After two hours and two subway rides, he reaches his stall (货摊) inside Hongtudi Station.This place used to be a bomb shelter (防空洞) from World War II, but now it’s one of Chongqing’s most unconventional markets. “The tunnels stay cool in summer and warm in winter,” Luo says with a smile, standing behind a large wooden box that is already half-empty.“I make over 500 yuan a day here, and my vegetables sell out in just an hour.” This market is part of Chongqing’s “shelter plus” project, which turns old wartime shelters into useful spaces for modern life. In May 2024, the government changed this 700-square-meter shelter into a free market for farmers and small sellers. They added lights, better air flow, and smooth concrete (混凝土) floors, which attracts lots of customers. “Zero fees—no rent, no cleaning costs,” says Zuo Le, who manages the underground market.“What was once a forgotten bunker (地堡) is now a busy place for the community.” Hongtudi is just one of thousands of bomb shelters built in Chongqing during the war. From 1938 to 1943, Japanese planes bombed the city, so people dug shelters into the rocky hills. By 1942, there were over 1,600 shelters, protecting almost everyone in the city. Though the war ended long ago, many of these shelters are still kept well and finding new purposes. Some have been turned into bookstores, museums, gas stations, and even hotpot restaurants. “More than 80 years ago, these shelters protected local people when their lives were in danger,” says Luo Zibai, a tourism expert. “Now, they continue to serve the city in new ways, while standing as a lasting reminder for us to value peace.” 1．What does the underlined word“unconventional” in Paragraph 1 mean? A．Traditional. B．Expensive. C．Unusual. D．Old. 2．What can we learn about Luo Mingliang’s business in the shelter? A．He tries to sell vegetables as early as possible. B．The environment helps him sell his vegetables. C．He makes more money than others in the free market. D．He has to rent the stall at a high price every day. 3．What does Zuo Le mean by saying “What was once a forgotten bunker is now a busy place for the community”? A．The bunker is still not used by anyone. B．The community doesn’t like the new market. C．The old shelter has become active and useful again. D．The market is busy because of zero fees. 4．What is Luo Zibai’s attitude towards the reuse of bomb shelters? A．Doubtful. B．Worried. C．Uncertain. D．Supportive. 【答案】1．C 2．B 3．C 4．D 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了重庆将战时防空洞改造为现代实用空间的“防空洞+”项目，以红土地站的防空洞市场为例，讲述了其从战争掩体到社区繁忙场所的转变，以及防空洞如今的多种新用途。 1．第一段“This place used to be a bomb shelter from World War II, but now it’s one of Chongqing’s most unconventional markets”说明了防空洞改造的市场不同于常规市场，“unconventional”意为“不寻常的”。 2．第二段指出了“The tunnels stay cool in summer and warm in winter... I make over 500 yuan a day here, and my vegetables sell out in just an hour”防空洞的环境（冬暖夏凉）有助于蔬菜销售。 3．第三段“What was once a forgotten bunker is now a busy place for the community”意为“曾经被遗忘的地堡如今成了社区的繁忙场所”，说明旧防空洞重新变得活跃且有用。 4．最后一段“Now, they continue to serve the city in new ways, while standing as a lasting reminder for us to value peace”说明了罗子白对防空洞的再利用持支持态度。 Learn the art of the Calligraphy Calligraphy, which is also sometimes known as lettering, is the art of beautiful handwriting.

Started in 1993, the International Panda Festival is a celebration of giant pandas. It takes place on Sept. 22 every year. Giant pandas are loved around the world for their cute faces and playful nature. Today, new technology is helping protect them and give them better care. Here are some cool examples. Checking with an appCan you tell pandas Hua Hua, Meng Lan, and Fu Bao apart? A special app can! You just upload a photo. The app looks at the panda’s eyes, ears, mouth and the black-and-white face markings. It also checks their body shape and the way they move. This is even harder than recognizing people’s faces! Giving wild pandas an IDScientists collect panda droppings (粪便) to get DNA from them. The DNA shows whether the panda is male or female, where it lives and how many pandas there are. With this, each wild panda gets its own “passport”. Real-time monitoringSpecial solar-powered (太阳能的) cameras and 5G can watch pandas day and night. The system sends live video and can also identify (识别) other animals. This helps scientists protect pandas and their forest friends. 1．Why do scientists collect panda droppings?

The DNA shows whether the panda is male or female, where it lives and how many pandas there are.” 说明收集粪便的目的是获取DNA并了解熊猫的相关信息。因此选D。 2．第四段介绍实时监控技术：“Special solar-powered cameras and 5G can watch pandas day and night.” 说明太阳能摄像机和5G技术可以帮助科学家全天候监控熊猫。因此选B。 3．全文介绍了多种新技术在大熊猫保护中的应用，包括识别应用程序、DNA分析、实时监控系统等。因此文章主旨是新技术正在帮助保护和照顾大熊猫。因此选D。 Imagine a robot. What comes to your mind first? A machine stronger than the human body? However, this same quality is now causing a big problem—it’s creating tons of long-lasting e-waste that could flood our planet. What if, instead, the machines we use were designed to break down and disappear—just as living things do? For a study published in Science Advances, researchers made a robotic arm and a controller using materials from animals and plants. These materials are strong enough to work but can easily break down in a natural environment. After testing, both parts were gone in soil within weeks. Biodegradable (可生物降解的) robotics often falls under the umbrella of soft robotics, which takes ideas from nature. “This field started in materials science and chemistry rather than traditional robots that come from mechanical (机械的) engineering,” says Florian Hartmann, a materials scientist from Germany. However, many early soft robotics models still used man-made materials that cause pollution. Wei, a scientist who studies natural materials in Hangzhou, worked together with his friend Zhang, a robotics engineer in Shanghai, to build robots for the new study. They started with cellulose (纤维素) taken from cotton. Then, they added glycerol (甘油) to make a new material that is soft and easy to change shapes. After that they allowed it to dry so it became strong, “Cellulose is cheap and easy to work with,” says Wei. They found that the controller and the robotic arm stood up to both heavy use and a week of inactivity (不工作). Finally, they buried (埋) them both in a hole. ▲ Wei and Zhang expect that robots like these can be used to deal with dangerous waste and then disappear naturally. They also hope that such robots can help doctors in operations and then safely break down inside the body. However, it’s important to note that the technology is still in very early stages. “If we truly want to have a biodegradable robot,” Hartmann says, “we also need to make sure its electronics and power parts are biodegradable.” 1．How does the writer start the passage? A．By listing numbers. B．By telling stories. C．By raising questions. D．By comparing facts. 2．What is special about the robotic arm and the controller in Paragraph 2? A．They are green. B．They are hard. C．They are talented. D．They are cheap. 3．Which of the following sentences can be put in the ▲ ? A．Robots are made to help people in different ways. B．But these two parts could not break down underground. C．Researchers are still thinking about how to solve the problem. D．Within eight weeks these two parts were almost completely gone. 4．What can we learn from the passage? A．Soft robots are widely used to clean up e-waste. B．Soft robots have to rest for a week after heavy use. C．The designing of soft robots borrows ideas from nature. D．Mechanical engineering offers new ways to run soft robots. 【答案】1．C 2．A 3．D 4．C 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了可生物降解的机器人。文章先通过提出问题引出可生物降解机器人的概念，接着讲述研究人员用动植物材料制作机械臂和控制器，介绍了可生物降解机器人所属领域、制作材料及特点，还提到其潜在用途以及目前该技术仍处于早期阶段。 1．文章开头“Imagine a robot. What comes to your mind first? A machine stronger than the human body? However, this same quality is now causing a big problem...”通过提出“想象一个机器人，你首先想到什么”等问题来开启文章。所以作者通过提出问题开始这篇文章。 2．第二段提到“For a study published in Science Advances, researchers made a robotic arm and a controller using materials from animals and plants. These materials are strong enough to work but can easily break down in a natural environment. After testing, both parts were gone in soil within weeks.”说明机械臂和控制器的特殊之处在于它们是用动植物材料制成，能在自然环境中轻易分解，是环保的。 3．前文提到“After that they allowed it to dry so it became strong”以及“Finally, they buried (埋) them both in a hole.”说明把机械臂和控制器埋在土里，结合第二段“After testing, both parts were gone in soil within weeks.”可知，这里应该是说在八周内这两个部分几乎完全消失了，D选项符合语境。 4．第三段提到“Biodegradable (可生物降解的) robotics often falls under the umbrella of soft robotics, which takes ideas from nature.”说明软机器人的设计借鉴了自然的想法。 提升培优限时练5篇，建议用时25分钟，实际用时 分钟 HUAWEI Eyewear 2 is not just a pair of common glasses, but a smart product that brings convenience to people’s daily life, especially for students and technology lovers.

