Because of too much fishing, almost 90 percent of the worldwide population of large fish—the ones we usually eat—has disappeared. If we don’t act, these animals will totally disappear. That will influence every animal in the ocean. The demand for fish is growing. Almost a billion people around the world get their protein (蛋白质) mostly from fish. Doctors praise seafood for being low in fat. But what seems like a healthy choice for humans is causing a disaster to our oceans. “People are consuming (消费) too much,” says Lance Morgan, a scientist at the Marine Conservation Biology Institute. A dish of tuna in restaurants costs more than just one animal's life. When fish like tuna disappear from the ecosystem (生态系统), the ocean’s food chain (链) breaks down. Animals such as sharks, which normally eat tuna, may die because they find no food. The news may be scary, but taking action from now on can prevent harm that hasn’t happened yet. World organizations are ordering countries to stop fishing too much. The Monterey Bay Aquarium gives seafood choices to anyone hoping to keep healthy without destroying the environment. “If you care about wildlife, first spend time and think about your own values and beliefs,” says Morgan. “Then decide what you’re going to eat.” 1．How does the writer start the text? A．By giving a fact. B．By asking a question. C．By telling a story. D．By using a saying. 2．What does the underlined word “demand” in Paragraph 2 probably mean? A．Wish. B．Support. C．Need. D．Price. 3．From Paragraph 3, we know that ________. A．if sharks die out, tuna will die out soon B．tuna will be more popular in restaurants C．tuna plays an important role in the ecosystem D．tuna disappeared because they found no food 4．What’s the purpose of the text? A．To tell people to stop polluting our oceans. B．To tell people to protect wildlife in oceans. C．To tell people to avoid eating too much seafood. D．To tell people to live a balanced and healthy life. 5．What does the last paragraph of the article explain ________. A．We need to care about wildlife B．We need to eat wild animals C．We need to reflect on our own values and beliefs D．We don’t want to protect wild animals 【答案】1．A 2．C 3．C 4．B 5．C 【导语】本文作者通过科学家10年对金枪鱼的研究数据，向读者说明由于人们对鱼类需求的增加，造成了海洋生态系统的破坏，呼吁人们保护海洋中的野生动物。 1．推理判断题。根据“After a 10-year project to count tuna and other large fish in the world’s oceans, scientists have made a very surprising discovery...”可知，作者根据科学家研究发现事实引入本文内容。故选A。 2．词句猜测题。根据划线单词所在句子后面内容“Almost a billion people around the world get their protein (蛋白质) mostly from fish. Doctors praise seafood for being low in fat.”可知，很多人从鱼肉中获取蛋白质，医生也称赞海洋食物低脂肪，推测出因此造成了对鱼类需求的增加。因此，demand意为“需求”，与need同义。故选C。 3．推理判断题。根据“When fish like tuna disappear from the ecosystem (生态系统), the ocean’s food chain (链) breaks down.”可知，金枪鱼在生态系统中起着重要作用。故选C。 4．推理判断题。根据“If we don’t act, these animals will totally disappear.”和“If you care about wildlife, first spend time and think about your own values and beliefs”可知，作者通过本文想要呼吁人们保护海洋中的野生动物。故选B。 5．细节理解题。根据“ ‘If you care about wildlife, first spend time and think about your own values and beliefs,’ says Morgan. ‘Then decide what you’re going to eat.’ ”可知，作者在最后一段表明了我们需要反思我们自己的价值观和信仰，故选C。 中考模拟真题练习 The 2026 CCTV Spring Festival Gala became a big stage for China’s fast‑growing robot industry. Four top technology companies — Unitree, Magic Lab, Galaxy General Robotics and Songyan Power — showed many amazing and modern robots. These smart machines soon became one of the most popular topics of the year. These robots did not just appear anywhere. Instead, they played special and important roles in different shows. In the performance Wu BOT, Unitree robots acted together with young martial artists. They performed perfect stick and nunchaku (双节棍) movements, showing great balance, speed and top‑level control. In the short play Grandma’s Favorite, actress Cai Ming worked with a very human‑like robot from Songyan Power. Their show was warm and funny, and it proved that technology can help people in daily life. At the same time, in the short film with Shen Teng and Ma Li, a robot from Galaxy General Robotics took part in gentle and natural activities, making high‑tech feel close and easy to understand. The influence of the gala went far beyond the stage itself. According to official news reports, online searches and sales orders for robots rose sharply only a few hours after the show. Many types of robots sold out in minutes, because people’s great interest quickly became real market needs. As major media pointed out, this strong interest shows an important change: robots are moving from being just something to watch into something people really need. They are no longer just for fun. They are entering homes, care services and factories, with more and more practical uses. Although some people worry that machines might take the place of human warmth, the gala makes it clear that technology and human feelings can work well together. The 2026 gala is more than just a wonderful visual show. It shows China’s growing power in smart production and artificial intelligence. As robots become a part of everyday life, they will not only bring greater convenience but also spread Chinese culture in a new way. They will connect tradition and new ideas to build a smarter future. 1．What is the first paragraph mainly about? A．The long history of robotics development in China. B．The robots’ excellent performances at the 2026 Spring Festival Gala. C．The popularity and significance of robots at the 2026 Spring Festival Gala.

LEGO has already been a successful company in the world. Actually, there are many ups and downs along with its development. The LEGO company was set up in 1934. The name comes from the Danish “leg godt” , meaning “to play well”. Ole Kirk Kristiansen, the founder of LEGO, was a master carpenter（木匠）, so it’s not surprising that the first LEGO toys were made of wood. They were simple, such as wooden ducks. In 1942, the factory that made wooden LEGO toys was burned to the ground. This made Ole realize the disadvantages of working with wood. Soon Ole found out that plastic is a good material to make toys. LEGO started making self-locking bricks in 1949. But it wasn’t until 1958, when the locking design was much improved, that sales began to rise. Because of its quality and the endless creativity that it lets children have, LEGO achieved huge success. In 2000, children began to spend more time playing video games. By 2003, LEGO’s sales were down by 30%, and LEGO nearly went broke. The turning point appeared in 2004 when LEGO focused again on its bricks. And it also worked with films and television. The Internet was used to build a LEGO group where fans show their love for LEGO collections. In 2015, it again became a name known to the world. 1．How does the writer show the popularity of LEGO in Paragraph 1? A．By telling a story. B．By giving examples. C．By listing numbers. D．By asking questions. 2．What does the underlined word “this” mean in Paragraph 2? A．LEGO toys. B．Wooden ducks. C．The factory.

