After an animal dies,its body usually rots (away or is eaten by other animals.But if the remains are quickly covered and kept safe from weather and hungry animals,the fossil-forming process can begin. Over time,sand and soil cover the animal's body.Any remaining soft parts of the body,such as skin,then rot away,leaving only the hard bones.At this point,the remains are only partly fossilized. As sea levels rise and the ground changes,the animal's body is buried ( deeper underground.The earth around it becomes hard under great pressure( )Slowly,the bones disappear and leave nothing but an empty space. Over a very long time,this cavity is slowly filled with hard materials from the ground.These hard materials take the place of the old bones.As the land changes again,the fossil moves closer to the surface.Finally,it may be found by people. 11.According to the passage,what is the first step in the fossil-forming process? A.The animal's bones will disappear over time. B.The animal's soft parts,such as skin,rot away. C.The animal's body is quickly covered and protected. D.The animal goes deep underground by rising sea levels. 12.What does the underlined word "cavity"most likely mean? A.A soft part of the body. B.An empty hole or space. C.A pile of sand and soil. D.A material from the ground. 13.Why are fossils rare according to the passage? A.Most animals die in places where they cannot be easily found. B.The forming process requires certain conditions and a long time. C.Sea levels rarely rise enough to bury animal remains underground. D.Hard materials from the ground can fill the holes quickly enough. 夕 When my sister Louisa and I attended Mr.Hawkins'school,we had to walk through thick woods every day.There was no proper road,so our father marked trees with cuts to guide us.For most of the winter,we followed the trees safely,but one morning,everything changed. That morning,a heavy snow began to fall.Mother stood at the door,and said worriedly,"John,the snow's getting heavy.Maybe the children should stay home today." Dad shook his head."A little snow never hurt anybody.When I was their age,I walked through worse. 初三英语第2页共8页 They'll be just fine."We left happily,but as we walked farther,the snow covered the marked trees,and we gradually(逐渐地)lost our way.. We decided to head north to follow a young man's footprints.However,the snow kept falling harder, and the footprints became unclear.Louisa held my arm so hard."Oliver,what if we never find the way?" Her voice was shaking.I tried to look brave."I'll get us out of here.Just stay close to me."Inside,though, my heart was beating fast.Then a thought hit us:what if these weren't a man's footprints at all?What if they belonged to a bear?We couldn't help crying,realizing we were truly lost. But we knew a little about the woods-not much,but maybe enough.We calmed down and kept following the footprints.Finally,we walked into a clearing and saw a small house.We ran over and knocked. To our surprise,it was our neighbor Aunt Polly who opened the door. When she heard our story,she laughed,"So you two brave ones were following my old cow Bessie! She's smarter than she looks and brought you right to my door."Aunt Polly took us in,warmed us up by the fire,and sent us home safely.It was a terrible but unforgettable day for Louisa and me. -Adapted from Home In Woods 14.How did Louisa feel,according to Paragraph 4? A.Afraid. B.Calm. C.Brave. D.Excited. 15.Which of the following is the correct order? 1The children were lost in the woods. 2Trees were marked to guide the children. 3Dad walked through worse weather. OAunt Polly took the children in her house. A.②③①④ B.②③④① C.③②④① D.③②①④ 16.What helped Louisa and Oliver get out of the woods? A.The marks made on the trees. B.Footprints that belonged to a cow. C.Aunt Polly coming to look for them. D.Their memory of the way back home. 17.What can be learnt from the story? A.Parents should always care about their children.