If you want to take a taxi on a taxi app, it can even guess where you want to go before you tell it! Aren’t these things amazing? This is based on data (数据). Data is no longer only about numbers, but information from almost every side of our lives: our shopping habits, interests or what we eat. All of this is called “big data”. China is speeding up its big data strategy (策略) to better serve social and economic (经济) development. As a result, people’s lives can be improved as well. It is also expected that there will be greater use of big data in areas like education, social safety and medical treatment. We have seen big data being used more often in China in the past few years. The use of it in tourism(旅游业) is just one example. Many travelers today like to share their experiences with others on the Internet. All the data that travelers share online is helping the tourism industry get a lot of information. After the data is analyzed (分析), these tour sights and service providers can better understand travelers’ needs. So services will be improved, which is helpful to the development of the whole industry. As a result, travelers can expect better tours in the future. Moreover, big data is also an important growth tool for economic development. With a growth rate of 30 percent every year, sales of the big data industry in China will reach one trillion (万亿) yuan yearly by 2030. Having so many positive influences, big data is sure to be seen more and more in China. 1．How does the writer start the passage in Paragraph 1? A．By telling a story. B．By showing numbers.

The lions dance to the beat of a drum. Of course, they are not real lions. They are dancers in Lion costumes. Lion dancing first started in China centuries ago. It is meant to bring good luck in the coming year. Usually, a lion is made up of two dancers. One dancer controls the head. The other controls the tail. “I think of it as a sport,” says Anthony Huang, aged 16. He is a member of the New York Chinese Freemasons Athletic Club. Anthony performs as the lion’s head. It can weigh 20 pounds. Lion dancing is important to Anthony. “This tradition really lifts me up,” he says. In the past, lion dancing was performed mostly by men. But it is different today. Lion Dance Me is a lion dancing group in San Francisco, California. There are boys and girls on its team. They dance together. “Anyone can take up lion dancing. You have to believe that you can do it,”  says Ananda Tang-Lec, a 17-year-old girl. Lion dancing will continue to evolve. But a team’s sense of community will never change. “We call it a family,” Ananda says. “It’s really great because we always have each other’s backs.” 1．Why do people perform lion dancing? A．To wish for a lucky new year. B．To sell lion-dancing costumes. C．To protect the lions in the wild. D．To show skills of playing the drums. 2．Which role does Anthony play in lion dancing? A．The dresser. B．The drummer. C．The lion’s tail. D．The lion’s head. 3．What does the underlined word “evolve” mean? A．延期 B．模仿 C．举办 D．演变 4．What can we infer (推断) from Ananda’s words “We call it a family”? A．They live together in a big family. B．They bring happiness to the family. C．They call lion dancing a family game. D．They support each other like a family. 【答案】1．A 2．D 3．D 4．D 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲述了舞狮这一传统活动，介绍了舞狮的起源、舞狮的构成、不同人对舞狮的看法、如今舞狮人员的变化以及舞狮的未来发展和舞狮团队间的关系等。 1．第一段指出“Lion dancing first started in China centuries ago. It is meant to bring good luck in the coming year.”，这直接说明人们表演舞狮是为了祈求新的一年好运。 2．第三段提到“Anthony performs as the lion’s head.”，说明Anthony在舞狮中扮演狮子的头这一角色。 3．最后一段提到“Lion dancing will continue to evolve. But a team’s sense of community will never change.”，结合语境可知舞狮会持续发展变化，也就是会“演变”，团队间的社区意识不会改变。所以“evolve”意思是“演变”。 4．最后一段提到“We call it a family,” Ananda says. “It’s really great because we always have each other’s backs.”，从“我们总是互相支持”可以推断出他们像家人一样互相支持。 This summer, “picking wild mushrooms on Cangshan Mountain in Dali” has become a hot online trend, attracting a large number of tourists. During the summer holidays, many short videos and photos about “picking mushrooms in Dali” became very popular on platforms like Douyin and Xiaohongshu. These posts showed people picking mushrooms and taking pictures. Some people even charged money (from twenty to two hundred yuan per person and kids who are under 6 years old are free) to guide tourists, providing tools or even helping them cook the mushrooms. On Sunday, the Dali Bai Autonomous Prefecture government announced, “We will check the area carefully and do not allow any illegal (非法的) activities or mushroom-picking that is harmful to the environment.” In Yanghe village, some forests that were once full of plants have been walked on so much that the ground is now bare (光秃秃的). Environmental volunteers and experts say that careless mushroom picking has already damaged the natural ecosystem (生态系统). Wang Bin, an environmental volunteer, explained, “When people dig through the ground, the mycelium (菌丝) is exposed to sunlight and dies. Then, it cannot grow back or produce more mushrooms in the future.” Experts also say that if the mushrooms’ growing environment is destroyed, it could take 5 to 10 years for them to return. Wild mushrooms are very important because they help break down tough materials like lignin (木质素) in dead leaves and branches. They also help other plants and fungi (真菌) grow. Mushrooms are food for insects and small animals. Experts said, “Mushrooms are decomposers. Without them, dead plants in the forest cannot rot (腐烂) easily, and trees may get sick more easily.” Now, because low-altitude mushrooms are becoming rare, people are going higher up the mountain. Some even enter restricted nature reserves (保护区). The government says they will punish illegal activities. 1．How much should a family which includes a father, a mother and a child (5 years old) pay at least if they wanted to pick mushrooms? A．40 yuan B．60 yuan C．300 yuan D．600 yuan 2．From Paragraph 3 we can know the government will ________. A．take action against illegal mushroom picking B．allow guided tours in the whole area C．encourage tourists to pick mushrooms D．help tourists cook mushrooms 3．What can we infer from what Wang Bin said? A．Mushroom-picking is very safe. B．The ecosystem can recover quickly. C．Digging is harmful to mushroom growth. D．Tourists know how to protect mushrooms. 4．According to the Paragraph 7, “decomposers” can ________. A．eat hard living plants in the forests B．break down dead leaves and branches C．grow in wet areas or under the dead plants D．produce food for insects and small animals 【答案】1．A 2．A 3．C 4．B 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲述了大理苍山采野生蘑菇成为热门网络趋势后，出现的一系列问题，包括有人收费引导游客采蘑菇、采蘑菇对自然生态系统造成破坏、野生蘑菇的重要性以及政府将惩罚非法活动等。 1．第二段指出“Some people even charged money (from twenty to two hundred yuan per person and kids who are under 6 years old are free) to guide tourists”，说明收费标准是每人20到200元，6岁以下儿童免费。一个家庭有父亲、母亲和一个5岁孩子，孩子免费，父母两人按最低收费每人20元算，至少应支付40元。 2．第三段说明原因：“On Sunday, the Dali Bai Autonomous Prefecture government announced, ‘We will check the area carefully and do not allow any illegal (非法的) activities or mushroom - picking that is harmful to the environment.’”，表明政府将仔细检查该区域，不允许任何非法活动或对环境有害的采蘑菇行为，即政府将采取行动打击非法采蘑菇行为。 3．第五段王斌解释“When people dig through the ground, the mycelium (菌丝) is exposed to sunlight and dies. Then, it cannot grow back or produce more mushrooms in the future.”，说明当人们挖掘地面时，菌丝暴露在阳光下会死亡，未来无法再生长或产生更多蘑菇，即挖掘对蘑菇生长有害。 4．