Within 60 seconds they are dressed and rushing to a burning building. Even though they know the floors might collapse and the ceilings could fall, they still have to go inside. One wrong decision might mean death. Who would do a job like that? Ask firefighter Sam Telfer. One month ago, he signed up for the job. He used to sit in an office of a software company, but now he is trained to break into rooms full of smoke and heat and come up with a rescue strategy. “I wanted a job where I could be active, work with my hands, learn new practical skills, and face different challenges every day,” That’s quite an understatement (保守说法) to describe a career that requires you to keep a cool head while fighting against a fire. But Telfer says that flames (火焰) and nerves can be controlled in the same way: through continuous physical and mental training. Telfer was a runner in college, but now he trains his lungs for dangerous situations instead of races. He has to climb hundreds of steps while wearing 34 kilograms of gear, like oxygen tanks. He also needs to carry unconscious people to safety. No matter what he’s doing, he has to control his breathing. Panic (恐慌) will only waste his limited air supply. His survival depends on more than just being physically fit. Firefighters need a lot of mental preparation too. When they are not dealing with emergencies, they study many subjects like emergency medicine, structural design, and chemical reactions. They practice quickly assessing (评估) the changing conditions of a fire. Shifting from a software expert to a first responder was a big change for Telfer. But he says, “I have never once felt that this isn’t the right job for me.” Even though danger might be waiting every day, his body and mind are trained to stay calm, even in the middle of a fierce fire. 56．When did Sam Telfer become a firefighter? 57．Where did Telfer work before becoming a firefighter? 58．What physical training does a firefighter take? Give an example. 59．How can a firefighter survive a big fire? 【答案】 56．Telfer became a firefighter one month ago. 57．He worked in a software company. 58．Firefighters have to climb hundreds of steps while wearing 34 kilograms of gear like oxygen tanks. 59．They should be physically fit and need a lot of mental preparation. 【导语】本文讲述了消防员Sam Telfer的故事。 56．根据“Ask firefighter Sam Telfer, One month ago, he signed up for the job.”可知，他一个月之前签约成为一名消防员。故填Telfer became a firefighter one month ago. 57．根据“He used to sit in an office of a software company”可知，他曾经在一件软件公司工作。故填He worked in a software company. 58．根据“He has to climb hundreds of steps while wearing 34 kilograms of gear, like oxygen tanks.”可知，必须穿着 34 公斤重的装备例如，氧气瓶，爬上数百级台阶。故填Firefighters have to climb hundreds of steps while wearing 34 kilograms of gear like oxygen tanks. 59．根据“His survival depends on more than just being physically fit. Firefighters need a lot of mental preparation too.”可知，消防员的生存不仅仅取决于身体健康。消防员也需要做好充分的心理准备。故填They should be physically fit and need a lot of mental preparation. （二）、一般疑问句与反义疑问句： Be动词开头： 问：Is/Are/Was/Were…? 答：Yes, 代词+is/are/was/were.或No, 代词+isn’t./aren’t/ wasn’t/ weren’t. 助动词开头： 问：Do/Does/Did…? 答：Yes, 代词+do/does/did.或No, 代词+don’t/doesn’t/ didn’t. 情态动词开头：（以will和can为主） 问：Can…? 答：Yes, 代词+can./ No, 代词+can’t. 问：Will…? 答：Yes, 代词+will./ No, 代词+won’t.  【典例】 Hao Shuxin, 24, sees sign language as her mother tongue, as her parents are deaf. “I picked up sign language before I could even talk,” she recalled. In 2018, she became a sign language interpreter at a law firm in Chongqing. Her work takes her to places like courts, where she interprets for deaf people in legal cases. 49．Is Hao Shuxin a deaf person? 【答案】49．No, she isn’t. 【导语】本文主要讲述了手语译员郝舒欣在帮助聋人群体进行法律翻译工作中的挑战和努力。 49．根据“Hao Shuxin, 24, sees sign language as her mother tongue, as her parents are deaf.”和“I picked up sign language before I could even talk”可知，因为父母都是聋人，郝舒欣将手语视为自己的母语，在会说话之前就学会了手语，她自己不是聋人。故填No, she isn’t. 【典例】 In the city center, firefighters quickly get ready when they hear the alarm. Within 60 seconds they are dressed and rushing to a burning building. Even though they know the floors might collapse and the ceilings could fall, they still have to go inside. One wrong decision might mean death. 55．Firefighters have to get ready within sixty seconds after hearing the alarm, don’t they? 【答案】55．Yes, they do. 【导语】本文讲述了消防员Sam Telfer的故事。 55．根据“Within 60 seconds they are dressed and rushing to a burning building.”可知，消防员在听到警报声后，需要在60秒内准备好，故此处用肯定回答。故填Yes, they do. （三）、选择疑问句： 由选择疑问句（A or B）来提问文章的细节。（选择A或者B来回答） 【典例】…… “The cables are ropes and are wishes of safety for the fishermen off the coasts.

With each stitch (一针), more love is added to the sweater, and the knitter always knows for whom she is knitting.” I loved the way I connected stitches together, one at a time, just like what Grandma said. 64．Which patterns remind Grandma to value what she has, cables, zigzags, or diamonds? 【答案】 64．The diamonds. 【导语】本文讲述了作者小时候去祖父母家时，跟祖母学习编织毛衣的经历，以及这段经历对作者后来的深远影响。 64．根据“And then my favourite is the diamond. It tells me to treasure all in this life”可知，菱形图案让祖母珍惜她所拥有的东西。故填The diamonds. （四）、句子补全填空及开放式问题： 开放性问题往往没有唯一固定答案，所以可以尝试从不同的维度去分析作答。既要依据文章所呈现的内容，又要融入自己合理的思考。注意运用简洁且符合英语语法规范的句子来作答，避免出现表意不明、语法错误等情况，尽量让回答通俗易懂。 句子补全完整：仔细阅读题干句子，明确题目所填的核心内容，确定需要从文章哪些角度去思考和作答。比如是问对某个事件的看法、某种做法的意义，还是关于文中人物行为的启示等。回到原文中，找到与问题相关的部分，再次精读这部分内容，提取关键信息、细节以及作者的一些观点倾向等，这些都可能为自己的回答提供依据或灵感。 【典例】…… All too soon, it was time to go. I wore my sweater Grandma made me, and I gave her the scarf that I had worked so hard on. It showed how I felt about Grandma. I never saw her again. But she is with me often, not only because ________ but also because ________. Especially when I later passed her gift on to my own daughter.

In the movie, people on a desert planet wear special suits that turn sweat (汗水) into clean drinking water. Sounds like magic? In fact, in some water-short places on Earth, people recycle waste water in similar ways. Even astronauts in space recycle their water! You might think, “We have plenty of water on Earth.” But actually, clean water is limited. Some countries are developing better ways to save water. In Germany, there’s an amazing waste water reuse system. This new system separates waste water into different types. —Rainwater is collected to water the gardens. —“Gray water” from kitchen and bathroom sinks is used to flush toilets. —“Black water” from toilets is sent to a local factory to be turned into biogas (沼气). The purpose of the system is not only to reduce water use but also to provide power for local people. Perhaps more countries can follow this example. The challenge lies with old houses. Using these new systems in old buildings costs a lot. However, people once thought LED lights were expensive too. Now they’re everywhere. This time, we can make similar changes to save water. Remember, every drop counts! By using water wisely today. We can make sure there’s enough clean water for everyone tomorrow. 回答下面5个问题，每题答案不超过6个词。 1．What do people wear to get clean drinking water in the movie? 2．How many types of waste water are reused in the new system? 3．What is one of the purposes of the new system in Germany? 4．Why is it a challenge to fix new systems in old buildings? 5．What does the writer advise us to do in the last paragraph? 【答案】1．Special suits. 2．Three. 3．Reduce water use. / Provide power. 4．It costs a lot. / High cost. 5．Use water wisely. 【导语】本文主要介绍了一部科幻电影中人们通过特殊服装将汗水转化为饮用水的情况，并引出地球上清洁水资源有限的问题，进而介绍了德国的废水再利用系统及其目的，最后呼吁人们明智用水。 1．根据第一段“In the movie, people on a desert planet wear special suits that turn sweat (汗水) into clean drinking water.”可知，在电影里，沙漠星球上的人们穿着特殊服装将汗水转化为饮用水。故填Special suits. 2．根据“This new system separates waste water into different types. —Rainwater is collected to water the gardens. —‘Gray water’ from kitchen and bathroom sinks is used to flush toilets. —‘Black water’ from toilets is sent to a local factory to be turned into biogas (沼气).”可知，新系统将废水分为雨水、“灰水”（来自厨房和浴室水槽）和“黑水”（来自厕所）三种类型。故填Three. 3．根据“The purpose of the system is not only to reduce water use but also to provide power for local people.”可知，德国新系统的目的不仅是减少用水，还为当地人提供电力。故填Reduce water use. / Provide power. 4．根据“The challenge lies with old houses.

When Zhao Huan was 26 years old, he joined the army and became one of the soldiers (战士) on the top of Changbai Mountain in Jilin Province. The three-year life in the army made him really strong-willed (意志坚强的). The weather on the mountain is terrible in winter. The snow can reach as deep as 2 metres. The lowest temperature can be -40℃. There are over 200 days a year when the wind speed is nearly 12 metres per second. “It is very difficult to fall asleep with the wind outside crying like a wolf,” Zhao said. Life was hard because of the weather. When the snow cut off the roads, the soldiers needed water most. They had to heat the snow to get water to drink, cook and wash with. To save water, they only took a bath once a month. Even so, Zhao and his team did not give up. Whatever difficulties they met, they tried their best to finish their tasks. Especially when they were on duty outside in winter, snow hit their faces and they were frozen because of the low temperature. But they put their duty before anything and stood like a statue without a slight move. Zhao said, “Life is not easy on the top of Changbai Mountain. Thinking of the lights of thousands of homes, I think my efforts pay off. For me, all the difficulties can be overcome in the future.

Passage 3 （2025·江苏常州·中考真题）阅读下面短文，回答短文后的问题。(前3题每题答案不超过10个词)。 It was morning, and the new sun was shining gold across the gentle sea. A crowd of a thousand seagulls (海鸥) were fighting for bits of food. But far away from these birds, Jonathan Seagull was practicing flying alone. Most seagulls don’t trouble themselves to learn more than the simplest facts of flight—how to get food and come back. For most seagulls, it is not flying that matters, but eating. For this seagull, however, flight is much more important than eating. More than anything else, Jonathan Seagull loved to fly. This kind of thinking, he found, is not the way to make oneself popular with other birds. Even his parents were unhappy. “See here, Jonathan,” said his father not unkindly. “Winter isn’t far away. If you don’t study how to get food, you might die of hunger in the future. Flying is all very well, but you can’t eat flight, you know.” Jonathan understood what his father meant. For the next few days he tried to act like the other seagulls; he really tried, screaming and fighting with other seagulls for fish and bread. But he couldn’t make it work. “It’s all so worthless,” he thought, “I could be spending all this time learning to fly. There’s so much to learn” It wasn’t long before Jonathan Seagull was off by himself again, far out at sea, hungry, happy, learning. The subject was speed, and in a week’s practice he learned more about speed than the fastest seagull alive. 11．What did Jonathan Seagull like doing most? 12．What did Father mean by saying “you can’t eat flight”? 13．What did Jonathan think of fighting with others for food? 14．Do you think Jonathan will die of hunger finally? Why or why not? 【答案】11．He liked flying/to fly most. 12．He wished Jonathan to study how to get food/ to know the importance of food. 13．It was worthless/meaningless/not meaningful. 14．No, he won’t. He can fly fastest so he can get food faster than other seagulls./Yes, he will. Although he can fly fastest, he still doesn't know how to get food. 【导语】本文主要介绍海鸥Jonathan喜欢独自练习飞行，即使没有食物果腹，最后他学会了比其他海鸥更快的速度。 11．根据“More than anything else, Jonathan Seagull loved to fly.”可知，Jonathan最热爱飞翔，故填He liked flying/to fly most. 12．根据“If you don’t study how to get food, you might die of hunger in the future. Flying is all very well, but you can’t eat flight, you know.”可知，父亲说“you can’t eat flight”意在提醒Jonathan要先解决生存需要，即先学会如何获取食物/了解食物的重要性。故填He wished Jonathan to study how to get food/ to know the importance of food. 13．根据“It’s all so worthless”可知，他认为争抢食物毫无意义。故填It was worthless/meaningless/not meaningful. 14．本题属于开放性试题，言之有理即可。参考答案：No, he won’t. He can fly fastest so he can get food faster than other seagulls./Yes, he will. Although he can fly fastest, he still doesn’t know how to get food. Passage 4 （2025·江苏无锡·中考真题）阅读下面的短文，然后根据短文内容回答问题，每小题答案不超过8个单词。 Today, there are countless exciting ways to have fun. Every day, there seems to be something new and interesting to do. A lot of entertainment today depends heavily on modern technology. Can you imagine how people in ancient times had fun? In fact, many ancient forms of entertainment survive to this day. People have given new life to these activities, so that people of all ages can still enjoy them. Among them, flying kites is one of the most popular ones. Kites have a long history in China. According to one legend (传说), the famous Chinese thinker Mozi created a flying “wooden bird”. Later, people used bamboo to take the place of wood, and covered the bamboo frame (框架) with paper. This was the birth of “paper kite”. At first, kites were mostly used by the army. They were used to send messages and test the wind. Slowly, people used them more and more for fun. By the time of the Tang Dynasty (618-907 CE), kites became a popular toy all around China. Flying kites not only links us to our ancestors, but also gives people a way to express creativity.

