专题06 阅读理解（说明文） 主题01 人与社会 Passage 1 （24-25七年级下·广东省佛山市南海区·期中） The Tang Dynasty was a golden age of Chinese culture, and its art was famous for its colorful and creative styles. What do you think of when you think about Tang Dynasty art? One feature about china, paintings and clothing from that time was that they used a lot of different colors. This was also true for women’s faces. The ladies back then were given much freedom to express their beauty. They used makeup (化妆品) with brighter colors than before. They put makeup mainly on their faces, forehead, eyebrows and cheeks to look more beautiful. “Women’s facial makeup in the Tang Dynasty was different from today. They put yellow powder on their foreheads. It was called the ‘yellow forehead’”, explains Sun Ji of the Museum of Chinese History. Just like the “yellow forehead”, the “green eyebrows” was also a makeup word. __▲__They dyed their eyebrows green to make themselves look nice. Later, the green color got darker and turned black. Besides the yellow forehead and green eyebrows, they also stuck a flower-like thing between their eyebrows. The shapes were different. The simplest one was a round dot (小点). A fancier one could look like a pair of wings. Nowadays, most of us may not think the Tang Dynasty makeup is very beautiful. “Aesthetics change,” Sun says. “For example, in the early Tang Dynasty, women thought wide eyebrows were pretty. They also put two dots at the corners of their mouths. They were usually light in color.” One thing remains unchanged, though: People always like to look for beauty. The most important thing is that people from different times love beauty. Even if Tang makeup looks unusual to us today, it remains a charming part of China’s great cultural history.

That means short sleepers have higher trunk (躯干), arms and legs FMI (Fat Mass Index 脂肪质量指数). In men, short sleep at night can lead to higher trunk, arms and legs FMI. However, in women, short sleep at night only leads to more fat in their arms. Sleeping more during the day can’t make things better. Long sleep during the day can make it harder to fall asleep at night. What should we do then? Turn off your phone, computer and TV.

They use tools to do things like finding and getting food. A recent study has found that chimps teach each other how to make tools. Also, they can improve these skills from generation to generation. Scientists call this “cumulative culture” (累积文化). For the study, researchers studied facts from about 240 chimps in 35 different places in Africa. Through the chimps’ DNA, researchers also see how related chimps from different areas might be. Most chimps used simple tools or none at all. ▲ For example, a chimp uses a stick to dig a hole, then turn a plant into a brush-like tool to catch insects from the hole to eat. The study found that these more skillful chimps, even far apart, might share common genes. They are different from those using simpler tools or none. Female chimps play an important role in passing on the chimps’ culture when they move to new groups to find mates. The study found that female chimps travelled to different places with simple tools. Females teach their new groups new skills. Then other chimps change their simple tools into complex ones. Researchers think that complex tools depended on social communication across groups. This kind of cumulative culture is usually only found in humans and not in animals. Still, not all scientists agree about chimp culture. Some believe that each group of chimps can develop these complex skills on their own because they are very smart. 1．How does the writer explain “cumulative culture”? A．By listing numbers. B．By explaining facts. C．By comparing facts. D．By asking questions. 2．Which of the following can be put in “ ▲ ” in Paragraph 3? A．And they could teach others their skills. B．So they could use tools for different tasks. C．Because they could do tasks by themselves. D．However, some could do more difficult tasks. 3．What does the underlined word “complex” mean in Paragraph 4? A．Same. B．Easy. C．Difficult. D．Interesting. 4．How do chimps learn other tool-using skills? A．They are born with these skills. B．They mainly learn from humans. C．They mainly learn through social learning. D．They learn from groups using simple tools. 5．What is the best title for the passage? A．Chimps Share Skills About Tools B．Chimps Build Groups By Sharing Skills C．Chimps Share Common DNA With Humans D．Chimps Improve Tools In Their Own Groups Passage 4 （24-25七年级下·广东省佛山市南海区狮山镇·期中） Close your eyes for a minute and imagine what life would be like if you couldn’t see. Imagine having to read this page, not with your eyes but with your fingers. How do you feel, then? With medical knowledge and skills today, two-thirds of the world’s 42 million people with blindness could be helped. Unluckily, rich countries have this knowledge and skills, but poor countries often do not. ORBIS is a global non-profit organization. Its goal is to help fight blindness all over the world.

