The club meets every Thursday after school to solve mini-mysteries around campus. Last month, they solved their first real case the mystery of the stolen basketball. The school’s best basketball went missing from the sports room. The club members, Ling, Mei, and Alex, used simple detective methods to solve the case. First, they made a list of suspects: the sports teacher, the basketball team captain, and the janitor. Then they looked for evidence. Near the sports room, Ling found orange paint marks on the ground. Mei noticed that only the basketball team captain had orange paint on his shoes that day—from painting lines on the court earlier. When they asked him about the basketball, he confessed immediately. He had “borrowed” it for extra practice over the weekend and forgot to return it. He was embarrassed and apologized. The club’s advisor, Ms. Wang, said, “These activities help students develop logical thinking and observation skills. They learn that being a detective isn’t just about exciting chases—it’s about paying attention to details and thinking step by step.” Now the club has ten members and is working on a new case: mysterious messages appearing on the classroom whiteboard every morning. Who is writing them and why? The investigation continues. 1．What was stolen in their first case? A．A computer. B．A basketball. C．Homework papers. D．A wallet. 2．What evidence helped solve the case? A．A fingerprint. B．A security camera video. C．A torn piece of paper. D．Orange paint marks. 3．Why did the person take the basketball? A．To sell it. B．For extra practice. C．As a joke. D．By accident. 【答案】1．B 2．D 3．B 【导语】本文介绍了南京一所中学里的“青少年侦探俱乐部”，重点介绍了他们的第一个重大案件——篮球被盗案。 1．根据第二段“Last month, they solved their first real case the mystery of the stolen basketball.”，他们的第一个案件是被盗窃的篮球。 2．根据第三段“Near the sports room, Ling found orange paint marks on the ground. Mei noticed that only the basketball team captain had orange paint on his shoes that day—from painting lines on the court earlier.”，橙色的油漆印帮助确定了嫌疑人。 3．根据第四段“He had ‘borrowed’ it for extra practice over the weekend and forgot to return it.”，拿走篮球的人是为了额外的练习。 Jack Jackson was a normal boy who liked playing baseball with his friends. Not many people knew that his big brother was Ernie Jackson, the famous reporter for the Calgary Times. One Saturday, Ernie told Jack that he was investigating (调查) a very difficult case and that he was worried he couldn’t solve it. The case was about Modeline Mulrooney, the richest woman in Calgary. Her diamond ring was missing. “She thinks her swimming coach took it,” Ernie said. “However, he says he hasn’t stolen anything. I’m not sure who to believe.” “I’ll help you,” said Jack. “Let’s interview Mrs. Mulrooney together.” The brothers went to Mrs. Mulrooney’s home. Mrs. Mulrooney explained what happened. She said that she always put her ring on the coffee table before she swam in her pool. “The water in the pool isn’t good for my ring, and it also dries my skin,” she said. “I always put on hand cream and wear cotton gloves to bed.” “Where are the gloves now?” Jack asked. “I throw them away each morning,” she said, pointing to a rubbish bin. Jack rushed over to the bin. He searched through it and pulled out many gloves. Carefully, he felt each one, and then he smiled. “Your ring is right here,” said Jack. “The cream was slippery, so your ring came off with this glove. You only noticed it after swimming.” “You solved the case?” shouted Ernie. “You’re my hero!” said Mrs. Mulrooney. The next day, the headline of the Calgary Times read, “Young Reporter Discovers Missing Diamond!” Jack celebrated by playing baseball with his friends. However, he wondered if there were any more cases to solve. 1．Why did Mrs. Mulrooney take off her ring before swimming? A．She was afraid to lose her ring. B．The coach warned her not to wear it. C．She planned to put it with her gloves. D．The water might do harm to her ring. 2．What does “slippery” mean in this story? A．Dry and very hard to move. B．Heavy and thick, like the glue. C．Smooth and easy to fall off. D．Shiny and bright, like a diamond. 3．What’s the CORRECT order of the story? ① The woman went swimming as usual. ② Jack asked the woman about her daily habit. ③ Jack learned about the case from his brother. ④ The woman wore gloves before going to bed. A．①-④-②-③ B．③-②-①-④ C．①-④-③-② D．③-②-④-① 4．What’s the best title for the story? A．A Stolen Diamond Ring B．A Careful Clue Finder C．A Guilty Swimming Coach D．A Boy’s Lucky Discovery 【答案】1．D 2．C 3．C 4．B 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，讲述了普通男孩Jack帮助记者哥哥侦破钻石戒指失踪案的故事。通过细心观察和推理，Jack在垃圾桶中找到戒指，最终成为“小侦探”。 1．第五段Mrs. Mulrooney的原话“The water in the pool isn’t good for my ring”直接说明她取下戒指是因为泳池的水可能对戒指造成损害。 2．根据上下文，Mrs. Mulrooney游泳后会涂护手霜并戴手套睡觉，Jack在手套中找到了戒指，因此“slippery”在此处意为“光滑的，容易滑落的”。 3．根据故事脉络，发展顺序为：Mrs. Mulrooney像往常一样去游泳（①），游泳后她戴手套睡觉（④），Jack从哥哥那里得知案件（③），随后Jack开展调查询问她日常习惯（②）。这一顺序符合事件发生的自然逻辑：戒指是在游泳时滑落的，因此“去游泳”和“戴手套”这两个动作先发生；之后Jack才从哥哥那里听说案件，并上门调查询问细节。 4．全文围绕Jack通过细心观察并检查手套找到戒指展开，B项“细心的线索发现者”准确概括了故事核心。 When 15-year-old Li Yu first joined the school’s robot club, he never thought he would win a national award. But last month, he and his team won the first prize in the National Teenagers Robot Competition with their “smart home robot”. Li Yu’s robot can do many useful things for families. It can clean the floor automatically, remind the elderly to take medicine on time, and even help children with their homework. “We got the idea from my grandma,” Li Yu said. “My grandma lives alone, and my parents are always worried about her. So we wanted to make a robot that can take care of the elderly.” Building the robot was not easy. The team spent six months preparing for the competition. They met many problems along the way. For example, the robot often lost its way when cleaning. To solve this problem, they added a camera and a GPS module to the robot. With these devices, the robot can map the room and move around without getting lost. Another problem was the robot’s battery (电池) life. At first, the robot could only work for 30 minutes. The team tried different kinds of batteries and finally found a high-capacity battery that can last for 2 hours. “We also asked our science teacher for help. He gave us a lot of useful advice on circuit design,” Li Yu said. Winning the award made Li Yu and his team very excited. “This experience taught me that teamwork is very important. We couldn’t have won without each other’s help,” Li Yu said. He also hopes to continue studying robotics and make more useful robots in the future. 