To solve the food problem for long-term lunar stays, scientists are exploring plant growth on the Moon. However, lunar soil is very poor—it lacks nutrients like nitrogen (氮)and has phosphorus (磷)that plants can’t easily take in. A new study by Chinese Agricultural University researchers found that Earth soil bacteria could be the solution. They tested five bacteria species on simulated (模拟的)lunar soil. Within 10 to 21 days, three species turned hard-to-absorb phosphorus into a form plants can use, doubling its amount. When they grew tobacco (烟草)plants in this treated soil, the plants had longer roots and stems after 6 days. After 24 days, the plants were heavier with wider leaves, and their chlorophyll (叶绿素)content, which helps plants get energy from light, was over twice as high as those grown without bacteria. This study is great news for future lunar missions. Using lunar soil as growing material with bacteria can save rocket space, as it won’t need to carry full growing systems from Earth. In the future, scientists hope to test real lunar soil and grow main crops like corn and potatoes. 1．What is the purpose of growing plants on the Moon? A．To test if plants can grow on the Moon. B．To solve the food problem for long stays. C．To study bacteria in lunar environment. D．To produce nitrogen and phosphorus. 2．How did the bacteria help plants grow? A．They produced phosphorus directly. B．They doubled the amount of plants. C．They protected plants from bad bacteria. D．They turned phosphorus into a useful form. 3．What happened to tobacco plants in treated soil after 6 days? A．Their roots and stems became longer. B．They had heavier and wider leaves. C．They started to get energy from light. D．They had higher chlorophyll content. 4．What can we learn from Paragraph 3? A．Plants grew better with bacteria in soil. B．Tobacco plants grew roots after 6 days. C．Chlorophyll produced energy for plants. D．Plants couldn’t grow without bacteria. 5．Where is the text most probably from? A．A book review. B．A science fiction. C．A news website. D．A guidebook. 【答案】1．B 2．D 3．A 4．A 5．C 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了科学家利用地球土壤细菌改良模拟月球土壤，帮助植物生长，为解决未来长期驻留月球的食物问题提供新思路。 1．根据第一段第二句“To solve the food problem for long-term lunar stays, scientists are exploring plant growth on the Moon.”可知，科学家探索在月球上种植植物的目的是为了解决长期驻留的食物问题。 2．根据第二段第三句“three species turned hard-to-absorb phosphorus into a form plants can use”可知，细菌将难以吸收的磷转化成了植物可利用的形式。 3．根据第三段第一句“When they grew tobacco plants in this treated soil, the plants had longer roots and stems after 6 days.”可知，处理后的土壤中，烟草植株在6天后根和茎变得更长。 4．第三段通过对比有无细菌处理的土壤中烟草的生长情况（根茎更长、植株更重、叶片更宽、叶绿素含量更高），说明添加细菌的土壤中植物长得更好。 5．文章报道了一项关于月球种植的最新科学研究成果，内容客观、信息新颖，属于科技新闻报道。因此最可能出自新闻网站。 A paralyzed (瘫痪的) patient can tell a robot dog to get a package just by thinking. A researcher can fly a drone without using their hands. A gamer can move a virtual character with only their thoughts. These are not scenes from sci-fi movies. They are real uses of brain-computer interface (BCI脑机接口) technology. BCIs are not just a small, special tool for hospitals. They are becoming a powerful tool that changes many fields, such as health care, space travel and entertainment. How Does a BCI Work? At its core, a BCI creates a direct communication link between the brain and an external device. It does not need the body’s usual nerves or muscles. When we think, our brains make very weak electrical signals. A BCI system can catch these signals in two ways: either with small devices put inside the body, or with a wearable EEG cap (脑电图帽). Then, it uses AI programs to turn these signals into commands for a computer or machine. There are two main types of BCIs: Invasive (侵入式) BCIs: They work very well, but they need an operation. They also have some risks, like getting an infection. Non-invasive BCIs: They are safer and easier to use. It is said that about 88% of BCI companies in China focus on this kind. China at the Forefront China’s BCI industry is growing very fast. More than 200 local companies are working on it. In top hospitals, new and important tests are helping paralyzed patients send messages or move a robot arm with their thoughts. BCIs are not only used in medicine. They are also used in planes—to control the plane’s cabin (机舱) without hands—and in smart factories—to help people and robots work together more easily. What’s more, some Chinese provinces now pay for some BCI treatments with basic health insurance. This makes the treatments easier for patients to get. A Thought-Controlled Future The global BCI market will grow a lot in the future. New progress in materials and AI decoding is opening up new possibilities. These include treating sadness, controlling smart homes and even making people’s thinking skills better. Many of these uses are already being tested. Of course, there are still some problems to solve. For example, we need to make BCI tools smaller, make sure they are safe for long-term use, and make good rules for their use. Even so, BCIs are ready to change how we live and interact with the world—one thought at a time. 1．What can we know about BCI technology from the first paragraph? A．It is only used in sci-fi movies. B．It is only a special tool for hospitals. C．It cannot be used in entertainment. D．It allows people to control things with their thoughts. 2．Why do most Chinese BCI companies focus on non-invasive BCIs? A．They work better than invasive BCIs. B．They need an operation but are safer. C．They are safer and more convenient to use. D．They are covered by basic health insurance. 3．What can we learn about the future of BCI technology? A．It will solve all problems and be widely used immediately. B．It will face challenges but has great development potential. C．It will only be used to treat sadness and control smart homes. D．It will stop developing because of safety issues. 4．Which of the following sentences is right? A．BCI needs nerves and muscles to connect the brain and devices. B．China has over 200 local companies working on BCI technology. C．Invasive BCIs are safer than non-invasive BCIs. D．BCI technology is not used in planes or smart factories. 5．What is the main idea of the passage? A．To introduce how to use non-invasive BCIs in daily life. B．To talk about the history of BCI technology in China. C．To explain why invasive BCIs are not popular. D．To introduce BCI, its working principle, development and future. 【答案】1．D 2．C 3．B 4．B 5．D 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍脑机接口 (BCI) 技术，探讨其工作原理、主要类型、中国的发展现状、未来应用前景以及面临的挑战。 1．细节理解题。根据“A paralyzed patient can tell a robot dog to get a package just by thinking.

When they post photos of home-cooked food or morning coffee with these words, they turn small daily things into a shared way of being kind to themselves. People say it is one of the kindest trends, and it touches many people deeply. It is more than just a saying. It makes the unclear idea of taking care of oneself become real. It gives comfort when people feel stressed and celebrates small happy moments. The key is to call oneself “Old Self”—a friendly name that lets people step back and talk to themselves kindly, just as they would to a close friend. This trend is popular for a reason. Today’s young people face a lot of pressure, such as non-stop exams and strong competition for university places and jobs. For example, a high school student in Beijing writes “Love You, Old Self” in her notebook to calm down after a hard exam. In such situations, being gently kind to oneself has become an important way to deal with pressure. Importantly, this is not an excuse to avoid difficulties. Instead, it helps people build more courage to get through hard times. To say “Love You, Old Self” means to recognize one’s own efforts, to allow oneself to rest when needed, and thus find a healthy balance. It is a cheap but useful way to keep emotions stable. It also changes where strength comes from—from others’ praise to believing in oneself. In the end, by being kind to themselves, young people are better able to deal with outside pressure. This gentle and steady power helps them find inner peace and shows a true fact: to really care for others, you must first be kind to yourself. 1．According to the passage, how does “Love You, Old Self” help young people? A．It helps them win more competitions. B．It helps them make good friends. C．It helps them deal with pressure and find balance. D．It helps them get into a good university. 2．What can we know about self-care from the passage? A．Self-care is an expensive way to relax and reduce stress. B．Self-care means avoiding all the difficulties in daily life. C．Self-care helps young people find inner peace and face pressure better. D．Self-care only needs to be done when people get good exam results. 3．Which of the following is NOT a reason why the trend is popular? A．Young people face a lot of pressure. B．It is a way to avoid difficulties. C．It helps young people find inner peace. D．It gives young people a way to care for themselves. 4．Which of the following sentences is right? A．The phrase “Love You, Old Self” can help them make more new friends. B．The phrase shows they are old enough to take care of themselves. C．The trend of “Love You, Old Self” makes the idea of self-care become real. D．The phrase makes young people become lazy and not want to face hard times. 5．What is the main idea of the passage? A．How to take good care of oneself. B．The importance of being kind to oneself. C．The pressure that Chinese young people face. D．The popularity and benefits of the phrase “Love You, Old Self”. 【答案】1．C 2．C 3．B 4．C 5．D 【导语】本文主要介绍了在中国年轻人中流行的“Love You, Old Self”这一潮流，分析了它流行的原因，阐述了该理念对年轻人的诸多益处，点明善待自己才能更好应对压力、获得内心平静。 1．细节理解题。根据第三段“being gently kind to oneself has become an important way to deal with pressure”和第四段“thus find a healthy balance”可知，“Love You, Old Self”能帮助年轻人应对压力、找到生活的健康平衡。故选C。 2．细节理解题。根据“In the end, by being kind to themselves, young people are better able to deal with outside pressure.

