Sharing your hobby with others will bring you more happiness. ③ Take it easy Don’t treat your hobby as a new study task. You don’t have to be perfect at it. The purpose of having a hobby is to enjoy yourself, not to compete with others. If you only care about being better than others, you will lose the real fun of your hobby. Just enjoy the process and grow slowly. ④ Keep it simple You don’t need to learn too many hobbies at the same time. One or two meaningful hobbies are enough. Learning too many hobbies will make you tired and you can’t do any of them well. Focus on one thing, keep practicing, and you will gain rewards sooner or later. Hobbies are the treasure of our teenage life. They accompany us through hard study days, comfort us when we are upset, and help us become better versions of ourselves.

Here are some useful suggestions for middle school students. First, choose a hobby according to your own interest. Interest is the best teacher. Never follow others blindly just because your classmates like it. If you are quiet and like staying alone, you can choose reading, drawing or playing the piano. If you are active and like sports, you can try running, ball games or mountain climbing. Only when you really like it can you keep it for a long time. Second, arrange your time reasonably. As Grade Nine students, our main task is studying. We can’t spend too much time on our hobbies and ignore our schoolwork. We can take one or two hours every day or on weekends to do what we like. Don’t let hobbies take up your study time, and don’t give up your hobby completely because of busy study either. Balance is the key. Third, stick to your hobby and never give up easily. Any hobby needs long-term persistence. You may meet difficulties at the beginning. For example, you may feel tired when learning to play basketball, or feel it hard to understand classic books. Don’t give up. Keep practicing and you will make progress day by day. Fourth, choose healthy and positive hobbies. Stay away from bad hobbies such as playing online games all night, wasting time on meaningless short videos. Good hobbies can cultivate your taste, improve your ability and make your teenage life more colorful. 12．How many suggestions does the writer give? A．Three. B．Four. C．Five. D．Six. 13．What does the writer advise us to do when choosing a hobby? A．Follow classmates’ choice. B．Choose according to our own interests. C．Only choose quiet hobbies.

D．Spending all time on hobbies. 15．What may happen when we start a new hobby? A．We will become famous soon. B．We may meet some difficulties. C．We will have no time to study. D．We will make no friends. 16．The passage mainly tells us ________. A．how to develop a good hobby B．the best hobbies for students C．how to give up bad hobbies D．why we need hobbies We all talk to ourselves sometimes, but not everyone does it in the same way. How you do it can make a big difference to your life. The good news is that you can learn to improve your self-talk. First of all, listen to what you say to yourself. If you always tell yourself that you are not smart or good enough, you may start to believe it. Try to change negative (负面的) self-talk into positive (乐观的) self-talk. You can use words like “can” or “will”. For example, you may say, “I will write a great article.” Also, you can try to use the second or third person in your self-talk. In a study, scientist Ethan Kross asked 89 people to give a speech—with only five minutes to get ready. As they prepared, he asked some to use “I” in their self-talk. These people were more likely to be nervous. They said things like, “I can’t prepare a speech in five minutes.” The rest were asked to call themselves “you” or by their own names. They were more likely to give themselves support. They said things like, “Ethan, you can do this!” “Talking in the second or third person helps people put some distance (距离) between themselves and their feelings,” said Kross. It helps people think more clearly about their own problems, just as they think about other people’s. By changing how you talk to yourself, you can feel better and more assured. This can help you do things you didn’t think you could do before. It’s like having a friend in your head who gives you encouragement and support. So next time you suddenly notice you’re talking to yourself, try to make it positive and use “you” or your own name. You might be surprised at how much better you feel and how much more you can achieve. 23．What should people do if their self-talk is negative? A．Stop talking to themselves completely. B．Use positive words like “can” or “will”. C．Only speak to others instead of themselves. D．Write down all their negative thoughts. 24．How might people who used “I” in self-talk feel according to Ethan Kross? A．More confident. B．More nervous. C．More excited. D．More relaxed. 25．How does using “you” in self-talk help people? A．It helps people remember past successes. B．It makes people forget about their problems. C．It makes people focus on other people’s feelings. D．It creates distance between people and their feelings. 26．What does the underlined word “assured” mean in Paragraph 5? A．Outgoing. B．Confident. C．Talented. D．Independent. 27．What is the best title for the text? A．How to Give a Speech B．How to Support Yourself C．How to Improve Your Self-talk D．How to Change Negative Self-talk It’s 2 a.m., and you have an important test in seven hours. You have been studying for days, but you still don’t feel ready. What can you do? Maybe you could drink another cup of coffee and keep studying. But believe it or not, it’s better for you to close your books and go to sleep. Sleep takes up nearly one third of our lives. However, many people do not pay enough attention to it. This is because of the wrong idea about sleep. Sleep is not a waste of time. It is a very important process. While you sleep, your body rests and repairs itself, and still keeps working well. Sleep is also very important for your brain. About one fifth of your blood goes to your brain when you sleep. At night, your brain is busy organizing information. This is very important for your memory. The 19th-century scientist Hermann Ebbinghaus found that people usually forget 40% of new information in the first 20 minutes. This is called the forgetting curve(曲线). However, this losing of information can be avoided through memory consolidation (巩固). One of the most important things for memory consolidation is a good night’s sleep. During sleep, important knowledge is brought back again and stored as long-term memories. This is why sleeping after studying is highly helpful. Not getting enough sleep not only hurts your health but also makes it harder to remember what you have learned. That is why people say, “Sleep on it.” While you sleep, your brain is building new connections. With enough sleep, you will wake up with a clearer, more powerful brain, ready to face the day. 34．What is the writer’s opinion in Para. 1? A．Good sleep is better than staying up late to study. B．It’s necessary to drink coffee when studying late. C．Studying for days can help pass an important test. D．It’s impossible to get ready for a test in seven hours. 35．What does the body do when we sleep? A．