Passage 5 （2025·江苏徐州·中考真题）阅读短文，回答短文后的五个问题。 Connected to history Imagine meeting a craftsman (工匠) in his eighties, who is carving dragons on copper hotpots (铜火锅). You feel like you’ve traveled back two thousand years. That’s the charm of Shanxi in Sight, a six-episode (集) documentary that was on show in March 2025 on CCTV-2. Filmed over six months, the series explores 50 historic places across Datong, Taiyuan, and Yuncheng. It follows nearly 100 local people—from craftsmen to shopkeepers. It shows a slow and thoughtful journey to the viewers. Instead of filming old buildings as cold and empty places, the team tried to show them through the eyes of local people. “We didn’t want the buildings to feel like museums,” said director Zhou Lifen. “So we chose people living in Shanxi—shopkeepers, craftsmen, farmers—whose lives are closely connected to these old buildings. Their warmth brings history to life.” In the documentary, viewers meet an artist in Datong who is making knife-cut noodles, a sculptor who has spent thirty years recreating cave figures (人物), and a craftsman who protects swans along the Yellow River. “In today’s cultural tourism, documentaries need to do more than just tell—they need to make people think,” said Zhou Lifen. Shanxi in Sight turns the province’s popularity into lasting cultural pride and excitement for travel. When a documentary helps understand the past through the warmth of common people, it produces a strong feeling that’s truly unforgettable. As one viewer wrote online, “This isn’t just a travel show—it’s a chance to feel history in daily life.” 注：每题答案不超过6个词。 20．What type of TV programme is Shanxi in Sight? 21．What kind of journey does Shanxi in Sight show? 22．How did Shanxi in Sight team show old buildings? 23．While filming Shanxi in Sight, what else did Zhou Lifen consider besides (除了) telling? 24．How will Zhou Lifen feel when she sees the underlined review in Paragraph 4? 【答案】20．Documentary. 21．A slow and thoughtful journey. 22．Through local people’s eyes. 23．Make people think. 24．Pleased/satisfied. (答案合理即可) 【导语】本文介绍了纪录片《视觉山西》的拍摄特色，通过当地人的视角让历史建筑和文化生动呈现。 20．根据“That’s the charm of Shanxi in Sight, a six-episode documentary that was on show in March 2025 on CCTV-2.”可知，《视觉山西》是一部纪录片。故填Documentary. 21．根据“It shows a slow and thoughtful journey to the viewers.”可知，纪录片展示了一段慢节奏、耐心思考的旅程。故填A slow and thoughtful journey. 22．根据“we chose people living in Shanxi—shopkeepers, craftsmen, farmers—whose lives are closely connected to these old buildings.”可知，团队通过当地人的视角展示历史建筑。故填Through local people’s eyes. 23．根据“In today’s cultural tourism, documentaries need to do more than just tell—they need to make people think.”可知，周丽芬除了讲述，还希望让观众思考。故填Make people think. 24．开放性试题，回答合理即可。根据“This isn’t just a travel show—it’s a chance to feel history in daily life.”可知，看到观众评价时，她会感到很高兴或欣慰。参考答案为Pleased/satisfied. Passage 1 （25-26九年级上·江苏南通·月考）请认真阅读下面短文，并根据短文内容回答问题。 Do you know World Wetlands Day? It falls on February 2nd every year and we welcomed the 29th World Wetlands Day in 2025, with the theme Protecting Wetlands for Our Common Future. Wetlands are areas where water covers the soil or is present either at or near the surface of the soil for different periods during the year. They are really important for a large number of reasons that you might not realize. Wetlands, along with oceans and forests, are known as the three main ecosystems of the earth. There are different types of wetlands. We have got things like rivers, ponds and lakes. And wetlands support different wildlife. As a matter of fact, 50% of the world’s plants and animals depend on wetlands. Wetlands act like sponges, soaking up (吸收) water and also carbon (碳) from the air. The plants in wetlands soak up climate-changing gases as they grow. Then when the plants die, they sink into mud, catching carbon instead of letting it all return to the air. This can help reduce the greenhouse effect. Wetlands also play an important role in the water cycle. They can store lots of water during heavy rainfall, reducing floods in downstream (下游的) areas. Then the water will flow back into rivers and streams slowly. Unfortunately, we have actually lost nearly 90% of the wetlands in the last 100 years, three times faster than forests. Do you know why? It’s things like pollution, climate change and human activities. Wetlands are important to everything, and we need to take action to protect them. 1．What are the three main ecosystems of the earth? 2．What is Paragraph 4 mainly about? 3．How do wetlands help the water cycle during heavy rainfall? 4．Why have people lost most of the wetlands in the past century? 5．What might the writer talk about next? 【答案】1．Wetlands, oceans and forests. 2．Wetlands help reduce the greenhouse effect. 3．By storing lots of water during heavy rainfall. 4．Because of pollution, climate change and human activities. 5．The protection of wetlands. 【导语】本文介绍了湿地的定义、重要生态价值，指出湿地因污染、气候变化和人类活动大幅减少，呼吁人们保护湿地。 1．第3段第1句提到“Wetlands, along with oceans and forests, are known as the three main ecosystems of the earth.”直接提取原文信息即可，注意三个名词的顺序与原文一致。 2．第4段详细介绍了“Wetlands act like sponges, soaking up ( 吸收) water and also carbon (碳) from the air.”， “Then when the plants die, they sink into mud, catching carbon instead of letting it all returning to the air”。 用简洁的语言总结段落主旨，点明湿地的核心作用——减少温室效应。 3．第5段第2句提到“They can store lots of water during heavy rainfall, reducing floods in downstream areas.直接提取关键信息：store lots of water（储存大量水）、reducing floods in downstream areas（减少下游地区的洪水），完整回答湿地在水循环中的作用。 4．第6段提到“It’s things like pollution, climate change and human activities.”直接提取三个原因，用because of连接，符合问句的提问逻辑。 5．文章结尾句“Wetlands are important to everything, and we need to take action to protect them.”提出了“需要采取行动保护湿地”的呼吁，因此下文最可能围绕保护湿地的具体方法/措施展开。 Passage 2 （25-26九年级下·江苏盐城·月考） 回答下面5个问题，每题答案不超过6个词。 A robotic dog runs around a power station to check on it. The robotic dog has two cameras. It can clearly find out what’s wrong with the power station. It is just one example of the wide use of high technology. The robotic dog needs to check a 1,100 kilometer-long power line. It is a part of a long power line. The long power line totally runs 3,284 kilometers from northwest China’s Xinjiang to the eastern province of Anhui. The “electric highway” is longer than any other power line in the world. There are not enough workers at the power station. So it is difficult to keep the power station running well. But now robots have begun to change the condition. In Xinhe, a town in Chizhou, Anhui, which is surrounded (环绕) by mountains, a white drone (无人机) began its task in the mountains. Within half an hour, it has completed its 80-kilometer checking task. The high mountains make work quite difficult and dangerous. Drones provide an effective way, thanks to their high speed. Firefighters at another power station also use a robot. The robot can help them find fires as soon as possible. In a word, robots have been used in many different fields. They can take the place of humans to do many dangerous jobs. They will certainly have more uses in the future. And we expect that human beings will invent more robots and make better use of them. 6．How many cameras does the robotic dog have? 7．Where does the long power line run from and to? 8．How long did it take the white drone to complete its 80-kilometer checking task? 9． Why are drones an effective way to work in high mountains? 10．What do you think of the robot? 【答案】6．Two. 7．From Xinjiang to Anhui. 8．Half an hour. 9．Because of their high speed. 10．Very useful.(答案不唯一，回答合理即可) 【导语】本文介绍了机器狗、无人机等机器人在电力巡检领域的应用，它们能替代人类完成危险工作，展现了高科技的实用价值。 6．文中提到“The robotic dog has two cameras”，说明机器狗有两台相机。 7．文中提到“The long power line totally runs 3,284 kilometers from northwest China’s Xinjiang to the eastern province of Anhui”，说明这条长输电线路从新疆到安徽。 8．文中提到“Within half an hour, it has completed its 80-kilometer checking task”，说明白色无人机完成任务用了半小时。 9．文中提到“Drones provide an effective way, thanks to their high speed”，说明无人机能高效工作是因为速度快。 10．结合文章对机器人的描述，可评价它是有用的等。答案不唯一，回答合理即可。 Passage 3 （25-26九年级上·江苏无锡·月考） 回答下面5个问题，每题答案不超过8个词。 Yang Chen-Ning, a physicist (物理学家) and Nobel Prize winner, died in Beijing on Oct 18 at the age of 103. He was a professor (教授) at Tsinghua University and a member of the Chinese Academy of Sciences. In 1957, Yang and his friend Tsung-Dao Lee won the Nobel Prize in physics. They discovered parity non-conservation in weak interactions (弱相互作用中宇称不守恒). This finding changed how people understood symmetry (对称性) in nature. Physics shows beauty through symmetry, while life is often full of complexity (复杂性). Yang’s life showed this truth. When he was 35, Yang became the first Chinese to win the Nobel Prize. However, during the Cold War, Yang was far away from China and could not even receive the tea his father sent him. He lived between two cultures—he was “an Eastern scientist in the West” and “a Western representative (代表) of the East”. In 1971, when the US allowed travel to China again, Yang was one of the first Chinese-American scientists to return, Xinhua reported. For years, he traveled between the two countries, giving speeches and writing to introduce China to the world. In 2003, Yang moved back to Beijing and taught physics at Tsinghua University at the age of 81. He started from basic ideas like time and light speed. Yang didn’t use PowerPoint and graded homework by hand. He also helped build a world-class research center at Tsinghua. In 2015, Yang gave up his US citizenship (公民身份). He then became a Chinese member of the Chinese Academy of Sciences in 2017. He called his home “Gui Gen Ju (归根居)”, showing his life came full circle. 11．When did Yang Chen-Ning win the Nobel Prize in physics?   12．Where did Yang teach after moving back to Beijing? 13．How do you understand the underlined sentence “Yang’s life showed this truth”? 14．Why did Yang name his home “Gui Gen Ju”? 15．What is the main idea of the passage? 【答案】11．In 1957. 12．At Tsinghua University. 13．His life was complex. 14．Showing his life came full circle. 15．Introduce Yang Chen-Ning’s life and achievements.