第六段和第七段介绍：“Wild mushrooms are very important because they help break down tough materials like lignin (木质素) in dead leaves and branches. They also help other plants and fungi (真菌) grow. Mushrooms are food for insects and small animals. Experts said, ‘Mushrooms are decomposers. Without them, dead plants in the forest cannot rot (腐烂) easily, and trees may get sick more easily.’”，说明“分解者”（蘑菇）能帮助分解枯叶和树枝中的坚韧物质，即分解枯叶和树枝。 A new study has found that including climate impact labels (标签) on a fast food menu influenced participants’ food choices in favor of more climate-friendly items. Study lead author Julia Wolfson, associate professor in the Department of International Health at the Bloomberg School and her co-authors wanted to test how labeling climate change impacts of fast-food menu items might lead people to choose less red meat. Eating too much red meat has been linked to many health problems. Eating less red meat would also help lower greenhouse gas emissions (排放). More than 5,000 participants were shown a sample menu and asked to choose a single item for dinner. One group of participants received a menu with non-red meat items such as chicken sandwiches labeled “low climate impact”. Another group received a menu with red meat items-burgers labeled “high climate impact”. A third control group received menus without climate labels. Both the high and low climate impact labels markedly reduced red meat choices compared to the control group. Menus with a high climate impact label on burgers increased non-beef choices by 23 percent compared to the control group. Menus that included low climate impact labels increased non-beef choices, such as a chicken sandwich or a salad, by about 10 percent more participants than those in the control group. “These results suggest that menu labeling, particularly labels warning that an item has high climate impact, can be an effective strategy for encouraging more sustainable (可持续的) food choices in a fast food setting”, says Wolfson. While encouraging on the whole, the results suggest that positive “low climate impact” labels are less effective in encouraging sustainable food choices compared to “high climate impact” labels. At the same time, climate labels may have the unwanted side effect of making a choice seem healthier than it actually is. “An undeserved health halo (光环) given to unhealthy menu items could encourage people to overeat them.” Wolfson says, “So we have to look for labeling strategies that create ‘win-wins’ for encouraging both more sustainable and healthy choices.” 1．What’s the aim of the new study?

In Darvaza, one of its villages, there is a very interesting feature. It is a huge hole in the ground—about 20 metres (65 feet) deep and 60 metres (196 feet) across. The enormous pit (坑) has been on fire for more than 50 years. Why is the crater (坑) on fire? The most popular theory is that in 1971, a team of geologists from the then-Soviet Union were drilling in the country’s Karakum Desert to try to find gas. The ground under the drill collapsed and methane (甲烷) gas began to escape into the air. The geologists decided the safest thing to do was to burn off the gas by lighting it on fire. They thought the fire would burn for only a few weeks. However, it has been burning for more than 50 years. According to a BBC article, Canadian explorer George Kourounis discovered in 2013 that “no one actually knows how this came to be”. But, now the fire in the crater may finally come to an end. Turkmenistan’s president, Mr. Gurbanguly Berdimuhamedow, has asked scientists in the country to figure out how to put out the burning crater. He went on the country’s state-run television station on January 8 to encourage experts to find a way to stop the fire. One of the reasons he wants the crater to be put out is that the country can collect the gas that fuels (为……提供燃料) it. Gas is a very important and valuable resource and can be used for many purposes. If it’s just burning off, the gas cannot be used or sold. According to the website Vice.com, the crater sits on the fourth largest reserve of natural gas in the world. Another reason the president may want the crater put out is to stop the harmful effects, to humans and the environment, of the burning gas. 1．Why did the geologists light the crater? A．To test the quality of the gas. B．To burn off the underground gas. C．To prevent explosion of the gas. D．To stop the escape of the gas. 2．What does Turkmenistan’s president mainly hope to achieve by putting out the crater? A．To protect the crater. B．To find the reason for the fire. C．To seek help from the public. D．To make full use of the gas. 3．Which of the following can be the best title for the text? A．The Fire Crater May Soon Be Put Out B．A Peculiar Scenic Spot in Turkmenistan C．The Crater Burning for Fifty Years D．The Harmful Effects of the Burning Gas 【答案】1．B 2．D 3．A 【导语】这是一篇说明文，介绍了土库曼斯坦达瓦扎“地狱之门”火坑的起源、持续燃烧的现状，以及该国总统计划扑灭大火以利用天然气资源、减少环境危害的相关情况。 1．第二段“The ground under the drill collapsed and methane gas began to escape into the air. The geologists decided the safest thing to do was to burn off the gas by lighting it on fire.”解释了地质学家点燃火坑是为了燃烧掉泄漏的天然气，避免气体积聚引发爆炸。 2．第四段“Turkmenistan’s president…has asked scientists…to figure out how to put out the burning crater. ”及第五段“One of the reasons he wants the crater to be put out is that the country can collect the gas that fuels it.”表明总统想要扑灭大火，核心原因是想要收集并充分利用天然气资源，对应选项D。 3．根据第三段“But, now the fire in the crater may finally come to an end.”及第四段“Turkmenistan’s president…has asked scientists…to figure out how to put out the burning crater.”可知，文章在介绍火坑起源后，重点讲述了火坑可能被扑灭的现状与总统的相关举措。选项A最能概括文章核心内容。 Do you have a long list of hobbies that light you up but find it hard to balance them all? You’re not alone! The real challenge isn’t having too many hobbies, but rather how you manage them. In this passage, we’ll share how to enjoy all your hobbies without burning yourself out. ●Focus on what you enjoy now. It’s not easy to follow every hobby at the same time. The key is to focus on the hobbies that can bring you the most joy and energy right now. For example, maybe this month you’re excited about photography, but next month, you might want to try cooking. By changing hobbies based on what excites you, you’ll stay interested and avoid burnout. ●Set a flexible schedule (灵活的时间表). A flexible schedule helps you stay organized without adding pressure. You can create time blocks, such as one evening for drawing and another for guitar practice. But remember to use your hobby schedule as a guide, not a strict rule. If one hobby catches your attention more than the others, feel free to give it more time. ● ▲ Why not get creative and combine your hobbies when possible? Some activities naturally go well together, allowing you to enjoy many interests. For example, if you love being outdoors and photography, take your camera with you when you go out. By doing this, you can enjoy the best of both worlds while keeping things fresh and exciting. ●Perfection is not necessary. When you have many interests, it’s easy to feel pressure to be good at all of them. But here’s the thing: hobbies are meant to be enjoyable, not stressful! You don’t need to be a professional artist, chef, or writer to benefit from your hobbies. Focus on the learning process and let go of the need to be perfect. It’s okay to be "just okay” at some things—what matters most is that they bring you joy. 1．What is the real challenge for people with too many hobbies? A．Managing hobbies well. B．