Passage 5 （24-25七年级下·广东省佛山市南海区·期中） 阅读短文，从每小题所给的四个选项中，选出能回答所提问题或完成所给句子的最佳答案。 Do you know happiness is also a science? In a Harvard study, researchers asked students to write down three good things every day for just one week, and it showed that these students became 25% happier and stayed happier for six months! This simple practice trained their brains (头脑) to see happiness in life. So how do we train our brain for happiness? Scientists found that dopamine, serotonin, oxytocin and endorphin can make people happy. Dopamine comes from things like winning a race, and serotonin from sunlight. As for oxytocin, when Mr. Thompson’s students gave him a surprise birthday card, he was touched—that’s oxytocin creating the feeling of love. And endorphin helps you feel better after exercising or crying. That is to say, by creating more dopamine, serotonin, oxytocin or endorphin, ▲ . And here are five ways to help, First, hug someone you love. Second, do a victory dance when something good happens, Third, give 3 compliments a day. For example, tell your friend “Your smile makes me happy.” Fourth, walk in nature. And last but not least, the Kindness Boomerang. Try doing something nice for a stranger.

Teachers use AI to create personalized (个性化的) exercises and exams according to students’ needs. After completing a unit, teachers use AI to choose different questions from an online database with different kinds of extra materials. This process creates customized exercises for the unit, which helps students practice what they need most. For example, if a student has trouble with English grammar, AI will give him more grammar questions, like building difficult sentences. Students answer the questions on answer sheets, which teachers can collect and scan into an AI system for grading. The system then grades the work and creates easy-to-read charts with colours showing each student’s progress. This helps teachers quickly see who needs more help. Now, teachers focus on common mistakes and give one-on-one support. Students also get AI-made homework that only includes their past errors. “The homework fixes my old mistakes, so I don’t waste time on things I already know,” said a student. Another student said he no longer needs to write down mistakes in a notebook because AI does it for him. The AI tools have made teaching faster and learning more effective. Both teachers and students find AI helpful. As technology grows, the school plans to bring even more exciting changes to classrooms. 1．How do teachers create personalized exercises and exams? A．By making up questions themselves. B．By asking students for their preferences. C．By borrowing questions from other schools.

Although it sounds unusual, some eatable electronic things have been developed by scientists. Robofood, a program led by the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology, has been the pioneer. Together with scientists from Wageningen University, it has made a new drone (无人机). Half of the parts inside can be eaten! The program plans to create robots that can be eaten by mixing food science and robots in a new way. According to the scientists, the wings of the drone were made from rice cakes, oil and chocolate. This drone can find missing people and carry food or medicine necessary to them. However, the main problem is finding stronger eatable materials for the drone’s wings to prepare for bad weather and high temperatures. Robofood also developed an eatable sensor (感应器) to help watch stomach sickness. It’s eaten by the patient to check the conditions inside. Different from other sensors nowadays, it can be broken down (降解) in less than 24 hours. This way, there’s no danger of it leaving anything inside the body. Another invention of Robofood also helps with environmental protection. The world’s first fully eatable batteries can help deal with the growing problem of throwing away used batteries. Some parts of the battery are made of vitamin B₂ and another natural ingredient that can be found in many fruits including apples. So the new battery can be more friendly to the environment. 1．How does the writer start this passage? A．By telling a story. B．By using a saying. C．By asking a question. D．By giving an example. 2．What does Robofood plan to create? A．Amazing drones. B．Eatable robots. C．Useful sensors. D．Natural batteries. 3．What problem does Robofood’s drone have? A．The materials are not fully eatable. B．The materials are not strong enough. C．The drone can easily break during flying. D．The drone cannot take off in bad weather. 4．Compared to other sensors, what can Robofood’s sensors do? A．They can be taken as medicine. B．They can check more carefully. C．They can be safer for human body. D．They can stay in the human body longer. 5．What’s the purpose of writing this article? A．To introduce a new kind of food. B．To tell us how to make eatable robots. C．To introduce the inventions of Robofood. D．To show the importance of environmental protection. Passage 3 （24-25七年级下·广东省佛山市南海区·期中） You may have a house robot that can do housework for you. But is it so smart? See Aurora, a headless dog-sized robot used to keep birds and other animals away at an Alaskan airport. Watch another 1.8 meter-tall legless robot called EveR6, moving its arms to guide musicians through a performance. Those robots above require artificial intelligence (AI). AI is a computer system (系统) that can understand languages, make decisions and solve problems. AI can be taught skills. Humans give AI information such as books, photos or videos to train it. The more information it studies, the better it can do its job. __▲__ For example, when you watch TV, AI will know what your favorite is and suggest similar ones. In hospitals, AI is very good at suggesting treatments and can even invent new medicines. In cities, AI is used to watch out for cars that make black smoke. It works together with the police to stop them and keep the air clean. AI can help us fight climate (气候) change by finding clever ways to cut down the energy use. Some people worry that AI will take away a lot of jobs and also fear that AI could develop out of control and bring danger to humans. However, AI is expected to be a more powerful production tool that will help humans achieve more in less time. Humans imagine AI might even find a way to solve the problems of our energy needs completely. Anyway, there is still a long journey for humans and AI. 1．Where can we see Aurora and EveR6? a. At home.  b. At an airport.  c. At a hospital.  d. At a music hall. A．a, c B．b, d C．b, c D．a, d 2．What BIG question does Paragraph 2 answer? A．What is AI? B．What can AI do? C．Where is AI used? D．Why are AI robots made? 3．Which of the following can be put in “__▲__”? A．AI will be developed rapidly. B．AI has become part of daily life. C．Humans depend too much on AI. D．Humans wonder if AI could think. 4．What is AI expected to be able to do in the future? A．To suggest TV programs. B．To cut down food waste. C．To invent new medicines. D．To help produce enough energy. 5．What would the writer write about after the last paragraph? A．The strong power of AI. B．The potential danger of AI. C．The ways to get along with AI. D．The great achievements of AI. Passage 4 （24-25七年级下·广东省潮州饶平·期中） What colour is the sea? It’s blue. What colour is the grass? It’s green. What colour is the snow? It’s white.