1．What can we infer about the inspiration for the “smart home robot”? A．It came from the team’s dream to win the national competition. B．It was based on the actual needs of daily life. C．It was suggested by their science teacher. D．It came from Li Yu’s interest in robots. 2．What does the team’s solution to the robot’s problems show? A．They were good at using technology to solve practical problems. B．They gave up easily when facing difficulties at first. C．Their science teacher did most of the work for them. D．The problems were too simple for the team to solve. 3．Which of the following best describes Li Yu’s feeling after winning the award? A．He only felt proud of his own contribution to the team. B．He realized the importance of teamwork and looked forward to future efforts. C．He thought winning the award was the most important thing. D．He decided to stop studying robotics after this success. 4．What can we get from Li Yu’s team’s experience? A．Winning a national award is easy with a good idea. B．Teamwork and persistence are key to solving problems and achieving success. C．Science teachers are the only ones who can help with robot making. D．The “smart home robot” has no room for improvement. 【答案】1．B 2．A 3．B 4．B 【导语】本文讲述了15岁的李宇和团队基于“照顾独居奶奶”的实际需求，制作“智能家庭机器人”，克服了迷路、电池续航等技术问题，最终获得全国青少年机器人竞赛一等奖的经历；李宇在过程中体会到团队合作的重要性，并希望继续研究机器人技术。 1．推理判断题。根据“My grandma lives alone, and my parents are always worried about her.

He has taken his own journey into programming and artificial intelligence (人工智能) without any traditional education in the subjects. His interest in coding began in the third grade when he won first place in a contest. This experience made him excited about coding, leading him to compete in the first Huian County Robotics Competition. “Wanting to learn more, I started studying programming on my own by buying books,” Chen said. He began with graphical programming and quickly moved on to languages like C and Java. When generative AI became popular, Chen found new ways to use AI for different tasks, like writing articles and planning class activities. “For math problems, I asked AI for step-by-step solutions,” he shared. One of Chen’s biggest achievements is an evaluation system he created for his mother, a primary school teacher. This system creates comments for students based on certain keywords. It picks the right words to create clear evaluations, saving his mother time and effort. Looking ahead, Chen wants to develop AI software that talks with users. “It would start conversations, greet users when they turn on their computers and offer help,” he said. However, creating such a system is challenging, especially when trying to figure out how to communicate without being annoying. 1．How did Chen start learning programming? A．He joined clubs. B．He attended courses. C．His mother taught him. D．He started learning by himself. 2．Which of the following is the correct order of Chen’s learning experiences? a. He came first in a contest in the third grade. b. He used AI for different tasks like maths problems. c. He took part in the first Huian County Robotics Competition. d.

He began with graphical programming and quickly moved on to languages like C and Java...For math problems, I asked AI for step-by-step solutions...One of Chen’s biggest achievements is an evaluation system he created for his mother”可知，他的学习经历依次为三年级得了第一，参加第一届惠安县机器人比赛，买书学图形化编程及C语言、Java，用AI做数学题等任务，给妈妈设计评价系统，对应a-c-e-b-d。故选D。 3．观点态度题。根据最后一段可知，Chen想开发能与用户对话的AI软件，可主动问候、提供帮助；但开发这样的系统很有挑战性。故选B。 It’s never too early to start doing good deeds for others. A kindhearted 9-year-old boy Pavel shows that an early age can do more to uplift others. He decided that he would take up the cause of helping animals. Pavel had this wonderful idea for helping animals when his family lost one of their own pets, which hit the family quite hard. He also began to care about the situation of stray (流浪的) animals in the city. In order to help the stray animals, he set up a project called Kind Paintbrush. In this project, Pavel uses his talent to achieve his goal. There is only one animal shelter (收容所) in the town, and Pavel is its youngest volunteer. To support the animal shelter, Pavel draws pet pictures to exchange for animal food, which are donated to the local shelter. He always hopes to meet the owners of the pets, and he knows each name of the pets he has painted. He is often touched by stories of pets that have been saved, which makes him even more motivated to paint and help more animals. This amazing project has already grown beyond the town. Pavel has influenced the people outside the town. They either use their own talents to exchange for animal food or pay for more animal supplies. “I’m happy we can make a difference to the lives of animals who are in need of help. Everyone can do something for the stray animals, such as volunteering at the animal shelters to help clean the animal living spaces, adopting (领养) one instead of buying one, and educating others about the importance of animal protection,” said Pavel.