It stops all its work to save energy for the brain. B．It sends all blood to the brain to help memorize. C．It starts to learn new knowledge again and stores it. D．It rests, repairs itself and still keeps working well. 36．What can we know from Para. 3? A．People will forget all new information in 20 minutes. B．The forgetting curve can be stopped by drinking coffee. C．Memory consolidation is important to avoid losing information. D．New information can be stored as long-term memories without sleep. 37．What does the underlined phrase “Sleep on it” mean in the passage? A．Sleep to forget the trouble of studying. B．Sleep to help the brain remember knowledge. C．Sleep all night and give up studying for the test. D．Sleep to make the body stronger for studying. 38．What is the main purpose of the passage? A．To tell the importance of sleep for memory. B．To explain why people forget information easily. C．To introduce the finding of Hermann Ebbinghaus. D．To advise people to drink less coffee when studying. 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. 45．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. 46．What does the underlined word “vital” in Paragraph 2 mean? A．Important. B．Common. C．Quiet. D．Happy. 47．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. 48．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. 49．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 In recent years, more and more people have thought that the younger generation (一代人) is staying away from the news, but this couldn’t be further from the truth. 85% of the young say that keeping up to date with the news is important to them, and 69% receive news every day. The older generation likes reading newspapers. However, the younger generation does not buy a daily newspaper. This doesn’t mean that they don’t follow the news. Born into the age of the Internet, the younger generation simply receives the news through digital devices such as computers and smartphones, compared with only 21% of older people. The Internet plays an important part in offering the news to the younger generation. ▲ They choose to follow it once they see it. For example, news headlines appear. These catch the user’s eye and the user reads them. At present, young people don’t depend on social media for the serious news. According to a study, motivations (动机) for following the news are also diverse according to the generation. For the younger generation, the news is largely about being convenient. For the older generation, however, the motivation is greatly about the habit. All in all, it is fair to say that news plays an important part in all our everyday lives. However, what is the difference between the generations is why and how it is received. 56．What is a common wrong idea about young people? A．They use the Internet for news. B．They prefer reading newspapers. C．They don’t care about other people. D．They don’t follow the news at all. 57．Which of the following can be put in “ ▲ ” in Paragraph 3? A．However, young people don’t look for news there actively. B．Social media is the only way they get news. C．They spend hours every day checking news online. D．Older people also use social media for serious news. 58．What does the underlined word “diverse” mean in Paragraph 4? A．Similar. B．Common. C．Different. D．Popular. 59．What does the passage suggest about the news? A．It is only important for older people. B．It is mostly followed in traditional ways. C．Reading it is only a habit of the younger generation. D．It is important for younger and older generations but received differently. 60．Which is the best title for the passage? A．Different Generations’ Online Activities B．News Habits: the Young VS the Old C．The Younger Generation’s Living Habits D．Why the Younger Generation Goes Online As the weather gets warmer, what do you want to do for fun? It’s the perfect time to plan a day at the beach. At the beach, you can enjoy activities like swimming, surfing and building something in the sand. However, it’s important to keep beach safety in mind. Now there is a new AI water management system (管理系统) that can help prevent drownings (溺水). Sightbit, a new safety program, which was developed by a company, can be used to help save lives. This program was created after its creator saw someone drowning in the Dead Sea. He believed this could be stopped and then he started working on this technology. The Sightbit system works by using cameras at the beach to read the situations in the water. The AI is able to watch the videos and find dangers. For example, it can tell when the waves (海浪) are dangerous or if someone is in trouble in the water. The system can also tell the difference between adults, children and different kinds of boats. This information helps rescuers know where and when someone needs help. Then they will receive warnings on devices (设备) like smartphones or smartwatches. In this way, they can act quickly to stop accidents. Now this technology is used on many beaches around the world, and in both public and private places. The creator’s goal is to let every beach be a safe place where people can enjoy their time without worries. This technology shows how science and caring for others can make a big difference in keeping us safe while we are having fun. It’s a great example of what can be achieved when we use new ideas to solve real-world problems. 67．How does the writer lead into the topic “beach safety” in Paragraph 1? A．By telling a story. B．By making a survey. C．By listing numbers. D．By asking a question. 68．Why did the creator create this AI water management system? A．Because he hoped to have better water conditions. B．Because he was interested in different kinds of boats. C．Because he wanted to prevent drownings at the beach. D．Because he needed to record the number of people swimming. 69．What does the underlined word “rescuers” mean? A．The persons who watch over beaches to ensure safety. B．The persons who help people to catch fish in the ocean. C．The persons who teach swimming lessons to children and adults. D．The persons who clean the beach and pick up rubbish near water. 70．What do we know from the last paragraph? A．Technology makes us safe but stops us from having fun. B．This technology will be used in many beaches all over the world soon. C．The development of technology comes from solving problems in life. D．The creator of this technology doesn’t want it to be used in private beaches. 71．What is the text mainly about? A．Fun activities at the beach. B．The rules for swimming safety. C．A new AI system improves beach safety. D．