Dolphins are mammals (哺乳动物), not fish. The most famous type is the Bottlenose Dolphin. Bottlenose Dolphins are the stars of many shows. Their mouths look like friendly smiles and they can be trained to play tricks by their trainers. Like other dolphins, they breathe air through the blowholes on top of their heads from the water surface. They also give birth to babies and feed their babies milk. Dolphins can communicate through whistles (哨音) and even call each other, using special names formed by different series of whistles. Noises also help them find food. Dolphins make up to 1,000 clicking noises per second. These clicks travel underwater until they hit an object and return to the dolphin, showing the object’s size, shape and location. Humans have studied dolphins for years to learn how their brains work. A lot of research has been made to study dolphins in the wild. For example, people have seen dolphins off Australia’s coast use shells to catch fish. It shows that dolphins are good at using tools. It is said that smart animals like to play. If so, dolphins win the gold medal for their playfulness. They can jump out of the water up to 16 feet, play amazing tricks and ride the waves. Scientists give different reasons for play. They find that play helps animals grow mentally and physically. The animals learn their own limits and abilities, practice skills and gain confidence. So, when you see dolphins playing in the wild, you’ll know that they are not just playing for fun, but also to practice their skills and stay healthy. 1．What is Paragraph 2 mainly about? A．An introduction to a kind of dolphin. B．Reasons why dolphins play in the wild. C．Differences between mammals and fish. D．The way dolphins communicate with each other. 2．What ability of dolphins does the underlined word “It” in Paragraph 3 refer to (指代)? A．Calling each other. B．Using shells to catch fish. C．Jumping out of the water. D．Playing amazing tricks. 3．How does the writer prove that dolphins are among the smartest animals? A．By presenting facts. B．By carrying out a survey. C．By comparing numbers. D．By interviewing trainers. Many years ago, flying to another place sounded impossible. In fact, science has made it real. Could fantasy stories become true with the help of science? Sleeping Beauty Could anyone sleep for 100 years? Of course not. But some animals and plants sleep long. Bears and snakes sleep for months through the winter. They slow down their breath, lower body temperatures and don’t eat or drink. Some seeds can dry themselves out and hide in the dark for years. If scientists can move these characteristics to humans, Sleeping Beauty might be born. Talking to animals In the real world, talking to animals isn’t easy, but scientists are working towards it. Tiny cameras have collected thousands of hours’ animal conversations. Then, special programs connect the sounds to possible meanings. These programs may let us talk back to animals in the future. Super strength In fairy stories, the lucky ones found magic food to get power. But it’s a pity that scientists haven’t invented any magic food that can make us strong in a second. In fact, we can get super strength with the help of smart machines. Mechanical exoskeletons (机械的外骨骼) are like wearing a robot. They can be used to help people with disabilities walk easily. That’s pretty super. Invisible coat (隐形衣) Some animals are quite good at changing colours to hide themselves. If you want to have an invisible coat, here is good news for you! Scientists have invented new materials that can change the directions of light around objects. So far, they have managed to hide tiny objects. Hiding larger objects, such as humans, is even harder, but the new materials could cover our coat and make us at least harder to be seen. 1．What do bears and snakes probably do while sleeping through the winter? ①stop eating and drinking            ②slow down their breath ③hide in the dark                   ④dry themselves out ⑤lower body temperatures A．①②④ B．①②⑤ C．②④⑤ D．③④⑤ 2．According to the passage, what progress have scientists made? A．Helping people change skin colours. B．Talking to animals through programs. C．Getting super strength through machines. D．Making people sleep for months in winter. 3．Which part of a magazine is the passage most probably taken from? A．Sports. B．Travel. C．History. D．Science. A bird’s feather coat is made up of many different kinds of feathers. Each has a different function (功能). ●Head Feathers Head feathers come in all sizes. Tiny ones grow in overlapping (交叠的) rows to make a silky covering for a bird’s head. ●Primary Flight Feathers The outer wing feathers are long and strong. They are usually wider on one side. Their job is to push air as birds fly. ●Secondary Flight Feathers A row of smaller feathers grows on the bottom of the wing closer to the body. These also push air, so birds can fly. ●Tail Feathers Tail feathers help birds fly forward and stop during their flight. ●Down Feathers Down feathers grow under the other feathers. They are light and soft. Their job is to keep birds warm. ◆Flight Feathers push down on the air, so birds can fly. Feathers can move, so birds can change the shape of their wings. And feathers are light, so they don’t add too much weight. ◆Social Media Birds’ feathers tell the world who they are. Eye-catching feathers are good for attracting mates. ◆Protection Feathers of different colours and shapes act like camouflage (保护色), hiding birds from enemies. And often when an enemy tries to catch a bird, all it gets is a mouthful of tail feathers. ◆Keeping warm and cool Down feathers stop heat from getting in or out. This helps the bird stay just the right temperature. Feathers are so good at catching heat that penguins can stay warm even when standing on the ice sheet at 40 below zero. 1．Which part of a bird is introduced in the passage? A． B． C． D． 2．Which of the following feathers do birds mainly depend on to fly? ①Head Feathers    ②Primary Flight Feathers    ③Secondary Flight Feathers    ④Tail Feathers    ⑤Down Feathers A．②③④ B．①②④ C．③④⑤ D．①④⑤ 3．What can feathers help birds do according to the passage? A．Birds can change the shape of wings because feathers come in all sizes. B．Some feathers can help birds hide themselves because they are very light. C．Birds like penguins can keep warm because down feathers are quite silky. D．Some feathers can be birds’ social media because they can help attract mates. Do you enjoy playing video games?

Yet, some parents strongly oppose part-time jobs during school terms, fearing that work will take time away from homework and rest. While this concern is understandable, growing evidence suggests that moderate work experience can actually benefit teens in ways classrooms cannot.     Research from the National Youth Development Center shows that students who work 5–10 hours per week are more likely to develop a strong sense of responsibility. They learn to manage their time wisely, meet deadlines, and handle real-life challenges—skills that are crucial for future success.     Take Emma, a 15-year-old student in Suzhou. Every Saturday morning, she works at a local bookstore, arranging shelves and helping customers. “Before I got this job, I didn’t think much about how hard it is to earn money,” she admits. “Now, I save up for things like concert tickets or new books instead of asking my parents for everything.” Surprisingly, her teachers say she’s become more focused in class. “She plans her study schedule better now,” says her math teacher.     Of course, balance is essential. Experts warn that working over 15 hours a week may lead to stress or lower academic performance. Therefore, they recommend limiting work to weekends or holidays, and choosing safe, age-appropriate roles—such as tutoring primary students, assisting in family-run shops, or volunteering at community centers. Dangerous or late-night jobs should be avoided.     More importantly, part-time work teaches independence. When teens solve problems on their own—whether it’s dealing with a difficult customer or managing their first paycheck—they gain confidence. As one education expert puts it: “School prepares you for tests; real life prepares you for life.”     So, should teens work? Not recklessly—but thoughtfully. With proper limits and parental guidance, a part-time job can be a valuable step toward adulthood. 1．What is the author’s main purpose in writing this passage? A．To prove that school is less important than work. B．To argue that all teens must get jobs immediately. C．To explain how moderate work can help teen development. D．To criticize parents who don’t let their children work. 2．The word “moderate” in Paragraph 1 most probably means ______. A．not too much B．extremely difficult C．very high D．completely free 3．According to the passage, which of the following is TRUE? A．Emma’s grades dropped after she started working. B．Working more than 15 hours a week is encouraged. C．All part-time jobs are dangerous for teenagers. D．Tutoring younger kids is considered a suitable job. 4．What can we infer from Emma’s story? A．She no longer talks to her parents about money. B．Her job has helped her become more self-disciplined. C．She plans to quit school to work full-time. D．