Well-trained dogs obey their masters. They sit, stay and come when we speak directly to them. Do they understand 11 we say when we talk to other people?
Some people think that how we say something can be 12 than the words we say. Dogs keep an eye on our body language instead 13 our actual words. They listen to the tone (声调) of our voice. If we smile and say 14 , “Hey! Let’s go for a walk!”, our dogs 15 positively. However, if we say the same words in an angry voice, they may feel 16 .
Other scientists believe that dogs understand the actual meaning of many words. Scientists used MRI (磁共振成像) 17 the brain activity of dogs when talking to them at the same time. They learned that dogs deal with language like humans do. The left side of the brain deals with word meanings 18 the right side works on tones.
Dogs understand better when both sides of the brain 19 at the same time. In another MRI study, the 20 both sides of the brain worked when the scientists said “good boy” in a praising tone. If the same words were spoken in a neutral (无感情色彩的) tone, only the left side of the brain was active.
Our dogs know more than just “sit”, “stay” or “walk”. They can learn the meaning of many words and can learn that meaning even better when we say those words in the right tones.

(2026年广东深圳市福田区外国语学校中考一模英语试卷)
Cats look like they’re solids, but they’re actually a little like liquids-at least that’s what a physics paper says, after watching videos of cats getting into small spaces. Now a scientist tested many cats to find out when they act like liquids and when they act like solids.
To test how cats react to different spaces, Pongrócz and his team designed a simple experiment. They set up small test areas in 29 cat owners’ houses. They used two pieces of cardboard on doorways. One had five holes of the same height but getting narrower. The other had five holes of the same width but getting shorter. Owners stood on one side, and the cats and researchers on the other. The cats had to push through the holes to get to their owners. Each test was recorded to watch the cats’ real actions clearly.
The results were surprising. 30 healthy cats took part and finished the test. 22 of them stopped and hesitated (犹豫) at the shortest hole, while only 8 stopped at the narrowest hole.
The study shows most cats can easily move through tall, narrow spaces, but they stop when the hole is too short to feel comfortable. Pongrócz says moving carefully through short holes may be a way to protect themselves. The fact that they stop at home shows they know their own body size and use it to decide how to move. This interesting study also helps people learn more about how animals judge their bodies and the world around them.
21.What can we learn from the first paragraph?
A.Cats like liquids. B.Cats enjoy small spaces.
C.Cats can act like liquids. D.Cats love watching videos.
22.Why did the scientists design two different kinds of holes?
A.To test cats’ speed in different situations.
B.To make the experiment more interesting.
C.To help cats find their owners more easily.
D.To test how cats react to height and width
23.What can we infer from the results?
A.Cats behave the same in experiments. B.Cats care more about height than width.
C.Cats prefer challenges in small spaces. D.Cats are unable to judge space correctly.
24.Why do cats hesitate at shorter holes?
A.They are afraid of getting hurt. B.They dislike their owners’ calls.
C.They cannot see clearly in low spaces. D.They are not trained to go through them.
25.What does the study mainly show?
A.Cats enjoy testing their physical limits.
B.Cats can change their shape like liquid.
C.Cats have a clear sense of their body size.
D.Cats behave differently at home and outside.

As winter 2025 comes, Shenzhen Bay Park and other coastal (沿海的) parks do a kind thing-they close early and turn off all lights at night. This action tries to make a quiet, dark place for migratory birds (候鸟) stopping here during their long trip.
Shenzhen is a vital stop on migratory birds’ flying path between East Asia and Australia. Every year, from October to May, nearly 100,000 birds of over 250 species stop here. The city has done more to protect these “guests”. Workers put up special streetlights in parks—these lights have soft yellow light that doesn’t hurt birds, and they’re good for them to build nests (鸟巢). Many buildings near the wetlands also use special glass, so birds won’t hit it by accident.
_ ▲ Workers have planted over 2,000 trees and fixed the natural water systems to make wetlands better. This gives birds plenty of food and safe places to live. Smart tools like AI cameras help watch birds without troubling them. Also, volunteers organize activities like cleaning the beach to keep the birds’ home tidy. These efforts show that a modern city can be a true friend to nature. Cities and nature can live well together when we care for wild animals. Everyone’s small actions can help protect the beautiful connection between humans and nature.
26.Why did Shenzhen’s coastal parks close early in winter?
A.To save energy for the city.
B.To create a quiet place for birds.
C.To reduce noise in the area.
D.To stop people watching birds.
27.What does the underlined word “vital” in Paragraph 2 mean?
A.Important. B.Common. C.Quiet. D.Happy.
28.Which of the following can be put in “ __▲__ ” in Paragraph 3?
A.Improving wetlands is a big task. B.Special lights and glass help a lot.
C.Birds need clean food and water. D.The protection is more than darkness.
29.How do workers watch the birds without troubling them?
A.By using AI cameras. B.By using special glass.
C.By standing behind trees. D.By looking through windows.
30.What is the best title for the passage?
A.A Long Trip to Australia B.The Beautiful Coastal Parks
C.A Warm Home for Birds D.The Changes of Shenzhen