He was not happy with the sea food we had eaten for the last two months. Conseil agreed with him, and I asked Captain Nemo if he would put us on land for a short time. I thought he would refuse and was surprised when he agreed. We were allowed to use the boat. Captain Nemo did not come with us. We went alone. Ned was very excited. “We are going to eat meat!” he said. Half an hour of rowing brought us to the island. It was wonderful to walk on land again. Ned found some coconuts at once. We drank the milk. Then, we walked into the forest and found some breadfruit trees. Ned cooked some of the breadfruit, which tasted just like real bread. We found fruits like bananas and mangoes. Ned still wanted some meat, but it was time to go back to the Nautilus. We brought the food that we had found back with us. We returned to the island the next day and hunted birds. Ned shot two pigeons, which we cooked and ate for lunch. In the afternoon, he shot a wild pig and several smaller animals like rabbits. We sat near the boat to cook and eat them, but we were suddenly attacked. We all ran to the boat. About one hundred savages (野人) followed us into the water as we rowed away, but they could not catch us.                 Back on the Nautilus, I found Captain Nemo. He was playing his piano. I told him about the savages. “You should not be surprised that there are savages on land, Dr. Aronnax,” he said. “They may try to come onto the Nautilus,” I said. “How many are there?” “About one hundred.” “We have nothing to fear,” he replied. He turned back to his piano. I went back outside. It was dark, and I could see fires on the beach. The savages were still there. 16．Why did Ned want to go onto the island? 17．Who didn’t go onto the island with them? 18．How many times did the men go onto the island in the passage? 19．What was Nemo doing when the three friends were chased back to the Nautilus by savages? 20．How did Nemo feel when he heard about the savages on land? 【答案】16．Because he wanted to catch some animals./To catch some animals to eat. 17．Captain Nemo./Nemo. 18．Twice. 19．He was playing the piano. 20．Calm./Not surprised. 【导语】本文主要讲述了《海底两万里》中，内德、康塞尔和阿龙纳斯在尼摩船长的允许下，两次登上岛屿寻找食物、捕猎动物，后遭遇野人袭击返回鹦鹉螺号的经历。 16．文章首段“Ned wanted to go onto the island and catch some animals to eat”直接点明内德想去岛上抓些动物来吃。这是原文直接信息。 17．第一段明确指出“Captain Nemo did not come with us”。这是原文中的具体人物信息，直接提取。 18．第二段“Half an hour of rowing brought us to the island”，先描述了第一次登岛寻找食物，然后第三段提到“We returned to the island the next day and hunted birds”，答案将两次登岛行为整合为“Twice”. 19．第四段直接给出尼摩船长正在弹钢琴的信息：“Back on the Nautilus, I found Captain Nemo. He was playing his piano”。答案是原文引述。 20．第四段尼摩船长说“You should not be surprised that there are savages on land”以及第七段“We have nothing to fear”，体现出他镇定、不害怕的态度。 Passage 5 （25-26九年级上·江苏无锡·月考） 根据文本内容回答下面5个问题，第1、3、4题目不超过7个词，第2、5题不限制字数。 We do it first thing in the morning, last thing at night, and perhaps every hour in between: scrolling (刷手机). Scrolling is one of those things that 20 years ago none of us ever did, but now most of us do it hundreds of times a day. You may even be doing it now! But here’s the thing: we know it doesn’t make us happy. People prefer talking to strangers over scrolling on their phones, a study has found—but that doesn’t always mean we make the right choice. Researchers from the US wanted to compare the way people expected to feel about doing three activities, and how people actually felt after doing them. These three activities were using a smartphone, having a conversation with a stranger and sitting alone. One group of participants predicted how they would feel when doing each of these activities, giving them a score out of 100. Another group completed each activity and gave them a score out of 100 based on how positive they felt. While the researchers thought people might underestimate (低估) the positive (积极的) feelings they would get from talking to a stranger, they didn’t. People predicted this would give them the most positive feelings, and it did. Another group was given more choices about what to do on their phones: watch videos, text, or scroll social media. Or they could talk to a stranger, or sit alone. This time, watching videos was predicted to be the most positive activity, followed by talking to a stranger. However, among those who actually did it, the researchers still found that talking to a stranger was most likely to improve people’s moods (情绪). And sitting alone was always last. So will we all scroll less and talk more? 21．How does scrolling make us feel? 22．What are the three activities that researchers want to compare? 23．Which activity actually gave people the most positive feeling? 24．What was predicted to be the second most positive activity? 25．Will we scroll less and talk more? Why do you think so? 【答案】21．Unhappy. 22．Using a smartphone, having a conversation with a stranger and sitting alone. 23．Talking to a stranger./Having a conversation with a stranger. 24．Talking to a stranger. 25．Probably not. Because people nowadays depend too much on the phone. 【导语】本文介绍了一项研究：尽管人们常刷手机，但研究表明，与陌生人交谈比刷手机或独处更能提升情绪，因此建议少刷手机、多交流。 21．第二段最后一句提到人们刷手机时的感受：“we know it doesn’t make us happy”，答案使用形容词“unhappy”描述情绪。 22．第四段最后一句指出了这三项活动：“These three activities were using a smartphone, having a conversation with a stranger and sitting alone.”，答案直接从原文提取。 23．最后一段指出能给人最积极情绪的活动：“...the researchers still found that talking to a stranger was most likely to improve people’s moods (情绪)”，答案可从此句直接提取，或采用第四段最后一句提到的“having a conversation with a stranger”。 24．倒数第二段提到预测中第二积极的活动：“This time, watching videos was predicted to be the most positive activity, followed by talking to a stranger.”，答案直接从原文提取。 25．本题为开放性试题，结合文章内容和自己的看法，合理作答即可。 1. 请认真阅读下面短文，并根据短文内容回答问题。 In the digital era, our country’s Ministry of Education pays much attention to AI (artificial intelligence) education for primary and secondary school students across China. They have set up AI curriculums (课程) in different levels for them. In primary school, students can get a taste of basic AI knowledge and simple operations, like using basic AI tools. As for junior high school students, they should start to understand the principles (原理) and functions of AI more deeply and use it to solve problems in study and life. In senior high school, students are expected to carry out small-scale (范围) AI project designs and research, exploring the future of AI technology The Ministry also encourages teachers to use AI in their daily teaching activities and regular assessments (评价). A new section related to AI will be added to the national smart educational platform (平台). In this way, excellent AI resources can be collected, making it easier for students around the country to share. Nowadays AI is just like a “golden key” for the education field and offers great opportunities for both teachers and students. However, just as a coin has two sides, AI may bring certain challenges as well. More and more students use AI tools like DeepSeek, Doubao, ChatGPT to help with their work. They let AI do tasks that normally require thinking—such as analyzing data, writing essays, solving hard problems, making decisions etc. But is this a good thing? An AI design researcher warns that if students depend too much on AI to think for them, they may lose their ability of thinking independently. In conclusion, we’d rather use AI to make us think than think for us.

The “print” here means Taohuawu Woodblock New Year Prints, a special kind of nianhua, or New Year pictures. One of its inheritors (继承人), Sun Yibo, has worked on Taohuawu prints for over 20 years. “Though seen as a kind of nianhua, Taohuawu Prints not only show the traditional pictures, such as menshen (door gods), flowers and birds,” said Sun. “To keep the traditional craft alive, artists now also choose themes from popular culture, like games and films.” Such rich themes also mean difficult steps. To make a woodblock New Year picture, artists need to draw the draft (草稿), carve it on different blocks and then make the prints one by one on paper. “Each woodblock New Year picture follows the ‘one color on one carved block’ rule and is made with the colors printed on top of each other,” explained Sun. “How many blocks are needed for a picture? It depends on how many colors there are in the picture. One picture comes from at least two blocks.” However, getting the right color on the block is never easy. Sun said that when he made a woodblock New Year picture, he printed and adjusted (调节) each color block more than 100 times to get the right look. Even so, Sun and other inheritors are finding ways to pass down this traditional culture. “We have exhibitions (展览) and courses at a college in Suzhou. Students who are interested in the exhibitions can learn this skill in class,” said Sun. 6．How long has Sun Yibo worked on Taohuawu Prints? 7．What new themes do the prints now show? 8．How many steps are there in making a woodblock New Year picture? 9．Why did Sun print and adjust each color block more than 100 times? 10．According to the passage, why is Taohuawu Woodblock New Year Prints still popular today? 【答案】6．For over 20 years. 7．Themes from popular culture, like games and films. 8．Three. 9．To get the right look. 10．Because inheritors are finding ways to pass down this traditional culture through exhibitions and courses. 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了苏州桃花坞木版年画及其传承人孙逸波，描述了年画的主题、制作工艺以及传承方式。 6．根据第一段“Sun Yibo, has worked on Taohuawu prints for over 20 years”可知，孙逸波从事桃花坞年画工作已超过20年。故填For over 20 years. 7．根据第二段“To keep the traditional craft alive, artists now also choose themes from popular culture, like games and films.”可知，这些年画现在展现的新主题是来自流行文化，如游戏和电影。故填Themes from popular culture, like games and films. 8．根据第三段“To make a woodblock New Year picture, artists need to draw the draft, carve it on different blocks and then make the prints one by one on paper.”可知，制作一幅木版年画有三个步骤：画稿、分块雕刻、逐色印刷。故填Three. 9．根据第四段“he printed and adjusted each color block more than 100 times to get the right look”可知，孙逸波对每个色版印刷和调整超过100次是为了得到正确的效果（外观）。故填To get the right look. 10．根据最后一段“Sun and other inheritors are finding ways to pass down this traditional culture. ‘We have exhibitions and courses...’ ”可知，桃花坞木版年画如今仍受欢迎，是因为传承人们通过展览和课程等方式在积极传承这一传统文化。故填Because inheritors are finding ways to pass down this traditional culture through exhibitions and courses. 3. 请认真阅读下面短文，并根据短文内容回答问题。 Fengxiang clay figurines are a well-known form of traditional Chinese folk art from Fengxiang County, Shaanxi Province. With a history of thousands of years—dating back to the Neolithic Age, these vivid and colorful sculptures are not only works of art but also an important symbol of Shaanxi’s rich culture, deeply loved by people both at home and abroad. In the early days, local people used clay to make simple daily tools and objects for worship. As pottery-making skills continued to develop, the art of clay figurine-making slowly took shape. It finally reached its golden age during the Ming and Qing dynasties, becoming popular among common people and widely used in festivals, weddings and other important events to bring joy and good wishes. Their production process is complex and needs great patience. First, artisans choose high-quality local clay. Next, they knead, pound and filter it to take out impurities (杂质). Then, they shape the clay into lively forms like tigers and historical characters by hand or simple tools. After that, the shaped clay goes through natural drying and high-temperature firing. Finally, the most important step—painting—is carried out, with bold, bright colors to create strong visual contrast. These clay figurines carry deep cultural meanings. For example, tiger-shaped figurines are believed to drive off evil spirits and bring good luck to families. To protect this valuable traditional art, the local government has set up training centres to teach young people the making skills, while some young artisans are trying new things through mixing traditional styles with modern designs to attract more young people. 11．Where are Fengxiang clay figurines from? 12．When did Fengxiang clay figurines enter their golden age? 13．How many steps are required to make Fengxiang clay figurines? 14．What does the local government do to protect Fengxiang clay figurines? 15．How can you keep traditional arts like Fengxiang clay figurines alive? （自拟一句话回答） 【答案】11．Fengxiang County, Shaanxi Province. 12．During the Ming and Qing dynasties. 13．Five/5 (steps). 14．It has set up training centres to teach young people the making skills. 15．We can make them in art classes at school.