Everyone in the village had jobs to do, and the villagers depended on one another. When Adana turned ten, her mother called for her. “Adana, it is time for you to take your place in the village. You shall be the water girl. Each morning we need you to go down to the spring, fill these buckets with water, and bring them back to the village before noon.” Adana felt proud of being given such an important job. She picked up the yoke (扁担) with the buckets, flung it over her back and walked to the spring. When she arrived, she took a drink and then filled the buckets with clean, cool water. Adana looked at the sun. It was nearly noon, and she knew the villagers were depending on her. She turned to a water girl from a nearby village and asked, “How long will it take to carry water back to my village?” The girl thoughtfully replied, “If you go slowly, it will not take very long. But, if you go fast, it will take you all day.” Adana listened and thought about what the girl had told her. She did not believe the girl and she climbed back up the bank and headed down to the path toward her village. Adana started off slowly but increased her speed with each step. Soon, she was slowly jogging back toward her village. Halfway home, she stopped to take a little sip of water. When she did, she saw that the buckets were only half full. Water had been sloshing (撒出) out along the path as she travelled. Disheartened (沮丧的), Adana turned back toward the spring. Once again. She filled the buckets with nice, clean water. Then, she walked slowly back toward the village. When she arrived, her little sister asked, “How long does it take to carry water back from the spring?” Adana smiled and said, “If you go slowly, it will not take very long. But if you go fast, it could take all day.” Adana’s little sister listened, but thought this was a strange thing to say. From that day forward, Adana walked quickly to the spring each morning. On her way home, she walked slowly and carefully. 1．How did Adana feel when her mother gave her the job? A．She was too afraid to walk to the spring on her own. B．She was worried about the time she spent on the job. C．She felt curious about what might happen on the way. D．She felt a strong sense of duty to take on the challenge. 2．In which order did the following events happen according to the story? ① Adana shared her new understanding of the job with her sister. ② Adana’s mother calls for her to take on a daily job for their village. ③ Adana received an important piece of advice from another water girl. ④ Adana found the water half gone and had to go back to restart her job A．②①④③ B．②③④① C．③②④① D．③④①② 3．Why did Adana’s little sister think her sister’s answer was strange? A．Because Adana usually ran very fast. B．Because the job is harder than she thought. C．Because it was the opposite of common sense. D．Because her sister had never been to the spring. 4．What can we learn from the story? A．Helping others is the key to a happy life B．The first method you try is usually the best one. C．Patience and care sometimes lead to better results. D．New duties are always challenging at the beginning. 【答案】1．D 2．B 3．C 4．C 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。主要讲述了非洲小女孩Adana被委任为村里的“取水女孩”后，在第一次取水途中因走得太快导致水洒出，不得不返回重新取水，最终领悟到“欲速则不达”的道理，并将这个经验分享给妹妹的故事。 1．第三段提到“Adana felt proud of being given such an important job.”，并且她知道村民们都指望着她，这说明她对这份职责有着强烈的使命感。 2．故事顺序如下：先是妈妈叫Adana去承担取水工作（②）；接着她在泉水边遇到另一个取水女孩，得到了重要的建议（③）；然后她尝试快走回家，却发现水洒了一半，不得不返回重新取水（④）；最后她把自己的新领悟告诉了妹妹（①）。正确顺序为②③④①。 3．最后一段Adana告诉妹妹“If you go slowly, it will not take very long. But if you go fast, it could take all day.”，这与常理“走得快就更省时”相反，因此妹妹觉得奇怪。 4．Adana通过亲身经历明白了，看似慢的走路方式反而能更快完成任务，而一味求快却导致水洒、返工，耗时更长。这个故事告诉我们耐心和谨慎有时能带来更好的结果。 Long ago, China was divided into kingdoms (战国). The kingdoms were often at war, so good military leaders were important. One such leader was Tian Ji, a general in the State of Qi. Tian Ji’s best friend was Sun Bin. Sun Bin had been a military official in the State of Wei. After he was unfairly fired from his job, he moved to the State of Qi. Sun Bin taught Tian Ji a lot about military strategy. At that time, horse racing was the most popular entertainment for the rich. People bet money on the races. Tian Ji was a fan of horse racing, but he wasn’t very good at betting. One day, Tian Ji again lost money at the races. He went home feeling sorry for himself. When Sun Bin saw how sad Tian Ji was, he said, “Take me with you next time. Maybe I can help you win!” A week later, Tian Ji did just that. Sun Bin learned how the races worked very quickly. He saw that the horses were divided into three types according to speed. First-class horses were the fastest, and third-class horses were the slowest. Each type had their own race and people bet on each race. In order to win the overall bet, a person only needed to win two of the three races. Sun Bin also noticed that each type had a different saddle color. This was to tell the different horses apart. Soon, Sun Bin developed a strategy to help Tian Ji. “Trust me,” he told Tian Ji. “I know exactly how you can win!” Tian Ji got so excited he challenged the king to a race. Tian Ji did everything that Sun Bin told him to do. For the first race, he put the first-class saddle on his third-class horse. The king’s first-class horse easily beat Tian Ji’s third-class horse. For the second race, Sun Bin told Tian Ji to put the second-class saddle on his first-class horse. And sure enough, Tian Ji won the second race. His first-class horse was better than the king’s second-class horse. Finally, for the third race, Tian Ji used his second-class horse. Once again, he won. This time it was against the king’s third-class horse. The king was shocked. Tian Ji was the overall winner. The king congratulated Tian Ji, but he was curious. “Tian Ji, where did you get such good horses?” he asked. “Your Majesty,” Tian Ji replied, “I did not win because I found great horses. I won because of the strategy I used. It was Sun Bin’s strategy, and it worked!” “Really?” said the king. “What exactly was this strategy?” Tian Ji told the king all about how he switched horses. He explained how Sun Bin knew that even when two opponents were unevenly matched, a strategy could be used to minimize losses. In this case, losing only once meant that Tian Ji was still the overall winner. Hearing this, the king immediately made Sun Bin the military adviser for the whole army. Sun Bin’s strategies and Tian Ji’s leadership led the State of Qi to many military victories. 1．What’s “kingdom” mean? A．People are fighting in the war. B．Rulers are killing people.