(2026年广东珠海市九洲中学中考一模考试英语试题)
Scientists have long known dolphins are among the smartest ocean animals. However, a recent study in the Gulf of Mexico shows their communication might be as hard as human language. Researchers discovered that wild dolphin families create special “signature whistles (标志性口哨)” to recognize each other, much like how people use names.
To test this, the team played underwater recordings of different dolphin whistles. When a dolphin heard its family’s special sound, it quickly swam towards the speaker. ________ This proved these sounds act like personal IDs. The study also found dolphins mix whistles in creative ways to share messages, such as warning about danger or pointing out food locations.
Interestingly, baby dolphins spend months practicing these sounds, just like human babies learning to talk. This suggests adult dolphins actively teach their young, which is an unusual behavior in the animal world. Scientists say this finding helps us understand how intelligence develops in different species.
Sea biologists believe studying dolphin language could help protection efforts. For example, knowing how dolphins communicate about dangers might help protect them from ocean pollution or ship noises. Already, some teams are using AI tools to decode dolphin sounds immediately. In this way, humans could better watch dolphin health and create safer sea environments.
This research not only deepens our love for dolphins’ intelligence but also reminds us to protect these amazing animals and their underwater home.
31.What did dolphins do when hearing their family’s whistle?
A.They swam away quickly. B.They repeated the same sound.
C.They moved toward the sound. D.They warned others of danger.
32.Which of the following can be put in “________” in Paragraph 2?
A.However, it copied unknown sounds like “Hello”.
B.However, it ate fish happily when hearing strange calls.
C.However, it paid no attention to whistles from unknown groups.
D.However, it swam faster when boats made loud engine sounds.
33.How do baby dolphins learn communication according to the text?
A.Through long-time practice. B.By copying their mothers.
C.With human help. D.Using AI technology.
34.What does the underlined word “decode” in Paragraph 4 most probably mean?
A.Recognize. B.Translate. C.Copy. D.Listen.
35.What is the best title for the passage?
A.Saving Dolphins in the Ocean B.Baby Dolphins’ Learning Journey
C.How AI Helps Dolphin Research D.The Amazing Whistle Language

Do you remember “Flash,” the funny sloth (树懒) who does everything slowly in the movie Zootopia? Real sloths, however, are not just funny; they show us a different way to live.
Sloths are slow because they only eat leaves, which give them very little energy. Moving slowly helps them save energy. Their stomachs work very slowly, too. It can take them a month to break down one meal of leaves.
Most sloths live high in the rainforest of Central and South America. They are fantastic climbers. In fact, they spend almost their whole lives hanging upside down in tall trees. Being high up in the trees keeps them safe from predators on the ground.
About once a week, sloths climb down to poop (大便) This trip is dangerous, but it is important to nature. Tiny moths (飞蛾) live in sloths’ fur. They lay eggs in sloths’ poop and then fly back to the sloths. On the way, moths bring tiny bits of algae (藻类) to sloths’ fur. These algae grow and turn the fur green, so sloths can hide in the leaves. In this way, the algae, the moths, and the sloths are all able to survive in the forest.
By learning about sloths, we see that every living thing, no matter how slow or small, has a job in nature’s big family. Being slow can be smart. Protecting nature means protecting every living thing
36.How does the writer begin the text?
A.By using a saying. B.By asking a question. C.By listing numbers. D.By showing problems.
37.What best describes sloths in paragraph 2?
A.Cinema fans. B.Tree climbers. C.Leaf guards D.Energy savers.
38.What does the underlined word predators in paragraph 3 probably mean?
A.People who take care of sloths. B.Plants that provide food for sloths.
C.Animals that may hunt and eat sloths. D.Animals that share the rainforest with sloths.
39.Why is the weekly trip important to nature?
A.It helps the algae to hide better. B.It creates more food for insects.
C.It keeps a simple life cycle going. D.It allows sloths to find new friends.
40.What is the best title for the text?
A.Sloths’ Wisdom B.Call for Protection C.Rainforest Secrets D.Lazy but Necessary