Bookstores are the best places for teen jobs. A spoonful of pickles (泡菜) can sometimes make a meal taste better. Recently, a new type of pickle is being discussed: “digital pickles”. It means the videos people watch while eating. Many people think that the videos can make their food more appetizing (引起食欲的). The topic received more than 16 million clicks on a website and about 100,000 people took part in the discussion. Many young people in China are kept company by TV shows or short videos. Many believe that their food is more delicious with the “digital pickles”. Can this habit influence your diet? According to a research paper published (发表) in 2019, you may eat more without realization. The international research team asked 62 volunteers to follow different eating patterns for four days. The patterns included eating while looking at the mobile phone and eating without distraction (干扰). The team discovered that eating with distraction increased calorie ingestion (热量摄入) by about 15%. To explore the reason, the team also invited two groups of people: one group ate while listening to an audio clip (音乐片段) about another person eating; the other listened to a clip that helped them imagine themselves eating. At last, the second group ate less because they focused on their food more. This result works not only for eating meals but also for other tasks which need a lot of patience and skills as well. A research team invited 120 volunteers to do different tasks while providing them with drinks and snacks. When they focused on their tasks and their attention was distracted, they were less likely to tell how full they felt and ate more than they expected. 1．Why do people eat more with “digital pickles”? A．Because they are more focused on their meals. B．Because they are distracted by “digital pickles”. C．Because the food tastes better with “digital pickles”. D．Because the “digital pickles” make them feel hungrier. 2．What’s the purpose of the last paragraph? A．To explain how to tell you are full. B．To present how to avoid being distracted. C．To give another case that causes overeating. D．To describe the advantages of “digital pickles”. 3．What would be the best title for the passage? A．Eating While Talking B．Focusing on Our Food C．Enjoying Dinner with a Show D．Having Food with Other People 4．What is the best structure of the passage? A．B． C． D． Do you wonder why cicadas (蝉) keep singing in the trees on hot summer days? Where do they live and how long can they live? In fact, different kinds of cicadas have different life cycles. Cicadas only spend a small part of their lives in the trees. Most cicadas live under the ground. Some are annual cicadas which appear above the ground every year, others are periodical (周期的) cicadas which appear only once every few years. The 17-year cicadas are one of the periodical cicadas and appear every 17years. Female cicadas lay their eggs in the trees. In the summer of next year, baby cicadas come out of the eggs, fall to the ground and dig deep holes. They are nymphs (若虫). They don’t spend their years sleeping in these holes. Instead, they are active in digging tunnels. Some scientists think that periodical cicadas have special clocks inside their bodies that note the passing of years through environmental signs. They give cicadas the final sign: it’s time to get out of the holes. However, it’s also said that when the nymphs come out from their underground homes depends on __________. The nymphs wait for the perfect one before making the journey to the surface. Once that temperature is reached, all the nymphs in the area will feel it. After the nymphs come up to the top of the ground, they climb onto a nearby plant, becoming adult cicadas. They have big bodies and four clear wings. They live about four to six more weeks. Male cicadas make loud calls in order to attract female cicadas. After baby cicadas are born, both male and female cicadas will die quickly. Then the cycle starts all over again. No one is sure why some cicadas have such a long life cycle, but cicadas are truly a wonder of nature. 1．Why does the writer ask questions at the very beginning of the passage? A．To show how much the writer likes cicadas. B．To prove the writer knows little about cicadas. C．To draw the readers’ attention to the topic. D．To get the right answers from the readers. 2．Which is the most suitable for the blank in Paragraph 2? A．soil B．age C．temperature D．environment 3．What can you learn from the passage? A．Most cicadas spend all their lives in the trees. B．Female cicadas lay their eggs under the ground. C．Male cicadas make loud calls to wake up baby cicadas. D．The 17-year cicadas live under the ground for about 17 years. Life is always changing. The only thing that never changes is change itself. There can be lots of new things that happen in your life. Sometimes that’s great but at other times it can make you feel unsure and worried. The changes which make you happy are positive changes. You make them happen by yourself and they bring you happy feelings, like making a new friend. However, some changes you face could make you feel worried or uncertain. They can be big things like moving schools, a friend going away or family life changing. They can be smaller ones like a new teacher taking over your class. All of these things can bring up some pretty big feelings. Change can be difficult to deal with because it often brings feelings of uncertainty. Scientists explain that our brains love things take place in a usual way. They make us feel safe. When something changes, like starting a new school or moving to a new home, it can feel like stepping into an unknown world. It’s like going on a surprise journey without a map. This can make us feel nervous or worried because we don’t know what to expect. Of course, life would be boring if everything stayed the same all the time. Trying new things and making changes help you discover what you like—and don’t like. For example, if you didn’t try new ice cream, how would you have known you love it? It also helps you to grow and learn new skills. There are simple things you can do to make it easier to deal with life changes. Firstly, share your thoughts and feelings with someone you trust. It helps to put your worries into words. Then, think of change as an experience. Ask questions and learn as much as you can about what’s new. Finally, look for things that stay the same—maybe you still have your favourite game or book with you. This helps create a sense of comfort. 1．How does the writer organize his ideas in this passage? A．Time order. B．Space order. C．From general to specific. D．From specific to general. 2．Which of the following is a positive change according to the passage? A．Nancy received a nice hair clip at her birthday party. B．Daniel joined the basketball team because he loved sports. C．Simon were asked to give a speech on how to make friends. D．Millie failed the final exam though she always worked hard. 3．What’s the writer’s opinion towards life changes? A．Big or small changes can influence you much. B．Making changes depends on your likes and dislikes. C．Our brains like changes because they make us feel safe. D．Looking for changes helps create a comfortable feeling. The development of Virtual Reality (VR) technology has changed our lives as it is commonly used in entertainment such as video games while the same time creating digital spaces for people. However, VR technology has its downsides. Without the supervision (管理), the world of virtual reality can prove to be dangerous space that can bring harmful danger to teenagers. Firstly, VR games and experiences require users to wear VR headsets most of the time, giving rise to health risks. VR headsets blind the users from the world around them, as a result, they could easily get hurt. Toby Robiecelli, a teenager, lost his balance and hurt his knees seriously while playing a shooter game called Superhot VR. Another teenager, Landon Woodward, hurt his right hand while playing the VR game named Gorilla Tag, with one of his fingernails falling off. The VR world sometimes causes teenagers to forget about their physical conditions. Secondly, the world of VR may also create a sense of detachment (冷漠) in teenagers. The VR world is often more exciting than the real world and it can easily satisfy the social and entertainment needs of teenagers. That’s a welcome change from their stressful school life. However, teenagers may lose their connection with real life — their school life, family or friends. Lastly, it is harder for parents to check the content in the VR world. Teenagers can easily get in touch with strangers and put themselves in the dangerous situation. In conclusion, although VR has opened up a new world to children, it has also increased the risks. Before trying new areas of VR apps, we’d better take a step back and consider the possible result of this technology. 1．Why does the writer mention Toby Robiecelli and Landon Woodward? A．To prove that VR games are very exciting. B．To show the health risks of using VR headsets. C．To prove that VR headsets are of poor quality. D．To show that teenagers are good at playing VR games. 2．Why can the VR world easily satisfy the social and entertainment needs of teenagers? A．By providing more care for physical conditions. B．By making teenagers wear comfortable headsets. C．By offering experiences different from their school life. D．By attracting teenagers to communicate with other strangers. 3．What is the writer’s main purpose of writing this passage? A．To ask people to stop using VR technology. B．To recommend a new kind of popular VR game. C．To provide a detailed guide on how to use VR headsets. D．To introduce the possible danger caused by VR technology. Movies begin with an idea in a moviemaker’s head. That person could be a screenwriter, a director, a producer or someone else. But it is the screenwriter who takes that idea and writes the story. How to be a screenwriter and make a movie? We asked some successful ones and their answers may help you. How to organize your story?As in any story, you have to decide the characters. Don’t use too many. What about a main character, his or her friend, and a bad guy? That’s a good start. In any good story, the main character needs to face a problem, then solve it or not. The story is about the main character’s efforts, whether successful or not. How to write your screenplay?The written version (版本) of your story is called a screenplay. Screenplays are written in a special way. They include settings, actions or things about the film. When your screenplay is done, have a “reading”. Have friends play the part and read the script aloud. You might even want to read it in front of more people. Who knows? One day your screenplay might become a film! How long?In a typed screenplay, like mine, one page means about one minute of movie time. Screenplays for most Hollywood feature films run 90 to 120 pages. Don’t worry, though. Your first movie might be just a few minutes long. What matters is that you have a good story and you tell it well. 1．