Instead of traditional textbooks and blackboards, students use virtual (虚拟的) reality (VR) technology and have interactive conversations with an AI character to explore language and culture. In one lesson, learners meet “Hannah”, a virtual French teenager worried about a New Year’s Eve dinner in China—she doesn’t know local traditions or basic rules. Their main task is to talk to her in English: offer useful advice, share cultural tips, and help her deal with “culture shock”. As they interact, students naturally practice conversational sentences while learning about Chinese customs. The high-tech experience doesn’t stop here. The classroom has VR headsets that take students to vivid, simulated (仿真的) environments. When they put on the devices, they feel like stepping into a busy international food festival, surrounded by food stalls. They can observe foods closely, listen to native speakers’ introductions, and “interact” with virtual sellers which makes vocabulary memorization far easier than repetition. “This isn’t just about memorizing textbook words,” said an English teacher. “It’s about using language in real-life situations. Students are more interested because they’re truly helping someone and exploring the world firsthand, not just taking in information inactively.” This creative use of technology shows how AI and VR can create powerful and fun learning experiences. It helps students practice English conversation naturally, build cultural understanding, and makes the classroom a gateway to the wider world. 1．What is the main task of students in the English lesson with “Hannah”? A．To help Hannah by talking in English. B．To teach Hannah to make French food. C．To tell Hannah about Chinese New Year. D．To talk to Hannah in French and give her advice. 2．What CAN’T students do when they put on the VR devices in the English lesson? A．Take a close look at foods. B．Have talks with a real French girl. C．Communicate with virtual sellers. D．Listen to native speakers’ introductions. 3．What does the underlined word “inactively” probably mean? A．In a very careful way. B．In a really happy way. C．Without doing much by themselves. D．Without doing things very carefully. 4．Which of the following statements is TRUE? A．These English lessons are just the same as traditional ones. B．Students in these English lessons only quietly receive information. C．The use of AI and VR makes English learning more powerful and enjoyable.

He’s narrated (解说) for so many television programs that his voice has been connected to the wonder of the natural world. But in his long career full of wild experiences, one memory still stands out. In 1957, when Attenborough was in his 30s, he traveled to Australia, where, for the first time in his life, he saw countless tiny fish swimming in the warm water. However, today that same view is likely to look worse as a result of human-caused ocean warming. In the new film Ocean with David Attenborough, the pioneering filmmaker talks about the great loss seen in his lifetime. Sure, there are still many images of the beautiful ocean life in the film, but they are met together with terrible death—seagrass is being completely destroyed by modern fishing ships, and a great number of fish are pulled onto ships. Attenborough says directly, “Ships from wealthy nations are making coastal communities short of the food they have depended on for many years.” The film’s final message, however, is quite positive. Attenborough believes in the ocean’s power to recover when the right environmental protections are set in place. He holds hope for the beautiful warm water in Australia. “I’d like to think that the area I first dived in is one of the lucky ones.” 1．What can be inferred about David Attenborough in paragraph 1? A．His voice is famous. B．His memory is good. C．He is quite young. D．He is tired of nature. 2．Who is making coastal communities short of food in paragraph 3? A．Warm water. B．Local fishermen. C．Rich countries’ ships. D．Pioneering filmmakers. 3．What does Attenborough believe in? A．He needs to dive in warm water again. B．He needs to make another positive film. C．The ocean will die from people’s activities. D．The ocean will recover with people’s protection. 4．What is the main idea of the passage? A．The ocean’s beauty and death. B．Attenborough’s career and hope. C．The problem of modern fishing ships. D．The ways of environmental protection. 5．In which part of a newspaper can we probably find the passage? A．Travel. B．Sport. C．Technology. D．Environment. 【答案】1．A 2．C 3．D 4．B 5．D 【导语】本文通过大卫·爱登堡的经历和观点，展示了海洋生态的变化、面临的问题以及通过保护实现恢复的希望。 1．推理判断题。根据第一段“He’s narrated (解说) for so many television programs that his voice has been connected to the wonder of the natural world.”可知，他的声音与自然奇观紧密相连，因此他的声音很著名。故选A。 2．细节理解题。根据第三段“Ships from wealthy nations are making coastal communities short of the food they have depended on for many years.”可知，富裕国家的船只导致沿海社区食物短缺。故选C。 3．细节理解题。根据最后一段“Attenborough believes in the ocean’s power to recover when the right environmental protections are set in place.”可知，爱登堡相信在适当的环境保护措施下，海洋能够恢复。故选D。 4．主旨大意题。文章前半部分回顾爱登堡的职业生涯和所见变化，后半部分表达他对海洋保护的信念与希望，因此主要讲“爱登堡的职业生涯与希望”。故选B。 5．推理判断题。本文围绕海洋生态变化与保护展开，属于环境话题，因此最可能出现在报纸的“环境”版块。故选D。 Though oceans cover about 71 percent of the earth’s surface, there’s still a lot we don’t know about them. Only about 20 percent of the seafloor has been mapped, and the remaining 80 percent is still a secret to us. Some scientists even think that 91 percent of sea animals have yet to be discovered. So why do we know so little about the deep sea? Well, getting to those depths is very difficult and requires high technology. The first navigable submarine (可驾驶的潜水艇), for example, was built in 1620, and it couldn’t go more than five meters below the surface. For a long time, many scientists didn’t even think that there could be any life at depths greater than 550 meters and didn’t see much need to explore the deep sea. However, this changed in 1862 when life was discovered as far down as 945 meters below sea level with the help of a digging machine. Ten years later, around 4,700 species unknown before were discovered. The discovery of new species has brought great hope to scientists in exploring the deep sea. Since then, high technology has been developed to help explore the deep sea, including satellites. But why is it so difficult? Well, at greater depths, it is freezing, everything is completely dark, and the pressure is greater than that on the surface. Though we have the difficulties, it’s important that we understand the seas. They help control the earth’s temperature, produce half of the oxygen in the air and provide us with information about climate change. Our future depends on learning more about our oceans, and it is possible for us to really understand what is ongoing below the surface. 1．Why are some numbers listed in Paragraph 1? A．To introduce how important oceans are. B．To discuss why sea animals have yet to be found out. C．To explain that oceans cover a large area of the earth. D．To show that we have only a little understanding of oceans. 2．What caused the change in the exploration of the deep sea? A．High technology. B．Unknown species. C．Pleasant environment. D．Valuable information. 3．What does the underlined word “it” in the fourth paragraph refer to? A．discovering new species B．developing high technology C．exploring the deep sea D．reducing the pressure 4．What is the structure of the passage?