Tips for protecting the beach environment. China has a special system of 24 solar terms (节气) that help people understand the cycle of seasons and changes in weather. Chunfen, or the Spring Equinox, as the 4th solar term, usually falls around March 20 or 21. During Chunfen, the sun shines straight on the equator, so day and night are of the same length all over the world. Chunfen holds a more important position than many other solar terms. There is a well-known saying in China, which goes, “Chunfen divides the spring and balances (平衡) the yin and yang.” In ancient times, it was highly paid attention to. It is a period when all things come back to life, a bit like a lively celebration for the arrival of spring. In northern China, it is a common custom for people to fly kites on Chunfen. Many families go out together to fly colorful kites, sharing a comfortable and joyful feeling. Since kites fly high in the sky, flying kites is believed to help people get good luck and keep bad luck away in the new spring. In the south of China, eating spring vegetables is also the traditional food for this day, usually cooked with fish slices into a soup called “spring soup”. Eating spring vegetables symbolizes good health and a new start. Some areas have a custom of worshipping the sun during Chunfen. People present sacrifices and pray for good luck and peace—hoping everything goes well in the coming farming season. Another activity is standing eggs, which is a popular folk game on this day. As Chunfen marks the balance of day and night, people believe it is the easiest day to stand an egg upright, expressing their hope for a happy and prosperous year. To sum up, Chunfen is not just a solar term. It is also a necessary part of Chinese culture. It makes people feel a strong sense of connection with nature and take pride in their culture during the lively spring. 78．Which solar term is Chunfen? A．The 3rd. B．The 4th. C．The 21st. D．The 22nd. 79．What do people in southern China traditionally eat on Chunfen? A．Cakes. B．Tangyuan. C．Dumplings. D．Spring vegetables and spring soup. 80．What is the right order of the following ideas from the passage? ①People pray for peace and good harvest. ②Chunfen becomes an important part of Chinese culture. ③Families fly kites together outdoors. ④Day and night are in balance on Chunfen. A．④→③→①→② B．①→③→④→② C．④→①→③→② D．③→④→①→② 81．Which of the following is TRUE about Chunfen? A．It is the 5th solar term in China. B．Flying kites is a custom in southern China. C．It is an important part of Chinese culture. D．People only worship the sun on Chunfen. 82．What is the main idea of the passage? A．How to fly kites in spring. B．How to make spring soup. C．How to balance day and night. D．Something about the solar term—Chunfen. Most of us realize that we must take care of the environment, and most of us take steps to save energy and reduce waste and pollution. But recently, some “green truths” have been shown to be only half true, or even completely false. Here are some common ones. Which are really green? Paper shopping bags are better than plastic ones. Plastic bags cause litter and are a danger to wild animals, which mistake them for food. It takes hundreds of years for plastic to break down, but much less time for paper. Because of this, people think paper bags are the better environmental choice. However, making a paper bag uses four times as much energy as making a plastic bag. The process also produces more greenhouse gases. In fact, both kinds of bags are bad for the environment. So, take a reusable bag with you when you go shopping. When you turn off a device (电器), it stops using power. When we turn off a device, such as television, it goes into standby mode. Devices still use power. This happens because electricity continues to leak (漏) from the device, even when it is turned “off”. To make sure your device is in fact off, remove the plug from its power supply. Eating local food is good for the environment. It seems like common sense: eating local food should be better for the environment, because it does not need to be transported long distances and kept cold during transport. Unfortunately, it is not that simple. The production of food uses most of the energy and produces most of the greenhouse gases. In some cases, local produce might have used more energy and produced more greenhouse gases than products grown a long way away. It’s better to take a shower than a bath. It depends on how long you spend in the shower and how large your bath is. If you spend more than eight minutes in a shower, you’ll use as much water as in a bath—about 50 liters of water. Therefore, the key is to keep your shower time as short as possible. Environmental awareness is now part of daily life. But it’s worth checking common ideas and opinions to see what’s really green. 89．What does the writer advise people to use when going shopping? A．Paper bags. B．Plastic bags. C．Reusable bags. D．cloth bags. 90．Why do devices still use power when they are turned “off”? A．Because they are broken. B．Because they are in stand-by mode and electricity leaks. C．Because the power button is not pressed hard enough. D．Because they need power to stay connected to the Internet. 91．What can we infer about local food from the passage? A．It is always more environmentally friendly. B．It is always more expensive than imported food. C．It might not be as green as people think in some cases. D．It tastes better than food from far away. 92．What does the word “leak” most probably mean? A．To stop suddenly. B．To escape slowly. C．To increase quickly. D．To disappear completely. 93．What is the main idea of the passage? A．We should stop all activities that are bad for the environment. B．We should question common “green truths” to understand what is truly green. C．All traditional environmental ideas are wrong. D．It is impossible to live a green life. Lake Victoria is the largest lake in Africa. It is also the second largest freshwater lake in the world. It is very important because it helps to feed the longest river in Africa, the Nile. The lake furnishes water, food and electricity for the people in several African countries. Unluckily, Lake Victoria is in trouble. It is becoming smaller. In Uganda, there are power stations (发电站) at the lake’s outlet (出口) to the Nile. These stations make electricity and also help to control how much water is in the lake. The water level used to be high, but it is now falling. There are a few reasons why this might be happening. One reason could be the dry weather. The area has had very little rain in recent years. The dry weather means there is less water in the lake. However, some experts think the real problem is the power stations. Many people think the stations are using too much water from the lake. There have been calls for the stations to manage their water use more carefully to help the lake’s water level recover. This problem makes us think: How should people live with nature? We need nature’s water and power, but we must not use too much. If we take more than nature can give, it will cause problems in the end. 根据材料内容选择最佳答案。 100．Which of the following can take the place of “furnishes” in the text? A．saves. B．provides. C．Carries. D．Fights. 101．Why is the dry weather a serious problem for Lake Victoria? A．Because it is a clear sign of climate change. B．Because it makes the water in the lake less. C．Because it makes the power stations stop working. D．Because it is the only reason why the lake is getting smaller. 102．What is the main idea of Paragraph 4? A．The dry weather is the only problem of Lake Victoria. B．Power stations are managed well in recent years. C．Power stations’ overuse of water is Lake Victoria’s real problem. D．New electricity ways are found in African countries. 103．What can we know about Lake Victoria? A．It’s a freshwater lake. B．It’s becoming bigger. C．It’s far away from the Nile.