What can we infer (推断) about the screenwriter from Paragraph 1? A．Screenwriters provide all the important movie ideas. B．Screenwriters are the only ones who can make a movie. C．Screenwriters play a key role in turning ideas into stories. D．Screenwriters have no relationship with other moviemakers. 2．What does the underlined sentence in the first answer mean? A．The bad guy is a must in the movie. B．Characters’ relationships don’t matter. C．A story usually includes three characters. D．It’s better to start with a small number of characters. 3．According to the passage, what is the key point for a successful movie? A．Having a long screenplay. B．Having some famous actors. C．Having a lot of funny characters. D．Having a good story and telling it well. Have you ever entered a room and suddenly forgotten why you went there? It is because the brain often considers going through a door as entering a new place. This causes you to lose your memory for a while and forget why you went there. This is just one example about how our memory works in our brain. Forgetting really makes people unhappy, but our brain can only work in this way—by staying in a balance of forgetting something easily and remembering something clearly. Our memory shapes who we are and allows us to form relationships. It is also a tool for keeping us alive. By learning what’s dangerous and remembering simple information like where to live comfortably or where to find food, humans make better choices about what will be good for us and what to avoid. When learning new information, whether it’s a challenging skill or a name of an object, the brain forms new connections between neurons (神经元). The busier the neural map is, the smarter you will become. But just as a smart phone slows down when it stores too much information, your brain also slows down when it has too much to deal with. It will actively forget some unused information or unimportant feelings by making neurons less connected. This helps prevent too much information and control terrible memories to keep people calm for daily life. Forgetting also builds creativity. Long-term memories (长期记忆) may make our thoughts and actions too rigid (僵化的) and prevent the brain forming new ideas. When you repeat doing things in the same way, your brain will get used to rigid habits and thoughts. Forgetting is sometimes considered a weakness, but it actually plays an important role. By clearing out unnecessary information, the brain can better take notice of the important information in order to help shape us and keep our mind healthy. 1．How does the writer start the article? A．By giving an example. B．By comparing numbers. C．By offering suggestions. D．By using famous sayings. 2．What does “It” in Paragraph 3 refer to? A．A smart phone. B．The memory. C．The brain. D．The neuron. 3．According to Paragraph 4, forgetting can _________. A．keep people calm for daily life B．encourage the growth of creating C．clean up unnecessary information D．help people get away from danger 4．What’s the best title for this passage? A．How can we have a better memory? B．Why is forgetting not only a weakness? C．Which is more important, forgetting or remembering? D．When is the best time to learn the challenging information? The Spring Festival Gala is the most exciting TV show during Chinese New Year. This year, a dance program called “Joy on the Branches” became the biggest surprise of the night. When the show began, the audience immediately fell in love with the beautiful stage (舞台) design. It looked like a real Chinese painting from ancient times. In the center stood an amazing prop (道具)—a huge pine branch (松枝) that was 9.5 meters long and 4.5 meters tall. People said it was the biggest prop ever used in the Gala’s history. The pine branch looked so real that it seemed someone had just cut it from a forest. Then the dancers appeared quietly. Their costumes (戏服) used traditional Chinese colors like light blue, deep blue, and creamy white. Their movements were smooth and natural, like water flowing in a small river. Instead of doing difficult jumps or deep bends, they moved sideways across the stage like birds flying low. Through their body language, they showed the happy expressions and playful actions of magpies (喜鹊), making people feel they were watching real birds instead of dancers. Actually, this dance was created based on a famous old Chinese painting. The team wanted to share the beauty of traditional art with modern dance. To make this happen, they used special stage effects like hanging cloths, light projections, and floor screens. These techniques mixed flat paintings with 3D space perfectly. When the “magpies” flew across the stage, they seemed to jump in and out of the painting. The whole performance became a moving artwork that showed the special beauty of Chinese culture. This program not only presented wonderful dancing but also helped people understand how modern technology can bring old paintings to life. The mix of traditional stories and new ideas made it a perfect example of China’s rich cultural heritage. Many viewers said it felt like traveling through time to experience ancient art in a fresh way. The success of “Joy on the Branches” proves that classic beauty never goes out of style when we find creative ways to share it. 1．What was special about the pine branch prop? A．It could move like real branches. B．It was made from real forest wood. C．It was the largest prop in Gala history. D．It looked like an old Chinese painting. 2．How did the dancers show magpies’ movements? A．By moving sideways like birds. B．By wearing bird-shaped costumes. C．Through difficult jumps and spins. D．With the help of hanging colorful cloths. 3．What is the main purpose of the passage? A．To introduce a wonderful TV programme. B．To explain the history of Spring Festival Gala. C．To describe a dance program’s creative design. D．To compare traditional and modern Chinese art. Biking is a cheap, fun, and environmentally friendly way to get around. In New York City, there is a very special bike group. Recycle-a-Bicycle is an organization that works to educate people about bikes and the environment. It also provides job training by teaching people—especially young people—how to build bikes. In just one year, Recycle-a-Bicycle can save up to 1,200 bicycles that would otherwise end up at the dump. These bikes are refurbished, then sold, or donated to someone who needs one. People can buy refurbished bikes at the Recycle-a-Bicycle stores. Bikes that are too old to repair are broken up into parts, and the aluminum (铝) and steel is separated for recycling. This adds up to 12,000 pounds of metal recycled each year. The money raised from bike sales helps to fund Recycle-a-Bicycle’s youth and environmental programs. The programs include Bike Bonanzas, which offer free biking activities to families. Recycle-a-Bicycle also offers training courses that teach people how to build and repair bikes. Through a program offered in some schools, students have the opportunity to earn their own bicycles. Students learn how to fix old bikes. Then they can volunteer their time in exchange for a bike of their own. As well as refurbishing bikes, Recycle-a-Bicycle encourages recycled arts. They hold workshops that focus on turning old bike parts into art, crafts, and jewelry. Workshops that teach people how to maintain (保养) and repair their own bicycles are also very popular. Recycle-a-Bicycle is an organization that is working hard to educate people about both bikes and the importance of caring for the environment. 1．What does the underlined word “refurbished” mean in Paragraph 2? A．added to other items B．changed into something else C．broken up into different parts D．fixed to improve the appearance 2．According to the passage, which of the following things are done by Recycle-a-Bicycle? ①recycling not only old bikes but also arts ②donating or raising money by selling new bikes ③helping people learn more about bikes and environment ④offering jobs and courses like building and repairing bikes A．①② B．①③ C．②④ D．③④ 3．The purpose of this passage is to ________. A．explain reasons for and backgrounds of recycling old bikes B．advise bike owners to find other ways to deal with their bikes C．introduce the practice and value of the organization Recycle-a-Bicycle D．call on Recycle-a-Bicycle to offer different courses to different people In China, more and more adults are becoming overweight. In fact,34. 8% of adults are overweight and 14. 1% are obese （肥胖的）. The number of obese people is growing faster than the number of those who are just overweight. Experts say that each year there are 5. 4% more obese adults in China. Zhang Zhongtao, who works at Beijing Friendship Hospital, said that obesity was causing big health and money problems around the world. It is now a serious public health problem in China. By the year of 2030, it is expected that China will spend about 22% of all its healthcare money on problems related to being overweight or obese. At a meeting, Zhang asked people to pay more attention to obesity and how to manage weight. He believes that the government and society do not focus enough on this problem. “We hope to work with public charities to give help to obese patients who need to lose weight medically but can’t pay for it.” he said. He also explained why people become overweight. It is mainly because they eat more energy than they run out of. In the north of China, people like to eat noodles, and in the south, they prefer rice. Both foods have carbohydrates （碳水化合物）, but eating noodles can make you gain more weight. Climate （气候） also affects people in the north. Because it’s colder, they like to eat foods with more calories, like fried chicken and chocolate, to stay warm. Obesity is a common problem and can lead to other diseases. This is why it’s so important to prevent and control obesity to help build a “Healthy China”. 