The Shuiwei tour, organized by Handshake 302, a public art organization, was one of a series of tours that will take visitors to a total of seven places of cultural and historical importance in Shenzhen. Take Metro Line 4 or 7, get off at Fumin Station, walk a few steps, and you will get to the heart of Shuiwei. “What’s important is not what did or did not happen, but how the stories we tell become history, and how we use the history to shape our identities,” said O’Donnell. Along the years, people in Shuiwei made a living by fishing and producing sea salt. However, the practical influence of “water” gradually fell off. Around the 1980s, villagers travelled to and from Hong Kong by boat to buy daily necessities or unusual objects and resell them in Shenzhen. Meanwhile, village renovation (革新) and industrialization (工业化) turned Shuiwei into a landlocked region. The village soon changed its livelihood from fishing and agriculture (农业) to manufacturing (制造业) and real estate (房地产业). Hand-shake buildings are everywhere. The rock museum in the village, which exhibits hundreds of valuable rocks collected from all over the world, also shows the transition from “water” to “Iand” in Shuiwei’s cultural geography, according to O’Donnell. 1．How many metro lines which can take visitors to the heart of Shuiwei? A．2. B．3. C．4. D．7. 2．What did the writer mention to show the importance of  “water” in people’s lives in Shuiwei? A．hand-shake buildings. B．the rock museum. C．fishing and producing sea salt. D．manufacturing and real estate. 3．What can we learn from the passage about Mary Ann O’Donnell? A．She came from America and has lived in Shenzhen for 31 years. B．She has organized tours to a total of seven places in Shenzhen. C．She thinks history is closely connected to people’s identities. D．She believes people in Shuiwei lived a much better life in the 1980s. 4．What does the underlined word “transition” in the last paragraph probably mean? A．价值 B．转变 C．渊源 D．典故 5．What would be the best title for the passage? A．Stories—Becoming History B．Tours—Unknown Worth C．Handshake 302—Spreading Culture D．Shuiwei—Water or Land? 【答案】1．A 2．C 3．C 4．B 5．D 【导语】本文主要介绍了深圳水围村的文化导览活动，讲述了水围村从依赖“水”的渔村向“陆地”产业转型的历史变迁，以及相关的文化探索。 1．细节理解题。根据“Take Metro Line 4 or 7, get off at Fumin Station, walk a few steps, and you will get to the heart of Shuiwei.”可知，有4号线和7号线两条地铁线路可以到达水围村中心。故选A。 2．细节理解题。根据“Along the years, people in Shuiwei made a living by fishing and producing sea salt.”可知，作者提到捕鱼和制盐，以此说明“水”在水围村人生活中的重要性。故选C。 3．细节理解题。根据“What’s important is not what did or did not happen, but how the stories we tell become history, and how we use the history to shape our identities.”可知，她认为历史与人们的身份认同紧密相关。故选C。 4．词句猜测题。根据前文“the village soon changed its livelihood from fishing and agriculture to manufacturing and real estate”以及“from ‘water’ to ‘land’ in Shuiwei’s cultural geography”可知，这里指水围村从依赖“水”到依赖“陆地”的“转变”。故选B。 5．最佳标题题。据全文内容，尤其是水围村从 “水” 到 “陆地” 的转型，以及相关的文化探索，标题“Shuiwei—Water or Land?”最能概括文章核心。故选D。 ①When people think of social (群居的) animals, snakes seldom come to mind because people believed that they never stayed in groups. But recent studies by animal experts have changed this view. They found that many types of snakes actually have active, even surprisingly social lives. However, it took years of careful research for scientists to uncover these hidden behaviors. ②Why is studying the social behavior of snakes so challenging? First, snakes are very secretive. They hide in dark holes or thick grass during the day, making them difficult to find in the wild. Besides, snakes use smell to share information. This special way makes it difficult for humans, who depend on sight and hearing, to understand their communication. ③Different research teams are doing careful experiments to study the snakes’ social habits. Noam Miller’s team placed 40 young garter snakes (束带蛇) in an open area, marking each snake to keep records of their movements clearly. They found that the snakes actively chose crowded places and even had “friends” they liked to stay near. ④Meanwhile, another research team led by Emily Taylor found that father rattlesnakes (响尾蛇) care for their newborns, and mother rattlesnakes that are about to give birth stay close to one another for warmth. ⑤Today, thanks to these studies, scientists now recognize that snakes are far more social than people used to think. However, some experts note that snakes might behave differently in labs than they do in the wild. This, therefore, is just the beginning of uncovering all their social secrets. 1．Which of the following is the recent finding about snakes? A．They are social animals. B．They never stay in groups. C．They communicate by hearing. D．They like to hide in dark holes. 2．What does the underlined word “secretive” in paragraph 2 probably mean? A．Easy to hear. B．Cold to touch. C．Hard to notice. D．Dangerous to catch. 3．How did Miller’s team learn about the social habits of garter snakes? A．By comparing their parents’ habits. B．By marking their favourite hiding places. C．By studying their different behaviours in labs. D．By recording their movements in an open area. 4．What’s the structure（结构）of the article?(P=Paragraph) A． B． C． D． 5．Where can we most probably read this passage? A．In a film report. B．In a travel guide. C．In a book review. D．In a science book. 【答案】1．A 2．C 3．D 4．B 5．D 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了关于蛇是群居动物的研究发现。 1．细节理解题。根据原文“But recent studies by animal experts have changed this view. They found that many types of snakes actually have active, even surprisingly social lives.”可知，过去人们认为蛇并不群居，但最新研究表明它们实际上是群居动物。故选A。 2．词句猜测题。根据下文“They hide in dark holes or thick grass during the day, making them difficult to find in the wild.”可知，蛇白天常藏身于隐蔽处，难以被人发现，故“secretive”意为“难以被察觉的”。故选C。 3．细节理解题。根据原文“Noam Miller’s team placed 40 young garter snakes (束带蛇) in an open area, marking each snake to keep records of their movements clearly.”可知，Noam Miller 的团队将蛇放在开阔区域并作标记来追踪其活动轨迹，从而了解它们的社交习惯，故选 D。 4．篇章结构题。通读全文可知，P1引出话题→P2解释研究困难→P3、P4分别举实验例子→P5总结（展望），与选项B给出的纵向结构图相符。故选B。 5．推理判断题。通读全文可知，本文讲述有关蛇的最新科学研究，由此可推断其最可能出现在科普类的科学书籍中。故选D。 Have you ever imagined that an orange or lemon peel (果皮) could become a lamp or a chair? This is exactly what an Italian company called Krill is doing—changing fruit peels into stylish and green furniture. It takes just a few steps to do that. First, Krill sources fruit peels from juice factories, markets, and restaurants. They are then mixed with natural glue, heated and turned into a thin thread (线). Finally, this thread is sent into a special machine which builds the furniture piece by piece. Krill creates different kinds of furniture, such as lamps, bowls, and tables. They win the hearts of many customers because each piece keeps the special color and smell of the fruit. For example, an orange peel lamp might be bright orange and have a pleasant smell, while products made from banana peels are darker, softer and smell sweet. By mixing different peels, Krill can achieve many cool looks and effects. Krill’s furniture is not only beautiful but also good for the planet. While plastic can pollute the soil for centuries, Krill’s products break down naturally. Also, making new plastic produces a lot of harmful gases. By using fruit peels, Krill avoids this pollution and helps keep the air clean. Besides fruit peels, the company is now experimenting with other food waste, such as tomatoes and grape peels. It hopes to find ways to make the production faster, cheaper, and greener. Krill’s work shows us that creativity and science can join hands to protect our planet. So next time you see a fruit peel, imagine what it could be—maybe one day, it will be the lamp on your desk! 1．Where does Krill come from? A．Asia. B．Africa. C．America. D．Europe. 2．What does the underlined word “sources” in Paragraph 2 possibly mean? A．Sell. B．Collect. C．Protect. D．Produce. 3．What makes Krill’s furniture popular? A．Its looks and smell. B．Its price and styles. C．Its shape and service. D．Its design and quality. 4．How does the writer show the advantage of Krill in Paragraph 4? A．By doing an experiment. B．By using a customer’s words. C．By comparing different facts. D．By showing production steps. 5．What is the passage mainly about? A．A green solution to air pollution. B．A new way to turn waste into furniture. C．The bad effects of plastic on the planet. D．The development of an Italian company. 【答案】1．D 2．B 3．A 4．C 5．B 【导语】本文是说明文。主要介绍了意大利公司Krill将水果皮转化为环保家具的创新做法，以及这种做法的优势和意义。 1．细节理解题。根据文章第一段“This is exactly what an Italian company called Krill is doing…”可知，Krill是一家意大利公司，而意大利位于欧洲。故选D。 2．词句猜测题。根据第二段“First, Krill sources fruit peels from juice factories, markets, and restaurants.”的语境，公司是从果汁厂、市场和餐厅获取果皮，所以“sources”在这里的意思是“收集、获取”。故选B。 3．细节理解题。根据第三段“They win the hearts of many customers because each piece keeps the special color and smell of the fruit.”可知，Krill的家具因为保留了水果特有的颜色和气味而受到欢迎。故选A。 4．推理判断题。根据第四段“While plastic can pollute the soil for centuries, Krill's products break down naturally. Also, making new plastic produces a lot of harmful gases. By using fruit peels, Krill avoids this pollution and helps keep the air clean.”可知，作者通过对比塑料和Krill产品的不同影响来展现其优势。 故选C。 5．主旨大意题。