But how can we develop a good hobby correctly? Here are some useful suggestions for middle school students. First, choose a hobby according to your own interest. Interest is the best teacher. Never follow others blindly just because your classmates like it. If you are quiet and like staying alone, you can choose reading, drawing or playing the piano. If you are active and like sports, you can try running, ball games or mountain climbing. Only when you really like it can you keep it for a long time. Second, arrange your time reasonably. As Grade Nine students, our main task is studying. We can’t spend too much time on our hobbies and ignore our schoolwork. We can take one or two hours every day or on weekends to do what we like. Don’t let hobbies take up your study time, and don’t give up your hobby completely because of busy study either. Balance is the key. Third, stick to your hobby and never give up easily. Any hobby needs long-term persistence. You may meet difficulties at the beginning. For example, you may feel tired when learning to play basketball, or feel it hard to understand classic books. Don’t give up. Keep practicing and you will make progress day by day. Fourth, choose healthy and positive hobbies. Stay away from bad hobbies such as playing online games all night, wasting time on meaningless short videos. Good hobbies can cultivate your taste, improve your ability and make your teenage life more colorful. 12．How many suggestions does the writer give? A．Three. B．Four. C．Five.

How you do it can make a big difference to your life. The good news is that you can learn to improve your self-talk. First of all, listen to what you say to yourself. If you always tell yourself that you are not smart or good enough, you may start to believe it. Try to change negative (负面的) self-talk into positive (乐观的) self-talk. You can use words like “can” or “will”. For example, you may say, “I will write a great article.” Also, you can try to use the second or third person in your self-talk. In a study, scientist Ethan Kross asked 89 people to give a speech—with only five minutes to get ready. As they prepared, he asked some to use “I” in their self-talk. These people were more likely to be nervous. They said things like, “I can’t prepare a speech in five minutes.” The rest were asked to call themselves “you” or by their own names. They were more likely to give themselves support. They said things like, “Ethan, you can do this!” “Talking in the second or third person helps people put some distance (距离) between themselves and their feelings,” said Kross. It helps people think more clearly about their own problems, just as they think about other people’s. By changing how you talk to yourself, you can feel better and more assured. This can help you do things you didn’t think you could do before. It’s like having a friend in your head who gives you encouragement and support. So next time you suddenly notice you’re talking to yourself, try to make it positive and use “you” or your own name. You might be surprised at how much better you feel and how much more you can achieve. 23．What should people do if their self-talk is negative? A．Stop talking to themselves completely. B．Use positive words like “can” or “will”. C．Only speak to others instead of themselves. D．Write down all their negative thoughts. 24．How might people who used “I” in self-talk feel according to Ethan Kross? A．More confident. B．More nervous. C．More excited. D．More relaxed. 25．How does using “you” in self-talk help people? A．It helps people remember past successes. B．It makes people forget about their problems. C．It makes people focus on other people’s feelings. D．It creates distance between people and their feelings. 26．What does the underlined word “assured” mean in Paragraph 5? A．Outgoing. B．Confident. C．Talented. D．Independent. 27．What is the best title for the text? A．How to Give a Speech B．How to Support Yourself C．How to Improve Your Self-talk D．How to Change Negative Self-talk 【答案】28．B 2．B 3．D 4．B 5．C 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲述了如何改善自我对话，包括将负面自我对话转变为正面自我对话，以及在自我对话中使用第二或第三人称等，这些方法能让人感觉更好、更有信心，从而取得更多成就。 29．第二段提到：“Try to change negative (负面的) self-talk into positive (乐观的) self-talk. You can use words like ‘can’ or ‘will’”，说明如果自我对话是负面的，人们应该使用像“can”或“will”这样的积极词汇。 30．第三段提到：“As they prepared, he asked some to use ‘I’ in their self-talk. These people were more likely to be nervous.”，说明根据Ethan Kross的研究，在自我对话中使用“I”的人可能会更紧张。 31．第四段提到：“Talking in the second or third person helps people put some distance (距离) between themselves and their feelings”，说明在自我对话中使用“you”有助于人们在自己和情感之间创造距离。 32．第五段提到：“By changing how you talk to yourself, you can feel better and more assured. This can help you do things you didn’t think you could do before.”，结合语境可知，通过改变自我对话的方式，人们可以感觉更好、更自信，这能帮助人们做以前认为自己做不到的事情，所以“assured”的意思是“自信的”，与B选项“Confident”意思相符。 33．第一段最后一句“The good news is that you can learn to improve your self-talk.”以及后文围绕如何改善自我对话展开，说明文章主要讲的是如何改善自我对话，C选项“How to Improve Your Self-talk”符合文章主旨。 