Are you thinking about your homework at the same time? If you are doing two or more things together, you are multitasking. But is that always good? You might think that multitasking saves time. For a start, you get to kill two birds with one stone. However, scientists are finding that multitasking can put us under a lot of stress and actually make us less efficient (高效的). Researchers are now trying to figure out how the brain moves attention from one subject to another. “Although doing many things at the same time can be a way of making tasks more fun and lively, you have to keep in mind that you do this at the cost of focus,” said psychiatrist (精神病专家) and author Edward M.Hallowell. However, there are examples in which multitasking can be helpful. In some cases, listening to music while doing easy homework makes some students feel more creative because they are using different ways of thinking. And people can do simple, everyday tasks together, such as walking and talking. But, once they need deeper thinking, the brain has “a serious bottleneck,” Hallowell said. Today’s technology makes us do more and more things in a shorter period of time. It is a very different world from 10 or 20 years ago, when a desk worker had a typewriter, a phone and maybe a coworker who visited the office. In the past, many people used telephones with cords (电线), which were fixed. You needed to sit down, put your feet up and chat---multitasking wasn’t allowed. Now, smartphones and PDAs (Personal Digital Assistants) give us more distractions (使分心的事). Multitasking can make things more exciting, but be careful. As Hallowell added, “Multitasking gives the illusion (幻觉) that we’re achieving things at the same time, but we’re really not. It’s like playing tennis with three balls.” 16．What is multitasking according to the passage? 17．Why does listening to music while doing easy homework make some students feel more creative? 18．Does today’s technology make people more relaxed or busier? 19．What gives us more distractions now? 20．Would you like to multitask? Why or why not? 【答案】16．Doing two or more things together. 17．Because they are using different ways of thinking. 18．Busier. 19．Smartphones and PDAs. 20． Yes. Because it can make simple tasks more fun./Yes. Because it can make things more exciting. /Yes. Because it saves a lot of time./No. Because it can put us under much stress;/Because it may make us less efficient. 【导语】本文探讨了当下流行的“多任务处理”现象，分析其可能带来的好处，如节省时间、让任务更有趣等，也提及多任务处理会给人带来压力、降低效率等弊端，还列举了多任务处理有帮助的例子，以及现代科技对人们多任务处理情况的影响，最后作者提醒人们多任务处理要小心。 16．根据 “If you are doing two or more things together, you are multitasking.” 可知，如果同时做两件或更多件事，就是在进行多任务处理。故填Doing two or more things together. 17．根据 “In some cases, listening to music while doing easy homework makes some students feel more creative because they are using different ways of thinking.” 可知，在做简单的家庭作业时听音乐会让一些学生更有创造力是因为他们使用了不同的思维方式。故填Because they are using different ways of thinking. 18．根据 “Today’s technology makes us do more and more things in a shorter period of time.” 可知，现在的科技让我们在更短的时间内做更多的事情，所以是让人们更忙了。故填Busier. 19．根据 “Now, smartphones and PDAs (Personal Digital Assistants) give us more distractions (使分心的事).” 可知，现在智能手机和个人数字助理给我们带来更多让人分心的事。故填Smartphones and PDAs. 20．本题为开放性问题，答案不唯一，结合自身喜好和理由，如认为能节省时间、让事情更有趣等合理作答表示肯定，或认为会带来压力、降低效率等合理作答表示否定即可。故填Yes. Because it can make simple tasks more fun./Yes. Because it can make things more exciting./Yes. Because it saves a lot of time./No. Because it can put us under much stress;/Because it may make us less efficient. 5. 请认真阅读下面短文，并根据短文内容回答问题。 Wendy Chen decided to challenge herself by climbing Mount Tai, a well-known mountain in eastern China. But there was one problem: she couldn’t find a friend to join her for the five-hour trip. Rather than give up her plan, the 25-year-old hired a “climbing buddy,” a young man with rich outdoor experience, to be with her and support her to the 5,000-foot peak. Known in Chinese as “pei pa”, the young Chinese join strangers on their journeys up mountains for a price. It’s becoming popular in 2025. Young, healthy and active, often college students, advertise themselves on social media platforms, with profiles showing their height, fitness level and hiking experience. They usually charge between 200 to 600 yuan per trip. During the climb, these “buddies” will do anything to push the climbers to keep going: from singing, telling jokes, playing music, verbal encouragement, going so far as carrying their bags, holding their hands, and pulling them. Chen and her climbing buddy’s journey began at around 8:00 p.m., so that she could arrive in time for the famous sunrise. After checking her fitness level, her climbing buddy planned a suitable route and carried her backpack the whole way. At the moment the sun rose, he showed Chen a national flag so that she could take a photo. Though Chen felt his photography skills still had room to improve, she regarded her climbing buddy as “satisfactory.” Chen was supposed to pay 350 yuan, but she was so pleased that she offered 50 yuan more. 注：每题答案不超过5个单词 21．What does the underlined phrase “her plan” in Paragraph 1 refer to? 22．What qualities does a “pei pa” need? 23．Why did Chen and her climbing buddy begin at 8 p.m.? 24．What was Chen dissatisfied about with her climbing buddy? 25．How much did Chen pay her climbing buddy? 【答案】21．Climbing Mount Tai. 22．Young, healthy and active. 23．To see the famous sunrise./For the famous sunrise. 24．His photography skills. 25．400 yuan./Four hundred yuan./¥400./¥Four hundred. 【导语】本文主要讲述了Wendy Chen决定挑战自己爬泰山，因找不到朋友同行而雇了“陪爬”，“陪爬”这一现象在2025年变得流行，介绍了“陪爬”的人员情况、收费标准、在爬山过程中的行为，还讲述了Chen和她的“陪爬”的爬山经历及费用支付情况。 21．根据第一段“Wendy Chen decided to challenge herself by climbing Mount Tai...Rather than give up her plan”可知，Wendy Chen决定挑战自己爬泰山，不想放弃计划，所以“her plan”指爬泰山。故填Climbing Mount Tai. 22．根据第二段“Young, healthy and active, often college students, advertise themselves on social media platforms”可知，“陪爬”需要年轻、健康且活跃。故填Young, healthy and active. 23．根据第四段“Chen and her climbing buddy’s journey began at around 8:00 p.m., so that she could arrive in time for the famous sunrise.”可知，他们晚上8点开始爬山是为了能看到著名的日出。故填To see the famous sunrise./For the famous sunrise. 24．根据第四段“Though Chen felt his photography skills still had room to improve”可知，Chen对“陪爬”的摄影技术不满意。故填His photography skills. 25．根据第四段“Chen was supposed to pay 350 yuan, but she was so pleased that she offered 50 yuan more.”可知，Chen本应支付350元，但她很高兴多给了50元，所以总共支付了400元。故填400 yuan./Four hundred yuan./¥400./¥Four hundred. 6.请认真阅读下面短文，并根据短文内容回答问题。 Whether yellow, red or white, the onion is a vegetable that you may not know well. The list of its uses in cooking is endless. People have used onions to add flavor (味道) to their foods for thousands of years. Besides onions’ great taste, they are very good for you. They have special chemicals (化学物质) that improve your ability to fight off sickness and you have fewer chances of getting a disease. No matter how good onions are for you, it is difficult to cut an onion without your eyes filling with tears! When you cut into an onion, irritating (刺激性的) chemicals inside the onion will get into the air. They touch your whole eyes and cause pain. Your eyes make tears to wash away the chemicals and protect your eyes. Luckily, cooks and scientists have discovered some ways to keep you from crying when you cut up onions: · Cut the onion under running water. The water will wash away the chemicals before they can reach your eyes. · Use a fan to blow air over the onion as you cut it. The air will blow the chemicals away from your eyes. · Put the onion in a fridge for an hour before cutting. This helps make the chemicals in the onion move slowly, so they may not ever reach your eyes. If you try out these good ideas and still cry while cutting onions, don’t worry. Scientists think if you cut more onions, your body will become more resilient to the onion’s chemicals. So the tears will not last long. If you think about how healthy onions are, you might even call those tears “happy tears”. 26．What uses of onions are mentioned in Paragraph 1? 27．Why do your eyes make tears when cutting onions? 28．How can you avoid crying when cutting up onions?