I found him talking with a visitor—a large man with a kind, red face and red hair. When I walked in, the visitor stood up quickly to leave. “Please don’t go on my account,” I said. “No, Dr. Watson, please stay,” said Holmes. “This is Dr. James Mortimer. Dr. Mortimer, this is my friend Dr. Watson, who helps me with many cases.” After Dr. Mortimer left, Holmes picked up a walking stick the visitor had forgotten. He smiled and handed it to me. “Well, Watson, look at this stick. What can you tell me about the man who owns it? Let’s hear your ideas before I tell you mine.” I took the stick. It was a good, strong piece of wood. Near the top was a wide silver ring. Words were cut into the silver: “To James Mortimer, from his friends at the hospital. 1884.” I thought for a moment. “It seems Dr. Mortimer is a country doctor,” I said. “He is probably older and successful. His friends gave him this stick years ago, so he must be well-liked.” “Good!” said Holmes. “You see some things. But look closer. Do you see these marks here?” He pointed to some lines on the stick. “They look like...bite marks?” I asked. Exactly! They are teeth marks from a dog. The marks are deep, so the dog had strong jaws—a big dog. But the marks are not very deep all around, so the dog was playing, not fighting. The doctor has a large, friendly dog, I think.” I was surprised. I had not noticed the marks at all. Holmes continued. “Now, the words on the silver ring tell us he got this stick when he finished his studies in 1884. It is now many years later, but the stick is still in good condition. If he walked very long distances every day, the stick would be more worn. So, he is a country doctor who visits patients nearby or uses a horse for long trips.” “What else?” I asked, feeling impressed. “He forgot his stick,” said Holmes. “A man does not forget something he uses every day unless he is thinking very hard about something else. He seemed nervous when he left. I believe he came to ask for my help with a strange and serious problem. He saw you, a stranger, and decided to leave and think about it more.” Just then, the door opened. Dr. Mortimer came back in, looking worried. “I am so sorry,” he said. “I forgot my walking stick.” “Of course,” said Holmes, giving it to him. “I hope your dog is well, Doctor?” Dr. Mortimer’s eyes opened wide. “How did you know about my dog? He is at home today!” “Your stick told me,” said Holmes calmly. “Now, I think you came back not only for the stick, but because you want to talk about your problem. Please, sit down. Tell us your story from the beginning.” Dr. Mortimer sat down and began to tell a strange and frightening story about a family named Baskerville and a mysterious death on the moors—a case that would become one of our most famous adventures together. 1．What was the main clue Holmes used to know about Dr. Mortimer’s dog? A．The date “1884” on the stick. B．The words “from his friends.” C．The bite marks on the walking stick. D．The doctor’s wide silver ring. 2．What did Holmes think about how Dr. Mortimer traveled for work? A．He walked very long distances every day. B．He might use a horse for long visits. C．He only visits patients far away. D．He took a train for a long trip. 3．Why did Holmes think Dr. Mortimer had a serious problem? A．Because Dr. Mortimer looked very rich and had a wide silver ring. B．Because Dr. Mortimer forgot his stick and seemed nervous. C．Because Dr. Mortimer’s stick was bitten by his dog. D．Because Dr. Mortimer’s dog was ill. 4．What is the main purpose of this story? A．To describe how to solve the case. B．To show how Holmes uses observation to learn about people. C．To tell a funny story about Dr. Mortimer and his dog. D．To explain what serious problem a country doctor had. 【答案】1．C 2．B 3．B 4．B 【导语】本文讲述华生拜访福尔摩斯，两人通过一根遗落的手杖推理出主人的诸多信息，展现福尔摩斯超强的观察与推理能力。 1．第九段分析：“They are teeth marks from a dog.

Some students got sick with stomach aches after eating at school, but it was very confusing. Students from different schools, who ate different foods from different kitchens, fell ill on different days. The usual way of finding the cause—looking for one bad ingredient or one dirty kitchen—did not work. The problem was solved in a new way. A team was formed with health checkers and computer experts from a local company. The big change happened when the team leader, Mr. Chen, had a new idea. He thought the problem might not be a thing, but a person—someone who delivered food to many school kitchens. His team used different sets of computer information: records of food delivery trucks around the city, digital reports of kitchen cleanliness, and records of what ingredients schools bought. They used special computer programs to look for hidden connections in all this information. It was like trying to find one special leaf in a huge forest. The computer program first looked for patterns in time and place. It checked every delivery truck’s route, every kitchen’s cleanliness score, and every box of food against the time and place where students got sick. After three days, the computer found something interesting. It showed one cold-storage delivery truck that had visited every school kitchen where students got sick, and it was always there within two days before the sickness. But the truck’s list showed it was only delivering safe things like oil or paper boxes, not the food that made students sick. Now, human cleverness joined with the computer’s finding. Health checkers, with this new clue, made a surprise visit to check that truck and its driver. They found a serious problem: the truck’s cooling machine had been broken for weeks, but the driver was afraid to tell his boss. On his delivery trips, he was also secretly running his own small business. He was making milk desserts at home and selling them to small restaurants without a license. These desserts went bad because they were not kept cold enough in his broken truck. The driver used the same dirty hands and tools to handle both his illegal desserts and the school deliveries, so germs spread to the school food. This case was solved not by asking people what they saw, but by finding a hidden pattern in everyday information. “We started by looking for a pattern in the normal life of the city, not for a person,” explained Mr. Chen. This new kind of “digital detective work” shows that today’s investigators need to understand both science and computers. After this, Nanjing’s education department started a new computer system to track every step of school food, from the farm to the lunch plate, making it safer and easier to check if problems happen. 