(2026年广东省深圳南山实验麒麟中学九年级一模英语试题)
In winter, lakes and rivers in cold areas often freeze over. Thick ice forms on the surface and the water may look completely frozen. In some very cold regions, animals such as seals, penguins and many sea birds live near icy waters and feed on fish. Yet fish and many other water animals can still survive under the ice all winter long. How do they manage to live in such icy water?
One reason is that only the top layer of water freezes. When the air temperature drops below 0°C, the surface water cools first and turns into ice. The water below the ice, however, remains liquid and still contains oxygen. Because of this, fish can breathe and move normally under the frozen surface.
But why doesn’t the whole lake freeze like a giant ice cube? The answer lies in the unusual behavior of water. When the surface water cools to about 4℃, it becomes denser (密度大的) than warmer water (for example, water around 6℃) and sinks to the bottom of the lake. As this happens, warmer water from below rises to the surface and cools again. Through this continuous process, the surface water eventually freezes while the deeper water remains around 4℃.
The ice on the surface also plays an important role. It acts like a blanket and reduces the loss of heat from the water below. This helps keep the lower water from becoming too cold for fish to live in.
Some fish living in very cold seas even produce a kind of antifreeze substance (防冻物质) that prevents their body from freezing. With the help of nature and their own abilities, fish are able to survive the long winter under the ice.
41.What surprising fact is mentioned in paragraph 1?
A.Birds catch fish in winter. B.Ice forms mainly in polar seas.
C.Rivers freeze earlier than lakes. D.Fish can still live under frozen lakes.
42.Why can fish breathe under ice?
A.Ice provides fresh air for fish. B.Air can pass easily through ice.
C.Water under ice still has oxygen. D.Fish come to the surface for fresh air.
43.What happens to water when it cools to about 4℃?
A.The water becomes lighter. B.The water stays on the surface.
C.The water turns into ice quickly. D.The water moves down to the bottom.
44.How does the ice cover help fish live in winter?
A.It stops the water from moving too fast. B.It produces antifreeze substance for fish.
C.It slows down heat loss from the water below. D.It keeps the water temperature above freezing.
45.In which part of a website can we probably read this article?
A.Animal Care Tips B.Science and Nature
C.Daily Weather Report D.Travel around the World

Bertie lived on a farm in Africa with his family. His best friend was a white lion he had raised since it was a cub (幼崽). Every night, the lion would lie beside him, its warm head resting on his feet.
One evening, Bertie’s father said, “You are almost eight years old now. It’s time for you to go to school in England.”
Bertie’s heart sank. “But what about my lion?” he asked.
His father looked away. “I have sold him to a circus (马戏团) owner from France. He will come for him in a few days.”
“No!” Bertie cried. “You can’t send him to a circus! He will be locked behind bars. People will laugh at him. He would rather die!” But he could see that his parents had already made up their minds.
That night, Bertie waited until everyone was asleep. Quietly, he took his father’s rifle (步枪) and walked out into the darkness with his lion following close behind. He ran until the sun began to rise over the grassland.
Sitting on a hilltop, Bertie hugged the lion tightly. “You must be wild now,” he whispered. “Don’t ever come back. I will always remember you, I promise.”
He stood up and walked away. But when he looked back, the lion was following him. Bertie shouted and threw stones, but the lion kept coming.
With tears streaming down his face, Bertie lifted the rifle and fired into the air—over the lion’s head. The loud sound echoed (回响) across the grassland. The lion stopped, turned, and slowly walked back into the wild.
Bertie watched until it disappeared from sight. He knew he would never see his friend again, but at least the lion was free.
46.Who bought the lion from Bertie’s father?
A.A farmer in Africa. B.A headmaster from England.
C.A zookeeper from the city. D.A circus owner from France.
47.What led to his decision to run away with the lion?
A.He showed deep love and courage. B.He was afraid of going to school.
C.He wanted to live in the wild. D.He hoped to punish his parents.
48.Why did Bertie fire the rifle into the air?
A.To call for help from other people. B.To show his anger at his father.
C.To hurt the lion but not kill it. D.To scare the lion away so it could be free.
49.How did Bertie’s feelings change during the story?
A.From anger at his father to acceptance of his decision.
B.From fear of going to school to excitement about England.
C.From excitement about living in Africa to disappointment about leaving.
D.From hope of keeping the lion to understanding he must let go.