In a corn maze (玉米迷宫), people can follow miles of winding (弯曲的) paths and run into lots of dead ends before they finally find their way out. For many farmers, showing families the way out can give the farm a lot of extra money. Simple corn mazes began appearing in the 1980s. In 1993, the first big corn maze created for the public to enjoy was made in Annville, Pennsylvania, by Don Frantz! During the opening weekend, 6,000 visitors came to get lost in the maze. Charging (收费) only $5 per person, Mr. Frantz earned almost $32,000 in two weeks. The creation was named the world’s largest maze by Guinness World Records! Since then, thousands of corn mazes have been created around the world, and several have broken that record. “Corn mazes help people connect with their roots (根),” Don Frantz said. “People are so far away from farm life that they are drawn (吸引) to something real and natural.” About 30,000 visitors a year make that connection at family-owned Harvestville Farm in Donnellson, Iowa. That’s where owner Adam Hohl once got lost in his own maze as he led a family the way out. Today, Harvestville Farm’s corn maze is as big as nine football fields. Mr Hohl said, “When we see families having fun on the farm, we know that they are making memories that will last a lifetime.” 31．When did simple corn mazes appear? 32．Who made the first big corn maze? 33．How many visitors travel to Harvestville Farm every year? 34．Why are people interested in corn mazes according to Don Frantz? 35．What does Mr Hohl mean in the last paragraph? 【答案】31．In the 1980s. 32．Don Frantz. 33．About 30,000 visitors. 34．They connect with their roots. 35．Families make lasting memories there. 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了玉米迷宫的历史，起源以及人们对于玉米迷宫的喜爱的原因，同时举例介绍了Harvestville Farm的玉米迷宫的经营情况。 31．根据第二段中“Simple corn mazes began appearing in the 1980s.”可知，简单的玉米迷宫在20世纪80年代就开始出现了，故填In the 1980s. 32．根据第二段中“In 1993, the first big corn maze created for the public to enjoy was made in Annville, Pennsylvania, by Don Frantz!”可知，1993年，第一个由公众享用的大玉米迷宫由Don Frantz在安维尔制作，故填Don Frantz. 33．根据第五段中“About 30,000 visitors a year make that connection at family-owned Harvestville Farm in Donnellson, Iowa.”可知，每年约有3万名游客来到Harvestville Farm，故填About 30,000 visitors. 34．根据第四段“‘Corn mazes help people connect with their roots (根),’ Don Frantz said. ‘People are so far away from farm life that they are drawn (吸引) to something real and natural.’”可知，Don Frantz认为玉米迷宫帮助人们与他们的根相连，人们被真实和自然的东西所吸引，故填They connect with their roots. 35．根据最后一段中“When we see families having fun on the farm, we know that they are making memories that will last a lifetime.”可知，Hohl认为当看到家庭在农场里玩得很开心，就知道他们正在创造一段将持续一生的回忆，故填Families make lasting memories there. 8.请根据短文内容回答下面问题，每题答案不超过10个单词。 The air is thin and we have to rest several times on the short hike from camp. To our left, snow-covered mountains disappear into clouds that seem almost close enough to touch. On the plain in front of us, we can just make out a herd of graceful animals. This is why we’re here—to observe Tibetan antelopes (藏羚羊). Tibetan antelopes live on the plains of Xizang, Xinjiang, and Qinghai. Watching them move slowly across the green grass, I’m struck by their beauty. I’m also reminded of the danger they were in. They were once hunted for their valuable fur. My guide is Zhaxi, a villager from Changtang. He works at the Changtang National Nature Reserve. The reserve is a shelter for the animals and plants of northwestern Xizang. To Zhaxi, the land is sacred (神圣的) and protecting the wildlife is a way of life. “We’re not trying to save the animals,” he says. “Actually, we’re trying to save ourselves.” The 1980s and 1990s were bad times for the Tibetan antelope. The population dropped by more than 50 percent. Hunters shot antelopes to make profits. Their habitats became smaller as new roads and railways were built. In order to save this species from disappearing, the Chinese government placed it under national protection. Zhaxi and other volunteers watched over the antelopes day and night to keep them safe from attacks. Bridges and gates were added to let the antelopes move easily and keep them safe from cars and trains. The measures were effective. The antelope population has recovered and in June 2015, the Tibetan antelope was removed from the endangered species list. The government, however, does not plan to stop the protection programmes, since the threats to the Tibetan antelope have not yet disappeared. In the evening, I drink a cup of tea and watch the stars. I think about the antelopes and what Zhaxi told me. Much is being done to protect wildlife, but if we really want to save the planet, we must change our way of life. Only when we learn to live in harmony with nature can we stop being a threat to wildlife and to our planet. 36．Where do Tibetan antelopes live? 37．How did Zhaxi and other volunteers keep Tibetan antelopes safe from attacks? 38．When was the Tibetan antelope removed from the endangered species list? 39．Why did Tibetan antelopes’ habitats become smaller and smaller in the 1980s and 1990s? 40．What can we do to protect endangered wildlife like Tibetan antelopes? (请自拟一句话作答) 【答案】36．They live on the plains of Xizang, Xinjiang, and Qinghai. 37．They watched over them day and night. 38．In June 2015. 39．Because new roads and railways were built. 40．We should stop buying fur products and protect their homes. 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章通过作者的亲身观察和向导扎西的讲述，介绍了藏羚羊的生存现状、曾面临的濒危困境（因皮毛被猎杀、栖息地减少），以及中国政府和志愿者为保护它们所采取的措施和取得的成效，最后呼吁人类与自然和谐共处。 36．根据第二段第一句“Tibetan antelopes live on the plains of Xizang, Xinjiang, and Qinghai.”可知，藏羚羊生活在西藏、新疆和青海的平原上。故填They live on the plains of Xizang, Xinjiang, and Qinghai. 37．根据第五段第二句“Zhaxi and other volunteers watched over the antelopes day and night to keep them safe from attacks.”可知，扎西和其他志愿者通过日夜守护来保护藏羚羊免受攻击。故填They watched over them day and night. 38．根据第六段第一句“...in June 2015, the Tibetan antelope was removed from the endangered species list.”可知，藏羚羊于2015年6月从濒危物种名单中移除。故填In June 2015. 39．根据第四段最后一句“Their habitats became smaller as new roads and railways were built.”可知，藏羚羊栖息地变小是因为新公路和铁路的修建。故填Because new roads and railways were built. 40．本题为开放性问答，要求自拟一句话回答“我们能做些什么来保护像藏羚羊这样的濒危野生动物”。答案需合理可行，结合文章主题。示例：我们应该停止购买用它们皮毛制成的产品，并保护它们的自然栖息地。故填We should stop buying fur products and protect their homes. 9. 请认真阅读下面短文，并根据短文内容回答问题。 Why do people cry? Scientists say the body produces tears because it needs them. One kind of tears is for the eyes, and the other kind is for the heart. They both work as cleaners. If something else like dust (灰尘) gets into your eyes, tears also come into the eyes to clean it out. If you are hurt by something, your strong feelings produce some toxins (毒素) in your body, and at the same time, tears come out with them. If these toxins are not cleaned out of your body as soon as possible, they will do harm to the heart sooner or later. In the United States, men have heart problems more often than women do. Doctors say heart problems have something to do with the pressures (压力) of living and working now. Perhaps men suffer more from these illnesses because they do not cry enough. They need to cry more. In fact, you can find many ways of reducing the pressures to keep fit. Crying is a natural and physical one. 41．How many kinds of tears does the body usually produce? 42．What do tears do when dust gets into your eyes? 43．Will the toxins in the body do harm to the heart? 44．Why do men suffer more from heart problems than women in the US? 45．What will you do to reduce the pressures of living and working to keep fit? Give TWO examples. 【答案】41．Two kinds. 42．Clean it out / Remove the dust. 43．Yes, they will. 44．Because they do not cry enough. 45．I will listen to soft music or take up a hobby like painting or running to relax myself. 【导语】本文主要探讨了眼泪的两种功能及其对健康的影响，并指出男性因哭泣较少而更容易患心脏病。 41．根据“One kind of tears is for the eyes, and the other kind is for the heart.”可知，眼泪通常分为两种。故填Two kinds. 42．根据“If something else like dust (灰尘) gets into your eyes, tears also come into the eyes to clean it out.”可知，当灰尘进入眼睛时，眼泪会将其清理出来。故填Clean it out. / Remove the dust. 43．根据“If these toxins are not cleaned out of your body as soon as possible, they will do harm to the heart sooner or later.”可知，体内的毒素如果不及时清除，迟早会对心脏造成伤害。故填Yes, they will. 44．根据“Perhaps men suffer more from these illnesses because they do not cry enough.”可知，男性更容易患心脏病可能是因为他们哭得不够多。故填Because they do not cry enough. 45．开放性试题，答案不唯一，合理即可。参考答案为I will listen to soft music or take up a hobby like painting or running to relax myself. 10. 阅读短文，回答下面5个问题。（每题答案不超过10个词） The envelope is designed to protect letters. Did you know when and where the envelope first appeared? The history of envelopes is probably much longer than you think. It is believed the envelope first appeared in ancient China. It was used to protect royal messages. However, the early envelope was nothing like what we use today. It was made from clay and looked like a ball. After the message was put into it, the envelope would be sealed (密封). The first paper envelope appeared around 200 B．C． It was also invented by the Chinese. However, at first, people used it only to send money to each other as gifts. It was not until around the seventh century that it was used for sending messages. The design of the early paper envelope was very simple, it was just a sheet of paper folded and sealed with wax (蜡). Since the envelope was made completely by hand, it was very expensive. In the 19th century, printing and manufacturing methods improved greatly. In 1853, American inventor Russell Hawes invented an envelope maker. The machine could produce about 12,500 envelopes every day. With these improvements, the cost of envelopes went down. The design also became more complex. Today, emails have become more popular than handwritten letters. However, three billion envelopes are used around the world every year. They are still part of modern life. 46．What did the early envelope look like? 47．When did people start to use paper envelopes for sending messages? 48．Why were early paper envelopes expensive? 49．How many envelopes are now used around the world every year? 50．What do you think of envelopes in modern life? 【答案】46．It looked like a ball. 47．Around the seventh century. 48．Because they were made completely by hand. 49．Three billion. 50．They are still part of modern life. / They are useful/important/...（言之有理即可） 【导语】本文介绍了信封的起源与发展历程，从古代中国的黏土信封，到纸信封的发明与普及，再到现代的生产与使用情况，展现了它在不同时期的变化与在现代生活中仍存在的价值。 46．根据文中“it was made from clay and looked like a ball”可知，早期的信封是黏土做的，看起来像一个球。故填 It looked like a ball。 47．根据文中“It was not until around the seventh century that it was used for sending messages”可知，人们在大约7世纪开始用纸信封传递信息。故填Around the seventh century。 48．根据文中“Since the envelope was made completely by hand, it was very expensive”可知，早期纸信封昂贵的原因是它们完全由手工制作。故填Because they were made completely by hand。 49．根据文中“However, three billion envelopes are used around the world every year”可知，全球每年使用30亿个信封。故填Three billion。 50．本题为开放性问题，结合文中“They are still part of modern life”可知，信封在现代生活中仍有其作用，回答合理即可。故填They are still part of modern life. / They are useful/important/...（言之有理即可） 学科网(北京)股份有限公司 学科网(北京)股份有限公司 学科网（北京）股份有限公司1 / 3 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 专题15 阅读回答问题（复习讲义） 目 录 01 析·考情目标 02 筑·专题框架 03 攻·重难考点 真题动向 核心提炼 易错警示/技巧点拨 题型一 特殊疑问句 题型二 一般疑问句与反义疑问句 题型三 选择疑问句 题型四 句子补全填空及开放式问题 04 测·预测闯关 命题透视 主要考查学生的语篇理解、信息定位、语言转换和规范表达能力。题型形式固定，通常给出1-2篇短文（总长度400-500词），短文后设置5个问题，要求学生根据短文内容，用简洁、准确的英语回答问题，贴合江苏中考“注重基础、强调语篇应用”的命题导向。 热考角度 1. 细节信息提取（最高频） 核心考查学生从短文中快速定位、提取具体细节信息的能力，是该题型的主要考查方向，占比70%左右。问题多围绕时间、地点、人物、事件、原因、结果、数量等具体细节展开，答案可直接在短文中找到，或需进行简单提炼（如原文句子缩写、关键词提取），无需复杂推理，侧重考查信息定位的准确性。 2. 同义转换与语言表达 属于中档题核心考向，要求学生将短文中的关键信息进行同义转换（如词性转换、短语替换、句式转换），再用简洁规范的英语表达出来。常考查常见同义短语（如be good at=do well in）、时态转换、主动被动转换等，既要求信息准确，也要求语法正确、词数符合要求，避免直接抄写原文过长句子。 3. 归纳总结 侧重考查学生对短文某一段落或全文主旨、细节的归纳能力，问题多为“概括某段大意”“总结作者观点”“概括事件主要内容”等。要求学生在定位关键信息的基础上，提炼核心内容，用简洁的语言表达，不遗漏关键要点，避免冗余信息，考验学生的语言概括能力。 4. 推理判断 属于难题考向，占比10%左右，要求学生根据短文提供的信息，进行合理推理、判断，得出符合逻辑的答案，答案无法直接在短文中找到。常考查“作者的态度”“文章的隐含意义”“事件的后续发展”等，要求学生贴合原文语境，不主观臆断，推理需合理、有据可依。 5. 观点态度判断 偶尔考查，侧重考查学生对作者或文中人物观点、态度的判断，选项多为表示情感、态度的词汇（如happy、worried、supportive、critical等）。要求学生结合短文语境、语气和关键句子，分析判断作者的情感倾向，避免脱离原文进行主观判断。 …… 命题预测 1. 语篇选材贴合时代热点与本土特色 命题将持续聚焦学生校园生活、人际交往、生态环保、科技发展、传统文化等主题，同时进一步融入江苏地域特色元素（如苏州园林、南京文化、江南民俗等），语篇内容更具现实意义和教育性，贴近学生实际，既便于学生理解，也引导学生关注本土文化、传承文化自信，贴合江苏中考的育人导向。 2. 语义转换考查力度持续增强 不再局限于简单的细节提取和原文抄写，将进一步增加同义转换的考查比例，侧重考查学生的语言运用能力，要求学生熟练掌握常见同义短语、词性转换和句式转换规则，能精准、简洁地表达原文语义，避免机械答题，提升对语言应用能力的考查要求。 3. 题型难度稳中有升，侧重综合能力考查 整体难度保持稳定，基础题仍占主导，但中档题（归纳总结、同义转换）比例略有提升，难题（推理判断）的考查更灵活，不再是简单的逻辑推理，而是需要结合语篇整体语境进行综合分析，侧重考查学生的语篇理解、逻辑分析和语言表达的综合能力，不出现偏题、怪题。 4. 语篇长度和复杂度略有提升 短文总长度将逐渐向500-550词过渡，语篇结构更清晰，句式更丰富（适当增加复合句比例），但仍避免生僻词汇和复杂句式，兼顾可读性和考查性。同时，问题设置更灵活，不再局限于简单的细节提问，增加对语篇整体把握的考查，对学生的阅读速度和信息筛选能力提出更高要求。 5. 更注重答案的规范性和简洁性 命题将进一步强调答案的规范表达，严格要求词数控制、语法正确、拼写无误，同时鼓励学生用简洁、精准的语言表达，避免冗余和语法错误。对答案的评分标准将更细化，既关注信息准确性，也关注语言规范性，引导学生养成规范答题的习惯。 问题类型 考查要点与能力层次 典型设问方式（关键词） 核心答题策略、步骤与规范 备考建议与能力提升方向 1. 事实细节题 考查能力：信息定位与直接提取。 要点：答案通常是文章中的原词、原句或稍加改动。 • What did the writer do at the beginning? • When/Where did the story happen? • Who helped the boy? • How many people are there in the club? 策略：定位-提取-转述。 步骤：1) 审清题干：抓住疑问词（what, who, when等）和关键名词；2) 原文定位：快速扫读，找到包含答案信息的句子；3) 提取/转述：直接摘取原词原句，或根据要求进行简单的人称、时态转换（如将文中的“I”转为“The writer”）；4) 检查语法：确保答句主谓一致、时态正确。 训练：强化快速扫读和精准定位的训练。 习惯：练习用不同句式（如将宾语从句转为直接回答）转述原文信息。 2. 原因/目的题 考查能力：信息间的逻辑关系理解。 要点：寻找表示因果（because, since, so, reason）、目的（to do, in order to, so that）的标志词或逻辑关系。 • Why did the character refuse the offer? • What was the purpose of the activity? • For what reason did they decide to leave? 策略：寻找逻辑标志，进行因果推断。 步骤：1) 定位相关句：找到题干事件或行为所在的句子；2) 寻找逻辑线索：在该句前后寻找直接的原因、目的表达（如because从句，不定式表目的）；3) 组织答案：用“Because...”、“To...”、“In order to...”等结构引出答案，注意保持时态一致。 梳理：熟练掌握表达因果、目的的各类词汇和句型。 分析：在阅读中刻意分析事件间的因果关系。 3. 推理判断题 考查能力：深层理解与逻辑推断。 要点：答案不能直接抄原文，需基于文章线索进行合理推导。 • What can we infer from the last paragraph? • What is the author’s attitude towards...? • What will probably happen next? • What does the writer think of...? 策略：立足文本，合理推导。 步骤：1) 确定推断依据：精读与问题相关的段落，抓住描述情感、观点、趋势的关键词（形容词、副词、情态动词）； 2) 进行逻辑推导：结合常识，但严格以文章信息为唯一依据； 3) 组织语言：用“The writer thinks/believes that...”、“It suggests that...”、“Probably, ... will...”等句式清晰表达推断结果。 思维：培养深度阅读和批判性思维习惯。 练习：多进行“读后推断”的练习，并说明推断依据。 4. 主旨/含义题 考查能力：整体概括与抽象提炼。 要点：需要综合全文或指定段落，提炼中心思想、标题、寓意或词语在文中的特定含义。 • What is the main idea of the passage/paragraph? • What does the underlined word “...” refer to in the passage? • What can we learn from the story? • What is the best title for the passage? 策略：把握结构，归纳总结。 步骤：1) 划定范围：明确问题是关于全文还是某一段；2) 寻找核心：关注首尾段、主题句、反复出现的概念；3) 概括归纳：用自己的话进行简洁、全面的概括，避免细节；4) 指代题：遵循“就近向前原则”，在前文中寻找所指代的名词或内容。 训练：练习写段落摘要和文章标题。 阅读：养成读完文章后自问“主旨是什么”的习惯。 （一）、特殊疑问句： 1.