1．Why was this food problem so “confusing” and difficult to solve at first? A．Because too many students got sick at the same time. B．Because there was no clear single source. C．Because the school kitchens were all very dirty. D．Because the driver did not tell the truth when asked. 2．What new idea did Mr. Chen’s team try? A．The cause was a strong cleaning chemical. B．The source might be a person who went to many schools. C．They developed a new technology to investigate different students. D．They decided to use computer information to work out why the students were sick. 3．What key clue did the computer program find? A．A broken cooling machine in a delivery truck. B．A driver who was running an illegal dessert business. C．A delivery truck that visited all the sick schools. D．A driver and tools that spread germs to the school food. 4．What big change did this case lead to? A．The city started using computers to follow school food from the beginning to the end. B．They made a new rule that all food delivery trucks must be checked every day. C．They decided to stop buying food from outside and only use school kitchens. D．The investigators and computer experts decided to work together forever. 【答案】1．B 2．B 3．C 4．A 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，讲述了南京多所中学学生出现腹痛症状，传统方法无法找到病因，最终通过结合计算机数据分析和人工调查，发现是一名送货司机的违规操作导致病菌传播，并推动了校园食品全程追溯系统的建立。 1．第一段“Students from different schools, who ate different foods from different kitchens, fell ill on different days. The usual way of finding the cause—looking for one bad ingredient or one dirty kitchen—did not work”表明，问题混乱且难以解决的原因是没有明确的单一源头。 2．第二段“He thought the problem might not be a thing, but a person—someone who delivered food to many school kitchens.”说明了陈先生团队的新想法：病因可能是一个给多所学校送餐的人。 3．第三段“After three days, the computer found something interesting. It showed one cold-storage delivery truck that had visited every school kitchen where students got sick, and it was always there within two days before the sickness”表明计算机程序找到的关键线索是一辆去过所有生病学校的冷藏配送卡车。 4．最后一段“After this, Nanjing’s education department started a new computer system to track every step of school food, from the farm to the lunch plate, making it safer and easier to check if problems happen.”表明这个案件带来的重大改变是南京教育部门启用了新的计算机系统，全程追溯校园食品从农场到餐盘的每一步。 试卷第1页，共3页 试卷第1页，共3页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 专题07 阅读理解之记叙文10篇 （南京专用） 内容导航 内容速递 基础语篇练习 重难语篇练习 内容速递 本资料共10篇专项训练 基础语篇练习 稳扎稳打 必拿分数：聚焦稳拿分数题目，确保基础分值 重难语篇练习 突破瓶颈 争夺高分：聚焦高难度题目，争夺关键分数 基础语篇练习 In a Nanjing middle school, a group of students formed the “Teen Detective Club” after being inspired by their English textbook’s detective stories unit. The club meets every Thursday after school to solve mini-mysteries around campus. Last month, they solved their first real case the mystery of the stolen basketball. The school’s best basketball went missing from the sports room. The club members, Ling, Mei, and Alex, used simple detective methods to solve the case. First, they made a list of suspects: the sports teacher, the basketball team captain, and the janitor. Then they looked for evidence. Near the sports room, Ling found orange paint marks on the ground. Mei noticed that only the basketball team captain had orange paint on his shoes that day—from painting lines on the court earlier. When they asked him about the basketball, he confessed immediately. He had “borrowed” it for extra practice over the weekend and forgot to return it. He was embarrassed and apologized. The club’s advisor, Ms. Wang, said, “These activities help students develop logical thinking and observation skills. They learn that being a detective isn’t just about exciting chases—it’s about paying attention to details and thinking step by step.” Now the club has ten members and is working on a new case: mysterious messages appearing on the classroom whiteboard every morning. Who is writing them and why? The investigation continues. 1．What was stolen in their first case? A．A computer. B．A basketball. C．Homework papers. D．A wallet. 2．What evidence helped solve the case? A．A fingerprint. B．A security camera video. C．A torn piece of paper. D．Orange paint marks. 3．Why did the person take the basketball? A．To sell it. B．For extra practice. C．As a joke. D．By accident. Jack Jackson was a normal boy who liked playing baseball with his friends. Not many people knew that his big brother was Ernie Jackson, the famous reporter for the Calgary Times. One Saturday, Ernie told Jack that he was investigating (调查) a very difficult case and that he was worried he couldn’t solve it. The case was about Modeline Mulrooney, the richest woman in Calgary. Her diamond ring was missing. “She thinks her swimming coach took it,” Ernie said. “However, he says he hasn’t stolen anything. I’m not sure who to believe.” “I’ll help you,” said Jack. “Let’s interview Mrs. Mulrooney together.” The brothers went to Mrs. Mulrooney’s home. Mrs. Mulrooney explained what happened. She said that she always put her ring on the coffee table before she swam in her pool. “The water in the pool isn’t good for my ring, and it also dries my skin,” she said. “I always put on hand cream and wear cotton gloves to bed.” “Where are the gloves now?” Jack asked. “I throw them away each morning,” she said, pointing to a rubbish bin. Jack rushed over to the bin. He searched through it and pulled out many gloves. Carefully, he felt each one, and then he smiled. “Your ring is right here,” said Jack. “The cream was slippery, so your ring came off with this glove. You only noticed it after swimming.” “You solved the case?” shouted Ernie. “You’re my hero!” said Mrs. Mulrooney. The next day, the headline of the Calgary Times read, “Young Reporter Discovers Missing Diamond!” Jack celebrated by playing baseball with his friends. However, he wondered if there were any more cases to solve. 1．Why did Mrs. Mulrooney take off her ring before swimming? A．She was afraid to lose her ring. B．The coach warned her not to wear it.

