Have you ever heard of a special tradition in the figure skating(
competition?When a figure skater finishes a perfect performance,
fans throw hundreds of soft toys as gifts onto the ice.It is a magical way
for fans to say,"We love you!"
Interestingly,this tradition was different in the past.In the 1990s,fans usually threw
2026年温州市初中英语学业水平考试模拟卷(一)(共12页,第3页)
flowers onto the ice.However,flowers were not only hard to clean,but also dangerous for
skaters.Flower parts,like flower petals and stems(茎;干),often fell off and stuck to the
ice.They could even hurt the skaters.So fans stopped throwing flowers around the year 2001.
Instead,they chose soft toys which are unbreakable and harmless.
With so many toys on the ice,you might wonder:where do they all go after the
competition?Usually,a group of young kids called "sweepers"quickly collect the
toys and send them to skaters.However,skaters cannot take all of them home because
their suitcases(行李箱)are not big enough.Most toys start a heartwarming“second
journey"-they are given to the local community.The rest of the toys are given back to
the fans.In this way,skaters share their happiness and say "thank you"to the people who
support them.
Next time you watch a figure skating competition,just enjoy the ramn of toys on the ice.It's
more than a tradition-it's the magic that makes the sport full of joy and love!

DPolar bears are facing a big danger from climate
change.However,new research shows something
hopeful.Polar bears in southern Greenland are changing
over time to adapt to(适应)the changing environment..
2According to the study,these southern polar bears
have changed their diet because of higher temperatures.
In the past,they hunted high-fat animals like seals (for food on the sea ice.Seals made
up more than 90%of their food,and the polar bears could hunt for about 180 days a year.But
now,southern polar bears live in a warmer environment with much less sea ice.So they can
only hunt for around 90 days a year,and can't get enough seals.As a result,they have to eat
more plants to stay alive.
3 Also,the research team found a big change in the southern polar bears'DNA.All
animals have small DNA pieces called "jumping genes".These genes can move around
in the DNA.When they move,they change the DNA instructions and influence how an
animal acts.Scientists compare southern and northern polar bears.They found that jumping
genes are more active in the southern bears.Some of these genes are important for living in
warmer weather.They help the bears use fat and sugar better,especially when there is little
food to eat.
2026年温州市初中英语学业水平考试模拟卷(一)(共12页,第6页)
④“The findings give us real hope,”said the lead researcher Dr Alice Godden.“This
shows that polar bears can adapt to rapid climate change."But she also warned that the bears'
ability to adapt has limits().That means sea ice is disappearing too fast for polar bears
to keep up.It is expected that over two-thirds of polar bears may die out by 2050.So,it is
necessary for us to slow down rising temperatures and protect polar bears.
()27.Why do southern polar bears eat more plants now?
A.Seals are in great danger.
B.They are too weak to hunt seals
C.There is less sea ice than before.
D.Plants grow fast in warm weather.
28.Which is TRUE about“jumping genes”?
A.They can move inside the DNA.
B.They produce fat for polar bears.
C.They make polar bears jump higher.
D.They are active in northern polar bears.
29.What is Dr Alice Godden's attitude(态度)towards the findings'?
A.Sad and hopeless.
B.Hopeful but worried.
C.Interested and excited.
D.Surprised but doubtful.

Opinion Paragraph
110110172311217约
What is an opinion paragraph?
An opinion paragraph is a short piece of writing that shares
your ideas about a certain topic.31.
Also,it's better to
cover different views on the topic.
932.
Opinion writing helps us organise thoughts and support our ideas with reasons,
making us confident speakers.It also teaches us to see things from different sides.Most
of all,it encourages our independent thinking in daily life.
How can we write a good opinion paragraph?
Step 1:Choose a meaningful topic
Pick a topic that people may have different ideas about.Avoid simple facts that
everyone agrees on.
Strong Topic:Schools should add more PE classes.
⑧Weak Topic:33.一-
Step 2:Organize your ideas
To make your writing well-organised,you can use the OREO writing strategy:
Opinion:Start with your clear idea about the topic.

Al in the Classroom: Helpful or Harmful?

Guys, I am quite worried these days. Last week, almost everyone handed in perfect homework! But today when I asked simple questions about the homework, nobody could answer. Most students just copied answers from AI. How terrible! Real learning is disappearing!

As a student, I often use AI to learn maths . Actually, it explains,maths rules better than my textbook. But yesterday, I tried to solve a problem without AI. I couldn’ t do it at all! My brain just stopped working. If we depend on AI too much, we might lose the ability to think!
Besides real learning, I also worry that it is not fair to poor students.The best AI apps always cost money. My friend has a VIP account and gets perfect answers quickly, but I can't afford it, It feels like money buys better grades.)
We cannot stop technology. Instead of saying“No”, we should learn how to use it. In the future, most jobs will need AI skills. The problem is not the tool, but how we use it to learn.