1．What reasons for being overweight are true according to the passage? ①Eating too much. ②The climate in the north. ③Suffering from a disease. ④Preferring noodles to rice. ⑤Eating too late. ⑥Being in a poor sleep. A．①③④ B．②④⑥ C．①②④ D．②③⑤ 2．What can we probably infer from the passage? A．there are 5. 4% more obese children in China each year. B．Rice and fried chicken are good for keeping out of the cold completely. C．People have full understanding about the problems of being overweight. D．Overweight and obese problems may cover less than a quarter of China’s medical cost. 3．Which of the following best shows the structure of the passage? A． B． C． D． 4．What is the passage mainly about? A．You are what you eat. B．How much you spend on losing weight. C．Rising obesity rates in China need attention. D．Overweight adults like to eat more food. After 10 years of difficult talks, nearly 200 countries agreed to a new United Nations (UN) agreement to protect the world’s oceans. The agreement has been the first of its kind in 40 years. It plans to protect 30% of the open oceans by 2030. Oceans cover about 71% of the Earth’s surface and are home to hundreds of thousands of different kinds of animals and plants. Healthy oceans are a very important part of a healthy planet. But the oceans are in trouble. Overfishing (捕捞过度) has had a terrible effect on many kinds of fish and other animals. Pollution from ships and other places has caused serious problems. In 1982, an agreement described the “high seas (公海)”, but it did not protect them. In these areas, all countries have the right to fish, send ships, and do research. The high seas cover about two-thirds of the ocean. But now people only protect 1.2% of the areas. Last December, over 110 countries agreed to protect 30% of their land and ocean areas by 2030. Without an international agreement, there was no way to make this goal meaningful for the whole ocean. The new agreement now makes this feasible. The new agreement tries to turn 30% of the high seas into protected areas by 2030. It also says that activities planned for the high seas must first be examined to see what kind of influences they might have on the ocean environment. Businesses in some countries hope to make a lot of money by getting valuable things from the bottom of the sea. Other businesses hope to find plants or animals in the ocean that could lead to new discoveries and new medicines. Many of the disagreements were about how valuable things would be shared between rich countries and poor ones. Poor countries wanted to make sure that the valuable things would help everyone, not just people in rich countries. 1．Which best describes the number of countries that agreed to the UN ocean protection agreement? A．Nearly 20 countries. B．About half of the countries. C．Most countries in the world. D．Just a few countries. 2．What does Paragraph 2 mainly show us? A．The problems oceans face. B．Some ways to protect oceans. C．Different kinds of ocean creatures. D．People’s different ideas about oceans. 3．What does the underlined word “feasible” in Paragraph 3 mean? A．Awful. B．Painful. C．Possible. D．Dangerous. 4．What can we know from the passage? A．The new agreement only tries to protect fish. B．All countries will stop fishing in the high seas. C．Valuable things from the oceans will go to rich countries. D．Many countries have paid attention to protecting the oceans. 试卷第1页，共3页 试卷第1页，共3页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 题型07 阅读理解之说明文15篇 (镇江专用) 【题型知识点细目表】 题号 难度 知识点 1 适中 说明文,常见动物 2 适中 说明文,发明与创造 3 适中 科普知识,说明文,常见动物 4 较易 游戏,工作与职业,说明文,主旨大意,推理判断,细节理解 5 适中 说明文,青少年问题 6 适中 科普知识,说明文,健康饮食 7 适中 科普知识,说明文,常见动物 8 适中 说明文,方法/策略,哲理感悟 9 适中 说明文,科学技术,青少年问题 10 适中 说明文,电影与戏剧,方法/策略 11 适中 科普知识,说明文 12 适中 中华文化,说明文,音乐与舞蹈 13 较易 科普知识,说明文 14 适中 说明文,健康饮食 15 适中 说明文,环境保护 【中考真题】 Do you know dolphins and believe they are among the smartest animals? Dolphins are mammals (哺乳动物), not fish. The most famous type is the Bottlenose Dolphin. Bottlenose Dolphins are the stars of many shows. Their mouths look like friendly smiles and they can be trained to play tricks by their trainers. Like other dolphins, they breathe air through the blowholes on top of their heads from the water surface. They also give birth to babies and feed their babies milk. Dolphins can communicate through whistles (哨音) and even call each other, using special names formed by different series of whistles. Noises also help them find food. Dolphins make up to 1,000 clicking noises per second. These clicks travel underwater until they hit an object and return to the dolphin, showing the object’s size, shape and location. Humans have studied dolphins for years to learn how their brains work. A lot of research has been made to study dolphins in the wild. For example, people have seen dolphins off Australia’s coast use shells to catch fish. It shows that dolphins are good at using tools. It is said that smart animals like to play. If so, dolphins win the gold medal for their playfulness. They can jump out of the water up to 16 feet, play amazing tricks and ride the waves. Scientists give different reasons for play. They find that play helps animals grow mentally and physically. The animals learn their own limits and abilities, practice skills and gain confidence. So, when you see dolphins playing in the wild, you’ll know that they are not just playing for fun, but also to practice their skills and stay healthy. 1．What is Paragraph 2 mainly about? A．An introduction to a kind of dolphin. B．Reasons why dolphins play in the wild. C．Differences between mammals and fish. D．The way dolphins communicate with each other. 2．What ability of dolphins does the underlined word “It” in Paragraph 3 refer to (指代)? A．Calling each other. B．Using shells to catch fish. C．Jumping out of the water. D．Playing amazing tricks. 3．How does the writer prove that dolphins are among the smartest animals? A．By presenting facts. B．By carrying out a survey. C．By comparing numbers. D．By interviewing trainers. 【答案】1．A 2．B 3．A 【导语】本文主要介绍了海豚（尤其是宽吻海豚）的特点，包括它们的类别属性、交流方式、使用工具的能力以及玩耍的作用，以此说明海豚是最聪明的动物之一。 1．主旨大意题。通读第二段可知，本段主要介绍了宽吻海豚（Bottlenose Dolphin），涵盖其作为表演明星的特点、外形（嘴巴像友好的微笑）、能被训练做特技，以及呼吸方式、繁殖哺乳方式等内容，是对一种海豚的介绍。故选A。 2．词句猜测题。第三段中 “It” 指代前文“people have seen dolphins off Australia’s coast use shells to catch fish”（人们看到澳大利亚海岸的海豚用贝壳捕鱼）这件事，该事例体现海豚擅长使用工具。故选B。 3．推理判断题。作者通过呈现诸多事实（如海豚是哺乳动物、用哨音交流、会用贝壳捕鱼、借玩耍锻炼技能等），来证明海豚是最聪明的动物之一，属于通过呈现事实的方式。故选A。 Many years ago, flying to another place sounded impossible. In fact, science has made it real. Could fantasy stories become true with the help of science? Sleeping Beauty Could anyone sleep for 100 years? Of course not. But some animals and plants sleep long. Bears and snakes sleep for months through the winter. They slow down their breath, lower body temperatures and don’t eat or drink. Some seeds can dry themselves out and hide in the dark for years. If scientists can move these characteristics to humans, Sleeping Beauty might be born. Talking to animals In the real world, talking to animals isn’t easy, but scientists are working towards it. Tiny cameras have collected thousands of hours’ animal conversations. Then, special programs connect the sounds to possible meanings. These programs may let us talk back to animals in the future. Super strength In fairy stories, the lucky ones found magic food to get power. But it’s a pity that scientists haven’t invented any magic food that can make us strong in a second. In fact, we can get super strength with the help of smart machines. Mechanical exoskeletons (机械的外骨骼) are like wearing a robot. They can be used to help people with disabilities walk easily. That’s pretty super. Invisible coat (隐形衣) Some animals are quite good at changing colours to hide themselves. If you want to have an invisible coat, here is good news for you! Scientists have invented new materials that can change the directions of light around objects. So far, they have managed to hide tiny objects. Hiding larger objects, such as humans, is even harder, but the new materials could cover our coat and make us at least harder to be seen. 1．What do bears and snakes probably do while sleeping through the winter? ①stop eating and drinking            ②slow down their breath ③hide in the dark                   ④dry themselves out ⑤lower body temperatures A．①②④ B．①②⑤ C．②④⑤ D．③④⑤ 2．According to the passage, what progress have scientists made? A．Helping people change skin colours. B．Talking to animals through programs. C．Getting super strength through machines. D．Making people sleep for months in winter. 3．Which part of a magazine is the passage most probably taken from? A．Sports. B．Travel. C．History. D．Science. 【答案】1．B 2．C 3．D 【导语】本文讲述了科学正在将幻想故事中的情节变为现实。 1．细节理解题。根据“Bears and snakes sleep for months through the winter. They slow down their breath, lower body temperatures and don’t eat or drink.”可知，熊和蛇在冬眠时会减缓呼吸、降低体温且不吃不喝，对应①②⑤。故选B。 2．细节理解题。根据“In fact, we can get super strength with the help of smart machines. Mechanical exoskeletons (机械的外骨骼) are like wearing a robot.”可知，科学家已实现通过智能机器获得超强力量。故选C。 3．推理判断题。主要探讨科学如何让童话故事中的情节成为可能，涉及动物休眠、与动物交流、机械外骨骼、隐形衣等科学领域的内容。因此，这篇文章最可能来自杂志的科学版块。故选D。 