Deciding which hobby to give up. C．Finding enough money for each hobby. D．Choosing which hobby to begin with. 2．Why is setting a flexible schedule suggested? A．It provides people with more time to try new hobbies. B．It helps people follow the schedule more easily. C．It gives people more chances to make friends. D．It allows people to enjoy hobbies more freely. 3．Which of the following can be put in ▲ ? A．Mix hobbies for more fun. B．Take up more hobbies. C．Turn a hobby into an action. D．Plan your trip ahead of time. 4．What would the writer most probably agree with? A．Focus on the hobbies that you spend the most time on. B．Remember to use your hobby schedule as a strict rule. C．If you enjoy your hobby, try to be a professional person. D．You can enjoy two hobbies at the same time. 【答案】1．A 2．D 3．A 4．D 【导语】文章针对拥有众多爱好的人如何平衡和享受这些爱好的问题，提出了四个实用的建议：专注于当下的快乐、制定灵活的时间表、尝试混合爱好以及不必追求完美。 1．细节理解题。根据“The real challenge isn’t having too many hobbies, but rather how you manage them.”可知，真正的挑战不是拥有太多的爱好，而是如何管理它们。故选A。 2．推理判断题。根据“A flexible schedule helps you stay organized without adding pressure…feel free to give it more time.”可知，灵活的时间表可以帮助人们在没有压力的情况下保持条理，并且可以自由地给喜欢的爱好更多时间，即允许人们更自由地享受爱好。故选D。 3．推理判断题。根据“Why not get creative and combine your hobbies when possible?”以及“For example, if you love being outdoors and photography, take your camera with you when you go out.”可知，本段的核心建议是将不同的爱好结合在一起进行。选项A“混合爱好以获得更多乐趣。”准确概括了本段的主旨。故选A。 4．推理判断题。根据“Some activities naturally go well together…By doing this, you can enjoy the best of both worlds”可知，作者鼓励将不同的爱好结合起来，从而可以同时享受两全其美，这与D项“你可以同时享受两个爱好。”的观点一致。故选D。 Carl Behnke, a food safety expert at Purdue University, had long been curious about the actual cleanliness of his reusable water bottle. He put paper towels into the bottle and, upon pulling them out, was shocked to see how dirty they turned out to be. This inspired him to design a study. Behnke and his workmates stopped passers-by along a road at Purdue University and asked if they would be happy to lend their water bottles to them as part of their research — to see how clean they were. “One thing that stood out from the project was the number of people who didn’t want to know the results,” recalls Behnke. “Basically, they knew that their cleaning habits were poor, with some even hardly thinking about cleaning their bottles.” Research shows that reusable water bottles can carry millions of bacteria (细菌). A study found that water in bottles used by adults went from about 75,000 bacteria per milliliter in the morning to over 1-2 million by the end of the day. Contamination (污染) often comes from the drinker’s hands, mouth, and the outside of the bottle. Those who don’t wash their hands regularly may introduce harmful germs like E. coli into their bottles. While most bacteria are harmless, they can put some people at risk, especially those with poor health. Besides, drinks that have sugar can feed bacteria, making the situation worse. Although there is a small chance that we get serious illnesses from reusable bottles, it’s still important to keep good hygiene (卫生). To cut down bacterial growth, it’s suggested to clean your water bottle regularly. Behnke’s research showed that people who used brushes or dishwashers had the lowest bacteria counts. People should clean their bottles with hot water and soap, letting the bottle sit under water for about ten minutes before washing. It’s important to let the bottle air-dry to prevent wetness buildup, which encourages bacteria. And proper handwashing before touching your clean bottle can also help cut down contamination. 1．Why does the writer mention the fact that Carl Behnke put paper towels into the bottle in the first paragraph? A．To lead in the study. B．To give a solution. C．To explain a subject. D．To tell a story. 2．What can be inferred about the people in the study according to Paragraph 2? A．They actively helped with the study. B．They thought the study was necessary. C．They were confident about the study results. D．They were clear they didn’t take good care of their bottles. 3．What’s a suggested way to reduce bacteria growth? A．Wiping with clean dry towels. B．Washing hands regularly with soap. C．Using brushes with hot soapy water. D．Washing for about ten minutes each time. 4．Which of the following best shows the structure of the passage? A． B． C． D． 【答案】1．A 2．D 3．C 4．C 【导语】普渡大学食品卫生专家的研究发现，可重复使用的水瓶细菌超标普遍，不清洁会危害健康，建议定期清洁水瓶并保持手部卫生。 1．根据第一段中“He put paper towels into the bottle…This inspired him to design a study.”可知，作者先写Behnke把纸巾放进瓶子的行为是为了引出后文关于水瓶清洁度的研究。 2．第二段提到很多人不想知道研究结果，他们都清楚自己的清洁习惯不好，有些人甚至几乎从不考虑清洗自己的水杯，说明他们很清楚自己没有好好清洗自己的水瓶。 3．根据第五段中“To cut down bacterial growth, it’s suggested to clean your water bottle regularly. Behnke’s research showed that people who used brushes or dishwashers had the lowest bacteria counts.”可知，用刷子或洗碗机清洗水瓶是降低细菌生长的有效方法。 4．第1段提出研究背景与实验；第2段至第4段具体讲述研究发现、人们的态度、细菌污染来源和危害；第5段总结，给出清洁建议。结构为“总-分-总结构”，对应选项C的结构。 The 2026 Spring Festival Gala (春晚) has brought a big surprise to the world. Humanoid robots became the real stars of the night. Four top Chinese robot companies showed their cutting-edge products on the large stage. This amazing show not only pleased millions of people but also proved that China’s robot industry is moving fast from laboratories to our real lives. Unitree Technology, a famous name at the Gala, worked together with Henan Tagou Wushu School. They presented a wonderful kung fu arts program called Wu BOT. On the stage, the robots moved just like real kung fu masters. They performed very difficult moves without falling down. It was a perfect mix of traditional Chinese culture and modern technology. Last year, this company’s robots could only twirl handkerchiefs (转手帕) and dance Yangko. Another company, Maoiclub, brought another kind of panda robots. These robots can walk smoothly and avoid knocking into things by themselves. They look like real cute pandas. This company also created the robots which could even boil noodles and serve the people. At the same time, Galbot’s robots caught everyone’s eyes. They are very smart because they can make their own decisions and even have a short, funny chat with the hosts. The robots made by Noetix Robotics can keep the elderly company and even do some housework for people in homes. Experts call 2026 the “first year of humanoid robots”. These stage stars show China’s great technological progress. They make it possible for robots to enter our homes and help us with daily chores in the near future. The dream of living with robots is coming true. 1．How many companies showed their robots at the 2026 Spring Festival Gala? A．Three. B．Four. C．Five. D．Six. 2．Why was the program “Wu BOT” special according to the text this year? A．It was the first time robots appeared at the Gala. B．Robots can only move in the lab, not in our real life. C．It was a mix of traditional Chinese culture and modern technology. D．Robots could only twirl handkerchiefs and dance Yangko. 3．What does “cutting-edge” in Paragraph 1 mean according to the passage? A．The most old-fashioned. B．The most possible. C．The least modern. D．The most modern. 4．What is the best title for the passage? A．The Improvement of Unitree Robots at the Spring Festival Gala. B．How to Train a Humanoid Robot for the Spring Festival Gala. C．Robot Stars: Focus of the 2026 Spring Festival Gala. D．Traditional Wushu at the 2026 Spring Festival Gala. 【答案】1．B 2．C 3．D 4．C 【导语】本文报道了2026年春节联欢晚会上，多家中国机器人公司展示了先进的人形机器人，将传统文化与现代科技完美融合，标志着中国机器人产业的快速发展。 1．