves after 24 days, compared with those grown without the bacteria.
Besides, in another 24-day test, scientists found that plants with those bacteria had more chlorophyll (叶绿素), which helps plants use energy from light to grow.
China has made a plan for landing astronauts on the moon before 2030 to do scientific studies.
As astronauts need to live on the moon for a long time, bringing all food to the moon will cost a lot of money. Growing plants there will be helpful. However, earlier tests showed that moon soil is bad for growing plants. Many people began to feel hopeless. But this test offers them a good possible pick-me-up.

Last December, when An Lingfei, a doctor from an Inner Mongolia medical team, arrived in Kigali, the capital city of Rwanda (卢旺达), he set up a center in the Masaka District Hospital. Since then, the China-Rwanda Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) Treatment Center has increased in popularity.
According to An, the center now receives an average of more than 30 people daily, with most of them suffering from lower back pain or knee and ankle joint (踝关节) pain. Rwanda is known as the land of a thousand hills. Locals often have to walk on mountain roads year-round, which can lead to joint stress.
“TCM has great advantages in treating these diseases, and the effects (效果) are very good,” An said. “The center now provides most kinds of TCM treatments, allowing local people to experience Eastern medicine.”
Naomin, a 60-year-old patient, is amazed by TCM. She was unable to walk due to serious pain in both knees and ankles. But after a month of treatment at the center, she is now able to walk around with a walking stick. “The treatment has been a huge help,” she said.
Another patient, Mukagatare, said that his back pain disappeared after three TCM treatments. According to him, doctors at the local hospitals had been unable to make a clear diagnosis (诊断) after many examinations, let alone reduce the pain.
Besides treating patients, the center also educates locals about TCM and Chinese culture.
Up to now, TCM has spread to nearly 200 countries and areas with its worldwide influence continuously growing. “From treating a common cold to chronic (慢性的) and difficult diseases, TCM can all play an important role,” a Chinese expert said.
1.Where did An Lingfei set up the TCM Treatment Center?
A.In China. B.In Kigali. C.In his home. D.In Inner Mongolia.
2.Why do many locals in Rwanda suffer from joint pain?
A.Because their average ages are over sixty.
B.Because they are given a wrong diagnosis.
C.Because they can’t go to the local hospitals.
D.Because they often walk on mountain roads.
3.What improvement did Naomin achieve after a month of TCM treatment?
A.Her back pain disappeared. B.Her knees didn’t hurt anymore.
C.She could move around again. D.She didn’t need a walking stick.
4.What can we infer from the passage?
A.The local hospitals in Rwanda are not responsible (有责任心的).
B.There are no effective ways to treat chronic diseases.
C.TCM will have increasing popularity around the world.
D.An’s center mainly focuses on spreading Chinese culture.

In the 13th century, the famous Italian traveler, Marco Polo, traveled a long way to China. During his stay in China, he saw many wonderful things. One of the things he discovered was that the Chinese used paper money. In western countries, people did not use paper money until the 15th century. However, people in China began to use paper money in the 7th century.
A Chinese man called Cai Lun invented paper almost 2,000 years ago. He made it from wood. He took the wood from the tree and made it into paper. He then put these pieces of paper together and made them into a book.
Now paper still comes from trees. We use a lot of paper every day. If we keep on wasting so much paper, there will not be any trees left on the earth. If there are no trees, there will be no paper. Every day, people throw away about 2,800 tons (吨) of paper in our city. It takes 17 trees to make one ton of paper. This means that we are cutting nearly 48,000 trees every day.
Since it takes more than 10 years for a tree to grow, we must start using less paper now. If we don’t, we will not have enough time to grow more trees to take the place of those we use for paper.
So how can we save paper? We can use both sides of every piece of paper, especially when we are making notes. We can choose drinks in bottles instead of those in paper packets. We can also use cotton handkerchiefs (手帕) and not paper ones. When we go shopping, we can use fewer paper bags. If the shop assistant does give us a paper bag, we can save it and reuse it later.
Everyone can help to save paper. If we all think carefully, we can help protect trees. But we should do it now, before it is too late.