A bird’s feather coat is made up of many different kinds of feathers. Each has a different function (功能). ●Head Feathers Head feathers come in all sizes. Tiny ones grow in overlapping (交叠的) rows to make a silky covering for a bird’s head. ●Primary Flight Feathers The outer wing feathers are long and strong. They are usually wider on one side. Their job is to push air as birds fly. ●Secondary Flight Feathers A row of smaller feathers grows on the bottom of the wing closer to the body. These also push air, so birds can fly. ●Tail Feathers Tail feathers help birds fly forward and stop during their flight. ●Down Feathers Down feathers grow under the other feathers. They are light and soft. Their job is to keep birds warm. ◆Flight Feathers push down on the air, so birds can fly. Feathers can move, so birds can change the shape of their wings. And feathers are light, so they don’t add too much weight. ◆Social Media Birds’ feathers tell the world who they are. Eye-catching feathers are good for attracting mates. ◆Protection Feathers of different colours and shapes act like camouflage (保护色), hiding birds from enemies. And often when an enemy tries to catch a bird, all it gets is a mouthful of tail feathers. ◆Keeping warm and cool Down feathers stop heat from getting in or out. This helps the bird stay just the right temperature. Feathers are so good at catching heat that penguins can stay warm even when standing on the ice sheet at 40 below zero. 1．Which part of a bird is introduced in the passage? A． B． C． D． 2．Which of the following feathers do birds mainly depend on to fly? ①Head Feathers    ②Primary Flight Feathers    ③Secondary Flight Feathers    ④Tail Feathers    ⑤Down Feathers A．②③④ B．①②④ C．③④⑤ D．①④⑤ 3．What can feathers help birds do according to the passage? A．Birds can change the shape of wings because feathers come in all sizes. B．Some feathers can help birds hide themselves because they are very light. C．Birds like penguins can keep warm because down feathers are quite silky. D．Some feathers can be birds’ social media because they can help attract mates. 【答案】1．C 2．A 3．D 【导语】本文主要介绍鸟的羽毛的不同作用。 1．细节理解题。根据“A bird’s feather coat is made up of many different kinds of feathers.”可知，文章介绍鸟的羽毛，故选C。 2．细节理解题。根据“●Primary Flight Feathers Their job is to push air as birds fly.”，“●Secondary Flight Feathers These also push air, so birds can fly.”和“●Tail Feathers Tail feathers help birds fly forward and stop during their flight.”可知，鸟类主要依靠主飞羽、次飞羽和尾羽飞行，故选A。 3．细节理解题。根据“Eye-catching feathers are good for attracting mates.”可知，醒目的羽毛有利于吸引配偶，选项D“有些羽毛可以成为鸟类的社交媒体，因为它们可以帮助吸引配偶。”表述正确，故选D。 Do you enjoy playing video games? Have you ever thought about what it would be like to design them for a living? Today, let’s talk about Mitu Khandaker’s cool job. Mitu Khandaker is a game developer, someone who codes (编程序) and designs games. And she also teaches games. Being a game developer is like wearing a lot of different hats at once. One minute, she might be fixing some code. Another minute, she might be solving a design problem, or creating art. The other part of the job is working with people. It’s very collaborative (合作的). The best game designers are people who have a wide range of interests, because you want to bring those into games. So yes, you might love playing games. But you might also be someone who loves painting or writing stories, or making music, or even just listening to music. For example, Mitu Khandaker loves listening to hip-hop. Whatever your interests are, there is a space for that in games to tell these amazing new stories. If you want to be a game designer, Mitu Khandaker would say follow your passion and believe in yourself. If you like writing stories, or you like drawing or painting or designing board games—whatever it is—there is a place for you in games. Don’t take no for an answer. That’s how she got to where she is. If you enjoy learning about more interesting jobs, find more on Your Hot Job, a career-focused website for kids. 1．According to the passage, what is Mitu Khandaker? A．A story writer.

One minute, she might be fixing some code. Another minute, she might be solving a design problem, or creating art. The other part of the job is working with people.”可知，本段主要介绍了Mitu Khandaker在日常工作中需要做不同的事情，包括编程、解决设计问题、创作艺术以及与人合作等。故选C。 3．推理判断题。根据文章第四段“If you want to be a game designer, Mitu Khandaker would say follow your passion and believe in yourself.”以及第二段“The other part of the job is working with people. It’s very collaborative (合作的).”可知，想要成为游戏设计师，应该追随自己的热情并相信自己，即要有自信，同时还需要与人合作，即要容易合作。而“你应该能够在一分钟内编写和设计游戏”这一说法过于绝对，不符合实际；“你应该喜欢玩游戏、画画、写故事或制作音乐”虽然是成为优秀游戏设计师的一个有利条件，但并非必须具备的品质，因为文章中提到的是“无论你的兴趣是什么，游戏中都有空间来讲述这些惊人的新故事”。因此，①②正确，故选A。 【热点话题练习】 Should Teenagers Have Part-time Jobs?  In today’s fast-changing world, many teenagers are eager to earn their own money. Yet, some parents strongly oppose part-time jobs during school terms, fearing that work will take time away from homework and rest. While this concern is understandable, growing evidence suggests that moderate work experience can actually benefit teens in ways classrooms cannot.     Research from the National Youth Development Center shows that students who work 5–10 hours per week are more likely to develop a strong sense of responsibility. They learn to manage their time wisely, meet deadlines, and handle real-life challenges—skills that are crucial for future success.     Take Emma, a 15-year-old student in Suzhou. Every Saturday morning, she works at a local bookstore, arranging shelves and helping customers. “Before I got this job, I didn’t think much about how hard it is to earn money,” she admits. “Now, I save up for things like concert tickets or new books instead of asking my parents for everything.” Surprisingly, her teachers say she’s become more focused in class. “She plans her study schedule better now,” says her math teacher.     Of course, balance is essential. Experts warn that working over 15 hours a week may lead to stress or lower academic performance. Therefore, they recommend limiting work to weekends or holidays, and choosing safe, age-appropriate roles—such as tutoring primary students, assisting in family-run shops, or volunteering at community centers. Dangerous or late-night jobs should be avoided.     More importantly, part-time work teaches independence. When teens solve problems on their own—whether it’s dealing with a difficult customer or managing their first paycheck—they gain confidence. As one education expert puts it: “School prepares you for tests; real life prepares you for life.”     So, should teens work? Not recklessly—but thoughtfully. With proper limits and parental guidance, a part-time job can be a valuable step toward adulthood. 1．What is the author’s main purpose in writing this passage? A．To prove that school is less important than work. B．To argue that all teens must get jobs immediately. C．To explain how moderate work can help teen development. D．To criticize parents who don’t let their children work. 2．The word “moderate” in Paragraph 1 most probably means ______. A．not too much B．extremely difficult C．very high D．completely free 3．According to the passage, which of the following is TRUE? A．Emma’s grades dropped after she started working. B．Working more than 15 hours a week is encouraged. C．All part-time jobs are dangerous for teenagers. D．Tutoring younger kids is considered a suitable job. 4．What can we infer from Emma’s story? A．She no longer talks to her parents about money. B．Her job has helped her become more self-disciplined. C．She plans to quit school to work full-time. D．Bookstores are the best places for teen jobs. 【答案】1．C 2．A 3．D 4．B 【导语】本文主要讲述了作者认为在适当限制（每周 5—10 小时）和父母指导下，青少年从事兼职工作并非坏事；适度兼职能培养责任感、时间管理能力和独立性，对个人发展有益，但需避免过度工作和危险岗位，不能影响学业。 1．主旨大意题。根据文中“While this concern is understandable, growing evidence suggests that moderate work experience can actually benefit teens in ways classrooms cannot.”及通读全文可知，主要讲述了作者认为在适当限制和父母指导下，青少年从事兼职工作并非坏事；适度兼职能培养责任感、时间管理能力和独立性，对个人发展有益。因此，选项C“适度兼职对青少年发展的帮助”。故选C。 2．词句猜测题。根据文中“5–10 hours per week”及“working over 15 hours a week may lead to stress or lower academic performance.”，可知 “moderate” 指“适度的，不太多的”。故选A。 3．细节理解题。根据文中第四段“Therefore, they recommend limiting work to weekends or holidays, and choosing safe, age-appropriate roles—such as tutoring primary students, assisting in family-run shops, or volunteering at community centers.”可知，辅导年幼的孩子被认为是一份合适的工作。故选D。 4．推理判断题。根据文中第三段“she plans her study schedule better now”，可推测Emma 的工作让她更自律。故选B。 A spoonful of pickles (泡菜) can sometimes make a meal taste better. Recently, a new type of pickle is being discussed: “digital pickles”. It means the videos people watch while eating. Many people think that the videos can make their food more appetizing (引起食欲的). The topic received more than 16 million clicks on a website and about 100,000 people took part in the discussion. Many young people in China are kept company by TV shows or short videos. Many believe that their food is more delicious with the “digital pickles”. Can this habit influence your diet? According to a research paper published (发表) in 2019, you may eat more without realization. The international research team asked 62 volunteers to follow different eating patterns for four days. The patterns included eating while looking at the mobile phone and eating without distraction (干扰). The team discovered that eating with distraction increased calorie ingestion (热量摄入) by about 15%. To explore the reason, the team also invited two groups of people: one group ate while listening to an audio clip (音乐片段) about another person eating; the other listened to a clip that helped them imagine themselves eating. At last, the second group ate less because they focused on their food more. This result works not only for eating meals but also for other tasks which need a lot of patience and skills as well. A research team invited 120 volunteers to do different tasks while providing them with drinks and snacks. When they focused on their tasks and their attention was distracted, they were less likely to tell how full they felt and ate more than they expected. 1．Why do people eat more with “digital pickles”? A．Because they are more focused on their meals. B．Because they are distracted by “digital pickles”. C．Because the food tastes better with “digital pickles”. D．Because the “digital pickles” make them feel hungrier. 2．What’s the purpose of the last paragraph? A．To explain how to tell you are full. B．To present how to avoid being distracted. C．To give another case that causes overeating. D．To describe the advantages of “digital pickles”. 3．