It’s 2 a.m., and you have an important test in seven hours. You have been studying for days, but you still don’t feel ready. What can you do? Maybe you could drink another cup of coffee and keep studying. But believe it or not, it’s better for you to close your books and go to sleep. Sleep takes up nearly one third of our lives. However, many people do not pay enough attention to it. This is because of the wrong idea about sleep. Sleep is not a waste of time. It is a very important process. While you sleep, your body rests and repairs itself, and still keeps working well. Sleep is also very important for your brain. About one fifth of your blood goes to your brain when you sleep. At night, your brain is busy organizing information. This is very important for your memory. The 19th-century scientist Hermann Ebbinghaus found that people usually forget 40% of new information in the first 20 minutes. This is called the forgetting curve(曲线). However, this losing of information can be avoided through memory consolidation (巩固). One of the most important things for memory consolidation is a good night’s sleep. During sleep, important knowledge is brought back again and stored as long-term memories. This is why sleeping after studying is highly helpful. Not getting enough sleep not only hurts your health but also makes it harder to remember what you have learned. That is why people say, “Sleep on it.” While you sleep, your brain is building new connections. With enough sleep, you will wake up with a clearer, more powerful brain, ready to face the day. 34．What is the writer’s opinion in Para. 1? A．Good sleep is better than staying up late to study. B．It’s necessary to drink coffee when studying late. C．Studying for days can help pass an important test. D．It’s impossible to get ready for a test in seven hours. 35．What does the body do when we sleep? A．It stops all its work to save energy for the brain. B．It sends all blood to the brain to help memorize. C．It starts to learn new knowledge again and stores it. D．It rests, repairs itself and still keeps working well. 36．What can we know from Para. 3? A．People will forget all new information in 20 minutes. B．The forgetting curve can be stopped by drinking coffee. C．Memory consolidation is important to avoid losing information. D．New information can be stored as long-term memories without sleep. 37．What does the underlined phrase “Sleep on it” mean in the passage? A．Sleep to forget the trouble of studying. B．Sleep to help the brain remember knowledge. C．Sleep all night and give up studying for the test. D．Sleep to make the body stronger for studying. 38．What is the main purpose of the passage? A．To tell the importance of sleep for memory. B．To explain why people forget information easily. C．To introduce the finding of Hermann Ebbinghaus. D．To advise people to drink less coffee when studying. 【答案】39．A 2．D 3．C 4．B 5．A 【导语】本文以“考前熬夜学习”的场景切入，围绕睡眠对记忆和学习的重要性展开，解释了睡眠如何帮助大脑整理信息、巩固记忆，并引用艾宾浩斯遗忘曲线说明“睡眠是减少信息遗忘、形成长期记忆的关键”，最终传递出“充足睡眠比熬夜学习更能提升学习效果”的观点。 40．根据文章第一段最后一句“But believe it or not, it’s better for you to close your books and go to sleep.”，作者通过“熬夜喝咖啡继续学习”和“睡觉”的对比，明确表达了核心观点：良好的睡眠比熬夜学习更有好处。 41．根据文章第二段中“While you sleep, your body rests and repairs itself, and still keeps working well.（当你睡觉时，你的身体会休息、自我修复，同时仍然保持良好运转。） ”，D项完全符合对睡眠时身体状态的准确描述。 42．根据文章第三段中“However, this losing of information can be avoided through memory consolidation(巩固). One of the most important things for memory consolidation is a good night’s sleep.（然而，这种信息流失可以通过记忆巩固来避免，而良好的睡眠是记忆巩固最重要的条件之一。）， 原文明确说明“记忆巩固是避免信息流失的关键”，对应C项。 43．根据文章第四段中“Not getting enough sleep not only hurts your health but also makes it harder to remember what you have learned. That is why people say, ‘Sleep on it.’”（睡眠不足不仅损害健康，还会让你更难记住学过的内容，这就是人们说“Sleep on it”的原因。），结合上下文，“Sleep on it”的含义是通过睡眠帮助大脑巩固记忆、记住知识，对应B项。 44．全文围绕“睡眠对记忆的重要性”展开。开头提出“熬夜不如睡觉”，中间解释睡眠如何帮助大脑整理信息、巩固记忆，结尾再次强调睡眠能让大脑更清晰强大。因此文章的主要目的是讲述睡眠对记忆的重要性，对应A项。 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. 45．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. 46．What does the underlined word “vital” in Paragraph 2 mean? A．Important. B．Common. C．Quiet. D．Happy. 47．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. 48．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. 49．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 【答案】50．B 2．A 3．D 4．A 5．C 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，讲述深圳作为候鸟迁徙的重要驿站，通过多种措施（如公园熄灯、改善湿地、智能监测等）为候鸟创造安全的栖息环境，体现城市与自然和谐共处的理念。 51．第一段明确指出：“they close early and turn off all lights at night. This action tries to make a quiet, dark place for migratory birds stopping here during their long trip.”，说明公园提前闭园是为候鸟创造安静的环境。 52．第二段提到深圳是候鸟东亚-澳大利亚迁徙路线上的“vital stop”，结合后文“每年近10万只鸟停留”，推测“vital”意为“重要的”。 53．前文讲“熄灯、特殊路灯、防鸟撞玻璃”等措施，后文讲“改善湿地、智能监测、志愿者清理”等更多保护行动，过渡句应体现“保护措施不止于熄灯”。 54．第三段明确指出：“Smart tools like AI cameras help watch birds without troubling them.”，说明通过AI摄像头观察鸟类。 55．结合全文可知，文章围绕深圳为候鸟创造温暖家园展开。最佳标题是“A Warm Home for Birds”。 In recent years, more and more people have thought that the younger generation (一代人) is staying away from the news, but this couldn’t be further from the truth. 85% of the young say that keeping up to date with the news is important to them, and 69% receive news every day. The older generation likes reading newspapers. However, the younger generation does not buy a daily newspaper. This doesn’t mean that they don’t follow the news. Born into the age of the Internet, the younger generation simply receives the news through digital devices such as computers and smartphones, compared with only 21% of older people. The Internet plays an important part in offering the news to the younger generation. ▲ They choose to follow it once they see it. For example, news headlines appear. These catch the user’s eye and the user reads them. At present, young people don’t depend on social media for the serious news. According to a study, motivations (动机) for following the news are also diverse according to the generation. For the younger generation, the news is largely about being convenient. For the older generation, however, the motivation is greatly about the habit. All in all, it is fair to say that news plays an important part in all our everyday lives. However, what is the difference between the generations is why and how it is received. 