Within 60 seconds they are dressed and rushing to a burning building. Even though they know the floors might collapse and the ceilings could fall, they still have to go inside. One wrong decision might mean death. Who would do a job like that? Ask firefighter Sam Telfer. One month ago, he signed up for the job. He used to sit in an office of a software company, but now he is trained to break into rooms full of smoke and heat and come up with a rescue strategy. “I wanted a job where I could be active, work with my hands, learn new practical skills, and face different challenges every day,” That’s quite an understatement (保守说法) to describe a career that requires you to keep a cool head while fighting against a fire. But Telfer says that flames (火焰) and nerves can be controlled in the same way: through continuous physical and mental training. Telfer was a runner in college, but now he trains his lungs for dangerous situations instead of races. He has to climb hundreds of steps while wearing 34 kilograms of gear, like oxygen tanks. He also needs to carry unconscious people to safety. No matter what he’s doing, he has to control his breathing. Panic (恐慌) will only waste his limited air supply. His survival depends on more than just being physically fit. Firefighters need a lot of mental preparation too. When they are not dealing with emergencies, they study many subjects like emergency medicine, structural design, and chemical reactions. They practice quickly assessing (评估) the changing conditions of a fire. Shifting from a software expert to a first responder was a big change for Telfer. But he says, “I have never once felt that this isn’t the right job for me.” Even though danger might be waiting every day, his body and mind are trained to stay calm, even in the middle of a fierce fire. 56．When did Sam Telfer become a firefighter? 57．Where did Telfer work before becoming a firefighter? 58．What physical training does a firefighter take? Give an example. 59．How can a firefighter survive a big fire? （二）、一般疑问句与反义疑问句： Be动词开头： 问：Is/Are/Was/Were…? 答：Yes, 代词+is/are/was/were.或No, 代词+isn’t./aren’t/ wasn’t/ weren’t. 助动词开头： 问：Do/Does/Did…? 答：Yes, 代词+do/does/did.或No, 代词+don’t/doesn’t/ didn’t. 情态动词开头：（以will和can为主） 问：Can…? 答：Yes, 代词+can./ No, 代词+can’t. 问：Will…? 答：Yes, 代词+will./ No, 代词+won’t.  【典例】 Hao Shuxin, 24, sees sign language as her mother tongue, as her parents are deaf. “I picked up sign language before I could even talk,” she recalled. In 2018, she became a sign language interpreter at a law firm in Chongqing. Her work takes her to places like courts, where she interprets for deaf people in legal cases. 49．Is Hao Shuxin a deaf person? 【典例】 In the city center, firefighters quickly get ready when they hear the alarm. Within 60 seconds they are dressed and rushing to a burning building. Even though they know the floors might collapse and the ceilings could fall, they still have to go inside.

These zigzags remind me of the cliff paths I hope you’ll walk with me and pick flowers along the way. And then my favourite is the diamond. It tells me to treasure all in this life. With each stitch (一针), more love is added to the sweater, and the knitter always knows for whom she is knitting.” I loved the way I connected stitches together, one at a time, just like what Grandma said. 64．Which patterns remind Grandma to value what she has, cables, zigzags, or diamonds? （四）、句子补全填空及开放式问题： 开放性问题往往没有唯一固定答案，所以可以尝试从不同的维度去分析作答。既要依据文章所呈现的内容，又要融入自己合理的思考。注意运用简洁且符合英语语法规范的句子来作答，避免出现表意不明、语法错误等情况，尽量让回答通俗易懂。 句子补全完整：仔细阅读题干句子，明确题目所填的核心内容，确定需要从文章哪些角度去思考和作答。比如是问对某个事件的看法、某种做法的意义，还是关于文中人物行为的启示等。回到原文中，找到与问题相关的部分，再次精读这部分内容，提取关键信息、细节以及作者的一些观点倾向等，这些都可能为自己的回答提供依据或灵感。 【典例】…… All too soon, it was time to go. I wore my sweater Grandma made me, and I gave her the scarf that I had worked so hard on. It showed how I felt about Grandma. I never saw her again. But she is with me often, not only because ________ but also because ________. Especially when I later passed her gift on to my own daughter.

In the movie, people on a desert planet wear special suits that turn sweat (汗水) into clean drinking water. Sounds like magic? In fact, in some water-short places on Earth, people recycle waste water in similar ways. Even astronauts in space recycle their water! You might think, “We have plenty of water on Earth.” But actually, clean water is limited. Some countries are developing better ways to save water. In Germany, there’s an amazing waste water reuse system. This new system separates waste water into different types. —Rainwater is collected to water the gardens. —“Gray water” from kitchen and bathroom sinks is used to flush toilets. —“Black water” from toilets is sent to a local factory to be turned into biogas (沼气). The purpose of the system is not only to reduce water use but also to provide power for local people. Perhaps more countries can follow this example. The challenge lies with old houses. Using these new systems in old buildings costs a lot. However, people once thought LED lights were expensive too. Now they’re everywhere. This time, we can make similar changes to save water. Remember, every drop counts! By using water wisely today. We can make sure there’s enough clean water for everyone tomorrow. 回答下面5个问题，每题答案不超过6个词。 1．What do people wear to get clean drinking water in the movie? 2．How many types of waste water are reused in the new system? 3．What is one of the purposes of the new system in Germany? 4．Why is it a challenge to fix new systems in old buildings? 5．What does the writer advise us to do in the last paragraph? Passage 2 （2025·江苏淮安·中考真题）根据短文内容，回答问题。（每题答案不超过8个词） These years, many college students choose to join the army (军队) after graduation. Zhao Huan is one of them. When Zhao Huan was 26 years old, he joined the army and became one of the soldiers (战士) on the top of Changbai Mountain in Jilin Province. The three-year life in the army made him really strong-willed (意志坚强的). The weather on the mountain is terrible in winter. The snow can reach as deep as 2 metres. The lowest temperature can be -40℃. There are over 200 days a year when the wind speed is nearly 12 metres per second. “It is very difficult to fall asleep with the wind outside crying like a wolf,” Zhao said. Life was hard because of the weather. When the snow cut off the roads, the soldiers needed water most. They had to heat the snow to get water to drink, cook and wash with. To save water, they only took a bath once a month. Even so, Zhao and his team did not give up. Whatever difficulties they met, they tried their best to finish their tasks. Especially when they were on duty outside in winter, snow hit their faces and they were frozen because of the low temperature. But they put their duty before anything and stood like a statue without a slight move. Zhao said, “Life is not easy on the top of Changbai Mountain. Thinking of the lights of thousands of homes, I think my efforts pay off. For me, all the difficulties can be overcome in the future. The experience of being a soldier here really means a lot to me.” 6．How old was Zhao Huan when he joined the army? 7．How is the weather on the mountain in winter? 8．What did the soldiers need most when the snow cut off the roads? 9．Did Zhao and his team give up when they met difficulties? 10．Why did Zhao say that the experience meant a lot to him? Passage 3 （2025·江苏常州·中考真题）阅读下面短文，回答短文后的问题。(前3题每题答案不超过10个词)。 It was morning, and the new sun was shining gold across the gentle sea. A crowd of a thousand seagulls (海鸥) were fighting for bits of food. But far away from these birds, Jonathan Seagull was practicing flying alone. Most seagulls don’t trouble themselves to learn more than the simplest facts of flight—how to get food and come back. For most seagulls, it is not flying that matters, but eating. For this seagull, however, flight is much more important than eating. More than anything else, Jonathan Seagull loved to fly. This kind of thinking, he found, is not the way to make oneself popular with other birds. Even his parents were unhappy. “See here, Jonathan,” said his father not unkindly. “Winter isn’t far away. If you don’t study how to get food, you might die of hunger in the future. Flying is all very well, but you can’t eat flight, you know.” Jonathan understood what his father meant. For the next few days he tried to act like the other seagulls; he really tried, screaming and fighting with other seagulls for fish and bread. But he couldn’t make it work. “It’s all so worthless,” he thought, “I could be spending all this time learning to fly. There’s so much to learn” It wasn’t long before Jonathan Seagull was off by himself again, far out at sea, hungry, happy, learning. The subject was speed, and in a week’s practice he learned more about speed than the fastest seagull alive. 11．What did Jonathan Seagull like doing most? 12．What did Father mean by saying “you can’t eat flight”? 13．What did Jonathan think of fighting with others for food? 14．Do you think Jonathan will die of hunger finally? Why or why not? Passage 4 （2025·江苏无锡·中考真题）阅读下面的短文，然后根据短文内容回答问题，每小题答案不超过8个单词。 Today, there are countless exciting ways to have fun. Every day, there seems to be something new and interesting to do. A lot of entertainment today depends heavily on modern technology. Can you imagine how people in ancient times had fun? In fact, many ancient forms of entertainment survive to this day. People have given new life to these activities, so that people of all ages can still enjoy them. Among them, flying kites is one of the most popular ones. Kites have a long history in China. According to one legend (传说), the famous Chinese thinker Mozi created a flying “wooden bird”. Later, people used bamboo to take the place of wood, and covered the bamboo frame (框架) with paper. This was the birth of “paper kite”. At first, kites were mostly used by the army. They were used to send messages and test the wind. Slowly, people used them more and more for fun. By the time of the Tang Dynasty (618-907 CE), kites became a popular toy all around China. Flying kites not only links us to our ancestors, but also gives people a way to express creativity. Every year, kite fliers from all over the world come to the Weifang International Kite Festival in Shandong Province’s Weifang City. The city has been known as the “kite capital of the world”. During the festival, thousands of kites fill the sky. There are both traditional kites like birds and fish, and modern ones like TV and comic characters. Some kites can be over 200 metres long. They fly into the sky in the shape of dragons, spaceships and even high-speed trains. 15．Who made the first kite according to one legend? 16．What were paper kites made of? 17．What did people use kites to do at first? 18．What is Weifang City known as? 19．What do you think has brought the changes to the kites’ shape? Passage 5 （2025·江苏徐州·中考真题）阅读短文，回答短文后的五个问题。 Connected to history Imagine meeting a craftsman (工匠) in his eighties, who is carving dragons on copper hotpots (铜火锅). You feel like you’ve traveled back two thousand years. That’s the charm of Shanxi in Sight, a six-episode (集) documentary that was on show in March 2025 on CCTV-2. Filmed over six months, the series explores 50 historic places across Datong, Taiyuan, and Yuncheng. It follows nearly 100 local people—from craftsmen to shopkeepers. It shows a slow and thoughtful journey to the viewers. Instead of filming old buildings as cold and empty places, the team tried to show them through the eyes of local people. “We didn’t want the buildings to feel like museums,” said director Zhou Lifen. “So we chose people living in Shanxi—shopkeepers, craftsmen, farmers—whose lives are closely connected to these old buildings. Their warmth brings history to life.” In the documentary, viewers meet an artist in Datong who is making knife-cut noodles, a sculptor who has spent thirty years recreating cave figures (人物), and a craftsman who protects swans along the Yellow River. “In today’s cultural tourism, documentaries need to do more than just tell—they need to make people think,” said Zhou Lifen. Shanxi in Sight turns the province’s popularity into lasting cultural pride and excitement for travel. When a documentary helps understand the past through the warmth of common people, it produces a strong feeling that’s truly unforgettable. As one viewer wrote online, “This isn’t just a travel show—it’s a chance to feel history in daily life.” 注：每题答案不超过6个词。 20．What type of TV programme is Shanxi in Sight? 21．What kind of journey does Shanxi in Sight show? 22．How did Shanxi in Sight team show old buildings? 23．While filming Shanxi in Sight, what else did Zhou Lifen consider besides (除了) telling? 24．How will Zhou Lifen feel when she sees the underlined review in Paragraph 4? Passage 1 （25-26九年级上·江苏南通·月考）请认真阅读下面短文，并根据短文内容回答问题。 Do you know World Wetlands Day? It falls on February 2nd every year and we welcomed the 29th World Wetlands Day in 2025, with the theme Protecting Wetlands for Our Common Future. Wetlands are areas where water covers the soil or is present either at or near the surface of the soil for different periods during the year. They are really important for a large number of reasons that you might not realize. Wetlands, along with oceans and forests, are known as the three main ecosystems of the earth. There are different types of wetlands. We have got things like rivers, ponds and lakes. And wetlands support different wildlife. As a matter of fact, 50% of the world’s plants and animals depend on wetlands. Wetlands act like sponges, soaking up (吸收) water and also carbon (碳) from the air. The plants in wetlands soak up climate-changing gases as they grow. Then when the plants die, they sink into mud, catching carbon instead of letting it all return to the air. This can help reduce the greenhouse effect. Wetlands also play an important role in the water cycle. They can store lots of water during heavy rainfall, reducing floods in downstream (下游的) areas. Then the water will flow back into rivers and streams slowly. Unfortunately, we have actually lost nearly 90% of the wetlands in the last 100 years, three times faster than forests. Do you know why? It’s things like pollution, climate change and human activities. Wetlands are important to everything, and we need to take action to protect them. 1．What are the three main ecosystems of the earth? 2．What is Paragraph 4 mainly about? 3．How do wetlands help the water cycle during heavy rainfall? 4．Why have people lost most of the wetlands in the past century? 5．What might the writer talk about next? Passage 2 （25-26九年级下·江苏盐城·月考） 回答下面5个问题，每题答案不超过6个词。 A robotic dog runs around a power station to check on it. The robotic dog has two cameras. It can clearly find out what’s wrong with the power station. It is just one example of the wide use of high technology. The robotic dog needs to check a 1,100 kilometer-long power line. It is a part of a long power line. The long power line totally runs 3,284 kilometers from northwest China’s Xinjiang to the eastern province of Anhui. The “electric highway” is longer than any other power line in the world. There are not enough workers at the power station. So it is difficult to keep the power station running well. But now robots have begun to change the condition. In Xinhe, a town in Chizhou, Anhui, which is surrounded (环绕) by mountains, a white drone (无人机) began its task in the mountains. Within half an hour, it has completed its 80-kilometer checking task. The high mountains make work quite difficult and dangerous. Drones provide an effective way, thanks to their high speed. Firefighters at another power station also use a robot. The robot can help them find fires as soon as possible. In a word, robots have been used in many different fields. They can take the place of humans to do many dangerous jobs. They will certainly have more uses in the future.