But last month, he and his team won the first prize in the National Teenagers Robot Competition with their “smart home robot”. Li Yu’s robot can do many useful things for families. It can clean the floor automatically, remind the elderly to take medicine on time, and even help children with their homework. “We got the idea from my grandma,” Li Yu said. “My grandma lives alone, and my parents are always worried about her. So we wanted to make a robot that can take care of the elderly.” Building the robot was not easy. The team spent six months preparing for the competition. They met many problems along the way. For example, the robot often lost its way when cleaning. To solve this problem, they added a camera and a GPS module to the robot. With these devices, the robot can map the room and move around without getting lost. Another problem was the robot’s battery (电池) life. At first, the robot could only work for 30 minutes. The team tried different kinds of batteries and finally found a high-capacity battery that can last for 2 hours. “We also asked our science teacher for help. He gave us a lot of useful advice on circuit design,” Li Yu said. Winning the award made Li Yu and his team very excited. “This experience taught me that teamwork is very important. We couldn’t have won without each other’s help,” Li Yu said. He also hopes to continue studying robotics and make more useful robots in the future. 1．What can we infer about the inspiration for the “smart home robot”? A．It came from the team’s dream to win the national competition. B．It was based on the actual needs of daily life. C．It was suggested by their science teacher. D．It came from Li Yu’s interest in robots. 2．What does the team’s solution to the robot’s problems show? A．They were good at using technology to solve practical problems. B．They gave up easily when facing difficulties at first. C．Their science teacher did most of the work for them. D．The problems were too simple for the team to solve. 3．Which of the following best describes Li Yu’s feeling after winning the award? A．He only felt proud of his own contribution to the team. B．He realized the importance of teamwork and looked forward to future efforts. C．He thought winning the award was the most important thing. D．He decided to stop studying robotics after this success. 4．What can we get from Li Yu’s team’s experience? A．Winning a national award is easy with a good idea. B．Teamwork and persistence are key to solving problems and achieving success. C．Science teachers are the only ones who can help with robot making. D．The “smart home robot” has no room for improvement. On Saturday morning, every boy in town was happy, except Tom Sawyer. Tom’s aunt gave him the task of painting their fence. It was 30 yards long and 3 yards high. He painted one board and surveyed his progress, and then he sat down to have a rest. Tom began to think of the games that he wanted to play. He knew the boys who were free would soon come along and make fun of him. Just then, he had an idea. He picked up his brush and went back to work. Ben Rogers came along the road. He was singing happily and carrying an apple. “I’m going swimming,” said Ben. “Do you want to come? Oh, you have to work, don’t you? What a pity!” “Work?” said Tom. “This isn’t work. I’m enjoying myself. Does a boy get a chance to paint a fence like this every day?” Then he went on painting. Ben watched Tom in silence. He became more and more interested. After a while, he said, “Tom, will you let me do some painting?” Tom said, “No, Ben, I can’t. Aunt Polly warned me to do it well. I’m the only person that can do it right.” “Oh, please, Tom,” said Ben. “I can do it. I’ll be really careful. I’ll give you half my apple. Wait, I’ll give you all of it.” “That’s a deal,” said Tom. “But you must be careful.” Tom gave Ben his brush with worry on his face but joy in his heart. He sat down again and started to eat the apple. When Ben got tired, Billy Fisher was walking. He gave Tom a kite for the chance to paint. Then Johnny Miller offered him two toy soldiers.

Chen Junhang, a 15-year-old student at Huian No.3 Middle School in Fujian, learns programming (编程) to make the lives of others easier. He has taken his own journey into programming and artificial intelligence (人工智能) without any traditional education in the subjects. His interest in coding began in the third grade when he won first place in a contest. This experience made him excited about coding, leading him to compete in the first Huian County Robotics Competition. “Wanting to learn more, I started studying programming on my own by buying books,” Chen said. He began with graphical programming and quickly moved on to languages like C and Java. When generative AI became popular, Chen found new ways to use AI for different tasks, like writing articles and planning class activities. “For math problems, I asked AI for step-by-step solutions,” he shared. One of Chen’s biggest achievements is an evaluation system he created for his mother, a primary school teacher. This system creates comments for students based on certain keywords. It picks the right words to create clear evaluations, saving his mother time and effort. Looking ahead, Chen wants to develop AI software that talks with users. “It would start conversations, greet users when they turn on their computers and offer help,” he said. However, creating such a system is challenging, especially when trying to figure out how to communicate without being annoying. 1．How did Chen start learning programming? A．He joined clubs. B．He attended courses. C．His mother taught him. D．He started learning by himself. 2．Which of the following is the correct order of Chen’s learning experiences? a. He came first in a contest in the third grade. b. He used AI for different tasks like maths problems. c. He took part in the first Huian County Robotics Competition. d. He designed an evaluation system for his mother to save her time and effort. e. He bought books to learn graphical programming as well as languages like C and Java. A．c-e-a-b-d B．c-a-e-d-b C．a-e-c-d-b D．a-c-e-b-d 3．What does the writer think of Chen’s plan to develop new AI software? A．Useless but powerful. B．Difficult but helpful. C．Impossible but interesting. D．Boring but necessary. It’s never too early to start doing good deeds for others. A kindhearted 9-year-old boy Pavel shows that an early age can do more to uplift others. He decided that he would take up the cause of helping animals. Pavel had this wonderful idea for helping animals when his family lost one of their own pets, which hit the family quite hard. He also began to care about the situation of stray (流浪的) animals in the city. In order to help the stray animals, he set up a project called Kind Paintbrush. In this project, Pavel uses his talent to achieve his goal. There is only one animal shelter (收容所) in the town, and Pavel is its youngest volunteer. To support the animal shelter, Pavel draws pet pictures to exchange for animal food, which are donated to the local shelter. He always hopes to meet the owners of the pets, and he knows each name of the pets he has painted. He is often touched by stories of pets that have been saved, which makes him even more motivated to paint and help more animals. This amazing project has already grown beyond the town. Pavel has influenced the people outside the town. They either use their own talents to exchange for animal food or pay for more animal supplies. “I’m happy we can make a difference to the lives of animals who are in need of help. Everyone can do something for the stray animals, such as volunteering at the animal shelters to help clean the animal living spaces, adopting (领养) one instead of buying one, and educating others about the importance of animal protection,” said Pavel. Pavel’s dreams for the future are still tied to helping animals. He plans to become an architect when he grows up and build a big animal shelter. But for now, he will do as much as he can with his art and love for animals. 