文章通篇讲述了Krill公司将水果皮等废弃物转化为家具的创新方式，核心是“变废为宝”的环保做法。 故选B。 Have you ever noticed that some foods can make your body smell different? In fact, what you eat and drink really can affect your body’s smell. Research shows that everyone has a unique body smell, almost like a fingerprint. Where do body smells come from? Well, two areas generate body smell. One is the stomach, which is full of bacteria (细菌). When these bacteria break down food, gases and chemicals are given off through our breath. The second area is the skin. Food can change the smell of bacteria on our skin when we sweat. Several types of food and drink can lead to a strong body smell. Most contain sulphur (硫), which creates a “bad-egg smell”. Vegetables like broccoli and cabbage contain a lot of sulphur. Red meat and alcohol (酒精) can also make you smelly. If you want to smell fresher, here are some clear steps you can take. First, choose your food and drinks wisely. Eat more fresh fruits like oranges and apples, and have some yogurt. Drinking plenty of water and trying green tea are also helpful. Second, keep clean. Take a shower every day using soap, and wash sweaty areas well. It’s also necessary to change your clothes and towels often. Third, wear clothes made of natural materials like cotton, which let your skin breathe. Finally, using deodorant (除臭剂) can help you feel fresh all day. In short, what you eat influences how you smell. By making simple choices in your diet and daily habits, you can help your body stay fresh and pleasant. 1．How does the writer introduce the topic? A．By telling a story. B．By asking a question. C．By explaining a view. D．By making a comparison. 2．What does the underlined word “generate” probably mean? A．Attack. B．Improve. C．Choose. D．Produce. 3．What food may cause a strong body smell according to Paragraph 3? A．Beef. B．Bread. C．Fish. D．Pears. 4．How many suggestions to smell fresh are given in Paragraph 4? A．Two. B．Three. C．Four. D．Five. 5．Where does this text probably come from? A．A cooking book. B．A fashion website. C．A lifestyle magazine. D．A food advertisement. 【答案】1．B 2．D 3．A 4．C 5．C 【导语】本文主要讲述了食物和饮品如何影响体味，并提供了保持体味清新的建议。 1．细节理解题。根据“Have you ever noticed that some foods can make your body smell different? In fact, what you eat and drink really can affect your body smell.”可知，作者通过提问“你是否注意到有些食物会让你的身体散发出不同的气味？”来引入话题。故选B。 2．词句猜测题。根据“Well, two areas generate body smell. One is the stomach...The second area is the skin.”可知，胃和皮肤是产生体味的两个部位，所以“generate”的意思是“产生”。故选D。 3．细节理解题。根据“Several types of food and drink can lead to a strong body smell. Most contain sulphur (硫), which creates a ‘bad-egg smell’. Vegetables like broccoli and cabbage contain a lot of sulphur. Red meat and alcohol (酒精) can also make you smelly.”可知，红肉（如牛肉）和酒精会导致强烈的体味，选项中只有牛肉属于红肉。故选A。 4．细节理解题。根据“First, choose your food and drinks wisely…Second, keep clean…Third, wear clothes made of natural materials like cotton…Finally, using deodorant (除臭剂) can help you feel fresh all day.”可知，第四段给出了四条保持体味清新的建议。故选C。 5．推理判断题。通读全文可知，本文围绕食物和饮品对体味的影响展开，并提供了保持体味清新的建议，最有可能出现在生活方式杂志上。故选C。 Besides the amazing competitions of China’s National Games, two funny mascots (吉祥物), named Xiyangyang and Lerongrong, have captured the nation’s heart. Although people lovingly call them the “greater bay chickens,” their design is actually inspired by the Chinese white dolphin—a valuable animal known as the “panda of the sea”. The mascots’ design is full of meaning. For example, the three-colored water patterns on their heads stand for the official flowers of the host cities: Guangzhou, Hong Kong, and Macao. When we look from the front, the water patterns form a heart, which means everyone is together. What has made the dolphin mascots so popular is not only their cute appearances, but also the humorous and energetic performances at the Games. In fact, their lively character is no accident. The performers inside the mascot suits are teenage students from martial arts schools (武术学校). To bring the mascots to life, they have practised for nearly five months. Their wonderful martial arts skills and cheerful natures have truly won the hearts of the public. This popularity is also serving as a powerful economic (经济的) driver. Over 2,800 official products, like the “greater bay chickens”, have been developed for the Games. They have become especially popular and sold out quickly both online and in stores. The success shows how a strong cultural idea, combined with modern design, can really connect with people today. 1．What animals are the mascots based on? A．Chicks. B．Chinese white dolphins. C．Sheep. D．Giant pandas. 2．Why are the water patterns mentioned in Paragraph 2? A．To praise the three host cities. B．To show people’s love for flowers. C．To describe the cuteness of the mascots. D．To give an example of the meaningful design. 3．What did mascot actors do for the performances? A．They practised in nature. B．They trained for about 5 months. C．They taught martial arts in school. D．They made their own mascot suits. 4．What does the underlined word “They” refer to? A．Mascot actors. B．Stores. C．Official products. D．Games. 5．What is the main idea of the passage? A．The reasons for mascots’ popularity. B．Chinese white dolphins need protection. C．China’s National Games were a big success.

Because of too much fishing, almost 90 percent of the worldwide population of large fish—the ones we usually eat—has disappeared. If we don’t act, these animals will totally disappear. That will influence every animal in the ocean. The demand for fish is growing. Almost a billion people around the world get their protein (蛋白质) mostly from fish. Doctors praise seafood for being low in fat. But what seems like a healthy choice for humans is causing a disaster to our oceans. “People are consuming (消费) too much,” says Lance Morgan, a scientist at the Marine Conservation Biology Institute. A dish of tuna in restaurants costs more than just one animal's life. When fish like tuna disappear from the ecosystem (生态系统), the ocean’s food chain (链) breaks down. Animals such as sharks, which normally eat tuna, may die because they find no food. The news may be scary, but taking action from now on can prevent harm that hasn’t happened yet. World organizations are ordering countries to stop fishing too much. The Monterey Bay Aquarium gives seafood choices to anyone hoping to keep healthy without destroying the environment. “If you care about wildlife, first spend time and think about your own values and beliefs,” says Morgan. “Then decide what you’re going to eat.” 1．How does the writer start the text? A．By giving a fact. B．By asking a question. C．By telling a story. D．By using a saying. 2．What does the underlined word “demand” in Paragraph 2 probably mean? A．Wish. B．Support. C．Need. D．Price. 3．From Paragraph 3, we know that ________. A．if sharks die out, tuna will die out soon B．tuna will be more popular in restaurants C．tuna plays an important role in the ecosystem D．tuna disappeared because they found no food 4．What’s the purpose of the text? A．To tell people to stop polluting our oceans. B．To tell people to protect wildlife in oceans. C．To tell people to avoid eating too much seafood. D．To tell people to live a balanced and healthy life. 5．What does the last paragraph of the article explain ________. A．We need to care about wildlife B．We need to eat wild animals C．We need to reflect on our own values and beliefs D．We don’t want to protect wild animals 中考模拟真题练习 The 2026 CCTV Spring Festival Gala became a big stage for China’s fast‑growing robot industry. Four top technology companies — Unitree, Magic Lab, Galaxy General Robotics and Songyan Power — showed many amazing and modern robots. These smart machines soon became one of the most popular topics of the year. These robots did not just appear anywhere. Instead, they played special and important roles in different shows. In the performance Wu BOT, Unitree robots acted together with young martial artists. They performed perfect stick and nunchaku (双节棍) movements, showing great balance, speed and top‑level control. In the short play Grandma’s Favorite, actress Cai Ming worked with a very human‑like robot from Songyan Power. Their show was warm and funny, and it proved that technology can help people in daily life. At the same time, in the short film with Shen Teng and Ma Li, a robot from Galaxy General Robotics took part in gentle and natural activities, making high‑tech feel close and easy to understand. The influence of the gala went far beyond the stage itself. According to official news reports, online searches and sales orders for robots rose sharply only a few hours after the show. Many types of robots sold out in minutes, because people’s great interest quickly became real market needs. As major media pointed out, this strong interest shows an important change: robots are moving from being just something to watch into something people really need. They are no longer just for fun. They are entering homes, care services and factories, with more and more practical uses. Although some people worry that machines might take the place of human warmth, the gala makes it clear that technology and human feelings can work well together.