What would be the best title for the passage? A．Eating While Talking B．Focusing on Our Food C．Enjoying Dinner with a Show D．Having Food with Other People 4．What is the best structure of the passage? A．B． C． D． 【答案】1．B 2．C 3．C 4．A 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要探讨了“数字泡菜”（即吃饭时观看的视频）对人们饮食的影响，研究发现这种习惯会分散人们的注意力，导致人们不自觉地摄入更多热量。 1．细节理解题。根据文章第三段“According to a research paper published (发表) in 2019, you may eat more without realization.”以及第四段“To explore the reason, the team also invited two groups of people: one group ate while listening to an audio clip (音乐片段) about another person eating; the other listened to a clip that helped them imagine themselves eating. At last, the second group ate less because they focused on their food more.”可知，人们在有“数字泡菜”的情况下会吃得更多，是因为他们的注意力被分散了，没有专注于食物。故选B。 2．推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“This result works not only for eating meals but also for other tasks which need a lot of patience and skills as well. A research team invited 120 volunteers to do different tasks while providing them with drinks and snacks. When they focused on their tasks and their attention was distracted, they were less likely to tell how full they felt and ate more than they expected.”可知，最后一段通过另一个实验案例，进一步说明了注意力分散会导致人们吃得更多，即过度进食。因此，最后一段的目的是给出另一个导致过度进食的案例。故选C。 3．最佳标题题。根据文章第一段“Recently, a new type of pickle is being discussed: ‘digital pickles’. It means the videos people watch while eating.”以及全文内容可知，本文主要探讨了“数字泡菜”（即吃饭时观看的视频）对人们饮食的影响，因此最佳标题应为“Enjoying Dinner with a Show”（边看节目边享受晚餐）。故选C。 4．篇章结构题。本文第一段提出很多人认为“电子泡菜”让食物更美味；第二、三段介绍了看视频会让人们吃得更多；第四段说明了听音频让注意力不集中，人们会吃得更多；第五段说明了其他会让人吃得更多的情况。综合全文可知，本文首段主要概述“电子泡菜”，后面四段进行具体分析说明，结构为“总一分”形式。故选A。 Do you wonder why cicadas (蝉) keep singing in the trees on hot summer days? Where do they live and how long can they live? In fact, different kinds of cicadas have different life cycles. Cicadas only spend a small part of their lives in the trees. Most cicadas live under the ground. Some are annual cicadas which appear above the ground every year, others are periodical (周期的) cicadas which appear only once every few years. The 17-year cicadas are one of the periodical cicadas and appear every 17years. Female cicadas lay their eggs in the trees. In the summer of next year, baby cicadas come out of the eggs, fall to the ground and dig deep holes. They are nymphs (若虫). They don’t spend their years sleeping in these holes. Instead, they are active in digging tunnels. Some scientists think that periodical cicadas have special clocks inside their bodies that note the passing of years through environmental signs. They give cicadas the final sign: it’s time to get out of the holes. However, it’s also said that when the nymphs come out from their underground homes depends on __________. The nymphs wait for the perfect one before making the journey to the surface. Once that temperature is reached, all the nymphs in the area will feel it. After the nymphs come up to the top of the ground, they climb onto a nearby plant, becoming adult cicadas. They have big bodies and four clear wings. They live about four to six more weeks. Male cicadas make loud calls in order to attract female cicadas. After baby cicadas are born, both male and female cicadas will die quickly. Then the cycle starts all over again. No one is sure why some cicadas have such a long life cycle, but cicadas are truly a wonder of nature. 1．Why does the writer ask questions at the very beginning of the passage? A．To show how much the writer likes cicadas. B．To prove the writer knows little about cicadas. C．To draw the readers’ attention to the topic. D．To get the right answers from the readers. 2．Which is the most suitable for the blank in Paragraph 2? A．soil B．age C．temperature D．environment 3．What can you learn from the passage? A．Most cicadas spend all their lives in the trees. B．Female cicadas lay their eggs under the ground. C．Male cicadas make loud calls to wake up baby cicadas. D．The 17-year cicadas live under the ground for about 17 years. 【答案】1．C 2．C 3．D 【导语】本文介绍蝉的生命周期，包括其在地下生活的时长、若虫出土的触发条件（温度）以及成虫短暂的地上生活，强调周期蝉的特殊性及其自然奇迹。 1．推理判断题。根据“Do you wonder why cicadas (蝉) keep singing in the trees on hot summer days? Where do they live and how long can they live? In fact, different kinds of cicadas have different life cycles. Cicadas only spend a small part of their lives in the trees. Most cicadas live under the ground.”可知，开篇连续提问：蝉为何鸣叫、栖息何处和寿命多长，目的是激发读者对话题的兴趣，引出下文对蝉生命周期的科学说明。故选C。 2．推理判断题。根据“Once that temperature is reached, all the nymphs in the area will feel it.”可知，空处填temperature“温度”，若虫从地下爬出来取决于温度，一旦达到这个温度，该地区的所有若虫都会感受到。故选C。 3．推理判断题。根据“The 17-year cicadas are one of the periodical cicadas and appear every 17years.”可知，17年蝉是周期性蝉之一，每17年出现一次。故选D。 Life is always changing. The only thing that never changes is change itself. There can be lots of new things that happen in your life. Sometimes that’s great but at other times it can make you feel unsure and worried. The changes which make you happy are positive changes. You make them happen by yourself and they bring you happy feelings, like making a new friend. However, some changes you face could make you feel worried or uncertain. They can be big things like moving schools, a friend going away or family life changing. They can be smaller ones like a new teacher taking over your class. All of these things can bring up some pretty big feelings. Change can be difficult to deal with because it often brings feelings of uncertainty. Scientists explain that our brains love things take place in a usual way. They make us feel safe. When something changes, like starting a new school or moving to a new home, it can feel like stepping into an unknown world. It’s like going on a surprise journey without a map. This can make us feel nervous or worried because we don’t know what to expect. Of course, life would be boring if everything stayed the same all the time. Trying new things and making changes help you discover what you like—and don’t like. For example, if you didn’t try new ice cream, how would you have known you love it? It also helps you to grow and learn new skills. There are simple things you can do to make it easier to deal with life changes. Firstly, share your thoughts and feelings with someone you trust. It helps to put your worries into words. Then, think of change as an experience. Ask questions and learn as much as you can about what’s new. Finally, look for things that stay the same—maybe you still have your favourite game or book with you. This helps create a sense of comfort. 1．How does the writer organize his ideas in this passage? A．Time order. B．Space order. C．From general to specific. D．From specific to general. 2．Which of the following is a positive change according to the passage? A．Nancy received a nice hair clip at her birthday party. B．Daniel joined the basketball team because he loved sports. C．Simon were asked to give a speech on how to make friends. D．Millie failed the final exam though she always worked hard. 3．What’s the writer’s opinion towards life changes? A．Big or small changes can influence you much. B．Making changes depends on your likes and dislikes. C．Our brains like changes because they make us feel safe. D．Looking for changes helps create a comfortable feeling. 【答案】1．C 2．B 3．A 【导语】本文通过阐述生活中变化的相关内容，表达对生活变化的看法，并给出应对建议。 1．推理判断题。通读全文内容可知，本文先总体说生活在变化，接着具体讲生活中变化的不同影响、变化难应对的原因、变化的好处以及应对变化的方法，是“从一般到具体”的结构。故选C。 2．推理判断题。根据“You make them happen by yourself and they bring you happy feelings, like making a new friend.”可知，文中表述的是自己主动做且带来积极感受的变化，选项B“丹尼尔因为热爱运动而加入了篮球队。”属于积极变化，且是自身主动促成的变化。故选B。 3．观点态度题。根据“They can be big things like moving schools, a friend going away or family life changing. They can be smaller ones like a new teacher taking over your class. All of these things can bring up some pretty big feelings.”可知，作者认为无论大小变化都对人影响大。故选A。 The development of Virtual Reality (VR) technology has changed our lives as it is commonly used in entertainment such as video games while the same time creating digital spaces for people. However, VR technology has its downsides. Without the supervision (管理), the world of virtual reality can prove to be dangerous space that can bring harmful danger to teenagers. Firstly, VR games and experiences require users to wear VR headsets most of the time, giving rise to health risks. VR headsets blind the users from the world around them, as a result, they could easily get hurt. Toby Robiecelli, a teenager, lost his balance and hurt his knees seriously while playing a shooter game called Superhot VR. Another teenager, Landon Woodward, hurt his right hand while playing the VR game named Gorilla Tag, with one of his fingernails falling off. The VR world sometimes causes teenagers to forget about their physical conditions. Secondly, the world of VR may also create a sense of detachment (冷漠) in teenagers. The VR world is often more exciting than the real world and it can easily satisfy the social and entertainment needs of teenagers. That’s a welcome change from their stressful school life. However, teenagers may lose their connection with real life — their school life, family or friends. Lastly, it is harder for parents to check the content in the VR world. Teenagers can easily get in touch with strangers and put themselves in the dangerous situation. In conclusion, although VR has opened up a new world to children, it has also increased the risks. Before trying new areas of VR apps, we’d better take a step back and consider the possible result of this technology. 1．Why does the writer mention Toby Robiecelli and Landon Woodward? A．To prove that VR games are very exciting. B．To show the health risks of using VR headsets. C．To prove that VR headsets are of poor quality. D．To show that teenagers are good at playing VR games. 2．Why can the VR world easily satisfy the social and entertainment needs of teenagers? A．By providing more care for physical conditions. B．By making teenagers wear comfortable headsets. C．By offering experiences different from their school life.