56．What is a common wrong idea about young people? A．They use the Internet for news. B．They prefer reading newspapers. C．They don’t care about other people. D．They don’t follow the news at all. 57．Which of the following can be put in “ ▲ ” in Paragraph 3? A．However, young people don’t look for news there actively. B．Social media is the only way they get news. C．They spend hours every day checking news online. D．Older people also use social media for serious news. 58．What does the underlined word “diverse” mean in Paragraph 4? A．Similar. B．Common. C．Different. D．Popular. 59．What does the passage suggest about the news? A．It is only important for older people. B．It is mostly followed in traditional ways. C．Reading it is only a habit of the younger generation. D．It is important for younger and older generations but received differently. 60．Which is the best title for the passage? A．Different Generations’ Online Activities B．News Habits: the Young VS the Old C．The Younger Generation’s Living Habits D．Why the Younger Generation Goes Online 【答案】61．D 2．A 3．C 4．D 5．B 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要探讨了不同代际（年轻一代与老一代）在获取新闻习惯上的差异与共性。 62．根据文章第一段第一句“In recent years, more and more people have thought that the younger generation ( 一代人 ) is staying away from the news, but this couldn’t be further from the truth.”可知，人们普遍存在的一个错误观念是认为年轻人根本不关心或不关注新闻。 63．根据第三段空格后的句子“They choose to follow it once they see it.”以及后文提到的新闻标题出现吸引用户眼球，可知此处应填入与“被动获取”或“不主动寻找”相关的句子。选项A“However, young people don’t look for news there actively.”符合语境，与后文“看到才关注”形成逻辑呼应。 64．根据文章第四段“For the younger generation, the news is largely about being convenient. For the older generation, however, the motivation is greatly about the habit.”可知，两代人关注新闻的动机是截然不同的。因此，划线单词“diverse”意为“不同的、多样的”。 65．根据文章最后一段“All in all, it is fair to say that news plays an important part in all our everyday lives. However, what is the difference between the generations is why and how it is received.”可知，文章表明新闻对年轻一代和老一代都很重要，只是接收方式和原因不同。 66．通读全文，文章主要对比了年轻一代和老一代在关注新闻这一行为上的不同习惯（获取渠道、动机等）。选项B“News Habits: the Young VS the Old”最能概括文章的主旨。 As the weather gets warmer, what do you want to do for fun? It’s the perfect time to plan a day at the beach. At the beach, you can enjoy activities like swimming, surfing and building something in the sand. However, it’s important to keep beach safety in mind. Now there is a new AI water management system (管理系统) that can help prevent drownings (溺水). Sightbit, a new safety program, which was developed by a company, can be used to help save lives. This program was created after its creator saw someone drowning in the Dead Sea. He believed this could be stopped and then he started working on this technology. The Sightbit system works by using cameras at the beach to read the situations in the water. The AI is able to watch the videos and find dangers. For example, it can tell when the waves (海浪) are dangerous or if someone is in trouble in the water. The system can also tell the difference between adults, children and different kinds of boats. This information helps rescuers know where and when someone needs help. Then they will receive warnings on devices (设备) like smartphones or smartwatches. In this way, they can act quickly to stop accidents. Now this technology is used on many beaches around the world, and in both public and private places. The creator’s goal is to let every beach be a safe place where people can enjoy their time without worries. This technology shows how science and caring for others can make a big difference in keeping us safe while we are having fun. It’s a great example of what can be achieved when we use new ideas to solve real-world problems. 67．How does the writer lead into the topic “beach safety” in Paragraph 1? A．By telling a story. B．By making a survey. C．By listing numbers. D．By asking a question. 68．Why did the creator create this AI water management system? A．Because he hoped to have better water conditions. B．Because he was interested in different kinds of boats. C．Because he wanted to prevent drownings at the beach. D．Because he needed to record the number of people swimming. 69．What does the underlined word “rescuers” mean? A．The persons who watch over beaches to ensure safety. B．The persons who help people to catch fish in the ocean. C．The persons who teach swimming lessons to children and adults. D．The persons who clean the beach and pick up rubbish near water. 70．What do we know from the last paragraph? A．Technology makes us safe but stops us from having fun. B．This technology will be used in many beaches all over the world soon. C．The development of technology comes from solving problems in life. D．The creator of this technology doesn’t want it to be used in private beaches. 71．What is the text mainly about? A．Fun activities at the beach. B．The rules for swimming safety. C．A new AI system improves beach safety. D．Tips for protecting the beach environment. 【答案】72．D 2．C 3．A 4．C 5．