There are 706 billion LEGO bricks on the earth. 7 LEGO sets are sold every second, and more than 400 million people have played with LEGO bricks. LEGO has already been a successful company in the world. Actually, there are many ups and downs along with its development. The LEGO company was set up in 1934. The name comes from the Danish “leg godt” , meaning “to play well”. Ole Kirk Kristiansen, the founder of LEGO, was a master carpenter（木匠）, so it’s not surprising that the first LEGO toys were made of wood. They were simple, such as wooden ducks. In 1942, the factory that made wooden LEGO toys was burned to the ground. This made Ole realize the disadvantages of working with wood. Soon Ole found out that plastic is a good material to make toys. LEGO started making self-locking bricks in 1949. But it wasn’t until 1958, when the locking design was much improved, that sales began to rise. Because of its quality and the endless creativity that it lets children have, LEGO achieved huge success. In 2000, children began to spend more time playing video games. By 2003, LEGO’s sales were down by 30%, and LEGO nearly went broke. The turning point appeared in 2004 when LEGO focused again on its bricks. And it also worked with films and television. The Internet was used to build a LEGO group where fans show their love for LEGO collections. In 2015, it again became a name known to the world. 1．How does the writer show the popularity of LEGO in Paragraph 1? A．By telling a story. B．By giving examples. C．By listing numbers. D．By asking questions. 2．What does the underlined word “this” mean in Paragraph 2? A．LEGO toys. B．Wooden ducks. C．The factory. D．The fire. 3．Which of the pictures shows the development of the LEGO company? A． B． C． D． 4．Which of the following words can best describe Ole Kirk Kristiansen? A．Friendly. B．Creative. C．Energetic. D．Humorous. 5．What will the author probably write about LEGO next? A．Sales data. B．New collections. C．Customer review. D．Recent development. As humans explore deep space, the Moon has become a key stepping stone for building bases. To solve the food problem for long-term lunar stays, scientists are exploring plant growth on the Moon. However, lunar soil is very poor—it lacks nutrients like nitrogen (氮)and has phosphorus (磷)that plants can’t easily take in. A new study by Chinese Agricultural University researchers found that Earth soil bacteria could be the solution. They tested five bacteria species on simulated (模拟的)lunar soil. Within 10 to 21 days, three species turned hard-to-absorb phosphorus into a form plants can use, doubling its amount. When they grew tobacco (烟草)plants in this treated soil, the plants had longer roots and stems after 6 days. After 24 days, the plants were heavier with wider leaves, and their chlorophyll (叶绿素)content, which helps plants get energy from light, was over twice as high as those grown without bacteria. This study is great news for future lunar missions. Using lunar soil as growing material with bacteria can save rocket space, as it won’t need to carry full growing systems from Earth. In the future, scientists hope to test real lunar soil and grow main crops like corn and potatoes. 1．What is the purpose of growing plants on the Moon? A．To test if plants can grow on the Moon. B．To solve the food problem for long stays. C．To study bacteria in lunar environment. D．To produce nitrogen and phosphorus. 2．How did the bacteria help plants grow? A．They produced phosphorus directly. B．They doubled the amount of plants. C．They protected plants from bad bacteria. D．They turned phosphorus into a useful form. 3．What happened to tobacco plants in treated soil after 6 days? A．Their roots and stems became longer. B．They had heavier and wider leaves. C．They started to get energy from light. D．They had higher chlorophyll content. 4．What can we learn from Paragraph 3? A．Plants grew better with bacteria in soil. B．Tobacco plants grew roots after 6 days. C．Chlorophyll produced energy for plants. D．Plants couldn’t grow without bacteria. 5．Where is the text most probably from? A．A book review. B．A science fiction. C．A news website. D．A guidebook. A paralyzed (瘫痪的) patient can tell a robot dog to get a package just by thinking. A researcher can fly a drone without using their hands. A gamer can move a virtual character with only their thoughts. These are not scenes from sci-fi movies. They are real uses of brain-computer interface (BCI脑机接口) technology. BCIs are not just a small, special tool for hospitals. They are becoming a powerful tool that changes many fields, such as health care, space travel and entertainment. How Does a BCI Work? At its core, a BCI creates a direct communication link between the brain and an external device. It does not need the body’s usual nerves or muscles. When we think, our brains make very weak electrical signals. A BCI system can catch these signals in two ways: either with small devices put inside the body, or with a wearable EEG cap (脑电图帽). Then, it uses AI programs to turn these signals into commands for a computer or machine. There are two main types of BCIs: Invasive (侵入式) BCIs: They work very well, but they need an operation. They also have some risks, like getting an infection. Non-invasive BCIs: They are safer and easier to use. It is said that about 88% of BCI companies in China focus on this kind. China at the Forefront China’s BCI industry is growing very fast. More than 200 local companies are working on it. In top hospitals, new and important tests are helping paralyzed patients send messages or move a robot arm with their thoughts. BCIs are not only used in medicine. They are also used in planes—to control the plane’s cabin (机舱) without hands—and in smart factories—to help people and robots work together more easily. What’s more, some Chinese provinces now pay for some BCI treatments with basic health insurance. This makes the treatments easier for patients to get. A Thought-Controlled Future The global BCI market will grow a lot in the future. New progress in materials and AI decoding is opening up new possibilities. These include treating sadness, controlling smart homes and even making people’s thinking skills better. Many of these uses are already being tested. Of course, there are still some problems to solve. For example, we need to make BCI tools smaller, make sure they are safe for long-term use, and make good rules for their use. Even so, BCIs are ready to change how we live and interact with the world—one thought at a time. 1．What can we know about BCI technology from the first paragraph? A．It is only used in sci-fi movies. B．It is only a special tool for hospitals. C．It cannot be used in entertainment.