Scientists have reported the first known case of a cow using a tool. Veronika, a pet cow living in Austria, 51 (study) as she used a broom to scratch(搔痒) different parts of her body. The study suggests that cows may be far 52 (smart) than many people believe.
Veronika is no ordinary cow, mainly 53 she is kept as a pet rather than a farm animal. This allows her to do whatever she wants, whenever she wants. She often suffers from itchy spots (发痒的红点) on her skin caused by horsefly bites. According to her owner, Veronika 54 (pick) up sticks with her mouth and used them to scratch herself for years. She was never taught this skill; she 55 (simple) figured it out on her own.
A scientist who studies how animals solve problems, became interested after 56 (watch) a video of Veronika. She decided to run an experiment offering Veronika a broom 57 (see) if the cow could use it to scratch herself. Veronika lifted the broom with her tongue and 58 (tooth). Most of the time, she used the bristled end (刷毛端) to scratch her back skin. However, she switched 59 the stick end when scratchingher belly (腹部).
This behavior was only observed in chimpanzees. It is believed many cows might have this intelligence but never get the chance to show it. Cows have lived alongside humans for thousands of years, so 60 real surprise is that we have never recognized their smartness before.

One of the world’s most charming animals is rapidly disappearing from our planet. Can you guess which one it is? It has the 61 neck among all land animals, making it easy to be recognized. Yes, it’s the giraffe. A baby giraffe can 62 about 60 kilos when it is born, and it stops 63 at the age of 10. In the wild, giraffes can live up to 25 years.
Back in 1985, the global population of giraffes was between 152,000 and 163,000, and most of them lived in the thick 64 and wide grasslands of Africa. “The number of giraffes has dropped 65 since the 1980s,” says a report on endangered wild animals and plants.
Why are there fewer giraffes now than before? The main reason is that humans have cut 66 large numbers of trees to make space for more houses and farms. Besides, some people are also hunting giraffes for 67 meat. A worrying report warns, “Giraffes will disappear quietly in the near future. It is time to take action to protect giraffes 68 it is too late.”
Many people think that giraffes are common everywhere. Giraffes often appear in children’s books, and they are usually 69 in zoos. However, the truth is that giraffes are now in great 70 . Humans must stop killing endangered wild animals and make every effort to save them.

【知识点】人与动植物、记叙文、个人经历
【导语】本文讲述萨拉因面露怒色始终无法给马戴笼头,在男孩科迪点拨下明白马儿能看懂人脸情绪,她展露微笑后赢得马儿信任、顺利戴上笼头并懂得善意微笑能收获动物信赖的故事。
1.句意:这匹马拒绝让她把马笼头戴在它头上。
根据后文没有马笼头马就要被送回农场、女主一直尝试都没用可知,马儿不肯配合,refused“拒绝”符合;decided决定、forgot忘记、agreed同意均和上下文抵触。
2.句意:但每次她伸手去戴,阿玛多尔都会后退,因为马儿在她身边没有安全感。
结合后文马儿觉得不安全,会躲开,moved back“后退”符合;walked by走过、lay down躺下、came over走近都不符合害怕躲开的逻辑。
3.句意:一个名叫科迪的男孩说他知道问题出在哪里。
女主一直戴不上马笼头,遇到了难处,男孩懂症结所在,problem“问题”贴合;method方法、lesson教训、chance机会均不符语境。
4.句意:马儿能看懂人的表情。
后文用开心和生气的表情照片做实验,说明马儿能读懂人脸情绪,read“读懂、看懂”符合;copy模仿、compare对比、remember记住均不贴合句意。
5.句意:接着他拿出一张生气表情的照片,马儿变得害怕然后跑开了。
生气的人脸让马儿躲开,scared“害怕的”符合;bored无聊的、excited兴奋的、relaxed放松的都和跑开的行为矛盾。
6.句意:她太害怕失去这匹马,以至于自己都没发现脸上带着怒气。
前文女主不想失去马儿,一直焦虑,害怕失去,losing“失去”符合;trying尝试、playing玩耍、falling掉落均无对应文意。
7.句意:这一次,她先露出了微笑。
文末点明温暖的笑容能打动动物,所以女主改变神情,露出smile“微笑”;kiss亲吻、hug拥抱、nod点头都不是后文强调的关键点。
8.句意:萨拉慢慢举起马笼头,马儿主动配合戴上了。
女主放下焦虑、面带微笑,动作会轻柔稳妥,slowly“慢慢地”贴合安抚动物的状态;suddenly突然、shyly害羞地、wildly粗暴地均不合适。
9.句意:看到这一幕,萨拉满心感激。