根据第一段中的“Four top Chinese robot companies showed their cutting-edge products on the large stage.”可知，有四家公司在2026年春晚上展示了他们的机器人。 2．根据第二段中的“They presented a wonderful kung fu arts program called Wu BOT. ... It was a perfect mix of traditional Chinese culture and modern technology.”可知，“Wu BOT”节目的特别之处在于它将中国传统文化（功夫）与现代科技完美融合。 3．根据“Four top Chinese robot companies showed their cutting-edge products on the large stage. This amazing show ... proved that China’s robot industry is moving fast”的语境，顶尖公司展示的产品是先进的、引领行业的，因此“cutting-edge”意为“最先进的”。 4．文章主要围绕2026年春晚机器人成为焦点这一核心事件展开，介绍了多家公司的机器人及其表现。因此最佳标题是“机器人明星：2026年春晚的焦点”。 Viktor Frankl, the author of Man’s Search for Meaning, once wrote, “Everything can be taken from a person but one thing: the last of human freedoms—to choose one’s attitude in any given set of circumstances.” Frankl was right. Attitude is a choice. You could be faced with a thousand problems, many or most over which you have absolutely no control. However, there is always one thing you are in complete and absolute control of and that is your own attitude. To be honest, it wasn’t until I was in my late 20s that I finally understood its full impact. All through my teens and into my early adult life, I can’t tell you the number of times that I heard, “Bob, if you’d just change your attitude, you would do a lot better.” At that time, I didn’t know what attitude was, let alone know how to change it! Attitude and results are inseparable. They follow one another as night follows day. One is the cause, while the other, the result. There is a term we use to distinguish this “cause and effect” relationship, which is called the Law of Cause and Effect. Simply stated, if you think in negative terms, you will get negative results; if you think in positive terms, you will achieve positive results. Some people always see wrong things in the world. These individuals are quick to blame circumstances or other people for their problems, rather than accepting responsibility for their life and their attitude. Thus, it would appear as if they were born with bad luck and it has followed them around their whole life. However, there are others who are forever winning and living the good life. They are the real movers and shakers who make things happen. They seem to go from one major accomplishment to another. They’re in control of their life. Their wins are a matter of choice. You can experience that kind of life as well, you only need to decide. Dorothea Brande once said, “Act as if it were impossible to fail,” and I challenge you to do so. By simply becoming aware that you can choose your thoughts each and every day, you will change your entire outlook. You have the power to choose an abundant life no matter what your circumstances are. Don’t wait to experience all the wonderful things the universe has in store for you. Start today by working on your attitude and welcome the abundant life that you are meant to lead. 1．Why does the writer use the example of himself in Paragraph 2? A．To prove attitude changes on its own. B．To show attitude is important to the old. C．To prove the author himself was very stubborn. D．To show that understanding one’s attitude takes time. 2．What can we learn from the Law of Cause and Effect? A．Luck and chance also play an incredibly important role in the results we get. B．Our attitude plays an important role in determining the outcomes we experience. C．Blaming external circumstances can actually bring benefits to our mental health. D．Negative attitudes may occasionally bring positive results due to external factors. 3．What is the writer’s attitude towards those who believe in the power of positive mindsets (心态)? A．Supportive. B．Objective. C．Doubtful. D．Negative. 【答案】1．D 2．B 3．A 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了态度是唯一可控的自由，态度决定结果；正面心态带来积极人生，呼吁读者主动选择态度，迎接丰盛生活。   1．第二段指出：“To be honest, it wasn’t until I was in my late 20s that I finally understood its full impact...At that time, I didn’t know what attitude was, let alone know how to change it!”，直到快30岁才理解态度的影响，年轻时听过很多次“改变态度会更好”却不明白。这说明了理解态度需要时间。 2．第三段指出：“Simply stated, if you think in negative terms, you will get negative results; if you think in positive terms, you will achieve positive results.”，负面思考带来负面结果，正面思考带来正面结果。这说明态度在决定结果中起重要作用。 3．第四段指出：“Dorothea Brande once said, ‘Act as if it were impossible to fail,’ and I challenge you to do so...Start today by working on your attitude and welcome the abundant life that you are meant to lead.”，作者引用名言“表现得好像不可能失败”，并鼓励读者“每天选择思想”和“拥有选择丰盛生活的力量”，可见作者是支持积极心态的。A选项正确。B“客观”、C“怀疑”、D“否定”均不符合。 2 迎战新中考，备考有方向，冲刺有重点！ 1 迎战新中考，备考有方向，冲刺有重点！ 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 备战2026年浙江中考英语押题预测系列，本地名师甄选！ 备战2026年浙江中考英语押题预测系列，本地名师甄选！ 专题03 说明文阅读理解热点练15篇 （好题速递） 【选题说明：90%选自最新模考/外刊/改编/热点；内容预览：3类限时训练共15篇；难度：易中难】   押   题   预   测 基础入门限时练5篇，建议用时20分钟，实际用时 分钟 When someone’s heart suddenly stops, we can use an AED to save him or her.

Early in the morning, Luo Mingliang packs some vegetables into a bamboo basket and leaves his home in Shichuan, a small town in the hills of Chongqing. After two hours and two subway rides, he reaches his stall (货摊) inside Hongtudi Station.This place used to be a bomb shelter (防空洞) from World War II, but now it’s one of Chongqing’s most unconventional markets. “The tunnels stay cool in summer and warm in winter,” Luo says with a smile, standing behind a large wooden box that is already half-empty.“I make over 500 yuan a day here, and my vegetables sell out in just an hour.” This market is part of Chongqing’s “shelter plus” project, which turns old wartime shelters into useful spaces for modern life. In May 2024, the government changed this 700-square-meter shelter into a free market for farmers and small sellers. They added lights, better air flow, and smooth concrete (混凝土) floors, which attracts lots of customers. “Zero fees—no rent, no cleaning costs,” says Zuo Le, who manages the underground market.“What was once a forgotten bunker (地堡) is now a busy place for the community.” Hongtudi is just one of thousands of bomb shelters built in Chongqing during the war. From 1938 to 1943, Japanese planes bombed the city, so people dug shelters into the rocky hills. By 1942, there were over 1,600 shelters, protecting almost everyone in the city. Though the war ended long ago, many of these shelters are still kept well and finding new purposes. Some have been turned into bookstores, museums, gas stations, and even hotpot restaurants. “More than 80 years ago, these shelters protected local people when their lives were in danger,” says Luo Zibai, a tourism expert. “Now, they continue to serve the city in new ways, while standing as a lasting reminder for us to value peace.” 1．What does the underlined word“unconventional” in Paragraph 1 mean? A．Traditional. B．Expensive. C．Unusual. D．Old. 2．What can we learn about Luo Mingliang’s business in the shelter? A．He tries to sell vegetables as early as possible. B．The environment helps him sell his vegetables. C．He makes more money than others in the free market. D．He has to rent the stall at a high price every day. 3．What does Zuo Le mean by saying “What was once a forgotten bunker is now a busy place for the community”? A．The bunker is still not used by anyone. B．The community doesn’t like the new market. C．The old shelter has become active and useful again. D．The market is busy because of zero fees. 4．What is Luo Zibai’s attitude towards the reuse of bomb shelters? A．Doubtful. B．Worried. C．Uncertain. D．Supportive.