When they post photos of home-cooked food or morning coffee with these words, they turn small daily things into a shared way of being kind to themselves. People say it is one of the kindest trends, and it touches many people deeply. It is more than just a saying. It makes the unclear idea of taking care of oneself become real. It gives comfort when people feel stressed and celebrates small happy moments. The key is to call oneself “Old Self”—a friendly name that lets people step back and talk to themselves kindly, just as they would to a close friend. This trend is popular for a reason. Today’s young people face a lot of pressure, such as non-stop exams and strong competition for university places and jobs. For example, a high school student in Beijing writes “Love You, Old Self” in her notebook to calm down after a hard exam. In such situations, being gently kind to oneself has become an important way to deal with pressure. Importantly, this is not an excuse to avoid difficulties. Instead, it helps people build more courage to get through hard times. To say “Love You, Old Self” means to recognize one’s own efforts, to allow oneself to rest when needed, and thus find a healthy balance. It is a cheap but useful way to keep emotions stable. It also changes where strength comes from—from others’ praise to believing in oneself. In the end, by being kind to themselves, young people are better able to deal with outside pressure. This gentle and steady power helps them find inner peace and shows a true fact: to really care for others, you must first be kind to yourself. 1．According to the passage, how does “Love You, Old Self” help young people? A．It helps them win more competitions. B．It helps them make good friends. C．It helps them deal with pressure and find balance. D．It helps them get into a good university. 2．What can we know about self-care from the passage? A．Self-care is an expensive way to relax and reduce stress. B．Self-care means avoiding all the difficulties in daily life. C．Self-care helps young people find inner peace and face pressure better. D．Self-care only needs to be done when people get good exam results. 3．Which of the following is NOT a reason why the trend is popular? A．Young people face a lot of pressure. B．It is a way to avoid difficulties. C．It helps young people find inner peace. D．It gives young people a way to care for themselves. 4．Which of the following sentences is right? A．The phrase “Love You, Old Self” can help them make more new friends. B．The phrase shows they are old enough to take care of themselves. C．The trend of “Love You, Old Self” makes the idea of self-care become real. D．The phrase makes young people become lazy and not want to face hard times. 5．What is the main idea of the passage? A．How to take good care of oneself. B．The importance of being kind to oneself. C．The pressure that Chinese young people face. D．The popularity and benefits of the phrase “Love You, Old Self”. Have you ever imagined a robot washing your hair for you? This is not a science fiction anymore thanks to the invention of AI hair washing machines. Many AI hair washing stores have been opened in several areas in Shenzhen, such as Nanshan, Futian and Longhua. It has become a hot topic on the Internet and more such stores are on the way. AI hair washing is popular in Shenzhen, but it is not very expensive. With just 9.9 yuan, you can experience it. After a scalp (头皮) check, all you need to do is to lie down on a bed and put your head into the machine. Then, a worker will decide on the setting according to (根据) your hair length and your scalp type. After that, press the start key and the machine will operate, using infrared technology (红外技术) to send water to the exact right places. It can even change water temperature by itself. However, it doesn’t mean that no human workers are required. Workers still need to help with things like preparing the towels and drying the hair. Curious (好奇的) about the new technology, many people have tried this new way of hair washing. However, people have made different comments about this. Some say, “It works better than I thought and my hair is cleaner than I expected.” However, others comment, “The machine is not good enough, because it can’t get to my itchy (发痒的) spots correctly.” New things need time. I believe that the new machine will become better and make our lives more convenient in the future. 1．How did the writer introduce the topic in Paragraph 1? A．By raising a question. B．By telling his stories. C．By describing a scene. D．By giving an example. 2．What does the underlined part “are on the way” probably mean? A．Stay unknown. B．Keep appearing. C．Become outdated.

D．It has the same setting for everyone. 4．Why do many people try the AI hair washing service? A．Because it can dry their hair by itself. B．Because it’s better than the traditional way. C．Because there are no other hair washing stores. D．Because they have an interest in the new technology. 5．What is the best title for the text? A．The development of AI hair washing technology B．Workers’ important role in AI hair washing stores C．AI hair washing: new service popular in Shenzhen D．Infrared technology: the secret of AI hair washing English lessons at a Shanghai middle school have transformed into learning adventures. Instead of traditional textbooks and blackboards, students use virtual (虚拟的) reality (VR) technology and have interactive conversations with an AI character to explore language and culture. In one lesson, learners meet “Hannah”, a virtual French teenager worried about a New Year’s Eve dinner in China—she doesn’t know local traditions or basic rules. Their main task is to talk to her in English: offer useful advice, share cultural tips, and help her deal with “culture shock”. As they interact, students naturally practice conversational sentences while learning about Chinese customs. The high-tech experience doesn’t stop here. The classroom has VR headsets that take students to vivid, simulated (仿真的) environments. When they put on the devices, they feel like stepping into a busy international food festival, surrounded by food stalls. They can observe foods closely, listen to native speakers’ introductions, and “interact” with virtual sellers which makes vocabulary memorization far easier than repetition. “This isn’t just about memorizing textbook words,” said an English teacher. “It’s about using language in real-life situations. Students are more interested because they’re truly helping someone and exploring the world firsthand, not just taking in information inactively.” This creative use of technology shows how AI and VR can create powerful and fun learning experiences. It helps students practice English conversation naturally, build cultural understanding, and makes the classroom a gateway to the wider world. 1．What is the main task of students in the English lesson with “Hannah”? A．To help Hannah by talking in English. B．To teach Hannah to make French food. C．To tell Hannah about Chinese New Year. D．To talk to Hannah in French and give her advice. 2．What CAN’T students do when they put on the VR devices in the English lesson? A．Take a close look at foods. B．Have talks with a real French girl.

C．Without doing much by themselves. D．Without doing things very carefully. 4．Which of the following statements is TRUE? A．These English lessons are just the same as traditional ones. B．Students in these English lessons only quietly receive information. C．The use of AI and VR makes English learning more powerful and enjoyable. D．The creative use of technology can’t help students build cultural understanding. 5．What is the main purpose of this article? A．To explain French dinner customs. B．To show how technology helps learning. C．To teach students new English words. D．To ask schools to buy VR headsets for their students. For seventy years, David Attenborough has travelled around the world to record the Earth’s natural environment. He’s narrated (解说) for so many television programs that his voice has been connected to the wonder of the natural world. But in his long career full of wild experiences, one memory still stands out. In 1957, when Attenborough was in his 30s, he traveled to Australia, where, for the first time in his life, he saw countless tiny fish swimming in the warm water. However, today that same view is likely to look worse as a result of human-caused ocean warming. In the new film Ocean with David Attenborough, the pioneering filmmaker talks about the great loss seen in his lifetime. Sure, there are still many images of the beautiful ocean life in the film, but they are met together with terrible death—seagrass is being completely destroyed by modern fishing ships, and a great number of fish are pulled onto ships. Attenborough says directly, “Ships from wealthy nations are making coastal communities short of the food they have depended on for many years.” The film’s final message, however, is quite positive. Attenborough believes in the ocean’s power to recover when the right environmental protections are set in place. He holds hope for the beautiful warm water in Australia. “I’d like to think that the area I first dived in is one of the lucky ones.” 1．What can be inferred about David Attenborough in paragraph 1? A．His voice is famous. B．His memory is good. C．He is quite young. D．He is tired of nature. 2．Who is making coastal communities short of food in paragraph 3? A．Warm water. B．Local fishermen. C．Rich countries’ ships. D．Pioneering filmmakers. 3．What does Attenborough believe in? A．He needs to dive in warm water again. B．He needs to make another positive film. C．The ocean will die from people’s activities. D．The ocean will recover with people’s protection. 4．What is the main idea of the passage? A．The ocean’s beauty and death. B．Attenborough’s career and hope. C．The problem of modern fishing ships. D．The ways of environmental protection. 5．In which part of a newspaper can we probably find the passage? A．Travel. B．Sport. C．Technology. D．Environment. Though oceans cover about 71 percent of the earth’s surface, there’s still a lot we don’t know about them. Only about 20 percent of the seafloor has been mapped, and the remaining 80 percent is still a secret to us. Some scientists even think that 91 percent of sea animals have yet to be discovered. So why do we know so little about the deep sea? Well, getting to those depths is very difficult and requires high technology. The first navigable submarine (可驾驶的潜水艇), for example, was built in 1620, and it couldn’t go more than five meters below the surface. For a long time, many scientists didn’t even think that there could be any life at depths greater than 550 meters and didn’t see much need to explore the deep sea. However, this changed in 1862 when life was discovered as far down as 945 meters below sea level with the help of a digging machine. Ten years later, around 4,700 species unknown before were discovered. The discovery of new species has brought great hope to scientists in exploring the deep sea. Since then, high technology has been developed to help explore the deep sea, including satellites. But why is it so difficult? Well, at greater depths, it is freezing, everything is completely dark, and the pressure is greater than that on the surface. Though we have the difficulties, it’s important that we understand the seas. They help control the earth’s temperature, produce half of the oxygen in the air and provide us with information about climate change. Our future depends on learning more about our oceans, and it is possible for us to really understand what is ongoing below the surface. 1．Why are some numbers listed in Paragraph 1?