What do you think of when you think about Tang Dynasty art? One feature about china, paintings and clothing from that time was that they used a lot of different colors. This was also true for women’s faces. The ladies back then were given much freedom to express their beauty. They used makeup (化妆品) with brighter colors than before. They put makeup mainly on their faces, forehead, eyebrows and cheeks to look more beautiful. “Women’s facial makeup in the Tang Dynasty was different from today. They put yellow powder on their foreheads. It was called the ‘yellow forehead’”, explains Sun Ji of the Museum of Chinese History. Just like the “yellow forehead”, the “green eyebrows” was also a makeup word. __▲__They dyed their eyebrows green to make themselves look nice. Later, the green color got darker and turned black. Besides the yellow forehead and green eyebrows, they also stuck a flower-like thing between their eyebrows. The shapes were different. The simplest one was a round dot (小点). A fancier one could look like a pair of wings. Nowadays, most of us may not think the Tang Dynasty makeup is very beautiful. “Aesthetics change,” Sun says. “For example, in the early Tang Dynasty, women thought wide eyebrows were pretty. They also put two dots at the corners of their mouths. They were usually light in color.” One thing remains unchanged, though: People always like to look for beauty. The most important thing is that people from different times love beauty. Even if Tang makeup looks unusual to us today, it remains a charming part of China’s great cultural history.

They use tools to do things like finding and getting food. A recent study has found that chimps teach each other how to make tools. Also, they can improve these skills from generation to generation. Scientists call this “cumulative culture” (累积文化). For the study, researchers studied facts from about 240 chimps in 35 different places in Africa. Through the chimps’ DNA, researchers also see how related chimps from different areas might be. Most chimps used simple tools or none at all. ▲ For example, a chimp uses a stick to dig a hole, then turn a plant into a brush-like tool to catch insects from the hole to eat. The study found that these more skillful chimps, even far apart, might share common genes. They are different from those using simpler tools or none. Female chimps play an important role in passing on the chimps’ culture when they move to new groups to find mates. The study found that female chimps travelled to different places with simple tools. Females teach their new groups new skills. Then other chimps change their simple tools into complex ones. Researchers think that complex tools depended on social communication across groups. This kind of cumulative culture is usually only found in humans and not in animals. Still, not all scientists agree about chimp culture. Some believe that each group of chimps can develop these complex skills on their own because they are very smart. 1．How does the writer explain “cumulative culture”? A．By listing numbers. B．By explaining facts. C．By comparing facts. D．By asking questions. 2．Which of the following can be put in “ ▲ ” in Paragraph 3? A．And they could teach others their skills.