He was a professor (教授) at Tsinghua University and a member of the Chinese Academy of Sciences. In 1957, Yang and his friend Tsung-Dao Lee won the Nobel Prize in physics. They discovered parity non-conservation in weak interactions (弱相互作用中宇称不守恒). This finding changed how people understood symmetry (对称性) in nature. Physics shows beauty through symmetry, while life is often full of complexity (复杂性). Yang’s life showed this truth. When he was 35, Yang became the first Chinese to win the Nobel Prize. However, during the Cold War, Yang was far away from China and could not even receive the tea his father sent him. He lived between two cultures—he was “an Eastern scientist in the West” and “a Western representative (代表) of the East”. In 1971, when the US allowed travel to China again, Yang was one of the first Chinese-American scientists to return, Xinhua reported. For years, he traveled between the two countries, giving speeches and writing to introduce China to the world. In 2003, Yang moved back to Beijing and taught physics at Tsinghua University at the age of 81. He started from basic ideas like time and light speed. Yang didn’t use PowerPoint and graded homework by hand. He also helped build a world-class research center at Tsinghua. In 2015, Yang gave up his US citizenship (公民身份). He then became a Chinese member of the Chinese Academy of Sciences in 2017. He called his home “Gui Gen Ju (归根居)”, showing his life came full circle. 11．When did Yang Chen-Ning win the Nobel Prize in physics?   12．Where did Yang teach after moving back to Beijing? 13．How do you understand the underlined sentence “Yang’s life showed this truth”? 14．Why did Yang name his home “Gui Gen Ju”? 15．What is the main idea of the passage? Passage 4 （25-26九年级上·江苏无锡·月考）每题答案不超过7个单词。 Ned wanted to go onto the island and catch some animals to eat. He was not happy with the sea food we had eaten for the last two months. Conseil agreed with him, and I asked Captain Nemo if he would put us on land for a short time. I thought he would refuse and was surprised when he agreed. We were allowed to use the boat. Captain Nemo did not come with us. We went alone. Ned was very excited. “We are going to eat meat!” he said. Half an hour of rowing brought us to the island. It was wonderful to walk on land again. Ned found some coconuts at once. We drank the milk. Then, we walked into the forest and found some breadfruit trees. Ned cooked some of the breadfruit, which tasted just like real bread. We found fruits like bananas and mangoes. Ned still wanted some meat, but it was time to go back to the Nautilus. We brought the food that we had found back with us. We returned to the island the next day and hunted birds. Ned shot two pigeons, which we cooked and ate for lunch. In the afternoon, he shot a wild pig and several smaller animals like rabbits. We sat near the boat to cook and eat them, but we were suddenly attacked. We all ran to the boat. About one hundred savages (野人) followed us into the water as we rowed away, but they could not catch us.                 Back on the Nautilus, I found Captain Nemo. He was playing his piano. I told him about the savages. “You should not be surprised that there are savages on land, Dr. Aronnax,” he said. “They may try to come onto the Nautilus,” I said. “How many are there?” “About one hundred.” “We have nothing to fear,” he replied. He turned back to his piano. I went back outside. It was dark, and I could see fires on the beach. The savages were still there. 16．Why did Ned want to go onto the island? 17．Who didn’t go onto the island with them? 18．How many times did the men go onto the island in the passage? 19．What was Nemo doing when the three friends were chased back to the Nautilus by savages? 20．How did Nemo feel when he heard about the savages on land? Passage 5 （25-26九年级上·江苏无锡·月考） 根据文本内容回答下面5个问题，第1、3、4题目不超过7个词，第2、5题不限制字数。 We do it first thing in the morning, last thing at night, and perhaps every hour in between: scrolling (刷手机). Scrolling is one of those things that 20 years ago none of us ever did, but now most of us do it hundreds of times a day. You may even be doing it now! But here’s the thing: we know it doesn’t make us happy. People prefer talking to strangers over scrolling on their phones, a study has found—but that doesn’t always mean we make the right choice. Researchers from the US wanted to compare the way people expected to feel about doing three activities, and how people actually felt after doing them. These three activities were using a smartphone, having a conversation with a stranger and sitting alone. One group of participants predicted how they would feel when doing each of these activities, giving them a score out of 100. Another group completed each activity and gave them a score out of 100 based on how positive they felt. While the researchers thought people might underestimate (低估) the positive (积极的) feelings they would get from talking to a stranger, they didn’t. People predicted this would give them the most positive feelings, and it did. Another group was given more choices about what to do on their phones: watch videos, text, or scroll social media. Or they could talk to a stranger, or sit alone. This time, watching videos was predicted to be the most positive activity, followed by talking to a stranger. However, among those who actually did it, the researchers still found that talking to a stranger was most likely to improve people’s moods (情绪). And sitting alone was always last. So will we all scroll less and talk more? 21．How does scrolling make us feel? 22．What are the three activities that researchers want to compare? 23．Which activity actually gave people the most positive feeling? 24．What was predicted to be the second most positive activity? 25．Will we scroll less and talk more? Why do you think so? 1. 请认真阅读下面短文，并根据短文内容回答问题。 In the digital era, our country’s Ministry of Education pays much attention to AI (artificial intelligence) education for primary and secondary school students across China. They have set up AI curriculums (课程) in different levels for them. In primary school, students can get a taste of basic AI knowledge and simple operations, like using basic AI tools. As for junior high school students, they should start to understand the principles (原理) and functions of AI more deeply and use it to solve problems in study and life. In senior high school, students are expected to carry out small-scale (范围) AI project designs and research, exploring the future of AI technology The Ministry also encourages teachers to use AI in their daily teaching activities and regular assessments (评价). A new section related to AI will be added to the national smart educational platform (平台). In this way, excellent AI resources can be collected, making it easier for students around the country to share. Nowadays AI is just like a “golden key” for the education field and offers great opportunities for both teachers and students. However, just as a coin has two sides, AI may bring certain challenges as well. More and more students use AI tools like DeepSeek, Doubao, ChatGPT to help with their work. They let AI do tasks that normally require thinking—such as analyzing data, writing essays, solving hard problems, making decisions etc. But is this a good thing? An AI design researcher warns that if students depend too much on AI to think for them, they may lose their ability of thinking independently. In conclusion, we’d rather use AI to make us think than think for us. Please think twice while using AI. 请将答案写在答题卡上。 1．How many levels do school AI curriculums have? 2．What are teachers encouraged to do by the Ministry of Education? 3．Why will excellent AI resources be collected on the national smart educational platform? 4．What will happen to the students who depend too much on AI to think for them? 5．What do you think is a wise way for students to use AI tools for study?