【导语】本文是一篇说明文,主要介绍了纸币的历史、纸张的来源、浪费纸张的严重性以及节约纸张的方法,旨在呼吁人们节约用纸,保护树木。
1.细节理解题。根据第一段“In western countries, people did not use paper money until the 15th century. However, people in China began to use paper money in the 7th century.”可知,西方人直到15世纪才开始使用纸币,而中国人在7世纪就开始使用纸币了,因此中国人比西方人更早开始使用纸币。故选D。
2.推理判断题。根据第三段“Every day, people throw away about 2,800 tons of paper in our city. It takes 17 trees to make one ton of paper. This means that we are cutting nearly 48,000 trees every day.”可知,作者提到每天扔掉的纸张数量和制造一吨纸所需的树木数量,是为了展示由于纸张使用而浪费的树木数量之多。故选C。
3.主旨大意题。第三段和第四段主要讲述了纸张的来源是树木,而人们每天浪费大量纸张,导致大量树木被砍伐,同时树木生长缓慢,因此必须开始节约用纸,否则将没有足够的时间种植更多的树木来替代我们用于造纸的树木。因此,这两段的主要目的是警告人们浪费纸张的问题及其影响。故选B。
4.细节理解题。根据第五段“We can use both sides of every piece of paper, especially when we are making notes. We can choose drinks in bottles instead of those in paper packets. We can also use cotton handkerchiefs and not paper ones. When we go shopping, we can use fewer paper bags. If the shop assistant does give us a paper bag, we can save it and reuse it later.”可知,文章提到的节约纸张的方法包括:做笔记时使用纸张的两面、选择瓶装饮料而不是纸质包装的饮料、使用棉手帕而不是纸手帕、购物时少用纸袋并重复使用纸袋。因此,选项C“使用塑料手帕而不是棉手帕”不是文章提到的节约纸张的方法。故选C。
5.细节理解题。根据第四段“Since it takes more than 10 years for a tree to grow, we must start using less paper now. If we don’t, we will not have enough time to grow more trees to take the place of those we use for paper.”可知,树木生长需要超过10年的时间,因此我们必须现在开始节约用纸,否则将没有足够的时间种植更多的树木来替代我们用于造纸的树木。因此,选项D“没有必要急于种植新树”是不正确的。故选D。
Do you pay attention to the technology in daily life? As technology keeps improving, our lives will be different from what they used to be like. In the future, we’ll have cooler and greener ways to travel. For example, solar cars (太阳能汽车) and electric cars will become more popular. Driverless vehicles (无人驾驶车辆) will also be common, making trips safer and easier.
At work, artificial intelligence (AI) will help us do many things quickly. In factories, robots will do their jobs with high precision (精确性). We’ll study and communicate online, and everything will be connected through the Internet. Students might stay at home and learn online instead of going to school every day. They can watch interesting video lessons and talk with teachers and classmates in virtual (虚拟的) classrooms.
Our homes will be full of high-technology devices (设备). Robots will help with housework. In factories, machines will replace workers, so factories won’t need too many workers. Robots can even be our friends. They’ll use AI to talk and play with us. We can get information and talk to others faster. We can enjoy food, have fun, and read news whenever we want.
However, there might be some problems. With technology, we might become too lazy and spend much time on smart devices. Then many of us could even have problems with our mind and body. To stay healthy, we need to exercise and spend time outdoors. Schools could organize more outdoor activities, like hiking and cycling trips. Although life will be more convenient, we mustn’t forget to care about others or build real friendships. We can have face-to-face meetings with friends, share our experiences, and enjoy each other’s company.
The future is exciting! With technology and our efforts, we can create a better world where people will live happily and healthily.