Started in 1993, the International Panda Festival is a celebration of giant pandas. It takes place on Sept. 22 every year. Giant pandas are loved around the world for their cute faces and playful nature. Today, new technology is helping protect them and give them better care. Here are some cool examples. Checking with an appCan you tell pandas Hua Hua, Meng Lan, and Fu Bao apart? A special app can! You just upload a photo. The app looks at the panda’s eyes, ears, mouth and the black-and-white face markings. It also checks their body shape and the way they move. This is even harder than recognizing people’s faces! Giving wild pandas an IDScientists collect panda droppings (粪便) to get DNA from them. The DNA shows whether the panda is male or female, where it lives and how many pandas there are. With this, each wild panda gets its own “passport”. Real-time monitoringSpecial solar-powered (太阳能的) cameras and 5G can watch pandas day and night. The system sends live video and can also identify (识别) other animals. This helps scientists protect pandas and their forest friends. 1．Why do scientists collect panda droppings? A．To give each panda a real passport. B．To count the number of pandas in the world. C．To check whether the pandas are healthy or not. D．To get DNA and learn about the pandas’ information. 2．What helps scientists watch pandas 24 hours a day? A．Special app. B．Solar-powered cameras and 5G. C．Panda droppings. D．Face recognition technology. 3．What is the main idea of the text? A．We can use an app to tell different pandas apart. B．Giant pandas are one of China’s most beloved animals.

A machine stronger than the human body? However, this same quality is now causing a big problem—it’s creating tons of long-lasting e-waste that could flood our planet. What if, instead, the machines we use were designed to break down and disappear—just as living things do? For a study published in Science Advances, researchers made a robotic arm and a controller using materials from animals and plants. These materials are strong enough to work but can easily break down in a natural environment. After testing, both parts were gone in soil within weeks. Biodegradable (可生物降解的) robotics often falls under the umbrella of soft robotics, which takes ideas from nature. “This field started in materials science and chemistry rather than traditional robots that come from mechanical (机械的) engineering,” says Florian Hartmann, a materials scientist from Germany. However, many early soft robotics models still used man-made materials that cause pollution. Wei, a scientist who studies natural materials in Hangzhou, worked together with his friend Zhang, a robotics engineer in Shanghai, to build robots for the new study. They started with cellulose (纤维素) taken from cotton. Then, they added glycerol (甘油) to make a new material that is soft and easy to change shapes. After that they allowed it to dry so it became strong, “Cellulose is cheap and easy to work with,” says Wei. They found that the controller and the robotic arm stood up to both heavy use and a week of inactivity (不工作). Finally, they buried (埋) them both in a hole. ▲ Wei and Zhang expect that robots like these can be used to deal with dangerous waste and then disappear naturally. They also hope that such robots can help doctors in operations and then safely break down inside the body. However, it’s important to note that the technology is still in very early stages. “If we truly want to have a biodegradable robot,” Hartmann says, “we also need to make sure its electronics and power parts are biodegradable.” 1．How does the writer start the passage? A．By listing numbers. B．By telling stories. C．By raising questions. D．By comparing facts. 2．What is special about the robotic arm and the controller in Paragraph 2? A．They are green. B．They are hard. C．They are talented. D．They are cheap. 3．Which of the following sentences can be put in the ▲ ? A．Robots are made to help people in different ways. B．But these two parts could not break down underground. C．Researchers are still thinking about how to solve the problem. D．Within eight weeks these two parts were almost completely gone. 4．What can we learn from the passage? A．Soft robots are widely used to clean up e-waste. B．Soft robots have to rest for a week after heavy use. C．The designing of soft robots borrows ideas from nature. D．Mechanical engineering offers new ways to run soft robots. 提升培优限时练5篇，建议用时25分钟，实际用时 分钟 HUAWEI Eyewear 2 is not just a pair of common glasses, but a smart product that brings convenience to people’s daily life, especially for students and technology lovers.

If you want to take a taxi on a taxi app, it can even guess where you want to go before you tell it! Aren’t these things amazing? This is based on data (数据). Data is no longer only about numbers, but information from almost every side of our lives: our shopping habits, interests or what we eat. All of this is called “big data”. China is speeding up its big data strategy (策略) to better serve social and economic (经济) development. As a result, people’s lives can be improved as well. It is also expected that there will be greater use of big data in areas like education, social safety and medical treatment. We have seen big data being used more often in China in the past few years. The use of it in tourism(旅游业) is just one example. Many travelers today like to share their experiences with others on the Internet. All the data that travelers share online is helping the tourism industry get a lot of information. After the data is analyzed (分析), these tour sights and service providers can better understand travelers’ needs. So services will be improved, which is helpful to the development of the whole industry. As a result, travelers can expect better tours in the future. Moreover, big data is also an important growth tool for economic development. With a growth rate of 30 percent every year, sales of the big data industry in China will reach one trillion (万亿) yuan yearly by 2030. Having so many positive influences, big data is sure to be seen more and more in China. 1．How does the writer start the passage in Paragraph 1? A．By telling a story. B．By showing numbers.