The “print” here means Taohuawu Woodblock New Year Prints, a special kind of nianhua, or New Year pictures. One of its inheritors (继承人), Sun Yibo, has worked on Taohuawu prints for over 20 years. “Though seen as a kind of nianhua, Taohuawu Prints not only show the traditional pictures, such as menshen (door gods), flowers and birds,” said Sun. “To keep the traditional craft alive, artists now also choose themes from popular culture, like games and films.” Such rich themes also mean difficult steps. To make a woodblock New Year picture, artists need to draw the draft (草稿), carve it on different blocks and then make the prints one by one on paper. “Each woodblock New Year picture follows the ‘one color on one carved block’ rule and is made with the colors printed on top of each other,” explained Sun. “How many blocks are needed for a picture? It depends on how many colors there are in the picture. One picture comes from at least two blocks.” However, getting the right color on the block is never easy. Sun said that when he made a woodblock New Year picture, he printed and adjusted (调节) each color block more than 100 times to get the right look. Even so, Sun and other inheritors are finding ways to pass down this traditional culture. “We have exhibitions (展览) and courses at a college in Suzhou. Students who are interested in the exhibitions can learn this skill in class,” said Sun. 6．How long has Sun Yibo worked on Taohuawu Prints? 7．What new themes do the prints now show? 8．How many steps are there in making a woodblock New Year picture? 9．Why did Sun print and adjust each color block more than 100 times? 10．According to the passage, why is Taohuawu Woodblock New Year Prints still popular today? 3. 请认真阅读下面短文，并根据短文内容回答问题。 Fengxiang clay figurines are a well-known form of traditional Chinese folk art from Fengxiang County, Shaanxi Province. With a history of thousands of years—dating back to the Neolithic Age, these vivid and colorful sculptures are not only works of art but also an important symbol of Shaanxi’s rich culture, deeply loved by people both at home and abroad. In the early days, local people used clay to make simple daily tools and objects for worship. As pottery-making skills continued to develop, the art of clay figurine-making slowly took shape. It finally reached its golden age during the Ming and Qing dynasties, becoming popular among common people and widely used in festivals, weddings and other important events to bring joy and good wishes. Their production process is complex and needs great patience. First, artisans choose high-quality local clay. Next, they knead, pound and filter it to take out impurities (杂质). Then, they shape the clay into lively forms like tigers and historical characters by hand or simple tools. After that, the shaped clay goes through natural drying and high-temperature firing. Finally, the most important step—painting—is carried out, with bold, bright colors to create strong visual contrast. These clay figurines carry deep cultural meanings. For example, tiger-shaped figurines are believed to drive off evil spirits and bring good luck to families. To protect this valuable traditional art, the local government has set up training centres to teach young people the making skills, while some young artisans are trying new things through mixing traditional styles with modern designs to attract more young people. 11．Where are Fengxiang clay figurines from? 12．When did Fengxiang clay figurines enter their golden age? 13．How many steps are required to make Fengxiang clay figurines? 14．What does the local government do to protect Fengxiang clay figurines? 15．How can you keep traditional arts like Fengxiang clay figurines alive? （自拟一句话回答） 4.根据短文内容回答问题 (每小题答案不超过10个单词)。 Are you listening to music or eating a snack while you read this? Are you thinking about your homework at the same time? If you are doing two or more things together, you are multitasking. But is that always good? You might think that multitasking saves time. For a start, you get to kill two birds with one stone. However, scientists are finding that multitasking can put us under a lot of stress and actually make us less efficient (高效的). Researchers are now trying to figure out how the brain moves attention from one subject to another. “Although doing many things at the same time can be a way of making tasks more fun and lively, you have to keep in mind that you do this at the cost of focus,” said psychiatrist (精神病专家) and author Edward M.Hallowell. However, there are examples in which multitasking can be helpful. In some cases, listening to music while doing easy homework makes some students feel more creative because they are using different ways of thinking. And people can do simple, everyday tasks together, such as walking and talking. But, once they need deeper thinking, the brain has “a serious bottleneck,” Hallowell said. Today’s technology makes us do more and more things in a shorter period of time. It is a very different world from 10 or 20 years ago, when a desk worker had a typewriter, a phone and maybe a coworker who visited the office. In the past, many people used telephones with cords (电线), which were fixed. You needed to sit down, put your feet up and chat---multitasking wasn’t allowed. Now, smartphones and PDAs (Personal Digital Assistants) give us more distractions (使分心的事). Multitasking can make things more exciting, but be careful. As Hallowell added, “Multitasking gives the illusion (幻觉) that we’re achieving things at the same time, but we’re really not. It’s like playing tennis with three balls.” 16．What is multitasking according to the passage? 17．Why does listening to music while doing easy homework make some students feel more creative? 18．Does today’s technology make people more relaxed or busier? 19．What gives us more distractions now? 20．Would you like to multitask? Why or why not? 5. 请认真阅读下面短文，并根据短文内容回答问题。 Wendy Chen decided to challenge herself by climbing Mount Tai, a well-known mountain in eastern China. But there was one problem: she couldn’t find a friend to join her for the five-hour trip. Rather than give up her plan, the 25-year-old hired a “climbing buddy,” a young man with rich outdoor experience, to be with her and support her to the 5,000-foot peak. Known in Chinese as “pei pa”, the young Chinese join strangers on their journeys up mountains for a price. It’s becoming popular in 2025. Young, healthy and active, often college students, advertise themselves on social media platforms, with profiles showing their height, fitness level and hiking experience. They usually charge between 200 to 600 yuan per trip. During the climb, these “buddies” will do anything to push the climbers to keep going: from singing, telling jokes, playing music, verbal encouragement, going so far as carrying their bags, holding their hands, and pulling them. Chen and her climbing buddy’s journey began at around 8:00 p.m., so that she could arrive in time for the famous sunrise. After checking her fitness level, her climbing buddy planned a suitable route and carried her backpack the whole way. At the moment the sun rose, he showed Chen a national flag so that she could take a photo. Though Chen felt his photography skills still had room to improve, she regarded her climbing buddy as “satisfactory.” Chen was supposed to pay 350 yuan, but she was so pleased that she offered 50 yuan more. 注：每题答案不超过5个单词 21．What does the underlined phrase “her plan” in Paragraph 1 refer to? 22．What qualities does a “pei pa” need? 23．Why did Chen and her climbing buddy begin at 8 p.m.? 24．What was Chen dissatisfied about with her climbing buddy? 25．How much did Chen pay her climbing buddy? 6.请认真阅读下面短文，并根据短文内容回答问题。 Whether yellow, red or white, the onion is a vegetable that you may not know well. The list of its uses in cooking is endless. People have used onions to add flavor (味道) to their foods for thousands of years. Besides onions’ great taste, they are very good for you. They have special chemicals (化学物质) that improve your ability to fight off sickness and you have fewer chances of getting a disease. No matter how good onions are for you, it is difficult to cut an onion without your eyes filling with tears! When you cut into an onion, irritating (刺激性的) chemicals inside the onion will get into the air. They touch your whole eyes and cause pain. Your eyes make tears to wash away the chemicals and protect your eyes. Luckily, cooks and scientists have discovered some ways to keep you from crying when you cut up onions: · Cut the onion under running water. The water will wash away the chemicals before they can reach your eyes. · Use a fan to blow air over the onion as you cut it. The air will blow the chemicals away from your eyes. · Put the onion in a fridge for an hour before cutting. This helps make the chemicals in the onion move slowly, so they may not ever reach your eyes. If you try out these good ideas and still cry while cutting onions, don’t worry. Scientists think if you cut more onions, your body will become more resilient to the onion’s chemicals. So the tears will not last long. If you think about how healthy onions are, you might even call those tears “happy tears”. 26．What uses of onions are mentioned in Paragraph 1? 27．Why do your eyes make tears when cutting onions? 28．How can you avoid crying when cutting up onions? (Write one way) 29．In which part of a magazine can you probably read the text? 30．Do you like eating onions? Why or why not?

In a corn maze (玉米迷宫), people can follow miles of winding (弯曲的) paths and run into lots of dead ends before they finally find their way out. For many farmers, showing families the way out can give the farm a lot of extra money. Simple corn mazes began appearing in the 1980s. In 1993, the first big corn maze created for the public to enjoy was made in Annville, Pennsylvania, by Don Frantz! During the opening weekend, 6,000 visitors came to get lost in the maze. Charging (收费) only $5 per person, Mr. Frantz earned almost $32,000 in two weeks. The creation was named the world’s largest maze by Guinness World Records! Since then, thousands of corn mazes have been created around the world, and several have broken that record. “Corn mazes help people connect with their roots (根),” Don Frantz said. “People are so far away from farm life that they are drawn (吸引) to something real and natural.” About 30,000 visitors a year make that connection at family-owned Harvestville Farm in Donnellson, Iowa. That’s where owner Adam Hohl once got lost in his own maze as he led a family the way out. Today, Harvestville Farm’s corn maze is as big as nine football fields. Mr Hohl said, “When we see families having fun on the farm, we know that they are making memories that will last a lifetime.” 31．When did simple corn mazes appear? 32．Who made the first big corn maze? 33．How many visitors travel to Harvestville Farm every year? 34．Why are people interested in corn mazes according to Don Frantz? 35．What does Mr Hohl mean in the last paragraph? 8.请根据短文内容回答下面问题，每题答案不超过10个单词。 The air is thin and we have to rest several times on the short hike from camp. To our left, snow-covered mountains disappear into clouds that seem almost close enough to touch. On the plain in front of us, we can just make out a herd of graceful animals. This is why we’re here—to observe Tibetan antelopes (藏羚羊). Tibetan antelopes live on the plains of Xizang, Xinjiang, and Qinghai. Watching them move slowly across the green grass, I’m struck by their beauty. I’m also reminded of the danger they were in. They were once hunted for their valuable fur. My guide is Zhaxi, a villager from Changtang. He works at the Changtang National Nature Reserve. The reserve is a shelter for the animals and plants of northwestern Xizang. To Zhaxi, the land is sacred (神圣的) and protecting the wildlife is a way of life. “We’re not trying to save the animals,” he says. “Actually, we’re trying to save ourselves.” The 1980s and 1990s were bad times for the Tibetan antelope. The population dropped by more than 50 percent. Hunters shot antelopes to make profits. Their habitats became smaller as new roads and railways were built. In order to save this species from disappearing, the Chinese government placed it under national protection. Zhaxi and other volunteers watched over the antelopes day and night to keep them safe from attacks. Bridges and gates were added to let the antelopes move easily and keep them safe from cars and trains. The measures were effective. The antelope population has recovered and in June 2015, the Tibetan antelope was removed from the endangered species list. The government, however, does not plan to stop the protection programmes, since the threats to the Tibetan antelope have not yet disappeared. In the evening, I drink a cup of tea and watch the stars. I think about the antelopes and what Zhaxi told me. Much is being done to protect wildlife, but if we really want to save the planet, we must change our way of life. Only when we learn to live in harmony with nature can we stop being a threat to wildlife and to our planet. 36．Where do Tibetan antelopes live? 37．How did Zhaxi and other volunteers keep Tibetan antelopes safe from attacks? 38．When was the Tibetan antelope removed from the endangered species list? 39．Why did Tibetan antelopes’ habitats become smaller and smaller in the 1980s and 1990s? 40．What can we do to protect endangered wildlife like Tibetan antelopes?

They both work as cleaners. If something else like dust (灰尘) gets into your eyes, tears also come into the eyes to clean it out. If you are hurt by something, your strong feelings produce some toxins (毒素) in your body, and at the same time, tears come out with them. If these toxins are not cleaned out of your body as soon as possible, they will do harm to the heart sooner or later. In the United States, men have heart problems more often than women do. Doctors say heart problems have something to do with the pressures (压力) of living and working now. Perhaps men suffer more from these illnesses because they do not cry enough. They need to cry more. In fact, you can find many ways of reducing the pressures to keep fit. Crying is a natural and physical one. 41．How many kinds of tears does the body usually produce? 42．What do tears do when dust gets into your eyes? 43．Will the toxins in the body do harm to the heart? 44．Why do men suffer more from heart problems than women in the US? 45．What will you do to reduce the pressures of living and working to keep fit?

The history of envelopes is probably much longer than you think. It is believed the envelope first appeared in ancient China. It was used to protect royal messages. However, the early envelope was nothing like what we use today. It was made from clay and looked like a ball. After the message was put into it, the envelope would be sealed (密封). The first paper envelope appeared around 200 B．C． It was also invented by the Chinese. However, at first, people used it only to send money to each other as gifts. It was not until around the seventh century that it was used for sending messages. The design of the early paper envelope was very simple, it was just a sheet of paper folded and sealed with wax (蜡). Since the envelope was made completely by hand, it was very expensive. In the 19th century, printing and manufacturing methods improved greatly. In 1853, American inventor Russell Hawes invented an envelope maker. The machine could produce about 12,500 envelopes every day. With these improvements, the cost of envelopes went down. The design also became more complex. Today, emails have become more popular than handwritten letters. However, three billion envelopes are used around the world every year. They are still part of modern life. 46．What did the early envelope look like? 47．When did people start to use paper envelopes for sending messages? 48．Why were early paper envelopes expensive? 49．How many envelopes are now used around the world every year? 50．What do you think of envelopes in modern life? 学科网(北京)股份有限公司 学科网(北京)股份有限公司 学科网（北京）股份有限公司1 / 3 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