C 【导语】本文是一篇科技说明文，介绍了Sightbit公司开发的AI水域管理系统，该系统通过海滩摄像头监测水域情况，及时发现危险并提醒救援人员，旨在预防溺水事故。 73．第一段以“what do you want to do for fun?”这一问句引出海滩活动，随后转折强调海滩安全的重要性，因此通过提问引入话题。 74．第二段提到“This program was created after its creator saw someone drowning in the Dead Sea. He believed this could be stopped”，说明创作者开发该系统是为了预防海滩溺水。 75．第四段提到“This information helps rescuers know where and when someone needs help.”，结合上下文，“rescuers”指海滩上确保安全的救援人员。 76．最后一段提到“This technology shows how science and caring for others can make a big difference... It’s a great example of what can be achieved when we use new ideas to solve real-world problems.”，说明科技的发展源于解决生活中的问题。 77．全文围绕Sightbit AI水域管理系统展开，介绍了其工作原理、功能和应用，因此主旨是“一个提高海滩安全的新AI系统”。 China has a special system of 24 solar terms (节气) that help people understand the cycle of seasons and changes in weather. Chunfen, or the Spring Equinox, as the 4th solar term, usually falls around March 20 or 21. During Chunfen, the sun shines straight on the equator, so day and night are of the same length all over the world. Chunfen holds a more important position than many other solar terms. There is a well-known saying in China, which goes, “Chunfen divides the spring and balances (平衡) the yin and yang.” In ancient times, it was highly paid attention to. It is a period when all things come back to life, a bit like a lively celebration for the arrival of spring. In northern China, it is a common custom for people to fly kites on Chunfen. Many families go out together to fly colorful kites, sharing a comfortable and joyful feeling. Since kites fly high in the sky, flying kites is believed to help people get good luck and keep bad luck away in the new spring. In the south of China, eating spring vegetables is also the traditional food for this day, usually cooked with fish slices into a soup called “spring soup”. Eating spring vegetables symbolizes good health and a new start. Some areas have a custom of worshipping the sun during Chunfen. People present sacrifices and pray for good luck and peace—hoping everything goes well in the coming farming season. Another activity is standing eggs, which is a popular folk game on this day. As Chunfen marks the balance of day and night, people believe it is the easiest day to stand an egg upright, expressing their hope for a happy and prosperous year. To sum up, Chunfen is not just a solar term. It is also a necessary part of Chinese culture. It makes people feel a strong sense of connection with nature and take pride in their culture during the lively spring. 78．Which solar term is Chunfen? A．The 3rd. B．The 4th. C．The 21st. D．The 22nd. 79．What do people in southern China traditionally eat on Chunfen? A．Cakes. B．Tangyuan. C．Dumplings.

A．④→③→①→② B．①→③→④→② C．④→①→③→② D．③→④→①→② 81．Which of the following is TRUE about Chunfen? A．It is the 5th solar term in China. B．Flying kites is a custom in southern China. C．It is an important part of Chinese culture. D．People only worship the sun on Chunfen. 82．What is the main idea of the passage? A．How to fly kites in spring. B．How to make spring soup. C．How to balance day and night. D．Something about the solar term—Chunfen. 【答案】83．B 2．D 3．A 4．C 5．D 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了中国传统节气——春分，包括它的时间、天文特点、文化地位、南北方习俗以及其文化意义。   84．根据第一段“Chunfen, or the Spring Equinox, as the 4th solar term, usually falls around March 20 or 21”，可知春分是第四个节气。 85．根据第三段“In the south of China, eating spring vegetables is also the traditional food for this day, usually cooked with fish slices into a soup called ‘spring soup’”，可知南方的传统食物是春菜和春汤。 86．文章第一段介绍了春分“day and night are of the same length”，对应④；第三段介绍了北方放风筝的习俗，对应③；第四段介绍了祭祀太阳、祈求丰收的习俗，对应①；最后一段总结春分是中国文化的重要部分，对应②。正确顺序是④→③→①→②。 87．根据最后一段“To sum up, Chunfen is not just a solar term. It is also a necessary part of Chinese culture”，可知春分是中国文化的重要部分。 88．全文围绕春分的时间、特点、习俗和文化意义展开，因此主旨是介绍节气——春分，对应选项D。 Most of us realize that we must take care of the environment, and most of us take steps to save energy and reduce waste and pollution. But recently, some “green truths” have been shown to be only half true, or even completely false. Here are some common ones. Which are really green? Paper shopping bags are better than plastic ones. Plastic bags cause litter and are a danger to wild animals, which mistake them for food. It takes hundreds of years for plastic to break down, but much less time for paper. Because of this, people think paper bags are the better environmental choice. However, making a paper bag uses four times as much energy as making a plastic bag. The process also produces more greenhouse gases. In fact, both kinds of bags are bad for the environment. So, take a reusable bag with you when you go shopping. When you turn off a device (电器), it stops using power. When we turn off a device, such as television, it goes into standby mode. Devices still use power. This happens because electricity continues to leak (漏) from the device, even when it is turned “off”. To make sure your device is in fact off, remove the plug from its power supply. Eating local food is good for the environment. It seems like common sense: eating local food should be better for the environment, because it does not need to be transported long distances and kept cold during transport. Unfortunately, it is not that simple. The production of food uses most of the energy and produces most of the greenhouse gases. In some cases, local produce might have used more energy and produced more greenhouse gases than products grown a long way away. It’s better to take a shower than a bath. It depends on how long you spend in the shower and how large your bath is. If you spend more than eight minutes in a shower, you’ll use as much water as in a bath—about 50 liters of water. Therefore, the key is to keep your shower time as short as possible. Environmental awareness is now part of daily life. But it’s worth checking common ideas and opinions to see what’s really green. 