D．Interesting. 4．How do chimps learn other tool-using skills? A．They are born with these skills. B．They mainly learn from humans. C．They mainly learn through social learning. D．They learn from groups using simple tools. 5．What is the best title for the passage? A．Chimps Share Skills About Tools B．Chimps Build Groups By Sharing Skills C．Chimps Share Common DNA With Humans D．Chimps Improve Tools In Their Own Groups 【答案】1．B 2．D 3．C 4．C 5．A 【导语】本文围绕黑猩猩通过代际和社会群体传递工具使用技能展开，强调技能的共享与改进。 1．推理判断题。根据“A recent study has found that chimps teach each other how to make tools. Also, they can improve these skills from generation to generation.”以及后文的内容可知，作者是通过解释事实来说明“累积文化”的。故选B。 2．推理判断题。根据“For example, a chimp uses a stick to dig a hole…”可知，后文在描写技能更强的黑猩猩，与前句形成转折，选项D“然而，有些可以完成更困难的任务。”符合语境。故选D。 3．词句猜测题。根据“Females teach their new groups new skills. Then other chimps change their simple tools into complex ones.”可知，“complex”与“simple”形成对比，且后文提到这种文化通常仅存在于人类中，说明工具更复杂。故选C。 4．细节理解题。根据“Female chimps play an important role in passing on the chimps’ culture… Females teach their new groups new skills”和“complex tools depended on social communication across groups”可知，黑猩猩主要通过社会学习掌握技能。故选C。 5．最佳标题题。全文围绕黑猩猩通过代际和社会群体传递工具使用技能展开，强调技能的共享与改进。选项A“Chimps Share Skills About Tools”最贴合主题。故选A。 Passage 4 （24-25七年级下·广东省佛山市南海区狮山镇·期中） Close your eyes for a minute and imagine what life would be like if you couldn’t see.

Teachers use AI to create personalized (个性化的) exercises and exams according to students’ needs. After completing a unit, teachers use AI to choose different questions from an online database with different kinds of extra materials. This process creates customized exercises for the unit, which helps students practice what they need most. For example, if a student has trouble with English grammar, AI will give him more grammar questions, like building difficult sentences. Students answer the questions on answer sheets, which teachers can collect and scan into an AI system for grading. The system then grades the work and creates easy-to-read charts with colours showing each student’s progress. This helps teachers quickly see who needs more help. Now, teachers focus on common mistakes and give one-on-one support. Students also get AI-made homework that only includes their past errors. “The homework fixes my old mistakes, so I don’t waste time on things I already know,” said a student. Another student said he no longer needs to write down mistakes in a notebook because AI does it for him. The AI tools have made teaching faster and learning more effective. Both teachers and students find AI helpful. As technology grows, the school plans to bring even more exciting changes to classrooms. 1．How do teachers create personalized exercises and exams? A．By making up questions themselves. B．By asking students for their preferences. C．By borrowing questions from other schools. D．By using AI to choose questions from an online database. 2．What can we infer from the fact that students get AI-made homework? A．Learning will become more efficient for students. B．Teachers will no longer be needed in the future. C．Students will make fewer mistakes in the future. D．Students will not have to study as hard as before. 3．What’s the attitude of teachers and students towards AI tools? A．Negative. B．Doubtful. C．Supporting. D．Uncaring. 4．What may be the main purpose of using AI at Beijing New Oriental Foreign Language School? A．To make students’ exercise books lighter. B．To improve learning with personalized education. C．To make teaching more enjoyable for teachers. D．To reduce the amount of homework for students. 5．What is the best title of the passage? A．The Development of AI Technology B．The Change in Students’ Learning Ways C．The Application of AI in the Field of Education D．The Importance of Personalized Teaching 【答案】1．D 2．A 3．C 4．B 5．C 【导语】本文主要讲述了江苏扬州北京新东方外国语学校通过引入AI工具在教学和学习方面带来的显著变化。 1．细节理解题。根据“teachers use AI to choose different questions from an online database with different kinds of extra materials”可知，教师通过AI从在线数据库中选择题目来创建个性化练习和考试。故选D。 2．推理判断题。根据第四段学生反馈“The homework fixes my old mistakes, so I don’t waste time on things I already know”可推断，AI生成的作业能针对性纠错，提高学习效率。故选A。 3．观点态度题。根据“Both teachers and students find AI helpful”及全文积极描述可知，师生对AI工具持支持态度。故选C。 4．推理判断题。全文围绕AI如何根据学生需求提供个性化教学（如定制练习、作业纠错等），核心目的是通过个性化教育提升学习效果。故选B。 5．最佳标题题。全文重点介绍AI在教育领域的应用（如出题、批改、个性化学习等）。故选C。 Passage 4 （24-25七年级下·广东省云浮市新兴县·期中） American schools begin in September after a long summer holiday.