1．What encouraged Pavel to start the project Kind Paintbrush? A．The loss of a pet in Pavel’s family. B．An invitation from a local animal shelter. C．His strong wish to win an art competition. D．A school activity about community service. 2．What do you know about Kind Paintbrush according to the passage? A．Volunteers mainly help by donating money. B．There are some volunteers younger than Pavel. C．The project is only open to the people in the town. D．Volunteers can choose different ways to help animals. 3．What is Pavel probably like? A．Shy and talented. B．Kind and creative. C．Funny and outgoing. D．Patient and humorous. Long ago, Adana lived in a small village in Africa. Everyone in the village had jobs to do, and the villagers depended on one another. When Adana turned ten, her mother called for her. “Adana, it is time for you to take your place in the village. You shall be the water girl. Each morning we need you to go down to the spring, fill these buckets with water, and bring them back to the village before noon.” Adana felt proud of being given such an important job. She picked up the yoke (扁担) with the buckets, flung it over her back and walked to the spring. When she arrived, she took a drink and then filled the buckets with clean, cool water. Adana looked at the sun. It was nearly noon, and she knew the villagers were depending on her. She turned to a water girl from a nearby village and asked, “How long will it take to carry water back to my village?” The girl thoughtfully replied, “If you go slowly, it will not take very long. But, if you go fast, it will take you all day.” Adana listened and thought about what the girl had told her. She did not believe the girl and she climbed back up the bank and headed down to the path toward her village. Adana started off slowly but increased her speed with each step. Soon, she was slowly jogging back toward her village. Halfway home, she stopped to take a little sip of water. When she did, she saw that the buckets were only half full. Water had been sloshing (撒出) out along the path as she travelled. Disheartened (沮丧的), Adana turned back toward the spring. Once again. She filled the buckets with nice, clean water. Then, she walked slowly back toward the village. When she arrived, her little sister asked, “How long does it take to carry water back from the spring?” Adana smiled and said, “If you go slowly, it will not take very long. But if you go fast, it could take all day.” Adana’s little sister listened, but thought this was a strange thing to say. From that day forward, Adana walked quickly to the spring each morning. On her way home, she walked slowly and carefully. 1．How did Adana feel when her mother gave her the job? A．She was too afraid to walk to the spring on her own. B．She was worried about the time she spent on the job. C．She felt curious about what might happen on the way. D．She felt a strong sense of duty to take on the challenge. 2．In which order did the following events happen according to the story? ① Adana shared her new understanding of the job with her sister. ② Adana’s mother calls for her to take on a daily job for their village. ③ Adana received an important piece of advice from another water girl. ④ Adana found the water half gone and had to go back to restart her job A．②①④③ B．②③④① C．③②④① D．③④①② 3．Why did Adana’s little sister think her sister’s answer was strange? A．Because Adana usually ran very fast. B．Because the job is harder than she thought. C．Because it was the opposite of common sense. D．Because her sister had never been to the spring. 4．What can we learn from the story? A．Helping others is the key to a happy life B．The first method you try is usually the best one. C．Patience and care sometimes lead to better results. D．New duties are always challenging at the beginning. Long ago, China was divided into kingdoms (战国). The kingdoms were often at war, so good military leaders were important. One such leader was Tian Ji, a general in the State of Qi. Tian Ji’s best friend was Sun Bin. Sun Bin had been a military official in the State of Wei. After he was unfairly fired from his job, he moved to the State of Qi. Sun Bin taught Tian Ji a lot about military strategy. At that time, horse racing was the most popular entertainment for the rich. People bet money on the races. Tian Ji was a fan of horse racing, but he wasn’t very good at betting. One day, Tian Ji again lost money at the races. He went home feeling sorry for himself. When Sun Bin saw how sad Tian Ji was, he said, “Take me with you next time. Maybe I can help you win!” A week later, Tian Ji did just that. Sun Bin learned how the races worked very quickly. He saw that the horses were divided into three types according to speed. First-class horses were the fastest, and third-class horses were the slowest. Each type had their own race and people bet on each race. In order to win the overall bet, a person only needed to win two of the three races. Sun Bin also noticed that each type had a different saddle color. This was to tell the different horses apart. Soon, Sun Bin developed a strategy to help Tian Ji. “Trust me,” he told Tian Ji. “I know exactly how you can win!” Tian Ji got so excited he challenged the king to a race. Tian Ji did everything that Sun Bin told him to do. For the first race, he put the first-class saddle on his third-class horse. The king’s first-class horse easily beat Tian Ji’s third-class horse. For the second race, Sun Bin told Tian Ji to put the second-class saddle on his first-class horse. And sure enough, Tian Ji won the second race. His first-class horse was better than the king’s second-class horse. Finally, for the third race, Tian Ji used his second-class horse. Once again, he won. This time it was against the king’s third-class horse. The king was shocked. Tian Ji was the overall winner. The king congratulated Tian Ji, but he was curious. “Tian Ji, where did you get such good horses?” he asked. “Your Majesty,” Tian Ji replied, “I did not win because I found great horses. I won because of the strategy I used. It was Sun Bin’s strategy, and it worked!” “Really?” said the king. “What exactly was this strategy?” Tian Ji told the king all about how he switched horses. He explained how Sun Bin knew that even when two opponents were unevenly matched, a strategy could be used to minimize losses. In this case, losing only once meant that Tian Ji was still the overall winner. Hearing this, the king immediately made Sun Bin the military adviser for the whole army. Sun Bin’s strategies and Tian Ji’s leadership led the State of Qi to many military victories. 1．What’s “kingdom” mean? A．People are fighting in the war. B．Rulers are killing people.