Well-trained dogs obey their masters. They sit, stay and come when we speak directly to them. Do they understand 11 we say when we talk to other people?
Some people think that how we say something can be 12 than the words we say. Dogs keep an eye on our body language instead 13 our actual words. They listen to the tone (声调) of our voice. If we smile and say 14 , “Hey! Let’s go for a walk!”, our dogs 15 positively. However, if we say the same words in an angry voice, they may feel 16 .
Other scientists believe that dogs understand the actual meaning of many words. Scientists used MRI (磁共振成像) 17 the brain activity of dogs when talking to them at the same time. They learned that dogs deal with language like humans do. The left side of the brain deals with word meanings 18 the right side works on tones.
Dogs understand better when both sides of the brain 19 at the same time. In another MRI study, the 20 both sides of the brain worked when the scientists said “good boy” in a praising tone. If the same words were spoken in a neutral (无感情色彩的) tone, only the left side of the brain was active.
Our dogs know more than just “sit”, “stay” or “walk”. They can learn the meaning of many words and can learn that meaning even better when we say those words in the right tones.

Cats look like they’re solids, but they’re actually a little like liquids-at least that’s what a physics paper says, after watching videos of cats getting into small spaces. Now a scientist tested many cats to find out when they act like liquids and when they act like solids.
To test how cats react to different spaces, Pongrócz and his team designed a simple experiment. They set up small test areas in 29 cat owners’ houses. They used two pieces of cardboard on doorways. One had five holes of the same height but getting narrower. The other had five holes of the same width but getting shorter. Owners stood on one side, and the cats and researchers on the other. The cats had to push through the holes to get to their owners. Each test was recorded to watch the cats’ real actions clearly.
The results were surprising. 30 healthy cats took part and finished the test. 22 of them stopped and hesitated (犹豫) at the shortest hole, while only 8 stopped at the narrowest hole.
The study shows most cats can easily move through tall, narrow spaces, but they stop when the hole is too short to feel comfortable. Pongrócz says moving carefully through short holes may be a way to protect themselves. The fact that they stop at home shows they know their own body size and use it to decide how to move. This interesting study also helps people learn more about how animals judge their bodies and the world around them.
21.What can we learn from the first paragraph?
A.Cats like liquids. B.Cats enjoy small spaces.
C.Cats can act like liquids. D.Cats love watching videos.
22.Why did the scientists design two different kinds of holes?
A.To test cats’ speed in different situations.
B.To make the experiment more interesting.
C.To help cats find their owners more easily.
D.To test how cats react to height and width
23.What can we infer from the results?
A.Cats behave the same in experiments. B.Cats care more about height than width.
C.Cats prefer challenges in small spaces. D.Cats are unable to judge space correctly.
24.Why do cats hesitate at shorter holes?
A.They are afraid of getting hurt. B.They dislike their owners’ calls.
C.They cannot see clearly in low spaces. D.They are not trained to go through them.
25.What does the study mainly show?
A.Cats enjoy testing their physical limits.
B.Cats can change their shape like liquid.
C.Cats have a clear sense of their body size.
D.Cats behave differently at home and outside.

As winter 2025 comes, Shenzhen Bay Park and other coastal (沿海的) parks do a kind thing-they close early and turn off all lights at night. This action tries to make a quiet, dark place for migratory birds (候鸟) stopping here during their long trip.
Shenzhen is a vital stop on migratory birds’ flying path between East Asia and Australia. Every year, from October to May, nearly 100,000 birds of over 250 species stop here. The city has done more to protect these “guests”. Workers put up special streetlights in parks—these lights have soft yellow light that doesn’t hurt birds, and they’re good for them to build nests (鸟巢). Many buildings near the wetlands also use special glass, so birds won’t hit it by accident.
_ ▲ Workers have planted over 2,000 trees and fixed the natural water systems to make wetlands better. This gives birds plenty of food and safe places to live. Smart tools like AI cameras help watch birds without troubling them. Also, volunteers organize activities like cleaning the beach to keep the birds’ home tidy. These efforts show that a modern city can be a true friend to nature. Cities and nature can live well together when we care for wild animals. Everyone’s small actions can help protect the beautiful connection between humans and nature.
26.Why did Shenzhen’s coastal parks close early in winter?
A.To save energy for the city.
B.To create a quiet place for birds.
C.To reduce noise in the area.
D.To stop people watching birds.