That person could be a screenwriter, a director, a producer or someone else. But it is the screenwriter who takes that idea and writes the story. How to be a screenwriter and make a movie? We asked some successful ones and their answers may help you. How to organize your story?As in any story, you have to decide the characters. Don’t use too many. What about a main character, his or her friend, and a bad guy? That’s a good start. In any good story, the main character needs to face a problem, then solve it or not. The story is about the main character’s efforts, whether successful or not. How to write your screenplay?The written version (版本) of your story is called a screenplay. Screenplays are written in a special way. They include settings, actions or things about the film. When your screenplay is done, have a “reading”. Have friends play the part and read the script aloud. You might even want to read it in front of more people. Who knows? One day your screenplay might become a film! How long?In a typed screenplay, like mine, one page means about one minute of movie time. Screenplays for most Hollywood feature films run 90 to 120 pages. Don’t worry, though. Your first movie might be just a few minutes long. What matters is that you have a good story and you tell it well. 1．What can we infer (推断) about the screenwriter from Paragraph 1? A．Screenwriters provide all the important movie ideas. B．Screenwriters are the only ones who can make a movie. C．Screenwriters play a key role in turning ideas into stories. D．Screenwriters have no relationship with other moviemakers. 2．What does the underlined sentence in the first answer mean? A．The bad guy is a must in the movie.

It is because the brain often considers going through a door as entering a new place. This causes you to lose your memory for a while and forget why you went there. This is just one example about how our memory works in our brain. Forgetting really makes people unhappy, but our brain can only work in this way—by staying in a balance of forgetting something easily and remembering something clearly. Our memory shapes who we are and allows us to form relationships. It is also a tool for keeping us alive. By learning what’s dangerous and remembering simple information like where to live comfortably or where to find food, humans make better choices about what will be good for us and what to avoid. When learning new information, whether it’s a challenging skill or a name of an object, the brain forms new connections between neurons (神经元). The busier the neural map is, the smarter you will become. But just as a smart phone slows down when it stores too much information, your brain also slows down when it has too much to deal with. It will actively forget some unused information or unimportant feelings by making neurons less connected. This helps prevent too much information and control terrible memories to keep people calm for daily life. Forgetting also builds creativity. Long-term memories (长期记忆) may make our thoughts and actions too rigid (僵化的) and prevent the brain forming new ideas. When you repeat doing things in the same way, your brain will get used to rigid habits and thoughts. Forgetting is sometimes considered a weakness, but it actually plays an important role. By clearing out unnecessary information, the brain can better take notice of the important information in order to help shape us and keep our mind healthy. 1．How does the writer start the article? A．By giving an example. B．By comparing numbers. C．By offering suggestions. D．By using famous sayings. 2．What does “It” in Paragraph 3 refer to? A．A smart phone. B．The memory. C．The brain. D．The neuron. 3．According to Paragraph 4, forgetting can _________. A．keep people calm for daily life B．encourage the growth of creating C．clean up unnecessary information D．help people get away from danger 4．What’s the best title for this passage? A．How can we have a better memory? B．Why is forgetting not only a weakness? C．Which is more important, forgetting or remembering? D．When is the best time to learn the challenging information? 【答案】1．A 2．C 3．B 4．B 【导语】本文主要探讨了遗忘现象在大脑中的功能与作用，指出遗忘不仅是记忆的弱点，更是大脑保持平衡、促进创造力和维持心理健康的重要机制。 1．细节理解题。根据第一段“Have you ever entered a room and suddenly forgotten why you went there?”可知，作者通过举例（进入房间后突然忘记目的）引入话题。故选A。 2．词句猜测题。根据第三段“But just as a smart phone slows down… your brain also slows down… It will actively forget…”可知，it指代前句主语“your brain”。故选C。 3．细节理解题。根据第四段“Forgetting also builds creativity”及后文可知，遗忘能打破思维僵化，促进新想法的形成。故选B。 4．最佳标题题。全文通过分析遗忘的积极作用（如信息筛选、促进创造力等），说明其不仅是弱点。选项B最契合主题。故选B。 The Spring Festival Gala is the most exciting TV show during Chinese New Year. This year, a dance program called “Joy on the Branches” became the biggest surprise of the night. When the show began, the audience immediately fell in love with the beautiful stage (舞台) design. It looked like a real Chinese painting from ancient times. In the center stood an amazing prop (道具)—a huge pine branch (松枝) that was 9.5 meters long and 4.5 meters tall. People said it was the biggest prop ever used in the Gala’s history. The pine branch looked so real that it seemed someone had just cut it from a forest. Then the dancers appeared quietly. Their costumes (戏服) used traditional Chinese colors like light blue, deep blue, and creamy white. Their movements were smooth and natural, like water flowing in a small river. Instead of doing difficult jumps or deep bends, they moved sideways across the stage like birds flying low. Through their body language, they showed the happy expressions and playful actions of magpies (喜鹊), making people feel they were watching real birds instead of dancers. Actually, this dance was created based on a famous old Chinese painting. The team wanted to share the beauty of traditional art with modern dance. To make this happen, they used special stage effects like hanging cloths, light projections, and floor screens. These techniques mixed flat paintings with 3D space perfectly. When the “magpies” flew across the stage, they seemed to jump in and out of the painting. The whole performance became a moving artwork that showed the special beauty of Chinese culture. This program not only presented wonderful dancing but also helped people understand how modern technology can bring old paintings to life. The mix of traditional stories and new ideas made it a perfect example of China’s rich cultural heritage. Many viewers said it felt like traveling through time to experience ancient art in a fresh way. The success of “Joy on the Branches” proves that classic beauty never goes out of style when we find creative ways to share it. 1．What was special about the pine branch prop? A．It could move like real branches. B．It was made from real forest wood. C．It was the largest prop in Gala history. D．It looked like an old Chinese painting. 2．How did the dancers show magpies’ movements? A．By moving sideways like birds. B．By wearing bird-shaped costumes. C．Through difficult jumps and spins. D．With the help of hanging colorful cloths. 3．What is the main purpose of the passage? A．To introduce a wonderful TV programme. B．To explain the history of Spring Festival Gala.