Maybe, a battery (电池)? Although it sounds unusual, some eatable electronic things have been developed by scientists. Robofood, a program led by the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology, has been the pioneer. Together with scientists from Wageningen University, it has made a new drone (无人机). Half of the parts inside can be eaten! The program plans to create robots that can be eaten by mixing food science and robots in a new way. According to the scientists, the wings of the drone were made from rice cakes, oil and chocolate. This drone can find missing people and carry food or medicine necessary to them. However, the main problem is finding stronger eatable materials for the drone’s wings to prepare for bad weather and high temperatures. Robofood also developed an eatable sensor (感应器) to help watch stomach sickness. It’s eaten by the patient to check the conditions inside. Different from other sensors nowadays, it can be broken down (降解) in less than 24 hours. This way, there’s no danger of it leaving anything inside the body. Another invention of Robofood also helps with environmental protection. The world’s first fully eatable batteries can help deal with the growing problem of throwing away used batteries. Some parts of the battery are made of vitamin B₂ and another natural ingredient that can be found in many fruits including apples. So the new battery can be more friendly to the environment. 1．How does the writer start this passage? A．By telling a story. B．By using a saying. C．By asking a question. D．By giving an example. 2．What does Robofood plan to create? A．Amazing drones. B．Eatable robots. C．Useful sensors. D．Natural batteries. 3．What problem does Robofood’s drone have? A．The materials are not fully eatable. B．The materials are not strong enough. C．The drone can easily break during flying. D．The drone cannot take off in bad weather. 4．Compared to other sensors, what can Robofood’s sensors do? A．They can be taken as medicine. B．They can check more carefully. C．They can be safer for human body. D．They can stay in the human body longer. 5．What’s the purpose of writing this article? A．To introduce a new kind of food. B．To tell us how to make eatable robots.

They have small eyes, a large nose and round ears. And they have no tails. They can run as fast as rabbits. Koalas feed on tree leaves. They usually sleep about 20 hours a day. The word “koala” comes from an Australian word. It means “no drink”. ▲ . They get water from what they eat.      Much like kangaroos, koalas have pouches (育儿袋) for carrying their young. As soon as a koala baby is born, it finds its way to its mother’s pouch, and stays there for about 6 months. That’s about how long it takes for the baby to see the world. By about 7 months of age, the baby gets into the pouch less, and spends more time on its mother’s back. At about 12 months, it leaves its mother to establish its own home. A koala usually can live up to 15 years. Now koalas are in great danger. To save koalas, a group called Bangalow Koalas was set up in 2016. For years, it has planted over 400,000 trees.

They have small eyes, a large nose and round ears. And they have no tails. They can run as fast as rabbits.”可知，考拉不是熊，它们长着小小的眼睛、大大的鼻子和圆圆的耳朵，没有尾巴，可以跑得和兔子一样快，因此①②④符合。故选B。 2．推理判断题。根据“It means ‘no drink’.”和“They get water from what they eat.”可知，考拉不怎么喝水，A选项“考拉不怎么喝水”可以放入第二段空白处。故选A。 3．词句猜测题。根据“At about 12 months, it leaves its mother to establish its own home.”可知，大约12个月大时，考拉离开母亲，建立自己的家。establish意为“建立”，与build意思相近。故选D。 4．细节理解题。根据“The group hopes to plant 500,000 trees by 2025.”可知，Bangalow Koalas到2025年的目标是种植500000棵树。故选A。 5．最佳标题题。阅读全文可知，本文主要介绍了考拉的相关信息，以及人类对考拉的保护。C选项“考拉的介绍与人类的努力”可作为文章标题。故选C。 / 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