Scientists have long known dolphins are among the smartest ocean animals. However, a recent study in the Gulf of Mexico shows their communication might be as hard as human language. Researchers discovered that wild dolphin families create special “signature whistles (标志性口哨)” to recognize each other, much like how people use names.
To test this, the team played underwater recordings of different dolphin whistles. When a dolphin heard its family’s special sound, it quickly swam towards the speaker. ________ This proved these sounds act like personal IDs. The study also found dolphins mix whistles in creative ways to share messages, such as warning about danger or pointing out food locations.
Interestingly, baby dolphins spend months practicing these sounds, just like human babies learning to talk. This suggests adult dolphins actively teach their young, which is an unusual behavior in the animal world. Scientists say this finding helps us understand how intelligence develops in different species.
Sea biologists believe studying dolphin language could help protection efforts. For example, knowing how dolphins communicate about dangers might help protect them from ocean pollution or ship noises. Already, some teams are using AI tools to decode dolphin sounds immediately. In this way, humans could better watch dolphin health and create safer sea environments.
This research not only deepens our love for dolphins’ intelligence but also reminds us to protect these amazing animals and their underwater home.
31.What did dolphins do when hearing their family’s whistle?
A.They swam away quickly. B.They repeated the same sound.
C.They moved toward the sound. D.They warned others of danger.
32.Which of the following can be put in “________” in Paragraph 2?
A.However, it copied unknown sounds like “Hello”.
B.However, it ate fish happily when hearing strange calls.
C.However, it paid no attention to whistles from unknown groups.
D.However, it swam faster when boats made loud engine sounds.
33.How do baby dolphins learn communication according to the text?
A.Through long-time practice. B.By copying their mothers.
C.With human help. D.Using AI technology.
34.What does the underlined word “decode” in Paragraph 4 most probably mean?
A.Recognize. B.Translate. C.Copy. D.Listen.
35.What is the best title for the passage?
A.Saving Dolphins in the Ocean B.Baby Dolphins’ Learning Journey
C.How AI Helps Dolphin Research D.The Amazing Whistle Language
【答案】31.C 32.C 33.A 34.B 35.D
【知识点】常见动物、说明文
【导语】本文介绍了研究发现海豚通过独特的“标志性口哨”进行交流,其复杂程度堪比人类语言,并探讨了这一发现对保护海豚的意义。
31.第二段指出:“When a dolphin heard its family’s special sound, it quickly swam towards the speaker.”,说明海豚听到家人的哨声时会游向声源。
32.前文指出海豚听到家人哨声会游过去,后文指出这些声音像个人身份证明,因此空格处应说明海豚对陌生哨声的反应——不理会。C项“对未知群体的哨声不予理会”符合逻辑。
33.第三段指出:“baby dolphins spend months practicing these sounds, just like human babies learning to talk.”,说明它们通过长时间练习学习交流。
34.第四段指出科学家用AI工具“decode”海豚声音,以便更好地监测海豚健康,结合语境,“decode”意为“破译、解码”,与“translate”最接近。
35.全文围绕海豚的哨声语言展开,介绍了其识别功能、学习过程及研究意义,因此“神奇的哨声语言”最能概括全文主旨。

(广东省深圳市福田区2025-2026学年九年级上学期期末英语试题)
Do you remember “Flash,” the funny sloth (树懒) who does everything slowly in the movie Zootopia? Real sloths, however, are not just funny; they show us a different way to live.
Sloths are slow because they only eat leaves, which give them very little energy. Moving slowly helps them save energy. Their stomachs work very slowly, too. It can take them a month to break down one meal of leaves.
Most sloths live high in the rainforest of Central and South America. They are fantastic climbers. In fact, they spend almost their whole lives hanging upside down in tall trees. Being high up in the trees keeps them safe from predators on the ground.
About once a week, sloths climb down to poop (大便) This trip is dangerous, but it is important to nature. Tiny moths (飞蛾) live in sloths’ fur. They lay eggs in sloths’ poop and then fly back to the sloths. On the way, moths bring tiny bits of algae (藻类) to sloths’ fur. These algae grow and turn the fur green, so sloths can hide in the leaves. In this way, the algae, the moths, and the sloths are all able to survive in the forest.
By learning about sloths, we see that every living thing, no matter how slow or small, has a job in nature’s big family. Being slow can be smart. Protecting nature means protecting every living thing
36.How does the writer begin the text?
A.By using a saying. B.By asking a question. C.By listing numbers. D.By showing problems.
37.What best describes sloths in paragraph 2?
A.Cinema fans. B.Tree climbers. C.Leaf guards D.Energy savers.
38.What does the underlined word predators in paragraph 3 probably mean?
A.People who take care of sloths. B.Plants that provide food for sloths.
C.Animals that may hunt and eat sloths. D.Animals that share the rainforest with sloths.
39.Why is the weekly trip important to nature?
A.It helps the algae to hide better. B.It creates more food for insects.
C.It keeps a simple life cycle going. D.It allows sloths to find new friends.
40.What is the best title for the text?
A.Sloths’ Wisdom B.Call for Protection C.Rainforest Secrets D.Lazy but Necessary