In New York City, there is a very special bike group. Recycle-a-Bicycle is an organization that works to educate people about bikes and the environment. It also provides job training by teaching people—especially young people—how to build bikes. In just one year, Recycle-a-Bicycle can save up to 1,200 bicycles that would otherwise end up at the dump. These bikes are refurbished, then sold, or donated to someone who needs one. People can buy refurbished bikes at the Recycle-a-Bicycle stores. Bikes that are too old to repair are broken up into parts, and the aluminum (铝) and steel is separated for recycling. This adds up to 12,000 pounds of metal recycled each year. The money raised from bike sales helps to fund Recycle-a-Bicycle’s youth and environmental programs. The programs include Bike Bonanzas, which offer free biking activities to families. Recycle-a-Bicycle also offers training courses that teach people how to build and repair bikes. Through a program offered in some schools, students have the opportunity to earn their own bicycles. Students learn how to fix old bikes. Then they can volunteer their time in exchange for a bike of their own. As well as refurbishing bikes, Recycle-a-Bicycle encourages recycled arts. They hold workshops that focus on turning old bike parts into art, crafts, and jewelry. Workshops that teach people how to maintain (保养) and repair their own bicycles are also very popular. Recycle-a-Bicycle is an organization that is working hard to educate people about both bikes and the importance of caring for the environment. 1．What does the underlined word “refurbished” mean in Paragraph 2? A．added to other items B．changed into something else C．broken up into different parts D．fixed to improve the appearance 2．According to the passage, which of the following things are done by Recycle-a-Bicycle? ①recycling not only old bikes but also arts ②donating or raising money by selling new bikes ③helping people learn more about bikes and environment ④offering jobs and courses like building and repairing bikes A．①② B．①③ C．②④ D．③④ 3．The purpose of this passage is to ________.

It also provides job training by teaching people—especially young people—how to build bikes.”和“Recycle-a-Bicycle also offers training courses that teach people how to build and repair bikes.”可知，回收自行车组织帮助人们更多地了解自行车和环境以及提供工作和课程，比如建造和修理自行车，即③④。故选D。 3．主旨大意题。通读全文并根据“Recycle-a-Bicycle is an organization that is working hard to educate people about both bikes and the importance of caring for the environment.”可知，本文主要介绍了一个特殊的自行车组织。这个组织教育人们关于自行车和环境的事情，还提供职业培训，教人们如何制造自行车。即介绍了自行车回收组织的做法和价值。故选C。 In China, more and more adults are becoming overweight. In fact,34. 8% of adults are overweight and 14. 1% are obese （肥胖的）. The number of obese people is growing faster than the number of those who are just overweight. Experts say that each year there are 5. 4% more obese adults in China. Zhang Zhongtao, who works at Beijing Friendship Hospital, said that obesity was causing big health and money problems around the world. It is now a serious public health problem in China. By the year of 2030, it is expected that China will spend about 22% of all its healthcare money on problems related to being overweight or obese. At a meeting, Zhang asked people to pay more attention to obesity and how to manage weight. He believes that the government and society do not focus enough on this problem. “We hope to work with public charities to give help to obese patients who need to lose weight medically but can’t pay for it.” he said. He also explained why people become overweight. It is mainly because they eat more energy than they run out of. In the north of China, people like to eat noodles, and in the south, they prefer rice. Both foods have carbohydrates （碳水化合物）, but eating noodles can make you gain more weight. Climate （气候） also affects people in the north. Because it’s colder, they like to eat foods with more calories, like fried chicken and chocolate, to stay warm. Obesity is a common problem and can lead to other diseases. This is why it’s so important to prevent and control obesity to help build a “Healthy China”. 1．What reasons for being overweight are true according to the passage? ①Eating too much. ②The climate in the north. ③Suffering from a disease. ④Preferring noodles to rice. ⑤Eating too late. ⑥Being in a poor sleep. A．①③④ B．②④⑥ C．①②④ D．②③⑤ 2．What can we probably infer from the passage? A．there are 5. 4% more obese children in China each year. B．Rice and fried chicken are good for keeping out of the cold completely. C．People have full understanding about the problems of being overweight. D．Overweight and obese problems may cover less than a quarter of China’s medical cost. 3．Which of the following best shows the structure of the passage? A． B． C． D． 4．What is the passage mainly about? A．You are what you eat. B．How much you spend on losing weight. C．Rising obesity rates in China need attention. D．Overweight adults like to eat more food. 【答案】1．C 2．D 3．A 4．C 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了中国成年人超重与肥胖问题的现状、成因及影响。 1．细节理解题。根据“He also explained why people become overweight. It is mainly because they eat more energy than they run out of. In the north of China, people like to eat noodles…Both foods have carbohydrates…but eating noodles can make you gain more weight. Climate also affects people in the north. Because it’s colder, they like to eat foods with more calories…”可知，导致超重的原因包括：①吃太多，②北方气候，④相比米饭更偏爱面条。故选C。 2．推理判断题。根据“…it is expected that China will spend about 22% of all its healthcare money on problems related to being overweight or obese.” 可知，预计到2030年，中国将花费约22%的医疗费用在与超重或肥胖相关的问题上。因此可以推断，超重和肥胖问题可能覆盖的医疗费用略少于四分之一。故选D。 3．篇章结构题。文章整体结构清晰：第一段提出中国成年人超重和肥胖现象日益严重；第二、三段阐述肥胖带来的健康、经济问题以及专家呼吁社会关注和提供帮助；第四段具体分析导致肥胖的原因；第五段总结并强调防控肥胖的重要性。选项A的“②③④”模式能够覆盖这“现象-影响/措施-原因-总结”的逻辑结构。故选A。 4．主旨大意题。通读全文，文章开篇即点明中国超重和肥胖成年人数量增多、增长快的现象，接着讨论了其带来的健康与经济负担、社会关注不足的现状、导致肥胖的原因，并最终呼吁防控肥胖以助力“健康中国”。全文核心是围绕中国日益增长的肥胖率及其需要引起重视这一话题展开。故选C。 After 10 years of difficult talks, nearly 200 countries agreed to a new United Nations (UN) agreement to protect the world’s oceans. The agreement has been the first of its kind in 40 years. It plans to protect 30% of the open oceans by 2030. Oceans cover about 71% of the Earth’s surface and are home to hundreds of thousands of different kinds of animals and plants. Healthy oceans are a very important part of a healthy planet. But the oceans are in trouble. Overfishing (捕捞过度) has had a terrible effect on many kinds of fish and other animals. Pollution from ships and other places has caused serious problems. In 1982, an agreement described the “high seas (公海)”, but it did not protect them. In these areas, all countries have the right to fish, send ships, and do research. The high seas cover about two-thirds of the ocean. But now people only protect 1.2% of the areas. Last December, over 110 countries agreed to protect 30% of their land and ocean areas by 2030. Without an international agreement, there was no way to make this goal meaningful for the whole ocean. The new agreement now makes this feasible. The new agreement tries to turn 30% of the high seas into protected areas by 2030. It also says that activities planned for the high seas must first be examined to see what kind of influences they might have on the ocean environment. Businesses in some countries hope to make a lot of money by getting valuable things from the bottom of the sea. Other businesses hope to find plants or animals in the ocean that could lead to new discoveries and new medicines. Many of the disagreements were about how valuable things would be shared between rich countries and poor ones. Poor countries wanted to make sure that the valuable things would help everyone, not just people in rich countries. 1．Which best describes the number of countries that agreed to the UN ocean protection agreement? A．Nearly 20 countries. B．About half of the countries. C．Most countries in the world. D．Just a few countries. 2．What does Paragraph 2 mainly show us? A．The problems oceans face. B．Some ways to protect oceans. C．Different kinds of ocean creatures. D．People’s different ideas about oceans. 3．What does the underlined word “feasible” in Paragraph 3 mean? A．Awful. B．Painful. C．Possible. D．Dangerous. 4．What can we know from the passage? A．The new agreement only tries to protect fish. B．All countries will stop fishing in the high seas. C．Valuable things from the oceans will go to rich countries. D．Many countries have paid attention to protecting the oceans. 【答案】1．C 2．A 3．C 4．D 【导语】本文介绍了联合国新达成的海洋保护协议，包括协议的背景、目标和主要内容。 1．细节理解题。根据第一段“After 10 years of difficult talks, nearly 200 countries agreed to a new United Nations (UN) agreement to protect the world’s oceans.”可知，全球近200个国家，也就是世界上大多数国家达成了该协议。故选C。 2．主旨大意题。根据第二段“Overfishing has had a terrible effect on many kinds of fish and other animals. Pollution from ships and other places has caused serious problems.”以及“But now people only protect 1.2% of the areas.”等内容，可知该段主要展示了海洋面临的过度捕捞、污染等问题，以及现有保护力度不足的现状。故选A。 3．词句猜测题。根据第三段“Without an international agreement, there was no way to make this goal meaningful for the whole ocean. The new agreement now makes this feasible.”可知，新协议让保护目标变得可行，“feasible”意为“可能的、可行的”。故选C。 4．细节理解题。根据第一段“nearly 200 countries agreed to a new United Nations (UN) agreement to protect the world’s oceans”和第三段“over 110 countries agreed to protect 30% of their land and ocean areas by 2030”等内容，可知许多国家已经关注到海洋保护问题并采取了行动。故选D。 试卷第1页，共3页 试卷第1页，共3页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