D．The growth speed of the big data industry in China will slow down by 2030. 3．Which of the following words can describe the writer’s feeling towards big data? A．Hopeful B．Careful C．Dissatisfied D．Doubtful 4．What can be the best title for the passage? A．Big Data: Helping Economic Growth B．Data Strategy: Driving Tourism Development C．Big Data: Influencing Daily Lives Positively D．Data Strategy: Changing Shopping Habits 根据短文内容，从A、B、C、D四个选项中选择一个正确答案。 Have you ever seen lions dancing in the streets? The lions dance to the beat of a drum. Of course, they are not real lions. They are dancers in Lion costumes. Lion dancing first started in China centuries ago. It is meant to bring good luck in the coming year. Usually, a lion is made up of two dancers. One dancer controls the head. The other controls the tail. “I think of it as a sport,” says Anthony Huang, aged 16. He is a member of the New York Chinese Freemasons Athletic Club. Anthony performs as the lion’s head. It can weigh 20 pounds. Lion dancing is important to Anthony. “This tradition really lifts me up,” he says. In the past, lion dancing was performed mostly by men. But it is different today. Lion Dance Me is a lion dancing group in San Francisco, California. There are boys and girls on its team. They dance together. “Anyone can take up lion dancing. You have to believe that you can do it,”  says Ananda Tang-Lec, a 17-year-old girl. Lion dancing will continue to evolve. But a team’s sense of community will never change. “We call it a family,” Ananda says. “It’s really great because we always have each other’s backs.” 1．Why do people perform lion dancing? A．To wish for a lucky new year. B．To sell lion-dancing costumes. C．To protect the lions in the wild. D．To show skills of playing the drums. 2．Which role does Anthony play in lion dancing? A．The dresser. B．The drummer. C．The lion’s tail. D．The lion’s head. 3．What does the underlined word “evolve” mean? A．延期 B．模仿 C．举办 D．演变 4．What can we infer (推断) from Ananda’s words “We call it a family”? A．They live together in a big family. B．They bring happiness to the family. C．They call lion dancing a family game. D．They support each other like a family. This summer, “picking wild mushrooms on Cangshan Mountain in Dali” has become a hot online trend, attracting a large number of tourists. During the summer holidays, many short videos and photos about “picking mushrooms in Dali” became very popular on platforms like Douyin and Xiaohongshu. These posts showed people picking mushrooms and taking pictures. Some people even charged money (from twenty to two hundred yuan per person and kids who are under 6 years old are free) to guide tourists, providing tools or even helping them cook the mushrooms. On Sunday, the Dali Bai Autonomous Prefecture government announced, “We will check the area carefully and do not allow any illegal (非法的) activities or mushroom-picking that is harmful to the environment.” In Yanghe village, some forests that were once full of plants have been walked on so much that the ground is now bare (光秃秃的). Environmental volunteers and experts say that careless mushroom picking has already damaged the natural ecosystem (生态系统). Wang Bin, an environmental volunteer, explained, “When people dig through the ground, the mycelium (菌丝) is exposed to sunlight and dies. Then, it cannot grow back or produce more mushrooms in the future.” Experts also say that if the mushrooms’ growing environment is destroyed, it could take 5 to 10 years for them to return. Wild mushrooms are very important because they help break down tough materials like lignin (木质素) in dead leaves and branches. They also help other plants and fungi (真菌) grow. Mushrooms are food for insects and small animals. Experts said, “Mushrooms are decomposers. Without them, dead plants in the forest cannot rot (腐烂) easily, and trees may get sick more easily.” Now, because low-altitude mushrooms are becoming rare, people are going higher up the mountain. Some even enter restricted nature reserves (保护区). The government says they will punish illegal activities. 1．How much should a family which includes a father, a mother and a child (5 years old) pay at least if they wanted to pick mushrooms? A．40 yuan B．60 yuan C．300 yuan D．600 yuan 2．From Paragraph 3 we can know the government will ________. A．take action against illegal mushroom picking B．allow guided tours in the whole area C．encourage tourists to pick mushrooms D．help tourists cook mushrooms 3．What can we infer from what Wang Bin said? A．Mushroom-picking is very safe. B．The ecosystem can recover quickly. C．Digging is harmful to mushroom growth. D．Tourists know how to protect mushrooms. 4．According to the Paragraph 7, “decomposers” can ________. A．eat hard living plants in the forests B．break down dead leaves and branches C．grow in wet areas or under the dead plants D．produce food for insects and small animals A new study has found that including climate impact labels (标签) on a fast food menu influenced participants’ food choices in favor of more climate-friendly items. Study lead author Julia Wolfson, associate professor in the Department of International Health at the Bloomberg School and her co-authors wanted to test how labeling climate change impacts of fast-food menu items might lead people to choose less red meat. Eating too much red meat has been linked to many health problems. Eating less red meat would also help lower greenhouse gas emissions (排放). More than 5,000 participants were shown a sample menu and asked to choose a single item for dinner. One group of participants received a menu with non-red meat items such as chicken sandwiches labeled “low climate impact”. Another group received a menu with red meat items-burgers labeled “high climate impact”. A third control group received menus without climate labels. Both the high and low climate impact labels markedly reduced red meat choices compared to the control group. Menus with a high climate impact label on burgers increased non-beef choices by 23 percent compared to the control group. Menus that included low climate impact labels increased non-beef choices, such as a chicken sandwich or a salad, by about 10 percent more participants than those in the control group. “These results suggest that menu labeling, particularly labels warning that an item has high climate impact, can be an effective strategy for encouraging more sustainable (可持续的) food choices in a fast food setting”, says Wolfson. While encouraging on the whole, the results suggest that positive “low climate impact” labels are less effective in encouraging sustainable food choices compared to “high climate impact” labels. At the same time, climate labels may have the unwanted side effect of making a choice seem healthier than it actually is. “An undeserved health halo (光环) given to unhealthy menu items could encourage people to overeat them.” Wolfson says, “So we have to look for labeling strategies that create ‘win-wins’ for encouraging both more sustainable and healthy choices.” 1．What’s the aim of the new study? A．To encourage food choices without climate labels. B．To decide the best method for labeling food products in general. C．To discover the impact of climate labels on fast food choices. D．To find out the connection between red meat and health problems. 2．What is paragraph 3 mainly about? A．The results of the study. B．The importance of the study. C．The limitations of the study. D．The process of the study. 3．What side effect could climate labels cause? A．They may cause confusion among consumers. B．They may lead to an increase in vegetarian choices. C．They might result in people consuming more red meat. D．They could make a food item seem healthier than it is. 满分冲刺限时练5篇，建议用时30分钟，实际用时 分钟 Turkmenistan is a country in Central Asia, near Afghanistan and Iran. In Darvaza, one of its villages, there is a very interesting feature. It is a huge hole in the ground—about 20 metres (65 feet) deep and 60 metres (196 feet) across. The enormous pit (坑) has been on fire for more than 50 years. Why is the crater (坑) on fire? The most popular theory is that in 1971, a team of geologists from the then-Soviet Union were drilling in the country’s Karakum Desert to try to find gas. The ground under the drill collapsed and methane (甲烷) gas began to escape into the air. The geologists decided the safest thing to do was to burn off the gas by lighting it on fire. They thought the fire would burn for only a few weeks. However, it has been burning for more than 50 years. According to a BBC article, Canadian explorer George Kourounis discovered in 2013 that “no one actually knows how this came to be”. But, now the fire in the crater may finally come to an end. Turkmenistan’s president, Mr. Gurbanguly Berdimuhamedow, has asked scientists in the country to figure out how to put out the burning crater. He went on the country’s state-run television station on January 8 to encourage experts to find a way to stop the fire. One of the reasons he wants the crater to be put out is that the country can collect the gas that fuels (为……提供燃料) it. Gas is a very important and valuable resource and can be used for many purposes. If it’s just burning off, the gas cannot be used or sold. According to the website Vice.com, the crater sits on the fourth largest reserve of natural gas in the world. Another reason the president may want the crater put out is to stop the harmful effects, to humans and the environment, of the burning gas. 1．Why did the geologists light the crater? A．To test the quality of the gas. B．To burn off the underground gas. C．To prevent explosion of the gas. D．To stop the escape of the gas. 2．What does Turkmenistan’s president mainly hope to achieve by putting out the crater? A．To protect the crater. B．To find the reason for the fire. C．To seek help from the public. D．To make full use of the gas. 3．Which of the following can be the best title for the text? A．The Fire Crater May Soon Be Put Out B．A Peculiar Scenic Spot in Turkmenistan C．The Crater Burning for Fifty Years D．