(2026年广东省深圳南山实验麒麟中学九年级一模英语试题)
In winter, lakes and rivers in cold areas often freeze over. Thick ice forms on the surface and the water may look completely frozen. In some very cold regions, animals such as seals, penguins and many sea birds live near icy waters and feed on fish. Yet fish and many other water animals can still survive under the ice all winter long. How do they manage to live in such icy water?
One reason is that only the top layer of water freezes. When the air temperature drops below 0°C, the surface water cools first and turns into ice. The water below the ice, however, remains liquid and still contains oxygen. Because of this, fish can breathe and move normally under the frozen surface.
But why doesn’t the whole lake freeze like a giant ice cube? The answer lies in the unusual behavior of water. When the surface water cools to about 4℃, it becomes denser (密度大的) than warmer water (for example, water around 6℃) and sinks to the bottom of the lake. As this happens, warmer water from below rises to the surface and cools again. Through this continuous process, the surface water eventually freezes while the deeper water remains around 4℃.
The ice on the surface also plays an important role. It acts like a blanket and reduces the loss of heat from the water below. This helps keep the lower water from becoming too cold for fish to live in.
Some fish living in very cold seas even produce a kind of antifreeze substance (防冻物质) that prevents their body from freezing. With the help of nature and their own abilities, fish are able to survive the long winter under the ice.
41.What surprising fact is mentioned in paragraph 1?
A.Birds catch fish in winter. B.Ice forms mainly in polar seas.
C.Rivers freeze earlier than lakes. D.Fish can still live under frozen lakes.
42.Why can fish breathe under ice?
A.Ice provides fresh air for fish. B.Air can pass easily through ice.
C.Water under ice still has oxygen. D.Fish come to the surface for fresh air.
43.What happens to water when it cools to about 4℃?
A.The water becomes lighter. B.The water stays on the surface.
C.The water turns into ice quickly. D.The water moves down to the bottom.
44.How does the ice cover help fish live in winter?
A.It stops the water from moving too fast. B.It produces antifreeze substance for fish.
C.It slows down heat loss from the water below. D.It keeps the water temperature above freezing.
45.In which part of a website can we probably read this article?
A.Animal Care Tips B.Science and Nature
C.Daily Weather Report D.Travel around the World
【答案】41.D 42.C 43.D 44.C 45.B
【知识点】常见动物、科普知识、说明文
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要阐述了在寒冷地区冬季湖泊河流结冰时,鱼类等水生动物如何在冰下生存的现象及原因。
41.第一段“Yet fish and many other water animals can still survive under the ice all winter long.”直接说明,在寒冷的冬季,鱼类和许多其他水生动物仍然能够在冰下生存,这是一个令人惊讶的事实。
42.第二段“The water below the ice, however, remains liquid and still contains oxygen. Because of this, fish can breathe and move normally under the frozen surface.”说明冰下的水仍然是液态且含有氧气,所以鱼类可以在冰下呼吸。
43.第三段“When the surface water cools to about 4℃, it becomes denser (密度大的) than warmer water (for example, water around 6℃) and sinks to the bottom of the lake.”直接给出答案,说明当水面水温降至约4℃时,它会变得比更温暖的水密度大,然后下沉到湖底。
44.第四段“The ice on the surface also plays an important role. It acts like a blanket and reduces the loss of heat from the water below. This helps keep the lower water from becoming too cold for fish to live in.”直接说明冰层就像一条毯子,减少了下方水体的热量散失,有助于保持下层水体的温度,使鱼类能够生存。
45.文章主要围绕鱼类等水生动物在寒冷冬季冰下生存的科学原理展开,涉及自然现象和科学知识,所以最有可能在网站的“Science and Nature”(科学与自然)部分读到这篇文章,答案选B。