But this river has two dangerous banks ()If you hit the bank of chaos,you'll feel out of control.You might scream,cry or act without thinking.Nothing feels river of right. happiness If you went too close to the other side,you hit the bank of rigidity.Here, everything is stuck.You refuse to change or listen to others.You need to control everything and everyone around you.The water is dirty and smelly because nothing can move freely. We all move between these two banks sometimes.The goal is to spend as much time as possible in the 初三英语第3页共8页 peaceful flow between them. This doesn't just happen to adults-kids have their own boats too!Many parenting challenges happen when children leave the flow and hit one of the banks. For example,think about a three-year-old at the park.When he refuses to share his toy boat with a new friend,that's rigidity.But when his friend takes the boat anyway,he blows up-screaming,crying,and throwing sand-that's chaos.His negative feelings have completely taken over. Older kids do this too.Imagine a fifth-grader who loses the lead role in a school play.She might cry (chaos)while insisting she has the best acting skill in the whole grade(rigidity).She's moving between both banks! When you see chaos or rigidity in yourself or your kids,it means someone's brain isn't working in a balanced way.The good news is that once you notice which bank they are moving toward,you can help guide them back into the calm flow of happiness. 18.How does the writer start the passage? A.By listing some numbers. B.By comparing two things. C.By building a picture in mind. D.By giving some suggestions. 19.In the three pictures, shows being on the bank of“chaos'”,and shows“rigidity”. Life is so good They're wrong! 2 I hate this I will not change I'm exactly where drawing! Ibelong. my mind! A.③① B.③② c.①③ D.①② 20.What can be inferred from paragraph 6-7? A.Only kids can have negative feelings. B.Playing a lead role can bring kids chaos. C.Parents should keep kids away from rivers. D.One can experience both chaos and rigidity. 21.What's the best title for the article? A.A New Way to Live a Successful Life B.The Two banks:Which one is better in life? C.The River of Happiness:Finding the Balance D.Understanding Your Kid's Impolite Behaviors D Deep in the mountains of Guizhou Province,there is a strange forest.You cannot see most of it, because it grows inside a cave. In March 2026,visitors to Maolan saw something unusual. The trees above ground were short and thin.But their roots ( went down into a dark cave-as deep as 15.8 meters.The roots break through hard rocks,follow tiny cracks in the cave wall,and finally reach an underground river.This gives the trees water in a place where water is hard to find.People call this place an"underground reverse(反转)forest'”. The roots are surprisingly large.They can take up more than half of the tree's total weight.The trees 初三英语第4页共8页 put most of their energy into growing roots,not leaves or sticks.This is how they live in such a hard place. Why do trees grow this way?The answer lies in the land..Maolan has a Karst landform(喀斯特地s貌)， In Karst areas,there is very little soil.Rainwater does not stay on the surface-it quickly flows down through cracks in the rock.If a tree wants to survive,its roots cannot stay near the top.They must go deep. So the trees have developed a special way of living:above ground,they hold onto rocks;underground,their roots go straight down to find water. But water is not the only thing the roots find in the cave.The cave also gives them food.Bats'waste and dead leaves fall into the cave from above.Over many years,these things break down and become rich soil inside the cave.This soil is full of nutrients (that feed the roots.With both water and food from the cave,the underground root system and the trees above ground work together as one living community. This discovery is not just interesting,it also helps us think about a bigger problem.In many Karst areas, the land turns into rocky desert.This is called stony desertification ()By learning how these trees survive,we may find new ways to bring back life to this kind of poor land. The underground reverse forest teaches us something important.Life is strong and clever.Even in the darkest,rockiest place,it finds a way to grow.And sometimes,what we cannot see is just as important as what we can see. 22.Why do people call the forest an"underground reverse forest"? A.The trees can survive in terrible environment. B.There is almost no soil or water on the surface. C.The trees are very short and thin above ground. D.The roots are larger than the part above the ground. 23.Which of the following correctly completes the mind map? the underground reverse forest grows in Karst areas Little soil.Water 2 Roots grow deep quickly goes down. into the cave. A.Leaves fall into the cave and become soil. B.The tree grows up toward the sky for sunlight. C.The tree needs to find water from underground.D.The cave can offer nutrients to bats and leaves. 24.What is the meaning of discovering the reverse forest? A.It proves that trees can grow without any water. B.It helps us find new ways to help fix the poor land C.It tells us to cut down fewer trees and protect them. D.It shows caves are the best place for planting forests 25.What does the writer want to show in the last paragraph? A.To explain how the underground roots break through hard rock. B.To show the writer admires nature and wants us to learn from it. C.To remind readers that stony desertification is a serious problem. D.To give a summary of the main facts mentioned in this passage. 第三部分信息还原（共5小题：每小题1分，满分5分） 请认真阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项 涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。 初三英语第5页共8页 Have you ever thought that one day you wouldn't have to take out the trash()yourself?This is already happening in Hangzhou.People there can now use a smartphone app to call a collector who comes to their door to pick up recyclable waste like cardboard and plastics.26 With these points, citizens are more willing to recycle.