89．What does the writer advise people to use when going shopping? A．Paper bags. B．Plastic bags. C．Reusable bags. D．cloth bags. 90．Why do devices still use power when they are turned “off”? A．Because they are broken. B．Because they are in stand-by mode and electricity leaks. C．Because the power button is not pressed hard enough. D．Because they need power to stay connected to the Internet. 91．What can we infer about local food from the passage? A．It is always more environmentally friendly. B．It is always more expensive than imported food. C．It might not be as green as people think in some cases. D．It tastes better than food from far away. 92．What does the word “leak” most probably mean? A．To stop suddenly. B．To escape slowly. C．To increase quickly. D．To disappear completely. 93．What is the main idea of the passage? A．We should stop all activities that are bad for the environment. B．We should question common “green truths” to understand what is truly green. C．All traditional environmental ideas are wrong. D．It is impossible to live a green life. 【答案】94．C 2．B 3．C 4．B 5．B 【导语】本文指出，一些人们普遍认为的“环保做法”其实并不一定正确，通过几个例子，引导人们重新审视常见的环保观念。 95．第4段末尾“So, take a reusable bag with you when you go shopping.”作者建议人们购物时使用可重复使用的袋子。 96．第6段“When we turn off a device, such as television, it goes into standby mode. Devices still use power. This happens because electricity continues to leak from the device, even when it is turned ‘off’.”电器关闭后仍用电，是因为它们处于待机模式，存在电力泄漏。 97．第8段“In some cases, local produce might have used more energy and produced more greenhouse gases than products grown a long way away.”文中提到，本地食物在某些情况下可能并不比外地食物更环保。 98．第6段“electricity continues to leak from the device, even when it is turned ‘off’.”“leak”在这里的意思是电力从电器中“慢慢流失/泄露”，与选项B“To escape slowly”意思一致。 99．文章开头提到“some ‘green truths’ have been shown to be only half true, or even completely false”，结尾也强调要检验常见的环保观念。全文主旨是引导人们质疑常见的“环保真相”，理解真正的环保是什么。 Lake Victoria is the largest lake in Africa. It is also the second largest freshwater lake in the world. It is very important because it helps to feed the longest river in Africa, the Nile. The lake furnishes water, food and electricity for the people in several African countries. Unluckily, Lake Victoria is in trouble. It is becoming smaller. In Uganda, there are power stations (发电站) at the lake’s outlet (出口) to the Nile. These stations make electricity and also help to control how much water is in the lake. The water level used to be high, but it is now falling. There are a few reasons why this might be happening. One reason could be the dry weather. The area has had very little rain in recent years. The dry weather means there is less water in the lake. However, some experts think the real problem is the power stations. Many people think the stations are using too much water from the lake. There have been calls for the stations to manage their water use more carefully to help the lake’s water level recover. This problem makes us think: How should people live with nature? We need nature’s water and power, but we must not use too much. If we take more than nature can give, it will cause problems in the end. 根据材料内容选择最佳答案。 100．Which of the following can take the place of “furnishes” in the text? A．saves. B．provides. C．Carries. D．Fights. 101．Why is the dry weather a serious problem for Lake Victoria? A．Because it is a clear sign of climate change. B．Because it makes the water in the lake less. C．Because it makes the power stations stop working. D．Because it is the only reason why the lake is getting smaller. 102．What is the main idea of Paragraph 4? A．The dry weather is the only problem of Lake Victoria. B．Power stations are managed well in recent years. C．Power stations’ overuse of water is Lake Victoria’s real problem. D．New electricity ways are found in African countries. 103．What can we know about Lake Victoria? A．It’s a freshwater lake. B．It’s becoming bigger. C．It’s far away from the Nile. D．It’s the world’s largest lake. 104．What’s the best title for the text? A．The History of Lake Victoria B．The Relationship Between Lakes and Rivers C．Lake Victoria’s Geography D．Lake Victoria’s Water Problem 【答案】105．B 2．B 3．C 4．A 5．D 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，讲述了维多利亚湖的重要地位、当前面临的水位下降问题及其成因，并引发人们对人与自然关系的思考。   106．第一段语句“The lake furnishes water, food and electricity for the people in several African countries.”可知，“furnishes”在此处表示“提供”，与“provides”意思相近。 107．第三段语句“The dry weather means there is less water in the lake.”可知，干旱天气导致湖泊水量减少，是一个严重的问题。 108．第四段第一句“However, some experts think the real problem is the power stations. Many people think the stations are using too much water from the lake.”可知，第四段的主旨是发电站过度用水是维多利亚湖真正的问题。 109．第一段前两句“Lake Victoria is the largest lake in Africa. It is also the second largest freshwater lake in the world.”可知，维多利亚湖是一个淡水湖。 110．全文围绕维多利亚湖的水位下降问题展开，介绍了其现状、成因及相关思考，因此“Lake Victoria’s Water Problem”最适合作为文章标题。 试卷第18页，共19页 试卷第19页，共19页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