(2026年广东省深圳福田区石厦学校中考一模考试英语试题)
Bertie lived on a farm in Africa with his family. His best friend was a white lion he had raised since it was a cub (幼崽). Every night, the lion would lie beside him, its warm head resting on his feet.
One evening, Bertie’s father said, “You are almost eight years old now. It’s time for you to go to school in England.”
Bertie’s heart sank. “But what about my lion?” he asked.
His father looked away. “I have sold him to a circus (马戏团) owner from France. He will come for him in a few days.”
“No!” Bertie cried. “You can’t send him to a circus! He will be locked behind bars. People will laugh at him. He would rather die!” But he could see that his parents had already made up their minds.
That night, Bertie waited until everyone was asleep. Quietly, he took his father’s rifle (步枪) and walked out into the darkness with his lion following close behind. He ran until the sun began to rise over the grassland.
Sitting on a hilltop, Bertie hugged the lion tightly. “You must be wild now,” he whispered. “Don’t ever come back. I will always remember you, I promise.”
He stood up and walked away. But when he looked back, the lion was following him. Bertie shouted and threw stones, but the lion kept coming.
With tears streaming down his face, Bertie lifted the rifle and fired into the air—over the lion’s head. The loud sound echoed (回响) across the grassland. The lion stopped, turned, and slowly walked back into the wild.
Bertie watched until it disappeared from sight. He knew he would never see his friend again, but at least the lion was free.
46.Who bought the lion from Bertie’s father?
A.A farmer in Africa. B.A headmaster from England.
C.A zookeeper from the city. D.A circus owner from France.
47.What led to his decision to run away with the lion?
A.He showed deep love and courage. B.He was afraid of going to school.
C.He wanted to live in the wild. D.He hoped to punish his parents.
48.Why did Bertie fire the rifle into the air?
A.To call for help from other people. B.To show his anger at his father.
C.To hurt the lion but not kill it. D.To scare the lion away so it could be free.
49.How did Bertie’s feelings change during the story?
A.From anger at his father to acceptance of his decision.
B.From fear of going to school to excitement about England.
C.From excitement about living in Africa to disappointment about leaving.
D.From hope of keeping the lion to understanding he must let go.
50.What is the best title for the story?
A.A Circus in Africa B.Bertie’s School Life
C.A Difficult Goodbye D.The Lion’s Adventure
【答案】46.D 47.A 48.D 49.D 50.C
【知识点】常见动物、记叙文
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文,主要讲述了Bertie为了不让自己养大的狮子被卖给马戏团,连夜带狮子逃跑并忍痛将其放归野外的故事。
46.第四段明确指出“I have sold him to a circus owner from France.”,这直接说明买狮子的是一位来自法国的马戏团老板。
47.根据第五段“Bertie cried. ‘You can’t send him to a circus! He will be locked behind bars. People will laugh at him. ”Bertie...”及第六段“Quietly, he took his father’s rifle and walked out into the darkness with his lion...”可知,得知狮子要被卖给马戏团后,为了保护自己最好的朋友,带着狮子连夜逃跑,这一行为源于他对狮子深厚的爱与勇气。
48.根据原文第九段“With tears streaming down his face, Bertie lifted the rifle and fired into the air—over the lion’s head. The loud sound echoed across the grassland.”可知,Bertie对着狮子的头顶开枪,是为了用巨大的声响吓走狮子,让狮子彻底回归野外、获得自由,而不是伤害它。
49.故事开头Bertie满心希望能留住狮子,不愿它被送走;最终他忍痛开枪吓走狮子,明白必须放手让狮子获得自由,情绪从“希望留住狮子”转变为“理解必须放手”。
50.全文围绕Bertie与狮子艰难的告别展开,核心是Bertie为了狮子的自由,忍痛与挚友分别的故事,因此最佳标题是“A Difficult Goodbye”。

Scientists have reported the first known case of a cow using a tool. Veronika, a pet cow living in Austria, 51 (study) as she used a broom to scratch(搔痒) different parts of her body. The study suggests that cows may be far 52 (smart) than many people believe.
Veronika is no ordinary cow, mainly 53 she is kept as a pet rather than a farm animal. This allows her to do whatever she wants, whenever she wants. She often suffers from itchy spots (发痒的红点) on her skin caused by horsefly bites. According to her owner, Veronika 54 (pick) up sticks with her mouth and used them to scratch herself for years. She was never taught this skill; she 55 (simple) figured it out on her own.
A scientist who studies how animals solve problems, became interested after 56 (watch) a video of Veronika. She decided to run an experiment offering Veronika a broom 57 (see) if the cow could use it to scratch herself. Veronika lifted the broom with her tongue and 58 (tooth). Most of the time, she used the bristled end (刷毛端) to scratch her back skin. However, she switched 59 the stick end when scratchingher belly (腹部).
This behavior was only observed in chimpanzees. It is believed many cows might have this intelligence but never get the chance to show it. Cows have lived alongside humans for thousands of years, so 60 real surprise is that we have never recognized their smartness before.