A．Hidden Treasures in Deep Sea B．Unlocked Secrets of Deep Sea C．Deep-Sea Exploration: Into the Freezing Depths D．Deep-Sea Exploration: The Past and the Future “As a new Shenzhener, being led to check out the history of my city is really a wonderful experience,” said a participant in her online blog, after she took part in a cultural tour led by Mary Ann O’Donnell, an American anthropologist (人类学家) who has been based in Shenzhen since the 1990s. The Shuiwei tour, organized by Handshake 302, a public art organization, was one of a series of tours that will take visitors to a total of seven places of cultural and historical importance in Shenzhen. Take Metro Line 4 or 7, get off at Fumin Station, walk a few steps, and you will get to the heart of Shuiwei. “What’s important is not what did or did not happen, but how the stories we tell become history, and how we use the history to shape our identities,” said O’Donnell. Along the years, people in Shuiwei made a living by fishing and producing sea salt. However, the practical influence of “water” gradually fell off. Around the 1980s, villagers travelled to and from Hong Kong by boat to buy daily necessities or unusual objects and resell them in Shenzhen. Meanwhile, village renovation (革新) and industrialization (工业化) turned Shuiwei into a landlocked region. The village soon changed its livelihood from fishing and agriculture (农业) to manufacturing (制造业) and real estate (房地产业). Hand-shake buildings are everywhere. The rock museum in the village, which exhibits hundreds of valuable rocks collected from all over the world, also shows the transition from “water” to “Iand” in Shuiwei’s cultural geography, according to O’Donnell. 1．How many metro lines which can take visitors to the heart of Shuiwei? A．2. B．3. C．4. D．7. 2．What did the writer mention to show the importance of  “water” in people’s lives in Shuiwei? A．hand-shake buildings. B．the rock museum. C．fishing and producing sea salt. D．manufacturing and real estate. 3．What can we learn from the passage about Mary Ann O’Donnell? A．She came from America and has lived in Shenzhen for 31 years. B．She has organized tours to a total of seven places in Shenzhen. C．She thinks history is closely connected to people’s identities. D．She believes people in Shuiwei lived a much better life in the 1980s. 4．What does the underlined word “transition” in the last paragraph probably mean? A．价值 B．转变 C．渊源 D．典故 5．What would be the best title for the passage? A．Stories—Becoming History B．Tours—Unknown Worth C．Handshake 302—Spreading Culture D．Shuiwei—Water or Land? ①When people think of social (群居的) animals, snakes seldom come to mind because people believed that they never stayed in groups. But recent studies by animal experts have changed this view. They found that many types of snakes actually have active, even surprisingly social lives. However, it took years of careful research for scientists to uncover these hidden behaviors. ②Why is studying the social behavior of snakes so challenging? First, snakes are very secretive. They hide in dark holes or thick grass during the day, making them difficult to find in the wild. Besides, snakes use smell to share information. This special way makes it difficult for humans, who depend on sight and hearing, to understand their communication. ③Different research teams are doing careful experiments to study the snakes’ social habits. Noam Miller’s team placed 40 young garter snakes (束带蛇) in an open area, marking each snake to keep records of their movements clearly. They found that the snakes actively chose crowded places and even had “friends” they liked to stay near. ④Meanwhile, another research team led by Emily Taylor found that father rattlesnakes (响尾蛇) care for their newborns, and mother rattlesnakes that are about to give birth stay close to one another for warmth. ⑤Today, thanks to these studies, scientists now recognize that snakes are far more social than people used to think. However, some experts note that snakes might behave differently in labs than they do in the wild. This, therefore, is just the beginning of uncovering all their social secrets. 1．Which of the following is the recent finding about snakes? A．They are social animals. B．They never stay in groups. C．They communicate by hearing. D．They like to hide in dark holes. 2．What does the underlined word “secretive” in paragraph 2 probably mean? A．Easy to hear. B．Cold to touch. C．Hard to notice. D．Dangerous to catch. 3．How did Miller’s team learn about the social habits of garter snakes? A．By comparing their parents’ habits. B．By marking their favourite hiding places. C．By studying their different behaviours in labs. D．By recording their movements in an open area. 4．What’s the structure（结构）of the article?(P=Paragraph) A． B． C． D． 5．Where can we most probably read this passage? A．In a film report. B．In a travel guide. C．In a book review. D．In a science book. Have you ever imagined that an orange or lemon peel (果皮) could become a lamp or a chair? This is exactly what an Italian company called Krill is doing—changing fruit peels into stylish and green furniture. It takes just a few steps to do that. First, Krill sources fruit peels from juice factories, markets, and restaurants. They are then mixed with natural glue, heated and turned into a thin thread (线). Finally, this thread is sent into a special machine which builds the furniture piece by piece. Krill creates different kinds of furniture, such as lamps, bowls, and tables. They win the hearts of many customers because each piece keeps the special color and smell of the fruit. For example, an orange peel lamp might be bright orange and have a pleasant smell, while products made from banana peels are darker, softer and smell sweet. By mixing different peels, Krill can achieve many cool looks and effects. Krill’s furniture is not only beautiful but also good for the planet. While plastic can pollute the soil for centuries, Krill’s products break down naturally. Also, making new plastic produces a lot of harmful gases. By using fruit peels, Krill avoids this pollution and helps keep the air clean. Besides fruit peels, the company is now experimenting with other food waste, such as tomatoes and grape peels. It hopes to find ways to make the production faster, cheaper, and greener. Krill’s work shows us that creativity and science can join hands to protect our planet. So next time you see a fruit peel, imagine what it could be—maybe one day, it will be the lamp on your desk! 1．Where does Krill come from? A．Asia. B．Africa. C．America. D．Europe. 2．What does the underlined word “sources” in Paragraph 2 possibly mean? A．Sell. B．Collect. C．Protect. D．Produce. 3．What makes Krill’s furniture popular? A．Its looks and smell. B．Its price and styles. C．Its shape and service. D．Its design and quality. 4．How does the writer show the advantage of Krill in Paragraph 4? A．By doing an experiment. B．By using a customer’s words. C．By comparing different facts. D．By showing production steps. 5．What is the passage mainly about? A．A green solution to air pollution. B．A new way to turn waste into furniture. C．The bad effects of plastic on the planet. D．The development of an Italian company. Have you ever noticed that some foods can make your body smell different? In fact, what you eat and drink really can affect your body’s smell. Research shows that everyone has a unique body smell, almost like a fingerprint. Where do body smells come from? Well, two areas generate body smell. One is the stomach, which is full of bacteria (细菌). When these bacteria break down food, gases and chemicals are given off through our breath. The second area is the skin. Food can change the smell of bacteria on our skin when we sweat. Several types of food and drink can lead to a strong body smell. Most contain sulphur (硫), which creates a “bad-egg smell”. Vegetables like broccoli and cabbage contain a lot of sulphur. Red meat and alcohol (酒精) can also make you smelly. If you want to smell fresher, here are some clear steps you can take. First, choose your food and drinks wisely. Eat more fresh fruits like oranges and apples, and have some yogurt. Drinking plenty of water and trying green tea are also helpful. Second, keep clean. Take a shower every day using soap, and wash sweaty areas well. It’s also necessary to change your clothes and towels often. Third, wear clothes made of natural materials like cotton, which let your skin breathe. Finally, using deodorant (除臭剂) can help you feel fresh all day. In short, what you eat influences how you smell. By making simple choices in your diet and daily habits, you can help your body stay fresh and pleasant. 1．How does the writer introduce the topic? A．By telling a story. B．By asking a question.

Besides the amazing competitions of China’s National Games, two funny mascots (吉祥物), named Xiyangyang and Lerongrong, have captured the nation’s heart. Although people lovingly call them the “greater bay chickens,” their design is actually inspired by the Chinese white dolphin—a valuable animal known as the “panda of the sea”. The mascots’ design is full of meaning. For example, the three-colored water patterns on their heads stand for the official flowers of the host cities: Guangzhou, Hong Kong, and Macao. When we look from the front, the water patterns form a heart, which means everyone is together. What has made the dolphin mascots so popular is not only their cute appearances, but also the humorous and energetic performances at the Games. In fact, their lively character is no accident. The performers inside the mascot suits are teenage students from martial arts schools (武术学校). To bring the mascots to life, they have practised for nearly five months. Their wonderful martial arts skills and cheerful natures have truly won the hearts of the public. This popularity is also serving as a powerful economic (经济的) driver.