I found him talking with a visitor—a large man with a kind, red face and red hair. When I walked in, the visitor stood up quickly to leave. “Please don’t go on my account,” I said. “No, Dr. Watson, please stay,” said Holmes. “This is Dr. James Mortimer. Dr. Mortimer, this is my friend Dr. Watson, who helps me with many cases.” After Dr. Mortimer left, Holmes picked up a walking stick the visitor had forgotten. He smiled and handed it to me. “Well, Watson, look at this stick. What can you tell me about the man who owns it? Let’s hear your ideas before I tell you mine.” I took the stick. It was a good, strong piece of wood. Near the top was a wide silver ring. Words were cut into the silver: “To James Mortimer, from his friends at the hospital. 1884.” I thought for a moment. “It seems Dr. Mortimer is a country doctor,” I said. “He is probably older and successful. His friends gave him this stick years ago, so he must be well-liked.” “Good!” said Holmes. “You see some things. But look closer. Do you see these marks here?” He pointed to some lines on the stick. “They look like...bite marks?” I asked. Exactly! They are teeth marks from a dog. The marks are deep, so the dog had strong jaws—a big dog. But the marks are not very deep all around, so the dog was playing, not fighting. The doctor has a large, friendly dog, I think.” I was surprised. I had not noticed the marks at all. Holmes continued. “Now, the words on the silver ring tell us he got this stick when he finished his studies in 1884. It is now many years later, but the stick is still in good condition. If he walked very long distances every day, the stick would be more worn. So, he is a country doctor who visits patients nearby or uses a horse for long trips.” “What else?” I asked, feeling impressed. “He forgot his stick,” said Holmes. “A man does not forget something he uses every day unless he is thinking very hard about something else. He seemed nervous when he left. I believe he came to ask for my help with a strange and serious problem. He saw you, a stranger, and decided to leave and think about it more.” Just then, the door opened. Dr. Mortimer came back in, looking worried. “I am so sorry,” he said. “I forgot my walking stick.” “Of course,” said Holmes, giving it to him. “I hope your dog is well, Doctor?” Dr. Mortimer’s eyes opened wide. “How did you know about my dog? He is at home today!” “Your stick told me,” said Holmes calmly. “Now, I think you came back not only for the stick, but because you want to talk about your problem. Please, sit down. Tell us your story from the beginning.” Dr. Mortimer sat down and began to tell a strange and frightening story about a family named Baskerville and a mysterious death on the moors—a case that would become one of our most famous adventures together. 1．What was the main clue Holmes used to know about Dr. Mortimer’s dog? A．The date “1884” on the stick. B．The words “from his friends.” C．The bite marks on the walking stick. D．The doctor’s wide silver ring. 2．What did Holmes think about how Dr. Mortimer traveled for work? A．He walked very long distances every day. B．He might use a horse for long visits. C．He only visits patients far away. D．He took a train for a long trip. 3．Why did Holmes think Dr. Mortimer had a serious problem? A．Because Dr. Mortimer looked very rich and had a wide silver ring. B．Because Dr. Mortimer forgot his stick and seemed nervous. C．Because Dr. Mortimer’s stick was bitten by his dog. D．Because Dr. Mortimer’s dog was ill. 4．What is the main purpose of this story? A．To describe how to solve the case. B．To show how Holmes uses observation to learn about people. C．To tell a funny story about Dr. Mortimer and his dog. D．To explain what serious problem a country doctor had. Last semester, a worrying problem appeared in several Nanjing middle schools. Some students got sick with stomach aches after eating at school, but it was very confusing. Students from different schools, who ate different foods from different kitchens, fell ill on different days. The usual way of finding the cause—looking for one bad ingredient or one dirty kitchen—did not work. The problem was solved in a new way. A team was formed with health checkers and computer experts from a local company. The big change happened when the team leader, Mr. Chen, had a new idea. He thought the problem might not be a thing, but a person—someone who delivered food to many school kitchens. His team used different sets of computer information: records of food delivery trucks around the city, digital reports of kitchen cleanliness, and records of what ingredients schools bought. They used special computer programs to look for hidden connections in all this information. It was like trying to find one special leaf in a huge forest. The computer program first looked for patterns in time and place. It checked every delivery truck’s route, every kitchen’s cleanliness score, and every box of food against the time and place where students got sick. After three days, the computer found something interesting. It showed one cold-storage delivery truck that had visited every school kitchen where students got sick, and it was always there within two days before the sickness. But the truck’s list showed it was only delivering safe things like oil or paper boxes, not the food that made students sick. Now, human cleverness joined with the computer’s finding. Health checkers, with this new clue, made a surprise visit to check that truck and its driver. They found a serious problem: the truck’s cooling machine had been broken for weeks, but the driver was afraid to tell his boss. On his delivery trips, he was also secretly running his own small business. He was making milk desserts at home and selling them to small restaurants without a license. These desserts went bad because they were not kept cold enough in his broken truck. The driver used the same dirty hands and tools to handle both his illegal desserts and the school deliveries, so germs spread to the school food. This case was solved not by asking people what they saw, but by finding a hidden pattern in everyday information. “We started by looking for a pattern in the normal life of the city, not for a person,” explained Mr. Chen. This new kind of “digital detective work” shows that today’s investigators need to understand both science and computers. After this, Nanjing’s education department started a new computer system to track every step of school food, from the farm to the lunch plate, making it safer and easier to check if problems happen. 1．Why was this food problem so “confusing” and difficult to solve at first? A．Because too many students got sick at the same time. B．Because there was no clear single source. C．Because the school kitchens were all very dirty. D．Because the driver did not tell the truth when asked. 2．What new idea did Mr. Chen’s team try? A．The cause was a strong cleaning chemical. B．The source might be a person who went to many schools. C．They developed a new technology to investigate different students. D．They decided to use computer information to work out why the students were sick. 3．What key clue did the computer program find? A．A broken cooling machine in a delivery truck. B．A driver who was running an illegal dessert business. C．A delivery truck that visited all the sick schools. D．A driver and tools that spread germs to the school food. 4．What big change did this case lead to? A．The city started using computers to follow school food from the beginning to the end. B．They made a new rule that all food delivery trucks must be checked every day. C．They decided to stop buying food from outside and only use school kitchens. D．The investigators and computer experts decided to work together forever. 试卷第1页，共3页 试卷第1页，共3页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