The Harmful Effects of the Burning Gas Do you have a long list of hobbies that light you up but find it hard to balance them all? You’re not alone! The real challenge isn’t having too many hobbies, but rather how you manage them. In this passage, we’ll share how to enjoy all your hobbies without burning yourself out. ●Focus on what you enjoy now. It’s not easy to follow every hobby at the same time. The key is to focus on the hobbies that can bring you the most joy and energy right now. For example, maybe this month you’re excited about photography, but next month, you might want to try cooking. By changing hobbies based on what excites you, you’ll stay interested and avoid burnout. ●Set a flexible schedule (灵活的时间表). A flexible schedule helps you stay organized without adding pressure. You can create time blocks, such as one evening for drawing and another for guitar practice. But remember to use your hobby schedule as a guide, not a strict rule. If one hobby catches your attention more than the others, feel free to give it more time. ● ▲ Why not get creative and combine your hobbies when possible? Some activities naturally go well together, allowing you to enjoy many interests. For example, if you love being outdoors and photography, take your camera with you when you go out. By doing this, you can enjoy the best of both worlds while keeping things fresh and exciting. ●Perfection is not necessary. When you have many interests, it’s easy to feel pressure to be good at all of them. But here’s the thing: hobbies are meant to be enjoyable, not stressful! You don’t need to be a professional artist, chef, or writer to benefit from your hobbies. Focus on the learning process and let go of the need to be perfect. It’s okay to be "just okay” at some things—what matters most is that they bring you joy. 1．What is the real challenge for people with too many hobbies? A．Managing hobbies well. B．Deciding which hobby to give up. C．Finding enough money for each hobby. D．Choosing which hobby to begin with. 2．Why is setting a flexible schedule suggested? A．It provides people with more time to try new hobbies. B．It helps people follow the schedule more easily. C．It gives people more chances to make friends. D．It allows people to enjoy hobbies more freely. 3．Which of the following can be put in ▲ ? A．Mix hobbies for more fun. B．Take up more hobbies. C．Turn a hobby into an action. D．Plan your trip ahead of time. 4．What would the writer most probably agree with? A．Focus on the hobbies that you spend the most time on. B．Remember to use your hobby schedule as a strict rule. C．If you enjoy your hobby, try to be a professional person. D．You can enjoy two hobbies at the same time. Carl Behnke, a food safety expert at Purdue University, had long been curious about the actual cleanliness of his reusable water bottle. He put paper towels into the bottle and, upon pulling them out, was shocked to see how dirty they turned out to be. This inspired him to design a study. Behnke and his workmates stopped passers-by along a road at Purdue University and asked if they would be happy to lend their water bottles to them as part of their research — to see how clean they were. “One thing that stood out from the project was the number of people who didn’t want to know the results,” recalls Behnke. “Basically, they knew that their cleaning habits were poor, with some even hardly thinking about cleaning their bottles.” Research shows that reusable water bottles can carry millions of bacteria (细菌). A study found that water in bottles used by adults went from about 75,000 bacteria per milliliter in the morning to over 1-2 million by the end of the day. Contamination (污染) often comes from the drinker’s hands, mouth, and the outside of the bottle. Those who don’t wash their hands regularly may introduce harmful germs like E. coli into their bottles. While most bacteria are harmless, they can put some people at risk, especially those with poor health. Besides, drinks that have sugar can feed bacteria, making the situation worse. Although there is a small chance that we get serious illnesses from reusable bottles, it’s still important to keep good hygiene (卫生). To cut down bacterial growth, it’s suggested to clean your water bottle regularly. Behnke’s research showed that people who used brushes or dishwashers had the lowest bacteria counts. People should clean their bottles with hot water and soap, letting the bottle sit under water for about ten minutes before washing. It’s important to let the bottle air-dry to prevent wetness buildup, which encourages bacteria. And proper handwashing before touching your clean bottle can also help cut down contamination. 1．Why does the writer mention the fact that Carl Behnke put paper towels into the bottle in the first paragraph? A．To lead in the study. B．To give a solution. C．To explain a subject. D．To tell a story. 2．What can be inferred about the people in the study according to Paragraph 2? A．They actively helped with the study. B．They thought the study was necessary. C．They were confident about the study results. D．They were clear they didn’t take good care of their bottles. 3．What’s a suggested way to reduce bacteria growth? A．Wiping with clean dry towels. B．Washing hands regularly with soap. C．Using brushes with hot soapy water. D．Washing for about ten minutes each time. 4．Which of the following best shows the structure of the passage? A． B． C． D． The 2026 Spring Festival Gala (春晚) has brought a big surprise to the world. Humanoid robots became the real stars of the night. Four top Chinese robot companies showed their cutting-edge products on the large stage. This amazing show not only pleased millions of people but also proved that China’s robot industry is moving fast from laboratories to our real lives. Unitree Technology, a famous name at the Gala, worked together with Henan Tagou Wushu School. They presented a wonderful kung fu arts program called Wu BOT. On the stage, the robots moved just like real kung fu masters. They performed very difficult moves without falling down. It was a perfect mix of traditional Chinese culture and modern technology. Last year, this company’s robots could only twirl handkerchiefs (转手帕) and dance Yangko. Another company, Maoiclub, brought another kind of panda robots. These robots can walk smoothly and avoid knocking into things by themselves. They look like real cute pandas. This company also created the robots which could even boil noodles and serve the people. At the same time, Galbot’s robots caught everyone’s eyes. They are very smart because they can make their own decisions and even have a short, funny chat with the hosts. The robots made by Noetix Robotics can keep the elderly company and even do some housework for people in homes. Experts call 2026 the “first year of humanoid robots”. These stage stars show China’s great technological progress. They make it possible for robots to enter our homes and help us with daily chores in the near future. The dream of living with robots is coming true. 1．How many companies showed their robots at the 2026 Spring Festival Gala? A．Three. B．Four. C．Five.

Viktor Frankl, the author of Man’s Search for Meaning, once wrote, “Everything can be taken from a person but one thing: the last of human freedoms—to choose one’s attitude in any given set of circumstances.” Frankl was right. Attitude is a choice. You could be faced with a thousand problems, many or most over which you have absolutely no control. However, there is always one thing you are in complete and absolute control of and that is your own attitude. To be honest, it wasn’t until I was in my late 20s that I finally understood its full impact. All through my teens and into my early adult life, I can’t tell you the number of times that I heard, “Bob, if you’d just change your attitude, you would do a lot better.” At that time, I didn’t know what attitude was, let alone know how to change it! Attitude and results are inseparable. They follow one another as night follows day. One is the cause, while the other, the result. There is a term we use to distinguish this “cause and effect” relationship, which is called the Law of Cause and Effect. Simply stated, if you think in negative terms, you will get negative results; if you think in positive terms, you will achieve positive results. Some people always see wrong things in the world. These individuals are quick to blame circumstances or other people for their problems, rather than accepting responsibility for their life and their attitude. Thus, it would appear as if they were born with bad luck and it has followed them around their whole life. However, there are others who are forever winning and living the good life. They are the real movers and shakers who make things happen. They seem to go from one major accomplishment to another. They’re in control of their life. Their wins are a matter of choice. You can experience that kind of life as well, you only need to decide. Dorothea Brande once said, “Act as if it were impossible to fail,” and I challenge you to do so. By simply becoming aware that you can choose your thoughts each and every day, you will change your entire outlook. You have the power to choose an abundant life no matter what your circumstances are. Don’t wait to experience all the wonderful things the universe has in store for you. Start today by working on your attitude and welcome the abundant life that you are meant to lead. 1．Why does the writer use the example of himself in Paragraph 2? A．To prove attitude changes on its own. B．To show attitude is important to the old. C．To prove the author himself was very stubborn. D．To show that understanding one’s attitude takes time. 2．What can we learn from the Law of Cause and Effect? A．Luck and chance also play an incredibly important role in the results we get. B．Our attitude plays an important role in determining the outcomes we experience. C．Blaming external circumstances can actually bring benefits to our mental health. D．Negative attitudes may occasionally bring positive results due to external factors. 3．What is the writer’s attitude towards those who believe in the power of positive mindsets (心态)? A．Supportive. B．Objective. C．Doubtful. D．Negative. 2 迎战新中考，备考有方向，冲刺有重点！ 1 迎战新中考，备考有方向，冲刺有重点！ 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