A. He lost his job.

C. Students didn't do homework.
D. Students copied answers from AI.

Have you ever heard of a special tradition in the figure skating(花样滑冰) competition? When a figure skater finishes a perfect performance,fans throw hundreds of soft toys as gifts onto the ice. It is a magical way for fans to say,“We love you!”
Interestingly, this tradition was different in the past. In the 1990s, fans usually threw
2026年温州市初中英语学业水平考试模拟卷(一)(共12页,第3页)
学科网(北京)股份有限公司
flowers onto the ice. However, flowers were not only hard to clean, but also dangerous for skaters. Flower parts, like flower petals and stems(茎;干), often fell off and stuck to the ice. They could even hurt the skaters. So fans stopped throwing flowers around the year 2001.Instead, they chose soft toys which are unbreakable and harmless.
With so many toys on the ice, you might wonder: where do they all go after the competition? Usually, a group of young kids called“sweepers” quickly collect the toys and send them to skaters. However, skaters cannot take all of them home because their suitcases(行李箱 ) are not big enough. Most toys start a heartwarming“second journey”—— they are given to the local community. The rest of the toys are given back to the fans. In this way, skaters share their happiness and say“thank you” to the people who support them.
Next time you watch a figure skating competition, just enjoy the rain of toys on the ice. It's more than a tradition —— it's the magic that makes the sport full of joy and love!

Wang Jiali, a 39-year-old deaf woman, is working at the“Silent Café” in Huai’ an, Jiangsu Province. Her hands move smoothly as she makes coffee, and she greets every customer with a big smile and sign language(手语) For Wang, this quiet little shop is more than a workplace —— it is her greatest pride.
The“Silent Café” is a special government project for the deaf. It opened in January2024 and its goal is to offer real jobs to the deaf. To make sure the special workers can offer good service there, the local government organises special training. Before working, workers spend about a week learning coffee-making skills. Now, they can make up to 200 drinks every day.
However, communication in the shop is not always easy.“Sometimes customers get angry when no one replies to them,” said Wang. To solve this problem, the café provides workers with smart tools to communicate, including large menu boards, writing pads and voice-to-text apps. Also, customers can scan(扫描 ) a QR code to order online. They all make the whole service easy for everyone.
The Silent Café has achieved a great success since its opening. It has sold over 10, 000cups of coffee in just four months. So far, the shop has helped over 20 deaf people learn new skills and secure real jobs to live a better life. Because of the success, a second shop opened inJuly 2025. It brought hope to more people like Wang.
The café shows that disabled people can work well and live with dignity (尊严). WangJiali’ s workmate Xiao Qi, who used to speak very little, has now become a confident shop manager. She says,“This job has completely changed my life.” Another worker Ding Ding added,“I feel I belong here.”
( ) 23. How does the writer begin the text?
A. By telling a joke. B. By comparing facts.
C. By asking questions. D. By describing a moment.
( ) 24. What do we know about the“Silent Café”?

B. It was opened by Wang Jiali in January 2024.
C. The workers mainly make coffee for the deaf.
D. The workers spend a month learning to make coffee.

①Polar bears are facing a big danger from climate change. However, new research shows something hopeful. Polar bears in southern Greenland are changing over time to adapt to(适应) the changing environment.
②According to the study, these southern polar bears have changed their diet because of higher temperatures.In the past, they hunted high-fat animals like seals (海狮) for food on the sea ice. Seals made up more than 90% of their food, and the polar bears could hunt for about 180 days a year. But now, southern polar bears live in a warmer environment with much less sea ice. So they can only hunt for around 90 days a year, and can't get enough seals. As a result, they have to eat more plants to stay alive.
③ Also, the research team found a big change in the southern polar bears’ DNA. All animals have small DNA pieces called“jumping genes”. These genes can move around in the DNA. When they move, they change the DNA instructions and influence how an animal acts. Scientists compare southern and northern polar bears. They found that jumping genes are more active in the southern bears. Some of these genes are important for living in warmer weather. They help the bears use fat and sugar better, especially when there is little food to eat.

④“The findings give us real hope,” said the lead researcher Dr Alice Godden.“This shows that polar bears can adapt to rapid climate change.” But she also warned that the bears’ability to adapt has limits(局限 ). That means sea ice is disappearing too fast for polar bears to keep up. It is expected that over two–thirds of polar bears may die out by 2050. So, it is necessary for us to slow down rising temperatures and protect polar bears.
( ) 27. Why do southern polar bears eat more plants now?
A. Seals are in great danger.
B. They are too weak to hunt seals
C. There is less sea ice than before.
D. Plants grow fast in warm weather.
) 28. Which is TRUE about“jumping genes”?
A. They can move inside the DNA.
B. They produce fat for polar bears.
C. They make polar bears jump higher.
D. They are active in northern polar bears.
29. What is Dr Alice Godden’ s attitude (态度) towards the findings?
A. Sad and hopeless.
B. Hopeful but worried.
C. Interested and excited.
D. Surprised but doubtful.

Strong Topic: Schools should add more PE classes.
Weak Topic: 33.

Opinion: Start with your clear idea about the topic.

Example: Add 1——2 examples to make your opinion more believable.
Opinion: Repeat your idea in a different way.
Step 3: Check and improve your work
